Nina lit the information on the wick and fell into confusion.

Nina didn't know what she should do, she wanted to go home and where she came from, and she didn't want to abandon it.

Nina lay on the edge of the bed, silently teardropping, she was too tired.

Three days have passed, Xianyang's letter was delivered every day the day after the arrival of the salamander, and the news received today is that the public defeat has been unhindered, and the letter recorded the news of the success of the seamless steel pipe, Yan Yan finally had a smile on his face when he saw this sentence.

When Yukihime and the salamander saw this scene, their hearts relaxed, and the inn returned to a calm state.

There were still five days left before the agreed time with the Yue Kingdom, Yan Yan took Xue Ji and the startled salamander towards the ape army camp, and the guards in the city were handed over to Meng Tian to be in charge.

The three of them came to the barracks, Yan Yan summoned Zhao Liang, and then continued to take him to the east, Xue Ji and the startled salamander stayed in the barracks, and began to check everything in the barracks according to the plan.

Zhao Liang rode a horse and followed behind Yan Yan and asked, "Taishi, where are you going?" ”

Yan Yan: "Just follow it." ”

Then two by two were silent, and continued to gallop on the Gobi for an hour, and the two came to a canyon, Zhao Liang looked at the cliffs on both sides, and his brows furrowed.

Zhao Liang: "Taishi, there are traces of man-made here. ”

Yan Yan: "Yes, keep walking, and you will soon know the answer." ”

Zhao Liang had already drawn his knife out of its sheath, getting closer to Yan Yan, and looked around vigilantly.

Yan Yan didn't say anything and continued to ride deeper.

The two of them continued to walk for about half a pillar of incense, and then they saw a group of people waiting in front of them.

Zhao Liang stepped forward and stopped between the other party and Yan Yan.

Zhao Liang: "Taishi." ”

Yan Yan: "Don't worry, your own people. ”

Zhao Liang looked at the faces on the other side who were completely alien and had never seen before, and endured the doubts in his heart.

Yan Yan drove forward, and then Zhao Liang saw that all the opposite side turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, put one hand on his chest, bowed his head and saluted, "See Taishi." ”

Yan Yan "Excuse me." ”

Zhao Liang was still vigilant, the knife in his hand was not unsheathed, and he followed behind Yan Yan on horseback.

This is Zhao Liang hearing Yan Yan's words, "Okay, put it away." ”

Zhao Liang looked at Yan Yan, saw his gaze looking at himself, nodded and put the knife in the sheath, and then heard Yan Yan say to the other side, "Mao Dun, how are you preparing?" ”

Zhao Liang looked at the man who answered on the other side, and shock flashed in his eyes.

Mao Dun, the son of the wolf clan Touman, returned to the empire after escaping from the Yue Clan's capital, but was exiled by his father and disappeared without a trace.

And now Mao Dun, who has disappeared without a trace, appears in the Yue Clan, and obeys the orders of the Taishi, what the hell is going on.

Mao Dun "Taishi, everything is ready, just waiting for the Taishi's order to come." ”

Everyone turned on their horses and walked towards the back of the wooden door.

Yan Yan and Mao Dun were in the first place, and Zhao Liang followed Yan Yan by half a horse.

Yan Yan: "Has the armament sent from Xianyang been delivered?" ”

Mao Dun: "Taishi, it has been delivered, and it was sent by General Wang Jian personally. ”

"At that time, the appearance of Kunpeng also scared me, it was too shocking."

Yan Yan "It's right to be shocked, if you don't be shocked when you see Kunpeng, then Kunpeng will fail." ”

"Live well, and when you need to return to the empire, Kunpeng will come to pick you up."

When Mao Dun and the people behind him heard this, they screamed, and the excitement on their faces was irrepressible.

Zhao Liang looked at everyone, and a happy smile appeared on his face, he also remembered his reaction when he saw Kunpeng for the first time, exactly the same as them, but he was luckier than them and had already experienced Kunpeng's demeanor of spreading his wings, so a sense of pride grew in his heart, and his chin was raised unconsciously.

Zhao Liang looked at the camp in front of him and judged that there were at least three thousand people here.

Then he looked at Mao Dun and Yan Yan, hiding three thousand people in the Yue Kingdom without letting the Yue Kingdom find out, no clues were exposed, it was definitely not arranged on a whim, then it was a long-term plan.

Maudun led the two to the central tent, and once inside, Maudon told the soldiers to forbid anyone to approach.

Yan Yan sat in the main seat, Mao Dun and Zhao Liang sat in the guest seat, Yan Yan looked at Mao Dun and said, "This is Zhao Liang, the deputy general of the Ape Army." ”

Mao Dun patted his chest with one hand and saluted, his attitude was very respectful, and he also knew what kind of army the ape army was.

Yan Yan looked at Zhao Liang and said, "Mao Dun, in terms of establishment, belongs to the White Elephant Army, but only obeys the orders of the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, or Zhang Han himself, belongs to a special army, and has a separate name. ”

"The Night Wolf Army."

Zhao Liang looked at Mao Dun and saluted with his hands.

Yan Yan: "This time against the Yue Kingdom, the two of you will each lead the army to cooperate, and as soon as the order arrives, you will start acting immediately." ”

Mao Dun and Zhao Liang said at the same time: "Take the order." ”

Yan Yan "Mao Dun, after I leave, you will act, disperse the wolf army, and then harass the major cities of the Yue Clan, you don't need to capture the city, you just need to harass." ”

"This harassment continued until the latest order arrived."

Mao Dun: "Taishi, is the army together or scattered." ”

Yan Yan "scattered, divided into two teams of about 1,000 people, and launched an attack on the Yue Kingdom in the name of revenge, after all, your previous experience is just enough to use." ”

Maudun: "Understood. ”

Then, Yan Yanyou looked at Zhao Liang and said, "After Mao Dun began to harass, no matter how the surrounding Yue Clan city lords ask for help, you should not send troops, stick to the camp, and wait for my orders." ”

Zhao Liang: "Taishi is afraid that those lords will see the plan behind it. ”

Yan Yan nodded, "Yes, the current information transmission is too fast, the countries of the Western Regions have already known about the Linzi matter of Qi State, and you are too proactive, but it will make them vigilant." ”

"Only when they can't hold on and ask for help from the royal capital, the king of the Yue clan comes to ask for help, then you can move, before that, use this time the order of the king of the Yue clan as a shield, stick to the camp and not come out."

Zhao Liang: "The last general understands. ”

Yan Yan looked at Mao Dun, "So you have to grasp the proportion, burn and attack the city, but you can't directly capture the city." ”

"After all, if your speed is too fast, the other party will be alert to how you managed to form such an army in such a short period of time, and they will also have doubts."

"And we can't have any suspicions, we must let the king of the Yue clan willingly turn to the empire."

The two nodded, Yan Yan looked at the two of them and said, "After that, you will cooperate to attack the countries of the Western Regions together, so be familiar with each other, and have a thorough understanding of the tactics and the fighting methods on the battlefield. ”

The two of them "will understand." ”

Yan Yan: "Okay, I'm going back, leaving for too long will cause unnecessary suspicion." ”

Mao Dun: "I'll send Taishi and General Zhao." ”

When they arrived at the camp gate, Yan Yan waved his hand to signal Mao Dun to send it here, and the two of them rode away and galloped towards the barracks of the ape army under Mao Dun's respect.

By the time we arrived at the ape army camp, it was already the time when the moon was in the middle of the sky.

Yan Yan and Zhao Liang rode slowly in the barracks, and the two looked at the tent and watched the soldiers sitting around the campfire, talking and laughing.

Yan Yan: "After Mao Dun was expelled by the wolf marquis, he risked his life to sneak into the wolf marquis's mansion and assassinate him, and the final result, as you know, failed. ”

"Tou Man didn't kill him, but expelled him again, and then by mistake, he joined the army and was favored by Zhang Han, so he recommended him to me."

Zhao Liang: "In this way, Touman still attaches great importance to his child, otherwise he will not be punished for committing such a serious crime, but will be expelled." ”

Yan Yan: "You and I can't guess what Touman thinks, but Mao Dun's ability is good, and his understanding of rapid combat is very thorough, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get into Zhang Han's eyes." ”

Zhao Liang nodded, Zhang Han ascended to the sky and became the leader of the White Elephant Army in one step, and his status was equivalent to that of Wang Jian and Meng Wu, but it caused an uproar in the army, but a year later, most of the soldiers in the army were convinced by Zhang Han.

The military exercises, battles, commands, judgment of the situation on the battlefield, and strategic arrangements of the two armies are all famous for Zhang Han himself.

Yan Yan "Zhang Han has a strong sense of the overall situation, can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us in terms of strategy, and is careful in tactics, and his steady and steady tactical style allows him not to make mistakes, and even if he makes mistakes, he can remedy them in time." ”

"So this is the reason why he can become the commander of the White Elephant Army, General Wang Qian, General Meng Wu and Zhang Han are all such people, Meng Tian and Gan Yuan are still a little behind, not enough to take up the responsibility of an army, otherwise the commander of the White Elephant Army would not be Zhang Han but Meng Tian."

Yan Yan waved his hand to signal that Zhao Liang didn't need to follow, Zhao Liang looked ahead, saluted with his hands, turned back to the horse, and left here.

Yan Yan jumped off his horse and walked towards Xue Ji, who consciously stopped in place, waiting for the soldiers to lead him.

Yan Yan: "How's it going?" ”

Yukihime grabbed Yan Yan's palm and said, "No problem. ”

Under the clear light, the two strolled through the barracks and whispered words.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Yan took Xue Ji and the startling salamander to gallop in the direction of the city under the farewell of Zhao Liang.

Huichengchi, still living a leisure time.

Give Fusu and Yan during the day? , Yin Man went to class, and accompanied Xue Ji and the startled salamander in the city at night, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Nina is still as if she has nothing to do, and when she has time, she hangs out with Xue Ji and Startling Salamander, or tutors Yin Man to learn and practice calligraphy, which is also fulfilling.

When the appointed day came, the lord of the city from the north, under the orders of Gattuso, came with an army of 10,000 to escort them.

Yan Yan watched Nina and the city lord greet each other, and then Nina walked over with the city lord to introduce the two sides to each other.

Nina: "Taishi, this is the Grand Duke of Dekeba, the lord of the northern part of the Yue Clan's kingdom. ”

Then Nina introduced to Grand Duke Dekeba, "Duke, this is the Grand Master of the Great Qin Empire, next to him is his wife Lady Xue, and the other is also his wife, Lady Salamander. ”

Duke Dekeba and Yan Yan saluted each other, and then Nina looked at Fusu and introduced, "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire, and this is the Spring Gongzi Yan of the Great Qin Empire?" Childe is the son-in-law of the Taishi. ”

Dekeba saluted again, Fusu and Yan? returned the salute, and then Nina introduced Meng Tian, "This is General Meng Tian who escorted us this time, General Meng Tian is deeply loved by His Majesty, young and promising, and is already the master of the first army of the empire." ”

"And his father is known to the Duke as General Mengwu of the Empire, and his grandfather is the deceased General Mengwu."

Dekeba also saluted respectfully, and did not dare to have any contempt, everyone here is high in the status of the Qin Empire, if he goes to the Great Qin Empire by himself, he can see it, but if he can speak, it will be suspended.

Next, Meng Tian and Dekeba inspected the army brought by Dekeba, and two days later, the convoy set off again, heading towards the capital of the Yue Kingdom.

The march was boring, and every day was the same hurry, camp, and hurry, and in this way ten days were repeated, and the team arrived at the capital of the Yue Dynasty.

Nina looked at the familiar city wall, tears glistening in her eyes, Yin Man took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, while comforting her.

Nina tried to put away her tears, but when she saw the figure who greeted the left front of the team a few years ago, the tears broke down again, and it was difficult to control.

Yin Man followed Nina's line of sight and saw a woman who looked much different from her mother, dressed in an expensive gown with a scarf and jewels on her head.

Yin Man understands that this person is the grandmother that his mother often says.

The convoy stopped, and Nina walked briskly towards her mother, and at this moment no one would find fault with her manners.

When Dekeba saw that Yan Yan and the others did not move or stop, he naturally regarded it as ignorance.

Nina threw herself into her mother's arms, tears drenching her mother's gown and scarf, and her mother just hugged her gently and comforted her.

Time passed, Nina regrouped her mood, saluted again, and walked towards Yan Yan and the others with her mother.

Yan Yan saluted, "I've seen Lady Mansha Tina. ”

The crowd in the back also saluted.

Mansha Tina also saluted, "I have seen all the people of the Great Qin Empire. ”

"Please, the king has prepared a reception banquet to wash away the dust of this journey for you."

The convoy entered the city, Meng Tian wore the army to the area arranged by the Yue Clan to station, and Yan Yan and the others followed Mansha Tina to a large palace, where everything for the banquet was ready.

After the banquet, the envoy went to the palace with the state letter and the letter of rites, and Yan Yan and the others lived in the arranged palace and waited for the arrival of tomorrow's court meeting.

Nina took Yin Man into the palace with Mansha Tina, and she would not return until tomorrow.

Now there is still about half a month before Gattuso's birthday, and during this time, all the countries and tribes in the Western Regions have begun to send people to the royal capital to prepare for the birthday gift.

Yan Yan wrote a letter and asked the salamander to send it to Mao Dun through snowflakes, and the next thing was about to begin.

After Mao Dun left for Yan Yan, he began to act according to the plan, and the three thousand wolf army divided into three routes, one of which stayed behind, and two of which went out to burn and disturb the cities of the Yue Kingdom.

After Zhao Liang knew that Mao Dun had started to act, he also issued an order prohibiting him from leaving the barracks.
