Chapter 1760 His Majesty's scandals are flying all over the sky
Yanmenguan and Jinyang are both very strong, not to mention the natural dangers of Huguan and Taihang between Jinyang and Yecheng.
However, Yu Wenxian and even the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty had a "shadow" on Jinyang.
When the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, after the main force of the Northern Qi Dynasty was contained in Luoyang, the elite broke through from Jinyang and rushed straight to Yecheng.
Yu Wenxian and Yu Wenchun were both participants and witnesses of this battle.
It is precisely because it is clear that the defeat of Jinyang is likely to directly affect the morale of Yecheng, and it will also make the Northern Zhou Dynasty's persistence in Henan meaningless to capture Jinyang. The Han army can go south to Puzhou at any time and turn around.
And attack the rear of the Luoyang defenders from Mengjin, or directly cut off the Luoyang defenders' northward retreat.
What's more important is that someone else's country was destroyed by this method in the first place. At this time, Yu Wenxian was also a little worried about whether he would make the same mistake again.
Throughout the ages, retribution has been unfavorable.
He was also afraid that he would be tricked by fate, so he simply stayed in Yecheng. If Yu Wenchun couldn't bear it anymore, he could rush to support in time.
Of course, what Yu Wenxian didn't know or realize was that the Han army came in a big circle from Hetao to attack Yanmen Pass, and even had to be on guard against the Xueyantuo people on the grassland at all times.
They don't have much courage to go south to provoke. The key is that they have just taken charge. Their strength does not allow it, so this is not a big problem.
The big problem is that the number of soldiers and horses of the Han army is not enough to directly compete with Yu Wenchun's cavalry, especially in the vast wilderness north of Yanmen Pass. Moreover, the current food supply is also in a hurry, so that Han Qinhu even has to fight around Pingcheng.
reclamation.
There was no way, this guy had run too far, and Li Xingchen was unable to help him even if he wanted to. If it weren't for a fertile rear area like Hetao, Han Qinhu might not be able to support Pingcheng at all.
However, Li Xingchen knew how much Han Qinhu weighed, but unfortunately Yu Wenxian did not know very well. It is not easy to spy on the enemy's intelligence on the vast grassland, especially the Han army.
The main direction of attack has been in the south for a long time, and purely because of the long-term concept of north and south, Yu Wenxian did not expect that Han Qinhu would appear outside the pass in the north, which made him dare not relax his vigilance at all, because no matter what the enemy had
No matter how many soldiers and horses, as long as they take the initiative to attack Jinyang, it will be uncomfortable enough.
Yu Wenxian's hesitation and Yu Wenchun's restraint made it actually very easy for the Han army to face the enemies of Luoyang City.
Limited by the troops at hand, it was difficult for Wang Qian and Yu Wenzhao to organize a counterattack that could pose a threat to the Han Dynasty. They could only hold on and retreat as much as possible to delay as much time as possible.
And Li Xingchen is now getting closer and closer to Luoyang City, and time is no longer something that is completely stuck on his neck.
There are still two months left until this year's winter.
Time may still be tight, but capturing Luoyang before the river freezes over seems to no longer be an elusive goal.
Therefore, Li Xingchen is even in the mood to care about his subordinates now.
Regarding Li Xingchen's question, Cai Rong was a little surprised, and then said respectfully: "I am indeed a little tired these days, but it is my duty to save lives and heal the wounded. No matter whether I am happy, angry or sad, I will not let you down or let down the many injured soldiers.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "If you need anything, just say it. I am not a slave owner. If you need it, I can help you solve it. While the war is not tense these two days, let your subordinates pay attention to rest. The battle ahead will be better."
Yes, it may even be far more tragic than Xuanyuan Pass. You too, don't tire yourself."
Li Xingchen's smile was very warm, which made Cai Rong feel warm in his heart.
"I must live up to your majesty's great trust," Cai Rong said solemnly.
Li Xingchen frowned.
I asked you to pay attention to rest. Why do you feel like you are willing to die generously?
After Cai Rong left, Yuan Lexhang turned around from behind the screen and said with a smile: "This sister of the Cai family has probably stayed in the military camp for a long time, and even her words are filled with murderous intent. Your Majesty, you can
Don't be angry."
Li Xingchen rolled his eyes and said to be reasonable, as a king and a minister, shouldn't this be a normal attitude? Don't always act like I've already conquered Cai Rong. I don't even have such a plan. Even if I have this
You have to respect the little girl’s wishes, right?
Now the whole city is in trouble. From the Imperial Guards to the Yulin Cavalry, it seems that the whole army knows that Your Majesty is chasing Dr. Cai. What is this?
Even the Jiankang Mansion heard something about this matter. Yesterday, Lechang's family letter even made some insinuations, asking Li Xingchen if he had fallen in love with any girls recently. The position of the ninth concubine in the harem was mostly vacant.
Well, if it continues to be empty like this, people will just think that the queen is jealous of talents.
Lechang has always been most worried about others saying that she is "unworthy of her virtue", so she has always been very proactive in matters like this that can show the Queen's broad mind and selflessness.
Li Xingchen was very helpless about this.
I provoked you and caused scandals to spread all over the sky.
Don’t you know that slandering Your Majesty will cost you your head?
Yuan Lexhang smiled and gave him a cup of tea: "Does Your Majesty really have this intention?"
Li Xingchen glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Now is the time to compete in the Central Plains, and any love between children must be put aside."
Yuan Leshang couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty is overthinking it. The main reason is that the officers and soldiers in the army have already heard a little bit about it, and the officers and soldiers are not very opposed to such a thing."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment.
Of course he knows that Cai Rong is very popular in the army, but just like later generations chasing goddesses, who wants the goddess to marry directly?
Yuan Lexhang hurriedly explained: "For the Han soldiers, Dr. Cai is like a Bodhisattva who can pull them out of hell, so they never think that they can reach this fairy-like woman.
And if they want this immortal who has the grace to save their lives and even have the virtue of reinvention to be happy, they must naturally have a good enough person to marry her. If not good enough, I'm afraid everyone will get together because this guy is not worthy.
Attack it."
After a pause, Yuan Leshang reluctantly nodded to Li Xingchen: "Looking now at the military, or even at the whole world, who can compare with Your Majesty? The key is that even before, some people might have liked Dr. Cai, but now
Your Majesty has already revealed his thoughts, who has the guts to compete with Your Majesty? I am afraid that all the soldiers will deal with him without His Majesty taking action."
No one in the world can compare with me? Li Xingchen blinked, this flattery is so sweet.
