Just two days after Wei Zheng was transferred back to Liangzhou, the news of the total annihilation of more than 400000 Ning troops led by Ming Xiaotian came back to Ningdu. The news not only caused an uproar in the court of Ningguo, but also shocked the whole country and threatened people's self-confidence.

Zhan Wushuang and Zhan invincible invaded Fengguo, and the 400000 Ning army was completely destroyed. Coupled with the death of 500000 people in Hedong, the number of strong men in Ningguo decreased sharply, which is difficult to recover in 10 or even 20 years.

Hearing this, Yan Chu was shocked, indignant and angry. Wei Zheng was in Hedong. Although he could not win the wind army, he could at least draw with him and avoid the tragic situation of the total army. However, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said that Wei Zheng was conservative and did not dare to fight the wind army, which led to the bad war in Hedong. Even company commander sun Yuanhong said that any general could replace Wei Zheng. What was the result, When Ming Xiaotian became the commander-in-chief of the whole army, more than 400000 soldiers of Ning army were burned by the wind army.

At this time, Yan Chu hated the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and even more hated Chang sun Yuanhong. However, he did not dare to express his attitude. Now Liangzhou has no elite division, and there are only 200000 recruits left. The only hope to resist the wind army is Chang sun Yuanhong and his 300000 troops.

Ming Xiaotian lost so miserably and so quickly, which was actually quite expected by Chang sun Yuanhong. He knew that Ming Xiaotian had said that in fact, he had the name of a general, but he was no better than a general. However, he underestimated the Feng army. He thought that Ming Xiaotian would be defeated by the Feng army, but with more than 400000 people under his command, it should be no problem to resist the Feng army for a month or so. Then he led a large army to arrive, Unexpectedly, just after Wei Zhengcai was transferred, Ming Xiaotian buried himself and hundreds of thousands of troops.

Sun Yuanhong regretted that he only hated for himself, but led to the death of so many soldiers. He was also full of guilt for Yan Chu, and silently vowed in his heart that he would avenge the blood and hatred of those soldiers of Ningguo who died in the war.

The central army of Ningguo, which reinforced Hedong, lost all its strength. Without any worries, the Fengjun divided its troops in two ways and occupied the South China Sea and Jianxing city in one fell swoop. So far, Ningguo has no foundation in Hedong, and the whole Hedong region has basically fallen into the hands of Fengguo.

While the Fengjun army was busy receiving the towns in Hedong, the 300000 ningyue allied army led by Chang sun Yuanhong arrived in Liangzhou. Although Yan Chu secretly hated Chang sun Yuanhong, he still gave him a high courtesy and personally led the civil and military forces of the court to meet him ten miles out of the city.

On the night when Chang sun Yuanhong entered the capital, he was summoned by Yan Chu alone.

But before sun Yuanhong entered the palace, Ning Youxiang Zhang Zhihong came first. Wei Zheng was transferred back to the capital, which led to the disastrous defeat of the reinforcements in Hedong. Zhang Zhihong can't escape the blame. After all, he was the first to propose to remove Wei Zheng from his post. Zhang Zhihong is deeply afraid that Yan Chu will hate himself for this matter, so he specially enters the palace to see Yan Chu to get rid of the relationship. In front of Yan Chu, he blamed Chang sun Yuanhong for his opposition to Wei Zheng's being handsome, saying that he was encouraged by Chang sun Yuanhong, and Chang sun Yuanhong's purpose was to fear that Wei Zheng's military power was too heavy and would pose a threat to himself after returning to the DPRK, so he stole his military power on the grounds that Wei Zheng did not dare to go to war.

Yan Chu is not a fool. How can he be deceived by his words? Chang sun Yuanhong and Zhang Zhihong have never had contact. How can they suddenly encourage him to impeach Wei Zheng in private? This is nonsense. However, through Zhang Zhihong's planting and framing, Yan Chu did have to reconsider a question. What was the purpose of Chang sun Yuanhong's opposition to Wei Zheng as a handsome man?

With sun Yuanhong's mind, it is impossible to see that Wei Zheng's ability is much better than that of Ming Xiaotian, but why does he agree to let Ming Xiaotian replace Wei Zheng? As Zhang Zhihong said, is Chang sun Yuanhong afraid of Wei Zheng's military power and that Wei Zheng will become an obstacle for him to monopolize the military power of the whole country?

Between monarchs and ministers, one thing is very important, that is, both sides must trust each other. Tang Yin is willing to let Ziying take the blame for himself. That's because he believes that Ziying can understand his difficulties and Ziying is willing to accept it. That's a sign of complete trust in Tang Yin. Now, there is a lack of trust between Yan Chu and Chang sun Yuanhong. Coupled with the defeat of Hedong, Yan Chu is suspicious of Chang sun Yuanhong.

In Yan Chu's opinion, forming a party for personal gain is a great danger to the country. If Chang sun Yuanhong deliberately framed Wei Zheng for the sake of military power, he can be punished.

Soon after Zhang Zhihong was sent away, sun Yuanhong arrived. In the study of the Royal Palace, Yan Chu first asked his eldest sun Yuanhong to sit down, and then chatted with him for a few words to get to the point. He asked, "how many percent of general Yuanhong is sure to defeat the wind army and recover the lost land in Hedong this eastern expedition?"

Chang sun Yuanhong didn't even think about it. He directly replied, "there will be an 80% chance of victory at the end of this war!"

"Oh?" Yan Chu was surprised, but he remained calm on the surface. He smiled and said, "general Wei led 500000 people and was beaten by the wind army. General Ming led more than 400000 people and was defeated by the wind army. Now general Yuanhong has only 300000 troops in his hands. How can he have such a high chance of winning?"

With a proud smile, Chang sun Yuanhong arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, although there are not many troops in the hands of the last general, they are all brave and good at fighting. They can have a top ten elite general, 200000 Western troops, both long-range attack and close combat, and 100000 Vietnamese cavalry. They can cross the battlefield and are unmatched. Let alone the wind army is only 300000. Even if there are millions, the last general is confident to kill all the wind thieves!"

He is exaggerating. The main purpose is to make Yan Chu feel at ease and not worry about the war in Hedong. This is also a sign of shame in his heart.

However, Yan Chu's words completely changed in his ears. The latter couldn't help taking a breath. Chang sun Yuanhong was only in command of 300000 troops and horses and was confident of breaking a million wind troops. If he suddenly turned the spearhead against himself one day, wouldn't his own be in danger? Who else in Ningguo can stop him?

I think so, but Yan Chu's face doesn't show the slightest hint. He nodded with a smile and exclaimed, "general Yuanhong is worthy of being the first general of Daning. Please ask general Yuanhong to recover the lost land in Hedong this time!"

The elder sun Yuanhong hurriedly stood up, saluted Yan Chu deeply, and said, "the king killed the last general! It is the duty of the last general to drive away thieves for the country!"

Yan Chu was surprised to be so polite to himself with a proud surname like Chang sun Yuanhong, but it also made Yan Chu wonder if Chang sun Yuanhong had ulterior motives. He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm still a little worried about general Yuanhong's resistance to the enemy alone. How about arranging another deputy general for the general?"

Long sun Yuanhong frowned. He had been commanding the Western army for so long. Do you still need a deputy? He asked suspiciously, "I don't know who the king wants to send?"

Yan Chu said word by word, "Wei Zheng."

"This..." at this time, hearing the name of Wei Zheng, Chang sun Yuanhong couldn't tell what it was like. He hated and apologized for it. He gave a deep thought and didn't answer immediately.

"What?" Yan Chuxing smiled casually and asked, "general Yuanhong thinks general Wei is incompetent and doesn't deserve to be a general's deputy general?"

When he said this, he didn't give Chang sun Yuanhong room to maneuver. The latter trembled and hurriedly stepped in to salute, saying, "no, no, no! The last general has no intention of doing so. I'll obey the king's order!"

"Yes!" Seeing that sun Yuanhong agreed, Yan Chu nodded with satisfaction and put Wei Zhengan * * * Western army next to sun Yuanhong. He could feel more or less at ease.

This separate meeting between the monarch and the Minister not only did not eliminate the gap between the two, but also deepened the suspicion. Yan Chu didn't trust Chang sun Yuanhong and thought he meant to monopolize the power of the Communist Party, but now he had to reuse him, so he had to send Wei Zheng into the Western army to disperse Chang sun Yuanhong's military power. However, Chang sun Yuanhong and Wei Zheng had completely different surnames and fighting styles. One was radical and fond of war, the other was calm and conservative, and there was no problem for them to lead the army alone, But if they stick together, there will be differences, and there are endless hidden dangers. Moreover, there are unspeakable gratitude and resentments between them.

Chang sun Yuanhong stayed in Liangzhou, the capital, for only two days. Then he unified the army to the East and went straight to Hedong area. Naturally, Wei Zheng, appointed by Yan Chu, accompanied him.

Although the 300000 ningyue allied army is not as large as the 500000 troops last time, it is under the command of changsun Yuanhong, the first general of Ningguo, with great morale. Everywhere it passes, it is welcomed by the local people. From this, we can also see the position of changsun Yuanhong in the eyes of Ningren people.

The 300000 troops came straight to the east of the river. Naturally, they could not hide from the eyes and ears of the sky and the earth network. The wind army spies sent the news back to the east of the river at the first time.

After receiving the report, Tang Yin just smiled leisurely and said as if nothing had happened: "Chang sun Yuanhong has come after all. I'm just thinking about what's the power of Chang sun Yuanhong, who is known as the first general of Ningguo!" Although his words are relaxed, his nerves have begun to tighten.

Tang Yin has learned the skill of Zhan invincible for a long time, but Lian Zhan invincible's Lingwu is under Chang sun Yuanhong, which shows his hegemony. Now shangguanyuan has not recovered from his serious injury. It is unknown whether anyone on his side can defeat Chang sun Yuanhong. What makes Tang Yin headache is the South China Sea and Jianxing two cities.

These two cities are located in the westernmost part of the east of the river. Naturally, they are the first targets to bear the brunt of the attack after the enemy arrives. Now our own army is stationed in two cities with scattered forces. If Ning army attacks one of them, it is a question whether it can defend it. If you want to be safe, you can only give up one city and concentrate your forces to stick to one place. However, Tang Yin is not willing to return the hard fought cities to the enemy.

Xiao MuQing and other generals have the same idea as Tang Yin. Everyone believes that sticking to the two cities is not impossible. There are only three days between the South China Sea and Jianxing. As long as the city attacked by the Ning army can hold on for three days, its own reinforcements can come from another city. At that time, the Ning army attacked by the two armies inside and outside will have a great hope of winning.

Tang Yin felt that what his generals said was reasonable and immediately adopted it. He divided his troops into two cities and did not move. He just strengthened the urban defense of the two cities and prepared for a tough battle with Ning army. However, to Tang Yin's great surprise, the 300000 army led by Chang sun Yuanhong neither attacked the South China Sea nor Jianxing.
