After Prime Minister Miao Wen defeated the king of the scholar country again in the river valley, now the valley city is still occupied by the main army of Niu Ling led by Ye Changfei in it, Miao Wen now has the top priority to capture the valley city as soon as possible, and then go through a lot of hardships to rescue the queen mother, now the most worrying thing for Miao Cheng is that the queen mother was brought into the Linshi country by the beast king without any news, which makes Miao Wen Cheng unable to sleep every day. Therefore, she did not pursue and kill the scholar king who was defeated and fled to Yunmeng Mountain, because she was worried that once his main army went out of the river valley, Ye Changfei would lead the army of Gu Cheng to make trouble in the river valley again, causing him to be unable to take care of the beginning and the end, and forming a bad situation. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Prime Minister Miao Cheng decided to take advantage of the situation to obtain Gucheng, and then advance into Niu Ling Kingdom, completely defeat the scholar king and the beast king, and find the queen mother.

After Xia Yu, who broke through the capital of Niu Lingguo, got the news that Prime Minister Miao Cheng had defeated the scholar king in the river valley, he was afraid that the scholar king who had returned to China would come to seize his capital, after all, the army he led was weak and could not carry out a fierce battle. After receiving Xia Yu's letter, Prime Minister Miao Cheng knew that the arrangement of the single army that he had planned in advance to advance into Niu Ling Country had now played a big role, and Prime Minister Miao Cheng felt that this was an excellent foundation for advancing into the hinterland of Niu Ling Country and then rescuing the Queen Mother. Prime Minister Miao Cheng knew that after the defeat of the army led by the scholar king in the river valley, in order to survive, they had been scattered, and the scholar king only ran into the Niu Ling country with a few retinues, and Miao Cheng only knew now that the scholar king was homeless after the defeat, and now he must be living in a certain place.

In order to consolidate Xia Yu's results, Prime Minister Miao Cheng sent Lei Hong, a capable general, to lead an army to enter Niu Ling Country in advance, and work with Xia Yu to defend the captured capital of Niu Ling Kingdom. After conquering the valley city by himself, he will march forward, and then it will be easy to completely subdue the scholar king and the beast king who have been making trouble in the river valley for a long time.

After Ye Changfei took Hongyang Lao Dao, who was seriously injured by the old abbot, into Gucheng, seeing such a fiasco in the river valley this time, he was already the master of the six gods, Lao Dao may have expected that there would be variables before the decisive battle, and he was not sure that he was completely sure to defeat Miao Wen, so he ordered the scholar king to retreat the main army into Gucheng in advance. Now the main force of the entire kingdom is here, and if it can't be preserved, then the whole army will be wiped out, and the main force will be gone. Ye Changfei knew that according to the current situation, it was basically impossible for him to defeat Miao Wen in Gucheng and save the main army trapped in Gucheng. Yi Fei, who had retreated from the river valley and entered the valley city first, told Ye Changfei that there was really no way, so there was only self-protection, and the couple rushed out with their own skills to avoid suffering accidents after the defeat. Ye Changfei didn't nod in agreement, he hugged his beloved wife very gently, saying that he would not accept his wife's point of view.

Prime Minister Miao Cheng led the army to now surround Gucheng, Prime Minister Miao Cheng knew that Gucheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now he had to besiege Gucheng first, block the possibility of the enemy army breaking through and evacuating, and then find a way to break through the city gate, enter Gucheng, and eliminate the enemy army in the city in one fell swoop. The gate of Gucheng is very solid, it is basically impossible to break through with ordinary methods, General Guan Xiong, the veteran general of Gucheng's defense, is very clear about the situation in Gucheng, he suggested to Prime Minister Miao Wen, it is really not possible, so it is surrounded by groups, the enemy army is short of food and grass in Gucheng, and it will naturally rout, open the door and surrender. Prime Minister Miao Cheng has been on the battlefield for a long time, is proficient in the development and changes of warfare, and knows the temperament and ability that a general with troops should have. Because there is a saying that "if you want to hurry, you can't reach it". Therefore, before there was a feasible way, Prime Minister Miao adopted Guan Xiong's suggestion, only besieged and not attacked, and then let him break himself after cutting off the grain and grass.

This old thing of Hongyang Lao Dao, who did not educate his apprentices to abide by their duties, could not be ill-intentioned to get involved in the territory of other countries, but instead helped him run down the mountain to show the power of stealing other people's guqin, and was obedient to the old abbot of Cuibai Mountain, if it wasn't for the fact that Ye Changfei exerted his instinct to be quick and quick to snatch him back from the river valley, and then fled into the valley, she would have been caught by Miao Wen and died in the river valley. The old abbot's skills are indeed powerful, and after he defeated Lao Dao with a volley divine wind, he rewarded him with a palm, which has made Hongyang Lao Dao deeply injured and dying. After this old Taoist entered Gucheng, Ye Changfei put him on the soft bed, he curled up, gasping for breath, his chest kept rising and falling, as if his life was hanging by a thread. Ye Chang Fei called the military doctor to treat him, and the military doctor took his pulse, shook his head, and told Ye Chang Fei that the old guy was very badly injured, and there was no need for medical treatment, and he should prepare for the future as soon as possible. After the military doctor's diagnosis, before he walked out of the door, Lao Dao vomited another mouthful of blood. Ye Changfei knew that the military doctor did not tell a lie, this old man was killed by his apprentice, please come down the mountain, and the time is running out to end up like this.

When Ye Chang Fei stepped out to get out of Lao Dao's ward, Lao Dao waved his weak palm and motioned for Ye Chang Fei to stay, he had something to say to him. Night Fly knows that there is a saying called; When a bird is dying, its song is also mourning, and when a person is dying, its words are also good. Ye Changfei turned around and walked back, sitting on the edge of Lao Dao's bed, staring at the weak old Dao, and listening to his teachings. I saw that the poor old man gasped with all his strength, and said to Ye Changfei; Now Niu Lingguo's situation is extremely difficult, the scholar king has no troops around him after the defeat from the river valley, in order to maintain the existence of the kingdom, it is necessary to preserve the army trapped in the valley city, if this army is eliminated, it is equivalent to Niu Lingguo has perished, there is no possibility of turning over. Therefore, all the future expectations of the kingdom are on the body of the night flyer. Lao Dao took another hard breath and continued; At present, fighting hard with the army of Miao Wen besieging in the field is equivalent to self-destruction, and the only way to preserve strength and successfully escape from danger is; After the tunnel was dug through, the soldiers were organized to secretly evacuate from the tunnel at night, so that they could get out of the siege of Miao Wen unconsciously, and the soldiers could be protected from harm and preserve their strength, so that the king would make a comeback in the future. Hongyang Lao Dao was already out of breath, panting became more and more severe, and Ye Changfei patted him on the back with his palm with a somewhat sad expression. Lao Dao lay on the bed and paused for a while, and then plucked up his strength to say to Ye Changfei; After the soldiers trapped in Valley City successfully evacuate from the tunnel, they must hide their forces, they can hide among the mountains and forests, wait until the time is right, and then help the king reverse the current decline in one fell swoop. After saying the last sentence, Hongyang Lao Dao suddenly puffed out his eyes, and then lowered his head and lost his breath.

Chang Fei found a suitable piece of land in the back mountain of Gucheng at night, and hastily buried the unfortunate death of Hongyang Lao Dao, without erecting a monument to him or writing any commemorative words. Ye Changfei was worried that once they evacuated Gucheng, the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom would enter and find the graveyard of Lao Dao, and they would dig it out and whip the corpse, leaving his soul at peace.

Hongyang Lao Dao gave Ye Chang Fei's guidance before he died, so that Ye Chang Fei saw the hope of the rebirth of the kingdom. Without further ado, Ye Chang Fei arranged for his beloved wife Yi Fei to lead the elite soldiers to guard the city wall to guard against the strong attack of Prime Minister Miao Wen in Gucheng, and on the other hand, he personally led a group of physically strong soldiers to divide into several teams to start digging tunnels from the back mountain of Gucheng at night, and in order to be discovered their intentions, Ye Changfei instructed the soldiers to pile the excavated soil in the camp tent of the military camp. The shrewd Ye Changfei knew that once Miao Wen's spies discovered the tunnel they were digging to escape, it would be useless, counterproductive, and there would be no way back.

The hard work paid off, and the soldiers and generals of Niu Lingguo, who were trapped in Gucheng, saw the hope of life, and dug the passage to escape very hard, and within a few days, they dug the passage from Gucheng to the back of the mountain. In order to prevent long nights and dreams, on the night when the tunnel was accessible, Ye Changfei organized the soldiers trapped in Gucheng to enter the tunnel in an orderly manner and began to evacuate. The dark night cooperated with their silent evacuation, and the soldiers of the Cuizhu Kingdom guarding outside the city were unaware. Before dawn, all the soldiers trapped in Valley City were evacuated. Ye Changfei and Yifei led the successfully evacuated generals, from the back of the mountain behind the valley city to cover the dense mountain forest, quietly entered a ravine, and then quietly bypassed several ravines, stationed the army in a very hidden jungle. The slopes on both sides of this jungle are covered with pear trees, and it is the height of summer, and the pear trees are full of ripe fruit, and Chang Fei led the army to flee without carrying any grain and grass, and this mountain of fruit is just enough for them to sustain their livelihood.

At dawn on the second day of the night when he fled, Prime Minister Miao, who got up very early, found that there was no trace of Niu Ling's national soldiers on the city wall of Gucheng. Suddenly felt bad, immediately called the soldiers to move the ladder, a few brave soldiers climbed the ladder, without any obstruction into the valley city, and then opened the solid gate of the valley city, the soldiers of the Cuizhu country besieged outside poured into the valley city, and found that the valley city was already an empty city, and the enemy troops who were stationed here before had all disappeared, and finally found the tunnel leading to the back of the back mountain, Miao Cheng knew that Ye Chang Fei had led the enemy army to evacuate secretly. Prime Minister Miao sighed and said; This miscalculation will inevitably lead to trouble in the future. Then he ordered the generals to settle down in the valley city and prepare for the next step.
