It has been four days since the departure from the Binan outpost, Xia Chengcan led 4,500 light horsemen to drive more than 2,300 miles day and night, and finally arrived at the city of Qizhou in Qingxi County, and then traveled 500 miles north to Xiahe County.

"Shizi, the garrison of Kaizhou said... It was late at night, and it was inconvenient to open the city gates. The pro-soldiers drove their horses close to Xia Chengcan, and Zheng Sheng reported.

By this time the night had darkened, and the army did not know the time. However, the lack of people and horses, hunger and thirst forced Xia Chengcan to try to lead troops into the city to eat and rest, in order to be able to move back. After hearing the news from his own soldiers, he was furious and reprimanded: "The white-clothed army was ordered by the emperor to go to Pinan to quell the mutiny, and I have the golden order to transfer troops in hand, so he dares to turn me away from the city?

The reporter hurriedly explained: "The guards and cronies deliberately said through the city gate that an hour ago, General Chu Nan led a large army into the city, and he is camping at the moment. They were worried that there would be a clash between the two armies..."

"Ou Luhai?" Xia Chengcan frowned, "He is not in Chunan County, what are you doing here?" Hmph, is it true that he wants to help his son-in-law win the throne!"

General Chu Nan is one of the four first-class "Quartet Generals" in Dahua, and now Xia Muyang and Rui Rumin are dead, and Zhao Qianming has surrendered to the enemy, Ou Luhai can be said to be the first military general of the dynasty. He has always been steady, loyal to the owner, and deeply respected by Emperor Yonghua. Although his son and daughter were in the capital, however, he was leading tens of thousands of troops north at this time, and it was impossible for him to go to see them, obviously Xia Muyan called to balance the white-clothed army.

"How could Ou Luhai, a self-defending military general of the Zhenguo, participate in the battle for imperial power?" Xia Chengcan said with a puzzled face, "My father also recommended him to take over Rui Rumin's position as the general!"

"Xia Muyan is scheming, maybe Ou Luhai was also deceived and used by him?"

Thinking of this possibility, Xia Chengcan decided to meet Ou Luhai, but said to the generals behind him: "I will go to the city to see Ou Luhai, you will rest on the spot first." ”

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Shizi, never!"

"The situation in the capital is unclear, and at the moment it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us, and the prince must not easily get into danger! The consequences are unimaginable!"

For a while, the generals hurriedly surrounded him and unanimously gave advice.

"Everyone!" Xia Chengcan stopped them with a loud shout, and said in a deep voice, "Ou Luhai is the weapon of the country, loyal and brave, I will never believe that he will harm me!" His words were sonorous, and he seemed to have the power to penetrate people's hearts, and after listening to it, everyone unconsciously thought so.

"You guys are guarding here, if I don't come out within two hours, Zheng Yingdong, you will take everyone to continue north!" Xia Chengcan continued while they were quiet.

Zheng Yingdong was originally a guard centurion of the Zhenwang Mansion, and joined the white-clothed army seven years ago, and was one of the ten white-clothed soldiers who went south with Xia Muyang.

"Shizi, no, we... ..." Zheng Yingdong said urgently.

"This is a military order!" Before he could finish speaking, Xia Chengcan interrupted him.

This is a military order, and a military order is like a mountain. Xia Chengcan is the commander of the white-clothed army, and his words are naturally worth the military order.

Zheng Yingdong pursed his mouth and replied with tears: "Yes, Zheng Yingdong takes the order!"

Xia Chengcan looked at the 4,500 people again, suddenly reined in his horse and raised his whip, turned his head and ran towards the city of Yuanzhou.

... ...

Baili Yi is the son of Baili Wangfu in Tianshuang County, forty-five years ago, he was only twelve years old and lived in the capital with Baili Wangfu, the son of Baili Wangfu at that time. Four years later, Baili Wang passed away, and Baili Qianxing hurried back to Tianshuang County to attack the lord, so he entrusted Baili Yi, who happened to be seriously ill, to Duanwang to take care of. I didn't want Baili Yi to get sick and didn't want to leave, so I stayed in Duanwang's mansion for forty-one years and became Duanwang's personal guard.

No one knows how high Bai Liyi's martial arts are, only that he is the number one master of Duanwangfu. At that time, Duanwang's Mansion was attacked, and it was the enemy who designed to lure him out, so he killed and injured Duanwang and crippled his legs. Afterwards, Baili Yi was full of remorse, and he was about to kill himself, but Princess Duan desperately snatched the sword in his hand in time.

Many people believe that Baili Yi is the number one master in the capital. Now, on the orders of Xia Chengxuan, he led more than 1,500 people to ambush on Furong Street, the only way from King Yun's Mansion to the palace. Xia Chengxuan gave him a death order, even if he fought to the last man, he would never let the people of King Yun's Mansion cross this street. He didn't say how many people would be dispatched from King Yun's Mansion, and Bai Liyi didn't ask, only replied, "I'm here, the defense line is there." If I die, I will kill King Yun first!"

Furong Street is a long street, with Dongxiao Lake on one side and residential alleys on the other. Whether it is a lake or an alley, the people of King Yun's Mansion can't walk.

Baili Yi asked people to bring several rows of antler wood, and the ground in front of the antler wood was sprinkled with thistle terrestris more than 100 zhang. He has been by Duanwang's side for a long time, and he is naturally familiar with some simple offensive and defensive methods. This is not a martial arts fight between the people of the rivers and lakes, and the hostility is currently based on their own abilities, winning above board, and losing generously. This is a struggle for imperial power, and it is a matter of who can survive to the end, in addition to force, there must be no less scheming.

"The people of the first army spread their guard, and the people of the rest of the army squinted their eyes and rested!" Bai Li Yi ordered in a deep voice. When a group of people behind him heard this, they quietly dispersed to various places, while the rest rested against the street wall. The enemy does not know when to come, and it is important to recuperate.

... ...

Xia Muyan sat on the side hall, frowning and silent. He was a resolute man and rarely hesitated so much.

Do you want to enter the palace, and when do you want to enter the palace?

"If I were Xia Chengxuan, I would definitely do my best to intercept it on the way. Xia Muyan thought, "Fighting in two phases, I have a lot of people here, and I will never fall behind." However, with the Jin Wei in my hand and the precedence of the ritual law, it is not worth taking this risk. ”

After figuring out this section, he immediately became happy, and said with a smile to He Fukai on the side: "Fukai, send a team of people to pretend to be me into the palace." ”

He Fukai has also been speculating about Xia Muyan's thoughts, and when he heard him say this, he understood it for a while, and happily accepted the order to go down to arrange.

"Dress up as realistic, as if I had actually entered the palace. In addition, ask them to bring the poisonous insects sent by Honghai, if they dare to intercept them halfway, they will naturally have to pay a little price!" When He Fukai walked to the door, Xia Muyan added.

"Yes, lord, I will take care of it. He Fu replied with a smile, "I asked them to bring more poisonous insects and poisonous powder." ”

After speaking, he turned around and bowed again, and walked down quickly.

... ...

Xia Jingyu and Qin Yinzhen stood in front of the camp tent and stood northward, and the more than 40,000 white-clothed generals behind them slept on their own sleep.

"Princess, the letter from the prince of Chengxuan said that the decisive victory will be in this day or two, but the five-colored fireworks have not appeared for a long time!" Xia Jingyu said a little anxiously, "The generals are waiting for such a strict battle, it will not last long." ”

Qin Yinzhen sighed, and her face was also embarrassed. She naturally understands the truth of one blow and then exhaustion. It's just that the five-colored fireworks haven't started, and it won't help them to rush up.

"Look, the five-colored fireworks!"

The sentry on night duty suddenly pointed to the eastern sky and shouted.
