History of Yongwu

In September of the fifth year of Jianping, Princess Wei of Jin went out to Tianlong Temple to pray for King Jin's Southern Expedition. She was injured by the bandits of the strict party who ambushed her, and she died after returning to the mansion for several days.The king of Jin was very sad, and personally wrote an article to mourn, and ordered Zhao Zhiping to strictly investigate those who colluded with the strict party in Beijing and China, and would never let anyone who was in the strict party go.

At the right time, the imperial court was suspected of colluding with the strict party members. As many as a hundred people, most of them were relegated to the countryside. There was no one available in the imperial court for a while. This year, the capital is overcrowded with scholars!

Baiwan Camp

In the dead of night, there was only the sound of patrolling in the barracks. Qin Yu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly, he frowned, opened his eyes, stared at the darkness above his head, and pressed his palm to his heart.

Putting on the cloak, Qin Yu strode towards the door, as if he was looking for something, and when he opened the door, the beautiful moonlight shone into his eyes, and he stopped in his tracks.

"Li Han" Qin Yu knelt down slowly, covered his face, and called out in a low voice.

"My lord?" Li Han called out uncertainly, followed the sound and saw King Jin squatting at the gate of the camp, "You are..."

"When you went south to Mingyue, An Ziqi took you in, right?"

"Yes"

"Then you should visit him." Qin Yu looked at the few stones under his feet and continued, "Go to the imperial physician to get some traumatic medicine."

"The last general takes orders," Li Han said and wanted to leave.

"Li Han..." Qin Yu stopped him again, stood under the moonlight, hid his face and asked, "Do you know how to talk to An Ziqi?"

How to say?Li Han looked at King Jin in silence for a moment, then saluted and said, "The general will know."

"Go." Qin Yu waved his hand, stepped into the pitch-black tent, and closed the door.

Marquis An, although you have been dragged into the water, you haven't sunk to the bottom of the well yet, you can still get out, get out... I beg you!

In the military tent, Qin Yu was sitting in front of the desk, staring at the official documents on the desk, trying to pull his thoughts away from the erratic dreams.

Ever since An Ziqi pursued him without authorization, even though he saved the crisis, there was still a deadlock between Pingyao and Baiwan.

The long-term confrontation between the two armies is not good for Dayong. Regardless of the slackness of the army, the longer Wu is occupied by Mingyue, the harder it is to recover. Dayong, who has experienced repeated hardships, needs a big victory, an urgent need.

If things go on like this, even if it is King Jin, even if he has had many brilliant victories, people will still doubt whether the invincible Great Yong Army in their hearts can still protect themselves and win.

In addition to Mingyue, there is also Beidi. Qin Yu received Wang Zhongkang and Song Yi's report that Hu Yantai will soon dominate Hudi.

"The situation is irresistible." Qin Yu stood up, looked at the map again and said leisurely, "So I want to change this situation." He stared at Pingyaodu with a firm tone.

If there must be a winner between you and me, it must be this king!

Baiwan

It was the first time in his life that Lord Anhou was relegated, and there had already been a lot of waves inside and outside the court, but Lord Anhou couldn't feel it.

"Master Hou, if you move forward, you will enter the range of the Mingyue Navy." Luo Ping stood at the bow of the ship and said.

"En." An Ziqi nodded to signal the warship to stop, "Put down the boat, I'm going to visit the camp."

"Lord Hou, this matter can be sent out on horseback"

"Go quickly"

Luo Ping's persuasion was blocked in his heart, and he shook his head to prepare.

A small boat carried An Ziqi and a guard into the water quietly, and further ahead was the Mingyue Water Camp. The early morning fog had not cleared, and the boat approached quietly covered in the fog.

"Over there..." An Ziqi suddenly pointed to the black shadow on the other side.

The guard obeyed the order and approached quietly, stopped in the mist not far away and carefully looked around. An Ziqi held the boat canopy with his hand and squinted his eyes for a while.

"Is this Mingyue's grain ship?"

"Yes"

"Let's go back!"

When the boat returned, Luo Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw An Ziqi return safely, and hurriedly ordered to return to Baiwan.

营内

"Master Hou is visiting the camp to use troops against Pingyao?" Luo Ping asked.

"Mingyue's food and wages are all transported from the other side. If Pingyao is lost, can Mingyue continue to fight leisurely?" An Ziqi looked at the map and sneered.

"But..." Luo Ping asked puzzledly, "Pingyao Ferry is located behind Mingyue's army, and it is impossible for our army to occupy it." Even if it is captured temporarily, the return of the North Bank and the cooperation of the South Bank will easily recapture the Ferry.

"Then destroy it." An Ziqi narrowed his eyes, and Luo Ping was secretly startled by his sinister look.

"Hou Ye, the lord does not allow you to act without authorization"

An Ziqi glanced at him, neither agreed nor denied, and slowly left with his hands behind his back.

In the western suburbs of the capital, Sifang Mountain slowly appeared in sight. Qin Jian suddenly reined in the reins and looked at the head of the capital further away, with hesitation on his face again.

"Your Highness?" Xiang Hou rode his horse and came to his side.

"Lord Hou" Qin Jian looked ahead and said with some concern, "Uncle Wang didn't call me, so it's not right for me to come back like this."

"The concubine's funeral, as a junior, His Royal Highness must go to the funeral, and the concubine was assassinated and died, Zheng'er is sad, if the blood relatives don't go, I'm afraid the prince will blame His Royal Highness," Xiang Hou persuaded him.

Qin Jian turned back and looked at the carriage. Weizheng in the carriage was holding the door. Seeing him turn his head, he smiled softly and sweetly, which suddenly dispelled the melancholy in his heart.

"My marriage with Zheng'er should also be reported to Uncle Wang in Beijing."

"His Royal Highness is wise" assisted the waiter to salute, and immediately ordered to continue to set off.

Capital

"My lord, the king of Anxiang came to Beijing to attend the funeral for his concubine, and asked to enter the city," He Yu said to Zhao Zhiping.

"A funeral?" Zhao Zhiping looked gloomy, looked at him and asked, "Are you leading the troops?"

"There are only a hundred guards, and Xianghou's family," He Yu replied.

Xianghou... Zhao Zhiping murmured, and said to him with a frown, "Tell him, you can't let His Highness enter the city without an edict from the King of Jin. When you report back to the Queen of Jin, the Lord will invite His Highness to enter the city."

"Yes" He Yu retreated, knowing in his heart that if something went wrong, all of them would be involved in the torrent again.

At the beginning of October, no matter how cold the weather was, Qin Yu's condition relapsed, and the imperial physician hurriedly prescribed a side medicine to prevent His Royal Highness King Jin from getting angry due to his illness and implicating him.

In the big camp, Qin Yu put down the medicine bowl in his hand, his expression turned ugly for a moment, he looked at Du Xuetang in front of him and said, "When will Linjiang be ready?"

"It will take three more days, but I'm afraid it won't be as the prince wants," Du Xuetang replied.The king of Jin ordered him to mobilize the only few warships in the capital and Linjiang, but these warships were far less majestic than the Pingyao Ferry.

"Oh... this king will have to be sneaked for three days!"

"My lord, if Pingyao is occupied, the bright moon will hang alone in the north of the river, so it won't be a serious problem, but..." Du Xuetang hesitated, "But even if the east and west are attacked, the Linjiang navy is weak, and I'm afraid it won't be able to occupy Pingyao at all."

Sima Shaojun knew that Pingyao was his lifeblood, so he had always been very strict in protecting it. The entire Mingyue barracks was in front of Pingyao Ferry, and the Yong army could not occupy the land. It would be even more difficult to rely on the navy.

"I don't want to occupy it." Qin Yu understood his worries, and explained with a smile, "Pingyao is Sima Shaojun's lifeblood. Once he realizes that Pingyao is not as safe as before, he will still be able to harass Beiying unscrupulously."

"The prince is waiting for an opportunity?"

"yes"

Sima Shaojun wanted to wait for Yongjun's heart to change, while Qin Yu wanted to wait for Mingyue's negligence. Both of them believed that just one chance could turn things around.

"Sima Shaojun was just born at the wrong time"

Du Xuetang recalled what King Jin had said to him before he left for the expedition. Sima Shaojun used the simplest and most clumsy method to force King Jin, who was known for his alertness, to wait for his chance.

He had underestimated people who had insight into people's hearts, had a clear understanding of the situation, judged the situation, and were cautious.

"If that's the case..." Du Xuetang's expression suddenly tightened.

"Sir?" Qin Yu looked at him in surprise.

"Wei Chen suggested that General Wen be transferred to Yingzhou, cross Yingshui from Nanling and enter Wudi. General Wang Meng led the northern border army to go south to support, and destroy the bright moon with the force of thunder."

If a quick battle is not possible, people like Sima Shaojun will definitely become bigger, so he would rather sacrifice other places than to eliminate him, and must not leave future troubles.

This... Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, why Du Xuetang was so radical all of a sudden.

"What's going on here?"

"Sima Shaojun is too dangerous, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise..." Du Xuetang said with a gloomy tone, "It will definitely be a big trouble for the prince in the future."

He is indeed a serious problem!

Looking at Du Xuetang, Qin Yu was still amazed at his instant transformation, stood beside him with a smile and said, "Sima Shaojun is indeed powerful, but he is also expected by this king. Besides, even if this king loses his way of life, he can still retreat. However, Sima Shaojun's Pingyao crossing must not be lost. This high and one low is already our army's advantage."

"My lord, the Linjiang navy is too weak, I'm afraid it can't make Sima Shaojun feel jealous," Du Xuetang persuaded.

The best naval forces in the world are all in the state of Wu. After the state of Wu was destroyed, part of the warships of the state of Wu’s navy were sent to Yongcheng and Nanlingdu, and the warships moored in Baiwan were the rest. In the hands of Sima Shaojun.

"Hehe... Sima Shaojun is the same as this king, with constant disasters in the rear. I heard that his brother Yu Wang, who is slowing down, has appeared again. Don't worry, sir. If I can destroy the bright moon once, I can destroy the second time."

"My lord..." Du Xuetang still wanted to persuade, his stubborn look was familiar.

Qin Yu pressed his arm, and said with a smile, "It's okay to write, the northern border army can't be transferred. This king promises that if it is still like this after a while, this king will send Qiangdi Wang Botai to Yingzhou to help."

This... Du Xuetang was still hesitant, and before he could speak, Li Han outside the tent entered the door, holding an urgent official document in his hand, Qin Yu took it and opened it, frowning for a moment.

"My lord?" Du Xuetang asked.

"Jian'er went to Beijing for the funeral," Qin Yu said, handing the official document to him.

Du Xuetang swept his eyes, but he was not as worried as he was, and asked with his long eyebrows flatly, "My lord, is it true that I heard that King Anxiang married the second daughter of Marquis Xiang?"

"That's right." Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows and sat aside.

This is what worries him the most, not because of a little disobedience of seniority, the second lady of Xianghou and Qin Jian are about the same age and are a good match, but Wei Shi of Xianghou is not.

"My lord, you don't need to worry." Du Xuetang casually put down the official document, and said to him, "Since the king of Anxiang is so valued by the lord, the lord can bestow another marriage, and ask the Wei family to give up the position of princess. A concubine is not worthy of the princess." position"

"Hmm..." Qin Yu looked at him, and smiled for a moment, "I am confused."

"Then should he be allowed to enter the city?" After solving the problem, Qin Yu relaxed and asked in a brisk tone.

"I don't know about this matter..." Du Xuetang shook his head.

Um?Qin Yu was stunned again, why is Mr. Du so unpredictable today!

"Prince" Du Xuetang said with his head down halfway, "Only the prince can decide this matter, and the minister should not say much."

"My lord...understands"

Qin Yu also lowered his head halfway, and suddenly lost the intention to ask any more questions. Du Xuetang bowed and retreated. Qin Yu listened to the sound of footsteps,

"Sir," he said suddenly, "If... if this sentence is not for the courtiers?"

No... Du Xuetang smiled, so subtle that he couldn't see it, he turned around and saluted, "I still don't know, because I'm already a minister"

The tent became quiet, Du Xuetang had already left, Qin Yu sat alone and pondered for a long time, until he didn't dare to think any more, then he buried his head in the pile of documents.

three days later

In the early morning, the river was still misty, and Pingyao Ferry was heavily guarded as usual, and a large boat slowly docked at the ferry, which was the grain sent from the south bank.

The sun was higher and the fog was thinner. The soldiers on duty had just arrived, and in the direction of Dayong's camp in the west, there was suddenly the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and within a moment, Dayong's black armor appeared in sight.

The soldiers of "Liu Xiang" flew into the camp and knelt down, "Yong's army attacked the camp"

Liu Yanshen's expression changed slightly and he was not too flustered. He stood up and walked out while saying, "Who will be the general?"

"Under the banner of Marquis An Ding"

An Ziqi...Liu Yanshen paused, and said to the sentry cavalry beside him, "The flying horse reports to His Majesty that An Ziqi attacked the camp."

"Yes"

After the sentry rider left, Liu Yanshen stood on the high platform, looked at An Ziqi who was already within a stone's throw away, and instantly withdrew his expression, "Let the arrow go," he said solemnly.

"shield"

Luo Ping shouted, Jin King's army continued to rush forward without slowing down, An Ziqi hid himself under the shield, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he was bound to win.

On the hillside not far away, the King of Jin personally led the army to support An Ziqi who would return at any time.

"My lord, Lord An and Mingyue are already at war"

"En." Qin Yu nodded, then turned to look at Du Xuetang, "Where is Yue Hong?"

"At this time, General Yue should have arrived at General Zhang Tian's place. If Mingyue returns to the army, they will pursue Chu Zhang's troops," Du Xuetang replied.

"This battle can't destroy Mingyue. Tell Yue Hong and He Yu to be cautious. After gaining the upper hand, a small victory is enough. This king wants Sima Shaojun to know that Mingyue is not the only one who can use this strategy to exhaust the army."

"Yes" the sentinel galloped away.

Qin Yu looked in the direction of Pingyao, there was dust and smoke everywhere, and occasionally he could hear a few screams, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly frowned.

"Over the Linjiang Navy..."

"Don't worry, my lord." Du Xuetang took a step forward to comfort him and said, "Master Min Ke always pays attention to Pingyao, and responds immediately if something happens."

The chief general of the Linjiang Navy was a general whom Du Xuetang knew when he was under King Wu. He was quite talented, but he was never appreciated by Peng Ge.

"That's good"

King Jin nodded, the sorrow between his brows still persisted, Du Xuetang looked puzzled for a while.

"Why is your lord worried, but what's wrong with this battle?" Du Xuetang asked.

This battle was the first time that the Linjiang Navy cooperated to harass Pingyao, but it was just an ordinary dispatch, and King Jin shouldn't have been so worried.

"It's nothing." Qin Yu smiled at him, and looked in the direction of the Pingyao battlefield, "An Ziqi is a little strange."

"Ok?"

"Could it be that you are dissatisfied with this king?" He teased, holding his chin.

Du Xuetang didn't pick up on it. Although King Jin spoke in a leisurely tone, he looked ahead with unprecedented seriousness, not just seriousness about the outcome.
