When Song Yi stuck his head out of the battlements to take a look, he just saw a pair of eyes that were almost fiery red beast-like eyes!

The eyes look at themselves like a wolf looks at its prey!

Song Yi himself also screamed in horror.

However, he himself did not have a chance to see the expressions of others. Because he was hit by an arrow in the neck.

Almost instantly, countless people in black rushed to the top of the city, and they died one after another before they could react.

This is a special force capable of climbing the city walls and killing people.

In less than an hour, the White Emperor City fell.

At the same time, the fleet of ships going up the river also arrived outside the city in time, and the brigade began to land. Everything went very smoothly.

When the sun had already revealed his face from the horizon, the heroic Huan Xuan, dressed in armor, strode into the gate of the White Emperor City, and Huan Shiqian still had blood on his body, but he still walked in front of Huan Xuan and said, "Brother, take it!" ”

Huan Xuan patted Huan Shiqian on the shoulder and said, "How are our casualties?" ”

"More than 200 brothers died in battle."

Huan Xuan was stunned and said, "Good students take care of them." What about Qin Jun? ”

"It's all under control, Fu Ming has been locked up by us now, but ......" Huan Shiqian stopped talking a little.

"Say it."

"We still haven't been able to completely block the news requested by our brother, because there are too many waterways in White Emperor City, and someone should have run away while we were on the top of the city just now, after all, at that time, we didn't have full control of the city gates." Huan Shiqian said with some guilt.

"It doesn't matter." Huan Xuan said, "Originally, it was just taken from it, and it was just a matter of it, if you want to completely block it, you can't do it if the White Emperor City is so big, don't mind." After all, White Emperor City is the throat of eastern Sichuan. It's a big credit to be able to win it! ”

"Then we ...... next," Huan Shiqian asked.

Huan Xuan waved his hand and said, "Who is the most trusted general under your command now?" ”

"It's Adjutant General Ling Min."

"How's this guy?"

"He is thirty years old, he has been in the army since he was a child, his martial arts are extraordinary, and he is loyal and honest." Huan Shiqian didn't understand.

"That's good." Huan Xuan said, "In this way, you take out five hundred soldiers and horses from your headquarters, and use this Ling Min as a general to guard the White Emperor City!" ”

"Huh?" Huan Shiqian didn't understand.

"The soldiers are fast, what we want is a point, and then a point, it is better than the person who goes to report to Chengdu! Do you understand? ”

Huan Shiqian nodded.

"So, you immediately lead the troops and horses of your headquarters and take Jiangzhou directly, remember, along the way, the flag will be silent, day and night, don't rest! If there is an obstruction, don't entangle, the main force will go around directly! What's more, we have long understood that in this land of Yizhou, the Di people do not have many soldiers and horses at all, and for the Han soldiers and horses, they can be moved with affection, understand with reason, and lure them to benefit, so that they will not go all out to fight us as enemies, it should not be difficult. I think the land of Jiangzhou will definitely be able to fight down! ”

"A certain guarantee to complete the task!" Huan Shiqian said, "But what about you, brother? ”

"I led the navy, went up the river, and went straight to Chengdu!" Huan Xuan said quietly.

……

By the time Qiu'er hurriedly found Fu Bao with the military report, in fact, at this time, Huan Shi's piety had already arrived at the city of Jiangzhou.

After reading the military report, Fu Bao's heart suddenly cooled.

The White Emperor City was lost, Fu Ming was missing, and the shock to him from this news was too great.

Fu Bao didn't expect that he had just taken the rebellion in Chengdu and kept the land of Yizhou, and before he could sit firmly, this Huan Xuan actually raised troops to attack.

Moreover, this name is too useless, three thousand people guarding the White Emperor City, it is so vulnerable.

Fu Bao froze and immediately asked, "How did the White Emperor City get lost?" ”

"Princess, that Huan Xuan sent a number of dead soldiers, climbed the city wall at night, killed the defenders at the head of the city, and then opened the city gate, and when the inside and outside were combined, the White Emperor City was lost."

"What about Tomina?"

"It is said that Fu Ming went to a liquor store at night to drink, and then was restrained."

"Hey!" Fu Bao slapped the table indignantly, "Providence, providence!" ”

"What are we going to do, princess?" Qiu'er asked worriedly.

苻宝 qiáng'pò calmed himself down, then thought about it, and said, "Qiu'er, I'm afraid this time." Lianjiangzhou is no longer in our hands. ”

"Huh!?" Qiu'er was a little incredulous.

"Come and see." Fu Bao opened a map, "Although eastern Sichuan takes Kuizhou as the gateway, the weight of its situation is attributed to Jiangzhou." Up and down the Three Gorges, both sides of the river are lofty mountains and mountains, the Yangtze River waterway is like a slender bottleneck in this area, out of Yichang in the east, out of Chongqing in the west, the terrain is slightly flat, Jiangzhou is at the west end of this slender bottleneck. In this way, whether it is from Jingzhou to Sichuan, or out of Sichuan to the east, Jiangzhou is the only hub. This time, such a big move in Jingzhou, I expected that Huan Xuan must personally lead the troops, it is impossible for him to let go of Jiangzhou, if I were him, I am afraid that after taking the White Emperor City, he would attack Jiangzhou in the starry night. ”

Qiu'er also knows a little about military affairs, and after hearing this, she couldn't help but be worried, and said, "Then princess, what can we do?" Do you want to defend Chengdu? ”

"That's not going to work." Fu Bao smiled bitterly, "Before, we didn't kill people in Chengdu for their rebellion, but now, they are just because we have soldiers and horses in our hands now, and they are afraid of death, so they dare not act rashly." But once Huan Xuanbing comes to the city, I'm afraid they will be the first to turn against the water, can such Chengdu still be defended? ”

"That ......"

Fu Bao paused and said: "You see, after entering Sichuan from the Three Gorges, we assume that he can easily take Jiangzhou, and after arriving in Jiangzhou, he can lead to Chengdu in several directions: follow the Fujiang River to the north, you can go to Mianyang and go out of the north of Chengdu, the so-called internal water, at this time, Hezhou is its important stronghold; From Jiangzhou to the Yangtze River, the Min River upstream, can go out of the south of Chengdu, often called the outer water, at this time, Jiading is its important stronghold; In addition, from Jiangzhou to the west, and then from the Tuojiang River to the north and to Chengdu, often called Zhongshui, Huzhou is its important stronghold. So the trouble with the problem is that Huan Xuan has three roads to go, but our troops can't send troops to guard all three lines. Guarding all the way, it's still barely okay. So things have become a big bet on these three paths. ”

The internal and external waters are the main passages between Chongqing and Chengdu, and the internal water Fujiang River is particularly important. The Fujiang River is divided into Yizhou, and Mianyang and Hechuan are located in its upper and lower reaches. Mianyang lives in the north of Chengdu, and has taken the risk of Chengdu when it enters Fucheng. The three rivers of Hezhou converge, with high and deep, Yi is dangerous. Those who protect Chengdu often go up to Fucheng and go down to Hezhou to control the upstream and downstream of Fushui.

Qiu'er nodded and said: "But princess, in the past, Cen Peng begged Gongsun Shu, and the soldiers in Jiangzhou were divided into two routes, sending Zang Palace to travel to the internal water, and leading the main force to travel to the outer water, and the result was a battle; Liu Bei entered Chengdu, took the internal water, and Liu Zhang gave the head; Thirty years ago, the constant temperature leveled Li Shi, taking the outer water, it was also like a bamboo, and the slave maid thought that Huan Xuan was most likely to go to the outer water, all the way straight to the water. ”

Fu Bao nodded and said, "Of course, I think the same way, but at this time, once we make a mistake, we will have no power to return to the sky, Qiu'er, you let me think about it, and then think about it carefully." ”

……

Fu Bao still needs to think about it, but the news has already spread all over the world. Because this marks the beginning of war in the world that has been quiet for a long time.

Moreover, one dozen is two places at the same time, and Fu Rui and Tuoba Jue have officially exchanged fire in northern Henan. And the news that Huan Xuan had entered Sichuan at this time made all parties feel quite pressured.

The first thing to know, this time it was Duan Ye, who made Duan Ye's intelligence network the only one in the world.

"yes, yes." Duan Ye kept circling around the room with his hands behind his back, "This Huan Xuan, it's really ruthless, this time he hid from all of us!" Duan Ye slapped his face violently, "Hey, who would have thought that this time this guy took the initiative to attack Henan, because the drunkard didn't mean to drink." Tsk, who would have thought that he went to find Fu Rui's bad luck for Shuzhong? Who would have thought that in order to avoid self-defeating, this guy could still persuade Tuoba to go south and drag Fu Rui for him? Wonderful, wonderful! ”

At this time, Cui Hao's eyes lit up, and he said: "My lord, your sentence 'The drunkard does not mean to drink' is really wonderful!" This sentence, the more Xiao Ke chews, the more he feels that the artistic conception in it is extraordinary. ”

Duan Ye blushed at this time, it turned out that he was happy to say that he had moved out the famous words of the old man Ouyang Xiu, but it would take nearly six hundred years for Mr. Ouyang to be born. It's not good now, I plagiarized your old man's quotes, it's a sin.

In fact, when Duan Ye spoke, he was always very careful not to say these idioms, famous sayings, etc., and never recited the poems he had recited in the past to gain fame.

After all, these things are good, but after all, they belong to others. If you want to use advanced technology, means, and ideas to make money, develop the economy, and transform the army, you still feel better about that period of business, after all, it is indeed for the country and the people. But to plagiarize other people's poems, then it can't be said. When Duan Ye passed, he was very annoyed that the protagonist in it had nothing to do to pretend to be forced to use the famous sentences of the poet and the poet in front of a woman or a rival.

If you really want to write literary dramas, why bother writing poems and lyrics yourself?

And whether it is poetry or idioms, in fact, there is a problem, that is, poetry is chanted on a specific occasion and under a specific feeling, and you read it regardless of the corresponding occasion, in fact, it is impossible to get the result you want. There are allusions to idioms, and there are scarlet languages that have not yet been produced, and you said it, but people can't understand it at all.

Fortunately, this "drunkard's meaning is not in wine", that can be understood literally, although Duan Ye is vigilant and breaks the precept, but he can also use this method to talk about **.

"Ahem, that's nothing." Duan Ye said modestly, "Let's continue to get down to business." ”

Cui Hao said: "My lord, this time Huan Xuan is obviously prepared, and there is only Fu Bao guarding in Shu, I am afraid that it is more than auspicious." ”

I don't know why, as soon as Duan Ye heard that Fu Bao might be more auspicious, his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

However, this subtle action was seen by Cui Hao.

Today's Cui Hao is no longer the Cui Hao of two years ago.

Cui Hao at that age, although he was still well-read, far-reaching, and keen-eyed, but after all, he was still young, and he was not so knowledgeable about human feelings, and at that time, what he thought about the most was nothing more than to give Duan Ye a good idea.

But now, there are some things he has to consider. After all, in this place of officialdom, even if Duan Ye no longer looks like a lord, he is still a lord in essence, so if you think about it, you can't get around.

For example, it has been rumored before that Duan Ye wants to marry the Great Qin Empire and wants to marry Fu Bao. For such words, Cui Hao himself is skeptical. But because there is no evidence, it is inconvenient for Cui Hao to say anything.

But looking at Duan Ye's expression, Cui Hao felt as if he had caught something.

Duan Ye said: "What do you think will be the reaction of the other parties?" ”

"Jiankang shouldn't have any reaction." Cui Hao said, "Now the endless political battles have not yet been decided, and there is not even the upper and lower hand, plus this time, it is Huan Xuan himself who led his troops westward, and there was no request in advance, presumably the old men of Jiankang will also think that more things are better than less things, anyway, they always have credit for winning the war, the same chicken dog shēng'tiān, if they lose, they can still settle accounts with Jingzhou when they take the opportunity, how can they all earn." ”

"Hmm." Duan Ye nodded, obviously agreeing with Cui Hao's statement, and at the same time expressing a trace of disdain for the direction of Jiankang.

"As for Chang'an." Cui Hao smiled, "I think, Fu Hong must want to save Yizhou, after all, Yizhou is lost, I'm afraid it is impossible for him to hold Guanzhong." The problem is that he still has to face the threat of Yao Chang now, where will he get the extra soldiers and horses? ”

"Then are we going to sit back and watch Fu Bao be destroyed?" Duan Ye asked.

Cui Hao felt that he had sniffed out the smell now, wasn't the meaning of Duan Ye's words obvious? Isn't this just trying to find a way to save your future wife once?

Therefore, Cui Hao said: "Adult, small can be, if Jingzhou annexes Yizhou, it will not be good for us." ”

"Oh?"

"Your Excellency once said that the best thing for us is that the world always maintains the fèn'liè and maintains the balance of power, and no one can completely destroy anyone, and we help the weak and weaken the strong, so that this balance of power can be maintained as long as possible, and we must not give anyone the opportunity to complete the unification first. And Zhuge Liang's former Longzhong is right, what he said is to cross the Jingyi and protect its rock resistance, if Huan Xuan is allowed to take Yizhou, it must not be a good thing for us. ”

"That's right!" Duan Ye said, "Then this matter will be handed over to you, you should think about what to do first, and then report to me." ”

Cui Haoxin said that he really came, and said busily: "Xiao Ke knows." ”

"Well, it's not too early, I'm afraid I won't have anything to eat if I call you out at this time." Duan Ye said kindly, because the news was too important, in fact, Duan Ye invited Cui Hao after work, "It just so happens that Lan Xin and Jiang Yu are back, Sister Ru will cook in person today, so you can stay and have a light meal together." ”

Cui Hao actually wanted to stay, and he could meet Zhuoer, but at this time, Duan Ye made it clear that his women were now gathered together, and it was considered a reunion, and it might not be good to go by himself, so he still said resolutely: "No, my lord, Xiao Ke still has some official business to finish, so let's deal with it first." ”

"It's fine." Duan Ye nodded and said, "I'll go there first." ”

"Congratulations, sir."

Cui Hao looked at Duan Ye's background, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what does this Sailim Zhuoer look like now?

……

"You're going to save her?" Zheyan Nalan said sourly.

Duan Ye looked at Zheyan Nalan's expression, and then looked at the bald spirit is also not good, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, I told you all the inside story, I just want to make sure that Shuzhong is still in the hands of the Fu family." ”

"Isn't that the same?" Orihiko Nalan pouted.

"Forget it, eat!" Duan Ye knew that he couldn't be entangled, otherwise this chick would become more and more energetic.

Then the crowd began to stir up.

Duan Ye said that etiquette is a thing, and you must talk about it when there are outsiders, but in your own home, as a family, don't care too much. For example, when eating, you can be casual.

Originally, everyone actually cared about their own image very much, but a few times they saw Duan Ye drinking and eating meat, and sometimes he even grabbed it with his hands, and Bald Spirit and Zheyan Nalan, who didn't like red tape, completely let go. That is, Jiangyu and Liu Yiru, who have always been relatively reserved.

"That's right, Yu'er." Duan Ye put down his chopsticks, looked at the beauty he hadn't seen for a long time, and said, "How is business in the Western Regions now?" ”

Jiang Yu smiled faintly and said, "Yes, now the income is increasing every month." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Duan Ye grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and said softly.

And at this time, Jiangyu's tears almost fell.

In fact, Jiangyu is the first woman Duan Ye has seen in this era, and the two were the first to meet, the first to know each other, and the first to make promises.

She originally had a noble family and a rich life, but because of her appearance, it can be said that it indirectly caused her family to be ruined and the country destroyed. Despite this, she did not resent herself and chose to be with herself.

But Duan Ye was still very sorry in his heart. Moreover, over the years, in order to take care of the business in the Western Regions, it can be said that Jiang Yu has been running around all the year round, and as a result, the days of meeting Duan Ye are not as good as those of Zheyan Nalando, who met Duan Ye later.

Of course, Jiang Yu also had grievances in her heart, but the words that Duan Ye said when she took her hand worked almost better than everything. It seems that all my years of hard work have been worth it!

Under the emotion of Jiangyu, the circles under her eyes turned red, and all the women saw it in their eyes, and naturally they all felt it.

In Duan Ye's heart, it was even more complicated. What a wonderful woman, it is a great gift from heaven to have them in my life! I have no choice but to treat them better and repay their love.

"That's right, sir." Jiang Yu calmed down and said, "Recently, a strange person appeared in Qiuzi. ”

"Who?" Duan Ye was a little strange.

"That person is Zhuge Xuan!" Ayama said. ~
