Yunzhou, like Tingzhou, has a very important strategic location, and its importance can be seen in the previous dynasty, when he served as two generals and guarded two states, and could determine the military and government independently. Yunzhou and Xianrong junction, located in the east of Tingzhou, north of Suzhou, is a strategic node connecting the Western Regions and the West Domain, and even the Central Plains.

Later, more than half of the land under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions was lost, and the survivors, but the two states of Yunting, were saved thanks to the loyalty and courage of Guo and Zhang Er.

Like the cities of the Western Regions, Yunzhou City stands on a wilderness, flying sand and rocks, violent storms and snowstorms, which are common every year. The people in the city are also composed of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and the Han people account for nearly half of them, which is also the biggest reason why Yunzhou can be stable.

But because of its border with Xianrong, it has become a nail in the eyes of Xianrong people, and the Xianrong tribe often harasses. When Da Shi besieged Tingzhou, the Xianrong people raided Yunzhou City, and the Xianrong King thought it was a bitter battle, but the Xianrong people fought without much effort, which surprised the Xianrong people and surprised the Menghu people.

The Xianrong people who occupied Yunzhou City in one fell swoop were very excited, and they had a bloodbath in Yunzhou City, which had been coveted for a long time, burning, killing and looting, slaughtering the people, and there was not one person in the city, so that Yunzhou City became an empty city, with dry bones like mountains, blood flowing like rivers, and heavy snow was difficult to wash.

After Meng Ge learned the news, he was very shocked, he thought that the Xian Rong people would run into a wall in Yunzhou, but he never thought that it would be so smooth, so he decided to go south in front of the Xian Rong people, because the two families had already made an alliance before the war, stipulating that it would be first come, first served, and whoever fought it would belong to whom, so Meng Ge was impatient and rushed all the way.

When the Xianrong people reacted, Meng Ge had already passed Luling, and there was nothing to do, so the Xianrong King Tent ordered that the army be stationed in Yunzhou and repaired and waited. Of course, the Xianrong King's Tent was not the one who suffered losses, so he refused to provide Meng Ge with food and grass support on the grounds that he was short of grain and grass and suffered heavy losses, and warned Meng Ge to do it himself.

Where did Meng Ge suffer such a threat, so he marched all the way, to fight the war, all the way to Wuwei County before ordering repairs, and then preparing to continue the attack, take Jincheng, but, when he learned that if he wanted to continue to attack Jincheng in the south, he must capture Xiping, otherwise there was no other way, but the terrain of Xiping was completely unfavorable to the Menghu army to fight, so Meng Ge thought of a bold plan, that is, to go west along the Great Wall, borrow Xianrong, and then go south, first attack Xiacheng, and then raid Chang'an.

Such a whimsical plan naturally had to be fully prepared, so he talked with the Xianrong people and proposed to give Suzhou to the Xianrong people, but at the same time, the Xianrong people should give the right of way and cooperate with the battle. Xianrong Wang's tent naturally agreed without hesitation, this condition can be said to be only profitable and not losing, they are already in alliance with Da Shi and Menghu, and it is also appropriate to cooperate with the battle, and it is even more trivial to borrow a way, but such a large piece of land in Suzhou is not said to be able to be beaten down, and now Menghu gives up, how can it not be accepted?

As a result, Meng Ge successfully obtained the letter of state from the Xianrong king's tent, and then sent troops from Wuwei and entered the south of Xianrong westward, preparing to attack Xiacheng.

The Xianrong army of Yunzhou also received the military order of the Xianrong king's tent and immediately occupied Suzhou, so 40,000 Xianrong soldiers and horses were dispatched south from Yunzhou.

In Meng Ge's abacus, there was naturally no loss-making business, and when he learned of the movements of the Xianrong people, he was walking at the foot of the Great Wall, and he also had a sinister smile on his face.

"Khan? Tomorrow, our army will be able to turn south and go straight to Xia City, and within three days, it will be there. The leader behind Mungo said.

At this moment, Meng Ge didn't know the news that Zhebu had died in Xiping, and naturally he didn't know that Xiping had been seized by the Ganzhou battalion, but ...... This is his plan, in his plan, Xiping, is just an outcast, and its role is just to cover the actions of the army and attract the attention of the Han people.

"Well, over there in Xia Cheng, send someone to investigate in advance." Mongo ordered as he dangled on horseback.

"I was about to talk to the Khan about this, when a Han man came and said that he was a messenger from Xia Cheng and asked to see you." The leader reported.

When Meng Ge heard this, someone from Xia Cheng came...... What does that mean? I couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Bring him here." Mongo coughed twice, and his subordinates behind him dressed him in a fine velvet coat. He straightened his sleeves and sat down on his horse.

In a few moments, the chief himself brought a Han man, who was dressed in black clothes and had a muddy face and water, and walked to Mongoma, exhausted, and presented a letter with both hands.

Mungo looked at it and took the letter.

I saw that the envelope was written: Most of the twelve counties of Xiacheng protected Yao Wenjun.

Mongo glanced at the messenger again, and his heart was full of doubts, surrender? Begging and? Or are you here to find out about the military......

Thinking about it, he opened the letter, a piece of letterhead, which he opened slowly, curiosity that made him look at it with all his attention, wanting to see what was written.

As the letter unfolded, his pupils became bigger and bigger, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, of course he expected that this was a letter to ask for peace, even if he surrendered, he didn't ask for more, and everything would be fine if he could ask for peace, if he could talk about peace, then he could go all the way to Huanglong, and he had no worries, he could use Xia Cheng as a springboard and jump into the big pool of Chang'an.

Mongo was already a little preoccupied, and his mind was up and down, like holding a lottery ticket that was about to be drawn.

In front of the horse, the messenger held his head high, looked at Meng Ge, his eyes were like a cold blade, and the leader of the Meng Hu next to him couldn't help but feel a powerful aura and looked at the messenger.

"Fuck! Dare to play this king? Yes?!!!! ”

There was a terrifying roar, and thousands of troops and horses turned back one after another, and the leader of Menghu was so frightened that he knelt down and fell to the ground, not daring to move.

Only the messenger remained still, looking at the hideous Mongo and smiling.

Mongo's face was as if it had been painted, blue and purple, and he trembled all over.

"I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill them all, chop them all into meat sauce and feed them to the eagles! I'm!! Mungo shouted, tearing the letter to shreds and scattering it all over the ground.

The messenger looked at Mongo, who was furious, and laughed.

When Mongo heard this, he suddenly stared at the messenger viciously and sneered.

"Then ...... It starts with you......" Mungo said angrily, gritting his teeth.

"Khan, Khan, the two armies are not fighting...... an older leader stepped forward to warn Mongo.

"Isn't there no war yet? Stupid pig! Idiot! Stupid~" Meng Ge turned his head and scolded with his eyes, and the leader was so frightened that he craned his neck and didn't dare to speak.

"Kill!" Mongo drank.

The Menghu soldier unleashed his knife and put it on the messenger's neck, trying to hold him down and kneel.

The messenger was stiff and motionless, craned his neck and glared at Mungo.

"Chop my leg first, and I'll see how long you can stand." Meng Ge said in a strange way.

The Menghu leaders next to them were in a cold sweat after hearing this.

"Humph! Menghu Xiaoer, deceive me without a strong man in China? The messenger shouted, undaunted.

Meng Ge was stunned, he didn't expect this person to be so backbone, but it was rare to see him, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"In this world, tigers eat weak horses, hungry wolves fight sick sheep, rightfully so! I, didn't bully you. Mongo suddenly calmed down and said coldly to the messenger.

The messenger was silent when he heard this, and his eyes flowed like a light, and in an instant, he disappeared again, and breathed a little breath.

"But let the dragon city fly general, don't teach Humadu Yin Mountain......" The messenger chanted as if no one was around, at the foot of the Great Wall.

When the wind was not blocked, it ran rampant, blowing yellow green mountains, taking away clouds and smoke, leaving behind a handful of loess, half of the country.

The walls of the boulder ramparts are covered with withered yellow rattans, and some of the shades are still covered with snow, and not far from the city walls, there were traces of human habitation visible to the naked eye, and now, only the black birds are circling, wailing a few times, and no longer lingering.

Desolation......

When Mungo understood the poem, he was furious and about to attack, when the messenger grabbed the scimitar on his shoulder, and with a strong force, he killed himself by the neck, and the blood sprayed the face of the Menghu soldier.

All the Menghu leaders were stunned, looking at the Han man who had fallen in amazement, incomprehensible and unbelievable.

The same was true of Mungo, whose anger was extinguished, and he leaned down to look at the man on the ground, his face distorted to the extreme.

Menghu's army marched, and the soldiers passing by had to take a curious look.

"Look at what? What do you see? And you guys, huh? What to see! Mungo turned to the soldiers who had not suppressed their curiosity, and then to the leaders, and as he spoke, he yelled again, and the people around him trembled and bowed their heads.

Mongo was mad, he was really angry enough today, he glared at everyone viciously, and rode forward alone.

The leaders secretly glanced at each other, not knowing whether to follow or not.

"Don't move." The older leader whispered to the other leaders.

The leaders, who had just prepared to ride their horses to follow, quickly reined in their horses and trembled.

Wait for Mongo to go away.

"What's wrong with that, you say? is so angry, it's just to kill a Han man. One of the leaders grumbled.

"yes, the devil knows what's wrong today."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, beware of being heard."

These leaders have a lot of complaints in their hearts, they are leading their people out to fight, and they are not here to be scolded, and they are terrified every day, which is even more uncomfortable than going into battle to kill the enemy.

The old leader sighed as he looked at the dead messenger on the ground.

"Come on, they Han people pay attention to entering the soil for safety, go, find a place to bury. I've always admired brave people, he's one. The leader commanded.

Several soldiers hurriedly carried the man away. The other leaders also did not want to pay any attention to it, and hurriedly urged the troops to speed up.

After the old leader had gone away, he quietly picked up the shredded letter from the ground, put it in his arms, and rode after him.

……

Like a pebble hitting the surface of the water, it rippled in Mungo's heart.

"Khan, don't be angry, no matter what, we must take Xia City before we can continue to march." The old leader caught up from behind, walked up to Mungo, and said. A powerful voice brought Mongo out of his thoughts.

"Well, you're right, anyway...... All by all! Take it, Xia Cheng. Mongo seemed to calm down, and said it seriously.

"The subordinates have already sent additional manpower, and they will investigate first, and there will be news soon."

"That's good, in fact, there is no need to investigate, the enemy has sent people, that means that we have mastered our whereabouts, and a battle with them is inevitable, before their news reaches Chang'an, we must take it, otherwise, our army will fall short." Meng Ge actually had a faint worry in his heart, he was so confident before, but he also began to feel a little less confident, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily when he saw the long road ahead.

"The subordinates will definitely take Xia City for the Khan, and I hope the Khan will take care of his health." The old leader admonished.

Mungo glanced at the old leader and nodded.

…………

Xia Cheng, this is the station that Chang Long promised to them since the defection of the four guards of Luoyang, and at the same time, Chang Long also sent 40,000 taels of silver. This summer city, is an important town in the west, and Xian Rong, a wall apart, the north of the Great Wall is Xian Rong, the south is Xia City, but later, Xian Rong people crossed the Great Wall, constantly harassing the villages and towns south of the Great Wall, because of the lack of Chang Long's troops, so the whip is beyond reach, and it also allows the Xian Rong people to take advantage of the loopholes, burning, killing and looting is to inch in.

It wasn't until Chang Long invited the Luoyang Siwei that Xian Rong relented, but they actually controlled many areas in the southern part of the Great Wall.

The name of the twelve counties of Xiacheng is not that there are twelve counties in Xiacheng, but the general name of all the surrounding villages and towns and military towns in the south of the Great Wall with Xiacheng as the center, as for why it is called the twelve counties, mainly in ancient times, when the Qin generals were stationed on the Great Wall, many fortresses and military formations were built in the south of the Great Wall for military tuns, and then slowly evolved into villages and towns, and some of the scales even reached the scale of the county town, among them, Xiacheng is the most prosperous border town. Like Xiacheng, there are eleven more, but because there is still a military, it is still called a military town, and there is no county government, and it is governed by the general who guards the border.

At the peak of the previous dynasty, the imperial court issued an edict to control the border towns, and sent officials to govern Xiacheng as the governing government, and sent officials to govern all the surrounding military towns and villages, collectively known as the twelve counties of Xiacheng, which were governed by border generals and supervised by the imperial court.

………………

Summer City

At this moment, the general's mansion in the city is full of generals.

Yao Wenjun sat firmly in the handsome position, Zhou Anmin and Xue Dingguo sat on the right hand, Lu Zhenjiang sat on the left hand side, and the four of them did not speak, each with their own thoughts, not knowing what they were thinking.

Yao Wenjun looked at this, then at that, and stroked his beard.

"I'll tell you. I have long received the news that the main force of Menghu has not gone south, but has gone west, and has been closely monitored, the reason why I didn't tell you, just I don't want you to panic, I called you here today, just to say, what should we do? Yao Wenjun said seriously.

"What do you mean you don't want us to panic? Lao Yao. Zhou Anmin asked rhetorically with a straight face, patting the armrest of the chair.

Xue Dingguo and Lu Zhenjiang looked at Yao Wenjun at the same time.

"After all, I only know that they are heading west, and the details are not clear, so instead of telling you to worry in vain, it is better to figure it out." Yao Wenjun smiled, got up and walked to the table, looking at Zhou Anmin.

"Lao Zhou, what Lao Yao said is the same, forget it, let's talk about how to deal with it now." Xue Dingguo grabbed Zhou Anmin, who was about to have an attack, and said.

Zhou Anmin snorted coldly and turned his head to look away.

"I think...... It's better for us not to interfere, just turn a blind eye and let them pass. Xue Dingguo said slowly.

Zhou Anmin was startled, and turned his head to glare at Xue Dingguo. Lu Zhenjiang was also surprised, looking at Xue Dingguo, he couldn't believe that this was what he said.

Yao Wenjun was not shocked.

"I've already sent a messenger, I think it should have been delivered, so get ready when you get back."

After Yao Wenjun finished speaking, he leaned on the chair, looked at Xue Dingguo, and smiled lightly.

"It's fine." Lu Zhenjiang got up, looked at Xue Dingguo and hesitated for a moment, and left quickly with his officer.

Zhou Anmin snorted coldly at Xue Dingguo and threw away his sleeves.

Xue Dingguo didn't care, got up, and said goodbye to Yao Wenjun.

"Don't want to know what I've written?" Yao Wenjun asked suddenly.

"What?" Xue Dingguo said with his back to Yao Wenjun.

After a pause, Yao Wenjun said quietly.

"Repeatedly!"
