alien war

Bianjing, Imperial Study Room.

Zhao Zhen put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his stiff neck. Seeing that the fourth watch was over, he murmured to himself, "Forget it, I won't go back tonight." After a while, there was only one copy of the Northwest Military Information Express at hand.

Since the grand master led troops to the northwest, the daily court seemed to be quieter, at least the war of words was not as intense as in the past.

He opened the urgent delivery paper and read the few lines on it repeatedly, each time he read it, he was filled with emotions.He lamented that the grand master, who was always chattering in the court, was so precious in reporting the military situation, and the necessary reports were the same, but the content was extremely concise, and sometimes the number of words for an urgent delivery was not enough to fill in a poem .This copy was delivered about half a month ago, and the content of the expression was neither long nor short. In addition to reporting the situation of the army, it also bluntly refuted his proposal. For the Grand Master, such straightforwardness Extremely rare.

At that time, the front line was defeated, Yanzhou fell, and the northwest battlefield was full of dangers. He had faintly sensed that something was wrong, so he mobilized soldiers and horses from surrounding areas as follow-up reinforcements, and instructed the grand master to protect himself when necessary and wait for reinforcements. Reply, good generals are hard to find... Unexpectedly, they were rejected by the other party...

The minister has led his troops to Qinshui, and the main road on the front line may be controlled by the enemy, so there is no news yet.The ministers have urgently handed over to Jin, Jiang, Xi, and Ci, and beware of the chaos of the party.In addition, the emperor's intentions made me cry, but my ministers disagreed with what the emperor said. It is the duty of a soldier to guard the frontier and defend the country.Minister Pang Ji paused. '

He leaned his head against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.He knew very well that he couldn't convince the grand master, since the grand master asked for the expedition.But fortunately, the grand master finally has a reliable person to support him.Fortunately, he insisted on arranging Zhan Zhao to be the guard of the grand master at the beginning. Although the grand master strongly protested, he finally accepted it as a condition for allowing him to lead the army.Zhao Zhen believes that as long as Zhan Zhao is there, the Grand Master will be safe.But in this way, Zhan Zhao has been wronged...Knowing that the Grand Master Su and the Kaifeng Mansion are not on good terms, knowing that the Grand Master will try his best to make it difficult for Zhan Zhao...But there is no way, I can really not do what I want under any circumstances There are not many guards who are dedicated to their duties, at least, this is the only one he can recognize.But when the red-clothed guard with clear eyes heard his worries, he smiled and comforted him, asking him not to worry too much. The phrase 'no grievance' is so easy to say, is it true? Are you not wronged...

"Zhan Zhao, do you know that the more you don't feel wronged, the more disturbed I will be..."

What should come, will come sooner or later, just like fate, which cannot be escaped.

The ambush team arranged by the Song army in the mountains has already fought with Xixia, trying to use the favorable terrain to catch the enemy by surprise and minimize the threat of the Xixia army to the main force in the city during a head-on confrontation.Due to the unfamiliar terrain, the inaccurate map in his hand, and the malicious sabotage of the main road by the Song army, Xixia had to venture through dangerous areas. Although he survived several rounds of ambushes, he suffered a lot of casualties.Fortunately, the Celestial Master dispatched ghost soldiers, otherwise the consequences would be worrisome.

And not long after that, the grand master obtained a series of intermittent information about the demon soldiers. Although there were only a few pages, they were incomparable to those front-line battle reports, absolutely true, and used thousands of soldiers. Precious information in exchange for life.

"On the battlefield, it is absolutely necessary to know the enemy and the enemy." The grand master comforted himself in his heart as he reviewed this expensive information. "There is nothing wrong with giving up and sacrificing for the sake of the overall situation." He knew that now is definitely not the time to remember the souls of the dead, because there will be more souls of the dead in the near future, and he is very likely to be one of them member.

'The number of people is about a hundred, and the number and scale of the several counterattacks are different; The longer the counterattack, the larger the scale of the counterattack..." The grand master worked hard to sort out the messy information about the demon soldiers, and at the same time tried his best to ignore the indignant eyes in the room. At least he felt that the indignation in those eyes was unmistakable .

Zhan Zhao did not expect that the grand master ordered him to proofread the topographic map of Xizhou, and then traveled long distances to set up an advantageous ambush point in the mountains, in order to obtain information on the enemy's strength at the expense of the lives of the ambush soldiers!Even though our army has [-] generals, every single soldier is a living person. It is too irresponsible to treat them like this. What is the difference between this approach and the slaughterer?Facing questioning, the sentence full of vicissitudes of life, "Do you think the old man is willing?" made him speechless.To deal with unknown enemies, the only hearsay at hand cannot be used for tactical thinking at all, and the grand master's approach is indeed correct.At this moment, what makes him indignant is not the loss of those innocent lives, nor the dishonorable means of the grand master, but the instigator who hides behind and has never shown himself and his incompetence that failed to figure out the truth back then The investigator, and that investigator was himself.

The next day, Wuzang led his army to station [-] miles outside Xizhou City. Taking advantage of the exhaustion of his army, the Taishi sent Guo Zhan and Li Jinhu to lead a surprise attack, and waited for the opportunity to cut off his food and grass to explore his military situation.Although Song Jun didn't get any advantage from this attack, he didn't suffer too much, because the monster didn't show up as expected.

"Stop chasing, withdraw the troops and return to the camp." After chasing out of the camp for five or six miles, the slightly tired Wuzang Mankui gave an order.

"General, why is this? With our strength, we have no problem eating them." Pioneer was puzzled.

"The opponent is Pang Ji, so we have to guard against it." Mei Zang glanced at Song Jun who was going away, and turned his horse's head, "Besides, the Celestial Master is not here, so don't be rash."

"What is the origin of this Pang Ji? The general praised him so much." Xianfeng didn't expect that the always proud general would mind a civil servant.

Wu Zang sighed: "Killing my father and my enemy. Back then my father fell into his trap and died, but I didn't expect that the random arrows would not kill him. This time it's not so cheap. I'm going to take his life myself !” After saying that, he hit his horse and galloped away.

Based on the analysis of the existing intelligence, it can be seen that Xixia did not dispatch demons, but was obviously accumulating strength and was preparing to break through Xizhou City in one fell swoop. This deadly battle between Song and Xia was imminent.
