Chapter 315: Heading North
This may be the last time the three of them will have dinner in the capital in the next few years, and it may not be that Xing Tianze deliberately asked people to close the door of the Five Princes' Mansion and not allow anyone to come up and disturb them.
In addition, Xing Tianze also specially instructed the chefs of the palace to clean all the food, so that all the people in the entire Five Princes' Mansion came to eat a hot pot.
Because the prince was very happy in his heart, he specially allowed Zhu'er to sit down and eat with them, without having to pour food and wine for anyone.
This may be the most heavenly reward for Zhu'er, and being able to eat at the same table with the master is one of the greatest expectations in the hearts of the people.
It may not be that Tao Mingxi deliberately showed a terrifying appetite that had never been known to anyone, and the way he gobbled up his meal made Xing Tianze and the other three stunned.
The pleasant time of the day passed quickly, and early the next morning, Tao Mingxi had already packed up and prepared, and took Zhu'er to the carriage prepared for her by Xing Tianze.
As the commander of the army, Xing Tianze, after bidding farewell to the emperor on the school field of the palace, rode a white war horse and set off, and the army of more than 400,000 people slowly walked towards the outside of the capital and embarked on the journey north.
The distance of thousands of miles made Xing Tianze not try, on the contrary, he has always walked at the very beginning of the three armies, as if he has become the tip of the sword of the three armies of Xing Zhaoguo.
Tao Mingxi quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and she saw a different scenery along the way, because Xing Tianze had greeted her in advance, so she asked Zhu'er to prepare a lot of dried fruits and snacks that were delicious and easy to carry.
More than ten days passed in a flash, Xing Tianze did not have a landless garrison in the north, and directly led 200,000 troops to Black Dragon City, and the other 100,000 were stationed in Huangsha City, and the people who led the army were the henchmen of the five princes in the army.
The two sides have become a rival to each other, and if there is any abnormality, they can take care of each other.
As for the princess, she was arranged by Xing Tianze in the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion in Black Dragon City, looking at the familiar furnishings, Tao Mingxi couldn't help but let out a few wry smiles, she had only lived here for a few months, and she didn't expect that this time she would be forced to come back helplessly.
In fact, even if Xing Tianze didn't say it, Tao Mingxi could guess why she had to join the army, because Yin Pingzhen and Situ Feng, who stayed in the capital, were not enough to take care of all aspects in terms of prestige and talent.
Although the emperor has begun to become mediocre, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and as a king for so many years, he is definitely not something that Yin Pingzhen and Situ Feng, these two fledgling young people can deal with.
Their biggest reliance is nothing more than the power of the Yin family and the Situ family, Xing Tianze is quite helpless in this step, and it can even be said to be an unbearable delaying tactic.
Tao Mingxi didn't know until this moment what is the truth that the king lets the minister die, and the minister has to die, as a king, he really has power that many people don't expect, and he can turn the clouds and rain between the hands......
"My lord, all the soldiers and horses of our army have been stationed in the city, and the last general has issued the order that no one should touch a stitch or thread of the people, not to infringe on the stable life of the people, and not to enter their homes without the consent of the other party." A general stood in the marshal's mansion and reported respectfully.
"Lord Wang, the last general has sent five thousand soldiers to patrol the city, and if anyone is found to have disobeyed your orders, he will definitely be beheaded!" Another soldier reported respectfully.
Xing Tianze nodded slightly, and after giving Wuxian a look, the latter immediately took out a map from the side and spread it on the ground of the Shuai Mansion.
Xing Tianze slowly stood up from the handsome chair, came to the map and spoke slowly: "Generals, please see, the reason why this king will divide his troops into two ways, one is that the 100,000 army in Huangsha City can resist the 300,000 army in Black Rock City in Qingcang Kingdom, and the other is that this king has decided to directly send troops to attack Nanshui. ”
As soon as the words of the prince landed, the generals hurriedly began to discuss, a large part of them expressed support for Xing Tianze's absoluteness, and the other small part held the meaning of opposition.
"Lord Wang, our army has just arrived in Black Dragon City, I am not familiar with the place, not to mention, the long journey of thousands of miles, all the horses and horses are tired, and the emperor has not given an order to attack, if you rush to send troops, you will be worried about ......"
"Are you questioning the king's orders?" Xing Tianze directly interrupted the general's words.
"The general is not subject to the king's orders, Nanshui is the military town of Qingcang Kingdom in the south of them, if they can capture him in all directions, it will undoubtedly block the main route of food, grass and ordnance for the garrison of Black Rock City." Xing Tianze's tone was extremely cold: "If you write again, the king of this is desperate, no one is allowed to hold an opposing opinion, you immediately go down to rectify the soldiers and horses of each battalion, and after three hours, you must send the south water to the king." ”
After seeing Xing Tianze's tough attitude, a group of generals naturally didn't dare to say anything, so they had to shake their hands and agree one by one, and quickly left the Shuai's Mansion to make various preparations.
Soon only Xing Tianze and Wuxian were left in the Shuaifu, and the two were still standing in front of the map, and on the way to the north, they had already formulated a very detailed set of combat policies.
If nothing else, Nangong Yuan would only be forced to withdraw his troops from the Fuyang Kingdom, and they would also achieve very large results, and if it was a little smoother, these cities in the south of the Qingcang Kingdom would all fall.
But the two of them frowned tightly, they were looking at places that were not visible to others in the dark.
They marched with such fanfare, and the general Cheng Qihong who was stationed in the Black Rock City of the Qingcang Kingdom sent troops to the rescue, although Huangsha City was able to send troops and horses to stop it.
However, there are definitely not many soldiers and horses that can be sent, because it is necessary to prevent Cheng Qihong from taking the opportunity to capture Huangsha City, so according to Wuji's estimation, the time they can capture Nanshui is definitely less than four hours.
However, now that the arrow has to be issued, Xing Tianze's military order has been issued to all battalions in the army, and a few hours have passed quickly.
Xing Tianze personally led an army of 150,000 to capture Nanshui, and Wuxian also took 50,000 soldiers and the original 30,000 defenders in Black Dragon City to defend it.
Nanshui had a total of 80,000 defenders of the Qingcang Kingdom, until late at night, a soldier standing guard above the city suddenly fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, making a muffled snort.
Before the surrounding soldiers had time to make a warning, they were shot to the ground by the rain of swords that flew down one after another, and a sea of fire suddenly lit up under Nanshui City, Xing Tianze rode a white horse at the forefront of the three armies, and after waving his right hand gently, the 150,000 army rushed towards Nanshui City frantically.
Two hours later, Cheng Qihong, who was stationed in Black Rock City, was woken up from his sleep, and when he learned the news that Nanshui City was lost, he was so anxious that he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and choked back a few steps back and sat back on the bed.
