After the war, Wuping Pass was in a mess. In this battle, Tuoba Yan brought over all the siege equipment, including ladders, trebuchets, crossbows, and chariots...... Xiang Qiang's soldiers fought for their lives, rushing to the city tower in waves in the rain of arrows and climbing the ladder. If it weren't for the strong gate of Wuping Pass, the city wall was tall. If it is a short city like Danyang City, it may not be able to withstand this wave of attacks at all.

Although the fighting is fierce, the situation is critical. But Wuping Pass, in the end, withstood and did not let Xiang Qiang's soldiers drive straight in. General Feng stood on the city tower, watching Tuoba Yan finally retreat, and the big stone in his heart finally landed. But he didn't care about resting, but went directly back to the big tent of the Chinese army and raised the account to discuss matters.

The generals didn't bother to freshen up, some of their hair was scattered, and some of them hurried over as soon as their wounds were bandaged. General Feng Rubing just wiped his face, sobered up, and continued to study tactics and strategies. He stared at the big map, frowned and said: "Xiang Qiang Khan is menacing, and he will not give up until he breaks the martial arts. However, the imperial army has been delayed, and we currently have 100,000 soldiers with heavy casualties, and I am afraid that we will not be able to hold it when the next enemy attack us. ”

The generals present are all experienced in a hundred battles, and there is no need for Feng Rubingming to say that they all have a scale in their hearts. Only if the imperial reinforcements arrive in time, maybe Wupingguan can still be saved. Otherwise, it can only be a broken city and death!

"I, the generals of Wupingguan, have guarded the border for many years, and have long regarded Wupingguan as their hometown, and the people here as their relatives." Feng Rubing said solemnly, "Now, Wuping Pass has been attacked, and I, as the main general, should sacrifice my life to defend the city, and swear to live and die with Wuping Pass!" ”

Hearing General Feng Rubing's generous statement, all the generals threw away their timidity and swore together: "Defend Wuping to the death, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!" ”

On the Xiangqiang grassland, the mutual teaching and learning between Yeleyi and Qin Luo is still continuing. As a result of their studies, they went from seeing each other every five days to seeing each other every day.

When teaching Ye Leyi to learn literature, Qin Luo first taught her the thirteenth chapter of "The Art of War". Now they are all in between, and this one is the most practical.

"Therefore, there are five rooms: there is a cause, there is an inner room, there is a reverse room, there is a death room, and there is a life room." Ye Leyi practiced martial arts while handing over to Qin Luo, and at the same time memorized the art of war. "The five rooms are all up, I don't know the way, it is called the god era, and the treasure of the human king. Because of the intermittent, because of the ......"

Yereyi carried it here, and suddenly got stuck.

Qin Luo smiled faintly and received, "Those who are in the middle of the world use it because of their villagers." Those who are in the middle are used because of their officials. ”

"Those who oppose it use it because of their enemies. Those who are dead, for the sake of telling the outside world, let us know it, and spread it among the enemy. Those who are alive will also be repaid. Yeleyi said proudly, "I just forgot suddenly, I don't need you to remind me." ”

"Very good, I just said that I can memorize it, which is already very good." Qin Luo looked at Ye Leyi approvingly.

"I learn everything very quickly." Ye Leyi said without humility, "My father used to teach my younger brother and me martial arts and riding archery, and I was the first to learn them. ”

"Not only do you have to learn, but you also have to learn and apply it." Qin Luo said, "If you Chishui only install a second lady in Qingyun, it will be far from enough. Presumably the second lady is very short of helpers, right? ”

"yes." Yereyi said, "I only have Saren on my side. ”

Sure enough, as Qin Luo expected, he suggested: "One person is still too little, the second lady has other female slaves, can you trust?" ”

"There was one who grew up with me, named Xinya." Yeleyi replied, "It's just that she is now in Chishui, serving my sister." ”

Qin Luo knew that although their sisters had been replaced, their personal maids could not be changed indiscriminately. Otherwise, wouldn't it tell everyone that they have a problem?

However, the female slaves who were trained from childhood to adulthood were naturally more comfortable to use. Qin Luo said: "If there is any chance, transfer her over." ”

"However, Xinya also has a mission in Chishui, after all, when I was replaced with my sister at that time, I forcibly sent her away without her consent." Speaking of this, Ye Leyi lowered her head, feeling a little guilty, "Xin Ya is over there to help me take care of my sister, and I don't know how my sister is doing now." ”

It was rare to see Ye Leyi showing a look similar to guilt and depression, and Qin Luo didn't know how to comfort him for a while. In his eyes, Yeleyi has always been a strong and resolute woman, and she will never regret any decision.

Of course, Ye Leyi did not regret it, if she was asked to choose again, she would send her sister back, sneak into Qingyun by herself, and be an intermediary.

Ye Leyi carried the art of war on his back and watched Qin Luo stab the stump with a dagger on the side. His speed was getting faster and faster, but he still lacked power. The thorn trunk did not pierce into the depths.

Ye Leyi walked up to Qin Luo and pointed at him, "Push the dagger into it." Imagine if you were facing an enemy and you couldn't kill him with a single stab, he would kill you instantly. A dagger is not a long blade, you have nowhere to hide when the time comes, and you must kill with one blow. ”

"Okay." Qin Luo nodded, he is now a beginner in martial arts, and his foundation is not good. It is impossible to train a hero in a short period of time, he can only use a dagger to sneak attack when the enemy is relaxed, which is a trick to save his life.

Qin Luo and Ye Leyi practiced martial arts here, but on the Southern Chu side, the soldiers of Wuping Pass finally waited for the so-called 100,000 reinforcements sent by the imperial court.

Due to the gathering of 50,000 troops from all over the country, military discipline was loose and the ranks were sparse. General Feng Rubing stood on the city tower, his eyes sharply scanning such a group of troops, and his heart was already cold. If you want to rely on this group of people to resist the Xiang Qiang people who are eyeing you outside the city, the chances of winning are almost none.

The adjutant general reminded in General Feng's ear: "General Feng, the emperor worships Mu Jingfeng, the second son of General Mu, as the marshal this time, but this person has not learned and has no skills since he was a child, and he is quite conceited, but it is only by relying on the reputation of General Mu that he will be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor." General, you have to be careful. ”

"I've heard a little about Mu Jingfeng." Feng Rubing said, "But under the emperor's holy decree, he is the commander of the army, you and I must not disobey the order." ”

The lieutenant general was a little indignant, but they were just young generals guarding the border passes, and there was no one in the court. Now that Southern Chu governs the military with civility, it is good that he did not send a civilian official who does not understand military affairs. I only hope that Mu Jingfeng will be able to learn one or two from General Mu when he is young.

Mu Jingfeng came to this poor and remote place, but he was actually very reluctant. However, those people in the court, as soon as they heard that there was a war here, they couldn't hold it anymore, and they all pushed back one by one. General Mu was a kind person, and he took the initiative to ask for help, but because of his advanced age, he was rejected by Mrs. Xu. Seeing that everyone was reluctant to come forward, General Mu recommended his son.

Xu Liqing touched his beard at that time and said to the emperor: "It is said that tigers will have no dogs." General Mu is full of courage and has made countless military exploits for my dynasty, presumably his son can also inherit his father and guard Wuping Pass for Dachu Town. ”

When the emperor heard Taifu say this, could he still refuse? So he made a decision on the spot and appointed Mu Jingfeng, the second son of General Mu, as the commander-in-chief, to lead an army of 100,000 and rush to Wuping Pass.

Mu Jingfeng has been clothed and fed since he was a child, where can he endure the suffering of the rapid march. After being crazy for several days, I finally arrived, and immediately slept and rested.

The big war is imminent, and Tuoba Yan can attack the city at any time, but Mu Jingfeng, as the commander-in-chief, has no sense of crisis. The generals of Wupingguan were very dissatisfied, you see General Feng, after fighting hard from the battlefield, he immediately raised his account and discussed military affairs. And this coach just wants to rest.

By the time Mu Jingfeng woke up and had eaten and drunk enough, it was already the next day.

Mu Jingfeng sat on the main seat, and the people sitting below were all the guards of Wuping Pass. Mu Jingfeng casually took a sip of tea, and said to the generals below: "Thanks to the saint for not giving up, send this marshal to Wuping Pass." The imperial court has sent 100,000 elite soldiers to support. The emperor's grace is immense, and I hope that all the generals will work together with the commander to repel the enemy soldiers. ”

"The saint is wise, and the last general is at the disposal of Mu Shuai." Feng Rubing echoed.

"General Feng, how is the situation of the enemy troops under the city?" Mu Jingfeng talked for a long time, and finally remembered that he was here to fight.

Feng Rubing said: "Now, Xiang Qiang has been in the city for more than a month, and at the beginning, the main will be Xiang Qiang's Kutulu. Not long ago, Xiang Qiang Khan Tuoba Yan, personally led his tribe to attack Wuping Pass. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Mu Jingfeng was so frightened that he choked on a sip of tea when he heard that Tuoba Yan was coming in person, and he said angrily, "You, you...... Tuoba Yan's personal expedition, why don't you report to the imperial court. ”

"We didn't know that before." Feng Rubing told the truth, "A few days ago, I had sent the military intelligence to Pingcheng in an expedited 800 miles. ”

Mu Jingfeng felt that he had been cheated and completely deceived. He didn't expect that he would directly face Xiang Qiang's khan. I heard that Xiang Qiang Khan is a fierce and vicious demon, and he kills people without blinking. He also heard that not long ago, this Tuoba Yan had just wiped out the Black Rock Tribe, killing countless Black Rock Clansmen.

As soon as he thought of such a fierce and vicious person, now under the gate of Wuping, Mu Jingfeng was cowardly before he fought. He didn't have any actual combat experience at all, and his son Mu Houye's original intention was to let him practice, but he didn't expect that the first opponent to practice knives was too strong.

Mu Jingfeng thought to himself, where did he come to practice, he was clearly here to die.

At this time, the imperial court finally received an eight-hundred-mile expedited from Wuping Pass. In the court, when Mrs. Xu finished reading this military report in front of hundreds of officials, General Mu's face turned pale, and the other ministers were also trembling in two ways, trembling all over.

Emperor Zhao Ruize suddenly lost his master, and anxiously asked Xu Liqing: "Taifu Xu, Xiang Qiang Khan is personally recruited, how should this be good?" ”

"Holy Lord, don't worry." The old god Xu Liqing touched his beard and comforted the emperor, "Wuping Pass is guarded by the second son of General Mu, and there are so many generals, it must not be so easy to break." ”

Zhao Ruize was slightly relieved, while others didn't know how many catties Mu Jingfeng had, but General Mu still knew his son very well. He hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Mrs. Xu, the first time the dog and the dog have gone to the battlefield, the old minister is afraid that he will not be able to take on this heavy responsibility." ”

Xu Liqing said: "Old General Mu rest assured, there are still General Feng and other generals in Wupingguan. They have been guarding the border for a long time and have rich experience. How to deal with Xiang Qiang is even more familiar. ”

Over the years, it has been Mrs. Xu who has taught the emperor and presided over the government. In Nanchu, Xu Liqing is the authority, and no one will question what he says. Seeing Xu Liqing's confident appearance, the hundred officials also eliminated the panic in their hearts, maybe Wuping's generals could really repel Xiang Qiang and defend the border.
