History of Yongwu

Chapter 168 Recovering Jintian

浠县

Standing behind the boulder in Gaogang, Qin Yu glanced at An Ziqi next to him, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "Dark clouds cover the moon, and the stars are fading. It's a good time for a sneak attack, right?"

An Ziqi was taken aback, and looked at King Jin with an embarrassed smile. It was his first official expedition, and he was still a little nervous.

"How did the lord expect that Yu Wang would definitely attack?" An Ziqi asked the previous question to ease the tension in his heart.

"The [-] people of Yuwang want to use the strategy of exhausting the army against Tonglin's [-] remnants, which shows that he cherishes feathers very much and is afraid of losing too many soldiers."

An Ziqi nodded, he also found it strange that before Jiang Chengwen and Tong Lin drove away King Yu's army with ease, there was almost no collision.

"Could it be..." An Ziqi thought for a while and said, "Could it be to concentrate our forces to fight to the death with us?"

"Maybe it is" Qin Yu looked at the front and lit the campfire and said, "Maybe he didn't intend to occupy Jintian County at all, but just wanted to secure Jintian Pass and strengthen his momentum."

"What momentum?"

"The battle for the throne in the bright moon"

An Ziqi suddenly realized, and suddenly understood King Jin's actions, "My lord, I want to test how much Yu Wang will lose before I am afraid."

Since it is to increase the reputation, it is natural to hope that the bigger the profit, the better. If there is a loss, Yu Wang may immediately withdraw his troops and retreat back to Jintian Pass.

"Ziqi is really smart"

"No, the lord is so talented, Ziqi admires him," An Ziqi said sincerely.

Qin Yu laughed, and walked forward, when the sound of footsteps was heard in the distance, it was Li Han who had returned.

"My lord, there are people coming from the east, it seems to be the Mingyue Army"

"Yeah" Qin Yu turned around and waved at An Ziqi, "Ziqi"

An Ziqi tightened his palms and looked in the direction of King Jin. It was too dark to see King Jin's expression clearly, but An Ziqi felt that King Jin was probably smiling.

"Lord"

An Ziqi stood in front of Qin Yu. Qin Yu sized him up, raised his hand to fasten the strap of his cloak again, and patted him on the shoulder.

"My king's first expedition was sent by my mother and concubine. I have no younger brother and I have the right to send my younger brother to the expedition today. Brother Yu is here waiting for your triumphant return."

"Ziqi Takes Order"

Pulling on the cloak, An Ziqi turned around and strode away. The black armored soldiers followed quietly behind him. Qin Yu stood on the high hill and watched the campfire in the distance quietly. Thinking of An Ziqi's parting gaze, he sighed suddenly.

Sometimes there are too many hypocrisy to buy people's hearts, and this king can't tell the truth in what he said.

Maybe this is why Yuliang hesitated!If you can't tell the difference yourself, how can you let others tell the difference.

Fighting hand to hand, the cruelty of the battlefield was covered under the night, only the screams revealed the haste of death, after a long time, the noise disappeared.

When the first rays of morning light pierced the blue sky, the Mingyue Army fled eastward in a panic. An Ziqi stood on his horse, glanced at the dusty east, and yanked the reins.

King Jin stood on the high hill with a solemn expression, exactly the same as when he saw off.

"Fortunately, Ziqi did not disgrace his fate." An Ziqi got off his horse and fell to his knees.

"My brother is heroic" Qin Yu helped him up "I am so comforted by this king"

An Ziqi smiled at him, the smile was out of tune with the battlefield a hundred steps away, and it still carried the youthful aura of wealth and honor in Daliang City.

The Mingyue Army fled to the east, and was attacked three times in a day. First, they were harassed by Jiang Chengwen's cavalry, and when they approached the Jintianguan Zhongjun, they were intercepted by Wang Meng.

Seeing this, King Yu immediately ordered the army to retreat, and the whole army entered the Jintian Pass. Just after retreating into the pass, King Jin's army pushed to the front of the pass.

King Jin Barracks

"Report, Mingyue has an envoy asking to see you"

Qin Yu was discussing the next matters with everyone, when he heard the words of the sentinel, he paused, waved and said, "What can I say to Mingyue, I don't see you!"

The sentry cavalry retreated quickly, Zhao Zhiping glanced at it, and said to King Jin, "My lord, what does Mingyue want if you don't listen?"

"It's nothing more than peace talks." Qin Yu looked at him, "This king's letter is sincere, and he is about to take back Jintianguan, how can we talk about peace?"

"I understand, but now that Mingyue's entire army has retreated to the pass, it's not easy to attack by force. If Jin falls into a battle, there must be a yellow bird behind."

Zhao Zhiping only returned to the Chinese army today. Before that, he and Wang Meng had been guarding against the reinforcements from Ji and Shuining counties.

"This king doesn't understand the heart of the gentleman. The counties of Jintian County have been recovered. The gentleman should first urge the county government to appease the people first, so that people can see my king's kindness," Qin Yu said to him.

"The humble minister takes orders"

Qin Yu nodded and looked at the crowd and said, "Wang Meng returned to Baizhou, pay more attention to the movements of Pingyang, Liang An, and Zhao Guo, and stationed in Xixian County to guard against Tong Lin, and An Ziqi took over the central army. The Mingyue Army must not jump out of the fortress. Do not attack the fortress"

"Yes"

Everyone was about to leave when Qin Yu suddenly said, "Ziqi stay here"

"sit down!"

"Thank you, my lord." An Ziqi sat down.

"Jintian will soon be stabilized. I can't stay in Jintian for a long time. I have to go back to Daliang. Once I leave, this Jintian will be up to you." Qin Yu looked at him and said, "Do you know where to guard Jintian?"

"Reinforcements from all counties," An Ziqi replied.

"That's right." Qin Yu nodded and said, "This king will present to the court, praise you for your contribution in the Battle of Jintian, and denounce Tong Lin for his mistakes. This is exactly where you buy people's hearts."

This... An Ziqi was puzzled, and looked at King Jin with some embarrassment, "What does your lord mean?"

"Remember to be very respectful to Tong Lin, especially when you are facing Jintian gentry, you must bring this Jintian governor with you. As for the reinforcements from all over the place, those who hold the emperor's edict can see them, otherwise they will not be seen. Remember to let Jintian gentry The common people are grateful to you, and grateful to Jin.”

"Ziqi understands." An Ziqi lowered his head.

"Okay, you've worked hard today, go and rest." Qin Yu gave him a comforting smile, and An Ziqi bowed and stepped back.

Although Qin Yu already had the upper hand in the matter of Jintian, Nangongxun's call to action not only traps the court, but also traps himself.

Now Jintianguan can't be captured so quickly, otherwise he can only "be punished by the big beam", and the only way to compromise is to win the hearts of the people first, and use morality and etiquette to hold back the imperial decree of the capital and the covetous orioles.

With this in mind, Qin Yu raised his head and called out "Li Han" to the outside of the account.

"Lord" Li Han entered.

"Go and sue Zhiping, the king's battle injuries have recurred, and everything can't be seen at all"

"Yes" Li Han took the order, no surprise, although King Jin seemed to be alive and well.

"By the way," Qin Yu said suddenly, "Immediately send a message to Daliang and let the priest of Nangong send the official document to the king."

"...Yes" Li Han withdrew, subconsciously feeling that this matter would not be easy to facilitate.

in a few days

The emperor's edict came as expected, just as Qin Yu expected, it reprimanded Tong Lin but ordered him to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and An Ziqi only bestowed money and silk.

The most interesting thing is that the imperial edict sent by the emperor to His Royal Highness King Jin has a different kind of scheming everywhere.

"Edict of the Son of Heaven: Jin Wang Zhongyong, conquered Nanyi in the first battle. I am very happy. I hope that my brother can work hard to conquer Jintian and make the name of Yongwei great."

The eunuch who delivered the order received the yellow silk and respectfully sent it to King Jin, "His Royal Highness, please accept the order."

"Thank you for your favor!" Qin Yu held up the imperial decree and shouted, and was supported by An Ziqi on the side before he could barely stand up. Nanyi, take back the golden fields"

"Hehe... the prince take care, the queen mother and your majesty can feel at ease." I don't know if the eunuch who delivered the decree believed it, but after a friendly smile, he said goodbye and left.

"It seems that this king is going to make an apology." Qin Yu straightened up and joked at An Ziqi, "Otherwise, the reputation I just established will be gone."

A few days later, King Jin's pleading letter spread to the capital, and everyone knew that King Jin's war wounds had recurred, and he could not stand up if he wanted to, and he couldn't capture Jintian Pass immediately, and felt deeply indebted to the emperor.

I heard that this letter was written with so much emotion that when Emperor Xuan received it, he was so 'sorrowful' that he didn't even have dinner.

King Jin tent

"Prince" Li Han saw that King Jin was in a good mood, so he came in and replied, "The priest said the official document is confidential, so he dare not send it."

Started to get awkward again!Qin Yu smiled, and said to Li Han, "Tell him that Nangong Xun is a guest of this king, whether he will come or not."

"...Yes" Li Han stepped back, secretly sighing that one mountain is still higher.

Just as Li Han left, An Ziqi came in and said, "My lord, the messenger of the moon is here again."

"Here again?" Qin Yu frowned and said impatiently, "Tell him that the king is gone." Mingyue's envoy has come many times, and this king Yu is too persistent.

"This time it's not Yu Wang's man"

Mingyue always sent envoys to try to negotiate peace, but King Jin never showed up. Of course An Ziqi knew, but this time the visitor was a little special, and he was the one who reported first, so he came in person.

"He said it was sent by King Mingyuecheng, and he came here specially to meet the prince."

King Cheng... Sima Shaojun!Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and An Ziqi saw him tapping his fingers on the table a few times, and said to him with a smile, "This king's battle injuries have recurred, and no one can see him."

"Yes" An Ziqi withdrew.

Inside the tent, Qin Yu sat alone on a chair, looked at the map on the wall, moved his eyes to the land behind Jintian Pass, and smiled slightly.

King Yu, King Cheng, and Mingyue's two favorites to seize the heir apparent have all appeared on the stage. Brother Wu must be in a hurry!

Mingyue Jianglue City

King Cheng's plan Liu Yanshen naturally understood, but Liu Yanshen had prepared a lot of excuses, and he was driven away without even seeing King Jin, which made him feel a little guilty for King Cheng.

"Prince" guards enter the door "Mr. Liu is back"

"Please!" Sima Shaojun put down the pen in his hand and sat outside.

"See you, my lord." Liu Yanshen entered the door and bowed to salute.

"Sit down." Sima Shaojun helped him up, "Thank you for your hard work, how are things going?"

"Yan Shen is ashamed," Liu Yan Shen lowered his head and said apologetically.

This... King Jin didn't agree?Sima Shaojun was very calm, he smiled lightly and said, "What did King Jin say?"

Liu Yanshen was even more ashamed, and replied deeply to King Cheng, "Yan Shen didn't see King Jin at all, so he was blocked back."

"Oh?" Sima Shaojun was slightly surprised.

"The king of Jin said that his battle injury relapsed, and no one saw him."

Hehe... Sima Shaojun laughed suddenly, Liu Yanshen was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why is the prince laughing?"

"It's okay." Sima Shaojun snapped back to his senses, and was about to speak when he saw Chang Rong coming this way.

"My lord, there's another letter from Beijing, Yu Wang accuses my lord of delaying the transportation of food and grass, which caused Jintian to fail," Chang Rong said as soon as he entered the door.

"Nonsense." Liu Yanshen frowned.

"He has always been like this, why is it so strange?" Sima Shaojun smiled but didn't care too much, beat the paper fan and said, "What did the court say?"

"The censor impeached the prince one after another, not to mention honoring the prince's party. Although His Majesty didn't say anything, his expression was clearly displeased and dissatisfied with the prince." Chang Rong frowned as he said.

"Prince" Liu Yanshen stood up and looked at King Cheng, "In this way, you will be even more dangerous. If you lose your holy will, those who were swaying before may fall to King Yu."

Sima Shaojun nodded without saying a word, shaking the paper fan and pondering for a long time, "Does King Jin have any other knowledge?"

Liu Yanshen was taken aback, but he still replied, "I heard that King Yu sent envoys for peace talks several times, but they were all rejected by King Jin. Yanshen thought that King Jin would not negotiate peace with King Yu. Sooner or later there would be a big battle in Jintian, and the prince would be defeated by King Yu. Or if you fail, His Majesty will take the opportunity to enter Jintian Pass, and if you can turn the tide, the prince will have no worries in the court."

Previously, it was speculated that King Yu and King Jin would negotiate peace talks, so King Yu would still be considered a great victory, and the court would definitely run against Cheng Wang, but now it seems that King Jin is focused on recapturing Jintian Pass and will never compromise, so it is better to sit and wait for the success of King Cheng.

"No." Sima Shaojun refused straight away, and said firmly, "If Jin Wang wants to fight to the death with Yu Wang, he will never relapse from the battle injury."

"My lord thinks that King Jin is...deceiving others," Liu Yanshen said hesitantly.

"My minister agrees with what the prince said," Chang Rong suddenly said, "Based on what I have seen and heard in Dayong, the king of Jin is very good at hiding. Among the kings of Dayong, only the king of Jin still respects the court, but the state of Jin is becoming more and more respectful." Powerful, faintly overshadowing Emperor Yongxuan, so this person is very good at concealing and confusing the enemy"

"Oh? It seems that I'm ignorant and ignorant." Liu Yanshen was not unhappy. Chang Rong collected information in Dayong all the year round, and Dayong's knowledge was much more transparent than what he saw.

good possession!Sima Shaojun suddenly felt it was ridiculous, shook his head, suppressed his emotions, and said, "King Jin will not go to war easily. I didn't agree to King Yu. I'm afraid he was waiting for an opportunity. If we can join King Jin, King Yu will be trapped in Jintian, and he will not be able to attack for a long time." Well, King Yu is not only too busy dealing with it, he has no time to care about him, but if he makes a mistake, it will be a big mistake, and then King Yu won't be in the mood to impeach me."

"But... what should the king of Jin do if he doesn't see the minister?" Liu Yanshen agreed with King Cheng's thoughts, but the king of Jin didn't see any envoy of Mingyue at all.

"It doesn't matter." Sima Shaojun stood up suddenly, put away the paper fan, and a light flashed in his eyes, "He will see you."

The author has something to say:

I like to write novels, which relieve a lot of pressure. When I first posted here, I felt that I would definitely be cold, so I didn't think about signing a contract or anything. After all, this article is sad and sad, and it is the first time I write it.

On the contrary, I am very happy that so many people are watching it now, and I am quite motivated to update it.I think the most interesting thing in the world is creation and destruction. Writing novels is the process of creation, so I enjoy it. I am happiest when someone has the same aesthetics as me and likes this article.
