Chapter 225: The Imperial Driver's Expedition

Wang Fei said this to the emperor Brother Zhen, and the emperor will definitely be able to hold a ceremony to seal Zen in the future.

The emperor is excellent, the emperor is capable!

Nowadays, the peaceful people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and it is the grassland people who always invade the frontier.

Wang Fei told the emperor that after Emperor Fukang seized the throne of Emperor Huiwu (Wang Fei talked to Emperor Zhen Brother about everything, he knew the true identity of the emperor), although he became the emperor, there were many people who opposed him.

Emperor Fu Kang killed so many ministers, and his methods were cruel, and the ministers and Lao Baixin dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

After the rule of Emperor Fu Kang stabilized, Emperor Fu Kang wanted to win the hearts of the people, and he made five expeditions to the north, which to a large extent diverted people's bad behavior of him to usurp the throne of Emperor Huiwu, and also dealt a great deal of blow to the arrogance of the cavalry on the steppe, so that the frontier did not receive an attack for a long time.

At that time, someone suggested that Emperor Fu Kang do a great ceremony of sealing Zen, Emperor Fu Kang was self-aware, and only by virtue of the fact that he took the throne of his nephew, his character was far behind.

Therefore, Emperor Fu Kang did not do a great ceremony of canonization.

After a long period of internal warfare, the steppe peoples have formed a unity, led by a great khan named Xianye.

This guy is physically strong and brave in battle, he has an army of 100,000 under his command, and he has been under the orders of the imperial court before.

However, with the strength of his soldiers and horses, coupled with Wang Fei's insatiable greed, this guy was angered.

The king stumbled in the court, how could he anger the ancestors?

You must know that the ancestor is the Great Khan of the steppe, and he has to pay tribute to the imperial court every year.

What is there to pay tribute on the grassland, mainly horses, cattle and sheep.

Every time they came to pay tribute, they would also bring a business team, about two or three thousand people, to exchange furs for some daily necessities with the local people, such as cloth and food.

When they came to pay tribute, the emperor would reward them with some materials, which could offset the price of their horses.

As a big country, he must show generosity and not take advantage of the weak brigades in the steppe.

Therefore, the ancestors brought two or three thousand people every time, and the emperor's reward was naturally to be rewarded according to the head.

Originally, both were fine.

But in the past two years, due to Wang Fei's insatiable greed and growing appetite, the conditions put forward to the ancestor have become more and more harsh, which has made the ancestor have a headache for him.

The ancestor could only fill the horses he had offered, and he would take ordinary horses to the court, and then give the king one or two hundred horses and cattle and sheep as bribes.

Wang Fei said that it was okay, and he said that it would be okay.

However, last year, due to his strong strength, the ancestor did not meet the conditions put forward by the insatiable Wang Fei.

So Wang Fei not only withheld the materials of the emperor's reward for the ancestors, but also confiscated the furs and other things brought by their caravans.

Because what each of them brings is clearly stipulated, and it is not as much as they can bring.

Every time Wang Fei took the benefits of his ancestors, he always turned a blind eye, but now he is serious.

The ancestor naturally suffered the loss of Wang Fei.

So after going back, he raised troops to plunder the things of the people at the border pass, which made the border pass urgent.

Wang Fei took over the beam with the ancestor, so he wanted to clean up the ancestor.

Wang Fei blew the wind in front of the emperor and said that he wanted to teach the ancestor a lesson and let him know the power of a great country.

Wang Fei asked the emperor to drive the expedition in person, so that he could not only teach the ancestor a lesson, make him bow down to his subordinates, and take out the best horses, cattle and sheep as trophies for peace, but also make the emperor shake the world.

If the emperor defeats the ancestor this time, the emperor will be even more loved by the old white surname, so it will lay the groundwork for the emperor to seal Zen in the future!

The emperor Brother Zhen is young and competitive, he feels that the ancestor has no self-knowledge, and he dares to invade the frontier, so he doesn't take him as the emperor in his eyes.

So the emperor Zhen Ge decided to teach the ancestor a lesson.

The emperor decided to go on a personal expedition.

When Ma Ya heard the news, she was almost so angry that she didn't take her back on it.

The emperor Zhen brother is a few catties and a few horses.

Thinking about Emperor Fukang, who was born as a famous general, he conquered the grassland tribes five times, although he gained something, but it was a loss of money for the people and money, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Back then, Emperor Fu Kangdi once pulled out an army of 500,000 people, not to mention anything else, just the food problem of these people, how much food should be supplied to the front?

Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, the 500,000 troops had to have a million people, and you must know that the people who transported the grain and grass also had to eat.

As a result, Emperor Fukangdi made five expeditions to the north, but two or three times were all in vain.

That's because the steppe cavalry saw that there were so many troops of Emperor Fu Kangdi, and they couldn't beat them and escape, where could they find people in a place as big as the grassland?

Besides, the steppe cavalry came and went quickly.

That was when the steppe cavalry was weak.

And now it's different.

The current ancestor has been raising troops for so many years, and the combat effectiveness under his command is very powerful.

Lao Yuan's division and fighting with strong soldiers is a taboo for soldiers!

The emperor is young and has a hot brain, and Wang Fei, a eunuch, is not good at leading troops to fight, but the emperor is eager to try under his instigation.

There were many ministers in the court who advised the emperor, but Brother Zhen had already made up his mind.

After several court meetings, the emperor finally made up his mind to drive the expedition in person.

Emperor Zhenge planned to mobilize 200,000 troops to the front line this time.

In the eyes of the emperor Zhenge, the 200,000 army against the 100,000 army of the ancestor will definitely be able to defeat him.

What's more, the soldiers are fighting under the emperor's nose, and they will definitely be brave and abnormal.

Ma Ya gritted her teeth with hatred and scolded the emperor for being a fool.

Ma Ya not only knew about Emperor Fu Kangdi's five northern expeditions, but Ma Ya also read some military books. She knew that it would be difficult for the emperor to win this expedition.

Fortunately, the emperor also knew that his younger brother Chen Wangyu would be in charge of the country.

Ma Ya and began her own deployment.

Ma Ya asked Feng Yiqing to issue an order to her subordinates in the army, once the war began, once the front army lost, immediately let her subordinates cut off Wang Fei's head in the chaos.

Ma Ya knew that she couldn't start Wang Fei in the northern capital, but in the confrontation between the two armies, it was a chaos, once the 200,000 army led by the emperor lost, Wang Fei was executed on the spot in the chaotic army.

This is safer, the emperor can't know who killed Wang Fei afterwards, so many troops, all with armor, who knows whom, if it fails, everyone only cares about fleeing for their lives, who can take care of others!

Ma Ya asked Feng Yiqing's subordinates to kill Wang Fei has a choice, if the emperor Zhen Ge wins this time, then Wang Fei is asking if he can't kill him, the emperor will investigate it, and he will suspect Ma Ya.

Ma Ya doesn't need to fall out with her nephew because of a eunuch.

If he fails, it's different, even if the emperor knows that it's Ma Ya's hand, he doesn't have a temper.

Because Wang Fei supported the emperor's personal expedition, regardless of the advice of the ministers of the court, and ignored the strong advice of Lord Shangshu Qi of the Ministry of War and Lord Yu, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, if he failed, the sin must be on Wang Fei.

But Ma Ya knew that once Wang Fei returned to the Northern Capital, it would be more difficult for the emperor to kill Wang Fei than to ascend to the sky.

Wang Fei has followed the emperor since he was a child, and his feelings for Wang Fei are still quite good, and it is understandable that the emperor will not kill him.

Just like Ma Ya, if Sister Hua makes a mistake and someone wants to kill Sister Hua, Ma Ya has to fight with others, this is a truth.

So Ma Ya gave such an order, and she also thought twice, she had to be safe, not blindly impulsive!

In addition, Ma Ya also suggested to the emperor through Lian'er's Queen Mother Party that the military department should stay in the northern capital and assist Brother Yu in managing the country.

You must know that this time the emperor drove the expedition in person, and the civil and military officials almost went out.

The emperor has gone, can they not go? The emperor is not afraid of death, do they dare to be afraid of death?!

These emperors are all approved.

This Wang Fei has nothing to say, after all, the normal governance of the northern capital is still necessary.

Also, after Ma Ya deployed these, Ma Ya asked Feng Yiqing to stay in the Northern Capital and listen to her orders at any time.

There is little gossip, just say that the emperor led the troops to the battle, which was vast and mighty.

This is also the first time that the emperor has gone out to fight.

He looked at his army in front of and behind him, and his heart was full of pride.

Emperor Fu Kang can fight, Emperor Xian Jier can also fight, they are all good at fighting, Brother Zhen thought, is he worse than them?!

Brother Zhen was stumbled by the king and carried to the sky, he was fluttering, and there was no one in his eyes.

He thought that this expedition was full of talents, and he wanted strategists and strategists, generals and generals, and soldiers and soldiers, which was twice as many as the other party, which was really invincible.

The good hand Brother Zhen even imagined that if the ancestor saw him driving in person, he would definitely be so frightened that he peed his pants, either he ran away and did not dare to invade again, or he prostrated at the feet of Brother Zhen and begged the emperor to spare him from death.

Brother Zhen made the words that he wanted to spare the first master, and listed the conditions for surrendering to the first master to him.

Brother Zhen thought that if the ancestor knew each other, he would take a trip to the grassland this time.

If the ancestor didn't know each other, he would definitely beat him.

The emperor thought so, and Wang Fei did not forget to continue to praise in front of the emperor.

So the emperor's mood is relaxed and happy.

Wang Fei also made his own little calculations, he thought, when the time comes, he must knock the ancestor hard to see if he dares not to listen to his own words in the future.

Wang Fei even thought that when the time came, he would kill the ancestor and help another person to be a great sweat, so that Wang Fei would be better controlled.

Wang Fei thought: Master, it will depend on your performance when the time comes!

Imagine that it was beautiful, but in fact, this war greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and it also covered the horses.

For the sake of getting to the point, let's omit a lot of things.

It is only said that this time the commander is in addition to the emperor, and it is the king who has stumbled.

The army marched in, and it was not far from the ancestors at the border.

In order to lead the imperial army closer, the ancestor took the initiative to retreat.

However, Wang Fei did not listen to the advice of the local generals who were guarding here, saying that the ancestor was luring them.

Wang Fei insisted on going his own way, still falling close to the crowd, Wang Fei told the emperor that the border generals were all frightened by the ancestors, if they were not cowardly and incompetent, how could the ancestors dare to offend the border gates of the imperial court? !

Brother Zhen also felt that Wang Fei was right, so many troops were still afraid that his ancestor's 100,000 troops would not succeed?

What's more, when the emperor arrives at the border pass, there are also soldiers at the border, and there are even more of them.

Who knows, in the process of their approach, the front army was ambushed by the cavalry of the ancestor and suffered heavy casualties.

After considering the safety of the emperor's brother Zhen's life, the army decided to retreat.

The ancestor also has concerns in his heart, you must know that the emperor led 200,000 troops this time, plus the border soldiers, there are many people, and the ancestor has no certainty of victory.

At that time, when he learned that it was not Lord Shangshu Qi of the military department who led the army to fight this time, but Wang Fei, a wave of vengeful anger suddenly surged in the ancestor's heart.

If it weren't for Wang Fei, he would still want to get some benefits from the court, and he wouldn't have rebelled against the court.

can only blame Wang Fei for being too greedy for money.

The ancestor wanted to kill this Wang Fei with his own hands, and the property he took from the ancestor made the ancestor feel blood in his heart.

So the ancestor was like Ma Ya, who was bent on killing the king and stumbling.

In any case, the imperial army retreated south, and the ancestor must be chasing.

You must know that you can at least pick up materials in the process of chasing.

Besides, the retreating side will definitely be unable to defeat the army, and the soldiers who chase and kill the soldiers who are left behind can at least get horses, food and other trophies.

For the imperial army, the losses were not big after all, they had more than 200,000 troops.

Originally, according to the opinion of Lord Shangshu Qi of the Ministry of War, for the safety of the army, there was at least a barrier there, and it was difficult to break through if he wanted to fight and defend the ancestor.

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the initiative to fight a war is in one's own hands, not the other side.

But what the king thought was that he wanted to station his troops on a high slope, so that he could condescend to kill the enemy.

So they were stationed on this high mound of earth that afternoon, and missed the time to retreat to the pass.

The iron cavalry of the ancestor chased after him and surrounded the imperial army.

It wasn't until the evening cooking time that I realized there was something wrong with the place.

What's the problem? There is no water on the high slopes.

Water is needed for cooking, and in this desert area, where the wind and sand are very strong, soldiers also need to drink water.

Men were sent to dig five or six meters deep, but they couldn't dig any water.

Wang Fei decided that he planned to lead the army to tear apart the pocket formation of the ancestor army early the next morning.

It is said that this should be no problem, and the army has many generals.

So that night, the soldiers went to bed hungry and waited only for the next morning to fight with the ancestors' army.

The next day, Wang Fei was about to order the army to go to war, but the army of the ancestor came, expressing the meaning of the commander of the master.

said that this war was because Wang Fei was too disagreeable, and he always asked for the property of the first master, which made the first master angry in his heart and harassed the frontier to vent his personal anger.

The ancestor sent an envoy to ask the emperor to kill the king, and the ancestor still bowed to the emperor in the future, and paid tribute to the emperor every year as before.

The ministers all felt that what the ancestor said was the truth, but it was unrealistic for him to ask the emperor to kill Wang Fei in battle.

The emperor asked the envoy to go back and reply to the first master, saying that this condition was not good, and the emperor Zhen Ge asked the first master to surrender, otherwise there would be a decisive battle, and the emperor would lead the army to kill all the people of the first master.

The ancestor listened to the messenger's message, and asked the envoy to bring a message to the emperor's brother Zhen, saying that he didn't want to fight, the emperor brought too many soldiers and horses, and he didn't want to anger the emperor's dragon face.

The ancestor has the intention of negotiating peace, and wants to talk to the emperor's envoy about the conditions, as long as the emperor's brother Zhen's requirements are not high, don't treat the ancestor for this matter, and the ancestor can agree to the emperor on any conditions.

As a result, the emperor really sent an envoy to negotiate, and the two sides reached an agreement.

The ancestor began to withdraw his troops backwards.

Wang Fei said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, have you seen it, is he afraid?" When we get the horses he sent, we ask him to lead his army away from the border from now on, or we will still kill him!" ”

The imperial army slackened.

In fact, this time the ancestor used a trick.

He knew that there was no water on the high slopes, and that the delay had made the soldiers hungry and hungry.

By the time they had negotiated the terms, it was already afternoon.

In this way, from yesterday afternoon to this afternoon, the soldiers had no food to eat and no water to drink.

Some soldiers were so hungry that they grabbed flour and ate it.

There is no water, and the mouth is even drier after eating flour.

Therefore, when the ancestor retreated the encircled army, the army of the imperial court rushed down.

There was a river a few miles away, and they were all rushing to get water.

So the imperial army was simply a mess, and there was no system, everyone just wanted to drink water as soon as possible, and when they were full of water, they would come back to cook in the pot, and they would retreat after eating.

How did they know that in the woods on the other side of the river, the 50,000 troops of the ancestor had already been ambushed.

This catastrophe made the imperial army inevitable!
