Chapter 64 The Beacon Fire to Pegasus Return
…
…
Let's go back in time to the present.
After Mu Qiuhuang realized the heart of the eagle and dog, she couldn't help but feel reassured.
He and Tan Baiming returned to the border town of Tingzhou. They had just sat down not long ago. Just as Tan Baiming volunteered to lead his three hundred troops to escort Mu Qiuhuang back to Yunzhou, he also wanted to apologize to his adoptive father Mu Qingen.
At that time, news suddenly came that Yunjiu Army soldiers were approaching the border.
Shocked by the news, Mu Qiuhuang's heart suddenly froze. At this time, it was no longer a matter of whether he wanted to think about it, but that various signs were moving closer to the truth... In fact, Marquis Yunjiu also knew
There was news that he didn't know. If his father was fine, how could he dare to attack Tai Sui even if he borrowed the courage of an ambitious Yunjiuhou? You know, his Yunjiu army was inferior to that of Beiyu's army.
Like an unweaned child.
Yunzhou border town.
"I think Marquis Yunjiu is looking for death. Our Beiyu army has not yet settled the accounts with them for ambushing the young master. Now he actually dares to come here to provoke..." Tan Baiming said angrily.
Mu Qiuhuang knew that the reason why he was so rude was because of what happened before. In his opinion, the reason why his brother colluded with Yunjiu Army to ambush him was because he must have been instigated by Marquis Yunjiu. Therefore, he and
Yun Jiujun already had the hatred of killing his younger brother. Who would have thought that before he could vent his anger to Yun Jiujun, Yun Jiujun came to him himself.
"Talking to Fourth Brother, calm down, let's listen first and then talk." Mu Qiuhuang said.
Only then did Tan Baiming realize that he had just been blinded by anger and had not even asked the most basic things clearly. He couldn't help but look at the scout general and asked: "How many soldiers and horses does the Yunjiu Army have?
Who is handsome?"
"General, looking at the number of Yunjiu's arms and flags, I'm afraid there are no less than 200,000 people. The golden flag is hoisted in the center of the team, and the totem on the flag is a tiger descending from the mountain..." the scout general responded quickly.
After hearing this, Tan Baiming and Mu Qiuhuang looked at each other and were both shocked.
Although the Yunjiu Army only has twenty troops on the surface. However, since the death of the old master Situ Changqing and the rebellion of Murong Yan, the Marquis of Dongche, various princes have already put aside the original prohibition of the imperial court and began to expand.
Army. Judging from Yunjiu's overall economic strength, they should be able to expand the army to 100,000. In other words, Yunjiu's army should have a total of more than 300,000 as of now. But even so, Yunjiu dispatched this time
The 200,000-strong army, which can be said to be using all its strength, is approaching fiercely. Not to mention, in the center of the army, there is the tiger descending the mountain totem on the golden flag. As mentioned before, the tiger descending the mountain totem flag is the same as Beiyu.
The Phoenix on Fire totem flag is the same. It represents the glory of the family with the surname. Except for the contemporary marquis sitting in the marquis mansion, only their family heirs have the right to use it.
"Have you ever seen clearly the word 'cloud' on the golden flag?" Tan Baiming asked.
After hearing this, the scout carefully recalled it and then said: "General, in addition to the tiger descending mountain totem, the golden flag also has the word 'cloud'."
"What? Are you sure?" Tan Baiming asked quickly.
"My subordinate confirmed it is correct," the scout confirmed.
"Okay, you go down first and continue to investigate." Tan Baiming ordered.
After the scouts retreated, Tan Baiming sighed to himself and said
: "I didn't expect that old man Yun Shang to personally take charge?"
Immediately, Tan Baiming glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, knelt down on the ground, and said: "Young Master, forgive me, but Yunjiu's army is pressing down on the country right now. The general is entrusted by his adoptive father, and he does not dare to let him down. So.
, the general may not be able to personally escort the young master back to Yunzhou. He has no choice but to have the three hundred personal troops of the general accompany him..."
"Brother Tan Tan, please get up quickly."
Mu Qiuhuang quickly helped Tan Baiming up and said, "In this situation, even if Fourth Brother Tan doesn't tell me, I won't let Fourth Brother Tan accompany him."
"Thank you, young master." Tan Baiming glanced at Mu Qiuhuang gratefully. Then he called his own soldiers and ordered: "Listen, we must protect the young master's safe arrival. From this time on, the order is issued, and only the young master's
It’s your destiny to obey.”
"General, take your orders." The guard responded, and then he bowed to Mu Qiuhuang and said, "I and the three hundred people of 'Fei Bai' are here to listen to the young master's orders."
"No." Mu Qiuhuang waved her hand, turned to Tan Baiming and said, "I appreciate Fourth Brother Tan's kindness. But now that the war is about to begin, how can you not have 'Fei Bai' by your side? I have my own blood."
Huang Qi has returned to Yunzhou, but I just want Brother Four to replace us with a batch of war horses."
"Young Master, no."
Tan Baiming stopped and said, if he was still doubtful about the changes in Yunzhou after Mu Qiuhuang was assassinated, then now the Yunjiu Army soldiers are pressing down on the border, which is enough to show that there are changes in Yunzhou. And Mu Qiuhuang passed the scene just now.
After the ambush, there were only more than 300 Blood Phoenix Banner soldiers left, and all of them were injured. If they went back like this, they would be throwing themselves into a trap.
Mu Qiuhuang glanced at Tan Baiming gratefully and said, "Brother Tan, you can rest assured to defend yourself against the enemy here. You don't have to worry about me. Although the number of people around me is small, they are all martial arts masters. Besides, with Mr. Gu by my side,
Even if there is any accident, it won't be a problem to protect me and escape safely."
Hearing that Gu Chenyuan was accompanying him, Tan Baiming was also reassured. However, only Mu Qiuhuang and his party knew that after Gu Chenyuan experienced a battle with Miaojiang ghosts and witch gods, he was now seriously injured and was no longer in the heavenly realm.
His strength is even inferior to that of a few of them.
"Young Master..." Bai Ming wanted to say something else.
Mu Qiuhuang also looked firmly and said: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say anything."
Mu Qiuhuang immediately said: "Now that the army is approaching, as the commander, you should find a way to deal with the enemy in front of you first! Although the overall combat strength of the individual soldiers of Yunjiu Army is much inferior to that of our Beiyu Army, at the moment, their
The number of people is more than four times that of our army, not to mention that Yunjiu Hou is personally in command. It seems that Yunjiu army has a big plot in this battle. Fourth brother, you should be careful here, not to defeat the enemy, but to protect yourself.
.After I return to Yunzhou, I will immediately inform my father about sending more troops to Tingzhou..."
Although Mu Qiuhuang had prepared for the worst at this time, before he received the exact news, he still had hope in his heart... and did not want to think about it in that aspect.
"Yes." Tan Baiming saw that Mu Qiuhuang had made up his mind and said no more. Now that Yunjiu's army was approaching, as the coach, he did still have many things to prepare in advance.
"Take the blood phoenix flag sergeant to pick up the horses." Tan Baiming ordered towards his personal troops.
"Yes." His personal troops were taking orders and leaving.
"Tan Fourth Brother, you go to march and set up the formation first. Don't pay attention to me. I will finish selecting the horses later."
After that, I will rush back to Yunzhou directly... I still say the same thing, be careful. After I return to Yunzhou, I will report to my father what happened here as soon as possible and increase the army for you." Mu Qiuhuang said.
"Well," Tan Baiming nodded, and then said righteously: "Don't worry, young master. Since ancient times, soldiers have valued elites rather than large numbers, especially when fighting with large armies. Don't forget that not long ago, the crazy tiger entered the grassland north, but
An army of 50,000 was used to slaughter 300,000 people on the grassland. Although the general is not as self-possessed as the crazy tiger, he still has the confidence to prevent Yunjiu's army from crossing our border in Beiyu..."
"Report..." While the two were talking, another scout hurried over.
Mu Qiuhuang glanced at Tan Baiming and said, "Military affairs are our top priority, so I won't disturb Fourth Brother Tan."
"Young Master, take care." Tan Baiming gave Mu Qiuhuang a military salute.
…
After a short rest, the blood phoenix flag sergeant was not as embarrassed as before. However, Mu Qiuhuang was even more anxious at this time, so in order to hurry up, he did not take all the blood phoenix flag sergeant away, but left them behind
The one hundred and seven seriously injured people were killed... At this point, except for Gu Chenyuan, Dongxue and Taoist Qingya, Mu Qiuhuang's blood phoenix flag sergeants were only in their early 200s.
However, he did not feel much fear about the road ahead. Beiyu is known as an army of 300,000 tigers and wolves, but in fact, Beiyu has also expanded its army in recent years, and now has a total of 400,000 troops. And these 400,000 troops
The six giants of Beiyu each support an army of 50,000, while the remaining 100,000 troops are supported by the three cities of Yun, Mu, and Zhou, which are directly under Mu Qingen's control. The six giants each support an army of 50,000, and they also support the army of 50,000.
However, except for Qi Sanbao's Leizhou and Tan Baiming's Tingzhou, which belong to the border area, and the tiger talisman is often placed with them, they have the power to make temporary decisions in case of war and kill first and then report. The remaining four have no control over the armies they support.
He has no right to mobilize. If he wants to mobilize the army, he must first ask Mu Qingen to get the Tiger Talisman.
This is also the reason why Mu Qiuhuang's heart is temporarily calm. In his opinion, the Three Eagle Dogs have surrendered to him. And the Blood Phoenix Tie Kuangyun, needless to say, his loyalty is still higher than that of the Three Eagle Dogs. The only one
What worries him is the "Two Tigers". However, because of the ironclad order, the Two Tigers cannot openly mobilize their troops to leave the country... But now, even if there are changes in Yunzhou, the only thing he has to deal with is
There are only the 10,000 city defenders in Yunzhou. Although Yunzhou City has always been managed by the mother and son, he has also hidden a lot of backup forces over the years, not to mention, Su Xiaoxiao had previously
He even returned to Yunzhou to be the governor. He was also full of confidence in the former "Yan Zu" and the current "Huang Ling". But... Now that Huang Ling has not given him any news, he is a little uneasy and can't help but
I started to worry about Su Xiaoxiao.
"drive."
At this thought, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but whip the horse as he dismounted, increasing the horse's galloping speed again... Seeing this, Can Yun and his party also speeded up.
"Master, please don't worry too much..." Dong Xue said to comfort her.
"I'm fine." Mu Qiuhuang shook her head, and then said: "Go and look after Mr. Hao, I'm afraid he may not be able to bear it."
"My old bones haven't fallen apart so easily. You can go on your way without worrying about me." At some point, Gu Chenyuan also drove his horse to Mu Qiuhuang's side.
Although Taoist Qingya didn't say anything, the look in his eyes when he looked at Mu Qiuhuang said everything.
