Mu Xiaohe sighed, although what she said was completely reasonable, but she couldn't agree to her request.

"If the prince doesn't agree to me, I will go back to Plum Blossom Valley from now on and never go to the capital again." She raised her eyebrows to meet her, her eyes determined. She knew that threats worked best for him, and when she was young, she relied on him to let him take her out to play.

The more Jiang Mei thought about it, the figure in her mind coincided with the man in front of her, her eyes were full of sadness in an instant, and her heart ached, how could she let him be hurt a little, only when Jiuzhu was by his side, she could really rest assured.

Mu Xiaohe looked at the sadness in her eyes in a daze, and her expression began to be in a trance again, every time, without exception, as long as she looked at her, it was this feeling, and she felt inexplicable heartache.

He nodded involuntarily.

Jiang Mei had a touch of bitterness on the corner of her lips and said with a smile: "Okay! Take care of that son, and say goodbye! Then he turned around and instructed Jiuzhu and Yinxin: "Initiation, take care of the living of the son." She looked at Jiuzhu with a smile and said in a low voice: "Jiuzhu, protect him as if you were protecting me, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Jiuzhu replied with a painful expression, and then led the horse to follow behind Mu Xiaohe.

Jiang Mei finally glanced at Mu Xiaohe with a smile, and then was helped on the horse by Ruoxue, and the four of them galloped away.

Mu Xiaohe immediately stopped hesitating, turned around and got on the horse, and galloped towards Yuncheng with Jiuzhu and Yinxin.

After a day of galloping, Mu Xiao and his party arrived in Yuncheng in the evening.

Jiuzhu took Mu Xiaohe's holy token and showed it to the guards at the city gate, and the guards learned Mu Xiaohe's identity and led him to Ling Heng's residence. After Ling Heng occupied Yuncheng, he turned a wide mansion in the city into a military camp council.

Ling Heng had already learned the news of Mu Shizi's coming, so he was already waiting outside the mansion, he saw a man in a white crown and green robe driving slowly towards the mansion on a tall horse from a distance, that handsome and elegant face and outstanding demeanor made Ling Heng immediately recognize the person who came.

After Ling Heng saw Mu Xiaohe dismounting, he walked towards him.

"Ling Heng has seen Mu Shizi, but he didn't know that Shizi was coming, he didn't greet him from afar, and he hoped to forgive his sins!" Ling Heng bowed his hand and bowed.

Mu Xiaohe had already seen Ling Heng in military uniform, and when he saw his face and demeanor, and his heroic posture was compelling, he knew that the rumors were true, so he smiled and said: "General Ling is polite, the general has been attacking the city for more than a month, and his hard work is high, and His Majesty is very grateful." ”

"Ling Heng is so virtuous, he is only afraid of disturbing the Holy Hearing, and he hopes to be able to make meritorious contributions and serve the court." Ling Heng was a little terrified when he heard this.

"The general is too worried, the saint does not blame the general, this is just the two Yuan brothers who committed a rebellion, the general can restrain himself from the precipice and return to the imperial court, His Majesty can't help but be overjoyed." Mu Xiaohe was relieved to see him so humble.

"Ling Heng will definitely do his best to break through Jiangxia in order to repay His Majesty." Ling Heng said gratefully.

"Haha... So very good, His Majesty ordered me to assist the general in attacking Jiangxia. Mu Xiaohe said with a smile.

Ling Heng then led Mu Xiaohe into the mansion, "Shizi, please..." said as he walked: "Yuncheng is a remote town, not as good as the capital and Xiakou, let the prince stoop here, Ling Heng is ashamed. ”

Mu Xiaohe saw that the courtyard was simple and generous, but he was also happy, "Where, where, the people of the military can still be picky, not to mention that this place is simple and elegant, it is rare." ”

This was the first time Ling Heng had seen Mu Xiaohe, and after only a short time of getting along, he felt that this Mu Shizi was humble and elegant, open-minded, and admired him very much in his heart.

Then Ling Heng led him to sit down in the hall and instructed the guards to serve wine and prepare food.

"A lonely town, simple and simple, looking at the world's son Haihan!" Ling Heng said politely.

"The general should not be so polite, but bother the general to tell me about the military situation in Jiangxia." Mu Xiaohe sat down and took a sip of wine, then asked.

As soon as the battle was mentioned, Ling Heng held his breath, he immediately asked the guards to spread out the map, and introduced to Mu Xiaohe: "Yuncheng is in the upper reaches of Jiangxia, occupying a favorable terrain, Jiangxia's guard is Yuan Shu, and later Yuan Kai sent a young general to reinforce, called Lian Cheng'an, although this Lian Cheng'an is young, but he is a good soldier, and the only defeat I have eaten in Jiangxia is in his hands." He was good at raiding, and Yuan Shu was good at defending the city, so it has been a stalemate to this day. ”

Mu Xiaohe nodded, "Now that Pei Xiang has led 10,000 horses and horses to Jiangxia with Xu Liang, I have received news from them, and I will arrive at the south side of Jiangxia at noon tomorrow." ”

Ling Heng was overjoyed to see that there were reinforcements, "This is very good, then we will rectify the men and horses today, go down the river early tomorrow morning, and have a north-south attack with Xu Liang." ”

"Exactly, but we need to make two preparations, one is to prevent Xu Xiaoyuan from taking the opportunity to raid Yuncheng, and the other is to use a part of the troops to lure Lian Cheng'an out of the city, and then fight with Xu Liang." Mu Xiaohe pondered.

As soon as he mentioned Xu Xiaoyuan of Jingling, Ling Heng sighed, "If I hadn't been guarding him, I would have taken Jiangxia a long time ago, Shizi, now, although General Pei and Yuan Kai are stuck near Xiakou, and Yuan Shu and I are deadlocked in Jiangxia, it is actually because of Jingling!" Jingling is actually the most delicate place in Jingzhou's situation. ”

He raised his head and took a sip of wine, then said: "I heard that Dayan has stationed tens of thousands of troops in Xiangyang, and he is staring at Jingling with fierce eyes. ”

Mu Xiaohe was shocked when he heard this, "What? He stared at Ling Heng and said nervously, "You said that Dayan intends to go south?" As soon as he thought of Jiang Mei, who went to Jingling alone, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"Exactly, but they will not act rashly, one Xu Xiaoyuan has been guarding Jingling, and the other is guarded by General Qiu Shaoping in the upper reaches of Yuncheng, General Qiu is a veteran, and his prestige in the army is very high, I have dealt with him a few times, this person is honest but also arrogant, he guards the county with peace and is dedicated to preventing Yan thieves, he never participates in the internal strife of Dahuan, so the Yuan brothers please not move him."

Speaking of Qiu Shaoping, Ling Heng's eyes were full of admiration, he should have been like him to defend the tomb, otherwise he would not be in the embarrassing situation he is in now.

Mu Xiaohe was a little relieved after hearing this, "If we attack Jiangxia, Xu Xiaoyuan will definitely come to the rescue, will Dayan raise troops to the south?" Mu Xiaohe was a little hesitant at the moment, and Jingling was already called the biggest constraint.

Mu Xiaohe was also hesitating, in case he lured the wolf into the room, it would be far harmful.

Just as the two of them sighed for a long time, Jiuzhu interjected coldly, "The prince can attack Jiangxia with confidence, my young lady has her own arrangements." ”

Mu Xiaohe looked up at him when he heard this, and when he saw that he looked calm and peaceful, he understood more why Jiang Mei asked him to follow him. Since Jiuzhu said so, it can be seen that Jiang Mei has a back hand, and if she doesn't move, she will be restrained, so she has to take a risk. (To be continued.) )
