880. The situation changes again

The carrier pigeon flew to Kuizhou Prefecture.

At this time, in Kaizhou, Nanping Army, Peizhou, Yue Peng, Xiao Yulin, Zhao Da and others were still escorting the people of various cities to Tongchuan and Chongqing.

The White Horse Army of the New Song Dynasty went deep into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but the number of guards in the cities of the Great Song Dynasty was not large. This was done to avoid the loss of life among the people and also to reduce the land that the White Horse Army could occupy.

This is Qingye.

As long as the Song Dynasty gathers more and more people in the cities and their food and supplies to those cities guarded by heavy troops, it will be difficult for the New Song army to find a source of food and supplies in the territory of the Song Dynasty. At that time, the New Song army that penetrated deep into Kuizhou will become an isolated army, and it will be not far from defeat.

When Zhao Dongting's secret letter was transmitted to Tongchuan and Chongqing Prefecture, there were fast horses in the two cities heading towards Peiling, Nanchuan, Kaijiang and other cities, and then spread to Qingshui and other counties.

Zhao Dongting's meaning was conveyed to the army.

In just two days, the imperial guards in Qingshui County arrived in Kaijiang and Liu Zijun, and Xiao Yulin's army gathered again. They left Kaijiang and headed to Yun'anzhou next to them.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu gathered in Longwu County, Peizhou and headed east to Pengshui, Qianzhou.

Yue Peng personally led the Tiankui army to Qianzhou through Peizhou, but on this day, a knight rushed to the military camp.

Military camps in Nanchuan City.

Several soldiers ran to Yue Peng's tent, turned over and got off the horse and knelt down: "Wang Dagang, the commander of the Leyuan Guard, asked to see Yue Zhuang!"

Judging from their military uniform style, they are somewhat different from Yue Peng's Tiankui Army.

The imperial guards mostly use ink or blood, and only the defenders wear dark brown or silver-white armor.

"Enter!"

Yue Peng's voice came from the tent.

He is the marshal of Zhenxi Military Region and is also regarded as the boss of Wang Dagang, the commander of the Leyuan Guardian Army. Because the defenders of each city are under the dual jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and the Military Region.

Wang Dagang stood up and walked into the camp, and several personal guards who came with him were waiting outside.

As soon as he entered, Wang Dagang saw Yue Peng sitting in the main seat and was stunned.

Yue Peng was as young as he imagined, but his aura was much stronger than he imagined.

In terms of age, Wang Dagang, who is about 40 years old, can be said to be Yue Peng's elder brother. But at this moment, he felt a little nervous.

Yue Peng had never seen him before. He first looked at him and then said, "What's wrong with Captain Wang coming here?"

As the commander of the defender army, Wang Dagang obviously could not leave Leyuan for no reason.

Wang Dagang, who had a little red pimple on his face, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The Dali army captured Suiyang, and Leyuan is in a hurry. The last general will ask Yue Shuai to send troops to provide assistance!"

"Um?"

Yue Peng was slightly stunned, "Have the Dali Army arrived in Suiyang?"

He had known about the Dali Army entering Kuizhou for a long time. However, the time when the Dali Army arrived in Suiyang was faster than he expected.

Wang Dagang gritted his teeth, "The Dali army had more than 100,000 troops, and it took only two hours the day before yesterday to capture Suiyang. The defenders of Suiyang were left with only dozens of robes left to survive."

There was an undisguised hatred on his face.

Yue Peng frowned.

According to Zhao Dongting's order to quickly destroy the White Horse Army, he should now send troops to Qianzhou and Zhao Da and Zhao Hu to join, but Leyuan cannot ignore it.

Leyuan and Suiyang both belong to Zhenzhou, and Zhenzhou is on the east side of the Nanping Army. If they ignore this Dali army, they may march straight into Nanchuan and threaten Chongqing.

An army of more than 100,000 is not a small number.

Although there were Miao Youli Tianshang Army, Zheng Yihang's Tianmeng Army and Chongqing defenders in Chongqing at this time, it was hard to predict the outcome if they had to face the Dali Army that had exceeded 100,000.

After pondering, Yue Peng asked Wang Dagang, "As far as I know, Marshal Zhang led his army to chase this Dali army. Where is Marshal Zhang's army at this time?"

Wang Dagang shook his head and said, "I don't know until I end up."

Then hesitated and said, "What I am worried about is that Zhang Shuai may not dare to arrive before the Dali army invaded Leyuan. In this way, Leyuan will be blood flowing into a river."

Yue Peng nodded slightly and pondered again.

It is indeed a difficult problem for him to go to Qianzhou or to guard Leyuan.

The number of imperial guards in the Song Dynasty was far inferior to that in the New Song Dynasty. There were many Dali countries in Kuizhou, which was an invariable fact.

Wang Dagang looked at Yue Peng like this and couldn't help but be anxious, "Ship Yue, if you don't send troops to guard Leyuan, then the people of Leyuan... really have no hope!"

"good!"

This sentence seemed to touch Yue Peng. He patted the table with his right hand and said, "I will send troops to Leyuan!"

After saying that, he shouted to the outside: "Gather the army and make the army come true!"

Wang Dagang looked happy, "Thank you, Mr. Yue, the last one!"

Then he said goodbye and led his personal guards to leave Nanchuan again.

After he left, Yue Peng sent a message to Changsha and informed Zhao Dongting of the situation here. He was worried that Zhao Dongting's entire layout would be affected because he did not lead his army to Qianzhou.

On this day, Tiankui's army left Nanchuan and headed east towards Leyuan.

The next day, Zhao Dongting, who was in Changsha Royal Palace, received a letter from Yue Peng.

The Dali Army actually arrived in Suiyang in such a short time, which was also beyond Zhao Dongting's expectations.

This undoubtedly made the situation in Kuizhou become more critical again.

What made Zhao Dongting most uneasy was what strategic intentions did this Dali army, which had more than 100,000.

They went from Qi to Luoshi in Tongchuan Prefecture to go to Kuizhou in such a big circle. At this time, the troops rushed straight to the north. What was they doing?

On the desk in the imperial study room, in front of Zhao Dongting is a map of Kuizhou.

He pointed at the point in Suiyang City and looked carefully.

To the northwest of Suiyang, you can attack Chongqing. To the east, you can attack Jinghu North Road, and then go straight to Jinghu South Road, threatening Changsha, the imperial city of Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Dongting's eyes finally focused on Sizhou, the eastmost part of Kuizhou Road, there was a gleam in his eyes.

Sizhou has a vast territory, but only the north is Wuchuan, and the south is Anyi and Qiongshui counties. In the middle of Sizhou, there are only a few scattered villages and towns.

If the Dali Army goes east from Suiyang directly, it will not encounter any resistance and can drive straight to Jinghu North Road.

At this time, the defenders of Changde Prefecture and Su Quandang Zhenbei Military Region were both restrained by the Yuan army on Jinghu North Road, and Zhang Jue Zhennan Military Region was not in the territory, which was very empty.

Zhao Dongting murmured to himself, "Could it be... this is your Duan Qilin's killer move?"

He put himself in his shoes and thought that if it were Duan Qilin, he would definitely let this army go directly to Huanglong and attack Changsha.

As for the issue of food and grass, you can attack cities and villages along the way and let the army rob.

Duan Qilin asked the Dali army to take Zhang Jue in circles, probably because he was waiting for the opportunity when the war in Kuizhou was in a stalemate?

"Grind ink!"

Zhao Dongting said without raising his head.

Eunuch Liu familiarly picked up the precious ink ingot with musk next to him and grind it on the inkstone.

The ink paste is dark and has a little red color.

This is a rare treasure. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a word that makes gold.

Zhao Dongting picked up his pen and dipped ink, put out the rice paper and wrote on the paper quickly, "I ordered Yue Peng to go to Qianzhou and Leyuan County to erect the Tiankui army flag, pretending to be the Tiankui army defending the city."

Then put a large seal on it and tear the rice paper apart and fold it up.

He spread out another piece of paper and wrote: "I ordered Zhang Jue's army to advance quickly and go around the east side of the Dali army to beware of the Dali army's launch on Jinghu North Road!"

This piece of paper is also stamped with a large seal.

After doing this, he said to Eunuch Liu: "Transfer these two letters to Leyuan, Zhenzhou."

Eunuch Liu carefully took the letter and ran out of the imperial study room.

Only Zhao Dongting was left in the imperial study room, and suddenly it was a little empty.

He twisted his neck, walked outside, and asked the eunuch waiting at the door, "Why didn't you see Wu Gongfeng come here today?"

Wu Amiao was also arranged by him in the Wuding Hall, but he did not serve and was not divided into any hall.

The little eunuch replied, "Report to the emperor, I don't know."

Zhao Dongting frowned, "Go to Wudingtang to call him over."

Without Wu Amiao, a guy who is neither big nor small, by his side, he always feels like he is missing something.

Speaking of this, Le Chan, Zhang Ru and other girls should thank Wu Amiao. Because since Wu Amiao entered the palace, they can also concentrate on taking care of their children and raising their babies.

"yes!"

The little eunuch hurriedly ran to Wudingtang.

After Eunuch Liu came back from the Pigeon Raising Office, the little eunuch ran back, panting.

He followed Eunuch Liu into the imperial study room, knelt down in front of Zhao Dongting, but said, "Emperor, Wu Gongfeng has left the palace."

Zhao Dongting was surprised, "Leave the palace? Where did you go?"

The little eunuch shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have asked all the worshipers in Wuding Hall, but they don't know either."

Zhao Dongting rubbed his eyebrows and his eyes suddenly widened, "This guy won't really go to Zhongxing Mansion!"

But then, I suddenly laughed again, and I was very funny.
