Chapter 401

Chen Wu opened the window, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning flowed back into the room with the bitter cold air behind the snow.

Yi Feng immediately woke up from his sleep. He wrapped the quilt tightly on his body, wiped his sleepy eyes, and asked Chen Wu who was standing by the window: "Is there any latest news?" Due to the days of travel, and the road was constantly meeting with many great scholars he invited in every day in the bumpy carriage. He often sent someone away and met with the other side immediately, and often had to take a chance to meet with officials from various prefectures and counties passing by and the heads of local tyrants during those intervals. The anxiety and staying up late for many days made him look very haggard, his eyes were covered in blood, and his face turned pale.

Chen Wu shook his head, Yi Feng was worried and asked: "Is there no updated news from Huaihuang? Feige's urgent letter or 500-mile express delivery, is there no news at all?"

Chen Wu still shook his head, "No, Your Highness. You are too tired these days, so you should take a little longer. We will be able to go to Taiyuan tomorrow. Since we have not received any new news yet, Huaihuang's situation is still very good."

Yi Feng no longer felt sleepy. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on his robe, stood up and walked around the house repeatedly, his mind full of Huaihuang's urgent reports he had received before. Three days ago, he received a messenger from Huaihuang at Longmen and sent an emergency message. More than 200 miles northwest of Huaihuang, he found a large number of Tiel cavalry moving south, with a number of possible six or seven thousand cavalry. After receiving this news, Yi Feng hurriedly ordered to set off immediately and continue northward. The appearance of Tiel cavalry in the northwest of Huaihuang at this time was already a very obvious signal.

Hundreds of miles northwest of Huaihuang, there is the important passageway from the south of the desert to the north of the desert. It is also the exit of the southernmost desert to the southernmost desert. Jikou is thousands of miles away from Wusha Castle in the northwest corner of Huaihuang. To the north of Jikou is an endless vast desert. This is an important passageway from the south of the desert to the north of the desert since ancient times. In the south of Jikou, it is naturally the southern part of the desert, from here to the south. It is the Yinshan Baidao, and the Baidao is the Qinglechuan, also known as the Qiantao Plain, which was also called the Tumote Plain in later generations. It is a very fertile land. After Shabolu defeated the war, he moved the Khanting from Yudujin Mountain to the south of Yinshan, and established the Khanting Khan on the Qiantao Plain. Now this fertile plain has become the core center of the Eastern Turks, the base camp of Dulan.

To the southwest of Jikou is the back set plain, which is the left side of the uppermost part of the Yellow River shape, which forms an east set with the front set area on the right, while the left section of the Yellow River shape is called the Western set, including the Lingwu line.

The front pavilion plain is now under Du Lan, who established a Khan Court in the front pavilion Zihe Jinhe area. The back pavilion principle was controlled by the Sui Dynasty. The court established Fengzhou here and established Fengzhou General Administration. However, due to the special geographical characteristics, because Hetao, especially the Dongpai and Guanzhong Plain, is separated by a vast desert and Gobi area, after Du Lan is controlled, the back pavilion actually becomes an enclave of the court. It can only be connected to Longyou Unicom through the west pavilion. If the front pavilion is in the hands of the court, it is fine, the Hetao area can also be passed through Hedong, Yulin and Hedong Yunshuo areas or the northern Shaanxi Plateau. The front pavilion is controlled by the Turks, and the back pavilion is therefore suspended alone and becomes an enclave.

The southeast direction of Jikou is Yifeng's Huaihuang. Of course, Jikou is thousands of miles away from Wusha Castle, and after the Huaihuang army established Wusha Castle, the continuous storm also drove away the Hu people more than a hundred miles away from the north, and further north, many Turkic tribes were nomad.

There are also some Tiel tribes in the south of the Moon, but they are all small tribes that migrated south from Moon. The Tiel cavalry that appeared this time was the Tiel tribe cavalry in the Moon, and they were not the soldiers of a large tribe, but the vanguard cavalry of the major tribes of Tiel. The Tiel tribes in Moon are numerous and powerful. The large tribes have tens of thousands of troops, some have 100,000 troops, and some have 30,000 to 20,000 troops, and some have 30,000 victorious soldiers. If the Tiel tribes in Moon send all their strength, they can gather a 100,000 troops at any time, or even mobilize them in full. It is not impossible to get 200,000 cavalry south. Although Moon is a desert that is thousands of miles away, it is not an insurmountable natural danger. If the Tiel tribes gather and go south, the pressure faced by Huaihuang will be extremely great.

It has been three days since the news came, but no follow-up news came, and Yi Feng was very worried.

He was thinking quickly in his mind that the Tiel van, which had thousands of people, had obviously been a joint force. Although there were not many soldiers, it revealed an important information that this operation was a joint action. Moreover, the Tiel van vans jointly sent troops, which was probably an action after being ordered by the Turkic Khanate.

The war is about to begin. Will the Turks regard Huaihuang as the first target of attack?

It's been three days, and I still know nothing about the situation in Huaihuang, which is too bad.

Yi Feng couldn't help but couldn't say anything: "I want to know the news about Huaihuang, even if it's just a little bit of news."

Chen Hua looked at him without saying a word. She was not very clear about the war, but she also knew that there was no news for three days in a row, which was very abnormal. If there was no previous news, there was nothing, but since there was the information from three days ago, there was no follow-up news yet, it would seem extremely abnormal. What's even more unusual is that after receiving the news three days ago, Yi Feng had already sent someone to Huaihuang, but now three days have passed, Huaihuang has not sent anyone, and the people sent by Yi Feng have not returned at all.

It's awful, Yi Feng thought, things are in a mess.

He cheered up and shouted to the outside, "Please come here."

Seeing Yi Feng refused to rest, Chen Wu said helplessly: "I go to Sister Hongfu's place to chat."

Yi Feng nodded, knowing that she was not used to seeing outsiders, and he didn't care.

Li Mi came in and Yi Feng asked him, "Is there no news about Huohuang yet?"

"Your Highness, you haven't received the news yet. My subordinates suspected that Huaihuang might have sent someone over, but they were intercepted halfway."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you spread this without evidence, it will cause unnecessary trouble." Yi Feng interrupted him. He knew what Li Mi meant. Li Mi suspected that the Bingzhou General Administration intercepted the letters and messengers from Huai Huang. This is a very likely guess. After all, the assassination case in the capital has not yet been revealed. Although Yang Guang is the most suspicious now, Yang Guang was taken into custody in Beijing for this reason. However, Yi Feng and his staff have never believed it very much.

Yang Guang was the mastermind of the assassination case. Like Yi Feng, they both believed that Yang Guang might have been dirty and then the emperor took the opportunity to make a move. Speaking of the assassination case, they believed that the biggest suspicion was Yang Liang, the former general manager of Bingzhou. Now that Yang Liang was renamed as general manager of Jingzhou, he was cheated of himself. But even if Yang Liang was renamed as general manager of Jingzhou, he had been in Bingzhou for two years and must have managed some of his own forces. If he secretly sent someone to cause trouble for the grandson, it would be impossible.

"Your Highness, my subordinates are provoking their lives to make suggestions. Please be more careful. If the assassination case was really planned by the King of Han, then there may be a follow-up to this matter. Being intercepted by one or two letters is not a big problem, but what if they are unwilling to die and want to be unfavorable to Your Highness? Your Highness, we are in the territory of Bingzhou and are about to arrive in Taiyuan, which turns out to be the base camp of the King of Han. If they want to engage in any conspiracy, we will be quite unfavorable."

"Be careful, it will be fine." Yi Feng knew this, of course, too. But he wanted to go back to Huaihuang immediately, so he had already ordered yesterday that he would not go as planned today. They would not go to Jingxing into Hebei. Instead, they would pass through Taiyuan. Continue to north, from Xin Daiwei to Guizhou, and finally to Huaihuang in Wuzhou. They did not go to Youzhou, but went directly to Huaihuang. This route was in Hedong. They traveled across the entire Hedong, especially after passing Taiyuan. There were paths along the way, and the roads were dangerous. However, Yi Feng was not the light chariot he had last time. He was surrounded by an army of more than 10,000 people. Not to mention whether Yang Liang had the courage, even if he really had the courage, he had to consider his abilities.

Li Mi knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "Is my subordinate really going to change his plan and go straight to Huaihuang?"

Yi Feng took a deep breath, "Well, go straight north and we can reach Huaihuang faster. However, we don't need to change the route together. Your Majesty pulled me the tens of thousands of people and my personal guards to follow me north. The other generals, their servants and guards and civilians went east through Jingxing to Hebei, and we will divide the road tomorrow."

"Your Highness, do you still want to enter Taiyuan City?"

Yi Feng shook his head: "There is no need to be that. Let's rest outside the city tonight, and march separately at dawn tomorrow. We will go north to Huaihuang."

That night, the large army arrived outside Taiyuan. In Taiyuan City, officials of the Bingzhou General Administration Office came to welcome the emperor's grandson, the Eastern Army General Administration and the newly appointed Youzhou General Administration Officer, but was rejected by Yi Feng. The reception banquet was very unceremonious and refuted, saying that he was very tired and needed a rest. The Bingzhou Prefecture officials returned in disappointment, and Yi Feng didn't care. He met the local officials and local tyrants along the way, but he did not give these people face when he arrived in Taiyuan. Of course, there was a reason. The main reason was that he knew that no matter how he mixed it, there would be no result, so he was too lazy to waste his expression and energy.

That night, Yi Feng summoned the generals and told him about his decision again, and all the generals finally agreed.

In the middle of the night, Jia Xiong, director of the Hedong Department of the Teke Co., Ltd., quietly asked for a meeting.

"Tell me what happened, these three days!" Yi Feng was very unhappy when he saw Jia Xiong in the tent.

Jia Xiong wiped his sweat and looked uneasy, "There was something unexpected. Our Hedong Department checked for a long time and finally found the problem." He was originally a recorder in the Huazhou County Government in Henan Province, and was not a member of the official. He had a good relationship with Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Xu Gai and others, and was also a member of that circle. When Yi Feng went north, he also made friends with Yi Tong, and later went north together. When Yi Feng first established a position in Yanshan, he made many contributions to his plan. Later, Yi Feng established a special department and inserted him into it. Now Jia Xiong, the dog-headed military advisor, has become the director of the special department Hedong Department.

“What happened?”

Jia Xiong quickly told the whole story. Things were beyond Yi Feng's expectations. Something did happen in the past three days, but nothing big happened.

After Yi Feng received the news about Huaihuang three days ago, he sent someone to Huaihuang first, but the people he sent disappeared outside Taiyuan City.

As the intelligence agency sent by Yi Feng to Bingzhou, the Special Forces quickly began to investigate and quickly found out that the missing messenger was most likely ambushed and captured by people from Bingzhou Prefecture. To be more precise, it was Yang Liang's men who captured Yi Feng's messenger. After these people captured Yi Feng's messenger, they also sent people to set up ambush on various roads outside Taiyuan City, preparing to intercept all those who sent messages between Yi Feng and Huaihuang.

After Jia Xiong and other special personnel of Hedong Department found this news, they were very serious. Ling Jing, a senior intelligence officer of Hedong Department, analyzed to Jia Xiong that Yang Liang's people were likely planning a conspiracy and planning an action. According to the information they had, it is not difficult to find that Yang Liang's people were most likely to be preparing to deal with the crown prince. After hearing this analysis, Jia Xiong immediately went south to report to Yi Feng, but Ling Jing persuaded him. He believed that he should be calm and pretended to be unaware of the plan, so as not to alarm the snake, and they could lead the snake out of the hole and finally beat the other party in one place. After all, there was only a thousand days of thieves, and no one to guard against the thieves for a thousand days. Taking action too early would only make the other party hide. It would be better to wait until they showed up and then catch them all in one place.

Jia Xiong finally boldly agreed to Ling Jing's plan, and did not send anyone to inform Yi Feng, nor did he care about Yang Liang's person completely cut off the contact between Yi Feng and Huai Huang in three days. Anyway, there was no big deal in these three days. Hedong Si was very clear about Huai Huang's situation and allowed the other party to cut off the contact for these three days. It was also to make trouble for the other party. At the same time, he could follow the clues and find more useful information.

Yi Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Huaihuang was indeed fine.

"The cavalry won a great victory in the north of Wushabao, and wiped out nearly 6,000 Tiele troops in succession?"

"Yes, the brothers of the cavalry are very brave. This battle was very good, and the cavalry basically suffered no losses. Now the cavalry has withdrawn from Wusha Castle. The combat plan is proposed by Li Jing, and then General Shan Xiongxin and General Zhang Jincheng are in charge of command." Jia Xiong confirmed.

"Very good, Li Jing is indeed amazing. It's not just a matter of talking about war. Shan Er Ge is also powerful. This battle is beautiful." Yi Feng was very happy to hear the result of this battle. He annihilated 6,000 enemies, and he was almost completely damaged. This has completely met his expectations. Especially when he heard that this battle was planned by Li Jing, commanded by Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Jinzhuo. He was even happier after using the ambush and raid strategy to win. On the one hand, it proved that Li Jing, Shan Xiongxin and others had indeed grown up like the suspect cavalry and could stand alone. On the other hand, the Huaihuang Cavalry did not fight recklessly with the superior forces, but adopted the tactics of ambush, which made him even more satisfied. He was afraid that the kind of person who underestimated the enemy and the generals of Huaihuang now performed quite satisfactorily.

"Your Highness, our Hedong Department has found out that the people who planned to plot against Youth are Wang Xuba, Song Jingang, Wei Daoer, Zhen Zhai'er and other black mountain bandits. However, we believe that these four people are just clowns in front of the stage. The real behind-the-scenes planner should be King Yang Liang of Han, and the two responsible for contacting the Black Mountain bandits are Wang Jun and Xiao Maha, the consultant of the Bingzhou General Administration Office." Jia Xiong took a lot of effort to finally get to know this information, but in front of Yi Feng, he seemed to have successfully discovered the enemy's conspiracy without much effort.

After hearing the names of Wang Xu and Xiao Mohe, Yi Feng basically believed that what Jia Xiong said was Yang Liang's behind the scenes. Wang Xu and Xiao Mohe were Yang Liang's confidant generals. (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
