Chapter 232 Mutation! Viper!(1/2)
No one present could have imagined that this noble man would appear in this place.
According to normal circumstances, shouldn’t he be in Zhongjing City?
Yelu Anxiang couldn't help but ask: "Fifth Prince, why are you here?"
As he asked this, the generals over there woke up and quickly stood up and saluted, "I have seen His Highness the Fifth Prince!"
That's right, this is the fifth prince of Wei mentioned when Eunuch Huang came to the camp to announce the imperial edict.
"No gifts!"
The fifth prince waved his hand with a smile, "Generals, Yelu Lijun has always been looking forward to fighting side by side with you, and now he finally has a chance!"
Yelu Feiyang's heart immediately sank, "Lao Wu, what do you mean?"
"What's the meaning?"
Yelu Lijun laughed and turned to the outside and said, "Eunuch Zheng, come in!"
Following his words, another eunuch came in outside.
Yelu Feiyang's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Because he saw that the eunuch was holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand!!
The eunuch looked around and everyone stood up again.
Then he nodded with satisfaction, "Under the imperial edict, the third prince Yelu Feiyang and a group of generals received the edict."
"I welcome the imperial edict!"
"Emperor Wei, a unique family in the sky and under the ground, said: The third prince Yelu Feiyang led an army of hundreds of thousands to besiege the Dakang Liaoxi Corridor. However, four months passed, but there was no guaranteed achievement. Instead, the soldiers and generals were lost and the losses were heavy.
Not to mention this, Yelu Feiyang's control over the rear was extremely weak, which led to the destruction of many logistics stations, resulting in the destruction of precious food and weapons, and caused great waste. This is really not true!
Therefore, I ordered the fifth prince Yelu Lijun to replace the third prince Yelu Feiyang to monopolize the power of this battle strategy. I hope all the soldiers can work together to make great contributions to our family’s great cause! I admire this!"
Eunuch Zheng read the imperial edict in his sharp voice, and the whole tent suddenly became calm and elegant.
"This...how is this possible?"
Yelu Anxiang suddenly shouted, "Changing generals at the last stage is a taboo in war! How can the emperor change the head coach at such a critical moment? This..."
"Little Prince is careful!"
Eunuch Zheng frowned and interrupted him, "Are you questioning the emperor? Do you think the emperor is not smart and wise enough?"
"I don't, I..."
Yelu Anxiang wanted to defend himself, but Yelu Feiyang raised his hand to stop him.
"The emperor's son Yelu Feiyang received the order!"
Yelu Feiyang first respectfully took the imperial edict and carefully placed it in the lacquer box before saying to the eunuch: "Eunuch Zheng, there is no arrangement for me in the imperial edict, I don't know..."
As he spoke, he saw Yelu Lijun walking slowly up and sitting in his previous position.
Zesatsu frowned, and was about to say something, Zupuguz next to him suddenly pulled him and stopped his dissatisfaction.
Not only them, even Yelu Feiyang's best friend like Han Mu, dare not scold Yelu Lijun.
Because the imperial edict had been announced just now, Yelu Lijun was the commander of this battle, so this position itself belongs to him.
However, from the perspective of morality and reason, Yelu Lijun was a little unkind and was slapped Yelu Feiyang in the face.
But Yelu Feiyang had nothing to say.
They are the contenders of the throne. Although they are a lot ahead of them, the fifth brother has not lost the intention to pursue them.
If you want to win the final victory, Yelu Lijun will certainly not be ruthless to Yelu Feiyang.
The eunuch seemed to have not seen the embarrassing scene in the tent, and smiled and said to Yelu Feiyang: "Your Majesty said, Third Prince, please go back with the old slave this time! You have been out for half a year, and the emperor misses you very much!"
"good."
Yelu Feiyang nodded, "I don't know when Eunuch Zheng will leave? I want to arrange it here..."
"No need to arrange it." The eunuch shook his head, "What your Majesty said is, let's set off immediately and go back overnight!"
"ah?!"
Even though Yelu Feiyang was very deep in the city, he couldn't help but change his sarcasm.
This is simply completely suppressing me!
I didn’t have any time to arrange it, so I gave it all to Lao Wu?
Not to mention anything else, if he sent my confidant troops in the siege, he would be exhausted in a few days, who should I cry?
Just as he was thinking this way, Yelu Lijun smiled and said, "San brother, please feel free to go on the road! I know what to do, and I will definitely cherish this opportunity!"
Grass!
Yelu Anxiang was immediately angry.
What is "a peaceful road"?
Isn't this cursing the third prince?
But before he could speak, Yelu Feiyang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask you. This battle is related to the national destiny of our Wei family. There must be no mistakes!"
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility." Yelu Lijung said first.
"Okay, I'll set off now." Yelu Feiyang said, "My own staff, An Xiang, and the guards, can you always take them away, right?"
"Of course! That's true! Take your Golden Tiger Army back, too. The father should miss them very much!"
Yelu Lijun said without hesitation.
The generals present looked at each other when they heard this.
Yelu Feiyang turned and looked at them, "Everyone, although it was a bit hasty to change the generals in the last battle, you are all elites of my Shiwei! Whether I am commanding or Lao Wu, it is all for Shiwei... Please give me more attention, I am waiting for everyone's good news in Zhongjing City!"
"Here!"
A group of generals bowed their hands and replied solemnly.
They also felt reluctant and nervous.
The third prince is the most amazing person. It is definitely not his responsibility to fight this battle like this.
Even the Grand Marshal Wu Li Zhen said that if he was the commander, he would not be able to conquer the current situation.
But the dignitaries and nobles in the capital were not satisfied and wanted to replace them with another prince.
What will happen next is really hard to guess!
Yelu Lijun snorted disdainfully, but he did not get angry when he looked at the group of generals.
After all, he knew that if he wanted to make a lot of contributions, the only one who could rely on was the best generals in Shiwei!
...
Yelu Lijun did not come alone, he also brought 20,000 Golden Tiger Army.
The Golden Tiger Army is Shi Wei's Yulin Guard, with a total of 100,000 people. On weekdays, they only obey the orders of Emperor Shi Wei.
Yelu Feiyang brought 20,000 yuan to him before, but he never used it because it could only be used at the most critical moment.
This time Yelu Lijun also brought 20,000 yuan, which was obviously a guarantee for the emperor to give his fifth son.
In the next two days, Yelu Lijun did not show anything special.
He did not even urge the generals to launch a siege on Jinzhou City, but instead called the generals of the vassal tribes, encouraged them for a while, and sent a lot of military supplies and food.
This is very important!
When fighting, you rely on food and weapons, otherwise you will hit the enemy with your head?
Previously, due to the burning, killing and looting of Liu Mingjing and others, Shi Wei's logistics suffered extremely heavy losses and almost ran out of food. The remaining food had to be taken for Erqian. This guy faced Li Nanyuan and was attacked in field battles, so of course it was impossible to have less food.
Therefore, the army had to temporarily stop attacking Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City.
At this time, Shi Wei's elite can naturally eat enough in front of him every day. The army of those vassal tribes is in trouble. They eat at most two meals a day, and basically only eat half full. This is still the case when they are not moving. They don't eat too much on weekdays, but aren't they fighting now? Of course, they have to eat enough to kill the enemy, otherwise who would be willing to make a desperate effort?
Now it's different!
Yelu Lijun brought not only 20,000 Golden Tiger Army, but also millions of stones of food and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep.
He actually divided the food into the army of the vassal tribes, and of course the generals were very grateful.
For this reason, many generals from Wei also complained about it.
Yelu Lijun ignored them, but instead summoned the generals of the vassal tribe every day, and even held a bonfire party at night, eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls. Isn't it happy?
The Grand Marshal Wu Lizhen, who had just returned from the front line and was about to obey Yelu Lijun's instructions, couldn't help it anymore, so he rushed into Yelu Lijun's tent that morning with a group of generals.
Wuli Zhen was the pillar of Shi Wei's military, and the Jinhu Army had brought them all, so they came all the way. After confirming that there was no danger, the Jinhu Army made way.
Even Yelu Lijun's personal guard did not stop them.
Wu Lizhen was just feeling strange, but when he went in, he found that Yelu Lijun, who was originally sleeping, was sitting on a chair, carefully wiping his blade with deer skin.
"Your Highness?"
