Rebirth of Peach Blossom

Blazing Phoenix's urgent secret report was sent to Xudu, and soon, everyone in the world would know that Daxu's murderer was dead.The heat in Hanzhou is stronger than ever. Even standing on the ground, you can feel the steaming heat enveloping your whole body. After standing for a long time, you will feel dizzy. Cheng Wanning is not feeling well, and she hardly sleeps for a few days Endlessly, the excessive grief made her almost collapse, and she fell asleep for three full days after she passed out.

The army's murderous intent was high and full of grief and anger, but they still had to wait for the order from Xudu. The day Cheng Wanning woke up, she found that she was sleeping in Ye Ziyu's camp. There was no joy or sorrow, she twisted a string of beads with both hands, twelve beads, each as white as jade, which was worn by Ye Ziyu on her wrist with her own hands, with a "click", Cheng Wanning looked down, and the beads were indifferent. Playing with it, it actually fell apart, and the beads rolled to the ground.

She knelt down, picked them up one by one and held them in the palm of her hand, but she couldn't find any of them, Cheng Wanning didn't force her, she put the beads she found in a delicate box, and looked up at the armor hanging beside the bed , stretched out his hand.

In the main account, several generals were discussing about the next battle. They thought that not only they wanted revenge, but even Emperor Xuan would not tolerate the killing of General Daxu in disregard of Daxu's face. When Cheng Wanning walked in wearing armor, they were in a daze for a moment, as if they saw the general.

Cheng Wanning cut to the chase, and said bluntly, "I can't wait, I have to break camp tonight."

Zhu Xun frowned, "But I haven't waited for the order yet."

"The general's foreign military orders are not accepted. Although the army is grieving, its morale is extremely high. It is suffocating to avenge the general. If there is no leader to sit in the battle on the day when the order comes, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be lost. I just want to The class teacher has returned to the court. And if you send troops now, you can catch them by surprise, which is the best time." Cheng Wanning sneered, "Besides, will Emperor Xuan really let Chifeng avenge the general? The world is in chaos Four times, the people are struggling to live, I'm afraid it's because they want to win the hearts of the people and help the victims, and they don't want to spend so much money to support the army to fight. Where do you have the confidence that Emperor Xuan values ​​generals more than ten thousand people?"

The one who patted the table first was Bai Hang, "I am willing to lead the army to take down that thief King Pingxi! The general's wife is worthy of being the general's wife, what she said is very true, Emperor Xuan is afraid that it will be difficult for us to agree, and Xu will pass on the order when the time comes , We have not received it when we are in chaos!"

One of the lieutenant generals sighed, "But has Madam thought about food and grass? If Emperor Xuan doesn't want to go to war, I'm afraid he won't provide food and grass."

Zhu Xun's eyes lit up, and the always calm military commander was probably thinking of revenge, he replied before Cheng Wanning, "It's simple, just serve the enemy!" Serving the enemy is to win The enemy's food feeds his own army.After the words fell, there was silence in the tent. Now that Hanzhou is in a severe drought, it is difficult for more than a dozen cities in the surrounding area. Even if it is captured, there may be no surplus food on the other side.

However, Cheng Wanning nodded, "Presumably the military commander also thought of it. The Chifeng army forced the biggest bandits on Chihuang Mountain. The two sides have been confronting each other for some days, and no one has acted rashly. This group of bandits has a large number of bandits. They are also sophisticated, they are robbers, they are more like a regular army that has not been trained. They have been besieged for so long, but no one has fled, so I am afraid that they are not short of food."

Zhu Xun responded again and again, "I suspect that the opposite side is probably an army secretly recruited by King Pingxi, who took advantage of the drought to spread rumors that his reputation was no longer protected, and recruited troops in the name of bandits. Almost all the people were bandits. Women and children are sick and alive, but they can maximize their strength."

Speaking of this, it is a foregone conclusion to pull out the camp and send troops, but the lieutenant general who just spoke said, "But... how do you confirm that the general died of the persecution of King Pingxi? If he was not in King Pingxi's territory, then King Pingxi must have done it." .”

Cheng Wan stared sharply, "I remember your surname is Feng? You are from the Feng family? You were originally a civilian in the Ministry of War with outstanding achievements. Emperor Xuan ordered you to be transferred to the Blazing Phoenix Army?"

Hearing this, the lieutenant general named Feng Xing was horrified, "How do you know so clearly?"

Cheng Wan gazed with nostalgia, "What the general knows, I know." Looking up again, all emotions were put away, "Dark, let me ask you, another secret guard who has been following the general, Ye Yi, seems It was sent by King Pingxi, you are back, where is he now?"

After the words fell, a man in black suddenly appeared in the tent, "Go back to Madam, we were all defeated and seriously injured that day, but the other side withdrew after the general and Madam jumped off the cliff, Ye Yi, followed by disappeared, presumably It is to report back to King Pingxi."

Bai Hang slammed his palm on the table again, "Damn it! Zhuo An must have killed the general! Don't gossiping anymore, madam and the military adviser have their own plans in mind, and they have nothing to worry about. What are you afraid of going all out for?" With murderous eyes staring straight at Zhongjun Feng, Zhongjiang quickly lowered his head and stopped interrupting.

In the end, Xiao Ning and Zhu Xun led one-third of the soldiers and horses to divert the only thin river in the mountain and cut off the water source on the opposite side. Ready to set fire to the mountain.The severe drought made the mountain completely lifeless, and the only living creatures probably hid in the deep mountains, and the only ones who set fire to persecution were bandits.Once the opposite side is extremely hungry to fight back, set fire to it.

And Cheng Wanning and Bai Hang led most of Chifeng's army to attack the city.Before dispatching troops, Zhu Xun and others wanted to bury the general and move the grave back to Xudu in the future, but Cheng Wanning refused, "I want to take her with me, otherwise all this is meaningless to me, I would rather Bury her in the ground with her." Seeing this, Zhu Xun and others were not easy to stop, not to mention that the ice coffin was very strange, the general's body was well preserved, and it seemed that he was just asleep.

The army marched westward overnight, as Cheng Wanning and Zhu Xun guessed, there was no defensive force in the city, the army was like a broken bamboo, and went down three cities in a row, approaching Yanzhou.

After taking down the city, Cheng Wanning repeatedly ordered the army to be restrained so as not to disturb the people, and opened the state government's stockpile. While supplying the army, it also distributed to the desperate victims. The sick were given medical treatment, the poor were given comfort, and the hungry were given food. , to establish a new order, to revitalize the city, and some actions made the local people no longer hostile to Chifeng, and even after the news spread, the surrounding cities were eager to open the city to welcome them.

Bai Hang admired Cheng Wanning's methods, but he didn't doubt why Cheng Wanning had such methods. In Bai Hang's view, since Cheng Wanning is the general's wife, she should be so powerful.It's just that he still dislikes people who treat people in Pingxi with kindness. Bai Hang is obsessed with it. In his opinion, everything that is bad is bad, and everything that is good is good.

Cheng Wanning patiently explained, "Shu Prefecture was also captured by us, but Feng Yehan did all of the relief and appeasement. Feng Yehan is called Daxu's patron saint, while we, Chifeng, are said to be the Soul Eater Army, General We even got the title of killing, why should we bear all the killings, and let the Yanlong army take all the credit? I want the whole world to see that Xiao Yu is the real God of War and can save the world from fire and water. "Bai Hang was amazed, and from then on he only focused on fighting, leaving Cheng Wanning alone in the layout of the troops.

Surrounding Yanzhou for about half a month, Zhu Xun had already taken down the bandits. There were a lot of people, but their fighting power was far inferior to that of Chifeng's army. Now they were coming with food and grass.Cheng Wanning looked at the sand table, but felt a little uneasy. After Yanzhou, it is not impossible to retreat, but King Pingxi is still sitting in Yanzhou, and I am afraid that, as Xiaoyu guessed that day, there is something behind him.

Except for the bandits, King Pingxi also has a large army, but the part of the city that the King of Shonan allocated to him at the beginning was far away from Yanzhou, and he didn't want to let such a big piece of meat go, so he had to send troops to sit in the formation for easy management. Come on, the army dispersed, and they were no match for the full-strength attack of a tiger and wolf army like Chifeng, and if the other side came to support, they might have to wait. King Pingxi defended Yanzhou, and he would never wait for those people Reinforcements as far away as the horizon, right?If it wasn't for that batch of reinforcements, which side would it be?

After careful analysis in her mind, she gradually had a guess. Pointing to a place with her fingertips, Cheng Wanning murmured slowly, "Could it be... King Shu'an?"

******

King Pingxi's army was still not in a panic when they pressed the city. As the side that was pressing the city, it was naturally more leisurely. However, at this moment, news came from Dingnan that King Dingnan died of illness.

King Dingnan has no sons, and his only blood is the third prince Xiao Zifu. Out of reason, Xiao Zifu should inherit the throne, and Emperor Xuan's will is the same.When Xiao Zifu became Queen Dingnan, the first thing he did was to set off with the whole army and come from another way to attack King Pingxi's city, claiming to avenge his brother-in-law.And Huaiying was also in the army of King Dingnan.

Hearing the news, Cheng Wanning's dead eyes lighted up. The brilliance in her eyes, which had always been calm as if nothing had happened, was unprecedented. She looked at Bai Hang beside her, "How could I have forgotten? You can win! Ying is a miracle doctor, he can definitely heal Xiao Yu, right?"

Bai Hang, a tough man, had a look of unbearable expression on his face, but he still said the truth, "Ma'am, the general is dead."

Cheng Wanning shook her head, "The genius doctor must have the ability of a god, he will save Xiaoyu."

Along the way, the general's wife, who seemed to be stronger than anyone else and possessed thunderous means, showed the attitude of a little daughter at this time, thinking that Ye Ziyu would still be alive, so naive and stupid, Bai Hang turned his eyes away and couldn't bear to look at it again. , it turns out that all the pretending to be strong all the way is an illusion, this weak woman who seems to have grown stronger overnight, has already collapsed to the extreme, and the slightest touch will break the string and kill her!

Bai Hang looked at the closed city gate on the opposite side, and only hoped that the miracle doctor Huaiying would come later, and that the miracle doctor Huaiying would really be like the madam said, a miracle doctor who could bring the dead back to life, otherwise... the day the city breaks I'm afraid it's time for Madam to leave with the general.
