Chapter 230 Tongguan
He led the messenger to rest, Ying Yi pondered for a moment and called Wang Yisheng.
"Send someone to the Crescent Valley of Fangchengshan and ask Zhenren Li to Kaifeng as soon as possible, and say I have something to do to ask him for help."
Wang Yisheng did not dare to neglect and turned around and came out.
Before nightfall, Zhenren Li rushed to Kaifeng with a whip.
At that time, Ying Yi had called Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai and was in the study.
"The real person is here, please take your seat."
Ying Yi greeted him and turned to Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai to continue his previous words: "You must not ignore the abnormalities in the army. You will go to war in April. It is already mid-March. I am going to Tongguan here, and I will probably solve the problem and go north. As soon as Henan responds to government affairs, I will entrust you to you in advance."
Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai agreed, and Zheng Yunzhi said: "All the food, grass and supplies are all needed to go to the expedition, just waiting for the army to set off. The provincial and ministerial yamen are also ready to follow up. As for Henan political affairs, since they are on the right track, the lord doesn't have to worry."
Sun Xiucai said that the Imperial Law Office has also made all preparations.
Ying Yi nodded slightly: "If this is the case, it's good."
We were about to head north in April, and all the troops were secretly deployed as early as early March and made complete preparations.
There were six lieutenants with twenty-four troops and seventy-two thousand soldiers. This time, there were four lieutenants heading north. The officers of the lieutenants were Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Wu, Zheng Jiu, and Qian Yue.
The remaining two lieutenants, eight troops, one stationed in Tongguan and suppressed bandits in the direction of Guanzhong, spreading their influence. The two went south to Huguang, pointed directly to Xiangyang, and left one to town Kaifeng. The remaining one was a full-scale lieutenant who entered Fengyang and hit the capital, attracting the Ming court troops along the Cao transport route. The officers of the lieutenants were Zhang Shi and Zhou Li.
At present, Zhang Shi has personally led two troops to join Xinye and can go south at any time. His troops under him are Li Huan in Tongguan, and the troops guarding Kaifeng have already been in place.
The four troops of Zhou Li's captain had quietly gathered their troops in Guide Mansion, and could go south to Bozhou and enter Fengyang at any time to hit the capital.
Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Wu, Zheng Jiu, and Qian Yue, the four lieutenants were divided into two groups, and Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Jiu were secretly stationed near Mengjin, northern Luoyang; Zheng Wu and Qian Yue were stationed in Baima. The river crossing boats were prepared and the river crossing battle could be launched at any time.
Although the movements were secret, the scale was not small, so it was not unknown. However, the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei had long been taken by Ying Yi, so the news here was difficult to spread. As for few people, at least Hou Xun's troops were still leisurely and had no alertness.
Originally, Ying Yi planned to build the Bafang Tower and Dijiyi in Kaifeng, but unexpectedly, Tongguan was abnormal, so he made a trip immediately, first went to Tongguan to solve the trouble, and then directly led his troops northward to kick off the war in advance.
After explaining all the matters, Ying Yi took the time to comfort his concubine in the backyard, and then asked the maid to go to Zheng Mansion to inform her of the young fiancée, and then led the Ministry of War and Li Zhenren to head straight to Tongguan.
Ying Yi was wearing black armor like ink, reflecting a faint fluorescence in the sunlight. Zhenren Li was by the side. Three thousand golden armored guards armed to their teeth were arranged neatly behind him.
"It's a pity that the armor is heavy, making it difficult for war horses to bear the weight. Even my personal soldiers are only used as infantry." Ying Yi put on his neck and then covered his helmet. A red tassel on the top of the black helmet fluttered in the wind.
Although gold-yuan alloy is lighter than fine steel, the armor is still weighing 60 kilograms on the whole body. In addition, weapons make it difficult for ordinary war horses to last.
Ying Yi himself did not need armor, but as a leader of the side, his door face is always indispensable. His armor is quite different from the soldiers, and it is black, the only one among the troops. It is as thin as paper, only twenty kilograms. It is not for defense ability, but for an image door face.
However, the weapons are extremely heavy, so they have two horses to bear.
Ying Yi's three thousand guards were all heroes in the army. He had the responsibility of protecting the master, so he was rewarded with true spirits. Each of these soldiers had a physical body of more than 2, such as Wang Yisheng, whose physical body exceeded 4, which was no difference from those lieutenants.
Judging from the combat power of the troops, Ying Yi's personal guard department is definitely the strongest.
These soldiers were wearing golden armor, except for their eyes exposed, and there was no flaw on them. They were all wearing seven-foot simple swords, three-eyed guns, short swords, and fully armed. Their equipment was so heavy that they were hundreds of pounds. Fortunately, they were all powerful men with a transcendent body, so they didn't care about this.
"The lord's army is strong, and there has been no one who can compare with each other in a thousand years." Li Zhenren looked back and sighed.
Ying Yi laughed and turned over and said, "Go!"
The army of golden armor was like a divine weapon and a general, and was amazed by the passing of the army. Many people rushed to watch and talked about it.
Ying Yi ignored it and just left Kaifeng and ran west.
...
When Ying Yi set out, it was already dark. He marched suddenly overnight. In the early morning of the next day, he had already arrived in Luoyang. He set up camp outside Luoyang, and ordered the soldiers to bury pots and cook rice, eat a full meal, and rested for another two hours, then drove the camp and headed straight for Tongguan.
Li Huan, the general of Tongguan, hurriedly led his troops to meet him and met halfway.
Holding down the army, Ying Yi saw Li Huan. He saw that he was a little haggard, probably because he was a little nervous these days.
Ying Yi said: "The sky has not collapsed, you are here?"
As a general, Li Huan was commanding three thousand people, and his body was not weak. But in just a few days, he showed signs of haggardness, which showed that his mind was not tenacious enough.
Li Huan bowed and held his fists and said ashamed: "Lord forgives the crime. It is because the strange man is ecstatic, and his subordinates only see the corpses of soldiers every day but have no choice but to be helpless, and they are anxious."
Ying Yi nodded: "A mere alien, you think too much. If this person is really powerful, he will not only find the lonely sentry to take action."
Li Zhenren on the side echoed: "With the generals of Li, they will fight against Zhang Tianshi head-on, and they may not be unable to win."
Li Huan was stunned and speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized that the soldiers under his command were not easy, but their inherent cognition was suppressing the clear mind in his heart. He had not turned around in the past few days.
"I will be ashamed." Li Huan said ashamed.
Ying Yi waved his hand: "The so-called Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his color remains unchanged, and the elk rises on the left but his eyes are not instant. As a general on the side, calmness is a necessary quality. Otherwise, once a war occurs, how can you calmly mobilize troops and generals?"
He also said: "If the Yiren is causing trouble this time, it will be fine, but this is only once. If the Yiren is not causing trouble, he must be punished."
"Here!" Li Huan took a deep breath and bowed.
Then Ying Yi said, "Real person, you and my personal guards go to Tongguan first, check the soldiers' bodies, and make a judgment."
Li Zhenren said: "That..."
Ying Yi waved his hand: "Wang Yisheng brings a few people to me. If strange people are around me, I'll go around and take a look."
Li Huan said: "Lord, no..."
Ying Yi interrupted, "No need to say much. If you go back to Tongguan, you should do it as usual."
Ying Yi often discusses with others in government affairs, but in the military, he always has a word of everything and is unquestionable.
