Chapter 331

Qingzhou secret guard station.

After receiving the news from Yongzhou, Wang Xuan immediately went to the palace of king Qi.

In these days when the king of Qi reformed the system of Qingzhou, the situation of Yongzhou took a sharp turn, the people under the command of Qinglong King gathered more and more, and the king of Yongzhou was defeated.

However, this is not the most important, because the 60000 cavalry headed by Chagatai seems to have seized the opportunity at this time, and they have gone south in two ways to serve as the vanguard of this barbarian attack on Jizhou.

"What! Has Chagatai gone south? " Xiao Ming turned pale when he heard the news.

Wang Xuan nodded, "the news can't be wrong."

"King Yong, you stupid pig!" Xiao Ming slaps the table heavily. His plan can never keep up with the change. His plan is all upset by Wang Yong, a pig teammate.

Although he had a premonition after the civil unrest in Yongzhou, it came too soon.

And the last time he gave King Yong's admonition letter has not been heard from now, so it is estimated that King Yong has already thrown it somewhere.

The king of Yong has always been headstrong and didn't listen to people's advice. In this crisis, he still didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back.

"What about your highness? Jizhou is only 200 li away from Yunzhou. This time, King Yong used most of his troops to fight against the rebellion. At this time, Jizhou city must be empty. If it was taken by the barbarians, it would be like the door of the fiefdom was opened by the barbarians. "

Xiao Ming thought for a moment, he said: "absolutely can't let the barbarians burn the fire of war to our king's fiefdom, you go to call niuzhen and others."

"Yes." Wang Xuan answered and turned to leave.

He has been busy with the reform for nearly two months. Now it's late July. According to his plan, the northern expedition of the barbarians is in October. Now the barbarians are going south and he has lost three months of preparation.

So now his army is only equipped with 10000 flint guns, Guan Ning's cavalry and Qingzhou's cavalry are no more than 10000 people, and there are only 300 Husi chariots.

This is the result of his spending all his money on the military.

Wang Xuan soon came with Niu Zhen and other Qingzhou generals.

On the way, Wang Xuan told Niu Zhen and others the news he got.

"Your Highness, the whole army must go to Yunzhou now, and support at any time according to the situation of Jizhou. If the barbarian cavalry is allowed to enter the fiefdom, it will certainly cause serious damage to the fiefdom." Niu said.

After a pause, he continued: "but your highness doesn't have to worry too much. Now people in Jizhou don't have enough food. It's like a strong wall and a clean field. Only by attacking Jizhou city can Chagatai dare to attack Yunzhou."

"The king of Yong is really confused. How was the fiefdom managed?" Lu Fei scolded.

Xiao Ming sighed, not afraid of wolf like opponents, just afraid of pig like teammates.

While they were discussing, aster suddenly ran in and said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, 800 Li from Chang'an has arrived in a hurry."

Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen look at each other. He and his generals immediately go out. A courier is waiting at the door with a letter.

Xiao Ming took the letter in his hand from the post office and opened it. He said to Niu Zhen, "my father asked me to send troops to help king Yong fight against the barbarian cavalry."

"Why! When we were guarding Cangzhou, King Yong didn't send a single soldier. Now we have to help king Yong. The emperor is too eccentric. " Lu Fei was dissatisfied.

Niu Zhen frowned. He was also dissatisfied with this and was wronged by the king of Qi.

At that time, Xiao Ming was the weakest of many vassal kings, but the burden of resisting the barbarians was on his shoulders.

However, he also understood that it was one thing to be aggrieved at this time, but they could not ignore it. After all, if the barbarians attacked Jizhou, they would be the ones who suffered from the enemy.

"In this case, let's not talk about it. This time, even if the emperor doesn't give us the will, we will go to Jizhou. Now that the will has arrived, we can go to Jizhou naturally, not to mention that the forbidden army and the army of the king of Wei have already moved to Jizhou." Xiao Ming said.

"The Imperial Army and the army of the king of Wei have already started?" Niu Zhen and others were relieved that they were not alone this time.

It seems heavy on the surface, but Xiao Ming has been waiting for a long time to lead his troops into Jizhou.

The Jizhou chaos was a crisis and an opportunity for him. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was able to take in 300000 Qingzhou troops. From then on, it can be seen that the rich population brought Cao Cao dividends.

These days, Pang Yukun sent people to Jizhou to guide the refugees into Qingzhou, but the effect was very little. After all, he had a long journey and was not familiar with the place of life.

Moreover, in times of disaster, human traffickers are often rampant, deceived and abducted, and the victims can not easily believe the people sent by Pang Yukun.

But if the Qingzhou army entered Jizhou, the effect would be different, and the victims would naturally believe in the army's guidance.

Xiao Ming was watching "on the king" during this period of time, which mentioned that a qualified King mainly has the power of the lion, and the cunning of the fox can survive.

In today's chaotic situation, he has to go to hell. Besides, he has to charge some fees for sending troops to Jizhou. If he doesn't get 340000 victims back from Jizhou this time, he won't come back.After deciding to go to Jizhou, Xiao Ming ordered Niu Zhen and others to take 10000 cavalry, 2000 crossbow men, 3000 spearmen, 5000 shield men, 10000 firemen and 300 Husi chariots to Jizhou.

At the same time, Pang Yukun opened the folk Wubao. Once the barbarians entered the fiefdom, they organized the people to hide in the Wubao to minimize the loss.

As in previous battles, the most serious problem of this trip to Jizhou is logistics. It is just the so-called "soldiers do not move food and grass first".

However, last year, Xiao Ming ordered the States to reserve war reserve grain, and the grain stored in Yunzhou city should be enough to support his trip to Jizhou.

Therefore, compared with the past, his pressure on food and grass this time was a little easier, but when he got out of Yunzhou, the logistics had to be in trouble again. Besides, this time Niu Zhen also took 30 guns to Jizhou, which had to be carried by Mara people all the way.

Although he got the news in time, the war was not an easy journey. It took ten days for ammunition and weapons to be prepared, and Niu took more than 20000 people to Yunzhou.

Xiao Ming is not going to Jizhou to join in this battle. Now everyone has to perform their own duties. He is responsible for the overall planning of the fiefdom, the soldiers are responsible for fighting, and the officials are responsible for assisting him.

Seeing off the Qingzhou army at the gate of Qingzhou camp, Xiao Ming has some worries in his heart.

Qingzhou has only been exposed to firearms for three or four months. He can't guarantee his performance in the battlefield, so the firearm team only accounts for one third of the total.

But sooner or later, this step will go out for him, and he will be more able to sharpen the soldiers on the battlefield and gain practical combat experience.

Of course, he explained that Niu's most important task was to collect the victims.
