Chapter 65 50,000 Forbidden Armor Soldiers Conquer Qi 10,000 Years
A few days later, the 50,000 elite guards of the imperial court brought by Meng Guan, Li Xuan, Zhou Chu and other generals finally arrived in Chang'an.
Lin Yi thought that a large army should be sent to conquer Qi Wannian as soon as possible, and with the strength of Chang'an City, only a few troops should be left to defend it.
Meng Guan and Li Ji were the opposite of him, thinking that the army should sit in Chang'an City, the thieves were heavy, with 100,000 soldiers, and the distance from Chang'an City could be left early and return late, so it was necessary to be strict Qi Wannian thieves to attack Chang'an. With Qi Wannian's strength and a lot of soldiers, I am afraid that the grain and grass will not last long, so only one fierce general needs to lead a strong army to drive from behind, and the people of Qi Wannian will be defeated without a fight. Who this fierce general is, it naturally falls on the shoulders of the surrounding places.
Lin Yi remembered that when he was studying in his previous life, there seemed to be a story in the Chinese textbook about "eliminating the three evils everywhere". Zhou was a native of Yixing (now Yixing City, Jiangsu Province). When Zhou was young, because he was the second generation of officials (but his father died early), he was five big and three thick, and his arm strength was outstanding, so he became a ruffian hooligan who was rampant and domineering in the local area. It is considered by the Yixing people to be the three evils along with the dragon in the river and the white-fronted tiger on the mountain. At this time, someone in Yixing persuaded Zhou to kill the tiger and the dragon, in fact, hoping that the three scourges would kill each other, and only one of them remained. He went around and killed the tiger on the mountain, and went down to the river to kill the dragon. The dragon sometimes floated and sometimes sank, and it drifted with the dragon for dozens of miles. After three days and three nights, the people of Yixing thought they were dead, and everyone celebrated with each other. But in the end, Zhou killed Jiaolong, and Hu Hansan came back. After he returned to his hometown, he heard that the villagers congratulated each other on thinking that he was dead, only to learn that he had been turned into a scourge like a dragon and a tiger by the world.
These three generals are only controlled by Lin Yi, but they are not directly subordinate to him, so Lin Yi is not easy to oppress people with power. However, Lin Yi absolutely did not allow the tragedy to happen in front of his eyes like this, and the imperial court only gave Zhou Chu 5,000 elite soldiers, even if Zhou was too brave, he was afraid that he would hit a stone with an egg. In the memory of Lin Yi's previous life, Zhou was killed in battle because of his upright personality and being excluded.
Zhou Chu was already close to the age of sixteen at this time, and his hair was more than half white, but looking at his dragon steps, his expression was very shimmering, and his appearance was almost like a middle-aged man in his forties. But he has no objection to this matter, he knows that as a dead Wu general, and because of his upright personality, he has long been excluded by countless Wei and Jin dynasty veterans, perhaps he has expected today's events on the day he went out, and he has already held the courage to return the horse leather shroud with strong ambitions, and the general will never return.
It seems that this person is not only talented, but also very abstinent and self-disciplined, otherwise this body would definitely not be so strong. That Liang Wang Sima Tong was a few years younger than Zhou, Lin Yi saw that he was already out of breath and panting, and he had to walk with two slaves to set up a square line, still with fine wine and beautiful women. Zhou has impeached Sima Tong, so Sima Tong has always had a suspicion of Zhou Chu, and he is afraid that this matter will be done by Meng Guan and others.
"No, I will never let such a tragedy happen, this will only chill the hearts of countless people in the world! Such a loyal old minister should die without a problem, not die in a foreign land!" Lin Yi said secretly in his heart.
This Meng Guan and Li Ji are Jia Hou's henchmen, and the two of them are here to supervise Lin Yi's actions, mainly to prevent him from making contributions easily, and the most important thing is that it is best to borrow the hands of foreign enemies in addition to him. Of course, Lin Yi understood their thoughts, so he said without thinking: "General Zhou is already over half a hundred years old, but I am afraid that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength, this king is willing to lead the East Palace guards and the elite of the forbidden army to conquer Qi for ten thousand years!"
The white beard of the chin around trembled in shock, the battle between the two armies was not like a child's house, this little doll was only afraid that it had eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall. Besides, this prince is the foundation of the country, if there are three long and two short, all of them will not be able to eat and catch them. Besides, although the princes of the Sima family all bear the name of the governor of the capital, how can there be any one in charge, just to eat, drink and have fun, and he does not seek merit and retreat without fear of sin! This prince used to be extravagant and erosive, and he never wrote to him when he was an official in the imperial history, and he has never had much contact with the prince, and at this time he actually spoke for the old man for some reason. Could it be that this prince is really as described by the government and the opposition, just like he was back then, he changed his past wrongs and turned back.
However, Zhou Chu thought like this in his heart at this time, and couldn't help but show a look of sympathy before he said: "Thank you Your Highness for your love, although the old minister is old, his heart to serve the country is not old!"
Meng Guan and Li Yi even talked a lot about the truth, no matter what, Lin Yi must not leave Chang'an. Lin Yi didn't expect them to be like this early, although he wished he was like this, but he still had to talk about the big truth in his mouth, and it was another bitter admonition.
"Why pretend like this!" Lin Yi scolded in his heart, and with an order, two strong men with fierce axes behind him had already come out, and these two people obediently retreated, and they didn't dare to speak.
"If something goes wrong with this, it won't matter much to us! Quickly report the situation here to Empress Jia!" Meng Guan and Li Ji withdrew from the Great General's Mansion with satisfaction.
Early in the morning of the second day, the army began to set out after a night's rest.
Lin Yi led the Xie Department, Zhou Chu, Sima Ya, Jiang Tong, Xu Chao, Shiyi and other fierce generals and strategists, led 30,000 Su guards, and 20,000 elite soldiers of the East Palace to go straight to the 10,000-year-old nest of Naqi. Liu Bian and Wang Dun stayed in Chang'an, recruiting more and more displaced people, Liu Bian is still responsible for the recruitment and training of displaced people, he has raised the recruitment standard more than once, and it is still in an endless stream, which has already exceeded 20,000. Wang Dun was appointed by Lin Yi as the chief of the Great General's Mansion in the west, stayed in the General's Mansion, was responsible for the internal and external affairs of the General's Mansion, and assisted Meng Guan and Li Jian in garrisoning Chang'an City.
Meng Guan and Li Yi were willing to take Lin Yi away so many guards, but Lin Yi had no choice but to draw his knife again, showing his rogue nature, and the two had to agree obediently.
"Sample, I thought it was still in Luoyang City, and the traitorous party of the poisonous queen will follow you! In this Chang'an City, everything here is in charge of the king!" Lin Yi couldn't help but scold in his heart. The reason why he left thousands of pro-army elites to assist in the garrison of Chang'an City was actually to supervise these two people. Moreover, Liu Bian and Wang Dun are both wise and brave, good at strategy, and the newly recruited 20,000 new troops are enough to deal with this emergency.
The news from Shanyuan, that Jia Mi reacted faster than Lin Yi imagined. Jia Wu and Jia Mi's mother and daughter went to the palace every day to complain, asking Empress Jia to send a holy decree, asking the prince to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and to send another prince to guard Guanzhong. It seems that Na Jia Mi has received the news of the failed assassination.
Although Shanyuan is very favored by Empress Jia in bed now, he does not dare to criticize the affairs of the court, lest Empress Jia suspect it, so he can only secretly inquire about the news. At present, most of the courtiers headed by Zhang Hua have blocked the decree of Jia Hou and his party on the grounds that the order of the court has been changed, but this can only be blocked for a while, and I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be a holy decree to return to Beijing.
It seems that there is not much time left for me, and I must speed up.
