Yuan Miaoyi was still feeling slightly uncomfortable because of what happened just now. Once she heard what Aunt Cui said, she couldn't care less about these inexplicable emotions. She frowned and said to Aunt Cui, "Talking while walking."
At this moment, Aunt Cui didn't bother to ask Yuan Miaoyi why she came back early. She followed Yuan Miaoyi and walked into the yard while saying: "The Crown Prince came back in a hurry just now. Someone handed the message to Our courtyard.”
Yuan Lingheng received an urgent call from the palace, went home, packed some things, and left. It seemed as if he would not return home for several days.
Because the news involved Xiao Yunyue, Yuan Lingheng was afraid that his sister would be worried, so he asked someone close to him to deliver the news to Yuan Miaoyi.
Although Xiao Yunyue has great military exploits, he is still young. Therefore, Emperor Jingyuan appointed Xiao Yinghuai, Duke of Dingguo, as the commander-in-chief to take command of the Chinese army's main tent.
Then he ordered Fan Yang Jiedushi and Beiding Jiedushi to mobilize the border troops in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Shanzhou to make sure that the Tatar tribe paid a bloody price for their wolf ambitions.
The Tata'er tribe may have known that Jinyun City was well prepared, so the first one to raid this time was not Jinyun City, but Shuofang City in Jizhou.
There are three or four villages gathered outside Shuofang City, unlike Jinyun City which is outside the city wall and faces the outside of the pass.
In order to prevent these villages from leaking information into the city, the Tatar tribe ordered Barron, who was the first to attack, to order his men to massacre the villages at night.
It's just that the people in the village have been facing these tribes outside the pass all year round, so it's not that they have no power to fight back from top to bottom.
The villages were connected. After receiving the news from the first village, the people in the following villages immediately made the decision to send young and strong horses to report the news to Shuofang City.
Those who stayed put up a desperate resistance and held back the advance cavalry here before the news reached Shuofang City.
After receiving the news, Shuofang City first lit up the smoke, and then immediately sent border troops to these villages to rescue people.
It's a pity that when the border troops arrived, the advance cavalry of the Tatar tribe had already discovered the smoke blazing in Shuofang City, and evacuated the place after slaughtering the entire village.
They only had time to save a few children who were hidden in a small cellar by their elders.
After seeing the smoke ignited in Shuofang City, the nearby cities of Jinyun City, Xijin City, etc. immediately entered a state of war preparation and sent fast horses to spread the news to the prefectures and counties.
The military situation was urgent, and the two places in Youzhou and Jizhou who received the news did not dare to delay. The messengers did not rest day and night, and kept passing through the inns. They killed two horses and conveyed the news to Emperor Jingyuan's desk as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, Dayan was not completely unprepared. When the news was delivered to the capital, Shuofang City had already repelled an attack by the Tatar tribe.
Although the fame of Xiao Yinghuai and Xiao Yunyue, the father and son, is widely spread outside the country, these two are not the only ones in Dayan who can go into battle.
Fan Yang Jiedushi Jiang Suichu, who was already in command of Youzhou, was also proficient in military affairs. Zhechong Prefecture Governor Zhechong Mansion, who led the border troops in Shuofang City, was a veteran who had been in battle for many years. The Tata'er tribe did not get any benefits from him.
Emperor Jingyuan's will was just to move the war from an undercurrent under the surface to officially on the surface.
Ever since Rouran was driven away and Dayan's national power gradually strengthened, the people of Dayan had not experienced such humiliation for a long time.
The tragedy outside Shuofang City reminded the people of Dayan who had been at ease for a long time. They could often hear about such tragedies in the capital when Rouran was there. The eyes of the whole country were now turned to the border areas, and the sentiment of tit-for-tat was very high among the people. .
Therefore, the previous Zhuhe faction in the court did not speak out again after Emperor Jingyuan issued the decree. After all, the Tatar tribe had already taken action first. At this time, the Zhuhe faction was not considering the overall situation, but was cowardly.
Moreover, because of the incident outside Shuofang City, the voices of the people now calling for war are extremely loud. At this time, he jumped out and asked for peace. I was afraid that if the news spread out, he would be scolded as a weakling for three generations of his ancestors.
Once the war started, everyone in the court became busy. Yuan Lingheng was now Emperor Jingyuan's loyal confidant, so naturally it was even more so. After Yi Yang, who was beside Ri Yuan Lingheng, went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to fetch Yu Fengshu back as ordered, Yu Fengshu never saw Yuan Lingheng again. During these times, Ri Yuan Lingheng either stayed at the Yamen or stayed at the Yamen. In the palace.
The same is true for Yan Xuanche. He didn't even have time to listen to what Mu Yuchu and Yuan Miaoyi said that day when his subordinates reported. He was so busy these days that he couldn't even put his feet on the ground.
Since Emperor Jing Yuan's order to mobilize troops came down, the correspondence between Yuan Miaoyi and Xiao Yunyue had stopped. She didn't want to distract Xiao Yunyue at this time.
It is not easy to know the news in the army, but just by looking at the several good news coming from the capital, we know that Xiao Yunyue must be safe at this time.
Sometimes no news can be considered good news.
In Jinyun City, Xiao Yunyue had just returned to his mansion and put the face-covered iron armor in his hand on the table.
And Nanguan behind him was also wearing light armor like him, with some blood stains on his body.
Nanguan also has a real job in the Sixteenth Cavalry of Youyun. Now that the war is over, he has naturally returned to the army.
If Xiao Yunyue in Beijing hid his blade in a sheath, then he is back to the way he used to have his blade stained with blood when he was in Youzhou.
His appearance has not changed, but his temperament has become much sharper.
When the tragedy outside Shuofang City reached Xiao Yunyue's ears, Xiao Yunyue, who had never seen such things before when Rouran was around, still felt very angry.
Just as Balexuan secretly worried after hearing about the massacre of Balielong Village that day, Dayan's revenge came soon.
Tata'er Department is not the Rouran it used to be, and Dayan is not the Dayan it was in the early years of Jingyuan.
Xiao Yunyue didn't talk nonsense to Tata'er's tribe. He led two of Youyun's sixteen cavalry and directly wiped out a small tribe that was transporting food and grass to Tata'er.
Take away whatever food and grass you can, and burn whatever you can't take away.
The ability of Youyun's Sixteenth Cavalry to hide and attack did not stop with Xiao Yunyue's absence in Youzhou. Regardless of whether they had evidence or not, the spies in Jinyun City were all taken into prisons controlled by the Sixteenth Cavalry.
Neither Balexuan, who had received any news from the city, nor Balelon, who only wanted to face the enemy head-on, expected Xiao Yunyue to suddenly make such a move.
The rangers they arranged to follow the team transporting food and grass were no match for the sixteen elitely equipped riders. When Tata'er's royal army got the news and arrived, they only saw the tribes slaughtered by the Sixteen Cavalry and the completely burned food and grass.
The Tatar tribe suffered heavy losses, and Balehong was furious. Both Balexuan and Balelong were scolded bloody in the king's tent.
Xiao Yunyue didn't care about this, he had already spoken out.
It is the duty of a person who joins the army to defend the land and the people. The blood of the people of Dayan must not be shed in vain, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood.
Tata'er massacred Dayan's entire village, and Xiao Yunyue would retaliate by massacring one of their tribes.
Tooth for tooth, blood for blood! (End of chapter)
