In the city of Jianzhou, there is a jubilant scene, taverns, tea shops, and bookstores, all of which are storytellers who are working hard to talk about a new book, and they are slashing the eagle at night. It is said that Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, sent people to visit the enemy camp at night, stole back the head of the dead captain He Changhu, and at the same time shaved the head of the enemy commander Huo Yunsheng, and cut off the head of the enemy eagle strike captain Qiu Zhengli.

There is no need to ask, this is Fan Chenglin's idea again, but the common people are happy to hear about these things, and soon the people of the whole city will know about it. Tang Jiusheng sent Yulong Xingkong to steal He Changhu's head back, and paid tribute in public, promising to report to the imperial court, and He Changhu was named his wife and son, in order to mourn his loyalty to the country, and then the head of the enemy military captain Qiu Zhengli toured the city.

What's even more ruthless is that Tang Jiusheng held a commendation meeting, and the more than 4,000 troops who went out of the city to fight and landed in Hou Jingxian were all tripled their salaries this month, and the grassroots officers also had their own rewards, and the meals were also added with meat, and the soldiers who died in battle were also given high pensions, and the brave soldiers were promoted and reused, and the army was immediately happy. Many people come to join the army to fight just to make ends meet, and now they have three times the salary, can they not be happy? Can soldiers who have not received benefits not be greedy?

Many soldiers are looking forward to the next time the king of Wei can take them, the mood of fear will be contagious, the mood of fighting bravely with the enemy will also be contagious, the city of Jianzhou, which was still panicked yesterday, suddenly settled down, and people regained confidence in King Wei and the imperial court. Coupled with Lu Fangping and Cheng Zifei's assistance in training, the atmosphere of surrendering troops and generals in the city has taken on a new look.

Xiahou Lingyu secretly asked Tang Jiusheng, "Brother Tang, why don't you let Brother Yulong cut off Huo Yunsheng's head?" That would not only relieve anger and be enjoyable, but also make the soldiers and generals outside the city leaderless, and boost morale, so why not do it?"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You little girl only knows one thing, but you don't know the other. Lin Beihe is Niu Mandi's brother-in-law, Niu Mandi originally handed him over to Huo Yunsheng, so that Huo Yunsheng could take him well and be able to make war exploits on the battlefield, but Lin Beihe died in front of the battle, do you say Niu Mandi and his wife can hate Huo Yunsheng? It's just that Huo Yunsheng is now leading the troops, and Niu Mandi can't do it directly. But the hearts of the two people are wary of each other. Let's keep Huo Yunsheng and pour some oil on it while it's chaotic, they will eat dog sooner or later, why not?"

Xiahou Lingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Tang Jiusheng say this: "Brother Tang, you are really bad!"

Tang Jiusheng said with a wicked smile: "Do you think, since Yulong Xingkong can shave his head, he can naturally take off his head, can he not be afraid? Besides, there is a captain who was beheaded in his sleep, aren't his subordinates afraid of death? Let's not beat him or scold him, but he, Huo Yunsheng, is afraid that the cattle will make him all over the ground, and he is afraid that we will get him, and when he is cornered, what should he do? Maybe we can still surrender without a fight!"

Since Yulong Xingkong visited the military camp at night and cut off Qiu Zhengli's head, Huo Yunsheng's life outside the city has become sad, and the captains and soldiers under him have reached the point where the wind is loud and the grass and trees are all soldiers, for fear that they will move when they are asleep. Therefore, many soldiers have to wear iron neck sleeves when they sleep at night.

Huo Yunsheng's teeth itched, but he was afraid in his heart, so he had to strengthen his defense, although he knew that this level of defense was useless in front of the master, but he could also have some psychological comfort.

After Niu Mandi sent Huo Yunsheng to lead more than 10,000 soldiers to trap Jianzhou, his heart was not steady. He sent his brother-in-law Lin Beihe to follow Huo Yunsheng, although he said that he had the intention of making contributions to his brother-in-law on the battlefield, but it also contained the meaning of letting his brother-in-law secretly supervise Huo Yunsheng. But although his brother-in-law is brave, after all, he is a gentleman, and Niu Mandi will inevitably have concerns in his heart, and he is afraid that he will not listen to Huo Yunsheng's control.

On this day, Huo Yunsheng's flying pigeon biography first arrived at the Yamen, saying that Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, suddenly appeared in Jianzhou City, and had led his troops to defeat Hou Jingxian's 3,000 soldiers and horses, Hou Jingxian was forced to lead the people to surrender, and then mentioned that Lin Beihe was beheaded by He Changhu in front of the battle, and the news that he had donated his body, and mentioned that he had beheaded He Changhu to avenge Lin Xiaowei, and then it was nothing more than the incompetence of his subordinates, please punish Lord Niu and the like.

Cattle all over the ground

Holding this letter, I had a headache, a stomachache, and a liver ache, I didn't know what to do, and I sat in the study for an hour, and then I personally took this secret letter to the back house to tell Mrs. Lin Beiting, Lin Beiting heard that her brother died in front of the battle, and she was in a hurry, and she fainted with a sigh.

After Lin Beiting woke up, she first howled and cried, and then gritted her teeth and scolded, first scolding He Changhu and Tang Jiusheng, then scolding Huo Yunsheng, and then scolding the cow all over the ground, those few people were far away and couldn't reach it, but the cow was all around. This Lin Beiting splashed and rolled, squirting the blood of the dog scolded by Niu all over the ground, it was useless, although Niu Mandi knew that his wife was distressed about his brother's miserable death, but he couldn't stand it if he kept scolding him like this, and his face was lost.

Niu Mandi really couldn't hold back and said two words, but Lin Beiting rushed up to scratch his face like a crazy demon, and yelled: "Niu Mandi! You return my brother! It's all you, you have to force him to go to some battlefield to make meritorious deeds, and as a result, he will die on the battlefield! That Huo Yunsheng didn't take you seriously at all, and actually disobeyed your order and asked my brother to go and fight with people, my brother died unjustly......

The almost collapsed Niu Mandi couldn't bear it anymore, slapped Lin Beiting a few times, and scolded: "Lin Beiting, let your mother's fart!" I put Lin Beihe next to Huo Yunsheng, the original intention was to let Huo Yunsheng protect him, but I just wanted him to be gilded, and in the future, he would have the qualifications to control real power in the army, how did I know that Lin Beihe would go out to fight without authorization, so that something unexpected would happen?"

The maids and servants of the Niu family were all scared to death, who dared to come over and persuade them? They all hid far away, for fear of being affected. The two of them scolded and fought each other for a long time, and in the end, the two of them were tired, and they sat on the ground and scolded Huo Yunsheng together, thinking that the culprit of this incident was Huo Yunsheng. Lin Beiting insisted on letting Niu slaughter Huo Yunsheng all over the ground to avenge her brother. Niu Mandi also had deep hatred, "Huo Yunsheng, it's in vain that the official trusts you so much!"

Niu Mandi thought about it again, and said with a smile: "Madam, now Huo Yunsheng is preparing to attack Jianzhou City with more than 10,000 people, we can't directly turn against him now, and after everything is done and Jianzhou is also defeated, let's slowly figure it out!" Lin Beiting, who had gone crazy, also calmed down, and the two closed the door to discuss this matter, revenge must be avenged, but we can't force Huo Yunsheng to rebel at this critical moment.

At this time, Luo Bingshang had already set off for the southwest road, and there was no news yet, so Niu Mandi made his own opinion, and transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill Benjianzhou, since it had been determined that Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, was born in Jianzhou, then he must take a gamble. Things have come to this point, there is no way back, and Niu Mandi decided to make a desperate bet.

From a cattle herding baby to the current envoy of the feudal officials, his gambling luck has been very good, today he wants to gamble with Tang Jiusheng on life and death, and put most of his troops into Jianzhou, even if Luye City is lost. Niu Mandi knew in his heart that although Jianzhou was a little remote, its strategic value was much more important than that of Luye City, after all, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the same strength, he can easily defend the city in Jianzhou, but in Luye, he has to divide his troops in all directions, and it is easy to be broken by each person.

Moreover, if you send troops from Jianzhou, you can hit Xuantong in the north, Jiangzhou in the south, and Luye and Anshu in the east. How can such a good place not be taken back?

Niu Mandi stood in the patio outside the study and looked at the white clouds in the sky, muttering to himself: "I am just a cowherd baby, what do I have to worry about losing? If this battle can be successful, I will be the true master of Jiannan from now on, even if I lose, I will just go into the mountain and have nothing!"

Power is a good thing, it can make people crazy, it can bring fame and fortune to people, and it can make others willing to bow down, the cow looked at the clouds in the sky, and laughed viciously, "Tang Jiusheng, soon I will let you kneel in front of me and bow down!"

Luye City, Jiannan Road, and 5,000 soldiers and horses under the leadership of the strong general Lin Guanqin rushed straight to Jianzhou, at this time the defense of Luye City was empty, Niu Mandi had to take out a part of the county Yazhou Ya's officials to capture a part of the façade, Niu Mandi calculated, from Huzhou, Jiangzhou, Lianshan mobilized people and horses should start to arrive in five or six days. For security reasons, Niu Mandi issued another order to Songshan County to transfer troops.

Of course, Xiao Cheng, the guard of Songshan County, is his descendant, and it is drizzle to transfer three or five thousand soldiers and horses over. In order to prevent accidents, he must hold the army firmly in his own hands, have money and food in hand, and if he has soldiers, who is he afraid of?

Niu Mandi didn't know that there was an elite army of 3,000 people who had set off from Anshu County, and rushed to Jianzhou County under the stars, the commander of the army was Jin Chengzhang, the halberd, and the vanguard officer was Captain Huang Zongling. In addition, the princess Shui Ruyue and the maid Shen Xiaoyu and twelve strong guards accompanied them, along the way this team maintained a rapid march, defeated many mountain bandits, and rushed straight to Jianzhou, to relieve the siege of Jianzhou.

In addition, a team of more than 10,000 people under the banner of Flame Mountain Dazhai bypassed Tong'an County and crossed the Yuluan River. This team avoided all the tall and heavily guarded cities, only fought some small towns and counties to grab some money and grain, crossed the tall Lingya Mountains, and crossed the Yedu River in the hinterland of Jiannan, passed through the junction of Luye City and Huzhou, and ran in the direction of Jianzhou.

Jianzhou will soon become the focus of the entire Jiannan Province, and an imminent war is inevitable.

Anshu County Wei Wangfu, Xin Zhiping, the commander of the guards, had received Tang Jiusheng's flying eagle biography, knowing that the fat man had been hit by witchcraft and was unconscious, Xin Zhiping checked the relevant spell books, but failed to find a solution, and when he was having a headache, Hong Daqian, the little leader of the palace guards, came in and said that there was a little girl named Zu Qingqiu outside the door who claimed to be the big disciple of King Wei, and asked to see King Wei with a sloppy middle-aged monk.

Xin Zhiping was overjoyed, and said "Please!" in a loud voice, and immediately led people to greet him. Zu Qingqiu followed behind the guard Hong Daqian, still with that innocent appearance, jumped into the Weiwang Mansion, looked around at the master's new home, and said: "What a big palace, being a prince is really majestic! Well, I want to be a prince when I grow up!"

When Xin Zhiping, who came out, heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and quipped: "Ouch, Miss Zu is preparing to be a queen?" and said to the sloppy monk: "Weird bald donkey, Xin Zhiping is polite!"

It turned out that the sloppy monk who came with Zu Qingqiu turned out to be a strange monk. A while ago, Zu Qingqiu worshiped under the strange monk in Xiaohanshan Temple, learning the art of alchemy, Zu Qingqiu is a child's heart, loves to be lively, lived in the temple for more than a month, and couldn't stay anymore, shouting that he wanted to go to Jiannan Daowei Wangfu to find the master, and he had to pull her bald master with him.

Although the eccentric monk has a strange temperament, he is very good to his apprentice and happily comes with him. The master and apprentice came all the way to the fate (to eat), from Xiaohanshan Temple all the way to Jiannan Road, and when they met someone who was destined, the eccentric monk gave one or two pills to save the world. The two of them walked for almost two months before they reached Anshu County, Jiannan Province. The two entered the county town and asked people about the location of the Wei Wangfu, and someone was enthusiastic and pointed the direction.

The master and apprentice came to the gate of King Wei's mansion, Zu Qingqiu reported his name, and asked the guards standing guard at the door to go in and report. Seeing that the monk was so sloppy, the eight guards didn't want to go in to report, but the little girl was obviously dressed in a rich and noble atmosphere, so the little leader of the guards, Hong Daqian, thought twice and went in to report. Hong Daqian was afraid that these two people were liars, and they would inevitably be scolded by the princess, so he came to see Xin Zhiping first.

Xin Zhiping has a kind personality and loves to joke, even if these two people are liars, they will never be scolded, so Hong Daqian came to see Xin Zhiping first. Xin Zhiping had already heard that Zu Qingqiu worshipped the eccentric monk as his teacher, and he had a relationship with the eccentric monk, so it was not surprising to meet and joke about him.

The strange monk saw Xin Zhiping, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "The kid surnamed Xin, you don't even take Lao Tzu in your eyes, when Lao Tzu sees your master, he will definitely sue you!"

Xin Zhiping stepped forward and punched the strange monk in the chest, and laughed: "Bald donkey, you hurry up and complain, I will look down on you if you sue slowly!" and hugged the strange monk again, "Bald donkey, you came just in time, I can't solve something, my worried hair is about to turn gray! I estimate that there are few people in the world who can solve it, and you may be one of the few people who can solve this problem." ”

The strange monk said disdainfully: "What kind of big thing can be that you kid can't solve? If your master can't solve it, then it's called a big thing!"
