Chapter seven hundred and sixty-ninth war starts
On the ninth day of the fifth month, the general Wang Keming returned from the front line and went directly to the palace to face the saint. Jiang Anyi keenly found that the atmosphere in Zhenbei City suddenly became tense. In the next few days, generals including Miao, Qi, Zhu, Pang, and Zhang frequently entered and left the palace, and the palace was protected by three steps, one whistle, five steps, and one post was strictly guarded. Once Jiang Anyi wanted to face the saint, he was blocked outside. It was speculated that the battle was about to be born, and Jiang Anyi felt itchy. He came to Beimo for a fight. Who wouldn't want to make a fortune by jumping on a horse and spear? He only took fame and fortune to the horse, which was better than recording others' achievements here.
On May 13, Jiang Anyi finally saw the emperor and immediately asked Shi Fangzhen for battle, hoping to go to the front line to kill the enemy and make contributions. Shi Fangzhen smiled and said, "Jiang Qing has a commendable courage, but there are many brave generals on the battlefield, but I cannot leave the military senator. When the soldiers settled the royal court in the north, Jiang Qing followed me to the royal court of the desert and revisited the old place. Jiang Qing can prepare some good words to congratulate him."
King Luo Huai, who was following the emperor, muttered, "Father, if you don't let me go to the front line to kill the enemy, just let me learn something from Lord Jiang. I am the most familiar with the civil and military officials in the court."
This time, the prince supervised the country, King An of Chu assisted the government, and Shi Fangzhen brought King Luo Huai by his side. People are so strange. They feel awkward when they don’t like it. They do whatever they want. Shi Chongren is straightforward and less calm than his two brothers, but in Shi Fangzhen’s eyes, they are straightforward and unsatisfied. In addition, their relationship with Concubine Liu is eased. The emperor, who is getting tired of fighting in the court, naturally feels comfortable when seeing King Luo Huai, and has a bit of family happiness for ordinary fathers and sons.
Hearing his son's plea, Shi Fangzhen thought for a moment: "I am happy that you have the ambition to do so. Jiang Qing has learned something from him. I agree."
Luo Huai was cheering, Jiang Anyi secretly complained, and went to Jiangzhou to investigate the official Tian, Shi Chongren caused a lot of trouble, and this man was not a good-for-nothing man. The third son of the emperor, the prince was originally close to Jiang Anyi, but after Jiang Anyi entered the capital, he encountered many problems one after another. In addition, Cheng Mingdao fanned the flames, and the prince and Jiang Anyi had a rift secretly. Jiang Anyi also disliked the prince's actions, and they were both tired of each other and gradually got farther away. As for King An of Chu, he was against him, and he repeatedly targeted him in the court. After all, this King Luo Huai was still close to him.
In any case, the emperor was willing to let his son follow him, so Jiang Anyi had to take the happy King Luo Huai to the official hall - the Senate Office. The Senate Office was set up after the emperor came. It was on the front left side of the palace, with a few small houses across the courtyard. Jiang Anyi led a dozen military staff members to analyze the war reports and summarized them as historical materials.
Shi Chongren picked up the manuscripts compiled on the table and read them. "On May 15th, the Zheng army advanced together, and the three armies of 400,000 were in the middle and forced into the Kunbo camp. The two armies of 200,000 were in the left to restrain the Liman camp. At the end of the afternoon, Wang Keming led the three armies to fight with Kunbo. When the battle reached Shen, Kunbo retreated back to the camp and could not leave. The Zheng army rushed to the camp several times and was blocked outside the camp."
"Mr. Jiang, didn't you say that Kunbo is a warlike person? How could he hide in the village and be beaten?" Shi Chongren said in a little puzzled manner.
Jiang Anyi said: "Our army is good at defending, and the people of the desert are good at attacking. At present, the attack and defense are mutated. It is a good thing for our army, but we must be careful of the people of the desert robbing the village. Prince, please continue to look down. The people of the desert will be several times in the next two days.
The surprise attack was carried out, and Duke Shen handled it properly, so he did not let the Mo Ren succeed."
"Has the war report been delivered yesterday?" Shi Chongren put the manuscript back on the table and asked, "The Mo people want to compete with us for manpower and material resources, which is asking for trouble. If I will give up the camp, break it into pieces, and play hide-and-seek with our army on the grassland. This is the most difficult thing to deal with."
Jiang Anyi remained silent. Even the fifteen-year-old boy could see the mystery of it. The man of Mo could not have seen this, but Kunbo was determined to defend the camp and did not retreat. It seemed that the war on the front line was unpredictable. As the commander of the three armies, Duke Shen should be more careful.
Before noon, the emperor summoned Jiang'anyi side hall to discuss matters. Shi Chongren jumped up and said, "It should be the battle report. My father is rehearsing the war on the sand table. I like it the most. Lord Jiang, go quickly."
In the side hall, a group of people were surrounding the sand table. The emperor Shi Fangzhen looked serious. The left prime minister Kong Sheng, the Minister of War Ding Dawei and others looked bad. Several craftsmen were pointing at the left-leading general Chen Xupeng to quickly change the sand table. The Taiwei Mansion official and the Huaihua General Zhu Xupu were explaining the battle situation to the emperor. The generals standing by the sand table were all tense and smiled.
Jiang Anyi's heart moved. Could it be that there was something unfavorable news from the front line? King Luo Huai squeezed into the crowd. Jiang Anyi followed him and looked at the sand table. The sand table was developed by him. Jiang Anyi was naturally familiar with the arrangement of the sand table. The black wooden block represents the desert army, and the yellow one is Zheng. It looks about a hundred miles away from the battlefield to Zhenbeicheng.
Ding Dawei said with a war report in his hand: "Duke Shen sent a war report. On the eve of the night, Kunbo's troops sent experts to sneak into the camp to try to set fire to the grain. The military intelligence department of the patrol showed up in a melee. The Moqi broke through the Qi Xinwen department of the Zuozhai. Qi Shuai forced the Moqi to retreat with a winch crossbow. He took the opportunity to block the death. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated by the masters of the Moqi. The horse was injured and returned to the camp. After dawn, the Moqi attacked the outside of the camp with a small number of light cavalry. Most of the troops moved left and fought with the Liman team. Zhang Yuanguan and Pang Qingzhong responded hastily and suffered a small loss. After receiving the request for help, Duke Shen immediately asked Miao Tieshan, and Zhu Jinfeng led a 200,000 army to rescue, and is still in the battle."
The sand table has been laid out, and Chen Xupeng gave instructions with a bamboo stick in his hand. The battle report was too simple, so he could only speculate. The generals on both sides made additional comments from time to time. Jiang Anyi was not qualified to interrupt and listened carefully with his ears. The generals were optimistic in their words. The emperor's face was tense. When he first came, Shi Fangzhen knew that the battlefield was changing rapidly and fighting with Moqi on the grassland did not have the upper hand.
As the investigation reports continued to be sent, Shi Fang's face became more and more gloomy. The two armies were in a difficult situation to resolve. Wang Keming and Qi Xinwen led 200,000 rear-end to the battlefield, and the people of the Mo began to retreat. At the right time, Wang Keming sent the final battle report. The two armies had already ceased to fight. Zheng's army returned to the headquarters, and the people of the Mo fled. It was initially counted that the two sides suffered similar losses in the war.
Shi Fangzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was able to escape. Jiang Anyi stood in the side hall for four hours, tired and hungry, and returned to his residence to eat and adjust his breath and go to bed. The guards in the general's mansion were so tight that there was no need to worry about the assassin coming, but Huang Zhu and others arranged for the two to be on duty as usual.
The next day, at the Mao hour, Jiang Anyi felt the noise of the General's Mansion, and knew something was different, so he stood up and asked. The personal guard Huang Zhu came in and reported: "Last night, the Duke of Shen sent someone to send a war report, and long live to summon the generals to discuss the matter."
There were many senior generals who followed the army, no wonder they were in trouble.
Jiang Anyi was not qualified to participate in the meeting. After breakfast, he came to the Senate Office to wait for news. Not long after, King Luo Huai came with a mysterious look on his face. Before Jiang Anyi asked, Shi Chongren said in a low voice: "Master Jiang, do you know about the attack on the desert camp last night? I originally thought of listening to the side palace, but when I stood in the yard, I heard the roar of my father's great thunder, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to go in."
The emperor was furious and could not ask about the great losses caused by the attack on the desert camp. The entire city of Zhenbei was panicked. From the emperor to the ordinary soldiers, they were anxiously waiting for the accurate news. They waited until the sun set west, and the news from the front was delivered. More than half an hour later, the battle report was sent to the Senate Office.
The battle report was presented by King Keming, Duke of Shen. "Long live the news: At the beginning of Hai last night, the people of Mo divided into dozens of drums and attacked the camp and harassed the squad until the time of Zimo. At the beginning of Yin, the masters of the Mo people secretly opened the camp of Zhu Jinfeng. The Black Wolf Cavalry and Canglang Cavalry were vanguards. The people of Mo people rushed to the camp, and Zhu Jinfeng's tribe was defeated. I ordered Miao Tieshan, Zhang Yuanguan, and Pang Qingzhong to rescue Yao. I and Qi Xinwen led more than 100,000 people under my command to attack the Mozhai where Kunbo was located and defeated it."
Jiang Anyi slapped the table, shouted "Okay", and then looked down, "After breaking the Mozhai, I set fire to the village. When the Moqi saw its own camp catch fire and fight back, I was ready to attack the people of Mozhai with crossbows and bows several times. My troops firmly guarded before the Mozhai. At dawn, Miao Tieshan and others led their troops to encircle Mozhai, and the Mozhai retreated on the whole line. More than 30,000 Mozhai were killed in this battle, of which the Black Wolf Army and the Canglang Army were about 4,000, and the specific results are still under statistics."
"Okay, the fight is wonderful." Jiang Anyi couldn't help but stand up, and saw the counselors on both sides looking at him in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Donalds, the front line is a great victory, Duke Shen leads his army to defeat the desert people."
Cheers spread quickly in Mobei City. Shi Chongren rushed in with a happy look and said to Jiang Anyi: "The father's palace will give you a banquet, please invite Lord Jiang to go to the banquet."
The hall was brightly lit and laughter was endless. There was no singing and dancing in the army to cheer up, and no drinking was allowed. The candlelight made everyone's face red, like drunkenness. Shi Fangzhen laughed and said, "This battle is enough to make the people of the desert scare. I want to reward the soldiers who have made great contributions on the front line. If the soldiers can sway the Northern Desert in one go, I will definitely not reward them, even if they are divided, the northern Desert is large enough to reward them to the ministers."
The emperor's words ignited the atmosphere of the banquet to the extreme. It was difficult for Zheng State to be granted titles, and the marquis were only rewarded with tens of thousands of households, with a maximum of one county. The area in the north of the Mobei State was larger than that of Zheng State. If it could be granted to the meritorious soldiers, it would be possible to easily draw a range of hundreds of miles. There were many children of aristocratic families who went to the expedition with the emperor this time. They had enough ability to seize a large amount of land, supported by family, and managed it with peace of mind for decades, and it was also possible to become a minister.
Three days later, the emperor came to the front line to reward the three armies, money and food, and the Zheng army was immersed in the carnival. Three hundred miles away, the defeated Moqi gathered people and horses, and Kunbo's 200,000 people were left, and the Black Wolf Cavalry lost more than 2,600 people. Although it could be replenished from the Jiewei Army, the combat power of the new Wolf Cavalry was definitely not as good as that of the old people.
