In early June of the 3477th year of the Yellow Calendar, Beimang's army defeated Nanfeng City in Dayan and placed Nanfeng City under Beimang's territory.
And at noon of the same day, Emperor Dayan sent his credentials, announcing to the world that the three towns in northern Xinjiang would always belong to Beimang. However, there was no indication of the southern Fengzhou area. He even issued a letter of credence condemning it. Beimang...
When the people of Dayan learned about this imperial edict, a lot of their previous resentment over the certificate of credence dissipated, but now most of Nanfeng Prefecture has been lost, and many people have begun to doubt the Emperor of Dayan...
Fifty miles north of Yangcheng
When Li Changfeng arrived with more than 20,000 soldiers, he showed a proud smile, because as long as he entered Yangcheng, he could display his seal again.
But just when he wanted to discuss entering the city with Ma Guanxing, Ma Guanxing put forward different opinions.
"I am a general, how can I not enter the city!" Li Changfeng said angrily.
"General, don't be surprised. Luo Lingpo is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The general will respond to the general in the city, and it will definitely make it difficult for the Beimang army to attack. The general used this strategy when he defended Mengcheng before!" Ma Guanxing said quickly.
"Ma, you are a fake general. If General Li doesn't enter the city, how will the court know that we are stationed here?" Chi Yuan immediately stood up and said.
"General Chi, please don't worry. Ma will send a message to the capital now, and I will also report the general's achievements." Ma Guanxing said with a righteous face and clasped his fists.
Hearing that Ma Guanxing actually wanted to deliver the message on the spot, Li Changfeng and others no longer stopped him. After all, this was a good thing. Once he got the credit, his reward would be even higher.
Ma Guanxing took out his rice paper pen and wrote a lot of words eloquently, all of which were words of praise for Li Changfeng. As for how Nanfeng City was lost, he would not talk about it. After all, he was asked to fight against the twenty-five armies. Nonsense...
"Are you satisfied, general?" Ma Guanxing picked up the rice paper and asked.
"Yes, very good." Li Changfeng nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, I will lead an army of 20,000 to garrison Luolingpo in the east."
Ma Guanxing had no complaints about Li Changfeng recruiting his soldiers. After all, this was Xu Que's plan. If he didn't agree, the whole plan would be ruined.
Li Changfeng found that Ma Guanxing didn't react at all, and he was relieved. He was really afraid that Ma Guanxing would set him up. After all, stationing outside the city was still very dangerous. If Ma Guanxing didn't give him these veterans, he would definitely not agree to station there. To the east is Lingpo.
As Ma Guanxing turned the letter paper into a dove and flew away, Li Changfeng burst into laughter. He patted Ma Guanxing on the shoulder and said: "General Ma, although Yangcheng is small, you have a great responsibility. I hope you will not let me down." expectations."
"Don't worry, General Li. If you are in the city, we will definitely receive support from the imperial court!" Ma Guanxing clasped his fists and saluted.
Li Changfeng was very satisfied with what Ma Guanxing said. If he really waited for the imperial army to rush to help, then he would have done a great job.
After seeing off Ma Guanxing, Li Changfeng sat on the grass again, looking up at the sky.
"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general. With Ma Guanxing's handwriting, the general will be able to achieve great success." Xiao Wei knelt on one knee and said.
At this time, Chiyuan immediately kneeled down and expressed his position: "Yes, the general was stupid before, but I didn't expect that Ma Guanxing was so sensible. Not only did he leave three thousand soldiers behind, but he also reported his achievements to the general. When the army came to Nanfeng Prefecture, the general Then you can return to the court and receive rewards."
Hearing Chi Yuan's words, Li Changfeng looked at the other party with a smile: "Chi Yuan, you were selected by this general. Although we are not literary people, we are not inferior to them. After we go back and award the reward, I will give you the reward." The sixteen-room concubine will be given to you."
"Thank you, General!" Chiyuan clasped his fists and saluted again.
…
Yangcheng
As Ma Guanxing returned, Zhang Feng immediately rushed back from the city defense.
"How's it going?" Zhang Feng asked quickly.
"Don't worry, Li Changfeng didn't notice it." Ma Guanxing said with a smile.
"Great, now I can finally kill this killer with a thousand swords." Zhang Feng said through gritted teeth.
"What is supposed to come will always come, but this time I still have to thank the Xu family. Without them, Li Changfeng would never have fallen into the trap." Ma Guanxing patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder and said.
"Well, I know that when I get to Zheyang County, I will definitely come to thank the Xu family in person." Zhang Feng said solemnly.
Few people know why Zhang Feng hates Li Changfeng, and few people know Zhang Feng's real name.
But Ma Guanxing is not included in this list, because he and Zhang Feng have been playmates since childhood!
Zhang Feng's original name is Qin Feng. His father was once Qin Yuzheng, the commander of the palace guards. Before the new emperor ascended the throne, a coup occurred in the palace. No one knows the reason, but the death of his father Qin Yuzheng is inseparable from Li Changfeng. Because before his father died, he had letters sent to his family. The content of the letter pointed directly at Li Changfeng, and the Qin family in the capital disappeared, and the executioner who destroyed the Qin family was Li Changfeng!
If Ma Ning hadn't secretly saved Qin Feng, Qin Feng would have died in the destruction of his family. From then on, Qin Feng changed his name to Zhang Feng, and he and Ma Guanxing became inseparable brothers...
"How many soldiers have you recruited these days?" Ma Guanxing asked.
"There are more than 600 people who can serve as city gate captains, more than 2,000 people who can carry supplies, and only more than 200 people who can go into battle to kill the enemy..."
Hearing this number, Ma Guanxing touched his chin and felt a little embarrassed, because these soldiers couldn't hold on for long. If Li Changfeng arrived a little later, Yangcheng would probably be breached in just one stick of incense.
"The Xu family letter said that you can recruit as many as you can. If Yangcheng is really in danger, just ask for help from the top of the mountain to the west, and an army will appear." Zhang Feng reminded.
Ma Guanxing said worriedly: "Having said that, you must be strong when you are forging iron. If you simply delay time, just sacrifice Li Changfeng and the others. I am afraid that the Beimang army will seal off Luolingpo and attack us directly."
Zhang Feng naturally understands this truth, but at this time, where are they going to recruit soldiers...
Palace of Civil and Military Affairs
"Trash, they are all a bunch of rubbish. What's the use of raising a bunch of rubbish like you alone!" Emperor Zhao Kuangyu angrily accused the following officials.
"Your Majesty, calm down. The loss of the military crossing would have caused the current situation. If Your Majesty had not been wise enough to send people to garrison in advance, I am afraid that all of Nanfeng Prefecture would have fallen into the hands of Beimang." Zhang Jishu quickly came out to persuade.
"Your Majesty, I believe that in more than a month, Nanfeng Prefecture will return to my land of Great Flame." Lu Qingfeng also stood up at this time.
When it comes to finding good things, Lu Qingfeng is definitely the number one person. No matter what the situation is, he can just flatter the emperor anyway.
"Humph, you two..." Zhao Kuangyu shook his sleeves disdainfully, and his angry aura was reduced a lot, but he still said: "Although your words are good, you have a way to block the people's crowd. Mouth?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jishu and Lu Qingfeng were dumbfounded. How could they stop the people's mouths...
Just as the two were thinking about how to escape, a spiritual pigeon suddenly flew into the Wenwu Hall, and then slowly fell into Qu Zhongyi's hands.
"Prime Minister, don't you know this is a great meeting?" Zhao Kuangyu asked with a cold face.
Qu Zhongyi took a step forward and showed joy: "Your Majesty, good news, great news!"
Hearing Qu Zhongyi's words, everyone was suspicious. There could be good news at this time. Could it be that Nanfeng City has been taken back?
"What's the good news?" Zhao Kuangyu asked doubtfully.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the loss of Nanfeng City is inevitable. Beimang's army has 250,000 soldiers, while our army only has more than 40,000 soldiers. It is not easy to hold on until now, but this time the loss of Nanfeng City, It was not that the entire army was destroyed, but that Li Changfeng's tactics shifted. He led the 30,000 troops and blocked the Beimang army at the Yangcheng Pass. This letter was written by General Ma Guanxing, and it was full of admiration for Li Changfeng. He hoped that The imperial court can commend General Li Changfeng..."
When everyone heard this, everyone was startled. They thought that Li Changfeng was killed in the battle and Nanfeng City was lost... It turned out that Li Changfeng wanted to block the Beimang army at the Yangcheng Pass. This is great news. …
