Chapter 659: The War (Second Watch)
After Duanhua's carriage left, Qin Luan stood at the gate of the East Palace and did not move for a long time.
The little orange came back from outside the palace, and when he saw a woman standing at the door, he took a closer look, and when he saw that it was Qin Luan, he immediately asked, "Female official Qin, why don't you go back to the palace?" Standing here alone for a long time? ”
Qin Luan sighed, "Your Highness has left Beijing, I don't know when I will come back, I think that from today onwards, our East Palace will be quiet for a while." ”
Xiao Chengzi also sighed when he heard this, "Yes, His Royal Highness doesn't take us, he thinks we are cumbersome, and he only brings a small whole child with him, which is really uneasy." If you don't eat or drink well, how can you be good? ”
Qin Luan stopped talking.
The two entered the East Palace, closed the small door, and walked all the way inside.
Only then did Xiao Chengzi remember, "Lady Qin, how did you come back?" Why didn't you get on the bus? ”
"It was the Lord of Duanhua who sent me back, and she also went outside the city to see off His Royal Highness the Prince." Qin Luan remembered the words that Duanhua had left before leaving, and his heart sank again. Could it be that her mind is obvious? Su Rong didn't take her away, and Duanhua kindly reminded her.
"Oh, it turned out that the county lord sent you back, the county lord is really different from before." Xiao Chengzi said: "Treat people more leniently and politely than before, but I don't know who will be chosen to be the county horse." ”
Qin Luan didn't answer this.
Xiao Chengzi also gossiped a little, and seeing that Qin Luan's interest in talking was not high, he didn't say any more, wondering if the female official Qin was in a bad mood because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had left Beijing?
Prince Yan Echo left Beijing for the border city, except for the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion left in Beijing, all the soldiers and horses were mobilized, and all went to the border city.
At this time, in the border city, the old protector has been in the border city for two days, and he has generally figured out that Dawei has no intention of sending troops to Daliang, and he is afraid that he is just trying to interfere and make the situation in Daliang tense.
After he toured the city, he asked Su Xing, "What do you think?" ”
Su Xing's face was solemn, "According to the old prince, since Dawei has no intention of sending troops to Daliang, but he took the initiative to tear up the peace treaty and attack the border city, I am afraid the purpose is not so simple." ”
He looked in the direction of Nanchu, "I've been in the direction of Nanchu for two months, and I haven't received a letter from the seventh sister, probably because the situation in Nanchu is not optimistic, I'm afraid that Dawei will follow the example of supporting Zhang Ping to usurp power and support the Nangong family to seize power in Nanchu, and Dawei interferes with the border city of Daliang, I'm afraid it is intended in Nanchu." ”
"Yes." The old protector glanced at Su Xingze appreciatively, "Before the old man left Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the old man a secret decree, so that the old man had full authority to govern the affairs of the border city, you say, if it is tomorrow, the old man declares war on Great Wei, how about it?" ”
Su Xing was shocked, "The border cities are now combined, and there are only 200,000 soldiers and horses. ”
After the border city retreated from the prince of Great Wei, he initially left only 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of which returned to the interior, after hearing the attack of Great Wei, he got the news and urgently summoned soldiers and horses, and the old protector came and brought some soldiers and horses, and now it adds up, only 200,000.
"Now the Chen soldiers of Great Wei on the border are not necessarily more than our number." The old protector said: "If it is really a pretext for Dawei to attack the border city of Daliang, but it is really a violation of Nanchu, if our Daliang does not make a move, then Nanchu is afraid that it will be in danger, once Nanchu is taken by Dawei, not to mention that Su Rong and Zhou Gu have no foothold in Nanchu, it is Daliang, and it is also dangerous." ”
Su Xing is also thinking about this," Lao Guogong said. ”
"Pass the order, all the soldiers prepare today, and attack Dawei tomorrow." The old protector made up his mind, "I will repair a letter to the prince and send someone to send it back to Beijing urgently for 800 miles." ”
Su Xing admired, "Yes." ”
It was not a trivial matter to start a war against Great Wei, he thought that even if the old protector came in person, he would ask the prince for advice and wait for news. Unexpectedly, the crown prince let the old protector have full power, and the old protector made a decision simply and decisively.
On the same day, the military order was conveyed to the three armies, and the old protector summoned the generals to agree on the siege strategy.
So, on the second day, on the eve of dawn, at the darkest hour, Daliang suddenly broke through the border line of Great Wei and started a war against Rongcheng of Great Wei.
The flames of war broke out, and the generals defending the city of Rongcheng, the border city of Great Wei, were suddenly alarmed, and they hurriedly gathered people to deal with it.
There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Rongcheng to defend the city, but Daliang has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the range of crossbow arrows of Rongcheng's soldiers is longer than that of the crossbow arrows in the hands of Daliang soldiers, but Daliang has a strong shield, there is a well-trained Zhou army, and there is an old protector of the country in person.
Seeing that the defenders of Rongcheng could no longer resist it, they withdrew from Rongcheng in panic with the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses after the loss.
The old protector led his troops into Rongcheng, pulled out the banner of Dawei, and planted the banner of Daliang.
The soldiers of Daliang, who had been tired and fought for three days and nights, were each full of joy of victory, and the old protector wiped the blood on his face and ordered, "Rest for a day, attack the next city and look at the city, and order to go down, reward the three armies today, hurry up for 800 miles, and send good news to Beijing." ”
Su Xing took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood on his face, and answered yes with a smile.
This battle, although it was not easy to fight, but it was won after all, the victory was in Dawei did not expect that the Liang would send troops, not a sneak attack, but a real war, the old protector of the country deserved to be the old protector of the country, three days and nights, in the case of both sides were tired, in one fell swoop to capture Rongcheng.
The defeated general of Rongcheng is called Helan Ying, who is the nephew of Helan Du, the first general of the Great Wei Dynasty, compared to Helan Duel, his young general is naturally a little more tender, plus the strength of the Great Wei Rongcheng defender is only 100,000, and he is not the opponent of the old protector.
Helan Ying fled with tens of thousands of scattered soldiers and horses, and sent people to send a quick report to the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty.
He Lanying withdrew for dozens of miles, and did not see soldiers and horses chasing after her, so she grabbed the reins of the horse angrily, her eyes were red, "Da Liang dares to go to war!" Dare to go to war! ”
Many of the soldiers were covered in blood, and they had no strength to kill, and the defeat made them lose their spirits one by one.
He Lanying was angry for a long time, discouraged, knowing that he couldn't kill him back now, and he couldn't recapture Rongcheng, so he could only continue to retreat to Wangcheng with his soldiers.
Wangcheng is a hundred miles away from Rongcheng, and when He Lanying arrived with people, he suddenly startled Feng Zhan, the defender of Wangcheng.
There are not many soldiers and horses in Wangcheng, only 20,000, after Feng Zhan saw Helan Ying, he heard that he was defeated, Rongcheng was lost, and his face changed greatly, "Three days ago, General Helan sent someone to the capital for your urgent report, but now there is no will in Beijing, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in my city, if it is as you said, Daliang is 200,000 soldiers and horses, my 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus your current ......"
"Forty-five thousand." He Lanying said with a calm face.
He was in Rongcheng and lost a total of 55,000 soldiers and horses.
Feng Zhan was a little frightened, "With your 45,000 soldiers and horses, it's less than 100,000 soldiers and horses." How good is that? ”
He Lanying didn't know either, but he could only defend one city and wait for reinforcements.
Babies, monthly passes, what's that?
