Chapter 678: Almighty Li Yongsheng
Strictly speaking, the elite military players were not surprised by the current situation of the Boling Army's southern expedition troops.
Although it is said that the master is killed by random punches, it is rare for the army formed by the new recruit Danzi to be able to fight to the present.
Everyone's surprise was nothing more than the beginning of the Boling Army when it went south to Sanxiang, so amazing that everyone had expectations beyond the usual circumstances. Now the Southern Expedition Army was defeated in two regiments, which was nothing more than being beaten back to its original form.
But even so, Boling Military Service House set an example for military service houses in other counties.
As long as you dare to fight, you will lose at most. Moreover, the Boling Army tightly restrained King Jing's army in Sanxiang, making him unable to go north. Strategically, it is not considered a loss.
What caused a headache for the imperial court and the Tian family was that Wang Zhiyun sent a document for help.
Boling County needs food and wages, war horses and weapons, and other surrounding counties need to support the war situation in the Three Hunan Provinces-Baiyue counties can send troops north, and Qiangui County can advance east.
However, the two counties had their own situations. Bai Yue was responsible for the grain and rice of the capital, and the mountains were not easy to turn over. Qiangui County had no food and grass, so it was difficult to send troops. It was also difficult to suffer from disasters over the years, and the local chieftains were not stable.
However, from this, it also shows how important the secret decree Li Yongsheng invited to Shuntian Prefecture was.
If Wang Zhiyun had no secret order and had to send troops to Sanxiang rashly, he would encounter such a war situation, let alone asking for help from the court, the court might even pursue the charge of sending troops without authorization and provoking the war across borders.
However, with the secret decree, the court could not think about this. The secret decree was inconvenient to publicize it, but the Tian family could not go back on their word.
However, in the face of Boling's request for help, the court was a little helpless. In the end, he gritted his teeth and ordered the county magistrate of Yuzhou to allocate a batch of grain and rice to Boling, and then ordered the military envoys of Yuzhou to allocate a batch of military supplies to Boling.
The military commander of Yuzhou jumped straight away. I have sent 50,000 troops north to serve the king, and we also have to prepare military supplies - where did we get so many military supplies?
Now the court will not agree. Your 50,000 troops and various military supplies are now supplied by Youzhou. How dare you say that there is no military supply in your warehouse?
Then I, Yuzhou, still have to protect myself. The county magistrate and the military envoy jointly wrote a letter, and King Xiang held troops in the eastern border of Yuzhou, and our troops were also restrained here. Military funds were allocated to Boling. What if there is any loss in Yuzhou?
At the critical moment, Li Qingming came forward. He said that it is not impossible for Yuzhou to not allocate military funds, but it is necessary to immediately expedition the east and enter Haidai to attack King Xiang.
Choose one of these two conditions, please discuss it slowly.
The county magistrate and military envoy of Yuzhou expressed difficulties again. King Xiang's army was fierce and our Yuzhou soldiers were not in time to defend, so how could we attack?
They didn't say that they didn't dare to fight, but just said that if they lost the fight, they would not only lose the trust of the court, but also worried that King Xiang's army would rush into Yuzhou.
Li Qingming said coldly: Wang Zhiyun lost, but who blamed him in the court? The court did not order you to attack Haidai, it was already very generous. Now it is just to allocate some food, rice and military supplies. What are you talking about?
You have figured it out, it is allocated, and the court will make up for you later!
If you refuse to transfer it, then go to Haidai in the east. It doesn’t matter if you lose. I don’t think it’s a big deal to enter Yuzhou. It just relieves the pressure on Youzhou County.
In fact, there were many people in the court who wanted King Xiang to attack Yuzhou - it was always better to come and attack Youzhou.
But this statement cannot be said explicitly. Yuzhou has a fertile land of thousands of miles and a large population. Once it is occupied by King Xiang, the potential for war can be increased many times in an instant.
Moreover, once Yuzhou falls, it will cut off the connection between the court and the central and southern regions. If the government orders are not inconsistent, the goods will be blocked - the central and southern regions are the granary of Central and Earth.
There are clouds in Youzhou, and I don’t know how many people hope that the battlefield can be transferred to Yuzhou, but no one dares to really say this.
Li Qingming took the opportunity to say this, not because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to let Yuzhou County understand that this war was not something that Yuzhou could stay out of the matter. It was already a blessing that you could live and work in peace now.
In the end, the military envoys in Yuzhou surrendered. Well, I will send a batch of military envoys to Yuzhou.
The court was worried about more than this. For Yuzhou County, this was a huge matter, but if it was put in the court, it would not be a problem.
What is a matter? For example, Rouran is becoming more and more provocative at the border.
For example, the King of Qin sent troops to block the passage to the west, and wanted to capture the family of assassins to find out the envoy behind the scenes.
There are many passages to the Western Xinjiang, but the passage blocked by the King of Qin is the best and most prosperous, with many water sources, supplies and trading places.
The most important thing is that the behavior of the Qin Prince's Mansion is a bit disrespectful to the court no matter how you look at it. If the court does not respond, there may be a big chaos in the future.
So the Tian family issued an order to summon him. I heard that King Qin is injured, come to Shuntian Mansion for treatment. There are many famous doctors here.
At this time, if King Qin was killed, he would not dare to go to Shuntian Prefecture.
Thinking about some time ago, the Imperial Concubine had not died and the two kings had not rebelled, the King of Ying was imprisoned in Shuntian, and almost couldn't return to Daming Mansion. Fortunately, Xuan was assassinated.
Not to mention that he was blocking traffic, among the current princes, the only ones who dared to go to Shuntian Prefecture are probably Ying and Cheng Wang.
So the King of Qin said, thank you for your concern, but I was a little hurt and I really couldn't get out of here.
The two sides had been entangled for many days, but the road could not be blocked all the time. Finally, the young emperor finally made a decision: Let's do this, I'll send a few imperial physicians to treat you, and Yin Jiutian will follow you.
Generally speaking, Yin Jiutian will not leave Shuntian Mansion. There are too many powerful people here. Whoever wants to ask him to treat his illness will never hurt him. As a doctor, he should have persisted so much.
If he could invite him out of Shuntian Prefecture, he would be a great figure in Youzhou County. As for talking about Youzhou County, there were only a few times - for example, the aunt of the late Taihuang Concubine was once critically ill and could not come to Shuntian. The Taihuang Concubine came forward and dispatched a special flying boat to send Master Yin to treat her illness.
Now that Youzhou County is in a battle, there are many military generals who need treatment. At this time, the Tian family can send Master Yin to the Qin King's fiefdom for treatment, which shows its sincerity.
It is also a headache for Rouran to invade the border. There are already thousands of rangers in Zhongtu, who rushed to the border not far from the two countries, but Rouran is becoming more and more provocative as if he had taken Dali Pills.
I don’t know when there were rumors in the capital that if the Grand Sima could tour the north, he would definitely shock the young man.
The Tian family thought this statement made sense, but he also doubted whether this was a trap set by someone.
After all, the military bosses he could rely on were mainly Li Shuai and Li Qingming. Kun Shuai supported the Tian family and was also reliable, but she was not close to the Tian family. If something happened to her, the military would definitely be in chaos again.
Will something happen to Shuai Kun? No one can tell this clearly. Although she has a tight guard beside her, as long as she doesn't bring the army to her, others will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
There are other major events, such as, did King Ning have a tacit understanding with King Jing? Did King Jin collude with Rouran?
There are too many major events for the young emperor here, and the matter of asking for assistance from the Boling Army is not a major event.
But for Wang Zhiyun, this was a first-class event. When he received the relevant news, he couldn't help but stomp his feet hard, "Bastard!"
Why are you scolding like this? It’s not because you didn’t receive military aid, but because the military service officers in Yuzhou stored the ordnance and grain transported by the army commander of the Yuzhou Province into a warehouse very close to the Boling border and were no longer transported south.
This is the people of Yuzhou who are unhappy, so they intentionally make things difficult for Boling: We are ready for military aid, when will you come to take it?
But Boling cannot blame the other party. After all, transporting supplies is risky. If the other party is willing to help, it is a favor. If it is unwilling to help, it is also a duty.
In fact... the people of Yuzhou still have a little more thought about Boling's jokes. When they dispatched grain, rice and weapons, they did not hide it from others, and just transported it to the warehouse in such a big way.
As long as you have a little brain, you can think that this thing is likely to be for Bo Ling - if you are preparing for King Xiang, you should travel east, not south.
Wang Jun’s military commander didn’t have much time to lead troops, but he had seen many tricks in the government. The magistrate of Boling County was also a good player in making plans. He pointed out clearly: Yuzhou is using military aid as a guide to make the rebels focus on Boling!
Their views are indeed the same.
Things in Yuzhou are not that easy to take. This is Tietie's act of attracting hatred. Boling is likely to encounter sneak attacks during the transportation process. Even if it does not encounter sneak attacks, it will make the rebels pay more attention to Boling, and Yuzhou will of course be easier.
This behavior is very abominable, but from the standpoint of the county magistrate and military envoy of Yuzhou, it is not wrong to say it.
Wang Zhiyun thought for a long time and felt that he could not send a large army to transport supplies.
The army will definitely not hide it from others, at least others will know that Boling has received assistance.
After Boling received assistance, he must have follow-up measures - other people's grain and rice are not so easy to get.
But if you don’t want it, it’s impossible. Boling has some military reserves, but it can’t be said to be rich. Such a place where grandma doesn’t love my uncle and doesn’t love me, and he almost vomits blood even if he gets some war horses. You can imagine the military reserves.
More importantly, when obtaining these military funds, Boling also needs to consider putting some of them into two large isolated troops that were shrinking in Sanxiang.
The part close to Boling cannot be considered a lonely army and has connections with Boling. However, the guests in King Jing Naxian's Pavilion are very active and often intercept and kill on the road.
The lonely army next to Lei Valley is really miserable. The road in the middle was cut off by the Jingwang army, and Lei Valley also said that if you do not participate in the war, you will not provide military funds to the lonely army.
The 30,000 troops were completely trapped there. Although they were safe and worry-free, they were basically disarmed.
That's right, there were 30,000 troops. When Lei Gu took the rescue, less than 30,000 people were saved. However, these days, a small number of defeated troops rushed there, and now there are more than 30,000 people.
Wang Zhiyun gritted his teeth, "I have to contact Li Yongsheng."
