Chapter Twenty-Five: Zhuo Bailing's Thoughts in Troubled Times

Zhuo Bailing in the camp of Xianghu County was dressed in equipment and his face was extremely ugly, he really couldn't understand why he would choose him to open the first knife, did the people in the south feel that they were the best to bully? It's too much, let go of the Lincheng and Lingling that can be attacked and defended, and don't fight, you have to go to Xianghu to find trouble, although Xianghu is the only way for the south to enter the right side of the river, but when the Chong clan controlled the south, there was never friction with Xianghu, and they have been living in peace for nearly a hundred years, is this Xiao Huli crazy?

"Commander, the second master is asking to see you outside the camp gate."

It's always a bad mood to be interrupted, and the person who came is still the younger brother Zhuo Baiqing, who has the most headache in his life, is twenty-three years old, and looks like a human, but this kid is not a martial artist, he is idle all day long, and has made a group of fox friends and dog friends, some time ago in Eagle City, he made a lot of nonsense, talking about the government, if it wasn't for the Zhuo family's children, he would have been arrested and killed, and the head of the family sent someone to send him to Xianghu, which was already benevolent and righteous.

"Big brother, but what did you do in the south? Talk to me. Zhuo Baiqing was dressed in white and sat down directly.

"! Who is allowed to be so casual in the barracks! Zhuo Bailing's face was displeased, and he couldn't get angry when he looked at Zhuo Baiqing's face.

"Big brother, let's talk! I heard that the main general of the southern border this time is Meng Yan who broke through Wuyang City, which should not be underestimated. Zhuo Baiqing didn't care about his brother's attitude, he was used to his brother looking at him unpleasantly, and he still sat steadily.

"How do you know it's Meng Yan?! Who told you that?! "Although the matter of Meng Yan as the main general cannot be talked about secret, it will not be known all over the city.

"Big brother, I have a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, you know, yesterday I knew that it was Meng Yan, and I also knew that Meng Yan's big camp was set up in Gushan." Zhuo Baiqing said with a smile.

"Good! Tell me what you think. A hint of strangeness flashed in Zhuo Bailing's expression.

"Meng Yan is afraid that it will be a dangerous move to set up the camp in Gushan, and the eldest brother should be more careful, but if the eldest brother has the heart to compete with Meng Yan, it is not impossible to play one or two games, isn't Meng Yan also here for so long and has not attacked?" Zhuo Baiqing didn't remind him kindly, he hoped that his eldest brother would send troops to fight with Meng Yan, and look at the Southern Shuangsha who had become famous in the past two years, and he was suspicious of Meng Yan's victory over Wuyang City.

"What? Do you want to compete with Meng Yan by yourself? Zhuo Bailing knows his younger brother too well, his heart is higher than the sky, he claims to be a talent in the world, and he is not convinced by the two young men Meng Yan and Xiao Yu.

"That's right, I just don't believe that he can take down the thousand-year-old Five Rams City, and he also killed the old man Chongsheng by the way, this is too mythical, I don't believe it anyway, I suspect that Xiao Huli deliberately pushed them out." Zhuo Baiqing said hatefully.

"Boy, do you think he was born out of thin air? It was indeed him who took down Wuyang, this can't be fake, do you know that Meng Yan was originally Yang Boyu's closed disciple Zhiwu, and he was the commander of the night guard at a young age, and later in Dongyang City under the pseudonym Xuanwu for his senior brother Zhong Fan to win the position of Dongyang City Lord, and later Yang Boyu betrayed him for Nantou to restore the family's real name. Zhuo Bailing said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Is the eldest brother afraid?" Zhuo Baiqing knew that the eldest brother looked down on him, and when he saw that he had a competitive relationship with Meng Yan, he was even more contemptuous, so he could only transfer the contradiction to the eldest brother.

"You don't have to provoke me, I'm not afraid of him, although he has some ability, but after all, he is a young man, and daring to put the camp in Gushan is a good proof that he is very conceited, what I am worried about is Xiao Yu's sneak attack." Zhuo Bailing said heavily.

"Xiao Yu? Isn't he stationed in Zhanchuan? It's so far away from us, even if it's a sneak attack, you can't get over it for a while, right? Zhuo Baiqing asked.

Zhuo Bailing shook his head and said helplessly: "Meng Yan placed the camp in Gushan with great fanfare, but according to the report from the front, he often went back and forth to the Qinglong Army garrison in the past few days. ”

"This is also normal, the troops sent by the southern border this time are mainly the Xuanwu Army, supplemented by the White Tiger Army, and it is normal for him to go to the White Tiger Army station, right?" Zhuo Baiqing didn't feel anything wrong with Meng Yan's behavior.

"The problem is also here, the commander of the Blue Dragon Army is Wang Zongqing, whether it is in terms of family background, official title or ability, it is not enough for Meng Yan to go to the White Tiger Army many times, and our people found a special camp tent in the White Tiger Army camp, and the guard level is even tighter than Wang Zongqing's big tent."

"Didn't Xiao Huli come in person?" Zhuo Baiqing was suspicious, "That's not right, my friend said that he saw Xiao Huli banqueting guests in Wuyang City two days ago. ”

"I guess Xiao Yu is in the White Tiger Army, otherwise Meng Yan wouldn't have made many trips." Zhuo Bailing directly said what he thought.

"If Xiao Yu also comes, it seems that the southern border is betting a lot this time, and it is determined to win the eldest brother." Zhuo Baiqing looked very excited, he wanted to compete with Meng Yan first, but now Xiao Yu is also here, something that can be encountered but not sought.

"If Xiao Yu is really in the White Tiger Army, then it is not certain who is the main general this time, I have already informed the head of the family about this, wait for the decision of the head of the family." Zhuo Bailing said worriedly.

"Big brother, give me a soldier and I'll go and bump into the White Tiger Army, and try to see if Xiao Yu is really there for you." Zhuo Baiqing said eagerly.

"Nonsense! You go home for me now, whether you are drinking or practicing, I don't care about you, even if you turn Xianghu upside down, I don't care about you, there is only one thing, you can't leave the city! Zhuo Bailing said sternly, he found that this kid had a problem with his mind, and he wanted to lead the army to the battle, isn't this looking for death? This little bastard must be pressed into the city, "Song Yan!" You send the second young master back to me, and I will stare him to death, if he wants to go out of the city, tie him up immediately! Zhuo Bailing felt uneasy and called his cronies and guards to take care of Zhuo Baiqing.

Zhuo Baiqing saw that the eldest brother was angry and immediately put away his cynical attitude, and he complained a little in his heart, but he also understood that the eldest brother was to protect himself, since the death of his parents, the two brothers depended on each other, and the family was born in the three-room concubine room, and he was always unpopular in the clan.

After Zhuo Baiqing honestly walked with Song Yan, he took out the reply letter from the head of the family and read it again, he didn't tell Zhuo Baiqing just now that he was afraid that he was impulsive, the head of the family was very annoyed by his hesitant behavior, and even suspected that he and Zhuo Baiqing had been brainwashed by someone, so that he could solve the enemy from the south within a month, Zhuo Bailing stood in front of the table and hesitated for a long time, after all, he clenched his fists and calmed down, and called: "Zhuo Song, please discuss the big tent of the generals!" ”

There are not many military officers in Xianghu County, most of them are Zhuo's children, and many years of stability have made them have no fear of Meng Yan's attack, and even some contempt, after knowing that Meng Yan Tun Binggu Mountain felt contempt, after a discussion, someone actually proposed to bring three thousand light horses to pick Meng Yan under the horse, and not to say that Meng Yan is not a fool, just say that Meng Yan's martial arts realm should not be underestimated, Zhuo Bailing's heart at the moment is like running through a thousand horses.

"Zhuo Song, you go to the scout camp to find a few powerful characters, you personally take them to explore Gushan and the White Tiger Camp again, and you must find out the situation of the Gushan camp and Xiao Yu tomorrow morning." Zhuo Bailing was very panicked, but for the sake of prudence, he decided to probe again, and used his most reassuring subordinate to personally lead the team.

After the arrangement, Zhuo Bailing looked at the terrain of Gushan, and really couldn't understand why Meng Yan would station troops there in the place of death, which could be seen at a glance, what did he mean, was it really a young man?

After a sleepless night, he finally waited for Zhuo Song's news, only to see Zhuo Song walking in covered in blood, Zhuo Bailing was shocked and asked, "Attacked?!" ”

Zhuo Song nodded lightly, and then said: "Commander, rest assured, I'm fine, this is the blood of the enemy soldiers, and I lost the lives of six brothers, but fortunately, my subordinates are waiting for news from both sides of the fortunate detective." ”

"That's good, the dead brother must be buried thickly, you eat something first, and take your time." Zhuo Bailing pushed the meal he hadn't eaten in front of Zhuo Song.

Zhuo Song was also unceremonious, and after drinking the porridge, he casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said: "Mengyan's main forces are indeed all in Gushan, and our people found that there seems to be someone from the Zhong family, and she is still a young woman, and it doesn't look low. ”

"Woman? Didn't Meng Yan just get married? Or is it Zhong's? Zhuo Bailing felt a little inexplicable, it is not surprising that there are women in the military tent, there are not a few women in the south who are in the army, and it is strange that the Zhong woman is unexpected, the identity in the Mengyan tent must not be low, only the three girls of the Zhong family can think of, the eldest girl is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tu Shan family, the second girl is Xiao Huli's wife, and the young woman is only the third girl of the Zhong family, Zhong Roulan, what Zhuo Bailing does not understand is that although the Zhong family is already in the same boat as Xiao Huli, after all, it has not directly expressed his betrayal of the imperial court, which is a common means used by the family. I can't figure out what Zhong Roulan appeared for.

"Where is the White Tiger Army?" Zhuo Bailing then asked, he really couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, the Zhong clan was too far away to be able to help substantially.

"It should be Xiao Yu, I saw with my own eyes that Wang Zongqing respectfully regressed out of that strange partial tent, and also saw a person, according to the information given by the family, that person should be Xiao Yu's guard commander Xiao Cong, we were discovered by him, and after fighting him, I confirmed that he was Xiao Cong." Zhuo Song still had palpitations when he thought about it, this Xiao Cong's martial arts were already close to the realm of Jizang, and he had fought in the military formation, it was really difficult to deal with, if it wasn't for the three brothers pestering him, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back.

Zhuo Bailing slammed the table heavily, as if venting his dissatisfaction, "Xiao Huli is going to settle Xianghu, but he also looks down on my Jiangyou's soldiers and horses too much, pass the order to go down and reorganize the army!" ”

Zhuo Song was taken aback by Zhuo Bailing's action of slamming the table, Zhuo Bailing, who had always swallowed his anger, had never been like this even if he was looked down upon by the people in the clan, and he would get angry when he saw an honest person, so he hurriedly took the order.

The order is given, how to fight is a problem, Meng Yan gave him a big problem, the big camp is a piece of fat, and it has been put on the lips, but the left and right vanguards are not good people, Ye Bohuai of the left vanguard, Xiao Yu of the right vanguard, it seems that the left vanguard is the weakest, it is indeed difficult to choose for a while, he has 50,000 horses in his hands, and it will take at least half a month for reinforcements to come, he can only start first, and he made up his mind after thinking about it, 5,000 people defend the city, resist Ye Bohuai, and 30,000 people go directly to Xiao Yu Hard Steel, If you win the fight, Xiao Yu's head will fall to the ground, and if you can't win the fight, you can just retreat, and you will personally lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Mengyan camp, as long as the cavalry rushes and kills fast enough, a fire is set out, leaving 10,000 infantry to cut and kill the people who rushed out.

As soon as he made up his mind, he heard a loud announcement outside the tent, "Commander, Ye Bohuai, the left vanguard of the southern border, will arrive in the city in less than an hour!" ”

"That's fast! Meng Yan finally sent his troops. Zhuo Bailing said in his heart, but this is an opportunity, who would have thought that he would take advantage of the chaos to go out of the city.
