Chapter 410: Yecheng, the storm is coming!
Yecheng.
On this day, at noon, the sky was overcast, and at the top of the sky, there was a thick dark cloud covering the sun's rays that should have appeared, and the dark clouds seemed to be brewing rain that was about to fall at any time.
Next to the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He put down the file in his hand, stood up, and walked out of the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, standing in the corridor, looking up, and looking at the cloudy sky.
"Dark clouds cover the top, it's not a good sign!"
The ancients were all superstitious, even if the wisdom was outstanding, when they were upset, in the face of bad phenomena in heaven and earth, some thought it was an omen.
"The king drove his own expedition to Yan Kingdom, Yuan Hao was by his side, Ju Yi, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were all tiger generals in the world, and there should be no problem in dealing with a down-and-out Gongsun Zhan, but why is there still some uneasiness in the heart of a certain family?"
Frustrated with a deep breath, he forced himself to be quiet, but he always felt as if he was missing something?
But I can't remember.
Only when the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Yan Kingdom in the north and seized Youzhou, did it worry about the future and go south with all its strength to dominate the world, so the battle of Youzhou was very important.
For this battle, he and Tian Feng calculated for Yuan Shao hundreds of times, and everything was very meticulous, hoping that there would be no mistakes.
Because, in this battle, the Jin Kingdom could not afford to lose.
But now, he felt a stormy breath lingering in the sky above Yecheng, which made him feel very uneasy.
"Prime Minister, Lord Xu asks to see!" At this time, a personal guard from the Prime Minister's Mansion came over and whispered to him.
"Let him in!"
Frustrated. Squinting, a sharp light crossed his eyes.
Xu You, one of the veteran strategists recruited by Yuan Shao, is now also a high-level figure in the Jin Kingdom, if you count the seniority is older than him and Tian Feng.
This man was a well-read poet and a man of extraordinary wisdom. I still have talents, but I am not good-minded, some are jealous, some are stingy, and sometimes I can't even tell the importance of things.
However, Yuan Shao always trusted him very much, and even handed over the intelligence organization of the Jin State to him, and he controlled the entire Jin State's information network.
"Meet the Prime Minister!"
At this moment, Xu You's expression was obviously not quite right, and his steps seemed a little hurried. Under the leadership of the guards, he walked in, looking at the giant beast in the corridor, although his eyes were a little impatient, but he still hurriedly bowed.
In the Jin Kingdom, except for Yuan Shao, the only thing that can make him surrender is frustration, even Tian Feng. He was also a little unconvinced, Guo Tu. Judging the like, he doesn't pay attention to it.
"Brother Ziyuan, don't be polite!"
Looking at Xu You's anxious appearance, he felt uneasy in his heart, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "You are so anxious." Is there any bad news? ”
"Hmm!"
Xu You nodded, his face was bitter, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, and he arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister, my subordinates are not doing things well." Ying Yangwei originally wanted to rebel against the important leaders of the Montenegrin army, and then let them kill each other, but Zhang Yan saw through, and now Tao Sheng, who was rebelled by Ying Yangwei, has been killed, and the Montenegrin army is angry, Zhang Yan is angry, and has led his troops to attack Zhongshan, and now he has captured several counties in Zhongshan. ”
"What?"
When he heard this, his face changed greatly, his whole body trembled suddenly, and his pupils involuntarily contracted a little, he understood why he was so uneasy.
The Black Mountain Army, this wild wolf that can't be fed well or well-fed, after all, still takes advantage of the emptiness of the Jin Kingdom and wants to come out and stir up the situation of the Jin Kingdom.
"Ziyuan, you tell me in detail!" Fu Zhi took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at Xu Yu with a dead gaze, and said coldly.
"No!"
Xu You was a little stubborn at this time, nodded, and then told him in detail about his plan to use Tao Sheng and rebel against Zhang Yan's guards to kill Zhang Yan and control the Yellow Turban of Black Mountain.
"You're confused!"
After hearing this, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and glanced at Xu Yu with a gloomy gaze, and said, "Ziyuan, if Zhang Yan is so easy to deal with, will we still use encirclement and suppression for so many years?" Your plan is very good, but you don't want to see what time it is, is it appropriate for us to entangle with the Montenegrin army at this time? It's good to become, but now that it has failed, it will inevitably anger Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan will send troops, and it will naturally spoil the king's Northern Expedition, how can you be good? ”
"Prime Minister, just a little Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin Army is a group of reckless men who don't know how to fight, and even the weapons are messy, even if the troops are dispatched, don't we still have General Zhang Jaw in Jizhou, he took down the Zhongshan Kingdom, and it shouldn't be able to hurt the king's affairs!"
When Xu You heard this, his whole body trembled, his face was a little frightened, and he hurriedly said.
For the battle of Youzhou, before and after, how much did they spend, but now if he breaks this battle because of him, maybe Yuan Shao will clean him up.
"Hmph, although Zhang Yan is just a yellow turban thief, but this person is extraordinary, and now there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses under his command, if you grit your teeth, it is not impossible to gather 100,000 troops, or even pull out hundreds of thousands of young people, if it is usual, we are looking forward to him being able to fight, but now our Jizhou is a little empty."
There was a sharp light in his eyes, and he said coldly: "If he just sends troops to take Zhongshan Kingdom, why don't we give him Zhongshan Kingdom, as long as the battle of Youzhou is won, we can slowly clean him up, but I am afraid that he is not greedy enough, if he sends troops south regardless of Qiqi, Yecheng will be in danger." ”
"Ye Cheng, how dare he? Prime Minister, why don't you go and negotiate with him in person, no matter what, let's talk about it first! ”
Xu You trembled a little, gritted his teeth, and said helplessly.
"Prime Minister!"
At this time, a personal guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion outside hurriedly walked in, knelt down on one knee, presented a secret letter with both hands, and said: "This is an urgent letter of 800 miles sent by Chen Guoxiang of Zhongshan Kingdom. ”
"Bring it on!"
"No!"
Frustrated with the secret letter. Three or two directly disassembled, and when he saw it, his pupils contracted involuntarily, his face was a little pale, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Damn." If you are really worried about something, you will come, Chen Bo said, Zhang Yan only took a few cities around Montenegro, and did not capture Zhongshan Kingdom, but he personally led 50,000 cavalry, all the way south, no one could stop him, and he obviously came towards Yecheng! ”
"He's so bold!"
Xu Yu heard this. His face was like ashes, and he hurriedly said: "Now that the king is in Youzhou, in less than a month, he will be able to take Jicheng, if there is a fire in the backyard, it will inevitably be wasted, and Yecheng cannot be lost, Prime Minister." Please take the idea. ”
"Something is wrong!"
The more this time, the more calm it is. Frustrated and forced himself to calm down, his mind thought about it for a while, and he keenly felt that something was wrong, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Yan, we are not a little to deal with, he is not such an impulsive person." Yecheng City has thick walls and abundant food reserves, even now, there are still 20,000 elite soldiers guarding it, and his soldiers and horses can't be defeated at all. But why risk heading south? ”
"Prime Minister, I can't think so much now, if he is allowed to enter Wei County, the soldiers will come to Yecheng, and the prestige of the Jin Kingdom will be burned!" Xu Yu gave up his hand.
"Someone!"
Hearing this, he nodded and shouted.
"In!"
"You immediately took the token of the Prime Minister's Mansion, went north to Hejian, and ordered General Zhangjaw to lead the soldiers and horses of Hejian to the south!"
Even if he finds that there is something wrong with this, he doesn't have time to think too much, Yecheng is the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and Yecheng does not need to be breached, as long as Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are in the city, the Jin Kingdom will lose face.
In this expedition to Yan State, most of the generals and troops used by the Jin State were used, but the generals Gao Ran and Zhang Jaw who also stayed behind to guard the family, Zhang Jaw had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in the river.
Originally, it was intended to be a reserve army for this battle, but now it can only be defended back and block the Montenegrin army.
"No!"
A few heralds took the token and moved quickly.
"Ziyuan, there is always a feeling that this matter is not just a robbery by the Montenegrin Army!"
Frustrated with some uneasiness in his heart, he raised his head, looked at the cloudy sky, narrowed a cold glint in his eyes, and muttered: "Although Zhang Yan has some talents, he is still a martial artist, and it is not difficult to deal with, but ......"
"What does the prime minister mean, there are forces from other vassal states involved, is it Wu, Wei, or Chu?" When Xu You heard this, he instantly understood the meaning of frustration, and his face changed in shock.
"At this point, I should ask you, isn't there any news from your eagle Yangwei?" Frustrated Professor looked at Xu Yu and said in a deep voice.
"The subordinates are incompetent!"
Xu You shook his head, smiled a little bitterly on his face, and said ashamedly: "Now the power of Ying Yangwei is still not in place to control the country. ”
The ghost pawn of Wei and the Jin Yiwei of Wu are now famous all over the world, Yuan Shao painted a cat according to the tiger, and made an eagle Yangwei, but it is just an empty shelf, and now it can only pave Wei County and Yecheng, and other places are too weak, not to mention that the tentacles extend to other vassal states.
"Alas!"
He sighed and shook his head, he also knew that the Ying Yangwei of the Jin State was not as good as the two major intelligence organizations of the Wu State and the Wei State at all, and it was impossible to get material from them.
"It looks like the storm is coming!"
He looked at the dark clouds in the sky and lowered it, his eyes had a cold glow, and he said in a low voice: "I just don't know if this is a spring rain or a violent storm?" ”
――――――――――
At this time, in an ordinary courtyard in Yecheng.
Li Nie also put his hands behind his back, raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and outlined a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Yecheng, Jin Kingdom, this storm, the wind is strong, the rain is heavy, I don't know if you can bear it!" ”
"The Grand Duke!"
At this time, a young man was shrouded in a hat, and quietly appeared behind Li Nie, bowing and saluting.
"Any news?"
Li Nie turned his head, looked at the young man, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked.
"Nope!"
The young man shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The power of the Eagle Yangwei that has been used has basically swept through Yecheng, but there is still no one who has dug up the ghost pawn, let alone Jia Xu, could it be that he is not here at all!" ”
"No, we know each other too well, as long as we stay in a city, we can smell each other's smells, and I'm sure this person must have come to Yecheng!"
Li Ne squinted his eyes, a firm light flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "This person is very vigilant, our plan can satisfy the Jin Kingdom, but it may not be able to keep him busy, no matter what, we must not let him disrupt our plan, before that, find him, it is best to use Ying Yangwei's hand to kill him!" ”
"My subordinates will do their best!"
The young man in the hat nodded.
――――――――――――
In the east of Yecheng.
In a dark room, Jia Xu was wearing a black Confucian robe, wearing a scarf, and the light in his eyes was shining, and he also looked at the dark clouds.
"Grand Commander."
Several black-clothed men stood behind Jia Xu, one of them had a thin face, a young man about thirty years old, arched his hand, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates have a report, these days, the Ying Yangwei of the Jin Kingdom doesn't know why, as if he is crazy, looking for the traces of our ghost pawns everywhere, and has already eliminated several of our strongholds!" ”
"Hehe, it's not Ying Yangwei, it's Jinyiwei!"
The corners of Jia Xu's mouth outlined a sneer, and said lightly.
"Jin Yiwei?"
When several people in the house heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and they gasped.
Jinyi Wei can use the power of Eagle Yangwei, and it obviously has a deep foundation in Yecheng.
"Jinyiwei is here, the foundation is deeper than ours, Li Nie should come to Yecheng, he is commanding in secret, it is not trivial, you have to be careful in and out these days, understand?" Jia Xu said.
"No!"
Several people looked solemn and nodded.
"There's news from Montenegro!"
Jia Xu turned around, looked at a few people, and asked lightly.
"Great Commander, Zhang Yan has already gone south with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
An elegant middle-aged man stood up and arched his hand: "But it's a very strange thing, the entire Black Mountain Yellow Turban has moved, the Shangdang Black Mountain Yellow Turban, Zhao Jun, and Changshan are all in a hurry to move to Black Mountain!" ”
"All moving?"
When Jia Xu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and asked.
"That's right!" The elegant middle-aged nodded.
"Huh!"
Jia Xu sneered, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, his eyes had a touch of coldness, and he muttered: "So that's the case, but Li Nie, your appetite is really big, if you die, don't blame so." ”
"What does the Grand Commander mean?" A few people didn't understand.
"Map!"
Jia Xu let out a low sigh.
"In!" A few people quickly spread out a simple map.
"A few of you, quickly check these places for me to see if there is any trace of the Montenegrin Army, and then send someone to the coast to see if there is any trace of the Wu Navy!" Jia Xu was resolute and said in a low voice.
"No!" Everyone looked at each other and nodded immediately.
"Bai Li."
"In!"
"I want to see Xu You!"
"Yes!"
There was a touch of coldness at the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, looking at the sky, and said lightly: "Li Ne, you are winning a certain chip in Xudu, and today you will let you be in Jizhou and plant a heel." (To be continued......)
