Chapter 162
In the next three days, the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City surged, and the army everywhere rushed to Youzhou with grain and grass.
And Wang Mang was not idle in these three days, what he said to Cai Wenji was true, and in these three days, he played with all the gifts sent by the Twelve Legions.
At the same time, he also handed over domestic political affairs to Xiao He, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others.
Xun Yu and Xun You were also taken down by Wu Yunzhao with Cheng Yu, and finally surrendered.
Xun Yu served as the commander of the door, and Xun Yu was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Coupled with Guo Jia, who is already a Zhongshu Ling, there are these people in the country, and Wang Mang does not have to worry about political affairs.
Three days later, banners were hunting, spears and spears were lined up, and teams of white cavalry lined up neatly outside the city.
Wang Mang was wearing a golden battle armor, holding the Son of Heaven Spear, surrounded by the emperor's qi and colorful qi, and rode out slowly from the city gate.
The powerful momentum shocked the White Horse Legion soldiers outside the city and cheered up.
Wang Mang rode his horse and stopped in front of everyone, and said like a god: "Soldiers, the Great Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty sent millions of troops, vowing to take down my Dahua in one fell swoop
, do you agree?" "Don't agree!" "They want to take away my Dahua rivers and mountains, trample on our people, and bully your wives and daughters, do you agree?"
"Don't agree
!" "
To deal with the invaders, I only have one word - kill!" Wang Mang's voice revealed a determined color.
As soon as the word "kill" came out, a colossal killing intent came out of the body, as if a killing god had descended.
Whether it was Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, Gongsun Zhan or other White Horse Legion soldiers at the scene, they were all shocked by the killing intent on Wang Mang's body, and couldn't help waving the weapons in their hands and shouting
: "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill
!" "
Kill!"
Wang Mang nodded with satisfaction and waved the spear in his hand: "Let's go!"
Immediately, the White Horse Army, which had reached 80,000 troops, went straight to Youzhou.
Youbeiping County is located in the middle of Youzhou, the north of this place is an endless grassland, and the south is a hilly area.
The soldiers and horses led by Yue Fei came in from the grasslands in the north, and wanted to take Youzhou with the other four soldiers and horses, and then wave the army south.
It took Wang Mang nearly half a month to ride a horse from Chang'an City to Youbeiping County.
During this time, Yue Fei's soldiers and horses had crossed the grassland and came to the outside of Junmi City in Youbeiping County.
The soldiers and horses of both sides met unexpectedly outside this small city.
Youzhou originally belonged to Gongsun Zhan's territory, and Gongsun Chan was also the general of the White Horse Legion at the moment, and he also followed Wang Mang in this battle.
As a local head snake, Gongsun Zhan introduced the situation to Wang Mang as soon as he arrived here.
"Your Majesty, Youbeiping County has never been rich, the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are only three decent cities, Junmi City is just between the two cities of Wuzhong and Xu Wu.
According to previous information, Yue Fei divided his troops and horses into three parts and attacked these three cities at the same time.
Gongsun Zhan's words made Wang Mang raise his eyebrows and sneered: "Yue Fei's appetite is really not small!
Han Xin, what do you think Yue Fei's purpose is, and how should our army deal with it?"
There is a top commander here, Wang Mang is too lazy to use his brain, and directly asks Han Xin's opinion.
Han Xin, who was named, had a solemn face: "Your Majesty, Yue Fei's purpose is to take these three cities at the same time, and then take control of Youbeiping County!
This place is vast and sparsely populated, suitable for large-scale hoarding of soldiers and horses." If the general's guess is correct, Yue Fei is worried that he will not be able to take down my Dahua in a short time, so he will take Youbeiping County as their rear stronghold.
This explanation made Wang Mang nod again and again, quite agreeing.
Yue Fei is not a fool, nor is he a rash person, although he has only established a country in Dahua, but he also has 800,000 soldiers and horses under his command, with the opponent's 1 million soldiers and horses, how can he take them down in one fell swoop.
This is a protracted war! What is most needed for a protracted war?
Of course, the supply of grain and grass in the rear and a stable command place are provided.
This right Beiping County is the rear base selected by
Yue Fei!"It's worthy of Yue Fei, it's really old-fashioned!" Wang
Mang sighed, and then asked Han Xin: "Then according to General Han's meaning, how
should our army deal with it?" Han Xin's face was straight: "Your Majesty, our army should also be divided into three roads, and hold the three cities at the same time."
In the end, General Ma Chao went, and Xu Wu was defended by two generals, Pang De and Gongsun Zhan. "
Han Xin's meaning couldn't be clearer, this is not to give Yue Fei a chance, the three cities must all be defended.
Wang Mang nodded in agreement, and turned his head to look at Jiang Ziya, who had not spoken on the side: "Jiang Shangjunshi, what do you think of this matter?"
Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, touched the white beard on his chin and said: "Since General Han's plan is seamless, but our army is the defender, this battle should give full play to its local advantages."
Wei Chen suggested that the three generals Ma Chao, Pang De and Gongsun Zhan mobilize the people in the two cities of Wuzhong and Xu Wu, and arrange the things needed to defend the city as soon as possible, in case of emergency!"
Han Xin assigned the task strategically, while Jiang Ziya was detailed to the specific way of defending the city.
"What the military advisor said is extremely true, the three generals have heard it, right?" Wang Mang turned his head to look at Ma Chao and the others.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the last general and others will act according to the orders of the military advisor and General Han!" the three of them bowed their hands at the same time.
After that, the three of them went to the city where they needed to defend it.
And just after the three generals left, the Song army outside the city also seemed to notice that there was a large group of soldiers and horses in Junmi City, and their commander Yue Fei personally led a team of people to the city to check the city defense.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the enemy army has come to inspect the city defense of our army!" Immediately a soldier came to report.
"Oh, Yue Fei is here, let's go, go and have a look!" Wang Mang's eyes lit up, and he immediately took Zhao Yun, Jiang Ziya and others out of the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, it immediately attracted the attention of Yue Fei and others outside the city, and they all turned their heads to look.
I saw a hundred-man cavalry rushing out of the city, and the leader was not Wang Mang, who else.
Both sides stopped a stone's throw away and looked at each other.
Wang Mang saw the man in the middle of the Song army, wearing a dark armor and a battle helmet, his face was full of determination, and his eyes revealed a wise gaze.
"Presumably the person in front of you is Yue Fei!" Wang Mang asked with a big grin.
Yue Fei noticed the momentum on Wang Mang's body, and also saw the battle armor on Wang Mang's body, and immediately changed his face:
"You... Are you the Dahua Emperor
Wang Mang?" After all, Wang Mang's rewards are all public, and Yue Fei is not a fool, how can he not recognize Wang Mang's identity when he sees this dressed person.
It's just that he never expected that Wang Mang would actually take the imperial conquest himself!
In this way, the morale of the Dahua soldiers would definitely rise greatly, which was not a good thing for their Great Song and Qing Dynasty allied forces.
"It seems that Marshal Yue also knows my name, even so, how dare you raise troops to invade the realm?"
Wang Mang's eyes were cold, and he burst out with a sentence full of murderous intent.
Yue Fei's face was a little ashamed when he heard this, for a person like him, it was incumbent on him to defend his family and country, but he was still reluctant to attack other countries.
However, since the leader of the army is here, he has no reason to retreat!
"Wang Mang, you should know that it is the duty
of a soldier to obey orders!" Yue Fei said with a straight face: "Yue Fei, as a courtier, has to obey the orders of my Great Song Emperor.
"What's more, opening up the territory and expanding the territory is also a meritorious cause that the soldiers yearn for!" He
gave two reasons for invading the Dahua Dynasty from the perspective of being a soldier.
But after hearing this, Wang Mang laughed wildly: "Hahahaha~ I didn't expect Marshal Yue's eloquence to be so powerful."
As
for what you said about expanding the territory, it would be even more ridiculous, how could you base your happiness on the suffering of my Dahua people?"
Wang Mang's reasonable words made Yue Fei speechless, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Perhaps because he knew that he was at a loss, or maybe he was worried that if he continued to talk about it, he would affect the morale of the army, Yue Fei was silent for a moment and then suddenly looked up at Wang Mang:
"No matter what, you and I must have a result in this battle!" "
I respect you as Emperor Dahua, I will give you a day of rest today, and tomorrow I and your two armies will not die!"
After speaking, Yue Fei withdrew to the camp with his soldiers and horses.
