Yanjin City is naturally separated by the Hengshui River, a tributary of the Jinxiang River, and is juxtaposed with Nanling City on the north bank of the Jinxiang River in the west and east. Yanjin and Wangjin, Nanling and Jinjiang face each other across the river, and are the four important city ferries in the middle reaches of the Jinxiang River.

The four cities were originally the four counties of the Chen Kingdom. Seven years ago, the state of Chu wanted to annex the state of Chen, under the pretext of exchanging Shaocheng and Qingcheng on the south side of the Hindu Mountains for Yanjin and Nanling on the north side of the Jinxiang River. Chen Jun saw that the two cities of Shao and Qing were the border cities of the Chu State, hanging alone on the north bank of the Mingjiang River, backed by the Hindu Mountain, and there was no danger to defend in front of the powerful naval army of the Chu State. Who knew that Chu Jun clearly said that he would forcibly change it, and sent a sailor from Lancheng on the upper reaches of the river on the north side of the Jinxiang River to take over. Chen Jun saw that he couldn't hold on, so he asked for help from Qin Jin. After the allied forces of the two countries sent troops to jointly drive back the Chu army, the Qin army occupied Yanjin and the Jin army occupied Nanling, and they never retreated. Chen Jun had no choice but to divide the two places to offer Qin and Jin.

Although Yanjin City is not large, dozens of warships can be berthed at the ferry four miles away from the city. After the Qin State got it, it had an additional way to dominate the world, so it sent heavy troops to garrison here all the year round to train the naval army to peep into the southeastern countries.

At the fifth watch, the thunder roared loudly, and the autumn rain fell suddenly. In the general's tent at the Yanjin ferry port, the Qin general Wang Yue was sleeping at the desk, and was suddenly awakened by the shouting of the guards on duty outside the tent, so he got up and came to the tent door with a blanket, and asked why he was making a lot of noise.

Zhang Dahu, the commander of the guards, knelt down on one knee and confessed to Wang Yue: "Just now, a huge heavenly thunder fell on the mountains and forests more than 20 miles away, and the light illuminated the field. ”

Wang Yue looked around at the guards on the left and right, and saw that they all nodded, that is, they looked into the sky, but they didn't see any characters, so they ignored it, and looked back at the military report on the copy.

In the early morning five days ago, Hanyang sent a secret decree from the monarch, asking him to set up 300 camps outside the city and wait for 70,000 soldiers and horses to come. And explained that if Chen Guo asked for help, he would definitely agree.

After receiving the news, Wang Yue personally commanded the 10,000 foot soldiers of the headquarters to set up camp tents along the river that day, and it was completed in half a day. On the evening of the second day, Luo Daoping, the general of the Xiao cavalry battalion, led 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers to escort grain and grass to the camp. After the handover of the two phases, the accompanying eunuch Liu Changyi took out another secret decree and looked left and right with Wang Yue. The secret decree instructed Wang Yue to send scouts to spy on the movements of the Jin army, and assemble warships to wait for the general Meng Qian.

After days of inquiry, it was found that the Jin State was also camped outside Lanling City, and tens of thousands of cavalry foot soldiers came from the mountain road one after another, stationed in the camp, and the general Li Yan Daxu was also standing among them. A few days ago, they captured each other's meticulous work one after another, knowing that they were also spying on them. Wang Yue dispatched intensively and accelerated the arrangement.

After reading today's report by candlelight, Wang Yue pondered for a long time, and just wanted to carry a lantern to inspect the marching sand table, when Zhang Dahu led a messenger outside the account to report that there was a young man who claimed to be Feng Ling outside the camp and brought four people to see General Wang.

"Feng Ling? Young Fengling, could it be the young master of Fengling? Hurry up and invite me to come. ”

After a while, Zhang Dahu came to the account with a few people. Wang Yue looked at the people who came forward, and saw that Feng Ling's clothes were soaked, but his demeanor did not decrease, but his breath fluctuated, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Wang Yue, who is nearly forty years old, is also a good player, and he immediately saw that he had internal injuries.

Behind Feng Ling stood a young man wrapped in a purple cloak with a tired look, who at first glance only felt that he was beautiful and very handsome; After looking closely, I felt that the god was elegant and extravagant. I thought it was a pity that it was a man, if it was a woman, it would be a prince and a noblewoman.

On the right side of the beautiful boy, a white-clothed girl with a delicate face and blue eyes is looking around, with a charming gesture and a bewitching appearance, and the glass eyes are bewitching, even if it is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is decisive in killing, when looking at the pair of bewitching eyes, Wang Yue's heart can't help but sway. Behind them, two men, one long and one young, dressed as entourage, were covered in blood and extremely traumatized.

Feng Ling stepped forward to salute, but Wang Yue stepped forward and held his hands and said, "Young Master doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." Then he pointed to Feng Ling's two retinues and instructed the commander of the guards: "Big Tiger, you take the two of you to the tent to heal your injuries." ”

"General Xie." Feng Ling hugged his hand.

"Seeing that you are in a hurry, and you must have just experienced a vicious battle, I don't know who did it?"

"Black and White Armor."

Hearing this, Wang Yue's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, his face was solemn, and he said: "The young master was able to retreat safely when he was attacked by the demon soldiers, and he was really skilled. But I don't know why these monsters attacked the young master? ”

Although Feng Ling guessed that the magic armor was coming for the princess, due to her identity, he couldn't explain it, so he said: "Although there is a guess below, it has not been confirmed, so I don't dare to say anything." ”

Knowing that he was cautious, Wang Yue stopped asking, and said: "Young Master Wuguan is also injured, please go to the military doctor for treatment first." ”

"A little injury, just deal with it yourself, don't bother."

"That being the case, young master, please rest assured in the village to recuperate, I will send additional guards to protect it." Immediately called the guards and asked them to go down and make arrangements.

"Thank you, General." After speaking, Feng Ling implored Wang Yue to send a sergeant to the place where he first met the black armor demon soldier to bury Liu's entourage, and after getting the approval, Feng Ling took the two princes and daughters, led by the guards, out of the main tent, and went to the residence.

The sky is light and the rain is off. Wang Yue, who was completely sleepy, was thinking about the marching sand table, and the summons came to report that the general Meng Qian had led the army to two miles away from the walled city. When Wang Yue heard this, he hurriedly sorted out his uniform, called the guards and went straight to the gate.

When he came to the outside of the village, Wang Yue saw the word "Mongolian" standing in the middle army two miles away, waving in the wind. Its majestic elite cavalry marched neatly, followed closely behind, and slowly marched towards the camp with great momentum.

Half a quarter after the army arrived in front of the village, the cavalry and infantry separated on both sides, gave way to the avenue, dressed in gold armor, the resolute and fierce half-hundred veteran took the lead, leading dozens of bright young generals, strode towards Wang Yue, and stopped by pressing the horse outside the three zhang.

Wang Yue strode forward, came to the veteran horse, knelt down on one knee, and said with his palms and fists: "Greetings to the general!" ”

The veteran is the head of the military ministers of the Qin State, and the general Meng Qian.

Meng Qian immediately stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm tired, General Wang, please get up." ”

"General, please enter the village." After speaking, stand aside and let the generals pass.

Meng Qian rode his horse into the village, came to the handsome tent that had been arranged, jumped off the horse, walked into the account, and the generals also dismounted to follow.

Meng Qian sat down in front of the case, Wang Yue on the left, Lei Ming on the right, and the rest of the generals stood on the left and right. After everyone stood still, Meng Qian asked Wang Yue: "General Wang, how is the military situation of all parties, you come with me." ”

Wang Yue came out of the ranks, bowed and said: "General, I have been investigating for several days, the Jin army has 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 foot soldiers have arrived last night, and there is no follow-up soldiers and horses, and they are recruiting ships, and there are now 270 large and small." As for Chen Guo, the messenger for help summoned me at noon yesterday morning, and the final general agreed to rescue him and repatriate him in accordance with the king's will. The garrison of Jinjiang City retreated to Xingyang, and there were only 200 men and horses left in Wangjin City, ready to meet our army. ”

"As Xiangguo expected, the Jin army has been properly arranged, and Chen will be destroyed." Meng Qian was amazed and immediately said to the generals. "We are here to save Chen Guo, not to take the initiative to attack the Jin army, and you will listen to orders."

"No." The generals replied.

"Luo Daoping, you lead 10,000 cavalry, cross the river at night tonight, and rush from Wangjin to Jinjiang, but don't enter the city. If the Jin army crosses the river, you divide your troops into five teams and pretend to be the Chen army to take turns to harass along the river. ”

"Order." The right column general Luo Daoping went down to lead the troops.

"Lei Ming, when the ship returns, you will lead 50,000 foot soldiers to carry the baggage and cross the river together, rush from Wangjin to Xingyang, take over the city defense after Chen Jun, and wait outside the city."

"Obey." Adjutant General Lei Ming went down to prepare.

"Wang Yue listens to the order, you leave 20,000 foot soldiers in the headquarters to guard Yanjin, and the rest will cross the river with me tomorrow morning and rush to Xingyang."

"The last general will obey orders."

When the generals went down, Meng Qian saw that Wang Yue had not left, so he asked, "What else is the matter with General Wang?" ”

"Back to the general, the young master Feng Ling was injured after the fifth watch and came to the military village to heal, saying that he was intercepted by the black and white magic armor, but he did not explain the reason, and the last general may not be able to protect him, and he was blamed by Xiangguo, so he reported to the general."

"There is such a thing, you go and invite Young Master Feng to come."

"Yes."

When Wang Yue went out, Meng Qian couldn't help frowning. The black and white magic armor is extremely powerful, good at sneak attacks and assassinations, and extremely difficult. Its affiliation is so mysterious that no one knows it. But as long as someone spreads the word and promises a sufficient payment, he can ask him to sell his life, and it is the most powerful killer group in the world. It is rumored that there are three kinds of killers in addition to the black and white magic armor, such as green face, red pink and shadowless, but everyone they see is dead, without exception. If someone buys a murderer to attack and kill Feng Ling and others, it is extremely dangerous.

A moment later, Feng Ling followed Wang Yue into the main tent.

After saluting, Meng Qian said, "I heard that the young master was chased and killed by the black and white demon armor, who did you know?" ”

"I don't know."

Meng Qian pondered for a while, full of doubts, could it be that someone wanted to assassinate the disciple of the Divine Master? Then he said: "The young master is temporarily recuperating in the village, and I will send people to ensure that you are well-prepared." ”

"Thank you, General. But my injuries are about to heal, and I have important things, so I want to set off tomorrow and go down to the sea with the flow through Yanjin to go to the country of Qi. ”

"I'm afraid the young master won't be able to leave for a while."

"Why is that?"

"Now Li Yanzheng, the general of the Jin State, is leading the army to invade the Chen State, and is deployed along the river between Nanlingdu and Jinjiangdu, if you know that you are going to sea by water, I will not let you go."

"How about that?"

"Young Master, don't worry. Tomorrow, I will also march to help Chen Guo, and then you will go to Chen Guo with the army, and then you will leave by water when you arrive in Xingyang. ”

"That's fine, General Lao bothered."

"It's a little thing, it's not a big deal. I heard that the young master is talented, and please give me more advice. With that, he pulled Feng Ling to the sand table.

Feng Lingqian said: "Don't dare." ”

"The young master doesn't have to be too humble, I have heard about the young master's methods, and please don't hesitate to give me advice." After that, he pointed out the main roads of various organs, explained the route and arrangement of the Qin army's march, and consulted them one by one. Feng Ling answered all questions and pointed out the shortcomings and details that need to be paid attention to. Meng Qian was amazed when he heard this, and secretly praised himself, sure enough, a famous teacher is a high apprentice. Immediately ordered the marching master to write them down one by one, and then correct the deployment.

The discussion between the two continued until lunchtime.
