Following Su Muyu's general order, most of the Lieyue Army camped outside the gate of the Guandong City for the winter, and there were only 2,000 people in the pass.

Now that Han Lin was suddenly in trouble, the scorching moon in the city was a little busy for a while.

But after all, it was a well-trained Lieyue Army, Gu Yunlie was not afraid of danger, and the soldiers under him quickly calmed down.

Gu Yunlie dodged another stab from Han Lin, pulled out his saber with his hand, and slashed at Han Lin's back with his backhand.

He didn't seem to have much trouble fighting with Han Lin, and he still had the strength to see the situation of the others: "Qi Yu, go back and order troops immediately, let's go out of the city from the east gate!" ”

Qi Yu switched on the spear of the army with two swords, turned over with the help of his strength, jumped down from the city wall, and immediately rushed to the garrison of the Burning Moon Army.

Because Su Muyu was going to lead the Protector Army into battle, the two thousand Lieyue Army was not near the city gate, but was on standby at his own station.

Seeing that Qi Yu was going to report the news, Han Lin was anxious and wanted to order someone to stop him, but with a flash of effort, Gu Yunlie handed over his dagger and put his backhand across his throat.

"Stop, or Ben Shuai will kill him!" Gu Yunlie shouted, and when the Dudong Guan Army saw that the Lord was captured, he didn't dare to act rashly and stayed where he was.

Gu Yunlie held Han Lin hostage, and slowly walked towards his own military camp with his brothers on the city tower. Although Guan Jun did not dare to make a move, he followed step by step.

The dagger was tightly pressed against Han Lin's throat, and whenever he opened his mouth to speak, the blade would cut through the thin layer of skin.

By the time they passed, Qi Yu had already made arrangements, and Gu Yunlie let the other brothers get on the horse, and he still restrained Han Lin to the death.

Coming to the East City Gate, Gu Yunlie still threatened Han Lin's life to force the defenders to open the gate and put down the drawbridge.

Waiting for two thousand people to roar out of the gate, Gu Yunlie was still standing on top of the city tower.

He was the only one left in the city, and although Han Lin was still controlled by him, if he delayed for a while, when the archers were in place, it would be difficult for him to get out.

Just as Gu Yunlie hesitated, a sharp arrow broke through the air, almost rubbing his right hand, knocking down the dagger he was holding.

Gu Yunlie took advantage of the situation to push Han Lin back, and at the moment when the army of the Winter Pass went to pick up Han Lin, he flew down the city tower and landed on the war horse.

At that moment just now, Gu Yunlie saw the eagle feathers on the tail of the arrow, looked in the direction where the arrow was flying, and sure enough, met Konoha's eyes.

Konoha seemed to smile faintly, but perhaps because it was too far away, the smile disappeared in a flash.

Lieyue outside the city had also already mounted the whole army at this time, just waiting for Gu Yunlie's order.

The Danchen army led by Konoha pursued Su Muyu and the retreating Protector Army, and had bypassed the Winter Pass City.

Dan Chenjun deliberately slowed down under Konoha's order, so that Su Muyu could escape and not be immediately overtaken. Mu Ye knew in his heart that if he really captured Su Muyu alive, it would be a hot potato: if she didn't kill her, Yao Hongzhi would say that her heart was towards Nanwan, and if she was killed, it would make it difficult for Gu Yunlie to do.

Although Konoha showed mercy to Su Muyu's subordinates, he was not merciful to the Protector Army, and by the time he arrived here, the Protector Army had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and Su Muyu was still safe under the protection of several generals.

Gu Yunlie saw Su Muyu's embarrassed state, and immediately ordered the Lieyue Army to go to pick it up.

Han Lin ordered 3,000 Guan troops, and also came out of the east gate to join Konoha.

If the position is stabilized at this time, the Lieyue Army counterattacks may not be impossible to take the Danchen Army and the Dudongguan Army in one fell swoop.

But Su Muyu seemed to be frightened and asked Gu Yunlie to cover him immediately to escape.

Su Muyu was the commander, and Gu Yunlie had to obey his orders, so the Lieyue Army covered Su Muyu and the remnants of the Protector Army and ran towards Shunzhong Pass.

Konoha only chased out twenty miles before he withdrew his troops, and it was already late at this time, so Gu Yunlie persuaded Su Muyu to take a break here and let the soldiers slow down.

But Su Muyu refused, worried that Konoha would attack at night, so he ordered to flee to Shunzhong Pass overnight.

Konoha didn't plan to attack at night, she knew that today's victory was because it broke the morale of the Protector Army, and they naturally collapsed.

If she chased too closely and the Burning Moon Army had to fight head-on, she would have no chance of winning.

It's just that today, Han Lin rebelled against the water before the battle and betrayed Nan Wan again, which was really not expected by Konoha.

After the Danchen army returned to the Winter Pass, Han Lin held a celebration banquet in the main hall, firstly to celebrate today's victory, and secondly, to catch the wind for Konoha.

Han Lin seemed to be aware of Konoha's doubts, and came to Konoha with a glass of wine: "Han Lin, the last general of the Winter Pass, will meet His Royal Highness the county lord." ”

Konoha poured a glass of wine and saluted: "If it weren't for General Han today, Ben Shuai would really not be sure to recover the winter." ”

Han Lin smiled humbly: "The last general is trying to explain to His Highness. After the military information of Nanwan three passes in a row came, the last general was very worried, although Dudong was an important town, and there were 6,000 defenders, but compared with the 50,000 Nanwan army, there was no chance of victory. At this time, after receiving the news that His Royal Highness was coming, the last general made an assertion and deceived Nanwan, and while gaining Su Muyu's trust, he also kept the 30,000 Lieyue Army out of the pass. Thinking that after His Royal Highness arrived, the inside and outside should be combined and the Nanwan army would be driven back to Shunzhong Pass. ”

Without waiting for Konoha to say anything, the wolf five on the side stepped forward and slapped Han Lin on the shoulder twice: "After the news of your surrender came, I was stupid, and now that you explain like this, I know that my brother is really a man who stands up to the sky, not a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Han Lin was very surprised to see Wolf Five, but what surprised him even more was that Konoha actually didn't care about such an obvious arrogance as Wolf Five, Wolf Five, as a confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, had always been very measured about these things, but in front of Konoha he was so presumptuous.

Han Lin couldn't tell for a while whether it was because Konoha had an easy-going temper that he let the people around him be so casual, or because Wolf Wu looked down on Konoha and didn't take her seriously. So he brushed away Wolf Five's hand without a trace: "Brother praise." Because of the suddenness of the incident, the last general acted rashly and failed to say hello to His Highness, and asked His Highness for forgiveness. ”

Konoha picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for Han Lin, and then stretched out his hand to support Han Lin, who wanted to kneel down and salute: "What did General Han say, this plan is brilliant, it repelled Nan Wan and killed their prestige, this is a great achievement, how can I forgive my sins." ”

The two of you tried back and forth, and found that the other party's speech was not leaky, and he couldn't get any useful information, so he just said some polite words.

The banquet ended quickly, and after Konoha arranged the garrison to guard the pass, he returned to the room he had prepared for himself to rest.

I don't know if it's intentional, the room Han Lin arranged for her happened to be the one where Gu Yunlie lived a few days ago.

Today, Nan Wan left the matter suddenly, and he didn't have time to take all the things in the room. Konoha saw the display of the objects in the room, and knew in his heart that this was his brother's house, but he didn't show it in front of Mu Yun and the others.

Wolf Wu always doesn't smile on weekdays, but the smile on his face today can't be hidden: "County Lord, you see what I said is right, Han Lin is a bloody man, and he will not betray the country and surrender." ”

Konoha nodded perfunctorily and asked seemingly casually, "Are you very familiar with Han Lin?" ”

Wolf Wu seemed to be opened into a chatterbox, telling Konoha that he and Han Lin were fellow villagers, and when he was first selected as a guard, Han Lin was still in Shengjing, which was very helpful to him. Later, because of his excellent performance in training, he was selected by Mu Beimo to be a wolf guard, and his contact with Han Lin became less and less.

"Today's victory in the first battle is a good sign, but after all, there are still three levels in Nan Wan's hands, so don't get carried away. Let's spend a few days repairing in winter, and we have to see how the battle will be fought later. After listening to Wolf Go's words, Konoha said a few more words.

The wolves agreed in unison, and then retreated to rest.

Only Konoha was left in the room, although Han Lin was pretending to surrender, but she still had a faint layer of doubt in her heart, she always felt that Han Lin was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

This doubt, which she couldn't think of an answer, made her feel irritable. In order to calm herself, she simply carefully organized the things in the room, most of them were not very important, except for one thing that was unusual.

It is a waist card, the material is not wood or iron, it seems to have a few lines drawn at random, Konoha looked at it carefully for a long time, and then vaguely recognized that it was a variant of the word "Lie".

This thing looked like an important token, but Konoha didn't remember that Gu Yunlie had such a thing, she held it in her hand and played with it for a while, until this token was warmed by her warm palm, and she took it in her arms.

Thinking of the glance he had with Gu Yunlie from afar today, Konoha felt a little more at ease, and with the fatigue of these days, he quickly fell asleep.

Han Lin hadn't slept yet, he sent a letter to Sheng Jing.

This letter is different from the ciphertext used by the wolf guards, and the content is more concise, although it cannot explain what happened, but it can tell the recipient through horizontal lines of different lengths whether it has been done or not.

The letter was addressed to Yao Hongzhi, and although the content of the letter was very important, Yao Hongzhi was not surprised by the contents.

So far, Konoha is following his arrangement step by step.

He tried his best to set up this bureau, and it seemed that everything was going well, and even the heavens favored him and asked Nanwan to send troops at this time.

It wasn't in his plan, but it was the most important step in his plan. So that his follow-up arrangements can be carried out smoothly.

The plan began to take shape with Zhang Ji's death, and Konoha thought that Zhang Geyuan's death was her first step into the Xiling Dynasty, but she would soon find out that it would become her talisman.

Frankly speaking, Yao Hongzhi doesn't hate Konoha, and it can even be said that he admires Konoha quite a bit in some aspects.

If Konoha was from an ordinary family, Yao Hongzhi would be happy to train her, and then win her into his confidant, but Konoha's identity determined that Yao Hongzhi could only get rid of Konoha.

But there is nothing to be sorry for, if a sword, especially a sharp sword, cannot be used for oneself, then the thing to do is to break it, not to feel sorry for its doom.

"Father, that servant has memorized what to say." The man who threatened Peach Red that day appeared behind Yao Hongzhi.

This person's name is Yao Mao, but he is not Yao Hongzhi's biological son. Yao Hong had no children under his knees, and according to Xiling's convention, he picked a smart and clever person from the clan to raise by his side and recognized him as his son.

Yao Hongzhi nodded, and fell in the endgame on the chessboard in front of him, and the situation that was still entangled in the unknown was instantly clear: "Very good, we can take the next step." ”
