Chapter 65: The Dilemma
The whole capital began to panic again due to the riots in Yanbian State, after all, Tongzhou is not far away from the capital, and there are many relatives and friends there.
Lin Zhichong had already led the army to the battlefield and officially started the battle in Shuiling Town, Tongzhou.
Tongzhou is the largest state in Yongchang and occupies a huge corner to the north. The natural environment here is very unique, and the wind is raging all year round. In its central area, there is a huge area of yellow sand, which separates Tongzhou into two places.
Outside the boundary of Shuiling Town is this large area of yellow sand, no matter who is on both sides, they have to jump over this yellow sand to attack each other. At this time, it is the windiest time of the year, and the yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and it is really difficult to make out the direction. Therefore, this yellow sand land is not only a blessed land for Shuiling Town to avoid invasion, but also a huge obstacle for the army to regain the lost territory.
Lin Zhichong found many local people in Shuiling Town who were familiar with this sandy land as guides, and tried many times, but he never managed to get through this piece of yellow sand, and he was afraid that the other party's surprise attack would make the whole team mess up.
Because the experienced garrison troops on the Huangsha side have been beaten back to a town called Loulan Town, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they can only seek self-protection, and it is difficult to cooperate with the rescue army.
Lin Zhichong had to lead his army across this natural barrier and then regain Hanyan Town, the first town outside the Yellow Sands, before he could reach Loulan Town to rescue the garrison army. In other words, this battle was deliberately done by Yanbian State, and it was the benefits brought by this natural barrier, so it immediately took half of Tongzhou while Yongchang was not paying attention.
There are many strange mountains on the other side of Tongzhou, which are very rich in medicinal materials, cattle, sheep and horses, and most importantly. Rich in gold mines.
Unlike Xuzhou, Xuzhou is rich in silver mines, while Tongzhou is the most resourceful of the major gold mines in Yongchang, where a large number of gold mines are unearthed every year. Fortunately, this year, the mining of the gold mine has been carried out almost completely, and most of the gold has been shipped back to the capital. Emperor Longqing's anxiety is also here. Because the loss is incalculable. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Yongchang.
So, except for Lin Zhichong's team. There is also a special unit, which has been slowly approaching from the flank.
These are all the dark guards of the two teams of Qinglong and White Tiger under Emperor Longqing, and they are also the two troops with the highest combat power in the dark guards.
There are nearly 500 of them, and this time they are responsible for invading Hanyan Town from the side. Help the army get out of this predicament.
Emperor Long Qing looked at the map on the case, and glanced at Zhou Chenyu who was guarding the door from time to time. There was always something flashing in his eyes, and he shook his head and didn't make a sound.
About half an hour later, the secret letter finally came, and Emperor Longqing opened it to take a look. His face changed dramatically.
On the side of Tongzhou is Yanbian on one side and Pingzhou on the other, and Pingzhou is a small state. Next to its Fengqing Town is Hanyan Town. Because the area of Fengqing Town is not suitable for the garrison of large armies, it is extremely easy to defend. It was difficult to capture, so Lin Zhichong still led the army to Shuiling Town in Tongzhou, and the two teams of White Tiger and Qinglong took a long detour to Fengqing Town in Pingzhou.
However, the news that came at this moment was that Yanbian Guo had already expected reinforcements from Fengqing Town, and had already sent troops to guard the border of Hanyan Town, and it would take time for the special forces to capture Hanyan Town. After all, Hanyan Town, as an important part of the same residence, its city is also very strong, and the troops of Yanbian Country are almost concentrated here this time, so the special forces are also tied up. Their difficulty lies in the huge disparity in numbers.
"Chenyu, what do you think of this incident?" , Emperor Longqing finally opened his mouth and directly named Zhou Chenyu's name.
Zhou Chenyu has already flown to the battlefield with a heart now, if nothing else, all the Qinglong warriors he personally trained are now rushing to the battlefield, and he is very worried.
"Back to the saint, the minister thinks that this time the first thing to take down Hanyan Town is to rely on assassination!" , different from the fight against Xuzhou, the battle of Xuzhou, almost no wounded soldiers, was recovered safely. Moreover, Emperor Yun will not slaughter the people, and the people of Xuzhou are also extremely stable. And now, Yanbian State still doesn't know if it will treat the people well, and the news from Loulan Town is extremely limited, and it is all at great risk to his life. Therefore, to capture the thief and capture the king first, you must take down the generals of Yanbian State stationed in Hanyan Town.
A smile flashed in Emperor Longqing's eyes, "Are you worried about the Blue Dragon Secret Guard?" ”
Zhou Chenyu quickly glanced at Emperor Longqing, and then quickly lowered his head, "Yes!" After all, the minister grew up with them and had great feelings! In this war, the minister was worried about ......"
"Chenyu, is there a strange thing that I stripped you of the position of captain of the Blue Dragon?" , Emperor Longqing's tone could not hear joy and anger, and the expression of his eyes was extremely calm.
Zhou Chenyu knelt on one knee, "Don't dare!" The decisions made by the Holy Beings must be well thought out, and the ministers will not dare to speculate, let alone speak falsely, nor will they oppose them. ”
Emperor Longqing raised his eyebrows with some surprise, "After getting married, I am really much more mature!" Although it is impossible for you to go back and take over Qinglong again, but this time the situation is urgent, you go back and think about what other good ways to do it! The difficulty of the yellow sand, the difference in the number of people, is really ...... It's just an assassination, and I don't want the white tiger to take such a risk. ”
"Obey! Be sure to think about it when you go back! Although Zhou Chenyu was a little disappointed in his heart, he was very happy to be able to participate in it. The bottom of his eyes darkened, and it seemed that he had to discuss with Ke Xiyuan when he went back.
After Zhou Chenyu left, Emperor Longqing sighed, "What does that little girl think?" ”
Faithful Bofu
After listening to Zhou Chenyu's narration, Ke Xiyuan couldn't help but take the map and look at it carefully, frowned and said, "In other words, the two teams of Qinglong and White Tiger are now trapped here, and even if it is assassination, it will be very dangerous; And on the other hand, you can't cross the yellow sand, right? ”
Zhou Chenyu nodded, he also knew that recently, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were thinking about how to cross the Yellow Sands, and few people knew that Emperor Longqing had sent another team.
Ke Xiyuan was a little surprised, Zhou Chenyu would share these things with her. Before, the fierce quarrel between the two was nothing more than Zhou Chenyu's belief that women should not have too many ideas, and should rely on men in everything. I don't want to, this time, I would talk to myself like this for the first time.
Ke Xiyuan thought that when the two had not yet married, they often discussed something together. But after the two got married, Zhou Chenyu's machismo was slowly reflected.
Now, being able to discuss problems with myself proves that each other is one step closer. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and his eyes became softer and softer when he looked at Zhou Chenyu.
Zhou Chenyu couldn't help but touch his face, "Could it be that something grows on my face?" ”
Ke Xiyuan snorted and handed the supper prepared by Luo's mother to Zhou Chenyu, "Eat something first, and then think slowly!" ”
Zhou Chenyu didn't care what it was, he took it and ate it, muttering while watching, "How can you let the 100,000 army cross the yellow sand land together?" ”
"They must be thinking about how to prevent us from crossing the yellow sands! After all, as long as they stick to Hanyan Town, half of Tongzhou is in their pocket, and they no longer have to look at Yongchang's face. ”
"That's right, so now the general is afraid that there will be an ambush over there! Although Yanbian is not necessarily familiar with the yellow sands, at least they don't have to rush to find out. And we must find out quickly! The people over there are really worrying! Zhou Chenyu's hair was pulled a little messy by himself.
Ke Xiyuan thought about it, looked at the map again, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the satellite device in the new century!
Neither of them was silent, letting the time flow between their fingers. It wasn't until Ke Xiyuan listened to Zhou Chenyu muttering how the moat at the bottom of the city walls of Fengqing Town was also garrisoned, Ke Xiyuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at the map carefully, and said with a smile, "I probably have a way!" ”
Ke Xiyuan and Zhou Chenyu stood in front of Emperor Longqing, it was already late at night. Emperor Longqing didn't expect that Zhou Chenyu would directly bring Ke Xiyuan over. He knew that Zhou Chenyu was not a wise general, and Ke Xiyuan really gave him too many surprises in the battle in Xuzhou. It's also a mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to have results.
"I want to know what kind of way Yuanyuan can be done." , Emperor Longqing also knew that this battle could not be delayed any longer, and the people and resources over there were all urgent. The solution must be thought of immediately, otherwise it is very likely that half of Tongzhou will be lost forever. Everyone knows that Tongzhou is divided into two sides, and if the storage of the yellow sand land on that side is not recovered, it is very likely that the Yanbian State will gradually send troops to completely occupy it. At that time, the loss will be strict!
Ke Xiyuan said with a smile, "I'm a woman, and the way I think of is not in the stream. But I still want to give it a try! ”
"Yuanyuan, but it doesn't hurt to say it! can save the people from fire and water, I remember your work! Emperor Longqing couldn't imagine that such a boudoir woman would think of any good way.
"Returning to the saint, the courtiers noticed that there was no water source near Hanyan Town due to the yellow sandy land, and the adjacent Loulan Town was the Neicheng River. There is only one reason why they occupy the moat of Fengqing Town, and that is the water source! Since the start of the war, Ke Xiyuan has read a lot of books and understood the construction of several surrounding towns.
Emperor Longqing's eyes lit up, "Yuanyuan continued!" ”
"The courtiers think that as long as they add a little material to the moat and ensure that they do not flow into Fengqing Town, then they may be able to increase the chances of the Qinglong White Tigers attacking. The courtiers learned that there is a grass called Fengyou grass in Fengqing Town, which can be used as medicine to relieve internal difficulties on weekdays, but if a large amount of input is made, it will cause diarrhea. Although Ke Xiyuan didn't learn the art of solving Gu after following Chen, he had a primer on medical skills. In addition, she likes to read some miscellaneous books, and she actually understands the uses of many exotic herbs. All herbs have two sides, one side can harm people, and the other side is to save people!
The smile on Emperor Longqing's face slowly bloomed, "Has that Yuanyuan ever found a way to the yellow sand?" ”
Ke Xiyuan smiled, nodded, and explained his method carefully.
The dawn broke, and the two secret letters set off from the capital and were sent to Fengqing Town and Shuiling Town respectively. (To be continued)
