The pride of rejecting the late emperor was what kept him going.

That pride is narcissism about one's own abilities.

But now.

This pride was shattered by the hands of Yang Guogong in front of him.

Essays, poems and songs are far behind him.

In terms of governance, Yang Xuan transformed Northern Xinjiang from a passive place to be attacked into Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall to counterattack Northern Liao, and he was even worse.

In terms of martial arts, Yang Xuan defeated the city he was guarding with one strike.

The things he was so proud of were useless in front of this man!

Zhang Yi lowered his head.

"able!"

…

After the three Ningxing forces decided to join forces, they immediately sent reinforcements.

Before the forward commander Helianshen set off, the chief general Heliandu conveyed the emperor's message: the expansion momentum in northern Xinjiang must be curbed.

This is the purpose of this trip.

Stay steady and then you can counterattack.

Helianshen hurried along calmly until he met the messenger sent by Zhang Yi. After learning that troops were dispatched from Northern Xinjiang, he immediately accelerated his march.

"stop!"

The scene of 20,000 cavalry riding their horses together is very spectacular. The sound of the horses neighing makes people feel like they are in a jungle, surrounded by beasts.

Helianshen dismounted, patted the horse's back and said, "Let the soldiers rest."

In fact, it is to let the war horses rest.

People can continue to march, but war horses cannot. Once the intensity of the march is too great, they will fall to death at any time.

Therefore, in many cases, horses are inferior to people.

When everyone dismounts, the first thing they do is feed the horses.

Feed some of the essence you brought and give the war horse some water...

"Tomorrow, our army will arrive at Longhua Prefecture." The deputy general came up, "According to Zhang Yi, they can at least hold on until the day after tomorrow. It's too late to be sure."

"I know." Helianshen patted his sore buttocks, "His messenger arrived in a hurry, and he didn't say who was leading the Northern Xinjiang Army."

"I said it was less than ten thousand."

"That's the striker!"

"I don't know if Yang Gou is out of the battle."

"According to my calculation, to attack a state, he must go into battle. Otherwise, it will be difficult for his generals to coordinate."

"He was criticized by Chang'an as Yang Ni. He has a weak foundation. It is his instinct to control the army."

"You underestimated him." Helianshen didn't like the sentiment of underestimating the enemy. "If he doesn't have a strong foundation, he won't dare to lead the army. Otherwise, if he steps forward, someone will cause trouble and join forces with the outside world to take over Northern Xinjiang. Let him

Become a lost dog."

This is what Chang'an wanted to do, and what Ning Xing wanted to do, but unfortunately he tried several times but failed.

"If he attacks Longhua Prefecture, he will not have more than 30,000 troops under his command. Otherwise, the food and grass consumption will be too great, and the already small family will be even worse." The deputy general smiled sarcastically.

"The key now is whether Zhang Yi can hold on until the future." Helianshen was a little dissatisfied, "This man is proud, and proud people have to pretend to be fat even if they are embarrassed. I hope he can stabilize."

"The reinforcements are not far away. He only needs this news to boost his morale."

"This is what I feel reassured about."

A general came to ask for instructions, "Please be careful, how long will you rest?"

According to the rules, you should rest for half an hour.

"An hour!"

"yes!"

Helianshen judged that Zhang Yi could hold out until the day after tomorrow, so he gave his subordinates a little more rest.

"That's fine." the deputy general said, "Maybe we will encounter the Northern Xinjiang Army tomorrow. If we rest more now, the soldiers can recover more."

"Eat!" Helianshen sat down.

There isn't much to eat. The weather is hot and food goes bad easily. The best thing is dry biscuits.

The generals also have dried meat, which tastes great when paired with dry biscuits.

Helianshen was eating dry food and suddenly ordered: "Tell the scouts to pay attention to the two wings."

Yang Gou liked ambushes the most. That time, he came to encircle the Tanzhou Army for reinforcements, and he learned a painful lesson.

"yes!"

After eating the dry food, Helianshen squinted for a while.

But my mind was filled with all kinds of news before departure.

The emperor and Lin Ya reached a compromise, and the eldest princess nodded. The situation had never been better. On this trip, Lin Ya argued against all opinions and pointed out that they could not advance rashly, but should first stabilize the southern front line, and then wait for opportunities to counterattack.

The emperor pointed out that the purpose of this battle is to recapture Neizhou and Kunzhou. After recapturing these two states, if there is still strength left, we can attack all parts of northern Xinjiang.

This gave the commander-in-chief a great deal of freedom.

Can you defeat Yang Gou?

This question hangs over the court.

Lin Ya spoke with high spirits about why she must win this battle.

Daliao has never been so united. The united Daliao has been fighting all over the Central Plains in history, and it has been like this from the Chen Kingdom to the early days of the Tang Dynasty.

These words gave great encouragement to the monarchs, ministers and soldiers.

yes!

The Liao Dynasty that once shocked the world!

It's time to come back!

The past situation of each working independently, constraining each other, and being unable to exert its fullest strength should come to an end!

Helianshen knew that the current unity was temporary, and when Northern Xinjiang was defeated, this alliance would also come to an end.

But enough!

Without Northern Xinjiang, Datang was like a stripped beauty, while Daliao was like a rough man...

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Helian Shen let out a sigh of relief.

An hour is up.

"Set off."

Twenty thousand cavalrymen started on their way.

Time passes.

"Northern Xinjiang Army scout found!"

The scout brought bad news.

"It means Longhua Prefecture is surrounded." The deputy general said, "Yang Gou is inquiring about reinforcements."

"Our whereabouts have been exposed, Yang Gou will speed up the siege." Helianshen turned around, "Inform the entire army that time does not wait for us, hurry up and rescue Longhuazhou!"

"Attack!"

The army was dispatched, and not long after, they saw the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army who looked like a pack of wolves.

They cruise in front and circle their opponents. When their opponents surround them, they flee. When their opponents pursue them, they circle around.

Look, she looks like she is walking a dog!

"It's a powerful enemy!" Helianshen took a look and said.

This was his first contact with the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"Expulsion!"

There is no need to go to war and expel a small group of scouts.

A troop of cavalry went up.

The Northern Xinjiang Army scouts immediately fled far away.

The cavalrymen cursed.

However, their yelling and cursing gradually subsided.
To be continued...
