Chapter 363

After Gu Huairen and other Princess Tianxiang finished writing the book of nations, they signed their names on the back and sealed the seals of Da Qian Jun Xiang and Ding Guogong. Yu Tianxiang also took out her private seal and sealed it. In this way, although the letter did not come from Ziji hall and Daqian cabinet, it also had enough credibility.

Because there are many private things that can't be written in the book of nations, Yu Tianxiang pulls a piece of paper and starts to write again. This private agreement can't be written as formal as the letter of state. Yu Tianxiang explains in the letter that he and junxianggu have no right to decide the marriage of crown prince Daqian. Then he makes a promise. At the end of the letter, Yu Tianxiang seals the gold seal of that party on her behalf again.

"Please send him to the city." Yu Tianxiang rolled up the book, dried the ink on the paper, folded it and put it in the middle of the desk.

"In the morning, Yan Tuohai sent someone to send a letter to him. If we reply to him in the afternoon, it would be too urgent. We'd better wait a few days." Gu Huairen shook his head and said.

"Gu Xiang is really a mature and prudent man." Yu Tianxiang immediately understood Gu Huairen's meaning and said, "anyway, Lu Que's army hasn't reached Danshui. Let Yan Tuohai wait for a few days. And this may make Yan Tuohai feel that we are more sincere. "

"Your Highness, I see." Gu Huairen nodded with a smile.

In a twinkling of an eye, three days passed. Because there were too many heavy war equipment to be transported, the time for Changqing army to arrive at Danshui was one day in the evening than Lu que expected. However, he had not received the news of Tianxing's surrender up to now. The time of that day in the evening was nothing to him.

When Lu Kuo led the army to the North Bank of Danshui, Shen Zhang, the commander of the thunder army, also arrived at the South Bank of Danshui and was crossing the river with the help of the Changqing army led by Zhong Lixian. Knowing that Lu que had led his troops to the stone fortresses on Longpan and Huju mountains on the north bank, Shen Zhang quickly handed over his troops to the battalion commanders, and asked them to land on the north bank one after another with the help of the Changqing water army. However, he jumped into a boat and rushed to the north bank.

Longpan mountain and Huju mountain are located on the North Bank of Danshui River. Between the two mountains, there is a gorge with a length of 10 Li and a width of 10 Li. Longpan mountain is like a serpentine dragon, while Huju mountain is like a giant tiger crouching on the Bank of Danshui River. But compared with Huju mountain, the terrain of Longpan mountain is much more gentle. Only a few miles away from the two mountains, but has a completely different style, have to praise the uncanny workmanship of nature.

Because the mountain of Longpan is relatively gentle and the terrain is not as favorable as Huju mountain, Lu que directly set up his Chinese Army account here and personally led the army to guard it. After landing, Shen Zhang asked several Changqing soldiers who had died, and then came directly to Longpan mountain.

Although Shen Zhang was a senior figure, only a few years younger than Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, Lu que was the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang and had the power to control the major armies of Southern Xinjiang. When Shen Zhang came here, he naturally came to see him. Moreover, he really had some things to ask like Lu que. The previous military newspapers were too brief after all, and many precise arrangements were not mentioned too much. For the life of his soldiers and the safety of Da Qian, he had to listen to Lu Que's own words to be at ease.

When I came to longpanshan fortress, which had been repaired and reinforced, I saw that Changqing soldiers were assembling heavy equipment such as Thunderbolt cart, broken crossbow and Shenji crossbow on the fortress wall. Shen Zhang also had to admire Lu Que's great skill. Every war weapon like this costs a lot of money. Perhaps only Lu que could make his majesty make up his mind to use so many resources to build so many large military equipment.

He was taken to a stone hall in the center of the fortress by a captain of the Changqing army. Shen Zhang knew that this was the temporary office of Lu Que and the brain and heart of the whole southern Xinjiang army. Seeing that the main door of the Ming hall was not closed, Shen Zhangyun looked inside. He saw a young man in a military uniform, who was writing something.

Shen Zhang's serious and attentive manner made him feel a little trance and disordered in time and space. He seemed to be back more than 20 years ago. This young man was so similar to Lu Chun, the proud son of the school. It's just that the young man in front of him is younger and more talented than Lu Chun at that time. At least Lu Chun at that time has absolutely no power in his hands.

"Shen Zhang, commander-in-chief of the thunder army, has met commander-in-chief Lu." Shen Zhang strode into the hall and gave a military salute with both hands clasping his fist. Now Lu que is no more than last year. He is a real commander-in-chief in southern Xinjiang. From the first grade official position, his position is higher than that of the second grade commander-in-chief.

In addition, although Daqian has four generals in southeast, northwest and North Xinjiang, the position of generals is not permanent. In the past 50 years, only four people have ever sat in this position. Lei xuanjian, a 30-year-old Guimian army commander, Lu Chun 20 years ago, Bai Yi three years ago and Lu que now. Among the four, Lu que undoubtedly had the most troops and the most power, because he controlled not only the major armies and guards in southern Xinjiang, but also Gu Huairen and Yu Yuanpu.

"Shen Shuai, please wait a moment. I'll be ready in a minute." Lu said a word to Shen Zhang, and then called for tea. Then he turned his eyes to the table again and wrote something like a flying pen.

Shen Zhang didn't mind. He took a seat at random and sat down. While drinking tea, he peeped at him, and his eyes flashed a little praise. It's not the first time anyone has led so many troops that they are able to do so. At present, the young man's layout strategy is far superior to that of ordinary people. What he lacks most is his disposition. He is also far superior to many veteran generals in the army.

"Well, let Shen Shuai wait." About half an hour later, Lu kuocai raised his head and spread out his writing on the desk, with a long sigh of relief.

"Not long." Shen Zhang put down his tea cup and asked curiously, "I don't know what Lu Shuai just wrote?"

Lu que Wen Yan is not used to saying, "Uncle Shen, you went to the grassland with your father and mother in those years. You are also friends with them. You are my elder. When no one is around, you'd better call me by my name. It's a bit awkward to match your official position."

Although Lu que is now in power, on the one hand, he is still young, and on the other hand, he has been promoted too fast. It took him only a little more than a year to go from a student without a job to a commander-in-chief in southern Xinjiang. He does not have the style of sophisticated officials.

"All right." Shen Zhang slightly hesitated for simultaneous interpreting, but he looked at the appreciation of Lu Wei's eyes. However, he was much more appreciable. Lu Wei was indeed as old as a gentleman in the rumor. He was so gentle and proud that he was not proud of himself. Shen Shen had only seen three people in his life. That was the three heroes of the year, Lu Chun, Ji Zhi Heng and Bai Li Jia. However, Shen Zhang was relieved to think that Lu que was taught by Lu Chun and Bai Lijia. Only such people can teach such disciples as Lu que.

"It's a document written to Gu Xiang, which is related to the deployment of the southern bank of Huangyan River after the fall of Tianxing." Lu que picked up the paper full of words on the desk and shook it in the air. Seeing that the ink had dried out, he folded it.

"Lu que, are you so sure that star city will choose to surrender in the end?" Shen Zhang asked in surprise. At that time, Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu launched several night raids. If he was not alert enough and had 50000 benlei heavy riders in his hands, he might not have been able to block Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu's troops in Zhongxing city in that half month.

In his opinion, the resistance will in Zhongxing city is still very firm. At least in several small-scale frictions, the fighting will of Tianxing army in Zhongxing city is no worse than its own thunder army. In Shen Zhang's opinion, even if Zhongxing city finally surrenders, it should be when the food and grass in the city are exhausted and it really can't hold on, not now.

"Star City will definitely fall." Lu que said firmly, "the state system of Tianxing is not much different from that of Daxuan more than 400 years ago. The royal family governs the major families, and then the major families govern the people at the bottom. If it is normal, such a relationship may be maintained, but at the time of the collapse of the country, each family will certainly make plans for itself. In addition, the legitimate sons of the biggest families of Tianxing are released. At this time, even if Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu want to stick to them, they can't because they can't believe these big families. "

"Won't Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu solve the problems behind them once and for all?" Shen Zhang palmed his right hand and made a gesture of cutting.

"No, Tianxing's big families have been handed down for hundreds of years, even hundreds of years. For those families who hold real power in their hands and have been handed down for a long time, no one knows how many cards they have until the last moment. Yan Tuohai was born in the Tianxing family, and Qiu Xu is the head of the Qiu family among the three Shiqing families. They must know this very well. " Lu que shook his head and said.

"Well, according to your guess, when will the Star City affair end?" Shen Zhang asked again.

Lu que calculated the time in his mind and said, "if I'm not wrong, there will be results in ten days, but I don't know what kind of conditions Tianxing will put forward. But Gu Xiang is in charge of this matter, and Princess Tianxiang is there, but I don't need to worry about it. "

Hearing this, Shen Zhang showed a smile and said, "it's a good thing if we can win the star city with no blood. In this way, we can not only reduce the loss of military strength, but also increase more than 200000 troops. Even if we choose the best, we can still leave about 150000 elite troops."

"If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble." Lu que nodded with a smile. He never thought of attacking Tianxing Wangdu, otherwise he would not have sent the badminton army south to attack Heyan city with Fengxiang army. Because he was very clear that Zhongxing City, as the capital of Tianxing king, had been operated by Yan Family for more than 500 years, and its scale was not lower than that of the eight auxiliary capitals of Daqian.

Lu que has never been to the Star City, but he has been to Qixia City and Qingquan City, the eight capital cities of Daqian. It is absolutely an act of killing a thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred. Even if he can win in the end, he will only win miserably, which is not in Daqian's current interests.

"Lu que, are you sure that xiyuanze animal tide will break out?" Shen Zhang's voice changed and he asked again.

"It's not 100% sure, but 70% or 80% is still there." Although Lu que said so, the affirmation in his words can be heard by everyone.

"Then how do we deal with it? Can we only rely on Zhennan pass to defend it?" Shen Zhang asked again.

As one of the commanders of the twelve main armies of Daqian, he is also the commander of the benlei army with the largest number of soldiers in the twelve armies. Naturally, he can't fail to understand the truth that long-term defense is inevitable. Although zhennanguan is majestic and strong, it is also located between the two mountains, and the terrain is extremely steep. However, it can not be regarded as completely safe. There has never been an unbreakable city in the world, and zhennanguan will not be an exception.

"Uncle Shen, you have a heavy burden. There are 300000 people in your thunder army. Plus the left and right Zhuo guards, the forces in zhennanguan are close to 400000. I need you to use these forces to block the tide of animals in zhennanguan for half a month to a month." Lu said seriously.

"Hiss ~" Shen Zhang took a cold breath.

If it is to block the first wave of attack, he is 90% sure. As for the remaining 10%, it comes from the fact that I don't know if there are raptors in the animal tide. However, Shen Zhang didn't have so much confidence if he had to stay for half a month to a month, because what Lu said was the front line of zhennanguan, not only including zhennanguan, but also the mountains on both sides of zhennanguan. How many lives will it take to stop them from entering Daqian in the forest as the main field of wild animals.

But before Shen Zhang spoke, Lu que said, "the front line of Zhennan pass should not only block the tide of animals for half a month to a month, but also not use thunder to ride again. Uncle Shen, the only heavy cavalry in southern Xinjiang under your command is the key to the final victory, because only heavy cavalry can move freely among the sea like herds. "

Shen Zhang felt bitter when he heard that Lu Que's words at this time did not come from an old friend's son's request to his uncle, but from the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang's military command to him. No matter how difficult it is, he can only carry out it. Moreover, Lu que has already transferred the left and right Zhuo guards to zhennanguan, which almost gives him the largest force he can mobilize now. Facing this situation, Shen Zhang really can't find any reason to refute.

Seeing Shen Zhang's hesitation, Lu que said, "Uncle Shen, in addition to the left and right Zhuo guards, the eight Phoenix guards will build a second line of defense in the front line of Qingquan City, and the people of the border counties in southern Xinjiang will still withdraw. If there are scattered herds crossing the mountain to enter Daqian, it's nothing, but the main force of the animal tide must be dragged in the front line of zhennanguan."
