It's hot, it's humid, and even the cicadas are so wilting that you can barely hear a few sounds.

The avenue on the southeast border of Jingzhou is muddy, and the mud splashes where it lands.

The 100,000 troops of the Cangwu Kingdom were passing through this last section of the territory on the edge of the border, and the queue was so long that they could not see the end of the line. Early tomorrow morning, the army will cross the Hanjiang River and enter Binzhou in the country of Bihai.

Mu Yunzuo sat on his horse staggeringly, watching that the sky was getting dark, he stretched out his hand, and the snake-like army immediately stopped one after another.

"Where is this?"

"Back to Taishi, this is Wuai County in the southeast of Jingzhou Prefecture, and thirty miles to the east, it is the Hanjiang Ferry."

Wu Ai, no hindrance, is an auspicious place name.

Mu Yunzuo thought for a while and said: "Pass my order, go ten miles further, set up camp on the road, and cross the river early tomorrow morning." Where is the Songyang battalion of the Vanguard Army now? ”

"Back to the Taishi, Commander Han arrived at the Hanjiang Ferry two days ago, and set up camp next to the ferry, just waiting for the Taishi's order."

"Hmm...... Tell him to come to the camp tonight. ”

"Yes!"

This Han Fu must always keep an eye on it, since his father and brother were always secretly on guard, and now he can't slack off.

In fact, in the early years, he proposed a merger strategy, that is, to split the Songyang battalion and transfer it to the front line of the border, which is gradually fading. In the course of time, this problem could be removed, but my father never adopted it.

Whether it is his father or his brother, they all feel that the Han family army is the main force of the Songyang battalion, even if it is split, it can only dismantle some side battalions, and it cannot be dismantled The foundation cannot be dismantled.

The elder brother was even more worried that if the Han clan was sent to the border, he would be unable to reach the whip, and he would have different intentions along with the surrounding small states.

Now it's a good thing, taking advantage of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, the Han family volunteered to be a pioneer again, and even the Shenji Battalion followed out of the imperial capital. Take advantage of this opportunity to justifiably let him take the lead.

Since ancient times, the siege of the city, has always lost troops and generals, Taiye City is a famous city in the world that is difficult to attack, originally with the wisdom of my Muyun clan, it is not difficult to surprise attack, but this time I ordered Han Fu to set up a military order to attack Taiye, and he wants to reduce the damage, without losing five or six points, and he will not want to take it.

Attack the liquid and frustrate Songyang, killing two birds with one stone.

Mu Yunzuo looked at the seven-star sword hanging next to the tent, and said secretly in his heart: Father, don't worry, even if I don't have my brother, I will take the Taiye City in my pocket and live up to my father's trust.

While thinking about it, a report came from outside the tent: "The commander of the Songyang camp Han asks to see him." ”

As soon as the words fell, a general stepped into the tent in all directions, it was Han Fu.

"Meet the Master."

"Commander Han, please take a seat."

Both of them had the same faint looks.

In terms of years and months, decades have passed since the days of being ministers in the same dynasty, and each other has been from the year of the heroic weak crown, watching each other's sideburns turn white, until half a hundred. However, when it comes to friendship, there are constant evils, and the number of times Han Fu has been scolded by Mu Yunzuo is only not much less than that of Pei Ran, the head of the household.

However, Han Fu has one ability, that is, he is neither arrogant nor humble.

If you scold me, I will bear it, if I have something to say, I will leave after speaking, I will never be scolded like Pei Ran and laugh and say that it is good to scold. My Han family is also a family, although my power is not as good as you, I will not allow you to be humiliated.

Because of this, every time Mu Yunzuo scolded Han Fu, he put more thought into it than scolding Pei Ran. Han Fu is not a sycophant, he has to be scolded to the point, if he scolds a few points off, he will be bitten back.

So over time, Mu Yunzuo was still willing to give Han Fu the politeness on the table.

"When did Commander Han arrive at the ferry?"

"Two days ago."

"Why march at night?"

"The last general observed the sky and had a moon halo, afraid that the road would not be easy to walk after the rain, so he hurried into the night, although the night march was hard, but the remaining two days were enough to rest."

"Hmm."

One question and one answer, impeccable.

"Garrison the ferry for two days, what's unusual?"

"Nope."

Han Fu replied briefly, without saying a word.

"Tomorrow's army will cross the river, can it be arranged with the blue sea?"

"Everything has been arranged, Bihai has docked the two hundred turtle head ships and twenty tiger head ships carrying sergeants and baggage across the river at Jingzhou Ferry. There was also a phoenix ship for the Taishi to ride, and before he came to the camp, he saw that it had also docked to the shore. ”

"Hmm...... ...... the grain and grass? ”

"Zhu Zhiling from the blue sea sent a military order, and from the day he entered Binzhou, the prefectures and counties along the way had prepared grain and grass for the Taishi to use at any time."

Mu Yunzuo snorted coldly, this girl from the blue sea is really shrewd. It sounds good to supply and take along the way, but in fact, it is not willing to give even more food, which is practical. If this goes to Taiye City, I am afraid that the food will be insufficient.

"Pass the order to go down, bring enough grain and grass for three months, only use it as a reserve and do not take it, and only use the grain of the blue sea along the way."

"Yes."

There are six granaries outside Taiye City, even if the time comes to turn around and attack the city, Zhu Zhiling will not have time to return to the city to defend the granary, these granaries should be more than enough to supply our army, plus three months of grain, then there is no worries.

Mu Yunzuo looked at Han Fu, who was expressionless, and secretly thought that although this person was as smelly and hard as the stones of the latrine, he was still a general when it came to marching and fighting.

"This time to send troops, you are the vanguard, I know that the Songyang battalion has never been out of the imperial capital, but since it is out, let everyone in the world understand the power of your Han family's army, this is not only to serve the saint, but also for the prestige of the old lord Han."

Mu Yunzuo deliberately bit the word "lord" harder, and Han Fu felt a pain in his heart when he heard it, and the hand on his lap almost pulled off a piece of the scales on the armor.

"The last general understands that since he should fight bravely to kill the enemy and live up to His Majesty, I don't know what else the Taishi will show?"

"It's nothing, you go back to the ferry." Mu Yunzuo waved his hand in satisfaction.

Han Fu bowed his head and walked out of the camp by himself, not angry in his heart.

He subconsciously touched the bag in his breast pocket.

It was secretly given to him by Emperor Wen a few days before his departure, and he was instructed to open it again when he reached the edge of the Hanjiang River. At that time, he couldn't rest assured, so he asked Ye Zhiqiu to take a look for him, and said not to open it.

What did Emperor Wen want? Although he knew that Emperor Wen had the intention of getting rid of Mu Yunzuo, he didn't know what to do, so he was anxious and impatient, and ordered the vanguard army to rush to Hanjiang day and night.

When we arrived at Hanjiang, it was midnight, and people were sleepy and tired. He didn't even wait for the camp to rise, so he took out his bag to look at it, only to see that there were only four words written on the silk book inside:

"Wait for the pigeon harrier."

This Lee Hou Cong! Sure enough, it's a good plan!

Han Fu knew that there was a pigeon harrier outpost at the mouth of the river, which was specially used to convey news from the border.

Emperor Wen also knew that Han Fuhui would arrive a few days before Mu Yunzuo, so he must have deliberately picked a date, and he would never leak a little news until the last moment.

Emperor Wen can't trust anyone, he only believes in himself.

And the pigeon harrier.

But tomorrow is about to cross the river, and there is still no news, what is the best thing to do?

Han Fu got on the horse restlessly, rode his horse for a while, and a soldier came to him, which was the uniform of the Songyang battalion.

"There's an urgent order to report."

"What?"

The soldier stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Han Fu was in good spirits.

The Harrier has arrived!

He took a long, finger-thin cylinder from which the soldier had handed him, pulled out a note, and looked at it by the moonlight.

I saw that the expression on his face gradually became solemn, but he couldn't hide a little joy.

Good plan! Good plan! What a poisonous trick!

After Han Fu left, Mu Yunzuo felt a little tired, and originally sat in front of the desk with a military book in his hand and watched, but then simply leaned back on the recliner to read.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and blew out the candle flame on the side.

He called out in a loud voice: "The candle is out, come on, light it." ”

Immediately a man came in from outside the tent.

Mu Yunzuo leaned there and waited for a while, but there was still no light, and he became a little impatient, and raised his eyes to see why the entourage hadn't lit yet, but saw that the man had his back to him, just standing quietly in front of the desk and not moving.

Why is that figure still so familiar?

When he rubbed his eyes, the man slowly turned around, and Mu Yunzuo was suddenly so shocked that he could barely move.

“…… Brother? How are you? ”

Mu Yunyou smiled.

"Brother, so you're still there!" Mu Yunzuo was overjoyed and immediately stood up and took a step forward, but Mu Yunyou also took a step back.

"Why is my brother avoiding me?"

Mu Yunyou still smiled.

"Brother, do you have something to say to me?"

Nodding.

"Then the younger brother listened to him."

With that, Mu Yunzuo turned to the round stool next to the desk and sat down.

Mu Yunyou sat down on the main seat in front of the case.

For decades, it has become a habit for the two to sit and discuss various military affairs in this way.

"Brother, this time the army entered the blue sea, although I am confident, but my brother is not there, and I am always worried. I wonder what my brother thinks about the siege strategy? ”

Mu Yunyou shook his head.

"No, no."

Mu Yunzuo was stunned, what does it have to be? Is there no need to worry? Or does it not have to besiege the city?

"Please also ask my brother to make it clear."

"You are already the commander of an army, whether you are a brother or not, it is the same."

"Brother, from the past to the present, but there are troops, you have always been the commander, I am the deputy commander, and you and I are the two of you and I deduce each other. Now that I am alone, how can I be compared to our brothers when they are in caliber? ”

Mu Yunyou still shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's the same."

Mu Yunzuo lowered his head and thought, since my brother came to have something to say to me, it is better to listen to him first, and then ask it is not too late.

"The younger brother listens to the elder brother first."

"Brother Xian, do you remember the clan motto of my Muyun clan?"

'How dare you forget this?' Those who are good at traveling drown, and those who are good at riding falling; If you have a long profit, you will lose, and you will be happy and sad. ’”

"Yes, my Muyun clan is the best in the world, and everyone knows it. But if you mistake your wisdom and kill with a strategy, you will be counterattacked. ”

"My brother's words are not very understandable."

"My father's legacy may be a brilliant plan, but it may not hurt me."

"Brother knows about my father's secret plan?"

Mu Yunyou smiled, noncommittal.
