After Yuwen Tianlu saw that the Western Army had withdrawn to Shuangfeng Mountain, he was relieved to know that Zhao Lanjiang had persuaded Liang Yuanzhi and gained the trust of the other party.

He could have given an order to let Liang Yuanzhi withdraw from the first line of heaven, but this has nothing to do with Zhao Lanjiang, in his plan, Zhao Lanjiang is a very important link, even the most critical link, without Zhao Lanjiang, even if he holds the first line of heaven, but in the face of the third-line attack, the Western Army still has no chance of winning, so he gave the opportunity to Zhao Lanjiang.

He said to Xiao Jinyan, "We can go." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked puzzled, "Did you expect this?"

"Haha, where do I have this ability!" Yuwen Tianlu paused slightly, "Yes, I do have this ability." Let me ask you, what is the most important thing about the two armies fighting?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "The time and place are favorable. ”

Yuwen Tianlu shook his head.

"That is to plan the time, the situation, the art of war, the army to plan, the second to fight, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city. Daddy Yuwen, you are both wise and brave, and it must be a conspiracy to deduce such a battle situation. ”

Yuwen Tianlu smiled dumbly, "You can beat the snake with the stick." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Isn't what I said wrong?"

Yuwen Tianlu still shook his head.

Xiao Jinyan said suddenly, "I understand, it's intelligence! When the two armies are fighting, intelligence goes first, and without intelligence, it is like a blind man touching an elephant and a leopard in a tube, and it is difficult to grasp the overall situation." ”

Yuwen Tianlu still shook his head.

Xiao Jinyan scratched his head, "What is that?"

Yuwen Tianlu said proudly, "It depends on whether I will lead the troops! The old man has debuted for more than 20 years, and he has not tasted defeat with soldiers, that's all!"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, and said out of place, "Including the siege of Hidden Yang City back then?"

Yuwen Tianlu's old face flushed, and he said in a deep voice, "Ningyang Hou Chang'an's son in Chang'an's family is Chang Cheng, who is excellent in poetry and painting, proficient in music and rhythm, and is born like Pan An. ”

Xiao Jinyan immediately changed his words, "Back then, you didn't attack the city, and you didn't spend a single soldier to persuade Yinyang City to surrender, this is the real battle plan, what is the golden knife Li Qiuyi, you just give him a face." ”

Yuwen Tianlu laughed, "Go up!"

He was originally a hero, he didn't care much about secular etiquette, he did his duty in the court, but he didn't follow the rules in the rivers and lakes, these days of getting along, Xiao Jinyan became more and more interested in him. However, Li Chuntie doesn't seem to think so, once he starts to go crazy, he will not recognize his six relatives.

"Let's go. The rest will be handed over to Zhao Lanjiang. ”

Xiao Jinyanqi said, "Father Yuwen, you are Zhao Lanjiang's enemy, he can't wait to kill you, why do you still trust Zhao Lanjiang so much?"

Not only did he not understand this, but Zhao Lanjiang also didn't understand it.

Yuwen Tianlu obviously had a chance to kill Zhao Lanjiang, but he didn't make a move, and even came to the rescue on the golden knife platform. Zhao Lanjiang obviously had the opportunity to kill Yuwen Tianlu, but he didn't do it.

Yuwen Tianlu said, "I don't trust him, but I believe in Li Qiuyi." He said, "This time the Northern Zhou and Western Chu joined forces, as early as the imperial court expected, deduced dozens of times, as long as Li Xiancheng rebelled, there was almost no chance of victory." ”

"What does that have to do with Zhao Lanjiang?"

"He is the heir elected by the Golden Sword King, and he can influence the situation of the Hidden Sun. Yuwen Tianlu said lightly, "You know, the opponent is Tuoba Niuren, although I have never fought with him, but I am very familiar with each other's tactical play, if I come to control the overall situation, there must be traces to follow."

, Zhao Lanjiang is different. ”

Xiao Jinyan was a little worried, "Although Zhao Lanjiang has led troops, he is only a guerrilla general at most, and it is okay to plan a battle, but he is inexperienced in a battle." ”

"When the old man led the troops to fight for the first time, he joined the army for less than a month. At that time, I was a staff officer under the banner of King Yong, and the main general was killed in battle, and the deputy general fled, and I led 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight my way out of the encirclement from 50,000. So, experience can be an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage that restricts the outcome of the battle. ”

Xiao Jinyan pursed his lips and said no more.

"Why don't you speak?"

Xiao Jinyan said dissatisfied, "Positive words, negative words, good words, bad words, you have all said it, no matter what you say, you are justified, I don't want to look like an idiot." ”

"Idiots are self-aware, and you're better at that than idiots. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Li Jinghong, the eldest lady of the Li family in Jinling, has good character and learning, and has high martial arts, known as the first beauty in the rivers and lakes, and I like the death and life of my love." ”

When Yuwen Tianlu heard this, he said casually, "Oh, there is such an excellent woman in the world? ”

Xiao Jinyan was completely defeated, "Zhaoyao Mountain is still more than two hundred miles away, I think let's hurry up." ”

"You're also interested in martial arts?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "You sent someone to spread the word to the rivers and lakes, saying that the martial arts are on me, and I don't know if there is a martial arts scripture in Zhaoyao Mountain, but the people who are waiting to arrest me have eight hundred, if not one thousand, but eight hundred, I can't carry this pot." Besides, the pear blossom needle is in your body, whether it is dead or alive, there will always be a break, right?"

Yuwen Tianlu said, "The son of King Jing's family ......"

Xiao Jinyan took over the conversation and said, "Born in a famous family, strong in martial arts, and good character, you like it very much when you propose marriage to your family, right? ”

Yuwen Tianlu shook his head and said, "I got a hidden disease last winter and died. ”

"What are you telling me about this?"

Yuwen Tianlu smiled, "I can also let you have a hidden disease." ”

Xiao Jinyan obediently closed his mouth, he found that fighting with this old fox would never be able to keep up with his rhythm, and his skills were still far behind.

......

Night.

Zhao Lanjiang led 300 soldiers and horses down the Shuangfeng Mountain, in order to prevent being discovered by the other party, they used hanging baskets to descend from a cliff in the back mountain, and wrapped the horses' hooves to avoid making a sound, sneaked for five or six miles, avoided the enemy spies, copied a path, and ran towards Yinyang City.

Besiege?

Yinyang City is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, when Yuwen Tianlu led an army of 100,000 people, they did not dare to attack the city rashly, and attacked the city with 300 soldiers and horses, which was tantamount to a moth to a fire, and it was not advisable.

Persuasion?

Li Xiancheng has had the heart of a second minister for a long time. The assassination of Yuwen Tianlu and the killing of the prefect of Yinyang have already committed a heinous crime, and Zhao Lanjiang is not Su Qin, Zhang Yi and the like, relying on a mouth to persuade him to surrender, he thinks he can't do it.

He relied on the five thousand white horse servants stationed in the city. In the past few days with Bai Ma Yicong, he can feel the other party's respect for Li Qiuyi, and he also has a friendship with the dragon, tiger, leopard and wolf four guards, if he can get their support and take advantage of the chaos to regain control of the city lord's mansion, there is still a chance to fight.

Zhao Lanjiang didn't know that the commanders of the dragon, tiger, leopard and wolf guards, as well as the general Li Xianzhong, had been detained by Li Xiancheng, and the five thousand righteous servants were also replaced by Li Xiancheng with his own soldiers and horses.

However, Yuwen Tianlu had already expected what Li Xiancheng had done, so how could he do nothing? Yuwen Gui's flounder organization, as well as the dark forces of the grocery store shopkeeper Xu Yang in Hidden Yang City, would all obey Zhao Lanjiang's dispatch.

If you want to change the situation of the Hidden Sun War, you must recapture the City Lord's Mansion.

To recapture the City Lord's Mansion, you must first enter Hidden Yang City.

Now, the city of Yinyang has long been under martial law, the city gate is closed, on the city wall, five steps and a sentry, ten steps and a post, if you want to enter the city, it is difficult to climb to the sky, not to mention three hundred people to enter the city.

Three hundred soldiers and horses bypassed Hidden Sun City, and before dawn, they arrived at White Horse Town.

Although White Horse Town is close to Yinyang, the defenders are less than 100 people, and they are not vulnerable at all, but in the past two days, Li Xiancheng has been busy dealing with internal problems and has no time to deal with White Horse Town, not to mention, there are bandits from Sifeng Mountain to the east who work for him, and he has not found time to deal with White Horse Town.

The garrison had already dispersed, and Zhao Lanjiang did not encounter any obstacles.

Li Chengcheng has been waiting for a long time.

The city is closed by the hidden sun, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the city, but if a convoy carrying 300,000 catties of grain enters the city, it is another matter.

Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Mr. Kong, have they all agreed?"

Li Chengcheng smiled bitterly, "We're talking." ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "I'll come." ”

At this moment, Zhao Lanjiang was wearing armor, burly, with a bit of majesty, and everyone saw that Zhao Lanjiang was like a different person, and suddenly lost his momentum.

Mr. Kong said, "Zhao ...... General Zhao?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "Mr. Kong, the situation is urgent, Li Chengcheng has told you, right?"

Mr. Kong sighed, "Our group originally wanted to take advantage of the good market to take a trip to Yinyang City and earn a sum of silver, although the second half of our lives will not be prosperous and rich, but at least we will have no worries about food and clothing, who would have expected to encounter this kind of thing." Alas!"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "The second half of life can be very long or very short. ”

"Otherwise, let's go back to the Central Plains?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "Those thieves in Sifeng Mountain are all private soldiers raised by Li Xiancheng, and it is a fluke to be able to break through when they come, do you think there will be such luck when you go back?"

Mr. Kong said dejectedly: "What should I do then?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "Why don't we make a multiple-choice question." ”

Mr. Kong asked, "Single choice, multiple choice, or indefinite choice?"

Zhao Lanjiang smiled dumbly: "You still have the heart to joke." ”

"Joy in suffering. ”

Zhao Lanjiang didn't entangle with him, and asked directly, "Do you want food, or do you want life?"

"This grain is what we bought in exchange for bankruptcy, if we lose it, even if we go back, we will not commit suicide by throwing ourselves into the lake, but we will also be forced to death by usury, General Zhao, you are a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't you protect our people?"

Zhao Lanjiang originally wanted to forcibly requisition these grains in exchange for a chance to enter Yinyang City, but Mr. Kong's words made Zhao Lanjiang feel compassion.

On the battlefield, compassion is the deadliest.

This was the first lesson he learned from the army, and it cost him the life of his first captain. At that time, they captured a Western Chu captive, and the commander of the army asked him to kill him, and when he saw that the captive was weeping bitterly, and that it was both a parent and a child, he was moved with compassion, and the captive took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention and attacked the commander of the army.

After this incident, Zhao Lanjiang was on the battlefield and showed no mercy.

But Mr. Kong is different, they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they have been together for several months, and they have friendships, the key is the sentence, "You are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, you should protect the integrity of the people".

Zhao Lanjiang gritted his teeth and pointed at Li Chengcheng, "All the money, he will come out." ”

Li Chengcheng said, "Me?"

"Wait for the capture of Hidden Yang City, the things of the City Lord's Mansion, you can choose!"
