New Dream of Red Mansions

Xiyan was just taken aback, "I heard you're leaving tomorrow?"

Seeing that she was not upset, Xia Yuntian felt relieved, nodded and said: "Yes, we will leave from the south gate tomorrow."

The room became quiet again for a while, Xia Yuntian glanced at Xiyan, and said in a low voice: "I will hurry back."

Xiyan realized almost immediately that he was talking about their wedding date. Seeing Xia Yuntian looking at her expectantly, Xiyan said smoothly, "Then I'll wait for you!"

A light flashed in Xia Yuntian's eyes. Although he knew that Xiyan would wait for him, he still couldn't help but feel agitated when he heard it with his own ears.

Xia Yuntian only met Xiyan twice, but the two had known each other for four years and kept communicating with each other, so he felt that the two of them had a similar soul.

It was an accident to come here this time, but he has a lot of things to say after sitting here.

"I have something to ask you."

Xiyan sat up slightly, and said sincerely, "Please tell me."

"You should have guessed that this time Pingnan is the scheme of the Ou family. I'm afraid there are a few princes in it, so I'm afraid... I know you have always been quick-witted, so after I leave, I still hope that you will treat Pingyanghou The government will take care of you."

Xiyan's eyes sank. Although the Ou family has always been powerful in Lingnan and holds military power like the Xia family, their foundation in the capital is far inferior to that of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. This time, they can easily give Xia Yun the world this If you don't use it, it means that someone has helped, but at this time, the Ou family will be helped. It seems that they are the four princes who are afraid of Xia Yuntian, and maybe Prince Lian and others.

Xiyan nodded and said, "As long as I can do it." Now she is completely tied to the Xia family, not counting the previous entanglements, and there is no way to escape this time.

Xia Yuntian said: "I still have some people under my command, and they will be at your disposal after I leave." After thinking for a while, he untied a purse from his waist, took out a seal from the purse and handed it to Xiyan, saying: "This is a token. As long as you print it on a piece of paper and give it to Steward Xia, you can issue orders."

Xiyan was taken aback, and quickly declined: "How is this possible? Isn't there an old lady?"

"Mother is getting old, and once things involve me and the empress, she will inevitably be flustered. You might as well be quicker and wiser, so I beg you!"

Xiyan hesitated for a moment, then took the seal and purse.

A smile appeared on Xia Yuntian's face.The matter that has been entangled in his heart has finally been explained. When he wanted to say something, his ears moved, and he said in a low voice: "Your maidservant is back, I'm leaving."

Xi Yan nodded, sent him to the window, and whispered: "Be careful, come back safely!"

Xia Yuntian nodded, jumped out, and the ups and downs disappeared before Xiyan's eyes.

There was an envious look in Xiyan's eyes, this skill of flying over the roof and walls is really good!

The next day, Housekeeper Xia sent Xiyan a package of good bird's nest. The third grandma was surprised, even if it was to send bird's nest, she didn't have to ask Steward Xia to deliver it, right?Why don't we just call a maid to come?

However, Xiyan knew that Xia Yuntian was going to tell herself that he had entrusted Housekeeper Xia.

Xia Yuntian arrived in southern Xinjiang, took over part of Lingnan's troops and most of Nan'an King's troops, and began to organize defenses.

Seeing that Xia Yuntian didn't want to fight back, but just defended, King Nan'an didn't look very good.

In fact, Xia Yuntian and Nan'an King are not much different in age. Speaking of which, Nan'an King is only two years older than Xia Yuntian, but he is different from Xia Yuntian.Xia Yuntian started to fight with his father and two elder brothers at the age of 14, and at the age of 16, he directly took over the burden of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and led the troops at the forefront. At the age of 19, he blocked the attack of Tsarist Russia alone, which can be said to be experienced in many battles.

Although the king of Nan'an said he was well-versed in military literature, he actually fought only this time. He took the initiative to attack, but he retreated steadily.

Zhang Shicheng saw that he talked about the art of war one after another, but he didn't know why when he was on the battlefield, so he snorted coldly in his heart.Because of Xia Yuntian's status, it is inconvenient for him to have any objections to the former coach directly, but he is different, he is just a young general, even if he said something about King Nan'an, it was just a small complaint. too small.

Xia Yuntian turned a blind eye to the undercurrent of the waves, and directly took the map of southern Xinjiang to examine it carefully. For several days in a row, the people of An Nanguo were allowed to yell and scold them, but they did not fight.

The king of Nan'an became anxious. This war has lasted for two months, but no news of victory has been reported to the court. The emperor was already dissatisfied with them, and he was afraid that his title would be taken away directly this time, so he urgently needed to take back those lost territory.

Zhang Shicheng stood beside Xia Yuntian, looked at the people from An Nanguo below, and said, "What are you going to do? The people of King Nan'an are nothing more than that. Now he is eager to make meritorious service, so he won't do anything for the time being, but come from Lingnan." We are afraid that it will be difficult for us to instruct and move them." And An Nanguo surrounded them this time, and to break their siege, they had to use a large number of people. For safety, the generals who stayed behind must be brought by themselves, so Nan'an Wang and the generals from Lingnan are afraid that they will all go out to fight.But if one person is disobedient, the whole plan may be lost.

Xia Yuntian said calmly: "So, we have to kill people first!"

Zhang Shicheng raised his eyebrows. Seeing his face condensed, he shed a tear of sympathy for the district general. No one knew his friend better than him. Maybe it was because he had been exposed to the battlefield since he was a child, so his friend was in awe of life. In terms of military discipline, he has always spared the opponent's life as soon as he can, because it is too difficult to live.

This is the first time he has clearly stated that he wants to kill people, and that he plans to kill people.

Zhang Shicheng shivered, pressed his mind, and stopped thinking about it.

The palm of Xia Yuntian's sleeve was also clenched, this was the first time he calculated like this, and it will be the only time.

Because he wants to live, he wants to return to Beijing alive.

Mother, sister, and Xiyan all need him.If he died, then they... Xia Yuntian thought of the complicated situation in the capital, and suddenly hardened his heart.

Xia Yuntian quickly formulated a counterattack plan under the strong request of King Nan'an, "General Zhang will act as the forward, and General Liu and General Yuan will lie in ambush on the left and right flanks respectively. Act on the order flag on the door, don't love to fight, just hit and go."

Zhang Shicheng and General Liu and General Yuan should be in line.

King Nan'an watched them leave with longing eyes.

Xia Yuntian waved away all the soldiers, King Nan'an anxiously wanted to go to the city gate to have a look, but Xia Yuntian suddenly left behind King Nan'an, saying: "My lord, why don't you follow me to the city gate to see, if there is an accident, you can adjust it in time .”

King Nan'an had long heard that Marquis Pingyang used soldiers like gods, and because they were about the same age, they would be compared to some extent. The best of their generation was none other than Xia Yuntian's elder brother, but after his elder brother died in battle, Xia Yuntian Yuntian is also gradually emerging. Although no one has said that he is inferior to Xia Yuntian, everyone already thinks that Xia Yuntian has a bright future in the big tent.

He admits that he has read military books all over and practiced many armies, but he always loses battles, so he is unconvinced. This time he listened to Xia Yuntian's invitation and wanted to see his skills, so naturally he readily agreed.

The two stood on the city gate and looked at the enemy's camp with clairvoyance.

The enemy's camp is in an open area, and the mountains extending towards the city gate are green on both sides, making it a good place to ambush.

This is the simplest way to use troops. King Nan'an felt that he didn't even bother to use them. He didn't think that the people of An Nanguo would be fooled.But what he saw with clairvoyance surprised him. It was obviously the simplest trap, but the people from An Nanguo did not hesitate to chase after Zhang Shicheng after Zhang Shicheng stormed the camp.

Ecstasy flashed across King Nan'an's face. If the ambush was successful this time, he would surely be able to kill many enemy troops.

Xia Yuntian signaled to the commanding flag officer next to him, "Hold down the commanding flag, and let General Liu and General Yuan attack after half of the people in An Nanguo have passed." Then he turned to the king of Nan'an and said, "My lord, I think they are chasing a lot of people. It’s better to send another team, and then we can keep more people.”

Now King Nan'an felt that as long as he could win the battle, he nodded and said, "Use my soldiers, you are the commander, you just give orders."

Xia Yuntian smiled in satisfaction, and turned to look at the following generals.

The four generals who followed Xia Yuntian were all there, and when they saw this, they all came out and said: "The last general is willing to go!"

Xia Yuntian quickly ordered two generals and asked them to bring 2000 people to attack quickly.

But at this time, Zhang Shicheng was killing and retreating, he had already reached the verge of an ambush, Xia Yuntian's command flag was still under pressure, but General Liu and General Yuan suddenly rushed out with people, and the people from An Nanguo saw that someone was lying in ambush On both sides, they quickly took a few steps back, while asking for help from the camp, while fighting the enemy bravely.

Seeing the people on both sides running out suddenly, King Nan'an opened his mouth half-opened in surprise, and slapped the city wall angrily, "Why did they run out? Didn't they have to wait for half of the people to come out? This person ran out as soon as he arrived. What else is there to set up?"

Xia Yuntian just watched with a sullen face, without saying a word.

Because the ambushing people on both sides ran out in advance, not only did not achieve the expected result, but also made the enemy more brave, and the people rushing out on both sides happened to block Zhang Shicheng's retreat route, and he was forced to face the enemy.He and Xia Yuntian had expected this kind of situation a long time ago, but now it's just worse.

Standing on the city gate, Xia Yuntian watched Zhang Shicheng's situation and secretly clenched his fists. The 2000 people he sent out quickly set out to rescue him, finally easing the situation on the field.

King Nan'an heaved a sigh of relief, the war was considered a draw.

Xia Yuntian also heaved a sigh of relief, all his people came back alive.

Zhang Shicheng's arm was slashed, King Nan'an didn't know about it, but Xia Yuntian saw it, he suffered that slash on purpose.He went down the city gate with a sullen face.The King of Nan'an was not stupid, he already understood in a short time that General Liu and General Yuan were targeting Xia Yuntian.

It's just that he was even more displeased. He didn't care about the struggle between the Xia family and the Ou family, but they shouldn't hold him back at this time. He urgently needs a victory now. They messed up what was supposed to be a sure thing. King Nan'an's mood very bad.

Xia Yuntian sat at the top with a sullen face, and all the generals who had just been called sat on both sides. Zhang Shicheng went down to bandage the wound, and General Liu and General Yuan were kneeling at the bottom.

King Nan'an sat under Xia Yuntian with a sullen face. When he saw the old couple, he couldn't help showing an angry look on his face, but seeing that Xia Yuntian didn't say a word, he had no choice but to hold back his temper.
