I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Yunzhou City.

One of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures of the Great New Dynasty, relying on the Taihang Mountains and overlooking the North China Plain, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Since the "Five Husbands" in the previous dynasty, in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty that lasted for more than a hundred years, all emperors who wanted to make a difference had to take the recovery of the Sixteen Youyun Provinces as their mission.

However, due to the special geographical location and important strategic position of Youyun Sixteen States.

In the past hundred years, only the founding emperor of the Great New Dynasty, the Great Ancestor Zhao Mang, achieved the feat of regaining the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, and finally aspired to conquer the Central Plains with a partial army in the Hetao area.

King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty raised his troops in Longcheng to appease the enemy. If the southern army wanted to march straight into the North China Plain, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures would be the first to bear the brunt.

Among them, Yunzhou City was the bridgehead and support point for Longcheng's southern army.

At noon.

On the tower of Qingyuan Gate at the north gate of Yunzhou City, there was a roar of wind and cranes, and all the vegetation was covered with soldiers.

Wu Qingyun, the commander of the Yunhui Army, was wearing black armor and a short sword tied around his waist. He climbed onto the tower and looked down at the north.

Wherever he looked, he saw a large area of ​​darkness filled with thieves, soldiers and horses, heading straight for Yunzhou City with murderous intent.

Wu Qingyun's complexion was sallow and his eye sockets were sunken. He was originally extremely ugly, but now he looked even more ferocious.

Since the army was marching yesterday, I learned that Chen Huaian's Longcheng rebels had captured three cities in three days, and their troops were pointing directly at the back of Yunzhou City.

The former arrogant, domineering and arrogant commander-in-chief, General Huwei, seemed to have aged ten years overnight, with a lot of gray hair growing on his temples.

After all calculations, Wu Qingyun did not even consider Chen Huaian, but he dared to use the strength of one city, thirty-six counties, and wages to march south to fight against the entire New Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the rebels under Chen Huaian were so fast. In just a few days, their troops were directed towards Yunzhou City.

Furthermore, Wu Qingyun had completely lost contact with Shuobei Yun's army at this time. If the 200,000 Yun's army under his command could not be merged into one place, it would be equivalent to cutting off an arm before the war.

Moreover, after the Yunhui Army in Shuobei lost the unified command of the general Wu Qingyun who planned the decisive victory over Qianli, and was led by the former army general Liang Erhu who was simple-minded and had not very developed limbs, could he be able to defeat the cunning, cunning and cunning army? The great Turkic Khan Timur is still unknown.

At this point, the development of the situation has become increasingly out of Wu Qingyun's control.

Until now, Wu Qingyun racked his brains and still couldn't figure it out:

He was clearly just going to Dragon City on orders to seize the 8,000-strong military power from a down-and-out prince who had killed his father. How could such a simple matter suddenly lead to such an out-of-control situation? Woolen cloth?

Not only did he get the life of his eldest son, Wu Fengxian, but he also got the rights and future that Wu Qingyun had earned through hard work and humiliation for forty years.

In the future, it may cost his life and the lives of hundreds of people in the General Military Mansion.

Which part of this went wrong?

Wu Qingyun broke his head and racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

However, Wu Qingyun is very clear about one thing.

If he could have come back, even if he was killed, he would not have come to the muddy waters of Dragon City, let alone provoke Chen Huaian, who was a waste in the eyes of outsiders, but was actually the most ruthless person in the New Dynasty who pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger.

However, there are thousands of medicines in the world, but there is no regret medicine!

"Who is guarding the city?"

Suddenly, a wild howl sounded like thunder outside the city, bringing the mind of Wu Qingyun, the unconscious commander of the Yunhui Army, back to reality.

He looked for the reputation and saw a man wearing bright light armor and a sword on his waist, riding a horse and dragging outside Yunzhou City.

This man has a majestic appearance, is tall, has long arms, and has piercing eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is a warrior.

Wu Qingyun searched his memory, but could not identify the people under the city and the brave and skilled generals in the Polu army in his memory.

Maybe he is the general who Chen Polu has quietly trained for Chen Huaian in the army over the years!

Wu Qingyun thought so in his heart, but his ferocious and ugly face regained its former domineering look and shouted loudly at the outside of the city:

"General Wu Qingyun, the commander-in-chief of the Yunhui Army, the northwest commander of the Great New Dynasty, and the great general Huwei, is here. If anyone calls the door outside the city, please tell me your name!"

Hearing this, Chang Yuchun completely ignored the danger of sudden cold arrows from the enemy on the city wall, and continued to move forward single-handedly, pacing back and forth along the moat of Yunzhou City with the suspension bridge hanging high and the city gates closed.

While observing the city defense situation of Yunzhou City, he responded domineeringly: "Deputy Marshal of Dragon City Soldiers and Horses, General Chang Yuchun of the Southern Conquest!"

"The criminal Wu Qingyun, do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?"

Chang Yuchun snorted coldly and continued: "This general advises you to surrender quickly, open the city gate to welcome the Dragon City soldiers and horses marching south, and save your body as appropriate!"

"Arrogant!"

On top of the city tower, Wu Qingyun was furious and said angrily: "The unknown rats actually uttered arrogant words. Do they really think that my Yunzhou city wall is made of clay? Do you think that the swords, guns, swords and halberds of my hundred thousand Yunhui army are made of clay?"

"If you want my general's life, come and get it on the battlefield. It depends on whether you have the ability!"

As he spoke, Wu Qingyun waved his hand and ordered sternly: "Send this general's order and prepare the entire army for war!"

brush!

For a moment, on the crenellations of the city wall at the Qingyuan Gate of the north gate where Wu Qingyun was, countless Yunhui army archers were firing their bows and arrows. All their sharp arrows that had been tempered with poison were pointed at the outside of the city, and they were riding their horses by the moat. Wandering Chang Yuchun.

Just waiting for the general to give the order, thousands of arrows were fired in an instant, piercing the heart of the enemy general who was speaking arrogantly, and shooting him into a hedgehog.

Hahaha!

Outside the city, facing the threat of arrows from countless Yunhui army archers, Chang Yuchun showed no fear.

Instead, he laughed loudly as if no one was watching, and continued to shout to the tower: "Wu Qingyun, don't be nervous, I will not attack the city today!"

"This general is here to tell you today that Shuobei City fell into the hands of the Turks last night. The 100,000 troops you left in Shuobei are dead and scattered. Don't expect any reinforcements to break the siege of Yunzhou! "

"Wu Qingyun, the important town of Shuobei Border Pass has fallen, and all 100,000 troops have been wiped out. Do you think you have committed a heinous crime?"

"Think carefully about my general's proposal just now. Surrender quickly and open the city gates to welcome the Dragon City army marching south. This general will protect your body!"

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the person who defeated Yun's army in three cities in the past three days is also my general!"

"Hahaha!"

After saying that, Chang Yuchun laughed and rode away, leaving only Wu Qingyun with a pale complexion gnashing his teeth on the tower, messy in the wind.

Then, he snatched the Lingbao Bow from the soldiers guarding the city beside him, drew the bow and arrow and shot at Chang Yuchun who was riding away, but it was in vain.

The arrow didn't even make it across the moat before it was blown down into the river by a gust of wind.

Wu Qingyun is no longer the high-spirited and powerful general who shot a halberd at the gate.

Chang Yuchun, who rode his horse back to Longcheng to join the southern army, immediately held a siege meeting in the Chinese army's tent and drew the Yunzhou city defense map he had discovered from memory. And make targeted siege deployment.

...

Shuobei territory, Panlong Pass.

On the vast northwestern loess, billowing yellow smoke covering the sky and flying dust splashed in all directions. The smoke was also mixed with the cold light of the saber and the neighing of the war horse.

A group of Xuanjia light cavalry galloped forward, followed by another group of Turkic cavalry several times the size of the Xuanjia light cavalry, chasing after them.

The distance between the two sides keeps getting closer and closer.

"General, we can no longer retreat to avoid the battle. Ahead is the natural danger of Panlong Pass. Once the Turkic cavalry breaks through Panlong Pass, the next step will be a flat plain, and there will be no danger to defend!"
