Wuzhou City, which won the first battle, swept away the haze of the past few days. The people who usually stay behind closed doors have also shown their heads. On the market, some shops have also opened. The Shuoxi Army is now in the eyes of Wuzhou people. It was like a guardian god, and many people who had fled from the disaster returned to the city after hearing the news.
In the Xiying deliberation account, Yu Qi smiled and said, "This time we killed 20,000 horses, and only 30,000 were left. We didn't dare to stay in the original camp, but fled towards Fengzhou. For now , We are no longer threatened, those who need to train soldiers, those who need to repair the city walls, in two days, the supply of Mengzhou will also arrive, in short, everyone can relax a little bit these days."
Yan Chi's night attack strategy was surprisingly successful, and Yang Jia sat at the bottom with a happy smile on his face all the time.
He also heard from Yu Qidao, "The spies came to report that the fighting in Fengzhou has been tense these days. The Rong and barbarian forces still want to take Fengzhou City early, but they won't let Wuzhou go. On the contrary, it is Chongzhou. It's still safe there, although His Highness didn't say anything, but this time the Shuoxi Army went north to wipe out the enemy, not just to save Wuzhou for a while, so we have to wait for His Highness to show us what to do next. Take a break, but don't sit back and relax completely."
Everyone said yes after hearing this, Yang Jia said, "It's been a day, Your Highness has returned to the Yamen, why hasn't he come?"
Having said that, Yu Qi and the others who had been with Yan for a long time all laughed happily, and Yu Qi coughed lightly, "Is General Yang married?"
Yang Jia is already in his thirties this year, so naturally he has already married a wife, "I have married a wife! But I am from Yuzhou, and my wife and daughter are all in my hometown in Yuzhou."
Yu Qi smiled and said, "Then General Yang should understand..."
Yang Jia rolled his eyes, thinking that Qin Wan was in Wuzhou City right now, he immediately realized it!
"Ah, I understand, the friendship between His Highness and the princess is very strong, everyone understands haha..."
All of a sudden everyone in the hall laughed, and naturally they all knew why Yan Chi had stayed in the Yamen for a long time and hadn't come here. Hearing this, Gu Ling couldn't laugh with everyone for some reason. , The whole army, those who are in charge of receiving and treating the wounded go to the wounded barracks. When Yu Qi assigns work, Gu Ling said, "I'd better go to the wounded barracks. I didn't fight yesterday, so you can all rest."
When the army came back, the work of the wounded barracks was the most tiring. Even the chief general had to keep an eye on the injuries of the soldiers. Yu Qiyi couldn't help laughing, "What a good brother! Your Highness left you in the first battle." I feel that only you can be relied on, and after that, your contribution will naturally be indispensable, and today I will be tired of you."
Gu Ling twitched the corners of his lips, "You still need to talk about it, go and rest."
Speaking of Gu Ling leaving the tent, he went to the wounded barracks without mentioning it.
Here, Yan Chi and Qin Wan had been arguing in the inner room for a while, Yan Chi didn't think about it, but Qin Wan insisted on pulling him up to have a meal, and when the lunch was over, Yan Chi asked Bai Feng to go to Xiying again, Knowing that Gu Ling was in the president, he felt relieved, so he just stayed with Qin Wan in the yamen.
Although he was not injured, Yan Chi still had a few minor scratches and bloodshot wounds, which were not serious. Normally, Yan Chi would not have dealt with them at all, and he would just let him get the scars, but now Qin Wan is If you don't want to, you have to take medicine for Yan Chi.
With someone taking care of him, Yan Chi was naturally happy and at ease, and joked, "No matter how big a scar I had on my body before, it didn't hurt, but now I feel that my rough skin is precious."
Qin Wan snorted, and said again, "How to deploy next? Do you want to chase?"
It was already dusk at this time, and the spies had already reported Rongman's retreat. Yan Chi narrowed his eyes and said, "Rongman naturally went to Fengzhou to join the army. Now that we are here, I'm afraid they won't come easily. Either send heavy troops, or focus on Fengzhou, the best way, of course, is to seize the opportunity to chase Fengzhou, and then attack back and forth with Fengzhou's soldiers and horses, but now we are rebels."
Qin Wan heard the words, "The Marquis of Anyang is leading the army in Fengzhou, he probably thinks the same as you."
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "Be safe and don't be impatient, we'll talk about it when the supplies from Mengzhou arrive."
…
…
Although the Rong and Man are fierce and good at fighting, they are not good at siege warfare. Because there are few cities among the Rong and Man tribes, if they encounter a closed city, they will be helpless for a while. Yue Qiong from Fengzhou is Using such a method, Yue Qiong didn't make too many deployments when he learned that nearly 200,000 people were coming towards Fengzhou. He just prepared enough war supplies in the city. Casualties worn out a small part of Rongman's troops.
After attacking like this for two days, the Rongman saw that Fengzhou was difficult to attack, so they sent 50,000 troops to Wuzhou. The barbarians were in the north, but the Rong people were in the west. They plundered in the west of Dazhou during their time, and what they cared about most was The land in the west, of course, wants to take Wuzhou this time.
I thought that Wuzhou was unmanned, so it would be easy to win, but I didn't expect that Yang Jia and others made up their minds to defend it. In addition, Yan Chi came halfway, and the 50,000 people returned home. The news spread. In Fengzhou City, Yue Qiong was overjoyed.
"I really didn't expect it! At this time, Prince Rui actually led his troops to the north. If it wasn't for them, Wuzhou City would have been slaughtered by now!"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yue Qiong was very emotional, and Yan Qi said, "Master Hou, don't forget that Yan Chi is a traitor. When he arrived in Wuzhou, he was probably trying to occupy Wuzhou by defending the city. Wuzhou City, Lord Hou still doesn't want to be as good as he thinks."
The smile on Yue Qiong's face faded when he heard the words, "Oh? Then His Royal Highness Cheng Wang means that you can lead troops to help Wuzhou?"
Yan Qi's face darkened when he heard the words, and he was speechless for a while, he is the supervisor of the army, let alone lead the troops to help Wuzhou, even if he is asked to lead the troops to defend the city, he would not dare, otherwise he would have fought The military power has won the merits by himself, and it was only when he went north this time that he realized that fighting is much more difficult than she imagined!
Someone said, "Hou Ye, although it is a good thing for Prince Rui to bring reinforcements, but right now there are more than 100,000 troops in the army. After losing this time, they may all come back and continue to fight against Fengzhou. We will just guard like this. It's not big, not to mention that the materials in the city will always be used up! What should we do then?"
Yan Qi snorted, "I'm afraid this is Yan Chi's plan to drive Rong Man back so that we will suffer!"
Yue Qiong sneered, "Don't say that again, King Cheng. At this moment, we alone can't do it. Ge Shangshu's reinforcements are still on the way. If we want to defend Fengzhou, I have an idea here."
Everyone is looking at Yue Qiong, now the situation is one-sided, Fengzhou is in danger, everyone puts their hope on Yue Qiong, as long as Yue Qiong is stable, everyone can persist.
Yue Qiong pondered for a while and said, "We can join hands with Prince Rui!"
"No! Yan Chi is a rebellious traitor!"
Yan Qi clapped the case and resolutely denied it!
Yue Qiong looked at the others, "What do you think?"
Hu Shi, who had complex expressions on the other generals' faces, glanced a little uncertainly.
"Prince Rui is indeed a traitor. Although it is beneficial for us to join forces with Prince Rui, the Emperor will not be happy if he finds out."
"But if we don't join forces, how can we deal with the more than 100,000 soldiers and barbarians outside? We must know that the ones who can join forces now are the Shuoxi Army in the west and the Beifu Army in the east. In comparison, Prince Rui and the Empress are still the same. Bloody and righteous, this time the queen is defending the city, Prince Rui could have stayed in Shuoxi, but he came from such a distance for reinforcements, this kind of righteousness is admirable..."
"That's true, no matter what the decision is, we will support Lord Hou."
There are many troops stationed in Jinzhou, so naturally more people choose to listen to Yue Qiong. Seeing this, Yan Qi was dissatisfied, but didn't say anything.
Yue Qiong said, "Don't worry about feeling bad, maybe Prince Rui has no intention of joining forces with us at all."
One person said, "Speaking of which, Lord Hou is the uncle of His Highness Prince Rui, why not send someone to contact His Highness Prince Rui! The reinforcements from the capital will only arrive in ten days, and besides, our supplies are not much. If there is any further delay, I am afraid that when the city is finally broken, I will still have to ask His Highness Prince Rui for help, instead of doing that, it is better to contact him earlier."
Yue Qiong looked at everyone for a moment, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll take it as everyone agrees."
Yan Qi was about to speak, Yue Qiong said again, "Anyone who disagrees, just come up with a better plan than this method, if you can't think of it, just shut up."
With such words, Yan Qi had no choice but to swallow the dissatisfaction in his heart.
When he came out of the big tent, Yan Qi's complexion became a little bad, he is a king! Now that the prince is a traitor, he will be the prince in the future, but these people don't obey him at all, especially Yue Qiong! Thinking of this, Yan Qi became very angry, and when he returned to his camp, he called his confidant Lu Xiao and told him, "Immediately write a letter to Emperor Father, saying that Yan Chi led troops to help Wuzhou, and now Yue Qiong wants to make peace with you." Yan Chi teamed up! Send it out with a letter eagle."
Lu Xiao immediately went to prepare when he heard the words, Yan Qi couldn't help but sneered, this is the role of him as an overseer, just acting as the emperor's arm and ear, Yan Qi thought again, the emperor probably wanted to use this to test him, since that's the case, Naturally, he wanted to show his loyalty.
Yue Qiong didn't know that Yan Qi had delivered the letter, and after discussing with the generals, he decided to send someone to find Yan Chi. If the two of them could unite, they would have the power to fight Rong Man, and the situation would not be resolved. Being so passive, people sent out, and Yue Qiong continued to wait tensely for news from Wuzhou City.
At the same time, Chongzhou City was more comfortable than Wuzhou and Fengzhou. Chongzhou was in the east, and it was the farthest from Cangzhou among the three. No one came to attack them, but there were 30,000 troops stationed in the south of Chongzhou City, still watching the queen's movements, preventing them from going south.
In the yamen of the city, Zhao You's condition has not improved. Because of this, Zhao Shuhua has not mentioned the matter of going south these few days. He is only afraid that Zhao You's condition will become more serious, but Zhao You is wholeheartedly persuading Zhao Shuhua for reinforcements. Toyosu.
"Shu'er, we are waiting here now. The barbarians have wiped out the city of Fengzhou. Fengzhou was the first to be unlucky, but the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If Fengzhou is gone, can we get it? Cangzhou It is a lesson from the past!"
Zhao Shuhua smiled bitterly, "Father, Fengzhou is led by Yue Qiong and King Cheng. We are in the same situation as them now, how can we join hands? If we send troops, I am afraid that we will attract barbarians! At that time, it will not be the one who just sit idly by. We are."
Zhao You coughed and shook his head, "No, Yue Qiong is not such a person. It is because of Yue Qiong that I call you like this. If it is someone else, I can't believe it. Shu'er, beat the Rong people out first, and then you If you want Che'er to be the prince or the emperor, I will listen to you, and my father will support you, but now that the country is in crisis, even if my father is not a subject of his Yanhuai, he is still a member of Zhou, how can he be selfish? To disregard the world? I have already been ashamed of the people of Cangzhou! Now, do I have to be ashamed of more people?"
Zhao You coughed fiercely, and Zhao Shuhua could only sigh, "Father is right, how about I send someone to contact Anyanghou first?"
Hearing this, Zhao You breathed a sigh of relief just now, and Zhao Shuhua comforted him again, and watched Zhao You take the medicine before coming out.
Cheng Wei was also in the tent just now, and asked Zhao Shuhua as soon as he went out, "Empress, do you want to contact Marquis Anyang immediately?"
Zhao Shuhua glanced at Cheng Wei when he heard the words, "Father's heart softened when he was old, why did General Cheng also start to soften his heart?"
Cheng Wei understood for a moment when he heard the words, and knew that Zhao Shuhua had no intention of joining forces with Yue Qiong, so he pursed his lips and dared not speak.
Although Zhao Shuhua didn't send anyone to contact Yue Qiong, she always sent people to Fengzhou and Wuzhou to investigate. Two days after Wuzhou's victory, Zhao Shuhua got the news that Yan Chi led troops to reinforce Wuzhou.
Yan Che and Qin Chaoyu were both there when the letter was received, and they were shocked by the news!
Zhao Shuhua frowned and sneered, "Yanchi, Yanchi, he really wants to save the world, but he may have underestimated the viciousness of the man in the capital, once he leaves, how can he keep his Shuoxi! "
Zhao Shuhua has no scruples at all, she always blames the emperor in front of Yan Che.
Yan Che and Qin Chaoyu were both used to it. Looking at the letter, Yan Che's expression was a bit solemn for a moment, "I really didn't expect him to send troops."
From Shuoxi to Wuzhou, it was much farther than from Chongzhou to Fengzhou, but Zhao Shuhua was unwilling to send troops, but Yan Chi came without hesitation, and really saved Wuzhou City.
Yan Che has been deeply influenced by Zhao Shuhua since he was a child, but at the same time he wants to fight against him. There are many times when he wants to be a good emperor. A little bit of admiration, all the way to the north, let him see the suffering of the people more and more, but under the war of thousands of troops, under the threat of 200,000 soldiers and barbarians, he feels powerless every time he thinks about it. There is even fear, but Yan Chi is different, he does not avoid battle at all, he is so decisive and brave, and really deserves the name of the God of War, Yan Che is in Chongzhou, thinking of Yan Chi in Wuzhou City , with a sense of loss that will never match Yanchi's.
Zhao Shuhua sighed in her heart, but said with a sneer, "So what if we send out troops? After all, he is too young, and too much like his father, but his father's lessons are still in front of him, but his scars healed and he forgot It hurts, now that Shuoxi is empty, the emperor will definitely wait for the opportunity!"
Yan Che said, "But... but haven't all the soldiers and horses from the imperial court come to reinforce them? Where are the soldiers and horses going to the west?"
Zhao Shuhua glanced at Yan Che, unable to bear to tell the truth, she just said, "Before the reinforcements arrive, everything will change, child, just wait and see, this time, Yan Chi will suffer a lot .”
Yan Che moved his lips, "Anyway, Yue Qiong is leading the army. Even if Shuoxi is attacked, he probably has arrangements."
Zhao Shuhua shook her head and smiled ironically, but didn't say anything more.
Yan Che hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, are you really not going to send troops?"
Zhao Shuhua immediately looked at Yan Che sternly when he heard the words, Yan Che pursed his lips and said, "I have heard what you and my grandfather said, and I feel that what my grandfather said makes sense. It will be very difficult for us to fight against foreign enemies.”
It was rare for Yan Che to stick to his own opinion in the face of Zhao Shuhua's sternness. Seeing this, Zhao Shuhua said, "I need to find out the news over there to make arrangements. If that time really comes, I won't just sit back and watch the barbarians grow bigger. It is impossible for me to reason with barbarians and negotiate conditions."
Yan Che breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and walked out of the front yard with Qin Chaoyu, "Yan Chi is really admirable sometimes."
What Qin Chaoyu thought was, "Since Prince Rui has arrived in Wuzhou, he doesn't know where Qin Wan is."
Having said that, Yan Che's footsteps stopped, his expression froze, and the shadow in the green dress that was suppressed in his heart floated out again.
