Chapter 153: (Third Northern Expedition)

In the first year of Fengtian, April 20, outside the Chengtian Gate of Luoyang

The little emperor Gongsun Ning came to see off Shangguan Yin Feng outside the Chengtian Gate in the midst of the ministers of civil and military affairs, which is a great honor, of course, this is also what Shangguan Yin Feng himself can bear, if it weren't for him, the Cheng Dynasty in the storm might have collapsed long ago.

"Your Majesty, in this Northern Expedition, the ministers must do their best to take Hebei, recover the lost territory, and eliminate the rebels, in order to repay the favor of the emperor." In front of so many civil and military ministers, this face must be given to Gongsun Ning, although he is only five years old.

Hearing this, Gongsun Ning replied in a childish voice: "The teacher is here to cherish, I will prepare a banquet for the teacher in the capital, and celebrate the teacher's triumphant return in advance." ”

Shangguan Yin Feng hugged his fists and replied to Gongsun Ning: "Emperor Xie, the minister has set off..."

Shangguan Yin Feng's 100,000 troops are connected for nearly ten miles, and the ones who walk in the front are Li Yanqing and Cao Zhen, in addition to Cao Zhen's 3,000 vanguard soldiers who fell into the camp, it is the 7,000 people led by Li Yanqing, and the middle is Shangguan Yin Feng and the sergeants of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division, one by one wearing flying fish suits with armor, carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists, holding round shields, behind the Jinyi Guard, is the Shenji Battalion led by Huang Botao, behind him are a thousand black-clothed musket soldiers, all of them carrying a bamboo basket on their backs, It was full of iron marbles and gunpowder, and the musket soldiers were all dressed in black, with pleated skirts on their lower bodies, and a piece of armor on their chests and backs to facilitate their fighting, and arquebuses, all of which were erected and carried over their shoulders, in high spirits.

Behind these musket soldiers were twenty carriages, which were also enclosed, loaded with Shenwu cannons, and the carriages were followed by carriages and gunpowder with cannonballs.

On this expedition, Shangguan Yin Feng took away all the trained musket soldiers, including twenty of the fifty Shenwu cannons, to open the door to Handan with these thermal weapons.

Shangguan Yin Feng was wearing a black unicorn armor, a pleated skirt on the lower body, gold silk embroidered boots, wearing a Xichuan red brocade and black cloud satin robe, carrying a seven-star sword at his waist, holding a night gun, stepping down was the best sweat and blood BMW, dressed heroically, in his own words, it was so handsome that others doubted life: "The order goes down, the army is speeding up, and we will rush to Handan within seven days." ”

"Whoa..."

The first year of Fengtian, April 26, Hebei, Handan

Handan guard, Yuan Liang, the general of the south of the town of Dayanguo, the fourth general of Hebei Baliang, second only to Li Yanqing, the famous general of Hebei to defend the city, in the early years of the emperor, Yuan Jingchu led the troops to attack the Xiongnu, and was besieged by the Huns 140,000 troops in Chicheng, when Yuan Liang took 17,000 soldiers to cover Yuan Jingchu's retreat, and led the army to hold Chicheng alone for a month, until Li Yanqing arrived with reinforcements, which repelled the Xiongnu army, and finally Yuan Liang only had one hundred and seventy-three soldiers left, and all of them were wounded, so the name shocked the land of Youyan.

After the Battle of Chicheng, Yuan Liang was named the Hun general by Gongsun Shu, to Yuan Jingchu called the emperor, the general of Zhennan, after Yuan Liang guarded Handan, he was crowned the general of Zhennan, and he supervised all things in Handan, and the rights were unlimited, of course, there is one thing that has to be said, Li Yanqing has the best relationship with Yuan Liang in Hebei, and is commensurate with brothers.

On the upper floor of the urn city at the south gate of Handan, the expressionless Yuan Liang looked at Li Xiucheng's army a few miles away, and began to let go, it is said that he should now have a sense of the current vision of the great enemy, but the real reason for him to let go is that he found out that the vanguard of the Cheng Dynasty was his old friend, old acquaintance, Li Yanqing.

"General, since the emperor has given the order, the general doesn't have to worry about it anymore, after all, each is his master, and the general doesn't have to worry about it." The general next to him arched his hand and said.

A few days ago, Yuan Liang received a holy decree from Yuan Jingchu, which not only said that reinforcements would arrive within a month, but also directly mentioned Li Yanqing, who had returned to the Cheng Dynasty, and the content was very simple: 'Anyone who sees Li Yanqing, kills and captures him, and the official is promoted to three ranks, and the marquis of a hundred households will be sealed without mercy'.

"Having said that, the friendship between General Ben and Li Yanqing is a well-known thing in the imperial court, if this battle is won, it is easy to say, if it is defeated, General Ben will not be able to escape the blame, and he will definitely suffer the criticism of the people in the DPRK, and I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed." Yuan Liang's sorrow is here, he doesn't want to fight with Li Yanqing, and he has to act according to the will given to him by Yuan Jingchu, otherwise except for himself, his wife and children in Beiping City may not be able to be saved, so he has to make an attitude of fighting to the death.

"The general can rest assured, the imperial court sent the general to personally lead 100,000 troops to Handan to support, as long as the reinforcements arrive, those soldiers of the Cheng Dynasty will know the difficulties and retreat, this Handan is the capital of the first Zhao State, the general has been operating for a long time, the city wall is tall, and when the food of the Cheng Dynasty is exhausted, the army will be withdrawn." The general comforted Yuan Liang, this Handan City seemed to be impregnable in his eyes, after all, the 300,000 allied troops of Li Xiucheng and Kou Sui failed to capture Handan last year.

"I hope so." Yuan Liang took a deep breath, looked at the military camp in the distance, and said so in his mouth.

On the first day of the fifth month of the first year of Fengtian, Shangguan Yin Feng led the army to finally arrive ten miles outside the city of Handan, and Li Xiucheng converged together, the military tent stretched for thirty miles, in order to avoid the military tent being attacked by Yuan Liang at night, dozens of trap pits were specially dug outside the camp, just in case.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shangguan Yin Feng sat on the main seat, and the rest of the generals stood on both sides in turn: "Generals, in this Northern Expedition, this king boasted in front of the Luoyang ministers that Haikou would besiege Beiping City at the end of this year, and then save the crisis in Liaoyang. ”

"The last general will definitely go all out." The generals in the tent said in unison.

"Li Yanqing." Shangguan Yin Feng looked at Li Yanqing, who was standing in the first position on the left, and ordered: "This king ordered you and Cao Zhen to lead the army and horses of the headquarters to attack Handan first. ”

When Li Yanqing heard this, he first froze for a moment, and then replied, "The last general is ordered." With that, he walked out of the tent.

Huang Wei next to him couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, forgive your subordinates for being stupid, according to the subordinates, the Pingxiang Marquis has a very good relationship with Handan Guard Yuan Liang, and the subordinates are worried that the Pingxiang Marquis will not be able to bear to do it when the time comes." ”

In fact, Huang Wei has something to say, although he is a close subordinate of Shangguan Yin Feng, and the descendant of the lineage, but he can't mess up the humility, Li Yanqing is the Marquis of Pingxiang, and the imperial court sealed, that is, the meaning of Shangguan Yin Feng, naturally he can't say that Li Yanqing is suspected of collaborating with the enemy or saying that he is defecting to the battle, otherwise something like the last time he fought with Jia Fu and Cao Zhen will happen again, and I can't guarantee that the eccentric Shangguan Yin Feng will make some moths.

Shangguan Yin Feng looked at the other people in the tent, shook his body with a smile, like a second-rate son: "This king knows what you think in your heart, you can all think of it, this king can't think of it?" To tell you the truth, although this king let Li Yanqing attack Handan, his Cao Zhen is not a fuel-efficient, what to do This king knows in his heart, but the relationship between colleagues must be harmonious, this is what this king has repeatedly emphasized, otherwise, this king will make you look good. ”

"Subordinate convicted." When Huang Wei heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Shangguan Yin Feng and said, only then did he think that he had a bad temper, and he really came.

"Okay, this king said that for the last time, if colleagues attack each other and are suspicious, this king will not be spared." Shangguan Yin Feng said word by word, sonorous and powerful.

"Follow the teachings of the king." Everyone in the tent replied in unison.

Before Cao Zhen and Deng Yu competed for the position of pioneer in the account, Huang Wei, who had nothing to do with him, stood up and spoke to Cao Zhen, which caused discord among the generals of the two camps under Shangguan Yin Feng's account.
