My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 76 Talking about the prosperity of the army, I don’t know that my cheeks are red

At the beginning of the founding of the Yan State, it experienced plunder by the Western Rong. Yantang Pass in Youyan Mountain was seven hundred miles away from the capital of Yanzhou. Beacons were set up along the way. There was a post every hundred miles. There were many good horses in the post, and military information could be delivered in three days.

The same is true for the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction. From Changchuan County, it is 170 miles northeast to the junction with Yanzhou, and further [-] miles north to Yanjing.On February [-]th, the bad news entered Yanzhou from the post station. At this time, it was still [-] miles away from the capital Yanjing.

The mountains on both sides of the road are lush and lush. Farmers sowing crops are crouching in the fields. Occasionally they straighten up and scold the children playing beside the fields. In their eyes, they watch the fast horses carrying hundreds of miles of express galloping along the official road, and the business travelers retreating along the way.
I had seen this kind of scene frequently in the last month, and I didn't think it was that strange. Then I continued to cultivate farmland, and the business travelers who retreated on the road also returned to the middle of the road and continued moving forward.

However, at another fork in the road, smoke and dust rolled into the air. Countless horses were speeding along the road beside the field. In the sight of the passing business travelers, the fast horse carrying the official document was immediately snatched away from the horse by the other party, including the person and the official document. , only the ownerless horses stayed in place, blinking.

"This... this... what's going on?"

"Horse bandits also appeared in Yanzhou?"

"The one who robbed Bailijiji's men...couldn't it be the cavalry from Rongzhou who were against...the thieves?"

"Quick report officer!"

Amidst the exclamations, the kidnapped gentleman and the knights had already disappeared from their sight.

After passing through the forest and climbing the mountain, several galloping war horses gradually stopped at the edge of the woods next to a stream. This place was deserted and full of birdsong. Occasionally, there were deer standing by the stream, tilting their heads and looking curiously at the dismounted horses. Several people dragged one person into the forest.

The bamboo tube on his back was immediately torn off, and the seal on it was torn open. The letter inside was taken out by the cavalry and presented to a figure sitting on his back in the shadow of the forest.

"Haha... The 12 troops thought they could fight a powerful battle, but it seems like that's all. Put the letter back and ask this officer to bring them the news to the Emperor of Yan."

The man stood up tremblingly and caught the thrown bamboo tube and the letter inside. Opposite him, the figure sitting on the big bluestone slowly stood up with the sound of armor rubbing against his back. He wore a scarlet cloak and a golden crown. He inserted a halberd into the ground and pulled it out.

"What makes them think this war is over? Next, it's our turn."

A whistle sounded in the forest, and a fiery red war horse galloped towards him. With its mane swaying, he got on the horse. In the woods, figures led the horses out. Some of them were Yanshan cavalrymen.

Lu Bu spurred his horse forward with his halberd, glanced at the man holding the bamboo tube, and then walked straight out of the woods. When the sky was bright, he narrowed his eyes and said softly: "He will destroy this Yanzhou."

Soon, the cavalry jumped out of the forest and rushed to Yanzhou. The man, holding a bamboo tube in his arms, was thrown onto the official road and ran on foot to Yanjing, more than 100 miles away. city ​​gate.

At this time, in the main hall of the imperial city, the early duel had passed, and the emperor and his ministers were now talking about Rongzhou's suppression of the rebellion.

The emperor was in a good mood and asked the eunuchs to bring the map stand. He walked down the imperial steps and invited the civil and military officials in the palace to see the situation in Rongzhou. The cities, troops and horses marked on it were all sent in the past few days. According to the time, the army had just entered the clouds. At that time.

"At the beginning of the month, the rebels from Ding'an City in Rongzhou sent a message to several states, accusing me of my crimes. They said that I was a coward and that there were many treacherous traitors in the emperor's side. They invited the marquis from each state to attack me. Now that more than half a month has passed, has anyone responded to them?"

In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor said with a smile that he was no longer as angry as when he heard the memorandum that day. After all, a hundred thousand troops were pressing down on the border. This was unstoppable. Taking down Ding'an City was a sure thing, as long as the Su family didn't. They died in battle, one by one, and when they were brought back to Yanjing and watched their heads being chopped off with their own eyes, the bad breath came out.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you die in battle. Having your family confiscated and exterminated as a rebel can serve as a warning to other princes who have received the message. With the troops ahead, it will be easier to cut down the vassal vassal in the future.

"The total number of Ding'an troops does not exceed [-]. This is the plan I set up five years ago, so that these princes with evil intentions will have no soldiers to use if they want to rebel. I have taken the right step in this step. The total number of soldiers and horses in the city, plus the troops surrendered by the two states before, is only tens of thousands, and the soldiers and horses cobbled together here and there are not effective at all!"

Behind the emperor were mostly important ministers in the court who were supported by the emperor when the prince was in power. In addition to Taishi Xiao Wenbi, there were five ministers, commanders of the imperial city, Zhongshu Ling, Men Ling, Yanjing Ling... all Listening quietly.

"According to the news sent back by the previous general, the rebels came out of Ding'an and attacked Yunqi County. They wanted to defeat my one hundred thousand soldiers. Regardless of their status as rebels, I still admire the bloody bravery of the Su family, and The gang of soldiers who followed them.”

Although Kitamiya's words were full of appreciation, as a civil and military official in the court, how could he not hear the underlying sarcasm? The emperor paused for a moment, and Che Jin, the commander of the imperial city, followed behind him and said, "Your Majesty, you have elevated them." To put it bluntly, these rebels are just rough guys who have never fought in a war. They think that by defeating the local soldiers and horses of the two states, they can compete with the imperial court. Little do they know that they are facing the general of the dynasty. General He is using his troops steadily. Stable, from the army marked on the picture, it can be seen that the general is still mature and prudent. The Beiyuan barbarians are in the front line. They are fighting hard and become more brave as they fight. Shibuya is the left and right wings, and they can intersect on the battlefield at any time. Even if the rebels are brave and invincible, they block the birth of slaves. The army will be disrupted by Shibuya from both sides at any time. From the side, there will be soldiers and horses from Tang Huaiyuan's prefectures and counties as reinforcements. I infer that the Su family's rebel army will not be able to hold out for a few days."

The expressionless emperor waited for him to finish speaking, with a slight smile on his face, and turned slightly sideways to show his approving gaze, "Commander Che has made a thorough analysis, but things on the battlefield are changing rapidly and should not be taken lightly. However, I still believe in the general's ability. He is I have a loyal minister and a good general who has been leading troops for decades, and he will never let me down."

Grand Master Xiao Wenbi raised his eyes but said nothing. He also supported the imperial court sending troops to suppress the rebellion. After all, the Su family openly rebelled, and they were rebellious officials and traitors. At this juncture, how could he stand opposite the emperor and make some cold-water remarks.

Moreover, He Jinchen had led troops for many years. He also knew that with one hundred thousand troops in hand, how could he lose?He has outstanding martial arts skills and has few opponents in Yanjing.

"Your Majesty is wise." A group of civil and military officials immediately congratulated the emperor.

"Don't try to flatter me either."

Kitamiya pointed at them with a smile: "You all sit in the middle of the court and handle the affairs of the Yan Kingdom. I also trust you very much." As he said that, he stood in front of the huge map with his hands clasped and raised his head to scan it. The soldiers and horses are marked one by one, as well as the attack route.

"By this time, there should be results."

At this time, a eunuch stood outside the palace gate and said, "Your Majesty, we have urgent military information!"

"Your Majesty is indeed your Majesty. As soon as I said this, the good news came." Yan Jing ordered Liu Bing to say with a smile. The emperor also smiled and raised his hand to ask the eunuch at the door to bring the military messenger into the palace. If you come here, you will probably be summoned in person to show your honor.

Soon, a figure with slightly shabby clothes walked into the hall with cautious steps, knelt down in front of the threshold, his head lowered, not daring to raise it, and held the bamboo tube containing the information in both hands.

The eunuch who stepped forward to get information saw that the seal of the bamboo tube had been torn off and his face was smeared with pink and white. His expression changed slightly. He quickly took the bamboo tube and walked quickly to the emperor who was joking with the civil and military officials and whispered. : "Your Majesty, this information has been torn apart by others."

The smile on the emperor's face froze instantly. As long as it was urgent, no one could open it privately. It would be a serious crime of beheading, and all the officials in the post station might be imprisoned.

Generally speaking, this situation is unlikely to occur.

"Go and ask that person why the bamboo tube was opened." Kitamiya ordered the eunuch, then turned around and took out the information in the tube. The paper obviously had signs of being opened, which made him more and more angry. .

After the eunuch left, he unfolded the information. When he saw it for the first time, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Wenbi, who was nearby, had quick eyes and quick hands and supported the emperor, so he did not fall.

All the civil and military officials around looked at each other in confusion. Isn’t this the Rongzhou War?Or... they can probably guess why the emperor suddenly behaved like this.

"I... my army of one hundred thousand... ah!" Thinking of Bei Miyano's words, he suddenly felt heartache, clutching his chest and yelling, and fell directly on Xiao Wenbi and fainted.

"Your Majesty has fainted!"

"...Pinch someone!" "Let me come, let me come!"

"The one in front gives way..."

The hall was crowded with people, and it suddenly became chaos.
