On the last day of May of the 17th year of Hongwei, the Wuling army suddenly marched north with the whole army and attacked Guang'an City, where Xiao Jinwu, the commander of the Northern Dynasty front.

The reinforcements of the Northern Dynasties reacted quickly, quickly assembled more than 300,000 troops, and after paying more than twice the casualties of the Southern Dynasties army, the 12 guards of the Beijing Division temporarily repelled the Wuling pro-army and kept Guang'an, and the two sides began to confront each other again.

However, everyone understands that this attack is mostly tentative, and after the Southern Korean army has finished resting, it will inevitably launch a more fierce attack, and the real test is coming.

In the marshal mansion of Guang'an City, Xiao Jinwu was carefully studying the sand table, he had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.

Suddenly, Gao Deyong hurriedly walked into the Shuai's mansion, leaned into Xiao Jinwu's ear and said, "Dashuai, the person sent out to find the Apocalypse Guard has returned." ”

Xiao Jinwu was stunned: "It's only been a few days, why did you come back?" ”

Gao Deyong said: "It is said that he found a person named Xu Ange forty miles away, claiming to be Xu Rui's companion." ”

"Xu Ange? Where are the others? ”

Xiao Jinwu was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Gao Deyong said: "It's right outside the door." ”

"Let him in!"

Xiao Jinwu exclaimed, hurriedly threw down the small flag in his hand, and took a few steps out, since the battle started, this was the first time he heard Xu Rui's news, how could he not be surprised?

An Ge walked in from outside the door, he only brought two guards along the way, disguised himself and secretly crossed the war zone, which was regarded as a hardship, and when he arrived in Guang'an City, he was already disgraced and dirty, like a refugee fleeing the military disaster.

But even so, Xiao Jinwu still recognized An Ge at a glance, and said happily: "An Ge, it's really you, what's wrong with Xu Rui?" ”

An Ge knelt down on one knee, hugged his fist towards Xiao Jinwu and said: "An Ge has seen the handsome, my young master is all right, he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!" ”

Xiao Jinwu looked An Ge up and down, before leaving the capital, this teenage boy was still childish, but at this time, he already had a little perseverance.

Xiao Jinwu is too familiar with this kind of change, it is the transformation that can only be achieved through the tempering of blood and fire, it seems that Tianqiwei must have fought a lot of tough battles during this time.

"Hurry up and tell me what happened during this time?"

Xiao Jinwu pulled An Ge to the chair and sat down, and couldn't wait to ask.

An Ge did not hide it, and told the whole story of Tianqiwei after entering Xichuan, and heard that Tianqiwei was caught off guard and fought tens of thousands of Wuling troops with less than 1,000 men and horses, and killed 3,000 enemies and held the position.

Not only Xiao Jinwu, but even Gao Deyong on the side was thrilled when he heard it, and he was amazed.

"Good!"

Xiao Jinwu suddenly got up and said excitedly: "The great victory of Tianqiwei not only frustrated the spirit of the Southern Dynasty army, but also dragged the Southern Dynasty army in Xichuan for more than 20 days, which bought precious time for our army to calmly deploy defenses, and it should be our army's example!" ”

He groaned slightly, and then said, "Let me ask you, is there anyone to prove this?" ”

An Ge said: "Before leaving Xichuan, our army hyped this matter in the rout of Tianhe Pass, it should have spread in Xichuan, and the enemies killed by Tianqiwei have all cut off their ears as evidence, just in Hechun County, if there are still people who don't believe it, you can catch a prisoner of the Southern Dynasty and ask casually, this battle cannot be faked!" ”

"Good!"

Xiao Jinwu clasped his palms together and laughed, and said to Gao Deyong: "Immediately write this matter into a report, in duplicate, one for a quick report to the saint, and the other for the whole army to boost morale!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Gao Deyong laughed and led away.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, An Ge hurriedly said: "Dashuai, Tianqiwei is running out of ammunition and food at the moment, and urgently needs medicine and ammunition supplies, all kinds of ammunition are manufactured by the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, I can't stay here, I have to go to the capital as soon as possible." ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Jinwu's face suddenly sank, as if there was something unspeakable.

An Ge immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked weakly: "Looking at the appearance of the handsome, could it be that something happened?" ”

Xiao Jinwu looked at An Ge, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Let me ask you, did the Apocalypse Guard bombard Bandung City after leaving Xichuan?" ”

An Ge nodded: "Bandung City slandered our army for surrendering to the enemy and refused to open the door, our army ran out of ammunition and food at that time, and was in urgent need of food and grass, so we had no choice but to make this decision." ”

Xiao Jinwu sighed: "It turned out to be true, and the bad is bad here." ”

"What do you mean?"

An Ge asked inexplicably.

Xiao Jinwu shook his head and said: "Zhou Chun, the prefect of Bandung, accused Xu Rui of surrendering to the Southern Dynasty and attacking Bandung City in a big way, and the song has been sent to the capital a few days ago. ”

"What?!"

An Ge was shocked: "Our army fought bloodily in front, no matter how desperate the battle situation was, no one had ever surrendered to the enemy, and dragged hundreds of thousands of Southern Dynasty troops in Xichuan with flesh and blood, how could the imperial court treat me like this?!" ”

Xiao Jinwu patted An Ge's shoulder and said, "Boy, don't be impatient, no matter what, there will always be Xu Rui's bombardment of Bandung City."

To tell you the truth, there is also a shell shell shell sent into the palace with the song, the cannon is a top secret thing, and this shell is ironclad evidence, and the other person has already been punished by the nine clans, but for Xu Rui, the saint only said that he would investigate thoroughly, which is already a great grace. ”

An Ge snorted coldly: "The soldiers are desperately defending the country on the front line, but someone is secretly shooting cold arrows in the back, no matter what, it is chilling, I don't know what the saint thinks, I only know how difficult it is for those big-headed soldiers to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers!" ”

Xiao Jinwu shook his head and said, "The matter has come to this, what else can you do?" Instead of whining here, think about how to deal with the aftermath. ”

"Aftermath?"

An Ge was stunned.

Xiao Jinwu said: "I believe that Xu Rui did not surrender to the enemy, how can the saint believe it?" Even if the saint believed it, how could the Manchu civil and military forces believe it? As long as someone doesn't believe it, the supplies you want will never be delivered to Xu Rui! ”

"What?!"

An Ge finally understood the seriousness of the problem, if there was no supply, the Apocalypse Guard might not be able to move an inch, and even self-protection would be a problem.

"How's that okay?"

An Ge was thinking about it, and then heard Xiao Jinwu say in a deep voice: "It's not all, don't forget that Xu Rui stayed in the Tianbao Pavilion in the capital, it was a piece of fat that everyone was staring at, and now Xu Rui is unlucky......"

"Someone dares to hit the attention of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?!"

An Ge suddenly jumped up when he heard this.

Tianbao Pavilion is the brainchild of the young master, if someone dares to hit the attention of Tianbao Pavilion, isn't it moving his reverse scales?

If the young master knew about this, with his temperament, he didn't know what kind of fierce reaction he would make, in case he couldn't hold his breath and really rebelled, it would be bad.

"General, please save the Apocalypse!"

An Ge "plopped" and knelt down in front of Xiao Jinwu.

"Hurry up, it doesn't have to be this way!"

Xiao Jinwu hurriedly pulled him up, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Rui is a general in front of the battle, and he is also a pillar of my northern country, no matter what, I will not stand idly by, what I am worried about now is how Zhou Chun's letter passed through the war zone and was sent to the capital?" ”

An Ge was stunned: "The general means ......"

Xiao Jinwu nodded, his face was gloomy and terrifying: "You guessed right, this is clearly a counter-plot to divide the monarch and ministers, there must be a very important spy in the court."

This person not only has hands and eyes, but also clearly knows the importance of Xu Rui to the northern country, and his power position must not be low, and he is likely to be a person who walks in the inner circle of power! ”

"Someone who walks in the inner circle of power?"

An Ge was startled, and subconsciously reached out and touched the bag in his arms, which was handed to him by Xu Rui himself when he was leaving, saying that if something was wrong, he would open it and act according to the plan, but did the young master really expect these problems?
