As soon as he took about ten steps in the second quarter, Zhu Yuhu shouted from behind: "General Yang, take care."

Yang Yi's heart was hot, and he turned his head and smiled: "Thank you General Zhu for your concern, and you are the same." Along the way, Zhu Yuhu can be said to be obedient to him, and never put on the shelf of the prime minister's son. He was exquisite, didn't he understand the other party's intention to woo him. But he has always kept a faint distance from the other party, and he is not shocked.

There is no moon in the first half of the night at the end of the month. The twilight is deep, the distant Pangui City has been hidden in the thick of the night, the autumn breeze on the grassland is frivolous, the crickets are chirping, and the stars in the sky are quietly watching this qiē in the night sky. A qiē seems so quiet and serene.

Watching Yang Yi take more than two hundred warriors all the way to the hurry, gradually disappearing into the deep twilight. He sighed silently. The failure of the southern expedition four years ago was an earthquake for the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time. After this battle, the huge Eastern Han Empire collapsed and split into the Southern Han and Northern Han. But for him, it was also a nightmare. During his year as a captive, he, like everyone else, lived an inhuman life in a dark mine. This year, he learned to be patient.

Later, the Nanban sued the Southern Han for peace, and he, the son of the prime minister, was found out by the Nanban as a condition and released back to the Southern Han. He met Xuanyuan Ling again, the princess who had been crazy with him since childhood. It's just that her eyes have also lost their mischievous luster, and a thick layer of melancholy has been enveloped.

She ended up going. In exchange for 30,000 war horses and the prince of Northern Meng, the prince of Shiquan did not commit any offense against the autumn of the three northwestern provinces. He vaguely remembered that when the big ship disappeared where the water and the sky met, he stood at the head of the city, and only felt weak in his whole body, but he could not think about it. If there was enough strength, the father and the queen mother would not ignore their opinions, and the princess could not have been banished to Beimeng by the imperial court in an alternative way. From that day on, he learned the value of power.

But it is easier said than done to build power. He is the second son of the prime minister, which is an advantage, many people do not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and after all, they will maintain a kind of polite respect. But this identity is also a disadvantage, he is a concubine, and according to the customs of this world, he has no right to inherit. Those officials who want to make friends with the prime minister's forces almost all go to the eldest brother. As the saying goes, 'It's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree', and that's true. But if a small tree in the shade below wants to replace a big tree, it is not easy.

The brother-in-law has Chixiao's identity, and he is an eight-stage master, so he has established his own team in the gap between the two major forces of the imperial court. So, what do you have? What the hell should I do?

"General Zhu, General Yang has been gone for a long time, let's keep up, I'm afraid it's too late."

Beside him, a cavalry general reminded in a low voice. Zhu Yuhu cleaned up his mood and glanced at the team behind him. The thousands of cavalry were extremely elite, and although they had only rested for a short hour, most of them were in good spirits, and their combat strength had already recovered most of them. They stood on their horses at the same time, but they were silent in the night. He nodded and waved the spear in his hand: "Let's go, act as planned." ”

Glancing back at the team behind him again, thinking of what Yang Yi said to him just now, he began to envy Wu Minglai. There are such loyal subordinates, such a good team. Why worry about the big thing, but the brother-in-law's heart is too benevolent. The battle must be ahead, and it is resourceful but not judgmental. Perhaps, Zuo Changshi is right, a man's career should be forged by blood.

With his order, the five thousand cavalrymen lit their torches at the same time, shouted, and threw themselves into the distance with astonishing momentum.

At this time, Pan Gui's guard Kong Fang encountered a problem.

The governor of the Ten Roads of China and the West, Kong Fang is the oldest one, and he is already in his seventies. At his age, ordinary people have already reached the age of recuperation, although the life span of a martial artist is longer than that of ordinary people, but before the grandmaster, this extended Cheng dù is limited, and Kong Fang has long been in the heart of retreat. But he had a last resort. When he was young, Wei Lin saved his life by chance. Now that he wants to support Liao Shi, he can't shirk much. The battle on the front line is in full swing, and he is also uneasy in Pangui City.

The Southern Barbarians were restrained by Persia, and the attention of the Northern Han was focused on the three northwestern provinces. So this time, the Southern Han Dynasty almost came to attack with all the strength of the country. Although only more than 10,000 cavalry came from the middle of the Southern Han Dynasty, his intuition told him that things would not be as simple as they seemed. Liao Sheng's more than 20,000 main forces passed through Pangui under the banner of support, but it made him even more uneasy, after the absence of Governor Liao, the contradiction between the three Liao brothers was a well-known thing. Although the enemy is at present, Jiang Huan should not do anything to kill him in a false way, but the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and he knows that he has no such plan? The arrival of more than 20,000 elite horsemen has made the battlefield ahead more variable.

A few days ago, he learned that Liao Shi was defeated, which made him even more panicked. Who are these more than 10,000 Southern Han cavalry, who are so powerful? What should Liao Shi do if he fails? Did he lead the army to surrender the city? That's not going to work, putting aside Governor Liao's kindness to himself. The Southern Han only had more than 10,000 cavalry, and they had more than 40,000 foot soldiers to defend the city, and they would surrender if they did not fight. Won't it make the world laugh? Now the battle situation is unclear, if the Southern Han can unify the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is fine, in case this western expedition fails, or it will be destroyed by the Northern Han in the future. How will you remember yourself in the history books in the future?

At this time, it was already the end of the day, and he lay down, but he was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and all he thought about was all kinds of gains and losses. Later, I couldn't sleep, so I went up to the city and made another round. After a circle, I saw that the defense of the city was in good order, and I was a little relieved. The soldier next to him was very worried, and whispered: "My lord, since there is nothing to do, you can go down and rest." ”

Kong Fang smiled and said, "It's okay, people are old." I can't sleep when I lie down on the bed, so it's better to stay on the city tower, so that I can feel at ease. The soldier opened his mouth, waiting to be persuaded again. At this time, a soldier on the arrow tower next to him shouted: "Someone is coming." ”

When the opponent is attacking the city, the arrow tower is a sharp weapon for defending the city. Usually, it is the role of lookout. Kong Fang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It was too dark to see clearly, and I could only see about 200 people."

Two hundred? No, it's definitely not a siege. Kong Fang breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Don't act rashly, see who the other party is." ”

The two hundred or so men, all carrying torches, came very quickly, and in a short time they were already a mile away from the city. The lookout exclaimed, "Condu, look at the clothes." Like, as if it's our people! ”

Kong Fang's heart suddenly sank. More than 200 people, still in their own clothes. Could it be the second son's troops? But even if the second son's troops retreat, they will never be just such a few people. Thinking of the interruption of the carrier pigeons in the past two days, he thought of a possibility. Could it be that the front has suffered defeat, and these are just stragglers who have retreated? He shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, see clearly first, ask clearly, and then speak." Two hundred or so people can't turn over any big Lang. ”

When the seventh-stage master went there, it was equivalent to an undefeated myth. These students are short-sighted, and in their impression, Kong Du is a master in the world. With him in charge, it is naturally foolproof. Besides, the other party came for more than two hundred, which was not enough for his own side to stuff between his teeth, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Kong Fang say this.

As they spoke, the two hundred or so men had rushed to the city. By the light of the fire, the crowd could see clearly. These people are clearly a group of Chinese and Western soldiers, but they are covered in blood and dusty all over their bodies, obviously after a long journey. One of them stepped out of the crowd and shouted, "Brother upstairs, open the door." ”

Hearing what the other party said, one of the leader-like soldiers saw that Kong Fang did not reply, and wanted to go down and ask someone to open the city gate. As soon as he walked to the side of the stairs, Kong Fang suddenly said, "Slow, confirm the identity of the other party first." ”

Although these two hundred or so people can't afford to make a big difference, it's always good to be careful. His own soldiers heard Kong Fang say this, and let go of their throats and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

The man took the horse, but his tone was so loud that he sneered: "What person? Don't you have eyes? We are the second son's pro-soldier troops......"

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said it, he showed his flaws. Kong Fang sneered and said loudly: "Second Prince's personal troops? What do I think of you being so raw? Do you know who I am? ”

The person who shouted under the city was Yang Yi, when Kong Fang came out of the crowd. His heart sank, and he secretly screamed that it was not good. In this expedition to the west, he made full preparations, and before leaving, he specially learned about the governor of the Ten Roads in China and the West. The appearance of the governor of the Ten Roads of China and the West, although he has been orally described, has never seen his appearance, and can only learn some character traits. Under normal circumstances, even if these people were face-to-face with Yang Yi, he might not be able to recognize them. But Kong Fang was full of aura, and all the soldiers around him looked at him, looking like he was looking at him. Combined with the current guards, he immediately guessed the identity of the other party.

Could it be that Zhongxi's fate should not be extinct, and he led his troops to sneak attack, but he met this seven-stage master who happened to be on the city tower. Fortunately, he was very anxious, and although he complained bitterly in his heart, his face was not moving, and he saluted on the horse and said: "The villain does not know that Kong Du is above, please forgive me for the rude crime just now." As he spoke, his heart raced around and he thought about how to make an excuse.

Suddenly, he looked decent, but Kong Fang was a little confused, and shouted: "The second son's personal soldiers, I have a vague impression, why are you so face-to-face, quickly recruit from the truth." ”

At this time, Yang Yi had already thought of how to lie, but his thinking needed to be sorted out again. Still said with sincere fear: "If I say it, Kong Du please forgive the villain's rude sin just now." ”

Kong Fang's brows furrowed, but the other party's appearance was impeccable. When the other party saw that he had offended himself, the governor, he should be a little panicked. He slowed his tone and said, "Say it." What the hell is going on? ”
