Just as the battle of the Jiaozhi Plain was raging, Mu Ya, who was sitting upright in the main tent of the Wohua Mountain Military Camp, was observing the terrain sand table, and through the observation of the model, he could get close to reality about the nearby terrain, because there was always something in his heart, it was a person who was ignored by everyone, but he remembered.

Bian Daocheng.

Previously, Jiang Ming guessed that when the rocks were falling, Bian Daocheng and his five or six followers fled back to the Pang Lu military camp through the secret passage, but after these few days of observation, Bian Daocheng did not appear in the enemy camp, if he didn't have an accident, he must be lurking in the shadows, waiting for the prey to be weak, and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Of course, Mu Ya is just guessing, and there is no evidence to prove that Bian Daocheng is dormant, and his disappearance may have another hidden reason, but Mu Ya can't rule out such a possibility, so Bian Daocheng's whereabouts make Mu Ya feel like a fish in his throat, very uncomfortable.

Mu Ya thought that if he was Bian Daocheng, he would definitely adopt the safest way of survival and retreat into the secret passage and withdraw to the barracks in the morning, but if Jiang Ming was Bian Daocheng, he would definitely take a risk and go deep into the Wohua Mountain region until he did something that was enough to show his merits. Bian Daocheng, as the general of the Imperial Seal, naturally has his own pride, just like countless famous generals who have fought on the battlefield, he would rather die of jade than live.

So......

Mu Ya was pondering when a sergeant entered the account and reported: "General, I found rat food in the granary this morning, and the grain officer may I ask the general if he plans to move the grain today, or wait for the two commanders to return before making a decision?"

Mu Ya's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at the sergeant and asked, "Where is the granary now?"

The sergeant replied: "The new grain delivered the day before yesterday is stockpiled in the 28th camp tent in the south, and the old grain is in the 32nd camp tent in the south, and all the account books are in the hands of the grain officer. "When the commander left the camp, he told everyone that during this day, all affairs in the camp must be checked by Mu Ya, and if Mu Ya wanted to manage some arrangements in the barracks, except for the camp defense and fortress measures, everything else, including the heavy cavalry under Liang Jin, could be moved.

Mu Ya knew that Liang Jin's deep trust was not without reason, firstly, because of his trust in Jiang Ming, secondly, because he was convinced of his resourcefulness when he broke the formation before, and thirdly, to a certain extent, he used this to show his courtship. But no matter what it is, Mu Ya will not mind, he only has his own purpose, to establish military merits to make his wife prosperous in this life, to fulfill her desire to see himself guide the country, and the second is to assist Jiang Ming, a friend, and assist him to help his friend.

Mu Ya heard what he wanted to hear from the word "military rations", so he said: "Go and call the two generals who have reached the seventh rank of strength, I have a secret matter to discuss with them." ”

In this breakthrough, almost all the main generals in the barracks went to the battlefield, and more than half of the troops were taken away, leaving only the heavy cavalry who was good at defense and strong attack and two not well-known seven-stage generals, one surnamed left and one right, and other generals in the battalion often jokingly called them double-fisted generals.

The left and right generals entered the account, and they did not slack off because of Mu Ya's acting status, and respectfully gave a military salute, and then said: "I don't know what the general asked us to discuss." ”

Mu Ya looked at the two burly generals, and there was an indescribable familiarity, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "The two generals are polite, and I just want to ask you a few questions." The two of you are responsible for the security of the barracks, and what I want to ask is, how many sentry guards are in and out of the camp today? How many people are in the inner battalion guarding a team? How long does it take to change guards? How many people are supervising the lookout platform? Where are the archers on standby?

The left and right generals looked at each other in surprise, and the former said: "A total of eighteen sentinels left the camp after dawn today, because the two commanders were busy sorting out the army to fight earlier, so they did not strictly investigate the number of sentinels returning to the camp, but the last general checked the registration list, and there were twelve in the camp. The inner battalion guards are in teams of nine, and teams of six change guards with each other, every two hours. As for the archers, half of them are generally tested in the school field, and they are generally distributed around the camp to prepare for enemy attacks. ”

Mu Ya thought slightly, turned around, walked a few steps around the sand table, and suddenly said: "Two generals, there is a very important thing that you need to do now, for the deployment of the military camp can no longer fully set up armor soldiers and archers, open the entrance to the southeast, all the archers will be deployed in the northeast direction, the lookout platform will be temporarily abandoned, and the new grain will be secretly transported to the camp tent in the south, I remember that there is the old ordnance placement point, there should be enough space to store military food." In addition, by my order, all the heavy cavalry of the 2nd Battalion were to be transferred to the north-west of the Cochin Mountains, which was the widest entrance to the mountain range, through which the enemy would have to flee. ”

General Zuo said: "I don't know why the general is so armed, if the Qin Dynasty's chaotic army takes the opportunity to attack the barracks, we will inevitably suffer unnecessary losses." ”

Mu Ya said: "It's better to lose a little than to be wiped out." You may find it hard to believe, but this camp will face a huge impact, and the enemies lurking in the barracks, like tigers hiding in the forest, will be injured if they take prey. ”

Mu Ya walked anxiously around the camp tent, now he didn't have to think about the direction of the battlefield, maybe Lin Han's defeat would not make him care, the current matter was too urgent, and it was even related to the integrity of the foundation strength of the Wohua Mountain military camp, if the military camp was destroyed in his hands, even if they could return with a big victory, it would not be enough to change this heavy defeat.

"There are ordnance and food and grass in the barracks, which is the most important thing on the march, once damaged, the army will have no place to stand, and will have to retreat to the Cochin Mountains, such a retreat will be a strategic irreparable loss. ”

Mu Ya thought about it repeatedly, thinking about all the possible things one by one, but still having to face many losses, which would undoubtedly make him lose his trust in the two commanders, but these were not the most important things, because this sudden battle was too dangerous. His lips slowly opened, and he spat out two words: Xu Cong.

At this time, two guards suddenly came to report: "General, the fire in the 32nd South Battalion has been ignited, and although our army is already trying to extinguish it, I am afraid that the food in it will ......."

Mu Ya didn't respond yet, and two more guards knelt in front of the case: "Report to the general, the South Thirteenth Battalion has a fire, and we can't save the forage in it." ”

At this time, another guard came in and said, "General, the South Seventeenth Battalion has also caught fire, and we are currently looking for the reason." ”

The continuous camp fires, Mu Ya's heart became more and more uneasy, his eyes swept over the five guards kneeling in front of the case one by one, Huo Ran took out his sword and stabbed at the guard who said that the seventeenth battalion in the south was on fire, the guard seemed to have expected it, and the soles of his feet slammed into the pop up seven or eight meters.

Mu Ya shouted: "The seventeenth battalion is under the watchful eye of my people, how can there be a fire? Xu Cong, the head of the Xu family in Jiaozhi City, dared to come to the camp tent to assassinate me in disguise, and it was really far from being comparable to others. ”

But seeing that the guard smiled, he slowly raised his head, and said, "You, the acting commander of the military camp, are not ordinary, and you can find out my identity with these details, it seems that you have been prepared." ”

But seeing that more than ten armor soldiers flashed out of the camp tent around them, all wearing the prescribed armor of Wohua Mountain, but they each held halberds to surround Mu Ya, and the four guards beside Mu Ya hurriedly protected Mu Ya's side, Mu Ya also held the long sword tightly, and sneered: "It seems that the preparation is not too sufficient, I guess the Xu family master should have brought all the Xu family armor soldiers, can be so noisy in front of the camp gate, there are at least three thousand people, right?"

Xu Cong was slightly surprised, and said: "I originally wanted to kill a commander of Wohua Mountain, but I didn't expect Lin Han and Liang Jin to go to the plain battlefield, but it was no problem, burn all the grain, grass and ordnance in your barracks, and then behead the leaders of several of your stewards, and the task is completed." "Dumbo e-book

Mu Ya looked around at the surrounding camp tents and turned out to be empty, it is estimated that most of them were secretly assassinated by Xu Cong, and he was also a little panicked in his heart, but his expression was still indifferent, and said: "I'm very curious, how did Bian Daocheng and a few remnants of the soldiers trick you out of Jiaozhi City?" According to the rumors about you, you seem to be a person who understands interests very well, and it doesn't seem that there is much benefit in going to my military camp to make you excited, and you will lose countless armor soldiers, lose years of accumulation, work hard for the Qin Dynasty, and there is no way out." ”

Xu Cong threw aside the military helmet on his head and said, "It is indeed worth the loss to fight for them, and they did not promise me anything, in the end, this battle is not beneficial to my Xu family at all, but I have no choice." Two days ago, Bian Daocheng came to my house again with a knife, ordered me to order a full army to help him break the camp, and even put the position of the city lord of Jiaozhi in front of me, but I just blinked my eyes and didn't move. ”

Mu Ya said: "Although Bian Dao is so arrogant and short-sighted to become a person, he still has some talents for being an official and a general, I guess he put the edict of which prince in front of you, right?"

Xu Cong smiled: "What a powerful guy, you can guess this, you can deserve to be a guy who can see the glaive array clearly." It's no secret that the big man behind me, I guess many people know who it is, and there is a spread of the seventh act. If he just came empty-handed, I would have every reason to shirk it, but the prince's decree is in front of me, and if I don't obey it, it will be a protest, and then this Qin Dynasty will no longer have a place for my Xu family, and I don't want to become an existence spurned by thousands of people now. ”

Mu Ya paused and said: "Maybe you just have a new plan, because the victory or loss of this battle will have any impact on you, all you have to do is to arrange the next road, so it is also necessary to betray the old master, you just need a reason not to become the target of public criticism, you need a time to go out with armor, and you need a new territory for you to reopen the world, do you say what I said is correct?"

Xu Cong applauded and said with a smile: "What a talent, looking at your age, you shouldn't be very old, of course, the average age of the generals in Wohua Mountain is also like this, but the people who fight with them always seem to ignore these, they can reach the eighth-stage rank at the age of twenty-four or five, and even mentally can wrestle with their veterans who have fought for many years, how can they be ordinary people? You are now also a general of Wohua Mountain, although I have not heard of your reputation in the past, but your young and meticulous thinking makes me afraid." ”

Mu Ya sneered: "Could it be that you want to recruit me as your subordinate?"

Xu Cong said: "There was a flash of this idea, but it also flashed, in my opinion, Wohua Mountain is a group of dead apostles, because they are opening up the so-called 'the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand' new political system, so everyone is desperately maintaining, you are willing to be the general of Wohua Mountain, the thought should be the same, killing you can not make you desperate, let alone make you surrender?"

Mu Ya said: "You are also a hero in this dynasty, which people are useful to themselves, and which people can be used for themselves, these you are more shrewd than anyone else, I have to say, if you are given enough space to show, it is not impossible for you to win the world, but now there is still a lack of opportunities." ”

Xu Cong said: "You are right, it can be regarded as your auspicious words, my Xu Cong's ideals are not something that ordinary people can understand, Bian Daocheng thinks he can control me, and even the nobles in the capital want to treat me as a puppet, but if there is a snake in the water, he wants the Yangtze River to become a tide." Of course, I won't be a member of your Wohua Mountain, you already have a character like Zong Kun, so naturally you can't tolerate another person, and because I chased and killed Jiang Ming's kid in the past, I can be regarded as having a hatred with you, but now I am really a friend or foe. ”

Mu Ya also sighed slightly, as if he was regretting something: "It's a pity that Liang Jin's painstaking accumulation, I don't know how much this military camp will lose under your destruction, and because I have a very strong relationship with Jiang Ming, you shouldn't let me go, right?"

Xu Cong said: "Naturally not. In the past, because I wanted to test Jiang Ming's power, I did not hesitate to expose myself to hunt down Jiang Ming, but I also knew that he was not a good person, since he could not be resolved, then cut off his arm, you are his friend, and you are my prey. ”

Mu Ya said: "Are you going to make a move?"

Xu Cong said: "The night is long and there are many dreams. ”

At the time of the assassination of the main camp tent, the southwest camp gate was also broken by a fierce armor soldier, this armor soldier was well-trained, extremely cooperative, the archers were bullied in front of these armor soldiers did not even play their due strength, and even other Wohua Mountain armor soldiers and shield soldiers were also defenseless, and they did the death of these armor soldiers, this thousand armor soldiers quickly moved towards the depths of the camp, and everywhere they went, they were unstoppable.

There are many people who know that the armor soldiers trained by Xu Cong in Jiaozhi City are extremely powerful, but they don't know how powerful they are, they just want to be trained by a martial artist who has never been in the army, no matter how strong they are, they can't be a regular army, but to the surprise of the world, the team combat ability of this armor soldier completely exceeds that of all teams in the world, and even caused a crushing situation.

The South 32nd Battalion, located north of the main camp tent, gathered a large number of soldiers because of the fire, and they were not only fighting the fire, but also defending the military base of Wohua Mountain. The two generals of the left and right seven rank are facing a powerful enemy at the moment, under normal circumstances, the seven rank martial artists are not likely to be better than the eight rank of martial arts masters, they have some obvious differences in the level of understanding of martial arts, the eight stage "Yan Wu" means the creation and regeneration of martial arts, is an important realm of mortal martial arts, if it is a strong martial arts master, it is enough for one person to face three or four seven-stage martial artists.

Bian Daocheng's appearance was a little embarrassed, but it was not caused by the offensive of the left and right generals, these days, he led a few remnants of the army deep into the Wohua Mountain area, through the entire mountain range to Jiaozhi City, the rations he brought had long been exhausted, a lot of time was a long time to march hungry and thirsty, and he was naturally haggard after a few days.

But he did not regret it, since he gave up the opportunity to return to the barracks through the secret passage, he made up his mind in his heart, he did not make an inch of merit and returned to the camp without face, even if several generals did not blame, the governor gave a certain understanding, but his pride as the best son of the Bian family was not allowed to be trampled on, and the only thing that could prove himself was the military merit obtained in exchange for a big victory.

"I haven't seen your shadow in the Pang Lu military camp, and after being a shrunken turtle these days, General Bian finally dares to show up?" General Zuo was joking, even if the other party was a martial arts master, he was not afraid.

Bian Daocheng's smile was a little evil, more like a bloodthirsty feeling, he said ruthlessly: "It's just a young general, so arrogant, there is no martial arts master to guard, this military camp is not any threat in my eyes, and when this general turns your military camp upside down, you will know to beg for mercy." ”

The right general said: "With all due respect, Bian Daocheng's threat has no effect on us, brother, Commander Liang Jin and other generals have treated us well, they don't care about our previous identity, and they have entrusted us with important tasks, if this military camp is buried in the hands of the two of us today, I am afraid that it will not be able to atone for our sins." It's time for us to join forces once. ”

With a wave of his hand, nearly a hundred armor soldiers rushed to his side, listening to the two somewhat naïve words, and said: "You really think that the gap with the martial arts master can be filled by a simple number of people, you really look up to yourself, I Bian Daocheng will teach you a lesson today, and when you go to the underworld, you should learn to be arrogant and harmful." ”

General Zuo smiled and said, "Bian Daocheng, you may not know the identities of my two brothers in the past, have you ever heard of Nan Dong's ghost?"

Bian Daocheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two people in front of him stupidly, and that contempt finally turned into a thick incredulity: "Are you Nantong life-seeking ghosts? Aren't you a robber who kills people and takes your life, how can you be mixed in Wohua Mountain?"

General Zuo said: "Back then, the two of us didn't know the severity, killed hundreds of people in the Yin family, the county guard of Fengming County, indirectly angered a certain elder of the Jinshui Sect, and was chased by the Qin Dynasty and the Jinshui Sect issued a wanted warrant from all over the world, and was desperate thanks to Liang Jin to take him in and join Wohua Mountain together, let us stay in the army incognito, and correct our virtues for many years, so that we will no longer make mistakes in the past, and today is the time to repay our kindness." ”

A few years ago, there were rumors in the Nantong area that the life-seeking ghosts could kill the eighth stage lightly, and they were outlaws, and they were blindly killing when they started, and they generally didn't dare to compete with them. It is also rumored that there are no rivers and lakes in the ghosts, only criminal slaughter.

Bian Daocheng forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "I want to see how strong you Nantong Soul Devil can be, and whether you can really kill the eighth stage lightly." ”
