Chapter 422: Decisive Battle I

During the five years of Taiping, the Han State did not have a single war, and the Yan State ended its rebellion under the command of General Cheng. As soon as the Yan government and the opposition had just restored stability, the King of Zhongshan walked into the palace from the border pass, watched the Manchu civil and military officers respectfully report to the Yan Emperor about the war in the border pass for five years. The minister of civil and military affairs, who enjoyed peace for five years, still did not feel that the king of Zhongshan had much merit, and it was really because the Han army did not launch any war in five years.

Du Ruhui said: "Lord Wang, you said that the border defense has been rebuilt in the past five years, haven't you thought that the Han army will not move to recover the mountains and rivers in one fell swoop." In the more than 30 years of border defense you ruled, nearly one-third of my Yan country was buried in your hands, and now it is just to rebuild the border defense. If the land of Yan cannot be recovered in one day, it will not be stable, can the current border defense resist two million Han troops. ”

The King of Zhongshan said solemnly: "No. ”

Turned his head and scolded angrily: "Since you can't resist the Han army, what is the use of you commanding a million border troops, Lord Wang." ”

General Cheng, who had only quelled the rebellion a year ago, walked out and looked at Emperor Yan, who had not said the slightest, facing the prime minister. said: "The prime minister doesn't know, the prince has done well enough in the past few decades. Any general present had better only be the current border guard, afraid that if he left the prince, the Han army would have appeared in the palace now. You ministers who only know how to move their lips still have the opportunity to stand here, as the ministers of the dead country, who dares to leave Yandu and go to the border with the prince to kill the enemy. Fortunately, you are all important ministers who are inseparable from the imperial court, and going to the border will only make the Yan Kingdom more chaotic. Those juniors in the family are arrogant and domineering in Yandu, so that my Yan country can resist the Han army and the border pass. My Yan army will definitely improve a lot overall, and I believe that the emergence of an aristocratic army, those civilian-born armies will definitely exchange their lives for the Yan country. ”

Emperor Yan looked at the silent King of Zhongshan, and knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for the appearance of this imperial brother and nephew Yu Wentian, I was afraid that the current Yan Kingdom would be even more chaotic. I only heard Du Ruhui say: "As long as Your Majesty agrees, from now on, I will take the male son of the family to the border with the prince." It's just that the people present in the rebellion of the prince back then believed that they knew very well that if they were defeated in the hands of His Majesty, would they still have the face to lead the army. As long as the prince does not become a generalissimo, I believe that many ministers will let the men in the family go to join the army. ”

Du Ruhui's voice just fell, but he saw all the Wenchen take a step back, and even some generals retreated silently. Du Ruhui, who was furious in his heart, never thought of when the Yan court would become like this, when he was still the commander of General Cheng decades ago, but countless ministers wanted to let their children go to the frontier. It's only been a long time, but these ministers who wanted to suppress the King of Zhongshan a few days ago were silent.

Du Ruhui, who was furious, said: "A group of cowards, if Yan Kingdom does not have your children, can you still enjoy wealth and prosperity like now." Okay, good, good, Benxiang took his family to the border to live and die with Yan Guo. ”

Emperor Yan, who was still peaceful, said: "Prime Minister, your mind is clear, and you don't need the whole family to go to the border. No, the general's proposal is not bad, and all the family ministers of Yandu must send three of them to the border pass, starting from the soldiers. I believe that there will be an army of nearly 30,000 people, and this army will be under the command of you, Prime Minister. ”

Before Du Ruhui could speak, countless central ministers were talking about the old mother's living wife and children at home, and they were reluctant to send their children to death. The people's hearts are full of expressions, and the noisy voices in the hall are more painful than the fighting of the border pass army. I don't know when the powerful Yan Kingdom will become like this, and these Wenchen, who have always wanted their children to go to the border to join the army and earn military merits, try to shirk it as much as possible at this time.

Emperor Yan, who suddenly spoke, said: "Since I have opened my mouth, there is no room for maneuver, and I am limited to surrendering to the army within three days." If the 30,000 troops don't appear by then, there is no need for the whole family to stay in Yandu, and it is better to pass the border together. ”

Seeing Emperor Yan's angry appearance, he had no choice but to obey, but there was a smile on King Zhongshan's face. After the end of the early dynasty, the two walked in the garden, and Emperor Yan sat on the ground. The eunuch, who was immediately flustered, hurriedly went to the seat or cushion, and before he could speak, Emperor Yan signaled to retreat. There were only two people in the garden, and the King of Zhongshan sat with his back against a large tree.

The two most noble men of the Yan Kingdom sat casually like this, "The Imperial Brother Yan Kingdom may not be guaranteed, I believe that the Imperial Brother also knows that this is the trend of the times." There is also the origin of my Yuwen family, that is, I can become one of the Three Kingdoms without any help. In the past 10 million years, how much has the surname of the Yuwen family changed. How many times has the country name changed, and how many times have he become the emperor of a country. But every time the three sects are destroyed, there is a matter of my Yuwen family, and after so many years, the current Yuwen family is the weakest generation. Since the founding of the country, I have given up my demon identity and lost how much. I believe that the agreement between Tian'er and Wang Yuan will be known to you early on, and this is an opportunity for my Yuwen family to wait for the appearance of the God King. ”

Emperor Yan, who didn't care about the dragon robe carrying the soil, said, "I know that there are more than two hundred outstanding children who have entered the Wang Garden over the years. Lin Hai can go to any country, but Yan Country can't go. Since the day the ancestor left the Eastern Regions, my Yuwen family has not had the opportunity to step into the Eastern Regions, and now only Wang Yuan can still retain a trace of blood. ”

King Zhongshan said, "Brother Huang, you can also enter the royal garden and re-establish the Yan Kingdom after the end of the world. ”

"No, what kind of face does the Yan Kingdom have to destroy the country in my hands to meet the ancestors. I will be watching you fight the Han army in a decisive battle, waiting here for the Han army to kill at least tens of thousands of people to be worthy of the people of Yan Kingdom. Tian'er and entering Wang Yuan is the best decision, as long as you two are in Yuwen's house, you will always be there. ”

The King of Zhongshan, who looked up at the sky, said: "I have decided to fight to the death with the Han army, and the Yan Kingdom is a prosperous era where the three of us brothers have worked hard for three hundred years now." Since your eldest brother of the Moon Emperor has left, I have no need to live, and the prince should go to Wang Yuan, and there is some friendship between Tian'er and Wang Feng, as long as I don't know that it is the prince, there is nothing to do. ”

Emperor Yan, who was lying directly on the ground, was silent, as if he had never thought about this day. King Zhongshan understood that Emperor Yan's mind was not much to say, so he changed the subject and said, "I plan to fight Wei Wuji in five years, and this victory is not a big deal. ”

"I know that Yan Guo is about to go. ”

.......

The five-year renovation of the Han military camp has not been demoralized, but has been waiting for the prince to give an order, and from the day Wei Wuji appeared in the border city, countless generals raised their swords in their hands, just waiting for an order.

Two million troops gathered in the sky, this time it seems that there is no full-scale war, but the whole army has been fighting until Yandu. Wei Wuji, who was wearing a purple gold python robe, looked at Yan Guo in front of him with an inevitable appearance, and his kingly spirit became even more obvious. A prince with the same surname sent by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty could only stand silently beside Wei Wuji, not even as good as Lan Ze.

Wei Wuji ordered: "Let's go." ”

The mighty army of two million marched towards the territory of Yan Kingdom, and the border defense of King Zhongshan was still like a bamboo. Three years later, nearly half of the Yan army outside Liuchuan gathered 800,000 troops to face the Han army. The two sides are at a stalemate. The king of Zhongshan on the Liuchuan knew very well that there were only one million Han troops at this time, and the two sides did not actually lose much in the three years. It is believed that in the past three years, the Han army has no new sources of troops, and there are still nearly 1.8 million horses, and the Han army can withstand a major defeat, even if all the millions of troops are confessed, they will have the strength to fight again.

Wei Wuji, who had walked all the way to Liuchuan, saw that half of the Yan Kingdom was already in his hands, and in front of him was the 800,000 Yan army of the King of Zhongshan. I knew very well in my heart that this was the most difficult battle, and compared to a hundred years ago, when only 30,000 people attacked the Wu State, which battle next to the Jishui River would only be more difficult. Which battle faced the 100,000-strong army of Wu Hesheng, the general of Wu State, and Wei Wuji, who had always been famous for fighting to the death, fought with 30,000 people and 100,000 people in the river.

At that time, only Wei Wuji in the early stage of Jindan was just a small pioneer officer, and which general could see Wei Wuji's ambition back then. He had always wanted to get rid of it quickly, and with 30,000 Wei Wuji, who was not familiar with water warfare, drove a warship that was more than ten times smaller than the Wu army. Since the beginning of the great war, the sword in his hand has never stopped, and only 100 people remained in the 30,000 people in five days. There were only five warships, and the Wu army only won but did not lose. But it was when Wei Wuji took 30,000 people who only knew how to kill people, and never thought that there was a way out. 100,000 suffered heavy casualties in two days, and Wei Wuji replaced 30,000 soldiers of the Wu army with 10,000 men. Until the fourth day, Wei Wuji, who had only 5,000 men left, still did not flinch in the face of the 50,000 Wu army, and was murderous under Wei Wuji's command.

Until the fifth day, Wei Wuji, who only had 100 people left, seemed to have only all the people dead, and the Wu army could enter the Han State, and Wu Hesheng's 40,000 people could never cross the Jishui, making the war of the Wu State in the Han State defeated again and again. It happened that Wei Wuji, who only had a hundred people left on the fifth day, saw the Wu army retreat, and Wei Wuji, who had been fighting at a high level for five days, fell directly at that moment.

Looking at the Yan army in front of him, he remembered that he fought against the Wu army on the bank of the Jishui River, which battle has always become a classic example of the Han State winning more with less. The current Yan army is like its own 30,000 people, and I believe that it will fight to the death for the country.

"Yan Kingdom has been in the country for more than a hundred years, after all, they are all people from Yan Kingdom. It's a pity that this battle took too long. ”

Liu Xun, who rode up on the demon beast, said: "The prince has done well enough, you must know that Yan Country is not comparable to the eight countries of Wu Kingdom." Although the time is long, but how many people have died in my Han Kingdom, if it is not for the management of the prince for more than 100 years, even if he won the Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop, he would not have the strength to annex the Yan Kingdom. ”

Wei Wuji was the only one beside him, Liu Xun stood on the hill of Liuchuan with more than a dozen guards, looked at the 800,000 Yan army and said, "Yes, this king thinks like this, why not the king of Zhongshan." Three years ago, if the king of Zhongshan didn't have a similar idea to this king, why couldn't he recapture a few cities, he wanted the Yan people to die less, and this king didn't want the Han army and the Yan people to die less, not the future Han people. ”

Looking at half of the Yan Kingdom, Liu Xun said: "Lord Wang, look at the most oriental Wang Garden, I heard many people rumoring that Wang Yuan is a paradise along the way. Where everyone enjoys peace, even outside the Wangyuan, the five cities are not comparable to any place in the world. After the prince takes the Yan Kingdom, can he give the Wang Garden to the last general, where will it be the best garden. ”

Blink to look at Liu Xun, the favorite general, "If you dare to move Wang Yuan, it is best to put your good head here." Wang Yuan's king will not move at any time, and the kindness of the gentleman will be done even if he lets the king die. ”

Suddenly, Liu Xuan, who was covered in a cold sweat, watched Wei Wuji walk down the mound, this sentence sounded like Wei Wuji was said very casually, but he knew very well in his heart everything that happened in Tianlan Mountain. I also knew that Wei Wuji wanted to kill someone in the Han Kingdom, even if the emperor couldn't keep it, even if he killed the emperor and became the lord of the Han Kingdom.

Turning around, he didn't even dare to get close to Wei Wuji's five zhang behind the guard, turned his head to look at Wang Yuan, the easternmost part of the Yan Kingdom, and said silently: "Even if it can't become my Liu Xun's manor, it's good to go and have a look." ”

Two days later, in the tent of the Liuchuan Dongfang Yan military camp, the countless orders of the King of Zhongshan had all been arranged. Although Du Ruhui led an army of 30,000 nobles and did not participate in the war, he saw that although he had been defeated during this time, King Zhongshan had done well enough. Every order must be taken care of, otherwise the army of 30,000 nobles would have been wiped out.

"Please forgive me for what the last general said before, although the last general of this battle is from a civilian background, after all, he has the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Realm. Although the army of 30,000 nobles has not experienced war, after all, they have cultivated at home for many years. ”

The King of Zhongshan glanced at the upright Du Ruhui and said, "Prime Minister, when did this king blame you." Although the Prime Minister has been thinking about pulling this king off the horse for so many years, when has he ever owed a single point in military funds. You and I are all for the good of Yan Guo, but winning or losing is life and death. I don't need you yet, but you will definitely be indispensable in the next battle. ”

Sitting back in place and listening to the military order issued by the King of Zhongshan, Yu Wentian received the general's order and turned to leave. General Cheng waited for the general's order but never heard it, and saw that there were only three people left in the camp. Just as he was about to speak, King Zhongshan took a heavy look.

The divine sense suddenly said: "General Cheng, what you have to do is very important, and now I can only use my divine sense to talk to you." Listen, you can't make a single mistake, you can only leave 50,000 people in your hands, and these 50,000 people are not in Liuchuan in the territory of Yan Kingdom. Now go and settle 50,000 people near Yandu to protect Your Majesty. This matter cannot be known to anyone, not even the royal brother........."

His expression suddenly became heavy, and he immediately walked out of the camp and headed towards Yandu.

Du Ruhui looked at the only two people left, and was about to speak, and King Zhongshan said: "Prime Minister, what you have to do is very simple, whether you win or lose in a month, take your 30,000 people to escort supplies. This matter is very important, all human lives are generally in your hands, and I believe that no one in the army will do this better than you. ”

Du Ruhui, who had been silent for a long time, got up and said, "The last general will be honored." ”

On this day, Zhongshan Wang Yuwen Chengdu once again appeared in front of the army in armor, Yan Guojun God Yuwen Chengdu three hundred years ago no one did not respect the military god to raise the blade to step on the last battle in this life.

Wei Wuji changed out of the purple gold python robe and wore a pair of battle armor that had already been replaced by many generations of ordinary soldiers, for hundreds of years, since Wei Wuji led the army, there was only this pair of battle armor, and the battle armor rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor in the family had never been put on his body. Only this pair of ordinary extreme armor, although it is very ordinary, but the sergeant with the same armor has already become an heirloom, and all of them love the armor.

Wei Wuji walked in front of him and behind the million-strong army of the camp towards the east of Liuchuan, and the 800,000-strong army of the King of Zhongshan came towards the west.
