"Assistant! You go! After the subordinates are broken! ”

Lu Ping still couldn't resist Zhao He's seduction and insults, and put Chen Zhiqing's order behind him and personally led 30,000 people to rush in the direction of Xiangyang, which happened to be Zhong Rouxuan's plan, and the 40,000 people in the ambush in Longzhong were all killed, directly surrounding Lu Ping in the middle, plus the Longzhong army and horses were waiting for labor to catch Lu Ping off guard, and the formation was immediately chaotic.

Lu Ping was annoyed, but this time was not the time to be cranky, after the guards were broken, he decisively rushed in the direction of Shimenjin, as long as he returned to Shimenjin, he would not be too miserable.

In less than a stick of incense, Lu Ping rushed out of the encirclement with the remnants of the army, and Zhao He in the distance was also in a hurry when he saw that Lu Ping was about to run, so he hurriedly led his troops to fall onto Lu Ping.

Just when Lu Ping was about to be besieged again, a team of white-clothed knights rushed out from the Shimen Mountain Pass, and as soon as they encountered the Xiangyang army, they were cut off their horses like chopping melons and vegetables, and the situation of the kung fu battlefield of a cup of tea changed.

Lu Ping, who was finally stabilized, did not look good, this outfit only had Chen Zhiqing's personal soldiers in the Xifu army, and their appearance showed that Chen Zhiqing had already calculated that he would be defeated.

It didn't take long for the soldiers and horses to arrive, personal grievances will be long, and the success or failure of Xiangyang is the top priority.

"Madam, Lu Ping fell into a trap, and it is estimated that General Zhao has already taken his head at this time." The maid beside Zhong Rouxuan said with a smile.

Zhong Rouxuan didn't think so, she closed her eyes and turned her neck, she was too tired, she couldn't rest well in order to confuse Chen Zhiqing and prepare for retreat, even if Lu Ping took the bait, but the personal combat ability of the soldiers of Xifu could also send Lu Ping out of the encirclement.

"What's happening with Chen Zhiqing?" Zhong Rouxuan was more worried about Chen Zhiqing.

"Menghuan's people didn't go to tear down our barricades last night, and the spies came to report that they went to sleep early in Menghuan's camp last night, and it took so much time, it is estimated that they are also numb."

Zhong Rouxuan stopped twisting her neck, this was not normal, something was going to happen, and immediately said: "Visit Menghuan Camp again!" ”

Before the maid left, there was a report from the Malay, and seeing that the man was covered in blood, Zhong Rouxuan felt that things were beginning to be controlled.

"Madame, General Zhao was ambushed by the elite of the thief army fifteen miles outside Shimenjin, and suffered heavy casualties, and Longzhong couldn't hold it!"

Then another scout ran in in a panic, threw himself on the ground and said loudly and frightenedly: "Madam, there are thieves outside the south gate!" ”

Zhong Rouxuan stumbled, Chen Zhiqing was too thief, or despised it, Zhong Rouxuan tried her best to stabilize her emotions, and said to the maid: "Inform everyone to throw away the heavy guys, don't do it, go out of the city from the north gate immediately!" Don't look back, the Nanyang Army is waiting in Xinye to answer! ”

"What about you, ma'am?" The maid hurriedly asked.

"I have to go to the south gate to pacify, delay time, I will definitely meet thieves on the way, don't fall in love with war, there is only one military order to go north at all costs!" With that, Zhong Rouxuan led the guards and ran quickly towards the south gate.

Chen Zhiqing's judgment was not wrong, a small flaw betrayed Zhong Rouxuan's long-planned strategy, and dragged the sick body to the city, Meng Huan knew that he couldn't resist him, so he simply increased his guard for Chen Zhiqing.

"Qingshuai, look at the city."

Looking in the direction pointed by Meng Huan, a petite figure came into view, Zhong Rouxuan did not deliberately pretend, and swaggered around the city.

"The prince called her a strange woman, and now it seems that it is not a lie, the arrogance of the Zhong daughter's is three points better than that of the man." Chen Zhiqing did not hesitate to praise him.

"My commander, they have all hit the city, and the brothers are waiting for your order." Meng Huan was a little anxious.

"Quartz, did they go? I just saw the arrival of the carrier pigeons of the Ming Jian Division, so you don't have to think about hiding it from me. Chen Zhiqing is in a good mood at this time.

The carrier pigeon arrived in fact, but it came from Chengdu, Meng Huan reluctantly took it out and handed it to Chen Zhiqing, Chen Zhiqing opened it and took a quick look at it and laughed, this messenger came from Gu Qingfeng, Meng Yan personally acted as a matchmaker and told him a family matter, no wonder this kid wanted to hide.

After laughing, Chen Zhiqing rubbed his face and said: "There have been a lot of battles, and the brain is still simple, can you see for yourself that the flags on the head of the city look like they are fully garrisoned?" ”

Meng Huan looked up, and sure enough, there were a lot of flags on the city, and Zhong Rouxuan's figure was always there, but it was indeed missing a sense of tension and the busy figure of the soldiers.

Meng Huan looked at Chen Zhiqing puzzled, only to hear Chen Zhiqing say: "You! It's time to get married, start a family, it's hard to start a business, Xiangyang is already in the bag, what's the hurry, the battle of Xiangyang is on both wings, not in front, I'm not worried about Luping, I'm afraid that the news is not fast enough, and the quartz side can't catch up. ”

"You mean, Xiangyang City is empty now?" Meng Huan said in surprise.

"Yes, Zhong Rouxuan has been fighting with us these days, fighting for three or two roadblocks, just dragging out time, and the harassment of Lu Ping is also an illusion, Zhong Rouxuan will definitely disappear in less than half a day." Chen Zhiqing said firmly.

"So what are we waiting for! Hurry up and kill and catch Zhong Rouxuan! ”

Chen Zhiqing raised the horsewhip in his hand and pretended to whip him, but in the end it did not fall on the top of Meng Huan's head, and said with a sigh: "Xiangyang City has been a north-south key since ancient times, and the reinforcement has long been indestructible for thousands of years, what do you think Zhong Rouxuan is relying on, five thousand strong soldiers can stop my 100,000 army!" Do you want to watch your brothers die in the city in vain? ”

Meng Huan looked up again, his eyes were confused, he found that he had never observed Xiangyang City well, and he had never thought about why Brother Wang must take the initiative to provoke a war against Xiangyang, Chen Zhiqing was right, if Jiangxia is the shield of the north, then Xiangyang is the spear of the Northern Expedition.

After the Northern Expedition army crossed the river, the key places were Hanzhong, Huaisi, Qingxu and Yunmeng, Beifu controlled Huaisi and Qingxu, which was equivalent to having the capital to go north at any time.

Meng Huan got off the horse and respectfully saluted Chen Zhiqing, and said sincerely: "Thank you for Qingshuai's teachings, Meng Huan will study hard and live up to the trust!" ”

"! After Xiangyang is taken, the prince will redeploy Yunmeng, you are likely to be stationed in Yiling or Suizhou, but don't think about escaping, I want to go back to Chengdu to recuperate for a while, you accompany me to go back and go to the martial arts academy to study hard. Chen Zhiqing said with a smile.

Zhong Rouxuan looked at Chen Zhiqing and Meng Huan's relaxed postures below at the head of the city, and she was in awe in her heart, and she let herself fall into such a predicament while talking and laughing, and couldn't help but ask herself in her heart: "Could it be that the future of the Central Plains is really in the south?" ”

Xiangyang's predicament is no longer a big deal, Quan Zheng's predicament has just arrived, Shenzhou Yu Qingwu's remnants of the army have not even survived ten days, and Quan Bo has been harassing Hanzhong, so he has to put down his body and propose to Zhong Rouxuan, first, the power in Zhong Rouxuan's hands cannot be underestimated; second, the identity of the Zhong family plays a pivotal role in today's Central Plains; Third, after the battle of Xiangyang, Zhong Rouxuan's military formation was not weaker than that of the world's famous generals.

"Your Majesty, Feng You came to report that Yu Qingwu was reorganizing his army in Shenzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Lujiang and Yingchuan were moving closer to Shenzhou." Xu Shaoting said concisely that after Quan Zheng succeeded to the throne, Yang Feng was appointed as the left minister, and in order to contain Yang Feng, Xu Shaoting was appointed as the right minister.

"Is there any good way to do it?" Quan Zheng said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, only interests are eternal." Xu Shaoting's words were not because he was unwilling to explain, but because the power of Yang Feng, the left minister, was too great, and he didn't want to or dare to offend Yang Feng.

"Do you think there is anything else to talk about in Jinling?"

"Your Majesty, you can't talk about Jinling, but you can still talk about it, and you must miss the warm place very much."

"Kwon Han-liang?" Quan Zheng fell into contemplation, he had cooperated with Quan Hanliang and betrayed, but after all, he couldn't escape the word "Quan", Quan Hanliang can talk about it, and Quan Bo can also talk about it.

Thinking of this, Quan Zheng said: "Right Prime Minister, I want to use you as an envoy to go to the secluded capital for me, are you willing?" ”

"I want to go! It's just..." Xu Shaoting wanted to speak and stopped.

"I understand the worry of the right minister, I rely on the left minister, but I am not a fool like Yuan Changli, Xiang Hua will return from the river to Beijing to defend in the next two days."

"It is naturally excellent that General Xiang can come back, Dahe is the land of Longxing, I don't know what arrangements Your Majesty will make?" Xu Shaoting asked tentatively.

"The right minister is not connected with military affairs, and I have my own arrangements." Quan Zheng saw Xu Shaoting's careful thinking, and when he went to Youdu, he naturally had to wait for a reply in Dahe, and wanted to take the opportunity to attract Dahe to garrison, but Quan Zheng would not give him this opportunity.

Not long after Xu Shaoting left, Yang Feng came with a smile, and casually arched his hand: "Your Majesty, I heard that the right minister is going to envoy to the hidden capital?" ”

"Zuo Xiang is very interested, but there is good news in Hanzhong?" Quan Zheng said with words.

Yang Feng's expression moved slightly, and then he became normal, and said: "Xijing is powerful, and there is some pressure in Hanzhong, but with my Yang army, they can't get out, please rest assured." ”

The corners of Quan Zheng's mouth sneered slightly, and then said with a smile: "The matter of Hanzhong, there is Zuo Xiang, I have no worries, Jinling treacherously invaded my Shenzhou, Yu Qingwu is tyrannical and impermanent, people and gods are angry, and I am ready to reconcile with Youdu." ”

"Your Majesty, even if the alliance with Youdu is successful, the matter of Xiangyang will not be able to go back, Meng Yan has just broken Zhong Roulan in Liling, and approached Xiangyang with the division of Yum." Yang Feng has a great hatred for Meng Yan, and the Yang family originally held the two places of Guanzhong and Hanzhong, but now he has to commit himself to Quan Zheng.

"Mrs. Tu Shan has decided to retreat to Nanyang and protect more than 100,000 troops in Xiangyang." Quan Zheng said lightly.

"Your Majesty wants to give up Xiangyang?" Yang Feng's tone became aggressive.

"Could it be that the left minister has a better idea? Or do you think the Yang army can withstand the offensive in Chengdu? Quan Zheng was undaunted.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, the commander of the night guard came to report and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, the Southern Courtyard is here to report, Chongqi and Zhong Roulan are married!" ”

On a sunny day, there was a lively war along the river, but such a big thunder broke out in the south, and the war in the Central Plains was ignited again.
