"Jingzong, there is no danger in Shaoyang City for the time being, the emperor must have also received your battle report, you are in Shaoyang City, you can rest assured for a while. www.biquge.info I can't stay here for a long time, I have to rush back to Yongzhou and bring back the Yongzhou defenders. ”

"Brother Huaiwen, why are you in such a hurry? You and I have not yet spoken a few words. Cao Jingzong was naturally reluctant to let him leave him so soon.

"Jingzong, in less than a month, the emperor will definitely invite you back to Beijing, and when you come to my house, we will talk about it again. Wei Rui naturally knows the character of the emperor very well, how can he still sit still in the face of such a fiasco? No matter how much he protects his brother, this crime of escaping from the battle, he can't cover it if he wants to.

"It's okay, Brother Huaiwen, then please go back. Cao Jingzong said reluctantly.

Wei Rui smiled slightly, it is very rare for a big man to have such a warm moment, but at this time, when the country is in turmoil, the two of them think most about the difficulties of the battle situation, and there are too many words to be pressed in their hearts and cannot be said.

After Cao Jingzong saw Wei Rui lead the troops away, he opened the city gate, and just after entering the city gate, Zhao Cao rushed to him like a burning buttocks: "Where is General Wei? Why didn't he enter the city?"

"He has something urgent and has to rush back?what, something?" Cao Jingzong saw Zhao Cao's anxious face.

"I ...... I have been entrusted with a matter of meeting General Wei. Zhao Cao was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, now that Fan Jun's whereabouts are unknown, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, won't the letter of recommendation he was carrying in his arms become waste paper?

"Lord Zhao, who are you entrusted with looking for General Wei?" Cao Jingzong saw Zhao Cao in front of him and felt that he was a little confusing.

"This ......" Zhao Cao grinned, he remembered General Chang Yizhi's words, if he didn't see Wei Rui, he would never say it.

"Now, Lord Zhao wants to immediately send someone to find the whereabouts of Cao Fang and those grains and grasses. Cao Jingzong thought of the boats that were going down the river, and what he was most afraid of at this time was that the boats would capsize and die under the collision of the torrent.

"Yes, General, I will send someone to look for it at once. Zhao Cao was more anxious than anyone else at this time, and when he thought of losing that thin and wise young man, he would feel inexplicable sadness in his heart, hoping that God would have eyes and let them all come back safely.

In Pingcheng Xingluan's mansion, after Xing Luan listened to Yuan Xiang's words, he didn't say a word. Before Yuan Ying set out on the expedition, he had already thought of everything he could think of, and all the preparations that should be made, and he quietly left Yuan Xiang behind to lead the cavalry he had trained many years ago, precisely for this battle with Nanliang.

It's just that he still didn't expect that Wei Rui's actions would be so fast, which caught him a little off guard. Now that Yuan Xiang's army has also been exposed to Wei Rui, the surprise attack strategy has lost its effect, and if the two armies meet again in the future, they can only fight with open guns and swords.

Yuan Xiang has suffered a setback for the second time since following Xing Luan, she finally understands why Xing Luan is always worried these days, worried about this and that, when her eldest brother Yuan Ying led the army to fight before, she never had too much worry, but the two successive setbacks made her suddenly very worried about her eldest brother, the eldest brother has never failed in his life, and she is naturally unwilling to let the eldest brother suffer this defeat.

"Yuan Xiang......" Xing Luan said for a long time.

"My lord, Yuan Xiang is really ashamed to live up to the high expectations of adults. Yuan Xiang replied in a low voice.

"You are a girl, it is not easy to go to Nanliang regardless of the danger, I Xing Luan admires you very much in my heart, how can you say that you have lived up to my high expectations. Of course Xing Luan understands what this child means, think about her as a girl, sleeping in the open every day, swords and swords, without a strong heart like a man, she can't hold on at all.

“...... Yuan Xiang has not done an inch recently, and he no longer has the face to do things for adults. Yuan Xiang's face was full of disappointment with herself, she was full of confidence before she set out on the expedition, with the super fast speed of stepping off the war horse, with the sharp scimitar in her hand, they could have easily taken Shaoyang City. However, outside Shaoyang City, she was defeated in the first battle by the thin Nanliang boy, and then by the hands of the two generals of Nanliang Town. Defeated by Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong, she didn't have too much sense of loss in her heart, but the first time she was defeated by that young man, she always had too much unwillingness to think about it.

"Yuan Xiang, your greatest credit is that you can get out of the way. You must know that you are facing the most formidable enemy in my life, and it is also the person I hope to fight with on the battlefield, and you have no fear in front of him, not everyone can do it. Xing Luan thought of the young man, "The young man who beat you with a chain meter, do you know who he is?"

Yuan Xiang shook her head, she regretted it a little, when she left, she didn't ask his name, at that time she hated to kill him with a knife, and she didn't care about anything else.

"In my eyes, he is the most terrible enemy!" Xing Luan sighed secretly.

"Why is he the most terrible person?" asked Yuan Xiang unconvinced.

Xing Luan smiled slightly, the Yuan Xiang in front of him was the same as the young man, they were both people who could not be underestimated, but the difference between Yuan Xiang and him was that she was a daughter.

"Child, if the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and I have a young man like you in Wei State, so isn't there still a young man like him in Nanliang? Xing Luan really hoped that his prophecy would not come true, but the meticulousness he had cultivated over the years forced him to say so.

Yuan Xiang didn't refute him again, although she and the young man had only met once on the battlefield, but on the young man's thin cheeks, the eyes under the pair of handsome eyebrows were so calm and calm, which was extremely incommensurate with his age, and the domineering spirit he showed in his gestures, although she didn't care about it on her face, but his eyes that seemed to be able to see through the depths of her heart at a glance made her heart still unconsciously a little frightened. If this man had gone through a few more years of war, his achievements would not be comparable to those of today.

Who are you? Yuan Xiang gritted his teeth, if they meet on the battlefield next time, they will really fight for their lives.

Xing Luan pondered for a long time before he spoke to her: "Yuan Xiang, now your strange army, originally did not want to be exposed on the battlefield, but now that you have been recognized by the enemy, it is impossible to hide you again, I can only play the emperor and ask for troops!" Xing Luan originally wanted to avoid this war that he had already seen through the ending, but things repeatedly went wrong and had forced him to the battlefield, and he had to face his enemies with Yuan Ying, Yang Dayan, and Xiao Baoyin.

"My lord, if you go to the battlefield in person, I am afraid that the emperor will not agree to your request. Yuan Xiang suddenly thought of Xiao Zong, the second prince of Southern Liang who defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was always a big trouble to keep him in the capital.

“...... I know what worries you, this ...... It's also what worries me the most. "Now that Xiao Zong suddenly fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the motive is indeed difficult to guess for a while, but this person is in the country for a day, and the court will not be at peace.

"My lord, now that the army led by my eldest brother and General Yang has approached Zhongli City, and is only one step away from victory, my lord still has to think carefully before presenting the emperor. ”

"......" Xing Luan was speechless for a while, yes, Yuan Ying and they have already arrived at Zhongli City, as long as Zhongli City is broken, their army can drive straight into the hinterland of Nanliang, and they have the intention of destroying Nanliang. It's just that...... What has been lingering in Xing Luan's mind at this time is the thin young man in Liang Jun in Yuan Xiang's mouth, the young man's face is blurry in his mind, but his heart, for some reason, is a deep chill......
