42, Takkin
After dealing with the Southern Army, Chu Ling did not set off for Linjiang City immediately, but left Xiao Zhi to take Yun Xingyue, Zhao Jilin and others to Guliang County directly. When the group arrived, Ge Danfeng and others were stationed not far from Guliang County to confront the soldiers of the Clan. Because Yu Wanzhou and Han Tianning arrived in time, they caught Takqin off guard and won a small victory.
Although Takqin is a member of the Clan, he is also a veteran of the battlefield. He is not impetuous. After losing his battle, he was not angry. Instead, he defended Guliang County, which made them helpless for a while.
"Princess!" Ge Danfeng and the other two were very happy to see Chu Ling. Ge Danfeng didn't know what Chu Ling wanted to do, but after getting the news from Yu Fanzhou, he was silent for a long time without saying anything. Although they always thought the young general was very powerful, he still shocked this time. Now that he saw Chu Ling appearing here, it was obvious that the situation in Linjiang City had settled.
Chu Ling waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, thank you three for your hard work." Han Tianning is the youngest and has seen Chu Ling the least. He is not afraid of being angry at all. He smiled and said, "The princess is so serious, it is all our duty." Chu Ling looked at him curiously and said, "General Han, we are meeting again."
Han Tianning's eyes lit up, "Princess still remembers me?" Han Tianning naturally had met Chu Ling, but at that time he was not at a high level and had no chance to talk to Chu Ling. After that, he took over the Zhuque Camp, and Chu Ling had also been to Cangyun City several times, but every time he came and went, Han Tianning was dizzy when he left the army. He really had no chance to talk.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "How come the head of the Zhuque Camp, how could young Youwei not remember?"
Han Tianning suddenly became excited, and did not care that Ge Danfeng and Yu Fanzhou were still present, so he talked about the matter that Jun Wuhuan told him to help. He did not forget to say a few good words to his own city lord. After all, the city lord and his wife have been together for a long time, and their relationship with each other is not so good after all. They are subordinates naturally want to share the worries of the city lord.
Chu Ling also thought this young man was very interesting. Jun Wuhuan dared to hand over the Zhuque Camp to such a reckless young man, which shows that Han Tianning is indeed capable.
Everyone entered the tent and sat down. Chu Ling just asked about the current situation in Guliang County. Ge Danfeng frowned and said, "Takeqin must also know that the two armies are in strength at the moment... Our army may be a little stronger. He defended Guliang County and did not leave, but was afraid he was waiting for reinforcements."
Chu Ling nodded, looked at Yu Fanzhou and asked, "Raizhou, what do you think?" Yu Fanzhou frowned slightly and said, "If we talk about strength... our army is indeed slightly stronger than the people of Northern Jin. But the princess also knows that we..." They have many soldiers and horses, and the combat power of Cangyun's army may not be inferior to the people of the Cangyun tribe, but their weakness is not small.
Chu Ling nodded and said, "I know." Their troops were too mixed. Jingbei Army, Shenyou Army, and Cangyun Army. It would be fine if they were all doing their own affairs. Now they are together, but they are afraid that it is a problem to listen to anyone's command. This is not the smooth handover of the three main generals after negotiation. No one can say whether the people below listen to the command or not. This is also the reason why Yu Fanzhou and the other three knew that Takqin was waiting for reinforcements but did not rush to enter the palace.
After holding his chin and thinking for a while, Chu Ling asked, "What do you think of three?"
Han Tianning has always been concerned about war and has no interest in the things above. He just said, "The princess said what to do if we do, our Zhuque Camp will do!" The city lord said, listen to the lady!
Yu Fanzhou glanced at him and said, "Princess Cangyun Army ignores it, mainly Jingbei Army, Shenyou Army and... the Imperial Army."
Cang Yunjun was here to help, and he had to go back after this matter was over, so there was no need for them to do anything to integrate. Ge Danfeng glanced at Yu Fanzhou and said, "After all,... it was because the identities of the princess and the young general were unknown. As long as the princess told the world about his identity, the Jingbei Army would naturally surrender to the princess. As for the private matters between the two armies... they could only slowly get through."
Yu Fanzhou frowned and said, "If you announce your identity now... Princess, is the Apocalypse ready?"
Chu Ling held his chin and said, "It's been so many days, so the people of Northern Jin should have almost gotten the news, right? Even if you have to hide it, it won't last long..." Yu Fanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then we..."
Chu Ling shook her head and said, "Kill Takqin first!" She glanced at the three people present, and Chu Ling said, "If even Takqin can't be killed, how could the old stubborn people who were scared by the Clan tribes? "Yu Fanzhou and Ge Danfeng looked at each other and nodded, "The princess is saying!" Han Tianning said, "Princess, then let's fight?" Looking towards the direction of Guliang County, the Clan tribes defended the city, and their siege was still very interesting. Let him see if the famous Clan generals were very capable of defending the city.
Takqin was a strong middle-aged man. In his early years, he followed Tuoba Xingye to fight the world, which was considered a great military achievement. Later, he turned to Tuoba Liang's command and was highly valued. After Tuoba Liang ascended the throne, he sent him to stay in Runzhou. Takqin naturally knew the importance and danger of Runzhou.
Compared to other parts of the Northern Jin Dynasty, between Cangyun City and Jingbei Army, Runzhou, which is separated by the Apocalypse, is simply surrounded by people on the other side of the river. However, Takqin didn't care. Although the Cangyun Army was not safe in recent years, there had been no major conflicts. Takqin had imagined that one day he would lead his troops to attack Cangyun City and fight Yan Fengxiao, and also imagined that he would lead his troops to break through Xinzhou. Compared with Cangyun City, the group of Jingbei Army could only be considered a mob. If it weren't for the Cangyun Army's restraint, it would have disappeared long ago.
However, Tarkqin did not expect that the first one would be the Jingbei Army that he did not see.
Looking at the continuous battle reports from all over the place, Takqin's brow could not help but lock it up. A few days ago, the general of the Jingbei Army, Di Jun, had already led his men to break through Changshun and was heading southwest to Runzhou Prefecture City. This was not enough to worry about Takqin. Whether it was Di Jun's military strength or his past achievements, he had already arranged enough troops to intercept his way.
However, Ge Danfeng, a military force in Guliang County, was really beyond his expectations. He was originally expected to destroy Ge Danfeng's troops in three or five days at most, but who knew... two more military force suddenly appeared on the way, and even caused him to suffer a loss. After just a confrontation, Takqin felt that the combat power of these two military force was obviously incomparable to the Jingbei Army. One of them was the Cangyun Army who had dealt with him a lot!
Cangyun City is indeed a scourge! You can see them fucking each other anywhere! Now Cangyun City itself is attacked by the imperial army, and you still have time to send troops to support the Jingbei Army?!
What made Tarkqin even more heartbreaking was that Linjiang City was broken!
Takqin never believed that the Jingbei Army would be the one who broke through Linjiang City. The Jingbei Army could not draw so many people at all. Then... if it weren't Cangyun Army, it would be the other side!
After taking a look at the map on the table, Tarkhin's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The situation in Runzhou is very bad for them now. Before they knew it, so many troops had already been stationed in Runzhou. And the Southern Army... If it weren't for the Southern Army in Linjiang City's temporary escape and fleeing, the garrison in Linjiang City might not have been defeated, and General Jamuha would not have died in battle! Those southerners really couldn't trust them, and they just hope that His Majesty could send people to support as soon as possible, otherwise...
"General." A general walked in quickly and said in a deep voice.
Tarkhin opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Report to General, the Jingbei Army outside the city began to move to the southwest and northeast directions."
Takqin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Oh? Want to split the troops into two groups to attack the city?" The city tower of Guliang County is higher than that of ordinary county towns, but it is far from comparable to a city like Runzhou. However, the Jingbei Army did not have any large-scale siege equipment, so the two armies have confronted each other so many days. Now it seems that those southerners can't hold back?
“Give people some warning.”
The general was a little puzzled, "General, aren't we going to fight?" The people of the Clan generally don't like defense, and they are more accustomed to attacking.
Takqin said in a deep voice: "There are at least 20,000 Cangyun Army there. How many of us are there? The southerners are not trustworthy. General Jamuha is the lesson of our predecessor!" Thinking of Jamuha who died in Linjiang City before, the general nodded and said: "The last general understands." Takqin nodded and said: "Go, reinforcements will arrive soon, and we will deal with the southerners!"
"Yes, General!"
Watching the man go out, Tarkqin stared at the map in front of him, frowned a little more tightly. The soldiers were divided into two groups... Guliang County was built along the mountain with four gates, but only the only one who could really set up troops was the east gate. These southerners distributed troops to the southwest and northeast... What did they want to do? Did they already have the equipment to siege the city?
This is impossible! The Jingbei Army itself does not have those large siege equipment, and the Cangyun Army that came to support them later were all light cavalry. It is impossible to do it temporarily, right? The spies in front were staring at the southerners and did not find any signs of large-scale construction.
So, what do they want to do?
Tarkgen's eyes suddenly fell on a point on the map, which could make him stand up, "Not good! Come on!"
Tarkhin stared at the map, his eyebrows were full of anger.
These people didn't want to attack the city at all, but wanted to... bypass Gu Liang and rush to Runzhou!
But in a moment, someone hurried in, "General!"
Tarkqin sternly said: "Send all the generals to come and see you immediately!"
Seeing the messenger going out, Takqin frowned and looked at the map and felt a little relieved. Although there were not many soldiers in Runzhou City, they were not small. Moreover, there were deputy generals left behind for a while... the southerners must not be able to do anything. However, even so, Guliang County could not stay for a long time. If they really wanted to attack Runzhou, how many soldiers and horses were left outside Guliang County now? These southerners... were too arrogant!
In the Pingjing Palace, Emperor Yongjia couldn't help laughing loudly when he saw the letter he had just delivered. The eunuchs and palace maids in the hall were relieved when they saw this. His Majesty had been depressed for a long time. Since he had been getting more and more irritable a few days ago, it seems that he really missed His Highness. So? The princess just sent someone to send a letter back, and His Majesty was happy.
"Your Majesty, Duke Xiangguo is asking for a visit." The guards respectfully reported outside the door.
Emperor Yongjia was in a good mood and hurriedly said, "Hurry, let him in."
When Duke Xiangguo walked into the hall, he saw Emperor Yongjia with joy on his face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Your Majesty has received the news."
Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you actually received the news?" Xiangguo said, "Now I'm afraid that the letters of the princess and Zhao Bo'an have already arrived at the Privy Council." The news in the army will naturally go through the official channels. His Majesty the Emperor's hand was just a private message written by His Highness the Princess to his father. Emperor Yongjia said happily: "Your way is still capable, look at this move and you will take down Linjiang City!"
The Duke of Xiangguo also had to sigh and nodded, "Your Majesty is saying." This time, he won the Princess Linjiang City without using any other foreign aid. He relied on the Imperial Guard Divine Blessing Army and the Apocalypse Naval Army. It can be said that so many years have passed, and this is the first time that Tianqi has agreed to the Northern Jin people. How can it not make people feel excited?
Emperor Yongjia stood up and said, "I want to issue an order to reward the three armies! There is also Qing'er! Please help me think about it, how should I reward Qing'er?"
Duke Xiangguo sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, I'll talk about the reward later."
Emperor Yongjia frowned slightly, "Why is this?"
Xiangguo said justice: "Have you forgotten this? Maybe everyone will be happy."
Emperor Yongjia didn't forget it, but was just too happy and didn't remember it for a while. He also lowered his face slightly and gritted his teeth and said, "This time I finally... I finally got it, no matter what, I can't let Qing'er's hard work be wasted!"
Duke Xiangguo nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
While he was speaking, a report from the guard came from outside, and Shangguan Chengyi and other ministers asked for a visit. It was less than an hour before the morning court ended, so it would be fine if these people were one or two. It was self-evident why they entered the palace in groups. Emperor Yongjia snorted coldly and said, "Xuan!"
After a while, seven or eight civil servants walked in, and even followed two military generals. Everyone worshiped in unison, "I'm going to see Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at everyone and said, "Get up. What's wrong with all my dear friends entering the palace at this time?"
