Governor Geng is the son of Changxing Marquis Geng Bing. Geng Bing has three sons. The eldest son, Geng Xuan, married Zhu Biao's daughter and is Zhu Yun's brother-in-law. He is now working as a consort in Beijing. The third son, Geng, is a fifth-rank Beijing official, and his official position does not count.
Too tall, but also a good position; Geng is his second son, and the only one who has inherited his father's business and is in the military.【】
Geng was one step ahead of Geng Bing. As early as the beginning of the year, when Zhu Yun wanted to attack King Yan, he was sent to Shanhaiguan with 30,000 troops to restrain the king of Yan. However, this time Li Jinglong replaced his father as the general to rebel.
, another superior was parachuted to him: Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin. Wu Gao was the Marquis, and he was far superior to him in terms of military position and title, so Geng had to give up his position as commander and became deputy commander-in-chief.
After Li Jinglong's general order arrived, Geng geared up, and among the three generals, the fighting spirit was the highest. His father was defeated by Zhu Di and was removed from the post of rebel general. Geng wanted to avenge his father's death.
As soon as he received the general's order, he immediately ordered his men and horses, and together with Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, and Yang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, traveled through the stars and nights to attack Yongping City.
After the three generals joined forces, the total strength was more than 60,000. The Yan army stationed in the small Yongping City was only a few thousand people. Naturally, it was no problem. The three generals mobilized their armies to attack the city day and night. Yongping was captured at dawn the next day.
After Pingcheng was captured, King Yan's defeated troops fled to Beiping, while the three generals stationed in Yongping. While arranging defenses, they reported the victory to Li Jinglong's camp in Texas.
Unexpectedly, just after the battle report was sent out, Tan Ma, who was chasing King Yan's defeated troops to Peiping, came flying to report that King Yan's army was galloping towards Yongping. Wu Gao was shocked and said to Geng and Yang: "Yan Ni's reaction is so strange
So fast, as soon as the defeated soldiers fled back, his reinforcements set off!"
Before he finished speaking, the second detective came to report: "Report, General, King Yan's reinforcements are coming to Yongping on a starry night journey. It is estimated that his troops are about 50,000."
Geng was surprised and said: "How is it possible? How could Yan Ni send an army of fifty thousand? Cao Guozheng is ready to attack Beiping City. With so many troops, does the King of Yan not intend to hold on to Beiping?"
Yang Qidao: "How could this be so? If the King of Yan abandoned the city and went to war, that would be great. He has lost his foundation. How can he still be the King of Yan? The morale of the army must be weakened. An army of 50,000 people? This is almost what the King of Yan can mobilize to fight at the moment.
It’s the limit, it’s impossible! He must be deceitful, maybe it’s King Yan’s bluff, so he spreads doubts, sets up too many flags and drums, sets up too many cooking stoves, and deliberately confuses my ears and eyes, let’s explore again!”
Just as the detective horses left, the third detective horse arrived again. This time they not only still insisted that the Yan army had at least 50,000 troops, but also brought an even more shocking news: the general commanding the army was the King of Yan himself, Zhu Di.
Wu Gao, Geng and Yang looked at each other. After a long while, Yang Cai said inexplicably: "How can it be unreasonable? Cao Guogong's hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing down on the border. Peiping is in danger. King Yan ignores it and goes out to seize Yongping. Why? Is this Yongping worse than Peiping?
Is it important? King Yan’s use of troops is really unpredictable and completely unreasonable!"
Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, said with a solemn expression: "In any case, I'm afraid the news is not false. Yongping City is low and shallow, so it is not suitable to hold on. Tens of thousands of troops are holding on to the city, but they can't maneuver around it. If they go out to fight in the city, the King of Yan will personally lead his army.
Come on, the morale is high and the military strength is not inferior to ours, so the two generals should be cautious."
Geng sneered and said: "Master Hou, Mr. Yang Zongbing, haven't you understood yet? King Yan is bullying the weak with the strong and trying to defeat each other. His method is exactly the same as what he used to deal with my father. He wants to solve our problem."
All the troops and horses are relieved, and then we can deal with Cao Guogong with all our strength. At the same time, our defeat will damage Cao Guogong's military morale. In my opinion, if we can successfully dampen his spirit, it will be a great victory. Our 60,000-strong army is crowded in
The small Yongping City cannot be manipulated at all. Since King Yan's military strength is still slightly inferior to mine, why don't we form an array outside the city and fight behind the city."
Wu Gao disagreed: "The walls of Yongping City are short and the 60,000-strong army cannot be manipulated. However, it would be too reckless to fight behind the city and gain the upper hand. General Yang, you immediately lead your troops to camp outside the north city and dig more trenches."
, Duobu Jingji, your troops are from Liaodong, and they are all cavalry. The King of Yan has come with bad intentions. Once we cannot hold it, we will have to rely on your troops to be the vanguard and return to Shanhaiguan."
Geng was unconvinced and said: "Master Marquis, our men and horses are at least more than those of King Yan. What's more, if we wait for work at leisure and worry about defeat before fighting, wouldn't we only enhance others' ambition and destroy our own prestige?"
Wu Gao was old and mature, and his magnanimity was not comparable to that of young people. Hearing this, he just smiled slightly, not angry, and said: "Before worrying about victory, consider defeat first, this is the way to be a general. What's more, King Yan is here, it is clear that he is
I want to catch the turtle in a trap and annihilate our Yongping garrison in order to achieve the effect of taking the lead. In the previous episode, the King of Yan used 30,000 soldiers to defeat the 130,000-strong army of your Majesty. It can be seen that the combat power of the Yan army should not be underestimated. This Marquis is like this
Being careful is also a helpless move.
It should be noted that King Yan is anxious to jump over the wall, but we do not need to fight stubbornly. If we are really unable to resist the enemy, as long as we successfully break through the encirclement and retreat to Shanhaiguan, it will be a thorn in King Yan's belly and back, and we will always tell him to sit down.
We are restless, this has achieved our goal. Governor Geng, your soldiers and horses..."
Wu Gao carried his father out and stabbed him without mercy. Geng Bujue was furious. Before Wu Gao could finish his words, he sneered and said: "The last general's troops and horses will naturally form an array with the King of Yan outside the east city."
How much fighting power can we have with fifty thousand soldiers and horses, most of whom are surrendered? The last time he won by chance, it was all through treachery. I wonder what other tricks he has up his sleeve this time!"
After saying that, without waiting for Wu Gao to say anything, he turned around and walked out, making Wu Gao blow his beard and stare with anger. However, he was the airborne coach. He really had nothing to do with Geng, a down-to-earth governor, so he had to hold his nose and bear it.
I was so angry that I went to arrange my own troops to defend the city.
※※※※※※※
The so-called three huts of Princess Ning Shan Ning are really just three huts, with a dining hall in the middle, a bathing room on the left, and a bedroom on the right. The bedroom is according to the habits of the prairie tribes, with floor mats and short and high curtains, as if
Inside and outside the tent, there were tents at the four corners of the house, which were the residences of the guards. There was only one hut and one bedroom, so it was obvious that this hut was Shanin's residence.
Xia Xun smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the empress's residence. I am really honored to live here."
Shan Ning stared at him fiercely with her big eyes and said, "Although I won't kill you now, but if you dare to be so glib again, believe it or not, I dare to cut your tongue?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "My dear, your eyes are already very big if you don't stare."
"snort!"
Shan Ning was so angry that his teeth itched, he rolled his sleeves and looked back: "Tighten him, if he dares to escape, shoot him without mercy!"
Zeng Er agreed loudly, glared at Xia Xun coldly, and took off his pretending saber and bow and arrow.
Staring at his actions, he smiled and said to her: "Your Majesty, this is my residence now. If your Majesty doesn't go back to the city, why do you have to stay here as a guest?"
Shan Ning snorted coldly, went out and got on her horse, but instead of returning to the city immediately, she galloped towards the mountain. Only three soldiers went with her, and the others stayed behind. It was obviously Xia Xun's guard.
Xia Xun walked around the house twice with his hands behind his back. He wanted to go out again, but was stopped by Zeng Er, who stared at him with a pair of bull's eyes. Xia Xun stopped in a good temper and walked casually on the grass.
He sat down, basking in the warm sunshine, and smiled at Zeng Er, "Brother Zeng, you look like you're not a Han Chinese?"
Zeng Er took off the saddle from the horse and put it on the ground. While stroking the horse's mane, he said: "Yes, you have some eyesight. I am from Duoyanwei. The young lady is marrying the prince. We, the servants,
I came to the palace with the young lady."
Xia Xun said: "Oh, that's no wonder. It turned out to be the confidant of the empress. I heard that among the three guards of Taining, Fuyu and Duoyan, Duoyanwei's tribe is the weakest. The leader of your tribe married the girl to King Ning.
Your Highness, as the concubine, also intends to use Prince Ning's power to support Duoyan Wei, is that right?"
Zeng Er's face suddenly turned red, he glared at Xia Xun, blushed and cursed loudly: "Fart! Fuyu Guard, Taining Guard, but there are more people in the tribe than our Duoyan Guard, and there are more cattle and horses than us.
In the past, there were occasional conflicts over the pasture water sources, but our Duoyanwei warriors never lost. How could we be weaker than them? The young lady married the prince because the prince liked her. Our leader and the prince are the best friends...
"
"It turns out that there are frequent conflicts between Fuyu, Taining and Duoyan. Sure enough, there are only eternal interests and no eternal friends." Xia Xun's eyes lit up and he said: "Is that so? Then... Liujiakou
What happened to guard Liu Kui?"
Zeng Er's face stiffened, and then he replied coldly: "Liu Kui was my young lady's playmate since she was a child. He used to live in our tribe, but... he is a commoner, and commoners are not allowed to marry nobles. Miss
Even though you like him, you can't break the rules and marry him. Xia, you'd better keep your tongue tight and stop talking nonsense, otherwise, I'm afraid your head will be lost together with your tongue."
As Zeng Er spoke, he led the horse away and went to drink and feed the horse.
Xia Xun smiled, covered his face with his general's hat, and lay down on the grass with his arms as a pillow, thinking in his mind: "Sha Ning, this woman, is both a loser and a loser to Prince Ning. With such a fierce personality,
I want to threaten her with her privacy and ask her to do things that are detrimental to Prince Ning's interests, but I'm afraid she won't agree.
Prince Ning is short-sighted and still holds on to a glimmer of hope for the imperial court and his good nephew. He cannot make up his mind until he is in a desperate situation. It is even more difficult to coerce him into raising an army. Fortunately...fortunately, brother, I still have a hand.
, I didn’t fully place my hope in this fierce woman and the gentle Prince Ning, can I count myself as strategizing and winning the battle thousands of miles away?"
Zeng Er came back from drinking and saw Xia Xun with his legs crossed, not caring about his prisoner situation, humming a song happily: "I kiss you goodbye in the crazy night, my heart is waiting to welcome the sadness."
Zeng Er spat, laughed and cursed: "This heartless thing! Why did King Yan send such a thing..."
