Horse on the World

Chapter 295 Blockade
During the traditional New Year's Day in Dachu, the Dingzhou army did not stop attacking. Lu Dalin's eastern group, Guo Shanfeng and Shiwei's western group successively launched battles to clean up the outer defense line of Bayan Har. Ji, Kulun, Jining, and Chicheng fell successively within ten days, and Bayan Hara was completely exposed to the front of Dingzhou soldiers like a naked and beautiful young woman who was stripped naked.

After capturing the outer line of defense in Bayan Har, the two major groups from the east and the west have joined forces in Bayan Har. A total of nearly 20 people from both sides have surrounded Bayan Har. The grassland barbarians have only left Bayan Har. Remaining breath.

The Dingzhou Army stopped their attack, and they were waiting for their supreme commander Li Qing to personally command the final battle against the barbarians.Li Qing, who just got married on the first day of the new year, led five thousand cavalry from Yizhou to embark on the final battle to conquer Bayar three days later. He was accompanied by his new wife, Princess Qingcheng, and her family. Thousands of palace guards.

For Princess Qingcheng to follow Li Qing on the battlefield, everyone in Dingzhou supported it with both hands, while King Han and Yan Nanfei strongly opposed it. In Yan Nanfei's view, Li Qing went to Bayan Har It is definitely impossible to end the war against the barbarians within a certain period of time, and it will take at least one to two months. With this time, Qingcheng, as the mistress of Dingfu and Fuzhou, can completely gain a firm foothold, at least in Fuzhou. Keep your feet on the ground.

But Qingcheng, who was in charge of the army and grew up in the army, had a desire for war that old politicians like Yan Nanfei couldn't understand. For Qingcheng, the last battle against the barbarians was a good opportunity she had dreamed of. Not only can I fulfill my long-standing dream on the battlefield, but I can also use my performance on the battlefield to win the respect of the Dingzhou Army.Qingcheng is quite aware of the minds of soldiers, and if he wants to gain their respect, he can only win it through the enemy's head and blood on the bloody battlefield.And the palace guards, if they want to integrate into the series of Dingzhou army, they must set foot on the battlefield. In the last fight, Qingcheng clearly saw that the palace guards were completely regarded as outsiders in Dingzhou, and their status Even the Yizhou Army is far behind.

Qingcheng left five hundred palace guards to accompany Yan Nanfei to Fuzhou to prepare for the establishment of the Princess Xingyuan, and strive to set up a team in a short time.Yan Nanfei had no choice but to watch Qingcheng walk away helplessly, while beating his chest and stamping his feet, he could only take people to Fuzhou in dismay.

Ten days later, when the special agents of the Statistics and Investigation Department flew to Dingzhou, Li Qing and Qingcheng had just stepped into the Dingzhou military camp under the city of Wuyan Hara.

The horn was long, the golden drum sounded, and outside the gate of the camp, the senior military officers of Dingzhou, headed by Lu Dalin and Wang Qinian, put on brand-new official uniforms and stood upright.

"The last general will see the commander!" Lu Dalin, Guo Shanfeng and others pushed the Jinshan Mountain, fell down on the ground with jade pillars, followed behind them, the dark generals knelt down on the ground.

Tang Hu, Li Feng, Qin Ming and others who were following Li Qing Qingcheng quickly got off their horses and stayed aside. Li Qing and Qingcheng rode in side by side, and slowly arrived in front of the two generals. Li Qing got off his horse, With a big laugh, he pulled Lu Dalin and Guo Shanfeng together, and kicked Wang Qinian very casually, "Three generals, why bother to be so polite! Hurry up!"

"Thank you, Commander!" The three said in unison.

Li Qing looked at Guo Shanfeng with a smile. The two hadn't seen each other for nearly a year. He reached out and thumped Guo Shanfeng's shiny breastplate, "It's dark and thin!"

Guo Shanfeng grinned his mouth wide, and said with a happy smile: "The commander-in-chief has entrusted him with great trust, luckily he did not disgrace his life!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Come on, General Lu, General Guo, Huzi, let me introduce you, this is Princess Qingcheng, you have been fighting outside, and you haven't seen her yet."

Qingcheng had already got off her horse and stood beside Li Qing. Originally, according to the rules, the status of a princess was obviously more noble than Li Qing. These generals should see her first, but Lu Dalin and Guoshan Fengwang Qi Nian three People knew that the princess was on the side, but paid homage to Li Qing first. The meaning of this made Qingcheng feel a little uneasy.

"See Mrs. Marshal!" The three clasped their fists at the same time.

Qingcheng glanced sideways at Li Qing, who was calm and composed, and said: "Forget it, the three generals have worked hard, so there is no need to be polite, the imperial court will definitely reward the three generals for their hard work, and this palace will also ask for credit for the three generals. "

Lu Dalin and Guo Shanfeng raised their heads at the same time, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes, but a sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Qinian's mouth. He is Li Qing's confidant and knows a lot of things that are wrong with Lu Guo and the two of them. The three of them bowed at the same time. : "Don't dare, it's all the power of the commander-in-chief's overall command, the last general and others are just following suit."

Li Qing smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, there is no need to be modest here, three generals, we have traveled all the way, but we are very tired, let's go in and have a rest first, let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do!"

General Lu stretched out his hand to give way, "Commander, Madam please first, the camp has already been prepared, please move Commander and Madam."

Li Qing walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "Well, the Yizhou Camp and the Palace Guard Army have to take care of them."

"Don't worry, Marshal." Lu Dalin dared to say tightly.

In Bayan Har, nearly [-] slaves worked day and night, making the original city wall nearly ten meters taller. Under the city, crisscross trenches and parapets stretched out for several miles. In order to complete this huge city wall in a short period of time One-third of the nearly [-] slaves fell down forever, and their bones were built into the city wall or the parapet, and became part of the city forever.

Dingzhou's three-dimensional defense system was perfectly reproduced in Bayan Har, and because of this, after discussing with Guo Shanfeng and Lu Dalin, they temporarily stopped attacking. If one is not handled properly, it will become another Fuyuan meat grinder.

As the most important generals under Li Qing's command, they clearly know Li Qing's overall political strategy. For the barbarian war, they must win, and they must win beautifully, so as to minimize the loss of Dingzhou. If it is a tragic victory , that would be very detrimental to Dingzhou's next actions.

Nuoqia stood on the high city wall, staring at the endless Dingzhou army camp in the distance. Today, a new camp was established, indicating that there were new reinforcements joining. At this time, gathered in the The Dingzhou army in Bayan Hara has reached more than 20 people, plus 50 people from Shiwei, the enemy troops surrounding the city outside Bayan Hara have exceeded 10 people. In Bayan Hara City, although there are four It has a population of 5, but only a maximum of [-] people can actually take up swords and guns to fight, and among them, there are less than [-] people who can be regarded as elites.

Beside Nuoqia, Princess Nafu was wrapped in fox fur, with only a small face in the wind, looking at the Dingzhou Army not far away with hatred. Now, they wanted to kill their father again.

"Nuoqia, that devil is here too!" Neveu suddenly pointed to the Dingzhou military camp in the distance, where a big red flag was rising slowly, and the wind blew the big flag away. striking.

"Li Qing is here, the decisive battle is about to begin!" Nuoqia naturally knew what Li Qing's arrival meant.

"Nuoqia, tell me, if that devil Li Qing dies suddenly, will we win this war?" Neveu asked, tilting his head.

Nuoqia smiled wryly, "Princess, if there is such a possibility, of course, Li Qing is the soul of Dingzhou Army, without Li Qing, Dingzhou Army would not be Dingzhou Army, but Li Qing Young and young, how could he die suddenly? Princess, I'm going to report the news of Li Qing's arrival to His Majesty, please come with me!"

Neveu shook his head, "Nuo Qia, you go first, I will stay here for a while."

Looking at the back of Nuoqia leaving in a hurry, Neveu's mouth suddenly showed a smile, "You won't die when you are young, so it may not be true, there are too many people who die young!"

In Dingzhou City, a galloping horse galloped across the wide streets, and went straight to the gate of the Statistics and Investigation Department. He got off his horse, flashed his badge to the guard, and drove straight in, heading straight for Qingfeng's office hall.

After a while, Qingfeng rushed out, and under the guard of Zhong Jing, he ran towards the Marshal's Mansion.After Li Qing left, Lu Yiming was the leader in the political affairs of the two prefectures of Dingfu, and Shang Haibo was the most respected in the military affairs. Together with Qingfeng, they formed a stable three carriages to maintain the stability of the two prefectures of Dingfu. On weekdays, Lu Yiming In Zhizhou Mansion, Qingfeng is in the Statistics and Investigation Department, while Shang Haibo is the head of the three, but he is in the Marshal's Mansion.

Without waiting for an announcement, Qingfeng broke into Shang Haibo's office room. Looking at Shang Haibo's astonished face, Qingfengjue said: "Something has happened, Mr. Shang, I have sent someone to invite Mr. Lu."

Shang Haibo rarely saw such a heavy look on Qingfeng's face. He put his hands on the desk and stood up slowly, "What's the matter?" Compared with Qingfeng, it is too far behind. Mingyan's military intelligence investigation department is not yet successful, and its main energy is currently concentrated on the military.

"The capital Luoyang mutinied, Emperor Tianqi passed away, and the crown prince ascended the throne!" Qingfeng said every word, took out a volume of Wenzong from his sleeve, and handed it to Shang Haibo.

Before Shang Haibo had finished reading, Lu Yiming also came in a hurry, Qingfeng explained the situation in a few words, and Lu Yiming's expression also became serious.

"What should I do, should I notify the commander in chief?" Lu Yiming asked.

"No!" Shang Haibo and Qingfeng said in unison.Lu Yiming glanced at the two of them in surprise, it was the first time he saw the two of them walking in unison and speaking in unison.

"Block the news, we must not let the news spread at this time." Shang Haibo said. "Otherwise, if the news reaches Princess Qingcheng on the front line, there will be twists and turns in the battle against barbarians."

"But Lao Shang, Lord Han and Li Tuizhi are still in Dingzhou, they must have their own sources of information, we can't hide it for a few days." Lu Yiming said.

"Strictly sealed!" Shang Haibo said: "Director Qingfeng, your statistics and investigation department will keep a close eye on them. Anyone who tries to get close to them will be arrested. They must not get any news."

"As for Yan Nanfei, he has already gone to Fuzhou. Fuzhou has a seaport and there are many foreign merchants. We can't hide this matter."

"What's so difficult about it? If we can't hide it from Yan Nanfei, we can't hide it, but we can restrain Yan Nanfei so that he can't spread any news." Qingfeng said coldly.
