In the camp of Xianghu County, Zhuo Bailing was dressed in all the equipment and his face was extremely ugly. He really couldn't understand why he was chosen to shoot the first blow. Do the people in the southern border think that they are the best to bully? It's too much, let him go.

If you don't attack Lincheng and Lingling, which can be defended, you have to go to Xianghu to cause trouble. Although Xianghu is the only way to enter Jiangyou from the southern border, the Chong family never had any problems with Xianghu when they controlled the southern border.

Friction, and we have been living in peace for nearly a hundred years. Is this Xiao Huli crazy?

"Commander, the second master is asking for an audience outside the camp gate."

I always feel bad when someone interrupts me, and the person who came was my younger brother Zhuo Baiqing, who has been the most troublesome in my life. He is already twenty-three years old and looks good-looking, but this kid is not good at literature or martial arts.

I was doing nothing in the day, and I made a bunch of bad friends. A few days ago, I made a lot of nonsense in Yingcheng and discussed the government affairs. If it weren't for the fact that he was a son of the Zhuo family, he would have been arrested and beaten to death. The head of the family sent someone to send him to Xianghu.

It's all benevolence and righteousness. At this time, you can't just stay at home to avoid trouble and then come to the military camp with such arrogance. It's simply lawless.

"Brother, are you worried about the invasion from the south? Let's talk to me." Zhuo Baiqing, dressed in white, sat down carelessly.

"Get out of here! Who in the land of the military camp allows you to be so casual!" Zhuo Bailing looked displeased, and he couldn't help but feel angry when he looked at Zhuo Baiqing's face.

"Brother, let's talk! I heard that the leader of the southern border this time is Meng Yan who defeated Wuyang City. He should not be underestimated." Zhuo Baiqing didn't care about his brother's attitude. He was used to his brother not liking him, so he remained calm.

Sitting.

"How did you know it was Meng Yan?! Who told you?!" Although the matter of Meng Yan as the general is not strictly confidential, it will not be known to the whole city.

"Brother, you know that I have many friends in the martial arts world. I knew it was Meng Yan yesterday, and I also knew that Meng Yan's camp is located in Gushan." Zhuo Baiqing said with a smile.

"Okay! Tell me what you think." A strange look flashed across Zhuo Bailing's expression.

"I'm afraid it's a risky move for Meng Yan to set up his camp in Gushan. Big Brother should be more careful. However, if Big Brother wants to compete with Meng Yan, it's not a bad idea to have a fight or two. Meng Yan hasn't been here for so long.

Attack?" Zhuo Baiqing was not a friendly reminder. He actually hoped that his eldest brother would send troops to fight Meng Yan, so that he could take a look at the two evil spirits in the south who had become famous in the past two years. He defeated Meng Yan and captured Wuyang City.

Keep things in doubt.

"What? You want to compete with Meng Yan by yourself, right?" Zhuo Bailing knew his younger brother too well. His heart was as high as the sky. He claimed to be the world's most talented man, and Meng Yan and Xiao Yu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The Tianzong boy made him unconvinced.

"Yes, I just don't believe that he can conquer Wuyang City for a thousand years, and he also killed the old man Chongsheng. This is too mythical. I don't believe it anyway. I even suspect that Xiao Huli pushed them out on purpose.

"Yes." Zhuo Baiqing said bitterly.

"Boy, do you think he was born out of thin air? He was indeed the one who took down Wuyang. This cannot be false. Do you know that Meng Yan was originally a close disciple of Yang Boyan, Zhi Wu, and was under the command of the Dark Night Guard at a young age. Later,

In Dongyang City, he changed his name to Xuan Wu and won the title of Lord of Dongyang City for his senior brother Zhong Fan. Later, Yang Boyan betrayed him for Nantou and restored his family name." Zhuo Bailing said with a slightly mocking tone.

"Is the eldest brother afraid?" Zhuo Baiqing knew that his eldest brother looked down on him, and he was even more contemptuous when he saw that he and Meng Yan had a superiority mentality, so he could only transfer the conflict to his eldest brother.

"You don't need to provoke me. I'm not afraid of him. Although he has some abilities, he still has a young mind. The fact that he dares to put his camp in Gushan is a good proof that he is very conceited. What I'm worried about is Xiao Yu's sneak attack.

Zhuo Bailing said seriously.

"Xiao Yu? Isn't he stationed in Zhanchuan? He's so far away from us, so even a sneak attack wouldn't be possible for a while, right?" Zhuo Baiqing asked.

Zhuo Bailing shook his head and said with some helplessness: "Meng Yan placed the camp in Gushan with great fanfare, but according to reports from the front, he has been traveling frequently to and from the Qinglong Army's station in the past few days."

"This is normal. The Xuanwu Army is the main force in the southern border, and the White Tiger Army is the supplement. Is it normal for him to go to the White Tiger Army's station?" Zhuo Baiqing did not think there was anything wrong with Meng Yan's behavior.

"That's the problem. The commander of the Qinglong Army is Wang Zongqing. No matter his family background, official rank or ability, he is not enough to allow Meng Yan to go to the White Tiger Army many times. Moreover, our people found a special place in the White Tiger Army camp.

The camp is even more tightly guarded than Wang Zongqing’s tent.”

"Could it be that Xiao Huli came in person?" Zhuo Baiqing asked suspiciously, "That's not right either. My friend said that he saw Xiao Huli entertaining guests in Wuyang City two days ago."

"I guess Xiao Yu is in the White Tiger Army, otherwise Meng Yan wouldn't have made many trips back and forth." Zhuo Bailing directly expressed his thoughts.

"If Xiao Yu is also here, it seems that the stakes in the southern border are not small this time, and they are determined to win the eldest brother." Zhuo Baiqing seemed very excited. He wanted to compete with Meng Yan first, but now Xiao Yu is here too.

Well, it’s something that can happen but cannot be sought.

"If Xiao Yu is really in the White Tiger Army, then it's not certain who will be the leader this time. I have already informed the family leader about this. Let's wait for the family leader's decision." Zhuo Bailing said worriedly.

"Brother, give me a troop and I will go and clash with the White Tiger Army to test for you whether Xiao Yu is really here." Zhuo Baiqing said eagerly.

"Nonsense! Go home right now. Whether you are drinking or practicing, I don't care about you. Even if you cause chaos in Xianghu, I don't care about you. There is only one thing, don't leave the city!"

Zhuo Bailing said sternly, he found that this kid had a problem with his mind and wanted to lead the army. Isn't this asking for death? This little bastard must be locked up in the city, "Song Yan! Send the second young master back to me, give it to me

Stare him to death. If he wants to go out of town, tie him up immediately!" Zhuo Bailing felt uneasy and called his trusted guards to watch over Zhuo Baiqing.

When Zhuo Baiqing saw his eldest brother getting angry, he immediately put away his cynical attitude. He felt somewhat resentful in his heart, but he also understood that his eldest brother was trying to protect himself. The two brothers had been dependent on each other since the death of their parents. They were the children of three concubines and had always been unpopular in the clan.

He was well-received by others. In order to survive at the age of ten, he asked his old family master to be the prince's substitute. Over the years, he suffered countless injuries and almost lost his life. After the old family master passed away, the prince took over as the head of the family and became successful.

day.

After Zhuo Baiqing left with Song Yan honestly, he took out the reply from the family owner and read it again. He didn't tell Zhuo Baiqing just now because he was afraid that he would be impulsive. The family owner was very annoyed with his hesitant behavior and even suspected that he had something to do with him.

Someone brainwashed Zhuo Baiqing and asked him to deal with the invading enemies from the south within a month. Zhuo Bailing stood in front of the desk and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he clenched his fists and calmed down, calling: "Zhuo Song,

Generals, I invite you to discuss matters in the big tent!"

There are not many military officials in Xianghu County, most of them are children of the Zhuo family. Their years of stability have made them have no fear at all towards Meng Yan's invasion, and they even have some contempt for it. After learning that Meng Yan was stationed in Gushan, they felt even more

Contempt, after a discussion, someone actually came up with the wild claim that Meng Yan could be defeated with three thousand light cavalry. Not to mention that Meng Yan was not a fool, but Meng Yan's martial arts realm should not be underestimated. Zhuo Bailing's heart at this moment

It's like running past a thousand horses.

"Zhuo Song, you go to the scout camp to find some powerful characters. You personally take them to explore Gushan and Baihu Camp. You must find out the situation of Gushan Camp and Xiao Yu's situation tomorrow morning." Zhuo Bailing was very panicked and cautious.

For the sake of safety, he decided to explore again and personally led the team with his most reliable subordinate.

After the arrangements were made, Zhuo Bailing looked at the terrain of the valley and the mountains. He really couldn't figure out why Meng Yan would station troops there when it was a dead place that could be seen at a glance. What did he mean? Was he really a young man who was arrogant?

After a sleepless night, he finally waited for the news about Zhuo Song. He saw Zhuo Song walking in covered in blood. Zhuo Bailing was shocked and asked: "We were attacked?!"

Zhuo Song nodded lightly, and then said: "Commander, please rest assured that I am fine. This is the blood of enemy soldiers. I have lost the lives of six brothers. Fortunately, my subordinates are waiting for news from both sides."

"That's good. The dead brother must be buried with dignity. You eat something first and talk slowly." Zhuo Bailing pushed his uneaten meal in front of Zhuo Song.

Zhuo Song was not polite and wolfed down the porridge. After finishing the porridge, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "Meng Yan's main troops are indeed all in Gushan, and our people found that there seems to be someone from the Zhong family, and he is still a man."

The young woman seems to be of a high status."

"Woman? Didn't Meng Yan just get married? Or does she belong to the Zhong family?" Zhuo Bailing felt a little baffled. It's not surprising that there are women in the military tents. There are many women in the south who join the army. What's surprising is that a woman from the Zhong family is.

The status in Mengyan's tent must be high. The only three girls that can be thought of are the third girl of the Zhong family. The eldest girl is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tushan family. The second girl is Xiao Huli's wife. The only young woman is Zhong Roulan, the third girl of the Zhong family.

, What Zhuo Bailing didn't understand was that although Zhong was already on the same boat as Xiao Huli, he had not yet directly expressed his betrayal to the imperial court. This was a common method used by wealthy families. He couldn't figure out why Zhong Roulan appeared.

"Where is the White Tiger Army's station?" Zhuo Bailing continued to ask. He really couldn't figure it out and stopped thinking about it. The Zhong family was too far away to be able to provide substantial help.

"It should be Xiao Yu here. I saw with my own eyes that Wang Zongqing respectfully walked backwards out of the strange tent, and also saw a person. According to the information given by his family, that person should be Xiao Yu's bodyguard commander Xiao Cong. We

He was the one who found him, and after fighting with him, I confirmed that he was Xiao Cong." Zhuo Song was still frightened when he thought about it. This Xiao Cong's martial arts is close to the Ksitigarbha realm, and he has fought in the military formation, so it is really difficult to deal with him.

, if the three brothers hadn't entangled him, he might not have been able to come back.

Zhuo Bailing pounded the table hard, as if venting his dissatisfaction, "Xiao Huli is going to capture Xianghu, but he looks down on my soldiers and horses on the right side of Jiangyou. Send the order to rectify the army!"

Zhuo Song was startled by Zhuo Bailing's action of banging the table. Zhuo Bailing, who had always swallowed his anger, had never been like this even if he was looked down upon by the people in the clan. He would get angry if he saw an honest person, so he hurriedly followed the order.

The order was issued, but how to fight was a problem. Meng Yan gave him a big problem. The camp was a piece of fat, and he had already told it, but the left and right vanguards were not good at it. Ye Bohuai of the left vanguard,

Xiao Yu, who was on the right vanguard, seemed to have the weakest force on the left vanguard. It was really difficult to choose for a while. He had 50,000 troops in his hands. It would take at least half a month for reinforcements to arrive. He had no choice but to strike first and make a decision.

He came up with an idea. Five thousand men defended the city against Ye Bohuai. Thirty thousand men went directly to fight with Xiao Yu. If they won, Xiao Yu's head fell to the ground. If they couldn't win, they could just retreat. He personally led 15,000 soldiers and horses in a sneak attack.

In Meng Yan's camp, as long as the cavalry charge fast enough, set off the fire, and leave 10,000 infantry to kill the people who rush out, it will be fine.

Just as he made up his mind, he heard a loud announcement outside the tent, "Commander, Ye Bohuai, the left vanguard of the southern border, will arrive at the city in less than an hour!"

"How fast! Meng Yan finally sent out troops." Zhuo Bailing thought to himself, but this is an opportunity. Who would have thought of taking advantage of the chaotic troops to leave the city.
Chapter completed!
