Chapter 631 The wind rises in the northern border (final)

Looking at Yang Wenting who was dying in front of him, Guan Feng was also a little stunned.

Just now, he took action desperately because of his great fear and anger. Until he killed the imperial envoy from the capital, the little anger quickly subsided, leaving only panic and regret.

But with the screams of his subordinates around him, he quickly came back to his senses and forced his fear to suppress the fear in his heart. After being guarded by the border for many years, he knew that he must not be in chaos under such circumstances, otherwise the situation would only become more and more out of control, and there would be only a dead end.

He had to pull everyone here to his boat and tie them up to get a fight together to win the opportunity for himself to survive! So he turned around decisively and looked around quickly. As soon as the momentum over the years came out, he immediately suppressed the panicked subordinates, and spoke decisively under their gaze:

"What are you panic? Isn't it just killing a few treacherous people who want to harm us? Since the matter has happened, I will no longer hide it from you. Do you know how difficult the situation we have been waiting for in the past few years?

"The great defeat five years ago has made the court extremely dissatisfied with us, and even began to deduct our military pay. Last year, half a year of military pay was not paid."

Sure enough, when he changed the subject, the generals immediately threw the death of the imperial envoy aside. Someone wondered: "General, have we been providing military pay on time in recent years?"

At this time, it was the turn of my confidant to speak. I saw that the man who had just taken the initiative to kill the imperial envoy escort immediately shouted: "What do you know? These are all his own money taken out by General Guan!"

"Ah..." Everyone was surprised again, looking at their chief general, who did not stop their confidants, but heard him continue, "You think the food and salary you received were all given by the court? No, that was the general who took out all his years of savings, but even so, it was far from enough, so the general later thought of getting silver from outside. Just so, starting from the previous year, His Highness Yong wanted to make good friends and win over the general, so the general took the opportunity to make a request, asking for millions of taels of silver from the capital...

"And just a few days ago, the incident of King Yong broke out, and the matter of his relationship with the general was also known to the court, so this time the court suddenly sent an imperial envoy to bring the general back to the capital. Do you think it is really that simple to report the job? It is obvious that we have to settle the accounts after the autumn and deal with our general.

"You all think about it, who is the general doing all this for? Not for himself, but for our brothers to have stuttering and let our family survive. Do you have the heart to let the general pay so much for us until he pays his life?"

After a generous speech, all the generals were silent. After a moment, their expressions became excited: "General, is this true?"

"General, we must not let them treat you like this. You can tell me, what should I do? If you have a sword, fire, as long as you say something, my brothers will follow you!"

"General..."

Guan Feng's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and he sniffed, and he said, "Good brother, with your words, it's worth my death. I was indeed ready to die before, but just now, I changed my mind. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm worried about you. It's nothing I'm dead, but what about you? As my division, my confidant, won't you be implicated by me?

"No, I believe that once I die, they will only become worse. At that time, our entire brothers in Dinglu Pass will suffer undesirable disasters, and even because of my death there will be no one who will speak for you.

"Thousands of us have fought from the bloody battles with the Guirong people. The Guirong people's quick sword and strong bow cannot kill us. We can't die in a frustration by the sluts in the court, right? So, this time I want to fight for one, for myself and for you all, this time!

"Of course, if you feel that it is wrong to raise the troops at this time, then I, Guan Fengjue, have nothing to say. My head is here. You can come and chop it up and ask for rewards now. If you don't want to do this, you have to listen to me in the next step, and we will make a fortune for ourselves!"

"We swear to follow the general to the death!"

"We want to let the corrupt officials and bastards in the court know that we are definitely not puppets that they can control!"

Everyone's emotions were ignited. They no longer had the awe of the past for the imperial court, but only contempt and hatred. They wished they could follow their generals to fight to Luoyang City now.

"Okay, then I'll follow my arrangements next..." Guan Feng nodded with satisfaction, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes. The most critical step had already been taken. Next, it depends on whether the "reinforcements" mentioned by the man can arrive in time.

...

The north wind is tight, causing large snowflakes to dance between the sky and the earth, making the universe vast.

In such a harsh climate, it is generally impossible to march, but on the grassland this time, there was a team of nearly 10,000 people running towards the south at the fastest speed.

This is a pure cavalry team formed by a combination of multiple tribes. Everyone in the team is elite warriors from the grassland tribes such as Keyan and Tatuo. They galloped against the wind and snow, and were completely unaffected by the harsh climate. After five days of rapid marching, they finally arrived in front of a tall city of passes.

This is the first important pass in the northwest of the Central Plains, close to the grassland, Dinglu Pass.

This pass is a truly majestic pass, with continuous mountains on both sides, and only the road where the pass is located can pass through. However, the pass is more than ten feet high, and the wall is made of rammed earth and covered with thick bricks and stones. One pass can stand at the top to stop 100,000 soldiers.

The key is that this is the only throat of the northwest area to enter the Central Plains. As long as this pass is not lost, the rear will be domineering, and the Dingzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai, and it can transport soldiers, food and weapons to the front line continuously. It is not an exaggeration to say that the northwest natural barrier is not an exaggeration.

For a hundred years, the northern border of Great Vietnam has had many wars with Guirong, but there has never happened to Dinglu Pass. It can be said that it is a nightmare existence of the entire grassland tribe. Today, when Tulai of the Keyan tribe, which is the prince of the Han people, personally led his troops to attack, Guan Zhi was determined to win.

The leaders of Tuhuan and other troops who followed him were still full of uncertainty about this. Seeing that the team was getting closer and closer to the black-shaped gate city, someone finally couldn't help but ride a horse to Ke Yanguda: "Tu Lai, can we kill this heroic gate like this openly? "

Ke Yanguda looked back slightly and grinned: "Who said we are going to kill it?"

"Then... can we still fly through this great pass?"

"No, I entered this border of Vietnam with a swagger."

"Impossible! The Vietnamese army guarding the pass is not crazy, how could they..."

"Just go with me, everything is within our Khan's plan. This time, not only a small city, but also the entire northern Vietnam will become our hunting target! " As he said that, he urged his horse and rushed forward quickly.

The cavalry of Keyan's army immediately shouted and followed. As for the soldiers and horses of other tribes, after hesitating, they rode their horses with some doubts. Suddenly, tens of thousands of cavalry spread out on the vast snowfield and rushed towards the northern city like a group of hungry wolves.

One hour later, the ten thousand grassland soldiers successfully entered Dinglu Pass. Although there were still many Yue soldiers holding weapons looking at them, there was no conflict between the two sides.

Guan Feng had already met Ke Yan Guda at this time. With the help of the middle-aged man, the two sides had a very pleasant conversation:

"I can help you open the Bazhou City behind you, but you have to agree to me with a condition."

"you say."

"After breaking the city, you must not hurt innocent people, especially the houses and shops hanging on the military flag of Dingluguan. You must be completely unreasonable. As for the city's stockpiling of grain and wealth, or the families of rich families, you can take them..."

"Yes, I can swear to Changshengtian. As long as you can help us take down Bazhou City, I can agree to all the conditions you put forward!" Ke Yan Guda was very excited and agreed to the other party's conditions in one go. Then, under the witness of the middle-aged man, the two sides officially signed the alliance.

Three days later, Guan Feng brought more than a hundred confidants to Bazhou.

The defenders in the city did not doubt that he was the one who said he was ordered to return to the capital and had no precaution at all.

Unexpectedly, on that night, he led his men to raid the north gate of the city, killed dozens of goalkeepers, opened the closed city gate, and put tens of thousands of Guirong cavalry who had already been waiting outside the city into the city.

This is a huge change that has not happened in the century in the founding of the Great Yue Kingdom. Although there are 40,000 defenders in Bazhou City, they are scattered in various parts of the city. Once the city is broken, there is no time to react. Several important yamen and command posts can be broken. The relevant civil and military officials either died in battle or were captured. Only the prefect Ding Huan escaped from the city while the chaos...

But this was just the beginning of the chaos in the northern border. At the end of this winter month, many rebellions and ruined the city occurred in other places.

Dingzhou, Yunzhou, Huazhou... Seven border cities were successively attacked by Guirong cavalry. Only when the accident occurred in Huazhou City responded in a timely manner can the city be saved. All the other six cities were attacked by the enemy, and countless soldiers, generals and officials were killed and injured.

A century of peace and a century of strength have long forgotten what border troubles are like as fierce as a tiger, and what is losing the city and losing the land. Even the people in the border town have never truly experienced such terrorist attacks.
