Text Chapter 309 Offering
Suddenly, there was a faint shout in my ears: "Master Hou...... Hou Ye ......"
Although the voice is muffled, it doesn't look like one person is calling, it looks like there are thousands of people calling!
Jiang Xiaobai frowned and said, "Who is calling?"
Liu Zhisheng listened attentively, and said half-loudly: "It seems to be from the other side of the river!"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "Go and have a look!" and led everyone to the riverside.
There were thousands of people standing in the valley on the opposite bank, densely packed, and the leader was Niu Xuangu, who was leading a group of people who were still shouting, and only stopped when they saw Jiang Xiaobai appear.
Jiang Xiaobai said loudly: "What is it called?"
Niu Xuangu put his hands to his lips and said, "Master Hou, what did you say about taking us across the river for supper? Now that it's dawn, it's time for breakfast, we are so hungry that our mouths are already dripping, and if we don't eat something, you won't be able to see us! It doesn't matter if we are hungry, we can't starve the emperor!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I think you are quite powerful!"
Niu Xuangu said: "This is a return to the light!"
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and muttered: "You know how to eat!" and turned his head and said, "Build a bridge!"
Everyone answered, and began to build the bridge.
Because now both sides are their own people, the bridge is extremely easy to erect, and the bridge has been built here before, the stone piles on both sides are still there, from the opposite mountain with a bow and arrow to shoot a few ropes, tied to the stone piles, and then paved with wooden planks, a simple bridge is built, Niu Xuangu led the remaining tens of millions of soldiers and horses over.
At this time, a carrier pigeon flew in the sky, with a fat body, circled a few times, and recognized Jiang Xiaobai, swooped down, and landed on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder. This is the "sniffing thousands of miles" carrier pigeon of the Golden Silk Country, which is indeed worthy of its name, smelling thousands of miles, and the army has been moving for several days, but it can also follow the smell to find it, and Jiang Xiaobai can be accurately found among tens of millions of people.
Jiang Xiaobai took the letterhead from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it, and his solemn face came alive.
Feng Yan stretched his neck and glanced at it, and said, "Young master, why are you so happy?
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Lancang Pass has been broken!"
Although it was only five words, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone was stunned. Now that the two major moats in the north and south of the Zhongxia Kingdom have been breached, it seems that the breakthrough of the capital is just around the corner, and everyone is suddenly overjoyed.
Feng Yanxi said: "I can't see that Bu Xiu is okay! I have always underestimated him." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "He's just making soy sauce, it's not because he married a lady who is both civil and military!"
Feng Yan nodded and said, "Bu Xiu has made a lot of money this time!"
Jiang Xiaobai sighed: "That's right, it is his blessing that Bu Xiu can marry such a lady!
In the capital of the Zhongxia Kingdom, Han Yiba had already learned the news that Lancang Pass had been breached, and at the same time, he received the head of Feng Qianqian. However, Feng Qianqian's head was not directly received, after all, it was sent by the enemy, no one dared to send it into the palace, but appeared in the downtown of the capital for no reason, there was a wooden box on the side of the road, at that time a few people saw it, thought it was a baby, but unfortunately there were many people in the city, no one dared to take it for themselves, so they could only open it in public, but found that there was a human head inside, and they were so frightened that everyone urinated, and hurriedly reported to the official.
The government came, but found that there was a letter in the wooden box, indicating the identity of the head, and several officials were surprised, and they didn't dare to take charge of themselves, and reported it layer by layer, and it reached Han Yiba's ears after a while.
Han Yiba calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that Lancang Pass would be breached, he thought that Changxiang Country was just bluffing, and he didn't have to worry about it, so he would demolish the east wall and make up the west wall, but he didn't expect that the west wall would collapse before the west wall was repaired, and the shock in his heart can be imagined.
Han Yiba originally wanted to suppress this matter, after all, he was on the throne for the first time, or usurping the throne, the people's hearts were unstable, for fear that the army's heart would be shaken, but after this trouble, everyone in the capital knew about it, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to.
Han Yiba was anxious and angry, but he had nothing to do, even if he had a thousand hands, it would be difficult to cover thousands of people, and he could only let it go. The most important thing at the moment is to intercept the soldiers and horses of the Changxiang Kingdom, after all, it is also 20 million soldiers and horses, since it can break through Lancang Pass, it must not be underestimated.
But if you want to intercept 20 million soldiers and horses, how can you prepare 20 million soldiers and horses, just to support the 10 million soldiers and horses on the southern front is still on the way, and hurriedly ordered, go back to intercept the Changxiang Kingdom, and then squeeze it from other places, you can always squeeze out another 20 million soldiers and horses, and block the 20 million soldiers and horses of the Changxiang Country with 30 million soldiers and horses, besides, it should not be a problem to fight locally, as long as Li Minchao can block Jiang Xiaobai, the Changxiang Country will not be a problem.
Unexpectedly, he finally squeezed out 30 million soldiers and horses like milking a cow, and just as he was about to go north, another head was found in the capital, this time it was Li Minchao's. The person who sent the head did this errand for the first time, and when he came to the capital, he didn't know how to send the head into the palace. When I was hesitating, I was eating in the restaurant but overheard someone chatting, talking about the last time I gave away the head, and suddenly my heart lit up, and I drew a scoop according to the gourd, and I also put the head in the downtown area.
This time, when the people saw the wooden box again, no one thought it was a treasure, and before it was opened, someone reported to the official.
In one day, the news of the beheading of the generalissimo Li Minchao spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and even the dust woman in the Qinglou knew that the follow-up news was still gathering in a steady stream to the capital, the more it spread, the more it was transmitted, and in the end, it was said that Qinglianghou borrowed the heavenly soldiers and generals, flew over the Fanlong River, and fell from the sky, and suddenly the city was full of wind and rain, and the wind was loud, and the civil and military officials heard that Lancang Pass was broken last time, and they were only shocked, but now they feel that the sky has fallen, and in the case of sufficient soldiers and horses, they still defend according to the danger, and they can't hold the two major moats, and now the soldiers and horses are tight, and there is no danger to defend, and how to stop the 40 million iron horses?
If it is 10,000 wounded by the enemy and 8,000 self-inflicted, the hundred officials will not panic, as long as it is slowly consumed, Jiang Xiaobai is a long-distance attack after all, and he will eventually be exhausted and killed, but according to the news that came back, tens of millions of soldiers and horses in Fanlongjiang were broken, and the enemy only killed more than 40,000 people, yes, it is more than 40,000 people, or in the case of occupying the danger, if there is no danger in the Fanlongjiang River, these tens of millions of soldiers and horses in Jiang Xiaobai's eyes, wouldn't it be possible to break it with a snap of his fingers? How can this battle be fought? Where is this war? It is clear that the soldiers were sent to the slaughterhouse! Well, the analogy of a slaughterhouse is very apt, and it takes more than 40,000 people to slaughter 10 million pigs.
Han Yiba didn't sleep all night, and when he went to court in the morning, his hair was like a frost season, and he turned half white overnight, looking haggard.
The ministers are also like frosted eggplants, unable to lift a trace of spirit, the court is like a mourning hall, all of them look compassionate, if a coffin is carried over, no matter who is inside, it is estimated that they can cry earth-shatteringly.
Han Yiba stood on the platform in front of the dragon chair and paced back and forth, and the ministers didn't dare to breathe, so they quietly watched him walk, and the entire court hall was silent, leaving only Han Yiba's small footsteps.
After a long time, Han Yiba suddenly stopped, glanced at the ministers, and said: "The battle situation on the front line, I think you know better than me, and I don't want to go into details, I ask you, is there a way to break the enemy?"
The ministers looked at each other, but no one answered.
Han Yiba said again: "But anyone dares to face Jiang Xiaobai?"
The last time Han Yiba asked this sentence, they were robbed by Li Minchao, which made them regret it, and now the opportunity was sent to them again, and they didn't know how to cherish it, and still no one answered.
Han Yiba said angrily: "Are you all scared?"
The ministers were guessed and embarrassed, and they all lowered their heads.
At this time, Han Bing stepped forward and said, "Erchen is willing to lead the troops to meet Jiang Xiaobai!"
Han Yiba snorted coldly and said, "You are not Jiang Xiaobai's opponent!"
Since Jiang Xiaobai's invasion, Han Bing blamed himself every day and couldn't sleep at night, although he didn't regret it, but he also felt shameless to face his father, especially now that he saw his father's white head overnight, his heart was even more twisted, thinking that maybe only if he died, could he be liberated!
How could Han Yiba not know his thoughts, and said angrily: "Do you think that you can make up for your sins by dying?" After all, Han Bing is his favorite son, although he has hatred in his heart, he can't bear to let him die.
Han Bing was silent.
Generalissimo Fu Bing of Lilu said at this time: "The emperor is angry, in fact, it is not that we dare not fight, but that our battle line is too long now, and we are suffering from the enemy on our backs, and we can't look forward to the back, if we don't have the certainty of victory, we will only fall into the abyss of no return, so we can only learn from the pain and think about it in the long run!"
Han Yiba looked at him and said, "I also want to think about it in the long run, but will Jiang Xiaobai wait for you to think about it in the long run?"
Fu Bing said: "The minister has a plan!"
Han Yiba said happily: "Speak quickly!"
Fu Bing said: "We can only shrink the battle line now, so as not to be broken by Jiang Xiaobai!"
Han Yi said domineeringly: "All the turtles are cowering in this capital?"
Fu Bing said: "This is just an expedient measure, if we shrink the front now, there are 30 million soldiers and horses available, there are still millions of forbidden troops in the capital, about 40 million soldiers and horses, and Jiang Xiaobai and Changxiang Country are only 40 million soldiers and horses, the capital is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Jiang Xiaobai will not be able to attack......"
Han Yiba sneered, interrupted him, and said, "Have you forgotten that Jiang Licun is a lesson from the past? At the beginning, he was exactly the same as you thought, and in the end, you also saw it, the capital is self-defeating!"
Fu Bing said: "The emperor is different from Jiang Licun, Jiang Licun is centrifugal and detached, it is difficult to support alone, there are no soldiers and horses inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, but our monarchs and ministers are of the same heart, there are enough soldiers and horses, Jiang Xiaobai will not be able to attack!"
