Chapter 2747： Wu Yan the incompetent

In fact, speaking of it, although some of the ministers of the Great Lu Dynasty doubted the cause of the death of the first emperor, not many people would doubt Wu Guifei and Wu Yan, because these two were the most important people when the first emperor was alive. Two people who trust.

The first emperor had deliberately appointed Concubine Wu as the queen when he was alive. The ministers all knew this. This shows that the first emperor's favor for her, and once the concubine Wu became a queen, then her son would naturally be the prince, Wu. The imperial concubine is the most favored in the harem and has great power to speak. Although the first emperor has not had time to establish her as the queen, her rights and status are no different from the queen. In the entire harem, the former princess Qi can Contending with her, after Princess Qi married Feng Jueguo, she became the lord of the entire harem.

It is precisely because of this that after the death of the first emperor, the accession of the eleven princes was not greatly hindered. Of course, there is a more important reason for this. That is, Wu Yan is now the official secretary and concurrently the official secretary of the Ministry of War. Great, even when the first emperor was there, it was one person under ten thousand people. Now that the first emperor is dead, he is the most powerful person in the entire Dalu dynasty, and he will obviously support his nephew ascending the throne. In this way, although the first emperor had a lot of princes, the eleventh princes received the greatest support, even though he was only two years old.

It stands to reason that if Wu Guifei and Wu Yan were so favored by the first emperor, it is impossible to harm the first emperor. Other Dalu dynasties also thought so. Therefore, no one doubted Wu Yan and Wu Guifei at all. .

However, the fact is that the first emperor was indeed killed by the two men conspired to kill, and all this starts with Wu Yan being responsible for suppressing the insurgents.

Because of the trust of the first emperor, while Wu Yan served as the official secretary, he also served as the official secretary of the Ministry of War. This made Wu Yan above the court, even more powerful and unmatched, and Wu Yan always wanted to get involved in the army. So, for this opportunity, he will naturally not let go, and he also wants to suppress the forces of the insurgents, so that he can get his temporary military department official.

However, Wu Yan is a good official, or even an old fox. He has no disadvantages in the officialdom. However, he knows nothing about the military. After he became the Minister of War, he immediately grasped the military power and regarded himself very high. I did not follow the suggestions of the generals below, and made all decisions by myself. I just wanted to prove to the generals and the first emperor that I was not only a civil officer, but also a military commander, and he was not the same. As outsiders say, they don’t know anything about the military.

However, it is precisely because of his blind self-confidence and his eagerness to prove his mind that caused him to lose on the battlefield.

Originally, although the imperial army could not beat Feng Jueguo's elite, it was not difficult to suppress the rebels. After all, the soldiers of the rebels were mostly peasants before, and they had not experienced much. Training is on the battlefield. Moreover, most of the insurgent forces are seriously lacking in weapons and equipment. Therefore, it is not difficult for the imperial army to defeat them. Wu Yan himself thinks so, so he I was confident that I would be able to defeat the rebel forces without listening to the opinions of other generals.

However, in fact, his incompetence coupled with Wang Cheng, a man who is proficient in the military, has a large number of men, and has just obtained a lot of supplies, the defeat is completely predictable. Wang Cheng just arranged a simple Tactics, showing the enemy's weakness and enticing the enemy to deepen, Wu Yan really thought that he was capable of commanding the army, and regardless of the obstacles of his generals, he decided to "take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack", and Wang Cheng's ambush was in the end.

After being in an ambush, if Wu Yan can calm down and organize a breakout of the team, the result will not be too miserable. After all, although Wang Cheng has obtained some supplies, he himself is also very experienced in commanding battles, but Most of the soldiers under him are farmers who have not experienced training. They are fine to fight downwind. Once the battle is deadlocked, they will easily collapse.

However, Wu Yan did not discover this, nor was he able to use it. After discovering that he was in an ambush, he was completely panicked. He had no masters. In addition to being able to show his courage, he had always been The one who followed the team to rush forward was to express himself in front of other ministers and the first emperor. After this, he entered the encirclement of Wang Cheng.

Because of this, after realizing that he was surrounded, what Wu Yan did was not to calm down and command the army, but to let people protect himself and prepare to escape. As for commanding the army, he had completely lost his mind at this time.

Without the command of the main general, although the generals below are struggling to save, then, there is not much effect. The courage of the main general's army, the main will panic himself, how do you let the soldiers below fight? ?

In addition, those generals can only command their own subordinates, and have no right to command other teams. In this way, the teams will not have the slightest cooperation at all and fight each other separately, and often because of The chaos caused one's own people to mess around.

As a battle-tested veteran, Wang Cheng would naturally not miss this opportunity. He personally took the most elite group of his men and launched a fierce attack against the army of the Lu Dynasty. The opponent was chaotic. The line of defense that had been eroded was completely defeated.

The characteristic of the soldiers of the uprising army was that they could not fight against the wind, but when they fought the downwind, they fought more and more fiercely. Now, the army of the Dalu dynasty is completely suppressed. The soldiers under Wang Cheng, It also broke out completely, getting more and more fierce, completely gaining the upper hand.

This battle lasted for two days and one night. The rebel forces headed by the king won the final victory. Moreover, it was a big victory. After this battle, Wang Cheng not only captured 60,000 to 70,000 people of the imperial army, but also It is the seizure of a large amount of food, weapons and equipment, etc.

You know, at this time, Wu Yan is one person in the Dalu dynasty, with less than 10,000 people. He led the soldiers in the war. Naturally, the people in the dynasty did not dare to deduct food, weapons and materials, as long as he wanted to. All of these things were quickly prepared, but now these things are all cheaper than Wang Cheng’s rebels.

After this battle, Wang Cheng famously moved the entire Dalu dynasty, and the entire power and strength had been greatly improved.
