When he left, Tsuneshiro was still cursing. But Xu Mu was indifferent and Quan turned a deaf ear.
"Yu Wen, the military training matters will be left to you for the time being."
No matter how long it takes to practice, as long as you practice it, it will definitely be useful. If we go to the border, we still have to wait for the 20,000 people mobilized by Chang Shiro and the mobilized civilians to collect the food and grass.
"Cao Hong, send someone back to the military advisor. Tell the military advisor that according to his wishes, Fufeng City should be taken first."
Fufeng City is the small city that Jia Zhou said he wanted to take down. It is located on the border of Shuzhou. It is a place where no one cares. It is occupied by thousands of defeated troops.
Abandoning the court, he finally wanted a place to live. Don't even think about the inner city. Uncle Chang has 50,000 or 60,000 troops on his face, not counting the defeated soldiers who are willing to follow the rebellion.
Even Yuan An of Changyang City had more than 40,000 national salvation battalions under his command, plus Chen Changqing's 30,000 troops.
There are also many, many various forces that are moving secretly.
If he stays here, he may be eaten up to nothing. The best result is that he can only rely on Tsuneshiro. But he didn't want to take this road.
Until now, he suddenly understood.
What Yuan Tao left behind was not a crumbling dynasty that was raised up, but a splash of blood and a sincere heart that should be in the world.
"Array-"
Not far away, Yu Wen Lianjun's voice rang loudly.
…
Outside the mountain hunting village, there is a solitary big tree, with a few new shoots still vaguely visible.
Jia Zhou crossed his legs, rolled up the letter in his hand, looked at it, his expression changed slightly, and he smiled.
"Leader of the guard."
Wei Feng hurriedly threw away the little village woman who was talking and ran over.
"What?"
"Early tomorrow morning, take some people and follow me into Fufeng City."
"Why are you going there? It costs eight copper coins to buy a bowl of tea."
"No nonsense, Fu Feng City will be our home from now on."
Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak again, a ball of crumpled paper was immediately handed over to him.
"I'm not a stupid tiger, I won't eat this."
Jia Zhou stood up slowly, raised his head, and looked at the mountains in the distance.
"My lord is going to the border. When he comes back, this Fufeng City will be considered a generous gift from us."
"Siege the city?"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan."
"That's not right, military advisor. My boss is going to the border. Why don't we follow?"
"He has someone. This time, our little boss will become a general, unlike the last time Baiqi entered the border."
Wei Feng seemed to understand but could only nod his head in confusion.
…
A figure on horseback hurriedly came from the border gate, his face covered with dust, and the robes and armor on his body seemed to be stained with blood.
Before Laoguan, he stopped his horse, raised his head steadily, looked at the corpse of the Di envoy hanging under Laoguan, and showed a sad and hoarse smile.
"Old soldier Chen Daer of Wangzhou is calling for help in the inner city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body tilted and fell to the ground.
At night, a group of people on horseback arrived at Laoguan.
"How did he get across Hezhou?" After walking into the post house, Chang Silang crossed his hands and looked at the old soldier on the bed.
Hezhou, like Wangzhou, is a border city rebuilt from a pass. If Zhao Qingyun didn't agree, the veteran who asked for help would definitely not be able to get to Hezhou.
"My little boss went over Tuotou Mountain. Veteran General Lian Yong also knows about this." The old counselor next to him replied in a solemn voice.
"The key is, Zhao Qingyun, the son of a bitch, really wants to surrender to the enemy?"
"Master, I can't see clearly either... Look at him, his hair is all gray, and the knife hanging on the horse's girdle is stained with rust."
Changshiro was silent for a while, his face slightly unhappy.
"The foolish emperor in Changyang thought that the dog official who went to negotiate peace would have arrived in Hezhou soon."
In fact, not long after he passed through Laoguan, he sent people to chase and kill him, and his body was buried with three layers of soil.
"Then Master, why did you let the dog officer from Changyang pass the old pass?"
"When we attack Changyang in the future, we should have a name for ourselves."
Tsuneshiro wrinkled his nose and walked out of the inn slowly.
After standing under the moonlight and thinking for a while, he suddenly got on his horse and rode towards Qingquan City alone. In just three or four hours, he rushed to Qingquan City.
Xu Mu was still sleeping soundly. When he heard the news that Uncle Chang had entered the city, he hurriedly got up.
Tsuneshiro opened the door with a displeased look on his face and sat straight on the chair.
"What?"
"Asking for reinforcements, the old soldiers entered the inner city. It can be seen that the Wangzhou side will not be able to hold on." After a pause, Chang Silang added, "In addition, I will chase and kill the peace envoys sent by the court."
Not only the envoys sent by Daji Chaotang, but also those sent by Beidi, all the envoys on both sides were killed by Chang Shiro.
"Little boss, did I do anything wrong?"
"No, the Marquis would be just as capable of killing him."
"That's it, you can just enter the border. As for Zhao Qingyun, I believe in you if you think of any way to cross Hezhou."
"How many people does Zhao Qingyun have?"
"Twenty thousand light cavalry, twenty thousand foot bows. I have some suspicions that he has surrendered to the enemy-" Chang Shiro paused, and his expression suddenly became hesitant to speak.
Xu Mu, who was standing by, also had a strange look on his face.
"If Wangzhou falls and Zhao Qingyun of Hezhou surrenders to the enemy, then the Beidi army will attack Laoguan."
"Laoguan is the last barrier for Beidi people to conquer the Central Plains."
"The matter is very serious. I am not being alarmist. Of course, I also hope that I am overthinking it."
"I'll prepare and go to the border immediately." Xu Mu frowned and sighed in his heart. This journey took almost half a month.
In fact, he moved very quickly. After leaving Changyang, they entered Qingquan City, waiting for the mobilization of grain and grass. After training the new army, they immediately rushed to the border.
"What happens next, if something goes wrong, send me a letter and I will lead the army there. If Di Gou enters the Central Plains, he will not be able to live with his eggs hanging. He can just cut his face and jump into the river."
This truth is actually very easy to understand. However, there are always some fools who have to think before and after.
"Where's the old soldier?"
"I was still in a coma. Just before I arrived at Laoguan, I fell over and passed out. The horse I was riding could not even straighten its hooves."
…
It's not early morning yet.
The old soldier woke up, evaded the patrollers, stole an old horse, and rode alone into Changyang.
"The military situation at the border is on fire! Three red feathers are rushing!" Outside the palace, he used up all his strength in his life to shout.
No one paid attention to him. Even the eunuch who delivered the military report did not dare to leave the palace, as if he had received some order.
In the end, it was the two assistant generals from the national salvation camp who couldn't help but want to help him into the palace.
"His Majesty has decreed that the Ministry of War has ordered him to be carried out of the palace immediately!"
The two generals had red eyes and did not dare to disobey their orders, so they could only carefully carry the old soldier out of the palace.
The scholars passing by laughed wildly, and the people passing by shook their heads and sighed.
"Wangzhou old soldier camped Chen Daer, asking for help in the inner city."
He took out an old roll of hemp rope from the saddlebags under the horse's belly.
He is a military officer and does not understand the advice of scholars. But after all, I have heard that heroes are not afraid of death, and rivers and mountains cannot be broken.
"Your Majesty, please rescue the border. This four-hundred-year-old country cannot be tainted by thieves!"
"Expel Digou!"
A corpse was hanging on the street outside the palace.
The wind in the street is cold.
