Just two days after Wei Zheng was transferred back to Liangzhou, the news that more than 400000 Ningjun led by Ming Xiaotian was completely destroyed was sent back to Ningdu. This news not only made the court of Ningguo in an uproar, but also shocked the whole country and made everyone in danger.
The loss of the 400000 Ningjun troops who invaded Fengguo with no match or invincible war, and the 500000 people killed in Hedong this time, reduced the number of young people in Ningguo, which is difficult to recover in 10 or even 20 years.
Hearing this, Yan Chu was shocked, indignant and angry. Wei Zheng was in Hedong. Although he could not defeat the Fengjun army, he could at least draw with him, so that he would not be destroyed. However, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said that Wei Zheng was conservative and did not dare to fight the Fengjun army, which made the war in Hedong unprofitable. Company commander sun Yuanhong also said that any general could replace Wei Zheng. What was the result As a result, more than 400000 Ningjun generals and soldiers were burned to pieces by the Feng army.
At this time, Yan Chu hated the man Dynasty's civil and military forces, and even more hated Chang sun Yuanhong. However, he did not dare to show his attitude. Now there are no elite teachers in Liangzhou, and only 200000 recruits are left. The only hope of resisting the Feng army is Chang sun Yuanhong and his 300000 troops.
Ming Xiaotian lost so miserably and so quickly. In fact, it was quite beyond the expectation of his eldest grandson Yuanhong. He knew that mingxiaotian had said that in fact, he had the name of the superior general, but he underestimated the Feng army. He thought that even if Ming Xiaotian could not defeat the Feng army, he should rely on the 400000 people under his command to resist the wind army for a month, and then he would lead the army to arrive I didn't expect that Wei Zhengcai had just been transferred, and Ming Xiaotian buried himself and hundreds of thousands of troops.
Sun Yuanhong regretted the death of so many soldiers because of his own personal hatred. He was also full of guilt towards Yan Chu, and vowed in his heart that he would avenge the soldiers of Ningguo who died in the war.
The central army of Ningguo, which had reinforced Hedong, had lost all its strength. The wind force had no more worries and divided its forces into two routes, and occupied the South China Sea and the second city of Jianxing in one fell swoop. At this point, Ningguo had no foundation in Hedong, and the whole Hedong area had basically fallen into the hands of Fengguo.
While the Fengjun was busy taking over the towns in Hedong, the 300000 ningyue allied forces headed by Chang sun Yuanhong arrived in Liangzhou. Although Yan Chu secretly hated sun Yuanhong, he still gave him a very high courtesy. He personally led the civil and military affairs of the imperial court and went out of the city to meet him.
On the night when sun Yuanhong entered the capital, he was summoned by Yan Chu alone.
However, without waiting for sun Yuanhong to enter the palace, Zhang Zhihong, the prime minister on the right side, came first. After all, Zhang Zhihong was the first one to propose to remove Wei Zheng from his post. Zhang Zhihong was afraid that Yan Chu would hate himself for this, so he went to the palace to see Yan Chu to clear the relationship. In front of Yan Chu, he put his opposition to Wei Zheng as commander-in-chief to Chang sun Yuanhong, saying that he was inspired by Chang sun Yuan Hong, and that Chang sun Yuan Hong's purpose was to fear that Wei Zheng's military power was too heavy, which would pose a threat to his return to the imperial court, so he took advantage of Wei Zheng's fear of going to war to seize his military power.
Yan Chu is not a fool. How can he be deceived by his words? Chang sun Yuanhong and Zhang Zhihong have never been in contact with each other. How could he suddenly encourage him to impeach Wei Zheng in private? It's just bullshit. However, through Zhang Zhihong's planting and framing, Yan Chu really had to reconsider a question. What was the purpose of the eldest sun Yuanhong's opposition to Wei Zheng as commander-in-chief?
With sun Yuanhong's mind, it is impossible to see that Wei Zheng's ability is far better than that of Ming Xiaotian. But why did he agree to let Ming Xiaotian replace Wei Zheng? Is it really like Zhang Zhihong said that Chang sun Yuanhong was afraid of Wei Zheng's military power and that Wei Zheng would become an obstacle for him to monopolize the military power of the whole country?
Between the monarch and the minister, it is essential that both sides trust each other. Tang Yin is willing to let Ziying carry the black pot for himself. That's because he believes that Ziying can understand his own hardship, and Ziying is willing to accept it. That is a manifestation of his complete trust in Tang Yin. However, there is a lack of trust between Yanchu and Changshun Yuanhong. In addition, the defeat of Hedong makes Yanchu suspicious of Changshun Yuanhong.
In Yan Chu's opinion, it is a serious problem for the country to form parties and seek private interests. If Chang sun Yuanhong deliberately framed Wei Zheng for the sake of military power, he would be punished.
Soon after Zhang Zhihong was sent away, Chang sun Yuanhong arrived. In the study of the Imperial Palace, Yan Chu asked his eldest grandson Yuanhong to sit down and chat with him for a few words. He asked, "general Yuanhong, how many% of the eastern expedition is sure to defeat the Feng army and recover the lost territory in Hedong?"
Without even thinking about it, Chang sun Yuanhong replied, "there will be 80% chance of winning at the end of this war!"
"Oh?" Yan Chu was shocked. On the surface, he still kept quiet. He said with a smile, "general Wei led 500000 people, but he was beaten by the wind forces and dare not go out of the camp to meet them. The general of Ming Dynasty led more than 400000 people, and was defeated by the wind forces. Now general Yuanhong has only 300000 troops. How can he have such a high chance of winning
With a proud smile, Chang sun Yuanhong bowed his hand and said, "king, although there are not many troops in the hands of the last general, they are all brave and good at fighting. They can have a top ten elite general, 200000 Western armies, both long-range attack and close combat, and 100000 Yue cavalry. They can cross the battlefield without any competition. Let alone the wind force of 300000, even if there are millions, the last general is confident to kill him !”
His main purpose was to reassure Yan Chu and not to worry about the war in Hedong. This is also a sign of shame in his heart.However, Yan Chu's words changed completely. The latter couldn't help but take a breath from his mouth. With only 300000 troops under his command, Chang sun Yuanhong had the confidence to defeat a million wind troops. If he suddenly turned his spearhead to deal with himself one day, wouldn't he be in danger? Who else in Ningguo can stop him?
I think so, but Yan Chu's face doesn't show any trace. He nodded with a smile and exclaimed, "general Yuanhong is worthy of being the first strong general of Daning. This battle to recover the lost territory in Hedong is up to general Yuanhong!"
Chang sun Yuanhong stood up in a hurry, saluted Yan Chu deeply, and said, "the king killed the last general! It is the duty of the last general to drive away thieves for the country! "
Sun Yuanhong is very proud of his personality, but he is not so proud of himself. He pondered for a moment and said, "if general Yuanhong is to resist the enemy alone, I still feel a little worried about it! How about another vice general for the general? "
Long sun Yuanhong frowned. After commanding the Western army for so long, can he still use his deputy? He asked suspiciously, "who is the king going to send?"
Yan Chu said word by word: "Wei Zheng."
"This" at this time, hearing the name of Wei Zheng, Chang sun Yuanhong couldn't tell what it was like. He hated it and apologized for it. He murmured and didn't answer immediately.
"What?" Yan Chushi asked with a smile: "general Yuanhong thinks that general Wei is not competent and is not qualified to be the general's deputy general?"
When he said this, he did not give Chang sun Yuanhong room to maneuver. The latter, trembling in his heart, quickly stepped in to salute him and said, "no, no, no! At the end of the day, I will not do so. I will obey the king's instructions! "
"Yes After seeing sun Yuanhong's approval, Yan Chu nodded with satisfaction. Wei Zhengan was inserted into the Western army and placed beside him. He felt more or less at ease.
This separate meeting between the monarch and the minister did not eliminate the separation between them, but made the suspicion further deepen and aggravate. Yan Chu didn't trust changsun Yuanhong. He felt that he had the intention of monopolizing the military power of the whole country, but now he had to put him in important position. Therefore, Wei Zheng had to be sent into the Western army to disperse Chang sun Yuanhong's military power. However, their temperament and fighting style were completely different. One was radical and the other was calm and conservative. It was no problem for them to lead the army alone, but hard Together, there will be differences and endless hidden dangers, not to mention the unspeakable resentment between them.
Long sun Yuanhong stayed in Liangzhou, the capital city, for only two days. Then he unified his troops and went straight to Hedong. Naturally, Wei Zheng, appointed by Yan Chu, accompanied him.
Although the scale of the 300000 ningyue allied forces was not as large and unprecedented as that of the last 500000 people, they were under the command of sun Yuanhong, the first powerful general of Ningguo, and their morale was as high as ever. All the places they crossed were welcomed by the local people. From this, we can see the status of changsun Yuanhong in the minds of Ningren.
Three hundred thousand troops came straight to Hedong. Naturally, they could not hide the eyes and ears of Tianyan and the earth net. The wind army spies sent the news back to Hedong at the first time.
After receiving the report, Tang Yin just gave a long smile and said as if nothing had happened: "changsun Yuanhong has come after all. I just want to know what is the power of Chang sun Yuanhong, who is known as the first fierce general of Ningguo." Although his words are easy, his nerves are beginning to strain.
Tang Yin has learned the skill of invincible battle for a long time. However, LianZhan's spirit and martial arts are all under Chang sun Yuanhong's command. Now that Shangguan yuan has been seriously injured, it is still unknown whether anyone on his side can defeat sun Yuanhong. What makes Tang Yin headache is Nanhai and Jianxing.
These two cities are located in the west of Hedong. Naturally, they are the first targets of the enemy's attack after they arrive. Now our army is stationed in two cities and their forces are scattered. If Ningjun forces attack one of them forcefully, it is a question whether they can hold on to them. If he wanted to be safe, he had to give up a city and concentrate his forces to hold on to one place. However, Tang Yin was not willing to give up the city which he had not easily defeated to the enemy.
Xiao MuQing and other generals have the same idea as Tang Yin. Everyone thinks that sticking to the two cities is not impossible. There is only a three-day journey between the South China Sea and Jianxing. As long as the city attacked by the Ning army can hold on for three days, our reinforcements can come from another city. At that time, Ning army, who is attacked by the two armies inside and outside, will have a great chance of winning.
Tang Yin felt that his generals were right, so he accepted them immediately. Instead of dividing the two cities, he only strengthened the city defense of the two cities and prepared them for a tough battle with the Ning army. However, to the great surprise of Tang Yin, the 300000 army under the command of changsun Yuanhong did not attack the South China Sea nor attack Jianxing.
