The sun is approaching, and the remnant sun is like blood.

In the distance, several vultures were circling in the sky, and from an old tree, a few crows chirped. Below is the battlefield where the Mengxi coalition army and the Zhongjia army are fighting, and there are scattered banners and broken weapons everywhere, and you can even see the stumps and broken bodies that have not had time to be taken away.

A few wild dogs roamed the battlefield, occasionally lowering their heads to nibble on something, then alertly looking up to prevent sudden attacks from elsewhere.

……

Zhong Gang stood in the big tent with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the map of the whole territory of Liangzhou hanging in front of him, and was silent for a long time. On the table behind him, there was an urgent message from Xining City.

After a long time, Zhong Gang shifted his gaze from Kang, Ding, and Sichuan counties to the location of Chuanfu County, where he is now, and then moved to Yumen Pass, which is twenty miles away.

His elegant face was cold, and his sharp eyes made people shudder, "Okay, Meng Ke, I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to dare to start a war against Xiliang at this time." Since you want to fight, I will fulfill you! ”

"Someone! Drum beating. If you don't get a stick of incense, drag out thirty whips. Zhong Gang's voice contained a murderous aura.

"No!"

A soldier clenched his hands into fists, knelt on one knee, and answered loudly.

Then rumbling drums sounded in the camp, and soon many generals from all directions gathered in the direction of the big tent. The general governed the army very strictly, and anyone who did not show it for no reason would be whipped for at least thirty times, and if it was serious, he would even be beheaded for public display.

After a stick of incense, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhong Gang shouted: "Point it." ”

The official took the roster and began to roll call them one by one, promising those who had been ordered, and noting the names of those who had not. After the ordering, more than 30 generals and lieutenants all arrived.

Zhong Gang sat on the handsome chair in the big tent, looked around at the people in the account, looked at the wolf Gu from the eagle, and everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to speak.

"Today, General Ben received an urgent report from Xining Prefecture that Meng Ke, the Great Khan of the Mengyuan Kingdom, led an army of 200,000 troops to the south, and has declared war on our Great Xia.

As soon as Zhong Gang said this, everyone in the account was in an uproar, Meng Yuan dared to use troops against Great Xia, it was simply looking for death. Over the years, only the Liangzhou army has used troops against the Moxi grassland, when did they become so rampant and dare to take the initiative to provoke a big war against Liangzhou?

When even a leopard with a head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger beards, a very capable lieutenant walked out of the queue, wearing heavy armor, knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "General, a certain Xiahou Tai is willing to lead his sergeants to the front line to kill the enemy." ”

Before the words fell, five or six people immediately came out to petition, "I am willing to go, hoping for the grace of the general." ”

Xiahou Tai looked back at them angrily and shouted, "What do you rabbit cubs mean? Dare to compete with Lao Tzu, do you want to go out and fight alone. ”

"Single-handed, single-handed, who is afraid that you won't succeed?"

"Let's go!" Xiahou Taiteng stood up, dragged the partial general who said that he wanted to fight alone, and prepared to leave the big tent.

“……”

"Enough, be quiet!"

Zhong Gang slapped the case and scolded loudly: "I know that there are quarrels all day long, isn't it good to have the strength to kill a few more people on the battlefield?" This time, no one will fight, and I will personally lead the army there. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe shook his feather fan lightly and asked suspiciously: "General, if you personally lead the troops there, how should the battle situation be carried out here?" ”

Zhong Gang set his eyes on one of the young men who was about twenty years old, and said indifferently: "The army retreated twenty miles and retreated to Yumen Pass. After General Ben repelled Munch, he would break the Mengxi coalition army in one fell swoop. ”

The middle-aged scribe continued to ask, "General, who is guarding the Jade Gate Pass?" ”

Zhong Gang said: "It will be handed over to Zhong Qing to lead the 5,000 sergeants of the headquarters, plus the 3,000 defenders of the original Yumen Pass, a total of 8,000 sergeants will stay at the Yumen Pass." Zhongqing, would you like to? ”

The little general named Zhong Qing came out of the queue when he heard the voice, bowed down and saluted: "The order of the little general will definitely live up to the trust of the general." ”

Zhong Gang nodded with satisfaction and advised: "Be careful in everything, don't lead troops to attack without authorization, as long as you guard the Jade Gate Pass without losing it, even if you have a great achievement." ”

"No!"

Zhong Gang stood up and ordered in a deep voice, "Order the three armies, cook on the fourth watch tomorrow, and set off on the fifth watch." ”

……

……

Helan Mountain.

In the Great Khan Palace of the Mengyuan Army, Meng Ke looked at his sister sitting next with high interest, and couldn't stop smiling on his face, "Bo Yalun, I'm so happy to see you come back safe and sound." ”

Bo Yalun's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the fox asked: "Brother Huang, why did you lead the army to conquer in person?" ”

Munch smiled: "Isn't it good for me to drive the expedition in person? ”

Bo Yalun looked back at the people in the lower palace, and after waving their hands to let them retreat, he asked in a low voice: "Brother Huang, it's not that the royal drive is not good. But when you go, who will guard the capital? You must know that King Zuo Xian has been eyeing the capital, peeking at the capital all the time. ”

The smile on Meng Ke's face gradually faded when he heard this, and he suddenly sighed, "Of course I know all this, it is because Uncle Wang has always had bad intentions. If I can't fight a beautiful victory, how can I convince the people and court officials of the Mengyuan Empire? ”

"In the past three years since I ascended the throne, I have been trembling and diligent in government affairs, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, don't I just want to do something to let them know that I am also a qualified emperor."

"Although my background is not the best, my mother is not a noble daughter of the Mengyuan tribe. But so what? Father Khan is only my son, is it wrong for him to pass on the throne to his son? Why did those uncles deny that I could not be a good Khan just because of my birth? ”

The more Meng Ke spoke, the more angry he became, these words had been buried in his heart all the time, and it was inconvenient to say them to others. Only in the face of his own sister, who is a mother-in-law, can he vent a little.

Bo Yalun quietly watched her brother complain to herself, and had to let him continue, and from time to time she comforted her.

"Brother Huang, my little sister knows your difficulties. So you said that you wanted your little sister to be friendly, and your little sister also agreed to you. And the information you wanted, my little sister also helped you get all the information. It's just that this battlefield is not a child's play, and no one can guarantee victory in a hundred battles, and there will be no accidents......"

Before Bo Yalun finished speaking, he was stopped by Meng Ke holding up his palm, "Yongning, you don't need to say it, I have made up my mind." What's more, now that I have been on the front line, how can I retreat without a fight. In this way, I am afraid that it will be even more shameful and ridiculous, so that Uncle Wang can find a handle. ”

Princess Yongning Bo Yalun looked at Meng Ke in a daze and sighed faintly.

Meng Ke suddenly smiled and said, "Little sister, don't worry about the imperial brother." With this information you sent, I am confident that I can defeat Liangzhou. Even if this is my first expedition, my 200,000-strong army is all elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time. Just a few Zhongjia soldiers, what a lot of worry! ”

Bo Yalun was blessed, "Brother Wanghuang take care of the dragon body." On this expedition, Yongning wants to go with you! ”

"Accurate!"

Munch's hearty laughter was heard from inside the palace.
