Chapter 168 Tiande is in turmoil, and Ning Yu returns to the southwest

Three miles away from the north gate of Taiyuan City, Murong Hong's face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, although he traveled day and night along the way, sparing no horsepower, but he was still one step too late.

Above the north gate, the Sky Wolf Banner fluttering high undoubtedly showed that Taiyuan City had fallen. In the battle report, the Heavenly Wolf army was as many as one million, and without the city to rely on, his thousands of cavalry were useless at all, and if he went further, he could only be sent to death in vain.

"General Murong, what should we do?" the cavalry commander of Xingyun asked.

On his side, the commander of the cavalry army of Chudu also looked at Murong Hong with blank eyes.

"Let's go back!We'll be with General Feng!" Murong Hong pulled the horse's head, shouted, patted the horse and left.

Behind him, the two commanders of Xingyun and Chudu glanced at each other, took a breath, pulled their horses, and followed.

Immediately afterwards, the whole army turned its horses, crossed an arc, and galloped along the same path.

On the wall of the north gate of Taiyuan City, the soldiers of Tiande took in this scene and immediately reported it to Yelu Tailong.

In a short time, Jerodalon led his men up to the tower.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the men and horses of his headquarters out of the city to pursue, and dedicate the head of the general of the Southern Qi cavalry to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go!"

Tiande's generals have asked for their lives.

Their war horses were far superior to those of Southern Qi, and the other side was a tired army, so it was entirely possible to catch up with them.

"Let them go!" Yelu Tailong shook his head, looked at the endless fields under the city, and smiled slightly: With such a large hunting ground in Nanqi, there must always be some strong beasts, so that our hunting can be more interesting. ”

The news of the Tiande army's capture of Taiyuan City soon spread in Southern Qi and even the entire continent, and the world was shocked for a while.

Above the court of the Southern Qi Dynasty, ministers from all walks of life wrote letters to impeach Zhou for defending the city and inappropriately employing people, resulting in the two heroic cities of Tianguan and Taiyuan being broken one after another.

However, the attitude of the new generalissimo of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Yuwen Junxun, was very intriguing, and he left all the twists and turns of the impeachment of Zhou Zhengwu in the middle and did not make any statement. At the same time, several commanders issued several orders in succession, ordering the whole country of Southern Qi to mobilize, and requisitioning soldiers and horses from all over the country to resist the Tiande army.

For Yuwen Junxun's order, the government and the opposition echoed it, but when the order was issued, except for a few people who made a move, the rest of the leaders except Zhou Qiwu and Song Xiaozhi did not say anything, and all of them did not move.

Yuwen Junxun didn't react to this, he already knew it. After Hong Hui, no one in Southern Qi could truly dominate the six leaders, and he was no exception.

However, Yuwen Junxun doesn't need them to respond to him, all he wants is a righteous name. The order has been issued, and the attitude of the generalissimo has shown that this is enough. For the rest, the people of Southern Qi have their own judgment in their hearts.

There was chaos in the Southern Qi court, but the land in the south began to move.

Taiyuan City is broken, and the entire southern border is no longer in danger to defend, and what is more serious is that the Tiande army no longer needs to be the same as before

It was necessary to attack the fortified fortress of Southern Qi, which meant that the Tiande army was completely free to decide what to do, and the direction of his attack became unpredictable. This was undoubtedly a great trouble for the Southern Qi army.

In the face of such a situation, if the Southern Qi army divides its troops to guard various places, it will undoubtedly be broken by the Tiande army, but if it sticks to one place, it is equivalent to completely abandoning other places and letting the Tiande people wreak havoc.

In the three battles of Tianguan, Qixiu Mountain, and Taiyuan, the elite troops under the command of Zhou Qiuwu lost more than one-third, and the remaining army was absolutely difficult to compete with the Tiande army with only the land of the four counties of Changfeng.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Qiwu gathered all his soldiers and horses to the area of Hongyun City on the front line of Xingyun and Chudu, leaving only a few troops to maintain law and order in various cities. At the same time, send emissaries to ask for reinforcements from the surrounding forces.

In addition, the grain and grass materials in the four counties of Changfeng have also been exhausted. And the people of all the cities and counties were also ordered to abandon the city and go north, and the walls were cleared. For a time, the road to the north was full of Southern Qi people with their families and shoulders.

Under such circumstances, some traitors took advantage of the situation to rise up, plundered the villagers, and stole and killed from time to time, and Changfeng Province was in chaos.

However, the Changfeng Army of Zhou Qiwu is no longer able to worry about these at the moment, they must preserve their strength and deal with the next actions of the Tiande Army, and wait for reinforcements.

After the Tiande army occupied Taiyuan, it really began to attack in all directions.

Changfeng Province was a horse and a flat river, and the advantages of the Tiande cavalry were brought into full play, and the people of Southern Qi who had not had time to migrate nearby suddenly suffered a disaster. Property was robbed, women were taken captive, men were either killed or used as slaves, the elderly and children were all slaughtered, and the towns near Taeyon were bloodied and became the hell of Shura.

Some bandits of the Southern Qi Dynasty also chose to commit treason to the enemy and report to the Tiande people, so that the Tiande people were even more powerful, not only looting the large cities abandoned by the Southern Qi Dynasty, but also chasing and killing many people on the way to escape.

For a while, there were murderous voices in the southern border, and wolf smoke was everywhere.

When Taiyuan City was captured, Ning Yu had already entered the territory of Great Wei with the wind spirit and came to Shuangtuo City.

For the use of wind spirits, Ning Yu had already planned.

Now that he doesn't have many people, Zhu Kuang stayed in the secret realm of Xian Yu Gate, and Qiu Ying was sent by him to the Great Wei Jing Division. As for the wind spirit, Ning Yu considered letting her stay in the southwest.

Ning Yu was patrolling the world of the earth department, but he could decide what to do, and he would definitely not stay in the southwest without a special mission. Then, as the foundation of one's own world, it is natural to leave oneself behind.

Although there is an old slave in the courtyard of Qinchuan City, he is a dumb person, he can still do it by receiving letters and picking up the courtyard, but he can't interfere with other things.

And the wind spirit is a good candidate, first of all, she is a woman, she is often more likely to be despised and ignored, and she can hide herself very well, and secondly, she is outstanding as a detainement hall

One of the elites, with a keen sense of smell and unique vision, is extremely sensitive to intelligence, and is definitely the best choice to stay in the southwest.

Leaving the wind spirit, you can keep an eye on the movements of the southwest wind family at any time, and you can also use it as a center to contact the Jingshi and exchange news. In this way, Ning Yu would be able to control the general information of the Great Wei and the Feng family, so that his next layout and actions would be targeted.

As soon as they entered the realm of Great Wei, the two of them had already changed their appearances, and along the way, with the help of Ning Yu's spirit, their whereabouts were very secret and safe, and it was impossible for them to be targeted.

The two stayed overnight in Shuangtuo City, and by the way, they inquired about the news in the southwest, the situation in Southern Qi was tense recently, Tiande invaded Southern Qi with the whole country, and major wars broke out frequently. For the sake of safety, the southwest adjacent to Tiande has also strengthened its security, the whole territory is under martial law, and the military horses have also gathered to the southwest to prevent accidents.

In addition, the Feng family also issued a strict decree that during the martial law period, any transaction involving large quantities of grain, grass and iron utensils and other military supplies must be filed in the yamen and can only be carried out after obtaining permission, otherwise once it is discovered, it will be punished as smuggling with the enemy.

In fact, this is not only to prevent Tiande or Nanqi from purchasing military supplies from Great Wei, but also to stabilize prices. During wars, there are always unscrupulous traders who hoard supplies and buy and sell them at high prices, which often causes local prices to soar and cause chaos. In this move, the Fengjia strictly controlled the bulk trade under their noses and supervised it at all times, so that illegal traders did not dare to take risks easily.

Ning Yu was not interested in these, and there was no other useful information to inquire about, so the two of them rested peacefully for the night, and set off for Qinchuan City the next day.

There were no words all the way, and two days later, at noon, the two had already arrived in Qinchuan.

Ning Yu of Qinchuan City had been here many times, and he led Feng Ling to his small courtyard, and Ning Yu had already dressed up in advance before coming. He knocked on the door, and soon there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the door creaked open.

A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties stretched out his head, turned his head to see Ning Yu, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. He pulled the door open and bowed to Ning Yu.

Ning Yu nodded at him with a smile, turned his head to Feng Ling and said, "This is Song Ao, who is responsible for guarding this courtyard, he can't speak, but his ears are not deaf." ”

Song Ao was originally a beggar on the street, but he was bought by Zhu Kuang as a servant, and this small courtyard was handed over to him to take care of. Although it was Zhu Kuang who came forward to buy it, Ning Yu had also met him, and Song Ao knew who was his real master.

When Ning Yu met him, he changed his makeup, because Song Ao had never seen Ning Yu's true face, which was why Ning Yu had to disguise himself before coming.

Ning Yu said to Song Ao again: "This is the wind spirit, and you will be the master of this small courtyard in the future, you have to listen to her." ”

Song Ao immediately saluted the wind spirit respectfully.

"Let's go in first!" Ning Yu said.

Song Ao nodded, and immediately led the way for the two of them. On the wall of the small courtyard, there is a pigeon cage, in which there are more than a dozen carrier pigeons, and the wind spirit knows at a glance that this is not just an ordinary yard.

Entering the room, the two sat down separately

, Song Ao immediately poured tea for the two.

Ning Yu said: "Have you had a letter from Beijing recently?"

Song Ao nodded, stretched out his hand and gestured a few times.

Ning Yu said: "Bring it to me." ”

Song Ao turned around, and after a while, he came back with a few letters in his hand, and handed them to Ning Yu respectfully.

Ning Yu waved at him, Song Ao nodded, and left with interest.

Ning Yu looked at the envelope in his hand, it was all sent by Qiu Ying, the seal was intact, and it had never been opened.

Ning Yu opened it according to the time above, and on the letterhead, it was densely packed with complex alien symbols.

This is the ancient text of the cultivation realm, and it has been modified by Ning Yu, and only Ning Yu and Zhu Kuang know the meaning. In this way, even if the letter is intercepted, they will not be able to read what is written in the letter and will not have to be afraid of leaking.

The first letter had the most words, but it didn't have much useful information. Zhu Kuang just said in the letter that he had settled safely in the capital, and there were some trivial things in life, which seemed to be a practice of using new characters. The content of the information began to officially appear in the next few letters, but most of these information Ning Yu had already learned from the Five Elements Secret Department, but it was the content in the last letter that caught his attention.

"Zhengyang has had many secret meetings with Wu Changde recently. Ning Yu's brows condensed slightly.

He suddenly raised his head to look at Feng Ling and asked, "How much do you know about this Longbow Marquis of Great Wei?"
