Chapter 194: Out of the Customs

"Brother Xiu!" Luo Ren's eyes were hot, and tears rolled back and forth. In the first battle of Xibu Mountain, nine deaths and one life, the current situation is tantamount to life and death. He choked up and said: "Brother Xiu, do you still remember our original oath? Brothers should live and die together, advance and retreat together, if Brother Xiu can return triumphantly in this battle, Brother Xiu and I will drink and talk happily in Zhenxi, if Brother Xiu fails to return, I will definitely go to Xibu Mountain, and go to Huangquan with Brother Xiu!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu and everyone present had a sour nose. Everyone knelt on the ground, and they all arched their hands and said: "We swear to live and die with Brother Xiu, advance and retreat together, if Brother Xiu loses, we will go to Xibu Mountain and go to Huangquan Road with Brother Xiu!"

Wei Tian's heart trembled, he looked around at everyone present, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu with deep eyes. He was able to become a climate in Zhenxi, and it was not entirely due to luck, there were a large number of subordinates around him who were loyal to him, which was the key to Shangguan Xiu's success.

Even if others are not in Zhenxi, but with these subordinates, the Zhenxi army will not be leaderless, and they can still twist into a rope and work together to resist the strong enemy, presumably this is the reason why Shangguan Xiu dared to leave Zhenxi at such a critical time.

Shangguan Xiu's heart flowed with a warm current, and he waved his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone get up, now is not the time to talk about this." The battle of Xibu Mountain is of course important and related to the survival of the Wind Country, but the battle of Zhenxi is also related to our own life and death.

"Brother Xiu, don't worry, we will live and die with Zhenxi!" everyone stood up and said in unison. The next chapter has been updated

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded, he looked at everyone deeply, and then asked, "Brother Wei, how many days will the Ningnan Army be able to reach Xibu Mountain?"

"If you march in a hurry, you are afraid that it will be there in five days. ”

"If that's the case, we can't afford to delay, and we need to leave now. "Jinzhou is not close to Xibu Mountain, it takes nearly two days from Jinzhou to Yicheng, half a day from Yicheng to Huyaguan, and at least half a day from Huyaguan from Xibushan.

Wei Tian nodded in response, "That's how good it is." ”

Shangguan Xiu looked at An Yifu and asked, "Yifu." ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"If Dongzhe's plan can be realized, how should our army resist the enemy?"

An Yifu's face was straight, and he arched his hand and said: "Our army can fight to the death with the enemy in Kuancheng!"

The two easternmost cities in Jinchuan County are Kuancheng and Songcheng, Songcheng is a small city, only a small place, not easy to hold, and Kuancheng is a large city second only to Jinzhou, the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Shangguan Xiu asked again: "What if Dongzhe's plan fails?"

An Yifu didn't think about it, and said categorically: "Resolutely abandon Kuancheng and Songcheng, lead the enemy deep, if necessary, Jinchuan can also be abandoned, stretch the enemy's defense line, our army retreats to Beiqiu County and Zhangshui County, and sends troops to the north and south together, and breaks the enemy one by one." ”

"That's a good word. Shangguan Xiu said to Luo Ren: "After the rebels arrive, you can act according to the views of Yifu. ”

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Luo Ren nodded, and then, he said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu must be more careful on this trip, if you can't win the battle with the enemy, I hope that Brother Xiu and his brothers will break out in time!

The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, patted Luo Ren's shoulder, and said, "I understand." "Shangguan Xiu has always been resolute in doing things, and he will do it immediately. He asked people to pack up a few clothes, bring some dry food and water, and then walked out with Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Wei Tian and others.

Luo Ren and the others followed out of the hall one after another and sent Shangguan Xiu out of the house. As soon as they walked to the vestibule, before they left the gate of the county governor's mansion, Ye Feixue chased them out, and when she saw Shangguan Xiu holding a package in her hand, she asked nervously, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to get out of the customs and go to Xibu Mountain. ”

"I'll go with you!"

"No!" Shangguan Xiu refused simply and said, "This time I went to Xibu Mountain, not for fun, but to fight. ”

"Then I'm going to go even more!" Ye Feixue said as a matter of course: "I'm also a spiritual cultivator, I won't hold you back when I start a war, I can still help you!"

Ye Feixue's cultivation is good, but her experience is too poor, and she really doesn't have the extra energy to take care of her in front of the two armies. Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and groaned for a moment, and said, "The ugly words are in front, when you get to Xibu Mountain, everything has to listen to me!"

"No problem!" Hearing Shangguan Xiu's agreement, Ye Feixue smiled happily and nodded again and again.

Shangguan Xiu said: "You go and pack up enough clothes for ten days to change, I'll wait for you here, go and come back quickly!"

"Okay!" Ye Feixue agreed, turned around and wanted to go back, as soon as she turned around, Shangguan Xiu immediately swung out a hand knife and slashed at the base of Ye Feixue's neck.

Not to mention that the latter was completely defenseless, no one present expected that Shangguan Xiu would suddenly make a move on Ye Feixue.

She didn't even react, her eyes rolled upward, and she passed out on the spot. Shangguan Xiu caught her fallen body and turned her eyes to look at Sui Tangjing, who understood, and immediately stepped forward and picked up Ye Feixue.

Shangguan Xiu whispered: "Xiao Jing, during my absence, you take care of her on my behalf." ”

"Understood, Brother Xiu!" Sui Tang nodded solemnly.

Don't look at Ye Feixue's age, but her temper is very stubborn, and there are a lot of ghost ideas, Shangguan Xiu doesn't have time to entangle her more now, so he simply knocked her unconscious, and saved her from making trouble again.

He looked at the crowd and said, "Don't send me out of the house, my absence in Zhenxi is not easy for the rebels to find out, and it is not easy for our own brothers to know." ”

"Brother Xiu...... Take care!" Everyone arched their hands and saluted Shangguan Xiu in unison. Shangguan Xiu also bowed his hand, saluted everyone in return, and said, "Zhenxi, please brothers!"

Shangguan Xiu changed into civilian clothes, and went out of the city overnight with Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Wei Tian and others, and went to Xibu Mountain in the territory of Shah outside the Guan.

To be precise, the strength of the Zhenxi Army in Xibu Mountain is more than 2,000, in addition to the regular army of 2,000, there are more than 1,000 Dai Yu troops.

At present, the Feng army in Xibu Mountain does not know about the large-scale attack of the Ningnan army, and it is still peaceful here.

At the foot of the mountain, some of the Wind Army was felling, some of the Wind Army was plowing the fields, and on the slopes and on the top of the mountain, the Wind Army built many of its wooden houses, some of which were lived by the Wind Army themselves, and some of which were sold to the merchants of the Wind Country and Shah.

Walking through the farmland around Xibu Mountain, walking towards the mountain, you can see vendors discussing business everywhere on the mountain road, including wind people and Shah people, bustling and lively.

When Shangguan Xiu and the others arrived, they saw such a lively scene. The Feng and Shah people have not been able to live together peacefully for hundreds of years, and in Sibshan, the Feng and Shah people can not only talk business together, but also drink and eat together, talk and laugh together.

Unfortunately, the pomp and circumstance will soon fade away.

Hearing the news of Shangguan Xiu's arrival in Xibu Mountain, Dai Yu and Xu Rui went down the mountain to greet them. Xu Rui is the leader of the Feng Army in Xibu Mountain. After seeing Shangguan Xiu, the two hurriedly stepped forward, bowed their hands, and said, "Brother Xiu!"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to the two of them, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and Dai Yu are old acquaintances, and they also know Xu Rui, so there is no need for Shangguan Xiu to introduce him, he pointed to Wei Tian beside him and said, "This is Wei Tian of Tongtianmen." ”

Dai Yu and Xu Rui flashed a look of surprise on their faces, and then bowed their hands to Wei Tian and said, "Lord Wei!"

Wei Tian smiled and said, "Don't dare to be, I'm just a person in the rivers and lakes, and I don't dare to call myself an adult." ”

Dai Yu and Xu Rui smiled tacitly, didn't say anything, and walked towards the mountain with Shangguan Xiu and his party. On the way, Xu Rui asked curiously: "Brother Xiu must have something important to do when he came to Xibu Mountain this time, right?"

He heard that Shi Kaiwen personally led 200,000 rebels to attack Zhenxi, but at this time, Brother Xiu did not sit in Zhenxi, but came to Xibu Mountain, which must be an extremely important matter. Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "Let's go to the mountain and talk about it." ”

Going up to the top of Xibu Mountain, Dai Yu and Xu Rui let Shangguan Xiu and the others into a wooden house, which was much larger than the others.

After taking a seat, Dai Yu asked people to bring tea. Shangguan Xiu first took two sips of tea, looked around, and then said: "At present, the 30,000 Ningnan army is marching towards Xibu Mountain, and it will be there soon, and the Ningnan army is trying to take Xibu Mountain in one fell swoop!"

"Huh?" Dai Yu and Xu Rui gasped, and the two of them were surprised: "Thirty thousand Ningnan Army?"

"Yes!"

"That'...... Brother Xiu came to Xibu Mountain this time to ask us to withdraw to Guannei?"

"Nope. Shangguan Xiu shook his head slowly and said, "It's not to withdraw to the Guannei, but to fight to the death with the Ningnan army in Xibu Mountain!"

Dai Yu and Xu Rui involuntarily glanced at each other, there are only about 3,000 people on their side, but the southern army of Kening has 30,000 people, and the strength is ten times that of their own, how to fight this battle? Xu Rui frowned and said: "Brother Xiu, we fight 30,000 with 3,000, but we are afraid of ......."

"I'm afraid it's hard to win, right?" Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "This battle, we must fight!" As he spoke, he told Dai Yu and Xu Rui the ins and outs of the whole matter and the stakes involved, and finally, he said: "Two days! We only need to hold the Ningnan army on the top of Xibu Mountain for two days, and the Ningnan army will retreat." ”

Dai Yu and Xu Rui fell into deep thought, two days is not a long time, it is not a short time, and it is not easy to persevere.

Xu Rui pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Xiu, I know, please Brother Xiu return to Guannei, my brother and I will stay in Xibu Mountain, and I will definitely take my brothers to do our best to fight to the death with the Ningnan army!" Dai Yu also nodded again and again, and said: "Brother Xiu, leave the matter here in Xibu Mountain to me and Xiao Rui!"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head, squinted his eyes and said: "I came to Xibu Mountain this time, I didn't plan to go back, I will stay, fight side by side with everyone, and resist the Ningnan army together." ”

"Brother Xiu!" Dai Yu and Xu Rui were shocked and said, "This ...... It's too dangerous. ”

"It was because it was so dangerous that I had to stay and fight alongside my brothers. Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "Since I want to put my brothers in such a dangerous situation, my brothers and I will either live or die together, and there is no other choice!"
