Chapter 194: Arriving at the Dry Ferry

Two hours after Yaoling left, another soldier came to report: "General, there is someone outside the door who asks to see you." ”

Qin Yang frowned again. "Who?"

"The person who came claimed to be Prince Yanlong. ”

Suddenly standing up from the chair, Qin Yang's old eyes flashed with a clear and extinguished light. After a moment, he commanded in a deep voice, "Please"

After a while, a white figure walked in outside the door, slender and elegant, it was Chang Yueming, the prince of Yanlong.

Qin Yang looked at the moonlight in front of him like an overseas cyclamen, and Ren is face was calm, and he couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"There is news from the imperial capital, His Royal Highness Prince Yanlong Ming has returned to Yanlong to assist Dalong in attacking the Ji Kingdom, how did he get to Liuguan?" he asked lightly, hiding all the expressions in his eyes.

Yueming took out the jade plate symbolizing his identity from his arms, handed it to Qin Yang, and then replied lightly: "I came for Jiang Li's Princess Rongyu." Before Qin Yang could ask him again, he continued to say shallowly: "Prince Molong*. was attacked in the imperial capital, Princess Rongyu went to Molong with him in order to save Prince Molong. This war is about the alliance between the Kingdom of Ji and Molong, which is not good for Dalong, so I gave up going to Yanlong and chased after it, just so that I could work with Princess Rongyu to help Prince Molong quell the rebellion of Molong and break the union between Jiguo and Molong. ”

After listening to Yueming's words, Qin Yang didn't respond in time, but just quietly floated a strange light in his eyes. As the chief general of the border pass, he has long understood how the Molong and the Thistle Federation will cause an unfavorable situation to Dalong. Being able to make Molong mess up inside himself is, of course, beneficial to Dalong and harmless.

When the sun was about to set, a soldier came to inform Yaoling and the others. You can leave Liuguan tomorrow.

Hearing the news, Bayin, Pearl and the others breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, they looked at Yaoling's eyes with a look of joy and sincerity.

On the evening of this day, Yaoling fell asleep deeply, and seemed to hear the melodious flute sound in her sleep.

"Cold Moon," she screamed shallowly in her dream.

Fengzhao walked along the majestic and steep mountain roots on which the city wall of Jiguo rested for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the cooler his heart became, and he wanted to climb over this mountain, for ordinary soldiers in the army, it was like climbing to the sky, although he could climb over it, but. No matter how deep a person's skills are. There is also a limit, how can it compete with an army.

So in his heart, he gave up the idea of attacking the country of Ji from here.

When the sun was in the west, he led his army out of the camp of the Thistle Kingdom.

On the way back, he stood at the front of the car and saw a flying horse coming from the direction of Yongguan in the distance. The horses were fast and the dust was splashing.

The brows were slightly twisted together. There was a hint of thought in his eyes. After a moment, he whispered to himself, "Dry Ferry." ”

"Report to the Deputy Commander. The general ordered you to hurry back to the city. Again, things need to be discussed. The face of the soldier who came immediately was dusty.

General Wu ordered to go down. The soldiers marched at a hurry. I'm one step ahead. After the order, he shook his hand and got into the car.

The "snap" horsewhip sounded in the air, and the three horses pulling the cart galloped with four hooves at the same time, and they ran far away in the blink of an eye.

In the last rays of sunset. Qin Yuan was dressed in a military uniform, his face was full of anxiety, he kept wandering back and forth outside the East City, looking in the direction of the Ji State camp from time to time.

The anxiety on his face eased when he heard the galloping sound of horses' hooves.

"Huh" Liao Zeru saw Qin Yuan waiting at the city gate, and hurriedly stopped the carriage.

"How's it going?" Qin Yuan asked as he got off the carriage.

"The army can't attack from here. Feng Zhao's face was stern.

Qin Yuan had a knowing expression.

"Is there any movement over there?" asked Shun Fengzhao again.

Qin Yuan nodded, "Kudu just sent an urgent message, let's go back to the barracks." As he spoke, he hurried back to the city.

In the barracks, Qin Yuan took out an urgent document from the closet and handed it to Fengzhao.

Stretched out a jade hand to take the letter, and through the dim candlelight in the room, Fengzhao looked at it carefully.

The letter was written by Wu Bo, the chief general of the dry ferry port, and the specific content is as follows: "The general is well, today there are about 30,000 soldiers of the Ji Kingdom and the desert dragoon gathered under the city of the dry ferry port, according to the report of the horse, the total number of soldiers of the two countries is about 50,000. Our garrison is only 20,000 people, and the strength is a little tight, so I ask the general to send troops to support. ”

Packing the letter, the wind shone slowly in the middle of the ground.

At this moment, a large number of desert dragoons and the army of the Ji Kingdom will appear at the dry crossing, could it be that the two countries have begun to officially launch an attack on Dalong? He thought secretly in his heart.

But for some reason, I always feel that something in my heart is not suitable.

It has been more than a month since the war began, but why are the two countries joining forces to attack the dry crossing now?

He walked slowly, his mind thinking very quickly.

Qin Yuan didn't stop him from looking at him.

After walking two steps, he stopped and asked Qin Yuan after the case: "What does General Qin think?"

Hearing his question, Qin Yuan replied, "Yuan is just a little curious, the war has been going on for more than a month, why did it just start fighting and running at first, and now it is only starting to fight on a large scale?"

A pair of bowed eyebrows were also slightly wrinkled, and there was deep confusion and incomprehension in their expressions. It turns out that he also has such doubts.

In the end, the two of them reached a consensus that Fengzhao would lead an army of 20,000 troops to Kudu Port to assist General Wu Bo. Originally, according to Qin Yuan's intention, he wanted to send another deputy general to lead the army to support, but in order to avoid Qin Min, Feng Zhao asked to go to Kudukou, and by the way, he also wanted to know more about the situation at Kudukou.

When the moon was in the sky, Feng Zhao led the army along the north wall of Yongguan to the dry ferry port.

Because only soldiers and horses can be walked on the city wall, but not carriages, so Qin Yuan gave Fengzhao the horse he sat on, and because Fengzhao's equestrian skills were excellent, he arrived at the dry ferry when the sky in the east had just risen a tree high.

At this time, the city wall was already full of soldiers, and everyone was nervous and strict with bows and arrows in their hands.

A medium-sized sergeant about forty years old heard Feng Zhao's arrival, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Feng Zhao: "The last general, He Chang, has seen the deputy commander. ”

"He Changchang" silently repeated the name. Feng Zhao's heart seemed to be lightly knocked by something. A pair of Junyi's cold eyes couldn't help but look at the person in front of him twice.

I saw that the person in front of me looked like an ordinary literati, wearing a military jacket and a green cloth robe, and his expression was rigorous and serious.

"He Jiangjun is from the dry crossing..."

"The last general is the deputy governor of the dry crossing. He Changchang was busy introducing himself to Fengzhao.

"Well, where is General Wu?" Feng Zhao asked lightly, withdrew his eyes from He Chang's face, and walked towards the battlements of the city wall.

"General Wu stayed in the city tower yesterday and did not sleep all night, so he will go back to the barracks to rest for a while. He Changchang, who was following behind him, answered his question.

When I came to the battlements of the city wall, I looked down. I saw that under the city wall were soldiers who could not see the black pressure at a glance, and the soldiers in the front row held a one-man high shield, and a catapult had been set up behind them.

looked at the downstairs of the city, but asked softly: "How many years has General He been in the army?"

"Sixteen years. He Chang replied. A pair of eyes looked down at the wind with a hint of confusion.

Fengzhao was in no hurry to ask about the battle. At the battlements of the city wall he looked at for a moment. And he walked forward on his legs again. He hadn't gone far when there was a wheezing sound behind him and the sound of a running run. You don't have to look back to know that the person who comes must be the main general of the dry ferry - Wu Bo.

Sure enough, the person who came ran to Fengzhao, stopped and was not in a hurry to salute Fengzhao. Instead, he stroked his chest with his hand. There was a big gasp for a moment. Only then did he clasp his fists and salute to the wind: "Wu Bo, the main general of the dry ferry, paid a visit to the deputy commander. "He spoke in a somewhat nasal voice.

Feng Zhao looked at the short and fat Wu Bo in front of him with a pair of handsome and deep eyes, without any expression on his face.

"General Wu is exempt. ”

The fat Wu Bo took the saluting hand and took out the Jinpa from his arms. Wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"General Wu ran a little way, just so hard, how to fight?" A lukewarm sentence was given to Wu Bo, who was wiping his sweat, and he continued to move forward.

Hearing Feng Zhao ask, the short and fat Wu Bo smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, the war is on a horse." His answer made Feng Zhao cry and laugh a little in his heart. The personalities of this Wu Bo and Wu Xiang are very different, and they are a happy person by looking at their faces.

"I don't know how many soldiers did you bring this time?" Wu Bo, who was following behind him, forgot Fengzhao's cold words in a blink of an eye, and asked Fengzhao in a thick nasal voice, he was just concerned about how many soldiers were coming to support him now.

"20,000 people, I don't know if General Wu thinks it's enough?" Feng Zhao asked coldly.

"Enough, enough. I don't know if Wu Bo didn't hear the dissatisfaction in Feng Zhao's words, or if he heard it, he pretended not to understand, in short, he wasn't worried that the deputy commander would make the adult angry.

"My lord, do you want to go downstairs and take a break?" He Chang diverted the topic from the side.

"Don't worry," Feng Zhao said lightly, and after looking at the soldiers standing solemnly on the city wall, he continued to ask: "I wonder if the two generals know who the soldiers and horses of the Ji Kingdom are?"

"It's the old general of the Ji Kingdom, named Ma Chenggong. Wu Bo hurriedly introduced.

"You see it's the one. As he spoke, he pointed to a jujube red horse among the soldiers of the Thistle Kingdom under the city wall, a lean, a veteran fifty miles away. Fengzhao's eyesight is excellent, and under Wu Bo's fingers, he has already seen the Qiqi of this Ji Country commander clearly. I saw that the veteran had a handful of goatee in his hand, and he was also looking at the castle tower.

The three of them walked forward for a long time, and Wu Bo pointed to the soldiers under the city wall and said, "This is the territory of Molong, and there are all Molong's cavalry below. ”

Feng Zhao looked down and saw that those tall and burly, wild on horses, the desert dragon people were not as neat and strict as the army of the Ji Kingdom, on the contrary, they were all wearing heavy cloth robes and riding on horses casually, looking up at the city wall.

When they saw Fengzhao and the others, many of them raised their bows and arrows: "Oh, oh, oh," in a demonstration, their faces full of excitement and rudeness.

Some soldiers shot an arrow at the castle tower with their bows and arrows, but because of the distance, the arrow fell again before it reached the city wall.

The commander of the Molong also wore the same costume as ordinary cavalrymen, except that two wolf tails were inserted in his hat. Therefore, Feng Zhao recognized the leader of the desert dragoons at a glance.

It was a middle-aged man with a rough and swarthy face. looks powerful and rugged, and on a big cake face is a pair of extremely incongruous small bean eyes. I saw that he also squinted and looked at the castle tower. (To be continued......)
