Loyal and righteous people
"Hahaha! Ye Yaoming, you are really ashamed to say this, when Lao Tzu went into battle to kill the enemy, you were still drinking milk in your mother's arms! Teach me a lesson here? Do you deserve it too? Zhao Shichang shouted loudly.
"Zhao Shichang, I know that you are Li Yukun's old department, you have experienced so many battles, don't you still understand this situation? You have no chance of winning! My father is as precious as gold, if you come to our army, you will not be treated badly! Ye Yaoming also wanted to persuade Zhao Shichang to return to obedience.
"Fart! Return to Ye Yuanzhi, he is also worthy? A weak husband who sells himself by his own sister, delusionally wants to subvert and the country? Your father is simply confused, he dares to commit this great crime of the nine clans, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, Ye Yaoming, you don't have to waste your tongue, you have the ability to board this white city, I count you as stronger than your father, if you can't attack it, don't talk to me, I have prepared a big gift for you in Guizhou and Henan, you accept it slowly, hahaha! Zhao Shichang stood on the city wall and scolded, not afraid of the tens of thousands of elite horsemen brought by Ye Yaoming at all!
After Ye Yaoming saw that the discussion was fruitless, he waved his big hand, and all the soldiers began to attack! However, Zhao Shichang is a battle-hardened general, and he is very prepared for these people's strategies and tactics to attack the city!
It's a pity that the most helpless thing is that Zhao Shichang has limited troops in his hands, and in just half a day, he was breached through the city gate, and after Ye Yaoming rushed into the city with tens of thousands of cavalry, he instantly killed his eyes, because there were only a thousand soldiers defending the city!
Ye Yaoming came to the city wall, only to see that Zhao Shichang had been hit by a total of three arrows all over his body, two arrows in his chest, and an arrow in his leg, "General Zhao Shichang, where are you defenders?" Is it possible to achieve these thousand people to defend the city? ”
Zhao Shichang spit out a mouthful of blood, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "I already knew that I couldn't hold it, so I broke all the soldiers into pieces and ambushed them in places you couldn't imagine, rest assured, on the way to the capital, there will be a steady stream of surprises, at least half a month, you can't get to the capital!" ”
Ye Yaoming sighed and slowly squatted down, "Why are you bothering?" Father didn't want to come over to entangle with you, you can obviously protect yourself, why do you want to use this life to stop you? ”
"Wise to protect yourself? I don't know which fool said this, but the person who said it must have no faith, no loyalty, no parents and no children! After Zhao Shichang finished speaking, his eyes slowly closed, his head turned to the side, and he stopped talking!
Ye Yaoming got up slowly, glanced at Zhao Shichang, and then sighed, "Thick burial!" ”
"Yes!"
However, Ye Yuanzhi's army, as Zhao Shichang said, from Guizhou to Sichuan, along the way, there were either broken bridges or collapsed mountains, and a large number of soldiers were needed to start cleaning the roads every time, otherwise the grain and grass supplied in the follow-up could not keep up, and they would not be able to march!
Occasionally, there is another night attack, or a sneak attack in the woods, it has been ten days of marching, and he has not yet left Sichuan, which can't help but make Ye Yuanzhi very annoyed!
Zhao Shichang used his nearly 10,000 soldiers to block the enemy for ten days, during which all the reinforcements have returned to the capital, the first team is the 20,000 elite cavalry sent back by Li Hanqi on the frontier, although the 100,000 army of Wara has been pressed on the border, but 20,000 can also be transferred as reinforcements, and these 20,000 elite cavalry are led by Li Hanrui!
At the same time, the Far Eastern Theater also returned to the capital with 20,000 elite cavalry, and these 20,000 were led by Tang Mi himself.
Returning 40,000 elite cavalry, this made Zhu Chufeng feel a little relieved, plus 20,000 Qilin Wei elites, a total of 60,000 people are guarding outside the capital, at least they can block it for a while, so that as long as the border or the Far East repel 10,000 enemies, and then lead the army back to aid the Beijing Division, he will not be afraid of Ye Yuanzhi!
After receiving the news from Huguang, Li Hanrui hurriedly returned home, and saw Tang Mi and Li Yukun in the hall looking at the sand table in front of him talking, Li Yukun saw Li Hanrui rushing in in a panic, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart!
"What?"
"General Zhao Shichang...... He has been martyred! Li Hanrui said with a sad face.
Li Yukun threw the command baton in his hand to the ground, turned his back, clenched his silver teeth, his eyes were red, and he couldn't say a word!
"General Zhao Shichang is loyal, with 10,000 remnants, blocking the enemy for more than ten days and not leaving Sichuan, which gives us time to return to the capital, this kind of arrogance is really admirable, we should write to the court, please the emperor to his family to offer!" Tang Mi said on the side.
As soon as these words came out, Li Yukun sighed, "As a soldier, die on the battlefield, this is our fate, Brother Shichang, don't be separated in Tianying's soul, brother, I will definitely send Ye Yuanzhi to the road, and when the time comes, you will take revenge yourself!" ”
Li Hanrui slowly lowered his head, in order to be in awe of Zhao Shichang, who had just died.
Tang Mi turned her head to look at Li Hanrui, "Zhao Xuan...... Isn't there any news from General Zhao yet? It's been more than ten days, as long as he's in Daming, how can he receive the news? Why don't you go back to Beijing to help? ”
Li Hanrui smiled and didn't speak!
In the Mingyue Palace, Zhu Yuejun was looking at the battle report from the Yuewei in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became, and finally simply threw the battle report aside, he could guess the result without looking at it at all!
"The emperor has arrived!"
After a loud voice came, Zhu Yuejun hurriedly got up and took over, "Long live the emperor!" ”
Zhu Chufeng hurriedly helped Zhu Yuejun up, "When is this now, why do you need all this red tape?" Sit down! ”
"Brother Xie Huang!" Zhu Yuejun sat on a chair.
After Zhu Chufeng sat down, he sighed for a long time: "Now that all parties have read the battle reports, right?" ”
"Just saw it!"
"There is no good news from any place, whether it is the frontier or the Far East, they are fighting with the enemy so much that they can't send reinforcements back to Beijing at all, is this really ......?"
Zhu Yuejun was also full of sadness, "Fortunately, the rebels haven't gone out of Sichuan yet, and they can carry it for a few more days!" ”
"Yuejun, I want to ask you a question!"
"If the imperial brother wants to ask General Xiangyun, there is no need, since Ye Yuanzhi rebelled, I have sent more than a dozen letters, but I have not received a reply, even if Zhao Xuanyi knows what to do? He now has no soldiers, he has no power, and the Qilin Guard has now changed hands, who will he come back to command? Jin Yiwei? ”
Zhu Chufeng let out a sigh: "You're still weird!" ”
"Yuejun doesn't dare! The command of the Qilinwei was set by the imperial brother, hoping that General Fu could give full play to the original strength of the Qilinwei, when Zhao Xuanyi defeated Goryeo 30,000 with 5,000, and defeated it by a difference of six times, but now it is only eight times the enemy, and there are 20,000 border guards and 20,000 Far East Army, it is not without victory! ”
"Do you think Liang Yun can win?"
"I only think that with Zhao Xuanyi, I won't lose!"
After Zhu Chufeng heard it, he didn't speak, but fell silent! Yes, if Zhao Xuanyi can really win Ye Yuanzhi by a six-fold margin, the 20,000 Qilin Guards can destroy at least 120,000 enemy troops, and the remaining 40,000, how can the border guards and the Far Eastern Army be able to eat, maybe they really have a chance to win, but unfortunately Zhao Xuanyi is not in the capital! Can't even the moon guard be found?
Li Hanrui, Ye Mu and Li Yukun were in the hall watching the sand table and constantly planning, while Liu Bo outside hurriedly ran into the hall, "Report to the general, the third lady is back!" ”
Li Yukun was so happy when he heard that he hurriedly made the hall himself, only to see Li Hanyan walking back from outside with the purple kite and the lychee, Li Yukun couldn't find the north with a smile! grabbed Li Hanyan's hand, "My good girl, you are back, you want to die as a father!" ”
"Father, my daughter is coming back late!"
"It's not too late, it's not too late! This......? Li Yukun looked back, and saw that his girl and the two maids were back, but he didn't see Zhao Xuanyi? What about the son-in-law? ”
At the mention of Zhao Xuanyi, Li Hanyan's face was very ugly, and then she shook her head, "I don't know!" ”
"......" Everyone present was stunned, and Tang Mi hurriedly walked over, "Aren't you also living together in Hangzhou?" How could you not know? ”
Li Hanyan glared at Tang Mi: "What does my husband's business have to do with you?" ”
"I'm just asking General Zhao, what are you angry about here?" Tang Mi said coldly.
When has this been? You are still in the mood to be jealous here, Li Hanrui hurriedly walked over, "Third sister, you don't know what you mean?" ”
"When I heard that Ye Yuanzhi was rebelling, my husband was very anxious, and left with Brother Shen, Jinglan and Tang Tianli, and when I left, I told me to wait for the letter at home, but there was no news for seven days, I couldn't wait, so I took Zi Kite and Qu Kui and they came back first!"
"You didn't look for it?" Li Hanrui asked.
Purple Kite said on the side, "I found it, but we searched all the places we could find, and there was no news at all, we thought that my uncle had returned to the capital, so I came back with Miss, but ......?" ”
Everyone doesn't need to ask, Zhao Xuanyi is not in the capital! Otherwise, do people still need to be in such a hurry?
Everyone sat in the hall, their faces were very ugly, and they couldn't find anyone at the critical time, what could be more infuriating? An hour after Zhu Yuejun returned to the General's Mansion, he only heard a sound of footsteps outside!
"The eldest princess has arrived!"
Everyone hurriedly got up to pick up the car, Zhu Yuejun came to the general's mansion with four maidservants, just entered the hall, Zhu Yuejun quickly took a look around, only to see Li Hanyan in the hall, but there was no figure of Zhao Xuanyi, Zhu Yuejun's heart was empty in an instant!
Zhao ...... The general didn't come back? Zhu Yuejun looked at Li Hanyan and asked.
Li Hanyan shook her head: "My husband left home ten days ago, and I don't know where the person is until now!" ”
After Zhu Yuejun heard it, there was a sound in his head, his body staggered, and he almost didn't fall, Nanzhu helped Zhu Yuejun, "Eldest princess, how are you?" ”
Everyone also gathered around, for fear that Zhu Yuejun would have an accident, Zhu Yuejun waved his hand, "This palace is fine!" ”
Nanzhu hurriedly helped Zhu Yuejun to sit on the chair, and after a long time, he recovered, and everyone stood aside with their hands down, not daring to speak.
"Report ......!" A soldier ran into the hall from the outside and knelt on one knee, "Report to the general, the rebels have left Sichuan, and they should arrive in Henan in a day!" ”
"What?" Li Hanrui shouted in surprise.
Li Yukun sighed, "Unexpectedly, it is reasonable, General Zhao Shichang has been harassing the rebels for thirteen days with 10,000 soldiers, which is far beyond expectations!" ”
Zhu Yuejun took a few deep breaths, then slowly got up and looked at Li Yukun on the side, "General Li, do you have any plans so far?" ”
Li Yukun did not speak immediately, but walked to the sand table and pointed to the terrain with his command baton, "Henan has just experienced a catastrophe, and now it is still recovering, and there are no defenders in Henan, it is estimated that it will take less than three days at most, and the rebels will arrive in Beijing!" ”
After Li Hanrui saw it, his eyes were full of anger and roared, "Father, why don't you let me take the 20,000 people of our Tianshi Legion to follow General Zhao Shichang's example, break it into pieces, and go to Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi to continue to harass them, and persist until the eldest brother repels Wara and returns to the Beijing Division!" ”
"No!" Li Yukun immediately shouted: "The situation is completely different! General Zhao Shichang's subordinates are very familiar with the terrain of Guizhou and Huguang, so they can disperse and harass, these three places are not our strengths, if they are dispersed at this time, they will only consume troops, and they will not play the same role! ”
Zhu Yuejun turned his head to look at Tang Mi, "Tang Mi, you are our Ming Lady Zhuge , don't you have a good plan?" ”
Tang Mi looked at Zhu Yuejun, her mouth kept trembling, but she didn't speak!
"But it doesn't matter, in this situation, there is nothing to lose!" Zhu Yuejun said.
Tang Mi nodded, "Eldest princess, Tang Mi is not helpless, but there are no soldiers in his hands, this kind of battle, if Tang Mi is given 100,000 troops, I am confident that the rebels will be defeated, but now there are only 60,000!" And it is divided into three parts, without tacit understanding and cohesion! Battle effectiveness......? ”
