Chapter 880: Hold your ground
The next day, before Zhou Tiankai could react, Li Ping left the exit of Baifeng Valley with his 1,000-feather forest army.
When the 1,000-feather forest army reappeared, it had already reached the entrance of the White Peak Valley. Although the entrance of Baifeng Valley was also guarded by the soldiers of the Northern Qi army, they did not dare to confront the Yulin army, so they could only report to Zhou Tiankai quickly.
After Zhou Tiankai got the news, he twisted his eyebrows and asked, "What is Li Ping doing there?"
The soldier who delivered the message replied: "Back to the general's words, Vice General Li is leading the Yulin Army to dredge the passage at the entrance of Baifeng Valley. ”
When Zhou Tiankai heard this, he nodded and said, "Let them go, presumably they want to go in from the entrance to save the Seventh Prince." However, entering from the entrance, it was about ten miles away from the trapped place of the Yulin Army, and when Li Ping led people to dig there, he was afraid that he would have to collect the corpses for them. ”
However, what Zhou Tiankai didn't expect was that two days later, a large army transporting disaster relief materials also arrived.
More than 2,000 Yulin troops worked together, and it took only three days in total to dig up the entrance to Baifeng Valley. In addition, a steady stream of disaster relief resources has been sent to the White Peak Valley.
Zhou Tiankai was very puzzled by Li Ping's behavior. However, there is only one way to the county seat in northern Xinjiang, and if Li Ping does not forcibly pass through Baifeng Valley, he can only go home.
However, another situation made Zhou Tiankai very uneasy, because although the Yulin Army sent disaster relief materials into Baifeng Valley, Yulin Army retreated from Baifeng Valley again.
Zhou Tiankai wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing, could it be that the people from Baifeng Village promised to lend Zhou Tianqi?
The road to the exit of Baifeng Valley has not yet been opened, but on the other side of Baifeng Village, Fu Mingye has already taken all the officials and guards of the Beijiang County Ya, as well as hundreds of young and strong herdsmen, hunters, and dart masters of the dart bureau at the north exit of Baifeng Village.
The 500 Yulin troops trapped in Baifeng Valley, under the leadership of Xiao Wu, first cooperated with the Yulin Army outside to open the entrance of Baifeng Valley, and then sent truckloads of disaster relief materials from the sandwich crossing of Baifeng Village.
After Zhou Tiankai got the news, he took a large number of Northern Qi troops to the exit of Baifeng Village, wanting to take the opportunity to attack it.
However, he was stopped by the people who came from the county town in northern Xinjiang. In the face of hundreds of old and weak women and children, the Northern Qi army had no choice but to watch from afar as truckloads of disaster relief materials were transported out of Baifeng Village.
Zhou Tiankai was so angry that he shouted, and said, "All the soldiers obey orders!"
Thousands of Northern Qi troops responded in unison: "Obey the general's order!"
Zhou Tiankai commanded loudly and arrogantly: "All the soldiers obey the order! From now on, I will guard this place well, and no one will be allowed to go out from here except for the people in the northern county town and disaster relief materials." After all the grain is transported into the county town of northern Xinjiang, we will attack Baifeng Village with all our might!"
"Yes, the last general obeys the order!" several generals and lieutenants of the Northern Qi army replied loudly, and their voices shook the sky.
Listening to Zhou Tiankai's meaning, he hated the Yulin Army together, surrounded the Yulin Army and the gang of Baifeng Village in Baifeng Valley, and ordered a siege.
However, the delivery of disaster relief materials was still carried out in an orderly manner, and neither the Yulin Army nor the Baifeng Zhai gang took Zhou Tiankai's threat to heart.
The delivery of disaster relief materials was carried out from morning to nightfall, and the people happily followed the county order to send truckloads of grain and winter quilts to the county town in northern Xinjiang.
At this point, although Zhou Tianqi and his 500 Yulin troops were still trapped in Baifeng Village, their task had been completed, and the disaster relief materials had been transported to the county town of Northern Xinjiang, handed over to Fu Mingye, and distributed to the people of Northern Xinjiang.
Zhou Tiankai ordered people to call for battle outside Baifeng Village, and threatened to raze Baifeng Mountain in the name of Baifeng Village detaining the Seven Princes and 500 Yulin Army.
Bai Feng Zhai did not show weakness, he simply calculated and replied loudly: "If you dare to attack Bai Feng Village, we will first take your Seven Princes to open the knife, it's a big deal to break the net!"
As a result, Zhou Tiankai didn't dare to act rashly. Although he thinks that Baifeng Village is just a lie and threat, if he really sends troops to attack Bai Feng Village, he will definitely be impeached by those imperial historians.
The imperial historians will say that he disregarded the life and death of the Seven Princes, that their brothers killed each other, and that he borrowed a knife to kill people.
Just when Zhou Tiankai felt a headache, a holy decree came from the capital, saying that the emperor had sent Mr. Qiu Mingqiu to preside over the matter. Next, the rescue of the Seven Princes was fully responsible for Mr. Qiu, and even the Yulin Army led by the General of Northern Qi and Li Ping had to accept Mr. Qiu's orders.
On the second day after the Divine Decree was attained, Qiu Ming arrived at the entrance of the White Peak Valley.
The entrance to Baifeng Valley has been opened, and Li Ping is stationed at the entrance with the Yulin Army.
Li Ping had already received instructions from Lin Wan from the capital, asking him to cooperate with Mr. Qiu's work as much as possible and obey Mr. Qiu's orders.
And Qiu Ming, on the way to the county seat of Northern Xinjiang, had already received the emperor's holy decree and also received the help of the Shadowless Pavilion.
Qiu Ming couldn't help but secretly admire Lin Wan in his heart, Lin Wan not only helped him rush to Baifeng Valley within three days, but also made his trip justifiable, and he also held great power.
After Qiu Ming came to Baifeng Valley, he first met Li Ping and learned about the situation. Then, he went to see Zhou Tiankai again, hoping to persuade him to withdraw from the army.
Outside Baifeng Valley, in the tent of the general camp temporarily built by the Northern Qi army, Zhou Tiankai and Qiu Ming were sitting opposite each other.
Zhou Tiankai looked at Qiu Ming, who looked calm and breezy, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart, frowning and asking, "Mr. Qiu, do you have any special instructions before your father asks you to come?"
Qiu Ming smiled faintly and nodded: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the reason why the emperor asked me to come is naturally to let me take over from you to complete the task." ”
Zhou Tiankai was shocked, and blurted out: "Mr. Qiu can't lead the troops to fight, what's the use of my father sending you?" Moreover, it's not that I can't capture Baifeng Village, but because the seventh brother is in the hands of those people, I can only stand still." ”
Qiu Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "Because of this, the emperor sent him forward." Because the current problem can no longer be solved by force. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Tiankai also felt that what Qiu Ming said was reasonable, nodded and said, "Then according to what Mr. Qiu said, what should this general do?"
Qiu Ming also thought about it and said, "Don't be in a hurry in this matter, please ask the fourth prince to withdraw first." After we rescue the Seven Princes and the five hundred Yulin Army, we will consider the long term, how about it?"
Zhou Tiankai couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Qiu Ming to let him withdraw as soon as he came. Moreover, he kept saying that he wanted to rescue Zhou Tianqi first.
Could it be that the first task of the order given by the father to Mr. Qiu was to rescue Zhou Tianqi and the five hundred Yulin Army?
