Just as Gong Xushan said during the discussion with Yuan Miaoyi, the Tata'er Department had obviously learned the lesson from last time and came prepared.

The official road connecting Xijin City and Jinyun City was immediately cut off by the Tatar tribe's cavalry as soon as the war started.

Fortunately, there were enough supplies stored in Jinyun City, so Gong Xushan did not divide his troops to compete with Tata'er's rangers for this important road.

After all, the Tata'er tribe had tried to attack the cities of Xijin and Shuofang first, and then besieged Jinyun City, but the last defeat had proved that this road was absolutely unworkable.

Only then did the Tata'er tribe come back to their senses as to why Rouran had been repeatedly defeated at the hands of the Xiao family and his son, but always refused to give up her plan to invade Youzhou from Jinyun City.

Because this is the only feasible plan.

If you want to drive straight into the hinterland of Dayan, you must bite the hard nut of Jinyun City.

The Tatar tribe could no longer endure any more defeats, and this time it was clear that they were willing to risk their lives, and the offensive was extremely fierce.

Gong Xushan estimated that the food and grass in Jinyun City would be enough to feed the entire city for a month or two. Therefore, after weighing the situation, he gave up the official path and concentrated his troops to defend Jinyun City.

Although Jinyun City must concentrate its forces to defend it, the defenders of Yijin and Shuofang City are not vegetarians, so the competition for this official road is also very fierce. Today it belongs to Tataer, and tomorrow it will be back to Dayan. In hand, the losses on both sides were not small.

The two cities of Xijin and Shuofang saw that Tata'er had pressed heavy troops under Jinyun City. They did not dare to send out all the defenders in case the city was empty. Tata'er's troops turned around and came back to attack them, but they sent out cavalry to help Jinyun City. Array grazing is absolutely no problem.

Although the Tatar tribe has occasionally won small victories, these small victories are useless. In general, the war has been a stalemate.

Gong Xushan has been able to sit firmly in Fan Yang Jiedushi for so many years, so he certainly has some skills.

Tata'er's royal army tried to sneak up twice during the night, but was repelled by Gong Xushan who personally guarded the city.

Smoke was lit in Jinyun City, and the news came to Beijing within two days.

Originally, because Emperor Jingyuan suddenly fell seriously ill and was unable to see things, there had been an undercurrent in the capital. As a result, the sudden outbreak of war in Jinyun City stopped this undercurrent.

Beijing has ordered Beiding Jiedushi to transfer the Shanzhou garrison to Youzhou. Not to mention the two stations in Beijing, the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of War are also very busy.

"I didn't expect that at this juncture, the King of Chu would be willing to help the prince." Gong Xushan, wearing soft armor, walked into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion with a letter from the capital.

Although the Tata'er tribe has been attacking Jinyun City for a long time, and Jinyun City is a defender, it is not without any losses. But as long as Tata'er's royal army can be dragged under the city, it will be worth paying any price.

Because the longer it takes, the more anxious the Tata tribe will become. They and Dayan cannot afford to waste time.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao Yunyue, who had disappeared for a long time, finally sent a brief letter through Changxiao, the golden eagle.

Xiao Yunyue led a small group of the most elite Youyun Sixteen Cavalry deep into the grassland to visit Tata'er's hometown.

Tata'er's Wang Zhang Dayan could not figure out the specific location. Xiao Yunyue accidentally discovered some clues from the news sent back by the scouts, and then led the people to follow the traces and sleep on the grassland. It was only a few days ago that I found the specific location of the king's tent.

He is a hunter with patience and perseverance, just like when he was a teenager tracking the white wolf king on the grassland for the birthday of Princess Jinyang. The continuous heavy rain on the grassland and the embarrassment of repeatedly looking in the wrong direction and finally having to turn back could not wear away Xiao Yunyue's perseverance in clinging to the few clues.

Now that Tata'er's army is in front, the king's tent in the rear is empty. As long as Jinyun City can hold back Tata'er's army, as long as they can cover up Xiao Yunyue and the sixteen disappeared cavalry. The traces prevented Tatar from finding any clues.

Then, when Xiao Yunyue led an elite force of sixteen cavalry to surprise Tata'er's king's tent, the army in front would never have time to turn around and rescue him.

However, the size of the benefits is obviously proportional to the risks involved. Xiao Yunyue leaves Jinyun City and lets Jinyun City face the most elite royal army of the Tataer tribe. He will definitely put Jinyun City and Yuan Miaoyi at risk. in a dangerous situation.

He didn't say it clearly, but Yuan Miaoyi understood him, so she just told him calmly as before: "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'm still behind you."

The three people who got the accurate information about Xiao Yunyue felt a little relieved.

Only Chang Xiao seemed dissatisfied with being sent by Xiao Yunyue to do the engraving work. He threw the letter on the ground, got angry and walked away.

Yuan Miaoyi can't help with matters in the army. She is doing them the greatest favor by staying in the house and not allowing others to take advantage of her.

With the war currently going on, everything in Pingyanghou's house was naturally kept simple, not to mention that Yuan Miaoyi didn't like luxury in the first place.

After hearing what Gong Xushan said, she just smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Chu is also His Majesty's son after all."

Putting aside his ambition to compete with the prince for the position in the East Palace, Yan Xuanche still has the blood of the Yan royal family flowing through him. What's more, he is fighting for the East Palace in order to occupy the supreme position in the world in the future.

If he quarreled with the prince again at this time, people outside the pass could take advantage of it. Without the barrier of the Great Yan in Youzhou, and allowing Tata'er to sleep soundly on the pillow of the Great Yan, what would be the point of sitting in the world?

No matter how much the family members argue, they will always get into trouble when meeting outsiders.

Therefore, Yuan Miaoyi knew early on that as long as the person colluding with people outside the customs was not Yan Xuanche, then outsiders' instigation would have no effect.

Yan Xuanche is indeed a person who values ​​interests, but what he values ​​​​is big profits, and petty profits will not impress His Highness the King of Chu.

Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is His Majesty's biological son after all, but Gong Xushan still felt a little confused when he thought of Emperor Jingyuan's biological daughter.

Wu Housi's actions were very secretive. Concubine Shu may have noticed something, but she couldn't even send half of the letter out of the inner palace. Princess Jianing was used to being arrogant. She would never think that anyone could guess what happened to her.

Therefore, Princess Jianing thought that the people on the secret channel had long been replaced by people from Wuhou Si, and all the letters conveying news to outsiders had been intercepted by Wuhou Si.

Yuan Miaoyi lowered her eyes, thinking of the news that she finally sent to Jinyun City yesterday. The letter Princess Jianing sent to the outside world stated that she suspected that Marquis Pingyang was no longer in Jinyun City.

This matter is considered a secret in Jinyun City, and only a few people know about it.

After the war started, because Yi Fei's body shape was very similar to Xiao Yunyue's, he always covered his face with iron armor and pretended to be Xiao Yunyue. Even few among the sixteen riders knew about it.

It seems that the spies in the city are not digging clean enough.
