Original Song Jingang hurriedly walked into Liu Wuzhou's Dingyang Palace. This is a royal palace built by Liu Wuzhou in imitating the Fenyang Palace. Although it covers a large area, it is not well-built. Without excellent craftsmen, it cannot create a grand momentum, and there is no strong one.
The financial resources are not visible as the magnificence of the palace, and the construction is stopped after only half of it is built. It gives people the feeling that this palace is like a monkey wearing human clothes, which has always been Song Jingang's private evaluation of Liu Wuzhou.
All, all on May Day, I want to
Walking into the palace, I heard the miserable cry of a woman from afar. Song Jingang shook his head secretly. He knew that this was Liu Wuzhou's irritability again, and beat the woman to vent his anger. Although Liu Wuzhou was always good, he was reluctant to listen to the advice.
He was generous in winning over people, but he had a bad temper and used the palace servant to vent his anger if he was not satisfied.
However, it is no wonder that Liu Wuzhou was angry today. Liu Wuzhou gathered a large army to prepare for a decisive battle with Yang Yuanqing in Mayi. Unexpectedly, Yang Yuanqing sent troops to seize Fenyang Palace and Lishi County was also lost, which made Song Jingang secretly shocked.
In fact, in the eyes of Liu Wuzhou and Song King Kong, the military value of Fenyang Palace is not highly valued. Although it has certain military value, such as harassing the rear, destroying logistics transportation, etc., Taiyuan is not the rear of Liu Wuzhou, and Fenyang
The palace did not break the Chi Dao, it was still several miles away from the Chi Dao. It was precisely because of this that Liu Wuzhou did not send heavy troops to guard it, and Song Jingang did not take it too seriously.
But Fenyang Palace was really taken away. Liu Wuzhou and Song Jin suddenly realized that its influence had a huge impact on the entire morale of the army. Just as the enemy had already broken into the backyard, causing the morale of the army to shake. Fenyang Palace was lost to others
There is an illusion that their retreat has been cut off.
There were already many deserters in the army, which made Song Jingang really worried. He had already understood Yang Yuanqing's strategy and first destroyed the morale of Liu Wuzhou's army from the morale of the army to achieve the goal of defeating the army without fighting.
It has to be said that Yang Yuanqing stabbed Liu Wuzhou's weakest part with a sword. Most of Liu Wuzhou's army was formed in less than two or three months, and they forced males to join the army. The equipment and training were extremely backward, not to mention the morale was low.
.
Yang Yuanqing's strategy made Song Jingang extremely worried. He realized that they were not Yang Yuanqing's opponents, and that the initiative was already in Yang Yuanqing's hands, and they would lose sooner or later.
Three naked palace maids were hung on the tree in the yard. They were furious for discussing the affairs of the Fenyang Palace in private and beat them with a whip.
The delicate bodies of the three palace maids were covered with shocking whip marks, almost completely covered in skin. They were beaten to death and screamed in vain.
Liu Wuzhou held a whip soaked in oil in his hand, with his upper body naked, his chest and arms covered with thick hair. His eyes were red, like a crazy beast, and he vented his anger on these three innocent people.
The palace maid.
"The Palace of King Song is coming down!"
The guard reported. Song Jingang hurried into the yard. He obtained Liu Wuzhou's permission to enter and exit the palace without reporting.
Song Jingang looked at the three palace maids hanging on trees and couldn't help but shake his head. Liu Wuzhou was the dignified emperor of Dingyang, but he gave people the feeling that he had no emperor's aura at all. Even the punishment of several palace maids had to do it himself.
, still naked. He sighed in his heart, bowed and bowed and said, "See Your Majesty!"
Liu Wuzhou vented his anger halfway, threw away his whip, and walked towards the inner hall, "Come in and say!"
Song Jingang ordered the guards to release the palace maids and send them back to the palace. He followed Liu Wuzhou into the inner hall.
Liu Wuzhou had already worn a comfortable fine linen robe. He obtained a large number of emperor robes from Fenyang Palace, as well as countless luxury goods, including a golden ivory bed inlaid with gems in front of him.
Liu Wuzhou was lying on the couch, holding a golden wine bottle in his hand. He was squinting his eyes and slowly enjoying the best Italian rosie wine.
Liu Wuzhou was once a strong and brave soldier, but in the past six months, his extravagant life as an emperor has dropped rapidly. He beat the palace maid and felt a little tired.
"You are doing something about Fenyang Palace!" Liu Wuzhou asked impatiently. He didn't want to listen to this matter now.
Song Jingang shook his head, "I'll tell you another thing. There have been more than 4,000 deserters since last night."
"How could it be?" Liu Wuzhou stood up suddenly, his eyes widening.
"It's just that you don't want to hear about this. The fall of Fenyang Palace has a great impact on the morale of the army." Song Jingang sighed.
Liu Wuzhou sat down dejectedly. He drank the wine in the bottle, threw the wine aside, and grabbed it deeply into his hair with both hands, "How could this happen!" he shouted in pain.
Song Jingang stared at him for a while and said slowly: "We are really not his opponent, retreat south!"
"Transition south?"
Liu Wuzhou slowly raised his head and looked at Song Jingang in surprise. What does it mean?"
Song Jingang smiled bitterly, "I thought Yang Yuanqing really had only 30,000 troops. I thought, maybe we could still compete with him in concentrating our troops, but I didn't expect that his army would cross the river from Lishijun, more than 30,000.
The army, his intention was very obvious, to block us in Mayi County and annihilate them all. Your Majesty, Mayi County will definitely not be able to be saved. It is better to give up Mayi County, preserve its strength, retreat to the south of Taiyuan, and let Yang Yuanqing attack.
Taiyuan.”
"No!"
Liu Wuzhou roared like a wild beast, "I ran away before I fought. It was spread out and made the world laugh at me, Liu Wuzhou, no! I won't withdraw."
"But your Majesty, the first battle has been fought, we have lost. Yang Yuanqing occupied Fenyang Palace and seized Lishi County, which has seriously shaken the morale of the army. We have lost without fighting."
"I don't care!"
Liu Wuzhou was full of anger, "If you don't fight in a battle, let me escape with my tail between my legs. I, Liu Wuzhou, can't do it. I have an army of 200,000 and the other party has only 30,000. Why are you afraid of it?"
"But we can't afford to drag it down. The soldiers are constantly running away. More and more. There will be more than 10,000 tonight. How can Yang Yuanqing not know? He will not fight us. His strategy is very obvious. He just wants to give in without fighting.
Soldier, Your Majesty, we are very passive now!"
Liu Wuzhou paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He knew very well about his situation and had lost the support of the Turks. The Taiyuan City could not be captured. The wealthy families of Mayi, Yanmen and Loufan were not supported by him.
After escaping to Taiyuan City, he could no longer support the 200,000 troops, but Mayi County is his nest and his hometown. He was unwilling to give up like this. No matter what, he had more than twenty.
Wan Dajun is seven times more than Yang Yuanqing. If he doesn't fight a war, how can he know that he can't do it? If he can defeat Yang Yuanqing, then he will be stable.
Thinking of this, Liu Wuzhou finally made up his mind and said coldly: "Yang Yuanqing doesn't want to fight me, so he plays yin for me behind his back. I'll come to him to find him."
Shanyang City itself is not big, with a circumference of less than twenty miles, with a permanent population of more than 4,000 households and nearly 30,000. However, in order to create prosperity for the capital, Liu Wuzhou ordered Mayi County, Yanmen County and Loufan to be the first to be promoted.
All families above the county households moved to Shanyang City. The population of Shanyang City increased sharply, from more than 30,000 to more than 100,000. In addition, there were tens of thousands of garrisons in the city, which made the city extremely crowded and chaotic. Liu Wuzhou
The expansion of Shanyang City failed and could not solve this crowded and chaotic situation. All the houses were full, and many families could only live in tents. The city became stinky, messy, and full of complaints.
However, from today on, large-scale military mobilizations have occurred in Shanyang City. Tens of thousands of jing gangs stationed in the city have all left the city and gathered on a large scale outside the north city. Armed forces from all over the country have also come in a steady stream. Many ordinary people have realized that
, A big war is about to break out.
A long alley was also filled with tents. A middle-aged traveling doctor who was running around the world hurried between a narrow tent with a medicine box on his back, walking to the end of the alley, with a yard at the end.
He knocked on the door and opened. It was a young man. It was rare for young men to be seen in Shanyang County and even Mayi County.
"We came back so late, we thought you were arrested and used as a military doctor!" the young man joked in a low voice.
"Yes!" The middle-aged traveling doctor agreed vaguely, walked into the yard, and closed the door at any time.
"Why, have you got the exact information?" the young man asked.
"Go into the house and say!"
The middle-aged traveling doctor walked into the room. At this time, the room was full of people, with thirty or forty people, all of whom were strong young men.
This is an intelligence point where the Fengzhou army is located in Shanyang City. It was originally only three or four people, but ten days ago, Fengzhou army scouts kept sneaking into the city in various ways, making the hidden scouts in this yard reach forty.
The two of them were led by a scout captain named Luo Zhuo.
Everyone was gathering for dinner and discussing military information by the way. The large-scale mobilization of Liu Wuzhou's army made everyone alert. At this time, the middle-aged traveling doctor walked into the room. The middle-aged traveling doctor was surnamed Wu, and was a member of the Fengzhou army.
A famous military doctor, he obtained a lot of information in the name of practicing medicine.
Doctor Wu found a seat to sit down, put the medicine box down, and smiled at the captain Luo Zhuo and said, "I have obtained accurate information. Today I will treat Liu Wuzhou's assistant minister of the Ministry of War. He told me that this time Liu Wuzhou mobilized the army to go north and
The Fengzhou army fought to the decisive battle, and their deserters were too serious, so Liu Wuzhou could only take a gamble."
The captain Luo Zhuo nodded, and the other two also received the same information. The information obtained from the three channels was consistent, which means that the information was credible. He immediately took out a thin piece of silk and dipped it with sharpened goose feathers.
Mo wrote down the information on the thin silk, dried the ink traces, and then took out a thin red bamboo tube from his arms, folded the thin silk and stuffed it in. He handed the information to the Eagle slave and said:
"Send it back to Yulin City immediately!"
A quarter of an hour later, a goshawk flapped his wings and flew into the sky and flew towards Yulin City in the northwest. At the same time, Liu Wuzhou's army was quickly gathering. Three days later, Liu Wuzhou gathered 200,000 troops and claimed to be Pofeng.
The general appointed Song Jingang as the deputy commander and ordered the general Huang Ziying to lead 10,000 people to defend Shanyang City. He personally led a large army to fight towards Yulin City. Liu Wuzhou made a desperate bet and defeated Yang Yuanqing in one battle.
