Song An hesitated again and again, and finally decided to send troops to Jieshan to solve the immediate hidden danger before Gusuchuan arrived.
"He ordered Taizhou, Liuzhou, and Qingzhou to each allocate 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet at the border outside Jieshan. He also ordered Hu Jun to lead his army toward the grassland and push it to the Longdun Mountain area, and to clear out all the small tribes north of Yongzhou to prevent the other side.
It is possible to enter from the northeast, and then line up the border with troops, and be ready at any time!"
Hearing Song An's instructions, Guo Jia's eyes sank. He knew that Song An was interested in the 80,000 Beimang troops at Jie Shan and wanted to capture Jie Shan before Gusu Chuan arrived.
"Yes! I'll give the order right away!" Guo Jia nodded, and then mobilized the troops from various states to join together.
Song An went north with more than 40,000 Chi Ling troops and 10,000 Luo Shui troops. It would take seven days to arrive from Gusuchuan, and it would take two days for Song An to get to the border, which meant that Song An had to arrive in five days.
Defeat the 80,000 Bei Mang troops in Jieshan within a short period of time. Otherwise, when Gusu Chuan comes with his troops, he himself will be at a disadvantage.
…
When Song An led his troops to continue heading north, Gusuchuan was heading south with his army. However, compared to Song An, Gusuchuan's march was much slower because he sent out troops suddenly and all the food, grass and baggage were temporarily prepared.
It took a lot of time, and the 300,000-strong army would be much slower on the road.
"Who is the general holding the mountain pass?"
On a gorgeous carriage of the army, Gusuchuan was wearing heavy black armor, with a centipede tattooed on his face, extending from the center of his eyebrows to the back of his head. But if you look carefully, you will find that the centipede is actually a centipede.
The huge wound was covered up with tattoos.
"Back to the general, the one guarding Jieshan now is Tuoba Hun!" outside the carriage, a soldier also wearing black armor replied.
"Tuoba Hun? I see. It seems that he is going to avenge his brother. Send an order to Tuoba Hun. We will arrive in seven days. He must guard the boundary mountain during these seven days. Remember not to
Take the initiative!" Gusuchuan said with a serious expression.
"Yes! I will do it now!"
After the black-armored soldiers left, Gusuchuan showed a ferocious smile and reached out to touch the scars on his face. He had waited for twenty years for the revenge of that year to be finally avenged.
Although he failed to kill Bai Yuanzhou with his own hands, Bai Yuanzhou would probably feel more uncomfortable if he killed Bai Yuanzhou's only grandson than if he died himself.
"Song An, I heard that you are very powerful. Don't let me down when the time comes!"
…
Imperial capital, palace hall.
"The eldest prince, Gu Suchuan is leading an army of 300,000 people to go south. Should we..." Su Chaoen's eyes flashed with light. If they were to deal with Song An from the south at this time, Song An would probably not have a good time when he was attacked from both sides.
"Ignore it for the moment. Now Bai Yuanzhou has gone deep into Nanli and helped us hold back the Nanli army. If we attack Song An at this time, who knows whether Bai Yuanzhou will suddenly send his troops northward. Then we will be the ones who are attacked from both sides. Facing Bai Yuanzhou's Shenting Army
, are you sure?" Song Hongwu's face darkened and he mentioned Bai Yuanzhou.
But what left Song Hongwu speechless was that Bai Yuanzhou was still so ferocious, did he look like he was poisoned?
If it hadn't been for An Qiao's personal intervention, he now even suspected that Bai Yuanzhou himself had released the news to confuse the public.
However, Song Hongwu was convinced that Bai Yuanzhou was really poisoned and would be able to jump around in a few days. Bai Yuanzhou must not be provoked at this time. No one knows how big a stir the God of War's dying counterattack will bring.
"Ignore Song An's side for now. Kill all those states that oppose him first. At the same time, pay attention to the movements of Song Hongwen's side. Be careful of them joining forces with Dongcang!"
"By the way, is there really no news at all from Dongcang?" Song Hongwu asked with a gloomy face. Since Ziyuan returned to Dongcang, Dongcang has almost cut off all channels with the outside world, and even he has not had any contact with it.
News from Dongcang.
"I haven't received any news from here either. Something must have happened over there in Dongcang!" Su Chaoen said.
Song Hongwu tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a while, and then said.
"Contact the people in the secret hole and ask them to find out what is going on in Dongcang. At the same time, ask Xiling to send 200,000 soldiers and horses!"
"In one month, I will capture Song Hongwen!"
…
To the east of Daqi, the richest land in the east - Jinzhou!!!
"What, the spies who infiltrated Dongcang lost contact again!"
"The Hundred Ghost Guards have lost hundreds of people, and no one can come out alive. How terrifying is Xunlong Mountain? Hu Jun has been guarding Xunlong Mountain for almost ten years. How did he do it?" The second prince Song Hongwen said.
After learning that the second batch of Hundred Ghost Guards that had infiltrated Xunlong Mountain were once again wiped out, the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Second brother, after Hu Jun withdrew, I'm afraid that the three closest to Dongcang, King Ping, King Chen, and King Qi, have completely blocked the entire mountain range. Now, trying to get to Dongcang from Xunlong Mountain is probably more difficult than climbing to the sky." Wu Wu
Princess Song Hongya explained.
"No matter what, we must open up the connection with Dongcang now. Jiang Nansheng, your Jiang family is the best at this kind of thing, so I will leave this matter to you!" Song Hongwen's face darkened and he looked at Jiang Nansheng who was standing aside without speaking.
Hearing that Song Hongwen had given him this almost impossible task, Jiang Nan was furious.
In this change of the imperial capital, the one who suffered the greatest loss was not Song An, nor Song Hongwen, nor Song Hongwu. The one who suffered the greatest loss was the Jiang family.
Not only did Song An steal more than two million gold from the Jiang family before leaving, and the world was divided into three parts, causing the Jiang family's business to suffer heavy losses, the reason why Song Hongwu couldn't free up his hands to deal with Song Hongwen now was because he was trying to accept the Jiang family as much as possible.
industry, minimizing the losses of the western states.
At the same time, he also wanted to draw some blood from the Jiang family's property, otherwise Song Hongwu, a mere commander, would not have so much money to fight the war.
It can be said that the Jiang family has been completely weakened this time.
"Jiang Nansheng, we are grasshoppers on a rope now. If you can't find the three kings of Xunlong Mountain, we will wait to be killed by Song Hongwu!" Song Hongwen snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared.
On the spot, the faces of the two Jiang family members and the fifth princess Song Hongya were not very good-looking. They never expected that things would develop like this after a simple forced marriage.
"There is no other way. It seems that we have to take action ourselves. Let's divide the people into two groups. Walk all the way from Xunlong Mountain, all the way around Xunlong Mountain from the south, and enter Dongcang from Nanli!" Jiang Nansheng no longer had the high spirits of the past, and his face suddenly turned old.
A lot.
…
Two days later, Song An successfully arrived fifty miles away from Jieshan. Yang Xian and Yuchi Gong had been waiting here for a long time. Together with the 50,000 troops brought by Song An, the same number was 80,000. They wanted to capture Jieshan.
The difficulty is considerable.
"My lord! Fifty miles from here to the mountain is Boundary Mountain."
"The general's name is Tuobahun."
"He is the biological brother of Tuoba Hong, whom my lord killed before!" Yang Xianhui reported.
