On the fifth day of the fifth month of the first year of the Chen Kingdom, Xiao Huli, the lord of the Chen Kingdom, swore an oath in the northernmost Shaonan City of the Eight Prefectures to make a decision to march north, hang the people for the crime, and show the world.

A total of 230,000 horses were recruited from the three route armies, with 60,000 Bai Zejun led by Gongmengyan of Shaochuan County as the left route army to attack the Xingtan Gu clan, 70,000 Qilin troops led by Xiao Yu, the king of Zhanchuan County, as the right route army to attack the right Zhuo clan of Jiangyou, and Xiao Huli formed a 100,000 middle route army with 60,000 guards and 40,000 Teng Snake Army of Gongxia Hou Ming of Pinghai County to sit in Shaonan and support the left and right.

Shaonan City is Mengyan's old territory, and Meng's Taoli Hall is also here, naturally Mengyan wants to do the friendship of the landlord, Xiao Huli and his party are accompanied by Cang Shuliang, and Xiao Yu's people are naturally entertained by themselves.

At this moment, Bai Zejun, led by Ye Bohuai, was fighting with the Qilin army led by Xiao Cong in the outer hall of the largest restaurant in Shaonan City, Ye Bohuai and Xiao Cong were old acquaintances, and the task of connecting everyone was naturally theirs.

In the private room in the inner hall, Meng Yan and Xiao Yu listened to the noise outside, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, Meng Yan took a bite of the dish and said: "Big brother, after this meal, you and I are going to go on the expedition, I wish you a great victory!" ”

"Second brother, the words of righteousness are all false, my brother just said a word, calm down and calm, Gu is just an ant." Xiao Yu is still worried about Meng Yan's state, he didn't ask Xiao Huli to change the expedition route of the two armies, Xiao Huli denied it, Xiao Huli thinks that Gu and Meng Yan have personal enmity and family hatred, one is to hope that Meng Yan will take revenge, and the other is that Meng Yan knows Gu better, but Xiao Yu is worried that hatred sometimes blinds his eyes.

"Don't worry, Gu Yingfeng almost killed me, and I didn't fight Gu Qufeng endlessly, hanging the people and killing the people, and obeying the heavens is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"Okay, I won't say more, I just took a look at the generals of the battalions under your command, most of them are old generals of your Xuanwu Army, but are you sure that Jin Qian is available?" Xiao Yu doesn't have a good impression of Jin Qian, this person is too distinctive and difficult to control.

"Hahaha! Big brother, apart from Uncle Cong, which of the thirteen Taibao under your command is not unruly, have you ever been afraid? Meng Yan asked rhetorically.

"You and I lead soldiers differently, you are a person who cultivates both civil and military, you can get out at any time when you encounter danger, but I can't, how can I save my life if there is no strong general in my hands?" Xiao Yu retorted.

"That's right, the generals under your command are all fierce generals on the battlefield, most of them are from Lock Gate Island, and they have all been tempered by thousands of tempers, and no one on my side can compare with me in terms of toughness." What Meng Yan said was real.

Xiao Yu is actually very helpless, it is true that the generals he recruited are fierce generals, and it is also a fact that he has strong toughness, but in terms of marching formation, it is still not comparable to Meng Yan's command, fortunately, there are Xiahou Ming's recommended Yuanling Dynasty Daizhou Xuanfu envoy is now the deputy marshal of the Qilin Army, and the former Ling Dynasty Tongzhou Assassin Shi is now the Qilin Army, Sima Yingzongyue, the two of them can compete with Bai Zejun, "It's a big difference, you are all newcomers who have just come out of the oven, and I am all suppressed old people here." ”

"Okay, don't argue, seriously, how long do you think it will take for us to return from this expedition," Meng Yan suddenly whispered and said happily: "Haoyue is already pregnant!" ”

"Seriously!" Xiao Yu was also overjoyed when he heard this, "I said that I will keep my son and daughter." ”

"Big brother, do you have to have a child first?" Meng Yan teased.

"Humph! How do you know I don't? Xiao Yu pretended to be mysterious.

Meng Yan looked at the past intently, then laughed and pointed at Xiao Yu and said, "Sister-in-law too?!" ”

"Be quiet!" Xiao Yu reprimanded, "What about you when the medical officer in the palace diagnosed it last month?" ”

"The eldest brother is the eldest brother, I only found out about it three days ago when I left Chen City, otherwise Haoyue would have followed him a long time ago."

"Okay! If it's all boys or daughters, let them worship, and if it's a boy and a girl, we'll make up our minds. Xiao Yu said with a little excitement.

"It's all in one word!" Meng Yan stretched out his palm, Xiao Yu high-fived and said, "It's hard to chase the horse!" ”

"Second brother, you're right, it's hard to say how long it will take to return from this expedition, do you know that Geng Yan is preparing a three-year reserve of grain and grass for an army of 200,000 troops, and my little aunt is presiding over Chencheng, you know her ambitions." Xiao Yu always had an inexplicable anger when he mentioned Zhong Rouning.

"Anyway, today I agreed with my eldest brother that we will meet on the banks of the Yingshui River in two years?" Meng Yan suddenly remembered something, and directly used Yingshui, both of them, as the location of the meeting.

"Yingshui is a good place, just do as you say, two years later, we are drinking together on the banks of the Yingshui River!" Xiao Yu understood the meaning of Meng Yan's mention of Yingshui, which is the place where the Yingchuan Chen clan and the Jiangdong Changsun clan meet, and they are each other's mother clans, and it is a meaningful place for both of them.

Waiting for the soldiers to assemble in Shaonan City, the battalion owners will return to their positions, Meng Yan and Xiao Yu and others officially entered the combat readiness, and after many discussions with the Military Machinery Pavilion, it was decided that before the rainy season came in mid-July, the left route army of the army would be drawn to Shaonan Pass, Gu Qufeng's Linwu City was stuck between Lincheng and Lingling was the most difficult bone to gnaw, but the only drawback was that the terrain was low, and the rainy season was the best opportunity to attack Linwu City; Most of the Right Route Army had already arrived in Xianghu County first, and they must take Luling before the rainy season, otherwise the surging river would not be conducive to the formation of oppression on Xingguo and other places.

"No! I don't agree to fight like this, we all have such a small number of people, all of them are in Linwu, even if we win, it will be worth the loss. Jin Qian refuted with a gloomy expression.

"If we don't take Linwu, we can't cut off the connection between Lin Cheng and Lingling, are you stupid to be Gu Qufeng? Will he sit back and wait for us to divide our forces to attack Lin Cheng and Lingling? Zhuo Bailing's face was angry.

The quarrel between the two has been for an hour, and the entire Bai Zejun tent has been clearly divided into two factions, only Ye Bohuai and Meng Yan have been listening quietly to their arguments, what they both said makes sense, Linwu is stuck in his throat like a fish thorn, and if he doesn't pull it out, he will have to pay the price of blood.

Seeing that this kind of controversy was becoming more and more antagonistic, Meng Yan decisively stopped them and said: "Linwu must be taken down, I have done many deductions with the Military Aircraft Pavilion, but it is not necessary to pay a big price to solve Linwu." ”

"Jungong, the low terrain of Linwu is conducive to our attack in the rainy season, but don't forget that the rainy season is also a big trouble for us, so I still insist that I go to Lincheng first to cut off his arm." Jin Qian did not intend to give in because it was the decision of the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

"Break one of its arms? You think it's good, you attack Lin Cheng, as long as he stubbornly guards the rainy season, once the rainy season is over, the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and the people are well raised in the city, but we are tired, how to deal with it?! Zhuo Bailing sneered.

Seeing that it was about to be tense again, Ye Bohuai slowly stood up and persuaded: "Two, two, don't be busy fighting, do you all think that Linwu is stuck in our throat like a fish thorn?" ”

The two were noncommittal, Ye Bohuai saw that he stabilized the two, and then said: "The most we eat on weekdays in the south is fish, Zhuo Sima, you grew up by the river, what will you do if you get stuck by a fish bone?" General Jin, you grew up by the sea, what would you do? ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and then Jin Qian took the lead and said: "Ye Shuai, the fish bones are stuck and you can go down by drinking more soup or eating some sour." ”

Ye Bohuai looked at Zhuo Bailing again, and Zhuo Bailing said: "Most of our people on the right side of the river are eating more rice balls to swallow. ”

Ye Bohuai clapped his hands and said, "That's right!" Isn't there a solution? ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, except for Meng Yan who guessed the way, the rest of the people didn't know what Ye Bohuai meant, and only heard Ye Bohuai say: "Linwu is like a fish bone, it is about to reach the rainy season, what is the most in the rainy season, it is water, General Jin said to drink more soup, then flood Linwu with water, of course, flooding with water is not enough to take it quickly, then we will add Zhuo Sima's method and give it some rice balls to swallow, this rice ball is a stone, and the most important thing around us is the mountain stone." ”

After listening to this, everyone suddenly realized, especially Jin Qian, Zhuo Bailing understood Ye Bohuai's ability, and he was not surprised that Ye Bohuai could easily solve the problem, but Jin Qian was different, he had just joined, and he was very disgusted with a drunkard like Ye Bohuai, but today's plan made him convinced.

Seeing that everyone no longer raised objections, Meng Yan said: "Ye Shuai's method is understood by everyone, let's go and do things separately, Zhuo Sima, you are responsible for building a place to store water as soon as possible, General Jin bothers you to take the soldiers to quarry, it doesn't need to be too big, just enough for the big water to wash down." ”

When everyone received the order and was about to leave the tent, Meng Yan suddenly stopped Yu Geng and said: "General Yu, the forward battalion can't be idle, when the others are preparing, you bring people to give me a constant harassment of Linwu City, I will only give you one, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, you just can't let them eat and sleep normally, and you don't have to withdraw to Shaonanguan until the rainy season comes, and you can find a high place on the mountain to repair, so as to facilitate the later rush." ”

Ye Bohuai raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and regardless of whether everyone was present or not, he said with a smile: "I'll just say that you have a bad stomach, look at what you asked General Yu to do, aren't you teasing Gu Qufeng!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Meng Yan laughed too, and then Meng Yan said, "Everyone! Pull out the camp and Shaonan! , we are going to touch this family that has stood for thousands of years! ”

"I wish to go with the commander! I wish to go with the handsome! "None of them have a good impression of the family.
