The Second Master of the Iron-blooded Lian of the Red Chamber

Ever since Jia Jing discovered the collusion between government and merchants in Xihai Yanzi to resell weapons, the king of Nan'an was worried every day and made frequent tricks.But after escaping back to the capital, the villain made a complaint first, but he rehearsed it countless times in his heart.

Seeing the eldest grandson of the emperor, the king of Nan'an was taken aback for a moment, thinking: Why did the imperial army come so soon?Could it be that the spies of the state-owned imperial court in Xihai used flying pigeons to pass on the military information?But the king of Nan'an didn't want to think about that much now, so he cried loudly: "His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a few years. Are you so heroic?" , Those who see it cry.

Seeing that King Nan'an's acting skills are superb, Jia Lian worried that the emperor's eldest grandson would be softened by his crying, so he interrupted King Nan'an and said, "Your Highness, the military situation is extremely urgent."

The eldest grandson of the emperor was also a person who had traveled in six departments and had been to the early court. Emperor Jinghe let him go out alone to do such a big event, so he would not be a fool. He waved his hand and said: "Take him down and continue on your way!"

These words frightened the king of Nan'an, and wanted to continue crying, but the eldest grandson of the emperor had already patted his horse and continued to move forward.

This is a huge army, even if the martial arts are superb, it is difficult to escape.The king of Nan'an was evil and fearful, and suddenly wanted to take the emperor's eldest grandson as a hostage.Wei Jiu was present, how could he be allowed to make mistakes, but with a flash of the figure and the cold light of the dagger in his hand, he broke the tendon in the hand of King Nan'an holding the knife, and someone immediately stepped forward and tied King Nan'an with tendon.

As for the few remaining cronies of King Nan'an, they were either captured alive or stubbornly resisting the on-the-spot Fa-rectification. Soon, King Nan'an and a few of his followers were arrested, and the emperor's eldest grandson sent heavy troops to escort them to the Baihe Dam.

After walking for a few more days, we got closer and closer to the Baihe Dam.

The army marched to a Gobi desert, let experienced guides choose a place to set up camp, and set the next day to continue marching.

Before dawn, Jia Lian woke up suddenly, feeling a strange and inexplicable feeling, either dangerous or depressed.

Jia Lian walked out of the tent with the narrow back knife, and sure enough, he saw Wei Jiu also got up, standing outside the tent with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Wei, good morning." Jia Lian said.

"Second Young Master is really up so early?" Wei Jiu still stood with his hands behind his back, without turning around.

Jia Lian glanced in the direction Wei Jiu was looking at, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Wei, did he smell something?"

"The smell of death." Wei Jiu said lightly.Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood: that is the feeling of that indescribable oppressive feeling.

This place is still about three days away from Baihe Dam. Although the corpses on Baihe Dam have begun to rot, the smell of putrefaction does not spread that far.Perhaps only top killers like Wei Jiu and people like Jia Lian who are always on the brink of death can feel this breath.

"Bones are like mountains, and blood flows like rivers. The ancients said that it is better to be a dog of peace than to be honest. After all, it is the people who suffer." Jia Lian sighed.

Wei Jiu glanced sideways at Jia Lian, this child sometimes made him feel that he had vicissitudes that were not commensurate with his age.But it's more about the spirit of worrying about the world's worries first, maybe it's because of this that he is willing to stay in the Duke's Mansion, and Tan Yue and others are also willing to stay.

"Warrior, stop fighting. May you enjoy peace after this battle." After Wei Jiu finished speaking, he turned and returned to the tent.

Jia Lian looked back at Wei Jiu's back, and hurried back to the camp, meditating on the Kanyu map.Jia Lian first used fine hemp rope to place the position of the secret passage on the map, and then put a ball of red thread on the Baihe Dam.If there is a war on the Baihe Dam, Liu Ping must go through the secret passage to attack the rear of the Western Navy in order to break the siege of the Baihe Dam.

If Liu Ping's troops succeeded in sneak attacking and directly attacking the Xihai King's Department in the guard, Liu Ping's [-] troops would obviously not be enough; It must be exposed!

Thinking of this, Jia Lian knew it well, and collected the Kanyu map.

At this time, the eldest grandson of the emperor had already got up. Seeing Jia Lian looking at the map, he said to Jia Lian, "Morning, Lian'er. There are still three days until we arrive at Baiheba. Is Lian'er starting to study the strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Jia Lian turned around and said solemnly to the emperor's eldest grandson, "Your Highness, we have to change our route. We can't go on the secret road."

The eldest grandson of the emperor frowned slightly, and asked, "How do you say that?"

Jia Lian spread out the map and said: "General Jiang was able to return to Beijing alone by the secret road because the road was secret. If the road had been exposed and the enemy troops were ambushing on the high mountains on both sides of the road, when we passed, thousands of boulders would roll If you fall, you will suffer."

The emperor's grandson said: "Is Lian'er sure that the secret way has been exposed?"

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but we haven't encountered any retreating defenders here, nor have there been a large number of Xihai soldiers, which proves that the two sides are still deadlocked at Baiheba. The secret road leads directly to the guard. If I am the king of Xihai, Occupying the guardhouse and Baihe City, they must order people to carefully survey the surrounding terrain, and this secret passage may not be undetectable."

After hearing this, the eldest grandson of the emperor nodded, and urgently passed the order. The original strategy of dividing the troops into three routes to outflank the West Navy was adjusted to divide the troops into two routes.Go straight to Baihe Dam all the way, facing the enemy head-on; turn north all the way, outflank Baihe City along the northern line.

And in the tents of the Xihai army, they are also preparing various siege weapons.This time, the king of Xihai was determined to win, and said to Tan Su: "Mr. Tan, do you think the imperial army dare to come from the secret road to attack our army's rear?"

Jia Lian's guess was right, that day after Liu Ping led people to fetch food and grass, they retreated through the secret road.Although there were few defenders of the Xihai Navy staying in the guard post, they were killed by Liu Fu's men early on. Because of the rush of time, Liu Fu's department did not completely wipe out the Xi Haijun staying in the guard post. Discovered by the Western Navy.

Tan Su shook his head and said: "Khan, my subordinates always feel that if the battle of siege cannot be won in one fell swoop, it will boost the morale of others. I am afraid that it will not be easy to win again after five days. Khan really refuses to let it go Withdraw the troops and stick to the guard post?"

The king of Xihai clapped his big hand on the armrest of the chair and said: "In this battle, my good man Xihai lost tens of thousands. How can a small Baihe City be able to make up for it? Besides, the Han people have many soldiers and generals. If we only ask them to lose If there is a White River City, there will be a truce to negotiate a peace, and the emperor of the Han may send a large army to seize it.

I have secured the Baihe Dam. There is no large water source to the east of the Baihe Dam. No matter how many imperial troops there are, how can they not drink water?Only in this way, the imperial army could not afford to organize a large-scale attack, and the emperor of Han was willing to make concessions after sitting down to negotiate a peace.If the Han people are asked to stand firm on the Baihe Dam, as long as their food and grass reinforcements arrive, they may not be able to take back Baihe City and the guard. "

Tan Su also knew that the king of Xihai was right, but he always felt that Liu Ping came too fast, and this matter was strange, so he pondered for a while and said, "Khan, don't you think the Han army who attacked the guards came too fast?"

The King of Xihai knew that Tan Su was very resourceful, and asked, "What does Mr. Tan mean?"

Tan Sudao: "Calculating the time, if you travel normally from Baihe City to the capital, it will take half a year to go back and forth. Even if you march on the road, it will take April. At the beginning, Jia Jing took the saber from Chang's house, and he brought fewer people than him. If Liu Ping marched in a hurry, he would have to return to the capital in at least one and a half months. If Liu Ping didn't know that there was a war in Baihe City, he would arrive in Baihe City in March if he traveled normally.

One and a half months after Jia Jing escaped, we started a war with the Han army. At the same time, because Huo Lie had daydreams of defeating the crime, the scouts he sent were tricky and did not return to the capital in a hurry.According to normal speculation, the scouts sent by Huo Lie would only be slightly faster than the fleeing refugees.Therefore, when Liu Ping set off from the capital, the scouts were still on the way, which is why we are sure that the imperial reinforcements will not arrive so quickly.

Liu Ping didn't bring many people, so they should have come to arrest Nan'an Wang Huo Lie.According to the normal speed, Liu Ping would probably meet refugees at the edge of Jin. If he rushed to Baihe City from then on, he should have arrived in these few days at the earliest, but Liu Ping arrived seven or eight days earlier. "

Hearing this, King Xihai became vigilant: "What does Mr. Tan mean?"

"Big Khan, my subordinates thought that since Liu Ping set off from the capital, she had been on the road day and night, so she was in a hurry to attack the guard post when the court defenders ran out of ammunition and food. That is to say, Liu Ping When Ping set off from the capital, he knew that there was a war in the West Coast!"

"It's impossible!" Xihai Wang said.But after thinking about it for a while, the King of Xihai knew that in terms of time, what Tan Su said was very true. "The implication of Mr. Tan's words is that the imperial army may arrive at Baiheba soon."

Tan Su nodded solemnly.The King of Xihai pondered for a while, then stood up and said, "This king will go outside the account to have a look."

The king of Xihai glanced at the tents under his command. There were huge carts and ladders between the tents. Looking at these, the king of Xihai only felt that Baiheba was already in his pocket.The imperial army is about to run out of food, and this time I have sent people to guard the secret passage.Even if the imperial army sent people to attack the guard from the secret road, it would be nothing more than a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.Without reinforcements, Xiaoxiaobaiheba is bound to miss.At this time, why did Tan Su disturb his military morale?

Besides, what Tan Su just said is very reasonable, Liu Ping really knew that there would be a war in Xihai Yanzi when she set off from the capital, that's why she came so quickly.But how did he know?Even if some of King Nan'an's subordinates were loyal to the imperial court and told the secret.However, when the King of Nan'an contacted him and agreed to start the war, it had been a full month since Jia Jing left the guard post. Within half a month, it was difficult to guarantee that the military information would be accurately transmitted to the capital even if the pigeons sent messages.Liu Ping decided that it was impossible for her to know that there would be a war in Xihai Yanzi as soon as she left Beijing.

The only possibility is that before King Nan'an contacted her, Liu Ping knew that Xihai Yanzi would start a war.Then the person who can tell Liu Ping to prepare early is also the person who persuades the King of Nan'an to contact him. This person can also persuade himself to accept the suggestion of the King of Nan'an. Who is this person?

A stern look flashed across Xihaiwang's face, and he called his cronies to arrest Tan Su.No matter how Tan Su has enmity with the imperial court, he is also a Han Chinese. Once the king of Xihai suspects that there is a spy around him, Tan Su is still the first to suspect.

Ever since Tan Su was suspicious, King Xihai felt that the reason why Tan Su suggested to withdraw his troops was because the imperial reinforcements could not arrive.In order to save the Baihe Dam for the Han people, Tan Su said those words that would expose himself. Therefore, the King of Xihai decided to attack the city according to the original plan.

Two days later, the court defenders ran out of food again.To be on the safe side, Xihaiwang did not order a siege.Although the imperial army was out of food last time, they still had some strength and bravery. Not only was it useless to attack Baiheba, but the Xihai army also suffered heavy losses.The king of Xihai gained wisdom by eating a pit, and decided to starve the imperial army for a few more days, and then took down the Baihe Dam in one fell swoop.

On this day, the eldest grandson of the emperor rushed to Baiheba with a large army, and the imperial army was shocked.The next day, the Operation Jiedu envoy led an army of [-] to outflank the northern line, and caught the Western Navy by surprise.

The army of Xihai fought bravely, but the arrival of imperial reinforcements was beyond the expectation of the army of Xihai. Although the king of Xihai led his people to fight hard, they lost nearly ten thousand troops, and the army of Xihai retreated to Baihe City.So far, the situation of the battle has been reversed, and the imperial army vowed to take back Baihe City, while the Western Navy closed the city.

The emperor's eldest grandson carried a military talisman, and he could dispatch troops along the way. Not long after the emperor's eldest grandson left Yumen Pass, the governors of Shaanxi and Gansu also brought reinforcements.The West Sea Navy gradually ran out, and in a fit of anger, the King of West Sea tied up Tan Su and hung him above the gate of Baihe City, saying: "This man is your workman, and he has made a lot of contributions to you Han people. You don't even want his life. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of Han soldiers?"

Tan Su sold out the country for his own sake for decades, but he didn't end well.
