Yunzhou.

Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian sat in the city tower and played against each other, both of them enjoying themselves.

The lady kneeling next to her to make tea is plump, well-dressed, charming and affectionate, and her every move is light and freehand.

Outside the tower, the sound of killing shook the sky, the fierce battle was in full swing, the soldiers of the two armies fought to the death, and the city wall seemed to be caught in a hurricane on the sea, crumbling in the monstrous waves and whistling winds.

At the center of the storm is like an island tower, but it is peaceful and leisurely, as if it is out of the matter, even though the sword and sword shadow are close in front of you, but not a single arrow can get close to the window half a step.

After finishing the chess game in his hand, he took the tea bowl from the handmaiden's slender white hand, and took a sip of it, Wei Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, put down the tea bowl, and then looked out the window.

"Borshu is crazy, day and night onslaught, all the elite soldiers are dispatched, it is completely a never-ending posture, as if he can't survive if he doesn't capture Yunzhou immediately. ”

Wei Wuxian touched his chin and sighed.

In the past two days, the Beihu army has attacked the city regardless of casualties, and the blood in front of the city is drifting, and the corpses are piled up like mountains in many places, even if they are cultivators of the Forging Body Realm, they can step on the corpses and jump directly onto the city wall.

In this case, the soldiers defending the city have long been replaced by elites, and the troops of Chen Yi, Yun Yong, Fang Moyuan, He Ping, Geng Anguo and others took turns to fight.

Even so, the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the Yunzhou Army were also very large, and all the departments gritted their teeth and fought hard with the Beihu soldiers, and the will became an important aspect of the game at this time.

This is still the situation where there are many elites in Yunzhou.

If it weren't for Zhao Ning's years of preparation, Yunzhou would not have Chen Yi, Yun Yong, Fang Moyuan and others, a large number of elite cultivators under their command, and the sharp soldiers who had been recruited early and trained for a long time under the guidance of the Zhao clan, with only the original Great Qi army, with such a deadly offensive as Borshu, I am afraid that Yunzhou would have already fallen.

When Wei Wuxian spoke, Zhao Ning was still looking at the chessboard and thinking.

He lost the game.

In the field of chess, he almost did not win against Wei Wuxian. The other party likes this when he is young, he has studied a lot, and he has a far-reaching layout when he talks about it, and there is no idle chess without saying it, and there are often subtle foreshadowings.

This is actually related to the other party's temperament, although Wei Wuxian was born in a general, he is thoughtful and scheming, and he likes to think about things behind his back.

When they were young, they fought with other gentlemen in the Yanping market, and the other party always played the role of a dog-headed military advisor who gave advice, and there were endless layers of tricks.

A few years ago, Wei Wuxian was also known for his intrigues, and at first the combat strength of the Longyou Army was not outstanding, and the reason why he was able to win the battle was because he relied on his plan.

Sometimes if he loses in chess, Zhao Ning will secretly ponder that if the other party is in a different camp from him, each leading his troops and horses to compete head-on on a new battlefield, without the huge advantage of rebirth, without the extraordinary convenience of "anticipating the enemy first", and without the layout that began many years earlier, he may be difficult to defeat the other party.

From this aspect, Zhao Ning felt that there was still a big gap between himself and the existence of the Great Wisdom and Demons, and he was not a wise and inhuman immortal.

Realizing this, Zhao Ning felt happy instead.

This has to do with one of his next big plans.

In this plan, Wei Wuxian needs to use his ingenuity and wisdom to really take charge of himself.

Hearing Wei Wuxian's voice, Zhao Ning gathered his thoughts and swept around the battlefield outside the window, seeing another sea of black and oppressive human heads, rushing forward from the Beihu army in the distance:

"Borshu is in such a hurry, it's just because the situation in Yangliu City has already burned his eyebrows, he wants to capture Yunzhou City first, defeat us, and then send people to take care of it. ”

Wei Wuxian nodded: "In this way, Borshu should personally appear and come to challenge us with all the King Extreme Realm Karma Hands in the camp."

"As long as he can defeat us and produce an advantage in the number of Wang Ji Realm cultivators, he can at least send a few Wang Ji Realm back to Yangliu City, and then Yangliu City will be able to hold on. ”

Zhao Ning took a sip of tea and did not answer.

In the past two days, Borshu has not fought with Wang Jijing, and there is only one reason, and that is that he is not sure of defeating him. Therefore, Borshu chose to let the army desperately attack the city, wanting to rely on the army to win the war.

When Zhao Ning put down the tea bowl, Wei Wuxian suddenly said, "Borshu is here." ”

Zhao Ning turned his head to look, and saw that Borshu really led a group of Wang Ji Realm cultivators, and forced towards the city tower like a wild goose.

If you are not sure that you will still fight, you have no choice, you are red-eyed, and you have to give it a go.

Zhao Ning stood up: "Then let's go and greet us." ”

......

A day later, Weizhou.

Borshu asks to see Motomujin.

He knelt in the courtyard and waited for a long time, but no sound came from the room.

He knew that he had made Yuan Muzhen unhappy, he failed to capture Yunzhou, and he came back for help, which was indeed a manifestation of incompetence, and he deserved Yuan Muzhen to be angry.

But there was no way for Borshu, he couldn't help but come.

The bloody battles of the past few days have shown that Yunzhou, as he had predicted before, would not be able to be captured within ten days, and now Yangliucheng is in danger, and he is no longer able to stabilize the situation with the strength under his command alone.

Only by asking Yuan Muzhen to temporarily go out of the customs and use the supreme cultivation of the realm of heaven and man to go to Yunzhou to kill Zhao Ning, or go to Bianliang to kill Zhao Qiyue and Sun Kang, can the war proceed normally.

When Borshu came back this time, he undoubtedly automatically admitted that he had nothing to do with Zhao Ning, and he and the soldiers under his command lost the face of the Tianyuan royal court and insulted the majesty of the Tianyuan Khan, and they were not worthy of being called warriors.

For Borshu, this is a great shame that he has never seen in his life.

But the situation is stronger than people, and for the sake of the overall situation of the war, Borshu can only ask for help.

He was ready to be punished again.

It doesn't matter if you are punished, and even losing the power of King Zuo Xian is deserved, but the plan of the Tianyuan Royal Court cannot suffer a huge setback.

Borshu felt that at this time, even if Yuan Muzhen was angry with him, he would not hesitate to hesitate, and he would definitely leave the customs immediately and go to Yunzhou first.

Killing a Zhao Ning in the middle of the Wang Extreme Realm was a no-brainer for Yuan Muzhen.

This is the great cause of the royal court, and the suspension of retreat is nothing compared to this.

However, Borshu was disappointed.

Half an hour passed, and Motoki did not show up.

An hour passed, and there was still no sound in the room.

He became more and more anxious, sweating profusely.

At the moment, the military situation is in full swing, and he doesn't understand why Motomu Zhen refuses to go out.

It doesn't make sense at all.

Finally, when Borshu was so anxious that he was about to judge himself on the spot and apologize for his crimes, Motomujin's voice sounded in the room, majestic as before, but more cold, and implied anger.

"Who is the commander who led his troops to attack Yunzhou in the past few days?"

Borshu didn't understand why the other party asked this, but he answered honestly.

Then, he heard an order that gave him a creepy break.

"The battle is unfavorable, the battle situation is delayed, and all the troops will be beheaded in front of the army!"

Bor's technique is like falling into an ice cave, and his body is cold.

For so many years, the Tianyuan Royal Court had never killed a general of the level of Wanfu because the war was not going well.

Every cultivator in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm is the backbone of the army, and the loss of one is a considerable weakening of the army's combat power!

In the past, there were commanders who were unfavorable in battle, and they also used other punishment methods to not hinder the opponent's cultivation and combat strength, and cut off the opponent's opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

And now, Yuan Mu Zhen is going to kill four Wanfu Commanders in the late stage of the Yuan God Realm at once!

"Great Khan...... Yunzhou failed to capture, it was all the minister's fault, please ask the Great Khan to punish one of the ministers, leave these captains alive, and give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions...... "Borshu grabbed the ground with his head.

"My order is a holy decree, Borshu, do you dare to question it?"

Borshu was speechless.

"A warrior who is invincible in battle is not worthy to be called a warrior, but can only be a slave. Go back, you can't capture the Central Plains, and your head can't be saved!"

Bor is as earth-colored as an earthy face.

He never thought that Yuan Muzhen would refuse to go out!

It's just a matter of killing a Zhao Ning, such a simple and hugely significant thing, why is the Great Khan unwilling to do it?

Borshu suddenly thought of a possibility.

He was startled, and instantly cold sweat soaked his back.

Don't...... The Great Khan retreat is not to improve the realm, but is really as Zhao Ning said, it is to recuperate from injuries?

As soon as this idea came to him, Borshu felt that the heavens and the earth had lost color, and the world was dark.

He didn't dare to think about it, so he quickly dispelled this thought, got up and quickly left Weizhou.

......

Zhao Ning, Wei Wuxian, Song Ming and others stood on the cornices of the city tower, looking at the camp of the Beihu army together, and observing the movements of the other party's army from the flank.

"At this time, Borshu actually divided his troops and left Yunzhou, what did he want?" Song Ming didn't know why.

Zhao Ning's plan for Borshu is clear: "Since we are dividing our troops to leave Yunzhou, we are naturally going to attack other places." In terms of the current situation, the greatest possibility is to march to the southwest, attack Huazhou and Caozhou, and support Yangliucheng. ”

Yunzhou has a tight defense, sufficient defenders, and elite support for the overall situation, Borshu can't be attacked for a while, but it is very simple for the other party to see Yunzhou.

The Qi army in Yunzhou City can defend the city, but it is not strong to fight out of the city, so Borshu can unscrupulously divide his troops to the south, or even attack the city while going south.

"In this way, wouldn't Huazhou, Caozhou, and other places be dangerous? There are not enough defenders there, and most of the Wang Divisions who were originally going to support them have gone to attack Yangliu City!" Song Ming was shocked.

Wei Wuxian said in a deep voice: "It's not just the states and counties in the south, as long as Borshu sends people, the states and counties in Qilu are just as dangerous. With the current situation, once the Beihu soldiers and horses arrive, it is basically impossible for these places to survive a round of onslaught. ”

Song Ming was anxious: "How is this good? What can you do about it?"

Zhao Ning waved his hand, signaling Song Ming not to panic: "The soldiers and horses under the command of Borshu who are heading south may indeed quickly attack the city and seize the land, but if they want to support Yangliu City, they are too far away.

"As long as the Central Plains King Division recovers Yangliu City, he will be able to support it in a big way, and there will be hope that the situation will be stabilized at that time. ”

Song Ming sensed that something was wrong: "It's just hope?"

Zhao Ning didn't explain much: "How will it be in the future, I will only know when I get it." ”

"Then what should we do?" Song Ming asked again.

This time, Zhao Ning stopped talking.

Such an obvious question, he didn't bother to answer.

Fortunately, Song Ming also reacted in time.

What can they do? Naturally, they will defend the city.

If you don't lose Yunzhou, you can drag down a large number of soldiers and horses under Borshu, avoid the situation of 200,000 troops crisscrossing everywhere, and also make the pressure on the defenders everywhere much less.

Song Ming thought about it, and his spirit gradually perked up: "As long as the situation can be stabilized, with the people's and material resources of our Great Qi, it won't take too long, and the military strength will be greatly enhanced, and then Beihu will be defeated!"

This is a good reason, but the words are too simple, Wei Wuxian said leisurely: "We want to stabilize the situation, but it also depends on whether Yuan Mu is really willing or not." ”

Song Ming was puzzled: "Isn't Yuan Mu really seriously injured and in retreat, and he can't play in a short period of time?"

Wei Wuxian sighed twice: "He himself can't show his face, but he can mobilize a lot of forces to support the battlefields of Yunzhou and the Central Plains." ”

The so-called "forces that can be mobilized", Song Ming thought that Wei Wuxian was talking about Charahan who was attacking Hedong, and he was very happy at the moment: "Fortunately, Charahan didn't even capture the Jingcheng Pass, so he was unable to support Borshu at all." ”

Wei Wuxian didn't pick up.

He didn't bother to talk to Song Ming anymore.

He looked at Zhao Ning: "Have you thought of a way to deal with it?"

Zhao Ning smiled lightly: "What do you say?"

......

With the help of Zhao Yujie, Song Zhi, who was dividing the territory of the various knots on the map, saw Jing Xinmo enter the door, and said in surprise: "Why did the big companion come back so soon?"

After the discussion the day before yesterday, he sent Jing Xinmo back to Bianliang to see Kong Yanhua, and according to his arrangement, Jing Xinmo had to wait until Bianliang's problem was solved, and then bring Zhao Qiyue back.

"Your Majesty, things have changed, and the old slave has to come back immediately. Jing Xinmo's expression was solemn, and the things he wanted to say were important, but there was no urgency in his words and deeds, and his breath was very stable.

"What's going on?" Song Zhicha stopped the pen in his hand, he felt Jing Xinmo's solemn attitude, the other party must have changed dramatically when he came back at this time.

"Your Majesty: Master Kong was imprisoned by the queen's mother!" Jing Xinmo's words were clear and powerful.

Song Zhi and Zhao Yujie were both shocked.

Song Zhi asked in a deep voice, "What is the reason?"

"Disobedience to military orders. ”

"Has Otomo seen him?"

"I saw him in prison, but he didn't ask anything, he was imprisoned in public in the main hall at that time, and the queen's attitude was resolute and the excuse was strong. ”

Song Zhi was furious, and dropped the brush in his hand, "Bastard! Since he was imprisoned in the main hall, no one in the palace came out to stop him? Those officials from the poor door just watched it like this, and let the queen do whatever it wanted?"

"The officials who stopped them in the main hall at that time were all imprisoned together. Speaking of this, Jing Xinmo paused, "As for the aftermath, the officials of the Hanmen did not say that they did not gather to oppose or make trouble, and they did not even mention this matter again. ”

Song Zhi was stunned and puzzled, and then became even more angry, "The queen has only been gone for a few days, so many poor officials in Bianliang have become her echo worms?

Jing Xinmo took out a fold from his sleeve, handed it to Song Zhi with both hands, and then lowered his head, and his voice was solemn:

"Because the queen said that everything she did was for the overall situation of the national war, without any selfishness, and she also asked each regiment to train and defend as the envoy of the festival!"

Hearing Jing Xinmo's words, he took the excerpt that Zhao Qiyue asked the other party to forward, and Song Zhi's face suddenly turned blue and purple with anger.

Sealing the regiment and training the envoy and defending the envoy are the greatest means for Song Zhi to convince the people and show his emperor's sense of existence, and it is also the biggest bargaining chip for his subordinates.

And now, before his order was issued, Zhao Qiyue actually united with his ministers and put forward this proposal first!

In this way, even if those regimental training envoys and defense envoys become festival envoys, they will not be grateful to him Song Zhi, but will be grateful to Zhao Qiyue, and most of the credit for the promotion of officials to the knighthood will be counted on Zhao Qiyue's head!

Zhao Qiyue's prestige in the army and the support he has gained will become unprecedentedly strong!

On the other hand, he Song Zhi paid a lot of power, but he could get very little.

He originally wanted to use the power of the Jiedu envoy to let Kong Yanhua unite the training envoys and defense envoys to drive Zhao Qiyue back from the position of Bianliang commander, but now he was stabbed by Zhao Qiyue's counter-general!

How can Song Zhi not be angry?

He was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yujie and Jing Xinmo hurriedly helped.

"Who is it, who leaked the heavenly secret?!Who is it, who made Zhao Qiyue take the first step to bring this up?!Who is calculating me?!"

Song Zhi crushed the fold, opened his bloodstained mouth, and let out an angry and unwilling roar.
