Great Xia is the city of Kong, this dilapidated city, when Mokun besieged Prince Hong, it was purged by Zhao Pingdu's army. The people in the city fled and scattered, and the city, which was already small, became dilapidated. Although Duan Lang later gathered the new troops recruited from various capitals here, because there were no soldiers and horses stationed in this city, he did not gather the surrounding people. Today, the city has once again become a den where the Western Vietnamese army of Nanping is stationed.

In the camp where the Nanping army was located, Zhao Pingdu led the troops to return, which added a lot to the momentum of Nanping's people. However, at this time, Mo Kun's face was gloomy, and he couldn't wring out the water on his face.

In the temporary courtyard of the Nanping Marshal's Mansion in the city, all the generals above 1,000 are gathered here. Mo Kun sat under the porch with a pale face, and the generals were lined up in two columns, and no one dared to pant loudly in a solemn atmosphere.

Not far in front of Mo Kun, Baron Peng Shanhua was tied to a pillar, and his mouth was still stuffed with sackcloth. Peng Shanhua looked at Zhao Pingdu beside Mo Kun with angry eyes, and his mouth whined from time to time, as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction and indignation. He is a hereditary lord, and the in-laws of the Peng family are all over the government and the opposition, Peng Shanhua believes that Mo Kun will not dare to do anything to him. What's more, according to the laws of Nanping, the head of the hereditary title must be sanctioned by the lord of the country.

Mo Kunqi's fingers were trembling slightly, and the 200,000 reinforcements actually made Peng Shanhua squander nearly half of them. Especially when he learned that Zhao Pingdu had seized the military power by extraordinary means, Mo Kun really wanted to slaughter this kid to sacrifice the flag. However, Mo Kun did have some concerns in his heart. The Peng family's in-laws have a huge influence in the country, even if Mo Kun is trusted by the lord of the country, Song Yucheng, it is inconvenient to turn against this kind of family. But without sanctioning Peng Shanhua, Mo Kun would not be able to deter the new reinforcements, let alone convince the original generals.

Peng Shanhua is like a hot potato, which makes Mo Kun a little embarrassed in terms of disposal and arrangement. And the meaning of the lord of the country Mo Kun is very clear, that is, to let this second ancestor be gilded in the flames of war. Although the will did not clearly specify what position to arrange, Mo Kun knew that at least a position of Fu Shuai should be arranged for Peng Shanhua to take over. But now, Mo Kun knew that this guy must not be allowed to have the right to have a soldier in his hands. Otherwise, it will surely ruin his great deeds.

Mo Kun sighed deeply, looked at the generals in the reinforcements, and asked in a deep voice, "This army division asks you, at the beginning of Peng Shanhua's attack on Yixiang City, did you dissuade you?" ”

Bi Weide and the others looked at each other cautiously, and they were silent. In this case, Ying Shoushan knew that it was inconvenient for him to stand up, after all, he couldn't afford to offend the Peng family.

Mo Kun patted the handrail angrily, "Why, such a major war, didn't you even discuss it beforehand!" ”

Bi Weide cautiously glanced at Peng Shanhua tied to the pillar, gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said with his fists clenched.

"Master Strategist, the last general has something to say."

Seeing that there was another one who dared to stand up, Mo Kun nodded slightly, "Say it." ”

Bi Weide clenched his fists and said, "Master Strategist, originally my army went all the way north, and I had no intention of starting a war with Yixiang City. When the army marched to Huilong Bay, it was attacked by an ambush in Yixiang City. The baron asked the last general to lead his troops to meet the attack, but the city of Yixiang was ambushed in advance, and the last general suffered heavy losses. In order to improve the morale of our army and avenge our soldiers, the baron attacked the city of Yixiang in a fit of rage. For this matter, the last general felt that the military master should not blame the baron. ”

Mo Kun sneered, and said in his heart that these bastards still don't know who was beaten so badly in Huilong Bay. After Zhao Pingdu came back and said it, Mo Kun immediately understood that it was Zhou Long's doing. Later, after inquiring about Ying Shoushan in detail, he was more determined to be Mo Kun's judgment. With the fighting ability of Yixiang City, he has not even had the ability to defeat Bi Weide's army without leaving a single corpse.

"Bi Weide, you mean that Peng Shanhua should not be blamed?" Mo Kun asked gloomily.

Bi Weide's heart trembled, and he simply turned his heart sideways, "Yes, I will be outside, and I can make a correct judgment according to the situation." The Baron did this, and although he lost his troops, he was not at fault. ”

"Bastard! 80,000 soldiers and horses were lost in Yixiang City, and they actually said that they were not at fault. Is it in your eyes that the life of my soldier is so lowly! As a general, who is so inconsiderate of his soldiers, who is willing to fight to the death for you. It's no wonder that in Huilong Bay, you Bi Weide will lose his armor if he loses his soldiers. Such thoughts are no longer worthy of being generals. came, deprived General Bi Weide of his post, beat 30 military sticks, and demoted him to a standard commander appointed in the army. Mo Kun said angrily.

When Bi Weide heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "Master Commander, the last general is just stating and implementing, if you do this, the last general will not accept it!" ”

"Humph! didn't cut off your head, this military division is already very gracious. In front of this military division, it is not your turn to accept or disobey. Take it down, and military law will serve. ”

After Mo Kun finished speaking, he immediately rushed past several law enforcement team officers, no matter what Bi Weide said, he just set up and left.

Seeing that Mo Kun dealt with Bi Weide so resolutely, the other generals didn't dare to speak. The generals lowered their heads one by one, and they didn't even dare to look at Mo Kun.

Mo Kun glared at everyone angrily, "In such a major battle, no general stood up to stop it. After the discussion, all the generals in the reinforcements received thirty sticks each. You ~ have complaints. ”

Ying Shoushan did not argue, he knew that at this moment, he should be punished with the generals of the reinforcements. Otherwise, he will be excluded from the crowd in the future. Ying Shoushan took the initiative to step forward and said with his fists clenched.

"The last general~ is willing to be punished."

After Ying Shoushan finished speaking, the other generals also hurriedly responded, and none of them dared to say that they had complaints.

Mo Kun glanced at Ying Shoushan, and said in his heart that this person can be so calm and forbearing, it seems that among the reinforcements, there is a rare talent.

"Since you are willing to be punished, you wait to step aside. Someone, bring Peng Shanhua to me. ”

After Mo Kun finished speaking, several guards quickly ran over and untied Peng Shanhua from the pillar and brought him over. The sackcloth on Peng Shanhua's mouth was removed, and he gasped.

Mo Kun asked, "Peng Shanhua, are you guilty?" ”

"Humph!" Peng Shanhua sneered, did not answer Mo Kun's question, but glared at Zhao Pingdu angrily, "The surname Zhao, beat the Shangguan before the battle to seize the military power, this account is not over with you!" ”

Zhao Pingdu was furious in his heart, and was about to scold a few words, but Mo Kun took the lead and said angrily, "Bastard, do you know what kind of place this is, and you dare to be arrogant in front of this military division." Come on, slap your mouth! ”

"You dare!" Peng Shanhua said in his heart that it would be shameful enough to tie Lao Tzu to a pillar, and he dared to slap his mouth? Lao Tzu fought with you today, see what you can do with me.

Peng Shanhua was tough-mouthed, but the law enforcement officers didn't care who he was, and suddenly two guards walked up and opened their bows to Peng Shanhua left and right. Hu Tianzhuang, Fang Sicheng and other generals were overjoyed, for this kind of second ancestor, these generals simply looked down on them. But the generals of the reinforcements were frightened one by one. Only then did they understand that the emotional military master had no scruples and anyone dared to fight.

Peng Shanhua had blood stains on the corners of his mouth, but he looked at Mo Kun with a sneer, "Okay, okay, remember this debt, don't think that you are a close minister favored by His Majesty, and I, Peng Shanhua, am afraid of you." Mo Kun, if you have the ability, you will kill me, otherwise we will see. Hundreds of thousands of troops were lost to you in Great Xia, don't think that you can escape the sanctions. My Peng family has no other skills, and I will unite with the ministers of the court and the central government to pull you down from the position of military advisor, and I still have this ability. ”

Peng Shanhua's threatening words not only made Mo Kun angry, but also angered the generals of the original battalion. They were not afraid of life and death battles in Great Xia, but they didn't expect a second ancestor in China to dare to be so aggressive. This group of generals who were born and died are not those civil servants in the court, they don't care what title you are.

Hu Tianzhuang, who has an upright personality, was the first to stand up, "Master Strategist, kill this bastard, I'm so angry~!" ”

Fang Sicheng, Wang Fujian and other generals scolded angrily, and even Zhao Pingdu was angry, his face turned pale, and he couldn't wait to step forward and chop this second ancestor with a knife.

Peng Shanhua sneered disdainfully, "Hmph, I, Peng Shanhua, am a hereditary baron, even if he has the courage, he doesn't have this right." It's a big deal to escort Lao Tzu back to China, I want to see if Your Majesty will investigate Zhao Pingdu's mistake in sabotaging and taking the Yixiang City, or punish me Peng Shanhua. ”

Mo Kun felt a chill in his heart, and when Peng Shanhua said this, Mo Kun knew that he had no way out. If you don't kill Peng Shanhua today, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers. As a dignified Nanping military division, if you can't even protect your subordinates, who is willing to die for you. This is a big taboo if the army is unstable, let alone against the enemy, I am afraid that my own people may secretly carry out black hands.

Mo Kun calmed down from his anger, looked at the arrogant Peng Shanhua and said, "Peng Shanhua, as a general of the reinforcements, nearly half of the 200,000 troops have lost, you are guilty!" ”

"Hmph, what a crime. Lord Ben attacked Yixiang City, and was destroyed by Zhao Pingdu when he was about to take it, I don't have to take this responsibility. Peng Shanhua still defended strongly.

Under the angry eyes of everyone, Mo Kun continued to ask, "As the chief general of the reinforcements, he led his troops to conduct large-scale battles without authorization. You can be guilty of making the wrong decision without asking for advice. ”

"Hehe, joke, I'm the commander of the reinforcements, of course I have the right to decide. The general is outside, and the king's order can not be accepted, not to mention that this lord is to avenge the soldiers. Peng Shanhua said arrogantly.

Mo Kun nodded, "These two sins are already unforgivable, not to mention that my eighty thousand sons were damaged by your bastard behavior." Here, this military division will add another article to you, threatening the senior general in the army and flouting the laws and regulations of the country. Peng Shanhua, do you have anything to say? ”

Peng Shanhua was stunned, "Hmph, this is your territory, it's all up to you." When we return to China, let's see who is guilty of the most crimes. ”

"Back home? Hmph, no need. Mo Kun said indifferently.

"Why, you still dare to kill me? Mokun, don't forget who I am. ”

Mo Kun sneered, "Of course this military division has not forgotten your identity, but maybe you, Peng Shanhua, have forgotten what your identity is as this military division." This is Great Xia, which is at the forefront of the war. If I don't kill you today, my army will be sorry for the 80,000 soldiers who died, and even more sorry for the generals who fought bloodily. Come on, put Peng Shanhua down for me, and be beheaded by military justice. The head is hung high to warn the generals. ”

"You~You dare~, Mokun, you are openly challenging the imperial power."

"Pull it down~ slash everywhere!"

"Spare your life~, Master Strategist's life~ I don't dare~ Spare your life~!" Peng Shanhua was so frightened that his pants peed, he never expected that Mo Kun would disregard Nanping's national law and behead him on the spot.

The law enforcement team was already angry, and dragged Peng Shanhua out without saying a word. Hu Tianzhuang and the others all applauded, but the generals and officers of the reinforcements trembled with fright.

Zhao Pingdu looked at Mo Kun in surprise, and while he was shocked, he couldn't help but feel that his eyes were red. He knew that the consequences of Mo Kun's doing this were very serious, but if he didn't do it, they would be the ones who were unlucky. even said that in order to balance the relationship, the lord of the country could only use him Zhao Pingdu as a scapegoat.

Mo Kun killed Peng Shanhua with his spicy hand, which not only shocked the soldiers in Nanping, but also shocked Lu Mu after the news was transmitted to Lu Mu's side. Although Lu Mu is not an important minister of Nanping Kingdom, he also knows some things about Nanping Kingdom. Mo Kun dared to confront such a family head-on, it can only be said that Mo Kun is planning to fight against the water, and he must fight the battle of Great Xia well. Otherwise, he will be impeached when he returns home.

Lu Mu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Mo Kun, such a wise man was powerful, and he actually had to act cautiously. It seems that the whole world is still the most enlightened of their Xiyue lords. In terms of the powers of the monarch and the ministers and the checks and balances between the ministers, it can be said that the lord of Xiyue handled it most appropriately.

Lu Mu didn't bother Mo Kun, Nanping reinforcements arrived, and Lu Mu also had to start implementing the next plan. Since the reinforcements from Nanping had just arrived, Lu Mu and Mo Kun rested for two days, and then the two sides began to march into Molan City.

The two armies joined forces, and Lu Mu and Mo Kun simply rode in the same car. In the process, there are also things that are easy to discuss. At least, the two armies had no intention of separating until they reached the city of Melan.

The allied army of Nanping and the West and Vietnam marched for two days, and there were no big cities along the way, and those county towns fled early when they learned that the foreign army had arrived.

In the middle of the car, Lu Mu looked at Mo Kun and asked, "Mr. Mo, the scouts sent out in advance, do you have any news of Molan City here?" ”

Mo Kun frowned, "I was about to ask you too, it's very strange, news has come from several other cities, and there is no movement at all in Molan City." ”

Lu Mu sighed slightly, "It seems that Molan City is indeed Duan Lang's extremely important confidant. It can even be said that the status of Molan City in Duan Lang's heart can definitely be compared with Lidu City. If we had judged this earlier, we wouldn't have lost so many soldiers and horses. ”

"What, there's news from your people?" Mo Kun asked.

Lu Mu shook his head, "It is precisely because the scouts sent by you and I have all been lost in the sea that I can confirm this matter." I had some contact with that Duan Lang in Lidu City, and this man looked brave and unintelligent on the surface, but he had the vigilance of a beast. Moreover, Duan Lang is good at making friends, and his generals are very desperate. The most important thing is that he also has the Tantai demon girl by his side to assist. This woman is terrifying, she should have a large intelligence organization in her hands. I suspect that this demon girl has moved Beiming's intelligence system. On the side of Melan City, if it is their intelligence hub, it is not surprising that our scouts will disappear. After all, scouts are good at military reconnaissance, not good at lurking in the city. It was inevitable that they would be cleaned up by their spies. ”

Mo Kun nodded slightly, "This Lang and the Tantai Demon Maiden do have some means, one can fight well, the other is cunning and wise, it is really a match made in heaven." In other words, Duan Lang left behind before the war with us, and established a secret agency like the Great Xia Detective Division. Of course, he was targeting the Great Xia Emperor, not you and me. If such a secret agency were to be set up in Melan City, it would be difficult for the scouts in the army to escape their detection. The big war is imminent, and the sudden extra outsiders will definitely be listed as the focus. Rather kill by mistake, they will not let it go. ”

"Mr. Mo, in this way, that section of Lang will definitely be rescued. As long as we use Melan City as bait, we don't have to worry about Duan Lang not taking the bait. Knowing that it is a trap, I'm afraid he will have to jump into the trap. ”

"Brother Lu, it can't be said that this is a trap. can only say that he forced Duan Lang to fight to the death with you and me. This battle must be extremely dangerous, and you and I must be of the same heart to win. Otherwise, after this battle, we may all lose in Great Xia. Mo Kun said solemnly.

Lu Mu nodded, "Mr. Mo, I also have this intention." Before the big war, we must talk ugly things ahead. No matter which side it is, it can't think about preserving its strength. Lu can swear to the sky that he will definitely regard the Nanping soldiers as his brothers. Even if you fight to the last man, you will never retreat. ”

"Okay, I, Mo Kun, also swear to the gods that whenever the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses have a request, my Nanping army will definitely arrive. If there is a violation of the word, heaven and earth will not tolerate it. ”

After Mo Kun finished speaking, the two looked at each other and hugged their fists. Before the big war, there are things they have to say in front. In particular, if the two armies join forces in a joint operation, once the fighter plane is delayed, it may lead to the annihilation of the entire army. Whether the opponent will go all out or not is the key to victory or defeat.

While the two were talking, a captain of Nanping hurriedly rode over. Coming to the front of the car, the captain said with his fists clenched.

"Master Qiqi, I just received the news of the scouts in the rear. Found in the direction of the Elephant City, a large army rushed in the direction of our army. According to the scouts, there were about 70,000 soldiers. Judging from the handsome banner, it should be Sun Gang who personally led the troops. ”

"Mega Elephant City?" Mo Kun was stunned for a moment, "Are the scouts sure it's Yixiang City, not Duan Lang's soldiers and horses?" ”

"Judging from the battle armor and battle flags, there are some of Duan Lang's soldiers and horses."

Lu Mu said in surprise, "I didn't expect Deguang of Yixiang City to actually lean on Duan Lang." It seems that Zhou Long's department was among them. ”

Mo Kun nodded, "There are only seventy or eighty thousand troops, and the combat effectiveness is uneven, so there is no need to worry." ”

"Yes, they must be trying to slow down our troops. Ignore it and move on. As long as the other person dares to approach, it is not bad to eat this hors d'oeuvres first. Lu Mu said lightly.

Mo Kun nodded and said to the captain, "Continue to send scouts to control all the way and keep track of the movements of this army at any time." ”

"No!" The lieutenant agreed, and rode his horse and ran to the back of the group.

Lu Mu said with a smile, "Na Deguang ascended the throne in Yixiang City, and he actually came together with the traitors of Great Xia. It seems that in order to contain the speed of our movement, Duan Ang should have promised something. Otherwise, that kid from Deguang would never take the initiative to send troops. ”

"Hehe, these two emperors of Great Xia have simply lost the face of their ancestors. If Prince Hong is alive, Yixiang City needs special care. As soon as Prince Hong Zhao Shiyu left, there was a group of rabble. As long as Duan Lang is destroyed, I'm afraid that there is no need to fight, and Deguang will take the initiative to surrender. ”

"Delong is the same, next time, it will not be as simple as ceding land and paying compensation. When the time comes, you and I will drink and talk happily and slowly share this meal. ”

While the two were talking, another lieutenant came to report. This time, it was the personnel of Xiyue Lu Mu.

"Lord Kaiyu, news has come from the scouts in Kyoto. Delong, for his part, has sent 50,000 troops and is coming in the direction we are going. It is about three days away from our army. The commander of the army is Chu Ti, the squire of the Great Xia Army. ”

"What, that kid from Delong actually came out too?"

Lu Mu and Mo Kun looked at each other, and the two felt a little unbelievable. The two emperors of Great Xia, who were as bold as rats, actually sent soldiers and horses at the same time, which was really unexpected by the two of them. Unexpectedly, Duan Lang hadn't taken the bait yet, and actually led out two small fish.
