Chapter two hundred and sixty fifth open fight
Luyi, in the suburbs.
Wei Yunkong came in person and directed his soldiers to advance like Yingtian Mansion.
There is no danger here to guard, and there is no forest here to hide.
Woods, rice fields, villages and large areas of crops appeared in front of people. The flat fields and the crowded houses everywhere made Wei Yunkong believe that their plans were foolproof and Chen Shou did not expect his main attack direction.
The Huai Army went down, and neither encountered powerful army blocking nor small guerrilla attacks. Until it entered the fertile hinterland of Yingtian Mansion, it was still very easy and smooth.
In the middle of the headquarters, a simple map was placed in front of Wei Yunkong. The drawing was very simple, and the scale, terrain and other information could not be reflected, but important rivers, cities, and passes could be seen.
Yingtian Mansion was right in front of him. He had already seen the beautiful scene of taking Yingtian and the Tang navy heading north and hanging Chen Shou's head at the top of the city.
At the same time, Yao Guan, who received the news, issued a manifesto that shocked the world, claiming to be the content of Emperor Xiyuan's blood edict, saying that Chen Shou was holding the king and tortured all officials, calling on all heroes in the world to recruit their own troops and go to Beijing to serve the king. Some of them were the first to enter the city and were awarded the title of king.
As soon as the news came out, no matter whether it was true or false, it caused a far-reaching storm.
For a time, many people were eager to try, and more people were watching to see how strong Chen Shou was and whether he could withstand this storm.
The troops under his command are now very considerable. Zhang Zhengyuan transformed the imperial guards, with no less than 100,000; the troops recruited by the bandits recruited in Shandong totaled 150,000 and 60,000; the elite troops of Daming Mansion were handed over by Liang Zhongqiu; although the newly recruited troops in Hedong were only 50,000 or 60,000, the combat power was amazing.
With so many soldiers, coupled with his ally Xiliang, Chen Shou's paper strength is not inferior to anyone.
The first person to respond to the Yaoguan manifesto was Jiang Chucai from Hedong. He also brought a shocking news that the Mongols would send troops to help.
The pressure in Hedong suddenly increased, and no one believed that Yuan Xiannian, who had just gone to Hedong, was killed in the darkness of the sky and the earth, and was able to block Jiang Chucai and the Mongolian coalition forces.
In their opinion, Yuan Xiannian destroyed the tacit understanding and balance in the local area. Killing is a great pleasure, but it will face backlash.
Even Chen Shou's confidants in the court had a lot of people, and wrote a letter to suggest Chen Shou withdrawing Yuan Xiannian and re-arrange a well-mannered official to calm the hearts of the people.
Chen Shou scoffed at this and sent someone overnight to send Yuan Xiannian the imperial edict for promotion, and gave a great reward, which promoted his subordinates one level, and some even three levels in a row.
Everyone suddenly realized that Yuan Xiannian's madness in Hedong was not because of his own mental problems, but because of the instructor of Zhongyong Hou.
Officials who had originally commented heavily on this kept silent. Chen Shou's prestige grew, and no one wanted to make him feel bad.
At this critical moment, the local gentry and bad gentry in Taiyuan City had not yet come down. Their only hope was that Jiang Chucai would bring the Mongols in quickly.
The Mongols only wanted their money, but Yuan Xiannian and Chen Shou wanted their life.
Sending money and not giving up life is just a saying. When it comes time to make a decision, most people can still distinguish between priorities.
Of course, Yuan Xiannian's butcher knife also has supporters, and in terms of the number of people, it is an overwhelming majority.
