Xu Ruyu, who had a handsome face and a calm and relaxed face, walked into the big tent with a simple style of Su Iron Knife, stood under the hall, looked left and right, and hesitated. Wu Cheng was about to get up to greet him, but Xu Ruyu's gaze stopped. Shao Haitang, Zhang Zhongdao, Fang Su and the others just glanced up, but they were busy.

Kou Zichan sent Wu Cheng to deliver documents to Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu also knew that Kou Zichan had the intention of recommending Wu Cheng, so he let Wu Cheng stay by his side.

Although there is no need to avoid ordinary military discussions, he does not know anything about Jiangning's real deployment on the north bank of the river.

Jiangning is on the north bank of the river, with the Qingwei Army and the Zhongli Army in Cuiping Mountain and Guangling as the horns, and then the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses who crossed the river north with Xu Ruyu are divided into three places and stationed in the depths of Yongyang and Baishi.

The camps in those three places were heavily guarded, in order to prevent the spying and infiltration of the camps by the scouts of the East China Sea, Si Wencao dispatched almost all the shadow warriors, not only that, but also sent the Qingfeng cavalry to the periphery of the camp to act as a guard, and entering the camp was strictly controlled.

In stark contrast, Xu Ruyu set up his tent in the wilderness between Cuiping Mountain and Guangling. To the west of Guangling, there are some remnant hills of dozens of zhang, remnant hills and bare rocks, and the shallow valley is lush with some grass and trees, Xu Ruyu set up the handsome tent in one of the shallow valleys, but the escort is only the five hundred elite horsemen led by Jiehai.

The rangers frequently came and went, and military intelligence from all over the country converged here, and the guerrilla detectives in the East China Sea could judge that this place was Jiangning's military center on the north bank of the river with a little brain. If you sneak into reconnaissance again, you will find that the troops here are empty, if the East China Sea sends an elite surprise attack, and the nearest army is **ten miles away, what should you do?

Wu Cheng hid such a question, but he didn't have a chance to ask, but Shao Haitang, Zhang Zhongdao, Fang Su, Zhao Jingyun and others were busy with their own affairs, but they didn't worry about it.

Xu Ruyu walked to the sand table in the center of the big tent, his eyes were clear, and his eyes were full of great ambition.

The extra-large East China Sea topographic sand table records the main rivers and hills, military barriers and cities in the East China Sea and the surrounding areas in detail, and the military strength of the East China Sea is also recorded in great detail, but what makes Wu Cheng puzzled is that the soldiers and horses led by Chen Yu and Zhang Jidao are identified by two completely different colors.

The elite of the North Line of the East China Sea under the command of Zhang Jidao started from Pengcheng, went south along the vortex to Linhuai for repair, and then went down along the Huaishui, passing through Zedang, an important town in the northwest of Zehu, and went south along the west bank of Zehu, passing through Xinfeng, and then turning eastward to enter the core area of Donghai County.

Xu Ruyu's eyes stared at the route of the soldiers and horses of the northern line led by Zhang Jidao on the sand table, without saying a word, and his body was as dignified as a hill. The messenger cavalry frequently entered and exited the big tent, constantly reporting the positions of soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the East China Sea.

Zhao Jingyun made a mark on the direction where Yiyang was located, and said: "The Yuzha cavalry battalion arrived in Yiyang around the time of Shen yesterday, and Zhang Jidao personally led the main force of the infantry battalion to arrive at Kuiyangji in the south of Qichuan at that time. His hand tapped in the direction of Kuiyang.

Kuiyang is sixty miles south of Qichuan and one hundred and forty miles away from Yiyang.

Wu Cheng thought: Yiyang is only more than 200 miles away from here, and it can be reached day and night. He said in a low voice: "The Yuha cavalry camp is gone, and the military information obtained is all from before last night, maybe it has sneaked across the border at this time, and the adults are here, Wu Cheng thinks that something is wrong." ”

Xu Ruyu glanced sideways at him and said with a smile: "Zhang Jidao sent elite horses to attack, and we fled when we heard the news, and it is not a shameful thing." After the disbandment of the Qingfeng Jingqi, Zhang Jidao went through a lot of hardships to bring the Yuza cavalry into his pocket, and I don't know if he was reluctant to let the Yuza cavalry take this risk. ”

Zhao Jingyun said: "Although the shadow warrior is useless, it can also warn in advance, and the East China Sea guerrilla detective cannot penetrate into the inner layer, just if this is still a big camp, it just keeps sending grain and grass here, which consumes some manpower, and Lord Xu has a lot of complaints." ”

Xu Ruyu glanced at Wu Cheng, returned to the topic just now, and said: "When the Yuha cavalry battalion entered Qichuan, it accelerated its marching speed, and it marched two hundred miles in two days, but the marching speed of the main force of the infantry battalion slowed down, and it only took sixty miles in two days, Zhang Jidao was really leisurely. ”

Zhao Jingyun said: "Zhang Jidao used the excuse of the road on the east bank of Jinshui and the southwest of Yixing to block the influx of displaced people, and Chen was forced by the pressure of our army to agree to Zhang Jidao's request to lead the soldiers and horses of the northern front to borrow the road from the central part of the East China Sea. This move is tantamount to putting actual control of the East China Sea in the hands of Zhang Jidao. The power of a county, Zhang Jidao really has to understand it. ”

Xu Ruyu chuckled lightly and said: "Zhang Jidao wants to really control the East China Sea, and Chen Pre is willing to do it, the soldiers and horses on the northern front are only transiting, and they can't be stationed in Yan, and the control of these areas is still in Chen Pre's hands." He asked again, "Is there any change in Jiangjin?" ”

Zhao Jingyun said: "Jiangning's foundation is in the south of the Yangtze River, Jiangning and the East China Sea are competing on the north bank of the river, if Jiangning is defeated, it will not hurt the foundation, and the East China Sea will be defeated, Jiangning will be able to take advantage of the situation, and the Yi family naturally hopes that Jiangning will be defeated and the East China Sea will win." However, Zhang Jidao's successful capture of Pengcheng made the northern border of the East China Sea temporarily stable and worry-free, and Chen Pre and Zhang Jidao also temporarily stopped the internal dispute. ”

"What about those people in Jingnan?"

"Since Yuan Longyi returned from Jiangning, the people of Jingnan have been in frequent contact with Linxiang, the Fengling camp has slowed down its march to the west, and the main forces of all the armies have stayed on the west bank of the Qingjiang River to repair, but Huo Qingtong is anxious."

Xu Ruyu snorted lightly and said: "What's the use of Huo Qingtong's eagerness, if he wants to go back to Jingxiang, he needs to agree on Jiangjin's borrowing of the Tao, will Yi Fengchen easily lend him the Tao?" ”

"Mr. Ziyang just sent a letter to the Huo family, and the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Huo family returned to Jingxiang through Jiangjin, and Yi Fengchen asked the grain and grass of the Huo family to be supplied by Jiangjin, and then Jiangning made up for it. And designated Huo's soldiers and horses to march along the mountain trail at the southern foot of Heng Mountain. ”

Xu Ruyu thought for a few breaths, exhaled lightly, and said: "Huo Qingtong can't bring his own grain and grass, so he can't endanger Jiangjin, but there is a pass at the southern foot of Hengshan, and Lingfengjing can send troops from Qichun to attack it, Huo Qingtong naturally won't agree to such harsh conditions." ”

Zhao Jingyun said: "Jiang Jin is afraid of Jiang Ning more than Nanping, but he is afraid that he will not let go easily, Yi Fengchen is cautious, and he is also worried that Jiang Ning is in the middle." ”

Xu Ruyu raised his head and said with a smile: "Am I so suspicious? ”

Zhao Jingyun put back the smile in his eyes and said seriously: "If I am in Jiangjin and have Jiang Ning by my side, I will only be more cautious and never dare to take it lightly." ”

Shao Haitang was reading a document, and when he heard this, he also laughed.

Wu Cheng was also surprised when he saw it, Shao Haitang and the others didn't say a word, but they saw Shao Haitang standing up and raising the military information from Qinchuan in his hand, and said: "Gu Shida really doesn't want to withdraw from Qinzhou just now, and fight back against the pursuing coalition forces of the Qinchuan family in Nanyou and Chencang, and they will damage each other. Gu Shida's move was obviously influenced by the news that Hulan Tieqi crossed the river and defeated the Taoling camp of displaced people. ”

Wu Cheng was surprised: Gu Shida did not withdraw from Qinzhou, it would only help Xun Zhuwu consolidate his power in Qinzhou, the great enemy was current, the Qinzhou family weighed the benefits and disadvantages, and the only choice was Xun Zhuwu, not to mention that Xun Zhuwu still had the edict of King Qin in his hand. There is another male lord in the northwest, but what is there to laugh at Shao Haitang?

Xu Ruyu took the silk book handed over by Shao Haitang, and said while reading: "In this way, it can be judged that Hulan will give up Qingzhou and take Fenjun and Qinzhou first." ”

Shao Haitang nodded and said: "The general trend of the world is a foregone conclusion, but Jiangning and Nanping are the first to border, and I don't know whether it is happy or worried." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Jiangning's rise has not been frustrated, and it is fortunate that it has encountered a great enemy early. ”

Shao Haitang said with a smile: "But it is you who are calm and unhurried. ”

Xu Ruyu sighed lightly and said: "Rong Yanmen has not encountered a defeat in his life, and Jiang Ning's fierce opponents are also afraid to be careless. Rong Yanmen led the army west to conquer Chongqing, was blocked outside the city, and was not allowed to continue to advance to the northwest, the world only as Wu and Luo's coalition army effectively curbed the fierce offensive of the Nanping West Expeditionary Army, but I thought Rong Yanmen had other plans. In mid-September, Rong Yanmen ordered his general Yuan Xun to send an envoy to Jiangning, and it can be seen that Rong Yanmen also intended to suspend the offensive. ”

Shao Haitang glanced at Wu Cheng intentionally or unintentionally, but said: "A hundred years of success and wealth are like hills, which is coveted." ”

Wu Qingyi and Wu Cheng were born in the Chengyu Wu clan, which is no longer a secret, Xu Ruyu often asks Wu Cheng about the scenery of Chengyu, but he doesn't ask about the Wen Taowu strategy in his belly.

Xu Ruyu said: "Yuanrong is fighting internally, and Rong Yanmen can't hide it. After the capture of Chengyu, Rong Yanmen wanted to lead the army to open up other battlefields, even if Rong Yanmen designated people to clean up the situation in Chengyu, but the remnants of Chengyu would be more willing to throw themselves into the Yuan Zhen line. It was probably because of this concern that the offensive was slowed down. ”

Shao Haitang smiled slightly and said, "That's the case, Yuan Zhen will be even more worried." ”

Hengyue Mountain is the remaining vein of Hengshan Mountain System on the south bank of the river, the height is less than 100 zhang, but the mountains and peaks are stacked for nearly 100 miles, the west of Xiangcheng is protected, the west is like a belt of Xiangshui, the stone bones of Linglu Peak are beautiful, Qin Ziqing wears a green coat and a cotton jacket, sits on the dangerous rock, and looks at the boat fire above the Xiangshui under the peak.

Ji Siqian stood with his hands in his hands, and the evening breeze blew the robe back slightly, but the white hair on the back of his neck did not flutter.

Yuan Gongchen stood under the dangerous rock, narrowed his slender eyes and looked at the two people on the rock, and said: "The holy car has been in the mountain gate for a long time, Ji Dazong, you can say something." ”

Ji Siqian glanced at Qin Ziqing, and seeing that he was indifferent, he also closed his eyes and said nothing, allowing Yuan Gongchen to scratch his ears and cheeks under the rock.

Xia condensation water flows through the Linglu Peak, a towering bluestone archway stands in the west of the water, a middle-aged man wearing a snow-white crown and a snow-white brocade robe raised his feet and walked in, a boy grabbed his sleeve, did not let him go in: "Without the master's instructions, no one can enter the mountain gate." ”

The middle-aged man waved his sleeves, and there was a cracking sound, and the boy dragged a piece of sleeve "Oh Oo" and took a few steps back, hitting the stone foundation on the side, his forehead cracked, and blood burst out.

When the middle-aged man saw that the boy could tear his sleeves, he was annoyed, opened his eyes and glared, and scolded: "When will this mountain gate stop my steps?" After looking at Shuidong's servant, he thought about it and said, "You are waiting here." ”

The boy didn't dare to stop him, but followed him up the mountain, and saw the three of them sitting or standing or up and down the dangerous rock, all of them were silent and looked weird, and couldn't help laughing, and forgot the hot pain in his forehead. ”

Ji Sixian's eyes were like lightning, falling on the middle-aged man's face, and he said indifferently: "Since this mountain gate can't stop your footsteps, come when you should come, and go when you should go." "Then close your eyes and ignore him.

The middle-aged man didn't expect him to hear what he said at the foot of the mountain, his expression became restrained, and he said: "I waited for a long time, but I really couldn't hold my surname, so I rushed to the mountain gate, and I hope that Master Ji will be punished." ”

Ji Siqian snorted and ignored him. The middle-aged man said again: "A certain person is eager for talents, and his heart is anxious, and he hopes that Master Ji will understand." ”

Ji Siji said: "Jiangning is prosperous, and it should be Rong Yanmen who is anxious, you can be your emperor with peace of mind, why do you need to work so hard?" ”

The middle-aged man's eyes widened angrily, and he didn't seem to be able to hide too much righteous indignation in his tone: "Others can still pretend not to know, why did Master Ji bother to make fun of Yuan Zhen?" The dignified emperor, but he is just a chess piece on the catalpa of others, looking at the past and present, who is willing to be someone else's chess piece? ”

Qin Ziqing glanced sideways at the middle-aged man, but when he met, he had a fanatical look, and he was slightly startled, and his gaze fell away.

Ji Siqian said: "What if you are unwilling? Looking to the west, "As long as that person is alive, you can only rest assured that the Emperor of Linxiang will be on the throne." ”

Yuan Zhen said: "As long as there is no internal strife, the edict of the heavenly machine will not be ignored." Rong Yanmen is in Chengyu for more than a month, and the last inch of land is entered, and others only regard Wu and Luo as two strong families, but I know that he is supporting forces loyal to him in Chengdu, and when he falls into the whole territory of Chengyu, let me give him the throne, what can I do? ”

Ji Siqian said: "What can you do now? ”

Yuan Zhen turned sideways but bowed to Qin Ziqing and said, "Please teach me?" ”

Qin Ziqing looked at Ji Siqian and said, "I'm in Jiangning, and I can still survive my life, why should Ji Dazong harm my surname?" He got up and was about to walk to the place, but he heard Yuan Gongchen shouting: "Brother Qin, slow down, Gongchen returned to Linxiang with a picture scroll from Jiangning, please take a look." ”

Qin Ziqing turned his head to look, but saw that in the twilight, Wu Qingyi was about to walk down from the picture scroll. Qin Ziqing was electrocuted, but he never expected that the danqing that Xu Ruyu showed him at the bow of the boat would appear in Yuan Gongchen's hands.
