Chapter 242: The best policy

The emperor shook his head and said to Concubine Ping, "If he doesn't wake up for a day, then I won't let him out." Forget it, I came to you, not for his business, your baby is going to ask Ying to go to the bandits of Yilong Mountain, what do you think? ”

"Wen Jun is also for the country, but Yilong Mountain is not easy to attack, Wen Jun himself has not led troops, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to defeat this Yilong Mountain."

"He is now a well-known wise man in the world, but there is no need to go to Yilong Mountain for fame. I thought about it and decided to give him this chance. ”

"Didn't the sage already entrust the four princes and the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo to work together to exterminate Wei Wei in the East China Sea?"

"The fourth person, I can't guess his thoughts, but he doesn't even want to go to Cheng Zhixiao's place, let alone exterminate Wei Wei. He, like the Wang Changjun of the previous dynasty, wants to be a thief and self-respecting. It's a pity that I am not Emperor Wei Cheng, and he is not willing to go all out to encircle and suppress, so I will choose another person. ”

When Concubine Ping heard this, she cautiously tried to say: "But Wen Jun is acting like this, I'm afraid that Concubine Xian will have opinions, if Concubine Xian doesn't help Wen Jun, it will still be a little difficult for Wen Jun to deal with Yi Longshan." ”

"With you out on the horse, what do you have to worry about? You've been planning in the palace for so long, aren't you going to try it yourself? ”

Concubine Ping smiled and said to the emperor: "If the concubine goes out on the expedition, it is inevitable that the labor will move the people, and the concubine will take hundreds of horsemen, and when the time comes, the three counties will be ordered, and Wen Jun will be in command to exterminate this group of rebels." ”

The emperor nodded and said to Concubine Ping: "I don't need to issue an edict, just a rebellion, I still have to issue an edict, wouldn't it make future generations laugh." ”

Concubine Ping said Wei, and then the emperor said goodbye.

Concubine Ping immediately asked people to pack up, and early the next morning, Concubine Ping took a hundred horses out of the palace gate and arrived at the Nine Emperors' Mansion.

After Concubine Ping arrived, she rode into the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and the Nine Emperors heard the servant's announcement, wearing a middle coat and a gauze robe, so he walked out and said to Concubine Ping: "The son has seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." ”

"Give you a quarter of an hour, put on your armor, ride your horse, and go hunting with me."

The Nine Emperors said a word, and immediately went to put on the armor, and then with a bow and arrows and a sword, they rode a horse and joined Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping looked at the guards beside the Nine Emperor Princes and said, "You just stay in the mansion, Wen Jun, let's go." ”

Saying that, Concubine Ping took the Nine Emperor Princes out of the city and went in the direction of Yilong Mountain.

The Nine Emperor Princes asked, "Queen Mother, do you want you to go out in person this time?" ”

"This palace is just here to hunt, and the matter of going on an expedition is yours."

Concubine Ping said this, and the Nine Emperors understood.

When a group of them arrived in Yucheng, they first went to the Yucheng Post Station to rest, and then Concubine Ping asked a female soldier to notify the magistrate and the regimental training.

The magistrate knew the news of Concubine Ping's arrival, and his whole body trembled with fright, and he immediately came to the post house in court clothes.

Entering the post house and arriving at the innermost room, the magistrate saw Tuan Lian kneeling aside, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Junior minister Zhao Zhimin, I have seen Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Jin'an." ”

"No need to be polite, you immediately write a letter and hand it to the other two magistrates, so that they can send soldiers and join you to suppress the bandits in Yilong Mountain."

When the magistrate heard this, he shuddered in fright, and said to Concubine Ping: "Niangniang, the three county army is less than 10,000 people, and the gang of rebels in Yilongshan is very strong, and the ministers have been encircled and suppressed several times, but they have not succeeded. "Zhixian's words are half-true, Ye Ying's troops are indeed strong, but repeated encirclement and suppression is a lie, Zhixian is when he took office, he went to encircle and suppress it, and then was taught a hard lesson by Ye Ying, and he has never been there since.

Concubine Ping snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Zhixian, do you think that when the palace is here, it will not be able to exterminate this gang of bandits?" ”

Zhao Zhimin hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, saying that he naturally believed that Concubine Ping was coming, and it was easy to exterminate this group of thieves, but as the magistrate, he had to tell the thieves the truth, lest the mother blame herself for not saying it at that time. 35xs

Concubine Ping asked Zhao Zhimin to immediately transfer the army, and then trained with the regiment to the barracks to see the Xiang army.

When the regimental training and Concubine Heping arrived at the barracks, she immediately made the box army anxious, there were more than 2,000 box troops in this rain city, including 300 cavalry, 200 archers, and the others were sword soldiers and shield soldiers.

Except for the cavalry and archers, the other soldiers usually farmed the land and came to participate in training after the farm was over, and the imperial court did not provide food, but did not collect taxes from them.

Originally, there were more than 1,000 people, but those 1,000 people came only after the service, and now it is the day of sowing, so naturally they are not here.

Concubine Ping didn't care about the more than 1,000 people who served, anyway, those people were also full.

The regiment practiced to the general platform, and then began to let these soldiers practice, these soldiers were depressed, how could they practice for no reason.

Concubine Ping stood aside and watched, only to see Tuanlian waving the flag, these orderly attackers.

After they finished their demonstration, Concubine Ping nodded, and the regimental training breathed a sigh of relief, and then Concubine Ping lived in the barracks, waiting for the soldiers from the other two counties to arrive.

That night, after dinner, Concubine Ping said to the Nine Emperors: "It seems that the Xiang army in various places can still be used, Wen Jun, you remember, no matter what happens in the future, after you arrive at the fiefdom, you must urge the local Xiang army to practice." Although these armies cannot be used by you, they are also a barrier to protect you. The reason why the Wei Dynasty fell was because it only focused on the forbidden army and ignored the government army. The dynasty cannot repeat the mistakes of the Wei dynasty. ”

The Nine Emperors said yes, and then said to Concubine Ping: "This little person doesn't seem to be able to deal with Yilong Mountain, my father once said that if you want to conquer Yilong Mountain, you must have 30,000 people." ”

"Your father knows what to fight, he also knew some art of war when he was young, and later he knew that regardless of death or injury, he just broke eggs with stones." Concubine Ping said this, sneered, and then said again: "You have to use your brains to fight, you don't care about anything, just fight in one go, so naturally you need a lot of soldiers." But now to deal with Yilong Mountain, there is no need to be so troublesome. ”

Hearing Concubine Ping's words, the Nine Emperor Princes said to Concubine Ping: "I don't know how you are going to break this cottage Queen Mother?" ”

"Now this palace has three strategies, and this strategy is that we recruit them, presumably this group of people will surrender part of them when they see us coming, so it won't take so many people to break through this cottage. The middle strategy is to surround it, let the entire cottage be cut off from food, and when the food is gone, they will naturally surrender. ”

"This strategy doesn't seem to be very feasible, they are all Wei rebels, and they have long wanted to be loyal ministers, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in persuading them to surrender. If the middle strategy is just a siege, it will be protracted, and after a long time, it will be laughed at. ”

Concubine Ping nodded, and then said to the Nine Emperor Princes, "What season is it now?" ’

"Midsummer."

"By the time the Xiang army arrives, it will already be Mengxia, and it hasn't been long since this cold food, you should understand."

After Concubine Ping finished speaking, the Nine Emperors said a word of kindness, and then asked, "But this will cost a lot of materials, right?" ”

"What is this compared to the dead? You go and get people to prepare. ”

The Nine Emperors nodded, and on the first day of the sixth month, the Xiang army of the three counties went to Yilong Mountain with supplies.

Because Concubine Ping's arrival was extremely confidential news, Yilongshan didn't take it seriously, they thought that it was all because the magistrate came to suppress the bandits again for the sake of meritorious service, so they didn't take it to heart.

After the Xiang army arrived, the Nine Emperor Princes asked them to start surrounding Yilong Mountain, which was originally not big, with six thousand Xiang troops, as well as family members temporarily transferred from the squires in the city, enough to surround a water leak.

When the siege was encircled, these armies began to build fortifications, and it seemed that they were preparing for a long siege.

Ye Yingguo also tried to rush and kill, but they were all stopped, and Ye Yingguo also learned that there were a hundred shooters in this army, and it was almost uncommon. These people suppressed the formation first, and the Wei army couldn't kill it. Fortifications were set up on the Yilong Mountain Road, which restricted the soldiers from rushing down the mountain.

Ye Lingyu knew in his heart that it was not good, but there was no way, at most five or six hundred people rushed down the mountain at a time, if the original Xiang army would have panicked when they saw this formation, and now they went to organize to resist.

When the encirclement was formed, Ye Linglu was also ready to give up this family business, but he thought that if he gave up his family business because of this, let the Xiang army go up the mountain, and destroy these fortifications, it would be difficult for him to get it.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, the fortifications of the Yu army had been completed, and on the night of the seventh day of the first month, the northwest wind blew in the sky, and Concubine Ping couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then handed over all the archers together, and then also prepared the catapult.

Next, the rockets were in the air, and the endless stream of rockets made Concubine Ping let them shoot 50,000 rockets, as well as more than 100 fireballs wrapped in flammable materials.

These fireballs fell to the ground, shattering the dirt inside, allowing oil to leak out, adding fuel to the fire, and the trees were already dry in the summer.

Suddenly, the entire Yilong Mountain turned into a sea of fire, and this sea of fire slowly expanded, surrounding the entire Yilong Mountain.

When Concubine Ping saw this scene, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When Ye Linggu saw the rocket, she knew Concubine Ping's strategy, and secretly thought that this time Yu Jun was vicious, at that time, Ye Tianfeng persuaded her that the fire could not be burned, and they could continue to fight against Yu Jun with this cottage made of stone.

Ye Linglu did not make a mistake again this time, and took a few martial arts masters, taking advantage of the fact that the fire did not burn, and escaped from the back mountain.

Many people in the Xiang Army didn't know that this time was going to be like this, so they were stunned, so that Ye Linggu and them had a chance.

The news that Ye Linggu and other four or five people were killed was known by Concubine Ping, but Concubine Ping didn't care, now that most of Wei Wei was dead, what did a few people care about.

Concubine Ping asked these archers to return to their posts again, and if any enemy broke through, they would all be shot now.
