At this time, Longxi Zhuo Luo Zunli and Liang Zhong Jiaye Department also almost divided the victory and defeat, first Liang Zhong Jiaye's Minzhou was lost, Zhuo Luo Zun Li General immediately led the troops south, and quickly captured it, and more than 10,000 soldiers in Danzhou were also defeated.

The main force of more than 20,000 cavalry in Liangzhong Jiaye fought with Zhuo Luo Zunli on the bank of Weishui west of Xiangwu, and was defeated under the instability of the army, fled to Longxi and closed the city, and asked Zhang Jianxiong of Qinzhou for help.

The time was finally ripe for battle, Zhang Yue immediately convened a military meeting after receiving the report, made some changes in the previously drawn up combat strategy, and then issued an order: ordered Zhang Jianxiong to send 5,000 troops to march into Longxi, and Liu Xinfa, the assassin of Chengzhou, led 5,000 troops from Cheng and Jiezhou to enter Danzhou by Zhang Jianxiong, and must resist the attack of Zhuo Luo Zunli and other Han Qiang.

At the same time, the three brigades of the Changyi Army, which were originally assembled at Wating Pass, carried a large number of baggage equipment to the west of Dingxi Fort in the south of Huizhou, preparing to meet the Wenqi Shi Department of Qingtang Tubo. Zhang Yue also did not delay any longer, and decided to leave Feng Qianhou to act as the acting daily affairs of the government, and brought Li Duoshou, the secretary of Jiedu, Niu Congxu, the official of Tuiguan, and Xi Qingping, the inspector, to join the army.

The sky was not yet bright, and there were still lights in the house behind the mansion, Zhang Yue got up and had breakfast after morning exercise, and the women in the family had already packed up for him, and they all gathered in the main hall to prepare to send him off. Yang Xuanli took his soldiers back and forth to carry their luggage out and load them into the carriage, but Zhang Yue was still in the bedroom, hugging Song Yaozhu to say goodbye.

"It's a cold winter, and I may return to the division in the spring next year, and then you will return to Jingzhou. The only people handed over to you are Liu Guangsi and other 100 elite soldiers, plus Le Pingyang and He Ju, they should have people in their hands, you must first establish a line from Jingzhou to Guanzhong, Tangzhou, and Yuezhou, and then from Fengxiang Mansion, Fengzhou, Xingyuan Mansion to Chengdu, Wuxi Man to Tanzhou, along the east of the river to the territory of the Jiangling Gao clan, and then turn out multiple lines to gather in Yuezhou, the task is very arduous, I wish you to complete it as soon as possible. Zhang Yue sat on the desk, hugged Song Yaozhu's slender waist and sat in his arms, and his big hands were still moving around.

"Alright! I don't think it's that difficult, is that Han Furong in Shuzhong reliable, if she is willing to help, there is Li Deliang in Tangzhou and Yuezhou, which will soon be able to establish a stronghold, but what is the best way to use it for intelligence transmission? Keeping pigeons works too slowly. Song Yaozhu couldn't bear Ailang's big hands, and said a little blushing and panting.

"At present, it can only be carrier pigeons, plus manpower and fast horses!" In this era of backward transportation and lack of means of communication, Zhang Yue has no good way.

"Alright, alright...... It's time for me to go! Do you still want me to go out and run errands for you? Song Yaozhu blamed resentfully, wrenched Zhang Yue's hand, got up and tidied up the messy dress, looked in the mirror at the dresser, took a thick velvet cloak and tied it between the collar, and saw that Zhang Yue had gone out, so she followed out.

There were only two maidservants and the steward in the main hall, and Shen Xuelian had already left first. Huang Ying changed into a cyan power suit, with a short sword hanging on her belt, and a long sword in her hand, waiting under the eaves of the corridor with a package on her back.

"Don't look at it! What's wrong with being reluctant to go? Song Yaozhu stepped forward and took her matching sword and hung it on her waist, with an unnatural expression on her face.

Huang Ying let out an "ah", hurriedly followed quickly, quietly turned around and peeked at Zhang Yue, and saw that he was walking with his hands behind his back like no one else, and he was actually refreshed, so he couldn't help but pout, secretly amused in his heart. My own Ah Lang and his wife were really unscrupulous last night, making such a big noise, the sound came out, and all the people in the back house heard it, and they looked weird when they saw each other in the morning.

Zhang Yue sent the two girls out of the east side door, and a wide carriage had been parked outside, and Liu Guangsi and a hundred tooth soldiers were waiting. Zhang Yue helped the two girls to get into the car, took the reins handed by the soldiers and stepped on the war horse, and with an order, the carriage and horse team slowly started, all the way out of the east city gate.

Early in the morning, there was a mist in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, and the road was covered with white frost, but there were no pedestrians, and the cold wind was a little cut. Song Yaozhu suddenly shouted to stop the carriage, opened the curtain and poked out half of her face, looked at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "Shen Xuelian is waiting outside the West Gate, let's find your new love!" No need to send it again, I will first go to Pizhou, Qianzhou, and Yongxing Army to stay all the way for a few days, and wait for your good news for the New Year in Guanzhong! ”

"Good! Have a safe trip! Zhang Yue smiled and stopped the horses, and Liu Guangsi explained a few words, then waved goodbye, waited for the chariot and horse team to go away, and then returned to the city through the streets and out of the west city gate, Feng Qianhou, Shi Deyuan, Li Duoshou, Niu Congxu and other subordinate staff, Yang Xuanli, Erlang Zhang Cheng and other three hundred tooth soldiers led the horses and waited in the roadside tea shed.

"I wish the monarch a victory, and an early class!" Shi Deyuan smiled and arched his hand, seeing Feng Qianhou beside him, it was estimated that he had something to say, so he stepped aside with interest.

"Let's go first! I'll be here! Zhang Yue waved his hand at Yang Xuanli and said, Shen Xuelian brought two maidservants wearing military uniforms, and they were also looking at him with bows and knives, anyway, they wanted to follow the army, there was nothing to say.

Zhang Yue jumped off the horse and walked away slowly with Feng Qianhou, the four fields on the outskirts of the city were empty, and he didn't have to worry about anyone listening to anything. Zhang Yue straightened out his thoughts, and said with a solemn face: "Once this war starts, it may take a long time, Hehuang is not like the Central Plains inland has a ruling foundation, they are all Qiang tribes, and it is very troublesome to appease and integrate into governance, and many things need to be discussed between Brother Xiaode and Zhai Congen, and he will be in charge of Shuai Yin Shanghao." ”

"I know this, if there is anything special that needs to be explained, I will say it quickly." Feng Qianhou smiled and nodded.

"If there is a letter from Li Chuyun in the left wing of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, please also ask Brother Xiaode to reply to the letter, and remind him to be careful of Zhao Kuangyin, that Zhao Ding is his person." Zhang Yue was a little worried, don't finally establish a little team in the forbidden army and be broken up and bought by Zhao Kuangyin.

"It's too far away from Tokyo! We need a competent person to be stationed in Tokyo to pay attention to the DPRK and China and respond in a timely manner. Feng Qianhou smiled bitterly.

"Or ...... Wait until after the war to find someone to replace you and let you go back to Tokyo to show your talents? Zhang Yue asked with a smile, many things in the Shuai Mansion were handled silently by Feng Qianhou, and he really couldn't find such a mutually trusting, capable and like-minded candidate for a while. He can govern and govern several states with ease, but he is longer than strategy, and he is useless as a senior aide.

"Alright! I also pay attention to the wise and talented people who are good at handling copywriting and good at managing things. Feng Qianhou nodded, and several candidates had already surfaced in his mind, all of whom were friends he had made before following Zhang Yue.

"Then let's go, there is Brother Lao Xiaode!" Zhang Yue solemnly bowed, turned around and strode away.

"There is no need to worry about everything in the rear, take care of Yuanzhen!" Feng Qianhou's heart was hot, and he also bowed in return, raised his eyes to see Zhang Yue riding on his horse, and took several horsemen to go from Damaxi.

Zhang Yue led his entourage to travel lightly, when he arrived at Dingxi Fort on the 10th of the first month, Shi Chenghong had already led the main force to set up a large camp here, and gathered the army for two months, and the observation deputy envoy Chang Deben was still collecting grain and grass from Pizhou, Shi Deyuan organized a steady stream of township soldiers and people to transfer over, and the logistics were already very sufficient, but the troops were slightly weak.
