Guo Song rushed back to Tiance Mansion, walked into the official room and asked, "Where is the information from Chang'an?" ”

One of the staff members stood up and saluted, "It has been placed on His Highness's table!" ”

Guo Song walked into the inner room and picked up a pigeon letter from the table, which was information sent by Chang'an.

During this time, Guo Song was very concerned about the movements of Chang'an, and after seizing Yuzhou, Zhu Zhu will definitely deal with it, but what Zhu Jun will do specifically, he is also waiting for news.

Guo Song opened the information and read it carefully, basically it was similar to what he expected, Zhu Zhu was going to retreat south from Shangluo Road and go to Luoyang first.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhu to put his fate in the hands of others, and he will definitely retreat east in advance, but what will he take with him? This is what Guo Song is concerned about.

When Guo Song saw the end, his face suddenly became gloomy, and the intelligence actually mentioned that Zhu Zhu was going to move away the 120,000 rich households in Chang'an, 'Bang! Guo Song hit the table with a heavy punch, and his heart was full of anger, he had already made concessions by letting him move the capital, and he actually wanted to destroy Chang'an.

In fact, Guo Song ordered the seizure of Yuzhou and blocked Zhu Zhu's road to the west, which was to prevent him from making a move to destroy Chang'an.

Guo Song walked a few steps in the room with his hands in his hand, and then came to the wall, looking at the map of Guanzhong on the wall.

He pondered for a long time, immediately wrote a warrant, went to the door and shouted, "Heiye, come here!" ”

Du Siye hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Please command, Your Highness!" ”

Guo Song asked, "Has the communication in Yuzhou been established?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the pigeon letter has not yet been established, but the eagle letter exchange has been established, and it can be sent directly to Ruxiang County."

Guo Song handed him the warrant, "Use the purple red letterbox to send an eagle letter to Yao Jin!" ”

Du Siye was taken aback, this is the first time this year to use the highest-level letterbox, the most urgent and the most important.

"Deal with it now!"

He took the warrant and trotted off.

Guo Song turned back and asked Wen Miao, "Where is Zhu Jun's envoy?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, they just arrived in Linfen County, Jinzhou."

Guo Song nodded, coming from Jinzhou, it will take at least seven or eight days to go, and there is still time.

.........

An eagle flew in the sky, crossed the Yellow River, flew over Ruxiang County, it circled twice in the air, and slowly landed on the eagle tower that had just been built in Ruxiang County.

The Eagle Slave took off the letter box from the eagle's leg and galloped towards the military camp outside the city.

Yao Jin was training the surrendered army of Yuzhou Guishun in the camp outside the city, and he was really surprised when he heard that Taiyuan had sent a purple-red letterbox, which must be extremely important information.

He didn't care about letting the scribe copy it, so he directly opened the slender pigeon letter note, the words were very small, but the back was stamped with the seal of the Jin King's warrant, which was the Eagle Letter warrant directly issued to him by His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

After reading the eagle letter, he turned back to his soldiers and said, "Go and ask General Yang to come over!" ”

After a while, Yang Shan hurriedly walked over, bowed and saluted, "What's the urgency of the general looking for me?" ”

"Let me ask you, I want to lead the army to Nanyang, how to get there?"

Yang Shan was taken aback, "What is the general doing in Nanyang?" ”

"To tell you the truth, I received an order from His Highness to blockade Shangluo Dao."

Yang Shan thought for a while and said: "The normal official road to Shangluo Road is to take Luoyang Road south, pass through Ruzhou to Dengzhou, and then go to Neixiang County to enter Shangluo Road. ”

Yao Jin shook his head, "I know about taking Luoyang Road, but it's too far over there, I want to take a small road, go south from Yuzhou and cross Funiu Mountain, is there a small road?" ”

"Take the path!"

Yang Shan scratched his head vigorously, "I remember that there is an Orion Trail that can pass through Funiu Mountain, but it is winter, and I don't know if there is heavy snow blocking the road, or ask Yang Xuanying, he should be clear." ”

Yao Jin was overjoyed, "How does Yang Xuanying know?" ”

"That kid has been restless since he was a child, and often goes to Funiu Mountain to hunt, I remember him showing off, he once went to Neixiang County through Funiu Mountain, it seems that this is the season, yes, it's New Year's Eve."

After a while, Yang Xuanying hurried over and bowed, "See General Yao!" ”

Yang Xuanying is now promoted to Lang General, commanding a thousand soldiers, and he has been extremely hard during this time.

Yao Jin asked: "I received a military order from His Royal Highness the King of Jin to rush to Shangluo Road immediately, and now I want to go through Funiu Mountain to Neixiang County, can I do it?" ”

Yang Xuanying smiled and said, "If General Yao takes me, he can do it!" ”

Yao Jin laughed, "Okay! I'll tell your men to pack up, and we'll be out in the afternoon. ”

..........

Funiu Mountain belongs to the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains, traversing from the south of Yuzhou, lying on the land of the Central Plains, the most important north-south passage of the Funiu Mountains is in Yecheng County, Dengzhou, there are dozens of miles of open passages, but in the reckless mountains, there are still many relatively hidden trails, generally only hunters and herb pickers know.

The Yang family is a world-famous family from the Eastern Han Dynasty, operating in the Hongnong area for nearly a thousand years, they also know everything about such a channel, Yang Xuanying had passed through Funiu Mountain a few years ago, but after a little time, he was afraid that he would forget, so he brought a Yang family's business manager, this steward is called Yang Jin, who is responsible for going to Funiu Mountain to buy fur, and knows all the trails of Funiu Mountain.

According to Yang Xuanying's arrangement, 10,000 cavalry brought ten days of dry food and a pot of wine, rode all the way south, and arrived at Lushi County three days later, which was the last county town to enter the Funiu Mountains, a mountainous county town, where the cavalry replenished their provisions, and entered the Funiu Mountain, which was covered by heavy snow, without hesitation.

It was a very difficult march, the march along a frozen stream, through the primeval forest, surrounded by towering trees, dimly lit and cold, and occasionally hungry beasts roamed around them, looking for opportunities to feed.

In the evening, the soldiers gathered, lit a bonfire, boiled some black beans in boiling ice water to feed the horses, and his dinner was burritos, salted jerky, and a cup of boiling broth.

Yao Jin sat in front of the bonfire drinking a pot of wine, and at a glance, he saw Yang Xuanying stroking his own weapon, which turned out to be a green dragon halberd, Yao Jin smiled curiously and asked, "General Xiao Yang also uses a halberd?" ”

"The last general originally used a gun, and only recently decided to use the Green Dragon Halberd."

"Why?"

Yang Xuanying was a little embarrassed and said: "The person who admires the most is His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”

Yao Jin laughed, "It's interesting, if you worship King Jin, you have to follow him with a halberd, General Xiao Yang, this is not good." ”

"I don't understand the humble position, I implore the general to solve my doubts."

Yao Jin smiled slightly: "Actually, we all worship him, and another commander, Ma Zhanjiang, was also like you, who switched to the unilateral Blue Dragon Halberd, and he couldn't move the Fang Tian Halberd, but he gave up in less than a year." ”

Yao Jin saw Yang Xuanying listening to his explanation intently, and he smiled: "I estimate that you don't have much actual combat experience, once you go to the battlefield, you will know that the front end of the weapon must be light, so that the speed of wielding can be fast."

The melee between the two armies, to a large extent, is to see whose weapon is fast, to see who stabs the other party first, why the gun is the king of weapons, the fundamental reason is that the gun head is light, if it is a heavy weapon such as a halberd, the pole must be weighted, otherwise it will be top-heavy, but the heavier the weapon, the more laborious, the dance will be slow, on the battlefield, one step slower than the opponent means death. ”

"I kind of understand the lowly position."

"Actually, you haven't fully understood!"

Yao Jin took his own weapon, it was a horse lance, he smiled and said: "I have two weapons, a horse lance, a three-pointed two-edged knife, when I sat in Dunhuang, I used a three-pointed two-edged knife, transferred back to the Central Plains, I switched to a horse lance, little brother, this is my experience in a hundred battles." ”

"Can the general explain why? Teach us experience. ”

At this time, more than a dozen young generals sat around, and they were all attracted by Yao Jin's introduction and sat around one after another.

Yao Jin said with a smile: "In the Western Regions, I am fighting with the Hu people, they are basically leather armor, and they can split their armor with a three-pointed two-edged knife, and the three-pointed two-edged knife has a wide front end, and the lethality of the split into the body is powerful, and it can kill the other party at once."

But after returning to the Central Plains, our opponents are basically wearing iron chain mail or iron scale armor, three-pointed two-edged knives are difficult to cut in, and can not be pierced, at this time it is necessary to use thin, sharp and thin, such as willow leaf-shaped weapons, horse lances, spears, guns can be pierced from the cracks of the armor, the disadvantage is that the lethality is not strong enough, the opponent is often able to continue to fight after being stabbed, at this time it is necessary to be fast, flexible, a few more stabs, the opponent will lose combat effectiveness. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, this is all valuable practical experience!

Yang Xuanying couldn't help but ask, "Then how did His Royal Highness the King of Jin use Fang Tian to draw a halberd?" ”

"He is different, the martial arts he practices are most suitable for using halberds, and he is powerful, lifting weights like light, he is the only one in the world, we must choose weapons according to our own characteristics, we must not blindly follow, it is a big loss, and even a small life will be lost."

Yang Xuanying's face was full of shame, and he got up and saluted: "Thank you General Yao for solving your doubts and waking up from your humble position, but you still decided to resume using your guns." ”

Yao Jin nodded, "That's right, everything must be pragmatic and choose according to your own conditions." ”

Before dawn the next day, the soldiers got out of their sleeping bags, packed their belongings, and after breakfast, got up and continued on their way.
