The fifth son, Meng Du, brought people to Hebei, and it has been some days since he tracked down the murderer of Meng Yang, although he has some clues, but he still has not been able to find out the real murderer, and he seems a little anxious.

He paced in the tent with his hands behind his back, suddenly stood still, and pointed to Cen Shendao:

"Call Guo Xu to me!"

"Childe, Guo Xu is serving in the battalion, and I heard that there is military affairs in his body."

Meng Du's forehead was red, and he scolded: "His grandmother's, it's against him!" You go and ask him, is it the military affairs that matter, or the orders of my Meng Du! ”

"Whoa!"

Not long after, Guo Xu, the third-level captain of the First Heavy Cavalry Brigade of the First Division of the Flying Tiger Sixth Army, ran in out of breath, and as soon as he saw Meng Du, he immediately knelt down: "The last general, Guo Xu, meet the fifth son." ”

"Guo Xu!" Meng Du glared and said, "Let me ask you, what were you three thousand ironclad cavalry doing on the day Meng Yang was assassinated?" Are you a bunch of scrap metal? Can the Lord die in his own barracks?! Not to mention that Meng Yang is still a nine-rank general, even if she is a woman, you can't let her hurt a hair! ”

"The fifth prince is angry! That assassin acted treacherously and silently, we didn't notice it at the time, Fifth Prince, but if we noticed his existence, the last general would rather die than let him hurt the general in the slightest! ”

Guo Xu's eyes quickly turned red, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.

Seeing Guo Xu's expression, Meng Du's temper was suppressed a lot, and he paced a few steps indignantly, and said: "It's also strange, Meng Yang is a real nine-rank general, how could he be killed in an instant?" ”

Guo Xu hurriedly said: "It's the same nine products, after the assassin released an arrow, in fact, General Meng didn't die, it was the poison on the arrow, and the poison didn't know what kind of medicinal power it was, General Meng couldn't speak, he just pointed to the outside of the tent, opened his mouth and screamed twice, and then swallowed." ”

"There were only two ninth-grade shooters in the world. If it's not Xiao Wujian, it must be Han Furong. But Xiao Wujian is in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and Han Furong is my friend. Do you mean that I killed Meng Yang? ”

"No, no, no, don't dare, don't dare!" Guo Xu fell into a panic, pointed to the outside of the tent and said, "It must be Xiao Wujian who did it, it must be him!" ”

Subconsciously, Meng Du looked in the direction of Guo Xu's finger, he was referring to the south.

Meng Du suddenly slowed down: "You said it was archery, so where is the arrow?" ”

Guo Xu hurriedly said: "I was reflected back by General Meng." ”

"You mean, Meng Yang was still able to fight back at that time?" Meng Du knocked on the table, "But what about the arrows?" ”

"My subordinates sent someone to look for it, but they didn't find it."

"Didn't find it?"

Guo Xu said with a rather mysterious look: "Fifth son, that person is a nine-rank archer and has the ability to catch arrows. ”

"Big joke!" Meng Du became angry again, stood up and stretched out his right hand, "Come, Guo Xu, you are also a six-rank general, you stand up for me, I will shoot you an arrow now, I will see if you can catch my arrow." ”

Guo Xu knelt on the ground, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, don't dare, five sons, I'm not a shooter, let alone a nine-grade shooter, that's a unique stunt of the nine-pin, the end will never be able to do it, never be able to do it!" ”

Guo Xu kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Meng Du rolled his eyes fiercely: "Then why can't Meng Yang catch that arrow!" The more he talked, the more angry he became, patting the table and saying, "You tell me, tell me!" If you can't say it, I'll kill you today! ”

At this time, Jiupin Swordsman Ji Yifa walked in from outside, he just swept the people in the house, and then approached Meng Du directly, and whispered something, Meng Du was stunned.

"And that kind of thing?" Listening to Ji Yifa's words, Meng Du frowned, sighed and said, "He Meng Yang is really damned..., hey, no, where is that woman now?" ”

Ji Yifa shook his head.

Meng Du sat in the chair, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that things may not be as I thought at the beginning, perhaps, before the killer, Meng Yang was already poisoned." ”

——

Tang Yuan devised tactics for many days, and after actual combat testing, Nalan Xin gave a seven-word comment: "The bamboo basket is empty." ”

Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Nalan Xin didn't seem to notice the change in Tang Yuan's expression, and continued to shake his head and said, "It seems that the general still lacks actual combat experience, if he could have listened to me earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been like this." ”

Tang Yuan gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

At this time, Chen Bao said in a sullen voice: "Who said that we are bamboo baskets to draw water? In this battle, we grabbed a lot of food, enough for six hundred of us to eat for half a month. ”

"Oh, Second General, that's wrong."

Nalan Xin knew that Tang Yuan, Chen Bao, and Tang Hu were buddies who worshipped the leader, and Chen Bao was ranked second, so he called him so.

"If you listen to me, continue to wait for two days, in fact, we can fight a larger-scale ambush battle west of Yangxin." Nalan Xin pointed to the map: "Have you seen the current situation?" I conclude that Wanyan Da Trout will soon order Du Shunnan to withdraw from the Bohai Sea. Retired to Pyeongchang County, Texas, and joined the Dezhou Nalan Absolute Division. Guess what's going to happen? ”

"What else can I do if I don't listen to you?" Tang Hu glared: "We have nothing to lose, and we haven't missed anything." ”

Tang Hu's words had a hint of hindsight, and he interrupted Nalan Xin's words, as if he was venting his emotions.

"But the grass is gone." Nalan Xin reacted quickly, and spread his hands: "What do horses eat?" ”

The grass was all tied to the scarecrow by Tang Yuan, and the rations of the two hundred war horses were about to be broken. Tang Yuan was worried about this, and when he heard Nalan Xin say this, he suddenly became interested.

"Say, where is the right place for us to ambush?" Tang Yuan knocked on the table: "Hurry up and say it, if there is grass there, let's go there early, so that the war horses will not starve." ”

Nalan Xin moved a chair and sat down, shook his head, and sold the guanzi: "I've said it all, let you guess." ”

Chen Bao was anxious, "You ......"

"Wait," Seeing that Chen Bao was about to get angry, Tang Yuan immediately stopped Chen Bao and said, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now, so let's guess." ”

Tang Yuan looked at the sand table in front of him, picked up the baton, pointed to the sand table and said: "If Du Shunnan really will withdraw his troops, he has two ways to go, one is in the south of the Mache River, and the other is in the north of the Mache River, if he goes to the north, he will definitely pass by Yangxin." You also said just now that you want to fight an ambush to the west of Yangxin, doesn't that mean that he wants to take the road to the north? ”

"Not necessarily. He took the road to the south, which was also to the west of Yangxin. Nalan Xin stammered.

Tang Yuan threw away the baton, "Then I still think he will go to Hebei, because Henan is close to Dizhou, and Dizhou is no longer theirs, it is better to take Yangxin, and along the way, you can also scavenge some things and catch some strong men." ”

"That can't be." Nalan Xin said with certainty: "They will never catch strong men on the way. ”

"Why?"

"When they withdraw their troops, I think our General Tang Tang Tang Qi will definitely follow him. At this time, they must maintain their formation, and it is absolutely impossible for them to have the leisure to catch any strong men. Besides, now that there is no food in Dizhou, the people are all hungry, what is the use of them catching some hungry people? Drag down the team, and loyalty is extremely low. Useless. ”

"Oh..., that seems to make sense." Tang Yuan said: "Since you are so sure, then we might as well make a bet." ”

"Bet on what? I've told you up front, I'm a guy who never gambles with my life. ”

"I don't want your life, let's bet two taels of silver."

"That's it, you say, how to bet."

"I bet that Du Shunnan will definitely catch strong men along the road; I also bet that Tang Qi will not follow closely behind, she will only monitor from a distance; Also, when Du Shunnan started to cross the river, halfway through the river, Tang Qi would suddenly kill. ”
