Chapter 238: Luan drove out, and the battle began
Anzhou, and Xiongzhou are separated by a Yangyang Pass.
The Xiong of the North Abyss and the An of the Big End, the way they are named seems to represent completely different expectations.
As the location of the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Anzhou has become the center of many materials, people, and news circulation.
The county magistrate of Anzhou City interestingly cleaned up his own government office early for Han Feilong's office.
Han Feilong was also unceremonious, he knew in his heart that as long as he could win this battle, everything would be easy to say, and if he couldn't win, eating two more pieces of meat would be a reason for sin.
His Majesty and the national teacher's trust in him is very rare, but if he loses in the northern war after the defeat of the Misty Hidden Valley, no one can save him.
Therefore, Han Feilong was in the county hall at the moment, pointing anxiously at a man.
"It's been two days, and I still can't find out? Aren't the three teams so big the key monitoring targets of your department?"
The man who was almost poked in the forehead by Han Feilong was Wei Sihai, a member of the staff department of the Ministry of War, and when the staff division was sitting in Tianjing City, he was the head of the entire staff division.
Such an intelligence leader, but under the powerful pressure of Han Feilong, he was like a small grass in the wind, swaying bitterly.
Wei Sihai had a bitter face, "Dashuai, the six kings have arrived in the Blue Wolf Plain, but the Xianbei Iron Horse has come and gone like the wind, and it has always been difficult for our people to get close to the scout information, but for a while, there is no specific location, only to see them come out of the old nest of the Ten Thousand Horse Plain." As for the Blizzard Dragoons, you see that Helian Qingshan has been in Xiongzhou for so long, and most of the Blizzard Dragoons are also hiding in Xiongzhou. ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't want anything, Lao Tzu wants accurate information!" Han Feilong sat back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sihai, your staff has made a great contribution, and I immediately wrote a report to show you for your merits, and the surviving one even gave you the advice of being knighted, you can't feel that you have enough to explain, so you will slack off." ”
Wei Sihai plopped and knelt on the ground, "The marshal misunderstood, the staff is deeply favored by the emperor, how dare you not be loyal to the country!"
"That's fine, hurry up and hurry, this commander must know as soon as possible whether the Beiyuan Emperor will personally lead the troops, and the direction of his main attack!" Han Feilong commanded.
Wei Sihai walked out with a hunched body, and halfway through, he was stopped by Han Feilong again, "You only have one day! After a day, no matter whether there is a result or not, we need to make deployments, so compared to that price, there are some costs that we can bear." ”
Wei Sihai's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Obey!"
Before dawn the next day, Humphrey lay on the table and pondered the border map in front of him.
There were only three directions of the invasion of the North Abyss.
From Yinyang Pass to Anzhou, and then go straight down, the troops are in the upper reaches of Yunshui, threatening Tianjing City, which is the middle line;
This is the simplest, the closest road to Tianjing City, but at the same time, it is also the most heavily fortified road in Daduan, along the road seven states and twenty-five counties, everywhere is fully armed, and a defense line can be organized anytime and anywhere.
Since the invasion of Qiuyan Pass, breaking Dangzhou and Shuozhou, plundering the northwest, breaking through the natural danger of Tongtianguan, and forcing Tianjing City, it is the western front;
This road is not as prosperous as the middle line, and because of the existence of natural dangers through the sky, the strategic significance is not great, but the advantage is that the terrain is flat, the garrison at the big end is weak, and it is difficult for the defenders to transport grain and grass.
Invaded from Shanheguan, passing through the vast plains of Pingzhou, Tangzhou and Jiaozhou, it could threaten Tianjing City from both land and water, which was the eastern front.
There are many benefits of this road, the terrain is flat, there is no natural danger all the way to Tianjing City, and the strategic threat is great, but the reason why it has not become the first choice for the north and south invasion is because its disadvantages are also very fatal.
Shanhe Pass is a better than Tongtian Pass, once there was an Emperor Beiyuan who did not believe in evil, and paid the price of 300,000 soldiers and horses under Shanhe Pass and failed to break this Xiongguan.
Moreover, although the terrain along the way is flat, the people in this area are fierce and martial, and the countryside is staggered, and the invaders often have no good end.
Back then, the Ling family army swept the world, and most of the vicious battles that could be counted took place in this area.
Han Feilong rubbed his sour eyes, "It seems that it is more likely to be the middle line!"
A personal soldier hurriedly handed him a hot cloth towel and dressed his eyes.
Huang Daxing and Du Ruoyan naturally couldn't really be Han Feilong's personal soldiers, so they had already led an army to act.
The imperial court is doing this way, it is nothing more than giving the good people to Han Feilong to do it, the simplest imperial power technique.
Han Feilong leaned back in his chair and covered his face with a cloth towel, thinking to himself, why hadn't the reply from His Majesty and the National Teacher arrived yet.
"Han Dashuai is so Yaxing. ”
Han Feilong tore off the cloth towel, and suddenly an old man stood in the hall.
"Is Han Dashuai waiting for news from Tianjing City?" the old man smiled.
"Your Excellency?"
"In the Foggy Hidden Valley, Han Dashuai and my fishing friend only cooperated. ”
"Humphrey has seen a saint. ”
Although the final outcome of the battle in the Fog Hidden Valley was not good, he admired the saint's methods from the bottom of his heart, and in fact, the final loss was also a non-war crime.
The person who came was Beitangwang who came in the starry night, and he handed over a note with a smile, "There are no saints for a long time, this time I have discussed with Your Majesty, with me here, it is more convenient to pass on the news." ”
Han Feilong took the note with both hands, and when he saw the string of numbers, his heart jumped, and he immediately understood His Majesty's attitude.
He raised his head, and Beitangwang smiled freely.
--------------------------
To achieve great things, it really requires such calmness, or to put it mildly, it is called thick-skinned.
Xue Ming didn't know whether it was out of suspicion or jealousy, so he chose to hang Yu Nan aside.
Yu Nan was not discouraged at all, took a shower happily, changed into clean clothes, and sat quietly in the room to recuperate.
That dusty temperament made all the maidservants blush.
In the evening, after dinner, there was still no Xue Ming's recall, and Yu Nan still recuperated calmly.
This is a protracted battle, and there is no rush for a while.
In the deep darkness of the night, there was silence
, so that the slight sound of the deadbolt actuating is so clear.
"I heard that the second prince was on the Xiaotian list, and today I saw it really extraordinary. ”
Yu Nan was not in a hurry, smiling and complimenting.
Xue Ming picked a chair at random and sat down, there was no light in the room, but for the two cultivators of the Profound Realm and the Knowing Destiny Realm, it didn't matter at all.
In the process of escaping, when he was struggling with life and death, Yu Nan successfully compressed the sea of qi, formed a true yuan cyclone, broke through the peak of the divine artistic conception, and ascended to the Tongxuan realm.
Xue Ming said softly, "I don't really believe you. ”
"It should. ”
"Especially when I know you've been so famous at Big End. ”
"That's all the more right. ”
"Your original success, to losing power, to escaping from prison, all of this is actually traceable and reasonable, but I still don't believe you, do you know why?"
"Your Highness, please make it clear. ”
"It's because it's so perfect, so perfect that someone deliberately made it. ”
With these words, Xue Mingzhi's breath of fate realm was released without reservation, and the qi machine firmly locked on Yu Nan, his eyes burning, staring at every expression on his face.
He saw unwillingness and resentment, but all his expressions eventually turned into sadness.
Yu Nan looked at Xue Ming, "My people are dead. ”
Xue Ming was silent.
Yu Nan didn't speak again.
The two sat quietly opposite each other like this, and the insects outside seemed to feel something, and at this moment, the heavens and the earth were quiet.
After a long time, Xue Ming spoke softly, "Someone from the palace has just arrived, and he ordered me to go to Immortal City early tomorrow morning." ”
Yu Nan thought silently, "I can congratulate Your Highness, King Jing really doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Xue Ming was surprised: "What do you say?"
"The prince is in charge of the country. ”
-------------------------
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court. ”
Gonggong He reminded softly.
Xue Lu picked up a wet cloth towel and wiped his guard, wiped his mouth, got up and walked towards the Hall of Eternal Life.
The early dynasty of Beiyuan is more strange, only on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the first month, three great dynasties, and the great dynasty is for everyone to participate.
In addition, the small court meeting held every three days was attended only by the courtiers under the right prime minister.
The seven-day ash painting discussion was held only with the participation of the princes and the nobles of the steppe.
If it is occasionally the turn of the small court meeting and the ash discussion to squeeze together, simply hold a big court meeting.
Today, it happens to be an occasional pilgrimage meeting.
Heading south is imminent, Xue Lu rarely ate a grassland breakfast, and endured the greasy and full stomach to come to the chair in the court and sit down.
Since it is a large court meeting, the layout is different from the ash discussion, and all the princes and ministers are honestly standing in the hall.
The chattering ministers of the past are all stitched together in their mouths today;
In the past, the princes of the various tribes who were casual and casual tried their best to straighten their backs, revealing their round bellies.
No one wants to do anything at such a time that might touch the mold and get into trouble.
Under such circumstances, the Great Pilgrimage Conference ended in a hurry with a few decrees.
Xue Lu drove the expedition in person, and the princes of each department went south with the army.
In the case that there is no queen in the harem, Concubine De, one of the imperial concubines, dominates the harem.
The former dynasty ordered the second prince Xue Ming to supervise the country, and the head of the royal family, King Yong, Xue Yong, and the old minister Yuan Tao of the three dynasties jointly managed government affairs.
All other matters are in accordance with the old practice.
Soon after the decree was announced, Emperor Yuan's Luan drove out of the Immortal City and went straight to the Blue Wolf Plain, leaving behind a stunned and noisy city.
Cui Pheasant sat on the chair and looked at the old man with a respectful expression.
Xue Yong waved his hand, "Little girl, don't pretend, the arrogance in your heart can't be hidden, and you don't need to hide it in my place." ”
Cui Pheasant believed Xue Yong's words and regained his coldness.
Because, she was the first person to be personally received by Xue Yong after Emperor Yuan issued an order and Xue Yong assisted in defending the country.
That's enough to say a lot.
"The old man will see you, and he will be the first to see you, there will be a great risk. ”
"I know that we can afford to take this risk. ”
Listening to Cui Pheasant's answer, a trace of appreciation flashed in Xue Yong's eyes, it was not easy to understand the meaning of his words, and it was even more difficult to understand it so quickly.
"Tell me what you mean?"
"Eight horses. ”
Xue Yong suddenly restrained his leisure, his expression was serious with these compassions, "I thought you forgot." ”
Cui Pheasant honestly admitted, "I didn't have the strength to catch it before, and the time was not ripe." ”
"Help you rescue them, I can afford the punishment afterwards, it is nothing more than cutting off the prince, I should regard it as a loyal martyr who has recruited the boy for the country all his life, and I have been drinking with me all these years in the town. But can you bear it? The thunderous wrath of His Majesty after returning to Beijing? If you win, you will have no supreme authority, and if you lose, you will kill even more fiercely. Xue Yong stared at Cui Pheasant's eyes and asked very directly.
Cui Pheasant thought for a moment, "Yes." ”
The excitement on Xue Yong's face quickly subsided, and he leaned back slightly, "Tell me what you know." ”
"Eight horses, Chiji Liu He, thief Li Feng Qing, Bai Yi Liang Hao, Yu Lun Zheng Xuan, Shanzi Xie Chong, Qu Huang Pei Heng, Hua Lu Chu Ye, Green Ear Deng Qing. Among them, Shanzi Xie Chong followed the chief manager Yan to Daduan and escaped a catastrophe. Chiji Liu He, Bai Yi Liang Hao, and Qu Huang Pei Heng died, and the thieves Feng Qing and Hua Liu Chu Ye rebelled, and now they are on death row in Changsheng City, which are Zheng Xuan and Deng Qing. ”
Cui Pheasant's narration is very fluent, obviously he has done a lot of homework, as a newcomer, he still has some skills to find out this still secret news.
Xue Yong sighed, "The thief Feng Qing and the thief Chu Ye were both taken away by His Majesty. Tomorrow I will arrange for your people to meet them once, and you will determine the candidates in advance. ”
Cui Pheasant got up and saluted, and Xue Yong waved his hand.
-----------------------------
"Father, why was the country supervised by the second prince in the previous dynasty, but the harem was supervised by Concubine Degui, the mother of the eldest prince, aren't you afraid of contradictions?"
In the courtyard of the Yuan family, Yuan Tao sat on a chair
On the road, the son of the cart behind him asked softly.
Yuan Tao's eyelids closed slightly, and he was silent, and Yuan Mei knew that he had asked another stupid question.
He thought about it silently, and felt that he understood, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't understand it again, so he simply stopped pondering, and sighed: "The next life of King Jing will not be easy." ”
Yuan Tao snorted softly, "If you don't go to Qinglou this month, I will pass on the position of head of the family to you." ”
Yuan Mei showed cold sweat on his face and quickly knelt aside.
"I can't understand the reasoning with you, this family really wants to count on you, it's already over!"
Yuan Tao pulled the blanket on his leg and closed his eyes again.
------------------------------
When Xue Lu appeared in the Blue Wolf Plain, hundreds of thousands of troops who had been waiting for a long time marched south after taking the oath.
While hundreds of thousands of troops were heading south, one man and one rider left Fengyang City alone and headed east.
For the first time in a long time, Yunluo began a dialogue between himself and himself.
What do you want to do?
Why do you do this?
In the past few months, I have been wrapped up in the world, immersed in a kind of aimless busyness and panic, and almost lost in ignorance.
Three years later, ask the Sword Heaven Capital City.
How do you ask the method, is it to what realm of cultivation you have reached, and you can directly kill it with a sword?
If it's that simple, why don't grandfathers and Uncle Yang do it?
Is it to rise up, personally lead the army, overthrow this imperial court, and overthrow the Yang regime?
If so, is it because of his own personal vendetta that he has trapped the people in fire and water?
If that doesn't work, then it doesn't work, so what?
Whether it's a coincidence, or fate, he and his father both gave the same answer in the question bureau of asking Jianshan.
My father did it back then, raising a three-foot sword, leveling the chaos in all directions, and ending the chaos with one hand;
So where is the way out?
All the things that have happened for more than a year flashed in Yunluo's mind one by one, and finally settled on Tong Fu's head that was smashed by Qin Mingyue's slap.
"Childe is thinking about something?"
Just as Yunluo's heart gradually rose to enlightenment and came out of his mind, a voice called him back to reality.
His horse had already stopped its hooves and was grazing, and next to the horse's head was a big rock, and a woman in white was standing on the stone, watching the clouds fall.
"Qi'er?"
The clouds fell like lightning strikes.
