Chapter 60: Expedition to Yan Zhao

Luo Zhenguang, who had not spoken, suddenly said at this time: "Your Majesty, why don't you listen to the opinions of the Protector Immortal Masters on this matter?" If there is an immortal master pressing the formation this time, Beidi will flee from the wind, so why care about the number of soldiers and horses. ”

Xu Zhiyuan also bowed slightly: "Indeed, Luo Shangshu is right. The minister thought the same thing just now, but several immortal masters did not express their opinions, and it was difficult to speak. ”

All the officials bowed their heads one after another, and even Di Zhiqiu said: "Forgive the ministers for their courage, and I implore Your Majesty to invite a few immortal masters to make a move, which will benefit the country and the people." ”

After listening to Di Zhiqiu's words, Emperor Taiwu turned his head to look at the three of Changchunzi, and asked respectfully, "What do you think about the national teachers?" ”

Chang Chunzi said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, the strength of this Shatuo clan cannot be underestimated, and this area has conquered more than a dozen cities in dozens of days, which is quite unstoppable." It doesn't hurt for Poor Dao and a few Taoist friends to go to the formation, but the rescue soldiers and horses can't be too few. Although we have some means, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight hundreds of thousands of horses on our own. ”

Emperor Taiwu said with joy on his face after hearing this: "This is natural, the national teachers are the pillars of the country, naturally they can't take risks lightly, I will mobilize 50,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, and make Yang Tianjiao the chief of the marching road." The army was led by Yang Aiqing and followed the national division on the expedition. All matters on the road are controlled by the military division, Yang Aiqing, do you have any doubts? Yang Tianjiao knelt down and replied: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Emperor Taiwu looked at Zhou Moyang again: "What does Zhou Aiqing think?" Zhou Moyang made a gesture to Emperor Taiwu and returned: "Since receiving the reward from His Majesty, he has not built an inch of merit, since His Majesty has a life, he should share his worries for the Son of Heaven." I want to go overseas with my friends in Guangning two years to seek the path of immortality for His Majesty, and there are not many opportunities like this. Emperor Taiwu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Zhou Aiqing is polite." He turned his head to look at Danyangzi again. At this time, Changchunzi spoke: "Guangning Daoyou is not here, Danyang Daoyou should stay in the imperial city, so as to deter those young people who are about to move, the old man and Zhou Daoyou can go to this matter." ”

"Okay, since the real person who protects the country says so, this matter is decided. The top priority is to prepare enough grain and grass in advance, and Xu Aiqing must complete this matter within ten days. Luo Aiqing, this matter of transferring troops and horses from various counties also needs to be done as soon as possible. Emperor Taiwu made the final decision. Xu Zhiyuan and Luo Zhenguang knelt down to receive the order.

Watching everyone retreat and disperse, Emperor Taiwu sat quietly on the dragon chair, looking at the map, his heart was also full of ups and downs, for this expedition against the powerful Shatuo clan, his heart was very bottomless, and he could only hope for it with the two national teachers! Emperor Taiwu closed his eyes and thought. The soldiers are in danger! ……

Ten days later, in Luoshui City, in the midst of the farewell in the people's city, 70,000 troops left the capital and headed for Longxi County in the north. Twenty days later, after a short rest in Longxi County, the 70,000-strong army set off again, and soon entered the territory of Yanzhao State. Along the way, the army heard a lot of news that various counties of Yanzhao Kingdom had sent troops to Qinwang, and saw many small groups of troops coming and going to deliver news, and they were in a hurry. Yang Tianjiao, the general of Tiance, asked a group of scouts to pass on the news, and learned that the offensive and defensive battle of Black Rock City had begun, and the battle ahead was becoming more and more intense, and the Yan Zhao soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

In order not to delay the fighters, the 70,000 soldiers and horses were lightly armed and simple, and the grain and grass followed, but in ten days, they had already entered the boundary of the Black Stone City, the imperial city of Yan Zhao Kingdom. The terrain where Black Rock City is located is very flat for a hundred miles, and there are occasionally small hills and large areas of woods dotted outside the city, but the terrain suddenly rises on both sides of Black Rock City, forming two mountains that are difficult to cross, and the junction of the two mountains is Black Rock City. Since ancient times, this city has been a military stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and every time there has been a major war for thousands of years, it is a place where soldiers must take it. At this time, this city is the boundary, and the south is a steady stream of soldiers from the Yan Zhao Kingdom who came to King Qin, and the north of the city is densely packed with soldiers and horses of the Shatuo tribe.

When he was still two miles away from Black Rock City, Yang Tianjiao had his horses stationed there, and he accompanied Changchun Zhenren and Zhou Moyang to the city to meet Emperor Yan Hui. When I got close to the Black Rock City, I suddenly felt a solemn aura, the source of which was the dense green mounds on the mountains on both sides, without monuments and words. Hundreds of years ago, the former empire collapsed, the old ministers divided the country, and there were dozens of bloody battles here in Black Rock City, with thousands of dead, and the battle was tragic. Hundreds of years later, many of the mounds have been buried by dense weeds and trees, but if you look closely, you can still tell that they are graves, full of mountains and fields, and a gust of wind blows, which makes people shudder.

A few people hurried up, and in a short time they had already come to the bottom of the Black Rock City, the city wall was tall and magnificent, and its strength was not under Luoshui City, the city wall was made of heavy boulders, and rows of huge heavy crossbows and many defenders were placed on the wall. The city gate was wide open, and the two rows of soldiers guarding the gate stood on both sides with straight chests, their eyes were unwavering, because Yang Tianjiao had already sent soldiers to report, so the soldiers defending the city knew who was coming, and they had already knelt down on one knee and bowed. At the same time, a black-faced man in his early forties was riding out of the city, this man was of medium stature, his eyes were bright, and his expression was calm and serious, like a clay sculpture, without the slightest change in expression. The black-faced man bowed on his horse, and said thoughtfully: "The last general, Li Tianyang, has met with the Shangguo Changchun Zhenren, His Royal Highness King Anping, and General Yang. The matter was urgent, and His Majesty ordered the last general to go to the imperial city to discuss the matter, and there was no honor guard to greet him, and he asked for forgiveness. ”

"The war is urgent, don't use those cumbersome and false courtesies, General Li, please lead the way." Changchunzi nodded slightly. Zhou Moyang also smiled and waved his hand, he had already inquired about the situation along the way, Li Tianyang in front of him was quite talented in military affairs, but because he didn't understand the way of flattery, he was repeatedly not reused, and now it was because of the emergency in Black Rock City that Emperor Yan Hui had to use him to guard this place. Just seeing the appearance of these soldiers, he knew that Li Tianyang had a hand in governing the army, but Zhou Moyang had also heard that the Shatuo people were strong and strong, and their style was fierce, and this battle was only a tough battle!

Walking into the city, there are buildings on both sides of the wide road, because the war is coming, there are not many people left in the city, some of them have been evacuated to the southern counties, and the rest are also hiding at home and dare not go out easily, most of the people you see along the way are soldiers defending the city, and the atmosphere of slaughter during the war envelops the whole city.

It didn't take long for the three of them to be led by Li Tianyang to the Yikun Hall, the main hall of the Imperial City, the inside and outside of the hall were full of warriors in armor, the younger ones had tough expressions, their eyes were blazing, and they had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and the older veterans had a kind of calmness. At this time, there were more than a dozen generals in the main hall, standing on both sides, and a map of the situation around Black Rock City hung on the wall. In front of the map, stood a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a five-clawed golden dragon costume. This person's appearance and handsomeness have nothing to do with it at all, but his majestic temperament and the aura of a king who has been on the throne for a long time make this face quite strange, giving people a feeling of superiority. Needless to say, this man is Emperor Yan Hui.
