Chapter 102: The Barbarians Are Coming?
The atmosphere in North County is becoming more and more depressing, and the dark clouds of war have hung over North County.
When the Northern Palace's Mansion issued a notice on the clear field of the strong wall, the people of Great Xia had a new understanding of the Northern King.
People didn't expect that the king of the north actually planned to take 30,000 soldiers to fight to the death with 300,000 barbarian cavalry in Yancheng.
The king of the north, who had been unlearned and incompetent, stood up all of a sudden, which made the people of Great Xia feel incredible, especially those officials in the imperial court.
People can't help but wonder if the king of the north really has the consciousness to die in battle for the north gun?
That's 300,000 cavalry!
How could 30,000 people be able to stop it?
Could it be that the lustful and incompetent North King is actually very backbone?
Although he spends all his days drinking and greedy for pleasure, he is actually a good prince?
At the same time, the assassination of the Eighth Prince was instantly suppressed by the life and death declaration of the Northern King, and it seemed that in the eyes of people, it didn't matter who the Eighth Prince was assassinated by.
Now what the people of Great Xia want to know most is whether the king of the north can stop the 300,000 army of the barbarians, and wait for the army of the imperial court to go north to support.
As for the battle for succession in the capital, most of the people don't care much about it, and it can be said that Lu Chen's announcement directly focused everyone's attention on Beijun and on him personally.
This is the first prince who dared to take 30,000 soldiers to fight to the death with the barbarians since the founding of Great Xia, and it was also a prince who was once considered a waste.
This made the eighth prince Lu Shuyun extremely angry, and the king of the north attracted all his attention to the north county, and almost no one cared about what happened to him.
His mansion was washed in blood, and people didn't even care, the key is that the Criminal Department has been investigating for so long, and there is not even a single clue about the assassins, as if those assassins disappeared out of thin air.
There are even rumors in the market that he played all this, the purpose is to make Emperor Xia notice him, this is pure bitter meat.
Hearing these rumors, Lu Shuyun's lungs were about to explode, his mansion was washed in blood, and even the grandmaster who the Wang family arranged for him to protect him was killed, and some people even said that it was a bitter trick.
Whoever plays a bitter meat trick will kill the grandmaster of his own power!
A grandmaster can top thousands of martial artists, and only when he is sick in the brain will he sacrifice the grandmaster to play a bitter trick.
……
Bactria Dynasty.
King Qi Boundary.
A large army in red armor was marching rapidly, approaching in the direction of Yancheng.
In the capital, because of the grain and grass that dragged on for so long, Lin Xiuming finally took the 70,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court to the north to defend against the barbarians.
He had his soldiers march as hard as they could, in order to be able to join the Northern King before the barbarians reached Yancheng.
Their 70,000 soldiers plus tens of thousands of soldiers in North County have more than 100,000 soldiers.
Although they are not the opponents of the barbarians when they go out of the city to fight, they still have no problem holding a few key cities, as long as they hold on, they can buy time for the various vassal kings of Great Xia to send troops.
Especially King Qi, who is closest to Beijun.
If King Qi does not send troops, then the barbarians will be able to directly enter King Qi's fiefdom, so King Qi must be the first of all vassal kings to send troops, and with King Qi's army, their chances of victory will be greater.
Lin Xiuming, who was riding on a horse, looked at the lower and lower peaks in the distance, and knew that they were not far from Beijun, Lin Xiuming was a little worried in his heart, he didn't know what the situation in Beijun was now.
Have the barbarians entered the North County? Did the soldiers of the Northern King hold the city? Has the North King been frightened and fled? None of this was clear to him.
After setting out from the capital, they had not received any information from Beijun, so he was worried now.
If the king of the north left the people and fled south, and the soldiers of the king of the north did not hold the city, and lost the key cities that resisted the barbarians going south, then their 70,000 soldiers wanted to hold the north county again, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream.
Especially Yancheng.
Yancheng is located below the Wanning River Valley, and if the barbarian cavalry wants to go south, it is likely to pass through the Wanning River Valley.
If Yancheng is still there, and they hold Yancheng, the barbarian soldiers will not be able to go south for a while, and it will take time to detour.
If Yancheng is lost, the barbarians will be able to drive straight into the fiefdom of King Qi.
By that time, if Great Xia did not gather hundreds of thousands of troops, there would be no way to drive the barbarians out of Beijun.
Just when Lin Xiuming was worried when he looked at Beijun, a soldier on horseback came to Lin Xiuming with a bamboo tube containing intelligence.
"General, intelligence from the North Counties."
Hearing this, Lin Xiuming's brain was stunned, and he took the bamboo tube from the soldier's hand, then took out the information inside, and looked at it seriously.
After seeing that the North King had withdrawn all the defenses north of Yancheng, Lin Xiuming's face instantly turned pale.
North King, this is crazy?
Unexpectedly, all the defenses north of Yancheng were withdrawn, and without those cities as a buffer, the barbarian soldiers would be directed at Yancheng.
How could the soldiers of Yancheng be able to stop the 300,000 army of the barbarians!
That's not how the line of defense is contracted.
The barbarian cavalry could march much faster than them, and if the barbarians had not resisted Yancheng without any resistance.
I am afraid that when the imperial army arrives in Yancheng, it will not be them who will defend the city, but the barbarians who will defend the city.
At this time, Lin Xiuming seemed to have seen the scene of the defeat in the battle in the north, and then he was disposed of.
Although he is the son of the prime minister, he can't shirk his responsibility for the defeat of the war, even if it is not his responsibility, Emperor Xia will inevitably find someone to take responsibility.
The North King is the prince, representing the royal face, and he can't let the North King take responsibility.
The only one who can be held responsible in the end may be himself, the general who led the troops north.
Lin Xiuming was angry at this time, he really wanted to see the North Queen Bang Bang give him two punches.
However, when Lin Xiuming saw the information that the North King and the soldiers of Yancheng were going to fight to the death with the barbarians, Lin Xiuming's original resentment against the North King disappeared in an instant.
He frowned, his gaze repeatedly scanning the information in front of him.
A waste prince, suddenly having such an awareness, Lin Xiuming felt incredible.
If the North King really resisted desperately, maybe when they rushed to Yancheng, the North King would still be saved.
If the will of the king of the north is not firm and shakes the heart of the army, then the king of the north will either die or be captured by the barbarians.
After a while, Lin Xiuming came back to his senses, and then said loudly: "Speed up the march!" We must join the Northern King before the barbarians reach Yancheng! ”
……
North County.
Yancheng, Beiwangfu.
Lu Chen was in the study and carefully looked at the information sent by Wu Yuan about Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.
Yelu Nanyan's information is what Lu Chen is most interested in, Yelu Nanyan is a woman, she can have such a high status in the tribe of the Sirius King, and she can also make the Sirin King listen to her like this, it can be seen that she is indeed not simple, not an ordinary woman.
At this moment, a soldier's voice suddenly sounded at the door of the study, "Lord Wang, something is wrong!" ”
Hearing Mu Changtian's urgent voice, Lu Chen immediately said, "Come in." ”
The soldier immediately pushed the door in, and before Lu Chen could ask, the soldier took the initiative to speak: "Lord Wang, a cavalry in the Wanning River Valley is rapidly approaching Yancheng!" Suspected of being the vanguard cavalry of the barbarians! ”
Because this book was first published in Q Reading, the score of Q Reading is still more important.
In the future, every ten five-star praises added to the Q reading, I will add one more.
When you just need to comment, you can give five stars, it's very simple.
In addition, I recommend a book of the same type, "Many Sons and Many Blessings", starting from the vassal king to fight for hegemony in the last days, the ancient end times, and my book is the same as the hegemony of the world, but also a harem text, if you like this kind of thing, you can take a look.
