Chapter 230: Urging the March
The state of Chu sent 100,000 troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked!
The so-called ants bite and kill elephants, and the gap between the strength of Chu, Wei, Han, Wu and the Ming Dynasty is not the gap between ants and elephants.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu took the lead in sending troops, and they were already victorious in the first battle.
The Ming Dynasty killed a general military officer and a trilateral commander, and even the governor Hu Zongxian was wounded in front of the battle, so he had to retreat to the fortified city and wait for the prince of Wanli to bring troops to the rescue.
Now, the dispatch of troops by the State of Chu is the last straw that crushes the camel in the eyes of many people!
God list?
It turns out that it is not a symbol of the Ming Dynasty's domination of the world, but a talisman?
The restless hearts of the countries of the alliance immediately settled down.
The only one who has been criticized is Da Chu.
To be precise, it is the marshal of the Great Chu, Jin Gong Fan Li.
The news of the common people is closed, and they don't know why Da Chu did not send troops at the beginning, and now he suddenly joined the team to crusade against Da Ming.
It wasn't until Fan Li led his army out of Pengcheng that gossip spread from the imperial palace of Chu.
"I heard that our Majesty advocated the Four Kingdoms to attack the Ming from the beginning, but the Duke of Jin was timid and did not dare to use troops against the Ming Dynasty."
"Later, when the Duke of Jin saw that the Three Kingdoms actually won the first battle, and the strength of the Ming army was no different, he immediately rushed to lead the army to the battle, in fact, to grab merit."
"Our Jin Gong is only a Jin Dan in strength, and he is only in his early twenties."
"What's the old saying?"
"Fierce and timid, scheming and indecisive. Do big things and spare yourself, and forget your life when you see small profits! ”
"Tut-tut!"
"After all, he is a young man, with no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well."
……
…………
Hundreds of miles outside Pengcheng, Fan Li didn't know that as soon as he left Pengcheng, Xiang Chong couldn't wait to spread rumors unfavorable to him among the people.
However, even if Fan Li knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.
Fame is such a thing, in troubled times, it is strength.
Ascend and shout, and you can respond in groups.
But at present, the state of Chu is not a troubled era, and even the country is rich and the people are strong, and there are some 'prosperous times' scenes.
In this social background, the fame of big people is often just a conversation among ordinary people after dinner.
As long as the people have food, clothing, and money to spend, they will not care too much about the good and evil of the upper class.
Therefore, no matter how Xiang Chong smeared Fan Li, it had very little impact on him.
After all, Fan Li has long been 'rape' famous.
"Report!"
A sentry rode a fast horse to Fan Li, dismounted and bowed.
"Military intelligence at the border gates."
"Prince Wanli led an army of 400,000 and joined forces with the remnants of Hu Zongxian in Yunzhou City."
"At present, the total strength of Yunzhou City is 450,000."
Fan Li twisted his eyebrows in contemplation.
The Ming army is really the best in the world.
Emperor Jiajing did not drive the expedition in person, but only let the prince of Wanli lead the troops, and gathered 400,000 people in one breath!
Although the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu garrisoned the city of Yunzhou, after a major battle, there were probably less than 300,000 soldiers who could fight.
The prince of Wanli has gained the advantage of troops, and he has Yunzhou Jiancheng to rely on.
In this battle, he has a better chance of winning!
"Lord!"
An adjutant general of the garrison looked anxious when he heard the military report.
"The strength and weakness are inverted, and the Wei-Han-Wu coalition army is in danger."
"The last general asks the lord, do you want to speed up the march and rush to the battlefield of Yunzhou City as soon as possible?"
The soldiers and horses of Dachu are all under the control of Fan Li.
Among them, 200,000 garrisons were absolutely loyal to Fan Li.
In this battle, Fan Li took away half of the garrison.
The remaining half was left to Fan Chun in order to control the domestic situation and prevent Xiang Chong from causing chaos.
"Speed up the march?"
Fan Li pondered when he heard this.
At present, although the Ming army of Yunzhou City has been newly defeated, it has a huge advantage in numbers.
If he led the Chu army to the Yunzhou battlefield successfully, the total number of the Ming coalition troops would immediately increase to 400,000.
Considering that of the 450,000 Ming army, 50,000 were Hu Zongxian's defeated soldiers.
The forces of the two sides were actually basically leveled.
"The army of the four countries will join forces, which is beneficial to our side and not good for Prince Wanli."
"If I am the Prince of Wanli, I will definitely find a way to intercept the Chu army and join the Wei, Han and Wu coalition forces."
Strategically defying the enemy.
Tactically value the enemy.
Fan Li definitely had reason to believe that even though Prince Wanli was empty-eyed and arrogant, he did not want the army of the Four Kingdoms to successfully meet under Yunzhou City.
On the way of the Chu army to Yunzhou City, I'm afraid there is an ambush?
Fan Li was just thinking about it, when he suddenly heard an ugly and gloomy voice from the back of the team.
"Your Majesty's commandment, Duke Jin receives the order!"
The person who came turned out to be Gonggong Chen.
With a gloating expression on his face, he slowly floated down from the sky.
"What?" Fan Li asked lightly.
"Forehead ......"
Grandpa Chen's eyelids jumped.
He wanted to remind Fan Li, the miscellaneous family is here to deliver the decree, don't you kneel down and listen to the decree?
Xu is mood is too good, and it took a long time for Gonggong Chen to remember that the Fan family never knelt down when he received orders.
Especially in Fan Li's generation, even Emperor Chu didn't dare to expect him to kneel, let alone Gonggong Chen?
"If there's a fart, let it go."
Fan Li didn't have a good face for the old eunuch.
"Delayed army trip, believe it or not, Bengong used your head to sacrifice the flag?"
Fan Li is serious.
Although today's Gonggong Chen can't threaten him at all, it is beneficial to cut off Xiang Chong's arm after all.
It's rare to be in the army, and the military order is as heavy as a mountain, and it's really a good time to sharpen your sword.
Chen Gonggong was shocked!
He only felt a chill in his neck, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Ahem...... Duke Jin was angry, and the old slave just passed on a message for His Majesty. After saying that, he will leave, and never delay the army's journey. ”
Fan Li nodded: "Say it, listen to my father." ”
The old eunuch swallowed his saliva before he said:
"Your Majesty has a will."
"The Duke of Jin worked tirelessly, pro-unified the army to defeat the Ming, and his loyalty can be expressed, and I am very moved."
"However, I am afraid that the march of the Jin Gong will be slow, the fighter plane will be delayed, and the opportunity for meritorious service will be missed."
"For the sake of the wise plan of the Duke of Jin, I have a special decree that the army needs to arrive at the battlefield of Yunzhou City within two days."
"If the army is delayed and fails to arrive in time, even if the attack is successful, 100,000 soldiers will not be rewarded!"
When Fan Li heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
This is Xiang Chong's dictation?
Just to urge him to speed up his march and rush to the battlefield of Yunzhou City?
Even, do not hesitate to use the soldiers' exploits as a threat?
Odd.
It's weird.
Of course, Fan Li didn't believe that Xiang Chong would be so kind and maintain his 'wise image'.
So, what is Xiang Chong's picture?
"Chen Gonggong ......"
"The old slave is here." After the old eunuch announced the decree, it was difficult to hide his smug expression.
Obviously, he knows the inside story.
"After listening to the dictatorship, is there anything else with Grandpa Chen?" Fan Li said coldly.
Several lieutenants beside him understood and took a step forward with their swords in hand.
The old eunuch was startled, and said in his heart: Fan Li stepped into the ghost door with half a foot, and I can't be a funeral gift for him!
"The oracle has been announced, and the old slave will go back to the palace to resume his life and say goodbye!"
The old eunuch was like a monkey that was lit, and he rose into the air with a 'whoosh', not giving the generals a chance to besiege him.
"It's dangerous!"
Gonggong Chen pinched a handful of sweat and fled quickly in the direction of Pengcheng.
Fan Li seemed powerless to catch up, so he could only watch him flee in embarrassment.
But when the old eunuch completely disappeared from view, Fan Li slowly spoke: "What the hell, could it be that Xiang Chong and Wanli teamed up to calculate me?" ”
The child was hospitalized with suspected severe allergic symptoms caused by anti-inflammatory drugs.
The update time has been unstable these days, and everything is unstable, please understand.
