Volume 2: The Journey Begins, the Battle of Dongtu Chapter 149 Ouyang Advances West, Nanpeng Shuhu
In the early morning of the next day, Ouyang Lan really left, leaving a letter to Qingcheng, and said that his trip was not to go south, but to the west.
"The brother saw the letter like a meeting. Lan's trip was intended to go west, not only as a family businessman, but also to find out the situation of the border war, so that his brother could anticipate the enemy when he galloped in the future. This trip is very dangerous, but the Ouyang family's business Silk Road has been going on for many years, and it is quite powerful, and there is no danger when it is frightened, so I hope that my brother will not blame it. I hope that my brother will retire from the enemy soldiers early, and he will be a blockbuster and famous in the west. ”
In fact, Ouyang Lan had already planned that when Qingcheng settled down, she would take advantage of the convenience of business to go west to find out the situation of the battle in Xizhui for Qingcheng, as well as the whereabouts of the Warring States Prince.
She had heard Qingcheng say earlier that the key to this battle was still in the Warring States Prince, the Western general. If you can successfully drive the enemy to retreat, and then contact the Warring States to counterattack Dongtu with the momentum of encirclement, you will be able to turn the crisis into safety and turn defeat into victory. Therefore, Ouyang Lan has always kept this matter in mind, thinking that Qingcheng is important to retreat from the enemy, and it must be inseparable from here, so on the side of the Warring States Prince, she will go to find out the information.
However, as Ouyang Lan said, this trip is extremely dangerous, if she tells her frankly, Qingcheng will not allow it. Therefore, she only said goodbye last night and did not explain much. And after she left, someone sent a letter, even if Qingcheng wanted to stay, he couldn't catch up.
After reading the letter left by Ouyang Lan, Qingcheng frowned, was silent, and thought to himself: Lan'er knew that I was worried about the danger of public security in the Warring States and needed to join forces to form an encirclement, so he personally went west to find out information for me. But she knew that I would send someone to the south to find out if she had arrived home safely, so she left a letter, worried that I would not find her, and she was anxious. But Lan'er, if you go west to the east, how can I stop reading it? Ay.
Seeing Qingcheng's frowning, Liu Suifeng knew that he was worried about Ouyang Lan's safety, and after pondering for a while, he couldn't help but step forward and comforted: "Qingcheng, you don't have to worry too much, with the power of the Ouyang family, it should be fine." What's more, the younger brothers and sisters are not very human, the name of the 'Silk Road Ice Lotus' has already resounded in the west, even if it is the Tubo tribes and the eastern map, they will give some face. After all, no matter whether the war is won or lost, whoever is in charge of the Central Plains, all dynasties will appease the three major families in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the younger brother and sister, the eldest lady of the Ouyang family. ”
What Liu Suifeng said is true, the three major families in Jiangnan have a long history, deep-rooted, huge power, and amazing financial resources. When the two countries are at war, no matter who wins or loses, after the war, they must always govern the world and appease the people. And this sentence governs the world, three points rely on governance, and seven points rely on the economy, if there is no support from the southern family, it will definitely be half the result. The Great Qi Liguo is a good example, and I think the Han family was supported by the three major families in the south of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, Ouyang Lan is the eldest lady of the Ouyang family, as long as she does not meet the enemy's mortal enemy, she will be fine. Even, if Dongtu knows her whereabouts, maybe she will take the initiative to show favor and try to win over.
However, how can these Qingcheng not know? It's just that it's about the beloved, even if it's foolproof, you'll be worried, not to mention the dangerous road ahead, how can you be worry-free? However, as soon as Ouyang Lan left, Qingcheng was more eager to retreat from the enemy, hoping to rush to the territory of Dongtu as soon as possible to feel at ease.
Qingcheng nodded, thanked Liu Suifeng for his comforting words, and then let out a sigh of relief and said, "Lan'er has done too much for me. Anyway, since she is on the road, I don't want to worry about it, by the way, big brother, come to me so early, is there something important to discuss? Could it be that the prince has arrived? ”
Qingcheng counted that the day when the king of Northern Xinjiang arrived should be these two days, and saw Liu Suifeng coming to him early in the morning, thinking that it should be this matter. However, hearing him say this, Liu Suifeng first shook his head, then frowned slightly, and said with a little worry: "It's not like this. However, it is strange when you mention it. It stands to reason that the prince is worried about the war, and he must be non-stop, and these two days should come. However, I haven't received a message from the rear until now, if it weren't for the prince's deliberate concealment and wanting to surprise us, it would have been delayed. What will happen? ”
Liu Suifeng's concerns were naturally Qingcheng's doubts, and after the former finished speaking, Qingcheng pondered for a moment, but still didn't know the essentials, so he had to say: "Xu is transferring troops?" At present, this is the only thing that can delay the prince's trip. Or does the prince have another plan and do it himself? ”
"Well, who knows. However, the prince is the god of war of our great Qi, and he acts in his own way, so let's wait. By the way, I'm coming to you for something else. ”
After that, Liu Suifeng took out an object from his arms, reached Qingcheng, and said with a chuckle: "You can be described as 'Yanfu' today, not only did your brother and sister leave you a letter, no, then Yan Shumei also came to you." ”
"Finish your face and soothe your eyebrows? Looking for me? ”
Listening to Liu Suifeng's words, Qingcheng was suddenly surprised, took the letter and opened it to see, sure enough, it was the letter given to him by Yunlong's right minister, Wanyan Shumei. This person first gave favors and gifts, and then wrote letters to win over, and now he is provoking Qingcheng, what kind of conspiracy will there be?
Sixty miles west of Huihe, it was originally a place with pleasant scenery and simple folk customs, and there is a small city here, called Xinyuan. Xinyuan has fertile land, the people are easy to cultivate, and it is rich in fresh fruits, which can be used for fruit snacks and all kinds of fruit wine. Before the war, the people here were carefree and lived a very nourishing life. However, not long ago, the Yunlong army pressed the border, attacked the city strongly, disturbed the people and plundered the land, and let this small city, which had no quarrel with the world, be swept away by the bloody rain.
Xinyuan Chengshou is a second-class Wenli Bo Li Chong, this humanistic collection, the best poetry and wine, but the character is unruly, unwilling to enter the official office, inherited the title of earl before traveling all over the world, if not for the father is seriously ill, I don't know where to go. Later, his father died of illness, and Li Chong became a lord, although he was stubborn, but he also cared for the people. He doesn't like to dance with guns and sticks, but he has studied the law of governing the state, and he leads the people to live a carefree life with plenty of food and clothing, but he is also happy.
However, Wen Libo was not treated well by Emperor Hui, so he was assigned here, so he had no real power, and the defenders in the city were only seven or eight thousand. In the face of tens of thousands of elites of Yunlong, where can they resist. In addition, Li Chong was not good at fighting on the battlefield, and he did not want the soldiers and people to sacrifice in vain, so he had to open the door to meet the enemy, abandon his weapons and surrender. Li Chong was also put in prison and awaited his release.
At this time, the city guard mansion was full of cloud dragon soldiers bravely deployed, and in the conference hall, there were many familiar faces. Yan Zhanlie and Du Lin stood respectfully aside, and opposite the two of them was a strong man with a tiger's back and a majestic waist.
This person is over forty years old, and his face is full of vicissitudes, but he is majestic and radiant. His long hair hung down behind him, and he wore a few thick braids; has a pair of thick lying silkworm eyebrows, the eyebrow peak is raised, slightly arrogant; The eyes are slightly narrowed, Shuangmu is small and smart, and his eyes are sharp and compelling; The bridge of the nose is high, the ears are long, and the earlobes are thick, and the appearance is blessed. The skin is slightly dark, the people are tall and the horses are big, and the holes are powerful.
The man has a scar on his left cheek that runs from the front of his ear to his chin, which looks very scary. However, those who knew him well knew that the scar was also a symbol of his glory. Not for anything else, just because this scar is left by the "royal road".
That's right, this person has fought against the king of the Northern Frontier, and the battle is fifty rounds without a win. Later, Yunlong Mingjin withdrew his troops, he was in a hurry, and was seized by the king of Northern Xinjiang and almost cut off his head. Fortunately, he reacted in time and saved his life, but he was left with this terrible scar.
The king of Northern Xinjiang appreciated his outstanding martial arts and extraordinary courage, and bluntly said that among the four generals of Yunlong, no one is better than him in terms of bravery. That's right, this person is one of the four generals of Yunlong, and it is the commander of the vanguard army in this battle with Qi, the general of Nanpeng, and the peak of Shuhu.
Shuhu Peak, Yunlong nobleman, learned martial arts since childhood, too ordinary, after joining the army, he repeatedly made military exploits, and showed extraordinary courage and courage in the battle with the king of Northern Xinjiang, and was named the commander of the Nanpeng Army, and was given the title "Nanpeng General".
The four generals of Yunlong are all talented generals, and this peak of the Tiger can fight with the king of Northern Xinjiang for fifty rounds without winning or losing, which shows the high level of his martial arts. This time Yunlong attacked, Nanpeng Army is the vanguard, under the leadership of Shuhu Fengfeng, there are Dulin and Utinggui left and right pioneers to open the way, all the way unstoppable, Lianke Eight Cities, has already spread to the territory of Yunlong, no one knows.
However, the sudden blow made them a little at a loss, Qingcheng came out of nowhere, a little-known young general, was able to recapture the land of the three cities in two days, and annihilated nearly 30,000 enemies, and also killed the right vanguard Utingwe. After Du Lin and Yan Zhanlie retreated to Huihe, Shuhu Gaofeng heard about the incident here, and became belligerent, claiming that he wanted to go to Qingcheng for a while.
However, the powerful came to the court, and the right virtuous minister was ordered to take over the matter of attacking Qi, not only did Shuhu Fengfeng not allow him to invite Qingcheng to fight, but he abandoned the city without a fight, and took the initiative to give up Huihe. This move is simply a great shame in the eyes of the martial arts general-turned-Shuhu Gaofeng. However, the right sage is in a high position, and even if he is angry, he can only swallow it in his stomach.
At this moment, in the council hall, Shuhu Gaofeng, Du Lin and Yan Zhanlie were standing on both sides, and the person sitting on the main seat was actually a young woman. However, judging from the respectful attitude of the three of them, this person should be the legendary Yunlong Right Minister, and his face is soothing.
Wanyan Shu Mei, Yunlong is right, the sister of the Black Wolf King. This woman is over 20 years old and in the prime of her life. She is beautiful and tall, cold and arrogant, with white skin and crystal clear. She has a pair of heroic eyebrows, the eyebrows are high, but they are slightly smoother than the men's sword eyebrows, and they are more lovable; She has bright eyes and bright teeth, double pupils cut water, phoenix eyes with affection, seductive soul, and at first glance, she is charming. The nose is petite and cute, and there are cherry mouths to decorate the nose, one by one touching heartstrings.
She had beautiful long hair that hung down behind her, with a red rope tied at the end of her hair and a strand of pigtails tied on each side of her face. She was wearing a red power suit with a colorful peacock embroidered on her clothes, fluttering her wings and hanging her head, just holding a manzhu shahua embroidered on the hem of her skirt in her mouth.
This woman is charming and moving, but her demeanor is dignified and atmospheric, although she is a daughter, but in this front line of war, no one treats her respectfully. And her look of honor and disgrace did not surprise her, she seemed to be in control of the overall situation, calm and calm. She looked at the three people in the hall silently, looked carefully, and after a moment of silence, coughed lightly, and asked, "Is there any wine?" ”
