Chapter 679 The Sky Has Changed, the Wind Is Blowing

Blocked by Shao Dengyun from Beizhou, the troops assembled in the north by the imperial court could not withdraw unless they fought bloodily with the Beizhou troops.

When the news came back, Shang Jianxiong and others were shocked. Didn't the Shaw Brothers have a grudge against Niu Youdao? How could he also obey the orders of the Shang Dynasty?

The three major factions were also furious after hearing the news, furious that Shang Jianxiong dared to secretly transfer the northern troops behind the back of the three major factions.

Shang Jianxiong and others wanted to cook the raw rice into mature rice, but the rice failed to go into the pot.

The three major factions are also grateful for Shao Dengyun's sudden attack. The situation is obvious. Shang Jianxiong made it clear that he did it regardless of the pressure of the three major factions. Even if the three major factions can intercept them on the way, it will be difficult to intercept them. Ma, the three major factions can't fight Lu Congsheng with so little manpower, can they? At this time, it is not a good thing to start an internal war. With Shao Dengyun's Beizhou troops intercepting it, it is different. Three major factions put pressure on the monks of various sects accompanying Lu Congsheng, and the imperial court's troops in the north were immediately suppressed. , cannot be undone.

Shang Jianxiong's actions angered the three major sects, and ended up being put under semi-house arrest. Disciples of the three major sects were sent to follow him around the clock to monitor all of Shang Jianxiong's words and deeds, so that he would not be given any chance to act recklessly.

If it weren't for the fear of forcing the royalist faction to jump over the wall due to the consideration of the situation, the three major factions would have overturned Shang Jianxiong and replaced him in a rage.

After the news reached Meng Shanming's ears, Meng Shanming took advantage of the situation and persuaded Gong Lince to cooperate with people from the three major factions to once again control the food and grass in the northern defense line, ordering Shao Dengyun to forcibly take over the distribution.

With the rations in hand, it will be difficult for the northern troops to move around indiscriminately.

So far, the main forces of the Yan State court are all in the hands of Shang Chaozong, and the military power is in his hands. A big battle with Song State is imminent!

All the troops of the Yan Army's Eastern Expedition have been assembled in the Dongyu River area.

Meng Shanming, who arrived at the front of the Dongyu River, continued to inspect along the river bank all the way, met local people hiding in the area and even invited them to eat, so as to ask about the situation on both sides of the river.

Although it wasn't the first time he had attacked the Dongyu River, he still didn't dare to be sloppy. He understood the situation in every way, and the more detailed the better.

Meng Shanming led an army of three million to assemble on the Dongyu River, and has been actively preparing vehicles to cross the river, and may launch an attack at any time. The Song Dynasty court suddenly became tense after receiving the information, because the enemy commander was Meng Shanming, It is the person who left a shadow on Song Guo and is still difficult to erase.

For this reason, Luo Zhao, the governor of the Song Army, also endured a lot of pressure. He was also aware of the situation in the court. Many people said that Luo Zhao had wronged the country and asked the army to retreat. Still attacking in the direction of Yanjing.

Knowing that the three major sects of Yan State have already stood on the side of Shang Chaozong, and knowing that Shang Chaozong has mastered the soldiers and horses of Yan State, the atmosphere on Luo Zhao's side suddenly became tense, and he also had a premonition that the concentrated strength of Shang Chaozong is not It's a display, I'm afraid I'm going to start a decisive battle with him!

"Meng Shuai, it's been three days, we're running out of food, why haven't we launched an attack?"

Meng Shanming, who is sitting in a wheelchair, sits under a flagpole, watching the clouds in the sky and the wind direction of the beacon on the flagpole from time to time.

After Gong Lince came and asked, he really couldn't help it. He knew that the food and grass of the Dongzheng troops would not last for a few days. After the troops were in place, the old man actually took a rest, and he had no intention of attacking for a long time. , Do you have to run out of food and grass to seek death?

Meng Shanming: "Wait a little longer."

Gong Lince: "Waiting for what?"

Meng Shanming: "No hurry, it should be in these two days."

As for the real intention, he refused to reveal it, just because the consequences would be disastrous if the news were leaked.

The news that the Yan army had not attacked for a long time also reached Luo Zhao's ears.

Also in an abandoned inn on the way, Luo Zhao stared at the map on the wall and pondered over and over again, and finally muttered to himself, "What are you waiting for? There is not enough food and grass, what is Meng Shanming waiting for?"

Su Yuanbai, who lingered on the side, said: "I am afraid that he was really caught by the governor. Meng Shanming put on a feint attack posture. He really wanted to attract the governor to turn around and make a quick decision. The governor was not fooled by him, and he also I'm at a loss, now even if I want to chase, I can't catch up with our army, and now I'm on the riverside of the Eastern Region, I'm afraid it's a dilemma."

Luo Zhao stared at the map and shook his head slightly. The big strategy was set by him, and he didn't want to shake the morale of the army by saying disappointing words.

But the change in the situation made him realize that Yan Jun might have made up his mind to attack Song!

Unlike before, Shang Chaozong has fully controlled the main force of Yan State, but he has no intention of fighting him at all. The situation is already precarious for Yan State. How can the three major factions of Yan State sit idly by? It stands to reason that it must be persecuted, but the three major sects are on the side of the Shang Dynasty. What does it mean? It shows that the three major sects have realized that Shang Dynasty Zong has other plans, and have acquiesced.

Then the purpose is obvious, that is, the people who have already gathered on the riverside of the Eastern Region are already obvious, to attack the Song Dynasty!

But he couldn't figure it out, how could it be so easy to break through the heavily defended Dongyu River, what exactly is Meng Shanming waiting for?

He felt that Meng Shanming must have some kind of intention, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but now that he was asked to retreat, he had already run so far, and it seemed too late to go back.

Luo Zhao suddenly turned around, "Another order to the people along the river, must strengthen the defense line along the river, must give me 12 points of caution, must be careful and careful, to prevent the Yan army from attacking! Tell them, whoever dares to make the slightest mistake, will definitely Unforgivable! If you find any abnormality, immediately send a message to me."

"Yes!" The herald took the order and left.

Several people in the hall looked at each other, and they all heard the strong worry in Luo Zhao's words.

Dong Yinglai hesitated and said: "The two million heavy soldiers are guarding against the danger and waiting for work with leisure. The three million heavy soldiers of the Yan Kingdom want to cross the dangerous river and fight, and there is almost no possibility of success. What's more, the governor of the capital planned first, and the ships of all sizes along the river were killed. The governor was pulled to the east of the river, and it was impossible for the three million troops of the Yan army to find so many suitable boats to cross the river in a short period of time. Isn't it a joke to arrange for millions of people to cross the river and kill them with only those rafts? Standing on top of them are just like archery targets!"

We understand the truth, how can Meng Shanming not know? It's hard to explain the worries in Luo Zhao's heart, he can only tell, "Meng Shanming should not be underestimated, be careful!"

This is true, and it is never wrong to be careful, and several people nodded their heads.

Wen You knew Luo Zhao well, and somehow saw something from Luo Zhao's strangeness, and was going to ask when no one was around.

Luo Zhao, who turned around and looked at the map, was smoldering in his heart, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed, and once again cursed Wu Gongling for bad things.

I hate that Wu Gongling shouldn't have diverted the water to the east early, and if it continues to drag on, it will drag down the interior of the Yan State, and it would be great if the Song State sent troops again.

...

The weather has changed and the wind has picked up.

Meng Shanming, who was referring to the map in the Chinese military tent, heard the howling sound of the wind blowing through the gap in the tent, slowly raised his head, looked at the flying curtain, and narrowed his eyes suddenly.

The paper on the case in the tent was blown up and down by the wind, and a sergeant immediately appeared and fixed the curtain.

Meng Shanming gave a deep voice, "Push me out."

Luo Daan, who was reading at the side, immediately put down the book, got up and pushed Meng Shanming out of the tent.

As soon as he got out of the tent, the whistling wind blew up Meng Shanming's clothes, and Meng Shanming's beard flew around.

Meng Shanming raised his head to look at the beacon on the flagpole, and then looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was full of darkness, and thick dark clouds were rolling in.

"It's finally here, it's going to rain!" Meng Shanming muttered.

With such a weather, it was natural that it was going to rain. Before long, the dark clouds filled the sky, and crackling raindrops began to fall.

The surrounding sergeants ran around, except for those on duty, they all ran back to the tent to hide from the rain, and even those on duty quickly raised their shields to cover their heads.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon the sky and the earth were foggy, and there was only the sound of rain.

It's getting dark early...

In South Korea, which is facing Beizhou across the river, the sun is still bright and the army is battling.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the South Korean Grand Sima Jin Jue also stood in front of the map and pondered the war between Yan and Song Dynasties with several generals.

"This Meng Shanming is short of food and grass, but stands still by the river, what the hell is he doing?"

After receiving the news, Jin Jue has been thinking about this matter. He is much stronger than Shang Yongzhong. The battle is imminent, and he will come to the front line to command.

One general said: "Luo Zhao won't attack rashly, he has already left behind. The defense along the river is impenetrable, and he has deployed heavy defenses. Meng Shanming is unlikely to break through. Could it be that he is helpless and pretending there?"

Jin Jue's face is honest, Nian Xu shook his head and said: "Is Meng Shanming a pretender? I fought against him in the past, and suffered from him several times. If there was no mage who helped me escape in time, I would have already died. This person uses soldiers to combine strength and softness, is treacherous and changeable, and has unpredictable abilities. 'Yan Shanming' is by no means a vain name, and should not be underestimated. Luo Zhao has never learned Meng Shanming's methods, so he is so rampant. Big loss!"

Another general said: "Luo Zhao's arrangements are not imprecise. Looking at Luo Zhao's actions when he entered the territory of Yan State, he used troops with great discipline, which is very extraordinary. He fought beautifully. It can be seen that Luo Zhao is not mediocre. Maybe he suffered a disadvantage. , it won’t be a big loss, right?”

Jin Jue shook his head, noncommittal.

At this moment, a document came in, and a letter was presented with both hands, reporting: "My lord, the imperial court has sent a letter to remind you that there is civil strife in Beizhou."

Jin Jue snorted, and took the letter to check. The letter stated that Shang Jianxiong and Shang Chaozong had a serious disagreement. The people from Beizhou almost fought with the people from the Yan Kingdom court. The relationship between the two parties was very tense. The Korean court meant that, Is it possible to send troops here?

After reading the letter, he handed it to the generals for reading. Jin Jue then asked, "What do you think?"

What can the generals think? Seeing that the Song army was rampant in the country of Yan, they couldn't hold back for a long time. One general cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the country of Song has already sent troops. If we send troops again, the country of Yan will perish and we will win." !"

"That's right, my lord. Luo Zhao is staking the land in the country of Yan. Now whoever occupies it belongs to him. We have no reason to want people to spit it out afterwards. It's time to send troops."

After listening to everyone's opinions, Jin Jue still waved his hand, "Shao Dengyun is not an easy person, and the timing is not right, wait a little longer, be more careful, it's better to be more careful."

This is also his reply to the court's opinion.

After the generals left the Chinese army account, some people murmured to their colleagues to vent their dissatisfaction, "If you don't send troops at this time, when will you wait? Do you want to wait until you feel that you have lost the territory and then you can't grab it from the Song army?"

"Hey, don't you know our big Sima? He is famous for being a stable Sima!"
