Chapter 486: Secret South
Yun Zhao naturally did not want to inspect these places, but in front of Han Jiang, some words could not be said explicitly. From Jianguan to Lu Ningyangping, the Northern Army was heavily guarded by the Northern Army, and they were all old soldiers in the Northern Army. Compared with the current Mongolian army opposite them, the Northern Army was much stronger. The entire front was easy to attack and defend. In the past, the Mongolian army was the main attacker, and the Anqing border army struggled to defend, but now, it has turned over. The Northern Army attacked everywhere and lit the beacon fire everywhere, but the Mongolian army lost one's eyes and was exhausted.
This is also a microcosm of the current situation in the north. As Yun Zhao said, if Cheng Qun had not imprisoned him at the end, the Northern Expedition Army would have been able to seize greater benefits in the north, at least to seize a few pieces of the Mongolians' current occupied areas, thereby further compressing the controllable range of the Mongolian army.
But now, in addition to rescheduling troops, Yun Zhao can only use some tricks outside the plate to disintegrate and divide the internal division of the Mongol Yuan. Fortunately, some things have already laid the groundwork, and now they are easy to act.
From this cooperation with Cheng Qun, Yun Zhao's understanding of Cheng Qun has changed drastically, from the initial admiration to self-satisfaction, to the anger and even anger in the middle, and to the vigilance and fear now. Cheng Qun will inevitably become his enemy. This is the judgment issued by Yun Zhao after careful consideration, and it is obvious that Cheng Qun is more difficult to deal with than Meng Yuan.
Cheng Qun was able to tie the Baotao Guards, Jinwu Guards, Qianniu Guards, and the leading guards in a very short time. Only his life was his own way, which shows that this person not only had outstanding talents, but also had extraordinary skills. Under the city of Jingzhou, playing with famous Mongol Yuan generals like Lin Ya, while applauding, forty thousand soldiers were destroyed. Military qualities, judgments, decisiveness, and fingers of the army were the best choices. It was rich and fertile to the south of Cangjiang. Yizhou was known as the Tianfu in the northern country, but compared to Jingzhou, it was actually much worse than that in the economy. After plundering the wealth of Qin Yiliang Pu and migrating the wealth of these four states, Jingzhou's strength leaped to a new level.
If all these are just Cheng Qun's mistakes and stumbling to Yun Zhao, Cheng Qun's military actions during this period made Yun Zhao be more vigilant. Two hundred thousand guards crossed the river and attacked Jiangzhou. After forcing Su Can, who was gathering in Tongzhou City, to mobilize the troops to turn around to deal with this, he mobilized Jiang Guangyu's Leopard Guard to turn westward and force Xiangzhou.
After occupying Shanzhou, Hongniang's troops led their troops to the southwest. In a very short period of time, they defeated the Yue army in Ganzhou and occupied Ganzhou in one fell swoop. In the plan of Yun Zhao and Hongniang, Hongniang would continue to go southwest and occupy Xiangzhou. After taking Xiangzhou, they were separated from Luzhou. While Hongniang was preparing to march into Xiangzhou, Cheng Qun sent Jiang Guangyu to attack Xiangzhou, and must have smelled something.
Cheng Qun would not know what the White Lotus Saint Association, active in the western part of the empire, had to do with the Heisha of the Desert on the northern border of the Rising Empire, but he must have judged the intention of the Hongniangzi to march into Xiangzhou. When Dayue needed Cheng Qun to defeat Congliang Sucan Group as soon as possible, he drew a main guard to pounce on Xiangzhou. It only means that Cheng Qun did not want a force he could not control around Jingzhou. He had already regarded the surrounding area of Jingzhou as his sphere of influence.
If Hongniang and Jiang Guangyu met in Xiangzhou, with Jiang Guangyu's Leopard Guard's strength and combat experience, Hongniang was afraid that he would not get anything good. If he was not careful, he might suffer a loss. Xiangzhou, in Yun Zhao's plan, is a springboard for crossing Cangjiang in the future. Yunniang would not naively think that he had sent Ma You and Cao Xinyu to secretly practice a navy in Boyang, and he would have the ability to have the right to go against Jing Fang's navy within time.
Then, keep a strong force in Xiangzhou, but Yun Zhao's only choice. Now he cannot withdraw troops and can only rely on Hongniang's army. He must not allow Hongniang to make any mistakes in Xiangzhou in public or private. So this time, his public itinerary was to inspect the front line, but after showing his side to Jianguan, he would immediately turn to Luzhou and head to Boyang.
He wants to meet Hong Niangzi. Hong Anbang and Zhang Lihua, who have just passed Cangjiang, will be responsible for contacting Hong Niangzi and arranging their itineraries. At present, Yun Zhao is still a general of the court and cannot openly meet Hong Niangzi, the rebellious White Lotus Saint.
After staying in Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp for a few days, most of Yun Zhao's guards began to advance towards Lu Ningyangping, but he himself had secretly brought dozens of personal guards including Jiang Xu, Wu Fan and others into Luzhou.
Just when Yun Zhao secretly entered Luzhou, Guo Changxing also arrived at Yanjing, the capital of the Mongolian Yuan. As the special envoy of the General Administration of the North, Guo Changxing was still grandly received by the Mongolian Yuan. Although he was an enemy country, the two armies fought and did not kill the envoys. The Mongolian Yuan had already established a country, and he maintained an abide by these conventions. In the city of Yanjing, from Emperor Wuda to Aqisi, Lin Ya, Han Zhong and others were all quite generous. What's more, the Mongolian Yuan did not have the intention to have a few more broken battles with the General Administration of the North. Yun Zhao could afford to lose, but they couldn't afford to lose!
They needed time to integrate their power and reunite people's hearts. At this time, Yun Zhao sent a special envoy to discuss a peace ceasefire, which was exactly what they wanted. However, Guo Changxing came unfortunately, the day when he entered Yanjing City, Aslan returned.
The Zarchi Yuanti tribe army suffered heavy losses this time. The 20,000 remaining troops who broke through were chased by Liu Huajian. They lacked supplies along the way and paid a huge price to escape and lost thousands of cavalry. Most of these thousands of people were not killed in battle, but fell down because the war horses could no longer hold on. The soldiers who lost the war horses became the prey of Liu Huajian's cavalry. Aslan, who insisted on the responsibility of the rear, was seriously injured in the final battle with Liu Huajian and was carried back to Yanjing.
Jamukha was accompanied by Aslan back to Yanjing. One thousand cavalrymen who escorted them back from Gongzhou were miserable and miserable, describing their embarrassment. There was also the heroic figure before the expedition. In this way, the situation of the remaining more than 10,000 cavalrymen repaired in Gongzhou can be imagined, and it will only be even worse.
Aslan of Zarchiwuti was seriously injured, and Daerke, who was Turhu, was even more injured. In this battle, the Mongol Yuan lost a lot. Looking at Wuda who was seriously injured, his throat was smelly and sweet, and his eyes were even darker. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to support him so that he would not let himself fall. If he fell down in front of everyone, I am afraid that the city of Yanjing would be even more in chaos.
"Your Majesty!" Jamuha cried and fell to the dust.
