Chapter 470: Civil Unrest at the Border
...At the border, the soldiers from the east were unstoppable.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, Zhang Yan and Yue Chengxuan began to attack the seventh city of Northern Yan.
They wanted to conquer Northern Yan's cities one by one.
There was constant smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield. Inside the main tent of the camp, Ling Yunxiao was discussing the war with military advisor Yun Yi.
To deal with Northern Yan, they were waiting for the moment to completely crush Northern Yan, but their war was not limited to Northern Yan.
Yun Yi thought: "The young general should have arrived in the capital of Xining by now, but I don't know what actions will be taken in Xining."
Ling Yunxiao: "King Xining is afraid that we will dominate the world, so he naturally wants to do everything he can to collude with the surrounding countries. Now that Jiang Yue has gone, it will be a good opportunity for him to realize the strength of our army, so they dare not act rashly."
"What if they want to lead troops to help Dajin?" Yun Yi asked while thinking.
As for General Lu from Xining, he certainly was not a threat before Xining ran out of gunpowder.
But now if he makes the slightest move, his entire army will be wiped out. He should be thankful that he has remained silent.
"What are you afraid of?" Ling Yunxiao tapped the table with his hands. The relaxed look on his face showed his winning mentality at the moment.
"Isn't there a fourth prince?"
...As for Zhao Chongzheng, he didn't know until he arrived, he found out that in addition to his own 80,000 Jin troops, the Jin Dynasty had also gathered 50,000 troops from the surrounding areas just to get a piece of the pie.
These countries seem to be gathered together, but in fact, there are constant disputes among them. They are just beginning to reunite because of Donglin’s strength, but they are still not united and are just a group of scattered sand.
months ago.
Since General Chen arrived at this border, he seemed to be busy with the fighting, but in fact he was just wandering around, as if he was not doing his job and was just doing small things.
Because of the wars in the surrounding areas, General Huyan was only responsible for guarding the camp and all the fighting was his.
The reason was that he strictly guarded the gunpowder and did not allow General Huyan to have any contact with it.
It’s just that General Chen’s battle was a bit frustrating.
Because he carried explosives with him, the barbarian countries such as the Great Jin Dynasty exerted their previous potential, fighting and running away, and did not engage in direct battle with him.
Because Jiang Yue had reminded him to be careful of the generals at the border, he always sent his trusted men to guard the gunpowder.
However, in General Chen's opinion, there was nothing wrong with General Huyan's every move and every word.
It was because of the matter of guarding the gunpowder that Deputy General Sun beside General Huyan started to play tricks on him, always trying to send him away to steal the gunpowder.
Even, ask him for it blatantly.
General Chen was an impatient man with a bad temper, and he had a falling out with Lieutenant General Sun because of this.
This incident made General Huyan feel dissatisfied.
His deputy general knew that he had always worked for the country and the people.
As soon as General Chen arrived, he was wary of him and was always thinking of targeting him.
Before Chen Yuan arrived, General Huyan was already overwhelmed by the wars surrounding him and did not want to deal with any more issues.
Later, because of Chen Yuan's actions, he allowed his deputy general and Chen Yuan to confront each other.
Anyone who can become a general is not a weak person at heart.
For this reason, Chen Yuan not only had to deal with the surrounding barbarians, but also had to deal with Deputy General Sun. As a result, within half a month, he was completely defeated.
It was tiring. He had fought in so many wars, but he never knew civil unrest could be so torturous.
One day, before General Chen was about to go on another expedition, Vice General Sun stopped him.
"General Chen, leading troops to fight is the unshirkable duty of our border soldiers. Even if you want to attack, you can't go too far."
"Our General Huyan is the first-rank general guarding this place, and you are just a general guarding the city!"
"Don't forget, our General Huyan is superior to you in every aspect!"
What Chen Yuan hated most in his life was the arrogant look of people like Lieutenant General Sun.
"That's right, General Huyan is superior to me, but he didn't say anything. Who do you think you are? Who gave you the courage to speak to this general like that?"
After hearing this, Deputy General Sun's eyes flashed fiercely, and he was about to put his spear on Chen Yuan's neck.
"Are you here at the border to help General Huyan, or are you here to seek a sense of existence?"
"We are here to attack the enemy!" Chen Yuan was not afraid and fought back with his spear.
The two started fighting after a disagreement, and ended up both being injured and saying goodbye to the fight.
But because Chen Yuan failed to go out on time, they were forced to lose their military supplies.
For this reason, Chen Yuan completely fell out with General Huyan.
Afterwards, General Huyan ordered to speed up the preparation of military food and punished Chen Yuan and Deputy General Sun with twenty military sticks each.
Furthermore, he ordered his soldiers to intensify the resistance.
General Huyan wanted to use gunpowder to defeat the enemy. After all, he had witnessed its power in the first battle when Chen Yuan came to this border, and he was deeply shocked at that time.
But Chen Yuan's confidants, Captain Chu Sheng and Captain Zheng Shu, never gave him this opportunity.
When they pushed him too hard, they threatened him with gunpowder. What could he do?
Chen Yuan, who had just been beaten with twenty sticks, cursed Hu Yanzhi for being indiscriminate.
God knows how excited he was when he saw the Fourth Prince Zhao Chongzheng arrived at the border after being beaten.
"Fourth Prince, if you don't come, I will be bullied to death by General Huyan."
Hu Yanzhi felt even more wronged than Chen Yuan.
"Your Highness, this Chen Yuan is very petty and has no demeanor of a great general. He is not worthy of being a general!"
Zhao Chongzheng looked at this and then that.
"General Huyan, you are clearly trying to exclude me!"
His words of reproach made General Huyan look stunned. One was targeting him, and two were targeting him too?
Who did he provoke?
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"General Huyan, have you become senile and confused before you reach the age of 50? Can't you understand the literal meaning?" Zhao Chongzheng was suspicious of Huyan Zhi, so how could he be nice to him?
For the few times he did so, he put on airs as a prince.
"From now on, the matters of marching and fighting should be handed over to General Chen."
As soon as he arrived, he stripped General Huyan of his military power.
General Huyan staggered back two steps. Deputy General Sun behind him was supported by two soldiers because of his hip injury.
"Your Highness, General Huyan was personally appointed as a first-rank general by the late Emperor."
The implication is that the Fourth Prince is not qualified.
However, he was met with disdainful looks from Zhao Chongzheng.
He ordered two of Chen Yuan's lieutenants, Chu Sheng and Zheng Shu,
"Until your general recovers from his injury, you two will temporarily take over the command of the troops!"
As for the task of guarding the explosives, it naturally fell on him.
General Huyan was inexplicably sidelined and left in anger.
Lieutenant General Sun felt uneasy about this, but he still tried every possible way to obtain the explosives.
But how could Zhao Chongzheng let him get his wish?
Until one day, Zhao Chongzheng put a letter of unity between the Great Jin and the surrounding barbarians in the open.
