Chapter 82 Dispatch of Troops
Xiao Qingyun accompanied Lan Jing'an to live a short period of comfortable life like a fairy couple in Xiangyang City. Since Lan Jing'an opened the heart knot, his body has obviously recovered a lot, which makes Xiao Qingyun and everyone feel a lot relieved.
Although Lan Jing'an agreed to marry Xiao Qingyun, considering that he estimated that he would return to Qingzhou soon, and he would have to recuperate in Xiangyang City for a while, and he would go to Jiangling once after that, she hoped to wait until she went from Jiangling to Qingzhou before getting married. Xiao Qingyun is headed by his Ahri in everything, so naturally there is nothing to discourage.
Moreover, the marriage of the two is not a trivial matter, and it will not only be widely publicized in the places occupied by the cadres and troops, but will also cause shocks in various parts of Kyushu. Especially after Xiao Qingyun ordered people to spread Lan Jing'an's proverbs, none of the princes and rebels in Kyushu did not want to capture Lan Jing'an, and the news of the marriage of the two was equivalent to announcing to everyone that Xiao Si ordered Lan Jing'an not only to live well, but also to stand on Xiao Qingyun's side from now on to help him become the overlord of the world. Xiao Qingyun naturally needs to arrange it well to prevent others from destroying it.
Lan Jing'an, you and I are here, but Yankang Emperor Yu Wen Moyuan, who is in Yonghua City over there, was so angry that he dropped his cup. When he heard that Lan Jing'an had not only escaped from Si Li, but even arrived in Jingzhou, he was already furious. When he learned that the cadres stationed in Xiangyang, under the leadership of Xiao Qingyun, had defeated the Fancheng naval army on the Han River and captured Lan Jing'an, he was even more angry and scolded.
He couldn't wait to immediately send someone to encircle and suppress Xiangyang City, kill Xiao Qingyun, and then take Lan Jing'an back. The scout who was kneeling on the ground trembled, and in the end, it was Wu Daoming who stopped Yuwen Moyuan in a rage and calmed him down. Wu Daoming made Yuwen Moyuan look up to him because of his meritorious contributions. Later, he was repeatedly instructed to discuss his views on the current situation in private. Wu Daoming also has a gully in his chest, and the head of analysis is the Tao.
Yuwen Moyuan felt that the Zhao Guogong Mansion was currently too strong, and because he was in charge of the army, he was already a little tied by him, he was afraid that if he continued to develop, he would really want the dictatorship of his relatives, and there was nothing to do with him Yuwen Moyuan. This is something that he will never allow to happen as an emperor. However, the other military attachés are not far behind the current general Zhao Hu in terms of qualifications and level, and the only outstanding military talents in Dayong at the moment are Ruyang Wang Yuwen Junping, Hussar General Xiao Meng, and Wei General Luan Biao.
But one of these three people is the prince king, Yuwen Moyuan has suffered the loss of King Qingzhou Ding, and he has to be wary of King Ruyang, and he does not dare to release military power to him. And Xiao Meng was guarding the northwest front, not only to resist the attack of the cadres led by Wan Mingde, but also to prevent the Huns from coming in from the north, and there was no time to care. As for General Wei Luan Biao, not to mention that he is responsible for the safety of the imperial capital and Si Li, he can't be easily let go to the front line, he is also related to Zhao Hu, and it is basically impossible to support him and Zhao Hu to confront each other.
Yuwen Moyuan turned his attention to Wu Daoming, this person has brains, is good at franchises, once served as the Grand Sima of the Qianguo, and is quite familiar with marching and fighting. Although he has no integrity, his ability is not small. It's just that there were too many soldiers and horses in Dayong and Xia back then, and Qianguo lived a comfortable life for too long, so even if he had great ability, he couldn't turn the tide, so he avoided the difficulty of destroying the country.
And Wu Daoming is the most worried now, on the one hand, he is afraid that Yuwen Moyuan will punish him for his old affairs with Yuwen Mochi, and on the other hand, he is not dead and wants to take another step forward. Such a person is the best target for Yuwen Moyuan, and he did not hesitate to choose Wu Daoming as the gun to fight against Zhao Hu.
Yuwen Moyuan asked Wu Daoming to concurrently serve as General Weikou, which was the first person in the DPRK to hold both civil and military positions. Yuwen Moyuan also promised that if he did well, he would even be promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry, and it would be possible to be more than the third duke. Wu Daoming thanked the emperor for his kindness, he didn't expect Yuwen Moyuan to be able to give him the military power regardless of his previous suspicions. He felt that there was hope for his future again.
Yuwen Moyuan is not finished, and he sent Yuwen Mochi, the king of Xiling, to Wu Daoming as his deputy. Yuwen Mochi once conspired with Wu Daoming to do many things, and even tried in vain to subvert Yuwen Moyuan, who was still the prince, but now the two are on the same page because of Wu Ziji's marriage, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
Yuwen Moyuan only dared to make such arrangements after hearing that Yuwen Mochi beat Wu Ziji to a miscarriage and could no longer conceive a child. He, Emperor Yan Kang, after killing Yuwen Moqian, the eldest brother, also needs to win over the remaining brothers to settle people's hearts. And the sixth brother Yuwen Mochi, who had an old grudge against him but had already surrendered, became the best candidate.
Although Wu Daoming and Yuwen Mochi are not on good terms with each other, they also have a deep hatred for Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an, and they will never allow Xiao Qingyun to annex Dayong. Otherwise, Xiao Qingyun would kill the two of them first. Therefore, Yuwen Moyuan just wants to make good use of the psychology of external unity and internal contradiction between these two people, and sweep away Xiao Qingyun for him as soon as possible.
Wu Daoming advised Yuwen Moyuan not to attack Jingzhou now. On the contrary, while Xiao Qingyun was in Xiangyang, the Qingzhou cadres had no owner, and Zhao Hu should be allowed to lead people to step up the capture of Qingzhou. If Xiao Qingyun can't rush back in time and Qingzhou is defeated, then Xiao Qingyun's main force will be completely annihilated, and it will not be too late to sweep Jingzhou again.
If Xiao Qingyun hurried back to command for Qingzhou, then Jingzhou was empty, and he could just take the opportunity to move south. And according to the Dayong soldiers of Fancheng, Lan Jing'an looks pale and in poor health, so Xiao Qingyun will probably not let her accompany her to Qingzhou, but leave her in Jingzhou to recuperate. In this way, he could lead his army to attack Xiangyang and recapture Lanjing'an again.
Yuwen Moyuan forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart and accepted Wu Daoming's suggestion. On the one hand, let Zhao Hu wave his army north to join the Jizhou army, and jointly attack the plain county of Qingzhou, so as to capture Linjiang to the east. Strive to take advantage of Xiao Qingyun's absence to destroy his main force in Linjiang.
On the other hand, he ordered Ruyang Wang Yuwen Junping to cooperate with Wu Daoming, unite the defenders of Nanyang, Yingchuan, Chenliu and other counties, plus 30,000 people brought over from Sili, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses, secretly assemble in the direction of Jingzhou, and be ready to attack Jingzhou at any time.
Among this batch of soldiers and horses, Yuwen Moyuan also threw several younger brothers who were fiefdoms in Jingzhou into the army, and the typical representative of them was Yuwen Mochi. His fiefdom was in Xiling, but before he could start eating, Xiling in Jingzhou was occupied by Xiao Qingyun's cadres. He didn't get a day's benefits, so he could only stay in Yonghua City honestly, trembling and begging for a living under Yuwen Moyuan.
Yuwen Moyuan took this opportunity to recruit the private soldiers of these younger brothers to enter the front line of resistance to the cadre army, although the number was not large, but it was better than nothing. And these princes are fighting for their own future, so they will definitely do their best. As for what kind of damage Lan Jing'an will suffer in the war, it is already the second place that Yuwen Moyuan has to consider. He repeatedly told Wu Daoming to let him save Lan Jing'an's life, but if Lan Jing'an dared to resist like he did last time on the Han River, and let her be injured and captured, Yuwen Moyuan would also accept it.
