The west rejects the Western Jin Dynasty, the east rejects the Great Qi, the southern Chu town, and Xiangzhou. It is located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, surrounded by water on three sides, facing mountains on one side, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Because of its strategic position, it has been a battleground for all dynasties.

Xiangzhou Mansion, at this time, is that the sheng flute is endless, the powder is everywhere, and there is a scene of singing and dancing.

"Come, come, come."

"Brother Yang, let's have a few more drinks, today you and my brothers, if you don't get drunk, you won't return."

On the main seat, Ma Zhifeng, the prefect of Xiangzhou, who was holding a young woman in his arms. He raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Yang Qiyu, a staff member who was sitting under him.

"Brother Ma, Yang really can't drink it, seeing that it is getting late, he will go to inspect the military camp and inspect the city defense later."

"Forgive Yang for not being able to have fun."

Yang Qiyu waved his hand again and again and refused to speak. As the warden of Xiangzhou, he has not forgotten his duty. Although he is three points drunk, he is not confused.

"General Yang, are you behaving like this, are you not giving Ma a certain face at all?"

Ma Zhifeng's eyes suddenly froze, but at this time, he had even omitted the title of Brother Yang, and called Yang Qiyu an official position. It is very obvious that Yang Qiyu's disappointment made him unhappy.

"Governor Ma, Yang is slightly different from you."

"Yang, as a guard in Xiangzhou, must always be vigilant."

"The matter of city defense should not be slackened at all."

Yang Qiyu didn't care about Ma Zhifeng's sudden change of face. The two belonged to different camps of civil and military, although Ma Zhifeng, as the prefect of Xiangzhou, had some control over him. But whether he listens or not, it's up to him. Listening, even if he is given a little thin face, if he doesn't listen, he can only endure it alone.

"Ugh."

"Perhaps, Ma has drunk too much."

"Please don't blame Brother Yang."

Looking at Yang Qiyu with a cold face in front of him, Ma Zhifeng instantly smiled. This face-changing kung fu, I don't know how many years he has been practicing.

"Since Brother Yang still has important business, it is inconvenient for Ma to stay."

"In that case, it's better to be like this."

"Today, you and my brothers, in the end, drank three cups and then ended, Brother Yang, what do you think?"

Ma Zhifeng got up, holding a wine jug in his hand, and persuaded Yang Qiyu again.

"So ......"

"That's fine."

Yang Qiyu thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, only three cups, and he would not turn his face on the spot.

"Okay, Brother Yang is really happy."

Ma Zhifeng stepped forward and personally poured Yang Qiyu's cup full of wine.

"Brother Yang, please."

"Brother Ma, please."

Three glasses of wine, and a quick stomach. Yang Qiyu was a little dizzy and was about to get up and say goodbye. Ma Zhifeng's small eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Ma, Yang will leave first."

Yang Qiyu staggered to his feet, bowed down and clenched his fists, and said goodbye to Ma Zhifeng.

"Brother Yang, please."

"You and my brothers, get together another day."

Ma Zhifeng looked at him, a smile on his face, and said with a fist in return.

"Lao Zhao, go and send General Yang."

He turned his head and instructed the old servant who had been waiting for him.

"Yes."

The old servant's face was old and wrinkled. He bowed out, wanting to step forward to support Yang Qiyu.

"It doesn't have to be that way."

"Yang is okay."

Yang Qiyu waved his hand lightly and refused, strode away, and his figure gradually disappeared into the hall.

Looking at Yang Qiyu, who had withdrawn and left, the smile on Ma Zhifeng's face instantly dissipated and became extremely gloomy.

"Gone?"

After a while, Lao Zhao returned to the hall and saw that above the main seat, Ma Zhifeng was holding a wine glass and pouring himself a drink.

"Back to the master, it's gone."

Lao Zhao stepped forward, bowed down and said to him.

"Hmph."

"I don't know how to lift."

"It's such a Yangguan Avenue, but I don't go."

Ma Zhifeng's face was ugly, and an unhappy look hung on his face.

"How's it going?"

He gently put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were very sharp, and asked Lao Zhao.

"It's all ready."

"After the third watch, raise the fire as a number."

Lao Zhao pondered for a while, sorted out the mistakes, and then replied cautiously.

"Good."

Ma Zhifeng was very satisfied, his gloomy face instantly returned to its original state, he picked up the wine glass again, and put the wine in the glass into his mouth.

"It's a very good wine."

I don't know if this wine is really good, or because of something else.

After leaving the mansion, Yang Qiyu shook his head slightly, a gust of summer breeze blew, but his drunkenness weakened slightly.

"General."

The guards who were waiting at the door saw Yang Qiyu coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"The general is a little drunk?"

"Do you need to go home and rest?"

Seeing that Yang Qiyu was already a little drunk, the guard asked with a little concern.

"No problem."

"Let's go inspect the city defenses first."

Yang Qiyu waved his hand, if he didn't go to inspect the city defense first, he would feel uneasy. Since he was dispatched to guard Xiangzhou, it has become a habit to inspect the city defense every day, regardless of the scorching heat and cold winter.

"Yes."

The guards bowed down to receive the order and handed the reins of the horse in their hands to Yang Qiyu.

Although he was a little drunk, Yang Qiyu was still very agile, turning over and getting on the horse.

"Drive."

The war horse neighed, and in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared into the night.

Xiangzhou is separated by a river, Fancheng County, at this time, it is very weird, like purgatory on earth.

On both sides of the street, the gates were closed, and on the streets, countless soldiers dressed in blood-stained armor and stomach, holding spears in their hands, shuttled back and forth.

On the ground, rivers of blood flowed and the corpses of soldiers were strewn with them. It has obviously experienced tragic fighting before.

"General Qiyu."

On the city wall, a soldier with a blood-stained face and a blood-stained horizontal knife in his hand walked quickly in front of a man in bright armor and bowed down to report it.

"The four gates of Fancheng have been taken."

"The defenders have been ambushed, and there is nothing left alive."

"Good."

The general was satisfied, and his gaze looked south, like electricity, which could pierce the night. There, that's where Xiangzhou is.

"You stand down and tell everyone to get ready."

"Tonight, our army will definitely take Xiangzhou in a battle."

The general still looked ahead, and gave him a deep order.

"No."

On the city wall, it gradually quieted down, and there was only a faint sound of wind, and it came in bursts.

"General Liu, there is such a Yaxing."

A very abrupt voice came from behind him, but he didn't care, and he didn't even look back.

"Why be so sneaky?"

"Now that you're here, how about enjoying the night with me?"

"Although there is no moon, it is accompanied by blood, and it is also extremely beautiful."

General Liu's face was expressionless, and his tone was indifferent, as if he was saying to the night.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

In the night, a man in black clothes and a black face flashed out. He slowly moved to General Liu's side, but he didn't make a sound, like a ghost.

"Who are you?"

General Liu finally made a move, he tilted his head slightly, looked at the man in black beside him, and asked.

"Passers-by."

The man in black spoke, his voice a little hoarse, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"What do you intent on?"

General Liu continued to ask, and it was clear that such an answer was not enough to satisfy him.

"Why should you care too much?"

"All of this, nothing to lose to you, is there?"

"Such a big gift, you gladly accept it."

"You can also understand that I have an enmity with Nanchu, you take your city, and I will revenge mine, that's all."

"After the deed is done, you and I will be separated."

The man in black spoke indifferently, but it made General Liu frown secretly, he didn't get what he wanted.

"In that case."

"That's fine."

General Liu had no choice but to continue questioning.

The man in black is mysterious, and he has sent people to secretly follow and investigate several times, but it is useless.

This man in black, who appeared in his mansion out of thin air, has verified the truth of what he said several times. You can't trust him completely, but you can't disbelieve either.

High-ranking officials are generous, glorious and wealthy, and seek danger in danger. He didn't lose money on this deal. Now, Fancheng has been taken, only waiting for Xiangzhou.

Tonight, some moonlit dark and windy high.
