Chapter 839 The Return of the King

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Walking through the dry desert full of yellow sand, the beautiful oasis gradually appeared in front of the men.

Perhaps only on the edge of the extremely harsh desert can there be such an extraordinary paradise.

The clear streams, lush plants and trees, the fragrance of flowers floats in the wind, the green oasis grassland is endless, and white birds fly over the water, like a fairyland!

Haha... The laughter of the men came from around him. The soldiers ran to the stream happily, scooping up the spring water and pouring it on their faces. The smiling faces in the splashing water made Li Chuyun and others smiled.

Li Chuyun watched the large area of ​​land under the blue sky and white clouds for a long time, smiled and stroked the bearded man under his red face, and praised loudly: Feng'an, Feng'an, both plump and peaceful.

The shouts of military generals came from afar, and the soldiers rode their horses roughly through the stream. On the quiet and beautiful oasis, the wet horses' fur was smooth and smooth, and the agile boys laughed and shouted. The place was soon shrouded in the enthusiastic and noisy atmosphere.

The middle army rode their horses slowly through the stream, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

Not long after, a broken wall in front came into sight. Wei Renpu, the deputy envoy who accompanied him suddenly climbed down from the horse's back, threw the reins to the attendant who led the horse, and walked into the grass to pull out the weeds.

Li Chuyun and others successively strangled their war horses and looked at the broken stone tablet discovered by Wei Renpu.Wei Renpu said without looking back: The monument erected by the Sui Dynasty army here...

Wei Renpu's voice was a little strange. Li Chuyun couldn't help but look at his back and said casually: That would take more than three hundred years.

Today we are back...

Li Chuyun was stunned because Wei Renpu's voice was completely distorted at this time, and he looked at his eyes red again.

Between the weeds, there are broken walls, and the walls are covered with ashes burned by the herdsmen, and there is not a single person ahead.

But when looking back, a large number of galloping cavalry were moving forward, with the powerful sound of horse hooves and the rough roar of horses floating... Yes, we are back!Li Chuyun also said slightly.

He gradually understood Wei Renpu's mood. What he nostalgic about was not the remains of stone tablets and walls, nor was it just Feng'an, but the dynasty's demeanor and the prosperity of the world!

Wei Renpu stood in front of the stone tablet, touching the Chinese characters on the old stone with tears, and pondering for a long time.

Perhaps for a man with a bright mind, his hometown is not a mere and three-part land in his hometown, but the entire China and the vast land that the Han cavalry once entered.

Li Chuyun waited for a while, then rode his horse away, recruiting generals to deploy camps of various armies, where the army was to station and build forts.

The army was stationed in camps until dark, and tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry arrived in batches were not deployed.

The central army was inside a wall of earth. At this time, the bonfires were bright on the grassland, and the fire in the dark night made the wilderness ridges more prosperous.

The highest officials such as Li Chuyun, Shi Yanchao, Wei Renpu, and Zan Jurun stayed in a tent and cooked meat soup around a earthen stove.

The eyes of several people looking at Wei Renpu were a little strange, probably because of a small thing that happened during the day, but he had recovered from calmness at this time.In the fire, two soldiers unfolded the rolled thick paper sketches in the tent.

Wei Renpu walked over, looked at it first, and turned around and said: When Zhang Qian was on an envoy and the Emperor of Sui was on a Western tour, he went to Dadoubagu (Biandukou) to Ganzhou (Zhangye).However, most of Longyou is in the hands of the Tubo people, and we rely on the Lingzhou Grain Road, so the army has to go to Hexi to take the northern route.

He pointed at the yellowed surface. Now Feng'an and the old city (Jingtai County) to the west, there are two fortresses built. One can keep military rations along the way, and the other can have strongholds to maintain the smooth flow of grain.

After the Dangxiang tribe escaped, if the Tubo people came to see each other, they would discuss peace and comfort so that they would not act rashly.Our army's main capturers are Liangzhou, Ganzhou and Suzhou in Hexi.During the fort construction, a secret envoy was immediately sent to contact the Guiyi army and asked the Guiyi army to attack them from both sides.

Zan Jurun pondered and said: Deputy Envoy Wei's plan is very wonderful, but the leader of Liangzhou was a man from the late age and had the Liugu tribe of Tubo.Can Daxu's army still appease the Tubo tribes in the south when they attacked the Tubo people in Liangzhou?

The tribes in the northwest were very complicated, and even Li Chuyun could not understand them very clearly. After hearing the civil officials, they roughly understood that the people of the samurai were natives in Liangzhou... They used to be slaves to the Tubo nobles, and there were not only Tubo people, but also Han people and other slaves. Later, the slaves in Hexi were freely independent and were called the samurai tribe.

At this time, Wei Renpu said: "There are natives in the middle of the world, and the Tubo tribes don't care about them at all.Although the Liugu tribe was a Tubo tribe, the Tubo tribes had long been divided. As long as they were properly handled, they could still appease the Tubo tribes living in Qingtang, Lanzhou and other places.

Zan Jurun bowed: What Deputy Envoy Wei said was extremely true.

After saying that, Wei Renpu politely said to Li Chuyun: What do you think?

Li Chuyun said: Deputy Envoy Wei has a very good strategy. Dangxiang people along the way can expel them from Qingtang and other places to prevent them from irritating the food road.

Wei Renpu turned to look at Shi Yanchao again.

Shi Yanchao was stunned: What do you think I am doing? You can do whatever you say!

Wei Renpu said calmly: "Expelling" Dangxiang people will inevitably suffer innocent casualties, which is not a glorious matter. Shi Gong would better not go. It would be better to wait for Feng Jiye to go to Feng'an another day.

Shi Yanchao hummed, not commenting.

The soldiers stepped forward and stirred the soup in the iron pot with a spoon. The few people said almost the same thing, so they calmed down.Li Chuyun walked out of the tent and couldn't help but look up.

The sky is clear in the northwest, and the stars in the sky are very bright, and Li Chuyun suddenly feels vast.

At this moment, it seems that the earth is not so stable, like the illusion of floating in the sky.

The vast earth, people seem extremely small in it.

At this moment, a horse neighed at the entrance of the two broken walls. Li Chuyun came to his senses and looked at the direction where the movement was coming.

The knight came in a hurry, and the mount suddenly stopped, and the front hooves flew into the air, and then there was a noise of inquiry.

Li Chuyun then stood outside the tent and waited for a while. Soon, his personal soldiers came over with a man holding a horse and reported to him: "Report to the Grand Marshal, this man is a messenger, who came from Lingzhou and brought Tokyo."

After hearing this, the messenger clasped his fists and said: I would like to see the founding Duke and the Hexi Army’s commander, Duke Li.Then he sent the lacquered letter.

Li Chuyun glanced at the lacquer seal and turned around to pay the bill with the goods.The voice of the personal soldiers came from behind: You can wait here first, if there is no way to meet you, we will take you to settle down.

Li Chuyun walked into the tent, sat down behind the wooden table in the north, and pulled out his knife to open it.Seeing this, Wei Renpu immediately turned around.

Letter from the Privy Council.Li Chuyun said, he looked at it first, and the more he looked, the deeper his brows frowned.

Wei Renpu observed it and stepped forward and asked: What did the Privy Council say?

Li Chuyun handed over the letter.After seeing this, Wei Renpu also looked ugly: The Liao army dispatched troops and generals in the Northeast, may it launch a large-scale invasion?

The other two people also quickly took the letter from Wei Renpu and circulated it.

Wei Renpu pondered: The Liao people fought in Youzhou several times, with great loss and were defeated in Wudinghe. I heard that they are now a stinky boy who is the king of the country, and they dare to raise troops to go south?

Li Chuyun stroked the thick black beard on his chin and said nothing.

Zan Jurun was carefully looking at the traces of the lacquer seal and looking at the seal on the letter paper, of course there would be no fake ones.Wei Renpu is a member of the Privy Council. If the letters are fake, any clues will be discovered.

Zan Jurun said: It is said that Li Yiyin has already colluded with the Liao people in the Dangxiang tribe coalition. This time, the Liao army is attacking the east and facing the west and is prepared?

Wei Renpu didn't say anything anymore, and Zan Jurun was a little embarrassed.Shi Yanchao just cursed: Damn, let's run from all over the world, can we still fight in the west?

Zan Jurun took the opportunity to turn his head and talk to Shi Yanchao: The Privy Council did not say anything in the letter, only know the news.

At this time, Li Chuyun finally beat the chopping board: He drafted the strategy of discussing tonight into a memorial and submitted it to the court.Before receiving the military order, act according to the plan.

Wei Renpu nodded and said: The responsibility of Mr. Li and the former military government of our army was to fight the west and could not control the affairs of the Northeast.However, it is necessary to contact the Tokyo court as soon as possible. If the court fights on both sides, our strategy should take more risks; at the same time, we will write to Wang Envoy (Wang Pu) to let him inform the military officials of the military as soon as possible, and we must find out what the Liao army is doing.

Li Chuyun said: Will the Liao people mobilize their troops in the Northeast just bluffing?

Wei Renpu said: I can't say it, it's really hard to predict... Although the Liao Kingdom lost its Youyun, the cavalry still had strong combat power. Otherwise, the situation would not be like this now, and the grassland would have been in chaos!

At this time, the servant came up, took a bowl of meat soup, and brought a basket of hot dried wheat cakes.

Everyone started eating and drinking, and they rode horses every day, even the civil servants had a good appetite.

The tent was left with the sound of drinking soup and the sound of chewing Xisuo, which became quiet and dull.

Li Chuyun has followed Guo Shao for many years and has rich experience in fighting in the north. At this time, he felt something was wrong. He couldn't explain why, but he just relied on intuition...

At this time, when the war was in war, the scouts' information was not very accurate, and many things had to be guessed.

Li Chuyun is not a pure reckless man who can lead troops to stand alone for a long time. His sense of smell is very sensitive, otherwise he would have been trapped in many battles.

A buzzing sound of wind outside the account sounded, and a cool breeze poured in from the door, blowing the fire under the iron pot so that the flames shaking and splashing, sparks splashing.

Li Chuyun was stunned for a while in the light and dark fire, then picked up the bowl as if nothing had happened, took a sip, and then pulled off a piece of the wheat cake and chewed it in his mouth. The military ration was very difficult to chew, but it tasted sweet and not unpalatable.

Wei Renpu threw the bowl on the ground, stood up and said, "As soon as I borrowed Mr. Li's paper and pen, I will write a memorial now and send a quick horse back to Beijing tomorrow morning."
