Chapter 944 Yecheng is going to be unlucky this time
Zhao Xing's military order made the Northwest Army besieged Chang'an quite a bit, and even the entire combat strategy was temporarily adjusted. The reason was to protect Chang'an City and to set the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an in the future. However, Zhu Jun's old nest Yecheng, far north of the Yellow River, would not have such a good life. This strong city, which was carefully built by Yuan Shao for more than ten years and was later further strengthened by the Southern Army, was about to welcome the roar of the artillery of the Shenwu General.
The East Road Army led by Zhao Yun is mainly composed of the Flying Tiger Army south of the Yellow River, the Donglai Army north of the Yellow River, and the Xiongwu Army north of the Yellow River, and the Heishan Army. To put it bluntly, it combines the Jizhou Army and the Qingzhou Army together.
At present, the situation in Jizhou has become a mess. First, the Heishan Army was preparing to cross the Yellow River to cut off the retreat of Xiahou Dun's army, but on the way, they encountered 30,000 troops sent by Zhu Jun on the way, and are now in a tug-of-war in Qinghe Country. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zhenbang, the Liaodong Army hidden in the Heishan area, and rushed south together with the Xiongwu Army, and attacked Yecheng, which had only 30,000 troops defended. As a result, the young and energetic "Xiao Zhao" finally suffered on the front battlefield.
When the order for the appointment of generals of the Five Route Army of the Wohu Command reached Jizhou, Zhao Zhenbang should have led 30,000 Liaodong Army to Jin State to accept the command of the Northern Army Marshal Xu Huang, but the young master who suffered a loss in Yecheng insisted on guarding outside Yecheng with red eyes and refused to leave.
Yecheng is only hundreds of miles away from Wohu City. Although it is separated by a Huguan and Taihang Mountains, the news that his eldest son suffered a loss in the battlefield in Jizhou was reported to Zhao Xing by the Joint Command of the Eastern Route Army.
When Zhao Xing learned that his eldest son had finally encountered a hard nail, he actually smiled happily. He said to Ma Su and others around him: "This nail is well touched. If Zhenbang always had smooth sailing on the battlefield, I would worry about his future. This time, the Liaodong Army encountered tenacious resistance under Yecheng, and I want to see how he could solve the problem!"
Not long after Zhao Xing finished speaking, Zhao Zhenbang had quietly returned to Crouching Tiger City and found Zhao Bu directly. Then the lion spoke up and asked himself that this good brother asked for forty Shenwu General's cannons!
When the Fire Dragon King saw the sneaky Zhao Zhenbang, he knew that nothing good was going to happen, but it meant that Zhao Zhenbang could only ask for a general cannon of ten or eight. He didn't expect that "Brother Abang" would look at it like this. He had forty gates at one time, which was a strategic armament of 20 million taels of silver!
Zhao Bu rolled his eyes and said to Zhao Zhenbang: "You were hurt by Zhu Jun in Yecheng, so you came up with such a strong and weak idea? Don't say that I don't have forty general cannons here, even if there are, I wouldn't dare to give them to you. If your adoptive father knew that you were so unmotivated, he would think of relying on powerful firepower to fight, and it wouldn't weaken his trust and respect for you?"
As Zhao Xing's only adopted son, Zhao Bu never had the idea of inheriting Zhao Xing's family business, but he considered Zhao Zhenbang's future a lot. What he said was true, which shows that he also attached great importance to his brother.
Zhao Zhenbang sighed and said, "Brother, I understand all the truths you said. But you saw the part and did not stand at a high place to see the whole situation. The Liaodong Army was originally fighting in Jizhou, so why did it be assigned to the second uncle's Northern Army? It was just because the defensive power of Jin State seems not enough now, and my father was worried that Lu Zhi might launch an unexpected counterattack in Luoyang!"
"I encountered little obstacles in Yecheng, and it is the most urgent task to quickly implement the Eastern Army's troops to cross the river. The reason why I ask you for the general's artillery is to help the Eastern Army quickly take down Yecheng before leading the army to the west of Huguan, so as to completely reverse the situation where the Eastern Army was in a tumultuous situation with the Cao army in Qingzhou and Jizhou!"
After Zhao Zhenbang's explanation, Zhao Bu immediately looked at the brother with a high look. As the leader of the army, even if he was able to focus on the entire Jizhou, he was very knowledgeable and had a sense of the overall situation. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenbang could analyze so many things from appointment document.
After some bargaining, Zhao Bu allocated twenty Shenwu General Cannons of the Eastern Route Army, which gave them enough face. After Zhao Zhenbang received Zhao Bu's promise, he did not dare to stay in Wohu City, and then quickly returned to the front line of Jizhou. If many "women" in Wohu City knew that this guy who had abducted his children and wandered outside for several years had returned to Wohu City, he would probably wash his face with his spit.
As soon as Zhao Zhenbang left, Zhao Bu hurried to report the matter to Zhao Xing. He did not dare to secretly allocate strategic weapons worth 10 million taels of silver to the Eastern Army without his adoptive father's consent. However, when Zhao Bu reported this matter to Zhao Xing, he originally reposted the reason why Zhao Zhenbang applied for the general artillery from the Wohu Equipment Academy.
After listening to Zhao Bu's report, Zhao Xing and Li Jinsi looked at each other and seemed to have known about Zhao Zhenbang sneaking back to Chouhu City.
Speaking of which, although King Pingxi was willing to put his eldest son on the front line of combat training, it did not mean that he was not concerned about his son's safety. Maybe Zhao Zhenbang himself didn't know that in the past few years, no matter where he went, there were always a group of shadow guards with great martial arts who were silently protecting his safety. Zhao Zhenbang secretly left the military camp and returned to Wohu City for such a major matter, how could the shadow guards who were responsible for protecting him dare not report the information?
When Zhao Zhenbang was still rushing to Wohu City, Li Jinsi received secret operations information about the "Young Master". Li Jinsi was not worried that Zhao Zhenbang would cause any storm to return to Wohu City. He just felt that when the war was in the middle of the utmost, he came back secretly and something must have happened, so he told Zhao Xing as a fun news.
After Zhao Bu finished reporting, Li Jinsi said: "Zhenbang has become more and more promising after years of experience outside. We tried our best to find some clues about Lu Zhi from Luoyang, but he actually guessed this with a general appointment document. Brother Xing, you don't have to worry about him anymore in the future!"
Zhao Xing suppressed the joy in his heart and said calmly: "You must not let the boy hear this, otherwise his tail would not be raised to the sky! Since the Battle of Yecheng is so important, there will be no need for such a purely military stronghold on the Jizhou Plain in the future. Then, let's allocate the Shenwu General's cannon to the Eastern Army as much as possible!"
With Zhao Xing's words implemented, the impregnable Yecheng is about to usher in a mixed attack of twenty general artillery artillery and hundreds of powerful artillery artillery. I don't know that Zhu Jun knew that the crazy decision to bombard Yecheng was actually a boy under 18 years old. What would he think?
