Chapter 83 The News Spreads
Yu Wentuo from Bianjing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news, and only dared to tell Shen Fei'er the news when he learned that Shen Bai was not dead.
In his inner words, it is the fault of this 'dog Chen Bai' that his wife is making trouble and his son is crying.
However, it wiped out 5 people in the Khitan South Campus, which almost feels like a dream.
And his first reaction was "Zhuge Liang set fire to the Tengjia army".
Now for Yu Wentuo, no matter what the real identity of the "dog Chen Bai" he said is, he will not prepare to attack him. There is no other reason. No matter how strong this person is, at least he is very lucky .
Compared to those civil servants or generals in the imperial court, Yu Wentuo has never been a figure of the establishment faction, but belongs to the kind of monarch who is both righteous and evil, and pays equal attention to civil and military.
Back then when he seized the throne, the support of the important ministers and the support of Concubine Xian were true, but he was the one who led the troops to kill the imperial city. His role was very similar to today's Shen Bai, and there was even a commonality.
So not only was he not surprised that Shen Bai lied to death and set fire to the White Wolf Army, if it was him, he would do the same, and even worse, he wanted to send that Yelu Anqi who didn't know if it was charcoal to Yelu Anqi, A good slap in the face of the Khitan army, which has always paid attention to warrior courage and regards honor as life.
Thinking of this, Yu Wentuo became interested, summoned a special copywriter, and instructed to write an article "Sneak attack before Yelu'an's battle, Khitan warrior lost face", and put it in the "Main News Monthly".
In the early court, Yu Wentuo was in a good mood, ignoring the ignorance and worry of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Enjoy the solitary observation.
The entire burned valley was in a mess, Jia Shiqing took a look: "It's a pity that there are so many war horses, alas!"
The ones below were not burnt to death, and they were already half dead, without a piece of good meat on their bodies.
After a rough inspection, they found the corpses of three generals with their sabers. Yelu Anke's corpses were exposed by the flying knives on his body. This guy's flying knives are very special, like a shuttle.And his scimitar also has Khitan characters on it, and asked someone to translate the words on it to read, "Imperially bestowed on the Yelu family's Anke adult sword!"
"Hmph!" Jia Shiqing looked at the burned corpse, "No matter how cruel and treacherous a person is, he only has one life."
Bought a coffin from nearby, put the corpse away, and Shen Bai wrote on a note: "Take it back to the capital for display!"
Shu Yu nodded, and asked Shen Bai: "Should I send the imperial doctor to look at the throat?"
Shen Bai pointed to his head with his finger and looked at Zihuan.
"He said he would think about it and talk about it later." Zihuan Shen explained, which made everyone admire, no wonder the two of them could sleep in the same bed.
The victorious army was divided into three groups, and Shu Yu led the troops back to Bianjing to return to their orders.
Shen Bai only took [-] riders back to the Protectorate's Mansion, and the rest of the army was handed over to Jia Shiqing to set up defenses in Yunzhou, and killed Yelu Anqi's younger brother, good guy, who knows how he will take revenge.
"I will prepare the army when I go back, and we will go forward together." Shen Bai wrote a note and handed it to Jia Shiqing.
"Pay attention to rest. If something is wrong, please invite the imperial doctor or the master who gave you medicine to come to Liaodong." Jia Shiqing also said with concern.
Shen Bai nodded in response.
The time of this quick war is very short, but there are many changes and many aspects involved.
The first was the victory in Liaodong, which was amazing. Even though the Khitan did not believe that their [-] cavalry would be wiped out so easily, at least Yeluan was killed in battle. This is the matter of the Yelu family.
As for the interior of the Khitan, one is that Yelu Anqi's military strength has been attenuated.
The entire North Plains Protectorate Mansion has assembled 25 troops, and now the difference in strength is [-], which is a headache for Khitan whose population is less than ten times that of Song.
But at the moment Xiao Qi is happy. The first thing Shen Bai did when he returned to Liaodong was to write to him, "Yelu'an hurt me with poison darts, and [-] troops were wiped out in Yunzhou." A simple sentence, that's it After sending it away, Xiao Qi didn't know how legendary the incident was until he got Yu Wentuo's article on the battle situation.
Yu Wentuo couldn't wait to see the feedback. The article "Yelu'an's sneak attack before the battle, the Khitan warrior lost face" did not wait until the end of the month for the "Main News Monthly" to be published, but printed 30 copies urgently, just like a newspaper The account, together with the source bookstore, got [-] copies of business.
Shen Bai went back to the Duhu Mansion to rest for a day. He didn't receive any guests that day. Zihuan asked him to cook Laohuo ginseng soup for him, and Bohai Jurchen also sent wild detoxifying Ganoderma lucidum.
On the second day, his sore throat got better, so he interviewed Pu Zhong and Wan Yancheng to express his gratitude and at the same time to show that he was in good health.
At this time, in Bianjing, half of the 15 newspapers that had been brewing had been printed.When the newspaper came out the next day, the whole area around Bianjing was robbed, and Shen Bai also got a new nickname "Ghost Handsome".
"Wow, tortoise, handsome!" Shen Bai was just able to speak, and almost died of anger when he saw the newspaper.
"It's a handsome ghost, not a handsome turtle." Xu Jin looked at him and smiled relievedly.
"It's hard, listen!" Shen Bai said fiercely.
"Abai, you have a good throat, so don't talk much, third brother, you too, he's the one who is so angry with you?" Zihuan came in with tea brewed by tribute chrysanthemum and gave it to Chen Bai, so he couldn't avoid scolding Xu Jin.
"Master, Hang Qingqing is here, do you see?" Shunzi came to report, Xiao Yan was sent by him to the barracks to train the new army, and he was appointed as the guardian of Youzhou, which was equivalent to Ji Yuan's previous position.
When Shen Bai heard that it was Hang Qingqing who came, he waved his hand, and Zihuan helped him and said, "Please, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Yes!" Shunzi went out and asked Hang Qingqing to come in.
Hang Qingqing came in and saluted Shen Bai: "I know that Dushuai Shen is injured, but I have never dared to disturb you. I wonder if Dushuai Shen is better?"
Shen Bai nodded: "Many, thank you for the medicinal materials you sent earlier."
"It's needless to say that the commander-in-chief's throat is inconvenient. I'm here for shipbuilding." Hang Qingqing said knowingly.
Shen Bai nodded gratefully, and handed out two documents to her.
Xu Jin helped take it and gave it to Hang Qingqing, who opened it and smiled happily.
"The person who is connected to him will come in a few days." Zihuan said to Shen Bai.
Shen Bai picked up the pen and wrote down a list to Hang Qingqing.
"Bianjing Huangjia Ding five big sea ships." Xu Jin took it and helped read it out.
Hang Qingqing took it, Shen Bai winked, and Zihuan helped him take out a box from the desk, which contained 20 taels of silver notes.
"This is the money from the Huang family, more refunds and less compensation!" Zihuan said to Shen Bai.
"Thank you, Superintendent Shen, for your full support, but if you have an order, the Hang family will never refuse." Hang Qingqing knew the relationship between the Huang family in Bianjing and Shen Bai, and this matter would not have been possible without Shen Bai leading the wiring.
Liaodong is eagerly preparing for war, and even Beiyuan has received an imperial decree. The decree is very simple: "White Wolf Army with more than [-] troops will attack Liaodong, and troops will cross the Yellow River to harass it!"
Shen Bai supported him strategically, and Yang Jinghe had already known about it through his daughter. To be honest, he didn't believe that the situation in Liaodong was changing, and the offensive and defensive situation of the enemy and us reversed.It wasn't until his old friends Ji Yuan and Li Fazhen died in battle, and Yeluhao's head was sent to Bianjing, that he had a new understanding of Liaodong.
Especially after Shen Bai's victory, his actions in Yunzhou made him see how powerful Shen Bai is at a strategic height.
Perhaps Shen Bai had no intention of facing the attacks from the Khitan people Zhongdu and Shangjingjiananyuan at the same time, but he made a strategic move first to restrain Yelu Anqi's Khitan main force.
So when the news spread that Shen Bai had won three battles, and that he was fighting against the White Wolf Cavalry, the generals in the Northwest and Beiyuan took a copy of this tabloid and studied it carefully.
A tabloid for five cents a piece was still very popular after it was reprinted.
This is the earliest tabloid prototype in ancient times.
The construction of Jinkou Port was non-stop, and Shen Bai was well adjusted every day. When the wound was completely healed, there was no problem with speaking.
During this period, Yu Wentuo rewarded a lot of precious medicinal materials. When Shen Bai was injured, the precious medicinal materials collected from various places piled up half the room. The imperial doctor also came once to confirm that he was recovering well before returning to his life.
And what made Shen Bai feel the most weird was Yelu Anqi's movements, that is, he didn't show any performance, and he didn't care at all, as if what happened before had nothing to do with him.
This makes Liaodong and Beiyuan, which have been on the defensive all the time, feel very strange.
Xiao Qi's letter came seven days later, and he asked Shen Bai to meet in Hot Spring Valley that night.
Shen Bai thought about it for a while, and sent three hundred cavalry, two young generals from the Xiao family and Daniel to go together.
"You stay at the Duhu Mansion for me, and don't let anyone know my movements." Shen Bai confessed to Zihuan.
"What kind of risk are you going to take again? I won't allow you to go." Zihuan said displeased.
Shen Bai whispered a few words in his ear, in exchange for Zihuan gasped, and then nodded quickly.
"Something big is going to happen!" Xiao Qi's first words were this when he saw Shen Bai, almost stunned as Shen Bai fell into the water while undressing.
Sitting in the hot spring and looking at Xiao Qi: "What's wrong?"
"Your injury?" Xiao Qi looked at Shen Bai's neck.
"It's all right, but the brothers from Yelu's family are really shameless." Shen Bai scolded.
"You have done Yelu Anqi a great favor!" Xiao Qi sighed.
"What? He doesn't like this younger brother?" Shen Bai immediately reflected.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I want to get rid of it quickly. His younger brother still has a little strength in the South Courtyard, and he is highly valued because he married the emperor's niece. In addition, Yelu'an has been criticized for being unmarried and having no offspring. He is the successor of King Yeluanqin Nanyuan, or someone who is eyeing him."
Shen Bai nodded clearly: "Then why is he willing to sacrifice [-] cavalry in exchange for the death of this younger brother?"
"Most of them were originally assigned by Yelu'an, and many of them were former members of the Yelu family. This Yelu'an wants to kill two birds with one stone. Either you die or he dies. In short, you are now the Yelu royal family. If he is the object of his marriage, he will rest easy." Xiao Qi said fiercely.
"Hmph, I won't make it easy for him if you let me cross the river." Shen Bai smiled.
"However, you are now making the Khitan high-level scruples. You have fought too hard, and the Khitan people have a kind of fear of you. Killing Yeluhao and defeating the White Wolf Army, these two forces are not the Khitan's idle generation. "Xiao Qi praised.
"What did you just say that something big is going to happen?" Shen Bai is a little disgusted when people praise him now, how many famous generals just can't stand this, and finally lost to his own arrogance.
"I received an imperial decree from the Khitan Emperor and [-] reinforcements from my Xiao Department. It was written in the imperial decree that I should stick to the central capital, around the same time, before April." Xiao Qi observed Shen Bai's expression, and the two understood each other. Nod.
"Yelu Anqi is going to make a move!" Shen Bai said with certainty.
"But the month is unknown, this is a headache." Xiao Qi said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Even I don't know, you can see that this matter is full of evil."
"I also have a bad feeling, one of the four main battlefields must have a problem first!" Shen Bai said after analyzing the overall situation.
