In the spring of the twenty-first year of the Jin calendar, Heboduo's 100,000 troops entered the town of Xiaochi in Nagano through the Nu River, and approached Baishan City, where the defender of Baishan evacuated the people in the city. There are less than 50,000 soldiers left in Baishan City, and the soldiers lack food and clothing, and they are extremely difficult under the cold environment.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the streets, and the gates of the entire Baishan City were closed on all sides, and there was no one in sight of the people in the city, and there were soldiers in uniform and armor coming and going.

The man in the tent sat silently at the table, not knowing what he was thinking, when the curtain was lifted, and a man came in from outside.

"My lord, all the people of Baishan have been transferred, do we want to notify the prince to go and intercept it?" Tie Niu looked back at the outside of the tent, then walked to the table and asked softly to Fang Wenzheng.

Fang Wenzheng's eyes moved when he heard this, and he glanced up at him, but there was a bit of distraction in his eyes.

"Lord Fang?!" Realizing that something was wrong with him, Tie Niu blinked a little suspiciously, for some reason, since this person took himself and other three thousand people and horses into this White Mountain City, he has often been in such a daze, it really makes people guess what he thinks in his heart.

"War is a matter for soldiers, the people are innocent, if you can let it go, let it go. There was a hint of gloom in those words, and Tie Niu was stunned when he heard it, and then scratched his head and said, "But if you let the young master know, will you blame the adult?" ”

"Iron Bull, you say...... Let's do this......" After a pause, Fang Wenzheng looked at the five big and three rough men in front of him, suddenly shook his head, and stood up with a self-deprecating smile: "It's okay, the prince's army is already not far away, and see what General Hua Chier has to do today, pass the order, three thousand men and horses are on standby, as long as they see the signal sent from outside the city, they will open the city gate regardless of a single qiē to welcome the army in!"

"Yes!" Tie Niu walked away, and Fang Wenzheng was alone for a long time before he lifted the curtain and went out.

The snowflakes are still falling, covering the streets layer after layer, and the people and hawkers who are talking and laughing can no longer be seen everywhere, and the prosperity of the past is gone. Looking up at the city wall, Fang Wenzheng found Meng Changlong who was leading people to inspect.

He is still there, and he has not evacuated with the people, this Baishan City is no longer safe, his son killed Brother Chong, and now, he will use his life to repay a qiē.

"I feel guilty that I can't serve my mother at home. ”

"I heard a letter from someone saying that my son would call him Daddy, and I really wanted to hear it with my own ears, but I was afraid of ...... No chance. The two soldiers shook their heads and sighed as they passed by Fang Wenzheng, Fang Wenzheng glanced at them, his face suddenly turned red, and then he lowered his head hurriedly, not daring to raise it again.

Turning down the alley, he stood against the wall, gasping loudly, then his eyes closed and the back of his head slammed, once, twice, three times......

The pain came to him for a moment, and he thought of the 30,000 soldiers and thousands of people in Koike Town, and the small village that had been slaughtered along the way, and he suddenly couldn't suppress the tears in his eyes, and the cool liquid rolled down from the corners of his closed eyes, burning his face like a scorching flame. With a twitch of his body, he slowly slid down the alley wall, and then folded his hands on his knees and shrunk into a ball.

In order to take revenge, he has become an evil spirit, and he is not afraid of going to hell and suffering in the future, but he ...... Afraid of seeing those innocent and tragic deaths again, they don't need to kill with swords, just use their eyes to let themselves fall into the abyss, and never have peace.

The body was shaking, and there was a fear that I had never felt before, and the fear was like penetrating into the bone marrow, and the cold was all over the body.

"Wenzheng. The voice suddenly came, causing Fang Wenzheng to be shocked, he raised his head and saw Meng Changlong's concerned gaze.

"Are you alright, are you ...... Are you scared?" Meng Changlong smiled and walked to his side, but did not move to help him, but sat against the wall like him, looking up at the snowflakes in the sky.

"I remember that before I went to the battlefield for the first time, I was also afraid and feared like this, although the camps were different, but the other party was also a flesh and blood person, and the sword pierced a person's body, but what could be destroyed was a once intact home behind him. In this family, there may be some white-haired parents, looking forward to their children day by day, perhaps, there are virtuous women, looking forward to Lang returning to ...... night and night" let out a long breath, Meng Changlong's tone was so low that it was suffocating, Fang Wenzheng was sitting beside him, and he didn't dare to look at him again.

"I'm almost twenty years old, and I'm a father, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and this kid hasn't let me save my heart. Having said that, the relief and pride in the man's eyes could not be hidden.

My Yan'er has grown up, although he has a stubborn personality, he is resolute and upright, and has both moral character.

"What about you, do you still have relatives?"

Those words tugged at Fang Wenzheng's heart, and he finally turned his head, looked at the graying appearance of the person beside him, and said word by word: "Yes, but he died unexpectedly!"

Meng Changlong nodded silently, then reached out and patted Fang Wenzheng's shoulder, shook it, stood up, and left with heavy steps.

"Master Hou-" The shout blurted out, and even Fang Wenzheng himself was caught off guard. Meng Changlong turned around and looked at him with doubts in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.

"I ......"

"Report - Hou Ye, Hua Chier led people to call for battle outside the city, and Mr. Nangong ordered his subordinates to come and pay homage to Hou Ye. ”

The person who came interrupted Fang Wenzheng's words, he stood in place, looked at Meng Changlong and nodded at himself, and then strode away, and when the figure faded out of sight, he said softly: "...... Leave it to fate!"

"Meng Changlong, let people come out to fight--what, this general only has 10,000 horses, did he scare you into a shrunken-headed turtle?ah? hahahaha-" Hua Chi'er stepped forward with a long knife, his words were provocative, shouting under the city, behind him were neatly lined up soldiers, but for some reason they stood in a pile in the east and a pile in the west, unlike the Jin soldiers in the city, Heboduo's men and horses were well equipped and had abundant food and grass, and they were strong and strong with soldiers and horses, and their morale was high, and they were eager to try under the city wall at this moment.

"Master Hou, subordinate Rover please fight!" Luo Fu, the general of the Left Route Army, stood up from the crowd and surrendered his hand to fight, and Ma Zongming, the general of the Right Route Army on the side, also stood up with his fists hugged: "Subordinate Ma Zongming is willing to fight together!"

Nangong Mo stood at the head of the wall and leaned over, looked at the other party's men and horses carefully, turned around and said, "The two generals must not fight lightly. ”

Meng Changlong saw that his expression was solemn, so he walked to his side and looked under the city wall, and also showed suspicion, first gasped, and then looked at Nangong Mo.

"Did Master Hou see the subtlety of where they were standing? ”

Meng Changlong listened to what he said, and became more and more sure of his thoughts, but he still went to take a closer look before he said: "When he went to fight against Da Dan with the first emperor, we used this formation to break more than 10,000 people on the other side with 3,000 people. This array is ...... It's ......"

Nangong thinks that that person must have returned...... Master Hou, he is resentful, but he is afraid that he will not give up this time!"

Meng Changlong let out a long sigh and fell into deep thought.

"Pass the order, everyone is on standby, and no one is allowed to fight privately without Benhou's order!"

"Shouldn't you fight?"

The figure in the handsome camp was longing, Qingfeng stood beside the case, shook the feather fan gently, heard the soldier's return, bowed his head and smiled, and said: "The prince is not impatient, this formation was created by me and Nangong Mo, the strategist next to Meng Changlong, when they saw it, they naturally would not fight." ”

"I see, what does the gentleman mean by using this formation to understand them?"

"But I just want them to know that I'm back with a breeze. "I'm Qingfeng, twenty years after leaving Dajin, I'm back again!

"Little Marquis, we have already arrived in Mengcheng, and we have parted ways from here, are we still going to take the road to Baishan?" Along the way, troops were frequently transferred from all over the country, and the closer they got to the boundary of the Nine Plains, the more solemn the atmosphere became, which also made the three of them deeply worried.

Looking up into the distance, Bai Yan jumped off his horse, pulled a person beside him and asked, "May I ask my brother, there are so many troop transfers here, but there is a war nearby?"

The man shook his head, his face was frightened by Bai Yan's question, his body writhed and was about to run away, Bai Yan let go of his hand when he saw this, because the sound attracted the attention of others, he hurriedly put on the hat of the cloak and covered most of his face.

"Little Marquis, the situation is not right, the people seem to have been coerced in some way, we asked a few people like this, everyone avoided it, let's hurry up, this question will definitely be reported to the officers and soldiers immediately. ”

As he was talking, Bai Yan suddenly lowered his head, gestured to the two of them, and then casually picked up the belongings of a vendor on the side of the road and pretended to watch. A group of soldiers hurried by, and after they passed, Bai Yan put down the things in his hand and said, "Do you see who that person is?"

"Isn't that Zuo He Bo, the general of the Yuanzhou Naval Army? Little Marquis, Zuo He Bo is not in Yuanzhou Bailu Beach, how can he appear in this Mengcheng? He is here, so isn't the 30,000 naval army under his command already here?

After Nangong Rehe finished speaking, he anxiously pulled Bai Yan and said: "Little Hou Ye, if we want to go to Baishan, we should hurry, Xiangguo Mansion has already transferred troops privately, and the situation in Jiuyuan is not optimistic, Baishan faces Ke Butuo, Hou Ye and my father are in Baishan City at the moment, Wu Feiyun is guarding the giant deer, if Hebo attacks in a big way, he will attack with him back and forth, and Baishan City will be in danger!"

"Mengcheng is still a few days away from Baishan, and they have already begun to block the news from here, thinking that there are many checkpoints on the way, and there are only three of us ......"

"If so, what about us?"

Shui Linglong stood behind the three of them and continued in a loud voice.

"Linglong, aren't you ordered to bring us back to Kyoto? Why ......?"

"Outside, the military order is not subject to! I just saw Zuo He Bo, he is the minion of the Wu father and son, but at this moment he suddenly appeared in Mengcheng, thousands of miles away from Yuanzhou, his heart has been revealed, the little marquis with the tiger talisman, Jiuyuan's Zhao Mu Canglang and the two have been incompatible for a long time, and now what can restrain the two is this dead thing, so Linglong is willing to take the responsibility of disobeying the military order and protect the little marquis to go to Jiuyuan. Little Marquis, if Baishan is trapped, the only one who can solve the danger of Baishan is Jiuyuan!"

After listening to Linglong's words, Bai Yan took a deep breath and nodded.

Yes, even if he and others rushed to Baishan, how could they solve the danger of Baishan by themselves, and the only feasible thing now is to rush to Jiuyuan day and night, mobilize 80,000 horses in Jiuyuan, and still fight with one of them.

Anxious in his heart, worried about the safety of his father and tens of thousands of Baishan soldiers and people, but he couldn't reach it, Bai Yan looked up at the north with regret.

Daddy, you must hold on, wait for Yan'er!

That gaze flashed, and a trace of pain was fleeting, Bai Yanfei got on his horse and said, "Linglong, where is the Imperial Forest Army you are leading now?"

"Except for a few people behind him, the rest of the people are gathered near the south gate, just wait for the little marquis to give an order, let's rush out of the gate of this Mengcheng city, all the way straight to Jiuyuan!"

"Okay!Nangong Bai Ze, get on the horse, let's go to the south gate and go straight to Jiuyuan!"

"Yes!"

"My lord, these are the people - they're going to run away, my lord-"

A group of men and horses came running from afar, and when the leader saw this, he shouted, "Stop them—"

Bai Yan glanced back, then shook off the cloak on his body in the wind and snow, buckled his spear back, and shouted, "The Royal Forest Army listens to the order!
