Cangzhou military camp, at this time the 150,000 army has been deployed on the bank of the Lancang River, Yanzhou assassin Shi Zhai Qian, under Li Muyuan's persuasion several times, knows that if he does not form an alliance with Cangwu, sooner or later he will become the meat of the army and be killed by the Zhao army.

So it took only three days for him to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses, prepare the grain and grass of the army, and rush to the bank of the Lancang River with Li Muyuan to join the two armies of Cangwu.

At this moment, on the bank of the turbulent Lancang River, Zhai Rang, the general of the Yanzhou Army, Cai Hongyi, the commander of the Cangzhou Army, Zheng Bingyi, the commander of Wuzhou, and the history of the Sanzhou Assassin are all standing on the bank of the Lancang River.

Li Muyuan's trip to the alliance was full of fatigue, and at this moment, the three armies are united, and he has made great contributions. However, the news coming from the north at this moment made Li Muyuan's heart sink to the bottom.

Li Weize, the assassin of Wuzhou, pointed to the 50,000 troops on the other side of the Lancang River and said: "I just got a big news, and I have to invite a few Ming Dukes to discuss together, where should we go next in the Southern Alliance" In the end, Li Weize had to sigh and hang his arms.

Seeing this, Zhai Qian and Cai Tingkai felt a lot of uneasiness in their hearts, Zhai Qian couldn't hold his breath the most, and hurriedly asked: "Oh, I said Brother Li, don't talk about it, talk halfway, hang people's appetite!" What's the news, hurry up! ”

Cai Tingkai was also reconsidered, Li Weize glanced at Li Muyuan beside him, Li Muyuan nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Cai Tingkai with both hands, and then said to everyone: "The imperial court is preparing for the new emperor's accession to the throne. Zhao Mu suffered from tuberculosis, and I am afraid that he will die in the near future. He has already begun preparations to let the emperor abdicate and change the dynasty. The 300,000 troops of the Zhao army have retreated one after another, and now Chen Bing is on the bank of the Lancang River, only the 50,000 army of Sedum. Zhao Jun, in a short time, I'm afraid he won't attack Cangzhou! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. You must know that the 150,000 army, Chen Bing Lancang River. The amount of grain and grass required is huge, and in a month, it will consume more than 100,000 stone of grain and grass, and the labor of the people who need to be requisitioned in the middle is even more numerous. The impact of this news, on the Southern Alliance, can be said to be too great.

"Great! In this way, my Yanzhou will be stable. In my opinion, since Zhao Jun has no intention of marching south now, there is no need for our alliance to continue. If we continue, not only will the consumption of grain and grass be too great, but the labor of the people will be so heavy that no matter which state or county we are, we will not be able to withstand the consumption here for a long time. So, I think we'd better break up. One day in the future, the Zhao army will lead the troops to the south again, and we will gather together to fight against the Zhao army, what do you think? Zhai Qian said with some joy that for him, he has been comfortable in Yanzhou for too long, and what he wants to fight and enjoy peace is what he wants.

Li Weize and Cai Tingkai glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes

Besides, Zhang Cheng and his party of more than 200 people have been five days away from the incident in Qiling, and they have already rushed to the position of thirty miles from Luocheng, Luoxian County, Xianyi County. In a place a hundred miles away from Los Angeles, Zhang Cheng had already asked the guard battalion to be stationed on the spot, and he only took the Flying Tiger Brigade and the Juyi Hall under the command of Longqiu Ling to Los Angeles.

Xianyi County is the land of Gyeonggi, the vicissitudes of Fuzhou for hundreds of years, how many years of Weishui Luoshui land under the hard work of the people, today's prosperity, I am afraid that only the traffic of Wuzhou Guangyuan County in the south, the flowers can be compared.

Along the way, the population became denser and denser, and there were several thatched huts and wine shops hidden in the forests of the official road from time to time. Even in the middle of winter, it still shows the prosperity and wealth of the Gyeonggi land in the world.

Seeing the people coming and going in the wine shop in front of him, Zhang Cheng glanced at it and said to Yang Wenzhao beside him: "It's so lively in front, let's go and have a cup of tea, warm and warm!" Let's go! ”

Before coming to the wine shop, Zhang Cheng pulled Yang Wenzhao and was about to walk in, but Feng Jingyu suddenly blocked Zhang Cheng's way, and he arched his hand and said: "General, I feel that this wine shop doesn't taste right!" It seems to be dangerous, so let's not go in. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng glanced at the wine shop with a smile. The word Qingfeng hangs at the door of the wine shop, and outside the wine shop, there is also a little er wearing coarse cloth clothes and a white rag hanging on his right shoulder. In the wine shop, there are a few merchants who come and go, dressed in brocade clothes, whispering something; And beside them, there sat a few people wearing scarves and long robes, they talked and laughed and recited poems, and at a glance they knew that they were scholars and Confucian scholars. Then there were five or six tough guys sitting at the outermost level, wearing corsets and carrying long knives at their waists. And in the stable of the wine shop, there were five or six horses on a leash, and it seemed that they should be the mounts of these people.

The liquor store is surrounded by woods, and although it is dense, it can still be seen that there is no one hiding in it.

"No problem! I think these people are ordinary people, nothing special! Don't be so suspicious. This is only a few dozen miles away from Gyeonggi, Los Angeles, and if there are still strongmen in this place, then I have to wonder if this is the place where the imperial court is located, the heart of the world. It's okay, let's go, go in and sit! Zhang Cheng patted Feng Jingyu's chest and said with a smile.

Zhang Cheng walked over freely, Yang Wenzhao followed, Feng Jingyu held the horizontal knife at his waist at the moment, and followed closely beside the two, Long Qiu Ling secretly took off the longbow behind him, held it in his hand, and kept an eye on the people in the wine shop. Fang Qian's father and daughter walked at the end of several people. Feng Jingyu gave the Flying Tiger Brigade behind him a look, and everyone in the Flying Tiger Brigade immediately understood and secretly prepared.

Zhang Cheng walked into the wine shop in a big way, looked at the five or six people who looked like dart masters around him, and then walked to an empty table and sat down.

He was about to call Xiao Er to come over and pour tea, when suddenly, Xiao Er raised his arm, and the sleeve arrow came out of his sleeve, and he shouted at Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Cheng Xiao'er, suffer death!" ”

The three sleeve arrows instantly shot at Zhang Cheng in unison, followed by a dozen people sitting at several tables immediately stood up violently, the six dart masters pulled out their long knives and rushed towards Zhang Cheng, while the other dozen or so people also drew short daggers from their sleeves and rushed towards Zhang Cheng. The Qingfeng Wine Shop, which was originally quiet and harmonious, suddenly changed and murderous at this moment.

Feng Jingyu had long been guarding against everyone in the wine shop, and the position he was standing in was just in front of Zhang Cheng. The sleeve arrow was shot, Feng Jingyu crossed the knife, and the three sleeve arrows were blocked by him and bounced on the ground. He roared, "Protect the general!" ”

"Yes!" The Flying Tiger Brigade and the Divine Arrow Battalion immediately drew their knives and arrows, and the fastest one was Longqiu Ling, the longbow had already been held in his hand, and the arrows in the quiver were immediately drawn out by him, and the bow was bent and the arrows were bent, and the shopkeeper was shot by Longqiu Ling in response.

Immediately after, outside the wine shop, Lin Xian's three arrows had already been wound, and with a buzz, the bowstring vibrate, and the three dart masters who rushed to the front were immediately shot to death by Lin Xian. And Xiao An followed closely behind, also firing three arrows in a volley, and the remaining three dart masters were also shot.

At a distance of only ten steps, for the Divine Arrow Battalion, which was originally a Juyi Hall, it was simply a hand-to-hand capture.

However, things were far worse than Zhang Chengyi expected, just when there was a fierce battle in the wine shop, in the woods outside, under the leaves and withered grass, a group of black-clothed armor soldiers appeared in an instant, each holding a horizontal knife in their hands, and in the depths of the woods, a group of black-clothed archers rushed out.

Four hundred people, all of them elite, rushed to the Qingfeng Wine Store at the same time at this time.

Feng Jingyu kicked back, kicked the nearest table to the scholar-like armor soldiers who rushed up again, the four people were smashed over by the wooden table, he ran over one by one, the horizontal knife swept, and the throat of the four people was stabbed at the same time, followed by Feng Jingyu slapped the horizontal knife, and the wooden table on the side turned up again, smashing at the other four businessman-like assassins. The four Assassins repeated the fate of the scholars, who were cut out of their waists and abdomen and died.

Feng Jingyu turned around, pointed his right hand forward, and the Flying Tiger Brigade turned around violently, raised his horizontal knife high, and resolutely rushed towards the black-clothed armor soldier who was hiding from under the leaves who rushed over first. The two groups of the Flying Tiger Brigade lined up, and when they were less than twenty paces away from the enemy, they took off their crossbows and pressed the mechanism.

"Doot toot!"

In an instant, more than a dozen black-clothed armor soldiers who rushed to the front were shot, and immediately after, the Flying Tiger Brigade alternated positions with two groups of people in a row and the previous two groups, and twenty small arrows were fired, killing more than a dozen enemies.

After two shots, the Flying Tiger Brigade engaged the enemy. And the Divine Arrow Battalion behind him, under the command of Long Qiu Ling, went around to the sides and went straight to the group of archers who were still running in the forest.

For the Divine Arrow Battalion, using bows and arrows in the forest is what they do best. I saw that the Divine Arrow Battalion took Lin Xian and Xiao An as the sharp arrows, and took the lead in rushing into the woods. The Divine Arrow Battalion formed a large circle, as if it were about to surround the group of archers.

Lin Xian on the left ran as he drew three arrows from his back, bent his bow and arrows, and three enemy soldiers were shot. And Xiao An did the same, shooting three enemy soldiers. The 180 archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion followed by them, also bending their bows and arrows, and in the process, they shot arrows.

One hundred and eighty arrows flew from two directions towards the enemy army running towards the liquor store with a longbow in hand. The distance was a full hundred paces, and the enemy had just stood still, bending their bows and arrows, but the arrows had already flown towards them, and the twenty or thirty archers who were crouching in front were actually shot over. Each person had two or three arrows on them. The Divine Arrow Battalion did not stop, it kept moving forward, the enemy archers had just made up for it, and before they aimed at the target, the Divine Arrow Battalion shot out one hundred and eighty arrows again, and the black-clothed enemy army at this moment had been surrounded, and the arrows shot the outermost twenty or thirty people again.

What's even more surprising is still behind, after the arrow battalion shoots this arrow, the whole battalion moves quickly in a circle, and keeps shooting arrows, and for every arrow shot, twenty or thirty people will be shot.

The arrows shot by the enemy archers, but none of them hit the target, but in just a moment, there were only more than 100 people left of their own 200 people, and the opponent's arrows were like having eyes, and at a distance of 100 paces, not a single arrow missed, just a short moment, a hundred people, and they were gone. This created a deep fear in the enemy army.

On the other hand, the Flying Tiger Brigade, the black-clothed armor soldiers can be regarded as heroic, but in the fierce battle with the Flying Tiger Brigade, they are not opponents. Especially in the face of the top ten people of the Flying Tiger Brigade headed by Feng Jingyu, they are known as Flying Tiger, Flying Leopard, Flying Lion, Flying Bear, Flying Horse, Flying Eagle, Flying Fox, Flying Cat, Flying Eagle, and Flying Crane in the army. It is called the Ten Tigers of the Flying Tiger Brigade by the whole army of the Flying Tiger Brigade!

Feng Jingyu holds a horizontal knife in his hand, his martial arts are super strong, and his knife skills are concise and ruthless, he is like a killing god, and if he looks at it with a knife, the other party's head will be cut off. He swept a sweep, and two more people were slashed in the waist and abdomen by him, followed by him rushed to a black-clothed soldier, stabbed the opponent in the abdomen, kicked the opponent, pulled out the horizontal knife, blocked the oncoming horizontal knife, and after resisting with all his strength, a diagonal slash, and killed the black-clothed armor soldier who rushed up.

The other nine generals under his command are also outstanding in battle, and the tips of their knives are stained with blood, and the Flying Tiger Brigade has a fierce battle, and the enemy's two hundred soldiers, after half a ring, there is not much left.

And on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion, the battle has long been over. Two hundred archers fell in a circle in a pool of blood, and rivers of blood flowed like a river.

After a fierce battle, the 400 enemy troops were basically wiped out, and the few wounded soldiers who were left in the end actually committed suicide. Zhang Cheng walked out of the wine shop, Feng Jingyu came over, wiped the blood on his face, and said to Zhang Cheng: "All the enemy troops have been cleared, and the few enemy soldiers who were captured have committed suicide. Of the 280 men in our army, only the Flying Tiger Brigade had five seriously wounded and ten lightly wounded. ”

"Okay, first carry the wounded soldier down and treat him. Take a break, too. Zhang Cheng was solemn at the moment, his expression was very bad, gloomy and uncertain.

Picking up the horizontal knife on the ground and trying the edge of the horizontal knife, Zhang Cheng looked at the horizontal knife in his hand while thinking about something. On the handle of the horizontal knife, there are two small characters engraved: Xiaoguo. Although most of the traces have been erased, the words of these two words can still be faintly recognized if you look closely.

Fang Qian walked over, he looked at the horizontal knife on the ground, and his brows were also furrowed. He came to Zhang Cheng's side, and from his angle, he happened to see the words Xiaoguo. Fang Qian was suddenly taken aback!

The Xiaoguo Army was one of the Imperial Imperial Guards' Forbidden Guards in Gyeonggi. The imperial court had a total of 40,000 troops in the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, the Xiaoguo Army, and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the Yulin Army, to jointly defend the important land of Gyeonggi. Although the Southern Ya Forbidden Army and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army are both forbidden armies, their responsibilities are slightly different. The Xiaoguo Army of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army mainly guarded the security outside the imperial city; The Northern Ya Forbidden Army was responsible for the security of the imperial city.

Cheng Shide, the general of the Nanya Xiaoguo Army, is the old department of Zhao Hui, the governor of the capital, in the previous wars, outstanding achievements, many battle wounds on the body, one of which was wounded in the root of the thigh, failed to leave an heir, at the request of Cheng Shide, was recommended by Zhao Hui, and became the general of the Xiaoguo Army. is Zhao Hui's command, the most loyal subordinate.

And at this moment, these left horizontal knives are all engraved with the word Xiaoguo on the handle. The main messenger behind this is self-evident. Looking at Zhang Cheng's face again, Fang Qian sighed deeply in his heart. The day finally came.

Zhang Cheng threw the horizontal knife in his hand to the ground, and after a few breaths, he said indifferently to Feng Jingyu: "Clean up the battlefield immediately, bury all the corpses, and don't leave any traces." ”

Immediately after, Zhang Cheng said to Yang Wenzhao again: "Brother Yang, I'm afraid that you can't follow me and go to the capital." Immediately return to Northland County, step up the construction of armaments, buy war horses from the grasslands, and prepare a wide range of grain and grass for emergencies! At the end, Zhang Cheng thought about it, and he said to Yang Wenzhao again: "Always pay attention to Tian Haitao's town navy to prevent him from raiding our Beidi County!" ”

Xiaoguojun suddenly came to assassinate Zhang Cheng, which can only show that Zhao Hui, the governor of the capital, no longer trusts Zhang Cheng, and at the same time, I am afraid that there are still many unknown things that are quietly changing. The intelligence organizations of Beidi County are all over the world, and Zhang Cheng knows very well about many major events that happened in the imperial court. Although Zhang Cheng didn't know very well about the prime minister's serious illness and dying, he had long known about the prime minister's daily cough, and according to his thousands of years of cultural knowledge, he immediately judged that the prime minister was probably suffering from tuberculosis.

Now that Zhao Hui suddenly sent troops to assassinate him, he thought of the prime minister's illness, and the reason for it was clear.

Yang Wenzhao didn't ask anything, immediately took the order, took the ten soldiers of the Flying Tiger Brigade, and left directly.
