Soldiers and horses were rushing back and forth, and the news that the court knew quickly spread throughout Linzhou.
The people who had not yet recovered from the panic of the Linzhou siege fell into panic again.
Although the battle this time was far away, because the battle was against Ankang Mountain, everyone believed that this battle was related to the overall situation of Great Xia and the life and death of Linzhou.
If Wu Ya'er wins, then there will be more hope for Daxia to put down the rebellion. If Ankangshan wins, then there is no telling how long this torturous life will last...
With everyone focusing on distant places, the rebels nearby have become irrelevant.
Unwilling to be left alone, the rebels launched another attack on Linzhou, approaching the city of Linzhou with a fierce momentum. They wanted to echo Ankang Mountain and seize the lifeline of Daxia in one fell swoop.
The emperor hurriedly ordered Governor Li of Jiannan Road to lead his troops to fight and intercept the rebels outside Linzhou. The outside of Linzhou City was also filled with soldiers and horses on three levels inside and outside.
Facing the iron walls of Linzhou, An Qingzhong in the rebel camp was not worried. Instead, he talked to the generals sitting in front of him with a bit of a smile.
"As long as we are here, none of the soldiers and horses in Linzhou dare to leave." An Qingzhong said, his eyes falling on two of them, "It is enough to leave your soldiers and horses here, and I can leave with confidence.
."
The two generals looked at each other and exchanged looks.
"Your Majesty, if it were before, let alone the two of us, it would be enough for one person to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses here." A general said proudly, his eyebrows drooping again, "But now Linzhou has soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road.
"
Another general nodded: "Your Majesty, this is the first time that troops are sent out to fight in Jiannan Road. If a sharp sword is unsheathed, it will inevitably gain a reputation. Only with Your Majesty here can we suppress them."
An Qingzhong laughed: "Don't be humble."
Several other generals also spoke one after another, "They have sharp swords out of their sheaths. You have experienced hundreds of battles." "With the reputation of the eldest young master, this little governor has to be afraid of him no matter how many troops he has." "The prince is also the number one.
If you lead an army for the first time, in terms of reputation, the eldest son will be more illustrious."
Listening to their compliments, the two generals looked a little annoyed, especially the calls they made about the eldest son. They were both eldest sons, but this one was just an eldest son, and that one was a prince. It sounded really unpleasant to their ears.
"Your Majesty." A general stood up and said, "The battle between Your Majesty and Wu Ya'er at this time is unusual. It was not easy to plan this fighter plane. Your Majesty vowed to use this battle to kill Wu Ya'er. Your Majesty has given the eldest son a long time ago."
Secret order to support the capital."
Seeing their changed expressions, the smiling An Qingzhong also stopped smiling: "The secret order I received was to ask my eldest brother to help attack Linzhou."
Another general stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the battle in Linzhou is now over. As long as we don't take action, they won't dare to move. The most important thing right now is the capital."
An Qingzhong said calmly: "I am familiar with that side of the capital, so I can just lead my troops back to defend."
The previous general couldn't help but shouted to the prince: "The most important thing to guard against in the capital is the Lady of Chu on Huainan Road. We have fought against the Lady of Chu the most and are most familiar with her soldiers and horses. Let us lead the troops to fight with her."
A fight to avoid..."
"To avoid what?" shouted the general opposite, standing up and pointing at him, "Are you saying that the prince will be defeated? We haven't fought yet, are you looking down on the prince or are you looking down on us? The prince has never been defeated since he went out with your majesty.
We were all brought out by His Majesty himself!"
The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became tense. After moving out of Ankang Mountain, the two generals became timid.
"We don't mean that," they explained, "We mean that the Lady of Chu has a strong army and cannot be underestimated."
An Qingzhong was not angry, and motioned for everyone to sit down: "I understand your kindness, and I also know the name of this Chu lady. This time, let me meet her."
What else the two generals wanted to say, An Qingzhong waved his hands and said: "You don't need to say any more. I will lead two armies back to defend the capital. You can stay in Linzhou with peace of mind to prevent the Jiannan Dao army from going to support Wu Ya'er to avoid damage.
His Majesty’s grand plan.”
Several generals on the opposite side stared at them eagerly. The two generals were angry and helpless, so they had no choice but to say yes.
In the night, An Qingzhong left the main camp commander's flag and left with his troops and horses in hiding. The two generals sat opposite each other in the camp and recalled the battles and battles since Mrs. Chu came to Huainan Road, whether it was Dou County, Guangzhou Prefecture or Yangzhou City.
A history of successive failures.
"In addition to having strong troops and horses, this Lady of Chu State," a general frowned, "the most important thing is that she can always seize the opportunity."
"The young master has always been with your majesty, relying on your majesty's protection. Of course he has never been defeated." Another general snorted, thinking of being ridiculed by An Qingzhong's people before, and the anger emerged in his heart again. Even the prince did not want to
Addressing him, he sneered, "If you insist on taking the credit from the eldest son this time, I wish him good luck."
.....
.....
In the cold night of early spring, countless people are looking forward to good luck and celebrating good luck.
"Thank God. Fortunately, Governor Li was able to adapt to the situation, otherwise Linzhou would not be so lucky."
In the Shannan Dao Yamen, several officials sat around and read documents. They read the detailed news about Linzhou in one breath and sighed with joy.
Han Xu's gloomy expression also softened slightly.
Li Mingyu was originally asked to lead the army to support Linzhou, but Zhang An and Wang Lin wrote to urge him why he hadn't come yet. He had obviously calculated that the time should have arrived, so everyone knew that Li Mingyu had not gone to Linzhou.
Then the war started outside Linzhou, and then Xiang Yun was besieged by An Qingzhong. The supporting soldiers and horses from the Southeast Road ran away, and the reinforcements from Linzhou were ambushed. Then the soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road rushed out from the sky.
He defeated An Qingzhong, rescued the seriously injured Xiang Yun, and resolved the crisis in Linzhou, and became famous in the first battle.
The memorial written by Han Xu to accuse Li Mingyu of depriving him of the Governor's Sheng Festival could not be sent out either.
Looking at Han Xu's face, the officials present politely advised him: "After all, Governor Li is a general who leads troops. He can adapt to the battlefield situation outside."
Of course they would like Han Xu to drive Li Mingyu away, and then seize the military power of the two roads of Jiannan Road and Shannan Road. It is certainly more comfortable for one person to be the master of the house than two people to be the master, but now that Li Mingyu has become His Majesty's new favorite, they will not
I foolishly followed Han Xu to make trouble, but in order to avoid being implicated, I had to hold him back.
Han Xu smiled coldly: "He didn't just adapt to the situation. He had this plan from the beginning. He didn't want to go to Linzhou at all. Instead, he went to wait for the fighter plane outside Linzhou."
The officials looked at each other and advised again: "Don't think about these things. Governor Li did this to fight the rebels. In order to understand the difficulties in Linzhou, it's good that the result is good."
What if the result is bad? Han Xu didn't say anything anymore. In today's world, winning the battle is the greatest right thing.
Li Mingyu is like this, and Wu Yaer is like this too.
The orders of the imperial court are irrelevant to them, and they have the final say on what to do.
Li Mingyu has a good result this time, but what about Wu Yaer?
This time in the battle against Ankang Mountain, we were attacked from both sides. Will there be a good result?
Han Xu sighed softly: "Daxia is not the same as it used to be. It cannot withstand failure now."
...
...
The earth has been trembling, and standing on the high hills, you can clearly see the sea of soldiers and horses coming from all directions.
"The Shi Dynasty actually has so many troops?" Wang Li shouted, his eyes solemn, "Crow, we must withdraw our troops."
The strong wind at the end of the first month made Wu Ya'er's cloak flutter. He looked around at the soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses were swarming into formation, and pieces of smoke, dust, snow and mist were rising up. The smoke, dust, snow and fog fell behind, and there were flags...
Wu Ya'er looked at these flags seriously and shook his head.
There are not enough, it is not dangerous enough, it is not enough to draw Ankang Mountain further, and it is not enough to entangle Ankang Mountain.
