Wuzhou Yaocheng, Yanwang Mansion.

Inside a lavish main hall.

Lu Ben bowed his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi Shangshu, the lower official received a secret report from Pingcheng, Li Xingchen wiped out the Dragon and Tiger Village that had gathered in Gaoshan for several years, and countless money and grain fell into Li Xingchen's bag!" ”

"What? Li Xingchen actually seized countless money and grain from Longhu Village? ”

When Chen Qun heard this, his face changed: "Dragon and Tiger Village has two thousand thieves with good combat power, and Li Xingchen was able to exterminate them with only more than two thousand new soldiers, which really surprised the official." ”

The murderous reputation of Dragon and Tiger Village spread all over Wuzhou.

These days, Chen Qun has seen a lot of files on the encirclement and suppression of Longhu Village.

You must know that Taicang City and County Ling Zeng personally led the six-city coalition army, but they could not exterminate the Dragon and Tiger Village.

But right now, this famous Dragon and Tiger Village was actually wiped out by Li Xingchen.

"Now Li Xingchen has money and food, and he has a strong army, and his wings are getting fuller."

Lu Ben said with a solemn expression: "Please also ask Lord Shangshu to restrain it as soon as possible!" ”

"Lu Zhoumu doesn't have to worry, Li Xingchen has committed the crime of rebellion by recruiting soldiers and horses privately!"

As he spoke, Chen Qun took out a scroll of holy decrees: "This morning, this official received a holy decree from His Majesty from Beijing, ordering you to lead your men and horses to Pingcheng and arrest Li Xingchen!" ”

"The lower officials obey the holy will!"

Lu Ben straightened his robe, and then took the holy decree with a solemn expression.

Chen Qun asked, "Lu Zhoumu, what plan do you have for capturing Li Xingchen?" ”

Lu Ben replied: "The lower officials plan to gather 3,000 state soldiers, besiege Pingcheng, and coerce Li Xingchen to be captured!" ”

Chen Qun shook his head and said: "Li Xingchen can easily exterminate the two thousand Gao Mountain bandits, you take these three thousand state soldiers to Pingcheng, you may not be able to bargain!" ”

"That's according to the meaning of Lord Shangshu...... How many people should Xia Guan take to Pingcheng? ”

"At least five thousand elite soldiers!"

"The subordinate obeys!"

……

Outside Qingyun Pass, Jin Guojun Village.

The general Yelu Jingming stood in front of the sand table, studying how to break through the Qingyun Pass.

At this time, a heroic female general walked in.

She has well-defined facial features and a tall posture.

Due to the perennial running outside the plug, the firm skin is sunburned into a wheat color, exuding a honey-colored luster.

Under the sharp sword eyebrows, the slightly pale eyes were as cold as glass beads, revealing a murderous aura, as if they could penetrate everything.

I can't find half of the femininity in my gestures, but I look like the husband in my dream when the girl of the Jin Kingdom is pregnant with spring.

"Meet the princess!"

Yelu Jingming hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the ground.

"General Yelu doesn't have to be polite, we are not Wei people, and there is not so much red tape!"

Wan Yanman walked to the sand table and stared at it for a while before asking, "Does General Yelu have a plan to break through Qingyun Pass?" ”

"Back to the princess, the last general plans to start from here!"

Yelu Jingming pointed to a place on the sand table and continued: "If you attack from here, you will be sure to capture Qingyun Pass. ”

Wanyan Man said: "General Yelu, Qingyun Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we Dajin don't know how many soldiers died in front of Qingyun Pass, and a strong attack is the next strategy after all." ”

Yelu Jingming said: "But except for the strong attack, we can't cross the Qingyun Pass at all!" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Wan Yanman pointed to the place outside Qingyun Pass, and said with burning eyes: "This is the breakthrough point for us to attack Qingyun Pass. ”

"Princess, this place is a cliff, and no one can climb it except the birds!"

Yelu Jingming looked at the place pointed by Wan Yanman and shook his head.

"General Yelu doesn't know anything!"

Wan Yanman said with a high spirit: "I took a few spies out today to investigate the military situation, and I just found that a mountain road here is formed by the impact of mountains and rivers, and in the rainy season, it is a water canal, and in the dry season...... This can be turned into a mountain road leading directly to Qingyun Pass. ”

"Shhh...... Dare to ask the princess, how many people can be parallel on this mountain road? ”

Yelu Jingming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"One person can work!"

"Only one person can do it...... If Chen Xuan sends someone to guard this mountain road, then our Dajin soldiers will have no return? ”

Yelu Jingming shook his head in disappointment.

"The Wei people have an old saying, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger's son; If General Yelu doesn't take the risk, even if we have a million troops, we won't be able to take the Qingyun Pass! ”

Wan Yanman slapped the sand table, and his tone was compelling: "Besides, my father and the emperor have issued a strict order to let the army of Zhengnan take Qingyun Pass within a month, otherwise...... Depose you and my military power! ”

"In that case, then the general will take a risk according to the princess's plan!"

As the chief general of the Jin State's southern army.

Yelu Jingming has been trapped in Qingyun Pass for more than ten years.

Over the years, he and Chen Xuan have fought countless times.

But in the end, in front of Qingyun Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to attack.

That's why.

The Emperor of Jin asked Wanyan Man, the pearl of his palm, to lead an army of 100,000 to help Yelu Jingming break through Qingyun Pass.

Although Wan Yanman is a princess, her military exploits are the first person in the Jin Kingdom.

A year ago, at the age of 20, she successfully destroyed two northern khanates and opened up 800,000 square miles of territory for the Jin country.

Such a proud record shocked the government and the opposition of the Jin State.

Countless Jin people called Yan Man the pearl given by God to the Jin Kingdom, and began to bow to her.

……

Pingcheng, the county capital.

Li Xingchen walked into the lobby and found that Yang Furen and the others all looked solemn.

"Yang Gong, what is the important thing you called me here?"

"Li Dutong, the old man received a secret report from Wuzhou, Wuzhou Mu Lu himself led 5,000 men and horses, and is rushing to Pingcheng, bluntly saying that he wants to arrest you!"

Yang Furen said with a worried face: "Now Lu Ben's men and horses have arrived at Yucheng, which is eighty miles away, and they will be in Pingcheng in two days at most. ”

"Yang Gong doesn't have to worry, although our recruitment of soldiers and horses violates the rules of the imperial court, it is completely for self-preservation!"

Li Xingchen looked at Yang Furen and pretended to be tentative: "If Lu Benzhen wants to arrest me for the crime of treason, I will never implicate you!" ”

Yang Furen hurriedly said: "Li Dutong, but please rest assured, the old man is by no means the kind of villain who betrays his friends to survive, even if Lu Ben's soldiers are in the city, the old man will not hesitate to fight with Lu Ben in order to protect you." ”

The third prince, it's time like this, and you still refuse to tell the truth to the old man.

Do you have to wait until Lu Benbing comes to Pingcheng before you are willing to confess your identity?

If the old man hadn't known your identity in advance, how would he be willing to bet on the Yang family and sacrifice his life to gamble with you?!

You must know that recruiting soldiers without permission is a big crime of rebellion, but it will destroy the nine clans!

The old man is devoted to you, in order to help you rise again.

But you kid is good, just treat the old man as an outsider, and deliberately make temptations.
