Chapter 3589 Jingyang
Chapter 1433
Yu Wenjie didn't think so. He persisted: "Zhao Guogong Mingjian, compared with Fang Jun ravaging Jingyang, Sanyuan and other places and then sending his army directly to Baqiao, the line on the Weishui River is more important! In the end, the top priority is still to capture In Taiji Palace, if Fang Jun and Gao Kan's tribe merge, it is very likely that the county government will be defeated."
The half of the Youtun Guards led by Gao Kan is so powerful that the Guanlong army does not dare to attack them lightly at the moment. Fortunately, the battle situation in Chang'an City was quite smooth. The imperial city had been completely captured. Chengtianmen, Yeting and other places had been breached. The army broke into Taiji Palace and started a fierce battle. All they had to do was block the north of Xuanwu Gate, leaving the East Palace with no way out. But retreating, victory will naturally come sooner or later.
But once Changsun Heng'an's troops are defeated, everything will be calm outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the six leaders of the East Palace can protect the prince and evacuate at will.
And once the prince evacuates Tai Chi Palace and even rushes to Hexi with Fang Jun's support, there will be endless troubles...
Changsun Wuji disagreed with this: "Although my brother is not familiar with battle formations, he has a calm temperament and a solid military strategy. His aggressiveness may be lacking, but his defense is enough. You can rest assured that Gao Kan will fight alone. It is impossible to defeat my brother while taking into account the safety of Xuanwu Gate.”
Since Changsun Wuji spoke like this, what else could Yuwenjie say?
He could only nod and obey the order. After withdrawing, he gathered his men and dispatched scouts. He left Baqiao and crossed the Dongwei Bridge to the north. He rushed to Sanyuan, Jingyang, Yunyang and other places to warn the chief officials of each county, and then investigated Fang Jun's army. Please report your whereabouts in a timely manner.
In fact, there is no need to warn. Soldiers and horses from all over the pass have gathered in Chang'an City, and the garrison strength is empty. Even if they are well prepared, it is impossible to resist Fang Jun's tens of thousands of cavalry raids. The fall of each county is inevitable.
The only thing that troubled Yu Wenjie was whether he should remind the Jingyang County Magistrate to burn the grain storage in Changping Granary before Fang Jun's army arrived?
Just now in front of Changsun Wuji, he wanted to remind him of this, but he hesitated and did not speak...
Fang Jun's tens of thousands of troops marched for thousands of miles, non-stop all the way. They must be lightly armed and carried extremely limited provisions. From Xiaoguan to Xianyang, grain and fodder from Yong, Yi and other counties had already been transported to Chang'an to supply more than 100,000 Guanlong troops. It was impossible for Fang Jun to obtain supplies. The only place where he could obtain a large amount of grain and fodder was Changpingcang in Jingyang.
As long as Changpingcang is burned down, Fang Jun will inevitably fall into the dilemma of lack of food. Tens of thousands of cavalry consume a huge amount of food and fodder every day, which cannot be solved easily. This will leave Fang Junkong with tens of thousands of powerful cavalry, but unable to exert their maximum combat power due to lack of food and fodder...
However, there are millions of stones of grain in the Changping Warehouse, which together with Xinfeng's Changping Warehouse provide livelihood for the people in Guanzhong. If they are burned down, Fang Jun's army will not be able to obtain grain supplies, but it will also cause Guanzhong to run out of food. If something unexpected happens in Xinfeng Changpingcang, Guanzhong will be completely without food.
The daily food consumption of the more than two million people in Guanzhong is simply an astronomical figure, and the civil war in Chang'an City is currently raging, and people's livelihood is almost completely destroyed. Once there is a food shortage, I am afraid that the tragedy of Yi Zi cannibalism will happen in this imperial capital. ……
With Changsun Wuji's temperament, as long as he can win this military remonstrance, he will not care whether the people in Guanzhong will be in danger of food shortage. Even if more people starve to death, he will not hesitate.
Yu Wenjie stood outside the door, looked up at the flying snow in the sky, let out a long breath, watched the scouts ride away, turned around and returned to the hall, and continued to get involved in the intense work.
……
North of the Weishui River, the sky was full of wind and snow. Countless cavalry were rushing along the official road. The roaring hoofs made the fields tremble. On the way, ordinary people and official officials occasionally passed by. Those who were far away were so frightened that they hid in the wild fields on the roadside and stared blankly. He watched blankly as the cavalry troops galloped past and headed towards Jingyang not far away.
In Jingyang City, County Magistrate Li Yifu was sitting on his knees in the government office, with several side dishes and a pot of hot wine placed on the table in front of him.
He drank a sip of hot wine, took a bite of food, looked up at the biting cold wind and falling snow outside the window, and sighed depressedly.
The county official Sitting opposite him, seeing his depressed face and sighing, while holding a pot and pouring wine, he couldn't help but ask: "Why is the Ming Dynasty so melancholy?"
Li Yifu withdrew his gaze, picked up the wine cup and took a sip, and sighed: "In troubled times, a man should stand on the tide and fight against the waves. Even if he is shattered to pieces, he should still roar like an eagle for nine days and never fall into the blue clouds!"
< br>
Dian Shi rolled his eyes and understood what Li Yifu meant...
Then he comforted and said: "Why should the Ming Dynasty be like this? I am born with talents, and they will have their own use. Just wait for the opportunity. Moreover, the Guanlong families are powerful at the moment, but the victory or defeat has not yet been determined, and the Duke of Yue has introduced troops from the Western Regions. A fierce battle is inevitable when reinforcements are returned. The Ming Dynasty lives here, so it is time to hide its strength and bide its time. As long as the opportunity comes, it will be able to stand out and rise to the top. "
This is not bad.
At present, there is a mutiny in Chang'an. Guanlong and Donggong are fighting fiercely. Half of the city of Chang'an has been destroyed, but no one can do anything about it. Although Guanlong is attacking steadily, the fighting strength of Donggong is still there. Now Fang Jun has led his troops back. It is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
Rather than being on one side at this moment and not knowing what the future holds, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. When the winner is about to be determined, then choose the winner and rely on it. Victory will be at your fingertips.
The benefits are naturally much smaller, but the risks are also smaller...
But Li Yifu said: "You don't understand the current trend at all... It seems that the East Palace still has the strength to fight, and the outcome is not yet determined. In fact, since the various families in Hedong sent troops to help Guanlong, Li Ji's command of the Eastern Expedition army has been delayed. , it can be seen that the overall situation has been decided. The situation is no longer about who can get the position of crown prince, but the strategy of the world's nobles to resist the imperial court to weaken the princes. At the end of the Eastern Palace's war, how can Fang Jun alone fight against the world's nobles? Sooner or later, the East Palace will fall. .”
His talents are outstanding, he has the ability to understand the situation clearly, and he is very sure about the current situation.
It is obvious that all the powerful people in the world are now siding with Guanlong, either openly or covertly. The East Palace is unable to support itself, but how can Fang Jun's soldiers and horses become enemies of the powerful people in the world?
This mutiny, which was related to the reserve position, has now become a counterattack for all the clans in the world. In order to maintain the interests of the clans, everyone is fighting with all their strength...
I just regret that although he joined the Jin King's sect, he did not gain the Jin King's trust. He then turned to Changsun Wuji, and was even kicked from Chang'an City to Jingyang County. From then on, he was idle and depressed.
If you fail to obey orders at such a critical moment and fight alongside Changsun Wuji and Guan Long, what reward will you get after victory?
Others might be lucky because they were outside the flames of war, but for the ambitious Li Yifu, it was bad luck and depression...
Dian Shi toasted and said: "The talents of the Ming Dynasty are rare in the world, but the descendants of Guanlong are all incompetent people. How can Duke Zhao let such talents as the Ming Dynasty be abandoned? Don't worry, when the overall situation is settled, you will be transferred back to Chang'an." , we still need to look to the Ming government to take care of it.”
Li Yifu smiled bitterly and said: "When the situation was urgent, I was unable to serve under Zhao Guogong. When the situation was settled, even if Zhao Guogong remembered that there was a person like me, how much reward could he receive?"
Just as he was talking, the door of the government office was suddenly knocked open from the outside. A county official rushed in and said anxiously: "Mingfu, Dianshi, something bad happened!"
Li Yifu was startled by the knock on the door. His expression was ugly, and his anger was looming. He scolded: "In such a panic, are there any rules?"
The official said hurriedly: "It's not that I'm humble and reckless, but I'm really in a hurry! Fang Jun has already led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack. They are already twenty miles outside the city. I'm afraid they are going to break into the city!"
"Ah?!"
"Bang!"
"What did you say?!"
Li Yifu and Dian Shi were shocked. Dian Shi accidentally knocked over the wine cup, spilling the wine and splashing his crotch...
When the official repeated it, Dian Shi turned from surprise to joy, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty, congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Yifu looked at him as if he were a fool, wondering if this man had taken the wrong medicine? We are all members of Duke Zhao. Even if he treats me harshly, the camp is clear.
Now that Fang Jun's army is coming, why the hell are you congratulating me?
Just listen to Dian Shi say: "Isn't the Ming Dynasty worried about the useless heroes? Just holding Fang Jun's army outside Jingyang City is a great achievement. Zhao Guogong will reward him based on his merits, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely be promoted to the third level! ”
Li Yifu: "..."
Are you really a fool?
You asked me to resist Fang Jun's tens of thousands of cavalry?
What kind of hatred or grudge do we have to harm me like this?
He was so angry that he kicked Dian Shi to the ground, put on a cloak and walked out. At the same time, he ordered: "Order all the soldiers in the county to put down their weapons, then summon the officials up and down, open the city gate, and welcome the Duke of Yue with me. Enter the city!"(End of this chapter)
