On New Year's Eve, the whole country celebrated the arrival of the New Year. Everyone in the Wei Dynasty was beaming with joy. It seemed that nothing bad had anything to do with today. It was just that this atmosphere was in Yanjing and Chang'an in the north, but not in the two western capitals.
It seems to have faded a lot
Yanjing City and the Marshal's Mansion are all brightly lit
On New Year's Eve, even Yun Lan, who was originally supervising the war in Tanzhou, rushed back. This phenomenon surprised the people in Yanjing City who were familiar with the Yun family's military management style or Yun Lan's military management style. Could it be that the war in Tanzhou was over?
Is it successful? Otherwise, with the strictness of Shan Shuai in running the army, how could he return from the front line before the war is over?
In addition, some well-informed people said: "Look at your lack of information. Although the Liao army is not defeated yet, Yan Yunqi has already left the city by a separate route from Tanzhou. I heard that they are all taking a detour to attack the Liao army's home base.
Let’s go! The Liao people are having fun now!”
The people next to me quickly asked: "What's going on? Tell us quickly!"
Well-informed people were very proud: "Somehow this time in the Liao Kingdom, a guy who knew a little bit about the art of war came out. He actually set up a fascination formation for our mountain commander. He brought an army of 200,000 people down south to drag the mountain commander away, and then secretly mobilized him.
Elite soldiers traveled thousands of miles to attack Xiazhou!"
The people next to him were stunned: "Xiazhou? Which Xiazhou? Could it be the Xixia city that Zhou Guangshuai captured last time?"
"No, it's Xiazhou." The well-informed person nodded: "If Xiazhou is lost, it will be lost. It is not the place of our Wei Dynasty, so there is nothing to regret, but..."
"Just what?"
The well-informed person frowned slightly: "But, who is our Lord Shanshuai? That is the iron wall of our Wei Dynasty, and it is the golden beams and jade pillars! If the Liao people are allowed to slip around in front of his eyes like this, what do you think of Shanshuai?
Where should I put my face?"
Several people next to them looked startled, and one of them frowned and said: "That's true. Although the Liao people transferred their troops on their own territory, it certainly doesn't matter to others, but to us
I'm afraid Shan Shuai won't tolerate it in his eyes. I think Shan Shuai will definitely mobilize his troops to defeat those Liao dogs outside Tanzhou City!"
The rest of the people also nodded and agreed with this statement.
Unexpectedly, well-informed people shook their heads: "Wrong, wrong!"
"Wrong? Why, does Shan Shuai not care about this matter?" Several people around him couldn't believe it.
"It's not that I don't care, but it's not that I defeated the Liao army outside Tanzhou."
"That is……?"
"Hey, how did you guys get such big heads? Didn't I just say that Yan Yunqi took a detour to raid the Liao army's lair? I heard the news yesterday that General Yun Yi captured Feng
Ning, the Second Young Master's army crossed the Luanhe River and headed straight for Xinglong... I guess they have already celebrated the New Year in Xinglong this year - Hey, Lord Shan Shuai's tiger beard is something that the Liao dogs can just stroke at will? This is not a lantern.
Maokeng, are you looking for death?"
"What! Did you attack the Liao Kingdom?" Several soldiers were surprised. The Wei Dynasty strictly implemented the policy of guarding the country. Although many Yun family commanders in the past had the ambition to march into the Liao Kingdom, most of them were rejected by the imperial court.
"Dissuade" Now Yun Lan suddenly rushed to the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom with his army, which immediately surprised the people of Yanjing who were familiar with the policies of the Wei Dynasty.
They are not worried about the outcome of Yan Yunqi's march. In their opinion, there is nothing to worry about. Lord Shan Shuai has been using troops for nearly twenty years and has never failed once. As long as the soldiers sent by Lord Shan Shuai are sent out, why?
Maybe there is a reason for losing the battle?
What they are concerned about is that if Shan Shuai ignores the imperial court's policy of guarding the border and goes to the Liao border, according to Emperor Taizu Wu's ancestral precepts, all the enemy territory captured by Bian Zhen will be directly controlled by Bian Zhen, but the Yun family
I have been commanding the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei for several decades. If I occupy a lot of territory in the Liao Kingdom again, I am afraid that the adults in the court will also have gossip to say. By then, although the emperor treats our Shanshuai lord favorably,
If there is a problem, everyone can talk and three people can become a tiger. It is not a good thing to have people saying bad things about Shan Shuai in front of the emperor all day long. What if one day the emperor believes it?
But, then again, last time the Zhou family occupied Xiazhou City in Xixia, the court was very upset for a while, and finally downplayed the matter with a big reward. Since the Zhou family did it, then our Lord Shanshuai will naturally do the same this time.
Well done! There is no reason why the Zhou family can be better than the Yun family!
The well-informed person was not surprised when he saw the surprised look of these people. He nodded and said: "The fight was over, and General Yun Yi still led the infantry when he went to fight Fengning!"
"Infantry?... Could it be that Commander Shan is determined to poach a piece of Liao people's flesh this time?"
"Isn't that right? The Liao people come to our land of the Wei Dynasty all day long to burn, kill and loot. Can't we kill them back? Take them back? Not to mention that Shan Shuai only takes Fengning and Xinglong, even if he defeats Da Da
Dingfu, when we reach Zhongjing and Shangjing, we will also applaud! Who can say that this is not what a good man does?"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded: "Yes, that's the truth." Then one of them suddenly said: "I heard that General Yun Yi is our young marshal's man. This time the marshal did not send so many veteran and famous generals, but he
I sent a general who is my nephew to fight Fengning, do you think this is to cultivate the young marshal’s strength on purpose?”
The well-informed person thought for a moment: "Zhang Laosi, don't you see that you still have some brains? Well, I haven't considered this matter originally, but your words do make some sense. Although General Yun Yi has fought in several martial arts competitions,
He performed well in the game, but I heard that eating military sticks is just like eating. To be assigned such an important task by the mountain commander, it seems that he really has the face of the young commander... But that's not right. If the commander wants to train the young commander's
Strength, then why did you send the second young master out again?"
"Ah, this... maybe... maybe the second young master already has a tacit understanding with the young marshal."
The well-informed person thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's the only way to look at it."
While the people in Yanjing City were thinking about the war on the front line, in the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion, Yun Lan was looking at a slender piece of paper coldly, her face as dark as water.
Ning Wanting frowned imperceptibly and asked in a low voice: "Is there a change in the capital?" She wondered: "Shouldn't your majesty embarrass Zheng'er?"
"Zheng'er is fine." Yun Lan put down the note and said calmly: "There is something wrong with the Yun family."
Ning Wanting raised her eyebrows: "Did the emperor do something evil again?"
The corner of Yun Lan's mouth moved slightly, and a very faint smile appeared on her face: "Lin You never does anything dirty."
Ning Wanting laughed: "Yes, yes, he doesn't do anything dirty. According to what you and your uncle said, he is all about conspiracy... So what tricks did he play this time? Could it be that he praised Zheng'er again?
, why not compose a poem for Zheng'er? That would be an honor for our Yun family, hey!"
Yun Lan shook her head and said: "I like it. I said that once Zheng'er's "Ode to Peony" was published, no one would dare to give peony poems again... But that's not the point."
His literary talents? Well, this is indeed not the important point for the Yun family. Ning Wanting smiled and asked: "Then what is the important point?"
There was a hint of ridicule on Yun Lan's face: "The emperor planned to build a new army of twelve guards, divided it into two guards, and then gave us four families each a new army of six guards... However, the emperor said that these new troops
The two armies of the imperial family are financed by the internal treasury, and the two armies of the imperial family are financed by the treasury. Our four armies... are maintained by our own money."
