The first thousand and forty-one chapters calm down
General Yin led reinforcements, and supplies of food and grass were continuously delivered to the military camp. The morale of the Divine Guards was greatly boosted.
Zhou Yong personally led the troops into battle, took the lead bravely, and won several battles in succession.
The vassal soldiers in Hejing City suffered heavy casualties and their morale dropped rapidly. Even the King of Hejing himself had no confidence or confidence in winning this war.
In Hejing City, which was surrounded by the Divine Guard Legion, the news was far less informed than in the past. However, major events such as all the vassal kings surrendering their private soldiers and King Jiangxia being sentenced to death in Lingchi could always reach the ears of King Hejing.
How could King Hejing not be frightened?
The young Emperor Jianye was ruthless and ruthless, and used thunderous means to destroy the Jiangxia Prince's Palace, which also shocked all the feudal kings. Once the feudal kings surrendered their private soldiers, they were like tigers with their teeth pulled out.
Make waves.
The expected vassal kings raised an army together, but it also came to nothing.
King Zhangde is dead. How can he and King Yingchuan alone stop the imperial army?
After several consecutive defeats, there were thousands of corpses of vassal soldiers in Hejing City.
King Hejing's temper became increasingly violent and irritable. But at this moment, Prince Hejing's son came to report with a solemn look: "Father, the news of King Jiangxia's death has spread to the city, and King Jiangxia's private soldiers have also lost their morale. With us.
The vassal soldiers often clashed and refused to obey military orders."
King Hejing: "..."
It was a leaky house and it rained all night!
Once the King of Jiangxia died, the 30,000 private soldiers lost their master and became an uncontrollable force.
King Hejing looked quite ugly, his plump face kept trembling, and a pair of slender eyes shot out a cold light. He gritted his teeth and said: "Humph! They have arrived in Hejing City, and I provide them with food and drink, and they also receive military pay.
I, the king, cannot help but disobey military orders."
"If you pass on this king's order, whoever disobeys the military order will be killed on the spot without mercy!"
Prince Hejing responded, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
After killing several generals who disobeyed military orders, the 30,000 private soldiers finally calmed down a lot. However, they lost their fighting spirit and their strength was far less than before.
…
The Divine Guards turned defeat into victory, and good news frequently reached the capital.
The emperor relaxed his brows, and the ministers also breathed a sigh of relief. At the court meeting, they spoke highly of General Yin.
"He is indeed the number one general in the army! As soon as General Yin left, the war turned around. He won several battles in succession and killed thousands of enemies. If we continue like this, we will recover Hejing City within half a year. It is no lie!"
"That's right! I'm asking the emperor to reward General Yin greatly!"
Among the praises, there were also some who spoke for Zhou Yong: "General Zhou personally led the troops to kill the enemy, which is why he achieved these consecutive victories. General Zhou also made great military achievements."
"General Zhou, this can be regarded as a waste of merit."
The war was going well, and the voices that were harsh and belittling Zhou Yong became much quieter. After hearing this, most people would curl their lips and say a few sarcastic remarks. Overall, the court was quite harmonious.
The war went smoothly, and Sheng Hong was in a good mood. He returned to Jiaofang Palace early that day, with a long-lost relaxed smile on Jun's face.
When Xie Mingxi saw it, she guessed a bit and asked with a smile: "Did the Divine Guards win another battle?"
Sheng Hong nodded, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Several great victories in succession have completely turned the tide of the war. We have finally silenced the courtiers."
Zhou Yong was the emperor's confidant. It was Sheng Hong's insistence that day that made Zhou Yong the commander-in-chief. The Divine Guards suffered a huge defeat and suffered heavy casualties. Zhou Yong was scolded so badly that even the emperor, Sheng Hong, suffered a huge loss of face.
, I have been criticized by others. I have heard a lot of insinuations and accusations.
Sheng Hong was depressed because of this.
Now that the Divine Guards have won the war and victory is in sight, Sheng Hong's mood couldn't be better.
Xie Mingxi asked with a smile: "Has General Lian not led his troops back to Beijing yet?"
The youngest son of King Zhangde and his family had been sent to the capital long ago and were beheaded in public display. However, General Lian did not lead the Shu soldiers back to the capital and was still stationed in Zhangde City.
Sheng Honglue nodded: "Master submitted a memorial and stated that all the remaining soldiers in Zhangde City have not yet been organized and organized, and it will take some time before they can return to the capital."
After winning the battle, it was also a time-consuming and labor-intensive task to pacify the people in the city and organize the defeated troops. General Lian was resourceful and brave during the battle, and the aftermath after the war was even more meticulous.
Xie Mingxi smiled and praised: "Master, leading the army to fight is indeed the wisest decision you have ever made."
Isn't it?
Three groups defeated the vassal army, and two groups were still fighting hard. Only General Lian won the most decisive victory. It took the shortest time and had the smallest casualties.
King Zhangde was preemptive and looked down upon General Lian. He fell into General Lian's plan and died outside the city. As a result, Zhangde City was defeated rapidly.
As a general, a woman has both disadvantages and subtle advantages. To be fair, General Lian is not necessarily better than General Chu.
…
In the spring of the ninth year of Jianye's reign, General Chu led his troops to attack Yingchuan City. King Yingchuan was captured alive and sent to the capital. On the way, King Yingchuan fell seriously ill and was dead when he arrived in the capital. He escaped the suffering of Lingchi.
Among the three vassals, only King Hejing struggled to support him.
However, it did not survive the half-year period mentioned by General Yin.
In May of the ninth year of Jianye's reign, the Divine Guards attacked Hejing City. King Hejing committed suicide, and the children, grandchildren and female relatives of Prince Hejing all committed suicide by taking poison.
In June, General Lian took the lead in returning to the capital. The emperor led his ministers to welcome him ten miles outside the city.
Tens of thousands of Shu soldiers came on horseback.
The dull sound of horse hooves lasted for dozens of miles, and the earth trembled. The military flags were flying, the troops were neat and majestic.
General Lian was wearing a battle armor, with a long sword across her waist, and was riding a BMW. The sun was scorching hot, and beads of sweat could not help but appear on General Lian's forehead. But she still straightened her back and showed no sign of fatigue.
His heroic demeanor and high-spirited spirit are impressive.
At this moment, General Lian's heroic demeanor was branded in everyone's eyes and hearts.
In the following years, everyone mentioned the word "General Lian" with full admiration and solemn tone. No one mentioned that General Lian was a woman and should not be in the military camp, let alone a general.
Sheng Hong was very excited and said loudly: "I am very relieved that General Lian has returned with a great victory."
All the ministers echoed loudly: "We sincerely welcome General Lian's triumphant return!"
This is the lavish treatment that only a general who returns from victory can receive. There is no need to remove his armor, remove his sword, or dismount his horse. The emperor personally went out of the city to greet him, and all his ministers arrived.
This was the beauty that she never dared to hope for in her deepest dreams when she was young.
At this moment, everything came true.
Although she was a woman, she did not lose what she had learned and became the commander-in-chief of the army, leading the troops in battle and achieving great victory.
General Lian's heart was surging and his blood was stirring. He raised his hands and responded loudly: "The last general has lived up to the emperor's expectations, pacified Zhangde City, and returned victorious."
