Chapter 449: Take Him Home
Shen Leng had already led the naval division back to the south, and got the news of the death of Tie Liuli, the general of Northern Xinjiang, on Chishui, and at the moment he saw the military report, Shen Leng stood on the deck of the warship and was silent for a long time.
In the Daning army - meritorious, the highest is the general.
A general who has guarded the northern Xinjiang of Daning for 20 years, crisscrossed the battlefield, and made the black martial arts in the northern Xinjiang fearful, died in such an unknown way?
The military newspaper only wrote that the general died in ambush, and did not make it clear the beginning and end, and it was still under investigation, and there was no conclusive conclusion, but the death of the general must be notified to the imperial court as soon as possible, so there were not many words on this urgent military newspaper.
"Dewey, take your people to Baishan Pass."
Shen Leng turned his head: "If Meng Changan knows the news, he will return to Northern Xinjiang, but if he guards Baishan Pass, it will be a capital crime if he leaves his post without permission, and personal feelings are not allowed before the national law and military law, you go and stop him, no matter what method you use, stop him, tell him that I will help him find out the murderer of the general, and I will revenge him for him, and make it clear to him, Your Majesty promised me half a year of special leave, and I am not considered to leave my post without permission, but he can't." ”
Chen Ran stood beside Shen Leng: "The soldiers do not leave the main general, even if the general returns to Chang'an on special leave, we will also follow, so we will naturally follow the general when he returns to northern Xinjiang." ”
Shen Leng nodded and turned around and shouted, "Wang Gendong." ”
Wang Gendong hurriedly came over: "General." ”
"The sailor will go to the country of Qiao to continue to deliver supplies as planned, and there is no delay, and you will act as the commander of the patrol sea."
Shen Leng looked at the fleet behind him: "Divide three Fubo to me, Wang Kuohai, and order 1,200 people to follow me back to Northern Xinjiang." ”
Wang Gendong wanted to persuade, but he knew how could he persuade him?
Shen Leng took 1,200 soldiers and took three Fubo to turn around and return to the northern frontier, and seven days later he had arrived at Hanhai City, the waterway was not connected to Hanhai, and his ship stopped at the port of the ship nearly a hundred miles away.
Wu Xinyu was in Baicheng at this time, a large number of border troops were mobilized, and at least seventy or eighty thousand people had forgotten the direction of Baicheng and gathered.
Say that Wu Xinyu is more cautious and calm, and say that Wu Xinyu has a better view of the overall situation and knows more about the importance of things.
It was Tie Liuli who died, a general in Northern Xinjiang, and his father-in-law!
Where is there any prudence and calmness, where is there any seriousness, where can we endure this hatred in the sea of blood!
Shen Leng could imagine what Wu Xinyu looked like at this time, just like these border soldiers in Hanhai City at this moment, they were originally covered in silver, and everyone was wearing white clothes at this time.
Hanhai City.
The prince Li Xiaoshan welcomed Shen Leng in, and the two walked side by side.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I haven't checked the details too clearly, but I probably already know."
Li Xiaoshan's eyes are also red, obviously he has been crying a lot in the past two days.
"Your Majesty gave the general a decree, let the general change the strategy of the black martial arts in northern Xinjiang, and instead divide and win over those small tribes that were suppressed by the black warriors, these days, the general has been sending people to contact the Gogoer Division, a branch tribe of the Sak tribe, half of the cavalry in the Heiwu border army comes from the Sark tribe, and the Gogoer Department is a relatively large tribe among the Sak tribes, the most important thing is that the Ejin Gobul Tie of the Gogoer Department still defected to the Heiwu from our Daning grassland back then."
Li Xiaoshan said as he walked: "The general sent someone to contact Gobul Tie, there has been a great progress in bringing the entire Gobul Er Department over, a while ago, the general secretly met with Gobur Tie twice, the two of them discussed, at the right time, Gobur Tie led his troops to cooperate with the general to break through the law city, the general promised to let Gobur Tie be the lord of the law city, guard the north for Daning, and allow the Gobur herdsmen to return to the grassland. ”
Shen Leng stopped: "Gobul Tie backtracked? ”
Li Xiaoshan said: "I don't know how the matter was known by the black warriors, the general of the black border army Liao killed the wolf to kill the Gobul Tie, after the general got the distress letter of the Gobur Tie, he personally led thousands of iron horsemen to go to the Gogo Brother's department, and killed the black warrior border army who killed the wolf in one fell swoop, but I don't know what happened on the way back, Gobul Tie assassinated the general, and then fled. ”
Shen Leng looked at Li Xiaoshan: "General Wu Xinyu is going to take revenge?" ”
"Yes."
Li Xiaoshan said: "Brother Guo's department is almost four hundred miles away from Baicheng, and General Wu wants to kill it." ”
"I'm afraid there's a trap."
Shen Leng went back to get on the horse: "I won't stay in Hanhai City for more, I'll go to Baicheng." ”
More than a thousand elite horsemen followed Shen Leng into the city from one side and rushed out from the other side, arriving at Baicheng a few days later.
When Shen Leng saw Wu Xinyu, his heart seemed to have been cut by a knife, he was a man with a calm temperament and a bit of Confucian temperament, and when he was separated, he was still so good-looking, and when he saw him again, it was like a different person, and he didn't know that he hadn't washed his face for a few days, and the whole person looked so gloomy, and the bloodshot in his eyes made his heart hurt for a while.
"Where are the bones of the general?"
Shen Leng asked the first sentence.
"It is rumored that in the Gogo Child's Department, he was snatched away by Gobul Tie and brought back."
"Gotta get it back."
This is Shen Leng's second sentence.
Wu Xinyu's face obviously softened a little, if Shen Leng persuaded him not to act rashly, I was afraid that Wu Xinyu would have exploded at this time, he had listened enough, and countless people had persuaded him, but it was useless.
Some people say, don't be impulsive, if you lead the army to attack the Guogeer department, the black warriors will inevitably suffer heavy losses if they set up an ambush again, even if the black warriors do not ambush, the general mobilizes so many troops to attack the black warriors, the court will not allow you, the general is dead, the general will inevitably take over the post of the general, so when it is critical, the general should not destroy his future.
Wu Xinyu only replied at that time: "The general treats me like a son, and I regard the general as a father." ”
Now the general's body is still in the hands of the enemy, let him endure it?
"If tens of thousands of troops attack directly, I am afraid that the enemy will be prepared for it, and I am worried that it will insult the body of the general."
This is Shen Leng's third sentence.
Wu Xinyu's face changed: "What does General Shen think it should be?" ”
"The general will lead the army to fight as he wants."
Wu Xinyu didn't understand what Shen Leng meant: "Let's be clear." ”
Shen Leng said: "In any case, the body of the general can't always be on the side of the black warriors, the general has been guarding the northern Xinjiang for twenty years, which is the belief of the northern border army, not only the general you regard the general as your father, I am afraid that all the brothers in the northern Xinjiang also have the same feelings, the general has gathered seventy or eighty thousand border troops, and he is ready for a war, so he will continue to march according to the general's preparation." ”
Shen Leng looked into Wu Xinyu's eyes: "Please allow the general to allow me the right to lead troops to the battle in the northern Xinjiang, and I will take my people out from the flanks." ”
Wu Xinyu reacted immediately, over the years, Heiwu and Daning have confronted each other in Northern Xinjiang, who doesn't know whom? Therefore, Liao Killing Wolf naturally knew that the seventy or eighty thousand border troops that Wu Xinyu could gather at this moment was already the limit, but he definitely didn't know that there was still a naval division of more than 1,000 soldiers arriving, and Shen Leng meant that he came to be a strange soldier.
"Your people are not adapted to the weather in northern Xinjiang, nor are they adapted to the war in northern Xinjiang."
"I'll get used to it."
Shen Leng asked, "When does the general plan to march north?" ”
"The day after tomorrow."
"Then the day after tomorrow, I have two days to get used to it."
Shen Leng clenched his fists: "General Meng Changan's old scouts are still there?" ”
"Yes."
"Please send me a hundred men, please general."
"Okay."
The conversation between the two men was extremely brief, without a single superfluous word.
And at this moment, less than two miles away from the military camp on the border of Baicheng, on a stone tower in the city, Sumeru Yan was wearing a white cotton robe and squatting on the highest floor of the stone tower, looking at the camp with clairvoyance.
For more than a year, Shen Leng has been in Southern Xinjiang and he is in Southern Xinjiang, Shen Leng is in Eastern Xinjiang, Shen Leng is in Eastern Xinjiang, Shen Leng is in Northern Xinjiang, he is also in Northern Xinjiang, originally Shen Leng returned and he also returned, and now he has followed him to Baicheng, he is like a shadow that even Shen Leng himself doesn't know, staring at Shen Leng all the time in the shadows, constantly looking for suitable opportunities.
The scholar Mu Zhaotong has not left home since returning to Chang'an City from Dongjiang, and the scholar's wife was invited to the Tingwei Mansion once, although no one came after that, but His Majesty announced in the court that the scholar was unwell and wanted to recuperate at home for a period of time, and everyone knows how long this period of time is, I am afraid that the scholar will never be able to enter the cabinet door in the future.
His Majesty hasn't moved the scholar's wife yet, just to give the scholar the last bit of decency.
Sumeru knew that when the scholar left the cabinet and returned to his family, his life would probably come to an end.
An old man who is accustomed to being busy all day long, an old man who is used to living in the center of the DPRK power, once he returns home and becomes idle, his heart is not steady, not calm, how long can he live?
"In any case, you have a nurturing grace for me."
Sumeru muttered to himself, "Before you two die, I will help you fulfill your wishes." ”
He snorted and scolded in a low voice for the damn weather in northern Xinjiang.
Shen Leng returned to his team and brought Chen Ran and Wang Kuohai in.
"The death of the general has not yet been investigated, among the thousands of iron horsemen, where can Gobur Tie have the ability to kill the general, now these thousands of iron horsemen are trapped in Mangshan for a generation, I am afraid that the supply of food and grass is about to run out, the black warriors will never let go of this bite easily, bite thousands of iron horses will definitely bite to death, General Wu Xinyu will first go to rescue these thousands of iron horses after the army is assembled, but we do not walk with the army."
Shen Leng asked Zheng Shu, the captain who came with him, "Is the terrain in that area familiar?" ”
"Unfamiliar, we weren't that far at the time."
Zheng Shu also looked puzzled: "The general led the army straight into more than four hundred miles, it stands to reason that this is impossible, we are in danger of entering the black martial arts country for dozens of miles, the general led thousands of iron cavalry to rush into it so far, the black warriors actually did not intercept halfway?" ”
Shen Leng asked: "You mean, the general underestimated the enemy?" ”
Zheng shook his head: "The general has been in the northern Xinjiang for so many years, and he has never ventured lightly against the enemy, and no one knows the black warriors better than the general." ”
"What reason did Gobultier use to trick the general?"
Shen Leng frowned and muttered to himself.
Zheng Shudao: "These lowly positions are also curious, we say that we will not believe that the general can be easily fooled, unless there is a reason why the general has to go, but now no one can say, the general is in a hurry, only brought a few thousand people around him, and then sent someone to inform General Wu to mobilize people immediately, but he didn't have time." ”
Shen Leng was not familiar with the situation, so naturally it was difficult to think of any reasonable explanation.
"One thing is certain, though."
Shen Leng looked to the north: "The general is still in the Guoge'er Department, waiting for us to take him home." ”
"Do you know why I asked General Wu to bring you here? You are Meng Chang'an's old department, he is the general's righteous son, he can't come back, I will take you and bring the general back for him. ”
"Whew!"
