Chapter 1280 The upcoming battle of Changjiang
In the 29th year of Longjing, the Wei-Liang alliance attacked Dakang, and the Wei army attacked Huaizhou. At the beginning, it was overwhelming and almost occupied the entire Huaizhou.
Guan Ning, who has not yet officially inherited the throne and is just a pawn, comes to the battlefield.
This is also where Guan Ning’s road to fame began!
He only led a thousand people to use various strategies and took the opportunity to gather the remaining people to expand his troops, causing great damage to the Wei army.
However, he was cunning and could not avoid fighting during the war. Song Cheng, who was the supervisor of the Wei State at that time, threatened Guan Ning to fight and massacre the city.
The city that was to be massacred at that time was Anseong!
Guan Ning came as scheduled, and just outside Ancheng, he defeated the Wei army in a head-on battle, and beheaded General Ji Hu from his horse!
That battle was the battle where Guan Ning became famous!
In the end, Song Zhong committed suicide and the Wei army was destroyed.
From that time on, the Wei army showed signs of defeat and the battle against Kang ended hastily.
It can be said that if it were not for Guan Ning, it is still unclear what the outcome of that great crisis would be. Guan Ning changed history...
Since then, Wei Jun has never set foot on this land again.
"Today, we are here again!"
Before arriving in Ancheng, Ji Chuan, Emperor Jianwu of Wei Jun, recalled this period of history and murmured softly.
He was still a prince at that time, and he vaguely remembered his father's appearance when he received the news of the defeat.
"I originally thought that after Dakang lost Guan Zhongshan, the king of Zhenbei, there would be no one who could lead the army and fight well, but I didn't expect that his son Guan Ning would be no worse than his father. This son is actually our great enemy of Wei!"
Father's words vaguely echoed in his ears, and his words came true.
Guan Ning is indeed the great enemy of Wei.
A few years later, he even rebelled, seized the throne, and established a new dynasty to oppress the Wei state several times...
At that time, Himekawa remembered this Anjo, so he was filled with emotion at this moment.
Fan Huazang, the commander-in-chief of Wei State, knew his Majesty's thoughts well and said: "Years ago, Lord Song committed suicide here."
The Lord Song he was talking about was Song Cheng.
Song Cheng was also a member of the Song family and the cousin of Song Taiping, the Prime Minister of the State of Wei.
"Master Song was highly valued by the late emperor. Before he committed suicide, he left a personal letter and sent it back to Wangjing. The letter stated that Guan Ning must be eradicated... who is now Emperor Yuanwu."
"What the late emperor failed to do will be done by me!"
Himekawa said: "Aren't we here again now?"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, here we come again!"
"Enter the city!"
Himekawa gave an order.
The Wei army slowly entered the city and temporarily stationed there. Ancheng was not a big city, but it was located on an important road and was a battleground.
The city was quite deserted. All the shops seen along the way were closed, and there were very few people around. It was not because the enemy troops entered the city and stayed behind closed doors, but because the people of Ancheng had already been moved away!
"This is a ghost town!"
Fan Huazang said: "There is no one in the city and there is not a grain of food. It seems that Daning has been prepared for it. If we evacuate in a hurry, it will not be so clean."
"Emperor Yuanwu can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous king."
Himekawa said calmly.
When war comes, who will care about the lives of these civilians?
But when they attacked, few Daning people were seen, which shows that Daning had begun arranging for the evacuation and resettlement of the people very early.
"Don't Liang Guo have many spies in Daning?"
Ji Chuan said: "We must find out where Daning has placed these people?"
"From this we can also know where Daning's bottom line is for giving in!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Fan Huazang said: "At this point in the war, we can feel that Daning has not tried its best. Should we defend or should we fight?"
"It's obviously intentional, but overall we still have the advantage."
"Da Ning can't afford it."
Ji Chuan said coldly: "So our previous strategy was correct. Don't have any scruples. We just have to fight hard with him. Daning is naturally afraid."
"Where can I retreat to?"
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Fan Huazang found that His Majesty's performance in this war was very good, which simply surprised him.
"Is it an accident?"
Himekawa seemed to know what he was thinking.
"Do you feel that I have never really been exposed to war, and what happened is beyond your expectations?"
Fan Huazang didn't say anything. He didn't dare to admit it, but it was also a kind of acquiescence.
"I have summarized all the battles fought by Emperor Yuanwu in detail. I have read them many times. Do you understand?"
"You are..."
"Yes, I learned from Emperor Yuanwu."
Himekawa said in a low voice: "They say that I imitate Yuanwu's new policies and that I learn from Guan Ning in everything. This is absolutely true."
"If you want to defeat this enemy, you must understand him well!"
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Fan Huazang had nothing else to say except sighing.
Your Majesty actually made great efforts to study the war experience of Emperor Yuanwu.
This is certainly valuable.
Emperor Yuanwu was recognized as the military god in the world.
Military God means to use soldiers like a god!
"It's a pity that the self-righteous Zhu Zhen doesn't understand the truth. He may learn it, but he will definitely not go as far as I did. He is still trapped in Beilin Province and has suffered heavy losses in his troops."
The two chatted while walking, and when Himekawa arrived in the city, they had already made arrangements at the government office.
The army will rest in Anjo for a few days, and Himekawa summons the generals to make important arrangements.
Everyone sat down.
Himekawa said: "I want to leave temporarily and go to Shangshui County. According to the intelligence sent, the war there is about to begin!"
Everyone was slightly startled.
They all know what His Majesty is talking about.
Shangshui County is to the south of Changjiang River, and now there are 600,000 troops there, and a battle across the river is about to be launched!
It was mid-April, and the water level of the Changjiang River was rising, making it the time to attack.
This battle is crucial. It can directly attack the important southern town of Daning. It can even be said to be the battle that determines the outcome, and it is a battle that will definitely win!
Daning did not have the strength to cope with it, nor was it able to cope with it.
Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Zhu Wen has already gone, so naturally His Majesty will go too.
"After I leave, the military affairs will be commanded by General Fan Huazang. You can just attack normally and don't worry about moving forward!"
Everyone listened carefully.
Himekawa said proudly: "We will meet in the south of Daning when the battle across the river is completed."
Everyone laughed.
At this time, someone said: "We, the Wei army, advanced rapidly and attacked with great success, but the Liang army made no progress."
The chatterbox opened and aroused a chorus of agreement.
"I heard that Liang Jun was trapped in Wuyou City for nearly a month. Liang Jun has nearly one million troops in Beilin Province. I wonder what he did for such a long time?"
"What a waste!"
"If Liang Jun can reach Yuanzhou at this time, he can advance hand in hand with us, and the capture of Daning will be just around the corner!"
"It's abominable to waste so much of our country's supplies without achieving even half a cent of our achievements!"
All the Wei generals cursed.
This dissatisfaction has been going on for a long time. Everyone has a comparison, let alone between the two armies.
"alright!"
Himekawa stopped him directly.
Chapter completed!
