Chapter 447: Multi-Front Operations
No one could have imagined that the final plan of the two families for Donghai City would be aimed at Shi Yu and Xiang'er.
In the face of another cat, even if Han Zhongjing is easy to deal with alone, but Shi Yu and Xiang'er are in each other's hands, he can't help it.
The Liangzi of Xuanji Mountain and Qinghe Cui's family also took over.
Shen Jing, who returned to the Zhou Mansion, did not speak again after explaining the situation to Lin Wanzhao and the others, because he was worried about Shi Yu and Xiang'er.
Jiang Ning was already indignant after listening to Shen Jing's words, she was worried about Shi Yu and Xiang'er but also worried about Shen Jing.
Lin Wanzhao knew that she couldn't help Shen in these matters, so she had to untie the knot for him.
Looking at the silent Shen Jing, Lin Wanzhao said softly, "Lang Jun, don't worry too much, Sister Shi Yu has two seniors on her side, and she will be fine."
This was originally Shen Jing's words to comfort them, but now Lin Wanzhao comforted herself in turn.
When Shen Kuang heard this, he looked up at the three people who were looking at him worriedly, and suddenly Shen Kuang's heart warmed, revealing a faint smile.
"You don't have to worry about me, Cui's use of Shiyu and Xiang'er to blackmail Uncle Shi, in the end, don't dare to kill. What I'm most worried about is that the Cui family or the Gao family will reveal Shi Yu's identity to Nanliang in the future, and if that's the case, there will be trouble again."
When Jiang Ning heard this, he immediately said, "Don't worry, I will send a message to Pei Mu'er as soon as possible and ask her to keep an eye on these news in Jinling. And even if they take refuge in Nanliang in the future, Xiao Yan won't allow them to become big at will."
How sensitive Shi Yu's identity is, even now, Shen Guo is still not as clear as Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning's words are also hoping that Shen Jing will not be too worried.
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, Dugu Nanqiao, who had never spoken, said, "Then are you going to go directly to Luoyang in the future?"
This question was also what the other two wanted to know, so after Nan Qiao finished asking, the other two also stared at Shen Jing and waited for his answer.
Shen Jing nodded when he heard this, "That's all, but I'll slow down a little and wait for the situation on my uncle's side." If Master knew the news and took action, he wouldn't have to bother here."
If it weren't for Shen Jing, even Jiang Ning would have forgotten Li Chengren.
Jiang Ning actually asked his father what Li Chengren and Zhu Tan did after they captured that thing.
At that time, his father only told him that it was related to a prophecy from Xuanji Mountain, which was said to have been told to him by Li Chengren's master. As for the rest, my father only shook his head and said he didn't know.
If the Sword God seniors could make a move, these problems would naturally be solved, so hearing this, the three of them were also a little relieved.
So much happened that night, not just in the corner of Donghai City.
The news that the Xianbei Murong Department outside Jibei Pass bypassed Jibei Pass and went straight to Cangnan City did not know the news that the defenders of Jibei Pass did not know, but the next day, the defenders of Cangnan City rushed to Hou Jing who was sitting in Chentai for 800 miles, and when Hou Jing was overjoyed when he received the news, the news that Yulou City was conquered also came.
The defenders of Yulou City, including the main general Cao Xiuxiu, were not spared, and they were all ambushed.
As soon as the fish building was broken, Chen Tai was no longer in the way, and in comparison, Murong Xianbei, who went south, was not so important.
Xue Cunxiao's troops quickly gained a foothold after occupying Yulou City, Yulou City was broken, which was equivalent to the rebels' last garrison was torn apart, and in the next two days, Xue Cunxiao led the troops to go under Chentai City, which was a kind of demonstration.
——————
Compared with the smooth operation of the war on the Eastern Front, the war on the Northern Front was extremely anxious.
After the Rouran army occupied Jiuquan City, there was no movement after half a month, and the 30,000 Rouran troops who were stopped further north had been forming a flanking trend with the Jiuquan City army.
The general Yuwentai divided the army's defense into two main parts, one was to garrison along the south bank of the Changma River, which was to prevent the other 30,000 men from suddenly bypassing, and the other was to go south along the four towns of Hexi all the way south to the official road to Luoyang.
And this part of the army and the Autumn Army, which had just been formed, also formed a horn trend.
Luoyang, the palace city of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Cui Hao, the prime minister of one of the three princes, also has a lot
I haven't been to the court for a long time, and the new emperor Yuan Ke has acquiesced in his approach except for occasional summons, allowing him to compile the history of the country at home, but Yuan Ke never asks about the progress.
came and went, and with the successive defeats and retreats of the two major families on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, some crazy words gradually spread from the court, of course, all of them were aimed at Cui Hao.
After the defeat of the Qinghe Cui clan and the Qizhou Gao clan, the purge of the two major families will definitely be carried out without accident, and even the Jinyang Wang clan, which has an in-law relationship with the Qinghe Cui clan, may be implicated.
When the new emperor took office, these were also an opportunity for him to knock on the courtiers, especially these influential big families.
Therefore, for a while, the end of Cui Hao's compilation of national history was when he was beheaded by Cui's family, and such rumors were rampant.
Cui Hao had heard about it but didn't care at all, but his wife and son worked hard for it.
Yuan Ke also took care of Cui Hao's identity, and even mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally in the early dynasty, when Cui Hao was extremely angry with the people who spread these crazy words, but he didn't say a word about Cui Hao's disposal, and it seemed that he was deliberately making people discuss.
A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.
Although the two families have occupied the land of Kanto for a long time, their tentacles have extended to Guanzhong early.
Yuan Ke's move was to deliberately find out the hidden stakes of the two families, so that even if he cleaned the two families in the future, he could sleep peacefully.
In the end, Cui Hao's matter is only the tip of the iceberg of the changing situation in Luoyang City, and the bigger discussions and plans are all about the war on two fronts.
The early dynasty, which has been stable for a few days, has ushered in another change today, and there is nothing more eventful than this.
In the early dynasties, Yuan Ke received the report of Chen Guang, the county guard of the southwest, and Miao Jiang still did it, and they united with a number of Western Regions to plunder in the southwest of Great Wei, although the season was not right, but the timing was right.
If it were in the past, Chen Guang's recitation would definitely not be so gentle, and I am afraid that he would have prayed for more troops from the imperial court a long time ago.
But now it is different from the past, and the formed autumn army is the trump card stationed in the southwest, and it is also the reassurance of the stability of the southwestern counties.
The early formation of the Autumn Army is definitely an excellent strategy.
Because most of the courtiers now also know about the existence of the Autumn Army, they are not worried about the comparison, but in this way, the third-line battle of the Great Wei will easily be dragged down.
Yuan Ke also knew this, but he didn't say it at the beginning, but instead he continued to fight the Qiu Army, and praised the military vision of the three dukes.
Although Cui Hao was not there, others could hear this.
Even if they didn't talk about it in court, the emperor's actions undoubtedly made waves in their hearts.
Yuan Ke didn't care about their reaction, and directly ordered that the Qiu army should not be in a hurry to attack, first lure the enemy deep and then attack by surprise, and strive to solve it in a battle.
In addition, the battlefield on the northern front will still be reported every day, which is also Yuan Ke's request, and Sima will strictly implement it regardless of whether the army is large or small.
According to Yu Wentai's speculation, the 60,000 Rouran army in Jiuquan City will definitely not be satisfied, and they will definitely take the opportunity to go south.
Unless it can guarantee the annihilation of the opponent within three battles, the 60,000-strong army will definitely destroy the lives north of Tongguan.
Both Yuan Ke and Yu Wentai had considered this issue, so the defenders along the Changma River and south of Jiuquan City were the last guarantee for the people north of Tongguan.
Looking at the twists and turns presented on the northern line, Yuan Ke was silent.
Seeing His Majesty like this, none of the ministers in the court spoke.
After a long time, Yuan Ke suddenly remembered a person he hadn't seen in the fold for a long time, and he had a flash of inspiration, he immediately looked at Taiwei Yuan Shuang and asked, "Yuan Aiqing, I haven't seen Gao Huan's news on the fold for a long time, where is General Gao now?"
If His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, Yuan Shuang might have forgotten Gao Huan, who went deep into the grassland.
When Yuan Shuang heard this, he immediately said, "Back to Your Majesty, General Gao has gone deep into the grassland with four thousand human gods, and there has been no news for a long time. However, the previous two passes sent people to the north to investigate, and it seems that many small tribes on the grassland were looted by General Gao. According to Lao Chen's guess, since there is no good news or bad news, General Gao and they may be safe for the time being."
Yuan Ke was somewhat pleased when he heard this, though
However, Gao Huan's petty fights could not cause fatal damage to Rouran, but it could also make Rouran's army guard against security problems in the rear.
Yuan Ke said: "It's already very good, if General Gao can make more achievements, Rou Ran is afraid that he will be even more jealous."
Hearing His Majesty talk about this, Yuan Shuang glanced at Lu Wenmiao and Li Ji beside him, and then Yuan Shuang said, "Your Majesty, Master Lu and I once studied General Gao's marching route with General Li, and we had a bold guess."
"Oh? Aiqing, come on." Yuan Ke said.
"Your Majesty, let's let General Li talk about it."
Hearing this, Li Yan took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Gao Huan has been in contact with General Yuwen since his ministers. Gao Huan has talents, dare to fight. Therefore, based on these, Chen Dou dared to guess that Gao Huan not only wanted to disturb Rou and Fang, but he might also want to take advantage of Rou and Fang's army to go straight to Dragon City steadily."
Hearing the word Longcheng, even Yuan Ke's heart moved slightly.
Yuan Shuang followed closely and said, "Your Majesty, if General Gao can accomplish such a feat, the Rouran army in Jiuquan City will be able to defeat itself."
When Li Yan finished speaking, Yuan Ke also felt that there was a trace of possibility in his heart, but after Yuan Shuang spoke again, his consciousness returned to reality.
Yuan Ke said, "How difficult. General Gao is only 4,000 people, and it is not easy for him to survive."
Yuan Shuang and Li Yan actually understand, but this is the least costly method.
"Let's see this later, how is the situation on General Dugu's side?" Yuan Ke said again.
Yuan Shuang replied: "Back to Your Majesty, General Dugu has ordered Xue Cunxiao to attack Yulou, if it goes well, the army can come to Chentai without seven days."
"The progress of the Heavenly Supervisor Division and the Earth Network is going well, I heard that the Qinghe Cui Clan and the Qizhou Gao Clan are already laying out Donghai City, it seems that they are looking for a way back for themselves." Yuan Ke laughed.
Yuan Shuang said, "Because they alone can't set off any storms."
Yuan Ke smiled when he heard this, but there was another interesting thing he didn't say, the young man who hadn't seen him for a long time had also arrived in Donghai City.
If he said that he was guilty, at least Yuan Ke himself didn't, but he apologized to the Shen family in the East China Sea for his dead father.
The early dynasty ended in such an atmosphere, but everything did not end there.
Early the next morning, Shen Kuanghe left Donghai City with Lin Wanzhao and a few people, and Cui's spies watched the group leave.
In Cui's mansion, Yang Tianzhi, who said that he was just making a effort, did not leave, and the cat also began to show his true face.
