In Xining City, Guan Zhen, the guard of Molan City, who was taken by the Prison Heaven Courtyard, appeared in an inn. Since the Heavenly Prison Court took over the soldiers and horses of Molan City, Guan Zhen should have been imprisoned in the prison of Molan City. But as soon as the people of the Heavenly Prison left, Guan Zhen was released.

Duan Lang originally planned to fight the capital city together, and the soldiers and horses of the three places of Molan City would kill the government detectives of the Heavenly Prison Academy, and gather men and horses to kill Kyoto. However, the plan of Lidu City changed, and Yutai Mingyue decided to let them go to Yan Facheng. When the time comes, everyone will act according to the plan, which will make the situation of the battle more delicate.

In the inn, several standard commanders walked into one after another, and the shopkeeper glanced at the shopkeeper, and simply closed the door to thank the guests, and several guys were alert around the guard.

Several standard commanders entered the room, saw Guan Zhen clenched his fists and said, "Subordinates, see the general." ”

"You guys have worked hard, how is it, is the formation of soldiers and horses disrupted?" Guan Zhen asked.

A standard commander said, "Fortunately, although it is mixed with the original soldiers and horses in Zhenling Pass, the establishment of less than 100 people has not been disrupted. Besides, there are 50,000 troops in Zhenlingguan District, and if you want me to say that you should simply eat them. ”

"No, the military master has clearly ordered that you must not start a war with the guards of Zhenling Pass, you just need to leave. Let's evacuate, if the Nanping army comes in, it will be Yan Facheng's incompetence. If the guards of Zhenling Pass are annihilated, the Nanping army will be equivalent to what we put in. When the time comes, the people of the world will spit on our Duan Shuai. This side is different from the situation in Lidu City, which is suffering from the enemy on its back, and the people will understand that Duan Shuai was forced to evacuate in desperation. What the military advisor cares about is the public opinion of the world, not the 50,000 people. ”

Guan Zhen warned everyone that he knew the intentions of the military advisor Mingyue, and he didn't want Duan Shuai to bear the infamy of introducing foreign criminals. Otherwise, even if the capital city resists foreign invaders afterwards, it will not be forgiven by the people of the world.

"General, when are we going to act?" Another asked the standard.

"The military advisor ordered me to wait for the news, and when the time comes, the Shadow Secret Station will give instructions. You go back first and inform all the brothers, as long as the signal is together, everyone will quickly leave the camp and come to Xining City to assemble. ”

"General, what if Yan Facheng gives the order?"

Guan Zhen sneered, "Yan Facheng is not a fool, he knows his strength very well. ”

Guan Zhen made some arrangements, and everyone quietly left the inn and returned to their own camps.

In the capital city, after two months of scolding battles, Duan Lang finally ushered in Lu Mu's messenger. After reading the letter, Li Jianshan mocked.

"This kid is quite polite, and asked if we were fighting a fake fight, or if we would just give up the city. How about it, do you want to fight, save us from infamy. ”

"There's no need for that, Yue'er, you estimate the time, and I'll reply to Lu Mu." Duan Lang said.

Yutai Mingyue made a slight calculation and said, "Immediately notify the people of the two cities and inform them to evacuate to other county governments to avoid the disaster of war." Seven days later, the soldiers and horses of Landu City evacuated, and Lu Mu could be notified to take over. Eleven days later, the west gate of the capital city opened. If they pass this hour and are taken over by the army of the court, then we can't complain. In addition, inform the soldiers of Zhenlingguan in Xining that the soldiers and horses will withdraw from Zhenlingguan and move to Wuliangcheng in seven days, so as to make arrangements for our soldiers and horses to cross the desert. ”

Li Jianshan asked, "Mingyue, Daxia Zhenling Pass and Nanping Wuling Pass are separated by more than ten miles, what if that Mokun can't receive information?" ”

"Mo Kun is scheming and has helped Xining Hou Zhao Li to guard the Shuangfeng Mountain for two or three years. With his resourcefulness, it is impossible not to set up a secret station in Xining. The 60,000-strong army evacuated in a huge way, and this movement was not small. In addition, Yan Facheng is not an ordinary person, he knows very well that he will not be trusted by Delong. Therefore, I judge that Yan Facheng will take 50,000 soldiers and horses to give up Zhenling Pass to preserve his strength with a false battle. ”

"If both sides are lost at the same time, it is estimated that the whole of Kyoto will be a mess. When the time comes, our Majesty Delong, do you say that you will eradicate the internal troubles first, or resist the external enemy first? Li Jianshan asked with a smile.

"Don't allow him to think about it, when Lu Mu enters the city, this military division will give him a big gift." Mingyue Road.

"A big gift?" Li Jianshan was stunned, "What kind of gift?" ”

"Heaven must not be divulged." Yutai Mingyue pretended to smile mysteriously.

Duan Lang looked at Li Jianshan, "What she means is to leave Lao Zhang to Lu Mu, our big brother Zhang, he has the ability to scold people, he wants to say that he is the second in the world, and no one dares to call him the first." ”

"I'm really convinced in this regard, a few days ago, there was a general on the opposite side who was scolded crazy by him, and he rushed to the city with a broken gun, and was directly shot into a hornet's nest by our guards. Come on, I won't let you two idle anymore, mine will hurry up and arrange the arrangement. Li Jianshan said with a smile.

"Jianshan, if you look back at the people in the city and ask, you have to be responsible for explaining." Duan Lang hurriedly said.

"No problem, I'm good at it."

After the three of them finished discussing, Duan Lang replied to Lu Mu with a letter according to the estimated time of the Ming Moon of Tangtai. On the same day, Lidu City and Landu City posted notices to the people of the city, informing everyone that the Xiyue army was about to be killed, and the soldiers and horses of Lidu City were unable to resist in the case of being attacked from both sides, and the army defending the city must be strategically shifted.

Duan Lang didn't want to meet the questions of the people who flocked to him, so he hid on the city wall early and watched Zhang Ruming's tricks and scolding. Within the government, everything was handed over to the unlucky Li Jianshan. Faced with the incomprehensible questions of the people in the city, Li Jianshan said that his mouth was dry and sweating profusely. knew that it was so troublesome, and he wanted to change tasks with Zhang Ruming.

No pale explanation is as shocking as the withdrawal of the army. Seeing that the soldiers and horses in the city began to evacuate in batches, the people of the two cities understood that the announcement was not child's play, and it seemed that the army was really going to abandon the city.

In the Two Realms Mountain, Lu Mu led the army to arrive as promised. When he saw the wide open gates and empty city heads of Landu City, he was relieved. The city of Landu has become desolate again, except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled people who have not evacuated, and have become empty. In the former general's mansion, even the door panels were dismantled.

Looking at the layout of the city defense that had been renovated and heightened, Lu Mu said with emotion, "If it weren't for this civil war in Great Xia, I'm afraid it would be difficult for my Xiyue soldiers and horses to cross this Landu City again." The war three years ago, Lu still remembers it vividly. If it weren't for Han Shuai dragging Duan Lang's army, I'm afraid I, Lu Mu, would also be planted here. ”

"Governor, this time my West Vietnamese soldiers and horses are back, and I will definitely kill all the soldiers and horses in the capital to avenge my Han Shuai." A general who participated in the war said sadly.

"Duan Lang is not so easy to kill, this time they gave up the two cities, they should have crossed the desert and went to the direction of Wuliang City. This hard bone, let Mo Kun's old fox gnaw it. Inform the army to be on guard and search the city for suspicious places. Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers will leave the capital. ”

Lu Mu did not dare to relax, and closely searched all the houses, warehouses and suspicious locations in the city to prevent the army of Landu City from ambushing them. Lu Mu believed in Duan Lang, but he definitely didn't believe in Tangtai Mingyue. It wasn't until the search was completed that there was indeed not a single soldier in the city, and Lu Mu was relieved to let the army unload and rest.

Just when the Xiyue army occupied the capital of Landu City, in the Lingguan of Xining Town, Daxia, 60,000 troops saw the fireworks signal released by Guan Zhen, and left their own camp one after another and ran towards Xining City. What's more, even many guards who were guarding the checkpoint also ran towards the pass.

"Stand still, bold, who let you leave your posts. Damn, it's the other way around. When a thousand households saw that the guards under their control were off duty, they angrily raised their horsewhips and rushed up.

"Get out! If you dare to yell at Lao Tzu again, you will be cut off in the head. A Lidu city guard looked at him sharply, and pointed his gun at this Qianhu.

"You~ Are you going to rebel? Someone, warning~! Qianhu was shocked by the murderous gaze of the guards of the capital city, and hurriedly ordered someone to ring the alarm.

In the camp of Zhenlingguan, Yan Facheng was resting in the big tent, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, and before he could ask what was going on, he heard the sound of the alarm bell.

Yan Facheng was startled, thinking that Wuling Pass was coming from the opposite side, so he hurriedly picked up his war gun and rushed out.

"What's going on, what's going on, stop me. Come on, blow the rallying trumpet. Yan Facheng saw that many guards rushed out of the camp one after another, but he couldn't even stop his shouting, and immediately ordered someone to blow the assembly call.

As soon as the horn sounded, the guards of the capital city subconsciously stopped. It's not a fear in their hearts, it's a habit they've cultivated over the years. Yan Facheng glanced up at the guard tower, and did not see the signal flag of the invasion of foreign enemies, so he was a little relieved. But many guards flocked out of the camp, and Yan Facheng didn't know what was going on.

"Someone, close the camp gates." Yan Facheng shouted loudly.

A group of soldiers and horses were just about to rush up, but they were stopped by the guards of the capital city with their guns raised. Yan Facheng's heart tightened, and he shouted loudly.

"Bold, who dares to disobey the military order, do you want to rebel?"

Yan Facheng is worthy of being an experienced veteran, seeing this situation, even if his heart trembles, he still bursts out with the power of a general on the surface.

Among the guards of Lidu City, a standard commander walked out, hugged his fists and said, "General Yan, I will wait for the soldiers and horses of Lidu City, and under the order of Duan Lang, the marshal of my family, we will go to Xining City to assemble and return to the headquarters of Lidu City." Thank you General Yan for taking care of me these days, and I will say goodbye. ”

"Stop, you are now the guards and horses of my town and mausoleum, whoever dares to make a mistake will be dealt with by military law. Where is the law enforcement team, to maintain the prestige of the military. Yan Facheng shouted loudly.

A team of law enforcement teams ran over, and a general led by them shouted, "Come on, whoever dares to make a mistake will correct the law on the spot." ”

The Lidu City Commander snorted coldly, and with a raise of his spear, many guards behind him quickly lined up, shouting in unison.

"Battle~!"

At this voice, the original guards of the entire battalion suddenly turned pale with fright. Yan Facheng shook, and the war spear in his hand trembled slightly.

"What, are you really going to be a rebel in Great Xia?" Yan Facheng asked loudly.

"General Yan, we were originally soldiers and horses in Lidu City, and we only obeyed the orders of my family Duan Shuai. If you don't want to see each other, it's best not to force us to make a move. To tell the truth, if you really do it, within half a pillar of incense, you will ensure that there is no living mouth in the camp of Zhenlingguan. General Yan, it's best for everyone to be safe. You guard your Zhenling Pass, and I will return to Lidu City to pick up Duan Shuai. ”

Yan Facheng looked at the many guards who were glaring angrily in shock, he knew that this standard commander was right, there were 60,000 soldiers and horses in Lidu City, and there were only more than 50,000 soldiers and guards in Zhenling Pass. What's more, from the momentum of these people, Yan Facheng felt an irresistible aura of intimidation.

Seeing that Yan Facheng's face was pale and he didn't speak, the standard commander hugged his fists, "General Yan, let's get together and disperse, say goodbye!" All the guards of the capital city obeyed the order, and Xining City assembled. ”

The rows of guards seemed to be scattered, but they slowly withdrew from the Zhenlingguan camp with the vigilance of war. Yan Facheng's hands weakened, and the war gun in his hand fell to the ground. The withdrawal of the 60,000-strong army shocked him no less than a big showdown. This is not a reckless force, they are real elite soldiers. If this army takes Kyoto directly, Yan Facheng doesn't know if the war initiated by Delong can still hold the Great Xia River.

Xining City, which was originally stable, was suddenly panicked when many soldiers and horses came one after another. Guan Zhen deliberately let people inform the people in the city that their 60,000 troops were going to evacuate Zhenling Pass and return to the capital city. And the soldiers and horses reinforced by Great Xia will soon come here to supplement the defense. This news was quickly transmitted by the secret agent left by Mo Kun with a flying pigeon.

In Wuling Pass, Mo Kun was looking at the secret report from Xiyue, and when he learned that Lu Mu had sent troops to the Two Realms Mountain, he secretly laughed at Lu Mu for being too hasty. At this moment, Mo Kun received a tip from Xining City.

Mo Kun stood up suddenly, "What, there was a mutiny in the camp of Zhenlingguan?" ”

"Master Commander, I have received two message broadcasts in a row, and I can confirm the accuracy."

Mo Kun frowned, repeatedly arguing the thoughts in his heart. At this time, if you take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, you can get twice the result with half the effort. However, his Nanping army, like West Vietnam, was drawn into the war early. If you continue to wait, in case the court reinforcement army arrives, and then attack the city, it will cause great losses to the soldiers and horses of Nanping. After weighing it repeatedly, Mo Kun finally made up his mind.

"Come, beat the drum and summon all the generals to come and listen to the order."

Early the next morning, Yan Facheng, who was stationed at Zhenling Pass, was really leaking and raining. Just after suffering a mutiny in the army, he faced the attack of the Nanping army. Looking at the army on the opposite side that was pressing and waiting for battle, Yan Facheng was ruthless and directly made a wise decision~ Block the gate and close the door, and the army withdrew. In this way, the Nanping army took Zhenling Pass bloodlessly and directly occupied Xining City.

A few days later, outside the west gate of the capital city, the figure of the Western Vietnamese army appeared. Looking at the wide-open city gate and the empty city wall, Lu Mu showed a satisfied smile. At this time, outside the East City Gate, Ma Ruzheng, like Lu Mu, led the army to look at the open city gate strangely.

Ma Ruzheng didn't understand why Duan Lang suddenly gave up the city, but he easily took the capital city, which was a great achievement for their court army.

A scout hurriedly ran over from the city, "Commander, except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, there is no one in the city. ”

Ma Ruzheng nodded happily, "Okay!" The forward general Cheng Bao listened to the order, and the commander ordered you to lead 40,000 horses and horses into the city to investigate the truth. This is a lot of tricks, so be careful. ”、

"The last will be ordered." Cheng Bao agreed, and ordered 40,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the city.

Outside the West City Gate, Lu Mu was also cautious and cautious, sending forward soldiers and horses into the city to investigate the truth. The two forward battalions met in the city, and the generals of the two sides couldn't help but be stunned. When the court army saw the soldiers and horses of the West Vietnamese, they couldn't believe their eyes. And the soldiers and horses of the West Vietnam did not expect to meet soldiers and horses holding the flag of the court in the city. But after being stunned for a moment, the two sides suddenly fought together. When the two armies met, the brave won, and finally entered the capital city, and no one wanted to let them out.

On the southern city wall of the capital city, Duan Lang led more than 200 people, and when he heard the sound of fighting in the city, Duan Lang couldn't help but show a knowing smile.

"Come on, put the ropes, and get out of the city." Duan Lang gave an order, and the ropes were thrown down one by one. War horses were prepared under the city wall, and Duan Lang led the group of people to chase after the large army on war horses.

On the way to Dingluo County, Zhang Ruming's hoarse voice boasted about the glorious achievements of these days. Li Jianshan and Tangtai Mingyue rode side by side, and when he learned of Tangtai Mingyue's arrangement, Li Jianshan understood what the gift to Lu Mu was.

"Mingyue, I really don't know what kind of blessing Duan Lang has cultivated in this kid's life, and he snatched you up. Otherwise, I really don't know what will become of it all these years. Li Jianshan said with emotion.

Yutai Mingyue smiled silently, but looked behind the army. She was waiting for Duan Lang's arrival, and in the following days, the army would have to cross the desert with great difficulty. Being able to pull the West Vietnam into the war at the same time was also a turning point in the war for the soldiers and horses of Lidu City.

Outside the east gate of Lidu City, Ma Ruzheng learned that he had encountered the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses seizing the city in the city, and he was shocked and immediately ordered the left and right cavalry battalions to go to support. Outside the West City Gate, Lu Mu also got the news, and in desperation, he could only forcibly seize the city by Zeng Bing. After all, taking the capital city of Lidu is something that neither of the two armies can afford to lose. But Lu Mu knew that this kind of encounter in the city would cause very large losses.

"Duan Lang ~ Tangtai Mingyue, you two suffered a thousand knives, I Lu Mu will definitely repay this debt twice."

Lu Mu gritted his teeth and cursed, and now, he understood that he was being used as a shield by Duan Lang. used his Xiyue army to fight the main force of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the side of the capital city became a spectator who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.
