Naturally, others cannot find reinforcements, but Shen Tang can find them!
A long time ago, Shen Tang made a secret arrangement, which was to let Cheng Yuhu and Teng Wu lead their armies to hide on the western border of the Jin Kingdom and wait for his orders.
However, at that time, Shen Tang's purpose was that if the progress of the peace talks was unfavorable, this man would become the candidate to disrupt the situation. As long as this man disturbed the situation on Xijing Road, then Xixia and Mongolia would be on the other side of the bed. , it is certainly impossible to sit back and watch. It is very likely that troops will be sent into the territory passing through, at least to gain some benefits. In this way, Shen Tang will have a more favorable say in the peace talks.
But the plan could not keep up with the changes. This time the peace talks were extremely smooth, but the situation in Xijing still exploded. However, it was another secret hand that detonated it.
Originally, in Shen Tang's previous thoughts, he did not want to be too involved in this war. In fact, he did not intend to let the two sides consume each other. If a crisis came, he was confident enough to take Wanyan Yue to safety. He left. However, Wanyan Yue's unreserved love for him made him change.
It was also at that moment that he made a decision.
In ancient times, beacon fire was used to play tricks on the princes, just to make Beauties smile! But now, Shen Tang doesn't mind following his example once and being willful. In the future, if there is a battle between Song and Jin, he can kill the Jin army without hesitation. However, This time, he didn't want the pitiable stupid woman who loved her to be sad!
The Xixia army outside Xijing is more or less, totaling 30,000 people! And the Jin soldiers in the city have a total of 18,000 people! In fact, if they fight to the death, they may not have the strength to fight. After all, no matter it is The five thousand Imperial Guards and the three thousand personal guards of Shi Liezhining are all elite divisions. However, if this battle really breaks out, even if it is won, it will definitely be a tragic victory and there will be no way to continue the fight. .
However, this battle in Xijing is just the beginning. Therefore, Shen Tang must keep this army with sufficient combat effectiveness.
The current situation seems to be very dangerous, but it just lacks a breaking point. The 30,000 Xixia troops outside Xijing were defeated, and more than 10,000 elite troops rushed to Xiashui Town. As long as the plan is proper, they may not be unable to cooperate with the troops there. Tens of thousands of troops will resolve the crisis in Xiashui Town. At that time, the Wanggu tribe of Fengzhou in the north was just a joke to contain He Shilie Zhining. In fact, if they got the news, I am afraid that they would not fight with He Shilie at all. Instead of fighting against Zhining, he will return directly.
Shen Tang led his people out of the North City Gate, and not long after they encountered the Xixia Army's scouting horses! However, there were only a dozen or so horses. Shen Tang and others charged and strangled them all, and then they It merged into the darkness and disappeared. When the Xixia detective horses arrived who heard the noise around them, they only saw corpses on the ground.
Shen Tang’s goal is Tong Town, Huairen County, south of Xijing!
Yes, it is exactly the place where Bamu was asked to deliver the letter.
When Shen Tang first entered Zhongdu, not only did Teng Wu and others have rushed to Xijing Road, but also Anye Pavilion had laid a trap here! And Tong Town, Huairen County, is just the closest one to Xijing .These messages were already known to Shen Tang when he and Mingyang first communicated the news after entering Zhongdu. Therefore, when he sensed the crisis before, he asked Bamu to pass the news over, in order to make Teng Wu and others are here on standby. Once something changes, they will become Shen Tang's trump card and rescue him and Wanyan Yue.
After making a big circle, the group of people galloped towards Tong Town in the south.
The distance between the two places was only two hundred miles, and Shen Tang and others were riding two horses, so they just changed horses and rested for a while. An hour later, before it was dark, they had arrived at Tong. outside town.
Tong Town was just a small town with short and dilapidated adobe walls. Shen Tang asked some people to stay outside the city to observe what was going on. Then, he led ten guards and entered Tong Town.
I don't know if it's because of the war, but there are very few residents in this small town. The street is clean, and there are almost no pedestrians.
Shen Tang and his party walked slowly along the only main street. Not long after, they saw the plaque of the 'Laifu' Inn! It was said to be an inn, but in this small town, it naturally wouldn't be that luxurious. From the outside From the looks of it, there is only a simple facade and a few slightly shabby wooden rooms.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Shen Tang stepped forward and knocked several times on the still closed door.
"Wait a minute..." A somewhat impatient voice came from it, "This early in the morning, what's your name?"
After a while, a door panel was moved away, and a sleepy-eyed boy poked his head out, "What are you doing..."
The words came to an abrupt end before he finished speaking! Shen Tang was okay, he put his armor on the horse and changed into a robe. However, the ten forbidden soldiers behind him were wearing armor and holding swords. What do you think? They don't look like they are easy to mess with.
"Open the door and call your shopkeeper!" Shen Tang said calmly.
"Uh... ok, ok!" Seeing this situation, the young man didn't dare to talk nonsense. He didn't care about other things and directly opened the two door panels to let Shen Tang and his party enter the hall.
"My lords, please wait a moment. I will call the shopkeeper right away!" After Shen Tang and others entered, the boy quickly ran to the lobby...
Not long after, the boy led a strong man over in a hurry. When the strong man saw Shen Tang, his eyes suddenly shrank. However, the next moment he returned to normal again.
"Ding Ming, you can go and do other things. I'll greet these gentlemen personally," the shopkeeper said.
When the boy heard this, he quickly turned around and left. These people were not easy to deal with at first glance, so it was safe to let the shopkeeper go.
"Does this guest want to stay in the hotel?" After the boy left, the shopkeeper asked.
"Yeah! Arrange a few rooms!" Shen Tang responded.
"Guys, please come with me..."
As expected, this inn is not big, with a few complete adobe houses being considered as the top rooms. Moreover, except for the occasional transient travelers who would stay temporarily, there are not many guests in this inn.
First, he led several guards into several houses, and then the shopkeeper led Shen Tang into a separate room.
After the two of them entered the room, the shopkeeper closed the door with his backhand. Then, he solemnly saluted Shen Tang and said, "Dark Night Pavilion Silver Medal Envoy Bai Chuan has met the Pavilion Master."
