Chapter 389 Westbound
The mediation delegation led the emperor to leave Qintong Pass, and the chariots and horses walked west along the swaying water.
To the north of the Qinshui River, that is, Tianshui County, the territory is also preparing for war. Many checkpoints are stationed in Manchu generals. After meeting with Wu's clan leader and the guardian of Huayang Sect, Wu En, the elder of the Huayang Sect, Tu Que sent the convoy to continue traveling westward.
Entering Shining territory is considered to have entered Hechuan County.
The prelude to Hexi's attack on Hechuan was revealed by Dong Shou leading 40,000 to the west to Qin Wang's army to attack Shining City. In the later period, the Hexi army also used Shining City as its core to build a defense line to resist the pressure exerted by the Musashi Army and the Tianshui County troops from the east.
Dong Shou, the Qin Mu Hou who was in charge of Shining City, did not come out to meet Tu Que, Zhao Zhong, and Yao Wenjin, but instead sent a cavalry to escort them directly to Hechuan City, Hechuan County, to meet Dong Liang, the Marquis of Wuwei.
Only two hundred miles away from Shining City, the scout who was inquiring to take charge in front rushed over and asked the chariots and horses here to stop for a while.
Tu Que, Zhao Zhong, and Yao Wenjin are all powerful people in the Daodan realm. Tu Que has the highest cultivation level. Even though Tu Que's energy has been worse than its peak in recent years, he can still sense the shock of the vitality twenty miles away, and he still knows that the movement there is quite a lot.
Tu Que and his friends entered Hechuan County. The arrangements for the management along the way were all done by Dong Shou sent a lieutenant named Li Jiangtao to lead a team of elite soldiers to take charge of it. In fact, Tu Que, Zhao Zhong, Yao Wenjin and others were also monitored, so that they would not have the opportunity to play other things.
"What's going on?"
Tu Que opened the curtain of the car, saw Li Jiangtao frowning, and was listening to the scout who was exploring the way, asking.
"There were all the rebels who attacked the Hexi Army's defense barriers and were besieged in the valley ahead. They were fighting stubbornly, which may delay Lord Tu's whereabouts." Li Jiangtao said.
Before Tu Que could say anything, Yao Wenjin said first: "Helan Sword Sect and Huang have been in Hechuan for two or three thousand years, so how could they admit defeat? I had long expected that even if the Hexi Army occupied the entire Hechuan County, there would be wars everywhere in the rear. It seems that what I expected is good. Tu Taiwei, let's go and see what exactly?"
The rebels naturally were unwilling to surrender and retreated to Helan Mountain, and Tu Que did not want to make trouble, but Yao Wenjin had already spoken out first.
Tu Que, Zhao Zhong, and Yao Wenjin insisted on going to watch the battle, but Li Jiangtao could not stop him and could only follow him all the way.
By the time the convoy of the mission arrived, the Hexi Army had already completely controlled the situation here.
At the foot of the mountain that is several miles apart, there are corpses of various shapes, and a group of more than 200 soldiers of chaos were forced into a cliff to resist stubbornly, with a strong smell of blood in the air.
Although these more than 200 people were all wearing armor, they looked a little weak. Under the pressure of more than a thousand Hexi military halberds, spears, bows and arrows, the defensive formation of more than 200 rebels was compressed and tighter.
Fortunately, several people in the rebels had sword energy, and they were wide open and closed, as if they were mad tigers standing in front, forcing the elite Hexi army to rush forward.
The Hexi Army Captain, who was responsible for leading the generals to surround and kill the rioters, was slightly lower than that of Li Jiangtao. When he saw the chariots and horses of the delegation came over without hesitation, he just frowned and rode his horse to report the battle report to Li Jiangtao at this time. Of course, no one was going to come over to follow the Taiwei Tu Que, the Shaofu Supervisor Zhao Zhong and Yao Wenjin, who was appointed as the Weiwei after leaving the mountain.
Tu Que, Zhao Zhong was patient and stood in the car to catch up with the battle. He was also interested in seeing the Hexi Army's military power. Yao Wenjin frowned and said dissatisfied: "A mere two early sword cultivators in the Mingqiao Realm, plus a dozen disciples in the Piling Realm, have forced the elite Hexi Army that are so powerful that they are so embarrassed. How long does it take to occupy the road so that we can continue to travel west? Well, for the sake of my good friend and Dong, I will help them."
Before he finished speaking, a pure white sword light flew out from behind and ran towards the chaos army like a dragon.
There was a long bearded man in the rebels who was celebrating a pine-patterned spirit sword, flying up and down, forcing several elite Hexi soldiers to siege. Unexpectedly, a white sword light cut off the pine-patterned spirit sword in his hand as soon as it rose and fell, and stabbed it into his chest.
When the long-bearded man fell to the ground, he saw the white sword light passing through his back heart, and then suddenly stagnated in the air. He instantly divided into four sword lights, cutting the four green-robed sword cultivators behind him into two pieces in a neat way, and died in an extremely ugly way.
All the changes occurred between light and lightning. Before Li Jiangtao and the Hexi Army's commander supervising the battle could react, Yao Wenjin put the white sword light into the sleeves of the robe. The generals and soldiers on both sides of the melee did not know what happened, and they retreated for a while, and did not dare to fight again rashly.
"Who is full and full, it's up to you?" The Hexi Army would buy it if they didn't take action for Yao Wenjin, so someone would curse.
"Rareless! Grandmaster is here, who dares to be rude?" Li Jiangtao was not satisfied with Yao Wenjin's reckless and rude behavior, but he eventually scolded the generals and did not allow him to rush into Yanjing.
"Hexi Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, but it makes the remaining bandits rampant, not afraid of making people laugh at the world? If you are not good at suppressing the bandits, I will help you to eliminate the remaining bandits, but you will make such rude words?" Yao Wenjin stared at the small school in the Hexi army who had just spoken rudely. Just when the man dared to say something else, he would knock him down and teach him a lesson to the Hexi army, who had no qualities at all.
Seeing Yao Wenjin impatiently showing his sharpness, Tu Que and Zhao Zhong were all very troubled, so he could only persuade Yao Wenjin to calm down. At worst, they would have to rest in the nearby city walls for a night, and wait for the remaining bandits blocking the road of the Hexi Army to eliminate them. It would be no longer too late to travel west to see Dong Liang.
***************************
Hechuan County was captured, but the hidden dangers on the left and right wings had not yet been eliminated. In order to prevent the situation from changing, Wuwei Shenhou Dong Liang was in charge of Hechuan County after the war.
With Dong Liang here, as long as the main force of Hexiang's army retreated into Helan Mountain and the Musashi army on the eastern front did not make a big move, and there would be occasional rebellions in Hexiang County, they could suppress the pacification very quickly.
The mediation delegation paused for a day halfway due to a small episode, and continued on the road the next day. It arrived at the destination of the trip in three days, the capital of Tsuruchi City, Tsuruchi County.
The mission carriage with the rolling dragon flag slowly stopped on the stone-paved corridor in front of the Yuan County Maid Mansion of Hechuan County. At this time, the prince Dong Chengchou had already led civil and military officials in the Hexi Protectorate's Office in the county capital to go out to greet him, surrounded by Taiwei Tu Que, Shaofu Supervisor Zhao Zhong, and Guard Yao Wenjin walked into the county Maid Mansion with a deep courtyard.
Along the way, Tu Que looked at the mansion that although it had been repaired, he could not hide the traces of the burning fire. Thinking of the rumors that the Hexiang Army had not even dared to defend the county capital after the Hechuanling defense line was lost, he deeply felt that some sects and clans seemed to be as strong as forests and countless masters, but in fact they were extremely weak inside.
Who could imagine that the Helan Sword Sect, who has two powerful men in the Heavenly List of the Great Dao, has reached this point of internal struggle, and in the end it cannot even guard the county maid office, and can only set off a fire to burn it?
Which family is considered to be the king and prince clan? Which family is considered to be the king and prince clan clan?
"My father has recently reached a barrier of practice and has no time to come out to greet all the adults. I hope he can forgive me." After several people sat down in the side hall of the county maid office, Dong Chou first apologized for his father Dong Liang's failure to come forward in person.
Although Tu Que was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything, but his expression became a little cold.
This time, Zhao Zhong had the intention of making friends with Dong and Helan Sword Sect. He said that Dong Shenhou's cultivation has improved again, which is indeed a blessing for the Great Yan. Congratulations on it, so he naturally would not have any objections.
Yao Wenjin showed a bad face, and didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Dong Liang or Zhao Zhong's flattery. When the lights and wine were blooming, the banquet was halfway through, he asked Dong Chou again: "Is there any way to sing and dance to cheer up?"
Dong Chou was slightly stunned. Zhao Zhong was a lord in Yanran's palace and could not act like a man and a woman. Among the many entertainment arrangements, he also deliberately removed singing and dancing.
Although Hexi no longer cared about Yanjing at this time, if Tu Que, Zhao Zhong and others could speak for Hexi in mediation, his considerate social engagements would not be considered a grievance.
However, Dong Chou did not expect that Yao Wenjin would call kabuki to come up to help the wine in front of Zhao Zhong.
Seeing Dong Chou’s hesitation, Yao Wenjin pretended to be ignorant and asked Zhao Zhong: “Mr. Zhao, you can stand the noise of singing and dancing, why don’t you go back and rest first?”
Zhao Zhong waved his hands repeatedly, asking Dong Chou to let Kabuki come up quickly and not to discourage everyone's interest.
A few rings shaking sounds, the fragrance floats in the warm hall, and several dancers come gracefully.
At this time, the moon was dusk, and in the quiet night, the banquet in the main hall seemed particularly lively. After dancing for a few songs, Zhao Zhong begged for mercy, saying that he could not defeat the power of spiritual wine and wanted to retreat first. Dong Chou kept it several times, so he asked Sun Quanzong to send Zhao Zhong back to the post office on his behalf.
