The next afternoon.

Guan Hongye rode a war horse, took more than ten generals, and rushed to the outside of Nanyang City with fast horses.

As the vanguard army replaced the defense around Nanyang, the line from Nanyang to Makoushan was officially restored; the base camp of the rebels naturally advanced from Wuguan to Nanyang.

The bloodstains on the city wall were not dry, and the Xiliang army, who arrived first, was filling the corpses of the Chu army all over the ground.

On the top of the city, the Xiliang Army Flag waved the Xiliang Army Flag and showed off to his comrades the feat of breaking the city by hundreds of miles.

Yue Jiulou and the Xiliang generals who were walking with Guan Hongye were naturally honored to this and raised their weapons to respond; while the imperial generals next to them were shocked, and they believed that Xu Bulingzhen and two thousand people had broken Nanyang City.

Guan Hongye, wearing bright silver armor, saw a large number of Chu army corpses digging holes outside the city walls, and the disbelief in his eyes did not dissipate.

As a veteran who has led troops for many years, Guan Hongye can naturally use the wreckage all over the ground to introduce the battle situation in the past few days.

The battle was tragic, but most of the city walls were intact, with only the wreckage of a long ladder under the city wall; siege cars and other weapons could not get close to the city wall, and were destroyed and paralyzed a hundred steps away. This was not a trace left by normal siege. Guan Hongye wanted to break his head, but he couldn't figure out how this situation was caused.

After looking back and forth, Guan Hongye called a young imperial general who arrived in Nanyang in advance and asked:

"How did His Highness break the city? How did he defend the city?"

The young general followed Tu Qianchu's cavalry and had just arrived. He walked in front of him, with a little confused in his eyes:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince brought two thousand cavalry troops to the city broken through the south gate. Bei Zhi asked. The Xiliang Army said that the Crown Prince personally got into battle and led more than ten dead soldiers to kill the city wall. He opened the city gate from inside, and the Xiliang Army was able to enter..."

The staff and generals next to him were also concerned about this issue, and he said in confusion:

"The Nanyang Guards cannot have crossbow soldiers. It is true that His Highness, the Crown Prince, can climb the city wall with his bare hands, but how did he get under the city wall when he fired thousands of arrows at the same time?

The young general shook his head: "I don't know, I'll just kill it anyway. And I heard from the captive Chu army and the people in the city that when they attacked the city, there was thunder outside. It seemed that His Royal Highness invited a foreigner to cast spells. After a yell of 'Thunder Lord', the mysterious thunder from the sky destroyed the Chu army's siege car ladder. Bei Yi went to see the wreckage, and it seemed that he was struck by lightning..."

"Black thunder from the sky?"

"A master casts spell?"

"Lei Gong helps me?"

Guan Hongye and his staff were inexplicably the best. They definitely did not believe in this metaphysical theory. If they didn't explain this, they couldn't figure out how Xu Buling broke the city and defended the city.

The staff followed Guan Hongye and thought for a while: "General, when fighting, it is important to 'the right time, place, and people'. It is purely nonsense to ask the master to cast spells, but it is not impossible to occupy the time of the sky when the siege."

Guan Hongye also thinks this is the case. In history, the war between the two countries has not occurred when they hit each other's military camps. When they attacked the city, the earthquake knocked down the city walls. When they encountered such a son of destiny who was helping God, let alone two thousand, two hundred people could break into the camp of ten thousand.

But there are examples, and it is impossible to calculate the thing about Tianming in advance. How did Xu Buling know that the day of the siege will be windy and rainy, and the earth dragon will turn over?

Everyone was full of doubts and drove their horses to the general's mansion...

In the lobby of the General's Mansion, all the generals who arrived first were already sitting here. In the venue outside the lobby, several corpses covered with white cloth were placed neatly arranged on the ground, with Xiliang army helmets and battle knives placed beside them.

Dozens of generals sat upright, either silent or nervous, and the needles fell in the lobby.

Da da da da da

Xu Buling, wearing a white robe, sat on the chair of the Grand Master in the middle of the lobby, gently tapping the stone bricks on the ground with a long knife in his hand, his eyes were a little fierce, and he stared at the crowd outside the General's Mansion.

Guan Hongye and his subordinates walked into the general's mansion quickly. Seeing the fallen soldiers covered by white cloth on the ground, his heart skipped a beat and his steps were suddenly slowed down a little.

The generals and staff inside and outside the lobby were all silent, and the generals and staff inside and outside the lobby were lowered, and Yu Guang looked at Guan Hongye who was coming in.

Guan Hongye slowly walked through the road before the hall, his eyes kept turning. When he arrived outside the gate, he still regained the majesty that the coach should have. He strode into the hall and spoke:

"Crown Prince Xu is indeed extremely brave. If you make such a great contribution, the emperor's face is very happy..."

Smack

As soon as Guan Hongye's words came out, the sound of wood shattering suddenly came from the silent lobby.

Xu Buling sat down with the Grand Master's chair, and his whole body swept across the lobby like a falcon, and his blade was approaching Guan Hongye in front of the door.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

“No…”

There were screams in the lobby.

Guan Hongye's face changed suddenly and he quickly retreated.

The personal soldiers next to him rushed forward to stop him, but only a few military masters who protected Guan Hongye were like hitting a chariot when facing Xu Buling.

Xu Buling raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and the four personal soldiers flew out directly, smashing the door posts in the lobby.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

Guan Hongye's face turned pale and wanted to turn around and run away, but unfortunately, he was lifted up with his armor before he could finish his body.

Xu Buling grabbed Guan Hongye's stamina with one hand, his face was furious and murderous. He forced him to the corridor outside the lobby, pressed his head on the fence, and raised his hand and slashed it.

"No!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince calms down..."

More than a dozen imperial generals were shocked and hurriedly knelt down to persuade them, while some rushed to prevent them.

Yue Jiulou also rushed to the front and grabbed Xu Buling's arm:

"Don't calm down!"

Guan Hongye was pressed on the fence and said angrily:

"Xu Buling, you can't rebel! I am the commander appointed by the emperor, you are the one who is in charge..."

"I don't care who you are!"

Xu Buling pressed Guan Hongye tightly, grabbed his head, and looked at the several corpses on the ground:

"I led my troops to defeat Nanyang, have you ever greeted you in advance?"

Guan Hongye's face turned red and his armor rustled. He wanted to argue for a few words, but he couldn't speak.

"Ask you to ask for reinforcements, where are the reinforcements behind the city? If you hold on for a day and a night, if the reinforcements fail to reach the level, the soldiers will die in vain. Do you know what crime should be done according to military law?"

The generals of the court were so scared that their faces were pale. Guan Hongye's deputy general risked his life to come forward and hurriedly dissuade him:

"Your Highness, General Guan is deploying defenses in Wuguan. It is not advisable to move troops before Mashankou is broken. He has sent a message to the prince Pegasus to withdraw his troops..."

"Then you guys blame me for not using troops?"

Xu Buling was angry and grabbed Guan Hongye and looked at the lobby of the General's Mansion:

"Is Mashankou broken? Nanyang broken? Where are you standing now? Chu Army camp?"

Guan Hongye's face turned red like blood, his eyes were covered with blood, but he couldn't speak.

The generals of the court were speechless. After all, Guan Hongye could not get rid of the blame, but it was obviously not enough to cut Guan Hongye like this.

Vice General Guan Hongye said anxiously:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince calmed down! The prince and the soldiers of Xiliang made great contributions. Although General Guan had dereliction of duty, he could not pass the Nanyang without breaking the Mashan Pass. After General Guan learned the news, he rushed to help day and night. In fact, he did not arrive too late. He also relieved the siege of Nanyang and did not die..."

Xu Buling naturally knew that his sin would not die, otherwise he would have cut off Guan Hongye long ago, so he would have said so much nonsense. He stared at Guan Hongye and put his knife around his neck:

"As the head coach, he is afraid to go forward, and he is afraid to fight the rebellion? This time, he will spare your life. Next time, the Xiliang army will die one more person and pay your life to keep your family."

Guan Hongye was furious in his chest and abdomen, but he was unreasonable and did not dare to expose his anger, so he could only grit his teeth:

"Don't worry, if I have any dereliction of duty, I don't need the prince to take action, so I will raise my head to see the emperor."

Xu Buling's eyes were cold, and he glared at Guan Hongye for a moment before stabbing the knife in front of the lobby door. He turned around and carried the remains of his comrades out of the general's mansion with the soldiers of the Xiliang army.

The generals of the court breathed a sigh of relief, and no one dared to see Guan Hongye's face.

Guan Hongye stood in front of the lobby wearing handsome armor, his face sometimes red and sometimes white, and he held the handsome sword tightly in his hand. After Xu Buling's figure disappeared, he still stood for a long time before suppressing the emotions in his heart, turning around and slowly walking into the lobby.

There was a silence in the lobby, and everyone looked at their noses and their hearts, and they did not dare to comment on what had happened just now.

"Sit a lot, now Mashankou and Nanyang have been recovered, and the next step is Xiangyang..."

Guan Hongye sat upright on the chair of the Taishi, and as before, he began to arrange future marching arrangements. His tone was calm, neither happy nor angry, but his fingers kept trembling gently.

And the many generals in the lobby had no time to listen to these things now, Yu Guang looked at the knife at the door.

If the coach loses his majesty, what else can he call the coach?

Today I was speechless in front of Xu Buling. From now on, Xu Buling said the word "no" in various marching arrangements. Who should the soldiers listen to?

With this, it is obviously impossible for Guan Hongye to take charge of military power alone again... ——
