far away.
Red Flame Army Central Army.
Wu Mian also looked at the catapults and said to Yan Jinong beside him:
"I was a little worried at first, but now I know that this catapult was designed by him."
"Wang Zheng Jinzhong is hiding it very well!"
"I should have thought that he was still alive. After all, how could a man with such great wisdom die so easily."
Yan Jinong pondered for a moment, "But he entered the stage of forgetfulness."
Wu Mian raised his eyebrows: "As long as you are still alive, there is always a way to come out again."
"For example...the fireworks brought by Changsun Hongyi's three thousand Wind Guards and An Zizi's five hundred Tiger Battalion soldiers."
"I originally thought they were going to attack Wu State's Dongxu City, but now I know they were going to blow up the mountain!"
Wu Mian smiled slightly:
"Although they have to take a long detour, they have been away for more than two months. If they were not exposed, they would have sneaked to the north of the peaks of Jianshan Mountain... That place is deserted, but An Zizi is there to lead the way... You know An What Fatty is best at is surviving in the wilderness."
"He will come out of the stage of forgetfulness!"
"Now, let's fight this battle well and show this new border guard general the power of the fireworks thrown by the catapult!"
Yan Jinong nodded, "I don't know what kind of enmity the prince of Wu State had with General Gou Zhong, but he actually exchanged Xia Li... By the way, the Condor Army led by Gou Zhong was in Wu State. The northwest border is defended by the Uighur army."
"Changsun Hongyi and An Zi are going to the east of Wu State. If they don't go through Wuya Pass, they must pass through Xihuo Prefecture in the northwest of Wu State... That place is Gou Zhong's lair. Will they be in danger? ?”
Wu Mian pondered for a moment and looked at Wuyaguan, which was still shrouded in mist.
"Xihuo Prefecture has a vast territory with many mountains and rivers. They only have about 3,500 people. With Fatty An's ability... I guess it won't be too difficult to avoid Gou Zhong's spy."
Wu Mian had no confidence when he said this.
Because Wu’s Divine Eagle Army is as famous as Ning’s Divine Martial Army and Yue’s Divine Strategy Army.
These three names with the word "god" were all inherited from the Dali Empire thousands of years ago!
The State of Wu also has an extremely powerful intelligence agency, the Central Intelligence Agency!
Thirty-five hundred people were not many, and it was almost impossible to leave no trace.
But An Zizi and the others also have their advantages. These 3,500 people are very skilled and have excellent maneuverability.
It would not be easy for Gouzhong to catch their tails in the mountains, rivers and jungles.
Yan Jinong was still very worried, but he was worried, but he had no way to support An Zizai and the others. He looked at Wu Mian and asked:
"After retaking Wuya Pass, should we defend or... attack next?"
Wu Mian did not answer.
He turned to look at the Divine Guards in the distance, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
This private army came from Shuzhou and belonged to the Zhongli Mansion. Their leader was Yuan Su, also known as Mr. Yuan San!
He was once a hussar general of the Shenwu Army!
This 50,000-strong Divine Guard Army was originally supposed to guard Shuzhou, but due to the rebellion of the Red Flame Army, the emperor's eldest son Xiao Wu used the Peach Blossom Order to transfer him here.
Xiao Wu ascended the throne as emperor and was not at ease with the Red Flame Army.
He ordered the Divine Guards to be stationed in the Yudan River Plain, monitoring the Red Flame Army's every move, and also intending to supervise the battle.
If he hadn't had some friendship with Mr. Yuan, I'm afraid the old general would have put a gun to his back and ordered the Red Flame Army to attack Wuyaguan.
A few months ago, Yuan Su suddenly told himself that he had received an order to withdraw his troops to Shuzhou.
They had already left, but just five days ago, Yuan Su sent someone to deliver a letter to him.
It is said that the Divine Guards have received orders again and are returning to the Yudan River Plain to assist the Red Flame Army in retaking Wuyaguan.
This is very strange, because the Ministry of War did not inform itself in writing.
Wu Mian is worried about only one thing now——
Will the new emperor kill the donkey?
After capturing Wuyaguan, will he order the Shenwu Army to destroy the Red Flame Army?
Now there is a turning point in this matter. Li Chenan is not dead.
All these actions of the new emperor are to avenge the regent Li Chenan. Since he is not dead... after the capture of Wuyaguan, he will most likely face a crazy counterattack by the Wu army, so it makes sense for the Red Flame Army to stay.
If the Red Flame Army attacks Xiayuan Prefecture of Wu State again...the Divine Guards defend Wuya Pass...the Red Flame Army encounters the army dispatched by Wu State in Xiayuan Prefecture. In order to protect Wuya Pass, the Divine Guards There will definitely be no rescue.
Then the Red Flame Army becomes a lone army!
On the territory of Wu State, a lone army without backup...
"Why……"
Wu Mian sighed, "Conquer Wuyaguan first. As for the rest, we'll see later."
…
…
The rear camp of the Red Flame Army.
Wang Zhengjinzhong and Xiao Wu sat opposite each other.
He looked at Xiao Wu and asked in a low voice: "After this battle, is it time for the Divine Guards to be transferred back to Shuzhou?"
Xiao Wu played with the dark peach blossom token in his hand. After a while, he put down the token, picked up the pen, and wrote a line on the paper:
"I think the Divine Guards will no longer listen to my orders."
Wang Zheng was startled, "...What does this mean?"
Xiao Wu smiled slightly and wrote again:
"Yan Jidao took Yan Zifu back to Changle Palace. I saw the medicine and knew that Chen An was not dead."
"Yan Jidao told me that the Red Flame Army's crime of rebellion will not lead to the death of the entire army!"
"He also told me that the current Red Flame Army is united and united, and they just want to take back Wuya Pass to make up for their past mistakes."
"So, I asked Eunuch Xiao to take this token and the imperial edict I wrote... The first imperial edict I wrote in my life was quickly delivered here and handed over to the commander of the Divine Guards, Yuan Su."
"After Yuan Su received the order, he had already led his team back to Shuzhou... I didn't expect that they were still here!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong's eyes widened. He looked at the Peach Blossom Token in Xiao Wu's hand, "This is a bit strange. I went to see Yuan Su a few days ago and asked him why he left and came back."
"He also showed me a similar Peach Blossom Order. He said... the order he received was to return here and assist the Red Flame Army in capturing Wuya Pass!"
Xiao Wu frowned slightly.
In this way, the Peach Blossom Token is not the only one in my hand!
Who gave the order to the Divine Guards?
What do the Divine Guards want to do?
Wang Zhenghaoxuan was suddenly shocked. The Divine Guards were the private soldiers of Zhongli Mansion!
The peach blossom order was made by Mrs. Fan herself!
There are actually two peach blossom tokens...
He took a breath, "Could it be that...she is still alive?"
Xiao Wu grinned, shook his head, and wrote: "I don't know, but some things are too coincidental."
Wang Zheng Jinzhong pondered for a few breaths, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What if the Divine Guards have evil intentions...?"
The smile on Xiao Wu's face slowly faded, and his clean eyes turned as cold as ice.
He wrote another line:
"I have deployed a lot of confusion in Changle Palace!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong nodded and thought for a moment, "If she is really still alive, the female sword... is probably in her hand!"
"But this matter...Li Chenan was trying to save Zhongli Ruoshui's life. If she used that female sword to enter the Wangqing Platform to kill Li Chenan...with her great master's strength, she would have killed Li Chenan long ago. It doesn't make sense!"
"In addition, she is practicing the Frost Condensation Technique. Once she goes in, she can't come out..."
"What on earth is she going to do?"
Xiao Wu thought for a while and wrote:
"If she had waited for Li Chenan to master the Fu Er Zhou Tian Jue and cured Zhongli Ruoshui, she would have killed Li Chenan..."
Wang Zhengjinzhong shook his head: "Li Chenan must be a husband and wife if he wants to cure Zhongli Ruoshui."
"Li Chen'an is her grandson-in-law, the grandson-in-law of a great master, and a grandson-in-law with all the power in the world. This is of great benefit to the Zhongli Mansion."
"Why did she kill him?"
"Are you crazy?"
Xiao Wu is confused.
Wang Zhengjinzhong also couldn't figure it out.
But after a moment, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
He thought of the small dark box that Changsun Jinghong buried under the crooked neck tree in the Imperial City Division!
There is a lot of paper inside.
There are a few incomprehensible words written on one of the pieces of paper -
"Every beautiful thing is always dangerous, like peach blossoms!"
"Yinyue Pavilion, promised in Peach Blossom Spring!"
"But she appeared out of thin air, with no roots or origins!"
