Section 64 Great Victory
readx;
"Don't be discouraged, the difficulties are only temporary, I expect that the Tang River Empire has run out of oil, and now it is just a return to the light, although we are temporarily withdrawing from Wenning, but we also give the Tang River Empire's army a profound lesson, the losses of their two legions are not smaller than ours, and if you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue, you have to weigh yourself carefully. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info I have ordered Bi Xiao to intercept the Fifth Army of the Tang River Empire in the north of Baling, but the enemy uses ships, I think the effect will not be too good, we still have to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise once the enemy is encircled, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to break through. Ya Ning's face was still calm, but there was a hint of anxiety between his words.
"Damn the Taiping Sect people, they actually violated the covenant and stood still, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, one day I will let them suffer the consequences!" Lei Juetian said hatefully, and then turned his head and asked, "Are we ready here?"
"Don't worry, my lord, it has already been arranged, we have people in and outside the city, and everything will be under our control. Ya Ning nodded knowingly, knowing what the Secretary of State meant.
"Well, pull away what can be pulled, especially the grain in the granary, must be transported away first, and what can't be pulled should not be damaged. Lei Juetian stepped out of the gate and reluctantly looked around at the bleak appearance on the street before he said in a tone full of sorrow: "We will come back, we will definitely come back." β
With the westward withdrawal of the Maqi Khan's army, the vanguard of the Sixth and Seventh Army Corps of the Empire marched eastward, and on May 22, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the city of Wenning was recovered. This exciting news immediately spread to the surrounding area as quickly as possible, and the Sixth and Seventh Army Corps did not hesitate to report to the Emperor [***] with beautiful words how the Emperor's [***] team worked together and fought bloodily for countless days and nights, defeated the army of more than 100,000 Ma Qi Khan, and finally recaptured Wenning Mansion.
On May 24, the four corps of Maqi Khan, who had been marching day and night, rushed all the way, and finally crossed the great river of heaven between Wenning and Baling before the Fifth Army of the Empire, which was heading south. In the face of the mobile and flexible Imperial Naval Fleet with a strong long-range strike force, the Maqi Khans used various means, even with flesh and blood to set up a blockade to intercept it, which finally slowed down the march of the Fifth Army of the Empire and won valuable time for the four corps returning from Wenning West.
On May 25, the whole territory of Wenning was restored, and the empire's Shuanglong Opera Pearl Flag was replanted in various parts of the city and countryside.
"Bloody Battles for Three Days and Nights, Willing to Sacrifice Spring and Autumn with Blood!--Battlefield Documentary of the Seventh Army," "Forward and Successive, Courageously Leading--Ode to the Fifth Army of the Empire," "Treating Each Other with All Sincerity, Sharing Honor and Disgrace -- The Sixth Army of the Empire Battlefield Collection" A large number of articles with the surname of the documentary were immediately published in the news media in Yanjing and all parts of the empire at the fastest speed, this series of articles with extremely negative sensational surnames greatly inspired the morale of the people of the entire empire, and almost the enthusiasm of the entire empire was mobilized, from Yanyun to Jiangnan, from the East China Sea to Zhongzhou, a large number of people spontaneously took to the streets, held parades and rallies to celebrate the victory of this historical surname, for more than a year, the sullen breath held in the hearts of the people was swept away, and the businessmen put up their lights one after another, greatly reduced the price and let the blood be sold, and the local political axe even directly announced a three-day holiday to celebrate this great victoryγ
At the same time, the hoarders of grain merchants complained bitterly, and the price of grain fell sharply, from one silver coin and six copper coins per liter to eight copper coins per liter before Wen Ning's recovery, and wheat fell from one silver coin and two copper coins per liter to six copper coins per liter. Everyone is predicting when the imperial army will regain Baling and Jiujiang, and the price of grain will naturally return to the original price, and some grain merchants who can't make up their minds have begun to open warehouses to sell grain, and the steady decline in grain prices has also made the people even more happy.
While the whole country was celebrating the recovery of Wenning, some people couldn't sit still. In a mansion two hundred meters south of Yanyun County's Shoufu in Beiping Mansion, the capital of Yanyun County, Situ Tai was pacing back and forth in the hall anxiously, and several people in the chair at the bottom were impressive.
"Tell me, what should we do now? My father has recovered, the third and seventh have achieved a great victory in Wuhu, the empire has received rave reviews, the ninth has been gone, there is no sound at all, I think it's time for us to change our strategy?" Situ Tai is indeed a little angry, his father's holy decree is still in his hand, and the fierceness of the words is unprecedented, and look at these various newspapers, which one is not singing praises for the third and seventh children, seeing that the ninth has lost power, the position of the prince depends on himself and the third and seventh children, if he does not show any more, I am afraid that he will really be kicked out. How useful is it to preserve the strength, if the whole country unanimously supports the seventh or third, it will only be in vain if you have two more legions to help.
Seeing that their sovereign was a little out of shape, Zhao Chenghuai and Leng Qian couldn't help but exchange glances with a wry smile, the drastic changes in the situation in front of them were indeed a little unexpected to them, His Majesty the Emperor was surprisingly recovered and returned to the government, this is simply a miraculous feeling, didn't the imperial doctor definitely assert that he would not be able to survive this year? How could he suddenly be completely healed? The information that can be transmitted back from Yanjing does not show any suspicion here, the only thing that makes people suspicious is that the Forbidden Palace has strengthened its vigilance, and it is said that His Majesty the Emperor has invited foreign doctors to do some special treatment, could it be that he is using some methods to stimulate the potential to make His Majesty the Emperor temporarily recover? This question has been coiled in the minds of everyone here, but it can't be confirmed, and even if it is confirmed, there is nothing to be done, take the words of the sovereign, if the momentum of the third or seventh has been enough, even if His Majesty the Emperor is killed, his side is also at an absolute disadvantage, and it will be even more difficult to counterattack, after all, it is indeed impossible to compete with the whole empire with the power of one county.
"Your Highness, I see if we can observe it again, Lao Yu always feels that His Majesty's sudden recovery is a little suspicious, can you wait for the news from the palace to come before making a decision?" Leng Qian saw that Zhao Chenghuai was silent, so he had to persuade himself.
Exhaling a sullen breath, Situ Tai snorted, "Leng Lao, the situation is pressing, you have read the holy decree, my father is already extremely angry, if we don't show it again, I'm afraid that there will really be trouble, last time my father was already a little angry with Cheng Huai, if I disobey again, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Cheng Huai." β
Zhao Chenghuai's face changed slightly, of course he knew that his fate was attached to the person in front of him, if he let go, he was afraid that he would be crushed into powder immediately, but at this time, he didn't say much, it was worth secretly looking at Leng Qian next to him.
Leng Qian also knew that his sovereign was under pressure, and it seemed that His Royal Highness the Ninth was a little out of power at the moment, and it was no wonder that the sovereign's mind was already a little dead-hearted, and in the sovereign's opinion, he was the eldest son, and he had the strongest strength, so he could completely suppress the two brothers, why couldn't he take this opportunity to fight? No matter what, it was far better than staying in Yanyun and watching the situation, and if His Majesty the Emperor was really angry, I was afraid that it would be difficult to sit in this position now, and this had to be taken into account. But it is not easy to intervene in the war like this, it is not easy to get out, and it is not easy to replenish the army now, especially since His Majesty the Emperor is in power, I am afraid that the plan that he originally envisaged to take the opportunity to increase the army has come to naught, and Situ Lang has obviously strengthened his control over the newly built Third and Fourth Army Corps, and Situ Yuan has also taken the opportunity to obtain the right to form the Tenth Army Corps.
"Your Highness, I don't think it's as good as this, we can make preparations with both hands, first let the First Army prepare for war, and at the same time strengthen the pre-war reconnaissance and intelligence collection in Cangzhou, if there is still no news in the Yanjing Palace within three or five days, it is not too late for us to do anything about Cangzhou, but the preliminary work must be kept secret, and we must be silent. If there is anything wrong with Yanjing, then we will discuss it again. In addition, the northern border line should also be arranged, although the Poole people are very peaceful during this time, but they should not be taken lightly. Leng Qian made a compromise suggestion, "By the way, Your Highness, the envoy to the Dodon Kingdom has returned, and there is some progress, but the Dodon side is still very cautious, they don't want to be sure so early, and they ask that everything be kept out of the public for the time being, and the decision will be made after the situation in the empire stabilizes, it seems that they still want to see the wind." β
"Hmph, no matter where they are, they can't take care of that side for the time being, and it's difficult for them to play much role now, we still have our hearts set on solving the Cangzhou problem, Cheng Huai, are there any problems?" Situ Tai has long forgotten about the marriage sent to the Kingdom of Doton, and the most important thing at the moment is how to regain the favor and trust of his father, judging from the current situation, his father's reward for the third and seventh will soon come down, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to perform, I am afraid that he will not even be able to occupy a corner in his father's heart.
"At present, there are about 30,000 garrisons of the Taiping Sect in Cangzhou, and there are also 30,000 or 40,000 armed personnel, but it is difficult to estimate how high the combat effectiveness of these armed personnel is, maybe very poor, after all, they have not undergone formal training, and they have not participated in real wars, maybe they are not weak, and the Taiping Sect people still have a very good set of using religious superstition methods to fool people, and it is difficult to say once people are not afraid of death. Talking about military affairs, Zhao Chenghuai immediately came to his senses, and his tone suddenly stiffened, "But if Your Highness wants the First Legion to attack with all its might, I am sure that the Cangzhou war will be resolved within a week!"
