Chapter 59 The Hidden Northwest

The chariots and horses are galloping, the dust and smoke are spreading, and the soldiers are lined up, and they don't know where to stop.

In the hills in the south of Zezhou, a group of people are traveling day and night.This team of more than [-] people is mainly infantry, and less than [-]% are cavalry. There is not much food, grass and luggage, which is only enough for daily supplies.The cavalry lead the way, the infantry follow, the ranks are silent, discipline is good, because no one wants to expend energy anywhere but marching.The mechanical footsteps, sluggish eyes, and the traces of long-term running have been clearly seen on the bodies of most soldiers.

In the military tent, Twilight shines through the narrow square window, casting a pair of dried peach-like eyes dimly.The owner of the dried peaches raised his head, leaned close to the window, and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Send the order and take a short rest."

This order is not much worse than Huang Enhaodang, and the whole army, even the men and horses, are all grateful. At this moment, the opportunity to sit down and relax the legs that are so sore and unconscious is something that no one can pay for. .The soldiers knew that resting at this time was nothing more than preparing for the night journey. If they did not carefully recover their physical strength, their lives might be in danger.The new commanding general is not a good guy, the military law is unprecedentedly strict, and the punishment for falling behind is almost equivalent to defecting.

"We must arrive at Yangcheng tonight, and head north to Qinshui after supplies." Gan Taozi got out of the car, ordered someone to open the map, and discussed the itinerary with the generals in his usual unquestionable tone.

"The general understands." Looking at Qian Taozi's sunken dark eyes, they knew that the military situation was urgent and there was no room for discussion.

Gan Taozi pinched the urgent express report that had just arrived, and couldn't hide her anger while haggard, "Five days, Yanzhou is gone."

What he said was 'disappeared', not 'fallen', 'broken', or 'lost'. The generals were all temporarily dispatched from various places, and it was difficult to figure out the true meaning of this important court official. The extent to which 'disappeared' is too vague.

The veteran who had experienced the border battle couldn't help but cursed: "This group of gangsters are moving too fast, they are really fucking evil!" In just over half a month, Jinmingzhai, Sanchuankou and other heavy military strongholds have been broken one after another. Today, they are famous for their fortification. The Yanzhou City is also... According to the comparison of Song Xia's military strength, Xixia wants to enter Yanzhou for at least a month.

"It's because there is evil in this matter that the old man has to rush over to find out." Gan Taozi raised his hand, signaling to stop work.The rein was handed over at the right time, and he glanced at the man handing the rein angrily, then got on the horse and shouted: "Let's go!"

Just now this scene happened almost every day, and it is well known that General Gan Taozi never had a good face towards that entourage.As for the reason, no one dares to ask, and there is no need to ask.

"Old Chen, tell me, the royal cat served as a follower for the grand master of the dynasty. Where did this song come from?" The young lieutenant finally couldn't hold back the doubts he had been having for many days, and asked the officer who served in the imperial city's imperial army. The senior asked for advice.

"With the trouble at the border, the imperial court has not many soldiers available. The grand master invited him to go out. It is only right for the emperor to send someone to help. Moreover, the royal cat is outstanding in martial arts and has won the sacred heart. With his protection, we can The Grand Master is safe."

"But these two..." Counting the grievances and grievances between Kaifeng Mansion and Taishi Mansion, I can't finish it for days and nights.

"It's a holy will. These two masters, who would rather see each other? The grand master can't wait to eat Zhan Zhao. I have pity on this kid. He has accepted such an errand." Zhan Zhao couldn't help but lower his voice.

The twilight faded, the sky was gloomy, and it rained lightly at the beginning of the night, but this did not hinder the scheduled itinerary.

Around Xu time, the exhausted team finally arrived in Yangcheng after being exhausted by mud and fatigue. But at this moment, the light rain stopped, and only a crescent moon hung high in the night sky.

Yangcheng County had already prepared the army's supplies as ordered, and after handing in the errands, they retreated knowingly. The soldiers set up tents and fell asleep. In the brightly lit hall, the generals had already begun to discuss the situation of the war. Standing silently on the sidelines waiting to be dispatched.

The grand master stood supporting the case, frowned and raised his raised eyebrows, stared at everyone and said in a hoarse voice: "Currently, the motive for Xixia's invasion is still unclear. With the loss of Yanzhou, the situation of our northwest frontier defense is not optimistic. It can even be said that our large The territory of Song Dynasty is in danger." The light shone obliquely on his not full face, making the sunken eye sockets even more strange.Seeing that everyone's complexion was not good, he raised his eyes again and said: "This old man is definitely not threatening or alarmist."
