Late at night, Nangong Mo once again appeared on the cliff above Fuyun Valley with people. It's just that this time there is no Wei Gongzi, who is peerless in martial arts, accompanying him. Liu Han glanced down at the cliff that was not visible, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "County Lord, it really deserves to be a cliff." "If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, even as killers, they would never want to go from here.

Nangong Mo also sighed, shrugged helplessly, and said, "No way, this is the only way." Unless you're able to rush in through the valley. "This is already the lowest and smoothest cliff in the entire Fuyun Valley.

If they could rush in from the mouth of Fuyun Valley, King Yan didn't know how many times he had died.

Nangong Mo clapped his hands and said with a light smile: "Okay, go on according to the method I said before, is there a problem?"

Those who can come with them are either the killers in the Zixiao Palace in the past, or the elite guards in the Yanwang Mansion, and their martial arts are naturally not weak. Qi Qi nodded and said that he had no problem. Nangong Mo nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and threw a rope off the cliff, and then under the gaze of everyone, Nangong Mo skillfully jumped off the cliff, and after a while, the rope that gradually straightened loosened a little, and shook it slightly. Xingwei stood with his sword in his arms and said in a deep voice, "Go down." ”

"Yes!"

The movement at the bottom of the valley had already alarmed several Zixiao Hall guards stationed in the valley, and before all the people above came down, King Yan had already rushed over with people. It seems that the medicine left by Nangong Mo is still somewhat useful, and although King Yan's face is still pale, he is much more energetic than when he came over two days ago.

"Flawless?" Seeing Nangong Mo, King Yan couldn't help but pause. Ever since that day, the cliff above Wei Junmo and Nangong Motong Guò entered Fuyun Valley, and they have been guarding against these places for the past few days. After all, if they can come, others will naturally come. However, this is obviously because King Yan is too worried, and the cliff behind Fuyun Valley is not something that ordinary soldiers can easily go up and down. Unless Xiao Qianye sends the palace secret guard or Gong Yuchen sends the Water Pavilion killer. But obviously, Xiao Qianye does not have the ability to predict the future, and Gong Yuchen, who has always been willing to stir up trouble, has been really quiet in the past two years. I don't know if it's really dead, or if it's holding back the bad and preparing to amplify the move. Nangong Mo thinks it should be the latter.

"Uncle." Nangong Mo smiled and said, "It seems that my uncle's health is much better." ”

King Yan frowned and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Nangong Mo sighed and motioned for King Yan to speak in a different place. King Yan looked at him deeply, but still nodded and turned around and walked towards the valley. Nangong Mo made a gesture to the people behind him to signal them to take care of themselves, and then turned around and followed King Yan's footsteps.

"So, Xiao Qianye released Nangong Huai again, and he was the one who led the troops in Siyang this time?" Walking in the Fuyun Valley, King Yan came back to his senses and glanced at Nangong Mo and raised his eyebrows.

Nangong Mo smiled a little helplessly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

King Yan snorted lightly and said, "He's very magnanimous!" Of course, this is not a compliment to Xiao Qianye, but like a mockery. If he hadn't been forced to be in a hurry, how could Xiao Qianye have released Nangong Huai?

Nangong Mo pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know what Uncle Xi in the army knows?" Seeing King Yan's eyes, Nangong Mo said: "Nangong Huai is not an immortal, even if Xiao Qianye releases him, how do he know that he should ambush soldiers in Siyang?" I heard General Chen Yu say that the plan for a sneak attack on Siyang was decided on an ad hoc basis. ”

King Yan nodded and said, "I know this in my heart, I'll talk about it later." ”

Nangong Mo thought about it and didn't ask any more. If Fuyun Valley can't pass this level, it's superfluous to think about anything else.

When the sky was slightly bright, there was a sound at the mouth of Fuyun Valley. Obviously, the enemy army has begun to attack, and there are only about 10,000 soldiers and horses in Fuyun Valley, but the pressure of holding a small valley mouth is not great for a while. Fuyun Valley Gukou started, and the three of them passed side by side, all of which seemed a little narrow. The location is also slightly higher than the Fuling Lake outside. It is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, which is why King Yan chose to retreat at that time. In a situation that is already extremely bad, choose a place that is relatively less bad.

The soldiers of the Youzhou army in the valley were stationed with bows and arrows, and as long as there were soldiers outside who tried to rush in, they would be killed. Soon, Taniguchi's corpses were piled up in a heap, forming a natural obstacle.

Nangong Mo and King Yan stood side by side behind them and watched for a while, then turned around and left. There is no need for them to worry about this for the time being, and Nangong Mo also ordered Xingwei and the others to take turns to watch there to avoid any accidents.

At this time, outside Siyang County, Nangong Xu and the soldiers and horses of the Chenzhou army leaned against the closed Siyang City Gate from afar.

Xiao Qianjiong followed him and said in a low voice, "Are you sure that Nangong Huai is still in the city now?" Isn't he supposed to be in Fuyun Valley? ”

Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "What are you doing in Fuyun Valley?" That place is the same no matter who sends. If Nangong Huai had another way to break through Fuyun Valley, how could he wait until now? Do you think he's waiting for you? Xiao Qianjiong touched his nose, and always felt that it was even more difficult to get along with the eldest prince of Nangong after not seeing him for two years. He remembered in a trance that they got along well back then. Could it be that he didn't stand on his side when he fought with his second brother?

Nangong Xu didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Sangongzi's overly rich expression at all. said indifferently: "The ultimate purpose of the imperial court army is to defeat the Youzhou army, and killing King Yan is just one of the goals." If Siyang City is forced or even worse, Peng Cheng is broken, what can he do even if he kills King Yan? You will also fall into a mortal situation. Do you think he is a man who sacrifices himself in order to defeat the enemy? ”

Xiao Qianjiong shook his head again and again, Nangong Huai should be the kind of person who can survive even if the entire army is wiped out.

Lin Changfeng, who was next to him, dragged his chin and thought for a while and said, "So, you let people block the intersection to the edge of the Li River first." Just to cut off his retreat? But, aren't you afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry, and will you really fight to the death with us? ”

Nangong Xu sneered, his expression cold, "He doesn't think he will lose to us yet." Even if he was really defeated, he could still retreat to Pengcheng. ”

Pengcheng has Chen Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops! Changfeng Gongzi swallowed the words back in his mouth fiercely.

Xiao Qianchi was the least good at fighting among them, so he couldn't help but stroke his forehead and ask, "So, what are we going to do now?" ”

Lin Changfeng smiled: "Siege." ”

"It's enough for us to drag Nangong Huai. However, it is not good to rely on siege. "If Nangong Huai wants to rush to the aid of Fuyun Valley, it may not be difficult for them to stop him.

"So?" Xiao Qianjiong said.

Nangong Xu lowered his eyes and said, "So General Chen Yu's side should also be fighting now." If we can't stop Nangong Huai, let's dig up Fuling Lake. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qianzhi's sword frowned, "Nangong Gongzi, digging up the tributaries of Fuling Lake, flooding is not only Siyang City!" And what about the people outside Siyang City? Xiao Qianchi felt that Nangong Xu's plan was too crazy, although Fuling Lake is not the time when the water storage is the largest, but Siyang City is just downstream of Fuling Lake, if a few gaps are dug up in the tributaries downstream, the lake will be flooded in an instant, and even the Zhanì River will be diverted, and the consequences will be unimaginable. In addition, if the water of Fuling Lake is released, it is likely that it will also affect the farming and life of the nearby people in the second half of the year.

Nangong Xu glanced at Xiao Qianchi with some surprise, and said lightly: "The prince is kind-hearted. ”

Xiao Qianchi was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Qianjiong was a little uncontrollable and said: "Big brother, don't forget that the most important thing for us now is to save our father!" "If something happens to my father, their entire Yanwang Mansion and Youzhou Army will be finished.

Nangong Xu took out a scroll and said, "This is not my idea, if you have an opinion, go to Wei Junmo." ”

Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows, took the scroll and looked at it carefully. This is a topographic map of the waters and rivers near Fuling Lake. Several of them are marked with red ink, and several rivers are also painted red. Lin Changfeng thought about it and said, "What does Jun Mo mean to open in these places?" Words like that"

Nangong Xu said: "The water of Fuling Lake will pour out from the Mishui, Muyue River, and Rujiang River and finally rush to Siyang City. Meet at Tanxi outside Siyang City. Tanxi can't hold so much water, and the river must have widened two to three times in an instant. The last road flows east into Lake Aoba downstream. If it doesn't take long, it won't have much of an impact. ”

"That's amazing." Changfeng Gongzi casually handed the file in his hand to the two brothers who stretched their necks beside him, and couldn't help but praise, "Such a bad idea, it really seems like Wei Junmo thought of it." But how did he come up with such a bad idea in such a short period of time? I don't remember him being proficient in river work. ”

Nangong Xu said lightly: "The Siyang County Chronicles record: In the seventh year of Emperor Shun of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there were many embankments in the upper reaches of Fuling Lake, but in the end, there was no damage in the county. "This kind of luck is indeed worth writing about. However, Wei Gongzi, who came to fight to save King Yan, actually had time to read the county chronicles, and he was also a strange person.

Seeing this, Xiao Qianchi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that I'm still a little worried, "Are you sure about this?" "The plan may be correct, but it's hard to guarantee that it will really be secure.

Nangong Xu said: "The seventh year of Emperor Shun is not very far away from now, even if there is a problem, it will not be too big." In addition, if something goes wrong, the responsibility will be put on Wei Junmo. ”

Xiao Qianchi was ashamed, "I didn't mean that. ”

Lin Changfeng patted Xiao Qianchi's shoulder and said, "Don't care, the two of them have always been like this." Every time I talk to them, I forgive them 800 times before we can talk. But there's nothing else we can do right now. If Nangong Huai is allowed to rush out, whether he plans to beat us or go to Fuyun Valley, we are afraid that we will not be able to stop it. ”

Xiao Qianchi smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "It's me who is stupid, let's listen to Nangong Gongzi's arrangement." ”

They did not rush to attack, but waited until the sound of soldiers had been heard in the direction of Fuyun Valley, and waited until almost noon to see Nangong Huai appear on the city tower.

"Seriously, the Duke of Chu looked like a personable Confucian general back then, but now it looks really a little," Lin Changfeng said in a low voice.

Nangong Huai must have not had a good life in the past few years, and the whole person can almost be described as a withered tree. Those eyes, as well as the extraordinarily gloomy momentum, made people feel even more creepy.

On the city tower, Nangong Huai looked coldly at the people in front of the army outside the city, all of them were a group of young people, but this group of young people made Nangong Huai disdainful and at the same time had a little more resentment and jealousy. Among them was his son, the son who ruined most of his life!

"General, what should I do? The rebels seem to be trying to stop us from rushing to the aid of Fuyun Valley. The lieutenant next to him said in a low voice.

Nangong Huai snorted lightly and said, "Fuyun Valley? Don't be in such a hurry today. Even if Wei Junmo had the ability to reach the sky, he couldn't rescue Xiao Yu so quickly. As for the boys outside the city, the old man just played with them. Open the gates! ”

"Yes, General."

Watching the city gate slowly open, Xiao Qianjiong became excited, "Brother Nangong, they are coming out." Quick"

Nangong Xu grabbed him, "I'm waiting, waiting for Nangong to come out." ”

The soldiers and horses of the city rushed out, and the two sides became entangled. It's just that the battlefield gradually moved away from the city gates.

A red firework rushed into the sky, and Nangong Huai, who had just come out of the city on horseback, looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, don't be taken advantage of by the other party." ”

"Yes. Checkmate. Generals, they want to retreat? “

Nangong Huai sneered and said, "Just start fighting and withdraw?" No, rush over immediately! ”

"What?" The deputy general was stunned, a little unclear. I only heard a rumbling sound in the distance, which was not loud or very noticeable. But after listening carefully, I could still hear some of it, and frowned: "This is the sound of water?" "It's not as turbulent and ferocious as a sudden flood, but it's really the sound of the water.

Soon, everyone saw a somewhat turbid flood with white foam sweeping along the Tanxi River outside Siyang City. When the water level exceeded the bank of Tanxi, it quickly spread around. In just a moment, the area of the entire Tanxi has more than tripled. This is no longer a small river, and the area of the river is almost seven or eight zhang wide.

Nangong Huai's face suddenly turned pale, "Nan, Gong, Xu!" ”

Only then did the adjutant general come back to his senses, "General, they dug up the river?" ”

Nangong Huai sneered, "He thought that this little thing would be able to stop the old man?" Come on, take the pontoon! Capture Nangong Xu alive for me! ”

The army in the south is at least better at water warfare than the Youzhou army, and when the water gradually calms down, it is a matter of minutes to build a pontoon bridge or something. Behind the battlefield, watching the busy soldiers on the water from a distance, Xiao Qianjiong said anxiously: "It's over, Brother Nangong, your method is not effective!" ”

Nangong Xu's lips hooked up an inconspicuous smile, raised his hand to take the bow and arrow in the hand of a soldier beside him, and the feather arrow shot towards the water with a flaming flame. Nangong Xu is not too far from the water, not to mention that he doesn't need any accuracy. Whoever the rocket landed on immediately ignited a brilliant fire. In a moment, the fire swept through the entire sleep.

After releasing this arrow, Nangong Xu did not appreciate his results, but just lightly ordered: "Let's go." ”

"Huh? If you don't continue, what will happen to those people? ”

"Leave it alone for now, they'll come to us." Nangong Xudao.

Across the raging fire on the lake, Nangong Huai looked at Nangong Xu and the others who were swaggering away on the other side with a pale face. There were also soldiers wailing in the fire on the lake, and a lot of tung oil was poured on the lake at some point, so that it could not be extinguished for a moment and a half when it burned.

Nangong Huai's eyes were cold, and he clearly saw the mocking look that Nangong Xu left for her when she finally left. was ridiculed by his own son for Nan, Gong, and Xu!

"Send someone to find the opening of the river upstream at once! When the fire is extinguished, cross the river immediately! ”

Knowing that Nangong Huai was angry, the adjutant general next to him didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly responded, "Yes, general." ”

Looking at Nangong Huai, whose expression was distorted, the adjutant general felt that he could understand the general very well. Two times in a row, first held hostage by his daughter and then slapped in the face by his son, he can't stand being a father, right?

At the foot of the mountain not far from Siyang City, Xiao Sangongzi sat on horseback and looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha, did you see that face of Nangong Huai just now?" I guess he's going to be! It's so refreshing! "Since my father was trapped in Fuyun Valley, Xiao Sangongzi has not been so happy.

Looking at Nangong Xu, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, Xiao Qianjiong admired it very much, "Brother Nangong, you are really good!" Admire, admire! ”

Nangong Xu opened his eyes and glanced at him, and closed his eyes lightly.

Lin Changfeng had a little headache and brought Xiao Qianjiong over. Even if you feel happy, don't say it in front of Nangong Xu. No matter how much they turn against each other, they are still their own father and son, and Nangong Xu will be happy to be laughed at by others? So, is Xiao Qianjiong's kid a little stupid?

Xiao Qianjiong blinked, completely unable to understand why Changfeng Gongzi treated himself so roughly. But for the sake of my cousin's cousin's face, my son endured it!

Lin Changfeng sighed and said, "We were happy just now, but if Nangong Huai is like this, I'm afraid it will be enough to choke later." "It is one thing to drag Nangong Huai's footsteps and prevent the troops stationed in Siyang from going to Fuyun Valley to cause chaos. On the other hand, he really wanted to suck all Nangong Huai's anger on them, so that he didn't have time to take care of the affairs of Fuyun Valley.

Xiao Qianjiong calmed down at this time, "That's right, Brother Nangong, where are we going next?" ”

Nangong Xu said lightly: "Peng Cheng." ”

"Huh? What to do in Pengcheng? Xiao Qianjiong said: "Let's run to Pengcheng, Nangong Huai must know that we are planning to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, right?" He may not be fooled. ”

Nangong Xu opened his eyes and said calmly: "Let's go and help General Chen attack Pengcheng." ”

"Regardless of Nangong being pregnant?"

Nangong Xu stopped talking, Xiao Qianjiong shrugged his shoulders and held his head and thought hard.

Nangong Xu's fire burned really well, and it wasn't until the evening that the sky was about to darken, and Siyang's soldiers and horses could finally go out of the city. During the day, the two armies fought for a short time, and the soldiers and horses who crossed the river first were completely wiped out by the Chenzhou army, plus those who were burned to death on the river and washed away by the water, Nangong Huai's command also lost nearly seven or eight thousand people. Although the number of people is not large, there is no doubt that the first confrontation between the father and son with the same surname Nangong was a small victory for Nangong Xu.

"General Qiyu, Nangong Xu led his troops to retreat."

Nangong Huai's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Where did you retreat?" ”

"To the north, in the direction of Pengcheng."

Nangong Huai sneered, "Carving insect skills." What's going on over there in Fuyun Valley? ”

The scout said respectfully: "Fuyun Valley has still not been able to be breached, but General Li sent a message saying that two more days are enough. In addition, General Li asked Wei Gongzi to lead troops to attack his rear all the time, and suffered heavy losses. If this continues, even if you break through Fuyun Valley, you will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. ”

Nangong Huai said coldly: "As long as you can kill or capture King Yan alive, don't say that you will lose eight hundred, even if you lose eight thousand." ”

"Then, General, we are now" The adjutant next to him sat on horseback and said a little anxiously.

Nangong Huai lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "Nangong Xu took someone to Pengcheng to have a round with Chen Yu." Can Shao Zhong and Shi Jingxiang hold Pengcheng? ”

The adjutant general hesitated a little, "General Shao and General Shi are no worse than Yongkang Hou. However, Chen Yu and Nangong Xu are both known for their tricks. Moreover, if their two armies turned, the rebels would have the upper hand. "Nangong Xu's reputation is not significant, but they, the generals who lead the troops, can see that all Nangong Xu needs is time. The few battles he led were very beautiful. Should it be said that he is worthy of being the eldest son of the former Duke of Chu?

They were now faced with two choices, and going to Fuyun Valley Nangong Xu might turn back against them. It is also possible that Pengcheng will be broken. Go to Pengcheng, Fuyun Valley is reassuring. Fuyun Valley has no military value, nor is it a strategic location, but here is Xiao You, the king of Yan, and it is already more important than all places.

Nangong Huai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Chase Nangong Xu!" ”

"General, over there in Fuyun Valley"

Nangong Huai sneered, "With Wei Junmo's hundreds of thousands of troops sandwiched in the middle, what's the use of you going over?" ”

"Even if you can't break through Fuyun Valley, maybe it's okay for the two armies to flank Wei Junmo?" The adjutant general said with some hesitation.

Nangong Huai said coldly: "Li Zhan said that he could break through Fuyun Valley in two days, but the old man thinks that he may not be able to enter if he is given another five days." ”

“”

"You say, where did those people from Zixiao Hall and Nangong Mo go?" Nangong Huai asked.

The deputy general's heart was shocked, the county lord of Xingcheng has always played an important role in the Chenzhou army, but from the beginning to the end, no one from their spies reported where the county lord of Xingcheng went? Now it seems that the whereabouts of the Lord of Star City are also obvious.

Nangong Huai sighed, "It's good if you can kill King Yan, but if you can't kill King Yan, you will lose Pengcheng." You and I can't afford to be guilty. ”

The deputy general was silent, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart, this time such a good opportunity failed to kill King Yan, and it is impossible to have such a chance next time. If I miss this time, I'm afraid that His Majesty Xià won't let them go. ”

Nangong Huai said indifferently: "Let's go, how can King Yan depend on the will of heaven There is such a big place outside Fuyun Valley, and there are many people, and it can't help much." ”

"Yes, General."

T
