Chapter Fifty-Eight: Solicitation of Papers

Just when Mu Yi was immersed in Xidejia's son-in-law, two fast horses galloped past at the gate of Jicheng.

However, the soldiers guarding the gate of the city had no intention of stopping or interrogating, because the knights on these two fast horses were Hongling's envoys.

The guards at the gates saw the long red feathers on either side of their heads.

When Hongling rushed into Jicheng with a puff of smoke and dust, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately waited solemnly.

Because they knew that a large number of soldiers from the various feudal towns and feudal kings stationed with them would then go to the border to defend them.

As soon as Hongling entered Jicheng, he began to shout.

"Idlers retreat, the military intelligence is urgent!"

With the shouting of the two Hongling envoys, the street, which was still very lively, immediately became quiet.

In an instant, all the people standing in the street immediately retreated to both sides of the street, and the middle of the street was vacated by Hongling.

In the Dayu Dynasty, there was a rule that whoever encounters a Hongling envoy must retreat, and if the Hongling envoy cannot deliver the military information on time due to the lack of urgency, he must be punished according to the crime of treason.

In this case, whether you are the queen of the official eunuch, or the rich family, or even the prince and grandson, you are treated equally, once you block the way of Hongling's urgent envoy, even if you are not killed, you will be cut off by the government.

Therefore, Hongling hurriedly made the horses under him not slow down even if they entered the city, and soon they rushed to the official palace of Jicheng.

The two Hongling envoys were exhausted from galloping on their horses for a long time, and they were helped off their horses by the people of the government.

And after hearing the shouts of Hongling's urgent envoy, King Youwang rushed from the Eight Heavens to the official yamen as soon as possible.

When King Youwang arrived at the official yamen, the officials at all levels in Jicheng had basically arrived.

"Your Majesty has issued a request for documents."

A eunuch from the Northern Division pulled out a scroll of cloth from the leather bookcase sent by Hongling's envoy.

"I'll kneel and listen to the Word!"

Under the leadership of the Youwang, the officials all knelt down.

The eunuch cleared his shrill voice and recited aloud.

"Since ancient times, emperors have been in the world, all of China have lived inside to control Yidi, and Yidi has lived outside to serve China, but the grassland Yidi and the like have violated my Dayu border every year, slaughtered my people, robbed me of food and clothing, and humiliated my children and people, and the disaster of poison is especially better than natural disasters.

Whenever the grassland Yidi violates the realm, the sky is burned, the obscene and poisonous are extremely ugly, the fishy wind is sown in the four seas, the demonic energy is full of the universe, and the people of Dayu are either fish and meat, or slaves and maids are miserable.

Such evil deeds exhaust the bamboos of the southern mountains, and cannot write about the filth of the land, break the waves of the East China Sea, and cannot wash away the sins of the heavens.

Today, please all the gentlemen work hard to clear up, bravely chase away Yidi, protect the family and defend the country, so that the people of the border fortress can get their place, and the shame of Xue Dayu. ”

"We will defend Dayu to the death!"

All the officials said in a loud voice.

After the eunuch finished reading Emperor Shengheng's conquest document, he hurriedly helped King You.

"Your Highness, this is the battle plan sent by the Northern Division and the Ministry of War, as well as the deployment of the grassland tribe's troops!"

Saying that, the eunuch handed another leather booklet to the Youwang.

"This time, Your Majesty actually issued a conquest document, it seems that Your Majesty also attaches great importance to this grassland tribe attack!"

The Ghost King handed the bookhouse to his attendant and said.

"Who's to say it isn't! According to the biography of Gong Qiao's flying pigeon, His Majesty is worried about the matter of the border plug these days, after all, in addition to the number of people in the grassland tribe this year is more than in previous years, the behavior is also more secretive, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong! ”

The eunuch bent over and nodded.

"Yes, I don't know what to do this year, but fortunately, there are many more troops supporting the feudal towns and vassal kings in the border this year than in previous years."

The Ghost King said as he walked out.

"Now Gonggong Qiao is looking forward to the heavy snow falling on this side soon, so that the attack of the grassland tribe will be greatly frustrated."

The eunuch said with a smile.

"I hope so!"

With a sigh, King You stepped out of the yamen, and now he was going to gather the generals of the feudal lords in the various feudal towns and start assigning tasks so that they could hurry to the border fortress to support.

The next day, early in the morning, all the feudal army and the feudal army, as well as the beggar army in various places, were all assigned tasks.

Since the grassland tribe was attacking three cities this time, the armies of each place were also divided into three parts.

Among them, Shanggu County was allocated 40% of all reinforcements, while Yunzhong County and Yuyang County were each allocated 30%.

When the Northern Division and the Military Department received the specific information of the grassland tribe, they made various predictions, and the final result they came to was that the possibility of the grassland tribe's attack was Shanggu County, followed by Yuyang County, and finally Yunzhong County.

The reason for this judgment is that the number of people attacking Shanggu County this time is 60,000, and although Yunzhong County is also 60,000, there is a high probability that they will transfer some of Yunzhong County's troops to Shanggu County after the official start of the war.

And mobilizing 60,000 people to attack Yunzhong County is actually a cover, after all, even after conquering Yunzhong County, the mountainous terrain of Yunzhong County is not suitable for a rapid raid by the grassland cavalry.

And Yuyang County is also more worried about the Beisi and the Ministry of War, although the grassland tribe only has 30,000 people attacking the city, but this is likely to be a cover, after all, the way of the art of war is to avoid the real and make it false.

So in the end, the North Division and the Ministry of War decided to deploy forty percent of the reinforcements in Shanggu County, so that even if they really attacked Yuyang County, the reinforcements from Shanggu County could quickly rush over to support.

"Father, this time we can finally have a good fight with the Ashina clan."

Mu Jianxu rode on a war horse and said excitedly to Mu Yizheng.

"Some grievances should also be settled with the Ashina clan first."

Mu Yizheng was also looking forward to the next battle, he was originally assigned to Yuyang County to support this time, but when he heard that the Chuyue clan was assigned to Shanggu County, he immediately asked King You to transfer his beggar army to Shanggu County.

Considering that he was originally the general of the Chuyue clan and knew more about the Chuyue clan, the Youwang finally agreed to transfer them to Shanggu County to garrison.

"Siqi, this time you went to the battlefield, if you could, you would definitely kill more people from the Moon Clan."

Mu Yi was looking at An Siqi who was riding on a war horse and said.

"Please rest assured, father-in-law, if I have the opportunity, I would like to capture the little khan of the Moon Clan."

An Siqi clenched his fists and said to Mu Yizheng.

And a young man on a horse behind him couldn't help but show disdain at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

"Nie Ji, this is also a good opportunity for you to avenge your father, I heard that Geshu Yuliang is also on the list of the Chuyue clan this time."

Mu Yizheng's spare eyes saw the disdainful smile of this young man named Nie Ji, so he spoke.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will take this dog head of Brother Shu Yuliang to it."

Nie Ji's voice was loud, obviously meaning to compete with An Siqi.

An Siqi was not a stupid person, he immediately heard the meaning of Nie's words.

An Siqi didn't care at all, he just glanced back at Nie Ji, and then smiled slightly.

Mu Yizheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, in his opinion, young people should be as bloody as Nie Ji and An Siqi and disagree with each other, only such young people can make progress.

It's just that he didn't feel Nie Ji's hostility towards An Siqi.

On the other side, Mu Fengxun, the prince of Linwang, was riding on a war horse at this time, and led his Linguo army towards Yuyang County.

He sat on his horse, whistling, carrying the money bag in his hand, and did he spin it around his fingers a few times.

It doesn't look like a gun-stuffed war, but rather a trip out of town.

"Lao Yuan, did you say that this time we are a little more relaxed, after all, there are only 30,000 people outside Yuyang County?"

The one he called Lao Yuan was a middle-aged military general in his forties, and this military general was named Yuan Anyuan.

He is the general of the Linguo Army, and he has been leading troops for twenty years, and he once followed Emperor Shengwu to sweep the grassland.

Therefore, he has extremely rich combat experience, and he is also quite famous in the style of using troops.

So this time Mu Yiang, the king of Linguo, will send him to lead the troops, after all, although Mu Fengxun is nominally the supreme commander of the Linguo Army this time, but in fact, Mu Fengxun's ability is completely unable to lead the troops, so the actual commander of the Linguo Army is this Yuan Anyuan.

Before Mu Fengxun set out on the expedition, Mu Yiang, the king of Lin, had already handed over the talisman to Yuan Anyuan, and told him that he was fully responsible for the Linguo army.

"Your Royal Highness, it seems that the grassland tribe has deployed the least number of troops in Yuyang County this time, but this does not mean that they will not choose to use this as a breakthrough point in the future."

Yuan Anyuan said in a calm tone.

"What! So we're likely to be in danger next? ”

Mu Fengxun shouted nervously.

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, even if the city is broken, I will definitely be able to protect you."

Yuan Anyuan's face was still calm, but the other generals around him were a little disdainful, and some frowned and looked like they hated iron but not steel.

"It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, this old man even pushed my own son into the fire pit, it is really hard-hearted!"

Mu Fengxun sat on the horse and complained to Yuan Anyuan.

"Your Royal Highness, please be cautious, don't say such a rebellious thing."

A war horse rushed up from behind, and immediately a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe hurriedly stopped him.

Mu Fengxun pursed his lips disapprovingly, turned around and glanced behind him.

Just this glance, he could see all the expressions and expressions of the generals behind him.

When he turned his head, a smile appeared on his lips.

It's just that his smile at this time is completely different from his usual smile, and his smile at this time does not have the feeling of a hippie smile in the past, but has a more calm sense of holding Zhizhu.

And Yuan Anyuan also happened to see Mu Fengxun's smile at this time.

It's just that the next moment, Mu Fengxun's face was once again replaced with his usual cynical signature smile.

"It is said that the emperor is far away, and at this time I am already 108,000 miles away from Linguo, is it possible that what I said can still be heard by my father? Could it be that you will sue me? ”

Saying that, Mu Fengxun turned around and rode on horseback, and then looked at all the generals with vigilant eyes.

When they said this, all the generals waved their hands and said that they would not sue.

"I see a few of you thieves, and at first glance you are people who will sue, if my father knows about this matter, it will definitely be your secret."

Mu Fengxun casually pointed to a few generals and said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been wronged, we are all people who value our promises, how can we chew the root of our tongue!"

The generals immediately shouted in panic, a fine bead of sweat oozing from their foreheads.

And the other generals all looked at the few generals who kept arguing with a gloating attitude.

Seeing that these generals were already sweating in a hurry, Mu Fenglin immediately began to laugh.

"Look at you, I just played a little joke with the generals."

The generals who were called breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when An Siqi and Mu Fengxun were going to Biansai, the camp of Yuyang County at this time fell into a strange atmosphere.

At this time, sitting in the middle of the big tent was General Long, and the people sitting in his hand were Zhou Gonggong of the Northern Division and Song Shilong, the deputy commander of the Pengzhou Army.

And below him sat the senior generals of the Pengzhou Army.

At this time, they all sat silently, the table in front of him was full of wine and food, but strangely no one there moved their chopsticks, and they sat behind the table in a daze as if they had all been clicked.

It took a long time for General Long to speak, breaking the silence.

"Let's talk about it, is it possible for the plan proposed by Jun Sima Jing Ziyi just now?"

Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still asked the question.

It's not that he wants to deliberately embarrass these Pengzhou army generals, it's just that he can get a definite answer from others at this moment.

"I think it sounds too fanciful and unlikely."

Gonggong Zhou thought about it for a long time just now, no matter what, he felt that this plan was too exaggerated and too risky, and it was impossible for the people of the grassland tribe to sacrifice so many people to take all the three sides and three levels at once.

After he said this, many of the generals below all nodded in agreement.

After all, I heard that this plan was proposed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, and in their opinion, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man could understand military affairs.

These are just some conjectures he has put forward, and the discussion here is completely unfounded.

"I think it's really very likely that the Grassland Tribe will implement this plan, after all, if it succeeds, the entire Dayu Dynasty will become their own land, so such a high reward is worth fighting."

Song Shilong then expressed his opinion.

"That is, I think it's very possible, think about why did the grassland tribe wait more than a month before attacking? If the steppe tribes really follow this plan, it will make sense. ”

Jing Ziyi added immediately after Song Shilong finished speaking.

Everyone fell silent again, and then everyone focused their eyes on General Long.

All of them were waiting for General Long's opinion.
