782: Don't come unharmed, Lu Ze's ambition
The news of the war between the Northern Yan and the Western Frontier Army spread all over the world in an instant.
The name of the god of war of King Wuwei makes the enemy tremble!
This is a full 50,000 elite of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, and the Northern Yan Imperial Court hid the sharp sword of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry in the Yanyun Plain, although it has not been unsheathed in these years, no one will doubt the sharpness of this sword.
But no one thought that the reappearance of the Beiyan Iron Cavalry in the eyes of the world was actually in such a defeated posture.
This time, the annihilation of the entire army of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry brought too much impact to the people of the world, and people can't help but begin to doubt the combat power of the army of Northern Yan, the country of martial arts, similar things happened again, and similar flowers bloomed again in this spring.
Before Dayu was destroyed, people also gave such suspicions.
Why is the royal army so soft?
You can't be tougher!
Today, the story is going in the same direction.
It's just that now the protagonist of the story has been replaced by Beiyan Iron Cavalry.
The specific details of this battle only circulated in the upper echelons of the Northern Yan Dynasty.
The terrifying crossbow became the winner of the first meeting between the two sides.
Lu Ze's first move on the Northern Yan chessboard directly engulfed the 50,000 elite iron horsemen of Northern Yan, even Emperor Yan, who was in the prime of life and had a heart for the whole world, felt that one of his arms had been cut off by force, and he felt heartfelt pain and distress.
"Lu Ze, the king of Wuwei, is worthy of the name of the god of war in the Western Realm."
"But the war is far from over, if my Northern Yan ministers are not willing to be the same as the Dayu who bowed down to him, then cheer up my capital, this is a war to defend the territory of my Yan country, everyone needs to work hard."
In the Northern Yan Palace, Emperor Yan delivered a mobilization speech after the defeat in the first battle.
It's just that after the court meeting, Emperor Yan, who was originally energetic and seemed to have put down the defeat from his heart, had obvious worries flashing on his face.
Returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Yan Murong Yun sighed heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "Tuoba Hao, that waste thing, made a military order to me, and finally grabbed the position of the vanguard in the hands of the generals and princes, and my 50,000 men in Da Yan followed him and lost them outside the Yin Mountain Pass, this battle, I really lost too many things." ”
At this time, Emperor Yan was not talking to himself.
There is also a middle-aged man standing beside Emperor Yan in the Palace of Heart Cultivation, the man is dressed in a purple prince's robe, and his waist wears a dragon jade belt exclusive to the royal family of Yan Kingdom, his facial features are sharp and angular, standing with Emperor Yan, there is a faint resemblance between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Brother Huang doesn't have to be sad because of the defeat in the first battle, we in Beiyan still have to look forward after all."
"The army from the west has trekked here, there is a problem with the supply of grain and grass, and Lu Ze, the king of Wuwei, has rebelled against the emperor and completely broken with the Daliang royal family.
The person who spoke at this moment was Murong Qi, the Marquis of Northern Yan, the younger brother of Emperor Beiyan's mother.
At the same time, he is also the commander of the 130,000 Northern Yan Iron Cavalry.
Emperor Yan bowed slightly, and his face finally became less ugly, but the pain in his heart was difficult to hide for a while.
In this war, there are not many things that Beiyan can rely on, and the elite Beiyan Iron Cavalry lost nearly half of it in the first battle, and now there are only 80,000 Iron Cavalry left, which is undoubtedly a little stretched for the follow-up war.
Except for the successive defeats of the Western Frontier Army, the overall strategy of the Yan Army should still be based on defensive counterattacks.
Talking to the imperial brother about the trickiness of King Wuwei, Emperor Yan muttered to himself: "How could such a peerless figure be born in Daliang?" ”
When Murong Qi heard this, he coughed twice with an unnatural expression.
Only then did Emperor Yan react.
He laughed and touched his neck: "Good head, just cut it off." ”
......
It's not just Emperor Yan who has a headache, but the new emperor Xiao Jingyan of Jinling City also has a headache.
When the report of the first battle between the Western Frontier Army and the Northern Yan reached Jinling, the ministers fell into a long silence.
Lu Ze did commit a great rebellion, but people have to admit that King Wuwei was indeed like a god with his soldiers, and brought the originally weak Western Army into a tiger and wolf army like this, and wiped out 50,000 Northern Yan Iron Cavalry.
And the birth of the brand-new powerful crossbow made the magnates of Jinling City feel a sense of crisis.
If one day Da Liang really meets the battlefield of the Western Army, then they will be the ones to face this bloodthirsty killing weapon.
At the court meeting, the ministers did not agree on their opinions.
Some people think that the imperial court now needs to take advantage of this opportunity to set off a two-pronged attack on Beiyan.
And some people feel that at this time, they can take the initiative to attack the western border, at least recover the land of Qizhou, Lu Ze is no longer the official Wuwei King of the imperial court, and the land of Qizhou must return to the control of the Great Liang court.
What's more, it is also suggested that at this time, you can cooperate with the Northern Yan and attack the western army from both ends.
"Your Majesty, Lu Zenai, the king of Wuwei, is a rebellious body."
"Now that the mighty attack on Beiyan is being carried out, if my Liang does not move again, I am afraid that Jinling in the near future will be the next target of the Western Army."
What the ministers said is reasonable.
Xiao Jingyan felt a deep headache because of this.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Liang court has inevitably moved.
There are still three fires for the new official to take office, not to mention the new emperor who ascended to the supreme position under special circumstances.
Since the rehabilitation of the Chiyan Lin family and King Qi, Xiao Jingyan, the new emperor, has become more and more comfortable with the control of the imperial court.
In Mei Changsu's established plan, there was already a general policy about Xiao Jingyan's accession to the throne, although the final situation did not develop according to Jiang Zuo Meilang's expectations, but at least the 'newcomers' who were replaced by the six ministries could really do practical things for the court and the people.
If it weren't for the existence of Lu Ze, the situation would have changed too much, and at this time, Daliang should still be recuperating, restructuring and eliminating disadvantages, and restoring the people's and military strength of the first power in the Central Plains.
In the Wuying Palace, the ministers discussed enthusiastically.
Of course, the courtiers don't have a good impression of Lu Ze, the hero of the Western Realm.
It's too cruel to kill people at every turn.
Especially at this time, many of the courtiers are old people from the previous dynasty, who have experienced the murder of the monarch, and every time they look at the dragon chair that symbolizes the supreme position of the Ninety-Five, their thoughts will always return to the morning of the early dynasty, which is a shocking picture.
Xiao Jingyan was silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"It is necessary to raise troops and go north."
"But who is the commander in chief, and how to formulate the strategy for the battle, I will announce that the ministers will enter the Yang Xin Palace and then discuss it."
The emperor has not yet made a decision.
However, the resolution to raise troops to recover the western frontier was invisibly rejected.
When Xiao Jingyan talked to Mei Changsu in private, the latter said bluntly: "If the target is set in the west, King Wuwei will directly choose to turn the horse's head and go south directly to Jinling, do you want to compete who will capture the opponent's base camp first?" ”
What's in the West?
There is nothing in the western realm, even if it really falls, the western army still has the border of Dayu that is tens of millions of miles deep.
But if something happens here in Jinling City, then Daliang is really not far from the dead country.
In the city of Jinling, which is full of spring, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and the grass grows and warblers fly.
Whether it is the fall of Dayu or the destruction of the 50,000 iron cavalry of Northern Yan, in fact, it has not affected the prosperity and liveliness of the imperial capital of Daliang, but because the border is in wartime, and the business in the teahouse and wine shop is surprisingly good.
The storyteller paints a vivid picture of the border war.
"Lu Ze, the commander of the Western Frontier Army, shouted in front of the battle to no avail, and shouted angrily, 'Ah! I have heard for a long time that the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry is brave, but I didn't expect that they are all small people, look at my spear, and take your life'! ”
"Good! What a majestic Wuwei King! ”
"He wears a three-pronged purple and gold crown, hangs a Xichuan red brocade and hundred flower robes, holds a red tasseled spear, and has a white jade horse under his crotch."
"It's too late, that's fast..."
Hearing that Tuoba Hao, the general of the Northern Yan, was stabbed in the throat by King Wuwei, the guests in the teahouse applauded one after another, and they all heard it with red faces and red ears, only to feel that the majestic King Wuwei was coming to him, killing the enemy bravely, and the army took the head of the enemy general from the inside, so that he was chic and brave.
The storyteller is old and his hair is white, and at this time, he is not in a hurry to drink tea and moisten his throat, and he wakes up wood in his hand and shoots the case heavily.
Under the enthusiastic gaze of the audience, the old man smiled: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next decomposition!" ”
- Phew!
The cries arose, and the old man quietly left with the case.
On the second floor of this tea shop, the audience laughed and cursed, and threw a few copper plates at the little guy who came up to ask for money around the log dustpan.
The window on the second floor is a few tea guests dressed in plain clothes, the innermost guest is dressed in light white plain clothes, his hair is meticulously arranged, his face looks a little pale, he stretched out his hand, and the young man in Tsing Yi behind him took the copper plates, and when the little guy came over, he happily threw the copper plates into the wooden dustpan.
"Cut, this storyteller is talking nonsense."
"Then Tuoba Hao was clearly beheaded by a long knife, where was he stabbed to death by a spear?"
"And Lu Ze, the commander of the Western Frontier Army, when do you like to wear red and green to battle?"
"And how can anyone wear a purple and gold crown to battle, this is very distressing if it is lost or broken during the war."
Feiliu came to the person who spoke, stomped his foot heavily, and snorted coldly: "No! ”
"Isn't it? Can the information I got be fake? Lin Chen, the young pavilion master of Langya Pavilion, looked at Mei Changsu very dissatisfied, "You invited me, a doctor, to Jinling from thousands of miles away, and entertained me with such coarse tea and light meals?" The storyteller's story isn't as good as the one I tell it, isn't it? ”
"It's not!"
The angry Feiliu returned to Mei Changsu's side.
The latter spoke softly and said a few words steadily, and then looked at Lin Chen with a helpless expression: "You tea guest, what do you have to deliberately pick thorns?" ”
Lin Chen pursed his lips: "It's not because the shops on Luoshi Street are closed." ”
First of all, the Empress Dowager banned music during the national mourning.
Later, I finally waited for the later stage of the national funeral, and Emperor Liang died suddenly.
The business of Luoshi Street became unsatisfactory, especially after the new emperor ascended the throne, the ministers knew what Xiao Jingyan's temperament was, and they didn't dare to go to the leisure and fun with great fanfare, and they didn't even want to go to the land boat to have a serious hot pot.
After Lu Ze killed the king, the Beijing Mansion of Wuwei Wangfu was seized and recovered.
Even the land boat was seized, and many of the treasures left on the treasure wall were filled into the treasury.
When Lu Ze sent Xia Jiang to Jinling City last year, he also wrote a letter to Mei Changsu: "Mr. Lao Su helped me take care of the land boat, and the family of the Baibao Wall was recovered by the treasury, after all, it was all won back with the Xiao family's capital." ”
Lu Ze acted as a sub-angel investor at the Nihuang County Lord's Son-in-law Selection Conference, and ate all the major gambling houses in Kyoto.
Now, the principal and interest have all been repaid.
Mei Changsu sighed silently in his heart.
Lu Ze's conspiracy is a headache.
But what really gave him and Jing Yan a headache was the front and combat power of the Western Army, which had surpassed the Great Liang by too much at this time, and the sudden appearance of the brand-new and powerful crossbow in the Battle of Beiyan became a bloody weapon to kill the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry.
What such a weapon means on the battlefield, Mei Changsu knows very well.
Jiang Zuo Meilang is known as a last resort.
But he couldn't figure out how many things were still hidden in Lu Ze's pocket.
Back at Su's house, Feiliu was still sullen.
Lin Chen said bluntly to Mei Changsu: "When are we going back to Langzhou?" At this time, the situation is a dead end, you can't solve it at all, Lu Ze has calculated your thoughts with the new emperor, and knows that you can't make up your mind to stab the Western Army from behind. ”
On the battlefield, there has never been the word pedantic, and these two words have nothing to do with Lin Shu, the young marshal of Chiyan.
The army of the Western Frontier Army did not listen to the edict of the imperial court, which was already considered a rebellious act, but those sergeants had just taken Dayu and destroyed the biggest opponent in Dayu for hundreds of years, and now they were fighting with the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry in the north.
At this time, if you choose to stab you in the back, then the situation of Daliang and Jinling City will be much better.
Liang and the army of the Western Realm, whoever blows the horn to tear the face first, the meaning is different, everyone belonged to the same robe before, even if they are opposed to each other at this time, but if they really let them meet each other and kill the red eye, then everyone will have different thoughts in their hearts.
How can you not be red-faced when you say goodbye, then you can only kill red-eyed?
The biggest problem now is that the military strength of the Great Liang is not comparable to the strong Western Frontier Army, and even the Northern Yan cannot be compared.
No wonder the new emperor Xiao Jingyan has not made up his mind for so long.
What Mei Changsu was thinking in his heart was: Did Lu Ze really expose his back to them?
......
In the north, there is a hint of warmth in the spring breeze.
It is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, but the battle between the Western Frontier Army and the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry fills the air with the smell of blood that has not dissipated for a long time.
Under the moonlit night, Lu Ze rode his horse to the camp, and only a few guards followed him, and entered the tent, inside was a very familiar face of Lu Ze: "Lord Xia Dong, I haven't seen you for a few years, don't come unharmed?" ”
Xia Dong looked at Lu Ze with a complicated face.
Once upon a time, she also warned Lu Ze several times in Jinling City, don't do anything illegal, there is a hanging mirror Si Mingjing.
But now that they meet again, Lu Ze has already been charged with the crime of killing the monarch and rebelling, and even the head of the Hanging Mirror Division and her master Xia Jiang were sent back to Jinling as gifts, and were executed by Ling Chi in the rehabilitation of the Chiyan case.
"Don't come unharmed..."
