Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty: Repaying Himself in His Way
"What are the Prime Minister worried about?" Yaldan looked at Azith and asked disrespectfully.
"Your Majesty, although Sima Ren's troops have suffered losses, they still maintain a force of more than 40,000 troops. These 40,000 people gathered in Yanjing City. If one is not properly handled, it will easily cause major events! At this time, Your Majesty sent them to the front line. What should I do if Sima Ren is dissatisfied?"
Yardan sneered: "Who is Sima Ren?"
Azith was dumbfounded, not knowing what Yardan meant.
"Sima Ren is the King of Zhong, one of the five kings of our Dayuan political affairs. At this time when Dayuan is in danger, why can't his troops go to the front line to fight for the country? Don't you see Prince Lin Ya still struggle to support the front line?
At a high position, you have to take on the responsibility you have to bear in this position.”
Han Zhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty said it right. Prince Bolu is back this time,
The burden is also very heavy. My Dayuan is almost in peace and war is needed in any place. Huocheng is in danger. The tactics that Yun Zhao now adopts must cooperate with infantry and cavalry to break the deadlock. Only King Zhong's troops can be dispatched to resolve this crisis."
"That's true, but Sima Ren is a villain!" Azis looked bitter, "This person is capricious and hard to trust. I'm afraid that he will go to the front line and not only will he not be able to help, but also will be bad!"
"Don't worry, sir!" Han Zhong said: "If this person is asked to go to Jiaozhou or Hezhou, it is really impossible to guarantee that this person colludes with Jiangnan, but sent him to Huocheng. In front of him, Yun Zhao's Northern Army, and behind him, I, the Iron Cavalry of the Dayuan Yanjing, besides fighting to the death, can he have other ways out?"
Yardan smiled and said, "Don't forget that although Sima Ren is capricious, he and Yun Zhao and the Northern Army have a great feud. Yun Zhao comes out
Yingbei Rock, Yingbei Rock Shen Feng died at Sima Rui's hands,
The head is different. The Lucheng Camp and the Sima family of the Northern Army were even more irreconcilable. The 20,000 soldiers of the Lucheng Camp were abandoned by Sima Ren and all died in Fengkou. The four generals of the Lucheng Camp were killed on the spot. Meng Yao and Ding Qiu saved their lives and returned. Even if Sima Ren wanted to surrender to the Northern Army, Yun Zhao agreed. Meng Yao and Ding Qiu agreed. I think Sima Ren understood this truth too!"
"What if he stayed in Yanjing City and didn't leave?" Azis asked another question.
"The national law has no
!" Yardan stood up and paced back and forth in the house for a few steps. "In Yanjing City, can he now turn the waves into pieces now? Within three days, Sima Ren led his troops to reinforce Huocheng. Ten days later, Bo Lu led his troops back to guard Jiaozhou and Hezhou."
"Send the order to Zhamuhe, get out of the li! Accelerate the reorganization of the tribe army. One month later, the army left Yanjing and entered the Fencing Pass.
Yun Zhao withdrew his troops!"
"As for order!" Azis and Han Zhong stood up and bowed
Receive the order.
Before walking to the map, Yardan stared at the boundary of the Yuan Dynasty. The thick black lines around him represented the current power of the Northern Expedition Army. The Northern Expedition Army was actually faintly surrounded. If the Yuan wanted to expand outward, the first step was to defeat the Northern Expedition Army.
Yaldan sighed, how easy it is!
"Your Majesty!" Han Zhong came over, "We need to pay attention to another place." His fingers were heavily placed on a small black dot on the map.
"Yumen Pass!"
Looking at Yardan, "Our army now has an advantage in number, but there are not many that can be used for a while. From now on, there are two areas controlled by the Northern Expedition Army that can pass directly outside the pass, one is Yumen Pass and the other is Bayankala Valley."
"I won't talk about him in the Bayankala Valley for the time being. The terrain is steep and it is not beneficial to us. After we occupied Anqing, we controlled the stone fort and seized control of this valley. The Northern Army had to worry about us passing through this valley to attack them. But Yumen Pass is different. This is the life and death line connecting Yanjing and the desert. Now the main grain-producing area Anqing also transports grain to Yanjing through here. If Yun Zhao takes action here, once Yumen Pass is lost, Yanjing will be in danger!"
Yardan browed tightly. Obviously, she didn't expect this problem. "Yumen Pass is extremely steep. We have 5,000 troops stationed there, and the main battle camps of the Northern Expedition Army are now on the front line of Huocheng, so Yumen Pass should be fine."
"I just raised this possibility. I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to make the guards of Yumen Pass be more vigilant. You must be careful. Yumen Pass must not be lost. Once something happens to Yumen Pass, we will only have a passage at Yazikou. But the terrain there is also clear that the troops can barely pass, but a large amount of food and supplies will become a problem. More importantly, Yazikou is not as easy to guard!" Han Zhong said.
"The King of Yi is right. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but he is afraid of anything. Yun Zhao has always been surprised by his troops. Shu Chi!"
"Your Majesty!" At the entrance of the study room, Shu Chi took a step forward.
"Immediately send a command to Yumen Pass, and I must strengthen my vigilance."
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Turning his head, Yaerdan looked at Han Zhong, "King Yi, the guardian of Yumen Pass is Meng's general, and he is not good at defending the city. King Yi has the right manpower."
"Let your child Han Hai go!" Han Zhong thought for a moment.
"Azis, immediately draft an imperial edict and order Han Hai to be the commander of Yumen Pass, and the commander of Yumen Pass and the soldiers below will be subject to Han Hai's command.
Those who violate the Yang Dynasty and do not obey orders will be killed without mercy!”
"Yes, your Majesty!"
"King Yi, you just talked about the Bayankara Valley." Yardan's eyes turned and he looked at the high ground on the map.
"Your Majesty wants to launch a military force from here," Han Zhong asked.
"Yes, the first step in Yun Zhao's capture of Yizhou was to lurk from here and use his own way to cure others.
, We marched from Bayankala Valley. If we can unexpectedly take down the Phoenix Mountain Fortress and leave the mountain pass, we will directly attack Yun Zhao's nest, Yulin and the five western counties, and even directly attack Yizhou City, which is unknown. Even if they are completely destroyed in Yizhou, it will at least force Yun Zhao to draw troops back to Yizhou to fight." Yardan said excitedly.
"Your Majesty has great opinions, but the key to this battle is whether the Phoenix Mountain Fortress can be captured"
"The Northern Army is attacking us in a large-scale manner. I am afraid that we will never dream of taking out a soldier and risking to cross the Bayankala Mountains. Whether it is success or failure, it is a chance, right?"
Azis and Han Zhong withdrew from Yaerdan's study. In fact, the meaning of summoning two people today is one. Sima Ren's 40,000 to 50,000 troops must be taken down, or pushed to the battlefield to consume naturally, or accepted reorganization. However, Sima Ren was obviously not as conscious as Han Zhong, and did not see clearly that after Yaerdan came to power, a series of measures were all about eliminating personal armed forces. Maybe he knew it, but he was not willing to do so.
I hope, so Huo Cheng naturally had to go. After the military conjunction with the North, Sima Ren's strength would be greatly reduced, and it would be much easier to reorganize it at that time.
Turning his head to look at the concentric knot on the wall, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yaldan's mouth, "Yun Zhao, I will defeat you, and I will definitely capture you alive, you can't escape my palm. You are mine!"
Just as Han Hai was carrying the imperial edict of Yaerdan and taking a personal guard out of Yanjing and heading straight to Yumen Pass, Shi Gandang and Wan Shichang's eighth battalion had already arrived secretly.
Lying in the dense forest and looking at the majestic city embedded between the two mountains, Wan Shichang took a breath, "Old Shi, this Yumen Pass is not easy to get through!"
Shi Ganden nodded, "What is outside the pass? It means going out of Yumen Pass. When Dayue had not occupied the land outside the Yumen Pass and had not built Lucheng. When Anqing border town, Yumen Pass was the largest fortress to block the Mongolian army. You said that it would not be able to be solid. Before Dayue, Yumen Pass was the first line of defense. But later Dayue built Lucheng, Anqing, and established Xiangshan Prefecture and Yumen Pass.
It's down."
"You have been a guardian at Yumen Pass for many years. You should know the truth and reality of Yumen Pass very clearly. You said, what should we do?" Wan Shichang looked at Shi Gandang, "I can only hold a knife to cut people. Planning is not my specialty."
Shi Gandang smiled and said, "Yumen Pass is guarding against people, so he is extremely high and dangerous to the wall outside the pass. All kinds of fortresses, towers, and city blocks are available. There is really no hope for fighting from the outside to the inside. But now we are fighting from the inside to the outside, and the difficulty is reduced accordingly. Have you seen that the enemy camps on both sides of the outside of the pass. Obviously, the opponent also knows this, so some troops are stationed outside the pass."
"If you want to attack the city directly, you have to eat the troops outside the pass first." Wan Shichang said.
Shi Gandang nodded. "Eat the troops outside the pass,
It became a small part of it. Yumen Pass is a big fortress. When I was stationed there, I had tens of thousands of troops in my hand. Now we have already found out that the Meng people only stationed 5,000 people here, and it is mainly cavalry. If there is not enough number, it is easy to reveal flaws. In addition, you know the level of Meng people defending the city."
Wan Shichang couldn't help laughing, "Their skills in defending the city are indeed
Bad!"
"Although that's the case, we will probably have to pay a considerable price in this battle!" Shi Gandang stood up straight
"Let's go back!"
One day later, late at night, no moon.
Wan Shichang led thousands of infantrymen through the forest. Everyone had a wooden stick in their mouths and marched not far from the garrison outside Yumen Pass. Seeing the lights in the distance, Wan Shichang spit out the wooden stick in his mouth and gently pulled out his sword, "Attack!"
Thousands of soldiers were divided into dozens of long snake-like teams, and they approached each other's camp like ghostly.
Wan Shichang walked in the front team with a big knife in his hand. And in him
Chapter completed!
