Chapter 395: Jingzhao Mansion shook a shot
After this sudden battle, the army under the mountain continued to move forward, while Bai Sheng waited in the Shaohua cottage for an hour.
In addition to repairing and replacing the vehicles carrying artillery, the most important purpose of his stay was to wait for news from Shi Jin.
But to his disappointment, the minions who returned from the bottom of the mountain told him that Shi Jin was probably washed away by the stream to the Yellow River downstream, and that no one was alive or dead.
In this way, Bai Sheng could only lead Zhu Wu and the others down the mountain to hurry, unlike his previous handling of the cross slope, he did not agree to Zhu Wu setting fire to the cottage.
Stay in the cottage, he may revisit the day.
Due to the restrictions of the artillery team, the army advanced at a speed of ten miles per hour, and arrived outside the city of Jingzhaofu in less than a day and night.
Just like the reaction of the Tongguan guards, when they found out that the army of Tianhu was coming, the city gate of Jingzhao Mansion had already been closed, and the city was already heavily fortified.
But he didn't know that when he got here, Bai Sheng didn't need to attack the city, he only left 10,000 soldiers to camp outside the city, and the other 10,000 soldiers and horses escorted the artillery team to turn north around the city and march in the direction of Yanzhou.
At this point, Zhao Kai, who was with Bai Sheng in the Chinese army's tent, had already regarded Bai Sheng as a mortal enemy.
Just looking at Bai Sheng's situation of dispatching troops, you can know that he must be rebelling against the Great Song Dynasty, but he seems to be a little overwhelmed.
So he sneered: "Do more than 10,000 soldiers and horses want to take Yanzhou? If this can also work, Yanzhou has long been in Western Xia, and it is still left for you to fight? I really don't know what kind of dream you are having!"
Bai Sheng's ridicule of his brother-in-law was unheard, and there was no way to explain it unless all the strategies he had discussed with Di Lie were exposed.
He ignored Zhao Kai, but Zhao Kai refused to shut up, and said: "The military rations looted from Hangu Pass are only for two days, do you think you can take this city by surrounding Jingzhao Mansion for two days?"
Seeing that Bai Sheng still refused to refute, he changed his previous ridicule to a serious tone: "How can my Great Song Dynasty treat you badly? Why do you have to do such a disobedient thing? Doesn't your father treat you well? Doesn't Taishi Cai treat you well? I advise you to go back and know your way, it's ......still too late to turn back now."
Since it is useless to threaten it and understand it to reason, I have to move it with emotion:
"This king doesn't think that your relationship with Emperor Maode is deceitful and perfunctory, you are not that kind of person, even if you are tempted by a beauty like Qiong Ying? You can have three wives and four concubines, you will take refuge in Tian Hu for Qiong Ying, is it unfair to the royal sister of this king?"
Bai Sheng smiled and listened to his brother-in-law doing ideological work for himself, and suddenly felt that he looked like Tang Seng.
At this moment, someone outside the tent reported that General Lolida and General Shui Ningzhu had returned from Weizhou, and Bai Sheng hurriedly went out to pick them up.
Zhao Kai stood in the tent and didn't go out, his despair was full of his chest, there were too many beauties around Bai Sheng, and he couldn't pull him back with just Sister Fujin.
He knew that no matter whether Bai Sheng and the Song Dynasty succeeded or failed, he, the King of Yun, would inevitably die.
If Bai Sheng is defeated, he will be taken hostage, and if Bai Sheng wins, he will have to sacrifice his flag if he is the first one.
How could Bai Sheng care about what his brother-in-law was thinking, came out and saw the carrier pigeon in Shui Ningzhu's hand, knowing that the plan could go smoothly, and praised the two beauties.
The two daughters of Luoshui hurriedly humbled, and after they came out of Tongguan, they quickly bypassed Jingzhao Mansion and went to Weizhou, met with Huangfuduan, who had already arrived in Weizhou, learned how to take care of the carrier pigeon intercepted outside Mengzhou, and then hurried back without half a minute of delay.
When Bai Sheng was talking with the second daughter, another personal soldier from the Mangdang Mountain family came to report that there was a knight outside the camp who wanted to find Lorida or Shui Ningzhu, Bai Sheng was even more happy, and hurriedly ordered people to be let in.
The person who came was the golden retriever Duan Jingzhu, leading the jade lion who was wearing a "dress".
Duan Jingzhu couldn't recognize Bai Sheng dressed as Toutuo for a while, and only saluted the second daughter of Luoshui, saying that the task had been completed.
Bai Sheng asked, "Where is that thing?"
Duan Jingzhu knew that Toutuo was Bai Sheng, and hurriedly pointed to the sky, and everyone in the field looked at the sky along his fingers, but only saw the blue sky and white clouds, and there was nothing.
Only Bai Sheng, who had extremely sharp eyes, saw a black dot moving slowly in the sky, and couldn't help but admire: "Good! good!"
The black dot was none other than Hai Dongqing, who had the title of "God of Ten Thousand Eagles"! It is known as the highest and fastest bird in the world.
The Jurchens are experts in trapping Hai Dongqing and being able to nurture them, and in turn Hai Dongqing is the highest totem of the Jurchen people.
Bai Sheng once discussed with Di Lie the way of information transmission in the Yipintang of Western Xia, and learned from Di Lie that the Xixia people used carrier pigeons to transmit information, so he studied ways to sabotage the transmission of information in Western Xia.
At that time, Di Lie said that it would be nice if there could be a Haidongqing.
This Haidongqing is the best at hunting other birds in the air, and is known as the overlord of the air. The Liao people asked the Jurchens for Haidongqing to hunt swans all the year round, and the initial provocation between Liao and Jin was from Haidongqing.
Bai Sheng immediately came up with the idea of finding Wanyan Wulu to borrow a Hai Dongqing, as long as there was a Hai Dongqing soaring in the sky, how many carrier pigeons in Western Xia died, and none of them could escape.
So he sent Duan Jingzhu to Liaodong to find Wanyan Wulu.
Duan Jingzhu has traveled in Qingtang, Hengshan, Liao and Jurchen all the year round, and is most familiar with some remote shortcuts to selling horses, so it is most appropriate for him to do this, because he can avoid being checked and intercepted on the road.
And when he entered the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, it was not a problem to ask to see Yan Wulu, because even though the Jin people didn't know him Duan Jingzhu, they knew the Jade Lion of the Night.
As a precaution, Bai Sheng also brought him a handwritten letter, although the calligraphy was extremely bad, but he felt that the Jurchens did not care about this, after all, there were few Jurchens who knew Chinese characters.
After taking all the Luoshui two daughters and Duan Jingzhu, Bai Sheng ordered all the camps to be pulled out and marched to Yanzhou together, leaving not a single soldier in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
This confused the civil and military generals of Jingzhao Mansion, did these thousands of Tianhu troops come here to play?
How could the more than 20,000 infantry be able to defeat Yanzhou? Or did they send food to the planters who were guarding Yanzhou?
The people of Jingzhao Mansion couldn't figure it out, and Zhao Kai in Bai Shengjun's army couldn't figure it out either.
Four days later, Bai Sheng's army approached the city of Yanzhou, and it was only at this time that Bai Sheng explained some truths to Zhao Kai.
Even though more than 20,000 "Tianhu troops" could camp outside the city, Bai Sheng had to enter the city.
Because he needs the cooperation and support of the old seed master of Yanzhou, at least two days' worth of food can be provided.
