Because of the pressure from his father, which prevented him from being promoted, one can imagine the anger in Hong Qingyun's heart.

Fortunately, the Hong Qing family is a scholarly family after all. Their status in the literary circle may be higher, but their influence in the martial arts circle is slightly smaller. Therefore, although Hong Qingyun is suppressed, he can still

I got some opportunities, but they were not as smooth as before.

This incident made Hong Qingyun firm in his mind to sever ties with his family. At the same time, he also understood the importance of connections and resources. Besides fighting, he also paid attention to getting to know his own connections.

Yelu Hongfei is a target candidate selected by Hong Qingyun. Of course, there are many people who want to curry favor with Yelu Hongfei. After all, in their Shuiyue Kingdom, it is not a big secret that Yelu Sect prefers Yelu Hongfei.

Come, Yelu Hongfei is naturally favored by many people.

Originally, Hong Qingyun didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with Yelu Hongfei, but this trip to Blackwater Country gave him a chance.

Yelvzong indeed had a strong preference for his second son. This time he rushed to the aid of the Blackwater Kingdom. In order to ensure the success of the operation so that his second son could make another contribution, the troops assigned to him were naturally not bad and had strong combat effectiveness.

The Shanhu camp that won the battle was the army he chose to allocate to Yelu Hongfei.

Hong Qingyun also had the opportunity to contact Yelu Hongfei. Along the way, Hong Qingyun actively acted in front of Yelu Hongfei to gain his favor.

Hong Qingyun's words really made Yelu Hongfei's eyebrows widen and the corners of his mouth raised.

"General Hong Qing's Shanhu Camp is the powerful army of our Shuiyue Kingdom. I may have to rely on you more in the future." Yelu Hongfei said.

After hearing this, Hong Qingyun immediately said solemnly: "I will go through fire and water for the second prince, no matter what!"

Mobilizing the army requires the emperor's order. Even if Yelu Hongfei is quite fond of Yelu Zong, he cannot mobilize the army privately without going beyond Yelu Zong. Naturally, Hong Qingyun does not dare to express his position on behalf of the entire Shanhu Camp. However, what he just said,

Having already expressed their attitude, Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun are not fools, so they can naturally understand the meaning.

Yelu Hongfei nodded with satisfaction, pointed to Yangyuguan in front, and said, "Let someone call the door!"

"yes!"

Then, under Hong Qingyun's order, a soldier from Shanhu Camp rode forward. When he got under the city wall of Yangyuguan, he reined in the reins and shouted to the top of the city: "People at the top of the city, listen, we are water

People from the Mountain Tiger Camp of the Moon Kingdom, His Highness the Second Highness is also in the army, please open the city gate quickly and let us in!"

"Everyone, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to open the city gate right now." A captain on duty at the top of the city said quickly and politely.

In fact, when the Shuiyue Kingdom's army just arrived, the people on the top of the city had already noticed it. They recognized the flag of the Shuiyue Kingdom at a glance and immediately called the captain on duty.

When the soldier came forward to shout, the captain on duty had just arrived. Hearing the shout from the city, he asked someone to open the city gate without any hesitation.

The Blackwater Kingdom has always been a vassal state of the Water Moon Kingdom. This relationship also makes the people of the Blackwater Kingdom feel fearful and even inferior from the bottom of their hearts when facing the people of the Water Moon Kingdom.

, this is especially obvious in the army. An ordinary soldier from the Shuiyue Kingdom dared to look at a captain from the Blackwater Kingdom, and the captain did not dare to have any objections. In terms of military strength, the two

The gap between countries is huge.

Therefore, after seeing the flag of Shuiyue Kingdom, the captain opened the door without any hesitation, and at the same time asked someone to notify the guard Zhao Guangzhi.

Because Shuiyue Kingdom and Nanping Kingdom were in two different directions of Blackwater Kingdom, the defenders in the city did not doubt the identity of the army in front of them.

Squeak!

The city gate of Yangyuguan was slowly opened, and the captain on duty who had just spoken at the top of the city had already descended from the top of the city and took the initiative to greet him.

The city gate opened, but Yelu Hongfei did not immediately let the team enter, but still stayed where they were.

"I have met His Highness!" The captain on duty came to the Shuiyue Kingdom's team and saluted Yelu Hongfei respectfully.

"Where is Zhao Guangzhi? Why didn't he come to greet His Highness?" Yelu Hongfei said condescendingly.

When he went to Nanping Country before, Yelu Hongfei passed by Yangyuguan and had a close relationship with Zhao Guangzhi, so he naturally knew Zhao Guangzhi's identity.

"Going back to Your Highness, the Nanping Kingdom's army came to attack a few days ago. The atmosphere in Guanzhong was very tense for a while. General Zhao has been busy with this matter recently, so he didn't know that His Highness has arrived. However, the general has sent someone to inform him. I believe Zhao

The general will be here soon," the captain said.

"Where are the people of Nanping at this time? How many people are there? Who are their generals?" Yelu Hongfei asked.

Yelu Hongfei came here just for this matter about the Nanping Kingdom. Now that he heard the news, he naturally wanted to ask more questions.

"Back to Your Highness, Nanping Kingdom dispatched about 400,000 to 500,000 people this time, and the leading general is Pei Yu, the guard general of Shanling Pass." The captain replied: "Nanping Kingdom's offensive is very fierce, and it seems that they want to take advantage of this situation.

Taking this opportunity, we captured Yangyu Pass, then marched straight in, hit our imperial capital, and severely damaged our Blackwater Kingdom."

"Four or five hundred thousand people?" Yelu Hongfei frowned slightly and said, "The Nanping Kingdom suffered a major defeat not long ago. Now the remaining troops in the country are only about four and a half million. Could it be that they have devoted all their strength to the country?

Come to attack you?"

Yelu Hongfei participated in the war against Nanping Kingdom last time, so he was quite familiar with the situation in Nanping Kingdom.

"But... maybe." The captain said nervously: "However, under the wise leadership of General Zhao, we repelled the enemy's attacks several times, defended Yangyu Pass, and even suffered heavy losses.

enemy."

"When did Zhao Guangzhi become so powerful?" Yelu Hongfei was quite suspicious of the captain's words.

Yelu Hongfei had met Zhao Guangzhi before. Although he didn't have any in-depth understanding, he still found that Zhao Guangzhi was a mediocre person and his ability was not considered strong.

Regarding Yelu Hongfei's suspicion, the captain didn't know how to answer. In fact, what he just said was the rhetoric they had discussed before. However, these words were originally meant for the generals who came to the Blackwater Kingdom for reinforcements.

What they listened to was now told to Yelu Hongfei.

Yelu Hongfei's identity is not comparable to that of an ordinary Blackwater Kingdom general.

While the captain was struggling to deal with Yelu Hongfei, the soldier who sent the message had already seen Zhao Guangzhi.
