Chapter 281: 300,000 Army

The three-day period has passed, and in the early morning of this day, Yu Qingwu left the house early. Yet he was early, and there were others who were earlier than him. There were already more than 100 people gathered outside the palace, most of them were young and beautiful women, and there were also a small number of young masters.

Although Yu Qingwu has already worshiped Sima and can be regarded as a powerful man, he is still as in the past, as long as he has time, he will invite the sons and ladies of the imperial capital to sing and dance in the palace, and play hip-hop games. He was young and handsome, talented and capable, and he was valued by His Majesty, so he naturally won the favor of many girls, and some of the children of the official eunuchs also stammered him, so on the day of his expedition, everyone spontaneously came to see him off.

"This trip has been a long journey, may Your Highness be well!"

"I hope that His Highness will return to the court in triumph as soon as possible, and on the day of his return, we will definitely wash the dust for His Highness!"

"Your Highness...... Take care!"

Everyone said goodbye one after another, and many women choked up with mist in their eyes. Fighting a war and guarding the border pass are not the same concept at all, the former will return naturally as long as he wins, while the latter does not have a fixed period at all, which means that it is possible that Yu Qingwu will have to stay in the vast desert for the rest of his life.

"Your Majesty and the Grand Master are still waiting outside the city, and this king will not say goodbye to you one by one. Yu Qingwu waved his hand, rode on Xiaohong's back, and waved to everyone: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, everyone take care!"

When the words fell, Xiaohong spread her feet and ran towards Beicheng. Within half an hour, Yu Qingwu arrived at the north city gate. At the city gate, Jin Buchou and Ji Chenggang had been waiting for a long time, Yu Qingwu turned over and went to the ground, hugged the two and didn't speak, because there was no need to say anything at all.

When he went out of the city gate again, a team of guards outside the city was heavily protected, and Xia Luqi, who was wearing an imperial uniform, was particularly eye-catching. He rode in the same chariot with Yu Tao, and when he saw Yu Qingwu leaving the city, he immediately got out of the chariot to meet him.

"Xiao Wang has seen Your Majesty and Taishi!" Yu Qingwu bowed and saluted, Xia Luqi hurriedly got out of the car and helped him up, and said: "King Fuyao has traveled thousands of miles, take care of everything!"

"For the matter of the border, His Highness Lao is here. Yu Tao got out of the car with the support of two guards, and said in front of Yu Qingwu: "Three days ago, the old man sent a message to General Mingxu, the general of the northern border, saying that His Royal Highness is temporarily in charge of the 100,000 army in the north, and his Royal Highness can directly identify himself after he goes down." ”

Today's Yu Tao looks good, and he doesn't have much out of breath after saying so many words in a row.

Yu Qingwu nodded, and was about to say something, when a sound of horses' hooves came loudly. A few people turned around, only to see a middle-aged man dressed in a Liuyu official uniform galloping on a high-headed horse. This person is one of the young masters of Jiuqing, named Xiahou, and is a member of the Great Xia royal family.

The military commander is the highest Taishi, followed by Sima, and then the young master. The young master is not only the deputy of the Taishi, but also in charge of intelligence, exchanging information with various places through the Xuanguang Mirror or transmitting notes. Due to the importance of this position, the young master generally rarely goes to the court, and basically sits in the intelligence department, and sends people to send the information as soon as there is any information. Today, Young Master Xiahou ran out of the city in such a hurry, I am afraid that something big has happened.

Boom!

Xia Hou rolled over from the fast horse that was running, knelt directly on the ground after landing, and said to Xia Luqi with his fists in his fists: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, and the border is urgent!"

As soon as he heard that it was an emergency at the border pass, Yu Tao rushed to ask before Xia Luqi: "Where is the emergency, what happened?"

"Master Yu, it's the border pass of Jizhou in the north!" Xiahou took a deep breath, organized the words in his heart, and then said: "According to the report of the king of Jizhou and the general of the northern border, General Ming Xu, last night the dog Rong and the ghost side gathered an army of 300,000 and attacked the border pass at night. General Mingxu led the army to resist the enemy bravely, but because the battle was too hasty, the unprepared 100,000 troops suffered more than 80,000 casualties, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers will retreat to Jizhou and join the Jizhou army, still losing and retreating. From last night to this morning, the northern territory has fallen to three cities one after another, and it has lost nearly two hundred miles of territory!"

"In just one night, you lost three cities and two hundred miles of territory?" Xia Luqi's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief. But if you think about it, the northern border is an endless grassland, and the army is driving straight in, and the speed of the march is extremely fast. The border guards and the Jizhou defenders suddenly encountered 300,000 enemy troops without the slightest defense, and it was no wonder that they were defeated and retreated.

Over there, the person who heard the military situation had already froze, and when Xia Luqi finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fell down with a cry of sorrow, if it weren't for the two guards beside him who quickly helped him in time, he would have to touch his head to the ground.

Yu Qingwu sighed, he hated the two guards in his heart, if the two of them didn't catch Yu Tao, with Yu Tao's current old body, if he touched the ground with his head, I am afraid it would be almost the same, and he would have to find ways to let him die early.

But in any case, the goal was achieved. The sudden alliance between Dog Rong and Ghost Fang was exactly what he instructed Yi Yin to do, in order to transfer Yu Tao away from the imperial capital. At this time, it is already early winter, and it is already cold and freezing in the north, and it is difficult for the approaching Yantao to go to the north with a harsh climate at this time.

"Hurry up and help the Taishi to return to the palace, please ask the imperial doctor!" Seeing that Yan Tao was so angry that he fainted, Xia Luqi hurriedly ordered someone to carry him back to the palace, and then said to Yu Qingwu: "The matter of the Northern Expedition, wait for the Taishi to wake up and then discuss!"

After the words fell, the group returned to the palace in a mighty manner.

......

This coma is three days, in the three days, there is no bad news in the north, because of the heavy snow in the north these days, the snow is enough for no one's knees, this thick snow is not suitable for marching and fighting at all, so whether it is the alliance army of Dog Rong and the ghost side or the defenders of Jizhou, there is no further confrontation. Both sides are waiting for next spring, when the snow melts.

As soon as he heard the news that Jizhou had fallen to three cities in a row, Ji Chenggang immediately ran to the palace, and he was relieved after learning from Yu Qingwu that the Dog Rong Ghost Fang had not continued to invade south. Despite this, he resigned from Yu Qingwu as the commander of the Blackwood Army and returned to Jizhou. His father, King Ji Xie, was old and invaded by foreign enemies, and he was a son of man who wanted to go back no matter what.

Three days later, he woke up. The first thing he did after waking up was to order Huang Lin, the chief soldier of the pilgrimage pass, to order the 100,000 army to go to the imperial capital to wait, and then he asked Xia Luqi for his life, and personally led the 100,000 army of the pilgrimage pass, plus his original 200,000 army, to go straight to the north.

Anyone with a little brain knows that this time the old lady is really angry, and he actually dispatched the defenders of the pilgrimage pass! His 300,000 troops here, plus nearly 200,000 Jizhou troops, this clearly intends to destroy the dog Rong and the ghost party in one fell swoop!

As soon as he heard the call of Yu Tao, he had been left out in the cold for more than ten years, and Huang Lin, who had already been grinding his fists, was excited. Far from having the slightest hatred for the Dog Rong and the Ghost Fang, he was full of gratitude, if it weren't for the sudden joint southern invasion of the Dog Rong and the Ghost Fang this time, how could he be reused? He immediately ordered 100,000 of the most elite troops, and in less than two days, they rushed to the outside of the city.

When Huang Lin and 100,000 troops arrived, Yu Tao did not hesitate for a moment, ignoring Xia Luqi's admonition, and dragged his sick body to gather an army of 300,000 people, among which there was also the strongest army in the world-the Griffin Army! In this northern expedition, he still did not forget his original intention to bring Yu Qingwu, but Xia Luqi had no opinion on this, because he thought that this northern expedition would be beneficial to Yu Qingwu.

He has no opinion on letting Yu Qingwu go out with the army, but he has a lot of complaints about letting Huang Lin also go north. When he returned to the dynasty to succeed the emperor, he was ambushed by unknown forces outside the pilgrimage pass, although he didn't know who did it, but he always thought that this matter was inseparable from Huang Lin, even if it was not done by Huang Lin, at least Huang Lin was not able to protect him, if it wasn't for Yu Qingwu even if he appeared, he might not have survived to succeed the emperor. From that time on, he was dissatisfied with Huang Lin, so for more than ten years, he never appointed Huang Lin, but only put it on pilgrimage pass.

You must know that if it weren't for that incident back then, with Huang Lin's talent, Sima's position would not be Qiu En's, let alone Yu Qingwu's.

Yu Tao also knew that Xia Luqi was dissatisfied with Huang Lin, but just like Xia Luqi was dissatisfied with Huang Lin, he was also dissatisfied with Yu Qingwu, and he could even be said to be suspicious, thinking that Daxia would be in this situation now, and it was indispensable to have something to do with Yu Qingwu, but he didn't find any substantive evidence. It was out of this kind of thinking that he would take Yu Qingwu on a northern expedition, hoping that after kicking Yu Qingwu out of the imperial capital, Xia Luqi would be able to return to his previous appearance.

He didn't dare to expect Xia Luqi to become the Holy Lord, he only hoped that Xia Luqi would not become a faint monarch, as long as he was not a faint monarch, he believed that Great Xia would not fall!

The war involved a wide range of things, the most important of which was grain and grass. Now that the treasury is empty, there is not so much grain and grass to supply the 300,000 army to fight a protracted war, but fortunately, the Jin family, the Yu family and other chambers of commerce spontaneously donated, and in just half a month, they raised enough grain and grass to support the 300,000 army for more than a month. The problem of grain and grass was temporarily solved, and Yu Tao immediately led an army of 300,000 to the north. Before leaving, he told Xia Luqi to listen to the opinions of Huaijian and Zhonggu in everything, and even dismissed the servants in the Taishi's mansion, as if he knew that no matter whether he won or lost this battle, he would not be able to come back alive.

Huaijian, Zhonggu and others spontaneously sent each other for dozens of miles, and they did not send each other again until they urged them to go back. They all knew in their hearts that the old lady, who had a short lifespan, rushed to the north when it was freezing on this day, and they were afraid that they would die in the north. This battle has not yet begun, in fact, Great Xia has already lost, because it will not be long before Great Xia will lose a pillar that has won all battles and carried everything.

The male old armor is bright and snowy, and the young man is undefeated for thousands of years, and he doesn't teach Hu Lu to eat my meat, and his battle bones are buried shallow next to Yin Mountain......
