Chapter 174 Xiong Hu of the Great Wei
“Drive!”
“Faster! You lazy horse...Hurry up!”
The cold moon The color illuminated the wilderness and the road, and several fast horses galloped along the winding official road. Fang Tianling and several fastmen whipped their whips wildly, urging their horses to reach Chendu County as soon as possible.
Xilulu!
The horse running under him neighed and suddenly fell to the ground. Fang Tianling flew forward, flipped in mid-air, and landed firmly. He looked back at the mount that was foaming at the mouth, and had no choice but to exchange with a subordinate and continue on his way.
It was already midnight when we arrived at the north gate of Chendu County. The soldiers on the tower put out their torches and asked, and Fang Tianling threw his arrest warrant up the tower.
"Hurry up and open the city gate!"
While checking the token, the soldier above also ran and called the gate guard. After verification, the soldier below asked him to The city gate slowly opened a gap that allowed people to pass through.
The horses jumped in, and Fang Tianling called to the tower: "Thank you!"
Then he entered the city, went straight to the government office along the street, got off his horse and rushed into the government office. Someone came up to stop him, but he pushed him away. As he ran, he shouted: "Prefect!"
Strode into the hospital, the backyard is in front of him. In the opposite room, the lights were turned on. Under the service of his concubine, Wei Jintang hurriedly put on a single coat and opened the door.
"Fang Capt., what did King Xia say? The wrong person was sent?"
"Go back to the prefect!"
Fang Tianling came forward to see the gift and The story of sending Su Ting to the ferry was told to Wei Jintang in detail, "... After I came out, I saw that the soldiers and horses of the North were already in action, spreading towards... towards Chendu... They were not like attacking City..."
"Go and notify General Cao, and several others in the city... Hurry up, I'll come over after I change my robes!"
"Yes! I'll be here soon!"
Dismissed After Fang Tianling left, Wei Jintang hurried back to the house and asked the concubine on the bed to help him put on his robe. He entered the house and closed the door. When he saw the woman sitting on the bed, motionless, he couldn't help but get annoyed.
"I want you to dress for me..."
His words suddenly stopped, and he slowly moved to the corner of the room following the concubine's frightened gaze. The window lattice was half open, and a figure stood in the corner. Slowly walk into the candlelight range.
"Who?!" Wei Jintang turned around and grabbed the sword hanging on the wall, and a cup flew over and hit the back of his hand.
In the shadow, Pei Min walked out with his sword in hand and stood in front of the round table with a sneer on his lips.
"Prefect Wei, I am the commander of the Embroidery Department of the State of Yan, come with me now."
The next second, the concubine on the bed was hit on the head by something and fainted. The candles in the room were extinguished, and the fat figure was grabbed by the back of the neck and dragged to the courtyard. He jumped to the roof, stepped on the tiles and walked towards the north wall with a clanking sound.
The soldiers over there saw someone jumping down from the room, and they gathered around to question him. However, they saw that the eunuch was being manipulated by the other party, and they did not dare to step forward.
He watched helplessly as the other party carried Wei Jintang up to the city wall. In the sight of everyone, he jumped off the city wall and disappeared into the wilderness outside the city in the blink of an eye.
The news that the prefect had been kidnapped spread wildly that night. Cao Zhong received the news, opened the city gate, led a hundred horses to pursue outside the city, and waited until dawn to return without success.
However, soon, the scouts sent battle reports like snowflakes from outside the city, and they fell into the hands of him and other generals. Battle reports from the six counties under his jurisdiction were frequent, and they were all news of requests for help. At this moment, Chen The counties and towns around Dujun were all ravaged by the Xia King's army in the North.
Wei County was attacked! Jade County is under attack! Xingwu County was attacked...
Out of reach of his sight, he seemed to have seen beacon fires rising in various counties. Soldiers and horses from each county who did not know the truth came out of the city to rescue, and then they were killed and were completely defeated. Within Chendu County, beacon fires were set off frantically to send messages and call for help. More reinforcements rushed to the army, but they were defeated, shrunk, and defeated again.
Cao Zhong seemed to see the brutality and spread of the soldiers' front, and a chill arose in his heart.
That King Xia is really going to take action... He's not joking.
...all kinds of fast horses galloped out, and were intercepted by the Northland cavalry on the way, and were shot and killed. Fortunately, the news of the invasion of Chendu County reached the hands of the prefects of the surrounding counties, and then It means organizing the troops and sending reinforcements.
The news went southwest into the hinterland of the Central Plains. When it entered Luyang, it was already three days later. On September 17, in the Zhao Wei palace, Zhao Chuanting was talking with the Minister of War and the Minister of War. , several Gyeonggi generals looked at the map and responded to the Yan State's two groups of troops stationed in Fenzhou and Zhangzhou.
As the emperor of the Wei Kingdom for six generations, Zhao Chuanting had ambitions that were different from those of his father and his two generations. He was committed to expanding his territory and wanted to expand the territory of the Wei Kingdom. His achievements were higher than those of previous emperors.
“The Xia King of Yan Kingdom, an ambitious man, marched in two directions this time, one stationed in Fenzhou on the east route, and the other stationed in Zhangzhou on the west route, nominally to avenge the people of Fenzhou , In fact, I just want to fight with you, haha! I am not young anymore, and fighting with this little guy makes me feel like I am back when I was young!"
Zhao Chuanting is already fifty-one this year! , burly and tall, his voice was still full of energy. He raised his gray head, standing in front of everyone like a giant bear. He looked at the two southward arrows of the Yan Kingdom drawn on the land, his eyes seemed calm.
“But I am really happy to have such a young opponent. When I heard that the young King Xia of Yan State was raising his troops to go south, I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep for two whole nights. I hope he won’t let me down. , My generals, don’t let me down, Shi Jingzhong made me heartbroken before.”
The Wei emperor walked away from the map with half-squinted eyes and stood there. Behind his desk: "Since they are here, they have to pay the price. Chendu County in Junzhou and Guangwu County in Yaozhou are the first line of defense to prevent them from crossing the river. When they arrive, they will definitely go back to build a ferry first. Over there Send more detailed work, secretly sabotage, assassinate, poison, and kill as many shipbuilding craftsmen as possible.”
He issued the order, and the palace guards rushed over, and then handed something to the eunuch outside the study. The eunuch's expression changed, and he walked quickly into the room and stood at the side of the desk with a bow.
"Your Majesty, news from Chendu County, Junzhou."
Zhao Chuanting took the paper and unfolded it. The surrounding generals, ministers, and ministers also looked over and looked at the news in the emperor's hand.
There was silence for a moment.
A laugh came from his mouth, and then he handed it to the generals for circulation, "Haha... The little king of Yan State is very courageous. I thought that his army would not arrive for another half month, but unexpectedly So fast.”
"The news came three days ago. I'm afraid that Chendu County is already isolated and helpless." A general put down the news in his hand with a look of horror in his eyes.
On the side, Yuan Feng, Minister of the Ministry of War of the State of Wei, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, judging from what this person has done before, he must be well prepared. He marched so quickly, entered Zhangzhou, crossed the Hun River, and was everywhere in Chendu County. Is the killing really a revenge for what happened in Fenzhou? "
"Haha, young people, Xue Yong will always do things that are unbelievable to us old guys, but this is the best. , only when such an enemy is defeated will it be more meaningful to conquer. All the elites of the Yan State are in the hands of this person. If he is defeated, the Yan State will no longer be fortified and can march straight in. "
The Emperor of Wei said excitedly, He took a few steps, as if he had thought about it.
"The two generals, Zhao Guiyan and Chen Quan, each lead 20,000 troops and horses, and go to Chendu County in Junzhou. Wang Zhiwen, the general of Wu San, will serve as the supervisor! We will set off today. The counties and counties along the way will supply rations and the army's equipment. The grain will be loaded tonight and we will leave Beijing before noon tomorrow!”
"Yes!"
The generals surrendered.
That night, the entire Wei palace suddenly started to move, as if a giant beast had opened its eyes. A large number of officials and officials carrying official duties rushed to the palace, the imperial city, the yamen in the city, and the military camp outside the city.
Gradually, torches lit up the night.
The golden banner with the word "Wei" left the camp, flying in the wind. Under the running of the cavalry, it was held high and headed out of the city. A clan general named Zhao Guiyan jumped out on horseback. In the military camp, he rushed past the soldiers and pulled out the luxurious long sword from his waist. The direction the sword blade crossed was a phalanx formed by countless soldiers, extending to a distance that was beyond the reach of his eyes.
His voice screamed and encouraged in the night.
“…The Yan State in the north has sent their army, and the King of Xia who has rebelled against superiors is abusing our land, using his cruel and dirty sword to massacre the people of Wei State.
Tonight, I have received an order from His Majesty the Emperor of Wei to lead you to fight against them. You will drive away the enemies with me and behead them with me! ”
Zhao Guiyan stopped his horse, turned around, and started running.
"Follow me, Great Wei Xionghu, and stop the iron hoof of the Yan Kingdom!"
The army's front stretched forward and shuttled quickly under the night.
Chunfeng plans this war and when will the appropriate emperor and generals appear, so the update is a little slow!
