Chapter 79: A Man Who Knows the Times, Anxi Junjie

The next day.

After besieging Yunzhou City for ten days, the 150,000 imperial tiger soldiers, who had lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, suddenly withdrew in an orderly manner without any warning.

It was said to be an orderly withdrawal, but in fact, the baggage and equipment were scattered all over the ground, and they almost dropped their armor and swords and guns.

They were afraid that they could not run fast with too much weight, and the Yunzhou defenders who reacted took the opportunity to slaughter them.

On the wall of Yunzhou City, Chang Yuchun, the deputy marshal of the Longcheng Army and the general of the Southern Expedition, who was wearing a set of Mingguang armor and a short knife tied around his waist, looked at the messy and deserted Tiger Army camp in the distance with a blank face.

For a moment, he seemed a little at a loss.

Soon, Chang Yuchun's doubts were solved.

In the field of vision, there was a tall golden figure, stepping on the frost to meet the thousands of rays of the morning sun.

Behind him were tens of thousands of cavalry troops.

A scarlet yellow dragon flag fluttered in the morning breeze, and the four-clawed yellow dragon was lifelike.

It was Jin Wang Chen Huaian, who arrived with the Dragon City Iron Pagoda and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

After seeing who the person outside the city was, Chang Yuchun immediately ordered: "Who, quickly pass the order down, lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome His Royal Highness Jin Wang into the city!"

After giving the order, Chang Yuchun also trotted down the tower and went to the city gate to welcome Jin Wang Chen Huaian.

After a while.

King Chen Huaian of Jin, wearing golden armor, rode into the city. Chang Yuchun personally stepped forward to hold the reins of Chen Huaian's yellow horse, and said with a hearty laugh:

"Your Highness, I was wondering when I went to patrol the city early this morning, why did the Tiger Guards withdraw in a hurry overnight, and they didn't even have time to take away the baggage and equipment."

"But when a golden figure appeared in my sight, I immediately realized that the bandits must have been frightened by your power, so they fled in a hurry at night."

Hahaha!

As he said this, Chang Yuchun laughed again.

Chen Huaian, who had been riding a horse all morning, also jumped off the horse at this time, looking at Chang Yuchun, who was smiling like a simple and honest big brother.

I thought to myself, when did this Ming Dynasty's first fierce general learn to flatter?

"Deputy Commander Chang, you don't know that His Highness's expedition to Tumubao not only led us to defeat the 200,000 Japanese soldiers of the imperial court, but also to raid the grain route of the Tiger Guards. He also--"

The speaker was the young General Huo Qubing.

He deliberately kept it a secret, and after arousing the curiosity of the generals stationed in Yunzhou, he slowly replied: "The dog emperor Zhao Gan was captured alive!"

Hiss!

When these words came out, all the generals guarding Yunzhou were shocked.

Chang Yuchun said anxiously: "Then, where is that dog emperor Zhao Gan? I want to take a look!"

"He's dead!"

Huo Qubing spread his hands and said: "Deputy General Chang, in fact, the dog emperor looks like that, and he is not some bullshit emperor, the real dragon emperor."

"He hit his head against the wall and bled."

"In the end, he hit it too hard and died!"

Hearing this news, Chang Yuchun looked regretful and said: "Oh, I missed it, I missed it!"

At this time, Chen Huaian finally spoke: "General Chang, let's talk about the situation of the imperial court's Tiger Guards while we walk!"

Chang Yuchun said: "Your Highness, the imperial court's Tiger Guards are just a group of"

Longcheng is located in the Anxi Frontier Army Camp in Beichuan.

In the central army tent, Anxi General and Zhenxi General Guo Dingfang looked sad and unhappy.

The Tibetan barbarians who invaded the Hexi and Longyou areas of the Anxi General's Mansion on the border of Daxin, and their vanguard troops were about to reach the General's Mansion in Chang'an City, and stole the homes of Guo Dingfang and the Anxi Border Army.

The last imperial edict issued by Emperor Zhao Gan was to order Guo Dingfang to lead the Anxi Border Army to attack Longcheng fiercely, and he also said that "the first battle is the decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in one battle."

This is not blind command, and I don't know what the Minister of War Shen Guangming does for a living, and he just lets the emperor mess around without stopping him.

If everyone is like Shen Guangming who can't do anything, then it's too easy to be the Minister of War, and you can even take a dog to this position.

My home is about to be stolen, and you still want me to decide the outcome in one battle, what kind of a world can I defeat.

In fact, Guo Dingfang never thought of confronting the Po Lu Army stationed in Longcheng head-on from the beginning.

He was one of the few generals in the Daxin court who knew the fighting power of the Po Lu Army, so he naturally did not want to start a war with such a veteran army.

If he had not been forced to disobey the emperor's order, Guo Dingfang would have turned around and led 100,000 Anxi border troops to fight back to Chang'an City.

Therefore, when the emperor ordered to attack Longcheng, Guo Dingfang responded with a tactic of delay.

The 100,000 Anxi border troops under his command had arrived in Longcheng and occupied Beichuan for more than ten days, but they had not fought with the Longcheng defenders at all, and not even an arrow was shot at the top of Longcheng.

On the contrary, after nightfall, envoys from the two armies often walked between the two armies.

Guo Dingfang and his generals ate and drank a lot of pigs, cattle, sheep and aged Nv'erhong wine sent by the Jin Wangfu.

Rather than saying that Guo Dingfang came to attack Longcheng, it would be better to say that he came to Longcheng for a picnic.

All of this is related to the best strategy of "defeating the enemy without fighting" by Dongfang Xiao, the old monk in black robes who is stationed in Longcheng.

Tonight, Guo Dingfang was drinking in the big tent as usual to relieve his sorrow. The sudden visit of an uninvited guest completely changed the life trajectory of this Anxi general and Zhenxi general.

"Report--"

"General, the special envoy of Longcheng wants to see you!"

Outside the big tent, the messenger's announcement sounded.

In the tent, Guo Dingfang drank a cup of wine without raising his head and said: "Invite!"

"General Guo, I have been away from the capital for more than three years. General, you are well and well!"

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the big tent.

Hearing this voice, Guo Dingfang, who was sitting at the desk and drinking to relieve his sorrow, felt as if he was struck by lightning. The hand holding the wine cup shook unconsciously, and the wine in the cup spilled all over the floor.

He looked up in disbelief, and it turned out to be that familiar face.

That's right, the person who came was none other than Chen Huaian.

At this moment, Guo Dingfang's heartbeat accelerated and his blood surged.

This is in the camp of his Anxi frontier army. With just one order, the rebel Chen Huaian can be captured alive.

By that time, it was a certainty that he would be granted the title of Marquis, Prime Minister, and his wife and son.

Chen Huaian spoke again, with a somewhat joking tone, and said: "General Guo, are you thinking about whether to take this king into custody and send him to Zhao Qian in exchange for a bright future as a prince and prime minister?"

"Your Highness, look at what you said, am I, Guo Dingfang, such a person?"

Guo Dingfang finally came back to his senses and greeted him with a smile: "No one in the Daxin Court knows the character of the late King Polu and His Highness. I, Guo Dingfang, have lived an upright and upright life. How can I be a junior like a snake and rat?"

"No matter what, as a minister, it is difficult to disobey the emperor's orders!"

While they were talking, the two of them were already standing face to face, no more than ten steps apart.

Chen Huaian smiled meaningfully and said, "General Guo, from today on, you won't have to worry about disobeying the emperor's orders!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered: "Come here, bring the things to General Guo for inspection!"

The next moment, Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, carried Emperor Zhao Qian's golden battle armor and Overlord's spear from the carriage that came with him, and presented them to Guo Dingfang, the General of Zhenxi in the big tent.

hiss!

Seeing this, Guo Dingfang took a breath and said in disbelief: "This, this is, is the emperor's golden armor and overlord's spear?"

Chen Huaian nodded with a smile and said: "General Guo, the foolish king Zhao Qian, has committed suicide in Wuzhou City out of fear of crime. The sky in Daxin Chaotang has cleared up!"

For a moment, the expression on Guo Dingfang's face could be described as the change of the four seasons.

The next moment, he knelt down on one knee, bowed to Chen Huaian, and said respectfully: "The last general Guo Dingfang is willing to lead an army of 300,000 Anxi troops, and swear to follow His Highness the King of Jin to Fengtian Jingnan and conquer the rebellion in the south!"

Hahaha!

Chen Huaian laughed heartily and said, "General Guo is truly a hero!"
