209 A Familiar Person and Wanyan Fen, King of the Southern Court
When Wu Yue heard this, he couldn't help but think of--
Cheng Huanian was a cold-blooded person and had never been very involved in things like military gatherings.
Although he, Wu Yuechang, could be considered as having served in the army together with Cheng Huanian for decades.
But if it’s really about spending time together in private.
Perhaps, it really is not as long as the time His Royal Highness Cheng Hua Nian spent day and night with when he was studying as a teacher.
"...But how come His Highness the Crown Prince knows so much about the time spent together between me and General Cheng Huanian?"
Thinking of this, Wu Yuechang suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He suddenly understood.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness has already known everything about the military affairs."
And the so-called dispute between the "General's Faction" and the "Prince's Prince's Faction" has actually been under the control of His Highness the Prince for a long time.
Because it's controllable.
So His Highness the Crown Prince never cared about it.
Even Cheng Huanian, the leader recommended by the hostile faction, His Royal Highness has never cared about him.
Otherwise, how can I explain that I have almost never had a direct confrontation with His Highness the Crown Prince in the past, but mostly secretly competed with people like Zhu Gongqi in the army?
Wu Yuechang couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous...
He felt that he and Zhu Gongqi were a bit ridiculous.
The two others might have a good relationship, and Cheng Huanian even personally taught His Royal Highness the art of bow and arrow.
However, he and Zhu Gongqi insisted on creating some kind of "general faction" and "shizi faction", and they usually fought secretly. However, the protagonists at the center of the incident didn't care at all.
…
Camp talk.
Wu Yuechang's frank talk and revealing of his feelings gave Yan Wulu a deeper understanding of the imaginary and heated factional dispute in the army.
Although the details of the development always reveal some misunderstandings and humor.
But since Wu Yuechang, the core figure of the so-called "general faction", also decided to support and follow the crown prince Yan Wulu.
The so-called "war between the two factions" in the Zhenbei Army disappeared at this point.
…
…
The envoy team led by Yan Wulu continued to march north.
All the way across the northern Xinjiang prairie.
In addition to conquests and wars, the people of Northern Xinjiang are mainly nomadic herders.
While the team was marching, Yan Wulu occasionally saw the abandoned corpses of dead cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock.
I don’t know if it’s because there are too many livestock grazing, so there are always some dead bodies abandoned?
But that's not right either.
Even if they died, given the economic situation where herders in northern Xinjiang are generally not wealthy, they would not just throw away these corpses like garbage.
After all, even dead livestock still have fur, meat, and many other valuable items that can be recycled.
Yan Wulu thought.
He secretly pinched his chin and noticed the recent weather in late summer and early autumn...
But soon, Yan Wulu saw the flag waving by the Northern Xinjiang leading cavalry again.
The sudden flag of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry attracted Yan Wulu's attention.
Yan Wulu just didn't care too much about the dead livestock anymore.
Follow the flag and turn.
After traveling for nearly half a month, Yan Wulu's envoy team finally passed through the northern Xinjiang prairie and arrived at Lake Baikal at the northern end of the prairie.
On the bank of the lake is the royal city of Northern Xinjiang - Baikal Royal City.
The official system of the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang was different from that of the Daqian Dynasty.
Yan Wulu himself felt that if Daqian was like a feudal dynasty with a well-established system, then Wanyan Jin Kingdom was more like a country with a semi-slave and semi-feudal system.
Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing for a northern grassland country that mainly engages in nomadic expeditions.
The Wanyan Jin Kingdom did not have as complicated and numerous official positions as the Daqian Dynasty.
They are mainly composed of several Khan kings with rich surnames, and are surrounded by the Wanyan clan.
Among them, there are Wan Yanfen, the King of the South Court, and Wanyan Lie, the King of the North Court, who hold absolute military power.
Taking the Baikal Royal City as the intersection, going north to the extreme north, is the sphere of influence of Wan Yanlie, the king of the North Courtyard.
And going south to Beidi and Hetao are the sphere of influence of Wan Yanfen, the king of the South Campus.
…
The "envoy team" of 5,000 people led by Yan Wulu, led by Hu Qi from Northern Xinjiang, came to a place less than ten miles away from King Baikal.
This journey took nearly half a month in total, but in fact, Yan Wulu and the others could have arrived faster and within a few days.
However, the Northern Xinjiang cavalry team that helped them lead the way always led them around, as if they were avoiding something.
Yan Wulu sent someone to ask the other party why, but the other party didn't say a word.
It was only at this moment that Yan Wulu and others finally understood...
…
In front of Yan Wulu and others, the Northern Xinjiang cavalry leading the way suddenly stopped just ten miles away from their destination, King Baikal City.
Both of their faces had a look of surprise.
Yan Wulu's team also stopped accordingly.
Arriving at the front of the team, Yan Wulu discovered the real reason that stopped the Northern Xinjiang Cavalry - in front of him were the endless Northern Xinjiang Hu Cavalry spread across the grassland in front of him.
The Huqi in front of me are all wearing animal fur armor and carrying scimitars at their waists. Each one of them has a ring-shaped beard and a fierce look.
On the chest of their animal fur armor is the symbol of "Northern Xinjiang Wolf".
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry who led the way for Yan Wulu mostly had "Northern Xinjiang Plum Blossom" as their symbol on their armor.
Obviously, the fierce and huge Northern Xinjiang Hu cavalry in front of them and the Northern Xinjiang cavalry who led the way for Yan Wulu and others did not belong to the same force in Wanyan Jin's country.
"Canglang" Hu Qi was crowded with people, and there were gaps in the crowd.
A middle-aged man, riding a tall horse, came out of the team.
I saw that he was wearing dark olive gray animal hair armor, with the "Northern Xinjiang Wolf" logo particularly obvious on the breastplate. He had a dark tiger pattern belt tied around his waist, and his hair was tied into a lot of braids that are extremely rare in Dagan. , strong and strong-willed.
The middle-aged man had an evil look on his face and said disdainfully——
"Wanyan Lingxu, that girl, actually played a good trick with me, trying to hide things from the outside world."
"...My people have been looking for you in the southern border of the grassland for half a month, and you have gone through such a big circle before intercepting you here, Prince Zhenbei."
Yan Wulu reacted when he heard the sound.
It seemed that the Northern Xinjiang cavalry who was leading the way chose to take a detour to avoid the people in front of them and their minions.
Thinking about it, according to the rumored appearance and characteristics, the person in front of him should be Wanyan Fen, the king of the South Campus of Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang.
Its sphere of influence is south of the Royal City of Northern Xinjiang, a large area of fertile grassland called "Southern Xinjiang" by the people of Northern Xinjiang.
The Northern Xinjiang cavalry who led their troops, bearing the "Northern Xinjiang Plum Blossom" logo, should be the few troops directly under the jurisdiction of the eldest princess Wanyan Lingxu.
Of course, it is also possible that they are the troops of North Court King Wanyan Lie.
But most of Wanyan Lie's troops, judging from those who were captured in the "Battle of Hetao", most of the markings on their leather armors were "Northern Xinjiang Divine Fire".
…
…
The reason why the Northern Xinjiang cavalry who led the way for Yan Wulu led Yan Wulu and others in circles in the Northern Xinjiang grassland was probably because they followed the instructions of the eldest princess Wanyan Lingxu and tried their best to avoid the Southern Court King Wanyan Fen.
Sentries and troops.
However, for some reason, he was discovered by Wan Yanfen, the King of the South Campus, and was blocked in this place, which was only ten miles away from King Baikal.
Everyone, including the Northern Xinjiang cavalry who led the way, was puzzled for a moment.
Yan Wulu was the same at first, but later on, he saw a few Northern Xinjiang wolves in the army of the South Campus King...
Yan Wulu instantly recalled how he was discovered by Wanyan Lie during the "Battle of Hetao".
Thinking about it, the information he had obtained was indeed correct - the wolf clan was indeed getting closer to the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang.
So, although Shen Yupei has now lost the guidance of Hui Yue, the powerful demon wolf, with his own outstanding abilities.
Thinking about it, even if there are many difficulties, he should be able to be recognized by the wolf clan and then be selected by the wolf god to become the "Wolf Prince", right?
Yan Wulu looked at Wan Yanfen in front of him carefully.
I heard that Wan Yanfen also recently changed his badge to look like the "Northern Xinjiang Wolf".
Suddenly, Yan Wulu seemed to notice something was wrong...
He quietly looked at Wan Yanfen, the king of the South Campus, in the distance in front of him, and felt that he was becoming more and more familiar.
Suddenly, a familiar text panel appeared in my mind.
Yan Wulu secretly felt that if his trip to Northern Xinjiang could be executed perfectly according to his plan, it might really be... well worth the money.
…
…
A gentle breeze blew across the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.
In late summer, the grass on the grassland is lush and green.
At this moment, two parties of people and horses stood on both sides of the grassland.
In the middle is a large gap left by both sides. The breeze blows and the grass is constantly bowing and heaving.
Wan Yanfen, the King of the South Campus, a tall and powerful man from Northern Xinjiang with countless braids on his head, drove his horse forward slowly at this moment.
In fact, after seeing the Northern Xinjiang Wolf for the first time, Yan Wulu already knew in his heart that the other party came specifically to stir up trouble.
In the Zhenbei Army, the young general Guo Siyuan drove his horse forward and said with righteousness——
"We are the envoys of Daqian and Beidi. On behalf of Daqian and Beidi, we are escorting the King of the South Campus, Wanyan Lie, who has been handed back to you."
"Humph, where is the messenger?"
Wan Yanfen's tone was extremely disdainful, and he looked down upon everyone and continued -
"...I, your Majesty, have never seen a team of envoys with so many armored swordsmen."
"... I'm afraid they are all rebels and bandits who came to make trouble in northern Xinjiang, right?"
"...If you can't prove your identity, let me capture them all!"
As Wan Yanfen spoke, his tone suddenly became loud and threatening.
It seemed that he really didn't care about the so-called Wanyan Lie's life or death.
In fact, for Wan Yan Fen, he just wanted to force Wan Yan Lie to death here!
In this way, we can not only preserve the Hetao land for Northern Xinjiang, but also eliminate a powerful political opponent, allowing ourselves to annex all the forces under the command of King Wanyan Lie Beiyuan.
A plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Why not?
As for kinship...
Yan Wulu himself became more and more suspicious that the other party and Wanyan Lie might not be related to each other.
…
Seeing that the team in front of me was even more pressing.
How had the young generals in the Zhenbei Army ever experienced such anger?
When you are full of passion and youth, you will never be able to endure Wan Yanfen's unreasonable arrogance.
Guo Siyuan, Yan Xiao, Nan Chuanyue and others have already become involved with Wanyan Fen.
For a moment, the picture turned out to be very funny...
Li Mieling's face was gloomy. He secretly drove his horse and moved to the position in the team that was closest to Wan Yanfen and not very conspicuous.
If an encounter breaks out, he prides himself on being able to end the melee as quickly as possible and capture the enemy's general's head in the midst of thousands of troops.
The war of words continues.
General Wu Yuechang of the left came to the side of the crown prince Yan Wulu.
"Your Majesty, why don't you bring Wanyan Lie here first? He can prove our identity as the envoy and ask him to persuade Wanyan Burn in front of us."
"...Otherwise, this Wanyan Fen will be like a mad dog, but it will be difficult to get over."
Wu Yue often suggested to the crown prince Yan Wulu.
Yan Wulu was thoughtful when he heard the words.
Then, he nodded slightly and ordered: "Bring it here."
Yan Wulu didn't really hope that Wanyan Lie could persuade Wanyan Fen's army to retreat.
However, it would be extremely interesting to see two powerful figures in Northern Xinjiang arguing with each other, or directly yelling at each other.
Moreover, if Wanyan Lie is able to return alive and take power again in the future, the conflict between the two will only become more serious.
The conflict in northern Xinjiang is unstable, which will only benefit the northern land and do no harm.
…
Wanyan Lie was brought up by Zhenbei Sergeant.
In the distance, Wan Yanfen, the king of the south courtyard, squinted his eyes slightly, sitting proudly on his horse and looking into the distance.
Wanyanlie walked forward.
Although he was a prisoner and walking barefoot at the moment, his momentum was not inferior to any of the generals in the two armies.
Wan Yanfen saw the other person clearly and confirmed that it was Wan Yan Lie, the Khan of Beiyuan.
Don't wait for Wanyanlie to say the first sentence.
Wanyanfen suddenly drew his bow and set an arrow. People from Northern Xinjiang were already very good at riding and archery, and Wanyanfen was the best among them!
He shot out an arrow!
The target is directly at the figure in front of the opponent's army - the former King of Northern Xinjiang Beiyuan Wanyan Lie.
Perhaps it was the good food in Yanbeicheng that made Wanyan Lie gain weight and his strength was not as good as before.
Or maybe Wan Yanfen's move was too sudden.
Wanyan Lie was unable to dodge for a moment, and saw the arrow getting closer and closer, becoming more and more deadly!
At the critical moment.
An even faster and more powerful all-black arrow shot straight through Wan Yanfen's arrow and stuck diagonally on the ground.
Wan Yanfen's arrow broke into two halves and fell to the ground without strength.
The broken arrow in front was only a size away from Wanyan Lie.
Looking along the feathery tail of the all-black arrow, Yan Wulu, the Crown Prince of Zhenbei, who was wearing [Golden Eagle Lingxiao Armor], had not yet put down the long bow in his hand.
Yan Wulu slowly attached another new all-black arrow, as if he would shoot another target again in the next moment.
Wanyan Lie remained stunned for a moment.
He would never have thought that Wan Yanfen, the king of the South Campus who was also the pillar of Northern Xinjiang with him, would actually shoot him with his own hands at this moment!
I don’t know if it is to protect the Hetao land that has been occupied by Northern Xinjiang.
Or it was to expand Wanyanfen's own power in Wanyanjin's country in northern Xinjiang.
But no matter which situation it was, Wanyan Lie only felt - is this guy crazy?!
Several of the Zhenbei sergeants immediately came forward with tower shields and brought Wanyan Lie back to the military formation.
At this time, Wanyan Lie passed by Yan Wulu's horse and glanced at Yan Wulu.
Although he knew that the other party saved him entirely for the benefit of the Zhenbei Army, he still felt an inexplicable feeling of gratitude in his heart.
On the opposite side, Wan Yanfen, the King of the South Campus of Northern Xinjiang, saw that his arrow was blocked by the opponent, but he remained calm and calm, not at all angry.
...as if his real purpose was not to kill Wanyan Lie.
He slowly raised his hand, signaling his subordinate Hu Qi to prepare to charge.
Countless horses from northern Xinjiang neighed.
On Yan Wulu's side, the bow and arrow in his hand were already aimed at Wan Yanfen, the king of the North Campus, and his sergeants also formed a charging formation under the command of various generals.
Li Mieling had already drawn his long sword and secretly drove his horse forward.
People from both sides gathered together.
Tens of thousands of cavalry horses neighed, preparing to charge and fight.
