Chapter 244

In the north of Xining, the wind and sand have risen.

"General."

"General."

"General."

All the way up the city wall, Zuo Yuanfeng, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty of the Xining Dynasty, looked at the person in front of him who had been in the army for more than a month, nodded lightly, then turned around and looked into the distance, frowned and asked:

"Dou Ba, what's the current situation?"

That's right, the person standing on the northern city wall with Zuo Yuanfeng at this time is the same Dou Ba who joined Zuo Yuanfeng's tent with Zuo Yuanfeng's letter a month ago.

After Dou Ba's unjust case was rehabilitated, he returned to the north and was welcomed by the people of Beijing.

In fact, many people knew about Dou Ba's grain interception and disaster relief two years ago, but because of the government's obscenity, no one dared to stand up and say a fair word for Dou Ba.

Now, Dou Ba's innocence has been revealed to the world, and Wang Ning and others, who had embezzled disaster relief money and grain, have also been convicted, and the people in the north have been looking forward to these in their hearts, and they don't know how long they have been looking forward to it.

Now, under the rectification of Zuo Yuanfeng, the general of the town who arrived in the north a month ago, the north is now completely new, and the people feel that there is hope for the days ahead.

However, this joy only lasted for a month.

Zuo Yuanfeng looked at the Huiqiang military camp that was faintly visible in the distance, and his frowning brows couldn't be stretched.

"General, since I suddenly saw the Hui Qiang people stationed on my border three days ago, there has been no movement at all. Look at this ......" Dou Ba saw Zuo Yuanfeng frowning and looking at the Qiang people's military camp as if he was in deep thought, so he spoke.

Because of the letters of the left idiot. Today's Dou Ba is already a deputy general by Zuo Yuanfeng's side.

Two years ago, it was encircled and suppressed by the government. The brothers in Dou Ba's cottage scattered and fled without knowing where to go, and now, when those brothers heard that Dou Ba had returned to the north to become an officer, they couldn't help but come and run.

Although these people used to be grass cowards, Zuo Yuanfeng could see that these people had some kung fu foundation. What's more, these people have been hiding in Tibet for the past two years and have not been captured by the government. They should all have their own special skills.

Zuo's letter also said that if those people can be accommodated in the army, it will inevitably make the army in the north more flexible, and. As long as Dou Ba is there. With Dou Ba's current reputation, as long as it is properly managed, those who once fell into the grass and followed Dou Ba will inevitably become a new force in the northern army.

Zuo Yuanfeng has been governing the army for many years, how can he not understand this truth?

So after Zuo Yuanfeng saw Dou Ba, he accepted Dou Ba as a deputy general by his side.

And Dou Ba is indeed as Zuo Idiot said in the letter, very suitable for being a soldier. And Dou Ba himself, this month down. I also understood what I really wanted to do.

Zuo Yuanfeng was still frowning and staring ahead after Dou Ba's voice fell. But he opened his mouth and said:

"Dou Ba, did the scouts sent out bring back any news?"

When Dou Ba heard this, he immediately replied:

"General, according to the scout's report, there is no trend of continuing to increase in the Huiqiang military camp seventy miles away from the city gate, it seems that in the past three days, the follow-up troops have arrived, presumably, that's all."

Zuo Yuanfeng nodded and said:

"Has it stopped...... How many troops are there today? ”

"About seventy thousand." Hearing this, Dou Ba couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Huiqiang elite soldiers who could already make people feel the intent of slaughter seventy miles away, and also said in a deep voice.

"Seventy thousand...... A lot......" Zuo Yuanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper.

70,000 ......

It should be all the strength of the Hui Qiang clan now, right?

What is it that can make Huiqiang, a tributary state of the Xining Dynasty, dare to commit it with the strength of the country?

Why, at this time again?

Now there are only 20,000 troops guarding the border in the north, not to mention that in the past few years that Wang Ning has guarded the north, the army's training has been slack, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, although Zuo Yuanfeng came to the north this time with 3,000 elite soldiers, which is comparable to 10,000 ordinary troops, but ......

Seventy thousand, still too much.

Although Zuo Yuanfeng relied on his position as the general of the Zhenguo Kingdom, he had already sent his cronies to mobilize the elites under his command before he could report to the imperial court, but it was in the southwest.

Time, what is most lacking now, is time.

At this time, Zuo Yuanfeng couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, fortunately, the person who came to the north to guard a month ago was himself.

Even though the military strength has been greatly reduced, the army has resumed training in the past month, and it has still improved somewhat.

"General, what instructions does the imperial court have?" Seeing Zuo Yuanfeng's frowning brows, Dou Ba asked again.

In the past three days, Dou Ba has hardly seen any relaxed expression on Zuo Yuanfeng's face, and he knows in his heart that the garrison of Huiqiang on the northern border this time must be of great importance, and it is not trivial.

"It's only three days, it's still early." Zuo Yuanfeng said in a deep voice when he heard this.

This was the northernmost frontier of the Xining Dynasty, and even if you didn't sleep all the way, it would take at least four days, let alone go back and forth.

Even if the flying pigeon will greatly shorten the time, but this time the matter is the most important, where can there be the slightest leakage?

Therefore, at the moment, Zuo Yuanfeng knew that he could only wait.

However, Zuo Yuanfeng squinted at the Huiqiang military camp stationed seventy miles away, and couldn't help but ponder secretly:

I don't know, will the Huiqiang army, which has been assembled, be able to endure as he expected?

Zuo Yuanfeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and said to Dou Ba:

"Dou Ba, pass the order, anyone from the fifth rank or above, including from the fifth grade, after half an hour, to the general's account."

Hearing this, Dou Ba hurriedly replied:

"Yes, the last will obey."

Zuo Yuanfeng nodded when he saw this, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked down the city wall, but before leaving, he squinted and glanced at the Huiqiang military camp.

Dou Ba disappeared Zuo Yuanfeng's figure at the corner of the stairs of the city wall, couldn't help but sigh softly, and also turned around to look at Zuo Yuanfeng's appearance, squinting slightly at the seventy miles away stationed there, and now there are as many as 70,000 Huiqiang elite soldiers.

After watching it for a long time, Dou Ba still couldn't understand what Zuo Yuanfeng was thinking when he stood here, and couldn't help but say to himself:

"If only Lord Zuo were here."

For some reason, Dou Ba thought of Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er, who had not seen each other for more than a month, for no reason, and there was no reason, Dou Ba faintly felt in his heart that the Huiqiang people were suddenly stationed on the northern border, Zuo Idiot, must know something.

Dou Ba couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart the reason why Hui Qiang gathered troops here this time.

You must know that 'General Zhenguo' is not just a name, General Zuo Yuanfeng is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Xining Dynasty, and it is expected that he will definitely not watch Hui Qiang wave his army into the customs like this. However, if Hui Qiang strikes first at this time, they still have little chance of winning with 20,000 against 70,000.

However, why did the Hui Qiang people not make any action for a long time?

Are they waiting for something? (To be continued.) )
