Chapter 134 Expectation

There are many tablets on the shelf in front of Jiankang, the imperial palace, and the east hall in front of Tai Chi Hall. Many officials stopped in front of the shelf and looked at these tablets and talked a lot.

An official introduced the characters and identities of the representatives of each tablet to the ‘audience’.

The tablets are divided into two groups, belonging to the two Qi "Last Emperors":

The first group is the tablets of Emperor Shenwu and the ministers (deceased) who are worthy of his temple.

The second group is the tablets of Emperor Wenxiang and the ministers (deceased) who are worthy of his temple.

Emperor Shenwu was Gao Huan, Emperor Wenxiang was Gao Cheng, son of Gao Huan, and the emperor's name was both posthumous titles.

Because Gao Cheng had been in power for only a few years and many old ministers were still alive, there were very few ministers who were worthy of their temples.

These are worthy of the position and title of the Minister of the Taimiao, including posthumous gifts and posthumous titles.

Although it is just a tablet, it has great significance, because these tablets were originally enshrined in the Taimiao of Qi, Yecheng, but are now in Jiankang.

After being displayed to all the civil and military officials of the court today, they will be included in the arsenal.

With these tablets, Daliang's great martial arts can be demonstrated: the king's army attacked Yecheng, the capital of Qi, burned the Taimiao, returned all over, and came and went freely.

Among the ministers, Poyang King Xiao Fan looked at these tablets and expressed his excitement: Li Li did what he said and really led his army into Yecheng.

Even if I just entered the city for a while, I still entered. Therefore, this is the first time since I crossed south, the royal army has attacked Yecheng.

Not long ago, the governor of Xuzhou and Xinping Duke Li Li learned that the late emperor was assassinated and Qi State was involved in it. So he raised anger and crossed the Yellow River and rushed to the city of Qi's capital Yecheng.

He broke through the Qi army's numerous interceptions, attacked Yecheng from the east, killed the Qi royal family, Shangdang King Gao Huan, burned the Taimiao of Qi, and saved Xiao Yuanming, the Zhenyang Hou.

Then he retreated unconsciously and withdrew his troops back to Xuzhou. How could such martial arts not make people excited?

Only nearly thirty years ago, during the Datong period, could Chen Qingzhi lead 7,000 troops and horses to escort Yuan Hao, a member of the Yuan Wei clan, into Luoyang, be able to compete with him.

That year, Xiao Fan was thirty years old.

The past is vivid in my mind. Thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Sixty-year-old Xiao Fan saw another exciting "battle into Beijing". If he could not be excited.

Li Li is less than thirty years old.

There is no doubt that Qi will launch a large-scale counterattack next, and it is very likely to cross Huai south, burn, kill and loot.

However, according to Li Li's judgment, as long as the front-line cities in Huainan are strictly prepared, the Qi army will sooner or later be forced to aim its troops at Xuzhou, Huainan, because it is concerned about the fierce attack of the Liang army by the Qingzhou area.

At that time, Li Li will be responsible for solving the main force of the Qi army and resolving the crazy attack of Qi.

If others say this, Xiao Fan will only think that the other party is arrogant, but if Li Li says this, he will believe that the other party can do it.

If it does, it will be of great benefit to Xiao Fan, which will facilitate him to seize power in the center.

Xiao Fan was looking forward to the future, and the officials who visited the tablets were also happy. Some officials sighed: "Donald Xinping is really a pillar of the country, and it is not in vain that the late emperor took the name "Weizhen".

This feeling was recognized by other officials. Even if some people despise Li Li's background, no one can question Li Li's performance.

Since Hou Jing's rebellion in the second year of Taiqing, Li Li's performance has been worthy of the grace of the late emperor and the heavy responsibility shouldered by the position of governor of Xuzhou in nearly ten years.

Li Li guarded Xuzhou, Huaibei, to defend the northern border and protect the safety of Huainan. It is no exaggeration for others to praise "the pillar of the country".

On the side, King Xiao Yi of Xiangdong was a little distracted.

After a while ago, he was incompetent and sick. In addition, Xiao Fan, the King of Poyang, settled his position and assisted the government by resolving the major case of rebellion. Naturally, Xiao Yi could not get it back.

Princess Xu Zhaopei has returned to the palace, and is extremely arrogant. She is always fighting against him and confronts the Wang sisters. The atmosphere in the palace of Xiangdong is extremely subtle.

Xiao Yi, who was exhausted, hated Xu Zhao's penis, but he could not divorce his wife, so he could only deal with him, so he had no intention of fighting for power and profit.

When she thought of the poisonous woman today, she didn't know what else she would do, Xiao Yi's eyes were dim and her back looked a little bleak.

To him, the tablets of the monarch and ministers of Qi who had been "seied" seemed to have no existence.

......

In private, Peng Junzheng and Wang Lin were drinking with him, and his subordinates were there, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Peng Jun escorted Zhenyang Hou Xiao Yuanming back to Jiankang, and as one of the main generals of the official army entering Ye, he returned to Beijing to report his victory. Therefore, he had a lot of social engagements in the past few days and kept telling others about the process of the battle.

Wang Lin was invited to visit today, so Peng Jun naturally wanted to introduce it, but the focus was on what he saw and heard along the way, while the details of the battle were vaguely brought by.

Especially how to annihilate the enemy troops in the eastern suburbs of Yecheng, how to break the door, how to stick to the streets after entering the city, and instantly defeat the invading enemy.

Because it involves artillery, the battle process cannot be told according to the truth. Peng Jun gave a reasonable reason according to the "lines" taught by Li Li.

That is: although the enemy is fierce, our soldiers fought hard and caught the opponent off guard. When he was stunned, they entered the city to burn the Taimiao, rescue Zhenyang Hou, and then retreat immediately.

Peng Jun made an analogy:

"It's like a powerful child traveling with many followers, and we were lying on the wall, and while he passed by, he jumped down and slapped him and ran away, and he was just a surprise."

"This trick can only be used once, but it will not work in the future. Now let's do it again, I'm afraid that even the Yellow River will not be able to pass."

This metaphor is very vivid, Wang Lin smiled and said, "They thought that if you gather ships on the south bank to the north bank, you will not be able to cross the river without a ship."

"I didn't expect that you actually loaded the ship on wheels, like a carriage, and took it on the war without using their ship."

Wang Lin's 'left arm' Yin Yan had dealt with Li Li and Peng Jun before, and was quite familiar with each other and sincerely praised: "Li Lang always unexpectedly used military service. Who would have thought of loading wheels on the ship?"

Peng Jun smiled and waved his hand: "Don't talk about you, we didn't expect it, so how could Beilu think of it? He thought he could rest assured if he took the boat, but the defenders of Jindu, North Bank, were finished before they could react."

Yin Yan asked: "Are the Northern Lu cavalry powerful?"

"Awesome, they are all tall horses, they run fast and pain-resistant. They can charge for armor and fight hard, but you know that no matter how thick armor is, they will be destroyed by a horse spear."

"I am a forward and open the way. Because I move quickly, the main force of the Beilu had no time to intercept it, so we rushed into the outskirts of Yecheng."

"We launched an attack at night to avoid the opponent's cavalry."

"When we retreated to the south bank, we set up horse-rejected horses on the road, sprinkled caltrops, and dug horse pits everywhere. In addition, we retreated quickly, and we were not caught up by the main force of the Qi army, so there was no fierce battle."

Wang Lin's 'right arm' Lu Na asked, "What about the retreat? The Qi army in Henan is watching like this?"

"Where will I watch? Of course they will come to seize Puyang Jin." Peng Jun said with spitting, "Liang Lang guards the southern bank Jin Ferry, but we are guarding the way forward."

"Since you are defending, you have no choice but to defend yourself or not, but you can't just guard it. Liang Lang led his cavalry to constantly deal with the enemy, attacking everywhere, and fighting his life, and only barely dispersed the invading enemy."

"It's a blessing that we came back quickly. If we delayed for a few more days, we would probably not be able to cross the river."

Speaking of this, Peng Jun laughed again: "To put it bluntly, this time I entered Ye, I caught the other party off guard. I was talking about the word "fast", but it was Maduo..."

"You don't know that in order to achieve 'fast' in this attack, we used all the horses we can use, but it's not enough, so we just use the donkey to make up the numbers."

Yin Yan and others widened their eyes: "A donkey is OK?"

"Just make up the numbers, there are always ways. People can't be suffocated to death by urine!"

Peng Jun always couldn't change his vulgarity in speaking, but for Wang Lin's subordinates, this seemed "appropriate" because they were all from the grassroots and could not be so literary.

After listening to Peng Jun’s detailed explanation of the battle process of entering Ye, Wang Lin and others understood: this battle was based on ‘unexpected’, rather than ‘sweeping all the way and being invincible’.

The Qi army is still strong and has many cavalry. They will not be careless when fighting with the Qi army in the Lianghuai River.

"It's not that I am ambition to others and destroy my own prestige. Qi Jun is really powerful."

Peng Jun looked serious. "We actually did not defeat the opponent's main force head-on in the wild wave battle."

"This time, Li Lang burned the Taimiao of Qi State, and the Qi army would inevitably go south in large numbers. They were not stupid. They would not go head-on to Hanshan as soon as they came up, and they would be more likely to cross the Huai River and enter Huainan."

"At that time, you will lead your army to fight with him, so be careful."

Wang Lin had received an order and was about to lead his troops to Huainan to garrison, and work with other generals, as well as governors and county magistrates from various parts of Huainan to resist the large-scale attack that Qi State was about to launch.

The Taimiao was burned, just like a clan ancestral hall was demolished. This is second only to the great humiliation of the digging of the ancestral tomb. It can be seen that the State of Qi will not give up.

Therefore, the Xuzhou Army, which had rich experience in fighting with the Qi army, needed to share the combat experience as much as possible, which is also one of the things that Peng Jun had to do when he came to Jiankang.

He had socialized in the past few days, and the guests were all military generals, many of whom were about to enter the Huai River to cooperate in defense, so he had to remind the other party that he could not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Qi army just because Li Li led his army to Ye for battle.

Seeing Peng Jun's kindness reminder, Wang Lin nodded: "Don't worry, there is no joke on the battlefield, we will be very energetic and deal with Qi army."

"If we can withstand the attack of Qi army this time, the opportunity will come." Peng Jun laughed again, "If we can annihilate its main force, then the next step is to occupy Huaibei, which is not a dream."

His words made the guests present look forward to it: Yes, with the brave and good at fighting Li Li, defeating the main force of the Qi army, and taking advantage of the situation to counterattack. It is also very likely that all the prefectures and counties in Huaibei!

It is precisely because Li Li has always performed well and has made great achievements in Ye that the generals are full of confidence in the upcoming war.

The court has made arrangements to strengthen the defense of the two Huaihe Rivers, and Chen Baxian is the governor of Yuzhou and is in charge of Shouyang, Huainan.

Wang Lin, who had been fighting with the Western Wei (now the Zhou Kingdom) in border prefectures for many years, helped defend Nan Xuzhou and reinforced the prefectures to govern Zhongli.

The last general Yang Yaren will lead his army to Huaiyin. According to the situation, he will either reinforce Xuzhou, rescue Huainan, or go north to Qingzhou to attack the Qingzhou area.

Of course, the person who stood in front and faced the Qi army's military front was still the governor of Xuzhou and the Duke of Xinping Li Li.

The key to this battle is whether Li Li can block the storm and storm.

Countless people were looking forward to Li Li's miracle. If the Liang army could withstand the attack of Qi at a relatively small price, then next, they would follow the trend and attack northward and occupy Huaibei, which was not a dream.

Peng Jun knew that Wang Lin and his heroes were looking forward to making achievements day and night, and now he was ready to do something big, and raised his glass and wished, "I wish you all the best, and you will be successful!"
