Chapter 220: Soldiers Coming to Boping
In the face of the fierce debate between the main surrender faction and the main battle faction, Sun Yi lost his opinion and had a headache.
At this time, Duwu County ordered Yan Tao to stand up: "Young envoy, I have something to say!"
"Speak!"
The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Yan Tao and listened to what he said.
Yan Tao gave a deep salute, raised his head and said: "Young Envoy Jun, the one that Ning Ze relies on, the Futu Army is also! The Futu armor is invulnerable, invulnerable to water and fire, and it is difficult to hurt it, so it is not invincible." The lower officials know the method of breaking the floating slaughter army, and if it is not for the small number of soldiers, they will be able to hold Duwu. If the young envoy uses my method to train the soldiers, he can defeat Ningze with a large army and recapture the occupied county town!"
"Oh?" Sun Yi's eyes lit up, "Is this true?"
"The official sentence is true, don't dare to deceive the young envoy!"
"How can I break the Floating Armor?"
"Just train the Long Hook Army, and you will be victorious!"
......
On the other hand, Ning Ze was very satisfied when he learned that Wang Wei, Ding Mu, and Dewey had successively taken the city within the specified time.
The battle reports were also sent to Huajun immediately.
Then the flying pigeon sent a message to the three parties, ordering them to march to Boping at the same time.
In the direction of Guangping County, Sun Jun sent troops to respond to Ning Ze.
So Wang Wei hurried to attack Boping, Dewey quickly rushed to Funing, Ding Mu set out from Kangjun, and approached Boping County from different directions with Ning Ze.
Knowing that Ning Ze's army was attacking Boping, Sun Yi ordered Yan Tao to train the Long Hook Army as soon as possible, hoping to create an opportunity to turn the tables and defeat Ning Ze to recapture the counties of Liangzhou.
Yan Tao asked the strategist Chu Hong to help him with all his strength and pay close attention to training.
Ning Ze's soldiers and horses came from all over the country, and it took at least a month to arrive. On Kangjun's side, Ding Mu would definitely not attack first, and would definitely wait for Ning Ze's military order.
Although it may not be possible to train the Long Hook Army in a month, it can hold on to the city, and try to master the essence while using the city wall to resist Ning Ze's soldiers and horses to delay time.
The front-line military intelligence was transmitted back to Huajun, and it was learned that Ning Ze had captured the six counties of Liangzhou, and had unexpectedly taken the land of the two counties of Jiangzhou, and had surrounded Sun Yi and was ready to eliminate him in one fell swoop, and the civil and military officials were jubilant.
Liu Yuanxiang, Mi Yan, and Chu Meiren were even more pleased.
If you take Liangzhou and Jiangzhou, you can occupy the land of the five states and get one-third of the world!
Chu Xun was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this son-in-law to be so strong.
Since his daughter had married him, he naturally had to plan for his son-in-law, so he stood up and saluted Liu Yuanxiang and said, "Lord, Ning Ze led the army to conquer and made miraculous achievements. The position of Zhonglang is not enough to show his merits!"
Liu Yuanxiang nodded when he heard this: "That's right! The military division almost commands the soldiers and horses of the four states, and the position of a lieutenant general in the army does not match his identity! It's just that the palace has no right to canonize the official position, and it is still necessary to ask the court to issue a decree." That Lu Cong is hostile to our army, and I am afraid that he will not agree. ”
Chu Xun said: "Lu Cong is currently focused on dealing with Lian Zhen, and wants to exterminate the traitors in order to boost his prestige and establish the legitimacy of Emperor Hui at the same time. Presumably, the other party will not be willing to tear his face with our army at this moment, resulting in the enemy on his back. The lord can boldly go to the table and ask Emperor Hui to decree that Ning Ze will be the general of the four-rank Wuwei, the king of Danyang and the governor of Jiangzhou. ”
"This ......" Liu Yuanxiang was slightly stunned, "General Wuwei, King of Danyang, Emperor Hui is afraid that it will not be allowed." What's more, the imperial court has not set up a state pastor for a long time, and now they are all assassins. Not to mention that Jiangzhou is not yet under our control. ”
Before Chu Xun could answer, Chu Meiren smiled and said, "Emperor Hui will definitely refuse to make the military division king, let alone give him the position of Sipin General." But at this time, he will not deliberately tear his face with us, not to mention that the military division is showing his strength in Liangzhou, and the other party must always pay attention. If it is expected to be good, the other party will take a step back, seal the army division as the Marquis of Danyang, and General Wupin will be used as a placateur to avoid a conflict at this moment and affect the overall situation. As for the state pastor, although this position has been replaced by the history of the assassin, it has not been completely eliminated, and it is not subordinate to the history of the assassin. If you can get the post of governor of Jiangzhou, you can justifiably conquer its land. Of course, the other party is afraid that he will not agree, and will only choose one of the three states of Jin, Han, and Cheng, and at least he will also be given the position of state pastor, so as not to control the state and county with a low position and provoke criticism from the outside world. ”
Chu Xun stroked his beard and nodded, this is what he thinks, his daughter knows himself best.
Liu Yuanxiang nodded when he heard this, and after thinking carefully, he said: "If this is the case, you should act quickly! Duke Chu, I bother you to personally draft the statement and send it to Chizhou!"
"Just hand it over to the old man!" Chu Xun gave up his hand, and then said, "Before the imperial court decrees, the lord can temporarily assume the position of the governor of Ningze and command the whole army. In this way, it can also convince the public. ”
Liu Yuanxiang immediately made a decision: "In the words of the Duke of Chu, he will be crowned as the governor of the capital, and he will also be the general of the army!"
The general of the military division is a miscellaneous general, and as Liu Yuanxiang, he can set up his own fief without asking the imperial court for orders.
So he sent a messenger to Liangzhou quickly, and informed Ning Ze in advance.
The intelligence officer sent the letter and learned that Liu Yuanxiang had been appointed governor of Ningze and a general of the military division, and his subordinates congratulated him one after another, and directly changed his words to "governor".
This governor is different from the metropolitan governor, who is a second-class member certified by the imperial court and the highest military commander in the country. Supervising the soldiers and horses of the whole country is extraordinary.
The Governor is a regional type, and he cannot be compared with the Metropolitan Governor, and can only be in charge of the soldiers and horses of a certain area.
It stands to reason that it is not possible to command the soldiers and horses of the four states.
But now in troubled times, in fact, many things will not follow the rules.
Liu Yuanxiang is controlling the territory more and more, even if this official position is made larger, Emperor Hui's side will not have much opinion. And this official position is not recognized, it is just their internal title, and it does not count if it is placed in the entire Dacheng.
In other words, this governor is just so that Ning Ze can exert his skills within Liu Yuanxiang's forces, and there will be no situation where low-level officials control high-level officials.
You must know that with Ning Ze's current identity, even the assassins of Jin, Han, and Cheng have to listen to his orders, and the lieutenant general of the Dianjun is only out of the middle of the miscellaneous generals and captains, which is a rather awkward position, not to mention the assassin history, even the position of Taishou is higher than him.
Even if no one raises objections so far, it will not change that he is a low-ranking official and commanding a high-ranking official position, which is not legal in the system.
Chu Xun's proposal to ask Emperor Hui for the throne, the general position, and even the state pastor was also to change this situation.
In any case, it has increased the legitimacy of Ning Ze's control of the soldiers and horses in various states.
When the envoy sent by Liu Yuanxiang arrived and delivered the official appointment documents and official seals to his hands, he could be regarded as truly taking office.
Of course, after the intelligence letter was delivered, the whole army had already preemptively changed its tune.
The only regret is that both the governor and the military general belong to the miscellaneous official positions that are not officially recognized in this world, so Ning Ze did not get the bonus of additional official attributes.
Continue the march, day and night, to the junction of Yiyang and Boping.
Sun Jun led the troops to converge, and when he saw Ning Ze, he immediately stepped forward: "Congratulations to the governor!"
With the flying pigeon biography, the news quickly spread to all the soldiers and horses, and of course Sun Jun knew.
Ning Ze smiled and said, "Fourth Prince is polite, I want to congratulate you too!"
"Where does the joy come from?" Sun Jun asked curiously.
"Now the nine counties of Liangzhou, Ning'an, Yiyang, Guangping, Jiuhua, Kang, and Shouyang have all been conquered, and only Changping, Boping, and Funing are left. To take Sun Yi, this position of Liangzhou Assassin is none other than the fourth son!" Ning Ze said with a smile.
Sun Jun was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's all thanks to the governor!
"Now that the soldiers are in Boping, can the fourth prince be ready?" Ning Ze asked, "Next, I will fight with the second prince Sun Yi to determine the winner!"
"With the governor here, why can't you win?" Sun Jun said with a smile.
"Let's go, it's time to go to Boping to meet your second brother!"
"Whoa!"
......
Boping County.
"Report ——!" The scout ran back in a panic and knelt down on one knee, "Ning Ze and Sun Jun are in one place, just fifty miles north of Boping City, and they are still approaching!"
The civil and military officials in the hall were slightly flustered when they heard this.
"It's finally here!" Sun Yi took a deep breath, "Let's explore again." ”
"Whoa!"
The scout left, and Sun Yi looked at Yan Tao: "Yan County Order!"
"Xia Guan is here!" Yan Tao hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, clenched his fists and bowed.
"Ning Ze's soldiers and horses have arrived, how is the training progress of the Long Hook Army?"
"Young envoy!" Yan Tao replied, "Our army is training the Long Hook Army day and night, and now it has achieved some success. It's just that it will take time to get into battle. ”
"Ning Ze has already called, and it won't give you too much time. Sun Yi said, "Give me training as soon as possible, so that the Long Hook Army can be formed as soon as possible." ”
"Whoa!"
Ning Ze's soldiers and horses continued to advance, and finally arrived at Boping County, stationed ten miles outside the north gate, and sent people to shout.
The two of them led a small number of guards to the city gate, and shouted loudly to the top: "Under the command of Princess Dacheng Yuanxi, the governor, the general, and the general of the army, I advise you to open the door and surrender immediately!
After shouting several times in a row, the castle guard gave the order to shoot arrows.
Xiang Rong and Xiang Yan immediately withdrew to the camp and reported to Ning Ze.
Ning Ze personally went out on horse, led the troops to advance, stopped at a certain position from the city gate, outside the effective range of the opponent's bow and arrow, and rode on the horse to look up at the defenders of the city.
When the city gate guard saw Ning Ze coming in person, he felt a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly sent someone to report back.
Sun Yi was worried about the loss, and personally led the civil and military officials to the city gate and climbed the city wall.
The two sides looked at each other, and Sun Yi condescendingly shouted: "Ning Ze, you pretend to be an official of Dacheng, and attack your colleagues without authorization, this is the crime of rebellion! Why don't you retreat quickly?"
"Second brother's words are wrong!" Sun Jun rode forward and raised his head and shouted, "My father died, and my second brother seized power by unscrupulous means, causing my brothers to kill each other! If my father has a spirit in heaven, he will be angry at what the second brother has done!"
"Shut up!" Sun Yi said angrily, "You don't respect your brother, you commit the following crimes, and you also attract outsiders to meddle in the affairs of the Sun family, if your father has a spirit in the sky, he will be ashamed of you!"
Sun Jun was also a little angry, and shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! Second brother dares to go out of the city to fight?"
"Hmph! This official disdains to fight with you. Sun Yi snorted coldly, "If there is a kind of attack, let's see who will kill the deer!"
"Dudu!" Sun Jun turned to Ning Ze, "I will ask for a battle below." ”
"Don't worry!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "Let's camp outside the city today to rest and recover our strength." Tomorrow I will recuperate and attack the city again!"
"Whew!" Sun Jun nodded respectfully.
