Chapter 59: Sending Troops

The battle of Wild Wolf Valley achieved a great victory, retreating hundreds of miles to the enemy, but did not cause a serious blow to the Tufan army, after the army led by Deyong in the area of the Qingshui River to recuperate, and transferred 150,000 reinforcements from the northern region, a total of 400,000 troops, and attacked Wuling Prefecture. The Dafeng army was difficult to resist, so they had to shrink back into the city of Wulingzhou and defend it to the death. At the same time, Pegasus sent a message asking the imperial court to send reinforcements.

At this time, it was an unusually lively scene in Tongyuan City in the Western Regions, and the exiled people who had lost their land in the Northern Regions had filled the small county town with a lot at this time. The refugees dragged their families and families to occupy all the vacant land in the county.

Many of these refugees who fled from the northern region fled to the south, but the two sides were fighting fiercely on the north-south passage, and other passages to the south were also cut off by Dafengguo.

A large number of refugees gathered outside the city, with nowhere to stay, and even some officers and soldiers who had withdrawn from the south were turned away, and for a time the crowd was very dissatisfied with the imperial court, and riots and riots broke out in many places.

Later, when I heard that the county seat in the Western Regions could accept refugees, those refugees who fled south changed their routes to the west and came to Tongyuan County.

Many refugees arrived in Tongyuan County only to find that this is already the territory of the king of Zhenxi, these people originally hated the incompetence of Dafengguo, causing their families to be ruined and displaced, and Tongyuan City is very humane to the refugees, distributing relief food every day, providing free medical treatment, and giving free carriages and horses to those who are willing to go outside the dismount pass, so the refugees are constantly rushing to come.

Due to the vast and sparsely populated area of the entire Western Regions, it is not a problem for the county towns outside Xiamaguan to accept hundreds of thousands of refugees, and these refugees are also very welcome to come and settle down.

Under the command of King Yuwen, Tongyuan County properly resettled refugees on the one hand, and actively recruited troops on the other. The young and middle-aged refugees were also worried about having no livelihood, so they defected to the barracks, and the officers and soldiers who had fled in defeat also joined the army of the Western Regions.

Zhao Jian was very busy, and in just a few days, he had recruited nearly 20,000 new soldiers, and if he continued, he could expand the number of troops in the city to nearly 200,000 in a month or two.

Zhao Jian learned the lesson of the last time, carefully screened the recruits, mixed the recruited recruits with the original troops, and trained them separately with the old and the new. There was an upsurge of large-scale military training in the city.

After hearing the news, the king of Zhenxi was afraid that Yuwen's army would take advantage of this rapid development and growth and pose a threat to him, so he immediately ordered and issued preferential treatment for refugees fleeing south, welcoming the refugees to settle down outside the Xiama Pass, distributing land and settling allowances, and giving heavy rewards to the young and middle-aged people from Rong.

Driven by this policy, the city of Xiama Guancheng suddenly became very lively, the number of conscripts rose sharply, and the morale of the people and soldiers in the entire Western Regions was greatly boosted. But the king of Zhenxi didn't seem to be happy, and looked worried all day long.

The military advisor Wang Jianyi understood the reason, and one day he met the king of Zhenxi and said: "The lord has been depressed recently, why is he worried?"

"Alas, without him, I am only afraid of raising tigers. King Zhenxi shook his head and replied.

"If the king is concerned about this, I have a plan to ease the king's worries. ”

"If the military advisor has any clever plan, you might as well tell me. ”

"The king can know that now the war in the Central Plains is urgent, the Tufan 400,000 troops are besieging Wulingzhou City, and the imperial court is also urgently ordering several Fan kings to transfer troops to support, and the two sides have been bitterly occupying for nearly a month, which is comparable. Now the defense around the capital has been empty, almost into a lonely city, the king can take the opportunity to send troops directly to the capital, forcing the current emperor to give way to the orthodox prince of the Wu family, then the world can return to the heart. ”

"It's easy to say, do you know that the 500,000 forbidden troops in the capital have not been mobilized, how can you say that the defense is empty?"

"What the king said is very true, but the 500,000 forbidden troops have been guarding the capital for a long time, pampered and pampered, and they are not good at fighting, so there is nothing to fear. And from now on, a little vacation, the king and King Yuwen should raise 500,000 troops together should not be a problem, then please Yuwen King lead the troops as the forward, the king presses the back, straight to the capital, the matter is successful, then the king can be abolished and the grand wish of the heir, if the matter fails, the king can still retreat to the Western Regions, in order to protect the whole body, but the king of Yuwen will definitely suffer a heavy blow, but also forget the trouble of the henchmen. As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, he shook his head very proudly.

After listening to what he said, the king of Zhenxi pondered for a long time, and then he raised a big thumb to the military advisor and said, "This plan is very good, but do you think he will agree to enter the Beijing division?"

"If he refuses to send troops, the king can also transfer all the troops of Tongyuan City and let Lord Chu serve as the vanguard, so King Yuwen can't and won't let the king send troops, right? ”

"What I said is extremely true, in this way, I think tomorrow you will go to Tongyuan City in person to persuade King Yuwen and this king to enter the capital together and force the palace to abolish the emperor. After that, King Zhenxi slapped his palm heavily on the desk, as if he was relieved for a while, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

The next day, the military advisor Wang Jianyi led a dozen or so retinues, and went straight to Tongyuan City with a light car and a fast horse.

When I was about to arrive at Tongyuan City, I heard the military horn loud and the military drum beating from afar, and I saw the flag outside Tongyuan City, and the crowd was surging, as if there was an army assembled.

It turned out that King Yuwen was assembling a team outside Tongyuan City, and nearly 200,000 troops were neatly arranged under the city, well distributed, uniform in action, high morale, and a majestic military style.

After receiving the report from the herald, King Yuwen and the general soldiers of Chu personally greeted the front of the battle and met with Lord Wang.

"Dare to ask what alarmed Lord Wang's new city, what advice do you have?" asked King Yuwen as he rode up.

Wang Jian got down from the carriage early in the morning, walked quickly to the front, and bowed: "I don't dare to go down, but I was entrusted by the king of Zhenxi to come and discuss important matters with King Yuwen." ”

"Ha, ha. King Yuwen laughed and said: "I have received the intention of the king of Zhenxi, you see that I am not assembling a team, and I will send troops immediately." I don't know if I'm right to guess the king's intentions?"

"King Yuwen Gao Jian, it is really the same as the hero's vision, this is exactly the king's intention, and it is also the purpose of my trip, but I was already known by the adult, and Weichen had to obey it. ”

"Fortunately, this move is the same as the king's plan, we feel honored and confident, and we will definitely make a contribution, but please return to the king, and wait for the good news. After King Yuwen finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and waved his hand to Wang Jianyi: "The soldiers are fast, the hour has come, we will send troops immediately, I will not send each other, Lord Wang, please go back." ”

Without waiting for Wang Junshi to answer, King Yuwen led Chu General Soldier and other people to ride back to the camp and leave without dust, leaving only Wang Jian and others in the same place.
