In order to prevent cheating, these three candidates were temporarily drawn up by Jia Hui and Han Shushu, before saying these three options, only two people knew, and now, in the face-to-face election, the players don't even have a chance to cheat.

Next, voting began, with about a hundred people voting; From officials from the six ministries to officials from the Shuntian Mansion, they can all participate.

Half an hour later, the position of the Hubu Shangshu was decided, it was Lin Yanghao, there were a total of 120 people, but he got more than 70 votes, which was really expected.

As for the other two, they only had more than 20 votes, which was a bit shabby, but it was definitely not a shame to lose in the hands of Lin Yanghao, and the two of them were not the slightest bit unhappy, in fact, before they started, the two of them already had a guess in their hearts.

"Congratulations to Mr. Yang Hao, I'll wait for you to bow down."

"Concession and concession."

The three of them were polite, but in a blink of an eye, Lin Yanghao frowned again, looked at Jia Hui and said, "Master Jia, I am now teaching the princes to read, this matter." ”

"Mr. Yang Hao don't have to worry, I have already thought about this matter with calligraphy and painting, and during your resignation, Du Yan and Du Ming will serve as two people, both of whom are full of economic talents, and they will never make a mistake."

"Okay, then Weichen obeys."

Lin Yanghao bowed his hand slightly.

The candidate for the Hubu Shangshu has been drawn up, Jia Hui announced the dissolution of the meeting, and then received a letter from Wang Xu, saying that he wanted Sun Yu to go to Bao'an County to help in the war, the two did not hesitate, and immediately told Sun Yu about it, and on the second day, Sun Yu led 200,000 elites to the east, followed by a lot of grain and grass, equipment, especially red-coated cannons, rifles and other weapons, these are the key to determining the victory

Yang Mingyue military camp.

He already knew about Wen Qing's southern expedition. Wen Qing did not attack the imperial capital as originally planned, which made him very disappointed, it was originally a good layout, as long as Wang Xu led his troops to leave Bao'an County, or led most of the troops and horses to leave, he could take the opportunity to occupy all the territory. But now

"This Wen Qing, it's a big deal for me!"

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

At this moment, a scout who was in charge of finding out the news hurriedly ran in: "Prime Minister, Sun Yu is also here." ”

"Sun Yu? How many centaurs did he bring? ”

The scout said: "A few days ago, Sun Yu received an order to lead an army of 200,000 to the east, and it is expected that he will arrive at the front line within three days. ”

"It's 200,000 again, this Wang Xu has made a lot of money. He is determined to win Bao'an County! ”

Yang Mingyue said: "He is determined to win, we are also determined to win, the soldiers are fine but not many, even if he has a million, as soon as my follow-up explosives arrive, we will start attacking." ”

Follow-up explosives?

Yes, it takes thousands of miles to transport supplies from Dongjun to Bao'an County. It will take half a month, since the last defeat. Yang Mingyue asked people to transport it, but so far, it has not arrived, which is really worrying.

"We have to ship every line from the Eastern Capital, and it takes too long, so. During this time, we must take precautions against a surprise attack by the enemy, who now has nearly 300,000 cavalry, and that is our greatest threat. ”

"Prime Minister. So how can we prevent it? ”

Someone asked.

Yang Mingyue said: "If you want to prevent the enemy's cavalry, you can only resist it with deep ditches and high fortifications, from now on, you will start to prepare, starting from the front of my city three hundred miles, digging ditches, building walled walls, ambushing elite soldiers, all artillery echelon configuration, sniping in sections, in order to consume a large number of enemy troops, which is very beneficial to our future decisive battles." ”

"Yes."

Yang Mingyue arranged everything and waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat.

She is very worried now, Wang Xu has a strong army, and there is a base camp behind him, and it is only a matter of a few days to mobilize troops, but what about herself, not to mention mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops, even if it is to transport a grain of rice, it will take half a month.

From this point of view, the east is unfavorable; However, Yang Mingyue was not discouraged, the current Eastern Capital was no longer what it used to be, and he felt that he could fight

At this time, on the boundary of Wu County, there was an earth-shattering battle, Wen Qing led 100,000 elephant soldiers to fight against the 200,000 elites of Gu Li, these 200,000 people originally came to watch the battle, but I didn't expect that it really played a big role, if there were no these 200,000 people, then Wen Qing's elephant soldiers would be driven straight in, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

After a few days of marching, Wen Qing and Wen Xiaoyun came to the first city of Wu County, which was the garrison of Gu Li's army.

Under the city wall, 100,000 elephant soldiers stood solemnly, Wen Qing and Wen Xiaoyun were at least at the forefront.

"Father, do you need to attack the city?"

Wen Qing snorted coldly: "What have you learned in Wuying Hall in the past few years, do you still need to ask me such a simple question?" ”

Wen Xiaoyun was ashamed: "Please also ask my father to teach me." ”

Wen Qing said: "Of course we don't attack, we are here to challenge now, if Naguli dares to go out of the city, we will eat her, if not, then we will continue the southern expedition, he is under pressure, he will definitely come out, and the time comes." ”

"Father is calculating, so my son will send people to beat drums and challenge."

Wen Xiaoyun was overjoyed, he felt that there was no difficulty in going out with his father, and he didn't have to worry about anything, as if he had already won the roll.

Wen Xiaoyun drove his horse forward and came to a few hundred meters in front of the formation: "Listen to the people in the city, I am Wen Xiaoyun, the general of the Holy Dynasty, if you are interested, you will open the city and surrender, otherwise, I will break through the city, and the old and young will not be left." ”

"Wen family child, if you have the courage, you will attack, Lao Tzu is waiting for you here."

Gul roared loudly on the city walls.

"General, should we go out of the city to face the battle?"

"No, didn't you hear him? If you want to come and attack the city, let them attack it, and I have an army of 200,000 in my city, so why fear him? ”

The adjutant general didn't say anything, but she felt that the enemy would not attack the city, the reason was very simple, first, the enemy was all elephant soldiers, and there were no heavy weapons to attack the city, how to attack? Second, everyone knows that there are 200,000 people in the city, and with the number of 100,000 people to attack the other party's 200,000 defenders, is this possible, the adjutant general shook his head, he felt that this was just a big word from the enemy.

It's just a pity that even a deputy general can figure out the problem, but as the commander of the three armies, General Hu Guoda's Gu Li doesn't understand, he still naively thinks that the enemy army under the city will attack the city, and then he will consume the enemy's troops, and he wants to get it is beautiful, but it will never be.

Who is Wen Qing, how could he do such a thing?

Sure enough, after Wen Xiaoyun continued to shout for half an hour, he suddenly waved his hand, and all the elephant soldiers retreated.

Seeing this, Gu Li frowned in surprise: "Why did they leave?" (To be continued.) )
