Chapter 417: Sending troops and fighting
After Yuan Wenshu returned to the mansion, he went to his wife's room. After all, the war was about to start and he wanted to go there.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw that my wife was coaxing her son, so I stepped forward and said, "Madam, let me show you my son first. I have something to tell you."
Minglan handed her son to Xiaotao as soon as she heard this, and then said, "What's wrong with the official today? What's wrong?"
"Madam, I'm almost ready here. The fight will start soon. I'm going to set off to Leizhou in a few days." Yuan Wenshu said
"Ah? So fast?" After Minglan finished speaking, she wanted to say something, but she endured it again.
Seeing this, Yuan Wenshu walked up and said, "Madam, don't worry, you are a great man, I have a great life, there will be no trouble." After that, he pulled the lady into his arms.
"Well, that official, please be careful. I'll wait for you to come back in the mansion." Minglan said
"Well, madam, you see I'll leave in a few days, are we?" Yuan Wenshu said.
After hearing this, Minglan didn't say anything, but Yuan Wenshu immediately understood what his wife meant when he saw this.
Five days passed in a flash, and it was time for Yuan Wenshu to set off for Leizhou. Minglan looked at the team that was leaving, his face was full of worries.
Yuan Wenshu was also very reluctant to give up at this time, but this battle was crucial. The southwest was his foundation, so he could not fail. He had to fight this battle himself to be at ease.
As time went by, Li Xun, who was far away in Shenglong City, also received news from the border. At this time, he was furious in the hall.
"What? Are you talking about Dali and Wei, and you are adding troops to the frontier at the same time? What are they going to do? You only now know about such a big news, what is the use of raising you waste!" Li Xun shouted loudly and scolded.
The people below dared not speak because they knew how bad the former prime minister had.
So no one dared to touch him at this time, and Li Xun became even more angry when he saw them not talking.
"You don't talk, are you? You don't talk, are you? Well, then, just let me say, you all listen."
"No need to worry about the Wei State for now, send people to Dali first. The emperor of Dali has just ascended the throne. At this time, we should not easily move troops. I think we must have been bewitched by Wei State."
"Also, mobilize heavy troops to Langshan for me and must block the Wei army. If Wei does not attack, Dali will definitely retreat."
"Remember, the purpose of those who go to Dali is to delay their time of sending troops, so you just need to hold on to Dali." Li Xundao
"Your Majesty," the ministers hurriedly knelt down and shouted.
Li Xun walked towards the bedroom angrily. These wastes in the court only knew that they could not share my worries at all.
If it weren't for those people who had no intention of resisting me before, how could they have killed them all, so that there was no one available now.
However, Li Xun did not regret this. Even if he did it again, he would kill those people without hesitation.
Since I can't use it for me, I can only let them die. Being loyal to the country is not loyal to me. What's the point of keeping them?
After a long journey, Yuan Wenshu and his party finally arrived in Leizhou, and Yang Xin had arrived at this time.
That's right, Yuan Wenshu is actually mainly here to control the overall situation in this battle. The real command is still Yang Xin. After all, he cannot do everything himself, and he still has to give his subordinates a chance.
After arriving at the Central Army's tent, Yang Xin said: "Marty, the Dali side has also started to mobilize troops."
"But there is a bad news, I want to discuss it with you."
"Oh? What happened? You can't even make up your mind?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Marty, Annan reacted. They have laid heavy troops on the Lang Son line, and we are now a little passive."
"Then Lang Yam is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now he has mobilized heavy troops to guard it. I'm afraid?" Yang Xin said
"Oh? Interesting, but it's normal. After all, Li Xun is not a fool, so how could he have no reaction at all?"
"This Lang Son is really a problem, but at present, we must take down Guangyuanzhou first and then consider the matter of Liangshan."
"From what you said, Guangyuanzhou has been abandoned by them. Since they don't want it, then we can't let them down, right?" Yuan Wenshu said.
"It's the marquis. I'll prepare now and conquer Guangyuanzhou." Yang Xindao
Yuan Wenshu nodded to Yang Xin and said nothing more. After Yang Xin bowed out of the Central Army tent and went down to make arrangements.
At this time, in Dali City, Annan's envoy had arrived in Dali and had met Emperor Kaiming.
At this time, Emperor Kaiming was discussing this matter with the prince in the imperial study room.
"Yu'er, what do you think about what the messenger Annan said?" said Emperor Kaiming.
"Father, my son, I think we should not agree to Annan's request, but should send troops quickly." The prince said
"Oh? Why is this? What Annan said makes sense? Instead of sending troops now, it is better to wait for them to decide the outcome and then act when they see the opportunity."
"In this way, no matter who wins or loses, we Dali will be invincible. What's wrong with it?" said Emperor Kaiming.
"Father, what Annan said is actually nothing wrong, but what they don't know is that the cooperation between our two sides is not something Annan can satisfy."
"In addition to Annan, there is also a vast world waiting for us to conquer. Compared with the future, a mere Annan is nothing." The prince said
"Hahaha, okay, right, Prince, remember, don't be fascinated by the little profits in front of you."
"Our appetite is far from satisfying Annan. Such a large area, whether it is our Dali or Yuan Wenshu."
"Not even have the strength to take it alone. Since I can't take it, I can only choose to cooperate. Yuan Wenshu is a good partner."
"The most important thing is that Yuan Wenshu cannot be without precautions. This time, if we don't help him, he will also take Annan."
"It's just taking some time and more casualties. The trust between the two sides is only once. Once we go back on our word this time, there will be no chance of cooperation."
"In the end, we will be both sides injured. With such a large territory, we can only watch it." Emperor Kaiming said
"My son has written down his father, so how do we want to reply to Annan's envoy?" said the prince.
"Crown Prince, tell me? How do we reply?" Emperor Kaiming said
"Father, I see, it's naturally a waste of time and stolen them, and then we suddenly send troops and catch them off guard." The prince said.
"Well, it's not bad, it's not bad. Since you already have an idea, then go and do it." Emperor Kaiming said
"Yes, my son is leaving." The prince said that, and then withdrew from the imperial study room, while Emperor Kaiming nodded with satisfaction.
Then the prince of Dali was responsible for dragging Annan's envoy, and Emperor Kaiming continued to dispatch troops and prepare for the attack on Annan.
Yuan Wenshu's side had already started fighting with Annan. Because Guangyuanzhou had been abandoned, Yuan Wenshu's side basically did not encounter any decent resistance and took Guangyuanzhou.
At this time, in Yuan Wenshu's central army tent, Yuan Wenshu was talking to Yang Xin about his next plan.
"Mr. Marquis, it seems that Annan really gave up Guangyuanzhou, otherwise it would not be possible, so that we can take it down so easily." Yang Xin said
"This is normal. There is no danger to defend Guangyuan Prefecture. If it were me, I would have given up." Yuan Wenshu said.
"Then Marquis, what should we do next?" Yang Xin asked
"Next step? Since he has arranged so many troops in Lang Son, we naturally cannot be tough. By the way, how much hot oil have we prepared this time?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Mr. Marquis, are you planning?" Yang Xin said
"I guessed it? That's right, there are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere in Langshan. If we don't know the terrain, we may be beaten everywhere."
"So, just burn it for him with a fire. I see what else they can do to guard it. There are not many other things in the southwest of me, but we can afford it." Yuan Wenshu said.
"But Marquis, once this fire is burned, it will probably not be easy to extinguish. If there is no rain, I'm afraid it will?" Yang Xin said
"Don't I just said clearly? Are I short of food and grass in the southwest? Do what Benhou said, be prepared in advance, don't burn yourself." Yuan Wenshu said
"It's the marquis, I'll do it now." Yang Xin said
After saying that, Yang Xin went out. He wanted to arrange for someone to transport the hot turbulent oil to Guangyuanzhou, and then be prepared to set fire to the mountains.
After Yang Xin went out, Yuan Wenshu thought to himself, "Burn, burn, after this fire is burned, I think who dares to go against me?"
Yang Xin prepared for five days, looked at the hot turkey oil in front of him, and with a command, he asked his soldiers to go deep into Lang San and poured all the hot turkey oil into the mountains.
As the fire ignited, the entire Guangyuanzhou became nervous, fearing that the fire would spread to him.
Yuan Wenshu looked at the fire ignited in the distance and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. In fact, he didn't want to get to this point.
It’s not that he cried the rat, but that he will be his own territory in the future. It’s so happy now, but it will be troublesome to manage it in the future.
But there is no way, who made this place easy to defend but difficult to attack? Since ancient times, if you want to take Jiaozhi, you must go down to Langshan. As long as you take this place, the entire Annan Chuan can be settled.
This just shows that the difficulty of conquering Lang Shan is not enough to be able to get here without a bloody battle.
In order to avoid excessive casualties from the soldiers, I had to take this worst plan to set fire to the mountains. After losing the barrier, I had to attack again, which would be much easier.
At this time, the Annan envoy in Dali also realized that something was wrong. The prince in front of him was obviously delaying time.
So he simply planned to return to China directly. When Duan Yu saw that he had been seen through, he was not embarrassed, but since he had already been known, he had already seen it.
Therefore, the envoys of Annan were imprisoned in the inn and could not go anywhere at all. They could only worry every day, but there was no way to do it.
Locking the fire, Li Xun in Shenglong City also received the news and was furious in the imperial study room.
"It's so unreasonable, it's so unreasonable. Wei State actually set fire to the mountains. How dare they, how dare they!" Li Xun cursed.
"Your Majesty, it's not the time to get angry. You must take care of the dragon body. Now the subjects are all counting on you." The minister said
Li Xun forced himself to calm down, not because he was so noble, but because he knew that being angry could not solve the problem.
The fire has started to burn now. Judging from the news sent back, the Wei State still lit the fire with strong tinder oil.
So there is no way to put out the fire, so I can only watch the fire grow little by little, so that it can't be cleaned up.
"By the way, is there any news coming back from Dali? I've been there for so long, so it's time for some news, right?" Li Xun said
"Reply to Your Majesty, except for the news of the initial safe arrival, there is nothing else, but the news has been heard." The Minister said
"Hmm? No? It's not right? It's been so long since I was a good deal. There should be a message coming back. How come there is no news at all?"
"No, I'll send a message to the border immediately and ask them to be careful of Dali's sneak attack." Li Xun said hurriedly
As soon as Li Xun finished speaking, an internal official broke into the imperial study room and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. Dali Kingdom has raided the border of our country and has now captured Ding'an City."
"What? How is this possible? What do they eat? Why did Dali Kou Bian? Why! Puff." Li Xun said excitedly, and finally squirted out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
This scared the ministers and the officials, and hurriedly passed them to the imperial doctor. In the end, the diagnosis was that they were furious and would wake up after two days of rest.
After the minister learned the news, he was first happy, but then he felt uncomfortable. There are many things happening in the country right now.
It was just when the emperor needed to make an idea, but at this moment, the emperor suddenly fainted and had no choice in the end.
The minister could only summon other colleagues to discuss and finally invite the prince out to supervise the country, at this time in the main hall.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is unconscious. What should I do? You still need your Highness to make an idea?" said the minister.
"Well, but this incident happened suddenly, there is no good idea here? Do you have any ideas? Let's hear it?" said the prince.
"Your Highness, the old minister has an idea to solve the current situation, that is," the minister said, "and he wanted to speak.
"Let me tell me, when is this time? There are so many considerations coming from there." The prince said
"Your Highness, Dali is coming in a fierce manner. There is only one way to solve it now, that is, to draw troops from Liangshan and go to Anding to resist Dali." The minister said
"Your Highness, no, you must not, Lang San cannot give up. Once you give up Lang San, then our country will have no danger to defend you." Another minister said
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry. The fire in Liangshan is now. Looking at the fire, it will not stop without a month."
"We can first draw away most of the troops and leave some to resist the Wei State. It will not be too late to return to Langshan after defeating Dali. Time is enough." The minister said
"Well, my dear is right, so let's do it and leave the court." The prince said
