Together with Kou Meng, he came to the barracks under the city wall and saw a mess. All the soldiers who were resting during the Chinese New Year ran back, burning oil on the city wall and carrying wooden and stones to prepare for combat.

Qingxu County has not experienced war for 60 years, and the city defense is not much different. At this time, the preparation for sharpening the gun at the last battle is like a cattle rushing over to sharpen the knife to kill the chicken. It can be said that it is meaningless.

County Magistrate Liu from Qingxu County was just having a drink at his colleague's house and didn't even wear official uniforms. He carried his robe and looked pale and ran under the city wall, constantly asking:

"General Chen, what's wrong? What happened to the north?"

The military chief here is Chen Da, a military officer who is short and strong, carrying two sabers on his back. He was irritated and responded annoyedly: "Ask me who should I ask?! I must have broken the barrier after burning five cigarettes... I knew something was going to happen! I didn't leave a few days ago, so I had to transfer me to Qingxu County and let a group of new recruits be scouts. Sure enough... He ran quickly and waited to die!..."

Chen Da used to lead troops at Ningwu Pass, and his family had been a military householder for generations. He was famous for having a strong temper and a fierce temperament. He always offended people and was not favored by his superiors. He only had about two hundred people under his command, not even a general, but was only a soldier leader.

The two hundred people stationed in Qingxu County were all soldiers under Chen Da. The individual soldiers were of good quality, but they were hard to cook without rice. When they saw the situation of the beacon tower, they knew that something was wrong. The small broken city in front of them could not be guarded at all, and the emotions on their faces were very panicked.

Xu Buling took Kou Meng into the barracks. Before he could speak, Chen Da looked over and said angrily:

"Kou Meng! Where are you going to die?? Hurry up, you have good kung fu. Pegasus goes to Taiyuan to send reinforcements. If you go too late, we will all die here..."

Kou Meng was sweating profusely, and Yaoyao raised his hand and said, "General Chen, this person is..."

"I don't care who he is, and I will be too busy dealing with military law..."

Xu Buling didn't have time to introduce himself, so he walked up to him and raised the gold medal in his hand:

"The Grand Governor of the Western Liang Army has an order. You and others will immediately follow me out of the city and go to Taiyuan City to assist in defense."

Chen Da was holding up a knife and urging his soldiers to hurry up. Before he could pay attention to Xu Buling, he was a little stunned when he heard this. He looked at the gold medal in a blink of an eye, a little confused.

The Grand Commander is the highest military commander in the country. The often-called Grand Commander is Wang Chenghai, the Grand Commander of the Western Protectorate of Liaoxi, who is in charge of the Eastern Army, that is, from Luliang Mountain to Youzhou; the commander of the Western Army is Guo Xianzhong, who is in charge of the section from Luliang Mountain to Chencang; further out to Yumen Pass, it is the place where the Western Liang Army is responsible for; the commander of the Western Liang Army must be King Su, but "King Su" is a title rather than an official position. Strictly speaking, Xu You is indeed an official to be the Grand Commander, and no one calls him that. Chen Da has no impression, so it is natural.

Liu Magistrate of Xu County, Qingxu County, was a civil servant, and he had to know much more about these things. Seeing King Su’s gold medal, he quickly raised his hand and bowed: “I’m going to pay homage to you, how dare you ask me if you are?”

"Crown Prince Su Xu Buling, don't talk nonsense, gather the troops."

Chen Da's eyes lit up, and he finally understood who was in front of him - the grandson of General Xu Lie. If the soldiers had never heard of it, their heads would be white. Although Chen Da was from the Eastern Army and was not under the jurisdiction of Xiliang, he was all Dayue's soldiers. In the wartime situation, it must be someone who listened to the other. If the superiors issued an order, they would not have retreated without the military order. At the moment, it was as if they had seen a savior, and they quickly turned around and shouted to let the soldiers gather.

When Liu Magistrate Liu saw that it was Prince Su, he had no joy on his face and hurriedly said, "Little Prince, why are you here? You transfer your troops away, what should you do in the county town? Thousands of families in the county town..."

Xu Buling raised his hand: "Ningwu Pass must have been broken. The Northern Qi army arrived in a flash, and Qingxu County could not be defended. You should go to the old gentry in the county now. When the Northern Qi army arrived, they surrendered directly and said something good, "I have thought about Daqi for sixty years and finally came back."

County Magistrate Liu was stunned and immediately became angry: "Little Prince, how can this be done? There are old officials and young officials. If the court knows..."

Xu Buling's face turned cold: "I am impatient to follow the power of the matter, and I have to do it in order to protect the people in the area. When the court fights back, I will prove your innocence. If you can't fight back, your official position in Northern Qi remains unchanged, and you may be promoted. What are you afraid of? You have to be the target of the Northern Qi massacre of the city and establish authority?"

County Magistrate Liu thought about it again, and seemed to be the same. He quickly raised his hand: "Little Prince, don't fool the officials..."

Xu Buling had no time to talk nonsense with the county magistrate and asked him to contact the local tribe as soon as possible.

The county town had only four teams of 200 people, and soon rushed over from the front and back gates. Xu Buling glanced and felt a little calmer. Dayue was short of war horses. The border army consisted of 50% infantry, 30% crossbowmen, and 20% cavalry. When he came, he was worried that there were 200 sprinters here. At this time, it seemed that the 200 people were rotated from elite troops, and everyone was equipped with war horse crossbows. Although the horse was not good, it was always faster than two legs.

After the troops were assembled, Xu Buling took a team of light cavalry out of the city gate.

Five girls were already waiting outside the city gate, the old woman sat on the horse full of branches, the nightingale riding a good horse and light weight, and took Song Yufu to evacuate quickly.

Just now, he learned the meaning of the beacon tower from the Nightingale's mouth. The girls' faces were quite serious, especially Song Yufu, who was born in a scholarly family, had never even seen a few fights, but he saw the tragic war in history books. His little face was pale and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Nightingale was commonplace in Youzhou to fight against the two armies. At this time, she was the most calm. Just like no one, she walked up to her and glanced at the two hundred light cavalry behind her:

"Young Master, the wedding boat cannot be waiting near Taiyuan for a long time. If you can't get back in an hour, Miss Xiao will definitely raise the anchor and leave first. We have to hurry up."

Qingxi County is on the west side of Taiyuan, fifty miles apart, the two places are parallel and the distance to Ningwu Pass is equal. Xiao Qi's handling of affairs is never influenced by personal emotions, and always chooses the smallest risk and optimal solution. If Xu Buling did not arrive outside Taiyuan City before the Northern Qi Pioneer Army arrived, Xiao Qi would definitely leave first to avoid falling into the enemy.

Xu Buling knew Xiao Qi's temperament, without any hesitation, walked ahead first and galloped towards Taiyuan...

----

Step on the pedal-

The sound of horse hooves was like beating drums. When Ningwu Pass was broken, the horse was flat and there was no danger to guard.

The more than 10,000 elite cavalry who were the first to enter the pass rushed to the surrounding areas of Taiyuan with lightning speed and exerted the effect of the blitzkrieg. Before Dayue could react, he pushed the ball flatly and quickly gained a foothold in the pass. The most difficult and important Taiyuan City was left to the hundreds of thousands of troops behind to attack.

The Northern Qi lacked food, salt and iron. The only advantage was that there were more horses than people, and they were all good-bred horses. They were several times more mobile than the Dayue Army, which combines infantry and cavalry. If the beacon was not too fast, I would have probably not noticed anything in the rear towns and counties.

The smoke and dust rolled on the snowy field of thousands of miles. The vast cavalry pierced the earth like a sharp knife. Behind it was a tsunami-like tide. Occasionally, it paused a little near the fortress and bunkers, and then crushed it directly and replaced it with the purple blue bird flag of Daqi.

At the front of the sharp knife, two "chasing the wind and stepping on the snow" led the crowd. The silver-armored generals on the horse faced only twenty-five or six times. The long loose hair flew with the wind from under the helmet, holding the dragon-patterned spear of the Great Qi Jiang family, and the spear tip was still left with undry blood.

On the battlefield, the young silver-armored general had no tension on his face, but instead showed some indescribable emotion. After all, he was Jiang Kai, the eldest son of Jiang Heng, the right prince of Northern Qi. He did not go deep into the enemy country, but had entered his own home for the first time since he grew up and walked on his own land.

Beside the young man of silver armor, a man of similar age followed closely, with a sword hanging around his waist, and was not wearing armor, looking more like a visitor from the world. If Xu Buling was here, he would definitely recognize this young man, which was Zuo Zhan, who had met in Youzhou in the twelfth month.

Zuo Zhan is the son of the national teacher Zuo Qingqiu, not his disciple. His personality can be seen from the diving water on the river to save people. He is very chivalrous and likes things in the world and traveling around the world. He is not a good source of officialdom.

This battle to restore the country was of great significance. The right prince and the national teacher Zuo Qingqiu could not take risks in person, so he let his legitimate son fall into battle as a vanguard army to boost morale.

Although he was on the battlefield, he might encounter an encounter at any time, Zuo Zhan did not get rid of the bad habit of chatter. While galloping on his horse, he did not forget to introduce to Jiang Kai next to him:

"Your Highness, I have all gone to Taiyuan. There is a Caifeng Tower in Taiyuan City, and the fish girl inside is so charming..."

Jiang Kai, the right prince of Northern Qi, was in a bad mood, with almost no casualties, and was in a good mood: "When the national teacher breaks Taiyuan, that Yu'er girl, I will reward you..."

"Hey! The melon is not sweet. Don't get married by surprise. We are not the barbarians of Mobei..."

“That’s right…”

While speaking, the scouts exploring the way ahead rushed over and reported loudly:

"A team of light cavalry was found more than ten miles away on the right, with more than two hundred cavalry. The leader was not wearing armor and riding a very good horse. He brought his beautiful wife and concubines to the direction and came out of Qingxu County. He was probably in a hurry to return to the aristocratic family in Taiyuan City."

Jiang Heng took more than 10,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard in order to cut off the connection between Taiyuan and the surrounding areas. Because he used a trick to attack the pass, there were no defense inside the pass, and there must be many people outside Taiyuan City. There are many giant clans and generals like the Wang family in Taiyuan City. It is possible to capture the young men and ladies of several aristocratic families and families. The difficulty of persuading surrender will inevitably be greatly reduced. If the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan is caught, it is equivalent to capturing Xiao Ting in Huainan City, and Taiyuan is likely to be defeated without conquering.

But only two hundred people, Jiang Heng could not change the marching route, so he just raised his hand: "Zhang Han, take 400 light cavalry and catch the people back. If you want to survive, the rest of your troops will continue to march towards Jinzhong."

"promise!"
