In the camp of Xiangjun, Duan Lang didn't expect that as soon as he received a secret report from Sun Gang, Fan Jiachang took the initiative to send it to the door. This is really a way in heaven that you don't take, and a hell that you don't have a door to break into. Now that you're here, don't think about leaving alive.

"Come on, call Zhou Hu." Duan Lang commanded.

"Wait!" Yutai Mingyue hurriedly shouted to the guards, "Lang, what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can you do, of course it's to kill Fan Jiachang, the bastard." Duan Lang said coldly.

"You can't do this, Lang, you have to calm down, now you are not the time when you crossed the desert with 30,000 soldiers and horses. Your every move is related to the fate of the entire army of the capital city. It is very easy to kill a Fan Jiachang, but at the moment of the great enemy, if you kill the boss of Yixiang City, what will you explain to the people of the world? At that time, the people of the world will say that our capital city is fighting against foreign invaders, and it is simply for our own selfishness. Lang, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and there are only 70,000 rabble, and it will not be a problem to destroy them at all. Yutai Mingyue persuaded.

Duan Lang insisted and said, "Yue'er, kill Fan Jiachang now, his army will be leaderless, and it only takes 30,000 cavalry and two sprints to end the battle." If we only care about the public opinion of the world, how much more will our brothers pay with their lives at that time. Yue'er, as long as there is morality in my heart, I don't care what people in the world think. Even if they bear the infamy, they can't let the brothers shed their blood and die in vain. ”

Tantai Mingyue frowned slightly, and persuaded softly, "Lang, let's just listen to Chen Qi's words now, there are some things that must be handled calmly." In addition, even if Deguang really colludes with Mokun Lu Mu secretly, we can also use our strength to use this matter to maximize the effect. It was not difficult to destroy Fan Jiachang's troops, but it was not easy to completely defeat the Mokun Lu Mu coalition army. Even if we didn't receive Sun Gang's secret report, we were kept in the dark, didn't we still send Zhou Wu soldiers and horses to guard against it. Now that you know their true intentions, why not take this opportunity to set a trap and trap Lu Mu Mokun as well. ”

Duan Lang looked directly at Yutai Mingyue, "Yue'er, I think that being a person and doing things depends on conscience. If you're trying to take into account the opinions of the world, I don't think so. Of course, what you say makes sense. But Fan Jiachang has 70,000 troops after all, and if he really strikes a blow in the decisive battle, our price will definitely be very heavy. Even if there is Zhou Wu's ambush army, then why not destroy them first and let Zhou Wu directly join our decisive battle. ”

"Lang, the art of war, is also a trick. Now that we have destroyed Fan Jiachang's department, it will inevitably cause astonishment and suspicion among the people of the world. The most important thing is that Mo Kun Lu Mu has lost this chess piece, and they may launch an offensive in advance. No matter how weak the 70,000 army is, destroying them will probably damage 10,000 troops. It is better to keep this chess piece to confuse the other party, and after the arrival of Zhou Wu's army, it will play its greatest role. Yutai Mingyue persuaded bitterly.

"Yue'er, are you really not interceding for him for the sake of everyone in the world?" Duan Lang asked.

"Lang, believe me, in Yue'er's eyes, the public opinion of the world is not as important as the lives of our brothers. What's more, you and I have to take the lead in this decisive battle, and Yue'er will not joke with her husband's life. Yutai Mingyue said firmly.

Duan Lang nodded and sighed slightly, "Okay, then keep him for a few more days." Yue'er, don't blame me for being angry, Na Deguang's behavior has crossed everyone's bottom line. Although the two of us have differences, I believe that my Yue'er will not take the lives of my brothers lightly. However, you don't have any burden, I will fight all the consequences. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded, she didn't blame Duan Lang for her urgency, this kind of thing was really infuriating, even if she herself had the urge to kill.

"Husband, you can't go to see Fan Jiachang with this face, it's easy to make mistakes. Otherwise, say that you have gone out of the camp to patrol, and I will receive you. ”

"Okay, when I saw this guy, I couldn't help but really kill him for a while." Duan Lang gritted his teeth and forcibly held back the anger in his heart.

"Lang, you go and arrange Master Han Feng. Also, don't publicize this matter for the time being. Especially Zhang Ruming, Zhou Wu must not let him know about this before he arrives. His broken mouth, once he knows that Deguang betrayed Great Xia, I'm afraid even the guy in the stove room will know. ”

Duan Lang smiled bitterly, he understood that Tantai Mingyue was right. Now no one dares to guarantee whether there are any undercover agents in the camp, if Zhang Ruming really learns about this, it is equivalent to the whole battalion has been notified. In case the news leaks out, it is very detrimental to the next layout. After the two finished discussing, Tantai Mingyue walked to the front camp with a few personal soldiers. Before leaving, she specially invited Yan Facheng to receive Fan Jiachang with her.

Outside the camp, Fan Jiachang has been waiting for a long time. Seeing that no one came out to greet him for a long time, Fan Jiachang's face was a little unbearable. No matter how you say it, he is also the orthodox generalissimo of Great Xia, and he has not come out to greet him for so long, and he is a little contemptuous. Just when Fan Jiachang was hesitating, the gate of the camp opened left and right, and Mingyue walked out with the old general Yan Facheng.

"I don't know if Lord Fan suddenly visited, and I missed the distance, and I still hope that Lord Fan Haihan." Mingyue smiled and bowed her head gently to apologize.

Fan Jiachang laughed, "It's okay, it's okay, it's also a whim, so I came to visit." In addition, I also want to see the mighty division of our capital city. ”

After Fan Jiachang finished speaking, he hugged his fists at Yan Facheng and said a greeting. Don't look at Fan Jiachang now following Deguang to become a popular man in front of the monarch, but in the face of Yan Facheng, the commander of the big battalion during the period of Emperor Yuning, he didn't dare to make a mistake. When Yan Facheng was the commander of the camp in Kyoto, even Prince Hong respected him very much after seeing him, let alone Fan Jiachang.

"Master Fan, please, let's talk in the camp." Yutai Mingyue welcomed Fan Jiachang into the camp.

Tangtai Mingyue did not take Fan Jiachang to Xiangxian County, but received him in the front camp of the Chinese army.

"I don't know if Lord Fan suddenly visited, is there something important?" Yutai Mingyue asked.

Fan Jiachang pretended to be worried, "Mingyue Military Division, my army has been here for three days, I don't know when I will fight Mokun Lu Mu?" Will the soldiers attack the city directly, or will the two sides start a decisive battle? We didn't have much grain and grass with us, so we came to discuss with General Duan. By the way, I don't know if General Duan is here? ”

Fan Jiachang never saw Duan Lang, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. Don't look at the prestige of Tangtai Mingyue, but Fan Jiachang, as the commander of the First Army, at least has to be received by Duan Lang. Besides, now that the two sides are friendly forces, even if you Duan Lang looks down on the soldiers and horses of Yixiang City, you have to do something superficial.

Without waiting for Mingyue to speak, Yan Facheng said loudly, "My Duan Shuai went out of the camp to inspect, the big war is coming, Duan Shuai wants to find out the situation of every inch of land." If there is anything to do with Lord Fan, our military master can completely call the shots. ”

Fan Jiachang was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm also a big name of General Duan for a long time, and I want to take this opportunity to visit." Since General Duan is not in the camp, it is the same to discuss with Mingyue Military Division. ”

Tantai Mingyue smiled, "Lord Fan, my husband has already sent a war letter to Mokun Lu Mu, and it has been agreed that after twenty days, a decisive battle will be fought in the middle of Molan City and Xiangxiang County. I originally wanted to inform Master Fan about this matter in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come in person. ”

"Mingyue Military Division, since my army has arrived, the sooner the decisive battle date, the better, why is it delayed for so long?" Fan Jiachang asked with a frown.

"This~." Yutai Mingyue deliberately hesitated.

Fan Jiachang looked at it and hurriedly said, "Mingyue Military Division, we are friendly forces, you should tell the truth if you have any battle plans." There is no other meaning in the following, but I am afraid that in case of deviation, it will lead to serious consequences. Of course, if there is any inconvenience, just leave it alone. ”

Tantai Mingyue smiled faintly, "Actually, it's nothing, the main reason for delaying these days is to wait for General Zhou Long and those wounded soldiers to recover." You must know that this great battle will determine the fate of both sides, and the soldiers and horses of our capital city must go all out. General Zhou Long is the most powerful general in my capital city, and he led 8,000 dead soldiers to block Mo Kun's more than 100,000 reinforcements that day. With General Zhou here, the morale of the army in our capital city can be improved. Therefore, the division decided to delay for 20 days and wait for Zhou Long and all the wounded soldiers to return to the team before starting a decisive battle. ”

When Fan Jiachang heard this, it turned out that he was just waiting for Zhou Long and his wounded soldiers. Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, Zhou Long's record is indeed world-famous. Those wounded soldiers are veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. In this way, this period of Lang and Tangtai Mingyue have no confidence in this decisive battle. If it weren't for that, even a few thousand wounded soldiers wouldn't have taken it so seriously.

"In that case, you can wait a few days. But I don't know if the Mingyue military division has drawn up a detailed battle plan? In addition, since you and I are friendly forces, I hope that we will be honest with each other. In order to be able to cooperate closely, shouldn't we exchange each other's armaments and strategic materials? There are more arrows brought this time, and if your army is short of arrows, we can exchange them. Fan Jiachang pretended to be sincere and said.

Tantai Mingyue sneered in her heart, and said with joy on the surface, "That's great, we're worried about the lack of arrows." Master Fan is right, since they are friendly forces, they must be honest with each other. Whether it is the soldiers and horses of Yixiang City or Lidu City, they are all compatriots of Great Xia, and their blood is thicker than water. Since Lord Fan wants to look at the armament and material status of our army, this must be no problem. Come on, go to Lord Shangguan and ask Commander Azhu to bring back copies of each battalion. Also, bring a copy of the battle plan. ”

Fan Jiachang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly took out the backup copies of each battalion in their army, "Mingyue Military Division, this is the preparation of my army in Yixiang City. The Mingyue Army Division can allocate battle plans according to the proportion of our army's arms. ”

Yutai Mingyue took it, took a slight look and put it next to it. Yan Facheng glanced at Yutai Mingyue suspiciously, he knew that the backups of each battalion were in Duan Lang's handsome tent, how could it be in Azhu's hands. Ah Zhu is the eyes and ears of the entire army, and the backup in her hand must be fake, it seems that Tantai Mingyue doesn't trust this person at all.

Fan Jiachang chatted a few more words, and there were some things that he couldn't ask too carefully, for fear of arousing the suspicion of Yutai Mingyue. As a few people were talking, the guards brought backup copies of the battalions and battle plans.

Fan Jiachang took it and didn't look at it, and hurriedly put it in his arms, "Master Military Division, I have been looking up to the prestige of the capital army for a long time, I don't know if I can let you pay homage to it?" ”

As soon as Yutai Mingyue was about to speak, she heard a voice from outside the tent, "Okay, since Xiao Fan wants to see the lineup of our army, this Heavenly Master will personally accompany you." ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Fan Jiachang's brain suddenly widened. No need to ask, he also knew that the dead fat man was here again. Zhang Ruming walked in with a figure-eight step. Tangtai Mingyue just asked the pro-soldiers to find Azhu, and hinted that the pro-soldiers asked Zhang Ruming to come over. Fan Jiachang had a purpose, and of course Tangtai Mingyue couldn't let him visit the camp. But it was inconvenient for Tantai Mingyue to refuse, and this matter could only be asked by Zhang Ruming to come forward.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw that Zhang Ruming was going to accompany him to visit the camp, Fan Jiachang suddenly lost this thought. If the two were alone, Fan Jiachang was afraid that he would not be able to bear to strangle the dead bald head to death. He also called a 'little fan', and if he didn't know, he thought he was selling vegetables on the street.

"This~ I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with in the army, so I won't bother the military master today. I will come to visit General Duan Lang in a few days. ”

Fan Jiachang had already obtained copies of the equipment of each battalion, and had figured out the true intention of delaying time, and he didn't want to stay any longer. If the dead fat man's broken mouth really accidentally spit out an ivory, he was afraid that he would blow up his lungs.

Tangtai Mingyue did not stay, and asked Yan Facheng to send Fan Jiachang out of the camp. Zhang Ruming scratched his head and asked strangely.

"What is this kid doing here?"

"Touching our situation, it's bad intentions anyway." Tantai Mingyue said lightly.

"Grandma, thanks to his fast running, this kid dares to follow and observe the camp, Lao Tzu has to find an opportunity to let the guards beat him."

Tantai Mingyue smiled, she believed that Zhang Ruming was really capable of this kind of thing. Anyway, it's not a death beating, and a beating is a white beating.

Tantai Mingyue returned to the county, and she specially issued a gag order about the news of Deguang's betrayal of Great Xia. Han Feng was already waiting in Duan Lang's room, and Han Feng was also very angry when he heard the news. The dignified king of a country actually betrayed his compatriots and colluded with foreign enemies, which has exceeded everyone's bottom line. If there is really real evidence, the foundation of the Zhao family's royal family will be completely cut off.

Han Feng took more than a dozen shadow artists and returned to Yixiang City with Chen Qi. Tantai Mingyue knew that Sun Gang could only investigate in secret, and this kind of thing was best handled by Han Feng. When the time comes, directly take the witnesses out of the city, and you can fully reveal the actual situation of their contact. As for Fan Jiachang's side, Tai Mingyue also began to formulate a secret plan.

Time passed day by day. There were still three days before the agreed day of the decisive battle, and news came from Dafei that Zhou Wu's army was about to enter the territory of Xiangjun.

When Yutai Mingyue learned of Zhou Wu's arrival, she said happily, "Lang, let Da Fei inform Zhou Wu to move in the direction of Gansheng City in the southeast, there is a dense forest fifteen miles away from the camp of Yixiang City, and he is secretly stationed there. Also, have the scout battalion send things over. ”

Duan Lang shook his head and said, "No, I'll send it over personally." From now on, this place will be handed over to you, and I will always follow Zhou Wu's soldiers and horses. Yue'er, everything is going according to plan, let's meet on the day of the decisive battle. ”

Tantai Mingyue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but you must make sure to bring all the eighteen guards with you." You must be careful on your side, in order to prevent the news from leaking, I will announce the detailed plan to everyone the day before the decisive battle, and let Zhou Hu cooperate with you when the time comes. ”

"Well, on the day of the decisive battle, Da Fei's three long whistles mean that my side has succeeded."

Tantai Mingyue hugged Duan Lang uneasily, the big war is coming, and this time the plan is to prevent leaks, only the two of them know. With the lessons learned from the last leak, Yutai Mingyue did not dare to make any mistakes before the decisive battle.

Duan Lang left the camp in a hurry with three carts. He did not inform any generals of his departure this time, but although the generals had doubts in their hearts, no one asked. Even Zhang Ruming was surprisingly calm this time.

The two days passed quickly, and tomorrow was the time for the decisive battle. Whether it was Molan City or the camp of Yixiang City, they all began to prepare nervously. This is a big battle of life and death, and no matter which side it is, it cannot afford to lose.

In the evening of the same day, Shenshi, Tai Mingyue convened the generals to discuss the matter. In the tent, all the generals gathered. After a while, Yutai Mingyue and Azhu walked in. Zhang Ruming, who was boasting, gave up the main seat to Tantai Mingyue very obediently.

"Mingyue, what about Duan Lang's kid, there will be a big battle tomorrow, where did this guy go?" Zhang Ruming asked.

This topic is also the focus of the generals' concern. After all, Duan Lang, who is the head coach, has been missing for two days.

Tantai Mingyue looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Everyone, in fact, the real war has started two days ago. In order to prevent leaks, we will not notify you until now. However, the specific plan will not be announced until tonight. It's not that Mingyue doesn't trust you, but with the lessons learned from the last time, let's be careful. After all, this war is about the life and death of our army. ”

The generals looked at each other, Zhang Ruming thought for a while, and said, "I agree, although everyone is their own person, no one dares to guarantee whether there are undercover agents in their respective battalions." Since Mingyue Military Master said so, there must be her intentions. ”

"Yes, we will follow the orders of the military master." Zhou Long also said.

Tantai Mingyue looked at the generals and nodded, "Okay, now this army division will issue the first military order." Zhou Hu listens to orders! ”

"Mo will be!" Zhou Hu stood up excitedly.

Yutai Mingyue drew out an arrow, "The division of this army ordered you to lead 10,000 cavalry from the headquarters and follow Azhu out of the camp immediately." What the specific arrangement, follow Azhu's instructions. ”

Zhou Hu was stunned for a moment, looked at the fourth sister Azhu, nodded and said, "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

When Zhang Ruming heard that the first military order was his wife commanding Zhou Hu, he couldn't help but look at everyone proudly. All the generals were waiting for the second order of Tangtai Mingyue, but they found that she actually picked up the tea cup and leisurely tasted tea there.

Zhou Hu rushed out of the camp with 10,000 cavalry, and the direction they went was the location between the camp of Molan City and the Hundred Thousand Elephant City. The purpose of Ah Zhu's trip is to completely cut off all connections between Molan City and the camp of Yixiang City with his second brother Zhou Hu.

At this time, in the dense forest fifteen miles away from the camp of the Hundred Thousand Elephant City, Duan Lang stared at the bright moon in the sky with deep eyes. Everyone in the dense forest changed into the standard armor of the Nanping battalion, and at first glance they thought that the Nanping army was ambushing here.

"The time is up, Zhou Wu, gather men and horses, and go on the expedition!"

Duan Lang gave an order, and the guards who were resting in place quickly assembled. In the darkness, no noise could be heard, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth to minimize the noise.

Under the moonlit night, 20,000 cavalry began to march towards the camp of Yixiang City. Duan Lang pressed his speed and did not sprint with all his might. Their task tonight is to kill Fan Jiachang and destroy the army of Hundred Thousand Elephant City. By the time of tomorrow's decisive battle, this army of Hundred Thousand Elephant City will no longer be the original soldiers and horses. No matter what arrangements Mokun Lu Mu makes, what awaits them will be bad news.
