Twenty thousand riders and forty thousand war horses galloping.
If you look down from the air, it looks like a dark cloud flying along the wilderness.
A caravan saw dark clouds on the official road and quickly stepped aside
The businessman shouted: "Kneel down! Kneel down!"
He looked desperate, but he lowered his head without hesitation, stuck his butt out, and put his forehead on the ground.
He doesn't understand the art of war, but he knows that the faster the army, the more it needs to be kept secret.
"Please protect me from the gods. I swear, this is the last trip. After delivering the goods, I will stop working and enjoy my life at home."
The guys were all kneeling behind him. One of them looked cunning. When he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching, he raised his head and glanced up.
The cavalry swarmed past.
A pair of cold eyes swept over them.
The same goes for the voice, cold and cold.
"Fire the arrow!"
"No!"
A hail of arrows covered the group.
The cavalry did not stop and then left.
Several big black birds were hovering in the sky and slowly falling.
They twisted their bodies and walked step by step to the corpse.
The sparkle in the businessman's eyes gradually dissipated.
Seeing the big bird pacing up to his chest, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "In troubled times, people are worse than dogs."
"Master Cangzhou said he could hold on for two days!"
This was Shen Changhe's judgment and his worry. The loss of 40,000 war horses was too great.
“Cangzhou has a lot of money and food!”
Lin Jun said coldly.
Governor Helian's army was stationed in Cangzhou, and Ningxing's money and food supplies continued to arrive.
It is said that they are piled up like mountains.
"Too."
Shen Changhe didn't know what was wrong with him, he always felt a little uneasy.
He looked at the weather and thought that he hadn't had anything to do with a woman in more than half a year recently.
This is getting angry!
Shen Changhe thought of the beauties Lin Jun rewarded him.
Enjoy it when you get back!
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Enemy scout found!"
Someone shouted from the front.
"Don't worry!"
Lin Jun ordered: "Rush over!"
His soldiers were extremely quick, and he crushed everything that stood in his way of capturing Cangzhou.
The Northern Xinjiang Army scouts fled in panic.
The army rumbled across this wilderness, ahead.
"It's Hengdu City!"
Someone cheered.
Then, someone screamed, "We found many enemy troops!"
In front of Hengdu City, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "It came very quickly."
The old thief said: "This guy's eyes will probably pop out of his head when he sees the Duke here."
Twenty thousand cavalry reined in their horses.
Amidst the long neigh of the war horse, Lin Jun looked at Yang Xuan and said with a smile: "Although I don't want to admit it, I still want to say that I am optimistic about him in this battle.
I thought he would take a rest, and I also thought he would raid Cangzhou. But it will take a day or two to attack Cangzhou! If I attack from behind again, how can the exhausted Northern Xinjiang army defeat them? "
"I counted everything, but I didn't count that Cangzhou was actually broken by him."
Shen Changhe called the scouts in disbelief, "Are you sure Cangzhou is still in Daliao's hands this morning?"
The scout nodded, "Here, the villain also met their scout and scolded them for a while."
Shen Changhe said: "In other words, it took Yang Xuan at most half a day to capture Hengdu City."
"No, an hour!"
Lin Jun's expression remained as usual, but his hand holding the horse's reins turned white at the joints.
Yang Xuan rode out and waved, "Brother Lin!"
Jiang Heer looked strange, "Brother, this title is interesting!"
Lin Jun said: "Be careful around you."
Shen Changhe nodded, "Your Majesty, do you want to see him?"
"After this battle, the three states have become a lone army, and no one can contain Yang Xuan anymore. It's time to go see him!"
Lin Jun rode out.
The two met in the middle.
"Brother Lin came so quickly!"
Yang Xuan pointed to the front, "One person and two riders, a lot of horses will be discarded along the way, right? And it will cost a lot for people to eat horse chews. Do the three states have enough money and food?"
He smiled and said: "Someone came to report earlier that a large amount of money and food was found in the city. It's a pity. If you had arrived half a day earlier, maybe all the money and food would be yours."
"By the way, the morale of the defenders in the city is completely depleted. It's really easy to attack them in one go!"
Lin Jun looked as usual, "Yanzhou and Cangzhou are lost, and the three states are left alone. What is Qin Guogong's plan? How about living in peace?"
Yang Xuan looked at him, "Do you think you have a big face?"
"No?"
"Here!" Yang Xuan stretched out his hand and drew a circle, "This is my place. I sleep at night and don't like to hear other people snoring! You snore, right? Either get out or die!"
Lin Jun smiled and said: "If I return to Daliao,"
"I have spent more time dealing with He Lianchun than you. What this person hates most is betrayal. Even if he accepts you again, I bet that it will take at most three months for him to find a way to take away your army first.
, and then I will find an excuse to kill you!"
"Don't think that Lin Ya can help you, what is the emperor? Supreme!" Yang Xuan sneered: "You are rebellious! As long as you hold the truth, Lin Ya can only kneel down. Besides, Lin Ya is a hero, how can he tolerate you?
?”
Tolerating rebellion is telling everyone: Come and betray me! It’s okay, as long as you are willing to turn back, I will definitely accept you again!
A group should never do this!
"Thank you for taking the time to think about me." Lin Jun glanced at the Northern Xinjiang Army behind him. Although he was tired, he was in good spirits.
"You have completely angered Ning Xing this time. There is no shortage of people and food in Daliao."
The Liao Dynasty was short of money, so the Southern Zhou Dynasty could use money to seduce them. Whenever the Tang Dynasty was about to send troops south, the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty would affectionately shout to the Northern Liao Dynasty, "Dear, are you here? I am not short of money!"
"No matter how many people there are, without a tiger to rule them, they are just a group of sheep." Yang Xuan sneered, "Are you afraid?"
"If I say I'm not afraid, you will definitely look down on me!"
"That's right." Yang Xuan said: "He Lianchun wants to kill you, but Lin Ya can't spare you! You have two choices, die or surrender."
"Surrender you?"
"He Lianrong is also the governor, and now he is at home in northern Xinjiang."
"But I don't like to be inferior to others by nature!"
"Then go to hell!"
Yang Xuan rode back and gave Lin Jun one last look, "Have a good life and enjoy the last years of your life!"
"I am very interested in knowing how fearful Li Mi will be after the results of this battle are sent to Chang'an. Fear will lead to madness. Hahaha! Yang Xuan, enjoy your last period as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty! Then, you
You can only rebel!"
Yang Xuan smiled slightly, "I'm very much looking forward to it!"
Jiangzhou is on alert at the moment.
"The scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army are constantly approaching, and they are very fierce."
The city is under martial law.
Immediately the message was sent to Ningxing.
"The scouts from Northern Xinjiang are approaching Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou has judged that Yang Xuan is preparing to send troops!"
He Lianchun got the news and summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.
"Jiangzhou is the last gateway to Ningxing, there is no room for failure!"
Lin Ya said: "I am willing to sit in charge."
The emperor glanced at him and said, "The Jiangzhou army has gathered. I think Yang Xuan will return without success!"
If Lin Ya takes control of Jiangzhou's army, he can turn around and raid Ningxing.
Lin Ya sighed in her heart, "Yes!"
The emperor said: "The news of the past few days must be reported to me in time, even if it is late at night!"
This battle was closely related to the Liao Dynasty. The emperor abandoned almost all political affairs and engaged in various deductions on the map with his staff.
"With Governor Helian on the side, he will not sit back and watch!" an aide said: "He has a large army in his hands. Once he attacks, Your Majesty, Yang Xuan will be defeated."
"What about Lin Jun?" Someone asked, "What will happen if Lin Jun helps Northern Xinjiang?"
"Haha!" The staff member chuckled, "So what if I leave Cangzhou to him? As long as
Defeat Yang Xuan, and when the army goes south, we can easily destroy him!"
The emperor nodded approvingly to his staff, "Don't fight for the gains and losses of one city or one place. The overall situation is more important."
"Your Majesty, this warrior believes that he has at least a 90% chance of victory!"
"Why did Yang Xuan attack Jiangzhou?" The man questioned again.
"When Governor Helian got the news, tens of thousands of troops defended Cangzhou, and Yang Xuan couldn't attack it even with three heads and six arms. In this way, he would be embarrassed."
"Look!" the staff pointed at Yanzhou, "If he retreats, Yanzhou will stick out, and Jiangzhou will send troops to attack. Governor Helian of Cangzhou can send reinforcements or attack from a flank. Yanzhou will become a trap, forcing Yang Xuan to
We can only bring the army back to support."
The staff smiled and said: "Everyone, the spring plowing has just ended, but the food harvest is still early! We are sure that Yanzhou cannot be broken, so we will attack every now and then. Will Yang Xuan come? Come on, how much food will be lost every time we send troops? Back and forth, northern Xinjiang
No amount of foundation is enough for him to spend!"
"In other words, it would be better to leave Yanzhou to him!"
"That's right!"
The emperor smiled, "Good!"
The atmosphere in the hall was very pleasant.
The emperor then rewarded his staff with food and wine, but his own meal was light.
"Father, is the war situation going well?" the prince asked.
The emperor nodded, "I didn't see this level at the beginning. Sometimes, giving up something is not necessarily a bad thing. This is the truth that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other."
The prince smiled and said: "Then let's go out to play in the city!"
"Hey! I actually forgot what I promised you." The emperor covered his forehead, "The outcome of the battle should be announced in the next few days. Once the outcome is achieved, we will leave the city!"
"good!"
The emperor had a good appetite today. After finishing his meal, he strolled slowly to the queen's place.
"Since I came to the throne, you have gradually changed. You are a bit arrogant."
The emperor stood in the palace, looking calmly at the queen sitting on the bed.
The queen sneered and said: "I am careful in my actions, but Your Majesty would rather trust outsiders than trust me."
The emperor asked: "You mean the prince?"
"Isn't it?" The queen looked up at him, "You would rather entrust the prince to the eldest princess than to my mother."
"Hey!" the emperor sighed, "Da Liao has great enemies outside and many internal worries. If I entrust the prince to you, can you deal with it?"
"Why not?" the queen said sharply: "Isn't it just to recruit civil and military officials to deal with Lin Ya?"
"This is not a marketplace!" said the emperor.
"Your Majesty, do you want to say that I don't understand this? But who knows this naturally? I am learning!"
The emperor held her hand, and the queen struggled for a moment, but before she could break free, she turned away from looking at him.
"You and I are a couple in need. I thought that we would grow old together at least."
The queen's body became softer, and the emperor held her waist, which was no longer slender, and felt her slight struggle and twist, and said: "I am recuperating my body and letting Changling come forward to fight with Lin Ya. I am watching coldly from the side, do you understand?
"
"Your Majesty is using Changling?"
"yes!"
The empress spoke for a while, and the emperor got up and went out.
Xu Fu followed the emperor, lowering his head, thinking about the current situation in the palace.
The emperor took the prince with him, and except at night, the father and son were together.
The queen, who was managing affairs in the harem, gradually became restless and bossy.
Xu Fu felt that the conflict between the emperor and the empress would last for a long time.
He heard the emperor's sigh and looked up.
The emperor smiled bitterly, "Maybe I shouldn't have found such a so-called Xiaojiabiyu woman in the first place!"
Xiaojiabiyu is gentle and gentle, but she has never seen the world. Once she became a queen, her desires were so strong that it was scary.
The emperor is still here!
I just want to get involved in political affairs.
Xu Fu felt that the queen was guilty of something.
The emperor stopped and turned around, looking at the queen's palace with cold eyes.
Xu Fu felt a chill in his heart.
After a long while, the emperor shook his head and said, "That's all, they are a couple in need after all!"
The next day, the emperor summoned the chief minister
Princess.
"The prince has been studying well recently."
The emperor smiled.
"That's very gratifying."
Changling sat down.
Xu Fu glanced at the eldest princess and saw that her cheeks were plumper than before and her complexion was more radiant. He couldn't help but think of the queen who gave birth to the prince in Tanzhou, who also looked like this.
"The clan has been grumbling recently, thinking that I have been on the throne for a long time and should pay attention to them." The emperor said sarcastically: "They are all a group of profit-seeking people."
Changling smiled and said: "But King Lian Jiang has no such intention."
The emperor smiled, "That's a smart man."
Lianjiang Wang Helian was the general of the clan before the late Emperor, and was praised as the first member of the clan. After the late Emperor ascended the throne, he chose to retire bravely and return home to retire.
"He dug a big pond at home and went fishing every day wearing a raincoat." It was rare for Changling to relax like this.
"How is the child?" asked the emperor.
"Fortunately, it's the same every day."
Changling's mood got better when he mentioned his children.
"Be careful not to get exposed to the wind. When the prince was a child, he was exposed to wind and fever and almost couldn't survive it," the emperor warned.
Changling said: "But don't cover it too much."
"Who said that?"
Jin Gui, the child of the clan, has been tightly wrapped since he was a child.
Changling remained silent.
"When are you going to tell him?" the emperor asked.
Changling shook his head, "I don't know either, maybe I don't want to tell him!"
Women are always so troublesome when doing things. The emperor smiled and said: "I don't think he thinks I am treating this child as a hostage, right?"
"It's not like you." Changling said.
The emperor nodded, "I disdain to use such methods!" Then the medical officer came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for diagnosis and treatment."
Changling stood up and left.
The emperor waved his hand and the medical officer resigned.
"I'm always worried about Lin Ya. After this battle, if the Liao Dynasty wins, that's what I want."
The emperor waved his hand and a strong wind blew up.
Changling nodded, "That's fine! It's time to settle things."
Although the death of the late emperor had nothing to do with Lin Ya, if it weren't for Lin Ya's restraint over the years, the late emperor's body would not have been so troubled.
The medical officer then examined and treated the emperor and said with a smile: "It's not bad!"
"I still have to watch the prince grow up!"
At night, the emperor lay on the bed and read the prince's words with great interest.
"Bring me a pen!"
The emperor asked for pen and ink and annotated it himself.
Outside Ningxing City, hundreds of riders came.
"Who?"
"Emergency military situation!"
"Put the hanging basket down!"
The hanging basket went down and someone was pulled up.
"What kind of military emergency is this? It's going on non-stop in the middle of the night." The guard said dissatisfied.
The visitor took out the document and said in a deep voice: "The general was defeated and Cangzhou was lost."
There was deathly silence at the top of the city.
In the palace, the emperor looked at the words and said with a smile: "The word "Prince" looks just like when I was a child, hahahaha!"
Amid laughter, the messenger arrived outside the palace.
