There is Fulong Mountain between Fengzhou and Yizhou. This mountain has many peaks, verdant ancient trees, dangerous mountains and rocks, flowing springs and waterfalls. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.

Fulong Mountain used to be a Buddhist mountain. In its heyday, there were more than [-] temples and nunneries on the whole mountain, and more than [-] monks.

Later, Emperor Yuan thought it was too far away to escape the summer heat, and the summer resort in the mountains gradually fell into disrepair, and this place gradually faded out of people's sight.

However, the summer resort is not so beautiful in winter, and the cold air can be felt more terrible than other places around the mountain.

Han Jing has already led his people back to Fengzhou, a mountain away from Yu She's army.

The terrain of Fengzhou is slightly higher than that of Yizhou. Once the city gate is blocked, it will be difficult for the enemy to break open by force.

Since retreating to defend this place, Yushe's army failed to attack the city six times by force.

It's just that what Han Jing and the others didn't expect was that Yu She would push Duan Wang to the front this time.

"General Han, it's not good. King Chengxi tied His Royal Highness Duan Wang to the front of the battle and asked us to open the city gate." Someone came to report in a hurry.

Han Jing's eyes froze, he picked up the saber and walked up the tower without delay.

It was dawn, and the raging cold wind was wrapped in mist and hit people's faces, which was not pleasant at all.As soon as he went up to the tower, Han Jing's face was already numb, and even when he wanted to speak, the corners of his mouth felt stiff.

In such bad weather, the enemy army tied the thinly dressed Jun Qianhe in front of the formation, and even erected a cross-shaped wooden frame so that the Da Yue army could see their little prince clearly.

Although the fog was thick, Han Jing recognized at a glance that the person tied to the cross was Duan Wangjun Qianhe.

"I've heard that King Chengxi is unparalleled in bravery. It turns out that he behaves like this. No wonder your young prince is so popular!" Han Jing shouted in a low voice while standing on the tower.

This sentence can be regarded as poking into King Chengxi's heart. Back then, the most favored person in the crown prince's dispute was the eldest brother. As a result, the elder brother died and failed to take his turn. Instead, the ministers pushed for the youngest Baili. Xu, he has not been able to swallow this breath until now.

"This king won't fight with you. General Han has to think about whether the gate of Fengzhou city will be opened or not." King Cheng Xi's face was ashen. Although he had the upper hand in this situation, he was not happy at all. Get up, "I see that your Royal Highness Duan Wang is thin-skinned, tender and frail. I'm afraid he won't be able to last long in this cold wind. It's too late. I guess what you can bring back is a corpse."

"you……"

"Don't open the door." Jun Qianhe shook her bloodless lips and shouted to the tower with the last bit of strength, "This is an order."

Han Jing is a very sensible person. Even if Jun Qianhe is the prince of Da Yue, but compared with Da Yue's life, he will still choose to sacrifice Jun Qianhe without hesitation, and Duan Wang himself has spoken.

"General, the prince won't last long in this weather." The lieutenant beside him said worriedly, "But once the city gate is opened..."

"The city gate is firmly guarded, and it is not allowed to open." Han Jing stared at Jun Qianhe who was tied up in the cold wind.

"But... it looks like it's going to snow!" Watching Duan Wang freeze to death, it was really cruel.

Han Jing ignored it, and just stood on the tower and confronted Yu Shejun.

Seeing His Highness being frozen to death, how could he bear it?But right now, there is no other way but to defend Fengzhou City.

After about a cup of tea, from Han Jing's direction, Jun Qianhe hadn't moved at all. He gritted his teeth, fearing that the words "open the door to meet the enemy" would blurt out.

King Cheng Xi seemed to be very patient. He looked up at Han Jing halfway up on his horse, with a smile on his face that was sure to win.

"General, Your Highness, is he really..."

Before the lieutenant could finish his words, there was a whoosh, and a feathered arrow pierced through the air with great momentum, and it was nailed directly to King Chengxi's shoulder blade from behind. He fell hard and fell a foot away.

Everyone was unprepared, and Yu Shejun's attention was all on the tower, never expecting that there would be trouble from behind.Faced with this change, the chaos became a mess in an instant.

Standing on a high place, Han Jing fixed his eyes on the person who caused the panic.

Bai Yu was wrapped in a heavy cloak, and with only a small team of ten behind him, he rode slowly towards this side on horseback.

Yu She Jun saw who it was, and felt relieved, but couldn't help worrying.

What's reassuring is that it's our own people who came, but what's worrying is that there will be another big battle between the two brothers when they go back.

Bai Yu looked at the Jun Qianhe who was let down from the cross, and his heart trembled suddenly, followed by a surge of anger.

He looked down at Brother Wang who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up no matter what, he bent down and pulled out the arrow that had penetrated into the flesh and blood.

"Ah~" The heart-piercing cry made Han Jing, who was far away on the tower, feel pain.

The arrow was pulled out, and King Chengxi's shoulder blade was bleeding instantly, but no one around him dared to come forward to treat him.

"If you dare to disobey orders and act without authorization, next time your head will be targeted." Bai Yu said coldly.

"You... you dare to treat me like this, so you are not afraid of being punished by your father?" King Cheng Xi gritted his teeth and turned himself over, confronting the man on horseback.

He could hold back the pain, but he couldn't bear the feeling of being stepped on in the mud.

"I've done everything, and you still ask me if I'm afraid?" Bai Yu glanced at him and turned the horse's head, "The whole army obeys the order and returns to the city quickly."

The Da Yue army who watched this "fight in the nest" didn't know what to say. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Duan Wang should still be saved!

Gu Fang guessed that Bai Yu would definitely choose to attack Fengzhou before they arrived in Fengzhou. All they could do was race against time.

Under the leadership of Gu Fang, the team of ten thousand people took only two days for the three-day journey.

When Han Jing received the news that the reinforcements had arrived, he was both surprised and happy.

If it is said that facing King Chengxi, he can still be calm and comfortable, but facing Bai Yu, he has no idea.

Yu She must also know that they have reinforcements coming, and will definitely choose to attack Fengzhou during this period.

If Bai Yu led the troops, he really wasn't sure if he could hold Fengzhou City.

Fortunately, the reinforcements came a day earlier than expected, and the stone in Han Jing's heart fell to the ground temporarily.

"General Gu." Han Jing stepped out of the camp to greet him, and saw the neat line behind Gu Fang, his eyes were a little hot.

"General Han, thank you for your hard work." Gu Fang didn't dare to recognize Han Jing at first sight, he looked like he was ten years older.

It seemed that facing Baili Xu was not easy.

"The reinforcements are here, here I..." Before Han Jing finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw the person standing behind Gu Fang, whose legs were so weak that he almost knelt down on the spot.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Gu Fang grabbed his shoulders and introduced, "These two are recruits, Zhan Qing and Jiang Tong."

Han Jing quickly understood what he meant, looked at the person behind him respectfully, and pulled Gu Fang to lead him to the handsome tent.

It wasn't until the curtain was lowered that Han Jing plopped down and knelt down in front of Jun Ruohan: "This subordinate sees the emperor, he failed to defend Yizhou, and asks the emperor to punish him."

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and Commander Han doesn't have to do this." Jun Ruo dared to step forward and help him up, "Time is running out, let us tell us about Yu She's current situation."

The four surrounded the sand table and listened to Han Jing's analysis of the current situation of the two armies.

At this time, Dayue occupies a geographical position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Coupled with the arrival of reinforcements, the strength of the troops is basically the same as that of the opponent. It is not a big problem to defend the closed state from being broken.

And Yushe, with strong soldiers and strong horses, coupled with Duanwang and Xiaobai in his hands, is sure to win Fengzhou.

"The biggest problem for Yu Shejun right now is how to open the gate of Fengzhou City. This morning, their King Chengxi used His Royal Highness Duan Wang to come down and threaten them. His subordinates dare not open the door easily. If Bailixu didn't come later, his subordinates would not be able to open the gate. I don't know how long it will last." Han Jing said, "If they use His Royal Highness Duan Wang as a hostage again, will the city gate be opened...whether it will be opened?"

"Of course it can't be opened." Jun Ruohan said, "How can someone so proud of Qianhe let us trade the safety of a city or even a country in exchange for his life? Besides, King Chengxi is notoriously cunning. Even if he opens the city gate, he will not easily throw away such a useful card in his hand."

"You said Baili Xu came later, what do you mean?" Gu Fang asked.

"It seems that King Chengxi didn't get Bailixu's consent to attack the city this time. Before Bailixu arrived, he shot King Chengxi off his horse with an arrow and humiliated him severely in front of everyone. Fan." Han Jing said.

Speaking of this, he was also quite strange, Bailixu had King Duan in his hands, but it seemed that this was the only time he really pushed people to the front of the battle to be used as hostages, and it was King Chengxi who did it.

Gu Fang curled his lips into a smile: "Isn't the most fearful thing in war is that people's hearts are not in harmony!"

He had heard about this King Chengxi, and when he came to evaluate this person at this time, he felt that he was somewhat similar to Shen Qiuyu.

It's no wonder that Bailixu's younger brother overwhelmed her with little things.

Even if Bailixu used his soldiers like a god, it would be enough for him to have a headache with Chengxi Wang, a bad guy who was eager to make meritorious deeds and show off.

"You want to attack King Chengxi?" Jun Ruohan asked.

Gu Fang nodded: "As General Han said, it is not difficult to defend Fengzhou, but Yu She's army has been occupying Yizhou, so we have to be on guard against them all the time, and we have to be wary of their attacks from time to time. Da Yue and Yu She This battle must be won or lost, otherwise they will keep trying to keep you here, which is very uncomfortable."

"My subordinates agree with General Gu's opinion that the enemy's army will penetrate deep into the hinterland of Dayue, and if it is not pulled out, it will always be a hidden danger." Han Jing said.

"Can't we send troops to go around behind them, and then flank them back and forth?" Jiang Tong didn't quite understand.

Han Jing shook his head: "Since Yushe dares to go deep into the hinterland of Dayue, the rear will definitely not be empty. Although their front line is long, there are no omissions in the rear. Besides, our troops are limited, so it is really risky to divide our troops."
