Governor Geng Ying is the son of Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen. Geng Bingwen has three sons. The eldest son, Geng Xuan, married Zhu Biao's daughter and is Zhu Yunwen's brother-in-law. He is now working as a consort in Beijing; the third son, Geng Xuan, is a fifth-rank Beijing official.
, the official position is not too high, but it is also a lucrative position; Geng Gu is his second son, and the only one who has inherited his father's business and is in the military.
Geng Ying was one step ahead of Geng Bingwen. As early as the beginning of the year, when Zhu Yunwen wanted to attack the King of Yan, he was sent to Shanhaiguan and commanded 30,000 troops to restrain the king of Yan. However, this time, after Li Jinglong replaced his father as the general to fight against rebellion, he gave him another
He parachuted a superior: Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin. Wu Gao was a Marquis, and he was far superior to him in terms of military position and title. Geng Feng had to give up the position of commander and became deputy commander-in-chief.
After Li Jinglong's general order arrived, Geng Ping was eager to fight. Among the three generals, he had the highest fighting spirit. His father was defeated by Zhu Di and was removed from the post of rebellious general. Geng Ping wanted to avenge his father's death.
As soon as he received the general's order, he immediately mobilized his troops, and together with Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, and Yang Wen, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, traveled starry and night to attack Yongping City.
After the three generals joined forces, the total strength was more than 60,000. The Yan army stationed in the small Yongping City was only a few thousand people. Naturally, it was no problem. The three generals mobilized their armies to attack the city day and night. Yongping was captured at dawn the next day.
After Pingcheng was captured, King Yan's defeated troops fled to Beiping, while the three generals stationed in Yongping. While arranging defenses, they reported the victory to Li Jinglong's camp in Texas.
Unexpectedly, just after the battle report was sent out, Tan Ma, who was chasing King Yan's defeated troops to Peiping, came flying to report that King Yan's army was galloping towards Yongping. Wu Gao was shocked and said to Geng Qing and Yang Wen: "Yan Ni's reaction is so strange
So fast, as soon as the defeated soldiers fled back, his reinforcements set off!"
Before he finished speaking, the second detective came to report: "Report, General, King Yan's reinforcements are coming to Yongping on a starry night journey. It is estimated that his troops are about 50,000."
Geng Wei said in surprise: "How is it possible? How could Yan Ni send an army of 50,000? Cao Guozheng is ready to attack Beiping City. With so many troops, does the King of Yan not intend to hold on to Beiping?"
Yang Wenqi said: "How could this be so? If the King of Yan abandoned the city and went to war, that would be great. He has lost his foundation. How can he still be the King of Yan? The morale of the army will inevitably be weakened. An army of 50,000? This is almost what the King of Yan can mobilize at the moment.
It’s the limit of the battle, it’s impossible! There must be some deceit in it, maybe it’s King Yan’s bluff, so he sets up a suspicious formation, sets up more flags and drums, sets up more cooking stoves, deliberately confuses my ears and eyes, let’s explore again!”
Just as the detective horses left, the third detective horse arrived again. This time, they not only still insisted that the Yan army had at least 50,000 troops, but also brought an even more shocking news: the general commanding the army was the King of Yan himself, Zhu Di.
Wu Gao, Geng Gu, and Yang Wen looked at each other. After a long while, Yang Wencai said inexplicably: "How can this be true? Cao Guogong's hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing down on the border. Peiping is in danger. The King of Yan ignores it and goes out to seize Yongping. Why? Is Yongping worse than Peiping?
Is it important? King Yan’s use of troops is really unpredictable and completely unreasonable!"
Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao said solemnly: "In any case, I'm afraid the news is not false. Yongping City is low and shallow, so it is not suitable to hold on. Tens of thousands of troops are holding on to the city, but they can't maneuver around it. If they go out to fight in the city, King Yan himself will send his army to
Come on, the morale is high and the military strength is not inferior to ours, so the two generals should be cautious."
Geng Wei sneered and said: "Master Hou, Mr. Yang Zongbing, haven't you understood? King Yan is using the strong to bully the weak and defeating each other. His methods are exactly the same as those used to deal with my father. He wants to solve it."
Let us all relieve our worries and go all out to deal with Cao Guogong. At the same time, our defeat will damage Cao Guogong's military morale. In my opinion, if we can successfully dampen his spirit, it will be a great victory. Our 60,000-strong army
They are crowded into a small Yongping city and can't be manipulated at all. Since King Yan's military strength is still slightly inferior to mine, why don't we form an array outside the city and fight behind the city."
Wu Gao disagreed: "The walls of Yongping City are short and the 60,000-strong army cannot be manipulated. However, it would be too reckless to fight behind the city and seize the upper hand. General Yang, you immediately lead your troops to camp outside the north city and dig more trenches."
, Duobu Jingji, your troops are from Liaodong, and they are all cavalry. The King of Yan has come with bad intentions. Once we cannot hold it, we will have to rely on your troops to be the vanguard and return to Shanhaiguan."
Geng Qi said unconvinced: "Master Marquis, our troops are at least a bit larger than those of King Yan. What's more, if we wait for work at leisure, and worry about defeat before fighting, wouldn't we only enhance others' ambition and destroy our own prestige?"
Wu Gao was old and mature, and his magnanimity was not comparable to that of young people. Hearing this, he just smiled slightly, not angry, and said: "Before worrying about victory, consider defeat first, this is the way to be a general. What's more, King Yan is here, it is clear that he is
I want to catch a turtle in a jar and annihilate our Yongping garrison in order to achieve the effect of seizing the enemy first. Previously, King Yan used 30,000 soldiers to defeat his 130,000-strong army. It can be seen that the strength of the Yan army should not be underestimated. I am so careful.
It’s also a helpless move.
It should be noted that King Yan is anxious to jump over the wall, but we do not need to fight stubbornly. If we are really unable to resist the enemy, as long as we successfully break through the encirclement and retreat to Shanhaiguan, it will be a thorn in King Yan's belly and back, and we will always tell him to sit down.
We are restless, this has achieved our goal. Governor Geng, your soldiers and horses..."
Wu Gao carried his father out and stabbed him without mercy. Geng Qi was furious. Before Wu Gao could finish his words, he sneered and said: "The last general's troops will naturally form an array outside Dongcheng. Yan
The king has 50,000 troops, most of which are surrendered troops. How much fighting power can he have? The last time he won by chance, it was all through treachery. I want to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve this time!"
After saying that, Wu Gao turned around and walked out without waiting for a word. Wu Gao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. However, he was the airborne coach. There was really nothing he could do about Geng Gu, a solid governor, so he had to pinch his nose and endure this.
He was so angry that he went to arrange his troops to defend the city.

The so-called three huts by Princess Ning Shan Ning are really just three huts. There is a dining hall in the middle, a bathing room on the left, and a bedroom on the right. According to the habits of the prairie tribes, the bedroom is covered with floor mats and short and high curtains, as if
Inside and outside the tent, there are tents at the four corners of the house, which are the residences of the guards. There is only one small room and one bedroom, so it is obvious that this small room is Shanin's residence.
Xia Xun smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the empress's sleeping place. I am really honored to live here."
Shan Ning stared at him fiercely with her big eyes and said, "Although I won't kill you now, but if you dare to be so glib again, believe it or not, I dare to cut your tongue?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "My dear, your eyes are already very big if you don't stare."
"snort!"
Shan Ning was so angry that his teeth itched, he rolled his sleeves and looked back: "Watch him closely, if he dares to escape, shoot him without mercy!"
Zeng Er loudly agreed, glared at Xia Xun coldly, and took off his pretending saber and bow and arrow. Xia Xun walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and saw Shan Ning still standing in the room.
Staring at his actions coldly, he said to her with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is your residence now. If your Majesty doesn't go back to the city, why do you have to stay here as a guest?"
Shan Ning snorted coldly, went out and got on her war horse, but instead of returning to the city immediately, she galloped towards the mountains. Only three soldiers accompanied her, and the others stayed behind. They were obviously Xia Xun's guards.
Xia Xun walked around the house twice with his hands behind his back. He wanted to go out again, but was stopped by Zeng Er with a pair of bull's eyes. Xia Xun stopped in a good temper and walked casually on the grass.
He sat down, basking in the warm sunshine, and smiled at Zeng Er, "Brother Zeng, it seems that you are not a Han Chinese?"
Zeng Er took off the saddle from the horse and put it on the ground. While stroking the horse's mane, he said: "Yes, you have some eyesight. I am from Duoyanwei. The young lady is marrying the prince. We, the close followers,
I came to the palace with the young lady."
Xia Xun said: "Oh, that's no wonder. It turned out to be the confidant of the empress. I heard that among the three guards of Taining, Fuyu and Duoyan, Duoyan's tribe is the weakest. The leader of your tribe married his girl to Ning.
Your Highness, as the concubine, also intends to use Prince Ning's power to support Duoyan Wei, is that right?"
Zeng Er's face suddenly turned red, he glared at Xia Xun, blushed and cursed loudly: "Fart! Fuyu Guard, Taining Guard, but there are more people in the tribe than our Duoyan Guard, and there are more cattle and horses than us.
In the past, there were occasional conflicts over the pasture water sources, but our Duoyanwei warriors never lost. How could we be weaker than them? The young lady married the prince because the prince liked her. Our leader and the prince are the best friends...
"
"It turns out that there are frequent conflicts between Fuyu, Taining and Duoyan. Sure enough, there are only eternal interests and no eternal friends." Xia Xun's eyes lit up and he said: "Is that so? Then... Liujiakou
What happened to guard Liu Kui?"
Zeng Er's face stiffened, and then he replied coldly: "Liu Kui was my young lady's playmate since she was a child. He used to live in our tribe, but... he is a commoner, and commoners are not allowed to marry nobles. Miss
Even though you like him, you can't break the rules and marry him. Xia, you'd better watch your tongue and stop talking nonsense, otherwise, I'm afraid your head will be lost together with your tongue."
As Zeng Er spoke, he led the horse away and went to drink and feed the horse.
Xia Xun smiled, covered his face with his general's hat, and lay down on the grass with his arms as a pillow, thinking in his mind: "Sha Ning, this woman, is both a loser and a loser to Prince Ning. With such a fierce personality,
I want to threaten her with her privacy and ask her to do things that are detrimental to Prince Ning's interests, but I'm afraid she won't agree.
Prince Ning is short-sighted and still holds on to a glimmer of hope for the imperial court and his good nephew. He cannot make up his mind until he is in a desperate situation. It is even more difficult to coerce him into raising an army. Fortunately...fortunately, brother, I still have a hand.
, I didn’t put all my hope in this fierce woman and the gentle Prince Ning, can I count myself as strategizing and winning the battle thousands of miles away?"
Zeng Er came back from drinking and saw Xia Xun with his legs crossed, not caring about his prisoner situation, humming a song happily: "I kiss you goodbye~~~ In the crazy night, my heart is waiting to welcome sadness
~~~"
Zeng Er spat, laughed and cursed: "This heartless thing! Why did King Yan send such a thing..."
