Chapter 251 The main force of the siege
The attack on Xiliang City now has little to do with Gao Chengyi, Gu He and Zhang Qing, because they are no longer the main force...
During the siege, the cavalry could not exert their due combat power at all, so the three of them could ignore the attack on Xiliang City and concentrate on their affairs.
As for Lin Ang, the rear army was prepared with sufficient siege weapons, and Lin Ang was much busier than the other three, but the most idle person should be Guan Shanyue.
The commander of the army is the most leisurely one.
Guan Shanyue's leisure is the leisure time she has come out, and he is waiting for his siege troops.
The original plan was that with the assistance of millions of cavalry, Guan Shanyue had already approached Xiliang City and surrounded Xiliang City, adding pressure to the Xiliang army, and then waited for the large troops behind to arrive.
However, the plan now has to change. Millions of cavalry are in a strange mind, among which there is another famous general Li Meng, which makes Guan Shanyue be cautious in every step. Originally, Guan Shanyue could enter Xiliang even before the siege troops arrived. With the nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, Guan Shanyue was confident that no one could defeat him easily, but now he has to worry about Li Meng. Faced with this veteran who was hired on the battlefield, Guan Shanyue had to deal with it carefully.
"Fan Qianhu, isn't there any movement on the millions of cavalry?" Guan Shanyue asked Fan Yuan. Although there were spies in his army, they were not as deep as the Jinyiwei's penetration.
Fan Yuan smiled, but hesitated for a while before slowly saying: "I'm afraid it's not good news. Will General Guan still listen?"
Seeing Fan Yuan's gentle smile on his face, those who didn't know thought how deep he had with the people present.
However, this news, which is not good news, makes people care a lot.
"The 300,000 army led by General Guan Shanhe is only about three or four days away from here at most..."
"What bad news is this?" Zhang Qing interrupted Fan Yuan's words.
Fan Yuan smiled happily and said, "Of course this is not bad news. What I really want to say is still behind. General Guan Shanhe can meet with the general in less than a few days and attack Xiliang City. However, Mr. Li's millions of cavalry have already met, with a total of up to one million cavalry. I believe this should not be good news for you."
"How is it possible? There are only 500,000 cavalry in Xiliang. When will it become one million? Fan Yuan, do you want to scare us?" Zhang Qing suddenly stood up and shouted at Fan Yuan.
Guan Shanyue was speechless, looking at Fan Yuan without saying a word, and ignored Zhang Qing's unreasonableness...
Just as Zhang Qing scolded Fan Yuan, he was pulled by Gao Chengyi on the side and sat down to his seat. Gao Chengyi looked indifferent and said without even looking at Zhang Qing: "Say less, no one will think you are mute."
"The Grand Marshal didn't even speak, why are you anxious?" Lin Ang shook his head lightly.
Guan Shanyue stared at Fan Yuan without even blinking her eyes. After a long time, she asked slowly: "Her senior general Li actually brought so many cavalry?" For anyone, this may not be good news, but for Guan Shanyue, this is actually great news.
Without the will of the court, he privately mobilized more than one million troops, and they were all cavalry. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, as long as he grasped this point, no matter who he was, he would be convicted. Of course, he would also find out who the other party was to convict. At worst, he would be convicted of the whole family. At least, he would be punished for his salary, so that he would be kept thinking about his mistakes.
Another point is that since Li Meng mobilized so many troops, it means he is old.
Fan Yuan is also an experienced guy. Facing Guan Shanyue's direct gaze, he did not avoid it. Instead, he smiled and said calmly, without fear of Guan Shanyue at all. Of course, he also guessed Guan Shanyue's thoughts, and not only was he funny in his heart: I said it was not good news, but it was not good news, you insist on treating it as good news.
"General Guan, don't be too happy too early."
Facing this, Fan Yuan suddenly said this, Guan Shanyue was shocked and realized that when he was tentatively guessing others, others also peeked at his own ideas. Being able to get a position in Qianhu is probably not just flattering, but he really has some ability.
Fan Yuan continued: "The 600,000 cavalry that came later meant Sima Jing, in order to protect Marquis Li, but Marquis Li did not need so many soldiers to protect him... You should know what kind of person Sima Jing is, and he was absolutely cautious in doing things, so these 600,000 cavalry were dispatched in a legitimate manner. Sima Jing had already reported to the court, and the Ministry of War had also issued an order to agree to Sima Jing's millions of cavalry."
As he said that, Fan Yuan paused and saw the sudden smile on Guan Shanyue's face. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It seems that I made a mistake myself. This news is indeed good news for General Guan." He actually neglected a military supervisor. Alas, he was really picked up by Guan Shanyue. Generally, military supervisors are eunuchs or something, but this military supervisor is not only not a eunuch, but also the commander of the imperial guards, and the great celebrity around the empress dowager. He was a mistake...
The military supervisor is only responsible for supervising all the behaviors and styles of the leading generals, and has temporary power to take over combat commands. However, in general, he is a spectator on the side. If he wins, he will benefit from it, take credit, and lose. What's the matter with me? Isn't the commander?
However, Li Meng really wants to do something out of the ordinary. If he doesn't bribe the military supervisor, he will kill him together.
However, after all, Guan Shanyue is lucky.
The main reason why Wang Chuyi insisted that the new army attacked Xiliang City was because of the heroes and veterans in the court. These heroes and veterans had nothing, but their descendants relied on their family's merits and acted in a mess. Once they were about to move them, these veterans would unite and say that they would make great contributions. Such boasting words made Wang Chuyi quite worried. Therefore, if the court wants to reform, they cannot continue to use these veterans, and they cannot use their disciples. Therefore, Guan Shanyue, who had no background, became the best candidate. Guan Shanyue even promoted many young generals in the new army, making Wang Chuyi more satisfied.
Guan Shanyue and his generals visited Li Tianshan and told Li Tianshan everything about Li Meng, but Li Tianshan only said one sentence: "What do you do with your own things, don't worry about other things."
Although this sentence did not mean anything, Guan Shanyue was really relieved. If Li Meng had any actions, I guess the Supervisor would block him.
Not long after Guan Shanyue and others left, an old eunuch whispered in Li Tianshan's ear: "Sir, that man just left after listening to your conversation with Guan Shanyue."
The old eunuch went to Li Meng to deliver the message that night, the old eunuch, and the person he mentioned was Li Meng's personal bodyguard Chen Hai.
Chen Hai was disguised as a member of the new army for more than half a month, but no one could notice it. In the end, Li Tianshan accidentally discovered that there was a top master hidden among the soldiers, so he asked his eunuchs to pay attention to him, but soon he did not find out that it was Chen Hai.
"It's good if you leave, otherwise you have to see him away in person." Li Tianshan shook his head.
From the eunuchs under his command, Chen Hai's martial arts skills are not lower than theirs. I'm afraid that several people will join forces to subdue Chen Hai. However, Li Tianshan observed Chen Hai for a while and found that Chen Hai not only has powerful martial arts skills, but also seems to have something more powerful hidden in internal strength.
This is training Qi, but Li Tianshan couldn't see it.
After walking a few steps, Li Tianshan suddenly turned around and looked at the people and said, "You go back to Beijing and tell the Empress Dowager about the news here, and tell Xu Wu that you will get the person he wants to meet."
"I understand." Several old eunuchs knew Li Tianshan's martial arts. If even Li Tianshan could not beat him, they would just leave a few more corpses here, but they did not think that anyone could beat Li Tianshan here, so they were relieved to rush back to the capital immediately.
To be honest, all Li Tianshan could do was to stop Li Meng from assassinating the new generals. As for Li Meng's one million cavalry, Li Tianshan was really powerless. You should know that the millions of cavalry were passed down from the Li family. If you listen to the Li family more than the imperial court, let Wang Chuyi deal with Li Meng's one million cavalry.
A large camp of millions of cavalry.
"Master, Guan Shanyue's main force will meet with him in the next few days. After the rendezvous, he will officially send troops to Xiliang City. In addition, Guan Shanyue wants to use the military supervisor Li Tianshan to restrain us." Chen Hai told Li Meng without missing a word of what he had found.
Li Meng stroked his white beard and smiled, "Old brother, thank you so much for your hard work."
"It should be, but I disappointed the master. My whereabouts were discovered by those old eunuchs." Chen Hai said apologetically.
"Oh? Did they attack you after they found you?"
Chen Hai shook his head: "They just kept monitoring me and did nothing else. If they really did, I would have been exposed."
Li Meng nodded.
Chen Hai continued: "In the end, Li Tianshan called him what he should do, and there was no need to worry about anything else."
"It seems like a troublesome guy." Li Meng's expression closed, and a trace of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
"Master, this person is not easy to deal with. His martial arts are only stronger than mine." Chen Hai said this, mainly to tell Li Meng not to touch the stones. When Guan Shanyue attacked Xiliang Camp, Chen Hai was among them. He saw Li Tianshan's actions, as fast as a ghost, and it was hard to see them clearly. He appeared on the battlefield all at once, stopping the duel between He Xiangning and a master of the Xiliang Army. Chen Hai dared not underestimate this strength.
Li Meng was stunned and then smiled, "Hahaha, it seems that he hasn't been in vain. Since a military supervisor has a higher martial arts skills than you, I have become a frog in the well over the years."
"Master, there are more than these interesting things. The people who fought against He Xiangning in the Xiliang Army were originally the commander of the Jinyiwei..."
"Oh? The commander of the Jinyiwei? The emperor's personal guard? Since he is a rebel? Haha."
Next, Chen Hai told Li Meng about all the news he found about Tian Yinke.
"There are talents in the country. A commander of the Jinyiwei has turned the capital upside down and let Emperor Xiaozong Long Yu return to heaven. Hey, it seems that I am really old. In the next step, Li Tianshan will definitely use the court to restrain us and make me retreat. Since that's the case, I will send orders to let the 600,000 young men go back." Li Meng dispelled at this moment, and wanted to seize the credit for capturing Xiliang City. Instead, he wanted to see the young people at present and the best in the future...
