Wan Qingyan and Gai Huan were speechless, they knew that they had no choice, but this feeling of sudden and unwarranted disaster was really embarrassing.

Wan Qingyan couldn't help but scold, "Everyone knows that the Shang Dynasty Sect is ambitious, and Dingzhou is leaning on the edge of Nanzhou, and it has also been moldy for eight lifetimes." ”

Gai Huan gave a sentence, "Zhou Shouxian is even more unlucky." ”

When is this, there is still a mind to talk nonsense, Xue Xiao was about to urge the two of them not to talk nonsense, when a sudden report suddenly came from outside, "My lord, the court is coming!"

"Take it!" Xue Xiao roared angrily.

The sergeant was startled, panicked, and handed over to the court for arraignment.

Xue Xiao looked at the contents of the letter and waved his hand to let the sergeant retreat.

Wan Qingyan asked: "The imperial court has a letter at this time, does it already have a countermeasure?" ”

"There is a way to deal with it, and the daylilies are cold. Xue Xiao didn't hold back his complaints, and threw the letter to the two of them again.

After the two looked at it, they found that it was the imperial court's warning to this side, saying that Nanzhou was very likely to provoke this side, so as to take the opportunity to send troops, so that Xue Xiao quickly restrained his subordinates from patience and gave the imperial court time to solve the problem.

Wan Qingyanya couldn't help but snort, "People called before they thought of reminding, what does the Imperial Court Espionage Department do?"

When something like this happened, the three people who were usually calm couldn't hold back their anger at this time.

There is no choice, it is estimated that the news sent to the imperial court here has not yet arrived, what to do or what to do, the three brothers and sisters had to leave the Assassin's Mansion together, and rushed to the battlefield as quickly as possible, and constantly ordered the army to assemble and block the Nanzhou army on the way.

The army hurried, a golden wing fell from the sky, and a secret letter soon reached Gai Huan's hands.

"Brother Xue, Brother Wan. After reading the secret letter, Gai Huan greeted.

The army continued to march in a hurry, and the three of them rode out of the ranks, and when they arrived at the side of the official road, Gai Huan handed the letter to the two of them, "I think it's strange, there are three major factions here, how can Nanzhou suddenly provoke and attack Dingzhou, and the problem of daring to love is still on the side of the imperial court." The imperial court mobilized a group of people to sneak attack the Maolu Villa, and launched a bloody battle with the defense of the Maolu Villa, but the result was missed, Cao Yu'er, the head of the Feihua Pavilion, Jin Wuguang, the head of the True Spirit Academy, and other high-level officials were arrested, and the end was extremely miserable.

Wan Qingyan scolded after reading the secret letter, "Shang Jianxiong took the wrong medicine, right? When is it not good to do it, but at this time, I don't look at the current situation of Yan Kingdom, Song and Han are eyeing each other, and the interior is empty, and they dare to make such a thing? I am considered to have served this emperor, how can I be emotionally involved in national affairs, and I can easily do this kind of thing if I am not sure? He is not afraid of trouble, but we were killed by him!"

He was really angry, and he had no respect for Shang Jianxiong in his mouth, and he was venting.

The two didn't know the specific situation of the actual battle in Maolu Villa, and they didn't know that the imperial court even dispatched Zong Yuan, the seventh master of the Dan List, was still defeated, otherwise they would have been surprised.

The dust and smoke of the army passing by, Xue Xiao, who looked at the secret letter in his hand, had a cold face, and he didn't say anything about Wan Qingyan's blasphemy against His Majesty the Emperor.

In fact, he had known about the imperial court's sneak attack on Qingshan County for a long time, much earlier than Gai Huan knew.

Shang Dynasty Sect is ambitious, there is a tiger licking its claws on the side of the couch, which is a big disaster in Dingzhou, and he is on the edge of Nanzhou, how can he Xue Xiao not pay close attention to the movements of Nanzhou.

He has already invested a lot of spies in Nanzhou, and he is always watching Nanzhou's every move.

If it weren't for that, how could those generals before arrive from all over the country so quickly and in time, it was he who summoned those generals in advance.

Although he thought that there were three major factions in Nanzhou, he should not dare to act rashly, but he still did not dare to be careless and wanted to make preventive preparations in advance.

However, the reaction was still too slow, he didn't expect that as soon as Maolu Villa was attacked, Nanzhou would immediately take action, and even despite the fact that most of Nanzhou's men and horses were not in place, the border defenders couldn't wait to do it directly.

Before the troops were assembled in place, the main attacker hurriedly started, how could there be such a fight in a war, it really caught him off guard.

However, he knows what the court has done, to be precise, it is a good thing that Shang Jianxiong has done, especially if he messes things up, he has no way to say it to outsiders.

He knew that Dingzhou was affected by a wrong decision by Shang Jianxiong, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

This kind of sneak attack, if Shang Jianxiong succeeds, it will be His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom and decisiveness, if he misses and messes up, it will be another matter, His Majesty the Emperor is stupid!

At this time, how dare he add fuel to the fire, obviously he was implicated, but he could only be provoked by his poor discipline and his failure to restrain his subordinates, so that his subordinates did the stupid thing of robbing the women of the Shang Dynasty.

He is the one who can't say what he has suffered, he can push the responsibility on whoever is in the court, and he has seen a few courtiers who dare to push the responsibility on the emperor's head, and he is almost impatient to live!

......

Yanjing Ouchi, inside the imperial study, quiet!

The three elders of Xiaoyao Palace, Zijin Cave, and Lingjian Mountain who were sitting in the imperial palace appeared in the imperial study together, and they all stared coldly at Shang Jianxiong behind the case.

Shang Jianxiong looked at the complaint letter in his hand, and Niu Youdao and Shang Chaozong's letter of complaint to the three major factions were transferred here.

The three elders are here, on behalf of the three major factions, to find Shang Jianxiong to explain.

There were also a few more eunuchs in the imperial study, Tian Yu was guarding Shang Jianxiong's side, and the few eunuchs standing on both sides of the room occasionally showed their eyes, as if they were secretly vigilant against the three elders.

"Your Majesty, have you read it, what you said in the letter is true, is there such a thing as a sneak attack?" an elder asked in a deep voice.

Shang Jianxiong put down the letter in his hand and said with a solemn expression: "Don't hide it from the three, the widow has just received the news about this matter, and is confirming the situation, and has issued an order to Nanzhou, so that Nanzhou will escort the sneak attacker to the capital for interrogation." ”

The elder sneered, "In other words, His Majesty doesn't know?"

Shang Jianxiong said in a deep voice: "The three elders can rest assured, this matter will definitely be investigated, and the three major factions will definitely give an explanation!"

Another elder said, "Your Majesty's body, since you have said so, we can't force Your Majesty. However, there is no basis for what you say, and it is better for Your Majesty to write it down, and it is good that there will be a proof when the matter is found out in the future!"

"Not bad!" the other two nodded.

Shang Jianxiong frowned slightly.

Tian Yu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what else do you have to worry about, let Your Majesty write a testimony, is it a bit too much? ”

The elder who had always kept his face calm said indifferently: "Brother Tian, one yard is one yard, and we don't embarrass Your Majesty, but Your Majesty can't embarrass us either! What is the situation now? Our palace master is furious, and His Majesty's casual words are so perfunctory and relayed, and if it is not clear, we can't make a difference!"

The three of them were resolute, and Shang Jianxiong had no choice but to write three letters to the three of them and send them back for the errand, so they sent the three away.

As soon as the three of them left, Tian Yu waved his hand, and several eunuchs in the imperial study also quietly retreated.

Shang Jianxiong, who was sitting behind the case, grabbed the case with one hand, and ravaged a piece of paper on the case, His Majesty the Emperor was forced to write a testimony, and he was called a nest of fire in his heart, but he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

"Report!" a eunuch at the door handed a secret report in both hands.

Tian Yu took a look at it, his face was obviously surprised, he turned around and walked quickly to the front of the case, and stopped talking for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation from the Espionage Department, Nanzhou has sent troops, the vanguard has entered the territory of Dingzhou, and the defenders on the border of Dingzhou have been killed, and it is difficult to stop the Nanzhou soldiers!"

Shang Jianxiong's eyes widened instantly, his face was full of disbelief, he suddenly got up, and dragged the secret letter to his hand to quickly check it.

"Report!" another eunuch with a secret report appeared at the door.

It can really be said that it is not a single line, the house leak happened to rain overnight, Tian Yu took a look at the secret letter, and found that it was an urgent report from Xue Xiao, the assassin of Dingzhou.

The letter detailed the matter of sending troops to attack under the pretext of Nanzhou's provocation, and repeatedly stated that Dingzhou's defense was empty and unstoppable, so he urgently asked the imperial court for help!

After Shang Jianxiong saw it, he trembled with anger, "Chaotic ministers and thieves! Chaotic ministers and thieves! Why didn't the widow know that he had recruited three new concubines?"

Tian Yu said sadly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to report the concubines of the central government, the excuse is not how to make it up, he has to say yes, the defenders of Dingzhou have indeed done something wrong, and it can't be explained, so it's better to deal with it urgently!"

"You can be fooled so easily? You have been caught! Xue Xiao, that idiot, how did he discipline his subordinates, and the officers and soldiers were able to pretend to be masked bandits to kill people and steal goods, it was simply a big joke in the world! This reason, there is no place to put the face of the widow, do you want to tell the people of the world that this is the court officers and soldiers of the widow?"

Shang Jianxiong roared angrily, sat back on the chair in anger, almost vomited blood in anger, and panted: "Unfortunately, the big man and thief really took the opportunity to provoke... It's still prescient, quick, ask the big boss to discuss how to deal with it!"

......

In the border area between Nanzhou and Dingzhou, a large number of men and horses rushed to Dingzhou to participate in the battle.

"Drive, drive, drive......"

The rumbling movement of iron hooves even shook the earth, the dust and smoke were billowing, and countless cavalry could not see their heads at a glance, and the heroic warriors rushed into the territory of Dingzhou like a long dragon.

On the side of the road in front of him, a carriage, several generals surrounded the wheel, Meng Shanming sat on the wheel and pointed to a map to the generals.

Niu Youdao's follow-up letter to Shang Chaozong said that this battle should be fast, and the complaint letter to the three factions is not only a complaint, but also delaying the time of the three major factions, and it is necessary to open up their appetite before the three major factions officially intervene, and grab as much territory as they can grab!

The request is repeated as a fast, fast, fast!

In order to fight quickly, the Shang Dynasty clan sent Meng Shanming to personally command the battle, giving Meng Shanming the power to cut first and then play, so as to avoid wasting time by asking for instructions back and forth.

In order for Meng Shanming to be on the front line of the battlefield and speed up the reaction time of the command, Niu Youdao did not hesitate to dispatch five birds to rush to the capital city of Nanzhou and directly took Meng Shanming over.

The attack of the Nanzhou vanguard began very smoothly, and the opponent was defeated, but as time passed, the Dingzhou men and horses who had awakened gradually gathered to resist, and the shortcomings of the Nanzhou vanguard were exposed, and the offensive was blocked.

Although the speed at which the heroic warriors arrived was fast, the speed of the infantry could not keep up, and it was simply not possible to rely on cavalry to attack the city and plunder the land.

Meng Shanming immediately found another method of warfare, and without waiting for the large troops in the rear, he took the idea of the nearby defenders, and ordered the nearby defenders to advance and assemble layer by layer.

The nearest defenders threw down the guards, and left all the guarding tasks alone, just one thing, and rushed at full speed.

The guarding tasks of any county town and county town were thrown to me and handed over to the last group of people to arrive.

In this way, the soldiers in the radiation range of the layers are constantly coming, although it is not guaranteed that a large number of people and horses can be quickly assembled, but it ensures that there is a steady stream of people and horses to be transported into the territory of Dingzhou to cooperate with the offensive of Yingyang Wuliewei.

As for provisions! At this time, Meng Shanming had no mercy when he went to the battlefield, and he used war to replenish supplies, and after conquering the city, he was allowed to loot on the spot!
