Zhang Jing hurriedly replied to the new Fengxiang Yin, saying that Huating had 2,000 Yingtian archers, more than 1,000 Yingtian people, and a total of more than 3,000 people were led by the military general Fang Xianhe, and they were stubbornly fighting to the death.

"What are the thieves besieging the city?"

"About 10,000."

"Huangyuan Yingcheng, is there still 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers to prevent autumn?"

"Yes, yes."

"Fengxiang Yining Army has 24,000 soldiers, and there are 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers, and the army is far away from the thieves, why don't you come to the rescue before Ben Yin comes?" Gao Yue was angry.

Zhang Jingze, Fuyu Huai and Xue Baijing were suddenly frightened, they were not only afraid of the new section commander sitting in the hall, but also afraid of the prison envoy Ju Wenzhen, whose face was as grim as a blade next to him - if he was impeached by Ju for being "brave in battle" and going to the Beijing Division, he would be so light that he would move to the left for a long time, and if he was so heavy that he would be beheaded on the spot.

In the firelight, Zhang Jing plucked up his courage and explained to Gao Yue with his fists, "Although my Yining army has 24,000 soldiers, there is no express order from the imperial court in advance, so there are only 8,000 people in Longzhou, including 2,000 in Huating, 2,000 in Wangyang, 1,500 in Nanyou, 1,500 in Wushan, and 1,000 in Huangyuan Xiexuanwu to build a city." This time, the thieves entered the Kou in a big way, out of the Great Earthquake Pass, Anhua Gorge everywhere, the enemy situation is all over Longzhou, the festival has not yet been to the post, in a hurry can only resist according to the city, now both the festival to Fengxiang, we are willing to serve the Dai Jing Festival, and the thieves fight to the death. ”

Gao Yue nodded at this time and asked, "Longzhou Assassin Han Qingchu, where is he now?" ”

"I'm guarding the town of Huangyang."

"Are there any reinforcements to Huating?"

"Not yet known."

Hearing this, Gao Yue got up, and beside him was Su Pu, the old general of Huaixi who he had newly subdued, and the five Beiya soldiers who came to inform him of the defection during the demon monk case, and now they were all awarded the position of Wusan official, and they were also accompanied by Gao Yue, and they were awarded the battalion general after preparing to go to Xingyuan Mansion, and now Gao Yue said to Zhang Jingze and other generals: "General Zhang, General Fu, immediately leave Fufeng Post with Ben Yin and the envoy of the prison, go to Fengxiang Mansion, order all the generals overnight, and rush to Huangyang first." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Jing and Fuyu Huai hurriedly received the order.

"Sima Xue, please take the wooden deed to the south, go to the Yixian military treasury to distribute money and food, and then collect four thousand Fengxiang archers to wait in Huangyang. Within three days, all the money and backup shooters must be in place, otherwise Ben Yin will not be spared. ”

At this time, Xue Baijing had no time to think about the succession of Fengxiang Jingjie, but thought about how to be neither killed by the thieves nor killed by the iron-faced new festival commander and the prison envoy in this high-intensity war.

In the middle of the night, the torches gathered in the barracks of the various squares under the city of Fengxiang Mansion, and under the planning of Xue Baijing in advance, Fengxiang also divided the "generals" and "archers", of which the generals had a total of 20 battalions and 180 teams, concentrated in the city, and the battalion archers had 8,000 scattered in Longzhou, and 7,000 were scattered in Fengxiang - the generals were mobilized very quickly, and by the time of the third watch, Gao Yue and Ju Wenzhen had supervised the generals of the 20 battalions and marched to Huangyang City.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Yue, Zhang Jingze, and Ju Wenzhen led Fengxiang's horse army to Huangyang first, and Han Qingxun, the assassin, hurriedly stood at the city gate to greet him.

"What is the movement of the Xuanwu Army?" Gao Yue dismounted, didn't care about greetings, and first asked Han Qingchu about the 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers who built the city in Wangyuan.

Han Thorn Shi said, this 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers by the Bianzhou capital soldiers and horses, the inspection of the imperial history of the Cheng Liu Chang command, although the name of the autumn, in the Huangyuan city, but has always been arrogant, the soldiers' clothes, armor bright, ridiculed the northwest border army as a "beggar", now the thieves into the Kou, Nanyou, Wushan, Huating have enemy situation, but General Liu Chang only led the headquarters, stationed in the built Huangyuan City, self-ordered, and did not accept my request to send troops!

Gao Yue nodded and said, "It is normal for this group of Xuanwu soldiers not to accept the dispatch of Han Envoy Jun, and it will be negotiated by Ben Yin immediately." Then he continued to ask Han Qingchu, have you ever found a way to send reinforcements to the Huating direction.

Han Qingchu replied, I had 2,000 archers to defend in Huangyang City, and when I learned that Huating was besieged, I asked the army general Su Taiping to raise 1,500 troops last night, and went over Huangshan to save Huating, leaving 500 archers and their families into the city to wait for help.

At this time, Gao Yue took a look at Huangyang City, this city was built by Wei Gao, and it was a camp field advance stronghold of Fengxiang (at that time the Jiedu envoy was still Zhu Zhu), located between Fengxiang Mansion and the old Huangyuan City, the northwest can turn over the Huangshan Mountain to reach Huating, and the northeast has a river valley (between Huangshan and Qishan) road leading to the Liangyuan and Baili in the south of Jingzhou, and the geographical location is very important - so before the completion of Huangyuan City, this is the temporary residence of the Longzhou Thorn Shi Gong.

At the head of the city, a lot of flags were erected, and crossbow machines were set up at the battlements, and almost all the hundreds of archers under the command of Han Tingshi were guarding on them, and even women and children were mixed in, and it seemed that they did their best.

Gao Yue said that the focus of the siege of the thieves (Xu Li, the deputy prime minister of the host) was Huating, and their strategy was that after uprooting Huating, they would be able to join up with the other Fan soldiers (Shang Jiezan) who were attacking Pingliang and Panyuan along the Liupankou, recapture the place and even the Danzheng Gorge, go deep into Jingzhou, and return to the old days when they rode freely in the Jingzhou Plains and could reach Chang'an City at any time.

So our focus is also on the siege of Xie Hua Pavilion.

As long as the thieves besieging Huating were defeated, their entire strategy against Fengxiang and Jingyuan would be completely bankrupt.

However, with my 8,000 generals of the Yining Army, the military strength is not enough, and I must be assisted by 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers from Huangyuan.

Gao Yue said to everyone present: "If I get Liu Chang's soldiers, I will be able to relieve the siege of Huating; Soon, after my Xingyuan Dingwu army returns, I will be able to defeat the entire host army of Shang Jiezan. ”

After speaking, Gao Yue ordered that the 8,000 generals of the Yining Army from Fengxiang should start cooking in Huangyang, and after an hour, they would start on time, advance along the water, and stop at Huangyuan City.

Almost at the same time, the 7,000 generals of the Dingwu Army of Xingyuan, after building Hechi City among the mountains and rivers, have carried armaments, baggage, tents, and banners, and marched from the new city to the east into Chencang Road, and drove to Fengxiang and Longzhou.

Hechi City, hold on the only way to pass through the Jialing River, the surrounding high gorge is like a cloud, the cliff is thousands, the whole Jialing River starts from the Daiwang Mountain, winds through the city like a line, the momentum is majestic, the left bank is all cliffs, the right bank is slightly wider, the Hechi Guancheng is located on it, there is a big road to connect the Chencang Road on the back, it can be said that a husband is a man who is not open. This city to the left can enter the same valley to Qinzhou (Longright heavy land, occupied by Xifan), Wudu (occupied by Xifan, is the passage of Xifan connecting Longyou and Wei, Songzhou), the right can be from Fengzhou Liangdang out of the Dasanguan into Fengxiang, Jinggi, south can enter Shukou to Shudu, to the southeast can also enter the Baochuan Road to connect Xingyuan Mansion, is the hub of the four military roads.

This city was built by Yan Zhen, the envoy of the Xingyuan Festival, with 300,000 yuan of the imperial court, and mobilized thousands of soldiers of the Dingwu army.

But the city has just been completed, and the officials of the court are coming, saying that Yan Zhen will return to the dynasty immediately, and the Xingyuan Dingwu army will still be Gao Yue's.

In the Liangquan Station in Fengzhou City, Yan Zhen, who received the edict, was stunned immediately.
