Chapter 61 The Hidden Northwest

He retreated from the servants and stood alone in the evening wind. He was a little frustrated. Is it because there is no military information ahead, or because he underestimated the battle on the front line, Xixia has infiltrated into my rear and cut off the information transmission route, or...he was too impatient, Gao Estimated the efficiency of the boys on the front line... The grand master sighed: "Is Pang Ji asking for trouble this time? Forget it, it's better to stay here and deal with the Xixia thieves than to face Bao Zheng's bad face every day."

The dry and cold wind came unexpectedly, blowing straight to the Taishi's body numb. Although it is summer now, this place is far less humid than Bianjing. As soon as the sun sets, the air suddenly cools down. "It's cool in the morning and evening, please go back to the house to rest, General." The thick cloak with a stand-up collar fell gently on the Grand Master's shoulders, blocking out the invading cool wind.

The grand master wrapped in a cloak was a little surprised, why these servants were so bold today, they dared to come over without ordering.He looked back, could not help but helplessly, Zhan Zhao.He asked sharply: "What are you doing here! The old man didn't allow you to come near!"

"This subordinate is taking the liberty. Because the mountain wind is cold, blowing for a long time may hurt the body. As the accompanying guard, it is my duty to ensure the general's safety. So please forgive me, general." Zhan Zhao bowed and saluted, dressed lightly. The gray guard outfit made him look even more heroic from his original elegance.

"You have the same virtue as Bao Zheng, no matter what you do, you can find a bunch of boring reasons for yourself." The grand master straightened the cloak on his body, and his deep-set eyes were shining brightly with contempt. "You go, the old man wants to be alone."

"Please forgive me for not being able to follow orders. This subordinate knows that the general is worried about the battle ahead and cannot sleep at night. But the general is the leader of this expedition. If you make a mistake, the impact on the entire battle situation will be immeasurable." As he spoke, he turned sideways He turned around and gave way to the back path, "General, please think twice." He bowed slightly, waiting for the grand master to leave, it seemed that he would never leave this place before the grand master.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao's behavior became more and more displeased, the grand master simply stood there with his chest folded, squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "Heizi Bao is really a good guard, okay, let's not move anyone, just waste it like this, who cares?" Who can consume more energy?" He knew that the unlined clothes on Zhan Zhao's body would definitely not consume as much as the cloak on his own, and that he was leaning over to face the wind, no matter how much he wore, the cold wind would still pour into his body along his neck, it was time to teach Teach the cat to back down.

The housekeeper Pang Liu shrank his neck and ran over in small steps. Seeing the two facing each other, he was really shocked. "Old...Master, the urgent delivery from Beijing has arrived." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhan Zhao and thought to himself: I told you not to come, you came instead.

"It's cheaper for you this time." The urgent delivery in Beijing must be an imperial edict, and there should be no delay.

"Congratulations to the general." Zhan Zhao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the delivery was urgent, otherwise he didn't know how long it would take.He didn't care about pouring cold wind all over his body, but he really didn't know how to ease the relationship with the Grand Master, and he couldn't find any other way except to treat each other sincerely.

After reading the urgent delivery, the grand master felt relieved, and said silently: "The emperor is benevolent, and the old minister vows to die." But at this moment, if the information line is cut off, he will be no different from a blind person. Beyond Qinshui and further north is the boundary of Jinzhou, which is one step closer to the possible penetration range of Xixia forces.To be on the safe side, the Taishi sent urgent mail overnight to the four prefectures of Jin, Jiang, Xi, and Ci, ordering them to closely investigate the Xixia forces that might have infiltrated, and to report back quickly.He decided that no matter whether the news from the four states is worrying or happy, the army must insist on going north. He has no choice until Xixia's motives are clarified.

After walking the mountain road for about three days, they completely entered the area of ​​Wuling Mountain in Jinzhou. The returns from the four states also arrived as scheduled. Except for the slight commotion in Xizhou, the other three states did not notice any signs of infiltration.This news relieved the Grand Master a lot. At least he could infer that the main force of Xixia was still operating in the area west of the Yellow River on Yanyan Road, and had not really threatened the states on Hedong Road. As long as this was the case, the situation would still be under control.It was not until the sixth day after leaving Qinshui, when the army was resting thirty miles outside Jinzhou City, that the Grand Master received the first urgent military dispatch from the front. With a large package of medicinal materials...

'According to the general's order, our army moved closer to the southern foothills of Yanzhou on the [-]rd. The Xixia 丨 army was stationed outside the city of Yanzhou.On the [-]th day, the enemy did not move, and the general led a small force to check around and found something abnormal.The total number of enemy battalions is only over [-]. Even if we break through our heavy defense line, the damage must be serious. However, the number of wounded in the army is only eleven, the soldiers are full of energy, and there is no obvious damage to weapons, chariots, etc. The face of fierce battle.The last general was supposed to report back overnight, but unexpectedly the Zuoying was suddenly attacked by an unknown team. Although the number of them was small, their combat power was extremely high... It was almost like a monster.The enemy took advantage of the situation to attack, and our army suffered heavy losses.The last general led his troops to forcibly escape and hid in the mountains. He deeply felt that Xixia's trip was no small matter, and his use of troops was strange.Fearing that the information would be intercepted, he had to send his cronies to pretend to be drug dealers to deliver it.Xixia is treacherous, please be careful, general.In the end, we will contact the surrounding states as soon as possible to activate the emergency mail.

In addition, due to the delay in the military situation, the last general dare not beg for forgiveness, and he will kill the enemy in a bloody battle to apologize for his felony! '

After reading it, the grand master is speechless.He felt his entire spine and the back of his head go numb, clutching this piece of information that exudes the smell of medicinal materials, looking at the scrawled writing on it, he couldn't help but look sad: "Even he was forced to do this, the defeat of the Northwest Frontier Defense , by no means by chance."

The next day, arrived in Jinzhou city.Just after noon, the Grand Master received the second urgent delivery from the front line. It seemed that the emergency line was working.The first half of the urgent delivery recounted the content sent by the previous drug dealer, obviously because they were worried that the drug dealer would encounter accidents halfway, and then the latest information was obtained.
