Chapter 291 The Prince's First Battle(1/2)
Of course, Yao Pingzhong is not an idiot!
He was born into a family of generals in the western border and repeatedly confronted Western Xia. He was even more important as the governor of Qin Feng Army. How could he be an idiot?
However, after arriving in Kaifeng, Yao Pingzhong lost his normal heart.
Zhao Huan's extraordinary summons were even more gentle and encouraging, which made Yao Pingzhong look down upon himself. He wanted to make some achievements on the Kaifeng stage, but when Zhao Huan strongly advocated peace talks, only by sneaking into Mou Tuogang can he show his talent.
Yao Pingzhong wanted to fight a beautiful battle to accumulate capital for the future entry into the Privy Council.
He knew very well that Zhong Shidao was already 75 years old and could not be in charge of the Privy Council for a long time; Zhang Shuye was honest and was admired by Zhao Huan, but he was not valued. As for Li Jian, he was just a scholar who achieved his current position by relying on his achievements as a dragon.
Who can get the Privy Council in the future?
Only Yao Pingzhong was left...
But the problem is that Yao Pingzhong's qualifications are still a little shallow and there are not many merits that can be achieved. It is precisely for this reason that when he learned that Zhao Huan had agreed to the camp stealing plan, he immediately started to make arrangements. Seeing that a great achievement was about to be completed, a Yu Yin suddenly ran out and coaxed the prince to come forward to stop the action.
What is Yu Yin?
Yao Pingzhong hasn't even heard of this person's name, so how could he be convinced?
Not to mention, Zhao Chen's performance also made Yao Pingzhong feel dissatisfied. What is your dignified prince who actually obeys an unknown man? At the same time, he felt even more threatening, because if Zhao Chen ascends the throne in the future, Yao Pingzhong will inevitably lose his future. Therefore, he needs to take this opportunity to severely attack the treacherous ministers around the prince.
In this military affairs, you are definitely not an unknown soldier who can intervene.
For this reason, Yao Pingzhong did not hesitate to enter the palace late at night and issued a military order to Zhao Huan.
Yu Yin didn't know that it was precisely because of the respect revealed in Zhao Chen's words that a famous general lost his calmness.
"What are the plans for that guy?"
A trace of entanglement appeared on Zhao Chen's face, and after a while, he asked: "Does Xiao Yi and Yao Pingzhong definitely fail?"
“Ten**.”
"Xiao Yi, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Please give me instructions."
"Help me and save Yao Pingzhong."
Zhao Chen whispered: "I know that Yao Pingzhong is also a capable person. If he really dies in Moutuogang, it would be a great regret. Besides, you, Zhulu Mansion, need to have enough merits to establish reputation. If you can save Yao Pingzhong this time, you may not regard me as a child, and I can also share my worries for your father. How are you okay?"
Looking at Zhao Chen's look of anticipation, Yu Yin nodded and agreed.
But he also knew that this time the dispatch was really dangerous.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: "Brother, I can send troops to rescue Yao Envoy, but I need your help."
"Speaking."
"I need Kaifeng Mansion to help me.
Now my troops are still in Yanfeng Cang, very close to Chenzhou Gate. I need to lead them out of the city from Chenzhou Gate. It is unknown. The young man should know that Li Shangshu ordered all the gates to guard them strictly and to find out of the city. I am afraid it will be difficult.
The fewer people know about this, the better!”
Yu Yin is really scared!
This deep palace and courtyard cannot keep secrets at all, so be extra careful.
After thinking about it, Zhao Chen said, "This matter is not difficult. I will ask me Aweng for help and send Xiao Yi out of the city secretly."
Zhao Chen's Aweng is Zhu Guina, the prefect of Kaifeng.
After receiving his guarantee, Yu Yin felt relieved. He immediately said goodbye and left.
Zhao Chen went to negotiate with Zhu Guina, so he would not mention it for the time being.
Yu Yin went straight to Yanfeng Cang Camp and asked Zhu Meng to Chen Dong and Dong Xian to come.
After discussing it, Yu Yin made a decision.
There are more than a thousand soldiers under his command, but not many are truly worth fighting. No matter the seven hundred soldiers who returned him later or the hundreds who were temporarily gathered together, they are still unable to take on the heavy responsibility. After a while, only six hundred soldiers survived the battle of Chaoyang Gate.
Yu Yin did not intend to fight the Jurchens with these six hundred fierce soldiers. He had his own plans. He ordered Dong to order the troops to start the army first and then went to find Ling Zhen.
During this period, Ling Zhen made dozens of palm thunders.
Seeing Yu Yin asking for it, he immediately handed it over to Yu Yin and told Yu Yin: "This time the palm thunder is more powerful than before, and the lead burns faster than before. If Xiao Yi wants to use it, he needs to be prepared and don't ruin his life."
Yu Yin nodded and said, "Fifty pieces are enough.
This time, the thunder in the palm of his hand was still left to Liang Yucheng for use. The dozens of people under him were familiar with the road, so there was no big problem."
More powerful?
How big can it be!
Yu Yin was curious, but he could only stay on the battlefield to verify.
After taking the palm thunder, he immediately found Liang Yucheng. Liang Yucheng had more than 20 people under his command, and he was also a survivor of the Chaoyang Gate Battle. He even participated in the victory in Guoqiao Town with Yuyin and acted as the thrower of the palm thunder at that time.
These people are naturally familiar with the use of palm thunder.
After Yu Yin repeatedly reminded him, he asked Liang Yucheng to divide the thunder in his palm and take a group of throwing hands to Chenzhou Gate to join the army.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zhao Chen is quite reliable in doing things.
When Yu Yin led his troops to Chenzhou Gate, the Chenzhou Gate Guard had already received the news and was waiting for Yu Yin to arrive.
The Chenzhou Gate Guard, named Wang Jun, was originally a general under Fan Qiong. After Fan Qiong was defeated, Wang Jun defected to Zhu Guina and quickly took over the defense of Chenzhou Gate. He was very polite to Yu Yin, and did not ask about Yu Yin's place. Instead, he opened the city gate directly, secretly released Yu Yin and others, and then closed the city gate.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Yu Yin thought for a while and said softly: "Let's go to Xitai."
Xitai is located northwest of Weizhou Gate, about fifteen miles from Moutuogang, and is the only way to Kaifeng.
Yu Yin led his troops to hide in a sparse forest next to the Xitai, and then sent scouts to closely monitor the movements of Moutuogang.
Time passed by little by little.
Before we knew it, midnight was coming.
Just when Yu Yin felt a little sleepy, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons roaring in the direction of Mou Tuogang, and then shouted to kill him.
Yu Yin was shocked and hurriedly walked to the edge of the shrub forest.
In the distance, in the Jin soldiers camp of Moutuogang, the lights flashed, making it very lively.
Even if you are still six or seven miles away from Moutuogang, you can vaguely hear the shouts of killing coming from Moutuogang.
Wang Lan led a team of scouts to come from the direction of Moutuogang, slammed the horses in front of Yu Yin, and lowered her voice: "Furu, the fight started."
“How is the situation?”
"It doesn't seem to be very good." Wang Lan gasped and whispered: "It seems that the Jin army camp has already made preparations. As soon as our talents attacked, they were surrounded by the other party."
Yu Yin thought to himself: Of course, he is prepared.
Those Jurchens' meticulous works are everywhere, and even if they happen in the deep palace, they can quickly know. Things like stealing camps are about unexpected and unpredictable. But this side is good, and they want to make a big fuss and be known to everyone. In this way, they will become a ghost instead of falling into the trap... Then Wanyan Zongwang, how could he be good at it?
"Fuzhi, what should we do?"
Bi Jin couldn't help asking, his eyes showing hesitation.
There is no doubt that he wants to go to rescue.
But when I thought of these soldiers and horses, my thoughts immediately faded a lot.
How can we save those soldiers and horses just a few hundred people?
Yu Yin said in a deep voice: "Wang Lan, please work hard for a while and continue to observe... Once our army breaks out, we will tell me quickly."
Wang Lan agreed and got on the horse and left.
Yu Yin waved to call Liang Yucheng over. After whispering a few words in his ear, Liang Yucheng quickly left with his men.
Gao Chong and He Yuanqing were on the side, saying nothing.
Bi Jin seemed a little nervous, and opened his mouth, but he didn't speak in the end.
About half an hour later, Wang Lan rushed back again.
The Song army broke through the Jin army camp of Moutuogang and was quickly rushing towards this side. However, behind this Song army, there was still a Jin army following. Who was the chief general of the Jin army? Wang Lan couldn't figure it out very well...
After all, it is not a serious night of not being able to stop, so it is not easy to do this.
Yu Yin did not criticize Wang Lan anymore and asked him to return to the team to rest.
"Zhisanlang. Send the order to make everyone ready... Tonight is the first battle of our prince's personal army. We must do a good job in order to gain a foothold. Later, you and Xiao Yi's fifty horse army will attack each other from front to back.
Follow my orders and as long as the thunder sounds in the palm of Xitai Mountain, you will attack immediately."
"Here!"
Gao Chong and He Yuanqing immediately took the order and left. Soon, a messy footsteps could be heard in the distance.
A team of Song soldiers, about hundreds of people, retreated from the direction of Moutuogang. The general led by a golden helmet and armor were about thirty years old, dragging a big gun in his hand and galloping wildly. In the distance, a team of Jin soldiers were chasing him quickly.
In the night, Yu Yin couldn't see how many pursuers were, but judging from the sound of hooves, the number would not be too small...
To be continued...
