Chapter 64 Relief from the siege

Xuan Shaoning was satisfied and bought a full box of inkstone Mosu, as soon as he stepped into Prince Yu's mansion, he met Uncle Zhang.

"Prince Xuan, Your Highness, please go to the meeting hall for a lecture."

"Okay, I'll go now." After walking a few steps, I turned around and handed the food box to Uncle Zhang. "I'll help me keep it first." Uncle Zhang accepted it and waved his hand with a smile. Xuan Shaoning walked towards the Council Hall with his head held high.

At this moment, the meeting hall was only present in King Yu and Pei Zhenghao. Xuan Shaoning had a standard military salute. King Yu said: "I just received the imperial edict from my father and siege Fengju. I asked me to transfer Xuanjia to suppress him."

"The Donghu has always been a mob, and has been surrendering to my Daliang for a long time. I don't know who encouraged me this time?" Pei Zhenghao's tone was faint, and he didn't care much about this war.

"Don't be careless. According to the scout's return, Donghu's weapons were very exquisite this time, far from comparable before. We must not take it lightly. I decided to send Geng Yan's tribe with golden armor and Xiang Ang tribe with rust claws."

"General, the last general requests a battle!"

"This battle is to lift the siege of the seal, not to rush to the battlefield. This is why I did not send Han Dao."

"The general just said that Donghu has always been a mess. Now that they are suddenly equipped with excellent weapons to siege Fengju for no reason, they will definitely think that I, Daliang, sent troops to rescue the siege. If they use a move to siege the city and attack aid, this is the most suitable battlefield for Han Dao. In addition, the general has been to Fengju and traveled to every corner of Fengju and has a rough understanding of the habits of Donghu. The general will definitely help the army. General, the general, the general begs our school to participate in the war!"

King Yu was obviously surprised again. Xuan Shaoning's persistence in combat was obviously beyond his expectations. "Military orders are like mountains, and the Xuanjia Army will set sail tomorrow and will arrive outside Fengju City in two days. You are now in the capital. If you can lead your school to Fengju at the specified time, I will be sure!" Just as Xuan Shaoning smiled excitedly, King Yu continued, "If you can't get there, then you will delay the opportunity to fight and military law!"

"The last general will receive the order!" Xuan Shaoning shouted loudly and then left the meeting hall respectfully. Feng Feng came to his guest room and immediately packed it up. It was already packed in less than half an incense stick. He immediately walked towards the gate of the palace but was stopped by Uncle Zhang.

"Person Xuan, the food box that was stored here in the old man should be given to you."

At this moment, Xuan Shaoning remembered that Yan Mosu, who had been waiting for the whole morning, had not had time to deliver it to Master Bai Shi! Alas, this time the plan was disrupted again. Master, you must be able to understand me.

"Brother Zhang, thanks to your care these days in the palace, I am going to set out to Fengju now. The inkstone moss in this food basket has no chance to give it to anyone. If Zhang Bo doesn't dislike it, he will accept it."

"If the lieutenant Xuan is serious, the lieutenant's heart will definitely be able to understand it."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to say goodbye to my close friends one by one. I just waited for the opportunity to explain in the future. I was jogging on the horse's back, and two pictures appeared in my mind: one was the colorful fallen flowers and the other was the goose yellow. The man stepped on the stone platform, his eyes were filled with Mid-Autumn Festival; the other was the pure white in the snow, cold and bright, and the faint fragrance touched people, and his heartstrings were touching at a glance.

Since the souvenir of King Yu was sent to the Xuanjia Military Camp in Mobei, the whole camp immediately took action and prepared for war. Especially Geng Yan, who was in the golden armor, and Xiang Ang of Rusty, were making various arrangements before the war. Although this battle was not expected to be difficult, no one dared to be careless. Ling Feiyan, who was Geng Yan's army, and Gong Zhengyuan, the division under Xiang Ang, were naturally on the list of participating in the station.

Three distant and desolate horn sounds urged all the combatants to gather at the school ground. When Huo Qing left, he couldn't hide his envy and said, "You two are going to the battlefield again, you have to... be more careful!"

Shi Gong Zhengyuan hugged Huo Qing vigorously, "Don't worry, we will be fine, don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future!" Huo Qing tried hard to squeeze out a smile as an answer.

"Okay, stop wasting your time, hurry up!" Ling Feiyan did not feel Huo Qing's loss but urged him impatiently.

Seeing his classmates standing majestic in the team and going to the battlefield to establish their achievements, Huo Qing clenched his fists tightly, and his gums that he squeezed out were bulging out of his side face.

"I really want to participate in the war?" A voice suddenly came from behind. Huo Qing turned around quickly and saluted in a panic: "See Yang Duwei!"

"Don't be so nervous. I noticed you as soon as you entered the Xuan Armor. Maybe you are not as eye-catching as your classmates. But seeing your outfit is very strong. You can practice martial arts diligently and read more military books, your future is unlimited."

Huo Qing's originally cold heart was warmer now. He looked majestic on the outside but was extremely eager to gain recognition and understanding on the inside. Yang Jing's words sootheed the discomfort and loss in his heart well, and therefore his favorability arises naturally.

"Thank you, Master Yang, for your advice, I will definitely..." Before Huo Qing finished speaking, a hundred cavalry quickly stepped out of the barracks, leaving only bursts of smoke and dust.

"This is a Han Daowei. Who gave the order?" Yang Jing was obviously both confused and angry, and immediately walked quickly towards the Golden Armor Camp. Huo Qing was confused for a moment and followed him unconsciously. When he arrived at the camp, Yang Jing happened to meet the commander Ou Luyang, so he reported what he saw. Ou Luyang waved his hand and explained: "I have also received the general's order just now, and took a hundred Han Daowei cavalry to the Fengju outside the city to meet with their captain Xuan Shaoning."

"Isn't there a golden armor and rust claws to participate in the battle this time? Why... why did there suddenly a team of cold swords?" Yang Jing was obviously unwilling to understand King Yu's arrangement.

"Person Xuan made outstanding achievements several times. I heard that he volunteered in front of the general. The general admired the courage of Person Xuan, so he specially allowed Person Xuan to choose a hundred cavalry to join the war." While explaining, Ou Luyang peeked at Huo Qing not far away and continued to increase his voice. "Person Xuan is worthy of being the master of Master Bai Shi of Qingshan Academy. He is very appreciated by the general and has more opportunities to establish achievements. His future is unlimited!"

Unlimited? This word was just a few minutes ago when Yang Jing told him, but now it was said from Ou Luyang that it was used on Xuan Shaoning. Being able to get the special approval of King Yu is enough to show Xuan Shaoning's weight in King Yu's heart. Getting more opportunities means having more military merits. In the Xuanjia Army, they have always gained glory and respect for military merits. In this battle, the three of them participated in the battle, leaving only themselves... Huo Qing could not hide his resentment and turned around and left the camp. All this was seen in Ou Luyang's eyes.

At this moment, Xuan Shaoning could not fully understand Huo Qing's inner depression and entanglement, nor did he know that Shi Gong Zhengyuan and Ling Feiyan would also participate in this battle. He wholeheartedly wanted to arrive at Fengju before the deadline. All he could do was to ride his horse and leave behind bursts of smoke and dust. Yu Pian's foot strength was indeed not comparable to ordinary horses. On the third hour of Yin, eighty miles from Fengju City, the black cloud flag of the Xuanjia Army was already visible from afar.

"The entire army is stationed here, don't arouse the alertness of the Donghu army!" Geng Yan is the highest rank in the military camp, so he naturally becomes the commander-in-chief. He was discussing with his aides in the military tent but heard Menlang report to him in the future, "Report to Commander Geng, Captain Xuan has arrived!"

"Please come in!"

Geng Yan quickly walked to the door of the military tent to welcome him, which made Xuan Shaoning feel moved. "The last general will meet Commander Geng!"

"Don't care about etiquette during wartime. The general often scolds this. I heard that you volunteered for this action, but the general agreed in the end. You really have it!" Geng Yan smiled and punched Xuan Shaoning in the chest. At this time, he found that Xuan Shaoning's hair was messy, covered in dust and chapped lips. The only thing that remains unchanged is his clear and vivid eyes. "You must have rushed from the capital day and night!"

"Hehe, Commander Geng said that the last general had issued a military order in front of the general. If he could not arrive on the same day as the army, he would have to deal with it!" Xuan Shaoning licked his lips and explained in an understatement.

"Come here, prepare water and food immediately and get it to the military tent!"

Xuan Shaoning's eyes were brighter at this moment, "Commander Geng understands me!"

"If you work so hard, if I don't understand this, I'm really ashamed of the general. I won't talk anymore. We are planning how to fight this battle!"

Xuan Shaoning followed Geng Yan to the near the sand table and saw the city in the middle of the sand table at a glance. Fengju is a city built on a wasteland, surrounded by open plains that are easy to attack and difficult to defend. More than a hundred miles south of it is the northern gate of Daliang - Jingbian Pass. Once Fengju City is lost, Daliang's northern gate will face the army directly.

"According to the scout's return, the Donghu army was around 100,000, surrounded the three gates of the east, north and west respectively," Geng Yan said to all the generals: "I deliberately left the south gate to us. How to fight this battle, everyone can speak freely!"

"Leave the south gate at the south gate, there must be an ambush there, we cannot rush forward!" A young general spoke first, and his words were approved by many people in the military tent.

Xuan Shaoning asked: "Commander Geng, how are the 100,000 troops in Donghu distributed?"

"According to the scout's return, the three gates have averaged 30,000 troops stationed, and General Donghu led 10,000 people ten miles away from the South Gate." Geng Yan pointed to the sand table and said.

"So it was not just left to the South Gate, but the South Gate was left to the general to guard it himself, but the distance was a bit unexpected." Xiang Ang pointed out, "There must be a mystery in the South Gate!"

"No matter which city gate we attack, the other three troops will surely rush to help each other and surrounded us." The Rust Clerk Captain Fang Qi expressed everyone's concerns, which was the crux of the current situation.

"There will be a proposal at the end." Xuan Shaoning pondered for a while and then took the lead in breaking the silence. "Since the enemy wants to support each other, we cannot take care of each other, then we will do the opposite and use their strategies to deal with them."

"What do you mean?" Geng Yan and the generals focused their attention on Xuan Shaoning. Xuan Shaoning paused, and after he breathed himself in his heart, he said, "Commander Geng has 10,000 golden armors, and Xiang Duwei has 2,500 rust claws under his command. In addition, my school has 500 people, we are also divided into four groups."

"How can this be done?" Fang Qi did not agree.

"Listen to me to explain slowly. Since the enemy left us the South Gate, we will break through the South Gate. Our main force attacked the South Gate and divided three teams to repeatedly harass the Donghu army in the East, North and West Gate. The key point of these three troops is that they must not fight in love. Just harass them repeatedly. Once the Donghu army attacks, they immediately retreat..." Before Xuan Shaoning finished speaking, he heard a voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh, I understand! Three teams harass the enemy. When the enemy advances, we retreat. When the enemy retreats, we advance, we do not conflict head-on with the enemy, but we insist on entangling each other, making it impossible for them to support each other. In this way, the main force will have a greater grasp of the attack on the Donghu leader of the South Gate!"

After the general said excitedly, he looked at everyone present and felt embarrassed. Xuan Shaoning couldn't even look at the person in front of him: he was about the same height and age as him, with white face and no beard, small eyes and thick lips, a pair of wind-catching ears were eye-catching, his hands and feet were thick, and his chassis was very stable. There was a yellow copper ring on his right arm, and a spotted tiger was clearly engraved on it.

"Your kid's sudden problem is probably not able to be changed!" Geng Yan said pretending to be angry.

"Commander, the last general made a mistake. Please punish him!" The young general was helped up by Xiang Ang as soon as he was about to kneel on one knee.

"Come on, Siheng, I use the same trick every time. Either we are stupid or you are stupid!"

Sure enough, the general named Siheng stood up and scratched the back of his head with his hands, grinned and laughed: "Next time, the general... the general will change his position." The whole audience burst into laughter, and Xuan Shaoning also had an impression of this young general.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Do you have any objections to the proposal of Captain Xuan?" Geng Yan agreed in his heart, but he still had to listen to different opinions as much as possible. Fortunately, everyone thought that he could not come up with a better idea than this at this time. "Then let's make detailed combat deployment. We divided three divisions into three divisions that were guarded by the enemy, the Centurion of Si, Captain Xuan, and the two divisions of Xiang Ang's cavalry to attack the South Gate."

"Wait!" Before the generals received the order, Xuan Shaoning made a statement to stop him. "Commander Geng, there must be ambushing troops in the south gate. Although we send cavalry to charge at the fastest speed, we must not ignore the ten thousand Donghu troops. The last general is willing to lead our school to detour to the rear of the Donghu army to launch an attack, so that they can't take care of themselves and cannot help the ambush troops in the south gate."

"You only have 500 people to deal with 10,000 Donghu Army. Do you know the consequences when you take this risk?" Geng Yan asked seriously: "The previous battles show your courage. The Donghu Army is not a strong army, but we must not show off. We must put the overall situation first!"

"Don't worry, the commander, the general knows the importance of the matter. This request is definitely not a personal act of strength. Donghu has always been distorted. Once the central army is attacked, other troops will retreat." Xuan Shaoning expressed his plans, Geng Yan nodded and promised, but said one more word, "Be careful."

The Xuanjia Army secretly held a pre-war deployment meeting fifty miles outside Fengju City. It was already evening. Geng Yan did not allow the entire army to bury the pot and cook rice, but instead used cold dried meat and cold water to fill the hunger, and then immediately repaired it on the spot without making any noise until midnight when the moon was on the treetops. With the moonlight, the three troops rushed toward three different directions. The wind in the midnight wasteland was astonishingly loud, and it was this wind that drowned the sound of galloping horse hooves.

A few hours later, a red sun had just slowly risen from the sky. The leader of the Donghu military camp, Shi Mingyu, walked out of the tent and stretched his waist. His lush hair was firmly combed behind his head. A circle of thick beards perfectly divided the round face and neck. Under his thick brown eyebrows were a pair of huge blue eyes unique to the Donghu people. Under his high nose bridge was paired with purple-red thick lips. His curly beard and thick limbs were assembled on his huge body. His fur coat tightly stretched out muscles like stones, and he wore a five-foot-long scimitar around his waist. When Shi Mingyu looked at Fengjucheng not far away, he sprayed a word from the tip of his nose, "Huh!"

"Mr. Yeba Nashi!" The body of the visitor was more burly than that of Shi Mingyu. A pair of unicorn arms were exposed, and the two-headed snake tattoos on it were lifelike; a copper-yellow collar was worn between the neck; two large copper-yellow earrings were hung on both sides of the head; only a red hair from the forehead to the back of the head was left on the top of the head, and the rest were bare scalp; as for facial features, they were not much different from this Shi Mingyu, and they also had the characteristics of a rough grassland man, with a fierce look on their faces, which made people unable to hide.

"Master Dumo!" Shi Mingyu smiled on his face, "Master got up so early."

"Xiao Le received the news that Daliang had sent the Xuanjia Army to unseal the encirclement of the seal." Du Mo's voice was sharp and harsh, and it looked extremely strange when combined with his physique.

"This is what I expected. The master was too worried. To put it in one sentence, he was waiting for the rabbit."

"Yesterday, the Xuanjia Army had reached the boundary of the wasteland, and today I'm afraid I'll reach our ambush circle."

"Oh? That's a great thing, so please ask the master to sit in with me and watch the show!"

"Mr. Yaba should not be too optimistic. The reputation of Xuanjia Army is not false. The Donghu Army should prepare early."

"Since Xiliang was pulled out by the Xuanjia Army, he has been a lot of restricted in his work!" Shi Mingyu's words made Du Mo raise his eyebrows, but he pretended not to see "My Donghu is no longer the mob who used to swallow his anger and let Daliang bully him. Now that we have excellent weapons, we are no longer afraid of competing with Daliang's army!"

"Weapons alone are far from enough..." Before I could finish speaking, I heard the shrill oxen horn spreading over the wasteland.
