Chapter 779: Where King Qin's Will Is, Where Our Long Sword Points!
The cold rain is drifting, and the cold wind is howling!
Li Jing and the beautiful princess said goodbye in Ciyiyi, this is the third time to say goodbye, the first time is in the newly built Yufu in Yanjing City. Although the family affairs have been booked, for the time being, Li Jing and Yu Youniang's wedding will have to wait for a few days. Yu Youniang's three uncles' cousins are coming from Chang'an, Jiaozhou, and Guangzhou respectively, and the marriage of Li Jing and Yu's family will be a grand alliance. Li Jing is not only married to Yu Youniang, Yu Xuan's other three brothers will also marry a beautiful daughter each, ostensibly to let Yu Youniang enter the Qin Palace, there are people around her. But in fact, Yu is showing the importance they attach to the alliance in this way.
At the wedding scheduled for May next year, Li Jing will marry the four Yu sisters at one time, and Yu Xuan and Yu Cong will come in person at that time. In addition, Zheng's, Xiao's, Wei's, Pei's, Han's, Cui's and other major valves will also send dowry vessels.
Li Jing built a new mansion for the Yu family in Yanjing City, and Yu Youniang, who had been in the Li family for three years, moved into the Yu mansion, and she will stay here until she gets married in May next year.
Yu Youniang is very happy now, and after three years of hard waiting, she finally waited for happiness.
Li Jing was going to leave again and go to battle, which made her very reluctant. After finally confirming the marriage with Li Jing, she has countless words to say to her lover. She wanted to be with him all the time, her eyes fixed on him at all times.
Li Jing went to the Yu Mansion to say goodbye to her, and under the fragrant plum blossom tree, in front of the slaves and maids in the mansion, she personally put the peace charm she prayed for on his neck. Then, when Li Jing led the team out of the city, she came again. The two held hands in front of the city gate of Yanjing and said goodbye.
And then. When the team had already driven to the bank of the river outside Yanjing City. She rode her horse and chased after her breathlessly, begging Li Jing to take her with her. Now her heart is full of him, and she can't bear to be separated for a moment.
Li Jing was a little emotional, Gongsun Lan watched it from the side, but Li Jing restrained herself.
At the moment, the weather is cloudy and wet, drizzling and the north wind is howling. He did not want the army to stop its advance as soon as it left the city, and he ordered his troops to move on. Then he comforted her affectionately on the side.
Li Jing's words were very gentle, which made Gongsun Lan look slightly sour, and she was jealous in her heart.
The beloved man and other women whispered and loved each other, while the tall silver wolf wandered around, flicking the raindrops from his body from time to time, baring his teeth into the dim sky. Li Jing hugged Yu Youniang in the last place, and then kissed her lightly on her fair forehead, making her shy, and Xia Fei's cheeks. Li Jing ordered a team of guards to escort the future princess back to the city. Then he turned over and got on his horse, and the silver wolf immediately galloped forward to lead the way. Like a trailblazer.
"Princess Yu is really graceful and noble, and she is very compatible with the king!" Li Juyi rode to Wang Pu's side and said to him with a smile. The secretary of the military department and the marquis of Weiguo, Wang Pu, knew the meaning of Li Juyi's words, and deliberately said these words to stimulate himself. Although the two of them are now both ministers of Li Jing, the grievances between Duli Town and Qingni Town have never ended. It's just that now there are two people, one is the secretary of the military department and the marquis of Weiguo, and the other is the governor of Shandong, the master of the army of Konghe, and the marquis of Anguo. One is Li Jing's father-in-law, and the other is Li Jing's nephew, both of whom are one of the nine princes of the Qin Domain, so they usually refrain from it, but if they have the opportunity, they will not miss it.
Li Jing married Yu and married a second wife, which hit Wang Pu's father and daughter the hardest. Wang Pu was hit, Li Juyi was naturally happy, and even came to attack.
"The king and Princess Yu are really a match made in heaven, I see Princess Yu's face, she is definitely a prosperous husband and noble son, and when she gets married in May next year, it is estimated that she will be able to give birth to an heir for the king the year after tomorrow, and when the time comes, our Qin Fan will have a successor."
Wang Pu was riding on a horse, and his heart was really angry, if there was no Yu family, although there was a wife Wang on his daughter. But the Wang family doesn't care about things, and there are no children, the daughter is still the master of the backyard of the Qin Palace, and his eldest nephew is now the king of Lanling County, and in the future, he will definitely be the son of the King of Qin. But now, with Yu's, all this good future is gone. It's like a beautiful bubble that bursts all at once.
Li Juyi was still next to him and said with a smile: "Marquis Weiguo, the marriage between King Qin and the Yu clan is a great joy for the entire Qin Domain, but you are very silent at this time, how do you feel?" ”
"I am happy for the king, and I am married to the Yu family, and my Qin clan is respected by the world, and my prestige is greatly enhanced!" Wang Pu replied with a dark face.
Li Juyi Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, "There are times in life that you must have, and there is no time in life when you force it, Wei Guohou, you want to open up everything, Ha Lu haha!" ”
Wang Pu kicked the horse angrily and galloped, leaving down Li Juyi, who was in schadenfreude. If he could, he really wanted to whip him in the face, Li Lingfu was so crazy back then, but he didn't die in his hands at the end, the little rabbit cub dared to be so crazy about him!
The Qin army attacked again, and Li Jing personally led the troops.
When he sent troops this time, Li Jing announced to the public that he was leading his troops to the north to reinforce the Khitan troops of the Northern Expedition. But in fact, Li Jing is indeed going north this time, but not due north, not northeast, but northwest.
Li Jing did not send troops to Lulongsai, nor did he march to Shanhaiguan, but directly to the military capital in the northwest!
Shatuo Li Keyong's father Li Guochang was assassinated, the murderer behind the scenes pointed directly at Li Quanzhong, Li Keyong united with Wang Jingchong of Chengde Town to send troops to attack Yiwu Town, along the way like a bamboo, Li Quanzhong did not dare to face the battle, on the one hand to Li Jing to ask for reinforcements, on the other hand, has recalled the soldiers and horses of Yiding Erzhou, carrying money, food and equipment, carrying the people of Erzhou, all the way to Zhuozhou hurriedly retreated.
In the face of the Yiwu army that took the initiative to retreat, Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong immediately occupied Yiding Erzhou very unceremoniously, Li Keyong took Yizhou, and Wang Jingchong occupied Dingzhou.
The soldiers and horses of Yanmen Town and the soldiers and horses of Chengde Town have successfully joined forces in Yizhou, and they are reorganizing their soldiers and horses and preparing to attack Zhuozhou directly.
At this critical time, Li Jing sent troops and horses to consolidate the three passes of Hejian and Mozhou, and on the other hand, he sent troops to support the north. But he secretly spread the news, saying that the Northern Expeditionary troops were ambushed by Khitan in the grassland, with heavy casualties, and now tens of thousands of horses are trapped in the grassland, and Li Jing led his troops to rescue.
But in fact, Li Jing, who was supposed to go to the grassland to save the emergency. But in the middle of the road, he suddenly turned northwest at night. Straight to the military capital.
Li Quanzhong led the Yiwu army to retreat without a fight. The retreat into Zhuozhou did surprise Li Jing, and even disrupted Li Jing's deployment. However, Li Jing then adjusted his strategy, and did not immediately send troops south to seize Yiding Erzhou as Li Quanzhong expected, but only sent troops to strengthen the defense of Moying Erzhou, and then suddenly led his troops to the north.
"Li Quanzhong has already guessed our strategic intentions, he doesn't want to be cannon fodder, he is very smart and decisive to give up Yiding Erzhou, and retreat to Zhuozhou with his men. To the south of Zhuozhou is the second state of Moying. To the north is Youzhou, and Li Quanzhong withdrew here just to let us block the Chengde and Yanmen coalition forces for him. Moreover, at this time, Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong's army is current, and it is not suitable for us to annex Zhuozhou at this time. This Li Quanzhong is very cunning! When Li Jing heard Li Quanzhong's movements, he immediately judged this guy's reaction, and said to the staff officers of the General Staff with a sneer.
Li Jing did not agree with the plan proposed by the General Staff to simply annex Zhuozhou immediately. The desperate Li Quanzhong may turn against Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong. Even if it weren't, before the war with Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong. It is also a little unwise to fight Li Quanzhong, who has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, he adjusted his strategic direction.
"Although there is a bit of chaos on Li Quanzhong's side, our overall expectation is still not wrong, now we don't care about this side for now, and directly send troops to the army, they fight theirs, we fight ours. Li Keyong left Yanmen with tens of thousands of troops, had crossed the Taihang Mountain, and scattered in the cities of Yizhou. ”
In the face of the 100,000 allied forces of Yanmen and Chengde, Li Jing dared to treat them as nothing, and he also had to take away the army to counterattack Yanmen. But this is completely in line with Li Jing's usual style, mobilizing the enemy, and then striking at it.
At present, the response of the Qin army, if Li Keyong continues to attack, he will either cross Mo Ying and attack Li Quanzhong in Zhuozhou, or directly attack Mo Ying. If he attacks Li Quanzhong, then Li Quanzhong has to resist, otherwise there will be no scum left to be swallowed. If he does this, then he will eventually have to fight with Chengde Yanmen, and return to the original plan of the Qin army. Or, Li Keyong directly attacked Moying Erzhou, but if the Qin army only defended but did not attack, then with the danger of the heavy city between the river and the three passes of Mozhou, with the defense of the attack, although the Chengde and Yanmen armies had 100,000 people, they did not have much advantage.
And if they really dare to attack Mo Ying Erzhou directly, then the Qin army can completely attract them to Hebei, and as soon as the war is fought, Li Jing will lead the army to counterattack the Xinru Prefectures outside the capital of the army, and Li Keyong will not be able to rescue.
The Qin army's plan has the strength as a guarantee, Hejian and Mozhou three passes have been operating for nearly a year, long ago not the original few passes, now this city three passes are extremely dangerous, the entire depth of the defense circle has been added, and in the two states of Moying, there are 60,000 soldiers and horses, which can completely confront the 100,000 coalition troops of Yanmen and Chengde. And Li Jing dispatched 50,000 soldiers and horses to counterattack Yanmen this time, but there were not many soldiers and horses left behind in Yanmen Town, as the four states of Furu and Xinwu at the forefront of the front, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses. Moreover, the defenders have no generals, but Li Keyong's younger brother Li Kexiu is the main general.
The core area of Yanmen Town, Wei, Dai, and Xin Prefectures has Li Keyong's wife Liu in charge, which is a woman that Li Jing admires very much. In the hall, the war horse ridden, can not only be a female worker, but also can carry a knife to slash, it is simply an amazing woman. According to the report of the Military Intelligence Department, this strange woman now has a 10,000-horse directly subordinate women's cavalry unit, and Li Keyong also left him 20,000 Daibei Hu cavalry, and another 20,000 Han army auxiliaries.
This is a force that cannot be underestimated, although it is a woman leading the way in Yanmen, Li Jing will never despise such a brave woman.
However, Li Jing didn't have to worry about attacking Li Kexiu, and Liu could lead the army to come to the rescue. Because Li Jing attaches great importance to the Liu family, he has already made arrangements in advance for this time to arrange a better opponent for the Liu family.
Li Jing sent troops this time, and he had no arrogant plan to destroy Yanmen Town in one battle. Facing the couple of Li Keyong and Liu, and facing Sha Tuo, a group of tough Hu Qi, Li Jing's goal is a little conservative. In this operation, Li Jing's combat expectation was to take the new Confucian concubine and the new four states outside the military capital and control the barrier northwest of Yanjing in his hands.
Under the leadership of the army masters, Li Jing's team stretched for several miles, the vanguard was the Marquis of Anguo, the righteous nephew Li Juyi who re-controlled the crane cavalry, this cavalry unit was not all composed of the children of the Han family who were born in good shapes like the Shengjie army, and the crane army was now half of the Han after several reorganizations, and then the Husmen cavalry troops composed of the Uighurs, Goguryeo, Silla, Yaya, Murwei, Tatars, Xi, Tuyuhun, Turkic, Tiele, and even Tubo, Sogdian, and other tribes Hu cavalry.
Li Jing and Gongsun Lan then had a large number of ministers with the army such as Wang Pu, Gai Yu, and Li Liang in the middle army, including the Jinjia Shengjie Army, the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army, the Touri Army, the Gongsheng, and the Black Flag Army. They were followed by engineering troops, baggage troops, numerous wagons, donkey carts, mule carts, and wheelbarrows loaded with canned food, forage, food, and medical supplies, as well as gun wagons, ballistas, and artillery throwing equipment. These troops were protected by Gao Siji and Wang Yanzhang leading their cavalry behind the palace.
Behind them was a large herd, a supply of goats, cattle and other supply animals, as well as a group of merchants and prostitutes who accompanied the army, like birds that cleaned the food scraps from the crocodile's teeth. Wherever the army goes, these traders and prostitutes will follow, except in the case of a hasty march or a special surprise march. In addition to the caravan's own guards, there were also the Boy Scouts over the age of 12 from the military academy who were specially following this time, and these five thousand Scouts were specially involved in this march, and they served as the guards of the caravan and the brothel camp, and went to the battlefield for the first time to open up and enrich their experience and make better tempering for the future.
In addition to these traders, prostitutes, and apprentice scouts, it was 30,000 soldiers who were really tasked with the war. Among the 30,000 soldiers, many of them experienced the naval battle of Dengzhou, the battle of southern Liaoning, the battle of Goguryeo in eastern Liaoning, the battle of Khitan in western Liaoning, the battle of Daibei Shatuo, the battle of grass thieves in the Central Plains, the battle of Zhuzhen in Hebei, the battle between Jianghuai and Huai and Qi army, they were all the elite of the Qin army, and they were the core of the Qin army.
Ahead, in their eyes, is just another stupid enemy who does not measure himself and dares to block the car with his mantis arm!
At noon, the rain continued to rain and flow.
The young soldiers who participated in the real march for the first time were exhausted, but although their bodies were tired, the hearts of these young soldiers who really stepped on the battlefield for the first time were boiling and blood was suddenly excited.
While walking on the muddy road, they were still singing military songs and shouting battle horns. Their ranks were so neat that the rain drenched their robes, but it couldn't douse the burning blood in their breasts!
A boy scout officer with a young face rode his horse past the marching procession, stopped on the dirt slope beside the road, waved his young but powerful arms to his companions, and shouted: "Keep in formation, keep going, brothers, we are the Scouts, the Scouts of the King of Qin." We will always remember that where the will of King Qin goes, it is what our long sword points to! ”
The marching teenagers immediately shouted neatly: "Where the will of King Qin is, what our long sword points to!" ”
The loud and passionate voice passed through the drizzle, cut through the sky, and was transmitted directly to the Chinese army in front, Li Jing also heard this passionate cry on his horse, he listened attentively, and his face showed an extremely happy expression! (To be continued......)
