Half an hour later, in the courtyard of the Zhang family, Zhang Yang leaned on the railing of the pavilion and threw the fish food in his hand into the lake little by little.

And Zhang Zhiyuan stood beside him, watching Zhang Yang feed the fish.

At this time, there was a fluttering sound of wings in the sky, and an aurora finch happened to land in front of Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang chuckled twice, carefully grabbed the aurora sparrow, and muttered to himself, "The show is going to start!"

From the feet of the aurora sparrow, Zhang Yang carefully took off a small note, opened it and looked at it, and then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the artificial lake.

"If you go down, Tuoba Hong must die, and the Qilin Army must be in the hands of the Zhang family. ”

At the same time, in the Mu family's meeting hall, Mu Qing and Mu Yun stood in the center of the hall with their hands down, their expressions extremely respectful.

"It seems that Tuoba Hong is really going to die, and I have one less friend, cooperate with the actions of the Zhang family and the Zuo family, and wait for the opportunity to make sure that the Qilin Army is completely disbanded. ”

Behind a screen in the Mu family's meeting hall, a voice came from again.

Mu Qing and Mu Yun seemed to have become accustomed to it, and after bowing their heads and receiving orders, they retreated.

In the city lord's mansion in Liangzhou City, Qi Siyuan dropped the last black chess, a big dragon, and was completely revitalized by him.

"Dad, isn't it a bit risky for us to do this? will the Zuo family join forces with the Mu family to deal with us in turn once the Qin Lin Army has mastered it?"

Qi Xin, who was standing next to the chessboard, glanced at the chessboard, then at his father Qi Siyuan, and carefully said the doubts in his heart.

"No, don't forget that there is also the Zhang family, the Zhang family will not sit idly by and watch the Zuo family grow. ”

Qi Siyuan put away the chess pieces with a face and said indifferently.

"So what are we going to do now?" Qi Xin always felt a little uneasy if he didn't do something.

"What are you doing?" Qi Siyuan laughed twice, and his eyes fell on the big tree outside the window.

The summer weather can change as you say, and the blue sky, which was clear just a moment ago, is now cloudy, and the wind hangs the branches everywhere.

"The trees want to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. ”

After Qi Siyuan said this, he turned his head and looked at Qi Xin with deep meaning.

"What you have to do now is to wait for the battle between the three families to finish, let's become the real master of Liangzhou City, and the other people who sent you must get that token in their hands. ”

"Yes! ”

Qi Xin bowed his head to accept the order, and after straightening up, he had a smug smile on his face.

――――――

At noon the next day, after nearly a day of flying, Meng Xie finally vaguely recognized the outline of Qingyang Town on the plum blossom vulture.

Patting the neck of the Plum Vulture with his hand, Meng Xie pointed to the location of the Qilin Army camp in Qingyang Town.

The Plum Vulture chirped to show that it understood, circled in the air, and finally landed firmly in the barracks.

Meng Xie jumped off the plum vulture and was surrounded by many soldiers to ask about the reinforcements.

It seems that the news of him going to move the rescue soldiers has spread throughout the entire military camp, and Meng Xie understood after thinking about it that at this juncture, in order to improve morale, this is also a last resort.

"You bunnies, what are you arguing about, don't let Brother Meng go to see General Tuoba first. ”

At this time, a rough voice came from outside the crowd, and Meng Xie didn't need to look at it to know that it was the logistics officer Zhang De who spoke.

Sure enough, Zhang De forcibly separated the crowd, grabbed Meng Xie by the collar, and brought him out, and then dispersed the crowd loudly.

Under the leadership of Zhang De, Meng Xie smoothly came to the gate of the Chinese army's tent and stepped into it.

In the big tent, the general Tuoba Hong and the adjutant Zhao Ming were both there, both of them had dark circles under their eyes and looked extremely haggard.

Finding that it was Meng Xie who walked into the company, the two of them quickly stood up with surprise and let Meng Xie sit aside.

Meng Xie told Tuoba Hong the good news of the garrison's troops, which made the general immediately excited.

Seeing this, Adjutant Zhao Ming also hurriedly stepped out of the big tent and passed on the good news.

After a while, the cheers from outside the big tent made Meng Xie and General Tuoba Hong smile, and then the gloomy cloud immediately shrouded Tuoba Hong's face.

"General, is there something going on?"

Meng Xie intuitively felt that things might have changed again, and hurriedly blurted out a question.

Sure enough, Tuoba Hong sighed, and said in a low voice: "The two teams of men and horses I sent out to delay the enemy army have been killed on the battlefield, and no one has survived, and according to the news of Tanma, the 20,000 elite horsemen of the Qi army have set up camp ten miles away from us, and they are afraid that they will come to the city tomorrow." ”

"How so!"

Meng Xie didn't expect that in just a few days, things had changed so much, and he looked sideways at the long table where a new spirit card was placed in the big tent, and there were two more spirit cards on it.

Sun Li, Qian Jun!

"Don't be sad, generals, it's better to think about countermeasures as soon as possible, so as to avenge a few commanders!"

Zhao Ming comforted Tuoba Hong softly on the side, and reminded at the same time.

Tuoba Hong nodded and ordered: "Go to the rest of the commanders, as well as the deputy generals, and call them, let's discuss the countermeasures." ”

Zhao Ming nodded, turned around and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and called someone to go.

Meng Xie was about to say goodbye when he heard this, but was stopped by Tuoba Hong.

"Brother Meng, don't go, with your position, the military post officer can also attend. ”

Hearing Tuoba Hong say this, Meng Xie also stayed.

A quarter of an hour later, the lieutenant generals and commanders of the Chinese army's big tent all arrived, divided into two rows, and sat down in the order of the size of the military position.

As a military post officer, Meng Xie was naturally the smallest in rank, and was arranged closest to the tent door.

Tuoba Hong is behind the bookcase in the center of the big tent, on the left is a short-haired scar-faced lieutenant, and on the right is a young commander about twenty-one or two years old, and next to him stands the adjutant Zhao Ming.

When these people came in just now, Tuoba Hong introduced Meng Xie one by one, and told everyone his identity.

Meng Xie remembered that the scar-faced deputy general on the left was called Zhang Zihang, thirty years old, a seven-rank martial artist, according to Tuoba Hong, the third son of Chu was thinking about it, brave and good at fighting, and the one on the right was a distant nephew of the scar-faced deputy general, named Zhang Yan, a new commander, twenty-one years old, a second-grade martial artist, young and promising, and had a good reputation in the army.

At this time, Tuoba Hong glanced around at the soldiers below, looked solemn, and said: "The Qi army is only ten miles away from me, and this time 20,000 Zeniu heavy horses came, and it was Qi Tian, the prince of Qi State, who led the troops, I don't know if you have any countermeasures." ”

At this point, everyone below immediately discussed, and many people's faces were solemn and gloomy.

From the dialogue of everyone, Meng Xie learned that Ze Niu Heavy Cavalry, one of the main military branches of Qi State, has high defense, fast speed, strong impact, and every three people form a row, once surprised the Southern Regions, no one can beat it, until the appearance of the Ten Thousand Demon Army of Qin State, it is gradually discredited.
