After the arrangements were made, they all returned to the camp and rested early, and the next day, before four watches, the army was assembled and went out of the city according to the established plan. Helan Xue's side is the most important part, Yang Jiulin is really relieved, he told him again and again, Helan Xue lowered his voice and told him to be careful of the people in the city, everyone didn't let him attack the city, isn't it just to make it more reassuring to defend the city. If you go to fight by yourself, you can't withdraw the troops at most, but if that traitor is these people in the city, then it's time to make some demon moths now.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, as soon as the city gate opened, there were fast horses galloping in, and the people on the horses were dusty, with a tired face, and the official clothes on their bodies were also full of dust, and a shout broke the early winter morning:

"Urgent, 800 miles urgent, great victory in northern Xinjiang ̄"

At that time, it had passed the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the court and China had a holiday, and a few days were the Spring Festival, and the snowflakes that were not falling in the capital also added a bit of festive flavor to the New Year.

Emperor Huiwen sat on the dragon chair in the middle of the main hall, and in his hand was the urgent report from the northern Xinjiang just sent by the Ministry of War, Yang Jiulin led the troops to recover Yuguan, Wu Chao died in battle, nearly 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, Zhang Xin, Yan Wushu and others killed many enemy generals, Helan Xue drew the catapult drawings supervised by Zuo Jinfeng, received miraculous results, killed Heshu and others by surprise, defeated Heshu in the melee, and killed Heshu's deputy general Chadan. There is also an important point, Helan Xue slaughtered the city......

Emperor Huiwen slapped the table heavily and said, "Okay! is a good Yang Jiulin, a good Helan Xue. In addition to the urgent report, the messenger also sent Yang Jiulin a secret fold sealed by fire paint, Emperor Huiwen asked people to pass this battle report to Lin Yi and others for a look, and he opened the secret fold again, looked at it, and the expression on his face became solemn, in addition to telling the matter of this seizure, he also added: When Helan Xue led the troops to attack the city, there was a cold arrow shot by the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty behind her, if it wasn't for the sergeant next to her who found it in time and desperately blocked this arrow, Helan Xue was afraid that she had been shot from behind, and the spies in the army had reached such a point, And this situation is only for Helan Xue alone, not long after He Lanxue entered the army, where will there be enemies who will take revenge? It can only be speculated that it is either a spy of Beidi or a black hand in the DPRK.

He didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was already very clear, someone had a black hand against Helan Xue, and the court and Helan Xue had some ties, it was nothing more than Lian Kang, Pei Wen, and Li Huixi, these three of them had suffered losses and lost face under Helan Xue, but who of the three of them would have the heart and the ability to arrange someone to assassinate Helan Xue in the Northern Xinjiang camp? Lian Kang? Unlikely! The grudge between him and Helan Xue arose because of the official cause, isn't it, is it Pei Wen or Li Huixi? These two people are both members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, as for such a small belly? Who could that be? What is the purpose of this? Emperor Huiwen's brows were furrowed.

Several ministers have finished circulating the war report, and they can't help but praise secretly, I can't imagine that Helan Xue really has some ability, Yang Xiaohou has several battle report excerpts, this girl has a share, this time even Heshu was defeated under her, it seems that she really underestimated her that day, and the catapult, what does she think? Yang Qingshan's face was even more proud, the bandits that his grandson took back were more useful than these generals in the court! A little girl can make such a great achievement, and looking at the army, there are few people who can compare with her.

But this little girl actually has an iron-blooded side, after recapturing Yuguan, she will kill all the Beidi people in the city who can't escape, and she will actually slaughter the city!

Lin Yi glanced at him and chuckled: "Old Marquis, Jiulin is really a great achievement in ambushing this Wolong Mountain!" ”

Yang Qingshan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "On that day, all the big people recruited An, or the emperor Shengming, and sure enough, they recruited a usable talent for the imperial court. ”

Chen Yemin couldn't help but sigh: "This is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, we are all old, and now even a female doll is so brave and good at fighting, those sons and daughters of our family are really comparable." ”

Du Guozhong pointed to the battle report and said: "Didn't the catapult drawn by Helan Xue be handed over to Xuan Shizi to supervise the construction a few days ago?" I don't know how many cars have been built now, and what is the effect? ”

Emperor Huiwen had already gathered the doubts in his heart, and nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, after Zhao'an came back that day, Peng'er submitted the drawings, and after the Ministry of Engineering made the model, it was being made in large quantities. Someone comes, Xuan Shizi goes to the palace, I want to ask in person. ”

The eunuch around him responded, sent someone to pass the decree, this time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Li Naiying has already played the situation of the test with Wei Peng and others that day, said that although the car is a little bulky, but after several modifications by everyone, not only is it much smarter, but the range of throwing stones is also larger, it is really a rare siege weapon, plus the craftsmen are rushing to build the bead crossbow day and night, and it should receive miraculous results when it is put into northern Xinjiang.

It didn't take much effort, Wei Peng went to the palace, after seeing the battle report, his heart couldn't help but twitch, attacking the city and plundering the land, this girl is really fighting, it seems that she still underestimates her, and she is actually very capable. Emperor Huiwen asked, "Peng'er, may the catapult be put into the northern frontier?" ”

Wei Peng bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, I have seen the power with Lord Li Shangshu before, it is indeed a sharp weapon for attacking the city, and now it has been built more than 20 times, and there should be no problem in investing in northern Xinjiang." He paused and said: "Right now, the New Year is coming soon, Your Majesty, do you mean to send it to Northern Xinjiang now or ......?"

Emperor Huiwen mused, the frontier war has been a truce for a few days during the New Year, if you set off now, it will take nearly a month to go to northern Xinjiang, if you encounter wind and snow, it will be longer, I don't know if you can catch up with their big battle, but two more days is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is obviously not appropriate to send troops to northern Xinjiang at this time. Du Guozhong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, now that the New Year is coming soon, the grain and grass materials for the previous reward for the three armies have already set off, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up, and I will send troops to the north at this time...... According to the minister's view, it is better to set off after the year, day and night, the battlefield in northern Xinjiang is quite dead and wounded, and these days are just the right time to dispatch troops and horses to go to northern Xinjiang together. ”

Raise troops to the north again!

Chen Yemin said: "Your Majesty, the previous war report said that Beidi Wuturshu has brought troops to reinforce, we really can't underestimate it, they are afraid that they have the intention to win this time, the five passes of Northern Xinjiang are the gates of our country, if there is a mistake, the consequences are unimaginable, and the old minister agrees to increase the troops!" ”。

Emperor Huiwen's fingers lightly tapped the table, who will command the troops this time? His gaze swept over the faces of Du Guozhong, Lin Yi, Yang Qingshan and others, these old people were summoned into the palace by the 800-mile emergency report, and it was naturally Yang Qingshan who could lead the troops, but he was so old that he couldn't be sent out again during the New Year.
