Encourage the troops and horses, and get ready to go.

Eight thousand people is not a small number, and one more moment of stay will be more dangerous. During the day, Chu Tianya could only pull the men and horses back and hide in the Yellow Dragon Valley. A few feet of ice can freeze people to death. It is also a pity that these soldiers are elites who can endure hardships and endure cold, and even the horses are used to the severe cold of the north. Otherwise, it is more than half of the loss before the battle.

On that day, Chu Tianya didn't care about sleeping, so he first called Xuanwu and Gou Chen, the two top Qingwei, and discussed with them carefully for more than an hour.

Then, the pair set off. The goal is really set!

Their tasks were twofold: first, to find out the location of the soldiers and horses and the grain and grass treasury; Second, take off the head of the real defender and set fire to the city!

8,000 soldiers and horses is a lot, but in order to take the city with the fastest speed and the smallest casualties, you cannot use the traditional frontal attack method. Once the war starts, nearby Jurchen soldiers and horses will come to help at any time; As soon as the city is passed, no matter how elite these cavalry of Chu Tianya are, they have no wings, how can they take Zhending without siege equipment?

Therefore, this kind of "stealing chickens and touching dogs" style of play can only be used. Behead the enemy first, and then hit the black hand!

Chu Tianya sent Liuhe out again, and brought a team of scouts to ambush on the road, answering the two at any time and quickly transmitting the news. Battlefield information changes in an instant, and there is no room for mistakes.

After the assignment was completed, Chu Tianya was already sleepy, and he fell asleep with a military blanket in his arms, snoring loudly.

The accompanying Qingwei brought out by Chu Tianya were all sent out. Except for the three people who had just gone out, the beetle snake escorted Yao Gu to Taiyuan, and asked him to send peace to Xiao Linglong by the way. Tang Ang and Anu went to count the men and horses for the final pre-battle preparations, and Chu Tianya's tent was without Qingwei and general guards.

Jiao Wentong carried his horn bow and stood at the door of Chu Tianya's military tent like a god.

All the sergeants were shocked!

The arrogant Jiao Wentong has become a front official!

At this moment, on Xiaocang Mountain.

Xiao Linglong took a few female soldiers and came to the front of the military camp.

Bai Xu's guards stopped him from entering, this kind of thing, Xiao Linglong had never encountered before.

Xiao Linglong knew that Bai Xu had some opinions about him. She said to the sergeant: "Please go to the military division, just say that the leader Xiao Linglong has an important military situation report!" ”

The sergeant hesitated, "County Lord, please don't embarrass the villain. The military advisor worked all night before he fell asleep, and no one could see him. ”

"Then I'll wait." Xiao Linglong didn't say much, just stood outside the camp and waited.

Ice and snow, splashing water into ice. I waited for more than an hour.

At this time, He Bo came out of it. Xiao Linglong saw him, her eyes lit up, "Old man! ”

He Bo beckoned to her and walked to a secluded place.

"What are you doing here?" He Bo asked.

Xiao Linglong said, "I'll explain it to him." ”

"Is it necessary?" He said, "What can be explained clearly does not need to be explained; If you can't explain it clearly, it's useless for you to explain it. ”

"I just want to sue him, this is my idea, not the meaning of Tianya." Xiao Linglong said, "It doesn't matter if he hates me, but there can't be a rift between the lord and the military advisor." ”

"Confused." He Bo scolded, "You think if you don't say it, he won't know?" It's okay if you don't say it. As soon as you say it, he is even more depressed! ”

"Why?"

"Why do you say?" Uncle He's old brows furrowed, "He risked his life to live and die with the lord, it is better for you to blow a few mouthfuls of pillow wind, what do you think he will think?" ”

Xiao Linglong was stunned, "Then I, did I do something wrong?" ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, you just didn't do it right." He Bo said, "A scholar like Bai Xu is already arrogant and self-conscious, and his heart is higher than the sky, and he finally met a master who made him do his best, but he encountered such a trust setback, and the loss and sadness in his heart are not understandable to others." Originally, he abandoned Qixingzhai and Guanshan Jiao Wentong to join Qingyun Castle, and he was already under a lot of psychological pressure - loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, and for scholars, it is a dogma that cannot be broken and tightly tied to the head, but he broke it. Do you know how much courage it takes? ”

"I know this time, I hurt him." Xiao Linglong's face was also a little embarrassed, "But I don't know, how can I make up for it?" …… Speaking from my heart, Tianya is my man, Bai Xu is my fourth brother, and in my eyes they are all my relatives. But if I have to make a choice, I can only choose the end of the world! ”

"So I said, you're not doing anything wrong." He Bo sighed lightly, "Sandwiched between these talents and heroes, the most difficult one is you." Originally, you were the county lord of the Liao Kingdom, and one of the leaders of Qixingzhai, and now you have become the lord's woman. Too many ties make you in a dilemma. No matter what you do, you always have to hurt one side. Therefore, the most important way you should do things is to be subtle and tactful. Not only can't you offend people yourself, but you can't indirectly let the young master hurt the hearts of your subordinates. This time, you're too sharp. Everyone knows that Meng De was invited by you—perhaps you think that if you do things so openly, you will make everyone transfer their resentment to you, and not anger the lord. But have you ever thought about it, if our lord is like this, it is up to a woman to bear the notoriety...... What should my brothers think? ”

Xiao Linglong was stunned suddenly, "Then I'm harming the world?" ”

"It's hard, it's hard. No one can be truly sophisticated. Your name is Linglong, and you can't do it. He Bo said, "This time, Bai Xu was injured by you." Whether the relationship between him and the lord can return to the way it was before is not up to you and me to decide. It will only be clear after the lord returns. It is imperative that we must not have internal problems - so, you don't go to see Bai Xu! ”

"I'm just going to act like nothing happened?"

"That's all there is to it." He Bo said, "Some things just get darker and darker the more they are depicted. If you leave him there, it may not deteriorate. ”

Xiao Linglong nodded silently and sighed softly, "I'm still too rough and impulsive." ”

"You're already good, don't blame yourself." He Bo said, "No one is born to be omnipotent. At least for now, none of our 100,000 rebels understands the subtleties and stakes of power struggles better than you. Tianya is blessed to have such an internal help as you. But you also have to pay more attention in the future, your identity is very sensitive, you don't go too far to the table to do direct activities - it's really not good, you can find me! My old face has long been shameless, what else do I dare not do? You still have to deal with people, you are not only the future master but also a leader with soldiers, how can you interfere too much in the affairs of the lord? Even if it's interference, you can't be blatant! - Do you think that we are obeying the orders of the lord, or are we obeying the orders of the county lord and a woman? …… Even if he is a pawn, once he thinks of this problem, he will be up and down in his heart. This bit of arrogance in a man's heart, you can't fully pay attention to it now! ”

"I see...... It seems that this time, what I did was really wrong! Xiao Linglong blamed herself.

"Let's go, let's go!" He Bo smiled and waved his hand, "Bai Xu is smarter than you think, and he is not the kind of person who is narrow-minded, he is really busy with military affairs all night and just fell asleep." When the young master was leaving, he ordered me to protect the military advisor, just like protecting the lord. With me here, I can't get down. ”

Xiao Linglong nodded, and her heart was brighter than she had ever been: Am I too smart? In fact, Tianya has already made arrangements. He Bo is by Bai Xu's side, what can he do out of the ordinary? Although He Bo is not even the leader, he is only nominally the leader of the dozen or so people of Qingwei. But in fact, 100,000 people who don't know that he is like the father of the end of the world? …… I'm so confused!

He Bo seemed to have seen through Xiao Linglong's thoughts, and smiled hehehe, "County Lord, don't underestimate Bai Xu too much, let alone underestimate the young master." If it weren't for the dragon and phoenix among people, would they be able to sit in their position today? You'd be a good helper, but not quite. ”

Xiao Linglong showed a hint of embarrassment, rarely so ashamed and ashamed as now. She smiled like a shy boudoir girl coquettishly in front of her father, and said, "Old man, didn't you know me on the first day, I was such a messy character, didn't I almost kill Tianya with a knife before?" …… Can you help me say good things to the fourth brother, and tell him not to be too angry, okay? ”

"You girl! I remembered when you said that! He Bo smiled, "If I hadn't made a quick move that day, the young master would have really become the soul of your sword, where would there be a general in Hedong!" ”

"I was wrong, I was wrong!!" Xiao Linglong was still coquettish. While eating and laughing, she looked around cautiously, for fear that her appearance would be seen by others.

"Alright, alright, the old man knows." He Bo smiled helplessly, "You little babies, you are making trouble all day long, and none of them are worry-free!" The old man had already wanted to go into the loess pit to sleep, but he couldn't do it, he couldn't let go! ”

"Hehe, then you will live a long life!" Xiao Linglong smiled.

"Try to live as long as you can!" He Bo couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and left.

Xiao Linglong let out a long breath, "Tianya is right, there is really an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." ”

At night, the gates of Zhending City are closed, the lights of the city are raised, and there are Jurchen soldiers patrolling back and forth.

The tense and strict atmosphere at the time of the battle made Xuanwu and Gou Zhen feel a little nervous. They used to be Wanyan Zonghan's people, and they were no strangers to the army of the Jin State at all. If it weren't for the readiness for war, there would not have been such an atmosphere.

That is to say, Jin Guo really plans to send troops from Zhending!

The two of them have lived in Jinguo for a long time, although they are not authentic Jurchens, but with a change of disguise and a fluent Jurchen language, no one can distinguish the real from the fake. The two of them went through the city separately for a day, and after nightfall, they met together to exchange information, and came to a conclusion - there are more than 4,000 guards in Zhending City, and the grain and grass treasury is all full, and there are constantly grain, grass and ordnance transported in!

The army is generally not stationed in the city, and such a formation is either a general entering the city, or when the enemy is approaching, there will be a heavy military plan!

There were 4,000 people in the city, and there must be more outside the city!

"If we come in, we'll be surrounded right away." Gou Chen said worriedly, "This kind of formation of the Jin Kingdom, the inside of the city is like a bait, and the outside of the city is a big net!" - How do you talk back to your father-in-law? ”

"Reply truthfully, whether you fight or not, the lord has the final say." Xuanwu's words were like his sword, pointing directly at the target with a sword to know the blood, "After dawn, you go out of the city, and I will stay behind." After obtaining the letter of the lord, you will meet me here tomorrow at this time. I will find out the movements of the generals and spy on their next military plans. When you get back, we'll do it again! ”

"Okay - take care!"

The next morning, Chu Tianya, who was anxiously waiting, finally looked forward to the news sent back by Liuhe's scouts.

"Fight, why don't you fight?" Chu Tianya decided without hesitation, "It doesn't matter how many people he has to surround him!" The bigger I move, the better! I don't believe they can pull out 100,000 horses to surround the whole Zhending in just a few days! Even if they were besieged, I don't believe they would be able to build a locked city like the one that besieged Taiyuan at that time in a short period of time! - If you can keep it, if you can't keep it, let's escape! ”

Jiao Wentong laughed when he heard this, "Lord, although this kind of stealing chicken and touching dog style is not very upright, but it is also appropriate to deal with the Jurchens!" ”

"Hey, I'm not a righteous and bright person, what kind of righteous and bright battle to fight?" Chu Tianya laughed again and again, "This kind of thing, keep it for the old masters when they write books and essays!" We are reckless men who play with our lives, how can we really fight! ”

"Listen to the lord!" Jiao Wentong smiled heartily. He himself is also very strange, in the past, he despised the kind of Xiao Xiao who was cheating and tricky and unscrupulous to achieve his goals. But now, he is so at ease that he is "in the same stream" as Chu Tianya.

"Second brother, you haven't slept all night this day, go and rest for a while." Chu Tianya said, "If there is a fight in a while, Xiao Qi will still be the first sharp knife!" ”

"Yes!" Jiao Wentong didn't say a word, hugged his fists, and walked away with his horn and big bow.

Chu Tianya looked at his back and shouted loudly, "Don't be like that in the future!" ”

Jiao Wentong looked back and smiled, and strode away.

It's getting dark again.

These two days and three nights were as difficult as several lifetimes for Chu Tianya and the eight thousand soldiers. The veins seemed to be frozen, and at this time, even if they slowly came back to life.

Because, smell the breath of war!

Eight thousand men and horses quietly came out of the Yellow Dragon Valley, and when Xuanwu and Gou set fire to the city, the vanguard scouts of Liuhe would enter the city and first join forces with them to seize the city gate, and then Chu Tianya led the men and horses to kill into Zhending!

There must not be any mistakes in each link, otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted!

At this time, Chu Tianya was very nervous, even more nervous than when he was guarding Taiyuan. Because at that time, he was in the game by himself, and he could adapt to the situation; Now, they have to rely more on their own men!

"It has to be done! It has to be!! Chu Tianya kept chanting in his heart, and he almost knelt on the ground to burn incense and worship the Buddha!
