Chapter Thirty-Six: Target: Mingcheng

After Qingying saw Lu Qingyu, she didn't want to disturb her, so she went to visit Feng Sanniang, who also came to the Crazy Dragon Castle after the loss of Eastern Xinjiang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

While the two were talking, Nangong Ao came to her.

His face was gloomy, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and his face was cold. When Qingying saw this, he knew that it must have been when he and the daughter of the Nangong family explained that his father and second uncle had died, and he remembered those unpleasant memories again.

She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, got up and walked up, "General Qin......"

Nangong Ao pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay." He said, his tone was a little stiff, but he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, so he nodded lightly, "When they are in a little calmer, I'll take you to meet them!" ”

Qingying listened silently, she knew that Qin Ao actually didn't have a good impression of Nangong Ding's two ladies, after all, his mother would leave the Nangong family back then It was also related to them, but out of etiquette, she still had to find time to meet her elders.

"Have you had lunch?" She asked.

Nangong Ao patronized and comforted them, where did he have time to eat? What's more, she wasn't in the mood, but in order not to worry her, she said, "I've eaten." ”

As he spoke, he saw Feng Sanniang looking at them in the pavilion, so he said, "Let's go!" Take me to meet my godmother officially. ”

"Hmm!" Qingying nodded, took his arm, and brought him to Feng Sanniang.

Nangong Ao respectfully arched his hand at her, bowed and said, "Godmother!" ”

Feng Sanniang smiled and said "Okay".

"Godmother, in the past three years, thank you for taking care of Qingying."

"Hey! I think it's Kinage who takes care of me more! ”

Qingying just wanted to speak, but he heard Nangong Ao's stomach growling, and couldn't help but look at him sideways, "You haven't eaten at all!" ”

Nangong Ao was suddenly a little embarrassed, so he could only scratch his head and smile.

"That's it!" Feng San glanced at the two of them and said to Qingying, "Then you can hurry up and get him something to eat!" ”

"It's good!" Qingying thought that she had chatted with her godmother for a long time, and she should be allowed to take a break, and after saying goodbye to her, she pulled Nangong Ao out of the courtyard.

On the way to the kitchen with him, Kiyoei couldn't help but complain.

Nangong Ao smiled, listened to her silently, and her mood was much better, thinking in her heart, if the days could be so leisurely forever, it would be good......

Qingying said, turning her head, but saw him smiling at herself, the smile she hadn't seen for a long time was as warm as the sun, and her eyes were also covered with a layer of joy.

My heart is warm, but the corners of my mouth are tightly pursed, "Still laughing!" She scolded and rolled her eyes, "You obviously didn't eat, and you lied to me!" You're embarrassed to laugh. ”

She poked him in the chest as she spoke, but he grabbed his hand. He raised his hand to pull back her hair that was scattered on her forehead, and couldn't help but sigh, "Mrs. Qin, how good it would be if you could keep doing this?" ”

Qingying was stunned when she heard this, and then sighed lightly, "Yes......"

Nangong Ao found that he seemed to have affected her mood, and hurriedly said, "Forget it! Don't think about it! Fill your stomach and talk to them about the next steps! Yesterday, didn't you discuss with King Qin for a long time? ”

"Hmmm! Actually, I also made an appointment with Ziyou and them, and I thought that I would call you back then, but now I save trouble. ”

After eating something in a hurry, Nangong Ao and Qingying came to the courtyard where Huangfu Qianchong lived to look for him.

At this time, Huangfu Qianchong, Xiao Zilong, and Xia Ziyou were already in the study.

When the two entered the room, Nangong Ao closed the door easily.

"Brother Fu! Lord of the Castle! Qingying and the two arched their hands, and Nangong Ao turned around and saluted the two of them.

"Just be free from polite words!" Huangfu Qianchong pursed the corners of his mouth, "Time is running out, let's get straight to the point!" ”

Qingying nodded, took out a piece of juan cloth from his sleeve, handed it to Xia Ziyou, and said, "Ziyou, help me!" ”

Xia Ziyou immediately stepped forward and helped Qingying flatten the map on the table, and everyone immediately gathered around the table when they saw this.

"This is the troop formation map that Senior Brother gave me." Qingying said and looked at Xiao Zilong and asked, "Lord Xiao Castle, how many people are there in the Dragon Castle now, and they can be used directly?" ”

Xiao Zilong unconsciously clasped his hands to his chest, "If you say that the number of troops that can be used for battle, it is about three hundred!" But now there are a lot of female dependents in the Dragon Castle, and there are some people who fled here because of the war, so they have to leave people to guard here, and they are full of battles...... It's almost in the early 200s! ”

Qingying nodded, picked up the brush on the table, and dipped ink to draw the location of Dragon Castle on the map, marking the number of available people.

"That's the approximate distribution of our forces right now." Qingying said and looked at Huangfu Qianchong, and her finger followed the map, "Currently, we occupy a total of four cities. The southern Xinjiang army was originally stationed in Shuicheng, an important town, and the defender of the city was Fu Lingnan, who had about 5,000 defenders. On the edge of the hinterland of the Central Plains, these three cities are biased to the southeast, among them, Jiaguancheng is commanded by Marshal Wei Chi Lieyu, with about 6,000 defenders, Lucheng is commanded by Deputy Marshal Nangong Nuo, with 1,500 defenders, and Xiangcheng is guarded by our classmate Lan Junfeng, with 500 defenders. ”

"I have the same idea as my senior brother, let's first take Shuicheng as a base, take down several small cities around Shuicheng first, and then connect with the three cities of Xiang, Lu, and Jiaguan in the north. In this way, we have laid the foundation, and even if we have the first stronghold, it will be possible to carry out the subsequent battle of reconquest. ”

Huangfu Qianchong nodded when he listened, "It really has to be like this!" The place we occupy now is too scattered to defend each other, and once any of the three sides of Tianyou, Yan Yan, or Jiang Kuo relieves their strength and begins to attack the Central Plains and the south to fight scattered small cities, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to even defend. ”

"That's right! Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the fatigue of these three parties to at least connect the two strongholds in a line, so that it is possible to confront them. Qingying nodded, looked at each other and smiled with Huangfu Qianchong, as if returning to the time of the military school, in terms of decision-making, they had a surprising tacit understanding and sense of identity.

"Cousin, then you mean that we will immediately set off for Water City, and then set out to attack the city?" Xia Ziyou asked.

Qingying shook her head, "That's what I originally thought, but on the way to General Qin and I, I heard some news that made me dispel this idea. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Nangong Ao, which made him stunned, turned his head to Shangqingying's eyes, and couldn't help but wring his eyebrows, "Could it be that it's because the mountain bandits occupy the city?" ”

"You mean Mingcheng?" Xiao Zilong asked.

Qingying raised the corners of her mouth, "Exactly!" She paused for a moment, and then explained, "The Crazy Dragon Castle is not far from Water City, but there are also several cities in between, among which Ming City is the largest, if we can take Ming City, then the place from Dragon Castle to Water City is basically in our pocket!" We set out from the Wild Dragon Castle and took Mingcheng, compared to the Water City, and then turned around to attack Mingcheng, in terms of results, there was no difference, but it also saved time. ”

Qingying sighed as she spoke, and said with a wry smile, "After all, at the moment, we must do our best to save time!" ”

"And what are you going to do?" Xiao Zilong asked, "There are only two hundred people available in the Crazy Dragon Castle, but there are at least a thousand mountain bandits in Mingcheng, if you notify Shuicheng to send troops to support, it is actually no different from going to Shuicheng." ”

"What if two hundred people can take Mingcheng?" Kiyoying raised the corners of her mouth as she spoke, smiling confidently. (To be continued.) )
