The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1560

[Chapter 1560]

In June, Shengjing is much more comfortable at night than during the day. It feels very refreshing without the sun.

Yuchen accompanied Gui Momo for a walk in the garden, and stopped in front of a golden flower.

These flowers are full of vitality and slender, dancing in the gentle breeze, like live butterflies.

Madam Gui sat on the stone with the cushion on it, looked at the flowers and smiled, “These flowers are so beautiful. Empress, you can paint this beautiful scene.”

Yuchen smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll paint tomorrow.” These flowers are seeds brought from outside, which were planted the year before. Only now is it blooming.

Just as he was not talking, he saw A Bao coming from a distance.

Seeing Abao’s strange face, Yuchen asked with a smile, “What’s the matter?” Abao’s marriage has not been decided yet, and Yuchen has been busy with it recently. I had two eyes on them before, but unfortunately A Bao didn’t like them.

A Bao said: “There is an official letter from the capital saying that an envoy will be sent to Shengjing.”

Yunqing and Yuxi had also sent official letters to Yan Wushuang several times before, but this was the first time they dispatched envoys.

Yuchen’s intuition was not a good thing, and asked, “Do you know what’s going on?”

“I didn’t find out. We’ll find out when we ask the royal father later.” She also wanted to know what the envoy was here for.

Yuchen nodded.

At night, Yuchen was about to take a break when she heard the sound of greetings outside, and hurriedly got up to greet Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang was busy with the war in Tongcheng from morning till night, and only slept for two hours a day. This time I arrived at the Ruyi Palace, lying on the bed and squinting.

Yuchen ordered someone to give Yan Wushuang a late-night snack, and then climbed into bed to give him a massage.

Without Yuchen asking, Yan Wushuang said, “Yun Qing and Han Yuxi actually want to send envoys to recruit me, it’s really wishful thinking.” In the words, there was a tone of sarcasm.

Yuchen’s hand paused and said, “Your Majesty, it is false to recruit and surrender, but it is true that Tongcheng is fighting fiercely and wants to take advantage of it.”

Yan Wushuang felt that Yuchen had grown a lot.

Yuchen said with some worry: “Your Majesty, Tongcheng is now at war with the Donghu people. If Yunqing sends troops again, our situation will be difficult.”

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, “Don’t worry. When Han Yuxi sent an envoy, it would be shooting himself in the foot.” If the Donghu people cannot take Tongcheng within two months, they will definitely withdraw their troops.

As long as the Donghu people withdraw their troops, the Ming army will not be able to enter Liaodong. Yan Wushuang still has this confidence.

Yuchen smiled bitterly and said, “I’m afraid they have made two preparations. If they don’t get a response, they will send troops.”

“This battle is unavoidable. If the Ming army really comes, I will be there to fight in person.” Tongcheng has Qiu Dashan waiting, and he is relieved.

Yuchen was a little anxious: “Who will supervise the country in that dynasty?” No matter which prince supervises the country, it is not good news for her.

Yan Wushuang said: “When the envoy arrives, I will let Achi come back.” This means that Achi will supervise the country.

Only then did Yuchen feel relieved: “I haven’t reached that stage yet.” Neither of the husband and wife thought about being comforted.

After a pause, Yuchen said: “A Bao has been clamoring to go to Tongcheng recently. Your Majesty, you must never agree to her.” A Chi kept her worried in Tongcheng, not eating well or sleeping well. If Bao was to go again, he would simply not be able to live.

“I won’t let her go.” The people of Tongcheng tried their best to come out, how could he let A Bao go.

Shi Xiang brought a bowl of fragrant mutton noodle soup over. In terms of eating, Yun Qing and Yan Wushuang are quite similar, they both like to eat mutton.

Yan Wushuang smelled the fragrance and opened his eyes. I only ate half of this noodle soup, and Tongcheng sent another urgent battle report.

After reading the battle report, Yan Wushuang looked ugly. Eight days after the start of the war, they have suffered nearly 70,000 casualties while taking advantage of the favorable terrain.

Meng Nian handed over a book: “Your Majesty, this is General Chou’s book.”

Tongcheng has a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses, and now nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses have been damaged. Qiu Dashan asked Zhezi to increase his troops.

Yan Wushuang held the book, looked at the important officials who came over, and asked, “Tongcheng is in danger, what good plan do you have?” Fortunately, he spent a lot of money in the past two years to strengthen the city wall. Otherwise, fear of more casualties.

The Minister of War, Lord Gan, stood up and said, “Your Majesty, you should increase your troops immediately.”

It’s like saying nothing.

Before Yan Wushuang was defeated and retreated to Shengjing, Liaodong had 1.2 million troops. But he dispatched 500,000 soldiers and horses from Liaodong, and finally brought back only 50,000 horses. And in these years of fighting year after year, there have been countless casualties.

Conscripted every year, and now there are almost no soldiers to be conscripted. Therefore, the regular army now has less than 700,000 troops. These soldiers and horses are 250,000 in Tongcheng, 200,000 in Xiangzhou, 150,000 in Shengjing, and 150,000 troops are scattered in the local area to maintain local stability.

Now to mobilize troops, we can only mobilize the 150,000 troops in the local area at most. But once these soldiers and horses are all transferred away, I am afraid that the place will not be stable.

Although Yan Wushuang has reduced and exempted taxes in recent years, coupled with the introduction of potato and sweet potato, many people can fill their stomachs. But some people are often hungry. Once the troops are withdrawn, these people are likely to start a riot at the instigation of people with good intentions.

After negotiating for a long time, we finally dispatched 70,000 troops and horses from the local area, and then 50,000 troops and horses from Shengjing.

As soon as this matter was discussed, General Shen Honghua stood up and asked for battle: “Your Majesty, I would like to lead troops to Tongcheng to support General Qiu.”

Yan Wushuang nodded and agreed, and also ordered Lin Fengyuan, the general of the expedition to go to Tongcheng to fight against the Donghu people.

After discussing this matter, a few hours have passed. Yan Wushuang was already very tired, but he couldn’t rest.

After summoning Meng Nian over, Yan Wushuang asked, “Have you found out who the envoy is?”

Meng Nian shook his head.

“What’s going on over there in the capital?” Today, he is suffering from an unprecedented crisis.

Meng Nian shook his head and said, “Feng Dajun has been asking for battle, but Yunqing and Han Yuxi have not responded. Except for dispatching envoys, there is nothing else unusual.”

Yan Wushuang asked, “Yun Qing and Han Yuxi want to recruit me, what do you think?”

Meng Nian’s thoughts were the same as Yu Chen’s: “It’s just a show.” They had a bloody feud with Yun Qing and Han Yuxi, and they couldn’t be recruited. Yun Qing and Han Yuxi must be clear about this.

With a sigh, Yan Wushuang said, “If they don’t get a response, they will definitely send troops. I’m worried that Yun Qing will lead the army personally.” If Yun Qing led the troops, he would not have much chance of winning. After all, Yunqing’s name of God of War was not blown out, but was typed out.

Meng Nian smiled bitterly and said, “Nine times out of 10, the leader of the army is Yunqing.” Generally, emperors seldom go on expeditions in person because the risks are high, not only the danger of war, but also the instability of the rear. But with Han Yuxi around, the rear must be solid as a rock. On the contrary, if the master of his own chariot and the third princes guard Shengjing in person, those fine works lurking in Shengjing are likely to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

“Then we have to prepare for the worst.” He really didn’t have much confidence in facing Yun Qing.

On the morning of the second day, Meng Nian received news from the capital and the northwest: “Your Majesty, Yunqing has appointed Hu Yiyan as his envoy to recruit security. In addition, there is a change in the troops and horses in the northwest.” Thinking about it, Yunqing was The troops were dispatched from the northwest to Changzhou.

“That’s what Han Yuxi can think of.” He didn’t even appoint a high-ranking official in the court as an envoy, and let Hu Yixi, who only devoted himself to learning, be an envoy.

Meng Nian felt that Han Yuxi’s move was shameless: “The emperor’s minister of personnel and minister of labor are both from Baitan Academy, and they are also Hu Yiyan’s students. If we want to be unfavorable to Hu Yixi, they will definitely stand up and beg for mercy. of.”

“Why do you want to kill him? Just leave him in Shengjing.” As for those followers, if they are not pleasing to the eye, they will be killed. However, with Han Yuxi’s temperament, I was afraid that those who followed were some irrelevant characters.

Many generals couldn’t figure out how the court wanted to appease Yan Wushuang. And Feng Zhiao is one of them.

Feng Zhiao held the sword in his hand and said: “Father, now the thieves of Yan are fighting against the Donghu people, and this is the best time for us to send troops. At this time, we sent an envoy to Liaodong to say that we want to appease the thieves Yan, this is not a delay in the fighter. Is it?” Sending troops at this time will definitely be able to quickly conquer Xiangzhou and take Shengjing.

Feng Dajun scolded Feng Zhiao: “What do you know? In terms of fighting, you are more powerful than the emperor?”

How could Feng Zhiao dare to compare with Yun Qing: “Father, I just don’t understand why I sent some bullshit envoys to surrender.”

Feng Dajun said: “The emperor is afraid that once we send troops and push Yan Wushuang into a desperate situation, he will form an alliance with the Donghu people. If this is the case, the war will continue.”

Feng Zhiao raised his voice and said, “Fight as long as you fight, the Beiluo people are all wiped out, are you still afraid of them?”

Feng Dajun felt that his son was young, and he was too short-sighted to look at the problem: “I don’t need money to fight a war? There is no money in the national treasury now. Besides, the world has settled down in the past few years. Taxation, the common people will not be able to live in the world, or they will fall into chaos again.”

Feng Zhiao thought this was a fallacy, and said, “If you say that, don’t you ever fight Liaodong?”

“Is this the meaning of the emperor and the queen?” Anyway, he followed orders. Let the fight, he sent troops to attack Xiangzhou. Without the order to send troops, he guarded Changzhou well.

Feng Zhiao was a little dejected: “I thought I could take this opportunity to win Liaodong.”

“Yan Wushuang is now fighting the Donghu people as fiercely as possible, and the more soldiers and horses will be damaged. After we take Liaodong, it will be much easier to fight the Donghu people.” The Donghu people also have a population of more than two million. Well, the ones with combat effectiveness are at most half. One more death, one less burden. Of course, the premise is to win Liaodong within five years.

Feng Zhiao thought this joke was not funny at all: “The generals in the army are eagerly waiting for meritorious service!” He also wanted to take this opportunity to make a great contribution!

Feng Dajun glanced at Feng Zhiao: “What’s the hurry, there are opportunities for meritorious service.” After conquering Liaodong, he has to fight the Donghu people! How can you worry about the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. But by then, he’ll be taking a back seat. The battlefield should be left to the young people of my son’s generation.
