Chapter 367 Xi Zhang's Predicament

"Old He, you are going to the city now." Song Huiyue put down her chopsticks, her expression suddenly became serious, "Go and find out if there has been any change in the Chen family recently, and see if Zhang Xutang has left him anything, or brought him something. What are you going for?"

He Jianghuai stood up quickly: "Yes, I'll go right away."

"Li Jun, are you still able to walk?" Song Huiyue looked at Li Jun's bulging stomach.

Li Jun hiccupped, feeling that he was stretched out of his throat, stood up with his left hand on the table, and tried to take two steps: "It's okay, if you need something, please tell me."

"You go to Xizhang and tell him to be more careful and don't be careless."

Li Jun was taken aback: "Do you suspect that Zhang Xutang is going to kill him?"

"Well," Song Huiyue frowned, "Zhang Xutang was seen making a fool of himself in the capital, and he wanted to kill him, not to mention that Xizhang rescued me from his hands and fooled him."

"Xiaotian!" Li Jun quickly called Tian Jiguang loudly, "Help me get dressed! I'm going back to the barracks!"

Tian Jiguang trotted in all the way, took off the cloak from the screen, tied it on him, and put a hat on him.

Li Jun took two steps outside, turned to Song Huiyue and said, "You and Yin Xiao go back to the barracks first, I'm afraid Xi Zhang will look for Yin Xiao."

Song Huiyue nodded, and also stood up. Tian Jiguang was about to take off the cloak for her, but Yin Xiao had already strode forward, took off the cloak, shook it off, put it on Song Huiyue's shoulders, and tied a knot.

Song Huiyue walked out without looking back. Yin Xiao turned around and took off her hat, and rushed to catch up with her to put it on. He took the spear from the door and followed her shadow into the wilderness.

Tian Jiguang's hand was still hanging in the air, and he slowly let it go after watching the two of them disappear, feeling that he was very redundant at that moment.

He Jianghuai soon found out that Chen Qiuping's only son had entered Beijing with Zhang Xutang, and immediately asked someone to bring the news to Song Huiyue and Li Jun, who then told Xi Zhang to be careful.

Xi Zhang was not a mindless person, so he immediately asked Lei Tong to follow him. After a few days of being so careful, he did not see any detrimental actions against him.

Just when everyone was about to relax, suddenly an urgent call came from the capital, hitting everyone like a bolt from the blue.

After getting the good news today, I was overjoyed, and decided that I was really a rare Mingjun, who was expected to recover the lost land in my lifetime. When I issued an order to reward the three armies, I also issued a military order to let the Dingzhou army gather. Taking advantage of this power, I started from Yingzhou , break through Mozhou as soon as possible, break through Waqiao Pass, and then take this great opportunity to take down the land behind the mountain.

Only by fighting quickly can we win quickly.

Today, in the imperial decree, three fast words were mentioned in succession, and Dingzhou commander, transfer envoy and others were ordered to supervise the war.

However, Dingzhou has no intention of taking advantage of this opportunity to attack.

It is very difficult to win Yingzhou, not to mention that after the first battle of Yingzhou, the Liao Kingdom has sent tens of thousands of troops to Mozhou, one is to regain Yingzhou, and the other is to defend Waqiao Pass.

Both the Forbidden Army and the commanders of the Xiang Army believe that it is far more difficult to conquer Mozhou than it is today on paper. The current situation should be to stabilize the results of Yingzhou, fight steadily, and then fight in small groups to consume Liao soldiers, make another big move.

What's more, as long as Yingzhou is stable, they can attack, retreat and defend. They can also build Yingzhou into a city camp and use it as a base to recover the sixteen states.

The main army did not move, but the Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army joined forces to report their strategies and difficulties to the present. The first one is the lack of food and grass, and the second is the cold spring. Death is also unknown, and all previous efforts will be wasted by then.

However, after seeing Zhezi today, he was furious, thinking that the army of Dingzhou dared to disobey his orders, and it would be punishable.

He issued two orders in a row, urging the army to take Mozhou in one go, don't miss the opportunity, the food and grass are already on the way, don't use the food and grass as an excuse to be lazy.

Dingzhou Shuaisi and Transshipment Division also urged one after another, but the army still didn't move.

Today, I once again scolded the commander of Dingzhou for his self-respect, disregarding righteousness, and failing to understand the overall situation. He issued three gold medals, hand-picked Xizhang, and ordered him to still lead the former army and go to Mozhou Pingfan quickly. If there is any delay, he will not be executed amnesty.

Chen Qiuping's request for merit is undoubtedly to let Xi Zhang go to die, and the golden plaque is a reminder.

The whole army was very indignant, but Xi Zhang himself should eat and drink. At the same time, he brought the two beloved generals with him. He looked at Leitong who was like a hill for a while, and Yin Xiao who was taciturn. I hugged the two beauties left and right, and I felt very proud.

Regarding the matter of going to die, he didn't say a word, and the others didn't dare to talk too much. They were all silent until an envoy sent three gold medals to let Xi Zhang lead troops to attack Mozhou. raised it.

At the end of March, the soldiers who controlled Wan Tengxiong led Xi Zhang to the barracks.

At this time, everyone in the city camp was resting and waiting for orders. Everyone who was not injured was practicing hard without looking sideways. Xi Zhang led Ai Jiang through it, and he was in a very good mood.

When he came to Wancheng Xiong's camp, You Song was waiting outside. When he saw Xi Zhang, he went forward to salute, and said in a low voice: "Your going to Mozhou has been decided, I'm afraid there is no room for maneuver, but if you have an old illness , and now the old illness suddenly broke out, and I can't lead the army, so I have to discuss it again."

Xi Zhang said in a low voice: "Thank you prince for your kindness for me, the military order is like a mountain, if the beam is not upright, how can you lead the army."

He straightened up, patted You Song on the shoulder hard, and said loudly: "You kid, you've been loitering all day long, and you still don't want to go back to your army!"

Wan Tengxiong heard Xi Zhang's voice in the camp, and laughed: "You son of a bitch, who are you training, get out of here!"

You Song smiled and stepped forward to roll up the curtain for Xi Zhang. Xi Zhang bent down and got in, while Yin Xiao and Lei Tong stayed outside. Before the curtain was lowered, Wan Tengxiong said: "Your little love will Well, bring it in and let me see."

"Xiaolou, come in!" Xi Zhang greeted without hesitation.

So Xiaolou also bent down and got in.

As soon as Yin Xiao entered the camp, his eyes were like a falcon, looking around sharply and quickly at the situation in the camp.

The tent of the Chinese army is twice as large as that of the ordinary camp, and can accommodate [-] or [-] people to discuss matters. On the left side is a topographic map drawn with rice and sand, with detailed hills, rivers, and fortresses of sixteen states. There is a sword stand behind the sand table. , a sword is on the shelf, and a large sheepskin map is hung on the back, which shows the land of the Liao and Xia countries, which is relatively rough and not detailed.

In the middle is a table case with top chairs, behind which there are piles of books, on the right is a black lacquered screen with war robes on it, and a net shelf behind the screen.

Wan Tengxiong is already sixty-one, with gray hair, but he is hale and hearty, with piercing eyes, old and immortal, and he catches Yin Xiao at a glance.

He squinted his eyes and looked Yin Xiao up and down. Xi Zhang was about to introduce, but he suddenly asked: "Xiao Lou, how many people did I see at my place just now, except for the three of us."

"Five." Yin Xiao answered immediately.

Xi Zhang looked around suspiciously, but only saw four people, two standing by the door, and two standing next to Wan Tengxiong, where is the other one?
