No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 478 Gaoyu Invasion!

When the three of them returned to the army, there was a temporary truce on the battlefield ahead.

In the big tent, Xie Yangang and several generals had just finished their discussions. Seeing Luo Jun Yao come in, the few people who were about to leave hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted.

General Hu, who was in charge of today's battle, looked at Luo Junyao with even more gratitude, "I really have to thank the princess today." The regent princess not only helped them prepare gunpowder, but even went to the battlefield in person without fear of danger, which really helped them a lot.

It was only natural that he would say thank you in person.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "General, you are being polite, is the battle going well?"

General Hu said with a smile: "With the help of the princess, if it doesn't go well, the general will have no face to come back to see the prince and the concubine."

"That's good." Luo Junyao didn't ask carefully, watching the three of them leave.

There were only two people left in the big tent, Xie Yan pulled Luo Junyao to his side for a closer look, and he was relieved to make sure she was not injured.He just looked at her helplessly and said, "Let's take another risk."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a risk. It's just to scare those two boys."

If it was really just to help the Zhen Guojun blow up a cannon, she definitely had a more silent method, and it really didn't need to make such a big battle.

Xie Yan shook his head, pulled Luo Junyao to the table and sat down, saying: "You just came back, and you've been so busy these days, take a good rest, don't go back and scare your father-in-law."

Luo Junyao leaned against his chest, and said with a smile: "Since no one else in the army is fighting for their lives, why should I stay behind and play? What do the people below think of you, the regent, and me, the princess?"

Xie Yan had no choice but to say, "Who would mind this? You will scare them by acting too hard."

This is true, even if Luo Jun is the regent princess and does nothing in the army, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, no one will have any objections.

After all, if Xie Yan did nothing, others would criticize him, but no one would think that a princess should go to the battlefield to charge.

This is still in the Zhen Guo Army, the soldiers under the Zhen Guo Army have extraordinary trust and respect for Xie Yan, Xie Yan thinks that the princess has the ability, and the generals below will agree.

If she was in another army, even if Luo Junyao expressed her willingness to help, others would probably think she was fooling around.

"How's the battle going today?" Luo Junyao changed the subject.

Xie Yan said: "The terrain of Fengling Mountain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. The cannons that were abolished today should not be able to replenish them in a short time. However, it may take some time to completely take Fengling Mountain."

"So powerful?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised.

After all, the Qingzhou rebels are only soldiers stationed there, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely impossible to compare with the experienced Zhen Guo army.

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "It should be said that the people who command the soldiers and horses on the mountain are powerful. The Fengling Mountain rebels have no intention of killing the enemy. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack them, they will stand firm."

"Procrastination?"

Xie Yan nodded, and reached out to a message next to him: "The letter Xie Xiao just sent back, nearly 20 soldiers and horses have gathered near Qingzhou City. In addition, there is also news from the north that Gao Yu people sent [-] soldiers and horses. The soldiers of thistles went south to invade Yanzhou."

Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan who was still calm, Xie Yan looked at her and smiled calmly, stretched out his hand to rub her hair and said, "Don't worry."

Luo Junyao felt that Xie Yan was too calm, how could he not worry about this situation?

"The rebel army in Qingzhou is so powerful that other surrounding areas may not be ready to move. I'm afraid the current garrison in Yanzhou may not be the opponent of the Gao Yu people. If the Gao Yu people go all the way to Qingzhou to join the rebel army, five The Wanzhen National Army and the [-] Wuwei Army who have never fought can't handle it, right?" Luo Jun frowned.

"There is also the Qi clan. Although the Qi clan was defeated and conceded defeat before, if there are internal changes in Dasheng now, they may not make a comeback." Luo Junyao analyzed seriously.

Xie Yan looked at her with focused and deep eyes.

"Yaoyao is right, there is also southern Xinjiang." For example, Xie Yan said: "Since Qingzhou and Gao Yu are in trouble, southern Xinjiang will definitely not be idle. However, as long as we can hold on in southern Xinjiang, neither will northern Xinjiang." Something will happen."

Hearing what he said, Luo Junyao couldn't help but feel a little worried about her elder brother.

After thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more worried I become.

Seeing her tangled appearance, Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckled.

"Southern Xinjiang is a piece of loose sand. Except for Luan Yisi and those people, there is nothing to worry about." Xie Yan embraced her and said, "You don't have to worry about it, you have to have confidence in Jinyan."

"Then why are you stopping here at Fengling Mountain?"

Xie Yan said: "Not only the Cao family needs time to make arrangements, but we also need it."

Hearing that Luo Jun Yao realized something, he thought for a while and said, "Are you waiting for reinforcements?"

Xie Yan sighed and said: "These years of laissez-faire in Qingzhou have been too much. If it weren't for the matter of Yunhai Academy that made us find out that something was wrong in advance, I'm afraid we won't know until Cao Mian raises his troops. I came in a hurry, and soldiers and horses everywhere Without the mobility of the Zhen Guojun, it will take time to mobilize troops everywhere."

"It stands to reason that General Hu and General Xu should be enough to deal with Fengling Mountain." Luo Junyao looked at him and said, "Where are you going?"

In fact, it is unreasonable for Xie Yan to personally come to Qingzhou to suppress the rebellion. No matter what, the Cao family is only in Qingzhou, and it is enough to send a few senior generals of the Zhen Guojun.No matter how bad it is, Xie Yan should sit in Shangyong and let Luo Yun lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

Instead of being like this now, it's just the opposite.

Xie Yan smiled and said, "Naturally going north."

"I'm with you." Luo Jun shook his head.

Xie Yan looked at her and frowned slightly and said: "I'm afraid this trip will be very difficult, you just came back from the sea, why don't you stay here and wait for Xie Xiao to come back and go north with him?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said firmly: "I'm fine, when are we leaving?"

Xie Yan sighed lightly and said, "Tonight."

Xie Yan said that this trip was difficult, but it was really difficult.

Except for the personal guard Xie Yan who didn't bring many soldiers and horses, a party of no more than a dozen people rode out of the camp late at night, and headed for Yanzhou in the north.

The speed on the road was so fast that there was almost no stop to rest. Compared with the previous speed when Luo Junyao and others came to Qingzhou from Shangyong, I don't know how much faster.

A group of people rushed to Yanzhou from Qingzhou in just four days.

"The last general kowtows to the prince!" Stationed in Yanzhou are 1 people under the command of the Zhen Guojun and [-] local soldiers and horses in Yanzhou.

Although Yanzhou is also a frontier, it has never been the main route for the nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall to invade the Central Plains. There are thousands of miles of mountains and the Great Wall pass to block it, so [-] garrisons are more than enough.

This time the Gaoyu people sent [-] soldiers and horses to enter the pass from here, which really caught Dasheng by surprise.

The Gaoyu people were brave and good at fighting, and ordinary soldiers and horses were no match for them.

Originally, the imperial court did not expect the local garrison to completely block these foreign soldiers and horses. As long as they could defend the first wave of attack, reinforcements would naturally arrive later.

"Yan Li, the deputy general of the Yanzhou Army, welcomes the prince!"

Xie Yan glanced at the general standing in front of him, and walked into the camp without stopping, "What's the situation with Gao Yu?"

The general looked like he was in his early forties, and he was wearing the uniform of a local garrison general, so he was obviously not from the Zhen Guo Army.

"My lord, a few days ago the eldest prince of Gao Yu, He Ruo Muti, and the brother of King Gao Yu, He Ruoqiemo, attacked Yanzhou and Liangzhou in two ways. Lead [-] troops to attack Liangzhou. Just received the news last night that King Gao Yu added another [-] reinforcements to attack Liangzhou. The Zhen Guojun was dragged in Liangzhou and had no time to take care of Yanzhou."

Hearing this, Luo Junyao, who was by Xie Yan's side, couldn't help but said, "Did the people of Gao Yu send 20 troops at a time? Is this a plan to fight with the power of the whole country?"

Gaoyu is located in the northeast of Dasheng. Most of its territory is forested, and a small part is grassland. The area is not as large as Yanzhou and the population is sparse.

The 25 army is almost Gao Yu's limit, and it may even be necessary to completely drain Gao Yu's domestic defense forces.

Yan Li couldn't help raising his eyes and glanced at Luo Jun, hesitating whether he should answer or not.

Xie Yan said: "This is the princess."

"I have seen the princess." Yan Li hurriedly clasped his fists in salute, and then said: "The princess doesn't know something. Although Gao Yu has a small population, all the young and old in the clan are brave and good at fighting. Moreover, Gao Yu people make a living by hunting, herding sheep and horses, and plundering. It’s not the same as my situation in Dasheng. Dasheng recruits troops, and one out of ten people can’t bear it. However, barbarians outside the Great Wall like Gao Yu can do it five or six out of ten, and even the whole clan, young and old, go to the battlefield .In addition, at the beginning of the year, the Gaoyu people annexed Jurong, Baiyi and other tribes. If the whole country really wants to go to war, they can send at least another 20 troops.”

Luo Junyao was a little surprised, turned to look at Xie Yan, Xie Yan nodded slightly.

A group of people entered the big tent and sat down, Xie Yan asked: "Where is He Ruomuti now?"

Yan Li said in a rather impressive way: "The last general is incompetent, the Gaoyu people suddenly launched an attack, and He Ruomuti led the army to conquer two cities within five days. News came this morning that Gaoyu's soldiers rushed to Jianling, and the town General Jiang Yan led the army to support the Marquis of Yueyang who is stationed at Jianling."

Xie Yan glanced at the map on one side of the wall, and said calmly: "In ten days, let He Ruomuti fight all the way to Jianling. The Yanzhou Army is really capable."

Yan Li blushed, he could only lower his head and dare not speak.

"Where did Wu Yi go?"

Xie Yan asked, "Jiang Guanmu is building the mausoleum, what is Wu Yi, the deputy commander of the Yanzhou Army, doing? Who is the guard at Chixia Pass?"

Yan Li's face changed slightly, he shook his head and lowered his head and said, "Return, return to the prince, General Wu...Wu Yi, surrendered to the enemy."

There was silence in the big tent. Although Xie Yan didn't get angry, everyone felt out of breath.

Yan Li hurriedly said: "It's not...it's not that the generals did not report it. The Gaoyu people suddenly entered the customs that day, and the generals didn't know why. They only thought that He Ruomuti raided the Chixia Pass, and that's why I was able to... They all thought that General Wu Yi either died in battle and died for his country, or led his troops to retreat and enter the pass. A few days ago, General Jiang of the Zhenguo Army sent someone back, saying...that it was Wu Yi who sent Chixia Pass to Gao Yu people! That's why Gao Yu people entered the pass quietly and attacked Xinting. When we received the news, Gao Yu people had already occupied Xinting city."

Xie Yan closed his eyes, and soon opened them again with clarity.

"First Feng Wei and then Wu Yi, Cao Mian, you are doing well." Xie Yan said lightly.

"My lord, what should I do now...?" Yan Li asked worriedly.

Although the regent came, he did not bring troops.

It is already difficult for the Yanzhou army to deal with He Ruomuti's [-] barbed terriers. If the Gaoyu people send more troops to Yanzhou, I'm afraid...

Xie Yan asked: "How many soldiers and horses are there right now?"

The general said: "Back, back to the prince, there are less than 2 people."

"Send the order to rectify the whole army immediately, and follow the king to Jianling City."

The general was shocked when he heard the words, and hesitantly said: "My lord, if the [-] soldiers are transferred away, there will be no soldiers in the southeast of Yanzhou."

Xie Yan glanced at him, and said: "If Jianling cannot be contained, the entire Yanzhou will be flat and flat for the Gaoyu people to gallop. Do you expect Jiang Yan's [-] Township National Army and [-] Yanzhou Army to guard Jianling?"

Originally, Chixia Pass was the best barrier for one man to guard the pass and ten thousand men not to open it. It was extremely correct for the Yanzhou Army to choose to station [-] soldiers and horses there.

If it hadn't been for Wu Yi's treason, with these [-] soldiers and horses stationed at Chixia Pass, Gao Yu might not be able to close the gate even if he had [-] soldiers and horses without two or three months.

In contrast, Jianling is not suitable for defense.

But it is also the only place in the west of Yanzhou that can be defended except for Chixia Pass. Once Jianling falls into the hands of Gaoyu people, the whole Yanzhou will be open to Gaoyu people to come in and go out.

It is also because of this that Jiang Yan only has [-] soldiers and horses to rush to help.

"Yes, my lord." Yan Li was a little trembling, and quickly responded: "The general understands, let's prepare now! The general will leave!"

Looking at Yan Li's back in a hurry, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan exchanged glances.Luo Junyan's eyes were worried, while Xie Yan's eyes were filled with hidden anger.

Although it's not good to make a conclusion after just meeting him once, this deputy general of the Yanzhou Army really doesn't look like a qualified general.

Looking at her worried eyes, Xie Yan said: "In a few days, Gu Jue will be able to bring people to arrive."

Luo Jun frowned and said, "You just said that that...Wu Yi's defection to the enemy has something to do with Cao Mian?"

Xie Yan said coldly: "Wu Yi has a deep blood feud with Gao Yuren. He is already the deputy commander of the Yanzhou Army and has a high position. Gao Yuren alone can't talk about him."

"It seems that in the past ten years, Cao Mian really did not plan in vain." Luo Jun said, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Yan squeezed the center of his eyebrows, and said: "Originally, I hoped to rest for a few years before doing other things. Now that Gao Yu people have taken the initiative to start a war, they can only settle it quickly."

Luo Jun shook his head, stretched out his arms to hug him and said, "I'll help you."

She knew that Xie Yan didn't want to fight in the past two years, and it was really miserable for the common people to fight for years.If the fight continues, it will not only cause a reputation for being militaristic, but more importantly, the people of Dasheng will really be unable to hold on.

Speaking of Dasheng, it is indeed a bit bumpy. Although it has been 30 years since the founding of the country, it was the last year of Gaozu that the Central Plains was completely peaceful. After that, he fought with the Qi people for more than ten years.

Most importantly, in just 30 years, the throne has passed to the third generation.Now Ah Cheng is still a child who can't do anything, the founding fathers are old and dying, almost everything is on Xie Yan alone.

I hope that the battle can be resolved quickly, and everyone can have a few more years of peace and tranquility.

Xie Yan smiled, and said softly: "It's hard work."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Finish the battle early so that we can go back to Shangyong. I miss my father and the others a little bit."

"it is good."
