Nightwatcher

The flying cavalry of the Gu clan carrying the Dafeng banner. The officials and staff in the hall were a little at a loss, and couldn't connect the "Dafeng army flag" with the "Gu clan" for a while.

Um? flying ride?

The next moment, everyone caught the point and looked at Yang Gong in unison.

"Clear the weapon and let him in..."

Yang Gong pondered for a moment, then said unhurriedly.

The officials were ordered to retreat, and a quarter of an hour later, the guards of the Chief Envoy led the two into the lobby.

Yang Gong, Li Mubai and all the staff looked at the visitor with scrutiny.

The one on the left is a man from southern Xinjiang, with a dark complexion, light blue eyes, and naturally curly hair. His clothes and explosive muscles make him look wild.

But those light blue eyes contained the light of wisdom.

It is indeed the heart gu master Yang Gong, who is the highest governor of a state, maintains a dignified majesty, and casts his eyes on the soldiers around Ta Mo.

Xu Erlang's deputy.

Gu Qi immediately understood the envoy's inquiring gaze, bowed his fists and said:

"The humble Gu Qi is Xu Nian's deputy general."

After a pause, seeing Yang Gong nodding his head, he continued:

"This is Ta Mo from the Heart Gu Division of the Gu Clan, the leader of the Flying Beast Army, Xu Yinluo invited reinforcements."

Li Mubai and his staff swore that these words were the most pleasing and beautiful voices they had heard in the past ten days.

When did Xu Yinluo go to the Gu tribe in southern Xinjiang again? Also invited the flying beast army of the Gu clan?

In addition, how many flying beasts are there, where are they, and what are their combat capabilities? They had a series of questions to ask, but before Yang Gong could speak, everyone restrained their impulse very well.

But the heart is quietly burning up.

Yang Gong straightened his back slightly, and fixed his eyes on Gu Qi:

"Why did the flying beast army of the Gu clan come with you?"

He asked out the doubts in the hearts of the staff.

Gu Qi said:

"The warriors of the Heart Gu Department came to Songshan County to rescue the soldiers under Xu Yinluo's order, and helped the defenders repel the enemy."

While talking, he took out the letter from his arms:

"There is a handwritten letter from Mr. Xu."

The official stepped forward to take the handwritten letter and handed it to Yang Gong respectfully. Yang Gong opened it and read it, then nodded to the staff who were staring straight at them.

Songshan County saved

It was another good word that made people feel high. The staff were surprised and looked at each other, conveying excitement and joy.

At this time, Ta Mo took out a handwritten letter from his arms and said:

"This is Xu Yinluo's handwriting. Let me hand it over to Minister Yang after I arrive in Qingzhou."

This time, Yang Gong directly raised his hand, took a picture of the handwriting from the air, and couldn't wait to unfold it.

Different from Xu Ningyan's neat and elegant handwriting, Xu Ningyan's handwriting is distorted and ugly, and the font seems to be cobbled together by strokes.

That's right, it was Ning Yan's words Yang Gong believed immediately, without any doubts.

It's not that no one can imitate Xu Ningyan's calligraphy, but that Xu Ningyan's calligraphy is extremely rare. In today's Kyushu, except for Yunlu Academy and Xu's Mansion in the capital, it is almost impossible to see Xu Ningyan's handwriting.

Xu Ningyan is a shameless person, so he cherishes his calligraphy very much and will never pass it on.

So even if someone wants to imitate, there is no sample to provide.

Yang Gong looked down, the first half was Xu Ningyan's story about how he fought against the Confucians in southern Xinjiang, persuaded the Gu people with his unparalleled eloquence, influenced the Gu people with his noble sentiments, and finally let the Gu people settle their suspicions, and sent troops to the north to support Dafeng .

Yang Gong believes that eloquence may be there, but sentiment needs to be questioned.

Further down, is the number of troops sent by each ministry.

"Flying Beast Riders from the Heart Gu Division are five hundred."

When he saw the first line, Yang Gong froze.

He suspected that Xu Ningyan had made a mistake. One must know that during the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Dafeng's flying beast army was only 1,500 in number.

After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, within a few years, the imperial court disbanded the Flying Beast Camp and sold the Red-tailed Fierce Eagles in large quantities.

Why? Because I can't afford it.

If the heavy cavalry eats silver, then the flying beast army eats gold.

What is the concept of an army of five hundred flying beasts? I'm afraid it accounts for half of the number of flying beasts in the Heart Gu Department.

Looking down, there are 400 fighters from the Power Gu Department, 600 corpse controllers from the Corpse Gu Department, and 800 elite from the Shadow Department.

Yang Gong's heart sank, he was both pleasantly surprised and worried, the reason for the pleasant surprise was that these elite fighters of the Gu clan could undoubtedly alleviate the current decline of the Qingzhou Army.

The worry was because the Gu clan had given too much, and the plan must not be small. Minister Yang was worried that Xu Qi'an would make a promise that the court could not accept indiscriminately.

He frowned and looked at the end of the handwriting, which was Xu Ningyan's promise to the Gu clan.

This. Yang Gong once again suspected that Xu Ningyan made a mistake.

Just now I felt that the number of flying beasts was too large, but now I feel that the price is too small.

Too cheap

Unknowingly, Yang Gong's back became straighter and straighter. He still maintained a dignified and rigid manner, but his eyes had become extraordinarily bright.

He put away the handwriting calmly, staring at Ta Mo:

"Has the leader of the Heart Gu Department read the content in the handwriting?"

Ta Mo didn't understand why he asked this question. After thinking about it, he understood again, and nodded calmly:

"Emissary Yang Buzheng can rest assured that the contents of the handwriting are accurate."

The IQ of Heart Gu Masters are generally above the standard, which is why Xu Qi'an gave them the handbook.

If it is replaced by the force Gu department, I am afraid they will respond like this:

"How do I know!"

Or just say, "Me too!"

Tamo continued:

"I also hope that Envoy Yang Buzheng will write to the court as soon as possible to confirm this matter."

Yang Gong nodded:

"I understand that Commander Tamo came from a long distance, and the journey is tiring. I will arrange for you to go down to rest first, and then I will have a good banquet for the commander in the evening."

After someone took Ta Mo down to arrange a residence, Yang Gong let out a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the staff at the table.

And these staff who are proficient in various fields and have read poetry and books have long been impatient.

"Ning Yan's handwriting said, how many flying beasts are there?"

Li Mubai asked questions on behalf of everyone.

Yang Gong showed a smile: "Five hundred."

"five hundred?!"

Shouts sounded from the table, and the busy officials in the distance also stopped their work and looked over in astonishment.

"show me."

Li Mubai stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice, "Come!"

The letter paper in Yang Gong's hand disappeared suddenly, and appeared in Li Mubai's hand. He unfolded the letter paper to read, looked at it, his breathing was a little short, and the hand holding the letter trembled a few times, but he recovered quickly.

The letter paper was circulated among the staff, the hands holding the letter were trembling, and the faces showed excited and excited expressions.

The arrival of the elite of the Gu clan is like a timely rain to Qingzhou at this time.

Watering the dry battlefield.

"Just for these prices, so many elites of the Gu clan have been invited. Xu Yinluo's noble sentiments can even move the people of the Gu clan."

An aide stroked his beard in admiration.

Naive Li Mubai and Yang Gong glanced at him, the latter said slowly:

"Perhaps there is a price we didn't know about, and Ning Yan paid for it himself."

The atmosphere at the table eased up, and the staff laughed and talked with emotion:

"I don't know when Xu Yinluo will be able to finish dealing with the matter in southern Xinjiang. If he can come to Qingzhou, why not worry about the rebel army being wiped out?"

"Although he is not on the battlefield, he still cares about Qingzhou, right?"

Speaking of that famous martial artist, even if all the people here are scholars, they only have reverence in their hearts. You must know that literati look down on vulgar warriors the most.

"Looking at it now, I still have to thank Duke Wei. He allowed Dafeng's pillar of the country to continue, and it did not collapse because of his sacrifice."

Dafeng lost Wei Yuan, but Xu Qi'an was added, and the inheritance is still immortal.

Li Mubai frowned, and hummed:

"Ning Yan is worthy of being my student. The art of combining vertical and horizontal is perfect, and my teachings over the years are not in vain."

Xu Ningyan is his nominal student.

Yang Gong looked at his classmates and friends expressionlessly, and said lightly:

"That's right, Xu Ningyan is a student, and I am very satisfied with it, and I have never humiliated my teacher for all those years."

The two great Confucians of Yunlu Academy looked at each other, as if electric sparks collided in the air.

Two days later, ten miles away from Wan County, there was the headquarters of the Yunzhou Army.

Eight giant fiery red birds flew over from the sky, passed over the tents, and landed on the northwest side of the barracks.

At this time, Qi Guangbo was performing sand table games with counselors and generals of each battalion.

"With our forces, if we attack Wanjun by force, we can take it within ten days. However, there is Zhang Shen, a great scholar in Wanjun, who majors in the art of war, so we should not be underestimated. If we attack by force, our army's elite may be damaged. "

Ge Wenxuan looked at the sand table and analyzed.

Seeing that the brows of the battalion generals around him were tightly frowned, and they didn't take it seriously, he said in a deep voice:

"As I said before, the most important thing in fighting Qingzhou is stability, not speed. The faster you fight, the faster the elite will be damaged. When we can't reach the capital, there will be very few elite troops left.

"So to deal with Wanjun, it is best to encircle rather than attack and die slowly. If the Qingzhou army comes to support, we will eat them. Eat as much as you come."

A general with a square face shook his head:

"The premise of cutting flesh with a blunt knife is that Songshan County can be taken. Only by eating Songshan County and Dongling can the Qingzhou Army be forced to do their best to stabilize Wan County.

"Otherwise, they can use Songshan County as their base, send troops to join up with the Dongling defenders, and eat Ji Xuan's team. In this case, Wan County will become a stubborn rock holding back the main force of our army."

Qi Guangbo, the commander of the three armies, finally spoke:

"Zhuo Haoran has any information to send back?"

A few days ago, Zhuo Haoran sent back an urgent report that the 6,000 elites under his leadership had encountered stubborn resistance from the defenders in Songshan County and asked for reinforcements.

Qi Guangbo dispatched forty Zhuque troops to help as quickly as possible.

It stands to reason that Songshan County should also be won.

"This Xu Nian surprised the general. Although Zhuo Haoran is not good at attacking cities, but the 6,000 elite under his command are brave and good at fighting. It is not easy for a young man at a young age to do this."

Qi Guangbo laughed and said, "He's a general."

Just as he was speaking, the sound of running footsteps stopped outside the military tent. Qi Guangbo looked outside the open tent and saw a soldier approaching from far to near, and said:

"What is it?"

The soldiers who reported said loudly:

"The Vermilion Bird Army has returned to the barracks, brought back information, and the 6,000 elite troops that sent troops to Songshan County were wiped out. Zhuo Haoran fled and disappeared. Only eight of the Vermilion Bird Army's forty riders returned."

While talking, he put the information book on the ground.

Inside the military tent, the expressions of the generals changed.

Qi Guangbo squinted his eyes, and his expression became a little serious. He strode forward, took the information book in the hands of the soldiers, and started to read it.

"General?"

Ge Wenxuan shouted in a low voice.

Qi Guangbo passed the information in his hand without expression.

After reading it, Ge Wenxuan fell silent.

The information was circulated among the generals of the battalions. In the silence, someone finally couldn't hold back, and said through gritted teeth:

"The Gu clan has formed an alliance with Dafeng."

After Ge Wenxuan returned to the barracks a while ago and told everyone that the alliance with the Gu clan had failed, the top management of the Yunzhou Army had a vague premonition.

All the generals looked at Qi Guangbo one after another.

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Yunzhou Army, after a long silence, let out a sigh:

"interesting."

Back then, when he joined the army for the first time, he said these two words. In the sand table deduction with Xu Pingfeng, they still said these two words.

Dongling, the south gate collapsed into ruins.

At the beginning, the Dafeng defenders and the Yunzhou army fought in the streets of the city, and the flames of war burned every inch of the city.

After six days of street fighting, the population of the city was halved.

Some people escaped from Dongling, some were forcibly recruited by Yunzhou Army or Dafeng Army, and some died in the flames of war.

Then, the Dafeng defenders withdrew their vehicles to Dongling and started a field battle with the Yunzhou army.

The war in the city subsided, but what followed was the looting of the Yunzhou army, and all the money, food, and beautiful women from the people's homes were robbed.

In a well-preserved small courtyard, Xu Pingfeng was pale and coughed, with blood dripping from his palm.

Jialuoshu Bodhisattva sat cross-legged on the futon, and the temperature in the small courtyard was as hot as midsummer because of his presence.

"I haven't suffered such a serious injury for many years, the teacher is still a teacher."

Although he was seriously injured, Xu Pingfeng had a smile in his eyes.

He immediately glanced at Jia Luoshu: "But even the teacher couldn't hurt you."

Jia Luoshu closed his eyes and meditated, and said lightly:

"The Prisoner at the beginning of the year didn't hurt me either, except when he almost died at the hands of the gods when he destroyed the Wan Yao Kingdom, I haven't been injured for five hundred years.

"The Gu clan seems to have joined the battle."

Xu Pingfeng shook his head indifferently:

"It's a trivial matter. The alliance with the Gu clan is just a cover. The purpose is to send the incarnation of the White Emperor to meet the Gu God. As for my eldest son, let him jump around. When he is promoted to the Dao, he is qualified to be my opponent." .

"Well, after so many years, I finally solved a puzzle in my heart."

Jia Luo Shu opened his eyes and stared at him:

"What is it?"

Xu Pingfeng smiled and said, "I probably know who the gatekeeper is."
