The winter nights came a little early, and as soon as I had eaten, the lights were lit. Ouyang Hengtong surrounded the charcoal stove, and Yu Ying accompanied him. Suddenly, I heard that someone had passed the word that an urgent express was coming, Ouyang Hengtong thought it was an express from Qingfeng Mountain, but when he opened it up, he was so surprised that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Yu Ying asked, "What is so important?"

"The Tenga Empire has surrounded the larger cities of Kuroki and Jinzhong, and more than a dozen cities have already been surrendered, and the soldiers have come to a place only two hundred miles away from Kyoto. Ouyang replied.

Yu Ying was a little panicked, "Oh my God, how is it good?"

Ouyang Hengtong sighed: "What's this, alas, it seems that the people of Qingfeng Mountain have to be transferred back, but it's a pity, it's a failure, my immortal book, is it really not related to me!"

So he arranged for the heralds to rush to Qingfeng Mountain overnight, and ordered Ma Long to bring the army back as soon as possible.

Hu Shan, the head of the palace, broke in directly, walked in a hurry, and was a little panting: "The queen mother is invited, please go with me." ”

After getting up, the two rushed to the palace in a sedan chair.

After entering the palace, Hu Shan has been leading the way, and Ouyang Hengtong felt a little stuffy in his heart: "Manager Hu, what is the urgency of the Queen Mother's summons at night?" In fact, Ouyang Hengtong already knew the reason, and deliberately asked, purely without words.

Hu Shan shook his fat body and made a straight face: "It's hard to guess what you want, we don't know." ”

Ouyang Hengtong was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face: "The chief manager is the person who is most relied on by the Queen Mother in the palace, how can he not know." In fact, I hate it for pretending in my heart.

Hu Shan did not answer.

"Well, here it is, marshal, please come in. Hu Shan stretched out his hand and opened the door to let him in.

The Queen Mother's face was full of anger and she flared up when she saw Ouyang Tong: "You, what kind of mind have you become, you really want to destroy the country, the enemy soldiers have arrived in Kyoto City, what about the troops you transferred?"

Although Ouyang is an elder brother, he also defended himself: "The snow is slippery, and the army is slow."

"What are you doing, do you think I don't know, I want to kill Wen Angong's youngest son with all my heart, and now I'm burning my eyebrows, do something that is not doing my job, and I will limit you to send troops tomorrow, otherwise" The Queen Mother paused and accentuated her tone: "I think you can be replaced as a marshal." ”

Ouyang Hengtong panicked: "I promise to go to the city tomorrow, and I will send troops tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow! You don't know how far the enemy soldiers are from here, only two or three hundred miles away, and there is no danger to defend Kyoto, what good plan do you have?"

Ouyang Hengtong calmed down: "Don't worry, I have my own good strategy to defeat the enemy soldiers, please rest assured." ”

"That's the joint soldiers and horses of Tian'e, Baisha, Ganyu and other countries, there are more than 500,000, are you sure?" the Queen Mother asked repeatedly.

Ouyang Hengtong was also bottomless in his heart, although it was winter, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he snorted: "I swear to die to defeat the enemy soldiers."

"Tomorrow the troops will be sent as soon as the soldiers and horses arrive, this is the time for the survival of the country, don't hesitate any longer, it's time for you to contribute as marshal Okay, go back and rest." The Queen Mother didn't want to say more to him, and her expression was cold.

Ouyang Heng announced his resignation from the palace.

As soon as Ouyang left, Hu Shan, who was outside the door, came in: "Queen Mother, it's not early, you can rest." ”

"Eventful, where can I sleep!" The Queen Mother was worried: "Do you think Ouyang Hengtong can repel the enemy soldiers?"

"I think it's a little difficult, this multinational coalition has more troops than our army, but the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, maybe the marshal can win more with less" Hu Shan said with relief.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "If there is a Wen Prime Minister, it will definitely work, I am also dizzy, I will actually listen to Ouyang Hengtong's words, now that my country in Daxia is in trouble, I only thought of Liangcai, it's a pity, hey!"

Hu Shan sighed with emotion: "Yes, you shouldn't have listened to the marshal's words at the beginning, you shouldn't have heard of the prime minister, who can withdraw from the army except him!"

The Queen Mother asked, "What is your best plan?"

"I see that the enemy soldiers are not far from here, the natural danger can be defended, anyway, the marshal may not be able to win, it is better to focus on holding on to Kyoto, tomorrow will be part of the soldiers who will go out to strengthen the defense of Kyoto, now there are only more than 100,000 people defending Kyoto, a little less, stick to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from all over the country, and then fight a decisive battle with the enemy soldiers, and it is not impossible to repel the enemy soldiers. Hu Shan analyzed reasonably.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded and agreed: "Manager Hu is really the pillar of the country, and he has analyzed it very well. ”

As soon as the day dawned, Ziyun Daoist and a group of people got up early, it was indeed too cold, even if they were people who practiced martial arts, they were also so cold that their hands and feet were not good.

The wind is still howling and the snow is still flying.

Ziyun Dao Chang looked at the Qingfeng Mountain, and felt uneasy in his heart, this is the hard work of the big apprentice, once he kills it, there may be no return, without these thousands of strong people, the Chang Huang Gang will be in danger, but if you don't rescue Nangong Qi, then Nangong Qi and his gang will die, there is a group of loyal subordinates of the prime minister, if it wasn't for Nangong Qi's rescue, he would have died in the chaos.

Jin Jianming stepped forward and urged, "Master, the people have been assembled, just waiting for your order." Daoist Ziyun hesitated: "Wait, let me think about it"

Jin Jianting hurriedly said: "I can't wait any longer, I have to be surprised!" After mentioning a long stick, he couldn't bear it for a long time, and the Purple Cloud Daoist looked at the two brothers: "I think the Chang Huang Gang can't do without a gang leader, Jin Jianming go back!"

Jin Jianming was willing: "How can I abandon my master and brothers." "The Purple Cloud Dao Leader couldn't convince Jin Jianming for a while.

Suddenly, at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, groups of soldiers packed their tents and prepared to pull out the camp and retreat. It made people noisy and chaotic, and groups of soldiers were like long queues, leaving in an endless stream.

When the people on Qingfeng Mountain saw it, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed and thunderous.

Seeing this scene, the Purple Cloud Dao Elder stopped the team and waited for the changes.

All the people of Qingfeng Mountain were elated, which was better than the joy of the festival, and adults and children rushed to tell each other. However, in an hour, the large army left, but there were still 20,000 or 30,000 people who continued to surround it, and there was no retreat, and the people of Qingfeng Mountain fell into sorrow again. There are only three stockades left near Qingfeng Mountain, the others are broken or falling, and there are still two stockades that have not yet burned out, and the smoke is filled.

Zhao Sheng and more than a dozen other leaders surrounded Zhao Heizi, frowning, Zhao Sheng complained: "This damn officer and soldier, if you don't withdraw completely, you want to trap us to death, it's better to take advantage of Nangong Qi's unpreparedness to take him"

Patriarch Zhao interrupted him: "Don't mention your idea again, you don't think about it too much, and invite General Nangong Qi to discuss it" A Zhao clan guard outside the door responded.

Soon, Nangong Qi brought Hu Jiaguo, Lu Jiuyi and other two people to come in a hurry.

Patriarch Zhao spoke: "How do you think General Nangong will deal with today's matter? ”

Nangong Qi was a little anxious, and gasped: "There are still twenty or thirty thousand people left, if the three villagers come out, they will still be able to defeat the enemy soldiers, and the three villagers have twenty or thirty thousand people, and the difference in numbers is not very large."

Zhao Sheng reminded: "There are a lot of old, weak, women and children, how can you fight against elite soldiers and strong generals"

Several of the leaders of the guards said in unison, "It's better to hold on, and the chances of going out to win are small." ”

Hu Jiaguo's eyes widened and said: "Sticking to the food is getting less and less, and when you are hungry and weak, it will be too late, so afraid of death."

For a while, everyone was gossiping and controversial.

The Purple Cloud Daoist and his party were happy for only a short while, and after the large army withdrew, there were still twenty or thirty thousand people left to surround them. Ziyun Dao sighed and said, "Hey, it would be great if someone could go in and deliver a letter, and the inside and outside should be combined." ”

Jin Jianming patted his head: "You see I am, we have such a person here." Then he shouted, "Flying monkeys, come on." ”

A person flashed out behind him, with a thin figure, bowed down and said, "Helper, don't you want me to go up the mountain to bring the letter?"

"You're smart! You guessed it. Jin Jianming said.

The Purple Cloud Daoist was overjoyed, and his sorrow vanished: "Wait a minute, I'll write a letter for you to take up the mountain." ”

The Purple Cloud Daoist wrote a few short sentences, and handed them to the Flying Monkey.

I saw the flying monkey shake off a white coat, draped it on his body, put on a white hat, and the whole person dissolved into one with the snow, and the flying monkey arched his hand and went unhurriedly. I saw him shuttling through the forest, like a little white monkey, bypassing the encircled enemy army, not long to the high wall, look around no one to pay attention, like an ape climbing up, over the wall before being discovered, the people guarding the wall immediately surrounded, holding knives and guns, the flying monkey said repeatedly: "I'm here to find Nangong Qi, take me quickly"

Nangong Qi and the others were arguing, and they didn't have a clue, and Zhao Sheng and the others were also discouraged and hung their heads and sighed. Suddenly, a person came in: "General Nangong, someone is looking for you, do you know it?"

"Somewhere is the person?"

"Climbed the wall from the outside to get in. When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, and watched curiously, and the soldiers escorted one person in, it was the flying monkey, and the flying monkey did not panic, and handed the letter to him.

Nangong Qi unfolded it and looked at it halfway, waved the letter, and couldn't hide his smug look: "Everyone, there are rescuers, the Purple Cloud Daoist has brought someone to save us."

After hearing this, everyone laughed and cheered.

Nangong Qi calmed down and read the letter: "Everyone, listen to me, Daoist Ziyun said, he should meet with us inside and outside outside, and we will discuss when the time is appropriate to start and reply to the letter." ”

Patriarch Zhao stopped the crowd's noise, "Everyone see when is the best, I think the day after tomorrow is the most suitable." Because we still have to prepare, it is not good to prepare for the short term, and I am afraid that Ouyang Hengtong will transfer other soldiers to settle the adults and children, and we will do it the day after tomorrow. "The crowd was unanimous. replied to the letter immediately, and finally the patriarch Zhao also wrote a trust flying monkey to send to the other two villages, Wu and Bai, and set a time. The flying monkey took the letter and flew away.
