Chapter 281: Crusade against Yuan Ding
Under a series of intense secret coordination, the day of the expedition has finally arrived. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the early morning of this day, Yuan got up and wore a golden Youlong Xiaotian Armor, dragged a white Shuanglong jade forging brocade cloak behind him, and climbed to the one-zhang high Dianjiang platform. Here, he will recite the sacrificial text, and the shaman will go on the expedition!
Yuan Qi gradually came to the center of Dianjiangtai, here, the black martyr's monument has been placed in advance, and countless names are densely engraved with red lacquer. The owners of these names are no longer alive, but they used their loyalty and bravery to leave their martyrs' names on the martyrs' monuments.
After silently looking at the Martyrs' Monument for a while, Yuan Qi suddenly turned around and looked at the 100,000 troops who were ready to go. A deep voice sounded from Yuan Qi's mouth: "Soldiers, you are all elite soldiers under the command of a certain commander, and the robes who engraved their names on the monument of loyalty and martyrs have proved this with their lives! Tell Ben Hou that in the face of war and even death, are you afraid?"
100,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Swear to follow the lord to the death!" The voice of each soldier carried the momentum of seeing death as home, many of them, including those foreign warriors, their family members were under the politics of Yuan Qi, received favors, and saw the hope of life, so they were willing to fight for Yuan Qi, and were willing to fight for Yuan Qi's dream of dominating the world in his heart.
Yuan Qi looked at the 100,000 soldiers who were available in the army, and suddenly felt a wave of emotion in his heart. It is these soldiers who help themselves step by step towards the goal of great unification.
Slowly took out a sacrificial text, and Yuan Qi read it out excitedly: "The prince of the ministers, the hussar general, and the governor of the five northern states Yuan Qi, I respectfully tell heaven and earth: There is a great general Yuan Ding, who does not respect the orders of the Son of Heaven, divides Ji and Qing, and does not have the heart of the minister on the paper, and is willing to replace the Son of Heaven to conquer Yuan Ding." Restore the two states to the territory of the Yuan family. In order to comfort the hearts of the people of Erzhou! Now count Yuan Ding's crimes, so that everyone in the world knows that Yuan Ding is against his heart! In the past, the eunuchs seized power, Fan Jin was in chaos, and Yuan Ding was the head of the eight captains of the West Garden. Do not want to be loyal to the thief. Instead, he instigated Fan Jin to recruit Dong Meng. It was really an unwise move to cause cholera in the DPRK, and it was also a crime! Dong Meng entered Beijing. Instead of thinking about being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, it is really an act of disloyalty to abandon the monarch and flee abroad, and these two crimes are also! Urging the princes of the world to raise troops and taking the opportunity to divide the cronies and henchmen, causing Yuan Bai and others to become bigger, and even arrogating the title of emperor has occurred, which is really an unrighteous act, and these three crimes are also! Taking advantage of the occasion of the fight against Dong, he secretly ordered his subordinates to invade and seize Jizhou, forced to death the former Jizhou Mu Han Fu, and caused a large number of Jizhou people to lose their lives on the battlefield.
The eight major crimes listed by Yuan Qi are only the most representative eight of them, such as Shaxian setting up an ambush with the intention of murdering Yuan Qi, and other things, Yuan Qi did not write in the sacrificial text at all. When Yuan Qi finished reading the inscription, 100,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill this fang, to correct the world!"
Raising his hands and pressing them falsely, he signaled the soldiers to be quiet, and Yuan Qi gave the order to go out: "Zhao Hu, I order you to lead the 5,000-day return army and 10,000 infantry troops as the vanguard, open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and clear the way for our army!" In the past, Zhao Hu was the commander of the pro-guard army, guarding Yuan Qi's side, but Yuan Qi has always felt that this is too wronged Zhao Hu, and it is too wasteful of Zhao Hu's talent, and for more than ten years, Zhao Hu's ability to lead troops to fight, Yuan Qi is very clear, even if it is not as good as a first-class famous general, but it is not much different, now, Yuan Qi decided to officially put Zhao Hu on the front stage, let him lead the army alone, and tap all his energy.
Zhao Hu beat his chest with his right fist on horseback, and replied loudly: "No!"
Following Zhao Hu, Yuan Qi named the names of two more people: "Zhang Chong and Xu Fang, order you two to lead 10,000 troops each, divided into left and right wings, and keep within a distance of fifty miles from the army, echoing back and forth!"
Zhang Chong and Xu Fang rode out of the crowd, and at the same time replied loudly: "No!"
"Huang Yong, I order you to lead 10,000 troops, as a rear alliance, to supervise the army's grain and grass!, and you can freely decide on the matter of attacking Yuan's army's grain road!" Yuan Qi said again.
"No!" Huang Yong, who never obeys the old age, has not set foot on the battlefield for a long time, because among the generals under Yuan Qi, Huang Yong is the oldest, although he has a hot temper, but he is still quite old and serious in the overall situation, so in the battles of the repeated conquest of foreign races, in order to prevent Yuan Ding from attacking Youzhou, Huang Yong has been arranged by Yuan Qi to guard in Yanjing, which has long filled Huang Yong with a desire to fight, and this time he was finally taken out by Yuan Qi, so his answer voice was particularly loud and excited.
Yuan Qi glanced at the army for the last time, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "The rest of the people, wait for the rest of the people, carry up the monument of loyalty and martyrs, and go out with Benhou!" At this moment, 100,000 soldiers were instantly ignited, raised their right arms and waved in the direction of Yuan Qi, shouting loudly: "Go out! Go out!!Go out to !! battle."
When the morale of the Yuan Qi army was high, Yuan Xie, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the capital, was a little worried. Gathered around Yuan Xie were more than a dozen loyal ministers of the Yuan clan, including Zhong Xuan, Huangfu Chu, Zhu Huan, etc. Yuan Xie sighed, and said a little incomprehensibly: "Brother Huang has always done things with a plan and then acted, and if he doesn't make a sound, he has already made a blockbuster, why should he be so reckless this time? Yuan Ding is located in the half of Jizhou and Qingzhou, the population is the most dense and prosperous, there are many soldiers, and it is not easy to conquer."
Before Yuan Qi set out on the expedition, he had already sent someone to send the secret music to Yuan Xie's hands through Mingzhou. The matter of the conquest of Yuan Ding was explained in detail, and when the Yuan Qi priest set out on the expedition, this letter had also been taken by the Yuan Xie. After Yuan Xie watched it, he was worried in his heart, afraid that Yuan Qi would lose his troops in this battle, so he would no longer have anything to rely on, and hurriedly summoned more than a dozen ministers to see how to make up for this matter. Wait until you have recuperated. The supply of soldiers is sufficient, the food is sufficient, and he is going to recruit Yuan Ding. After all, Jizhou is the most densely populated and abundant state today. Yuan Ding has been in Jizhou for so long. I got half of Qingzhou again. With nearly one million soldiers under his command, Yuan Xie is really worried about what accidents will happen to Yuan Qi.
Zhong Miao and the others looked at Yuan Qi's recitals before and after, and Huang Fuchu took the lead in speaking: "Shengshang." According to the old minister, this battle, the champion Hou is still sure to win, and the saint does not need to worry too much. ”
At that time, Captain Changshui said worriedly: "What the boss said is wrong. Although the champion Hou was the champion of the three armies, and repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak and outnumbered, the difference in strength between the two sides at that time was not particularly large. But this time, the champion Hou actually used an army of 100,000 to recruit Yuan Ding, who had millions of soldiers, what is the difference between this and hitting a stone with an egg?"
Because the communication facilities were still very backward, Ugong Terulie raised troops in Yanzhou, and the news of Yuan Qi had not yet reached the capital, so he thought that Yuan Qi was the only one to conquer Yuan Ding, so he expressed great concern about Yuan Qi's chances of victory.
Zhu Huan, another veteran with outstanding achievements, said slowly: "It's hard to say. In the past, when they were crusading against Yuan Bai, Ugong Sikong and the champion Hou Zeng Qingmei cooked wine, talked about the heroes of the world, and finally concluded that among the princes of the world, only these two can be called heroes. Heroes, there must always be some unexpected deeds, then they are called heroes. According to the previous record of the champion Hou, the ratio of soldiers to ten is not much of a disparity, maybe, he will really create a miracle again, just now there is a saying in the saint is very appropriate, the champion Hou is not Ming, a Ming must be amazing. We have reason to expect a big win for him. ”
After hearing Zhu Huan's affirmation, Yuan Xie's heart was a little flustered, calmed down a lot, and carefully recalled the bits and pieces of getting along with Yuan Qi before, Yuan Xie thought that his imperial brother would always be a person who was good at creating miracles, and it was normal for anything incredible to happen in him. Thinking of this, the confidence in Yuan Qi began to burst out again bit by bit, and took root again in Yuan Xie's heart.
Zhong Xuan didn't speak, but lowered his head as if he was thinking about something carefully, and it wasn't until this moment that he raised his head and said firmly: "Don't worry, don't worry, this battle, champion Hou will win!"
Although Huang Fuchu and Zhu Huan also expressed optimism about the prospects of Yuan Qi's expedition, they were by no means as firm as Zhong Xuan. Zhong Xuan's words aroused Yuan Xie's curiosity, and he couldn't help asking, "Taifu, why are you so sure?"
Zhong Xuan said slowly: "Yuan Ding has ten defeats, and the champion Hou has ten victories, although Yuan Ding has many soldiers and horses, but the old minister expects that he will be powerless." Ding's etiquette is complicated, the champion Hou is naturally decent, and the Tao is victorious; Qing, the champion Hou is the commander of the north with the division of justice, and the righteousness wins; Ding is lenient and wide, and cannot rectify the crisis, the champion Hou is strict in his orders, and he is strict in governing the government, and he is victorious; Ding is wide outside and jealous inside, and he is suspicious of himself, and the champion Hou Jingbing is simple in government, and he is not suspicious in employing people, and he is meritocratic, regardless of his relatives, and his temperament is victorious; Ding is more conscientious and less decided, and the champion Hou is infinite and seeks victory; Ding is in the family of the fourth and third princes, he likes to talk and value reputation, and most of his subordinates are sycophants, and the champion Hou treats people with sincerity and convinces people with virtue, and the famous generals under his command are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain, and virtue wins; Ding sees that people are hungry, and his compassion is overflowing, and the people he can't see are completely out of his considerationDing's subordinates are full of traitors, competing for power, and the champion Hou is strict under his rule, and the civil and military work together, and Ming Sheng; Ding does not know the etiquette, and the champion Hou has a basis for advancing and retreating, and he is courteous, and he is righteous and victorious; Ding is very happy and does not know the military strategy, and the champion Hou is like a god with soldiers, and the martial arts are also victorious. With these ten defeats and ten victories, why should the Holy One worry?"
Zhong Xuan's words caused everyone to ponder, and everyone, including Yuan Xie, was carefully experiencing the place where Yuan Qi was superior to Yuan Ding in these ten wins and ten defeats. And as a result of their thinking, they unexpectedly found that Yuan Qi was indeed as Zhong Xuan said, and he was much smarter than Yuan Ding in every place, whether it was from his own temperament to the degree of control over the army, and even the aspirations of the officials and the people under his rule, Yuan Qi was completely superior to Yuan Ding.
After a long time, Yuan Xie slapped the armrest on the dragon chair and praised loudly: "What a theory of ten wins and ten defeats, I really have unique insights and meticulous analysis! I can finally put my mind at ease and wait for the good news of the imperial brother!" Not only Yuan Xie, but also the seed series who was not optimistic about the prospects of Yuan Qi's expedition before, also removed the worry on his face and showed a knowing smile.
