――Text――

Late that night, the Fucheng Gate of Jijing slowly opened with a loud rumbling noise, and dozens of horsemen drove out of it, hurrying towards the north, looking at the anxious faces of the cavalry who were straddled on the saddle, thinking that it was for something important.

"These dozens of horsemen are clearly heading in the direction of Boling."

In the tent of the main division of the Jizhou Army, Xie An and Li Shou, Li Xian, Liang Qiu Gong, Lu Gong and other important figures of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered together, and talked with laughter during the period.

"It's ironclad...... Eight Sages King Li Xian smiled slightly, and immediately, he seemed to think of something, plucked the tea bowl with his hand, and deliberately pretended to be casual and said softly, "Lord Xie, the plan of the second lady Changsun clan is really clever, and Li Mao has been bolted to death in Jijing with his actions, but it is just ...... This seems to make General Liang Qiu a little unpleasant......" Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Li Xian is worthy of being Li Xian, as a senior sister and brother who studied the art of war and strategy under the Yingong Sect with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, his intelligence and scheming are not inferior to the heroic concubine, so that the deep meaning of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's strategy design has not escaped Li Xian's eyes at all.

"Oh?" Xie An was stunned when he heard this, he seemed to understand the deep meaning of Li Xian's words, turned the teacup in his hand, and said solemnly after thinking about it, "Xiangyu...... It's not going to hurt Mai'er! ”

"How so?" A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Xian's eyes.

Xie An shook his head slightly, and after a long breath, he said with a smile, "Unlike me, an ordinary man, Xiangyu longs for a strong opponent in chess...... If Xiao Wu is really unlucky, I am afraid that the most uncomfortable people include Xiangyu...... Her actions were just to motivate Liu Qing's girl......"

As he spoke, Xie An couldn't help but think of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's eyes shining and excited when he learned that there was Liu Qing, a female military advisor comparable to her intelligence, in the Taiping Army, and smiled slightly.

Li Xian couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and after looking at Xie An for a few moments, he finally let out a long sigh, nodded with sincere admiration and said, "At the beginning of the eldest grandson's mansion, Xiao Wang asked Lord Xie if he knew about the second lady of the eldest grandson, at that time, Lord Xie said that he understood, but Xiao Wang didn't think so, now it seems that Lord Xie really knows better than Xiao Wang......" Speaking of this, a touch of inexplicable loss flashed in Li Xian's eyes.

[This guy can't give up yet, right?] ]

Xie An looked at Li Xian strangely, and seeing that his face was full of loss, he kindly persuaded, "Isn't Your Highness also knowing Xiangyu's personality and knowing that she will never frame Wu'er, so he deliberately said it, so as to test the mansion?" ”

"Hehe......" Li Xian chuckled a few words with a bit of bitterness, and said no more.

At this time, Li Shou, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, saw that Li Xian and Xie An had finished talking, and couldn't help but ask about the concerns in his heart.

"I don't think that the eldest grandson will frame my own people, but if I ask General Liao Li to lead a few thousand horsemen to help General Liangqiu and help him get out of trouble, does this seem a bit child's play?"

It's no wonder that Li Shou said this, after all, he didn't know Liu Qing, and naturally there was no way to know that Liu Qing was the first person who had almost forced Changsun Xiangyu into a desperate situation so far, except for Liang Qiu Wu, so that the latter had to take risks to win.

Let the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who has always pursued stability, force the soldiers to make dangerous moves, you can imagine Liu Qing's ability!

At least, Xie An is quite sure of Liu Qing's talent, but because it involves the safety of Liang Qiuwu, the wife of his Xie family, even Xie An, who has been accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves over the years, was also worried by Li Shou's words.

"May it all go well......"

As Xie An and others guessed, the dozens of cavalry that quietly came out of the capital of Hebei were heading in the direction of Boling, and they wanted to follow the orders of Li Mao, the lord of Yan, to convey the new instructions of His Royal Highness to the supreme commander of the 60,000 Northern Xinjiang Army in Boling, the general Yang Ling.

However, going to Boling will inevitably pass through the location of the first partial division of the Jizhou Army of Fei Guo, fortunately, Fei Guo has already received Xie An's note in advance, so it is not difficult to scout for the dozens of Yuyang Iron Cavalry, otherwise, with the strict defense of the Fei Army, I am afraid that even a mouse will not be asked to drill through, let alone dozens of big living people.

Because of Fei Guo's deliberate release of water, the dozens of scouts of Yuyang Iron Cavalry passed through Fei Guo's pass without danger, and arrived at the main camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the Boling region two days later, and informed Yang Ling of Li Mao's latest instructions.

"Storm Boling and snipe Yan Huji?"

When Yang Ling received this order from his lord Yan King Li Mao, he was so shocked that he stood up abruptly in his chair and looked at the letter in his hand with a dumbfounded expression.

[You can't be wrong, this strong and domineering pen is indeed from the handwriting of His Royal Highness......]

After reading the letter with only a few numbers written on it a few times, Yang Ling stroked his beard, and was a little surprised in his heart.

You must know that the reason why he stayed in Boling was also due to Li Mao's order, which prompted Yang Ling to lead 60,000 soldiers from the northern frontier to besiege Boling to the death, without giving Liang Qiuwu a chance to break through.

But it was just to besiege Boling and restrict Liangqiu Dance, after all, Li Mao, the king of Yan, had secretly told him before, don't persecute too much and harm Liangqiu Dance's life.

This is the real reason why Yang Ling's 60,000 northern Xinjiang army besieged Boling for several months, but never saw the fall of Boling.

It's not that Liang Qiu Wu is so strong that he can ignore the advantage in the number of soldiers on both sides, and the 3,000 cavalry of the Eastern Army of Boling alone can block the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Yang Ling, the general of Northern Xinjiang, but the latter deliberately released the water.

Suddenly, Yang Ling asked the Yuyang cavalry scout who delivered the letter in a deep voice, "Your Highness's attack on Jijing is not smooth?" ”

The scout who delivered the letter was stunned, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly recounted what had happened in the past few days.

"I see!" Yang Ling suddenly realized when he heard this, stroked his beard and nodded slightly, and said with a little smile, "I really can't imagine that with those five tigers by His Highness's side, he would fall into such a field...... was played around by a girl! ”

As soon as the words fell, a subordinate general in the tent interjected with a sneer, "What five tigers, in the eyes of the last general, they are just five rats!" A group of brave and unscrupulous reckless men are also worthy of fighting those Saibei barbarians on the grassland who don't know the art of war at all! ”

"Tian Kai!" Yang Ling frowned slightly when he heard this, snorted lightly, and then stroked his beard and said calmly, "Don't say that, among the five tigers in Northern Xinjiang, Cao Da, Le Xu, and Zhang Qi are all good generals who are good at commanding cavalry......

The general named Tian Kai sighed when he heard this, and said with a wry smile, "It is the old general's conniving attitude that makes those juniors climb on the head of the old general, when His Royal Highness King Yan and Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Wu led the Eastern Army to the Northern Expedition to Wairong, the old general was the first to lead the remnants of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, at that time, where did you come from, Zhang Qi, Cao Da, and Le Xu and those juniors?!" Speaking of this, he snorted and said with a little dissatisfaction, "When His Highness first arrived in Yuyang, who was the one who helped His Highness to gain a firm foothold in Yuyang?" It's you, the old general! Now it's a good thing, the old general, as one of the biggest heroes of my northern Xinjiang, actually retreated to the second line, and instead asked those juniors to show off their might! ”

"That's His Highness's compassion for the old man, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Ling solemnly accused, but his words revealed a certain sadness.

Feng Tang is easy to be old, Lian Po is late, and no matter how brave the generals are, they can't escape the old man after all, even Liang Qiugong, who was called the first fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty thirty years ago, has also retreated to the second line in the early years, and let his granddaughter Liang Qiuwu inherit the Eastern Army? What's more, his reputation is far inferior to Yang Ling, who is not as famous as Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong?

However, as long as a general who has been fighting horses all his life, how many of them are willing to give up the blood they once had and are willing to take a back seat? Although this sentence clarifies the fate of the general on the battlefield, it is not the long-cherished wish of some generals?

It is not just the thoughts of a few generals to die vigorously on the battlefield before they are old and useless, rather than to be sick and breathe on the bed in the future. To let those generals who have been fighting all their lives spend the last days of their lives on the sickbed, and think that most of them are willing to die on the battlefield and win the last name of bravery.

And Yang Ling, a fifty-year-old general, is one of them.

It was precisely because of this that the moment Yang Ling received Li Mao's order, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

After all, at this moment, the one who is sitting in the Boling Pass is the most famous fierce general of the Great Zhou, Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance, and even the tribal warriors on the grassland are also spread to the top name of this woman, purely as a general, it is simply the luckiest thing in life to be able to fight with such a powerful general.

But after thinking about it carefully, the veteran Yang Ling felt a little interested, after all, Liang Qiuwu had too few troops at hand, only 3,000 Eastern Army. As long as he is willing, he can capture Boling almost instantly, and whether he can snipe Liang Qiuwu is another matter, but the three thousand Eastern Army will definitely not be able to escape the fate of the annihilation of the entire army.

It's no wonder that Yang Ling is so determined, after all, in these days, the Eastern Army has not tried to break through, but what is the result? Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, two guerrilla generals of the Eastern Army, attacked Yang Ling's base camp three times and twice but were almost defeated, Chen Gang of Boling repeatedly led the army to break through, and was blocked back into the pass by him Yang Ling, but Liang Qiuwu was a little troublesome when he broke through in person, but so what? Unless this woman is willing to leave the entire Eastern Army and break out alone, Yang Ling is completely sure that she will be bolted to death in Boling.

Even the subordinate general Tian Kai didn't care when he heard this, and said, "What is the old general still hesitating about? The capture of Boling is just a matter of a snap of a finger! Capture Boling as soon as possible, kill Liang Qiu Wu, let's lead the victorious army to aid His Highness, and when the time comes, the last general will see what kind of expression the so-called five tigers will have! ”

Yang Ling chuckled silently when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "Tian Kai, you think too simply, and Your Highness also thinks too simply......"

"How?" Tian Kai asked puzzled.

Yang Ling didn't answer face-to-face, but just asked the scouts who sent the letter, "According to what you said, the main road from Jijing to Boling was cut off by Fei Guo, the general of the Jizhou Army, so how did you come here?" ”

"Over the mountains and over the mountains!" The cavalry delivering the letter replied truthfully, with a bit of smugness in his tone, after all, they had passed through the main road where the twenty or thirty thousand men of Fei were stationed.

"Are there pursuers?"

"No!"

"Hehehe......" Yang Ling smiled, looked at the cavalry who sent the letter and said, "Count yourself lucky!" ”

The cavalry who delivered the letter looked at each other, not understanding what Yang Ling meant by these words.

On the other hand, Tian Kai seemed to have noticed something, frowned and asked tentatively, "What does the old general mean is that the general of the Jizhou Army named Fei Guo deliberately let them go?" ”

"Or else?" Glancing at Tian Kai, Yang Ling said with a smile, "How can an army of twenty or thirty thousand not be able to hold the main road?" Not to mention that they passed unharmed without even the slightest rumor, it was obviously the country that deliberately let these people over......"

"What's in it for the Jizhou Army?" Tian Kai became more and more puzzled when he heard this, and said in surprise, "It is said that the commander of the three armies of the Jizhou Army is Xie An, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Wu is Xie An's eldest wife...... Could it be that the Jizhou army plans to implement a plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements? ”

"The strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements is good, but His Royal Highness is well versed in the art of war, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed, and the order in this letter in the old man's hand also proves that His Highness has guessed the intention of the imperial court soldiers and horses, and intends to let me wait until the matter here is solved and all rushed to Jijing...... The old man doesn't believe that Sun Xiangyu's ruthless girl can't be estimated! ”

"Eldest grandson Xiangyu? This name is a little familiar......" Tian Kai touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Ah, that's the biggest behind-the-scenes hero of the Northern Hebei Victory......" With a faint smile, Yang Ling paced a few steps in the tent, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and said, "Quick, send scouts, and quickly find out that there are reinforcements from the direction of Jijing!" ”

Tian Kai was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask much, hugged his fists and took his life, and walked out of the tent.

Glancing at the letter in his hand, Yang Ling slowly paced to the candlestick, lit the candle flame of this book, watched the paper burn slowly, and muttered, "Want to attack the old man's back while the old man is taking Boling?" The old man won't give you this chance...... Ruthless girl! ”

-- meanwhile, Boling --

"Bang-"

On the upper floor of Boling Pass City, a tea bowl was smashed to the ground by Chen Gang, the general of the Eastern Army.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Kai, the most important general in the Eastern Army, looked at Chen Gang, a colleague with a strong temper who was comparable to a righteous brother, with some helplessness.

From the side, several Eastern sergeants cleaned up the broken tea bowls in surprise, obviously, Chen Gang lost his temper and threw things not once or twice.

"What's wrong with me? It's not Yang Ling's old horseman! I don't know what I thought of again, Chen Gang's face turned red with anger, and he slapped the table and scolded angrily, "That old and immortal old horseman, if he has the ability, he will fight with Lao Tzu for three hundred rounds, what is it to shrink in the camp?" Shrinking turtle! When I see it in the future, Lao Tzu has to cut off the head of the turtle grandson to make wine! ”

Yan Kai shook his head helplessly when he heard this, although Chen Gang scolded him badly, but so far, this brave general has not taken advantage of Yang Ling's veteran.

"I really can't imagine that there are such generals in the Northern Xinjiang Army who are good at using soldiers......" muttered to himself, Yan Xingxing couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

You must know that he Yan Kai is called a famous defensive general who "can't be opened in case of strictness", but in front of that veteran Yang Ling, Yan Kai couldn't help but feel powerless, that was really an experienced veteran, although his martial arts were far inferior to any general in the Eastern Army, let alone their main general Yan Hu Ji Liangqiu Wu, but people just kept it tight, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, even Yan Kai couldn't help but bow down.

"If only Xiao Xiang and Xiao Luo were here......" Chen Gang said angrily.

Yan Kai smiled bitterly, he knew very well that Yang Ling, the veteran of the Northern Xinjiang Army, who had rich combat experience, would never put Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, two generals of the Eastern Army, into Boling, after all, people were fighting with each idea of breaking down, how could they sit back and watch the scattered cavalry of the Eastern Army converge in Boling?

It is precisely for this reason that Boling will fall into passivity because of the obvious lack of troops, and there is a possibility of being captured at any time day and night.

"Yang Ling...... Yang Ling...... It seems that I have heard of it somewhere......" Touching his chin, Yan Kai frowned and thought.

At this moment, Liang Qiu Wu, who was resting on the main throne with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I have heard that this person once joined forces with us to fight against the invasion of foreign cavalry!" ”

"Huh?" Yan Kai was stunned when he heard this.

"That's what I just remembered. If I remember correctly, when Li Mao and I went north to fight against the invasion of the grassland, this man and several other generals led the remnants of the army to surrender to ......."

"In other words......"

"In other words, this person used to be the general of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry under the command of the eldest prince Li Yong!"

"Huh?!" Yan Kai was moved when he heard this, you must know that the words of the general of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry under the command of the eldest prince Li Yong mean that Yang Ling is the general of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry originally created by the first generation of Yuyang Iron Cavalry, that is, Liang Qiu Gong, the tiger of Northern Xinjiang.

"The soldier in the uncle's army back then?" Even Chen Gang was taken aback, and said dumbfounded, "Didn't the Yuyang Iron Cavalry in the period of the uncle be wiped out by the whole army?" ”

"No, in fact, there were only a few ...... of one or two thousand defeated troops at that time," Liang Qiuwu said in a deep voice.

Chen Gang frowned when he heard this, and said suspiciously, "Since you are a soldier under the command of Uncle Zeng, why do you want to embarrass with our Eastern Army?" ”

Liang Qiuwu sighed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yang Ling is from Gaoyang......"

"Gao Yang ......" Yan Kai and Chen Gang couldn't help but squint when they heard this, and subconsciously held their breath.

As we all know, the biggest fundamental reason for the victory in northern Hebei is that Changsun Xiangyu used 80,000 soldiers and civilians in Gaoyang City as bait to induce the Beirong cavalry to kill, burn, loot and plunder in the city, and to gain decisive time for the Eastern Army to reverse the defeat later.

"No wonder ......" Yan Kai exhaled slightly, he finally understood why Yang Ling, as the general of the first generation of Yuyang Iron Cavalry founded by Liang Qiu Gong, the tiger of Northern Xinjiang, would be embarrassed by the Eastern Army today, the reason is that Liang Qiu Wu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu have become sisters in the same room today, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu who used Gaoyang's 80,000 soldiers and civilians as bait for victory.

Similarly, Yan Kai was also relieved that Yang Ling would assist Li Mao, the king of Yan, who was obviously guilty of rebellion and usurped the throne, most likely because the veteran was disappointed in the imperial court, and was disappointed in the court's acquiescence at that time to the eldest grandson Xiangyu's unscrupulous means for victory and to treat Gao Yang as an outcast.

"It seems that one is inevitable......" Yan Kai shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, a sergeant of the Eastern Army hurriedly rushed outside the house, knocking on the ground to report the military situation.

"Urgent! There is a change in the Northern Xinjiang Army outside the pass! ”rs
