Chapter 160: The First World War
The rebels who were galloping from the capital rushed all the way through the city and through the mountains, like a huge palm slapping towards Linzhou, and the mountains and cities were broken and the people were defeated and the soldiers retreated until they stopped five hundred miles away from Linzhou.
Across the undulating mountain beams, dense guards are overwhelming.
The two armies faced each other, and the wind and snow of the cold winter and the moon were solidified.
Solidified for a while......
It seems that they are waiting for the other party to strike first, but neither side has made a move, and the daily soldiers and horses provoke scouts to conduct some small-scale battles.
Just when I thought I was going to survive the New Year, another army of soldiers and horses shot first.
Not here, but from the rear of the rebels, a troop of soldiers and horses appeared diagonally from the southeast, like a sharp sword stabbing in the waist of the rebels.
Xiang Yun stood at the highest point of the hill and looked up at the higher place.
On several tall pole wagons, the messengers waved flags to convey the battle situation in the distance.
The wind shuttles in the cold winter and brings ghosts and wolves to howl, and the ground trembles and makes people's hearts shake, as if they are tossed in the sea.
"The soldiers and horses of the southeast province attacked the western flank of the rebels, about 30,000." An adjutant general retracted his gaze and said the news from the scout, "Prevail at this time." ”
"Have you determined that An Qingzhong is here?" Xiang Yun asked.
The adjutant general nodded: "The camp of the Chinese army is fifty miles away, there is a Ming Yellow Dragon Flag, and there is a large banner with the word Weaving Jin'an." ”
Ankang Mountain said that the emperor naturally used the dragon flag, and An Qingzhong, who was named King Zheng, was ordered to go on the expedition, and there was naturally a dragon flag in the army.
"There are scouts who saw An Qingzhong inspecting the camp with their own eyes." The adjutant general added, looking ahead again, "But the soldiers and horses of the southeast province have been fighting so far, and the Chinese army camp has not moved. ”
Xiang Yun smiled: "Then let's go and meet the true face of this King Zheng." ”
With his order, the adjutant general raised his hand to signal, the trumpeters blew their horns, and the messengers on the pole wagons waved their flags.
The overwhelming guards began to move slowly, slow at first glance, and the thunderous aura could be felt up close.
The cavalry slowly dispersed in front, and the speed of the armored soldiers became faster and faster, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the shouts were rolling, like a flood that burst the embankment, and rushed endlessly to the soldiers and horses outside several layers of ups and downs.
......
......
Hundreds of miles away, the battle broke through the sky.
The emperor, who was sitting in the palace of King Lu, stood up: "The ground is shaking." ”
Cui Zheng looked at the emperor who had just sat down and stood up again, and said, "Your Majesty, that is not the movement of the battle outside Linzhou, this is the soldiers and horses guarding Linzhou galloping." ”
The emperor sat down and sighed, "I don't know how? This thief came so quickly, and there were not many soldiers and horses brought by Xiang Dudu. ”
There is only Zhang An in front of the king in the palace, and now the war is tense, Zhang An Wang Lin guards Linzhou to ensure that one person is in the army at all times.
Hearing that the emperor was worried, Zhang An said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Xiang Dudu brought 40,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were selected elite soldiers, and more than half of them were brought by us from Shannan Road." ”
The emperor didn't take his words to heart.
Cui Zheng said: "There are 30,000 soldiers and horses assisted by the governor of Qi. ”
After calculating in his heart, if there were seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses, even the rebels who claimed to be 100,000 would not be so easy, and the emperor sat down: "I didn't expect it to be the governor of Qi who made the first move." ”
Cui Zheng corrected: "It is the governor of Xiang who has a plan, and this is a pre-discussed attack. ”
Xiangye is so fair, whoever has merit is meritorious, and he will never obey the emperor's random praise, so whoever is wrong is wrong, and he Cui Zheng is also calm.
The emperor smiled: "Then it also depends on the courage of the soldiers and horses of the governor of Qi to make the trip." ”
Seeing that the two monarchs and ministers praised one by one, Zhang An, who was standing in the hall, couldn't help but interject: "There are all the governors outside, and the governors of Qi are brave and strategic, plus the upcoming Jiannan Dao, this battle will definitely make the traitors have no return." ”
He reminded him well, and the emperor hurriedly asked, "Have the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road arrived?" ”
Cui Zheng said lightly: "If it arrives, Governor Zhang and Governor Wang will definitely come to pay their respects." ”
Until now, there has been no fanfare, so naturally it has not arrived.
The emperor was not disappointed on his face, and said with relief: "The road of Jiannan Road is not easy to walk, and it is far from here, so there is no hurry." ”
Zhang An nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, this time the soldiers and horses are going slowly, Lord Han said that it was 40,000 elite soldiers mobilized from Jiannan Road, and Li Mingyu and Li Dudu were personally in charge." ”
The emperor nodded again and again, Cui Zheng frowned, is it because there are many soldiers and horses or is it because this child is slow to leave? The big thing of the conquest is that the little governor followed to join in the fun.
If this kid is as timid as a mouse and is afraid, wouldn't it cause trouble if he shakes the morale of the army?
He also knew why this little governor wanted to personally supervise the lead, in order to come to the emperor to compete for merit and show his face, Wu Ya'er was here before, and it was not his turn to be a child, but now Wu Ya'er has left, and Linzhou has reached a critical moment again, and at this time he has a chance to come out.
However, he also knew why Han Xu didn't stop this little Governor, and this little boy would no longer have any ties when he left Jiannan Dao.
Fortunately, compared with these generals, Cui Zheng still believes in Wenchen more, if you want to fight for fame and profit, you will give it to you, as long as the foundation of the court is there, there will always be a day when the chaos will be clear.
Cui Zheng half-closed his eyes and did not ask any more questions.
Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also anxious in his heart, it stands to reason that the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao should have arrived, Han Xu wouldn't lie to them, right? It shouldn't be, that's deceiving the imperial court, don't Han Xu and Jiannan Dao Xiao'er want to live?
It's not right, at this time, deceiving the court is all alive and well, and deceiving the court can't be called deception, it can also be said to be rebellion.....
If Jiannan Dao rebels, then Linzhou will be in danger!
If Linzhou is really dangerous, what will he do? Well, he has eaten and lived with that little governor for so long, it should be regarded as a little affection, and when the time comes, ......
Zhang An stood in the hall thinking wildly, his face turned pale with fright, his mind was restless, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
The thought flashed through the hall to report that Wang Lin was coming.
Wang Lin hurriedly came: "Oh no." ”
In a word, it is a prophecy! Zhang An's body was numb, and he blurted out first: "Jiannan Dao has been killed?" ”
Wang Lin was stunned by what he said, and he was so frightened that he almost forgot what he was going to say, and stomped his feet when he came back to his senses: "The fake king treacherously set up a fake Chinese army camp, and Xiang Dudu was besieged. ”
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, Zhang An's face turned paler, and the hall was buzzing.....
Xiangye Cui Zheng's face did not change, and asked, "How is Xiang Dudu?" ”
Wang Lin swallowed his saliva and said, "Governor Xiang is fine, but Governor Xiang has transferred 30,000 troops from Linzhou!" ”
Zhang An was taken aback: "How can you let him transfer 30,000 troops!" So what should I do in Linzhou? ”
Wang Lin shouted injustice: "His messenger has the Dragon Banner Holy Order in his hand, and the Linzhou army is mobilized by him, I can't stop him at all, let him come to see Your Majesty, the soldier only said that the war is urgent, please forgive me and can't see the king......'s order."
At this time, they realized that they originally thought that they were fighting in the chamber, but in fact, the soldiers and horses of Linzhou were all in Xiang Yun's hands, which was really hateful!
The two of them drowned out the buzz in the hall with a word, making the noise even more chaotic.
A eunuch led a soldier in: "Your Majesty, the Governor is not trapped, just in the air, please rest assured, although the Governor is in the air, An Qingzhong is also led out, and the victory or defeat has not yet been decided!" ”
Zhang An said angrily: "Since you have already pounced in the air, it is right to return to defense quickly, why do you still want to pursue?" Linzhou soldiers and horses are transferred, what should I do if I am attacked by sneak attack? ”
The letter soldier ignored him, and only said to the emperor: "The governor said that this battle can be determined by success or failure, if there is no war, returning to the defense will cause chaos in the army's mind, and only war can make Linzhou safe." ”
He said and prostrated heavily.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the governor said that with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of the Southeast Province to help, this battle will be won."
Zhang An Wang Lin only said that it was ridiculous, the other courtiers in the palace were buzzing and gossiping, and the emperor lost his soul in front of the dragon chair.....
Xiangye Cui Zheng was determined: "No one knows the war better than Xiang Dudu, who is in it, everything is up to him!" ”
With Xiangye making a judgment, the emperor sat down with peace of mind, stopped the chaos of the ministers in the palace, and ordered the believers to go by themselves.
The messenger saluted no longer hesitate and hurried away.
The deliberations in the palace also dispersed, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were busy, and they were restless in Shoulinzhou.
After Cui Zheng finished admonishing Zhang An and Wang Lin, he said in a low voice: "Urge Han Xu again, ask where the reinforcements from Jiannan Dao are going?" ”
Zhang An Wang Lin hurriedly went with a white face, and here Cui Zheng turned around and saw the emperor who had retreated from the dynasty coming out again.
"Xiangye, at a critical juncture, I'd better go to the barracks and sit down." He said.
When the troops were just transferred, the emperor went to the barracks, and was later persuaded by Cui Zheng to come back, and now the situation is urgent, and the emperor naturally can't sit still in the palace.
"It's fine." Cui Zheng didn't stop him, he thought of something and pointed to the side hall, "But please wait a moment, Your Majesty has already finished reading the Song Folds of the previous days, please go to the barracks after Your Majesty Zhu approves them, and the next Song Folds will be sent to the barracks when the time comes." ”
The emperor said hello and walked back to the side hall, Cui Zheng asked people to take a thick stack of concerto, handed it to the emperor on one side, and counted it on the other.
"The number is wrong." He said, rummaging through the box, "Two are missing." ”
The eunuch looked uneasy: "That's all there is on the table." ”
The other eunuch immediately wanted to look for it again, and Cui Zheng said, "I'll go find it, so as not to delay time." ”
The emperor reassured: "Xiangye is not in a hurry, just send it to the military camp in a while." ”
Cui Zheng responded that he asked the emperor to look at these first, he went to look for them, and if he found them, he sent them, and if he couldn't find them, he sent them to the barracks another day.
Cui Zheng left, and there were only two little eunuchs left in the hall, one of them was grinding ink and the other was sorting out the recitals approved by the emperor, which was quiet and smooth, and it was quickly completed.
The emperor got up: "Let's go, go to the barracks quickly." ”
Without waiting for the two little eunuchs, he arrived at the door, the winter weather was cold, the materials in Linzhou were scarce, and the charcoal fire in the palace was tense, in order to keep warm, the doors and windows were closed, and a thick curtain was added.
The two little eunuchs were pretending to play in a panic behind, and the emperor himself reached out to lift the curtain and pull the door, but the door was not opened, and when he pulled it again, there was a door lock outside the door......
The emperor was stunned and incredulous, and then pulled hard, and the two sturdy palace doors slammed, and the lock was exposed in the gap that was opened, bright, thick and strong.
The emperor shouted: "Heavens! 2k reading network
