Chapter 457: Elm is Besieged!
The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter!
The day when the snow melted came a little slowly, after all, it was the northwest, and it wasn't until March that the weather warmed up.
And Song Wensong, who has long been holding back his strength, can't wait to get ready to go!
Song Wensong brought 5,000 cavalry with him on this trip, and there were 10,000 foot soldiers, which was almost all his belongings, and he left Lu Zheng to defend the city with only 8,000 foot soldiers and a thousand-man cavalry.
For Song Wensong, this is a big gamble, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountain, and when he is leaving, he and Lu Zheng ride side by side, saying:
"Second brother, I will never forget today's hardships for the rest of my life! If I had had been able to retreat a little, I would never have made such a decision.
Elm County is our foundation, if the elm is lost, it will become a rootless grass from now on, and the future will be even more difficult! ”
Lu Zheng said lightly: "You handed over the talisman to me, and I will naturally try to keep the elm as much as possible." Besides, I don't have cavalry under my command, and even if I want to escape, I can only be defeated, and I can't do such a thing until I have to! ”
He paused, took a breath of cold air and said: "You have no choice, I am the same, I am a Jiangnan Jieyuan, but now I want to lead the troops to resist the enemy, hehe, this is completely to catch ducks on the shelf, and only a bold and reckless person like you and me can have such an arrangement, haha......"
Lu Zheng laughed, Song Wensong also laughed, and said: "I, Song Wensong, have suffered a lot in my life, although I have a humble background, but I have always been above the top, and I don't look down on ordinary people at all."
It is also my blessing to be able to meet such a wonderful person as my second brother in the northwest, you and my brothers do not know each other, and now we need to work together to get through the difficulties together, which is rare! I won't say much superfluous, let's cherish each other! He squinted behind him and lowered his voice and said, "Anyone who does not listen to orders will be killed!" ”
After Song Wensong said this, he clamped the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch quickly rushed forward. And the guards behind him kicked up dust in the vast desert.
The pontoon bridge of the Kan'er River has been built, the soldiers of Haohao Tangtang stepped on the pontoon bridge, and after crossing the Kan'er River, they stepped into the land of the Turks, and Song Wensong led a few thousand horsemen into the Hulun grassland, which always seems to have some tragic taste.
As he himself said, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, he would definitely not make this decision, he would be a rootless duckweed, and once the elm was besieged or even lost, Song Wensong and his army might never think of a way out except starve to death on the grassland......
……
In the twenty-first year of Xinde, on February 18, the Chamu Banner under the jurisdiction of the Thousand Households of Temur under the Turkic Hekuotai Tent was captured by the cavalry of Song Wensong, and thousands of cattle and sheep were lost.
On February 18, the 21st year of Xinde, the Tiemu Banner under the jurisdiction of Tasila Qianhu under the Hekuo Tai Tent was captured by Song Wensong's cavalry, and countless cattle and sheep were lost......
In one day, the Hulun grassland was full of smoke, and the army led by Song Wensong was like a no-man's land on the vast Hulun grassland.
In the new year, the Northwest Army changed its previous defensive strategy, turned defense into offense, and rushed thousands of miles to attack.
"Song Wensong, is this a death and a later life? Hehe, I'm afraid that the result will be to steal chickens and rice, through this incident, I think the northwest is not monolithic, the rift within the Lu family has been highlighted, and the time is ripe for the imperial court to solve the problem in the northwest! "Cabinet deliberations, auxiliary ministers, Wuyingdian University scholar Duan Tang Lin talked eloquently.
As he spoke, everyone's eyes were on Dai Gao, as the first minister, Dai Gao held great authority in his hands, and Dai Gao was often needed to take ideas about a national policy like this.
Solving the problem of the northwest is what the imperial court and the emperor have always desired, but for so many years, because of the continuous war in the northwest, coupled with the self-respect of the two families of Qi and Song in the northwest, the imperial court has been jealous.
Now that there is a situation in the northwest, the Lu family is unstable, and it seems that there is a good opportunity to solve the northwest problem.
Dai Gao's expression was unwavering, he was holding a piece of white jade in his hand and playing with it unwillingly, as if he hadn't heard Duan Tanglin's words at all.
Duan Tanglin looked embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said, "Lord Shoufu, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Dai Gao snorted coldly and said, "The order of Yumu County is surnamed Lu?" This Lu Zheng was originally from Jiangnan, but after going to the northwest, he became a fine man, and he even became a brother with Song Wensong.
Looking at their actions this time, it is indeed ridiculous, but it is not ruled out that they have other schemes, Lu Zheng, have you all heard of it? ”
"Ah......" Everyone in the cabinet exclaimed, their faces changed, Lu Zheng Everyone naturally knew that he offended Dai Gao, the prime minister, and did not allow him, he just went to the northwest, and now he is tied to Song Wensong, no wonder Dai Gao's attitude is so subtle.
"Lu Zheng is a person with a high level of talent and great poetry. But how much can he understand about the war in the northwest? There is no power to restrain the chicken, even if it is a little mediocre, I am afraid that it will be difficult to show its prominence in the northwest.
Song Wensong, a concubine in the Song family, can hardly get the help of the family, he is good friends with Lu Zheng, and he values Lu Zheng, which is completely a desperate move to seek medical treatment. I think that elm wood will be broken sooner or later, and when the time comes, haha, even if Song Wensong and Lu Zheng don't die, they will inevitably die at the end of the world......"
Most of the ministers in the cabinet are the only ones who look at Dai Gao, which is also the root of Dai Gao's being called the minister of power. In the cabinet, the auxiliary ministers originally needed to supervise and check each other.
However, Dai Gao continued to exclude dissidents, those who obeyed me prospered and those who disobeyed me died, and his opponents in the cabinet were eliminated one by one.
Everyone knows the story between Dai Gao and Lu Zheng, and now when they heard that Lu Zheng and Song Wensong were mixed up in Yumu, everyone attacked them in groups for a while, forgetting the previous theme.
After a bit of sycophancy, Dai Gao said: "Okay, this matter has just begun, and there should be a follow-up soon." The Turkic Hekuo is not an easy person, how can he not see through the tricks of the two yellow-mouthed children? ”
"Lord Shoufu is right, not to mention that Hekuotai is very likely to be connected with the two brothers of the Song family. Within the Song family, the brothers Yan Wall, Song Wenhua and Song Wenjie are not good friends, they want to put Song Wensong to death, they must do everything, I think there will be a side newspaper soon......"
"Report! Eight hundred miles northwest to expedite the military situation! Someone shouted outside immediately, and the dare to love is the twist and turn of the military department has arrived again!
Auxiliary minister Duan Tanglin immediately went to get the excerpt, and the excerpt was brought in, he looked at the contents, took a deep breath, closed the excerpt and said: "Xiangye is clever, hehe, just said that the surname Lu is hanging, and now the excerpt is here!"
A large number of Turkic iron cavalry were found around Yumu County, and Hekuo Taiqin led 20,000 elite soldiers to besiege Yumu County, a small Yumu County, only a few thousand foot soldiers, the county town has experienced a series of wars, and the city wall has long been unusable, in such a situation, how to defend the city? ”
Su Xinghai's eyes flashed, and he said: "Yumu County is finished, Lu Zheng is going to be martyred, Song Wensong is about to become a rootless duckweed, the chaos of the Song family is about to be born, and the northwest has become more and more interesting!" ”
The two auxiliary ministers spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was lively, and for a while, everyone said a word, and I said a word, but ignored Dai Gao's mood at this time.
They talked happily, and when they were most excited, they heard a doorman outside: "Xiangye, hello to go......"
The discussion in the room stopped abruptly, and Su Xinghai and the others found out that Dai Gao had gone out, they looked at me, I looked at you, looking at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Besides, Dai Gao came out of the cabinet and went to Xiyuan to order a mao, and today the emperor was really not free, so Dai Gao went out of the palace gate listlessly, and at the door, the sedan chair was already waiting for him.
Perhaps seeing Dai Gao's ugly face, several guards looked nervous, the sedan chair went straight to Dai's mansion, and walked to a very secret corner, and a carriage with the same shape as Dai Gao appeared at this time, Dai Gao frowned slightly, and the essence in his eyes flashed.
The sedan chair and the car were staggered, stopped at the same time, the curtain of the car was lifted, Lu Changhe's polite face was still so familiar, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said:
"I didn't want to move, Xiangye finished his errand so early today, it's rare!"
Dai Gaopi said with a smile: "What's even more rare is that it's no coincidence that I can meet Lord Lu here, why?" Is there anything wrong with Lord Lu? ”
Lu Changhe smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see the adults and see your complexion!" ”
Dai Gao snorted coldly and said: "My complexion is very good, Lord Lu, the little bastard you protected last time is probably in big trouble now, the elm is surrounded, he can't fly with wings, this little guy may never see the rising sun in the capital, haha......"
Dai Gao laughed, a little smug appeared in his smile, Lu Changhe said: "Xiangye, the person I like Lu Changhe naturally needs to go through some tests." The matter in the northwest is a test, if Lu Zheng really dies like this, then die, and I won't be much sad.
What's wrong? Xiangye, I lost the city because of this today, do you want to go back to the mansion early to celebrate? I'm afraid that once your girl knows about it at this time, there will be trouble again! Haha......"
Lu Changhe laughed, Dai Gao's expression became extremely ugly, and he stared at Lu Changhe coldly: "Lord Lu, you have to keep some virtue when you speak, don't just take advantage of your tongue." The death of the man surnamed Lu will have more advantages than disadvantages for me after all, but it is just ...... Okay, let's not talk about it, Lord Lu won't send ...... when he leaves."
Dai Gao lowered the sedan curtain, the sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair again and swayed forward, Lu Changhe's carriage disappeared behind, Dai Gao's smile gradually faded, and his expression became a little heavy......
