Mu Bai's expression moved when he heard this, he closed his eyes, fourteen years of waiting, how could he relax at this moment, but looking at Jiang Mei's delicate body, how could he let go.

Jiang Mei saw that he was already moved, so she comforted: "You can all rest assured!" I took a boat to Xiakou, lying on the couch is no different from here, and besides, I am just following the army of Cheng'an, and I will never interfere in what I should not do. Everyone can barely agree with the first half of the sentence, but no one believes the latter sentence. Fei Lian puffed out his cheeks when he heard this, but obviously still didn't agree.

However, Jiang Mei chose to continue to persuade Mu Bai, "Brother Mu, I just went to see Pei Yan, the war is their business, if the three parties march and can't win a Xiakou, then Pei Yun and Mu Shizi are prestigious." ”

After being silent for a long time, Mu Bai finally nodded and agreed to her. Jiang Mei smiled, and a smile bloomed on her face. Everyone else was disappointed. Only Jiuzhu and Ruoxue are still calm. They are used to such scenes, and only the young lady has always persuaded others, and the one who can convince them is probably not born yet!

After Jiang Mei smiled, she didn't make a sound, gradually, the atmosphere became a little dignified, everyone will be separated tomorrow, not to mention that as soon as the matter in Jingzhou is over, she will return to the capital.

Fei Lian lowered his head and took a sip of wine, although he couldn't see the look behind the mask, he could feel his sadness. The others weren't much better.

Jiang Mei sensed everyone's parting feelings, and smiled faintly: "Believe me, I will be back soon, waiting for me to attack Xiangyang together!" ”

A few numbers express the infinite love in my heart.

Then everyone toasted to each other proudly, for the reunion of the deceased. For the return of Jingling, for tomorrow's separation, for the imminence of ideals!

Early the next morning, Jiang Mei, Ruoxue, Jiuzhu, Dongcheng and Lian Cheng'an led 15,000 soldiers and horses to Xiakou by land and water. In order not to arouse Mu Xiaohe's suspicion, Jiang Mei still took Dongcheng with her.

In Yuan Kai's mansion in Xiakou, a group of army generals were anxiously waiting for Yuan Kai's arrival. Some of the young soldiers frowned, whispering in twos and threes on both sides of the hall, and at a glance they knew that they were all anxious about the current war.

Rong Jie and Xing Yunwen sat on one side and talked softly, while Bao Zhi sat alone on the other side and pondered. Just take a sip of wine every now and then. And not words.

"General Rong, Xiakou is now being attacked on three sides, what do you think..."Xing Yunwen couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, since he returned from the defeat of Echeng. I've been devastated in my heart. Confidence in Yuan Jun is not as strong as before.

Rong Jie's expression was solemn. There is a slight regret hidden on his wrinkled face, but as a veteran of Yuan Kai. He knows how to control his feelings, "Yunwen, don't think about why this is happening at this time, but find a way to face such a crisis!" His tone was soft, but there was a sense of firmness.

Xing Yunwen also realized his impatience and hurriedly said, "Yes... Yes..."

"Jiangxia was attacked by Mu Shizi and Ling Heng, what about Jingling? Who got it? A trace of doubt flashed in Rong Jie's eyes, the most difficult thing for him to accept was that Jingling was quietly taken away, who had such a ability?

"I heard that it was occupied by a guard general in Yiyang, and it was also related to Mu Shizi, he designed to lure General Xu away, and then let people take the opportunity to capture Jingling!" Xing Yunwen replied.

Rong Jie shook his head, "If you can take Jingling without blood, you must have been able to take Jingling before Mu Shizi came to Jingzhou." ”

"That's very likely to be Qiu Shaoping from Suijun!" Xing Yunwen said firmly.

Rong Jie nodded slightly, thinking that there was only this possibility, but this matter was too strange. Rong Jie pondered for a moment, and Yuan Kai stepped into the lobby calmly step by step.

When the crowd saw him enter, they immediately stopped the discussion, got up, and lined up neatly on both sides.

Yuan Kai walked to the hall and glanced at everyone, everyone immediately bowed their heads and did not dare to meet them, Yuan Kai saw their solemn expressions, knowing that they were worried about the current battle situation.

After he walked to the main seat, he turned around and raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Rank general, you have been fighting with me for many years, from Dayan in the north to Sichuan and Shu in the west. ”

Yuan Kaiguo is worthy of being a veteran for many years, and he knows that the most important thing to do at this time is to give his subordinates confidence, but one thing he didn't understand is that whether it is Sichuan Shu or Dayan, they are all fighting to defend the country, but now they are killing each other because of internal power struggles. Therefore, what the entire Yuan army lacked most was not excellent generals, not soldiers, not food and grass, but the courage to fight the enemy!

But despite this, the generals below were a little pale because they were encouraged by Yuan Kai.

At this time, Bao Zhizhi stood up and arched his hand and said: "General, now that the soldiers and horses of Jingling, Jiangxia and Pei Yun are coming to attack Xiakou, I don't know what deployment the general will make?" ”

Yuan Kai sat down slowly, as soon as he thought of the loss of Jingling and Jiangxia, Yuan Kai had a headache, and the appearance of Mu Xiaohe surprised him, but what really shocked him was the loss of Jingling. He refused to believe that Yuan Zhen's Jingling, which had been in business for more than ten years, was actually taken by someone.

He didn't answer Bao Zhizhi's question, but asked everyone out loud, "Have you inquired about the situation in Jingling clearly?" ”

Bao Zhizhi replied: "I only know that General Xu died on the way to rescue Jiangxia, and Jingling was occupied by a young general from Yiyang, and the remaining soldiers and horses in the city have been controlled by them. ”

Yuan Kai's eyes shot straight ahead, silent, he was trying to suppress his anger, but he lost it, and the door of Xiakou was opened, if they captured Lushan, then he really had no way to retreat. So you must defend Lushan.

He looked up at Rong Jie, presumably Rong Jie, like himself, had already understood Jiang Xia's situation, and even more so knew where to exert his strength.

Rong Jie saw Yuan Kai looking at him, the two looked at each other, decades of birth and death allowed them to understand each other's thoughts just by meeting their eyes.

Rong Jie immediately got up and arched his hand and said, "General, let the veteran go to guard Lushan!" I'd like to see who can swallow the tomb! He has a powerful physique, and the momentum of his head held high when he spoke shocked the young generals present, even the veterans did not lose their demeanor back then.

Yuan Kai nodded approvingly, Rong Jie and Pan Changzai are his indispensable right and left hands, Pan Changzai is calm and old-fashioned and good at guarding the city, while Rong Jie can not only lead the troops to fight but also give Yuan Kai advice, is Yuan Kai's first think tank. As long as Rong Jie is there, Lu Shan can keep it, and he believes that Da Huan has no one to defeat Rong Jie with soldiers.

Yuan Kai stood up and shouted to the generals: "Okay! Nalu Mountain will be handed over to General Rong, and the other generals will attack Pei Yun with me, and Pei Yun will never come back! ”

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and the aftermath echoed in the lobby, with a kind of reverberation. (To be continued......)
