In Sang Yuanxing's view, it is inevitable that Lin Jun will lead the army to help.
Otherwise, once Kunzhou is lost, Ningxing will take advantage of the situation and attack - Lin Jun occupied Taizhou in the name of resisting the invasion of Northern Xinjiang. But Northern Xinjiang invaded, where are you?
Once the righteousness is lost, the emperor and the eldest princess can take action on Ningxing's side.
The famous Daliao general is coming, but Sang Yuanxing is not happy.
Who wouldn’t want to defeat a powerful enemy personally?
Standing still and waiting for reinforcements, watching the reinforcements defeat the powerful enemy, I felt grateful.
However, it is always a good thing to save a life.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jun lost.
The famous Liao general who had defeated the Shegu people three times in three battles, so that the emperor was so afraid that he tried to throw him to his hometown of Tanzhou, was defeated by Yang Xuan.
Where are the reinforcements?
Without reinforcements, how can we resist the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army?
Sang Yuanxing's hand relaxed and the tea cup fell to the ground.
"Too hot!"
Sang Yuanxing suddenly became furious, pointed at the entourage making tea and cursed: "Get out of here and punish me severely!"
The attendant looked confused, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Two sergeants dragged him out and gagged him, and the shouting stopped immediately.
Sang Yuanxing suppressed his anxiety and said coldly: "Why are you panicking? Wait until he explains clearly."
The sergeant continued: "The two armies fought and attacked each other. In the end, Yang Xuan's middle army defeated Lin Shijun's middle army. Lin Shijun ordered the entire army to evacuate... The villain immediately rushed over to report."
"There were casualties on both sides." Sang Yuanxing asked.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army is not sure, but it is said that Lin Shijun's side suffered more than 2,000 casualties!" the sergeant said.
At least five to six thousand... Sang Yuanxing knows the trick of reporting good news but not bad news.
However, the losses in this battle are not big!
"Has Lin Shijun ever been defeated?" Sang Yuanxing said, "This is a close match!"
"Yes! This is obviously a calm departure."
The atmosphere was falsely relaxed.
Everyone had a smile on their face, but the worry in their eyes became more intense.
Yang Gou is coming.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Xinjiang Army is coming."
"Finally here, let's go and have a look!"
Sang Yuanxing led the civil and military officials to the top of the city.
Thousands of cavalry are approaching.
"Who is it?"
Sang Yuanxing squinted his eyes.
"Not Wang Lao Er!"
Everyone felt relieved.
Then, a large group of people arrived.
"It's the southern flag!"
"Nan He!" Sang Yuanxing's eyes became more relaxed, "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed." A shooter said excitedly: "It's the Southern Flag!"
"Nan He is Yang Xuan's confidant. His abilities are unknown. He used to be in charge of the Northern Xinjiang Army. He is very loyal to Yang Xuan and has followed him from Taiping to Taoxian. He is one of the most core people around Yang Xuan."
The people from the Eagle Guard softly introduced Nan He's situation.
"As long as it's not a Yang dog."
Sang Yuanxing said: "It seems that Yang Xuan is afraid of Lin Shijun, so he personally leads the army to intercept him. If he doesn't come, I will be 90% sure of defending Lijiang City."
"yes!"
The army gathered together and under the banner, someone said: "Lijiang can be considered a fortified city and is difficult to attack."
After Neizhou was lost, Lijiang City began reinforcement work, and now it looks quite solid.
"This battle is not about this." Nan He said: "This battle is about Lin Jun and the Duke of Guo."
If Lin Jun defeated Yang Xuan, it goes without saying that Lijiang would open the city gates and attack the Northern Xinjiang army from a flank.
Yang Xuan defeated Lin Jun, and the army attacked together. Lijiang City's morale was completely depleted. How long can it hold on?
War is never a simple comparison of numbers, but is closely related to the current situation.
Ta-ta-ta!
More than ten cavalrymen rushed into the Chinese army and shouted: "Good news. The Duke of Guo led his army to defeat the Taizhou reinforcements!"
The corners of Nan He's mouth raised slightly, "Spread the news to all the armies!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The soldiers cheered heartily.
The Duke has won again!
Is there anything else in this world that can stop the Duke?
Zhao Yong's eyes were bright and he had never felt so excited.
"Trebuchet!"
Following Nan He's order, a bloody offensive and defensive battle began.
On the first day, the city head was pockmarked by trebuchets, and there were many casualties.
But it was blocked after all.
The pace of Nanhe's siege is very slow, like a little old man, methodical, but the movements are so slow that it makes you want to hit people.
In the early morning of the next day, while having breakfast, a general came to give him advice.
"General Nan, how about something stronger?"
In Yang Xuan's last application, Nan He was appointed as the general of Gui De, from the third rank, above Jiang Cunzhong.
Nan He shook his head, "Don't be hasty!"
The siege battle on the second day remained the same.
The generals were full of complaints, but Nan He did not explain.
…
"The Northern Xinjiang Army also suffered a lot in this battle. The key at this moment is to see Yang Xuan's movements."
There is an open space more than thirty miles away from Lijiang City, where the army rests.
Lin Jun did not feel depressed after the defeat and remained indifferent.
Shen Changhe said: "Wang Laoer is so sharp that it is difficult for our scouts to get close enough to investigate."
"That's a lunatic. So, let someone even crazier go."
Lin Jun waved, "Wang Hu'er!"
A burly man came over and saluted, "Your Majesty."
The big man was called Wang Hu'er, and he liked killing people the most. When he followed Lin Jun to conquer the Shegu people, the Shegu people they killed were frightened by the news.
But after arriving in Tanzhou, he was restrained by Lin Jun and was not allowed to do anything without permission.
"You lead the army to investigate the movements of Yang Xuan's army."
Wang Huer's eyebrows were filled with joy, "Take the order!"
"Be careful, Mr. Wang!"
"Don't worry, the villain will return with Wang Laoer's head!"
Wang Huer set off with more than a thousand cavalry.
Not long after, we encountered Wang Laoer who was cruising around.
"Second brother, here comes the business!"
The thin elder's eyes were shining.
"Kill!"
Wang Laoer had a great time killing in the past two days and was thinking about how much money he could save. When he saw the more than a thousand horses, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"It's Mr. Wang!"
Wang Huer rushed up and yelled, "Lao Er Wang!"
"What did you call me for?"
Wang Laoer believes that killing should be focused, and those who are not focused will be punished.
The light of the knife flashed.
Clang clang clang!
Heads flew up.
The defeated troops went back to report.
"Wang Hu'er died in battle."
The heads have become something that Wang Laoer sells for money.
Lin Junwan said, "That Wang Lao Er is quite capable of killing."
Several riders came and brought bad news.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army has begun to attack Lijiang City."
Shen Changhe said: "Sang Yuanxing seems to be strong, but he is a corrupt official. It is said that his family has a lot of money. People will be afraid of death when they are rich. If they are afraid of death, they will be ugly, and they will be inferior to those who have nothing."
"We have nothing left, only a worthless life, so what are we afraid of?" Lin Jun said: "Within five days, there should be no danger. In other words, within five days, we will have a decisive battle with Yang Xuan
.One battle will determine the victory or defeat."
A general asked: "Your Majesty, where is Lijiang City? Should we go to reinforce it?"
"This battle has nothing to do with Kunzhou." Lin Jun glanced at the general and saw that he was still confused, and couldn't help but sigh, "If I win here, even if Lijiang is defeated by Nanhe, I can still take it back easily. If I lose here, even if
It was Sang Yuanxing who was determined. When Yang Xuan's army appeared, the defenders in the city no longer had the fighting spirit... Do you understand?"
He doesn't like to deal with stupid people, but there are stupid people everywhere in this world, which makes him bored.
"Let the good guys spread out their investigation!"
That night, a good man who lost his right arm came back.
"Nine miles to the southwest...nine miles away."
Nine miles!
This is almost a distance that can be attacked at any time.
Shen Changhe's expression changed.
"Fortunately it wasn't discovered!"
Lin Jun said: "Without further delay, prepare for a surprise attack."
Ta-ta-ta!
A scout came back, bringing with him five thousand cavalry.
"Your Majesty has ordered that Kunzhou must be rescued!"
Lin Jun looked at the servant leading the team and said coldly: "I said, I will be outside! No orders from the emperor!"
The chamberlain said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty already knew you would say this, come here!"
A man stepped forward, and Lin Jun's eyes turned cold.
This is the person next to Lin Ya.
"Please avoid it." The man smiled.
"Isn't it embarrassing?" the chamberlain sneered, but still avoided it.
The man and Lin Jun talked alone.
"What does Xianggong mean?" Lin Jun asked.
The man said: "Sir, two big tribes are fighting over each other."
"Is the excuse related to the war?"
The man did not hide the surprise in his eyes, "Exactly. My husband said that although Southern Xinjiang and Ningxing are far apart, they are closely related. The outcome of this battle will affect some of my husband's plans, so we must take a proactive approach."
attitude."
"In this way, we can confidently compete for power."
Lin Jun fell silent immediately.
The man did not urge him, but instead stepped aside and said to his entourage: "Sure enough, he is the general that my husband relies on the most. He judged my husband's difficulty just by opening his mouth."
The attendant said: "Otherwise, why would my husband leave his biological sons alone and support him with all his strength?"
The man nodded, "This man has been smart since he was a child, but he is a bit cold. Even when facing my husband, he still has a cold face. It's strange to say that if others are like this, they will definitely be punished by my husband, but he has been safe and sound, and my husband has become more and more cold.
It’s really strange that you value him so much.”
The attendant smiled and said: "Maybe this is just the fate of the eyes!"
"I think it's more about ability. If this person has ability, how can he not respect him?!"
Shen Changhe is here.
"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions from your husband?"
Lin Jun said: "My husband is planning two big tribes, and I need to give him a face here."
Shen Changhe understood, "In this case, we must either reinforce or defeat Yang Xuan. There is no way to delay."
"I know."
Lin Jun suddenly sneered, "I agreed at the beginning that I would do whatever I want here, but he changed his mind."
"To seize a large tribe, there must be a great cause, such as fighting for the Liao Dynasty. But it is empty talk... The last time the envoy captured Taizhou made Ningxing very angry. In this way, who would believe that the people will serve the country and the people?
?”
"Why are you looking for righteousness?" Lin Jun said: "I have at least five ways to seize those two big tribes. My husband's move... was instigated by someone behind my back."
"What you mean...are your husbands?"
Lin Jun nodded, "Those people have long disliked me, and they always thought that I had taken away their opportunity. But those fools didn't even think about it, just relying on their own qualifications to lead the army to fight? They only know how to fight for power, but they don't
We know that the tiger and the wolf are on the side. The emperor and the eldest princess are all watching with eager eyes. If there is internal chaos at this time, it will only give them an advantage."
Shen Changhe smiled bitterly, "But that is my husband's son after all."
"It must have been their instigation to intervene this time." Lin Jun said sarcastically: "In this way, I fulfilled their wish."
He waved and the man came over.
"I will do my best on this matter."
The man saluted and said happily: "The envoy is a famous general of the Liao Dynasty. How many people in Ningxing are waiting for the good news about the envoy. Before setting off, I would like to tell you that this battle is of great importance, so you must do your best.
"
"I know."
Lin Jun looks indifferent, but people who are familiar with him have long been used to it.
"Eat some dry food and set off later!"
Lin Jun ordered.
He sat down by himself, surrounded by guards and Shen Changhe.
The chamberlain was eating dry food, laughing as he ate, "With Lin Ya's pressure, how dare he refuse?"
The attendant said: "Yes! All this was given to him by Ling Ya. Ling Ya can give and receive."
Lin Jun ate the dry food silently, while Shen Changhe beside him was observing the five thousand cavalry.
"Your Majesty, those five thousand cavalry seem to be quite elite."
Lin Jun nodded, "I said, this battle lies outside, not inside. If Ning Xing doesn't interfere, I will be sure to keep Yang Xuan in check. When reinforcements from the surrounding areas arrive, Yang Xuan will either retreat or risk a decisive battle.
...Da Liao can be defeated, but he cannot be defeated, so he will definitely withdraw his troops."
He took a bite of the dry biscuit and chewed it slowly.
"But Ning Xing still has an envoy."
There was more coldness in his eyes.
Shen Changhe's heart trembled, "Your Majesty, that is your husband."
"Um!"
After eating dry food and resting for a while, Lin Jun gave the order to set off.
On the opposite side, Yang Xuan also spotted him and was just setting off.
Scouts from both sides soon encountered each other.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Xinjiang Army is coming."
"What a pity!" Lin Ya's envoy expressed regret.
The waiter was also a little disappointed.
"If he could be easily attacked, where would he be today?"
This group of stupid people made Lin Jun feel even more boring.
"Tell the five thousand to ride to the left wing and prepare for an ambush."
"Take your orders!"
When he learned that he was going to ambush, the reinforcement general relaxed his guard and even raised his hand to Lin Jun. "Thank you, envoy!"
Before he came, he was told by his superiors to be careful about being sacrificed by Lin Jun.
Now it seems that Shangguan is worrying too much.
"The rest." Lin Jun drew his sword, "Follow me and attack!"
"Your Majesty is indeed brave!" Even the chamberlain had nothing to say.
Lin Ya's envoy sighed: "What a good man, but it's a pity that he is not my husband's son."
On the opposite side, Yang Xuan received the scout report.
"Lin Jun is here with his army."
"How many people?"
"Twenty-four-five thousand!"
"This is an all-out attack!" Han Ji stroked his beard, "A decisive battle?"
"It's a decisive battle stance," the old thief said.
Yang Xuan felt something was wrong.
"A decisive battle is a decisive battle, but who are Lin Jun and others? Even if it is a decisive battle, you have to leave yourself a backup plan. He actually charges the whole army and makes a desperate move... This is not his style."
"How does the Duke know his thoughts?" Jiang He'er asked.
Yang Xuan sighed, "Just because I think so too. Old thief!"
"exist!"
"You lead the troops to search the right wing and stay in position. Do you understand?"
"If we find an enemy ambush, we will make a surprise attack. If not, we will ambush Lin Jun's troops."
It's time to leave... Yang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Tu Gong, you lead the army to the left wing!"
After everyone set off, Yang Xuan said: "This is a fight. Lin Jun launches a whole-army assault. It looks scary, but if there is no change, then why fight?"
The two sides keep getting closer.
Then hit him.
The fight lasted only a quarter of an hour, and Lin Jun turned pale and said, "Yang Xuan's troops have the wrong number. There are six or seven thousand men missing. Be careful of ambushes!"
The chamberlain's face turned pale, "It's said that Yang Gou is the best at ambush!"
Lin Ya's envoy was also awestruck and couldn't help but look left and right.
Lin Jun winked, and Shen Changhe was startled, but still said understandingly: "There are Yang Xuan ambushing troops on both wings, retreat! retreat!"
At this moment, the two parties have only been in contact for a short time and have not gone into depth.
Lin Jun's troops retreated like a tide.
Everyone on the Northern Xinjiang Army side was confused.
Several horses came galloping.
"The old thief found five thousand ambushes there."
"This method is too crude. Lin Jun's troops are all here, and those five thousand people are mostly reinforcements. This is..." Yang Xuan stroked his chin and sighed, "In this case, I will accept it.
"
Immediately, two thousand cavalry were sent out to the right wing, and Yang Xuan led the main force to pursue them.
But Lin Junbu ran too fast.
Yang Xuan reined in his horse and said, "If you tell me, I will accept the five thousand riders. Thank you very much, Commander Lin!"
It's so gloomy... Han Ji's eyes were filled with excitement, and he felt that only by following such a lord would he have a future.
The soldiers shouted: "The Duke accepted those five thousand horses with a smile. Thank you very much, Ambassador Lin!"
