Chapter 299

The content of Lu Que's private letter to Gu Qingcheng was more detailed than that of the military intelligence bulletin. There were more than a thousand words written on a small piece of silk. The silk not only shows the relationship between the tide of Jedi beasts and the national movement of the dynasty, but also Lu Que's idea of fighting against the stars, as well as his countermeasures to the tide of beasts.

When Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang saw that Lu que was going to move all the people of the twelve side counties in southern Xinjiang, and the great court had passed the resolution, they were shocked by Lu Que's great skill and the rare efficiency of the court. Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang were relieved when they saw that Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, was in Northern Xinjiang, while Lu que wanted to lead the evergreen army south.

In today's Daqian, there are quite a few generals who are good at fighting. However, only Lu Chun and Lu que, father and son, have the real vision of the war situation and can plan the overall situation. When Lu Chun was in the north of Xinjiang, the three ethnic groups in the grassland would not dare to change. However, Lu's absence from the south not only strengthened the forces in the south, but also pushed the battlefield decision-making to the front of the battlefield. In this way, there was a little more chance of victory.

However, when they saw that Lu Que's chosen place for the garrison of the Changqing army was the Jiadao peak on the North Bank of Danshui, they suddenly changed color. That place was once the Danshui line of Tianxing. If the horse galloped, it would be only one day's journey to zhennanguan. A few months ago, accompanied by Shen Zhang, Gu Huairen went there specially to see the place where his daughter Gu Qingcheng and future son-in-law Lu que won the first battle in their life last year. Naturally, they knew the terrain very well.

The two peaks on the North Bank of Danshui are not connected with the surrounding mountains, so they stand abruptly in a mile on the North Bank of Danshui. The two mountains are as dangerous as dragons and tigers. It can be said that they are easy to defend and difficult to attack. And more importantly, whether you want to go south from zhennanguan or North from Danshui, you must pass through the Valley Road with a width of 100 meters between the two mountains. This is also why Qiu lie, the commander of the mad Lion War, set up Danshui defense line based on the mountains there.

Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang knew very well that Longpan mountain and Huju mountain were very dangerous. As long as they built watchtowers on the two mountains and set up more bows and crossbows, they would not be able to break through there because they were not many times more powerful than the defensive forces. We should know that Bai Yi had no good way to deal with Qiu Xu's Danshui defense line when he led the Longju army to garrison zhennanguan.

But this is only for the Terran army. For the beast tide, the two mountains are dangerous, but there is no way. Just a few months ago, Bai Xia led the wolves to attack the three mountain barracks outside Ning'an County overnight. We can see the dangerous mountains for the human race, but not for the wild animals born in the forest.

Both of them knew that the most important officials in the imperial capital could not have imagined this, and Lu que, who planned to use wolves to attack the three mountain barracks, could not have imagined this, but they could not understand why Lu que still made such a choice.

After a while, Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang finished reading most of the silk. Before, they thought that Gu Qingcheng divided the silk into two parts because they were ashamed to let them see the words between her and Lu que. However, when they saw the broken words on the silk, they could see that the content behind was still Lu Que's arrangement for the animal tide. Although they didn't understand why Gu didn't want them to know what was behind, they didn't ask much. After all, it was Lu Que's private letter to Gu, not his writing in the outer court. Even Gu Huairen, a father, had no right to let his daughter take out the content behind.

Together with Shen Zhang, Gu Huairen read the contents of the silk twice. He handed the silk back to Gu Qingcheng and returned to the throne without saying a word. For a moment, the main hall of Luoxing county government fell into a dead silence. No matter Gu Huairen, Gu Qingcheng's father and daughter, or Shen Zhang, the commander of the thunder army, they all had no interest in speaking. They all sat quietly in their seats, thinking about their own affairs.

Animal tide is a taboo word for the qingmuyan people and even the whole qingmumainland people. Every animal tide means thousands of lives. In history, it is not that there is no country to resist the tide of animals, nor that there is no bloody man to fight with the tide of animals, but they all failed without exception. It is recorded in many historical books that when the tide of animals passes through, people and animals wither, there is no more bustling people in the mountains and rivers, and the territory is full of bloodthirsty animals. The disaster is far greater than natural disasters, and even more man-made disasters.

But Lu que wanted to encircle and annihilate the beast tide between zhennanguan and Danshui. Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang admired their mental plan, but they also raised deep concerns.

"Shen Xiandi, you are the commander of the thunder army. What do you think of Lu's lack of this strategy?" After a long time, Gu Huairen said.

"Gu Xiang, to be honest, I don't know." Shen Zhang shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "if I face the enemy, no matter how much, I am not afraid, but I am not sure in the face of the tide of beasts. Naturally, I can not judge the feasibility of Lu's strategy."

There are three legions in the twelve main armies of Daqian, which are specially set up to guard against the tide of beasts. They are the thundering army of xiyuanze, the Panshi army of Caohai, and the Shanyin army. Although Shen Zhang was the commander of the thunder army, most of his military training was aimed at the herd, but there was no outbreak of animal tide for more than 200 years after the founding of the empress. Shen Zhang did not know that the training content handed down from the past dynasties played a role in the real face of animal tide.

In Shen Zhang's opinion, the layout of Lu Que's beast tide is a very dangerous strategy, especially his use of the Changqing army. In Shen Zhang's estimation, Lu Que's use of the Changqing army is not a dead end but a posterity.

"Qing Cheng, how about you?" Gu Huairen's eyes looked at Shen Zhang's face for a long time. Seeing that there was no fear on his face, he was deeply worried. With a sigh, he turned to his daughter Gu Qingcheng and asked.

"This strategy is decided by Lu que. I believe him." Gu Qingcheng looked up and said solemnly.

Gu Qingcheng knows that with Lu Que's character, there is no dangerous strategy at all. If he does not have more than 60% confidence, he will never put forward such a strategy. Besides, this strategy seems dangerous, but the only omission is the king of beasts who is in charge of the herd. Now that the spirit beasts will not go back to the mountain to help, this last omission has been made up. As for whether the situation will be as Lu que expected, it doesn't matter in Gu Qingcheng's opinion, because Lu Que's defense focus is zhennanguan. If the tide of beasts goes south instead of North, It is not an unacceptable thing for Daqian.

"Ah ~" looking at his daughter's appearance, Gu Huairen sighed again, thought for a while, patted the table and said, "in that case, when the military order of waige arrives, we will act according to the military order. As for the beast tide, we will wait until the star is destroyed."

In a twinkling of an eye, three days later, on this day, Xinying, who was carrying the emperor's edict and the military order of waige, finally came to Luoxing city. Looking at the contents of the imperial edict and military order, Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang were a little surprised, because the contents were not as detailed as Lu Que's private letter to Gu Qingcheng. The imperial edict only inspired the soldiers in southern Xinjiang and asked the generals to act according to the military order of the outer cabinet. The military order of waige only has the detailed arrangement of the battle of Tianxing. In addition, it is a clear request for the time when the benlei army returns to zhennanguan.

According to the military order of waige, the benlei Legion went to the north of the Star City, the capital of Tianxing king, while the Yulin Legion continued to go south, and showed a horn like momentum with the benlei army in the south of the star city. Then the Yulin Legion divided again, leaving the Yulin scouting battalion and the 10000 Fengxiang cloud riders led by Gu Qingcheng to guard the south passage of Tianxing, while the 100000 soldiers of the Yulin army went south to Heyan city to attack Heyan city together with the main force of Fengxiang army.

After Heyan county was taken over, the Yulin army and Fengxiang army went north to Zhongxing city to take over the position of the benlei army. At this time, the benlei army returned north to zhennanguan to strengthen the defense of Daqian south line.

Looking at the contents of the military order, Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang frowned, because from now on, the outer pavilion has only given more than 20 days to conquer Heyan City, that is to say, Heyan city must be taken into hands before the new year's festival, making Tianxing king a lonely city.

This time is a little tight, obviously in order to deal with the tide of beasts, Lu que also gave up his previous tactics of using force without force, and planned to attack the city by force. But now Heyan city still has 80000 Tianxing troops to defend. Even if the number of the badminton army and Fengxiang army together is more than three times that of them, they still need to pay the price of bleeding if they want to break through the city.

"When we are in danger, we should make a choice. Although this order is a helpless move, it is the only way." Gu Huairen put the military order aside and said.

"It's Tianxing who destroys the country. On the contrary, the one who is in trouble has become our leader. This is the most strange thing in the world." Shen Zhang also nodded his head.

If there is no imminent outbreak of animal tide, the military order of waige will not have any problems. But now they both feel the tension and urgency of the coming storm. In their more than 20 years of military career, it was only during the northern Xinjiang war that they felt this way.

"Father, when will Wei Shuai arrive?" Seeing the time required by the military order, Gu Qingcheng was also a little worried. She understood Lu's thoughts. Even at this time, Lu still thought about how to minimize the battle losses of soldiers. Otherwise, Heyan City, which had been surrounded for nearly two months, could be won as long as the Fengxiang army attacked. There was no need to transfer the soldiers of the badminton army. But in this way, time would be a little tense.

"Wei Jiu must have received the military order from waige at this time. According to the time, he should arrive here in two days." Gu Huairen smell speech a little thought to say.

"Two days?" Gu Qingcheng thought about it and felt a little more secure. If Tianxing king didn't send troops out, it would take about seven days to get to Heyan county from here. The two armies would attack Heyan city with joint efforts. If they didn't count the losses, they would be able to break Heyan city in three or five days. In this way, there is still a little time to spare.

Gu Qingcheng understands that it takes time to move people and build a defense line. Lu que wants to cut off all hopes of the Star City, the capital of the star king, and then completely control the time. When Lu que finishes all the arrangements, it will be the day of the death of the Star Kingdom.

At the same time, in Nanli battlefield, Yu Yuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, located on the North Bank of Ning'an River, also received the emperor's imperial edict, military order of waige and a private letter from the emperor. The emperor did not hide anything from the youngest brother. He told Yu Yuanpu about the impending animal tide and the subsequent arrangements.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Yu Yuanpu can't help but see a glimmer of wonder in his eyes. Unlike Gu Huairen, who is thousands of miles away, Yu Yuanpu is nervous and excited. Even his hand holding the letter trembles with excitement. After looking back and forth at the contents of the letter, Yu Yuanpu murmurs, "since ancient times, the tide of animals has been a great disaster, But after the animal tide, the heaven and the earth are clear, and the spirit is prosperous. I didn't expect that the opportunity of the prosperous age of our great Qian was here. "

After staying in the camp for a while, Yu Yuanpu ordered the drummer to gather generals. Even if the speed of the fast wind army's march was the first, he needed to arrange the withdrawal in advance.

At the same time, Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu also returned to Zhongxing City, the capital of the king. Looking at the prime minister Qiu Zhengnan, Chai and Xie, who were standing at the gate of the city to meet the army, Yan Tuohai quickly welcomed them.

"I have met the Duke of Wucheng." Qiu Zhengnan said.

"Now that the country is like a dead egg, there is no need for the old prime minister to be polite." Yan Tuohai looked at that few months have not seen, hair and beard are white, seems to be more than ten years old Prime Minister Qiu Zhengnan, quickly jumped down the chase beast to lift it up.

"I don't know military affairs. Since the Duke of Wucheng has returned to the capital, he is still in charge of the capital." With that, Qiu Zhengnan took a wooden box from his bodyguard and opened it. Inside, he placed the seal of the heavenly king, which represents the supreme power of the heavenly star.

Looking at the seal, which is both familiar and strange to him, Yan Tuohai shakes his head. However, he takes it over and covers it again. He gives it to Wen Ju beside him and says to Qiu Zhengnan, "it's not urgent. Let's go to the city first."

"Well, say it in the city, say it in the city." Seeing that Yan Tuohai received Wang Yin, Qiu Zhengnan showed a smile on his face.

Sitting on the wide back of the beast and looking at the Star City in front of him, Yan Tuohai shakes his head again. He has no interest in the royal power, otherwise he would not have held the imperial edict in his hand at the beginning, and the throne would be handed over to his nephew Yan Wensheng. However, this jade seal only belongs to the star king family, and it must be placed with him when the star king is not in the capital today.

The army entered the city, but every soldier and general could not see the joy of returning to the capital. On the contrary, they were all confused and worried. Now the north of the capital has been lost, and the south of the capital is only Heyan city. They don't know where to go.

At the forefront of the team, Chai and Xie, looking at Yan Tuohai's back, saw a glimmer of haze in their eyes. Just now Yan Tuohai didn't say a word to them from the beginning to the end, and didn't even look at them. This made them both worried and resentful. It is to know that those who have finished laying eggs under the deep Ming nest have not been able to fight for power and gain as much as they used to do. Instead, they have gathered a lot of grain and materials from their families. And their legitimate sons, Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian, are now sitting in a lonely city in danger. They really don't understand why Yan Tuohai is doing this to them.

In fact, Yan Tuohai didn't know that he should win over these Shiqing families at this time, but he and Wen Ju left the capital and went to the remote place outside xiyuanze to guard. It was because of the joint efforts of the two families that he had to do so in order to protect himself. Now I see these two people, but I can't get up the interest to talk with them.

Holding Wang Xi's wooden box in both hands, he looks at Yan Tuohai, who is walking in front of him, and at Xie and Chai. He sighs a little in his heart. The feud between them can't be resolved in a day or two. It's just that the army is about to arrive at Zhongxing City, but it's not the time to investigate the past.

In fact, according to Wen Ju's idea, the two families should be controlled first. But considering that the two families are in Heyan City, they can't move them at this time. After thinking about it for a while, Wen Ju comes to Qiu Xu with two spurs and whispers, "Qiu Shuai, you've been thinking too much these days, so you're a little tired. Xie and Chai are there, I'd like to ask Qiu Shuai to help me

When Qiu Xu heard the speech, his face moved slightly. Then he shook his head and said, "Wen Jun Shi is too worried. They are all smart people. At this time, they naturally know how to do it."

With these words, Qiu Xu sighed in his heart. The reason why Tianxing is in today's situation is that the internal friction is too serious. The four sons won the throne and the civil war between the king and the capital, which consumed most of Tianxing's information. Now the country is like a dead egg, and the war is coming, but we still have to worry about these annoying things. Maybe Tianxing has really come to an end for hundreds of years.

At this time, Qiu Xu can't help thinking of his dead elder brother Qiu lie again. He thinks that the reason why the elder brother gave the detailed drawing of Tianxing and Nanli 36 counties to Lu que on his deathbed is that he has seen through this point. Thinking of Qiu Yue and Qiu Kui, who were officials in Nanhai county at this time, and Yan Wensheng, who left Wangdu and never came back, Qiu Xu felt a little shaken for the first time. He didn't know what he was doing right.

Just when Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu returned to Tianxing capital to rearrange the defense of Wangji, Wei Jiu led his army to join Gu Huairen and Shen Zhang, 150000 troops of benlei and 15yulin, together with 10000 Fengxiang yunqi and 10000 soldiers led by Gu Qingcheng, and a total of 320000 troops went southward. A few days later, after breaking the northern fortress of Tianxing capital, Wei Jiu led his army to the south, The Tianxing capital, which has been built for more than 500 years, is finally exposed to the army of Da Qian.
