On the border of Hezhou, war is about to break out.

If there is a muffled thunder on the land in the direction of Youzhou, the two Huai Festivals make Cai Nan wear iron armor and hold the iron spear, this border general is full of sadness, and the tens of thousands of northwest elites under his command are not fighting with the Northern Mangmang barbarians to the end, but to die in civil strife?

The two Huai army foot soldiers are in the middle and refuse the horse, and the two wings of the cavalry echo, and the arrangement of troops is very modest, not that Cai Nan does not want to ride against ride, and has a dignified death battle with the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, it is really a reckless Gu Party old department like him, even if the army is superior, he still has no confidence to play tricks with that army. Cai Nan didn't expect his Lianghuai to be able to stop the young vassal king, so he could only hope that he would leave as many Xu family cavalry as possible, two thousand, or three thousand? As for how many men and horses the imperial court could stop in the next few passes bordering Jizhou and the Central Plains by virtue of the dangerous and geographical advantages, it was really Cai Nan's "afterlife", which was not only the aftermath of the territory map, but also the posthumous matter of Cai Nan after he died in battle.

Cai Nan raised his eyes and looked, the terrain was flat, undulating and inconspicuous, and there were large patches of white snow, and he didn't think of a very scenic word for no reason, and the bones were not cold. Thinking about your corpse in a few hours, it should be cold soon, right?

The northwest is snowy and big, the cold land is out of the athletes, the two Huai Dao Jizhou had Yang Shenxing's Jinan foot soldiers, known as the only one in the world, and promoted to the festival envoy Cai Nan near the water tower, the two Huai border troops under his command were soon regarded as the first class combat power of the Liyang Imperial Court second only to the two Liao, with the following Tang Tieshuang, there were several local officials who were also old generals of the Gu Department, and recently entered Beijing to serve in important positions, Cai Nan not only did not have much luck, but smelled a few traces of danger, in the final analysis, those are the king's yellow and purple official uniforms in exchange for local military powerAnd the power of the hundreds of thousands of border troops held by the generals?

Cai Nan exhaled heavily, and sent Han Lin out of the battlefield with the strategy of treating the young emperor as his confidant, and then led the army to die here, is it a passable explanation to the general, to the court and to the Son of Heaven, is this the so-called loyalty and righteousness in the history books?

Living in the peaceful world of peace for a long time, and becoming a feudal official who has enjoyed happiness for many years, Cai Nan did not realize until this moment that the stunned young man who followed the general and was bent on death was actually a little afraid of death, especially if he died in vain.

The neat hooves of the Beiliang Iron Rider were like beating a drum, hitting Cai Nan's heart drum hard, and it made it difficult for this Jiedu to make it difficult for adults to take a breath.

There is no need to be far away from the sentry and report at night, Cai Nan can see with the naked eye that the cavalry is exactly at the edge of the best charge spacing, stopping the horse, one horse is the first to go out of battle, and then about a hundred horsemen follow the horse.

Cai Nan, who was nervous about the heartstrings, was confused, and became more and more worried, the confrontation between the two armies on the battlefield is not a child's play in a romance novel, what two main generals will stand out alone, and fight hundreds of rounds heartily, it is all nonsense. But there are indeed more than 100 horsemen in front of him who left the Beiliang army alone, could it be that the surnamed Xu in order to win the hearts of the army, with the strength of his own land immortals, wants to take the head of the army among the generals? Cai Nan was a little angry when he thought of this, really when his own bed crossbow array was not set up? In order to deal with Xu Fengnian's chaotic formation of 10,000 enemies on the battlefield, Cai Nan specially sent people to take the Jiedu envoy talisman to scavenge the land in the entire Lianghuai Road, and almost all the bed crossbows outside the northern defense line were requisitioned or seconded in one breath, and there were more than 50 bed crossbows, and the family background of the two Huai Dao was placed behind Cai Nan in a bright light, not only to deal with the single-handedly trap of a few horses, but also to greatly deter the collective charge of the iron cavalry.

As soon as he rode first, the horse's hooves did not stop, and it was not until Cai Nan was three hundred steps away from the formation that he stopped the momentum of the forward rush, not only Cai Nan, the main general who was cultivated by the little grandmaster, but also the elite guards and the two infantry generals around him vaguely saw the heroic appearance of the horse.

It is the famous Beiliang King Xu Fengnian!

This young vassal king who followed the slaughter surnamed Xu killed no less than ten top grandmasters in the rivers and lakes, and killed 300,000 Beimang troops, with bloody hands, all the way to today, and killed here.

Even if he is in the hostile camp, in the face of this person, there is still a little admiration and awe that has to be admitted, among the sons of the old generation of two-character feudal kings in Liyang, this young man can be described as a peerless ride, Jing'an morality Zhao Xun also hereditarily replaced his father's prince, but his low eyebrows are like a watchdog of the Son of Heaven, Zhao Zhu, who was originally known as the first person in the Liyang family, was criticized in Guangling Road, and Zhao Yi, the eldest son of Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong, was not able to be regarded as a provocative eye in the war between the two Liao, as for Zhao Bi, the son of the king of Guangling, there is no need to take it out to be embarrassing。 Cai Nan waved his hand casually, the sweaty elite scout hurriedly retreated at night, Cai Nan stared at the young man in the middle of the two armies, he was behind a hundred horses, no armor or sword, one person only carried a sword, presumably it was the Wu family hundred swords that were rumored in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains last year, as a leading general who guarded one side for the imperial court, Cai Nan has always had little interest in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and all his skills are tempered in the blood and water on the battle array。

But the hundred horses in front of him made Cai Nan dare not underestimate him at all, and as for the young vassal king led by him, Cai Nan naturally did not dare to take it lightly. If it weren't for Xu Fengnian stopping his horse three hundred steps away, Cai Nan wouldn't even care about any demeanor, and without saying a word, he would order a bed crossbow to shoot on the spot, the rivers and lakes are reckless and afraid of military crossbows, and martial arts masters are afraid of bed crossbows, all of which are bloody lessons that countless people have exchanged for their lives, especially the heavy bed crossbow, which has the reputation of "flying swords within half a hundred", Cai Nan admits that he does not dare to face several bed crossbows with crossbow arrows as huge as guns. If it weren't for this, Beimang would not have greeted the king of Beiliang with a bed crossbow outside Hutou City last year.

The Wu family rode a hundred swords and solemnly stopped the horse.

This is the first time they have returned to the Central Plains after leaving the Wu family's sword mound and entering Beiliang, and the demon surnamed Zhu behind the sword crown Wu Liuding and the sword servant Cuihua even closed his eyes and sniffed hard, his face was full of intoxication, and he sighed: "I smell too much blood and horse manure outside Liangzhou Pass, or the air here is more comfortable." I just don't know if I can smell the aroma of wine and fat powder when I really go to Jiangnan in the Central Plains. ”

Only separated by two horses from the Wu family swordsman whose real name is Zhu Huang, Xu Fengnian smiled: "According to the previous agreement, as long as you follow this king all the way south this time, and arrive at a place where you can see the wall of the capital city of Western Chu, a hundred of you can restore your free body, and then whether you go to the rivers and lakes to make a comeback, or find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to hide your name, this king doesn't care, and the Wu family will not care." ”

The great demon of Zhu, who was also extremely murderous in the Wu family's sword mound back then, said with a smile: " Lord Wang, this word works for others, I can't talk about being kind to Lao Zhu, back then in that ghost place was just to kill a few more guys surnamed Wu, Wu Lao'er himself has no ability, so he teamed up with someone to knock sixty bundle nails into me, the means are not very clever, but unfortunately the technique is quite unique, if it is not the Wu family's lineage, you can't pull out those things, Lao Zhu has always been rather a chicken head than a phoenix tail, the first time to enter the Central Plains rivers and lakes, do not catch a martial arts review of the four masters, no longer with Deng Tai'a tricks, I am sorry for my own more than 40 years of sins in the Wu family, so, these nails on the body, I have to bother the prince to intercede with the old immortal Wu Lao'er, As long as the prince is willing to open this mouth, although Lao Zhu never knows what the morality of the rivers and lakes is, he is not the kind of ungrateful person, even if the prince wants me to go to Tai'an City to kill someone, Lao Zhu can also pat his chest and agree, Lord, what is this deal, do it or not?"

Zhu Huang, who has a strong yin atmosphere, and Deng Tai'a were both illegitimate sons of the Wu family, and they were thrown to Jianshan early to fend for themselves, but in the first battle of the year, Deng Tai'a who won entered the rivers and lakes and became the peach blossom sword god, after losing Zhu Huang because of his murderous intentions, especially the killer almost killed a side house of the Wu family, and was imprisoned by the old ancestor of the Wu family who was furious without passing on the secret technique. As for leading the Wu family's hundred swords to Guangling Road this time, not only Xu Weixiong, but even Chu Lushan had objections, because Xu Fengnian promised them a free body, which was not a negligible loss for Bei Liang. On the battlefield where the battle situation is stalemate, this Wu family's 100 people and 100 swords, once put into the battlefield, can definitely become the key winner to turn the tide of victory. I can't kill Tuoba Bodhisattva, but my strength is as strong as Hong Jingyan and Murong Baoding, and I'm afraid I will be terrified.

Without waiting for Xu Fengnian to speak, Wu Liuding, who regarded Zhu Huang as an enemy, turned his head and said angrily: "The surname Zhu, if you can pull out sixty nails, I can help you stuff another sixty!"

Zhu Huang lazily sneered: "Just by you kid? Haha, your Wu family is really interesting, these two generations are all with handles, it is better not to bring handles. ”

The sword servant Cuihua's fingers moved slightly.

The short old man who was carrying an extremely long and thin ancient sword frowned and said, "Zhu Huang, you don't want to make an inch. ”

This old man is also in the Wu family's sword mound with countless secrets of the burial sword, because he is a sword idiot, Wu Liuding helped take a funny nickname of "marrying the sword grandfather" when he was a child, different from Zhu Huang, who has never left the Wu family, or Zhang Luantai, Gongsun Xiushui and Nalan Huaiyu, the famous swordsmen who still have expectations for returning to the rivers and lakes, the eighty-year-old man is only obsessed with kendo in his life, but he is limited by his own root cultivation, and he has a mind full of unique kendo insights and swordsmanship knowledge, and he has never been able to personally raise the sword to practice, when the old man entered Beiliang, he twice talked to the young feudal king about the battle of kendo, such as a confidant, he had the idea of falling into the north of the mantle, as for the family and country that the literati and martial artists valued, the old man has always been very indifferent。

Xu Fengnian didn't turn around, and said softly: "Everything will be said on the side of Xichu Capital, if it is not surprising, there should be one or two battles to fight, and strive for our Beiliang Daxue Dragon Rider not to die, of course, you don't die." The great rivers and lakes are waiting for your predecessors to become famous. ”

Wu Liuding said angrily: "Leave some seeds for the rivers and lakes, right? Lao Tzu is strange, this kind of thing of slapping a swollen face and becoming a fat man, no matter how outsiders look at it, it looks like a fool's business, how come it comes to your side, and it looks extraordinarily arrogant to do it?"

Xu Fengnian turned his head and glanced at this young sword crown who was going toe-for-tat with him from beginning to end, and he didn't care.

However, Hong Shuwen, the old department of the Fengzi Battalion, who traveled with King Beiliang again this time, sneered: "Our prince is more handsome than you, and his skills are a few floors higher than you, you kid is not convinced?"

Wu Liuding smiled and said, "Why are you not convinced?"

Hong Shuwen said with a natural face: "Unconvinced? Then you have played tricks with our prince?"

Xu Fengnian ignored the bickering of the two, and shouted to the two Huaidao armies: "Cai Nan, talk about it before the battle?"

Cai Nan didn't hesitate too much after hearing this, and rode out of the column alone, the infantry generals wanted to stop it, and naturally they didn't want their own lord to risk himself, after all, the young vassal king not far away was one of the four genuine martial arts critics, but the festival made the adult downplay and put down the sentence "Xu Fengnian wants to kill people, so he won't do it like this."

The two riders each stepped forward more than a hundred steps, stopped their horses and looked at each other, Cai Nan took a deep breath, looked at Xu Fengnian in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "If the prince wants the general to retreat, there is no need to waste his tongue!"

Cai Nan, who was leaning on the iron spear, saw that the young vassal king seemed to be blocked by himself and had nothing to say, his eyes just crossed his own one person and one horse and looked at the two Huai border troops, Cai Nan was silent for a moment, and continued: "Let you Xu Fengnian be a martial arts master who is higher than General Gu, but you are not your father after all, not the great general Xu Xiao, it is still not worth me Cai Nan to get off the horse and avoid!"

Xu Fengnian retracted his gaze and asked: "If I am not mistaken, this king has already asked the spies of the water room to send a message to General Cai, and it is okay for the general to block the road today, but try to place the elite on both wings, and let our cavalry rush by, we have fewer dead, and you can have fewer dead." Isn't that bad?"

Cai Nan said coldly: "The general should have not received the news, as a military general in charge of military affairs at the border pass......"

Xu Fengnian suddenly interrupted Cai Nan's words, "General, you didn't receive the imperial decree, did you?"

Cai Nan's face was indifferent.

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "General Cai thinks that my Beiliang cavalry army has suddenly made a surprise and the Tai'an City side is caught off guard? The general really thinks that the Zhao Gou spy planted in Hezhou is so unbearable? No matter how slow the Beiliang cavalry army advances, the holy decree is destined not to be sent to this Hezhou 'on time', and it will always be not faster or slower than this battle, just one step later." ”

Cai Nan said expressionlessly: "What about this? The imperial court has its own proposition of princes and princes, and I, Cai Nan, only need to be worthy of the iron armor on my body!"

Xu Fengnian tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, this king took the initiative to talk to you Cai Nan, and didn't think about asking your army to make way, the reason why I gave you a message before was because I gave a certain old guy a face when I was a general, and the reason why I talked nonsense with you today is because there is an old man who is a big official in Tai'an City, and he said something from the heart to this king." ”

Xu Fengnian turned the horse's head and left slowly, and the words that were not light or heavy came into Cai Nan's ears, "Since you don't want to behave, the two Huai border troops want to be loyal to the country, then Beiliang will fulfill your wishes." On the battlefield, against my Beiliang Iron Cavalry, why is it difficult to die?"

Cai Nan's face turned pale and returned to his own large array.

The spring of the third year of auspicious charm.

The heavy snow dragon rode by like a tide, and the elite of the two Huai with a strength of nearly 40,000 collapsed.
