Chapter 66: Bad News

When I got the news, I had only one thought: a tooth for a tooth, a blood for a blood!

Banquan Yan Wangfu

Meng Qiu stood in the corner with an expressionless face and asked in a low voice, "The Mongolian Karaqin tribe pretended to be a caravan and colluded with the border generals to sneak attack the garrison of the underworld!" How many people were killed or wounded?! At this moment, Meng Qiu's tone was full of murderous intent!

Fifteen days ago, a field adjacent to the Mongols of the Han Dynasty was attacked by a group of Mongol cavalry of unknown origin:

The attackers were apparently premeditated, and with the covert help of the local guards, they brought large quantities of weapons and horses into the vendors' quarters under the guise of caravans. After that www.biquge.info thousands of people, under the cover of the guards, carrying bows and arrows, scimitars and other weapons, sneaked into the city overnight, and "surrounded" the underworld army under the cover of civilian houses and military camps.

On the night of the attack, it rained heavily, and the Mongols launched a surprise attack on the Hades garrison under the cover of darkness, and at the same time, the Mongols outside the city also launched a surprise attack on the field!

"Eight thousand killed and more than 13,000 wounded? The local defenders not only did not send reinforcements to resist the Mongols together, but opened the city gate under the leadership of the defender Tian Hao, and joined forces with the Mongols outside the city to fight into the city? Truly, Tian Hao, you want to die, right! Meng Qiu tried his best to control his anger, and the hands behind his back were already covered with green tendons and his joints were white because of the rage.

"Yes! Nine thousand years old, nearly 70,000 people were killed by traitors and Mongols in Xuelongguan, and the rest of the people were all taken into slavery by the Mongols! Falling to his knees, the messenger replied in a loud voice.

After half a ring, Meng Qiu exhaled, walked out of the shadows, and helped the messenger with his own hands and said. "Whew! Get up first, come on! Bandage Xiaobai's wounds, prepare food and a place to live", the messenger's face was pale, and the bandages wrapped in several places on his body had turned brown, and at a glance he knew that he had come from a long distance and had not rested all the way.

Holding the envoy to sit on a chair with his own hand, Meng Qiu spoke, his face pale at this time, and his eyes flashed with anger called "hatred". "How is Cao Wenbao? What is the current situation in Xuelongguan? Meng Qiu asked slowly.

Hearing this, Xiaobai was stunned, and immediately burst into tears, and said while crying. "At the age of 9,000, the young general led 3,000 iron cavalry to chase the Mongols in order to recover the captured people. Catching up with the enemy's main force fifty miles from Xuelong Pass, it was discovered that it was the cavalry of the Mongolian Karaqin tribe, after which the major general was surrounded by tens of thousands of Mongols. When reinforcements arrived to repel the Mongols, the 3,000 iron cavalry killed 2,983 people, and only 17 remained! The major general was seriously wounded and unconscious, and was recuperating at Xuelongguan. At this time, the Snow Dragon Pass was guarded by 50,000 people of the Underworld Army, under the leadership of Miss Hu Yanyue! My lord! Please allow us to get revenge! After that, Xiaobai rolled down from the chair directly, clenched his fists and cried.

With his head down, tears fell on the floor one by one, Xiaobai tried to control himself not to cry, he hated! He hated the brutal Mongols, and hated Tian Hao, who colluded with the Mongols to kill his compatriots. He hurts, his heart aches that the major general is seriously injured and unconscious, his heart aches for the thousands of robes who died in battle, and his heart aches for the hundreds of thousands of people who were taken captive!

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, just when Xiao Bai's heart was getting colder and colder, and he couldn't hold on. "Recuperate with peace of mind, and go to Mongolia with me ten days later, cut down the grass and root the Karaqin tribe, and leave no chickens and dogs! Avenge the death of my underworld army! The voice was soft, but it revealed unwavering conviction and endless rage.

Arrange someone to bandage Xiaobai, prepare meals and rest, Meng Qiu instructed his subordinates to prepare horses, and at the same time informed the old man Lu Shang that he rode directly to the palace.

The horse quickly passed through the dark streets of the capital, feeling the bumps of the horses, and his eyes were fixed on the Forbidden City, which was approaching a little bit, and Meng Qiu's whole person was instantly murderous. "The Mongolian Karaqin tribe, right? Since you're going to find your own death, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you kill one of my underworld soldiers, I will kill you 10,000 people to be buried with you! You must kill the corpses of your Karaqin tribe all over the field, bleeding and drifting, to pay tribute to the heroic souls of my Han soldiers who died in vain, and to pay tribute to the souls of the innocent and tragic Han people in the sky! The horse galloped to the gate of the Forbidden City, Meng Qiu rolled the saddle and dismounted, and directly sat on the bamboo basket and entered the city.

Half an hour later

Lu Shang sat on the chair, the armrest of the chair was bruised, his eyes widened angrily, and his old face was distorted. The old man is very angry now, very angry, Tian Hao's own former subordinates actually colluded with the Mongols to sneak attack the border pass, kill thousands of underworld soldiers, and kidnap hundreds of thousands of people, making this Han marshal who has been for the Han people and the country and society all his life extremely angry and disappointed.

After half a ring, Lu Shang suddenly stood up and knelt on his knees with a flick of his robe sleeves. "Your Majesty, Tian Hao colluded with the Mongolian barbarians, killed our Han soldiers, and killed and plundered the Han people. As a former marshal, the old man is to blame, please allow your majesty to lead the troops to Xuelong Pass, kill Tian Hao, rescue the abducted people, and repay my sins! With that, Lu Shang's head lowered and pressed against the ground.

Emperor Xuanhuang frowned slightly, Lu Shang, as a marshal of the Han Dynasty, did have a very high prestige in the army, and his military achievements were impressive, and he did have the strength to fight with the Mongols because he was familiar with the tactics of war. But Lu Gong is already old, can he bear the toil and bumps of the boat and car that travels thousands of miles to Mongolia?

It was also at this time that Meng Qiu spoke, and he, who had been standing with his hands and expressionless face, walked up to Lu Shang and said softly. "Father-in-law, you can't go to this thing!" , As if he didn't see Lu Shang's gaze, Meng Qiu continued to speak.

"The Hades are my subordinates, and the tragedy of the people of Snow Dragon Pass has happened to me, and this is how my home was destroyed by the barbarians. Now I want to avenge my subordinates, so that the people of Xuelong Pass do not have to die at the hands of barbarians like my parents did back then! You can wait in the capital to celebrate my achievements! After that, Meng Qiu helped Lu Gong up, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead 20,000 Xuanjia Army, 8,000 Tiger Roaring Battalion and Cangyun Dragoon, and send troops to Xuelong Pass on the same day to join the rest of the Underworld Army. Go north out of Xuelong Pass, expedition to Karaqin Department, kill them all, leave no chickens and dogs, save my Han people, and avenge the death of the Han soldiers and the people! ”。

"Quasi-play!"

After half a ring, a calm and powerful voice reached Meng Qiu's ears, and when he looked up, he saw that Emperor Xuanhuang was looking at him, looking at his younger brother.

On the side, Lu Shanglao burst into tears, but he didn't say anything, he knew that everything his righteous son did was for himself and for the people of the Han Dynasty.

"Tomorrow morning, the dynasty announced the expedition, and transferred Liaodong He Kegang to lead 130,000 Liaodong border troops into Fushun to deter the barbarians. You led 20,000 Xuanjia troops, 8,000 tiger roaring battalions, 3,000 Cangyun dragoons and 10,000 forbidden troops to the north to Xuelong Pass, and with spears in your hands, you will defend the territory and peace for my Han Dynasty! Save my Han and Li people! Avenge the death of my big man! After speaking, the Xuanhuang Emperor didn't talk nonsense, and ordered directly.

On the morning of the second day, Emperor Xuanhuang directly announced his will, and when he saw Duke Lu, who had been in seclusion for nearly ten years, and Meng Qiu, who was leaning on the pillar and looking at the important ministers with a murderous face, the ministers did not hesitate to unanimously pass the decision of the Emperor Xuanhuang.

The household department and the military department began to prepare for the expedition, and a large number of firearms and gunpowder that had just been built were transported to the military camp in the south of the city outside Banquan City.

Meng Qiu found a group of people to eat after the dispersal of the dynasty: the honorable officials who participated in the Xuanjia Army at the beginning, and some young talents in the capital who wanted to get ahead:

"Labor and management go to the Mongols desperately! Go and avenge the people of Dahan! Go and kill the Mongols with rivers of blood! Those who are not afraid of death, who want to get ahead, are still big men, and they will report to the Xuanjia Army barracks tomorrow. If you are afraid of death and don't want to fight, you will go to the Xuanjia Army barracks tonight to apply for discharge, I will not force it! ”

That night, the whole capital shook, and 10,000 forbidden troops left the imperial city for the Tiger Roar Camp station.

The mansions of countless dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital were lit up all night, and they kept discussing countermeasures until the sky was white, and then thousands of children of the nobles and young men in the capital said goodbye to their parents, wives and children, put on their horses, and left the mansion to go to the Xuanjia Army barracks.

Meng Qiu got one thing wrong: in the bloody battle of Cangyun Pass, the huge losses of the Xuanjia Army not only did not make the dignitaries in the capital resist the Xuanjia Army. On the contrary, these people want their children or themselves to join the Xuanjia Army, they know very well that people will die in battle, but they know better that as long as they follow the nine-thousand-year-old Meng Qiu to fight and die on the battlefield, they can also get good preferential treatment, not only can they leave their names in history, but their widows and bones can also be supported by the imperial court.

Not to mention, as long as they can come back alive to grasp the military power and worship the marquis and worship quite a big official, those guys who followed Meng Qiu to Cangyun Pass for the bloody battle and came back alive all had to be real generals.

Finally: this is a good opportunity to get on good terms with the nine thousand years old, and it is worth paying any price to have a good relationship with this powerful young magnate who is trusted by His Majesty!

Not to mention, the young people who have heard of Meng Qiu's conquest of Korea, mud bombardment, and destruction of the barbarians, and who have been moved by Meng Qiu's heroic deeds, will not hesitate to follow him as long as Meng Qiu raises his arms, go to the soup and fire, and do not give up!

A large number of troops began to assemble for training, a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass were transported into the barracks, and the entire Banquan was slaughtered. And Meng Qiu, the commander of the three armies, walked into his study with Lu Shang:

Meng Qiu knew that he had to make a more detailed and logical plan, and this time the enemy was much stronger than the previous Doron:

The Karaqin tribe, the strongest tribe in Mongolia, has more than 200,000 people under its command, has tens of thousands of miles of Mongolia's most fertile pastures, countless cattle, sheep and livestock, and is the richest and most powerful tribe in Mongolia.

When he saw the name of the Great Khan of the Karaqin tribe, Meng Qiu was stunned and said with embarrassment, "Well, it is said that their envoy was cut down by me before!" ”。

Tak Chechen Khan, the Great Khan of the Karaqin tribe, is just 30 years old this year, he is in the prime of life, skilled in martial arts, and full of scheming. After becoming the Great Khan of Karaqin, he annexed and controlled dozens of small tribes with both soft and hard methods, making the Karaqin tribe quickly rise to the first tribe of Mongolia, and was called the reincarnation of Genghis Khan by countless Mongolians.

"Grandson who doesn't have a long memory, he didn't know how to restrain after killing you a dog, and he continued to die, right? This time, grandpa, I'm going to kill your whole family! ”
