Anbei Protectorate, in the government office.
Liu Wu quickly walked into the hall, raised his hand to Di Qing, and said: "Grand Governor, we found it."
After saying that, he straightened up and walked forward to a position southeast of the Anbei Protectorate on the map.
"The Mongolian Yuan army is stationed fifty miles away from Shuozhou. It seems that they want to go north from here and cut off our retreat."
After that, Liu Wu raised his finger a little higher and said again: "Hugrimai's army retreated here. Some scouts saw five or six cavalry squads coming out of his camp, three in a team, going to different places. place."
Di Qing looked grave and asked, "Do they have any intention of sending troops?"
Liu Wu thought for a while and replied: "Not yet, but I think there must be more than two groups in Meng Yuan. What we have found so far is only the Shuozhou side, but there should be reinforcements."
"I see."
Di Qing nodded, thinking to himself.
The current situation is that the Meng Yuan side is ready for a war on both sides, and the Daqian side has been fighting continuously and is depleted of men and horses. Not long after the Anbei Protectorate took over, the situation has improved slightly.
Meng Yuan went south like this, and all his previous efforts were in vain.
But.
Di Qing also knew about Prince Xiao Yi's plan, which was to gain the hearts and minds of the northern barbarians by appeasing the Jin people.
The world is unified.
Prince Xiao Yi has the ambition to conquer the world.
A golden land is nothing.
There will be a second and third Anbei Protectorate in the future.
In the future, the world will definitely be unified, and there will no longer be distinctions between Han and barbarians, they will all be Dagan people and Central Plains people.
Therefore, the Anbei Protectorate actually does not play a big role. When it comes to land, Daqian has a vast territory, as well as Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road and other places. In these places, even if there are deep mountains and old forests on the Lingnan side, there are This miasma is much better than the bitter cold in the north.
Moreover, with the Anxi Protectorate in Daqian, there is no shortage of racecourses.
Compared to Lingnan Road, Wulancha is still far behind.
But if Daqian wanted to engulf the world and establish a country without distinction between Han and barbarians, he must use this opportunity to show the people of Meng Yuan, the people of Beiyan, and even the Jin people the dynasty of Daqian. The prestige of the country.
Di Qing did not object to this plan. He was a warrior and naturally wanted to open up territory for Daqian. He also wanted to become a person like Yue Shan. He also wanted to be granted the title of a county king when he grew old.
"Let's wait a little longer. Food supplies and people are evacuating. We have to stay at the end. Don't worry, General Xin from Jinyang will meet us."
Liu Wu cupped his hands and said, "Here!"
"The Mengyuan side wants to cut off our retreat. Unless they can stop Jinwu Guards in Jinyang, otherwise, instead of cutting off our retreat, we will be attacked from both sides and seek death!"
Di Qing asked a deputy general next to him: "How are the people evacuating from the Duhu Mansion?"
The deputy general replied: "There are still 2,362 households. Among them, more than a thousand households have expressed that they do not want to leave. They have been in Ulancha for generations and do not want to leave their homeland."
Di Qing said directly: "If you don't want to leave, don't leave. Since they are willing to stay, we can't force them to leave."
"When the Meng Yuan cavalry arrives, they will know that Da Gan is their benefactor!"
The deputy general cupped his hands and said, "Here."
Di Qing looked at the map again.
He wanted to try out the Meng Yuan cavalry front before leaving.
It is said that Meng Yuan is invincible if he has less than ten thousand men.
Fighting against Huge Rimai, a man with ten thousand households, he felt that the Meng Yuan cavalry were indeed very strong, but not so strong that they were invincible.
Di Qing did not act impulsively, but already had a relatively mature idea.
If Meng Yuan wants to swallow him as a military guard, then he should let Meng Yuan know that Da Gan is still the powerful and invincible Da Gan!
…
Several secret reports reached Jinyang.
After Xin Qiji read it, he summoned someone and said, "Spread out the map and call the lieutenants to come and discuss matters."
After a while, the map was spread out and hung on a wooden railing in the hall.
The lieutenants are also here.
Xin Qiji said: "There is news that the Meng Yuan cavalry has arrived outside Shuozhou and seems to want to go south to seize the border."
"Your Highness is right. Han and traitors are not at odds with each other. Meng Yuan is determined to go south. Sooner or later we will have a fight with Meng Yuan."
"Just a few days ago, Meng Yuan's cavalry arrived at the Anbei Protectorate. However, they were surprised by the armed guards and failed to break through the city. They retreated dozens of miles to the Anbei Protectorate."
"Now that the Meng Yuan cavalry arrives in Shuozhou, they will definitely attack Shuozhou. At the same time, they may also want to march eastward to stop the armed guards of the Anbei Protectorate."
When Xin Qiji said this, he looked at the lieutenants present. They knew that the matter was serious, but they were somewhat tired due to several battles in the past few years.
"Everyone, Meng Yuan is going south. It seems that it is indeed menacing, and Meng Yuan's cavalry is indeed very strong."
"But, are we afraid just because they are strong?"
"Are we flustered and panicked just because of the massive invasion by the Mongolian and Yuan armies?"
"What are we?"
"We are the Imperial Guards!"
"It was the Imperial Guards that defeated Li Thief and Xixia!"
"We have never been weak!"
"It's time for Meng Yuan to know once again that Daqian is their invincible kingdom!"
The lieutenants then regained their energy and shouted: "If you go strong, you will win, if you go big, you will win, if you go big, you will win!"
Xin Qiji said in a deep voice: "Now, Jinwu's guards are divided into two groups, heading all the way to Shuozhou. They are on standby at any time. If Meng Yuan attacks the city, they will defend it to the death."
"Go all the way to the south of the Anbei Protectorate and hide well. Once Meng Yuan wants to cut off the retreat of the armed guards, you will immediately send troops to attack Meng Yuan's rear camp and make Meng Yuan vulnerable from both sides!"
One of the lieutenants asked: "General, is it too late?"
Xin Qiji nodded and said solemnly: "It's too late. The capital has actually received the news."
"His Royal Highness is so powerful and strategizing. We must believe in His Highness."
"This time, Daqian will definitely be able to permanently solve the problem of barbarians in the North!"
The lieutenants are also very excited. There have indeed been several battles in the past few years, but now they all know that after this battle, it will be the best time for them to get promoted.
After this battle, it will be remembered in history.
Daqian will also usher in an unprecedented prosperous era.
You must know that His Royal Highness the Prince directly pacified Xixia and established the Anxi Protectorate. It is no longer like before, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak.
…
The East Palace of Chang'an City in Daqian.
Xi Zheng Palace.
"Attack Shuozhou and capture the Anbei Protectorate?"
After Xiao Yi got the battle report, he directly asked someone to bring the map and look at it.
He always felt that Meng Yuan's dispatch of troops this time would not be so simple. What could the Anbei Protectorate have?
Do you want to swallow one of Dagan's military guards first?
Xiao Yi thought for a long time, but heard an announcement outside the door, and then Huaiji stepped forward.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the Anxi Protectorate!"
