Chapter 560: The Imperial Commander

On the third day of killing Yan Zheng, the military newspaper that lost Jialan City was sent back to Luoxing City. At that time, Long Shouyi was having a meal, and when he heard that he lost another city, he lost his appetite. He ordered the banquet to be removed, and Xuan Zhang Jun and other advisers and generals came to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

"Now Bai Wei has led his troops to retreat to Baiping. Please tell me what you have any ideas." Long Shouyi said to the ministers in the hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, Bai Wei is guilty of the holy grace and loses Jialan City. He should immediately order someone to arrest him and escort him back to Luoxing for punishment."

"Go down." Long Shouyi said to the minister who was talking angrily. He knew that this minister was a good friend of Yan Zheng. Now Yan Zheng is dead. When something happened to capture Yan Zheng, Bai Wei, and Long Shouyi was not surprised. It was just that he was wrong when he was picking him. Now the most important thing is to deal with Feng Yang's attack. Capture Bai Wei, do you go and fight with Feng Yang's army?

"Ah?" The minister who spoke unexpectedly received Long Shouyi's answer and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"Come on, drag it down." Long Shouyi saw that the minister was standing there and did not move, and he couldn't help but dislike him even more. He immediately ordered the warrior in front of the palace to enter the palace and drag the dazed minister out of the hall. It was not until this time that the minister woke up and was about to struggle when he saw someone standing in the minister's swaying his head slightly at him, and immediately woke up and obediently dragged the warrior in front of the palace out of the hall.

The annoying person left, and Long Shouyi continued to discuss countermeasures with Zhang Jun and others. After discussion, Long Shouyi and others agreed that Zhang Jun would serve as the military supervisor, leading the soldiers to reinforce Bai Ping, and monitor Bai Wei at the same time to prevent Bai Wei from making an unjust act.

Time was tight, and after discussing the matter, the ministers were sent by Long Shouyi to prepare separately. Zou You was responsible for logistics work. As soon as he left the palace, someone stopped him. When Zou You saw that it was the minister who had been dragged out of the hall by the warrior in front of Long Shouyi's mission.

"Sir Niu, somehow blocked my way?" Zou Youke asked angrily.

"It's nothing else, I just want to thank Lord Zou for your reminder." Niu Jin bowed to Zou You and said.

"It's just something, Lord Niu doesn't have to take it seriously. I still have something to do, so I won't be with you."

"In this way, I won't disturb Lord Zou's work." Seeing that Zou You didn't want to have a deep conversation with him, Niu Jin refused to force him and gave up his way to let Zou You leave.

This scene was exactly what Zhang Jun, who had just left the palace, saw. Zhang Jun is a capable person, but he has a fatal disease. He likes to be jealous of the virtuous and capable, hoping to focus the monarch's attention on him. For this reason, he excluded many people and offended those people. So much so that he had a very poor reputation in the court, and few people were willing to get close to him. No one else, even Bai Wei, who he personally introduced to Long Shouyi, could find a way to exclude him, let alone other people.

This time, he was going to leave Long Shouyi's side. Zhang Jun was very worried that he would let others take the opportunity to take over the position after he left. The one who was most likely to become his strong rival was Zou You. This man was modest and polite, knew how to be humble, and helped others from time to time. It was not a little bit more popular among ministers than him. His family knew his own affairs, and in order not to lose his favor, Zhang Jun racked his brains to find a way, but he had not come up with a clue yet. But when he saw Zou You and Niu Jin outside the palace, his mind flashed and he suddenly came up with an idea.

Of course, this idea was not to frame Zou You to form a party camp, but to prepare to incite Long Shouyi to lead the army, and then leave Zou You, who poses the greatest threat to him, in Luoxing Shoucheng. He did it when he thought of it, and Zhang Jun turned around and persuaded Long Shouyi to agree with his suggestions.

Looking at Zhang Jun who was returning, Long Shouyi couldn't help but wonder, wasn't the matter already agreed? Could it be that this guy brought me some bad news?

After hearing Zhang Jun’s intention, Long Shouyi was a little moved, but was also a little worried, “If I leave, what if someone wants to raid in Luoxing City…”

"Don't worry, your Majesty, Lord Zou You is outstanding in ability and is the best candidate to guard Luo Xing. As long as he is here, Luo Xing will be foolproof." Zhang Jun patted his chest and promised Long Shouyi. Those who didn't understand thought that Zou You was Zhang Jun's best friend, otherwise Zhang Jun wouldn't have recommended Zou You to Long Shouyi so hard.

"Zou You..." Long Shouyi recited Zou You's name twice. Indeed, before Zhang Jun took advantage of him, Zou You was indeed the think tank he relied most. Now, he really owed him a little. With the intention of compensating Zou You, Long Shouyi agreed to Zhang Jun's suggestion that after he personally left Luoxing, Zou You would serve as the temporary guard of Luoxing City and stayed in the rear.

On the day the order was issued, many ministers immediately opposed it, and some ministers even directly criticized Zhang Jun for being jealous of his talents and capable, and suppressed his colleagues wantonly. In order not to lose his holy family, he actually caused His Majesty and was in danger. Faced with the criticism of those ministers, Zhang Jun handled it very cunningly, and saw him standing there with a grievance, silently allowing others to accuse him.

As a result, in the end, Long Shouyi couldn't stand it anymore. In his opinion, the ministers who scolded Zhang Jun were actually scolding him, but they were just using Zhang Jun to point out the slander and scolding him. He immediately made a decision and took the idea of ​​the emperor personally. Seeing that the emperor took the initiative to take the responsibility, the opposing ministers had no idea. Screaming the emperor? That was purely seeking death. Don't look at Long Shouyi's current appearance as a polite and rude man, and he didn't blink when he killed someone.

Seeing that all the ministers had surrendered, Long Shouyi immediately ordered that he would lead the army in person, and then announced all the aftermath matters discussed by He Zhangjun. As the designated temporary city guard Zou You, Zou You did not express any dissatisfaction at all, and happily accepted Long Shouyi's appointment. His attitude made Long Shouyi feel a little guilty about him, so he added another one and presented his sword to Zou You, allowing him to take action first and then report it.

After two busy days, Long Shouyi brought soldiers from all over the country to form a reinforcement of 200,000 people to Baiping. Compared with the 200,000 people before, these 200,000 people were obviously worse than the 200,000 people on the south bank. Long Shouyi couldn't help but hate Yan Zheng who had already died.

Standing on the head of Luoxing City, Zou You watched Long Shouyi's team go further and further away. When he could no longer see it, Zou You turned around and instructed the personal soldiers beside him, "Go back to the house." Looking at Zou You who turned around and left and the personal soldiers who were following him, holding a sword, the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but secretly stick out their tongues. The sword was the sword of His Majesty the Emperor. It was said that it was given to Zou You by His Majesty himself, and it had the power to take action first and then report. In other words, Zou You is the largest in Luoxing City now.

After returning to the mansion and leaving behind, Zou You returned to the study and found a letter from the secret wall of the desk. This was a letter from Fengyangcheng. His wife Liu Yiyi wrote to her. She was very worthy of her. Not only did she be filial to her father, but she also gave birth to a fat child for herself, which gave the Zou family a chance. Calculate the time, her child should be almost two years old now, but her father has never seen her with her child. Whenever she thinks of this, Zou You feels sad.

He was also unable to help himself. Since Zhang Jun joined Long Shouyi, Long Shouyi has been embroiled and trusted only Zhang Jun. People like them who followed him earlier have gradually been alienated by him. Zou You originally wanted to leave here and reunite with his family last year. But he never expected that a colleague who left first was killed by Man Mén shortly after leaving. Although Long Shouyi ordered people to investigate the murderer, in Zou You's eyes, the murderer was instructed by Long Shouyi. Isn't this a big joke? From then on, Zou You began to become taciturn and no longer expressed any opinions on Long Shouyi's decision. Until not long ago, the old housekeeper in his family came to see him and brought him a letter.

At the top of Baiping City, Bai Wei looked at Feng Yangjun who was following like a maggot, and couldn't help but curse Feng Yangjun in his heart. He was so arrogant that he could not get along with him. He would follow him wherever he went. But he could only curse in his heart. If someone heard this, he would think that Bai Wei was afraid of Feng Yangjun outside the city. Although there were people in Feng Yangjun outside the city who could indeed fight him alone, as long as he didn't go out, they couldn't get through.

Baiping City was built by Long Shouyi completely imitated Weiyuan City. It was a city wall of thirty meters high. Even Feng Yangjun's siege cars could not reach that height. There was also a circle of ten meters wide moat outside the city, and suspension bridges were placed on the river for people to walk. Apart from this, there was no other way to enter the city unless Feng Yangjun's men had wings and flew into the city. Bai Wei was very confident about Baiping's defense. As long as he did not leave the city, Feng Yangjun would definitely have no choice but to do anything to him.

The fact is just as Bai Wei expected. After attacking twice and losing more than 4,000 people, Feng Yang's army temporarily stopped attacking and began to send people to challenge, intending to lure Bai Wei out of Baiping City. But Bai Wei, who was determined to be a turtle, did not move at all. He would be so angry that his ancestors could be scolded. Anyway, he just didn't chew on it, and he wanted to go there anyway.

Faced with Bai Wei's silence, Feng Yangjun really lost his mind for a moment. Even Pang Yi, who had been admired by Xiong Feihu, shook his head helplessly this time, and Bai Wei had no choice but to admit defeat. What should I do? He sent someone to scold Bai Wei's ancestors in front of the defenders of Bai Ping City, but Bai Wei didn't even fart. Apart from reducing Bai Wei's prestige in the city and making the shouting soldiers hoarse, he had no other effect.

The war ended in a stalemate. Feng Yang's army stayed at Baiping City and planned to continue to consume with Bai Wei. Relying on the abundant material reserves, Bai Wei did not care about the siege and loved to surround him. This situation continued until Long Shouyi led reinforcements to Bai Ping and took over the power of Commander-in-Chief Bai Wei.

Just as usual, Feng Yangjun sent a team of soldiers with loud voices to the city of Baiping to curse the formation. This time, the main general of Baiping was still scolding Baiping. The soldiers in charge of cursing the formation did not know that Baiping's main general had been replaced and turned into Long Shouyi. It happened that Long Shouren was personally inspecting the defense work at the top of the city. When he heard the scolding under the city, his heart was full of fire and he immediately ordered to fight and kill all the Feng Yangjuns who dared to scold him. Bai Wei, who was no longer the main general, did not object. He would go to fight anyway, but he would go to fight. He would not go to fight himself, and he would die if he wanted to die.

The two places in the south bank of Cangjiang River and Jialan City were the places that Long Shouyi focused on at the beginning, so the soldiers and generals of these two places could be considered sharp. If Long Shouyi had not used the wrong personnel, Feng Yang's army would not have taken these two places in such a short time. With the loss of these two places, a large number of fierce soldiers and generals also fell into Feng Yang's hands. Although Long Shouyi's army now has more troops than Feng Yang's army, in terms of real combat power, it is still inferior to Feng Yang's army.

The city of Baiping City was opened, and the suspension bridge that had not been put down since Feng Yang's army arrived was also lowered, and it hit the ground heavily. A pair of heavily armed knights rushed out and rushed towards Feng Yang's soldiers who were cursing under the city with great momentum.

In order to prevent Baiping from sending troops to fight, every soldier in the swearing formation was a cavalry. Seeing the heavy armored knights rushed straight towards him, the confrontation in charge of the swearing war immediately whistled, and drove the horses and took the more than 500 heavy armored knights to circle.

Fortunately, over time, the weaknesses of the heavy armored knights will be suddenly revealed. The heavy armored knight is suitable for tough battles, but not for chasing battles. The weight is there, and no matter how hard it is, it cannot escape the light cavalry.

Looking at the heavy armored knights who were gradually losing their formation, Long Shouyi, who was standing on the wall, couldn't help but curse: "A bunch of waste." However, in order to avoid the losses of the heavy armored knights, Long Shouyi immediately ordered the heavy armored knights to return to the city, and at the same time, he prepared the archers on the top of the city to prevent Feng Yang's army from attacking.

Feng Yang's army, who was about to attack, saw the heavy armored knight suddenly stop chasing and began to retreat. When they saw the archers on the top of the city were in charge of guarding, they had to give up this rare opportunity.

The next day, Xiong Feihu was discussing with the generals how to attract the defenders in Baiping City, so he heard from the soldiers that Baiping sent an envoy to come.

Xiong Feihu couldn't help but wonder what Bai Wei wanted to do. But when he saw the envoy, Xiong Feihu was happy after hearing his purpose. It turned out that Bai Ping's main general had replaced him, so that would be easy. First, he drove out the envoy sent by Long Shouyi to persuade the surrender, and then Xiong Feihu ordered people to find the generals and told the generals that this was good news for Feng Yangjun. The generals were immediately happy when they heard this.

Who is Long Shouyi? He is the one who proclaimed the emperor. He can lose anything, but he can't be embarrassed. Especially in front of his subordinates. In the future, as long as they send some people to curse outside Baiping City for a while, even if he knows that he can't fight, he will fight, otherwise he will lose his prestige and lose all the people's hearts. No one will follow a monarch who is scolded and doesn't even let go of a fart.

In fact, Long Shouyi did not disappoint Feng Yangjun's generals. The day after he sent the envoy to persuade the surrender to return, he sent an envoy to issue a letter of war. However, his thoughts were exactly the same as Feng Yangjun's intentions. Xiong Feihu immediately did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Long Shouyi's request for a decisive battle outside Baiping City three days later.

Three days later, it was a sunny day. Xiong Feihu and others finished their clothes and led their troops to the outside of Baiping City. Immediately after the Baiping City City opened, a team of soldiers walked out of Baiping. At the end, a large sedan chair carried by sixteen people slowly walked out of the city, and Long Shouyi sat upright in an imperial robe.

"Wow, the show is not so good, even the chariot has come out." Xiong Feihu said with disdain.

"Oh, it turns out that this is the chariot. I wonder if I feel comfortable sitting on it?" Xiong Xuanba, who was beside him, muttered in a low voice. Xiong Feihu was about to say Xiong Xuanba, when Xiong Tianwei, who was on the other side of Xiong Xuanba, moved his mouth, as if he was saying something.

"Tianwei, what are you talking about?" Xiong Feihu asked.

"Ah, nothing, just when I saw that chariot, I thought of what the lord often said." Xiong Tianwei replied casually.

"What's the matter?"

"Don't pretend to be a scattered by lightning. I have never understood this sentence before, but looking at the chariot and the person sitting on the chariot, I understand the meaning of this sentence."

When the generals heard this, they burst into laughter, and the soldiers beside them also heard this. When Long Shouyi's chariot was carried to the front of the formation, most of Feng Yang's soldiers already knew what Xiong Tianwei had just said. When he looked at Long Shouyi's chariot, he couldn't help but feel that Xiong Tianwei, no, was summarized by the Lord.

Long Shouyi, who was laughed inexplicably, couldn't help but feel a little angry. He originally wanted to shock the countryside buns with the emperor's posture. However, at present, the effect seems not very ideal, and he seems to have been made fun of by these buns.

Holding his anger, Long Shouyi signaled Zhang Jun who was beside him to speak. Zhang Jun, who had been preparing for the night, immediately hugged the gods and stepped forward. He wanted to use his three-inch tongue to educate the ignorant people who were disrespectful to the king. Let everyone know that literati can also kill people with their tongues.

But today is destined to be a disaster for Zhang Jun. He must not have read the calendar when he went out. Everything is not suitable today. He must be careful in his words and actions to eliminate dangers.

Before Zhang Jun could finish his words, Pang Yi had already urged him to step forward, pointing his gun at Zhang Jun and shouting: "Shut up, this is a battlefield, not a place for you to sell your mouth. Go back quickly, otherwise I won't blame me for being ruthless under the gun."

"This general is so bad."

Without waiting for Zhang Jun to say more, Xiong Tianwei in Feng Yang's army suddenly raised his gun and shouted, "Get back!" Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Feng Yang's soldiers shouted in unison: "Get back back!"
Chapter completed!
