Many forces gathered near Jianye City, and Wang Pingyao, who was in Poyang County, took the opportunity to expand his power. Cui Ji has been paying close attention to Jianye's war, he knows that Cefu has started a war with the Xuanjia Army, and is ready to gather strength in the area of Poyang County before going to Jianye to defeat Emperor Wen.

The Yiling Pass Flame Legion has started a war with the Southern Chu Xiangjia Army, and after a few battles, the two sides have won and lost each other.

In the east of Wankou, Yuji recovered most of his injuries, and he asked his friends to stick to Wankou and went to Jianye by himself. The friend was a little helpless, but Yuji left him without restraint, so he agreed.

Qinggu, Yuan Yichen called Feng Xunzhi, Dong Yun, and Sun Lin to prepare to set off again and go to Jianye, now many people in Qinggu are going out, Ye Weiwei can only stay as the master of a door, but she still let her descendant disciple Ye Qin go out of the valley with everyone, Ye Qin was an orphan, adopted by Ye Weiwei since childhood, and followed Ye Weiwei's surname Ye, who is already twenty-eight years old, generous, and has learned seventy percent of Ye Weiwei's medical skills. Yuan Yichen was reluctant to go out with his junior sister, but Ye Weiwei insisted, and considering that it was very dangerous for everyone to go out of the valley, and it was also quite advantageous to have a disciple of the medical sect to take care of him, so he agreed. Ye Qin was already quite curious about the world outside Qinggu, and he was naturally very happy to learn that he could go out of the valley with his senior brothers, and everyone left Qinggu the next day.

Han Jing hid in Jianye City for a while, and when the war eased a little, he went out of the city and prepared to leave, and happened to meet Xiao Zhongtan, the two got together, and both mentioned the battle of Xuancheng, and worried about Chen Fan again. Then Han Jing decided to leave Jianye first, he had some clues about Jiuli that he got from the Jianzheng Mansion, and decided to go back to Qinggu to inquire about ancient books and find out the connection between Xuanqingzi, Qimen Dunjia, Annotation, and Jiuli. Xiao Zhongqin didn't stop him and told him to be careful all the way.

In the palace of Jianye City, there were not many remaining troops of the Xuanjia army, and Zhong Xu ordered the whole army to reduce the defensive position, so that the area occupied by the Xuanjia army was only a few miles around the palace. Emperor Wen saw that the other party was retreating, and he ordered Zhang Jue to deal with these Xuanjia troops as soon as possible. After Zhang Jue listened to the order, he immediately ordered the East Vietnamese soldiers to press the whole army, and the Xuanjia army fell into a bitter battle again, and all the soldiers were in a desperate situation, and they were all a little desperate. Jin Huiqun didn't dare to go into battle at will since he met Shu Zhenghe, and Zhang Jue urged him several times, but he could only lead the army into battle, praying not to run into Shu Zhenghe again. The East Vietnamese sergeants rushed to kill several times, and the Xuanjia army stubbornly resisted again and again.

At the Fenglin Ferry, Ye Zheng, Mo Buyu, and Mo Liu led a group of Cefu sergeants to fight with the white horse cavalry for a while, this time the wind evil did not appear, Ye Zheng commanded the sergeants to continuously stop the impact of the white horse cavalry, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, the white horse cavalry has not been able to jump over the defense of Cefu, which makes Gao Huan very annoyed, for a long time, they can't afford to consume, if it has been difficult to advance an inch, and when Jianye City is completely recovered, and the armies of East Vietnam have recovered, then it will be meaningless for their Gao family to invade East Vietnam.

Emperor Wen was in Jianye City, received a report from the sergeant, the Fenglin Ferry appeared in the Northern Qin Gaojia White Horse Cavalry, Cefu was dividing troops to intercept, the two armies had fought several battles, Cefu had a slight advantage, and the two sides were facing each other at the Fenglin Ferry at this moment. Hearing this news, Emperor Wen and Chen Yinuo were shocked, but they didn't expect that the Xuanjia Army of Western Wei in the city had not yet been resolved, and the cavalry of Northern Qin appeared outside the city again. Emperor Wen could only summon Xuan Dong to discuss countermeasures.

When Xuan Dong heard Emperor Wen's summons, he guessed that it must be for the sake of the White Horse Cavalry, so he took a few entourage sergeants and went to the camp of Emperor Wen of the East Vietnamese Army. As soon as I entered the camp, I saw Emperor Wen, Chen Yinuo, Zhang Jue, Jin Huiqun and others all frowning. After Emperor Wen saw Xuan Dong, he stood up, although he had a lot of complaints about Xuan Dong, but he had no choice, if there was no policy, Jianye City would inevitably be unsafe, he could only suppress his anger and ask Xiang Xuandong: "Governor, in the current situation, can there be a way to deal with it?" Xuan Dong's attitude was calm, and he replied slowly: "The white horse cavalry is coming faster, and the Cefu has already gone to stop it, but I'm afraid it's not just the Northern Qin Gao family that is coming." ”

When Emperor Wen heard Xuan Dong say this, a cold sweat broke out on his body, and he paused for a while. Zhang Jue had already learned from Liu Shang that the wind evil was coming, and he was in the Gao family's ranks, he didn't speak, and silently listened to Xuan Dong's countermeasures. Chen Yinuo was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked, "Governor Dadu, do you mean that there are other troops coming?" ”

Xuan Dong nodded and said, "The Xuanjia Army has been resisting stubbornly, I'm afraid it's waiting for the support of the Wushu battalion, as for the other forces, I haven't guessed it for a while." After saying this, Xuan Dong looked straight at Zhang Jue, Zhang Jue's eyes touched Xuan Dong's sharp eyes, and he did not dodge, but replied coldly: "Presumably the general has made arrangements." ”

When Emperor Wen heard Zhang Jue's words, he felt that Xuan Dong had always maintained his composure, and he must have been confident, so he opened his mouth and asked Xiang Xuandong: "Governor, the current situation is urgent, just explain what countermeasures and deployments you have, don't worry about it." ”

Xuan Dong was silent for a while, he categorically would not tell his plan in its entirety, but Emperor Wen inquired, he still had to explain, so he stepped forward and replied quite respectfully: "The government divides the troops, go to the outside of the city to set up defenses, no matter what kind of military force comes, resist with all your might, and the city will rely on Mr. Zhang and General Jin, the Xuanjia army is a battle of trapped beasts, just in case, only need to be firmly encircled, and when the Western Wei reinforcements outside the city are repulsed, then Zhong Xu has no support, so he will naturally not attack." ”

Emperor Wen listened to Xuan Dong's arrangement, thought for a while, and replied: "Do you mean to solve the enemy outside the city first, instead of sweeping away the Xuanjia army first, and relying on the defense of Jianye City?" ”

Xuan Dong nodded again, but Emperor Wen was a little annoyed, his tone suddenly became a little stern, and said: "No, the Xuanjia army occupies the palace, which makes me Dongyue's face exist, Xuandong, you lead the Cefu to resist the enemy outside the city, and allocate a part of the troops to help Zhang Jue and Jin Huiqun to eliminate the Xuanjia army with all their might." Emperor Wen was excited for a while, and changed his words to call Xuan Dong's name. When Xuan Dong heard Emperor Wen's words, he sighed silently in his heart, and replied helplessly: "Since Your Majesty has decided so, the ministers should obey their orders." Then Xuan Dong found an excuse to deal with military affairs, turned around and went back to the camp of Cefu.

Emperor Wen also asked everyone to retreat, and stayed alone in the tent, thinking for a long time. Although Xuan Dong rushed to Jianye to save the driver, after the city was broken, he was not in a hurry to eliminate the Xuanjia Army, which reminded him of what Chen Yinuo had told him before, Xuan Dong and Zhong Xu's separate meeting, and he guessed that the two must have reached some agreement. And Zhang Jue and Jin Huiqun, although they are both leading the army to fight against the Xuanjia Army at the moment, they have not been able to break through the palace, and he is also very angry, he has no real military momentum in his hands, so he can only endure it for the time being. Xiao Cheng and Liu Yanzheng have been fighting with the sergeants of Cefu since they broke the door, and they also silently wrote down the two of them. Emperor Wen thought of the scene before Wang Zhishu's death, and suddenly found that he was now like a lonely person, from Mo Puzhi, Zou Gonggong, Chen Lin to Xiao Cheng, Liu Yanzheng, Dong Yun, Mo Buyu, Mo Liu, at that time, the group of people who were loyal to protect him either died or left, and he really felt helpless. Thinking about these people around him now, even if it is Chen Yinuo, he doesn't trust it. It was struggling, which made him suddenly feel a little desperate. Just when he was helpless, he thought of Zhang Jue. If what Chen Lin said at that time was true, then Jiuli should have been deployed in Dongyue for a long time, and he couldn't find the rest of the loyal people at this moment, so it was better to cooperate with Jiuli, as long as he could regain control of Fengtian Temple, and then consolidate his power, it would not be too late to exterminate it. Thinking of this, he called someone to invite Zhang Jue back.

After Zhang Jue and Jin Huiqun left Emperor Wen's tent, they went back to the barracks together, and on the way, Zhang Jue asked Jin Huiqun with great meaning: "General Jin, what do you think of Zhong Xu, the commander of the Xuanjia Army?" ”

When Jin Huiqun heard Zhang Jue ask about Zhong Xu, he was immediately alert and replied calmly: "I don't know, I haven't seen Zhong Xu come out." ”

Zhang Jue suddenly laughed, and said with a cold face: "I heard that you met him alone. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't laugh, this, how, maybe." Hearing this, Jin Huiqun was already a little stammering, but Zhang Jue asked further: "You can't be a spy of Western Wei, right?" ”

"This joke is too big, I am loyal to Your Majesty, you can't frame me." Jin Huiqun would definitely go up and argue on weekdays, but at this moment, Zhang Jue was in control of the army, and he could only hold back his anger and make hasty quibbles.

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhang Jue suddenly became stern and wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the interrogator, but behind him, Emperor Wen's entourage came up and stopped him, saying that it was summoned by His Majesty, and Zhang Jue could only temporarily let go of Jin Huiqun and went to Emperor Wen's camp.

When Emperor Wen saw Zhang Jue coming, he broke up his entourage and was alone with Zhang Jue in the camp. Zhang Jue vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is there anything important for me to do?" Emperor Wen's eyes tightened, he was silent for a while, and asked in an extremely cold voice: "You are from Jiuli, right?" ”

When Zhang Jue heard Emperor Wen ask Jiuli, he slowly condensed his strength behind his back with one hand, and at the same time quickly observed the surroundings to determine if there was an ambush.

Emperor Wen was a little nervous when he saw Zhang Jue, and continued: "There is no one else here, you don't have to be nervous. ”

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly ask that?" Zhang Jue stared at Emperor Wen and spoke silently.

"If you are from Jiuli, we can make a deal, as long as we help me recapture Dongyue, what conditions can be mentioned." When Emperor Wen said this, Zhang Jue understood in an instant that this was Emperor Wen's compromise.

Zhang Jue didn't answer immediately, but looked around with deep meaning, once again made sure that no one was ambushed, stepped forward, and said coldly: "Your Majesty is not afraid of Jiuli?" ”

"Cooperation, both sides are beneficial, there is no so-called fear or fear." Emperor Wen trembled a little in his heart, this is undoubtedly a dangerous move, but Wang Zhichou said that if you want to sit firmly in Fengtian Temple, you need someone to push it, as long as you can sit firmly, don't care too much about who the person pushing you is.

"Your Majesty wait for two days, and I will naturally reply to you." Zhang Jue said this, indirectly acknowledging his identity, and at the same time expressing his willingness to cooperate.

Emperor Wen was still indifferent, and reluctantly squeezed out one word: "Good." ”
