Western capital.

Zhang Meng took Lin Yanghao, who had just returned, to Wang Xu's study.

"Lord, Mr. Lin is here."

"Well, let him in."

Lin Yanghao was dressed in the official mansion of the Qing Dynasty, with a red jewel on his head, a big red pearl, and a hat feather, which are all the attire of officials in the Western Capital now.

"See King Wen."

Wang Xu stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, don't be so polite, please sit down." ”

The two sat down opposite each other, and Wang Xu went straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, don't say anything superfluous, this time I will recruit you back, it is a particularly important thing for you to do, I hope you don't postpone it." ”

"My lord commands." Lin Yanghao said.

Wang Xu smiled and said: "Actually, your task is very simple, that is, to teach Xi'er and Zhen'er to read, this is the biggest thing in our Western Capital now, the Military Aircraft Department, the officials of the Sixth Department, and Han calligraphy and painting are all trying their best to recommend you, saying that only you can do this thing." ”

As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Lin Yanghao was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he had such a high status in the hearts of officials in the Western Capital, and his impression was so good, but he was a little surprised.

"Humble duty will definitely complete the task."

Lin Yanghao also knew that he had a heavy responsibility and shouldered the future of the Western Capital, so he immediately said solemnly.

Wang Xu said: "Wenyuan Pavilion has sorted out all the teaching materials, all of them are placed in Wenyuan Pavilion, you can go and see it later, and in the future, I will teach Zhen'er and others in Wenyuan Pavilion, as for how many lessons a day and how to teach, I will leave it to you." ”

"Yes."

At this time, Zhang Meng rushed over: "Lord, the military situation on the front line has arrived." ”

"Oh, bring it quickly."

As he spoke, Wang Xu waved his hand and asked Lin Yanghao to step back first.

Waiting for Lin Yanghao to walk out of the study, Wang Xu took over the music from Zhang Meng's hand.

Now the music has changed from bamboo slips to new paper of King Wen, which is yellow in color and extremely solemn.

The chapter was written by Sun Yu himself, and it briefly depicted the battle in Bao'an County a few days ago.

First of all. Zhu Aoqing and Yuan Yunlie, the generals of the Northern Army, each led 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack the left and right camps of the imperial court, and attacked for three hours, but it was extremely unsuccessful. In particular, Zhu Aoqing's 200,000 people were ambushed by the enemy and were almost wiped out, but they persevered.

And Yuan Yunlie's 200,000 men attacked the enemy's right flank. He had 100,000 elite iron cavalry under his command, and the attack was relatively smooth, although he was also ambushed, but he turned defeat into victory in time, and entered a stalemate with the enemy.

In this way, the two armies fought for a whole day!

On the second day, the enemy's middle camp still had no intention of reinforcing the left and right armies, and Cai Wenzhuo finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered a general attack.

Sun Yu personally led 350,000 troops to raid the enemy's main camp, period. also encountered an ambush, however, Sun Yu was also very brave, coupled with the tens of thousands of iron horses in his hands, as well as heavy horses, Lei Yan's elite, etc., a bloody battle lasted until two days later, and the imperial court soldiers and horses were finally defeated.

So. From the day the war began, a total of three days and three nights were fought, and in the end, the Western Capital Army and the Northern Army won a crushing victory. And the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, defeated like a mountain, retreated to the back of the defense line.

The Northern Army was victorious, but no one was happy, and the dignified army of 700,000 became 500,000. In between, 200,000 died!

It has to be said that the casualties were too serious.

And the imperial court, it is even more miserable, there were 600,000, but now all of them have been dispersed, and now, those troops are fleeing to the hinterland of the imperial court.

According to rough estimates, there were no less than 300,000 dead and wounded. Those who can gather together are less than 300,000, and at most 250,000 are fixed in heaven, and they are all demoralized.

However, although the imperial court was defeated, it was still very strong, Yang Mingyue arranged an army of 400,000 troops in the northern defense line of Bao'an County, and these four thousand people had only one task, that is, to prevent the Western Capital Army and the Northern Army from continuing to attack and kill, and to ensure the smooth relocation of the imperial court.

It also said that the Northern Army and the Western Capital Army were reorganizing their troops and horses, and they would continue to advance and approach the imperial court, but because the imperial court was blocked by 400,000 elites in front, the next battle was dangerous and unpredictable.

Sun Yu asked for instructions, how to deal with it, and do you still need to insist on attacking?

Wang Xu took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Meng and said: "Tell Sun Yu to proceed according to the original plan, launch a fierce attack on the imperial army at all costs, even if the troops are finished, we must attack, and let the imperial court in the imperial capital know that we will not capture Bao'an County and will not give up." ”

"In addition, tell Zhao Long on the Yangtze River that the attack is more fierce, don't be afraid of losses, and it is best to capture part of the enemy's camp!"

Wang Xu said: "You go down first, go and call Ye Xiong." ”

"No."

.......

Ye Xiong had already returned to the Western Capital two months ago.

"My lord."

Wang Xu said: "Give you an important task"

"Mobilize the Jinyi Guard of the imperial capital, create public opinion, and exaggerate the war in Bao'an County, so that the enemy knows that our western capital will win, and the imperial court is about to be defeated!"

"Anyway, there are all kinds of public opinion, for example, the Western Capital will do its best again, or there are officials who surrender to the Western Capital, and the Western Capital will all accept it and reuse it."

.........

After Wang Xu finished speaking, Ye Xiong clenched his fists slightly: "No." In fact, he is already doing this, but the movement is not very big, and he doesn't dare to make a big fuss about it without getting Wang Xu's clear things, but now it's okay, with Wang Xu's direct gaze, he can let go of his hands and feet and do a big job.

Jinyiwei is a master in this regard, as long as he disguises himself as a common man and uses a little publicity, it will be spread ten, ten by hundred, and by hundreds, it will be like a fire that spreads to the entire imperial capital.

..........

Ten days later.

Imperial capital.

Inside the Four Seas Restaurant.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen people dressed as ordinary people drinking tea there, and everyone chatted casually while drinking.

"Hey, have you heard, the imperial army has been defeated again."

"Why don't you know, I heard that our generals have been beheaded, and the 600,000 army is vulnerable."

"Yes, the Western Capital Army and the Northern Army are too powerful, I won't be able to see it for long, and the imperial capital will also fall."

"Isn't it better, I heard that King Wen is benevolent and virtuous, and the people will have a good life in the future."

......

At the same time, in all corners of the imperial capital, there are people talking about this, and some of them are even more realistic than this, as if the Western Capital Army is about to fight here.

These news reached Yang Mingyue's ears on the same day, and in this regard, he also knew that the West was doing ghosts, which was actually a kind of spiritual attack, which made the imperial court soldiers and horses afraid from the bottom of their hearts, but Yang Mingyue thought about it carefully, in fact, what people said was not wrong, the imperial army was really defeated, and it was defeated very badly!

If you lose again, then you will really hit the imperial capital next, and you won't even have a chance to retreat.

"The prime minister is going to meet His Majesty, and he must move the capital!" Yang Mingyue made up his mind and walked towards the palace in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
