"I'm just scared, afraid that you're not with me, afraid of upsetting you, afraid of everything about not having you. But when I have you, I'm so happy, I want to show you my truest self, I-I-"

"I'm really not angry, let's take the medicine first, I've got it. ”

After taking the medicine quietly, Huyan Qiongmei began to move again: "By the way, aren't we leaving today? Why haven't we left yet?"

"Something happened, I will leave tomorrow at the earliest, and I don't know at the latest. ”

"If you leave tomorrow, where are you going?"

"Kotogawa. ”

"Whew—that's good. ”

......

Gaopo Town, although there is a town word, the city has more than 100,000 people, it is an important town next to the Nanwang River at the north end of the Nanhe River, shouldering the defense of the attack from Zhangwang down the river.

There is no artificially dug moat outside its north gate, because its moat is the Nanwang River.

The general guarding this city is named Dongmen Chengli, who is a general of the Yang family's military system and one of Pang Huiying's henchmen.

Of course, it is impossible for a henchman not to be sent to garrison the town of Gopo.

The news of Pang Huiying's departure with 50,000 troops has been known to him since Pang Huiying left. Although it was also learned that Zhang Wang's army was gathered in the important town at the northern end of Zhang Wang, it seemed that they should attack Shangguan.

Instead of letting his guard down, he tightened his guard.

At this time, he was personally leading a team of generals to patrol the north city gate.

"General, didn't the spies say that Zhang Wang's army is all gathered in Wanli City, why are we so nervous?"

The last general believes that the three armed forces have been serving for a long time and should take this opportunity to rest appropriately. ”

"If you take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhang Wang's army descends the river to attack my Gaopo Town, there will be hundreds of miles of river between the two cities. Before they arrived, the secret message of the spies had already arrived, and it was not too late to be defended. ”

Chengli stopped at the east gate and looked at the surging river outside the city.

"Hmph, do you think that the war horses are as fast as this rolling river? General Ben clearly remembers that the river water was not so high yesterday! And from last night to now, not a drop of rain has fallen, aren't you still vigilant?"

"And if Zhang Wang had the intention of attacking Shangguan, how could he make such a well-known posture? That was just to show the world and confuse the eyes of the world! I just don't know whether it was to show us or to confuse Shangguan's army. ”

After hearing this, those generals figured out the reason and nodded slightly.

"Order the soldiers—all the soldiers to climb the city wall and set up defenses!

The roar of the East Gate Chengli made all the soldiers a spirit.

I saw that mighty warships continued to emerge upstream, and the warships did not have a tendency to dock.

"They want to rush through Gaopo Town and take the Deep Blue City directly! Quickly send a message to the Nanwang River, the riverside city, and the Deep Blue City! Quick!"

"Arrows, bows and crossbows ready!

Sure enough, the warships did not stop, and they were a little upstream at the north city gate, and suddenly increased their speed.

"Shoot!"

Crossbows, stones, and torches with special wooden frames flew toward the warship.

Looking at every warship, there was a roar: "Put down the iron sails!"

"Quick!"

Whoop -

On the side facing the north gate, a wide veneer appeared, on which bows and crossbows and stones fell, and a deafening rumble sounded.

As for the torches, they are of no use.

The warship of the lookout galloped through the north gate with ease.

Dongmen Chengli slammed the city wall fiercely: "Damn! The river is still rising, and the wooden stakes buried in the river have long gone! And the iron sail not only shields them from the bow and crossbow, but also increases the speed at which they flow, how good is this!"

"General, what should I do?!"

Dongmen Chengli's mind turned quickly, and in the end he had to compromise.

"Stop the attack! Let them go down! Send scouts to scout along the banks of the Nanwang River, and report back as soon as there is news that they have landed on the shore!"

"Yes!"

......

Shangcho City, the City Lord's Mansion, only Xia Bing'er and Hua Ji, who had not shown up for many days.

Some time ago, when Hua Ji was talking to Ru Long Xun and others, although he was respectful, it was more of a statement, and there was not much respect in his demeanor and tone, which was also the fundamental reason why Shi Qian was so dissatisfied with Hua Ji.

Now, his face was dark yellow, and his eyes were red and black.

Xia Bing'er put down the envelope in her hand and shook her head.

"Let them continue to hibernate, and now even if they can make some movements, they will be quickly extinguished by Shangguan. ”

"Yes. ”

"Guangwu and Sakura, is there any news of the general?"

Hua Ji's face became more and more ugly, and he shook his head: "Since the general was taken away by Sakura and the county lord, they have all disappeared together. ”

"Haven't you found that Sakura and the county lord yet?"

"No, now Sakura and the soldiers who sent the light warriors are no less than 100,000. The Guangwu Imperial Court also issued a large number of announcements to look for it, but for some reason, it was still not found. ”

"Ahh

Xia Bing'er's white and flawless jade face was very dark, and she raised her hand and patted her face to refresh herself. Cheering up Huaji is also cheering yourself up.

"Don't worry, the general will be fine. ”

"Well, it's just that what should we do now? All the soldiers who can be drawn from Beilin have been transferred, that is, many men in their fifteens and forties have been recruited, but they can only piece together the last 30,000 new troops. ”

"Order General Liu Jieming to lead 10,000 to West Devouring City, and General Chen Tianfeng to lead 10,000 to Skylark City. The remaining 10,000 soldiers were led by General Wei Jianfeng, and as for where they were going - let him go. ”

Hua Ji kept nodding in front of him, but the last sentence was directly stunned.

"Huh, where does he go?"

"Hmm!"

"But-but-"

"For example, General Sun Xi and General Leopard, if they were given such a military order, they would be at a loss, so they were only suitable for defending the city or following the siege. But General Wei Jianfeng is different! Just pass it on as I say, go ahead!"

"Yes!"

......

Since the war, Wei Jianfeng has followed Liu Jieming and Chen Tianfeng in Beilin, gathering the army at the same time, but also escorting grain into Shangqi City and Xiyu City and other cities.

Li Mingyue had already gone to Linqiu City to take care of everything.

The Tiance Army was able to stabilize its position in the fierce attack of the coalition forces, and the continuous supply of soldiers, sufficient food and silver were also crucial reasons.

On the street of Linqiu City, a team of 10,000 soldiers was walking outside the city.

Wei Jianfeng rode at the front, and his face was full of joy that his dream had come true.

Behind him were hundreds of imposing soldiers, and then there were some old and young.

But it's okay, he believes that under his leadership, this new army composed of soldiers who have never killed the enemy on the battlefield will soon transform into an army worthy of the name of Tiance!

Contrary to his joy, the soldiers of his outstretched hand were weeping and shouting in the air with the people on both sides of the street.

"Father—woo-"

"Hong'er, raise your child well. Listen to your mother, remember to control your temper, and stop getting angry with others. It's not good for you to hurt others, and it's even worse for you to be hurt by others. Your father and I are gone, but there is no one to help you. ”

The child, who had been biting his lip, was still biting his lip tightly, staring at the man in his forties, but not saying a word.

His mother was nearby, crying on her knees.

Wrap your arms around him and shake him vigorously: "Gui'er, you have something to say! Your grandfather is gone, and you don't know when you will see him again!"

The man's lips were a little looser, and he couldn't bite it.

"Wow woo woo - grandpa, I don't want you to go, my father left and didn't come back, I don't want you to go!"

The boy broke free from his mother's shackles and threw himself into the man's arms.

A soldier on the side stared at him, and the man looked at it with a pleading look.

The soldier gave him a look, and the middle-aged man bowed to him, and his footsteps never stopped.

Hold the little boy tightly, weeds and saplings grow between the stone bricks, and pull out a sapling by the roots.

"You stupid boy, why didn't Grandpa come back? Grandpa will come back before it blooms! Don't let it die!"

The crying boy carefully took the sapling, and the middle-aged man took the opportunity to let go of the little boy's hand.

When the boy came back to his senses, his grandfather was long gone, and he wept again and ran to his mother: "Woo-woo - mother, let's go home quickly, let it grow and bloom quickly, and grandpa will be back!"

The woman cried and smiled: "Well, go home, let's go home, well, we must not let its roots hurt." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

The people around them did the same, and the children, in their grief, ran home with saplings full of their hopes.

Since then, for a long time, something has happened in Woodhill City that makes other cities laugh.

The people of Woodhill City even thought that some trees that had not bloomed since ancient times would bloom the flowers they had been waiting for for a long time one day in the future.

......

The army left the city, and Wei Jianfeng took out the envelope he had received not long ago.

At that time, when he read the letter, he wept with joy, but now he was sad.

For though he never looked back, he heard all the voices behind him.

Exhaled a breath, cleared the dull mood, turned his face to look at the subordinates behind him, and was mournful.

Not to mention fighting with the Shangguan army, it would be rare for him to be able to bring them to the city in front.

"Destination - Lark City!"

Sure enough, the response of the soldiers was mediocre.

"Arrive at Skylark City, one or two silver per person!"

The soldiers' eyes were immediately different, they came out to kill the enemy, what else was there but to be forced?

With the silver taels, they will send them home, and their orphans and widows will have a better life.

"Don't even think about sending these two pieces home!"

"Huh?

"Didn't we come out just to give our family some future?!"

"If I can't send it home, I'm not leaving!"

"Because it is for a tael is given to you! I will ask your lord to give you another tael of silver to your family!

"You cut off a person's head, and you will count it for another silver tael! In short, the more you suffer with this general, the better your family will live! And if you can live forever, when you return to your hometown, you will have at least 100 official positions! If anyone fails to achieve it, it must be that guy is too greedy for money and has exchanged all his heads for silver, and when you go to have fun, remember not to take him with you!"

As soon as the army changed its previous sorrow, especially the young people, they shouted: "When I get to Skylark City, I'll go to visit the green building first, how can I also break this boy's skill!"

"Hahaha-go together!"

"You young people, I don't know if it's going to save some money! But I'm going too!hahaha-"

The corners of Wei Jianfeng's mouth raised bloodthirsty: "Then what are you waiting for?!Go with General Ben!"

"Yes!"

The 10,000 soldiers here rushed to Skylark City, and 10,000 soldiers from each of the other two directions rushed to their destinations, but the morale was much weaker than Wei Jianfeng's side.

Liu Jieming and Chen Tianfeng had no way to change it, so they could only lead people to run wildly with their heads stuffed.

On the other side, after a night and a morning of calm, the West Devouring City has ushered in a new coalition army!
