The first thousand three hundred and ninety-nine chapters deliberately
"Come up." Bai Yuxian stretched out his hand to Ye Fuxun.
"There are two horses..." Ye Fuxun choked and wondered to himself why this man didn't go back, and why he had to go back after he came out.
Zhuo Lang on the side got on the horse consciously. He felt that he was a little redundant. He looked at Ye Fuxun and tilted his head and said: "Sister, why don't we go back so quickly?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head and sighed. He always felt that he had been tricked by Bai Yuxian, so he still stretched out his hand to meet Bai Yuxian's big palm. Bai Yuxian used strength to pull the man onto the horse, and the two horses galloped away.
"Is King Nan safe?"
"Well, Lu Ming and the others are moving very quickly, and Zhao Yan is also preparing for war."
The movement was indeed very fast... In just a moment, the news that Cangzhou City was preparing to start a war had spread to Changzhou. She couldn't help but wonder if Lu Ming's previous failure to contact Bai Yuxian was intentional.
"When will the war begin?"
"Today and yesterday, we learned about the arrival of King Yi, so we were caught off guard."
Ye Fuxun: "..."
She was now even more certain that she had done it on purpose.
Lu State, border of Changzhou.
Zhao Yan received the news the night before and deployed everything. He recuperated his strength overnight. At noon today, the entire army was ready to go.
And Lu Ming brought the unconscious King Nan back intact, which further stabilized the morale of the army.
Bai Yuxian also rushed back to the military camp before setting off.
He and Zhao Yan rode up to the front of the army. As soon as Bai Yuxian appeared, the soldiers all shouted long live the emperor.
Ye Fuxun was forced back into the tent by Bai Yuxian, and Ming Wuxin sent him back to Changzhou. Ye Fuxun was still a little angry, but luckily he met Bai Ling'er and stopped Bai Yuxian.
"Wan'er will never be in danger if you are with me, but you yourself don't explain things clearly, which makes people worried."
Seeing that Bai Yuxian was doing well, Bai Ling'er felt relieved and her eyes were slightly red.
It was very rare to see his imperial sister like this. Bai Yuxian was stunned for a moment, but still gave in and had no choice but to let Ye Fuxun go.
On the way, Zhao Yan explained the strategy he had drawn up to Bai Yuxian, then hesitated and said, "Maybe it's a bit reckless..."
Last night, he had already ambushed elite soldiers in the mountains outside Cangzhou City, waiting for the opportunity to move. He only needed to lure the rebels out, but accordingly, they needed to go deep into the enemy's hinterland, which would inevitably be a hard battle, but this was undoubtedly the most difficult battle.
Good idea.
Bai Yuxian nodded: "You are a general. You should not have any doubts after formulating a strategy. You only need to try your best to complete the strategy to perfection."
After all, this was Zhao Yan's first time leading an army in battle. It was not like he had never been on the battlefield before, but he was always under the wings of King Nan. Now that he was on his own, it was normal for him to feel a little apprehensive.
"Well... speaking of which, did you meet Dong Anze when you went to Cangzhou this time?"
Bai Yuxian shook his head: "No, it is said that Dong Anze is with King Yi. King Yi is in Cangzhou now, but he has not heard any news about Dong Anze."
"I had some friendship with Dong Anze when he was still under my father's command. This man does not seem like a bad person. Besides, the Dong family has been guarding the border for generations. How could he be treason..."
It is really puzzling. Zhao Yan has been thinking about this matter for the past few days. When Dong Anze rebelled, the people of the Southern King immediately went to the Dong family's mansion, only to find that the building was already empty.
It was obviously planned...
Bai Yuxian naturally had no way of knowing, but he was very calm. He just waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, we will capture Cangzhou and arrest Dong Anze, and everything will be revealed naturally."
It is not a good thing to worry about these things before the war.
Zhao Yan nodded, took a deep breath, put aside distracting thoughts, and went on his way. He brought an army of 100,000 people with him on this trip, and according to Zhao Yan's command, he was divided into two groups to outflank them.
In addition, Zhao Yan and Bai Yuxian led the elite troops who had ambushed in advance and caught the Cangzhou army by surprise while they were still delivering a speech under the city gate.
The Cangzhou rebels were still waiting for King Yi to talk, so they let the Changzhou army kill them all. The soldiers on the front line hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Xiao army has broken through the front line and is less than twenty miles away from the camp!
"
"how so?"
The generals gathered here were stunned, and King Yi almost lost his footing. The front line was at a mountain pass, a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It had always been heavily guarded.
Everyone in the rebel army was confident that they could defend the Lu State's army by relying on the terrain there. Moreover, in the previous battles, it was clear that the Lu State did not have the strength to attack their front line. This news was something they never expected.
The soldier who sent the message had obviously never seen this battle, and said intermittently: "There were many people from the Lu State ambushed in the mountains. When the Lu State's army rushed over, the ambush soldiers also rushed out, cooperated inside and outside, and beat us.
Unprepared..."
King Yi almost didn't mention it in one breath, and said in a deep voice: "Asshole! Who is in charge on the front line? How long did it take for the news to come through?"
But this was not the time to ask questions, and there was no time to continue his long speech. After forcing himself to calm down, King Yi got on his horse and led the army out to fight.
By the time the rebels arrived late, Xiao's army had already killed everyone on the front line, and the so-called frontline generals had no time to receive their punishment because their heads had already been beheaded by Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan and Bai Yuxian walked in two directions at this time, bypassing each other and allowing the rampaging rebels to escape. When King Yi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, Bai Yuxian, as the forward, had already taken the lead to attack the opposite side.
military camp.
Under the leadership of Bai Yuxian and Zhao Yan, the two teams did not follow the so-called rules at all. They only controlled the rhythm by themselves. They quickly tore a hole in the defense set by King Yi. The momentum of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high.
They killed the enemy whenever they met, and the whole outside of Cangzhou City was covered with blood.
When the rebels led by King Yi turned back again, the mountains and plains were already filled with Xiao's troops. Countless rebel soldiers had been killed, the defense lines collapsed, and they were helpless.
At the same time, after receiving Zhao Yan's signal, the two teams that were originally separated from Zhao Yan and Bai Yuxian slowly reunited and surrounded the rebels in an orderly manner.
At this time, a three-sided encirclement and suppression force was formed, and the rebels' initiative was completely lost. If they retreated at this time, they would not be able to return to Cangzhou City. Behind them was Changzhou.
The encirclement slowly gathered, and the army was defeated like a mountain. The rebels were defeated by the soldiers of the mainland. There were screams, and many people even gave up resistance.
King Yi finally discovered this and ordered the entire army to unite, but they formed an impregnable formation, making it impossible for Bai Yuxian and others to attack them for a while.
However, this was their last resistance. They were obviously defeated, and they were defeated quickly and completely.
In front of the formation, Bai Yuxian sent people to loudly persuade him to surrender, but this was the first time King Yi participated in the war. How could he accept the reality so easily? Naturally, he gritted his teeth and persisted, sending troops and generals in the formation to try to break out.
