It is now the winter grazing period in Dilu. All cattle, sheep, and horses are kept in winter pastures. Basically, people and animals have begun to raise their animals in winter.
Unless there is an extremely urgent situation, the whole family will not be dispatched.
Moreover, even the leader died in the Broken Golden Guard.
Zhao Tinglei thought for a while and then said: "I heard from the scouts that there was a fierce battle in the Sifang Mountain area a few days ago, between the Yuelun tribe and the Wuda tribe."
"Wow!"
Zhao Yan stood up proudly and said with piercing eyes: "It was the mistress who drove people away again!"
At this time, he had determined that the Dilu people who attacked the Jinwei were deliberately driven away.
If you want to force a group of cavalry into an unfamiliar ravine, it won't be a shepherd dog driving the sheep. It will definitely require countless fights.
Zhao Yanjiao walked around in circles for a few times before asking: "Xiaosan... how are they?"
He did not mention Uyal.
Others only thought that Wu Yaer was dependent on him, and the Wuda tribe also obeyed the arrangements of the Zhenbei Army.
In fact, Zhao Yanjiao knew that Wu Yaer did admire him.
If it were an ordinary woman, after giving birth to a child, she might marry a chicken or a dog.
But even if she has followed him for twenty years, she is still the leader of the Uda tribe in her heart.
His relationship with Wuyal is like that between the Zhenbei Army and the Wuda tribe. They each have their own positions, and there is more cooperation than affection between them.
In the past few years, no matter what he said, Uyal was unwilling to give up the Uda tribe and the former honor of the Uda tribe.
He refused to bring the Wuda tribe back to the Wu Dynasty, but reached a certain tacit agreement with the Zhenbei Army.
So Wu Yaer resolutely returned to the grassland as soon as his mistress came of age.
Worrying about the impact of the Ruijin tragedy on the Zhenbei Army was just an excuse for her to prepare for separation, and now she didn't even reveal any information.
Zhao Tinglei heard that his father was somewhat depressed, and he also understood Mrs. Wu Ya's persistence.
He said softly: "The third brother can bring military exploits to Broken Gold Guards and rest at the guard station for one night before leaving. The tribe must be worry-free."
Mrs. Wuya is no ordinary woman, and the Wuda tribe will definitely be firmly under control.
Of course Zhao Yanjiao understood Wu Yaer's ability. He sighed: "That woman is so strong!"
Zhao Tinlei said nothing.
If Mrs. Wuya was not strong, how could she come to the Zhenbei Army in a critical moment?
How could her father give birth to a third brother for her?
Although a man likes a woman's softness and gentleness, it is the most difficult for him to let go of this kind of woman who, even if she follows him with a low eyebrow, still seems to be hanging high in the sky.
Zhao Yanjiao only sighed briefly, in his heart the interests of the Wu Dynasty outweighed everything else.
When he thought of those military exploits, he suddenly became energetic and said loudly: "Immediately write a request for merit and report it to the Ministry of War together with the battle report. In addition, this time we killed the Dilu people, and all the arrows and medicines consumed by the Broken Golden Guard were replenished.
!No, it should be double stocked."
Zhao Tinglei immediately sent military documents and sent the battle report to the Ministry of War as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Tang Ying, the commander of the Xuanwei Army, was so anxious that he was in a bad mood even during the New Year.
It has been almost a month since Pingliang Fort was captured by the Dilu people. Zhao Yanjiao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, has repeatedly issued military orders asking him to take back the guard post as soon as possible, otherwise he will withdraw the Xuanwei Army and let the Lei Ziying of the Zhenbei Army come.
attack.
Tang Ying knew that if the Zhenbei Army came to capture Pingliang Fort, it would be time for him to pack up and leave.
The Zhenbei Army has always been controlled by Zhao Yanjiao. It is a piece of meat that no one can separate from.
It was through the "Broken Gold Massacre" five years ago that the eldest prince seized the military power of several prefectures north of Hecheng.
Now if the Zhenbei Army takes back the military power of Pingliang Fort, they will definitely be rejected by the eldest prince.
During this period, Xuanwei Army was actually never idle.
He gathered his forces several times to attack, but all failed, and dozens of sergeants lost their lives. The more he fought, the more difficult it became for him.
Originally, Pingliang Fort was just a small guard post, and its role in the northern part of Yunzhou was insignificant to the stability of the Wu Dynasty's border.
However, due to the continuous defeats of the Xuanwei Army, the strength of Pingliang Fort gradually spread in the north.
After robbing property, gangsters from all over the place began to gather here as their target.
There are more and more people, and the villages and towns around Pingliangbao have been occupied and spread by bandits.
It was as if they wanted to occupy Pingliang Fort into a den of thieves.
Several government offices also jointly impeached Tang Ying for his incompetence.
This made Tang Ying very dissatisfied. The guard station only prevented the Dilu from entering, and the responsibility for the rogue bandits should be placed on the local incompetence in suppressing bandits.
The reason why I couldn't attack it for a long time was not because it was full of rogues.
However, it is a fact that villages and towns were robbed due to the fall of Pingliang Fort.
So, following General Zhao Yanjiao's request for merit, he reported it to the Ministry of War.
On the other side, Tang Ying's letter was also rushed to the capital.
During the first month of the year, commerce in Kyoto was bustling during the Wu Dynasty, and the streets were full of people. The vendors were still shouting and selling despite the severe cold.
Amid the commotion, the sound of horse hooves sounded rapidly from the end of the long street.
The sergeant on the horse has his arms tied with red silk, and a red flag on the saddle is flapping, which is an emergency military signal.
The bodies of the horses and their riders were steaming, covered in sweat and dirt, and they were obviously covered in dust from having traveled a long distance.
People on the road moved to both sides in panic, waiting for the horse to pass by, and gathered together to discuss.
There has been peace in the northwest for more than ten years. Except for the unexpected incident caused by the sneak attack by the rogue Kodi tribe in Ruijin Town, the serious war has long been forgotten by everyone.
However, in the past few years of the Wu Dynasty, the southern trade routes had been prosperous and pirates frequently appeared in the southeast. The navy had already sent such urgent reports several times in a year.
This time, they really got it wrong. The urgent report came from the northwest.
The two memorials were sent to the desk of Xu Zheyuan, Minister of War at the same time.
Zhao Yanjiao's letter was a request for merit and a request for the dispatch of ordnance and silver pay to the Zhenbei Army as soon as possible.
Tang Ying's memorial talks about the sudden invasion of Di Lu people years ago and the attack on Pingliang Fort.
Now the villages and towns behind Pingliang Fort are like a little daughter-in-law with all her clothes taken off, completely exposed to the Di scimitar.
In addition to pleading guilty, Tang Ying also mentioned in the memorial that the Zhenbei Army had been sitting on the sidelines during this period, resulting in the delay in taking back Pingliang Fort.
He knew he couldn't hold it anymore and had to find someone to hold the cylinder.
The Zhenbei Army's late arrival of rescue was the best reason.
Tang Ying concealed the incident and did not go to Hecheng to seek help. Instead, he sent the military report directly to the capital, bypassing General Zhao Yanjiao.
Its intention is nothing more than to draw the Zhenbei Army into the water.
The Ministry of War sent two war reports to the emperor's case, and the first court meeting of Emperor Yuanzong of the Wu Dynasty in the new year immediately turned into chaos.
Tang Ying's urgent report said that hundreds of Dilu cavalry were crossing the border, burning, killing and looting. His Xuanwei army was not good at riding in the field, so they could only strategically retreat and wait for rescue.
However, the Zhenbei Army was still late in arriving, and the surrounding garrison stations also stayed in place and even refused to come out to rescue them.
In addition, it was mentioned that the local government failed to suppress the bandits, which led to the gathering of rogue bandits, allowing the enemy in Pingliang Fort to outnumber them, and the more they fought, the more they fought.
