The grain and grass went out of Shicheng, passed Saihan Mountain all the way to Sanburachuan City, and it was very smooth.Although from time to time you will find Wala's scout cavalry in the distance, but everything is just as Yang Chendong said, and he has not made up his mind to do it first. In the end, all the food and grass were delivered to the city of Sanburachuan. Bing Shi Wanshan personally went out of the city to greet him, and issued a receipt to the household officials accompanying the army after the inspection was completed.
Xu Youzhen left, came with a mission, and left with a more important task.At the same time, Yili also brought the Li Kingdom's army to the Shajing area, to the city of Sanbura River, where it joined Yexian's 15 army.
Arip's arrival made Ye Xian very happy, at least in terms of military strength, he now has the advantage.So while delineating the place of residence for Yili Bali Dajun, he invited Arip to his account to discuss the joint efforts to capture Sanburachuan City.
"Haha, Mr. Prime Minister, you are here. How about it, how about we join forces to make a big deal? Now the city of Sanburachuan has been surrounded by my cavalry regiment, and it can be said that it is impossible to get through..." Ye first returned Want to talk about something.Alip made him dumb with just one sentence, "Is it leaking? That's it. What happened to the thousands of horse-drawn carts that the Five-Star Army sent into the city?"
"This..." I was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Alip didn't wait to think about something first, and said out loud: "Just now the leader said, together we will have a big vote. I think this point of view is very good. That's it, let's discuss how to deal with the Five-Star Army." thing."
"Okay...huh? Deal with the Five-Star Army." Ye first nodded, but then looked at Arip with a blank face.
"My lord, you heard me right, it is to deal with the Five-Star Army." Alip said very firmly.Then he came to the map with strides, pointed there and said: "Your Excellency has just said that Sanburachuan City is now heavily surrounded, and they have just been defeated. They only have the strength to defend the city, and have no intention of leaving the city for a decisive battle. Since it is a city of hard work, why don't we attack Shicheng? It is the largest city on the grassland, where there are countless resources and hundreds of thousands of people and slaves. If we can capture it, we must get It is far more than dozens of times more than the capture of Sanburachuan City."
"Attack Shicheng, but the Five-Star Army is in charge of defending it." Yexian said to some who hadn't turned the corner.
"So what if there is defense? I have already sent someone to investigate. The five-star army here has less than 4 people. Compared with the 15 cavalry of the Wara Department and the 17 cavalry infantry in my force, 32 pairs It’s [-], whoever wins and who loses, there must be no one who can’t settle the score.” Alip said confidently.
Chapter 975 Two-faced Zhu Qiyu
This was exactly the decision he had thought about all the way, that is to capture Shicheng and severely damage the Five-Star Army.If possible, capturing Tian Khan alive is of course the best thing.And he made such a decision not only because Yili had suffered a loss in the hands of the five-star army before, but more importantly, he valued the value of Shicheng and the benefits that could be gained by capturing it.
Real politicians never act out of righteousness.It's like Arip won't have to retaliate just because Kunsha lost to the Five-Star Army.If Shishi City didn't have abundant resources and slaves, then he would have endured this tone.But now that you can vent your anger and get more benefits, why not do it?
Facing Arip's bold idea, the desire in Yexian's heart was aroused at this moment.
He had to admit that he was afraid of the Five-Star Army, but he was full of longing for Shi City, which had already been built and played its role.If possible, if he chooses between Sanburachuancheng and Shicheng, he might choose to attack Shicheng without hesitation.
Just can it really work?
Yexian didn't answer right away, his eyes kept turning.In the eyes of Arip who was watching him, he said with a chuckle: "My lord, I know what you are worried about. The Five Star Army is indeed very powerful, but it is because of this that it is full of threats to us. If we cannot use the powerful If we defeat them with superior military strength, it will be even more difficult to defeat them in the future. As long as Yang Chendong can be captured this time, there will be nothing that can threaten our existence on the grassland. Tuotuobuhua sweats already dead Now, Khan is going to die next day. Let me ask, who will be your opponent? At that time, the grassland will respect you and be your friend. We also have no ambitions , I just want to grab some silver and slaves to return to the country, so that the lives of the people in the country will be better."
"There is a saying in the Han people, that is, if people do not work for themselves, heaven and earth will perish. Even so, why do you have any hesitation? Taking advantage of the fact that you have just sold the other party's favor, ask Yang Chendong out and kill him, at that time your heart will be There will be no more devils, and you will be the only Heavenly Khan here."
Alip's ability to deceive people is very powerful. After a few words, his impetuous heart was moved, and his face even turned a little red. Obviously, the various benefits after victory have deeply stimulated him. heart.
After a while, Yexian's expression gradually returned to normal, and then he began to think about what kind of practical problems he would face in doing so, "Master Prime Minister, our troops naturally have an advantage against Shicheng, but once If Beiming intervenes, they will have an army of nearly 20, and they will still pose a threat to us."
"Hehe, sir, please rest assured about this. On the way I came, I had already sent someone to the capital of the Northern Ming Dynasty to deliver a letter to discuss this matter with their emperor. I believe news will come back in the near future. At that time, this doubt will be over. It won't be a problem. Maybe the emperor of Beiming also wants to kill this loyal and brave man who he can't control at all." Alip's face was full of strong confidence.
"Then, let's follow the plan step by step first, and wait for the news from the Emperor Beiming, and then we will start." Ye Xian finally made up his mind.Although the former Yang Chendong left him with too many shadows, but now their strength is eight times that of the opponent, what is there to be afraid of?
"Haha, okay, then let's discuss the next plan." Seeing that he had finally made up his mind, Arip couldn't help laughing in satisfaction.
......
The capital of the Northern Ming Dynasty.
Xu Youzhen, who was an imperial envoy, hadn't come back yet, in the back hall of the imperial palace, Jin Ying, the chief eunuch, came to Zhu Qiyu's bedroom anxiously.
"Why are you so flustered?" Zhu Qiyu walked out of the hall of a concubine who had just been canonized, with a displeased expression on his face.Originally, he wanted to have a good time with his concubine Ai, but now he was disturbed, no one would be happy.
At this moment, Jin Ying didn't disturb the realization of the good thing. On the contrary, he looked left and right, and after making sure that there were no other people around, he whispered: "Report to the emperor, our Jinyiwei caught a foreigner in the city." Agent."
"What?" Zhu Qiyu's face turned very ugly in an instant, "Jin Yiwei has caught a spy and is going to report to me, do you have nothing to do?"
"No, no." Knowing that she had said something wrong, Jin Ying quickly corrected: "Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary spy, but a messenger sent by Yili Baili Kingdom on his own initiative. That person took the initiative to let our Jin Yiwei find out. He also brought a letter with him. Oh, here it is."
Jin Ying carefully took out a letter from her bosom, and respectfully presented it to Zhu Qiyu.
However, after a while, Zhu Qiyu, who had read the letter, had a serious expression on his face.As if he was afraid of getting the wrong meaning, he picked up the letter and read it carefully, then he looked up at the sky and didn't speak for a long time.
Jin Ying, who had read the letter a long time ago, naturally knew the great significance it represented. Seeing that the emperor was silent for a long time, she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, how do you think we will reply."
"Who has read this letter?" Zhu Qiyu asked an inappropriate answer.
"Only the minister has seen it, and the other Jinyiwei brothers are not high enough." Jin Ying replied in a very positive tone.
"Well, I see. I have never seen this letter before. You can arrange for that messenger to leave earlier." Zhu Qiyu suddenly said such an endless sentence, and then turned around and went to the back hall. go.It's just that the direction is not the imperial concubine's bedroom, but the Qinzheng Hall instead.
Obviously at this time Zhu Qiyu's heart is also very restless, at this moment he has no intention of discussing any feelings with anyone.Seeing the back of the emperor leaving, Jin Ying nodded in a clear manner, he already knew what the emperor meant, that is, he agreed to Yili's request to unite the messengers to deal with Yang Chendong.
It's just that Zhu Qiyu was about to make Yang Chendong the King of Wunan just now, so it's really not good to do something wrong now, so everything is regarded as ignorance and left to him, the chief eunuch, to handle it.
The three parties joined together implicitly, and all kinds of calculations, including betrayal.But Yang Chendong, who was in Shicheng, didn't know anything about it. He just wondered why Yili's army suddenly stopped moving after it appeared.
That is to say, there is no intention to jointly attack Sanburachuan City with the Wara tribe, nor does it mean to send troops to deal with itself.
The so-called abnormality must be a demon. This sudden and quiet situation made Yang Chendong feel very bad. He didn't like the feeling of being unable to control the situation.
Worried, he increased the frequency of scouts' activities in the manhole area.It's just a pity that there is still no useful news sent back.According to the news, the troops of the Wara tribe and Yilibali are hurrying up to carry out siege training. It seems that they are preparing to take Sanburachuan city in one fell swoop.
"They have more than 20 people. Sanburachuan City is just an isolated city with less than [-] defenders, and most of them are recruits who have just entered the battlefield. How can they be so careful?" Apart from shaking his head to express his incomprehension, Yang Chendong still couldn't understand the military information in front of him.
It is now the end of July.In more than two months, there will be heavy snowfall on the grassland. At that time, it will be much more difficult to fight outdoors or to distribute logistics supplies.It is impossible for everyone to understand this truth, but why are they so indifferent? What are they waiting for?
"Report!" When Yang Chendong was puzzled, the voice of Qiu Wu, the captain of the First Guard, came from outside the courtyard, and then he appeared in front of Yang Chendong holding a secret report, and sent a telegram just sent to Yang Chendong's family. before.
Holding the telegram in his hand, Yang Chendong just glanced at it, and suddenly stood up from his chair, asking with a trace of puzzlement in his voice, "The telegram said that the Northern Ming Governor Shi Heng led 20 reinforcements out of Juyongguan. After that, the speed suddenly started to slow down, if this news is true or not, and when it happened, immediately send Wang Shan to send a report to inquire."
The news was sent by the secret agents of the Security Bureau hidden near Juyongguan. They saw that Beiming's reinforcements suddenly marched extremely slowly, almost stopping and going, and considering that Beiming on the front line was waiting for the reinforcements to be tight. , this phenomenon is very abnormal, so it was notified upwards by telegram.
Originally, shortly after the start of the war, Dalu City was closed, and under the policy of no exit or entry, no one would have thought that news would leak out, and no one would have figured out what a telegram was.
But no matter what, Yang Chendong still saw the telegram and learned about the movement of Beiming's reinforcements. He thought that after so long, the coalition forces of Wala and Yilibali did not attack Sanburachuan City, but scouts sent News, they are constantly practicing the combination of cavalry and footwork during the siege. For a moment in his mind, Yang Chendong couldn't help thinking, whether their goal this time is not Sanbujachuan City at all. What about yourself?
The bold idea was fleeting, but Yang Chendong caught it precisely.What followed was a burst of shock and anger.Could it be said that this bold idea is true?If this is the case, it is not impossible. After all, the benefits of capturing Shicheng are much better than capturing Sanburachuan.
If all this is true, it proves that Wala, Yilibali and Beiming have joined forces?
"Come here, go and invite Humang, Shebie, Yang Si, and City Lord Yu Mian." For such a major event, even Yang Chendong couldn't make the right decision with just a telegram. Have a good discussion.
Chapter 976 People are not as good as animals
Not long after, the four of them were called to Yang's Mansion. In the small courtyard with the signboard of the combat headquarters, Yang Chendong expressed his worries, which shocked the three of them for a while.
It can be seen that the four of them couldn't believe it when they heard the news on the first day of junior high school.But who can say clearly about political matters, it can be said that you are still friends today, and you will be enemies tomorrow. When the benefits you get can shake people's hearts, anything can happen.
"We just sent so much food and grass to Beiming, they are going to come back and do us harm now, it's too beastly." City Lord Yu Mian was trembling with his beard, and it was obvious that he was really caught Beiming's shamelessness was very angry.
Humang's performance was not much better, and he punched the side of the sand table, "Sure enough, people can't be too kind. We are willing to take the risk to help Beiming, but how do they treat us in turn? Even if those things give us a Dog, at least he'd wag his tail at us."
"Sometimes people are really not as good as animals." Shebie, who has always been known as a wise man, said grumpily at this time.This person whom Yang Chendong called many times to be calm in the face of danger, to have a view of the overall situation, and to have a strategy in mind, at this moment inevitably showed a look of indignation.
"Young master, just tell me what to do." Yang Si was more direct, with an angry look of completely obeying orders and waiting for orders.
Yang Chendong was also angry, but he was more realistic.Knowing that anger can't solve all problems, what needs to be done now is how to solve the difficulties in front of us, how to make more preparations when the war has not yet begun, instead of scolding this and that here, it has no practical meaning . "Okay, everyone calm down. When it comes to anger, I am more angry than any of you. Now let's talk about what we are going to prepare. Yu Mian, you go first."
