Chapter 428: Temporary control of the northwest(1/2)
As time passed slowly, Yuan Wenshu finally arrived in Lingzhou, and Gan Chongyue came out to greet him in person.
"Uncle, you're ruining me now. How can you bother you to come here in person?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Okay, you guy, are so polite to me. If you are so polite, then I will deal with you?" Gan Chongyue said
"Haha, I know uncle, let's not stand here, can we?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Haha, look at me, I'm so old. Let's go and go, I know you're coming, and the mansion will be cleaned up for you long ago." Gan Chongyue said
Then he chatted all the way to the mansion. Yuan Wenshu first settled his wife and son, and then went to the governing mansion with Gan Chongyue.
Yuan Wenshu saw many familiar faces, including Qin Zhao, Qian Jun, and Quan Xiong, who had never seen him but was very similar to Quan Xu.
"Okay, let's talk less. Let's talk about the situation first. This time, Wang Mian suddenly sent troops, which really caught us off guard. Now Manjushri, you are here, tell me about your situation." Gan Chongyue said
"Okay, let me tell you, everyone, I came here this time with 100,000 troops from the southwest, but the army has not arrived yet." Yuan Wenshu said.
"Okay, okay, with the support of your 100,000 troops, we have nothing to worry about. After all, if you don't say anything else, your ability to train troops is still excellent." Gan Chongyue said
"Uncle, you are a bit too much. What is going on with Wang Mian right now? Although I know about it in the capital, it is not so detailed after all." Yuan Wenshu said
"This time, Wang Mian was actually forced to come to us. The royal forces in Xixia are now headed by Li Jizong."
"This time it was their trick that made the little emperor of Xixia have to transfer Wang Mian here." Gan Chongyue said
"Oh? It's true that there is still this one here? If I don't come, I really don't know." Yuan Wenshu said
"Now our Great Wei fights on two fronts, so we have to think of some things in front of us. After all, it's useless to just look at what the north is like." Gan Chongyue said
"Uncle, the officials in the north have sent Gu Tingye. I think it's not a big problem. Gu Tingye still has the ability." Yuan Wenshu said
"Okay, Manjushri, you just came here, so go back and rest early. This battle is not something that can be completed in a short while."
"There is no need to be too anxious. Wang Mian is powerful, we are not bad either. Don't be so anxious. We'll all be separated." Gan Chongyue said.
Then the generals dispersed. After everyone left, Gan Chongyue was a little tired and couldn't hold on to it.
That's right, Gan Chongyue's old injury relapsed, but he kept hiding it because of the war.
Because he knew that he was the backbone of the Northwest, he could never fall, so he kept insisting.
But he knew that he couldn't hold on for long, but fortunately, Yuan Wenshu came, otherwise something big would happen.
At this time, Yuan Wenshu had just returned to the mansion, explained to his wife, and then went to the study to work hard.
After all, he had just arrived in the northwest and was now in a dark state, so he asked someone to go to Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao came soon.
"Old Qin, we haven't seen each other for some years. How are we doing these years?" Yuan Wenshu said
"I have been having a good life these years, but when compared with you, you can't compare." Qin Zhao said
"Haha, Lao Qin, you'll be kidding. OK, let's talk about some serious matters. What's the situation in the northwest?" Yuan Wenshu asked.
"To be honest, the situation was still very serious before you came, but after you had your reinforcements, everything became different." Qin Zhao said
"So, is it still time for me to come? Haha." Yuan Wenshu said
"That's right, fortunately you brought reinforcements here, otherwise we would have been really bad this time. Wang Mian's soldiers are worthy of being a bloody battle just now, and they are indeed powerful." Qin Zhao said
Then the two talked about some other things, and Qin Zhao went back. After all, this kind of thing was too urgent. The reinforcements have not arrived yet, so it is useless to be anxious.
Half a month passed, and the situation became worse and worse. As the battle deepened, the northwest has now begun to defend comprehensively.
At this critical moment, reinforcements from the southwest arrived. This time, Yang Xin led the troops to the northwest.
When Gan Chongyue heard that reinforcements had arrived, he hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss. At this time, the central army tent was very lively.
Everyone was in a good mood because the reinforcements came, which meant that there was no problem here and the crisis had been resolved.
With the arrival of reinforcements, such a big noise could not be hidden from Wang Mian, and at this time Wang Mian's central army tent.
"What did you say? They came to reinforcements? Do you know where they came from? How many people came?" Wang Mian said
"Mr., this time these reinforcements came from the southwest. Yang Xin led the troops. He brought a total of 100,000 troops this time." The deputy general said.
"Well? So many, it seems that the visitors are not good this time? I didn't expect that the lucky boy back then has grown into a prince now."
"This time the troops, probably all brought by Yuan Wenshu? Let's notify you, Mingjin will withdraw the troops and call everyone back." Wang Mian said
The deputy general took the order out, and at this time Wang Mian said to himself, "Yuan Wenshu, Yuan Wenshu, you have ruined my big deal this time!"
As the Xixia side cried out the Jin army to withdraw its troops, the northwest side also received news that Gan Chongyue was in the central army's tent at this time.
"It seems that Wang Mian already knows the news of the reinforcements in the southwest. Let's see how he will take action next." Gan Chongyue said
"Uncle, Wang Mian probably won't do anything anymore, because he knows that if he continues, it will become a war of attrition."
"The soldiers in his hands are his capital, and the capital in the hands of the little emperor. If we fight all the money with us, not only him, but even the little emperor in Xixia will not be able to sit firmly." Yuan Wenshu said
"Well, what you said makes sense. Wang Mian played with us before, because he felt that he had a chance of winning. Now he has no chance of winning, so there will naturally change."
"But we can't take it lightly. After all, he hasn't made any moves yet, so we can't be careless." Gan Chongyue said
At this time, Wang Mian had already held a meeting. The final result was that the army stopped attacking and continued to confront Wei, and then sent the news back to the country to let His Majesty decide.
So the northwest battlefield has returned to peace, but just when Yuan Wenshu and the others thought it was okay.
Gan Chongyue fell ill and was very ill.
For a moment, the entire northwest was panicked. At this critical moment, Yuan Wenshu stood up unswervingly.
At this time, in the Northwest Central Army tent, Yuan Wenshu sat in the position of the commander and looked at the people standing. At this time, their faces looked different.
Yuan Wenshu knew very well that these people must be very dissatisfied with him, but so what? Only he is suitable to take charge of the seal.
"Everyone, I know that some of you are very dissatisfied with me and think that I am not qualified to sit in this position."
"But what I want to tell you today is that no one in the whole northwest is more qualified than me!"
"So I don't care about your thoughts, because those are not important to me, because what we need to do now is to prevent Wang Mian from attacking him."
"The news that the man is seriously ill can't be kept for long, so Wang Mian must give it a try and try whether we can stabilize the situation."
"So I don't need to say much about the importance of this battle. You should know it in your mind. After all, this northwest belongs to all of us."
"I, Dawei, have not lost for three dynasties. Are you going to make an exception now? Tell me, do you want to lose?" Yuan Wenshu said.
After hearing this, although the generals still didn't say anything, Yuan Wenshu could feel that there was a change in their hearts.
"There is another thing that I didn't say. Do you know why I brought my wife and children this time? It's because I am already prepared."
"You are different from this marquis. Your ancestors have been in the northwest for generations. If you lose this time, do you think about the consequences?"
"There is only four of my family here. What about you? How many people are there in your family?"
"So I don't want to say some words, but you must know that after the death of this kind, only if we all unite and unite can we pass through the disaster in front of us." Yuan Wenshu said
After saying that, Yuan Wenshu ordered the dispersion and did not give them time to speak, because he knew that he needed to give them time to consider now.
The next day soon came, and the whole northwest started to move, because the panic caused by Duke Li Guo's serious illness disappeared.
All the major families in the northwest began to take action and took out all the food stored in their families.
On the third day, Wang Mian finally received news that Gan Chongyue was seriously ill, so he made a quick decision and issued an order to attack.
But unfortunately, Yuan Wenshu has stabilized the situation again, so Wang Mian's sneak attack could only return without success.
At this time, Wang Mian was looking at the sand table in front of him in the central army tent of the Xixia camp, and the generals around him did not speak.
"I really underestimated Yuan Wenshu. I didn't expect that he would have suppressed those arrogant soldiers and generals so quickly." Wang Mian said
"Mr., although we did not succeed this time, once this news came out, it would inevitably have an impact on Wei State."
"Although the last general doesn't know what Yuan Wenshu used, he thinks there are only a few moves, so Yuan Wenshu's control over the northwest will definitely not be able to catch up with Gan Chongyue." The deputy general said.
"That's right, you're right, so we can't give Yuan Wenshu time, we still have to continue to fight, but the scale is controlled." Wang Mian said
"It's my grandfather, let's do it now." The deputy general said
"Yuan Wenshu, Yuan Wenshu, I see how you will make a move this time." Wang Mian said
At this time, Yuan Wenshu was also thinking about Wang Mian's next move, after all, although he had stabilized the situation.
But there is still a big gap between me and Duke Li, so I have to think about some of these things carefully.
Now it seems that it is impossible to force it. I can only think of something else. After all, it turned out that when Gan Chongyue was commanding.
They were defeated by Wang Mian, let alone himself. They could think of this, let alone Wang Mian, and he would definitely think of it.
So if nothing unexpected happens, he will still attack tomorrow, and will continue to attack Mi to make himself exhausted.
After thinking about it, Yuan Wenshu finally wrote a letter and sent it to a place in the city, and then ignored it.
The development of things was not as expected by Yuan Wenshu, and Wang Mian was indeed a small-scale siege on an uninterrupted manner.
But no one dares to be careless. After all, no one knows when the scale of siege will become a formal siege.
This is the cleverness of Wang Mian's plan. Among the generals in the northwest, there were naturally people who came to persuade Yuan Wenshu.
But Yuan Wenshu blocked them back and maintained the status quo. For a time, there were many different opinions on the northwest.
Just one month passed, but this month made the generals in the northwest very angry. The Marquis of Dingxiang was as stable as an old dog.
He did not stick to the extreme. How could Ren Ping and Wang Mian provoke? Yuan Wenshu just sticks to the city and doesn't go to fight at all.
