――Time goes back to the middle of February of the fifth year of Jingzhi――

In mid-February, Xie Anshang was leading the Jizhou soldiers on the march day and night to reach the Liyang Hengjiang, and Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, was about to suffer his first draw and defeat against the withered sheep of the former Taiping army Niuzhu army commander near the Liyang Hengjiang.

The two commander-level figures sent to Jiangnan by the Great Zhou Dynasty were still firmly dragged to death by the Taiping Army in Jiangnan, and at this time in Jizhou in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the troops in the northern Xinjiang successively launched a real onslaught after the beginning of spring.

Following the Rebellion of the Three Kings led by Li Shen, the King of Qin, the Great Zhou finally ushered in the second civil war after the new emperor Li Shou ascended the throne. And this opponent is the lord of the Northern Frontier, the first warrior of the Li clan of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, "Yan King" Li Mao!

When it comes to the four princes and Li Mao, the king of Yan, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty will never be unfamiliar, whether it is Li Mao's Liangqiu family in the Donggong Mansion who studied martial arts in the family of the tiger general for generations under the mediation of the former emperor Li Ji, or Li Mao once took Liangqiu Dance to the north to resist the invasion of Wairong, these high-profile deeds have always been talked about by the people of the world after tea and dinner.

Therefore, when Li Mao suddenly announced that the world was not subject to the rule of Li Shou, the son of heaven, a few years ago, the entire world couldn't help but keep their eyes on this war for the throne.

Some people may wonder why when Li Shen, the king of Qin, rebelled, everyone in the world spat and scolded him, but when Li Mao, the king of Yan, rebelled, the people of the world only paid attention to this matter?

The reason is very simple, because Li Mao is the hero of the Great Zhou, a national hero and a national hero who fought against Wairong!

Someone once said that those who are not of our race will have different hearts, and this sentence is undoubtedly the most reasonable portrayal of the war on the border of northern Xinjiang. According to historical records, in the hundreds of years that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been inherited, the nomads on the grassland have always been the henchmen of the Great Zhou. I don't know how many people died in it.

In the eyes of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the nomads of the grassland tribes are simply malignant existences, especially the people in the land of Youyan. I can't wait to eat its flesh raw.

But it is a pity that the Great Zhou pair in the war with the steppe. The victory and defeat have always remained at 40%.

Some people may wonder if the Great Zhou has the Liangqiu family, a tiger general who has frequently appeared in the past dynasties, and the Great Zhou will still fall behind in the war with the grassland?

It takes a lot of effort to explain this matter.

It is true that the Liangqiu family of Donggongfu has attracted much attention, and it is not false that generations have been able to cultivate peerless generals who are unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately, the clansmen who appear on the Liangqiu family tree. In fact, most of the lifespans of those unequaled generals who have left their names in history are only thirty or forty years old, and even some of them are outstanding, and they died violently in their twenties.

According to historical records. So far, the Liangqiu family, which has been passed down to 12 generations, has trained more than 70 generals, of which 27 can reach the level of official worship of the general in terms of meritorious service, and 18 have gone to the grassland. According to the folklore of the Land of the Swallows. But whenever there is a battle led by the general of the Liang Qiu family, the grassland tribes are all defeated and fled, and because of this, the position of the Liang Qiu family in the military has been in the ascendant for hundreds of years.

But as the so-called success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, because there is a family mastery of Wuyan. The clansmen of the Liangqiu family have become the high-profile generals of the Great Zhou one by one, but because of this, very few people can survive.

The sad lessons of more than ten generations have made the children of the Liangqiu family dare not use the fog flame frequently, just like Liang Qiu Gong, although he is over sixty years old, the number of times he has used the fog flame is very few, even less than Liang Qiu Hao and Liang Qiu dance cousins. And what's worse is that it doesn't mean that you can live unharmed to the end of your life without using the fog flame, people like Liang Qiu Gong who have survived for generations, in addition to rarely using the fog flame, the main reason is that their physical fitness is significantly stronger than other clansmen.

Just like Liang Qiu Hao, who has not met a genius in a hundred years in Liang Qiugong's mouth, Xie An's brother-in-law has never had too serious sequelae in his body when he casts the fog flame, and Liang Qiu dance will not either, which shows that their physical strength can withstand and even adapt to the heavy burden caused by the family stunt fog inflammation.

But unfortunately, not everyone in the Liangqiu family has the strong physical fitness of Liang Qiu Hao and Liang Qiu Dance cousins, otherwise, how could Liang Qiu Gong, the tiger in the world, fall?

When it comes to Liang Qiugong, the "Tiger of Northern Xinjiang", most of the people in the land of Youyan will have tears in their eyes, because it was this unparalleled fierce general who was too weak at that time to end the weakness of the Great Zhou Dynasty against the grassland tribes in recent decades, and began to train cavalry to counterattack the grassland.

As for the eldest prince Li Yong, whose prestige later resounded all over the world, in fact, he only inherited the Yuyang Iron Cavalry created by Liang Qiugong, so he repeatedly won in the battles against the grassland.

But Li Mao is different, when Li Mao settled in Yuyang and took over the northern Xinjiang, the Yuyang Iron Cavalry had already existed in name only, and His Royal Highness, the fourth prince of the royal family, completely relied on his personal bravery to create an elite iron cavalry again. Although Li Mao also learned from the Liangqiu family, it is undeniable that Li Mao had more outstanding talents than the eldest prince Li Yong after the war.

Sitting in northern Xinjiang for nearly ten years, more than 20 battles of counterattacking the grassland, not only recovered the hundred-mile grassland that was once defeated by Liang Qiugong, the tiger of northern Xinjiang, but also to this extent, once again went north, planting the tiger flag of northern Xinjiang on the land hundreds of miles away from the border of the Great Zhou.

Hundreds of miles away, this is equivalent to a large county and a half, or even more, whether it is the grassland tribe or the people of the land of Youyan, they all think that Li Mao, the king of Yan, is the first fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty after the tiger Liang Qiu Gong of the northern Xinjiang, and he is a national hero without reproach.

Because of this, when Li Mao, the king of Yan, resolutely raised an army to attack Jijing, the people of Youyan Land took the lead in standing beside the king they were surrounded by.

The hearts of the people, this is the biggest difference between Li Mao, the king of Yan, and Li Shen, the king of Qin: when Li Shen, the king of Qin, raised an army, the hearts of the people in Hanzhong were not completely dependent, but when Li Mao, the king of Yan, raised an army, the people of Youyan supported Li Mao wholeheartedly, and thought that Li Mao was better than Li Shou and more qualified to become the emperor of the Great Zhou.

And this is the biggest difference between Li Mao, the king of Yan, and Li Shen, the king of Qin, and it is also what the Jijing court is most worried about.

Fortunately, the Great Zhou court still has Liang Qiuwu, the first combat force in the court, to guard Boling, otherwise, even with the four towns of Jijing, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the Yuyang Iron Cavalry in the northern Xinjiang, after all, the Yuyang Iron Cavalry is an elite cavalry that has beaten the grassland nomads, the malignant tumor of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and fled in embarrassment. In terms of strength, I am afraid that even the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army is not completely sure that it will be able to win steadily.

"I don't know how An's situation is in Jiangnan......"

In the mansion of the temporary general's mansion in Boling City, Liang Qiu Wu wiped his sweat with a dry towel after finishing his martial arts training that year. He said faintly while looking at the sky.

Although it is said that in the beginning of spring, Boling is a city and county in the north. The weather is not as fast as the Jiangnan warmer, and in the oncoming breeze, it is still so cold that the heart and lungs are cold, but Liang Qiu Wu only wraps his chest with strips of cloth, and his entire upper body is exposed to the cold air.

She didn't feel cold at all.

Incredibly, her skin was faintly reddish. If you get closer, you can even feel the burst of heat coming from Liang Qiu Wu's body.

If Liang Qiuhao was still there and saw this scene, he would probably be surprised because of his cousin Liang Qiuhao. At the moment, the fog is being maintained smoothly.

And only by doing this, can we truly master the two forms of fog inflammation, inflammation.

Flame, a kind of Liangqiu family's supreme mastery that is more powerful and more costly than the fog flame, when it is cast, it is as if the whole person is roasted on a charcoal fire. The intense pain was accompanied by unbearable heat in the body, and although the five senses were weakened, the intuition and strength were greatly increased.

Once when Liang Qiu Wu was in the battle of northern Hebei, he was once unable to control this trick and went berserk, resulting in no distinction between the enemy and me.

According to Liang Qiuhao himself. The power brought by casting Inflammation to stimulate his body is three times the power obtained by casting Fog Flame, and it was by relying on Inflammation that he defeated Liangqiu Dance and Jin Ling'er at the same time. You must know that the Liangqiu Dance was in the best state at that time, and Jin Linger also used the medical taboo technique of stimulating acupuncture points with silver needles, so that the personal physical state could be on par with the Liangqiu Dance.

However, even so, Liang Qiuwu and Jin Ling'er still lost to Liang Qiuhao without any suspense, and at that time, Liang Qiuhao was still in Mofei to consume more than a hundred breaths of strength, which can be imagined that the strength of the flames is strong.

If it weren't for Liang Qiuhao having gone to another world, he would probably feel a lot of pressure, after all, his cousin Liang Qiuwu was extremely close to his original realm, although there were still some flaws, but over time, it would not be difficult to completely master this mastery. After all, with the help of Xie An, Liang Qiu Wu finally restrained the pain and mania caused by the mist and flame two types of inflammation.

"Bang Bang!" There was a burst of applause next to the small martial arts arena, and immediately, a strong man with five big and three thick stepped forward and handed a bucket to Liang Qiu Wu.

This person is the head of the four generals of the Eastern Army, known as Yan Kai who "cannot be opened in case of strictness", and is the best general in the Eastern Army to defend the city.

"Whew-"

Liang Qiuwu took the bucket of water and poured it on top of his head, letting the cold water soak all over his body. It is incredible, when the cold water touches Liang Qiu Wu's body, it not only makes a sneering sound, but also white gas, which can be imagined The temperature of Liang Qiu Wu's body.

After being poured with cold water, the reddish skin and complexion on the surface of Liang Qiu Wu's body gradually returned to normal, she took a deep breath, and spit out a mouthful of hot air before handing the empty bucket back to Yan Kai.

"Miss has been able to maintain the fog flame for a long time, if the ancestors of my Liangqiu family know about it, I am afraid that it will be under the Jiuquan and smile......" Taking the empty bucket, Yan Kai couldn't help but praise.

You must know that for the four generals of the Eastern Army, Liangqiu Dance, who they have watched grow up since childhood, is both the head of the family and the younger sister, and now Liangqiu Dance can have this achievement, and they are also very happy in their hearts.

"It's not enough!" Liang Qiu Wu shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Liang Qiu Hao has been abandoned for at least seven or eight years, and he can still raise the fog flame to the level of intense flame earlier than me, if I want to surpass this person, I must put in more efforts!" - Ten times, a hundred times! ”

Yan Kai was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "But the eldest prince is no longer there......"

It's no wonder that he was stunned, after all, his uncle Xie An had sent the news of Liang Qiuhao's death and the robe he wore before his death back to the Liangqiu family in Jijing a month ago.

"......" Liang Qiuwu was silent, silently looking up at the sky, for some reason he showed a little sadness.

Glancing deeply at Liang Qiu Wu, Yan Xing sighed secretly. In his opinion, Liang Qiu Wu most likely regarded his cousin Liang Qiu Hao as the object of pursuit in the martial arts, and now that Liang Qiu Hao is dead, although Liang Qiu Wu keeps saying that she wants to kill Liang Qiu Hao, she has been hit. I'm afraid it's also the biggest.

After all, according to Liang Qiu Gong, Liang Qiu Hao is a martial arts wizard that Liang Qiu Wu can hardly catch up with in this life, and when Liang Qiu Wu, who is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat, he wants to catch up with that cousin. The cousin was killed in battle.

Who can understand the sadness and frustration in Liang Qiuwu's heart?

Perhaps thinking of this layer, Yan Kai deliberately misinterpreted Liang Qiu Dance's silence. Laughed teasingly, "Is Miss worried about my uncle?" ”

Although Liangqiu Dance is superb in martial arts, his scheming city is very shallow, so he immediately brought Yan Kai's words over, shook his head slightly and said, "A little bit...... However, with Liu Qing's sister and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the woman is here, and An will definitely not suffer a loss! ”

"The last general thinks so!" Yan Kai nodded. said with a smile, "The last time I had good news, I said that my uncle had calmed down the turmoil of the Three Kings, and I counted the days. At present, my uncle is probably leading his troops to attack the Taiping army in Jiangnan...... Maybe when the next good news arrives, my uncle will even calm down Jiangnan! ”

Liang Qiuwu smiled slightly, although he didn't speak, the joy in his beautiful eyes couldn't be hidden from Yan Kai at all.

Although it is never said in the mouth, it is undeniable. The credit that her husband Xie An received was more joyful than the ten credits she received for Liangqiu Dance. The so-called Wangfu Jackie Chan probably refers to this.

"Ah, An will definitely be able to live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the imperial court and pacify the Taiping army in Jiangnan!" Took a deep breath. Liang Qiu Wu said in conclusion.

Yan Kai was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled slightly, he couldn't help but think of the things before and after Xie An's uncle was arrested in the Donggong Mansion.

Who would have thought that the Guangling man who was rumored to be going to join the Liangqiu family in Jijing back then would become one of the most powerful courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty a few years later? Even, he compared the reputation of his Liangqiu family.

After a few words of conversation and laughter, Liang Qiuwu finally shifted the focus of the conversation from his husband Xie An to the current war on Boling's side.

"Brother Yan, now that spring has begun, the weather is gradually getting warmer, I think the soldiers of the Northern Frontier are about to fight, right?"

"Hmm!" Seeing Liang Qiu Wu talking about business, the expression on Yan Kai's face also became serious, and he nodded and agreed, "What Miss said is extremely true, but it is not so easy for Li Mao to conquer this Boling!" ”

Yan Kai's words were full of confidence.

It's not that Yan Kai underestimated the enemy, he just has strong confidence in his own young lady and the Eastern Army under his command. Here, the previous record with the soldiers of the Northern Frontier is enough to make him proud.

Thirteen victories!

Such a proud record is shocking enough to be placed there. Who would have thought that the northern Xinjiang soldiers, who made the grassland people fear like tigers, would lose thirteen battles in a row in Boling. Although Li Mao, the king of Yan, has not come forward once, and although the elite Yuyang Iron Cavalry in the northern Xinjiang has not been used so far, it is undeniable that the 100,000 northern Xinjiang soldiers were almost beaten into a sieve by the Liangqiu dance.

Even the so-called Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang could hardly resist the strength of Yan Hu Ji!

This is the Liangqiu Dance, the longitudinal Sun Xiangyu also has to fight the Liangqiu Dance of Yanhu Ji and deal with it carefully, the first combat force of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Liangqiu Dance guarding the city and county of Boling and guarding the gateway to the north of Jijing that the capital of Hebei can be so peaceful.

"Click-"

The sound of riding boots stepping on the snow could be heard from far and near.

Liang Qiu Wu and Yan Kai turned their heads to look, just in time to see Xiang Qing coming from a distance.

Xiang Qing, the general with the most iron relationship with Xie An among the four generals of the Eastern Army, known as the "Little Overlord", has never been defeated by any enemy general except for Liang Qiuhao, and even Fei Guo, the first fierce general in the Jizhou Army, is not completely sure that he can defeat Xiang Qing, and is faintly the strongest general in the Eastern Army.

It's a pity that this person is uninhibited, and his appearance is really not as reliable as Yan Kai and Chen Gang, but this time, Xiang Qing's solemn expression gives people a rather reliable illusion.

"What's wrong? Third Brother Xiang? Seeing that Xiang Qing's expression was abnormal, Liang Qiuwu asked suspiciously. After all, Xiang Qing and Luo Chao had been acting as scouts outside Boling before, not only monitoring every move of the Northern Xinjiang Army, but also acting as a surprise soldier waiting for an opportunity to attack the enemy camp, and this time he suddenly returned to Boling, which was a bit unexpected by Liang Qiu Wu and Yan Kai.

"Something happened......" said in a low voice, Xiang Qing looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he continued in a low voice, "Xiao Luo found that the Northern Xinjiang soldiers seemed to have signs of climbing the mountain to bypass my Boling...... Xiao Luo in his mouth was referring to Luo Chao, the fourth general of the Eastern Army.

"Mountain climbing? Snow hills near my Boling? Yan Kai asked in surprise.

"Hmm!" Xiang Qing nodded solemnly.

"It can't be mistaken, right?" Seeing this, Yan Kai was stunned and said in surprise. "The east and west sides of my Boling are hundreds of zhang high snow hills, which are steep and difficult to walk, and there are many steep cliffs on the way. If ordinary people climb, few will survive. Even if the Northern Xinjiang soldiers are impatient, they won't go to that kind of place to die, right? - If there is an avalanche, it will be annihilated! ”

Xiang Qing licked his lips when he heard this, and said, "I thought so at first, so I didn't pay attention to it, and let the three thousand or so Northern Xinjiang soldiers go towards the snow hills." But yesterday Xiao Luo suddenly sent someone to contact me, saying that the army of about 3,000 soldiers from the northern frontier disappeared without a trace under his nose...... The stakes are high. So I'll be right back and report it! ”

"Disappeared near the snow hills?" Yan Kaiyan touched his chin when he heard this, and pondered, "Are you sure you climbed the snow hill?" Or is it just a suspicious array of soldiers in the northern frontier? ”

"Do you suspect that it was Li Mao's plan?" Xiang Qing was stunned and said funny. "I don't know that guy, just his piece of material, will he know how to use it?"

Yan Kai shook his head and said, "My uncle once said that there is nothing impossible in the world. Li Mao didn't need to scheming before, it doesn't mean that he doesn't need scheming now! ――If you keep thinking this way, you are likely to take advantage of it! ”

Xiang Qing thought about it, and felt that Yan Kai's words also made some sense, and pondered, "Old Yan, do you mean to say that Li Mao is deliberately trying to make me wait for myself to mess up?" ”

"I'm afraid so!" Yan Kai nodded, and then he thought of Liang Qiuwu, who was silent beside him, and asked, "Miss, what do you think?" ”

I saw Liang Qiu Wu glance at the direction of the snow mound with a solemn gaze, and said in a deep voice, "I'd rather believe it than believe it!" -- Don't forget, the soldiers of the Northern Frontier have penetrated hundreds of miles into the grassland, and have encountered many dangerous environments, and the snow hills may be a natural danger for us, but for the soldiers of the Northern Frontier, it is just a snow-capped mountain that is relatively difficult to climb......"

Yan Kai and Xiang Qing glanced at each other when they heard this, and they realized that what they were facing was the battle-hardened Northern Xinjiang soldiers, the frontier heroes of the Great Zhou, and the first elite of the Great Zhou in the real sense!

Although the Jizhou soldiers are also experienced in a hundred battles, but compared to the northern Xinjiang soldiers who have to fight with the grassland tribes every day, I am afraid that they are still inferior, after all, the northern Xinjiang soldiers are really trained from the cruel war, the strong survive and the weak die in battle, and the grassland tribes are endlessly fighting each other.

"Leave 3,000 soldiers to stay in Boling, and send out the rest!"

After a deep groan, Liang Qiuwu said in a deep voice.

You must know that the Eastern Army is known as the first cavalry in the world, which is not in vain, any soldier in the army can act as a scout, know how to survive in a cruel environment, know how to hide his whereabouts, and find out the enemy's intelligence.

As Xie An said later, the 20,000 cavalry of the Eastern Army, once dispersed into the field, would be 20,000 scouts, and if the Northern Xinjiang soldiers wanted to quietly return to the rear of Boling from Xueqiu without Liangqiu Wu noticing, it would be absolutely impossible!

"Order!" Xiang Qing clenched his fists and hurriedly turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Xiang Qing leaving, Liang Qiuwu faintly had a bad premonition.

Facts have proved that Liangqiu Dance's premonition has come true, and Li Mao, the lord of the Northern Frontier, has no intention of deceiving, he really wants to open a passage on the snow hill in order to avoid the dangerous pass Boling guarded by Liangqiu Dance.

Knowing this, Liang Qiuwu's two beautiful eyebrows suddenly condensed, you must know that the reason why she was able to use 20,000 Eastern troops to block the more than 100,000 Northern Xinjiang soldiers of Yan King Li Mao was to rely on the steep pass of Boling.

If there is no such pass, even if Liangqiu Dance martial arts can be compared to Liangqiu Hao, it will be difficult to stop such a large number of Northern Xinjiang soldiers. Think about Liang Qiuhao and Array Lei, the two invincible heroes in the world, under the overwhelming number of soldiers, were not consumed to death by the Zhou army? Since the Zhou army consumed Liang Qiu Hao and the thunder, why couldn't the Northern Xinjiang soldiers consume Liang Qiu Wu?

[Bad...... Boling is going to be lost! ]

At that time, a thought suddenly flashed in Liang Qiuwu's heart.

In all fairness, if it were any other commander, even if it was Xie An, Li Xian, Changsun Xiangyu, and Liu Qing, when they saw that Boling was no longer enough to block more than 100,000 northern Xinjiang soldiers outside Anping State, that is, the land of Gyeonggi, most of them would probably think of withdrawing their troops and withdrawing to Jijing, so as not to be unable to get out of the situation when the situation was rotten.

But Liangqiu Dance was reluctant. The glory and dignity of the Liangqiu family prevented her from just giving up the still unharmed pass of Boling to Li Mao, the king of Yan.

Because of this, the Eastern Army and the Northern Xinjiang soldiers launched a tug-of-war that lasted for more than a month, and a large number of Eastern troops dismounted. Climb the snow-capped mountains to block the northern Xinjiang soldiers who are climbing the mountain.

But he didn't want to, this is exactly what Li Mao, the king of Yan, wanted to see......

"Your Highness is eloquent. That Yan Hu Ji Liangqiu Dance was really fooled! ”

In the Chinese army commander's tent in the Baili Company Camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Cao Da, one of the five tigers in Northern Xinjiang, looked at Antai's lord sitting on the throne with admiration, Li Mao, the king of Yan.

As soon as the words fell, the general You Dou, who was also one of the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang, sneered and said, "But that woman's courage is really admirable, with only 20,000 Eastern troops in her hands, she actually wants to block all my more than 100,000 troops outside Anping......"

In fact, she has done it. Isn't it? Li Mao, the king of Yan on the main seat, smiled slightly when he heard this, and said calmly.

Youdou was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, and said with emotion. "As Your Highness said...... Thirteen battles were lost, on the grassland, we have never met such a strong opponent! ”

"Hehehe!" Li Mao laughed when he heard this, and said with a little pride. "That's the senior sister of this king, the heroine who studied martial arts and studied the art of war under the Liangqiu Gongmen together, is it comparable to those thieves and thieves who only know how to kill, burn and loot on the grassland? Even this king doesn't dare to confront her head-on......"

Seeing that Li Mao actually said this, the people in the tent looked at each other. Smiled wryly.

Well, this hasn't been fought yet, and his own lord said these self-destructive words, how can he fight this?

Just when the generals in the tent were crying and laughing, they heard Yan King Li Mao chuckle lightly and said easily, "Since you know that you are not an opponent, you will run into it stupidly, this is not called heroic, but stupid!" - This king is not Xiao Wu's opponent, no, it should be said that no one in my northern Xinjiang is Xiao Wu's opponent, since this is the case, we will not attack Boling, and go straight to Jijing! ”

"That Yanhu Ji won't watch me wait for the attack on Jijing...... General Cao Da reminded in a low voice.

"This king thinks so too, so I can only wait for her to take the initiative to withdraw the troops!"

"Voluntarily withdrawing troops?" Everyone in the tent looked at each other, and they didn't understand the meaning, only generals like You Dou and Cao Da faintly showed a little sudden realization.

A few days later, Liang Qiu Wu sent someone to the Jijing Imperial Court about the local battle situation in Boling, asking the imperial court to take precautions, after all, her 20,000 soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army did not completely block all the snow hills in Boling, in case a northern Xinjiang soldier was missed, and this northern Xinjiang soldier took the opportunity to attack the unsuspecting Jijing, then Liangqiu Wu could not escape the blame.

The day after receiving Liang Qiuwu's letter, Li Shou, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, convened the courtiers to discuss the matter.

There are more than 100,000 soldiers in Northern Xinjiang, not to mention that according to the news sent back by the fine work sent to Northern Xinjiang earlier, Li Mao has surrendered to several grassland tribes in the past few years, making as many as 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of grassland people become vassals of Northern Xinjiang, which means that Li Mao's command can not only use the Northern Xinjiang soldiers, but also drive the nomadic cavalry of the grassland peoples outside the Saiwai. Nothing else, at least Li Mao's general Youdou is a member of the Blue Wolf Tribe, and the younger brother of Hutu Hachi, the grassland leader who once entered the Great Zhou.

[Wolf Cavalry ......]

But all the courtiers who know the battle of northern Hebei in detail know what the word "wolf cavalry" means.

Not literally, the wolf cavalry is a group of cavalry riding on the back of a steppe wolf, after all, the wolf is an animal that cannot be ridden as a mount at all.

Wolf cavalry refers to the warriors of the powerful steppe tribes who worship wolf gods and regard wolves as ancestors in several grasslands, such as the Blue Wolf Tribe, the Moon Wolf Tribe, and the Frost Wolf Tribe.

It is said that the men of the tribe all had wolf heads tattooed on their chests, and they were as fierce and ferocious as wolves when fighting, which was by no means comparable to ordinary armies. And Hutu Hachi, the grassland warrior who was killed by Liangqiu Dance back then, was the leader of the blue wolf tribe.

To put it bluntly, in the whole world, I am afraid that only the cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army has the strength to compete with the wolf cavalry. After all, it is said that the wolf cavalry is skilled in bows and horses, and it is even convenient to eat and sleep on horseback, and it is even convenient to not get off the horse for several months, and it is easy for them to travel a hundred miles a day, and this kind of mobility is the most terrifying place for the wolf cavalry.

This point, Ma Dan, the deputy marshal of the Jizhou Army who was born in Yanmen in the north, is probably the most clear. And it is precisely because he has been fighting with such an opponent that Ma Dan is extremely good at sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks, and he plays the Taiping army again and again.

Originally, there were nearly 80,000 Yuyang iron horsemen Li Mao, the king of Yan. If it is really as the rumors say, there are still a few wolf cavalry in his hands that once made Da Zhou suffer enough losses. What will be the result?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is necessary to send reinforcements to Boling immediately!"

One of Xie An's old friends, Xun Zheng, the squire of the Criminal Department and the secretary of the Weiwei Temple, came out to admonish.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the DPRK and China discussed a lot.

You must know that at present, there are only three elite divisions in Jijing, namely, the Western Army's "Relief", the Southern Army's "Trapping", and the Northern Army's "Beiwei", each numbering 20,000 people, and the Southern Army has not yet recovered from the blow that almost wiped out the army three years ago, although the training of recruits has not been interrupted in the past three years. But in the end, those recruits are inexperienced, and some have never even set foot on the battlefield, so they are real rookies.

If it really starts, say something unpleasant. Even if the Jizhou Army, which exterminated the Taiping Army two months later, drew 20,000 soldiers from the army, the Southern Army might not be able to beat it. The Southern Army, which once made the Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion fearful, is like the Lu family of the Nangong Mansion today, and has gradually been stripped of its former glory.

There's no denying it. As long as the generals of the Southern Army like Lin Zhen and Wei Yun are still there, the Southern Army will one day be able to recover its original heyday strength, but it will take time for elites like the four towns of Jijing. You can't train in just three years. Unless, like the Jizhou Army in the south of the Yangtze River or the Northern Xinjiang Army in the north, the weak will be eliminated through brutal wars and a strong army will be gradually cast.

To put it simply, the current southern army is okay to defend the city, and if they are to go to Boling to support the eastern army, a bad one will repeat the fiasco at Hangu Pass four years ago. After all, the southern army is a heavy infantry, compared to the eastern army of light cavalry, if the battle situation is not good, the eastern army can naturally retreat with the speed of war horses, but what about the southern army? The thick armor weighing two hundred and three pounds on the sergeants of the Southern Army was destined to wipe out the entire army if it was unable to turn the tide.

After excluding the Southern Army, Jijing's forces were left with only the Western Army to "relieve trouble" and the Northern Army to "carry back" to support the Eastern Army. But among them, the "back" of the Northern Army plays the role of the palace guard, guarding the safety of Li Shou, the son of heaven, and the harem, how can he leave lightly?

After some discussion, the Western Army "relieved its troubles" and became the reinforcements of the Eastern Army where Boling was located.

Of course, in fact, in addition to the four towns of Jijing, it does not mean that there are no other available troops, such as Weiwei Temple, the total number of guards in the city defense of Jiumen is nearly 10,000, but these soldiers have never participated in any war, in case of fighting, it is like the Taiping army in the eyes of Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li, which will be easily defeated by the northern Xinjiang soldiers.

After the early dynasty, the western army under the command of the Han family of the Xigong Mansion immediately became busy, and a large number of grain and grass were transported from Fuchengmen to the outside of the city.

"Boling asks for help, it seems that His Royal Highness King Yan has launched an offensive against Boling, so my father and son will have to do something about it......"

"What my father said is very true!"

In the Xigong Mansion, after some discussion with his father Han Gong, Han Yi prepared to launch a surprise attack on Jijing.

It turned out that the Han family of the Western Duke's Mansion had long been linked to Li Mao, the lord of the Northern Frontier, and the previous attachment to Li Cheng, the fifth son of the emperor, was just an expedient measure to divert the attention of the courtiers.

And now, seeing that Li Mao, the king of Yan, officially began to attack Boling after the beginning of spring, the father and son of the Han family immediately echoed and cooperated.

If in the past, when Liangqiu Dance was in Jijing, even if they gave the Han family father and son great courage, they would not dare to make a mistake, but now the top combat power of the Great Zhou Liangqiu Dance is far away in Boling, and the troops in the city are insufficient, once they rebel, the Jijing Imperial Court is not sure that they can defeat the Western Army, after all, the Western Army has always retained its strength, unlike the Southern Army, which almost lost as many as eighty percent of the elite in the army under Hangu Pass three years ago, and suddenly became the bottom of the four towns.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Xixiang Hou Han Yi sent someone to contact the general of the Northern Army, Beichi Hou Wenqin, before raising his troops, and sent people to persuade Wenqin to raise troops with him to rebel after nightfall.

After all, in Han Wei's view, Wen Qin is the confidant of the former crown prince Li Wei, and since Li Wei's death, he has always been lukewarm to Li Shou, who was appointed as the emperor, and should be regarded as a relatively easy target.

To Han Yi's surprise, when Wen Qin figured out the lobbyist's intentions. Without saying a word, he killed that person on the spot, and immediately sent someone to inform Weiwei Siqing Xunzheng of the matter.

Xun Zheng was shocked when he got the news, and he didn't care about asking Li Shou, the son of heaven. immediately recruited the guards of the Nine Gate City Defense Division under the name of his Weiwei Temple to arrest the father and son of the Han family.

Xixiang Hou Han Yi learned of this. In his heart, he scolded Wen Qin for not knowing how to raise his head, so he immediately raised troops to rebel and stormed the palace.

In his opinion, now that Li Mao, the king of Yan, has poured all his troops from the north to attack, if he can get rid of Li Shou before this, the court will be in great turmoil, and the dragons will be leaderless. How to stop the army of Li Mao, the king of Yan?

But unfortunately, Xixiang Hou Han Yi did not get what he wanted in the end, and Beichi Hou Wenqin, who obviously never gave color to Li Shou, actually led the northern army to defend the palace desperately. So much so that Xigong attacked for most of the hour, but found nothing.

At this time, Lu Gong, who was nursing at home, also led the Southern Army to help. He led about 16,700 western troops out of the city and went to Boling.

Then, just as Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, guessed, the Marquis of Xixiang, Han Li, blocked the retreat of Liangqiu Dance behind Boling to return to Jijing. Although Han Yi, who gave him great courage, did not dare to fight against Liangqiu Wu, he built a camp to block Liangqiu Wu like Xie An did before against the Taiping army in Hukou. He can still do it.

After Li Mao learned of this, he frowned slightly, he originally wanted to use the hand of the Western Army to force Liangqiu Dance to retreat to Jijing, but he didn't expect Xixiang Hou Han Yi to succeed and did not kill Li Shou.

But after thinking about it, Li Mao realized that this might be an excellent opportunity.

Ah, isn't it good to trap Liangqiu Dance in Boling? If Ji Jing didn't have Liangqiu Dance, how many days would he be able to stop him Yan King Li Mao?

Thinking of this, Li Mao changed his previous strategy and sent tens of thousands of northern Xinjiang soldiers to besiege Boling, and then ordered the rest of the army to climb the mountain.

After all, it is an army of nearly 100,000 people, and even if the snow hills in the Boling area are also precipitous, how can they stop the northern Xinjiang soldiers? You must know that when you once went out to the grassland, what dangers did the Northern Xinjiang soldiers never encounter?

As a result, more than 100,000 soldiers from the north bypassed the dangerous pass of Boling and marched towards Jijing. Although poor Liang Qiuwu was eager to return to Jijing, he was surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang soldiers and the Western Legion, and he was trapped and died in Boling.

Of course, the main reason is that in order to prevent the northern Xinjiang from infiltrating into the territory of Anping from the snow hills, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, and Luo Chao respectively led the cavalry of the Eastern Army to block near the snow hills, so that Boling Liangqiu Dance only had about 3,000 soldiers next to him, which was really not enough to break through.

It was found that Li Mao, the king of Yan, abandoned Boling, and led tens of thousands of soldiers from the north to attack Jijing, and the government and the opposition in Jijing were shaken, and many courtiers asked Li Shouzuo for suggestions to move the capital, and asked Li Shou to issue an imperial order to transfer back Xie An and Li Xian, who were pacifying the Taiping army in the south of the Yangtze River, after all, he still had nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was the best candidate to deal with the soldiers and horses in northern Xinjiang.

However, Li Shou rejected the courtiers' invitations, refused to send the emperor's order to recall Xie An, Li Xian, and Jizhou soldiers, and even ordered the ministers of the court and the central government not to disclose any changes to Jijing to Jiangnan from now on. After all, in Li Shou's view, Xie An and Li Xian were most likely at the critical moment of conquering the Taiping Army at this time, how could they order them to withdraw their troops halfway?

"At this time, if Xie Shangshu and the Prime Minister are brought back, not only will it be difficult to solve the fire from afar, but I am afraid it will also cause the two adults to be taken advantage of by the Taiping Army!" Yin Gong, who came out of the mountain again, stood firmly on Li Shou's side.

But having said that, Duke Yin still asked Li Shou to move the capital, after all, in terms of the current strength of Jijing, he really couldn't stop the northern Xinjiang soldiers under Li Mao.

After some hard persuasion, Li Shou finally agreed, and ordered the capital to be moved from Jijing to the ancient capital city of Chaoge, and asked the Chinese courtiers and the people in the city to move to Chaoge City one after another.

Even, in order to buy time for the migrating team, Li Shou, who has been known as the weakest emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty since he succeeded to the throne, actually put on armor and went into battle in person.

The ministers of the court and the central government were shocked when they heard this, and in their opinion, Li Shou was not like his father, the first emperor Li Ji, who was quite brave and martial when he was young, but just a weak scholar, how could he set foot on the battlefield and take risks?

Even Duke Yin shook his head again and again, but unfortunately although Li Shou was cowardly, he was quite stubborn, and immediately ordered the ministers to obey the emperor's orders.

In desperation, Duke Yin had no choice but to stay with a group of courtiers and go to Chaoge City, after all, the country cannot be without a person without a master for a day, no matter how hot the fight is in Jizhou, the government must not be wasted for a day, otherwise, the chaos is not only in the northern Xinjiang.

Compared with the Wenchen of the Yingong line, the generals of the Liangqiu Gong and Lu Gong lines are quite supportive of the decision of Li Shou, the son of heaven, after all, the two old men know in their hearts that if no one blocks the troops of the northern Xinjiang here, after Li Mao takes Jijing, the next target of the attack will undoubtedly be Chaoge City.

Escaping will not solve the problem!

Originally, the best candidate to block the Northern Xinjiang soldiers was undoubtedly Hou Liangqiu Dance in Dongzhen, but unfortunately this woman was trapped and died in Boling, and besides her, who else would be more suitable than Li Shou?

What a morale-boosting thing this is!

It is worth mentioning that even Beichi Hou Wenqin, who had not been pretentious to Li Shou before, was also a little impressed by Li Shou this time, and took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as a deputy general and guard Anping Kingdom with Li Shou.

In the middle of April of the fifth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the north changed, the country was in trouble, and the son of heaven Li Shou drove out to defend the country!
