When he got off the hot air balloon, Qiao Feng's legs were still weak, and he only took two steps before he staggered, as if he had stepped into a pile of cotton. Seeing this, Murong Fu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly helped him and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Qiao Feng exhaled two heavy breaths, expelling the scorching stench of skin and flesh that filled his chest, and then shook his head with difficulty. Although his complexion was not good, compared to the soldiers around him who vomited dizzy, Qiao Feng was obviously still worthy of his heroic name. The so-called fire and water are ruthless, and there are countless examples of using fire to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, but Qiao Feng can be sure that in the battles of the past and present, there is no fire that will be more terrible than tonight.

At midnight tonight, ten hot air balloons lifted off in Yokoyama. After floating in the air for an hour with the help of the wind, twenty Song soldiers in a hot air balloon came to the sky above the Xia army camp. According to the original plan, they poured fire oil all over the summer camp along the way. Because it was getting late, most of the soldiers and soldiers of Xia, who had insisted on fighting for a whole day, were exhausted and fell asleep. And air strikes, a cross-era means of warfare, were obviously not expected by the generals of the Xia Army. The airspace of the entire Xia army camp is like a naked/naked girl, and the Song army can do whatever she wants. The fire caused by the fire oil spread very quickly, and almost at the moment when the Song army threw the torch, ten fire dragons were ignited in the entire Xia army camp.

Qiao Feng condescendingly saw the situation clearly, and the ten fire dragons encompassed the entire Xia army camp, taking care of almost every Xia army soldier in a meticulous and thoughtful manner. Many were killed in their sleep, and many more rushed out of the tent with flames all over their bodies, falling to the ground in agony, howling and rolling until they died. Occasionally, a few particularly sturdy soldiers rushed out of the barracks and jumped into the river, but not only could the river not extinguish the fire, but the oil could burn on the water, and those soldiers would inevitably die. In the thick smoke, several surviving Xia army generals organized soldiers to fetch water to extinguish the fire, but when they found that the water source only fueled the fire, the entire Xia army camp finally collapsed completely.

Qiao Feng didn't wait for the rescue of the people and horses to arrive, and the hot air balloon ran out of fuel and slowly landed. But he knew that this victory was decided!

"If it's okay, go with me to find someone." After confirming that Qiao Feng could stand firmly, Murong Fu let go of his arm.

Qiao Feng only felt that the tragic picture of the Xia Jun's camp that he had just seen was still playing back in front of him, and when he heard Murong Fu's brisk tone, he couldn't help but murmur: "Murong, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what? Retribution? What responded to Qiao Feng was just a sneer from Murong Fu.

Under the hazy moonlight, Qiao Feng stared at Murong Fu's cold and somewhat indifferent face, remembering his sigh of "I hope I won't lose my life" when he was in Yanzhou, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and blurted out: "Murong, this matter was originally my idea. If you really want to lose your life, you will break mine! ”

Murong Fu was suddenly startled, looking at Qiao Feng with a sincere face, he couldn't speak for a long time. But at this moment, the captain who was acting with Murong Fu stepped forward and said, "Murong Gongzi, there are two hot air balloons missing." The brothers said that they were on fire and fell into the camp of the Xia army halfway, and the four brothers on the hot air balloon were only afraid of ......" Speaking of this, he slowly shook his head.

Murong Fu's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he was indifferent when he saw Xia Jun's camp turned into a fire cave, and he said with a gloomy expression at this time: "After all, it is my cāo who is in a hurry...... "The hot air balloon should remain afloat and control the wind power of the coal furnace is a matter of course, and the slightest carelessness in operation will burn the entire hot air balloon." Before this fire attack, the soldiers had only operated the hot air balloon a few times, and it was reasonable that something would happen.

Among these people, Qiao Feng had the highest official position, and he saw that Murong Fu was quite remorseful, so he hurriedly changed the topic and ordered the captain: "Put away the hot air balloon, let's evacuate as much as possible." They floated in the air in a hot air balloon for more than an hour and landed at the rear of the Xia Army barracks. When the Xia army retreats, they will become turtles in the urn.

"Order!" The captain also knew the depths, so he took the order and left.

"Brother Murong Xian, who are you looking for?" Qiao Feng continued the topic again.

Speaking of this, Murong Fu suddenly smiled lightly with a faint expression, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you personally agree to a kind of scripture strategy, and you want to capture that Xu Xi with three knives and six holes to vent the scripture?" ”

Qiao Feng naturally wouldn't believe that Murong Fu wanted to capture Xu Xi just for his promise to Chong Fu, but he didn't refute it, he only looked at Murong Fu gently and smiled slightly. I don't know when Qiao Feng especially likes to see Murong Fu's confident expression. It seems that as long as you can still see him laughing like this, no matter how bad the situation is, there will always be a chance to turn it around.

The Xia army's attack on Yongle City was originally non-stop, but after Murong Fu set fire to the Xia army's barracks, part of the Xia army that night took on the heavy task of besieging the city became one of the few survivors. Seeing the fire in the rear, the morale of the Xia army naturally collapsed, and the thousands of men and horses led by Chong Ge killed those Xia troops lightly. The Song army, which was originally trapped in Yongle City, went out of the city in time to fight under the leadership of Qu Zhen, the general who defended the city, and came to a meeting with the team of Chong Ge. The Yan army was one of the strongest in the Western Army, and even though they were besieged for several days without drinking water, as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, they still fought very bravely. In this battle, thousands of Xia troops were surrounded and annihilated, and they were ruthlessly angry.

When Qu Zhen and Chong Ge triumphantly met, the two famous generals in the west couldn't help but be relatively speechless. They all knew in their hearts that even if the siege of Yongle was relieved, the Song army also suffered heavy casualties. The good situation created by several generations of business to quell and destroy Western Xia has been completely destroyed by Xu Xi alone.

And Xu Xi's IQ also did not exceed the "80" upper limit set by Murong Fu himself, he was a fourth-grade member, and he secretly changed into a soldier's uniform in the chaos of the army, in a vain attempt to leave this mess and escape in chaos.

Xu Xi was captured by Qiao Feng.

It turned out that Qiao Feng and his party got off the hot air balloon and only relied on two legs to get there. By the time they arrived outside Yongle City, the Xia army had already retreated. Under the guidance of Murong Fu, Qiao Feng and the others grabbed a few fast horses from the chaotic army and searched to the southwest, and soon saw three or five Song soldiers running away with two soldiers on horseback. The Song army is now counterattacking, and their group not only did not participate in the battle but fled in the opposite direction, and the two people led by them were wearing the military uniforms of ordinary soldiers although they were riding horses, which was naturally very conspicuous. When Qiao Feng saw them, he didn't need to be reminded by Murong Fu, he immediately stepped forward and raised his arm to take Xu Xi off the horse.

Seeing Qiao Feng and his party waving the banner of the Song Army, Lord Xu, who was almost incontinent, immediately shouted: "Bold! Licentious! This official is Xu Xi, the head of the fourth product and the Yan Road! ”

Hearing the words "Xu Xi", Murong Fu immediately stepped forward and picked up his jaw with the horsewhip in his hand. The two looked at each other, Murong Fu's eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking, but Xu Xi was drenched in a cold sweat and only shouted intermittently: "This official...... This official is the official ......"

Before he finished speaking, several Song soldiers who were traveling with Murong Fu had already pulled out his official uniform and seal from the baggage Xu Xi was carrying. Murong Fu looked sideways, nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly landed on the back of Xu Xi's neck and stunned. After doing this, he turned to the other person who was traveling with Xu Xi and asked with a smile: "Li Zhongzheng, do you want to die or live?" It turned out that this person was the eunuch Li Shunju, who was designated as a "special commissioner" by Song Shenzong at the same time as Xu Xi and came to Yanyan Road to command the battle.

At this moment, the ugly time has passed, and the sky is dark. With that little bit of hazy moonlight, Li Shunju only felt that Murong Fu's expression in front of him was extremely cold, not like a living person, but like a life-seeking demon crawling back from the depths of the netherworld. Li Shunju was depressed and speechless.

Qiao Feng rode to Murong Fu's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother Murong Xian, what are your plans?" ”

Murong Fu glanced down at Xu Xi, who was casually thrown on horseback by Qiao Feng, and that glance was coldly as if he was looking at a dead corpse. "Politics is a continuation of war. We lost this battle, so all that remains is to hold accountable. It is not wrong for officials to be wise and martial, and it can only be someone else who is wrong. Xu Xi boasted about Haikou before the war, and now he has become an outcast after this defeat, rather than letting him die in the chaos army for no reason, it is better to leave it to me for waste use. Some topics are like meat and bones, you should throw them out when you need toss, so that those mad dogs don't come up and bite you. ”

Qiao Feng was really young in politics, and he could only hear it in the clouds. When Li Shunju heard this, he was secretly shocked, but he didn't expect that Murong Fu and the young man would be able to see the battle in the court so thoroughly. Touching the other party's sweeping eyes, he immediately said: "Xu Xi is so happy that he can't understand military affairs, and our family has also persuaded each other many times, but unfortunately he didn't listen to the advice, and he was defeated." Tonight, the general will save him, and our family will definitely go to the official family to cure Xu Xi's crimes! ”

Li Shunju was so knowledgeable and interesting, but it saved Murong Fu a lot of tongues, and he immediately hugged his fists and smiled: "In this way, congratulations to Master Li for breaking through the siege and escaping from death!" ”

Li Shunju smiled embarrassedly, but Qiao Feng knew that Li Shunju had "escaped death", so this Xu Xi must have "died on the battlefield".

On the night of September 18 in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Chong Ge led 5,000 Yan troops to break through the camp of the Xia army, and the siege of Yongle was relieved. In the early morning of the 19th, Chong Ge led the army into Yongle, and saw the corpses all over the field, the death and wounding were pillowed, the tragedy of the situation was shocking, and the famous general of the Northwest Chong Ge cried bitterly; And Murong Fu, who was in charge of making the hot air balloon and made a great contribution to breaking the enemy, was furious, spitting blood on the spot, and fell off the horse. On the night of the 20th, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the newly built city wall of Yongle collapsed after being flooded. In the first battle of Yongle, the Song army lost more than 100,000 soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and people, and killed Xu Xi, Li Ji, and Gao Yongneng in the middle of the incident. After this battle, both the Song and Xia sides were greatly damaged, and the Song army was no longer able to launch a large-scale offensive, and the war entered a phase of stalemate.

Murong Fu came to his senses on the day the army left for Yinzhou, when he had been in a coma for three full days. Seeing Murong Fu come to his senses, Deng Baichuan was naturally overjoyed, but Gongye Qian knelt in front of Murong Fu's couch and whispered: "Gongye Master is clever, Gongye Qian's heart is convinced!" From now on, Gongye Qianwei is the son of the horse, if there is the slightest violation of the order, it is like this knife! With that, he casually folded a steel knife in his hand into two pieces.

Deng Baichuan couldn't help but show his face when he heard Gongye Qian's poisonous oath, but Murong Fu was indifferent, and only said in a low tone: "Second brother Gongye, you and I brothers can only achieve great things if we work together." ”

Gong Yeqian didn't answer, only kowtowed his head heavily, got up and walked out the door. It wasn't until he reached the door that he whispered: "Son, those who died are all soldiers of the Song Army, why are you sad to look like this?" ”

Gongye Qian walked neatly, but Murong Fu coughed in a row. Deng Baichuan hurriedly handed hot water to Murong Fu, and persuaded him: "Gongye, Gongye Qian's unintentional words, please forgive Gongzi!" ”

Murong Fu lowered his head and took a sip of water from Deng Baichuan's hand, and muttered, "Brother Deng, do you think so even so?" ”

Deng Baichuan was speechless. Over the past few days, he has formed a deep friendship with the soldiers of the Song Army in the army, and he has helped Yongle with Murong Fu's own pocket to make a hot air balloon, and he has done his best to help. It's just that now that he heard Gongye Qian mention the great cause of Murong Clan's restoration again, he was very conflicted in his heart, as if he was sorry for the late Murong Bo. After a while, he only said helplessly: "Son, the ancestors of the Murong clan are ...... heroes."

Murong Fu waved his hand weakly, closed his eyes and lay back. "Brother Deng, I'm tired."

Deng Baichuan was not Gongyeqian, listening to Murong Fu's slightly cold tone, he burst into tears, and immediately knelt down and said: "Son, Deng Baichuan knows that Son's heart is kind...... It's just, it's just...... It will be a success, and ten thousand bones will wither! ”

"Why?" Murong Fu chuckled and asked, "Why do I have to sacrifice the lives of thousands of people to achieve my 'one general' name?" Is it for the restoration of the country? So, what is the purpose of reinstatement? To make a name for yourself? If you want to be famous in the world, you don't necessarily have to restore the country. For the sake of self-supremacy? I am at ease in the rivers and lakes, and I don't have to look up to others. So, what is the purpose of restoration? Brother Deng, can you sue me? ”

Deng Baichuan was speechless.

"Brother Deng, I have seen a lot when I came to the border this time. There are some things I should think about. I hope that Brother Deng will also think about how to go in the future. Murong Fu finally sighed, "Go out." Murong Fu knew that it would be difficult to make a pyramid scheme stalwart like Deng Baichuan wake up, but Deng Baichuan was not a public business after all, and he always wanted to try hard, and it was better than always fighting alone.

Deng Baichuan stood up in confusion, wiped his tears and was about to leave, when Seed Master Dao and Qiao Feng broke in again. I saw Qiao Feng frowning and said, "Brother Murong Xian, I heard that you are awake, let's take a look......" Halfway through the words, the person didn't come closer, and he couldn't wait to get to the point. "It's not enough to kill people, then Xu Xi ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Seed Master Dao also interjected: "Murong, my uncle wants me to ask you, what do you plan to do with Xu Xi and Li Shunju?" Shen Kuo and Li Xian are about to arrive, and this matter can't be hidden for long! ”
