But the words of blessing and misfortune are really not a lie, the wind of victory in Nanyang City has not been blowing for long, and the dark clouds of the Shu army are drifting again.

"General, the five thousand people of the Shu army have already passed through Nanjiazhuang, and at most one hour, they will be able to reach Nanyang City!"

The sentry cavalry came to report that although Wu Zheng had the support of his previous victory, the Shu army was strong, and he really didn't dare to be careless.

"Probe!"

Wu Zheng ordered, the sentry rode away, and Yu Hou Wu was looking at the open field to the south, thinking about how to resist the enemy.

"General Wu, why is you so pale?"

Looking back, Meng Xi came from the direction of the battlements, and he was followed by a large group of soldiers, carrying many bed crossbows.

"Sir, why are you here?"

Wu Zheng got up, walked to the bed crossbow, and looked carefully: "Where did this thing come from?" ”

"Jiang Xu turned it out from the county treasury, and he is in charge of twenty sheets!" Meng Xi looked at the location of the battlements of Nanyang City and said, "If there was such a sharp weapon as a bed crossbow before, how could Wang Ping be arrogant?" ”

"Having said that, the Shu army is at least more than 50,000, and they are all elite soldiers, although our army also has more than 30,000, but the people who have experienced the war are only two percent, Wang Ping is greedy and aggressive, and we have found a leak, and we have defeated it, but the king of Shu has been smart since childhood, and his left and right gentlemen are also capable people, after I assess the situation at this time, I found that the next war will be much more difficult to fight!"

"No matter how hard it is, you have to fight!"

Meng Xi commanded the soldiers to place the bed crossbow in the secret place behind the battlements according to a certain orientation angle, such a sharp weapon, if the Shu army did not know the situation, and attacked halfway, a sudden shot, it would definitely be able to cause huge casualties to the Shu army.

"Mr. Meng, General Wu, see you in the county guard's mansion urgently!"

While the two were talking, the soldiers of the county government rushed to tell each other, Wu Zheng and Meng Xi glanced at each other, not knowing why.

"What's the matter with the county guard?"

"It's not clear, the county guard asks the two of them to hurry over!"

After half a moment's effort, Wu Zheng and Meng Xi hurried to the county guard's mansion, Jiang Xu saw the two of them, and immediately repulsed: "General Wu, Mr. Meng, you come with me!" ”

Looking at Jiang Xu's face, the two of them knew that there was something important, so they didn't say a word, and when the three of them came to the study, Jiang Xu took out a letter.

"General Wu, Mr. Meng, I found it in the back house of my mansion half a moment ago, don't look for who left it!"

Meng Xihu was suspicious, took a closer look, and after three or two breaths, Meng Xi was stunned: "Who is this?" ”

"The official also wonders?" Jiang Xu had a bitter face: "According to the original intention of the letter, there are people from our army in the Shu army, but who has such great ability to hide the Shu army?" So I suspect it's fake, but I can't make up my mind for a while... I'm afraid that others will know, so I can only ask the two of you to discuss! ”

Meng Xi looked at Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng looked at Meng Xi in reverse: "Sir, kill the enemy formation, this can tell you a thing or two, this conspiracy... I really don't dare to assert... But..."

Wu Zheng knew that the Shu army was strong, and in order to be able to win and protect Nanyang, Wu Zheng said: "If it's true... The news in this epistle is very beneficial to our army! ”

"You can't be absolute, but you can't take it lightly!"

After a while, Meng Xi gave these remarks: "Lord Jiang, no matter whether this letter is true or not, whether it is a conspiracy of the Shu army, after the Shu army attacks Nanyang City, there must be follow-up actions, you have to send more people to secretly and secretly investigate the suspicious characters in the city, if that person appears, be sure to capture him!" ”

Xiangcheng, Dongzhen.

Tang Chuanwen and Lin Sheng secretly observed the rumors for only one day, and Ling Tian brought people to the door.

"The distinguished guests of the Bei'an Army, who came here from afar, just succumbed to such a dilapidated small place, it is really against his identity, and Ling Tian is willing to invite the two of them to the suburban manor to rest for a while!"

Ling Tian said bluntly, and Lin Sheng smiled: "Those dog tails are your people, right?" ”

"Of course!" Ling Tian arched his hand: "Here, thank you for the mercy of Shengjun's subordinates, otherwise the victory will be in danger, and those fools will already be killed!" ”

"Haha!" Lin Sheng said with a smile: "General Ling, you have a good memory, and you still know my Lin Sheng's name, but if you are really afraid of the might of the Bei'an Army, why do you still release such rumors and haunt my brother, do you really think that Xiangcheng is far away, can't we find out?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ling Tian respectfully obeyed him, without the slightest disrespect, before coming, He Qing explained that this matter should be resolved privately as much as possible, if the Bei'an Army was annoyed by the county government, I was afraid that there would be some trouble.

But Tang Chuanwen and Lin Sheng came secretly, that is, to take the bottom first, and then exert force, Xiangcheng wanted to smile and pass by, it was simply a pipe dream.

"Wait a minute, you two!"

Ling Tian arched his hand, and immediately reprimanded his life behind him, and went out with him, and after a while, a few prodigal people were picked up and slipped in.

"Lord Changshi, Shengjiang, these trivial prodigals are rumors, they receive money from people, insult General Lin, and immediately send someone to arrest them after they know about it, and now they are handed over to the two of them!"

Looking at a few people on the ground, Lin Sheng smiled, and when Ling Tian thought that this was the end of the matter, Lin Sheng suddenly said coldly: "General Ling, do you really think that a few broken pieces of skin can solve my brother's infamy?" Then you are underestimating the Bei'an Army! ”

"What does it mean to win?"

Ling Tian's face also sank, Tang Chuanwen got up and blocked the two of them, so as not to burst out of anger and face each other.

"General Ling, the rumors are broken, but they are big or small, you look like this and want to make things bigger?" Tang Chuanwen laughed: "Besides, the official family of Xiangcheng is uncertain, I heard that He Du County Shoucai stabilized the situation in Xiangcheng, if something happens at this moment, it will fall into the face of the He family, this responsibility... Are you burdened? Or not? ”

"You..."

Ling Tian is just a military general, in terms of talent and sensitivity, how can he compare to Tang Chuanwen.

The words and edges intersected, Ling Tian was defeated, looking at the appearance of his thoughts and countermeasures, Tang Chuanwen approached and attached his ear: "General Ling, you are only afraid that you are entrusted by your wife at home this time, right?" ”

These words made Ling Tian stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Hmph, what we mean is very simple, this matter is discussed with the county guard alone, and the right to be governed by the civil affairs order within a hundred miles from the south of Linshui County to Beiyao County!"

"It can't be!"

Ling Tian suddenly refused: "Don't think that the Zhucheng Alliance is defeated and the official forces are scattered, you really want to..."

"Listen to me for now!" Tang Chuanwen stopped Ling Tian: "Actually, who let the rumors go?" Who would dare to spread it like that? We know in our hearts that we can't get rid of which daughter-in-law of Hefu! ”

Hearing this, Ling Tian realized that those who dared to love the Bei'an Army had already found out the bottom of the rumors.

"So... Do you think the face of the He family is important, or is it the Xu Xuquan that is important? Think about it before you talk! ”

At this point, Tang Chuanwen and Lin Sheng gave an order to evict guests, Ling Tian didn't dare to make a decision, and turned to leave.

The middle army of the Shu army.

The King of Shu relied on a splendid car, beside him, Ruan Sidao participated in the calculation of the marching strategy, with the idea of the King of Shu, at most in January, he would have troops in Zhongdu, the small Nanyang City, but Er'er, how could he block the Shu army!
