News of the disastrous defeat of the Western Army spread back to Liangzhou, and the Ningguo government and the public were shocked. The more than 100,000 Western Army, including its commander Wei Zheng, were completely wiped out by the Pingyuan Army. This outcome was unexpected by everyone, including Yan Chu and
The eldest son, Sun Yuanhong, was included.
The loss of General Wei Zheng and the Western Army who were accustomed to fighting was a huge blow to Ning Guo's military strength. Yan Chu, who was an ambitious young man, couldn't help but feel that a disaster was coming. The Feng Mo coalition was unstoppable in the south, winning consecutive battles.
, the Feng army is watching in the east and is ready to attack. How to deal with this?
At this time, Right Minister Zhang Zhihong took the opportunity to stand up and propose, requesting Yan Chu to dispatch Chief Sun Yuanhong to go south to solve the current urgent need.
Zhang Zhihong's proposal was supported by many Ningguo ministers. Even the ministers who were not from the right-wing faction believed that only Changsun Yuanhong could solve the crisis in the south.
However, Yan Chu was hesitant. Now that Changsun Yuanhong was the last trump card in his hand, he naturally had to stay to protect the capital. If he was sent to fight in the south, if something went wrong or the wind army from the east took the opportunity to attack, then he would be
Something bad is going on.
After hearing Zhang Zhihong's proposal, Yan Chu did not express his position immediately, but asked Sun Yuanhong, the commander-in-chief: "General Yuanhong, do you have any good ideas?"
From the bottom of his heart, Changsun Yuanhong wanted to go south. His impression of Wei Zheng was not good, but definitely not bad. However, the Western Army was the lifeline he brought up with his own hands. Now it has been completely wiped out by the Pingyuan Army.
Changsun Yuanhong's heart was bleeding. It would be an absolute lie to say that he did not want to go south to avenge his bloodshed.
However, his reason did not allow him to do this. After all, there was still a large number of Fengjun hoarding in the east, and the Fengjun's behavior was very abnormal. It seemed that they had no intention of rushing westward. With Tang Yin's character, he must be plotting secretly.
What, he didn't dare to leave the capital rashly.
He pondered for a long time, then Fang sneered, cupped his hands and said: "I have no good strategy, I just want to stay in the capital!" While speaking, eldest son Yuanhong didn't even look at Yan Chu.
He had some complaints, even resentment, towards Yan Chu. Either you didn't use yourself. Since you used yourself, you didn't trust him. If he hadn't transferred him back to the capital from the Hexi camp, how could the Feng army have gone so smoothly?
After attacking across the Zhanghe River, how could the Western Army be completely wiped out under the command of Wei Zheng? It can be said that the Western Army did not die at the hands of the Pingyuan Army, but at the hands of Yan Chu.
Yan Chu didn't know what Changsun Yuanhong was thinking, but looking at his arrogant attitude, the hand placed under the table slowly clenched into a fist. In Yan Chu's opinion, Changsun Yuanhong must have thought that he had nothing to do now.
People are available and must and can only rely on him, so he dares to be unscrupulous in front of him and does not take himself seriously at all.
Yan Chu and Changsun Yuanhong, a pair of monarchs and ministers, never thought of going together when they considered the problem, but neither one wanted to speak out what was in their heart, resulting in no one trusting the other, and the conflicts between them became deeper and deeper.
Changsun Yuanhong's arrogance made Yan Chu hate his teeth, but he was helpless. He really had no one to rely on now and could only rely on Changsun Yuanhong. He sighed secretly, turned to Zhang Zhihong and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, Yuanhong
What the general said makes sense, I think it is most appropriate for General Yuan Hong to stay in the capital."
Zhang Zhihong frowned and said seriously: "Now the main force of the Feng-Mo coalition is in the south. If there are no generals to counter it, I am afraid that it won't be long before the main force of the Feng-Mo coalition reaches Liangzhou. When the troops arrive at the city, the king will regret it.
ah!"
"But……"
Yan Chu hesitated and was about to speak, but Chang Sun Yuanhong interrupted: "But what if I go south and the Feng Army in the east suddenly attacks? Hexi is far from Liangzhou, and it only takes half a month to rush there. Once the Feng Army comes to kill
, who in the capital can resist the wind army?"
Yan Chu was even more upset when his words were interrupted by him, but he had to admit that what he said made sense, and that was exactly his concern.
Zhang Zhihong smiled slightly and said to the eldest son, Yuanhong: "Does General Yuanhong think that we have no one in Daning? Don't forget, just a few months ago, Lin Han, the head of Xiaoling County, defeated the Feng army in Daiyun City.
, the Sky Eagle Army that completely annihilated the Feng Army was a whole legion. Now the Feng Army in the east has been severely weakened and is too frightened to move forward. Let alone Liangzhou, even Xiaoling County and the others cannot be defeated.
Woolen cloth!"
Changsun Yuanhong wanted to call Zhang Zhihong a pig brain, but he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "As far as I know, the defeat of the Sky Eagle Army was due to the change of generals on the spot, not the strategy and tactics of Commander Lin.
Gao Ming. And now that Tang Yin has reactivated Ziying and the Sky Eagle Army has been rebuilt, does Mr. Zhang think Commander Lin can still hold on?"
What he said was true, but his tone was too tough and arrogant, and he was completely arrogant, as if there was no one in Ningguo who knew how to fight except his eldest grandson Yuanhong. After hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other with anger.
, even Yan Chu frowned and looked at Changsun Yuanhong coldly.
I don't know whether he was pretending or was really angry at Changsun Yuanhong's words. Zhang Zhihong trembled, pointed at Changsun Yuanhong, and shouted angrily: "General Yuanhong said this... I don't think it is too... too contemptuous of me, Daning."
Talented man, have you destroyed your own majesty by overestimating your enemy's ambition?"
Hum! Changsun Yuanhong chuckled, raised his head, looked around at the ministers, and said slowly: "Prime Minister Zhang, there is no need to be angry, what I said is also the truth."
"you……"
"Stop arguing."
Yan Chu stood up from the table, looked at Zhang Zhihong, and then at Changsun Yuanhong, pacing back and forth in front of the king's chair in confusion.
He really couldn't make up his mind whether to send Commander Sun Yuanhong south. If he didn't send him, the war in the south was tense. The local army gathered in Jiashang County would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Feng Mo coalition. If he sent him out, he would be too close to him.
Empty, if the eastern wind army suddenly exerts force and quickly breaks through Xiaoling County, the capital will be in danger.
Alas! Finally, Yan Chu let out a long sigh and said, "I still need to consider this matter carefully, and we will discuss it later and withdraw from the court!" After saying this, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Zhang Zhihong's proposal was not adopted by Yan Chu due to the obstruction of eldest son Yuanhong. Of course he would not give up. Whether he could separate eldest son Yuanhong from the capital would affect whether he could sit on the throne of Ning Kingdom in the future.
As Tang Yin said, under the trend of desire and greed, people's eyes are often blinded. Zhang Zhihong, who is so shrewd, did not see Feng Mo's intention to swallow Ning. He regarded it as a crusade under the order of the emperor. This is also a matter of fact.
Unbelievable things.
When he returned home, he immediately found the Tianyan personnel living in his house and asked him to quickly send a message to Tang Yin in Hexi, asking the Feng army in Hexi to attack Xiaoling County again and then lose another battle. Only in this way can he have a chance to win.
The strong excuse made Yan Chu transfer commander Sun Yuanhong to go south.
According to his wishes, the spy with the eye of the sky sent a letter to Fei Ge in Hexi, explaining Zhang Zhihong's intention.
Soon, the letter arrived in Hexi and was finally handed over to Tang Yin.
During this period, Tang Yinke had been waiting for news from Liangzhou. Now he finally received a letter from Zhang Zhihong. He read the content carefully, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, looked up and chuckled, murmuring: "Very good, it seems that Zhang Zhihong is indeed doing something for me."
Zhang Zhihong allowed himself to suffer another defeat, obviously to confuse Liangzhou. The reason for doing this must also be that his remonstrance was blocked.
Don't be afraid of him making demands, but be afraid of him silently not making demands.
Now, the strength of the Hexi camp has been greatly supplemented. First, the second batch of reinforcements from the Feng Kingdom have arrived, restoring the strength of the Sky Eagle Army and the Directly Affiliated Army to 100,000. Second, the reconstruction of the new army.
Originally, the Sky Eagle Army was a cannon fodder army in the Feng Army. Now the New Army has replaced the Sky Eagle Army and become the new cannon fodder army in the Feng Army. The forces that make up the New Army are basically Ning people, ranging from soldiers to thousands of soldiers.
The commanders and even the corps commanders were all from Ning. Only the corps commander was from Feng and was personally appointed by Tang Yin. Just like before, he was still Guantang.
Last time, the New Army was completely destroyed in the Zhanghe River. Now after reconstruction, about 50,000 Ning people have been recruited, with Guan Tang as the commander of the regiment. In fact, the New Army is far from reaching the establishment of the regiment, and Guan Tang, the commander of the regiment,
His title is also far different from that of Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying and others. In fact, his military rank is only slightly higher than that of the Corps Commander.
The rank of its commander can also tell the current status of the New Army in the Feng Army.
After receiving the letter, Tang Yin immediately ordered the Sky Eagle Army and the New Army to join forces to attack Xiaoling County, with Ziying as the main force and Guantang as the auxiliary. Like the last time, this battle is only allowed to be defeated, not won, but
How to make it look like a big defeat but actually the losses are not big depends on Ziying's ability.
After receiving the order, Ziying and Guantang gathered together to discuss the battle plan.
Guan Tang was very self-aware and understood the role of the new army. He smiled at Ziying and said: "General Ziying, our new army will take the lead this time. We will definitely be defeated completely and completely."
Hearing this, Ziying couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "The new army is all from Ning. If we ask you to lead the battle, and then we ask you to be defeated, does our intention seem too clear?"
Guan Tang scratched his hair and said with an embarrassed smile: "General Ziying, what do you think we should do?"
Before Ziying could reply, someone outside the tent said, "Uncle Ziying, can you take me with you this time?"
Following the voice, Han Zhan approached from outside.
After Tang Yin brought Han Ning and Han Zhan back to the military camp, he wanted to send them directly back to Feng Country, but Han Zhan insisted on staying, and Tang Yin didn't insist much, and agreed after a little consideration.
He could keep Han Zhan, but he couldn't keep Han Ning. After all, Han Ning was a woman and had not surrendered to the army. It would be inconvenient to stay in the military camp. Moreover, Feng Jun was in the process of rectifying military discipline. As the king, Tang Yin naturally could not test the law by himself, let alone
There is also Ziying, the 'law enforcement pioneer', watching him.
In the end, he left Han Zhan behind and sent someone to take Han Ning back to Yancheng. He patted his chest and promised her that he would never let Han Zhan hurt a hair.
