Dominate Marvel

Chapter 43: Conquering the east and west to turn things around

Li Geng was good at making opinions. The prince did not blame him, but praised him highly.

Not long after the prince fainted, he regained consciousness after a cup of tea, dismissed the doctors and maids, and hurriedly called Li Geng to him: "Send the order, and hold a banquet in my name to summon the generals of the local armies on the north bank of the Yellow River. I just say there is something important." Let’s discuss. Let the brothers be prepared to seize power as soon as the commander-in-chief leaves the station!”

Hearing this, Li Geng let out a long breath, a flash of relief flashed in his eyes, but he bowed to the end and apologized: "Your Highness, please forgive Li Geng for making arrogant opinions."

The prince wondered: "How can you be guilty of being good at making opinions?"

Li Geng then revealed that he had made arrangements.

When the prince heard this, instead of being surprised, he laughed and got up from the couch and helped Li Geng up: "Well done! Well done!"

He sighed: "When things are urgent, you should obey the authority. If Xiao Wang doesn't wake up for three or two days, wouldn't it be a big deal? Not only are you not guilty, you have also made great achievements!"

Not to mention the comfort.

Li Geng said: "Don't worry, Your Highness. There will be no omissions in seizing military power according to the original plan. There will definitely be no mistakes made by Counselor Zhao and General Wang."

After a pause, he frowned slightly: "It's just that at Sun Chuanting's place, although my subordinates also wrote letters on behalf of His Highness, they were afraid that he would respect the false edict and not respect Your Highness. After all, the Cabinet Ministry has great righteousness. Once Sun Chuanting's troops withdraw, the Pocket Formation will It will be broken immediately. If the intruder escapes into the pass..."

"This is also what Xiao Wang is worried about."

The prince sighed secretly, but cheered up and said: "So seizing the military power on the north bank is the top priority. There are 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses on the north bank. Although they are not useful and cannot attack, they can be used for defense and siege. competent."

"What do you mean by His Highness?" Li Geng's eyes lit up: "We have seized the military power and divided the troops?"

"Of course."

The prince nodded: "For today's plan, this is the only way to go. After all, there is a natural moat of the Yellow River on the north bank, and fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses are a bit more. You can divide half of it, and you will lead it, and it will be replaced by Luoyang. Sun Chuanting's troops are in charge."

"This pocket array is still a pocket array!"

The prince nodded again: "Exactly. The war must be urgent, and changes in the court cannot delay it. Therefore, after seizing military power tonight, you must set off immediately."

At this point, the prince was slightly lost in thought: "I only hope General Zhao and General Wang can react quickly."

Li Geng nodded seriously: "General Zhao is using his troops very quickly, so there is no need for your Highness to worry. Presumably at this time, General Zhao's troops have left Bozhou and headed north to Kaifeng. As for Ding Qirui's troops, there are some troops deployed near Xiangyang and Nanyang. General Wang’s methods will definitely not go wrong.”

"I hope..."

...

Just as Li Geng guessed, Zhao Yu's troops had indeed broken camp and headed north towards Kaifeng.

Fengyang Prefecture borders Guide Prefecture, Guide Prefecture is close to Kaifeng Prefecture, and Bozhou is on the border between Fengyang and Guide Prefecture. Exiting Bozhou is Guide Prefecture, and just a few dozen miles further west is Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhao Yu's use of troops relies on his speed. Regardless of whether they were descending from the southeast of Liaoning, whether they were attacking Shouzhou and Huoqiu, attacking the rebels on the left, or offering sacrifices to thieves, they were all extremely swift. The army set out from Bozhou, divided into four groups, formed a fan shape, and rushed to Kaifeng City to outflank it.

Zhao Yu's central army has eighteen thousand soldiers and horses. This way, we pass Guide Mansion and go north via Chenzhou, Kaifeng. Our destination is Zhuxian Town in the southwest suburb of Kaifeng.

Zhuxian Town was where Yue Wumu’s last battle took place! Today, Zhao Yu will also pass through this place to attack the intruders and aid Kaifeng!

The remaining three routes all have 10,000 troops. The two east routes go all the way back to Suiyang, Defu, with the goal of Lanyang due east of Kaifeng. They also passed through Suiyang along the way, but headed towards Qixian County, heading straight for Chenliu in the southeast of Kaifeng.

On the west side, one and Zhao Yuzhong's army went to Chenzhou together, but passed through Fugou and Weishi, and detoured to Zhongmou west of Kaifeng.

In this way, except for the line of the Yellow River north of Kaifeng, Zhao Yu actually wanted to use an army to encircle the intruders from the outside!

Such a plan was the result of Zhao Yu's careful consideration.

The prince's pocket formation was good, but Zhao Yu knew that it would be difficult to advance and retreat at the same time because of the uneven quality of the armies of all parties. If you can't advance and retreat at the same time, if there is a slight omission in the tactics, there will be a flaw in the pocket array, and it will be difficult to destroy the intruder with one blow.

It's better to use your own strength to give the intruder a hard blow first. The sooner the better. It would be best to kill Li Zicheng in one battle and destroy his leader. As long as the army loses its leader and becomes scattered, and then all the government and army units swarm forward, it will be easy to exterminate the bandits.

The key is to be fast.

Let Li Chuang not react in time!

After all, the forces from all walks of life are quite powerful. Whether it is the tens of thousands of troops deployed by the prince on the north bank of the Yellow River, Sun Chuanting's army in Luoyang, or even Ding Qirui's army in Huguang, the intruders can all think of it. The prince's army is clearly on the north bank. Unless you are blind, you can't see it.

As for Sun Chuanting's troops who were chasing after him from Guanzhong, they were originally led by Yang Sichang. They had fought against Li Chuang before, so Li Chuang would not have known about it. The same goes for Ding Qirui's troops in Huguang. Zhang Xianzhong fell into the hands of Zuo Liangyu, who was controlled by Ding Qirui, and then joined Henan to join Li Chuang. Li Zicheng must have expected it.

Only Zhao Yu came from Liaodong and took a detour to the south. He defeated the Gezuo and Xian thieves in a few days. The speed was shocking. Even if Li Chuang was as capable as a famous general in ancient times, he probably wouldn't have expected Zhao Yu to be so quick and suddenly attack from the south! What's more, how can this traitor have the abilities of famous generals in ancient times?

Just to catch him off guard!

Otherwise, if Li Zicheng had noticed it slowly and contacted the officers and soldiers of the three divisions in the north, east and southwest, how could he not have figured out the imperial court's plan?

She must run away!

It was precisely because he did not know about Zhao Yu's troops, and precisely because he knew that there were still Ge Zuo in Fengyang and the Xian bandits heading east, that they had a way to retreat, that Li Chuang dared to deploy tens of thousands of troops on the prince's line on the north bank of the Yellow River. Under the observation situation, they dared to continue the siege of Kaifeng.

Zhao Yu didn't know the prince's plan, but he would never let the great opportunity he created slip away. He could not control the soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Yellow River, nor could he control Sun Chuanting and Ding Qirui. Even if he could control them, Zhao Yu had no hope.

He only has confidence in himself.

Not one day later, Zhao Yu led 18,000 troops and horses, crossed Guide Mansion and arrived in Chenzhou, Kaifeng.

It was at this time that a message came from the prince.

Zhao Yu ordered Yang He to arrange the army's repairs, while he opened the book and silk from the prince in the big tent.

After a quick glance, Zhao Yu's eyes gradually narrowed.

After reading it, I shook my hands and the book turned into dust.

"I thought that the prince's important affairs were my top priority, so I suppressed them for the time being, but I didn't expect to do such an evil thing." Zhao Yu murmured.

Zhao Yuqian went to Liaodong to mobilize troops, but was poisoned on the way. Zhao Yu knew who the mastermind behind this was. Originally, he followed his temper and returned to the capital overnight to kill the thieves one by one. But because of the prince, I was worried about the prince's important affairs, so I suppressed my nature and planned to deal with it after the prince took control of the power.

But he unexpectedly did such an unscrupulous thing!

Although the book is short and the words are concise, the changes that occurred in the court are clearly explained. Those scholars keep claiming to educate the world, and keep saying that people are treasonous and immoral, but in fact, these people are the real treasonous and treasonous thieves who bring trouble to the world!

How dare you assassinate the emperor!

It was so audacious that even Zhao Yu had to say one word of convincing!

Weiwei exhaled faintly: "It seems that my plan is correct. It's time to sweep the holes in the courtyard and capture the thieves first. Then, with the momentum of victory, the troops will return to the court, bring order to the chaos, and catch all the thieves in one fell swoop!"

"And...the sooner the better..."

...

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, at the end of autumn, the prince went out of the capital to supervise the army to suppress thieves.

With the help of general Zhao Yu, he mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses from Liaodong, detoured southward, and reached Fengyang in half a month. One day, he defeated Shouzhou, beheaded the thieves and guarded the area, and defeated his army. On the second day, Huoqiu was defeated, the leader of the thieves, He Yilong and Lin Chengcheng, were killed, and his army was completely destroyed. He single-handedly entered Taihang, killed the bandits led by He Jin and Liu Xiyao, and beheaded them.

Another day, he went north to Bozhou, killed the traitor Zhang Xianzhong, and wiped out all his bandits.

Zhao Yu divided his troops into four groups, and in three days, the army reached Lanyang, Chenliu, Zhuxian Town, and Zhongmou, and surrounded the Kaifeng intruders from outside. General Zhao Yu led hundreds of cavalry and stormed into the bandit camp, killing Li Chuang, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and other bandit leaders. His horses trampled the camp, causing chaos among the bandits!

The siege of Kaifeng is over.

That night, within a fifty-mile radius of Kaifeng, there were constant shouts of killing, like thunder. The prince's army on the north bank took a chance, broke camp and went south to fight with the bandits.

Another general, Wang Yisheng, subdued the Huguang soldiers and horses, led his troops northward, and arrived the next day.

Sun Chuanting's troops stood still.

General Zhao Yu killed Li Chuang and other bandit leaders and then disappeared without a trace.

But on the seventh day, great changes occurred in Beijing!

General Zhao Yu suddenly returned to the capital alone. Hundreds of the four ministers of the cabinet, the heads of the six ministries, and hundreds of civil and military officials died overnight!

There were also forbidden troops in the army, and tens of thousands of people were killed!

Later, Queen Zhou issued an edict to expose the conspiracy of the cabinet ministers to assassinate the emperor and turn the world upside down. She also ordered the general Zhao Yu to gather the soldiers and horses of the capital, suppress the riots, and take charge of the capital.

The generals were ruthless, and in the next three days, thousands of scholars, scholars, and scholars were massacred. Dozens of meritorious nobles were wiped out. There are millions of people in the capital, all of whom are in trembling fear.

In another month, the prince wiped out the bandits and returned to the court with his troops.

He ascended the throne as emperor on the third day, changed his name to Tianyuan, and became Emperor Tianyuan. Li Yuqing was made Prime Minister and Li Geng was his assistant. He made Wang Yisheng the general and commanded the country's troops. He also appointed six ministers and ministers to straighten out the government affairs in just three days.

Later, with General Wang Yisheng as the commanding general and the God of Death Zhao Yu as the vanguard, he led his troops to conquer the east and west, gathering troops from all over the country and suppressing rebellions in various places.

The prime minister Li Yuqing, the second assistant Li Geng, the household minister Zhao Gongming and others managed the people's livelihood and reduced taxes, and they followed the army's advance without missing a cent.

After five years, the world was at peace!

Emperor Tianyuan promoted Zhao Yu to the rank of General Shenwu, granted him the title of Duke, and gave him Dong Xiaowan and more than ten other women as his wives and concubines. Invite Qingyun Taoist to be the national teacher and make Taoism the national religion.

In the next five years, I will cultivate my health and recuperate.

In another five years, Emperor Tianyuan led 100,000 troops with Shenwu Gong Zhao Yu to completely defeat the Jiannu, break Korea, and destroy all the Mongolian tribes. Strike three thousand miles north, and reach the ice ocean of the North Sea.

Wang Yisheng, the great general of Yuanwu, led an army of 100,000 to destroy the South Vietnamese countries and reach the coast of the South China Sea.

In another five years, the world will be prosperous, and another 300,000 troops will be raised to conquer the Western Regions and Europe, spreading the glory of Han civilization to the world.

Tianyuan twenty-three years.

It has been more than three years since the Ming Dynasty conquered the world.

Liaodong, Ningyuan, Daxing Fort, Shenwu State Palace.

Since the war of conquering the world, Zhao Yu has resigned from all military posts. No matter how Emperor Tianyuan tries to persuade him to stay, he has decided to leave. Emperor Tianyuan had no choice but to order the Ministry of Industry to build the Duke's Palace in Daxingbao, Liaodong. He also gave him countless gold and silver, countless beauties and maids, and he was extremely generous.

Shenwu Gong Zhao Yu accepted all of them and never refused.

Three years have passed since this day.

In the Duke's mansion, Zhao Yu was furious.

His big palm-like hands slapped the table loudly, and he shouted angrily: "I have the ability to conquer the world and be almost like a god, but you still can't stand it!?"

Zhao Yu, who is over forty years old, looks like he is in his mid-twenties. Just under his knees, in the hall, was a young man with his head held high and stubborn.

There is a beautiful woman on the side who is trying to persuade him.

"Women, don't talk!"

Zhao Yu pushed away the beautiful woman's hand, pointed at the kneeling young man and shouted: "I have been fighting in the south and north for decades. I have fought thousands of battles and destroyed dozens of countries. I am so powerful that you can't look down on me? You What kind of technology is that?!"

"It is the trend of world development!"

The young man said stubbornly, without showing any sign of weakness: "Nowadays, science and technology is developing rapidly, and the same thing happens every year. Those things of yours are all old-fashioned, so what is their use? When I develop the atomic bomb, all my kung fu and magical powers will be empty!"

"Asshole!"

Zhao Yu said angrily: "Bullshit atomic bomb. Do you think I don't know? It's just principles of atomic fission and fusion. How profound are they?"

The young people in the hall couldn't help but be stunned: "Dad, you have an old-fashioned way of thinking, but you still know about atomic fission and fusion?"

"Get out!" Zhao Yu kicked his son over: "How profound do you think atomic fission and fusion are?"

Zhao Yu sneered, but then he stretched out his hand, and a vortex appeared in his palm: "Look!"

In the palm of his hand, there seemed to be a starry sky that was slowly rotating. If you look closely, you will see that there are three hundred and sixty-five two-points, and there are countless stars twinkling.

"If I were willing, I could smash all matter within a thousand meters, including molecules, atoms, and protons, into nothingness with the flip of my hand. You bullshit fission and fusion, I'll beat you up, you fusion What? You go and get a bullshit atomic bomb to blow me up?"

Zhao Hong was stunned.

Suddenly he shouted: "Dad, didn't you tell me earlier!?"

"Said earlier?!" Zhao Yu scolded: "You are a little puppy. You haven't learned to walk yet, and you still want to fly? What's the use of saying it?!"

Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but sigh to herself. She stopped her husband's hand and said, "You are not young. Don't be angry. It is not good for your health."

Zhao Yu waved his hand: "My body cannot be exploded by an atomic bomb."

He was so angry again: "Only this brat can piss me off to death!"

Sighing, Zhao Yu shook his head: "That's all, I've been this stubborn since I was a child, and there's nothing I can do about it. If you want to develop your technology, just go ahead and do it."

As he spoke, a booklet appeared in the palm of his hand: "This is what Zhu Cihao wants. I spent three years compiling kung fu that can be promoted by the whole people. It is quick to get started and the speed of progress is appropriate. Since you want to go Royal Academy, please bring this booklet to Zhu Cihao by the way. I am too lazy to go."

Putting the booklet on the table, waving his sleeves, Zhao Yu turned around and entered the inner hall.

Dong Xiaowan looked at his son and couldn't help but sigh: "You haven't listened to your father since you were a child. Mom knows that you don't want to live under your father's halo. It's just a pity that your father has inherited his legacy."

"Aren't there still older sisters and younger sisters?" Although Zhao Hong felt a little regretful, he was not depressed after the shock. He smiled and said, "Mom, I don't like it when I spend half my life fighting and killing."

Dong Xiaowan could only shake his head.
