Chapter 35: A Loyal Minister, Appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister

Hiss!

Shuobei proclaimed himself emperor, put on the yellow robe, and established a new country name!

Fan Wuji's words, word by word, were like rolling thunder, exploding in the mind of Pang Xianchu, the chief general of the Longcheng army's northern expedition, which made him tremble and take a breath of cold air.

If it were in the past, if anyone dared to say the above treasonous words in front of Pang Xianchu, the brave general personally appointed by the late emperor Zhao Mang, I'm afraid Pang Xianchu would have drawn his sword and killed the traitor.

But now, Pang Xianchu, the chief general of the Longcheng northern expedition, who was adopted by the late king Chen Polu since childhood and had loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness engraved in his bones, frowned and remained silent.

After a long time, Pang Xianchu finally raised his head, looked at Fan Wuji with a sharp gaze, and said firmly: "Fan Wuji, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now!"

"In the future, you must never mention it in front of anyone!"

As he said this, murderous intent flashed in Pang Xianchu's deep pupils, and his tone suddenly became sharp: "Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship!"

"General!"

Fan Wuji wanted to say something, but was interrupted rudely by Pang Xianchu: "Enough!"

Then, Pang Xianchu said sternly: "General Fan Wuji, listen to my orders!"

"I am here!"

Although Fan Wuji was holding back a lot of words, he had to stand up and wait for the general's order.

Pang Xianchu ordered: "This general orders you to immediately organize the army and personally lead the front army of 10,000 light cavalry to search and advance in the direction of Shuobei. There must be no mistakes!"

"I obey the order!"

Fan Wuji immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order. When he turned around and walked to the exit of the central army tent, he paused. However, he did not turn around again in the end. Instead, he sighed and left the tent without looking back.

Looking at Fan Wuji's lonely back, Pang Xianchu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

How could he not know that what Fan Wuji was thinking in his heart was nothing more than eight words "a minister who follows the dragon, a marquis and a prime minister"!

I think this is also human nature.

Brothers risked the death of nine clans and put their heads on their belts to follow His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to raise troops in Longcheng to quell the rebellion. Isn't it just to ennoble his wife and children in the future?

Although, since raising troops in Longcheng to quell the rebellion, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has never shown any signs of claiming to be alone.

However, for the generals of the Po Lu Army who followed the King of Jin in the uprising, everyone knew it well.

The civil and military achievements of King Chen Huaian of Jin, and his fiefdom of one city and thirty-six counties, were well-known, far better than the tyrannical and erratic Emperor Zhao Gan of Daxin.

Once the Jingnan was successful, King Jin would definitely not continue to be a monarch and a minister with Zhao Gan.

It would be a natural thing to rule the world and support the country.

However, Fan Wuji's proposal to let King Chen Huaian of Jin proclaim himself emperor in Shuobei and establish a new country seemed a bit hasty.

At present, the Turkic cavalry invaded Shuobei and headed straight for Longcheng, and the Daxin Dynasty had 1.5 million heavy troops inside, and both the timing and conditions were not enough to support His Royal Highness King Jin to proclaim himself emperor in Shuobei.

If the time was right, Pang Xianchu would be happy to give Chen Huaian a piece of clothing while the weather was cold, a yellow robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon!

"Report--"

"General, the King of Jin invites you to the big tent to discuss matters!"

Suddenly, the messenger's voice in the army brought Pang Xianchu back to reality from his wild thoughts. He hurriedly grabbed the information on the table that the Turkic army attacked Shuobei at night and captured the important border town and rushed to the big tent where Chen Huaian was staying.

Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first.

"Your Highness, urgent military information--"

"The Turkic army of 100,000 attacked Shuobei City at night, and the important town on the northwest border fell into the hands of the enemy!"

As soon as the voice fell, Pang Xianchu walked into the big tent with a dragon-like step and handed the intelligence letter paper with the ink on his hand to Chen Huaian.

"What?"

Hearing this news, Chen Huaian, who was changing clothes and washing, was shocked.

While wiping the water stains on his face with a white towel, he reached out to take the intelligence letter paper from Pang Xianchu's hand and checked it word by word.

"Damn it, Wu Qingyun, this old man deserves death. He caused 200,000 innocent people in Shuobei to suffer such a disaster for his personal grudge!"

"These Turkic barbarians deserve death even more. They dared to occupy my important border town and slaughter my border people. Do they really think that my Longcheng Po Lu Army is nothing?"

Chen Huaian clenched the intelligence letter into a ball with a fist and said angrily:

"Pang Xianchu, immediately order Fan Wuji to lead the front army's black armor light cavalry to search and advance in the direction of Shuobei City. Don't let Timur's cavalry go around the back of Longcheng Northern Expedition Army to launch a sneak attack!"

Pang Xianchu said: "Reporting to Your Highness, after learning the news of the fall of Shuobei, I immediately ordered Fan Wuji to lead 10,000 cavalry to search and advance in Shuobei!"

Well!

Hearing this, Chen Huaian nodded and said, "That's good!"

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Where is the Yunhui Army in Shuobei City now?"

Pang Xianchu said, "Reporting to Your Highness, the scouts reported that the 80,000 Yunhui Army led by Liang Erhu, the commander of the Yunhui Army, had reached Panlong Pass yesterday, and then set out overnight to return to Shuobei City. They are now wandering in the area from Shenfeng Ridge to Hutou Ridge outside Shuobei City!"

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Huaian had already marked the specific location of the Yunhui Army on the marching map.

Then, he ordered, "Pass the order down, the army will set out immediately, and must take the Panlong Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, before the Yunhui Army and the Turks, and cut off the only way for Liang Erhu and Timur to lead their troops to the south!"

"I have received the order!"

Pang Xianchu immediately accepted the order.

After Pang Xianchu left, Chen Huaian looked at the map thoughtfully.

The excitement of getting 10,000 elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry last night had not yet been digested, and the cruel reality poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Chen Huaian said to himself: "This group of Turkic barbarians led a large army to attack Shuobei at night, which disrupted my overall plan!"

Then, he threw the brush in his hand on the map and said: "Ninety thousand against two hundred thousand, a pot of half-cooked rice, this battle in Shuobei is not easy to fight!"

"Now, we can only hope that Chang Shiwan, the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, can seize Yunzhou City as soon as possible!"

......

Chizhou City.

The camp of the Longcheng army marching south.

A-choo--

A-choo--

Chang Yuchun, who had just woken up, was puzzled, thinking that he didn't have a cold, so why did he sneeze several times in a row in the early morning?

Could it be that some beautiful lady from Longcheng is talking about Old Chang behind my back!

"Report--"

"General, the scouts sent to Yunzhou City have reported that they have found out the enemy situation in Yunzhou. The enemy commander Wu Qingyun is stationed in Yunzhou City, and he has 100,000 soldiers defending the city!"

Soon, the news brought back by the messenger brought Chang Yuchun back to reality.

He waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Pass on this general's order, the whole army will immediately set out to Yunzhou, without any mistakes!"

"I have received the order!"

The messenger hurriedly took the order and left.

During this period, Chang Yuchun also pulled his saber out of the scabbard again, looked at the sharp, cold and shining ring-headed sword in his hand with a burning look, and said with a little excitement:

"Old buddy, I know you have been thirsty for a long time since the southern expedition. In the battle of Yunzhou, I will definitely let you drink enough, don't worry!"
