Emperor Son Sang gl

Chapter 19 Luoguan City

The 17th year of Antong in Daning, April [-]th.

All the wine has been poured into the mouth of the battle, and the next thing is that tens of thousands of soldiers will go to the battlefield, and they will never return.Now let’s talk about it, Haigu Wang Gong Sunzheng assisted the emperor’s grandson Sang Yu to gather troops from the south of the Yangtze River. The 45 Haigu army was renamed Yanjun, and 15 soldiers will be left to station in the south of the Yangtze River. The remaining 30 soldiers will go to the north of the river to attack go.

The river line is the boundary, and the south of the river line is now full of Fuyan people; the north of the river line is still the land of Daning, and Jiangnan is heavily guarded.And now the first checkpoint to attack Jiangbei is Luoguan City, an important city located at the Jiangxian port.After Luoguan, there are large-scale cities stretching along the Yanjiang line, and they are also called the Eighteen Cities of Jiangzhou.

A while ago, Emperor Ning Bai Daocheng dispatched [-] troops from Jiangzhou to garrison Luoguan City, in order not to let this first line of defense fall; the land of Daning north of the river line has a total of three lines of defense: one The first is Luoguan City, a port on the river line, the second is the Jiangzhou area that stretches across many cities, and the third is Dingjiang City in front of the imperial city.

"According to my humble opinion, the Beiyi tribe is now in an eventful season of vying for the throne, coupled with the scarcity of soldiers and horses, and the lack of supplies, it is absolutely impossible to come to the Central Plains to invade at this moment; Your Highness has now blown the horn with Ning Chao, In war, it is always better to decide quickly, and it must not be delayed."

Zi Sangyu pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

The next day, Yanjun began to count troops and rank generals.

Since Yanshun and years ago, there has been no large-scale turmoil in this land; even the change of ownership 17 years ago was a war unknown to outsiders.Today, after a hundred years of peace, Zisang Yimai chose to raise his troops against Ning Fuyan without hesitation, and raised the banner to the imperial power of Daning.

When spring and summer alternate, the rain continues.

The 30 Yanjun originally walked on the spacious official road, but they changed to a shortcut road just to speed up the march.The shortcut is not as easy as the official road, because of the rain, it has become muddy.

When we arrived at the camp at the Jiang'an Line, there was another light rain, and people's mood became bad along with the gloomy weather.Zi Sangyu was walking in the barracks, and together with Lian Xin, he observed the progress of Yanjun's training.

"The battle between Yanjun and Ningjun is imminent. I don't have any actual combat experience. I often feel powerless when I am pushed into this position." Zi Sangyu walked ahead and said calmly.

Lian Xin looked at her and sighed.

"Your Highness is Qianyan's only hope. In this battle, Your Highness is the spiritual pillar and leader of the entire army. It must be the first time you are involved in a war, and you will feel hesitant. But now Your Highness has to fight, and this battle also has to be done." Hit me." It's been more than ten years since I was a child, how could I not know Zi Sang Yu's temper.

A person who doesn't like to fight, doesn't like to kill, a woman.

Zi Sang Yu suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Lian Xin.

"Brother Yi, do you think we can take back this country?"

No matter how lofty and ambitious he is towards others, this practical question has been lingering in Zi Sangyu's heart for a long time.Naturally, one cannot admit defeat in front of the people; but who can understand one's own fear?

Even my heart warmed up.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Now King Haigu, Gu Tang, Zhao Gan, etc. are all warriors marching and fighting. They will definitely assist His Highness to win the victory as soon as possible and regain the country."

"Actually, what I'm more afraid of is the problems in the future." Zi Sangyu turned his hands away and looked at the soldiers who were sweating and training under the stage: "If the world is really unified by then and I sit on the position of Ninth Five-Year Supreme, what should I do?" Treat the people of the world well? Govern the country? Although my father-in-law taught the country's policy theory since childhood, it is still empty words on paper. Also, what about the princess, what about Bai Qingran?...As far as I am concerned, I will never leave She is scary, how will everyone treat her?"

Lian Xin was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, after bearing the hatred of the family and the country, does she still remember that person in her heart?

It is a big taboo for a former princess to become a concubine or even a queen in the new dynasty.Could it be that she wants to pave the way for her future plans by talking like this now?Lian Xin sighed again.

"Your Highness, at that time you were the master of all people, the king of the world, why should you be afraid of others?"

After hearing this, Zi Sangyu couldn't help laughing:

"Haha, brother Yi's words are similar to Mr. Lu's tone."

"This is also the truth, but I just don't want His Highness to be disturbed by these things." Lian Xin smiled: "Now that all the troops have settled here, I don't know what your Highness's next plan is?"

The corners of Zi Sang Yu's mouth rose.

"Water warfare is the strength of the Haigu army; we can use this to attack the Ning army and take advantage of the situation to go to Jiangbei." Suddenly, Zi Sang Yu seemed to have some thoughts flashed in his mind, and he turned around and went back to the camp, calling for people Go and call the officers and men above the rank of lieutenant to come and discuss matters together.Lian Xin knew that she had an idea in her heart, so she followed quickly without delay.

Daning capital.

Shaofu.

At noon, a carriage came in from the east gate of the capital and galloped all the way until it entered the inner city gate before slowing down a little.The carriage drove all the way to the city until it reached the gate of the Shao Mansion in the capital, and then pulled the horse to a hasty stop.

The guards in front of the Shaofu gate saw the carriage coming and the people getting on and off the carriage, so they rushed to greet them:

"Master, you are back."

"Yeah." The man who got out of the car was a man in his 40s, with a white face and beardless, but he looked young.He threw some luggage in his hand to the guard, "Is the master in the mansion?"

"Here, the master is resting in the backyard, watching the fish."

The man nodded, and immediately rushed to the mansion in a very hurry.

This man in his forties, named Shaochong, is the only young master in Shaofu.Ten or 20 years ago, he was an official in the Qianyan court, but after the new dynasty of Daning, he retired and settled down with his old father in Kyoto.

And the master of Shao Mansion is named Shao Zhiyuan. Seventeen years ago, she served as the right minister of Dayan, with a high position and authority; Shaozheng, the only baby daughter of Shaoxiang, married Sang Tong, the prince of Dayan, and became the princess concubine.In the same way, after Zisang's family fell, Shao Xiang withdrew from the court and ignored the affairs of the world.

Today, Shao Chong, who had been away on business for a long time, suddenly returned to the capital without any news to report, which surprised the old master Shao Zhiyuan who was sitting in the mansion.

"Why don't you need someone to reply when you come back? There seems to be something going on in the capital recently. You always see some imperial soldiers coming and going. What happened when you came back?" After all, Shao Zhiyuan had been prime minister for many years. I have been down for more than ten years, and I have not asked about the current situation, but just looking at the surface, I also know that there will be a big storm.

Shao Chong looked at the servants around him, and waved them down.

Seeing that there was no one around, and now it was a spacious place, there was no need to be afraid of being eavesdropped; Shao Chong sat down beside his father, with a nervous expression on his face: "Father, the news in all towns, especially the capital, is currently severely blocked. They were all dealt with by the court in private, so you don't know about it. At that time, the boy was doing business in the Jiangbei area, but he got the news that the Jiangnan King Haigu led an uprising and raised the flag to prolong..."

Before Shao Chong finished speaking, Shao Zhiyuan was shocked:

"What does Gongsun Zheng mean by this? How can he be a reckless man who is the master of the world!"

"Father, don't worry!"

Shao Chong hurriedly held down the excited Shao Zhiyuan, and lowered his voice again: "Gongsun Zheng didn't revolt in his own name. During the Qing Festival, there was a large-scale sacrifice to Zisang in Jiangnan Chengyun City." The ceremony, and the main character of the worship is a young man who bears the name of the orphan of the prince!"

Shao Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, but kept thinking in his mind, not knowing what to say.

"Prince... the crown prince ruled orphans?"

"Yes. Some of my subordinates went to the south of the Yangtze River at that time. I heard that the young man's face looks exactly like the Prince Tong's when he was young, and his gestures are quite royal. People from Jiangnan Fuyan support it, and will soon lead the soldiers from Jiangnan to attack Jiangbei and take back their homeland!"

Shao Chong said, but Shao Zhiyuan held his son's hand tightly, it was because he was puzzled that the old father asked tremblingly: "What is the name of that boy..."

Shaochong didn't understand what it meant, so he said, "I heard that it's the single character Yu, the word Yu written in Italian."

Shao Zhiyuan was stunned.

-I believe that the Zisang emperor's family is masculine and bloody brought out from the blood, and there is no need to use the name of boldness to strengthen the power of the blood itself.The grandson of the emperor is the second heir to the throne of Emperor Zisang. In this prosperous age, the minister hopes to give the grandson a name of both civil and martial arts.

-This move is very good, I am also thinking about it, but I don't know what word taboo is suitable?

-This word means the ink of the writing brush. As the future emperor of Dayan, Wenzhi is a compulsory course for him in the future.I hope that the future emperor's grandson will have the wisdom of His Highness and the wisdom of the Holy One, coupled with the masculinity and blood of Zisang's family, this is the kind of king that should be in a prosperous age.

-Yu, Zi Sang Yu...Okay, very good!From now on, my son will be called Yu!

Thinking of the past that has been sealed for 17 years, Shao Zhiyuan's heart that has also been frozen for 17 years seems to be beating again.Prince Tong's orphan, named Yu, raised his troops against Ning...

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Chong'er, you must keep him safe! This young man is the flesh and blood of your sister and Prince Tong. He is my grandson and your nephew!"

"what?!"

Shaochong was also like a bolt from the blue.

----------------------------

Jiangnan Yanjun camp tent.

In the camp, several lamps had already been turned on, and the screens retreated to the left and right; there were a dozen or so generals standing in the front and back, and besides Gongsun Zheng and other senior officers and soldiers, there were also about ten other officers and soldiers of certain positions present.

Gu Tang and Zhao Gan personally laid out the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, placing topographical signs of the nearby landforms; they retreated to the side after all preparations were completed, waiting for Zi Sangyu to speak.

"The Battle of Luoguan City is imminent. Now that I have invited all the soldiers here, I just want to hear your opinions on this battle. Let's take a look at the terrain of this battle first, and give me an answer after a cup of tea. "In a word, it is polite but full of kingly demeanor. Even those who have been in the battlefield for many years can't help but sweat.

Zi Sang Yu immediately sat down, ordered a cup of tea for each soldier, and ordered ambergris.

"Xin'er, look, now Your Highness is more and more able to use the emperor's art. It is necessary for the king to hold power and delegate power. She is making progress every day." The young girl couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You grew up with Your Highness, and you know her better than others in many things; it's just that in addition to being sympathetic to her, you must also control your own words and actions, and you must not offend Longyan, otherwise In the future, even my family will be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain."

Lian Xin looked at Zi Sang Yu and nodded, "Don't worry, Father, Xiner understands."

On the other side, all the soldiers looked thoughtful, and each sat down in their own seats, drinking the tea in their hands aimlessly.Before he regained his composure, he saw the person in the seat stand up.

Out of conditioned reflex, all the soldiers stood up together.

"Since ancient times, generals don't need to bow and kneel while wearing armor; now, I'm just a junior of you, and I need your support and advice on many things. I'm asking you for advice tonight, so I don't need to get up." Zi Sangyu said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other and saw Gongsun Zheng's expression, so they sat back to their original positions.

Zi Sang Yu glanced at Gongsun Zheng again, then looked away.

"A cup of tea is almost enough. After reading this topographic map, do you have any ideas about the Battle of Luoguan?" Zi Sang Yu first looked at the general who was attacking the city, Gu Tang.

Gu Tang got up and bowed. "Your Highness, Gu Tang has some ideas, but I don't know what to do. Please listen to your Highness." With Zi Sangyu's permission, Gu Tangfang continued: "Luoguan City is the first line of defense in Jiangbei, and the city guard is on the way." He is an effective subordinate of Yan Tianming, Duke of Ning Ning, named Shi Jian. This man is not good at fighting, but his ability to defend the city is one of the best in the Daning Dynasty."

The crowd meditated.

Zi Sangyu smiled, and looked back at Zhao Gan on the other side: "General Zhao's defense skills are not weak. I don't know who is better than this Shi Jian?"

Zhao Gan got up and went out after hearing the question.

"My subordinates have also heard about this Shi Jian's ability, but the method of defending the city is quite different from his." Zhao Gan looked at Zi Sang Yu, and continued: "I heard that when Shi Jian defended the city , will distribute the subordinate troops to various checkpoints in the city, and use their bodies to resist to achieve the effect of defending the city; in times of crisis, the people in the city will be sent out of the city to reduce the number of enemy attacks on the city and ease the time for reinforcements to arrive. The subordinates believe that although this person has the ability to defend the city, his methods are dirty."

Zi Sang Yu nodded with a smile, but said nothing.

Zhao Gan made a bow and said: "Your subordinates are not very good at defending the city, but when defending the city, they will try their best to appease the hearts of the people, so as to achieve the effect that the army and the people will advance and retreat with the city. And the subordinates will make promises based on their ability, If it exceeds the limit that the subordinate can accomplish, the subordinate will definitely not boast about agreeing to defend the city!"

Clanking blood words, all the soldiers couldn't help but grieve: What if His Highness is dissatisfied with talking like this?Unexpectedly, Zi Sangyu laughed heartily and said:

"General Zhao is a person who cares about the overall situation."

Once the discussions on the Battle of Luoguan started, the others expressed their thoughts without any hesitation.Although the opinions of more than a dozen people are different, they complement each other to a certain extent and complete the plan.

"The subordinates believe that during the water battle on the river, we can bluff and let the enemy think that we have launched a large-scale attack from the river. After that, the main force will quickly cross the river in a small boat and settle on the opposite bank. As long as Once our army is on the opposite side, if the enemy is caught off guard, Luoguan will be like something in our pocket."

"General Fang, it's easy for you to say that. It's just that how do we know what's going on on the other side of the river? What if our army is captured by the enemy when we reach the other side?"

"Don't worry, two generals. As far as I know, there is a small mountain mining area near the river bank in the southeast suburb of Luoguan City in Jiangbei. It was abandoned a few years ago. Because there are many wild animals on the mountain, there are few people. The army can be there Go ashore, and the enemy will definitely not find the slightest trace."

"This plan is very clever! Even if someone comes, the soldiers can pretend to be workers in the new mining area, and will never arouse suspicion! As expected, General Gu is brave and resourceful, and the subordinates admire him!"

Zi Sangyu couldn't help smiling as he watched them exchange words.

"The generals have been discussing for some time. I don't know what is the best strategy?" Zi Sangyu probably understood their opinions, and the strategic allocation also had some eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, letting them speak.

Gongsun Zheng stood up and bowed:

"Your Highness, this subordinate thinks this plan is feasible."

Zi Sang Yu nodded.

"Then, all officers and men obey orders!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Immediately confiscated all the boats at the Jiang'an Wharf, and left an IOU for the people to use for our army to cross the river; at that time, General Gu led 3 horses and horses in a large boat to attack on the river, and General Fang led 2 soldiers to follow behind to confuse the public. ;General Zhao and the rest of the generals led 3 people to detour across the river and headed for the southeastern mining area of ​​Luoguan. The remaining [-] people stayed where they were and waited for the next order! It is now April [-]th, and now it is a plan to attack the west. If you can go well, you must take down Luoguan City before the Dragon Boat Festival!"

"Subordinates have orders!"
