Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Conferred the title of General Heroic

"We cannot put all our troops in the Zhenwu Army."

The prime minister looked calm and his voice was solemn, facing the eyes of the emperor and officials.

"We cannot concentrate all our efforts in Mobei, Xiangzhou."

The two eunuchs unfolded the map, and Cui Zheng pointed at it.

"Now Xiangzhou, Mobei, and Huainan Road are all the headquarters of the Zhenwu Army. They have won several battles. It can be said that these three places are very stable. At least the rebels will not easily touch them again."

"Since they cannot attack these places, the rebels must accumulate strength to attack other places. We must strengthen the military forces in other places."

"Is there a problem with this? Can't Governor Wu understand? Does he want to use all the soldiers and horses in Daxia?"

At this point, Cui Zheng made an unbearable complaint.

"It's been a year since we took away so many soldiers and horses, and the capital still hasn't been recovered."

He looked at the emperor, leaned down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the capital city cannot be recovered by Zhenwu Army alone, and the unrest in Daxia cannot be quelled by Zhenwu Army alone. Please put the overall situation first and not condone Governor Wu."

So it turns out that this is the case, and all the ministers followed suit and asked: "Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."

The emperor twisted on the throne: "Since Governor Wu can win consecutive victories, he must be very clear about the situation, and the arrangements of troops and horses must be well-measured. I don't understand these things about fighting."

You don’t understand either.

Cui Zheng knew what the emperor meant.

King Lu hurriedly ascended the throne and fearfully relied on all the officials, but in fact he did not trust any of his ministers. Only Wu Ya'er descended from the sky to save him from the rebels, and asked him to kill the rebels in front of the official and militia formations.

After ascending the throne, for now, the emperor only trusts him.

This is why he did not slander Wu Ya'er in front of the emperor. For the current emperor, slander is of no use, and on the contrary, he does not trust him even more.

"Your Majesty, good news, good news!"

A red-robed eunuch stumbled in, holding an urgent letter in his hand, followed by a messenger.

Another good news? All the ministers in the palace were surprised. The emperor sat up straight and asked: "Where is the good news?"

The eunuch raised the urgent message in front of the dragon chair and shouted in a long voice: "Yuanzhou has been recovered."

Yuanzhou is a fortress between Linzhou and the capital. After Shuofang regained it, the surrounding rebels were swept away by Wu Yaer's troops, but Yuanzhou outside Shuofang has always been controlled by the rebels.

To attack Yuanzhou, all troops and horses must be mobilized, which is very detrimental to Shuofang's defense. Therefore, Wu Ya'er changed his strategy and strengthened Shuofang's defense first, then left Yuanzhou aside and directly attacked Xiangzhou, turning Xiangzhou into a

It has become a place similar to Yuanzhou, posing a threat to the capital.

Xiangzhou was recaptured, and Ankangshan was not panicked. The emperor did not know that Yuanzhou was occupied by rebels, and the emperor was very panicked.

Yuanzhou's rebels come out to make trouble from time to time. Although they are all beaten back, what if a large number of rebels are reinforced? What if someone slips through the net and breaks through Shuofang's defense?

Thinking of Wu Ya'er's original arrangement, the emperor did not dare to pull out the rotten tooth, for fear of destroying a good tooth, so he could only endure the pain.

Now the rotten tooth has finally been pulled out!

"Who is it?" The emperor grabbed the dragon chair and stood up.

Xin Bing knelt down behind the eunuch: "The envoy of Shannan West Road, Shannan Middle Road, Zhang An Wang Lin, and the military envoy of Longyou Road, Xiang Yun."

...

...

Outside Yuanzhou City, the war was still raging. Corpses were mixed with broken flags. The fighting had stopped. Auxiliary soldiers, civilians, and handymen were walking through it like ants, beheading the rebels and sorting out the corpses of their own people.

Groups of officers and soldiers came in and out of the city gate, driving away the surrendered rebels and officials, and identifying the surviving civilians. The rebel flags were constantly thrown down on the city wall and replaced with the military flags of the Great Xia Guards and Longyou...

.And the flag of Shannan Road.

"Captain Xiang is amazing." Zhang An and Wang Lin stepped onto the city wall and extended his hand to Xiang Yun from a distance, "You really did it."

Xiang Yun looked at the troops and horses that surged up from behind Zhang An and Wang Lin. These troops and horses spread out on the city wall, some lined up to defend the city, and some looked for free places to plant flags...

"Throw it to death and survive." Xiang Yun retracted his gaze and looked at the two people approaching, "Yuanzhou City must be captured."

"The casualties are still huge." Zhang An sighed.

"There are also many rebels fleeing," Wang Lin added.

Without waiting for Xiang Yun's answer, the two of them said together: "Don't worry, Governor Xiang, our troops have been replenished to hunt down the rebels."

Xiang Yun said lightly: "Thank you two adults."

Zhang An and Wang Lin accepted it calmly, holding Xiang Yun's hands one on the left and the other on the right: "Master Xiang is out of sight, Jiannan Road and Shannan Road are the same family."

But Jiannan Road and Longyou are not from the same family, Xiang Yun thought, but he couldn't say these words. When he was introduced to His Majesty, Cui Xiangye said in front of the civil and military officials of the court, the first thing he said was Li Fengan of Jiannan Road.

After hearing these words, the emperor stood up from the throne without saying anything else.

"If Governor Li was still here, I'm afraid the late emperor would not have been harmed." The emperor's voice was choked with sobs and his eyes were red, so Xiang Yun came closer to look at him carefully, "Are you Governor Li's most effective assistant?"

"Captain Li entrusted his children to Lord Xiang before he died." Cui Zheng said from the side, "Captain Li's daughter married Lord Xiang's nephew and is now in Taiyuan Mansion, and Governor Xiang's nephew Xiang Nan also leads the army

To counter the rebellion, the young man was brave and loyal. When he heard that the late emperor was killed, he wore a white robe and mourned. He vowed not to fight against the rebels. Why don't you take off the white robe? In the Huazhou generation, thousands of troops and horses avoided the white robe."

The emperor was even more surprised and delighted.

When they arrived at the military camp, those rebellious soldiers and horses with various backgrounds became much more respectful when they heard that he was one of Li Fengan's eight generals, and they became much more active in following the orders.

The recovery of Yuanzhou this time was also thanks to this name. This move was originally not accepted by everyone. After all, Wu Ya'er had bypassed Yuanzhou. However, because of Li Fengan's name, everyone was doubtful about his layout and tactics. In the end, there were enough

The soldiers and horses obeyed the command and took Yuanzhou in one go in three days.

Then Shannan Dao, the two losers who had escaped before the war, came to take the credit.

Shannan Road is indeed the same family as Jiannan Road. Li Mingyu, the governor of Jiannan Road, still lives in Shannan Road, and Li Fengan's mother is also there...

In the hustle and bustle outside the city, a group of soldiers and horses came galloping over, surrounded by a red-robed eunuch, who held up the imperial edict.

"His Majesty ordered Xiang Yun, Zhang An and Wang Lin to return to the court."

Although the distance was far away, the eunuch's voice was loud, penetrating the battlefield and resounding through the city gate.

Zhang An and Wang Lin were overjoyed: "Captain Xiang, let's go quickly."

Without waiting for Xiang Yun to speak, he let go of his hand and hurriedly walked down the city wall to meet the eunuch who announced the decree.

Xiang Yun fell a few steps behind and looked at their backs, then looked outside the city and shook his head.

"Sir, these two guys," the deputy general stepped forward angrily, "not only did they not provide support at the most critical moment, but they also retreated with their troops and horses, and how dare they say that they have meritorious service? My lord, won't you expose them?"

"It hasn't been long since we came together to compete for merit, and how dignified it has been, which has aroused the distrust of His Majesty's court and made the soldiers laugh." Xiang Yundao said, "The overall situation is more important."

After that, he straightened his blood-stained armor and strode towards the city gate. The lieutenant general followed closely with his own soldiers, and the banner with a banner fluttering in the wind, majestic.

.....

.....

"A great victory, a great victory!"

"Yuanzhou has been recovered!"

"Three military governors have been awarded the title of general."

"The Jiedushi of Shannan West Road was named General Zhongwu, the Jiedushi of Shannan Middle Road was named General Zhuangwu, and the Jiedushi of Longyou was named General Yingwu."

"These three people have actually been granted the title of General. The Commander-in-Chief Wu of the Zhenwu Army has not yet been granted title."

"Dudu Wu did not capture Yuanzhou, the three of them did."

Linzhou is no longer a remote place. As the emperor's feet, news of the imperial court spreads throughout the city immediately, and people are talking about it in the streets and alleys, especially the latest war and the latest military situation. After all, this is related to everyone's fate and safety.

Everyone is talking about these three generals who suddenly appeared. It is obvious that Linzhou's military defense will be in their hands from now on.

"Zhang An and Wang Lin have never heard of it before."

"I have heard of Xiang Yun, he is Li Fengan's general."

"Li Fengan, I know!"

In an inconspicuous food stall on the roadside, the vendors and footmen were all exchanging the news they knew. Regardless of whether it was true or false, not everyone was interested in this. A brave young man sitting in the back was holding a gun.

He was gnawing on the big sheep bones with all his concentration.

"Brother, ours is a famous old shop in Beijing. This mutton bone has been passed down for hundreds of years." The shop owner was very proud of the young man who was so focused on eating. "Not everyone could eat it in the past. If you want to eat it,

Line up the numbers in advance, Prime Minister Cui often asks the cook to buy them."

The young man put down the clean bones, wiped his oily hand on his beard, and threw down a handful of money: "It's just average, not as strong as Wang's shop."

The store owner was unconvinced by the first sentence, and a little unsure by the second sentence. He came to his senses only after watching the young man walk out.

"This knight-errant beggar actually ate from Wang's shop." He curled his lips, "The family business must have been ruined by him."

The young man ignored the muttering behind him and stood on the street, facing a group of soldiers and horses galloping towards him.

"Give Way."

"The important task of a heroic general."

The soldiers shouted, and the people on the street moved out of the way skillfully. The young people also hid in the corner and looked at the soldiers and horses passing by, as well as the two flying words and the banner of the heroic general.

The young man smoothed his temples with oily hands, swung his long sword over his shoulder, and strode down the street.
