Chapter 1 Waiting and looking forward to the battle
When did the battle between Wu Ya'er and Shi Chao begin?
How did Ankang Mountain leave Beijing?
People in the court were eager to know all the details, but Xin Bing could not tell more.
The distance was too far, and the rebels were blocking the way. Linzhou was busy fighting, and the beacon fire scouts from various places continuously communicated that they knew there was fighting in the north, but the specific information could not be transmitted.
"This is too dangerous! Sufficient troops should be used to strangle the rebels in Linzhou."
"Wu Ya'er is fighting in the North, what should we do here in Linzhou?"
Some ministers asked angry and frightened questions.
But someone immediately retorted: "The battle between Ankang Mountain and Wu Dudu will leave us no time to distract our Linzhou! This is exactly how to solve the danger of our Linzhou."
This is true, if Ankangshan fights in person, all the rebel troops will inevitably be dispatched, and they will be unable to support the rebels in Linzhou.
A military general immediately came out excitedly: "Your Majesty, we can take this opportunity to repel the rebels in one fell swoop!"
The emperor paid no attention to the rebels in Linzhou and said: "They are vulnerable and there is no need to waste too many troops. The most important thing now is Governor Wu! Governor Wu is being flanked by Ankang Mountain and Shi Chao. How is his safety?"
"
Ankang Mountain and Shi Chao are more terrifying than the rebels here in Linzhou. Needless to say, Ankang Mountain has all the elite rebels in its hands. Although Shi Chao has few soldiers and horses, this veteran general abandoned Fan Yang and rushed to Huainan Road.
Later, with only a few soldiers and horses to hold on to Pinglu, and to gather the wild boar's stragglers, they wandered around the north and started fighting, which was very troublesome.
Wu Ya'er tried his best to fight against one of the parties, but now he was flanked by two parties...
Cui Zheng's face was grave: "With such a reckless attack, if the army is defeated, the Northland will surely fall into chaos."
"But if Governor Wu can defeat Ankang Mountain, the rebels will fall into chaos." A young man's voice said, "There will be a chance to recover the capital."
Cui Zheng looked at the young governor standing in the palace. Although he was small, he was standing at the front. After hearing his words, the civil and military officials in the palace did not show disdain, and the emperor nodded repeatedly.
"As His Majesty said, there is nothing to fear from the rebels in Linzhou now." Li Mingyu said again, "I am willing to lead troops directly to the capital to help the military commander supervise the battle."
Ankangshan has left the capital, which is an opportunity to attack the capital, but the distance from Linzhou to the capital is long, and there are rebels blocking it...
Just after a dangerous battle in Linzhou, if the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road left, everyone in the palace would immediately say that they must not do it.
This is the bad thing about young people, they are too passionate and impulsive.
"Captain Li, please be patient for a moment, and let's take a look at the situation over there." The emperor looked to the north with worry, "Recovering the capital is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the safety of Governor Wu, and we will need Governor Li's help when the time comes."
Li Mingyu responded loudly: "It is the responsibility of the ministers to help the guards."
The young man was high-spirited and willing to help others, but the others were not so excited. They used to be angry with Wu Ya'er for not attacking Ankang Mountain and recapturing the capital, but now they are angry with Wu Ya'er for attacking Ankang Mountain at this time.
Linzhou is so dangerous at this time. There are so many rebels outside Linzhou. If he is defeated and the Northland is lost, the rebels will become even stronger and attack Linzhou in one go. Even the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road cannot stop him.
Already......
The main court meeting dispersed, and in the small court Cui Zheng once again expressed that Wu Yaer's move was too aggressive.
"He took advantage of Linzhou to attract the rebels before he started fighting." Cui Zheng said, "Wu Ya'er is indeed brave and resourceful, but his daring to use Linzhou as bait also shows the imperial court's disregard for His Majesty."
The emperor looked at the map and thought: "What does the prime minister think of his chances of winning this battle?"
Cui Zhengdao: "No matter what his chances of winning are, Your Majesty cannot let the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road leave Linzhou. If he wins, the capital will be recovered naturally. There is no need for Jiannan Road to send troops to assist. If he loses, Linzhou and Jiannan Road in Daxia will be the enemy."
The biggest barrier.”
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I won't let Mingyu take risks." The emperor nodded, looked at the map again, his eyes sparkling, "Actually, I don't care if Governor Wu uses me as a bait, as long as I can recapture the capital, even if I let him
So what’s the point of bait!”
Cui Zhengdao: "Your Majesty is brave and of course you are not afraid of being a bait, but being a bait should be done voluntarily, not by force."
The emperor was absent-minded: "In front of the great enemy, everything is trivial."
He looked at the map and clenched the hands hidden in his sleeves tightly. He didn't care what Wu Ya'er thought. He only cared about whether he could get the capital back this time.
As long as he takes back the capital, he, the emperor, will straighten his back from now on, and no matter what happens to his ministers, it won't be a trivial matter.
The small court in the palace was busy with discussions, and Li Mingyu, who was granted permission by the emperor to live in the palace, was also busy.
"Has sister already set off?" he asked in a low voice, looking at the map.
Osmanthus nodded: "According to the time when the letter came, it should be close to the capital by now."
Li Mingyu held his hands in front of him and murmured: "It must go smoothly."
Gui Hua said: "Since the eldest lady has sent out troops, she must be fully prepared."
Li Mingyu looked at her and pursed her lips: "Ms. Osmanthus, I know everything, but I'm still worried."
A smile appeared on Guihua's dull face. Yes, these are relatives. She nodded: "Miss, everything will go well."
Li Mingyu smiled, took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, I have to do things well for the sake of my sister's success."
He turned around and called for someone to come and give the order: "Be sure to guard the rebels outside Linzhou and don't let them go, at least don't let them go easily."
The emperor would definitely not let him leave Linzhou, and his sister also asked him not to leave. If he couldn't help his sister, he should take a break so that her sister could concentrate on attacking the capital.
Living in the palace were not only the prime minister, the young governor, but also Xiang Yun, who was recovering from his injuries. Although he was asleep most of the day, he learned the news as soon as he woke up.
"This is the best opportunity." He couldn't help but push himself up, and the pain made him sweat.
Jiang You hurriedly supported him: "Commander, lie down and talk."
Xiang Yun lay down and tried hard to calm down his breathing. Breathing too much would cause him heartbreaking pain. He looked up at the tent roof: "Everyone is waiting for an opportunity. Ankang Mountain is waiting for an opportunity to fight against Linzhou. I
I have known for a long time that his drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to lure Wu Ya'er to send troops.
This opportunity is what Wu Ya'er is also waiting for. Now Wu Ya'er has finally taken action, and Ankangshan has also taken action. They have all waited for their own opportunities, and our opportunity has also arrived... The soldiers of Jiannan Road
Ma should not be in Linzhou now, he should go to the capital immediately."
Jiang You smiled bitterly: "Captain, since you can see everything clearly, you should know that His Majesty will not let the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road go to the capital."
Xiang Yun said: "Yes, so our opportunity has arrived."
At this point he paused and smiled bitterly.
"If I'm not injured."
If Xiang Yun is not injured and Jiannan Road is left to guard Linzhou, then he can lead his troops to attack the capital.
Jiang You sighed softly: "Captain, please keep the green hills..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Yun raised his head and said, "We still have Xiao Nan!"
Jiang You's eyes lit up and he understood what he meant.
Xiang Nan is in Xuanwu Road, which is the closest place to the capital. Xiang Nan also has the White Robe Army...
"But there are still not enough soldiers and horses." Jiang You hesitated.
If you rush to attack rashly, you will be afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss, and you will lose your troops and your own life.
Xiang Yun said: "Now as long as we fight, it will be credit."
He took a deep breath to ease the pain.
"What's more, this is not something Xiang Nan can do alone. Qi Shan is a loser. I will give him another chance. If there is a fight, how can Mrs. Chu of Huainan Road stand by and watch?"
Jiang You nodded and understood: "When there is really going to be a fight, no matter whether you are willing or not, you have to take action. There will be chaos around the capital. If you don't fight, you will fight. Therefore, whoever fires the first shot will be the biggest."
Hero."
"Let him prepare for this in Xuanwu Dao. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly." Xiang Yun raised his hand, "Bring me a pen and paper, and I will write him a letter."
