The two returned to the Blood Knife Castle, and ordered Junlai to summon all the leaders to discuss the matter overnight. Gongsun Mingyue read the hero's post and said, "Whether we go or not, everyone has an idea." Zhao Hengshan was the first to get up and said: "Of course I go!" The Sprinkle family has been holding back on the mountain for so many years, and it is boring and tight, it's time to meet the world's masters." Most of the leaders had the same idea as him, and they were eager to try. Lu Fei said: "The master of the castle has great skills, and my castle is full of heroes, but the name is not loud, so he simply won the 'No. 1 master in the world' and 'No. 1 sect in the world'." It made my castle famous, and it was not very good. Ling Junlai was also thinking the same way.

Gongsun Mingyue said: "There are many things in the cottage, and the leaders can't all go to the competition, so I have to leave a few people to help me take care of the cottage." Tie Han said: "The old man is blind, and no matter how good the event is, he can't see it, so let's leave an order with Gao Yang, the two village owners." Gongsun Mingyue smiled: "That's very good." Jia Yinyang and Lu Yi also claimed that they would not go, and Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile: "It's worry-free to have a few of you stay." Everyone else went to the meeting with the castle master, Yanjing Lu Yao, prepare to leave in two days. The crowd shouted in unison.

At this moment, I suddenly heard two people say: "I'll go too!" One voice came from the door of the main hall, and the other came from the inner hall, it was Dongguo Wendao and Ling Xue'er. Dongguo Wendao had been waiting outside the hall just now, for fear that he would not be able to go, so he took the initiative to come and ask for his life. Ling Xue'er has been hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, with her character, she is willing to miss the excitement. Dongguo asked the knife to enter the temple and said: "I have been going up the mountain for several months, and I am very ashamed that I have not built an inch, and I beg the lord of the fort to allow me to go together and contribute to the fort." Ling Jun came to know that his martial arts were good and he was also righteous, so he agreed: "Okay, you can also sit down." Dong Guo asked Dao Cheng to be terrified, bowed to the end and said, "Thank you Castle Master." Ling Xue'er pulled Ling Junlai's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Dad, let me go too." Ling Junlai said: "Your mother has been unwell recently, you should stay and take care of her." It turned out that You Jingyao was pregnant for three months, and although she was fine with her movements, she was pregnant and it was quite indecent to show her face, so she didn't attend. Ling Junlai missed his beloved wife, and knew that this trip would be at least a few months, so he wanted to leave his daughter to take care of him. Ling Xue'er said with a smile: "Aunt Zhu has moved into the ear room today, and there are two experienced mothers to take care of her, so there is nothing to worry about." Ling Junlai hurriedly said to Zhu Yushi: "Thank you, aunt." Zhu Yushi hurriedly got up and returned the salute. Ling Junlai said to his daughter again: "It's okay for you to go with us, but don't mess around, do you agree?" Ling Xue'er grimaced at him and said mischievously: "Got it." The beautiful eyes secretly aimed at Luo Tianchu, Luo Tianchu glanced at her, his face turned red, and he hurriedly turned his head away.

Gongsun Mingyue was about to announce the end of the discussion, when a small colonel suddenly came to report: "Qiyu Fort Lord, military advisor, leaders, there is a Song Dynasty general at the foot of the mountain, and I want to see the castle lord if I have something." Ling Junlai and Gongsun Mingyue glanced at each other, and they both felt strange, and said, "Please." Not long after, the colonel led a dignified middle-aged man walked in, the man was forty years old, dark-skinned, not tall, but his head was held high, his breath was calm, the jacket he was wearing was covered with snow dust, after dusting, Shi Li said: "The leaders are invited, in Xia Wu Lan, entrusted by my eldest brother Wu Jie, I have something to discuss with you." Gongsun Mingyue's expression changed, and he got up and saluted: "It turned out to be General Wu Lan, I have been looking up for a long time, please take a seat." The little colonel brought a chair and placed it opposite Gongsun Mingyue, Wu Ling thanked him, sat down and said: "The matter of my coming to your castle and the content of the discussion below please be sure to keep it secret, this is related to my brother and my life." Ling Junlai asked the little colonel to retreat, closed the door of the hall, and said, "The brothers here can be trusted, and I will introduce them to the general." "Introduce Wu Lin one by one at the moment. After everyone saw the ceremony, Wu Lin smiled and said: "It's better to talk to you happily, unlike the first time you meet with a civil official, you have to say nonsense about Fan Wen Zou Zou." All the leaders smiled, and they all had a good impression of this short and capable man.

Wu Lan coughed lightly twice, turned to the topic, and said: "The eldest brother and I have been guarding Sichuan and Shaanxi for many years, and we have always adopted the strategy of deep ditches and high bases, and strong walls and clear fields. Jin soldiers are good at field warfare, but attacking tough battles is weak, if they come to attack, we use the dangers of mountains and rivers to make Jin soldiers have no return. Gongsun Mingyue said: "The people of Shu often say that if there are Wu brothers for a day, Sichuan and Shaanxi will be solid, and this is true." Wu Lan said: "Don't dare to be." It's just that recently, the imperial court has newly sent a 'Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Envoy' to take charge of local military affairs, which makes my good brother embarrassed. Gongsun Mingyue said: "But the palace serves the imperial history, Zhang Jun Zhang, he has just arrived, right?" Wu Lu was surprised: "Guibao is really extraordinary, you know about it less than half a month after Zhang Jun took office." Gongsun Mingyue heard him call Zhang Jun by his name, his tone was quite disdainful, and he said quietly: "Lord Zhang is a confidant of the official family and the main battle faction, so he should be like-minded with Jingluo." Wu Lan said angrily: "It's not that my brother and I are small, and we can't tolerate that Zhang Jun, it's just that he is ambitious and talented, and he is stubborn and self-serving, and boasted to the official family that he wanted to recover Tokyo Bianliang within a year, and he also made an appointment with the official family to eat wine in Bianliang." It's just child's play, as soon as he arrived, he was ready to cut gold, but his brother didn't listen to it, and said that we disturbed the morale of the army and were blamed by the good students. My brother had no choice but to ask Guibao for help, I came secretly, if Zhang Jun found out, he would not be spared. Gongsun Mingyue was shocked, secretly thinking that it would not be for us to assassinate Zhang Jun, and asked, "What can we do?" Wu Ling sighed: " Zhang Jun is just a scholar, never led a soldier, not to mention that the opponent is a powerful Jin country iron cavalry, my eldest brother expected that he would be defeated when he sent troops, hundreds of thousands of soldiers sent their lives not to mention, once driven straight into by the Jin soldiers, Sichuan and Shaanxi will have no danger to defend, tens of millions of people's lives are devastated, and the Great Song Sheji will not be guaranteed, that day must ask the castle lord to lead the people and horses to the monk Yuan and Dasanguan to support, these two fortresses hold the Chencang Road, pivotal, all the food and salary are provided by us, please look at the face of the tens of millions of living beings in Sichuan and Shaanxi, do not shirk, the little brother hereby thanks you to the great virtues。 "Then leave your seat and kneel,

Gongsun Mingyue hurriedly said: "General Wu can't be like this. Busy getting up and hugging each other, Wu Lan knelt on the ground motionless, and said: "If the castle lord does not allow it, Wu Lan will not have the face to go back to see his brother, Sichuan and Shaanxi will fall sooner or later, and it is better to die here than at the hands of Jin Bing." Gongsun Mingyue glanced at Luo Tianchu, saw the flash in his eyes, nodded slightly, and said to Ling Jun: "Castle master, General Wu asked for the life of the people of Sichuan and Shaanxi, we can't stand idly by, so we agreed." Ling Junlai didn't know the strategy of him and Luo Tianchu, but he thought that the military division was resourceful and cautious, so it must make sense, so he got up and helped Wu Lan and said: "The Jin people are brutal and unjust, even if General Wu does not come, we will do our best to live and die with Sichuan and Shaanxi. Wu Lan was overjoyed and said: "The lord of the fort is righteous, I will send a special envoy to contact your fort after I go back, once Zhang Jun is defeated, I will ask the lord of the fort to send reinforcements immediately." Ling Jun came and said: "Recently, I am going to go to Yanjing with my brothers, and the general can contact Mr. Gongsun if he has something. Wu Luqi said: "Yanjing is the territory of gold thieves, what are you doing there?" Ling Jun took out the letter and read it with him, explaining the situation. Wu Xuan said suddenly: "I see, if there is a chance, it will be a great merit to kill the second prince Wanyan Zongwang." "Say goodbye and leave.

After the discussion, Gongsun Mingyue invited Ling Jun to come, Lu Fei and Luo Tianchu went to his house together, and said the strategy discussed with Luo Tianchu that day, Ling Junlai and Lu Fei were surprised and delighted, and looked at Luo Tianchu with admiration, Lu Fei said: "Xiao Luo, tell me, if Zhang Jun's army is defeated, what should we do after we support the monk Yuan?" Luo Tianchu said: "The apprentice is just talking on paper, if there is something wrong, please ask the castle master, the master should not be surprised." Lu Fei said with a smile: "Don't be modest, the strategy of connecting the south to the north was thought of by you, and you hinted that the military advisor promised Wu Scale, you boldly said it." Luo Tianchu replied and said: "After entering the Monk Yuan, we must first help the Wu brothers defeat the Jin soldiers and gain their trust, which is the premise." After the defeat of the Jin army, our vitality was greatly damaged, we took the opportunity to send troops to attack Jingzhao Mansion, borrowed grain from Wu Jie, he owed us a favor, and we took Jingzhao and it was beneficial and harmless to the Great Song Dynasty, and we would agree. After capturing Jingzhao Mansion, he immediately took Tongguan, so that he held the throat of Guanzhong, and it was difficult for Ren Jin soldiers to capture thousands of troops and horses, and then encroached on Guanzhong counties, recruited strong soldiers, and strengthened the city wall. A few years later, he sent troops to Hanguguan, took Luoyang and conquered the Quartet, both advance and retreat, and hegemony could be achieved. Ling Junlai said with a smile: "This is a hundred-year plan, and whether it can succeed depends on the will of God." I'm worried that Yanjing is far away from this mountain, and it will be difficult for us to rush back in time to support after the accident. Gongsun Mingyue said: "Don't worry, the castle master, at that time, I will lead 30,000 soldiers to reinforce Wu Jie, and you can rush directly to the monk to meet in the original meeting." ”
