Chapter 267: Fight to the death for Your Majesty
Zhengyang six years.
Late November.
Ten kings entered Beijing, and now a month and a half has passed.
But what happened in a month and a half was enough to cause turmoil in the world.
First, after Ye Guo's team entered the capital, Chu Yujia made a big fuss in the capital.
Immediately, the imperial court wanted to recruit troops from the vassal states and enter the capital to serve as the army directly under the imperial court.
Finally, there was also Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao Yue Yan commanded the Yuyun Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty on behalf of Xu, and the Northwest Army of Ye State crusaded against Qianshu.
At the beginning, everyone felt that this was very likely to be a series of sets made by Wang Dantian, the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Kuan, the king of Ye, and the Son of Heaven, so they were unmoved.
Even Qianshu, who was pointed out by the soldiers of the two armies, didn't feel anything about it, and Wuyang, the king of Shu, still had to eat and drink every day, and didn't think about anything.
But in late November, with the order of Ji Hao, the Son of Heaven, the Northwest Army and the Yu Yun Army, the two most elite armies in the western part of the empire, suddenly launched a fierce attack on Qianshu.
The Northwest Army had an intersection with Qianshu as early as the beginning of the year, so the Northwest Army fought this battle with ease.
Although Chu Yujia still accompanied Zhao Kuan to stay in Beijing, the commanders of the Northwest Army had already completed the division of labor.
The light cavalry of the Northwest Army plunged in, and there were no chickens and dogs left in the places they passed.
The Modao heavy armored cavalry faced the battle head-on, and defeated the troops sent by Qianshu one after another.
The Hengdao battalion and the infantry battalion fought steadily and steadily, continued to advance, occupied the border pass of Hebei County Ganzhou Pass on the third day, and broke through the county capital Baozhou Mansion on the seventh day, so that Hebei County was declared lost.
The Northwest Army, under the combination of Chu Yujia's advanced tactical concepts and Meng Feihang's advanced tactical equipment, is definitely an epoch-making army.
How strong the combat effectiveness of this army is, it may not be possible to see it when it is taken out alone.
But compared with Yu Yunjun, who also entered Qianshu, he was superior.
It took more than a month for Yu Yun's army to break through Henan County, while it took only seven days for the Northwest Army to break through Hebei County.
Yu Yunjun's backwardness compared with the Northwest Army was not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in terms of tactical system.
Since Chu Yujia took charge of the Northwest Army, several commanders of the Northwest Army have been pulled out by him alone, whether it is Zhuang Jiade, Yan Tianrui, Yang Renqi, Chu Haojie, the commanders of the regular army, or Xu Gaoda, Qi Chong, these auxiliary army commanders, can be independent.
This also leads to the fact that even if Chu Yujia is not there, they will still not mess with the stitches, and they can still fight according to Chu Yujia's tactical concept.
But Yu Yunjun can't, there are not no commanders and generals in Yu Yunjun's independent leadership, but they all grew up in the shadow of Pu Chengshuang.
When Pu Chengshuang was in the army, he was a military and political master, and these generals could not be trained at all, so it can be said that the Yu Yun Army with Pu Chengshuang and the Yu Yun Army without Pu Chengshuang were completely two armies.
There is Pu Chengshuang's Yu Yunjun who looks down on him, and he is powerful in the south.
But without Pu Chengshuang's Yu Yun Army, it is an army that has no arms to cooperate except for its strong individual combat ability.
This is also where Pu Chengshuang is more annoyed and angry.
They are also armies of less than 100,000 people, and they are also the top armies in their respective countries.
But why can Chu Yujia sit in Beijing and don't care about anything every day, but he has to worry about it every day?
Now Pu Chengshuang can't wait to fly to the front line immediately and hang up those guys who command the battle and beat them up.
After the news from the front line came back, Wuyang, the king of Shu, was really panicked, and once again ran to Zhai Jiang, the king of Chu.
Chu King Zhai Jiang also didn't expect that Chu Yujia and Pu Chengshuang would really dare to send troops.
Of course, he is not a fool, of course he knows that all this was instructed by Wang Dantian and Zhao Kuan.
But he couldn't do anything about it.
What could he do?
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and fulfill his original promise and send a scout horse to inform the border army to march towards Shudi.
What he thought about was nothing more than to send the Western Chu army and the former Shu army to join forces, stabilize the situation in the former Shu first, and then discuss the matter in the long run.
However, he could think of this layer.
Didn't Chu Yujia, who designed all this, think of it?
In fact, when Wuyang, the king of Shu, and Zhai Jiang, the king of Chu, were talking secretly, Chu Yujia and Pu Chengshuang had already appeared in the imperial study of the Son of Heaven.
Ji Hao looked at Chu Yujia, his eyebrows tightened, and said, "Chu Aiqing, do you mean that Western Chu will send troops to rescue Qianshu next?"
"Yes. ”
Chu Yujia arched his hand and said: "If nothing else, within four days, the 150,000 troops of the Western Chu border army will enter the territory of Qianshu and form a confrontation with our army." ”
Hearing this, Ji Hao took a deep breath and said, "How is this really the case, what will be our form?"
"The form will be reversed. ”
"The situation of confrontation between the eight countries has actually been broken by our dispatch of troops to Qianshu. ”
Chu Yujia took a deep breath and said: "Now, His Royal Highness the King of Song has begun to shake a little, if our army continues to exert pressure, it can win in this war, and even destroy the former Shu, at that time, Your Majesty will definitely stand on the commanding heights, and no one in the world will be dissatisfied, but if the situation is reversed, and our army is forced out of the territory of Qianshu by the Western Chu army, then Your Majesty will fall into a passive situation, and the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Chu will also reach a peak, and even the imperial power will not be able to suppress him." ”
Chu Yujia raised his head and looked at Ji Hao, and said: "Even, the king of Chu will take the opportunity to send troops to invade the capital, all of them are the 200,000 soldiers in the capital who have been sparse for a long time, and it is barely enough to resist the Western Chu army for half a month, even if the rest of the princes and kings want to be rescued by King Qin, it is too late, I am afraid that the final outcome is that the royal family will be expelled from the capital and flee to Lucheng, the capital of the capital, and wait for King Wu Yueqin to rescue him." ”
"But this is also under the condition that His Royal Highness King Wu Yue is on the side of the royal family, if Wu Yue takes the opportunity to make trouble, then the royal family will no longer exist......"
Chu Yujia's words are true and false, but they are also reasonable.
And all this is what Ji Hao is most afraid of.
The imperial family cannot prosper in his own hands, and he does not want the imperial power to completely decline in his own hands, and even the last glory is not left.
After hearing Chu Yujia's words, Ji Hao opened his mouth and asked, "Then Chu Aiqing, is there a solution to this matter?"
"There is a solution. ”
Chu Yujia pursed his mouth, slightly embarrassed: "The minister discussed with General Pu before he came, and both of us are willing to personally lead His Royal Highness King Ye and His Royal Highness King Tang's guards to Qingfeng Mountain to block the Western Chu Army again, and at the same time, the two of us also ordered the Northwest Army and the Yu Yun Army to attack Qingzhou, the capital of the former Shu king, at all costs, once the city of Qingzhou is broken, the former Shu will no longer exist, and the territory of the former Shu will also be owned by His Majesty, at that time, even if the King of Chu has the idea of turning the tide, there is no such opportunity." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ji Hao's face was full of horror, and he said, "General Chu, General Pu, and the two kings' Praetorian Guards together are only 6,000 people, how can you resist the attack of 150,000 troops?"
Chu Yujia and Pu Cheng glanced at each other, then knelt on the ground and said in unison: "For Your Majesty, fight to the death!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Ji Hao almost cried on the spot.
When had he ever been so respected?
When had he ever been allegiance to death by such a capable man?
Ji Hao hurriedly got up from the sitting, walked to the front of the two, pulled the two up, and said with tears in his eyes: "It is my luck to have two generals, and it is also a blessing for the world......"
