Lord of Rebirth

Chapter 220 The Northern Expedition

The imperial decree came, ordering the prince to set off with an army.

There is also a military letter, the departure time, the marching route, the meeting point, including when and where to arrive, the notification report, etc. Everything is written in great detail.

Shen Xi looked at it and said, it must have come from the prime minister of the dynasty, Lu Jufeng.

There were still three days before their army set off, and Sun Moyao's armor had been prepared by Shen Xi and was in the house.

This is the first time the prince has led troops out for many years since he became the Prince of Liang, and the entire palace is very nervous.

Shen Xi had prepared everything early on, and when the prince changed into the military uniform that day, he would be able to follow the prince to the barracks and set off for the Northern Expedition with the army.

The day before he left, Sun Moyao stood in Yuanhongxuan, looked at Shen Xi who was preparing things, and said in a low voice, "Ziyuan, you should make up your mind, follow me, then there will be no peaceful days."

Shen Xi turned around and looked at him, "What? Don't you think I follow you just for the sake of peace?"

Sun Moyao laughed, and came to put his arms around Shen Xi, "I knew you would say that."

"I won't back down." Shen Xi said, "You said before that we would not separate, but now you dare not take me there? I will follow secretly and go too!"

Sun Moyao nodded, "I will never drive you away!"

Shen Xi turned around and hugged Sun Moyao, resting his head on his shoulder.He had guessed that there was such a day before, but he didn't expect that this day would actually appear in front of him so soon. Shen Xi felt a little hard to calm down. He was never a belligerent person, but since this day has come, Then he has to be ready for everything.

The preparations were completed, and on the day of departure, Sun Moyao was as dashing as he was a few years ago, riding a horse in front of an army of ten thousand people, his heroic appearance was radiant, as if this age had left no traces on him.

This time, Shen Xi rode a horse and hid far behind, instead of standing beside Sun Moyao.

Sun Moyao was the only one in this place.

The entire army knew of Shen Xi's existence and following.But none of the generals or soldiers felt anything strange.Some people know that he is a princess, and some people know his ability.For example, the matter of surrendering the four princes in Bashu, Yizhou, was also widely spread in the army.

So he followed the prince, as if no one would object.

The army set off, followed by a team of military vehicles transporting food and grass, and another team escorted them. As for their whereabouts, even Shen Xi didn't know.

Sun Moyao has a military document in his hand, only the emperor, General Wei Zhenyun and him know about it.Everything was written very carefully in the military book, and it was also a very important thing. Sun Moyao did not intend to show it to anyone, and Shen Xi would not ask to take a second look.

According to the plan, after about half a month of marching, they will be able to come to the Yellow River, which was originally the birthplace of their Nanshun Kingdom.

The land of the Central Plains was the first surviving disciples of the Nanshun Kingdom. They lived beside the Yellow River and watched the Yellow River turbulently rippling thousands of miles away.But just a hundred years ago, the northern barbarians invaded southward, and the army of Nanshun Kingdom was unable to resist, and gave up the northern country.Although the subsequent emperors wanted to regain the territory, they were unable to do so, and it dragged on until today.

Finally, Nanshun Kingdom was able to take a hard look today and went to conquer and take back the land that was originally its own.

Along the way, there were always military reports, about the transfer of troops in the Northern Li Kingdom, and about the direction of General Wei on the Eastern Front.

General Wei had already started the journey before them, and encountered the army of the Northern Li Kingdom in Zhan County, Bingzhou.

Although General Wei won this battle, he fought very hard, losing [-]% of his troops. It was a tough battle.He is not a roundabout character. Since the enemy has come in front of him, even if he meets head-on, he must win even if he sacrifices.

Reaping this good news, the army's morale was greatly boosted.

But Sun Moyao led the army and finally saw the Yellow River.

Looking at the torrential river, Shen Xi suddenly understood what was said in those poems, the nine-curved Yellow River is thousands of miles of sand, and the waves wash and the wind blows from the end of the world.

Probably many people were also shocked by the magnificent scene in front of them, and their hearts were very surging. They thought that it was their own territory, which had been occupied by other countries for so many years, and now it was time to return to the embrace of the motherland!

If you want to cross the river, you will naturally not go through such a steep place.But they came here not to cross the river, but to seize a very gentle section of the Yellow River. As long as they grab these two shallows, it will not be difficult for them to cross the river in front of them.

Shen Xi looked at the map, the shoal was just in front of them, but the distance of two days' travel, and now they came all the way very smoothly, and they didn't even encounter an enemy army. Apparently, Beili Kingdom also thinks that the terrain here is important, and has sent heavy troops The troops stationed there seemed to have given up on the vast expanse of barren land behind them.

A spy came back and reported that there were [-] troops stationed beside the Yellow River, and the surrounding patrol area was also one mile away. If they got closer, they would definitely be discovered.

Wang Ye looked at the terrain, even if he was attacking by outflanking, I'm afraid it would not be such a hard bone to gnaw off.

Shen Xi stood beside Sun Moyao looking at the map.

According to the report from the spies, the gentle section of the Yellow River is not long, and there are troops stationed on both sides of the river.Once the opposite bank is attacked, they must be able to cross the river immediately to support.

There are [-] troops stationed on this side of the bank, and I don't know what the situation on the other side is like.

And the [-] troops brought by the prince this time are now divided into three lines facing the Yellow River, stationed in the west, southwest and south respectively, waiting for the prince's instructions.

Sun Moyao's main camp set up camp beside a small hill on the southern line.

Mighty, very arrogant.

In Shen Xi's words, "Don't worry about whether the other party has figured out our location, because everyone has been prepared for this time, and you can't hide it if you sneak around, it will only increase your troubles. Moreover, the Beili army is not They have not acted, but they are not afraid of a stalemate with us, they are confident that they have enough rations to support us until we run out of ammunition and food. So we don’t have to be afraid, behind us is the entire Nanshun Kingdom, our hometown, and we also have backers.”

At this time, Sun Moyao and Shen Xi were thinking about what to do next in the main camp.

Sun Moyao said that according to the plan, they must occupy this place within two months and lead the army to continue northward.

Shen Xi stroked his chin and looked at the map on the table, "It's not very easy."

Sun Moyao still breathed a sigh of relief, hearing what Shen Xi said, there must be a way.

"If surrounded by..."

"Do you think they're afraid of being surrounded by you?"

Sun Moyao looked at the opponent's layout, obviously he was not afraid.

Shen Xi added, "Let's send spies to investigate again."

"it is good."

Two spies were sent out, and they came back after three days.This time I went to draw a relatively detailed map for them, and also brought them a piece of news.

It is said that there are two generals in the Beili garrison on both sides of the Yellow River.

Upon hearing this, several lieutenants following the prince all showed worried expressions, two generals!It seems that they really value this important land!How can they break through this barrier? !

Even the prince frowned, obviously realizing that what was ahead of them was definitely not a simple tough battle to be fought.

Shen Xi looked at both sides of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River gradually widened from the point where they came, and the flow rate of the river also gradually slowed down. It didn't become rough again until a forcible turn was made at a place a few miles away.

Therefore, this section is often the place where caravans must pass through, and naturally it is in peace.

But now that the two countries are at war, such an important river crossing place must be firmly occupied by their Beili Kingdom.Otherwise, if Nanshun's army wanted to cross the river again, they would have to go ten miles away, so how could they attack at both ends? !

"Two generals?" Shen Xi asked suddenly.

The spy nodded, "I overheard it from the patrolling officers and soldiers, but I won't say anything more about it."

Shen Xi looked at him, "Thank you for your hard work."

Sun Moyao came over, "What should I do?"

Shen Xi sighed, "It would be fine if the two generals didn't get along."

"Oh?" Sun Moyao seemed to understand something, "You want them to have a bad relationship? So we can take advantage of it? Why don't we send someone to sow discord..."

Shen Xi glanced at him, "Well, let's take a look at this again."

At least it is a good breakthrough, Shen Xi thought to himself, one servant does not serve two masters, one horse does not straddle two saddles, a military important site, with tens of thousands of troops in front and behind, but two generals are placed, so who is it up to?

It can be felt that the Beili army is very interested in this place, but they sent two troops here, I am afraid it is a bit too emphasized!

Seeing that Sun Moyao's brows seemed to have opened, Shen Xi knew in his heart what he was thinking.Maybe because of the influence of hearing this news, if I want to think about it simply, it's probably... not appropriate.

After all, he can think of this problem, but it is impossible for Bei Li Dajun not to notice this problem.If they could easily find a loophole in this news and directly defeat tens of thousands of troops, would it be that easy? !

Shen Xi knew that Sun Moyao was not the kind of person who would think things very simply at once, if he didn't have a vigilant heart, he would definitely not be able to lead the army further.

Indeed, Sun Moyao also understood what Shen Xi said, and he said to the spy, "Send someone to inquire again. If possible, it's best to infiltrate the army and try to find out more about these two generals." Things, but be careful in everything, if you are noticed, it must be to save your life!"

The spy quickly cupped his hands, "Yes!"

It will take more time to send spies there again.

The lieutenants left for their respective drills, and Sun Moyao was finally able to get close to Shen Xi at this moment, but he couldn't be too self-willed at this time, so he just put his arms around Shen Xi's waist, and didn't go any further.

"How to say?"

"My lord, haven't you sent someone to investigate again? Wait this time, maybe there will be better news waiting for us?"
