The news is that last night, Su Qinghou and Zuo Jingjing led the southern troops to overthrow the Beifu troops entrenched in Lecheng overnight, and then moved on to seize Hezhou. The southern troops were overwhelmingly powerful, and the Beifu troops were completely defeated.
The important land of Hezhou was lost to the Southern Territory again. This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue to Qin Dingfang at this critical moment. It took Qin Dingfang a long time to recover from the shock.
Qin Dingfang was so angry when he came back to his senses that he even angered Ximenxuan and yelled at Ximenxuan: "You promised me that the Hezhou branch was impregnable. Why did it disappear overnight? You deployed it for so long
, are you fooling yourself by recruiting so many people?"
Ximenxuan was also confused. He knew how important Hezhou was. So some time ago, he personally went to Hezhou to deploy. He also raised the walls of the branch school and added several new sentries. Ximenxuan also asked his friends to help defend.
Liang is the leader of the "Qingyue Sect" and is a man of both wisdom and bravery. Moreover, the Hezhou branch has more than 2,000 people, many masters, and hundreds of elite members of the "Qingyue Sect", which shows its strength.
Ximen Xuan believed that such a battle, even if Lin Yi personally led a large-scale attack with troops from the southern border, would not be able to capture it within ten days and a half. If it took ten days and a half, the reinforcements from the North Mansion would have arrived long ago.
But now Hezhou was taken over by Su Qinghou and his men overnight, which made Ximen Xuan unbelievable.
Ximen Xuan knew even more clearly that Hezhou had been captured and they suffered heavy casualties. The troops in the south were heading straight towards the north. From then on, the north no longer had much advantage.
Ximenxuan felt that the arm stabbed by Su Qinghou was even more painful.
The pain was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat.
Faced with Qin Dingfang's angry accusations, Ximenxuan had a hard time explaining it. After all, Hezhou was lost. He couldn't blame him. But Ximenxuan knew that there must be a hidden reason. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Hezhou to separate the cult so quickly.
was breached.
We can only wait for Guan Liang to come back and ask for details.
One day later Guan Liang returned to Beifu.
Guan Liang suffered no less than ten injuries on his body, and one of his hands was cut off in the melee. One of his ears was also cut off. It can be described as an extremely embarrassing situation.
Ximenxuan asked Guan Liang why he lost Hezhou in front of Qin Dingfang.
But he didn't expect that Guan Liang was still angry. He shouted to Ximenxuan with a lot of resentment: "Brother Ximen, even if you give me an iron bucket to guard, it is a bucket with the bottom exposed! What do you want me to do?
Keep!"
The "iron bucket" with the bottom exposed!
Qin Dingfang and Ximen Xuan were both confused.
Guan Liang continued: "You know, it turns out that there is a secret passage in the branch sect. The entrance to the secret passage is actually in the stable. Southern masters sneaked into the branch sect from the secret passage at midnight and were caught off guard and attacked. Many of our brothers died in their sleep.
He was killed! My third brother's martial arts skills were so high, he died unjustly. If you had told me that there was such a secret passage in the branch sect, I would have filled this 'hole' earlier and I would not have suffered such a tragic defeat!"
Qin Dingfang and Ximen Xuan looked at each other, and then they understood the reason why the Hezhou Branch was lost overnight.
It turns out there is a secret fucking tunnel!
Now it was Ximenxuan's turn to ask Qin Dingfang.
Ximen Xuan said: "King Qin, after all, I came back late. I don't know the Hezhou branch religion as well as you do. You only told me that there are two secret passages in the branch religion. One leads from the garden rockery to the outside of the west wall of the branch religion. The other is
It leads from the master bedroom of the branch to the melon patch outside the east wall. You didn't tell me there is a secret passage in the stable!"
Ximenxuan asked Qin Dingfang, and Guan Liang also looked at Qin Dingfang with a look of resentment.
Qin Dingfang's expression was as if someone had stuffed a piece of shit into his mouth. He opened his mouth and really didn't know how to answer.
With the conscience of heaven and earth, Qin Dingfang had no idea why there was another secret passage in the Hezhou branch.
Tracing the root cause, it was Qin Dingfang's fault that Hezhou was lost.
Qin Dingfang said after a while: "I don't know either..."
After all, Qin Dingfang was the King of Qin and the head of the Northern Palace, so Ximen Xuan had to protect his face. Ximen Xuan then smoothed things over, comforted Guan Liang with good words, and ordered someone to take Guan Liang to recuperate.
After Guan Liang left, Ximen Xuan walked back and forth on the ground a few times, wondering what was going on.
How could a secret passage appear out of thin air that even Qin Dingfang didn't know about?
Ximen suddenly patted his head and seemed to realize something.
Ximen said: "Dingfang, we have all been fooled by Lin Yi! When Li Tianlang led his people to capture Hezhou, Zeng Tengyun and the troops from the south ran away without putting up a desperate resistance. Li Tianlang said that he was scared out of his mind.
.In fact, they dug a new secret passage in advance. Only they know the entrance of the secret passage. In this way, they can sneak into the sect through the secret passage to rebel at any time, and they don't have to pay heavy casualties to defend..."
Ximenxuan's inference is very reasonable.
Qin Dingfang really didn't expect that Lin Yi could think of such a method, so he yelled in anger.
"Lin Yi, you bastard! You were not raised by Li Yan, you were born by a monkey! Su Qinghou, I will not let you go, I will make you miserable..."
…
Ximenxuan's inference was correct.
Before Lin Yi went to the capital, he handed over the affairs of Hezhou to Zeng Tengyun and asked Taishi Yulang to assist Zeng Tengyun.
But Zeng Tengyun and Taishi Yulang were worried that they would not be able to defend Hezhou after Lin Yi left.
Lin Yi thought about it and suddenly thought of the secret passage leading to Beifu. Lin Yi was greatly inspired. He gave Zeng Tengyun and Taishi Yulang a plan and asked them to organize a group of reliable people to secretly dig a secret passage within the branch.
The secret passage leads outside the church. Both secret passage entrances must be hidden so that the enemy cannot discover them.
If Beifu launches a large-scale counterattack to seize Hezhou, don't make any unnecessary resistance and just retreat.
As long as this secret passage is not discovered, it will be easy for them to recapture Hezhou in the future.
So Zeng Tengyun organized people to secretly dig a secret tunnel. Then when Li Tianlang led his people to seize Jinzhou, Zeng Tengyun and the troops from the southern border made a symbolic resistance and then fled in a hurry.
This time, Su Qinghou took advantage of this secret passage and easily captured Hezhou. He also completely reversed the situation that was not conducive to the southern border.
Just when Qin Dingfang was furious and scolded Lin Yi in Beifu, Lin Yi, Zeng Tengyun and others were already dozens of miles away.
Recently, Lin Yi led his men to cause chaos in Fengxiang. Su Qinghou also took the opportunity to lead his men to seize the important land in Hezhou. The goal was achieved. Lin Yi took the remaining people and left Fengxiang.
More than a hundred people entered Yixiang, and now there are only about 20 people who have returned. However, the casualties and panic they caused to the enemy are even more immeasurable.
Xiao Lianqin personally told Lin Yi and Zeng Tengyun the news that Master had captured Hezhou.
It was Zeng Tengyun who led the people to "retreat" from Hezhou. Now when he heard that Hezhou had been retaken, Young Master Zeng almost jumped up with joy.
"Haha, what a fucking joy! Hezhou, which is said to be impregnable, was captured in the middle of the night. Qin Dingfang must have fainted in his wife's arms."
Zeng Tengyun also gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, admiring how clever Lin Yi was in letting him dig the secret tunnel in the first place.
Lin Yi's happiness was beyond words.
It is of great significance to capture Hezhou especially at this critical moment.
Xiao Lianqin said: "Prince Lin, now that the situation has turned, the southern border is no longer at a disadvantage. I have to leave too. I have to accompany my master back to the southern courtyard."
Lin Yi had mixed feelings after hearing this, and he couldn't help but look at Hui Hui.
Lin Yi understood that after Su Qinghou returned to the South Courtyard to settle everything, he would have a decisive battle with Wang Guilai when he came back.
If two tigers decide their fate, one of them will die.
