Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 516 The Judgment of the Commanders of the Three Commanders
Squeezed by the powerful forces of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, the Zhejia of Fuzhou, the Yang family of Linzhou, and Li Guangrui of Xiazhou, the living space of the Seven Departments of the Dangxiang has been shrinking in the past two years. According to the current situation, there will be another ten or twenty years. In a few years, the Seventh Department of the Dangxiang was either completely swallowed by these four forces, or it was annexed one by one by Li Guangrui of Xiazhou, another department of the Dangxiang, and eventually ceased to exist.

However, who would have thought that they would put all their eggs in one basket and suddenly send out a large army at this time, and go straight to Ye Chen, the chief envoy of the Huaxia Weifu, the imperial envoy sent by the Song Dynasty to the northwest to comfort the army.

Who gave them such courage?

Huang Louping is riding a big black horse. It is a good horse with a tall and shiny body, and its four long legs are bouncing elastically. Although its strength has been greatly weakened after two days and two nights of galloping, as long as you Take the rein lightly, and it will continue to move forward tirelessly.

Huang Louping's riding skills are superb, and he is a good horse, but after galloping at full speed for a long time, even with his strength, his thighs are still sore and numb, and the blood in his legs has become sluggish.But he still flicked his whip desperately, sparing no effort.

Because more than an hour has passed since he got the news, and the most important thing is that he can already feel that there are a large number of cavalry not far behind him, and the time for the enemy to inform him, the commander-in-chief, is already very little. .

The anxiety in Huang Louping's heart at this moment is indescribable, he just wants to rush back to the chief commander's side immediately, let him escape quickly, even if this beloved horse is exhausted to death.

Huang Louping gritted his teeth and thought, waved his hand and whipped again.Hurry up, we will arrive at Ten Mile Fort in half an hour at the most, let them light the beacon fire, and then we can notify the chief envoy.Huang Louping returned to his heart like an arrow, licked his thirsty lips, and gave him a few "slap-pa-pa-pa" whips.

Outside Gyeongju City, the Northwest Frontier Army Camp.

Under General Murong Yanzhao of the Northwest Camp, there were five Xiangdu commanders of the third rank, each with 1 troops under his command.Two of them had some involvement with the holy church and were caught by Ye Chen the day before yesterday, and now they have been escorted to Kaifeng by people from the Huaxia Weifu.

Ye Chen took over the Northwest Frontier Army for the time being. He left Gyeongju early this morning and went to the frontline army camp to comfort the army. Now the other three Xiangdu commanders are sitting in the barracks.The names of these three people are Tang Peng, Lu Long, and Huang Dongqiu.The day before yesterday, two colleagues at the same level were just taken down, and Ye Chen is now in the northwest again. The three of them did not dare to neglect. Since Ye Chen left early in the morning, the three of them sat in the hall where the general usually handles military affairs. Inside, while drinking tea and roasting the fire, while dealing with some ordinary affairs in the military camp, at the same time carefully communicating how to take good care of the young county king before the arrival of the new general half a month later, at the same time, Can hug the latter's thigh.

At this moment, some spies went straight to the hall without notification.Murong Yanzhao's rule in the Northwest Frontier Army has long been stipulated that any immediate military situation can be directly reported to the military hall at any time without being notified.So when the three of them saw the spies coming in directly, they couldn't help but jump in their hearts. They were all senior generals who had experienced many battles, and they wouldn't be so nervous under normal circumstances. It's just that the young county king was in the northwest at this time. Something happened to them, whether it was for them, the entire Northwest Frontier Army, or even the entire Song Dynasty court, it was a big shock.So they couldn't help but not be nervous.

There was no need for the three of them to ask, the spies knelt down on one knee as soon as they came in, and said loudly: "The humble Huangjiabao messenger, I found a few party members who were fighting grass near the Huangjiabao. The number is around four hundred."

The commanders of the three chambers heard this, and after being taken aback for a while, although they were surprised, they breathed a sigh of relief. Huangjiabao is about a hundred miles away from Gyeongju, and it is the closest military fortress from Gyeongju City to Hengshan. It's rare for the Seventh Department of the Party to travel so deep into the grass valley in the Song Dynasty like this this time, but it's not uncommon.The northwest is not as sparsely populated as the hinterland. In order to grab more things, it is normal for a small group of party members to bypass the front military camp and run an extra one or two hundred miles to affluent villages and towns to grab things.As for the young county king coming to the northwest, it is not surprising whether the Seventh Department of the Party will consider it.

Every winter is the most difficult time for Dangxiang members. Except for Li Guangrui of Xiazhou who has built a city, the other seven Dangxiang departments freeze to death every winter. Many people starve to death. What's more, Ye Chen is famous all over the world, but for the party members, his deterrent power is far worse than that of the dead Murong Yanzhao.After all, in the past two years, although Ye Chen has done many events that shocked the whole world, enough to be famous for thousands of years, and killed many people, it has nothing to do with the party members.To put it simply, Ye Chen never killed a party member, but Murong Yanzhao led his troops to kill many party members. The party members were a little afraid of Murong Yanzhao, but they definitely would not be afraid of Ye Chen.

Huang Dongqiu took a sip of tea, and motioned for the messenger from Huangjiabao to continue talking.

The messenger also knew that although the military information he brought was an important military matter, it was not a big deal in the eyes of the three generals, so he waited for the three generals to exchange a few words before continuing: "I, Huang Jiabao Xu The general was going to send people to wipe out the party members, but the Zhe family in Fuzhou and the Yang family in Linzhou had already dispatched [-] cavalry to take the lead and started to encircle and suppress the seven or eight party members. General Xu did not continue to send troops. Just let the humble officer come over and report to the three generals."

Lu Long, Tang Peng, and Huang Dongqiu looked at each other when they heard the words, and Tang Peng scolded first: "People from Gou Ri's Zhe family and Yang family are not usually so active. I have long heard that they are in the Dangxiang tribe. Spy, it seems most likely to be true now, otherwise how could it be possible to get the news so quickly and send cavalry ahead of our frontier army. You must know that Fuzhou and Linzhou are both one or two hundred miles away from Huangjiabao."

Lu Long also said with a smile: "Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun are the two people who know how to judge people and how to act. Knowing that the imperial envoy has come to the northwest, and knowing how important the imperial envoy is to His Majesty, it is natural to show a good performance to the imperial envoy. Make a good impression. After all, compared to us, feudal towns like his Yang family and Zhe family are probably most afraid of the Huaxia Weifu looking for trouble from them."

Huang Dongqiu interjected: "That's right, Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun are smart people, just think about it, if the imperial envoy returns to Kaifeng, just casually say a word to His Majesty, it will bring endless troubles to the two of them , and even the disaster of destruction in the future.”
