After the last accident, this time the Wei army was biting the movements in Jiuquan City and did not let go.

There are only a few ways out for Rouran, and it is not difficult to guess that she will use the details to disturb her own camp in order to provide them with an opportunity to take advantage of the situation to go south. Therefore, Yu Wentai had ordered to pay attention to suspicious people a long time ago, and today he was caught right.

Soon after successfully confusing Rouran's army out of the city, the vanguard of the Wei army set out from the camp and headed straight at Rouran's army.

At the same time, along the Changma River, the Wei army, which had begun to gather towards Jiuquan City, encountered the 30,000 troops of Rouran moving south.

The 30,000-strong army of Rouran had always thought that their route and news of their southward march were extremely hidden, and suddenly they felt that the defenders of the Changma River would not know that they had arrived.

However, these Wei troops in Changma River had already received news at the beginning of their departure that there might be a surprise attack by the Rouran cavalry, so they were already prepared.

The 30,000 men were too powerful, so only their vanguard approached the Changma River.

The soldiers and horses of Rouran, who were secretly approaching, saw the Wei army in the distance and was heading east along the Changma River to Jiuquan.

But because he didn't dare to get too close, he couldn't know the specific number of people on the other side for a while.

However, there is one point, because the Wei army is so long on the march, if the cavalry charges at this time, it will definitely disrupt their formation in an instant.

When the time comes, the rampant war horses will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on these Wei troops.

After having a plan in his heart, the approaching Rouran soldiers quickly retreated.

At the same time as the two sides clashed head-on on the battlefield south of Jiuquan City, the Wei army stationed along the Changma River and the sudden other Rouran army also confronted each other head-on.

But as in the frontal battlefield, these Rouran soldiers and horses soon found that the ranks were very long, and the Wei army, which looked very lazy, had organized a counterattack in a matter of moments, and there was a steady stream of Wei troops supporting them.

For a moment, the originally planned raid seemed to have turned into a counter-encirclement.

The two battlefields broke out at the same time, and the land west of the river instantly became a scorching place.

------

At the same time as the war on the northern front began, on the battlefield on the eastern front, Xue Cunxiao, who had just taken Yulou City, received an order from the general Dugu Chong after a short rest in the city.

Dugu Chong ordered Xue Cunxiao to continue to be the pioneer and take Chen Tai directly.

Xue Cunxiao's soldiers came to Chentai City, and it was already seven days after Yulou City was taken.

Yulou City broke quickly and suddenly, so the two families, including Hou Jing, were under great pressure. The city of Yulou is broken, and they will have no gateway to resist in the future.

Therefore, the Xianbei Rouran Department, which bypassed Jibei Pass and went south, and some of the defenders stationed in Cangnan City went south to prepare to rush to the aid of Chentai, and their decisive battle with Dugu Chong was also here, so another team of soldiers and horses stationed in Puzhou also sent troops to respond.

For a time, as many as 50,000 soldiers from the two major families and Hou Jingtun gathered in Chentai, this was their last chance.

When Xue Cunxiao's troops approached the city of Chentai, the soldiers were in full swing, which made the people of the two major families in the city a little timid for a while.

Hou Jing actually disdains to be with the two major families, he has his own ideas, but he needs to rely on the influence of the two families for many things.

After a while, an old man of the Cui clan above the city looked at the domineering and sharp Xue Cunxiao under the city and said tremblingly: "General Hou, the Wei army is strong and strong, and the momentum is strong, can we fight?"

Hou Jing and the old man stood side by side, he actually wanted to scold the old thing, at this time, asking these nonsense would be useless except to disturb the morale of the army.

But Hou Jing held back, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Cui Gong, don't worry. Xue Cunxiao, although there are many of them, there are many defenders in our city, not to mention that we are defending the city, it is not so easy for them to capture it."

It's not that Hou Jing is conceited in this matter, Xue Cunxiao is just a junior to him, and he is not afraid of war.

After listening to Hou Jing's words, the old man of the Cui family, who was a generation higher than Cui Hao, was a little relieved.

On the other side of Hou Jing

It was a middle-aged man from the Gao clan in Qizhou, and the man had been watching Wei Jun and was silent.

Hou Jing occasionally glanced at it, but the two did not communicate.

Compared with the old man of the Cui family, in Hou Jing's eyes, this middle-aged man named Gao Cen is more difficult to deal with.

Hou Jing has always had his own abacus, which is more than enough to deal with one Cui clan, but it is not easy to add another Gao clan, not to mention that there is the shadow of the Langya Wang clan behind them.

Hou Jing has always wanted to get in touch with the Langya Wang family head-on, but the two families have silently pushed back every time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the three people at the head of the city each have 10,000 hearts and eyes, don't look at the fact that they can stand together safely now, maybe one day they will fight each other again.

The news of Gao Huan's rampant on the grassland was transmitted in an almost deliberate way, and it would be false to say that Gao Cen did not regret it at all.

And no one wants to do the business of seeking skin with the tiger, and he Gao Cen is no exception.

The three people above the city had three looks, and the old man of the Cui family had an indelible worry in his eyes, while Hou Jing looked relaxed, and Gao Cen frowned.

The cold wind of spring is gone, but it is still a little cool, but in fact, more coolness comes from the heart.

Under the city, Xue Cunxiao's troops are ready to go, and the rebels at the head of the city are also ready to die. Before noon, the battle under Chentai City began.

------

It has been a few days since Shen Guo and his party left Donghai City, during which Jiang Ning had to leave the team early because of the front-line situation, although she was reluctant, she needed to focus on the overall situation.

Shen Guan has not actually come out of his original mood in the past few days, Shi Yu and Xiang'er have not been rescued after all, even if Uncle Han and Uncle Yun are following, there is still danger after all.

After leaving Donghai City, Shen Guo was going to Luoyang for a trip, but before that, he had to send Lin Wanzhao and Dugu Nanqiao back.

Lin Wanzhao and Dugu Nanqiao have also known each other during this time, and the seventh lady of the General's Mansion, who was originally high, will now lower her posture in front of Lin Wanzhao.

Since it was not because of any aura, but because of Nan Qiao's own changes, because of Shen Qian, she really slowly became the appearance of a small family jasper.

Lin Wanzhao would often pull Nan Qiao to tell her about the process of her acquaintance with Shen Jing, and she had heard Shen Jing tell that story. Now that the protagonist is in front of him, how can Lin Wanzhao not be curious.

Sometimes the two of them will also pull Shen Jing together, and they are also helping Shen Jing come out.

The road back from Donghai City became easier, although at first the Cui clan and the Gao clan still sent people to follow, but soon those who followed secretly also withdrew.

I have always been indifferent to the situation of the war on the front line, and the same is true of the current situation.

After leaving Donghai City, some villages and towns encountered were still populated, but more of them were old and weak, women and children, and they had heard and seen along the way, and they also knew that those young men and women were forcibly dragged to the battlefield by the two major families.

A few days ago, when the three of them passed by a small village, they stayed at a mountain inn.

The inn is not really a house, but there are a few simple houses.

The shopkeeper is an elderly woman, and she is the only one who is busy before and after, and there is only a child who is not too old.

Because it was too late to arrive that day, the three of them were not picky, so they stayed.

Although the mountain village community is simple, because of the old mother, the three of them were quite warm that night.

Because of the war, the business of the small inn is also very poor, usually several days or even ten and a half days and a half before the guests come to the door, the old mother and Shen Kuang said that there are twelve days before the wave of guests.

Speaking of which, the old lady didn't seem to feel uncomfortable in her heart.

She only said that now there are few people in the family, and she can't afford to paint on weekdays.

Although the small inn is simple, it is clean and plain, and the simple display and clothing make people very warm.

It is said that this store is both an inn and a restaurant, but there is no specific recipe.

The old lady had some self-brewed drinks at home, and Shen asked for some during the meal.

The old lady reminded that the home-cooked wine was not strong enough, and Shen Guo smiled and said that it was just right to have a drink.

This time, Lin Wanzhao and Dugu Nanqiao did not stop Shen Guo from drinking, because Shen Guan had not drunk for several days.

The dishes eaten by the three of them are all made by the old lady herself, not a signature dish, but the advantage is that everything is a good thing in season, such as the bamboo shoots and mountain delicacies.

The old grandmother's craftsmanship is also a must, anyway, Shen Guan has not eaten so happily for a long time.

The old grandmother's little grandson has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he is not afraid of people.

When Shen Guo and the three of them were eating, he leaned on his grandmother's arms to swallow saliva, and Lin Wanzhao and Dugu Nanqiao also noticed it, so even if the old grandmother excused himself, the two still pulled their little grandson to sit down and eat together.

These seasonal goodies are generally reluctant to eat when they are found, because they can be sold at a good price.

That is, Shen Guo and the three of them caught up, because this thing can't be put down, and in two days, the old grandmother will make it for the little grandson to eat.

The old lady actually didn't want to disturb the guests to eat at home, so after the kid sat down, she was still persuading Lin Wanzhao and Dugu Nanqiao, "These good things, the two girls don't want to spoil them."

Lin Wanzhao heard this: "You made a big table, we can't finish it, Mama, you might as well take a bite too."

Although the old lady didn't eat at night, she still insisted that she ate it herself, and then she didn't want to eat with her.

Probably in the eyes of the little grandson, I don't understand why the grandmother is obsessed, but the old man himself understands. She knew that the three people in front of her were not ordinary people, especially the two girls, they must be all beautiful girls, and the disparity in status made the old lady dare not eat with the distinguished guests.

Lin Wanzhao and Dugu Nan Qiao Ai talked to the old grandmother one by one, while Shen Jing and the little grandson were silent, and spent more time eating.

This is a rare time, even when it is quiet.

This night, Shen Jing drank a lot of wine by himself, and in the end, Lin Wanzhao and Dugu Nanqiao also accompanied Shen Jing to have a drink.

Shen didn't like his established expectations to be disrupted, but that's what he was experiencing now.

The old lady could see that Shen Jing was depressed, so she said with a smile, "Guests love to drink lightly."
