Chapter 850 Chongzhou 8 Miles Urgent
"No, no, no, no, this is not the greatest advantage. The greatest advantage is forcing the enemy to split up and resist."
Dalha pointed to the military camps of Li Xiaoyi and Yang Dacheng.
"Look, although both sides have set up camp in a defensive posture, will they really be on the defensive forever?"
"Once they launch an attack, we will have to guard against a sudden attack from another army. In the process, we will have to leave more troops behind to guard against them."
"Li Xiaoyi's tactics are cunning and eccentric. I cannot predict what tactics he will use against us, but I can let him know that our army is invincible."
Dalha carefully looked at the map and finally confirmed that it would not take long to enter Fuzhou. He waved to Li Kaigu who had been silent.
"General Li, according to the intelligence His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin sent us yesterday, they may have already broken through Shanyin. In less than three days, we will travel a long distance to join Li Xiaoyi's defeated troops and bring him the news."
"I need you to put aside the gloom in your heart for the time being and quickly lead 5,000 black-armored cavalry to Shanyin County, Yuezhou, to meet up with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Tell him the news here, and then unite with the thousands of cavalry under His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to participate in this final battle."
Li Kaigu stood up and clasped his fists in response.
After Li Kaigu left, Daleha turned to Zhang Renyuan and said:
"General Zhang, please send a messenger to the camp of the Zuolongwuwei Army to inform General Fang Zhe of the latest orders. Starting tomorrow, we will advance sixty miles every day."
"Our own army also needs to advance another twenty miles and maintain a distance of twenty miles from General Fang Zhe."
……
The war in Jiangdong was in full swing, but the north was still in a strange atmosphere.
The four third-rank generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were on the defensive were trying their best to tighten their defense lines. Even Su Honghui of Yingzhou was making intensive preparations.
Since the death of Li Jinzhong, the Khitans have been very quiet recently, with no movement at all.
After ascending the throne, Prince Helu of the Turks discussed with the five tribes of Nuyibi and Duolu, and decided to raise an army of 200,000 to attack Chongzhou of the Great Zhou.
According to the information they received, Bukhara, Daleha, Buzhen and more than 16,000 Tiger Division cavalrymen who went south to the Great Zhou went to Wang Xiaojie's Chongzhou.
Wang Xiaojie of Chongzhou dared to accept these Turkic rebels, which meant he was against the Turks. They must make sure that Wang Xiaojie died without a burial place.
As for the result, Wu Chui Wu Qi Jin did not refuse.
The Turks have always respected the strong, and whoever wins will become the Khan of the Turks. This is how Jili Khan became Khan.
Now that Prince Helu has become the Khan of the Turks, they will willingly obey Helu Khan's orders.
The movements of the Turks could not be concealed from the spies of the four generals and one commander-in-chief, and the news was soon passed back to the Great Zhou. Wang Xiaojie knew that the situation was not good, and immediately sent people to deliver the news to Su Honghui in Yingzhou, Guo Yuanzhen in Youzhou, Feng Yang in Liangzhou and Quan Shancai in Dunhuang.
Then, he sent someone to deliver a message to Bu Zhen outside Chongzhou City, asking Bu Zhen to enter Chongzhou City.
In the face of an army of 200,000, the pincer attack seemed so weak that a surprise attack was necessary. So Bu Zhen and more than 16,000 cavalrymen of the Tiger Division disappeared after entering Chongzhou City.
The messenger heading to Luoyang carried the Tangbao and set off on the road, shouting that the journey would be 800 miles in an hour.
The people living on the northern border of the Great Zhou have begun to panic under the shadow of war.
……
The messenger who shouted that the urgency was to travel 800 miles had been on the road for three days when his horse stumbled in Taiyuan Prefecture and broke one of its legs, making it unable to run any longer.
The messenger had no choice but to run to the nearest county. After running for an unknown amount of time, he fell to the ground.
The bandits who had been hungry for several days and were preparing to rob houses had just come down the mountain. When they saw a person lying on the ground, they ran over under the leadership of the bandit leader and surrounded the messenger on the ground.
"Wake up, wake up, robbery, robbery!"
The messenger was shaken awake by the bandit leader and looked like he was close to death.
The bandit leader was startled and jumped back, trembling as he looked at the barely breathing messenger.
"Hey, we didn't hurt you, don't try to blackmail us!"
The messenger felt that he was almost exhausted, and had no choice but to wave to the bandit leader.
"Come here, come here."
The bandit leader was very cautious and said as he approached:
"We brothers don't have any money, and we've been hungry for several days... Huh? You're actually a government soldier?"
The bandit leader immediately became furious. He had just seen the man dressed in rags and looking like he was about to die, and he thought he was going to blackmail him. But now this guy actually took out a token from his pocket.
If this isn't government troops, what is it?
"I hate government troops the most in my life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to stay in the mountains and starve. Now I want yours..."
"Ok?"
The bandit leader had drawn his knife, but saw the messenger take out a newspaper from his bosom.
The messenger's hands were trembling as he raised the newspaper, as if to hand it to the bandit leader.
"The Turks are about to invade Chongzhou and are gathering an army of 200,000. This letter must be sent to Luoyang and handed over to Your Majesty, no matter what. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise...otherwise... Chongzhou will be in danger, and the people along the border of the Great Zhou will never have peace."
"Everyone, for the sake of the people, you...ah..."
Before the messenger could finish his words, the man was already dead. The bandit leader panicked and rushed over to hold Tang Bao in his arms.
"I didn't promise you, why the hell did you die?"
"Damn it, damn it!"
"Grass!"
"Brothers, find a good place to bury this man. Don't rob anyone before I come back. If you're hungry, go catch some fish in the river."
The bandits scratched their heads frantically.
"What about you, boss?"
"Boss, you're not taking us with you?"
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu, boss, why don't you want us anymore?"
The bandit leader spat on the ground.
He treated the newspaper as a treasure and put it in his arms.
"When did I say I don't want you guys anymore?"
"Listen up, there's trouble on the border, the people are suffering, I must send this report to the capital!"
A bandit came forward quickly and grabbed the bandit leader.
"Boss, you can't go!"
"Don't forget, you were one of the nineteen thieves of Baihelin in the past. If you send the things to the capital, won't those officials kill you?"
"For the sake of your life, you can't go, boss!"
The bandit leader simply brushed aside the little bandit and said:
"My eldest brother said, 'Everyone must die.' If I die for this, my legacy will be greater than Mount Tai."
"Stop yapping! I'm on my way. I have only one thing to say: you can starve to death but you are not allowed to rob ordinary people. Otherwise, even if I die, I will not let you go!"
He walked towards the south without looking back.
