Canghuan Seven Palaces

It's just formations, the book still records other kinds of formations, especially the technique of breaking formations.

"Can you teach me some formations?" Cheng Tianyang asked softly in the other party's ear.

Hearing this, Si Cangqing turned his head, stared fixedly at the man's eyes, and then said softly, "Okay."

That night, candles were lit in Si Cangqing's camp all night, and the two people in front of the lamp were reading the same book side by side, and someone whispered something from time to time.

The heavy snow gradually stopped that night.Early in the morning, Si Cangqing ordered the road to be opened, and all the soldiers were mobilized. As long as they passed through the mountains and forests in this area, there would be no obstacles to the journey thereafter.Moving slowly all the way like this, after ten days, Si Cangqing's army finally got out of this predicament.Although there are still many mountains blocking the way to the south, there is no longer heavy snow blocking the way.

After leaving Nanjun Mansion, the army immediately accelerated and rushed towards the frontier.

Two thousand Imperial Forest Army ran ahead, Cheng Tianyang gradually slowed down and grabbed the reins.Seeing the other party's movements, Si Cangqing also stopped, and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Tianyang looked at the clouds and mists surrounding the green hills in the distance, and after a long while, he slowly turned to Si Cangqing, and said, "We are out of heaven."

Slightly startled, Si Cangqing immediately understood what this man meant.

Cheng Tianyang lowered his brows and smiled slightly, "I'm finally back in Hongcheng again!" Such seemingly impatient words were spoken in an extremely calm tone, as if there was no trace of joy, or... hatred.How long have I waited, how long have I endured, the pain and resentment I have experienced, it is finally time to get everything back.

"Your Majesty, thank you!"

Cheng Tianyang took a deep look at Si Cangqing, then sat upright, pulled up the reins abruptly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, let's go quickly!"

Difficult roads in the world ([-])

The cold city is shrouded in dark clouds.The freezing rain continued, and the weather was getting colder and colder. The cold wind was like a sharp knife cutting on the cheek exposed outside the iron helmet, and it hurt raw.

Mo Qingjue walked slowly through each of the camps, and when he was walking towards his tent, a soldier trotted in front of him, and before he could stand up, he spoke eagerly, panting, "Mo, Mr. Mo..."

A gust of cold wind gushed into his throat, and the man was choked suddenly and coughed violently.

Laughing, Mo Qingjue said softly: "If you have something to say slowly, don't worry."

It took a while for the soldier to stop coughing, and he said excitedly, "Mr. Mo, the sentry in front has received news that the emperor and His Highness Xihou are leading a large army towards here, and they will arrive from time to time."

Slightly startled, Mo Qingjue asked, "Have you notified General Ye Lou and the others?"

"Boy, let's go!"

Seeing the man running away again, Mo Qingjue stood silently on the spot, for a long time, slowly raised one hand, tightened the cloak tightly, slipped his fingers down, and lightly stroked the other arm.

The heavy rain was swept up by the strong wind and swept between the sky and the earth.

The army trotted at a neat pace, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the mountain road for a long time.Several people rode on horses, wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats, flicking their whips from time to time, and rushed forward.

The curved mountain road finally came to an end, and the front was a steep high slope, which seemed to be embedded in the mid-air, and a towering tower stood on it, so steep, it is no wonder that Fengsi City is called the first frontier city of Hongcheng. One day moat.

Si Cangqing's horse gradually slowed down, and the imperial guards who were walking in the front also gradually stopped, retreating from front to back and standing on both sides in an orderly manner.A not-so-open road in front of him was opened, and there were already many people waiting at the other end of the road.

Looking at the city tower towering into the sky, Si Cangqing just sat quietly on the horse and did not move on.The rain was muddy and splashed on him from time to time.

"Your Majesty?" Cheng Tianyang asked tentatively, interrupting Si Cangqing's thoughts.

Si Cangqing tilted his head and glanced at him, "Let's go!"

"Well," Cheng Tianyang nodded slightly, turned his gaze to the front, and asked, "What was His Majesty thinking about just now?"

Si Cangqing was silent for a while, looking at the tower that was getting closer, "Is there anyone under Cheng Tianyi who is very good at formation?"

He observed the terrain here just now. Although it is very steep and steep, Luoshan has rich experience in marching, and 10,000+ soldiers are not a small number. Being trapped here for so long is most likely to be trapped in the formation.It's just that after the battle in Guangyu Kingdom, Anping, Luoshan, and Luoshui all studied formation techniques hard, and Si Cangqing personally gave a lot of pointers. It is impossible to trap Luoshan with ordinary formation techniques.

If it is really a formation, then the people who set up this formation will be a great hindrance to the Southern Expedition—to successfully capture Hongdu, the only way is to first conquer Yaoshan Mountain, which is much steeper than Fengsicheng. If a precise formation is laid there, this battle will be extremely dangerous.

"Though the generals under Cheng Tianyi are brave and good at fighting, they are mostly warriors. Moreover, this kind of formation often sacrifices too much, so it is taboo to use it on the battlefield." Cheng Tianyang pondered, "I really want to say who is very good at formation I haven't heard of this technique." He also understood what Si Cangqing meant, but it was simply impossible for this temple city to be built on this high and dangerous slope to trap more than [-] people.

Not to pursue further, looking at the people who had already come up, Si Cangqing gently pulled the reins.

"The final general will see the emperor, my emperor..."

"No," Si Cangqing coldly interrupted everyone's kneeling ceremony, got off the horse, glanced at the people one by one, and fixed his eyes on Mo Qingjue who was standing beside Ye Lou. He looked away, "We'll talk about it when we go back to camp."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Inside the tent, the firewood was burning quietly, and it was very warm.

Si Cangqing sat in the first place, listening to Ye Lou and others carefully describe the previous battle situation and the details of the Fengsi City being trapped.

"...The general situation is like this." After Ye Lou finished speaking, he stood there respectfully.

Looking down at the painted topographic map in front of him, Si Cangqing asked in a rambling voice, "Mo Qingjue, do you have anything to report to me?"

Being named by accident, Mo Qingjue was slightly stunned, quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Si Cangqing, hesitantly said, "Back to the emperor, Qingjue doesn't know what you mean?"

Si Cangqing glanced at him indifferently, held the teacup, and casually sipped his mouth, "10,000+ troops were trapped in Fengsi City, and it took nearly half a month before you proposed to Luoshan to break the siege." Of the policy."

The implication is that everyone present knows it well.

Mo Qingjue was silent for a while.

Ye Lou was slightly anxious, and hurriedly opened his mouth to defend him, "If you go back to the emperor, Mr. Mo didn't delay the time on purpose, but really..."

"Ye Lou!"

Si Cangqing's neutral tone made Ye Lou shut up immediately, and he didn't dare to continue, so he backed away quietly.

The stagnant oppression in the camp forced everyone to feel flustered, holding their breath cautiously.

"Your Majesty..." Mo Qingjue finally opened his mouth, slowly raised his head, stared straight at Si Cangqing, and said softly: "Actually, before General Luoshan died, he had confessed to Qingjue alone about some things. Never told anyone else.”

"Now, can the emperor talk to Qing Jue alone?"

◇Cang ◇ Huan ◇ Seven ◇ Palace ◇

As soon as Mo Qingjue's words came out, the other people were all surprised and a little bit worried.

Si Cangqing looked at this person quietly, and the other person didn't avoid his eyes, and looked directly at him firmly - a bit of the momentum in Zhaoyang's execution ground back then.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Si Cangqing said softly: "Ye Lou, you guys go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Lou hesitated, but obediently followed the other generals and left the big tent.

"Speak!"

Si Cangqing leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, caressing the jade pendant around his waist with his fingers, and gently stroking the lines on it.

Mo Qingjue seemed to be smiling, and then he turned serious, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you suspect that Qing Jue is a secret agent?" After a pause, "General Luoshan was always wary of me at the beginning. I think it was actually your Majesty's intention. Bar?"

Si Cangqing casually replied, "So what if you doubt it, so what if you don't doubt it?" He was not at all surprised by this man's sensitivity. This is the man who was able to incite the refugees to riot back then, and he is also the man who can control most of the Southwest Army now. .

"What does that have to do with my question?"

Mo Qing was not surprised or afraid, and smiled lightly, "Because of General Luoshan's suspicion, he was trapped in this temple city at the beginning, and he never believed Qing Jue's words. Here..."

"In fact, a maze was set up to wear down people's will. Abandoning a city, but destroying the main force of the Southern Expedition, is really a good deal."

is that so?Si Cangqing didn't make any comments, but now that the other party had opened up, he wanted to see how this person defended himself.

"Cheng Tianyi spent a lot of money this time, and actually set up this death formation in the entire city, but he didn't care about the lives of the people and soldiers guarding the city. That's why General Luoshan never believed Qing Jue's words."

"It wasn't until he had no other way out that General Luoshan finally adopted Qing Jue's advice with an adventurous attitude. At that time, the Hongcheng soldiers guarding the city were also forced to retreat by our army. They jumped the wall and fought to the death. At the key point of preparing to break through At that moment, General Luoshan was overworked and became careless for a while, and was attacked by surprise and seriously injured."

"The general handed over the commander's seal to me, not because he really trusted him, but just as a gamble."

Mo Qingjue laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "No matter what the general thinks of me, as the Southwest Army, Qing Jue would rather die than save the army. Although he is only [-]% sure of breaking this death formation, he can only take a risk to break through. "

"The emperor wants to make it clear, that's all."

Looking at the indifferent Si Cangqing
