() Time passed slowly in the struggle between Li Xuan and Wu Jiangchao. As time went by, Wujiang Chao’s attitude became more and more arrogant. Chen Wen knew that he didn’t have much time, and before long, the capital’s
As soon as the decree is issued, the game is over.
Liu Yu already has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and they still need to dedicate part of the army to guard the prisoners, and they still have to face the Yan army's death struggle. According to Wu Jiangchao, it is okay to send troops, but not too much.
Over the number of troops sent, Chen Wen and Wu Jiangchao argued several times. In the end, Li Xuanqiang used his identity as the governor of Northern Xinjiang to promote it, and then he sent another 150,000 troops to Liu Yu, including 50,000 cavalry alone.
, one hundred thousand infantry.
Not long after the soldiers were sent to Liu Yu over there, Li Xuan's good days here came to an end, and the eunuchs from the capital arrived to deliver the order.
"When the Yan Kingdom invaded, Chen Wen, the commander of the Northern Army, should have fought hard to kill the enemy. But Chen Wen sat back and watched the Ming Dynasty lose ground and refused to send troops. This was dereliction of duty and fear of the enemy! Chen Wen, the commander of the Northern Army, was immediately escorted to Beijing for questioning. The Northern Forbidden Army
The commander of Wujiang Chao temporarily takes over his duties as the marshal of the Northern Army and the governor of Northern Xinjiang, and coordinates the war with Yan State!"
"Fart!" As soon as the eunuch finished announcing the decree, a general stood up and grabbed the eunuch's neck. "Say it again, say it again and try it!"
"Get out of here!" "Back off!" Wu Jiangchao and Chen Wen said at the same time.
The general just now had a ferocious look on his face. He did not let go of the old eunuch's hand at all. Instead, he yelled with all his strength, "Commander, the court is too bullying. What is wrong with the commander? Brothers, the court is going to do something wrong."
Then we, the Northern Army, will attack, and we will never surrender!"
Under this situation, the soldiers of the Northern Army took out their swords one after another and looked at the eunuch who was delivering the order with cold eyes. As long as Chen Wen gave the order, they would take action immediately. The eunuch who was delivering the order was so frightened that he almost peed in his crotch.
Whoever came out to convey the order didn't have a full pocket, so why was he so unlucky? I originally thought that this time he could take advantage of the change of coach to beat these unbacked soldiers and make a lot of money.
.Who knew these ruffians were so ruthless and even wanted to rebel against their commander?
Seeing this situation, Wu Jiangchao was not confused at all, and looked at Chen Wen with a smile, "What, is General Chen trying to rebel?"
After Wu Jiangchao waved his hand slightly, a large number of forbidden troops suddenly appeared, heavily surrounding everyone here, with their swords unsheathed and bows strung. They tended to fire random arrows at the slightest disagreement.
"It turns out that General Wu was already prepared!" Chen Wen couldn't help but smile as he looked at the imperial army that suddenly surrounded the place.
Wu Jiangchao stood up leisurely and said excitedly, "Of course, you, General Chen, have a heavy army, and I have to guard against it. General Chen, I think you should honestly hand over your military power and go to Beijing for trial. Maybe you can still
Save your life, otherwise, hum!"
"General, you can't. The imperial court has made it clear that you want to return to the capital and die. The worst we can do is fight. As long as the commander-in-chief says a word, the general will do it."
"Yes, handsome!"
"shut up!"
The generals of the Northern Army stood up and shouted loudly, threatening to fight to the death. Chen Wen immediately stopped them loudly. They were surrounded by forbidden troops. If they made any move, their lives would be in danger. "Chen Wen is the Ming Dynasty.
Ministers, you should obey the arrangements of the imperial court, and you should say nothing more. Chen is willing to hand over the military power."
"Commander, alas!"
"Okay, General Chen really understands the current affairs!" Seeing Chen Wen's decision, Wu Jiangchao said loudly. Then he leaned into Chen Wen's ear and whispered, "General Chen, things are changing. I said I hope you won't regret it. Haha.
.....!"
When Chen Wen said this, the generals of the Northern Army lost their backbone, and all of them looked ashen. As soon as the general who grabbed the old eunuch let go, the old eunuch immediately struggled out of the general's grasp and ran to him in panic.
The entourage behind him shouted, "Get him for us, get him!"
Seeing that the general seemed to have no intention of resisting, he rushed forward and used the rope three times inside and three times out to help. Seeing this, the old eunuch tidied up his clothes and walked out from behind the entourage.
. With a proud look on his face, he said to the entourage behind him, "Come here, push Chen Wen down and take him away!"
Then he ran to Chao Wu Jiang with a flattering look on his face and said somewhat flatteringly, "Congratulations to Marshal Wu for officially becoming the Governor of Northern Xinjiang. Marshal Wu is truly worthy of being a son of the Wu family. He is indeed both civil and military and resourceful!"
"We are all delighted, thank you for the compliment, father-in-law!" After saying that, Chao Wu Jiang quietly stuffed the bank note into the old eunuch's sleeve. He said with a smile, "I still need to rely on my father-in-law to speak kindly in front of the empress!"
"
After receiving the benefits, the old eunuch smiled even brighter. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Wu Shuai, don't worry, this is as it should be. Wu Shuai has made outstanding contributions, and the queen will never forget it."
"By the way, I almost forgot about the business! This is the secret message from the queen." As he said that, the old eunuch slapped his head suddenly. Then he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over quietly. Then he came over.
, asked in a low voice, "Wu Shuai, your Majesty wants me to ask, how are these three princes doing in Northern Xinjiang?"
"These three princes are not easy to deal with. Even Zhou Yunfan of the Zhou family fell into his hands even though he had a heavy army. Not long ago, Chen Wen transferred an army of 150,000 to him, and now he has 200,000 troops in his hands.
The strength of 50,000 to 60,000 troops has become a climate!"
When he heard that Liu Yu had more than 200,000 troops, the old eunuch took a breath and lost his composure. Along the way, he heard people talking about how powerful the third prince was. The old eunuch always thought it was just a rumor.
Doesn’t he know the virtues of the third prince?
But now that Chao Wu Jiang also said this, the old eunuch became a little sure. Then he looked at Chao Wu in panic and whispered, "Then what should we do? The empress and the third prince are already incompatible with each other. If the third prince gains power, we will
I have to walk around without being able to eat!"
Seeing the old eunuch acting like this, Wu Jiangchao flashed a trace of disgust in his eyes. He said with some comfort, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Although the third prince is powerful, I am not afraid of him. Now I am the commander-in-chief of the Ming army. I can destroy him by any means."
it!"
The old eunuch is not stupid either. He has seen a lot of palace battles, so he couldn't help but ask, "But the third prince is a prince and a king after all. Wu Shuai is a minister after all. He can obey your command obediently, Wu Shuai!"
The old eunuch's words made Chao Wu somewhat displeased, but he still held back and slowly explained, "Father, I am the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army coordinating the war. I asked the third prince to go to support him. If he doesn't go, it will be for his own benefit."
Yu, if you ignore the war, your reputation among the people will be ruined. If he goes, hum, I guarantee that he can go but not come!"
The old eunuch also knew that he had said the wrong thing in a moment of impatience, and immediately responded, "Okay, Wu Shuai is far-sighted and worthy of being a pillar of the country. It was our family's fault just now, so please don't take it to heart, Wu Shuai!"
"My father-in-law is right, how can I be such a person..." After some arrogance with the old eunuch, Wu Jiang Chao sent him to the county town to rest, so that he could return to Beijing tomorrow morning.
Returning to the military camp, Wu Jiangchao immediately summoned his confidants and asked anxiously, "How is it? Have all the military powers of these Northern Army generals been confiscated?"
"Don't worry, Commander, Chen Wendu will be captured obediently. How can these people have the courage to go against the Commander!"
"Okay, so we have more than 300,000 troops in our hands. As for the Yan army, we can let the third prince fight. The third prince is so powerful that he should be able to deal with it. But when I ask to clean up the mess later, we can take the opportunity to put the three princes to death.
The prince stays here."
"General, if you do this, there will inevitably be some mistakes. With so many soldiers watching, if word gets out, it will damage your reputation."
Raising the letter in his hand, Wu Jiangchao sighed, "There is nothing we can do about it. The empress said that the third prince must not be allowed to return to the capital. It would be best if the third prince could stay in northern Xinjiang and fight with the Yan Kingdom.
On the battlefield. This is the time for our Wu family to perform well. As long as the third prince is left, the Wu family will be able to surpass the Zhou family and become the first family in the Ming Dynasty!"
"The commander-in-chief has great plans, I can't wait!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and bring Wang Ming!"
"promise!"
Not long after, a hunky-backed middle-aged man wearing dark armor walked into the tent. When he got closer, he saw that he was the general who was the first to attack the old eunuch in the morning and strangled the old eunuch's neck.
When he came in, the man immediately knelt down and said with a flattering look, "I'm here to see you, Commander-in-Chief!"
"You did a great job today!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Marshal!"
"Well!" Seeing Wang Ming's look, Wu Jiangchao felt a sense of accomplishment. He said with satisfaction, "General Wang, the remaining 100,000 troops of the Northern Army will be led by you. I believe your performance today can completely defeat the Northern Army."
Convinced. Also, after taking charge of the army, slowly eliminate those who are loyal to Chen Wen and the third prince, and truly have it in your hands, can you do it?"
"Thank you, Marshal, I will swear to be loyal to you to the death!" Wang Ming said with excitement, "Don't worry, Marshal, I will fight to the death!"
