Sedum was originally reluctant to go to Dingnanguan, but now he has to go!

Dingnan City is finally relieved now, with the help of Lord Shi Mingqu, there is nothing wrong with this city at all, even Bai Jianzhou feels that Shi Mingqu's ability is very strong! Dingnan City is handed over to this county guard, he is very relieved.

As a matter of fact, as far as the common people and officers and soldiers in the city are concerned, as long as there is no major chaos, they will be very satisfied; Dingnan City has developed commerce, complete entertainment facilities, and low government taxes! It is very comfortable to do business and live a life, who wants to toss?

Even after seeing a large number of prisoners of the Shence Army before, which caused a burst of panic and heated discussions, the people forgot about it within a few days, and it was not as enjoyable as the sensation caused by Yue Xiu, a dancer from Dongzhou.

In the past few days, in the tea shops and restaurants in the streets and alleys, the focus of discussion is this Dongzhou dancer with only one fist in the willow waist, and it is rumored that this dancer really has a shy-like appearance and amazing dancing skills! There is no man who has seen her who is not fascinated.

When Guan Shanhai reported the news to Sedum, his little eyes were shining, which made Sedum itch in his heart, and he also wanted to witness this woman's demeanor.

But he can no longer sleep in the willows as before, and the life of spending time and drinking seems to be insulated from himself from now on.

He was so busy that he couldn't even spare time to run a few more times in the small building of Nanpingshan, and Yuan Qingshan was even unwilling to bring his female disciples to live in the Dingnan Palace, preferring to stay in the small building.

Sedum wanted to say a few words to Sima Nianci several times, but found that this princess was really obsessed with cultivating immortals now, and her mind was all on cultivation!

He was also very helpless, and said in his heart that maybe this would be a good result.

In charge of a big city, it is still a metropolis with a population of one million, no matter how big or small, Sedum has become very busy, but now Shi Mingqu is willing to take over the past!

In fact, from the perspective of Shi Ming's channel, Sedum also understands his situation, as long as he is not involved in rebellion, he is still a courtier of the Great Jin, and with his talent, he can afford to be a good minister who governs the world.

But in the affairs of the king of Dingnan, the biggest piece is also involved, that is, military affairs, and the biggest piece of military affairs at present is the threat faced by the city defenders of Dingnan Pass, which is opposite hundreds of thousands of Southern Tang troops.

So Sedum had to go to Dingnan Pass, counting on Xu Fengchun and Hu Dingguo to come to Dingnan City, don't think about it, those two military leaders, Hong Zhao may not be able to move.

If the threat of the Southern Tang army is not lifted, Dingnan City will not be stable, and Hongzhao, the king of Dingnan, will also be very dangerous in Shendu, which Sedum knows very well.

When Hong Zhao was there, the Southern Tang army had already arrived at Dingnan Pass, but it did not attack, Hong Zhao was even more reluctant to take the initiative to fight, and even the Shendu Imperial Court asked him to take the initiative several times, but he refused.

Others will speculate that Hong Zhao thinks of the incense and is unwilling to start a war with the Southern Tang of his parents' state, but in fact, Hong Zhao is unwilling to fall into the trap, once he starts a war with the Southern Tang, the great masters of the Shendu will do it.

Hong Zhao knew very well what the great master wanted, and he didn't care, but he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Dingnan's army, as well as millions of people in Dingnan City, but he had to care, and there were many things that King Dingnan had to be cautious about.

The sound of the horse's cry sounded, and Sedum sat on the horse and wondered what he was thinking? Looking at the large group of people behind him, gilded red under the morning sun, he had a little bit of a heroic taste for no reason.

The rise of the qi veins drives the breath replenishment of the ground, there is a slight wind blowing, and the early morning wind is refreshing!

The horse team has more than 10,000 flying cavalry troops to follow, this is the troops brought over to supplement the Dingnan Pass garrison, Sedum means to bring some of the captured Shence troops over, let them see what the real enemy army is!

But Bai Jianzhou disagreed, these prisoners had just been surrendered, and they were not stable at present, and taking them to Dingnan Pass would distract General Xu Fengchun's military heart.

But he assigned more than 10,000 flying cavalry troops for Sedum to take to Dingnan Pass, and also replenished the defenders of Dingnan Pass!

It was not far from Dingnan Pass, and the gloomy dark mountain cliff came into view again, and a fierce aura came towards him! The changes in the qi veins had already made Sedum feel uncomfortable involuntarily.

In the distance, there was a group of people on top of the checkpoint in front of him, which was the Dingnan Pass garrison army who came to greet Sedum, and this time it was Hu Dingguo, the deputy marshal of the garrison, who came to greet him.

Hu Dingguo's face is very thin, his beard is unkempt under his chin, and his eyes are full of light, and his cultivation is very high at a glance! According to others, this person should have been a great immortal general a long time ago, but in fact Hu Dingguo was not a great immortal general.

But this person's cultivation method is special, and his strength is not below the Great Immortal General at all, from those notes of Han Bobo, there was a record of Hu Dingguo's feat back then!

It was still in the Battle of Xiliang, Hu Dingguo led his troops to block the enemy, he guarded the mountain alone, more than 1,000 soldiers under his subordinates died, he alone blocked the attack of more than 10,000 people in Xiliang, his body fell into the mountains and rocks, with the help of the power of the mountain, killed thousands of enemies!

After the war, this person's body was almost petrified, and it took ten years of recuperation to recover! His unique earth-attribute exercises were appalling! He was able to use the power of the earth, mountains, and rocks! On top of the battle array, it was simply an unshakable fortress!

The great wizard and countless sacrifices were powerless against the Hongzhao Divine Guard, and the great wizard vomited blood and died, also because of that battle of Caishan.

Hu Dingguo's great name was naturally famous in the Shenwei Army and later in the Dingnan Army! When Sedum saw him, he immediately put on a modest attitude and stepped forward to salute early.

"General Hu, I'm really flattered that you came from afar to greet you!"

Sedum's attitude made Hu Dingguo very comfortable, and he returned the salute with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince is too modest, Hu is just a martial artist, I can't bear to exalt me like this! I heard that His Royal Highness joined forces with Bai Jianzhou and defeated the 100,000 Shence army of the imperial court! That is really a tiger father without a dog, and the prince has a son like you, which is really a blessing for his old man." ”

"That's all the credit of Vice Marshal Bai, I just followed to watch the fun! General Hu is really overrated!" Sedum said haha.

"I'll just say that the Shence Army of the imperial court is all straw bales, and compared to our Shenwei Army, it is a local chicken and a dog, many people are still not convinced, and now it seems that the old man has me right, haha!" Hu Dingguo laughed.

The two went to Dingnan Pass hand in hand to meet the general Xu Fengchun, and Sedum knew that the military camp of the defending army was not under the cliff at all, where was it just the camp tent of the auxiliary army, the camp of grain, grass, horses and even sundries, and the real military camp was actually on the cliff.

The operation of the Dingnan Army for many years has already been carved on the cliff next to the military facilities, all kinds of culvert plank roads are countless, the road opened up on the cliff, can run three horses side by side, it can be seen that the project is huge.

General Xu Fengchun is slightly fat, but he is very burly, the cultivation of the great immortal general makes it always have a smell of dust, Danfeng's eyes are slightly closed, and the essence of light occasionally disperses, and the momentum of the whole body is very powerful.

In the past few years, Xu Fengchun has become a mystery in his cultivation, and he has spent a lot of resources, and Hong Zhao's side has made his cultivation higher and higher.

Xu Fengchun dared to put down military affairs and concentrate on cultivation, naturally Dingnan Pass had long been operated by him, and it was very tightly guarded, so he was naturally safe from it.

He and Hu Dingguo are both old men of the Divine Guard, and they can be regarded as Hong Zhao's right-hand man, and they are bigwig-level existences in the entire military, and Sedum naturally dare not slack off.

I don't want Xu Fengchun to be very kind to him, if there are people in the Dingnan Army who have any complaints about this son, Xu Fengchun treats Sedum as his own son and nephew.

Occasionally, some scolding words came out, and it was also the kind of person who hated the child but did not make steel, Hong Zhao naturally didn't care, Sedum knew that his reputation was not good before, and Xu Fengchun should scold himself.

At this meeting, Sedum could sense the respect that these two old soldiers had for her, and she was indeed flattered at first, but then he understood that he had won the power of the Tiger Fu Army of the Dingnan Army and defeated the 100,000 Shence Army!

This is also the reason why the two veterans are impressed with each other and show respect.

After greeting each other, Sedum put down the teacup and naturally asked about the situation of the Southern Tang army outside the Guan.

Xu Fengchun and Hu Dingguo both frowned, and then explained to him the current military situation, which was very puzzling.

The army of several hundred thousand men and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty was divided into two parts, one part of which went out to 20 miles outside Dingnan Pass as a large camp! While the other part was still at Surabaya Pass, but the two parts were already connected in the middle.

The theory is that the front line and the rear have basically formed a continuous military post station, in which the grain, grass and military resources are constantly transmitted!

According to the news brought back by the scouts and scouts, the camp of the Southern Tang army was very tightly guarded, but there were loud noises from time to time inside, and there was even the roar of wild beasts! I don't know what the situation was inside the camp.

They had been preparing for this kind of battle for several months, but they had never started to attack! The previous few team explorations were also after bypassing the Xuefeng Plateau and sneaking into the Dingnan Pass of the Great Jin, but these people were basically wiped out.

If the hundreds of thousands of troops do not move, what are they waiting for? Is it just pressure? If it is pressure, then the Southern Tang side should put forward conditions and demands, and only when they are not satisfied will they make such an act.

But so far, the other party has not put forward any requirements and conditions at all, just a simple Chen Bing Pass, what is this trying to do?

Even the Dingnanguan side sent someone to officially submit the note, but the other party did not reply, and the people from Dingnanguan were just driven back!

This is the most incomprehensible part, the soldiers are a big thing, it is impossible for the Southern Tang Dynasty to use so many soldiers and horses outside the Chen Pass without any attempt, so what are their intentions?

Xu Fengchun and Hu Dingguo couldn't understand this, and Sedum felt very strange at first glance, but then he analyzed:

"So, it seems like what are they waiting for?
