568. The Empress, the Empress (14)
After leading the troops to capture the border cities of the Sui State, Lian Yin immediately deployed his troops and sent his troops to start cleaning up the remaining citymen in the city.
For the citizens who were leaving, Lian Yin opened the gate on one side and let the citizens leave. And for those who didn't leave, Lian Yin also spoke and accepted them as the people of Beiliang. As long as they don't stir up trouble and don't cause trouble, she guarantees that they can live and work in peace.
On the one hand, to stabilize the problem of the city's people, she ordered the army to rest in place for a day, and the next day the army would assemble and then march to the territory of Sui.
Knowing that Lian Yin was going to directly attack the Sui State, half of the several partial generals disagreed.
"General, we have captured the border of the Sui State this time, and the soldiers have been exhausted for several months, and now the new city is not stable, and it will be difficult to maintain it if we continue to attack!"
"Yes, General. Our soldiers who are blind also suffer many casualties, so we should give some time for the wounded soldiers to recover. ”
“……”
Lian Yin looked at the generals who had advised her, and was not in a hurry to speak, and then turned her gaze to Shen Fang.
Shen Fang received Lian Yin's eyes, and after thinking about it, he stood up and asked her: "General, the last general doesn't know, what is the purpose of the general's move?" ”
Lian Yin thought, this should be the difference between henchmen.
Even if Shen Fang actually didn't agree with the fight anymore, but because there were already so many people who opposed it, he couldn't oppose it anymore, and he had to take into account her thoughts, so he wanted to get her explanation. It also created a step for her to say what she wanted to say. Answering after being asked is a little higher than explaining it yourself.
Legato is very satisfied with the sinking lining.
"It's just that taking a city in the Sui State doesn't have much of a deterrent effect at all. Sui Guoguo is strong, if he doesn't take advantage of this time to completely hurt the other party and beat them to peace, they will definitely fight back afterwards. And, it must have been a lot less time than we needed. ”
Lian Yin's eyes were firm: "This battle is not only fought for this moment, but also for a hundred years of peace." Generals, can you understand what I say? ”
Of course I understand.
Several generals looked at each other, and I have to say that Lian Yin was right.
The state of Sui was stronger than that of Northern Liang, and if they were not afraid, the state of Sui would definitely fight back soon.
"I also know what the generals are worried about. The two countries are at war, and the lives are devastated, and it is not only the common people who suffer, but also the soldiers who sacrifice their lives on the battlefield. So I assure you once again that I will minimize casualties. ”
Several generals didn't know what to say for a while, so they could only stare at the legato in a daze.
The first to kneel on one knee was Shenfang.
"The last general is calm, and he swears to follow the general to the death!" Calm and firm.
The others who were biased by him immediately came back to their senses, and they also followed Shen Fang, and they all marked their loyalty to Lianyin.
Since he is already a general of the Northern Liang, he naturally has the idea of making contributions.
This battle was not only to get the peace of the border of Northern Liang, but also to worship their feudal marquis.
got the desired result, Lian Yin's eyes finally fell on Shen Fang, and when he raised his head with a feeling, Lian Yin smiled at him.
Shen Fang was stunned for a while.
……
The Northern Liang army continued to penetrate deep into the territory of the Sui State, and a month later, besieged the Sui border Wacheng.
This battle lasted for several months, and finally because the water source of Wacheng was cut off, he had no choice but to give up resistance and open the city gate to surrender.
The second city was taken, and the court of the Sui State was shaken.
The emperor of Sui threw away the notebook on the spot in anger, and immediately assigned two veteran generals to lead the troops to the battle, and they must drive the Northern Liang army out of the Sui realm.
Not only that, but Emperor Sui added another article hatefully, asking to capture the general of Northern Liang alive, He Ruolianyin.
The shame of losing two cities in a row, he must let the other party Beiliang take a good look.
On the other side, the Northern Liang was facing upwards, and when the good news was handed to the Empress He Ruomin, He Ruomin was not as happy as the other ministers.
After reading the book repeatedly, she frowned and said, "This battle has been going on for many months, and the soldiers have been killed and wounded countless times. How many people have lost their fathers, husbands, and sons in their families. Lian Yin didn't want to stop, could it be that she wanted to push all the men in Beiliang to the battlefield? I knew that this was the case, and I really shouldn't have sent her to lead the troops in the first place. ”
Half of the courtiers were stunned, they didn't expect the empress to speak like this.
This is a victory, not a defeat. Moreover, this battle is unavoidable, and now it is said that there are countless casualties, if the Sui army enters the country and slaughters all the way, what should be said?
The courtiers who had already supported Lianyin wanted to say a fair word for Lianyin, but before they could be listed, they were stopped by Li Zhongming and Wang Xu.
These two adults looked at it clearly, what worried about the life and death of the man, the empress said this, but she didn't want to give Lianyin a gong, so she deliberately said this in public.
There was silence in the court for a moment, until a minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess's convoy has entered the territory, and it will arrive at the imperial city in a few days." ”
The empress's complexion brightened at this time.
Wang Xu and Li Zhongming glanced at each other, and they all saw the words in each other's eyes, this is the reason why the empress deliberately said that Lianyin was not, and the eldest prince was going to come back.
The timing of coming back was just right, and the excuse for coming back was also used well, knowing that Northern Liang was at war with the Sui State, he was worried about the empress's comfort, and deliberately returned to China to protect the empress.
Oh, the empress of the Northern Liang, who has the forbidden army of the Northern Liang to protect her, when do you need to turn her back on the Northern Liang, turn her back on the royal identity, and swear that she will never step into the Northern Liang again when she leaves, and run back to guard?
And, eldest princess? When did this identity come back to it?
The empress was immersed in the joy of the eldest princess's imminent return to the court, when Lord Wang Xu suddenly stood up and interrupted the empress's joy: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”
"Say."
"It's a battle report from the front line, and now that our army is gaining momentum, Princess Lianyin wants to take the opportunity to go down to the Sui Kingdom again, hoping that Your Majesty can order to send troops to reinforce it."
The empress's brows immediately furrowed, it was really a pot that could not be opened.
"Now that she has gone down to the two cities of the Sui Kingdom, isn't it enough to stop her ambitions? Do you have to provoke the Sui State to become successful? The empress couldn't help but say what was in her heart.
The people below were terrified when they heard this.
Wang Xu didn't seem to be able to hear the annoyance in the empress's words, and still said: "Princess Lianyin's move is also to ensure the peaceful and prosperous future of Northern Liang, so that the Sui State will be timid and dare not make trouble again." Moreover, although the Sui State is strong, it can also be seen that the Sui army is still deficient in leading troops to fight. Taking this as an opportunity, the Sui army will definitely collapse in three cities. "It's the so-called repeated, three-and-out.
He arched his hand, seemingly humble, but with a tough attitude, and asked the empress to give an order.
In the court, it instantly fell into a stalemate.
