Chapter 163 The War in Northern Xinjiang Begins

After King Qi expressed enough attention to Xie Shence, the crown prince also showed sincerity.

Xie Shence did not refuse, but behaved the same as when King Qi was invited to the banquet, and left the banquet with an excuse shortly after the banquet began.

The princelings were puzzled, and they were indignant and helpless.

In the Cai case last year, Xie Shence was already on the side of the prince, and all the actions in the Cai case were aimed at the Qi Wang Party, so the King of Qi would lose his mind after the Cai family was defeated, and launched an assassination attempt against Xie Shence.

Now everyone in the Qi Wang Party knows that Xie Shence is the crown prince's person. So is Xie Shence the prince's person?

No.

There may be people who don't know this princeling, but the prince himself knows best.

Because even the Cai case initiated by the original Xie Shence, or the later reform of the Tiqi Division, Xie Shence is just acting alone.

Xie Shence never asked the prince for help. The prince didn't look for Xie Shence, or rather, he looked for Xie Shence, but Xie Shence ignored it. From beginning to end, Xie Shence was fighting alone, and the crown prince was just providing some help within his power where Xie Shence might need it.

It is not so much that Xie Shence is helping the prince, but that the prince tacitly cooperates with Xie Shence to a certain extent.

It's actually a very simple thing.

Xie Shence is Xie Shence, and it is also the Xie family, in this battle between the King of Qi and the crown prince, in the end, he still did not choose to stand in that team. Because Xie Shence and the two parties, the two parties and Xie Shence, there is no real contact.

(Well, just a little paragraph will make it all clear.) But some people, like me, just like to think of simple things as complicated. )

For example, the current Sima Bi.

Sima Bi had already returned to Cangzhou, and after setting a wedding date for Sima Tan and Xie Shenpei, Sima Bi left, leaving Sima Tan in Jindu.

At this time, Sima Bi stood on the wall of Hejian Mansion, looking at the rising wolf smoke in the north, but he was thinking about some things in the Jin capital. He didn't understand why Xie Shence had such an attitude now, although he could roughly guess some of the prince's thoughts, but he didn't know much about the current situation of Jindu.

The wife he chose for his second son Sima Tan was the eldest daughter of Xie Shang, the second master of the Xie family, and this move may have brought a lot of trouble to King Qi. A sneer tugged at the corner of Sima Bi's mouth.

There are some things that need to be repaid......

A herald came running quickly and reported to Sima Bi: "Tell the general, the advance of the Northern Yan Youzhou Iron Cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from my river!" ”

The herald's loud voice woke Sima Bi from his contemplation, and he whispered a military order.

"Life, a hundred miles south of Hejian Mansion, the strong wall is clear."

A middle-aged scribe beside Sima Bi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "General, the north of Hejian Mansion has already been fortified and cleared, and with the fine food of the Hejian soldiers, it is enough to be an 80,000 iron cavalry in Youzhou, why ...... to the south?"

Without waiting for the middle-aged scribe to finish speaking, Sima Bi said: "Beiyan's army this time is not only to avenge Duanbu, but also to seize the opportunity first." ”

The middle-aged scribe thought for a moment, then stretched his brows and said, "The general is so calculating." ”

Sima Bi smiled faintly. Then he strode down the walls.

In mid-June, an eight-hundred-mile rush from the north plunged the Jin capital into chaos.

100,000 iron horsemen in Fanyang, Youzhou, Northern Yan, invaded the territory, and Hejian Mansion fell.

Emperor Jin was furious at the court meeting on June 15, and scolded Sima Bi for being bloody, if it weren't for Sima Bi's absence in the main hall, Emperor Jin would definitely kill him with a golden gourd.

Then Emperor Jin issued an order to hold the north at all costs, and then counterattacked. The Great Jin will enter the whole country into a state of war.

The fall of Hejian Mansion caught the northern part of the Great Jin Dynasty off guard for a while, and then the Youzhou Iron Cavalry went down to the three cities and approached Cangzhou.

......

The young Ranger straddled and sat on his horse and galloped, his helmet had fallen off, his leather armor was tattered and bloodstained, he was wearing a cloak, he grabbed the reins with one hand, and whipped the horse under his crotch with the other, without mercy for the horse's physical strength.

The speed of the war horse had reached its limit, and a long stream of gray-white smoke dragged behind the man and the horse, like a long tail, and the hair of the young ranger floated behind his head, and the strands of hair stained with dust, oil, and blood flew up and down like braids.

It was supposed to be a scene of galloping horses in the sunset, but it was destroyed by a severed feathered arrow behind the rangers.

He's dead...... All dead......

The Rangers have hollow eyes.

Since Captain Ma left, their team of rangers has been expanded because of the accumulation of military achievements, and now there is a battalion, a brigade of 200 people! The original captain was already the battalion commander, and he also became a squad leader because of his military exploits, with thirty people under him.

After the formation of the Ranger Battalion in February, he was promoted to squad leader, and finally had the money and confidence to propose to the girl. When he stood at the door of the girl's house wearing a full-fledged armor that only a captain had, a helmet with gray feathers, a pestle, and a sword, the girl's parents were frightened, and the scholar who came to the door in the morning to propose marriage was even more frightened. But when the girl saw him coming, she finally had a smile on her face, which was originally a little tear-stained.

The end result is known to everyone. He is a soldier, but he also knows politeness, and when Captain Ma was there, he often told them to respect the old and love the young, so he just stood in front of the door for a while, and did not say anything excessive, let alone do anything excessive. The girl's parents rejected the scholar's proposal on the spot, and in mid-March he put on a big red robe to the ridicule of his comrades, and became married.

He knew that his colleagues laughed at him for being afraid of his wife in the future, but in fact, he was still afraid that he would suffer the loss of his snobbish father-in-law and mother-in-law. The battalion commander said nonsense that "I will carry something in the future" when he drank too much at the wine table, but the bride laughed it off, which made him very embarrassed.

After that, after that...... I'm about to become a father...... In fact, there is still more than half a year. The old military doctor in the camp said that it should be a boy, so it's good, even if he dies now, he can leave a legacy for his family, as for her...... If he doesn't want to serve his parents, then it doesn't matter, there is a sister-in-law at home. It's just that the eldest brother has died on the battlefield a long time ago, and the burden of the sister-in-law is even heavier......

There was a sword and blood shadow in front of him, and there was another shout of killing in his ears, and he saw the eyes of the battalion commander with more than a hundred surviving rangers who had survived the hard battle to launch a suicidal charge against the enemy's outpost of 800 men.

"Dog's day! Lao Tzu let you go first! Your still has a big belly, go back to raising your old lady! Get out! ”

He escaped with ten people in tears, but now he is the only one left, and the military information written by the battalion commander in the blood of barbarians is still on himself...... Feeling the pain in his back, the young Ranger hesitated to destroy it.

It's just that...... If you really can't swallow it, swallow it.

A city wall finally appeared in front of me, it was Cangzhou City, it was Cangzhou City!

The young ranger became excited, getting closer and closer, he saw the city gate slowly open, and he saw a team of cavalry rushing out of the city gate, it was the most elite ivory cavalry of the Northern Army, and the front horse, white robe and white armor, was the leader of the Ivory Army, Yuhua Pavilion.

The young ranger wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, and the sound of horses' hooves was already ringing behind him, which was the Youzhou Iron Cavalry outpost catching up.

It's too late......

Suddenly, the war horse under the crotch lost its front hooves, and with a wail, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and died, and he suddenly found that the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, and then he knew nothing in front of him.

Before he lost consciousness, it suddenly occurred to him that Captain Ma hadn't drunk his own wine, and no one in his team of rangers could drink Captain Ma's wine.

Yu Huating saw that the ranger horse stumbled and fell to the ground, and when a few of the Youzhou cavalry behind dismounted and were about to take the letter, the bow was an arrow, and the first horse and the horse were shot to the ground, and then the three Youzhou cavalry who stopped also got on their horses, caught up with nearly two hundred people in front, and began to charge.

Since it has been hit under the city, if you don't kill these 100 people, then even if you get the military information, you can't take it away, so you just fight it first.

After Yuhua Pavilion's arrow worked, he did not hesitate to take a hundred ivory cavalry and began to accelerate the charge.

After the two sides exchanged a wave of arrows and injured more than a dozen people, they retracted their bows and drew their swords, and the whole team adjusted their posture when adjusting their formation, and after a short sprint, the two armies collided fiercely.

Yuhua Pavilion was of course under the greatest pressure as an arrowhead, and a silver spear was already stained with blood after killing the heavy locks of the Youzhou cavalry, and the body of the spear was also cut with a knife and axe.

Someone rescued the ranger, and then handed the letter in his arms to Yuhua Pavilion, who stuffed it directly into the cuirass without looking at it, and then roared and rushed towards the Youzhou cavalry again with the remaining dozens of people.

Half an hour later, the city gate opened again, and a team of more than 100 cavalry rushed out, followed by a team of auxiliaries, and began to clean up the battlefield.

Yuhuating dismounted and was wiping the barrel of the spear with the liner of a centurion.

"Your Excellency."

An officer in the armor of a lieutenant rolled over and dismounted, and walked in front of the Yuhua Pavilion.

Yuhuating nodded and said, "This ranger is Xin Lan's person, and he is not dead, so he sent it back to Xin Lan, and said that the ivory army came back." ”

Yuhuating took out the piece of cloth with blood written on it and said, "Give this to the general." I'm going to Dingzhou. Tell the general when you see him. ”

The lieutenant took the information, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Commander, this Ranger ......"

As he spoke, he made a downward stroke with one hand.

Yuhuating frowned and reprimanded: "Stupid, you have already survived, you must keep it!" Let Xin Lan handle it herself. ”

"Then what happened to the Lord Commander going to Dingzhou? General Guo's side...... Nothing happened. ”

Yu Huating sneered, and said while tying up his cuirasse: "Guo Fei is in big trouble and in trouble. These 100 people come with me. You go back and let the general prepare, Cangzhou, Jinzhou and Shenzhou are on the front line, and it is estimated that there will be a vicious battle to be fought. ”

The lieutenant was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Could it be that General Guo is in danger?" If this is the case, a hundred people will not be enough. ”

"Just go and see, if Guo Fei is dead, then I naturally won't go."

The lieutenant took the order, and Yuhuating then ran west with a hundred men.

......

At this time, Xie Shence had not returned to Weihou Mansion for two consecutive days and two nights.

When Caiyi helped him wipe the sweat on his forehead and rested a little, Xie Shence raised his head and felt lazy.

This northern ...... It's too fast.
