Chapter 776 Palace Discussion
A heavy rain before the wheat harvest in May made Pingyang gloomy and gloomy.
Of course, this is just an inducement. What makes these big shots even more worried is the situation in Bingzhou.
The lonely city of Jinyang is in danger.
According to the latest news, the Qingzhou soldiers in the city clamored to go home, but Liu Ling killed dozens of them and was barely suppressed.
Three thousand infantry, once they abandon Jinyang and flee eastward, their morale will be completely lost. How can they survive?
Liu Ling was able to control the situation.
He also conscripted all the men in the city and blocked the city gates.
Healthy women and children carry food, water and protective gear.
Everyone has to go into battle, and this city can be saved.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Xianbei infantry has not yet arrived. Most of the people who have come so far are cavalry and are not good at attacking cities, so that's why.
The further you delay, the worse it will be. If nothing else, do you have enough food and grass?
On the fifth day of May, just when Shao Xun left Tianchi and headed south, but before arriving at Jingle, three stagecoaches arrived in half a day, transmitting urgent military information.
Princess Yu Wenjun urgently summoned the shogunate’s right Sima Yangchen and more than a dozen of his subordinates and several Liang officials to sit down in Guangji Hall to discuss matters.
"If your Majesty had listened to my plan, why would you have done this?" Shao Shen, the governor of the shogunate and the loyal military governor who hurriedly came from Hongnong, said angrily: "Why do you need to personally pacify them? Earn those leaders. Pingyang can be killed with one sword, but they won’t dare to rebel. If they rebel, I will personally lead the army to conquer them.”
Yu Liang glanced at him.
After losing contact with her brother-in-law, her sister immediately summoned Huwei General Shao Shen to Pingyang, and planned to ask him to bring the main force of the Zhongwu Army.
Trusting the clan but not his natal family made him feel sour.
Taiwei Wang Yan automatically ignored Shao Shen's words, stood up and bowed, saying: "Don't worry, Princess, the king has been raising troops for more than ten years, with only a few small setbacks, but he has won all the big battles. Although I don't know how to fight, But we also know that the king is very sophisticated in his military use. According to the previous military report, the king defeated the enemy in Lan Valley and killed six hundred people. Maybe the morale of the army will not be seriously affected. Blocking the post road, so that the news is blocked."
At this point, he still sighed and complained in his heart.
The King of Liang was a martial artist, yes, he was too impatient.
Are those tribes in the northern part of Kelan anxious to recruit them now? In other words, why are you so anxious to take action against Dai Guo?
He was not a fool. When he saw the intention of King Liang to lead his army north to appease, he knew that he would conquer Dai within three years at the latest.
"What do you think the captain should do?" Yu Wenjun sat on Liu Cong's chariot, feeling a little confused.
Generally speaking, during the official ceremony, the husband will hold her hand, and the two of them will sit side by side on the imperial chariot to receive congratulations from the officials. But now she is the only one sitting here, feeling empty and uncomfortable.
"Back to the princess, there is no food today." Wang Yan frowned and thought for a while, then sighed: "The few grains in stock are mostly taken away by the king. If it can be delayed for half a month and the summer grain is put into the warehouse, I can "Finished."
Yu Wenjun opened his eyes wide.
She actually doesn't have a temper and has a relatively friendly personality, but she couldn't help but feel angry at this time.
"What are you talking about, Taiwei!" Yu Liang raised his voice, with the veins on his dark face exposed. He didn't want to give Wang Yan face, and said angrily: "I don't believe there is no food left at all."< br>
After that, he looked at Da Nong Yin Xian.
Yin Xian immediately replied: "There are still enough military supplies for less than ten thousand people."
Yu Wenjun's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Heijin Zuoying is stationed in the east of the river. General Hou is the king's disciple and has always been trusted. If you are serious, maybe you can let him lead the troops north?"
"There are still three thousand Yi soldiers in Hedong," Yu Liang reminded.
"Then -" Yu Wenjun was about to speak when he saw the right commander of the shogunate coughing.
Lao Yang didn’t want to speak so early. Seeing that Yu Liang and Yu Wenjun were about to give random orders, he couldn’t help coughing and reminded him - in theory, the princess can issue the final order, and the authority Taller than them all.
"Peace, please don't be impatient." Yang Chen stood up and bowed, saying: "Although I heard that the Xiongnu troops are stable and want to go north, there are especially many soldiers in the three cities of Pujin Pass, so we must be on guard. Hei Jian, Yi If the Nine Thousand Steps Cavalry is moved away, Hedong will be in danger. If Hedong is not protected, Pingyang will be in danger. "
After saying this, he paused and said: "The numbers in Pingyang City. The soldiers of the government can't move lightly, otherwise people will be distraught. Things are not serious in the north, so don't mess up your position. "
Yu Wenjun's head was buzzing, and she subconsciously looked at her brother Yu Liang.
At the same time, she felt a little annoyed. Why were everyone stopping her from saving her husband? She didn't want anything, she didn't want anything, she just wanted to quickly mobilize her troops to the north to rescue Kelan and Jinyang.
Yu Liang was a little silent at this time, because Yang Chen made sense.
"This won't work, that won't work either!" Shao Shen slapped the case and said bluntly, regardless of other people's faces: "Aunt, this is a family matter. My nephew will lead the Zhongwu Army northward. Pingyang will prepare the food and military supplies. "
"General Huwei, don't raise troops out of anger." Wang Yan glanced at him and said: "There are still many traitors in Tongguan. Who will guard Hongnong once the Zhongwu Army leaves?"
"Wang Yifu, what the hell are you worried about?" Shao Shen got angry and said, "Just let Pei Kuo come to Hongnong."
Wang Yan couldn't hold back his face after being scolded by him.
God is pitiful, among so many people, if there is anyone who least wants to see something happen to King Liang, it must be him.
The Yang family soldiers are well-prepared and have long commanded the troops in Yandong, Henan and even some counties in Qingxu. They have great appeal and there are many generals in the army.
The Pei family has a forbidden army of 20,000 people.
There are also many Yingchuan nobles serving in the army. As for Langya Wang, he was lame and his influence in the army was very limited. If something happens to King Liang, the Wang family may be the first to be eliminated. What reason does he have for not saving King Liang?
It’s really annoying.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not harmonious, Zuo Chang Shi Pei Shao immediately stood up and said: "Princess, the Heijin, Yicong, and Zhongwu armies cannot be moved lightly, but some battalions can be deployed, supplemented by the Wubao tribe and the strong tribes." , choose a good general to lead, and go northward in Keqi. "
This is a compromise plan, and it is actually very feasible.
Seeing that the others did not object, Pei Shao said again: "Dong Wu from Hedong heard that the war situation in the north was anxious, and asked himself to lead three thousand 'blind soldiers' to the north to kill the enemy for King Liang."
" Is this really blind?" Yu Liang was stunned.
Pei Shao stroked his beard and smiled and said: "General Caiguan has been in Bianliang for a long time and does not know what is going on in the east of the river. The people in the county called Ba Ren 'blind Ba', praising him for his bravery and fearlessness in the face of the enemy. He is not blind. "
In fact, he is stunned. When he sees the enemy's blades and arrows, he doesn't know how to hide and rushes upward, just like a blind man.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Ba people were even proud of this. Dong Shao wrote a letter: "I will give birth to three thousand blind Ba people who will give birth to Shuzi."
Yu Liang heard about the Ba people. He was so brave and overjoyed that he kept saying: "Then let Dong Wu go quickly."
Pei Shao nodded with a smile and said: "The Fenyin Xue family has always been known as Zhongyong. There are more than a thousand members in his tribe. With more than 10,000 elite soldiers trained, we can also recruit 3,000 elite soldiers to march north together."
The two old men, Wang Yan and Yang Chen, looked at each other and nodded slightly, knowing that this was a reliable thing.
However, after all, in the Pei family's territory, the situation was controlled by the Pei family, and I felt a little unhappy.
When Yu Wenjun heard what Pei Shao said, her heart dropped again. She looked at Pei Shao, then at Yu Liang and Shao Shen, but stopped talking.
"Princess." Yang Chen thought for a while and said: "Maybe one thousand Yicon cavalry, 2,400 Heijin Zuoying infantry, three thousand Ba people, and Xue's tribe can be arranged Three thousand, a total of 9,400 people will go north from Lishi to reinforce the front line of Xiurong and Loufan. The Liu family of Shangdang is not far from Jinyang. They should ask him to recruit thousands of strong horsemen from the tribe and the Luoyan Army cavalry going north from Bianliang. Two thousand soldiers were killed, heading straight to Jinyang to stabilize the overall situation. If there is insufficient food and grass, the princess can order Liu Runzhong to kill sheep for military needs. If the imperial court does not want gold and silk, it will be replaced with some summer wheat. "< br>
Shao Shen rarely objected.
Yu Liang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"On the way to Shangdang, Liu Runzhong can be the commander-in-chief. Along the way from Lishi-" Yang Chen said again: "The former army-"
"Let General Huwei be the commander-in-chief." Yu Wenjun encouraged. With enough courage, I suppressed the cowardice in my heart and blurted out.
After saying that, my heart was beating fast, as if I had done something extraordinary, and I didn't dare to touch anyone else's eyes.
Yu Liang glanced at his sister in surprise. This was not her temperament.
Yang Chen bowed, did not object, and sat back.
No one else objected.
This matter is quite sensitive, and there will be endless consequences if you oppose it indiscriminately.
"Yes." Shao Shen responded, and then looked at Zheng Long, the chief secretary, and Liu Anzhi, Cao Shangshu of the Fifth Army.
The two stood up together and said: "Since it is the princess's order, I will prepare a troop deployment document."
After the general decision was made, everyone began to discuss the details. With just one word, the discussion was almost over in no time.
Zheng Long and Liu Anzhi drafted troop dispatch documents on the spot;
Da Nong and Du Zhi Shangshu dispatched grain and grass;
Army Secretary Wang Yan and You Sima Yangchen appointed The generals who commanded the troops...
After writing the documents one by one, Yu Wenjun first printed them out and then took out the seals of King Liang and the general and stamped them with force.
That’s it for sending troops.
A few days later, soldiers and horses from all over the country rushed to Pingyang. Shao Shen swore an oath in the north of the city, received some military supplies, and marched northward.
At this time, Shao Xun had just arrived at Loufan, repelled Tuoba Huna and forced him to the west.
After leaving 5,000 Huangtou troops to defend the old city of Loufan, on the 12th, they led their own army, Silver Spear Army and 5,000 Huangtou troops, totaling more than 12,000 people, to go eastward.
Along the way, they met some Xianbei cavalry.
The army slowed down, but still moved firmly toward the east.
Three days later, Yi Congjun returned to Jian, bringing with him more than 2,000 miscellaneous Hu Qingqi from various tribes, and the total force increased to 16,000.
On May 18th, flames shot into the sky outside the sheep intestine warehouse. The Xianbei people burned down the mansion, which had long been empty of food, and retreated towards Jinyang.
On the 21st, the main army arrived in the west of Jinyang City and camped along the Fen River.
Looking at the general flag with the word "Liu" still flying high at the top of the city, Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
He was really worried that the Qingzhou people would continue to flee. Whether Jinyang was lost or not would not affect the overall situation, because he did not believe that the Xianbei people would stay and defend the city.
At this time, there was a loud thunder in Bingzhou, and the rain gradually increased, lasting for several days.
Lei Gong help me!
