Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 924 The Wrath of the Killer King
Roulang Village is not a bandit village, but another military village of Xiangfu Kingdom that is closest to Gaizhu City, but it is also about a hundred miles away from Gaizhu City.

At this time, in addition to the garrison of a battalion originally stationed here in the Roulang Mountain military camp, there are also some calm and fierce-looking people in the military camp.These people are none other than the soldiers of the special brigade who arrived at the fastest speed.

Since the battle between Xiang Fuguo and the Liao army years ago, the special brigade has also summed up the experience from top to bottom at the request of Ye Chenge. The biggest improvement is that Bai Canghai requires every soldier of the special brigade to be an excellent soldier. Cavalry, after several months of hard training, the five thousand soldiers of the special brigade did meet this requirement.In addition, Bai Canghai requested that the food and grass needed by the special brigade be provided by the nearest local government no matter where they went.Ye Chen agreed to this request considering that there were not many personnel in the special brigade.

Therefore, with all the cavalry and no need to be slowed down by food and grass, although the special brigade set off from Xiajing, it was the first support force to arrive.

"General, it has been confirmed that the city of Lanzhou has now fallen. The White Tiger Army's 5000 men and horses in Lanzhou have almost lost their lives. Du Jianqi, the prefect of Lanzhou, has all died. Now half of the Tubo troops are defending Lanzhou City and the three counties under its jurisdiction, and the other half of the troops are attacking Gaizhu City under the leadership of the Tubo general Gewang Dorje." In the Military Affairs Office of Roulang Village, there is a In a medium-sized sand table, Bai Canghai sits at the top. Although there are seats on both sides, Feng Zhiyuan, envoy of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Security who was sent to the front by Hu Sanguang, and civil and military officials from Roulang Mountain stand respectfully on both sides. take a seat.At this time, Feng Zhiyuan was picked up by Bai Canghai to report the latest battle situation in Lanzhou.

Although the military title of General Zhendong and the title of Marquis of Qingshui are extremely respected, they still do not make everyone so restrained, but the legend of the King of Killers has long been known to every family along with Ye Chenfeng Bai Canghai and Zhan Xiongwu as the two door gods , not to mention that legends are often much exaggerated than reality.In fact, Feng Zhiyuan knew that according to folklore, the king of killers, Bai Canghai, had killed tens of thousands of people. Ordinary people turned pale with fright just hearing this name. Faint, but still have to be careful to serve.

"Han Hu and Yang Yanjun are both dead! I have never suffered such a big loss since the founding of Xiangfu Kingdom. Little Tubo, Yingcheng Linbuchi is looking for death." Bai Canghai said lightly, but as a Super-class masters have their own "power" invisibly, and Bai Canghai's "power" means an extremely sharp sword to kill.At this time, following his words, everyone shuddered inexplicably.

At this moment, a senior commander of the special brigade walked into the hall quickly, saluted Bai Canghai, handed out a brass tube as thick as a finger, and said loudly: "General, Xia Jing and Hai Dongqing Send an urgent message."

Bai Canghai took the brass pipe and unplugged it, took out a roll of secret report and read it, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes slightly, the killing intent in his heart surged again based on the foundation just now.Everyone in the hall couldn't help their hearts beating wildly, and their faces turned slightly pale.

The secret report was jointly issued by Han Xizai, Ma Wentao, Li Junhao, Hu Sanguang, and Zeng Shangfei. It consisted of one sentence: "The queen has lost her temper. Her Majesty was seriously injured in order to save the queen. She fell into a coma for a while. The battle in Lanzhou must not fail, otherwise something may change. .”

While Bai Canghai was reading the secret report, a gold-medal spy from the Ministry of Security walked in, and quietly came to Feng Zhiyuan, the intelligence department envoy of the Ministry of Security, and whispered in his whisper.

Feng Zhiyuan's expression froze when he heard the words, he raised his head and said to Bai Canghai: "General, just got the latest information, Song Guodangjin led a hundred thousand troops from the Northwest Frontier Army to gather in Dakouzhai yesterday, and came to our Huangwan Pass. There is a possibility of invading at any time. In addition, Xiao Tianzuo, the new king of the South Court of the Liao Kingdom, gathered an army of [-] to hunt in the territory of Wuzhou, and the army suppressed the border."

When everyone heard the words, all their faces changed, and their expressions were dignified.After pondering for a while, Bai Canghai asked Feng Zhiyuan, "When will Zhang Dawei and Deng Chongxuan arrive?"

Feng Zhiyuan immediately replied: "General Zhang and General Deng will lead the main forces of Qinglong and Suzaku. It is estimated that the former will take four days, and the latter will take two more days to arrive."

Bai Canghai said: "We can't wait for them any longer."

After a pause, Bai Canghai turned around and said to a metropolitan school standing at the front on his right: "Gao Wuyang, you lead our [-] special brigade to set off immediately, and march to Gaizhu City to wait for the opportunity. I don't care about the specifics. As long as you can win the battle.”

The Gao Wuyang that Bai Canghai mentioned was the commander of the first brigade and battalion of the infantry of the former Xuanwu Army. First-class military exploits, but because of serious injuries, he was transferred to the Military Academy as a brigade-level teacher in Dadu School.

The position of deputy captain of the special brigade has been vacant. Bai Canghai took a fancy to Gao Wuyang. Gao Wuyang was unwilling at first, but Bai Canghai personally helped Gao Wuyang heal the internal injury of the meridians with super-class masters. Gao Wuyang finally agreed to serve as the deputy captain of the special brigade. Captain.

Gao Wuyang hesitated for a while, and asked: "The general does not have any troops with him, so the general dares to ask the general where he will go next. How can the general contact the general?"

Bai Canghai stood up and said, "I have more important things to do."

Kaifeng, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fan Changcai, an envoy of the Intelligence Department of Song Weifu, is bowing down to report to Zhao Pu the latest situation between Xiangfu Kingdom in the northwest and most of Tubo.

"Huangfu Tong has done a good job. We will see if Cao Wei can help the Tibetans defend Lanzhou." Zhao Pu nodded and said.

Liu Cheng, the chief aide beside Zhao Pu, stroked his beard, frowned and said: "Master, the emperor has already moved to kill him. These days, although the killers are only sent out every now and then, it can be seen from the recent news from the palace. Things are becoming more and more ruthless and reckless. Although Cao Gong of the Privy Council has reached a tacit agreement with his husband, Li Jixun, who is in charge of the [-] troops in the North Camp, and Dang Jin, who is in charge of the [-] troops in the Northwest Camp, have always been loyal to the emperor, especially Dang Jin. If one day His Majesty issues a decree to the two that will be detrimental to Xianggong, Li Jixun dare not say it, but Dangjin will definitely not resist the decree. Therefore, the real confidant of Xianggong should be Dangjin, so in my opinion, Xianggong should think of ways Get rid of Dangjin."

Zhao Pu nodded, and said: "What Mr. Liu said, it's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that if I attack the general in the army rashly, it's difficult for Cao Bin to explain it, and it's easy for the general in the army to become hostile to him. , but the gain outweighs the loss.”

Liu Cheng smiled slightly, and said softly, "Why don't you borrow a knife to kill someone, Mr. Xiang?"

Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Borrowing a knife to kill? Whose knife? Dangjin has [-] elite soldiers under his command, even with the help of Ye Chen, it is difficult to do this."

Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "It wasn't Ye Chen. Think about it, Mr. Song, if His Majesty the Song Emperor suddenly ordered Dang Jin to be imprisoned, would Dang Jin resist?"

Zhao Pu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Those who regard Dang Jin as a person will never have any resistance. Oh... Xiangben understands, Mr. Liu means... want to use His Majesty's hand to get rid of Dang Jin?"

Liu Cheng said of course: "That's right, His Majesty is doing things more and more extreme now, and his suspicion is getting heavier and heavier. Even Cao Bin, who has always been the most loyal to his Zhao family, has never believed it. Although the loyal Majesty of Dangjin knows, But as long as you do something to make His Majesty doubt Dang Jin's loyalty, especially if His Majesty doubts Dang Jin's relationship with Prime Minister, then His Majesty will definitely not tolerate Dang Jin."

Zhao Pu looked happy, nodded slightly, and said: "Mr. Liu's plan to kill people with a knife is indeed a clever plan, but the operation of it also takes some effort. Hmm... this time, I used the auspicious amulet to use the Tubo Yingcheng Linbu to rebuke the soldiers and commit crimes." Kingdom, then Yingcheng Linbuchi will definitely be very dissatisfied, and if we don't express a little bit in the Song Dynasty, Yingcheng Linbuchi might retreat early after losing the battle, and hand over Lanzhou to Xiangfu Kingdom. Therefore, You might as well pass on His Majesty's will to Dangjin and ask him to provoke Xiangfu Kingdom's border a little bit. This will not only strengthen the determination of Tubo Yingcheng Linbuchi to keep Lanzhou. According to the truth, His Majesty will definitely be furious because of Ye Chen’s fear of Ye Chen and the truth’s involvement in the army, and will definitely attack the party.”

Liu Cheng said: "Mr. Xiang's plan is really killing two birds with one stone. It's very clever. It's just that the party advances to provoke the Xiangfu country's border, and it will only burn yourself..."

Zhao Pu waved his hand and said: "Mr. Liu, don't worry about this. Xiangfu Kingdom marched westward to the Hexi Corridor and started a war with the Tubo people. Besides, Song Weifu found out that Ye Chen was seriously injured to save his witch queen. At this time, Xiangfu Kingdom Absolutely don’t want to start a war with me, Da Song. As long as you state in the party’s will that it’s just a provocation.”

Cover Zhucheng.

On the day of July 23rd, seeing that the time to break the city was approaching, some tribal generals could no longer hold back, and prepared to challenge Gwang Dorje to battle when it was time to discuss matters.

But today's discussion didn't wait for them to open their mouths to ask for a fight. After Gawang Dorje gathered all the generals, he opened his mouth and said: "Today we will discuss part of the siege."

As soon as Gewang Dorje finished speaking, he glanced at all the generals in the tent, his expression was still solemn and resolute, and he didn't take it seriously when the generals were astonished. He just continued to say: "Lun Bu Your Excellency ordered that the city be broken in seven days, and you all heard it with your own ears. Now there are only two days left in the seven-day period, so Zhucheng must be broken within two days!"
