"Wang Xuan, do this... Isn't it too much? Li Dingxing looked worriedly at the group of Gucheng officials in front of him who were tied up by five flowers.

Wang Xuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand and tugged on the ropes on the officials: "It's quite strong, doesn't Grandpa Li like this kind of tying?" ”

Li Dingxing glanced at him angrily: "That's not what I'm talking about, let's take Gucheng like this, okay?" Beiyi has already come to the city, and the reinforcements of Gucheng have just set off, so we will take advantage of the weakness to enter, if the three kings of the north and the court know, I am afraid..."

"The city is in our hands, and I don't know what to be afraid of. And if we lead the troops and don't take the fortified city, can they let us go? Could it be that meeting each other in arms is what Grandpa Li wants to see? Wang Xuan's series of rhetorical questions made Li Dingxing speechless.

Wang Xuan knew that Li Dingxing was not at ease, and continued: "Although we have taken Gucheng now, we have not taken it for ourselves, let alone murdered in vain. After the Beiyi soldiers are retreated, you or Master Yi will go to make peace with the king of Anxi, and the people of the city, money, grain, and weapons will all be returned. Wouldn't it be more sincere? Best of both worlds. ”

Li Dingxing's eyes widened: "It turns out that you had this idea in the morning?" You take the city, but you want me to apologize to others? ”

Wang Xuan spread his hands: "If Grandpa Li is unwilling, then Master Yi will go, and it will be the same." It's just that... When it comes to taking Gucheng, you must not tell Master Yi now. ”

Li Dingxing waved his hand again and again: "Whatever you want, whatever you want." "Li Dingxing didn't know that Wang Xuan's tough methods were the best way, but he was also the second son of Nanhuai Li Mansion, and he still couldn't do this kind of despicable means, after all, Anxi Army is still his own people.

Wang Xuan looked at Li Dingxing and frowned tightly, he didn't care about it anymore, this kind of thing still needs to be thought through by himself.

Wang Xuan walked in front of the big and small officials in Gucheng and waved his hand casually: "Take these adults down, serve them well, and those who neglect them will be dealt with by military law!" ”

A team of soldiers dragged these officials in Gucheng down, Li Dingxing looked at these officials being dragged away, stepped forward and said, "Are you going to Zhongcheng next?" I have a plan, but I can take the middle city without blood! You don't have to use your sword again. ”

Wang Xuan looked at Li Dingxing with some surprise: "I haven't come up with a countermeasure to take Zhongcheng yet, Grandpa already has a way?" ”

Li Dingxing smiled mysteriously and whispered in Wang Xuan's ear, Wang Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded: "This plan is wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

……

In Zhongcheng, the reinforcements in the city have already been sent to Fengcheng to help the king of Anxi resist the Beiyi soldiers. The city is now not empty, but also sparsely populated, with only a few women and some old people in the city.

Originally, the location of Zhongcheng was in the hinterland of Anxi, and there was a war, so there was no need for too many people to garrison it.

"Lord Duan, there is Zhongcheng in front, let's attack it now?" The lieutenant general beside Duan Tong asked what he meant.

Duan Tong turned his horse and saw a small hill not far north of Zhongcheng, so he rode his horse and galloped up the hillside, looking at it from afar. The deputy general and the three thousand Beiyi soldiers and horses did not urge, you know, where they are now, if you go forward for decades, Beiyi's knife has never reached here.

This Central Plains man does have some ability.

After a while, Duan Tong returned and said to everyone: "Wait a little longer, there seems to be something going on in the south of Zhongcheng. It should be reinforcements from other cities, and after they leave, we will take the middle city. ”

In fact, according to Duan Tong's meaning, the role of taking Zhongcheng is not too big, but it only crosses Fengcheng, and one or two cities are nothing at all for him and Beiyi. It is best to go all the way south and take the southernmost city of Anxi. Even being able to provoke a big battle between Anxi and the imperial court is what he wants to see the most.

The idea is good, but it is unrealistic. Not to mention anything else, their three thousand lone troops are here, and the Beiyi soldiers and horses don't know about it, and supply is a big problem. If they had bypassed the middle city and headed south, in a few days, the 3,000 soldiers and horses would have starved to death on the road.

"Lord Duan, do you want to send someone to the south to investigate?" The lieutenant general is an impatient in the end, and it is more uncomfortable to make him patient than to kill him.

Duan Tong was about to nod, when suddenly the swords and guns on the city wall stirred, and the defenders of the northern city withdrew more than half, and now there is a huge city wall, but it is sparse, and it seems that there are only a hundred people.

"Things have changed in the south!" Duan Tong was keenly aware of the situation and was overjoyed.

"Find some good hands, come with me!" Duan Tong jumped off his horse, hid Beiyi's short-handled scimitar behind his waist, and strode towards the city gate. The adjutant general did not dare to slack off, and ordered dozens of good players in the army in succession, and went with Duan Tong with himself.

Midtown, South City Gate.

The county order was so anxious that he went around on the city wall, and yesterday Gucheng sent soldiers and horses to help Fengcheng just passed, why is there another team of soldiers and horses now.

"Lord County Commander, the situation in Fengcheng is not critical to that moment, and a city will send reinforcements twice? Beware of deception! The county master on the side said quietly.

The county magistrate said with a bitter face: "Why don't I know? But the people who were just sent have seen it clearly, the Great Seal of Gucheng is there, this... What makes sense..."

The main bookkeeper didn't know that the county order had already sent someone to check it, and said with some embarrassment: "Since the county order has already been checked, if it is correct... Let's let it go. If the prince blames it... Midtown can't afford it. The master bookkeeper is also a smart person, and cleverly replaced the "county order" with "midtown".

The county commander was in his heart: "Okay, anyway, there is no mistake in the official letter of the Great Seal, and if something happens, it is also the fault of Lord Li of Gucheng, what does it have to do with me?" By the way, are the people from the other gates here? ”

"It's coming, just in case, it's all transferred. Don't worry! "Officials in the border areas rarely have wine bags and rice bags.

The county commander lifted up his official robe, hurriedly went down the city wall, and opened the city to greet him: "Where it is rude, I hope that General Haihan!" The general has been in the dust all the way, and please enter the city to rest for a while. ”

Li Dingxing was about to raise his hand to return the salute, but was gently grabbed by Wang Xuan, and the other party Qianlong made a look.

Fang Qianlong and Wang Xuan didn't have much intersection, but after getting along for a while, the two unexpectedly fell in love, and with one look, Fang Qianlong understood what Wang Xuan meant. Fang Qianlong, who also changed into the armor of the Anxi army, took the lead in riding his horse, ignoring the Zhongcheng County order, and swaggered past him.

Seeing that Fang Qianlong was so arrogant, the county commander was displeased, but when he thought that the other party was a character rolling in the battlefield, he couldn't help but swallow this breath, and led people to retreat to the side, get out of the way, and let the soldiers and horses enter the city.

"Do it when you enter the city?" Wang Xuan asked Li Dingxing softly what he meant.

Li Dingxing shook his head gently: "Let's go in first." ”

Li Dingxing and the others did not have many soldiers and horses, only more than 5,000 people, which was also equivalent to the number of people sent by various cities to rush to Fengcheng. After entering the city, everyone swaggered towards the center of Zhongcheng City, leaving the Zhongcheng County Commander and other officials far behind.

"My lord...", the chief bookkeeper saw that the county commander was insulted, and rushed over to ask what he meant.

The county magistrate waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." The characters who fight on the battlefield are like this, and you don't have to be familiar with them. ”

In the north city, the city gate was opened, and all the 3,000 Beiyi troops entered the city. The walls of the city were scattered with the corpses of a hundred or so defenders.

Duan Tong wiped the blood stains on the knife and said to the deputy general beside him: "Enter the city first, seize the official office, and then send someone to change into the clothes and armor of the Anxi army, and quickly control the remaining three gates." ”

The two groups of people and horses all marched towards the official office in the city. Control the official yamen, and it doesn't matter whether the county order is dead or alive. The soldiers and generals in the city did not necessarily recognize the county order, and it was difficult for the order of the county order to be issued everywhere, and the control of a city was completely lost.

The Zhongcheng County Commander naturally knew this, and the official office naturally arranged a lot of people, and at this time, he raised troops to follow behind, but he was not too worried about Li Dingxing and them taking advantage of the situation to make trouble.

The old people in the city were the first to notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they all hid back in their homes one by one to avoid the disaster.

Finally, the official office was close in front of him, and in the distance, he could already see the official guards at the entrance of the official office with bright armor and swords and guns.

Wang Xuan glanced at Li Dingxing, only to see that he had a calm face, still riding a horse and following behind Fang Qianlong with an indifferent expression. Wang Xuan didn't bother with this idleness, and honestly followed Li Dingxing's side, waiting to watch a good show.

On the other side of the road, Duan Tong also led the soldiers and horses, galloped over, just turned the street, and collided with Li Dingxing's soldiers and horses.

“！”

Both sides were stunned, Duan Tong really didn't expect that there were so many soldiers and horses in this official office, and in addition to the guards of the official office, there was such a large wave of Anxi troops! Could it be that this is a plan to invite you into the urn? But there are not many defenders in the north city at all, please enter the urn, and the pockets are not tightly tied!

Li Dingxing didn't expect that in the hinterland of Anxi, there would be Beiyi soldiers and horses! Could it be that Fengcheng has been lost?

Both sides were stunned at both ends of the street, not reacting. The fastest reaction was still the Zhongcheng County Order, who had just turned around and saw the Beiyi people led by Duan Tong, and was so frightened that he almost fainted, and hurriedly shouted: "Hold the yamen!" Hold on to the yamen! ”

Duan Tongxin was ruthless, gritted his teeth and rushed over, if he couldn't catch up at this time, he would fall short!

Fang Qianlong also reacted quickly, the difference between Beiyi's armor and the Central Plains' armor was obvious, seeing that the other party was from Beiyi, and instead of retreating, Fang Qianlong kicked the war horse fiercely, and rushed head-on.

"Let's help!" Wang Xuan knew that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly said to Bai Xinglong and Qin Xiangqian beside him.

The two of them shot and swords, rode out of battle, and faced Duan Tong together.

"If you can't win, you quickly exit the middle city and return to Beiyi! Life and death are in peace! Duan Tong had no idea at this time, so he had to explain the most conservative way of retreat to the deputy general.

"What about you, Lord Duan?" The deputy general was a little concerned about Duan Tonglai at this time.

"Leave me alone!" Duan Tong stepped on the back of the war horse, jumped forward, and flew directly towards the official office.

Fang Qianlong smiled coldly, and also jumped off the horse's back and stopped at Xuantong.

"Kill!"

At the entrance of the official office, the Beiyi army and the Shangwu camp fought together...
