Become a feudal king from today

The palace. read

In the meeting hall, after Xu Ke urgently reported a military situation, Zhao Xu suddenly fell asleep.

Originally, he was sleeping soundly when the maid knocked on the door of his bedroom.

After Feng'er inquired, he learned that Xu Hark asked for a meeting.

"The Beidi army is advancing towards Tongguan?" Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, Your Highness, Xiaguan planted an informant in the grassland and detected the movement in Beidi. When the news was sent to Xiaguan, it was also sent to General Chang Wei at the same time." Xu Ke said.

Like Xiliang, there are also a large number of chanters in Beidi.

These Song people were either from Ningjin Dusi, or they were plundered from Da Song before Beidi.

Beidi merchants often enslaved these great people.

The situation of these people in Beidi is miserable, but they have no way to escape.

Taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of Beidi's benefactors with Beidi, he successfully bribed several benefactors.

He promised to help them escape Beidi as long as they were willing to provide information.

The Beidi army was dispatched because of the information they provided.

"Your Fourth Hospital did a great job this time." Zhao Xu looked serious.

If the information reaches him first and then passes through his hands to Chang Wei's hands, I'm afraid something big will be missed.

"Thank you for your compliments, Your Highness." Xu Hark arched his body.

Zhao Xu nodded. This incident once again proved that information was important.

Otherwise, many conspiracies were happening under his nose, but he didn't know it at all.

After pondering for a while, he said: "I will ask the government to continue to increase the financial expenditure on your four courtyards. Don't be afraid of spending money. You must establish an intelligence network for me that covers the entire Dasong, and every day from now on. I want to submit an intelligence document to the king every month, and everything must be written on it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Ke was delighted.

Although hot pot restaurants are very popular in Yancheng.

But as the number of people in the Fourth Academy expanded from dozens to hundreds, and then to thousands, money was spent like water.

After all, there is no price that makes them tempted to buy various people, but they can't get it.

What's more, in order to protect the identity of the members of the Fourth Academy, one has to open a shop, set up an identity, etc., which is a waste of money.

After reporting this important information, Tsui Hark wisely resigned.

He knew that His Highness King Yan would make corresponding arrangements next.

Zhao Xu watched Xu Ke leave, and then said to Feng'er: "Send someone to go to Beida Camp to call Lu Chang."

Feng'er left in response.

Not long after, Lu Chang strode into the meeting hall.

He did not go to the battle in Jinzhou this time, but stayed in Yancheng to guard it.

Although he was unwilling to do so, this was Chang Wei's order and he did not dare to disobey it.

When he learned that King Yan had called him, he was as happy as if he had drunk two ounces of wine.

It must be something big for King Yan to call him so early.

"Your Highness, is there a battle to be fought?" Seeing Zhao Xu, Lu Chang saluted and asked with bright eyes.

"That's right, at least three royal troops are currently attacking Tongguan in Jinzhou. You should immediately send people to Yanguan to bring back 20,000 veterans, and then gather 10,000 new soldiers from Yancheng to go to Jinzhou. , join forces with Chang Wei, and seize Tongguan before Beidi," Zhao Xu said in a rapid-fire manner, while sneering in his heart.

Beidi now sent troops in a hurry to verify his guess.

He must have defeated the Xiliang soldiers in Jinzhou so quickly, leaving them in a hurry.

They wanted to follow the oriole, but the oriole obviously came too late.

Of course, there is still danger if Chang Wei cannot win the same level in time.

This battle in Jinzhou was in vain for him.

Lu Chang's excited expression suddenly turned serious.

He guessed that something big was going on, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

But although there was no smile on his face, he felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head.

He must take part in the fight against Beidi.

"Yes, Your Highness, General Mo will go right away." He clasped his fists heavily, turned around and ran out.

…

South of Yinshan Mountain.

Iron Wood Tower looked at the white clouds and mist lingering among the mountains without any appreciation.

They have been waiting here quietly, constantly inquiring about the battle situation in Jinzhou.

As a result, what they waited for was that Xiliang's entire army was annihilated and Jincheng was conquered.

The general Chang Wei under the command of King Yan is marching towards Tongguan.

When he heard the news, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

According to his idea, King Yan should engage in a protracted siege battle with Xiliang in Jincheng.

Until both sides are defeated, it is the time for them to send troops.

After all, it would be too early to send troops, and neither of them would be injured.

But he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, King Yan would take Jincheng, and the war would be one-sided.

Now, no matter whether it is Xiliang or Beidi, the only hope is to be in the same pass.

With Tongguan present, they can still enter Jinzhou, but without Tongguan, they will be blocked from Tongguan.

On the contrary, Dasong will be able to advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

He would never tolerate this.

So he immediately decided to send his troops south and capture Tongguan.

In front of Tiemu Pagoda are the three kings of the royal tent.

Behind them were 150,000 Beidi cavalry and 250,000 servants.

"How far is it from Tongguan?" Tiemuta turned around and looked to the southeast.

The Yinshan Mountains are connected to the Yancheng Mountains, starting from the north of Jinzhou and extending westward to Liangzhou.

However, there is no direct way from the grassland to the Tongguan pass from Yinshan. You need to detour to the Hetao grassland in the northeast of Liangzhou.

From here go to Tongguan.

"There are about two days left." Lang Lu next to him replied.

Temuta nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Speed ​​up the march. We must capture Tongguan before King Yan's soldiers and horses capture it." Tiemuta said.

For King Yan, without Tongguan, Beidi could enter and leave Jinzhou at will, and Jinzhou would never have peace again.

As for Beidi, if King Yan took over this place, he could naturally enter and leave the grassland at will.

Although they are not afraid of Yanzhou's cavalry, at least it is a trouble.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Not long after, the sound of the horn suddenly resounded throughout the sky.

The Beidi cavalry surged up, like a black river surging on the grassland.

Temuta looked at Yinshan again, tightened the reins, flicked his whip hard, and headed towards Tongguan.
