Chapter 182 His Scheme
The battle on the frontline started. The Zhenbei Army set fire to the Beijin camp on the night they came out of the customs. All three thousand soldiers were killed and the third prince was captured. Yan Mu cut off his head with a knife and hung it in front of the Beijin camp.
This battle caught Beijin off guard. Immediately, troops and horses were mobilized from the western front. Reinforcements from all directions also gathered here, and 30,000 troops were quickly assembled.
Before the Daei imperial court could even react, the war had already entered a fever pitch.
After a month of this battle, the Zhenbei army's food and salary began to be tight.
Inside the main tent, Wei Tian was running around in circles anxiously.
"The food and salary from the imperial court should have arrived a few days ago, but until now, there is still no news at all. What is their plan? Could it be that they don't care whether we live or die?"
Several generals in the tent were very angry. They fought for the imperial court and shed their lives and blood, but they couldn't even eat.
"The imperial court does not want to fight this war, but we are forced to have no choice. I am afraid that no matter we win or lose in the end, the imperial court will punish us." Another general said solemnly.
Yan Mu's eyes were solemn, "The imperial court wants to punish the people, and I will support it with all my strength. As for food and salary, I will also think of a way, so you don't have to worry. In this battle, we will definitely defeat Beijin."
, so that they will not dare to attack my great glory easily from now on."
Several other generals nodded. They still believed what Yan Mu said.
Five days later, there was no food left in the military camp. Since last night, the soldiers had not eaten anything.
The people in the military camp were already panicking, and the soldiers were furious and cursed the imperial court for being cold-blooded and ruthless.
After two more days, the soldiers stopped scolding because they had no strength to scold anymore.
If Beijin were to attack at this time and keep every knife in his custody, there would be no one struggling, and the entire army would be wiped out in an instant.
When all the soldiers were in despair, a truckload of food arrived at sunset, and Liu Yunxiang was walking in front.
That night, the soldiers finally had a full meal, and there was also meat.
The news that Liu Yunxiang sent them food spread throughout the military camp, and the soldiers were grateful to Liu Yunxiang. What everyone knew tacitly was that Liu Yunxiang was Yan Mu's wife, and this kindness should be remembered on Yan Mu's head.
There is also a saying that Yan Mu went bankrupt in order to raise food for them.
From then on, the whole army was loyal, but they were loyal to the court before, and now they are loyal to their commander!
After the battle the day before yesterday, Beijin's vitality was severely injured, but he had been able to survive the past two days. Taking advantage of this time, Yan Mu went back to Yangui City to visit Liu Yunxiang and his daughter.
He held his daughter in his arms and raised her up high. He caught ants in the yard and rolled in the mud. The two of them went crazy.
At night, Yan Mu coaxed Xingyi to fall asleep, and Yan Mu drank with the beggar in the yard.
The beggar was so drunk that he kept his mouth shut and sighed: "This move of yours is really good."
Yan Mu glanced at him, "Drink your wine and stop talking nonsense!"
The beggar clicked his tongue and shook his head, "You asked the Liu family to use the banner of Lingyun Grain Store to store a large amount of grain without anyone noticing. You have been waiting for today, use this grain to buy off the morale of the army, and make the entire Zhenbei Camp
You Yan Mu used it."
Yan Mu took a sip of wine and said, "I didn't expect to fight this battle. I didn't expect that the imperial court would not allocate food and salary."
"No, you expected it!" The beggar burped, "My adoptive father praised you for your ability to predict things. Although you didn't know that these things would happen, you knew that Beijin and Dayong were not sincere in their friendship.
Sooner or later, there will be a fight if you throw it."
"It would be great if I could really predict things like a god."
"You just didn't expect something would happen to the Ninth Princess."
Yan Mu held up the jug and drank the wine in one breath.
"Boss, do you trust your adoptive father?"
The beggar suddenly trembled and raised his head to look at Yan Mu in surprise, "What are you talking about? Don't forget that your life was saved by your adoptive father, otherwise you would have been beheaded along with the Yan family back then!"
"I'm asking you."
"Of course I am..."
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. You followed your adoptive father to avenge your family. But after so many years, your enemies have become your adoptive father's allies. Do you still believe so strongly?"
The beggar narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Mu quietly for a while, then smiled and said: "Lao Qi, we are all sons. We must never do anything treasonous and unethical. Brother is kind enough to remind you."
After saying that, the beggar wandered away.
Liu Yunxiang came out of the room and sat down next to Yan Mu.
"Did you hear what the beggar said just now?" Yan Mu asked.
Liu Yunxiang rested his chin on his knees and responded with a muffled sound.
"When I asked you to stock up on food, you didn't ask me why. Now that you know the answer, do you think I'm quite sinister?"
"It's really insidious."
Yan Mu smiled, "Be careful, I might even sell you at some point."
"Hey, I'm not stupid, how do you know I'm not playing tricks on you?"
"Is there any?"
"have."
Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang and put his forehead against hers, "If you lied to me, then keep lying and don't let me know the truth. I am cruel and I might really kill you."
"Yan Mu, I told you that I have the ability to predict the future, and I've told you that you are not lucky enough to die before me."
"Curse me?'
"real."
Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Then I want to ask, is there any way to change this fate?"
"It really does."
"oh?"
Liu Yunxiang stretched out his fingers and put them on Yan Mu's chest, "Drive Jin You out of here."
Yan Mu grabbed Liu Yunxiang's hand, his eyes became sharp and cold.
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "But you can't do it."
She stepped back, withdrew her hand, and sighed, "I can't save you either."
After several consecutive defeats, the Northern Jin court was furious and scaled back the war against West Vietnam, shifting its focus to Da Rong. At the same time, it continued to send more troops, with a force of 100,000 to suppress the 30,000 troops in Beiguan.
In the next month, Beijin attacked the Zhenbeiguan gate several times, and the Zhenbei army began to struggle.
At this time, food and wages began to be in short supply again. Liu Yunxiang raised food from various places and mobilized the people of Yangui City to donate food. The army and the people were united.
At the most difficult time, the West Vietnam broke through the defense line and directly destroyed the Beijin army camp, causing Beijin to suffer heavy casualties. Beijin had to increase its troops to the west, and taking advantage of this moment, the Zhenbei army quickly counterattacked, taking advantage of the terrain to force
The army of Beijin retreated for hundreds of miles and returned to their own border town, forming a reversal of the situation as Da Rong's troops approached the city.
These frontline battle situations were all told to Liu Yunxiang by the beggar, and he finally said: "Lao Qi is really powerful. When he was guarding the Shuoxi front line, he cooperated well with Xiyue. The two sides relaxed and attacked, and the other defended.
The fight left Beijin in a hurry. Beijin really suffered a big loss this time. I think this battle should be over soon."
As the beggar expected, half a month later, the troops from both sides of the North and Jin Dynasties withdrew and retreated to their passes, cowering away and not daring to come out to show off their power.
This battle was fought beautifully and inspired people.
Soon the decree from the court came, but it was not to commend the Zhenbei Army, but to order Yan Mu to quickly return to the court.
Shen Yunzhou took a deep breath, "As soon as Commander Yan returns to Beijing, it will be a small matter to deprive him of military power. I'm afraid he will still be held responsible for the war, which may be more harmful than good."
"Then I won't come back." Wei Tiandao.
Shen Yunzhou looked at Yan Mu and his pupils shrank, "Unless..."
Yan Mu looked at Shen Yunzhou with sharp eyes.
Shen Yunzhou smiled, "Isn't there another sentence in this imperial edict that Yan Shuai is returning to Beijing for his wedding. This is a happy event. We have to congratulate Yan Shuai, right?"
Yeah?
Wei Tian raised his head and saw Liu Yunxiang standing at the door with a gloomy face. He suddenly felt that punishing the court was a small matter, but offending his wife was a big deal.
