Zhao Yinian was annoyed when he heard this: "It's not left, it's not right, so what do you say?"
Fan Li turned to Bai Feiyu, who had never spoken, and said, "I don't know if the white horse has any suggestions for this?"
Bai Feiyu looked at the people present: "I agree with Shaoning's statement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoMaybe we will lose a war because of the division of troops, but we have not lost our conscience. I don't think you want to have a regret that always lingers in your heart in the future, and once you think about it, it makes people feel ashamed. In that case, what's the fun of being alive?"
Bai Feiyu said this very seriously, and everyone was moved when they heard it, but they didn't know that what Bai Feiyu was thinking about at this time was his wife Yuwen Huizhu. For the sake of temporary glory and wealth, Bai Feiyu has been burdened with a love debt for half his life, if he can choose again, he would rather be lonely for the rest of his life than leave his wife again!
Fan Li heard it and praised: "Bai Juma is a civil official, he still has such an opinion, and the surname Fan has nothing to say, so according to the words of Brother Zhao and Sun Daxia, he immediately sent troops to aid the northwest front." ”
Sun Shaoyang said: "Things may not be as bad as expected. I have been in Mobei for a long time and have made a group of brothers, who also have armies in their hands and have a certain deterrent to the countries of the Western Regions. I will lead the army to the northwest, hoping to borrow the influence of those brothers, plus our army, to defeat the invasion of the Western Regions coalition without a fight. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Sun Shaoyang was previously helped by Zhao Yinian's troops, so he turned around to help Zhao Yinian fight back to Taiyuan. His cleverness lies in the fact that he did not unite with the Mobei army, and marched into Shanxi like the Guanwai coalition army in Menghao Mountain. Although Sun Shaoyang has lived in Mobei for a long time, because he himself is a native of the Central Plains, he will not attract the opposition of the people of Shanxi.
At this moment, Sun Shaoyang is willing to go to the Northwest Front and use his multiple identities to exert influence, which will indeed make the Western Regions Alliance have certain scruples. As long as they can find a way to win one or two more battles and defeat the opponent in front of the Jade Gate, it will not be difficult for the Western Regions Alliance to have the idea of retreating.
Everyone made up their minds, and just about to allocate men and horses, Wei Chen, who was also in the hall, suddenly got up and came to Shengyue and Chai Shaoning to hug his fists and said: "Princess, concubine, I, Wei Chen, should protect the two of them and fight back to Sichuan, and avenge the prince and the generals who died on the battlefield." But if I stay, and the people and horses of Sichuan replace the people of Shanxi who went to the northwest to stay in Taiyuan, I will definitely not be as familiar with everything here as the locals, and the combat effectiveness will be weakened accordingly. Therefore, it is better for my 50,000 horses to go to the northwest with Sun Daxia, but I don't know what the princess and the concubine want?"
Sheng Yue saw Chai Shaoning turn her head to look at her, so she smiled and said, "Marry your husband, Chai Lang, Yue'er will listen to you for everything." ”
When Chai Shaoning heard what Sheng Yue said, he immediately got up and shook Wei Chen's hand and said, "General Wei is the first soldier, how can I, Chai Shaoning, stay in trouble? I believe that General Wei and Sun Daxia will definitely win and succeed when they go to the northwest." Perhaps on the day of your triumphant division, the day when we will recover central Sichuan and start an all-out war with Tong Kaixian has just begun. As the main force in Sichuan, the burden on General Wei's shoulders is not light!"
Zhao Yinian also laughed when he heard this: "Brother Wei is really good, the surname Zhao will be the icing on the cake, and then allocate 50,000 horses and horses to Sun Daxia to command, Lao Fan, you say it's good?"
Fan Li waved his hand and smiled: "Don't ask me, you guy who betrays your brothers, is it really so selfish for me Fan Li?"
The crowd burst into laughter again. At that moment, Zhao Yinian took Sun Shaoyang and Wei Chen to the post house to meet the messenger sent by Lu Zhengchao. Fan Li went to the barracks and ordered 50,000 horses, joined Wei Chen's army, and set up another camp outside the city, ready to set off at any time. Bai Feiyu was responsible for the allocation of grain and grass materials.
Three days later, everything was ready. Zhao Yinian, Fan Li, and Bai Feiyu took Chai Shaoning and others to send Sun Shaoyang, Wei Chen, and Lu Zhengchao's envoys out of the city.
Arriving at the military camp outside the city, the men and horses had already been assembled, and three cannons rang out, and they drove towards the northwest front.
Although the road had to pass through the territory occupied by the king of Hainan, because the army of the king of Hainan was gathering in Luoyang, Sichuanzhong, and the front line of the war with the king of Fujian in the east, Sun Shaoyang's army could meet a small number of defenders in the local prefectures and counties, and those people did not dare to embarrass this army.
Seeing off Sun Shaoyang and Wei Chen's army, everyone received a battle report from the front as soon as they returned to the mansion. Yao Zhiyuan had completely pacified the remnants of the counties in central Sichuan, and the army began to turn around and head north, heading in the direction of Fenglingdu!
————
It rained heavily for a day and a night, but it had no intention of stopping.
Listening to the thunderous rumbling roar in the distance, the vigilant hearts of Chai Shaoning and Song Yuanlan, who were standing far away outside the reeds by the Yellow River, gradually relaxed.
When the Yellow River reaches the lower reaches of Fenglingdu, although the river surface has become wide, it is still turbulent, and it is covered with a large amount of sediment, churning and turbulent like magma. Even boatmen who grew up on the banks of the Yellow River did not dare to swim in such a treacherous river. Therefore, the Shanxi army guarding the north bank of the Yellow River was not afraid that the enemy would dive and smuggle in, and turned to monitor the boats on the river.
On this vast river, which is ten miles wide, enemy ships cannot hide at all.
The so-called attack on Luoyang by the army of Hechuan was actually just an illusion. The soldiers and horses of Shanxi did not have the strength to cross the river to the south, and the army of Shi Rui and Yao Zhiyuan was pinned down by the men and horses in Sichuan, and they also had no time to go north, and the two sides formed a stalemate across the river. Therefore, Zhao Yinian, Fan Li, Sun Shaoyang and others left the 50,000 horses of the two generals He and Xie to guard the river, and they returned to Taiyuan to take into account the situation in the east and west.
However, now the situation has changed abruptly, Hebei has fallen into the hands of the coalition forces outside the Guan, and the officials of the counties in Guanzhong have once again thrown themselves to the side of the king of Hainan.
Although Yao Zhiyuan was successively subjected to the desperate resistance of Zhou Zhiming, Wang Ke and others on the battlefield in central Sichuan, with more than 100,000 casualties, Prince Yulong surrendered with 200,000 remnants of the remnants who retreated from central Sichuan to Chengdu, so that Yao Zhiyuan's army not only made up for the previous losses, but also increased by 100,000 horses, reaching 500,000 people.
In order to prevent Yao Zhiyuan's men and horses from crossing the river, Zhao Yinian did his best to recruit 100,000 new horses, leaving Bai Feiyu and Fan Li to guard an empty city in Taiyuan to continue recruiting troops and horses, and he took Sima Long, Ouyang Qian, Xiao Ting, Chai Shaoning, Song Yuanlan, Shen Rong, and Chu Jiying to the north bank of the Yellow River.
As for Xue Nianci, Shangguan Rou, Fan Zhicheng, and Zhao Sainan, they left Bai Feiyu and Fan Li to defend the city, in case the enemy took advantage of the situation and used assassination techniques to disturb people's hearts.
Countless horses' hooves came from the rain, and Chu Jiying and Shen Rong led another group of men and horses patrolling the river to come closer.
The enemy had assembled men and horses at various crossings within a few hundred miles of the crossing from Fenglingdu to Maojindu on the opposite bank, but Zhao Yinian could not send a sentry to cross the river to investigate the enemy's main movements, so it was impossible to determine which section of the river mouth Yao Zhiyuan would choose as the assault site? This forced Zhao Yinian to divide his limited men and horses into two teams and guard the line near Fenglingdu and Maojindu respectively.
Chai Shaoning has become one of the main generals of Fenglingdu, helping He Runyu to guard the river together, and in normal times, he and Chu Jiying and others lead people to go out to patrol and guard along the river.
"Brother Chai, the water news of the Yellow River caused by heavy rain has overflowed from the upstream, in this situation of the river water soaring, Yao Zhiyuan will never dare to risk crossing the river, we can go back and sleep well!"
Hearing the voice, Chai Shaoning turned his head to look at Chu Jiying.
At the end of September, it was the late autumn season, and the weather in the rainstorm was extremely cold, and although the girl was wearing a coat and hat, her accent was still a little shivering.
Beside Chu Jiying, Shen Rong, who was also in the same attire, silently followed his heart with a steel claw on his back.
Shen Rong and Chu Jiying have been by Sheng Yue's side for a long time, and they have been taught by Sheng Yue the stunts of the Soul Hook Sword and the Revenant Soul Claw, and their martial arts have long surpassed the past. It's just that Shen Rong's original skill was low, and he changed his sword to learn claws, but he was never able to control the power of the chained flying claws well, and could only hold the claw handle like the original Shengjiang Venerable. Fortunately, after arriving at Taiyuan Mansion, Sun Shaoyang tied a piece of heavenly spider rope obtained from the Western Regions to Shen Rong's steel claw instead of an iron chain.
That Heavenly Spider Rope was as light as nothing, but it was not afraid of sharp blades, which suddenly gave Shen Rong the ability to fly claws at critical moments, and his confidence increased exponentially, and with Chu Jiying's claws and swords, it was far beyond what ordinary martial arts masters could handle.
"Okay, let's go back!" Chai Shaoning had already regarded Chu Jiying as his sister in his heart, and glanced at the body that was trembling in the cold wind and rain distressedly, and was about to get off the horse and return to the camp.
At this moment, Song Yuanlan suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to the river and said, "Look, there is a boat!"
The crowd was taken aback. Who would dare to venture across the river at such a critical moment when the news flow is imminent?
Chai Shaoning looked up in the direction of Song Yuanlan's fingers, and saw a boat appearing on the river in the rain, the hull was not big, just a common fishing boat.
For fear of being blown over by the strong wind, the sailors did not even dare to open their sails, and desperately stabilized the hull with pulp, and on the Yellow River in front of the news, they were almost thrown by the rapids, and plunged into the reeds on the shore, and then became entangled in the reeds, and could no longer move there.
As the rumbling roar drew nearer and more deafening, a white line could already be seen slicing down the upstream like a fluttering bolt of lightning, and with a moment's delay, the earth-shattering waves would clap the ship into powder and bury the people on board.
The man on the boat also knew that life and death were only in the blink of an eye, and as soon as the boat fell into the reeds, he jumped into the river and swam desperately forward along the river between the reeds. But at his exhausted speed, how could he be faster than the rapids, which were as fast as a galloping horse?
When everyone saw an exclamation, Chai Shaoning jumped up from his horse with a "whew", and flew out like a meteor on the tip of the reed, rushing straight to the people in the river.
