Chapter 192: Youzhou is in a hurry

Views:

Qin Meng felt sorrow and grief in his heart, and he wanted to persuade Asnaruoyan, who was about to cry, but found that he couldn't help crying too.

Taking a look at Ashina Luoyan affectionately, Qin Meng whispered, turned his horse's head, and disappeared into the cloud-like flying army.

Qin Meng's mood was a little lost, so rushing to Dunhuang was not a rush. Instead, they travel at the speed of the general army traveling army.

After half a month's journey, there are still more than six hundred miles from Dunhuang on this day. Suddenly someone came to report that it was the deputy general of the Feixiao Army, Yang Guang, who had come to see him.

Qin Meng was a little surprised, Yang Guang sent a card officer to look for him, it must be that something happened to him, otherwise. Wouldn't send someone out of the Great Wall to run so far to find him.

When I saw the official Yang Guang, the official handed a secret letter to Qin Meng.

Qin Meng opened it and saw that it was the latest military report sent by Yang Guang.

Gao Baoning, the former governor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, occupies the Youzhou, the west can connect with Turks, the east can be good for Goguryeo, and the south can communicate with the Central Plains.

Since Qin Meng advised Yang Lin to impose a strategic blockade on Gao Baoning, the passage to the south was blocked, and the westward connection to the Turkic route was repeatedly attacked. Gao Baoning had only to go east and communicate with Goguryeo, and his business was bleak.

The leader of Youzhou, the chief governor of Yujuluo, carried out Supervisor Yang Lin's intention to block Gao Baoning. Troops were sent to harass the connection between Gao Baoning and Goguryeo, so that Gao Baoning was like a beast in the house. At the end of July, he sent 100,000 troops to attack the Youzhou area.

Although Yujuluo has an army of 200,000, it suffers from a long defense line and requires garrisons to defend every important place.

Gao Baoning's army also knew that it was difficult to resist Yujuluo's elite, so they specially selected Youzhou's first-line defense to start at weak points, and waited for Yujuluo's elite to be dispatched. Immediately evacuated, Youzhou defense, miserable.

Yu Juluo passed by to Yang Lin and asked the Feixiao army to help out. He didn’t want most of the Feixiao army to go to the grassland. Yang Lin ordered the Feixiao army to be dispatched. Yang Guang was helpless and it was worth splitting half of his only two thousand troops. , To help the fish.

Qin Meng took a look. I feel that the situation is serious. He took most of the main force of the Feixiao Army into the grassland, but he did not get the consent of the Supervisor Yang Lin.

Although the Turkic Tribal Alliance had gained a lot of money at the meeting of the Turkic Tribal Alliance, as soon as something happened in Youzhou, Yang Lin, as a supervising army, would definitely be responsible.

Thinking of this, Qin Meng hurriedly ordered. Travel day and night, get to Dunhuang as soon as possible.

In Dunhuang, Yang Guang is already like an ant on a hot pot, and the northern border is peaceful. Although Yang Lin is responsible, the Feixiao Army has high hopes from the court to protect the country's tranquility.

Against the Turks, the Feixiao Army must have done a good job, but if something happens on the front line of Youzhou. Inevitably, the imperial court will criticize the Feixiao Army.

Seeing Qin Meng, Yang Guang was finally relieved. With the return of the main force and the return of the Feixiao Army's backbone, everything will be resolved.

"How is the latest battle?" Qin Meng met with Yang Guang. Signaling not to see the salute, the two walked into the barracks, and when they arrived at the big tent, Qin Meng asked about the battle.

Yang Guang unfolded the map and pointed to the area of Youzhou: "Today, Gao Baoning's army is in the east of Youzhou, scouring more than ten cities, burning, killing and looting, and the momentum is quite fierce."

"How did the Fish Governor respond?"

"The Yudu Supervisor led the elite of his subordinates to prepare for a decisive battle with Gao Baoning's army. But Gao Baoning's team was very slippery. As soon as the Yudu Governor came out. He immediately led the team to the east and moved closer to Goguryeo. Goguryeo might have secretly communicated with Gao Baoning. Send a large army to display and look at the Yudu Army in the northeast. If the Yudu Governor attacked Gao Baoning, he would be attacked from the side and be attacked from two sides. Therefore, he had to withdraw. When the Yudu Governor withdrew, Gao Baoning sent his troops westward and continued to harass You. State frontline."

"What's the command of the army supervisor?"

"The Master Supervisor is good, knowing that we sent troops to stabilize the Turks. Therefore, the Feixiao Army arbitrarily mobilized the army to go north to the Great Wall without prosecution. The War in Youzhou, Master Supervisor said that the battle was complicated, and waited for the general to return. Take a long-term view."

"Where is Master Supervisor?"

"Currently in Youzhou, together with the Yudu Governor, we are jointly responding to the Youzhou War."

Qin Meng thought for a while and said: "Leave four thousand flying troops here, Xie Yun is the chief officer, Zhou Lie is the adjutant, Jin Wang, you and this general, and the rest of the flying troops, rush to Youzhou immediately, and then make a decision. ."

Yang Guang took the order, went out immediately, and arranged the march according to Qin Meng's general order.

Here in Dunhuang, regardless of the four thousand flying troops left, only two officers, Xie Yun and Zhou Lie, with excellent strength and experience were left.

Most of the powerful generals rushed to Youzhou with Qin Meng and Yang Guang.

When they arrived in Youzhou, Qin Meng and Yang Guang went to see Yang Lin in the palace commander's mansion.

Entering the main hall of the palace commander's mansion, Qin Meng was about to pay his respects, but he heard someone snorting violently. This hum, exuding strong dissatisfaction, attracted Qin Meng's gaze. (End of this chapter)
