Chapter 219: Strategizing
Xiao Yilin also learned a lot about the situation when he arrived at the border pass. This year, not only the Jin Kingdom was severely affected, but even Beiyan was the same. So Beiyan started the idea of plundering.
But now that he is here, if Beiyan wants to come, they will burn and loot in the Great Jin Dynasty, and it depends on him whether Xiao Yilin agrees.
Xiao Yilin straightened out the defense and strengthened the defense.
This time, Xiao Yilin's cavalry did not bring much grain and grass because they had to march day and night, and the follow-up grain and grass were still behind.
Fortunately, Dingguo Gong and others were in charge of the grain and grass for the army this time, and a batch of grain and grass had already been shipped before the army set off, and the first batch of grain and grass could be transported to the border in a few days. At that time, there will be enough grain and grass, and I am not afraid of being consumed with the Northern Yan army.
Xiao Yilin sent spies to investigate the enemy situation of Beiyan, so that he knew himself and knew that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles.
After the spies' investigation, Xiao Yilin knew that there was a shortage of grain and grass in Beiyan, which was also because Beiyan had also been seriously affected in the past two years, and it was very difficult to collect grain and grass.
They also thought that they could burn, kill and loot when they arrived at the Jin Kingdom, and they didn't have to worry about the problem of grain and grass. How do you know that as soon as you arrive at the border area, you get the news that Xiao Yilin led the army to guard the border pass. This shattered Beiyan's dream.
This time, Northern Yan led the army to attack the Jin State by Xiao Yilin's old enemy, Northern Yan's general Mo Kun, who was brave and good at fighting and ruthless. He will never be soft on his captives, and invading other countries is burning, killing and looting, which is very cruel.
Mo Kun had fought against Xiao Yilin many times before, but he had never won, he thought that Xiao Yilin had been abolished, and no one could stop him in this attack on the Jin Kingdom, but he didn't expect Xiao Yilin to suddenly appear at the border, which made Mo Kun shocked. At the same time, he was also afraid of Xiao Yilin from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, the momentum of the Northern Yan army was greatly affected.
Shu Shenglun, the military advisor of the Xuanwei Army, and Yuan Zhenchuan, the general of the auxiliary state, were Xiao Yilin's die-hard supporters, and they had been guarding Xiao Yilin's guard in the Xuanwei Army for two years after Xiao Yilin was injured and poisoned and left the Xuanwei Army.
After Xiao Yilin returned to Beijing, he was able to quickly control the Xuanwei Army, Shu Shenglun and Yuan Zhenchuan played a very important role. Now that Xiao Yilin has taken over the Xuanwei Army and returned to the battlefield, these two people have also gone out with the army.
Xiao Yilin, the soldiers below, have also sorted it out, and now the Xuanwei Army can be said to be united. Although there are still some people who are placed in the Xuanwei Army by others, they are all in Xiao Yilin's grasp and do not affect the overall situation.
In the council hall of the Marshal Mansion of Langyue City at the border gate, Xiao Yilin was discussing things with a few henchmen below.
Shu Shenglun said: "Your Highness, this time it was Mo Kun who led the army, fortunately we arrived and quickly shocked him, otherwise the people here would suffer again."
Yuan Zhenchuan said: "Yes, this Mo Kun is cruel by nature, and he will do everything to burn, kill, and loot in other countries. As long as the city is invaded by him, all the corpses are all scattered in the wilderness, and the lives are ruined. Beiyan sent him to lead the troops this time, just to plunder the resources of our Great Jin Dynasty to alleviate the famine in their Beiyan."
Shu Shenglun said: "According to the spies, the Northern Yan Imperial Court is not all the main battle faction. The eldest prince Tuoba Liansheng is the main battle faction, and he also has a close relationship with Mo Kun. In recent years, the second prince Tuoba Liancheng has also grown up, and has formed two opposing forces with the eldest prince.
This Tuoba Liancheng is a moderate and does not want to raise troops to fight. It is hoped that a negotiated solution will be resolved. Can we secretly support this Tuoba Liancheng, at least let him fight with the great prince of Northern Yan, so that maybe they don't have the same heart to attack our Great Jin.
If this mild-tempered second prince is made the emperor of Northern Yan in the future, it will be good for the stability of our two countries."
Xiao Yilin nodded, "Tuoba Liansheng's personality is indeed more irritable and fierce, and he has that kind of belligerent temperament in his bones, if he is allowed to be the emperor of Northern Yan in the future, then our two countries will not want to have a peaceful life in the future."
Strategist, you are looking for someone to go to Beiyan and Tuoba Liancheng to contact, and when the time is ripe, tell him that for the sake of the people of the two countries to have a peaceful life in the future, we are willing to secretly support him in his bid for the throne.
When he ascends to the throne in the future, the Jin state is willing to conclude a peace treaty with them, open the gates, and trade between the two countries."
Shu Shenglun arched his hand and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will look for a suitable candidate. In two days, the first batch of grain and grass will be served
When it arrives, it will be able to alleviate the shortage of grain and grass here.
The north has also been very dry this year, and the people are also very difficult. I've heard that the imperial court's relief food has never been distributed at all. It is said that the imperial court also allocated food and silver for disaster relief in the north, and we have to check if there is any hidden secret. If the people in the north are unstable, it will not be conducive to the stability of the north."
Xiao Yilin's face immediately became gloomy when he heard this, "Send someone to secretly investigate, no matter who embezzled the food and money for disaster relief, it can't be tolerated. Investigate secretly first, don't startle the snake, and be sure to hit it with one hit. The people of the north are too miserable, and those corrupt officials who do not care about the lives of the people should be killed."
Xiao Yilin sent a lot of spies to secretly investigate the situation in the north, and decided to clean up the moths in the north.
Xiao Yilin is strategizing at the border pass, and he has always been thinking about Jingyi in his heart
After discussing things with his henchmen, when he calms down, Xiao Yilin will remember where the little girl is now, what she is doing, and will she get along with Shao Yichen very happily?
He didn't know the situation of the little girl, and he was very uneasy, worried about the little girl's safety, and worried about being taken advantage of by his rival.
Xiao Yilin finally wrote a secret letter and sent the flying pigeon back to the Jingwang Mansion in the capital.
Xiao Quanzhou received a secret letter from his own prince and thought it was a big deal, and when he opened the secret letter, he saw that it was for Han Qi, and asked Han Qi to go with him to serve An Lehou, and also asked Han Qi to report the matter of An Lehou to his own prince often.
Xiao Quanzhou didn't know what was going on, and Han Qi understood his prince's mind as soon as he saw his prince's secret letter. The prince of his own family is not at ease, let himself keep an eye on it.
Han Qi naturally didn't dare to delay when he received the letter from his own prince, so he packed up and took the two of them to chase after Shao Yichen and their convoy
Jing Yi and Shao Yichen have been on their way for four days, and they try to travel as much as possible every day, and they can't get to the post station at night or can't find a place to stay, so they camp in the wilderness.
Fortunately, the carriage transformed by Jingyi walked much more smoothly on the official road, and Shao Yichen's injuries have recovered a lot in the past few days.
These days have been peaceful, and there have been no assassination attacks. However, Jingyi did not let down his guard because of this. The farther away from the capital becomes, the more dangerous it becomes, and at any time someone may suddenly appear to assassinate them. So Jing Yi made some *** on the carriage when he was okay these days. At least some of the enemy can be dealt with in a critical moment.
