When Xie Tong returned to his residence, he still had Ke Xu Cheng's meaningful words in his mind, it seems that this person also has a good conscience, knowing that he neglected to take care of Lao Lai, so that he was distracted, but this person guessed that he met Lao Lai, which is enough to prove that this person is shrewd, and in that case, he still has not lost his mind, and he must be more vigilant in the future. Unexpectedly, this southern expedition was not as smooth as he imagined, but it was a bumpy road, and he offended a great enemy like Kexucheng, and the road in the future was even more difficult.

When they arrived at the residence, the room was full of people, not only Huo Zixin, but also Wang Daoxun, and Yi Wuxing, who was limping.

Xie Tong hurriedly told the back and forth of meeting the guest Xu Cheng!

Wang Daoxun smiled and said, "I can't imagine that your kid has such a ability, so that Ke Xu Cheng can eat Coptis dumbly, hey, the old man really didn't misunderstand you, Lai Kezhong is indeed a tiger general, but it's a pity that Ke Xu Cheng doesn't know how to cherish it."

Huo Zixin said, "Lord Wang, don't patronize and praise Xie Tong! This idea came from a kid!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Wang Daoxun said, "This matter is not allowed to be publicized to the public, hey, Xie Tong, how are you preparing!"

Xie Tong said, "Actually, there is nothing to prepare! A thousand horses, ten days of dry food, and some arrows and other things, that's all, the key is that our army has no supply line, and all grain and grass must be snatched from the enemy, which is an extremely thorny problem." ”

Huo Zixin said, "Don't you bring some wine?"

Xie Tong said, "If you want to bring it yourself, Lao Tzu's horse will definitely not be able to bring so many things!"

Wang Daoxun pondered for a moment. He continued, "It's a really tricky problem, and it's a lonely one. Grain and grass can't last long, good nephew. Has the route of the march been drawn up?"

Xie Tong spread his hands and said, "Not yet! At present, we still don't know much about the deployment of troops in the enemy's rear, and in order to avoid conflict with the enemy's main force, we can only take one step at a time, and it is often difficult to work out the plans that have been drawn up!"

Wang Daoxun said, "The old man has an idea, it is better to enter the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas directly, the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas are the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no shortage of food, which can temporarily relieve the urgent need." The rest depends on your creation!"

Xie Tong said, "My lord, the news of this lone army going deep must be kept very secret, and before entering the rear of the enemy army, it should not be leaked a single star." ”

Wang Daoxun said, "This virtuous nephew can rest assured, the old man can guarantee the confidentiality of this news, and even King Ye will not know about it, and after the army sets off for a period of time, he will tell King Ye!"

Xie Tong said: "That's very good. Let's have a good rest these days, brothers, and enjoy the life in front of you!"

After three days of rest, the 80,000-strong army of Kexu City finally set out. Mighty and straight to Yangzhou City, Liao Zixi was guarding the right wing of the Kexu City army, and Wang Daoxun was responsible for guarding the Great Wall of Heaven. King Ye also followed the army of Kexu City to attack Yangzhou City this time. He was bound to win.

At the same time, Xie Tong led his thousand light cavalry. Heading east, he crossed two mountains and finally entered the Yellow Nest's sphere of influence.

Xie Tong had to expel the scout group, this is the enemy's sphere of influence, although there are not many defenders, it cannot pose a threat to Xie Tong, but Xie Tong's march this time, the key is a strange word, and his army is also a strange soldier, although the number is a little smaller, but the role played at the critical moment may be much greater than imagined. Therefore, he acted very carefully, and Huo Zixin was even appointed by him as the head of the scout group, using his ethereal skills to explore the way, which obviously worked wonders.

Xie Tong's marching method is also quite exquisite, he chooses to rest during the day and march at night, and according to the improvised plan, he is currently heading to Suzhou.

After two days of travel, the weather is gradually warmer, which is enough to see how pleasant the climate of this splendid land in the south of the Yangtze River is, no wonder there is a saying that there are beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xie Tong's army went directly to Jingjiang through Gaoyou and Taizhou, and did not encounter any danger along the way, and the troops from the north of the river were drawn to Yangzhou, resulting in the extremely empty defense of this generation, and the city of Jiangyin was opposite the river.

After Huo Zixin heard the news, he said, "On the opposite side is Jiangyin City, with five thousand defenders, and the city guard is a person named Chen Daoting!"

Xie Tong suddenly heard Chen Daoting's name and thought of all kinds of grievances in Yichang. Since he met the enemy again, he was bound to make Chen Daoting's blood debt repayable. This was also his first challenge after this deployment.

However, thinking that Chen Daoting was stationed in Jiangyin, Xie Tong still had some joy in his heart, Chen Daoting is the apprentice of Datuk Venerable, and he must also uphold the concept of Datuk Venerable and recruit martial arts people, regardless of reputation, of course, the bigger the name, the better. If you can penetrate the enemy's interior through Huo Zixin's division, you can outwit Jiangyin City without spending a single soldier.

After lunch, Xie Tong and the others sat by the river, listening to Huo Zixin's narration to find out what they had heard.

Lai Kezhong's scalp was numb, it was already a huge problem for this thousand men and horses to cross the river, and there were 5,000 defenders on the opposite side, if there was a head-on conflict, these 5,000 defenders could easily eat them.

Huo Zixin thought that the troops on the other side were five times that of them, and he had palpitations in his heart, and said, "It's better to take a detour!"

Xie Tong said, "Isn't the kid cowardly, is he still trying to climb to the extreme of martial arts with this little guts?"

Huo Zixin didn't have a good breath and said, "The ultimate of martial arts is not the so-called death! I knew that I would definitely die, but rushed over, not a matter of timidity, but a problem with my brain!"

Xie Tong said, "Is there a pontoon bridge that can be passed upstream and downstream, or others?" ”

Duan Yuanjing said, "My lord, I have already sent someone to inquire, the nearest pontoon bridge upstream is about eighty miles, and the downstream is about one hundred and twenty miles."

Duan Yuanjing's meaning is already obvious, if you want to cross the river, there is only one way on the other side, Xie Tong hesitated, the current grain and grass in the army is only enough to last for two days, if you can't replenish the grain and grass as soon as possible, then this strange soldier will all starve to death before he can play, he made up his mind and said, "Brothers, we must take this Jiangyin City, the grain and grass in the army is already insufficient, only enough to last for two days, if you take Jiangyin, not only can you replenish the grain and grass, but also enjoy the wine and food in Jiangnan, if you are lucky, you can also find a beautiful lady." ”

When the soldiers heard that there were beautiful Jiangnan girls in Jiangyin City, they were all in high spirits, and they were all gearing up to enter Jiangyin City.

Huo Zixin said disdainfully, "A group of stunned young boys, 5,000 people on the opposite side, will let your 1,000 people clean up, beware of stealing chickens and rice, losing your wife and soldiers, it's better to think about it first, don't starve to death is the right way." His words were like a basin of cold water, pouring directly into everyone's hearts, directly extinguishing the ****.

Xie Tong said, "Jiangyin City, you can only outwit, not attack!" He immediately said, "After dusk, Zixin will follow me into the city to take a look, Brother Lai is responsible for commanding the army, remember not to act rashly, wait for our news."

Before it got dark, Xie Tong and the others took off their armor, handed over the silver, and rode across the pontoon bridge.

Xie Tong thought of the scene when he crossed the river for the first time, when he had just come out of the rivers and lakes, and he almost fell into the path of Meng Kai's master and apprentice, but fortunately, he broke through in time and picked up a life.

Jiangyin City is not a big city, but the history is extremely long, the mottled and ancient city wall does not show the traces of the ancient city's years, the two drove to the front of the city, and were stopped by the guards of the city gate again.

The captain of the squad guarding the city gate said loudly, "Don't be that man, what are you doing!"

Huo Zixin turned his head and looked back.

The city guard said in a loud voice, "What do you see, Lao Tzu is talking about you, you look like a thief, it's not a good thing at first glance, and you are still carrying a horse, it is a spy of the Tang Army, someone is coming!

Huo Zixin was still looking at the city guard blankly, and he didn't know why he had picked him!

Xie Tong smiled dumbly and said, "This official, my two brothers are from Jinan, and they went to Suzhou to visit relatives! This is a little heart, not a respect!" He hurriedly took out some broken silver from his arms and handed it over.

The city guard stretched out his hand to take the silver, and said, "This little brother is still sensible, let's go in!" and then said to Huo Zixin, "I see that you have never walked the rivers and lakes, and you don't understand this rule."

Huo Zixin's face was flushed with anger, and he was almost about to clean him up, Xie Tong hurriedly pulled him into the city, and said in a low voice, "This city guard is right, you really haven't walked through the rivers and lakes, and you don't know how to pay the entrance fee."

Huo Zixin said, "Lao Tzu really wants to skin him, damn, he actually played this game with me!"

Xie Tong couldn't help laughing and said, "This is called ignorance! It doesn't matter if you go back and beat him, the brothers on the other side of the river are afraid that they will starve to death!"

Huo Zixin looked back stupidly and said, "Where are you going!"

Xie Tong said, "Of course it's a restaurant and a tea shop, these two places are the best places to inquire about the news, we want to take Jiangyin bloodlessly, one is to win the championship, and the other is to rebel!"

Huo Zixin pursed his lips and said, "Is Lao Tzu a chick, what does it mean to win the championship!"

Xie Tong replied as he walked, "To win the championship is to grab their heads and let us go into the city to eat, drink and have fun!

Huo Zixin frowned and said, "Nonsense! Thousands of people looked at him, and it was difficult to catch him. What about the other way around!"

Xie Tong smiled and said, "On the contrary, it's just an opportunity, if there is anyone under him who has heavy troops and is ambitious, we can turn against him, so that we will enter the city!"

Huo Zixin said, "What you said is unrealistic, if it were so easy, Lao Tzu would have been healthy a long time ago, why bother to accompany you all the way to starve and die!"

Xie Tong said, "This depends on luck, I am an old acquaintance with Chen Daoting, the city guard of Jiangyin, and it depends on Lao Tzu to make a fuss from this." ”

Huo Zixin said happily: "Say it earlier! Since it's an old acquaintance, we still have to worry about it! Wouldn't it be enough to bring the brothers directly."

Xie Tong said, "There are many meanings of old knowledge, sometimes it still refers to the meaning of sworn enemies, the Central Plains culture is broad and profound, not just learn a few words of Chinese."

Huo Zixin said, "Your uncle, knowing that he is a sworn enemy, brought Lao Tzu to send him to death."

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, this person knows Xie Yang before Yi Rong, not the current Xie Tong, as long as we find a chance to catch him, Jiangyin City is not in our bag, there is a restaurant in front, let's go in and take a look!"
