If you want to intercept Ye An's team, you must be faster than Ye An. The speed of Tokyo City's rush is very fast, and the fast horse has no weight to carry, let alone the burden of family members, so if Zhao Zhen wants to
It is not difficult to deliver the message quickly, but the problem is how to intercept it.
Naturally, there were people in the court who did not want Ye An to return to Ganliang smoothly, so Du Yan, who had just become the privy envoy, ordered the official documents to be passed quickly to all the prefectures that Ye An passed through on his way to the northwest. If he saw people and horses wearing armor, he would stop them all.
To solve Tokyo...
This was a dizzying order. As a civil servant, Du Yan had just taken up the post of Privy Councilor. He had no idea about the strength of Ganliang's soldiers. He also never thought that Ye An had completely controlled everything in Ganliang, including the Xilie Army and the
Huaiyuan Army.
This announcement, which came from the joint seal of the Privy Council and the Xuanhui Yuan, was delivered to the state capitals along the way as quickly as possible. Instead of having a deterrent effect, it actually made the state capitals along the way feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Zhao Zhen acquiesced to Du Yan's behavior. He could not personally issue the order, otherwise he would completely fall out with Ye An on behalf of the Tian family. However, he was not willing to let Ye An leave in such a slap in the face. From the beginning to the end, he did not want Ye An to leave.
, and don’t want Ganliang’s family to be the only one.
The state machine of the Song Dynasty began to operate, but the effect was very unsatisfactory. The defenders of Chang'an City were unwilling to fight, but no local army was willing to intercept Ye An's team after seeing it.
Five hundred fully armed Xi Lie Army cavalry, sixty elite soldiers, and the imperial court's champion general are stationed in the army, as well as the intimidating armored beast. Anyone who dares to approach is considered bold.
!
The Dingbian Army in Chang'an City was unwilling to take on this task, so Li Kangqian, the commander of the Jingzhao Prefecture, had no choice but to send troops to intercept him. He knew that if he did not send troops, the result would be the military law of Du Yan, an old man, and he would offend people no matter what.
, it is better to offend Ye An, who has already left Beijing.曃
Compared to the people in Tokyo City, the officials of the local prefecture were relatively late-minded, but they could vaguely guess something. Who knew that Yunzhong Commandery was very powerful in Ganliang, and the imperial court would never want another prefecture to appear.
, a folding family!
Knowing that Ye An's team was strong, Li Kangqian sent Qingqi to watch from a distance, but in Qingqi's eyes, this team of more than 500 people was like monsters galloping on the official road without hesitation.
The knight on horseback was shocked by the sight before him. Hiding in the woods, his legs trembled. He found that his feet could no longer move forward. The black armored beast was galloping on the ground like a demon. He
He didn't dare to get close, for fear of being discovered by this team and swallowed up.
After a fight between heaven and man, the scouts got on their horses and rushed to Xingping County as quickly as possible, where Qian Xi was leading a total of 1,500 people to intercept them.
People can fight against humans, beasts, and barbarians, but they cannot fight against monsters!
The galloping knight returned to his station in Xingping County. He ignored Pao Ze's teasing at the door and rushed into the camp as quickly as possible. He said to Li Kang: "Uncle..."
"What kind of uncle?! In the army, you should be called Qianjia, the general!"
Li Kangqian was very dissatisfied with his nephew's reckless behavior. There was Sima in the army next to him. It was not good for others to hear him. He also planned to run the army strictly, but now his words were ruined. This is the most taboo in the army.
Sima Tian Shizhen smiled slightly: "Wu Duan is young and his character still needs to be polished. He can't do anything. Have you seen the troops of Yunzhong Junhou?"
Li Butuan nodded sharply and looked at Tian Shizhen, who was a little embarrassed. Li Kangqian beside him couldn't stand it even more. He kicked him and said, "I'll tell you what I saw. Is there a sense of military aura that scares you?"
"Look, Ye Hou's team is about 500 people. They are all cavalry and there are no infantry. They are riding two horses. They are very fast. They have arrived at Shuitou Pi. It only takes half an hour to reach outside Xingping County!"
Li Kangqian raised his eyebrows suddenly, while Tian Shizhen beside him said loudly: "Impossible! How can it be so fast?! Does he, Ye An, dare to be so reckless and gallop?! He is not afraid of hurting people... "
"No one dared to stop on the official road, and no one dared to block Ye Hou's team... There was an iron-clad beast in the marching team, with a sound like thunder and a speed like a galloping horse..."
Li Kangqian touched the beard on his chin and frowned: "If you can rush all the way from Tokyo City to our Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid that the state capitals along the way would not dare to stop you, and they did not stop you. After all, Ye Hou has a good reputation and has five hundred spirits in his hands. Riding..." He completely ignored the monster described by his nephew. He had never seen such scenes in the army, where could the monster come from, and the ridiculous words.
Tian Shizhen stood up and walked around in the military tent, then took out the document from his sleeve and handed it to Li Kangqian and said: "The secret order from the central government is to defeat Ye An's troops. If they can capture them alive, it would be best. If not, they must be eliminated." There will be no future troubles for the country! But the only thing I have to do is leave the armored vehicle behind, Tokyo City wants that thing."
Li Kangqian hurriedly took the document and looked at it, then took a breath and said: "The prefix "official" is still attached to it? This... Privy Du, Yan participated in politics, and the rich participated in politics all used seals, so we can't stop it even if we don't stop it? !”
Tian Shizhen nodded slightly: "The purpose this time is to stop Ye Anxi from going to the West. This is an official document signed by an important minister in the court and cannot be faked. But remember that it has nothing to do with the official family. If you dare to leak it..."
Seeing Tian Shizhen's sinister gaze, Li Kangqian immediately trembled and said: "Don't worry, you don't dare to leak the news! Wu Duan, you must completely forget what happened today!"
Li Butuan immediately said: "I have never appeared here before!" After saying that, he strode away. He didn't know the seriousness of the situation. The less interference, the better...
Fifteen hundred people are already quite a lot, and they are still the elite of the Dingbian Army in Jingzhao Prefecture. As a military commander, Li Kangqian can only mobilize so many people in non-war times. No matter how many more people there are, he will not be able to save his head.
If Tian Shizhen hadn't been there to protect him, he would not have mobilized so many troops to kill him. Tian Shizhen still felt that it was not safe and planned to ask him to mobilize another 2,000 people to encircle him.
Li Kangqian was a little angry and looked down on people too much. Although the 1,500 Ding border troops were infantry, they could not break through the cavalry as long as they formed a military formation. The troops were divided into three groups to intercept Ye An's team in front of Xingping County. It's no problem at all. If horse traps, horse ropes, and caltrops are laid out, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, they won't be able to charge forward!
But what he could think of was that Ye An could also imagine that these five hundred cavalry were not only skilled on horseback, but also powerful soldiers in infantry combat and equipped with Ganliang's latest muskets. How could they rely entirely on cavalry to charge? That's impossible. This method of warfare has been thoroughly and flexibly used by the Xi Lie Army and the Huaiyuan Army.
Li Kangqian had flanking cavalry, and Ye An also had them here. He was well aware of Li Kangqian's interception of his subordinates in Xingping County, but Qin Mumu's intention was to bypass Xingping County and avoid a direct conflict with Li Kangqian.
There were almost no obstacles along the way, but someone wanted to block their way in Jingzhao Mansion. This was undoubtedly the work of the big boss in the court. Ye An shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid this battle cannot be avoided. Even if we can avoid Jingzhao Mansion, The interception, do you think we can avoid the interception at Qinfeng Road? The further west we go, the harder it will be. We must show our prestige in this battle so that the northwest generals will not dare to take advantage of us!"
"We still have children here..."
Ye An looked back at the three little guys and said, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Look, they are not afraid of you. Don't you know that we are fighting an asymmetric war? The era of hot weapons has arrived. Since it was not started by the Song Dynasty, let me fire the first shot! Don't Forgot, I am known as the Demon General on the battlefield, maybe Li Kangqian’s cavalry will flee when they see me..."
