Two hundred and eighty-four, a pool of muddy water
Qin Zhongzhi saw the panic of his own children in his eyes, and he also knew very well that the current situation was no longer something that the two dozen of them could change.
Qin Zhongzhi crouched on the hillside, his mind spinning rapidly.
Although Beiliang had just finished fighting with Western Qin and his troops had weakened, it would definitely not reach the point where he was completely powerless to fight back.
Judging by the Xia army's march, they should have just arrived here. And the reason why the Beiliang army has no resistance, is it possible that Beiliang himself doesn't know that the Xia army has already sent troops?
This place is so close to Western Qin, if the lord of Western Qin helps cover it up, maybe Xia Jun can really sneak into Beiliang without knowing it.
The military power of Beiliang was all in the hands of the king of Beiliang, Fuqu Mengxun. If the King of Beiliang failed to get the military information of the Xia army in time for some reason, then the entire Beiliang army would be in a state of leaderlessness.
However, these were just Qin Zhongzhi's guesses after all, and he couldn't be sure what was going on at all.
But Qin Zhongzhi knows a truth, if the water is already muddy, it is not easy to drain it into clear water, but it is much simpler to stir it up.
Only when the situation is completely chaotic can the girl find her life.
Qin Zhongzhi immediately took out his seal letter, handed it to a child of the Qin family who was usually smart, and ordered the other two to join him.
"You go to see Cui Hao with a certain seal. If you can't see Cui Hao, go to see Kou Tianshi. Tell them that Great Xia secretly sent troops to Beiliang. ”
The three young men didn't understand, and looked at Qin Zhongzhi blankly.
Qin Zhongzhi explained, "The Northern Wei Dynasty just calmed down Rouran last year, and now it is eyeing the northern countries. They began to collect grain this spring, apparently to prepare for war. And the goal that Emperor Wei wants to clean up most now is to occupy the Central Plains and hinder the unification of Great Xia in the north of Great Wei. ”
Qin Zhongzhi glanced at the Xia army under the hillside again, "Although I don't know why the Xia army suddenly sent troops, and it was not noticed by other countries, I am sure that as long as the Northern Wei Dynasty knows this news, it will definitely not miss this great opportunity to control Xia." ”
The three children of the Qin family understood that if the Northern Wei sent troops to attack the Xia Dynasty, then these Xia troops who came to conquer Beiliang would have to retreat, otherwise Beiliang would not be defeated, and their hometown would be lost first.
The three of them hugged their fists at Qin Zhongzhi and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely prompt the Northern Wei Dynasty to send troops to attack Xia!" ”
Qin Zhongzhi nodded, "Siege Wei to save Zhao." The three of you will win or lose this move. Proceed with caution! ”
The three of them put away Qin Zhongzhi's seal letter, turned around and turned to the east without stopping.
At this time, Zhu Rong also followed, and even said with a "woo" that the Western Qin pursuers were about to arrive.
Qin Zhongzhi observed the surrounding terrain and chose a hidden mountain road, "Let's go, we also have to hurry up and join Xianji." ”
-- The Dividing Line --
Tan Invite Yu was hiding in a tree at this time, looking down happily, and a group of masked people were looking for her and Zimo like headless flies.
Zimo didn't know where he went. She was just so focused on killing the enemy that she didn't even pay attention.
As soon as the king of Beiliang and the others left, Tan Zhaoyu had no scruples, and went directly into the pile of enemies to kill.
Invite Yu relied on his light skills, and his steps were as fast as a ghost, and every time he finished killing a wave, he turned around and ran.
When she ran to a hidden corner, like a leopard waiting for an opportunity to catch its prey, she held her breath, stared at the movement of the thief, and then jumped out coldly, and it was another meal of chopping melons and vegetables.
At first, she and Zimo were still together, but the goal of the two of them was too big, and the effect of separate ambushes was not as good.
The enemy originally planned to capture Tan Yingyu alive, but at this time, he felt that he was already very reluctant to live. Originally, Tan invited the rain to be in the light, and they were in the dark, but now they are completely reversed. I can't figure out who ambushed whom.
"Where are the Zoroastrians hiding?" Invite Yu said to himself, "You can't let everyone else rush to the front as cannon fodder, right?" ”
Tan Yuyu only wanted to arrest a few Zoroastrian people for interrogation now, and he was not interested in people from other forces at all. But she turned around the enemy several times, and she didn't see a single person with internal strength.
If you don't know how to do internal strength, even if you are a member of Zoroastrianism, you will definitely not have a high status, and you can't ask anything if you catch it.
Ut's workshop is a good place to keep an eye on. The Zoroastrians will definitely go there to meet Ute, after all, it is the residence of the mountain keepers, and there is no telling how many secrets are hidden.
It's a pity that this place is some distance from Jiuquan, otherwise Ying Yu really wanted to run over and wait.
After looking at the people under the tree for a while, they didn't have a clue, and then they got together again. They didn't seem to be planning to continue dealing with Tan Zhaoyu anymore. Instead, he chased in the direction of the King of Beiliang.
Seeing this, Invite Yu frowned, these people didn't even plan to catch themselves with the jade seal, obviously their primary target was the King of Beiliang.
So they are so enthusiastic and mobilized, just to drag the king of Beiliang?
Invite Yu was speculating about the enemy's intentions, and Zimo came to Invite Yu from a tree not far away.
Zimo said, "There are no more of them around. I heard one of them propose to set fire to the mountain, trying to burn us and the Horseshoe Temple, and then the other person vetoed it. They seem to be afraid that the situation at the Horseshoe Temple will attract the attention of other places. ”
Invite Yu also feels this way, "With the topography here, the beacon smoke can only be seen in Zhangye and Jiuquan at most. But if the entire Horseshoe Temple is on fire, the common people will know that something happened here, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to cover up the news of the attack on King Beiliang. ”
Invite Yu was a little worried, "Let's catch up quickly." Although these people are not yet able to match the 2,000 forbidden army, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have a backhand. There is only Mo Yao on the junior brother's side, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist. ”
Zimo nodded, turned around and went back to the temple, took out the horse left by the King of Beiliang, and chased forward.
Although Tan Yuyu didn't guess that the Zoroastrian gang was besieging them in order to cover the Xia Dynasty's troops. But she guessed that the enemy's target was the King of Beiliang. So he desperately tried to catch up with the front team.
It's a pity that she was still a step too late.
The 2,000 Praetorian Army suffered nearly half of the casualties in half a day.
When Fuqu Mengxun broke through, only a small number of people were left to continue searching for Tan Zhaoyu, while more people were chasing the team of King Beiliang all the way to intercept and kill.
The enemy divided his troops into several routes, harassing them in turns, and there were many tricks.
These people are either from the Jianghu sect or are rangers raised by the clan. The way they fought was different from that of their counterparts. This made the forbidden army not know how to deal with it for a while.
In order to rush to the palace as soon as possible, he would rather sacrifice a part of the forbidden army than stay for a moment.
But the thieves apparently guessed this, and they gathered the frustrated team little by little, like an organized group of hungry wolves driving away a flock of sheep.
