Nightwatcher Chapter 695

Published at 21st of April 2023 06:34:19 AM

The flying horse of Gu nationality carrying Dafeng banner... The officials and staff in the hall were at a loss, unable to connect Dafeng banner with Gu nationality for a moment.

Huh? Flying bike?

The next moment, everyone has caught the key point, looking at Yang Gong.

"Clear the blade and let him in."

Yang Gong pondered for a moment and said slowly.

A quarter of an hour later, the guard of the chief envoy took them into the hall.

Yang Gong, Li mubai and his staff looked at the visitor with a scanning eye...

On the left is a southern Xinjiang man with dark complexion, light blue eyes and naturally curly hair. His clothes and explosive muscles make him look wild.

But those light blue eyes are full of wisdom.

Yang Gong, as the highest consul of a state, keeps his dignity and looks at the soldiers around Tamo.

Xu Erlang's deputy general.

Gu Qi immediately understood the inquiry eyes of the buzhengshi and bowed to his body with his fist:

"Gu Qi, a humble officer, is the Deputy General of Xu new year."

After a pause, Yang Gong nodded his head, and he continued:

"this is Tamo from the heart of the Gu clan. He is the commander of the flying beast army and the reinforcements invited by Xu Yinluo."

Li mubai and his staff swore that this sentence was the most pleasant and beautiful sound they had heard in the past ten days.

When did Xu Yinluo go to the Gu nationality in southern Xinjiang? Also invited the flying beast army of Gu clan?

In addition, how many flying beast troops are there, where are they, and what is their combat capability? They have a series of questions to ask, but before Yang Gong opens his mouth, they all restrain their impulse.

However, the heart is quietly hot up.

...... Yang Gong straightened his back slightly and fixed his eyes on Gu Qi:

"why did the flying beast army of Gu clan come with you?"

He asked the staff about their doubts.

Gu Qidao:

"at the order of Xu Yinluo, the warriors of Xingu came to Songshan County for rescue and helped the garrison beat back the enemy."

As he spoke, he took out the letter from his arms:

"it's based on Mr. Xu's handwriting."

The clerk took the handwritten letter and handed it to Yang Gong respectfully. After reading it, Yang Gong nodded to his staff.

Songshan county has been preserved....

it's another wonderful saying. The staff were surprised and looked at each other, conveying excitement and joy.

At this time, Tamo took out a handwritten note from his arms and said:

"this is Xu Yinluo's handwritten note. Let me hand it over to Yang Buzheng after I get to Qingzhou."

This time, Yang Gong raised his hand directly and took a picture of the calligraphy in the air, some of which could not wait to unfold.

Different from the neat and elegant handwriting of Xu Xinnian, the handwriting of Xu Ningyan is distorted and ugly, and the font seems to be forced together by strokes.

Yes, it's Ning Yan's word... Yang Gong believed it all at once, no doubt.

It's not that no one can imitate Xu Ningyan's handwriting, but Xu Ningyan's calligraphy is extremely rare. Nowadays, except Yunlu academy and Xu Fu in the capital, there are almost no Xu Ningyan's handwriting in Kyushu.

Xu Ningyan is a respectable person, so he cherishes his calligraphy and never spreads it.

So even if someone wants to imitate, there is no sample.

Yang Gong looks down. In the first half, Xu Ningyan talks about his fighting with scholars in southern Xinjiang, persuading the Gu clan with unparalleled eloquence, influencing the Gu clan with noble sentiment, and finally letting the Gu clan clear up their past grudges and send troops north to support Dafeng.

Yang Gong believes that there may be eloquence, but his sentiment needs to be questioned.

Further down is the number of troops sent by each department.

When Yang Gong saw the first line, he was stunned.

He suspected that Xu Ningyan had made a mistake. In the battle of Shanhaiguan, the number of flying beasts in Dafeng was only 1500.

Within a few years after the end of the Shanhaiguan campaign, the imperial court semi demobilized the flying beast camp and sold a large number of red tailed fierce eagles.

Why? Because I can't afford it.

If the heavy cavalry eats silver, then the flying beast army eats gold.

What is the concept of five hundred flying beast army? I'm afraid it accounts for half of the flying beast army of the heart poison department.

If you continue to look down, there are 400 soldiers in the Department of Li Gu, 600 corpse controllers in the Department of corpse Gu, and 800 elite soldiers in the Department of shadow. If you add 500 flying beast troops, Yang Gong is deeply surprised and worried. The surprise is because these elite soldiers of Gu clan can undoubtedly ease the current decline of Qingzhou army.

Yang Buzheng worried that Xu Qian would make a promise that the court could not accept.

He frowned and looked at the end of the handwriting, which was Xu Ningyan's promise to Gu clan.Yang Gong once again suspects that Xu Ningyan is wrong.

I just thought there were too many flying beasts, but now I think the price is too small.

It's too cheap....

Yang Gong's back is straightening and straightening unconsciously. He is still dignified and rigid, but his eyes have become very bright.

He quietly put away the calligraphy and gazed at Tamo:

"has the leader of the heart poison Department read the contents of the calligraphy?"

Tamo didn't understand why he asked. After thinking about it, he understood it again and nodded calmly:

"Yang Buzheng assured me that the contents in his handwriting were correct."

The intelligence quotient of Xin Gu masters is generally above the standard, which is the reason why Xu Qi'an gave them the calligraphy.

I'm afraid I would respond like this: "how do I know?"

Or can only say: "I am the same!"

Tamo continued:

"I hope that Ambassador Yang Buzheng will write to the imperial court as soon as possible to confirm this matter."

Yang Gong nodded:

"I understand that commander Tamo has come from a long way, and the journey is very tiring. I will arrange you to go down and have a rest first, and then have a good dinner for him in the evening."

Let people take Tamo down to arrange residence, Yang Gong slowly breathed out a breath, his eyes turned to the staff at the table.

These staff, who are proficient in various fields and have read a lot of poetry, can't wait.

"What does Ning Yan's handwriting say? How many flying beasts are there?"

Li mubai asked questions on behalf of the public.

Yang Gong showed a smile: "five hundred."

"Five hundred?"

Exclamation sounded at the table, and the busy officials in the distance also stopped their work one after another and looked at it in amazement.

"Show me."

Li mubai held out his hand and said in a deep voice, "come on!"

The letter in Yang Gong's hand suddenly disappears and appears in Li mubai's hand. He starts to read the letter and looks at it. His breath is a little short. His hand holding the letter also shakes a few times, but he soon recovers.

The letters were circulated among the staff. The hands holding the letters were shaking, and the faces were excited and excited.

The arrival of Gu elite is like a timely rain for Qingzhou at this time.

Watering dry battlefields everywhere.

"Just because of these costs, so many Gu elites are invited. Xu Yinluo's noble sentiment can even move Gu people."

An aide must praise.

Naivety..... Li mubai and Yang Gong looked at him, and the latter said in a slow voice:

"there may be a price that we didn't know before. Ning Yan will pay for it."

The atmosphere around the table eased, and the staff laughed and said: "I don't know when Xu Yinluo will be able to deal with the affairs in southern Xinjiang. If he can come to Qingzhou, the rebels will never die."

"Although he is not on the battlefield, he still cares about Qingzhou, doesn't he?"

Speaking of that famous Wufu, even if all of you are scholars, you can only respect him in your heart. We should know that the literati despise the vulgar martial arts most.

"Now look again, I still have to thank Duke Wei. He allowed Dafeng's Zhenguo pillar to continue triumphantly and did not collapse because of his sacrifice."

Da Feng lost Wei Yuan, but with Xu Qi'an, the inheritance is still immortal.

Li mubai frowned and snorted:

"Ningyan is worthy of my students. It's a perfect combination of vertical and horizontal skills. It's not a waste of my years of teaching."

Xu would rather be his nominal student.

Yang Gong looked at his classmate friend with a blank face and said, "yes, I'm very satisfied with Xu Ningyan. I've never insulted him for his years of teaching."

The two great Confucians of Yunlu academy looked at each other as if there were sparks in the air.

Two days later, ten miles away from Wan County, the headquarters of Yunzhou army.

Eight flaming birds came from the sky, skimmed over a tent and landed on the northwest side of the barracks.

At this time, Qi Guangbo was making a sand table deduction with counselors and battalion generals.

"If we attack Wan county with our troops, we can win it in ten days, but there is a great scholar Zhang Shen in Wan County, who is majoring in the art of war. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we'll lose the elite of our army. "

Ge Wenxuan looked at the sand table and analyzed it.

Seeing that the generals of the battalions around him were frowning, he said in a deep voice:

"as I said before, the most important thing in fighting Qingzhou is stability, not speed. The faster you play, the faster you break. There were few elite troops left when we couldn't reach the capital.

"So the best way to deal with Wan county is to encircle but not attack, and to die slowly. If the Qingzhou army comes to support, we will eat it. Eat as much as you can

A square faced general shook his head:

"the premise of blunt knife is that Songshan county can take it down. Only by eating Songshan county and Dongling can the Qingzhou army do its best to stabilize Wan county."Otherwise, they can take Songshan County as a stronghold and send troops to join the garrison of Dongling and eat Ji Xuan's troops. In this way, Wan county has become a hard stone to hold down the main force of our army. "

Qi Guangbo, commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, finally said:

"does Zhuo Haoran have information to send back?"

A few days ago, Zhuo Haoran sent back an urgent report that his 6000 elite soldiers met with the garrison in Songshan county. They resisted tenaciously and asked for reinforcements.

Qi Guangbo sent 40 cavalry troops to help as fast as he could.

In principle, it's time for Songshan county to win.

"This new year's event surprised the general. Although Zhuo Haoran was not good at attacking cities, his 6000 elite soldiers were brave and good at fighting. It was not easy for a young man who was weak in the year to do so."

Qi Guangbo said with a smile: "he is a general."

Just as he was saying that, the sound of running footsteps stopped outside the military account. Qi Guangbo looked out at the open account, looked at a man's death from far and near, and said:

"what's the matter?"

The taxi driver was informed and said in a loud voice:

"the rosefinch army has returned to the barracks and brought back information. Six thousand elite soldiers in Songshan county have been destroyed. Zhuo Haoran fled and disappeared. The red finch army has forty horses, but only eight

While talking, I read the information book on the ground.

In the army tent, the generals' faces changed.

Qi Guangbo narrowed his eyes, and his expression became a little deep. He strode forward, took the information book in the soldier's hand, and began to read it.

"General?"

Ge Wenxuan called in a low voice.

Qi Guangbo passed the information in his hand without any expression.

Ge Wenxuan was silent after reading it.

Intelligence spread among the generals of the battalions. In silence, someone finally gritted his teeth and said, "the Gu clan and Dafeng have formed an alliance."

Ge Wenxuan returned to the barracks a while ago and told them that the alliance with the Gu clan had failed. After that, Yunzhou military leaders had a bad feeling.

All the generals looked at Qi Guangbo one after another.

The supreme commander of Yunzhou army was silent for a long time and said, "interesting."

That's what he said when he joined the army for the first time. And Xu Pingfeng sand table deduction, said these two words.

In Dongling, the South Gate collapsed into ruins.

At the beginning, Dafeng Garrison and Yunzhou Army started street fighting in the city, and the fire burned every inch of the city.

After six days of street fighting, the city's population has halved.

Some people escaped from Dongling, some were forced into the army by Yunzhou army or Dafeng army, and some died in the war.

After that, Dafeng garrison withdrew from Dongling and started a field battle with Yunzhou army.

The war in the city subsided, but then came the plunder of Yunzhou army, and all the money, food and beautiful women in the people's families were robbed.

In a well preserved courtyard, Xu Pingfeng coughed pale and his palms were bleeding.

The Bodhisattva sat on the futon, and the temperature in the courtyard was as hot as midsummer because of his existence.

"I haven't been hurt so badly for many years. The teacher is still a teacher."

Although he was seriously injured, Xu Pingfeng had a smile in his eyes.

He immediately looked at the tree: "but even the teacher, also can't hurt you."

Jialuo tree closed his eyes and meditated, and said faintly:

"in those early days, the prison did not hurt me, except that when the Wanyao kingdom was destroyed, he almost died at the hand of Shenshu, and I had not been injured for 500 years.

"The Gu clan seems to have taken part in the war."

Xu Pingfeng shakes his head indifferently:

"it's all small things. Alliance with Gu clan is just a cover, and the purpose is to send the incarnation of Bai Di to meet Gu God. As for my eldest son, I'll let him go. When will he be promoted to the right level, then he will be qualified to be my opponent.

"Well, after so many years, I have finally solved a puzzle in my heart."

Galoshu opened his eyes and gazed at him:

"what's the matter?"

Xu Pingfeng said with a smile: "I probably know who the gatekeeper is."
