Chapter 921 Royal Driving Expedition
Yan Jun?
It's Yan Jun again!
Sabotage your own plans one after another!
The previous burning of Yingcheng finally calmed the people in the city and actively rebuilt Yingcheng.
Assassinate Emperor Yan and send thousands of elite killers, assassins, still destroyed by Yan Qi.
The north, the country of Yan, seems to have become his nemesis.
At this moment, Xiong Wu had a murderous impulse, and he couldn't wait to rush directly into Ancheng, chop Lin Feng alive, and vent the anger in his heart!
Previously, if he knew that the Yan general Feng Shihu would lead the troops to cross the river and break into the south, he would definitely not ask the soldiers and the Mo family to send troops.
He must personally lead the Xuanjia soldiers to the north and strive to kill Emperor Yan with his own hands.
A thousand years of good opportunity was missed, the Mo family giant, the soldier master, put the responsibility on him, hateful, hateful.
After the anger, Xiong Wu's mood gradually calmed down.
Yan general Feng Shihu led the cavalry into the south, Emperor Yan's whereabouts are unknown, taking advantage of Han Zhitong, Xiong Kui, and Yue Yunshan gradually recovering, and spending great efforts to rescue the three ministers of the humerus, it is time to act!
Xiong Wu did not hesitate, and summoned Han Zhitong, Yue Yunshan, and Xiong Wu into the study!
In the study, the three of them discussed from noon to dusk, and unanimously decided on the idea of continuing to attack Cai Guo.
Recently, Han Xiangzi led the Chu army, and Cai general Wu Jieshao, Yan general Feng Yi, in the south of Cai had a fierce battle, Han Xiangzi planned to go north, but was repeatedly defeated by Wu Jieshao and Feng Yi, resulting in the Chu army unable to move an inch!
The situation in the south is becoming more and more complicated, and the three of them who rescued Han Zhitong and Xiong Wu hope that the three of them will lead their troops to defeat Wu Jieshao and Feng Yi by surprise, and extend the power of Great Chu to the south bank of the Yangtze River.
In this way, the Chu army can use warships to constantly attack the southern cities of Yan on the Yangtze River, disrupt the deployment of Yan State, and take the opportunity to quickly strengthen itself!
After some negotiations, Han Zhitong promised to personally lead the troops to the south of Cai State to defeat Cai Yan's two infantry cavalry, Yue Yunshan and Xiong Kui were also ready to recruit troops and horses, retrain Xuanjia soldiers, and take the opportunity to expand the military strength of Great Chu!
However, when the palace lamp was lit in the palace, the study flickered with candlelight, and the three generals of Han Zhitong prepared to leave.
A guard outside quickly broke in and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the north, and the messenger is waiting outside the study!" ”
Northern?
North of the Yangtze River, or north of Chu?
Xiong Wu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said to the guards: "Quickly bring the messenger in!" ”
At present, he hopes for news from the north of the Yangtze River, at that time, it is possible that a war will break out between Song and Yan, or chaos will break out within Yan Kingdom!
In this way, the pressure on Chu State will be greatly reduced.
The guards withdrew, and the messenger hurriedly walked in, took out the letter from his body, handed it to the eunuch next to him, and said: "Your Majesty, the latest news from Cai Guo, not long ago, Emperor Yan personally defeated 60,000 Yue troops, killed Zhang Yuting, a famous general of Yue State, and captured Ancheng and the surrounding four cities!" ”
"What?" Hearing this, Xiong Wu hadn't yet taken the letter from the eunuch's hand, so he couldn't help but stand up in surprise, holding the dragon case, taken aback, staring at the messenger in front of him and asking: "Nonsense, Emperor Yan has no army in the south of the Yangtze River, and Feng Yi's army is fighting fiercely with Han Xiangzi's army, how can Emperor Yan defeat 60,000 Yue troops and kill Zhang Yuting?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare to say much, what the letter says is sent back by Da Chu in the Cai State court!" The messenger hurriedly defended what had happened although he had not witnessed the battle between the two armies of Yan and Vietnam.
However, at present, whether in Cai or Yue, it is rumored that Emperor Yan defeated 60,000 Yue troops, and Zhang Yuting, a famous general of Yue, was killed by Yan General.
Xiong Wu quickly opened the letter, quickly browsed it, and described in his heart that Zhang Yuting was indeed killed, and 60,000 Vietnamese soldiers were killed. Kill, the sender's official rank in the Cai Guo court is not low, and intuitive information can be obtained, and the content of the letter will definitely not be faked.
"Yan army, Yue army, is it possible that the 60,000 Yue army are all a group of pigs, how can they be killed by more than a thousand Yan horses!" Xiong Wu said angrily,
It is no wonder that Han Xiangzi recently sent back the news that the Vietnamese army disappeared in the north, and it was not carried out in accordance with the previous deployment of Chu and Yue, and now it seems that Zhang Yuting led the army in pursuit of Emperor Yan, or rather, at that time, Zhang Yuting's account, led 60,000 Vietnamese troops, have all been killed by Yan Cai!
The Vietnamese army was defeated in the north, and Ancheng and other cities were occupied by the Yan army, and he had previously discussed and deployed with Han Zhitong, Yue Yunshan, and Xiong Kui, and they would all be overturned.
Half a day of hard work and hard work, it became a bamboo basket to draw water!
Next, the Great Chu army must be redeployed, otherwise, the problem will become very serious.
"Your Majesty, what happened, Emperor Yan is a major general in the south, how can he defeat Zhang Yuting, Zhang Yuting is a general in the south, will the news be a rumor!" Xiong Kui raised his head and looked at Xiong Wu who was sitting on the soft couch and asked.
At this moment, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious!
Xiong Wu did not hesitate, sent the letter in his hand to the eunuch, and sent it back to Xiong Kui, Han Zhitong, and Yue Yunshan.
The three of them quickly browsed through each other, hoping to find out what was going on, but when the three of them saw what was in their minds, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Yuting was defeated, 60,000 elite Vietnamese troops were killed, and the other party turned out to be more than 1,000 iron horsemen led by Emperor Yan, how is this possible, is Zhang Yuting an idiot?
How could it be defeated so quickly!
Yan cavalry is iron, or is it said that the Vietnamese army is paper paste, the gap between the number of the two armies is so big, but the Vietnamese army was defeated so badly, even the commander was killed by Yan generals.
If it weren't for the news coming from Cai Guochaotang, Han Zhitong and the three of them, I don't believe that the Vietnamese army was defeated!
This battle, which came suddenly, had an effect beyond everyone's expectations, completely changing the current pattern of princes in the north and south, and dealing a heavy blow to the morale of the southern army.
Emperor Yan's invincible reputation would sooner or later spread throughout the southern vassal states.
Emperor Yan will become the southern army, on the way to the north, a high wall that cannot be pushed to.
If there is no victory to reverse the victory, the southern troops will become frightened birds, and on the battlefield, I am afraid that they will never dare to fight the Yan army again.
"Your Majesty, the Vietnamese army is incompetent, what should we do next?" Yue Yunshan Road, as if he had forgotten that during his Northern Expedition, Lin Feng personally led troops to annihilate 150,000 Xuanjia soldiers.
Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan again, the southern generals have been in the hands of the other party many times, and the other party is like a demon, surrounding the hearts of the southern generals.
Xiong Wu's face was full of anger, his thoughts were very confused, he had discussed for a long time before, and he thought that there was a way to deal with the Yan army and conquer the south.
However, the Vietnamese army was defeated south of Anseong, and Ancheng was again occupied by the Yan army.
Not to mention his plan that was completely broken, he also let Yan Qi have a foothold in the south.
If Yan cavalry continues to break into the south of the Yangtze River, the southern princes will suffer a catastrophe.
Looking at it now, Cai Jun's previous plan to invite Yan Qi into the south was completely to lure wolves into the house and lay hidden dangers for the southern princes, which was as hateful as Zhang Yuting.
Lack of success, more than failure!
"If Emperor Yan wants to gain a foothold in the south, he must expel the other party and the Yan cavalry led by him to the north bank of the Yangtze River, otherwise, there will be no peace in the south!" Xiong Wu said sharply.
After speaking, Xiong Wu was silent for a moment, and said: "Quickly send the imperial order to Han Xiangzi, stop continuing to attack Cai Guo, and hold your troops for the time being, in addition, send someone to Cai Guo to discuss with Cai Jun about expelling Yan Qi, and tell Cai Jun that if you don't agree, the southern army will first level Cai Guo, and then expel Yan Qi!" ”
Thinking about it, Xiong Wu felt that this matter was also closely related to himself, if he had been quick and quick at the beginning, he would directly annex Cai Guo, and not give Cai Guo the opportunity to ask for reinforcements from Dayan, Yan Qi would not have been able to cross the Yangtze River, occupy Ancheng, and gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan.
"Your Majesty, the battle with Cai must be stopped, but in the Northern Expedition, the elite of Great Chu was severely damaged by the Yan army, and this time the Chu army went to the north without too many troops." Han Zhitong asked.
This time, he hoped to take advantage of Emperor Yan's appearance in the south with his troops, re-lead the army, fight against Emperor Yan, and strive to defeat Yan Cai and capture Emperor Yan once and for all.
"General Han, what is your method?" Xiong Wu asked.
Han Zhitong understands the affairs of the battlefield better than himself, although he is not a general of the defeated army, it does not mean that the opponent's military attainments have also been hit hard.
"Emperor Yan appeared in the south, inflicted heavy losses on the Yue army, and annexed the city of Cai, which will definitely cause panic among the southern princes, and the last general suggested that he should strive to unite with the southern princes again, take the lead in blocking the Yangtze River, so that Emperor Yan has no way to go north, and then unite the troops of the southern princely states, chase and fight fiercely in the south, Emperor Yan will be defeated, we will take the opportunity to beat the water dogs, Emperor Yan will have nowhere to escape in the south, and it will be very easy to capture the other party again." Han Zhitong said.
Great Chu is in the south, and it is impossible to block the Yangtze River at all, but it does not mean that the three kingdoms of Wu Yue and Shu have no power to block the Yangtze River.
Han Zhitong wants revenge, so he has to force Lin Feng into a desperate situation in order to wash away the shame imposed on him by the other party and regain his position as a famous general of Great Chu.
"Blockade the Yangtze River, okay, according to General Han's plan, this time, I will personally lead the Xuanjia Army and capture Emperor Yan alive!" Xiong Wu said sharply.
Defeated by Lin Feng many times, Xiong Wu really couldn't sit in the imperial capital with peace of mind, this time, he had to personally lead his troops to the north, and see where Emperor Yan was sacred, so many vassal states were defeated in his hands!
"Your Majesty, don't, Emperor Yan is fierce, the emperor goes north, if an accident happens, the consequences are unpredictable!" When Yue Yunshan heard this, he hurriedly blocked Xiong Wu.
However, Han Zhitong was very supportive and said: "General Yue, the emperor has the old man and the Xuanjia soldiers to protect him personally, if Emperor Yan is defeated, the old man and tens of thousands of Xuanjia soldiers can only apologize for their own crimes!"
On the other hand, the emperor personally went north, which will stimulate the morale of the generals of the three armies, and the Yan cavalry will lose its way back and become a frightened bird, and the Xuanjia army will have a great chance of winning. ”
"General Han is right, there is no need to talk about this matter, this time, I will definitely go north and capture Emperor Yan to vent my hatred." Xiong Wu said in an arrogant tone. "Han Zhitong, the three of you, act according to the previous plan, deal with the vassal states, and prepare for the army to go north."
