Zhuge and his son led the guards to rest in Xiaocheng for three days. During these three days, Longshun County was eerily calm. No Song troops came to attack Xiaocheng, and the people of Xiaocheng gradually resumed their shopping in the market, drinking and listening.

The habit of reading. In the battle of Xiaocheng three days ago, the guards quickly captured the city in just one day. Although the defenders of Xiaocheng suffered casualties, for three days, the guards were benevolent and did not disturb the people. Gradually

Today, ordinary people have forgotten the Battle of Xiaocheng, because whether it was the Song Army defending the city or the Guards occupying the city, it seemed that it did not affect their simple and ordinary life.

On the fourth day, the sun had not yet come out, and even the farmhouse cockcrow was very weak. Zhang Hen and Xu Feng sat on the tower in the north of Xiaocheng, blowing the cold wind, and drinking wine.

Xu Feng looked at the gloomy dead woods to the north, shuddered, and said: "Xi Momen, tell me, why is the little Song King so arrogant? He doesn't even want the huge Longshun County, and lets us live in Xiaocheng.

It's really strange to be free and at ease here for three days. I always feel that something is strange, like the calm before the disaster. Back then, before the Dongyang city of our country was destroyed, we were also in such a dead silence in the cold winter. "

Zhang Hen followed Xu Feng's eyes and felt strange, so he raised his neck and took a sip of strong wine, pretending to be calm and said: "Skeleton Sect, you are not afraid of holding human bone weapons all day long, why are you talking like this now?

?”

Xu Feng also took a sip of wine and explained his doubts: "Three days ago, when our alliance leader ordered to garrison Xiaocheng, he said that if the Song Dynasty's 60,000 Teng Yong troops did not set off to seize Xiaocheng within one day, it would prove that they must

They are lying in ambush near Dongyang in Jing'an County, ready to wait for us to arrive in Dongyang and then annihilate us when we are further away from the Allied Forces. But this is already the fourth day, and we are refusing to go to Dongyang. Teng Yong

Are the troops just waiting for us in Dongyang? They should at least send some nearby Longshun troops to drive us north and lure us away, right?"

Zhang Hen nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. For three days, no one from the Song Dynasty has paid attention to us. It's as if our brave and capable lone army defending the country doesn't exist at all. This is indeed strange!"

The two of them were pondering the reason when they suddenly saw a Guards scout galloping towards them on horseback from the north, waving vigorously at them. The gesture meant "there is an urgent report ahead."

Zhang Hen and Xu Feng hurriedly ran down the city tower to meet the scout. The scout hurriedly dismounted and saluted the two men: "General Zhang, General Xu, hurry up and report from the north! There has been a sudden movement of Song Guo Teng Yong's army, and they have launched a large-scale attack from Jing'an County.

Trek south!”

Zhang Hen glanced at Xu Feng, clenched the West Demon Sword in his hand, and said: "No! They won't wait for us to go to Dongyang, they will come directly to Xiaocheng to annihilate us!"

Xu Feng frowned and was a little confused: "The King of Pingchang, who is so powerful in the northwest, is he so restive? Why doesn't he come early or late? He insists on waiting until we have rested before coming again? Besides, is it possible to set up an ambush in Jing'an?

Isn't it more foolproof? Now that they are marching south in a big way, wouldn't they expose their ambush in Jing'an County? Once they head south in a big way, the strategy of setting up an ambush in Dongyang will no longer be possible."

Xu Feng and Zhang Hen looked at each other, not knowing why, so they hurriedly mounted their horses, took the scout with them, and rushed towards the south tower of Xiaocheng.

The two went up to the south tower, and saw Zhuge and his son practicing swordsmanship on the tower. The leader of the Wei Kingdom used the Yue sword from Chu, and the leader of the Fuguo Alliance used the Yaoran sword created by King Zhao. The two swords were intertwined.

Misty and misty, the sword flower is like moving clouds and flowing water, but its strength can fly sand and rocks.

Zhang Hen and Xu Feng couldn't help but look at it, but they knew that they were no longer Jianghu people in Xiling. The military report was urgent and could only interrupt this wonderful scene of sword practice.

Zhang Hen stepped forward and saluted: "Master of the country, leader of the alliance, northern intelligence reports that King Pingchang's Teng Yong army has made unusual movements in Jing'an County, and they are raising their troops to go south."

Zhuge Dunji and Zhuge Rongrong immediately sheathed their swords. They were both slightly startled, and then both looked at Zhang Hen, as if he had said something unbelievable.

Xu Feng said: "We just received a military report from the north tower, but we always feel something fishy."

Zhuge calmly glanced at his adoptive father and saw that he lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, so he said to Xu Feng and Zhang Hen: "It's really strange. They knew that we were going to attack Dongyang, and they didn't ambush Jing'an properly. Why did they come south? All together.

How many people were there? Which way were they taken?"

Xu Feng and Zhang Hen looked at the scout, who saluted and replied: "The report said that Teng Yong's army from the Pingchang Palace in the northwest has a total of 60,000 people, 10,000 of them stayed in Dongyang, and 50,000 of them marched southward.

The official road leading to Xiaocheng."

Zhuge Calmly asked again: "The fifty thousand Teng Yong army heading south is led by Qiao Luo, King of Pingchang?"

The detective shook his head and said, "I heard that the general leading the army is not King Pingchang, but Qiao Yun, who has just been crowned the crown prince of King Pingchang."

Zhang Hen frowned and said: "I heard that King Pingchang's son has never fought in a war. Why did King Song let a boy who had never been on the battlefield lead the troops to attack us? Isn't this an insult to our guards?"

Zhang Hen gritted his teeth even more, but found that Zhuge and his son suddenly fell silent.

In this moment of frozen silence, outside the South City Tower, another guard scout came hurriedly on horseback. He made a gesture to the people on the tower from a distance, which was the same as the gesture made by the scout outside the North City Gate just now.

They both mean "there is an urgent message ahead".

Zhang Hen and Xu Feng saw that Zhuge and his son did not go to greet the scouts, but remained stunned in place, as if thinking, so they had no choice but to stand there without moving.

The detective hurriedly ran up the tower and saluted: "The Chen-Shu allies sent someone to report that they still have one day to reach Yudu. They also said that the Qi army still has one day to reach Yudu by water."

Zhuge calmly raised his eyebrows and said: "Qi Army? Qi Army can reach Yudu so quickly? Who asked them to reach Yudu so quickly? They should take the land route and show their intention to go to Dongyang! Without my order, they

You can’t go to Yudu instead!”

Seeing that the leader's tone was urgent and seemed to be angry, the detective unconsciously took a step back and said: "Qi Jun... Qi Jun borrowed the Zhuge family's merchant ship eight or nine days ago and hurried to Yudu by water."

Zhuge Rongrong was greatly surprised and asked: "Did the Qi army sail smoothly on the Yuhe River for eight or nine days?"

The detective nodded and said: "It went very smoothly. Only a few military ships from the Song Dynasty tried to block it. They shot some arrows from a distance, but they couldn't stop the Zhuge family's large merchant ship at all."

Xu Feng originally thought that this was good news. After all, if the Chen, Shu and Qi armies could arrive at Yudu at the same time, they would be able to surround Yudu from both sides and capture it in just a short time. Isn't this the "fake" of the Four Nations Allied Forces?

Is it the real plan to "take Dongyang and plot the Jade Capital"?

However, when he saw that Zhuge and his son were still silent, and their expressions became more solemn, he couldn't help but become worried, so he asked: "Isn't it the plan we have been hiding for the three armies of Chen, Shu and Qi to meet in Yudu? Is there anything wrong?"
