The Dazheng border stretches four important towns, Liyang, He'an, Tifu, and Huangsha are lined up in a line to monitor the every move of the northern barbarians, because the border line is too lengthy, the four towns are far away from each other, and it takes almost a day and a night for ordinary cavalry to ride fast horses back and forth.
In addition, the rest of the military camps are scattered next to each important town, basically with 100 cavalry as a battalion, each taking care of its own area in normal times, and assembling in wartime.
Liyang Town is located at the leftmost end of the border, so there is one more war assembly point than the others, there are three, but now there are two assembly points to the west that have been occupied by the people of the Ji Chi tribe, and now the rest is only one closer to another important town, He'an City.
Liyang Town was attacked by the Jiqi tribe and suffered heavy losses, tens of thousands of troops were almost killed and wounded, and now only part of the army escaped to the third assembly point.
Now the northern border has completely sounded the horn of war, and the prince of Zhenbei led an army of 30,000 troops, and an army of 10,000 troops from He'an City has arrived at the third assembly point a few days ago.
The 40,000 Taisho Tiger and Wolf Army had already had dozens of skirmishes with tens of thousands of elite horsemen of the Ji Chi tribe, and both sides had their own victories and defeats.
At the third assembly point, the king of Zhenbei and the deputy general of the garrison of Ha'an City, as well as many of his generals, looked at the war map made of sand.
Yao Qian, the king of Zhenbei, is the oldest among the three kings with different surnames, and has served the emperor of two dynasties.
Tiger back bear waist, body is taller than ordinary people is a head, born at a glance is the appearance of a man in the army, a small pinch of gray beard on the chin, sharp eyes, this weathered old prince has fought for Taizheng all his life, and has no heirs so far, it can be said that he has dedicated his whole body to Taizheng.
Although Yao Jian is so old, his body is not like it at all, and he basically asks about everything in the army, because he is afraid that the soldiers below will be wronged.
Liyang, He'an, Tifu, and Huangsha Dead Town in the north can actually be said to be his subordinates, after all, Yao Jian was ordered to guard the northern frontier of the empire, and he was also unforgivable if something happened on the border.
Yao Jian looked at the strategies discussed by the other generals, sat on the handsome chair, and didn't talk, he was thinking about other things these days.
He already knew the reason for the fall of Liyang, and even if he was on the frontier in what happened in the capital some time ago, he basically knew all the inside information.
Although I was shocked by the methods of the Sword Tomb, I was disdainful of what the Sword Tomb was doing, and it was too whimsical to think that I wanted to disrupt the inside of Taisho in such a way.
Yao Jian didn't know what happened to the crown prince Zhao Xuanyi, otherwise maybe he wouldn't have said this, but Zhao Xuanyi is basically not known to too many people in the world, which is naturally due to the deliberate blockade of Emperor Taizheng.
"Report!"
A soldier came from outside, Yao Jian nodded, the soldier walked in and said something in his ear, Yao Qian's expression remained unchanged, he just stood up and walked out.
The people in the house didn't know what was going on, except for Lin Chong, the most brave and skilled bloody hand under Yao Qian, who noticed that the corners of the prince's eyes had changed slightly.
He has followed Yao Jian since he was a child, and it has been more than 30 years now, and Yao Jian feels that the situation is wrong even if it is just a subtle movement.
Yao Jian went out of the house, and under the leadership of this personal soldier, he met a person, the forbidden army in the palace, the commander who escorted Ling Yan and Zhao Xuanyi, this person saw Yao Jian enter the house and immediately bent down to salute, but Yao Jian interrupted him.
"I know who you are, I just want to know what about the crown prince and Ling Yan that I said before?"
The commander's face was a little hurried, but Yao Jian roared again, and the momentum that had been honed on the battlefield for decades suddenly exploded, even if Yao Jian was just an ordinary martial artist, he was a second-rate peak martial artist, but his heart trembled at the shout of the other party.
It's not that he is timid, how can he be small in the command of a hundred forbidden troops, and he was once a member of the three dozen battalions and fought in real battles.
The trembling heart was really because the old general opposite had killed too many people in his life, and the momentum on his body made him a little scared.
"Lord Bei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ling Si Ming went to the direction of Liyang without permission halfway!"
"What?"
Yao Jian was angry and angry in his heart after hearing this, those two little children are really messing around, Liyang is now all from the Ji Chi tribe, and he didn't go without permission to look for death.
Yao Jian blew his beard and glared and scolded: "Damn, these two little bastards really caused trouble for Lao Tzu as soon as they came, and you bastards, why don't you stop it."
As he spoke, he slapped the commander of the hundred cavalry forbidden army in the face, and knocked out a few teeth, but this person didn't dare to reply, the majesty of the king of Zhenbei didn't say anything about himself, even if the commander was beaten here, he could only bear it well.
"Lord Bei forgives his sins, I really can't stop it, Ling Sifang.
I didn't send anyone to follow, for fear that the target would cause unnecessary trouble. ” Yao Jian was angry, and after hearing this, he kicked him to the ground again, and said, "You fucking let them go by themselves, for fear of exposure, two people other than you will not be exposed."
The people of the Ji Chi tribe will find out at a glance that they are from the Taizheng Dynasty, where did his two rabbit cubs go and where did they leave. ” Yao Qian, who knew the route of Ling Yan and Zhao Xuanyi, and had dealt with the Ji Chi tribe and other barbarians in the north all his life, asked the bloody hand Lin Chong to call.
The weather was dry and cold now, and the temperature was much colder than in the capital, but Lin Chong was only wearing a thin cyan armor, and his arms were chained by blood-red chains.
"General?"
Lin Chong shouted that Yao Jian preferred to be called his general, and Yao Jian was also happy to do this, feeling that he was still young.
"Now, you lead your Bloodhand guards to search all the way from Tagar, find two young men, and bring them back.
The two .......
Yao Jian instructed: "In addition, this is a military order, if you die, those two people are not allowed to die, if you can't find it, you won't come back, keep looking for it."
I will have the spies outside Liyang report the situation to you immediately, and in another ten days, I will lead a large army to meet you at the Twin Eagle Cliffs in Taga, and if you don't return, then the battle will start completely. ” Lin Chong didn't have the slightest doubt, the general's order only needed to be executed, and then he glanced at the forbidden army who was so frightened that he couldn't stand a little puzzled, he had seen the forbidden army.
Since the forbidden army came to find the general, the identity of the person to be found must be a little high, but I don't know who made the general spend so much effort, and planned to completely start a war with all the tribes on this border.
He knew that His Majesty had made a decree and had to teach the Ji Chi tribe a lesson, but there were two hostile tribes in front of Liyang, and it might not be possible to eat it if they all started a war.
It's just that Lin Chong didn't ask, in the third assembly point, there were three thousand people in the Bloody Hand Army, and there were a thousand people here, and as soon as Lin Chong arrived, the one thousand Bloody Hand Army looked worshipped.
Lin Chong stepped on the war horse, holding a black gold-rimmed spear in his hand, the body of the spear has a special lock, which fits with the blood-red iron chain on his right hand, the two are connected to the spear is extremely difficult to get rid of, every time he kills the local general, Lin Chong likes to drip the blood of his head on the iron chain of his arm, and enjoys that feeling, so he has the title of a bloody hand.
When the Bloody Hand Army set off, it was already dark, and Ling Yan and Zhao Xuanyi didn't know where they had gone.
