After the Chu general Yangming left the front line with suspicions, the acting general Qu Rong held the power of the army and wanted to take Yucheng and Funiu Mountain in one fell swoop, so he launched an offensive, and the Ba people fought back stubbornly.

The Chu army, because the main general Yang Ming left suddenly, the generals were puzzled, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they were defeated and returned to Tingzi Pass.

Qu Rong finally understood that the time was not yet ripe to replace Yang Ming, so he ordered to stick to it and think about countermeasures.

The henchman Han Zhuang persuaded Qu Rong to launch an offensive again, take Yucheng in the shortest possible time, and achieve the first success, while Qu Rong believed that the ideological problem of raising the old generals of the Ming Dynasty needed to be solved first, and he would rather maintain the status quo than add to it.

In the hesitation of the Chu army, the reinforcements of Pakistan did not stop all the way, and about 20,000 reached the vicinity of Yucheng.

Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince of Pakistan, was eager to recover Tingzi Pass before his father personally arrived, and on the second day he ordered a fierce attack on Tingzi Pass.

The people of all walks of life were eager for revenge, regardless of the dead and wounded, and fought with the Chu army at Tingzi Pass, but they still could not attack.

In the meantime, it was rumored that Xiong Liangfu, the king of Chu, and Zhao Xixi, a famous minister, had arrived in Yicheng, and the Chu army was even more confident.

The Pakistani army launched a large-scale offensive until the third day, but it was still difficult to advance a single step, so it had to be suspended, and the two armies were exempted from fighting.

In the afternoon of this day, the sky was cloudy, Hu'an Mountain's son Gu Menglong, the boat master general Tu Tianqi, and the mountain master Pu Yancang went to Yuhou's mansion to discuss matters, and they did not return for a long time.

The lord of Pakistan personally conquered and brought the Baguo Tiger Army, which had a luxurious lineup and had collapsed the army of the king of Shang, and the morale of the Ba army had risen significantly.

However, Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince, and Ba Xiu, the general of the same company, knew very well that what the monarch brought was not the elite of the Jiangzhou Tiger Army, and even some of them were temporarily pieced together, first, because the fierce battle of Bachu was the best time for the Shu people to retaliate, and they would inevitably be ready to move, and the safety of the capital Jiangzhou would always be more important than the Danfushui Valley; second, the power of the Baguo court had actually begun to fall, and it was the "Shizi faction" represented by the prince Ba Dong'an, Shangqing Xiangshang, and the general Ba Wujian who really affected the situation.

Ba Yuan'an and Ba Xiu have already seen clearly that the Ba people of Danfushui (Wujiang) are the backbone of defending the land.

It's a pity that the people of Chu also understand this. When it was found out that the lord of Ba was personally confronted, King Chu Xuan wanted to go to the front line to fight with the king of Ba, and the ministers Zhao Xi Fuxi, Jiang Yi and others thought that it was not necessary to deal with the small country of Ba, and at the same time thought that the terrain of Ba was too complicated, and if it appeared, it would be easy to be cut off, and the biggest thing would be broken. Therefore, King Xuan of Chu decided to only go to the base camp of Vaba to Yicheng.

The upper echelons of the Pakistani army were anxious, but the middle and lower class samurai felt bored because of the temporary truce and no duty duty.

Moreover, the first sword of Pakistan and the young hero red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong "died and resurrected" on the battlefield of Yushui, which became a hot topic of discussion among the samurai of Pakistan.

This afternoon, the samurai Mu Mangzi, Wucheng, Mu Qingshan, Long You and others came to the tent where the red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong lived, and watched Fan Yuntong and Zhihu Mou Zhong fight each other.

Fan Yuntong has no more hobbies except for martial arts, and is influenced by his father, the former lieutenant general Fan Zhen, who loves Yiyi the most and has a very high level;

The two went down to the middle game, Mu Zhong lost a son by mistake, Fan Yuntong smiled proudly: "As soon as this stinky son falls, Zhihu loses everything!"

Mu Mangzi learned from his master Wu Zhen, and when he saw Fan Yuntong's smug attitude, he couldn't help but say a hidden word, which laymen don't understand, but the masters on both sides of Yi understand.

Mu Zhong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "High! It's really high! From now on, Mu doesn't dare to be called the number one master!" After speaking, a sunspot fell lightly.

Fan Yuntong began to disagree, and when he heard Mu Zhong's words, he raised his head and said angrily to Mu Mangzi: "Guan Yi is silent and true gentleman!"

Mu Mangzi immediately smiled and said: "The loser is not angry with General Wei! ”

Of course, Fan Yuntong thought that he was a good fighter and a good fighter, so he had to put away his anger, stared at the chessboard, and thought for a while before he hesitated to fall down.

The two sides lost a few more pieces, Fan Yuntong saw the reversal of the situation, and suddenly pushed the game, the chess pieces fell to the ground, and stood up "openly"!

The people around hurriedly dodged, and Wu Cheng and Long You quickly stepped forward to protect Mu Mangzi.

Long You is really protecting Mu Mangzi, and Wucheng wants to take the opportunity to fight.

Fan Yuntong said with a smile: "The battle is like a battlefield, and victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Fourth brother, you are right! But I want to ask: Where is the wonder of that son?"

Fan Yuntong said that he actually gave a salute to Mu Mangzi, and to Mu Mangzi's surprise, he had to return the salute.

Mu Mangzi smiled: "It's not wonderful. ”

Fan Yuntong wondered, "What does this mean?"

Mu Mangzi smiled but did not speak.

Mu Zhong smiled and explained: "That son seems to be raging, but he is actually an idle man, and he is useless, but I said high, the red-faced tiger was suspicious in his heart, and believed it to be true, but he didn't see where he was high for a while, so he came to deal with it and messed up." If you follow your former ways, I will be defeated. ”

Fan Yuntong said: "It's really high!"

Mu Zhong said with a smile: "This is how water can overcome fire." ”

The arrogant Fan Yuntong was fooled by Mu Mangzi and Mu Zhong's singing and harmony, and he was no longer in the mood to fight against him, so he said to Mu Mangzi: "Fourth brother, I heard that you throw your sword very accurately, and the pitcher is not bad, do you dare to compete?"

Wu Cheng said: "The pitcher is mostly an empty lamp made by scholars or women who are bored, why not compare it to archery?"

Mu Mangzi also smiled: "The carving insect trick is not enough to worry about! And there should be no game in the army. ”

Fan Yuntong said: "Otherwise, it's much more lively than the arrow." Said to Long You: "I heard that you are a good gambler, you go find a gambling device to use." ”

Long You said: "Why bother, I'll go and ask the guy to find a jar, and take a few more arrows to compete." ”

Fan Yuntong applauded.

Long You likes to gamble the most, when he goes not long, he finds a bronze jar with a small mouth and round belly, which is about one foot high and has five, the top of the neck has the same size, symmetrical ears, there are two phoenixes on the outer surface of the neck, and the abdomen is decorated with animal patterns.

Wu Cheng smiled: "Where did this night pot come from?"

Mu Zhong smiled: "It seems that you were not born in a poor family, and you use such a good night pot." ”

Long You said: "This is the pitcher of Zheng Erba Bai, it is estimated that it was snatched from somewhere, and the guy used it to hold water." If I hadn't gone, it would have been a pity for this good object. ”

The warrior who had already joined in the excitement took twelve arrows and prepared to hand them over to Fan Yuntong.

Fan Yuntong said: "Six branches each, you first, or me first?"

Mu Mangzi said: "Wait, you still need to take the head of the arrowhead, and then you can see the kung fu." ”

Fan Yuntong said: "There is not much difference. ”

Mu Zhong said: "Otherwise, if you take the arrow, the arrow shaft will be light and fluttering, and the crosshairs will be more difficult." ”

Fan Yuntong said: "It's okay. ”

Another warrior stepped forward to help, took off the arrowheads, and handed over six of them to Fan Yuntong.

With a distance of ten steps, Fan Yuntong threw out, and among the four middle pots, one hit the edge of the pot and bounced in, which was also considered a hit, and the third popped out of the pot.

Mu Mangzi took the arrow shaft without a feather and threw three in a row, easily hitting it all, and everyone applauded.

Subsequently, Mu Mangzi threw both of them at the same time. There were applause.

Mu Mangzi said: "This last one doesn't need to go into the pot." Throwing it lightly, the shaft of the arrow passed through the left ear of the pot and hung on the pot.

People applauded again.

Fan Yuntong admitted defeat and said, "How do you practice?"

Mu Mangzi was proud in his heart and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of concentrating and calming down." It's a small skill, it's not enough. ”

Several more pairs of samurai tried to throw.

Entertainment is not the most important thing for the samurai of Pakistan, and after the relaxation, they talk about the current war.

The red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong has been idle in Lin Yunguan in the sea of winds and forests for a few years, people are not idle, and their minds have never left the battlefield for a moment, every time they hear the report of the defeat of the Ba people, they shake their heads and sigh, and even paranoidly think that the reason for the defeat is that a super warrior like him is useless.

This comeback, Fan Yuntong was so suffocated that his whole body was about to explode, and he rushed to participate in the first battle, but he was not satisfied, and he made up his mind to be in the limelight, so he said: "This battle is the most sloppy I have ever seen, it is really incomprehensible! Although the five of us did not get the sword, they also swallowed the orb, how can we make the Chu people so rampant!"

Mu Mangzi heard Fan Yuntong say this, obviously wanting to be in the limelight, so he said: "I feel that I have swallowed the orb, although my skill has increased a little, it is not as you said, it will double my strength, it is better to be careful, and only when you take the sword can you be arrogant." ”

Fan Yuntong said: "If you don't take the sword, what's the matter! If you don't give the Chu people a little color, he thinks that the tiger he painted doesn't bite people, and he is really sorry for the name of the hero!"

At this time, Fan Yuntong's younger brother, Wu Baichang Fan Ju (note: the second son of Fan Yuntong's adoptive father Fan Zhen) came to visit.

As soon as Fan Ju, the commander of the Zongdu Mountain, entered the camp tent, he saw some people centered on Fan Yuntong, some kneeling, some standing, all laughing.

Fan Ju got into the crowd and saw that there were pitchers and Go, and he was furious and scolded: "Red-faced tiger! You are really a heartless person! My brother has just been killed, and his bones are not cold, you don't want to seek revenge from the people of Chu, but you are here to gather people to play games! You are the first sword of Pakistan in vain!"

Fan Yuntong listened to these words, his expression was very embarrassed, and his face was quite ugly. Everyone was also embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped, silent.

Fan Ju didn't want to say more, and said: "Tomorrow, I will pay tribute to my brother in the camp, if you still think that I am a member of the Fan family, please come and participate!" After speaking, he turned around and rushed away.

Seeing this, Mu Zhong said, "Let me say goodbye first!" got up to leave, and the others were also ready to leave.

Fan Yuntong shouted: "What to go!"

The people did not know what he was going to do, and they stood and did not dare to move.

Mu Zhong said: "General Red-faced Tiger, what else do you have to order?"

Fan Yuntong got up and said, "Although Fan Jin is not my brother and has grown up together since childhood, how can he have no affection?"

Most people thought that Fan Yuntong was the same father as Fan Jin and Fan Ju, because this situation was more common at that time.

Fan Yuntong continued: "Originally, I wanted to come to Japan to fight, take the enemy's head and dedicate it to my brother. Now, it seems, can't wait. The Chu general Qu Rong's department is on the mountain on the left side of the pavilion for the angle of the momentum, is opposite us, so we have to take advantage of tonight's night to take a Chu general's head, and use it first. Of course, it's better to be bent!"

Fans were taken aback.

Someone said: "It's better to be bright." ”

Mu Zhong said: "Red-faced Tiger, what do you mean?"

Wu Cheng smiled: "The third brother wants to learn to specialize?"

Fan Yuntong saw that the others looked at him and didn't speak, but Wu Cheng was responding, and said to Wu Cheng: "You only said, if I go to get someone's head, will you go with me?"

Wu Cheng said: "You and my brother, I naturally want to go!"

After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Mu Mangzi, but Mu Mangzi did not express his position.

Mu Zhong said: "The question is, how to take the law?"

Fan Yuntong said: "When my father was here, he once said to me: There will be a battle in Tingzi Pass. Once in Yushui, my brother and I accompanied my father to see the terrain here, and entered the opposite mountain, where there is a very hidden path to the top, but someone needs to lead the way. Sneaked into the mountain, took a human head, set a fire, and took advantage of the chaos to get out of the mountain. ”

Everyone didn't know whether to agree or oppose for a while, Fan Yuntong glanced around, found that there was one less frequent customer, and said dissatisfied: "Everyone who shouldn't have come has come, but they haven't come!"

Fan Yuntong's self-righteous problem gradually recovered, and he felt that these people did not give themselves face, so they did not save face for the people present at all.

Someone said, "Then let's go!"
