Chapter eight hundred and seventy first prepared a gift
Lin Zhao only brought more than 30 personal guards and set out from Yingzhou and headed straight for Taiyuan.
In order to rush the road, more than 30 people changed horses along the way, because they didn't have to cherish their horsepower, they could run four or five hundred miles a day.
In this way, while traveling starry night, Lin Zhao arrived at the Pinglu Army Camp under Taiyuan City on the evening of the fourth day after departure.
Because he was rushing day and night, the Prince of Yue at this time was quite haggard.
When Pei Jian heard that Lin Zhao was coming, he personally went out to greet him. After seeing Lin Zhao, Pei Jian looked at Lin Zhao's face, sighed slightly, and lowered his head and said, "I am incompetent, let the prince work hard."
Lin Zhao was indeed very tired at this moment.
He was surrounded by everyone and sat down in the tent, then looked at Pei Jian, lowered his eyebrows and said, "This is no wonder General Pei, it can only be said that the court responded ingeniously."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhao paused and said, "Has Taiyuan not been captured yet?"
Pei Jian shook his head: "After the Shuofang Army and the Chang'an Imperial Army arrived, they pretended to attack Taiyuan for a long time, and then hurried in the barracks and pretended to be dead. Seeing that they did not attack, the general simply did not continue to attack Taiyuan and kept consuming it with them."
Lin Zhao nodded and reached out to rub his temples.
"I probably know the situation."
Prince Yue slowly stood up and looked at Pei Jian.
"Uncle Pei, I've come here day and night. Now I can't hold on anymore. I want to have a sleep first, you..."
Lin Zhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "Help me hang up the royal flag."
Pei Jian nodded immediately and said, "Your Majesty, just go and rest. I will go and hang the flag for you in person."
Lin Zhao nodded, waved his hand to disperse the others in the handsome tent, and then fell asleep on the handsome tent's bed.
Because he was so tired that after he lay down, he fell asleep in a few breaths.
At the same time, Pei Jian, dressed in iron armor, personally dropped his flag at the gate of Pinglu Army camp and hung Lin Zhao's royal flag.
On the two large banners, one embroidered with the word "Lin" and the other embroidered with the word "Yue", fluttering in the wind at the gate of the Pinglu Army camp.
At this moment, whether it was the Chang'an Imperial Army or the Shuofang Army, they were always staring at the Pinglu Army camp. The news that the Pinglu Army had hung the king's flag soon reached the ears of Li Xu, the chief general of the Chang'an Imperial Army.
When the Emperor Song heard this, he frowned at first, thought carefully, and then ordered his subordinates: "Prepare horses, I'll go to the Shuofang Army camp."
Soon, someone brought Li Xu a mount. The Imperial Army general, who had inconvenient legs and feet, got on the mount with the help of his followers, and led a dozen guards to the Shuofang Army camp.
The Imperial Guard Camp is west of Taiyuan City, and the Shuofang Army Camp is north of Taiyuan City. The distance is not very far. In less than half an hour, Li Xu came to the gate of the Shuofang Army Camp and asked someone to inform him.
Soon, Qi Shidao, dressed in military uniform, met him in person and saluted to Li Xu who had dismounted, saying, "Your Highness, King Song."
Li Xu quickly bowed his head and returned the greeting, and smiled bitterly: "I'm making fun of me."
Qi Shidao did not say much about Li Xu's title, but turned his body to the side and looked calm: "Your Highness Song, please come in."
Li Xu stood beside Qi Shidao and shook his head quickly: "I dare not walk in front of my uncle, otherwise I will have no face to see my aunt in the future."
Qi Shidao no longer insisted and walked in front of him to lead the way. Li Xu limped behind Qi Shidao and entered the Shuofang Army camp.
The two princes of the Great Zhou sat down in the Shuofang Army camp, lowered their heads and drank a sip of tea, Li Xu looked at Qi Shi and said, "My uncle should have already known about the fact that the Yue King Banner is hung at the door of Pinglu Military Camp?"
"knew."
Qi Shidao lowered his eyebrows and said, "How can you not know the two big flags?"
"Taiyuan is more than a thousand miles away from Youzhou. It is rare that he can come here so quickly."
Li Xu lowered his eyebrows and said, "But according to the court, the Youzhou army was still fighting hard with the Khitans a few days ago. If Sanlang really arrived in Taiyuan, he would ignore the Khitans."
"And this also means that he values Taiyuan more."
His Highness Song smiled bitterly and said, "Our Royal Highness, King Yue, is not as easy to fool as General Pei, and hasn't seen him for several years. No one knows whether his temper is good. If something happens in Taiyuan, it will be difficult to end if it really conflicts."
“Not to.”
Qi Shidao shook his head slightly and said, "I brought 20,000 troops here. Your Highness, King Song, there are 10,000 imperial guards. No matter what, Sanlang doesn't have to make a fuss with us..."
His Highness Song lowered his head slightly and said, "Uncle, my nephew has an idea."
Qi Shidao glanced at Li Xu.
"Your Highness has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
"Even if Sanlang arrives in Taiyuan, it is already evening. The Pinglu army will not attack Taiyuan at night. My nephew means that tomorrow morning, you and I will send troops to attack Taiyuan together and fight a serious siege. In this way, even if Sanlang arrives in person, he will have nothing to say in the future."
When the Chang'an Imperial Army and the Shuofang Army arrived in a hurry, the cavalry were present on both sides and could not attack the city. But now, their subsequent troops arrived one after another and had complete siege capabilities.
"Can."
Qi Shidao just thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and said, "Then tomorrow morning, our Shuofang Army will officially start attacking Taiyuan."
Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Shidao Qi.
"Thank you uncle..."
……………………
The next day.
Because he was too tired all the way, Lin Zhao slept until he woke up when it was almost noon the next day. He rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed in a daze.
Before he could start washing up, Pei Jian, who was already wearing armor, hurried in and smiled bitterly at Lin Zhao, "Your Majesty, you are awake..."
Prince Yue yawned and his eyes were sleepy.
"What happened?"
Pei Jian quickly explained what happened in the morning, and then said, "From the morning, the Chang'an Imperial Army and the Shuofang Army began to attack Taiyuan and attack the city seriously..."
"At this time, the Hedong Army in Taiyuan City, as well as the Shuofang Army and the Chang'an Imperial Army, were each injured and killed and fought fiercely."
Pei Jian rubbed his hands and whispered: "Prince, these people are not pure in mind. I know that you are here, so I think about doing something to block your mouth..."
"No matter what, this skill of destroying Taiyuan cannot be taken away by them!"
Pei Jian said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please give an order quickly. The last general has already ordered all his troops and is ready to attack Taiyuan at any time!"
"Don't worry."
Prince Yue yawned a big yawn and said lazily: "Let them hit you. Uncle Pei, you can't chew it for five or six days. It's unreasonable that they can chew it in half a day."
Pei Jian lowered his voice and said, "Prince, if the Hedong Army defends to the death, there will be no problem for one day. I am afraid that the Wang family father and son will surrender to the court while fighting. At that time, all the previous efforts of our Pinglu Army will be wasted..."
"There are no more Wang family father and son."
Lin Zhao lowered his eyebrows slightly and said calmly.
Pei Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "Prince, what do you mean?"
"Wang Fu, the governor of Hedong, died, but he did not die in secret, and few people know about it until now."
Lin Zhao's face was calm and he said lightly: "Now it is his son Wang Luo, who is in charge of the city."
Speaking of this, Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Not to mention whether they can take Taiyuan today, or whether Wang Luo will open the door to surrender, even if they really conquer Taiyuan today, they will come and look for me."
His Highness King Yue looked at Pei Jian with anxiety on his face and smiled and said, "Uncle Pei, don't be anxious, wait for another day.
"Wait tomorrow, I will perform a big show for you tomorrow."
