The news of the king of Guangnan raising troops reached Dunhuang within three days.

Ning Xiaochuan was not surprised by the news from Feihong, he had expected the rise of the King of Guangnan, but he didn't expect Gaoling's speed to be so fast.

And what he didn't expect was that his second brother Ning Feng actually went to the front line of Su and Jing in person to negotiate peace with the king of Guangnan in the name of the imperial court.

When Ning He saw the news, he directly took the case and scolded Ning Feng for messing around.

"At this time, the hero, do you really think that no one will dare to touch him if he becomes the prime minister of Dafeng? I don't know how thick the sky is. Ning He scolded with heavy eyebrows.

Ning Xiaochuan, who was next to him, frowned, listened to the bleak wind outside the room, and muttered, "Maybe the second brother thinks that the king of Guangnan really doesn't dare to touch him, and the king of Guangnan raised troops to fight the slogan of Zhengsheji and raising the prestige of the country."

The second brother is the prime minister of the imperial court, and he is going to seek peace, if the king of Guangnan moves him, he will really become a rebel minister, and the world will not tolerate it.

Besides, isn't there a big brother behind the second brother? If he wants to move, the king of Guangnan has to weigh and weigh, in case we are provoked, and the 100,000 army goes south, can his 80,000 Zhennan army confront the court and us at the same time? ”

"Even so, it's still too risky, the front-line battlefield, there are many variables." Ning He said worriedly.

Ning Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows, "Big brother, why don't we transfer troops?" ”

"If we transfer troops and the Northern Barbarian army kills us, what should we do?" Ning He sighed.

In fact, if the king of Guangnan really killed all the way to Yindu, the Xiangzhou army only needed a letter of transfer to return to Yindu, but if so, the border pass would have no soldiers to defend, and the door of Xiangzhou would be wide open.

"Don't we care about the second brother?" Ning Xiaochuan said with a deep brow.

"As you said, if Gongsun Changfeng doesn't want to be an enemy in the world, he won't move your second brother, Xiaochuan, you let Feihong continue to stare at Yin Du and the King of Guangnan, I have a hunch that if this matter is not handled well, there will be a big mess in the Central Plains." Ning He frowned and said.

Ning He nodded and turned to retreat.

……

Jing and Suzhou borders.

The 80,000 Zhennan Army was in white armor, with a steel knife at his waist and an iron crossbow hanging behind him, and the army was ready to go, standing on the wasteland, and opposite them was the Jingzhou army led by Wang Bin, the first master of Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is not a war-ready state, and the army at its disposal in peacetime is only more than 10,000 people except for the government service, which is still the situation after the New Deal, if it is before the New Deal, the entire Jingzhou is only 5,000 people.

At that time, in order to deal with the king of the East China Sea, Gao Zhen also asked the military department to allocate a lot of military funds to Jingzhou, if it weren't for these military funds, Jingzhou would have fewer people at its disposal now.

Wang Bin is in iron armor, his brows are tightly locked, facing the Zhennan Army, his pressure can be imagined, on weekdays, he is at most dealing with some Jianghu organizations, or local riots, this time he directly faced the elite army of the formation, and it was several times his own Zhennan Army, and he was more or less apprehensive in his heart.

At this time, Gao Ling was dressed in refined armor, riding a tall horse and standing beside Gongsun Changfeng, looking at the big banner with the word "Feng" floating on the army in front of him, and smiled disdainfully.

"Uncle, this Wang Bin is known as the number one master in Jingzhou, and he dares to stop our 80,000 army here with less than 20,000 people, isn't it a little too indifferent to you."

Gongsun Changfeng snorted coldly, in terms of military strength, he was not afraid of Wang Bin at all, but in the eyes of Gongsun Changfeng, he would not despise any enemy.

"He didn't stop us, but dragged us, from the day we sent out the army, the eyes of the people of the world were fixed on us, and entering Jingzhou was the first problem we had to face.

If we send troops to attack the city, those scholars in Yindu will say that we are criminal ministers who raise troops to rebel, and we will be condemned by the world; If we don't attack the city, then we will spend it here all the time, and if it takes a long time, then our dispatch of troops this time will become a big joke. ”

"I don't want to lose my reputation, but I also want to sit on the Ninety-Five, how can there be such a good thing in the world." Gongsun Lian on the side shook his head and said.

Gao Ling smiled softly, took the reins of the horse and said, "Then the current situation of not being able to advance and retreat depends on my uncle, how can I explain it?" ”

Gongsun Changfeng turned to look at Chen Baibin, who had been following them, and snorted coldly, "Mr. Chen, you have a high opinion. ”

Chen Baibin stepped forward slightly, arched his hand, and said indifferently, "I can't talk about Gao Jian, but I have a humble opinion." ”

"Sir, please." Gao Ling next to him said impatiently.

Chen Baibin arched his hand and said, "This time the army is successful, it should be a quick battle, from a long-term perspective, a long delay is not good for us, and it is a necessary strategy to eat the Jingzhou army."

General Gongsun's worry just now was completely right, which is why they 20,000 people dared to be here, they gambled that we would not dare to blindly attack the city, in fact, the solution is very simple, what we want is just a reason to attack the city. ”

"Then listen to Chen Xianshu's tone, have you found this reason?" Gongsun Changfeng said in surprise.

Chen Baibin pointed to the Jingzhou military camp in the distance and said, "Jingzhou Mu Liu Sheng, privately stationed troops, with bad intentions, in order to ensure the peace of Jiangnan, the prince had to raise troops to prevent trouble, this move is not for selfishness, but for the world." ”

These words made Gongsun Changfeng suddenly enlightened, yes, how to forget this, Jingzhou's 20,000 military horses were not officially recognized, although the imperial court acquiesced to this matter after the new policy, and other states are also expanding their own armies intentionally or unintentionally, but all this has not been officially approved by Dafeng.

In other words, although the 20,000 horses of the Jingzhou Army currently exist, it is unreasonable.

"Yin Du wants to use 20,000 people to make us face a dilemma, but we don't know that this move will kill us." Gongsun Lian stroked his long beard and nodded with satisfaction.

Gao Ling immediately laughed loudly, "Okay, then according to what Mr. said, uncle, the 20,000 army is up to you." ”

Gongsun Changfeng arched his hand, looked to the side, and originally wanted to subconsciously call Zhu Youjun, but when he saw that his side was empty, he suddenly remembered that before sending troops, he asked Zhu Youjun to stay at Xiaonan Pass with 20,000 people to prevent Nandi from taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Let Zhu Youjun stay because Zhu Youjun is indeed a rare general, and if he continues to cultivate, he will be a generation of famous generals in the future.

Moreover, Zhu Youtang, the military secretary of the imperial court, is Zhu Youjun's father, and Gongsun Changfeng doesn't want their father and son to meet on the battlefield, which can be regarded as a way to protect Zhu Youjun.

"The army obeys my orders, beats the drums, and attacks." Gongsun Changfeng shouted loudly.

A moment later, the drums sounded like thunder, and the infantry battalion raised its shield and held its sword, and rushed towards the Jingzhou army.

Wang Bin, who heard the sound of the drums, secretly said that it was not good, and immediately climbed up to the top of the city, looked at the dense white feather army in front of him, and clenched his fists, "Go and report to Lord Zhoumu, the rebels are attacking the city." ”

"Yes."

After the subordinates beside him left in a hurry, Wang Bin clenched his teeth, pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy." ”

The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and at this moment, the White Feather Army, which had been beating the drums, suddenly withdrew its troops.

This funny scene puzzled the officers and soldiers of the White Feather Army who were still charging just now, how could this be so good that Ming Jin suddenly withdrew his troops, this is not a joke for the Jingzhou army at the head of the city.

Seeing the scene of the sudden retreat of the Zhennan army, Wang Bin was also dumbfounded, what is the situation? Say you won't fight if you don't fight?

At this time, a small scout ran up the city wall panting, came to Wang Bin and arched his hand, "General Qiyu, Lord Zhou Mu is in a hurry." ”

Wang Bin picked up the letter, opened it and read it, his face was full of shock, and he looked back at the battlefield, he also understood why Gongsun Changfeng didn't attack at this moment, it turned out that the prime minister had arrived.

That's right, Prime Minister Ning Feng came to Jingzhou.

After reading it, Wang Bin quickly put away the letter, and said directly, "A few of you will follow me to pick up people, and the others will continue to guard." ”

The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who were called away looked confused, picking up people, who are you going to pick up?

At this time, in the Zhennan army, Gao Ling looked at the letter sent by the scout, and there was ten thousand reluctance in his heart, "Do you say that this Ning Feng doesn't want to live?" What to do at the front at this time. ”

Gongsun Lian frowned and sighed, "He came to be a lobbyist and let us withdraw from the army." ”

"No way!"

Gao Ling directly rejected Gongsun Lian's words, "He Ning Feng is considered the oldest, and it is ridiculous to let this king withdraw and this king will retreat." ”

"Ning Feng's identity is the prime minister, and the fact that he can come here in person is enough to see the sincerity of the imperial court, the imperial court really doesn't want to fight this battle, and it really doesn't want Xiao Tianzi to hand over the throne." Gongsun Changfeng next to him said next.

"Hmph, don't care about him, continue to attack the city, if he doesn't want to live, this king will personally send him to see the king of Hades."

Gao Ling was just about to order the army to continue to charge, but Chen Baibin next to him stood up and arched his hand, "The prince must not kill Ning Feng, his eldest brother is Ning He, the general of Zhenbei, if he offends the Ning family because of this, it will be too much to lose." ”

"Xiang Zhoujun is indeed a difficult trouble." After hearing this, Gongsun Changfeng muttered thoughtfully.

"It's not easy to teach Wang Bin a lesson, and there's another Ning Feng!" Gao Ling angrily threw his horsewhip and roared angrily.

Gongsun Changfeng next to him was silent, politics is a combination of conspiracy and conspiracy, and it can't be a big deal if you can only dance with knives and guns.

At this moment, Chen Baibin bowed his hand again, "Lord Wang, General Gongsun, in fact, it is not a bad thing for Ning Feng to come, his identity is the prime minister of Dafeng, and he is the minister of the first emperor, as long as he can change his words, then the position of the Son of Heaven is not the prince's?" ”

"Hmph, you still underestimate Ning Feng, the Ning family has five sons, and all five sons are talented, if Ning Feng is such a villain who is greedy for money and spares his life, how can he achieve the position of prime minister." Gongsun Changfeng smiled disdainfully.

"The general still doesn't understand what his subordinates mean, what his subordinates mean, as long as he Ning Feng is in our hands, how to say and do, isn't it all according to our will?"

When Chen Baibin said this, he showed a ruthless look that was not easy to detect.

Gongsun Changfeng turned his head suddenly, looked at Chen Baibin, and his eyes became fierce, "Lose people's reputation, ruin people's reputation, Chen Baibin, this general is underestimating your methods." ”

"The general praised it." Chen Baibin arched his hand and smiled softly.
