"Zhong Aiqing, there is a book to play and no book to quit class." Above the main hall of the Daning Palace, Liu Gou, the Emperor of Daning, yawned and said lazily to His Royal Highness.

"The minister has a matter to start Your Majesty, the remnants of the Eagle Army have occupied the three counties of Yingzhou for half a year, and the bandit leader Ye Ying also sneaked into Baishui County at the beginning of this month and killed the imperial court officials, this matter has caused public resentment, and the minister is willing to ask the imperial court to send a large army to Yingzhou to eradicate the bandits." At this time, a civil official suddenly came out of the ranks, knelt down in the hall and said loudly.

"This bandit has defeated my two encirclement armies one after another, and now there is a general trend, and it is indeed time to annihilate it. Lord Wei, you are responsible for arranging and sending troops out as soon as possible. Hearing the words of this civil official, Liu Gou frowned, and said to an official in the court.

The Lord Wei ordered by Liu Gou was Wei Donghe, the secretary of the Daning Military Department, who won the trust of Emperor Liu Gou, and many military affairs in the court and China, Liu Gou handed over to him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is already making arrangements for this matter, and it just so happens that the commanders of the three major armies will come to Jinling in the near future, and the minister will immediately discuss with them how to send troops." Hearing Liu Gou's words, a tall official immediately walked out, bowed down and said, he is Wei Donghe, the secretary of the military department.

And Ye Ying in Heishan County didn't know that his name was actually mentioned on the Daning Golden Palace, and at this time he was still racking his brains about the livelihood problems of the three counties he occupied.

"Old Nie, last time your Wild Lion Army planted such a big heel there, didn't you personally lead someone to find face this time?" In the hall of the Daning Military Department, a white-bearded old man said to a burly man sitting opposite him.

And the identity of this white-bearded old man is not ordinary, he is the commander of the War Tiger Army, one of the three major iron armies of the army, and the old general Chen Boda, who has the title of Tiger Marshal.

And the burly man opposite him, although he is not too old, he is actually over the age of six, he is Nie Zida, the commander of the Mad Lion Army with the title of Lion Shuai.

"I won't go this time, so I'll leave the opportunity to contribute to the country to the two of you!" Listening to Chen Boda's words, Nie Zida waved his hand and said.

"You don't know this, Old Chen, right? Ye Fei was Nie Shuai's sworn brother back then, although time has passed now, how could Nie Shuai be willing to attack his brother's son? As soon as Nie Zida's words fell, a dark-skinned middle-aged man sitting on the side said that he was the other commander of the three major armies in Daning, Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, who had the title of Dragon Shuai.

This Liu Zhiyuan is the youngest of the three commanders, but his identity is the most special, he is the cousin of the Daning Emperor Liu Gou, the son of the imperial family with the roots of Miaohong, and the most relied on general of the Daning court.

"Hehe, Long Shuai laughed, I did worship Jin Lan with Ye Fei back then, but after a while, Nie will not delay national affairs because of personal emotions, and now I just don't want to have a reputation for bullying the small." After listening to Liu Zhiyuan's words, Nie Zida didn't bother with him, but just said lightly.

"Today, I invite the three of you to come and see if any of you can personally lead the troops to exterminate this bandit that is gradually growing." Wei Donghe, the secretary of the military department who was sitting at the top, coughed lightly and said.

After listening to Wei Donghe's words, these three marshals all fell into silence, and if they could achieve such an official position, they would definitely not be impetuous, and they needed to make a decision after careful consideration.

"The lion and the tiger are a little older, I'm the youngest, let me go on this errand. I personally brought 100,000 Flying Dragon Army to invite Nie Shuai's nephew back to Jinling. After a long time, Long Shuai Liu Zhiyuan raised his head and said.

"Haha, Long Shuai, you are too careful, just a bandit, and you need to dispatch your 100,000 flying dragon army." Listening to Liu Zhiyuan's words, Chen Boda said with a smile.

"Falcon fighting rabbits also requires all their strength, I, Liu Zhiyuan, have always been timid, bring more people to be more stable, but let the tiger handsome you smile." Listening to Chen Boda's words, Liu Ziyuan frowned, but in an instant, he stretched out again and replied with a smile.

"In this way, it will be hard to be handsome, and Wei will immediately write to His Majesty." Liu Zhiyuan agreed to lead the troops to the battle, and Wei Donghe was also relieved, he said with a smile.

Three days later, the imperial court's will was officially issued, with Liu Ziyuan's headquarters of 100,000 troops, personally went to Yingzhou to exterminate the bandits, in order to ensure the victory of the battle, the imperial court also gave Liu Zhiyuan the right to temporarily recruit nearby troops, which was rare before.

When Ye Ying received the news of the flying pigeon and knew the news that the imperial court had sent troops again, he also immediately took action, and more than 20,000 people and horses under the command of the Fierce Eagle Army began to practice intensively, preparing for the upcoming battle.

For everyone in the Fierce Eagle Army, this battle is indeed a difficult test, the strength of the Flying Dragon Army led by Liu Zhiyuan is no less than that of the Wild Lion Army, and Liu Zhiyuan is experienced and is a person who is very good at fighting.

"Border Emergency, Border Emergency!" Outside Jinling City, a fast horse galloped towards Jinling City, seeing the horse galloping, all pedestrians avoided it. If you are hit this time, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die.

The fast horse quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, but the news delivered by the messenger made the passers-by talk a lot. Such an urgent report has not been reported in Daning for more than 20 years, and it seems that Daning, which has been calm for more than 20 years, is about to start fighting again.

Which country's enemy is this invasion going on? Beiman, Dongwai, Nanyue, or the newly rising Simon, everyone has made speculations that the Daning people are not warlike, but the neighbors around him are all good deeds, if it weren't for the fact that Daning's national strength is stronger than them, these evil neighbors would have already started.

"What? Northern Xinjiang was in an emergency, and the 150,000 Northern Barbarian army entered Ningtaiguan, and the Yingzhou battalion urgently asked for help. Hearing Kuaima's report, Liu Gou was shocked.

"These hateful Northern Barbarians, like me, you hunt every day, watch singing and dancing, drink and write poems with your concubines, play music and have fun, don't you have to come out to fight." Liu Gou thought indignantly that he just wanted to be an emperor of peace, and he was most disgusted by this kind of fighting, killing and killing.

"Zhong Aiqing, you guys should think of a way, the Northern Barbarians have come in again." Liu Gou didn't know what to do, so he had to ask His Highness's ministers.

The combat power of the Northern Barbarians is much stronger than that of Daning soldiers, otherwise, they would not have been beaten to the capital Dongliang back then, captured two emperors, and caused Daning to move the capital to Jinling.

All the ministers present were still worried about what happened to the capital more than 20 years ago, and when they heard that the Northern Barbarians had invaded again, they had no idea for a while, and everyone stood in place and didn't dare to say a word.

"You usually talk about the truth, why don't you have any ideas now? If you can't think of a solution today, you don't have to go here. Seeing the appearance of the ministers, Liu Gou was even more furious, and slapped the dragon case in front of him with a crackling sound.

"Your Majesty, the 100,000 Flying Dragon Army led by Long Shuai should be about to reach the boundary of Yingzhou, right? It's better to send a fast horse to send the will, let Long Shuai suspend the suppression of bandits, and lead troops to stop the northern barbarian soldiers and horses! Seeing that the emperor was angry, the ministers did not dare to be silent anymore, so someone said cautiously.

"Lord Wang is right, the Second Army of War Tiger and Wild Lion currently has to defend against the Southeast Dongyu, Nanyue and other countries, and only the Flying Dragon Army is the closest to the Northern Barbarians, so let them take on the task of sniping the Northern Barbarians." Seeing that someone had spoken, other ministers also seconded it.

In a panic, Liu Gou didn't have any ideas, so he could only quickly give an order, and tomorrow the commander of the Flying Dragon Army led Liu Zhiyuan to lead his troops and horses north to snipe the invading Northern Barbarians.

And Ye Ying and the others, who were far away in Yingzhou, didn't know that they had evaded the soldiers again, if he waited for the news, he didn't know whether to be glad that the Northern Barbarians had helped him solve his urgent need, or to hate the Northern Barbarian Jackal for invading the Central Plains again.

The new king of the Northern Barbarians, Heihan Mugu, has been sitting on the throne for more than half a year, and after the third prince who had been dormant for many years ascended the throne, he quickly showed his fangs, and used thunder means to quickly get rid of all the forces that opposed him, and completely controlled the power of the court and government in his own hands.

After consolidating his power, Heihan Mugu set his sights on neighboring Daning, where he had long coveted its abundance.

In order to defeat the enemy with one move, Heihan Mugu chose to drive the expedition in person, and personally led 150,000 elite soldiers and horses from the Northern Barbarians to leave Ningtai Pass and embark on a journey to invade Daning.

The generals of Daning were obviously unprepared for the sudden invasion of the Beiban, and after the battle, they were defeated and retreated, and even some of the generals who defended the city chose to go out of the city and surrender, and it only took more than ten days for the Beiban to occupy five cities in Daning.

When the dragon marshal Liu Zhiyuan led the Flying Dragon Army into Yingzhou, he found that only two counties in Yingzhou at this time were still in Daning's hands.

There are a total of ten counties in Yingzhou Prefecture, and in addition to the three counties occupied by Ye Ying, five counties have now fallen into the hands of the Northern Barbarians, but fortunately, the Northern Barbarians have not yet pointed their troops at the three counties controlled by the Fierce Eagle Army, so that the Fierce Eagle Spirit does not need to be involved in the war for the time being.

Due to the strong combat power of the Northern Barbarians, Long Shuai Liu Zhiyuan did not dare to be careless, and he did not take the initiative to send troops after arriving in Yingzhou, but quickly established a defensive line. In addition, he also transferred another 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Flying Dragon Army, plus the defeated army taken over in Yingzhou, and now he has more than 200,000 horses under his control.

Although the Yingshui River in Yingzhou Mansion is not a particularly large river, it is also a natural barrier, so Liu Zhiyuan arranged the army on the bank of the Yingshui River, and the Northern Barbarian army on the opposite side is only separated by a big river, trying to rely on the characteristics of the Northern Barbarians who are not good at water warfare, and stop them on the north bank of the Yingshui River.

In the early days of the war, Liu Zhiyuan's strategy did have some effect, and the Flying Dragon Army relied on the natural danger of the Yingshui River to defeat the Northern Barbarian army that tried to cross the river many times, and also caused the Northern Barbarians to lose a lot of soldiers and horses.

The frustration of the army made Heihan Mugu very angry, and his goal was to surpass his father Heihan Xiongge and occupy the entire territory of Daning, but he was stopped by a small Yingshui River, which made him really unwilling.

The Northern Barbarians were warlike, and the Northern Barbarian King Heihan Mugu even went into battle in person, leading his soldiers to launch many fierce attacks on the south bank of the Yingshui River. However, Long Shuai Liu Zhiyuan still had a set of defensive battles, he carefully arranged the defense line on the south bank of the Yingshui River, not only had the soldiers guarding the river to block the enemy head-on, but also set up hundreds of building cars by the river, the soldiers of the Feilong Army could condescend and give a fatal blow to the northern barbarians who tried to cross the river.

The fierce character of the Northern Barbarians led to their fearlessness on the battlefield, and even the corpses and blood of their comrades stimulated their bloodiness, and they launched a frantic attack on the river bank almost at any cost.

In this battle, although the casualties of the Northern Barbarians were far greater than the defending Flying Dragon Army, many Daning soldiers were still frightened by the beastly attacks of the Northern Barbarians, and there was even a fear of war in the army.

Seeing the soldiers in such a mood, Liu Zhiyuan was also very anxious, he used many pacification methods, and even personally killed some defeated soldiers in Yingzhou who tried to be deserters, so that the morale of the army improved slightly.

However, the next thing made the Daning soldiers breathe a long sigh of relief, because the northern barbarians suddenly stopped crossing the river, and even made the army retreat several miles.

But what all the Daning soldiers didn't know was that the reason why the Northern Barbarians retreated was not because they gave up the operation of crossing the river, but because they were planning a bigger operation, and a huge crisis was slowly approaching.
