Yu Wenjie didn't think so. He insisted: "Zhao Guogong Mingjian, compared with Fang Jun ravaging Jingyang, Sanyuan and other places and then sending his army directly to Baqiao, the Wei River line is more important! In the end, the top priority is still to capture
In Taiji Palace, if Fang Jun and Gao Kan's tribe join together, it is very likely that the county government's troops will be defeated."
The half of the Youtun Guards led by Gao Kan is so powerful that the Guanlong army does not dare to attack them lightly at the moment. Fortunately, the battle situation in Chang'an City is quite smooth. The Imperial City has been completely captured, and Chengtianmen, Yeting and other places have been captured.
After breaking through, the army broke into Taiji Palace and started a fierce battle. All they had to do was block the north of Xuanwu Gate, leaving the Sixth Army of the East Palace with no way to retreat. Victory would naturally come sooner or later.
But once Changsun Heng'an's troops were defeated, everything was peaceful outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the Sixth Commander of the East Palace could protect the prince and evacuate at will.
And once the prince evacuates Taiji Palace and even rushes to Hexi with Fang Jun's support, there will be endless troubles...
Changsun Wuji disagreed with this: "Although my brother is not familiar with battle formations, he has a calm temperament and a solid military strategy. There may be some shortcomings in aggressiveness, but defense is enough. You can rest assured that Gao Kan will fight alone.
With the strength, while taking into account the safety of Xuanwu Gate, it is impossible to defeat my brother."
Since Changsun Wuji spoke like this, what else could Yuwenjie say?
He could only nod and obey the order. After withdrawing, he gathered his men and dispatched scouts. He left Baqiao and crossed the Dongwei Bridge to the north, rushing to Sanyuan, Jingyang, Yunyang and other places to warn the chief officials of each county, and then to investigate Fang Jun's army.
Please report your whereabouts in a timely manner.
In fact, there is no need to warn. Soldiers and horses from all over the Guannei Road have gathered in Chang'an City, and the garrison strength is empty. Even if they are well prepared, it is impossible to resist the surprise attack of Fang Jun's tens of thousands of cavalry. The fall of each county is inevitable.
The only thing that troubled Yu Wenjie was whether to remind the Jingyang County Magistrate to burn the grain storage in Changping Granary before Fang Jun's army arrived?
Just now in front of Changsun Wuji, he wanted to remind him of this, but he hesitated and did not speak...
Fang Jun's tens of thousands of troops marched for thousands of miles, non-stop all the way. They must be lightly armed and simple, and the grain and fodder they carried was extremely limited. The grain and fodder from Xiaoguan to Xianyang, Yong, Yi and other counties had already been transported to Chang'an to supply more than 100,000 Guanlong troops.
It was impossible for Jun to get supplies, and the only place where he could get a large amount of grain was Changpingcang in Jingyang.
As long as Changpingcang is burned down, Fang Jun will inevitably fall into the dilemma of lack of food and fodder. Tens of thousands of cavalry consume a huge amount of food and fodder every day, which cannot be solved easily. This will leave Fang Jun with tens of thousands of powerful combat troops.
The iron cavalry is unable to exert its maximum combat power due to lack of food and fodder...
However, there are millions of stones of grain in the Changping Granary, which together with Xinfeng's Changping Granary provide the livelihood of the people in Guanzhong. If they are burned down, Fang Jun's army will not be able to obtain grain supplies, but it will also cause Guanzhong to run out of food.
If something unexpected happens to Xinfeng Changpingcang, Guanzhong will be completely without food.
The daily food consumption of the more than two million people in Guanzhong is simply an astronomical figure, and the civil war in Chang'an City is currently raging, and people's livelihood is almost completely destroyed. Once there is a food shortage, I am afraid that the tragedy of Yi Zi cannibalism will happen in this imperial capital.
…
With Changsun Wuji's temperament, as long as he can win this military remonstrance, he will not care whether the people in Guanzhong will be in danger of food shortage. Even if more people starve to death, he will not hesitate.
Yu Wenjie stood outside the door, looked up at the flying snow in the sky, let out a long breath, watched the scouts ride away, turned around and returned to the hall, and continued to get involved in the intense work.
…
North of the Wei River, the sky was full of wind and snow. Countless cavalry were rushing along the official road. The roaring hoofs made the fields tremble. On the way, ordinary people and official officials occasionally passed by. Those who were far away were so frightened that they hid in the wild fields on the roadside and stared blankly.
He watched blankly as the cavalry troops galloped past and headed towards Jingyang not far away.
In Jingyang City, the county magistrate Li Yifu was sitting on his knees in the government office, with several side dishes and a pot of hot wine placed on the table in front of him.
I drank a sip of hot wine, took a bite of food, looked up at the biting cold wind and falling snow outside the window, and sighed depressedly.
The county magistrate sat across from him. Seeing his depressed face and sighing, while holding a pot and pouring wine, he couldn't help but ask: "Why is the Ming Dynasty so melancholy?"
Li Yifu withdrew his gaze, picked up the wine cup and took a sip, and sighed: "In troubled times, a man should stand on the tide and fight against the waves. Even if he is shattered to pieces, he must still roar like an eagle for nine days and never fall into the blue clouds!"
Dian Shi rolled his eyes and understood what Li Yifu meant...
Then he comforted and said: "Why should the Ming Dynasty be like this? I am born with talents, and they will have their own use. Just wait for the opportunity. Moreover, the Guanlong families are powerful at the moment, but the victory or defeat has not yet been determined, and the Duke of Yue has introduced troops from the Western Regions.
When we return to support, a fierce battle is inevitable. The Ming Dynasty lives here, so it is time to hide our strength and bide our time. As long as the opportunity comes, we will be able to stand out and rise to the top."
This is not bad.
At present, there is a mutiny in Chang'an. Guanlong and Donggong are fighting fiercely. Half of the city of Chang'an has been destroyed, but no one can do anything about it. Although Guanlong is attacking steadily, the fighting strength of Donggong is still there. Now Fang Jun has led his troops back.
It is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
Rather than being on one side at this moment and not knowing what the future will bring, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. When the winner is about to be determined, then choose the winner and rely on it. Victory will be at your fingertips.
The benefits are naturally much smaller, but the risks are also smaller...
But Li Yifu said: "You simply can't understand the current trend... It seems that the East Palace still has the strength to fight, and the outcome is not yet determined. In fact, since the various families in Hedong sent troops to help Guanlong, Li Ji's Eastern Expedition army has been delayed in returning.
, it can be seen that the overall situation has been decided. The current situation is no longer about who can get the position of prince, but the strategy of the world's nobles to resist the court and weaken the nobles. At the end of the East Palace's strong crossbow, how can Fang Jun alone have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?
Fight against the world's elites? The fall of the Eastern Palace will happen sooner or later."
His talents are outstanding, he has the ability to understand the situation clearly, and he is very sure about the current situation.
It is obvious that all the powerful people in the world are now siding with Guanlong, either explicitly or covertly. The East Palace is unable to support itself, but how can Fang Jun's troops and horses become enemies of the powerful people in the world?
This mutiny, which was related to the reserve position, has now become a counterattack for all the clans in the world. In order to maintain the interests of the clans, everyone is fighting with all their strength...
I just regret that although he joined the Jin King's sect, he did not gain the Jin King's trust. He then turned to Changsun Wuji, and was even kicked from Chang'an City to Jingyang County. From then on, he was idle and depressed.
If you fail to obey orders at such a critical moment and fight alongside Changsun Wuji and Guan Long, what reward will you get after victory?
Others might be lucky because they were outside the flames of war, but for the ambitious Li Yifu, it was bad luck and inexplicable depression...
Dian Shi toasted and said: "The talents of the Ming Dynasty are rare in the world, but the descendants of Guanlong are all incompetent people. How can Duke Zhao let such talents as the Ming Dynasty be abandoned? Don't worry, when the overall situation is settled, you will definitely be transferred back to Chang'an.
, we still need to look to the Ming government to take care of us."
Li Yifu smiled bitterly and said: "When the situation was urgent, I was unable to serve under Zhao Guogong. When the situation is settled, even if Zhao Guogong remembers that there is a person like me, how much reward can he get?"
Just as he was talking, suddenly the door of the government office was knocked open from the outside, and a county official came in hastily, saying urgently: "Ming Mansion, Dian Shi, something bad happened!"
Li Yifu was startled by the knock on the door. His expression was ugly, and his anger was looming, and he yelled: "In such a panic, are there any rules?"
The official said hurriedly: "It's not just because of the low position and recklessness, it's really because of the urgency! Fang Jun has already led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack. They are already twenty miles outside the city. I'm afraid they are going to break into the city!"
"ah?!"
"Bang!"
"What did you say?!"
Li Yifu and Dian Shi were immediately shocked. Dian Shi accidentally knocked over the wine cup, spilling the wine and splashing his crotch...
When the official repeated it, Dian Shi turned from surprise to joy, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to Mingfu, congratulations to Mingfu!"
Li Yifu looked at him as if he were a fool, wondering if this man had taken the wrong medicine? We are all members of Duke Zhao. Even if he treats me meanly, the camp is clear.
Now that Fang Jun's army is coming, why the hell are you congratulating me?
Just listen to Dian Shi say: "Isn't the Ming Dynasty worried about the useless heroes? Just holding Fang Jun's army outside Jingyang City is a great achievement. Zhao Guogong will reward him based on his merits, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely be promoted to the third level!
"
Li Yifu: "..."
Are you really a fool?
You asked me to resist Fang Jun's tens of thousands of cavalry?
What kind of grudge or grudge do we have to harm me like this?
He was so angry that he kicked Dian Shi to the ground, put on a cloak and walked out. At the same time, he ordered: "Order all the soldiers in the county to put down their weapons, then summon all the officials, open the city gate, and welcome the Duke of Yue with me."
