Chapter 212: Infiltrating Guancheng(1/2)
Three days later, He Yuansheng received a reprimand from Emperor Chongxing, and also urged him to pacify the sea border as soon as possible.
Although he knew the intention of this reprimand was just a superficial article, He Yuansheng was still a little angry and felt that Emperor Chongxing was a little weak and he kept compromising against the court officials.
But at this time, he had no time to care about these things, because the information outside the pass had already been sent back.
Now the Yuan Dynasty has secretly gathered troops and transported food and grass to the Jinzhou line, obviously to raise troops to go south.
If Li Zongting was still there and Emperor Yongchang was trapped in Shaanxi, He Yuansheng naturally would not be worried and had no idea.
But the current situation is that there are intrigues in Shenjing City, and Shanhaiguan is in turmoil due to the affairs of the chief general. If the Yuan Dynasty invades south, the result will definitely be very bad.
"Master, you don't have to worry. Even if the Yuan Dynasty invades the south, it will not affect the south!"
Looking at He Yuansheng's worried look, Ye Yumeng spoke out.
"What I'm worried about is Shanhaiguan!"
"Shanhaiguan!"
"good!"
He Yuansheng came to the map, pointed to the area near Shanhaiguan, and said solemnly: "Shanhaiguan is the barrier of Shenjing. If this place is lost, the Yuan Dynasty can attack and retreat and defend. The future situation will be completely changed.
Even if they can defeat the Yuan Dynasty this time, they will go south again, and it will be flat. Whether it is the Liaodong Plain or the capital, it will be beneficial to the Yuan Dynasty cavalry attack!"
"The master can report to the court and make Shanhaiguan more vigilant." Ye Yumeng said
"I'm afraid it's too late!"
He Yuansheng sighed a little because Zhejiang is too far from Shenjing City, and the message is inconvenient to be transmitted.
Moreover, there is a conspiracy in the Nervous City, even if He Yuansheng wrote to remind him, Emperor Chongxing might not make arrangements.
After all, the current Shenjing City, whether it is Emperor Chongxing or Emperor Yongchang, attach great importance to military power, and no one will let his troops leave.
He Yuansheng's answer changed Ye Yumeng's expression. She was extremely smart and good at intrigue. In addition, she mastered the spy and was well-informed, so she could naturally figure out the problems inside.
"Master, let's give memorials, do your best and leave your destiny!"
"Well!"
Although they had other plans, the Yuan Dynasty was a powerful enemy in its life. If they occupied Shanhaiguan, the situation would completely collapse.
However, He Yuansheng's foundation was not stable. If the Yuan Dynasty really occupied the Central Plains, many attempts would probably not be able to be implemented.
He carefully wrote a memorial, which analyzed the current situation and persuaded Emperor Chongxing to strengthen the defense of Shanhaiguan, and then sent people to ride fast horses to send them to Shenjing.
When the memorial was still on the way, outside the pass, Ye Hezhen had already ordered his troops and was ready to go south.
Since framing Li Zongting, Wei Hong immediately sent a letter to Ye Hezhen and persuaded him to go south as soon as possible.
Ye Hezhen was also very decisive and immediately accelerated the speed. He even set out before the entire army was assembled.
After all, if you take down Shanhaiguan, the situation will completely turn to the Yuan Dynasty. You can go south at any time and try to seize the entire Central Plains.
On August 12, the first year of Chongxing, Ye Hezhen left Shenyang with an army of 100,000. In just three days, he passed Jinzhou, less than three hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan.
When camping at night, a messenger walked into the central army's tent: "Prince, letter from the national commander!"
"Come on!" Ye Hezhen said.
The letter soon came to Ye Hezhen's hands. After reading it, a very excited smile appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, what's the good thing?"
Ye Hexiong asked, and he was also very curious.
Because Ye Hezhen is extremely cunning and does not show his emotions, he rarely feels emotional. Now that he is so incompetent, something big must have happened.
"The national teacher is really my loyal minister!"
Ye Hezhen sighed and then handed the letter to Ye Hexiong.
"The national teacher's trick!"
After reading the letter, Ye Hexiong stood up and was very excited.
"Sixth brother, I'm leaving this matter to you. I have to choose a capable person!" Ye Hezhen said.
"I will take a trip myself!"
"No, this is too dangerous!"
"Emperor, once this matter is successful, Shanhaiguan will be our treasure. For the sake of the Yuan Dynasty, my brother is willing to take risks, even if he dies on the spot, he will have no complaints."
Ye Hexiong's attitude was very firm, which made Ye Hezhen hesitate and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, if the national guru makes the arrangements properly, even if this matter is dangerous, it is within the scope of acceptance. You don't have to worry!"
Looking at Ye Hezhen's gaze, Ye Hexiong persuaded him, looking like he was not caring.
"My brother, take care of yourself!"
That night, the Yuan Dynasty camp left two or three hundred people and rushed towards Shanhaiguan.
There was also a group of people in the northeast direction of Shanhaiguan, about fifty miles away.
There were hundreds of people and the caravan was dressed in a caravan. However, after careful observation, you could find that these people were very strong, with calluses in their hands and murderous eyes. They were obviously elites in the army.
In the middle of the crowd, there was an old man who was Wei Hong disguised.
At this time, Wei Hong looked very solemnly, and from time to time he looked at the northeast with his expectant eyes.
"National Master, it's late at night, so let's take a break soon!" A man came over to comfort him.
"You guys rest first!" Wei Hong responded.
"National Master..."
The man wanted to persuade him, but Wei Hong waved his hand and signaled him not to say anything more.
The next morning, a large area of smoke and dust came from afar, and Wei Hong suddenly became serious and watched from afar.
As the distance got closer, Wei Hong saw the situation clearly and looked relaxed on his face.
The two sides quickly met together, and a middle-aged man walked out and clasped his fists at Wei Hong: "National Master, long time no see!"
"Prince Mu, why are you here!"
Wei Hong was surprised because the person in front of him was Ye Hexiong, Prince Mu of the Yuan Dynasty.
"For Shanhaiguan, the national teacher is willing to take risks. How can I not accompany you?" Ye Hexiong said with a smile.
"After the prince took action personally, the success rate of this operation was a few percent higher!"
"No further ado, let's act quickly!"
"good!"
Next, Ye Hexiong's men and horses were replaced and put all the weapons on the caravan carrying carriages.
A quarter of an hour later, three or four hundred people dressed in a caravan appeared. If they did not observe carefully, no one could notice something strange.
After getting ready, Wei Hong left some people, watching the war horses that Ye Hexiong and others rode, and then led the brigade toward Shanhaiguan.
The next morning, just dawn, a team appeared in the northeast of Shanhaiguan.
The team was very slow, a little bit, and came outside the city.
At this time, the city of Guan was not open yet. The team waited for a while until the sun rose and the city gate opened.
Hundreds of soldiers guarding the city gate, a hundred households in the head, asked strangely when they saw Wei Hong: "Why are you back!"
"A few dozen miles away, horse bandits appeared. We were unwilling to take risks, so we came back!"
Wei Hong explained, with a little sad expression, as if he was very upset.
"There are always horse bandits outside the pass, are you not prepared?"
It seems strange that the hundreds of households dare to come out of seclusion.
They are not ordinary people and rarely fear horse bandits.
"Just don't want to cause trouble!"
"I see!"
Baihu responded, then looked at the people in front of him, as if he had discovered something different.
"When you came out of seclusion, there were only a hundred people, why did you come back so many!"
After saying that, he looked at Wei Hong with a defensive look.
"I met someone who had left the customs before, and they were robbed by the bandits, so I returned the same way!"
Wei Hong explained calmly, and then changed the subject: "Sir, let us enter the pass first. We have been driving dozens of miles and we are very tired!"
"Check first!"
The hundred households waved their hands, and then the brigade of soldiers was about to come forward to check.
"Sir, you have read it when you came out of seclusion, so why do you still check it!"
After saying that, he handed over a ingot of silver without a trace, and took out a post and let the Baihu look at it.
