Chapter 204: Xiliang Two Years Later
At the end of the second year after the Heavenly Hermit entered the desert, Xiliangcheng received news from Shangjing that Guan Shanyue and his new army had marched towards Xiliangcheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For this news, Xiliangcheng's absolute boredom and others are not much surprised, after all, what should come is always coming, and more importantly, Shangjing has delayed Guan Shanyue for two years, which has benefited Xiliangcheng a lot.
The news of going to the capital was conveyed by Chaifeng, one of the six guards of the great prince Zhu Zhen, who came to convey it in person, and also told everyone why Marshal Zhang of the Beifu Army could not stop Guan Shanyue.
At first, Zhang Yuesong led the Beifu army to skillfully drag Guan Shanyue's new army to live in Yanjing City, neither attacking head-on, nor should he fight, every time Guan Shanyue's new army set off, Zhang Yuesong led the Beifu army to surprise Guan Shanyue by surprise.
Even if Guan Shanyue knew that once he set off for Xiliang, there would be an army to disrupt him, and he would also set a trap for this, but he didn't expect the opponent's surprise attack methods, which kept coming out one after another, making the ambush trap he set completely ineffective, and once his own ambush personnel were all killed, so Guan Shanyue simply didn't leave, put down a position, searched everywhere for the whereabouts of this mysterious army, and on the other hand, put pressure on King Wen of Yanjing City.
After all, there was a rebellion under the jurisdiction of King Wen to attack the imperial army, and King Wen could not get out of it.
However, King Wen is also an old fox, so he simply said that he was sick and couldn't handle official affairs, as for King Wen's subordinates, they naturally wore the same pants as King Wen, and they all claimed that King Wen had to be in charge of all the affairs of Yanjing City, and he couldn't be the master, so all the people in Yanjing City remained silent and stood still.
As a result, it dragged on for almost two years.
The queen mother of the capital, Wang Chuyi, also had some eyebrows about the attack on Guan Shanyue, but it was difficult to say it clearly, but secretly sent an envoy to the capital to hint to the eldest prince Zhu Zhen and order him to withdraw his troops, but the eldest prince Zhu Zhen didn't know anything, and even the envoy obviously hinted that the eldest prince Zhu Zhen pretended to be confused.
In the end, the Empress Dowager sent a pivotal figure to Yanjing City to support Guan Shanyue, known as the "Prison Army".
Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Li Tianshan.
Li Tianshan only brought a thousand royal cavalry and ten eunuchs.
Don't underestimate these ten eunuchs, these are all trained by Xu Wu, and they are also masters of the second class.
Guan Shanyue did not have a very friendly attitude towards Li Tianshan, the prison army, just like treating a stranger, she was not cold or too enthusiastic.
didn't care too much about this Li Tianshan, anyway, Guan Shanyue was such a person.
But the will brought by Li Tianshan made Guan Shanyue dumb and eat coptis.
Move the army now.
This is the edict of the Queen Mother, Guan Shanyue knew that the Queen Mother said nothing, so she had no choice but to pack up and set off for Xiliang City.
It is also strange to say that after Li Tianshan came, the march was smooth and unimpeded, and the mysterious army disappeared.
It's not that Zhang Yuesong disappeared, but that Zhang Yuesong was occupied by Li Tianshan at every step of the arrangement, just like Zhang Yuesong laid an ambush at a certain location after calculating the route of Guan Shanyue's march, but when the army went to the predetermined ambush location, it was either found to be destroyed, or it was filled, or a fire was lit.
For the first time, Zhang Yuesong thought it was a coincidence, but if such things happened one after another, if it wasn't for the enemy's meticulous work in his army, then the other party expected how he would arrange it, and reminded himself one step earlier, which would not work.
Since he can guess his own arrangement, then this person must know who he is, so Zhang Yuesong retreated and returned to Shangjing City, and explained everything to the eldest prince Zhu Zhenyu.
Chasing the wind told absolutely boring and others everything, and then asked: "I don't know, can Lord Tianhermit return?" ā
In the past two years, Shangjing City has constantly sent people to inquire about this matter, after all, it is related to the dragon robe, and the eldest prince Zhu Zhen, Ning Fei and others are still very nervous.
"Nope." Absolutely boring and bland to say, he doesn't know how many times he has said these two words in the past two years.
Chasing the wind and leaving the mouth, he was absolutely bored and said to Li Gu beside him: "Mr. Li, I will go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." ā
Now, after two years of rest, Xiliangcheng is already a soldier with enough food.
However, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has 180,000 troops, the garrison army of Xiliang City is 60,000, the guard army of Xiliang City is 80,000, and the guards of Piaoxue and Qingtian have been expanded to 10,000, which is still the most elite army in Xiliang City, and finally there are 3,000 players in the surprise attack team led by the Sword King who never returns to the sky.
By the time the absolute boredom arrives at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, everyone will already be gathered.
The five lords of the capital, the left army governor Huben, the right army governor Yangcheng Gongzi, the former army governor of the troubled times, the rear army governor of Jiuzhongxian, and the Xiliang patrol imperial sword.
Absolutely boring and no nonsense, seeing that everyone was his own brother, he went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Li has already sent someone to convey the news to you, is it all clear?" ā
Everyone nodded, looking absolutely bored.
"Then, there is only one thing I want to say, Xiliang City is our last line of defense, the Xiliang border is our first line of defense, and the rest of the things are in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, I will now go to find your brother, Hanamichi, and Yijian them." After saying that, I was absolutely bored and left alone.
As for Li Gu, he stayed, after all, Li Gu still has a position, that is, Xiliang military quartermaster, and the weapons, clothes, grain and grass used in the army are all distributed by Li Gu himself, and now military supplies are naturally indispensable to war.
"It's not wrong to say that it's boring, Xiliang City is our last line of defense, so before the enemy arrives here, we must do our best to consume their troops, once their forces are weakened, they will not be able to attack the city at that time, and at this time, it is time for the Xiliang horse thieves to act, in case of alien cavalry." Tiger Ben looked at everyone and said.
Everyone has no opinion on what Tiger Ben said.
Then, the five masters said: "The border of Xiliang is too extensive, and I guess that Guan Shanyue is most likely to choose these three roads when entering Xiliang." "Then mark out the three points on a large topographic map, and after marking them, the five lords looked at Hu Ben, Yang Cheng Gongzi, Troubled Heroes, and Wine Immortals.
Hu Ben nodded: "Coming from Yanjing City, these three locations are indeed the best shortcut to enter Xiliang City, but we also have to be fully prepared in case Guan Shanyue enters Xiliang from other places." ā
"Then, it's time to mobilize all the Xiliang horse thieves." Yang Cheng Gongzi said with a smile.
"That's right, in a position beyond our reach, the Xiliang horse thieves have played a role, as for the alien cavalry, it is still a headache, since these years, after encountering our continuous blows, the alien cavalry have become smart and careful, so that we can't find out where their camp is, so on the premise of letting the Xiliang horse thieves investigate, we have to contain the alien cavalry." Tiger Ben continued.
"Then assign these three points, the left side is in charge of the drunkard's rear army, the upper left peak is in charge of the front army of Xiaoxiong, and the last flat terrain is in charge of the cavalry of your right army of Yangcheng Gongzi, and the tiger Ben side assists me in arranging the second line of defense." Now that they have spoken their opinions, the five masters have also begun to assign tasks to everyone.
While the five lords and others were discussing, Xu Yongchang, the governor of the five armies, hurriedly walked in from the outside with a hurried face: "My subordinates have seen all the governors, generals, and lords. ā
Seeing that the person who came was Xu Yongchang, the five masters smiled: "Yongchang, is there something wrong?" Although Xu Yongchang did not have outstanding performance, he has helped the five masters a lot in the past two years, and the most important thing is that Xu Yongchang is hard-working and willing to work hard to learn.
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, there is news from the Xiliang horse thieves that the alien cavalry has behaved abnormally, and it has not been seen for a long time that more than 100,000 alien cavalry have poured into the territory at once."
Since the alien cavalry was attacked by Xiliang City and Xiliang horse thieves, the large army withdrew from the territory of Xiliang and wandered outside Xiliang, but today a large number of cavalry poured in, probably to open the way for Guan Shanyue.
The fifth lord nodded and said: "You came just in time, we just estimated that the alien cavalry would make some changes, and now you convey the order of the Governor's Mansion to the Xiliang horse thieves, so that all the Xiliang horse thieves will be dispatched to contain the alien cavalry, and they will also be asked to patrol the border, the most important thing is whether there is an army entering Xiliang from the border, once there is any trouble, you must report immediately, and you must not act without authorization." ā
"My subordinates will go and pass on the orders of the Governor now." Although Xu Yongchang has not been promoted in the past two years, his reputation in the Chinese army is increasing day by day, and Xu Yongchang is responsible for the intelligence of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and even Xu Yongchang is responsible for conveying orders.
"Wait." Just as Xu Yongchang was about to leave, Hu Ben stopped him and said, "There is one more thing, pass it on to the four mining areas, and ask them to close the mine and return to the city." ā
"Subordinates receive orders." Xu Yongchang knew that the Metropolitan Governor of the Five Armies was the largest, but the other Metropolitan Governors would not have any opinions on anything, so Xu Yongchang would not show any doubts, but completed these things efficiently.
After leaving the strategic conference hall, Xu Yongchang went straight to his public house, and as soon as he entered the public room, he was busy with a roll of information recording all kinds of news to distribute back and forth, and convey, just like the classification of express delivery, the province and the district were thrown together, and then sent uniformly.
After Xu Yongchang walked in, he said loudly: "Quickly draft the text for me." ā
The Governor's Office of the Five Armies: When the Xiliang horse thieves received the order, they should immediately send troops to contain the alien cavalry to prevent the alien cavalry from invading, and in addition, spies must be sent to monitor the movement of the border, and report immediately if there is any disturbance.
"Your Excellency, the order has been prepared." As soon as Xu Yongchang finished speaking, the following documents had been quickly written and handed to Xu Yongchang.
Xu Yongchang picked it up and looked at it, put it on his desk, took out a key to open the stone box embedded in his own stone table, took out a large seal and covered it at the place where it was registered.
There are eight big characters engraved on it, "Xiliang Five Military Governor's Mansion Seal".
This is the big seal of the documents conveyed by the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, whether it is intelligence, orders, or notices, all of them are changed from this seal, and as long as the document with this seal is stamped, any soldier and horse belonging to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces can also be transferred.
After Xu Yongchang finished covering it, he said, "Draw me another copy." ā
The Governor's Office of the Five Armies ordered: The major mining areas will be closed from now on, and the whole army will return to Xiliang.
This time, four clerks quickly wrote four orders, and after Xu Yongchang covered them, he immediately conveyed these four orders to the generals in the mining areas.
And he took the order of the Xiliang horse thief and went to pass the order in person.
Xu Yongchang rode a fast horse and rushed towards the city gate, and the guards guarding the city gate were all vigilant when they heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, besieging a human wall, and the spears in their hands stretched out.
One of the captains shouted at Xu Yongchang: "Get off the horse and show the token." ā
Xiliang City strictly ordered that no horses should be galloped in the city, and violators will be severely punished, of course, if there is an emergency, you can say otherwise, so show the token to show your identity.
Once you accidentally stop the five masters, do you want to deal with them with absolute boredom? Of course it can't be, so the token is the pass, but the five masters will not be so boring to ride around the city, after all, they must be a good example to show the soldiers and people below.
Xu Yongchang grabbed the horse, but did not dismount, but took out the token and said to the city guard: "I am the governor of the five armies, and I must go out of the city for the existing urgent matter, and get out of the way quickly." ā
The captain of the city guards recognized Xu Yongchang at a glance, and he didn't need to look at the token at all, so he said to his subordinates: "It's okay, let's disperse." ā
"Where is Yongchang going?"
Just as Xu Yongchang was about to drive his horse out of the city, a voice came from the side.
Xu Yongchang looked sideways and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor asked me to pass the order." ā
"I really don't understand what you and Zhao Qing are thinking, one runs to be the shopkeeper, you run to be a messenger, and don't ...... a good general position" The person who spoke was the brother of Xu Yongchang and Zhao Qing.
"At that time, we also vowed to be generals, but now I am a brother, and you are just a small seven-grade official who has to run errands every day, and Zhao Qing is even more useless and unemployed, hey, why don't I talk to the Lord General, transfer the two of you to my side, so that you can take care of it."
Xu Yongchang shook his head and smiled: "Brother, your kindness, Zhao Qing and I are both clear, but everyone has their own ambitions, Zhao Qing is very satisfied with his current work, and I am the same, or if our brothers can be generals, only you are the only one." ā
"That's ......," Fang Du was very helpful when he heard this.
"Don't say it, the order is urgent, I must convey it immediately." After speaking, Xu Yongchang drove away.
Fang Du shouted after him, "Be careful." But not only did he sigh in his heart: You are not the material to be a general, and you still said it so well back then.
Now Fang Du is already a dignified thousand generals, with 8,000 soldiers under his command, how many soldiers did the deputy general lead back then? It's just so much, or less, that thinking about it makes Fang Du even more proud and happy.
