Chapter 265: Departure

On the sixth day of October, it is the auspicious time for the princess to get married, from the early morning, the ancient capital of Luoyang is empty, crowded on both sides of the street that the city must pass through waiting for the princess's convoy, there are already royal forest troops starting from the palace, standing in two rows along the street, clearing the streets, and blocking the people on the side of the road.

The specifications of the marriage in Allure are unprecedented, the Emperor of the Apocalypse personally sent out of the palace gate, and the old and strong King Han was appointed as the envoy of the family, but the Li family was the second Li Huizhi, but Li Qing's parents and parents could not go, and there was no reason for Lao Tzu to send his son as a send-off, so he could only represent Li Qing in front of the palace gate to thank Tian'en, An Guogong smiled and watched Allure and the Emperor of the Apocalypse shed tears and said goodbye, and boarded the huge phoenix.

In the sound of golden drums, the huge team began to start slowly, the people of Luoyang were full of eyes, the front team of the head went out of Luoyang City, and the broken team was still ready to go on the huge square in front of the palace.

The civil and military officials sent their relatives to the gate of the ancient capital of Luoyang, standing on the high city wall, watching the convoy go out of the city, Xiao Haoran, the Duke of Qi, smiled with a smile on his face, and smiled at Li Huaiyuan, the Duke of Anguo: "Duke Li, the holy family of the Li family is thick, and the princess of the city has to be married, which is really gratifying, and today I am going to disturb a cup of wine." ”

Li Huaiyuan laughed, "That's natural, the house has already prepared a banquet, if an old man is not drunk today, it is really a great joy to be drunk with Qi Guogong, please, please!" ”

In the Weiyuan Waiting Mansion, the banquet has already been prepared, and the civil and military officials who have sent off their relatives have to prepare a gift to join in the fun, and when the convoy disappeared in the eyes of everyone, it was already past the meal, and the hungry officials went to the Weiyuan Waiting Mansion in groups of three or five.

Wen watched the convoy disappear with tears in his eyes, the joy of his son's wedding, but he couldn't sit on the main seat, let his son and daughter-in-law give a bowl of tea, and couldn't help but feel very sad in his heart, seeing Wen's face, Li Muzhi understood his meaning, Wen Yan explained: "The war in Dingzhou is at a critical moment, and when this battle passes, Qing'er will always go home, then it is natural to make up for this lesson, let's go, hurry home, today there are not only hundreds of civil and military officials who have come to He, but also a lot of family members, you still have to entertain them, crying with red and swollen eyes, how to see people?" ”

Since the Luoyang murder, although Qiu has not been suspended, he has also been placed under house arrest in disguise.

Luoyang side of the princess out of the door, Dingzhou here is much calmer, Li Qing's eyes are now looking at the Jingling camp, after entering October, the intensity of the war between the two sides has begun to slowly escalate, knowing that the form is critical, Na Ben saw that the Jingling camp on the opposite side of the soldiers and horses gathered more and more, and the grain and grass materials were piled up like a mountain, while the logistics burden on his side was gradually drying up, and the support in the grassland was getting less and less. If it drags on like this, once it is winter, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it.

Gotta fight! The best result is, of course, to defeat Wang Qinian on the opposite side, even if he can't win, he has to think of withdrawing his troops, and the longer the confrontation here, the more unfavorable it will be for his side.

Wang Qinian also wanted to try to attack, after a few months of confrontation, the soldiers were a little slack, and they must keep their morale at their peak, and the best way to maintain morale is, of course, to fight a few battles with the other side, of course, the scale should be limited, and slowly wear down the opponent's strength.

The generals of the two sides have the same thoughts, and the dozens of miles of grassland between the Jingling camp and the Hongshi Valley camp in Naben have become a gladiatorial arena for the two sides to compete. Naben gave up the idea of letting the soldiers of those small tribes rush up first, and directly sent the most elite Long Xiao under his command, the morale of the grassland army can no longer withstand any blows, and only Long Xiao can not fall behind under the attack of the other party, and even take advantage of it, at this time, if these small tribes are used as cannon fodder, I am afraid that these small tribes will be scattered with a bang.

The combat power of the Long Xiao army is indeed stronger than the combat effectiveness of the Qi Nian division, in the initial battle, the Long Xiao army took advantage of it, and in the suppression of small forces, it was always able to successfully defeat the Qi Nian division, until the number of the warring parties began to rise to about 1,000 people, and when the Qi Nian division began to use foot soldiers to suppress the cavalry, the two sides began to stalemate.

Although the small victories continue, but Naben is a day of better than a day of distress, entrenched on one side of the Dingzhou whirlwind battalion has been spitting poisonous snake letters, so that when he faces the Jingling camp, he also scored an eye to stare at the opponent, the cavalry of the whirlwind battalion is the most feared force of Naben, this army is extremely strong, all the cavalry are equipped with both sides, a pack horse, a war horse, long-distance combat ability, compared to Long Xiao is not much better, Naben wants to get out, even if he defeats Wang Qinian's department, how to get rid of the whirlwind camp, is also a big problem. Most of the Qi Nian Division are foot soldiers, if you find the right time, it will not be difficult to get out of the battlefield, but before that, you must deal with the Whirlwind Battalion.

Naben had a crazy plan in his chest.

Dingzhou, Li Qing and Shang Haibo were pulled out by Lu Yiming to inspect the new Zhenxi Houfu that was close to completion, and named Li Qing as the captain of the horse, the holy decree of Zhenxi Hou has arrived in Dingzhou in advance, and the new Zhenxi Houfu is built on the basis of the original Marshal's Mansion, because the princess has lived in a metropolis like the ancient capital of Luoyang, so the pattern of Zhenxi Houfu inevitably has to take care of the princess's habits, and the craftsmen who came from Luoyang brought the drawings, Li Qing only glanced at it, It is clear that this Dingzhou will have another huge building in the style of Jiangnan garden from now on.

Hundreds of households moved, and in addition to this town Xihou Mansion, a new street was built next to the Zhenxi Houfu to house the families of the 1,500 palace guards who came to Dingzhou with the princess, and this street was called Princess Fang. After the completion of all the projects, it is estimated that nearly 500,000 taels of silver will be used, which makes Li Qing really painful. With so much money to build this, you might as well build more weapons! But he has no choice, the royal family always wants to be decent, even the Li family, and he also wants to be decent. Li Qing could only grit his teeth and take out this money.

Following Lu Yiming, Li Qing's mind was not on this at all, and he said to Shang Haibo beside him: "Mr. Shang, have you noticed the movements of the Jingling camp during this period of time?" Shang Haibo smiled: "Of course, Naben is in a hurry, and I want to run!" ”

"If he wants to run, he must pay attention to the whirlwind camp, otherwise he won't be able to run far, and he will be entangled in the whirlwind camp, and then Wang Qinian's department will follow, and he will be in the same situation as he is now."

"Yes, the whirlwind camp is the biggest obstacle he wants to run, Dashuai, it is necessary to remind Wang Qinian and Jiang Kui, Naben is already about to jump off the wall in a hurry."

"No need!" Li Qing said with a smile: "The last time I went to Jingling Camp to inspect, Wang Qinian had already thought of this problem and put forward an idea for me. ”

"Wang Qinian wants to plan and solve Naben in a war?" Shang Haibo said with a smile.

Li Qing nodded, "A few years have passed, and the beard has finally grown slowly from a small soldier, and now he really has the ability to command the army. ”

"Yes, Marshal, the war with the barbarians has reached the last moment, and when the overall situation has been decided, you might as well let these generals hone it, which will be of great help in the future, and the situation they encounter in the future will be much more complicated than today." Shang Haibo's eyes looked to the east.

Li Qing smiled slightly and did not make a sound. According to the information sent back by the spies of the Statistical Survey Department in Beijing, I am afraid that the drastic change will be imminent, "Mess up, chaos will have a chance!" Li Qing said in his heart.

The large-scale attack launched by Naben in the Jingling camp has lasted for three days, and the offensive is becoming more and more fierce day by day, and the two guard battalions of the Jingling camp have been abandoned one after another, and all the soldiers and horses have withdrawn to the main camp. On the battlefield between the two armies, corpses were everywhere, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

"It's almost time!" Wang Qinian stood at the top of the Jingling camp, looking at the Naben Department that was reorganizing the team in the distance, and behind him, Wei Xin, Guan Xinglong and other generals gathered around him.

"General Wei Xin, after we leave, can you hold the camp?" Wang Qinian's gaze turned to Wei Xin, who was stroking his goatee.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, as long as you give me 5,000 men and horses, with the sturdiness and sufficient reserves of the Jingling camp, Naben Na Turtle Son will not want to take advantage of me!" Wei Xin said proudly.

Everyone laughed, Wei Xin was known as the master of the turtle stream, defense was what he was best at, and there was really no one present who could compare with him in defense.

"Okay, I'll give you 10,000!" Wang Qinian said with a smile. "Naben wants a strong man to break his wrist, and we keep asking for his wrist, and even his people have to stay."

"Here we go again!" Guan Xinglong pointed not far away, and the barbarian army roared and rushed again.

Another two days have passed, the war in the Jingling camp has reached a white-hot stage, the two sides are fighting for every position, it is night, but Naben still has no intention of retreating, thousands of torches will illuminate the heaven and the earth, Wei Xin stood on the command platform of the camp, smiled left and right and said: "The puppy is going to do it today, tell the brothers, withstand this wave, the barbarians will be finished!" At that time, there were only more than 10,000 people left in the Jingling battalion, and the rest of the army was secretly transferred out of the camp by Wang Qinian one after another in a few days.

Li Shengzhi, the general under Wei Xin's command, regretfully slammed the bloody iron spear on the ground, "It's a pity, we are nailed here, watching other people eat meat, we can only drink a little soup and water!" ”

Wei Xin laughed, "Don't be dissatisfied, you kid, after this battle, the first credit will definitely be ours." ”

As he spoke, the barbarians attacked again. "Up!" Wei Xin shouted angrily.

Li Shengzhi roared wildly and led the soldiers to rush forward.

In the middle of the night, the intensity of the barbarian army's attack became weaker and weaker, and finally after a charge, the flag died down.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, it looks like it!" Wei Xin sneered, "After every attack, we secretly take away a troop, if I hadn't expected it in advance, it would really seem that Li Shengzhi, opposite us, at this time, there would only be an empty shell left!" ”

Li Shengzhi's eyes lit up, "General Wei, let's go out and kill him!" ”

Wei Xin's eyes glared, "it, if you go out and do it, this matter will be exposed, Naben is not a pig, General Wang has waited for Naben for a few days, let your kid spoil a good thing, it's strange if you don't peel your skin!" ”

Li Shengzhi smiled. "It's always uncomfortable to look at the meat in your mouth and not eat it."

"Bear with me, it won't be long before we can do it here, but there are some old and weak soldiers left on the other side, which really doesn't mean much!"
