Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Great Army Begins

The movement of the 670,000 army, although very covert, was inevitably discovered by the Western Xia spies.

The next day, a Western Xia delegation came to question.

Xin Xi has only one word for this - kill!

However, Han Qi and Yang Wenguang both quickly came to persuade him, and Han Qi said directly: "The two armies will not fight and do not kill the envoys, if you kill the envoy of Western Xia, Han will not dare to go to the Nongdieer Department no matter what!" ”

"Han Xianggong, even if I behead the envoy of the Western Xia, it has nothing to do with the Tubo tribes, not to mention that the Tubo tribes have not arranged many spies in my Great Song Dynasty, and there are restrictions on the Shadow Guard Army, those spies in Tubo can't make waves, and even, after this battle is over, the Tubo tribes don't necessarily know that we have killed the Western Xia envoys!"

This......

Han Qi was speechless.

Yang Wenguang hurriedly said: "How can Eleven Lang be like this, it has been a rule for thousands of years that the two armies do not fight each other!" ”

"Okay, okay, then put the Western Xia envoy under house arrest, and besides, the two of you should leave as soon as possible!" Xin Zhen urged impatiently.

Obviously, yesterday it was arranged for Han Qi to send an envoy to the Tubo Nong Dieer Department, and Yang Wenguang led the Huaide army, but it was noon the next day, and these two were still in Qingjian City!

Han Qi and Yang Wenguang shook their heads helplessly, and after answering, they turned around and left.

It was not until the third day that the orders issued by Xin Xi began to be fully implemented.

This is the problem that must be faced once the number of troops mobilized exceeds 100,000, procrastination!

After all, the 670,000 army really wants to be deployed on the official road, even if the width of the official road is used to the maximum extent to reach the situation of ten people in a row, the 670,000 army can at least pull out a long line of seventy or eighty miles.

The front army may have been gone for a day, and the rear army has just walked out of the city gates.

Under the winding dragon, the three hundred shadow guards, under the leadership of Xin Ba, escorted Han Qi to the Tubo Nongdier Department at a speed of thousands of miles a day.

The Shadow Guards have this speed, because these three hundred Shadow Guards are basically the strongest among the selected Shadow Guards, with their strength and foot power, running with Han Qi on their backs, one day and one night, there is really no problem in walking thousands of miles.

It was precisely because of the fast pace of the Shadow Guard Army that Han Qi was dead in Qingjian City until the third day.

After the rear army also slowly drove out of Qingjian City, Xin Xi took the rest of the Shadow Guard Army and slowly followed the pace of the large army and headed towards Xining Prefecture.

Shaanxi Road is about the western part of Shaanxi and the northeast of Gansu in later generations, Xining Prefecture, which is located about fifty miles east of Qinghai Lake, and Xining Prefecture is exactly where the border between Tubo and the Great Song Dynasty is located.

Sixteen miles west of the capital of Xining Prefecture, is where the national border is, this national border, is a small river, above the national border, that is, at the edge of this small river, this small river is a tributary of the Huangshui, flowing from south to north, its east is the Great Song Forbidden Army, the west is the warriors of the Hugeda Department.

The two sides have been looking at the river for a hundred years, and there have been more than 20 years of peace, because 20 years ago, Di Qing had crossed the river on horseback and set off a small war that lasted for three months.

This is the thirteenth day, the thirteenth day from Qingjian City, a three-hundred-mile journey, and it took thirteen days to spend it!

Xin Xi stood by the river, followed by hundreds of members of the Shadow Guard.

Under the setting sun, the green meadows are rendered a withered yellow color, and on the other side of the river, the process of desertification is slowly beginning.

Originally, according to the nomadic customs of the Tibetan tribes, each grassland would have enough time to cultivate and recuperate.

But with an order from the lord of Tubo, the originally nomadic Hugeda Department was forced to press on this piece of land, cut down trees, imitate the Song people to build houses, cattle and sheep flocks, and gnaw grass on this boundary every day, and then the process of desertification gradually began.

It seems that in the Tang Dynasty, this place was still a barren mountain, full of trees and grass!

Sighing slightly, Xin Xi didn't think about it anymore.

Today, the reason why I came here was the news from Han Qi that the covenant had been reached and that we would arrive at the border today.

He came here to pick up Han Qi, and after taking Han Qi back, and understanding what the two sides were responsible for in the covenant, Xin Xi could officially start this war!

The sun slowly deflected, and when it was about to fall into the depths of the desert, a dark shadow flashed in the distance, on the other side of the river.

The Shadow is a member of the Shadow Guard.

The shadow guard quickly crossed the river, walked in front of Xin Xi, and knelt down on one knee: "Commander, Han Qi still has three miles to go!" ”

"Well, you can rest for a while, you don't have to run back!" Xin Zhen nodded lightly.

"Whoa!" The Shadow Guard nodded in agreement, turned around and walked to the rear of the army formation to stand still.

After another quarter of an hour, when the sky was slowly darkening, in the distance, a large group of people appeared.

Han Qi's face was full of wind and sand, but he laughed heroically: "Hahaha, Eleven Lang, Han is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the covenant has been reached!" ”

"Han Xianggong has worked hard!" Xin Zhen quickly greeted him.

"I don't know how the specific covenant is?!" Xin Zhen asked.

Han Qi smiled lightly: "The Hugeda Department is the vanguard, directly under the city of Renduoquan, and the Nongdieer Department and my Great Song Dynasty are the Chinese army, besieging Renduoquan City together, at the same time, the Great Song Dynasty is responsible for defending the east, and the Nongdieer Department is responsible for defending the west, anyway, it is to eat Renduoquan City in the midst of the encirclement!" ”

Xin Xi nodded with you, and continued to discuss other details with Han Qi about the dispatch of troops.

The two discussed while walking, until they arrived at the capital of Xining Prefecture, and the two discussed it overnight until about the third watch, and then everything was smoothed out.

The next day, early in the morning.

The main account of the army, .net Xin Zhen sat on it, and said slowly: "This war, in fact, is not really to attack Western Xia, but has other plans, therefore, of the 670,000 army, we only dispatched 170,000 to cooperate with the Nongdieer Department, and the other 500,000 troops ......."

At this point, Xin Xi turned around slowly, pointed to the map hanging on the wall behind him, and pointed with his right hand vigorously at one important node after another.

"Xuanwei, Xining, Liuling, Gushan, Gulongkou......" said more than ten place names in one breath, and Xin Xi's hand also smashed more than ten times on the map in a row: "This is where the rest of the 500,000 troops go, and I have defended these nineteen places to prevent foreign enemies from invading half an inch of land, and in addition, the Jishi Army has also let them strengthen their defense!" ”

Speaking of this, Xin Zhen's eyes showed a more fierce look: "At the same time, I also told the Jishi Army, fight to the end, don't abandon an inch of land, don't abandon a single people, if there is a violator, punish the three clans!" ”

"Whoa!" All the generals tore up their voices and promised loudly, after all, after the meeting in Qingjian City, with Lu Xu's head and blood, no one was willing to repeat Lu Xu's mistakes.

The meeting was over, and the army was in motion.
