Chapter 9: The Drums of War

Listening to this, Lin Xiu's heart was touched, and even in a trance, he found that his dream of being a little official was the same, standing in the court, wearing his official robes, and letting those miscellaneous people who looked down on themselves and the Lin family bow down and laughed...

'Woo... Woo... Woo...'

'Knock knock...'

Late at night, the march to the city was camped outside the school field. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When a few sentries rode their horses and galloped wildly, carrying the three red goose feather flags and rushing into the big tent of the Chinese army, it was only half a moment before the deafening sound of heavy drums and horns rang out.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, the commander made Jiang Gan's face pale, and the sweat like ice crystals had been left on his head, and when he returned to his senses, Jiang Gan rushed to his personal guards: "Send someone to inform His Royal Highness King Qin immediately!" Immediately! ā€

"Emperor Xiaowu rehearses the army... Set off in a moment... Violators will be beheaded... Emperor Xiaowu's army... Set off in a moment... Violators will be killed..."

The patrol guards shuttled back and forth in the Xiaowu Emperor's military camp, and those young men woke up in a noisy and confused way.

The cowhide tent of the five battalions and five schools, Lin Xiu and these people also got out of the tent, looking at the patrol guards galloping around, Lin Xiu's heart was in a dilemma, and when a night sentry who patrolled their department on weekdays shouted, Lin Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently: "My lord, what's going on?" ā€

"Something's wrong... Beiban... Went south! ā€

In a short sentence, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, directly hitting Lin Xiutian Linggai, those barbarians, in the end, went south!

Li Cheng, Yang Mao Mansion.

When the eight-hundred-mile expedited Three Red Goose Feather Sentinel rode to the front of the mansion and put the urgent report in front of the case of King Jing Yuyin of Qin, Yang Mao's mind tightened and said, "Your Highness, so you must return to Hexi as soon as possible!" ā€

"Master, the blue wolf has been broken, the north barbarians are going south, the next step is the boundary of hundreds of miles of Yancheng, there are thousands of cavalry troops in Licheng and Lincheng, and tens of thousands of Xiaowu Emperors, how can I retreat to Hexi!" Jing Yuyin responded, he got up to speak, and the guard Jin Yu stepped forward to obey the order: "Immediately integrate the team and go north to Yancheng." In addition, you take my soldiers back to Hexi and send the Hexi army north! ā€

"The last general commands!" Jin Yu was about to leave, but was stopped by Yang Mao.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be when you do this?"

Jing Yuyin looked at Yang Mao and thought for a moment: "Master, it is about millions of people in the Northland, I must block the Northern Barbarians in the Qinchuan Territory, otherwise, with the characteristics of the barbarian riding and maneuvering, once I enter the boundary of the Four Cities, the consequences will be uncontrollable!" ā€

"Your Highness... Why are you so confused! ā€

Yang Mao was anxious: "At the moment of the throne of the prince, the national foundation is shaking and manifesting, you don't want to be the one who chases the deer, but others may not regard you as an opponent, Emperor Xiaowu is His Majesty's straightforward new army, there is no decree issued, but you are dispatched to the north, not to mention how the combat power is, what does His Majesty think, why don't you understand?" This place is thousands of miles according to Hexi, the Hexi army is brave, and it has become a tired division to run to this place, if Xida Tatar knows about the movement of the Hexi army, what will those subordinates think, only God knows, Your Majesty, your courage is good, but how can thousands of light cavalry troops in Licheng and Lincheng stop the ferocious and hungry barbarians, all the top priorities, to hold back your heart! ā€

Listening to these words, Jing Yuyin only felt a fire in his heart, and suddenly, the indifferent and supreme appearance of the eldest brother appeared in front of him, which made him clench his fists tightly.

After three breaths, Jing Yuyin sat down again, Jin Yu continued to serve left and right, Yang Mao comforted Jing Yuyin, and said slowly: "Your Highness, the best way to do this is to wait, rest assured, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, I am afraid that when he ordered the conscription of Emperor Xiaowu, he guessed this day, in the opinion of the old man, this Majesty's will, I am afraid that it is about to come here..."

Hexi, Longcheng.

"Your Highness, this is an edict sent by Your Majesty, the Northern Barbarians are going south, and now they have captured the blue wolf and occupied the hills and mountains of Yatuo Valley, I want you to take your headquarters and Emperor Xiaowu to Yancheng to assemble and stand by."

Hearing this, Yan Wang Jingyu Ke said to an old man with a white beard beside him: "What do you think, sir?" ā€

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness has already estimated it in your heart, why does the old man need to say anything more?" ā€

Jing Yuke responded with laughter: "Mr. is serious!" This time I came to Hexi to serve in the edict, I am afraid that the second brother has been jealous, in such a situation, it is even more necessary to act properly, is it difficult for Mr. Cheng to watch this king in this maze in a deep predicament, so even if this king does not say anything, I am afraid that someone will come to anxiety your old man! ā€

As soon as these words came out, the old man's face immediately leaked a trace of helplessness, he was Han Mingzhen, the head of the Han clan in Jiangnan, and his granddaughter Han Ruofeng was the wife of King Yan.

Han Mingzhen got up and paced back and forth for two steps, and said, "Your Highness, do you know why Your Majesty wants to set up a new Xiaowu Emperor?" ā€

"Naturally, it is to protect the country's stable foundation!" Jing Yuke said indifferently: "The eldest brother's Zhongdu powerhouse, the second brother's Hexi Army, my father's border town family Liaoyuan Army, and my fourth brother's Shu Army, is my Huainan Army, such five strong forces, if Emperor Xiaowu is given by his father, who is given by his father?" Who will be the new prince, the next Xia Emperor! ā€

"Yes, but that's not enough!" These words made Jing Yuke slightly stunned, but Han Mingzhen didn't say much, so he turned to Fang Cai's military report.

"Your Highness, this time the barbarian army went south, just to plunder the food for the winter, the old man guessed, I am afraid that there will be no large-scale invasion, so as long as the Liaoyuan Army and the Hexi Army work together, it is enough to contain the barbarian army in Qinchuan and Yancheng to Liaoshui thousands of miles of land, but now there is an additional Xiaowu Emperor in the middle, although His Royal Highness is ordered to lead the Xiaowu Emperor to Yancheng to assemble, but what the consequences will be, it is difficult to predict, and His Royal Highness also knows that the current Xiaowu Emperor is just an empty shelf, if it touches, it will be hot!"

"Sir, I mean... Will the existence of the Xiaowu Emperor make the armies rife? ā€

"It's not a gap, it's a wait-and-see!" Han Mingzhen motioned to the servant general to put out the map: "Your Highness, please look, along the border of the Liao River, there are Liaoyuan Army, Hexi Army, and then there are the county soldiers of Dongzhou and the capital soldiers of the four cities in the Northland, such a number of hundreds of thousands, if you really want to fight, put in a Xiaowu Emperor, this is like throwing a spark into dry firewood, in addition, there are you, the eldest prince, the second prince, the general of the border town family, if there is only one of the three princes or only obey His Majesty's orders of the family military formation, it is very thoughtful, But the three princes are with the family, except for the soldiers and horses of their respective headquarters, the old man really doesn't know how to give orders? In this way, Jing Yuke understood the meaning behind it, now the eldest brother Jing Yutian is in Dongzhou, and the second brother is in the four cities of the Northland, he is on the territory of the second brother, and such a mixed and intertwined relationship is really confusing.
