Yunyang Territory · Xiyuan City.
Someone reported to the lord Yunyang that Shizi, who was traveling with the army, secretly ordered someone to buy wine and got very drunk in the barracks. Lord Yunyang waved his hand to let the man back down; then he sat down at the table, sighed heavily, and slapped hard on the wooden table beside him.
The table couldn't stand the toss, and one of the four table legs collapsed on the spot and fell to the side. The precious teacup on it fell to the ground, and the emerald green tea soup was scattered all over the floor. Lord Yunyang frowned, and became irritable for no reason. He kicked the table out of the door and cursed with veins on his face:
"That traitor!!"
I don't know who I'm scolding.
The breath blocked in his chest slowly dissipated, Lord Yunyang sat back on the chair with a blank expression, and asked someone to come in to clean up the mess and change a new table. Seeing that the lord was in a bad mood, the maids who came in were trembling like walking on thin ice, for fear that the lord Yunyang would take his anger out on them, so they left quickly after cleaning.
Lord Yunyang picked up the newly served tea, took a sip, and placed it on the table.
He never imagined that one day, the noble self, the aging self, would have to go to the battlefield one day. Last year, he also came with an army, but he only hoped to take the prince back from Li De. Unexpectedly, Li De had the courage to stand in front of him with a sword alone. After all, Lord Yunyang swallowed his breath leave silently.
In his eyes, Li De has never been a serious problem, and Yuxi City is just a small fight made by a group of children who have not grown their hair. He wanted to use Lide as a good whetstone, but it was a pity that the knives to be sharpened were too fragile. The eldest son Li Yi, the third son Li Neng, and the fifth son Li Ze fell into his hands one after another. On the road, Lord Yunyang felt a deep disappointment for the first time.
He couldn't figure out why Li De didn't die at the hands of Zhaochen's territory and the demons.
He also couldn't figure out why Li Yi, the eldest son he was optimistic about, couldn't beat even such an opponent.
He never regretted taking Lide as a victim from the beginning to the end, and until now Lord Yunyang didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. In his eyes, as the head of the family, he should have the power to kill and kill each child, and Lide's food and clothing are all in the lord's mansion, so his life should be his own. If Lide had been killed by Liyi back then, maybe Liyi has now grown into a generation of heroes, leading the territory of Yunyang to a new height—
So why did Lide survive
When did I allow him to survive!
He is fully responsible for all the chaos in Yunyang today.
Lord Yunyang only felt his blood surge, but this time he didn't destroy another good table, he clenched his fists tightly, but finally loosened them slowly. The situation has no room for loss, and these anger can be released slowly after taking Yuxi City, what he needs now is enough sobriety.
Frankly speaking, Yuxi City is nothing in his eyes. But Lide really disgusted him by inciting other Yunyang sons to compete for the position of the son. The intrigue of power is pervasive, even if the lord of Yunyang has stayed in the lord's mansion all this time and has not gone out, his ears are full of noises urging him to change his heir. It is conceivable what the commotion outside is like, if this drags on, the interior of Yunyang Territory will be in chaos first.
Although Lord Yunyang has entered middle age, and the vigor of his youth has gradually disappeared, this critical moment is still unambiguous. Back then, he put the weight on the royal family and the previous generation of ministers in white, and participated in the crusade against the lord of Cangzhou. This move was considered right, and Yunyang stayed in a position close to the middle for many years. Now it's time to make a decision again, Lord Yunyang will not hesitate at this time.
The lord of Yunyang called out and called the messengers in, telling them to inform the accompanying generals to come to him to gather later. Several well-known guest ministers and Yunyang Wei's ambassadors were also invited. After the messengers left, Lord Yunyang drank the last sip of tea in his cup and rubbed his frowning brows.
In addition to the troops guarding the border, Yunyang currently has about 60,000 to 70,000 troops that can be mobilized. But my family is aware of their own affairs, and Lord Yunyang is well aware of the phenomenon of empty pay and blood of soldiers. The last time the Yunyang army was dispatched on a large scale, it was to help the royal family suppress the Cangzhou lord’s uprising. At that time, the Yunyang army’s combat effectiveness was still very strong, but over the past ten or twenty years, the army that has been idle has gradually become rotten. , Of the 60,000 to 70,000 establishments, there are only about 30,000 people who can actually fight.
Just these 30,000 people cannot be mobilized all at once.
The lord of Yunyang must arrange for his trusted generals to sit in Lingyun City, so as to prevent the phenomenon of inner ghosts standing behind when the front line is tight. And to protect his trusted generals from being assassinated, Yunyang Wei and Keqing must leave some guards there at the same time. In addition, the transportation of food and grass needs to be watched by the army, and only about 20,000 people actually went to the battlefield.
Fortunately, the only remaining 20,000 people are the elite that Lord Yunyang is proud of.
Many of the people inside had been on the battlefield with Lord Yunyang back then. The brothers who were born and died side by side in their twenties are only in their forties this year. They are in the prime of life, and they carry Yunyang's last pride. As for the others, many of them were trained step by step by veterans and recruits, and they were all very reliable brothers of their own family.
The lord of Yunyang has built quite luxurious equipment for them, which is absolutely not available to the soldiers of Yuxi City.
When fighting Liyi, Yuxi City still had the lead in equipment, but when it comes to Lord Yunyang, it probably won't take advantage of it. It's not that Yuxi City can't make good weapons and armor, but that the number of blacksmiths is not enough. It is absolutely impossible to arm an army of thousands of people with Liushi alone. Fortunately, this year, the first batch of Liushi's apprentices will barely be able to leave the army. Only then will the weapons and equipment of the Yuxi City army have a whole leap forward development.
In addition to the superiority in numbers and weapons and equipment, many senior generals from Yunyang also came this time.
Fei Luoge, who accompanied Li Yi to come last time, is actually not good, he is a steady veteran. It's a pity that Fang Shisan dragged him to death in the trap because of his advanced age. But this time, the number of capable people and strangers around Lord Yunyang is definitely enough. Although many people rely on connections to get to the top, there are indeed some real guys among them.
If the Yunyang Guard and those powerful guests are counted, then this time in the competition of hard power, the Lord of Yunyang should be crushed in all directions without dead ends. But even so, Lord Yunyang still did not slack off in the slightest. He knew that if he won this battle, no one would praise his wisdom; on the contrary, if he lost or was tied, his fame might be ruined .
He closed his eyes, tried not to think about the useless elder son and those sons who had their own plans, and focused all his energy on the battle situation in front of him.
This time, he must win.
