Chapter 303: The Great Unification of Youzhou Battle (1)

The results of the battle in Yujun spread all over the world, and the reputation of Long Tingfei and others was also praised. Although the battle in Yujun is not a classic battle, it is indeed amazing that they can keep the city of Yujun intact.

"It's okay for the Xuan Army to do it, what do you think?" Xiao Ye said, looking at the battle report about the Battle of Yujun in his hand.

"Your Highness, all the troops have basically gathered together. General Gan and General Ming Yu have arrived in Xinghe Town. General Pei and Major General Pei have left Taiyuan to move towards us. However, General Teng has only sent General Xu Daozong to come over." Yang Tingyu, as Xiao Ye's deputy, answered carefully.

"General Teng probably won't come here. If Duanmuyang hadn't brought him to the prince's camp in Jinan, it would be considered a waste of his prime minister over the years." Xiao Ye said lightly, but Yang Tingyu could see that Xiao Ye was no longer a prince, and his desire to fight for the throne was already clear.

"What is Bai Xun and Tao Fei's attitude?" Seeing that Yang Tingyu didn't say anything, Xiao Ye knew his concerns. Yang Tingyu was his own person. Although Chu Cheng had always supported him without reservation, in Xiao Ye's heart, Yang Tingyu was the best candidate for prime minister, perhaps his own prime minister.

"Bai and Tao are still watching, they are waiting for Pei's response." Yang Tingyu was trembling when he replied.

Xiao Ye's lips raised slightly, then burst into laughter and said casually: "Whether, Pei has always been the most loyal fan of his father. If he has no attitude, he will get angry if he does too much, which is not conducive to our plan."

Teng Han's attitude was already very clear, to protect the prince, but Xiao Ye was not worried. It would be impossible to do anything with Gan Ming in Teng Han in the entire northern border. The first problem now is to solve the Donghai people in Youzhou and Liaodong. The second most important are the Changsun clan of Yingzhou, the Ji King Xiao Zhan of Luzhou and the Qingwu army. These three forces, plus the Pei clan is the key targets for the prince and him.

The Pei father and son and Gongsun Yu are one. They are stationed in the Sanjin area and are loyal to Xiao Yu. They are the troops that Xiao Yu can command completely. The Changsun family has been not very obedient since the death of Qingwu. However, they are still doing their best to the imperial decrees. King Ji Xiao Zhan is very thoughtful, and neither the prince nor Xiao Ye has any bias. Yu Qingyu of the Qingwu army may be the key to controlling Jianghuai and Jiangdong.

"Mr. Yang, there is basically no problem with the recovery of Youzhou. Just wait for all the troops to arrive. Don't stay here. Go to the Qingwu Army." Xiao Ye said with a slight raising his eyebrows.

Yang Tingyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you ever thought about fighting for King Ji? The Qingwu Army in Yu Qingyu's hands is not as prestige as Yu Qingwu was when he was ruled by Yu Qingwu."

A breeze blew, Xiao Ye shrugged his shoulders and turned around and said, "Uncle Ji will not express his opinion easily. If you want to persuade him, Uncle Zheng will speak."

"Well, King Zheng, that's not easy. However, since Yu Qingyu took over the Qingwu Army, he has been traveling abroad and is not very close to all the troops and the court. I am afraid I will return without success." Yang Tingyu still expressed his inner thoughts. As Xiao Ye's first think tank, he must be in place.

Xiao Ye patted Yang Tingyu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I just want you to see him. Just meet him. It's better to let the prince's people know. Maybe it's better for you to go to Jinan?"

Yang Tingyu was stunned, a little surprised, and then smiled and said, "Your Highness, I understand what to do. It is normal to go south to pass by Jinan. After all, Your Highness has been appointed as the commander of various military horses."

"Hahaha!"

On the third day after Yang Tingyu left, Xiao Ye ordered all armies to approach Youdu. Xiao Ye even brazenly pushed the command line to Dingzhou City, and convened the chief generals of the army in Dingzhou City in a high-profile manner to hold a pre-war meeting.

Gan Ming and Ming Yu's troops were temporarily led by Ming Yu. Gan Ming went to Dingzhou in a high profile, and Xiao Ye even greeted him thirty miles away, which was equivalent to directly informing everyone of Gan Ming's attitude, which made the prince and Duanmu Yang feel angry.

Pei was very low-key and only sent Bai Xun and Pei Yun to Dingzhou City. Pei Xin and Gongsun Yu stopped in Datong under the pretext of restraining their troops.

Only Xu Daozong came to Teng Han's army. Teng Han had originally refused Xiao Ye's summoning. He even cooperated with the troops to send troops to the army. However, Xiao Ye was not angry, and the position issue could be changed.

"Everyone, we have gathered a total of 700,000 troops and surrounded Youzhou. My father meant that Youzhou is a thousand-year-old ancient city. It is better not to destroy it. Do you think?" Xiao Ye's words showed humility.

"Your Highness, since Your Majesty has a clear order, you are the commander of the three armies, just take care of it, and all the armies will cooperate with each other." Gan Ming, as the long-time general in the army, naturally had to speak first, otherwise who would dare to speak for the rest of these generals?

"General Gan is so serious. Xiao Wang is just ordered to supervise the army. He dare not stop the judgment of you military strategists. He should talk about how to fight." Xiao Ye's attitude was very low, giving Gan Ming enough face.

Gan Ming was very helpful to Xiao Ye. As the two sang and praised each other, Xu Daozong couldn't help it. Youzhou was his hometown for him, and he was the only one in the hall who was born in Youzhou.

"Your Highness, General Gan, the last general thought he could go to Tianjin first to shock the people of Donghai. If they understand our attitude, they will definitely withdraw from Youdu and retreat outside the pass. If they still don't know life and death, General Gan can take Yuyang City and lock the retreat of Donghai people!"

Gan Ming looked at Xu Daozong who was talking with a serious expression. He was very disgusted with Xu Daozong's interruption. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Xu Daozong said was not without reason, but the court's hope of protecting Youzhou City did not seem to be resolved.

Gan Ming looked at Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye gave him a look and signaled him to speak, so Gan Ming cleared his throat and said, "General Dao Zong, your idea is very good, but how can you protect Youdu City?"

Xu Daozong thought for a moment and said, "Do you still remember Gusu City two months ago?"

Everyone suddenly realized, but Gan Ming's expression became even more ugly. The Xuan army captured Gusu City because of Huo Youji's White Ape Travel. The White Ape Travel has become famous in recent years and has sneaked into the enemy's confidant with a small group of elite troops to complete the beheading operation. Although many of the soldiers in the army were ashamed and felt that they were doing the robbery crowing and dog stealing, there was no such elite in the Ning army. It was not that Ning army had insufficient combat power, but that they had no experience.

"General Daozong, even though that is the case, our soldiers are all powerful generals on the battlefield. They have not tried to steal people like Bai Yuanyou. What do you want?" Gan Ming asked again.

"Your Highness, General Gan, our army's Ma Military Office and Jinyi Qilin can cooperate to sneak into Youdu City in batches. With the deployment of Jinyi Qilin in Youzhou, we can enter smoothly as long as we can open one of the doors. Of course, before this, we must take down Tianjin and Yuyang and cut off the retreat of the people of Donghai."

"General Xu, it's not that I refute you. What if the people of Donghai fight to the death? Youdu City will still be destroyed." Xiao Ye asked.

"Your Highness, Mo Jiang is from Youdu and is very clear about every tree and grass in Youdu. As long as we take the North Gate, Mo Jiang will have a way to deal with those who resist the East China Sea people. There will never be a tragedy that destroys Youdu." Xu Daozong replied confidently.

Xiao Ye and Gan Ming looked at each other, and Gan Ming twisted his neck and smiled, "I have forgotten that General Daozong is from Youdu. In this case, can Master Pei, Mr. Pei's people also help?"

After being named, Pei Yun quickly stood up and replied: "The general is not familiar with Youzhou, but his father will do his best!"

"Since that's the case, please bother Major General Pei to go back and discuss with Mr. Pei how to cooperate. General Xu can go with him if he feels at ease." Xiao Ye decided directly.

Xu Daozong was very calm and bowed his hands and said to Pei Yun: "Major General Pei, I want to meet with Gong Pei as soon as possible."

Pei Yun was about to reply, but Gan Ming said: "Since your highness has decided that these things should be faster. It will take up Tianjin and Yuyang for up to one month, and it will take about half a month to complete the siege of Youdu. Dao Sect! The deployment of Youdu must be completed within forty days. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ye laughed at Gan Ming's behavior instead of angry. He knew very well what kind of person Gan Ming was. His ability to take the initiative to take the lead means that he really put himself in his heart. Only in this way can Gan Ming relieve Xiao Ye.

After the military parliament ended, Xiao Ye specially kept Gan Ming for dinner. There were four simple dishes, but not simple thoughts. Gan Ming was from Jiangyou. It was obvious that Xiao Ye was useless to find a chef in Jiangyou in Dingzhou.

Gan Ming was enjoying his meal. Xiao Ye did not disturb him during the meal. When he was using tea after the meal, Xiao Ye slowly spoke: "Is uncle still satisfied?"

Although Gan Ming was rude, he was not stupid. When he heard Xiao Ye's name, he quickly stood up and half-kneeled and said, "The old minister is rude, and he dare not call him Your Highness Uncle!"

Xiao Ye stepped forward and held Gan Ming up and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here. My uncle took good care of me when he was the commander of the Qilin Guard. He said, "Uncle, you are the one who can follow me. In private, we don't have to pay attention to the vain etiquette. What do you think?"

Gan Ming stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, and admired Xiao Ye more and more. Perhaps serving such a master is better than serving His Majesty.

"Your Highness's intentions are clear in your mind. It's better not to call this title. If you don't know it, it will be unfavorable to your Highness's plan." Although Gan Ming enjoyed it, he still refused.

"You are determined, and I'm talking nonsense. Since you have chosen me, I can't let you down. Before you come, I have asked Yang Tingyu to go to Qingwu Army from Jinan."

Gan Ming looked puzzled, but then smiled and bowed, "Your Highness is scheming. Although the Qingwu Army is quite different from the time when Yu Qingwu was commanded, the combat power of the Qingwu Army is still there. With the ability of the Qingwu Army, you can compete with the White Apes in the south. Lord Yang will go from Jinan, which means you don't leave time for Yu Qingyu to sway. It's great, but Your Highness also wants to give Yu Qingyu some hope."

"This is why I will keep you. Please give me some advice on Qingyu's affairs." Xiao Ye looked down at the question.

Gan Ming thought for a while and said, "The Changsun clan in Lianghuai and Jiangdong areas will definitely withdraw in the future. As for Prince Ji, the soldiers of Luzhou, must also be transferred to the Dahe area. With His Majesty's thoughts, the Qingwu Army should be used as the defense of Jinling. However, as far as I know, Yu Qingyu has been targeting Zuo Qing, and Zuo Qing seems to have reached an agreement with His Majesty, so what about His Majesty's promise to the heads of Lianghuai and Zuo Qing?"
