Chapter 472: Mutation

"I'm not going to let you be a dog!" Looking at the little tiger lying at his feet, Zhao Xun pinched his chin and said. After a month of feeding, the two big tigers can be regarded as able to get along peacefully with Zhao Xun, and these three-foot-sized little tigers seem to like to follow Zhao Xun more than their parents.

Zhao Xun sat on the chair, and the little tiger leaned on Zhao Xun's lap, and his head rested on Zhao Xun's feet, so that people could see that where was the king of beasts, it was simply a big cat.

Zhao Xun wiped the silky hair on the little tiger's back, and the little tiger opened his mouth and licked it at the end of his nose. Zhao Xun, who was watching, couldn't help but shake his head, a tiger, spoiled by himself.

Don't look docile now, he is not a vegetarian, he is usually fed with livestock and let him hunt for food. So, it looks docile on the outside, but it's not.

Stayed in Dingbei City for a month, Dingbei City has basically been built, and all the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army will be stationed here and rotate every six months. The Khitan Eight Banners were also formally established, and the formal training of the Xiaoguo Army was launched.

"My lord! Youzhou Urgent! It is 800 miles from Shunzhou City! After Wei Dong entered the door, he said with a stern face.

"Eight hundred miles expedited?" Zhao Xun was stunned, it seems that something big must have happened.

Because the Khitan grassland did not have a perfect carrier pigeon transmission system, most of the information was transmitted by messengers. Courier delivery is generally divided into ordinary messengers, 400 miles expedited, 600 miles expedited, in addition to a special speed, that is, 800 miles expedited.

This 800-mile expedited is not 800 miles a day, but to run to the death, change horses and not people, until the point. Wherever they went, no matter how high or low they were, they were not to be obstructed, pedestrians were to avoid it, and they could unconditionally requisition anyone's horses and necessary supplies. Every time he travels, he is accompanied by twelve guards, and if he is hindered, he can be killed on the spot. In addition, this is the only case where the person who is killed is not responsible, but has to deal with the responsibility. Therefore, unless it is an important event, generally, it will not be easy to send out 800 miles to expedite.

"Let people in!" Zhao Xun said urgently.

A moment later, a soldier with a tired face was added.

"No salute!" Seeing the other party's appearance, Zhao Xun hurriedly said.

When the messenger heard this, he was not ambiguous, and immediately handed over the letter. Zhao Xun took a look, and the special seals and marks on it suddenly shocked him. The mark of this small black sword shows that it is related to the war.

"Arrange for them to rest first!"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhao Xun immediately opened the letter, and the more he looked at it, the worse his face became. Even Wei Dong and Wei Chen, who were on the side, deeply felt the anger that Zhao Xun wanted to explode.

"Bump!" Zhao Xun punched the table beside him.

Seeing that his master seemed to be angry, "How...... also rolled over and got up, raising his head and roaring.

"Wuwei Army, Shence Army, you are looking for death!" Zhao Xun said gloomily.

"Han Meng! Gather the personal guard battalion, Wei Dong, let the Metropolitan Governor accompany the guards to prepare, and we will set off immediately. ”

In April of the 27th year of Xuanwu, at the time of the battle between Zhao Xun and Murowei, the 60,000 troops of the Wuwei Army and the Shence Army converged with the 10,000 troops of Langya Mansion and Gaomi Mansion, and a total of 70,000 troops were dispatched from the south and southeast at the same time to kill Donglai Mansion, resulting in the loss of half of Donglai Mansion, and the loss of more than 7,000 troops of the Eighth Prefecture, 5,000 soldiers of the navy, more than 3,000 county soldiers, and thousands of township soldiers.

In fact, no one expected that the two guards would ignore the suppression of Xuzhou and raid the Donglai Mansion branch of the Xiaoguo Army, which had just successfully negotiated peace with Murong Cheng. If it weren't for the Wei army contacting the prominent clans of Donglai Mansion, and some of them communicated to the Xiaoguo Army, I am afraid that the entire territory of Donglai Mansion would be lost.

Before and after the peace talks with Murong Cheng that day, the Shadow Division also monitored the two guards. It's just that at that time, the first part of the guard army went to sea as an accompanying Yangzhou naval army battlefield, and the Xiaoguo army didn't care about it, thinking that the two guards lost to capture the Qingzhou naval army, and after giving up, they prepared to take a boat to Yangzhou in the south of Xuzhou to suppress Xuzhou on both sides.

And Cao Bin, the governor of Qingzhou, rectified the government army without Murong Cheng's consent, which also caused Murong Cheng to be dissatisfied. The guards even ordered the government troops of Langya Mansion and Gaomi Mansion not to listen to the orders of the governor of Qingzhou and leave the mansion for training. Immediately, another 20,000 people marched north, and there was a great posture of liquidation with the governor of Qingzhou. And Cao Bin, the governor of Qingzhou, was not ambiguous, and immediately set up a position at the junction of Langya Mansion and Beihai Mansion, and at the same time asked the Xiaoguo Army for help.

According to Zhao Xun's intentions, Li Lingfeng assisted the Governor of Qingzhou to stand on his own, and also secretly supported the Governor of Qingzhou, and the army moved eastward, forming a rivalry with the Qingzhou Governor Army in Beihai Prefecture.

The three armies gathered, and no one made a move, Cao Bin and Li Lingfeng were very puzzled by this, and they didn't know what the guards were doing. However, Li Lingfeng's Xiaoguo army was able to ease up with the Qingzhou army and reached an offensive and defensive alliance.

At this time, five or six prominent clans in Huangxian, Yuguo, and Qucheng all sent people to report to Li Lingfeng, saying that the Wei army was uniting the big clans in each county and letting them respond internally, attack Donglai Mansion, and take the Qingzhou Naval Army.

Li Lingfeng was suddenly shocked, and after reporting to Cao Bin, he immediately gathered troops to defend the counties of Donglai Province. However, at this time, the southeast of Donglai Province was breached, and the 20,000 troops of the Wei army appeared from Lingzhou Mansion in the southern section of the east from Qingzhou and entered the territory of Donglai Province.

Fortunately, Li Lingfeng was notified and began to let the counties prepare, which slowed down the advance of the guards. The general of the Wei Army did not expect that the big clan, which had always been opposite to the Xiaoguo Army, would fall to the Xiaoguo Army within a few months.

While attacking in the southeast, the guards in the southwest who were fighting against the Qingzhou army immediately marched to the two in the northeast and entered the territory of Donglai Province. Although most of the big clans fell to the Xiaoguo Army, there were still some landlords who were resentful of the Xiaoguo Army, and the Wei Army was powerful, so they did the internal response of the Wei Army.

Li Lingfeng, who had no choice but to let the navy come to assist while notifying northern Hebei and Youzhou. Donglai Mansion was attacked on both sides, Rao was brave and good at fighting, but it could not offset the contrast between strength and weakness, and more importantly, the defense in the east of Donglai Mansion was empty, so that the guards broke through five counties in a row, and the west also broke through two counties.

Cao Bin also knew that once the Xiaoguo army was gone, he would definitely be the next target of the guards, and he also sent troops to the west of Donglai Province to threaten the flanks of the guards, so that they would not dare to attack with confidence.

Fang De, the general of the Qingzhou Navy Army, personally led 10,000 sailors to support the eastern counties of Donglai Province. It can only be said that the naval army is better at water warfare, and is not very good at defending cities and field formations. As a result, more than 5,000 losses were lost in a row, and Fang De's face turned blue in pain. It wasn't until the county soldiers, Xiang Yong, and the soldiers of the Eighth Mansion of the Xiaoguo Army arrived that Fang De was relieved.

When it was carefully transmitted to northern Hebei and Youzhou, northern Hebei was the first to react, and the remaining 10,000 people in the eighth province were transported to Donglai Mansion by the warships of the Qingzhou Naval Army. Subsequently, the Youzhou Military Affairs Department also ordered that the Youzhou Navy Army was dispatched to march to Qingzhou, detoured to the south of Lingzhou Mansion, and attacked the two guards from the back. At the same time, this information was transmitted to the five prefectures of Beiding and to Zhao Xun.

When the Xiaoguo army retreated to the last five prefectures, reinforcements from northern Hebei arrived, and the appearance of earth-shaking thunder stabilized the situation.

Knowing that the situation had eased, Cao Bin realized that in the eyes of the guards, he was simply a scumbag, and people didn't put themselves in their eyes. Looking at the situation of the Xiaoguo Army, seven counties were taken overnight. If you are yourself, an army of 70,000 is enough to completely destroy yourself.

In any case, Cao Bin can't leave it alone. The smooth relationship between Xiaoguo Jun and Murong Cheng also became confusing because of the sudden dispatch of the Wei army.

"Brother Wang, what do you think of it now?" Cao Bin said with a wry smile.

Wang Yanqing sneered: "The Wei Army has caused a big disaster this time, do you think the Xiaoguo Army is really easy to provoke?" Do you think Zhao Xun is an obedient master? I heard that Zhao Xun went to conquer Mu Wei, and now, the Xiaoguo army is busy recruiting foreign enemies, but there are people inside who want to stimulate him. You wait and see, the Xiaoguo Army is going to make a big move. ”

Jizhou, which intersects with Qingzhou, was the fastest to get the news from the outside. After hearing this, Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou, was stunned for a while. Immediately after that, he ordered all the prefectures of Jizhou to prohibit any troops from the south from entering the country.

"It seems that this time Zhao Xun finally let Zhao Xun raise the knife to the territory of Yan Kingdom." Feng Meng smiled bitterly. For Zhao Xun, he didn't dare to say that he knew very well, but he knew that this time he would definitely not give up lightly.
