Chapter 794: Sunrise in the East (19)

Jishi City, Assembly Hall Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shenghao gathered all the senior officials of the Zhengdong Mansion who stayed here for only one reason, an urgent document from Liaoning Guards

"The Liaoning Guards were attacked and encountered such huge difficulties. We, the Supervisory Yuan, can't help but feel guilty." Cao Tianci was the first to stand up. "We didn't even hear about such a big move by the Donghu people. If we had been informed in advance, If I had known about this military action, it would not have had such serious consequences. I ask the council to punish me."

Jiang Jiaquan shook his head slightly: "Dean Cao, now is not the time to investigate the responsibility. The Donghu people are still fighting in a corner. This sudden incident, don't say you didn't expect it, all of us here, who did not think of it, can only think of the Donghu people themselves." After the last Battle of Hetao, they were bound to go on the defensive. I didn’t expect that they would dare to counterattack. This is not only your problem, but also the problem of our entire Zhengdong Mansion. We have ignored the wolf nature in Donghu’s human nature and would rather attack. Death, unwilling to guard death"

"Jiang Yizheng is right!" Yan Shenghao nodded slightly, "The Supervisory Yuan has been focusing on the Donghu Mugulu Department for a period of time. Your strength in Donghu is not enough. He Lin is the core of the Donghu people. I can't find out this." Military secrets are nothing unusual."

"Although the Liaoning Guard was attacked, in my estimation, it is not a big problem for Meng Chong to defend the Liaoning Guard. The Liaoning Guard is an important town. At that time, Hu Yanchao led thousands of Zhao's standing troops and nearly 10,000 civilians to firmly defend the Liaoning Guard. , now it is our Eastern Expeditionary Army, will there be problems? What I am worried about is that He Lanxiong and the others who entered the territory of Donghu, with only more than 2,000 cavalry, plunged into a place surrounded by enemies on all sides. The result is extremely difficult to predict. !" Jiang Jiaquan stroked his forehead and sighed.

"This matter. Do you want to inform Madam? After all, Ye Feng also followed He Lanxiong." Yan Shenghao hesitated and asked.

As soon as this word came out. Everyone in the room fell silent for a while. Jiang Jiaquan then said: "How could you not report it? How could you keep such a big thing a secret?"

"I'm afraid Madam will be anxious," Cao Tianci said dullly.

"Had it not been for Ye Feng's talk in Jiepu, He Lanxiong would not have led the cavalry to attack, and the Liaoning Guards would not have encountered a strength crisis." Wang Wuyi said with some annoyance, "In fact, He Lanxiong's choice to send troops this time was completely wrong."

"Shut up!" Jiang Jiaquan shouted in a low voice. Everyone understood this. If He Lanxiong had not chosen to attack, he would not be in the current predicament. He Lanxiong is not a fool. How could he not understand the relationship here and know that attacking is the lowest choice. But in this situation, he has to The attack involved not only Ye Feng's younger brother Ye Jing'er and Gao Yuan's brother-in-law, but also the relationship between the Ye family and the Xiongnu family.

In today's Zhengdong Mansion, there are Ye family and Xiongnu family. There is also the Fufeng group, which almost controls the entire army, while the civil service system like Jiang Jiaquan is another group. With Ye Feng's special status, if He Lanxiong doesn't save him,

If he really died in battle at Jiepukou, I'm afraid that the Xiongnu family and the Ye family would have a bad relationship because of this, and his wife Ye Jing'er would not give up. He Lanxiong must have thought about this clearly, so he had to Lead troops to attack. Compared with the current casualties, if Ye Feng died in Jiepukou. It will be greatly detrimental to the internal unity of Zhengdong Mansion in the future.

He Lanxiong used to be the head of a clan, but now he is also the commander of a legion. He is naturally an extremely shrewd person, but unlike Wang Wucheng, a guy who only deals with numbers, he knows almost nothing about politics.

"When the Governor came, he entrusted all matters in the palace to me and the princes. Now that the Governor is thousands of miles away from Jishi City, we can only make a decision on this matter." Jiang Jiaquan looked around at the people. People, "Let's first discuss He Lanxiong's lone army!"

Wang Wudi was the first to jump out again, "As for the political affairs, from my point of view, we don't need to pay attention to this lone army for the time being. We only need to concentrate all our strength to smash Yu Wenke's army at once, and then wave the army directly. After forcing He Lin, they are naturally not alone."

Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said, "Martial Emperor, you are right, but the Eastern Group Army has suffered a lot of losses now, and it will take time to concentrate its forces. It will take even longer for us to mobilize reinforcements. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, no. Speaking of other things, just talking about money, food and supplies, how long can you put together the consumption required for an army of tens of thousands to attack? "

When it came to money and food, Wang Wudi's face immediately turned bitter, "In discussing politics, within ten days, it will take at least twenty days to meet the needs of five thousand people. If there are more than ten thousand people, it will take at least twenty days. If there are more, I'm afraid It will take more than a month"

"That's right, so He Lanxiong is a lone army, we still have to find a way" Jiang Jiaquan said meaningfully

"The troops led by He Lanxiong are all cavalry. Now the troops in Donghu are concentrating on Yulin. I'm afraid that Yu Wenke's troops just came out after taking off their pants, so the territory of Donghu must be empty." Wu Kai stroked Changxu, "With Helan Xiongbu's fighting power, even if he can't defeat him, he can still run away."

"We need to consider the problem of all the Donghu people being soldiers. If this guy is pressed hard, even women can mount their horses and fight, so they still can't be ignored. Moreover, if you don't throw your troops and horses out to rescue, Madam, I'm afraid she won't be able to justify it. Everyone, Instructor He Lanyan is also on her way back to Jishi City. It might not be good if she hears the news as soon as she comes back, especially since she doesn't dare to be in front of the governor's child now, and the situation has been a bit unstable. Qiu Debao I was very worried about the report I sent back."

When He Lanyan was mentioned, everyone was speechless. She was five months pregnant and yet she dared to carry a sword and go to the battlefield. She was tough enough, but she left a lot of sequelae.

"So no matter what the situation is where He Lanxiong is, we have to send an army out, otherwise the two ladies will not agree," Yan Shenghao concluded.

"Tune up Bai Yucheng's special force!" Jiang Jiaquan said: "It has been nearly a month since Bai Yucheng came back from Yuyang. The rest of the team, selection and recruitment have been completed. Their unit itself is a rare soldier, a sharp knife. It would be better to let them do such a task, and Bai Yucheng is very familiar with the landscape and geography of Donghu. He has been a horse bandit there for many years!"

"Then let him return to his old profession this time!" Wu Kai also laughed.

"The matter is settled like this. Next, we will discuss the reinforcements." Jiang Jiaquan continued: "Yuyang has initially decided that although they have signed an agreement with Zhao Jun, they do not rule out the possibility of going back on their word, so where can Ye Zhen go?" The army must not move, so the only one that can move is Ye Zhong's Southern Group Army. After all, Langya used to be the fiefdom of the Ye family, and the resistance encountered by Zhengdong Mansion's integration there should be much smaller, so the transfer Ye Zhong, go ahead. What I mean is that after Ye Zhong leads his troops to the Liaoning Guard and resolves the crisis in the Liaoning Guard, he can take advantage of the situation and march into Helin, and combine the two field armies in the east and south into one large group. Ye Chong will come "Unified command"

"There is no problem with this. With Ye Zhong's ability and qualifications, there will be no disagreement between He Lanxiong and Meng Chong." Everyone nodded.

"Since He Lanxiong's Eastern Group Army has suffered heavy losses this time, he can take the lead in replenishing them this time. All the graduates from the new batch of military academies should be sent to his army, and then five thousand troops should be recruited from the reserves of Jishi County. People and horses, with these military academy students as officers, strive to sail to Liaoning Guards in the shortest possible time."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs will be busy for a while again. Money and food must be raised immediately. The army has not moved, and food and grass go first. We must not neglect the weapons and equipment at the Ministry of Works. The more the better. This time we not only have to fight the enemy in the field, but also To attack fortresses, more siege equipment also needs to be built."

Wang Wudi, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Guo Quan, the Minister of Industry, both nodded their heads. Guo Quan had not long returned from Dayan City. The main project of Dayan City under his supervision was finally completed not long ago. He had completed his task and finally returned. In Jishi City

"Didn't Madam have been thinking about going back to Langya County to worship her ancestors some time ago? Now is a good time!" Yan Shenghao said: "Ye Zhongjun has left Langya. Madam's return at this time will definitely help Langya's stability and stability. United as one”

"Yan Yizheng's suggestion is good, so he asked his wife to return to Langya in the name of ancestor worship. In this way, even if Ye Zhong's army leaves, Langya will not have big fluctuations because of his wife's presence. As for the small fluctuations, it will not happen. It’s no big deal.” Jiang Jiaquan nodded repeatedly.

"If you have no objections to the above matters, a decision will be made. I will write a letter to the governor immediately, and we will take action immediately to complete all this as quickly as possible." Jiang Jiaquan stood up and looked around everyone.

"Here!" Everyone stood up

In the backyard, Ye Jing'er looked at Jiang Jiaquan, Yan Shengjie, Wu Kai, Cao Tianci and others in front of her. There was no color on their faces. They were all slumped on the chair, eyes staring for a long time before they came back to their senses. , "My lords, Feng'er, he, is he still alive?"

"Madam, He Lanxiong personally led thousands of cavalry to attack Jiepukou. After successfully rescuing Ye Feng, he broke into the territory of Donghu. Although contact is now broken, based on the combat effectiveness of He's tribe and the actual situation in Donghu, everything should be safe for them now. good"

"How can you be safe when you are surrounded by enemies on all sides?" Ye Jing'er murmured.

"Madam, don't worry. General Bai Yucheng will set out tonight to sneak into Donghu territory. He is a veteran of special operations. With his presence, he should be able to smoothly contact General Helan and the others. Moreover, the Assembly Hall has begun to mobilize the army to prepare." Rescue "Jiang Jiaquan gently stroked Ye Jing'er. "Ye Feng is also a general who has experienced many battles, so he must be fine." (To be continued)
