At three o'clock in the morning, Su Dingfang finally returned. But Xue Wanjun knew that Su Dingfang had not just returned from Piaoranxuan, but had just returned from the north of the city. Since the imperial army began to gather in Beiping Mansion, Su Dingfang could be said to have taken time to go to the north of the city every day, for

The most important thing is to be familiar with the daily movements of the imperial soldiers and horses. Although this kind of matter can be left to the scouts, Su Dingfang is always afraid that if there is any oversight, he must go and see it himself before he can rest assured.

"General, you are finally back." Xue Wanjun finally felt relieved when he saw Su Dingfang coming back. Was he really afraid that Su Dingfang would be kidnapped by those people?

"What's wrong?"

"Just now, the Marquis sent someone over and asked you to come over."

"Did something happen?"

"Well... what happened last night."

"What do I mean?"

"General, this time it was Han Shuai who came with the commander of the Fourth Route Army, and Mr. Cai." Xue Wanjun immediately explained the seriousness of the matter.

"Okay, I got it, I'll go right away." Su Dingfang was still a little nonchalant, then he took out a box of cannons and handed it to Xue Wanjun: "Take it, you just stay here, don't go anywhere, if you go to the Hou Mansion

If something goes wrong, let it out immediately."

"This is..." Xue Wanjun broke out in a cold sweat. What Su Dingfang gave him was a communication cannon used by the Fierce Tiger Army. Once released, a war would begin! Thirty thousand versus four hundred thousand? Xue Wanjun was scared just thinking about it!

"Why do you think so much? Didn't I tell you that something happened to the Marquis Mansion before I let him out? Don't worry, I will probably come back alive." After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he mounted his horse again and rushed to Jingbian Marquis Mansion.

When he arrived at the place, he discovered that the "greeting" given to him by the Marquis of Jingbian Mansion was more than just grand, it was almost grand. Jiang Song, Luo Cheng, and Luo Huan were standing outside the door waiting, not to mention there were about fifty people there.

Soldiers were lined up outside the hall waiting for him. When these people saw him coming, they all looked at him angrily.

"Dingfang, what's going on? I seem to be here for you." Jiang Song hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Since Han Shier hadn't said why he came to the Hou Mansion yet, but only mentioned Su Dingfang's name, Jiang Song and Luo Cheng also

Don't know what happened.

"Hitting someone." Su Dingfang kept walking, not caring about Jiang Song's worries at all.

"Hitting someone? Do you need such a formation to beat someone?" Luo Cheng obviously didn't believe that the current situation was just caused by beating someone. You know, in addition to Han Shi'e, there was also the commander of the Fourth Route Army and the Minister of War in the room.

As well as the other four lieutenants who were somewhat injured, these... were clearly here to question the enemy!

"Okay, don't worry about it." Su Dingfang said and walked into the main hall. This is indeed the case. If Jiang Song and Luo Cheng could take care of this matter, why would they be standing outside the door.

"Su Dingfang has met the Marquis!" Su Dingfang half-knelt down to salute, but only bowed to Luo Yi, ignoring Han Shi'er and others present.

Wait! Others who thought Su Dingfang would salute in turn discovered after waiting for a while that Su Dingfang had nothing to say!

Bang! Cai Xu slammed the table and shouted: "Su Dingfang! You are so brave. Han Shuai and me are here, why don't you show respect?"

"Salute?" Su Dingfang also turned around and looked at Cai Xu and said: "Beiping Mansion is not under the control of the imperial court. Su Dingfang is a general under the Marquis's command. I used to salute you out of respect, but now there is nothing wrong with not saluting you." Su Dingfang said this.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the implication was probably not understood by anyone present.

"Huh! Beiping Mansion is not under the control of the imperial court?" Cai Xu was secretly happy. Since he came today to punish Su Dingfang, he didn't mind making the matter bigger. So he looked at Han Shi'er and said to Su Dingfang: "Han Shuai,

Listen, do you mean that the Beiping Mansion wants to make itself king? Did you know that there are 400,000 imperial troops outside the city who will destroy you..."

"Lord Cai, what are you doing here?" Han Shi'er, the leader, spoke up in time to stop Cai Xu. But Luo Yi, who was next to him, could no longer drink the tea in his hand. He originally agreed to the imperial court's use of Beiping Mansion, that is,

Knowing that the military strength of the Beiping Mansion was no longer able to compete with the imperial court, he could only agree to use the road to ensure the temporary stability of the Beiping Mansion. But now that he saw with his own eyes that the imperial army was gathering more and more troops, he said that he was not worried at all that the imperial court would kill him.

, that is impossible!

"Mr. Cai, please don't make arbitrary accusations. We can't afford it." But under such a situation, Su Dingfang still refused to give up. "With an army of 400,000, are you trying to embolden yourself? Or are you trying to scare the tiger? I don't think so either.

I'm not afraid to tell you, let alone four hundred thousand, even if it comes to another hundred thousand, the Peking Mansion will not be afraid!"

Bang! As Su Dingfang finished speaking, Luo Yi and Han Shi'er grabbed the teacups in their hands at the same time. However, when they saw each other's move, they both stopped following up. The reason why Han Shi'er did this was because Su Dingfang

If you say that, it can almost be said that you are challenging the imperial court! Although Han Shi'er came here this time just to ask for an explanation for his subordinates, Su Dingfang's words were enough to escalate the incident. And once Su Dingfang will be questioned,

If he blames Su Dingfang himself lightly, the entire Beiping Mansion may be implicated. Han Shi'er also doesn't want Su Dingfang to talk any more, so as not to implicate Luo Yi. And Luo Yi does this purely to scare Han Shi'er. He threw a cup as a sign of honor.

It's not like he hasn't done this before. Although he knew that he didn't have time to arrange the soldiers, he still had to pretend that he was prepared at this time. And Jiang Song and Luo Cheng outside the door, this time

Shi also hated himself for not bringing a weapon with him. Han Shi'e was going to break a cup as a sign of victory! The two of them quickly turned around and looked at the soldiers behind them. As expected, each of them had their swords in their hands.

"Why are you so nervous?" Su Dingfang saw Han Shi'e and Luo Yi looking at each other, and turned to Han Shi'e and said, "Han Shuai, it was Dingfang who made arrogant remarks just now, so I apologize to you." After saying that, he leaned over and bowed, "But Han Shuai

Before Shuai gets angry, it's best to take a look at what Dingfang has in his hand."

Only then did Han Shi'e notice that Su Dingfang had been holding a drawing in his hand since he came in. When he reached out to take Su Dingfang's drawing, his hand naturally left the teacup, and the tense atmosphere in the hall immediately disappeared.

At this moment, Jiang Song whispered to Luo Cheng: "Second brother, you stay here and watch for now, I'll go and arrange someone."

"Yes!" Luo Yi nodded understandingly. But before Jiang Song took a few steps, he saw Mrs. Luo and his mother Jiang Guizhi, accompanied by their two daughters-in-law, Jiang Ning and Luo Huan. It turned out that Jiang Guizhi came over yesterday

Jiang Ning was asked to go to Su Dingfang to discuss their marriage, but Jiang Ning bumped into Su Dingfang fooling around in Piaoranxuan. When she came back in anger, she immediately said goodbye to Jiang Guizhi, saying that she was going back to Jiang's family in Nanyang. Jiang Guizhi

After asking about the situation, how could he tolerate his niece being so angry? But it was getting late at that time, so he asked Luo Huan to find Su Dingfang this morning, but Su Dingfang was not in the mansion. When Su Dingfang was ordered to come to the Jingbian Marquis Mansion

, Luo Huan immediately ran to inform his grandma, and Jiang Guizhi came over to seek justice for Jiang Ning.

"Mom! Mother! Why are you here?" Jiang Song was also worried and quickly asked the reason.

"Mom came to see Su Dingfang. He couldn't be invited yesterday, so I'm going to come to him myself today!" Jiang Guizhi's style was as strong as ever.

"Oh! Mom, now is not the time to talk about this. Go back!" After Jiang Song finished speaking, he didn't have time to pay attention to this and hurriedly walked out of the house. But Jiang Guizhi would not listen to him, and as soon as he was about to enter, he

Seeing Han Shi'e stand up suddenly, slapped the drawing on the table with one hand, and asked Su Dingfang: "Su Dingfang, what do you want to do by exploring the place where food is stored so clearly?"

Following the movement inside, one of the soldiers outside got excited and pulled out a section of his saber, but after recognizing that it was not the sound of a cup breaking, he immediately sent it back. With this movement, the door opened.

Qin Shengzhu and Jiang Guizhi outside also immediately realized that what was going on was probably unusual! At the same time, at the gate, Jiang Songzheng led his soldiers to rush into the courtyard, and instantly surrounded Han Shier's fifty soldiers.

"Han Shuai, please calm down, we are not here today to compete with who can bang the table louder." Su Dingfang's words rang out in the room again, "The imperial court's 400,000 troops are waiting for you. Our Beiping Mansion is small and has few people, so naturally we cannot compete with them.

Counterbalance. But this does not mean that Beiping Mansion is at the mercy of others! If you want to move Beiping Mansion, we cannot stop you, but if anything goes wrong in Beiping Mansion, your 400,000-strong army will have to go back and forth wherever you want!"

Dead silence! Silence! Luo Yi and others took the opportunity to look at the map that Han Shier pressed. There was an obvious place marked by a red circle on the map. They all recognized it. It was the place where the imperial army stored food! And Hong

Around the circle, several red dots were extremely eye-catching. Those were the theoretically best sneak attack locations! No wonder Han Shi'er was so angry after looking at the map.

Han Shi'e looked at Su Dingfang, and Su Dingfang looked at him not to be outdone. Of course Han Shi'e knew that the place where the grain was stored was heavily guarded, but Su Dingfang at this time really made him a little scared. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst! Plus

At this time, no one knew that Su Dingfang had placed the Fierce Tiger Army at the red dot. If the defenders were unable to withstand the Fierce Tiger Army's attack, it would be more than just food and fodder for the 400,000-strong army! As more and more soldiers and horses gathered in the imperial court,

, I’m afraid there will be more than 500,000 to 600,000 by then. If Su Dingfang really burned the food and grass, causing the Eastern Expedition to be aborted, not to mention the 400,000 people drinking the northwest wind tomorrow, even if they go back, a group of people will not be able to escape beheading and annihilation.

sin.

"Han Shuai, do you want to take a gamble? See if my 10,000 fierce tiger army can break through your food hoarding area?" Su Dingfang stabbed Han Shi'er in the heart unkindly.

"Su Dingfang, tell me how many soldiers and horses you have arranged for me?" Han Shi'e asked, his eyes fixed on Su Dingfang. A strong soldier is good at planning. Han Shi'e admired Su Dingfang's strategy! He led the troops to fight.

In his job, leading troops to kill enemies is already a thing of the past for him. How to arrange troops? How to take advantage of the situation, how to win with the minimum casualties for one's own side, this is what a commander should consider. What's more, at this time, Su Dingfang is

What he played was the most deadly "general" in war games! How to break the game? Han Shi'er was more concerned about this at this time!

"The total of all places is exactly ten thousand, and there are still twenty thousand in the city to ensure that Han Shuai cannot control the whole city quietly." Su Dingfang's answer was also very true. After all, Han Shi'er still knew how many soldiers and horses there were in Beiping Mansion.

The only thing I don't know is where the 10,000 troops he sent eight days ago went.

"What a difference of four ounces! In other words, if the Fierce Tiger Army does not get the news, and I can increase the troops in time, your four ounces will not work, right?" Although Han Shi'er admired Su Dingfang in his heart, but the soldier's integrity

, still makes him want to seize the last chance.

"That's not true. Didn't Han Shuai see that I came alone today? It's a matter of safety and survival. I can't just consider one situation." Su Dingfang's words were obviously telling Han Shi'er that he had other preparations.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Good on you, Su Dingfang!" Han Shi'er said three good words in a row and returned to his seat. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to compromise. Anyway, he didn't come here to contribute to the Beiping Mansion.

The conviction was just to adjudicate Su Dingfang's crime of beating the imperial official. So after Han Shi'er sat down, he turned to Luo Yi and asked: "Master Luo, what are we doing here today?"

"Oh! We want to hold Su Dingfang accountable for beating Master Cai Xu and the four generals Wu Fan, Huang Tao, Lu Han and Xiao Zhan." Luo Yi finally let go of his hanging heart. Seeing that Han Shi'e no longer pursued the case, he took advantage of the situation.

a step.

"Su Dingfang, can you admit to the beatings of Lord Cai Xu, Deputy General Wu Fan, Deputy General Huang Tao, Deputy General Lu Han and Deputy General Xiao Zhan?"

"Just these guys?" Who knew that Su Dingfang showed no respect when he spoke, "An old pervert, the other four can't even beat a woman, and he can also be a deputy general in the army. Han Shuai is really wise.

Pig!"

"Su Dingfang, I'm warning you, be respectful. I am the Minister of War, and you are not someone you can insult casually!" Cai Xu didn't hear that Su Dingfang took the opportunity to call him a pig, but the old pervert took it seriously.

"Ahem!" Han Shi'e also coughed twice at the right time, signaling Su Dingfang not to go too far, "The four generals Wu, Huang, and Lu Xiao are the favorite generals of the four generals Guo Ming, Chen Peng, Teng Tao, and Zheng Wei.

It is not appointed by me."

"I see, I understand!" After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he turned to Cai Xu and said, "Mr. Cai, did I insult you? If you hadn't been frivolous with Miss Jiang in Piaoranxuan last night, would I have beaten you?" Su Dingfang said that.

He was confident, but in fact, even if Jiang Ning wasn't there last night, he would have found something to do, but the person he beat wouldn't be Cai Xu.

"Han Shuai, listen, he admitted it!" Cai Xu pointed at Su Dingfang and said: "I was teasing the girl in Piaoranxuan, but didn't you sleep with Ziyuan from Piaoranxuan last night?

"Now that the matter has come to this, Cai Xu knows that he can't get out of the matter, so he thinks that he has to drag Su Dingfang into the water together.

"Master Cai, the imperial court has a clear law. Officials of the third rank are not allowed to enter or leave brothels. This is not the case in Beiping Mansion!" As soon as Su Dingfang said this, Han Shi'er whispered to Luo Yi and asked: "Master Luo Hou, what is the truth of Beiping Mansion?"

Isn’t there such a rule?”

"Not really." Luo Yi replied. But when he said this, he was calling Su Dingfang thick-skinned. The Beiping government did not have regulations prohibiting generals and officials from entering and exiting brothels, but this kind of thing could be written clearly.

? But there is no way, I can only help to smooth things over.

Although Cai Xu still wanted to make an argument about dividing the border between the imperial court and the Beiping government, Han Shi'e had to compromise before, so how could he dare to mention it again at this time.
