Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 176 We really can't leave Dali
Imperial City, inside Shengtian Hall.

Li Huang hunched over, standing in front of the window, looking at the branches and leaves fluttering in the breeze outside the window, slightly stunned.

Eunuch Lu came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Yunyan City has once again been attacked by the Rong army."

"The four northern Rong clan royal courts assembled 50 troops and approached Yunyan City. Yuwen Chengdu, the general of Yunyan City, burned half of the city, temporarily delaying the attack of the Rong clan army, waiting for support."

He reported very fast.

Li Huang didn't speak, he was still looking at the fluttering branches outside the window, the wind blowing in from the window made his pale beard flutter slightly.

"The cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Mansion are already waiting in the hall." Eunuch Lu said again.

Only then did Li Huang turn around, sit on the chair behind the desk, and said with a calm expression: "Decree has been passed to make Li Xun the governor of Beizhou, Qinzhou, and Liangzhou, to take charge of the military and administration of the three states, and to manage the guarding forces of the three states. The Three-State Frontier Army, the Prime Minister's Northern Warfare!"

Eunuch Lu lowered his head and replied, "Old slave obeys!"

"Let everyone in the hall disperse!"

Li Huang's voice floated up again.

Eunuch Lu raised his head, looked at Li Huang, who was leaning on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, and said goodbye, and slowly exited the room.

……

There are four royal courts of the Rong nationality in the north of Dali, namely Wuhuan royal court, Huyan royal court, Kangju royal court and Wusun royal court.

Among them, the Wuhuan Royal Court occupies the most fertile grassland, has the largest population, and is the most powerful.

In Yunyan City.

Black soldiers and horses poured into the city stepping on the dust all over the ground, filled with the smell of burnt.

Among the army, a tall man was riding on a horse, holding a simple knife, looking up at the city wall in front of him.

This tall man is the new king of Wuhuan Royal Court, Uher, who is only in his 40s. It is so extraordinary that it has become the most dazzling sunrise by countless herdsmen on the grassland.

Three years ago, after Uher became the King of Wuhuan, he showed obvious hostility towards Dali. He was unwilling to submit to Dali. Under his instruction, many Rong tribes on the border of Dali are constantly provoking Dali's border troops.

Previously, Dali's frontier army was invaded by Rong cavalry one after another, and it was he who initiated it.

And the last time the [-] Rong army attacked Yunyan City was also his temptation.

For the past three years, he has been uniting the other three Rong royal courts, intending to fight Dali together.

It's just that the other three royal courts were extremely afraid of Dali and did not dare to unite with him, so he could only endure it.

But just half a year ago, someone suddenly helped him contact the Three Great Courts, and also sent him a large amount of supplies and food, which made him unable to bear the ambition in his heart anymore, and began to prepare a plan to invade Dali.

Up to now, the four northern royal courts have reached an alliance agreement, and he, King Wuhuan, has also become the leader of the Rong alliance.

Looking up at the densely packed soldiers on the city wall, a raging smile flashed across his dark brown pupils.

Although a fire blocked them for a day and a night, the behavior of the defenders in Yunyan City made him very excited, because it seemed to him that they were afraid of him.

At this time, on the city wall, Yu Wencheng was dressed in iron armor, standing on the city tower, staring at the approaching Rong army with sharp eyes.

All the soldiers of the frontier army around were holding their weapons tightly and staring at him.

Once an enemy climbed the wall, they would explode with a thunderous blow, killing them.

A chilling atmosphere filled the entire Yunyan City, and a dull atmosphere was suppressed in everyone's heart.

The expected attack came as expected.

With the sound of dull horns, the Rong army finally launched an attack.

The dark enemy army began to attack the city wall like a tide.

In the absence of siege equipment, they still broke out with terrifying fighting power, and climbed towards the city wall without fear of death.

Holding the phoenix wings gilded with gold in his hand, Yu Wencheng looked at the enemies who kept climbing the city wall with a cold and handsome expression on his face.

"kill!"

With his cold shout, the frontier soldiers on the city wall burst out with fiery fighting intent like a burning fire.

The tragic war was once again staged in this city that has been devastated by the years.

……

Fifty miles east of Yunyan City.

A cavalry came galloping.

"Report!"

The roar resounded through the entire cavalry team.

Bai Qi hurriedly stopped the horse, and the galloping cavalry stopped one after another.

"General Qi, the Rong army has launched an attack in Yunyan City!"

"A large number of cavalry from the Northern Rong camp are attacking the surrounding fortresses!"

"Almost all the supporting troops from all sides were intercepted by the Rong cavalry!"

The scout spoke extremely fast.

After the words fell, Bai Qi's face became extremely dignified.

If Yunyan City is in trouble, the frontier troops and guards from all sides will come to support them, but the army of the Rong tribe will obviously not stand by and watch those reinforcements coldly, they will definitely send troops to intercept them.

Bai Qi raised his head and looked in the direction of Yunyan City. They were still more than 50 miles away from Yunyan City. If they continued to move forward, they would inevitably be blocked by Rong cavalry.

And once they get into a hard fight, they won't be able to support Yunyan City.

The problem now is that the Rong army has a large number of generals, and their reinforcements are too scattered, it is difficult to gather together, and they lack a unified command.

It's not that the frontier army has no command. The northern frontier army is unified under the command of the former military governor's mansion. The former army governor's mansion has a frontier envoy in Qinzhou, which can uniformly deploy all frontier troops within Qinzhou.

But the problem now is that the Si Yamen is in Qinzhou City, and it is impossible to command in time.

At present, Bai Qi has only received a transfer order from the envoy Si Yamen to support Yunyan City, but he has not received any other orders other than the transfer order.

Bai Qi pondered for a long time and said, "Let's go north!"

All the generals around were taken aback, and asked in puzzlement, "General, why are we going north?"

Bai Qi explained: "Go directly to Yunyan City, we will definitely encounter obstacles, but they certainly don't expect us to go north."

"And as long as we bypass Yunyan Mountain from the north, we can directly attack the camp of the Rong people!"

"But we only have 5000 people!" Several generals were completely ill.

The Rong camp has 50 troops, even if some cavalry are sent out, there are at least 40 to [-].

With their [-] cavalry to attack the camp of the Rong people, isn't that hitting a stone with a pebble?
Bai Qi shook his head slightly, and said: "Our purpose is not to attack the camp of the Rong people, but to contain the army of the Rong people so that they cannot attack Yunyan City with all their strength. Although 5000 people are small, they are enough."

Naturally, it is impossible for him to hit a stone with an egg, but at present, their road to support Yunyan City has been blocked, and it is impossible to reach Yunyan City in a short time.

If you can't reach Yunyan City, you can't help Yunyan City one iota. Instead, go to the Rong camp, which will be more or less helpful.

If they could find the right opportunity, they might be able to catch the Rong army by surprise.

Not much, Bai Qi directly led the army and rushed towards the rolling mountains in the north.

……

at the same time.

In Beiyuan City.

Situ Qianfeng sat in the gorgeous lobby with a tangled expression.

Sui Yan sat aside with a serious expression.

"Uncle Yan, father hasn't left the customs yet?"

Situ Qianfeng said impatiently.

Sui Yan shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the City Lord will not leave the customs in a short time."

"But if he doesn't leave the customs, what should we do in Yunyan City?" Situ Qianfeng said eagerly.

"That's Dali's business, not ours." Sui Yan said.

"But aren't we allies with Dali?"

"Allies are also relative! This time the opinion in the city is to stand by and do nothing."

"This~~"

Situ Qianfeng's mood became more and more dull and irritable.

The news that the army of the Rong tribe attacked Yunyan City reached Beiyuan City yesterday, and Li Ru's letter also reached him early this morning.

He originally thought that Beiyuan City would send troops to support it, but now Beiyuan City has no intention of sending troops at all.

Situ Changkong retreated, and everything in Beiyuan City was in charge of the elders of the Situ family. No matter how high his status was, he, a junior, could not change the determination of the elders.

"I'm going out of town!"

"Can't!"

"Uncle Yan!" Situ Qianfeng straightened his expression and looked at him with cold eyes.

Sui Yan looked at his cold eyes and couldn't help being stunned.

"Young City Master, you can't force this matter!"

Situ Qianfeng said coldly: "You value things like face too much, but you forget the fundamentals of our Beiyuan City's survival."

Sui Yan looked at him puzzled.

"My Beiyuan City is very strong, with an army of [-]. In the Northland, even Dali Chaotang cannot survive Beiyuan City, but you seem to have forgotten that we rely on Dali to survive."

"You always think that Dali needs us, but you forget that we need Dali more."

"We didn't take part in the last battle of Yunyan City. If we still don't take part in the battle this time, are we really going to leave Dali?"

Situ Qianfeng asked.

Sui Yan's expression changed again and again, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The reason why Beiyuan City made such a decision was firstly because of the fall of Shangyuanzong, and secondly because they wanted to take advantage of Dali's weakness to show their importance.

They have always been attached to Dali, but they have never admitted that Beiyuan City belongs to Dali.

"But the Lord City Master is still retreating!" He whispered.

At this moment, a slender figure appeared outside the lobby door.

"Hehe, I'm out of customs!"

A faint laugh sounded outside the door, which immediately gave Sui Yan a jolt.

"Lord City Lord!"

"Father!"

When the two saw Situ Changkong, they both showed surprise expressions.

Situ Changkong walked into the hall, looking at Situ Qianfeng with a handsome face and a smile on his face.

At this time, Situ Changkong was over 80 years old, but his face still looked very young, and even his hair was pitch black, without any trace of aging.

"That's right, if you can see this clearly, it means that several of you have become the city lords of Beiyuan City!" Situ Changkong looked at Situ Qianfeng appreciatively.

When Situ Qianfeng suddenly heard the words of praise, he felt a little embarrassed.

You must know that Situ Changkong was very harsh on him in the past, and he almost never praised him.

"Call the army and go out!"

Situ Changkong didn't say any more, and ordered Sui Yan directly.

"Here!"

Sui Yan didn't raise any objection, and responded directly.

After that, he hurried out of the main hall.

"Father, you are going to Yunyan City!" Situ Qianfeng said in surprise and joy.

"No!"

Situ Changkong shook his head and said, "I'm going to the camp of the Rong tribe!"

"Hehe, it's been a long time since Beiyuan City went to war, and those Rong slaves almost forgot about our cruelty!"

He grinned, "This time you follow, don't cry!"

"How is it possible?" Situ Qianfeng jumped up in embarrassment when he heard this.

However, Situ Changkong ignored his anger at all, and said with a smile: "It's also time to let you know why our Beiyuan City can stand proudly above this northern land."

"We don't rely on Dali, we rely on the sword in our hands!"

"But you're right, we really can't leave Da Li."

Beiyuan City is not Dali's attachment, but a force independent of Dali. It belongs to Dali, but does not belong to Dali.
