Chapter One Thirty-ninth Resurrection (Thanks to Jingwen One Thousand
Since Ruoao Yuejiao came to power, all the ministers and nobles in the city have been monitored by him. Ministers have been cut off at any time and the three tribes have been barred. It is precisely because of Yuejiao's thunderous method of "if you don't surrender, I'll kill you" that suppressed the will of resistance in Yingdu, and made his army and the pseudo court temporarily secure a stable guarantee in the shortest time. He alone held military and political power, ordered all officials, and no one in the country dared to object.
Under such autocratic and centralized hegemony, Ruo Ao Yuejiao personally led a 30,000 army, but was defeated by 3,000 Huangyu Guards and was defeated in the East Suburbs. In a hurry, the East Suburbs were burned. It was undoubtedly a major event worth celebrating for the court officials who secretly did not like Yuejiao.
In the Li Mansion, Wang Yin and Mr. Li closed the doors and windows, left and right, couldn't help but raise their chopsticks to celebrate, applauding, "It's so satisfying!"
"The 30,000 army was defeated by the 3,000 soldiers!"
"This is the most exciting news I have heard in so many days!"
Mr. Zhao took the information about the first-hand surprise attack on the Eastern Suburbs collected by Mr. Li from various channels, and his hands were trembling slightly, but he was excited and praised repeatedly, "It's really amazing!"
"No one has ever been able to escape undefeated to 30,000, ten times more powerful troops!
"When I cleared the battlefield, I left only five hundred corpses of the Phoenix Feather Guards, but all the corpses of the Wolf Army. Although it was just a counterattack, what kind of brilliant record was this!"
Mr. Zhao asked excitedly to Mr. Li and the others, "Mr. Li, have you come up with it? I still can't figure it out. Without everyone's knowledge, and no one can support it, how did she, a woman, escape from the surrounds of Yuejiao in the Chu Palace, escape to the eastern suburbs, and then rush out of Yuejiao's encirclement again!"
"Mr. Zhao, don't be excited!"
Mr. Li smiled and suppressed his excited voice, "Actually, this is nothing... When King Wu of Zhou attacked Zhou, he led the coalition of 800 princes to defeat the Shang army in the Battle of Muye, settled the Central Plains in the north, overthrew the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty. This was a battle to defeat the many with few."
"Father, there's nothing yet?"
"You must know that this time the prince-consort attacked the four-nation coalition forces of the Jin, Song and Chenwei coalition forces, and used 160,000 troops to fight against the 150,000 coalition forces, and brought all kinds of the best supplies in the middle of the country. It can be said that this battle is sufficient, and there are only more and more personnel. Sun Hou's Iron Guards have not moved yet. If they move, they will fight with more and less."
"My nephew, you don't understand!"
"The situation of the prince-consort in this battle is different from that of the Tainu Yuejiao, and it is also different from that of King Wu of Zhou in the attack of Zhou. In order to understand the siege of Zheng, our country faces the war between the four countries at the same time. It requires so many people. With few people, it is impossible to complete the tactic of dividing troops and defeating them in one by one!"
Zhao Hou was born in an army and knew the importance of the number of people in the war best. However, he could not think of how Mi Huang and the others broke out of the siege several times. "But the Tai Nu's personal soldiers, Huang Yu Guard, only 5,000 people, and 1,500 people disappeared during the palace transformation. He surrounded 3,500 and 30,000. How did he fight?"
Mr. Li also took a deep breath, looked at each piece of information repeatedly, and wanted to analyze how he escaped from this battle. He was also puzzled, "Yes, how can he cause the 30,000 troops brought by Ruoao Yuejiao to suffer heavy losses? Fire attack?"
"have no idea!"
All the ministers shook their heads.
No one could believe that even Ling Yin had escaped the disaster. How a woman broke through Yue Jiao's siege and blockade again and again, and even caused a great blow to the wolf army.
A court official said, "I heard that someone in the city is privately chanting the grand girl. He will be the descendant of King Wu and Wen of King, and another powerful king of my great Chu!"
"The Greatest King!"
"Ha, this is really awesome!"
Mr. Li's lips curled up when he heard this. Although he felt that everyone's statement was a bit exaggerated, it was also amazing to make Yuejiao suffer a big loss!
After a long time, he pressed his big hand on these information and said, "But although Yuejiao was defeated and did not catch the girl, the eastern suburbs burned and there was no excess food to save for the winter. This is a bad thing for us!"
"In addition, Yue Jiao has just regained his old Situ who is about to be exiled for thousands of miles, I am very worried!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Li looked at everyone with a serious expression, "As an old minister of the three dynasties, Old Situ has huge energy and abilities, and he also knows that there are many things in our Chu State and various materials."
"Yes, now his only son is deceased, he must be eager to take revenge!"
Wang Yin frowned and said, saying that he and other court officials had just been released from prison, saying that he and his other court officials wanted to win him over, but he refused them all.
“老司徒甚至对我们放出话来,说什么我大楚一味严刑峻法,他已无人送终,越椒是胜是败,干他何事?”
"He only wants the Taiwo and the entire Chu State to be buried with Situ Nan!"
Wang Yin thought of the harsh words made by Old Situ, and he felt that something was wrong.
"This is indeed a bad thing!"
When Zhao Hou heard this, he said with a frown. Looking at this information again, he was not as confident as he was at the beginning.
Mr. Li analyzed to everyone after hearing this, "In a sense, after Ruoao Yuejiao was defeated, he immediately recovered from the prison. This is really a great move."
"Now, he has the old Situ arranged all for him; outside, there are Ruoao Zike, Liu Yi, and Lu Yi, who are in equal measure with the princess and the princess and the mentors."
"It's just that Old Situ is eager to take revenge, which may cause grievances among the people; if Ao Zike is cunning, he is afraid he will not be easily controlled."
"According to the first idea of the prince-consort, the Fenghuang Mountain City was built as a supporting capital, and it was a supportive force with Yingdu. However, a great chaos in Yuejiao forced the two troops of Ruoao who originally supported Yingdu back to Fenghuang Mountain, and the momentum of the pinning of the corner was broken."
"Now Yuejiao has implemented a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the countryside to the outside world. He must have wanted to stick to Ying and wait for the return of the princess, and fight to the death. However, as the capital of Yingdu, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, is probably enough for Yuejiao to support it for half a year."
Even though Mr. Li and the others had guessed that Yue Jiao would definitely make big moves when he regained his old Situ, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly!
He let the old Situ go, and then convened a court meeting.
Discuss the preparations for the deployment of this war.
In the court, most of them are new faces promoted from the army. They are absolutely obedient to Yuejiao; while some familiar faces all lower their heads, and no one refutes what Ren Yuejiao said.
Among all, an old man with white hair and white mourning clothes stood first, with red eyes, staring at the ninth-level jade stairs, with crazy expressions, listening to the man sitting high above in martial arts uniforms.
"From now on, Situ will collect 50,000 corvee labor from the city, dig deep into the moat, increase the reinforcement of the city walls, set up traps, horses and spurs, repair weapons, prepare sufficient food and grass, be responsible for all logistics and combat preparations, consolidate the Yingdu royal city, and be sure to achieve solid preparations. Yingdu enters wartime state and is ready for a great war at any time!"
"Mr. Ling Yin, needless to say, I have been Situ of three dynasties and have been responsible for the logistics preparations for countless wars. I know what to do!"
"I only have one requirement. All government affairs powers inside and outside Yingdu, as long as the government affairs, everyone must obey my orders, including the Lingyin!"
Lao Sijie, who had not taken off his mourning clothes and had a white hair tied with a white towel, swore a desperate attempt to fight Mingzhi, said with a sudden stern voice, raising his hand to interrupt Yue Jiao's order and said that the previous surprise attack in the eastern suburbs was just a foolish little fight in the eyes of Old Situ.
Yue Jiao did not refuse, and even asked for a military order, so she agreed, "Okay! This imperial decree gives you great power in government affairs!"
"Come, draw an order!"
When the civil servants on both sides frowned and looked at each other, they wrote the order according to their words, and reported the imperial edict to the emperor.
"As long as the Tai Nu has not gone north for a day and is lingering near Yingdu, within a month, Lord Ling Yin will wait for the Tai Nu to wait for the death of the Pan rebel party of Cheng's clan!"
After the words came, the old ministers saw the old Situ, who was swaying in clothes, and without waiting for Yue Jiao to announce his return to court, they took the lead and ended the court discussion.
For a moment, the Chu State finally entered a wartime state.
When Wang Yin and Zhao Hou heard the news, they looked frightened. The war happened even faster than they expected. Some old ministers in the court even looked at the sky of Da Chu at the first time when they heard the news. It seemed that the war was densely covered with clouds, holding their dizzy foreheads and crying, "There hasn't been a civil war in my Great Chu for three hundred years. King Wu and Ruoao have established a covenant. Now it's really a day to be divided into two!"
"Last king, great king!"
"Did you see it in heaven?"
At this time, all the eighth kings of Great Chu had closed their eyes and could not see the most bitter cold wind blowing across the entire Great Chu. One step to let the south move from late autumn to winter, and involved everyone in the Great Chu in the center of the blizzard of this political struggle.
Old Li's eyes were slightly deeper, and he stood on the Zhugong platform and looked outside the war-torn Yingdu. He tightened his hair tightly on his body and said with his hands behind his back, "The sky of my great Chu is finally about to change!"
"When will they... return?"
In Yingdu City, the people knew it well that as the Tai Nu tore a gap from Ruoao Yuejiao's 30,000 wolf army, fled, wars would inevitably become more frequent in Chu, and news of the vassal state turmoil below finally came one after another.
This war between the Chu Shi and Ruoao clan, which had been clearly and secretly for three hundred years.
Because King Wu of Chu did not swallow the entire Ruo Ao family in one fell swoop, and even had to compromise and share with him the eighth generation of Chu State, and the Taiwo could not destroy this huge family through this battle. It either made Ruo Ao Yuejiao too incompetent or the three hundred years of accumulation in the Chu State was just a joke.
The eastern suburbs were burned and shrouded in war. On the one hand, the grain of Yingdu was frantically entrusted by the old Situ, while the grain of all grain merchants was requisitioned for free.
No one knows how long this battle will last.
Both the people and the nobles in the city were extremely panicked. Old Situ even suggested that Yuejiao would not issue any excess food or even salary to court officials except for military industry. Until the end of the war, Yuejiao agreed happily.
So apart from the army, the food in the city became less and less, and the lives of the nobles of major families began to become more difficult, even to reduce the number of slaves living.
The waves of the river are blowing and snow.
It was dark outside Yingdu City.
Ask everyone when you go back!
The heavy snow is just around the corner
