Chapter 309: Different Thoughts
The closer you get to the Niulanshan camp, the more obvious the traces of the war are. Half-burnt trees stand slumped, and the ground is also dug in a mess, and half-deep trenches come and go, all the way from a distance. The big camp extending to the foot of the mountain. The Niulan Mountain camp has been in operation since last year. After more than half a year, the current Niulan Mountain camp has become a solid fortress, with an earth-rammed city wall nearly ten meters high and one meter wide. Enveloping the entire camp, on each of the protruding archery towers, there are bed crossbows shining with cold light, and rows of soldiers with guns stand upright. Although the sun in the sky is extremely scorching, these soldiers It was motionless without looking sideways.
Niulan Mountain Camp, in fact, it should be called the Niulan Mountain Fortress now. The city walls are not as square as ordinary cities. From the outside, it looks more like a strange thing crouching under the Niulan Mountain. It looks ugly, but it is extremely practical in war. The Niulanshan Fortress, which looks extremely ugly from the outside, has no dead ends when dealing with the attacking enemy. Dead spots are covered under range.
Gao Yuan stationed troops in the Niulan Mountain Camp, not on a whim, but after a long period of thinking, first set up a camp here, then built the camp into a fortress, and finally built a new city with the fortress as the center. Use this place as a forward base for marching into Donghu.
Now, the new city has begun to take shape.
From the beginning of spring to the present, after seven months, the Niulanshan camp was under the attack of the Donghu people, and gradually grew from small to large, from a simple camp to a strong one today. On the rammed earth walls of the fortress, you can still see gaps or depressions smashed by trebuchets everywhere. Some of the flying flags are brand new, but some are tattered. He lay down in it, trimming it attentively.
The whole Niulan Mountain Camp was peaceful. Ever since Naha and Yan Haibo brought nearly 4,000 soldiers into the Niulan Mountain Camp, the Donghu people had never been here again. Sun Xiao sent out countless sentries to go deep into the Donghu people Controlling the area, it was discovered that Sock, who was stationed in Yulin, was gathering troops. Obviously, in the near future, Sock would inevitably launch a larger-scale attack on the Niulanshan camp, and he would not tolerate the existence of the Niulanshan camp.
But now, Sun Xiao still doesn't care about this. At this moment, in the conference hall in the camp, the chief seat is not Sun Xiao who was ordered by Gao Yuan to preside over the Fufeng military, but the general of the left army of Liaoxi County, the county guard. Young master Zhang Shubao.
In the conference hall, below Zhang Shubao, on one side are Sun Xiao, Zheng Xiaoyang, Naha, Yan Haibo, Meng Chong, Xu Yuan, and on the other side are the generals under Zhang Shubao's left army.
Zhang Shubao's mood is very complicated now. From the heart, at the beginning, he did regard Gao Yuan as someone who could be used, but as Gao Yuan grew up step by step, he regarded him as someone who could conspire with him However, when Gao Yuan entrusted Fufeng's subordinates to him before leaving, he regarded Gao Yuan as a close friend.
When Gao Yuan won a big victory in Yuyang, he was promoted to a noble, he was promoted to the general of Zhengdong, and he became a figure comparable to his father, the governor of Liaoxi. Yes, once Gao Yuan comes back, he will get a strong backup. With Gao Yuan's support, he will gain an absolute upper hand in the battle with his elder brother for the successor of Liaoxi County. In the past, when Gao Yuan was just a county lieutenant, he was a general of the Liaoxi left army, but now, Gao Yuan can stand beside his father, but he is still a general of the Liaoxi left army, and Zhang Shubao knew that if he hadn't been born in Zhang's family, he might not be as good as Gao Yuan. The loss and disappointment was because Gao Yuan entrusted the Fufeng soldiers to him before leaving. The power of blowing dust will get the more than a thousand elite soldiers and generals he left in Fufeng.
But Gao Yuan lives, and lives better.
He finally adjusted his mentality and decided to treat Gao Yuan as a great back-up. When the Niulanshan camp was attacked by the Donghu people, he led the left army under his command to Fufeng to help the battle without hesitation. He did not hesitate to blame his father for possible punishment.
He came, and he helped the Fufeng soldiers successfully keep the Donghu people out of Fufeng.
Fate has tricked people, but at this moment, it was reported that Gao Yuan, who had become General Zhengdong, was assassinated in Jicheng. If such an army falls into his own hands, then even his father, who is above his military strength, will have to bow down to him.
What's more, Gao Yuan's main generals, except for the infantry, have all returned. These people are well aware of Gao Yuan's military training methods. With them, he can copy Gao Yuan's powerful military training methods and sharpen his subordinates. Become a master of all victories.
In charge of the great power in the west of Liao, sent troops to Donghu, and wiped them out in one fell swoop. The name of Zhang Shubao shook the world.
Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Shubao feels his blood boil all over.
"Everyone!" Zhang Shubao mulled over what he was about to say several times in his heart before he spoke. Although he was speaking to everyone, his eyes were only on Sun Xiao and the others. He understood that when Gao Yuan was not around At that time, Sun Xiaocai was the backbone of these people." Previously, we all had great hopes for the return of General Gao, but just today, I received a letter from my father, in which my father explained the incident in detail This is the truth of the matter that my father spent a lot of effort to find out."
Hearing Zhang Shubao's words, Sun Xiao and the others raised their heads and stared at Zhang Shubao intently.
"The mastermind of General Gao's assassination this time is very likely to be Dayan's Taiwei Zhou Yuan, but Ning Zecheng, the official censor, acted as an accomplice." Zhang Shubao said clearly.
Everyone in the room was in an uproar, not only Sun Xiao and others, but even the generals under the left general's account were stunned and unbelievable.
Zhang Shubao raised the letter in his hand, "If you don't believe me, my father's letter is here, you can take a look."
No one moved, Sun Xiao looked at Zhang Shubao and said, "General Zhang, what is going on?"
Zhang Shubao smiled wryly, "General Gao has suffered a disaster this time. Zhou Yuan and Ning Zecheng wanted to deal with the Prime Minister Ye Tiannan, but General Gao became their introduction. According to the information obtained by my father, they assassinated General Gao." , and then put the blame on Prime Minister Ye Tiannan, as you all know, there are some difficult conflicts between Prime Minister Ye Tiannan and General Gao."
Sun Xiao pondered for a moment, "General Zhang, in the letter from the governor, did you confirm that Lieutenant Gao was killed?"
Zhang Shubao shook his head: "No, but the fire in Jicheng that day destroyed nearly a thousand houses and caused tens of thousands of casualties, and General Gao was at the center of the fire at that time, and more importantly, it was Tai Dynasty Taiwei Zhou Yuan who did it." With Ning Zecheng, the doctor of imperial history. The two joined hands, and my father said that it is basically impossible for General Gao to survive."
Sun Xiao lowered his head and clasped his hands. To him, being the imperial captain and doctor Yushi was too far away, so far away that he couldn't even imagine it. Back then, Ye Tiannan, a prime minister of the country, forced De Gaoyuan watched the woman he loved leave helplessly, and now, it is the other two people who are not inferior to Ye Tiannan in power and power to join forces.
Several other people were also downcast and silent. They were so far away, what should they do? What should Fufeng do? Everyone was a little panicked for a moment. Meng Chong and Xu Yuan were even more at a loss.
Zhang Shubao took a deep breath, stood up, looked at Sun Xiao and the others, "Brother Gao is my good friend, brother, he died young, and I am the one who hurts the most, but now, we can't because Sorrowful and missed the main task, Brother Gao was always looking forward to defeating Donghu and regaining Liaodong. Now, although he is gone, we must not forget his ambition, his unfinished business, we should inherit, defeat Donghu, take back Liaodong, otherwise, you can't comfort brother Gao's spirit in heaven."
All the Fufeng generals turned their heads to look at Sun Xiao, and Sun Xiao stood up, but his face was full of anger, "General Zhang, if Captain Gao really went, then Zhou Yuan and Ning Zecheng are my Fufeng soldiers." The enemy of life and death, I don't care if Donghu is taken back, but we will definitely kill Zhou Yuan and Ning Zecheng."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Haibo also stood up abruptly, "Brother Sun is right, go to Jicheng, slaughter these two bastards, and dig out their black hearts to pay homage to Captain Gao."
Zhang Shubao's heart skipped a beat, Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo are the veterans of the Fufeng Soldier, they saw Meng Chong and Xu Yuan were still sitting there, they didn't go along with Sun Xiao, let it go and relax.
"I understand what you two are thinking, but if you really want to take revenge, there is no rush. It's not that I poured cold water on you. With the current strength of the Fufeng soldiers, let alone killing them two, they can't even enter Jicheng , Let alone you, even if we add all our soldiers in western Liaoning, it is not enough for them to see. If you really want to take revenge, then you have to think long-term, and you must first strengthen your own strength, and then you can slowly plan it."
"How can I show Xu Xu the way?" Sun Xiao said impatiently: "I have no time to wait, I don't believe that these two bastards will never relax, as long as we have this mind, a bow and an arrow , can take their lives.”
Zhang Shubao looked at Sun Xiao, "General Sun, do you want to be an assassin? Who were the Taiwei Zhou and Dr. Ning? You are lucky, and you succeeded, how can you escape? This is the courage of a man."
"As long as I can kill them to avenge the county lieutenant, how can I care so much!" Sun Xiao said boldly: "It's worth my life to exchange theirs."
Zhang Shubao took a deep breath, "General Sun, General Gao entrusted you to me before he left. If you despise yourself so much, wouldn't you lose even this bit of General Gao's foundation? General Gao worked so hard to create this foundation, Are you just watching him turn into a cloud of smoke?"
Zhang Shubao persuaded Sun Xiao patiently, because he knew that if Sun Xiao could not be convinced to return to his command, then he would not be able to talk about mastering the Fufeng soldiers.
Hearing Zhang Shubao's words, Sun Xiao was a little stunned.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and a group of people appeared at the door, "Who said that the foundation created by General Gao will be reduced to smoke, General Gao will be back soon."
Everyone in the house turned their heads together. At the gate, Cao Tianci was standing with a smile on his face. Behind him, Cao Tiancheng and Wu Kai were also smiling. Zhang Shubao's heart sank immediately.
