Hou Zhou Zhen'an, who was urgently reminded by the people around him, made Xiang Gong very annoyed, and immediately rushed to the granary with a group of personal guards, and at the same time ordered all the relevant military dignitaries of the Assassin Mansion to rush to the granary to put out the fire.

When he arrived at the scene, Xiang Gong found that except for a granary that burned a large piece, there was no!

Pull in the soldiers guarding the warehouse, and when he asked, Xiang Gong's nose suddenly turned angry. It turned out to be a soldier guarding the granary who was drinking with friends at noon, and when he came back, he fell drunk near the granary near the camp gate.

Xiang Gong repeatedly asked, but the drunken soldier couldn't remember what had happened, and he couldn't remember who the person who had been drinking with him at noon. Xiang Gong picked up the scabbard and beat the soldier a few times, ordered this unlucky guy to be put in prison directly, and told Si Cang to keep an eye on the scene after joining the army and solving the sect, and if there is any mistake, he will be beheaded on the spot!

Returning to the Assassin's Mansion, Xiang Gong immediately convened an emergency military meeting, starting with the trivial matter of the granary catching fire, and discussing the details of how to meet the southern expedition of the army.

As he was talking, a soldier walked in and whispered a few words to Yao Yuanfu, the defense envoy of Chenzhou, who was sitting at the head of the group.

The veteran Yao Yuanfu raised his eyebrows, stood up and bowed: "General Zhao, Lord Xiang, I think the granary is too strange. The subordinates have just sent someone to inquire carefully, the drunken soldier was sent back to the granary by his two friends, and not long after the two left, the granary was on fire, and these two people were very suspicious! ”

Yao Yuanfu was born in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty (884 AD) and is now sixty-seven years old. He is a native of Jinyang, known for his bravery since childhood, riding horses and archery omnipotently, is a member of the late five dynasties, has been in the Central Plains against the Khitan, the party in the battle has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, successively served as the head of the hall military envoy, Gong Wei, Wei and the personal subordinate Ma Dou Army Colonel, Tianping Army inside and outside the Ma Army Commander, Weizhou (now Ningxia Tongxin Northeast) Assassin History, Zizhou (now Zibo South, Shandong) Assassin History and other official positions.

At the beginning of this year, Yao Yuanfu also accompanied Wang Yanchao to crusade against the rebel general Yang Wen in Xuzhou, and served as the commander of the battalion. After pacifying Xu Wen, Yao Yuanfu led his troops back to Beijing and was reappointed as the defense envoy of Chenzhou (now Huaiyang, Henan).

Xiang Gong, who was forty years old, had great respect for this brave and unusually old general, and immediately straightened his body and looked at Yao Yuanfu with blazing eyes: "What does the old general mean?" ”

"Two generals, can you listen to the next word?" A young general sitting in the upper seat stood up and bowed. This person has a long body and bright armor, and he is Zhao Kuangyin, the head of the eastern and western classes of the forbidden army and the commander of the new elite troops.

"General Zhao, please speak!" Xiang Gong naturally did not slack off on the celebrity beside the saint, and stood up slightly to salute.

"There is a guess below: the granary fire is only a small action made by the special forces under Lin Feng, and there must be follow-up actions later, so I suggest waiting and seeing. I'm sure my brothers will have news before midnight. Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

Xiang Gong and Yao Yuanfu couldn't help but keep an eye on the young man at the same time.

"General Xiang and General Yao, I have a small request for a handwritten letter of the Jiedu Embassy for my subordinates, to ensure that we can come and go freely in the state capitals of Zhen'an, and let Lin Feng's subordinates have a good look at what the most elite soldiers in the world are!" Zhao Kuangyin said loudly.

"General Zhao is full of confidence! Lin Feng's gang of subordinates is very good, I heard that the Qingyuan army was captured and retained, and the most arrogant tribal army in the Liao State was very obedient, not to be underestimated! Yao Yuanfu reminded beside him.

Zhao Kuangyin sneered and shook his head: "Jumping clown, why bother?" Today, more than 100,000 elite soldiers in my big week have been assembled, and they are about to wave their troops south, and Xiaoxiao Shouzhou is simply a mantis arm blocking the car! The 200 tiger warriors under my command train hard day by day, fight all the time, never fear strong enemies, and choose the best of the best, is it comparable to the soldiers of Xiao Tang who have been in the battle formation for a long time? In the next suggestion, Chen Zhou is loose outside and tight inside, calmly deal with it, and wipe out all these small people! ”

Xiang Gong and Yao Yuanfu glanced at each other, nodded in approval, and continued to discuss the matter of welcoming the army south, and jointly discussed the situation of the battle of the southern expedition. The three of them talked happily, bringing them closer to each other a lot.

That night, one after another, Hu Benshi sent the news back: Bozhou and Yingzhou have Sicang to join the army, and Si Bing to join the army encountered accidents!

Zhao Kuangyin waved back the two "tiger warriors" who reported the news, and coldly said: "Two generals, based on the existing information, I am afraid that a similar incident will happen in Suzhou in the east!" Clown Lin Feng's small practice has been clear, that is, to act in advance, obstruct the timely grain and grass support of the state capitals of Zhen'an, and want to make some fuss about the army's baggage! However, this was Lin Feng's first big mistake in this big war crime!

My Great Zhou Dynasty has been discussing the strategy of destroying the south for several months, and I have long considered various possibilities, and it has long been clear that in the early stage of this southward journey, the Beijing division and the surrounding sections will bring their own military rations and weapons, and the army commander will drive straight down, and will never stop, that is, with the momentum of thunder, a drum. Lin Feng's little tricks are like scratching the itch through the boots, hitting a stone with an egg, which is ridiculous and pathetic! ”

Xiang Gong nodded in approval, and asked the two generals to go back to their quarters to rest, and prepare to welcome the southbound army tomorrow.

Yao Yuanfu left the Assassin's Mansion and hurried to his residence with five guards.

When there were still hundreds of meters away from the house where he was staying, one of the guards who walked in front stepped out with his left foot, but suddenly fell into the air, and the person couldn't help but lean forward, and immediately exclaimed: "Be careful! ”

Just as his voice sounded, three powerful arrows burst out from the darkness in the corner of the roadside, and the two arrows on both sides were accurately nailed to the right arms of the two guards, and the sharp arrow that shot at Yao Yuanfu in the middle was dodged by the old general in a blink of an eye.

The old general immediately shook his body constantly, drew his sword in his hand, slowly swiped the guard at his side, and shouted fiercely: "Wu Naxiao is small, can you dare to fight the old man face to face?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" A soft shout sounded, and three men dressed in black slowly stepped out of the shadows and stepped into the range of the lanterns of several guards. They all carried bows and arrows, and the leader was a little shorter, but his eyes were unusually dark.

"Say it! Whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, please ask General Yao to draw a way! The little man said disdainfully.

Yao Yuanfu was laughed at directly, you are too arrogant, right? Whose fucking territory is this?

Yao Yuanfu inserted the knife into the sheath, shook his head and smiled: "Should I say this?" ”

"I only send two words to General Yao on behalf of our adults - if people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will offend. We never take the initiative to cause trouble, but we are never afraid of things coming to the door! The old general is also a lot old, and when he went south, he lost his life, and his reputation was ruined! The little man pointed the tip of the knife at Yao Yuanfu and said arrogantly, paused in the middle, listened attentively, raised his voice and said, "Come out!" That particular general! ”

"Pap-pa-" Zhao Kuangyin walked out of the darkness with applause, followed by six tiger warriors with big shoulders and round waists.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and sneered at this unusually bold little man: "Sure enough, it's something that doesn't know whether to live or die!" For the sake of your courage and courage, I can leave you a whole corpse and send it across the Huai River by the way! ”

With a wave of Zhao Kuangyin's hand, the six tiger warriors pulled out their steel knives and slowly surrounded them.
