Chapter 221: A Great Victory Outside the Fortress
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the mountains are reflected.
A force cautiously groped its way forward along the shadow of the mountain peak, everyone silent, the horses' hooves wrapped in thick cotton cloth, the horses' mouths covered with horse chews, and the ranks of thousands of men stretched out nearly ten miles long.
Bypassing the foot of the mountain, there is a plain in front of you, and under the moonlight, the dark camp tent in the distance is impressive.
The order came out in a low voice, and the entire army quietly stopped, and two falcons flew quietly.
The army is silent, like a beast hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
As the night wore on, the team remained quiet, orders were passed down quietly, and the team began to move, quietly moving forward.
The sky lit up with a hint of fish belly white, and the team walked out of the mountain recess and lined up in a neat queue at the foot of the mountain.
The general in the red robe was at the forefront of the line, slowly walking back and forth along the queue, and then turned his horse forward and slowly moved forward.
The whole procession began to move forward, the horses' hooves were slight, and the ground was silent.
Slowly, approaching the camp, the camp of the Xianbei people is very simple, there is no wall, only a simple low fence.
The sentry was awakened by the inexplicable tremor, he looked up blankly, and finally found the source of the tremor, his eyes widened in horror, the yellow and red flag was rapidly approaching.
The sentry grabbed the horn and was about to blow it, when a feathered arrow burst through the air, nailed to his throat with the utmost precision.
The horses began to accelerate, their hooves striking the ground heavily, and several sentries looked at the galloping horses in horror.
"Woo!
The alarm finally sounded, and the sleeping Xianbei people ran out of their tents, and the horses had already entered the camp, and the sabers hung in the rising sun.
One-sided slaughter!
----------------------------
The bird flapped its wings and landed in the camp, and the soldiers came and removed the small bamboo tube from the bird's legs, and then quickly sent it to the small camp tent next to the tent.
After a while, Fu Wen came out of the tent, hurriedly walked outside the tent, and after a little waiting, he heard a call from inside, and he rushed into the tent quickly.
"Lord Wang, great joy!"
Fu Wen was overjoyed and waved the good news, Yan Qin was talking to Wang, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but stand up, rushed over, snatched it, looked at it in a hurry, and couldn't help but punch him on the handsome case.
"Well done!"
Looking up, he exclaimed, "Sir, great victory!"
Looking at a little reserved smile, Yan Qin finally chose the first strategy, 10,000 elite horsemen detoured thousands of miles to attack Baiyanyuan, and today he was rewarded, and he succeeded in one fell swoop, beheading 13,000, capturing 56,000 people, more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, Tuli only escaped with more than 100 horses, and his wife and son were captured.
"Inform the whole army, congratulations on the victory!"
Yan Qinxi was overjoyed, and the boulder in her heart was finally put down.
This is the biggest victory of Dajin against Xianbei in ten years, this battle was won, and the government and the opposition have explained.
"Lord Wang, slow down. Wang hurriedly stopped, Yan Qin looked back at him: "What's wrong with Mr.?"
"This news will be announced tomorrow, and in addition, order Wang Sheng of the left army to immediately lead his troops to set off to meet Kui Yin. ”
Kui Yin, the captain of the right military academy, the favorite general of Taiyuan Wang Yanqin's confidant, and the main general of this thousand-mile attack.
"Okay!" Yan Qin agreed.
"The prince still has to comfort Bai Ying. Wang reminded again.
Yan Qin was slightly stunned and agreed, at the beginning, this Bai Qian was the main battle, and even proposed to attack with his own army, but Yan Qin still did not choose him in the end, for no other reason, this Bai Qin was one of the few generals left in the border army of the original Union Prefecture who still directly commanded the army.
Yan Qin did not dare to entrust his life to these proud generals left behind by Fang Hui, but chose Kui Yin, who had been with him for more than ten years, he was originally the captain of the personal guard under his account, and he was also a fierce general who was killed by the sea of corpses and blood, while Wang Sheng was a general transferred from Jizhou, and the two had nothing to do with Fang Hui.
With this victory, the whole court can breathe a sigh of relief. Fu Wen felt a sense of relief, he looked at Yan Qin's back, and breathed a long sigh of relief, to be honest, these days, the high-ranking figures of the army are Alexander, and all the senior generals and the cronies of the King of Taiyuan know that this battle must be won and not lost.
Wang sighed softly in his heart, but nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, the court has been looking forward to this victory for a long time, the emperor will be very excited, and the prince has made great contributions this time!"
Fu Wen nodded, and said with some emotion: "Yes, the prince is the work of eternity, so the grassland will be quiet for ten years, and the imperial court can have time to implement new policies and improve finances. Wang smiled and nodded, the two of them stepped out of the tent, Fu Wen walked away quickly, looked at the camp with a smile at the door of the tent, and after a while, slowly returned to his tent.
Glancing at the old servant who followed up, the old servant bowed slightly, sighed softly, and said very frustratedly: "The prince is too anxious for quick success, although this battle is won, but the sky can keep the grassland stable for three years, and if the latter strategy is clever, the Xianbei people will be in civil strife and turmoil for more than ten years, alas, it's a pity." ”
"There's nothing to be sorry for," the old servant said lightly: "Yan Qin is anxious to sit firmly in the capital of Yanbei, especially in the army, the border army is all proud generals left behind by Fang Hui, not to mention the senior generals, even the middle-level generals will not easily believe him, this time he can decide to take risks, and then win in one fell swoop, so victorious, he is also sitting firmly in the border army."
"Alas," the old servant sighed softly: "The army is a strange thing, only victory can unite the army's heart, relying on the imperial court to suppress and obey the army, it is okay to bully the common people in peacetime, but against the fierce Xianbei people, such an army is not good, Yan Qin's battle has solved a lot of problems." ”
Wang smiled bitterly, all this is because of him, he didn't expect Taiyuan Wang Yanqin to have such courage, you must know that he will not come up with this strategy.
"Go with the flow, you forgot Childe's words. The old servant reminded.
"How dare you forget, but you are unwilling. Wang sighed again, sat down and wrote a simple letter, cut the letter into three copies, rolled it into a small strip of paper and put it in a small bamboo tube, then sealed it with wax, printed a secret mark on his mouth, and then handed it to the old servant.
In the evening, the eight hundred miles of fast riding galloped to the end, and soon, the victory spread throughout the entire camp, the camp suddenly thundered with joy, Yan Qin invited the Baishan Hun King and Hengfeng Xiongba to the handsome tent.
Xiong Ba was still on the way when he heard the cheers in the Jin army camp, and when he learned about it, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Beheaded 13,000 and captured more than 50,000, which was a fatal blow to the Xianbei tribe.
"Lord Wang, you are still mediating, why did you send an army to attack!" Xiong Ba was stunned for a while, bitterness and anger were intertwined.
"Tuli provoked disputes without authorization and defied the instructions of the imperial court, and this king, at the behest of the imperial court, crusaded against disrespect and eliminated the source of the grassland trouble. "Yan Qin doesn't talk nonsense with Xiong Ba now, and directly convicts Tu Li.
"This time to successfully pacify the grassland, the southern Xianbei and Baishan Xiongnu have made great contributions, this king will play to the court, and the court will definitely reward meritorious deeds!"
Yan Qin was in a very comfortable mood, and his words were no longer as humble as a few days ago, and even a little deliberately flattering, but full of confidence, and the prestige of the kingdom was naturally revealed.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
The southern Xianbei and the Baishan Xiongnu have always been the barrier of the Great Jin, and the Great Jin Dynasty is friendly, Hengfeng is full of joy, the southern Xianbei and the central Xianbei have always been not harmonious, competing with each other for the grassland and competing for the tribe constantly, and in the era of bald tree function, the two tribes have been rubbing constantly, and now it is finally completely resolved, how to make him excited.
The news quickly spread throughout the major camps, and the Dajin military camp was excited, while the Xianbei camp was quite complicated, and the Xianbei kings who came from all over the country were shocked.
Tuli has been crisscrossing the grassland for many years, and its White Tiger tribe is one of the most powerful tribes in Xianbei, and the warriors of the White Tiger tribe once shook the grassland.
But in this battle, more than 10,000 were killed, more than 50,000 were captured, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep were taken captive, and even if the White Tiger tribe did not perish, it would be reduced to a second- or third-rate tribe.
In the grasslands, once reduced to small tribes, wolves in ambush will pounce on them and become their prey.
These Xianbei leaders on the grassland woke up, the Great Jin looked weak, but they still had strong strength, although Fang Hui went, the battle of the Jin army was still strong.
Outside the camp, a wine banquet began to be held again, Yan Qin sat on the main seat, his expression was happy, and the kings became respectful, raised their wine glasses, and praised the virtue of the Great Jin Emperor.
"I hope that the imperial court will not exterminate Tuli. ”
Wang didn't attend the banquet, he sat under the tree, played with the flute in his hand, and said to himself.
The old servant stood on the sidelines, as quiet as if no one was there.
A few days later, the army returned, the Jin army camp was happy again, whether the soldiers or the generals, they were all smiling, Kui Yin handed over orders to the king of Taiyuan, the king of Taiyuan took off the golden armor and put it on him, Kui Yin knelt on the ground, crying with joy.
After a simple ceremony, Yanqin, the king of Taiyuan, officially reported the victory to the imperial court, and the messenger rode the fastest horse to the imperial capital.
Great victory!
The messenger galloped through Taiyuan, ran across the east of the river, crossed the Yellow River, and smoked all the way until the majestic imperial capital.
"The emperor is overjoyed!"
"The emperor is overjoyed!"
"The emperor is overjoyed!
Mai Xiaonian took the Eight Hundred Miles Express, glanced at it hurriedly, and couldn't help but rush to the imperial study, shouting loudly along the way, several old eunuchs couldn't help frowning and scolding when they saw his appearance, but Mai Xiaonian didn't care about it, he still ran.
"Your Majesty!
Mai Xiaonian crawled continuously, almost rushing into the study, interrupting the emperor and Zhang Meng and others who were discussing government affairs.
The emperor looked displeased, and was about to scold, Mai Xiaonian held up the music of Taiyuan Wang Yanqin with both hands.
"Taiyuan Wang Yanqin played, great victory!"
That trace of displeasure immediately dissipated, the emperor stood up on the ground, Huang Gongcheng was about to step forward to fetch it, and the emperor had already walked over quickly and took it off.
"Good! The King of Taiyuan lives up to my expectations!"
The emperor couldn't help but shout three times in a row, and handed it to Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng took it, Pengzhu Xue Yu couldn't wait, stretched his neck, Zhang Meng smiled slightly, and read it aloud.
The song is very long, Yan Qin told in detail how to make a decision, how to send troops, sneak attack on the army and take risks, three military ranks along the way, soldiers and soldiers, and finally succeeded.....
"King Taiyuan's writing is good, well, this is written by him himself. The emperor was in a relaxed mood and joked with a smile, in fact, several people in the room knew that this was most likely drafted by someone under Yan Qin, and he copied it at most.
Laughter in the imperial study again, relaxed to the extreme, more than a year, for this war, how many things have happened in the DPRK, the new tax system, the degree of support Cao arrears, the grain kiln case, the ministers of the DPRK and China have taken off a layer of skin, and now the war has finally been won.
The mountain-like boulder finally fell, and the emperor's important ministers in the house all felt like they had been relieved of their burdens.
Great victory!
The emperor personally wrote the imperial book, spread the world, issued a decree to rest for three days, and the emperor personally sent the good news into the Taimiao to comfort the ancestors and ancestors.
But another problem came out again, the three armies had their lives, and they finally won a big victory, so they naturally wanted to reward the three armies, but the imperial court had no silver, and the treasury of Duzhi Cao's mansion was empty, not to mention the silver, and there was not much food.
