Chapter 580 Two days after Wei Zheng was transferred back to Liangzhou, the news of the annihilation of more than 400,000 Ning troops led by Ming Xiaotian was transmitted back to Ningdu, which not only caused an uproar in the imperial court of Ningguo, but also shocked the whole country of Ningguo, and everyone was in danger.
The annihilation of the 400,000 Ning troops who invaded the Feng Country without equals and the invincible war, coupled with the death of 500,000 people in Hedong this time, has sharply reduced the strong men in the Ning Kingdom, which is difficult to recover for ten or even twenty years.
Hearing this, Yan Chu was shocked and sad and angry, there was Wei Zheng in Hedong, although he could not defeat the Feng Army, but at least he could fight a draw with it, and he would not fall to the tragic situation of the whole army, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said that Wei Zheng was conservative and did not dare to fight the Feng Army, which led to the unfavorable war in Hedong, and even Changsun Yuanhong also said that any general could replace Wei Zheng, what was the result, and replaced Ming Xiaotian as the commander of the whole army, which directly led to more than 400,000 soldiers of the Ning Army being burned by a fire of the Feng Army.
At this time, Yan Chu hated the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and hated Changsun Yuanhong even more, but he didn't dare to show his attitude, now there is no elite division in Liangzhou, only 200,000 recruits left, and the only hope to resist the wind army is Changsun Yuanhong and the 300,000 army under his command.
Ming Xiaotian lost so badly and so quickly, in fact, it was quite beyond the expectations of Changsun Yuanhong, he knew that Ming Xiaotian was exaggerated, he had the name of a general but no talent of a supreme general, but he underestimated the wind army too much, he thought that even if Ming Xiaotian was not defeated by the wind army, but relying on the more than 400,000 people under his command, it should be no problem to resist the wind army for a month, and then he led the army to arrive, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to be transferred away, and Ming Xiaotian buried himself and hundreds of thousands of troops.
He only hated for his own selfishness but caused so many soldiers to die, the eldest grandson Yuanhong regretted it, he was also full of guilt towards Yan Chu, and silently swore in his heart that he would avenge the blood hatred for those Ningguo soldiers who died in battle.
The central army of Ningguo, which reinforced Hedong, was completely lost, and the Feng army had no worries, divided its troops into two routes, and captured the two cities of Nanhai and Jianxing in one fell swoop.
At this point, Ningguo no longer had any roots in Hedong, and the entire Hedong region had basically fallen into the hands of Fengguo.
Just when the Feng army was busy taking over the towns in Hedong, the 300,000 Ningyue coalition army led by Changsun Yuanhong arrived in Liangzhou.
Although Yan Chu secretly hated Changsun Yuanhong, he still gave him a high courtesy, and personally led the Chinese martial arts to meet him ten miles out of the city.
On the night that the eldest grandson Yuanhong entered the capital, he was summoned by Yan Chu alone.
However, without waiting for the eldest grandson Yuanhong to enter the palace, Zhang Zhihong, the right minister of Ning, took the first step.
Wei Zheng was transferred back to the capital, resulting in a crushing defeat of the army reinforcing Hedong, and Zhang Zhihong could not escape the blame, after all, he was the first to propose to remove Wei Zheng from his position.
Zhang Zhihong was afraid that Yan Chu would hate himself for this matter, so he deliberately entered the palace to see Yan Chu to clear up the relationship.
In front of Yan Chu, he blamed his original opposition to Wei Zheng as the commander on Changsun Yuanhong, saying that he was instigated by Changsun Yuanhong, and Changsun Yuanhong's purpose was to be afraid that Wei's conscription power would be too heavy and would pose a threat to him after returning to the dynasty, so he used Wei Zheng's refusal to go to war as an excuse to cut his military power.
Yan Chu is not a fool, how can he be deceived by his words, the eldest grandson Yuanhong and Zhang Zhihong have never had any contact, how could they suddenly encourage him to impeach Wei Zheng in private This is simply nonsense.
However, through Zhang Zhihong's framing and blame, Yan Chu did have to reconsider a question, what was the purpose of the eldest grandson Yuanhong's opposition to Wei Zheng as the marshal With the mind of the eldest grandson Yuanhong, it is impossible not to see that Wei Zheng's ability is far better than Ming Xiaotian, but why does he still agree to let Ming Xiaotian replace Wei Zheng Could it be that as Zhang Zhihong said, the eldest grandson Yuanhong was jealous of the military power in Wei Zheng's hands, and was afraid that Wei Zheng would become an obstacle for him to monopolize the military power of the whole country One of the most important things between a monarch and a minister is that both sides must trust each other.
Tang Yin is willing to let Ziying carry the black pot for himself, that is because he believes that Ziying can understand his hardships, and Ziying is willing to accept it, which is a sign of complete trust in Tang Yin.
And now there is a lack of trust between Yan Chu and Changsun Yuanhong, coupled with the defeat of Hedong, Yan Chu is even more suspicious of Changsun Yuanhong.
In Yan Chu's view, forming a party for personal gain is a big trouble for the country, if the eldest grandson Yuanhong really deliberately framed Wei Zheng for the sake of military power, then this person can be punished.
Soon after sending Zhang Zhihong away, the eldest grandson Yuanhong arrived.
In the study room of the palace, Yan Chu first invited the eldest grandson Yuanhong to sit down, and then chatted with him for a few words to cut to the chase, he asked: "General Yuanhong is almost certain to defeat the Feng army and recover the lost territory in Hedong on this expedition."
The eldest grandson Yuanhong didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "There will be an eighty percent chance of winning at the end of this battle."
"Oh" Yan Chuchu was startled, but he was still silent on the surface, he smiled slightly, and said: "General Wei led 500,000 people, and those who were beaten by the wind army did not dare to go out of the camp to face the battle, and General Ming led more than 400,000 people, and the whole army was wiped out by the wind army, and now General Yuanhong only has 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, how can there be such a high chance of victory" The eldest grandson Yuanhong smiled proudly, and arched his hand and said: "King, although there are not many troops in the hands of the last general, they are all brave and good at fighting can be a top ten elite soldiers, 200,000 western troops, both long-range and close combat, 100,000 Yue cavalry, but also can cross the battlefield, no one can match, not to mention that the wind army is only 300,000, even if there are millions, the last general is confident to kill him and leave no piece of armor."
It was an exaggeration for him to say this, but the main purpose was to make Yan Chu feel at ease and not worry about the war in Hedong, which was also a sign of his guilt.
However, hearing these words in Yan Chu's ears completely changed, the latter couldn't help but secretly take a breath, the eldest grandson Yuanhong only commanded 300,000 soldiers and horses and was confident to break through a million wind army, if he suddenly turned the spearhead one day and dealt with himself, wouldn't he be in danger Who else in the Ning Kingdom could stop him I thought so in my heart, but Yan Chu's face didn't show the slightest expression.
He nodded with a smile and exclaimed: "General Yuanhong is worthy of being the first fierce general of my Daning, and this time I will ask General Yuanhong to recover the lost territory in Hedong."
The eldest grandson Yuanhong hurriedly stood up, bowed to Yan Chushen, and said: "It is the duty of the last general to kill the last general to drive away thieves from the country."
With such an arrogant surname as Changsun Yuanhong, being able to be so polite to himself surprised Yan Chu very much, but it also made Yan Chu even more suspicious of whether Changsun Yuanhong had other intentions.
He pondered for a moment and said: "General Yuanhong fights the enemy alone, this king is still a little relieved, how about this king arrange another deputy general for the general?"
Eldest Sun Yuanhong frowned secretly, he has been commanding the Western Army for so long, do you still need a deputy He asked: "I don't know who the king wants to send" Yan Chu said word by word: "Wei Zheng." ” "This" Hearing the name Wei Zheng at this time, the eldest grandson Yuanhong couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and he hated and apologized for it, he groaned and didn't answer immediately.
"Why" Yan Chu asked with a casual smile: "General Yuanhong thinks that General Wei is incompetent and unworthy of being the general's lieutenant."
When he said this, it was tantamount to not giving the eldest grandson Yuanhong room to maneuver, and the latter's heart trembled, and he hurriedly intervened to give a salute, saying: "No, no, no, the last general will never have this intention, and obey the king's orders."
"En" Seeing that Changsun Yuanhong agreed, Yan Chu nodded with satisfaction, and put Wei Zheng'an's Western Army by Changsun Yuanhong's side, he could feel more or less relieved.
This separate meeting between the two monarchs and ministers did not eliminate the estrangement between the two, but further deepened the suspicion.
Yan Chu didn't trust Changsun Yuanhong, and felt that he had the intention of monopolizing full power, but now he had to reuse him, so he could only send Wei Zheng into the Western Army to disperse Changsun Yuanhong's military power, but Changsun Yuanhong and Wei Zheng had completely different surnames and combat styles, one was radical and warlike, the other was calm and conservative, so there was no problem for them to lead the army alone, but if they were forced together, there would be differences, and there would be endless hidden dangers, not to mention that there were unspeakable grievances between the two of them.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong only stayed in the capital Liangzhou for two days, and then led the army to the east and went straight to the Hedong region, accompanied by Wei Zheng, who was appointed by Yan Chu.
Although the 300,000 Ningyue coalition army was not as large and unprecedented as the last 500,000 people, because it was led by Changsun Yuanhong, the first fierce general of Ningguo, the morale was like a macro, and the places they passed were all welcomed by the local people, which also showed the status of Changsun Yuanhong in the minds of the Ning people.
The 300,000 army came straight to the east of the river, and naturally it could not hide the eyes and ears of the eye of the sky and the earth's net, and the scouts of the wind army sent the news back to the east of the river as soon as possible.
After receiving the report, Tang Yin just smiled leisurely and said casually: "Eldest Sun Yuanhong is still here after all, I am also thinking about what is so powerful about this eldest grandson Yuanhong, who is known as the first fierce general of Ning Kingdom" Don't look at what he said lightly, but his nerves have begun to tense.
The invincible skill Tang Yin has long been taught, but even the invincible Lingwu is under the eldest grandson Yuanhong, which shows the domineering of this person.
Now that Shangguan Yuanrang has not healed from his serious injuries, it is still unknown whether anyone on his side can defeat Changsun Yuanhong, and what makes Tang Yin even more headache is Nanhai and Jianxing Second City.
These two cities are located in the westernmost part of the east of the river, and they are naturally the first targets of the enemy's attack after coming, and now their own army is stationed in two cities, and the troops are scattered, if the Ning army attacks one of them, whether it can be defended is a problem.
If you want to be safe, you can only give up a city and concentrate your forces to hold on to one place, but Tang Yin is not willing to surrender the cities that have been fought down with great difficulty to the enemy.
Xiao Muqing and other generals had similar ideas to Tang Yin, and everyone thought that it was not impossible to fight if they held on to the second city.

There are only three days' journey between Nanhai and Jianxing, and as long as the city attacked by the Ning army can hold on for three days, their own reinforcements can rush over from another city, and then the two armies will attack the attacking Ning army inside and outside, and there is a great hope of victory.
Tang Yin felt that what the generals under his command said was reasonable, and immediately adopted it, and did not move the two cities, but only strengthened the city defense of the two cities, and prepared to fight a tough battle with the Ning army.
However, to Tang Yin's great surprise, the 300,000 army commanded by Changsun Yuanhong did not attack the South China Sea, nor did it attack Jianxing
