Chapter 61: Posthumous Title, Daxinbao Clan
Prince Jin's Mansion, Council Hall.
The generals of the Longcheng Jingnan Army gathered together to discuss the plan to resist the enemy.
As the secret envoy sent by Wuning King Liu Xinwu arrived at the Prince Jin's Mansion and sent the court's battle plan for the Northern Expedition to Chen Huaian, the soldiers of the Longcheng Jingnan Army, who had rested for almost two months, were about to go out again.
It was not until then that Chen Huaian understood the intention of the black-robed old monk Dongfang Xiao to propose a marriage to Zhuge Yunsheng, the housekeeper of Wuning Palace - this was to make Wuning King Liu Xinwu willingly bet on the Prince Jin's Mansion and on Chen Huaian!
It turned out that Wuning King Liu Xinwu, one of the eight kings of different surnames in the Daxin Dynasty, had an influence not only limited to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
He also had many eyes and ears in the Daxin court.
For example, although Chen Huaian's insider in the capital could get the news that Emperor Zhao Gan was personally leading the army, he could not find out the detailed information of Zhao Gan's personal expedition in a short time.
Such as the number of troops, the types of troops, who led the troops, when to set off, which marching routes to pass, and other details.
But Liu Xinwu was different.
Just now, the intelligence handed over to Chen Huaian by the secret envoy of Wuning Palace detailed the deployment of troops, the commander, the marching time, the marching route, etc. of Emperor Zhao Gan's personal expedition.
With this information, Chen Huaian can see all of Zhao Gan's cards clearly.
Even if Zhao Gan led 500,000 troops to attack, Chen Huaian and his Longcheng Jingnan Army, with inferior troops, can still be targeted and respond with ease.
As long as Zhao Gan's 500,000 troops can't take care of each other, this battle can be won.
"His Highness Prince Jin has arrived!"
At this time, outside the meeting hall of the palace, the deep and powerful voice of Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, came.
The next moment, the originally noisy meeting hall suddenly became silent.
All the generals stood up and looked out the door.
Only then, Chen Huaian, the Prince of Jin, wearing a red python robe, came in with a dragon-like step.
Behind him was Dongfang Xiao, an old monk in a black robe.
"His Highness!"
All the generals greeted Chen Huaian in unison.
Seeing this, Chen Huaian smiled and nodded to everyone, then sat down on the main seat of the meeting hall of the palace, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone, take a seat!"
At the command, all the generals sat down.
Chen Huaian said: "Everyone, today we have called everyone here to discuss the next battle plan of the Longcheng Jingnan Army."
"I believe you should have heard that after the current emperor Zhao Gan learned that we raised troops in Longcheng to quell the rebellion, clear the court and eliminate the treacherous, he decided to lead the army to personally lead the army to the north to quell the rebellion in Longcheng."
At this point, Chen Huaian smiled and continued:
"It's ridiculous to think about it. We fought bloody battles in Mobei, swept through the Turkic royal court, and cleared out the powerful enemies that had endangered our Han border for a hundred years. Not only did we fail to wait for the court to reward us with titles and prime ministers, but we were left with the reputation of traitors, villains, and rebels."
"I feel very disappointed for all the generals!"
"The tyrant is in power, and the treacherous are ruining the country!"
Chen Huaian's words immediately resonated with the emotions of the former Longcheng Polu Army.
The commander of the front army, Fan Wuji, was the first to stand up and express his opinion, saying: "Your Highness is right. The court today is no longer the court of the previous emperor's period, where the monarch was wise, the ministers were loyal and the generals were good!"
"The second emperor, Zhao Gan, was stupid and violent, and he loved to show off his achievements. In the court, there was also the treacherous minister Qin Ruhui who controlled the government and appointed people based on personal connections. The entire Daxin court had long been messed up by this group of people!"
"In my opinion, the Daxin court should have been..."
"General Fan is right!"
Suddenly, a thunderous voice sounded in the meeting hall, forcibly suppressing Fan Wuji's words.
The person who spoke was the brave general Pang Xianchu.
He stood up calmly and continued, "Your Highness, I think it is not important what the court and the emperor think of our Longcheng Jingnan Army!"
"What is important is that we must know what the ultimate goal of this Jingnan and the Southern Expedition is."
Speaking of this, Pang Xianchu paused for a moment, and then said word by word:
"Since getting rid of a treacherous minister Wu Qingyun cannot make the emperor repent, then continue to fight until all the treacherous ministers in the court are eliminated!"
Haha!
After listening to Pang Xianchu's speech, Chen Huaian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
How could he not understand Pang Xianchu's intention? He was afraid that Fan Wuji would be careless and say the tiger-wolf words of overthrowing Daxin and establishing a new country in the meeting hall in front of all the generals!
In fact, Chen Huaian knew it very well.
If the generals of the Longcheng Po Lu Army followed him to start an uprising in Longcheng in order to protect themselves;
But later, as the Longcheng Jingnan Army won victory after victory and even destroyed the Turkic Kingdom in one fell swoop, the minds of these generals of the Longcheng Po Lu Army naturally became active.
Let me ask, which general does not have the ambition to be a loyal minister?
At the beginning, Chen Huaian wrote "Fengtian Jingnan, Taoni Manifesto" just to stop the world from talking, find a reason to start an uprising, and by the way, let the soldiers of the Longcheng Po Lu Army find peace of mind.
But later, as the Longcheng Jingnan Army won victory after victory, the number of troops in the Longcheng Jingnan Army increased, and these former soldiers of the Po Lu Army inevitably became arrogant, which is also human nature and understandable.
However, it is not recommended yet.
At the moment, it is not yet time to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
What Chen Huaian wants to do is to compete with the emperors of Qin and Han, and not to settle down in a corner and not care about Liu Adou.
What he wants is by no means a simple yellow robe, but for all nations to come to court and celebrate together.
Therefore, what Pang Xianchu said was exactly what Chen Huaian wanted.
"What General Pang said is absolutely true!"
Chen Huaian immediately affirmed Pang Xianchu's view and continued: "If the traitors are not eliminated, the country will never have peace. If the traitors are not eliminated, I will never withdraw my troops!"
Then, Chen Huaian changed the topic and said with a serious face: "Everyone, back to the topic, I have received a secret report and have mastered the detailed marching and fighting plan of Zhao Qian's personal expedition!"
"Come here, bring up the atlas (map)!"
Soon, Xiao Po, the commander of Jinwu Guards, came to the palace with a huge military map. Together with another Jinwu Guards, he spread out the military map for Chen Huaian and the generals to review.
Chen Huaian stood up, turned sideways to face the map, and said to the generals in the meeting hall: "Everyone, Zhao Qian mobilized a total of 500,000 troops from all over the country for this personal expedition."
As he spoke, his fingers began to draw on the military map, while pointing and interpreting in detail:
"The Ministry of War mobilized 200,000 Japanese soldiers from the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong and went up the river. They joined forces with Zhao Qian and the Royal Forest Army led by him at Jinling City in the capital. They passed through Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, along Yingzhou, and passed Mozhou and Zhuozhou arrive in Youzhou!”
"Li Jingyu, the flying general stationed in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, will first lead the 200,000 Tiger Army from Youzhou, passing through Shunzhou, Guizhou, Xinzhou, and all the way to Yingzhou to conduct a personal expedition for Zhao Qian to explore the military situation along the way."
"Subsequently, 400,000 troops joined forces in Yingzhou and marched directly to Yunzhou!"
Having said this, Chen Huaian's finger that was gesturing on the military map changed its direction and landed on Chang'an Mansion, and continued:
"The other enemy force is commanded by Guo Dingfang, the Great General of Zhenxi of the Daxin Dynasty, and consists of 100,000 Anxi frontier troops from the four towns of Anxi."
"The enemy troops this way started from Chang'an Mansion and headed straight towards Dragon City!"
"The above is the troop deployment and marching route of Zhao Qian's personal expedition. In this regard, I have also made preliminary countermeasures——"
Chen Huaian's tone suddenly became sharp and he said: "In view of the enemy's strategic deployment of dividing their forces into three routes to attack our Dragon City, I have decided to concentrate our superior forces and defeat the enemy one by one!"
"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. I will personally lead the elite tiger and leopard cavalry troops to detour to Mobei and pass through Wuzhou. Here, I will give Zhao Qian and the 200,000 Japanese soldiers a fatal blow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huaian's finger fell on the military map, a place called "Tumu Fort" in Wuzhou.
Chen Huaian's mind also recalled a familiar name at the same time, an overseas student from Wala who was known as the God of War of the Ming Dynasty.
Today, when Chen Huai'an got the emperor Zhao Qian's troop deployment and march route map from the emissary sent by Wuning Palace, he almost couldn't believe that Zhao Qian would choose to fight with the Ming Dynasty God of War in the Northern Expedition. , exactly the same marching route.
Even the troops commanded by the two are the same.
It makes people sigh, this history is really amazingly similar!
Facing the big gift from Zhao Qian, how could Chen Huaian not accept it?
After this battle, Chen Huaian even considered the posthumous title for Zhao Qian. He called him Baozong, Daxinbaozong!
"Tumu Fort?"
At this time, the voice of Longcheng Deputy Marshal of the Army and General Chang Yuchun suddenly came from the meeting hall. He stared at the three words "Tumu Fort" on the map in a daze and said:
"Your Highness, are you planning to ambush Zhao Qian, who is on the expedition in person, near Tumubao?"
Um?
Hearing this, Chen Huaian frowned slightly and asked, "General Chang, is there anything wrong with this king's move?"
