Chapter 260: Changes in the Six Tiger City
Six Tiger City is located at the junction of Ningzhou and Guzhou.
In the past, this was the place where the post officials who traveled back and forth between the two states settled, but now, this is the gateway to Ningzhou, and it is the lintel that Yanting dreams of knocking on.
As the general who led the troops to battle this time, Yuan Baiyu looked up at the pass not far away, and his face was radiant. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, for Yan Ting, and for himself.
A few days ago, news came from the womb that the 100,000 troops entrenched in the Six Tiger City were about to withdraw, and the air defense in the Six Tiger City was empty, which was the military report from Niangniang in Ningxiao City.
Yuan Baiyu also sent troops to investigate, and the news was true.
As long as the Six Tiger City is taken, then Ningzhou is something at your fingertips. His Royal Highness the King of Wei went to Tailin City alone to humiliate the ugliness of the royal family, and today can finally be washed away, thinking of this, Yuan Baiyu's hands clenched tightly to death - as long as this is done, the emperor and Niangniang's hearts will be eliminated, and he will be happy, and he will be able to rely on such merits to rise all the way. As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Baiyu's heart warmed up.
"General, I heard that Ningzhou is fighting a bloody battle with the ghost at this moment, let's send troops at this time, will there be a suspicion of falling into the well?" At this time, a young general beside him stepped forward and said.
That person is called Yuan Yue, and he is also a descendant of his Yanting Yuan royal family, and in terms of seniority, he should be counted as his nephew, but when it comes to proximity and estrangement, the other party is just a concubine from the side lineage, which is far from the identity of his close minister.
Yuan Baiyu sneered and looked at Yuan Yue's words, and said: "The soldier is treacherous, and what he pays attention to is to attack him unprepared, and this is not that the two of them have to report to each other about martial arts, and then attack each other." If General Yuan Yue has such a mind, I don't think he should lead his troops to fight, and go back to the ring to compete with others. β
Yuan Baiyu said this, and the generals around him immediately burst into laughter.
Yuan Yue bore the brunt of it, and naturally his face was extremely ugly.
His face flushed and he said, "But...... But now there are ghosts in Ningzhou in front of them, and there are Dachu in the back, and they are already surrounded by wolves, and they are in danger of accumulating eggs. Although Ningzhou and Yanting are a little unhappy, they are all about their own families, we are sending troops at this time, Yu Qing is fratricidal, Yu Li is Ningzhou, which isolated Yanting from external disputes, is broken, and the bad thing is his own fortune. Therefore ......"
Yuan Yue's words were not unreasonable, but for Yuan Baiyu, who was bent on exterminating Ningzhou and sealing the wolf in this way, these words were obviously not something he could listen to.
His face changed there, and he snorted coldly and said: "General Yuan Yue said carefully! If the general thinks that the emperor's decision is wrong, he can go to Tailin City to play, but before the emperor's decree to change his mind comes, no one here can discuss the emperor's order in vain! If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for killing you and sacrificing the flag!"
Yuan Baiyu's words were murderous, and when many of the generals present heard this, their faces turned cold and they didn't dare to say more.
Yuan Yue's heart trembled even more, lowered his head, and he didn't dare to spit out half a word more.
Yuan Baiyu saw the other party's appearance in his eyes, and then he felt at ease. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Six Tiger City, but saw that the dark city head was lit with several torches at this moment, his heart trembled, and his face was overjoyed - this is Niangniang's Nei Ying is passing the news to him according to the previous agreement, at this moment in the Six Tiger City, the remaining defenders have begun to change their guards, and there will be another quarter of an hour's gap period, so that Na Nei should arrange people to open the city gate, and then his army can enter the city without a single soldier to take this dangerous pass. Thinking of this, Yuan Baiyu's face was very good, and he forgot the unhappiness brought by Yuan Yue, who pulled out the saber from his waist, and shouted: "Sons and daughters, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and charge with me!"
"Make a contribution, just now!"
......
"Is there a reply from Ning Xiaocheng?" The speed of the army was much slower than Wei Lai's, and Wei Lai also understood how dangerous the situation in the Six Tiger City was at this moment, so he did not go with the army, but led a small group of elite troops to march quickly, striving to rush to the Six Tiger City in the shortest possible time.
Xiao Mu, who was beside him, frowned and shook his head when he heard this, and responded: "I have sent someone to Ningxiao City to hold him accountable, but there is still no response. β
"The military order I received is with the seal of the King of Wei, otherwise I would not have rushed to the aid of the army in such a hurry. Ah Cheng on the side stepped forward and picked up
After saying this, her face was somewhat guilty, although he had received a military order to rush here, but with her temperament, she still couldn't help but secretly blame herself in her heart, thinking that all this was caused by her own dereliction of duty.
"King Wei Seal!?" and Xiao Mu on the side suddenly changed his face when he heard this.
He said in a deep voice: "When I left, I handed over the seal of King Wei to Miss Huanxi, she is smart and thoughtful, how could she do such a thing? At that time, I also specially explained that the army of the Six Tigers City had to strictly guard against Yan Ting, and it should not be moved lightly, not to mention that although the battle outside the Manhong Pass before you returned, King Wei, it was indeed blocked, but it was far from the point where the main force was encircled and suppressed. How could she give such a military order. β
Wei Lai, who heard these words, also turned a sinking face, he looked ahead, and whispered: "Either Ning Xiaocheng has long been controlled by outsiders now, and she can't help herself, or ......"
Speaking of this, Wei Lai paused, and there was a look of pain on his face at that moment, but the next moment he covered it up: "Either she deceived us all from the beginning." β
When these words came out, everyone's faces changed.
Sun Daren said: "How is it possible, how can Miss Ji be Yan Ting's spy, he almost died in Ningxiao City for you." β
And Ah Cheng on the side also took over the conversation, and said in a deep voice: "Although I think that the Huanxi girl has a jumpy temperament, she should not be the person at both ends of the rat's head......"
Wei Lai smiled bitterly and frowned: "I don't want Huanxi to do such a thing more than any of you, but ......"
Speaking of this, Wei Lai was stunned again, and then said: "But we have to prepare for the worst, Brother Xiao, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Ningxiao City first, no matter what, don't let anyone in Ningxiao City leave, no matter who the spy in Ningxiao City is, if they can hide from our glasses, they must be extremely treacherous if they think about it, only if you do it yourself, I can feel at ease." β
Xiao Mu frowned when he heard Wei Lai's order, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
After all, the biggest problem in Ningzhou at this moment is the Yan Ting army outside the Six Tigers City that may attack at any time, there is destined to be a bloody battle there, how can Xiao Mu be willing to stay out of it. But Wei Lai's words were so far, Xiao Mu couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while. After all, if you don't look at the spies in Ningxiao City, when there is a big battle in front, the other party will use military orders to confuse the public in the rear, and if you don't keep it, it will cause a big disaster. This matter seems to be insignificant compared to the upcoming war in the Six Tiger City, but in fact, it is important enough to influence the war. β
Thinking of this, Xiao Mu's heart sank, and finally nodded heavily and agreed to the matter.
......
Yuan Baiyu's army entered the Six Tiger City, everything was as he had communicated with the lady at the beginning, the gate of the Six Tiger City was wide open, and his army did not encounter any obstacles, and walked all the way into the city.
Everything went so smoothly that Yuan Baiyu felt a little incredible, and he ordered the soldiers around him to guard the surroundings in case something changed. After all, this is a big matter, and there is no room for half a point difference.
And at this moment, a team of armor soldiers suddenly came in front of him.
Yuan Baiyu's heart was shocked, and he clenched the sword in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Guard!"
When the army heard this, they put on a posture one after another.
At that time, the leader of the armor soldiers who came in front of him walked quickly to Yuan Baiyu's body, knelt down in front of him, and said in his mouth: "The last general Bai is the best girl, and he came to welcome the general into the city!"
"Huh?" Hearing Ji Huanxi's name, Yuan Baiyu, who was still vigilant, suddenly let down his guard, and he stretched out his hand to signal the armor soldiers behind him not to act rashly. At the same time, he looked at Bai Tongpao and said: "People of the Bai family, I heard that your Bai family is also a big family in Ningzhou, and you were one of the supporters of Jiang Huanshui back then, why did you do such a betrayal today." β
The general laughed. Ningzhou is the Ningzhou of Yanting, and although Jiangzhou pastors acted biasedly, they have never done anything to be self-reliant. And now that Wei came, and then Yu Wei of Jiangzhou Mu took the position of the lord of Ningzhou, but he didn't want to serve the court, he was the enemy of the court everywhere, and put our Ningzhou in the furnace, how could my Bai family have been suffering for a long time, and I had long been looking forward to the arrival of Wang Shi. Bai Tongpao bowed his head and replied.
"Well said!" Yuan Baiyu, who heard this, immediately burst out laughing. "Wei Lai, that kid is bent on going his own way, and sooner or later he will kill you, Bai General
The army has such a vision, but it is not a handsome, you can rest assured, when I pacify Ningzhou, I will definitely write to the court, and understand the general's intentions, not only is there no fault, but it is still a great achievement!"
Hearing this, Bai Tongpao's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, General Yuan! In fact, there have been many dissatisfaction with that Wei Lai in Ningzhou, and several major families have long had the intention of surrendering, but they have no chance to show their hearts to the imperial court. β
This entry into Ningzhou went unexpectedly smoothly, and Yuan Baiyu, who heard this, was even more overjoyed, and the last bit of vigilance also disappeared at this time, and he laughed and said: "It's easy to say!"
"Then let's lead the way for the general, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first to meet the generals who have been waiting there for a long time, we have found a way to help the general kill Wei Lai's thief in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" Hearing this, Yuan Baiyu said with a big smile, and he didn't doubt him at the moment, so he let Bai Pao lead the way in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion in Six Tiger City.
......
When the sky was bright, Wei Lai and his party galloped all the way and had already come to the boundary not far from the Six Tiger City.
In addition to Wei Lai and Xu Yue and other leaders in their group, the remaining more than 1,000 elites are young talents from various departments in Ningzhou, with Jiang Huanshui sealing the god of the eastern realm in the depths of Ningzhou, and Wei Lai's luck from the Taimiao of the Emperor Yanting Ancestor into Ningzhou, now Ningzhou is full of aura, and the cultivation of these young talents is progressing rapidly, almost every one of them has the cultivation of the four realms or even the five realms.
And the most terrifying thing is that most of these people are not more than thirty years old. This means that they have greater potential than ordinary monks, as well as unlimited possibilities for the future.
In a sense, they are Wei Lai of Ningzhou.
According to the practice of most sects, for such seedlings, the sect will take good care of them, lest they die halfway. However, Wei Lai's requirements for these people were different, and after obtaining their consent, he sent them all to the army to participate in the training.
While giving them more resources in Ningzhou, they are also given more responsibility. From Wei's point of view, such an approach can calm the minds of some people in Ningzhou who "suffer from unevenness", and can also make this good seedling grow faster. For example, this time he went to the Six Tiger City to rescue, and Wei Lai also brought this group of people.
Seeing that the Six Tiger Cities were close at hand, Wei Lai asked the army that had been attacking all night to temporarily stop and rest in place, while he walked in front of the large army and looked at the city in the distance.
There was silence in the Six Tigers City, and there was not the slightest sound of fighting as Wei Lai imagined. Wei Lai's brows couldn't help but furrowβafter Ah Cheng received the news, he led the army to come. Three days have passed since the army left the Six Tiger City.
No matter who should be in Ningxiao City, since he and Yan Ting have made this plan, the other party will definitely calculate the time for their coming and going and return visits, and they should also take advantage of the time when the air defense in the Six Tigers City is empty to send a large army to take this city, so as to intimidate Ningzhou. But at this moment, the distant city was silent, there was no sound of fighting, and after Wei Lai let go of his divine sense, he did not notice the slightest sign of commotion.
Could it be that I was thinking too much about all this? Or is it ...... The Six Tiger Cities have now quietly changed hands?
Wei Lai couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while, just frowned and looked into the distance, silent.
At this time, Ah Cheng walked to Wei Lai's side and asked softly, "King Wei really thinks that Miss Huanxi is making a hindrance?"
Wei Lai turned his head to look at her when he heard this, thought slightly in his heart for a while, and shook his head: "I don't know." β
"I don't want that person to be her, but I can't think of anyone who can steal the Wei Wangyin of the Wei Wang's Mansion and dispatch the army under her nose with her meticulous nature. And she never got any news from us......"
Ah Cheng, who heard Wei Lai's words, also lowered her head, the expression on her face was a little gloomy, and she hesitated for a while before asking, "Then if it is really her, how will King Wei treat her?"
This question obviously poked Wei Lai's pain, and Wei Lai's body trembled and fell silent.
But before he could figure it out, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Is it His Royal Highness the King of Wei? The concubine has been waiting here for a long time. β
