In the sixteenth year of Taiyin of the Celestial Dynasty, Zhao Xuan, the third son of Emperor Zhao Yun, was ordered to be the main general of Jingzhou, who regained the lost land, and led the 300,000 troops of the Celestial Empire to Yuzhou, the border of the Celestial Empire, after worshipping his ancestors from the Taizu Temple on April 27.

When the army set off, Emperor Zhao Yun sent off the civil and military officials of the Celestial Empire, and the people in the capital of the Celestial Empire raised their eyes to see off Zhao Xuan.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground and bidding farewell to him, stepped closer, helped Zhao Xuan up, and said: "I know very well that you will not live up to my hard work, and you will definitely win and return triumphantly!"

Zhao Xuan stood up under Zhao Yun's false support, and after hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhao Xuan raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yun, but found that this father, who had never been interested in him, was so serious to him today, and the expectations of him in his eyes were so high.

For a while, Zhao Xuan, who was not very adaptable, didn't know what to do, so he could only reply heartily: "The son will definitely live up to the expectations of his father and the people of the Celestial Empire."

Zhao Yun, who heard Zhao Xuan's words, nodded and said, "Go ahead!" I am waiting for your triumphant return, and I will once again lead the civil and military officials to meet you at the city gate. ”

Zhao Xuan finished saluting Zhao Yun, and then followed the 300,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty to drink the practice wine prepared by Zhao Yun for them, then held high the battle flag of the Heavenly Empire, and withdrew his horse and marched in the direction of Yuzhou.

Border Jingzhou.

In the commander's tent, Bas looked at the man standing in front of him dressed in black and covered his face, and said, "What do you have to prove that you are a person sent by the Taishi?"

Hearing this, the secret guard took out the token that Master Yang had given him before he set off from his chest and handed it to Bass.

Buzz had already believed the Darkguard when he saw the half-piece token that the Darkguard had taken out. Then Bas asked, "What is the important matter for the Grand Master to let you come in person this time?"

When Bass's words fell, the secret guard took out the letter given to him by Master Yang, handed it to Bass, and said, "What the master said is all in this letter."

Buzz nodded, took the letter from the secret guard, examined it carefully, and found that the method of sealing the letter he had discussed with the Taishi did not show any traces of opening, and then opened the letter and looked at what the Taishi had written on his letter:

"Zhao Yun didn't listen to my words to deal with Mu Kun Jiuhuang and the others, but instead sent his third son Zhao Xuan as the main general with an army of 300,000 towards Yuzhou. What he meant by this. I'm afraid that we intend to appoint the third prince Zhao Xuan as the prince, and our plans have changed. You have to make all the preparations, take the city of Yuzhou as soon as possible, and at the same time put Zhao Xuan in Yuzhou. ”

From the envelope of the Taishi, Bas learned that the Celestial Empire had sent reinforcements to support Yuzhou.

And the main general Zhao Xuan, Buzz has never seen it, and there is no information about Zhao Xuan or his name in his heart.

Buas glanced at the secret guard standing beside him, and then spoke: "You go back and tell the Taishi, I already know about this matter, and I will definitely prepare in advance, so that the Taishi is also ready, ready to meet at any time."

When the guard heard Bus's words, he bowed to Buzz and withdrew.

At this time, the news that Zhao Xuan was appointed as the commander of the army and led an army of 300,000 towards Yuzhou had also spread to the army of the Celestial Empire stationed in Yuzhou.

After preparing enough grain and grass for a month, Mu Kun ordered to stop collecting grain and grass from the people.

"Why did the emperor send the three princes as the commanders of the army?"

At the meeting, after hearing the news that Zhao Xuan was coming with the army, Yumu asked.

In his opinion, although the third prince is a prince, he is unknown in the Celestial Empire, and he has never been on the battlefield, so he doesn't understand why Emperor Zhao Xuan sent the three princes as the main general of the army, and marching to fight is not child's play?

When Mu Kun heard Yumu's words, his eyes darkened, and he shouted coldly: "Presumptuous, isn't the matter of the Lord something you can discuss?" Or are you questioning the emperor's decision? ”

Although Mu Kun had the same doubts as Yumu in his heart, the emperor would actually send a prince who had never been on the battlefield to come as the main general.

He didn't believe that the emperor would be such an indiscriminate person, he believed that since the emperor sent the three princes as the main generals of the army, he must have his reasons. No one ever said that a general on the battlefield had to be someone who had experienced a great war.

Yu Mu was frightened by Mu Kun's words, he was just a small general, how could he dare to question the emperor's words? If these words reached the ears of Emperor Zhao Yun and questioned the Son of Heaven, he would destroy the Nine Clans.

Yu Mu Xin was frightened into a cold sweat, and after Mu Kun's words, Yu Mu lowered his head and closed his mouth.

Mu Kun glanced at the elm, and then spoke: "The emperor sent the three princes to come to support with a large army, and the people of Batu will definitely know about this matter, and now we have to hold the city gate more to defend Yuzhou, and start a battle with Batu after the arrival of the army."

A hint of disapproval flashed on Nan Ming's face, Mu Kun glanced at the generals, his eyes stayed on Nan Ming's body, and Nan Ming's expression was in his eyes, Mu Kun opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Nan, what do you think is wrong?"

Since Mu Kun's words fell, all the generals looked at Nan Ming with doubts in their hearts.

Putting everyone's performance into his eyes, Nan Ming opened his mouth to express his concerns, and said: "I'm afraid that after Batu learns that our army reinforcements are coming, Batu will spare no effort to let the army attack Yuzhou while sending the Batu army to block and delay the arrival of reinforcements."

Hearing Nan Ming's words, all the generals present, including Mu Kun, also began to think about this matter. ”

At this time, because of the continuous war, Yuzhou City had already entered a state of strict preparation. All merchants and people who entered and exited Yuzhou had to be interrogated at the city gate.

A man dressed in silk was about to enter Yuzhou City, but was stopped and interrogated by the soldiers at the city gate, "Who are you?" Where do you live? What's your last name? Is there a pass to enter the city? ”

Xiao Si was stunned by a wave of crackling questions from the soldiers, and after relieving himself, he then spoke: "I'm here to find the Lord of Jiuhuang!"

"Looking for the Nine Phoenix County Lord?" When the soldier heard this, he looked Xiao Si up and down with a suspicious expression.

"Are you really looking for the county lord? You can report your surname, and I will go and tell the county lord!" ”

Hearing the soldier's words, Xiao Si didn't say his name, but said to the soldier: "I'm really here to find the county lord of Jiuhuang, if the little brother doesn't believe it, you can go to the county lord to confirm!"

Looking at Xiao Si's seriousness but refusing to say his name, the soldier was a little embarrassed. Glancing at Xiao Si, who was dressed well, the soldier glanced at another soldier beside him and asked, "Do you really know the Lord of Jiuhuang?"

Xiao Si nodded and said, "I really know the Lord of Jiuhuang, and I hope that the little brother will be accommodating and let me go into the city."

After hearing Xiao Si's words, the soldier did not speak immediately, but lowered his head and thought about it seriously, and then seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Xiao Si: "You wait here first, let me go and report to the county lord and get confirmed, if you really know the county lord, I will let you into the city."

When Xiao Si heard this, he also knew that Yuzhou City was now on alert. Thinking that he had now arrived at the gate of Yuzhou, he was not in a hurry to see Jiuhuang explain his son's instructions, and then Xiao Si said: "Then Brother Lao will go and report."

After exchanging glances with another soldier, the soldier then headed towards the general's mansion in the city.

In the mansion, when discussing how to solve the concerns that Nan Ming had previously stated, he heard a soldier's voice sounding from outside the door, saying: "General, the soldiers guarding the city outside the mansion reported that there was a person outside the city gate at this time who said that he was looking for the lord of Jiuhuang County."

Hearing the soldier's report, Mu Kun looked at Jiuhuang, as if asking what was going on.

Receiving the question in Mu Kun's sight, Jiuhuang himself was also very puzzled after hearing the soldier's words.

She asked herself if she didn't know anyone in Yuzhou, who would come to her? Jiuhuang was puzzled in his heart, and then asked the soldiers outside the door, "Did anyone say who he was?"

The soldier spoke: "According to the report of the soldiers guarding the city, the person who came did not report his name, but only named him to find the county lord."

If you don't report your name, you still have to name and say that you want to find yourself? It was only a moment's effort, Jiuhuang had already filtered it a few times in his heart, and then said to Mu Kun: "You guys discuss first, I'll go to the city gate to see what the situation is!"

Mu Kun saw Jiuhuang say this, this is also a good way. He nodded at Jiuhuang and said, "Bring some soldiers with you!"

Although Mu Kun agreed with Jiuhuang's words, he was also worried that the person looking for Jiuhuang at the city gate was an undercover enemy agent.

Jiuhuang didn't care about Mu Kun's words, but said, "You discuss first, and I'll come when I go."

After saying that, he got up and left the room, and followed the soldiers from outside the palace to the city gate.

Xiao Si has been hesitating at the gate of the city, and his leisurely appearance makes the soldiers guarding the city can't help but look sideways. I know, does this person really know the county lord and came to find the county lord?

Jiuhuang followed the soldiers towards the city gate, and before they reached the city gate, Jiuhuang looked at this late night at ten o'clock, and a figure was wandering at the city gate.

Looking at that figure, Jiuhuang suddenly felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

When the Nine Phoenix people arrived at the city gate, Xiao Si, who was outside the city gate, also heard a horse roar at the city gate behind him, and then turned his head!

Jiuhuang was puzzled by the back in front of her, which made her feel very familiar, but saw the back turn around.

After seeing the figure's face clearly, Jiuhuang's heart couldn't help but be shocked. She said who would come to the city gate to find her by name, but it turned out that this person was Xiao Si beside Qin Jue.

After dismounting from Jiuhuang, Xiao Si wanted to come to the front of Jiuhuang, but was stopped by the gatekeeper with a spear in his hand, Xiao Si had to clench his fists and say to Jiuhuang: "County Lord!"

Jiuhuang said to the soldiers who stopped Xiao Si: "Let him come in!"

Hearing Jiuhuang's words, after receiving Jiuhuang's order, the soldiers withdrew the spear in their hands that stopped Xiao Si and let him enter the city gate.
