Shun Yin looked at the approaching team of soldiers and horses, and the sound of the cavalry's hooves became clearer and clearer, and he twisted his eyebrows and said: "I am only in front of the formation, and I will be within your range, if he does not want to talk, I will immediately return behind you." ”

Mu Changzhou frowned and stared, silent.

Shun Yin had already seen the figure of Linghu Tuo in the distance, gritted his teeth, and slapped his horse out.

The arm was grabbed and beaten. She turned around, Mu Changzhou grabbed her arm with one hand, looked ahead, and pursed his lips tightly.

But soon, he let go of his hand again, opened his lips and said, "Can't go out of my range." As he spoke, he raised his longbow in his hand.

Shunyin realized that he agreed, nodded, and moved forward.

A woman's figure suddenly appeared in front of the two squares, and the advance of Ganzhou's soldiers and horses seemed to be delayed for a moment.

Shunyin calculated the distance, reined in the horse, looked out from afar, and specially removed the hood.

In the front formation, Ling Hu Tuo's figure really came out of the horse, probably recognizing her, and even waved back the left and right soldiers and came here.

The distance between the two sides was finally shortened, but they came to an eerie pause and continued to confront each other.

In the middle, two horses approached, about a foot apart, pausing opposite each other.

Linghu Tuo was covered with silver-gray iron armor, and he did not salute: "I knew that Mrs. was brave, and today is even worse, but it is a pity that I came forward for the thief." His eyes swept behind her, and he didn't even call her name anymore.

Shun Yin's voice faded unconsciously: "I only wonder if the Fox Governor is willing to sword others if he believes the rumors and waives his troops?" If you start a war, do you want to put the people of Hexi in a predicament? If you come rashly, do you not care about your own risks? ”

Ling Hu Tuo looked at her from top to bottom, but his face was much gloomy: "It's a pity, Madam is worthy of being a family, and just a few words have the effect of retreating, but it's a pity that she has to stand on the side of the thief." I know that the Feng family has some old friends with the Mu family, but the lady is afraid that she does not know the face of the person next to her pillow, so it is better not to be deceived by him. ”

Shun Yin looked at the shape of his mouth, and felt that he seemed to be persuading himself, and subconsciously glanced back, knowing that Mu Changzhou was looking at this at the moment, and his face became cold: "How can Governor Linghu think that what he learned from the Governor's Mansion is his true face?" ”

Linghu Tuo snorted coldly: "It is enough to rely on the fact that I am the old department of Hexi, the old general promoted by the Duke of Wuwei County." ”

Shun Yin was stunned, and surprise flashed in his heart.

Linghu Tuo had already pulled the horse back, patted the horse, galloped away, raised one arm and swung it down.

In an instant, the soldiers and horses of Ganzhou in front of him accelerated.

A burst of fast horses galloped to the rear, and Liangzhou soldiers and horses poured on both sides, blocking Shunyin behind and catching up with him.

Persuasion failed, and the confrontation had arrived. Shun Yin frowned, and immediately pulled the horse back, and there were noises in his ears, all of which were soldiers and horses blocking layer by layer.

Until he retreated to the interception line, the black and bright tall horse in front of him came out, Mu Changzhou had blocked the line, the longbow in his hand was clenched, the arrow was pinched in one hand, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Attack its flank, dismantle its formation." ”

Hu Xiao'er waited until this moment, and finally waited for the opportunity, and immediately took the lead in rushing.

Shunyin watched the Liangzhou soldiers and horses rush forward, and cut the right flank of the Ganzhou soldiers and horses.

In the Ganzhou array, the banner waved, the soldiers and horses converged, and went to the left. Linghu Tuo was in front, and the figure of the silver-gray iron armor galloped in a flash, leading the retreat, retreating to the side of the mountain.

The two parties were entangled for only a moment, but they came to an abrupt end.

"Commander!" Hu Xiao'er hit the horse and rushed back, panting angrily, "What do you mean by this kid?" Suddenly approached, and suddenly retreated! ”

Mu Changzhou said coldly: "First strike to test, and then deliberately delay." He lifted his eyes to look at the sinking sky, and listened intently to the wind, "The longer it is delayed, the greater the momentum will be, and the banner of rebellion can be spread, and it is best to attract other states to join in." Otherwise, with the power of his state, he won't be able to defeat me. ”

Hu Xiao'er was annoyed and said ruthlessly: "Don't let me catch him!" ”

Mu Changzhou suddenly turned his head to look at Shunyin, his face was calm, and the hand holding the bow seemed to be loosened at this time, and he turned his head and rode forward to give an order.

Shunyin sat on the horse, still with the unending neighing of horses and the sound of the wind in her ears, watching him go away, in front of her were soldiers who came to ask her to retreat, so she could only retreat back and go to the back of the ridge.

The soldiers and horses were redistributed, and one column after another was deployed along the mountains, and now it has become the imminent trend of Liangzhou soldiers and horses.

The sky was always overcast, the wind was unstoppable, and the light was dimmed until the surrounding mountains became a rolling ink shadow.

Shunyin sat behind the leeward slope, only a soldier holding a torch nearby shone a little light, just swallowed a piece of camel jerky military rations, and walked lightly in front of a few people.

She knew it was a scout and turned her head.

There was a sound of footsteps from the side, and Mu Changzhou arranged it at this time, and finally strode back, his figure was draped in the dark sky, and he was outlined more and more upright.

Until she was in front of her, he stopped and whispered, "Report it immediately, only say that it is important." ”

The scout approached the one in front of him and said a few words quickly.

Mu Changzhou waved his hand to send them back, turned his head and ordered: "Prepare for a surprise attack immediately." ”

Shun Yin got up with it, and was not surprised that she had already heard the words of the scout just now.

There are traces of forage feeding among the mountains where the scout reported that Hu Tuo had retreated. He came from Ganzhou, and the supply of grain and grass was far less than that of Liangzhou, and he had to delay the momentum, which would only save grain and grass.

Mu Changzhou wants to make a quick decision, so he naturally has to attack first.

Hu Xiao'er rose from the ground from the other end, took the lead in rushing, and deliberately suppressed the movement: "That kid will definitely send scouts too, hurry up, be quiet!" ”

Mu Changzhou walked out, led the horse over with one hand, pulled Shun Yin with the other, and whispered: "You are familiar with the terrain here, wait for me on the right side of the sharp stone slope." ”

Shunyin asked, "What about you?" ”

Mu Changzhou said: "He has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, so I naturally want to cut off his head and tail first and lead him out." ”

Shunyin understood: "You want to capture him alive?" ”

He sneered: "I really want to kill him, he doesn't know how many times he has died." ”

Shun Yin paused, remembering Ling Hu Tuo's words: "Is he really the old general of the old department of Hexi, the county prince?" ”

Mu Changzhou seemed to be silent for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Shun Yin wanted to ask why they were like this, but he had already stuffed the reins in his hand.

He put his palm on her waist and was about to send her on the horse: "Let's go now." The other half was not said.

Shun Yin grabbed the reins, stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse, and when he looked over, he had already walked away, quickly gave a few orders, and went to the side to turn over his horse.

The archers immediately mounted their horses and came over, surrounded by dozens of soldiers.

Mu Changzhou turned his head and said to her, "One or two hours at most." ”

Shunyin made up his mind, turned around and rode his horse, leading the people to the right.

Soon a faint sound was heard, and he should have acted immediately.

The sharp stone slope on the right is not far away, Shunyin has a good memory, the terrain is familiar, and he still walks smoothly in the dark, and he arrives at the place in about two minutes.

Disembarking from her horse, she looked around, motioned for the bow guards to separate and hide the guards, and climbed up the slope on foot to see what was happening in the distance.

The mountain where Linghu Tuo retreated was far away, and occasionally a slight fire flashed, and he couldn't tell which side it was, and he couldn't hear the sound.

Gradually, there was more firelight, but the speed was much faster, and it suddenly spread out horizontally, and it was horizontally inserted between the mountains and valleys.

Shun Yin squinted and looked closely, it was always difficult to see the whole thing, but he guessed that it should be Mu Changzhou's soldiers and horses, and he was deliberately breaking up Ling Hu Tuo's formation team.

The fire was so far away that it didn't even feel like it was fighting.

She looked at it for a long time, trying to judge the situation.

Since Linghu Tuo was the old department of Hexi, and the Duke of Wuwei County was brought up, wouldn't he have already been figured out by Mu Changzhou, and his combat habits were only expected by him. Mu Changzhou turned to martial arts with literature, and he didn't know how much Ling Hu Tuo knew about him in the past few years, not to mention that he was used to being cunning......

As soon as his thoughts stopped, Shun Yin suddenly felt that something was wrong, Ling Hu Tuo's previous blow had already detected Mu Changzhou's desire to fight quickly, since he was attacked by Mu Changzhou at this time, he would definitely continue to avoid it for delay, where could he be easily led out, unless......

She thought about the banner of "destroying Mu thief", unless he wanted to kill Mu Changzhou with his own hands.

The firelight seemed to be much brighter, and Shunyin raised his eyes to see that the firelight was much closer, and there was a line of firelight approaching.

There were no stars and no moon in the sky, but the night was darker, and with the sound of horses' hooves gradually becoming clearer, a group of people and horses galloped quickly along the valley.

Shun Yin dodged sideways, and then saw the figure of Mu Changzhou coming on horseback, leading two or three firefighters and horses, and immediately relaxed his heart, stood up straight, and saw the figure following behind him.

It was Linghu Tuo, who led people to follow behind, and he was really lured out.

However, as soon as he caught up, Linghu Tuo turned back abruptly and retreated straight to the side of the valley.

Mu Changzhou pulled the horse downhill, glanced upward, seemed to see Shunyin, and turned his head to look at the valley.

Shun Yin raised his eyes and looked, across a ravine, the opposite side of the fire flashed, Ling Hu Tuo appeared from the opposite slope, and his voice was neither high nor low and sent with the wind: "I came to ask for the thief, it is justified." ”

Mu Changzhou sat on the horse and lifted his eyes: "Empty words are unfounded, but they are also worthy of righteousness?" ”

Linghu Tuo's eyes were cold under the firelight: "Others may be unbelievable, but you are different, isn't it you Mu Changzhou who caused the situation in Hexi and the Central Plains today?" It was you who made Hexi step by step become the isolation from the Central Plains today, it is difficult for officials to enter, and letters are difficult to pass. ”

Shun Yin suddenly turned his head to look down the slope.

Mu Changzhou straightened his shoulders and didn't move: "The Governor's Mansion moved you based on this?" ”

Ling Hu Tuo took out something from his bosom with one hand and raised it high: "How about the Wuwei County Mansion?" ”

Shun Yin suddenly saw that Mu Changzhou's figure was motionless, but the hand holding the bow seemed to be clenched suddenly.

In the dim firelight, Linghu Tuo raised his hand, and the thing immediately unfolded, a piece of silk cloth, with dense handwriting on it, and his face was already full of hatred: "You will not forget what this is, your guilt!" ”

Shun Yin's heart was shocked, thinking that he had heard it wrong, his eyes were fixed, and he stared at his mouth shape tightly.

The night wind sent Linghu Tuo's voice was extremely clear: "Calling you a thief is simply defiling the word Mu!" He said almost word for word, "I thought you were just a shameless person, living and greedy for power, and everyone will be punished!" But it turns out that you are more than that, you are still a beast who kills your father and brother! For so many years, no one in the county government has mentioned it, and you, a prisoner of slaughtering relatives, can also change your hands into power! ”

Shun Yin was stunned on the spot, forgot his words, almost couldn't believe his eyes and ears, and turned his gaze to Mu Changzhou at the bottom of the slope.

In his right ear, he seemed to be able to hear Linghu Tuo's resentful voice: "A man without a father and a king, think that I am rebelling for the governor's mansion?" I'm going to get rid of you for the county's government! ”

Mu Changzhou held the bow tightly in his hand, half of his body sank into the dark night, he couldn't see his expression, and even the people and horses seemed to be in a state of flux.

The night wind seemed to turn sharply and whistled, almost extinguishing the torches on the opposite side.

In the distance, soldiers and horses were coming, and Hu Xiao'er's voice was heard from far and near.

Mu Changzhou's calm and motionless figure raised his hand.

Soldiers and horses arrived, lined up on both sides.

As soon as the silk cloth in Linghu Tuo's hand was collected, he turned around and retreated.

The archers and soldiers hiding nearby also appeared in an instant, surrounding the slope.

Mu Changzhou didn't look back, stared at the opposite slope, and said coldly like the night wind: "Protect Madame, the rest of the people will follow my plan and take him down." ”

Shun Yin looked at him, and unconsciously followed a few steps down, he had led his troops and horses into the long night, and drove straight away.

Chapter Seventy-Eight

The night was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, and a few clusters of firelight disappeared with the sound of hooves, completely disappearing from my eyes.

Only the wind still doesn't stop.
