"Could it really be that the Stone Sect Master did it? Why don't you write a letter to ask Princess Wan'er, Your Highness? Zeng Dong remembered the scene when he attacked Nanjun City, and the people of the whole city supported Ning Bu Quing.

Jiang Huanyan shook her head: "Wan'er may not know about this, besides, she is already married to Shi Luosheng, and she will be a member of the Tianluo Sect in the future, if I ask her, won't it put her in a dilemma?" ”

Zeng Dong still refused to give up: "Ning Buqu was seriously injured, if it was really the Tianluo Sect that rescued him, it was nothing more than two choices, one was to hide Ning Buqu in Rongcheng, and the other was to send him to Naha, I will now send people to these two places to monitor, once I find Ning Buqu's traces, I will kill him." ”

"It's useless, with the ability of stone falling, he really wants to hide Ning Unyielding, how can you find out, we still concentrate on taking Jinxing and completing the last battle against Yan Kingdom." Jiang Huanyan's attention returned to the war to destroy Yan.

"Sect Master Shi rescued Ning Buqu, it seems that he has made up his mind to compete with us for hegemony in the future, why don't we take advantage of their weakness now and wipe out the Yan Kingdom and then clean them up together, right?" Zeng Dong asked cautiously, Shi Luosheng is the concubine of the Qi State, if this word comes out, it may bring death to himself.

Jiang Huanyan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Do you think that I or my father are not using troops in Xichuan now because of Wan'er?" ”

Zeng Dong didn't dare to speak, but nodded slightly.

Jiang Huanyan said with a smile: "In front of the great cause of reunification, not to mention Shi Luosheng and Wan'er, even I, Jiang Huanyan myself, can be sacrificed." ”

Zeng Dong was puzzled: "Since this is the case, then after we take Jinxing, we will use troops against Xichuan." Now Sect Master Shi, Liu Zixuan and Yang Yi are all thousands of miles away to attack Qin, and there is only one Ling Zhen left in Rongcheng, and our troops are divided into two ways, no matter how powerful he is, he can't resist it. ”

"If I can destroy the Tianluo Sect by taking Xichuan, I will not hesitate to attack them. But don't forget, the main force of the Tianluo Sect is in the Ryukyus, and the combat effectiveness of their naval army is not under our Great Qi. If I send troops to Xichuan, then all the coastal cities of our Great Qi will face the retaliation of the Tianluo Sect, and it is nothing to do in peacetime, but now we are at an important juncture in the unification of the five countries, and we must not make any extraneous branches. Jiang Huanyan knew that Jiang Wushuang's strategy was to go mainland first and then overseas, so he flatly refused.

Zeng Dong didn't speak again, he really ignored the power of the Tianluo Sect overseas, if he really wanted to go to war with them, with the current strength of the Tianluo Sect, he could completely attack the long coastline of the Qi State at the same time.

At present, he and Jiang Huanyan are both in Yan State, and there is only one Lu Xinghai left in Qi State who can command naval battles, and the most important thing in Tianluo Sect is the naval generals, eight generals a day, Ni Yun, Niu Qingyuan, Liu Suojing, etc., can all independently lead an army into the hinterland of Qi State, and it is really difficult to say whether the outcome will be won or lost at that time.

Jiang Huanyan saw that he didn't speak, and said: "There is one more thing you have also overlooked, Shi Luosheng is Deng Yuanjue's righteous son, once we force him, if he joins forces with Deng Yuanjue, how many chances do you think we still have?" ”

"I always thought that Your Highness, you didn't use troops against the Shi Sect Master because you cared about the brother-sister relationship with Princess Wan'er, but now it seems that I thought too superficially." Zeng Dong looked ashamed.

Jiang Huanyan didn't care, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's good that you can figure it out now, after taking Jinxing, our next target is Song Guo and Deng Yuanjue." ”

"Sect Master, General Gao, Wu Hualiu, and Ji Luer led the troops to Bazhou, and Wang Chiji, Yin Baoli and Mr. Wang went to Yangquan, I believe that it won't be long before the good news comes back." Yang Yi was very happy when he saw Shi Luosheng and the others come back safely.

During the period when Shi Luosheng left, Yang Yibing continued to attack Qin in two ways, and at the same time, in order to appease the people of Cangzhou, regardless of whether Mei Niansheng was willing or not, he continued to appoint him as the Taishou. But this Taishou is just for show, Yang Yi has already arranged for two of his own people to deal with political affairs, Mei Niansheng was completely hollowed out, just when there is a need, let people go out to make a show.

Shi Luosheng said happily: "Great, but we can let General Gao and them slow down, Bazhou is not far from Sucheng, once we take it, Bai Mengqi is likely to give up Yan Chixing and come to trouble us." ”

Yang Yi said with a smile: "I am also worried about this, so I let Wang Chiji and them go to Yangquan, I plan to take the entire state first, separate the Qin State in half, and completely cut off the connection between Bai Mengqi and Sucheng, and then attack Sucheng." ”

Shi Luosheng nodded: "This strategy is feasible, in case Yan Chixing is transferred by Xiao Yan in the future, we can also trap Bai Mengqi in Liaocheng." ”

Speaking of Yan Chixing, Yang Yi looked a little worried: "Now that Deng Yuanjue is being besieged by Qi and Chu, I am worried that Emperor Xiao Yan of the Song Dynasty will recall Yan Chixing to deal with him together at this time, and then we will have to face the entire Qin State alone, we currently only have 130,000 troops, and this amount of strength is probably not the opponent of the Qin State." ”

Shi Luosheng also looked worried when he heard this: "The possibility you said does exist, Xiao Yan is really likely to do this, but this is not something we can control, the key is to see if Yan Chixing can defeat Bai Mengqi in the short term, otherwise he will feel that it is not interesting to stay." ”

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "Now that the hearts of the people in Cangzhou are attached, this place is no longer suitable for front-line command, why don't we go to Changshan, which is close to Bazhou, Liaocheng and Yangquan, even if there is an emergency, we can deal with it calmly." ”

Shi Luosheng took the map, thought for a while and agreed.

"Great Sima, Tian Wuji and Jiang Huan Chu from the Qi State have returned to Xiangyang and Kaifeng, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will start a war against the Great General." In the camp of the Song army in Liaocheng, Yan Chixing was also paying attention to the battle situation in Chu at all times.

"Is Deng Yuanjue in Zhoukou or Suizhou now?" Yan Chixing asked.

Ji Yun replied: "The general is still in Zhoukou, but his offensive has weakened significantly, and he is probably afraid that Tian Wuji will attack him from behind." ”

Yan Chixing shook his head: "Deng Yuanjue is not worried about Tian Wuji, but about Jiang Huanchu. Now it is Lei Zhengming who guards Suizhou, even if the Qi army comes to sneak attack, he can hold it in a short time. But if Deng Yuanjue attacked Zhoukou, Jiang Huan Chu would not sit idly by, and when the 100,000 army and Xiang Chuli should join forces, Deng Yuanjue could only withdraw to Suizhou, and Yingchuan would have to be exposed to the flames of war again. ”

Wu Changchen was worried: "If the general is defeated, will His Majesty summon us back to deal with him?" ”

"Maybe now Your Majesty is discussing with Yuan Chengce and Gao Yi whether I should be transferred back." Yan Chixing sneered.

Ji Yun hurriedly said: "Then how can it be done, once we go back, don't think about coming out again, even if we can defeat the general in the future, we will have to face the powerful Qi army." ”

"But we can't do anything about Bai Mengqi if we stay here, the Tianluo Sect has already taken the entire Jizhou County, and now the troops are divided into two ways to take Bazhou and Yangquan, and they are all cheap, but we are empty of food." Wu Changchen's opinion was different from Ji Yun's, he felt that staying was just helping the Tianluo Sect contain Bai Mengqi.

Yan Chixing thought for a while and said, "The reason why Bai Mengqi didn't take action against the Tianluo Sect at first was because they were weak, but now that they can threaten Sucheng, I think Feng Bomou and Bai Mengqi should be more worried about them." ”

Ji Yun's eyes lit up: "Da Sima means that we are also deliberately showing weakness?" ”

"Yes, pass on my military order, withdraw to Puyang tomorrow, and I'll see how Bai Mengqi will respond. If he lets me go, I'll wait for him to leave Liaocheng and then attack Qin again. Yan Chixing smiled.

Ji Yun also smiled: "Clever plan, if Bai Mengqi leads the army to chase, then we will set up an ambush in advance and wait for him to enter the set, he will lose if he chases, and if he doesn't chase, he will lose, I will see how he can crack it." ”

"General, I see that the Song army is packing their luggage, it seems that they are planning to retreat." Lin Peiyuan, the forward of the Qin army, reported to Bai Mengqi with a happy face.

The deputy general on the side, Bai Si, was also overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, Yan Chi is gone, we can go back to deal with the Tianluo Sect." Gao Kegong is now fighting Bazhou, and once Bazhou loses, it will directly threaten Sucheng. ”

Bai Mengqi tapped his finger on the table: "You all tell me why Yan Chixing wants to withdraw the army now?" ”

Lin Peiyuan blurted out: "There is no need to think about it, the state of Chu has been restored, Deng Yuanjue is in crisis, Xiao Yan plans to take this opportunity to unite with foreign enemies to clean up Deng Yuanjue, and it is normal to transfer back to Yan Chixing." ”

Seeing that Bai Si also nodded in agreement with Lin Peiyuan, Bai Mengqi sighed and said, "But the secret agent we planted in Jianye has not sent any news back, saying that Xiao Yan intends to recall Yan Chixing. ”

Lin Peiyuan was puzzled: "What the general means is that Yan Chixing's retreat this time was spontaneous, is there any fraud in this?" ”

"Yes, the purpose of Yan Chixing's retreat is to let us deal with the Tianluo Sect first, but once we really leave, they will immediately make a comeback, and not only will Liaocheng not be able to keep it, but we may also lose to them and the Tianluo Sect's coalition army." Bai Mengqi frowned.

Lin Peiyuan understood Bai Mengqi's worries: "If we go to pursue the retreating Song army and fall into Yan Chixing's ambush, then what should we do?" ”

"General, Deng Wenying of the Song State sent 50,000 troops to attack our Tanzhong City, and Chen Pengcheng, the Taishou, sent someone to ask you for help." Just when Bai Mengqi was hesitating, Deng Yuanjue's eldest son Deng Wenying also sent troops from Yulin City.

"What? At this time, Deng Wenying also came to get involved, did he discuss it with Yan Chixing or did he act alone? "Lin Peiyuan and Deng Wenying have fought many times, and he knows that Chen Pengcheng is not his opponent.

"It's not clear yet." The spy replied with some embarrassment.

Bai Mengqi's face was even more ugly: "It's the three-way army that jointly attacked my Great Qin, which is exactly the same as the defeat of Chu and Yan." Now, whether they have agreed in advance or not, we have to stop him. Peiyuan, you have been fighting Deng Wenying for many years, I will give you an army of 30,000 now, and you will immediately rush to Tanzhong City to assist Chen Pengcheng. ”
