Chapter 362

Xiang Li led a thousand Rangers out of the pass. Before he ran far, he met a thousand cavalry troops of fox fur men. Obviously, neither side expected to encounter so many enemies at this moment.

Huadaru's first thought was that Datang knew his whereabouts. Otherwise, even if there were 100 reasons, it would be impossible to send so many Rangers.

Huadaru was not afraid. He was not timid in his life. Today, he came to observe the situation of refusing Beiguan with his own eyes, but he didn't want to make any noise under refusing Beiguan, let alone lead a war with the other side.

Xiang Li saw so many Beiyan cavalry. His first reaction was whether something had happened to Zhang Zhou? So many enemies almost ran under their own gates. What is it for?

Everything is normal except Zhang Zhou's exit. He has also stayed in Beiguan for nearly 20 years. There has never been such a scale of Customs exploration by Beiyan, and the situation of the main general leaving the customs is unique. These two situations have not occurred in more than ten years. Today, they happen at the same time. If there is no internal connection, who will believe it?

The more Xiang Li thought about it, the more annoyed he was.

Nine times out of ten, Zhang Zhou had an accident, so today should be the last time he led the troops out of the pass!

Don't think about it. Kill one and earn one!

After a brief hesitation, under the leadership of Xiang Li, Datang Youqi took the lead. There was no prelude to the formation of troops, and took the lead in launching a charge!

Huadaru only said, "stop them!" and turned away. Now that the enemy knows his movements, he can't waste time here!

This cavalry is his personal guard. Its combat effectiveness and executive ability are very few in the border army. It is immediately divided into two groups. 500 people are responsible for sniping Datang cavalry, and 500 people escort huadaru to evacuate.

……

Zhang Shuhe couldn't really let Yin and Zhong run out to save people, but only Xiang Li's one man and horse went out to meet them, and it was difficult to calm his worries. Therefore, after Xiang Li left the city, the allocation and gathering of the second Ranger team began immediately in the city, ready to leave the customs.

However, after all, it was a temporary order. In addition, during the non war period, there had never been such a large-scale mobilization of Rangers. The preparation of people and horses could not be so fast. Before they were ready, there was a boiling cry of killing from the open space outside the pass.

Zhang Shuhe, standing at the head of the city, was stunned!

This voice proves that the battle took place not far from jubeiguan. Although the specific reason cannot be determined, as the commander of the border army, he has a strong response ability!

"Beat the drums and prepare for the war! Organize a Ranger to go out of the pass immediately. No matter what price you pay, you should also pick up the bastard Zhang Zhou!"

Whether Zhang Zhou wants to die or not, he can't die outside the pass. Even if he has to lose thousands of soldiers, he has to get them back! Because Zhang Zhou is definitely worth his price!

……

Similarly, Zhang Zhou is not the only one who makes the big people unhappy. Huadaru is also one.

Beiyan emperor, with five brothers, was named after gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Each town of the four kings guards one side. Xiao liaomu, the second son, is also the most powerful of the kings and is responsible for guarding the southern border.

The elite of Beiyan cavalry is 500000, including nearly 400000 of the 28 guards directly under the Empire, and more than 100000 of them belong to the kings, including 70000 in the hands of Xiao liaomu, king of the southern Prefecture. In fact, Beiyan's troops are far more than these. The kings have secretly accumulated strength and recruited troops. The overall number has even exceeded one million.

The territory is not as vast as Datang, and the population is not as dense as Datang, but the actual number of troops is much larger than Datang. This is also the main reason why Datang has won the battle for several times during its hundred years of attack on Beiyan, but can not advance northward in the end.

Beiyan faces the sea to the East; The north is connected with desolation and cold; Xilian grassland; There is no doubt that only the Tang Dynasty is the great trouble in Beiyan's heart and the top priority of imperial defense.

Not to mention the similar reinforcements and reserves, among the troops pressed on the border alone, there are ten regular guards, with a number of 200000, and 70000 private dependents of the southern county king, with a military strength of nearly 300000. In fact, Xiao liaomu's private army has even exceeded the regular border guard, which can be called more than half of the main force in the country.

Xiao liaomu, king of the southern Prefecture, is nominally the commander-in-chief of the whole border army, while Hua Daru is the commander-in-chief of his private army.

Xiao liaomu has said hello in advance. He will come to Hua Dalu to say something important these days, but Hua Dalu led thousands of cavalry to the border and said that he should personally inspect and master the real situation, which makes Xiao liaomu, the southern king, somewhat dissatisfied.

"The Lord trusted him so much, but he acted willfully again and again. The old slave felt that such a person should be knocked properly!" an old Eunuch in Royal jade belt whispered.

Xiao liaomu did not show a look of blame to the old slave who had been with him for nearly 40 years, but patiently explained: "the wolf is more valuable than the dog! Huadaru is a wolf, too much restraint is bad!"

The old eunuch smiled without any emotion.

"Lord, if you don't like what I say, huadaru can't be a man like Wanyan Dahe no matter how he does it! And your indulgence to him can only make him more forgetful and self righteous!"

"Ha ha! I really can't deny this. I don't have the good luck of my royal brother. I can get the assistance of a figure like the God of war. However, the God of war is history. No one can copy his ability, but after all, he can't come back from the dead. If he climbs out to command a soldier, naturally he can't copy the talent of future generations. That part belongs to him Now that it's over, don't mention it! "

Just after the old eunuch wanted to continue to say something, Xiao Liaojin first changed the topic.

"Over the years, Ben Wang has completely understood that there are too many disturbances in Kyoto. I expect them to discuss a result. I don't know it's a matter of monkey years and horses. If we wait for pie to fall from the sky, there will be no chance. Therefore, we can only strive for many things by ourselves, and now we finally see a little hope. Don't worry Can be careless and miss a good opportunity! "

The old eunuch nodded slightly. He understood the truth of "enough is enough".

"If everything goes well, this is indeed a great opportunity for the prince!"

"Yes! As long as we win the jubeiguan pass and fulfill the wishes of the imperial brother for many years, those people can only look jealous, but they can't return to heaven!"

"According to information, the king of Dongjun has made frequent small moves recently. Do you want to..."

"Of course! If he succeeds in going to the sea, he can only benefit himself, which is absolutely not good for us. Besides, how can the rules over the years be easily changed?"

"But the northern and Western princes have eased their attitude on this matter..."

"Hum, the third and the fifth have the same ideas as me in this regard. They are relaxed now, but they just want to get some benefits from me! But at present, it is really not necessary to waste energy in this regard. Give them some sweets and let them help me suppress the development of the fourth."

"The old slave knows what to do!"

"How are the preparations for food, grass and Quartermaster now?"

"After all, to avoid Kyoto, everything has to be carried out secretly. In addition, the snow disaster has a lot of losses, so it will take some time to prepare!"

Xiao liaomu's face sank for a few minutes.

"If you don't kill a few of them, you should be alert to those waste people. They will be lazy and slippery and refuse to work hard! You know, this kind of thing has a rare opportunity and will change later. Therefore, there is not much time left for us to prepare. You should watch this aspect in person in the future. Be sure to speed up so as not to delay and affect the whole plan!"

"Those people really did their best. Don't be angry. Please rest assured that the old slave will solve the matter successfully!"

Xiao liaomu looked at the old eunuch and suddenly smiled.

"You say you, when the king can't be cruel, you can deal with it decisively, but when the king moves to kill his heart, you can't be soft hearted!"

"Hehe, I didn't mean to play against the Lord. In fact, on the contrary, I am absolutely loyal to the Lord!"

"Well, that's true. Over the years, it's really hard for you to saddle your horse for the king!" Xiao liaomu said with deep feeling.

"With the words of the Lord, the old slave is worth it all his life!"

……

"Report!" a cry came from outside the account.

The master and the servant returned to their respective places before they let the newspaper officer in.

"What's up?" asked the old eunuch.

"Report back to the Lord. One of the thousand men team led by commander Hua on his tour has encountered a strong enemy at the border and has been defeated!"

"What about huadaru?"

"The situation of Marshal Hua is unknown!"

"What?" Xiao liaomu suddenly stood up and subconsciously looked at the old slave.

The old eunuch was just a little stunned and ordered: "immediately order all the garrison cavalry within 20 miles to send out, and be sure to pick up huadaru safely for me!"

After the news officer left, Xiao liaomu looked more uneasy.

"How could this happen?"

"Lord, don't worry. According to the recent actions of both sides, there is no possibility of large-scale military action. It should be just a small-scale conflict!"

"But small-scale conflict, how can a team of 1000 people be defeated?"

The old eunuch thought for a while and said, "why don't you let the old slave go to the border to have a look!"

"Well, but be sure to come back safely!"

The old eunuch smiled.

"Please don't worry, the role of Tang border Army Ranger can't hurt the body and bones of the old slave!"

……

With the second group of Rangers out of the city, there was another man and horse. There were not many people, only more than 300 riders, and most of them were young horses found temporarily.

These people did not follow the main cavalry far, they stopped.

Yin Dongshan looked at the seed combination carefully.

"Third, are you ready?"

He nodded with a serious look.

"Second brother, the general is kind to you and me. If anything happens to the general this time, you and I are to blame. It's better to die on this battlefield than to be a man!"

Yin Dongshan looked at the soldiers behind him and asked loudly, "I'm asking you once. Did you think about it? It's still time to look back!"

The soldiers behind them are basically pieced together by temporary organizations, and most of them are infantry. They know very well what it means to go out of town this time.

"Vice general Yin, my brothers know what they are doing. There are no cowards!"

"Yes! It's worth fighting for the general once!"

"The two generals just direct forward, and the brothers will follow!"

"We will sacrifice our lives to save the general..."

One by one, the will is firm and there is no retreat.

"Second brother, just say what we should do!"

In terms of specific planning, Yin Dongshan is better than seed combination.

Yin Dongshan looked at the scene of thousands of riding on smoke and snow in front of him. After a little thought, he said.

"If we follow the big army, we can play a very limited role. If we act privately to find a general, we can also get a bargain if we encounter the enemy's riding army!"

"What should I do? I can't wait here!"

"Of course not. During this time, I have learned more about the situation outside the pass from the Rangers..."

Yin Dongshan does have some generals. Zhang Zhou gives him an important task. He not only does his duty within the city gate, but also takes the initiative to understand the situation outside the city. He hopes to make some preparations for the future.

"... there is a newly-built Beiyan military camp 40 miles eastward outside the Ranger patrol area. Although the Ranger has not found out, I think it is not simple. Beiyan has no reason to camp here!"

"Second brother, we are going to save the general this time. What does it have to do with Beiyan camp?"

"According to my bold inference, the general should not fall into the enemy's hands. In that case, if we can successfully disperse Beiyan's military strength in this area, we can better ensure the general's safety!"

"You mean beating around?"

Yin Dongshan nodded.

"We must make a big noise that startles Beiyan!"

"Listen to my second brother!"

"Brothers, it's time to leave a name for the memorial tower. Come with me!"

More than three hundred horses roared eastward.
