Chapter 381: Assassination

The next day, Chao Yong left Lin Chong's 10,000 troops to garrison Jingzhao Mansion and led 40,000 troops to Pizhou.

After entering Pizhou, there were still more sentry scouts in the army galloping back and forth, after all, they had entered the territory of unknown friends and enemies.

Pizhou did not return to the Great Liang, but under the coordination of the old man, he also agreed to borrow the road to let the grain and grass of the Great Liang be transported to Weizhou through the Jingshui flowing through Pizhou.

When passing through Pizhou, Chao Yong originally wanted to visit the governor of Pizhou, but Pizhou closed the city gate, looking afraid of the sneak attack of the Liang's soldiers and horses, and Chao Yong had to give up this idea.

After Pizhou, and then through Jingzhou, it will arrive at the territory of Weizhou.

Jingzhou is the traditional sphere of influence of the generals, and it has been subordinated to the Great Liang, and when the army arrived in Jingzhou, the governor of Jingzhou came out early.

The governor of Jingzhou handed over to Chao Yong a handwritten letter from the old breed.

Chao Yong did not rest in Jingzhou, and came to Weizhou with a large army.

Ten miles outside the city of Weizhou, the old man with white hair stood at the front, on the left was Lu Zhishen and other Liang generals, and on the right were all fans, all of them had dark complexions and unruly faces.

Finally, Chao Yong, dressed in gold armor, appeared in the distance, and under the sunlight, it was even more impossible to look at directly.

Seed Master Dao was also relieved to see the heroic Chao Yong appear.

In January, Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road were all lost. It took decades to open up this thousand-mile territory, and countless Northwest athletes lost their lives for it, and they lost it in one month.

The culprit is Da Liang, but the seed master does not hate Da Liang. Because he knew that without the girders, all this would happen, it was just a matter of time.

Tong Guan has continuously used troops against Western Xia for more than ten years, and has also achieved great results. The Hengshan region was completely taken so that Western Xia could not invade from the east. In the west, Qingtang Prefecture was also laid, and it was only two hundred miles away from Qinghai Lake.

The stone castle city captured by Ge Shuhan, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in the past, is also there. It can be said that the western territory of the Song Dynasty is completely comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty, but the northern part is not as large as the Tang Dynasty.

"The Big Dipper is high. Geshu carries a knife at night. So far, I don't dare to look at the herding horses."

The Western Army can also proudly say that the Fan people dare not pass Lintao.

But the price of this series of results is that most of the main force of the Western Army was defeated, especially in the first year of Xuanhe, the 100,000 elite army led by Liu Fa was annihilated, and most of the remaining elites of the Western Army were lost.

Lao Chong knew the situation of the Western Army, so he resolutely opposed the attack on Liao by Lianjin. When he wrote the book, he said, "Invite thieves to divide their neighbors", and thieves have come to the neighbor's house, and we have formed an alliance with the thieves to divide the neighbors.

The reason is not this. Military generals have the desire to expand their territory, as long as the conditions permit, every military general will want to expand their territory, and then pay homage to the prime minister. This is the day they pick up their knives and guns, and they bury their wishes in their bones. However, most of the elite of the Western Army has been lost, and Lianjin will attack Liao, needless to say, it will lead wolves into the house in the future, and it is difficult to say whether it can defeat Liao.

The national strength of the Western Xia has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and if the few remaining veterans of the Western Army are lost in the Liao State. I am afraid that the achievements made in the northwest over the years will soon be taken back by Western Xia.

Therefore, the old breed is slightly more public, and resolutely opposes the attack on Liao.

In fact, the historical facts are also the same, Tong Guan has been using troops in the northwest for more than ten years, and the Western army has suffered heavy casualties. Then he went to exterminate Fang La, and lost a batch of elites. That's why when attacking Liao. Defeated by the remnants of the Liao army. This was even more true of the war against the Jin State at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the legendary Western Army encountered the Jin State, which was almost a one-sided situation. Could it be that the Western Army is a paper tiger, in vain? No. The Jin State did not achieve any victories against the Western Xia soldiers and horses, but had to cede part of the territory of the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty to the Western Xia. Let the Western Xia contain the remaining Western army. However, the Western Army took Hengshan from the hands of the Western Xia, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is still very strong, but when the Western Army was at its weakest, the Jin soldiers went south, so the Western Army did not keep the Northern Song Dynasty. Another evidence is that the outstanding generals of the Southern Song Dynasty resisting the Jin soldiers were basically from the Western Army. Is it because they are better than the blue? It can't be said that Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi, among the four generals of Zhongxing, have all joined the army for many years, and they have also participated in the war against Western Xia, but they did not show a bright light. The Western Army was originally very strong in combat, and as long as the Western Army was relieved, the Western Army would show their strong combat effectiveness.

In the opinion of the old minister, the loss of the results of the Western Army was a matter of time. He didn't hate Da Liang, but he was still very sad to see his ancestors bleeding out and losing the city.

The originally straight waist board has also been bent, and he has been racking his brains to think about countermeasures these days. finally let him come up with a plan, a plan that could repel Western Xia and deter the Fanren, and the protagonist of the plan was the crown prince Chao Yong. The success rate of his plan is still very high, and once it succeeds, it can completely solve the problem of the Fanren, and even encompass the territory further west.

Although the Seed Master Dao is over 70 years old, when Chao Yong first saw the Seed Master Dao, the Seed Master Dao was still in good spirits and had a hard waist. I didn't expect to see him for more than a month, and the seed master Dao had the appearance of dying old age.

Chao Yong saw the appearance of the seed master, and couldn't help but want to get off the horse to greet him.

Seeing Chao Yong's movements, the seed master Dao hurriedly shook his head slightly, and preemptively said, "Meet the prince." ”

Lu Zhishen and others in the back also followed the salute together, and the people next to him also gossiped and saluted in a strange manner.

Chao Yong was unusual, sat on the horse, and said majestically: "No courtesy, let's go into the city." ”

When the planter heard this, he hurriedly stepped aside and made way for the prince.

The people retreated to the side of the road, but they looked curiously at the prince who said that "the gods descended to earth".

Sitting on the jade lion of the night that is more than eight feet high from the hoof to the ridge, Chao Yong is even more tall and mighty. The sunlight reflected on the golden armor made it impossible for people near to look at it directly.

Therefore, wherever Chao Yong went, all the people on the side of the road bowed their heads.

When Chao Yong passed, the seed master Dao led a group of Liang generals and Fanren tribal leaders to follow back to the city.

When he was still five miles away from the city, an arrow suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance, and a sharp whistle suddenly pierced the sky.

Everyone saw that this arrow was coming strangely, and they couldn't help but be vigilant.

The seed master Dao also said to Chao Yong: "The prince is careful. ”

"Bang"

"Bang"

As soon as the words of the seed master fell, five or six zhang away from the roadside, a piece of ground suddenly lifted, five people jumped out of it, and the strong crossbow in their hands was aimed at Chao Yong, who was in the lead, and five sharp arrows were shot at Chao Yong. Then the five of them rushed towards Chao Yong with sharp blades.

It was the way the dead men did, no matter what, they couldn't escape, so they didn't want to run away, they rushed straight over, and if the crossbow didn't shoot the target, then they could also kill the target before the guards reacted.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be anxious.

Five strong crossbows at close range, no one can dodge. Moreover, the strong crossbow of Western Xia was very powerful at close range, and the distance of five or six zhang was enough to shoot through any strong armor.

"Ahh

Seed Master Dao screamed in despair, but he didn't expect that his plan would fail before it could be implemented. Damn the Western Xia dead soldiers, damn the soldiers, they obviously asked them to carefully check the roads along the way, in case the Western Xia dead soldiers assassinated the prince.

It always takes a while for the Tangut people to dig a pit and hide there, and the soil they dig out always has to find a place to throw it, which are all flaws that can be found, these damn soldiers. If the crown prince dies, don't think about it.

Just when everyone thought that the crown prince could not be spared, Chao Yong sneered, inserted his right hand into the deerskin glove on the saddle, and grabbed the five crossbow arrows in his hand with a copy in the air.

After he heard Ren Liang talk about the death of the Western Xia, he has been on guard, although he has been safe and sound all the way, but Chao Yong is more careful.

The place closest to the end of the line will also be the least vigilant, and it is also the place where many killers will start, so Chao Yong specially prepared this pair of gloves, just to wait for the stupid Xixia people to send him to the door to let him stand up.

Chao Yong looked at the five people who had already pounced in front of him, and with a wave of his arm, five arrows flew out, hitting three of them.

The three people who were hit by the arrow immediately turned over and fell to the ground, their faces turned blue, and it was obvious that the crossbow arrows were highly poisonous. (To be continued......)
