The content on the letter was very similar to what Liu Song dictated. When he saw the dragon seal at the bottom of the letter, Zhou Baoyu was sure that Liu Song did not fake the order.
But now the war has reached its final moment. If we withdraw our troops and return to defend Yingzhou at this moment, wouldn't all our efforts and hard work be wasted?
It’s impossible for the prince not to know what it means to unify the world, but he still received such a letter without any warning. Could something big have happened?
Extremely urgent! Extremely urgent!
What on earth is more urgent than the unification of the world? Another vassal king took advantage of the empty troops in the rear to raise troops to rebel? Do you need yourself and others to immediately go back to Qin Wang for help?
"Report, Yingzhou Golden Eagle passed the message."
While Zhou Baoyu was in deep thought, a personal guard ran in holding a bamboo tube in his hand.
Zhou Baoyu took the bamboo tube, took out the letter and started reading.
'The squadron returned to the city and reorganized the army to prepare for war. '
Looking at the eight big characters and the big seal on the note, Zhou Baoyu took a breath, and the hand holding the note couldn't help but tremble.
"Report, Yingzhou Golden Eagle sent a message!"
here we go again?
"Send it up!"
"yes!"
Zhou Baoyu took out a piece of letter paper again and carefully reviewed the content on it.
There are a hundred words in the whole article, but Zhou Baoyu only has the four characters "side by side and Wang Xi" lingering in his mind, and the rest of the content is completely unthoughtful.
Zhou Baoyu's eyes trembled a few times, and he read the content on the paper several times. The big words "Wang Ji" still made Zhou Baoyu's blood surge and his eyes became dizzy.
The letter in his hand slipped quietly, and Zhou Baoyu stumbled around a few times before falling forward.
Liu Song, with quick eyes and quick hands, helped Zhou Baoyu: "General Zhou, are you okay?"
Zhou Baoyu held Liu Song's arm and breathed heavily: "No...it's okay!"
"Xiao Liu, pick up the letter and return it to General Zhou!"
"I know, Brother Song!"
"General Zhou, your letter."
"Thank you for this..."
Before Zhou Baoyu could finish a sentence, Liu Song snatched the letter from Xiaoliu's hand and looked at the end of the letter with wide eyes at the four characters "Wang Xie". His hands kept shaking, with disbelief in his eyes. of light.
It was too late for Zhou Baoyu to take back the letter, Liu Song had already read the four words at the end.
"Brother Liu Song, this could be... it could be..."
Liu Song handed the letter to Zhou Baoyu, turned around and grabbed the armor of the soldier standing on one side delivering the message.
"It's fake. This letter didn't come from Yingzhou in northern Xinjiang, right? You are a spy. You are a spy from the two countries, right?
Fake, all fake.
right? right? "
The soldiers looked at Liu Song's crazy look in astonishment and shook their heads hastily.
"No...no, I'm not a spy.
The letter paper really came from Northern Xinjiang, and there were marks on the bamboo tube. It was impossible for me to make a mistake. "
Zhou Baoyu raised his hand and broke away Liu Song's hands holding the soldiers: "Brother Liu Song, calm down. Now is not the time to be dizzy. The most urgent thing is to rush back to Northern Xinjiang immediately."
"You, call five brothers immediately and bring five golden eagles over."
The soldier glanced helplessly at the crazy-looking Liu Song and saluted Zhou Baoyu!
"Got the order!"
"Impossible, impossible, how could the young master go? It's fake, it must be fake!"
"Brother Liu Song, calm down. I will immediately send an order to gather troops."
"Somebody come!"
"Here, please give me your orders, General!"
"Send the order, set off the camp and gather the troops!"
"Got the order!"
After the messengers left, Zhou Baoyu took out the simple Four Treasures of the Study and started writing on the low table.
"Brother Liu Song, except for the Polu army under my command, the other brothers of the Five Guards are all scattered on the grassland and cooperate with the main infantry to guerrilla the enemy forces of the two countries.
It would be impossible to gather them all without three or five days. I immediately sent a message to the other five generals, asking them to immediately summon the guards from each battalion under their command to gather towards the main general's position.
After I pass the message, we will move towards the other guards first, and then the entire army will return to guard Yingzhou. "
Liu Song nodded absently: "You are the commander-in-chief of the three armies, so just follow General Zhou's wishes!"
"Report to the general, the troops have begun to gather. Please give the general combat instructions."
"Attack the Salu tribe and join forces with the Hundred Wars Army!"
"Yeah...ah? Aren't the five battalions spread out in a row, gathering together to encircle and suppress the enemy troops?"
"The order has changed, follow the order."
"I have been ordered to resign from my humble position!"
In less than a cup of tea after the messenger left, the sound of horse hooves outside made the ground tremble, and tens of thousands of cavalry began to break camp.
Qu ran in angrily, with doubts on his face.
"General, I heard from the commander that the battle plan has changed. What's going on? Join forces directly with the brothers from the Hundred War Army. There are three tribes on the way. What if something slips through the net?"
"General Qu!"
"exist!"
"The general has his own arrangements for the issues you are worried about. Just follow orders."
"This...is an order!"
In about two-quarters of an hour, more than 40,000 Polu army cavalry packed up their gear. Under the order of Zhou Baoyu Lingqi, they skipped making fire and cooked food and ate dry food and headed towards the Salu tribe's Baizhan Army to gather troops. go.
While Liu Song was galloping, he observed Liu Chengqian's expression on one side. After hesitating for a long time, he finally suppressed the news that the young master might not be alive and did not tell Liu Chengqian.
Under the command of Zhou Baoyu, the Polu army rushed north to gather with the other brothers of the Five Guards.
The remaining five guardsmen did not know the news that Liu Mingzhi asked Liu Song to come to the grassland to deliver a message. They were following Yunyang's order and slowly approaching the last living space of the two countries.
Six hundred miles in radius is not a small area.
However, it is not too difficult to spread out nearly a million soldiers and horses.
The soldiers and horses of the two countries have only two paths in front of them.
Either stop in the south of Yinshan Mountain and fight to the death with the chasing dragon soldiers and horses, or escape north of Yinshan Mountain and escape to the land of Mobei that few people have set foot on.
In fact, there is a third way to go, which is to surrender.
However, if the soldiers of the two countries really wanted to abandon their weapons and surrender, they would not have resisted for so long under the attack of the Northern Expedition.
On the grassland more than 300 miles south of Yinshan Mountain, even the nomadic Turks rarely come to graze in this land, not because the pasture is not abundant, but because it is too remote.
So remote that it’s so deserted.
In addition to being forced to do nothing, few Turkic tribes in peacetime would come here to herd horses, no matter how abundant the pasture was.
But now, not only the dozens of Turkic tribes, but also the last remnants of the Jin Kingdom are being pursued and intercepted by the dragon, and they have no choice but to set foot here.
Facing the rays of the sun, hundreds of mounted Turkic scouts gathered from all directions and rushed towards the main tent of the Chinese army of the two countries.
Under their investigation, they found that Dalong's enemy army had completely launched an encirclement and continued to encircle and suppress the Yinshan location. They were anxious to inform the Great Khan of this news.
At the same time, hundreds of cavalry-related secret agents were escorting a veiled woman out of seclusion and heading deeper into the Turkic grassland.
For a time, following the movements of soldiers and horses from all parties.
The final outcome of the troops of the two countries is unpredictable.
