Chapter 1204

Although it's only 500 Li from Jincheng to the eldest son, it will take more than two days for a fast horse, because it's not easy to walk more than 100 li in the middle. At this time, Chen palace can only pray secretly that it will be in time.

The person in charge of the wolf pack left the prime minister's residence. Wei Xu and Li Feng rushed to the gate of the prime minister's residence. As soon as they got off their horses, nodded and said hello, they were led into the study of Chen Palace by the housekeeper of the prime minister's residence.

As soon as they entered the study, Wei Xu said, "prime minister, what's the matter

Chen Gong didn't say much. He led them to the map and explained their conjecture to them in detail. After listening to Chen Gong's words, they were both sweating. Wei Xulian said: "according to the meaning of the prime minister, what should we do?"

Although Li Feng didn't speak, he also looked at Chen Gong eagerly. At this time, Chen Gong had some preliminary ideas. In his mind, hearing Wei Xu's words, he said: "I guess that the Tang army should want to invade Shangdang through Baixing, so Taiyuan should not be dangerous, but the troops in the direction of bird and mouse valley should not be moved lightly, and the prime minister wants to continue to increase the troops, just in case. But now there are not many troops in the two prefectures, and most of Shangdang's troops are deployed in the southern Taihang Zhuxing pass. Even in the eldest son City, there are less than 4000 soldiers and horses, and there are 2000 cavalry. So I want to ask general Li to lead 10000 soldiers and horses to Shangdang as soon as possible to support Shangdang. It's best if we can keep the eldest son and the northern part of Shangdang. If we are not lazy, please ask the general to lead the troops to retreat to the northern part of Shangdang. If it's the worst, we must stay here. "

With that, Chen Gong's hand slapped down on the map. When they looked up, it was Nene county. Seeing this situation, they could not help taking a breath. Wei Xu said cautiously: "prime minister, will the situation worsen to such a situation?"

"This is not the worst result yet!" Chen Gong sighed for a long time and said, "Guowei, after General Li Feng took away 10000 troops, there are less than 20000 people left in Jinyang city. Please recruit soldiers immediately. At least another 20000 troops are needed. Although these new recruits can't attack the city or fight in the field, they have no problem defending the city. In addition, please send 3000 soldiers and 5000 men to go here. This was originally a pass called Nanguan, but it was in disrepair for a long time. Please send someone to repair it. If the upper party can't keep it, this is the most suitable place for Taiyuan to defend the Tang army. "

The place where Chen Gong pressed his finger was just one of the official roads connecting Shangdang and Taiyuan. It was located in the middle of Taiyue Mountain between Taiyuan and Shangdang. It was about 50 li away from Nei county and 80 li away from Qi county. It was an important place on the official road.

Seeing this, they also realized the seriousness of the matter. After Chen Gong's orders were finished, they solemnly took orders and left. For a moment, the city of Jinyang suddenly became lively. In the military camp in the south of the city, the sleeping taxi soldiers were awakened by the generals. Teams of taxi soldiers began to gather in the direction of the school yard under the torchlight. The armory in the King City was also opened, and cars of soldiers were waiting The armour weapons were sent to the barracks continuously.

The movement of the barracks in the city awakened the whole Jincheng City, and the residents in the city looked at the direction of the barracks in the south of the city, not knowing what had happened. After ten thousand soldiers left the camp, they left the South Gate of Jincheng from the torch and headed southeast.

No one found that on a small building near the barracks, there was a pair of eyes that saw all the changes in the barracks. A moment later, in the backyard of the small building, a flying deer soared in the dark. After turning around Jinyang City, it recognized the direction and flew to the south.

……

There are bound to be a lot of people sleepless tonight. As time goes by, in the valley 20 miles west of Gaoping pass, in the third shift, after the drum rang, the whole barracks moved quickly. There was no bugle to gather soldiers, but the soldiers on duty woke up the sleeping zepao tent by tent.

Soon after a group of taxi soldiers went to the kitchens to use the Korean food, they took two pieces of dried meat from the cooks at the door, stuffed the dried meat into their military robes, and then went to the school yard to gather.

Soon, five thousand cavalry and nine thousand iron Eagles left the camp and went to gaopingguan in the east by the moonlight, followed by three thousand soldiers and five thousand crossbow soldiers, and ten thousand soldiers went to gaopingguan with all the supplies after finishing the camp.

Lu Zhong was the commander of the vanguard's army. Because Tian Yu was the leader of the army, he could not be the vanguard himself. In addition, tie yingruishi was the main force in the war, so Lu Zhong was the vanguard general. In fact, if it is possible, Tian Yu really doesn't want Lu Zhong to be a pioneer general, because he is more than ten years older than Tian Yu.

Lu Zhong didn't think so. He saw that Tian Yu, who was less than 30 years old, had been with the king for nearly ten years. He became a battalion commander with his own ability. To put it mildly, he relied on his father's shadow to achieve today's success. But if he really wanted to become a marquis, he had to rely on his own ability. Didn't the King say that? The Marquis should be granted immediately. The glory of Fan Yang's Lu family can't be lost in the hands of his own generation. Let him win a marquis generation with his sword.Looking at more than ten thousand elite troops around him, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel great pride.

The 14000 troops are walking silently by the moonlight in the sky, with people holding coins and horses wrapping their feet. Except for the rustling footsteps, no other sound can be heard.

Just after five o'clock, after nearly two hours of emergency marching, the army finally arrived 500 steps outside Gaoping pass. With Lu Zhong's order, the army stopped here, and soon a cavalry general came to Lu Zhong's side: "general, 500 steps ahead is Gaoping pass!"

"Send the order down, the army will rest on the spot!" With that, Lu Zhong raised his head again and looked at the sky. Now the sky in the East has turned slightly white, but it will take nearly half an hour before dawn. According to the news from the shadow, the opening and closing time of Gaoping pass is usually three quarters of Mao hour. Thinking of this, Lu Zhong added: "pass the order, let the soldiers eat some dried meat! Wait for Gao pingguan to open the door

"No!" Next to the herald troops on the promise, and then one by one turned away, scattered to herald.

Soon, there was a low voice in the team: "the general has orders, rest on the spot, eat some dried meat!"

"The general has orders, rest on the spot and eat some dried meat!"
