The king behind the empress

Chapter 460 Crouching Tiger Ridge

Because she didn't know how long it would take for the army to go, Tang Weiyi immediately let the army set off after the army was ready, trying to completely calm the northern border before Mo Zizai rushed back.

As for Yang Weishang, he didn't dare to pass the news to Mo Zizai. After all, Tang Weiyi didn't want Mo Zizai to intervene in this matter. If he sent a letter to Mo Zizai, it would be just asking for trouble.

However, instead of sending a letter to Mo Zizai, he sent a letter to Yang Yanzhang, urging him to speed up the march and return to Beijing with the prisoners.

After he came back, with the horse speed of the Chiyanlongrider, he might catch up with the army of the Northern Expedition. At that time, with the escort of the Chiyanlongrider, no matter what the battle situation was, the Empress would not be surprised.

And Tang Weiyi didn't know these calculations in the rear. She knew that going out with the army would definitely bring a lot of trouble to the army, but as long as it didn't affect the overall situation, she didn't care so much. As long as she could help Mo Zizai solve the North King An, those troubles are nothing.

The news of the imperial court's Northern Expedition was not concealed. After Mo Yuanji left Dingzhou and laid down a city, he continued to march without stopping. As a result, he received news that the imperial court's army was coming to the Northern Expedition. dilemma.

"Why did the army of the imperial court go to the north?"

Looking at the information in his hands, Mo Yuanji couldn't figure out why things happened like this. The imperial court left Zheng Guo's Xiao Yanbing alone, but led a large army to the Northern Expedition. Did they not want this capital?
Or, they would rather hand over the capital to Xiao Yanbing, and fight with themselves to lose both?Have you ever been hated so much?

Not to mention that I am Mo Zizai's uncle, he is also a member of the Great Zhou royal family, just say that Mo Zizai bought horses from the grassland before, didn't he turn a blind eye, there is no such thing as Mo Zizai, why Can you just make life difficult for yourself?

Mo Yuanji couldn't figure it out. As for Xiao Yanbing being defeated by Mo Zizai with the Chiyan Dragonrider alone, he never thought about it at all. Xiao Yanbing was Mo Congyi's opponent back then. If he could be defeated so easily, he would have How could it be possible to have a stalemate with Mo Congyi in the northern border for so many years.

"It's unreasonable!"

Mo Yuanji, who couldn't figure it out, looked at the information in his hand, especially the part where it was written that the empress's personal conquest was written on it, and threw the information in his hand aside bitterly.

The female emperor's personal conquest is not a good thing for the court, and it is not necessarily good for him, because the general emperor's personal conquest, whether it is to capture or kill, is considered a major weakness, but the female emperor is different. Yes, she is the emperor, but behind her stands a Mo Zi who looks like a lunatic.

If the empress was injured during the battle between the two armies, then the lunatic wouldn't need the power of the whole country to beat him to death.

Therefore, this empress is also a hot potato for him, even if he knows that the empress is a weakness in the imperial army, he dare not take advantage of it.

Jia Yu, on the other hand, had nothing to worry about at the moment. After seeing the information, his eyes flickered, and he immediately felt that an opportunity had come, but before he could speak, Mo Yuanji immediately stopped him.

"If you want to persuade me to do something to the empress, then you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Jia Yu was not discouraged at all, and persuaded, "My lord, it's not that I want to take revenge at the hands of my lord, but this opportunity..."

"I told you to shut up."

Mo Yuanji glanced at Jia Yu coldly, and said, "If you bring up this matter again, this king will put you in prison immediately, do you believe it?"

After learning that the prairie barbarians had disappeared, Mo Yuanji was not very polite to Jia Yu. Although Jia Yu would be needed later, so he did not kill Jia Yu, but the woodcutter who protected him had already been killed. He was surrounded and killed.

So at this moment, Jia Yu was already alone.

Hearing Mo Yuanji's words, Jia Yu squeezed the information in his hands unwillingly, and said, "My lord, even if you don't move the empress, when you win the court, do you think Mo Zizai will hold you high?"

Mo Yuanji glanced at Jia Yu, and said flatly, "Being an enemy of a lunatic is not the same as provoking a lunatic."

"Believe me, neither you nor I want to see a madman who is irritated."

"He's already a lunatic, why bother whether he is provoked or not."

Jia Yu said without giving in, "For a lunatic, the best solution is to kill him."

"Ah."

Mo Yuanji sneered, and said, "If I remember correctly, your adoptive father still has clan members in Qianchuan County, right?"

"What does the prince mean by saying this?"

Jia Yu was taken aback when he heard that, and then said, "What does this have to do with my adoptive father?"

"Believe it or not, if you dare to target the empress, and if he knows your identity, he dares to send someone directly to Qianchuan, behead your adoptive father's whole family, and then hang all the heads of your adoptive father's family on Fighting with you on the flag?"

Back then when Mo Zizai stayed in the capital as a proton, Mo Yuanji had met this kid a few times. Although this kid wasn't very successful at that time, he was ruthless in his bones. If he wasn't sure enough to kill this kid No matter what Mo Yuanji said, he would not anger him.

Otherwise, Mo Yuanji can be sure that when this kid takes revenge, he will definitely use any means.

Therefore, it is the right way to defeat him openly, cut off his wings completely, and make him incapable of going crazy.

Otherwise, this kid will go crazy, and I can't stand it.

When Jia Yu heard this, his face turned pale. After he was silent for a while, although he didn't say anything, he never dared to mention anything against the Empress again.

"The imperial court has an army of [-], and judging from their ability to easily defeat the southern family, their combat power will not be too weak. If they really want to fight head-on, even if the frontier army wins, they will suffer heavy losses."

Jia Yu changed the subject and asked, "So, how does the prince plan to deal with it?"

"This king can't make up his mind."

Seeing that Jia Yu was timid, Mo Yuanji shook his head instead of mocking him, and said, "If there is really no other way, this king plans to abandon Leyao City and retreat to Dingzhou."

"This king doesn't believe it. She really doesn't want the capital. After waiting for a while, Xiao Yan's troops will exert their strength, and she will naturally retreat at that time."

"Such a response is naturally the best strategy, but has the prince ever thought about it, now that we have attracted all the troops of the imperial court, Xiao Yan's soldiers can easily drive straight in."

Jia Yu looked at Mo Yuanji, and said, "If Xiao Yanbing takes the capital, is the prince sure to take it back from Xiao Yanbing's hands?"

"After it's in Xiao Yanbing's hands, it's not that easy to get it back."

Mo Yuanji felt quite helpless, "It's just that this female empress has gone crazy for some reason. She insists on targeting me first and not letting go of this opportunity. What can I do?"

Having said that, Mo Yuanji looked up at Jia Yu, and asked, "Now you are on the same front as me, if you have any thoughts, don't hide it, just say it."

"Crouching Tiger Ridge!"

Jia Yu circled a spot on the map, and then said, "This mountain is steep and the valley is narrow. If the imperial court's army can be led here, the imperial court will surely be defeated!"

"impossible."

Mo Yuanji has studied this topographic map countless times, so after hearing Jia Yu mention Crouching Tiger Ridge, he shook his head without hesitation, "The terrain of Crouching Tiger Ridge is indeed very suitable for ambush soldiers, but it is also because it is too It fits, so it won't be used."

"Wei Huang fought east and west with Mo Congyi back then. If he couldn't even see this ambush, Mo Congyi would not have promoted him to the position of the leader of the Habayashi Army."

"There is no need for an ambush, just a fire attack."

Jia Yu drew a line on the map, which spread for more than ten miles, and finally his fingers stopped at Crouching Tiger Ridge, "As long as you prepare fire starters in advance and pile them on the cliff, Wei Huang's scouts will definitely notice No problem."

"At that time, if he uses the frontier soldiers as bait to lure the enemy into deep, even if he realizes something is wrong, he will never want to withdraw the army easily."

Hearing what Jia Yu said, Mo Yuanji couldn't help but take a deep look at him. Ever since Situ Yao died in Mo Zizai's hands, his strategies have become more poisonous every time.

To lure the enemy to go deep, to put it simply, how to lure the enemy is not to use the frontier army to lure the enemy.

Not to mention how much the frontier troops will lose if they lure the enemy in this way, just say that with so many frontier troops, after luring the enemy deep, it is impossible to shake off all the imperial army at Crouching Tiger Ridge.

Therefore, his fire will not only burn the army of the imperial court, but also the soldiers of the frontier army.

However, although this strategy is poisonous, in Mo Yuanji's view, it is not without merit. If this strategy is successful, the losses of the frontier army will definitely be far less than the losses of the frontal battle.

"Is it burning Crouching Tiger Ridge?"

Mo Yuanji pondered for a long time, and finally decided to go to Jia Yu's plan, but this matter should not be made public, so it would leak out. In addition to sending [-] soldiers to Crouching Tiger Ridge to prepare the fire, he also sent his own relatives. Supervise the soldiers to prevent those soldiers from leaking information.

At the same time, he also gave up attacking the next city, and personally led the army to deploy defenses in front of Crouching Tiger Ridge, assuming that he would fight to the death with the imperial army outside Crouching Tiger Ridge.

……

"Arranging defenses outside Crouching Tiger Ridge?"

Wei Huang is a calm person. Although his military strength can completely crush Mo Yuanji, he doesn't have any complacency. Instead, he pondered for a while according to the map. This is not far from Crouching Tiger Ridge, which always makes Wei Huang feel that something is wrong.

Qi Xiu watched Wei Huang staring at Crouching Tiger Ridge with a vacillating expression, and probably guessed what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to say: "Marshal Wei, why don't you bring some people around to check in Crouching Tiger Ridge first? ?”

"No need."

Wei Huang looked at the map and pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Whether he set up an ambush in Crouching Tiger Ridge or not, we don't care about him."

"If you want to rely on the location, I will give you no chance to return to Crouching Tiger Ridge."

After finishing speaking, Wei Huang opened his mouth and ordered: "Qi Xiu, you personally lead the [-] Yuzhi soldiers to separate from the army."

"When the battle starts, you don't care about anything, and lead an army of [-] straight to the rear of the Northern Army."

Wei Huang put down the map in his hand, looked up at Qi Xiu, and said sternly, "I only have one request for you, and that is to seal off the entrance to Crouching Tiger Ridge so that none of them can go back."

"Here!"

Qi Xiu responded, and directly issued a military order, "If Mo Yuanji is released, the general will come to see him."

"Don't be careless."

Wei Huang warned, "If there is an ambush in Crouching Tiger Ridge, you may face the situation of being attacked by the enemy, so you must proceed carefully."

"I will understand at the end."

Qi Xiu nodded, he knew this matter well, but Wei Huang sent an army of [-], and with the strength of the Yuzhi army, even if he was attacked from both sides, he was not at all afraid, "This matter will definitely not go wrong. "

"it is good."

Wei Huang looked at Qi Xiu's confident expression, so he didn't say any more. With the strength of the Yuzhi Army, [-] troops can defeat the [-] Northern Border Army head-on, so he can take out [-] Yuzhi Army without hesitation. It is so willful to cut off the retreat of the northern border army and have an absolute advantage in strength.

As for the remaining troops, except for the [-] Habayashi Army guarding the Empress, who did not move, he would directly press on the rest.

In the case of superior strength, it is superfluous to use any strategy, just crush it directly.

After finalizing the military strategy, Wei Huang asked the empress for instructions to speed up the marching of the army. Now there is only the northern border in the Great Zhou that has not been leveled. After the King of Bei’an is destroyed, the Great Zhou will usher in real peace. , so Wei Huang didn't want to wait any longer. In just two days, the army had already rushed to the outskirts of Crouching Tiger Ridge, facing the northern border army head-on.

"The order goes on, the army does not need to rest, and it is ready to meet the enemy."

Normally, after a two-day trek, the army must set up camp and let the soldiers rest. In addition, large-scale wars cannot be ended in a day or two, so no matter how you look at it, setting up camp is very important. necessary.

But Wei Huang did not do this, because the soldiers of the Yuzhi Army were all above the Marrow Cleansing Realm. For them, the two-day march was nothing more than a little bit of fatigue. So it doesn't affect them to fight directly.

And there is another point, Wei Huang is worried that after the army rests, let Mo Yuanji realize the strength of the Yuzhi army, and it will be bad if he scares him away.

"What does Wei Huang mean by that?"

Seeing the Yuzhi army directly forming the formation, Mo Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help feeling angry from the bottom of his heart in an instant. insult!

Not only him, but the other generals of the frontier army were also furious. They originally followed Mo Yuanji to attack the court, which made them feel a little guilty and uneasy, but after seeing Wei Huang despise their frontier army so much, they immediately sent those Throwing his emotions aside, he asked for a fight and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard to fight against the Yuzhi army."

"My lord, the last general invites us to fight. I want him to know that Wei Huang knows that our God... our frontier army is not something he can humiliate!"

"it is good!"

Mo Yuanji saw that the army's spirit was available, so he no longer hesitated, and directly said: "Xiaoqing, you are the vanguard in this battle, you must show the momentum of our frontier army!"

Although Mo Yuanji intends to feign defeat and lure the Yuzhi army into Wolong Ridge, feigning defeat also requires a strategy. Directly sent out the strongest army under his command.

In this battle, he must win first and then lose!
