Yanxiang's mind was buzzing.

Just now, less than a quarter of an hour from now, he had not yet gotten up, and he heard a servant outside the house loudly reporting: Wei County urgent report, a messenger has arrived outside the house, please see him as soon as possible.

Yanxiang, who had already been severely affected by the drastic changes in Xinghe County, woke up from his sleep and the alarm bells rang loudly in his heart. He didn't even have time to ask his subordinates how the envoy entered the county. He put on his clothes and hurriedly came out to the hall to meet.

people.

It was a police officer from Wei County who came, but he was wearing casual clothes and his clothes were still stained with blood.

"Weixian County fell into the hands of the Song Army last night. The enemy army was no less than 20,000 strong. They have now divided their forces to attack the two counties of Jiaokou and Fangshan." A series of three thunderbolts from the sky were thrown at Yan Xiang's head by the incoming people.

.In an instant, Yan Xiang was stunned and completely stunned.

"How could this happen? Where did the Song army come from? Where did they come from? There is no army in Dong'an to report back?" Yan Xiang's mind was full of countless questions. As for why he was like this when he was clearly a headhunter.

Embarrassed, why was there a lot of blood on his body? The previously puzzling questions were all solved at this moment, but at this time, Yan Xiang didn't have any extra time to care about this.

The head catcher, who looked frightened and dejected, felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart after reporting the military situation, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.

Yesterday evening, I finally struggled to save my life from the Wei County city. I rushed to the county city overnight and was already exhausted.

"Chacha! Chacha!"

Lai Shi was helped into the lower room to rest. As Yan Xiang fell silent, the atmosphere in the entire hall condensed. The servants who came to serve him did not dare to make a sound. For a while, the hall was extremely silent.

On the branches in front of the hall, the clear chirping of several magpies was infinitely amplified at this moment. Yanxiang was shocked and trembled, and finally recovered from his sluggish mind.

"Fanyu Mountain——" It was not for nothing that Yanxiang could climb to the position of Governor of Dongcheng County. After a little calculation in his mind, he knew where the loopholes were!

"Could it be Fanyu Mountain? Xu You, Jiao Ming, you deserve to die!"

The head catcher only knew that the Song army was approaching and Wei County was suddenly attacked, but he didn't know what the reason was. Therefore, Yan Xiang still doesn't know about the relationship between Jiao Ming and Wang Jiuling.

Wuzai's behavior.

However, Yan Xiang's face quickly turned livid, and he wished he could cut Xu You, Fanyu Mountain's official seal guard, into pieces with a thousand knives.

Even a hundred thousand Song troops could not defeat Fanyu Mountain, which was garrisoned by five thousand troops. If Xu You had not been stupid, how could he have been captured by the Song troops without making a sound? He even escaped back to Wei County to report the news.

None of the people.

"But... how did they march? How could they still fight?" After Yan Xiang determined the point of Fanyu Mountain, he knew what kind of march route the Song Army would take without even thinking about it. It can be thought of that they fought for four days in a row the day before yesterday.

The spring rain must have fallen on the Song Army during their march in the mountains. How unbearable it must have been! Even if the Song soldiers climbed to the foot of Fanyu Mountain, their physical strength must have been greatly troubled...

In an instant, Yan Xiang hated Xu You even more.

"Oh, what can we do? Such a big thing happened, but the prefect is out..."

Yan Xiang was anxious and restless. He didn't know much about military affairs. Bao Chunlai was detained by Li Changjun, and Yang Fu led his troops to kill Xinghe. Now the danger in Wei County has come, and Yan Xiang, who was caught off guard by a blow, couldn't even think about it.

Come up with appropriate ways to deal with it.

"Come, hurry up and let Governor Yang know about the military intelligence." Yan Xiang looked at the servants who came out after hearing the news, and shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir." A servant turned and ran to the stable.

"You and others will also report to Shehu Valley, Dong County and other places."

"yes."

Several more servants rushed to the stables in the side yard.

"Change with me and go to the General's Mansion!" Bao Chunlai is gone, and Yang Fu is no longer here, but there are still two lieutenant generals left in the General's Mansion. Yan Xiang weighed his ability and went

Not to mention the official position, the military aspect is far inferior to that of Zhonglang.

Note, you can’t take it by yourself!

…

…

Not to mention the shock and disbelief on the part of the county seat, just look at the Song Army Department in Wei County. They pieced together all the carriages and horses within a ten-mile radius of the county seat. Dong Qiaosheng finally got a lot of carriages and mules.

car.

Although Chen An's and Zhang Fuyang's troops could not all be moved into vehicles, relying on the transportation of carriages, the leading troops of the two troops entered the intersection before dawn, under the two counties of Fangshan. A group of Song King's guards accompanied the army,

He quietly smeared the walls of the city and easily defeated the lax security guards from the two counties. He lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.

When the sun all jumped out of the clouds, the Song Army's territory in Dongcheng County had expanded from two counties to four counties.

The main force of the Song army who stayed in Wei County slept comfortably all night. The troops who followed Dong Qiaosheng out of the city to fight the siege were all detachments. After all, they were just requisitioning chariots and horses. With the Song army in control, those gentry were still very powerful.

Interesting.

By the time Zhu Biao led Zhang He and Wu Boniu, the main forces of the two battalions were ready to go, it was already noon. Looking at Dong Qiaosheng at this time, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was haggard. Only the energy on his face was strong.

Today, Zhu Biao left with the last main force, leaving everything in Wei County to Dong Qiaosheng.

After not sleeping for two days and one night, Dong Qiaosheng stood on the city gate but was in high spirits. The fatigue of the mother-in-law must be overcome by spirit. Comrade Dong Qiaosheng's performance during these two days and one night has solidly proved one thing - the spirit of the Red Dynasty

Victory is worthy of affirmation.

Dong Qiaosheng knew clearly how important it was for the army to leave Qianshan and enter Dongcheng. He also knew that whether he would be under the command of the King of Song or the King of Tang in the future, his own excellence would be the benchmark for determining his status.

You also need to be strong yourself.

And this time, serving as the chief clerk with the army and taking care of all the army's military chores is the best stage for him to show his abilities. He needs to shine on this stage.

The previous two days and one night were just the beginning, and now Wei County is the focus.

It was precisely for this reason that Dong Qiaosheng, who had 'struggled' for two days and one night, did not feel tired at all.

On the southern avenue of the city, the large quantities of carriages and horses carrying soldiers and military supplies were the fruits of his hard work and a demonstration of his ability.

Riding on a black horse, Zhu Biao silently estimated the speed in his mind. Dong Qiaosheng completed the task very well, and the current marching speed was definitely above the budget standard line.

There is nothing to say. In this campaign to attack Dongcheng, Dong Qiaosheng may not have killed anyone or shot an arrow with his own hands, but judging from his contribution here in Wei County, if this campaign can really succeed, his achievements will be very great.

This is like Xiao He, Liu Bang's subordinate. Why can he be ranked first in terms of merit, still above Han Xin and Zhang Liang? Logistics, logistics!

In ancient wars, unless it was rogue bandits, the army's reliance on logistics was fatal.

"Commander Zhu, according to a detailed report from our army, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in Dongcheng County. Their strength is still beyond the scope of our army.

Yang Fu's troops have reached the border of Xinghe County. Although Li Changjun used Bao Kanglai's life to temporarily hold him hostage, as soon as our army comes out, Yang Fu will definitely make a decision and make a decision. This is Li Changjun's delaying plan.

It's not useful.

Lanmei Mountain, in the direction of Shehu Valley, three thousand soldiers and horses led by Yao Fangqiong and Pang Zigong are also pressing on Taoshui Ferry. They can cross Taoshui and press into Xinghe County in a short time..."

Liu Zhuo was a close confidant of the King of Song. When he came to Dongcheng, Zhu Biao was free to make his own decisions regarding wars and battles. However, he was in control of the reports and details.

The county received the letter this morning, and it would take at least three or two hours of "thousand-mile rush" to deliver the letter to Yang Fu's army. When Yang Fu makes a "decision" and leads his army to turn back, it will be tomorrow afternoon or even evening.

It's over. And if Yang Fu doesn't make a decisive decision, it will be a matter of the day after tomorrow.

At the moment, the situation is that Zhu Biao's army of more than 20,000 men faces the 20,000 troops in the county.

"Do you think...will they come out?"

Zhu Biao's eyes were blank and he did not give Liu Zhuo 'peace of mind', but suddenly asked something that Liu Zhuo had never thought of.

"Will they come out?"

Liu Zhuo was stunned for a long time. Although the Song army's "offensive was like a wave", it was simply "rootless" in Dongcheng County. Liu Zhuo only felt that the main force's attack on the county would not have good results. Xinghe

Li Changjun in the county is also facing a dead end. When Yang Fu's army is surrounded, it will be the end of the Song army.

Liu Zhuo was panicking when Zhu Biao suddenly changed his mind and asked, leaving him stunned on the spot.

"Probably not...there are more than 20,000 of us..."

There are 20,000 troops in the county and only 15,000 troops outside the city. Liu Zhuo felt that no one would abandon his strength.

"But I am Zhu Biao." Zhu Biao said meaningfully, "A Northern Han man..."

"They will definitely come!"

…

…

"Drive, drive, drive..."

War horses galloped, and military orders were passed from the general's mansion in the county to the military camps inside and outside the city.

In the afternoon, a prince's army with two battalions gathered in an orderly formation outside the city. At the head, the flag with the word "Huang" was flying high. There is only one person with this surname in Dongcheng County, Ningwu Zhonglang General Huang Guan.

The heavy mountain-cutting ax is in his hand, and the army is rumbling. The yellow crown on the horse's back is full of pride, showing that it is easy to defeat the enemy's army.

"Hahaha... The kings of Tang and Song have no one and are ignorant. They actually want a young general from a small country in the north to lead the army. They really make me laugh at Huang Guan."

"This time we send out troops, we must capture Zhu Biao and bring him to the tent so that he can see the true majesty of our Great Zhou Dynasty——"

On the top of the city, Yan Xiang looked at the retreating army with a tangled expression, and his mood became even more tangled. Why not just defend the county and the city honestly?

There are only 20,000 enemy troops. After verification for most of the day [more and more reports came from Wei County and other places], the estimated number is close to ten. It is absolutely impossible to break through Dongcheng County.

Yes, all we need is Governor Yang to lead his troops back, and the Song troops trapped under the city will be dead. How safe is that?

But...
To be continued...
