Finally, on the fifth day after Zhao Muyun sent the secret letter, when they set foot in Fenzhou, Chen Qian brought a crucial reply!
"Marshal Yun! Minister Yang has replied!"
Shen Qian's voice was filled with a hint of uncontrollable excitement as he presented a text message without any signature.
The letter paper was ordinary and the handwriting was a little sloppy, obviously written in extreme haste and secrecy.
The content is extremely brief, only two sentences:
"I have read the letter. This is a serious matter and requires confidential discussion with General Li. If the information from Black Wind Stronghold is true, we can proceed."
There was no title or signature, but Zhao Muyun could tell at a glance that it was Yang Dingguo's handwriting!
The content is not important, the most important thing is that he was moved!
"Good! What a great 'If it's true, it can be done'!"
Zhao Muyun slapped his thigh fiercely, his eyes gleaming brightly. "He's asking us for a more solid guarantee! He needs to convince Li Chenghua, and even more importantly, he needs to ensure the success rate of the surprise attack!"
"Reply immediately!"
Zhao Muyun didn't hesitate at all. "Tell him that the intelligence source for Black Wind Village is absolutely reliable! Also, attach the latest contact codes and rotation interval map for Zuo Xianwang's various troops to help him reduce the risk of the march."
"Finally, in the name of 'a small soldier of the Shuozhou border army,' I ask him: Do you want to be a pillar of the country who turns the tide, or a traitor who will be infamous for eternity?"
"The opportunity is fleeting. I hope Minister Yang will make a quick decision!"
Reply letters are sent as quickly as possible.
Zhao Muyun knew that this was the last spark. Whether he could ignite the passion and passion in Yang Dingguo's heart depended on this one move!
The wait that followed was extremely painful.
Two days later, when they were about to reach the border of Yanzhou, news came that the war in Shuozhou had broken out again.
The Tatars' right-wing army arrived at the city of Jingbianjun Town. Zhong Dahu was in charge of the defense and fought fiercely for a whole day.
Han Zhong sent the Modao Battalion to support, and they displayed their prowess on the city wall, beheading 530 people. The Tartars were frightened and suspended their attack.
In Youzhou, the Tatars also launched an attack on the city, but when the attack was halfway through, they suddenly stopped. The specific reason is unknown.
Um?
Just as Zhao Muyun's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Shen Qian came to Zhao Muyun, exhausted, with an expression of disbelief on his face!
"General Yun! They're moving! The five battalions of the capital are moving!"
"How do I move?"
Zhao Muyun asked anxiously.
"Last night at midnight, Yang Dingguo and Li Chenghua suddenly broke camp under the pretext of 'following secret orders to patrol the border northward'!"
"Cao Chunfeng tried to stop it, but Li Chenghua immediately placed him under house arrest in Mengjin on the grounds that 'eunuchs were interfering and delaying military affairs'!"
"The army has now shaken off all surveillance. The entire army is lightly equipped and marching at a rapid speed, heading straight to the northeast!"
"Looking at the route, the target is Youzhou!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Muyun let out a long sigh, his tense body slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up.
Done!
As expected of the new Minister of War recommended by his mentor, in the face of ethnic and internal conflicts, Yang Dingguo not only chose the national cause, but also persuaded Li Chenghua as well.
"Good! Good! Good!" He uttered the word "good" three times in a row, feeling very excited. "Minister Yang is indeed the pillar of our country! He did not let me down!"
His eyes were blazing. "Send a message to all our secret agents along the route to provide intelligence and facilitate the northbound army. Clear all obstacles and ensure the secrecy of their movements and the speed of their advance!"
"At the same time, closely monitor the reactions of Prince Jin and the Crown Prince!"
How would the King of Jin react when he learned that the armies of Yang and Li suddenly turned north?
How furious would the prince be when he learned that the elite troops of the five battalions in the capital were out of control?
If this raid is successful, it will not only lift the siege of Youzhou, but also ease the pressure on Shuozhou.
Zhao Muyun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a sense of pride in planning and winning battles thousands of miles away filled his chest.
He knew that the most exciting curtain had just begun.
And this "dead man" hiding behind the scenes will continue to control everything until... the moment he actually shows up.
"Shuozhou, hold on a little longer. Youzhou, hold on a little longer. Reinforcements... are coming!"
He looked towards the north, his gaze seeming to have traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers.
......
The sudden northward turn of the five battalions of the imperial army was like a huge rock thrown into an already turbulent lake, instantly stirring up a thousand layers of huge waves.
Its impact quickly swept across the entire world.
The first person to react was Prince Jin Yinxi, who was nearby.
When the scout general Li Chenghua and Yang Dingguo's army did not come for the decisive battle as expected, but instead left Cao Chunfeng behind and headed north rapidly, the King of Jin was stunned at first, and then fell into great shock and confusion.
"North? Where are they going? What are they doing?"
The King of Jin repeatedly asked his advisers and generals, his tone filled with disbelief, "Are you going to surrender to the Northern Di?"
"Impossible! Li Chenghua and Yang Dingguo are definitely not such shameless people! Could this be some trick of the Crown Prince? It doesn't seem likely..."
The counselors looked at each other in confusion, and no one could guess the intentions of this elite army.
On the way north, what else is there besides the Yanyun area being ravaged by the Tartars and the besieged Youzhou city?
Are they going to fight the Tartars?
When this idea came out, even King Jin himself found it absurd.
Why would the Crown Prince send his troops to rescue Youzhou at this moment? He should have wished all the troops were used to deal with him!
"Your Highness!" A counselor suddenly said, "No matter what their intentions are, the Li and Yang armies are heading north, and their defense line against me is suddenly empty. This is a godsend opportunity!" I
"The army should seize this opportunity and advance with all their might, right to the foot of the capital!"
