However, just three days after departure, the news of the appearance of human tracks eighty miles southwest of Langfeng was sent to the Shentong camp.

"Respect the Heavenly King, Lang Fengcheng found the traces of the Xian Army eighty miles southwest, and General Qin quickly asked the Heavenly King to decide."

The person who came said quickly, and the divine power hurriedly spread out the topographic map of the mountains and rivers to find the location of Lang Feng, and asked the person who came:

"Are you sure it's the Xianjun, not the Liukou?"

"Sure, it's indeed the Xian army, there seem to be a lot of them, and they're still looking for a way."

"How many of them are there?"

"More than twenty people, all of them are ironclad infantry soldiers."

"Only about twenty people?" Shentong was suspicious, thought for a moment and asked: "Is there a transfer of the Xian army outside the pass, but is the cavalry still there?" ”

"Respect the Heavenly King, the Xian army has not decreased, and the cavalry is still outside the pass."

As soon as the voice of the comer fell, Song He scolded:

"Langfeng is more than 400 miles away from the periphery of the Xiaguan Plain, the middle of the mountains and mountains are inaccessible, Qin and E also said that the Xian army has no possibility to enter the mountain, and now they have reached Langfeng, according to this, it will not take three days to appear behind the Juxia Pass, and the cavalry of the Xian army will enter the pass, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Heavenly King, you must be on guard. ”

"Then you don't think it's weird?"

The supernatural power asked rhetorically, why didn't Song understand:

"The last general is stupid, and I ask the king of heaven to make it clear."

"It's only been ten days since our army fled into Guanzhong, and from the point of view of Langfeng's location, it is located in the northeast of Xiaguan County. The Xian army transferred 20,000 people south from outside the Juxia Pass and rushed to the northeast of Shangguan County, saying that it would take six days, and the Xian army could complete more than 300 miles of mountain roads in the remaining four days and appear 80 miles southwest of Langfeng? ”

"What does the king mean?"

"Maybe it's just a suspicious soldier of the Xian army, don't forget, the Xian army has a strange ball, which can fly hundreds of zhang or even thousands of zhang high, and it is not difficult to transport dozens or hundreds of people into the mountain city, and they can travel day and night, and the stronger the wind, the faster they fly.

Now there are only about 20 people, most of whom have entered the mountains in a strange ball. There is no need to pay attention to it, tomorrow when the sky is bright, continue to urge the army to hurry, and be sure to arrive in Dongping to join Shen Duchi within five days. ”

Shentong ignored it, and suspected that Qin E had fabricated the news by lying about the military situation, in order to hold back the army and resist the offensive of the Xian army at Juxia Pass. On the second day, Shentong continued to hurry, and arrived in Dongping five days later to meet Shen Duchi:

"General Shen, is there any news about Zhao Xun's main force?"

"Qiqi Heavenly King, according to the Malay report, there is no trace of Zhao Xun's main force within a radius of six hundred miles."

The supernatural powers were taken aback when they heard the news:

"Shhh...... No, the Xianjun sent the news to Jian BMW, it should be delivered within five or six days, Zhao Xun is not far from Peng Yuan, no matter what, he should send troops to lead the troops south to reinforce within three days, and now that the fifteenth has passed, how can there be no trace. How many horses have you sent, and can you go east? ”

"The last general sent thirty people, released six hundred miles to the north and east, stared at it for four days, and there was no trace, and he almost released scouts to the south, thinking that Zhao Xun would never come from the south."

"Is there any abnormality in Pengyuan?" The supernatural power asked.

"All localities have stepped up preparations for war, and the villagers in all villages have retreated into the county town and held out. If we can't take advantage of Zhao Xun's southward movement to give a head-on attack, our army will have to venture through Pengyuan to the north, so that there will be a threat of attack at any time. ”

While Shen Duchi was speaking, Song He hurriedly climbed to the head of the city and said in a panic:

"The king of heaven is not good, Qin E just came to the news, the Xianjun army defeated Jin County three days ago, and now it is rushing towards Langfeng, maybe Langfeng has lost at this time."

"What!" Shentong was shocked, and his face suddenly turned blue: "Jin County is located between the mountains, how did you lose it!" ”

"Jin County is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is not clear how it was lost, but according to the people who fled back to Langfeng, there were two or three thousand Xian troops who attacked Jin County, and it was possible that there were more than two or three thousand."

"It can't be!" The supernatural power denied: "Dozens of people are reasonable, how can thousands of people enter the mountains." Wanchuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the troops have been transferred to Juxia and Dongping, Jinxian is located in a remote area, the army is weak, and it is not impossible to be broken by dozens of elite Xian troops, how can there be as many as two or three thousand. ”

"Heavenly King, if the Xian army really breaks through the Juxia Pass from behind, it will only take three days for the Xian cavalry to kill Dongping! Perhaps Zhao Xun knew that Ye Xin would break through from Sichuan, so he was not in a hurry to go south to Pengyuan. ”

Shen Duchi said worriedly, the supernatural power was still hesitant, and he did not believe that the Xian army could enter the middle of the Sichuan from outside Sichuan:

"No, there must be something else going on in that. To the west of Langfeng is a hundred thousand mountains, and it is impossible for the Xian army to send two or three thousand people into the mountains no matter what. ”

"What should I do if Najin County is lost, if there are really three or two thousand people, or even more Xian troops appear behind the giant gorge, our army will have no way to retreat."

"In this way, you immediately send 3,000 cavalry to Langfeng, if a small group of Xian troops attack, they will be wiped out immediately, if it is a large group of Xian troops, you must go down to the village on the road, prevent it from going out of the mountain, and come to report to me immediately."

"The last will obey."

"In addition, send scouts to monitor the movements of Peng Yuanxian's army, and if necessary, send a detailed envoy to Sangnan County to contact the Shengyan Heavenly King to find out Zhao Xun's intentions, the sooner the better."

Jin County is located in the middle of nowhere, it is the most remote county town in the southwest under Langfeng City, with a population of only more than 13,000 people, and the population of the county seat is less than 5,000.

This time, more than 500 Xian troops entered the mountain, and they entered the mountain in 60 hot air balloons. The reason why Langfeng City is so accurately located is that Langfeng City is built on the open flat land at the foot of Langfeng Mountain, the highest mountain in Wanchuan.

Langfeng Mountain is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, the mountainside is covered with snow all the year round, the second highest peak around is more than 2,400 meters above sea level, the disparity is more than 1,600 meters, drifting from southwest to northeast, it is very easy to identify, 100 kilometers away, the eight-fold telescope can still be seen carefully discerning, coupled with the southwest wind clamping, it is more than enough to fly over the mountainous area of 400 miles in two days.

After the hot air balloon landed, it took two days to assemble, and then crossed the 60-mile mountain road to Jin County. Taking advantage of the night to take the county seat, claiming the scale of two or three thousand people, it was really the defenders who were frightened by the Xian army.

Soon after Shentong fled into Wanchuan, Gongliang's army "attacked the city and plundered the terrain like a bamboo" all the way, and at the same time divided troops across the Sishui River to attack the two counties of Helong and Lingjiang, but on the twenty-sixth day of August, what Gongliang was worried about finally happened.

"Father, urgent news from Dingxiang County." Gongliangxiu hurriedly entered the hall and said as he walked: "The Xianguo Navy crossed the border in Dingxiang a few days ago, and it should be in Changyin in these two days." ”

Gongliang frowned, put down the pen in his hand and hurriedly asked:

"How many ships are there?"

"There must be more than two hundred, most of them warships."

"Is there cargo on board?"

"There's a load, but it's not clear what's in it."

Gongliangxiu said quickly, and transferred the news to Gongliangyi, and Gongliangyi looked suspicious at a glance:

"The salty navy has been operating in the territory of the salty country before, and has never entered the country, and this time it is out of the nest, it must be a major action by Bailiyan."

"Could it be that Baili Yan is guarding against the Changsun Water Army going upstream, and transferring the Water Army into the Sishui River in advance to prepare for the unexpected."

Gongliang Xiu guessed, Gongliang Yi twisted his long beard and nodded slightly and said affirmatively:

"Yes, Bailiyan transferred the water army into the Sishui River, it must be to guard against the Changsun water army going south. According to reliable sources, Huang Che's navy has grown to more than 200 ships, and after merging with the Xianguo navy, there will be more than 400 ships, and half of the main force of the Changsun navy is still escorting in the Beihai, and the inland river navy is not all the main force. ”

"He Baili Yan is crazy, and he really dares to swallow the six counties. Either we immediately block the river and prevent its water army from entering the river, so that the situation does not deteriorate. ”

"No, it doesn't matter if the Changsun Bujun is weak, even if the rebels are recruited, the rebels may not really help it, so the important thing is the water army, since Baili Yan has called the water army, he should have great confidence to defeat the Changsun water army. Once the Changsun Navy is annihilated, and the land war is again contained, as long as it drags on for a year and a half, the defense of the country will be killed, and the Xian army will only need to give up the two counties of Yuanshan and Dekang, and take the Sishui River as the boundary, and the biggest loss at that time will be Changsun. ”

"With such a huge amount of money, if you are not careful, you will lose everything. Moreover, if the country occupies Yuanshan and Dekang, it will not be of any benefit to our army, and what is the difference between luring a wolf into the house. ”

"Even so, the Xian army can't collapse on the northern front, if the Xian army collapses, the Xian country will also collapse, and my Gongliang clan will be at the forefront of the Zhiwang as a shield. It is better to let Xianguo provoke right and wrong in front of him, than you and my father and son to be substitutes for the dead ghosts. Let them pass through the border of the Xian army, but they can't be cheapened. Xiu'er, you go to Xuandi immediately, and let Bailiyan hand over the six cities of Xiaguan first. ”

"But hasn't the king already hinted that he won't get back the two counties and thirteen lands for the time being?"

"The king has this intention, but he didn't say that the Xianjun took the initiative to give us up and we won't accept it. Moreover, the six places under the control of Bailiyan are all going north to the key points, and if the eldest grandson goes south to take advantage of the situation to capture the six places in the future, who will he find to ask for it at that time. ”

"Oh...... The child understood, and the child immediately went to negotiate. ”

Soon after Gongliangxiu left Luancang, news from all walks of life in the Xian army followed, and Lei Ting and Shengyan made peace with the eldest grandson in late July, but no compromise was reached by the end of August.

After Gongsun Yue captured the whole county of Yuanshan, the troops of Qiu County across the realm were empty, and the rebel generals from all over the country surrendered, and the land of half of the county changed its course one after another, and the unexpected harvest made everyone unexpected.

"Master Hou, the Wei army is rushing eastward, and Qiu Jun is the fat meat on the mouth of the Changsun Kingdom, if our army occupies it, the Changsun Kingdom has not yet dealt with it, and this Wei Guo will not immediately turn against our army."

Jiang Jie was worried, and Zhou Kong also said:

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and you are not afraid of dying!"

"What is Ben Shuai afraid of!" Bai Liyan said disdainfully: "Weiguo is still far away, after the armistice on the Eastern Front, the bargaining chips of the Foolish Sect on the Western Front are not as good as before, all the conditions have to be renegotiated, where can Weiguo take care of Qiujun." Taking a step back, I still have some friendship with that Shen Bi, and the iron materials needed to defend the country need to be supplied by Xianguo, so he has to sell some face to me. ”

"No matter how big the face is, can it be worth a county!" Zhou Kong asked rhetorically, walking back and forth in a huff, as if the fire had burned to her eyebrows.
