Chapter 236: The Spring Breeze Doesn't Cross the Han Dynasty (Part II)
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support and a large number of precious materials for the support of Wu Huaxia!
Ye Yingwu laughed, but Niu Fu couldn't help but shiver fiercely.
This young man in front of him is scheming! This is to make Lu Wenhuan fall into a catastrophe!
And Wang Jin and the others were silent, they suddenly realized that they had thought of Ye Yuanjun too simply, and they could build such a foundation with their own strength, how could they be simple people, maybe in front of them, Ye Yingwu was still the one who was happy and vengeful in Lin'an that day, but in front of Lu Wenhuan, these enemies on the surface and in secret, Ye Yingwu had already shown a ruthlessness that they had never seen.
If you are wrong, you will be wrong, but you want to put Lu Wenhuan to death. You have to know what identities Tianwujun and Ye Yingwu are now? With the operation of the six doors and the Jinyi Guard, the people of the north and south of the river and the people of the world, who didn't know that Ye Yingwu led the Tianwu Army to win the Battle of Xiangyang, and the Xiangyang defenders, who were supposed to sing the leading role, were defeated repeatedly and almost lost their faces.
And now, if the people of the government and the opposition know that Lu Wenhuan, the commander of the Xiangyang garrison, actually sent assassins to assassinate him after the victory because he was jealous of Ye Yingwu's achievements, then it would be strange if public opinion did not blow it up. Don't forget that this is the Song Dynasty, a dynasty where a scholar can spit at the emperor and the emperor can only smile bitterly and nod his head again and again!
Even if Jia Rudao is dictatorial and arbitrary now, it is difficult to change the national foundation of the Great Song Dynasty of "the emperor and the scholar share the world". Therefore, once Jiang Wanli fanned the flames with the world's corporal forest, I am afraid that those centrist officials who accounted for the majority would not hesitate to change their ways, and follow behind waving flags and shouting and cheering. After all, this matter is indeed Lu Wenhuan's inauthentic doing, and everyone can't violate their conscience to say anything.
Although he was sitting in the lobby, with the steaming delicacies in front of him, Niu Fu felt a chill in his heart, and his gaze at Ye Yingwu became a little complicated, the young Ye Yuanjun in front of him was definitely not as simple as he imagined, I am afraid in his heart. is no longer only focusing on Xiangyang and Fancheng.
, as soon as you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon! Niu Fu remembered a sentence of the ancients for no reason, the cloud is from the dragon, and the wind is from the tiger. This from the dragon, to be early!
Niu Fu's gaze became complicated, but Ye Yingwu didn't care so much, the message he wanted to convey to Niu Fu had already been conveyed, no matter what Niu Fu's reaction was. In fact, he didn't care for a long time. After all, for people who have reached the height of Niu Fu, it is not a few words that can influence him, nor can he pull others under his command by just saying it, so Ye Yingwu simply goes with the flow.
There is nothing to hide, and there is nothing to be hypocritical, just let you Niu Fu see clearly, what kind of person Ye Yingwu is, what kind of things he wants to do, everyone is honest, as for whether you want to follow a certain gangster. Then so-and-so can't be controlled! This is a difficult thing for a strong man, after all, it doesn't have much effect to do it, what a certain Ye Yingwu needs is a subordinate who can be relied on at the moment of crisis, and a subordinate who is suitable for him to work together.
What is the use of a subordinate who does not have the ability to be loyal and empty?
Ye Yingwu didn't look at Niu Fu, but subconsciously glanced at his side, Wang Jin, Jiang Hao and others obviously didn't take the ruthlessness that Ye Yingwu showed at that moment in their hearts, after all, these guys are relaxed, and their own envoys are ruthless in dealing with outsiders, which also saves the brothers a lot of effort. Such a good thing, why don't you hurry up and have a few drinks to celebrate, what are you worried about?
On the contrary, Yang Bao silently looked at the wine glass in his hand carefully, and did not join in the fun. I don't know what I'm thinking.
"What, but what's on your mind?" There was a sudden voice around him, and Yang Bao looked at it in surprise, but it was Ye Yingwu who brought it to him with a wine glass.
As the commander of the Tianwu Army, he was originally sitting under Ye Yingwu, so the two were very close to each other. Ye Yingwu handed over the wine glass, and he didn't even have to get up.
Yang Bao hurriedly shook his head, touched a glass with Ye Yingwu, and said with a wry smile: "Thanks to the envoy's care, his subordinates are just a little distracted, and I hope the envoy will not be surprised." β
Ye Yingwu didn't know whether to believe it or not, he drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm also very curious about what you Yang Bao can do, he is originally a frank and man, he can say anything, it's not good to hide it." β
Slightly stunned, Yang Bao immediately said: "What you say is really useful to your subordinates." The subordinates didn't have anything on their minds, they were just thinking about γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Ye Yingwu smiled slightly: "Whatever you want, just say what you want, don't say so-and-so and don't force it, anyway, so-and-so thinks he still knows you very well." β
Yang Bao nodded solemnly at Ye Yingwu, but he still didn't say anything after all, but he felt a warm current flowing slowly in his heart.
Just when the two of them had a word, Niu Fu seemed to have made up his mind, and walked straight to Ye Yingwu: "Ye Yuanjun, I don't know if I can borrow a moment to talk to someone in the council hall?" β
Ye Yingwu glanced back at him lightly, and then smiled: "It's an honor." β
The two of them left the lobby one after another, and Wang Jin inadvertently turned around, saw the backs of Ye Yingwu and Niu Fu, and immediately couldn't help but smile slightly: "It seems that this Niu Commander can't bear it." I didn't expect that the charm of our family would be the same everywhere I went. β
Jiang Ho bit a leg of mutton, his speech was a little slurred, and he didn't bother to answer, just smiled and shook his head.
A gust of cold wind blew in his face, but Niu Fu and Ye Yingwu didn't feel it one after the other, there was still snow in the courtyard that had not yet melted, and the ground was still wet. A few plum trees bloom in the white moonlight, and while the wind brings coldness, it does not forget to bring the fragrance of plum.
Niu Fu didn't hesitate, looked back at Ye Yingwu, and said straight to the point: "Ye Yuanjun, how to deal with the brothers of the Lu family in Xiangyang, I think Ye Yuanjun already has a number in his heart, but he doesn't need to say anything, but he wants to ask, does Ye Yuanjun really only want Xiangyang and Fancheng?" β
Ye Yingwu glanced at him in some surprise, obviously startled by Niu Fu's directness, but Ye Yingwu also knew that Niu Fu wanted to be the kind of person who was upright and had something to say, since the words came out like this, it meant that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time.
Stretching out his hand and patting the plum tree lightly, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "The land of Xiangyang and Fancheng is fertile, and it was a place where Yuewu Mutun soldiers stored grain back then. This can be said clearly to the cattle system. After all, the land of the three counties of Xingzhou. It's just too small. β
"The land of the three counties of Xingzhou is too small, and I am afraid that the land of the two cities of Xiangfan is not very big." Niu Fu looked at Ye Yingwu with a smile, "Ye Yuanjun." What kind of person are you, compared to yourself, you know very well, and you still have the courage to ask that question, does Ye Yuanjun only want Xiangyang and Fancheng, and what he wants is only the fall of the Lu family brothers? β
Ye Yingwu turned around suddenly. Looking at Niu Fu, at this moment, he even vaguely saw a look of expectation in Niu Fu's eyes. Isn't this guy expecting to be able to give him that answer, otherwise shouldn't he be more hesitant and nervous?
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Ye Yingwu clapped his hands, although there didn't seem to be any dust on his hands: "What is it, what is it, I don't know what kind of answer Niu Tongzhi wants to get?" In the three-third of an acre of land under the control of cattle, there are some things that I don't want to say so bluntly, otherwise I won't be controlled by others. β
Niu Fu's eyes shone brightly, and Ye Yingwu fell directly to the ground on one knee as Ye Yingwu expected. Arched his hand at Ye Yingwu: "The last general's guards and horses are all under the control of Niu Fu, and they are willing to serve Ye Zhijun, thanks to Ye Zhijun's refusal to give up, and he can do a little bit of his best under his command!" β
Ye Yingwu felt like a thunderbolt exploded violently in his mind, what was the situation? This Niu Fu hesitated at the banquet just now, how could he be so direct to himself now, even if he knew that his character had always been upright, but was this a little too upright, you must know that it was too upright, but it was rash.
Imprudent is not a good character. And it shows that such people are more likely to change their ways.
Feeling that Ye Yingwu was not moving in front of him, Niu Fu had obviously expected it, obviously Ye Yingwu was taken aback by his sudden allegiance, and he had not come back to his senses at this time. And he should also be wondering if he is cheating, and at the moment, Niu Fu said softly:
"Please also ask Ye Yuanjun to rest assured, it has been a day or two to have this heart, and he has been guarding Fancheng for more than ten years, what kind of changes are in this world, Niu Fu asked himself to see it clearly in his heart. This Great Song Dynasty has been eroded to the bones. The Mongolian Tatars in the north were also greatly injured in the battle of Xiangyang, and the only one who has the ability to change all this in the world is Ye Zhijun. β
The only one who can change the world is Ye Zhijun; The only one who can redeem this heavenly tilt is Ye Yuanjun! Ye Yingwu's heart trembled slightly, but Niu Fu's words were on his heart, isn't this exactly what he has been pursuing. What power position is actually not so important in Ye Yingwu's heart, it is impossible to say that he doesn't want it, wake up and kill human rights, drunk and beauties' knees, this is the lifelong pursuit of most men.
However, what Ye Yingwu wants more is to leave a name in history, and he wants to use his own strength to rewrite this era. In his previous life, he had already enjoyed enough power and money, and in this era, what Ye Yingwu wanted more was honor.
Straight up to Niu Fu behind him, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "Niu Zong has already said this, and there is nothing to hide." Tens of thousands of soldiers from the top and bottom of the Tianwu Army, isn't what they are doing to redeem this heavenly tilt? This mountain and river is still the mountains and rivers of our Chinese Han people, and this sky is still the sky of our Chinese Han people, isn't this enough? β
A smile of relief appeared on the corner of Niu Fu's mouth, he knew that his bet just now was not wrong, although Ye Yingwu did not say those rebellious words from beginning to end, but he had already made it very clear just now.
To redeem the sky, it is not the sky of the Great Song Dynasty that is being redeemed, but the sky of the Chinese Han people. When the time comes, it will not be the turn of the Great Song Zhao family who has lost half of the mountains and rivers to sit!
"Then I don't know what my subordinates should do." Niu Fu's eyes are blazing, and people can't see that this is a general who has spent most of his years and time in a city, but a young man with great ambitions who wants to go to the world with a sword.
Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and patted Niu Fu's shoulder: "This Fancheng, as well as this Xiangyang, still have to be entrusted to the control after all." After allγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» it is a good choice to go north from Xiangyang, and I hope that I can see the figure of Niu Tong in the Xiangyang Army during the Northern Expedition in the future. As for the Lu family brothers in the south and those people in Lin'an, let's deal with it. β
Niu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and was also a little excited, after all, if he really attacked his own people, he was not ready for this thought, but if he was allowed to lead the Northern Expedition. That's really the right shot. In the past, the Song army may have failed in the Northern Expedition again and again, but now it is different, with the Tianwu Army, and it coincides with the unstable foundation of Mongolia and the destruction of the army. Occupy the right time, place and people, who said that the Song army has no chance of winning.
The shame since Duanping entered Luo may have to be washed away by his Niu Fu!
Ye Yingwu's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Niu Fu, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, in that time and space. The general fought for Xiangyang and Fancheng for six years, and finally died of exhaustion, and finally turned into a wisp of loyal soul to be with his Fancheng forever.
Now entrusting Niu Fu with the responsibility of the future Northern Expedition can be regarded as compensation for him.
Only in this way can Ye Yingwu be worthy of his conscience.
ββββββββββββββ-
Huaibei, Lianzhou (now Lianshui County, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province).
The spring breeze has never crossed the Han River, but it has also not crossed the Huai River.
While the people of Fancheng and Xiangyang were complaining about the slow melting of the snow, the two Huai were still covered with snow. Lianzhou was one of the three strategically important places in Huaibei that was still under the control of the Song army, and it was also the largest area, and because it was located in the rear of the flank, it was adjacent to Huaishui. It can be regarded as the last line of defense of the Song army in Huaibei.
The Lianhai region included three cities, including Lianzhou and Haizhou, and from here it was possible to support Jingangtai (present-day Jingangtai, Shangcheng County, Henan) to the west and Wuhekou to the east, thus forming a corner that had been difficult for the Mongols to conquer.
Although the city of Lianzhou is not large, after many years of construction by Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui, not only the city wall is tall, but also the outside of the city is also a continuous camp, and the red flags fluttering in the wind can be seen in various high and low places.
Of course, in addition to the thousands of original defenders stationed in Lianzhou, there are also 15,000 Zhenhai troops who rushed from Zhenjiang Mansion. The Chinese military camp tent is located in the north of Lianzhou City. It belongs to the tradition of inheriting the main account of the Tianwu Army in the city.
Because this is more conducive to the coming and going of the sentry cavalry and the transfer of troops, but this is also a kind of confidence in the Tianwu Army and the Zhen Navy in their own strong strength. If it were to be replaced by other Song troops, they would not have the courage to let the Mongolian cavalry suddenly kill. There is a good chance that the Chinese army will not be able to hold it.
In the tent of the Chinese army, Su Liuyi quietly looked at the map in front of him, the Mongolian infantry cavalry had actually not made much movement recently, and the conflict between the two sides had been limited to the scale of the scout battle. And the root cause is that all the grain and grass from Mongolia were taken out to supply Xiangyang, so that the Lianghuai area did not have enough energy for a while, and the Southern Song Dynasty was even more because of the wind and snow. Lack of food and grass, coupled with the fact that most places are plains except for the areas controlled by the Song army, Rao is Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie are full of confidence in the town navy, and they do not dare to fight on the wasteland with more than 10,000 people and tens of thousands of cavalry.
As a result, the Xiangyang side was in full swing, but the Lianghuai side was not even a small fight. (Author's note: In history, while the Song army was desperately trying to rescue Xiangyang, the two Huai forces were empty, and the Mongols launched attacks one after another, causing the Jingangtai, Lianhai and Wuhekou areas controlled by the Song army to lose one after another, and the Song army's strength was finally driven to Huainan, losing the foothold of the Northern Expedition that it had done its best. οΌ
Zhang Shijie opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, his face was a little red from the cold, and he couldn't help but sigh twice, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Su Liuyi looked at him with some surprise: "What happy event makes you so happy?" β
You must know that for so many days, the two sides have only been confined to scout battles, and it is impossible to obtain any victory that makes Zhang Shijie happy.
There was no hesitation at the moment, Zhang Shijie smiled and handed the letter to Su Liuyi: "Take a look." β
Su Liuyi subconsciously glanced over, and then his face also showed ecstasy: "Xiangyang, Xiangyang, we won?!" β
"Yes, Yuanlie took the Tianwu army to cross the Han River, broke the Ashu 100,000 cavalry, and the battle of Xiangyang, we won." Zhang Shijie said with a smile, with a strong sense of pride in his words.
"It's good to win, it's good to win, it's a miraculous victory." Su Liuyi's eyes were even a little moist, everyone had endured for so many days, in addition to the lack of food and grass and the strength of the enemy, there was also a reason that there was no news from Xiangyang, which made everyone worried, where was this kung fu to attack?
If Xiangyang is defeated, then the town's navy will only increase casualties here.
"Immediately inform the whole army, beat the drum and gather the generals!" Su Liuyi looked at Zhang Shijie with a smile.
Zhang Shijie nodded solemnly: "The Tianwu Army has completed it perfectly, and now it's our turn." In particular, the magic weapon for winning the battle of Xiangyang - the flying thunder cannon has been transported over 20 units, and it is necessary to play a majestic role in saying anything, and also let the Mongolian Tatars of Lianghuai taste the taste! β
In addition to taking away 200 flying thunder cannons from the north, Ye Yingwu also specially ordered the production of 20 smaller flying thunder cannons to be transported to Lianghuai, so that the town navy could experience the use of this latest firearm.
"yes, it's our turn!" Su Liuyi looked at Yutu with blazing eyes. (To be continued.) )
