Chapter 20: Counterinsurgency (3)
Quickly deal with the rebels in the royal city," Wen Bufan said to Jiang Lin. Then he looked into the distance and said, "What about the news outside the city?"
"There's no news from outside the city yet. It's estimated that it's going to be soon," Tao Zijie on the side said.
As he was talking, a fast horse galloped directly in front of Wen Bufan from far and near, and the knight threw himself off his horse and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the eight hundred miles of the North and South Yue Kingdom are urgent."
Wen Bufan's face became a little heavy when he saw it.
"What's wrong," Isabel asked with the Holy Maiden Xiyue.
"It's worse than we thought," Wen Bufan finished speaking, handing the urgent letter to the Holy Maiden Xiyue.
The letter said that a large number of unnamed armed forces had suddenly appeared on the southwestern side of the handover between the North and the South of Vietnam, and Yu Qing'an had already sent people to keep an eye on them.
"I guess it's already started at this time," Wen Bufan said.
"We should do something," said the Holy Maiden.
"How many troops can be sent by Wang Cheng?" Wen Bufan asked as he looked at Tao Zijie.
"This, General Yuan took 80,000 horses, General Han took 50,000, and now there are less than 100,000 people who can be mobilized, but these 100,000 are those who stayed in the royal city," Tao Zijie said.
Han Ziming went to the Northern Hu Kingdom, in order to prevent accidents, Wen Bufan asked Yuan Zhaoyong and Pei Shuai to divide the troops, Yuan Zhaoyong went to the West Chi Kingdom, originally Wen Bufan did not want to move Sui Shang's army, but considering that the national strength of the Northern Hu State was not damaged, if the troops were raised this time, it was bound to transfer the army that originally confronted those tree people to the south, and the defense of the north would be very difficult at that time, so it was still said that Sui Shang's army was transferred to the north. He also transferred Yuan Zhaoyong to the border between the Western Chi Kingdom and the North Yue Kingdom. Pei Shuai went to the country of South Vietnam. Originally, it was thought that Pei Shuai's reinforcements and Yu Qing'an's defenders could completely suppress the rebels of North and South Vietnam, but judging from Yu Qing'an's letters, the mysterious armed force at the junction of North and South Vietnam seems to be quite numerous.
"There are still generals in the royal city," Wen Bufan asked.
"Jiang Lin is the only senior general now," Tao Zijie said.
"Divide 50,000 troops with Jiang Lin, let him rush to the aid of Nanyue, and leave the matter here to the guard battalion," Wen Bufan said.
"It's a little far away from South Vietnam, so it's better to send the troops from the south to help," Tao Zijie said.
"The army in the south cannot move, first, because they have not really been on the battlefield, and second, if they move, it will inevitably break the silence in the south. And they did not move. Wen Bufan said.
"It's just that these 50,000 troops, once the royal city changes, how can it be good," Tao Zijie said.
"Master Tao, be relieved, I'm here," Wen Bufan said with a smile.
Jiang Lin led the 50,000 defenders of the royal city to rush to Nanyue. Five days later, the army of the Northern Hu Kingdom also appeared on the edge of the Gudra Desert.
Rebel armies of varying numbers also appeared in various parts of the North and South Vietnamese, and eventually converged into three larger forces. Under the encirclement and interception of Yuan Zhaoyong, Pei Shuai, Yu Qing'an, Jiang Lin and others, these three forces were blocked in the southern part of North Vietnam and several mountains in the north of South Vietnam. These three forces are hidden in different places, and they echo each other in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the official army.
Judging from the news sent back by Yu Qing'an, the leaders of these three rebel forces are all members of the original royal family of North and South Yue, including Situ Ming, the king of Nanyi of Beiyue, Situ Yiming, the king of Beijing, and Duan Jinshuo, the king of Pingzhang of Wang Nanyue. Among them, Duan Jinshuo, the king of Pingzhang of Nanyue, was the most powerful, with an army of 100,000 and more than 100 generals in the Qi'an Mountain area in the northwest of Nanyue. Pei Shuai and Jiang Lin's 90,000 soldiers and horses confronted it.
The two armies of the North Yue Kingdom, each with 30,000 or 40,000 men, were separated by Yuan Zhaoyong and Yu Qing'an in the Wushan Mountains in the south-west of the North Yue Kingdom. According to the strategy formulated in advance, Yu Qing'an planned to eliminate the two rebel forces of North Vietnam first, and then concentrate on eliminating Duan Jinshuo's army. However, the terrain in this Wushan mountain range is complicated, and the rebels have not been able to find the location of the rebels after several encirclements and suppressions, but have been ambushed by the rebels several times
Yuan Zhaoyong and Yu Qingan didn't have a good way for a while.
"The war between North and South Vietnam is not going very well." The Holy Maiden Xiyue looked at Wen Bufan and said, "What are your plans?"
"Fighting in the mountains is not an easy task, and I have already informed Yuan Zhaoyong and them so that they can prepare for a long-term battle. Let's see who can survive whom," Wen Bufan said.
"The Northern Hu Kingdom is even more strange, it is clear that they have already passed through the Gudra Desert, but there is no large-scale attack, Feng Yong and Sui Shang have sent troops several times, and the army of the Northern Hu Kingdom has actually withdrawn to the desert." Saint Xiyue said.
"Han Ziming is not acting rashly," Wen Bufan said.
"If you haven't suffered a loss, don't you have a long memory," said the holy Maiden Xiyue.
"Don't care about them on the Beihu side, as long as they don't let them loot on our borders, they can't grab food, so they rely on transporting from the north of the Gudra Desert to hold on to how long they can," Wen Bufan said.
"Also, there is no need to strengthen the manpower here in Wangcheng, there are less than 50,000 people left here," said the Holy Maiden Xiyue.
"50,000 people are enough, there is no movement in the West Chi Kingdom and the Treasure Elephant Kingdom," Wen Bufan said.
"No, they're quiet." Saint Xiyue said.
"That's good. Tomorrow, let's lift the guard of the royal city, it's not good to be so panicked. Wen Bufan said.
This time, there were rebels in Donglai City, and more than 1,000 houses were damaged in the city, and thousands of people were killed and wounded. These days, the city of Donglai has been under martial law, and the guard battalion is everywhere in the city to hunt down rebels.
"It's fine." Saint Xiyue said.
After returning to the palace, Wen Bufan looked at Isabel and said, "Tomorrow, you go back to Yanjing City, tell Changping that the matter here is almost over, and let her act according to the plan." ”
"You're not going back with me," Isabel said.
"I can't walk, and I have to walk around the city all the time." Wen Bufan said with a smile.
"Then you pay more attention to safety." Isabel said with concern.
"Don't worry, it's still safe now," Wen Bufan said with a smile.
At the same time, on an unknown hill outside Donglai City, several people wearing black cloaks quietly looked at Donglai City.
One of them said: "Martial law in the city of Dong Lae has stopped. ”
"Well, it's a day earlier than expected, are you all ready," said one of the people at the front.
"There are still some that will not arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest." The man who spoke before said.
"Don't be in a hurry, we can't go in together, let's go in first first, don't move around after entering, wait for orders," said the man at the front.
"Yes," several people behind him said at the same time.
"Go," said the man at the front.
"A few people stepped back." The rest of the man, looking in the direction of Donglai City, his eyes were full of longing
