such as Yue Linyuan

Neighboring Yanliang and Mobei Monan Mongols raided the Shanhaiguan border. Among them, 15 troops from Yanliang raided Shanhaiguan, and [-] Mobei and Monan Mongolians raided the new city under construction.

The urgent military newspapers came several times in a short period of two days after the enthronement ceremony. After Chu Yuezhi took off his uniform and changed back to the usual emperor's uniform, he never left the Imperial Study Room. The arrangements for the garrisons in various places, as well as the strength of the large army stationed on the border defense line.When he left the border, the line of defense had already been built, and he had been building up fortress defenses in the past few years. He also often received secret news from the border, and he knew the guards of the border defense and the strength of the fortress. The guards guarding the border were all The soldiers who fought with him were very familiar with the border and were brave and good at fighting. However, the new city was still under construction, so it was quickly captured by the Mongolians after being raided.

More importantly, Shanhaiguan is the most important first pass, which leans against Yanshan Mountain in the north and connects to the Bohai Sea in the south. "Jifu Tongzhi" once recorded the situation of Shanhaiguan as: the pillow of the Great Wall protects Yanji, serves as the capital's Pinghan, and embraces Xiongguan. It is the left throat of Liao.

In other words, Shanhaiguan is the most important barrier of the capital. Once Shanhaiguan breaks through the capital, it will lose its protection. Although the city of Shanhaiguan is much thicker than other cities of the Great Wall, it is 14 meters high, and the moat is five feet wide and three feet deep. Heng Kingdom’s self-sufficient farming system also makes it absolutely impossible for Shanhaiguan to run out of food, but now the total number of troops guarding Shanhaiguan is 17, which is 20 less than the [-] troops of Yanliang and Mongolian, and the new city is lost. The morale of the army is bound to be shaken.

If he was still Prince An, he would have already requested an order to lead troops to Shanhaiguan, but now he is the emperor, and he has just ascended the throne, and the court is still undercurrents.

But in this court, besides him, who else can lead the imperial army?

The imperial army was brought out by him alone, and the military spirit is with him. It would be difficult for any commander to convince the crowd, and it would be even more difficult to gain prestige in a short period of time.

Among the military officials who are still in the court, two of them are old and not suitable for the battlefield, and the others are hereditary and have never even been on the battlefield. In these years, they only broke out when hunger riots broke out outside the thirteen provinces. They were assigned to suppress, even if they went to suppress, they would never go to battle in person, most of them would be led by the generals in the army to suppress, and they would sit comfortably in the camp and wait for the results, and then return to Beijing after the suppression Take this as a reward for military merit.

Not to mention that the elite Cangyuan army under Chu Yuezhi's command was dissatisfied, even the ordinary imperial army would not be able to listen to the command and deployment of those hereditary military lords.There are also a few generals who chose to stand by him during the palace change, but their prestige in the army is not enough, and their ability is also lacking. Although they can lead the army as generals, they cannot be the commander in chief.

The most important thing in war is popularity and strategy. If you can unify the three armies and control the enemy according to the actual strategy, you can win the real battle.

But looking at the whole country of Daheng, there is no general who knows better than him how to dispatch troops to deal with the enemy, and there is no military general who can restrain the Cangyuan army and the imperial army.

"Your Majesty, Huangfu Liangzhen, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is asking to see you." Wang Zhong announced outside the hall.

Chu Yuezhi was looking at the new military newspaper, Zhun Yun said: "Let him in!"

After the enthronement ceremony, Fu Xingyun, as the only remaining son of the Huangfu family, inherited Huangfu Lang Shu Qiwen's position as a bachelor before he joined the military.A bachelor's degree is an official position rather than a title, and there was no inheritance at all. However, due to special circumstances, the Huangfu family was amnesty after the enthronement ceremony, and is being retrialed together with the Si family case. Xiancai appointed Wenyuange University Bachelor for the reason.

As for the original Wenyuange University scholar, I don't know whether he was unwilling to recognize Chu Yuezhi as the emperor or had other hidden reasons. During the enthronement ceremony, he had already resigned on the grounds that he was too old and unable to take on important responsibilities.

Fu Xingyun entered the hall wearing an official uniform, and he could no longer see the shadow of being a dead servant on his body. After entering the hall, he first saluted Chu Yuezhi: "Minister, see Your Majesty."

"Exemption." Chu Yuezhi closed the military newspaper and said: "A new city has been lost on the border, and morale has been severely damaged. support the enemy."

Fu Xingyun said: "The minister, Zhao Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lu Kai, the governor of the Five Armies, have carefully reviewed the distribution of troops in various places. Now the total number of troops that can be mobilized immediately is 18, and the garrison army is [-]. Your Majesty's Cangyuan Army is stationed in important areas. At the pass, [-] can be deployed as appropriate, and..."

"No, troops from other places cannot be transferred. Remote transfers are too time-consuming, and the soldiers are not in the best condition to fight the battle after a long journey. Sending remote transferred soldiers to the battlefield is equivalent to directly sending them to death." Chu Yuezhi walked away. When someone retrieved it from the original Prince An's Mansion, and now it is in front of the map hung in the imperial study, he said: "I have been paying attention to Yan Liang's movements in the past few years, and I have been worried that Yan Liang will raise troops before. Now it really is as I imagined, this Yanliang can't hold back anymore."

Just as Fu Xingyun was about to speak, Wang Zhong outside the palace reported again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Si is here too!"

Chu Yuezhi had ordered that Si Yuanting was free to enter and leave the imperial study room, and Wang Zhong would not notify him on weekdays, but it was because there were important court officials present that he made a special notification.

After Wang Zhong told him that Fu Xingyun was inside, Si Yuanting walked into the hall without hesitation.

"You..." Chu Yuezhi's face changed slightly when he saw Si Yuanting. He hadn't seen Si Yuanting since his enthronement ceremony. Ministers of civil and military affairs had seen each other in turn, and then he was looking at military newspapers and maps to analyze the situation of the war. , except that he didn't go back to Xiefang Palace, he didn't go back, and Si Yuanting didn't come to see him for a long time, so he only sent palace people to bring him herbal tea from time to time.

Si Yuanting looked at him indifferently, and said, "You knew I would come."

Chu Yuezhi gritted his teeth secretly, and said: "Yes, I know, but the case of the Si family is still under trial, and you are not suitable to participate in the affairs of the court."

Si Yuanting glanced at Fu Xingyun, who was standing with his hands down and was wearing an official uniform, and said, "Your Majesty, do you mean that I can't see that Grand Master Huangfu is also in this hall?"

"You go back, I will go back to Xiefang Hall after discussing the important matters with Huangfu." Chu Yuezhi has not rested for two days, and his eyes are pale blue. Arguing with him satisfied him, but the current situation was unusual, they both knew what the other was thinking, and neither of them planned to give in.

"Your Majesty, at this time, Yanliang is joining forces with the Mongols to raise troops on the Shanhaiguan border. I think it's more for testing." Fu Xingyun, who was notified just now, said that since he came as a minister of the cabinet, he must do his best. The responsibilities of the assistant ministers, "During the past few years, His Majesty fought on the frontiers of the Daheng Kingdom, opened up territories and established border defense lines. The conscripts required for the campaign and the financial resources and materials consumed by the campaign were extremely depleted. The past three years can be regarded as a national war. Everyone is resting and recuperating; however, His Majesty has launched a palace change for the second time to replace Chu Yuelei, and the Daheng Kingdom has changed kings twice in less than ten years. It can be said that both the government and the opposition are in turmoil. Only when this opportunity is given, will the army launch a surprise attack at the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne."

"Shanhaiguan, as an important military area that has been highly valued by all dynasties, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unless Yanliang uses all the troops of the whole country, it is impossible to break through. Yanliang's move is to test the defense strength of Shanhaiguan." Si Yuan Ting took Fu Xingyun's words, walked to the map, pointed to the long border defense line, and said: "The Mongolian army in Mobei and South should be the same reason. The Mongolian army raised [-]. Your Majesty is counting The prestige in the year's campaign was well-known, but now that they are emperors, these frontier tribes will want to know, when His Majesty can no longer conquer in person, whether there is still a good commander in Daheng Kingdom who can stand shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty. Yanliang united with the Mongols to raise troops at the same time, and fought like this The big momentum is to deter and boost their own morale, and to determine whether the Daheng Kingdom has enough national power to fight back under such a joint raid. For Yanliang and the Mongols, this time, fighting Winning the battle is not the main purpose, the main purpose is to severely damage the defense line of the Daheng Kingdom. Your Majesty is the first to ascend the Great Treasure, this battle must not show signs of decline, otherwise not only the court, but the people of the entire Daheng Kingdom will be shaken by this battle .”

"Don't you think I didn't think of this?" Chu Yuezhi's face gradually became ugly when Si Yuanting made a clear analysis. He looked at Si Yuanting and said, "I don't believe it. I can't find a general who can lead the three armies to fight instead of me!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to bother looking for it. I think that person is in this palace right now." Fu Xingyun knew what Chu Yuezhi was avoiding, but he also knew that Si Yuanting would not let Chu Yuezhi avoid it. It's better to let him speak out first, "Your Majesty..."

"Huangfu Liangzhen, shut up!" Chu Yuezhi roared suddenly. He glared at Fu Xingyun, then at Si Yuanting, and said in a hateful voice: "I know you are full of ambition, and I know What kind of ambitions did you have in your heart, but Si Yuanting, let me send you to the battlefield, don't even think about it!"

Si Yuanting looked at Chu Yuezhi calmly. He didn't kneel down or salute, but said in a calm and gentle but extremely powerful voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to fight for the people of the Daheng Kingdom. Please Your Majesty is complete."

Chu Yuezhi's face was completely livid, he squinted his cold peach blossom eyes, took a step forward and approached Si Yuanting, and said, "I, no, yes! Si Yuanting, listen carefully, your fate is with me now." Together, I and you have taken the symbiosis Gu drug 'Du Jun', if one of you and I dies first, the other person will die soon after, think clearly, the battlefield is extremely dangerous , if you have the slightest accident on the battlefield, I will not be spared."

Because he couldn't lose Si Yuanting, and because he wanted Si Yuanting to live with him for a long time until they both turned white, he recklessly used the Symbiosis Gu medicine. He had thought many times about how to tell Si Yuanting this However, it never occurred to Si Yuanting to find out about it under such circumstances.
