Chapter 1726: Entering Linhuang Mansion, He Shi Lie Zhining
The land of Huanzhou did not block the footsteps of Shen Tang and his party. It was just a small group of Mongolian soldiers and horses. It was not even worth the action of Shen Tang and his disciple Shan Kening. The vanguard army defeated them directly!
"Where is the front?"
Shen Tang asked the guide on the side.
The guide smiled and said, "Commander, in about ten miles ahead we will enter the territory of Linhuang Mansion. About thirty miles to the north there is a small lake named Yuerluo. To the east is a flat pine forest. A dozen miles ahead. After that, we will continue to move northeast along the Huanghe River, and we will have to walk three to four hundred miles to reach what you call Fengzhoupu."
Linhuang Mansion is located in the border area, with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Even though Shen Tang and the others are located inside Linhuang Mansion, there are still very few villages in the area they pass, let alone any city.
Coupled with more than a year of war, even the original people had already migrated away. Moreover, this northern land was not as good as the south of the Yangtze River. The weather was cold and freezing, and the maximum daily march was only a few dozen miles.
Heshi Liezhining's troops were divided into two parts based on the capital of Linhuang Prefecture. One part was in the Liliezhi Mountains to the north of Linhuang Prefecture, and the other part was in Fengzhoupu to the south of Linhuang Prefecture.
Now, Shen Tang and his entourage were going to Fengzhoupu to meet up with He Shilie Zhining first.
After marching like this for six or seven days, a group of soldiers and horses came towards us from the front.
Shen Tang looked at the opponent's flag from a distance, and immediately said to Tu Dankening on the side, "Look, our commander-in-chief He Shiliezhining has come to greet us."
The two laughed loudly, and then rode forward to meet him.
Sure enough, the person leading the opposite party was none other than He Shilie Zhining.
All of them are old friends, so they are naturally familiar with each other.
Heshi Liezhining first stepped forward and taunted his disciple Shan Kening a few words, and then said to Shen Tang, "I didn't expect that I would fight side by side with you! I have read all the military reports from your front. , good, good fight, at least much better than that old boy Tu Dankening."
Tu Dankening rolled his eyes helplessly, "You old guy, how much more did you steal than me?
With more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, can’t he take down a small Linhuang Mansion?”
"You can hardly stand and talk without your back hurting!"
Heshi Liezhining said, "That bastard Yi Lawo'o, although he doesn't have many soldiers and horses, he built the city of Linhuang Mansion like a hedgehog. Moreover, I have to face the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian tribes. I can It is already difficult to maintain the situation.”
"However, since you are here, the death of this bastard has also come! This time, I will strip him of all his thorns, pull them out and whip his body! In the past year or so, how many people have died under my command? Erlang?"
Heshi Liezhining said bitterly.
"We originally wanted to line up the mountains, but why did you send us the news that we should join you?"
Tu Dankening asked in confusion.
Heshi Liezhining laughed when he heard this, "I guess this kid's plan worked. Since you forced the Xia and Liao troops in Yehuling into the Wanggu tribe, the Mongolian tribes who were originally in the Liliezhi Mountains The soldiers and horses can no longer sit still, no, they started to retreat a few days ago, and now they have retreated north to the desert area."
The desert area he was talking about was not in the desert, but in a large area of uninhabited land to the northwest of the Liliezhi Mountains.
In fact, the ownership of this place is not clear. Although the land of four to five hundred miles northwest from the Liliezhi Mountains is included in the Linhuang Mansion, there are no troops stationed in this area. Not even sentries were set up.
The people here are also extremely rare. There is only one herdsman tribe in the Dashanluo area away from the Liliezhi Mountains, which cannot be called the people of the Jin Kingdom.
Moreover, even before the war, the Jin Kingdom actually controlled only the area around Linhuang Mansion and the Liliezhi Mountains.
The soldiers and horses of the Mongolian tribe left the Liliezhi Mountains and entered this desolate area. Even if Shen Tang and others really rushed there, it would be meaningless to find the opponent to fight in such a vast area. If they were unlucky, the search would take several months. You may not be able to find it either.
Furthermore, since they retreat, they will most likely retreat directly to their own tribe. After all, this generation is uninhabited, and supplies are also a big problem.
However, this is not surprising. The battle between Shen Tang and others on Xijing Road was not concealed, and they could not hide it from the Mongols. The situation of the battle on Xijing Road changed drastically. Not only did Xia Liao's troops and horses lose their ability to contain the troops on Xijing Road, , and the other party also came with reinforcements.
In addition, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Xia Liao entered the Mongolian grassland. How could the soldiers and horses of these Mongolian tribes feel at ease?
Therefore, they retreated directly.
After all, with Xia Liao's defeat on Xijing Road, it would be meaningless for them to continue to persist here.
As for the Yishawoou who were surrounded by Linhuang Mansion, both the Xia and Liao side and the Mongolian side had obviously given up.
The move to Wo'ou was just an opportunity and excuse for them. With them anchored in Linhuang Mansion, they could contain a large number of troops in the northern part of the Jin Kingdom, making Heshi Liezhining unable to use all his troops.
After all, although Linhuang Mansion is not close to Zhongdu, there is only Dading Mansion in between. From Linhuang Mansion all the way south to the Great Wall border in the north of Zhongdu Mansion, it is basically undefeated.
Therefore, as long as Yisi Wo'o is still in Linhuang Mansion, the Jin Kingdom can only station heavy troops in the south of him to prevent him from jumping over the wall and heading south.
But now there is nothing that can be done, and there is even the possibility of encountering revenge from the Jin Kingdom after the war. In this case, who will care about the life and death of Qiuchowou?
No matter whether the Jin Kingdom is frying or frying, they will only watch the excitement from the sidelines and will not bring their own people in for nothing.
"So, now our only enemy is Linhuang Mansion's Yi La Wo Wo!"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
"good!"
Heshi Liezhining laughed and nodded, "Moreover, I also sent people to Linhuang Mansion with the news of the withdrawal of Mongolian troops and horses. Now Linhuang Mansion is also panicking. We may not even need to take action. Then we'll mess up the situation ourselves, so we'll just pick up what's ready."
"It's best if it's natural!"
Tu Dankening said.
"Let's go, let's return to the camp first. I have already prepared wine and meat, waiting for you to arrive.
It's freezing cold today, and it's simply no place for people to stay.
Now I just want to clean up this bastard quickly, and then rush back to Zhongdu to hold Mei Jiaoniang and have a good sleep!"
Heshi Liezhining's words made Shen Tang and Tu Shankening burst into laughter.
Everyone continued to move forward with He Shi Liezhining, and after walking less than ten miles, they saw a series of tents within sight.
