Chapter 444: Preparing for War (2nd Watch)

Almost at the same time that Yan Echo got the Flying Eagle Transmission, Zhou Che, who was on the way to the northern Hebei army, was also found by the Flying Eagle.

The flying eagle circled twice from the clouds, swooped down, and landed straight in front of Zhou Che's horse.

When a small soldier saw this, he immediately shouted, "General, be careful." ”

Zhou Che didn't notice the danger, but he still pulled out the saber on his waist as a precautionary gesture.

The eagle seemed to sense danger coming from him, and took a few steps back, tilting its head to look at him, as if to discern if this man was the person it was looking for.

Flying eagles are trained to deliver letters, naturally to train the sensitive sense of smell, hearing, vision, etc., to transmit messages thousands of miles, but also to draw topographic map markers, so that it can be seen repeatedly to remember, to accurately deliver the target to the hands of people, the most important point is to have the person's belongings, so that he can track and identify them with smell.

In short, among the tens of thousands of flying eagles, there are very few who can be spiritual, understand human nature, and have been trained.

Someone with sharp eyes immediately said: "General, it seems to have something tied to its legs that seems to be ...... Letter? ”

Zhou Che withdrew his saber, turned over and dismounted, and stretched out his hand to the flying eagle.

The flying eagle sniffed his breath and seemed to confirm that this person was the person it was looking for, and took two steps forward with a grunt, allowing Zhou Che to pick it up.

A soldier approached curiously, "Huh? Is this eagle really a letter eagle? ”

"Can you still use an eagle to send a message? It's godly. ”

Someone asked: "General, is this looking for you?" ”

Zhou Che didn't know either, so he untied the letter on the flying eagle's leg, opened it and saw that it was Zhou Gu's handwriting, and he immediately smiled, "It's my fourth brother." ”

"Huh? Was this eagle originally raised by the fourth son? Someone was amazed, "I can find you accurately." ”

"It's not him, he doesn't raise eagles." Zhou Che was also puzzled, as he spoke, he looked down, gradually, his relaxed expression became solemn, and when he saw the end, he was suddenly shocked and anxious, and immediately said: "Turn around and go to Nanping." ”

The adjutant general's personal soldiers were stunned for a moment.

Someone asked, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"Northern Hebei Xingxu will move troops to attack Nanping, Zhang Ping wants to rebel, we have to rush to the rescue." Zhou Che accepted the letterhead, immediately took out the note from his arms, brushed it with a charcoal brush, and replied that it would come quickly, so he tied the letterhead to the flying eagle.

He tied up the letterhead, and in order to reward the eagle who had worked so hard to find him to deliver the letter, he immediately commanded: "Bring meat to it." ”

One of the soldiers immediately went to the food camp and brought a large piece of meat.

The eagle looked at it with satisfaction, took the meat in its mouth slowly, and then rushed straight up with the letter, flying into the clouds.

Zhou Che immediately took 100,000 soldiers and horses to Nanping.

Nanping Marquis's Mansion, after Ning Chi dealt with the important affairs of the Eighteen Villages, he returned to the mansion and discussed with his father Nanping Marquis to deploy troops to Nanping City.

Nanping Hou was a little frightened and said to him: "No, right? Now is not a good time, Zhang Ping is against now? ”

"For Zhang Ping, maybe now is a good time." Ning Chi had a different opinion, "The Nangong family found the Pingxi General's Mansion to cooperate, poured half of the family's wealth, and served the Pingxi General's Mansion and asked him to cooperate in killing Miss Su Qi." Half of the Nangong family's wealth is not a small amount, enough for Zhang Ping to raise troops. ”

Nanping Hou gasped, "But in our city, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Let's set up defenses first, just in case, Miss Su Qi has already sent a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and transferred troops." Ning Chi also hoped that Zhou Gu had misjudged, but he felt that this hope was slim, and Zhou Gu would not make a mistake easily, just as he concluded that Zhang Mao was in the Eighteen Villages.

Nan Pinghou nodded, "Then hurry up!" ”

Ning Chi got the cooperation of Nanping Hou and quickly rearranged his troops.

Before the preparations were completed, he received a message from Zhou Gu, saying that a large number of soldiers and horses in northern Hebei were marching and rushing to Nanping, and there should be no less than 200,000, so he should quickly prepare for the battle.

Ning Chi's whole face changed, although he had been prepared, but no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which was more than six times the strength of the current Nanping Marquis Mansion, how could Nanping live?

Fortunately, Zhou Gu said in the letter that he had received a reply from Zhou Che and was rushing to Nanping with 100,000 soldiers and horses, as long as he held on for a few days.

Ning Chi showed Zhou Gu's letter to the Marquis of Nanping, and the Marquis of Nanping's face also changed, "I have always known that the General Pingxi Mansion privately raises soldiers and horses, but I didn't expect that the amount is so huge, he can send 200,000 troops to attack Nanping at a time, so at least there are 200,000 soldiers and horses left in northern Hebei." ”

Originally, the Pingxi General's Mansion in northern Hebei Province, the laws of the An'an Imperial Court, raised 100,000 soldiers and horses, but now, it is four times more than that, I don't know how Your Majesty would feel if he knew that Zhang Ping had reversed.

After all, Zhang Ping's appetite, as well as Zhang Ping's private raising of soldiers and horses, were fattened by His Majesty.

The father and son had already made preparations, but as soon as this number of soldiers and horses came, the pressure increased in vain, and Ning Chi asked Jiang Zhu to invite Jiang Zhu to the study, and showed Zhou Gu's letter to Jiang Zhu.

After reading the letter, Jiang Zhu's face changed, and he said to himself, "If I tell Zhou Gu, I regret it now, and I still want to go back to the Eighteen Villages, I don't know if he will agree?" ”

There are no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 30,000 Nanping troops in this city, aren't they looking for death? If it's a hard attack, you won't be able to withstand it for a day, let alone a few days.

Ning Chi looked at him, and he couldn't laugh at this time, so he could only say to him: "You have already gotten on the thief ship, and you can't get down." Brother Jiang, it's better to hurry up and think with me, so that your brothers, who want to join the prince, take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions quickly! ”

Jiang Chai was about to cry, "You told me that 30,000 soldiers and horses are no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, how can you make meritorious service?" ”

"There are thousands of brothers in your eighteen villages, and they are all good at fighting for both." Ning Chi patted him on the shoulder heavily, "This kind of opportunity, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, think about your brothers who don't want to leave Daliang and follow you to Nanchu, now that the imperial court is recruiting, there are no meritorious achievements, what kind of idle errands are given?" If you make meritorious service in this battle and follow to defend Nanping City, at that time, what kind of official position will you be rewarded for meritorious deeds? If some people seize the opportunity, they can't say that they will reach the sky in one step. And Brother Jiang, you yourself, if you want to take refuge in Miss Su Qi, you have to show your skills, just looking around and recommending is not enough to make Miss Su Qi pay attention to you, you have to impress him, at that time, she will go to Nanchu and claim the throne, so that you can be valued by her and show your prosperity. ”

Jiang Chai sighed, "Brother Ning, you really should travel around the world to be a lobbyist, Nanping is a place that yields your talent." ”

Ning Chi coughed, "How about Brother Jiang, hurry up and call on the brothers to defend the city with me, right?" ”

Jiang Zhu was helpless, "That's all it takes." ”

As he said, they are all on this boat, and they can't get off.

"Oh, and my brother." Ning Chi suddenly remembered Ning Ze, and immediately ordered the person, "Go and call the second son." ”

He is now Su Rong's person, and at such a critical juncture, he can't be allowed to stay behind and make the best use of others.

Commuter pass, what's it?
