384. Countermeasures
In a deserted mountainous area, a man dressed in cloth was half a man's tall barren grass, and most of his body was submerged. The slender fingers gently opened the letter in his hand, and the few numbers in the letter made him chuckle, "Cang Mingshan, the person who is related to success or failure?" At this time, who else dares to say that it can be related to the success or failure of this battle? Wei Junmo... What tricks are you playing? ”
"Pavilion Master, what should we do?" A few steps behind him, the man in black asked respectfully.
Gong Yuchen raised the letter in his hand and said, "Who do you think can be related to the success or failure of the battle now?" ”
The man in black hesitated for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Could it be that Wei Gongzi has found some master outside the world?" ”
"Huh." Gong Yuchen smiled mockingly, "Wei Junmo's kind of person, what kind of worldly master will he need?" It's that there is... How dare he assert that that man could influence the tide of battle? Now that the battle situation is stalemate, this seat can't think of any way for the Yan army to break the situation for a while. Yan Jun didn't move for so long, and Wei Junmo must not have either. ”
"The Pavilion Master... Shall we go? The man in black behind him was also a little dizzy. Everyone knows that Wei Gongzi and the Star City County Lord are not easy to deal with, and they have not bargained much with Wei Gongzi over the years, but they have suffered more losses. This time, it was hard to pit King Yan, and let the Youzhou army fall into such a passive situation as it is now. In fact, everyone secretly tightened a string in their hearts, preventing Wei Gongzi's counterattack. At this time, Wei Gongzi suddenly sent the Lord of Star City out to borrow someone. They're going to stop it, fearing it's a trap. No, what if it's really an important person?
Gong Yuchen sneered, and said a little lazily: "Go ahead, but... Don't fight hard with Nangong Mo. If he wants us, why don't you do what he wants? I want to see what way Wei Junmo can come up with to break the game. By the way, find out who Nangong Mo is going to meet. ”
Looking at Gong Yuchen's unhurried appearance, the man in black said, "In the pavilion master's heart... Already counted? ”
Gong Yuchen snorted coldly, "At this time, it can be regarded as a killer feature by Wei Junmo, how many more?" Xiao Qianye is really a waste, it's been two years, and he can't even handle it personally. ”
...... "It's not that you have cheated Xiao Qianye too many times, as long as you come up with an idea, he will hesitate again and again before deciding whether to implement it or not."
Gong Yuchen waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "Go, there have been a lot of things in this seat recently, so don't come to meet if you don't have something important." ”
"Yes, Pavilion Master. The subordinate said goodbye. ”
Waving off his subordinates, Gong Yuchen glanced at the seemingly endless wild grass around him, sneered and turned to leave.
When Nangong Mo led people to Cangming Mountain, it was earlier than the agreed time. The person she wanted to pick up hadn't arrived yet, so Nangong Mo had to wait at the foot of Cangming Mountain for the time being. On the second day, I saw that the other party was late. Seeing the visitor, Nangong Mo was not surprised, and respectfully bowed his hand, "I've seen Uncle Ningwang." ”
King Ning sat on horseback and looked at Nangong Mo with a calm face, and sighed with a toothache. Ringing out of the incident of being cheated by these two people two years ago, King Ning felt that the whip in his hand was a little impatient. But whipping a stunning beauty is obviously not His Royal Highness King Ning's hobby. Even this beauty is very inconsistent with his aesthetics. But you can give it a try to Wei Junmo's dead face.
"Yo, Lord of Star City. I haven't seen the county lord for two years, and he is still a peerless person, Wei Junmo's kid is really a blessing. ”
Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "Uncle Ning Wang has won the award, and after two years of not seeing my uncle, he is still at ease and graceful. ”
King Ning snorted lightly and turned over and dismounted, raised his eyebrows and said, "At ease? Since I met the two of you, this king has not been at ease. ”
Nangong Mo arched his hand, "Thank you Uncle Ning for your help." ”
King Ning raised his hand to block Nangong Mo, "Don't, don't talk about helping each other or anything first." How did this king hear... My third brother is going to bed right now and is he going to die? Nangong Mowaner smiled, "Uncle Yan Wang is indeed a little injured and needs to be raised for a few days." But ...... "half-dead or something, at least not yet."
King Ning didn't want to eat this trip, "Come less, this king promised to help because the third brother has played well in the past two years, and Xiao Qianye's kid is afraid that he won't be able to support it for long." Of course, this king didn't mind adding a fire to teach him how to respect his uncle. But... If something happens to the third brother, don't blame this king for not believing his words. "King Ning is not interested in the throne, nor is he interested in the Gong of Conglong. He is already a high-ranking vassal king, how can the Emperor reward him from the Dragon Gong? When the time comes, it is quite possible to unload the mill and kill the donkey. So no matter how lively the two sides are, he only needs to watch from the side, and when the winner is about to be decided, he chooses the side with the best chance to stand and stand, and no one will feel that there is any problem.
He was optimistic about his third brother before, but if the third brother was strong halfway, the remaining three nephews... Touching his chin, His Royal Highness King Ning said that he still needed to think about it.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "Uncle Ning Wang's appearance here, doesn't it mean that you have already thought about it?" "Otherwise, after receiving the news that King Yan was seriously injured, he could directly return to Xizhou. King Ning raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What a bad girl, you are just Wei Junmo, why did you let you come to greet this king in person?" ”
Nangong Mo looked at him with great curiosity.
King Ning snorted lightly: "This king only promised to think about it, but he didn't promise to help you!" Wei Junmo boasted to the king that he had taken Haikou and attacked Pengcheng within two months. Hehe, let this king calculate, how long has it been now? It's been a month since the king received the letter, right? I heard that Shao Zhong and Peng Cheng are harder than a turtle shell, has your little white face thought of a way? ”
Nangong Mo blinked, smiled and said, "Uncle Ning Wang promised to help, so there is no way." ”
"Huh." His Royal Highness King Ning threw Nangong Mo two cold taunts.
Nangong Mo shrugged, took out a letterhead and handed it to King Ning: "This is the letter that Jun Mo asked me to bring to His Royal Highness King Ning, Uncle Ning can read it and then decide whether to go home or do a small favor?" ”
King Ning glanced at Nangong Mo vigilantly, and then slowly took the letter in Nangong Mo's hand. It was really a big loss in the hands of these two people, and His Royal Highness King Ning had to act cautiously. After opening the letter and reading it, His Royal Highness King Ning was silent for a long time. Just when Nangong Mo thought that he was asleep, King Ning finally raised his head slowly, looked at Nangong Mo and said, "Wei Junmo's courage is not small, isn't he afraid of capsizing in the gutter?" ”
Nangong Mo looked at him innocently and said, "I don't understand what you say."
His Royal Highness King Ning snorted lightly, glanced at Nangong Mo and said, "Neither of you husband and wife is a good person!" "So, don't pretend to be innocent to this king.
Nangong Mo was helpless: I'm really innocent.
In a secret place not far from Cangming Mountain, several black-clothed people looked at the people who were talking at the foot of the mountain from a distance.
"Sure enough, it's King Ning." A man in black said in a deep voice.
The people around him also nodded, "It's indeed King Ning, so to speak... The pavilion master expected that King Ning had indeed taken refuge in King Yan. ”
The man in black said: "It's not surprising, since King Ning doesn't want to fight, sooner or later he will have to find a side to take refuge in." But... I didn't expect King Ning to choose King Yan at this time. "If it had been earlier, or later, the situation would have been completely different.
"This is something that the emperor of Jinling should be in a hurry to get angry."
The man in black nodded and said, "That's right, as an emperor for two years, he couldn't even say that King Ning was moved, and in the end, he let King Yan pick up a bargain." The pavilion master is right, Xiao Qianye is really a waste! "If it weren't for the pavilion master's secret planning, this time it would have been so easy to seriously injure King Yan and make the Youzhou army passive. It's a pity... It is likely that because Xiao Qianye can't handle the matter of King Ning, all the previous arrangements of the pavilion master will be in vain.
"Go back and tell the Pavilion Master." The man in black sighed. Now that King Ning is about to join the fray, then... A lot of things had to be rearranged. The people around him hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can we destroy the alliance between King Yan and King Ning?" ”
The man in black sneered, "Sabotage, I haven't been able to destroy it in the past few years, what else can I do now?" "As a king, King Ning is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to go back on his word. Now if you want to destroy the relationship between King Ning and King Yan, it is several times more difficult than before. Because once King Ning chooses to raise troops, it is equivalent to tying up a boat with King Yan, and there is no way out, "Let's go, go back and tell the pavilion master first!" ”
"Yes."
Hearing the news that his subordinates had returned, Gong Yuchen was not angry. just asked lightly: "Nangong Mo and King Ning are still in Cangming Mountain now?" ”
The man in black nodded and said, "Back to the pavilion master, exactly." They seem... Not in a hurry to return to the Pengcheng camp, King Ning also took the county lord of Xingcheng to travel to Cangming Mountain, very leisurely. Actually, he really couldn't understand how there could be a prince like King Ning. said that he was a gentleman, he fought more ruthlessly than anyone else, and his Tai Ningwei was obedient. said that he was in a high position, but he didn't seem to have the slightest ambition. It is said that he is greedy and lustful, but in the past few years, whether it is Shui Ge or the stunning beauties sent by Xiao Qianye, none of them have successfully hooked up with King Ning. As if he didn't care about anything, he was doing things like a prodigal wreckage all day long, but it just made people feel like they had nowhere to go.
"Leisurely?" Gong Yuchen smiled mockingly and asked, "What kind of action did Tai Ningwei make?" ”
The man in black said: "Xizhou has indeed just sent back the news, and there is something unusual in Tainingwei. But... King Ning came this time, except for the guards he brought with him, he didn't bring Tai Ningwei with him. ”
Gong Yuchen said indifferently: "King Ning is a smart person, and he will not let Tai Ningwei leave Xizhou before he makes up his mind." ”
"Then, Pavilion Master, let's ......"
Gong Yuchen sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Inform Nangong Huai, let him speed up his pace and destroy Nangong Xu first." can't even clean up his son, his reputation as a famous general in Great Xia is in vain, right? It is very inconvenient for this seat to be controlled left and right now, the distance is too far, and it is difficult to guess what Wei Junmo wants to do. It's so quiet... It doesn't always feel like a good thing. ”
The man in black nodded, "Yes, my subordinates will go immediately." ”
Gong Yuchen nodded, and sighed with some regret: "Why is King Yan's life so hard? Not even Hairigu's arrows could kill him. On the contrary, a Northern Yuan Divine Archer was put in for nothing. If... King Yan died at that time...... "If King Yan died at that time, there would be more places to manipulate." The three sons of King Yan, Gong Yuchen's lips hooked up a mocking smile. King Yan is a hero, but he gave birth to three sons. If King Yan is gone, just rely on those three that are not enough for him to play with one hand, even if Wei Junmo helps at that time, he is afraid that it will not help. Because, at least one of those three will definitely not listen to Wei Junmo's words.
The man in black reminded in a low voice, "King Yan handed over the seal to Wei Gongzi before he was injured. "If King Yan is dead, there may not be chaos with Wei Gongzi in charge.
Gong Yuchen's hand holding his forehead paused, and his voice suddenly became a little gloomy, "How did King Yan think of handing over the seal to Wei Junmo in advance?!" I don't believe it, he really trusts and loves Wei Junmo so much, even so..."Even so, King Yan's seal is not something that can be handed over casually, unless King Yan knows that something might happen to him, "Could it be... He's already starting to doubt this seat? This... How could it be..."If King Yan doubted him, how could he really put himself in danger and almost die?
Hearing his words, the man in black couldn't help but start to get nervous, "Pavilion Master, in that case, why don't we withdraw first?" In case King Yan suddenly becomes troubled......"
Gong Yuchen was silent for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head and said, "No, even if he doubts this seat, he only suspects." He has no evidence. ”
"But..."King Yan doesn't need evidence to kill people at all.
Gong Yuchen shook his head and said: "No, if you quit now, all the previous qiē will be in vain, not to mention that this is just a guess from this seat." Now, the most important thing is... Destroy Nangong Xu. As long as Nangong Xu is destroyed, Nangong Xu and Shi Jingxiang can lead hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Pengcheng. When the time comes... I'm going to see what they do. ”
Unable to persuade Gong Yuchen, the man in black had to sigh secretly in his heart, "Pavilion master, be careful." ”
In fact, he also knew that it was not that the pavilion master did not know the reason why the gentleman did not erect a dangerous wall, but that the major event that had been planned for many years had reached such a critical time, once he gave up halfway, all the dark lines they laid would almost be finished, and it would be a real failure, and there would be no chance again.
Gong Xiaodie, who was placed next to King Yan and already had a son, was definitely going to die, and Zhu Chuyu, who was blackmailed by the cabinet, was likely to betray them. In the past few years, the Water Pavilion and the Zhu family have secretly had a lot of business dealings, and once Zhu Chuyu and the Zhu family turn against the water, the Water Pavilion will definitely suffer a lot. And once the pavilion master returns in the Central Plains without success, the Northern Yuan side... Even if there is no place for them, their status will definitely plummet.
Gong Yuchen nodded silently and said, "Go ahead." ”
"The subordinates retired."
It is not an easy thing to clean up Nangong Xu, but it is the garrison of Nangong Huai and Yundu that has been made by Nangong Xu. After the round with the 400,000 troops reinforced by the imperial court, Nangong Huai had nearly 600,000 troops in his hands, and was assisted by generals like Shi Jingxiang. But if your enemy doesn't pay attention to you at all, and hides in the mountains without even showing his head, you can't do anything about him. And Nangong Xu is not really immobile at all, once it is found that Nangong Huai intends to withdraw his troops to Pengcheng, Nangong Xu will immediately send troops to attack Yundu, or harass Nangong Huai's army. And once Nangong Huai began to transfer troops and wanted to fight him, he immediately retracted.
In addition, Nianyuan designed to rob a large amount of grain and grass from the imperial court reinforcements. Those who were taken away were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were also burned. The army needs to wait for the follow-up military supplies and grass, and there is no way to go to Pengcheng to block Wei Junmo and Yan Wang for the time being.
Receiving the superstition of the Water Pavilion, Nangong Huai took a look at it and crumpled it together, and snorted lightly, "It's easy to say, hasn't the palace pavilion master achieved nothing for so many years?" "If it was in the past, people like Gong Yuchen Nangong Huai would be disdainful. But Nangong Huai was able to be left with a life by Xiao Qianye, and he was even able to leave the prison to lead the troops to fight, and Gong Yuchen really contributed a lot. Of course, these were only known after Nangong Huai was released from prison, but no matter what Gong Yuchen's idea was, at least Gong Yuchen really saved his life. Moreover, now that Gong Yuchen and Xiao Qianye are in a cooperative relationship, Nangong Huai has no choice but to accept it even if he is unhappy.
Shi Jingxiang, who was sitting under him, didn't know who Gong Yuchen was, but he didn't like the natural commanding attitude of the people in the Water Pavilion. They were soldiers of the imperial court and loyal to the emperor. What palace lord doesn't know where to fight the people, who wants to hit him?
However, Gong Yuchen's reminder also has a certain amount of truth, "General, if King Yan really joins forces with King Ning, we will indeed be in big trouble." So... It is necessary to do everything possible to solve Nangong Xu's Chenzhou army and join General Shao in Pengcheng. ”
Nangong Huai sighed slightly, Shi Jingxiang was reasonable, he naturally wouldn't understand. It's just..."Why don't you get rid of Nangong Xu and set fire to the mountain?" "They are at the downwind, and the entire Cloud Capital City is surrounded by three mountains, and it will not be so easy to extinguish if they really set fire at that time. It's anyone's guess who will burn it then.
Shi Jingxiang also sighed a little helplessly, "Isn't there anything we can do?" ”
Nangong Huai sneered and said, "Since Nangong Xu likes Yundu, Yundu will give it to him." When the grain and grass arrive, let's go directly to Pengcheng. ”
"What do you mean?" Shi Jingxiang's heart moved. Nangong Huai said: "The reason why Yundu always wants it is because he is the last barrier on the north bank of the Li River. But... What if there is no one in the Youzhou army who can cross the river at all? What if the clouds can't be kept? ”
Shi Jingxiang was silent for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "General Gao Jian." "Their strength is now superior to that of the Youzhou army, since they can't take Nangong Xu for a while, why waste time with him? As long as they can deal with the hundreds of thousands of Youzhou troops and Chenzhou troops in Pengcheng, it doesn't matter if Nangong Xu hides in the mountains all his life. As for Yundu, Nangong Xu did not have soldiers and horses to cross the river to threaten Jinling, and when he turned around after cleaning up the Youzhou army, he could solve Nangong Xu at any time.
"However, that ......" Shi Jingxiang remembered Fang Cai's letter, but the envoy of the Water Pavilion had a tough attitude and asked them to do their best to deal with Nangong Xu.
Nangong Huai said indifferently: "Gong Yuchen just wants us to march into Pengcheng as much as possible, so as not to make Tainingwei in Xizhou even more troublesome." Don't bother. ”
Shi Jingxiang nodded and said, "This is the best, the new grain and grass can arrive in three or five days at most." When the time comes... Let's go to Pengcheng! ”
In the cottage deep in the mountains, Nangong Xu sat on the hillside and looked at the mountains in the distance, casually playing with the dagger in his hand.
"Nangong Gongzi." Behind him, Xue Bin hurriedly came. Nangong Xu turned his head, "What?" What's the news from Pengcheng? Xue Bin shook his head and said, "There is no news from Pengcheng, but there is movement of the imperial army under the mountain." ”
"Huh?" Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows, and Xue Bin said: "Some spies saw that the rear army of Nangong Huai's department was slowly retreating, and it seemed... Doesn't want to fight us. In this regard, Xue Bin expressed his understanding. He is Nangong Huai, and he doesn't want to fight. Who wants to lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to drill into the ravine all day long?
Nangong Xu frowned, "Withdraw the army?" ”
"Probably not for the time being, right? The front army did not move, but the rear army was slowly withdrawing. ”
The bright dagger spun around twice quickly in Nangong Xu's hand, and Nangong Xu thought as he pondered, "The grain and grass for the reinforcements have just been burned, Nangong Huai shouldn't lead the troops to Pengcheng." But... When the grain and grass arrive, it will be uncertain. Let's send a letter to Wei Junmo first. ”
Xue Bin made a frightened expression, "Brother Nangong, Gongzi Wei said that if he can't hold Nangong Huai, he will cut us." ”
So, the point is a drag. It doesn't matter to them whether they can fight or not, how many enemies they can kill. The most important thing is to drag Nangong Huai and don't let him go to Pengcheng to make trouble.
Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows, "We've been hiding in the mountains for so long, and Wei Junmo hasn't finished Pengcheng yet." Can't hold it back, blame us? "They only have a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there are no big names in the army, so it is an accident to be able to tie Nangong Huai here for so many days. If it were Nangong Xu himself, it didn't matter if you hid in the mountains to grow mushrooms or take the opportunity to do bad things, I would kill you back to Pengcheng first.
After thinking about the possibility of Wei Junmo being unreasonable, although he was not very afraid, but looking at Xue Bin's pitiful appearance, Nangong Xu thought for a while and said, "You and Chen Xu... 20,000 horses of each generation, crossing the river to play. ”
Xue Bin's whole person suddenly stiffened, "Nangong Gongzi, we have no enmity with you, right?" "Crossing the river... After crossing the river, it is really the territory of the imperial court. The thirteen guards of Jinling guarding Jinling are not decorations. Running over with a mere 40,000 people, isn't it to send sheep into the household?
Nangong Xu sighed, for the sake of General Xue's son's brain, "Aren't you trying to contain Nangong Huai?" If the Youzhou Army is found on the other side, what do you think will happen to Xiao Qianye? ”
"I must be angry." Xue Bin said.
Nangong Xu nodded, "And Nangong Huai is the closest coach to Li Jiang......"
"It's going to be bad luck." Xue Bin said happily.
Nangong Xu said: "It's not bad luck, but Xiao Qianye will definitely order him to clean up the soldiers and horses who want to cross the river first, and Nangong Huai naturally has no time to go to Pengcheng for the time being." ”
What about us who have been cleaned up by the "......"?
Nangong Xu calmly said: "You can break it into pieces, make trouble to attract attention, and then find a way to hide it or come back." I believe that you have the vision to provoke places and people that you can't afford to provoke? ”
"yes, I see!" Xue Bin nodded heavily.
Nangong Xu nodded, "Then let's go." ”
------Off topic------

T
