"Yingzhou won a crushing victory." Ye Yingwu looked at the information in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind him, Lu Wanyan took the coat and put it on him, and said with a smile: "Win?" β
Ye Yingwu nodded: "It's off to a good start, it's not bad." It's a pity that the Yingzhou Navy Division was almost wiped out, and Fan Tianshun was seriously injured. Without Fan Tianshun in the middle of the mediation at this time, Yang Bao and Wang Jin will definitely not accept anyone, plus Wang Lixin and Wang Xianggong inserted a kick into it, and they are not worried about being broken by the Mongolian Tatars now, but they are worried that they will have contradictions and hesitate, and then delay the military aircraft, and then it will be troublesome. β
"You just don't think about anything good." Lu Wanyan couldn't help but sneer, "When you went north yesterday, weren't you worried that you wouldn't be able to win, what about now, you didn't slap yourself in the face." No matter how bad the two generals Wang Jin and Yang Bao are, after all, it is you Ye Zhijun who promoted him to Weimo, and he should be a person who understands the general situation, and he will not be dirty at this juncture. β
Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly: "I am not worried about these two guys, but that Wang Lixin suddenly appeared, the pacification envoy of Hunan, the governor of Ezhou, even if a certain person is there, he has to give up three points, Wang Lixin knows something, and he will definitely not be ignorant, but it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates will not want to seize power." In any case, this is what you say, and you don't need to worry about it. β
Qiqin gently walked up to tie Ye Yingwu's belt, and couldn't help but whisper: "My husband has said this, since my concubine sister is a member of the Ye family, she should share her husband's worries." β
"It's good, it's okay if it's wrong." Ye Yingwu raised his hand in surrender without hesitation, and the smile on his face was even closer to flattery, "Everything is decided by a few ladies, okay?" β
"My husband doesn't have a positive shape every day, if outsiders see Ye Yuanjun like this, I'm afraid I don't know whether it's sad or laughing." Lu Wanyan then said angrily. For her husband, she always doesn't look like the head of the family in front of several sisters, although Lu Wanyan knows that this is Ye Yingwu's love for them, but she also has to fulfill her duties as an eldest wife to remind her.
Yang Xu sat up from the bed behind him a little lazily, and said with a smile: "And you look at him like that." I'm afraid that even those traitors who grovel before the Mongol Tartars do not have such funny and flattering expressions. β
Ye Yingwu couldn't help but roll his eyes suddenly: "Su Niang, why do you dismantle a certain platform at every turn, is it that you didn't clean up enough last night, and you still have the heart to provoke so-and-so." β
Yang Xu's face turned pale suddenly. Hurriedly shrunk into the futon: "What do you always do in the morningγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Su Niang is shy," Lu Wanyan laughed softly, and walked to the bedside, "Come, let my sister see what her husband did to Su Niang yesterday, and let Su Niang get up this morning like a little resentful woman, if he bullies you, the sisters will definitely not let him go." β
Yang Xu even shrank subconsciously, resolutely refusing to poke his head out, in exchange for Ye Yingwu and the others laughing. In the end, Qiqin, who has always been serious, whispered: "It's not Su Niang who dismantles the stage." It's that the husband doesn't have a straight shape in the first place. β
"In this back house, you still have to be in shape, wouldn't that kill so-and-so!" Ye Yingwu suddenly called Tianqu and said bitterly, pretending to be a three-point look, but more should still be triumphant. There is a certain boss in this back house, and if you want to do something, who has an opinion, it is all through the family law.
Before Ye Yingwu's voice fell, a maidservant hurriedly walked over: "Qi Xianggong, outside Xianggong Wen and Lu Xianggong ask to see." β
Messire? Ye Yingwu looked at Lu Wanyan beside him with some suspicion, and Lu Wanyan couldn't help but smile lightly: "Fujun is now the deputy envoy of the system along the river, the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army, and the governor of Xingzhou, how can he not be a 'Xianggong'." Even Wen and Lu also have this qualification. The husband used to call 'Lang Jun', and the concubine didn't say anything for the time being, but now after all, it is not against etiquette to enter and exit. The concubine ordered the change without authorization, and hoped that the husband would not be surprised. β
Xiang Gong is Xiang Gong, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly, maybe it was just because of his views in his previous life that he always thought that Xiang Gong should be the exclusive title of "husband", but in this Song Dynasty, it was difficult to accept the shouts of a group of men every day.
But now it's still a matter of following the locals. After all, in this era, being able to be called a "Xianggong" is also a person with a certain status in society, and Ye Yingwu does not mean to be modest in this.
Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu came at this time, and it was also about the battle in Yingzhou in the north, Ye Yingwu nodded lightly: "Wanniang, Qin'er, you are here now, go out and say a few words to Song Rui and them." β
Lu Wanyan finally straightened his collar for him: "Well, there is no need to worry about the husband. β
Ye Yingwu smiled and went straight out.
ββββββββββββ
"Without the Tianwu Army to pick you up, do you think you have the ability to stand in this place?" A Tianwu army leader couldn't help but sneer and said, these people want to rely on their high status to be strong, but they don't look at it, when did our Tianwu army suffer this loss!
Wang Jin didn't speak in a hurry, but glanced at Tang Zhen beside him, this Yang Bao is worthy of being a veteran oil, he didn't open his mouth, but let his subordinates first test what Wang Lixin thought, and then calmly decide, compared with what Yang Bao did, Wang Jin just wanted to open his mouth to refute but fell behind.
The meaning of this Dutou is very simple and clear, and the meaning behind it is also easy to figure out, our two generals in the Tianwu Army who are equal to your commander have no intention of talking to you on an equal footing, to put it simply, they look down on you!
Strength speaks, what can you do!
Seeing that several heads of the Tianwu Army pressed their swords in their hands, eager to try, several commanders on the side of the Ezhou garrison, Yu Hou and Du Tou couldn't help it, maybe you are stronger, but you can score an official position wherever you go, isn't it? I don't know how high my official position is higher than the two of you, and now you dare to run rampant here, it's really lawless.
Seeing that the generals on both sides leaned forward slightly, there was a big disagreement with the meaning of drawing swords, Wang Lixin was suddenly at a loss, and there was no other way at the moment, so he could only cough lightly: "Although the Tianwu Army and my Ezhou garrison soldiers are not affiliated with each other, the Great Song Dynasty has been since the founding of the country. Commanders are judged by their official positions and humility. Regardless of who should coordinate it, this official has to ask, General Yang and General Wang, are they a little indulgent to your subordinates? β
Wang Lixin's opening was clearly to protect his sons. Of course, there is no way, because his ability to control the soldiers stationed in Ezhou is not very strong, and this time he took advantage of the melee to gather a lot of military hearts, so the only way he can take now is to offend these Tianwu army generals who have nothing to do with him, so as to achieve the meaning of winning the hearts of his subordinates. The hardships here are really not enough for outsiders.
As long as there is another choice, Wang Lixin will never risk offending Ye Yingwu and Ye Envoy, and use his official position to suppress Yang Bao and Wang Jin here.
Yang Bao glanced at him in some surprise, obviously Rao is Yang Bao didn't expect Wang Lixin to jump out like this and didn't care about the feelings of the Tianwu Army at all, but since Wang Lixin had already done it, the brothers would follow the same.
Before Yang Bao could speak, the generals in the left wing of the Tianwu Army on one side had already heard their voices, but it was not the left wing that commanded Wang Jin, but the left wing was waiting for Tang Zhen. Du Yuhou, who could still see three points of the original scholarly temperament on his body, slowly spoke:
Wang Xianggong's words are wrong. Although the Great Song Dynasty had an ancestral system, the battlefield was superior to the inferior by official position. However, time has passed, the Great Song Dynasty and the northern Tatars have been fighting for a hundred years, and many rules have changed imperceptibly. You must know that this Mongolian Tatar will not reason with Wang Xianggong. What's more, Wang Xianggong had heard of the battle of Macheng before, and what my family envoy did should be worthy of the mainstay, as for General Fan Wenhu Fan. Wang Xianggong, don't forget. Wang Xianggong can't afford such sinners. β
Tang Zhen said it in a bit of a smug manner, and several people with poor culture were already scratching their heads when they heard it. However, there are no side references and allusions in this, and what is used is just an example of Ye Yingwu's previous battle of Macheng.
But this example carries enough weight. At that time, Ye Yingwu only scolded Fan Wenhu who refused to send troops, and made Fan Wenhu stammered for a while on the grounds of "not subordinate to each other, what do you do", and finally there was a great victory in Macheng.
Maybe others don't know that Wang Lixin is the pacification envoy of Hunan and the governor of Ezhou. Even if it is a Great Song Dynasty official near the front line, this matter is still very clear, and even in Ezhou, many officials of the neutral faction or Jiang Wanli's faction openly and secretly used this matter to satirize Fan Wenhu, the deputy envoy of the Yangtze River system in Ezhou, so that Lord Fan could not step down several times.
Tang Zhen didn't say anything when he said goodbye, but at this time, he just picked up this past incident and emphasized it, which was to explain to Wang Lixin that the Tianwu Army has always been self-contained, and you don't have the ability to command the Tianwu Army, so stay where it is cool!
Wang Lixin couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really underestimated this group of generals of the Tianwu Army, in the end, the Tianwu Army, from Macheng to Guangzhou, almost the people who followed Ye Yingwu in the bloody battle against Macheng have changed, and the Tianwu Army has also grown from more than 2,000 people at the beginning to tens of thousands now. These soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy and scream are not just reckless men who can charge into battle.
They have their own blood and reason, and they will give in when they should give in, and fight every inch when they should not give in.
If only I could have a team like this at any time, I would be thankful. Wang Lixin kept sighing in his heart, and he forgot that he was actually in the camp tent, and he was seizing power with the smiling generals of the Tianwu Army opposite!
He didn't jump out, but let Tang Zhen jump out, Wang Jin, a kid, even learned so-and-so, and it was really not bad. Yang Bao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, let Tang Zhen come out, not only to show the position of the Tianwu Army, but also not to attract criticism for himself who represents the image of the left wing of the Tianwu Army, when will Wang Jin this kid also play tricks.
In the final analysis, Ye Yingwu, the boss, always looks like a treacherous and cunning, what kind of people bring out what kind of soldiers, this sentence is not false.
The two groups of people looked at each other like this, and no one seemed to be convinced, until a soldier ran into the camp tent with an anxious look on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, go and take a look, the fight has started, and the people who are picking up armor and horses outside are fighting!" β
As if realizing that the atmosphere in the tent was quite wrong, the soldier stepped back a little timidly, not daring to say anything more.
"There was a fight. Who and whom? Wang Li secretly said lucky in confidence.
"It's the group of γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» of the Tianwu Army" Seeing a group of Tianwu Army generals looking at each other coldly, the soldier suddenly shrunk his neck, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "It's all of us." Now that the outside has opened up, if a few ministers don't go over, I'm afraid someone will die. β
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Jin and Yang Bao's mouth, fighting, fighting is good. The Tianwu Army's group fight has not yet reached the point of suffering, as long as you are subdued, you Wang Lixin will have to be obedient if you are disobedient!
And Wang Lixin, who knew his own details, and many of the generals stationed in Ezhou looked at this side a little anxiously. Yang Bao closed his eyes slightly, Wang Jin looked at the top of the tent, and Tang Zhen silently turned sideways behind Wang Jin, with an expression that everything that should be said had been said and that there was nothing to do with me now.
Wang Lixin couldn't help but have a white face, and after all, he had to swallow his anger and arch his hand at Yang Bao and Wang Jin: "The two generals are both brothers side by side under the banner of Song Zichi, and they can say anything well." As to who will coordinate the various routes, it will be carefully discussed. The top priority at the moment is not to let the soldiers on both sides fight, if this matter becomes bigger, I am afraid that there will be a gap between each other, and it will be difficult to fight the enemy side by side, which will inevitably make the Mongolian Tatars see a joke. β
Now that Wang Lixin has softened and moved out the top priority of Mongolian tartars, Wang Jin and Yang Bao don't dare to carry it, after all, if Ye Yingwu knows, they will not have to be scolded with blood. In terms of fighting the Mongols side by side, Ye Yingwu was the most resolute.
Yang Bao finally opened his mouth and smiled: "Okay, Wang Xianggong, I'll go out and have a look soon." Don't let anything happen, you and I will not be able to explain it to the soldiers at that time. β
Yang Bao took a step back, Wang Lixin breathed a sigh of relief, and the generals under his command hurriedly lifted the curtain of the camp tent and walked out.
ββββββββββ
"Envoy." Ye Yingwu walked out, and Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu hurriedly stood up.
Ye Yingwu nodded: "There's no need to be so polite, but what's the matter?" β
Wen Tianxiang hurriedly said: "Enlighten the envoy." Indeed, there were a few things to report to the envoy. The most important thing is the battle of Yingzhou, and I already know about it. The Mongolian Tatars have already reacted to this, and so on just received the news. β
"Youtu!" Ye Yingwu said loudly, Xiao Yangzi is working hard, and he quickly ran over to unfold the map.
Wen Tianxiang stepped forward and lightly tapped on the Suizhou and Guanghua armies respectively: "The Mongolian 150,000 troops are divided into two routes, and today they have crossed the Hanshui ice on the north side of Suizhou and the south side of the Guanghua army, and there are a large number of grain carts and baggage, but there is no intention of attacking in Xiangyang City, and General Fancheng Niu led a small number of foot cavalry to test and was repelled by the Mongol Tatars. β
"There are few people in Fancheng, and Niu Fu can have the courage to go out of the city, so he is already very bold." Ye Yingwu nodded, since it is to transfer grain and grass and baggage, the Mongolian Tartars are naturally heavily guarded by foot riders, relying on the soldiers in Fancheng, it is really impossible to break through the defense of the Mongolian infantry cavalry, "Ah Shu is so bold this time, this is to put all the bets on it, if it is defeated, Xiangyang will become a lonely city by itself, if it is defeated, but everything is gone." β
Lu Xiufu on the side couldn't help but shake his head: "This is not Ashu's consistent style, every time Ashu goes south or sends scouts, it has never been so powerful." β
Ye Yingwu frowned slightly: "It's not difficult to understand, because what he wants to spy on now has already been discovered, what is the combat strength of the Tianwu Army, how is the combat strength of the soldiers stationed in Ezhou, and what is the defenders of Xiangyang and Fancheng, I'm afraid that now Ah Shu knows more comprehensively than Mou, Wang Lixin and the Lu family brothers, and for him, the news that he paid before is what he needs the most." Don't underestimate Ah Shu, this is not a simple person. β
"Maybe Huainan Li Anfu and the envoy are the same judgment, the Huainan troops have already turned back halfway, a total of 60,000 water and land foot horses, the speed of the advance is beyond expectations, it is estimated that within three to four days, the forward can be sent to the north bank of the Han River with the help of the naval warship." Wen Tianxiang said with a wry smile, "This Xiangyang is such a big cup, everyone wants to take a bite." β
Lu Xiufu said softly: "For Ah Shu, if Li Tingzhi leads the reinforcements to arrive, I am afraid it will be irretrievable, even if Xiangyang is conquered by then, 60,000 elite Huainan soldiers who have fought for a long time are enough to block the north bank of the Han River, so that they can sit in Xiangyang and it will be difficult to advance and retreat." β
After pondering for a long time, Ye Yingwu said: "What I am worried about is that with Ah Shu's prudence, he can make up his mind to advance the 150,000 army to the south bank of the Han River, and he did not come in vain. This at least shows that it is not too risky for him, that is to say, γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Ah Shu is confident that he will defeat the defenders of Xiangyang." Wen Tianxiang looked at the north of the two Mongolian armies, and Xiangyang stood impressively.
Lu Xiufu took a breath of cool air lightly: "This Ah Shu has a big appetite. β
"I'm interested now, but it's how Ah Shu wants to lure out the two guys of the Lu family brothers hiding in the turtle shell, if there is Xiangyang Jiancheng, even if it is an army of 150,000, if you want to forcibly conquer it overnight, you can't help but laugh at it." Ye Yingwu said softly, "The way I can think of is to attack the north from the south." β
"Sonnan?" Lu Xiufu hurriedly looked.
To the south of Xiangyang, except for Yingzhou, there is no other state capital worthy of Ashu!
"Or maybe it's the γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»sound of the north hitting the south," Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it's really difficult to figure out what this Ah Shu is doing now." If only it were a roundworm in his stomach. β
Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu couldn't help but smile, but there was bitterness and helplessness in this laughter.
"Anything else?" Ye Yingwu asked suddenly.
Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Well, also, that little lady Huang has arrived in Xingzhou, when does the envoy want to see her?" (To be continued.) )
