The young master must send the latest battle report to the city walls across the country, telling the people that Xiangshi Kingdom will take advantage of the crisis and lead a large army to attack. More importantly, he must send other news to Xiangshi Kingdom. Not only should the people of Xiangshi Kingdom be informed,
They knew that their king had led a large army to invade the Bashi Kingdom, and had been defeated and captured. The young minister had raised a large number of troops to take over the city walls of the Xiangshi Kingdom and was pacifying the people everywhere.
These are obviously not true, and the purpose is to shake the morale of the military and people of Xiangshi Kingdom. Many rock pigeons flew out from Jinsha City, all heading north, towards the direction of Xiangshi Kingdom. Since Xiangqiong can send people in Ba
Of course, the imperial concubines and junior ministers can also do the same thing if they lurk in the country. Both countries have been planning for many years.
Houlin had already sent people with various identities to sneak into the city walls of Xiangshi Kingdom, and trained rock pigeons there. This spring, he sent these rock pigeons to Jinsha City through various methods. Once they were released in Jinsha City,
, these rock pigeons will carry the news back to their nests in the city walls of Xiangshi Kingdom.
There are no strips of cloth tied on the legs of these rock pigeons, but the feathers are dyed with a little red mark that cannot be washed away. They are sending a signal. What the lurkers preached in Xiangshi Middle School is what the Shaowu had already told in advance.
.The young minister must hurry up and spread the news he wants to spread before the Xiangshi Kingdom's collectors arrive at the city walls and deliver the latest battle reports.
Although the young minister has not officially marched, the intelligence war has already begun. Next, the monarch made another decision to hold a temporary national memorial ceremony in Jinsha City to commemorate the soldiers who died while guarding the borders and city walls;
This is also a swearing-in ceremony, inspiring the determination of the assembled army to fight bravely.
The subordinates went to arrange the national sacrifice for the next day, and only Lord Cangzheng, Hong Kui, was left by the young minister. Hong Kui asked in a low voice: "The lord has already anticipated that Xiang Qiong will launch an army. Why do you look worried?"
?”
The Shaowu frowned and said: "I still underestimated Xiangqiong. It was inevitable that he wanted to disrupt the peace talks between me and Zheng Shiguo. But the whole country's troops were mobilized to break through the defenses, and the speed was so fast, which was beyond my previous expectations!
I was originally worried that Xiangqiong would not do what I expected. But when my father was still alive, he said that Xiangqiong would definitely do what he did today, and Meng Yingqiu’s Mingsha Sect Master also said that Xiangqiong would definitely raise an army. But his army
When it comes to actually crossing the border, I hope he can come more slowly."
Lord Hongkui: "This not only shows that Xiangqiong is very good at seizing opportunities and has been prepared for war, but it also shows that he is too arrogant and underestimates the enemy. Since the monarch has already made arrangements, why are you still worried?"
Shao Wu: "Although we had tried our best to evacuate people and food supplies from Wangqiu, Pinggu, and Yeliang cities in advance, we also ordered each city to immediately notify the people who could not evacuate within the territory to go into the mountains and fields to avoid the war after receiving the war report. However,
The soldiers guarding the border and the city walls cannot help but fight to stop the enemy. They will be defeated at the hands of Xiangqiu, and many people along the way will be threatened by Xiangqiu's army. Every time I think of this, I feel uneasy. "
Hong Kui: "This is all done by Xiangqiu who raised his troops. Our best response is to defeat Xiangshi's country in the future and capture Xiangqiu alive to punish his crime. Xiangqiu has already mobilized his troops, so it is not too late. What do you plan to do?
Starting the army on the same day?”
Shao Wu: "Lord Peng Keng and General Pan Yuan have not arrived yet, so I said Xiangqiong sent troops too quickly."
Hong Kui: "But my lord can't waste the opportunity to fight. He can't stand still and just wait for them."
Shao Wu: "I have already sent people to spread the news in Xiangshi Kingdom. It will take time for the news to spread across the city walls. I decided to march in five days and wait for them in Jinsha City for five days!"
Hong Kui: "Your Majesty has ordered me to be in charge of logistics in Jinsha City. If Lord Peng Keng and General Pan Yuan do not arrive within five days, when I see them, I will immediately convey your order to your Majesty and ask them to catch up with them quickly."
you."
He is as smart as a Shaowu. He cannot anticipate all situations in advance. For example, Xiangqiong dispatches troops so quickly that he did not expect. Taking Huwa with him was originally a very important part of the Shaowu's strategic plan.
, but now that the national war has begun, he must take action regardless of whether there is a tiger baby or not.
Fortunately, Huwa did not disappoint the young officer. On the fifth day after the young officer received the battle report, he rushed to Jinsha City with Panhu, Tengjin, and Tenghua. He learned that senior Cangjie had stopped Yan Yan who was conveying military information.
Ge Ge left his mind to greet him and Panhu. Hu Wa was also surprised and did not know where this senior master was traveling in Ba Yuan now.
The young minister told Huwa that when he unified Bayuan in the future, he would immediately restore the academy and organize the people in the country to learn the Chinese characters created by Mr. Cangjie. The monarch's statement was actually an indirect show of goodwill to Cangsha.
As for now, this is not the time to teach writing on a large scale. Writing is also used to convey top-secret military information!
…
In the early autumn of this year, General Wei Mang of the Shaowu Service sent heavy troops to gather in the southern border; the two generals of Zhendong and Zhenxi led the original border guard formations to station at the borders of Fanshi and Silu respectively to prevent unexpected changes.
He left three masters, Fuzheng, Bingzheng and Gongzheng, to supervise the country in the capital. He sent Li Zhaozheng as an envoy to Zheng Shiguo. He ordered Cangzheng Hongkui to sit in Jinsha City as a base for the march. He himself led the army to break through.
After guarding the border, we entered the Kingdom of Xiangshi.
The border between Xiangshi Kingdom and Jinsha City is Baiju City. When Yan Zhao entered Ba Yuan more than five hundred years ago, he rested in Feihong City and then passed through here to where Ba Du City was located. At that time, some barbarian tribesmen saw him riding a boat.
A carriage drawn by two white horses without any color, later the city outline here was named after it.
When Shaowu marched into the army, according to the legend of his ancestors, he also rode in a chariot pulled by two white horses without any mottled colors.
Xiangqiong mobilized the entire army to defeat Wangqiu City, but the customs defense formation in Baiju City was not transferred away. Instead, six garrison formations were deployed from Guxiong City and Feihong City in the rear to strengthen the border defense.
However, this kind of defense force was not enough to withstand Shaowu's army. The battle to break through the border took only one day. It was General Panyuan who led the army and was the first to cross the border.
The soldiers in Baiju City don't have much fighting spirit. They already know that the monarch has raised troops, but the battlefield is not here. A few days ago, news came that the Xiangshi Kingdom's army was destroyed, and the monarch himself was captured. I don't know whether this news is true or not.
Everyone was talking about it. If it was true, it meant that the Bashi Kingdom's army would enter the Xiangshi Kingdom. At this moment, the army entered the country.
I'm afraid Xiangqiong didn't expect that Shaowu had already prepared, so far away from the main battlefield and the capital, he gathered heavy troops to attack Baiju City. Once the border was broken, Shaowu took Baiju City in only three days.
, but then the matter of appeasing the people and taking over the city defense is more complicated.
The young minister confiscated the ordnance of the border garrison and the city garrison, occupied the warehouse and arsenal of the city, and then sent two reserve army formations to garrison the city, and ordered people to appease the people in the villages. The army did not stop.
Continuing north, we entered the jurisdiction of Guxiong City. There were originally four garrison formations in Guxiong City, three of which have been transferred to the border gate of Baiju City.
When Shaowu's army attacked, the lord of Guxiong City, who had no intention of a decisive battle, directly opened the city and surrendered. The vanguard army led by Panhu successfully occupied the city, and Shaowu then entered the city. Although Shaowu claimed to have personally
He led the troops, but as a king, he could not directly charge on the battlefield. On the way from the border crossing to Baiju City to Guxiong City, he rode on a chariot pulled by a white horse.
The car had no hood, and the young man did not disperse the people along the way. Many people saw him. The man traveling with the young man in the car was the "little gentleman" Peng Keng.
After the army captured Guxiong City, envoys from the Shaowu Sect brought generous gifts and visited Guxiongchuan located in the west of the city. Guxiongchuan is a cultivating sect, although it cannot be compared with the great inheritance sects such as Wufuqiu and Meng Yingqiu.
But it should not be underestimated, at least it is comparable to Liangfengding in Bashi Kingdom. Even Guxiong City was named after the location of this sect.
Most of the disciples of Guxiongchuan come from the city walls near Xiangshi Kingdom, but there are also monks from Bashi Kingdom and Fanshi Kingdom. Their leader, Mr. Gu Ling, is a master of the six realms, and everyone from the king to the common people is quite fond of him.
Respect. The female Mr. Xinlan, a five-level national worker who lives in Feihong City, is Mr. Gu Ling’s disciple.
Shaowu led the army to occupy Baiju City and Guxiong City successively, but the real fierce fighting only occurred at the border pass. There was no big battle when the city was broken. Especially when entering Guxiong City, it was almost without a fight. What's more interesting is that Guxiong
Many high-status people in the city packed up their belongings and ran to the Guxiongchuan Dojo to avoid the war.
Even during the melee in Bayuan a hundred years ago, large armies would not harass places like the Ancient Xiongchuan Dojo. Instead, they were important targets of comfort.
After Shaowu captured the city wall, he only ordered the garrison to disarm and sent another Bashi Kingdom army to garrison. He did not engage in any plundering. He sent people to appease the people in the villages and declared that he marched only to combat the injustice of Xiangqiu.
He also regarded the people of Xiangshi Kingdom as his own subjects. As for those who fled to Guxiongchuan to avoid disaster, the young minister did not touch their clan and family assets. Instead, he sent envoys to tell them not to panic, even if they returned
Just live in peace in the city.
The Shaowu envoy sent a generous gift to Mr. Gu Ling to express his respect. It was in the name of Wufqiu disciples greeting their fellow practitioners. Mr. Gu Ling accepted the gift and just sent someone to reply - I hope Bajun will not commit murderous crimes and will not disturb him.
Mr. Gu Ling's attitude among the people of the village, even if the Xiangshi Kingdom's army comes back to kill them in the future, I'm afraid they won't be able to find anything wrong with it.
After conquering two cities in a row, Shaowu did not stay much longer in Guxiong City and led the army into the jurisdiction of Feihong City. The army occupied the roads and bridges outside the city and circled the city north to reach Shuangliu Village, a traffic artery.
Hongcheng was temporarily besieged but not attacked.
Feihong City is the largest city in Xiangshi Kingdom besides the capital. Before the arrival of the Shaowu Army, various news had spread everywhere, and battle reports from the front came one after another. As long as the people in the villages had time to evacuate,
Almost all of them were evacuated to the city. The reason why people built city walls was to play this role in wartime. (To be continued)
