[Chapter 518] Damn Zhenyuan Pass, it's terrible!
【Today's third update is delivered!】
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Fanyuan said with emotion: "If Ciqing Palace heard what you said, you should be very happy. The weakness of Ciqing Palace is that it has too little military power. With the protection of Concubine Zheng, the people of the Fuwang Party can intervene randomly, be unscrupulous and not afraid of punishment. Ciqing Palace cannot do it. Ciqing Palace must live carefully...
"This time, a large amount of military supplies from Xuanfu Town were secretly handed over to Lin Danhan, which was done by the people of the Fuwang Party. I said these guys are simply lawless and do not take the interests of the country seriously. If Lin Danhan counterattacked, these military towns would probably all be ruined."
Xu Xingxia said lightly: "I don't think that lacking military power is a bad thing. If the prince currently has too much military power, do you think that old man who is dying can feel at ease? If Concubine Zheng does not take the opportunity to sue him for a gangster, she will not be Concubine Zheng. If the Fuwang Party wants to seize military power, it will be better for them. How many troops can they capture? How much combat power can they have?"
Zhu Fanyuan's face immediately became cautious. Xu Xingxia said that he naturally understood. What the emperor was most attached to was power. They were all most afraid of their heirs for usurping the throne. In order to protect their power, they must take decisive measures. If Ciqing Palace had military power, it would be difficult to ensure that Emperor Wanli would not be deeply suspicious. Once such suspicion was found, coupled with Concubine Zheng's pillow style, the prince's fate could be imagined.
At that time, no one knew how Emperor Chengzu got to power. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, as long as the emperor was not a fool, he would pay special attention to prevent the prince from being infected with military power. In the Ming Dynasty, the collusion between ministers and border generals in the court was a result of the family being confiscated and exterminated. When Xia Yan was executed, it was a serious crime to be punished. Even court officials colluded with border generals, not to mention the crown prince or vassal kings or other things.
Zhu Fanyuan looked at Xu Xingxia secretly, and the doubts in his heart became even stronger. How could this guy know so much? It seems that this truth is not something that he, a young man who has not been in his prime, can deeply understand. However, these words were so natural when he said it from his mouth, as if he had been accustomed to such things. He is such a freak.
It’s true that the current crown prince is indeed a sensitive period. It is also the most difficult and darkest thing. Concubine Zheng wants to take him away, but Emperor Wanli wants to take him away. I don’t know how cruel the enemy behind him is. His only support is probably the courtiers. Fortunately, he has occupied the rightful position and is the legitimate crown prince. As for this, scholars who know etiquette and integrity will not easily change their courses.
With the support of ministers, the prince only needs to be a human being with his tail between his tail, not cause trouble and not give the enemy an excuse to attack. He does not need to make any political achievements, nor does he need to make any eye-catching actions. The only thing he needs to do is to take good care of his body, wait patiently, and compete with time. As long as Emperor Wanli returns to the west, he can successfully inherit the emperor. No matter how strong the Fuwang Party is, he will not dare to learn from Chengzu Jingnan.
However, if the prince is too active, especially trying to seize military power, things will only develop in a bad direction. Before the last moment, which emperor is willing to give up his power? At that time, Concubine Zheng will be in danger, and the position of the prince will be in danger. "Fighting for the foundation of the country", "Demon Book Case", "Up-up Case", "Red Want to the Red Wan case" and "The Palace Move..." These sensational words are all related to Concubine Zheng. It is absolutely impossible for you to say that she does not have the ability to make trouble.
In the 41st year of Wanli, the traitor Kong Xue was instructed by some people to frame the prince, which made the prince very passive. Later, the truth gradually emerged, and the person who instructed Confucius behind him was very likely to be Concubine Zheng. Later, the case of the attack was also the shadow of Concubine Zheng. Therefore, the woman Concubine Zheng must not be beautiful.
If he really caught the handle, Ciqing Palace would be really dangerous. Emperor Wanli always tended to be the King of Fu in his heart.
After a long silence, Zhu Fanyuan said slowly: "If the military towns get up and cause trouble, what can you do to deal with?"
Xu Xingxia said lightly: "What's the matter? Just erase it."
Zhu Fanyuan couldn't help but shook his back and shook his back with a cold breeze. When he said to the side of his mouth, he quietly shrank back. This man's tone was a little too relaxed. What does it mean to erase? Should the entire military town be erased, or should he only erase the confidants of the Fuwang Party? Rationally, he believed what Xu Xingxia said was to erase the confidants of the Fuwang Party. But his emotional thinking told him that if necessary, Xu Xingxia would not mind erasing the entire military town.
Alas, the White-Clothing Army is too strong, which is really not a good thing. No matter what Xu Xingxia does, the people around her have to be worried and as if they are cold. Because they have no binding force on Xu Xingxia and his White-Clothing Army. The only one who can restrain Xu Xingxia is himself. If he goes crazy, loses his mind, and is hysterical, he is afraid that the world will be in chaos. By that time, there will be a good show.
Xu Xingxia asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhu, what is your expression?"
Zhu Fanyuan hurriedly tried to stabilize his thoughts and said in a concealment: "Is there no well?"
Xu Xingxia nodded suspiciously and did not continue to ask questions. In fact, for Xu Xingxia, he was not worried about the succession of the crown prince Zhu Changluo. As long as he was willing, no one could take away Zhu Changluo's throne. Instead, he was a little worried about Zhu Youxiao. This worry was not about his succession, but about his performance after he came to power. If Zhu Changluo was still a normal person, Zhu Youxiao was really not a normal person. He was not suitable to be an emperor at all.
If this carpenter emperor really becomes the emperor, the Ming Dynasty's country would be really over. Of course, if he replaces Wei Zhongxian's role, then it's not a spoonful... Bah bah bah bah! What does it mean to replace Wei Zhongxian's role? That's too much! I don't want to be a eunuch! What do I mean if I control Zhu Youxiao in my hands, it would be easy... As a puppet, Zhu Youxiao is still very qualified...
This time it was Zhu Fanyuan's turn to ask in confusion: "General Xu, what are you thinking?"
Xu Xingxia came to her senses and said with a smile: "I was wondering, what kind of puppets should we build after defeating Mo Rigen and Lin Danhan?"
Zhu Fanyuan did not doubt that he was, and said seriously: "Just be obedient."
Xu Xingxia nodded with a smile. Suddenly, she thought that if she was in charge of the country as her brother-in-law and Zhu Youxiao was so obedient, it seemed that there was no need to use martial arts...
"Sir, the Leopard Cavalry has returned to the Heishan Camp and is following your instructions." Zhang Tianhao suddenly came to Xu Xingxia and reported in a low voice.
"I understand. Go and do it." Xu Xingtuo nodded and said that he knew.
In order to better welcome the "joint visit" of Lin Danhan and Mo Rigen, Xu Xingxia made some minor adjustments to the deployment of the White Army. The main content was that the Shooting Army sent part of the team to monitor the movements in Xi'an Prefecture and Shanxi Province. The Leopard Cavalry, which was originally responsible for monitoring Xi'an Prefecture, withdrew from the Heishan Camp and increased the organization to 3,000 people as the general reserve team for the battle. Xu Xingxia gave the Leopard Cavalry a training time for one month.
The arrival of Mo Rigen increased the difficulty of the White Army encircling and annihilation of the enemy. The original plan was that only Lin Danhan had about 50,000 people in his pocket.
With the combat effectiveness of the White Army and the advantages in the terrain, Lin Danhan can still be severely injured. However, it is unlikely to implement this plan now. Because, with Morigen's Tatar cavalry, the enemies in this pocket have exceeded 100,000.
There are a total of 100,000 people, which is not a small number. The white-clothed army on the front line has a total of less than 20,000 people. It is very difficult to encircle and annihilate so many enemies. If it is not done well, the losses themselves may be relatively large. The plan is not as fast as the change. At present, we can only adjust and deploy according to the actual situation. Xu Xingxia's current guaranteed goal is to prepare to chew off a piece of meat on Lin Danhan and Mo Rigen.
"There are Tatars again." Zhu Dianyuan suddenly said, holding up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said.
Xu Xingxia raised the Qianli Mirror and stared quietly at the Gobi Desert in the northwest. Sure enough, a Tatar cavalry quietly appeared in the sight of Qianli Mirror. This Tatar cavalry seemed a little special. Their weapons were all bows and arrows. Judging from their actions, they should be very clever riding archers. Moreover, their identities should be very special. Because, with their arrival, the Tatars' whistle and cavalry were avoided from far away.
There is also a guy who is obviously a big shot among this Tatar cavalry. His appearance is actually nothing special. However, the Tatars around him acted on him as the center. His every move affected the entire Tatar cavalry team. If you guessed it wrong, Morigen should have arrived in person. Only he has such momentum. At the time, when he was in the Fortress of Kalong Mountain, Morigen also appeared like this.
"Did Mo Rigen arrive in person?" Zhu Fanyuan also saw it and asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's him, Mo Rigen." Xu Xingxia slowly put down the Qianli Mile Mile and said lightly. This guy appeared in Zhenyuan Pass himself, which means that the storm was getting closer and closer to Zhenyuan Pass. In Gulang City, Mo Rigen did not achieve his goal. Does he have any chance at Zhenyuan Pass?
Zhu Fanyuan's guess was indeed correct. Morigen did exist in that group of Tatar cavalry. The one surrounded by Tatar cavalry was Morigen, known as the Tatar Arrow God. After evacuating Gansu Town, he led his troops to cross the Tengger Desert with difficulty and finally arrived near Zhenyuan Pass. As soon as he took a breath, he couldn't wait to come to Zhenyuan Pass to inspect the war preparations himself.
Seriously speaking, this time Morigen was definitely defeated by Maicheng through the Tengger Desert. This was completely beyond his plan. Before heading south, he never expected that his plan would hit the nail hard and failed so seriously. Fortunately, the Tatars were also very hard-working and adaptable to harsh environments. Otherwise, in the well passing through the Tengger Desert, the army would collapse.
"Damn it, Zhenyuan Pass..." Mo Rigen frowned and said to himself. His expression was obviously not very good. Originally, the defense of Gulang City made Mo Rigen feel a headache. However, when he saw the majestic Zhenyuan Pass, Mo Rigen realized that he might as well continue to attack Gulang City. Under the cover of cannons, he would have the chance to break the city. However, when attacking Zhenyuan Pass, there was definitely no hope of attacking Zhenyuan Pass. Even if he was an idiot, he could see that Zhenyuan Pass was difficult to deal with.
"King, this Zhenyuan Pass is indeed a bit tricky!" The Tatars who spoke, named Gaijiaofan, was Morigen's heart. When Morigen led his team south, he led some of the Tatar cavalry to directly attack Ningxia Town, attract some of the white-clothed troops, and reduce Morigen's frontal pressure. As a result, no progress was made in all his attacks, but no less than a thousand corpses were left behind in front of Zhenyuan Pass.
Mo Rigen was obviously a little unhappy about Gaijiufan's slow action. His original purpose was to Gaijiufan attract the main force of the White Army to reduce his resistance to march towards Ningxia Town. As a result, all the main force of the White Army went to Gansu Town, causing him great trouble. However, the main force of the White Army came out in full swing, and Gaijiufan actually failed to take down Zhenyuan Pass. Such ability really annoyed Mo Rigen.
Originally, Mo Rigen was preparing to take down the incompetent Gaijiufan immediately after he arrived in Zhenyuan Pass and dealt with it seriously. He would never be stingy with the incompetent subordinates. He would throw away what should be killed and kill what should be dealt with. Who told you that you are incompetent? Incompetent people should be eliminated. But seeing the towering Zhenyuan Pass, Mo Rigen had to change his mind. Because, facing such a strong fortress, it would be difficult for him to conquer it. It was not that Gaijiufan was incompetent, but that the white-clothed army was really too difficult to deal with.
Gai Jiaofan naturally understood that his boss was quite dissatisfied with him. In fact, there was nothing to defend Gai Jiaofan for not conquering Zhenyuan Pass. He had to accept severe disposal without completing the tasks assigned by Mo Rigen. However, he did not do it either. The white-clothed army of Zhenyuan Pass was really strong in combat. As long as the Tatar cavalry approached and Zhenyuan Pass, there was a fierce shooting immediately, and they rushed over. Recently, Zhenyuan Pass was said to have increased the number of cannons, making it even more difficult to deal with.
"Everyone said, what should we do now?" Mo Rigen said coldly. Although he tried hard to control his inner emotions, he still seemed a little impatient in his words. He had no choice but to pin his hopes here. He hoped to break into Ningxia Town from Zhenyuan Pass and catch the white-clothed army off guard, and gave Xu Xingxia a profound lesson.
However, he did not expect that after he arrived at Zhenyuan Pass, he realized that his plan might have died again. Faced with such a powerful Zhenyuan Pass, his plan had no possibility of implementation. In other words, it was impossible for him to enter Ningxia Town, nor could he teach Xu Xingxia a lesson. It turned out that everything he did was in vain.
If I had known this, it would have been better to retreat directly to the north of the desert. After all, to withdraw to my nest, you don’t need to cross the Tengger Desert. Do you think it’s easy to cross the Tengger Desert? It’s a heavy price. Almost every time you walk a distance, you have to pay a living life. The upsurge of frustration and disappointment is really hard to hide. Even if you are as strong as Mo Rigen, you are no exception.
No one said anything. It seemed that everyone had a seal on their mouths. In fact, their mood was similar to Mo Rigen. At the beginning, they still had a little hope, and felt that they still had a chance to turn the tide and recover a little loss. If they could find the defensive loopholes of the White Army, they might be able to give Xu Xingxia a little bit of defense. However, after seeing the majestic Zhenyuan Pass, their last little hope was completely shattered. It was unrealistic to try to enter Zhenyuan Pass from here!
Damn Xu Xingxia, the damn white-clothed army, is really too evil. They didn't give the Tatars any chance at all. The Tatars had no idea when Zhenyuan Pass was built. The Zhenyuan Pass in their impression had no defense ability at all. They just needed a kick to kick it away. Mo Rigen's decision to transfer troops to Zhenyuan Pass was judged based on the situation of Zhenyuan Pass in his impression. Who could imagine that Zhenyuan Pass had completely changed its appearance in just one year?
No wonder Xu Xingxia dared to lead the main force of the White Army to intercept the Tatars in Gansu Town. It was really his rear, very safe and didn't need to worry at all. Faced with such a fierce and powerful opponent, and his thinking was so secretive, Mo Rigen could only sigh that he was unlucky. However, he would definitely not be willing to retreat like this. Because Lin Danhan has not come yet. Perhaps Mo Rigen has not been able to conquer Zhenyuan Pass, but Lin Danhan has it?
The Tatars did suffer some losses when they crossed the Tengger Desert. Fortunately, it is winter now. The temperature in the Tengger Desert is not that high. As long as there are enough clothes to protect the cold at night, they can barely survive the disaster. However, even so, one of the ten people fell into the Tengger Desert for a long time. In addition to the losses in Gansu Town, Morigen's losses were actually very large. If this time, Morigen still had no choice but to pry open the gate of Ningxia Town, Morigen would be in trouble. In any case, he had to fight.
"Gaojiaofan, strengthen the harassment in the direction of Helan Mountain!" Mo Rigen issued a death order. Before Lin Danhan arrived, he must do it and transfer all the white-clothed army troops stationed in Zhenyuan Pass to various passes in Helan Mountain. Only in this way can there be hope of conquering Zhenyuan Pass.
"As for your order!" Gai Jiaofan hurriedly agreed to go.
Chapter completed!
