Chapter 406 Mao Ping's thoughts

After Wei Nan took control of Chang'an, he immediately went north to clean up the rebel forces.

Most of the capitals in Xijing Road were waiting for the wind to fall. A few days ago, the army arrived in Anding. The defenders in the city were Jiang Gong's confidants.

You can't settle down by clinging to it.

Wei Nan has been attacking Anding for three days.

Originally, we were almost able to blast through the Anding city wall today, but after fighting for a while, we discovered a cavalry force of 5,000 men coming from the north.

"The front army is holding Anding City, and the Chinese army immediately forms a formation to block the incoming enemy!"

Although five thousand cavalry came to attack, Wei Nan did not panic.

With 300 cannons and 2,000 muskets in hand, as well as auxiliary equipment such as deer antlers and horse ropes, there was no fear of cavalry charges.

The Fuxing Army quickly changed their formation and set up a large formation outside Nanding City, waiting for the rebel cavalry to come and die.

"The former army will give me more firepower! Don't give An Ding a chance!"

"yes!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The former army's fifty tiger squatting guns and ten cannon batteries continued to bombard the city, so much so that even the defenders of Anding City did not dare to raise their heads.

Wei Nan sent out several more waves of scouts to find out about the cavalry.

Not long after, Tan Ma turned back and brought two "bandit troops" to Tan Ma.

"General. Tan Ma Xiaoqi brought back two people and said they wanted to see you!" The guard came to report.

Wei Nan was stunned. Are you here to surrender?

One or two people did not need to meet him at his level, but those two people directly said that they wanted to see the general, saying that they had important things to report.

Wei Nan got the report and frowned, thinking about what was important.

"Bring them here, and I'll see what they have to say." Wei Nan waved his hand.

Soon the two tied-up guys were escorted up.

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as the two of them arrived in front of Wei Nan, the sound of cannons rang out from Anding City behind them.

From this location in Weinan, you can watch the battle below the city.

The two people clearly saw the debris flying on the city wall from the cannon attack by the Crouching Tiger, and couldn't help but tremble.

"Tell me, why do you want to see me?" Wei Nan asked, staring at the two of them.

"General! Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We are our own people! We are our own people!"

The two men shook their heads and shouted. The Crouching Tiger Artillery had brought a great impact to them, and they really did not want to become enemies of the Renaissance Army.

"One of our own?"

"That's right! We are the northern frontier army. My general, Zhonglang, Mao Ping, has personally commanded five thousand elite troops, and has come to assist His Highness the King of Jiangzhou in wiping out the bandits!"

"Northland Frontier Army?"

Wei Nan was stunned. He hadn't heard anything about the border troops for several years, but they suddenly appeared at this time.

In the north of Anding City, Mao Ping led his people to a high ground, where they could see the battle situation in Anding.

The roar of artillery is shocking.

Mao Ping and the cronies of the other three families are still worried.

At the same time, I am also grateful for the move to go south.

Otherwise, when such a magical weapon hits them, they will not be able to resist it.

"Report! Wei Nan, the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Northern Expeditionary Army, invites General Mao to meet at the camp!"

The envoy came back and brought an invitation from Wei Nan.

At this moment, Mao Ping hesitated again and asked Wei Nan, the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Northern Expedition.

Mao Ping didn't know this person. If he went to someone else's territory, if he fell out, he would be in trouble.

But now that we have reached stability, we must continue on this road.

After much hesitation, Mao Ping finally decided to go to the Fuxing Army camp to meet Wei Nan.

Although the cronies of the other three families did not want to meet in their military camps.

But Mao Ping took the lead, and they had to follow.

Mao Ping only brought twenty guards with him on this trip. The closer he got to the position of the Renaissance Army, the more he could feel the chilling atmosphere.

Mao Ping, who had been among the troops all year round, could tell at a glance that the Fuxing Army was extremely powerful.

The aura on their bodies and their straight and upright bodies showed that they were elite soldiers.

Going further, Mao Ping saw the legendary Crouching Tiger Cannon. He had seen it from a distance before, but this time he could see it clearly.

The black hole of the muzzle is indeed breathtaking.

"General Mao! Please!" Several generals greeted him with fists clasped outside the military camp.

These people saw that their official uniforms were only those of rank six or seven generals, but Mao Ping did not dare to make excuses and greeted these people with a smile.

Under the guidance of the general, we passed through the layers of Fuxing Military Camp and finally arrived at the Chinese Army tent.

Outside the Chinese army's tent, Wei Nan was waiting there neatly dressed.

"I have admired the name of General Mao for a long time, and I am honored to meet him today!" Wei Nan said, clasping his fists.

Although he was the Commander-in-Chief of the West Route Army, Wei Nan's actual position was only the Commander-in-Chief of the East Route Army in Shannan, which was half a rank lower than General Zhonglang.

When Ma Ping saw Wei Nan's official uniform, he knew that he was half a level higher.

But it is not enough for him to lead the Western Route Army Commander-in-Chief with real power, and to lead the Zhonglang General himself.

"I've heard that General Wei used his troops like a god! I've admired him for a long time!"

Two people who have never met and never heard of each other started a business model of mutual bragging...

After some polite greetings, Mao Ping was welcomed into the army, Wei Nan took the main seat, and Ma Ping was naturally the guest.

"General Mao, are you going south this time because you want to be loyal to the prince?" Wei Nan said to the center.

Mao Ping was stunned. This guy spoke too directly.

How do you answer this? No? Then you won’t be beaten!

The answer is? The conditions haven’t been negotiated yet!

"Um... I have an old relationship with the prince, so I came here to meet you."

Mao Ping did not talk about the question of yes or no, but brought up the relationship with Song Yang.

"Oh? We have an old relationship with the prince? Then why haven't we seen the border troops going south these years?" Wei Nan didn't give any face.

If the Northern Border Army, an army of 150,000 men, had pledged their allegiance to Song Yang earlier, the disaster in the Northern Territory would have been over long ago.

Maybe the people in the North can now live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

After hearing Wei Nan's words, Mao Ping was suffocated.

After a long while, Mao Ping sighed and said: "Alas! I have long been loyal to the prince, but the north is remote, and there is Luo Xin's bandit army in the middle. If I rush southward, I will definitely be blocked."

"Oh? That's it!" Wei Nan curled his lips and pretended to be surprised.

"May I ask, Governor Wei, if I can go to Jiangzhou to meet the prince?" Mao Ping asked, cupping his fists.

He didn't want to say anything to Wei Nan. He had to go directly to Song Yang to negotiate terms.

"Want to see the prince? The prince is not in Jiangzhou. Now the prince is heading to the front line of the Central Army, and he is probably going to Kaifeng soon." Wei Nan said with a smile.

"Arrived...to Kaifeng?" Ma Ping was stunned.

The last time we received news, Xinyang was captured. Now that Song Yang is going to Kaifeng, does that mean Kaifeng has also been captured?

"Yes. The Central Army is now stationed in Kaifeng and will soon cross the river and head north to annihilate the remaining forces of the bandit king Luo Xin." Wei Nan said bluntly.

"So fast!" Mao Ping was shocked again.

He thought Luo Xin wanted to guard Kaifeng for a while.

In fact, Luo Xin ran directly north of the Yellow River.

If Luo Xin is wiped out, the most their frontier troops can do is mop up the remaining small Kajia that are escaping.

If you can't get rid of this thing at all, how can you negotiate terms with Song Yang?

"No! We must take action immediately! Once Luo Xin dies, the bandits will break up! That means there will be no merit to be gained!" Mao Ping made up his mind.

"Captain Wei! Our border troops are determined to help the prince assess his rebellion. The army will move south soon. Why don't Governor Wei leave Taiyuan to us to fight?"

Ma Ping was so anxious that he started to fight for his life.

Wei Nan curled his lips and said, "That's fine. Our army has been a little tired after months of fighting in the Northern Expedition. If the frontier army can capture Taiyuan and present it to the prince, the prince will definitely look at the frontier army with admiration."

"Where is the prince..." Mao Ping was still thinking about meeting Song Yang.

Wei Nan smiled and said: "It's time for the border troops to move their troops and move south. I'll send a letter to Kaifeng immediately. General Mao can temporarily go north with our army to clear the inner roads of the pass. Since the news of the prince, if you want to see you,

I will send you to Kaifeng."

"This is good!"

Mao Ping could not go to see Song Yang immediately, and had to go south as soon as possible to grab the credit.

After weighing the left and right, we can only unify Wei Nan's approach.

Wei Nan also immediately wrote a letter to inform him about the border army.

At the same time, Mao Ping also wrote a letter and sent it to Kaifeng in a lacquer seal together with Wei Nan's letter.

After the letter was sent away, Wei Nan smiled and said to Mao Ping: "Since we are united, you and I can take down Anding City together."

"General Mao, I will leave the north of the city to you!"

Wei Nan was not polite and directly mobilized Mao Ping's five thousand people.

Mao Ping now has to wait for Song Yang's reply and can only be willing to listen to Wei Nan's orders.

Wei Nan felt happy, five thousand cavalry, free labor is coming!

As for the Northern border troops attacking Taiyuan to gain credit and so on.

Wei Nan didn't care at all.

If they really attack Taiyuan, they can save some effort.

As for the risks of growing the border army?

Wei Nan didn't care anymore. Within the range of the artillery, all enemies were young!

In the afternoon of that day, Mao Ping and three close relatives watched the spectacular scene of 300 artillery attacking the city at close range.

Before dusk, the southern city wall collapsed under the cannon fire.

This scene will never be forgotten by Mao Ping and his three close relatives.

This method of fighting completely subverted their understanding of war.

The difference in weapons generation also completely shattered their original self-confidence.

Mao Ping even regretted that he made some seemingly "excessive" demands to Song Yang.

But his heart had been sent, and Mao Ping could only wait anxiously for Song Yang's reply to arrive.



Song Yang got up early on the first day of the Lunar New Year and didn't sleep well last night.

The wind and snow were too heavy.

A sudden blizzard started falling in the middle of the night, and strong winds caused the windows to rattle constantly.

The temperature dropped sharply, making it so cold that it was impossible to sleep.

The soldiers also had to get up to add more firewood to the stove.

In the morning, the wind and snow gradually stopped. When I opened the door, I found that the yard had been cleaned.

However, there was a thick layer of snow on the road outside, with a depth of twenty centimeters.

"Your Majesty! Urgent report from Shannan Road!" Cui Qiang came holding a letter with one foot and one foot.

Song Yang took the letter, and there was no other color on the paint, indicating that he was neither happy nor worried, and could only be regarded as an ordinary matter.

Song Yang wondered, how could this kind of thing be considered an urgent report?

"My lord, have a wonderful New Year!" Yu tomorrow morning will come to wish Song Yang New Year's greetings.

"Haha! Happy New Year! You came just in time. Wei Nan sent a letter, and we just wanted to take a look at it together." Song Yang shook the letter in his hand.

"I guess it's a New Year's greeting letter."

Yu Ming saw that it was a colorless letter, and since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, he thought it was a letter of New Year greetings.

"Maybe, but it's quite thick to hold." Song Yang said and opened the letter smoothly.

The envelope was torn open, and there were two lacquer-sealed letters inside.

"Huh? Two letters?" Song Yang poured out the letter and was stunned.
