A heavy rain before the wheat harvest in May made Pingyang gloomy and gloomy.
Of course, this is just an inducement. What makes these big shots even more worried is the situation in the Bingzhou War.
The lonely city of Jinyang is in danger.
According to the latest news, the Qingzhou soldiers in the city clamored to go home, but Liu Ling killed dozens of them and was barely able to suppress them.
If three thousand infantrymen abandon Jinyang and flee eastward, their morale will be completely lost. How can they survive?
Liu Ling was still able to control the situation.
He also conscripted all the men in the city and blocked the city gates.
The healthy women and children carry food and water and guard the utensils.
Everyone had to go into battle, so that the city could be saved.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Xianbei infantry has not yet arrived. Most of the people coming so far are cavalry and are not good at attacking cities, so this is why.
The further we delay, the worse it will be. If nothing else, will we have enough food and grass?
On the fifth day of May, just when Shao Xun left Tianchi and headed south, before arriving at Jingle, three post horses arrived in half a day, transmitting urgent military information.
Princess Yu Wenjun urgently summoned Sima Yangchen, the right-hand shogunate, and more than a dozen of his subordinates, as well as several Liang officials, to sit down in the Guangji Hall to discuss matters.
"If your Majesty listened to my plan, why would you do this?" Shao Shen, the governor of the shogunate who hurriedly came from Hongnong, said angrily: "Why do you need to personally control it? Just bring those leaders to Pingyang and kill them with one sword.
Yes, I’m sorry they don’t dare to rebel. If they rebel, I will personally lead the troops to conquer them.”
Yu Liang glanced at him.
After losing contact with her brother-in-law, her sister immediately summoned Huwei General Shao Shen to Pingyang and planned to ask him to bring the main force of the Zhongwu Army over.
He believed in his clan but not his natal family, which made him feel sour.
Taiwei Wang Yan automatically ignored Shao Shen's words, stood up and saluted, and said: "Don't worry, Princess. The King has been raising troops for more than ten years, with only a few small setbacks and victory in all major battles. Although I don't know about soldiers, I also know how the King uses them.
Lao La. According to the military report from the previous period, the king defeated the enemy in the Lan Valley and beheaded the enemy (600), so the morale of the army should not be seriously affected. Perhaps the Kelan Mountains are continuous, and the tribes are in a commotion, blocking the post roads, so that the news cannot be communicated.
.”
Having said this, he still sighed and complained in his heart.
The King of Liang was a martial artist, yes, he was too impatient.
Are those tribes in the northern part of Kelan eager to recruit them now? In other words, why are they eager to take action against Daiguo?
He was not a fool. When he saw the intention of King Liang to lead his army to the north to recruit troops, he knew that he would conquer Dai within three years at the latest.
"What do you think the captain should do?" Yu Wenjun sat on Liu Cong's chariot, a little confused.
Normally, her husband would hold her hand during the official ceremony, and they would sit side by side on the chariot to receive congratulations from all the officials. But now she was the only one sitting here, feeling empty and uncomfortable.
"Go back to the princess, but there is no food today." Wang Yan frowned and thought for a while, then sighed: "The small amount of food left is mostly taken away by the king. If it can be delayed for half a month and the summer food is put into the warehouse, I can raise the funds."
Yu Wenjun opened his eyes wide.
She actually doesn't have a bad temper and has a relatively friendly personality, but she couldn't help but feel angry at this time.
"What did the captain say?" Yu Liang raised his voice, the veins on his dark face were exposed, and he didn't want to give Wang Yan face, and said angrily: "I don't believe there is no food at all."
After saying that, he looked at Da Nong Yin Xian.
Yin Xian immediately replied: "With a population of less than 10,000 people, we can still get enough military supplies."
Yu Wenjun's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Heijin Zuoying is stationed in the east of the river. General Hou is the king's disciple and has always been trusted. Maybe we can let him lead the troops north?"
"There are still three thousand cavalry from the Yi Congjun in Hedong." Yu Liang reminded.
"Then -" Yu Wenjun was about to speak when he saw the right commander of the shogunate coughing.
Lao Yang didn't want to speak so early. Seeing that Yu Liang and Yu Wenjun were giving random orders, he couldn't help coughing and reminded him - in theory, the princess could issue the final order and had higher authority than them.
"Peace, don't be impatient." Yang Chen stood up and saluted, and said: "Although I heard that the Xiongnu troops have settled down, and they want to go north, there are so many soldiers in the three cities of Pujin Pass, so we must be on guard. Hei Zhen, Yi Cong Jiu Qian Ruo
If he is transferred away, Hedong will be in danger. If Hedong is not protected, Pingyang will be in danger. Princess, be careful."
After saying this, he paused and said: "Several government soldiers in Pingyang City must not move lightly. If they do, people will be distraught. There is nothing serious in the north, so don't mess up your position."
Yu Wenjun's head was buzzing, and she subconsciously looked at her brother Yu Liang.
At the same time, she felt a little annoyed, why were everyone stopping her from saving her husband? She didn't want anything, she didn't want anything, she just wanted to send troops north to rescue Kelan and Jinyang.
Yu Liang became a little silent at this time, because what Yang Chen said made sense.
"This won't work, that won't work either!" Shao Shen slapped the case and said bluntly, regardless of other people's faces: "Aunt, this is a family matter. My nephew will lead the Zhongwu Army northward. Pingyang will prepare the food and military supplies.
.”
"General Huwei, don't raise an army out of anger." Wang Yan glanced at him and said: "There are still many traitors in Tongguan. Once the Zhongwu Army leaves, who will guard Hongnong?"
"Wang Yifu, what the hell are you worried about?" Shao Shen got angry and said, "Just let Pei Kuo come to Hongnong."
Wang Yan was so scolded by him that he couldn't hold back his face.
God is pitiful, among so many people, if there is anyone who least wants to see something happen to Prince Liang, it must be him.
The Yang family's soldiers were well-prepared, and they had long commanded the troops in Yandong, Henan, and even some counties in Qingxu. They had great appeal, and there were many generals in the army.
After all, the Pei family has 20,000 imperial troops.
There are also many Yingchuan nobles serving in the army.
As for the Langya Wang family, he was lame and his influence in the army was very limited. If something happened to King Liang, the Wang family might be the first to be eliminated. What reason did he have for not saving King Liang?
Really infuriating.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not harmonious, Zuo Changshi Pei Shao immediately stood up and said: "Princess, Heijin, Yicong, and Zhongwu armies cannot move lightly as a whole, but they can mobilize some battalions and supplement them with the Wubao tribe. The tribe will be strong."
, choose a good general to lead the army, and go north in Keqi."
This is considered a compromise plan, and it is actually very feasible.
Seeing that the others did not object, Pei Shao added: "Dong Wu from Hedong heard that the war situation in the north was anxious, so he asked himself to lead three thousand 'blind men' to go north to kill the enemy for the king of Liang."
"Is this person really blind?" Yu Liang was stunned.
Pei Shao stroked his beard and smiled and said: "General Caiguan has been in Bianliang for a long time and does not know what is going on in the east of the river. The people in the county call Ba Ren 'Blind Ba' because they praise him for his bravery and fearlessness in the face of the enemy. He is not really blind."
In fact, he was just stunned. When he saw the enemy's blades and arrows, he didn't know how to hide and rushed upward, just like a blind man.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Ba people were even proud of this, and Dong Shao wrote a letter: "I will give birth to three thousand blind Ba people who will give birth to Shuzi."
When Yu Liang heard that the Ba people were so brave, he was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Then let Dong Wu go quickly."
Pei Shao nodded with a smile and added: "The Fenyin Xue clan has always been known as loyal and brave. There are more than a thousand members of his clan, and he has trained more than ten thousand elite soldiers. He can also command three thousand warriors to go north together."
Wang Yan and Yang Chen looked at each other, knowing that this was reliable, and nodded slightly.
However, after all, in the Pei family's territory, the situation was controlled by the Pei family, and I felt a little unhappy.
When Yu Wenjun heard what Pei Shao said, her heart dropped again. She looked at Pei Shao, then at Yu Liang and Shao Shen, but stopped talking.
"Princess." Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Maybe one thousand Yi Cong cavalry, 2,400 Heijing Zuoying infantry, three thousand Ba people, and three thousand Xue's troops, for a total of nine thousand Four hundred people went north from Lishi to reinforce Xiurong and the front line of Loufan. The Liu family of Shangdang was not far from Jinyang. They should ask him to recruit thousands of strong horsemen from the tribe and 2,000 cavalrymen from the Luoyan Army from the north of Bianliang. Jinyang, stabilize the overall situation. If there is insufficient food and grass, the princess can order Liu Runzhong to kill sheep for military needs, and the court will supplement the gold and silk. If the gold and silk are not needed, some summer wheat will be supplemented in a few months."
Shao Shen rarely objected.
Yu Liang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"On the way to Shangdang, Liu Runzhong can be the commander-in-chief. All the way from Lishi——" Yang Chen said again: "The former army——"
"Let General Huwei be the commander-in-chief." Yu Wenjun mustered up his courage, suppressed the cowardice in his heart, and blurted out.
After saying that, my heart was pounding, as if I had done something extraordinary, and I didn't dare to look at anyone else.
Yu Liang glanced at his sister in surprise, this was not her temperament.
Yang Chen bowed, did not object, and sat back.
No one else objected either.
This matter is quite sensitive, and there will be endless consequences if you oppose it indiscriminately.
"As ordered." Shao Shen responded, and then looked at Zheng Long, the chief registrar, and Liu Anzhi, Cao Shangshu of the Fifth Army.
The two stood up together and said: "Since it is the princess's order, I will prepare a troop deployment document."
After the general decision was made, everyone began to discuss the details. You said something to me, and soon the discussion was almost complete.
Zheng Long and Liu Anzhi drafted troop deployment documents on the spot;
The big farmer, Duzhi Shangshu, distributes grain and grass;
Military Chief Wang Yan and Right Sima Yangchen appointed generals to command the army...
After writing the documents one by one, Yu Wenjun first printed them out, then took out the seals of King Liang and the general, and stamped them with force.
That's how it was done.
A few days later, soldiers and horses from all over the country rushed to Pingyang. Shao Shen swore an oath in the north of the city, received some military supplies, and marched northward.
At this time, Shao Xun had just arrived at Loufan, repelled Tuoba Hena and forced him westward.
After leaving 5,000 Huangtou troops to defend the old city of Loufan, on the 12th, they led their own troops, including the Silver Spear Army and 5,000 Huangtou troops, totaling more than 12,000 people and headed eastward.
Along the way, they encountered some Xianbei cavalry.
The army slowed down, but still moved firmly to the east.
Three days later, Yi Congjun returned to Jian, bringing with him more than 2,000 miscellaneous Hu Qingqi from various tribes, and the total force increased to 16,000.
On May 18th, flames shot up outside the sheep intestine warehouse. The Xianbei people burned down the mansion, which had long been empty of food, and retreated towards Jinyang.
On the 21st, the main army arrived in the west of Jinyang City and camped along the Fen River.
Looking at the general flag with the word "Liu" still flying high at the top of the city, Shao Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that the Qingzhou people would continue to flee. Whether Jinyang was lost or not would not affect the overall situation, because he did not believe that the Xianbei people would stay and defend the city.
At this time, there was a loud thunder in Bingzhou, and the rain gradually increased, lasting for several days.
Thunder Lord help me!
