Chapter 222 Arrangement
Zhengzhou, the prefecture is located in the south of Changshe City. The originally empty wild land now becomes a military camp that stretches for more than ten miles. The military camp is located in the north of Changshe City, just like its south. Prime Minister and Shu King Yuchi Dun stood in front of the central army tent at the commanding heights and looked up from a distance, unable to see the border of the military camp.
Looking back around, the scene of the flags as like a sea did not cause too many emotional changes in Yuchi Dun. Over the years, he often led troops to fight, and the troops under his command ranged from tens of thousands to more than one hundred thousand, so he would never be as excited as a young general who had first entered the battle.
He turned his eyes to the southern sky, which was the direction of Shaoling, the capital of Linying County, Yuzhou. The Changshe where Yuchi Dun was located was only more than 60 miles away from Shaoling.
Not long ago, Pan Zihuang, the marching chief who was sent to Yuzhou to suppress the rebellion, led the 20,000 troops and horses to be wiped out in Lekou outside Shaoling City.
Although the Yuzhou area is a plain area, there are many rivers. Before Pan Zihuang was about to lead troops to the expedition in Yecheng, Yuchi Dun repeatedly told him to beware of being attacked by people with water.
Pan Zihuang was a long-time general on the battlefield. Yuchi Dun thought it would be fine, but he was still attacked with water and wiped out the entire army.
When Yuchi Dun received the news in Yecheng, he didn't know what to say, but he wanted to get angry but it was useless, because if he was defeated, he would be defeated. According to the defeated soldiers, Pan Zihuang was surrounded by the enemy and then blew his sword and committed suicide instead of surrendering. Yuchi Dun felt that the other party was responsible, so he did not make things difficult for his family.
Similarly, Yuchi Dun, the general manager of Yuzhou, was defeated and killed, did not make things difficult for his family. After all, it is the time to use people. If you kill someone without any distinction, you will only lose your heart.
To be fair, Yuchi Dun did not feel that these two generals who were defeated were incompetent. The opponent's ability was indeed not bad. In addition, many factors led to the official army's defeat in a row, and the third battle would never be defeated again!
He moved into the tent, and several soldiers were packing the Hu bed and fire brazier in the tent. The military discussion had just ended, and the army would continue to move south soon. Shao Ling was standing in front of him. Just now, Yuchi Dun summoned the generals to discuss the situation in order to arrange an offensive against Shao Ling.
Shaoling is the northern gateway of Xuanhu. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Anzhou army will inevitably send troops to station. However, for Yuchi Dun, the number of troops in Shaoling is better. It is best for the other party to think that Shaoling can turn it into the Yubi City of the past and send heavy troops to defend Shaoling in an attempt to retreat to the enemy.
At that time, Wei Xiaokuan, the guardian of the Western Wei Yubi, fought against Gao Huan's hundreds of thousands of troops with an isolated city. He held on for nearly two months, causing more than 70,000 casualties in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In the end, he returned in vain, and Gao Huan died of depression.
Therefore, Yuchi Dun was wondering whether his niece, Yuwen Wen, would want to defend Shaoling, let the battle of Yubi reappear, and then let him suffer heavy casualties, and he sang "Chi Lechuan" in tears and withdrew his troops.
I really look forward to it, I really want to see how embarrassed you little bastard would look like kneeling in front of me!!
When he thought of Yuwen Wen, Yuchi Dun's emotions fluctuated a little. When his father Yuchi Jiong was alive, he once said that his grandson-in-law Yuwen Wen was "not bad". Yuchi Dun felt that no matter how good Yuwen Wen was, he would be like that.
It was Yuwen Wen that made his previous careful planning almost turn into a bubble.
Yuwen Wen, who was supposed to be basking in the sun in Guangzhou on the Lingbing, slipped back to Shannan in time for some reason. Yuchi Dun arranged for his confidant Cui Daju and his brother-in-law Cui Hongsheng to launch a mutiny in Fengkou, but he ended up ruining a good thing.
And this was just the beginning. Yuchi Dun dispatched five troops south to attack the Five Passes of Dabie Mountain, and inexplicably the entire army was wiped out, which caught people off guard. Yu Wen Wen took the opportunity to attack Xuan Hu and succeeded, causing the situation in Yuzhou to take a sharp turn for the worse.
Then he lost Heba Fuen and Pan Zihuang in a row, and claimed that he had encountered the emperor in trouble in Xuanhu, and issued notices and manifestos everywhere, calling on soldiers and horses from all over the world to support the king. He was very arrogant.
As a result, no one responded to the king.
When Yuchi Dun learned of this situation, his confidence increased greatly. No one in Henan prefectures and counties responded to Yuwen Wen. What does this mean?
It shows that people's hearts are in favor! It shows that Yuwen's family is unpopular!
This is good news, which made Yuchi Dun, who was full of anger, breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that it was nothing wrong to break with the emperor in advance. Everyone thought that the Yuchi family was strong, so few people were willing to die with Yuwen family.
"So, what's the point of fighting?"
Yuchi Dun looked at a huge map, looked at the location of Xuanhu, and muttered to himself. At first, he didn't expect Yu Wen Wen to come back, so he was successfully attacked by the other party, but now, he will never give this little bastard another chance.
Zhengzhou Prefecture is located in Changshe, which is more than 60 miles away from Shaoling and just over 200 miles away from Xuanhu. This distance is within the range of the cavalry's raid.
The imperial court had many cavalry, and the attack of the cavalry alone could make the sensation of Xuanhu Feng. If the other party dared to divide his troops to defend Shaoling in the north and Ruyang in the northeast, it would be seeking death.
Because there were three routes of the imperial army besieging Yuzhou, Yuchi Dun personally directed the army to the south, the Bozhou army east of Yuzhou advanced west, and the Yangzhou army southeast of Yuzhou advanced towards Guangzhou under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou.
The official army attacked the Yuzhou area from the north, east and southeast directions at the same time. The pitiful troops of the opponent were useless no matter what conspiracies and tricks were used.
Whether it is water attack or sneak attack, it is all about mantis chariots. Yuchi Dun looked at the map and looked at the carefully arranged encirclement, and did not think that his niece had any chance.
As for the so-called "Son of Disaster", it doesn't matter whether Yu Wen Qiankeng himself is. No one is willing to raise an army to help the king, which means that this person has lost the people and has no threat at all.
After carefully reviewing his arrangements, Yuchi Dun didn't feel any other problems, so he signaled the soldiers to put away the map, and he transferred it out of the tent himself and rode into the city to go to the palace to pay tribute to the emperor and the queen mother.
The emperor personally led his troops to Henan. Now he is stationed in Changshe. There is a palace in the city, which is the residence of the emperor, the queen mother and the queen Zhu. Yuchi Dun is in charge of military affairs in the south of the city.
The Empress Dowager and Queen Zhu were his niece, and his sister-in-law Wang accompanied him, so Yuchi Dun did not pretend to greet each other every day. Besides, he promised his brother Yuchi Shun in advance to take good care of his sister-in-law, niece and nephew and grandson.
He had promised Yuchi Shun that he would leave a bloodline for Yuwen's family in the future, that is, to let Yuwen Weicheng survive. Even if the dynasties change, Yuwen Weicheng will have no worries about food and clothing and will have children.
After all, half of the blood flowing from Yuwen Weicheng is from the Yuchi family.
Yuchi Dun let the emperor personally fight this time, but in fact he only used it as a symbol to show how ridiculous the fake emperor in Xuanhu City was, while the 100,000 troops accompanied him were real and not exaggerated at all.
He made such arrangements to cut the mess quickly and stabilize the situation in Yuzhou so as not to have any further accidents.
Because if the official army is defeated for the third time, those officials, generals and powerful people from all over the country who are waiting and watching may really be ready to move. At that time, the situation in Henan will be corrupt and I don’t know how much extra money I have to spend if I want to save it.
When the emperor was asked to fight in person, Yuchi Dun had another plan, which was to force Yu Wenwen, who was entrenched in Xuanhu, to let him know more and hide back to Shannan, and not try to trap beasts in Yuzhou.
Otherwise, when the two armies confront each other, the emperor appears in the formation and calls on the officers and soldiers to fight to kill the enemy, what should Yuwen Wen do on the opposite side?
