The owner of the fort was named Ning. The owner of Ning Fort was watching the soldiers practice in a mountain training ground. The sound of the team was not only neat and loud, but also the sound was like thunder. The owner of Ning Fort's clothes was like a flag and let the mountain wind blow. He could return to the tent for a moment. There was a map of Nanjing in the tent. The map was hung horizontally on the long board, so you could look directly at the map when you stood up. The owner of Ning Fort stared at Pukou outside the stone city.

Pukou is a big city with a defense line outside the stone city. As long as you can break Pukou, you can reach Stone City directly. As long as the stone city is broken, Jiankang is the thing in your pocket. Looking at the map, the owner of Ningbao's eyes are bright and shiny. The luminous eyes are filled with excitement. His wishes will come true for many years, but his mood is really hard to express.

Since leaving Jiankang twenty years ago, the owner of Ningbao secretly swears in his heart, "I will return to Jiankang in the future, and it will be the time when the iron sword breaks the city."

The Lord of Ning Fort has done only two things over the past 20 years. One is to make money, and the other is to recruit soldiers and horses. However, thousands of people are easy to recruit and ten thousand people are difficult to raise. No matter how hard they try to make money, they cannot support them to break through the Jiankang army. One person's strength and ability are small, so they can only seek external forces. Now the Lord of Ning Fort has found excellent external forces, and now all conditions are ripe.

The Lord of Ningbao believed that he was not a person leading the troops to conquer the battlefield, so he found three good generals, Yang Bin, Gu Zhengxin, and Qiu Ying.

There are currently 100,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry, and 150,000 rations for 150,000 people, which is not affordable by the Lord of Ningbao. There are external forces to help secretly.

The Lord of Ningbao is fifty years old. When he was young, he had a strong body, but he had to accept his old age. He was no longer capable of doing many things than when he was young, but he was very satisfied with the right-hand man he had recruited.

At this time, the three good generals entered, and the Lord of Ning Castle took his eyes off the map, looked around the corners of the three of them with a smile and asked, "Have Wei Zhuo been placed?"

Yang Bin said, "Wei Zhuo is very obedient and has brought Miss Ji to meet his old friend. The military rations are delivered as we ask."

The Lord of Ning Castle nodded with satisfaction, "This way you can have enough time to deal with this old thing Fan Hong."

Gu Zhengxin, who was beside Yang Bin, sneered, "Master, there are three of us here, what is Fan Hong's thing? As long as people who are good at playing power meet the spear in my hand, they will be rats crossing the street!"

The Lord of Ning Castle frowned and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy"

Qiu Ying reported to the supreme report, "The Fortress Lord said, Guo Yungang returned to the court to fight with his uncle in the internal struggle. On the surface, it was calm, but in fact there were many hidden dangers. Now internal instability is indeed an opportunity for us, but Pukou is also under the jurisdiction of Xu Mingshan. Xu Mingshan is a man who is good at using troops and must not underestimate the enemy."

Gu Zhengxin proudly said, "Jiu Ying, don't be ambitious to others. Look at the singing and dancing in the waterfront in Jiankang, and it's like a thrilling and joyful fight over them."

The owner of Ningbao looked at Yang Bin, and Yang Bin said calmly, "Some people are loose, but in Jiankang, it is not only Xu Mingshan but also Li Jin. The Zhuque Army trained by Li Jin should not be underestimated."

The Lord of Ningbao said with a serious expression, "Not only the two of them, but also Mu Xuexing. Although this man has no experience in leading troops to fight, he is resourceful and also a big concern. Although he cannot be underestimated, we cannot shrink back."

Qiu Ying agreed, "This time they have only two choices, one is a head-on battle, and the other is to keep the city closed and defend. No matter which choice, there is no luck."

Gu Zhengxin laughed and greeted him with a smile, "I have been planning for many years and have a clear understanding of the situation in Nanjing. This time we will definitely be able to do anything and can't wait. Just wait for the order of the fortress to give me the order, and I will be the first to lead my troops into Jiankang."

Hearing Gu Zhengxin's words, the Lord of Ningbao looked up at the sky and laughed with pride. He said with a heroic spirit, "What I want is the head of the Guo family. I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you capture Jiankang, all talents can be used as materials."

Mu Xuexing told Li Jin that Zhang Guirong said, and Li Jin was shocked and immediately entered the palace to report. Fan Hong learned that the news was very big and did not believe in it, "How could a lord of Zhouping Fort have such a wealthy person who can support an army of 150,000?"

Li Jindawei said solemnly, "Xuexing has gone out to investigate, no matter what, this matter has to be done."

Fan Hong frowned and said, "This Zhang Guirong is so repetitive. Can he believe his words?"

Li Jin said, "Others are in prison and their families are in our hands. Logically speaking, there is no need to tell such a lie. If this is a lie, it is a shocking lie. I am afraid that he will not be able to fabricate such a lie."

Fan Hong thought about it and said, "Before this matter is confirmed, the news should not be spread and panic. We have not participated in the dispute between him and the North Korea for many years, just to protect the Qingyue in Nanjing. If it is reported that the army is outside, it will make the people feel uneasy and flee."

After a moment of silence, Fan Hong said, "Let Sun Xu, Hou San, and Xu Mingshan come here, and there is no need to tell the prince in advance. The prince should be healed at the moment."

"yes"

After a while, the rest of the people arrived, Li Jin briefly explained the situation to them. Sun Xu was very surprised, "A 150,000 army? If you really want to be in Jiankang, then Pukou will be very dangerous now."

Xu Mingshan said proudly, "If you want to take Pukou, you have to pass my level!"

Mu Xuexing came to the leather goods store and thought to see Feng Yi, "Uncle Feng, leave now."

Feng Yi was stunned, "I want me to leave so urgently? What's going on?"

Mu Xuexing looked heavy and said, "Jiankang will usher in a big battle soon, let's stay to respond and you will leave first."

"Battle!" Feng Yi, Xiao Hei, and shopkeeper An Fu were shocked.

Mu Xuexing didn't explain much, so he asked Feng Yi to clean up quickly. Feng Yi looked around and frowned and said, "Let's go together. You don't understand the marching and war. What's the use of leaving behind? Don't do stupid things and go together!"

Mu Xuexing smiled bitterly. In fact, anyone can go, but he can't, because his family is here. Mu Xuexing said, "It's not a dead end to stay. Don't worry about us. How can the high Bingliang in Jiankang Wall be so easy to capture?"

Feng Yi knew why Mu Xuexing stayed, and knew that someone would persuade him but could not leave. He smiled bitterly and said, "I know that I can't persuade you, so you should be very careful when you stay."

Mu Xuexing looked at Feng Yi and smiled and said, "We will do it, Xiao Hei, send Uncle Feng out of the city."

"Ah" answered and sent Feng Yi away.

An Fu and Mu Xue were walking in the house, and Mu Xue walked on the road, "Uncle An Fu, do you know who the lord of Zhouping Fort is?"

"Master of Zhouping Fort?" An Fu pouted and said, "No one knows who this person is. In fact, someone has been sent to check it, but I can't find it out."

Mu Xuexing remembered the people going to Lou Kongzhou Pingbao Road, "This castle lord is really mysterious."

An Fu asked inexplicably, "Did you ask him because..."

Mu Xue walked on the road, "I heard that he has an army of 150,000 and will be heading straight to Jiankang soon."

An Fu's terrified and changed his mind, "The 150,000 army is not fifteen people. How can Zhoupingbao support so many people in order to make money?"

Mu Xuexing also had some doubts about this, "What if someone secretly funded it?"

"Secretly funded?" An Fu said in a daze, "Who has such a big deal?"

Mu Xuexing said, "Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done by a wealthy man. If you want to reach Jiankang, it is not just a matter of food and drink, but where do the armor and weapons come from?"

An Fu gasped and said in horror, "You mean, is the one who sponsors him a certain king?"

Mu Xuexing sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, what's important is that they can't succeed."

Mu Xue arrived at Pukou. It was the third day. Xu Mingshan naturally came here to take charge. Xu Mingshan sat in the main hall and gritted his teeth and said, "These dogs are really desperate. You dare to make trouble when you choose such a time!"

Xu Mingshan is angry about bandits. There are bandits who make trouble around Pukou for many years. They usually make small fusses and leave if they grab the goods. In the past few days, they not only grab the goods but also kill people.

Mu Xue walks the story, "They are so bold, they must be instigated by others, and the purpose is to let you send troops to encircle and suppress the enemy."

Xu Mingshan also saw the profound meaning, and sighed and said, "I also know their purpose, that is, they are so upset that they cannot send troops out!"

"Report!" A soldier came in and reported, "It's not good, a group of bandits were outside the city gate, killing ten villagers!"

Xu Mingshan suddenly said angrily, "It's so rampant!" He got up and was about to go out!

Mu Xuexing said at this time, "I'll go, if you make any mistakes, I won't dispatch troops to guard Pukou."

Watch Mu Xuexing, Xu Mingshan sat down and said, "Be careful of everything."

As soon as the city gate was closed, Mu Xuexing was ready to lead a team of soldiers out of the city. Outside the city gate, a group of bandits rushed towards Mu Xuexing with swords. Mu Xuexing did not move forward, and stopped within the range of the archer on the city wall. Seeing that the bandits approached Mu Xuexing and did not move, the thief approached Mu Xuexing and the archer on the city wall shot volleys.

He stabbed the bandits in and fell down like a hedgehog, and saw the arrows sharp. One of them shouted "Retreat". Some bandits retreated backwards from the archer's shooting range.

Between Mu Xuexing and the other bandits, ten corpses lay on the ground, and the people died in tragic sight. Mu Xuexing looked up at the front and said, "Those who can speak out."

The bandits were divided into two, and one person stepped forward. Mu Xuexing looked at the person and asked, "Why do you want to kill innocent people?"

This man looked indifferent when he looked at the corpses of the people. His face was very thin at the same time. He was between 289 and 2000 and his eyes looked fierce. The man shouted, "I have no grudges and no grudges with you. You cannot stand up for Xu Mingshan. This is a grudge between me and him. Please be more aware of your relationship and don't interfere."

Mu Xuexing smiled and said, "Grievance? How could Captain Xu become a grudge with you?"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "He usually sent people to encircle us. Many brothers died at his hands. Let's seek justice today!"

Mu Xuexing's eyes lit up sharply as the light of the eagle and falcon, and his tone was very calm. He looked at people indifferently and said, "I didn't have the courage to come to seek justice in the past, but I dared to come today. Are you curious who gave you the courage?"

This man's eyes were fierce and fierce, as if he wanted to choose a person to eat the evil wolf, staring at Mu Xue and saying, "As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, let alone such a good opportunity, I'm not afraid to tell you that we have already belonged to General Yang now, and the army will come soon. If you know the situation, open the door to surrender. I just want Xu Mingshan to be angry with the past and not kill innocent people."

"If you don't know the truth, I will kill you without leaving any armor when the city breaks down!"

"General Yang?" Mu Xuexing didn't know who he said this title, "May I ask General Yang is...?"

The man said, "What are you doing when you ask so much nonsense! Anyway, I'll leave it alone, and I'll give you a day to think about it!"

The man turned his head and said, "Retreat!"
Chapter completed!
