Chapter 654: This wave is definitely stable. Wang Yue
was speechless. This Emperor Wen had such a strong desire to perform, and he always wanted people to cooperate with the performance. He understood Ling Buyi’s difficulties and coaxed the emperor who had become a bitch and had to build a memorial arch. Being a godfather is not easy.
Fortunately, Wang Yue also has some acting skills. He endured his nausea and quickly said comfortingly, "Your Majesty is kind, but they all had a chance to win the Central Plains, so they must be unconvinced when they think that they are just a little short. , I must be unable to sleep at night."
The emperor twitched his lips. He found that although Wang Yue performed very well, he was not as natural as Ling Yi, and he still cooperated too little. However, since Wang Yue's performance could not be hidden from him , but he felt more relieved.
However, the emperor felt that one thing Wang Yue said was right, that is, now that the world has settled down and people are at peace, no matter who rebels, there will be no chance. He only needs to solve Shouchun's side, and then secretly surrender Xiao Yue. With the official position of Hou, the world will be stable.
Therefore, the emperor thought that Wang Yue was not as considerate as Ling Busuei, but more useful than Ling Busuei. If it were not for the sake of the world, he really would not want to take away Wang Yue's military power and send Wang Yue to other places.
...
Wang Yue didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He rested for a few months and then led his troops to Shouchun as planned, but he didn't take Cheng Shaoshang with him. It's not that Cheng Shaoshang is not suitable for the battlefield, but because she is pregnant. Even though she has been skilled in archery and horse training after the battle in Feng Zhenjun, Wang Yue asked her to raise her baby at home.
This reason was so powerful that even Wen Xiujun, who missed her biological brother, didn't feel anything was wrong. She felt that no matter how strong a bride was, she would be untouchable as long as she was pregnant. Although she plotted against Wang Yue's troops She has a lot of soldiers, but she doesn't want to fight to the death with Wang Yue and her brother.
In order to cooperate with this operation, not long after Wang Yue led his troops and they were still some distance away from Shouchun, the emperor sent Ling Buyi and Cui You to lead two armies to attack from the east and west directions of Shouchun. , of course the reason for the expedition was to go to Jingzhou and Xuzhou to suppress bandits.
It's just that Shouchun is not a fool. Is it necessary to send out an army of 200,000 to suppress the bandits? It was self-evident who the bandit was, not to mention someone exchanging information with Shouchun. Therefore, the moment Ling Buyi and Cui You set off for the battle, Shouchun was already preparing for war.
Wang Yue had already prepared for this. His inn had already arrived in Shouchun. After getting the news, he quickly marched to Shouchun and directly occupied Tongniu County, which has high walls and thick walls. No intention of moving forward.
Wang Yue followed the magistrate Tongniuyan calmly to communicate about the situation here. By calculating the output of copper mines, he found that a large amount of copper mines disappeared every year. According to the news from an inn, Shouchun recently There is a batch of counterfeit coins in circulation, and it is suspected that someone is secretly minting copper coins. It is obvious who is doing this.
While the two were discussing, Wen Xiujun barged in regardless. When she saw Wang Yue, she asked anxiously, "Why are the army stranded in Tongniu? What are your intentions?" Wang Yue was already at this time
. There was no need to cover up, he threw a handful of copper coins at Wen Xiujun's feet, and then scolded him coldly, "Look at the good things your brother has done, no wonder I asked you to ask the queen for the right to mint coins. It turns out that minting has already started. Now I can't hide it any more, and then I think of asking you to force the queen. Is this what you call Shouchun poor? I will give you a chance now to ask your brother to return to Kyoto immediately and ask for forgiveness from the emperor. Otherwise, the Qian'an family will I'm afraid it's gone."
Wen Xiujun is not a fool. She glanced at the copper coins at her feet, picked them up and looked at them carefully. She immediately understood the cause and effect. She was a little panicked. He didn't know Ling Buyi and Cui You yet. She had already led the army to set off, but she also knew that Shouchun would definitely be doomed if the matter of secretly casting copper coins was revealed. Now she no longer thought about Wang Yue's armor, and quickly said with a smile, "There must be some misunderstanding here, I Just write a letter and ask my brother to explain this matter clearly to Your Majesty."
Wang Yue rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is kind today, as long as King Xiao Qian'an truly repented, he would be demoted to a commoner at most. As your sister takes care of me, I don’t have to support so many diners, so my life won’t be much worse.”
Wen Xiujun was also afraid. She knew that if the coinage could not be concealed, she asked her to embarrass the queen. She thought that the matter must be very urgent. The emperor must have known about it a long time ago. He could not do anything with Wang Yue's army. Those who came to block the door were to protect the Tongniu copper mine and cut off Shouchun's financial path. The emperor must have sent another army here.
Because he was worried about his brother's safety, Wen Xiujun acted very quickly. He didn't even write a letter. He led several servants on fast horses and quickly left Tongniu County and headed towards Shouchun.
Ji Feng and other Wen Xiujun and others had gone far away, and then they found Wang Yue to report, "My lord, Wen Xiujun has left the city, what should we do next?" Wang Yue was very grateful to Lou Ben at this moment
. With his map, it would be much easier to fight. He glanced at the Tongniu County Magistrate, and then said coldly, "She must have been escorted by the army when she left and came back. This Tongniu County magistrate King Xiao Qian'an will definitely be reluctant to part with the copper mine, and will definitely send an army here. You lead the army out of the city to ambush as planned, and eat the opponent's troops for me." Ji Feng just admires his lord. At this time, most people are defensive, only
him Jia took the initiative and was still thinking about attacking, so he became more heroic, nodded, and immediately made arrangements according to Wang Yue's arrangements.
From the moment the army set off, no one was allowed in or out of Tongniu County to prevent any news from being released. Multiple detection horses were set up at various checkpoints around the county to intercept the caravans.
Under Wang Yue's strict defense, no one in Shouchun knew that he had sent troops out of the city, let alone the ambush he had set up.
Sure enough, Wang Yue's soldiers and horses didn't have to wait long. On the next night, Shouchun guard Ma Rong and his lieutenants arrived with 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, it would be easy to destroy Wang Yue's 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary troops with 30,000 soldiers. What's more, they also have arrangements in Tongniu County. As soon as the army arrives, someone will open the city immediately. The whole Shouchun family felt that this wave must be stable.
But this was not a normal situation. Wang Yue's surprise ambush was just an ambush. Ma Rong and his lieutenants were killed in battle. Half of the 30,000 soldiers were killed, and the rest were killed by Wang Yue's troops in fear. , surrendered very obediently. As for the auxiliary soldiers, they surrendered directly without even a fight. These auxiliary soldiers are all old men who were forcibly recruited. How can they fight to the death? Whoever follows them is not eating.
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. In such a battle, Wen Xiujun, who was kidnapped by Ma Rong, miraculously survived, and his skin was only bruised when he fell off the horse.
Wang Yue looked at Mr. Wen Xiu who was being brought to his side, and he scolded him coldly, "It seems that your brother is determined to rebel. Shouldn't you be in Shouchun? Why did you bring him here?"
Wen Xiujun never thought that her beloved brother would treat her like this and ask her to come and cooperate with the deception.
It turned out that Wen Xiujun arrived in Shouchun and told King Xiaoqianan about the situation. King Xiaoqianan heard that Wang Yue was waiting for him to return to the capital to beg for mercy. Without thinking, he asked his men to wear his clothes and take Wenxiu with him. Sir, prepare to go to Tongniu County to feign surrender.
As long as they can cooperate with the ambushes in the city to deceive the city gate, the 50,000-strong army can wipe out Wang Yue's 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers in an instant. You must know that the soldiers and horses under his command are all descendants of Lao Qian'an Wang's family. They are all soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles. He does not feel that he is as stupid as King Yong and fell into Wang Yue's ambush.
As for Wen Xiujun's life or death, Prince Xiaoqianan didn't care at all. After all, he was not born to a mother.
Seeing that Wen Xiujun seemed to have regrets, Wang Yue stopped entangled. After gathering the defeated troops, he took the prisoner Wang Yue back to Tongniu. It was not that he was unwilling to attack Shouchun at night, but he simply lacked the strength. .
You must know that Shouchun still has at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise he would not have the confidence to rebel. He only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and after a great battle, he still has to guard 60,000 to 70,000 surrendered soldiers and horses. It is really heartbreaking. There is more than enough but not enough power.
Wang Yue also hoped that General Shouchun would lead his troops to attack just after the battle. After all, this was the best moment for Shouchun to break the situation, and he was ready for a fierce battle.
However, what Wang Yue didn't expect was that Shouchun showed no movement during the days he was prepared to make corrections. He seemed to know the failure and was preparing to use defense as offense. He didn't know what Peng Kun, Xiao Qianan and Wang were so stupid. That's it. Still want to rebel.
However, seeing how timid the other party was, Wang Yue was relieved. He would not go to Shouchun to attack the city and would wait for Ling Buyi and the good old Cui You.
Seeing that the other party was so timid, Wang Yue began to send cavalry around to collect the accounts of King Xiaoqianan's coins. He firmly believed that these coins could not only be circulated in Shouchun, so who else could be involved?
While Wang Yue was waiting, he actually found some witnesses.
It turns out that Xiao Qian'an Wang has been dissatisfied for a long time, and he is also working hard to train soldiers and horses, but he has insufficient money and has been very slow. However, Xiao Qian An Wang also knows that this will not happen overnight, and may take decades.
You must know that the emperor's sons are all grown up, but there is only one throne. The prince born to the Yue Concubine will definitely not be willing to accept it. If there is no trouble, the world will be disrupted. The opportunity for the Xiaoqianan King's lineage will come.
At this time, a retainer suddenly gave an idea. Shouchun was guarding the copper mine, why not make his own money? This man also brought several sets of tools for making money. In an instant, King Xiao Qianan was tempted. You must know that when the coins are circulated, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the real ones from the fake ones.
When Wang Yue saw this, he knew that King Xiao Qian'an had been tricked, and he stupidly got in. He immediately thought of the Gucheng case. It was Xiao Yuehou who informed King Lao Qianan that there was a miasma in the wild land and personally sent troops to check it. This seemed to be a trap, and it turned out that the old man and the young man were not long-sighted.
You must know that it was King Lao Qian'an who insisted on the marriage, which caused Concubine Yue to change from a wife to a concubine. Xiao Yuehou wished that King Lao Qian'an would die, how could he be so kind. How could King Lao Qian'an believe what Xiao Yuehou said? Just grab a few locals and ask.
Wang Yue felt that the person who used the trick this time was still Xiao Yuehou. After all, not everyone wanted the death of Xiao Qianan Wang's clan.
Even without Wang Yue, the coinage case would still break out, and King Xiao Qianan would still be killed.
It's just that Xiao Yuehou hates King Qian'an so much, will he not hate the Xuan family?
Wang Yue woke up suddenly. It seemed that Xiao Yuehou would attack him sooner or later.
With mental preparation, Wang Yue became more careful in doing things. Fortunately, he still had an ally to deal with the Yue clan, and that was Ling Buyi.
When Cao Cao arrived, Wang Yue was still talking about Ling Buyi, so Ling Buyi's messenger came. He sent his confidant Liang Qiu Fei to inform Wang Yue to go and besiege Shouchun together.
Of course Wang Yue is willing. He now has strong soldiers and horses. After this period of competition, more than 20,000 surrendered soldiers were selected who were willing to commit crimes and perform meritorious service. His soldiers and horses also numbered 50,000 to 60,000. Together with Ling Buyi and Cui Together with You's army, Shouchun was easily overwhelmed.
Wang Yue, Ling Buyi and Cui You gathered together to discuss how to defeat the enemy.
Ling Buyi and Cui You both wanted to besiege but not attack. Because the incident broke out suddenly, Shouchun must have insufficient food and grass. As long as the siege lasted for several months, Shouchun City would be destroyed without attack.
Wang Yue thought for a while and said bluntly, "Of course it is better not to attack by force, but the people in Shouchun City will suffer. In my opinion, it is better for us to build earth walls and use the high slopes to suppress the archers in the city. If we wait for an opportunity to attack the city, it will be miraculous."
Ling Buyi and Cui You thought it might be useless, but they both felt that idleness was idle, so hundreds of thousands of troops started to play the trick of building mounds.
Within a few days, a high earthen slope was built outside Shouchun City. Archers outside the city could easily shoot their bows and arrows into the city wall, or even inside the city wall, but the archers inside the city could not shoot at the soil outside. On the slope, the offensive and defensive momentum suddenly changed.
Sure enough, seeing this scene, the defenders in the city couldn't sit still. If this continues, as long as the trebuchet is moved up the slope, the soldiers will no longer be able to defend the city.
Peng Kun, the general of Shouchun who couldn't sit still, had no choice but to rush out with his troops, preparing to fight his way out of Shouchun. He felt that an army of more than 100,000 people could still allow him to fight his way out.
Wang Yue didn't expect Peng Kun to be so impatient. He had just brought Wen Xiujun and was about to persuade him to surrender. Unexpectedly, the city gate opened and the troops in the city rushed out.
Wang Yue knew why the opponent chose his direction to break out. Is it because he had too many troops and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced? The combat power will not be low.
In a matter of seconds, Peng Kun and Prince Xiao Qian'an rushed towards Wang Yue's Chinese army tent. Wang Yue, who was charging back, was struck head-on. Looking at his bravery, he looked like a disabled person.
We need to know the news about Wen Xiujun. It is said that King Lao Qian'an entered the miasma and it was Peng Kun who carried him out. Not only did King Lao Qian'an die, Peng Kun also became disabled, so he was killed by Xiao Qian'an. Wang and Wen Xiujun trusted him very much.
When Wang Yue saw Peng Kun coming out from a distance, he glared at the stunned Wen Xiujun and immediately rushed to meet the enemy. He thought of a possibility. Since this guy was a fake, it meant that he might be the one who killed his whole family. murderer.
He was still a little suspicious at first. After all, the person who went to assassinate the person in his home might have been leaked by a soldier. But now he no longer has that worry. As long as Peng Kun is captured, he will definitely know who the mastermind is.
Wang Yue didn't hesitate and rushed over. He missed Peng Kun's sword with a short stature and stabbed Peng Kun in the shoulder from a tricky angle with the spear in his hand, instantly killing Peng Kun. Fall off the horse.
It's not that Wang Yue is so powerful, but that he knows that he will definitely not die. He uses all thrilling and desperate moves. Peng Kun never expected that he would be so murderous at such a young age. He would be picked off without checking for a moment, and then he would be thrown. Dizzy.
As Wang Yue sprinted, Ji Feng subconsciously wanted to help Wang Yue deal with Peng Kun. His sword was originally aimed at Peng Kun, but Peng Kun was thrown away by Wang Yue before the move could reach him. Ji Feng, who could not hold back the sword, With one blow, he chopped off the head of King Xiao Qian'an who was following Peng Kun, and King Xiao Qian'an died on the spot.
