Chapter 76: Warring the Officials(1/3)
After all, the news of Huo Yufeng's defeat of 50,000 Qiongzhou troops at Huerguan was widely circulated. The Qiongzhou Military Town kept silent on this matter, and the Haizhou Military Town also received the news at the first opportunity.
Time's frequent mobilization of troops and horses also slowed down, and then I waited and watched.
After returning from Huerguan, Yufeng did not return to Guzhou, but went directly back to Jinzhou. He only mentioned one sentence to the military newspaper delivered to Yuji. In fact, he did not get any consent at all, but did not care about it at all. [www..]
Yu Ji is very busy now. He is busy digesting the 20,000 prisoners brought back from Hu'er, plus the 30,000 frontier troops who were captured by fire, and the prisoners rescued in Guzhou. Now Yu Ji has a total of 100,000 frontier troops. Yu Ji has a total of 100,000 frontier troops.
There was no intention of spitting out this piece of fat, but instead stepped up the steps to digest and eat these 50,000 frontier troops. The 30,000 frontier troops who fought outside Guzhou City the first time and the 20,000 sent from Huerguan were more troublesome than the second time.
Prisoners rescued in Guzhou. Among the tens of thousands of prisoners rescued in Guzhou, all officers were taken away.
The 30,000 frontier troops who fought outside Guzhou City and the 20,000 frontier troops who returned from Huer's internment included many officers and some important figures among them. Yu Ji did not do things so absolutely.
The officers were all screened out and if they were unwilling to stay, all were sent back. The remaining ordinary soldiers were left to work for different people.
Yu Ji thought about how at the beginning he only had 50,000 troops from the capital, but now he has more than 150,000 troops. He couldn't help but feel a little complacent and wanted to fight again. However, he drew his sword and looked around at a loss. Who should he fight with? Northern Xinjiang.
The border army cannot bear the consequences. If he is not completely sure of solving the problem of the border army once and for all, there will be endless troubles. After thinking about the bravery and skill of the barbarians in the wild, Yu Ji is still wise to think about the army in his own hands.
He did not provoke the barbarians.
After thinking about it carefully, Yu Ji couldn't help but feel discouraged again. It was like a punch in the air, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
Di Du's secret information about Guandu had already arrived in Yang Rui's hands. Not long after, Yu Ji's official battle report of his victory was also sent to Di Du quickly. Along with Yu Ji's victory report, there were also various battle reports sent back from Guzhou.
kind of news.
Although Yu Ji's victory report did not mention his own credit because he didn't use it at all. Yu Ji was the head coach this time and any record he achieved was due to his wise leadership. No one can erase Yu Ji's credit.
The one who shines brightest in the whole victory report is Yu Feng. Whether it is sniping at the Hu reinforcements from the north or capturing Guzhou overnight, which is not a huge achievement. The most important thing is that Yu Feng is only seventeen years old. There are many things that are not worth mentioning.
People who knew the inside story began to wonder if Yu Ji, the father-in-law, was opening a cheating device for his son. This was incredible.
Yang Rui said with a smile in the morning: "My dear friends, it has been so long since the news of success came back. We have been discussing for so long that we should finalize the rewards so as not to chill the hearts of the previous soldiers."
Recently, Yang Rui can be said to be very happy, and his attitude towards the ministers has improved a lot. He didn't want to lose his temper every day when Guzhou had just fallen. But a voice suddenly rang out: "I have my own plans to report."
Yang Rui squinted his eyes as he watched the owner of the voice emerge from the crowd. Yang Rui said, "Ai Qing, what do you want to say?"
"I impeach Yu Feng." After saying that, he took out a memorial from his arms. Yang Rui's eyes signaled a young eunuch to come down, took the memorial and handed it to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui opened the memorial and looked at it twice, but threw it in the face of the man just now and asked: "Is this what you want to impeach?"
The man who was slapped in the face by the memorial had to bite the bullet and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Yu Qiwei was unruly and started a battle with the friendly forces at Huerguan, causing a large number of casualties to the friendly forces."
Then another person came out from the crowd and said loudly: "I impeach Yu Feng because of friction and brazen attack on the Qiongzhou Army..."
After the man finished speaking, some people came out to impeach Yu Feng. Some said that he pretended to take military honors, and some said that he set up troops to rob the people. Finally, someone came out to impeach Yu Ji, saying that he robbed others of military honors for Yu Feng.
The first people to come out were naturally people from Qiongzhou Military Town. Later, there were people from Qiongzhou Military Town who were fed with money, some who were purely jealous of Yu Feng's hotness, and naturally they were Yu Ji's enemies.
Finally, Song Moran stood up and said in a deep voice: "I have a plan to report."
Regardless of Yang Rui's increasingly ugly face, Song Moran continued to speak: "I impeach Yu Feng."
"I wonder what charge Aiqing wants to impeach Yu Feng for? Is it plundering or disregarding morality and starting a war with friendly forces?" Yang Rui asked with a playful look on his face.
Song Moran suddenly said loudly: "I impeach Yufeng for violating the holy will and should be executed."
Song Moran's words were shocking. Some people kept thinking in their hearts: Yu Feng just broke your leg, so how could he hate it so much?
Yang Rui asked at this time: "What do you mean by Aiqing's words?"
Song Moran still said calmly: "Your Majesty asked Yufeng to lead his own troops, but I remember that the imperial decree stipulated that the number of soldiers should be two thousand. In fact, Yufeng's troops have always been four thousand."
Everyone looked at Yang Rui nervously, waiting for Yang Rui's decision. But Yang Rui asked: "Yuao Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?"
Yu Ao, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind, opened his eyes when he heard Yang Rui's question and said, "If Yu Feng is really like this, we will never tolerate it."
Hearing Yu Ao's words, some people who didn't know the inside story were confused. Who was Yu Feng? Yu Ao's grandson didn't ask for mercy or help. It was really surprising.
At this time, Yang Rui suddenly said: "It's hard for everyone in the court to know so much about the military affairs on the front line. You are really the humerus minister of my Great Qin."
Everyone who had just stood up after hearing Yang Rui's compliment felt their faces become extremely hot. On the surface, Yang Rui's words were complimenting them, but the irony in his tone could not be concealed.
Yang Rui continued to speak: "As for the number of soldiers, we have already made it clear. Yufeng has a cavalry of a thousand people. According to convention, each cavalry should be equipped with two miscellaneous soldiers, so now Yufeng
The number of people under Feng's command should be four thousand."
"As for the looting by the soldiers..." Before Yang Rui finished speaking, a young eunuch suddenly walked in from the side. The old eunuch who had been standing next to him saw the young eunuch walking over quietly and facing
The old eunuch whispered for a while and then hurriedly retreated.
Then the old eunuch returned to where he was and whispered to Yang Rui. His Highness's courtiers all watched this scene quietly. If there was nothing special about such an important occasion, no one would have the courage to disturb it. Everyone was
She silently pressed Yang Rui's hand and waited for Yang Rui to tell the news.
Yang Rui laughed happily after hearing the news. When His Highness's courtiers saw Yang Rui's smile, they knew that something good must happen again. Sure enough, Yang Rui said: "I just sent the news about the head of Amul, the brother of the great Khan of the Mongol people.
It has been confirmed that it is now on its way to di du.”
His Highness's courtiers were all upset when they heard this. In the past few years, the battle against Hu was defeated again and again. Occasionally, they would boast about victory. But no matter how good the boast was, there were only a few or a dozen Hu people.
The front of my head is always pale and weak.
The brother of the Great Khan of the Mongol people was equivalent to his Majesty's younger brother in the Qin Dynasty. His status was so noble that the courtiers all said: "Your Majesty is wise." What a joke, if you don't start flattering me now, how long will it take?
Yang Rui said, "Do you know who did the credit?"
The minister who had just jumped up to impeach Yu Feng had a bad premonition. Sure enough, Yang Rui said, "It's the rebellious minister and traitor Yu Feng you just mentioned."
Yang Rui continued: "Two thousand heads of Hu people have arrived. This is the credit of Ci Yufeng's gathering of remnant soldiers. This time, in addition to Amul's head, more than 500 heads of Hu people were sent here...
"
At this point, Yang Rui paused and said, "Have there been so many heads of barbarians sent to Di Du in recent years?"
Everyone was silent and Yang Rui continued to speak: "Don't say that Yu Feng didn't commit the things you just mentioned. Even if he did, his achievements are enough to erase everything."
Yang Rui's attitude has been very clear. As long as you are so capable, it's okay to beat you.
Seeing Yang Rui's attitude soon, the courtiers quickly decided not to fight again. There is a more important thing now, that is Guzhou. The military town of Guzhou has been crippled, and now Guzhou is just a piece of fat.
I don't want to go over and get involved.
Several big families are desperately trying to get Guzhou Military Town back into their hands, just like they did more than ten years ago...
After the court meeting, Yu Ao quickly returned home. Because of what happened a year ago, Yu Ao's entourage is now extra careful. After finally returning to Yufu, the entourage breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the study, Yu Zhan spoke to Yu Ao: "And the second young master's letter."
After saying that, he handed the letter in his hand to Yu Ao. Yu Ao left and opened the letter and read it. After seeing the letter, Yu Ao's face became ugly but then he softened.
This letter is naturally Yu Ji's detailed explanation of the Hu'er Pass. Yu Ao was very angry at first, but then calmed down. Thinking of Yu Ji's predicament at that time, the military towns on the left and right were eyeing each other, and the troops were not enough to do what they are now.
It's already pretty good....
That day when Yufeng was in the school grounds, Zheng Kang suddenly came over and said, "There is someone coming from Guzhou."
"Oh?" Yu Feng asked, "What's the matter?"
Zheng Kang said: "The commander asked you to go over and say that the imperial decree will arrive soon."
Yu Feng thought for a while and asked: "Is the news of the imperial edict confirmed?"
Zheng Kang nodded and heard: "The people going forward will arrive in Jinzhou in a few days. Now Yu Zhizhou is busy."
After hearing the news was confirmed, Yu Feng nodded and said, "Call the five captains and General Tian over."
Soon Niu Er came to Yu Feng, and Yu Feng said: "Take the Cavalry Army and me to Guzhou early tomorrow morning."
Niu Er nodded and followed Tian Qi, He Song, Li, Hou Ji, and Jia Zhi, who also came over soon. When he saw the people coming, Qi Yufeng said: "Tomorrow morning I will go to Guzhou Cavalry Army to accompany me."
.”
After a pause, Yu Feng continued to speak: "You lead the infantry towards Guzhou."
It was not the first time that Yu Feng led the cavalry to go first, and everyone was used to it. After a period of rest, the Hungry Wolf Army regained its spirit. Yu Feng led them north with confidence.
Early the next morning, Yu Feng led the cavalry one step ahead. Tian Qi, Li, He Song and four others led the infantry behind.
"Commander Yu Qiwei has already set off." A voice sounded in Yu Ji's study.
"Oh?" Yu Ji's voice rang later.
"But..." the voice just said hesitantly: "A thousand cavalry troops came with Lieutenant Yu, and another three thousand infantry also followed."
"There's nothing surprising about this." Yu Ji's voice continued.
...
The Marshal's Mansion in Qiongzhou Military Town.
"That boy, Marshal Yufeng, has already set off for Guzhou."
"Commander, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"What? He traveled with a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry behind him."
"Commander, I've thought about it for a while and thought we shouldn't do anything on the road."
"Commander, I don't think it's a good time to start now."
"As the commander-in-chief says, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. We must take revenge, but not now."
To be continued...
