The Crown Prince’s New Female Staff - Chapter 55
At night, the stars rise and fall, and the lone wolf howls.
“Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!”
The strategist shouted loudly in Xiongnu, and the cold arrow made of steel instantly ripped through the air and shot straight into the distance.
The north wind whistled and ruffled the robes of the people in Wendurge. He had messy long hair, flicked his right hand, whipped the horse fiercely, and quickly drove the carriage towards the poisonous miasma of Yangshan.
“Prince, Khan has launched an army! Can we still escape?”
The strategist stood behind Wendurg, holding a heavy bow and arrow in one hand, aiming and shooting arrows quickly. Wendorg said in a deep voice, “Khan has given up on us.”
To be precise, from the very beginning, when Wendurge was ordered to go to the Central Plains, he was abandoned.
Including the dozens of powerful warriors he took away.
Wen Duerge’s eyes were red, and his eyes were full of red bloodshots, “Why!”
The night wind ruffled his hair, and his robes fluttered. The wind seemed to penetrate Wendurge’s body, cooling down his hot heart. Still following.
A sharp whistle sounded, and a black shadow flashed in front of him.
The silver moonlight slanted down, the horses neighed, and all the people on the frame were thrown to the ground by the sudden obstacle, and Wendurge was thrown out in embarrassment.
There was a sound of horses’ hoofs kicking, and Wendurge just propped up his upper body when the woman’s voice came over.
“stop!”
Xie Rongruo, who wanted to let go of the cold arrow, withdrew his hand, sat on the horse and looked down at the group of people. The original team of dozens of people was sparsely surrounded in the middle.
The Xie family’s Qingqi was covered in darkness, Wen Duerge looked at Xie Yu and gasped fiercely.
“I don’t move your people, let your men be honest.”
With a wave of the woman’s hand, the Xie family surrounded the people with horses. All the weapons, swords and crossbows were confiscated. Wendurge was **** with ropes by Xie Yu’s men, tied and threw it on the frame.
Wendurge looked at the woman riding a horse beside him, his teeth itch with hatred, “The Huns have already started a war, so aren’t you afraid of delaying the fighter plane?”
“You should think about how to play your last value,”
Xie Yu tilted his head to look at him and smiled disdainfully.
“I have been abandoned by the Huns! We are all abandoned by the Huns! We are worthless at all!”
Wen Duerge roared, and the military advisor on the side was also tied into a silkworm chrysalis. Hearing this, he immediately shouted, “Prince!”
This sound was in Hun language, but Xie Yu’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
The guard beside him turned his horse’s head and whispered in Xie Yu’s ear.
“Are you Wendorg?”
Xie Yu said in surprise, she did not expect Amur Khan to send her own son into this wolf pond and tiger den.
Amur Khan had three sons in total, and Wendurge was born to a handmaiden of the Hu people that he favored. He was never liked by Amur Khan, so he was thrown into the Central Plains, and Xie Yu was not very surprised.
The strategist’s face suddenly paled, Wen Durge calmed down at this time, he stared at Xie Yu and smiled disdainfully: “So what?”
“Don’t worry, eldest prince, you will realize your value.”
Xie Yu raised the corners of her lips meaningfully, and as soon as she kicked her horse, she drove her horse forward. The crowd made a way for her. The moment the woman’s back disappeared, Wendurge clearly felt the vehicle he was riding in. Accelerating in an instant, the entire team was silent except for the sound of horseshoes and rolling axles.
While Wendurge was shocked, he tried to stabilize his swaying figure on the frame.
After rushing all night, until dawn, everyone saw a black winding, like the city wall of the imperial city.
There are countless dark fortresses built on the black and stern city walls, and the patrolling people must be on guard below except for the top tower.
Before entering the city, Wenduerge felt a chilling air.
Completely different from the Central Plains style, and completely different from the Yangshan Pass that had taken a new path before, Wen Durg looked at the heavy city gate and suffocated in his heart.
The Xie family, led by Xie Yu, waited neatly under the tower.
Horses hoofs neighed, and a man in pitch-black armor and a silver cloak appeared on the city tower. The man had a tough face and a short scar on the tail of his eyebrows. At this time, his anger sank into his dantian, and he asked loudly, “Who is this under the city?”
“The current commander of the Xie family army, the head of the Xie family, Xie Yu, arrived in Saibei by the decree of the saint!”
Xie Yu restrained the horse’s head, raised her eyebrows slightly, and the flying feathers between her eyebrows were particularly vivid in the early morning. As her high-pitched voice came from down the city tower, Xie Zhiqing’s eyes darkened, and she asked loudly: “Please show me the commander-in-chief. Pass!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a black token wrapped in strong wind was caught between his fingers in an instant, and his rough palm turned over the token before he relaxed his expression.
“Welcome the coach into the city!”
A cannon rang out from the city tower, and Xie Rongruo fired the signal gun from his waist into the sky. The two family marks engraved in the sky were the same, and the gate opened slowly.
The light cavalry surrounded the Huns quickly entering and leaving, Xie Zhiqing flashed and flew down from the tower.
When she stood still, Xie Ruyi and Xie Abao asked the inspectors at the city gate to check her identity, but Xie Yu was unimpeded. She was running around for days, and the sand on her face was already visible, and the fine braids on her head made people accurately identify.
Xie Zhiqing gave her a military salute and took the initiative to lead the boss’s horse.
This city gate is the main city gate and an important strategic location for the military. On weekdays, the common people go to and from the city gate.
And Wen Duerge and others were blindfolded long before they entered the city.
“These are the Huns, put them in the dungeon, and I will take them to the north after a day’s rest. I heard that Hanzhou has been at war with the Huns for a few days, and I don’t know what Xie Zhiya is over there. condition?”
Xie Yu was inconvenient to transmit information on the road, so he could only speed up the journey to the customs.
Saibei includes Liaozhou, Hanzhou and Xiangzhou, with a vast territory. The three prefectures and counties are unified under the management of Xie Guogong. The unified economic and trade and easy access and access have been formed, and the folk customs are open. The three prefectures and counties are almost integrated development. .
However, Hanzhou is the first line of defense against the Huns and Hu people. Although the war has begun, Xie Yu’s news is blocked, and he still wants to hear Xie Zhiqing’s report.
Xie Zhiqing was one of Xie Yu’s subordinate officials and was ordered to guard the Liaozhou military. Xie Zhiqing’s enchantment, Xie Zhiya, was an official close to Xie Yu.
“The food and grass in Hanzhou can last for a month. The Huns are coming fiercely. Lord Xie Guogong has already handed over a book to the court, indicating that the situation is critical.”
In the spring, the sandstorm in Saibei is gradually rising, the snow water has not completely melted, and a wind blows in the face, Xie Yu’s mouth directly enters the sand, she pooh a few times, and instructs Xie Zhiqing: “Take good care of those Huns, yes Amur Khan’s eldest prince, don’t leak the news!”
Xie Zhiqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and he was slightly relieved when he saw Xie Yu’s figure disappearing into the street.
At this time, the sergeant had already settled down, holding the knife at his waist, and hurriedly came to report: “General, it has been settled.”
“Block the news, you maintain order, I will go back to the house to repair a book.”
“Subordinates obey.”
The sergeant was wrapped in a red cloth scarf, and immediately commanded the rear: “Everyone rushed into the cellar! The wave of people who went out of the city to pick up the coach went to the camp to register!”
At this time, dawn broke, and the golden sunlight began to fall on the ground.
And Xie Yu found the Hongchen Inn in the city, which was still the two big red pillars she was familiar with. As soon as she reined in her horse, Father Wen, who was in charge of the account room, hurriedly opened the door.
“Hey, my coach, you can finally come back.”
The old man’s hair was already gray, and after opening the door, Bijia, who was brown in cotton wool, took the hem of his clothes and rushed to Xie Yu in two steps.
“Father Wen, how are you doing lately?”
“Then why don’t you say it, oh, don’t be polite, and hurry up and take a break.”
After saying this, the old man helped Xie Yu hold the horse rope, turned back and shouted to the inn: “Little watermelon! You have no eyesight, get out, your sister Ayu is back!”
Xie Yu turned over and dismounted, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a chubby little boy hurried out and pounced on Xie Yu.
“Sister Ayu! You came back so early!”
Before he could hug him enough, Xie Yu just dragged his chubby body when the little watermelon was pulled out by Father Wen. The old man patted his little head, “Go! Take your sister’s horse away.”
Little Watermelon glanced at Father Wen resentfully, then pouted the horse and led the horse to the racecourse.
At this time, the guys had just started running. Father Wen and Xie Yu slowly entered the main hall. The two walked through the hall, found an inner room, and sat down and talked at will.
“The letter has already been passed in the capital, and the food and money are on the way. Now the situation in Hanzhou is not too bad. What are your plans?”
Father Wen was also an important member of the army in Saibei when he was young, but he was not affiliated with the Xie family army. Because of his outstanding ability and lack of ambition, after being injured on the battlefield, he was simply supported by Xie Guogong and became the accountant of the Xie family lord’s order.
There are a total of 200,000 troops in Saibei, of which Xie’s army is only 30,000, and the remaining troops guard each fortress in turn, forming the steel Great Wall of Qi Dynasty Saibei.
The annual military expenditure of these 200,000 troops is huge, but after Xie Guogong took office, he directly changed the system to the system of raising soldiers in the fields, which successfully increased the financial revenue.
“Xie Zhiya had a hard time defending in Hanzhou. The Huns attacked fiercely. It is said that there are 150,000 troops this time, and my Xie family’s army of 30,000 will definitely not do anything.”
The Xie family’s 30,000 troops belonged to private soldiers or elite soldiers. Of the other 170,000 troops, 30,000 were elite soldiers trained by the court, and the remaining 140,000 were regular soldiers.
Father Wen also thought of this, and wanted to talk to her: “Xie Guogong has full authority to lead the troops in Saibei. Logically speaking, the command of the army is in your hands. The only shortcoming is that Pang Yong.”
Xie Yu nodded slightly, and said hesitantly: “Listening to Xie Zhiya’s letter, Pang Yong is suspected of being passive and underestimating the enemy.”
Pang Yong is one of the veterans of the army. He is the only one with the same fame as Xie Guogong. However, despite his age, Pang Yong has never given way to the army for so many years.
Xie Yu even suspected that he was one of Wang Yue’s lackeys.
