On the top of Pucheng Ridge in the north of Nghe An, a tall and sturdy figure stands on the top of the cliff, looking down on the thick night under Pucheng Ridge, a pair of eyes seem to be embedded in the night, exuding a faint luster, making his face covered with a very light purple halo; Through the slight light, you can see that he is concentrating on the movement under the Pucheng Mountains, wearing a wide-sleeved hanging shirt, and a narrow-bladed horizontal knife of unknown ink color hanging from his waist.

A small sound sounded from the slope behind him, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight people swept up to the top of Pucheng Ridge, standing beside that person and bowing down. One person took a step forward and said, "Father, Yan Xun sent the elites in Yi'an City to go to the surrounding hills at night. The night was like ink, but it couldn't hide the sparkle in this person's eyes, and seeing his father's figure standing still like petrification, he continued, "Do you want to inform Xiao Wuye?" ”

It was Yue Feixue of Tiannan Martial Sect who led several of his disciples to appear on the top of this Pucheng Ridge, and it was his fourth son Yue Shiheng who stood in front of everyone and told him that Yan Xun would send troops to attack the surrounding hill at night.

Yue Feixue sighed faintly, turned around, and at that moment, his face seemed to emerge from the night, and gradually became distinct in the eyes of everyone. Before the creation of the new dynasty, Yue Feixue was famous all over the world, in the south of the river, the fame was second only to the grandmaster Tianji Xueqiu, at this time it was nearly ninety, but the white face was like jade, without a trace of light wrinkles, just like the weak crown of the youth, the light and thick bundle of hair draped behind the shoulders, the abundance of grace and elegance has a dusty posture, the negative hand is outstanding, and the natural momentum of the absence makes people feel like looking up at the mountains.

However, in Yue Shiheng's eyes, his father was a cold blade immersed in a cold spring.

Yue's Guanxue Knife is the only one who has practiced it into a fierce Shura martial art, but Yue Feixue has five sons and sixteen grandchildren, but no one has reached the realm of "like a flame in the water, fierce and silent".

The Snow Viewing Knife was founded for thousands of years, and it seems that it is only to wait for Yue Feixue alone. Before Yue Feixue, no one had advanced to the rank of peerless martial artists with the Snow Watching Knife, let alone reaching the Grandmaster realm with the martial arts of the Snow Viewing Knife.

Although the children of the Yue clan could not see through the extreme realm of the Guanxue Sword like Yue Feixue, Yue Feixue created a variety of martial arts from the Guanxue Sword martial arts according to the quality of the children in the clan. Yue's masters have emerged in an endless stream since Yue Feixue.

Yue Feixue is not only the pinnacle of extreme martial arts, but the Yue family has also climbed to the peak of Tiannan's power under his leadership and has become the first family in Nanning.

Yue Feixue saw that her son wanted to inform Xiao Wuye of Yan Xun's attack at night, and chuckled: "Xiao Wuye knows it, how can we remind him?" Yue Shiheng asked, "How does my father know that Xiao Wuye is waiting for Yan Xun to go?" Yue Feixue said: "Yan Xun also knows that Xiao Wuye is waiting for him on the surrounding hills. Yue Shiheng became more and more strange, and when he saw his father turn to look away, he knew that continuing to ask would only provoke his father's displeasure, so he kept silent.

Yue Feixue said: "Yan Xun and Zheng Menghuai are the four heroes of Southern Fujian, and their knowledge is naturally not weak, but he is incomprehensible, and this battle cannot be avoided." Yue Shiheng said: "Xu Ruyu only put the notoriety of Tongkou on the Zongzheng clan, and there was a intention to attach to the Yan family, Yan Xun abandoned it, trapped in Yi'an City, and his heart knotted it? Yue Feixue nodded and said: "The Yan clan has lost the hearts of the people, and the people outside the city of Nghe An have abandoned the Yan clan and returned to Xinmin one after another. The generals who trapped the Yan clan in Ducheng and couldn't stand the hunger in their stomachs would take the heads of the Yan clan and present them to Xu Ruyu. For the Yan clan, not fighting is the best choice, and if the war is reversed, it may lead to failure. "My father often praised Xu Ru's foolish talent, how could he not see through it?" Yue Feixue said: "Xu Ruyu launched the Yi'an War, not with the intention of the Yan family, but to reorganize the combat power of Southern Fujian and weaken the power of the Western Fujian family. The army of Southern Fujian was transferred to the north, and Southern Fujian could no longer escape the palm of Xu Ruyu, which was not a military war, but a political war. Yan Xun saw through the mystery, even if he couldn't fight, he had to fight. ”

Yue Shiheng said: "In this case, why didn't Xiao Wuye simply withdraw his troops and leave, but instead gave Yan Xun the opportunity to attack at night?" "To be able to do it once and for all, even if it is dangerous, you have to give it a try, Xiao Wuye may think so in his heart." Yue Feixue said: "Defeat is defeat, but it can't tolerate the indifference of others, Yan Xun should have the consciousness of defeat in his heart, which makes this battle a little interesting." He rose sharply, jumped off the precipice, and said, "Follow me to watch the battle." ”

Yue Shiheng and others descended the mountain from the back slope and swept towards the surrounding hills.

The Ngee An soldiers went out from the north gate of Nghe An, divided into four roads, led by people who were familiar with the terrain, and walked in cover along the way, shining on the road wind lamp covered with a thick gauze cover, and the fire could not be shot, only shining on the body to the exhaustive places.

Yan Qing didn't want to fight at night, Yan Xun looked at him and said, "The Yan clan has so far, is there any other way to retreat?" Yan Qingyi had the intention of surrendering in his heart, but he had no face to say it. Yan Xun said: "Defeat Xiao Wuye's department, the Southern Fujian garrison will not be able to go north to participate in the battle of Yuejun, Xu Ruyu is frustrated by the Zhu family, and the Southern Fujian family will be willing to obey Jiangning's orders?" That's when I had the opportunity to be Gan. Yan Qingyi said: "Xiao Wuye led 10,000 elite soldiers to stay for the end, and he has something to do." Yan Xun raised his eyebrows and said: "I will fight it at night, instead of attacking the camp with light troops, even if Xiao Wuye has some arrangements, it will not be useful."

Since the Battle of Southern Fujian, Yan Qingyi fled back to Putian from Yongjia, thinking that he was unwise to lead the Yan clan into today's predicament with Zongzheng Xunda, and gave up the position of clan leader to Yan Xun. In addition to surrendering, you can only risk death. Although Xu Ruyu did not put the notoriety of Tongkou on the head of the Yan family, but the Yan family surrendered, and the situation would be extremely poor, perhaps just to avoid the fall of the head.

Yan Qing wanted to persuade again, but Yan Xun just didn't listen.

Yan Xun personally led 5,000 soldiers, all of whom were the elite of the clan, and sneaked to the surrounding hills. The camp on the walled hill was pitch black, but dozens of wind lanterns hung high in the tent of Xiao Wuye's Chinese military camp, illuminating a small col in the walled hill as bright as day.

Xiao Wuye was really wary.

The surrounding hills, the terrain is as its name suggests, the surrounding hills are like tombs, the surrounding areas are about several miles, the mountains are easy, and it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a mountain col on the northwest side, and Xiao Wuye set up the Chinese military camp tent in the col.

The Yi'an soldiers approached the southern foot of the walled hill in four ways, with 6,000 on the right flank and 3,000 on the left flank, and the 5,000 soldiers led by Yan Xun were facing the avenue of the hill out of the walled hill, but there was a considerable amount of space in the middle.

The scouts who were stationed on the left came to report one after another, and only Xiao Wuye was left in the camp of the surrounding hill, and from the outside of the surrounding hill, there was no change in the camp. In this way, Xiao Wuye only arranged in the camp of the surrounding hills. The Ngee An soldiers marched with drums, but only 3,000 men from the left flank attacked the camp on the hill from the flank, thinking that it was a temptation.

Yan Xun wants to see what Xiao Wuye did in the enclosed mound?

In the thick of the night, it is impossible to communicate through the torch, and the generals cannot restrain and control the soldiers under their command, and they rely on the survival instinct of the generals. Although the establishment of Ngee An is complicated, at the critical moment of life and death, on the chaotic battlefield, there is no possibility of surrender, and there is no way to find a direction to escape, only desperate fighting, and suffering until dawn.

Yan Xun was hesitating, the dark shadow of the black pressure poured out from the surrounding hills, the sound of running like the wind through the dense forest, there were only a few torches illuminated in the torrent of shadows, looking at it from this side, it was impossible to see the virtual reality, such a big momentum, it seemed that Xiao Wuye sent the troops in the surrounding hills out of the mountain at night, but the confusion of the sound was great, and Xiao Wuye let people drag the branches to simulate the considerable momentum. More than a dozen people came out from the left side, and rushed forward with torches, but before they could get closer, their bodies were already full of arrows, but before the dead soldiers fell, they threw the torches into the black shadow array, and the torches reached the ground and went out, but before they were extinguished, they would illuminate the surrounding open space for several zhang squares. After counting these three times, Yan Xun also saw clearly the array that was surging down from the gentle slope.

Xiao Wuye did not make arrangements in the encircled hills, but sent all the soldiers to the bottom of the mountain to fight a decisive battle with himself?

Yan Xun had a strong uneasiness in his heart, but it was too late to regret it at this time, the Southern Min army on the slope was coming for the five thousand soldiers led by him.

Yue Shiheng and his father stood on a towering mountain rock on the south side of the encirclement hill, watching Xiao Wuye lead 10,000 troops out of the encirclement mound and directly into the encirclement of the Yi'an soldiers. Standing here, I could only see five huge black shadows mixed together under the mountain, and the sound of fierce fighting mixed with the hot wind reached my ears.

Yue Shiheng said: "Isn't such a melee just in line with Yan Xun's intentions? Yue Feixue's eyes were scorching, she was silent, looked at it for a moment, and said, "Xiao Wuye is invincible. Yue Shiheng said: "How so? "The probe looked down, but it was limited to his own cultivation, and his vision was not far away, and he secretly said: Is there any mystery on the battlefield? Yue Feixue said: "Yan Xun only thought that the more chaotic the scene, the more beneficial it would be for him, and when Xiao Wuye led the troops into the encirclement, he ordered the four Yi'an soldiers to rush over, and after contact, he urged the peripheral soldiers to squeeze inward, trying to make the two soldiers completely mixed together. Yue Shiheng said: "In the chaos, the flag torch order is completely useless, you can't see the distance, you can't see the soldiers, the soldiers don't see the generals, there is the most complete formation, and in the dark it is also a rush to collapse, and ordinary soldiers can't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy in the night, so they can only slash and kill indiscriminately, why does my father think that Xiao Wuye is invincible?" ”

Yue Feixue said: "There are two most dangerous parts of night battles, as you already know, one is that the whole army cannot be ordered to act in unison through the flags, drums, horns and other things, and the other is that ordinary soldiers do not distinguish between friend and foe, and the chaos will inevitably lead to cannibalism and collapse. I don't know how Xiao Wuye secretly passed on military orders without being disturbed by the enemy, but the method of identifying friend and foe is very simple, but no one could have thought of it beforehand. Yue Shiheng asked: "How does the Southern Fujian Army identify friend and foe?" Yue Feixue said: "The soldiers of the Southern Fujian army will stand still when they enter the encirclement, and if they are quiet, they will be friendly troops, and if they move, they will be enemies, isn't it very simple?" ”

Yue Shiheng looked down, and seemed to be able to see countless Yi'an soldiers who rushed into the Southern Fujian army formation being brutally killed by the horse halberd.

At this moment, a rhythmic cry came from the battlefield below, the sound of "ho-ho", which at first came from the center of the melee, low and monotonous, and strange syllables burst out from the depths of the throat, like a wild beast roaring in the middle of the night.

Yue Feixue said: "Xiao Wuye's order like this is indeed amazing. ”

More and more people burst out from the depths of their throats with the sound of "ho-ho", and the shouts gradually became majestic, resounding throughout the battlefield, and the entire battlefield moved at a certain moment, pressing southward.

Yue Feixue suddenly straightened her back and said, "Yan Xun has put in countless surnames in order to untie the knot, he is really stupid. The battle has been decided, we can't watch it anymore, let's go to Quanzhou. He stepped on the treetops and led his disciples to the east.

Yan Xun fought in the encircled hills, and Xiao Wuye's troops were defeated. In the more than 30 miles between the walled hill and the city of Nghe An, there were 5,000 corpses of the Ngee An army, and the rest of the Ngee Ann army generals who participated in the night battle fled to the four borders after being defeated. Xiao Wuye commanded the troops to enter the city of Nghe An. The next day, Yan Qingyi opened the gate of Yi'an, led 5,000 soldiers in the city to assemble outside the city, trapped himself in the prisoner car, and surrendered to Xiao Wuye. Yan Xun disappeared after the service. The period of the northern transfer was gradually exhausted, Xiao Wuye had no time to stay in Yi'an, so he ordered Luoyang to send thousands of sailors to temporarily garrison Yi'an, waiting for Xue Mingrui to lead the army to come over to change the guard, and Luo Shanyang escorted Yan Qingyi and other more than 100 Yan clansmen directly to Quanzhou to listen to the arrival of the camp of Nanmin Xingyuan, and he led the main force of the Third Army of the Su Guard Army to escort the 5,000 troops to the direction of Yongjia. Xiao Wuye left 5,000 troops in Yongjia, and Jian Jia advanced northward with light equipment.

Liang Bao was overjoyed when he received the good news from the flying horse, and hurriedly sent the flying horse to send the good news to Jiangning and spread it to all parts of Southern Fujian. At the same time, Shui Ruying sent someone to tell him: "Yue Feixue, the sect master of the Yue clan, is congratulating the big gift, and leading several disciples to Quanzhou, which is in the back garden. ”

Liang Bao hurriedly asked people to invite his uncle Fangwu and Zheng Menghuai to go to the back garden of the West Courtyard of the Min Palace.

Stepping into the back garden, I saw Shui Ruying and a person playing chess on a stone table under the shade of a tree.

The man sat upright on the spine of the halberd, with his back to the moon gate, his mind focused on the chess chart, and he didn't seem to notice that Liang Bao and the others had stepped into the hospital. Several masters stood behind the man, and when they saw Liang Bao and several people coming in, they bowed their heads and signaled, for fear of alarming the two people who were playing chess.

Sleeve walked over, pouted at the man, and said, "When Master Yue comes over, he wants to play chess with his sister, regardless of my sister's strength at this time." ”

The man turned around and said, "The shadow is haggard because of emotional sorrow, but it doesn't hurt to spend some time." ”

Shui Ruying made him blush, Wan Ting stood up, pointed at Liang Bao and said, "Master Yue, he is Liang Bao, the head of Southern Fujian." He also introduced his uncle Fang Wu and Zheng Menghuai.

Yue Feixue didn't stand up, but just sat there and bowed her head slightly, as a sign of courtesy.

Liang Bao saw that the face of this person in front of him was like a crown of jade, rich and handsome, and he seemed to be a young man who had just reached the age of a weak crown, and said secretly: When I first saw such a childish person, it was hard to imagine that he was already ninety years old. Shui Ruying, sleeves call him "Yue Shi", Liang Bao did not dare to worry about his identity, he bowed his body to the disciple ceremony, and exclaimed: "Liang Bao has seen Yue Zong." ”

Zheng Menghuai and Uncle Sun Fang Wu knew that Yue Feixue's status in the hearts of the world's martial artists was second only to the three great masters, so they naturally didn't feel that his suitable actions were slack, and they stepped forward to salute him together.

Zheng Menghuai noticed Shui Ruying's name for Yue Feixue, and said: "Miss Ruying called Yue Zong as a teacher, but today I recognize it, if this is the case, there will be an excuse to drink at the banquet tonight." ”

Yue Feixue said: "Liang Bao's ancient practice of breathing boxing is an ancient thaumaturgy, and he is afraid that he will be deceived by him after marrying him, so he asks me for a martial art as a gift." What I have learned in my life is only taught to the descendants of the clan, but no one calls me a master, so I take advantage of this day to bring Ruying and sleeves into the door. As for drinking, Ngee Ann is an excellent excuse. ”

Zheng Menghuai and his uncle Fang Wu didn't know about Yi'an Zhanjie. Liang Bao said: "The first foot received the battle report of Yi'an, and the second foot was like a shadow to let people report Yuezong's visit, and I was panicked for a while, and I didn't have time to tell everyone, but I didn't want Yuezong to know first." ”

Yue Feixue said: "Shi Heng and I happened to meet Xiao Wuye's wonderful battle on the way, and I already knew it. ”

Since Yue Feixue was canonized as the king of Nanning, she has not stepped out of Nanning. Even if it was a matter of peace between the two families, it was not enough for him to come out in person. Zheng Menghuai glanced at the Xiuli atrium like a fairy in the painting, and said secretly: Yue Feixue's surname is extremely arrogant, and very few people let him see it.

glanced at his uncle Fang Wu, saw him hanging his head and thinking about it, thinking about it, he also understood Yue Feixue's intention of bringing Shui Ruying and sleeves under the door.

Jiangning and Nanning can have a harmonious relationship today, and the water is like a shadow. Today, Yue Feixue will take her and her sleeves under the door in front of everyone, and she will be an important person in maintaining the relationship between Nanning and Jiangning.

Echigo said, with the support of Yue Feixue and his uncle Fangwu, Liang Bao and Sleeve completed the wedding and became a couple. Yue Feixue stayed in Quanzhou for a while, and then returned to Nanning alone, leaving only his son Yue Shiheng and several disciples of the clan in Quanzhou to discuss the peace between the two families.

The steep river runs through Shi'an and Lingling, and is the only waterway from Nanping to Nanning, and the Yue clan gathered nearly half of Nanning's troops to be stationed near Shi'an, and contained nearly 60,000 elite combat forces on Nanping South Road in the Lingling area. After Nanning was ruled by the Yue clan, the war in the territory stopped, but the land is sparsely populated, thousands of miles away, the population is about 2 million (including 800,000 three seedlings), only less than one-third of the Yue County in its heyday.

During the great drought in the north and the war between Nanping and the Huo family in Jingbei, a large number of displaced people poured into Qingjiang and other places, almost making up for the reduction of Qingjiang and Dongyang due to war and banditry, but Jiangning has recently risen, and the rule of Nanmin has not been completely stable, although the region is equivalent to Nanping, but the strength is far from the same, even if the Yuejun is unified and the surrounding forces are under its banner, it is still at a disadvantage compared with Nanping.

Rong Yanmen used Qi Ce to capture Yuzhou, open the door to Shu, and continuously put troops into Shu, as long as Rong Yanmen conquered Shu, Nanping will dominate the southwest, and threaten Jingxiang and Jiangning with the danger of terrain.

Jiangning also had to rely on Nanning's containment of the southern border of Nanping, so that it had the confidence to compete with the Nanping Xiongshi in the upper reaches of the river.
