Chapter 710: Ye Kai, Guizhou
Ye Kai, commander of the Great Yue Weiwei, eight years ago, he led the Weiwei into Guizhou, and sent troops to Shaanxi to suppress the White Lotus bandits. He thought it was an extremely easy thing, and he could completely defeat these chaotic people in a year or two, so he returned to Shangjing. However, his ideal was full, but the reality was extremely skinny. After entering Shanzhou, he was hit by the White Lotus Army led by the Hongniangzi, and was caught off guard. He suffered a great loss in the first battle and was forced to retreat to Guizhou. This failure
It took him a long time to recover. Just as he was about to regroup and attack again, the world's form had changed drastically. The three states of Jiangnan raised the rebellion flag. Ye Kai, who was in Guizhou, suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation. More energy was involved in Jiangnan. For the Bailian rebels in Shanzhou, he could only take a defensive moment. Of course, this was also the meaning from Shangjing. Bailian was just a scabies, and the Fourth Master rebels in Jiangnan were the confidants. This was a unified understanding of the senior leaders of Shangjing.
Ye Kai, who was trapped in two battles, was once in trouble. Under the integration of Hongniangzi, Bailian was no longer a bandit of the past, but had already become an army. In addition, they had a broad public opinion base in Shanzhou, Ye Kai always felt that he could not use it. Although the rebels in Jiangnan were the town army, the Fourth Master had been planning for a long time, and whether it was equipment or training, they were the best choice. The elite level of the army was not inferior to the guards. More importantly, Jiangnan had money, and the army they had piled up with money was really difficult to fight. If their generals were still a little alive at first.
Shi, there are many problems in command, and there are problems with mutual coordination, but Ye Kai could not seize the opportunity, because part of his energy was still involved by the White Lotus Army. After such a battle lasted for a year or two, the generals in Jiangnan made rapid progress. Especially after Li Qing took office, this former emperor uncle had all the best skills and abilities, and Ye Kai was becoming increasingly embarrassed. If it weren't for the change in the White Lotus Army later, the White Lotus Saint Hong Madam broke with King Buddha, and the Red Madam led his army to the west, and the Wang Xiang accepted the court's envoy and was granted the mighty Hou, Ye Kai would have felt even more uncomfortable.
Since he left Beijing, it has been eight years since he left Beijing. Ye Kai, who was over 40 years old, is now fifty years old, and his black hair is now mottled.
Ye Kai built a semi-solar defense line with Guizhou as the core. After the expansion, the Weiwei now has 30,000 people, but the core combat power is only 20,000 of the original Weiwei. These 20,000 people focus on guarding against Jiangnan. After Wang Xiangto City, Ye Kai immediately transferred Wang Xiang to the border between Guizhou and Binzhou, separating it from Shaanxi to avoid recurrence.
Ye Kai has always struggled with the war with Jiangnan. In the early days, he had also entered the Binzhou territory, but the Jiangnan area was not as good as Shanzhou, with ditches and rivers everywhere. He was extremely uncomfortable with the Weiwei who came to Beijing. After losing, Ye Kai had to retreat. After Wang Xiang entered this place, his form was also not optimistic and he could only defend. He could not launch an attack at all. As for the high hopes that Li Jian once placed, he had to take Li Xiao's nest, so he didn't have to think about it. As long as he could maintain Guizhou, Ye Kai would be grateful.
Since the beginning of last year, the situation has taken a sharp turn. Xue Chengyi's defeat directly led to the destruction of the last powerful armed force of Dayue. It seemed that everything was in a favorable development of Li Xiao, and the powerful guards were panic. Li Jian's departure from the capital made Ye Kai even more like a thunderbolt. This was his own broken backbone! Ye Kai lamented, where did the wise eldest prince go back then?
As expected, as Ye Kai expected, as soon as Li Jian left Beijing, he stepped into a trap that was irreversible. Now he could only run towards him, hoping to meet with him.
The only good news now is that the Governor's Office of the North Army sent nearly 100,000 troops to support the king through Ganzhou and into Shaanxi, and traveled day and night to Guizhou. The Governor's Office of the North Army subdued the White Lotus Sect and incorporated the White Lotus Army. Ye Kai was so sad that he also breathed a sigh of relief, which allowed him to draw the Weiwei arranged on the Shaanxi-Guizhou border into the Binzhou line to resist Li Qing's increasingly fierce attack.
In the Guizhou Prefecture, Ye Kai, who was in the two highest positions in Guizhou civil and military, stared at the civil and military officials in the hall, and could not hide his murderous aura. Li Jian was defeated and almost finished the mountains and rivers, and the internal areas of Guizhou began to become unstable. Undercurrents surged, and the arguments of surrender were heard from time to time. Ye Kai understood that he could not surrender. He had an unclear relationship with Li Jian. In addition to being Li Jian's confidant, more importantly, his wife and Li Jian's empress were the family and had no cousin's relationship with him. With this label, he could not be tolerated by Li Xiao.
"Everyone, Your Majesty is out to Beijing and traveling to the world. Now the troops are approaching Guizhou, and you are mighty!" Ye Kai turned his eyes to the Wang Xiang who was sitting on his left, "Your defense zone is closest to Your Majesty. You need to make all preparations to welcome Your Majesty into Guizhou. If necessary, send your elite troops to respond."
Wang Xiang, wearing a waiting suit, kept his face unchanged and bowed steadily, "Don't worry, General, I have made complete preparations."
"Very good!" Ye Kai nodded, "Everyone, although the current situation is difficult, don't think that we are at the end of our lives. The 100,000 troops of the Governor's Office in the North have entered Shanzhou and will arrive in Guizhou soon to join our army. After the reunion, we will launch a fierce attack on Jiangnan under the personal command of His Majesty, seize the three states of Jiangnan in one fell swoop, completely destroy Li Xiao's old nest. As long as we do this, the rebels will become water without a source and tree without a root."
"General Ye, the Northern Army is fighting fiercely with the Mongolian army in Jiangbei, and the rebel general Cheng Qun has crossed the river and entered the northern land. Can the Northern Army really send a hundred thousand troops here?" a civil servant asked carefully.
Ye Kai glanced at him with a gloomy look, "What a great momentum is the 100,000 army passing through Ganzhou and entering Shanzhou? Can you still talk nonsense? I can tell you that not only the Fifth Battalion of the Zhengbei Army's main battle battalion, but also the most powerful cavalry battalion of the Zhengbei Army. This is a cavalry that has been fighting with the Meng people for many years and has never failed. As many as 20,000 cavalry have entered the Central Plains battlefield. Can you think about what the effect will be?"
Like a heart-boosting agent, Ye Kai's words made the generals excited, "General, is it Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry battalion? That's really a bit of awesome!"
"But is the cavalry battalion really a big deal in Jiangnan? The river is crisscrossing here, and the cavalry cannot be expanded at all!" Someone retorted.
Ye Kai snorted coldly, "Governor Yun has been circulating in the north for nearly ten years, and has developed from the Anqing border army with thousands of people to the North Expedition Army with hundreds of thousands of people. He has never been defeated. If he is not sure, how can he come to help? Everyone, as long as we survive the most difficult moment at present, we will usher in a brilliant victory. At that time, your Majesty will reward you on your merits and your glory will be indispensable."
Everyone in the hall nodded frequently. Obviously, the 100,000 troops of the Northern Army came to support them, which gave them great confidence.
"However, over the past period of time, undercurrents have been surging in Guizhou, and the rebellious discussion has never been cut off. Many people secretly contacted and ran around, intending to surrender to the rebels and exchange their lives for his glory and wealth, which I cannot tolerate!" Ye Kai leaned back heavily, and murderous aura appeared on his face.
As soon as this sentence came out, almost all the generals present showed murderous aura on their faces, and some of them even jumped up and shouted: "General, we are brave enough to fight the enemy on the front line, and there are still people in the back who intend to sell their brothers. If you keep them for what kind of people, it is better to destroy them as soon as possible!"
Ye Kai laughed, "Well said, brothers are fighting to death in front of you, but there are always some people in the back who think about everything and shake the morale of the army. Naturally, I cannot tolerate people coming!" He clapped his palms, and a team of fully armed guards immediately rushed into the lobby outside the lobby.
"Take it!" Ye Kai said coldly.
The guards were obviously prepared. As soon as Ye Kai spoke, these people rushed up immediately. Obviously, they had a goal. They pressed the dozen people in the hall to the ground and tied up all kinds of flowers. The most surprising thing was that among the people who fell to the ground, one of the fiercest generals who had just shouted.
The man looked snow-white and tried hard to raise his head, "General, I am loyal, I am loyal to Your Majesty!"
Ye Kai stood up and walked to him, "Tan Jun, as the deputy general of my Weiwei Guard, I have always valued you, but do you really think that you are secretly colluding with Li Qing? Do you really think that Li Qing's people hidden in your camp really do it perfectly?"
"General!" Tan Jun raised his head, "I am also thinking about Weiwei. I just want to leave a way out for Weiwei. I have never betrayed Weiwei!"
"Enough!" Ye Kai shouted, "As a warrior, it is already a cowardly act to leave a way out for himself in everything. As the deputy general of the Weiwei Guard, you cannot tolerate such actions at this time of danger. For the sake of you and me for many years, I will not let you go out and be humiliated!" With a choking sound, Ye Kai pulled out the sword from his waist. The light of the knife flashed, and Tan Jun's head fell to the ground with a thud. After rolling a few times, he stopped, and his eyes opened wide.
Seeing the blood splattering in the lobby, the silence of death in the hall was dead. Ye Kai smiled coldly and waved his hand, "Drag these people out, chopped their heads, hung them on the flagpole to show their obedience, raided their homes, and all the gains were given as military expenses. All the men in these families were killed, and the women were sent to the churchyard."
"Abide by the order!" The guards responded with a loud bang, dragging more than a dozen of these people who had fallen into mud and strode out of the hall.
The rest of the people in the hall looked at each other in front of each other.
With his eyes swept over everyone, Ye Kai changed into a smile, "Everyone, you are all loyal people, I know, Your Majesty also knows. Work together to overcome difficulties, and good days are coming. Do you think you are a mighty man?" Ye Kai looked at Wang Xiang.
"The General is right, right!" Wang Xiang's face was extremely unnatural and he nodded repeatedly.
"Everyone prepares their own things. He Xiwang, as the logistics officer of our army, you must try your best to raise the army during this period. Once the Northern Expedition Army arrives here, it will definitely require a lot of supplies. It is impossible for them to come here with food and grass."
"I understand that it is just the general, Guizhou is already in great difficulty to bear the troops of Weiwei and Wang Houye. Now there are more than 100,000 troops. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
"There is no way. At this time, the people can only take more burdens. After winning in the future, we will compensate them!"
