Chapter 96
Ministers of the Feng Kingdom, including King Feng, all believed that Su Muzhi's military talents could not be compared with Yuwen Lie.
In the court, after a fierce debate, finally, under the strong recommendation of the left prime minister Ding Rui, Feng Guo decided to make Ding Ze the commander and also added 300,000 troops to Hedong.
Ding Ze is the eldest son of the left prime minister Ding Rui. He is over thirty years old. He is indeed very capable, but the bad thing is that Ding Ze did not go to war this time!
In fact, if Feng Guo continued to increase troops to Hedong without changing commanders, Su Muzhi might not have been defeated by Yuwen Lie.
But King Feng Chen Guang did not have the ability to know others and was good at placing him, nor did he have any talent and strategy. It is not difficult to see from the fact that King Feng Chen Guang was actually quite stupid.
At least, he does not understand the way of power and balance.
You should know that Ding Rui is the left prime minister of Feng Kingdom and has a high position and a powerful position. At this time, his son Ding Ze held an army of more than 400,000. Not only that, but the commander of the 10,000 imperial guards in the Feng Kingdom Palace was also Ding Rui's confidant!
It can be said that since Ding Ze took over the leadership, the power of the entire Feng Kingdom has fallen into Ding Rui's hands without realizing it.
In the court, there were many left-ministered followers, and the capital's imperial guards were also controlled by him, while more than 400,000 central troops were ruled by his son Ding Ze!
If something changes happen, the Ding family will take Chen Guang's life in a flash!
After Ding Ze arrived at the Hedong battlefield, the first thing he did was to confiscate the military power in the hands of Su Muzhi in the name of Commander Feng Jun.
Afterwards, a total of one million troops on both sides finally started a confrontation on the vast plains of Hedong!
But strangely, the coaches of both sides seemed to have made an appointment, and they both remained silent. Just like I looked at you, you looked at me, and it took two months to see...
After that, the State of Zhang suddenly increased its troops to Hedong by 200,000! At this point, in this Hedong war, the total force of Zhang's country had reached more than 700,000.
Seeing this, Ding Ze from Fengguo immediately wrote a letter to the court, asking for more troops.
After the discussions of the court, Chen Guang did not think much about it and once again added 200,000 troops to Hedong.
Then, Zhang Guo increased his troops!
Ding Ze wrote another letter. This time, Chen Guang felt a little worried, but Hedong was too important to Fengguo! Moreover, the troops on both sides continued to surge, and it had reached this point. Chen Guang could not refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and hold on...
At this time, all the 800,000 Central Army of Feng Kingdom had been transferred to the Hedong battlefield, and Zhang Kingdom had almost poured out troops from all over the country!
After several more troops were added to the two sides, Zhang Guo finally started an attack.
At the beginning, Ding Ze commanded the entire army and fought well. Both sides fought back and forth, winning and losing, but then it was not the case at all.
The Central Army of the 800,000 Fengguo suddenly began to unable to withstand it, and a strange trend of retreat appeared. The fortresses stationed in the entire army began to report one after another. In a blink of an eye, the troops were defeated like a mountain...
In the next few months, Ding Ze even threw away the entire Hedong County, and it was not over yet. The army of Zhang Kingdom was holding his butt and slamming the heartland of Feng Kingdom...
When the war reached this level, Su Muzhi had already noticed something was wrong, because in theory, his side was fighting on the local level, taking up all the right time and place, and his troops were not considered to be defeated by Zhang Guo. Even if he had a head-on confrontation, he would not be able to lose like this!
The defeat in this battle was so strange that Su Muzhi keenly smelled an unusual smell. After passing the current power of Feng Kingdom's government in his mind, he immediately gasped. In shock, he knew that Feng Kingdom might change!
Su Muzhi did not reveal his opinion, but sneaked out of the Fengjun camp on a heavy rainy night.
He didn't dare to return to Fengzhou, because in his opinion, if his guesses were true, then Huidu would undoubtedly be seeking death at this time! He is a famous general. If he didn't express his position after returning to Du, how could he tolerate him?
After he sneaked out of the military camp, he changed into a thick coat and linen, and after identifying the direction, he walked towards the north of Fengguo.
In addition to Su Muzhi, there is one person among the powerful and powerful people in Fengguo who also keenly noticed the changes in the Fengguo regime.
This person's name is Sima Su, who is over fifty years old and is currently lying in bed. Although he looks like an old man now, in his early years, this person was a powerful generation of talented figures.
He was good at strategy. During his tenure as King Feng, he was in troubled by the unpredictable plan of the gods and ghosts, luring Zhang's army into the trap, annihilated 260,000 enemy troops, and regained the ownership of Hedong for the Feng Kingdom.
Afterwards, Sima Su was involved in a whirlpool of a powerful struggle. Later, because of eliminating powerful ministers and cracking down on evil businessmen, he touched the interests of high-level officials and offended many nobles in the Feng Kingdom. Therefore, he was jointly impeached and framed. Although he was not killed, he fell ill at home in his later years...
When the Battle of Fengzhang was inexplicably discarded from Hedong, Sima Su had already seen the strangeness. Now, the power in the court has fallen into the hands of the left prime minister Ding Rui. I think of the strange continuous increase in the troops a few months ago. This is probably a huge conspiracy...
Thinking of this, Sima Su, who was dying, immediately summoned his son Sima Wen. He first forced himself to cheer up and said to his son with a worried look:
"Now, Fengguo's military and political power is in the hands of the Ding family. I am worried for my father that Zhang Guo is just cooperating with the acting in this Hedong War. Wen'er... My King ** minister is blinded and cannot tell the authenticity of it. Fengguo is going to have a big problem! The capital can no longer stay! You can quickly clean up the fine and soft things, leave this place. If you don't leave, it will probably be too late..."
After Sima Su fell ill, the young Sima Wen traveled and studied everywhere. He has just returned home for half a month, so he naturally doesn't know much about the current situation in the court and China.
How could Sima Wen not know about his father's foresight? Now that he heard Sima Su say this, he hurriedly asked: "Father! Since that's the case, won't you go with me?"
Sima Su shook his head with difficulty. His lips were pale and chapped, without any trace of blood. When he spoke, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he was out of breath:
"I'm old... I'm seriously ill again, and I don't have much time... But Wen'er, you are different! So..., you should not be nostalgic. When you leave the city overnight and stay away from this disaster..."
"But... but the world is so big, where should I go to live..."
"Go... to the northern part, Pingyang County... If Feng Kingdom is shocked, only... only General Lu Chen, Zhenbei, can... can..."
Before he could finish his words, his raised arm had already fallen heavily on the edge of the bed, and he was already dead. (To be continued)
