Chapter 474: Warmth (Miss Cat's Birthday Update)
The emergency military situation from Xining Dao was much more serious than Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers could imagine!
Xiyan has gathered an army of 300,000 and has pressed towards the border of Xining Road in Dayong: and it is Sima Hao, the emperor of Xiyan, who leads the army of Xiyan!
Sima Hao's personal expedition is still an army of 300,000, which means that Sima Hao is determined to win Xining Dao and Dayong!
With an army of 300,000, such a force is overwhelming, Xiningwei only has 120,000 soldiers and horses, plus the Anxi Protectorate, at most only 170,000 soldiers and horses. How did Daeyoung confront Xiyan?
Since Sima Hao came to power, he has experienced large and small wars, but he has never heard of defeat. Now that he is driving the expedition in person, the soldiers of Xiyan must be as imposing as a rainbow. Now, the great eternal danger is in danger!
There is no need for the courtiers to elaborate, Emperor Jingxing also knows the difference in strength and the criticality of the situation.
It was only for a moment that he felt that a needle prick had grown under the throne, and he couldn't sit down.
How can a person like you be worthy of being the king of a country?
Empress Dowager Jiang's previous words rang in his ears like rolling thunder, and Emperor Jingxing only felt a headache.
"Zheng Diheng! Immediately mobilize troops to fight against the invasion of Western Yan! Emperor Jingxing said such a useless sentence. As soon as he didn't make an order, Zheng Diheng was also thinking about the transfer of troops.
Lingnan Road is the closest to Xining Road, and the top priority is to transfer troops from Lingnan Road to Xining Road to support.
Jiang Bowen rebelled with 120,000 soldiers and horses in Longyou Road, and now Xiyan invaded with 300,000 soldiers and horses. The whole of Daeyong has been mired in military war.
In the towering and magnificent Xuanzheng Palace, the courtiers all bowed their heads, and everyone felt that there was a dark and heavy cloud pressing overhead.
After the early dynasty, Zheng Diheng sent an order to Lingnan Wei to transfer troops as quickly as possible. At this time, he didn't know that Yuan Huan had already taken the Hanoi Dao soldiers and marched towards Xining Road.
All of this has to start with the secret letter that the Shen family received from Shen Yuyi.
As I said before, Shen Yuyi knew that there was an abnormality in the Xiyan army and sent a secret letter to Shen Huashan, so Shen Huashan sent someone to inform Xu Shenxing.
But within two days, Shen Yuyi's second secret letter came again, and the wording was urgent: "Xiyan will invade, prepare early!" It was these eight words that made Shen Huashan summon Ye Zhengchun, Yu Zhengkai, Ying Nantu and others overnight to discuss what to do.
This secret letter went to Shen Zejing first, and then came to Lingnan Road. Shen Zejing saw the fire, quickly turned to Lingnan Road, and explained his own judgment of the situation with a letter: "Transfer Lingnan Wei and reinforce Xining Wei!" ”
Shen Zejing, as a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, of course knew that it was basically impossible to mobilize a guard soldier. If Jiang Bowen hadn't gone beyond the Turkic invasion, if he hadn't rebelled, he wouldn't have been able to use a guard of soldiers at will.
But Shen Zejing still said this, which shows that he thinks that the situation in Xining Road has reached a point where there is no time to delay, and the soldiers of Lingnan Wei can't wait for Jingzhao's order, and must go to Xining Road immediately.
"Jing'er said so, what do you think?" Shen Huashan asked everyone present.
The nephew trusted his brother's judgment. The uncle persuaded Yuan Huan to send troops, and the nephew took 3,000 soldiers and immediately rushed to Xining Road. Shen Zesi immediately replied. As a military general, his grasp and judgment of military affairs are far faster than ordinary people.
When the news of Jiang Bowen's rebellion came, Shen Zesi was very calm, and he didn't think about taking the government soldiers back to Longyou Dao, he knew very well that now he and the government soldiers had no possibility of winning against Jiang Bowen's 120,000 horses.
In the battle of Taoyang, the soldiers of Anbei Prefecture were able to win more with less, but it was only when the time, place, and people were all taken up that they were able to succeed. With such a victory, Shen Zesi will never be lucky to have a second time.
So what he wants to do is to develop and expand his forces as much as possible, in order to have the strength to fight Jiang Bowen.
The son-in-law also agreed with the father-in-law and uncle's decision. Immediately transfer troops to Xining Road to prevent the invasion of Xiyan! ”
Ying Nantu immediately agreed with Shen Zesi's words. In fact, not only did he think so, but even Shen Ning thought so.
After knowing Shen Yuyi's letter, Shen Ning said to Ying Nantu: "Xiyan will definitely rebel!" Sima Hao is very ambitious, and he will definitely act beyond the timing of Jiang Bowen's rebellion and the flooding of Hanoi Road! Shen Ning's heart was beating violently, worried about the upcoming situation. She made this judgment because of her understanding of Sima Hao. Sima Hao, who can be the same killer as his sister, how could he not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
What's more, with the experience of the previous life and Shen Yuyi's secret letter, she thinks that Sima Hao must have already started to act.
Therefore, in front of everyone in the Shen family, Ying Nantu had this to say.
"There is a broken army in the West. The main army of the broken army, the invasion of Xiyan, will definitely happen. The grandson divides a hexagram, which is a shock hexagram, and also refers to the chaos of war, and the hexagram is like a big murderer. ”
Shen Yule added on the side. He didn't understand military, combat and other things, but he knew celestial phenomena and divination, and the conclusions he came to were the same as those of Shen Zesi and Ying Nantu.
"That being the case, without further ado. We are fully prepared for Xiyan. Zesi, you immediately take the soldiers of Nanlingzhong, bring the bows, crossbows, spears and other weapons of the Ordnance Division, and set off for Xining Road! "The three of us old guys are going to have a good talk with Yuan Huan." Shen Huashan said. The three old guys, of course, refer to himself, Ye Zhengchun and Yu Zhengkai. I just don't know if Yuan Huan will buy their account?
Because of Shen Yuyi's secret letter, the courtyard by the Qujiang River, as well as the Weapons Division in the deep mountains of Nanling, were all running quickly.
Shen Zesi took 3,000 soldiers, as well as Ying Nantu, Shen Yule and others, and prepared to set off for Xining Road. Fortunately, because of the Ordnance Division, a trade route has already been opened between Xining Road and Lingnan Road, and they can save a lot of time when they go to Xining Road.
In the past, it took ten days to get from Guangzhou to Queensland, but now it only takes three or four days to arrive.
Ying Nantu is strong in martial arts, and he is very familiar with the situation in Xiyan and Xining Dao, so it is a matter of course to follow Shen Zesi.
Shen quietly packed up for him, and finally realized the mood of those ordinary ladies when they sent their husbands on the expedition.
After knowing Ying Nantu's plan to follow Shen Zesi, although Shen Ning had endless worries in her heart, she didn't stop it, she knew that this was Ying Nantu's choice.
Ying Nantu has always been interested in mountains and rivers, if she hadn't foreseen her, Ying Nantu would have chosen to live in seclusion in the mountains? Or is it already dead? Shen Ning would occasionally ask himself such a question, but he would soon laugh at himself for being so boring.
No matter what Ying Nantu was in the past or what his previous life was, he was already with him in this life. He has been involved in the Shen family's forces and is inseparable from the Shen family.
"I'll be back safe. I still want to watch Deng'er grow up, and I want to go swimming with you in the mountains and rivers. ”
Ying Nantu hugged Shen Ning from behind, smelled the faint smell of milk on her body, and almost murmured.
If you have a choice? Who would want to go to the battlefield, who would want to go to a place where they don't know life and death?
Who doesn't want to stay at home with a warm wife and children? But in the year of peace, it is necessary to fight and fight. Otherwise, all that he longed for would not come.
"Well, Deng'er and I will wait for you to come back safely" Shen Ning's voice was low, and before he knew it, tears had flowed.
Ying Nantu must go to Xining Road, this is his choice, just as he wants to protect the family as a weak girl, it is also her choice.
He is so similar to her.
"Retreat, retreat" Shen Ning only called Ying Nantu's words softly, and almost murmured: then she turned around and hugged Ying Nantu, absorbing the breath on his body.
The clothes are half-faded, and the room is beautiful......
While Shen Yule was busy packing up his clothes, Shen Hushi changed his usual straightforwardness and chattered.
"You say you, you can't do literature, you can't do martial arts, you can't deify all day long, you can't do anything!
What battlefield did you go on? You haven't married yet, in case there's a good one."
What Shen Hu said was nothing more than persuading Shen Yule not to go to Xining Road. She admitted that she did not have the same high consciousness as Shen Yu's, her husband was already in Xining Dao, why did her eldest son go to Xining Dao? Why is that?
"Mother, I'll be fine. Don't worry, my uncles will take care of me. My grandfather must have asked me to go for a reason! ”
Shen Yule sighed, looking at Shen Hu's tears, he didn't know what to say.
He knows very well the heart of a loving mother and her children. But he's not bad at anything, he can't do martial arts, but he can also look at the stars and fortune, right?
Mother said this, how could he be embarrassed?
"Then you marry my daughter-in-law first, give birth to a grandchild, and then go ......"
Shen Hu finally compromised and said such a sentence. Doesn't she know that after marrying a wife and having children, these two things are done, and the yellow cabbage is going to be cold? Is there still a war in Xining Road?
Shen Zesi also kowtowed to Shen Huashan a few times in the room and said goodbye to Shen Huashan. This is to go to the battlefield, to fight against the Xiyan people, life and death are uncertain, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable. You have to knock your head to your loved ones a few times.
Shen Zesi's kowtows were very heavy and loud. Shen Zesi's biological father was Shen Deshan, but it was Shen Huashan's uncle who supported him to join the army, influenced him deeply, and made him set up his ambition to protect the frontier and defend the imperial court.
"I've told you again and again that surviving on the battlefield is the real skill. Only being alive is the most important thing. You must survive and kill Jiang Bowen with your own hands. ”
Shen Huashan said this, and what he repeatedly told was to let Shen Zesi save his life. Without his life, even if Shen Zesi made a great contribution, in Shen Huashan's opinion, it would be useless.
Before leaving for Xining Road, the couple, mother and son, uncle and nephew all said goodbye in the courtyard of Qujiang. In the future of war, there will also be a strong sense of warmth.
Just as they were about to set off, there was good news from the deep mountains of Nanling! God, I still care for the Shen family!
