He Guan led 20,000 former troops and took the lead in rushing to Chenqiaoyi.

Riding on the horse, He Guan's heart was agitated.

Like Yao Pingzhong and Wang Yan, not long after he was captured, he surrendered to Han Zhen under the persuasion of Han Shizhong and others.

The honor guard was already waiting there, and after the two sides converged, He Guan dismounted and came to Longran, hugged his fists and said: "He Guan, the left deputy general of the Qingzhou Army, has visited Your Majesty, and the 20,000 former troops have arrived." ”

"Let's go."

Han Zhen's voice came from the dragon.

"Order!"

He bowed down and returned to the army.

After a short time, the long line set off again and headed straight for Jinan Mansion.

The 40,000 Chinese troops and auxiliary troops led by Wei Da followed far behind because they were escorting grain and grass and baggage.

The team stops and goes, unhurriedly.

But passing through counties along the way, officials wanted to come to pick up the driver, but they were all refused, on the grounds that they did not want to waste money and labor.

……

……

Thundered!

The sound of galloping horses sounded in the night.

In the backyard of the Zhending Mansion, Tan Xingzhong is in a good mood today, and there are two concubines drinking in the house.

He is a person who can enjoy, his own family has quite a lot of money, and he has received a big red envelope this year, which is enough for him to maintain a luxurious life.

Han Zhen didn't care about this.

As long as they are not corrupt and do not break the law, officials can do whatever they like in private.

"Master, master!"

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Tan Xingzhong's expression changed, and he hurriedly ordered, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and the butler hurriedly walked in, and reported: "Master, a large number of cavalry have come from outside the county, and the leader is to let the old slave hand over this letter to you." ”

Late at night, cavalry?

Tan Xingzhong immediately realized that it must be a big deal, so he took the letter.

After opening it, I saw his pupils shrink suddenly.

There was not a single word on the letter, only a scarlet seal.

The seal is engraved with eight characters with birds and insects: [Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang]

Putting away the letter, Tan Xingzhong put on his official uniform and ordered: "Quickly, inform Ruan Tongju and go out of the city with me." ”

"The old slave is going."

The butler turned and left.

"Wait."

Tan Xingzhong seemed to think of something, and stopped him: "No need, I'll go alone." ”

The official's sudden visit late at night was so mysterious that he definitely didn't want to expose it.

After putting on his official uniform and tidying up his appearance, Tan Xingzhong stepped on his horse alone and went straight to the east city gate.

"Talk about the prefect!"

Seeing him coming, the capital head who was on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm."

Tan Xingzhong nodded, looking down.

In the dim light, he saw that the black cavalry under the city wall were all dressed in Xuan armor, and the generals led by him had golden dragon patterns faintly on their chests, so he immediately ordered: "Open the city gate." ”

The black light armor with gold beast pattern is the exclusive armor of high-ranking generals in the military department.

Based on the black light armor of the Tang Dynasty, it has been improved, the process is more complex, and the shape is more domineering, and it is not easy for others to imitate it.

Others may not be able to tell the difference, but he, a native of Yidu, can't he know.

"This ......"

They were all stunned.

Tan Xingzhong scolded: "Don't delay, open the city gate quickly, what is wrong, the official will bear it alone." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing his solemn expression, he didn't dare to ask more, and ordered someone to open the city gate.

After a while, the city gate was opened from the inside, and Tan Xingzhong carried the lantern and went out of the city alone.

All the way to the cavalry led by him, he bowed down and said in a low voice: "Weichen talks about Xingzhong to meet Your Majesty." ”

At this moment, Tan Xingzhong's heart set off turbulent waves.

The official family is obviously going to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and now he suddenly leads his troops to Zhending Mansion, there must be something big to happen.

Han Zhen sat on his horse, pulled away Xiang Dun, who covered his entire face, and commanded: "I am on the way to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, understand? ”

"Wechen understands!"

Tan Xingzhong hurriedly responded.

Han Zhen said: "Send someone to send some food out, don't make a noise." ”

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, Weichen will arrange it."

Tan Xingzhong said that, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the city.

Taking advantage of this time, Han Zhen ordered the cavalry to dismount and rest.

In a short time, the poor archers pushed the grain carts out of the city.

The archers, apparently under orders, lowered their eyes one by one, did not dare to look around, and after delivering the grain carts, turned around and left.

After eating and drinking, and resting for a while, Han Zhen turned over and waved his hand: "Let's go." ”

Thundered!

The sound of galloping horses' hooves sounded again, and soon disappeared into the night.

Standing on the city tower, looking at the disappeared cavalry, Tan Xingzhong looked around at the poor archers, and said sharply: "No cavalry has come tonight, you haven't seen anything, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

The archers responded in unison.

"If anyone dares to leak the news, the official will definitely investigate to the end and punish him severely!"

Dropping this sentence, Tan Xingzhong walked down the city tower quickly.

His Majesty appeared in Zhending Mansion, something big must happen, and he had to prepare early.

……

……

The sky was bright.

Han Zhen led 5,000 cavalry into the Yuzhou army camp in Xicao Gupu.

"The last general will see Your Majesty!"

Han Shizhong led Xiao Wu, Yu Jun and other generals to pick up.

"No need to be polite."

Han Zhen turned over and dismounted, striding towards the White Tiger Hall.

The old nine and other guards followed behind.

Sitting on the seats, he asked straight to the point, "How is the movement of the Jin people?" ”

Han Shizhong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the scout battalion and the spies of the secret spy department, the army under the command of Yan Zonghan has not yet moved, it is still stationed in Datong, and it is currently mobilizing grain and grass. ”

Han Zhen asked again: "How are the Jin people stationed at the border?" ”

Han Shizhong said: "With Yanmen Pass in the middle, there are more than 8,000 people in the east to Pingxing Pass, Bauhinia Pass, and Backward Horse Pass, and there are more than 10,000 Jin troops in the west to Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, and Yatou Pass, and to the Yellow River. ”

Since he was stationed in Zhending Mansion, he has clearly understood the deployment of the border of Jinguo.

"What about Yanmen Pass?"

"A thousand."

Hearing this, Han Zhen was silent for a while.

There are only 1,000 people in Yanmen Pass, not because of Yan Zonghan's carelessness, but because the terrain of Yanmen Pass is too dangerous.

Only 1,000 people need to be arranged, and with the help of the terrain and Xiongguan, it is enough to resist tens of thousands of people from the south.

There are nine stops in the world, led by Yanmen, this is not just talking.

Seven or eight times out of ten China's dangers are in Yanyun.

Zhao Song dreamed of recapturing the sixteen states of Yanyun, not without reason, as long as they occupied these two places, it would be difficult for the northerners to go south again.

Fortunately, he went north to attack gold last year and took Yanzhou back, backed by the dangerous pass of Jiancheng, as long as Nie Dong did not commit stupidity, Wanyan Zongwang would not be able to enter Hebei at all.

Now, if Yunzhou is taken back, then the two countries of Qijin will attack and defend in a different shape.

Xiao Wu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and asked, "Your Majesty, when will we start?" ”

Han Zhen said loudly: "At the latest, He Guan and Wei Da will arrive, and they will start immediately." ”

The Yuzhou army is only 30,000, and under the surprise attack, it is natural to seize the borders of Wuzhou, Ulzhou, Shuozhou, Yingzhou, etc., but once Yan Zonghan reacts, the army will press the border, and 30,000 people will be unable to move an inch.

In this gold attack, Han Zhen planned to seize the land of Yunzhou, including Xijing Datong, with lightning speed.

This is also in line with his usual strategy of employing troops, which is as fast as the wind and invades like fire, and does not give the opponent the slightest respite.

"The last general commands!"

Han Shizhong and the others responded with their fists clasped one after another, their eyes flashing with hot battle intent.

Now, everyone thought that the 60,000 Qingzhou troops were stationed at the foot of Mount Tai, but they didn't know that the barracks were already empty.

The army of 60,000 plus 50,000 auxiliaries was divided into three groups, and they went out by day and night.

The officials of the counties and counties they passed along the way had already obtained their orders, and they strictly controlled the people under their rule, and they were not allowed to leak a single rumor.

However, the plan has reached this point, even if it is discovered by the secret agents of the two countries, it will be too late.

It has been at least ten days since the information was transmitted back to Jin Song and then delivered to the high-level people, and there was no time to deal with it.
