Chapter 270: Entering Mengzhou

Zhennan Hou Mansion.

"Mr. Marquis, Lord Tuoba is here, and he is now in the side hall."

Xiao Feng had just returned from the court meeting when he heard the servant's report. He paused, immediately turned his direction and walked towards the side hall.

"I have met the Marquis!"

Tuoba Shan, wearing a golden wolf-patterned brocade robe, saw Xiao Feng coming in and stood up to salute.

"Ha, it's such a rare guest. If I remember correctly, this is the first time Lord Tuoba has come to my Marquis' Mansion, which really makes me flattered!"

Xiao Feng had no good expression on Tuoba Shan and started to laugh at him as soon as he came in.

Tuoba Shan looked calm and didn't care. He said directly: "Some time ago, the army that appeared in the city was called Heijia Army. They were thieves in Nanganjizhou. The leader was a young man named Liu Feng. These days, this person was lurking in Xu Jing with a pseudonym Liu Han."

"Swish—hahaha~"

When Xiao Feng heard this, he suddenly laughed, but this smile made people look very cold, especially his eyes without any smile, only a bone-bone coldness!

If someone who knows Xiao Feng is familiar with him, he will know that this is his expression of murder.

The laughter didn't last long and suddenly stopped. Xiao Feng stood up and walked out.

"I got the news not long ago that the Black Armored Army had left Xu Jing one after another last night, and the last group also evacuated before the throne ceremony began. They also took away 60,000 high-quality war horses and a large number of carriages filled with food and grass from Beiyuan Horse Farm."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng paused and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Beiyuan Horse Farm is the imperial horse farm, where the horses are the best war horses in the Great Wei Dynasty. In terms of speed and endurance, they are much stronger than ordinary war horses.

Xiao Feng has long been coveting these war horses for a long time. When the late emperor was there, he wanted to use these war horses to form a heavy cavalry, but was rejected by the late emperor and was depressed for a long time. Unexpectedly, he is now a waste of money from outsiders!

This is a total of 60,000 top-notch war horses!

“Hosh~hhh~”

When he thought of this, his breathing became heavy, and his hands tightly grasped the belt around his waist, his face grim.

Anger rolled in Xiao Feng's chest. It was hard to find a good horse, let alone 60,000 good horses.

"ah!"

He suddenly shouted and kicked a chair next to him with a sudden kick. The powerful force directly kicked the chair apart.

After kicking this kick, Xiao Feng slowly calmed down. Now that he sent troops to chase him, he would definitely not be able to catch up.

The only way is to send troops to intercept the counties in the south, so there is still hope to stop those people in the territory of Wei.

"People come prepare horses!"

It is impossible to mobilize the garrisons of each county town, just relying on the Nanhou of his town. According to the laws and regulations of the Great Wei, the documents stamped by the Privy Council must be obtained.

Xiao Feng rode his horse all the way and soon arrived at the official office of the Privy Council. As the deputy envoy, he has a lot of power, but if the documentary takes effect, his seal is not enough. He must also have the seal of the Privy Councilor.

Although the Privy Councilor Wanyan Han was incompatible with Xiao Feng, as a member of the royal clan, after hearing that the Beiyuan Horse Farm was almost emptied, he immediately stamped a seal. He had only one thought in his mind that he would never let these thieves escape from the Wei State.

In less than half an hour, more than ten postmen with flags on their backs, one man and two horses rushed out of Xu Jing with the documents of the Privy Council, and then galloped south along different official roads.

However, before they arrived at the next post station, they were intercepted and killed by men in black who were ambushing on both sides of the official road on the way. All thirteen post station envoys were killed without exception, and the documents were naturally not spread.

Communication technology in this era was relatively backward. Although convenient communication tools such as carrier pigeons were already popular in the south of Ganchao, they were not popular in the Dawei area and still rely on post stations and fast horses to convey information and intelligence.

For the Wei people, they thought that the carrier pigeon was too unsafe, and they came from Nangan. In contrast, they were more willing to believe in their own station system.

When Liu Feng left, he made some arrangements for this situation. It was precisely because of this that the attack could work. By the time Xiao Feng learned that the postman had died, it might have been a long time since he had passed.

On the other side, after Tuoba Shan left the Marquis' Mansion, he went directly to the palace to meet Wanyan He.

"Do you think Zhennan Hou can stop Liu Feng and the others?"

Wanyan He asked while stroking the jade ring on the thumb.

"It's difficult, the Black Armored Army is not easy to deal with. In addition, they took away the war horses from Beiyuan and turned from infantry to cavalry. They came and went like the wind. Zhennan Hou had missed the opportunity. Even if they rely on Yan and Chong states to intercept the 50,000 Black Armored Army, they would definitely not be able to catch Liu Feng."

As the leader of the Langdu Guard, Tuoba Shan even knows Liu Feng even deeper than Wanyan He.

"I don't think I can catch it either. Liu Feng is not simple."

Wanyan He deeply felt the same way. He picked up an imperial edict from the imperial case and handed it to Tuoba Shan, "Take it to our mansion and hand it over to the guards there."

Although Tuoba Shan was a little curious about the content of the imperial edict, he did not dare to ask any more questions. After responding, he took the imperial edict with both hands and slowly retreated out.

This imperial edict was naturally the imperial edict given to him by Liu Feng before.

After ascending the throne, Wanyan He changed his mind a lot, and some of them didn't want to write this imperial edict.

After all, Yan and Chongzhou were the fat meat that the Wei finally snatched from Gan Chao. How could it be so easy for people to give up?

But after thinking about it, he still wrote it. He didn't think that Liu Feng could easily obtain the two states with that imperial edict alone. I'm afraid the first person he would not agree to would be Xiao Feng, the man from Zhennan.

Although he ascended the throne and became emperor now, his foundation was shallow. Most civil officials depended on the Shangshu Ling, while military generals were led by Xiao Feng.

There are probably not many civil and military officials in the court who are truly loyal to him.

The best choice at present is to keep a low profile and develop secretly. To throw out this imperial edict, just turn the attention of civil and military ministers to Liu Feng, and also give an explanation to Liu Feng.

To be honest, Wanyan He was still a little afraid of this grass-headed king, especially those guys named Factory Guards, who were elusive and difficult to deal with.

······

A month later, Liu Feng took the 50,000 Black Armored Army to avoid the Wei army, took a small path and passed by Yanzhou quietly, and entered Mengzhou!

At this time, Mengzhou had become Chen Sheng's territory. After the army entered Mengzhou, there was no trace of it, so it was soon discovered by Chen Sheng's troops stationed at Wushan Pass on the border of Mengyan.
