Obviously, according to Kou Feng's plan and the character that Kou Feng expressed, Dong He believed that Kou Feng's army was already on the way, and he only needed to hold on for a little longer.

It can be compared to the arrival of the army of Chu in the land of Nanzhong. But Dong He's character is not one who sits still.

Even though he knew that there was rescue, Dong He still didn't want to put his hope only on rescue.

Dong He's eyes flickered, and then he took out a blank bamboo slip from the desk and began to write.

"Get Chen Xiong."

After the letter was written, Dong He raised his head and said.

Not long after, a middle-aged man hurriedly came to Dong He's study. This man looks ordinary, and he belongs to the kind of character that you will forget after seeing it.

The man's name is Chen Xiong, and he is a confidant of Dong He.

After entering the study, it didn't take long for Chen Xiong to leave. It's just that when I left, I had an extra roll of bamboo slips in my hand.

That night, the moon was gray and visibility was poor.

In a relatively remote place in the south of the city, Chen Xiong carried a roll of bamboo slips in his arms and went down to the city with a rope. When his feet touched the ground, Chen Xiong immediately rushed towards the south.

The southern army besieged Yunnan by adopting the strategy of four bread raids. An army of 50,000 was planted in all directions. Because of the exact news of Kou Feng's return to the east.

The offensive of the great army was phased, sometimes attacking, sometimes outflanking. Obviously, he was not in a hurry to pull out Yunnan, and even had the purpose of expecting the city defenders to surrender.

The camp in the south of the city is the place where Yongchang personally supervised the formation, and there are 20,000 horses.

Because he was not in a hurry to attack Yunnan, the atmosphere of slaughter in the camp was actually not strong. However, Yongchang is still a good commander, although the spirit of slaughter is not strong, and the soldiers do not seem to have adapted to the battlefield.

However, the vigilance is not bad, and the defense of the battalion is absolutely unambiguous.

So while the sky is gray. But Chen Xiong, who did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, was immediately discovered by the soldiers guarding the camp.

"Who?"

In the darkness of the night, loud shouts were heard.

Immediately, the soldiers at the gate of the camp were on high alert, their arrows wound, and their blades pointed forward.

"The people in the city who are in the heart of the king of the south have brought news from the city to the king of the south, and please report it." Chen Xiong said slowly and calmly.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Xiong's abruptness is still alarming. But his words also made the soldiers let down some of their guard. After the leader Du Bo said a word, he immediately turned around and went to the camp.

Soon after, it reached the outside of the Chinese army's big tent.

"Please also inform the king of the south that there is a person outside the camp who claims to be from the city and offers news of the city." Nadubo bowed to the guards guarding the tent of the Chinese army.

"Wait." The guard nodded his head and walked in.

In the big tent, Yongchang was still asleep. Kneeling on the handsome seat, holding a bamboo slip and reading at night in the slightly dim light.

"King, there's news outside the camp." The guard said to Yong Changshu, and then repeated Nadubo's words.

"City people?" Yong Yan's face showed a little strange color, and then, he put down the bamboo slip and said, "Please come in." ”

"No." The guard said yes, turned around and walked out.

It was a long time after the guards left that Chen Xiong was brought in.

"The little one meets the King of the South." As soon as he entered the big tent, Chen Xiong immediately saluted Yongchang.

"What news do you have for the widow?" Yong Yan first glanced at Chen Xiong a few times, but didn't see any special place, and then asked with a smile.

Widows? It's really an ancient and noble self-title.

Chen Xiong sneered slightly in his heart.

Widowed. The self-proclaimed kings of the princes. For example, Kou Feng and other Chu Dukes, Wei Dukes, Yan Hou, Liang Hou, etc., have insufficient status, and can only claim to be lonely. Later, if he becomes king, he can call himself a lonely king, or a widow.

And Yongchang first claimed to be the king of the south, and then claimed to be a widow.

I really want to climb to the sky in one step. Obviously, the news of Chu Jun Koufeng's return to Xiangyang boosted Yongchang's arrogance. And it is a big boost.

"The officers and troops have begun to run out of food, and Tai Shou Dong He has already planned to lead his troops to break through. But our big people in the city don't want to go back to the north. So I told him frankly that I wanted to conspire with the king. ”

Chen Xiong hugged his fists.

"Oh?" Although Yongchang sighed, there was no surprise on his face. Ever since he learned that someone had brought news from the city, Yong Chang had already guessed a few points.

Now Chen Xiong just confirmed his expectations.

Kou Feng newly obtained Shuzhong and returned to Xiangyang in a mighty way. There is no one who governs the city and is monolithic, and there are always a few winds that blow the grass on the walls that fall on both sides.

Especially the big ones.

"I wonder what forces in the city do the strong men represent?" Yong Chang didn't have much doubt in his heart, but he still asked.

"The two kings of Yunnan."

Chen Xiong came this time to paralyze Yongchang, and the preparation was naturally very abundant, and he said without thinking.

"Two kings."

Yongchang's eyes flashed a little clear, there are many big clans in Nanzhong. Among them, the largest clan in Yunnan City is the two kings. These two great families have been officials for generations.

It can't be on the table in the whole Shu, but it is the second hegemon in Yunnan City. Now that the southern army is pressing the border, in order to protect the clan, it is natural to make small moves behind Dong He's back.

Yongchang actually knows Dong He well, but it is only limited to Dong He's administrative ability. I didn't know that Kou Feng's return to Xiangyang was just confused, and Hei hinted that Yi Dong and presided over the situation in Nanzhong.

There is no such thing as Dong He's status in the Chu State now, as well as Dong He's own fortitude and courage.

could have waited for reinforcements, but he had to make a big move in private and plot to punish Yongchang, the king of the south.

Therefore, in Yongyan's expectation, the city of Yunnan is in panic. Chen Xiong's words also have a lot of credibility.

"Yes, Second King. This is my handwritten letter from my grandfather, Wang Xing. Chen Xiong nodded his head and took out a roll of bamboo slips from his waist, which was the letter written by Dong He, and handed it to Yongchang.

Yongchang stretched out his hand to take it, and then began to take a closer look. The letter was earnestly spoken, implying submission to the king of the south. Conspiracy to conquer Yunnan.

"Okay, you go back and tell your master. When Yunnan is breached, the widow will make your lord the Taishou of Yunnan and the Marquis of the North. After reading it, Yongyan smiled with satisfaction, looked up at Chen Xiong and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Xiong thanked him, and then said, "The little one will go back to his life first." After finishing speaking, Chen Xiong immediately turned around and left.

"Kou Feng, Kou Feng, maybe you are extremely capable. Relying on the so-called benevolence, the situation in Shuzhong was stabilized in a short period of time. But Nanzhong is remote and a land of widows. How can you be ironclad and loyal to the state of Chu? This Yunnan city is widowed. After Chen Xiong left, Yongchang said with a happy expression.

The so-called people are in good spirits when they are happy. He is called king, and he calls himself a widow. set up hundreds of officials, which made Yonglu a little fluttery recently. In my heart, I despised Kou Feng more and more.

His land is only in Nanzhong, but he dares to claim the title of king. Claiming to be a widow.

But what about Kou Feng? It is located in the southeast, occupying Jingchu, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou, but he still does not dare to be the king, but he is only called the king of Chu from above.

There is power, but there is no courage.

Yongchang's heart despised Kou Feng for this. In addition, today, the big clans in Yunnan City have surrendered to him.

"Come on, let the soldiers rest. Three days later, the city was attacked. ”

Yong Chang was relaxed for a moment and ordered.

According to the letter, the army was running out of food, and the two kings would choose to rebel after three days. It was a great opportunity for their southern and central armies to conquer Yunnan.

Before that, it was natural to recuperate.

"No." Outside the door, a response sounded.

"Yunnan City is about to be conquered. Now that Kou Feng is on his way back to Xiangyang, is he uniting with Meng Shu and leading a large army to attack Shuzhong? ”

After the order was issued, Yongkuo's heart was still active, and he had already thought of how to conquer Shuzhong.

……

In the city, in the study of Tai Shouyi.

Dong He still sat on his knees, and he didn't read, but just closed his eyes and recuperated. After Chen Xiong left, he began to close his eyes and recuperate. As one of the few talents with outstanding ability in Shu.

Dong He is actually not a person who likes to sit still.

What's more, although the so-called Southern King Yongyan is powerful, his ability to command troops may not be outstanding. In addition, according to Dong He's information, Yongchang's army was conscripted in the last few months.

Like a snowball, it swelled.

After the Chu State's Zhongjun Army was subdued by the original Shu army, it also had to undergo strict training. It only took a few months to recruit a group of new recruits who had been trained.

In Dong He's view, Yongkuo's army is not a strong soldier at all. The only thing that worries people is that the Han people in Nanzhong have a special fierceness because they live with Nanban all year round.

It's just a headache, and nothing else is a cause for concern.

The strongest army in the south was still the 80,000 barbarians of Meng Shu. And this time, it was Yongyan who led his Han army to attack, which gave Dong He an opportunity.

Yongchang may have wanted to establish his prestige in the army in a hurry, so he led the newly established army to attack Yunnan. Maybe it's because I'm starting to be wary of Meng Shu.

But it doesn't matter what the reason is. gave Dong He a chance.

"An army of 50,000 besieges the city, and I should break it with 5,000 elite soldiers." Dong He opened his eyes, his eyes flashed with wisdom and courage, and he let out a sneer.

"Report to your lordship, Lord Chen Xiong is back." At this time, the guards outside the door came in to report.

"Biography." Dong He's spirits perked up and he ordered.

"No." The guard said yes, turned and walked out. A moment later, Chen Xiong walked in from outside.

"How's it going?"

Dong He asked.

"Yong Boudoir believed."

Chen Xiongshu said. Saying that, Chen Xiong told Dong He about the meeting with Yongchang.

"Yongchang was originally a capable person, but now he is already hungry for profit. Known as the king of the south, claiming to be a widow? In this way, he can compete with Chu Jun for the male son? Joke. ”

Dong He heard the sneer on his face even more powerful.

"Hang up the handsome banner of my general Lang Nan Zhonglang and gather the elite soldiers in the city. I'm going to attack Nanying at night. After finishing speaking, Dong He stood up and said.

"No." Chen Xiong promised when he heard this.
