Chapter 354 The imperial decree is not as good as his words
Yunzhou City in Northern Xinjiang.
At the Yunzhou General Mansion at this moment, General Yunchong of the Huben Army, General Lu Chengjie of the Huxiang Guard, General Dongfang Ming of the Xiaoguo Guard, and Marshals Yunyang, Nangong Ye and others gathered on the left and right.
When everyone met, no one spoke. They took out a piece of paper from their arms and slapped it on the table.
Several people looked at each other in surprise: "Have you also received the letter from King Bingjian?"
Several people asked this question in unison, and the result was of course self-evident. Naturally, each person received a letter.
Yunyang and others gathered together and subconsciously looked at the notes. The contents on the notes were slightly different, but the general meaning was the same.
Let the generals in the Western Third City of Northern Xinjiang watch the opportunity and take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Reinforcements will arrive immediately to help.
The three generals Yun Chong were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the two military marshals Yunyang and Nangong Ye.
"Commander Yun, Commander Nangong, do we still have reinforcements?"
"Yes, why don't we get any news at all? Could it be that the new recruits from the Ministry of War can go to the north to garrison in advance?"
"How many soldiers and horses can be assigned to each city? Now Ganzhou's soldiers and horses have already attacked Yunzhou in a roundabout way. If the troops in Ganzhou city cannot be replenished in time, and if Xiaoguo Weierlang is all killed in the battle, Ganzhou will only rely on
The remaining soldiers cannot withstand the Turks' cavalry!"
Yunyang and Nangong Ye looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Reinforcements? What reinforcements? We don't know where there are reinforcements.
The reactions of Yunyang and the others were noticed by Yun Chong and the others, and they were immediately confused when they realized that they did not know about the reinforcements.
"What on earth is going on? They only talked about the reinforcements, but did not say where they would come from, when they would come, or how many they would come. I had no idea at all. This made it difficult for us to start a confrontation with the Turks in a practical way.
"
Yunyang, whose wound had healed, stroked his beard and thought for a moment.
"Do not rule out the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Husbandry is worried about the war situation in Northern Xinjiang and has taken the first step to let the trained recruits go north. Even so, it takes less than ten days and a half to reach our six cities in Northern Xinjiang. It is the rainy season now. If it rains again,
A few rains will take at least twenty or thirty days to arrive."
"The Turks suddenly increased their strength by 200,000. If reinforcements cannot arrive in time, we will definitely be defeated."
Yun Chong rubbed his forehead and thought for a while: "I know Zhi'er... King Bingjian. He is not the kind of person who shoots without aim. If he says there are reinforcements, there will be reinforcements."
"We are all old, and the older we get, the more afraid we are of trouble. We have long since lost the courage to fight and kill as we did when we were young. Now we always look forward and backward, thinking about both guarding the country and saving the lives of our brothers. But national war is a must.
War is inevitable, and nothing is perfect."
"King Bingjian is right. Passive defense means death in battle, and taking the initiative means death in battle. Blindly defending positions increases the arrogance of the Turks and lowers our morale."
"In this case, it is better to take the initiative. Maybe there is still a chance to fight back."
Yun Chong glanced at the people with complicated expressions and hugged Dongfang.
"General Yun Chong of the Huben Guards is willing to obey King Bingjian's order and take the initiative to go out of the city and engage in a head-on confrontation with the Turks."
Dongfang Ming and Lu Chengjie gritted their teeth and waved their arms fiercely.
"Then what the hell are you talking about? We brothers Liu Wei and Liu have always advanced and retreated together. If you Yunchong is not afraid of things, we are not afraid either!"
"That's right, go out of town and fuck that son of a bitch."
Yunyang, who had been silent all this time, narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at a corner of the map.
"Zhang Mo!"
The few people who were making oaths to each other were startled and looked at Yunyang with confused eyes.
"Shuai Zuo, what did you say?"
Yunyang retracted his gaze and looked at Nangong Ye: "As expected, the reinforcement should be Zhang Mo!"
Nangong Ye came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Anxi Protectorate's 200,000 soldiers?"
Yun Chong and the other three also looked at Yunyang with shocked expressions: "Are the reinforcements soldiers from the Anxi Duhua Mansion?"
Yunyang nodded slightly: "It should be no accident!"
"But I haven't heard any news that His Majesty ordered to mobilize the troops guarding the thirty-eight countries in the Western Region... Could it be that King Bingjian mobilized the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate without authorization? Although he is in charge of one hundred people in the northern Xinjiang
Fifty-two states, but the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate are not within his authority!"
"Without His Majesty's order, Zhang Mo would not have the courage to lead his troops out of the base without authorization and go to Northern Xinjiang to support us!"
Yunyang's eyes lingered on Nangong Ye for a moment, and he sighed when he looked at Nangong Ye's complicated eyes.
"Have you all forgotten the Golden Dragon Emperor's Order that Ruizhong personally awarded to King Bingjian?"
"Seeing the order is like seeing the king. It is not impossible to mobilize Zhang Mo with the Golden Dragon Emperor's order!"
"But arbitrarily mobilizing soldiers and horses outside of authority is a capital offense. It's okay for a prince to easily mobilize 200,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Regions. The most important thing is, does your Majesty know about this?"
Yunyang shook his head with a complex expression: "In order to avoid leaking the news, King 100% did not tell anyone, but Zhang Kuang should already know about it by now."
"According to my speculation, the soldiers and horses coming are not only the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate, but also the soldiers and horses of the thirty-eight countries in the Western Regions! If this is the case, there will be at least 300,000 soldiers and horses, let alone a head-on confrontation.
Now, it will be easy to counterattack both countries!"
The eyes of several people became wild, recalling the past when they followed the general to fight out of the border and were invincible in the hinterlands of the two countries.
However, with Yunyang's slight cough, several people came back to their senses, and their eyes became worried again.
If it is true as Yunyang speculated, the reinforcements are really the 200,000 troops from the Anxi Protectorate, plus the coalition forces of the thirty-eight countries in the Western Regions. Although Liu Mingzhi wanted to solve the national crisis, he mobilized troops that did not belong to him without authorization.
The horse has already made a big mistake.
Nangong Ye looked at Yunyang with a complex look at the old man who was as famous as his father: "Marshal, I understand that the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate are mobilized by the order of the Golden Dragon Emperor!"
"But Zhang Mo only has the right to control the thirty-eight countries in the Western Region. If I ask them to send troops to help me, Dalong, I'm afraid Zhang Mo won't have that much face."
"In other words, given the critical situation we are facing now, His Majesty's imperial edict may not be able to mobilize the troops of the thirty-eight countries in the Western Regions."
Yunyang sighed a few times: "Zhang Mo can't be moved, and His Majesty's imperial edict can't be moved, but there is one person who can definitely move him."
"Because he left endless panic to the Thirty-eight Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and the Thirty-Eight Kingdoms were invincible on horseback. His power back then was only a few years old, and now the Thirty-eight Kingdoms of the Western Regions should still be afraid in their bones."
"Those who don't follow will destroy the city and destroy the country!"
"Such a profound lesson should be remembered for a lifetime. I think people in the Western Regions still dare not face up to the immortal monument that stands on the Silk Road."
"In front of your brother, the Queen Mother, I would say something very disrespectful!"
"In the Western Regions, perhaps one sentence from the King of Side by Side is more effective than ten imperial edicts."
"The majesty created by the mountains of corpses and seas of blood is destined to be indelible."
Nangong Ye's eyes narrowed deeply, and Yunyang on the side saw them clearly.
Yunyang looked at the worried expressions of his son Yun Chong and Dongfang Ming, and gently patted Yun Chong on the shoulder.
"Nangong Shuai, King Bingjian has assisted three generations of emperors, and his loyalty to the court can be seen day by day."
"Although he may have overstepped his authority and mobilized troops this time, he did so out of good intentions, out of loyalty to the court, and for the sake of Dalong's future. With the national crisis at hand, he guarded the 27th Prefecture in Northern Xinjiang. He had no other choice but to do this."
"After the war is over, I hope you can say a few kind words for the prince in front of His Majesty."
Nangong Ye was startled, sighed and nodded.
"Junior knows, I hope those rotten scholars in the court won't hold on to it so tightly!"
