Three hundred years ago, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who ruled Dongshenzhou, suddenly died, and he had no children under his knees, so the Great Zhou Dynasty was in chaos, and the legions and gate lords in various places rebelled and wanted to replace him.

The turmoil lasted for decades, and the Great Zhou Dynasty did not fall in the end. The pattern of Eastern Shenzhou finally stabilized, but the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided, and one dynasty became five. The Southern Chu Dynasty is one of them, when the Southern Chu Dynasty was established, the Southern Chu Emperor was a great meritorious hero, rewarded twelve kings of the opposite sex, and the Southern Chu Dynasty had twelve vassal states.

More than 200 years have passed, and three of the twelve vassal states have disappeared into history. Two were banned and recovered by Southern Chu, and one was annexed by Yasukuni, and now the Southern Chu Dynasty has only nine vassal states.

Jingguo is one of the nine vassal states, and the merits of the country were large and small, and the vassal states also had ranks. Jingguo is a third-class vassal state, and its territory is not large, with only six states and counties in total.

Tiannan County is the southernmost county of Jingguo, one of the six major state counties, and the town guard of Tiannan County is naturally regarded as a feudal official. Wu Qi, the general of the second rank army Hou Zhennan, is a well-known big man in Jingguo, and he is the overlord of the party who will tremble three times when he stomps his feet in the south of Jingguo.

There was some chaos in Tiannan County.

Fortunately, the war has not spread, the captain Zhou Xian and the general Wang Tuoba Wu are still in Ruicheng to resist the army of Cai Guo, Ruicheng has not been lost, and there has not been a large-scale escape in Tiannan County.

Tiannan County originally had 15,000 garrisons, and only 5,000 were left by the lord of the country.

Wu Qi knew that this battle was related to the fortune of the country, Jingguo was destroyed, and his general Zhennan was gone. So lately he has been working very hard, training the army day and night, ready to reinforce the front at any time. At the same time, all kinds of armaments and materials were raised, and grain and grass were hoarded.

"Father!"

In the Zhennan General's Mansion, a handsome young man in armor strode into a study, he held a few letters in his hand, and said with a gloomy face: "Half a month ago, something happened to Huya Pass, and Nie Yang and they were killed. ”

"Huh?"

There was a huge desk in the study, and behind it sat a lean old man with a figure-eight beard, his eyes swept over, and his sharp gaze looked like two knives. He paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?"

"Li Yunyi!"

The young man's face was full of anger, and he handed the letter over and said, "Li Yunyi has blocked the Huya Pass, and the news has not been transmitted. Recently, the lockdown has been lifted, and news has come from our talents. ”

"Li Yunyi?"

Wu Qi showed a trace of surprise on his face, picked up the letter and looked through it carefully. After reading the incense for a long time, he read a few letters a few times before he said in a deep voice: "Nie Yang Xu Xun has let a cripple kill these few wastes? Li Yunyi is not dead? And he easily controlled the Huya Pass, there is something strange in it......

"Father!"

The young military general arched his hand and said: "Please ask my father to transfer me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the child will go to take Huya Pass, and tie up Li Yunyi and send him to Jingcheng." ”

"Nonsense!"

Wu Qi slapped the table and said angrily: "When is it? Cai Guo's army is about to fight, and you still have to mess around? Wu Xing, after so many years, you can't make some progress?"

Wu Qi was furious, Wu Xing shrank back in fear, and defended in a low voice: "Li Yunyi privately beheaded the military attache of the imperial court, violating the law of the country. And the tiger teeth are behind us, don't you want to stabilize the rear and share the regent's worries?"

"There are more than 2,000 troops in Huya Pass, and he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the Nanban Mountain Range, what can Li Yunyi do?"

Wu Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them for now, just arrange spies to monitor them closely." When the army of Cai is repulsed, the regent will naturally deal with Li Yunyi, and it is not our turn to worry about it. No matter how you say it, it's a prince, not for you and me to move. ”

"Hehe!" Wu Xingman muttered indifferently: "The regent is about to ascend the throne, Li Yunyi is a crippled prince, he has no power and no power, what is it?"

"Shut up!"

Wu Qi glared at Wu Xing angrily and said: "What can you say these words? Get down, don't toss lately, and honestly go to train the new army." If Jingguo perishes, we will all be finished. ”

After Wu Xing went down, Wu Qi picked up the letter and read it again, and then muttered: "Li Yunyi, Li Yunyi, since you are already dead, why do you still want to come back to life? Even if you are alive, you still dare to mess around in Huya Pass? and let you be at ease in Huya Pass for a while, and wait to defeat Cai Guo's army, hum." ”

......

Five days later, Wu Xing hurriedly walked into the Zhennan General's Mansion again, this time still holding a letter in his hand, but he did not dare to open the letter.

"Something?"

Wu Qi was handling official business, and glanced at Wu Xing, who leaned over and said in a low voice: "Father, the people below have received a letter, and they dare not open it privately, let me send it to you personally." ”

"What letter?"

Wu Qi took it and glanced at it, and there were four words on the letter, "Ling Gongqinqi". Seeing these words, as well as the font, Wu Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light. Ling Gong is his name, ordinary people don't dare to call him that, and he is very familiar with this font.

Instead of rushing to open the letter, he asked, "Where did the letter come?"

"It was sent by the people at the inn. Wu Xing's eyes were also a little confused, and he said: "It is said that the post man who delivered the letter said that the above told you to open it personally, and there was nothing else, and he left directly after delivering the letter." ”

"Inn?"

Wu Qi's eyes flashed with suspicion, the words on it were very similar to Li Yunyu's words, but Li Yunyu's previous letters were all sent by specific communication bats, why did they send them from the post station this time? You must know that the delivery from the post station is not only slow, but also very unsafe, easy to lose, and easy to be intercepted.

Wu Qi opened the letter, Wu Xing's body deviated slightly, and he saw the words on it. There were not many words on the letter, only one sentence, and there was a signature and a seal.

"Uh......"

After seeing it clearly, Wu Xing's face was full of surprise, the payment was Li Yunyu, and the seal was also Li Yunyu's seal. But the content of the letter made Wu Xing very confused, and a sentence was written on the letter - the north city is in chaos, the south city is safe, and it is urgent!

Jingguo does not have two cities, "North City" and "South City", does South City refer to Tiannan County City? Li Yunyu wrote a sentence in the clouds, what does it mean?

Wu Qi kept staring at the letter, the light in his eyes flickered endlessly, and he didn't say a word.

After waiting for a while, Wu Xing became a little impatient, he frowned and asked, "Father, what does this mean? Why can't I understand it, could this be a fake letter? How could the regent let the people at the post station deliver the letter? Didn't the regent just send a letter a few days ago? The seal is not right, the regent seal fell last time, this time it is a private seal, will there be a problem?"

"There is indeed a problem!"

Wu Qi stood up, paced back and forth in front of the window with the letter, and muttered, "There is a big problem, is there something wrong with Jingcheng......?" Isn't the fourth prince in Ruicheng? The general king hasn't gone back, what can happen?"

Wu Xing didn't understand even more, and asked in a daze: "Father, what does this have to do with the fourth prince and general Wang? What can happen if something happens to Jingcheng? His Royal Highness King Yu is now the regent, and the lord of the country has not woken up yet, and the entire Jingcheng Imperial Forest Army and the city defenders are under the orders of His Royal Highness King Yu, what kind of chaos can Jingcheng cause?"

"You know!"

Wu Qi scolded angrily and said: "In all dynasties, how dangerous is it to fight for power and seize the throne? How did Li Hongtu get to the throne back then? Four or five brothers were all killed by him. His Royal Highness King Yu becomes the regent, once the country is the guest of heaven, he can directly ascend the throne, what will you do if you are the fourth prince?"

"Father means...... The fourth prince secretly dispatched troops to kill the regent?"

Wu Xing's eyes shrank, and he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed: "That's right, Jingcheng is in the north, that's the north city, and our Tiannan county town is in the south, that's the south city." The north city is in turmoil, the south city is safe - Jingcheng is in turmoil, the rescue of the south city can be stable, and the regent is asking us to send troops to help. Jingcheng estimated that there was a problem, and some of the defenders of the Imperial Forest Army might have taken refuge in the fourth prince, and the regent did not dare to use flying bats to send orders, for fear of being shot and intercepted, so he secretly sent his subordinates to pretend to be post guards to summon the news. ”

"It's a possibility..."

Wu Qi's eyes flickered, and he continued to pace back and forth, muttering: "It is also possible that this letter is fake, the enemy army wants to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and they want to attack Tiannan County." ”

Wu Xing thought about Wu Qi's words, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Father, our Tiannan County City is not important, Cai Guo's army is still in the east, and it is impossible to attack Tiannan County City across thousands of miles. Even if Cai Guo's army secretly sent an army to attack thousands of miles, then what was the point of attacking Jingcheng and defeating our Tiannan County City?"

"Well, that makes sense!"

Wu Qi bowed slightly, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Tiannan County can be lost, and there must be no accident on the regent's side! Spread my military order, the four thousand Tiannan army and two thousand new troops in the city will be dispatched to rush to the aid of Jingcheng with me in the starry night." Wu Xing, I will leave 1,000 veterans and 3,000 new troops for you, no matter what the situation, you only need to defend the county town. The county town is well fortified, even if 10,000 troops attack, there is no ten days and a half to think of defeating. If the enemy army is coming, you will summon me immediately, and wait for ten days and a half to wait for me to return. ”
