"Ma'am, just send it here." The army was still moving forward, and at this time it was ten miles away from Heng'an City, and Mengjing didn't want his wife and son to send it again, so he stopped his horses and turned to Lin Qin and said.

When Meng Gufeng heard what his father said, he also stopped his horse, turned the horse's head, and happened to face Lin Qin and Meng Guyun's mount.

"Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end." Lin Qin sighed softly, "The world is unpredictable, the battle situation is changeable, the master must be more careful when he goes out this time, Yun'er and I are waiting for the master to triumph at home." "In the army, it is not good to gossip, although Lin Qin only has a few words, but there is affection in his eyes, looking at Mengjing.

"Madame, rest assured, I have thought through this expedition, and with Madame's many suggestions, I will definitely be able to cope with all kinds of changes." Mengjing comforted.

Lin Qin said "um" and turned to Meng Gufeng: "Feng'er, this is your first expedition, remember to learn more and watch more, obey military orders, don't be brave and ruthless, and be brave." Lin Qin admonished.

"Feng'er knows that Feng'er must only be the first to take the lead in the army, and will never dare to act without permission." Dream Lonely Wind assured.

"Yun'er, do you have anything else to say to your father and eldest brother?" After Lin Qin finished speaking, he saw that his youngest son, who had always been lively and talkative, kept his head down and was silent, and asked with his head down.

"I, I want my dad and big brother to hug me." Meng Guyun lowered his head and said in a very small voice, because he was embarrassed, not only did he not raise his head, but he lowered his head.

Although Meng Guyun's voice was small, it was heard by the three of them, and then seeing his embarrassed appearance, they looked at each other and laughed, Meng Jing was fast, turned over and dismounted, hugged Meng Guyun from Lin Qin's horse, hugged him tightly in his arms, his eyes were tearful, and he kept stroking his hair and forehead with his hands, and after a while, he put him down. After Meng Jing put down Meng Guyun, Meng Gufeng also hugged his younger brother and couldn't stop patting his younger brother on the shoulder, although he had no words, but the love between father and son was clear at a glance.

"Captain Liu, you lead a hundred-man cavalry team to send your wife and son back to the city, and then come to chase the army." Mengjing ordered.

"Subordinates receive orders." Liu Yong agreed loudly.

"Mother, I have a stomachache and want convenience." Meng Guyun's stomach rolled for a while, and he fidgeted on the horse.

"Captain Liu, let the soldiers rest here for a while, and then set off later," At this time, there were still five miles away from Heng'an City, and Lin Qin knew that Meng Guyun would definitely not be able to endure it until he returned home, so he ordered the troops to rest for a while.

The name of this place is Fengzuipo, it is the throat of Heng'an City, the mountains and forests on both sides of this place are towering, the closer to the direction of Heng'an City, the higher the terrain, and the road is getting narrower and narrower, and finally the intersection used to pass, the width is only a few zhang distance, like the mouth of a bird, this place is also named because of this. At that time, Dugu Mu Jianguo chose to establish Heng'an City here, and set it as the capital of Daheng, that is, he took a fancy to this place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the supply was appropriate, the three armies were killed, and this place was a man when the pass, and ten thousand people were not opened, and the Fengzui slope was guarded, and Heng'an City was naturally safe.

Lin Qin's resting place is at the mouth of Fengzui Slope, Meng Guyun wants to be convenient, and he doesn't want his mother to follow, Lin Qin is helpless, thinking that it is no big deal, he found two soldiers to follow Meng Guyun together, and he sat aside to rest.

"Yun'er, don't go far!" Lin Qin saw that the figures of Meng Guyun and the two soldiers were getting smaller and smaller, almost unable to see clearly, and shouted loudly.

It turns out that although Meng Guyun is stubborn, his face is very thin, and he thinks that this is a wild place, if I don't go farther, will it be convenient for hundreds of people to look at me? So Meng Guyun ignored his mother's call, and still walked farther and farther until he couldn't see everyone, and then ordered the two soldiers to stay away as much as possible, turn their heads and not look at themselves, the soldiers were very embarrassed, but they couldn't disobey, so they had to turn around and stand still.

Meng Guyun walked dozens of zhang away from both sides of Fengzui Slope, and then he put his mind at ease and untied his pants with peace of mind.

"Huh~" A transparent and high-pitched roar came from the convenient direction of Meng Guyun, Lin Qin's hair stood up when he listened, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly stood up, and after a while, one of the two soldiers who accompanied Meng Guyun ran to Lin Qin out of breath, with an anxious and frightened look, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, madam, son was taken away by a tiger!" ”

Lin Qin already knew something was wrong when he heard the roar, and when he heard the soldier's report, saying that Meng Guyun was taken away by a tiger, and thinking of the prophecy of the man in white shirt, it seemed to be in his ears, and he only felt that his eyes were black, his headache was splitting, and he was almost about to faint.

"Hurry up and explain the situation, don't ramble!" Liu Yong was also frightened when he heard this, and when he saw Lin Qin's appearance, he was not easy to help, and shouted to the soldier who reported the news, hoping that he did not make it clear, and there was a turning point in it, otherwise he would lose the general's son, and his ten lives would not be enough to compensate.

"Just now, just now the son went to the forest conveniently, did not allow us to follow in close quarters, and let us turn around, so the two of us did not dare to approach, had to guard the son in the distance, who knew that suddenly heard a roar, we immediately chased over, only to see a white-fronted tiger, tall and strong as a cow, seemed to stun the son, put him in the mouth, the tiger came and went like the wind, we were not in a hurry to chase it, so I left one person to continue to track, I rushed back to report the news." The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and finally smoothed out his tongue and told what had happened.

When Liu Yong heard this, he was even more bitter in his heart, knowing that the illusion he had had been shattered before, and the son must be more than lucky, and at this time, Lin Qin's body eased up slightly, ignored everyone, and ran towards the place where Meng Guyun had an accident like crazy. Captain Liu didn't dare to slack off, for fear that his wife would have another accident, so he led a team of 100 people to follow closely.

Lin Qin carefully searched the place where Meng Guyun had an accident, the branches next to him were scattered, it was indeed like a fierce beast, looking for the direction where the tiger ran, the tiger had long since disappeared, but no traces of blood were found, she only hoped that the tiger would take Meng Guyun away at the moment, not eat him immediately, just as a food reserve, or forage for the little tiger, maybe there is still a chance, she has regained a little calm at the moment, and ordered Liu Yong:

"Captain Liu, you quickly send two people to Tianmeng Mansion to report the news, explain the situation, and let Steward Zhang personally bring fifty generals over, and the rest of the people will listen to my command, and follow me in the direction of the tiger's run, fan-shaped search the mountain."

Lin Qin pondered in her heart at this time, although the soldiers led by Mengjing were brave, but finding people was no better than marching to fight, and the Fuzhong family general would definitely be better at it, and at the same time she calculated the time, Captain Liu went from sending them back to the house with the Mengjing army, and then catching up with the Mengjing army, at most two hours, if he did not return, her husband must be worried, this time the recasting of the southwest border is a matter of great importance, if at this time let her husband and eldest son know that Meng Guyun's life and death are uncertain, they will definitely be restless, and there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit to this expedition, and even make a wrong judgment, which affects their safety, so this matter cannot be known to her husband no matter what, so Captain Liu and his party must catch up with the army in time.

When Steward Zhang and his family arrived, Lin Qin had already searched for more than half an hour with hundreds of soldiers, but found nothing, as time went by, the chances of Meng Guyun being rescued became more and more slim, at this time, Lin Qin endured the grief in his heart, and explained the situation in detail with Steward Zhang, so that he commanded the family to continue to look for Meng Guyun, and he called Liu Yong aside and asked him to assemble the hundred-person team on the side of the road.

Liu Yong had already assembled the hundred-person team at this time, knowing that Lin Qin must have something to say, but it was the general's wife who asked them to fill in the lives of the hundred people for Meng Guyun, so he sighed and stood beside Lin Qin silently.

Lin Qin looked around at the hundred people and saw that these soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles were actually silent at this moment, without the slightest momentum of the past, as if waiting for himself to announce their fate.

"Listen to the soldiers, my son suffered this catastrophe, although I am sad in my heart, but this is his fate, and no one else, all the soldiers followed the general to die for my Daheng, and fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, Lin Qin, as the general's wife, how dare to rule everyone to live and die with private life? So listen, everyone, I, Lin Qin, will explain this matter to the general, and I have no responsibility with the soldiers! Lin Qin shouted loudly in a tragic voice.

Hundreds of soldiers looked at each other, feeling that Lin Qin did not lose the domineering spirit of a man at all, and was impressed by her righteous and awe-inspiring spirit.

"But," Lin Qin suddenly changed his words, his eyes were cold, "If any of the people present today dare to tell the general about the attack on Gongzi, which will affect the army's departure and changes in the battle situation, I, Lin Qin, will not spare him lightly and take his life personally!" ”

"No." After listening to Lin Qin's words, the hundred-person team responded with overwhelming momentum.

Lin Qin called Liu Yong aside again, and told him again and again, saying that this matter was very important, so that he must keep it secret, and at the same time deal with it properly when reporting to Mengjing, don't let Mengjing see the clues, Liu Yong at the moment to Lin Qin, the general's wife, has admired the five-body throw, she is in danger, and the grievances are clear, bow to Lin Qin, promise to complete the task to the death, and then lead a team of 100 people to chase after Mengjing's army.

After Captain Liu left, Lin Qin collected his mind and continued to command the generals to look for Meng Guyun, until he found that the sky was dark, and he could hardly even see the road clearly, Steward Zhang knew that she was sad in her heart, and he didn't dare to persuade her, at this time there was still no trace of Meng Guyun, Lin Qin knew that his son must have been more than lucky, and Meng Jing did not send someone back to look for his son, Liu Yong and his party must not have shown clues, and it would not affect her husband's expedition, at this time she was exhausted, and suddenly her eyes were dark and she fainted to the ground.

The words were divided into two ends, Meng Jing and Lin Qin, and after Meng Guyun said goodbye, he accelerated his march and wanted to arrive at Xiyu Pass one step earlier. On the way, he rarely communicated with Meng Gufeng, firstly, because he did not want to take special care of him, and secondly, he wanted to secretly observe his son to see if he could cope with the hardships of the march.

Although Meng Gufeng went out with the army for the first time, he had already looked forward to this scene thousands of times in his heart, plus he liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he was strict with himself, so he didn't feel hard, except for the reluctance and worry in his heart when he was separated from his mother and younger brother, the rest were quite adaptable, and after the hundred-man team that escorted his mother and younger brother back to the city returned to the army, he heard that his mother and younger brother returned home safely, and put down the big stone in his heart and devoted himself to this expedition.

"The general has worked hard, the army has traveled more than 800 miles in ten days, and only the general has such a speed." Tian Wu, the guard of Xiyu Pass, personally led his troops out of the customs for ten miles to greet him to show his attention. Mengjing's army set off and traveled eighty miles a day, it was indeed Tian Wu who didn't expect it, he originally thought that it would take at least half a month, and this time it was not a battlefield battle, why did Mengjing need to march in such a hurry?

"General Tian, please get up," Mengjing helped Tian Wu up, "Xiyuguan has been fine for the past six months, has there been any change." ”

"Back to the general, Xiyuguan has been peaceful in recent years, and there has been no change in the past half a year." Tian Wu has been guarding Xiyu Pass for four years, and he also participated in the whole process of Mengjing's deployment of the Xiyu Pass defense line last time, and he knows the character of this general, he has always been unofficial, not clichéd, he is straight to the point, and military first; Xiyu Pass has always been peaceful under his jurisdiction, plus and Xihua, Daewoo two countries are friendly, there are few wars, last year King Heng also sent someone to praise him, promoted him to the Shen rank after the general of the place, continue to guard Xiyu Pass, this time Mengjing led troops to Xiyu Pass, he only said that it was a normal check post to change the guard, but he did not expect the general to have this question as soon as he took a look.

After listening to Tian Wu's report, Mengjing knew that Xihua and Daewoo had no change for the time being, and his heart was a little relieved, he knew that Tian Wu was a person, upright, straightforward, and he was still a deed, and his offensive ability was average, but he was skilled in defending the city, and they had talked on paper many times, and many of this person's methods of defending the city were difficult to crack for a while, so he highly recommended this person to serve as the important position of guarding Xiyu Pass. Mengjing knew that outside the customs was not a place to talk, so he didn't say more, and motioned for Tian Wu to enter the customs first.

"Has Wu Ning Taishou arrived at the Guannei?" Mengjing asked.

"Back to the general, Han Taishou is already waiting for the general in the pass."

Mengjing instructed the deputy general Ma Deshu to settle the army, and at the same time asked Tian Wu to arrange a partial general to take Meng Gufeng to inspect Xiyu Pass, and explain in detail, regardless of whether his son can fully understand it or not, start from here first, it must feel good to find it. Then Mengjing dismissed left and right, leaving only Tian Wu and Wu Ning Taishou Han Yang in the hall.

"Han Yang see the general." After everyone retreated, Han Yang hurriedly saluted Mengjing.

"Mrs. Han must be polite, please sit down and talk." Mengjing waved his hand and motioned for Han Yang to sit down. "I led the troops to Xiyu Pass this time, it was ordered by King Heng, not only to inspect so simple, but in fact there is another important task, today I resigned from everyone, leaving only two here, there is something important to discuss." Mengjing said solemnly.

After Mengjing finished speaking, Tian and Han both took a deep breath, it turned out that the situation had changed suddenly, and the big war was very likely to break out, Tian Wu finally understood why Mengjing was so anxious, eight hundred miles away, and arrived at Xiyu Pass in only ten days.

"Therefore, in the next half a month, the two of you will try your best to cooperate with me to rearm the Xiyu Pass, starting tomorrow, I will first take people to inspect the pass, and the deployment of troops in the pass, change of defense, drills, personnel rotation, transportation, combat readiness, grain and grass supply and a series of issues, General Tian, you must first discuss with your generals in detail, and then we will discuss how to adjust it together after unification," Mengjing saw that the two of them already knew the whole story, and immediately began to arrange the deployment, at this time Han Yang was quite embarrassed on the side, seeing that Mengjing was just arranging the deployment in the pass, Didn't give himself an errand.

"Han Taishou don't need to worry," Mengjing saw Han Yang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Wuning is the closest to Xiyu Pass, less than fifty miles away, but half a day's journey; Therefore, if Xiyu Pass is attacked, Wu Ning is the best backup, and once Xiyu Pass is lost, the fifty-mile journey is a flat river, and Wuning City is not in danger to defend, so it is naturally dangerous! So Xiyuguan and Wu Ningnai are dependent on each other, do the two of them understand? Tian Wu and Han Yang glanced at each other, and they both felt a great responsibility.

Mengjing continued: "Han Taishou returned to Wuning this time, he must make corresponding arrangements with the army, soldiers, materials, grain and grass and other important matters, must be arranged in advance, and arrange a special person to be responsible, so that when the war comes, everyone is not clear about their responsibilities, so that they are confused, if the war situation falls into a stalemate, Han Taishou must ensure close communication with the court, and must not cut off contact." ”

"Do you have any questions?" After Mengjing explained the general direction, he asked the two of them.

The two saw that Mengjing was properly arranged, but there was no big invitation in his words, Tian Wu had worked with Mengjing, so he naturally knew his methods, and Han Yang was a civil official, and he was deeply admired when he saw Mengjing being thoughtful.

"General, there is no problem with the deployment in Xia, it's just that Xiyu Pass only has 20,000 soldiers and is older, and Wuning only has 10,000 defenders, if Xihua and Daewoo really raise troops to attack, I am worried..."

"The general can rest assured, the 50,000 soldiers and horses I brought this time, I only returned to Heng'an with 1,000 relatives, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all allocated by the general. The general can leave 10,000 soldiers in the pass, plus the original 20,000 soldiers, 30,000 horses are enough to strictly guard the Xiyu Pass, and I am afraid that any more will not be able to be used; The remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses can be stationed in Wuning City, and if the battle situation changes, or the general needs to replenish the troops, they can be deployed at any time. ”

"Thank you, General!" Tian Wu was overjoyed.

"The general can't, the general only brings a thousand relatives with him, if he encounters danger on the way, how can it be good?" Han Yang worried.

"It's too much to be careful, in the territory of Daheng, even if Mengjing is alone, I don't think anyone can hurt me in the slightest, not to mention that I still have a thousand soldiers and horses with me!" Mengjing laughed and was excited.
