Chapter 430: Corn from the Fire
The gold medal was passed five hundred miles a day, and it was indeed very fast, although Liu Cheng deliberately let his subordinates block the plank road, but Changsun Hong still saw the gold medal in Meixian County.
Meixian is a county, but it is a military city, the city is strong and high, firmly choking a narrow pass in the lofty mountains of the Qinling Mountains, like a cork that blocks the mouth of a kettle.
At this time, more than half of the people in the city fled, and only a few of the people who remained in the city could not run and resigned themselves to fate, the old, weak, sick and disabled, and half of the soldiers at the head of the city could not see it.
When Liu Quan's rear army came to the city, Changsun Hong was still here, and the postman with the gold medal stood to the side sweating.
Liu Quan's heart was full of apprehension, what the gold medal of the imperial court meant, he knew very well, and even what was written in the document that came with the gold medal, he could guess what was written in the book, and he was secretly beating the drum in his heart.
"Lord Changsun, this ......" His eyes looked at the gold medal in Changsun Hong's hand and rubbed his hands: "What should I do next?" ”
"Keep walking." Changsun Hong replied to him without hesitation, and looked at the direction of Chang'an: "The soldiers are fast, Liu Tang said, Liu Yuanzhen has not yet received the news of our troops, and he didn't expect Liu Yuanli to stab him in the back, his descendants are concentrated in the direction of Tongguan, Chang'an is empty, this is a good time for us to take Chang'an with lightning speed, and then use it as bait to lead Liu Yuanzhen to turn back and catch him off guard!" ”
"The last general will take the order, but I don't mean this ......." Liu Quan swallowed his spit, his eyes kept wandering on the gold medal.
"I'll take care of the rest, you don't have to worry about it." Changsun Hong said: "The rear army is all baggage, and you have to move a little slower, you have to speed up and don't lag behind." ”
"Hmm......" Liu Quan hesitated, didn't Changsun Hong take the gold medal of the Great Song Dynasty to heart? If this is disobedient and disrespectful, Shenwu Ruyue Fei will not be able to withstand it.
He muttered in his heart, but he did not hesitate to answer, and whipped away.
Changsun Hong turned his face, nodded at the post guard, and said, "It's hard work, I received the things, you go down and rest, just go back." ”
Well?
The postman's eyes widened, and he was so surprised that he couldn't be more surprised.
Big brother, what I sent was not an ordinary letter, but a gold medal from the Great Song Dynasty, a gold medal issued by the Great Inner Decree and the Privy Council, which is rare. When the general military general receives this, according to the rules, at least he has to set up a case and burn incense solemnly, and write a reply letter respectfully after reading it.
How can the eldest grandson Hong be so frivolous, he doesn't look at it, he doesn't even open the seal, he has to send himself away.
The post man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was half-dragged and half-dragged down by Kowloon Onde with a few brutes.
Changsun Hong didn't take this seriously, turned around, and began to look at the map held by a few guards, staring and pondering, as if he was beginning to think about the direction of Chang'an.
Ai Zhongxiao, the crossbow army, served as the middle army, followed Changsun Hong, and stood behind Changsun Hong at this moment, watching the gold medal in Changsun Hong's hand, shaking and shaking around, and sweating on his forehead.
Finally, he couldn't hold it back anymore and said cautiously: "Lord Eldest Sun, this gold medal...... But when the court sent it, don't you look at what is written in it? ”
"What's there to see?" Eldest Sun Hong smiled without looking back: "It's just to ask me to withdraw my troops." ”
"Uh...... Adults know? Ai Zhongxiao was surprised.
"The speed of information transmission between the Imperial City Division and the dark ghost is no slower than the speed of the gold medal, I knew it last night." Changsun Hong measured the distance on the map with two hands, and said while gesturing: "The emperor was scared and beat Zhao Kui back, just because he was worried that I would provoke the Mongols." ”
He shook his head, wrote a few words on a sign handed over by Kowloon Angde, handed it to the herald, turned his head to Ai Zhongxiao and said, "Will we mess with the Mongols?" ”
Ai Zhongxiao also laughed, and confidently agreed: "We have already provoked Mao, killed so many Mongols, when were we afraid of them?" ”
"Lord Changsun told us that the Wang family in Gongzhou has been crippled, from Hanzhong to Longyou, as far as Hexi, the Mongols no longer have the strength to confront us head-on, and the two groups of Tubo are still fighting, taking care of themselves, and the entire west is safe."
"And north of Monan, the Mongolian princes and nobles on the steppe are mobilizing troops to compete for the position of the Great Khan, and the waves of the Han land can't attract their attention at all, and the barbarians who eat beef and mutton only have the Khan position in their eyes."
"Therefore, from the last half a year to the end of next year, and even the time until the emergence of the new Great Khan of the Mongols, it is a vacuum, as long as we don't take the initiative to hit Helin, no one can do anything to us, God-given opportunity, if we don't seize it, it's really a waste."
Ai Zhongxiao's words were said in an orderly, fast and smooth manner, obviously not remembered for a while, but had been buried in his mind a long time ago.
"That's right, you and I both know, so why did the imperial court send gold medals over and let us truce?" The eldest grandson Hong asked him again, he liked to induce his subordinates in this way.
Ai Zhongxiao's face turned a little red, obviously a little annoyed: "There is no one in the court, just cowardly!" ”
"Even if we are timid, but the gold medal is still the gold medal, what can we do?" The eldest grandson Hongdao.
This obvious agitation really made Ai Zhongxiao, who is usually wise and calm, fooled, he suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The king will not be affected by the king's life outside!" What is the eldest grandson going to do, I have nothing to say! ”
Jiulong Angde patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I have given up this life since the day I followed the ghost king, and the rest, don't think too much, wealth has its own destiny, we just need to do our best." ”
After speaking, he also glanced at Ai Zhongxiao meaningfully, his eyes were full of complicated light.
After following Changsun Hong for a long time, he heard and saw it, Ai Zhongxiao was also faintly aware of it, and he was already accustomed to all kinds of deviant ways of this barbarian army in Dali, what did Changsun Hong do, Ai Zhongxiao and other Song Dynasty generals knew it, but they didn't say it.
Thinking of the future, Ai Zhongxiao was a little inexplicably excited, now the situation is clear, the entire south of the desert, the forces that can resist Changsun Hong are really innumerable, although the number of barbarian troops is not high, but the soldiers are not expensive, and it is not necessary to rely on people who can fight to act as the backbone of the war, like the Song Dynasty, in addition to wasting military salaries, it is embarrassing to use hundreds of thousands of people all year round in addition to wasting military salaries.
Besides, if Changsun Hongzhen wants to expand the army, it is not a matter of minutes, and the hundreds of thousands of displaced people who fled from Jinghu and the north to the Hanzhong area of Sichuan, and it is very easy to organize more than 100,000 people, but he is not willing to do this kind of thing to slap his swollen face and save face.
"Can't be delayed, go, be sure to rush to the city of Jingzhaofu before sunset tomorrow!" Eldest Sun Hong motioned for the guards to put away the map and stepped on his horse: "Liu Yuanzhen will soon find out that we have passed through the Qinling Mountains, and he can't let him react." The situation will be different in the future, regardless of the gold medal, it is equivalent to a blatant confrontation with the Song Dynasty, if we don't move quickly, we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and it is urgent to take the Han land like a fire! ”
He reined in his horse, mounted on the ground, and with a long neigh, he galloped wildly.
Ai Zhongxiao and others hugged him, and went away, a long loess smoke and dust, leaving a thick trace on the land of Guanzhong, under the smoke and dust, the black armor iron army was like mercury pouring on the ground, towards the towering Chang'an City in the distance, swept over.
