In Daxia Yixiang City, the government in the city has been changed into a temporary palace. Regardless of whether the people of the world recognize it or not, at least in Yixiang City, Deguang has become the emperor of the current dynasty. And the veteran Sun Gang was also canonized by Deguang as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses. Fan Jiachang was canonized as Fu Shuai and concurrently served as the head of the Imperial Forest Army.

In the palace, Deguang read the secret letter sent by Delong and handed it to Fan Jiachang, who was standing next to him.

"Jiachang, you are your uncle's personal guard, and you are my most trusted Aiqing in Yixiang City. You analyze, will there be any conspiracy in Delong's move? Deguang asked.

Fan Jiachang took a quick look, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Delong was subject to the implication of Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun, and was being abandoned by the world. According to the news obtained by Weichen, the hearts of the soldiers and horses in Kyoto are disheartened, and many soldiers and guards have fled. It seems that Delong has run out of gas. ”

"So, I can go back to Beijing and take over the throne?"

"Your Majesty must not, Delong's move is just a temptation, Your Majesty must not be in danger. What's more, Delong made a request to destroy the national thieves first, and then eradicate the criminals. At present, Duan Lang's fight against foreign invaders has won the hearts of the people, and such a thing that the people will support must not be done. Delong's intentions are sinister, and the minister believes that even when the master is alive, he will persuade His Majesty not to do so. Fan Jiachang said solemnly.

Deguang leaned back on the imperial chair and sighed regretfully, "You're right, Duan Lang does have some skills, it would be great if he could recruit my subordinates." It's a pity that when Dezhang was the crown prince, he didn't take Duan Lang in his eyes. Delong Chengfu Providence got Duan Lang, but he didn't know how to cherish it. not only abandoned the good general, but also almost became the king of the country. Unwise, really unwise. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can show favor to the Duan family's army, even if he can't be taken under His Majesty's command, at least don't make enemies. In the present situation, this would be of great benefit to His Majesty. ”

Deguang nodded, "Well, I have that intention. The people of Imagane City are weak and can't withstand the wind and waves. In today's plan, Duan Jiajun is still needed to help at a critical time. As for Kyoto, Na Delong's ghost is still thinking about eradicating Duan Lang, and he is simply not worthy of being my Zhao family man. ”

Speaking of this, Deguang pondered for a moment, and then said, "It seems that in this matter against Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun, I have to make a gesture. Come on, the intention is ~! ”

Deguang immediately issued a proclamation and ordered people to send them to various capitals. However, Deguang did not use the name of the emperor, but as the eldest prince of Emperor Yuning, he denounced the evil deeds of Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun. In the text, Deguang pleaded with all forces in the world to unite and fight the enemy together. Not only that, but he also called on Kyoto Delong to put aside his prejudices against Duan Lang, and highly praised Duan Lang's heroic deeds.

Deguang's move has indeed won him a lot of public opinion, and it has won the support of the people of Yixiang City. However, in this way, it seems that Kyoto Delong is jealous of the virtuous. Just as Deguang was courting Duan Lang, the three-way army of Lidu City besieged Jingshan City.

Jingshan City is located on the coast of the East China Sea, which originally belonged to the Eastern Wilderness of Great Xia. It is precisely because of this that the eastern cities of Great Xia have never been valued by the court. Jingshan, Fangshan and other capitals are happy to live their own small lives behind closed doors. From time to time, he also lied to the court about the relief of the famine, and the development of the city was not bad. But since Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun moved in, everything has changed here.

Under the head of the city, Lu Zhengshan lined up in formation, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense. Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun stood on top of the city, looking at the vanguard army outside the city, their expressions were very solemn.

"Brother Feng, what should come is always coming, it seems that the peaceful days are over." Zhu Wenjun said in a low voice.

"What, scared?" Feng Zhun turned his head and glanced at Zhu Wenjun.

Zhu Wenjun snorted disdainfully, "What's so fearful of this, licking blood with a knife is a man's true nature, and it is not so easy to take down my Jingshan City." ”

Feng Zhun nodded, "Brother Zhu, the strife in the world is an opportunity for anyone. If you want to be glorious in the future, you have to fight for it. God is very fair, if you don't fight, then you can only hold your tail and be a man, begging for a bowl of rice under other people's faces. You and I are both people who have experienced ups and downs, and since God has given this opportunity, let's fight hard. ”

"Brother Feng, don't worry, you and I have no way to retreat, and we must fight against the water. However, that section of Lang is not a stubble, and you need to be careful. Everything went according to a pre-planned plan, and I believe they won't last long. ”

Feng Zhun stroked his beard and agreed, "Yes, no matter how angry Duan Lang is, the situation in the world does not allow him to stay here for a long time." The Mokun army has already arrived in Yiming City, and will soon cross the middle line and go straight to the Mokun camp to join it. Lu Mu Mokun is not an idle person, we have attracted Duan Lang's main force, and they will never let go of such a good opportunity. Unless Duan Lang wants to give up the world and fight to the death with us, if that's the case, it can only be said that our fate is not as good as ours. ”

Zhu Wenjun sneered a few times, "Duan Lang's family has been fighting for the hearts of the people, if he dares to let the foreign gangsters run rampant and leave it alone, our life and death will be worth it." Wealth is in danger, not to mention that Duan Lang was originally the enemy of you and me. If it weren't for him, Dezhang would have ascended the throne and become emperor, and we would be enjoying the joy of family at this time. ”

"That's right, it's a pity that those unfilial disciples who are forbidden took refuge in Duan Lang. Yu Ban was vigilant and wise, but he didn't expect to be betrayed by his disciples after his death, I'm afraid that Lord Xiangguo won't be blind when he dies. ”

Zhu Wenjun also sighed, they couldn't have imagined that Duan Lang was obviously the enemy of the Yu faction, why Jiang Zhuming, Zhang Guangzhi and others actually took refuge in him. If it weren't for this, when attacking Chengyang Mansion, Feng Zhun would not have done such ruthless to Liang Yi.

Just as the two were watching, Lu Zhengshan came to the city with a horse and shouted loudly at the city.

"Listen to the people in the city, at the moment when the foreign enemies of my Great Xia nation are present, you don't kill the foreign invaders to save the people and the water and fire, but you kill your own compatriots with black hands behind your back. Heaven and earth will not tolerate such heinous evil deeds. If you have the ability, go out of the city and fight with the general, otherwise, Lao Tzu will definitely sacrifice your dead brother with your head. ”

Feng Zhun frowned, when Lu Zhengshan took office in Kyoto, it was after he was deposed. Even if he went to Lidu City to celebrate the wedding later, Feng Zhun didn't meet it, so he only heard his name and didn't see Lu Zhengshan.

"Lao Zhu, are you familiar with this person?"

Zhu Wenjun said, "He was Emperor Yuning's bodyguard back then, and he was placed in the original new army camp by Emperor Yuning. Later, the soldiers divided the capital and followed Duan Lang. Duan Lang had twelve generals under him, and this person was one of them. Oh no, it should be said that there are only eleven members now, and Geng Zhishan, who was killed in Chengyang Mansion, is also one of them. ”

Feng Zhun couldn't help but smack his mouth and said, "Hey, I don't know how many lifetimes this kid has accumulated blessings, and there are so many capable people under him." Not to mention the Zhou brothers, just the eighteen beheadings of the calendar around him are enough to shock the world. What's more, there is also the help of the strange woman Tantai Mingyue. I really don't know what kind of heart Kyoto Delong is blind to, and he actually cut off such a huge arm, no wonder Daxia is going to perish. ”

"Brother Feng, you and my family members have secretly moved to the countryside. As long as they can resist this attack, the six eastern cities and nineteen counties will inevitably be in the bag. When the time comes, you and I will start a new dynasty and establish our own kingdom. Zhu Wenjun said in high spirits.

Feng Zhun took a deep breath, who in the whole world doesn't want to be the emperor. But Feng Zhun knew that there was a price to be paid for being the emperor, and this time the army of Lidu City was surging, and it was still unknown whether he could bear it. However, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun were both people who had been in charge of the military department, and after careful analysis and judgment, the two dared to commit the killing of Chengyang Mansion. They only hope now that Nanping and Xiyue will be able to plunder on a large scale, and even take Kyoto and Yixiang City in one fell swoop. In that case, he could only force Duan Lang to withdraw his troops and return to the defense. Otherwise, not only will Great Xia perish, but the people will also have a grudge against Duan Lang.

For several days, no matter how Lu Zhengshan cursed, Jingshan City did not respond at all. Not to mention going out of the city to fight, even an arrow is reluctant to be wasted. Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun have made full preparations, not only have they heightened and strengthened the city wall, but the city is also fully equipped with food and grass. Even if the army of Lidu City was trapped outside the city for three or five months, they could still hold on.

Lu Zhengshan was resentful, but he did not dare to disobey the military order and privately order the siege of the city. Moreover, Lu Zhengshan's forward barracks were all cavalry, and there were no climbing equipment. In desperation, Lu Zhengshan could only wait for the arrival of follow-up soldiers and horses.

A few days later, Duan Lang led the army to the city gate. Seeing that the Chinese army battalion erected the 'Duan' character handsome flag, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun knew that the real battle was about to begin.

Opposite Jingshan City, as soon as Duan Lang and the others set up camp, Azhu walked into the Chinese army's tent. Seeing his wife come in, Zhang Ruming ran over and grabbed Azhu's hand distressedly.

"Madame, look, you're hungry and thin. If there is such an errand in the future, the husband will go out for you. ”

Ah Zhu glanced at Duan Lang and Mingyue embarrassedly, and quickly shook Zhang Ruming's hand, "Look at it, you let go." ”

Tantai Mingyue said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, don't raise Sister Azhu like you." ”

Duan Lang also teased, "Lao Zhang, I usually see that you are also a man, why do you see Ah Zhu, you are cheap, you don't look like a person, can you be a gentleman." ”

Zhang Ruming's nostrils raised, "You kid knows a fart, this is called affection, do you know." ”

Tantai Mingyue walked over, took Azhu's hand and asked softly, "Sister Azhu, how is it, are you all arranged?" ”

As soon as it came to business, everyone became serious. Azhu nodded and said, "All the personnel have entered the city in batches, as long as the war is together, they know what to do." ”

"Azhu, how are the reserves in the city?" Duan Lang asked.

"There are a few areas in the city that are heavily guarded and I can't get in. And I only stayed in the city for two days, and I didn't get much. However, there was an old man at the gate of the city who set up a hexagram stall, and according to him, some time ago, there were grain and grass vehicles entering the city every day. In addition, Feng Zhun is also recruiting new troops, and it is said that there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people sent from the surrounding cities. It seems that Feng Zhun is ready to fight a long-term defensive battle. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded, "Fortunately, you came out before the lockdown, and I was still worried about the city gate, and you were also blocked in the city." ”

"Actually, it's okay if I'm in the city, I can dispatch people in the city to cooperate with each other." Azhu said.

Tantai Mingyue shook her head, "That's not good, Ah Zhu, you are our intelligence hub, you can't just stare at Jingshan City." To be honest, even if Jingshan doesn't have any intelligence, as long as he attacks it, he can still take it. What I'm worried about now is news from the rear. At present, everyone knows that our army has come to Jingshan, and Lu Mumokun will also get the news. What's next for them is very important, is it Kyoto or Mixc? Or something else, I have to keep track of it. ”

Zhang Ruming's chest straightened, "Isn't there still me, just ask me if you have anything." ”

Tantai Mingyue's eyes glared, "What about it, I asked you to send a message to Uncle Zhou, but you didn't think to send it two days late." If it were someone else, this military division would have been dealt with by military law a long time ago. ”

Zhang Ruming coughed twice, "Didn't I~ not delay for long." ”

When Ah Zhu heard this, he immediately glanced at Zhang Ruming, "There is some news, and a delay of one day will cause irreparable losses." Forget it, I'll do these things in the future, you are not this material at all. ”

Duan Lang also said, "Lao Zhang, this is not to underestimate you, meticulous work is really not something you can do." ”

Duan Lang then asked about the general layout and population density of the city, and after asking, Yutai Mingyue said.

"Ah Zhu, the recent intelligence is a little disordered, you better sort it out quickly. Inform Zhou Bo that the capitals will strengthen intelligence control and closely monitor Mo Kun and Lu Mu's every move. Whatever they do, they must send the message as soon as possible. ”

Tantai Mingyue said, looking at Duan Lang, "Lang, I propose to let Da Fei go to Fengluan Mountain." Once there is major news, only Dafei can send it in time. Moreover, let Da Fei take Xiaobai and them on a trip to familiarize themselves with the route. I couldn't grasp the movements of Mo Kun and Lu Mu, and I was very uneasy. ”

Zhang Ruming said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, they are just going to destroy Delong or Deguang." Just let them eat the dog, and we won't have to do it. ”

Duan Lang also frowned, "Yue'er, the siege is imminent, I think it's better for Da Fei to stay here." Although we look down on this Jingshan City, it is an offensive and defensive battle after all, and there are no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Sometimes, I need to fly around and scout in the air. ”

"Lang, as the head of an army, you have to look at the big picture. In fact, if it weren't for the anger of the soldiers, I would have prevented all the soldiers and horses from being pulled down to Jingshan. As a military advisor, I must remind you that your great enemies are Mo Kun and Lu Mu, not Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun in the twilight of Xiaoxiao. It is your brother who died in Chengyang Mansion, and it is also everyone's brother, and everyone is sad. However, you Duan Lang must care about the world, only with a large pattern and a high vision, can you see the overall situation. Only then can you make your brother lose less. If you blindly start a fire to block the water, you can only be angry and brave for a while. ”

Duan Lang and Zhang Ruming and Ah Zhu all looked at Tangtai Mingyue in amazement, and they found that Tangtai Mingyue actually said these words in an angry tone. You must know that since Tantai Mingyue became a military advisor, he has never spoken to Duan Lang in such a tone.

Zhang Ruming hurriedly said, "Brother and sister, Duan Lang was also confused by Feng Zhun, the old boy, if you have something to discuss, don't be angry." ”

Duan Lang looked at Yutai Mingyue suspiciously, and said softly, "Yue'er, you haven't talked much along the way, did I do something wrong?" You should know me, I'm not the kind of person who is dictatory. If there is a mistake, whether in person or in private, you can point it out. ”

Looking at Duan Lang's somewhat self-reproachful gaze, Tantai Mingyue's heart softened, "It's okay, I was too worried just now, and I was in a hurry to speak tougher." Lang, to be honest, since we withdrew our troops at the lower pass, I have been faintly uneasy in my heart. Although it is still impossible to determine where this uneasiness comes from, I conclude that it is related to Na Mokun and Lu Mu. It is not easy for us to work hard to create such a situation, and we can't lose our minds because of Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun's evil deeds. Maybe the husband thinks Yue'er is a little unkind, but Yue'er is for your good. ”

Duan Lang walked over and gently grabbed Mingyue's hand, and said gently, "Yue'er, even that Lu Mu Mokun looks down on you, let alone my husband." We are all used to being rough, and it is inevitable that some problems cannot be seen clearly. Since you say so, then Da Fei will be handed over to you to call. With you standing behind me, not only am I relieved, but my brothers are also at ease. Yue'er, I trust you. ”

Zhang Ruming's mouth was as if he was eighty thousand, "Zhu Zhu, have you seen it, this kid didn't know how many women from good families he had cheated in his previous life." Lao Tzu was still afraid that they would quarrel, and Bai worried about them. Let's go, let's go too. ”

Zhang Ruming pulled Ah Zhu and hurriedly left the Chinese army's tent. He wants to leave the big tent to Duan Lang and Mingyue, no matter what, Mingyue swept Duan Lang's face just now, and he has to leave a chance for others to whisper.

Tantai Mingyue lowered her head embarrassedly and said softly, "Lang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used this tone in front of them." Mingyue knew that she was wrong. ”

Duan Lang caressed Tai Mingyue's hair lovingly, and took her into his arms, "Silly girl, you didn't do anything wrong." I've calmed down a lot along the way, even if I take Jingshan City, I don't need to use all my strength. You're right, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun are not worthy of being my opponent, my opponents are Lu Mu and Mo Kun. Yue'er, along the way, are you angry with me? ”

Yutai Mingyue shook her head slightly, and the little bird leaned on Duan Lang's arms, "Yue'er is not angry, but worried." The husband is a person who does great things, you have many brothers, and you treat them as relatives, so you take care of everyone. But in Yue'er's heart, you are all I have. Therefore, any crisis related to her husband, Yue'er is extremely worried. ”

Duan Lang looked at Lantai Mingyue with great emotion, although this was a bit selfish, but for a woman, it was heartfelt. Duan Lang was not a reckless person, and Tai Mingyue's words alerted him like an empowerment. Mingyue is right, the army of Lidu City is pouring east, is it just a matter of letting the world ignore it. If this place can't be attacked for a long time, then Mo Kun and Lu Mu will definitely not just wait for the return of the Duan family's army.

Duan Lang summoned the generals and began to make some adjustments again. Since the eastward retreat of Xiaguankou, it has always been Duan Lang who has been issuing military orders. But this time, Duan Lang handed over the right to mobilize troops and horses to Yutai Mingyue again.

The army rested for the night, and the next morning, the battalions lined up outside the city. The huge catapult launched the camp, and the ladder that imitated Lu Mu was also assembled. Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue stood side by side on top of the handsome car, looking at Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun in the city, Duan Lang nodded slightly at Zhang Ruming.

A team of shield bearers protected Zhang Ruming and came to the city with horses. Before the war, Zhang Ruming specifically begged Duan Lang to let him call the battle. Li Jianshan's serious injury made Zhang Ruming hold back his anger, and he wanted to scold before going to war. Even if you can't go to the city to fight, you have to curse verbally.

Seeing Zhang Ruming, a dead fat man, appear in front of the battle array, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun glanced at each other, and Zhu Wenjun immediately quietly gave an order.

"The crossbowmen are ready, whoever can shoot this dead fat man with one arrow will have a bounty of ten thousand taels."

Zhang Ruming came to the city with a high spirit, coughed a few times and moistened his throat, stretched out his hand, and before Zhang Ruming could speak, he heard a whooshing and a rain of arrows shooting down.
