A night of silence.
At Mao hour the next day.
Smoke rose slowly into the sky from a temporary camp more than fifty miles away from Yunzhong County.
As the smoke curled up.
The originally silent temporary camp gradually woke up from its slumber.
Inside the tent of the Chinese army in the temporary camp.
Li Ling, the general of Zhengbei, wearing bright silver armor, stood quietly in the upper position with his hands behind his back.
in front of him.
Several captains in full armor were lined up straight on the left and right sides of the tent.
"At half past midnight, the army officially set off."
Li Ling stood at the top, glanced at the slowly dissipating smoke outside the tent through the wide-open curtain of the Chinese army's tent, and calmly ordered.
"Follow the order!"
Several school captains in full armor heard this and saluted with clasped fists.
Li Ling slowly scanned the crowd and nodded imperceptibly.
Then he ordered again: "Today's march, everything will be as usual."
The words are over.
Li Ling waved his hand slightly, signaling the captains to return to their headquarters and make some preparations.
"Follow the order!"
Upon seeing this, the lieutenants clasped their fists and saluted again, and then slowly exited the Chinese army's tent.
Wait until the figures of the captains completely disappeared behind the Chinese army tent.
Li Zhong, the family general who always stood beside Li Ling, opened and remained silent several times with hesitation on his face.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Li Ling glanced at Li Zhong, then slowly sat down to study his ink and said, "When did you become so hesitant?"
Li Zhong sighed in his heart when he heard this.
Then he no longer hesitated and straightened his fists in salute and said, "General, can you inform Lin Heyun's troops about this departure?"
Li Ling still kept turning the ink in his hand in the inkstone at a leisurely pace.
Tens of breaths later.
After grinding the ink.
Li Ling took out a piece of properly cut rice paper from the side of the writing desk.
Then he picked up a Langhao pen, dabbed the ink lightly, and then slowly started writing on the rice paper.
Another dozen breaths.
Li Ling slowly put down the Langhao pen in his hand and gently leaned over to dry the ink on the rice paper.
Wait for the ink to dry.
Li Ling calmly took off the general seal from his waist.
"Ha~"
After a brief breath, Li Ling slowly placed the seal in his hand on the lower right corner of the rice paper.
"After the army departs, send someone to deliver this document to Lin Heyun's camp."
"Just deliver it according to the court rules. No words are needed during this period."
Li Ling slowly lifted up the rice paper with the seal of General Zhengbei on the desk.
After putting it in the envelope and sealing it with sealant, it was immediately handed to Li Zhong, who was just a stone's throw away.
Li Zhong clasped his fists and saluted with a clear look on his face: "Follow the order!"
After saying this, Li Zhong quickly exited the Chinese army's tent with the document in hand.
After Li Zhong's figure completely disappeared behind the Chinese army's tent.
Li Ling sighed helplessly: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
The reason why he informed Lin Heyun was in the form of a document.
Its ultimate purpose is simply to prevent Lin Heyun or King Zhao behind him from jumping over the wall and biting him indiscriminately.
...
...
Halfway through Mao time.
Li Ling's five thousand infantry, three thousand cavalry and more than ten thousand civilians broke out of camp on time.
Finally, when Chen time is coming.
On the road outside Yunzhong County, a huge dragon with no head in front and no tail behind is formed.
at the same time.
Several soldiers wearing half-armour, with military order flags bearing the word "Li" on their waists, carrying tall horses, came out of the empty temporary camp.
Running wildly all the way, we finally arrived three miles away from the original temporary camp.
In another camp.
On the occasion of its arrival.
Smoke was rising from inside the camp.
"Report!" the leader yelled as he approached the main entrance of the camp, and then said loudly: "General Zhengbei has a document for General Lin He Yunlin! Please receive it quickly."
The words are over.
The leader immediately tightened the reins and made the war horse stand in front of the main gate of the camp.
After a while.
A man in full armor came out of the main gate of the camp.
"Just give me the paperwork."
The man in full armor stood in front of the leader and slowly stretched out his hand.
"Can."
The leader agreed after getting off his horse.
The words are over.
The leader immediately took out a document and a piece of paper with writing on it from his arms.
After handing the paper with the writing on it to the man in full armor in front of him.
He slowly said, "I also ask this general to put his seal on the document."
The man in full armor didn't think much after hearing this.
He reached out to take the document and stamped his official seal on the document in accordance with the rules.
"Bring me the paperwork."
The man in full armor handed the document stamped with his official seal to the leader.
After the two parties exchange letters.
The leader took a closer look, then clasped his fists and said, "Farewell."
The words are over.
The two of them turned around and ran in completely opposite directions.
After a while.
Men in full armor walked to the Chinese army's tent.
Facing the Chinese army's tent, he clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "General, the general's documents for conquering the north have arrived."
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Lin Heyun frowned slightly when he heard this.
After pondering for a few breaths, he slowly said, "Come in."
"Yes." The man in full armor responded, then gently opened the door curtain and stepped in.
As soon as the man walked into the Chinese army's tent, he clasped his fists again and saluted: "General."
The words are over.
The man slowly stepped forward holding the document in both hands.
Lin Heyun took the document expressionlessly, tore open the envelope and took out the document wrapped inside.
Tens of breaths later.
The corners of Lin Heyun's mouth raised slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
"When did Li Ling become so fearful?" Lin Heyun sneered sarcastically, then slowly waved his hand and said, "Send the order, and the whole army will set off after breakfast."
"Follow the order!" The lieutenant general in full armor said immediately with clasped fists and a salute after hearing this.
After the deputy general's figure completely disappeared behind the Chinese army's tent.
The sarcasm on Lin Heyun's lips disappeared instantly without a trace.
What replaced it was deep longing and reluctance.
"Ping'er." Lin Heyun stared in the direction of Yunzhong County and murmured to himself full of concern and reluctance: "If your father is really unfortunate enough to die in battle, you must be filial to your mother in the future and take care of her. Your brothers and sisters."
The words are over.
Two lines of turbid tears slowly fell from the corners of Lin Heyun's eyes.
He still remembers the eve of the expedition very clearly.
The scene when Zhao Wang Xu Cheng secretly went to his mansion to have a long talk with him.
It was from then on.
Lin Heyun completely understood why Zhao Wang Xu Cheng deliberately found so many excuses to delay sending troops after receiving the imperial edict.
Its ultimate purpose is nothing more than to express its dissatisfaction with the move to reduce the vassal state to the court.
at the same time.
To prevent the imperial court from settling accounts in the future, or to show loyalty?
Or is it for a larger plot?
During the long conversation that night, Zhao Wang Xu Cheng clearly stated the casualty rate of his troops in this expedition to Mobei!
Yes, no matter what this time! The five thousand soldiers who went out to fight were killed
At least half of them need to be killed or injured!
Zhao Wang Xu Cheng's move undoubtedly made the already dangerous and unpredictable battlefield even more unpredictable.
Lin Heyun didn't know whether he could escape unscathed in such a situation.
Of course.
In addition to acting according to the orders of Zhao Wang Xu Cheng, what else can he do?
Resist?
Serving the good and violating the secret?
The lives of his entire family could depend on just one thought!
As long as he has the slightest dissatisfaction, and based on his understanding of Zhao Wang Xu Cheng, his family will never see the sun of tomorrow again!
"What are you planning?"
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Lin Heyun slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and slowly raised his head to look at the location of Yunzhong County.
I don’t know how many times I asked myself in confusion.
Of course.
Perhaps there will be no one in this life who can help explain my confusion.
Halfway through Chen hour.
The Chinese army tent where Lin Heyun was located rose from the ground.
Then, five thousand cavalrymen followed Li Ling's troops three miles away slowly as usual.
Li Ling's troops are quick, and his actions are quick.
Li Ling's subordinates are slow, and his defecation is slow.
Every move he makes is really filled with a particularly strong charm of confusion.
It makes it impossible for people to easily explore their true meaning from their words and deeds.
.......
.......
at the same time.
Yanmen County is more than two hundred miles away.
A cavalry team of five thousand men abandoned most of their baggage.
The horse galloped all the way across the endless Mobei Plain.
The endless yellow sand brought up along the way has never dispersed for a long time.
I do not know how long it has been.
The cavalry army of five thousand people gradually slowed down their horses by a stream.
Then he walked slowly for several miles.
The cavalry army of 5,000 people had just come to a complete standstill.
"Rest where you are for two quarters of an hour!"
"Everyone immediately dismounted and washed the horses' nostrils in an orderly manner!"
"After washing! Everyone drinks! Everyone eats!"
A middle-aged general dressed in black and bright armor stood beside a general flag with the character "Yu" and ordered slowly and methodically.
Next to the general's flag with the character "Yu", there is also a large king's flag.
The king's flag is embroidered with green dragons all around, and a large word "Genesis" is embroidered with golden silk thread in the center.
Apparently this 5,000-man cavalry army came from the command of King Xu Qi.
If Xu Yi were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the middle-aged general wearing black and bright armor at a glance.
That person was none other than Yu Yafu, whom he had met once before in Dai Wangfu.
At the same time, there is Yu Yafu, who acts like the right-hand man in the mouth of the acting king Xu Qi!
Yu Yafu stood under the flag with the character "Yu" in his hand, holding a map that corresponded with the surrounding formations.
Weiwei waved her hand to summon the military herald.
"If you pass on the order, we will approach Minghu Mountain in three or four days at most!"
"Brothers, let's hold on and hold on! We'll have to march for another day and a half at most!"
"After this triumphant victory, the prince will definitely be richly rewarded!"
Yu Yafu slowly closed the map of Kanyu in his hand, faced the herald and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
When the herald heard this, he clasped his fists heavily and saluted.
The words are over.
The herald turned quickly and ran towards his horse.
Then he personally led the military command team and kept running among the five thousand soldiers.
As the military order team continued to run, the military order issued by Yu Yafu spread throughout the army at a flying speed.
"Yu." The character will be under the banner.
Yu Yafu reached out and took the water bag from the guard.
While drinking water in small sips, he kept looking at the people in front of him who were either familiar or familiar or familiar.
Unfamiliar faces.
An undetectable look of unbearability flashed across his eyes.
Then it was completely replaced by a look of determination.
If anyone among the vassal kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to see the move to reduce the vassalage the most.
In addition to Xu Yi, it must be Xu Qi, the king of that generation.
Of course.
Not wanting is just unwillingness.
Xu Qi's temperament that is good at forbearance.
No matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he will not let the slightest bit of unwillingness show to the outside.
Not only does it not show the slightest reluctance or dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, he will go beyond everyone's expectations and do his best to "cooperate" with the imperial court in reducing the vassal state.
Everyone's calculations are really not enough for outsiders.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The horses and men are properly rested.
The character "Yu" will be under the banner.
Yu Yafu slowly turned his eyes.
After having a clear view of the current situation of all the soldiers.
Yu Yafu waved his hand slightly and said: "Send the order! The army is ready to set off! After marching for twenty miles, we will rest again!"
"Follow the order!" The herald who was always waiting for orders beside him once again clasped his fists and saluted after hearing this.
As soon as he finished speaking, the military command team ran wildly again.
Yu Yafu took the reins from the guard and slowly climbed onto the horse.
It doesn't take a while.
Five thousand cavalry troops once again galloped across the endless prairie!
The "yellow sand" that had just dissipated not long ago filled the space between heaven and earth again as the horses galloped all the way.
...
...
Time flies.
Three days later.
October 19, the 30th year of Zhengde.
Halfway through Mao time.
A touch of fish belly white appeared on the eastern sky.
Wearing bright armor, Wei Guogong Gu Zhanying hurriedly broke into the Chinese army's tent.
"General! Something bad has happened!"
As soon as Gu Zhanying broke into the Chinese army's tent, he shouted anxiously.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Hearing the sound, General Li Guangli jumped up from the bed with a "soaring" sound.
Then he asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "Why are you so panicked?"
The words are over.
Li Guangli didn't bother to dress neatly and hurriedly walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
"General." Gu Zhanying took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and quickly replied: "There is a risk of bombing the camp in the army!"
"Huh?" Li Guangli frowned and shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the newly awakened chaotic thoughts in his mind.
After counting the interest.
Li Guangli hurriedly asked: "How can you see it? But what are the signs?"
Almost instantly, all the information about the bombing of the camp appeared in Li Guangli's mind.
His back was completely wet with cold sweat when Gu Zhanying said the word "bombing the camp".
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhanying quickly took out something from his arms.
He quickly stepped forward and presented the object to Li Guangli.
After Li Guangli took the thing.
Gu Zhanying quickly said: "Just now, the last general was ordered to inspect the camp."
"Suddenly, hundreds of arrows were shot from outside the camp."
"By the time I finally ordered my troops to pursue them, the enemy troops that sneaked into the vicinity of the camp had already disappeared."
"After the general had no choice but to return to the camp, he discovered that the hundreds of arrows contained this letter!"
"Moreover, there are more than ten letters among them that were opened secretly by someone unknown."
"I think the person who secretly opened the letter must have read the contents."
"If the contents of the letter were quietly circulated among the army."
"It is very likely to trigger a bombing of the camp."
On the occasion of Gu Zhanying’s quick introduction.
plum
Guangli has quickly opened the letter in his hand.
and view them quickly at a glance.
At this glance.
Li Guangli's already gloomy face suddenly became so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
