As the saying goes, don't hit smiling faces. As soon as Chen Wu arrived at Xia Cheng's side, he started flattering him. No matter how anxious Xia Cheng was, he couldn't be rude in front of Chen Wu. He clasped his fists and said, "Where is that! General Yang is being polite. If General Yang and all the soldiers of the Liu family army hadn't restrained him, Xia alone would not have been able to break through Nanxiong City so easily."

Chen Wu nodded repeatedly and said: "General Xia's tiger power, Chen has already heard about it back then." Nodding his head, Xia Cheng also greeted Chen Wu, with Wang Zongshi's matter in his heart, Xia Cheng didn't want to After a lot of chatter with Chen Wu, Dang even wanted to pick up the reins and continue chasing to the south of the city.But just as Xia Cheng raised the rein in his hand, Chen Wu suddenly said: "The first time Chen heard about General Xia's heroic deeds was when General Xia and General Wang Hu bravely ventured outside the Public Security City. It is a miracle that the enemy can finally break out from the sea of ​​flames!"

Hearing what Chen Wu said, Xia Cheng put down his raised hand just now, narrowed his eyes, and turned his head to look at Chen Wu. Not only Xia Cheng, but also the Xia family brothers behind Xia Cheng They all glared at each other, wishing they could kill Chen Wu with one blow.

In the public security war that Chen Wu mentioned, Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong wanted to make a name for themselves in that battle, but in the end they were caught by the Song army's tricks, and they were almost burned to death in the sea of ​​flames.Although Chen Wu's tone seemed to admire Xia Cheng's ability to escape under such circumstances, but Xia Cheng's ears were not very comfortable when these words fell into his ears.Even though Xia Chengdang tightly held the eyebrow sharp knife, he said coldly: "Chen Wu! What do you mean by that?"

Chen Wu seemed to have just realized that there was something wrong with his words, showing a look of astonishment, waved his hands repeatedly at Xia Cheng, and said, "Oh! General Xia. I didn't mean to laugh at the general. General, don't misunderstand Ah! I have always had nothing but admiration for the general. If there is any ambiguity in what I said just now, I apologize to the general. Please forgive me."

"Hmph!" Chen Wu apologized out of face, Xia Cheng naturally didn't want to delve into this matter, so he snorted coldly and put down the brow leaf sharp knife again.But at this time, Xia Wu, the eldest son who was behind Xia Cheng, suddenly changed his face, and hurriedly galloped to Xia Cheng's side, leaned into Xia Cheng's ear and said, "Father! This Chen Wu seems to be deliberately talking about the topic and delaying it." us."

Being reminded by Xia Wu, Xia Cheng's expression also changed, and he remembered the matter of Wang Zongshi. When he glanced at Chen Wu, he immediately clamped his legs and galloped towards the south of the city.As soon as Xia Cheng left like this, the Xia family brothers followed with the Gao family army, but when Chen Wu saw it, he didn't seem to want to stop him, but stepped aside, watching Xia Cheng and others leave with a smile on his face .

When Xia Cheng rushed to the south gate in a hurry, the flag of the Liu family army had already been erected on the top of the city, and there were soldiers and horses of the Liu family army up and down. Seeing this situation, Xia Cheng's face darkened, and he knew that he was It's too late.But Xia Cheng didn't give up. He happened to see Bai Xi, the general of the Liu family army, commanding the soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield. Dang even rode up to meet him, and shouted: "General Bai, where is Wang Zongshi now?"

"Ah! It's General Xia." Bai Xi turned to look at Xia Cheng in astonishment, but Xia Cheng could clearly see the sarcasm in his eyes. Bai Xi made a helpless expression and turned to Xia Cheng Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "General Xia. I was ordered to besiege the city just now, but I didn't expect that Wang Zongshi would summon the entire city's defenders and break out. The boy is not as brave as the general. Wang Zongshi and his Song army Brave, the kid couldn't stop him, and they ran away."

"What!" No matter how calm Xia Cheng was, he was taken aback this time.If Wang Zongshi was captured by Liu Yi, Xia Cheng would only feel pity at most, and he could even force Wang Zongshi to come here before Liu Yi had completely subdued Wang Zongshi.But if Wang Zongshi escaped, then the problem would really be aroused.

Previously, Xia Cheng was ordered by Gao An to assist Liu Yi in capturing Nanxiong Prefecture. As Gao An's think tank, Tong Wenbo personally instructed him not to let the Song army know that the Gao family army was also involved.

And seeing that Nanxiong Prefecture City was besieged on all sides and he couldn't escape, Xia Cheng also relaxed his vigilance, so he attacked the city with great fanfare because he thought Wang Zongshi couldn't escape.But now Wang Zongshi just ran away. If Wang Zongshi returned to Song Jun and told the story, wouldn't it let Song Jun know that Gao An and Liu Yi joined forces?At that time, it is very likely that Song Jun will point all his spearheads at Gao An.

Although Gao An's strength has been greatly developed over the years, Xia Cheng, who is somewhat arrogant, has to admit that now Gao An can't resist the Song Army's attack at all.Thinking that his carelessness would lead to such consequences, Xia Cheng couldn't stay any longer, and immediately shouted to the three sons and a cadre behind him: "Follow me! I vow to catch up with Wang Zongshi."

"Oh! General Xia." Seeing Xia Cheng's appearance, Bai Xi said: "Then Wang Zongshi and others have been gone for a long time, and they are running for their lives again. I am afraid that the general will not be able to catch up now." That said, but Bai Xi turned his body sideways to make way for Xia Cheng, not only him, but also the soldiers of the Liu family army behind him. The city gate was wide open for Xia Cheng to go.

Xia Cheng didn't care what was wrong with Bai Xi, and was anxious to pursue Wang Zongshi, so he led the soldiers through the city gate and killed them outside the city.After watching Xia Cheng and the others leave, the bright smile on Bai Xi's face immediately turned into a sneer. At this time, behind Bai Xi, a lieutenant stepped forward and said to Bai Xi: "General! Let's just let them go like this ?"

"Don't worry. Wang Zongshi and the others have already run away, Xia Cheng can't catch up." Bai Xi said confidently, "This Xia Cheng has a bad temper, we can't go too far. Mr. Zhao's plan is Let us ensure that Xia Cheng can't catch Wang Zongshi and others is enough. If we fall out with Xia Cheng here, it will not be good for the alliance with Gao An in the future. Let's go! Let's report to the Lord and Lord Zhao." Said When it was over, Bai Xi turned around and was about to leave.

Before Bai Xi left, there was a laugh from the direction of the city. Bai Xi saw that it was Liu Yi, Zhao Guang and a group of generals from the Liu family who rushed over. Liu Yi walked in the front, smiling and shouting at Bai Xi. Said: "Bai Xi. Thank you for your hard work this time."

Bai Xi also laughed, walked in front of Liu Yi, first clasped his fists to Liu Yi, and then said with a smile: "It's hard work for the general to do this. Mr. Zhao's plan is meticulous and detailed, and the general is just It was just done according to Mr. Zhao's plan. It was Mr. Zhao who really worked hard." Bai Xi didn't take the credit, but put all the credit on Zhao Guang.

Liu Yi smiled and nodded again and again, and said: "Brother Zhao Guang has merit. Bai Xi, your credit cannot be erased. There are also generals and Brother Liu Song. You all have merit, and I will reward you according to your merit. Zhao Guang Brother, now that everything is going according to your plan, what should we do next?"

Hearing Liu Yi's question, Zhao Guang was no longer humble. He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "According to the current situation, Xia Cheng will definitely not be able to catch Wang Zongshi. As long as Wang Zongshi escapes to the mountain No matter how brave Xia Cheng is, it is impossible for Xia Chengcheng to cross the high mountain with the Song army's stronghold soldiers and horses guarding the dangerous area. Wang Zongshi fled back, although we missed the opportunity to kill him, but also let the Song army know that we joined forces with Gao An According to the previous covenant between the adults and Gao An, our army is stationed in Nanxiong Prefecture to defend Gao An from the soldiers and horses killed by the Song Army from the north. After the Song Army knows that our army and Gao An are allied, they will never dare to send troops rashly Nanxiong Prefecture, and with the cunning of the counselors under Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, they will definitely choose to send troops from the Nan'an Army and take Fujian directly. At that time, our army will be considered to have successfully dragged Gao An into the water."

Liu Yi's eyes lit up at this moment, and he continued: "If Gao An starts a war with the Song Army, then Xia Cheng will definitely not be able to sit still. At that time, with our soldiers and horses, the Song Army South Road soldiers and horses will be able to deal with it all at once. Our three allied armies. The three main forces of the Song Army and the Imperial Guards, the Northern Anti-Gold Army, no matter how powerful the Southern Army is, it is impossible to win."

Liu Yi's words made all the generals around shout with excitement. During this period of time, the Liu family's army has been hiding in Tibet and living under the fence. These generals have had enough of this kind of humiliation.Now that they can finally launch a counterattack against the enemy, how can they not be excited.

Seeing the excited faces of the generals, Zhao Guang and Liu Yi glanced at each other with extremely concealed eyes.Although what they said was very simple just now, in fact, they can't guarantee whether they can develop according to the progress of such things.

The strength of the Song army has long been beyond their previous imagination. Even if the main force is attacked by the Kingdom of Jin, the Southern Army can still resist the siege of the public security by the four armies of princes.Back then, with Zhao Gou's secret support, the four-way army could not defeat the Song Army. Now without the support of Peng You and Zhao Gou at the beginning, relying on the three armies of the princes who have already sunk down to the west, they have to deal with the Song Army that is stronger than before. Legion, the outcome is still hard to say.Perhaps, the Song army could really fight against the alliance of Liu Yi, Xia Cheng and Gao'an's three southern princes with one enemy and three with their own strength.

However, neither Zhao Guang nor Liu Yi dared to say this, as it would only damage the morale of the army. After several battles, the morale of Liu's army, who had been defeated in a row, had already fallen to the bottom. If there is no good news to improve God knows what would happen if it happened.

Seeing the generals congratulating each other excitedly, Zhao Guang and Liu Yi walked together silently, and at the same time turned their heads to look to the north, which was the direction of Nan'an Military City, where Liu Tong chose to stay forever.

Let's say that Xia Cheng chased and killed him for nearly half an hour, but he still didn't see Wang Zongshi's shadow.Seeing that Dayu Mountain was getting closer and closer, Xia Cheng's heart became heavier and heavier.Xia Wu, who was behind Xia Cheng, ran wildly with Xia Cheng, looked around, and shouted at Xia Cheng: "Father, I can't chase anymore! If I chase again, I will soon reach the Song Army's Dayu Mountain defense area. There are a large number of Song troops stationed there, we can't go there!"

Xia Cheng didn't know what Xia Wu said, but he could sit back and watch Wang Zongshi flee back to the Song army, and then bring a disaster to Gao An, Xia Cheng couldn't accept this ending.Gritting his teeth, Xia Cheng didn't intend to stop at all, and said, "Keep chasing! Chase all the way to Dayu Mountain."

Xia Cheng seemed to want to make the last effort, but the cruel reality made Xia Cheng's heart fall to the bottom.Half an hour later, looking at the continuous Dayu Mountain range and the boundless dense forest fluttering in the wind, Xia Cheng felt a chill in his heart.Apparently Wang Zongshi had entered Dayu Mountain and fled to the Song Army's stronghold on Dayu Mountain.Xia Cheng's hands were cold, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

The Xia family brothers behind Xia Cheng glanced at each other and hesitated for a while. Xia Wu still rode forward and said to Xia Cheng: "Father! This is the Song Army's defense area. The enemy has a large force and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. We should leave quickly." Go back and report this matter to your lord and the commander-in-chief, maybe the commander-in-chief can think of any good solution?"

"Commander?" Xia Cheng's eyes lit up, thinking of Tong Wenbo's fair face, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes! Go back and ask the commander, he must know what to do. Let's go! Let's go straight back to Fujian Road .”

Originally seeing that Xia Cheng was willing to go back, the Xia family brothers were very happy, but when they heard Xia Cheng's words, the three brothers were stunned, and Xia Hu quickly asked: "Go back to Jianzhou? Father, we are not going back to the South Is it Xiongzhou? Didn’t your lord and the commander-in-chief say that father should stay in Nanxiongzhou and monitor Liu Yi’s actions?”

"Go back to Nanxiong Prefecture?" Xia Cheng snorted coldly, he was not a reckless man like Wang Xiong, on the contrary, Xia Cheng's resourcefulness was no less than that of ordinary counselors.Just now he was in a hurry to chase Wang Zongshi, so he didn't think about it carefully, but now that he thinks about what happened in Nanxiong Prefecture just now, the reason why Wang Zongshi escaped was obviously because of Liu Jiajun's intention.

As for the reason, it was very simple. It was to expose Gao An to Song Jun, and then Gao An had to face Song Jun as an enemy.Having seen through all this, Xia Cheng will naturally not return to Nanxiong Prefecture, because it is meaningless for him to stay in Nanxiong Prefecture now, and it is better to return to Jianzhou as soon as possible.Going back can not only report the situation here to Gao An, but maybe also help Gao An resist the angry Song army and give them a helping hand.Immediately, Xia Cheng shouted in a deep voice: "We will not go back to Nanxiong Prefecture, but go directly to Jianzhou. Let's go!"

With something urgent in mind, Xia Cheng didn't dare to stay any longer, and rushed northward quickly with his subordinates. Soon, Xia Cheng and the brigade disappeared from the tributary of Ganjiang River.After Xia Cheng and others left, the entire bank of the tributary of the Ganjiang River returned to calm again.

Cheng Township in Meizhou is the territory of the Liu Family Army, but as a condition for the long-distance support of the Xia Army, the weak Liu Family Army has already ceded Cheng Township in Meizhou to the Xia Family.

On the top of the city, Wang Kuang, the younger brother of Wang Kang, the commander of the Nan'an Army, is directing the soldiers to set up the defense line on the top of the city.

Over the years, Wang Kuang has been by Wang Kang's side. Although Wang Kuang's skills are not as good as Wang Kang's, Wang Kuang is calm and stable, and he has helped Wang Kang a lot on weekdays.It can be said that Wang Kang can have such a status under Xia Cheng's account, on the one hand, because of his extraordinary martial arts, and on the other hand, Wang Kuang's help is indispensable.

Just after setting up the guard posts for shifts, a soldier suddenly ran from the direction of the city and shouted at Wang Kuang: "General Wang, something is wrong."

Hearing the soldier calling him, Wang Kuang turned his head and shouted with a puzzled face, "I'm here. What happened?"

The soldier hurried to Wang Kuang's side, panting heavily, and said eagerly, "General Wang Kuang, hurry up to the Chengshou Mansion. General Wang Kang and General Xia are fighting."

"Huh?" Wang Kuang frowned immediately.But he didn't look surprised, but shook his head and sighed.In fact, this kind of thing has happened frequently since leaving the territory of the Nan'an Army.Both Wang Kang and Xia Shanyue are extremely irritable people. How could they get along peacefully when they meet?It has been able to maintain until now that no major incidents have occurred, all because of Wang Kuang and Lin Tao's persuasion in the middle.Immediately Wang Kuang asked the soldier, "Have you notified General Lin Tao?"

The soldier immediately replied: "General Lin Tao is already in the Chengshou Mansion, but judging from the situation, it seems that General Lin Tao has also participated in the quarrel between my lord and General Xia."

"Ah?" Wang Kuang was taken aback now. He didn't expect Lin Tao, who has always been calm, to get involved?Wang Kuang didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, he briefly explained the matter at hand, and immediately got down from the top of the city, and rushed towards the city guard's mansion inside the city.
