During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was the time of harvest. As usual, Wei Nao went out of the city to offer sacrifices. As soon as he returned to the capital, he saw Feng Shijian running up to him with a smile: "Great joy, great joy, Your Majesty is very happy!"
"What's so great about Feng Qing's family?" Wei Nao asked casually.
"Your Majesty, the battle report from the front is that in order to prevent our army from moving forward, Dai Guo built camps along the road. Our army defeated several camps. His Highness even beat the drums personally and destroyed the camp that Xiao Wuxun was guarding. It is a pity that Xiao Wuxun ran away, but also
Nearly two hundred miles of territory have been opened up." Feng Shijian smiled and gave Wei Nao the battle report he had just received.
Wei Nao looked at it and said with a smile on his lips: "The second child didn't pay much attention at first, but I didn't expect that this kid is very courageous. I only knew that he had read some military books, but I didn't expect that he was really capable."
"The Second Highness is also Your Majesty's son, so he will naturally inherit some of Your Majesty's courage." Feng Shijian said, very good at flattering.
Wei Nao was also very pleased with what he heard, and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Since the second child has performed so well, let's make him a prince during the Chinese New Year. The fourth child is also a county king, so he should also be made a prince."
"What your Majesty said is that even if the weather is cold, it will be difficult to fight once it snows. It is true that Dai Guo..."
"Okay, don't say anything anymore. Now Dai Guo is afraid of our attack and keeps building camps. I know that it is difficult to fight. The old guy in Dai Guo is a few years older than my father. He is already over seventy, right? No.
How come a congenital master is still alive and well?" Wei Nao whispered.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the time has not come yet. I feel that as soon as the time comes, a lot of anger may be solved directly." Feng Shijian said.
"You can still talk, but I don't know what will happen to the three barbarians this winter. Daxia was already on the verge of death, but now he is still alive again." Wei Nao sighed again.
Feng Shijian could only continue to deal with it, but he also knew that the Wei Dynasty did not have the same momentum as in previous years. Since swallowing the Qing Kingdom, the expansion of the Wei Dynasty has obviously slowed down. The advantage is that the swallowed place is constantly being digested, but it has stagnated.
After that, others will no longer be so afraid of you. If you had not rushed to suppress Prince Lin and waited until Dai Guo was destroyed, the situation might be very different now, but even Feng Shijian would not mention this matter.
If it were in the past, Wei Xiao would definitely feel happy if he received the reward, but now, Wei Xiao doesn't feel happy at all.
After receiving the imperial edict, he asked the father-in-law who came to deliver the edict to go down and rest. Zhou Chengzhi said bluntly: "The other princes were granted the title of duke even when they were adults. The fourth prince was granted the title of king directly. When His Highness the Second Highness arrived, he went into battle in person before being granted the title of prince."
Mr.
Ning Lin remained silent when he heard this, and the other generals seemed to have stopped talking. Unlike before when someone stopped Zhou Chengzhi from saying this, everything seemed to have begun to change subtly.
Wei Xiao also saw all this, but he couldn't speak yet.
The matter passed in silence, and except for Wei Xiao, other generals also received rewards, which made everyone feel that they were not in a bad mood.
In the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, for Ning Lin, the New Year was spent in fighting.
Ning Lin's pressing pressure made Xiao Wuxun feel the pressure, so Dai Jun made a surprise attack on the Wei army's camp through the snow, and the two sides fought fiercely.
After beating the drums in front of the battle, Wei Xiao once again personally joined Zhou Chengzhi to rush for reinforcements with troops and repelled the sneak attack of Dai Jun. This made Wei Xiao's reputation among the army suddenly rise.
The New Year has not stopped, but for Wei Xiao, it is full of hope. The whole army is more and more supportive of the second prince. Even Ning Lin seems to be wavering. As long as Ning Lin nods, Wei Xiao knows that he has peace. The brothers had a chance to compete for supremacy. If they couldn't compete, Wei Xiao also had the idea of imitating Xiong Xuzhi, the king of Chu, in his mind.
In the next two years, Wei Xiao continued to hone himself, and Wei's army once again expanded to the west for nearly 300 miles, gradually shrinking Dai's land.
Faced with such a situation, even Wei Nao no longer expected to quickly destroy Dai Guo, and it seemed that it was not bad if he could encroach on it step by step.
In the late autumn of the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty, just when Wei Nao did not expect to destroy Dai Guo soon, something happened to Dai itself. Xiao Wenchong, the king of Dai, who had been in charge of Dai Guo for nearly fifty years, suddenly fainted at the court meeting. The next day He died suddenly in the harem.
Xiao Wenchong, who was already in his seventies, had indeed reached the age of normal death, but before his sudden death, he was still in good health. Many people thought that it would not be a problem for His Majesty to live another ten or eight years, but no one expected that. How could such an accident happen?
Every change of the old and new kings in the Dai Kingdom is accompanied by bloodshed and killing, because the king represents the most capable and powerful person, so as long as he is of the Xiao family's blood, up to Xiao Wenchong's several older brothers , down to his grandsons, everyone is coming towards King Dai, and the most powerful among them is Xiao Wuxun. As the son of Xiao Wenchong, Xiao Wuxun is a famous general of Dai Kingdom, ranking high in terms of strength and status. The foremost successor.
However, Xiao Wuxun wanted to go back, but he couldn't. The news of King Dai's sudden death reached Ning Lin within a few days. Then winter will come, and a large army will be sent out to besiege Xiao Wuxun's newly built camp. Ning Lin will hold Xiao Wuxun back, or even eat him, because there is no better opportunity than now.
When Ning Lin's army desperately besieged Xiao Wuxun's camp, Xiao Wuxun immediately realized Ning Lin's thoughts, so he immediately thought of leading his troops to break out.
In the past, the Wei army only wanted to attack the camp and had no intention of annihilating the army. But today, Ning Lin gave a fatal order. The pioneer army of 150,000 was not allowed to let Xiao Wuxun go. At the same time, the follow-up troops kept coming. Xiao Wuxun must be completely surrounded.
In the past, it would be extremely unwise to do so at this time, because the Dai cavalry is powerful. If there is no heavy snow after the winter, then the Dai reinforcements only need to cooperate with Xiao Wuxun inside and outside, then the Wei army has no choice but to retreat. But if there is heavy snow after the winter, then Xiao Wuxun can continue to wear down the Wei State. When the Wei Army is exhausted and then combines the cavalry, the Wei Army will be defeated. But who will be the reinforcement now?
Ning Lin knew the tradition of Dai Guo and knew that this was the only chance to defeat Dai Guo in a short time. In the past few years, Dai Guo had consumed a lot of troops and horses. Although Dai Guo had improved somewhat in the past few years, the shortage of men and horses was still a problem. If Xiao Wuxun The 80,000-strong army was completely eaten, so the strength of the entire Dai cavalry was not enough to shake the Wei Iron Army. Under such circumstances, it was actually the winter of previous years, but the first snow came first.
