【Wind Helmet City】
"What?!You said that the grain and grass in Qingyan City were burned!"
In the lobby of the General's Mansion, Zheng Yuan sat in the hall with a surprised look on his face, questioning the adjutant under the hall.
The adjutant lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, General, Lord Zheng Xiu just sent someone to say that he was asking for battle, and he asked to launch a general attack on Tongming City immediately. ”
"Please fight?" Zheng Yuan took a deep breath and snorted disdainfully. "Not really. ”
"Why, General, the defenders of Tongming City are just a group of improvised rabble, with Lord Zheng Xiu's 30,000 elite iron cavalry, it is easy to set foot on Tongming City. The adjutant asked incomprehensibly.
Zheng Yuan didn't directly answer the adjutant's question, he pondered for a while, and then asked rhetorically: "Xia Xue, according to the intelligence, is a cautious and cautious person, sneaking up on the grain and grass of Qingyan City, this is a big risk, not like her style of doing things. Recently, has anyone entered Tongming City?"
"Uh...... There were a few people who entered Tongming City. The adjutant replied. "Xia Yu of the Xia family and Li Chunfeng and Li Yu of the Li family. There is also a person named Wang Jin. The plan for this night attack on the grain and grass in Qingyan City was formulated by Xia Yu of the Xia family, and he personally led the troops to carry it out. ”
"Xia Yu?" Zheng Yuan's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he slowly and carefully chewed on the name, as if he wanted to get something out of it. "I've never heard of this person. ”
Adjutant: "General......"
Zheng Yuan suddenly stood up from his chair: "You can send someone to Qingyan City, so that Zheng Xiu can't hold out and wait for my army to arrive." Also, I want to have a piece of information about this summer rain. ”
"Yes, General!" replied the adjutant at once.
【Tongming City?Xia Family】
In the evening, the entire Xia family was busy. Everyone was preparing for this banquet in the evening. Xia Xue is the chief planner of this banquet. After she counted all the expenses of the banquet, she came to Xia Yu's small hut located in the depths of Xia's house. Although Xia Yu's status in Tongming City is no longer what it used to be, he still insists on living in his old house.
Xia Xue walked quickly to Xia Yu's door without knocking. I opened the door and walked in. in the room. Xia Yu was discussing some things with Bai Pengfei. Seeing Xia Xue coming in, he immediately asked, "How is the banquet?"
Xia Xue put the expense catalog in front of Xia Yu's table and sighed: "This banquet is a bit extravagant." If we eat two more meals like this, we will go bankrupt. ”
Xia Yu picked up the accounts, looked at them, and said with a smile: "For the sake of these five thousand heads, this amount of money is still worth it, and only in this way can the loss be minimized." Xia Yu quickly browsed the accounts on one side, and then looked up at Bai Pengfei. "Pengfei, you can go now, and those soldiers of Weiqing will be handed over to you. ”
Bai Pengfei immediately stood up, smiled confidently, and replied, "Understand, you can rest assured, Brother Yu." Then, Bai Pengfei turned around and opened the door and left.
After Peng Fei left, Xia Xue frowned slightly with some worry, and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, I'm still a little worried, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and although Wei Qing's Second Infantry Regiment has just suffered a defeat, it is still a regular army after all." Wei Qing's subordinates also have a lot of masters, and Wei Qing himself is also a powerhouse at the twenty-ninth level of the Xiaoyuan Realm, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it. ”
Xia Yu was not worried at all, he put away the accounts and smiled confidently at Xia Xue: "We have no choice, even if we don't make a move tonight, Wei Qing will make a move, and in order to fight against Zheng Xiu, we need more soldiers, and I am bound to win these five thousand infantry of Wei Qing." ”
Xia Xue sighed lightly and nodded: "You are right, Xia Yu." ”
Xia Yu stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Xia Xue's shoulder: "Don't worry, Xia Xue." In addition, after tonight, we need to disrupt Wei Qing's soldiers and organize them into our troops, so I will leave this matter to you. ”
Xia Xue: "No problem. By the way, I heard that you sent Lu Zheng to Qingyan City?"
"Well, after solving Wei Qing, it's Zheng Xiu's turn. In order to alleviate Zheng Xiu's direct military pressure on us, something must happen to his back garden. Xia Yu stood up, tidied up his clothes, and in order to cope with this special dinner, he specially got a new dress. "Let's go, Xia Xue, the feast is about to begin. ”
【Xiying】
Wei Qing's troops were arranged by Xia Yu in Xiying, which was the best barracks in the entire Tongming City. At this moment, the entire Western Battalion was in a state of euphoria and relaxation, these soldiers of the Second Infantry Regiment had just escaped death and arrived in Tongming City, where there was hot food, warm beds, and beautiful women. From hell to heaven, such a huge change made them ecstatic, and what was even more exciting was that they had just learned that a grand banquet would be held in Tongming City tonight to celebrate Wei Qing's arrival in Tongming City, and they, as Wei Qing's soldiers, would also receive the most grand hospitality. After the sun set, their long-awaited "reward group" finally came.
Bai Pengfei rode a high-headed horse, followed by a convoy of fifty carriages, carrying all kinds of delicacies and wines, and walked into the camp gate of Xiying.
"Hey, old and young men of the Second Infantry Regiment, come out and see, what Lao Tzu has brought you!" Bai Pengfei's voice resounded throughout the western camp under the package of Yuan Li, and the soldiers heard his voice, and they all came out of the surrounding camp tents in anticipation and gathered around Bai Pengfei's convoy.
Bai Pengfei's gaze swept over the group of hungry soldiers, laughed a few times, and then said loudly: "Brothers, tonight, your general Wei Qing is having a feast with our general Xia Yu, we have always been hospitable in Tongming City, how can we just let the adults eat well, but ignore all the brothers who are fighting on the front line?" Bai Pengfei jumped off the horse, took a large jar of fine wine from the carriage containing wine, unsealed it, and put his nose to the mouth of the jar and inhaled it vigorously under the eyes of everyone, revealing a look of enjoyment. "Hiss~ It's really good wine!" The mellow aroma of wine wafted into the air, and the soldiers around who smelled the aroma of wine had to leave their greedy saliva one by one. As soon as Bai Pengfei saw that the heat was almost over, he raised his legs and walked up to a soldier who looked hungry for wine, and stuffed the wine jar into his arms. "Brother, what are you waiting for? ”
The soldier's eyes lit up as he held the wine jar, and he immediately raised the jar and drank it in a big gulp, and the soldiers of the Second Infantry Regiment around him immediately set off a burst of wild shouts: "A mouthful, a mouthful, a mouthful!"
The crazy atmosphere had been ignited by Bai Pengfei, he laughed, turned around and ordered: "Come on, unload all the food and wine in the car, and invite our brothers to have a good meal!"
"My lord, you don't need to do it, we'll do it ourselves. Brothers, it's time to eat!" an officer shouted, and the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment immediately rushed up with a cheer and pounced on the food and wine on the convoy.
At this time, Bai Pengfei quietly left the chaotic crowd, and a disciple of the Bai family came to him and whispered, "Young master, when will we start?"
Bai Pengfei smiled: "Don't worry, let this group of guys have a good drink first." (To be continued......)
