！！！

The exclamation could not be suppressed, and it almost broke through the roof.

This time it was not the panic of fear, but the surprise of joy.

"Is that true?"

Su Shidao was quite anxious, and his seat happened to be next to the sergeant who reported the news, and he asked directly.

The sergeant nodded again and again, and then looked at Concubine De, "It's true, General Jin and Captain Li have both withdrawn to the city. In order to prevent accidents, General Jin stayed at the head of the city and specially ordered a small one to come and spread the word. ”

Concubine De nodded slowly, and said softly: "Do you have any casualties?" Seriously? ”

The sergeant's heart warmed, but he didn't expect Concubine De Niangniang to know that she was worried about their safety, "Back to Niangniang's words, because it was a horse on the opposite foot, and it was a surprise attack at night, only four brothers in our army unfortunately sacrificed their lives for the country, and the rest were fine." ”

There was a loud cheer in the hall, two hundred broke a thousand, and only four died, this is a complete victory!

Concubine De also nodded approvingly, "Please ask General Jin to pay for him according to the practice in the army, and there will be a reward from the palace later." Xiuyun, give this strong man a bowl of wine! ”

When the sergeant excitedly drank a bowl of wine, Concubine De smiled with relief, "It's hard work, let's go down and rest." ”

When the sergeant left, the atmosphere in the field was like the sky breaking through the clouds, the gloom was gone, and the laughter and laughter came from the bottom of my heart and filled the hall.

Under the leadership of Wei Yuanzhi, everyone got up in unison and toasted to Concubine De respectfully and convincingly, "Niangniang Shengming!" ”

Concubine De smiled faintly, "All the princes who rely on work together and drink together!" ”

Look at this bearing, look at this posture, do not panic in distress, do not be arrogant in victory, how calm, how elegant!

This determination, this courage, is simply embarrassing for these men who pride themselves on being extraordinary on weekdays!

She is worthy of being entrusted with such a heavy task by His Majesty and the center!

Everyone was deeply impressed, and said in unison: "Xie Niangniang." ”

After drinking a glass of wine, Concubine De left the table.

When she reached the room where no one was around, she suddenly turned around and hugged Feng Xiuyun beside her.

The body is trembling, excited, sobbing lowly, releasing the fear, worry, and panic in his heart.

She is a carefree woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has been pampered for a long time, how can she not be nervous, how can she not panic!

That's a rebel, one wrong step is an eternal stain on her life.

Her ambitions and future will be shattered by the rebels' guns.

Her identity and aura will become the most tempting prey scent in the eyes of the wolf-like rebels.

Even if her innocence is preserved, even if she is free again, what she has now will be a thing of the past.

What's more, the task of dividing the troops is still her final decision.

One can imagine how heavy the pressure is hidden in her delicate body.

But she couldn't show the slightest bit, so she could only endure and build a dam with her mind to stop the surging flow of emotions.

At this moment, the big picture has been decided, the levee has collapsed, and the tide of emotions has completely drowned it.

A tear dropped, pouring out all the emotions in her heart, Concubine De slowly collected her mind, looked at Feng Xiuyun's face that was not too inferior to herself, and said softly: "You really found a good man!" ”

Feng Xiuyun's heart was shocked, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

subconsciously thought of a sentence [Niangniang, you can also have such a good Langjun], and immediately reacted, this is not a big disrespectful crime.

hurriedly said: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is unparalleled, between Gao Yang and Your Majesty, it is like a firefly and Haoyue, a thousand miles apart." ”

Concubine De glanced at her resentfully, slowly let go of her hand, and calmed down, as if what she said just now had not happened, "Take a break, and follow me to the city wall to work for a while." ”

Feng Xiuyun's eyes widened.

Concubine De glanced at him, "Don't you want to see a man?" ”

Feng Xiuyun blushed instantly.

Concubine De snorted and slowly walked back to the hall.

——

After Concubine De returned to the main hall and proposed the idea of going to the city wall to work for the army, she won everyone's approval.

No one will refuse to show the magnanimity and courtesy of the superior to the sergeants who have survived the blood and fire after the victory of the Great War.

The door of the main hall opened, and a procession led by Concubine De Niangniang rushed out and walked towards the city wall.

The low city wall, after standing on the Wudang Army hundred battle sergeants, instantly became tall and stable, just like the towering city wall of Zhongjing City, which can bring people steadiness and calmness.

For the first time, the humble castle tower ushered in such a high-standard sightseeing group.

"The last will see Niangniang!"

"General Kim, please get up!"

Concubine De stepped forward, picked up Jin Jiancheng with her own hands, and then said with satisfaction and relief: "General Jin, thanks to your merits, we are all spared, you should wait for me!" ”

As he spoke, he was going to take the lead in leading the crowd to bow deeply to him.

Jin Jiancheng stepped forward and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, this credit is not the work of the last general, but it depends on the efforts of the Wudang army to fight to the death, so as to achieve this result." If it is not about the first merit, you should take Brother Ling as the first! ”

Xia Jingyun stood aside, he didn't expect Jin Jiancheng to be so kind, and he could still have his business!

And the ministers and gentry who were standing behind Concubine De, after hearing Jin Jiancheng's words, their hearts suddenly rose.

Who said that a soldier has no heart?

There aren't many of them!

At such a moment, I still remember to push out Concubine De's righteous brother and sell a big favor, this is not called the heart eye, then what is the heart eye!

Concubine De frowned slightly, "What credit does he have?" But a weak scholar, pulling a bow and dancing a knife, which one can he do? ”

Jin Jiancheng was stunned, don't you know what credit he has?

Immediately facing Concubine Shangde's eyes that could seduce the soul without deliberateness, he instantly understood after a trance, and said loudly: "Niangniang, please let the end be detailed!" ”

"This time to defend the city, we only have four hundred defenders, and the matter is hasty, completely defenseless, thanks to Xia Gongzi saw the opportunity quickly, anticipating the enemy first, let me wait for a little opportunity to prepare, otherwise tonight the rebels suddenly attacked the city, I'm afraid I won't have time to send an arrow and an arrow, and the whole city will fall!"

"Xia Gongzi has outstanding knowledge, peeked at the whole picture from the details, saw through the tricks of the rebels to cooperate with the outside, and successfully intercepted the conspiracy of Zou Jirong, the lieutenant of Jiang'an County, to secretly open the city gate, to prevent the rebels from entering the city directly, and to win the opportunity to defend the city for us."

Then, Xia Gongzi even consulted with the last general, and tried his best to override the public opinion, so that his brother disguised himself as the prince in the city, led the horses out of the city, and pretended to be an ambush behind the enemy, bluffing. Then I led a hundred cavalry and attacked from both sides, so that I could win a big victory tonight! ”

"Therefore, the first merit of this battle should be attributed to Xia Gongzi, not the flattery of the last general, but the meaning of the name!"

Jin Jiancheng's words echoed in the small city tower, making everyone who followed Concubine De Niangniang stunned when they heard it.

How can it be said like the real thing?

Can this Xia Jingyun really have such a skill?

But people who think they are smart are still doubting, and really smart people have already started touting directly.

"Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, Xia Gongzi is not only amazing in literature, but also has such a martial strategy, both civil and military, which is rare in the world!"

"I thought that it was great enough for Xia Gongzi to have a hand-me-down poem, but I didn't expect to have such a unique view on the war, even if His Majesty saw it, I'm afraid I have to ask, who is this son-in-law, ashamed of the prince of the Manchu Dynasty!"

"Old lady, Mr. Xia is your apprentice, and if you have this apprentice, you will be famous in history and looked up to by future generations!"

Everyone opened their mouths to boast, and the admiration and flattery in those words made Xia Jingyun, a cheeky person, a little embarrassed.

Any businessman talks about business, and the real cheekiness is in the temple!

Wei Yuanzhi said: "This major event has arrived, the whole city is safe, and the mother who relies on it to strategize and calm the town will have the result of an orderly city; The son of Xia who relied on saw the subtleties, anticipated the enemy first, and was full of wisdom to resist the enemy outside the city wall; Sisters and brothers are concentric, both inside and outside, it is the luck of the country, it is the luck of our wait, Xie Niangniang, Xie Xia Gongzi! ”

Everyone hurriedly followed him and bowed, startling Xia Jingyun, and hurriedly glanced at his sister, but he didn't expect Concubine De to give him an encouraging look back.

"Everyone, please get up, I just did a little thing, how can I deserve such praise."

Wei Yuanzhi waved his hand and said: "Master Xia, don't be presumptuous, we have already seen it in our eyes, and your credit is worthy of my wait." ”

Then should I read two lines of poetry?

Xia Jingyun laughed dryly, and was about to speak, when the old Shangshu on the side looked at him with a look of affection, "Gao Yang, when you go to the state city to enroll in the school next, go to the old man's mansion and sit down, okay?" ”

Xia Jingyun hurriedly surrendered his hand, "I don't dare to ask for it!" But whether I can enter the state school or not is still a matter of two words, and I am afraid that I will live up to the love of Lao Shangshu. ”

"Who dare!" Lao Shangshu snorted, "The Zheng family's father and son are in rebellion, he Song Yan is no more than a lamb to be slaughtered, the old man proposes that Su Daru be appointed as Xuezheng and report to the imperial court, who agrees with you and who opposes it?" ”

"May I attach the old Shangshu Jiwei!"

Everyone agreed, and then a group of powerful people in the state stepped forward one after another, inviting Xia Jingyun to come to the mansion to talk about it, and Xia Jingyun responded one by one, decently and steadily.

Concubine De smiled, relieved and happy.

"Mr. Xia, I don't know if you have ever been married, the old man has a daughter-in-law"

Without waiting for Xia Jingyun to ask if she looked beautiful, Concubine De hurriedly stopped, "Ahem, Gao Yang was still young at the time, and he couldn't reach the first, so I'll talk about it later." ”

Everyone also reacted immediately, Xia Jingyun is so talented, Wen Taowu is strategic, and the future marriage match is probably the most critical one of Concubine De's family, how can she promise to go out so easily!

According to this development, if he can successfully get the Jinshi, he will not be a central minister or the founding prince in the future, and I am afraid that he will not dare to mention the marriage with him.

With all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, everyone returned to their residences under the instructions of Concubine De, and used the second half of the night to calm a throbbing and restless heart.

——

In the north of Jiang'an City, Zheng Tianyu held the crooked helmet on his head and pointed to the torches on the ground, "Father, look! ”

Zheng Yuanwang, who was also in an embarrassed state, looked at his hair and had messy hair, came over with the support of Tian Si and others, looked at it for a while, and was silent.

Tian Si reacted after a glance, and scolded hatefully: "Damn, it's too cunning to be an army!" Hit the trick! ”

An hour ago, an unknown number of reinforcements suddenly appeared in the rear, which made them instantly frightened, and a cavalry team suddenly rushed out of the city, and the army formation, which was already in disarray in the forward rush, quickly collapsed under the panic and the impact of cavalry.

The formation is in disarray, and the infantry is no different from a lamb to the slaughter in front of the cavalry.

They seemed to be well-armed hundreds of dead soldiers and hundreds of carefully selected bandits, and under the wielding of two unarmed cavalry swords, they turned into well-armed corpses, but they lived up to the armor that had been painstakingly smuggled out.

Zheng Yuanwang came back to his senses from the silence, "How did the defeated soldiers gather?" ”

Tian Si said with some apprehension: "There are more than 500 dead and more than 200 wounded, and there are less than 300 capable fighters left. And the workers in the camp have all broken down. ”

Zheng Tianyu pursed his lips, his father had been painstakingly lonely for many years, and he had successfully transferred thousands of troops from the garrison of the Wudang Army, and successfully stole more than 1,000 elite soldiers armed with imperial court armor into the defensive circle of the Wudang Army.

But now, Neiying has been killed, the laborers have been scattered, and the most fundamental 1,000 elite soldiers of their own side have been completely lost in the completely unexpected surprise attack of the other side, under the iron hooves of swords and guns.

The anti-flag has been raised, and the road ahead is like the night in front of you, so black that you can't see your fingers.

"Hahaha!"

In the gloomy clouds, facing such a situation, Zheng Yuanwang suddenly laughed.

Zheng Tianyu was worried about his father's mental condition, and hurriedly asked, "Why is my father laughing?" ”

Zheng Yuanwang turned his head and looked in the direction of Jiang Ancheng, "I laugh at the golden sword into a plan, Xia Jingyun is less wise, if I can come out at this moment and chase and kill with a hundred cavalry ranks, how can I rectify the opportunity of the defeated army, and there is no place to bury it!" ”

Zheng Yuanwang's voice sank, "Since they can't shrink back, let me wait for this breath, then let them see what it means to make a comeback!" ”

He said aloud: "I am to blame for today's defeat, but we are not yet at the end of the road!" ”

"Jiang'an City, there are still only those defenders! And the old man's henchman Jia Songzhi, who has exhausted more than 1,000 elites in the county, has set off from the county last night, and will come here later! ”

"The old man originally wanted them to help defend the city, but since this is the case, we will spare everything and give them another surprise!"

"Everyone, cheer up, the victory is not divided, tomorrow will be decided with my battle!"

"Yes!"

——

After waiting for everyone to leave, Xia Yunfei and Li Ruhuo, who were covered in blood, came over.

"Two sips?"

Li Ruhuo threw over a wine jug, Jin Jiancheng reached out to catch it, poured a sip, and then handed the wine jug to Xia Jingyun.

Xia Jingyun: ???

I feel like I'm very weak now, can I get some sleep first?

Also, I don't know if you've ever heard of a virus called Helicobacter pylori?

He silently brought the flask to his lips and took a sip.

？？？

This time, it was Li Ruhuo's turn and Jin Jiancheng to be puzzled, these two goods were filled with the strongest burning knives in the wine jug, and they originally planned to see Xia Jingyun's jokes, but they didn't expect Xia Jingyun to frown.

Xia Jingyun glanced at the two of them, wait for me to free my hands in the future, get some tables for you, and when you cry!

Xuan threw the wine jug to Xia Yunfei and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's hard work." ”

Xia Yunfei took it and smiled innocently.

"Hey, it's a pity, I couldn't chase after the tail, and I captured the Zheng family's father and son directly, a great achievement!"

Li Ruhuo sighed, sat on the ground, and leaned against the city wall and said regretfully.

Jin Jiancheng pursed his mouth, "Okay, Concubine De is willing to let us go out of the city to fight, all under great pressure, really when this powerful people all over the city are mud bodhisattvas without fire?" Otherwise, what do you think is the problem with us four hundred people fighting a rabble of one or two thousand? ”

Xia Jingyun also sat down tiredly, and said slowly: "Anyway, the biggest crisis at the moment has passed, wait for the people to come back, stabilize the city defense, and then slowly clear it." ”

Li Ruhuo suddenly whispered: "When I was ambushing outside, I met a person. ”

The voice gradually muffled and faded into obscurity.

After chatting for a while, the four of them sat on the ground, looking at the bright moon and stars in the sky, and the sporadic lights reflected in them in the world, smiling lazily and contentedly.

The night was dark, and the four of them retreated into the small room of the city tower, and one of them wrapped himself in a small blanket, closed his eyes and snored.

Until I don't know when, a small soldier hurriedly came running, "General! A large force was spotted emerging from the south of the city, heading around for the north! ”

And also.
