Chapter 208
North Customs.

Tamaki County in June is bright and bright everywhere.

Xiao Zheng was standing on the top of the city, looking at the vast North Sea to the east, his face was ashen.

"General," personal guard Xiao Yong comforted him: "Don't be angry. Without Xingji City's instructions, it's understandable that General Huang and General Tian don't want to send troops to Baekje."

snort!
Xiao Zheng snorted coldly.

understand?

How to understand.

Baekje issued three requests for help in succession, one more anxious than the other.

At the time of the first call for help, the Japanese pirates had just defeated the navy of Baekje and were still wandering near the coastline; and at the third call for help, the Japanese pirates had already approached the capital of Baekje.

It's never too late, if you don't send troops to rescue this small vassal country now, it may be too late.

To really let the Japanese pirates gain a firm foothold in Baekje, and then transport a large number of people from the mainland.With their insatiable temperament, they will definitely attack Yun Chui with Bei Xiong in a few days.

At that time, Beihai Customs will face enemies on two or even three sides.The increased difficulty of defense is not more than 01:30 points.

Xiao Yong had heard Xiao Zheng's explanation before, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "Perhaps the two generals of Huang Tian have their own ideas, why don't we patiently explain to them later?"

"Explanation?" Xiao Zheng was even more annoyed when he heard it.

He never explained the power of it during the meeting.However, no matter how many times they said it, Huang Shitao, the general guarding the North Customs, and Tian Hongyan, a member of the Wild Goose Legion, all had weird looks on their faces.

Seeing Xiao Zheng leaving angrily, Huang Shitao shook his head.

"This Xiao Zheng is really not a thing. On the surface, he keeps saying that he is going to rescue the small vassal country of Baekje, but in fact, who doesn't know his little thoughts?"

"Isn't it because he was eager to preserve the inheritance passed down from his ancestors, so he wanted to fight everywhere? He really didn't care about the lives of his soldiers."

As for the siege that Xiao Zheng said, it was just unfounded worries.

No matter how small Baekje is, it is still a country like Nambong.

The Xingluo Legion, Zhennanguan, the four southern counties plus Baoxiang, and the two small countries of Vientiane besieged Nanfeng together, and it took more than two months to destroy it.

The Japanese pirates' homeland is still separated by the sea, and their strength is far less than that of the south. It will take a long time and a lot of blood to completely capture Baekje.

And now it's the end of June.

In a few months, Yumu, Yanhui and even Jinghu County will be covered with ice and snow.At that time, it will be too cold for people and horses to travel, and both Beixiong and Japanese pirates will have to stop and survive the winter obediently.

They can spend another year leisurely and leisurely.

Without orders from Xingji City, why bother to take care of Baekje's messy things?
Tian Hongyan of the Yanhui Legion gave him a deep look, stood up and cupped his hands, and strode out with his personal guards.

"General," his personal guard lowered his voice, "Huang Shitao, who is just passing by, is actually able to sit firmly as the general guard at the North Customs. He is lucky."

Tian Hongyan didn't speak, but just looked back with mixed feelings.

When they were in Guangxin County in the south, the Yanhui Legion was severely scolded by Emperor Changxing and the Ministry of War directly in an official document.

After finally returning to his hometown, Tian Hongyan still wanted to work hard to do something for his parents and fellow villagers in his hometown.As a result, some time ago, they suddenly received the news of Nanfeng's destruction of the country, and the entire Yanhui Legion was stunned, and they were so ashamed that they almost couldn't lift their heads.

Therefore, after receiving the news of the request for help, Tian Hongyan, like Xiao Zheng, intends to go east to rescue Baekje.

However, he is not Wei Junqian after all.Without news from Xingji City, Tian Hongyan didn't dare to act rashly.

It's okay to win, but if he loses the battle, someone else will be responsible for the skillful use of soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Tian Hongyan could only remain silent during the meeting.

After leaving Beihai Customs, the personal guard couldn't help but say, "General, do you think General Xiao will send troops by himself?"

Tian Hongyan shook her head, "Probably not."

Xiao Zheng didn't have the confidence that he would be able to defeat the Japanese pirates and rescue Baekje. The most important thing was that he didn't have much food in his hands.

It is not great but stupid to travel thousands of miles to save people on an empty stomach.

On the top of the city, Xiao Zheng was also thinking about where his 3 people should go.

Just as he was thinking about something, a messenger came quickly behind him.

"General, Prince Qi has just arrived at Beiguan. He wants to see you?"

Xiao Zheng lifted his spirits, "Prince Qi has finally arrived? Lead the way!"

A group of people wandered around Beihaiguan and arrived in front of a large independent courtyard.

Several people greeted him at the gate of the courtyard.The person standing in front of him with a tired smile on his face was none other than Qi Wang Chen Xiuzhu.

Xiao Zheng hurriedly took a few steps, but before he could speak, Chen Xiuzhu laughed and said, "Uncle Xiao, oh no, General Anbei! Long time no see."

"...My lord was joking."

It's been a while.

At that time, when Xiao was in Xingji City, he would visit Prince Qi's mansion from time to time, and even wanted to marry his prostitute daughter to Chen Xiuzhu.

It's a pity that Qi Wang's mansion has been talking about it all the time, neither agreeing nor rejecting it.

In the end, under the instruction of his grandfather, Luo Ken, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Xiuzhu married another noble daughter as the princess.

The two entered the main hall and sat down as the guest of honor.

After chatting a few more words, Xiao Zheng's eyes fell on the people behind Chen Xiuzhu, "These people are..."

Chen Xiuzhu didn't hide anything: "They are all guests of this king."

He introduced it casually.

Chen Xiuzhu really regarded this trip to the north as an important experience, or a comparison between the princes.Therefore, in addition to the guards, he also took all the counselors.

"It's a pity that we didn't find anyone who can predict the weather, cross the river, and find the way to detect the enemy's situation." Chen Xiuzhu felt a little regretful.

He had studied the military newspaper sent back from the south in detail, and felt that Ren Ning was elusive when he led the team to attack Hushou Pass.Later, after discussing with his grandfather Luo Ken several times, he wanted to look around for some special talents and planned to take them for his own use.

It's just that the reason why a wizard is called a wizard is not so easy to find. In the end, he was about to go north, and Chen Xiuzhu still found nothing.

"King Qi, don't worry." Xiao Zheng smiled and made a big circle: "The Yanhui Legion, the North Customs Guards, and the East Sea Barrier led by this general are all fierce frontier guards. They may not be as strong as General Wei of the Starfall Legion." There are a lot of strange people, but there are still some."

Chen Xiuzhu was overjoyed, and asked repeatedly: "When will the army set off?"

"Departure?" Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but his face was full of astonishment, "I don't know what it means for the prince's army to depart?"

He said: "Ever since I heard that Nanfeng Hushouguan was broken, the pace of Beixiong's forward going south has slowed down. Later, although they moved hundreds of miles slowly, after hearing that Nanfeng was destroyed, they completely stopped. Stay where you are."

"There are still thousands of miles away from Beixiong. We don't have enough food and grass, so we don't plan to go north and confront Beixiong head-on."

Chen Xiuzhu patiently listened to him, and then raised his hand and pointed to the east.

"The king is not talking about the north, but the Baekje in the east. Didn't they issue three rescue orders?"

"Why, didn't the three generals receive it?"

"It turns out that the prince said it was Baekje. Baekje's distress letter was naturally received." Xiao Zheng suddenly realized, "It's just that the main purpose of leading the army to the north this time is to resist the invasion of Beixiong in the south, not to rescue Baekje in the east. .”

"Soldiers take serving orders as their bounden duty. If there is no instruction from His Majesty or the Ministry of War, I will not be able to dispatch the army at will."
