Volume 7 Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, the young man is raising his sword Chapter 229
night.
On an unknown mountain road.
The Yibiao army was moving forward silently, not too fast, but every soldier had a dusty look on his face, as if he had been traveling for a long time.
In front of the team, there were three people riding horses.
The person on the left is actually dressed as a scribe, wearing a brown gown, with a slender face, and a short black beard under his chin. He looks quite elegant. Someone behind him is holding a flag with the word Yong!
The person on the right is very brave, with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard. He is more than nine feet tall, has a dark complexion, and is wearing heavy black gold armor. He rides a tall black horse on his crotch. The horse is black.
Translucent, bright and transparent.
What is particularly eye-catching is that he is holding a large snake spear in his hand, facing the moonlight, exuding a little bit of cold light. Someone behind him is holding a flag, which also has the word: Zhang!
The man in the middle is seven feet and five inches long, with ears hanging from his shoulders, hands above his knees, a face like a crown of jade, lips as greased, and a short beard under his chin. He is wearing a silver helmet and armor, with a cross on his back and a flower on his back.
The sword has a white horse on its crotch. The horse is all white without a trace of color.
At this time, his face was calm, his eyes were deep, and he could not see any emotion or anger.
Behind him was a person holding a flag, but there was a line of characters: Tinghou of Yucheng in the Jin Dynasty, former general, Mu of Xizhou; the last big character: Liu!
If Su Ling were here at this moment, he would be able to tell at a glance that the leading coach is none other than Guan Yunchong's elder brother, the emperor's uncle of the Jin Dynasty, and the current Xizhou Shepherd - Liu Xuanhan!
And that dark-skinned Han general was Zhang Dangyang, the third brother of Liu Xuanhan and Guan Yunchong!
As for the man dressed as a middle-aged scribe, he looked a little unfamiliar.
This Biao army was marching on the mountain road, and it seemed that they were not going very fast. Liu Xuanhan actually did not urge to speed up the march.
He just had deep eyes and looked at the black sky from time to time.
It's just that there are no stars or moon tonight, so I don't know what he sees when he raises his head.
Zhang Dangyang felt depressed, and then he spoke out: "Brother, since I left Xizhou, I feel that my eldest brother has been silent a lot. Now that we are about to reach the border of Bazhou, my eldest brother has not spoken much. Could it be that he is worried about the relationship with Bazhou?"
What about the battle in Ba City with the surname Xiao?"
When Liu Xuanhan saw his third brother asking him, he smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Third brother, the battle of Bacheng is coming after all. Since we agreed to General Shen Jizhou's joint attack on Xiao Yuan
Che, there has to be a winner. Although I'm a little worried, it's not the most important thing."
When Zhang Dangyang heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted: "Then why don't you speak? What's on your mind? You might as well tell me and let me hear it!"
Liu Xuanhan sighed and secretly recalled what happened three days ago.
Three days ago, Liu Xuanhan received a letter from the general, Bohai Marquis Shen Jizhou, inviting him to join forces to attack Xiao Yuanche in order to help the Jin Dynasty and the emperor.
In the letter, Shen Jizhou listed Xiao Yuanche's crimes and even told about the blood edict alliance.
Finally, he told Liu Xuanhan that as long as he sends troops, he does not need to worry about the frontal battlefield. He only needs to meet up with one of his light cavalry halfway. At that time, Liu and Chen's coalition forces will sneak attack Bacheng, Xiao Yuanche's military base. Once Baicheng is captured, the frontal battlefield will be destroyed.
, Xiao Yuanche will definitely be defeated, and Liu Xuanhan can even lead his army directly to the Dragon Tower of the capital, and the first achievement of protecting the emperor is Liu Xuanhan's.
Liu Xuanhan had long wanted to attack Xiao Yuanche, for the sake of restoring the Jin Dynasty, and for his own ambitions, but he lacked the opportunity. Xizhou was the smallest prefecture and county with only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the state. If he attacked,
To attack Xiao Yuanche, we cannot ignore the base camp, so the available troops are only over 10,000. Wouldn't it be wishful thinking to attack Xiao Yuanche with more than 10,000 troops?
Now was a good time. Xiao Yuanche mobilized almost all his troops to fight Shen Jizhou in Bahe. Baicheng was bound to be empty, and Shen Jizhou personally agreed to send five thousand cavalry to help.
He mobilized 20,000 troops, plus Shen Jizhou's 5,000 cavalry, and 25,000 troops to attack Ba City by surprise. It should not be difficult to capture Ba City. Therefore, Liu Xuanhan agreed to send troops without much hesitation.
However, after he gathered his troops and horses and left the border of Xizhou, the more he thought about this matter, the heavier his heart became.
Now, after walking for another two hours, at dawn, they would reach the place where they agreed to join forces with Shen Jizhou. However, Liu Xuanhan unexpectedly ordered the entire army to move slowly.
It seemed that he did not want to meet Shen Jizhou's cavalry so soon.
When Liu Xuanhan saw Zhang Dangyang asking him this question, he felt even more worried and sighed.
The middle-aged scribe next to him slowly glanced at Liu Xuanhan, suddenly smiled lightly and said: "My lord, why are you so troubled!"
When Liu Xuanhan saw this person, he also asked him, and then his expression softened. He bowed his hands to him very respectfully and said, "Xuanhan is indeed a little worried in his heart. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Yong!"
The scribe known as Mr. Yong smiled lightly and said: "I don't know what my lord is worried about. Why don't you talk to Yong Zhu about it?"
It turns out that Mr. Yong’s name is Yong Zhu.
There are many famous people in the Jin Dynasty, but if one can be called a famous person among the famous people, there must be Yong Zhu. The Yong family is a famous family born and raised in Xizhou. From the previous dynasty to the founding of the Jin Dynasty for more than 600 years, the Yong family has endured for a long time. , and its reputation is growing.
The Xizhou of the Jin Dynasty was actually the Xizhou of the Yong family!
The Yong family always boasted that they were noble, came from a wealthy family, and aspired to the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. And Yong Zhu himself was the patriarch of the Yong family of this generation.
Liu Xuanhan attacked Yongzhou by himself, and the first person he went to visit was the head of the Yong clan, Mr. Yong Zhuyong.
Yongzhu recognized him as the emperor's uncle, and he was personally granted the title of Tinghou of Yucheng, so he greeted him personally.
The two held hands and talked and hit it off immediately.
With the help of Yong Zhu, Liu Xuanhan stabilized the entire Xizhou and secured his position as the pastor of Xizhou.
And Yong Zhu even spread his family wealth to recruit troops and horses for Liu Xuanhan. Now Liu Xuanhan has tens of thousands of troops and horses, all of which are supported by Yong Zhu.
Liu Xuanhan and Yong Zhu had a heart-to-heart relationship, and personally appointed Yong Zhu to be the military advisor to offer wine. The two men discussed Xizhou's military affairs together.
The dispatch of troops to Bacheng this time was also the result of an agreement between the two.
Seeing Yong Zhu asking, Liu Xuanhan did not dare to hide anything, so he clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Mr. Yong, Xuanhan is thinking, who is the commander of Shen Jizhou's five thousand cavalry?"
Whoever Yong Zhu was, he was also a man of strategy. Liu Xuanhan only said this sentence, and Yong Zhu already knew what Liu Xuanhan was worried about.
Yong Zhu stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Under Shen Jizhou's tent, there are many generals, but when it comes to the top men, there are four generals in the Bohai Sea: Yan, Wen, Zang, and Zhang Ye!"
Liu Xuanhan nodded and sighed: "I don't know which of the four is leading the troops this time!"
When Yong Zhu heard this, he waved his hand and said with a light smile: "Don't worry, my lord, Yong thinks that the one who will lead the five thousand cavalry this time will not be any of the four generals!"
When Liu Xuanhan heard this, he was a little surprised and said: "Oh? Mr. Yong is so sure?"
Yong Zhu nodded and said: "Xiao Yuanche almost came out in force this time. How dare Shen Jizhou be careless? The strategic significance of this sneak attack on Ba City is much higher than the practical significance. In this case, how could Shen Jizhou send four generals? Here we come! According to Yong’s expectation, the person leading the troops may be one of the generals under the Four Heroes. It will definitely not be the Four Heroes."
When Liu Xuanhan heard this, his brows relaxed slightly.
When Yong Zhu saw this, he said with a clear expression: "Seeing that the two armies were about to rendezvous, the lord slowed down and delayed the rendezvous. Yong secretly thought that the lord was worried that Shen Jizhou, the commander of the army, would be too strong and take the lead. !”
When Liu Xuanhan was told the central issue, he did not hide it and nodded solemnly.
Yong Zhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, if Na will cooperate sincerely, we will work together to attack Xiao. If he has second thoughts, Yong will use a little trick to prevent him from taking back any of the five thousand cavalry. They will all return home." Lord’s account! How about it?”
When Liu Xuanhan heard this, there was a bright light in his eyes, and then he said calmly: "This is a last resort. It is best if the two families can work together!"
Yong Zhu nodded and said: "General Zhang is so famous that the commander of the army will probably give us some face no matter what!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dangyang burst into laughter and said, "We like to hear what Mr. Yong said! If the boy in charge of the army dares to be disrespectful to my elder brother, I will stab him to death with a spear!"
One sentence made Liu Xuanhan and Yong Zhu burst out laughing.
Liu Xuanhan laughed and scolded: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. It's best if you can fight the enemy with one heart!"
After this matter was over, Liu Xuanhan's face was calm, but he still did not ask the army to speed up.
He just stared at the road ahead, and although he said a few words, he was obviously a little absent-minded.
When Yong Zhu saw this, he smiled again and said, "My lord is worried about whether Ba City can be captured?"
Liu Xuanhan nodded and said: "Mr. Yong knows me. As far as I know, there are 20,000 defenders in Ba City. Xiao Yuanche's eldest son, Xiao Jianshu, is in charge. A few dozen miles southwest of Ba City is Longtai, Kyoto, where Xiao Yuanche His chief adviser Xu Wenruo commanded 20,000 elite troops. If we rush to attack Ba City, Xu Wenruo will definitely come to rescue us. Although we claim that we have 30,000 troops, in fact we only have 25,000 troops. Xu Wenruo and Xiao Jian will be comfortable when the time comes. There are 40,000 elite soldiers, Bazhou is an important military area, and the city is well defended, so we may not be able to capture it!"
Yong Zhu said calmly: "Since my lord understands this clearly, why did he still agree to Shen Jizhou's attack on Ba City?"
Liu Xuanhan looked serious and said word by word: "The emperor is in trouble and humiliated day and night. The Jin Dynasty is in danger of overthrowing. I am the royal family of the Jin Dynasty. How can I not save it? The blood edict is famous. At that time, the emperor held his hands and wept, and Xuanhan could not even cry for a moment. I don’t dare to forget. Therefore, Magistrate Xuanhan cannot violate the rules and must do it! What’s more,...”
Liu Xuanhan paused, then suddenly took out something from his sleeve, held it in his hand and said to Yong Zhu: "Mr. Yong, take a look at this!"
Yong Zhu was stunned and said: "This is?..."
Liu Xuanhan whispered: "The emperor's secret message! Since I came to Xizhou, I have used carrier pigeons to exchange messages with the emperor. This secret message was sent to me by the emperor's carrier pigeon some time ago, after Xiao Yuanche led his troops and set off!"
When Yong Zhu heard this, he looked solemn. He took the secret letter respectfully and opened it to read. He saw a piece of seal script with fair handwriting and quite elegant writing.
Emperor Xuanhan:
After a few years of separation from the capital, I lived a humiliated and secret life, dealing with the Xiao thief. However, the royal family was weak and I was powerless and wished I could cut off the Xiao thief.
Today, the general Shen Jizhou has mobilized Wang Qin's righteous troops from the Bohai Sea. However, the Xiao family is so powerful that it is difficult to predict whether they will win or lose.
However, I also know that no matter whether the Xiao and Shen families win or lose, I will not be able to escape from the predicament! The emperor's uncle also knows that there is no difference between the same raccoon dog?
Today, the Xiao thieves are all gone, and the defense in the capital is empty. There are also few soldiers in Ba City at the gate of Longtai. The Liu family of my Jin Dynasty will not be eliminated today! What's more, I stayed in the capital, and I sent an order to Xu Wenruo, who is in the Jin Dynasty. I secretly thought that this was a God-given opportunity, so I wrote to tell you, hoping that the emperor's uncle would send out the king's troops as soon as possible, attack Ba City, defeat the capital, help me trap the dragon into the sea, and rebuild the Jin Dynasty for generations to come!
I have been looking forward to it for a long time, waiting eagerly for the emperor's uncle to come, eagerly!
Yong Zhu read to the end with tears in his eyes. After reading, he solemnly handed the letter back to Liu Xuanhan and said in a trembling voice: "Yong Zhu appreciates my lord's determination to serve the country! This time Yong Zhu will do his best to help his lord." Win the battle and regain my kingdom!"
Liu Xuanhan nodded heavily and said solemnly: "Xuanhan is completely dependent on Mr. Yong!"
Yong Zhu nodded and said: "Lord, I have a good plan..."
As he spoke, he whispered in Liu Xuanhan's ear.
Liu Xuanhan nodded frequently as he listened.
Wait until Yong Zhu finishes speaking.
The worries on Liu Xuanhan's face were wiped away.
Suddenly he raised his arms and shouted: "The army obeys the order and marches forward quickly to join Shen Jizhou's five thousand cavalry as soon as possible. If there is any delay and the military aircraft is delayed, we will be killed immediately!"
The three armies shouted in unison: "Here!" This chapter has been completed!
