In the Qingcheng City of Yun State, in the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace.
In the line of sight that only Xiao Cheng can see, on the golden finger panel, the attribute table of the hundreds of officials in the court is densely displayed.
Nearly half of the generals in the Yongzhou Camp whose loyalty values had dropped rapidly before saw their names gradually turn gray and finally disappear directly from the panel. Xiao Cheng already knew that the dust had settled over in the Yongzhou Camp.
Got it!
But at this time, Xiao Cheng didn't have much happiness on his face.
Today's Yun Kingdom soldiers are no longer the only ones who can fight against the Yongzhou border troops.
Stationed at the northern border of Yun State, Yu Cheng did not know the 60,000 troops under his command. Yang Dayan, stationed at the Yunli border in the southeast, had 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 Miao soldiers. There were also 50,000 Beijing suburban troops who had been trained by Di Qing before.
Camp soldiers and horses.
These soldiers and generals are all useful now.
In addition, Xiao Chengxian now has in his hands the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, Baijie Elite Soldiers, Tianxiong Army, Guan Ning Iron Cavalry and other second- and third-level elite special units that have been trained to some extent, totaling 50,000.
Public.
It can be said that Xiao Cheng has no shortage of soldiers and horses at his disposal.
But even so, Xiao Cheng felt a faint physical pain in his heart at this time.
Nearly half of the generals executed by the Yongzhou Camp this time were all middle- and high-ranking generals in the army. They had rich battlefield experience and were the backbone of the border army. After this incident, the combat power of the Yongzhou Camp was bound to be great.
discount.
Xiao Chengben had already planned to free up his hands to split up the frontier troops of the Yongzhou camp, but he never thought that the Xia State would take the opportunity of returning Wang Xiao's body to secretly incite the army, which made the morale of the army unstable. In order to protect themselves, nearly half of the generals
Have different thoughts.
In this case, Xiao Cheng had to kill ruthlessly, cut through the mess quickly, and completely clean up the Yongzhou camp!
Xiao Cheng's eyes were sharp, and the murderous intention surged in his heart.
"How many people were caught?"
The cold sound echoed in the Yangxin Hall. The murderous intention hidden in it made people shudder.
Such a gesture is rare for His Majesty nowadays.
Feng Bao in the palace fell to his knees and replied hurriedly:
"Back to Your Majesty, this time I followed the clues and found out most of the embroidery envoys lurking in Yongzhou."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he frowned, raised his voice slightly, and said with a hint of scolding:
"Why not all!"
In order to avoid greater losses to the Yongzhou camp, Xiao Yu had no choice but to take action as soon as possible. It was impossible to wait for Dongchang to slowly capture the Yongzhou embroidery envoy.
But now that the incident has occurred, the unidentified Embroidered Clothes Envoy's secret stake may be hidden even deeper!
Hearing Xiao Chengyin's angry and murderous voice, Feng Bao's heart froze, and he leaned over to confess, saying:
"My servant did something bad, please forgive me..."
Xiao Cheng frowned, then slowly relaxed his brows, and continued to speak in a deep voice:
"That's all, it's just ringworm and scabies."
Xia's plan failed, and the national war was about to begin. This was the most important thing. The remaining embroidered clothes envoys were just a bunch of mice, and they did not have enough power to reverse the situation!
"Dongchang didn't have many arrangements in Yongzhou before, and I won't hold you too accountable. But on the Li Dynasty, your Dongchang has been developing at its best for so long. After that, the Li Dynasty will never be like this again.
That's it!" Xiao Cheng said calmly.
Feng Bao swallowed subconsciously and said quickly:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never let you down!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded, then raised his eyes and shouted softly:
"Guo Xie!"
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Guo Xie, who was wearing the coveted bright red fourth-grade official uniform and kneeling respectfully aside, quickly saluted and responded.
"It's time for your Shangyu Preparatory Office to take action! The embroidered envoys of the Xia Kingdom in Yongzhou and other four states would rather kill by mistake than let go. No one involved will be spared, and they will be killed! I want you to stick to it.
The name of the pole will make children stop crying in Xia Kingdom from now on!"
Although Xiao Cheng's voice was calm, the hint of blood in it made people feel chilly.
Sticky Stick is located in the territory of Yun Kingdom. It has a great reputation and has the power to stop children from crying.
But this kind of reputation was built on the bloody heads of hundreds of officials and clans in the government and the public after Xiao Chengyujia's personal expedition. If you want to make the reputation of Nianganzhu loud and clear in the Xia Kingdom, you must also have a lot of heads.
.
The emperor's wrath must be extinguished with blood. Behind the sentence "I would rather kill by mistake than let go" are stains of blood and tears!
Hearing this, Guo Xie's eyes revealed murderous intent and he shouted in a deep voice:
"I obey your Majesty's orders!"
Since the domestic situation calmed down, the blood droplets on the stick have not been stained with blood for a long time!
-------------------
At this time, the sound of fighting at the border of Yunxia has subsided.
Broken weapons and arrows were everywhere on the ground, and the nearby soil was soaked with blood and turned red and black. Next to the corpses of Xia Jun lying on the ground, well-trained war horses were still waiting and did not leave.
The Yun army spread all over the mountains and fields, searching the battlefield carefully. If they encountered Xia's soldiers who were still alive, they did not attack them, but had them taken back for treatment.
Di Qing was riding a war horse and stood on a hillside, looking down ahead with a resolute face.
The lieutenant beside him drove his horse to Di Qing's side and said in a deep voice:
"Commander, apart from finding the broken tooth flag of the Xia army, no trace of Deyang Hou Qimo has been found."
When Di Qing heard this, he just said in a deep voice:
"It seems that Zimo has led the cavalry to break out of the siege! After all, he is a famous general of the Xia Kingdom and is extremely cautious. If he had not laid out a fish-scale formation with a tight military structure and was difficult to break through during the pursuit, I am afraid that this battle would have to be fought.
completely annihilated!"
When the deputy general heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said:
"The commander-in-chief defeated Xia's famous general Qimo in one battle, and annihilated three thousand Xia's elites with two thousand cavalry. This is enough to make him famous all over the world!"
The cavalry is extremely mobile and has always been difficult to destroy, let alone being led by a famous general from the Xia Kingdom. To destroy the enemy's three thousand cavalry with inferior strength is indeed a great result!
When Di Qing heard this, he shook his head slightly and said:
"Our soldiers are elite, and they are more calculated mentally and unintentionally. This battle is not worth boasting about!"
That being said, it's actually pretty good.
Di Qing's side was well prepared for this battle, and relying on the elite Youzhou sudden cavalry and the shock of the military formation's manifested vision, the Xia army's morale was inevitably weakened. These many factors were superimposed, and they only annihilated three thousand, but they did not
Capturing and killing the enemy general is indeed not a commendable achievement.
Di Qing paused and then said:
"Zimo is a cautious person, but he has a bit of the demeanor of General Chao Zhenbei. I'm afraid that in the future, the Xia army will be on guard against my surprise cavalry!"
When the deputy general heard this, he raised his head slightly and said with high spirits:
"We haven't captured him this time. When we meet on the battlefield next time, we will capture this man alive for His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief!"
The Yun Kingdom's army has conquered various countries over the years without ever losing a single defeat. This army that has won many battles has naturally different morale and fighting spirit.
When Di Qing heard this, he laughed, turned his horse's head, and said:
"Let's go back to the camp, mobilize the auxiliary troops, and the civilians will clean up the battlefield. After that, there are still battles to be fought!"
"Yes!" Gu Qian
As soon as the order was given, all the cavalry gathered immediately, and after a little reorganization, they immediately headed towards the Yongzhou camp.
--------------------------
The royal capital of the Li Dynasty, Thang Long Fuzhong.
Above the Nanhua Palace, Li Weining took off his royal robes, wore a full-length ornate armor, and a long sword at his waist. Under the astonished eyes of the courtiers, he walked quickly into the palace.
Behind him, there were several eunuchs, kneeling on the ground and holding trays high in their hands.
On the wooden tray, there are gorgeous royal robes, jade seals and other items.
"Your Majesty, why are you summoning all the officials to see you now?" Aohou Lihu couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
Li Weining narrowed his eyes, and without saying a word, he drew out the ornately decorated long sword from his waist and swept it away.
There was only a crisp "click" sound, and the jade seal rolled to the ground.
The extremely sharp sword cut a crack into the warm jade body. Then it fell to the ground and instantly shattered.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, what are you doing..."
Seeing this, all the ministers exclaimed in surprise.
Li Weining pointed to the broken jade seal on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"This is the seal of King An given by the Yun Kingdom!"
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in Nanhua Palace were stunned.
At this time, Li Weining swung his sword again and chopped off the royal robes, crowns and other objects given by the Yun Kingdom's court in the hands of the other eunuchs. He gritted his teeth and looked ferocious as he chopped at these things slightly crazily.
Not only did the kings of the Li Dynasty surrender to the Yun Kingdom, but even the Xia Kingdom did not surrender.
Li Weining was forced to accept the canonization and bow his head as a minister. He was the only person in history and a shame that will be recorded in the history books! No matter how great his achievements are in the future, this shameful reputation will never be washed away.
There had been no attacks before, and that was because of his tolerant temperament. But now, seeing the opportunity coming, how could he be patient?
Li Hu, who was on the side, saw Li Weining being so gloomy and immediately stepped forward and said loudly:
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing Li Hu's words, Li Weining came back to his senses, stopped holding his hands, took a deep breath, and then said:
"In the previous national war, due to the incompetence of the coach, there were two major defeats and the country was in turmoil! In order to protect the country and the people, I accepted the canonization of the Yun Kingdom and endured great shame and humiliation. For this reason, I can't sleep peacefully day by day. To this day, the situation between the government and the opposition is stable.
, only surrendering to the Yun Kingdom is a pain point that is difficult for our country to reveal!"
When Li Hu heard Li Weining's words, his eyes were stunned and he said in disbelief:
"Your Majesty, what does this mean..."
What Li Hu wanted to ask at this time was actually two questions.
One is that he is confused as to why Li Weining suddenly said such words at this time. The second is that Li Hu is shocked that Li Weining just now had the intention to put all the previous responsibilities on the late Lieutenant Chen Feng.
Maybe others don't know the inside story, but as someone who has taken refuge in Li Weining early on, he knows the reasons why he was defeated in these two national wars!
Chen Feng had already shouldered all the charges for the sake of stabilizing the country. Public opinion between the government and the opposition was already bad for Chen Feng. At this time, Li Weining added fuel to the fire and publicly accused Chen Feng. It was really too much to treat a loyal minister like this.
Got it!
At this time, Li Weining noticed Li Hu's gaze, his eyes were touched, and he slightly avoided his gaze.
But soon, his eyes became firm again.
He glanced at everyone present and immediately said loudly:
"Now that the country is recovering and recuperating, it is no longer in turmoil as before. The Xia Kingdom has also handed over a covenant, agreeing to jointly raise troops to conquer the Yun Kingdom again. The time has come to wash away the shame. Chuan Gu has ordered us to mobilize the entire army of the Li Dynasty.
, dispatch the east and west naval forces and attack Yun with all their strength!"
With just one sentence, all the officials in the Nanhua Palace started talking and talking, regardless of the lack of etiquette before the king. The entire Nanhua Palace was as noisy as a food market.
When Li Hu heard this, he suddenly felt anxious.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the war in this country. It is not easy to arrange supplies such as food, grass, soldiers and armor. Such a hasty decision to launch troops to attack Yun is really hard to accept!
Before Li Hu could come out to dissuade him, several officials stepped forward and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, no! Our country is now in power. The people's power has not been restored, and the soldiers, armor and equipment are insufficient. Only the East and West Navy can fight. At this time, we raise troops to attack Yun. How can we win?"
"Your Majesty, our country has signed a peace treaty with the Yun Kingdom. To tear it up in such a hasty manner will damage the country's reputation. Your Majesty, please think again!"
"The army does not have all the Chinese and Chinese materials. It is not good for the country to rush to raise troops. Please think twice, your Majesty!"
If some people object, then naturally some people will agree with it.
Young officials from the civil and military divisions of the DPRK and China also stepped forward and scolded:
"The king is humiliated. You don't think about how to serve the king. Instead, you try your best to stop him. What are your intentions?"
"You are like this, could it be that you are a spy from the Yun Kingdom?"
"Hmph, you are not a spy of the Yun Kingdom. You are a courageous man who has lost all your courage. He is afraid of clouds like a tiger and steals high positions. It is really shameful... Please give the king an order. I wish you all the best!"
In Nanhua Hall, there was a quarrel again.
Li Weining suddenly raised his hand and said decisively:
"The decision has been made, please don't discuss it any more! The supplies for the army have been prepared a long time ago, so don't worry. Also, all the royal robes and seals given by the Yun Kingdom were destroyed, and all the ceremonial guards were burned.
.Facing the Yun Kingdom, I have no choice but to retreat!"
When Li Weining said this, his sharp eyes swept over everyone present and shouted:
"Anyone who dissuades us again will be punished with treason!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Weining's determination was already shown. No matter how reluctant the officials were, it was difficult to dissuade him at this time.
Li Weining, who originally wanted to give advice, thought of Chen Feng who died suddenly and had to bear the blame, and Chen Liyan who fled overnight, his heart became cold, and his words of advice suddenly stopped in his mouth.
Still, don’t talk too much...
Li Weining straightened his chest, held a sword in his hand, and shouted:
"Emperor Yun Guo was able to lead a personal expedition and save the situation. This time I will personally go to the front line to command the troops and horses, revitalizing the country in one fell swoop and showing the power of our great country!"
Obviously, Xiao Cheng's deeds no longer inspire Li Weining all the time...
When all the officials saw this, they no longer wanted to comment. They all knelt on the ground and shouted in a deep voice:
"I obey the king's orders!"
Seeing this, Li Hu's heart was still heavy.
Even at this time, the country still had large-scale and astonishing eastern and western naval forces. But the navy could not reach the shore!
It was also because of this that the navy of the Li Dynasty did not appear in the two national wars.
And without Chen Feng's army, can the imperial army really defeat the Yun Kingdom?
Li Hu sighed slightly, but did not say a word, and followed the officials to kneel to the ground...
