The home of the heart of Langya Bang

wedge

Dongyue, Jinling.

"Report, General Wei Zheng has captured the commander of the East China Sea Navy, and the East China Sea surrendered the form..."

"Report, General Yuan Peng led his troops to wipe out more than ten thousand enemies, and Ye Qin retreated to the defense..."

"Report, Princess Nihuang has broken through the Southern Chu Fuhu formation..."

"Report, Marshal Nie dispatched a surprise army, intercepted Beiyan's military reserve, trapped Tuoba in Qianling..."

In the court hall, happy news spread frequently, and everyone was very happy.

"Is there still no news about Meng Shuai?"

All the good news is not as good as a piece of news from Dayu that can reassure the prince of the prison country.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and were speechless for a moment.

The court hall was surprisingly quiet, and people's minds seemed to drift to the north thousands of miles away following this question.

——————————————————————————————————

This year's winter came a little later than in previous years. Although there were more snowfall days, the temperature was like early autumn.

The sky is always gray, and the sun seems to be blocked by layers of clouds.

Leaving Jinling, Meng Zhi and Mei Changsu commanded [-] troops in Yanzhou, which had fallen.Along the way, hunger, food and thirst, night travel and overnight stay, finally set up camp ten miles away from Yanzhou.

"Brother Su, Brother Su, save me, Brother Su!" Fei Liu tossed and jumped on the tent.While avoiding Lin Chen, who was forcing him to perform a puppet show with a broom, he asked for help from Mei Changsu, who was discussing matters in the tent.

"Haha, Xiao Feiliu, don't run away, show your brother a puppet!"

"Oh, what time is it, Pavilion Master Lin Shao is still in the mood to quarrel with Fei Liu!" Zhen Ping said angrily.

It has been more than ten days since he came to Yanzhou. Relying on the abundant local reserves, Xuanshuo either refused to fight with a high number of exemption cards, or sent the No.5 in the Langya master list - Chai Ming, out to fight for dozens of rounds and then returned to the city.Meng Zhi and the generals were so anxious that they rubbed their hands and stamped their feet, and fried their stomachs enthusiastically, like ants on a hot pan.

"Xiao Shu, you're just talking. After ten days, this Xuan Shuo is clearly trying to drain us!"

Meng Zhi looked at Mei Changsu who was sipping tea leisurely, and asked anxiously.

"Brother Meng, sit down, come and taste this cup of tea, do you still like it?"

"Hey, I said Xiaoshu, what's wrong with you? Ever since you came here, you either walked along the river or watched the stars at night. Tell me, what should we do?"

"What should I do? Wait!" Mei Changsu smiled slightly.

"Brother Meng, wait another two days!"

"Xiao Shu, you, alas!" Meng Zhi didn't know what kind of medicine Mei Changsu was selling, he sighed, shook his head and left the tent.

"Zhen Ping, have Liu Bing and the others arrived?"

"It's coming soon, I think it will be there in the evening."

"Okay, they are here, let's start working according to my order today!"

Cold moon and cold stars, winter night, quiet and cold.Ever since Mei Changsu left Jinling, even if he was resting, his soft armor never left his body.He likes the feeling of armor on his body too much. 14 years, a full 14 years.Ever since the battle of Meiling, when he became the helpless Mei Changsu who had been surrounded by furs and stoves all day long, only these few days did he seem to have returned to the way he was when he was Lin Su.

"Sect Master, you should rest for a while."

Li Gang looked at Mei Changsu's red eyes. Although the complexion of Sect Master Mei was indeed much better these days, and he was no longer afraid of the cold, but, after all, he couldn't sleep peacefully every night after being here for the past few days. , which is really worrying.

"You let him rest?"

Lin Chen patted Li Gang's shoulder lightly with the folding fan.

"You'd better go back to sleep by yourself! If he doesn't figure it out tonight, his heart won't sink!"

"I said Chang Su, do you have to dismantle the signboard of my Langya Bang to be satisfied?"

Although it was a joke, everyone couldn't see the slightest hint of a smile in Lin Chen's eyes.

"It's time." Mei Changsu said flatly.

"What do you mean? Xiaoshu, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

Monk Meng Zhizhang was puzzled.

"Chang Su, just tell them. How about I tell them for you?"

Perhaps Lin Chen's favorite thing to repeat in his life is what Mei Changsu said.Ever since Wei Zheng brought Bingxucao back and tried to get Lin Chen to save his suzerain, after Lin Chen told Wei Zheng and the others the morality in Mei Changsu's heart that it was impossible for him to sacrifice his own life, he made up his own mind from time to time. He told everyone what Mei Changsu meant, and consciously became Mei Changsu's spokesperson for no wages.

Seeing that Mei Changsu didn't make a sound.Lin Chen naturally became impolite.

"Everyone knows that Yanzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Some time ago, if the spies of Dayu had not infiltrated the city, how could this good Yanzhou city have missed?"

Everyone nodded slightly.

"Right now, Xuanshuo is guarding the city with a heavy army. Our troops are not strong enough. A forced attack will inevitably cause heavy damage. Xuanshuo's marshal is not in vain. This old boy is also No. 1 in Dayu. --Xuan Bu is his own younger brother. Although he is not as good at martial arts as his younger brother, in terms of strategy, he may belong to him except for Xiao Shu and the dead Xia Jiang."

"so,……"

"So, you can't attack by force, you can only outsmart! Haha, am I right? Xiao Shu?" Meng Zhi hurriedly asked as if enlightened.

"Well, outsmart, it depends on what kind of outsmart it is." Lin Chen gave Meng Zhi a white look, and continued.

"Yanzhou City is as solid as gold, and there are mysteries in the moat. Commander Meng, you only saw Xiao Su walking along the river. Do you know what Xiao Shu is planning?"

"I don't know." Meng Zhi shook his head hastily.

"Could it be swimming over? Sneak attack?"

"Swim over? Hehe, before you can swim over, your body will become a sieve!" Lin Chen sneered.

"This moat used to have organs at the entrance to the city. The four city gates in the southeast, north, and west had copper nets extending 500 meters in succession. There were copper bells on the copper nets. If people didn't check, they would touch the copper bells. The hidden hooks and cold arrows in the middle will be fired together."

"Ah? There are other things like this?" Meng Zhi and the others couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when they heard this.

"Actually, the copper grid array in the moat was designed by Mr. Lin!"

Lin Chen's adoring eyes fell on Mei Changsu who was still staring at the map.

"14 years ago, when the troops from Dayu came to attack, as a way of retreat, Mr. Lin took advantage of Yanzhou's geographical advantage to set up this plan. However, for some reason, this kid Xuanshuo knew the secret of the river. That's why Xuanshuo deliberately called out. Even if they come out, they don’t fight us, they just want to lure us across the river to annihilate them! Moreover, the mechanism of the copper net has been changed, and even Chang Su himself doesn’t know how the current mechanism is broken, so he can only fly pigeons to him in the league. Experts from the agency are here to help."
