The ancient city walls of Xihua City stand in the vast land. The city wall stretches, like a giant with outstretched arms, holding the entire army and people of Xi Hua in his arms.

Fifty miles outside the city, the Great Zhou military camp was stationed, dozens of flags were waving in the wind, and the fierce tigers embroidered with gold thread on the black flags opened their teeth and claws, as if they could pounce out at any time and tear the prey into the belly.

This is the military flag of the "Tiger Army" led by the Generalissimo of the Southern Soldiers and Horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Prince of Zhongshun.

And the big banner with the word "逄" in black letters on a red background also greeted the wild wind hunting with the military flag.

In the barracks, there was an orderly order, only the sound of bustle and noise in the school field.

"Good!"

"Marshal Xiao is very skilled!"

"Wang Erhu, are you eating for nothing!"

"Four people fight one marshal, if you still lose, tonight's steamed buns will be distributed to the brothers!"

……

In the school field, four northern men with five big and three thick, broad shoulders and round waists were shirtless, covered with hot sweat and white air in the cold wind, and their bodies were covered with dust.

Even if they have been beaten down twice, the four of them are still not convinced!

And they didn't believe it!

The four of them are all men who "can stand on the fist and walk the horse on the arm", they are not opponents compared to martial arts, and they can't beat one of the four of them compared to wrestling? !

Look at the marshal like that, although he is strong, he is also a thin man, and everyone says that he does not lose his strength, but they don't believe that he will lose this time!

The four of them rushed forward with a loud roar at the same time.

The beads of sweat on the corners of his forehead slid down, bubbling white in the cold wind, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly faced the battle.

"The marshal is mighty!"

"You're trying hard!"

……

The onlookers were not afraid of the high stage when watching the play, and shouted excitedly.

Huzi pulled Zheng Pei, who had a fluttering beard and a fairy style, to watch the battle from the sidelines, shouting to cheer him up.

Zheng Pei was wearing a thick coat, looking at Xiao Xiao with a faint smile, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the smile lines at the corners of his lips, which made this sixty-year-old gentleman particularly loving.

The battle was quickly decided, and it turned out that wrestling is not all about strength, but also about skill.

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand to pull up the men he had knocked down, and said with a hearty smile: "Add dinner to the big guys tonight, let's eat meat today!" ”

"Good!" Everyone cheered, and the eyes of each man looking at Xiao Xiao were full of eagerness and admiration.

He laughed and talked to the soldiers for a while, and then walked to Huzi with his sweat.

Huzi immediately took Xiao Xiao's clothes and a big towel and greeted him, "Master, you were really amazing just now. ”

Zheng Pei also smiled and put his clothes on the owl, "The little prince has to be careful, if you don't pay attention to maintenance when you are young, what should you do if you are sick when you are old?" ”

Xiao Xiao wiped his sweat casually with a big towel, and tied his belt while walking towards the camp tent, "Mr. Zheng doesn't have to worry, we are used to staying in the north, and we really don't feel cold when we come to the territory of the Yan Dynasty, and we don't feel even more cold when we exercise." ”

"Yes, the master was so powerful just now, when will I be able to train like you? I'm embarrassed to be your guard! Huzi's eyes were shining.

After entering the camp tent, he poured a large bowl of water, and at this time he also felt that he had lost his sweat, so he put on a dark robe neatly and tied his hair with a belt.

The neatly dressed person is heroic and noble, and he is completely different from the hearty rough man just now.

Zheng Pei nodded with satisfaction.

When he was young, he was not good at hiding his emotions, and whether he was happy or unhappy was written on his face.

After so many years of experience, he has been able to change his aura at will, he is a rough man when he needs to be a rough man, he is righteous when he needs to be upright, and he can be unambiguous if he needs to be a fool of himself, but after people, he has always been lazy to talk a lot.

"Report!" Someone outside the tent replied in a loud voice.

"Come in."

"Marshal, news has come from Xihua City, the Emperor of the Yan Dynasty urgently summoned the two generals Sun and their families back to Beijing, and replaced them with a general named Wang Hui."

Hearing this, he waved his hand to signal the pawn to retreat.

When there were no outsiders in the account, Zheng Pei smiled: "It seems that the sage's plan has worked, and Emperor Yan is really frightened." ”

Huzi said: "I think that the dog emperor is a fool at all, greedy for life and afraid of death has no brains, but it's a pity that Sun Yuanming, although he used to be disrespectful, but he also has a different position, a weak man is so virtuous, in the end he is a good man worthy of admiration, master, don't you say?" ”

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "It can be regarded as a blessing that he takes the first step." ”

Huzi was puzzled, "Huh? "Yes.

Zheng Pei thought for a while, and then explained: "What the little prince said is right, Emperor Yan is suspicious and suspicious, timid as a mouse, presumably after reading our holy national letter, he will definitely be scared to death, their Yan Dynasty talents are withering, the treasury is empty, there is no one who can fight with the little prince, all he can do is to try his best to make peace." ”

"Summation?" Huzi blinked, and then suddenly, he was dumbfounded: "What does Mr. Zheng mean that Emperor Yan will take the Sun family under the knife?" ”

"Yes, what we want is Sun Yuanming's brain, Sun Yuanming refuses to give it, the emperor of the Yan Dynasty was not only reprimanded by our saint, but also threatened like this, this simple-minded fool will inevitably think of using the Sun family to calm the anger of our saint."

"This idiot." Huzi laughed: "It's good that he will kill all those who have the ability." Let the people of their kingdom hate him to death! ”

Listening to the excited conversation between Zheng Pei and Huzi, Xiao Xiao thought of the person related to the Sun family.

Her family has suffered such a catastrophe, and her future life should also be affected.

Xiao Xiao was a little worried about Qin Yining.

Even if she is the daughter of an enemy, in his heart, she is always special.

Zheng Pei is a good person, and when he saw his expression, he asked with a smile: "What is the little prince thinking?" ”

He asked jokingly, "Isn't the little prince thinking about that Qin family girl?" ”

Xiao Xiao sat lazily on the circle chair, the corners of his mouth were smiling, his eyes were sharp, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Pei.

Zheng Pei was stripped of a piece of meat by his glance, but because he was a strategist who had been with Xiao Zhongzheng, and he was half of Xiao Xiao's master, he watched Xiao Xiao grow up with his own eyes, and he was not shy about talking.

"Little prince, there are many beauties in the world, what kind of woman do you want with your talent? Why do you always think about Qin Meng's daughter? Could it be that the little prince is pleased with her? ”

"How did this king say that he liked her?"

"What does the prince mean?"

"The king doesn't know yet."

"Don't know?" Zheng Pei frowned.

Xiao Xiao said bluntly: "It is precisely because this king doesn't know what he feels about her that he wants to defeat the Yan Dynasty as soon as possible, put her by his side when the time comes, and then think about it slowly." ”

Huzi looked at Xiao Xiao dumbfounded.

You're clearly looking at someone! I have offered the pearls and flowers that robbed others as treasures, what else is there to think about!!

Zheng Pei's face was ugly, "Little prince, don't forget how the prince went back then!" If it weren't for Qin Meng's dog thief, why would the family be here! ”

"The two armies are facing each other, their positions are different, and they have died in battle." Xiao Xiao's index finger tapped on the table, "Qin Meng is certainly hateful, but the most blasphemous person is not the one who was suspicious of my father in the first place?" ”

Zheng Pei pursed his lips and was silent.

Indeed, if it weren't for the suspiciousness of the faint monarch at that time, how could a discordant plan with loopholes to be found really put the Xiao family to death?

To put it bluntly, the emperor is just a master of high merit in his middle age, and the emperor is jealous.

"Besides, didn't Mr. Zheng take revenge on Qin Meng back then?" Xiao Xiao said again.

Zheng Pei's voice was raised: "It's just that I stole a girl out, I don't think Qin Meng is very sad, what kind of revenge is this?" Back then, we wanted to retaliate but were unable to do so, so we had to make this decision. Now that we have status and power, we can do it at any time if we want to crush them, so naturally we shouldn't let Qin Meng go. ”

Xiao Xiao's heart was on fire, and he smiled: "Since you know that you will retaliate against Qin Meng in the future, why do you want to take an innocent person?" ”

Zheng Pei was speechless for a while.

At this moment, a shrill and hoarse voice came from outside the tent: "Generalissimo, our family has come with the secret decree of the Holy One. ”

It's the Army of the Army!

On this expedition, Emperor Zhou sent the great eunuch Lu Yuan to accompany the supervising army.

Huzi smiled and went to invite Lu Jianjun in.

Lu Jianjun was in his early thirties, of medium stature, with a delicate appearance, a white face and no beard, and he bowed respectfully to the young man, and presented the secret decree sealed with wax in his arms with both hands, smiling flatteringly.

Xiao Xiao glanced at Lu Jianjun, opened the envelope, and took out the note inside.

There are only two words on it - "slaughter the city".

Xiao Xiao's face remained unchanged and he put down the note.

Huzi and Zheng Pei have been paying attention to the movement of this side, and when they caught a glimpse of the two words on the note out of the corner of their eyes, their hearts jumped.

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Is the person who delivered the decree still there?" ”

"Back to the little prince, the people have already gone back."

"This king knows, and he bothers the prison army to go on this trip."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Lu Jianjun smiled and saluted, and respectfully retreated.

As soon as the person left, Zheng Pei stroked his palms and smiled: "Holy plan!" In this way, the anger of the people of the Yan Dynasty that has been aroused will definitely go to a higher level! ”

Xiao Xiao Xi Xi Huacheng was a little bit of the direction of Huacheng, and asked with a smile: "What percentage of the number of women and children and real soldiers in the city do they have?" ”

This is a question with a known answer.

The spies of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already made it clear how many troops, how many people, and the geometry of grain and grass there were in Xihua City.

Zheng Pei understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and said disapprovingly: "The little prince doesn't want the kindness of a woman." Moreover, a secret decree is also a holy decree. ”

"A woman's kindness? Perhaps. Xiao Xiao sneered: "The Yan Dynasty claims to have 300,000 defenders of Xihua City, but in fact, counting the little boys in their early tens, the defenders of Xihua City are only 30,000. War is a war between men and children, what does it have to do with the old and weak women and children? The world is in chaos, and it is the common people who suffer! Could it be that the slogans we raised at the beginning were all false?! What the fuck is it called if I want to raise my knife and kill the old man, woman and child who are powerless!! This kind of beast is not as good as this, whoever loves to do it! I don't do it!! ”
