Chapter 155 Decision
In the afternoon, in the Wuyang prefecture of Qiaozhou, Yuchi Mingyue was talking to the daughter of the princess, the prince of Xiyang, Yuwen Weicheng, played with the white dog Xiaobai in the courtyard, and Persian Huji Anis was accompanying him.
Princess Qianjin and her group set off from Haizhou and returned to Shannan. Based on safety considerations, they did not stop for too long. They could only breathe a sigh of relief until they arrived in Woyang three days ago and arrived at the Southeast Road marching base camp.
According to the arrangement of Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang, they would take a few days to rest in Woyang. After all, Princess Qianjin and others crossed the sea to the south, and were exhausted by the bumps on the sea. They finally landed on the shore but rushed for days without rest. They must wait until now.
After recovering, I set off to Shannan and wait for news.
The news is the emperor's decision, about the decision of the Princess of Xiyang, the Prince and Yuchi Mingyue.
When leaving Haizhou, Yuwen Wen sent a messenger, carrying his apology form and the handwritten letter from the daughter of the princess, to Chang'an. While reporting good news to the emperor, he apologized for his wife and children and sister.
The distance from Qushan, Haizhou to Chang'an, Guanzhong was less than 2,500 miles. Yuwen Wen sent a messenger to travel 400 miles a day. It took about six or seven days to arrive at Chang'an. It was enough to calculate the time, which was enough for a round trip.
The princess Qianjin and her party set out from Haizhou, went through Pengcheng, Xuzhou to Qiaozhou, and traveled 60 miles a day. It took ten days to arrive at Woyang and stayed in the city for another three days. If the emperor made a decision quickly, the angels who set out from Chang'an should almost arrive at Woyang at this time.
Yuchi Mingyue counted the date with her fingers. She didn't know if she could be spared from being held accountable by the emperor, so as the expected date for the angel to arrive in Woyang became closer, she became more and more uneasy.
She wanted to talk to her sister more, but her sister became ill, so she could only seek comfort from the princess Qianjin and play with Yuwen Weicheng.
Yuchi Mingyue was skeptical about her sister's illness, and the daughter-in-law understood that this was just an excuse. Thinking about the extremely energetic King of Xiyang, she couldn't help but express deep sympathy for the "experience" of the Princess Xiyang.
Departing from Haizhou, the princesses of Qianjin were on the carriage for transportation, while the princess of Xiyang was lying on the carriage every day. If the princess of Qianjin had not seen the rosy face and the eyes were full of spring, she would have thought that the other party was about to die of illness.
A small separation is better than a newlywed. The King of Xiyang is energetic. The Princess of Xiyang is as beautiful as a fairy. You can imagine that after the reunion, the couple of Xiyang are tossing every night. The princess can lie on the carriage to sleep while traveling in the daytime, but the King of Xiyang is still riding a horse and galloping, which shows how vigorous his energy is.
It’s good to know the story of the Princess Xiyang’s “sickness”. The princess of the daughter will not point it out, so she often asked Yuwen Weicheng to come and play around and did not let him disturb her mother’s “rehabilitation”.
After three days of rest, Princess Qianjin and others have recovered from the fatigue of their journey and are waiting for the news from Chang'an.
In his handwritten letter to his younger brother, the princess Qianjin talked about her experiences since the Yecheng Incident, and specifically emphasized the kindness of Sister Yuchi's care for her, and sincerely asked the emperor to give her a chance to repay her kindness.
This is to plead for the mercy of Sister Yuchi. The daughter-in-law hopes that her younger brother can understand the truth, think about the overall situation, forgive the princess of Xiyang, the prince and Yuchi Mingyue, and not be urged to act irritable.
Because King Qi is still there, King Xiyang’s “request” must be agreed if the emperor does not agree, and he can’t resist it at all!
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a noise in the city. The sound became louder and louder, as if there was some good news that caused everyone to cheer. Yuchi Mingyue became nervous as she listened: "Can't it be... Could it be that someone from Chang'an has arrived?"
Princess Qianjin denied Yuchi Mingyue’s statement: “It shouldn’t be. If the angel came with an imperial edict, it would not make a big fuss to let outsiders know, so why would it make everyone cheer?”
After thinking about it again, the Qianjin Princess said her judgment: "It should be a good news, and Lubu Feijie can make such a big noise."
......
In the Woyang Office and the Seminar Hall, civil and military officials were rumored to see the good news, and everyone was overjoyed. According to the good news, Shi Wansui, the general manager of the marching, has led his troops to capture Xiao Huang, the governor of Bozhou Prefecture.
Xiao Huang is located in the northwest of Woyang, about 200 miles upstream of Wohui, while Xuzhou Prefecture is located in Pengcheng, about 300 miles east of Xiaohuang. The official army recovered Xiao Huang, which not only means that most of the Bozhou General Administration is controlled by the imperial court, but also makes the flanks of Woyang and Pengcheng no longer threaten.
According to the previous arrangement, Shi Wansui, the general manager of the marching, was responsible for protecting the security of Woyang, and then waiting for an opportunity to harass the Bozhou territory, leaving the Bozhou army with no time to care for it. Shi Wansui was not just harassing, but was looking for fighter opportunities to break Xiao Huang.
Fighter planes appeared when autumn arrived.
Whether the autumn harvest can be successfully completed determines whether the Bozhou army can have sufficient military rations to support them in order to continue to stick to Xiao Huang. Shi Wansui sent troops to approach Xiao Huang and divided his troops to various places to harvest millet and wheat.
This approach can kill two birds with one stone, which can satisfy one's own food and grass needs and cut off the food source of the Bozhou army. Shi Wansui's carefully planned action to harvest millet and wheat directly made the Bozhou army restless and could no longer be determined to defend the city, and had to take the initiative to fight to save the situation.
At the same time, Yang Su, the marching general manager of the Pengcheng army, divided his troops westward to raid the eastern border of Bozhou, and constrained a unit of Bozhou army to be unable to move. Shi Wansui then sent a side division to mobilize the few remaining main forces of the Bozhou army to go out to pursue the city, and used the barbarian soldiers who "fled in front of the professional formation" as bait to attract the opponent to fight to the decisive battle.
The barbarians who had already escaped the stains in front of the formation twice performed very "realistic" this time, luring the Bozhou army to pursue with all their might, and were cut off by the ambush arranged by Shi Wansui.
The fleeing barbarians were really defeated this time. After the ambush attacked, they immediately counterattacked and joined forces with friendly forces to encircle and annihilate the Bozhou army. Seeing that the situation was over, the Bozhou general manager abandoned the city and fled. Shi Wansui immediately led his troops into Xiao Huang.
When the good news came, Woyang was naturally full of joy. At this time, in the conference hall, the marshal, Wang Yuwen of Xiyang, was discussing with the Marshal General Wei Xuan about how to consolidate the fruits of victory next.
"King, Xiao Huang, there is no threat in the north of Woyang, and the Yuchishun army in Zhengzhou will be in panic!"
"Duke Wei, is our army's food and grass enough to support Xiao Huang's garrison?"
"Please rest assured, let's not talk about it elsewhere. The autumn harvest in Huaixi is good. The millet and wheat harvested in Huaixi are enough to support the official army to station Xiaohuang."
"That's it..."
Yuwen Wen nodded, then blocked his mouth with his hand and yawned. Wei Xuan saw this person who looked like he was sleep-deprived, and knew what was going on, but he was not easy to persuade him, so he could only think that he didn't know.
Everyone has a young age. Wei Xuan can understand Yuwen Wen. He really admires the other party's energy for many nights and can still shake his energy during the day to handle military affairs. Don't you feel tired?
It’s great to be young!
Wei Xuan sighed in his heart, but now is not the time to sigh. The Southeast Road march took Xiao Huang. In fact, the direction of combat deviates from the initial stage. However, the court has ordered them to assist Yu Wenming in dealing with Yuchi Shun and recover Henan. Therefore, the decision must be made as soon as possible to set the combat target next.
Yuwen Wen looked at the map and yawned again. The map in front of him reminded him of the ecstasy scenes that night: his beautiful wife with a jade body on the map, a pair of straight long legs, long hair that exudes a fragrance, and...
After a few dry coughs, Yuwen Wen turned his thoughts back to reality: "I think that the land of Qingqi can be temporarily not taken. General Manager Yang is stationed in Pengcheng to stabilize the defense line, General Manager Han leads troops north, and goes north with General Manager Shi to advance from the flank to Zhengzhou Yuchishun!"
"Let Yuchi Shun restless in Zhengzhou, the remaining choice is either to fight to the decisive battle or retreat to Luoyang. By then, it will not be too late to take the Qingqi land."
Wei Xuan and a group of generals agreed with Yuwen Wen's decision. Although it is a great opportunity for the Southeast Road marching, it is a good time to recover the Qingzhou General Administration Office, from a global perspective, it is necessary to first solve the Yuchishun army so that the official army can be safely divided into troops to recover Henan.
The Yuchi Shun army was the last field force of the Yuchi family south of the Yellow River. Only by annihilation or driving it away can the official army truly gain a foothold in Henan.
While the discussion was right, soldiers came to report that the envoy from Chang'an had entered the city and was about to announce the edict at the official office.
Wei Xuan asked the military officers to prepare for the angel's decree. When Yuwen Wen heard this, he raised his eyebrows, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the conference hall.
Chapter completed!
