Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 530 Secret Order
As the patriarch, in order to maintain his status, Tuoba Zhenli had to compromise with these old fellows to a certain extent.Tuoba Zhenli originally planned to eliminate all his enemies in the tribe step by step within three years, and even disband the council of elders directly. At that time, no one would dare to confront him anymore.Tuoba Zhenli's plan is being realized step by step, but this time the opportunity light suddenly appeared on his head, Tuoba Zhenli originally thought that while gaining the strong support of the Holy Church through this victory, he would also make himself more powerful Consolidation, who would have expected that nearly half of the 1 people he brought out now died, which gave the opponent the best excuse to attack.So along the way, these old guys became more and more presumptuous when speaking in front of him.

The elders who forced him into the palace yesterday should have been instructed by this old thing.Tuoba Zhenli glanced at the crumpled mouth with missing teeth under the criss-crossing wrinkles, and felt ruthless in his heart. Sooner or later, he would throw these old bones into the fire and burn them as firewood.

In the eyes of the middle-aged patriarch of the party members, these old things are equally annoying, and he doesn't even want to take a second look.Tuoba Zhenli also doesn't care about what will happen to the old man's grandson.Now he was thinking about how to kill Ye Chen and his party while scaring them away.

At this moment, a cavalryman galloped over from a distance, and as soon as he got to the front of the formation, he fell from his horse to the ground.The old veteran of the Tuoba clan next to him let out an exclamation, and he had already rushed forward with his people, helped the cavalryman up, and began to treat his wounds.

This person is exactly the grandson of the former elder and Tuoba Zhenli, Tuoba Gelu.It was also the sentry sent by Tuoba Zhenli in front of him.Therefore, after seeing Tuoba Gelu's situation clearly, Tuoba Zhenli was also taken aback.

Tuoba Gelu's robes were tattered, and there were still several wounds that were oozing blood. It looked like he was seriously injured, but his spirit was not bad, so it should be just flesh wounds. After he was lifted up, he Before the old veteran led people to search for the wound and give him medical treatment, the sentinel had hurriedly informed him of the latest military situation.

"The Qingzhou reinforcements from the Song Dynasty have arrived, and they are almost at the other end of Yandi Valley. There are at least [-] troops."

At this moment, behind Ye Chen's army on the other side of Yandi Valley, smoke and dust rose everywhere, accompanied by the sound of galloping horses.

Seeing this, Tuoba Zhenli's face changed, knowing that the chance to kill Ye Chen had been lost, although he was extremely unwilling, he quickly ordered to retreat.

"The last general Liu Shijun pays homage to all of you"

"Liu Shijun, where is the imperial envoy?"

"Where is the imperial envoy?"

"Is the imperial envoy all right?"

Ten Mile Fort, without waiting for Liu Shijun to meet and salute, came from Qingzhou with [-] troops desperately, all three of them looked extremely panicked, commanders Tang Peng, Lu Long, Huang Dongqiu, and the lords of the prefecture Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun, the lord of Linzhou, interrupted Liu Shijun's words, and the irritable Tang Peng stepped forward and grabbed Liu Shijun, and asked again: "Liu Shijun, tell us how the imperial envoy is doing."

Looking at the expressions of the six people, Liu Shijun thought to himself that these three superiors came with reinforcements at this time, and no matter what happened to delay them, they must have all kinds of bad feelings along the way.Fortunately, Shilibao was not broken in the end, and now the imperial envoy is fine, otherwise I would have died in the battle. Fuzhou and Linzhou are fine, but these three Shangguan will be severely punished by the enraged emperor, not to mention, they will be completely destroyed. Offend Huaxia Weifu.

In addition, Ye Chen, the world-famous powerful official of the Song Dynasty and the chief envoy of the Huaxia Weifu, the youngest county king of the Song Dynasty, and the imperial envoy Ye Chen was besieged by the party members in Shilibao, and the northwest frontier army came. No matter how inextricably linked they are with the Holy Church behind their backs, they dare not not come at this time. They dispatched [-] troops each, led by Zhe Yuxun, the lord of Fuzhou, and Yang Chongxun, the lord of Linzhou. .

After Liu Shijun met the ceremony with everyone, he briefly told what happened in Shilibao in the past two days, which made everyone frightened for a while. At this time, they naturally knew that someone had intercepted all the messengers.As for Fuzhou and Linzhou, they were not suspected, because they spent more than a day unceremoniously annihilating the three thousand Dangxiang cavalry who were only used for acting in the Huangjiabao area, and at the same time protected a Huaxia Weifu They were also the ones who reported the spies to Gyeongju.

However, everyone couldn't care less about this at this time, because when Liu Shijun said that Ye Chen led three thousand cavalry to chase Dangxiang's 1-strong army, Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun did not mention it for the time being. The commander's expression changed drastically again.Lu Long even sternly scolded Liu Shijun: "Liu Shijun, you didn't stop the imperial envoy, if something happened to the imperial envoy, you and I would not be able to cut off your majesty's heads."

Liu Shijun said neither humble nor overbearing: "General Lu wrongly blamed the general. The general once knelt down and begged the imperial envoy not to pursue him, but the imperial envoy can't stop him. This is the letter from the imperial envoy to the generals. Please The grown-ups have a look."

Lu Long took Ye Chen's letter from Liu Shijun, opened it, frowned, and handed it to Tang Peng next to him. After several people read it one after another, Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun looked at each other, and they could see it from each other's eyes. doubts.Only then did they know that Li Guangrui from Xiazhou had sent troops to Hengshan with [-] cavalry to sneak attack on the nest of the Seventh Clan of the Party.

Tang Peng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Everyone! What should we do now? Should we take the army to chase after the imperial envoy, or attack Xiazhou under the order of the imperial envoy?"

Huang Dongqiu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Liu Shijun! You have been with the imperial envoy for the past two days. You know what happened when he left and what he said. From your point of view, the imperial envoy is going here. Hengshan is in danger."

Liu Shijun thought about Ye Chen's confident expression when he left, and the disapproval of the people in the Huaxia Weifu when he and Deng Chongxuan urged him not to pursue the party members.Finally said: "The final general thinks that the imperial envoy should be fine."

Huang Dongqiu's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and said: "In this case, I think we should follow the order of the imperial envoy to attack Xiazhou. You must know that this is indeed a good opportunity to attack Xiazhou and completely incorporate it into our Song Dynasty territory .”

Tang Peng and Lu Long nodded after hearing the words.The two patriarchs of Fuzhou and Linzhou also looked excited and murderous. You must know that although they and Xiazhou Li Guangrui have some relationship with the Holy Church, they are not considered to belong to the Holy Church. The most important thing is that Linzhou and Fuzhou have not They rarely fought with Xiazhou Li Guangrui, and they had already formed a deadly enmity with each other from top to bottom. Now that they have the opportunity to take down Xiazhou Li Guangrui's lair, they will definitely support it with all their strength.

Let Hu Sanguang lead a hundred spies and Hai Dongqing into the grassland next to Hengshan Mountain first, and Ye Chen led three thousand cavalrymen to rest and eat in the camp that Tuoba Zhenli made.Since the Seventh Dangxiang army besieged Shilibao two days ago, they haven't had a good rest. No matter what they want to do when they go to the Hengshan Dangxiang lair, they must take a rest first.

In the temporary camp, according to Ye Chen's order, the two weapons department personnel who followed Ye Chen from Kaifeng worked with Huang Louping for two hours, and established a temporary command post that was very different from the command post of this era.

In the entire camp hangs a map of the Northwest that has been surveyed and surveyed by the West Mansion of Huaxia Wei Mansion over the past year, and there is also a sand table in the middle of the latest research results of the Weapons Department after Ye Chen pointed out.

In the two hours just now, the map was transformed into a three-dimensional sand table.

The soldiers were still resting. Ye Chen, Lian Jicheng, Deng Chongxuan, the commander of the Shilibao Cavalry Battalion, and Wei Qingyuan and Gu Meng, the commanders of the Balipo and Shipingzhai troops, only slept for two hours. Huang Louping who was resting, a total of six people, was called by Ye Chen to gather here.

As soon as they entered the camp, Deng Chongxuan, Wei Qingyuan, and Gu Meng were attracted by the sand table. They all opened their eyes wide and marveled. After observing carefully for a moment, Wei Qingyuan praised happily: "Master! What a detailed terrain, terrain, and landform! Know yourself and the enemy, and win every battle. When it comes to the terrain of the towns and passes in the northwest, most of the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army are familiar with it. But for the Dangxiang The old enemy, we only know that they only have seven tribes and the general terrain except Li Guangrui in Xiazhou. This map is worth [-] troops, your lord is indeed a god."

Deng Chongxuan and Gu Meng were not far behind, and they all expressed their admiration for this sand table.Although they had the idea of ​​flattering Ye Chen, what they said was true.All three are warriors in the army, with rich combat experience. They know the importance of a detailed combat map for marching and fighting. Now the map is three-dimensional, especially the sand table that clearly marks the mountains, rivers, grasslands, and swamps in unfamiliar areas. Its role is more than one hundred thousand troops.

Ye Chen smiled, glanced at everyone, and said straight to the point: "What you said is true, but although the sand table is easy to use, it is a dead thing after all. The main thing that really determines the victory of a war lies in the command and cooperation of the leading general. The strength and morale of the soldiers. I think passively waiting for the Dangxiang people to invade the door, no matter how strong the pass and the formidable city wall will be breached one day, for example, your Balipo and Shipingzhai were captured by the Dangxiang people this time. In addition, everyone should know that the Great Wall was built in the Qin Dynasty. Although it is not useless, the incidents of northern barbarians invading China in the past dynasties are still endless. Therefore, I think it is necessary to find out their details and use offense instead of defense. Exterminating the tiger and wolf next to the couch is the right thing to do."
