Chapter 540: Battle in the Northern Desert (3)
The candle was gone, and Liu Weiguo took Huang Xi to replace the candle. These small things could have been done by the eunuch, but at this moment, the emperor and important officials were discussing military and national affairs. Being able to stand here is a symbol of identity and status.
The goal of the Northern Expedition was the royal court of the Desert people, but as time passed, the goal became more and more distant. We had to worry about climate changes, the front line was too long, and it was easy to fall into siege when retreating. The four people in the tent had discussed it for nearly an hour and basically determined the resolution to attack the Desert people tribe by the Uena River.
In fact, Huang Xi had expected this result. As a secret guard and polite, he not only inquired about the news about the desert, but also did not relax the surveillance within the army. All signs show that the Northern Expedition Army was actually in a dilemma. If you want to advance, your future will be dangerous, and if you want to retreat, your army will be useless. The most important point is that Huang Xi found out that the emperor had the intention to return.
Shi Fangzhen himself may not have realized this emotion, but Huang Xi, as an eunuch and a secret guard, was able to understand the emperor's daily life and diet. From the subtle manifestations of the emperor's life, he keenly realized that the emperor's aspirations when he went to war had been exhausted. Perhaps after a big victory, the army would return decently. The desert tribe by the Uena River was the best return gift for Zheng Jun.
Shi Fangzhen sat back on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows slightly tiredly, and said, "I won't interfere in the specific way of fighting. I will cooperate with what I want."
Two days later, the army set out, with 30,000 light cavalry as the vanguard. Under the leadership of Qi Xinwen, they headed north and pointed directly to the royal court. The three armies that followed were combined into two left and right sides. The left Miaotishan gradually turned to the left. After one day, they left for more than 20 miles and left for fifty miles the next day, gradually advancing towards the Wuera River, but the central army kept moving slowly towards the north.
Wang Keming and Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen agreed to march northward to confuse the people of the Demon people. In fact, after the Light Cavalry advanced for three days, they turned to the southwest and met with the 50,000 infantrymen led by Miao Tieshan to attack the group of Demon people tribes by the Wuena River.
The 180,000 Zheng army in the Northern Expedition were selected and represented the top combat power of Zheng State. The army marched, not only the troops fighting, but also the baggage, auxiliary soldiers and civilians. Nearly 500,000 people spread out on the grassland, which was enough to change the color of the wind and clouds.
Thirty thousand light cavalry drove out, and the horse's hooves trembled. The scouts of the Mo people hiding around immediately discovered the Zheng army's actions. It was like flying out of the grass, and more than ten horses rushed to the north quickly. When marching and fighting, the scouts were eye-catching. The Zheng army had secret guards and scouts, and the Mo people also had corresponding personnel. In addition to the agile scouts, the Dharma King sent the masters of the Sadu Sect to inquire about the news. The Venerable Fuying stood on the treetops on the hills and stared at the endless grassland in front of him.
The light cavalry of the Zheng people swept from a distance like brown waves, and flags like reeds fluttered among the waves. The fu eagle stared at the sound of horse hooves, and its brows gradually frowned. There were no less than 30,000 war horses heading north. Zheng Jun wanted to end the battle before the cold wave came.
"Ba" and a slight sound of dead branches breaking sounded in his ears. The Fuying turned around and looked to the right. On the red pine branch about a meter away, there was a Zheng people dressed in warriors standing on the red pine branch. The Zheng army attacked the desert, and the battle between the large army was as dull as warm water, but the scouts between the two countries were swords and swords, bloody and bloody, and the light and dark guards were light and dark.
More than a hundred people fell on this vast land, and more than forty people in the Sadu Sect died under the masters of Zheng State.
Seven years ago, Fu Ying was ordered to chase Jiang Anyi and was killed and injured. His senior brother Xiong Fu died in Jiang Anyi's hands to protect him. After Fu Ying recovered from his injuries, he felt that his skills were not as good as others, so he chose to practice in peace and experience it in the teachings. Dharma King Badorje taught him the method of hunting wind. A breath of true energy can turn around according to the changes in the outside air in his body, and his body shape was unpredictable, which enhanced the time of flying in the air, making people unable to defend themselves.
During the Zheng army's northern expedition, his martial arts were achieved. Fu Ying asked for his orders to inquire about the news. He thought that he might meet Jiang Anyi on the grassland and avenge his senior brother. After seven years, the senior brother must have been anxious. After killing seven or eight Zheng masters, Fu Ying learned that Jiang Anyi was the governor of Huazhou and was far away in the sky and was not in the team of this Northern Expedition. Since Jiang Anyi did not come, let's use these Zheng masters to pay tribute to his senior brother first. After Zheng's army was defeated, he would go to Huazhou to take Jiang Anyi's life.
With his arms fluttered, the branches under his feet did not vibrate. Fuying rushed towards the Zheng people like a goshawk. Jiang Jian looked at Fuying coldly. Fuying didn't know him, but he knew Fuying. He knew that this man had accompanied the second prince of Beimo to Zheng to propose marriage and was defeated by Jiang Anyi on Qiushou. Later, he chased Jiang Anyi who escaped from the royal court and was injured in Jiang Anyi's hands. His senior brother Xiong Fu died in Jiang Anyi's hands to save him. During the Zheng army's northern expedition, many colleagues from the secret guards died in the hands of this person. He heard that this man was asking about Jiang Anyi's whereabouts, and it seemed that he wanted to take revenge.
Jiang Jian showed a sarcastic smile on his lips. Jiang Anyi had so many enemies. He said that the enemy's enemies were friends, but he could not become friends with this Venerable Fuying. No matter how big the enemy he had, he would never use the hand of the Mo Ren to deal with Jiang Anyi.
The Fuying Venerable was erratic and his energy was difficult to lock in. He thought he had been defeated by Jiang Anyi and had been practicing hard. This was a pity with him. The seven years of hard practice in the Ice Cave gave him more confidence in seeking revenge. So you might as well fight for it first to see who is qualified to reach out to Jiang Anyi.
He poked his right palm out and hit the sky. When the palm wind ignited, Fu Ying's figure happened to appear in the range covered by the palm wind. Fu Ying was startled. There were so many experts from Zheng State. This person not only believed that his body skills fell to his feet, but also that the palm wind was cold and icy, and the green pine branches in front of him instantly flew white. There was no change in the palm wind around him, and his skills were freely controlled without any wasting.
Jiang Jian's palm wind was cold, and Fu Ying was afraid of the evil smell. When she whipped her sleeves, she bulged her light air and hit the palm wind. The strong wind overflowed. Fu Ying turned back with the help of her faint breath, leaving the range covered by the cold wind, and landed lightly on a pine branch five feet away. Then look at the pine needles blown by the palm wind withered and fell from the branches.
The sound of horse hooves rolled in, and Fu Ying raised his palm and bowed: "The military situation is urgent, I am sorry that I cannot accompany you. I will meet you in the future and fight again."
After saying that, Fu Ying flew up and landed on the branch about a meter away. Three or two sides of the line disappeared into the vast sea of pine trees. Jiang Jian did not chase him. First, Fu Ying's body was so skillful that he could not catch up with him. Second, the governor Huang Xi had an explanation. You might as well let some Beimo scammers escape and bring the news of the army going north to the royal court. Why do you do this? Jiang Jian doesn't want to care about it or think about it. He knows that Huang Zhenfu relies heavily on him. All he can do is to lean against this big tree, and one day he will eventually avenge his master.
More than 1,300 miles away, the scouts of the Mo Ren changed horses and people to rush around. On the morning of the third day after the Zheng army set off, the spy was sent to the hands of the goddess Tizhu. He didn't have much skill, so Kunbo and Liman each rushed to the tent with their subordinates, and the quarrel inevitably happened again.
Liman sat calmly on the side and did not join the noise of his subordinates. He looked at his elder brother Kunbo contemptuously. As the main sweater, he had the demeanor of a master, how could he make noise like his subordinates?
Tizhu looked at the out-of-control scene with a headache. Although with the help of the Dharma King, she temporarily tied the two brothers together at the cost of becoming the goddess of the Sadu Cult, it was difficult to treat the symptoms. The two brothers who had their own soldiers wanted to annex each other and became the only khan on the grassland.
After looking at Li Man who was drinking tea quietly, Tizhu asked, "Second brother, the eldest brother means going south to intercept Zheng Jun. What do you think?"
Before coming, Liman had briefly discussed with Qu Nidao. Put down the teacup, Liman said confidently: "I agree with my brother's opinion."
Kunbo was stunned. The second brother always called him a rebellion, but this time he actually followed him. Without reminding his subordinates, Kunbo was alert on his own.
"The State of Zheng invaded our desert for no reason and regarded the eagles on the grassland as nothing is tolerated."
As soon as Liman said something, Kunbo scolded: "Liman, don't learn from Zheng people, just say something."
"The reason why the Zheng people dared to invade my desert is that after my father Khan died, there was no unified Khan on the grassland. The people of the grassland tribe were separated. Both my brother and I wanted to be the Khan king, which made the Zheng people feel that there was an opportunity." Li Man glanced at Kunbo opposite and said bluntly.
Kunbo laughed wildly and said, "The second brother finally told the truth. Otherwise, let's go outside to compete for victory or loss first. The winner will become a great khan and lead everyone to kill the Zheng people."
After looking at Kunbo, who was big and thick, Li Man swallowed secretly. When it comes to fighting, he knew that he was not Kunbo's opponent, but only the bears who could fight were just bears. A strange smile appeared on Li Man's face and said, "How can the enemy be in front of him? He has the ability to attack Zheng Jun."
Tizhu was a little surprised. Under the enemy's siege, the two brothers were finally able to abandon their past grudges and cooperate. They were afraid that they would say too much. Tizhu stood up with a smile and said, "Since the two brothers agreed to fight against Zheng's army, of course, the younger sister cannot fall behind. She will personally lead the Golden Wolf Army as the backing."
Zuo Daqiu Subnaying's daughter has become the side rank of Kunbo. As her father-in-law, she naturally has to face her son-in-law. Xubnaying is an important minister in charge of the government affairs of the royal court, and now she is Kunbo's most important counselor. Seeing that everyone is determined to fight against Zheng's army, he thought about it and got up to touch Tizhu's chest and said, "Goddess, there are no wolf in the wolf pack, and even the sheep dare to be arrogant. There are no khans in the grassland, and even Zheng dares to rush the army north. The old minister believes that the Khan King should be elected as soon as possible. This time, this decisive battle with the Zheng army, and the one who chose to retreat from Zheng's army among the two princes is the Khan King. I wonder what the Goddess think?"
