Xinzhou

In the Xinzhou General's Mansion, Nangong Yuyue sat in the study with a faint expression and closed her eyes to rest. A man in white walked in quickly from outside, but stopped at the door, looking at Nangong Yuyue inside, thinking about how to speak. Nangong Yuyue opened his eyes, glanced at the visitor lightly, and said, "What's the matter?"

The man in white lowered his eyes and said, "You are defeated by the national teacher, General Wu."

The study room was quiet, and the man in white felt that the study room with charcoal was obviously three points colder than the outside of the cold wind. After a long time, he heard Nangong Yuyue's low laughter sounding in the room, "Are you defeated?"

"Yes, the national teacher." said the man in white.

Nangong Yuyue snorted coldly, "Fifty thousand people besieged thousands of soldiers in Wei County, without any dangers or natural disasters. Tell me how he was defeated?"

The man in white quickly knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Last night, the people from Wei County raided in the middle of the night and set fire to the food and grass in General Wu's camp. Last night... the wind was strong, and most of the entire camp was burned."

Nangong Yuyue closed her eyes, obviously in her patience, and asked, "Where are others?"

The man said, "General Wu, he was seriously injured and could not come to apologize."

Nangong Yuyue sneered and said, "Apologize? I don't need him to apologize. Let him die."

The man in white naturally did not dare to answer this. There was a moment of silence in the study room. Nangong Yuyue seemed to finally calm down. Suddenly, he said, "A sneak attack in the middle of the night and set fire to the camp? Didn't it mean that the leader of the group of people in Wei County was just a few bandits in the village? When did he have such skills? Did the news about Heilong Village be found?"

The man in white hurriedly said, "I just sent it, please check it out." In fact, he guessed that the national teacher would be angry before he came in, so he urged him to get the things before he dared to come in to report. He had been with Nangong Yuyue for a long time, so he naturally knew what would happen if his answer was dissatisfied with the national teacher.

Nangong Yuyue reached out to take the thing from his hand and glanced at him indifferently. However, the man in white felt cold and quickly lowered his head. It would be a death sentence to randomly guess the thoughts of the national teacher!

Nangong Yuyue didn't say anything more, and looked down at the thick stack of news in his hand. There were some meaningless things in front of them, and Nangong Yuyue turned it around very quickly. It was nothing more than the identities and origins of the leaders of the Heilong Village. Although they seemed better than ordinary bandits, they had no value in Nangong Yuyue's eyes. Until they turned to the last two pages, there was not much content, but Nangong Yuyue's sword eyebrows slightly frowned.

"Why is this the only thing that Ling Chu has to do with news?" Nangong Yuyue asked coldly.

The man in white hurriedly said, "Qi Bi, Ling Chu suddenly appeared more than three years ago. He disappeared for more than two years, and recently appeared in Xinzhou again. No one knows where he went in the past two years, and no one knows any whereabouts of his three years ago. So..." So they couldn't find out what Ling Chu was, and the only thing they wrote about was some things in Xinzhou three years ago. At most, it was only more detailed than they knew before, but no matter how many things were, they were gone.

Nangong Yuyue reached out and slowly kneaded the thick stack of paper in her hand into a ball, and the ball of paper was kneaded into pieces by the activated internal force and fell from his fingertips. "I don't believe it. He came out of the crack in the ground. Where is this Ling Chu now?"

The man in white whispered, "It should be in Wei County. Although Ling Chu is not old, he acts decisively and cunningly. He was in the hands of the underworld three years ago. Perhaps what happened last night was his work."

Nangong Yuyue stood up and said, "Go to Weixian to have a look."

"National Master..." The man in white was about to persuade him, but someone hurriedly ran in outside the door. Before he could reach the door, he said anxiously: "Report to the National Master, Si'an County is in an emergency!"

“…”

Nangong Yuyue stood at the door with her eyes down, her expression indifferent as if she had no emotions.

The man in white asked quickly, "What's going on?"

The visitor was wearing the clothes of a genocide soldier, but his face was red and slightly breathing in the middle of winter.

"I reported to the national commander, and just now, Luting near Si'an came to report. Ge Danfeng, deputy commander of the Southern Army of Si'an, raised an army to rebel, killed Cheng Ji, commander of the Southern Army, and arrested Wu Nuo, the magistrate of Si'an County. Now I am afraid that the entire Si'an County has been controlled." The man said in a deep voice.

"National Master..."

Nangong Yuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Ge Danfeng, the deputy commander of the Southern Army... raised an army to rebel?"

"Yes, the national teacher."

Nangong Yuyue thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to send a message to Tuoba Liang, and let him take care of the trouble he caused by his men." The man in white responded respectfully and whispered in a low voice: "National Master, after all, we are here, if we stand by and watch, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Nangong Yuyue asked with a tilted head and said, "Then what should you do?"

"I don't dare." The man in white quickly lowered his head.

Nangong Yuyue snorted and said, "Send someone to find out who is the person in Wei County who is the leader now! And that Ge Danfeng, who is the person behind him!"

"What does the national teacher mean?" The man in white was shocked.

Nangong Yuyue said: "Those people who don't seem to be able to do such things in Heilong Village, and Ge Danfeng... took Si'an County in one fell swoop, and there was no other place to report it except Luting. If he had this ability, why would he have to attack at this time if he couldn't do anything?"

"Maybe, it's because of the people from Heilong Village?" the man in white guessed.

Nangong Yuyue said: "Weixian County is still unable to protect itself now. Ge Danfeng is not stupid. Who can tell Ge Danfeng?"

The man in white was silent.

Nangong Yuyue didn't want to say anything more and walked outside.

"Is the national teacher going to Wei County?"

Nangong Yuyue paused for a moment and said, "No, go to Si'an County. If my guess is good, I'm afraid that Si'an County will not be the only one who has lost it now."

Hearing this, the man in white was shocked and hurriedly followed.

"Young Master, the news from Young Master Yun."

In the Weixian County Government Office, Jun Wuhuan sat in the yard with a focused look at a map spread on the table. Behind him, Mingyao delivered a letter to him. Jun Wuhuan raised his head, but the letter was opened, and after a moment, he chuckled and shook his head helplessly.

Mingyao was a little curious, "Young Master, but Ling, what's wrong with you?"

Jun Wuhuan handed him the letter and said with a smile: "Aling has taken down Si'an and Ruocang."

Mingyao quickly took the letter and swept it quickly, and his face couldn't help but look a little shocked, "It's only a few days... Mr. Ling is really..." Jun Wuhuan said, "A Ling is lucky this time." If he hadn't happened to meet someone like Ge Danfeng, he would have probably not been so smooth. But even so, A Ling's method and action are amazing enough. He is worthy of being an apprentice from Tuoba Xingye. When Tuoba Xingye entered the pass, he was quite quick to conquer the city and land.

Mingyao said: "In this way, Weixian, Si'an and Ruocang are connected together, with their backs against Geluo Mountain, and Heilongzhai has gained a firm foothold in Xinzhou."

Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. Whether you can stand firm here depends on how powerful Heilongzhai has. After all, whether it's defending the city, last night's sneak attack or A Ling seized the two counties was a clever way. If you don't have a head-on encounter with the people of the Clan, Heilongzhai will not stand firm in Xinzhou."

Mingyao thought for a moment and said, "The Southern Army suffered heavy losses last night, and I am afraid it will attract the attention of the Northern Jin court."

Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Xinzhou is the place where Tuoba Liang is. If it is spread to the court, it will damage Tuoba Liang's prestige, which will also allow the Northern Jin Emperor to capture the excuse to attack him. Therefore, Tuoba Liang's personal solution is relatively high."

Mingyao said: "Monne, the commander of the garrison in Runzhou, is the Ming King, so they are most likely to mobilize troops in Runzhou?"

Jun Wuhuan nodded slightly, "It is indeed possible that the message is sent to Huan Yu, it's time for Cangyun City to move."

"Yes, young master." Mingyao didn't ask much, he should be respectfully yes.

Jun Wuhuan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and ordered, "I'll keep an eye on Nangong Yuyue. If he has any abnormal movements, he will report it immediately." Mingyao was stunned and said, "Young Master thinks that Nangong Yuyue will..." Jun Wuhuan said, "If such a big thing happened, Nangong Yuyue cannot ignore it."

"Yes, young master." Mingyao looked at Jun Wuhuan, hesitated for a while and said, "Do you want Mr. Yun to come back? Your body..." Last night, the young master personally took someone to sneak attack the Southern Army and agreed. Although he won a great victory, the young master's illness was a little out of control.

Jun Wuhuan frowned and said, "No need to urge him, it's useless if he comes back." If he could really cure it, it wouldn't have been delayed for so many years. Jun Wuhuan always felt that the so-called doctor was just to calm the people around him. The medicines prescribed by Yun Xingyue were really useless.

Mingyao sighed in his heart, and no longer persuaded him to bow and take his leave.

Jun Wuhuan lowered his eyes and stroked the map on the table, and his slender fingers gently landed on the location of Si'an County.

"A Ling..."

When Chu Ling and his party returned to Si'an County, the entire county town had returned to peace, as if the sudden change had not happened before. However, the rampant county guards in the city disappeared, and the soldiers of the South Army who were patrolling in the city also replaced another group of strange faces. Ge Danfeng still hid his mother-in-law in the cemetery that had been prepared outside the city as scheduled. Next to this new tomb were two old tombs that had existed for a long time without names and tombstones. Ge Danfeng directly killed Cheng Ji in front of the three tombs, and the blood stained the renovated soil in front of the tomb.

"Young Master Ling, Young Master Yun, the commander is waiting for the two in the study."

Chu Ling nodded to the guard who led the way and said, "Thank you."

When he walked into the study, he saw Ge Danfeng leaning against the desk and supporting his forehead with one hand. He heard the sound of footsteps and looked up at the two of them, saying, "Fifth Chief, Mr. Yun."

Chu Ling glanced at Ge Danfeng, the only one in the empty study room, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is Yun Yi not here?"

Ge Danfeng smiled lightly and said, "Yun Yi is going to deal with the matter of the county government."

Chu Ling nodded, stepped into the study and said, "Mr. Ge is okay?"

Ge Danfeng smiled and said apologetically: "Fifth Chief, I apologize very much. The surname Cheng is already..." Chu Ling raised his hand to stop his apology and said: "Mr. Ge, don't say much. Since I said that Cheng Ji has given you the disposal, I will not ask too much about him." Of course, she knew that Ge Danfeng did it on purpose, but whether it was for testing or because she was worried that she would not kill Cheng Ji, Chu Ling did not intend to pursue it. Cheng Ji was extremely guilty and had no great value in himself. Chu Ling naturally would not have any grudges against Ge Danfeng for him.

Chu Ling was so generous that Ge Danfeng was naturally willing to repay his favor. He took a token from the box next to him and said, "This is the military talisman of the Southern Army, and now it is handed over to the Five Heads. However... If the Five Heads really want to subdue these people, I am afraid that it still needs to think of some solutions. This thing... is probably worthless in the eyes of the Five Heads, right?"

Chu Ling smiled and took it over and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ge."

Although Ge Danfeng killed Cheng Ji, he did not kill Wu Nuo. After Chu Ling came back, he handed over Wu Nuo to Chu Ling. After all, it was Wu Nuo, and the family of Wu Nuo in the county magistrate's magistrate's ruling. Chu Ling was a little surprised to see the file sent by Yun Yi. Wu Nuo really regarded himself as a local emperor. In terms of the number of wives, concubines and children in Wu Nuo's family, the many real powerful people who Chu Ling saw in Shangjing were not as good as those of many of the real people.

Yes, half of the county has become slaves to the Wu family. Can the family not be lush?

Chu Ling now has no time to care about these matters, so he handed over the matter to Yun Yi for full disposal. He found out that the Wu family and the bandit leaders they arrested before. Those who were not guilty of death were kept first, and those who were unforgivable will be found to find time to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Chu Ling threw these trivial matters to Yun Yi and turned around and entered the Southern Army camp.

When Chu Ling went to Beijing, she followed Tuoba Xingye to the military camp of the Clan. However, at that time she was just a disciple of Tuoba Xingye who could not interfere in anything, and even if she followed her, she would just watch it. But even so, the gap between the Clan's soldiers and these Southern Army was still clear at a glance.

It is true that the people of the Clan are cruel and unkind to the Ancestral people, but the Clan can sweep the Central Plains in a short period of time, which is inseparable from their combat power and military discipline. There are almost no idle soldiers in the Clan barracks. No matter how they are outside, they are always waiting for the military, and they are always focused and alert at any time and anywhere. These Southern Army soldiers had just undergone a major change two days ago, and even the commander was killed, but these people can still make jokes and bet on money and brag about the sun.

Even Chu Ling and his group walked in, but they almost didn't attract many people's attention because they were accompanied by Ge Danfeng.

Yun Xingyue obviously had never seen such a soldier. Although Cangyun City was not a regular soldier in the court, it was also an elite army. How could he have seen such idle soldiers?

Ge Danfeng noticed Yun Xingyue's gaze and smiled at him, "If the Southern Army were all elite troops, how could the Northern Jin people still sit?"

Yun Xingyue raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, and she was right. The Southern Army was nearly ten times more powerful than the soldiers and horses of the Clan. If they were all elites, what would happen if there were any members of the Clan?

The group entered the big tent, and seven or eight men who looked like generals were waiting. They were not as heartless as the soldiers outside. They looked a little weird when they saw Chu Ling and his group coming in. Their eyes fell on Chu Ling, who was following Ge Danfeng, and even had a little hostility.

"Deputy Commander." Everyone bowed in unison.

Ge Danfeng nodded slightly and said, "This is Mr. Ling Chu, the fifth leader of Heilongzhai."

A young captain frowned and said, "Commander, when did we have anything to do with that Heilong Village?"

Ge Danfeng said: "This time it was successful, thanks to Mr. Ling's help. What's more, since we killed Cheng Ji and captured Wu Nuo, we must find a way out for our brothers in the future."

The young man looked at Ge Danfeng with some disbelief and said, "The way out the commander said is to join the Heilong Village for the bandits?" If they want to join the Heilong Village, why don't they come by themselves? At least they still have more than 10,000 troops, how many Heilong Village is there?

Ge Danfeng raised his sword eyebrows and looked at Chu Ling with his head in a slant. It means that the five leaders will do the following things by themselves.

Chu Ling nodded to him and looked up at the people present. These people who could stay here now are naturally those who followed Ge Danfeng. However, Ge Danfeng's willingness to lead people to submit to Heilongzhai does not mean that his subordinates have no objection.

Chu Ling smiled and said to everyone: "If I tell you, soldiers and horses will arrive in Si'an within three days. I wonder what the generals have?"
