Call of the Deer

Chapter 350 The Northern Expedition of the Army, the Debate on "Rumours"

Two days later, Wei Qing, who was far away in Qianzhou King City, finally arrived at Yanhuang King City with his army.

The next day, when a round of purple sun rose from the eastern sky, a hundred thousand troops gathered outside Yanhuang City.

Bei Minghao wore the Nine Nether Emperor Underworld Armor, hung the Heavenly Sword at his waist, and wore a blue cloak. He rode the Nine Nether Dragon Horse and walked out of Yanhuang City first.

Bei Minghao's face was solemn, exuding a menacing aura all over his body, his tiger eyes looked ahead indifferently.

The thirteen warriors behind him are riding on top horses, wearing battle armor and holding warriors in their hands, their aura is like a rainbow.

"Zilong, are you ready?"

Bei Minghao's expression remained unchanged, he glanced slightly at the [-] troops lined up in front of him, and said indifferently.

"Reporting to my lord, the army has assembled and is ready to go at any time!"

Zhao Yun stepped forward slightly, leaned over and spoke.

"Wei Qing and Long, please obey the order. I order you two to lead an army of [-] troops. As a vanguard, set off immediately!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Long Qi and Wei Qing immediately came out and responded loudly, then rode their horses and set off with an army of [-].

"Zhang Hao, Yang Dayan, Yang Yanzhao, and Wu Song listen to the order and order the four of you to be the rear army, command an army of [-], and escort food and grass without any mistakes!"

"The last general takes orders!"

The four rushed out, like tigers and wolves, their voices were sonorous and powerful, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

"The others are ready, and after half an hour, they all set off with the lonely king."

Half an hour later, Bei Minghao led an army of [-] in an orderly manner towards Dashiguan
Qinzhou, Hengyuan City.

Since Xuanwu City was burned down by Bei Minghao, Li Shimin had to move to Hengyuan City and make Hengyuancheng his new capital.

"Thank you both, for your hard work, we share a commonwealth, and the lonely king respects both of you."

After the previous injury, Li Shimin's vitality was severely injured, and he spent months building the damaged city wall, settling down the people of Qinzhou, and recuperating.

At the same time, Guo Ziyi from Yunzhou was transferred back to lead Qinzhou's military and develop secretly.

Su Lie was sent to Dingzhou, accompanied by Nan Qiyun and Gao Shilian, mainly to guard against Yue Fei in Yuexi County in the north.

And Hou Junji and Li Siye were sent to Yunzhou to guard against Xiao Yan and Dong Cheng of Cangzhou.

During this period of time, two important figures came to Zhongzhou Jixia Academy.

These two called Wen Zhong first, and Fan Li the other, both of them were good planners.

"My lord, you are being polite. My lord's name is like thunder. I have heard about it in Jixia Academy. I yearn for it, but I have not completed my studies, so this delays the trip."

Wen Zhong was a little humble, and at the same time he was full of compliments. On the contrary, Fan Li didn't speak, but waved his hands humbly.

"Hahaha, sir, I have won the award. I am grateful to you two for not giving up. I am lucky to be alone. I will rely on you from now on."

Looking at the two great talents, as well as Lu Wenlong and Wang Yanzhang who came to join him, Li Shimin was elated and couldn't help but feel happy.

"Of course, I am really flattered that General Wang and General Lu can come to meet each other. Come, Gu Wang respects the two generals."

"My lord, you are being polite. To be appreciated by my lord is a blessing for the last generation of cultivators."

Since the defeat of Pingshan City, Wang Yanzhang and Lu Wenlong, with a small number of soldiers, went west to Dingzhou and defected to Li Shimin.

But today, Li Shimin hosted a banquet for the officials, one to welcome the two great counselors who came to Dongzhou, and the other to discuss a major event that suddenly spread in Qinzhou recently.

"By the way, there have been rumors in various counties and counties in the streets and alleys recently. I think you have heard of it a long time ago. What do you think?"

Suddenly, Li Shimin paused, his expression became rather dignified, and he spoke.

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and then they all looked at the people around them, talking about it
"Wen Zhong, what do you think?"

Li Shimin looked at Wen Zhong sitting in the private seat, and stared at him with great interest.

"Reporting to my lord, the rumors on the street have been heard by me and brother Fan Li on the way here. According to my opinion, it is likely to be true!"

When Wen Zhong saw Li Shimin's question, he was slightly taken aback, then got up from his seat, walked in the middle, and started talking.

"Oh, how do you see it?"

"The northern border of Mengzhou has been occupied by the Hu people from the north for a long time, and their roots are deep-rooted. When the cold current hits the south, they must not be able to withstand it, so they went south to plunder, and even planned to take Mengzhou from our Han people."

"Besides, with the power of the princes in the southern part of Mengzhou, it is not easy to stick to the present. I heard that Murong Xuehu, the King of Northern Yan, is the reincarnation of the God of War, and it should all be due to this person."

Wen Zhong combined his previous experience and what he heard on the road, and expressed his views in detail.

"Oh, in your opinion, who published this rumor?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded slightly, thinking it made sense.

"My lord, please forgive my disrespect. My lord, who is the most powerful in Dongzhou?"

Wen Zhong cupped his hands slightly, opened his mouth to plead guilty, staring at Li Shimin with bright eyes.

When Li Shimin heard this, he was slightly displeased, and then he spoke quite calmly.

"Hehe, the original text, maybe I don't know, this Dongzhou is undoubtedly the most powerful Yanhuang King Bei Minghao, and the lonely king is under him"

"Well, that's right, so Bei Yanwang sent someone to ask for help, and he will definitely go to Bei Minghao for help, and Bei Minghao is afraid that he will go north and be taken advantage of by the lord, so he will not dare to act rashly."

"If Bei Minghao wants to go north, he must let the lord and other princes of Dongzhou follow him to go north. Only in this way can he feel relieved, and then he can mobilize public opinion and use the general trend of public opinion to push the princes of Dongzhou."

The language analysis is clear and logical, and the meaning of Bei Minghao is thoroughly analyzed.

"Hey, this Bei Minghao is really treacherous, I don't know if there is a countermeasure for the language?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin gasped, and seemed a little shocked. He didn't expect Bei Minghao to be so "despicable".

"Please forgive me for my incompetence. This is a conspiracy and there is no solution, because in the face of national justice, if the lord retreats, it will definitely chill the hearts of the people in the world at dawn. At that time, the reputation will plummet and the great cause will be hopeless."

Wen Zhong's face was very solemn, and there was a hint of shame in his eyes.

"There are capable people under Bei Minghao's command. This time, I strongly recommend that the lord make preparations early and send reinforcements to the north, because before the national righteousness, we and the Han people must work together to prevent being taken advantage of by foreigners."

At this moment, Fan Li, who was sitting next to Wen Zhong, suddenly spoke. In words, he strongly urged Li Shimin to prepare early and send reinforcements to the north.

"Brother Fan's words are correct. Regardless of Bei Minghao's purpose in spreading rumors, Brother Fan's words are correct: In the face of national justice, the Han people must work together to resist foreign humiliation!"

After hearing Fan Li's words, Xu Shiji and Mo Puzhong had a flash of light, and he also stood up and spoke.

After hearing this, Li Shimin fell into deep thought, neither speaking nor continuing to ask questions.

After a long time, he opened his mouth quietly.

"Guo Ziyi, prepare to train the army and prepare for going north"

"Fang Xuanling, get ready, half a month later, you will replace me as an envoy to Huangzhou to discuss the matter of the Northern Aid."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin left on his own.
