Shuzhou Jincheng is the capital of Shuzhou and the base camp of the Tang family in Shuzhong. The Tang family in Shuzhong, ranked ninth in the clan commentary written by Zhang Zai, has been in Shuzhou for many years, deep-rooted, and is also the largest family and actual controller in Shuzhou.

There is a Tang Mansion in Jincheng, which is more magnificent than the Yamen of the Governor of Shuzhou, it is rebuilt from the palace of the King of Shu in the previous dynasty, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, which contains Qiankun, pavilions and pavilions, leading water into the house, strange flowers and plants, everything. It is also located in Jincheng, which is a good place to recuperate, and the bitter cold of the central capital, the northern capital, and the Daliang city are not the same.

Today's Tang Mansion broke the previous tranquility, noisy, and all this is due to the war in the north of Shuzhou, Xiao Yu personally led the northwest army from Hanzhong into Shu, knocking on the Sword Pavilion, the letter of the Jianmen Pass guard for help from Xiao Yu knocked on the pass, it has not been broken for a day, making Jincheng three times a day. If it was just that, then Xiao Yu's general Wei Ban actually led the army to sneak across the Yinping Ancient Road, bypassing the Jianmen Pass and inserting it directly into the Jiangyou Pass, and the Jiangyou Pass guards abandoned the city and fled, and Wei Ban took the Jiangyou Pass without much effort. Then Wei Ban attacked Fucheng with the power of victory, Fucheng defender Tang Yong died, and the deputy general Zheng Jing surrendered. It is an indisputable fact that Jianmen Pass has become a lonely city, and what makes Jincheng's hearts fluctuate is that after Wei Ban collected the remnants of the army, he did not stick to Fucheng and Jiangyou Pass, but led 3,000 men and horses to attack Mianzhu, and at the same time, the Minxing army has also begun to attack Langzhong, which is bound to defeat Langzhong and form an encirclement with Xiao Yu and Wei Ban.

At this time, the situation is critical, it can be called an urgent need, except for Tang Lian, who is guarding Lang, he can't rush back, and the rest of the Tang family's real power figures have already returned to the Tang family in Jincheng. The Tang family is not unaware of the fluctuation of the hearts of the major families in Shuzhou and even the private connection, just because although these families are not as good as the Tang family, after they are united, there are Jiangnan families to help, so that the Tang family does not dare to act rashly. And this time, the Tang family finally tasted the taste of the family's tail.

At this time, in the main hall of the Tang family, a tall middle-aged man had red eyes, and said hatefully: "Zheng family, what a Zheng family, dare to kill my son, if I catch the little mongrel of the Zheng family, I will definitely cramp and peel him." ”

Sitting opposite the middle-aged man was a middle-aged man with a gloomy appearance, and said in a strange manner: "Isn't such a good daughter-in-law exactly the eldest brother you personally selected?

The middle-aged man who spoke earlier turned pale with anger and slapped the table hard.

The rustling sound sounded, like spring eating mulberry leaves, and the whole table made of old rosewood turned into a little fly ash, which dispersed with the wind, leaving no trace.

The yin owl man was not afraid at all, and sneered: "This table is not cheap, no matter how big our Tang family is, we can't withstand the big brother's toss, if you have the ability, go and shoot Wei Ban to death, what kind of prestige are you playing in your own house." ”

The next head of the Tang family narrowed his eyes, looked at his younger brother, and said in a cold voice: "If I remember correctly, the two daughters of the second brother were brought back to the northwest by Xiao Yu.

The middle-aged man's face turned dark, and he said in a cold voice: "Why don't you say this to the White Lotus Sect Master, the Holy Moon and Banyan Tree are my daughters, but they are also the Holy Maidens and White Lotus Envoys of the White Lotus Sect, and if the eldest brother wants to make a fuss about them, it depends on whether the White Lotus Sect Master is willing or not." ”

"That's enough!" Tang Lie, the current head of the Tang family, who had been sitting on the main seat without speaking, patted the armrest, with an angry face, "What time is it now? You are still fighting here? This time Xiao Yu is menacing, don't hope that Xiao Yu will withdraw on his own, for Xiao Yu, the northwest is bitterly cold, and the luck has been cut off, and he can't afford to support his 400,000 army at all, and our Shuzhou has been known as the country of abundance since ancient times, such a big piece of tempting fat is placed in front of him, how can Xiao Yu, who is already hungry and faint, give up?" You don't know that the catastrophe is coming until the butcher's knife of the Northwest Army cuts off your head!?"

The two who had been sneering at each other before each snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Tang Lie, as the head of the Tang family, also had some achievements in the early years, ranking tenth in the evaluation of the head of the family, but over the years, he has gradually retreated into the background, and distributed the authority in his hands to the younger generations.

Tang Lie has three sons, the eldest son Tang Xiong, Tang Yong's father, and has a short temperament. The second son, Tang Qi, the father of Tang Shengyue and Tang Banyan Tree sisters, has a gloomy temperament. Tang Lian three times, now guarding Langzhong, did not rush back to Tang's house. The three sons are almost the same in terms of ability and means, they are all born to the same mother, and the palms and backs of their hands are all meat, Tang Lie is really difficult to choose, and finally decided to look at the third generation and then set the position of the head of the family.

Originally, Tang Qi gave birth to two daughters, and there was no hope for the head of the family, but these two daughters entered the White Lotus Sect, and the eldest daughter became a disciple of the head of the White Lotus Sect, Tang Qi's status also rose with the rise of his daughter, but later the incident in Jiangdu, Tang Shengyue and Tang Banyan Tree were plundered by Xiao Yu, and Tang Qi's status in the Tang family was also greatly hit.

As the old lady spoke, there was silence in the hall.

Tang Lie was silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly: "Although the current situation is critical, but my Tang family still has a glimmer of life, as long as we can hold the three points of Jincheng, Sword Pavilion, and Langzhong, so that Xiao Yu's army cannot form a joint encirclement." Then drag until Luo Zongxian's reinforcements arrive, then Xiao Yu's northwest army will be trapped in Shuzhou and can't extricate itself, at that time, as long as we use a good procrastination trick and drag it until Xiao Yu runs out of food, we may not be able to turn defeat into victory. ”

Tang Lie still wanted to defend the Jianmen Pass, but the people in the Jianmen Pass were already panicked, the back road was cut off, and there was Xiao Yu's army attacking the city in front of him, no matter how you look at it, it was a mortal situation. Because the major families in Shuzhou weighed and compromised with each other, this Jianmen guard was not a member of the Tang family, and he had no idea of being martyred for the Tang family at this time, not to mention that there was a head of the Bai family in Guanzhong at this time, and he didn't need to call the shots in this matter.

In the Jianmen Pass garrison mansion, Bai Shou sat behind the bookcase of the garrison lord, frowning slightly, but the owner of this study was sitting on the guest seat on the side, with a restless face.

After a long time, Bai Shou sighed and said: "The old man wanted to send charcoal in the snow, but he didn't expect the situation to take such a sharp turn. ”

Bai Shou leaned back on the wide back of the chair and said to himself, "A good Wei Ban, a good Xiao Yu." Tang Lie Lao'er must have wanted to defend the Sword Pavilion and Langzhong at this time, but he didn't know that the Sword Gate Pass could no longer be guarded, and it was only a matter of time before Langzhong broke the city, he overestimated himself too much, and underestimated Xiao Yu too much. When these two places are broken, the Tang family will become trapped in Jincheng, and the Duanmu family has quietly returned to Jincheng, if the Tang family is interested, abandon the city earlier, and still be able to protect the family, if they are unwilling to let go of anything, the lesson of the Zhao family is in front of them. ”

The sword gate guards on the side will be covered in cold sweat.

Bai Shou suddenly laughed at himself, "I, Bai Shou, prides myself on being a smart person, and I want to be kind to Xiao Yu, but I don't want to be self-defeating, I'm afraid that I will lose all the inheritance of my ancestors." ”

Bai Shou showed a thick tired look on his face, waved his hand and said, "Go, open the city gate, and welcome the army of the Northwest King into the city." ”

On this day, the sword gate was closed and the city gate was opened.

After Wei Ban stole over Yinping and successfully captured Jiangyou Pass and Fucheng, Xiao Yu thought that it would take a little effort to take Jianmen Pass, but soon Xiao Yu realized that things were unexpectedly smooth, and the original grinding Min Xing suddenly became brave, attacked Langzhong again and again, and contained all the troops in southern Shu in the Langzhong area, and Wei Ban gave Xiao Yu a big surprise, after laying Fucheng, he went straight to Mianzhu, the initial attack on Mianzhu was unfavorable, Wei Ban was defeated and retreated, Mianzhu Shou was greedy and went out of the city to pursue, but was ambushed by Wei Ban, defeated and killed, and then Mianzhu was beaten down by Wei Ban。 Since then, Wei Ban's plan to sneak over Yinping has been a great success, and it has perfectly realized the attack on Jincheng and the sealing of the Sword Pavilion.

In this way, the gate of Jincheng was wide open, and it was reasonable for the Sword Pavilion, which had become a lonely city, to open its doors and surrender.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the Sword Gate and smiled at the woman beside him, "Do you have anything to say?"

The woman was bright and moving, it was Tang Shengyue, the saint of the White Lotus Sect who was specially brought to Shuzhou by Xiao Yu, her face was pale and silent.

Xiao Yu grabbed one of her arms and said with a light smile: "Follow this king into Shu!"
