Chapter 315: Vicious Methods
After the emperor regained control of the government, he had the support of the public losers, and many panicked officials became active again, especially the public losers intervened in the court roaring, providing grain, grass and weapons, and supporting the imperial army to conquer the king of Ning'an.
At the beginning of the tentative stage, both sides won and lost, and although the officials were anxious, they were still stable in the end. It's just that the news that came back next made the entire court boil, and the snowflakes that participated in the more cold music flew to the imperial case.
In the main hall, the emperor Yue Jingyun violently flipped the fold to the ground, and his face turned red with anger, and his fingers trembled slightly: "It's a defeat, it's still a big defeat!" The more Xiaohan it is, I thought you could endure a lot, but I didn't expect it to be so useless! β
At the door, Zhaoqing lowered his hand and came to report: "Your Majesty, the head of the public loser family is asking to see you." β
"Announce him in!" For the sake of the loser's buying brain, he agreed to let Yue Xiaohan lead the troops, but he didn't expect to get this result, hum!
After Gong Yibo entered the door, he saw the scattered pieces all over the ground, and his eyes moved slightly: "See the emperor." β
"You came just in time, you should have heard about Yunnan, what do you think?" Yue Jingyun spoke angrily.
"Your Majesty, King Ning'an is cunning, winning or losing for a while doesn't mean anything, please don't be impatient, don't worry too much about it, so as not to hurt the dragon body."
Yue Jingyun's face calmed down a little, and after experiencing the pain of being unable to take charge of the government and politics before, what he cared about most at this time was his body: "Hearing you say this, it seems that you have other plans?" β
"Back to the emperor, Gong Yiheng is still in the army, and the strong bow and crossbow he developed are hugely powerful, as long as he waits for the right time, he can attack Yunli City in one fell swoop, and then he can capture King Ning'an and quell this turmoil."
"Yunli City is the center of the entire Yunnan, and it is guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops around, so what you think is too simple."
"Back to the emperor, if you take a strong attack and directly hit the hard, it is indeed not easy, I am afraid that there will be huge casualties, but Yunli City has a natural weakness, which can be used by us."
Yue Jingyun's eyes lit up: "Let's hear it." β
"Yunli City is built on the Min River, most of the people in the whole city drink the water of the Min River, if we have a way to divert the Min River, then the entire Yunnan army will have no water available, then only need to besiege them for a few days, no need to do more, you can defeat yourself."
Yue Jingyun's expression became cold: "I thought you could have a good way, but now it seems to be just whimsical, have you ever seen the Minjiang River?" The river is devastating, the vast and immense, the water flow in the steep place is agitated, and it is thousands of miles in an instant, even if you have great ability, it is impossible to directly intercept the Min River and divert it. β
"Returning to the emperor, it is not a whimsical, but a conclusion drawn after carefully studying the water conservancy map. Yunli City has a special geographical location, close to Chuxiong and Yuxi City, at the junction of the three places, there is a section that flows through the Minshan Canyon, the two sides of the canyon protrude into the form of an arch bridge, across the Minjiang River, if you find a way to chisel the two mountain cliffs, the mountains and rocks roll, enter the Minjiang River will definitely be able to intercept the mountains and rivers, and then you can open a hole in the east, and the rolling Minjiang River water will directly pour into Yuxi City, when the time comes, you can not only make Yunli City have no water available, but also destroy Yuxi City, killing two birds with one stone. β
"Bring me the water map!"
Zhaoqing hurriedly went down to deliver the decree, and after a short time, the people from the Ministry of Engineering entered the hall with the water conservancy map.
Gong Yibo carefully pointed to the water conservancy map and said his previous thoughts again.
Yue Jingyun looked at it carefully for a long time, and the look on his face became brighter and brighter: "Ministry of Works, do you think this plan is feasible?" β
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu nodded again and again: "Your Majesty, this law is very good, if it is used well, it will definitely be able to greatly damage the vitality of the Yunnan rebels, and then you can take the opportunity to wipe it out." β
"Good!" Yue Jingyun was overjoyed, "It's just that this matter is very important, who is the best person in the court to do this?" β
Gong Yibo's eyes moved: "How does the emperor look at Lord Li?" β
"You mean Li Jing?"
"Yes, Lord Li has led the troops for many years and has rich battlefield experience, so I really can't think of a more suitable candidate than him."
Yue Jingyun nodded: "Okay, immediately issue an order to announce Li Jing's entry into the palace to face the saint." β
On the battlefield of Yunnan, Yue Jingxuan took advantage of the high morale of the army to attack the imperial army one after another, forcing the imperial army to retreat back fifty miles, directly out of the territory of Yunnan, causing the people to cheer. During this period of time, I was worried all day long, and now that I have driven the enemy army out of the border of Yunnan, I can finally sleep with peace of mind.
Everything was ready, Yue Jingxuan no longer tolerated it, and finally raised the butcher's knife, and attacked mercilessly, defeating the imperial army one after another, capturing and killing tens of thousands of people.
Mu Yunlan entered the camp tent: "Uncle Huang, can the craftsmen understand the strong bow and crossbow?" β
"I dismantled the two, the principle is understood, but there are some problems with the mechanism spring, I don't know what kind of craftsmanship the public loser is forged, it will take some time to imitate, I plan to order the summoning of the world's talents, after all, one person counts the short, three people count the long, maybe someone can design a weapon more powerful than a strong bow and crossbow."
"Okay, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, maybe you can really attract some talented people."
Yue Jingxuan put down the book in his hand and said something else: "Yun Lan, I have a conjecture these days. β
"Huh? What conjecture? β
"Yue Xiaohan has always said that my fiancΓ©e, that is, the concubine of the Wei family, is still alive, if what he said is true, I suspect that Xiao Mingyin is Wei Yin!" Yue Jingxuan had been thinking about this matter, and finally decided to tell Mu Yunlan to save her from annoying her in the future.
"Xiao Mingyin? Isn't she from the Xiao family in Jiangnan? β
"I don't know, but it's not too difficult to investigate, and now that she's in the army, just call someone out and ask."
Mu Yunlan shook her head: "Uncle Huang, there is no rush in advance, since we have roughly guessed Xiao Mingyin's identity, let's take a look at what she wants to do, if we directly debunk her, maybe Yue Xiaohan will come up with other strategies to deal with us, and it will be even more difficult to prevent it at that time." β
"It's okay," Yue Jingxuan tapped lightly on the table, "According to my imperial brother's temperament, in the next two days, the holy decree of the imperial court will be delivered, and Yue Xiaohan's position as the commander is afraid that he will not be able to sit steadily, but I don't know who will be replaced." β
"It's not a good idea to change generals on the spot, the emperor shouldn't replace people so quickly, right?"
"Yue Jingyun won't take care of this, all he thinks about now is how to win the battle and get out of the evil breath in his heart."
Thinking of Yue Jingyun's consistent style, Mu Yunlan couldn't help but shake her head: "I really can't understand how he has governed the country for so many years." β
It's just that in the next five or six days, the holy decree has not come down for a long time, and Yue Jingxuan's eyebrows are getting tighter and tighter.
In the account, Li Yuanzhou's expression was solemn: "Lord Wang, we have sent people to spread rumors in the imperial capital, saying that Yue Xiaohan was angry with the emperor's previous punishment of him, so he deliberately lost the war, and also specially lost the grain and grass, shaking the morale of the army, the people are talking about it, and the officials have also participated in it, but the emperor is still immovable, and it seems that he has special trust in him." β
This made them feel like they had punched the cotton, and they had no focus, and their next plans were also affected.
The light in Yue Jingxuan's eyes flowed: "According to what I know about Yue Jingyun, he definitely shouldn't react like this, unless he already has a perfect plan, and he can deal with us without using Yue Xiaohan." β
Tianshu walked quickly into the tent: "Master, a secret letter has been sent from the direction of the imperial capital. β
Yue Jingxuan opened the secret letter, saw the content of the letter clearly, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "Bring the map!" β
Tianxuan immediately unfolded the map, Yue Jingxuan looked at the location of the Min River flowing through the Min Mountain, and pointed his finger on the map fiercely: "What is the geology here?" β
Liang You stepped forward: "Lord Wang, when his subordinates were young, they used to travel along the Minjiang River, this place is steep, the Minjiang River flows very fast, the place that the prince refers to is called Huyaguan, here, the cliff protrudes from both sides, into an encircled state, if someone does something here, it is very likely to cut off the Minjiang River, when the time comes, the Minjiang River water gathers in the valley, it will not take long to form a body of water, once the embankment is broken, the low-lying Yuxi City will instantly become an ocean. β
Everyone just listened, and they felt cold sweat, if the court really fought this idea, they really couldn't guard against it.
Li Yuanzhou's face was full of anger: "Although it is said that the two armies are fighting at this time, the people of Yunnan are also the people of the Dayong Kingdom, how can the emperor be so indifferent to the life and death of the people?" β
"How can the people be as important as his imperial power?" Yue Jingxuan sneered, "If he could take care of the people a little, he wouldn't have lost the people's hearts by now." β
"Lord, now that we know what the imperial court is doing, we should take precautions as soon as possible, and there must be nothing wrong with the Minjiang Huya Pass!"
Yue Jingxuan nodded with a look: "Zhou Bing, you immediately take someone to guard the Huya Pass, if you find someone going up the mountain, you will not be spared, in addition, I will send craftsmen who understand water conservancy to explore the Huya Pass with you, and deal with the places that are easy to cause accidents little by little, and you must not let the court's strategy succeed." β
"Yes, lord."
"Li Yuanzhou and Zan Bi, the two of you led the troops to fight with the imperial court, attracting their attention head-on, Duan Qi, you led the troops to cut off their food and grass supply, I want to see if there is no such hundreds of thousands of troops, does the imperial court still have the heart to use those unsightly means!"
"Yes, lord."
Yue Jingxuan looked at Liang You: "Liang You, you are experienced, you lead people to ambush the people sent by the imperial court to Huya Pass, you don't have to be merciful, this time, this king has to completely beat the people of the court, so that they can know what regret is!" β
"Yes!"
