Chapter 135: Information gap is troublesome
Yunmeng passed away in his sleep.
It did not affect the next move of the Lantian army.
In this regard, the Lantian Army has a strict and meticulous process.
Deputy General Yun Shu took over the military power immediately, and the Chief of the Military Justice Department immediately assumed the position of deputy general.
As soon as Yun Shu took over the military power, he issued an attack order to the entire army.
Therefore, with Yunmeng's death, the Tiannan Army's offensive not only did not weaken, but in fact was strengthened.
This is where the Lantian Army is different from all the previous Ming Dynasty armies. Whether the monarch or the general dies, it is not when the Lantian Army is weak, it is precisely when the Lantian Army is the most aggressive, cruel, and most Danger, the most unreasonable time.
With great grief, Jin Hu led his subordinates to the junction of Jiaozhi and Champa State, and began to implement the plan to force Zhang Bingzhong to enter Siam.
A team of fast horses quickly crossed the entire Jiaozhi and arrived at Zhennan Pass. In less than a stick of incense, the wolf smoke at Zhennan Pass rose into the sky, and three streaks of wolf smoke rose up in a row... foreshadowing. The general of Lantian army died.
The wolf smoke moved all the way north...
The next day, three wolf smoke rose from the top of Yushan City, and the bronze bell of Yushan Academy also rang at the same time.
As long as the regiment practitioners heard the sound of the bronze bell of Yushan Academy, they immediately put on their armor, shouldered their long knives, raised their own spears and gathered at the residence of the chief minister.
The students of Yushan Academy also left the school one after another, went straight to the weapons depot, and began to receive weapons according to their classes.
The bells also rang in the Phoenix Mountain Camp. The new troops who were practicing immediately put on the weapons that could only be used in combat. They lined up one by one and sat down cross-legged in the school field, holding their long knives horizontally. On his knees, he silently waited for the call from the Ministry of War.
When the bell just rang, Yun Zhao had already arrived at the big study room. Within a moment of burning incense, his big study room was already filled with fully armed people.
"Three pillars of smoke, a general died in the battle. The smoke came from Zhennanguan. Either Yunmeng or Hong Chengchou died!"
As soon as Han Lingshan entered the big study, he The whole story has been half figured out. < /p>
Qian Shaoshao came later and once again provided more precise information.
Yun Zhao's face was as dark as water, he looked at the civil and military officials in front of him and whispered: "Who can tell me why Uncle Meng died in Jiaozhi when our army had an absolute advantage?
If the 80,000-strong Tiannan Army cannot even guarantee the safety of its own commander, there will be no need for this army to exist."
Zhang Guozhu stood up amid the instigation of everyone. , cupping his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, I think, General Yunmeng has little chance for his enemies to take advantage of him. Even Jiaozhi's powerful factions, Zheng Weiyong and Ruan Tiancheng, understand that once Uncle Meng is hurt, Jiaozhi will be burned to ashes by His Majesty's anger.
Therefore, I believe that the most likely possibility is that Uncle Meng’s life span has expired.
Yun Zhao roared in a low voice: "Uncle Meng made it very clear in his last memorial. He can still mount a horse to kill the enemy and eats meat every meal. How can he have a long life?" Count such ridiculous things? ”
Yun Zhao’s voice was slightly hoarse, and everyone could hear that he was trying his best to suppress his anger. At this moment, if there is no suitable reason to explain, the army that has been assembled in Guanzhong will It is very likely that they will march to Jiaozhi in the next moment.
As a revenge army, Lantian has no habit of leaving anyone alive. As long as this army enters Jiaozhi, maybe even the Tiannan Army will be the target of their investigation. < /p>
Qian Shaoshao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in the autumn of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Uncle Meng's leg disease broke out in Yunnan. The pain was unbearable when the leg disease broke out. Guanzhong sent famous doctors there. It took half a year to finally let him go. Uncle Meng can walk normally, but at this time, Uncle Meng's legs can no longer be overworked.
In November of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Uncle Meng's leg disease broke out again. This time, Uncle Meng's leg joints had swollen. Military doctors used roasting to remove the disease and used glass tubes to penetrate the skin. , insert it directly into the joint, take two cups of pus, and Uncle Meng will not be able to walk on the ground until May of the next year.
Afterwards, Uncle Meng was no longer able to perform well.
In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Uncle Meng knew that he had a serious leg disease and thought that he could not take on the important task of pacifying the southwest. In September, he wrote to His Majesty, hoping that the DPRK could send ministers to Yunnan to replace him and complete His Majesty's mission. The great cause entrusted to us for a long time to come.
By the seventeenth year, Uncle Meng was basically unable to walk. When marching and fighting, he needed to be carried by his personal guards before he could go to the battlefield. Even so, Uncle Meng, after pacifying the southwest, did not stop at the town. Nanguan, but led the army into the more humid Jiaozhi.
In view of the above intelligence support, I agree with the Prime Minister’s words that Uncle Meng’s life is up. "
Yun Zhao sat on the chair blankly, looked at Qian Shaoshao and said: "Why don't you report in the morning? "
Qian Shaoshao shook his head and said: "Uncle Meng doesn't allow it. ”
Yun Zhao wanted to yell at Mr. Qian for a while, but suddenly he remembered Uncle Meng’s voice and smile, and two tears fell from the corners of his eyes. Asking Uncle Meng to leave the army he had built, he might Die faster.
He has been a happy robber since he was seven years old. Until now, he has been living happily as a robber and has never thought about changing. This identity.
Even though Yun has completed his magnificent transformation from bandit to officer, he still thinks of himself as a pure bandit.
He likes to live a life of robbing families and homes. In the life of playing games with officers and soldiers, he even paranoidly believed that anything that was not stolen did not really belong to him.
Even after the Yun clan had ruled Guanzhong, he categorically refused to live a peaceful and boring life, and was willing to take some old Yun clan thieves to Yunnan to reopen a place where they could become bandits.
It can be said that the life of a gangster is the life he hopes to live. The way he hopes to die most is to be caught by officers and soldiers, and then executed by Ling Chi in the downtown area, so that he can sing a song. He was cut to pieces by a thousand cuts in the eyes of everyone's admiration.
He hated dying peacefully... now his goal was achieved.
Since he died of illness, there is no need to summon the army again in Guanzhong. Yun Zhao waved his hands in pain. There is no need to carry out any revenge plan at this time. Even if Yun Zhaogui is the emperor, he will not be able to express his gratitude to Yun Zhaogui. Death's revenge.
At this time, Yun Zhao could not do anything. He could only wait with the faintest glimmer of hope. In his heart, he hoped that the person who died was Hong Chengchou.
Yun Zhao returned home, Feng Ying had already dressed up, and Qian Duoduo also rarely wore a military uniform. Even Yun Niang did not wear her favorite skirt today, but changed into a suit. Hunting clothing.
"What happened?"
Seeing her son's pale face, Yun Niang raised her voice and asked her son.
Yun Zhao raised his head and glanced at his mother and said, "There is an 80% chance that Uncle Meng has passed away."
There was a sound of "Dang Cang", the prop Yun Niang used to keep calm, A beautiful tea bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
"How is it possible? Your uncle Meng has always been strong."
Yun Zhao patted his forehead and said: "It's because of the child's negligence. A man who has lived in dry places for most of his life." Suddenly arriving in humid Yunnan... it was naturally a bit inappropriate.
When Uncle Meng first went to Yunnan, the conditions there were not good, and he spent the whole day crawling around in the humid woods. , so the root of the disease came down."
"So, Uncle Meng died of illness?"
Qian Duoduo was in a bad mood when he saw his mother-in-law and her husband. She has never been talkative, so she was the only one who had the courage to ask what was on her mind.
"Why did you die of illness? Your Uncle Meng worked hard to death for my Yun family!"
Yunniang's body was shaking violently. As soon as Qian Duoduo asked her question, she rushed Holding the money, Duoduo roared and scolded.
Qian Duoduo hurriedly knelt aside. Seeing her mother-in-law's eyes rolling around looking for something, as if she wanted to hit her, she knelt down behind her husband.
"The accurate news has not come yet, and it should be ten days at the earliest. Mother, do you think we should have a mourning shed at home?"
Yun Niang's expression She was pale, slapped her hand on the table and shouted: "Your Uncle Meng is still strong. It must be Hong Chengchou who died, not your Uncle Meng!"
She said this, but raised her hand He took out the golden hairpin from his head, and also took off his earrings and some accessories on his wrists.
Throwing these things on the ground, he hurried back to the back hall.After a short while, urgent chanting sounded from the back hall.
"Inform Uncle Tiger, Uncle Leopard, Uncle Jiao, and Uncle Xiao, and order Yunjuan to go to Jiaozhi to pick up Uncle Meng."
Yun Zhao gave instructions to his secretary Pei Zhong, and they He lazily returned to his study.
The grief had almost dissipated when he was in the big study. At this time, Yun Zhao just felt that his whole body was limp and had no strength, so he just wanted to stay alone in the study for a while.
Feng Ying accompanied Yun Zhao back to the study, leaving only Qian Duoduo kneeling on the ground. Seeing that there was no one around, Qian Duoduo quickly stood up and ran into Yun Zhao's room. study.
"Hong Chengchou was still at Zhennanguan and did not enter Jiaozhi. Uncle Meng took Yun Shu and Mu Tiantao into Jiaozhi. The people in Jiaozhi have been strong since ancient times, and they are very friendly to us during the Ming Dynasty. The hatred is deep.
Among all the Jisi countries in the Ming Dynasty, the Jiaozhi people are the most changeable. Uncle Meng is a stubborn person. He has always believed that the reason why others disobey us is entirely our fault. If you don't do things ruthlessly enough, your actions are not ruthless enough.
If you do things ruthlessly, people will cherish their lives, and there is only one life for people. In order to survive, those who do not obey us will sooner or later obey us.
I was very worried that what Uncle Meng did would trigger a civil uprising in Jiaozhi. I had been warning Uncle Meng in my documents to calm down his murderous temper and take it easy. Unexpectedly, I still ruined Uncle Meng’s life in Jiaozhi.”
When Qian Duoduo came in, he happened to hear Yun Zhao and Feng Ying chatting.
Looking around, he saw no outsiders, so he boldly said: "Who is leading the Tiannan Army now? Yun Shu? He does not have the ability to lead a large army."
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and said: "It should be Mu Tiantao. Uncle Meng has never liked Hong Chengchou. He is following my will by assigning troops to Hong Chengchou. If I didn't issue an order, Uncle Meng would rather hand over the military power to Yun Shu. Mu Tiantao will not leave it to Hong Chengchou."
