"Lao He, you should go to the city now." Song Huiyue put down her chopsticks, her expression suddenly became solemn, "Go and find out if there have been any changes in the Chen family recently, and see if Zhang Xutang has left anything for him, or brought something with him.
What are you going to do?"
He Jianghuai stood up quickly: "Yes, I'll go right away."
"Li Jun, can you still walk?" Song Huiyue looked at Li Jun's bulging belly.
Li Jun burped, feeling that his throat was full. He stood up with his left hand on the table and tried to take two steps: "It's okay. If you need anything, just give me instructions."
"You go to Xi Zhang and ask him to be more careful and not to be careless."
Li Jun was stunned: "Do you suspect Zhang Xutang wants to kill him?"
"Well," Song Huiyue frowned, "Zhang Xutang was killed when someone saw him making a fool of himself in Kyoto. What's more, Xi Zhang rescued me from his clutches and also fooled him."
"Xiao Tian!" Li Jun shouted to Tian Jiguang quickly, "Hurry and help me get dressed! I will go back to the military camp right now!"
Tian Jiguang trotted in, took off the cloak from the screen, tied it on him, and put a hat on him.
Li Jun took two steps outside, turned to Song Huiyue and said, "You and Yin Xiao go back to the barracks first. I'm afraid Xi Zhang will look for Yin Xiao."
Song Huiyue nodded and stood up. Just as Tian Jiguang was about to take down the cloak for her, Yin Xiao had already strode forward, took off the cloak, shook it out, put it on Song Huiyue's shoulders, and tied a knot.
Song Huiyue walked out without looking back. Yinxiao turned around and took off her hat. He quickly caught up with her and put it on her. He took the spear from the door and followed her shadow into the wilderness.
Tian Jiguang's hand was still hanging, and he slowly lowered his hand after watching the two of them disappear. He felt that at that moment, he was very redundant.
He Jianghuai soon found out that Chen Qiuping's only son had followed Zhang Xutang into Beijing, and immediately asked people to bring the news to Song Huiyue and Li Jun. Li Jun then informed Xi Zhang, asking Xi Zhang to be careful.
Xi Zhang was not an ignorant person, so he immediately asked Lei Tong to follow him. After being careful for several days, he did not see any harm done to him.
Just when everyone was about to relax, an urgent call suddenly came from Kyoto, hitting everyone like a bolt from the blue.
After receiving the good news today, I was overjoyed and believed that I was really a rare wise king. I was expected to regain the lost territory in my lifetime. When I issued an order to reward the three armies, I also issued a military order to let the Dingzhou army gather. Taking advantage of this power, I used Yingzhou as the base.
Break through Mozhou as soon as possible, break through Waqiao Pass, and then take this great opportunity to capture the land behind the mountain.
Only by fighting quickly can you win quickly.
Today, in the imperial edict, three words of "kuai" are mentioned in succession, and the commander of Dingzhou, the transport envoy and others are ordered to supervise the war.
However, Dingzhou had no intention of taking this opportunity to attack.
It is already very difficult to capture Yingzhou, not to mention that after the Battle of Yingzhou, the Liao Kingdom has sent tens of thousands of troops to Mozhou, firstly to recover Yingzhou, and secondly to defend Waqiao Pass.
The commanders of the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army all believe that conquering Mozhou is far more difficult than talking about it on paper today. The current situation should be to stabilize the victory in Yingzhou, fight steadily, and then fight in small groups to consume
Liao soldiers, make another big move.
Moreover, as long as Yingzhou is secured, they can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. They can also build Yingzhou into a city camp and use it as a base to regain the sixteen states.
The army did not move, but the Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army jointly presented their plans and difficulties to the present. The first one was the lack of food and grass. The second was the late spring cold. The soldiers lacked cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. If they continued to go further north, they would be frozen alive.
There is no telling if you will die, and all your efforts will be wasted by then.
However, after Jinshang saw Zhezi, he became furious and thought that the Dingzhou army dared to disobey his orders, and he was worthy of death.
He issued two decrees in a row, urging the army to conquer Mozhou at one go and not to miss the good opportunity. The food and grass were already on the way. Don't use the food and grass as an excuse to be lazy.
The Dingzhou Commandery Department and the Transportation Department also urged one after another, but the army still did not move.
Today, I once again scolded the Dingzhou commander for supporting his troops with self-respect, disregarding the righteousness, and not understanding the overall situation. He also issued three gold-lettered cards, appointed Xi Zhang, and ordered him to still lead the front army and quickly go to Mozhou to level the enemy. If there is any delay, he will be killed.
amnesty.
Chen Qiuping's request for merit was undoubtedly to ask Xi Zhang to die, and the gold-lettered plaque was a reminder of his death.
The whole army.
They were all indignant, but Xi Zhang himself was eating and drinking. At the same time, he took his two beloved generals with him. He looked at Lei Tong, who was like a hill, and Yin Xiao, who was taciturn. He felt that he was left.
I hugged the two beauties on my right side, feeling very proud.
Regarding the matter of going to die, he said nothing, and others did not dare to say anything. There was silence from top to bottom. It was not until an envoy sent three gold-lettered plaques that Xi Zhang had to lead troops to attack Mozhou.
Lifted it up.
At the end of March, Xi Zhang, the general of Wanqi Xiong's personal soldiers, led the army to the barracks.
At this time, everyone in the city camp was resting and waiting, and those who were not injured were practicing hard. Without squinting, Xi Zhang led Ai through it, and he was in a very good mood.
When they arrived outside Wanqi Xiong's camp, You Song was waiting outside. When he saw Xi Zhang, he stepped forward to salute and whispered: "It has been decided that you will go to Mozhou. I'm afraid there is no room for maneuver. But if you have an old illness,
, Now that an old illness has broken out and I am unable to lead the troops, we have to make another decision."
Xi Zhang whispered: "I thank your prince for your kindness. Military orders are like mountains. If Shang Liang is not upright, how can he lead the troops?"
He straightened up, patted You Song hard on the shoulder, and said loudly: "You kid has been wandering around all day long, why don't you go back to your army!"
When Wanqi Xiong heard Xi Zhang's voice in the camp, he laughed and said, "You bastard, who are you trying to punish? Get out here!"
You Song smiled and stepped forward to roll up the curtain for Xi Zhang. Xi Zhang bent down and got in. Yin Xiao and Lei Tong stayed outside. Before the curtain could be lowered, he heard Wan Qixiong say: "That little beloved general of yours
Here, bring it in and let me take a look."
"Xiaolou, come in!" Xi Zhang greeted without hesitation.
So Xiaolou also bent down and got in.
As soon as Yin Xiao entered the camp, his eyes were like hawks, sharply and quickly looking around at the situation in the military tent.
The Chinese military tent is twice as big as the ordinary tent and can accommodate twenty or thirty people for discussion. On the left side is a topographic map of Jumi Painting Sand, with detailed hills, rivers, and fortresses in the sixteen states. There is a sword rack behind the sand table.
, there is a sword on the shelf, and a large sheepskin map hangs on the back, which shows the territories of Liao and Xia, which is rough and not detailed.
In the middle is a desk and a chair. Behind the desk is a pile of books. On the right is a black lacquered screen with a war robe draped on it. There is a net rack behind the screen.
Wanqi Xiong is already sixty-one years old, his hair is gray, but he is energetic, his eyes are bright, he is old and immortal, and he can catch the eyes of Yin Xiao with just one glance.
He squinted his eyes and looked Yin Xiao up and down. Just as Xi Zhang was about to introduce him, he suddenly asked: "Xiaolou, how many people did you see here just now, except for the three of us."
"Five. No error updates@" Yin Xiao answered immediately.
Xi Zhang looked around in confusion and saw only four people. Two were standing by the door, and two were standing next to Wanqi Xiong. Where was the other one? This chapter has been completed!
