Chapter 609 Xiliang Two Years Later
At the end of the second year after Tianyinke entered the desert, Xiliang City received news from Shangjing that Guan Shanyue led his new army and had already marched towards Xiliang City.

For this news, Xiliang City was absolutely bored waiting for others, but there was no big surprise. After all, what should come will always come, and more importantly, the two-year delay in going to the capital has already benefited Xiliang City Not too small.

The news of going to the capital was personally conveyed by Zhui Feng, one of the six guards of the eldest prince Zhu Zhen, who also told everyone the main reason why Marshal Zhang of the Beifu Army could not stop Guan Shanyue.

At first, Zhang Yuesong led the Beifu Army to cleverly drag Guan Shanyue's new army inside Yanjing City, neither attacking nor responding to the battle. Guan Shanyue was caught off guard.

Even if Guan Shanyue knew that there would be an army to disturb her once she set off to Xiliang, she would set a trap for this, but she did not expect the opponent's surprise attack methods to emerge one after another, making the ambush trap she set completely ineffective , There was another time when all the people who were in ambush were killed, so Guan Shanyue simply stopped leaving, set up a position, searched for the whereabouts of this mysterious army, and on the other hand put pressure on King Wen of Yanjing City.

After all, there was a rebel army attacking the imperial army under King Wen's jurisdiction, and King Wen couldn't get away with it.

However, King Wen is also an old fox, so he simply claims that he is sick and unable to handle official business. As for King Wen’s subordinates, they naturally wear the same trousers as King Wen, declaring that all matters in Yanjing City must be decided by King Wen, and they cannot make decisions by themselves. , Therefore, all the top and bottom of Yanjing City remained silent and stood still.

As a result, it dragged on for nearly two years.

The empress dowager Wang Chuyi in the capital also had some clues about the attack on Guan Shanyue, but it was hard to say it clearly. Instead, she secretly sent envoys to the capital to hint to the eldest prince Zhu Zhen to withdraw his troops, but the eldest prince Zhu Zhen But Zhen didn't know what to ask, even the envoy's obvious hint, the eldest prince Zhu Zhen pretended to be confused.

In the end, the Empress Dowager sent an important figure to Yanjing City to support Guan Shanyue, named "Supervisor Army".

Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army, Li Tianshan.

Li Tianshan only brought a thousand imperial cavalry and ten eunuchs.

Don't underestimate these ten eunuchs, they were all trained by Xu Wu, and they are also masters of the second class.

Guan Shanyue didn't have a friendly attitude towards Li Tianshan, the superintendent, just like treating a stranger, neither cold nor overly enthusiastic.

He didn't pay much attention to this Li Tianshan, Guan Shanyue was such a person anyway.

But Li Tianshan's decree made Guan Shanyue dumb and ate coptis.

Mobilize immediately.

This was the decree issued by the empress dowager. Guan Shanyue knew that the empress dowager said one thing, so she had no choice but to pack her bags and set off for Xiliang City.

Strange to say, after Li Tianshan came, the march went smoothly, but the mysterious army disappeared.

It's not that Zhang Yuesong disappeared, but that every step of Zhang Yuesong's arrangement was occupied by Li Tianshan, just like Zhang Yuesong had calculated the route of Guan Shanyue's march and ambushed at a certain position. It was either buried, or set on fire.

The first time Zhang Yuesong thought it was a coincidence, but when such things happened one after another, if it wasn't because of the secret work of the enemy in his army, then the other party had expected how he would arrange it and reminded himself earlier that it wouldn't work.

Since he could guess his arrangement, then this person must know who he is, so Zhang Yuesong retreated back to Shangjing, and told the eldest prince Zhu Zhen everything.

Zhuifeng told Absolute Boring and the others everything, and then asked: "I don't know, has Lord Tianyinke returned?"

In the past two years, Shangjing has sent people to inquire about this matter. After all, the eldest prince Zhu Zhen, Ning Fei and others are still very nervous about the dragon robe.

"No." Absolutely Boring said flatly, he didn't know how many times he said these two words in the past two years.

Chasing the wind and leaving his mouth, he was absolutely bored and said to Li Gu who was beside him: "Mr. Li, I'm going to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies."

Now after two years of rest, Xiliang City has enough soldiers and food.

However, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has 18 troops, [-] Xiliang City garrison troops, [-] Xiliang City city defense troops, and the Guards Commander Piaoxue and Qingtian have expanded to [-] troops. Liangcheng's most elite army, and finally there is the surprise attack team led by the sword king never returning to Kong with three thousand players.

Absolutely boring. By the time they arrived at the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, everyone had already gathered together.

The five masters of the Great Metropolitan Governor, the Governor of the Left Army, Huben, the Governor of the Right Army, Young Master Yangcheng, the Governor of the Former Army, a hero in troubled times, the Governor of the Rear Army, the Immortal of Wine, and the inspection of the Emperor's Sword in Xiliang.

Absolutely boring and no nonsense, seeing that everyone is my brother, he cut straight to the point and said: "Mr. Li has already sent someone to convey the news to you, is everything clear?"

Everyone nodded, looking absolutely boring.

"Then, there is only one thing I want to say. Xiliang City is our last line of defense, and the Xiliang border is our first line of defense. The rest of the matter will be taken care of by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. I'm going to find Brother Gui now. , Huadao, and Yijian." After finishing speaking, she was absolutely bored and left alone.

As for Li Gu, he stayed. After all, Li Gu still has a job now, that is Xiliang military supplies. Li Gu is personally responsible for distributing all the weapons, clothes, food and grass used by the army. Naturally, military supplies are indispensable for fighting now.

"It's not wrong to be boring. Xiliang City is our last line of defense, so before the enemy arrives here, we must try our best to consume their forces. Once their forces are weakened, they will not be able to attack the city by then. In addition, at this time It's time for the Xiliang horse bandits to take action to prevent foreign cavalry." Huben said, looking at the crowd.

Everyone has no opinion on what Huben said.

Then, Wuzhu said: "The border of Xiliang is too wide. I guess Guan Shanyue will most likely choose these three roads when entering Xiliang." Then he marked three points on a large terrain map. Huben, Young Master Yangcheng, Hero in Troubled Times, Immortal of Wine and the others looked over.

Huben nodded: "From Yanjing City, these three locations are indeed the best shortcuts to enter Xiliang City, but we must also be fully prepared in case Guan Shanyue enters Xiliang City from other places."

"Then, all the Xiliang horse thieves must be mobilized." Young Master Yangcheng said with a smile.

"That's right, the Xiliang horse thieves have played a role where we can't reach them. As for the foreign cavalry, it is still a headache. Since these years, after encountering our continuous attacks, the foreign cavalry has become smarter and behaved better. Be careful, so that we can't find out where their camp is, so on the premise of letting the Xiliang horse bandits investigate, we must also restrain the foreign cavalry." Huben continued.

"Then let's allocate these three points. The left side is in charge of the drunkard's rear army, the upper left peak is in charge of the Xiongxiong's front army, and finally the flat terrain here is in charge of your right cavalry, Young Master Yangcheng. Huben will assist me. Arrange the second line of defense." Now that he has expressed his opinion, the five masters also began to assign tasks to everyone.

While the five masters and others were discussing, Xu Yongchang, the governor of the five armies' governor's mansion, walked in quickly from outside: "I have seen all the governors, generals, and lords."

Seeing that the person who came was Xu Yongchang, the five masters smiled: "Yongchang, what's the matter?" Although Xu Yongchang did not perform outstandingly, he has helped the five masters a lot in the past two years, and the most important thing is that Xu Yongchang endured hardships and stood hard work. He is willing to work hard to learn, and he can make up for his congenital deficiencies.

"Back to the governor, there was news from the horse bandits in Xiliang that the foreign cavalry had acted abnormally, and it has not been a long time since more than [-] foreign cavalry rushed into the territory at once."

Ever since the foreign cavalry was attacked by Xiliang City and the Xiliang horse bandits, the large troops withdrew from Xiliang and wandered outside Xiliang. Today, a large number of cavalry poured in, probably to open the way for Guan Shanyue.

The five masters nodded and said: "You came at a good time. We also estimated that there would be some changes in the foreign cavalry just now. Now you convey the order from the Dudu Mansion to the Xiliang horse bandits to dispatch all the Xiliang horse bandits to restrain the foreign cavalry. We also need them to patrol the border, and the most important thing is whether there is any army entering Xiliang from the border, and if there is any disturbance, they must report immediately, and they must not act without authorization."

"My subordinates should pass on the orders of the commander-in-chief now." Although Xu Yongchang has not been promoted in the past two years, his reputation in the Chinese army has been increasing day by day, and the intelligence of the commander-in-chief of the five armies is all from Xu Yongchang. Responsible, Xu Yongchang is also responsible for delivering orders.

"Wait." Just as Xu Yongchang was about to leave, Huben stopped him and said, "There is one more thing to pass on to the four mining areas, ordering them to close the mines and return to the city."

"The subordinates take orders." Xu Yongchang knew that the governor of the Five Armies was the largest governor, but the other governors would not have any opinions on what the governor said, so Xu Yongchang would not show any doubts, but was efficient. to accomplish these things.

After leaving the strategic conference hall, Xu Yongchang went straight to his public room. As soon as he entered the public room, the busy staff carried rolls of information recording all kinds of information back and forth, distributing and conveying them, just like the classification of express delivery, which province, which The ones in the district are thrown together, and then sent together.

After Xu Yongchang walked in, he said loudly: "Draft me a text quickly."

Order of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies: As soon as the Xiliang horse bandits receive the order, they will immediately send troops to restrain the foreign cavalry to prevent the foreign cavalry from invading. In addition, they must send out spies to monitor the movement on the border and report back immediately if there is any disturbance.

"My lord, the order has been drawn up." Just as Xu Yongchang finished speaking, the following document was quickly written and handed to Xu Yongchang.

Xu Yongchang took a look at it, put it on his desk, took out a key to open the stone box set on his stone table with the ground, took out a big seal and stamped it on the place where the signature was signed.

There are eight big characters "Seal of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of Xiliang" impressively engraved on it.

This is the big seal of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion for conveying documents. Whether it is information, orders, or notifications, all of them will change this seal. Similarly, as long as the document with this seal is stamped, any soldiers and horses belonging to the Five Armies Commander's Mansion can be mobilized.

After Xu Yongchang finished building, he said, "Make another copy for me."

Order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies: All major mining areas will be closed from now on, and the entire army will return to Xiliang.

This time, however, four clerks quickly wrote four orders. After Xu Yongchang covered them, he asked people to convey these four orders to the generals in the mining areas immediately.

As for himself, he took the Xiliang horse thief's order and went to deliver the order in person.

Xu Yongchang rushed towards the city gate on a fast horse. The guards guarding the city gate became vigilant when they heard the sound of horseshoes in a hurry.

One of the captains at the head yelled at Xu Yongchang: "Get off your horse and show your badge."

There is a strict order in Xiliang City that horses are not allowed to gallop inside the city, and those who violate it will be punished severely. Of course, if there is an urgent matter, you can say something else, so show your badge to show your identity.

Once the five masters are accidentally stopped, is it necessary to deal with them absolutely boringly?Of course it is impossible, so the token is the pass, but the five masters will not be so boring to gallop in the city, after all, they have to set a good example for the soldiers and people below.

Xu Yongchang held back the horse, but did not dismount. Instead, he took out his token and said to the guards: "I am the governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. I have to leave the city for urgent matters. Get out of the way."

The captain of the city guard recognized Xu Yongchang at a glance, and he didn't need to look at the token at all, so he said to his subordinates: "It's okay, let's spread out."

"Where is Yongchang going?"

Just as Xu Yongchang was about to drive his horse out of the city, a voice came from the side.

Xu Yongchang looked sideways and said with a smile: "The governor asked me to deliver the order."

"I really don't understand what you and Zhao Qing are thinking. If one of you is going to be the shopkeeper, you should go to be the messenger and deliver the letter. Don't want the position of General Qian Zong..." The person who spoke was, Fang Du, brother of Xu Yongchang and Zhao Qing.

"Back then we had vowed to be generals, but now brother, I am, and you are just a small seventh-rank official who has to run errands every day, and Zhao Qing has no rank or job. Hey, it's better for me to be with the general. Tell me, call the two of you to my side so that I can take care of you."

Xu Yongchang shook his head and smiled: "Brother, Zhao Qing and I both know your kindness, but everyone has their own ambitions. Zhao Qing is very satisfied with his current job, and I am the same. Maybe you are the only one who can be a general among our brothers. .”

"That's..." Fang Du was very pleased to hear this.

"Stop talking, the order is urgent, I must convey it immediately." After speaking, Xu Yongchang drove away.

Fang Du shouted afterward: "Be careful." But he sighed inwardly: You are not expected to be generals, and you still said it so nicely back then.

Now Fang Du is the majestic Chief Qian, with [-] soldiers under his command, how many soldiers did the deputy general lead back then?It's only so much, or less, thinking about it this way makes Fang Du even more elated and elated.
