Chapter 421: Mobilizing Border Soldiers

Since Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou, retreated to Jiangzhou City, he has not been in a good mood. Although the governor of Jiangzhou has always treated him like a guest, he still has a feeling of being under the fence after he stays.

The people who followed the king of Jiaozhou to retreat to Jiangzhou City, in addition to his military generals, there were also some civil officials, including the county commanders of Jiaozhou Zhizhou and Xiguan City, they were originally local officials, but now when they arrived in Jiangzhou City, they all had no real power, and they were naturally very depressed.

After Song Yuanyan came to Jiangzhou City, the only thing that made him a little happy was that he recruited two more Jianghu sects and a military advisor who could be used by him, that is, the Fengling San of the Imperial Spirit Sect and the Dugu Remnant of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. and the senior brother Youyangzi invited by the Netherchild.

The Fengling Sanren of the Imperial Spirit Sect and the Dugu Remnant of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect were naturally all introduced to the King of Jiaozhou by Shangguan Batian, the head of the Tianluo Gate, and Wan Qixing, the owner of the Spirit Castle.

They are friends who have known each other for many years in private, and this time, Tianluomen heard that the various factions in the rivers and lakes got together and went to Jiaozhou to destroy Tianluomen. Therefore, he also moved ahead of schedule and followed the king of Jiaozhou to Jiangzhou City. However, he felt that his collusion with the Heist Valley and the Spirit Castle seemed to be a bit weak, and it was difficult to fight against the various factions in the rivers and lakes. So, he found the head of the Imperial Spirit Sect in Jiangzhou, who had known him for many years, Fengling Sanren and the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Dugu Remnant, and persuaded the two to follow the king of Jiaozhou to do a great career together.

In this way, the two factions reached an agreement with their own sect through the aspect of the king of Jiaozhou, and they were tied to the same front. The reason why Shangguan Batian tried his best to match this matter was to help the king of Jiaozhou on the one hand, and on the other hand, to pull two alliances for himself.

There was no palace in Jiangzhou City, so Jiangzhou Zhizhou had to give up the Zhizhou Mansion where he lived before, and he himself bought another house to live in.

In recent days, the king of Jiaozhou has been living in the Zhizhou Mansion, chatting with Shangguan Batian and the heads of several Jianghu sects every day.

These leaders of the sect all occupy a certain position in the rivers and lakes, so they are also very self-paying in conversation, and when it comes to dealing with the enemy army, they can all blow the cow into the sky, which made Song Yuanyan once think that what they said may be all true!

For example, the Fengling Sanren of the Imperial Spirit Sect boasted that he didn't need an army, and he could destroy the opponent's army by driving away some insects and animals. And Dugu Remnant of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate said that he only needed to take advantage of the night to go around the opponent's enemy camp to poison all the opponent's tens of thousands of troops.

And Shangguan Batian and Wan Qixing, who had suffered losses, were very cautious when they spoke, they knew that there were also high-ranking people in the enemy camp, and they should not be underestimated.

Chatting with these heads every day made the mood of the King of Jiaozhou, who was once disappointed, gradually improved, especially the big words of Fengling Sanren and Dugu Remnant, which added a lot of confidence to him to turn the tables.

On this day, they were sitting in the hall of the Zhizhou Mansion chatting as before, when suddenly a horse from outside the door came to report that Jiajiang City had been occupied by the enemy, and the large array set up by the military division did not stop the enemy's army.

Hearing the news, Song Yuanyan was not much surprised. He had long known that with the little strength of Jiajiang City, he would not be able to stop the attack of the enemy's tens of thousands of troops.

And what surprised him was that what kind of big array the military advisor put up would be easily cracked by the enemy, which was indeed a little unbelievable.

Does the other party still have the same talent as the military advisor?

The tanma who had come to pay the news had just gone down, and then another guard came back and forth, saying that the city had sent someone to deliver the letter.

Song Yuanyan hurriedly called the messenger to the hall, and after he took the letter and read it, his heart was also pumping.

He couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, military advisor, military advisor, what are you making trouble about? If I had that 50,000 troops, I would have sent them to the front line to stop the enemy, so why would I let the enemy occupy two cities in a row?

Then he saw Youyangzi say that he was going to put up a powerful array, Song Yuanyan twitched his nose and said in his heart, if your big array is really powerful, it will not lose Jiajiang City.

Then, Song Yuanyan thought about it again, if he didn't send troops to reinforce Nadu Li City at this time, the enemy army would definitely take Duli City soon, in that case, the other party could directly come over and attack Jiangzhou City.

In order to block the enemy army, the king of Jiaozhou had to consider Youyangzi's strategy of setting up a formation to block the enemy.

But do you have a choice?

The answer, of course, is no, and he has no choice but to pin his hopes on the great array of military divisions.

So, after thinking about it and thinking about it, he finally made a decision to mobilize border troops and go to Duli County, where the military division Youyangzi commanded to block the enemy's attack.

After thinking about it, Song Yuanyan immediately issued an order: order the border generals to lead their soldiers, abandon the border pass, and arrive in Duli County within three days to gather.

After this order was issued, many of Song Yuanyan's generals were shocked when they heard it, and this decision was clearly to give up the border pass, if the Great Tubo Kingdom took the opportunity to attack, he would have no power to resist at that time.

Soon, some generals spoke out to stop Song Yuanyan from doing this.

But Song Yuanyan had already made up his mind, and naturally no one could persuade him.

For the king of Jiaozhou, he had no choice but to sit and wait for Xiao Ding to lead his troops to kill him, and capture or kill him in Jiangzhou City; Either make a desperate bet, give up the border pass, and use the border soldiers to block the attack of Xiaoding's army, there is still a glimmer of life.

What his generals thought of, he could naturally think of himself, but at this moment, he could only gamble, betting that the Great Tubo Kingdom would not send troops to attack Jiangzhou at this time.

In this way, after he blocked Xiao Ding's troops with side soldiers, he could have a chance to turn the tables.

After Song Yuanyan's order was issued, the generals in the border area were all shocked. Many of them have been on the border for many years, and they are military generals of the Great Song Kingdom, and when the governor of Jiangzhou took refuge in the king of Jiaozhou, he also sent them a letterhead, asking them to be loyal to the king of Jiaozhou in the future, otherwise, they will be cut off from logistics and supplies.

These border generals were subject to the control of others and had to agree to follow the governor of Jiangzhou to join the king of Jiaozhou. After all, all large armies need logistical supplies such as food and ordnance, and if the logistics are cut off, it will be difficult for a lone army to survive in the border city.

And this time, they also received an order from the king of Jiaozhou, asking them to abandon the border pass and directly lead their troops to Duli County to gather. This made them very resistant in their hearts, but the military order was like a mountain, and they didn't dare to refuse. They also don't know what the consequences will be if they do so.
