Chapter 207 The first appearance (1)
"Does Beijing know about this?"
The man nodded and said, "I am already in a hurry to send it to the capital. At the latest tomorrow, the news will reach the capital. It will only take at least half a month to reach reinforcements. I am afraid... Saixue Pass will not last that long. Just now, Young Master Qingchen ordered his subordinates to send a message to the princess. The princess of Nanzhao has been under house arrest by the King of Nanzhao. The King of Nanzhao issued an order to add the saint of Southern Xinjiang as the saint of the country to protect the country and participate in the government affairs of Southern Xinjiang. Mr. Xu asked the princess to leave Nanzhao as soon as possible. Mr. Xu said... We were all fooled by the King of Nanzhao."
Ye Li looked solemn and nodded and asked, "Where have you been?"
The man said, "Mr. Xu and his secret guards said that there was something to do. He would leave southern Xinjiang after the completion." Ye Li frowned and pondered for a moment: "Split a team of people to find the eldest brother and escort him to leave Nanzhao as soon as possible. If he refuses... then knock him out and take him away first! The others followed me to Saixue Pass as soon as possible."
"Yes, princess!"
The Black Cloud Cavalry quickly divided into two teams, one team of about twenty people led by one, and the remaining dozens were left on standby. Ye Li asked, "What army is there near the Ruixue Pass?" The leading man looked at Ye Li in surprise and replied respectfully: "A few months ago, the prince did deploy some people near Yongzhou and Lingzhou. However, the emperor was extremely cautious about the Ding King's Mansion, and it was impossible to mobilize the army on a large scale. Moreover, most of the Mo family army was still on the task of shocking the Beirong. Therefore, only two thousand Heiyun Cavalry and the 20,000 garrisons under the command of Wu Chengliang, the general of Yongzhou in Jiangbei. As soon as the war occurred, his subordinates immediately sent a message to General Wu. If there were no accidents, he should have arrived at Ruixue Pass tomorrow afternoon."
Ye Li frowned for a while and shook her head, "No! Let him lead troops to reinforce the troops garrison in Yongzhou to block King Li's army. The 80,000 troops were stationed in the Thunder Snow Pass. As long as General Murong did not leave the city to fight with the other party's life and death, it would be absolutely no problem to defend the city for half a month! Once King Li's army arrives in Yonglin City and form a siege with Nanzhao, even if there are 20,000 troops and horses, it will not work!"
The leading man was also shocked and hurriedly said, "I will send someone to inform General Wu immediately. I will definitely catch up before they cross the river tomorrow." After that, he quickly turned around and told someone to report the message. Ye Li rubbed his eyebrows, and always had a bad premonition in his heart, "Give me instructions, don't have to go back to the city, and go straight to the road and rushed to Saixue Pass as quickly as possible."
"yes."
It seemed that suddenly, the war suddenly broke out, which made Ye Li feel unreal and unreal. She looked up at the sky covered with clouds at some point, and her heart became heavier.
Snow Closing
On the solid and ancient mottled city wall, the soldiers garrisoned tightly with swords and guns, and the young faces were stained with traces of fatigue. Today, they repelled the Nanzhao army three attacks and were ready to face the next wave of attacks. Murong Shen was only 40 years old, with a angular face with a strong expression. He walked on the city tower with the spear in his hand, and his brows as dark as a knife frowned. From the day he was sent to the garrison of Saixue Pass, he knew that Saixue Pass was afraid that he would not be able to calm down, but he did not expect that the real danger was not only from Nanzhao, which had never been restless, but also from the inside of the Great Chu, the emperor's younger brother, King Li. He couldn't help but recall an anonymous letter he received when he left Beijing.
.There are only four simple words "Be careful of Lingzhou", which means this? The other party had known that King Li had ill intentions for a long time, but unfortunately... he did not pay enough attention. Or the environment did not allow him to pay attention. The emperor needed him to guard the border, but because he was too strong under the previous King Ding, and he was reluctant to give him enough military power. Local officials also restrained him everywhere. But now, even if he knew that once King Li captured Yongzhou and formed an encirclement, Saixue Pass, he would have no way to retreat, because he had to face more than 100,000 foreign tribes in Nanzhao before Saixue Pass. Once they were allowed to cross Saixue Pass, they would sweep the entire southern part of the Great Chu like a flood. Hope... reinforcements can be rushed...
"Dad." A crisp voice came from behind, and Murong Shen turned around. Murong Ting walked up to the city tower with a bright red outfit holding a sword in her hand. Murong Shen's face darkened and she said sternly: "What are you doing here? You can't go down."
"Dad!" Murong Ting said firmly: "My daughter is with her father to guard the city."
"Nonsense! I'll let you leave Snow Pass immediately, why haven't you left?" Murong Shen begged for his only daughter, Murong Shen, now in danger, he must stay and face his only daughter, but he must leave first. Murong Ting stubbornly bit the corner of his lips and said, "Ting'er is not unaware of the situation now. If he leaves Snow Pass now and falls into the hands of King Li, he is used to threaten his father, then his daughter will have to die." Seeing that Murong Shen wanted to say something, Murong Ting snatched him, "If my father said he wanted me to protect me and return to Beijing, it would be even worse. Now the Nanzhao army is about to attack the city, and it is time to need people. Ting'er, as the daughter of the general of Snow Pass, still has to leave with useful people. If this is done, Ting'er will be the daughter of the Murong family."
Murong Shen was speechless after being choked by his daughter's words, and after a while, she sighed: "The Broken Snow Pass is very dangerous now."
Murong Ting said proudly: "When is it not dangerous for Dad to go out to fight? Since Dad wants to guard Thousand Xue Pass, Ting'er, as a general, naturally cannot retreat even more." Murong Shen knew his daughter's temperament well and understood that it is indeed not safe on the way back to Beijing now, so he had to sigh, "Forget it, be careful in everything."
"Thank you, Dad..." Seeing that Murong Shen stopped insisting, Murong Ting was overjoyed, "Ting'er will never lose her father's face!"
"Princess, something big is not good!"
Ye Li and his team rushed to Saixue Pass without stopping. Nanzhao and King Li sent troops too suddenly. The Black Cloud Cavalry had already attracted the attention of many people before entering the southern border. Naturally, they could no longer be as smooth as when they came. Ye Li had to take the same Niang Er and An San and a few Niang Knight soldiers, and the others scattered back to Dongchu.
"What happened?" Ye Li frowned and tied the reins. The Black Cloud Knight who reported the message whispered: "General Wu Chengliang was assassinated, and the Yongzhou reinforcements were ambushed just after they crossed the river. The entire army... was destroyed."
Ye Li's heart trembled, "How far is it from the Ruixue Pass now?"
An Er said: "It's still half a day away. But... Sailed snow pass has been besieged by more than 100,000 troops from Nanzhao. I'm afraid we can't get into the pass even if we arrive."
Ye Li said: "Let's take a detour, don't worry about Raisexue Pass, go to Yonglin first. It's almost time for King Li's army to arrive."
"Yes, princess."
