Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 479

The forefront of the Qin State in Guanbei is the Gu'an Camp, which drives straight in and is only more than 100 miles away from Youzhou. The Qin Army built a strong camp and castle here, stationed twelve battalions of elite soldiers, and [-] people. At that time, Li Hanchao, the commander-in-chief of the three towns in Guanbei, the capital of Gu'an's elite soldiers.

However, the direct leader was General Qin, and Murong Yanzhao was the commander of the forwards in Guanbei.

Compared with Li Hanchao, who paid more attention to the people's livelihood in Guanbei, the Liao people were more impressed with Murong Yanzhao. Many years ago, he followed Shi Congyun and defeated the Liao army. After that, he was also the fiercest one in Guanbei. Before the peace talks, he often led troops north to the vicinity of Youzhou, attacked the outposts, and ransacked the villages.

In the north of Gu'an, Xiao Hunian led more than a dozen soldiers to observe the Qin army's camp across the Wuding River. She is nineteen years old, dressed in military uniform, with a broken horse bow and long sword, and the large army is in the village behind. rest.

There are more than 1000 private soldiers of the Xiao family in Nanjing, most of them are strong and strong fighters, and all the big families don't like to support idlers.

Xiao Hunian stared closely at the two dark cannons in the outer city of the Qin Army's camp in the distance. They were facing the only bridge on the Wuding River. Everyone knew the power of those things. The power of the Qin Army's cannons was very famous in the south.

But in fact, the Liao Kingdom has not really tried the power of the Qin Army's new artillery. When Shi Congyun first attacked the north, there was no artillery. He only used rockets to make the Liao Army turmoil, but there were not many casualties. not deep.

In the second Battle of Hedong, the outcome was determined by taking Taiyuan in a surprise attack after arching around. Their reinforcements ran into the main force of the Qin army and were directly defeated.

However, the news from the south has not been cut off. The powerful artillery and the power of the Qin Dynasty's Shenhuo Army have been spread by word of mouth. The Liao Kingdom sent many spies to the south, but it was useless, and many of them were directly killed by the Qin Kingdom.

In the north, the cannons in Gu'an have never been fired for several years, but she heard businessmen from the south say that that kind of cannon can fire iron balls weighing several kilograms, and the power can easily penetrate the wall, and hitting people is a dead end One, no armor can resist it.

She thought of Qin Jun's bed crossbow, which can sometimes shoot through walls, and her interest dropped a lot.

But she was still curious, thinking that one day the cannons in Gu'an would be able to fire a shot, but what she wanted more was to lead troops there by herself, capture there, and take those two black cannons.

To this day, she can't forget the insult she received in Daliang when she went south, and sooner or later she will take revenge on Shi Congyun.

Before, she thought that if she married her uncle, she would be able to control his army, but something changed recently, her father felt that she had been treated badly and allowed her to take charge of the family's private soldiers in the South Courtyard.

She was satisfied with it.
Looking at the Qin army camp, these days, she thought of all kinds of news about Shi Congyun. He wiped out another country in Lingnan a few years ago. He heard from Uncle Gao that the country had more than [-] troops. The territory is in the south of the mountains, by the sea, and there are forests everywhere. The weather is extremely hot. People there eat rice as their main food and like to go topless.

Shi Congyun defeated them in one year and destroyed their country. I heard that this year he sent troops to the Tang country in the south of the Yangtze River to capture it. He is warlike and unreasonable.

But it is precisely because his army is in the south that there is a chance in the north.

Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep!

If it can be intercepted, it will be a huge fortune for the Xiao family, and most importantly, it will definitely make Shi Congyun furious but helpless, she is very happy when she thinks of this.

"We have to change the guard and go to bed at night, and the news here must always be told to father and they know." Xiao Hunian instructed that tomorrow they will send envoys to the camp of the Qin army to explain, because this year's weather is not good, and the livestock cannot be handed over. information.

At the same time, more than 2 troops assembled in the north were mobilized outside Youzhou City to exert pressure.

In this way, Shi Congyun had to give in no matter what.

The next day, the sky was red, and envoys from Nanjing entered the Qin Army's Gu'an camp early in the morning under the escort of Xiao Hunian's personal soldiers.

They have already talked about this matter before, and this time it is to explain their final attitude.

Xiao Hunian was actually very nervous. Under the guard of many personal soldiers, he and Qiaotou Avenue looked anxiously at the Qin army camp in the distance. The soldiers over there also looked at her curiously and pointed.

She was afraid that the Qin State would turn against him on the spot. They had already learned how powerful the Qin Army was. Although they hated their lord, she had to admit that no one in the world could confront Shi Congyun head-on, because he had an invincible army. army.

After hesitating and waiting for a long time, she finally waited for the envoy to come out. It seemed that the Qin people did not embarrass him. There was also a man in armor who looked like an officer riding a horse to see him across the bridge, and then turned around and turned back. The muzzle of the black hole has been aimed at them.

Seeing this, Xiao Hunian was excited, "Did they agree?"

The envoy looked strange, shook his head and nodded again, "They didn't say anything, they only said that the emperor had given instructions, saying"

"say what?"

The envoy was about to cry, and imitating the words of the people of Qin, he said in Khitan: "If you want to keep the cattle and sheep, go back and gather your army. You have broken the contract, and we will no longer abide by it."

Xiao Hunian was taken aback for a moment, then his heart beat wildly, and he said in disbelief, "Did you hear me right?"

"No, that's what they mean in Chinese." The messenger said quickly, he is a Han living in Youzhou, and he understands both Chinese and Khitan.

Xiao Hunian was in a state of confusion, what's going on, isn't Shi Congyun afraid?His army is in the south of the Yangtze River, aren't they afraid of going to war with the Liao Kingdom in the north?

Distraught, she quickly ordered the soldiers around her, "Rush back immediately and tell father about this matter, run as fast as you can."

The soldiers nodded again and again, then Ji galloped away.

Xiao Hunian himself planned to stay and check the situation around here to see if the Qin army really wanted to send troops.

It wasn't until this time that she really panicked. You must know that the king ignores the government. This matter is their own initiative to seize cattle and sheep. If a war is really provoked, will the king be punished? Whether the army in the north will support it is not certain.

They originally thought that the state of Qin would definitely tolerate their behavior, just like more than ten years ago, when the south was still the Zhou Dynasty, their father took advantage of their attack on the south of the Yangtze River and seized several counties in the north. Pretend you didn't see it, because you dare not start a war on both sides.

It stands to reason that they didn't send troops, they only detained some cattle and sheep, Shi Congyun shouldn't do this.
At noon, Xiao Hunian on the hill on the north bank of the Wuding River was completely desperate. The horns were blown in the Gu'an camp, and the flags were everywhere. Gathered on the north bank of the Daliao Kingdom.

There were more and more people and horses. In just two quarters of an hour, she vaguely felt that the number was close to 1. Their banners were like a new forest growing by the river, and their front line stretched for two or three miles along the river.

madman!Wolf!
The whip in Xiao Hunian's hand was almost unsteady, and the pride in the morning was gone, and it turned into a deep-seated fear. Shi Congyun, that tyrant, lunatic, he was really going to start a war against them for the sake of cattle and sheep!
Is he going to take the initiative to attack the main force when they are still in the south of the Yangtze River?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hunian did not dare to stay any longer. If she stayed any longer, she might not be able to leave. She immediately galloped north with a dozen soldiers around her. walk on the path.

Shi Congyun may not know, he may just be angry for a while, and the blind cat bumps into a dead mouse, but she understands the situation in the country very well. Few people are very dissatisfied with the king, and all forces are ready to move, including their father.

Today's Great Liao Kingdom cannot withstand a major war. If the Qin army really launches an attack, the result will be unimaginable.

It is very likely that His Majesty will not pay attention to them at all, and will not support this war initiated by the South Court simply wanting to embezzle financial resources, and will not send troops to support it.Even if they support, the father and others will definitely be liquidated for this reason.

Xiao Hunian was very annoyed, and while speeding his horse to the north, he was resentful at Shi Congyun's luck. He sent troops recklessly without thinking, and hit their weakness
