Nothing will be smooth sailing, a series of troubles in the last few days of the first year of the Great Xuan China found the Xuan Army, the people sent out by the Great Xuan Qin King Menghuan were still negotiating with Jiangzhou, the Jiangzhou Army was in turmoil, detained the Great Xuan Messenger, and the Jiangzhou guard was directly beheaded, and on the same day the Puzhou guard Wang Tao announced that Puzhou and Jiangzhou would return to Daning, and the two states of the civil and military registers were all sent to Taiyuan.

Meng Huan didn't have time to react for a while, so he had to gather his army and retreat to Qinyang, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and at the same time that Wang Tao announced that he would be attached to Daning, Puyang's Ning army occupied the entire territory of Linzhou overnight under the command of Qingwu, and at that time, Long Tingfei's soldiers and horses had just arrived in Qi County, and Long Tingfei immediately informed Huo Youji after learning the news.

But how did he know that Huo Youji's life was not easy, Yu Qingwu divided the soldiers and horses into three groups, and did not attack on a large scale, but only built a military, wanting to fall into the encirclement of Huo Youji, Huo Youji had no choice but to slowly retreat, after Long Tingfei's report arrived, Huo Youji's mind was full of paste, so he made the only wrong decision in his life.

Huo Youji ordered Long Tingfei to stick to Qi County, and at the same time retreat his soldiers and horses to Neihuang, his original intention was to ensure that Kaifeng was not lost, if he changed to another general, he might have stopped, but unfortunately he was facing Yu Qingwu, who was the leading general in Daning, Huo Youji did not know that he would face the most difficult moment.

Originally, as long as everyone didn't act with each other, they could still maintain the status quo, but it was a pity that Wang Tao's actions annoyed Zhong Bai, Zhong Bai took the soldiers and horses of Jinnan to send troops to Jiangzhou privately, but Meng Huan did not stop it, which gave Daning a chance, Jinling Xiao Yu learned that Daning took the initiative to attack Jiangzhou, and immediately unilaterally announced a war with Daxuan, on the grounds that Daxuan's soldiers and horses violated the territory regardless of the agreement, which was the first time that Daxuan did not have an advantage in public opinion.

Meng Yan led the soldiers and horses of the personal conscription before they arrived in Yiling, the queen's car chased up, Meng Yan saw Gu Qingfeng's car driving over and was full of displeasure, but after Gu Qingfeng opened his mouth to tell the matter of Jinnan and Kaifeng, Meng Yan couldn't get angry, and hurriedly rode into Yiling City.

"Is Huo Youzhi crazy or is Old Eleven crazy?! What are the two of them going to do?! Meng Yan was rarely angry.

Gu Qingfeng remained calm and reassured: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to blame them, they have been used to the battlefield smoothly over the years, the old eleven is careless, he thinks that the imperial court has made preparations for war with Daning, Huo Youjian is afraid that he has forgotten that maybe he doesn't know how terrible Yu Qingwu is, what we have to do now is how to keep Kaifeng safe." As he spoke, he pressed Meng Yan against the chair.

Meng Yan just wanted to get up and scold, and Gu Qingfeng's hand was already pressed on his temple, and a trace of coolness rushed directly into his mind, and he suddenly became much sober, and after a little thought, he said: "Save Jinnan or save Kaifeng, this is the question that my sworn brother gave me!" ”

"Yes, Xiao Yu rarely takes advantage of you and will definitely not let you go, how do you plan to choose in such a situation?" Gu Qingfeng asked softly.

"Choice? I Meng Yan has never given up any brother in my life, whether it is Jinnan or Kaifeng, I will save it! Meng Yan said solemnly.

Gu Qingfeng put down his hand, pulled a stool and sat directly in front of Meng Yan, took his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Quan Xi, who Zhong Bai has provoked by sending troops, Quan Xi could have lived in peace with us, but Zhong Bai's rash move has changed the situation, if you protect Jinnan, Xijing Ganming will immediately go south to Hanzhong, what should Hanzhong do at that time?" ”

Gu Qingfeng's words made Meng Yan find that he had completely fallen into Xiao Yu's trap this time, Gu Qingfeng's analysis was very right, now he is weak, if he lives to protect Jinnan and Kaifeng, then Hanzhong will be dangerous, this risk is absolutely not to be taken, compared to Kaifeng and Jinnan, the importance of Hanzhong is not the same, and it is not worth exchanging Kaifeng and Jinnan for Hanzhong.

But for a while, he couldn't think of any good way, he was very annoyed, Gu Qingfeng saw this and continued: "Qilang, now that Luochentun has gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, at this time, we should do a good job of distribution, we are now starting from Yiling, no matter where we go, the time is very tight, Xiao Yu and Yu Qingwu played a good hand." ”

Meng Yan knew that there were some things that could not be delayed, so he got up and walked to the geographical map of mountains and rivers to look at the situation, Meng Huan had to rush back to Hanzhong, and Zhong Bai was by no means Quan Xi's opponent, even if Mu Yi was allowed to go to Jinnan to preside, he couldn't fight against Quan Xi, and Kaifeng here because of Huo Youji's retreat gave Yu Qingwu a chance, and the loss of Neihuang was just around the corner, and the original offensive situation was likely to become "Kaifeng Defense".

It wasn't until the time when Meng Yan made a decision, he led the army straight to Kaifeng, resisting the pressure from Qingwu, Gu Qingfeng led a group of soldiers and horses to Luochen, presiding over Luochen and Jinnan military affairs, Meng Huan of Qinyang must rush back to Hanzhong to preside over military affairs before the Shangyuan Festival, he couldn't figure out when Xiao Yu's methods became so crisp and neat.

The lights of the famous city on Chinese New Year's Eve are brilliant, Xiao Yu white arowana on the head of the famous city looks at the scene in the city very proudly, Zhong Roulan's strategy plus Yu Qingwu's personal ability, plus his own support, this time finally let Meng Yan plant, they have calculated, this time at least the remaining three states in Jinnan, of course, if Meng Yan is hot-headed, Kaifeng or Hanzhong is not impossible.

"Your Majesty, the Fufeng County Duke sent a message, saying that it is ready." The shadows flashed out, and one person reported.

"Tell Gan Ming, let them have a good New Year, and enter Hanzhong after the Shangyuan Festival, there is no requirement, as long as the Xuanjun army in Hanzhong cannot go west to rescue." Xiao Yu said confidently that although Hanzhong is important in his eyes, it does not have to be won, after all, the Xuanjun army in Hanzhong is a good soldier.

As soon as the man left, Xiao Yu continued to say faintly: "Let Teng Han not be idle, mobilize some troops and horses to come over and put some pressure on Jinnan and Kaifeng." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu once again faced the famous city, he wanted to appreciate this famous city in Hebei.

Yu Qingwu on Chinese New Year's Eve was not in a very good mood, and after eating Chinese New Year's Eve with the generals, he dragged his tired body back to his camp, and his many years of military career made him not accustomed to living in the room, but the camp tent made him more steady.

Yu Qingwu is fifty-two years old this year, half a life of horses, he knows that in private everyone calls him Daning's "firefighting commander", every time a big war starts to use him or not, it is always him who ends up in the end, so Xiao Yu's trust in him exceeds that of everyone, and even the prince Xiao Ning said after a drunken time: "Yingguogong's character and ability are my model, and his father's trust in him makes Gu very jealous!" ”

It is precisely because of this that Yu Qingwu is always tired on the Ning and Xuan fronts, he was unwilling to go to war with Daxuan this time, but His Majesty insisted that he could only accept it, fortunately, Xuanjun was confused this time, he originally planned to hide from Huo Youji's arrogance, but he found that the Xuanjun front was very long, and he immediately decided to hit it hard, what he didn't expect was that something happened to Jinnan, which made Huo Youjian make the decision to retreat, if Huo Youji chose to retreat to Qicheng, he could only move forward step by step, But unexpectedly, Huo Youjian chose to retreat to Neihuang.

Neihuang is in the east of Kaifeng, Huo Youji may want to cooperate with Long Tingfei to enter Linzhou together, but he forgot that Qicheng is the southeast gateway of Kaifeng, and it is the east gate of Xuchang.

Yu Qingwu dragged a brazier in front of him and roasted it, it was too cold, today was Chinese New Year's Eve, he sent everyone to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he knew that after today, he didn't know how many people would lose their lives.

A rapid cough dragged Yu Qingwu back to reality from his thoughts, he got up and moved his muscles and bones, suddenly he froze, the knife wound on his back recurred, and he slowed down for a while, until he sweated slightly on his head before he relaxed, and shook his head self-deprecatingly and helplessly looking at the information on the table.

It wasn't until the sound of the New Year's firecrackers that he got up again, and then shouted, "Someone! Let the Tanma Military Division gather in the big tent! ”

After a while, all the leaders of the horses were concentrated in Yu Qingwu's big tent, Yu Qingwu looked around at everyone and said helplessly: "The new year has just arrived, and the general doesn't want to ruin everyone's interest, but the opportunity waits for no one, and I have to trouble you to be sure to deliver the general's order to all armies tomorrow afternoon!" ”

The leaders of the horses all said yes, the military order is greater than the sky, as a general, it is their honor to have such an attitude, but in a quarter of an hour, Yu Qingwu sent out all the military orders, and at the same time asked the guards to wear armor for him, it is not that he is hypocritical, but his arms can't move big, His Majesty is in the daimyo, and the old guy Teng Han is also nearby, he feels that it is time to go and touch the young talent Huo Youjian of Daxuan.

On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Qingwu led his troops to arrive at the periphery of Neihuang, he wanted to lock Huo Youjian here, he couldn't let him have the possibility of rescuing Qicheng, and he couldn't give him a chance at all, he knew Xuanjun too well, and once they reacted, the situation could be reversed in an instant.

Huo Youzhi was still thinking about how to go north, and suddenly found that he couldn't get out, on the first day of the new year, the city was full of Ning Jun, led by people with golden helmets and golden armor, and a white beard, it was none other than Yu Qingwu.

Huo Youji is not a weak person, immediately led the troops to meet the enemy outside the city, Yu Qingwu's eyes were sharp, just raised his hand and all the Ning troops pounced on Huo Youji, half a day of fighting, although the Xuan army was strong, but could not stand the strength of the Ning army, at sunset, Huo Youji, who had more than ten knife wounds on his body, was desperately rescued back to the city by the guards.

Yu Qingwu did not withdraw the troops, but asked the soldiers to set up braziers, light torches, and fight at night, the Xuan army on the head of the inner Huangcheng tried their best to fight, Huo Youji simply treated the wound and put on armor and went into battle, until this moment he found that from the moment he made the decision to withdraw the army, the matter was not in his control, and the initiative was now in the hands of Qingwu, an old horseman.

A night of bloody battle until dawn, Yu Qingwu slowly withdrew his troops, Huo Youji looked around the city and there was no soldier who did not hang colors, Huo Youji suddenly felt that his throat was sweet, and his mouth was full of blood, he tried his best to swallow the blood back, he couldn't pour, but Neihuang couldn't hold it, if he didn't leave, I was afraid that all of his people would die here.

When Yu Qingwu was having breakfast, the general was happy to report that Huo Youji had abandoned the city, Yu Qingwu raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: "Huo Youji, this kid can know how to advance and retreat." After thinking about it, his heart sank again, if there was a person like Huo Youji among the young generals in Daning, he would not be the "firefighting commander" himself.

He put down his chopsticks and said coldly, "Are you happy?" What's the point of not being able to catch Huo Youji's ability to take Neihuang! Assemble the troops! Pursuit! ”

Huo Youji took the remnants of the army to retreat all the way and fight all the way, and fortunately met Jin Fu's reinforcements thirty miles outside Kaifeng City, and the two armies converged before stabilizing the formation, to their surprise, they found that Yu Qingwu was not in the pursuing Ning army after some exploration.

Huo Youji fell into deep thought, suddenly shouted badly, grabbed Jin Fu's armor and said, "Qicheng! Yu Qingwu's goal is Qicheng! ”

Huo Youji didn't care about many soldiers and horses to move quickly in the direction of Qicheng, and finally arrived at Qicheng after a day's travel, but the battle flag of the Ning Army was already waving on the head of Qicheng City, and Huo Youji could no longer bear a head planted under the horse.

When Huo Youji woke up again, he found that His Majesty, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was beside his bedside, Huo Youji hurriedly got up and knelt down and said, "The minister is defeated!" Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Meng Yan didn't get angry, not that he didn't pay attention to it, but that he had already expected the ending, and said lightly: "Okay, get out, defeat is not terrible, it is important to take it back!" ”

"Your Majesty! Xuchang! ”

"Hmph, Yu Qingwu is not so stupid, he stopped in Zhuxian Town!"
