Above the city, the soldiers looked at the convoy under the city, their eyes flashing with curiosity.

Below the city, the convoy gradually stopped, and the group of soldiers did not make a sound except for the sound of the axles.

"This should be Nangong's angry man!"

An Shixian, who slowly climbed to the top of the city tower, glanced at the people and horses under the city, and then looked at the big flag behind Nangong Nu, grinned and laughed.

At this time, a person walked out of Nangong Zhifu's side, slowly walked to the city gate, looked at the people in the city, there was no trace of panic in his eyes, and said loudly like a lightning strike: "I am on the orders of Lord Shaofu, go north to carry out military affairs, and ask General An to open the city and let him go!" ”

An Shixian saw that Nangong was angry and did not come out, nor did he answer, ordered someone to carry out a chair and sit down, and then pointed to a general beside him.

The general glanced at An Shixian's face, then walked to the city, and also looked like a businessman, and shouted loudly: "Since the words are transferred, where is the paperwork?" ”

Nangong Zhi's eyes are extremely keen, he has already seen An Shixian, I believe that An Shixian can recognize himself even if he is old and dizzy, he smiled faintly, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and then walked out and said loudly: "The document is here, if you want to check it, please go down to the city to take a look!" ”

"Downtown?"

An Shixian sneered, then shook his head, pursed his lips, looked at the melons and fruits on the side of the case, nothing **, and then closed his eyes again, and said lightly: "Go, throw a basket down and send it to me!" ”

Not long after, a basket slowly hung down from the city, Nangong Zhinu glanced at the basket, and then threw the paperwork in, and suddenly remembered something in his heart, An Shixian's son An Qiusheng and Liu Fa The relationship is not very good, when going north, An Qiusheng died tragically outside the city, it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with Liu Fa, this time he is sending grain and grass to Liu Fa, although there are not many people who know about this matter, but it is difficult to ensure that no one reveals it, thinking of this, Nangong Nu took out a delicate token from his arms, it was Nangong Nu before leaving, Qin Wen personally handed it over to him.

With a "bang", the token was also thrown into the basket.

"This token will ensure that you can travel through the Southern Prison, if there is any obstacle, you can cut it first!"

"This, my lord, will there be obstacles along the way, and the southern prison will be newly ......?"

"I hope you don't need it!"

Thinking of Qin Wen's words before leaving, Nangong Zhi frowned, looking at this Mangyuan City, he suddenly had a sense of distance, his expression slowly stiffened, and his heart was as cold as ice.

Maybe the Southern Prison has never been an iron plate, otherwise how could the southern invasion of the face barbarians fall so easily.

An Shixian had long known that Nangong was coming, and as soon as Nangong was released from Nanprison, the news had already reached Mangyuan, and he also had a document in his hand, which was no different from Nangong's anger.

"Huh!"

Seeing the paperwork in the basket, An Shixian didn't take it seriously, just glanced at it casually, but the token made An Shixian's face cold.

"Let's open the city!"

An Shixian touched the token, although his eyes were a little hot, but he still put it on the case and put it together with the paperwork.

Although the South Prison is small, it also has a number of places, this small token seems ordinary, but it can command the entire South Prison, of course, this is also in Qin Wen's hands.

The thick and heavy city gate was slowly pushed open, and Nangong watched the city gate open with no expression on his face.

"Soldiers, follow me into the customs!"

An Shixian did not greet him in person, although the city gate was wide open, but there was no figure, Nangong was angry without a trace of fear in his eyes, just sneered, flicked the horsewhip, and then entered the city first.

He believed that An Shixian did not dare to mess around in front of everyone, although these horses under his command were day and night, haggard, but they had the ultimate combat power.

When the city was besieged, the men and horses under his command forgot to die and fought bloody battles with the barbarians, and they were not necessarily afraid of the bravest barbarians, let alone these horses in the city of Mangyuan.

Behind him, all the soldiers agreed in unison, urging the carriages and horses, and then entered the city in a mighty manner.

Although there are not many people in the city, the momentum is huge, and it sounds sonorous and powerful, which is the momentum of a team of hundreds of people.

"Hiss......"

When everyone in the city heard this voice, their faces also changed slightly.

"Humph!"

Hearing this voice, An Shixian's face became colder and colder, is this a disadvantage for the old man?

"...... Uproar"

An Shixian's heart was full of hatred, and there was a trace of fear in it, his fear of Nangong's anger.

The first executioner in the southwest was not covered, his hand shook slightly, and a tea cup was empty in his hand, and then it fell to the ground.

Looking at the heat floating on the ground, An Shixian's heart sank, and then he squinted his eyes, he coughed dryly, and then said: "Let's go, go down and have a look with the old man, come from afar, it's a guest!" ”

He finally made up his mind to take a long-term view and see the situation.

"Hehe, Brother Mu, it's rude!"

Seeing the messenger go away, Liu Fa finally returned to the hall, only to hear Xin He and Mu Qingchen talking very happily inside, he also smiled slightly, and walked in and sat in the seat.

"Where did Brother Liu come from, I was an uninvited guest, uninvited, and when I came here, I brought a lot of bad news to everyone, what a shame!"

Saying that, Mu Qingchen shook his head and smiled bitterly, Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled heartily, he looked at Mu Qingchen and laughed: "That's the case, punish wine, haha!" ”

Then Liu Fa immediately poured wine for Mu Qingchen, looking at Mu Qingchen, full of banter, I haven't seen him for half a year, Mu Qingchen's temperament is much more cheerful than before, in the past, Mu Qingchen looked cold all day long, how could there be a smile on his face.

"There are a lot of things in the southwest, and recently Dali has invaded again, I am really a little difficult to deal with, Brother Liu, what I said just now, there is no half a lie, if you wait for the barbarians or Dali to slow down, the southern prison may not be able to be saved!"

Mu Qingchen smiled, took a sip of wine, looked at the sky, it was already a little late, he put down the wine cup, and had to continue to mention what he just said, and his eyebrows were quite worried.

As soon as he heard Mu Qingchen mention it, Liu Fa also sighed, this is a problem that he has to face, he looked at Mu Qingchen, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Brother Mu, you and I are friends, there is no need to mention it, but leading the troops to fight is a major matter for thousands of people, and it needs to be considered in the long run, Brother Mu, there are no outsiders here, and I will also reveal the bottom ...... to you."

Hearing Liu Fa say this, Xin He was also shocked, looking at Liu Fa, he was a little incredulous, the military aircraft is a major event, it is very important, don't say that it is a close friend, it is a relative and family, and it cannot be told.

When Mu Qingchen heard Liu Fa say this, he immediately stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Liu, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, how can I be qualified to know about the affairs of your army!" ”

Xin He glanced at Liu Fa, his eyes were also very eager, and he nodded with Mu Qingchen.

Liu Fa waved his hand, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Mu is not an outsider, even if he knows, it's not a big deal!" ”

Hearing Liu Fa say this, the two fell silent, Liu Fa smiled, asked the two to sit down again, and then began to talk again.

"There is not much grain and grass in our army, only for one month, and now there is no movement in the south prison, I also lack a batch of winter clothes here, and I hurriedly went north, although I got a lot of baggage supplies in the city, but not a lot, the soldiers lack winter clothes, the southwest is bitter cold, and now it is almost the end of the year, where do the soldiers still have the heart to fight!"

Hearing Liu Fa say this, Xin He was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile, and finally put his mind at ease.

"This, Chenguan is an important town, and there are naturally not a few barbarians hoarding grain and grass, how can it only be enough for Brother Liu's army to support until the end of the month!"

Mu Qingchen frowned when he heard Liu Fa's words, but he couldn't figure it out.

Liu Fa was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xin He, and then laughed loudly, hearing Liu Fa's laughter, Mu Qingchen's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart.

"Why is Brother Liu laughing?"

Liu Fa shook his head, then looked at Mu Qingchen again, sighed, poured him a glass of wine, and then said, "Brother Mu, do you know how I broke the dust barrier?" ”

Mu Qingchen smiled perfunctorily, took the wine cup, looked at Liu Fa and said, "I don't know, I want to hear it!" ”

"I have no more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and I will not be more than five fingers, but the soldiers and horses in this city are several times as large as mine, and if you want to attack, it is impossible!"

"Oh, then Brother Liu, tell me, how did this dust pass break?"

Hearing Liu Fa say this, Mu Qingchen also came to be interested, not long after Liu Fa went south, Qin Wen would not give him too many soldiers and horses no matter how much he paid attention to him, otherwise how could he convince the public, this dust pass is also an important town, and it will not be easy to break this place.

"There are not many brave people under my command, but there is one who is extremely special, I think you have also seen it, that is the little two you saw among the guests, he is a barbarian man. It's called Qingyunfei! ”

Liu Fa smiled mysteriously, looked at Mu Qingchen, and then glanced at Xin He, and then said: "Qing Yunfei is the brother I met in the Southern Prison, and he also has hundreds of people and horses under his command, all of whom are barbarian warriors, and it is he who led those men and horses under him to sneak into this dust pass and set fire to the official warehouse of this dust pass!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Fa also remembered the scene of that night, in the dust, the thick dark night illuminated the night, and the shouts and screams in the city did not stop all night.

"Since that night, where is there still food and grass available for the barbarians in the dust pass, the army's morale is scattered, the dust pass is chaotic without a fight, and the dust pass is broken by me!"

Liu Fa did not mention the matter of Gu Ximen, this matter still needs to rot in the stomach, thinking of Gu Ximen, Liu Fa was a little upset, Gu Simon was handed over to the barbarians in this dust pass to repair, and I don't know if these barbarians have any other thoughts, what they did in Ximen.

"I see, it's so difficult to break through the dust, Brother Liu is really amazing!"

Hearing Liu Fa say this reason, Mu Qingchen was finally relieved, he nodded, and also realized that Liu Fa was not easy.

"No, no, no, I'm not powerful, it's all dependent on these brothers around me!"

Liu Fa shook his head, and then patted Xin He's shoulder again, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

From the southwest to the south prison, Xin He made great contributions, not to mention that he made no mistakes in handling everything in the army, and the cloud beads he created really played a very important role.

The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself!

Xin He was grateful to Liu Fan's eyes, but he just smiled slightly, he has never been very good at words, and he rarely expresses his emotions, and he does more and says less on weekdays.

"Since that night after the fire burned the dust pass, the dust pass grain and grass was exhausted, the dust pass barbarians were defeated without a fight, after I entered the city, there were many days, the daily grain and grass consumption is a large number, before I was also alone in the north, no supplies, no support, there is no way to fight with the barbarians head-on, just attack their grain road, disturb them, now the south prison has just been decided, the dust pass is indispensable, even if the army is exhausted food and grass, I can only wait for the news of the south prison!"

Liu Fa sighed, and finally said the truth, looking at Mu Qingchen, he also expressed his difficulties.

"Well, then, is there no more way?"

Mu Qingchen was a little frustrated when he heard Liu Fa say this, and then lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Liu Fa glanced at Xin He, and then thought about it slightly, now that the southwest is in an emergency, the war will burn to the southern prison at any time, and he has to prepare early.

"It's getting late today, the inn is finally inconvenient, Brother Mu will have a good rest here, as for the dispatch of troops, it still needs to be considered in the long run!"

The fire had no temperature, and the night of the dust came very quickly, and it soon got dark.

Hearing Liu Fa say this, Mu Qingchen immediately raised his head, and sure enough, the sky was already dark, he was shocked, and immediately stood up, hugged his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, I won't bother Brother Liu, time is really fast, farewell!" ”

Liu Fa was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother Mu, just rest here tonight, why go back to the inn." ”

Mu Qingchen shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Liu, I'm here, it's always a lot of inconvenience, and my guards can't rest assured, so I don't let them live in, right?" ”

Liu Fa has never liked the residence to be too big, so he didn't move to the City Lord's Mansion, but this place is really a little small, hearing Mu Qingchen say this, Liu Fa also fell silent, this residence is not spacious, if Mu Qingchen lives in, it is nothing, if ** Wei comes in together, there is really no room.

"In this case, then I'll send Brother Mu!"

"No need, Brother Liu, Mr. Xin, stay, I'm leaving."

Mu Qingchen shook his head, and then walked out of the small courtyard, the ** guard outside the courtyard was restless, and when he saw Mu Qingchen coming out, his heart was relieved, and then they saw Liu Fa, and then they were all shocked, and immediately guessed some clues......

"Boom, Boom......"

The horse's hooves were lightly raised, and Mu Qingchen's group of seven people had gradually walked away, Liu Fa looked at Mu Qingchen's back, thoughtful.

Seeing Mu Qingchen walking away, Xin He was also relieved, and there were many things that were inconvenient to say, and he really had to speak freely at this time.

Mu Qingchen was also very good to Xin He in the past, but now Xin He is doing things by Liu Fa's side, listening to Liu Fa's call, and he has to think about Liu Fa in everything.

"What are the general's plans?"

Xin He looked at Liu Fa, took a step closer, and then said in a low voice.

"It's so cold, it's really freezing to death outside, let's go, go back, let's eat a warm pot, haha!"

Liu Fa did not answer Xin He's words, but laughed, and then entered the house in a hurry.

Xin He was a little speechless, he really couldn't guess what Liu Fan thought, shook his head, and then followed.

"It is not easy to transfer grain from the South Prison to the Dust Pass, not to mention the long distance, it is near, how much grain and grass can the South Prison bring to the Dust Pass, now the grain and grass in the army are exhausted, and the grain and grass are urgently needed, and more importantly, the war in the southwest is tight, it seems that it has nothing to do with us, but if the court does nothing, the southwest will soon be divided between the barbarians and Dali, and it will be our turn at that time, although it is not the time to send troops, but we still have to make a difference, as long as we have to drag it to the South Prison to relieve our breath!"

The fire candle in the hall has been raised, and the hall is also full of people at this time, Qing Yunfei, Lu Xuan, and Jiang Baiyan are all sitting aside, and Liu Fa asked Xin He to explain Mu Qingchen's intention to come to the dust to explain to everyone, and then clarified his opinion.

"Now that the South Prison has just been calmed, it is a serious injury, and it is in urgent need of recuperation, and it really can't withstand any wind and waves, but the situation is so changing, the war is about to burn to the South Prison, even if we want to be alone, I'm afraid it's impossible!"

Originally, a few people ate a warm pot together, but when they heard Xin He's words, everyone immediately lost their appetite.

"Now that the war is tight, we need to plan early, and things will change later. Okay, eat first, starve to death! ”

The hot pot was steaming, smelling the aroma, Liu Fa sniffled, picked up a piece of meat, and then said leisurely.

When everyone heard this, they all picked up their chopsticks, and when they smelled the fragrance, their appetite immediately increased, and they all rushed to eat it unceremoniously.

"It's finally time to be in Mangyuan!"

Liu Ao wore a felt hat and followed the team to the rear, the weather was getting colder and colder, even if he was riding, he was freezing to death, Ye Ruoxin was extremely distressed by Liu Ao, and immediately pulled him to the car, after all, there was also a stove on the car, and it was not very cold.

Bumpy all the way, finally arrived at Mangyuan, walked to Mangyuan, and it was not too far from the dust pass, An Shixian saw Nangong Zhifu swaggering into Mangyuan, as if he was in his own home, he was really annoyed in his heart, but at this moment, he still had to pile up a smile and come out to greet Nangong Zhifu.

"Haha, General Nangong has worked hard all the way, he is rude, his old body is not good, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and he hopes to forgive his sins!"

Ahn Shixian smiled reproachfully, as if it were true.

"Hehe, why did the old general say this, the general went out of the city to welcome me, it was already a big face!"

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, since An Shixian wants to be hypocritical and disgusting Nangong to control anger, Nangong control anger just endured disgusting and smiling face.

Inconvenient legs and feet, this old thing, it's really embarrassing to say!

When I saw him coming over just now, his body was flexible, and he looked half inconvenient.
