Chapter 39: Surprise

Jin Zhiwen saw that there was no way out, so he took out Changchuang Bai Kiss and died.

Mao Lingfeng looked at Jin Zhiwen rather die than surrender, and also shook his head and sighed, this person is loyal, if it weren't for Yelang Guojun listening to the slander and using swords in vain, he could also keep Yelang's side safe, how could he end up like this, so he ordered someone to bury him in the main peak of Liupan Mountain, so that he could return to his hometown and look at his homeland from afar.

Mao Lingfeng, the county guard, watched the thunder outside, the wind and rain intersected, pacing back and forth in the house. If the rainy season arrives, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and it is difficult to use troops, it is better to rest in Yuewang County and wait for the autumn to make a final decision. So he ordered all the departments to strictly inspect and reorganize their armaments, and wait for the autumn to send troops.

Mencius, the king of Nanyi, lost three states and one county, smashed the teacup angrily, stared at Sun Wenyang with a blue face, and said: It's all your prince's good idea, what do you say Take advantage of the battle between Mao Lingfeng and Xiyi, send troops to the court, but you can hide the victory, now it's good, it's cheap, but I lost three states and one county in vain. And that Yelang Xiaoguo is too useless, and before it has done anything, it was destroyed by others. What should I do next?

Sun Wenyang raised his eyebrows and said: "The king doesn't have to be anxious, the prince has already arranged it, just wait for the right time." It will be fatal with one blow, as long as the slut dies, everything will be secured. ”

Meng Zitong said disdainfully: "Just those two women can make Chang Wu turn against each other and attack Mao Lingfeng." ”

Sun Wenyang disappreciated: "Don't underestimate those two women, they are Chang Wu's closest relatives, Chang Wu's father died in battle when he was young, and he grew up with his mother, and he is filial to his mother. If he had known that his mother and his only sister were in my hands, I am afraid that he would have to obey the orders of the prince. However, this matter can't be spread, and wait until the last moment to give Mao Lingfeng the final blow. ”

Mao Lingfeng knew nothing about the intrigues of King Nanyi and Sun Wenyang, and she took advantage of the truce and rectification to order Chang Wu to be stationed in Yuewang County, Zheng Jie to guard in Ningzhou Mansion, and Tian Yuan and Li Chengyong to garrison Jiaozhou and Luoping Prefecture respectively. And explain some defensive matters.

With the two brothers Zhiqin and Dark Three, they rode out of Yuewang County, galloped all the way to the surrounding areas of Jianning County, drilled into the depths of the forest, passed through Yongchang County, and marched to the mountainous areas around Yunnan County. If you fight in the mountains and forests, you will be ambushed and annihilated by the enemy if you don't notice it.

Mao Lingfeng trekked all the way through the mountains and rivers, looked at the topography and landforms of several county passes in Nanyi, and sometimes met some woodcutters and hunters, and carefully consulted them about the direction of weather and water flow. In this way, the four of them walked around in the deep mountains and old forests for four months. When the four of them returned to Yuewang County.

Zhishu and Zhihua looked at the four like savages who appeared in front of them, and couldn't help but be taken aback, startled, although the young lady used to go out and come back every time she was embarrassed, but it was not like today's tattered clothes, messy hair, if it weren't for the extraordinary momentum, like a mountain village girl.

Zhishu and Zhihua flew to prepare a hot water meal. Gao Yufei hurried out of the study and saw a young woman with a haggard face, messy hair, and broken clothes. Sitting in the main hall, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

At this time, Zhiqi and Chang Wu also received a report, and hurried from the barracks, and were also shocked to see the four of them looking embarrassed. hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Mao Lingfeng waved his hand, leaned back in his chair, and after asking about this important matter, he motioned for them to step back first. Gao Yufei and Chang Wu saluted and retired.

Mao Lingfeng entered the bedroom, soaked comfortably in the hot water, relaxed, and fell asleep unconsciously. When Zhishu and Zhihua came in with their clothes and meals, they saw the young lady leaning her head on the edge of the bathtub and falling asleep. couldn't help but shush at each other, glanced at each other, put down their clothes and meals, and called the three of Zhiqi to carry Mao Lingfeng out of the bathtub lightly.

Mao Lingfeng's eyes opened slightly, glanced at the three of them, and let the three of them fiddle, the three of them put her on the bed, wiped it clean, dried her hair, and covered her with a thin quilt. Mao Lingfeng rolled over and fell asleep on his side.

Zhishu lit incense, put down the bed curtain, closed the door, and the three of them quietly withdrew.

Gao Yufei walked over slowly and asked softly, "Is the general asleep?" The three of them nodded yes, and Gao Yufei glanced at the closed door. Pacing to the study, sorting out the topographical map and marching route map that Mao Lingfeng brought back.

Mao Lingfeng slept until the early morning of the next day before waking up, to be precise, she was woken up by hunger, touching her hungry stomach, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, lit a candle, picked up the cup, drank a large glass of water, and felt even more hungry, and there was a pain in her stomach, she couldn't help screaming.

Zhishu, Zhihua, Zhiqin, and Zhiqi heard the sound outside, and hurriedly got out of bed, seeing that she was covered with sweat, her face was pale, she was holding her stomach, and she was sitting on a chair with a curled body. The four of them were frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what's wrong, why does it hurt so much." ”

Mao Lingfeng covered his stomach and said calmly: "I'm hungry, go get some food, my stomach hurts badly, and it's okay to eat something." It's okay. Zhishu and Zhihua rushed to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles tightly.

After Mao Lingfeng finished eating a bowl of noodles, the pain in his stomach gradually disappeared. His face also returned to his rosiness. Just about to get up, he was forcibly pressed on the bed by four maids. forced her to continue to rest, Mao Lingfeng felt funny, but she couldn't resist them, so she had to lie on the bed and close her eyes to rest, but unexpectedly, after a while, she fell asleep again.

When I woke up for the second time, it was already bright and the sun was three poles. Zhishu and Zhihua had already prepared a hot water meal. Mao Lingfeng finished washing up and had breakfast, and when she came to the main hall, Chang Wu and Gao Yufei and other soldiers at all levels had already been waiting in the hall for a long time. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Mao Lingfeng motioned for the generals to sit down, walked to the main hall and sat down, glanced at the generals and said: "Generals, now that the Qiqiao Festival has passed, and the rainy season is about to pass, everyone will go back to the camp to rectify military affairs and prepare for war. Then he commanded the generals to disperse. He also ordered Zheng Jie, Tian Yuan and Li Chengyong to go to Yuewang County to discuss the military situation. The three of them were ordered to lead their troops and horses to Yuewang County.

After Mao Lingfeng rested for a few days, Tian Yuan, Zheng Jie, and Li Chengyong each led their headquarters to Yuewang County, ordered the soldiers to camp outside the city, and the three of them entered the city and came to the county guard's mansion.

Mao Lingfeng was playing chess in the back garden, Zhishu led the three of them to the back garden, and the three of them stepped forward to salute, Mao Lingfeng waved his hand. The three of them stood aside and looked at the chessboard together, Tian Yuan and Li Chengyong were secretly frightened, Zheng Jie was secretly surprised, the general's chess path was secret, unexpected, Gao Yufei was able to take every step of the way, strictly guarded, and it was itchy to watch, and he couldn't help but say a few words to Gao Yufei, Mao Lingfeng glanced up at him, and did not say anything to stop it. And gradually gain the upper hand.

Mao Lingfeng stared at the chessboard, brooding on his cheeks, silent, and did not fall for a long time. Suddenly, she smiled, and the place that she had not figured out for many days suddenly became clear, and she threw away the chess pieces and admitted defeat. The four of them shushed each other, somehow. Get up in unison.

Mao Lingfeng led the generals back to the main hall and instructed the chess general Chang Wu to invite him. Order Zhishu Zhihua to guard the door, and no one is allowed to enter. Several people discussed and decided, and Mao Lingfeng left everyone for dinner and left.

The next day, Zhiqi and Dark San led the army to Jianning County with masks.

Mao Lingfeng took the elite of the Feifeng Battalion and the Flying Tiger Battalion and the Dark Four Zhiqin to hide in the deep mountains and dense forests to an inconspicuous small county town at the same time, but it was a choke point, and the soldiers must earn Shicheng, as long as Shicheng was taken, it would block the way for the Nanyi army to return to the capital Yunnan County.

Mao Lingfeng and his entourage sneaked from the depths of the forest to the mountains and forests around Shicheng, Mao Ling stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Shicheng, the terrain was dangerous, surrounded by mountains, and the city walls were strong. However, Mao Lingfeng had long been familiar with the terrain around the city.

Ordered the army to rest, walked towards a cliff, came to the edge of the cliff, looked at the bottomless cliff below, and couldn't help swallowing the water, although he had been here last time, he was also cautious about inspecting, but now he wanted to go down in person, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

Mao Lingfeng pulled the rope and ordered Dark Si and Zhiqin Zhishu Zhihua to guard the rope and not leave. Taking the lead, he took the lead in tying the rope around his waist and slowly slid down, and the dark four slowly put the rope down. About a quarter of an hour later, Mao Lingfeng reached the bottom of the valley, untied the city rope, and shook it a few times. The dark four were overjoyed, and ordered the native soldiers to tie the prepared rope to their waists and hang down. After half a day, the Flying Phoenix Camp and the Flying Tiger Camp had all reached the bottom of the cliff.

Mao Ling touched a handful of sweat and finally let out a sigh. Dark four put away the rope. The army took advantage of the moonlight to move forward quietly, and saw a white water surface in front of him, Mao Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly, there is really water, Mao Lingfeng led the army to touch the shore with waist-deep water. About half an hour later, the army came ashore one after another. Mao Lingfeng stood on the shore wet, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the old farmer was right, if the flood rose in the rainy season, I am afraid that the whole army would have to be drowned. So the army went straight to the county government and the garrison mansion, and the county order and garrison were tied up by Mao Lingfeng in their sleep? Easily occupied the garrison and the county office. And led people to rush into the barracks, the Nanyi soldiers were cut off in their sleep, the soldiers of the Feifeng Battalion and the Flying Tiger Battalion were like tigers into the flock of sheep and slashed, and the Nanyi soldiers scattered and fled in the firelight.

The next morning, the common people woke up and found that the Feifeng banner was flying in the city, and the soldiers of the Jin State had taken over the defense of the county. The common people couldn't help but applaud their hands in amazement, and there were many discussions, praising the general's soldiers like gods. They poured into the streets to tell each other. When the people rejoiced.

Mao Lingfeng was very busy. Settle the people, deal with the demotion of troops, and rearrange defense. Since Gao Yufei is not around, all the documents and texts must be seen in person.
