Chapter 949 Zhang Xing attacked
Zhang Chao nodded, there is no news, there is no news, maybe this is good news, maybe Zhang Xing is brewing something. As for whether there is danger, he is still a little confident in this, with the elite three thousand Zhang family light cavalry, and the thousand Zhang family special forces led by Huang Xu are also members of the Dragon Battalion, even if someone wants to deal with them, it will not be possible to do it without paying more than ten times the price. And if someone really did this, it would be impossible for such a big war to go without any news at all.
There is only one result, that is, Zhang Xing must not have found a good place to start.
Zhang Xing's matter was just going through it in his mind, and Zhang Chao asked about Che Shiguo. "How long can you stay there in Jiaohe City?"
"Back to the emperor, the minister has been paying attention to that side, I heard that the battle is very fierce, but when it comes to the siege of the city, the minister doesn't know, only knows that it should be no big problem for the time being, after all, there is an army and food, and the people in the Western Regions are not aligned, but it is not so easy to capture."
This answer was also expected by Zhang Chao, he had already been prepared, and there were three legions available, although the Western Regions Alliance was attacking fiercely, it was not easy to break the city. After saying that, Sima Yi and Li Ru were also there, and he still had confidence in these two people.
"Okay, now that Jiaohe City is fine, then let's solve the problem in our eyes first, in this way, I plan to go deep into the interior of the Western Regions, you can watch and arrange it." Zhang Chao explained his intention.
As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao was shocked, "Your Majesty, you can't take risks alone." ”
Originally, in Ma Chao's opinion, even now that he has joined the emperor, of course, when it is time to re-establish his banner, he can also restore his identity as the leader of the dragoon army, and he will have a good kill.
To tell the truth, Ma Chao's personality is not very suitable for internal response, after all, his temperament is sometimes too impulsive, if it weren't for his cousin Ma Dai to assist and remind him, I'm afraid he would have been exposed a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, after meeting with the emperor, Fei Dan will not be able to recover his identity, and Zhang Chao will also have to go deep into the Western Regions, which is too dangerous.
In the entire Celestial Empire, anyone can take risks, but Zhang Chao can't, because he is the emperor, he is the spiritual pillar of the entire Celestial Empire, if something goes wrong with him, then what's the point of winning more battles?
"Who said that I am alone in the depths, isn't there still the Zhang family light cavalry? There are more than 26,000 people, and there will be no problem. Okay, I'm determined to make a decision, and there is no need to persuade in this matter. Now all you have to do is to continue to do the things in front of you in your current identity, just wait for the Qiang Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom to give them a heavy blow when they come back, and then you can play your own banner to rush to the aid of 0 Jiaohe City. Zhang Chao waved his hand, he knew what Ma Chao was worried about. Why would he want to take the risk? But now it seems that it is really meaningless for him to stay in Bailongdui, with the little force in his hands, even if he wants to relieve the siege of Hecheng, he can't do it, even if this is the case, it is better to be like Zhang Xing, learn a Sun monkey who got into the belly of the princess of the iron fan, and make a good fuss, maybe he can attract more troops.
Of course, Zhang Chao still has a faint feeling in his heart, that is, he is worried about Zhang Xing.
After such a long time, there is indeed no news from Zhang Xing, it is impossible for him not to be in a hurry. This time, he was a little wronged by the ability to send the second prince deep behind the enemy, and now he just went to take a look, which can be regarded as a matter of concern.
Zhang Chao is the emperor, he made up his mind, naturally no one can change it, although Ma Chao was worried, he still agreed. And on the night of the same day, Zhang Jiajun didn't bother to rest, just took some supplies from the black cavalry, and quietly went on the road, silently entering the hinterland of the Western Regions from Bailongdui. The countries of the Western Regions are completely ignorant of all this.
...... ......
Lan City.
The capital of the Otsuki clan is also the center of the hinterland of the Western Regions.
From here, the Otsuki clan is to the north, Bactria is to the south, the rest country is to the west, and the Bin country is to the east.
Because of the importance of geography, it has also become the most prosperous place in the Western Regions.
At the same time, it has also become Zhang Xing's goal this time.
According to the previous plan, Zhang Xing with 3,000 Zhangjia light cavalry and 1,000 dragon battalion members should deal with some small countries in the Western Regions first, and only need to cause panic and let them send troops back to help, so as to reduce the pressure on the front line.
But after entering the Western Regions, this idea also changed.
Day and night, Zhang Xing and his group have walked through many small countries in the Western Regions, as well as many small cities and towns, giving people the feeling that the population is too scattered.
Although there have been no major wars in the Western Regions over the years, which has given them time to recuperate, and the population density has become more and more dense, it is ultimately a barren land, and without enough fertile land, it is impossible to feed so many people. In desperation, the towns were scattered, and now that the war against the Celestial Empire is waging, many men have been recruited into the army in various countries, and adult men who remain in the people are even rarer.
The towns are scattered, and there are no men as enemies, Zhang Xing really can't afford to make up his mind to attack these places, and he doesn't think that choosing such a small town to start will make a big name. Thinking that he is the second prince of the Heavenly Dynasty, some things are just left to be done, even if he wants to do it, of course, he has to do his best.
Before anyone found out, Zhang Xing had an idea, that is, either he didn't do it, or he had to make a sensation. In this way, he found Huang Xu and Lu Yong and told his thoughts.
Zhang Xing is the identity of the second prince, and all the suggestions he put forward are attention-grabbing. Huang Xu and Lu Yong combined, they also wanted to make things bigger and make a career, and the three of them hit it off immediately and made the decision to do big things.
In this way, along the way, although it has been a long time to enter the Western Regions, it has never been moved, and no one has discovered them. And this time they finally came to the outskirts of Lan City, and it was not far from their attack.
The three fierce sons got together, and after some discussion, Huang Xu left with the members of the Dragon Camp first, and the target was the Blue Moon City Palace that was close in front of him.
Blue Moon City is the capital of the Great Moon Clan, which is naturally the concentration of imperial power, and the royal importance also lives here.
The emperor of the Dayue clan is named Mu Feng, and he is a heavyweight in the entire Western Regions, and the Dayue clan is not only one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions, but also the head of the powerful countries.
Over the years, the Otsuki clan has been in line with the principle of people-oriented, and under the efforts to develop, the population has increased a lot, and in the era of cold weapons, with people, many times it means that they have more power and ability.
With power and ability, the status of the Great Moon Clan is naturally rising, and it has faintly become the boss of the Western Regions Alliance.
And this time, Mu Feng, the lord of the Dayue clan who besieged the Cheshi Country and was one of the candidates for the boss, naturally would not be willing to be resigned, and personally went out to lead the troops outside Jiaohe City. Now in charge of guarding the palace is his eldest son Musie.
Musie is the kind of child who grew up with a golden key in his mouth, and since he began to remember, the Great Moon Clan has been very powerful, and now he is seventeen years old and is listed as the heir to the King of the Great Moon Clan.
Muxi, who has been smooth sailing since he was a child and doesn't know what to worry about, inherited the affairs of the Otsuki clan after his father left. And with the assistance of several old ministers, everything is also taken care of in an orderly manner.
Speaking of which, he didn't do anything, just did what his father usually arranged. There is a division of labor for whoever does everything, as long as he doesn't dictate extraordinarily, then the thing will be done.
I do something step by step every day, and I still have a sense of novelty at first, but after a long time, I lose interest. After all, he was still a little young, and he decided to leave the palace and wander around the city.
In the past, Musse liked to go out of the palace to play, and at that time he didn't have anything to do, and he didn't have the head of the heir to the throne. In addition, the Otsuki clan was very powerful, and the surrounding neighbors did not come to find trouble, so he never felt threatened.
On this day, he finished dealing with state affairs, to put it bluntly, he listened to the reports of several old ministers on state affairs, walked through a scene one by one, and when he retired from the court, he directly changed his clothes and went out of the palace under the protection of four guards. It's just that what he didn't know was that he had no chance to come back, and his life came to an end because of this.
It's been more than a month, and I can walk around the palace again, Mu Xi feels that the air he breathes is fresh, and his eyes are shining when he goes out, and he is full of energy, "I want to have a good time, go to the casino, go to the wine shop, go to the singing and dancing venues, in short, I have to play until dawn before I go back." ”
It seems that he has set a goal for himself, and Musie first goes to the casino, which is also one of the places he is very willing to go, gambling, maybe it is the nature of many men.
And just as Mu Xi left the palace, someone behind him began to follow them, for the soldiers of the Dragon Battalion, the tracking technology of the Zhang family special forces is very powerful, after Zhang Chao poured some modern war concepts into their minds, at least in the environment at the time, this routine is unmatched.
Not to mention that Muxi's vigilance is not high, he never thought that someone would treat him in his royal city, and even if he was on guard, it would be difficult to find the tail behind him.
The stalker saw that Mousse had entered the casino with four guards, and then turned and left quickly. Soon after, Huang Xu, the commander of the Dragon Battalion, who entered the city first, learned the news. "Okay, great, God help me, that's it, act according to plan."
