The Mid-Autumn Festival has only passed, the blink of an eye has entered September, the weather in early autumn is bleak and bleak, everywhere is a desolate and cold scenery, but the Yizhou Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is full of thick and colorful, the flowers are red and willow green make people have a feeling of confusion of the years.

The night is as cool as water, the bright moon hangs high under the night, and the silver-white moonlight pours in the silent Qingyun Hall, making people feel as if they have walked into a place where no one is dead.

A candle burst out of the bright Sheep's Horn Palace lamp, disrupting the thoughts of the deputy general Wu Mingcheng, he looked at the back of the young handsome man standing by the window, who had just passed the year of the crown, bowed respectfully, his movements were meticulous, and the collision of armor and sword made a sonorous and powerful sound, which sounded particularly sharp and distinct in the dark night, "Master Hou, it's time to rest." ”

The man standing by the window, with a long figure, he was wearing a cyan pine and cypress evergreen striped gown, and his hair was only covered with a mutton fat white hosta, looking at the back was just an ordinary elegant scribe, but his face was handsome, and he was a little thin and clear, his face lines were slightly sharp, and even his eyes were thin. Feeling. Widowed. The cold color of desire, just looking at people, makes people uncontrollable and cold, and the whole body is cold.

After a long time, the man said, "Go down." ”

Wu Mingcheng responded with a little hesitation, and before he walked out of the study, he couldn't help but say again, "Master Hou, the two dragon guards are now living in the guest house, and they will leave for Beijing at the third watch tomorrow." ”

After saying this, he bowed respectfully and exited the study, Wu Mingcheng walked to the outside porch and whispered a few words to the guards guarding him, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of Qingyun Hall.

The Wu family was a slave of the Marquis of Zhongyong earlier, and in his grandfather's generation, because his grandfather was brave and good at fighting, and had some strategies, he was eliminated as a slave by the master's family, and made a personal adjutant for the Marquis of Zhongyong at that time, and his father was the same.

The two have a deep friendship since childhood, and they have a fateful friendship on the battlefield, and over time, he has become the right-hand man of Hou Ye, and Hou Ye values him deeply.

It was precisely because of this importance that he was able to see the emperor's secret letter sent by Long Wei, the secret guard raised by the Wei royal family......

Wu Mingcheng stopped next to the rockery, thinking of the iron painting silver hook that fell on the snow-white rice paper and came from the emperor's handwriting, and his bones were soaked in coolness a little bit.

Wu Mingcheng is a military general, it can be said that because he was deeply influenced by his father, he had a kind of contempt and contempt for the literati from the bones, thinking that the literati were stubborn and pedantic, and their peers were light, and they were gentle and noble on the surface, wise and square, but in fact they were treacherous. cunning and cunning, two-sided and three-stabbed; And these literati and Confucian scholars who only know how to compete for power and profit are really moths raised by the dynasty, and sooner or later they will play with power tricks on them and corrupt the dynasty, and they should be eradicated.

He despised all the literati sitting in the court, and even several famous Confucian scholars in the world despised it, but among these literati, he definitely did not include the Zhuansun family, who was known as the first family of literati.

Wu Mingcheng didn't read much, and he didn't have much interest in books such as national policy advice, so it seems that he really shouldn't have any spiritual friendship with the Zhuan Sun family, who is known as the first family of literati, let alone look at the Zhensun family differently and respect it to the extreme, but the actual situation is not.

Wu Mingcheng, as the first lieutenant general around the Marquis of Zhongyong, actually has a good chest, and he really has some real talents, and the intersection between him and the Zhuan Sun family is the commentary book of "The Complete Map of Daxing Kanyu" compiled by Mr. Xiao Shizhou.

These books were written by Mr. Xiao Shizhou after drawing the "Complete Map of Daxing Kanyu", and only after conducting a rigorous investigation of all the cities and mountains that appeared in Kanyu. It not only records in detail the local cultural customs, but also the changes in the flood season and dry season of each river. The most convenient path to a city and a pond, the people's customs and food conditions, and even the weather conditions in various places over the years, or cloudy fog, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, etc., are clearly recorded, and it is really a necessary "mentor and helpful friend" for generals who lead troops to fight.

Although it has been nearly 300 years since the Great Prosperity and the destruction of the country, due to natural disasters and other reasons, the geography of mountains and rivers have changed slightly, and even the names of some cities and towns have changed a lot, but the actual function of this "Kanyu Quantu" has not been reduced at all, but because it has repeatedly involved the solution to problems such as difficult roads in various places, or poisonous insects, or difficult to maintain food, it has been regarded as Guigao by the generals of the Great Wei, and then Mr. Xiao Shizhou is the entire Zhensun clan as a god, and dare not have the slightest disrespect.

Wu Mingcheng is no exception, he is quite literate, and because he was a scholar next to the Hou Ye, he has read a lot of books, even some families are difficult to access, about Mr. Xiao Shizhou's rest of the books on the art of military war have been involved, and I admire Mr. Xiao Shizhou very much, and I admire the legendary first family of literati Zhen Sun even more, and I only feel that he was born three hundred years later, and his fate is sonorous.

It's just that these admiration and reverence, when they saw His Majesty's handwritten letter, asking Hou Ye to lead 100,000 soldiers, in the name of "helping Qin Qiong, the king of Qin, expel the army of the Western Regions, in fact, secretly explore the path in and out of the Taoxi Valley, and will slaughter the Yuansun clan on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve", their hearts froze.

Emperor Hongyuan ascended the throne for two years, widely benevolent government, many achievements, was regarded by the people as the lord of the Holy Ming, and the Qintian supervisor said that "the dynasty will have the image of Zhongxing", the name of the Hongyuan Emperor Mingjun is becoming more and more prominent, but it is such an "open-minded", the emperor of civil and martial arts, the first secret thing after sitting on the dragon chair, is to exterminate the thousand-year-old hidden family of the Tianxia military generals as "Shengming"!!

The rooster crowed, Wu Mingcheng got up and went to the guest house before the third watch, and led the two dragon guards who were all covered in black cloth into Qingyun Hall.

Qingyun Hall was dark, only the light was on in the study, Wu Mingcheng learned under the signal of the garrison guards that Hou Ye really did not rest last night, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while, both feeling that His Majesty's order was really difficult for a strong man, if there was an omission, Hou Ye was afraid that he would be doomed, not only lost his sacred heart, but also Hou Ye would be scolded by the world; But if the Hou Ye shirked the matter...... Let's not say that the emperor's order cannot be violated, let's just say that this secret order will not be seen in the light, and since the marquis of his own family has learned about it, and he has boarded this thief ship, he will definitely not be able to get off unless he dies. What's more, once a son of heaven and a courtier, although the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was deeply favored by the first emperor, it was left by the first emperor to Emperor Hongyuan to guard the loyal fans of the hinterland of the Great Wei, but Emperor Hongyuan has not particularly reused and trusted the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion since he ascended the throne, which is not conducive to the foundation of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, therefore, no matter how much you consider it now, there is actually only one way left in this matter.

Wu Mingcheng took the secret letter from Hou Ye and handed it to the first Long Wei, and Chi Zhongyuan, who was sitting behind the case, also got up at this time and said, "Lao and the two are virtuous saints, and Chi Zhongyuan will definitely live up to expectations." ”

Long Wei bowed, and then strode out of Qingyun Hall, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Wu Mingcheng came back after sending people off, "Master, do you have to go to the camp today?"

"Three o'clock in the morning."

"Subordinates obey."

In the next period of time, the grain and grass in Yizhou City, including the soldiers under the account of the Marquis of Zhongyong, began to be frequently dispatched, and the generals under the account of the Marquis of Zhongyong all walked with the wind, and they were all excited to rub their hands, and their eyes were red - about to fight, their Hou Ye was escorted by the emperor to send 500,000 loads of grain and grass, led 100,000 soldiers, and will set off in a month later to the border of Longxi to support the King of Qin.

After hearing the news, the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong Zhou and the old lady Lin were panicked and worried, lest Chi Zhongyuan be a little careless, and he would become a gua. woman, and he would have to observe the festival at a young age; One prayed to God and worshiped the Buddha, hoping that this stepson would die in a foreign country, and then the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion would be her son's.

Time flies, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

When the Yizhou army went west, the weather had entered late autumn, and at this time, the Yizhou in the hinterland of the Great Wei was still beautiful, but the northern region had already fluttered snowflakes as big as goose feathers.

The march was not smooth, because they were in a hurry, they could only rest for two hours a day at most, and the soldiers in the south were not adapted to the cold weather in the north, and some people on the road were constantly infected with the wind cold, and even the roads were frozen ground, making it difficult to move an inch.

The hot-tempered general couldn't help but scold his mother, "Dog, when will you be able to get to Longxi like this?"

"Rather than this question, the younger brother wants to know what His Majesty is thinking. To say that there are garrisons in Qingzhou, Qianzhou and other places, and the number is enough to compare with the army of our Yizhou, Your Majesty wants to transfer troops, why bother to seek the near and far? Again, our Yizhou army is dominated by water troops, and water combat is a strong point, although there are also land marches, compared to the Qin family army stationed on the border all year round, the Northwest Army is far from enough......"

"It is true that there are armies in Qingzhou, Qianzhou and other places, but there is not enough grain and grass, and only in the land of Yizhou can I collect 500,000 loads of grain and grass at once. I'm afraid that His Majesty let the Yizhou Army go to the front line to support it is fake, and the most important thing is to send food. ”

"That's the only explanation......"

The Yizhou army walked all the way, and after nearly two months of trekking, it finally entered the Longxi territory at the end of the year. At this time, the water in the north was dripping into ice, and the northwest wind was blowing like a knife, leaving red marks on the faces of those rough-skinned and thick-skinned sergeants. The northwest is icy and snowy, and going out has become a chore, and in view of this, even the constant commotion. The soldiers of the Western Regions who disturbed the northwest border also returned to their respective stations, and they would wait until the spring of the next year to fight again.

The two armies converged, since a feast, so that soon after the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Qiong originally wanted to invite the Yizhou army and others to revel, Chi Zhongyuan took advantage of the name of the camp to join the friends that day, led a hundred soldiers, converged the two hundred Jingwei hidden outside the city, and rushed all the way to the Taoxi Valley.

After dark, they rushed to the town under the Taoxi Valley, and the group entered the inn, but they obviously felt that there were a few more unfamiliar faces here Wu Mingcheng hurried over at this time, "Master, Your Majesty is here."
