Chapter 697: The Wind Rises

Fancheng camp.

A group of cavalry galloped into the city, the first two were young, but the equestrian skills were extremely skillful, after the war horses entered the camp, the speed did not decrease, the cavalry had thrown off the saddle and dismounted, and landed firmly on the ground.

The same was true of the other cavalry.

Although the Black Cloud Army is divided into infantry and cavalry, the infantry is also equipped with war horses, and the horse kung fu is no worse than that of the cavalry.

As soon as the war horse was taken away by the auxiliaries, a herald came, "The general summons Li and Meng Erdu!" ”

Li You and Meng Kuan glanced at each other, and they both felt a little strange today.

"Just the two of us?" Meng Kuan said in a thick voice.

"The general has been waiting for a long time." The herald was extremely capable, and did not say a word of nonsense.

The two had to follow the herald to the lobby of the Chinese army.

Qin Biao also had a few more strands of gray hair between his temples, but he led the troops all the year round, and his body was more powerful, and a look could make people shudder, and he waved his hand to let the others withdraw, before he took out the yellow silk, "Your Majesty's edict." ”

The two of them shook their whole bodies and bowed down on one knee.

"Feng the second prince Li You is the king of Qin, and Qin Biao, Mi Jin, and Meng Kuan will select 3,000 elites and seal the north of Tianshan Mountain."

Of course, the edict is not so concise, but Qin Biao's style has always been concise, never talking nonsense, and he didn't even open the edict, and gave it directly to Li You.

Li You looked in a daze, as if he hadn't come back to his senses.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Qin!" Qin Biao bowed down on one knee unusually simply.

Li You was excited, and hurriedly went to help Qin Biao, "General Qin doesn't have to be like this. ”

Although the two are superiors and subordinates, but a prince is in the army, Qin Biao must not turn a blind eye, and secretly take care of him.

Li You knew it, but he just didn't say it.

Meng Kuan, who was on the side, stood up by himself and laughed, "King Qin, it's still true that the Western Regions are sealed, and Ayouke can show his strength!" ”

Qin Biao raised his eyebrows, glared at Meng Kuan and reprimanded: "There must be no distinction between upper and lower in the army, His Royal Highness is the same captain as you, there are no taboos, now His Royal Highness is the king, you are the courtier, how can you be so rude?" Come on, drag it out and beat it with twenty sticks! ”

"Yui!" Immediately, two guards with tigers on their backs opened the tent.

"General ......" Li You was a little unbearable, after all, the two have been inseparable for many years, born and died, and they are like brothers.

Meng Kuan was also stunned.

"Drag it out!" Qin Biao's face was as heavy as iron, "The king is the king, the minister is the minister, don't mix it up, dare to do this, and you will not be spared!" ”

Without waiting for Li You to persuade again, the guards had already dragged Meng Kuan out, and they crackled outside the tent.

Meng Kuan didn't say a word, Qin Biao didn't say a word, and the hall fell silent.

Meng Kuan is brave and good at fighting, he has made a name for himself in the army in recent years, and his relationship with the emperor is indeed a little arrogant, but no matter how arrogant and reckless he is, he does not dare to make a mistake in front of a murderous general like Qin Biao.

Honestly beaten.

After a while, Li You seemed to have figured it out, and arched his hand, "General Xie instructed." ”

Qin Biao's rock-hard face still didn't have any expression, "If Your Highness has nothing else to do, you can pack up and leave in two hours." ”

"So fast?" Li You was slightly surprised.

"The military order is like a mountain!" Qin Biao exudes the ability of a soldier from the inside out, and has always regarded military orders as his life, and he doesn't even look at Luoyang's family.

But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, "General, urgent report from the south!" ”

"Enter!"

The door curtain was opened, and the scouts worshiped in front of Qin Biao, "Huan Wen led 20,000 elites down the river, Jiangling Yu Miao and Yu Youzhi convened the old troops to rebel, Wuling barbarian thief Wenlu responded, and Changsha demon thief Li Hong led the people to rise up!" ”

A few years ago, Huan Wen's first Northern Expedition to Hefei failed, and in order to establish authority, he abolished the establishment and took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

The Yu clan, who had important influence in Jingxiang, was falsely accused of assisting Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, in his rebellion.

The Yu family was purged, Yu Qian and Yu Rou, who lived in the temple, were imprisoned by the court lieutenant and beheaded, Yu Yun committed suicide by drinking, and Yu Xize, Yu Miao, and Yu Yu fled into Hailing Pize.

The Yingchuan Yu clan, which was once very prosperous, suffered a major blow and was almost wiped out.

The hatred with Huan Wen is as deep as the sea.

You must know that Huan Wen was a striker under Yu Yi back then, and the two had a good relationship, and they were both mixed in the Jiangdong celebrity circle.

The reason why Huan Wen was able to ascend to the throne was because the Jiankang Imperial Court was afraid of the Yu in the upper reaches, and instead supported Huan Wen, who was acceptable to both parties.

Without Yu's nod, Huan Wen couldn't go up, and now that he has gone up, he is the first to take the old boss's family......

The Wei and Jin dynasties were rife with blood revenge, and Huan Wen killed his father's enemy with a blade, and now the Yu family is also coming to take revenge.

At that time, Yu Yi was the governor of the military of the six states, the general of Anxi, and the history of Jingzhou, and the power was not under today's Huan Wen, and there were a large number of old scattered among Jingxiang.

Now that the time is ripe, the mysterious power is threading the needle through it, and it is a matter of course.

This time the fear of chaos is quite strong, Wuling Barbarian Wenlu has 5,000 barbarian soldiers, Changsha thief Li Hong gathered more than 20,000 people, and the Yu family has invested all his net worth, gathering more than 10,000 soldiers, and has also received the secret support of Jing Xiang Haoqiang.

The three forces cooperate with each other and echo each other, even if Huan Wen immediately returns to the army, it is impossible to pacify the three people in a short time.

"Is there any movement in Xiangyang?" Qin Biao's eyes lit up.

Xiangyang and Fancheng face each other across the Han River, and they have not been able to capture it for so many years, and they have always been haunted.

The military exploits of the Liang army on the front line of Jingxiang have also stopped for many years.

Seeing that the other robes were either attacking Guanzhong, or seeking to pacify Liangzhou, and expeditioning to the Western Regions, the Liang army of Fancheng naturally felt pressure.

"Huan Huo Town is in the city, and no one is in trouble."

"It's a pity!" Li You secretly screamed.

Qin Biao's expression became more and more excited, "Jiangling, Wuling, and Changsha are in turmoil, and they will divide the momentum of Xiangyang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the whole army will be ordered to attack Xiangyang immediately!" Another 600 miles to expedited, Pegasus sent a message to Luoyang, asking for reinforcements. ”

Opportunities don't come all the time.

In recent years, the strategic position of Xiangyang has become more and more prominent, and Huan Wen personally guards this place.

Now Huan Wen led the army south to threaten Jiankang, missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I will wait in the future.

"General, the imperial edict ......," Li You reminded.

"Prioritize the matter, take Xiangyang first, and capture Jingzhou." Qin Biao's whole body was in good spirits.

To break the confrontation between the north and the south, the key lies in Xiangyang, and it is in this battle.

Qin Biao, as a general of Liang Guo, still has this eyesight.

The whole Fancheng suddenly became busy.

The neighing of war horses and the clanging of armor came like a tide.

In the upper reaches of the Han River, large and small warships and rafts cover the river.

Mi Jin of the upstream Xincheng County also rushed to hear the news.

Xiangyang also reacted very quickly, with a Han River on both sides, standing on the city wall, the soldiers with good eyesight could roughly see each other's movements.

When the Jin army and navy heard the news, more than 300 large and small warships went upstream.

The Han water flowed, the war drums roared, and countless Jin troops carried bows and crossbows to the city wall.

A big war is about to begin.
