Chapter 691: Meng Shanming Is Finally About to Strike Ruthlessly
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Gong Lince was the first to say in a deep voice, "Meng Shuai, are you joking?"
Xu Jingyue smiled awkwardly, "Meng Shuai, Da'an still has a long way to go, so don't be in a hurry."
Zhang Hu pointed it out directly, "Commander, Da'an has no combat experience at all. Talking about war on paper and actually fighting are two different things. How can such a big war be entrusted to him to command? It's too childish!"
Faced with a lot of opposition, Meng Shanming understood that even with his own prestige, he couldn't help Luo Da'an in one step, and the people below refused to accept it.
He just said tentatively, looking at everyone's reaction, the feedback he got made him make up his mind that Luo Daan was no longer suitable to stay by his side, and he was going to find an opportunity to throw Luo Daan to the bottom...
As the Song army gradually approached Yanjing, and the changes in the Dongyujiang war, the Yan army won successive battles to stabilize the hearts of the princes. After Meng Shanming contacted the Shang Chaozong with letters, the 100,000 cavalry of the Shang Dynasty began to move.
The Nanzhou 100,000 cavalry who had been sitting still began to approach the army led by Luo Zhao.
When he heard the news, Luo Zhao was marching with the army on horseback, and there was movement from the Nanzhou troops who had not been moving, which made Luo Zhao fall into deep thought.
After careful consideration, Luo Zhao looked around at the mighty marching army, and ordered: "The forward troops speed up, keep a distance from the main force, and lure the Shang dynasty to attack."
He was going to give an opening to lure the Shang Dynasty Zong to attack. Once the Shang Dynasty Zong took the bait, his main force immediately circled around from both sides...
"Your Majesty, the 100,000 cavalry of Shang Dynasty Zong are moving towards the Song Army, and seem to have the intention of attacking the Song Army!"
In the Yanjing Imperial Palace, Tian Yu, the chief executive who received the news, quickly reported the news to Shang Jianxiong.
Shang Jianxiong was overjoyed when he heard the news, he stood up abruptly from behind the case, and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
Tian Yu: "There's nothing wrong with it. I didn't believe it at first, but I've already confirmed that Nanzhou's 100,000 cavalry are indeed approaching the Song army."
The Song army was rampant in the territory of Yan State, and the vanguard had been marching at a speed of two hundred miles a day, quickly approaching Yanjing, which had already made Yanjing panic, and the voice of abandoning Yanjing and evacuating was growing louder.
At this time, the Nanzhou people rushed to help, which made Shang Jianxiong see hope. He was pleasantly surprised and said: "Pass the decree to Shang Chaozong, as long as he can stop the Song army, the widow is willing to grant him the position of Grand Sima!"
Tian Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at the monks beside him, hesitated to speak, did he really want to give the position of Da Sima to Shang Chaozong?
After meeting Shang Jianxiong's meaningful eyes, Tian Yu suddenly realized that he understood that this was to encourage Shang Chaozong. As for whether to give it afterwards, are they afraid that those people in the court will not find an excuse to stop it?
"Yes!" Tian Yu immediately complied.
However, the reality disappointed Shang Jianxiong. The position of Da Sima seemed to be unable to impress Shang Chaozong at all. The Nanzhou troops did approach the Song army, but they kept following them, and had no intention of intercepting and attacking the Song army.
Luo Zhao was also disappointed, no matter what flaws he showed, Shang Chaozong just remained indifferent and followed him unmoved.
This feeling made Luo Zhao very uncomfortable. Song Jun seemed to have become a piece of fat, and Shang Chaozong was like a hungry wolf, always staring at the edge, but it came and went like the wind, which was helpless.
...
"Your Majesty, the 500,000 forward troops of the Song Army are only five days away from our capital at most, and the 200,000 defenders on the capital's side may be difficult to stop."
"Your Majesty, the capital cannot be defended. Let's retreat! If you don't retreat, it will be too late. If it is too late, you may not be able to escape the pursuit of the Song army. You must retreat first and keep a certain safe distance."
"The walls of my capital are towering, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Is it true that 200,000 people can't defend?"
"Your Majesty, 500,000 people are just the forward troops of the Song Army. Once the capital is besieged, the follow-up troops of the Song Army will not be able to defend it. Even if they can hold it, the supplies to Beijing will be cut off. With such a large population in the capital, how can they hold on?" How long? Without reinforcements, we can't hold it!"
"Your Majesty, once the Song army breaks through the capital, it will be a catastrophe!"
"Are you really going to let the widow abandon the people in the capital and escape? If you really want to leave the people and flee, what face does the widow have to face the people of Dayan?"
This is a conversation between Shang Jianxiong and several important ministers in the Imperial Study Room. Evacuation is inevitable. The key to the problem is who will stay in the capital.
It is impossible to hand over Yanjing to the Song army without doing any guard actions. If that is the case, the emperor Shang Jianxiong will not do it, he will be sprayed to death by the spit stars.
Not only had to guard, but also had to have an important official to sit in charge. It would be too perfunctory to let an unworthy official guard the capital, so what is the difference from handing over?
Which important minister will be left to guard the capital? This topic is very heavy, and it is difficult to decide at the moment. What Shang Jianxiong means is to let the ministers discuss it by themselves.
After the ministers left, Shang Jianxiong slumped back on the chair and called softly, "Tian Yu."
"The old slave is here." Tian Yu stepped forward.
Shang Jianxiong almost murmured: "There are too many women in the harem. If you abandon your subjects and bring a group of women with you when you evacuate, it is scary!"
Tian Yu understood that there were servants serving those women, and bowed: "Yes, there are countless women in the army. They can't walk, and it's not good for the morale of the army."
Shang Jianxiong: "Create a list of the harem to evacuate together, you can decide for yourself."
Tian Yu tried to ask: "How many nobles are suitable to take away?" He can make a list, but he can't decide how many people to take away.
Shang Jianxiong asked back: "Ten? Thirty?"
Tian Yu looked at him, hesitant to speak, and there were more than ten children who had given birth to the emperor.
Shang Jianxiong himself seems to have realized that something is wrong. If there are fewer belts, it’s not that he needs those women, but that the family background behind many women is not easy to offend. People’s fathers and brothers are working for you or guarding one side. Daughter abandoned?
In the end, he sighed himself and changed his words, "Keep it within a hundred people!"
"Yes!" Tian Yu responded, and tried to ask again, "How do other nobles arrange it?"
Shang Jianxiong closed his eyes, did not speak, and seemed to fall asleep leaning on the chair.
Not speaking is an attitude, Tian Yu's heart trembled, and she understood that it is impossible for the emperor's woman to fall into the hands of the enemy and be desecrated.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, that's just a folk saying, Shang Jianxiong doesn't want to get so many women that he doesn't have the energy to get in touch with, but there are still hundreds of them.
There are hundreds of beauties in the harem, all of whom are the emperor's women. Tian Yu's heart is heavy, and this villain can only be done by him!
...
Yanjing fell into panic, and Luo Zhao, who was resting from the army, stood in front of the map, and also fell into great anxiety.
The Yan soldiers and horses who invaded the territory of the Song Dynasty were walking Wu Qunlie's Jiangfang troops around like dogs. This is very abnormal!
"Governor, there's news from Wu Qunlie." Wen You, who walked in quickly outside the post station, came in and greeted him.
Luo Zhao was indifferent to the map, staring at the map and asked coldly: "Have you found out the situation of the enemy's food and grass?"
Wen You: "I found out that the enemy's horses and horses are in motion, and they are easy to observe. They are no different from what the governor expected. They won't last long."
Luo Zhao stared at the map and gritted his teeth: "What the hell is Meng Shanming doing?"
Wen You understood what he meant. Before, it was Meng Shanming who wanted to walk here, because he knew that Meng Shanming didn't have much food and grass, and wanted to consume him to death. Now the situation is reversed, and Meng Shanming is walking the crows instead. Fierce men and horses.
The crux of the problem lies in Meng Shanming's food and grass. It is obvious that the food and grass are not enough, but if it is still consumed like this, is it courting death? It's not normal, it's not normal! The chief governor's uneasiness stems from this, and he has recently paid close attention to the situation of Wu Qunlie's Jiangfang troops and Meng Shanming's troops.
Su Yuanbai on the side tried to ask, "Are you playing tricks?"
Luo Zhao turned around and asked, "As the commander-in-chief, does Elder Su think it's possible to use the lives of more than two million people to make a fool of himself?"
Because of this, he really realized the benefits of Meng Shanming, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Su Yuan had a greasy taste: "But what is Yan Jun going around like this?"
Luo Zhao turned his head and stared at the map, "One thing is for sure, he must be trying to annihilate our Jiangfang main forces, and it is difficult for him to make a difference in the territory of the Song Dynasty without smoothing out Jiangfang's troops. Wen You, remind Wu Qunlie again, We must spread out spies, pay close attention to the movements of every member of the Yan army, and must maintain a certain safe distance, and never give the Yan army the opportunity to kill! Also, let him report the movements of the armies of the enemy and us every hour, I want to keep track of the situation of the armies on both sides."
...
In Qi State, the Fenglei Hall is brightly lit.
A chair was placed in front of the map, where Huyan Wuhen sat facing the map all night.
The butler of Huyan's family, Zha Hu, came in, stood beside Huyan Wuhen, glanced at the map, and said with a smile: "The general stayed up all night again, this map is almost obvious to you, as for that? Eat something and rest."
It stands to reason that servants are not allowed to enter this important place of military aircraft, but he is an exception, Hao Yuntu personally approved it.
Huyan Wuhen glanced at him, stood up, walked to the map, and tapped on a position with his fingers, "Crossing the river, there is room for display, Meng Shanming is finally going to be ruthless, Song Guo this Maybe they will be beaten down by Meng Shanming, and the Jiangfang troops of Song State will be completely wiped out!"
"Qunluo Mountain Range?" Zha Hu walked to the map and looked at it, and asked, "Do you want to fight here?"
Huyan Wuhen nodded: "Meng Shanming is indeed a top expert in strategy and tactics. The mobilization of people and horses is really wonderful. The movement that almost blinds people is just a trick to confuse Song Jun. At present, Luo Zhao is not If you haven't seen through Meng Shanming's attempt, even if you react now, it's probably too late, and the good show is about to be staged!"
Zha Hu snorted, somewhat surprised, and said: "Didn't Luo Zhao fight Yingyang Wuliewei back then? I heard that even with few enemies, he was able to retreat unscathed. Why is it so unbearable?"
Huyan Wuhen snorted coldly, "That depends on who he is facing. At that time, Meng Shanming had retired, and there were no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys were just kings. This time he was facing a real tiger. People are not opponents of the same level at all, Luo Zhao is young and vigorous, and he has been full of vigor all these years, this time I am afraid that he will be ruthless!"
