After Han Feng got the Tianma, when the news that he had not returned to Fengguan Mangcheng as agreed reached Manghou's hands, he did not show the slightest look of surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhan Zhongqi is gone, Han Feng is gone, Lijiao is gone, all the people who make him upset are not by his side, and Fengguan Mangcheng suddenly became his world again. He may not have been so comfortable in a long time, so much so that when his subordinates told him that the woman and the child in the palace had sneaked away, he just waved his hand and didn't care.

A weak woman who has no kung fu, a child who can only steal chickens and dogs, in this troubled world, I am afraid that she will not even live for a month. Even if Han Feng came back to settle accounts with him in the future, he could only say that he didn't take good care of him - but that person had his own subordinates to take the blame, what did it matter to him.

The Hanxing Pass has been broken, and it is time for him to focus on something more important - how to take Futao City in one go.

Luo Huaixin led the vanguard army, all the way through the pass, good news is frequent, and now he has set up camp thirty miles northwest of Futao City. After the defeat of Futao City last year, the vitality has not recovered, and now there are only less than 30,000 defenders in the city, and most of them are militias temporarily recruited, and the city is only in the near future.

Originally, if Xiangcheng was there, Qian Gong might still be able to send troops to reinforce Futao City, but the Yi rebellion broke out, and the Yi soldiers and horses from the southwest involved Liang Gong's only mobile force outside - and the news of Zhifeng's death came back to Futao City, which shattered his last glimmer of hope.

In view of the various actions of Liang Gong before, the king of Yue in the east was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, turning a blind eye to the distress letter from the west, and there were even rumors that the four princesses who had always been favored by the king of Yue were reprimanded by the king of Yue coldly just because they helped Fu Taocheng say a few more good words, and were punished for three months and grounded in the deep palace - this is something that has never happened before.

Today's Futao City is a lonely city, and there is no support.

Among the apricot yellow military flags in the city, there are mostly snow-white flags - that is to summon the soul of Zhifeng. It is not so much that Liang Gong is the lord of a city, but that Zhifeng is the soul of the army. The news of her death was initially only in the southwest, but within two months, everyone had already made it known. The soldiers were mourned, and many people rumored that Futao City was gone, and some even deserted in private. The frustrating news reached Liang Gong's ears one after another, but he was drunk in the house all day long and ignored political affairs.

It is only now that people realize that without Zhifeng, Liang Gong is only afraid that he is not a fart. Zhifeng is not only his backer, but also his backbone.

The gossip was ugly the more it crossed, until one day Liang Gong finally appeared on the city tower.

At this time, Luo Huaixin's army was not far away.

"If you miscalculate one move, you will lose the whole game. Liang Gong's eyes were blood-red, staring at the battle book in front of him, "War! Even if I exhaust the people in this city, I will not let him Manghou swallow my piece of meat so easily." Fight! Fight to the death!"

He gritted his teeth and burst out these words, and only a few attendants around him listened in fear, only wondering if the master was crazy.

"Master Hou, forgive Weichen for being blunt. Recently, there are often people in the army who say that during the battle of Hanxingguan last year, General Luo Er had made disrespectful remarks, saying......" Xu Yun, the Sikou of the Western Dynasty, bowed and whispered.

The vanguard army was in front, and the Marquis of Manghou personally led the army to the rear, and the two armies were about 200 miles apart, and now the Marquis of Manghou had also left the Hanxing Pass and officially entered the territory of the Duke of Liang. Fu Taocheng in front of him saw that it was in his hands, no matter how deep and gloomy the person was, he couldn't hold back this joyful mood, he wanted to have a few drinks in his tent, but he didn't expect that the wine had not yet been consumed, Xu Yun sneaked in and poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Manghou remained silent, only said "hmm", and said: "The second son of the Luo family has been spoiled since he was a child, he has a rushing temperament, but he is a cheerful person, Lao Xu, how can you worry about him." What did he say?"

Xu Yun lowered his voice even more and said, "He is openly dissatisfied with Hou Ye's troop transfer, thinking that Hou Ye wanted to fight for merit and killed thousands of soldiers. ”

"Really?" Manghou laughed, "It's really ridiculous, what am I fighting for this achievement!"

Xu Yun coughed lightly, he had been an official under Manghou for at least twelve years, so he naturally knew what Manghou's subtext was talking about, so he said: "According to Weichen, General Luo is upright and arrogant, and he is a fierce general, but he is easy to be used by traitors and easy to go wrong. It is good to let him lead the troops to practice on weekdays, but when it comes to such a big war, it is still safe. General Zheng Yuanchang has been leading troops for nearly eight years, calm and cautious, if he wants to take Futao City, he must be General Zheng. ”

"General Zheng......" Manghou narrowed his eyes slightly. Zheng Yuanchang is the brother of Situ Zheng Wenbo, these two people are both his confidants, Xu Yun said this, naturally he felt his temper. However, changing generals in battle is a taboo after all, not to mention that at this time, you can't just change generals without changing troops...... But if Luo Huaixin is replaced, can his group of subordinates listen to Zheng Yuanchang's orders?

Futao City is not as good as Han Xingguan, even if it has reached such a decline, if Liang Gong fights against the water, it should not be underestimated. Winning this battle is more important than fighting for merit.

Manghou shook his head lightly and said, "Benhou has his own opinions. Xu Sikou, please call Luo Sima over, I have something to tell him. ”

Two days later, several fast horses rushed straight into the vanguard army, led by Sima Luo Bin of the Western Dynasty, and the father of Luo Huaixin, the general of the "Flying Tiger" of the vanguard army.

Luo Huaixin was dressed in a white robe, and knelt in front of the gate early in the morning to welcome his father's arrival. After experiencing the training of war, he is now much more mature than he was more than half a year ago. The grimity in his gaze was fading, replaced by confidence and boldness. When he looked at Futao City in the distance, he was determined to win, but looking at the herald in his father's hand, he still couldn't hide the unique blood and strength of the young man.

"Why? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I go back!" Although the soldiers around him were all from the Western Dynasty, they had been with Luo Huaixin for a long time, and they were more like his family soldiers. Everyone has experienced a lot of things together, in Luo Huai's confidence, these soldiers are his own brothers, and there is no taboo to speak, although the noisy voice is lower than the usual shouting military orders, but it can still make a circle of people around him hear clearly.

"Eh!" Luo Bin was stunned, and immediately extinguished half of Luo Huaixin's anger, "No one said that you did anything wrong, but there will be an order, and Hou Ye arranged it like this, so naturally he has a reason." What did your father teach you, why did you forget it!"
