Ying Xun looked at the horse that galloped over in a hurry, the blood in his body was almost boiling, and said: "Not long after Xu Ruyu led his troops to cross Xia'axi, the East China Sea was defeated. ”

Xu Jingcheng glanced at Ying Xun, who was eager to try, thinking that he was also keen on killing when he was a teenager, he was not afraid, sighed lightly, and was about to say something, when footsteps sounded behind him, and there was no need to look back, and Ying Mingyu, who was known to be the father of Xu'er, came behind him.

Ying Mingyu is over fifty years old, with a long beard and chin, a clear face, a blazing eye, a green robe, but a little elegant, walked to Xu Jingcheng's side, looked at the galloping horse with hooves and snow, and said: "Chen Yu is defeated in a daze. ”

Xu Jingcheng smiled slightly and said: "Back then, I fought with Xu Ruyu in Lishui, and I couldn't afford to look down on him ......" Speaking of this, he chuckled twice, "The hidden dragon hides the abyss, you can't speculate, Chen Yu is so defeated, I'm not surprised." ”

"Jing Cheng thinks Xu Ru is a fool and a hero?"

Xu Jingcheng was slightly stunned, glanced sideways at Ying Mingyu, and in the distance, his wife Ying Su'er was walking towards this side with her young son in her arms, which must have also alarmed the dozens of galloping horses passing by. Xu Jingcheng's eyes revealed a trace of confusion, and said: "I have read a lot of history over the years, and there are many murderers with benevolence and righteousness as their face. Where is it so easy to distinguish between a brilliant person and a heroic person? ”

"Regardless of Xu Ru's foolish heroes and heroes, their intentions are in the world, and it is already a foregone conclusion. The world is divided into four parts, and I would prefer Xu Ruyu to sit in the world. ”

Xu Jingcheng was taken aback by his wife's words, turned his head, and asked, "Why did you say this?" ”

Ying Yun'er said: "The eldest brother and father pay attention to Xu Ruyu's surname, but they have the idea of becoming a leader in their hearts? ”

Ying Mingyu coughed lightly and said: "Yun'er is a heroine among women, and she is not as good as a father." ”

Xu Jingcheng smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to deny it.

Ying Yun'er looked at Xu Jingcheng, her eyes showed affection, and said: "Big brother is bright and fair, you should know what to do and what you can't do." Xu Ruyu is the lord of Jiangning, and asked his surname, he needs to watch Jiangning's political affairs, and the eldest brother thinks that there is something wrong with Jiangning's politics? ”

Xu Jingcheng and Ying Mingyu looked at each other and smiled, but did not answer.

Ying Yun'er said: "Hulan's hooves are remnants of the north, Xu Ruyu doesn't want to contact all families to resist foreign insults, but instead raises troops in the East China Sea, and the eldest brother sees it as a big mistake?" ”

Xu Jingcheng said: "Compared with the invasion more than 60 years ago, this foreign disaster is more ferocious. ”

Ying Yun'er said: "Last year, Hulan entered Kou Youji, where are the soldiers in the East China Sea? ”

Xu Jingcheng was stunned: Hulan entered Kou Youji, and Zhang Jidao besieged Pengcheng with elite soldiers in the East China Sea, causing the Qingzhou soldiers to be unable to aid Youji.

Ying Yun'er handed the toddler in her arms to Ying Xun, and said while squatting down: "This battle is strange, hasn't the eldest brother understood it yet?" ”

Xu Jingcheng leaned down to look down, but saw Ying Yun'er drawing horizontally on a pile of residual snow with her delicate jade fingers, and in an instant, a topographic map of Donghai County appeared on the residual snow.

Ying Yun'er's hand fell on the position of Yiyang City, and said: "Liu Zhaoyu led the main force of the East China Sea did not dare to avoid Longyou, but went to Yiyang, and the eldest brother knew that he was for that?" ”

Xu Jingcheng said: "Zhang Zhongdao led 40,000 elites in Jiangning to besiege Xinzi, if Xinzi falls, Longyou may also be besieged, not only Liu Zhaoyu does not dare to avoid Longyou City, but I am afraid that Wan Rong is also thinking about escaping from this place as soon as possible." ”

Ying Yun'er said: "Jiangning has captured Xinzi, Wan Rong will abandon the city and leave, except to go east to meet Zhang Jidao, Wan Rong has no other way to retreat." Jiangning captured Xinzi, how did the eldest brother think Zeng Yixing of Dingyuan would react? ”

"Abandon Dingyuan and avoid the Pilgrims. Ah......h

Xu Jingcheng was shocked, Zeng Yi marched to retreat to Biling, Liu Zhaoyu entered Yiyang, and will control the two provinces of Biling and Tairu in the central part of Donghai County, while Zhang Jidao and Wan Rong's two troops and horses are in the south of Tairu.

Zhang Jidao painstakingly ran Yixing Mansion, and then sought the military power of the East China Sea Battalion Army, which could not be described as unsuccessful. If the troops are stranded in the southern border of the East China Sea, far away from Yixing Mansion, which has been in operation for many years, the situation is very bad.

"Xu Ruyu is making a big move, but the intention is here?" Xu Jingcheng's eyes were even more puzzled, "Chen Pre was surrounded in the southeast of Fangshan Mountain, how to untie this knot?" ”

"We can see that Xu Ruyu's intention to raise troops is to prevent Zhang Jidao from seeking to seize the East China Sea, because we are outsiders, and outsiders are clear-sighted. At this time, I couldn't see it clearly, and I was very stupid. ”

Ying Mingyu laughed and said, "There are more children than men." ”

Ying Jun'erjun's face turned red, but when he saw Xu Jingcheng's face hesitating, he muttered to himself: "Maybe it's ...... on the Western Front."

Ying Ming Yu said loudly: "Zhang Zhongdao trapped 40,000 elite soldiers in a new posture, and said that he could go down, Zeng Yi walked to avoid the tomb, and the road to the south of the east bank of Jinshui and the displaced people to the south will be opened, and Xu Ruyu has no reason to refuse the displaced people outside Jiangning." I want to meet this world-famous general Qingfeng. ”

Ying Yun'er said: "What if you guess wrong? ”

Xu Ruyu did not want to "block Zhang Jidao to take the East China Sea", and the displaced people drowned in the East China Sea, which was very beneficial to Jiangning, how could Xu Ruyu agree to the displaced people going south and share the pressure of the East China Sea.

Xu Jingcheng resolutely said: "If you guess wrong, you must also ask for the lives of the displaced people." ”

Ying Jing insisted on accompanying him, and Xu Jingcheng was not worried about staying alone in the camp of the homeless people. At this time, Fan Yanyu of Yuhang Army led 10,000 elite soldiers and Meiliting soldiers to join the army, cruising in the west of Longyou, Shen Yi led 10,000 elites to station in Guangling, Wan Rong was only worried that Jiangning came to besiege the city, and did not dare to drive the troops out of the city activities, and the displaced people gathered in the southwest of Longyou, on the north bank of the Xiaoyang River, and they were not afraid that the soldiers in Longyou City would come out to disturb.

The four of them brought horses and a toddler to the direction of Qingchi Fangshan.

Liu Zhaoyu led the troops to withdraw from Qingchi, and Chen Pre led more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the southern camp to break off.

The soldiers and horses of the East China Sea are no less than Jiangning, but the soldiers of the East China Sea are scattered in many places, and the Jiangning soldiers are gathered in one place, and the East China Sea has no chance of victory.

Jiangning's 140,000 soldiers and horses were near Baishi, Zhang Zhongdao trapped 40,000 elite soldiers in Xinzi, and Mei Liting sent 30,000 elite soldiers to the east of Baishi and Longyou to the west. Xu Ruyu personally led 40,000 soldiers and horses to trap Chen Zhuan's camp army in the plains southeast of Fangshan Mountain, and Fan Wenlong sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to respond on the periphery.

Xu Jingcheng wanted to come to see Xu Ruyu, and in Longyou, he first contacted Mei Liting. Mei Liting sent a young general and several elite horsemen to lead them to Qingchi, and they were very convenient along the way.

The young general, the same size as Ying Xun, had a red silk scarf tied around his neck, a silver spear hanging from the side of the blue-maned horse, a flowing cloud sword at his waist, and bright light armor, but the face that let the owl helmet cover the little half was indifferent to his age, and there was sadness in his eyes.

The young general didn't like words, Ying Xun only knew that his name was Cai Jingluo, and he didn't know anything else, and he didn't pay attention to him when he talked to him along the way. Xu Jingcheng saw that he was still young, but his cultivation was much higher than Ying Xun, and he thought that maybe he was a direct descendant of the Cai family, but he didn't expect that he would be Cai Yi's youngest son.

Ying Xun studied martial arts roughly, and it was not until Xu Jingcheng and Ying Yun'er met that he had the opportunity to practice the superior Dan Breath Technique, but in the past two years, the progress has been extremely fast.

Xu Jingcheng and others rode their horses into the territory of Qingchi, only to see the camp on the north bank of Xia'a Creek, and the sentinels cruising back and forth were endless.

Xu Jingcheng looked at Shao Haitang leading more than ten generals to greet him, slightly stunned, and hurriedly got off with everyone.

Shao Haitang greeted him and said: "Ruyu is now in Qingzhuyan, and I will return at night, let me and Zisu, Ziyang, and Jingyun come to greet Mr. Ying and Jingcheng first." ”

Fang Su, Zi Yangqiu, and Zhao Jingyun stepped forward to greet Ying Mingyu, Xu Jingcheng and others. Xu Jingcheng thought about all kinds of situations before he came, but he didn't expect to meet Shilong in the club, and he was a little panicked for a while.

When entering the middle camp, more than ten horses galloped from the west, and the dust rolled up, and the future people were wrapped in it, and they couldn't see clearly. can gallop in front of the middle camp, and there is a fine guard to protect him, and the identity of the person who comes is about to come out.

Xu Ruyu turned over and dismounted, ignored the mount, and walked over quickly, and said loudly as he walked: "Fortunately, I can come in time to greet you, Ruyu has seen Mr. Ying, Jing Cheng, and Mrs. Sister-in-law." "Seven or eight paces apart, turn around and bow.

Xu Ruyu is the lord of the southeast, as soon as they meet, they will give this great gift, even the indifferent Ying Mingyu was greatly moved; Xu Jingcheng was a little at a loss.

Ying Yun'er said secretly: The enmity in the eldest brother's heart has long been lost, but he is just obsessed with his face and the obsession in his heart, and he can't meet the old man, Xu Ruyu treats him like this, and then speaks to keep it, I'm afraid that the eldest brother can't refuse. Thinking of this, he took the corner of his eye and looked at Xu Ruyu carefully, but he felt that he was handsome and elegant, with a convincing bearing, and he was like a spring breeze, without a sense of aggression. thought that the eldest brother had been frustrated in his hands several times, but his bearing gradually approached him. I thought: The eldest brother can be regarded as a temporary hero, but he is imperceptibly influenced by him, which shows his extraordinary.

Xu Ruyu said: "Mei Liting's letter mentioned that Mr. Ying and Jing Cheng restrained the displaced people in Longyou and gave convenience to our army, and Ruyu thanked him here. ”

Ying Mingyu only said that it should be done here, and it should not be honored, Shao Haitang asked about the Longyou homeless people, Ying Mingyu answered one by one, but he was not in a hurry to find out the intention, and everyone walked to the middle camp side by side. Shao Haitang is currently personally lifting the curtain for Ying Mingyu and Xu Jingcheng, but he heard several horsemen running and kicking like thunder, galloping from afar, and so far Zhongying Yuanmen did not slow down, and the people shouted in their mouths: "Wuzhou six hundred miles urgent." ”

Shao Haitang was startled, raised his hand over his shoulder, stopped there, and turned his head to look out.

Zhao Jingyun hurriedly got down the steps of the loess tamping, took the urgent letter from Liyang Wuzhou from the messenger, opened it and hurriedly read it, his face was already very bad.

Xu Ruyu took the secret letter from Zhao Jingyun's hand, his face became solemn, he handed the letter to Shao Haitang, and said, "Mr. Ziyang temporarily took Mr. Ying and Jingcheng to the side tent to rest. Xiang Ying Mingyu, Xu Jingcheng and others hugged their hands and said, "I'm slacking." "Let's go into the tent first.

Ying Mingyu, Xu Jingcheng, Ying Jun'er, Ying Jing followed Zi Yangqiu, and Cai Jingluo into the partial tent for a while. Ying Yun'er said secretly: The urgent secret letter came from Wuzhou, and as the eldest brother expected, there was an accident on the west line of Jiangning. It's just that Xu Ruyu's face changed slightly when he saw this letter at first glance, and he could see that the changes on the western front were beyond the expectations of everyone in Jiangning. It's just that Zi Yangqiu and Cai Jingluo were present, so it was inconvenient to talk about it, so they just looked at their father and Jing Cheng.

The urgent secret letter can make Xu Ruyu, Shao Haitang, Zhao Jingyun and others lose their square inches for a while, but it can be seen that the change is huge, Zi Yangqiu is also restless in the partial tent, and has a dry conversation with Ying Mingyu and Xu Jingcheng, and walks out under the pretext of asking for news. After a while, he came over, his face became more and more worried, and when he saw Ying Mingyu, Xu Jingcheng and others looking inquired and inconvenient to speak, he sighed and said, "When the news can't be concealed for a long time, it doesn't hurt for me to tell Mr. Ying?" ”

"Nanping sent troops?"

Ying Mingyu or Xu Jingcheng guessed that Zi Yangqiu was not surprised, but unexpectedly, this beautiful little woman told this change, which made Zi Yangqiu couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

Zi Yangqiu nodded and said, "Yuan Zhen came to Yuzhang in person, sent 100,000 troops, and invaded Jingbei in three ways. At that time, Huo's 40,000 army was crossing the river to the north, wanting to return Jingxiang, Nanping all the way to the water camp people upstream, across the river boat formation, rout, and landed to invade Pengze, Jiangning first stationed in Pengze 2,000 elites were annihilated, few escaped: Nanping all the way out of Raocheng, Jiangning first stationed in Raocheng 4,000 elites were forced to abandon the city; Nanping soldiers along the edge of the Jingnan Mountains, sneaked to the west foot of Jingshan Mountain, and blocked the mountain pass road where Jingshan was connected with Dongping, Yiyang, Wuyuan and other cities. Su Wei Captain Ban Zhaolin is leading the troops across the Yiyang Pass, and when he is ambushed, 6,000 elites, only half of them retreat, and the squad general is seriously injured, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead. I first stationed troops and horses in Dongping, Yiyang, Wuyuan and other places, plus the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Raocheng, a total of more than 14,000 elites were trapped in a narrow area west of Jingshan and east of Pengli Lake. Zi Yangqiu sighed slightly and said, "If these fourteen thousand elites and the two generals Xiao Wuye and Li Gonglin can't be rescued, then the establishment of the Su Guard Army will no longer exist." ”

The area west of Jingshan and east of Pengli Lake is quite narrow, and Jingshan, Jingnan Mountain, and Pengli Lake at the junction of Liyang and Jingbei are surrounded in the middle, and there are small plains near Pengli Lake, and Pengze is near the river.

If you want to enter this area from Jiangning, one is to trace the river upstream, land from Pengze, or enter Pengyuan Lake, and the other is to go west from Jingshan Pass.

However, Pengze and Jiangzhou, the two important cities at the mouth of Pengli Lake, were in the hands of Nanping, and if the trapped soldiers and horses were rescued from the waterway, even if they could succeed, the casualties would be very heavy. However, the price to be paid for the Jingshan Pass with Nanping may not be small.

Xu Ruyu rose to Qingjiang, and the first elite division formed was the Su Guard Army, if the Su Guard Army was overthrown in Jingbei, the blow to Jiangning would be self-evident.
