After hearing General Xiang's words, everyone held their breath and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore, but they acted according to General Xiang's instructions.

Just when Xiangjia's army was about to send spies to listen to the enemy's reality, Sima's army actually stopped moving forward, camped two miles away from Xiangjia's army, and rested in place.

General Sima's abrupt move made the people of Xiangjia's army confused, and they didn't understand what this old general who was famous in Beining was thinking.

General Xiang had seen General Sima in the court, and he knew a little about his character and preferences, and knew that General Sima would not fight unprepared battles, and he stopped the footsteps of the army, not afraid of his own army at all, among them, there must be another mystery.

Through what happened just now, the deputy general seemed to be enlightened, and said in a deep voice: "There are tigers and leopards in front, and jackals in the back, all of them are waiting for the opportunity to move, general, we are now suffering from the enemy on our backs!" ”

His eyes narrowed, and he said condensed in the general's voice, "What you said is right. When the gate of Lanling City is opened, Lanling soldiers will pour out from inside, and behind, there will be Sima Dajun eyeing us. Now only by breaking out of the encirclement from the right side and killing to Lingzhou can we get rid of the pattern of being contained. Vice General Chen, you take a team of elite troops to Lingzhou first, and the others, the camp tent is not collected, the bonfire is not extinguished, just tonight, evacuate Lanling overnight! ”

"Yes!"

The people who were full of pride just now are like lost dogs, scattering and fleeing for their lives in a hurry. And General Xiang was even more angry, and this battle had not yet begun, and it had already ended in a hurry.

Standing on the city wall, Baili Lan used a homemade telescope to observe the enemy's every move, and after finding that Xiang sent a small team of men and horses to the general to leave, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, so he put down the binoculars, threw them to the spring breeze, and said to the people behind him: "General Xiang can't sit still, prepare to close the net!" ”

Nangong Jingchen seemed to have dozed off just now, and was awakened by Baili Lan's voice, rubbed his eyes and said, "It's really slow enough to make a decision to General Xiang, I just dreamed of recovering the Xiang family's army." ”

Glancing at Nangong Jingchen, Bai Lilan sat beside him, holding a teacup with an elegant posture, and said: "Wake up quickly, if you can recover a fierce general by dreaming, then you can't afford to sleep for a long time!" ”

Nangong Jingchen stretched his waist and said lazily: "It's not good for you to curse your husband like this, if there is anything, we can discuss it slowly." ”

"Now is not the time to discuss slowly, if I were you, I would quickly mobilize the military horses, save that old fox from slipping away, you will be busy in vain."

The aura of distress in his eyes gradually disappeared, and Nangong Jingchen's eyes showed a sharp light, although there was a smile in his voice, his tone was fierce, and people didn't dare to ignore it.

"Next, it's time for the world to remember King Lanling! Lan'er, go with me, I want you to witness this moment with me! ”

Looking at the palm stretched out towards him, there were clear lines on it, dry and warm, just like the feeling of its owner. With a faint smile, Baili Lan also stretched out her hand and put it on Nangong Jingchen's palm, and her hands were combined into one and held each other tightly.

***

That night, General Xiang quietly rushed to Lingzhou with the disguised army at the appointed time. I thought that after arriving in Lingzhou, I would see the deputy general coming to answer, but after waiting at the border of Lingzhou for a long time, I didn't find a single figure.

"General, what's going on, what about the adjutant general? Otherwise, let's take a look around. ”

General Xiang's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't care about the general's suggestion. Suddenly, General Xiang pulled the reins hard and roared: "Retreat, quickly, all retreat!" ”

"General Xiang, it's too late to retreat now!"

Another clear voice suddenly sounded, unusually loud in the night, and at the same time, countless torches poured up from the peaks on both sides, illuminating the dark night as bright as day.

When everyone could distinguish the things in front of them, they found that Xiangjia's army of nearly 200,000 troops had been surrounded by the black-armored soldiers in front.

The incessant neighing frightened the horses of the Xiang family's army, and they kept swaying backwards and waves, and they were not controlled at all. The sudden situation made Xiang Jiajun annoyed, especially the short-tempered general, who was five big and three thick, and thought that he had a loud voice, and he didn't want to see his brothers being frightened around, so he raised his neck and roared angrily: "Where did the third grandson come from, if he has the ability, he will stand up, and hide in the shadows, what kind of hero is it!" ”

Although it was noisy, the rough voice of the partial general still floated in the valley, and in the hearts of all the soldiers of the Xiangjia army, it was like taking a reassuring medicine, and the manic mood was relieved. Everyone's eyes turned to the silent General Xiang, waiting for his arrangement.

Hearing the general's provocative words, the black-armored soldier seemed to have received some kind of signal, and suddenly quieted down, making the night calm again. In the eerie silence, the black-armored soldiers in front of them automatically retreated to both sides, and from the back of the group, a figure slowly appeared.

Under the light of the torches, Nangong Jingchen, who was in a wheelchair, gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

Looking at Nangong Jingchen's wheelchair and the pattern of his gorgeous clothes, he sneered at the general and said disdainfully: "Who is my Tao, it turned out to be a chaotic minister and thief, Nangong Jingchen!" Look at these soldiers behind you, where is the scale of a feudal king? The wolf's ambition is really a crime! ”

Nangong Jingchen smiled, fiddled with the wrench on his finger, and said gracefully: "This king doesn't prepare these soldiers, do you still have to wait for you to fish and flesh Lanling?" Oh, Lord Xiang is really naïve, could it be that the emperor is suspicious for no reason, that is, this king deserves to be unlucky, no matter what unreasonable demands the emperor makes, this king should agree unconditionally? ”

"Isn't that what a courtier should do?" Lord Xiang looked straight at Nangong Jingchen, his voice was full of confidence, as if he was interrogating a great evil person who was a traitor, and said in an aggressive tone, "Even if the emperor is wrong, as a courtier, he should be like a mirror, fearless of the authority of the Son of Heaven, and bravely admonish, so that the king of a country can act fairly, not be mistaken by traitorous ministers, and the country will prosper." As for you, King Lanling, you are simply using the emperor as an excuse to use your power for personal gain, and support your own army, which is really a treason and should be spurned by the people of the world! ”

"What you said to the general is really righteous and awe-inspiring, but are you sure that the Emperor of Beining will really accept the kind advice? Why was Lord Zhou arrested and tortured to death for no reason, and why did Lord Liu suddenly have an accident and fall to his death? Okay, you can say that these two cases are accidents, they are natural disasters, and ordinary people can't do anything about it, but Princess Changning, just because her husband wrote a poem to express her depression, she was imprisoned by the emperor, tortured to the point of being inhuman, and finally couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide! The whole of Bac Ninh knows about this, if the emperor has a little tolerance and accepts the injustice of governance reflected in the poems of the concubine, then will such a tragedy still happen? Princess Changning is the emperor's own daughter, so who can make the emperor of Beining let down his guard and truly accept the suggestion with an open mind? Hmph, I'm afraid I don't even know General Xiang himself! Seeing that General Xiang was silent for a moment, Nangong Jingchen said again, "Whose life is precious, if it is used for the construction of the country, the defense of the subjects, and the benefit of the people, even if it is sacrificed for the country, I am willing, but for the sake of the ethereal vigilance of the Emperor of Beining and give my life, I, Nangong Jingchen is unwilling!" ”

"Nangong Jingchen, after saying so much, aren't you still timid and afraid of death, you have the ability, you come over and try it alone with Lao Tzu! Hmph, you are a cripple, do you still want to fight for the throne, it's so ridiculous! Seeing that the formation on this side was weakening, the general couldn't help but pull his neck and shout loudly, emboldening everyone and building momentum for himself.

Hearing the provocation of the partial general, everyone in the Xiang family army raised their weapons in their hands, shouted mightily, and responded to the partial general, and at the same time, Xiang General looked left and right, intending to sink to find a breakthrough point, and led the troops to rush out.

Calmly looking at the scene in front of him, Nangong Jingchen didn't say a word, just slid his wheelchair and slowly came from in front of Lanling Bing to a distance of five hundred meters and stopped. Nangong Jingchen's actions were abrupt, making people unable to see the purpose behind him, and he was silent because of an unknown sense of fear, and countless pairs of eyes watched Nangong Jingchen's every move with exploration and vigilance.

The cold gaze shot straight at the partial general, and he didn't seem to notice the small movements of the general, still as elegant as the wind, and the gentleman was like a star. It's just that what happened next made everyone stunned, and even began to suspect that everything that happened tonight was just a dream......

I saw Nangong Jingchen holding the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, his eyes were resolute, and his arms were slightly bent, and then the whole person got out of the wheelchair and stood up!

"Heavenly ...... Oh my God, the King of Lanling actually stood up! He...... Isn't he a cripple, how can he stand up!? ”

Such surprises came and went, even General Xiang was surprised, and even forgot about the deployment and evacuation, completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

Nangong Jingchen couldn't do it when he was eight years old, this is something that the whole of Beining knows, because there was another major event that happened that year, that is, the inexplicable death of the old princess. The cause of the old princess's death has not been solved to this day, so there are many versions in the market, the most widely circulated of which is that the old princess leaked the heavenly secrets and suffered punishment, as her son, it was difficult to escape, so that the lively little boy was depressed and lost the ability to walk, and since then it seems to have changed as a person, and the Lanling palace has gradually disappeared, and finally became a forgotten corner of the Bac Ninh royal family.

But since Nangong Jingchen sent out a message saying that the death of the old princess was related to the emperor, many skepticians re-examined the matter, including General Xiang who stood in front of Nangong Jingchen. But General Xiang never thought that Nangong Jingchen would have a chance to stand up again, and the moment he saw Nangong Jingchen get back up, General Xiang knew that he had lost, and he had lost completely, such a dormant young man, I am afraid that even the Emperor of Beining would be defeated under his hands.
