Nanping took advantage of the handover of Jingbei city between Jiangning and Jingxiang Huo, the soldiers and horses of the Huo family gathered in Pengze to cross the river, and the soldiers and horses of Jiangning had not yet fully entered Jingbei, and brazenly marched across the boundary of Pengli Lake. The Jiangning Su Guard suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of the main force was trapped between Pengli Lake and Jingshan.

Hearing Ziyangqiu tell the news, Xu Jingcheng, Ying Mingyu, and Ying Jun'er were shocked.

Ying Yun'er glanced at Xu Jingcheng, Xu Jingcheng hesitated for a while, and said to Zi Yangqiu: "Is it convenient to see Mr. Shao?" ”

"At this point?"

Xu Jingcheng nodded: "This is exactly the time." ”

Zi Yangqiu said: "Mr. Ying and Jing Cheng are not outsiders, so I will lead you to the handsome tent." ”

Ying Mingyu was stunned when he heard this, Shuai Tent was in an emergency military meeting, Zi Yangqiu made a decision without a report, presumably Xu Ruyu or Shao Haitang expected that they would ask to see at this time.

Xu Jingcheng's expression darkened, and he said secretly: Maybe there is no need to meet. His hand tightened slightly, and he looked sideways to see Ying Yun'er's gentle eyes.

Xu Jingcheng sighed slightly and said, "There is Mr. Lao Ziyang." ”

Xu Ruyu was distracted by the empty tent wall, and after a while, he turned around, his face was not surprised, he pointed to the long case on the left, and said, "Mr. Ying, Brother Jingcheng, please take a seat." He said to Xu Jingcheng again: "Brother Jingcheng, I also have a son, a single name and a prominent character, the same size as Ce'er, they can become brothers, and we don't need to take these many detours." ”

Xu Jingcheng looked at Xu Ruyu's clear and bright eyes, felt the sincere and sincere affection inside, his nose was sour, he raised his head slightly, looked at the empty space above Xu Ruyu's head, and sighed for a while: "I dream once in ten years, and I know where my heart will return when I wake up." Ru Yu and Mr. Shao did not abandon Jing Cheng, Jing Cheng ......" but he couldn't swallow his voice.

Shao Haitang said on the side: "I heard Jingcheng come to see me in the morning, Ru Yu was ecstatic, because of the trip to Dongzhuyan, let me and Jingyun return to the camp first, but unexpectedly, there was also the terrible news of Jingbei." ”

After the end of the Battle of Southern Fujian, Xu Ruyu led the troops to the north to seek Xin'an and Jiangning, Xu Jingcheng was obsessed with the old things, and Xu Zhaorong led the old troops to join Jiangning, and Xu Jingcheng left alone, and he did not know the news for several years. Seeing each other again, Xu Jingcheng was blocked on the way to Jiangning along with the displaced people who went south.

Xu Jingcheng led the displaced people south, and he had no grudges against Jiangning; However, Jiang Ning blocked the way south, and had other plans. Xu Jingcheng stayed in Longyou for several months, as the saying goes: bystanders are clear, and in the past few months, he has gradually glimpsed the strangeness of the battle in the East China Sea.

Xu Ruyu said: "Now, Jing Cheng should also see that it is logical for me to negotiate peace with Donghai. ”

Xu Jingcheng said: "I didn't know until now that this should be the case, and I'm ashamed. ”

Xu Ruyu waved his hand and said, "If there is no change in Jingbei, the battle of Fangshan is inevitable. ”

Chen Yu and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Nanying let the Jiangning army surround the group, although Xu Ruyu is the lord of Jiangning, it is impossible to open the net for no reason. The Nanping soldiers went out of Jingbei, thinking that Xu Ru was foolishly calculating, but the price was inevitably heavier.

Xu Jingcheng glanced at Xu Ruyu and said secretly: There are already the means of the male master.

Xu Ruyu said: "Don't talk about it later, there are many things to do now." He stepped forward, looked at Xu Jingcheng intently, and said, "Brother Vision Cheng helps me." ”

Xu Jingcheng and Ying Yun'er glanced at each other, sighed slightly, and said: "Jingcheng's strength is weak, if it is for the sake of the homeless, I am willing to do my best." ”

Xu Jingcheng has experienced several setbacks, his surname is Gangzangrou, and he is a talented general, but he is unwilling to lead the army to conscript, Xu Ruyu is slightly disappointed. Thinking that Xu Jingcheng was willing to serve in Jiangning, it was not easy, and other things could not be forced, Xu Ruyu smiled faintly and said: "The affairs of the displaced people are bothering Jingcheng and Mr. Ying. Speaking of this, he arched his hand towards Ying Mingyu.

Ying Mingyu hurriedly got up and saluted back, and said, "We know the pain of migration, and we can do our best to meet our hearts." ”

Xu Ruyu bowed slightly, and after returning to the long case, he sat down cross-legged, and said while thinking: "The nearly 30,000 remnants of the Huo clan have entered the territory of Jiangjin. At the beginning, Yi Fengchen gave Huo's ten days to withdraw the remnants of the army from Jingbei, and Nanping attacked at this time, probably Yi Fengchen was in a hurry to eliminate some misunderstandings. The main force of the Su Guard Army was trapped in Jingbei, and Jiang Jin could be asked to facilitate it. ”

Zi Yangqiu said: "The envoy of the Yi family should be on the way to Baishi. ”

Ying Yun'er said secretly: Jingxiang Huo's family is in decline, Jiangning has experienced this setback, but it does not hurt the fundamentals, there is a danger of Hengshan between Jiangjin and Jingxiang, and the Yi family is only afraid that he is more eager to eliminate Jiangning's misunderstanding. This Jiang Jin Yi clan was also involved.

Xu Ruyu pondered for a moment and said: "I don't see anyone from Jiangjin for the time being, Ziyangqiu, you go to intercept the person from Jiangjin and return to Jiangjin with him." ”

Zi Yangqiu was slightly stunned, and his face showed incomprehension.

Xu Ruyu said: "The Huo clan has invaded Jingbei for nearly ten years, and Jingbei's material resources have been depleted, and Xiao Wuye, Li Gonglin and other departments have been unable to raise grain and grass in Jingbei, and the timing cannot be delayed. Liyang and Pengze are separated by Jingshan, although Jingshan has Dongping, Yiyang, Wuyuan and other passages can enter Jingbei, but the terrain is dangerous, although the Fengling camp has elite soldiers, but there is nowhere to exert force, can not contain much Nanping's troops. The most urgent task at the moment is to borrow the road from Jiangjin and advance by land and water, threaten Peng Ze, attract all the troops of Nanping in Jingbei to Peng Ze, and reduce the pressure on Xiao Wuye, Li Gonglin and other troops. ”

"Borrowing from Jiangjin?"

Xu Ruyu nodded, and said: "The Nanping army can sneak to the western foot of Jingshan Mountain, and it has a great deal to do with Yuan Longyi, more than 100 families in the Jingnan Alliance, can Yuan Longyi cover the sky with one hand?" He looked sideways at Zhao Jingyun and asked, "Has the news that Yuan Longyi and Yuan Zhenshi went out of the same house ever confirmed?" ”

Zhao Jingyun replied: "The Jinghu lineage, not the Jinghu sect, does not know the whole picture. Si Wencao tried his best, but he couldn't peek at his path. Yuan Longyi helped Yuan Zhen at this time, but he was afraid that Jiang Ning would sit big, and he could not determine the relationship between the two. Jingyun thought that there was no need for Si Wencao to contribute, and it would not take long for news to spread all over the world. ”

"Oh?"

"Yuan Zhen is not enough to compete with Rong Yanmen for power, this time against Rong Yanmen's intentions, sent troops to Jingbei, mainly with the support of Gongliang Youqin and Xu Bodang. Gongliang Youqin and Xu Bodang are still the generals of Rong Yanmen's family, and they will not easily let Yuan Zhen win him over. If Yuan Zhen wants to expand his power, he can only open up a battlefield in Jingbei for a long time, but whether he can still get the support of Gongliang Youqin and Xu Bodang is a matter of two words. ”

Shao Haitang said: "Rong Yanmen is leading the troops outside, and the north and the Huo clan are using troops very frequently, at this time and my Jiangning will start a war again, as long as our army is determined to advance into Jingbei, Nanping will probably have the voice of temporarily avoiding the edge and returning Jingbei to Jiangning." ”

Zhao Jingyun said with a smile: "The people of Nanping are not greedy for the land of Jingbei, but they can't catch it, if Yuan Longyi makes a stand, the situation will change again." The top priority at the moment is to step up the division of the Jingnan Family Alliance, and not let Yuan Longyi pull the forces of the Jingnan Family Alliance to Nanping together. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Summons Liu Guanwutang and makes him cross the river to see him." ”

Zhao Jingyun asked, "Adults want to use Sanmiao?" ”

Xu Ruyu nodded and said, "Ling Jimo Mingxi moved the garrisons of Lishui, Xuancheng and other places north to Fengling, and the Sanmiao troops gathered at the northern foot of Yunling. ”

Shao Haitang asked, "Let the Su Guards break through from Jingnan?" ”

The Qingjiang garrison moved north, and Sanmiao gathered troops at the northern foot of Yunling, attracting Jingnan troops to the border on both sides, making way for the gap in the middle so that the Su Guards could break through from the middle.

"Jingnan Mountain is steep, the forest is deep and the road is dangerous, if you want to go to Jingnan and cross Huaiyu Mountain, it is a little difficult." Xu Ruyu paused for a moment and said, "Quickly send someone to Yiyang to ask for the opinions of Xiao Wuye, Li Gonglin and others." ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xu Ruyu said again: "Order the water camp warships cruising in the waters east of Sanshui and Jinghai to return to Jinghai and guard the mouth of the river, and the Jiangning water camp will immediately move westward, trace the river upstream, and go to Wuzhou to standby." Fan Wenlong led more than 20,000 Hangzhou elites to move east between Xinzi and Longyou, and Zhang Zhongdao was ordered to conquer Xinzi regardless of the cost before the peace was passed to Xinzi. Speaking of this, the expression on his face eased slightly, and he looked at Xu Jingcheng and Ying Mingyu from the side, and said, "The matter of the displaced people needs to be discussed with Chen Yu in person, Mr. Ying, Jing Cheng, and I will go to see Chen Yu tomorrow morning." ”

#####################

The 40,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Ruyu himself were not as invincible as imagined, and in the past few days, Chen Pre led his troops to break through several times, but they were all blocked back by the dense rain of arrows. As the Jiangning army improved the fortifications on the periphery, Chen's hope of breaking out of the encirclement on his own was also fading.

Light clouds and the moon, flowing like water, Chen Pre led the troops out of the southern camp of Fangshan, and within thirty miles, the Jiangning army surrounded it, and stationed the camp in the south of a dense forest, separated by a shallow stream.

Jiangning's outpost campfire was only two arrows away, and Chen Yu looked at the shadowy figures in the distance, and his heart revealed a sense of sadness.

The time for the decisive battle has been lost, and sending troops over to relieve the siege will only allow Xu Ruyu to break through, and now the only one who can come over to relieve the siege is the 6,000 cavalry battalion in Zhang Jidao's hands.

The north camp of Fangshan was destroyed, and Liu Zhaoyu led the main force of the north camp to withdraw from Qingchi at the same time, Zhang Jidao also withdrew his troops from Hailing and retreated to the south of Tairufu. In the past few days, until the Jiangning army surrounded Chen Preshou's headquarters without leaking, and Zhang Jidao did not move his troops westward, he came to relieve the siege.

If there are no reinforcements within two hundred miles, it is forced to break out of the encirclement, and it cannot avoid the fate of being killed by the Jiangning cavalry battalion. Chen Yu was especially strange in his heart, he was surrounded for several days, but he didn't see Jiang Ning send someone to invite him to surrender.

Chen Yu said secretly: Xu Ruyu is self-aware, knowing that I will not surrender, nor will I do this meaningless thing.

Uncle Chang walked all the way to the camp, and saw Chen Yu looking at the Jiangning camp in the depths of the night through the simple wooden fence, his back was slightly curved, but he was a little depressed, sighed slightly, and walked over.

Chen Yu said softly: "Thinking about the beginning, did you ever think that there would be such a situation today? ”

The eldest uncle was slightly stunned, thinking of the East China Sea, Xu Ruyu's appearance of humbly asking for advice under the tent, and sighed.

Chen Pre said: "Jiang Ning is on the side, and the Chen family will never have the possibility of dominating the world. But the eldest brother could see it clearly, got out and left, not burdened by the Chen family. ”

The eldest uncle looked at the campfire in the distance, and said, "Xu Ruyu is in this camp, but he avoids it, which is very hateful. ”

"Wan Rong betrayed Jiangning, and the East China Sea accepted it, causing Xu Ruyu to delay the opportunity to send troops to Southern Fujian, so that Zhangtai Zheng, Zhou and other families were wiped out several times, and the Southern Fujian family will not hate my Chen family; The soldiers of the East China Sea besieged Pengcheng, which made the danger of Youji a dead end, and the Cai family will not hate my Chen family. Xu Ruyu came out to meet, what good is it? ”

The eldest uncle was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "Jiang Ning's soldiers surrounded here, but there was no action for a few days, although the news from the outside world could not be delivered, I vaguely felt that something was abnormal. ”

Chen Yu said: "What's the abnormality? Zhang Jidao only waits for me to die, so that he can take power; Jiang Jin Yi was suppressed by Jiang Ning and did not dare to move. Smiled miserably, "Zi Lone, Ming said that he went to the camp with me, just to save the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers." ”

The eldest uncle looked at his eyes, and the gloom of dying was accumulated in his crystal pupils, and he was shocked, and said, "Before the last step, why bother? ”

Chen Yu said indifferently: "There are only three days of grain accumulation in the camp, who in the world can break through Xu Ruyu's siege within three days......

The eldest uncle sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, I'll accompany you, so that you can have a drink." ”

Chen preserved as the governor of Donghai County and the patriarch of the Chen family, but he died in battle and did not surrender; Only Chen died, and the more than 10,000 soldiers trapped here may survive.

Chen Yu and Uncle Lonely were already determined, and their hearts were much more desolate, and they didn't return to the tent when they stood in front of the camp, just waiting for the sky to float in the sky, so that they could die on the battlefield heroically.

The light of the day gradually opened, the campfire was broken, the four were overflowing with green light, the horses' hooves were kicking, like spring thunder from far and near, not long after, more than 100 knights came out of the mist in the distance, passed the outpost of the Jiangning camp and did not stop for a while, and went here to come.

Chen Yu and Uncle Chang looked at each other silently, only to see more than 100 horsemen stop at a distance of an arrow, divided into two columns, and several horses slowly galloped out from the middle, stopping in front of everyone. One of them jumped down, walked more than ten steps forward, and through the thin mist, he clasped his fists and said, "Jiangning Xu Ruyu, come to the camp." ”

The voice was not high, but it seemed to ring in the ear, and it felt that Xu Ruyu's eyes fell on his face from such a distance, but Chen Yu was stunned.

The eldest uncle looked at the past, not only Xu Ruyu alone, but also the important people who had been suffering from the past and Jiang Ning in Baishi had almost gathered here, and Shao Haitang, Fang Su, Zhao Jingyun and others also stood a few steps forward and stood behind Xu Ruyu. When he saw Xu Jingcheng, Uncle Lin was shocked again, and said secretly: This guy is arrogant, why did he vote for Jiangning now?

Suddenly, Chen Yu came back to his senses and asked people to open the simple camp gate on the left.
