Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? The three granaries of Yucheng were lit by the wind army one after another, the flames were soaring to the sky, and the smoke was billowing out, fortunately, the wind army evacuated the people near the granary first, otherwise this fire, I don't know how many people would have burned to death,

After igniting the three granaries, the Feng army did not leave Yucheng immediately, and Shangguan Xiu, Cai Heng, and He Wenzheng discussed their own withdrawal route.

At this time, the secret flag spies of Shura Hall rushed to Yucheng and sent news that the local troops from all over Leping County were gathering on the side of Yucheng, and if they wanted to evacuate Leping County smoothly, they had to avoid the local troops who rushed over.

The secret flag spy who reported the news was named Zhang Xiao, in his early thirties, with dark skin, his appearance was not good, he was dressed plainly, he looked honest and ordinary, like a farmer.

But his identity in the dark flag is not simple, he is one of the capable generals under Zhao Chen, and he is responsible for the investigation of Ningnan intelligence.

Although Zhang Xiao is one of the top ten big names in the dark banner, Shangguan Xiu really hasn't seen him before, but I've heard Zhao Chen mention this person many times, and this time, he can be regarded as seeing him personally.

Shangguan Xiu didn't know Zhang Xiao, Zhang Xiao could know Shangguan Xiu, after meeting, Zhang Xiao stepped forward quickly, intervened in the salute, and said: "Subordinate Zhang Xiao, see Gongzi,"

Zhang Xiao is too astute, he doesn't need to be reminded by Shangguan Xiu, just looking at what he is wearing, he judged that Shangguan Xiu didn't want to publicize his true identity, and automatically and consciously commensurate Shangguan Xiu with a son.

Shangguan Xiu nodded, and secretly said that this person is good, thoughtful, quick to react, and what is even more commendable is that he also has an ordinary appearance that cannot be too ordinary, which is an excellent disguise and cover for intelligence officers.

He said with a smile: "I have heard Zhao Chen mention you many times before, and even the news that the eldest grandson Huaide is critically ill was found out by you,"

"The subordinates don't dare to take credit, all the information obtained by this banner in Ningnan is all hollowed out by the brothers, born and killed, and the subordinates just make a classification and then send it back to the headquarters," Zhang Xiao bowed and said,

There are many things that he doesn't need to fight for at all, and the credit will naturally be credited to his head.

Sure enough, hearing his words, Shangguan Xiu was a little more impressed by him, he said it lightly, just collecting information from his subordinates, and then focusing on reporting it to Shangjing, but the people below him are capable, doesn't it just show that he has a unique vision and knows people accurately,

"You don't have to be humble, I naturally know your merits,"

"Thank you Childe for remembering,"

"Let's talk about the dynamics of the Ningnan Army from all walks of life,"

"Yes, Childe," Zhang Xiao took out a parchment scroll from his arms and unfolded it, inside was a simple map of Leping County he had drawn, he pointed to the map and explained: "At present, the local army that is marching towards Yucheng has, Guangyuan City Local Army, Dazhou City Local Army, Wulong City Local Army, The Jincheng local army and the county army, these five local armies are the most powerful, among which the county army is the most, with a strength of more than 30,000, and the other road city armies, the strength is also more than 10,000, in addition, there are some miscellaneous scattered local armies, and the strength is not too much,"

Zhang Xiao glanced at Shangguan Xiu, and continued: "The local army of Leping County is well-equipped, especially the county army, which is completely consistent with the equipment of the central army in Ningnan, and its combat power should not be underestimated.

When He Wenzheng heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said, "County ...... The combat power of the county army is ...... again No matter how high it is, it ...... It is also a local army of the land, how can it not be ......?"

"How can it be compared with the Central Army," Cai Heng continued,

"Hmm...... Well, yes," He Wenzheng nodded,

Zhang Xiao Zhengse said: "The two generals should not forget that there are five or six hundred thousand central troops in Ningnan in Mingshui County, and the arsenal of these central armies is located in the county town, and the equipment used by the Leping County Army now comes from the Central Army,"

"This ...... That's a problem, I ...... We have to avoid ......."

"We have to avoid it,"

"Hmm...... Well, right,"

Shangguan Xiu tapped his forehead lightly and asked, "Where is the county army now?"

Zhang Xiao replied: "In the area of Chengkou Village,"

"Chengkou Village,"

"Here," Zhang Xiao pointed to the location of the map, located in the north of Yucheng, He Wenzheng looked closely, frowned, and said: "Cut the ......."

"The county army is cutting our army's retreat," Cai Hengdao,

"That's right," Zhang Xiao said: "When the two generals led the army to attack the two towns of Dongzhi and Yushan, the county army had already left the county town and came to meet it, but our army did not do more love battles in the north of Leping County, but went straight into Yucheng, the center of Leping County, so that the attacking county army pounced, and now the position of the county army is exactly on the way back of our army,"

"How about killing back," Cai Heng asked,

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "The 30,000 county army, the combat power should not be underestimated, our army is the enemy, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, and once our army is dragged by the county army, the other city armies will take this opportunity to encircle our army, and the consequences are unimaginable,"

"You can't retreat the same way," Shangguan Xiu, who was silent, suddenly spoke,

"Then, what does Childe mean," Cai Heng and He Wenzheng both looked at Shangguan Xiu,

Shangguan Xiu raised his hand, slammed it on the map, and said, "Draw salary from the bottom of the kettle,"

Everyone looked at the place where he pointed with a brush, and saw that Shangguan Xiu was pointing to the county seat of Leping County, Tianmen City, and everyone stared at each other with wide eyes, and their eyes showed surprise.

Shangguan Xiu laughed out loud and said: "The county army of Leping County cut off the return route of our army, and wants to trap our army to death in Leping County, then, our army will plan and give them a big gift of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and go straight to the old nest of the county army, the county city Tianmen, and the ammunition depot of the Ningnan Army is located in Tianmen, once we destroy it, the front-line Ningnan Army, which has lost food and grass first, and then lost ammunition, will inevitably be demoralized and fall into a comprehensive passivity, and, most importantly, now Tianmen is empty,"

After hearing this, people gasped, hung their heads, and pondered,

Although Shangguan Xiu's plan is bold, it is not a bad strategy, if it can really succeed, it will undoubtedly win a great initiative for the wind army on the front line, but they themselves, I am afraid that there is really no chance to retreat.

I don't know how long it took, He Wenzheng suddenly raised his head and said to Shangguan Xiu Zhengse: "Momo...... The end ......"

Cai Heng said: "As long as the sacrifice is valuable, even if it is broken bones and there is no place to bury him, the last general will be willing,"

"Hmm...... Well, yes," He Wenzheng nodded,

Shangguan Xiu looked at the two of them and said, "I will fight side by side with my brothers, live and die together, advance and retreat together, and never give up," As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zhang Xiao and said, "Zhang Xiao," "My subordinates are here,"

"You go to Tianmen City immediately to inquire about the news, I want to know whether there are any enemy troops between Yucheng and Tianmen City, in addition, I also want to know the current number of defenders in Tianmen City, as well as the city defense,"

"Childe, then you ......"

"Don't worry about me, I have my own measure,"

"This ...... Yes, his subordinates obeyed, "Zhang Xiao hugged his fists and saluted, without much delay, immediately left Yucheng and went to Tianmen, before leaving, he deliberately left more than a dozen secret flag spies for Shangguan Xiu to facilitate communication between them,

The fire in the granary of Yucheng burned more and more, from morning to noon, and from noon to dark, but the fire still did not weaken in the slightest, and the fire dyed the night sky above Yucheng into a piece of red.

Two million stones of grain, how can it be burned in a day or two, and the entire Yucheng is filled with a strong scorching smell.

Late that night, Zhang Xiao sent someone to send back the news that the county army was rushing towards Yucheng at full speed, and according to the speed of the county army, I am afraid that before dawn the next day, it will be able to reach Yucheng.

The county army is well-armed, and there are many troops, Shangguan Xiu is unwilling to fight with it, he led a wind army of more than 10,000 people, ready to leave Yucheng, and march in the direction of Tianmen City.

Before they left Yucheng, a spy with a dark flag galloped into Yucheng and asked to see Shangguan Xiu.

At this time, Shangguan Xiu was near the granary in Nancheng, and the two wind soldiers brought the secret flag spy over, and the dark flag spy walked quickly to Shangguan Xiu, intervened to give a salute, and said, "The villain sees the childe,"

Shangguan Xiu glanced back at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

The Dark Flag spy whispered: "Childe, General Cai sent someone to escort Changsun Feifeng to Mingshui County, but halfway through, our army encountered an ambush,"

"What," Cai Heng's body was shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked loudly: "What is the situation now, how is the situation now, how is the eldest grandson Feifeng?"

"The eldest grandson Feifeng has been kidnapped, General Cai's subordinates...... All of them have been killed,"

When Cai Heng heard this, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but he sent two battalions of brothers, a full two thousand people, all of them were killed in battle, he stayed for a long time, Fang Ning asked in a voice: "Who ambushed,"

"The villain doesn't know, according to the brothers who went to the scene to investigate, most of the soldiers of our army died from spiritual martial arts, thinking about it, the people who ambushed are all spiritual cultivators, and it is very likely that they are people in the rivers and lakes of Ningnan,"

"It's them again," for the people in the rivers and lakes in Ningnan, Cai Heng, like other wind army, can be said to hate to the bone, in the main battlefield of Mingshui County, the people of Ningnan have brought a lot of trouble to the wind army, and many soldiers of the wind army died in their hands,

"All 2,000 soldiers were killed, and not a single one was left alive, I'm afraid this is not something that a few or a dozen Jianghu people can do," Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "Also, how did these Jianghu people know that Changsun Feifeng was captured alive by our army, and how did they know the route escorted by our army?"

"This ...... The villain didn't know," the Dark Flag spy also felt that this matter was strange, he pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Childe, there is another strange thing,"

"Oh,"

"The Jianghu people who attacked our army seem to be all water system spirit cultivators, and most of the soldiers died under the water system's spirit martial arts,"

Cai Heng had no clue when he heard this, he grabbed his hair irritably, and asked, "Among the Jianghu sects in Ningnan, there are sects that specialize in cultivating water system spiritual martial arts,"

The Dark Flag spy shook his head, saying that he had never heard of such a sect.

Shangguan Xiu's heart moved when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered a person, a person who not only knocked him into the dust, but also knocked him underground, the Venerable of Xuanling Palace, Pei Ying,

Could it be that Pei Ying has not returned to Xuanling Palace, but has come to Leping County, with Pei Ying's Lingwu, to kill the two thousand wind army, it is indeed not a difficult matter,
