Chapter 222 The Mountain Rain Is Coming
Hearing that there was an urgent letter from Yangzhou City, Nie Zheng's face darkened, and he secretly wondered: "I have just arrived in Jiangxi for less than a day, and there is an urgent letter from Yangzhou, so why is there something wrong? "

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng became extremely irritable.

Looking at the messenger soldier standing under the hall, Nie Zheng raised his hand and said, "Submit it!"

Hearing this, the messenger soldier immediately bowed his head, held the letter in both hands respectfully, and handed it to the desk.

Nie Zheng frowned, picked up the letter, quickly opened it, and his face became gloomy on the spot.

Seeing that the general's expression was suddenly a little strange, Niu Meng, who was guarding the side, couldn't help asking curiously: "Commander, could there be trouble in Yangzhou City?"

Nie Zheng slowly put down the letter, shook his head and said, "There is no trouble in Yangzhou City, but those Da Yue people are already ready to move."

After saying that, Nie Zheng handed the letter in his hand to Niu Meng behind him, letting him read it by himself.

Niu Meng was full of doubts, picked up the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but lost his voice on the spot: "What, King Sangkang of Dayue has dispatched troops to the south bank of the Mekong River, and is going to come to Yangzhou to attack us."

Nie Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, it is estimated that this group of Da Yue people will come to Yangzhou in a short time."

Niu Meng took a deep breath and said, "Marshal, shall we set off now and rush back?"

Nie Zheng said with a blank expression on his face: "Leave the order to leave 200 troops stationed in Linjiang County, and the rest of the troops will all return to Yangzhou with me."

"Obey, Commander!"

After receiving the order, Niu Meng immediately punched Nie Zheng, then quickly left the county office and went down to prepare.

After Niu Meng left the county office, Nie Zheng looked at Lu Chengfeng and Li Yuhe who were standing on both sides of the desk, and said, "I'll lead the people back to Yangzhou City later, I hope that after I leave Linjiang, you guys The two can work together to bring Linjiang County back to normal as soon as possible."

After hearing Nie Zheng's instructions, the two nodded, and cupped their hands in unison: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely do my best to manage Linjiang well."

"So good!"

………………

After explaining everything, around nine o'clock in the evening, Nie Zheng led Niu Meng and others back to Yangzhou City overnight.

Originally, when Nie Zheng came here last night, he brought three hundred dragon and tiger cavalry with him. Since Su Dongshan led more than 100 remnants of Wuyang to leave today, the city of Linjiang County was short of troops and the city defense was empty, so Nie Zheng stayed behind. 200 troops were sent to assist Lu Chengfeng in defending the city.

Nie Zheng's 200 troops, together with the more than 100 dragon and tiger rebels in Linjiang County, add up to nearly [-] soldiers, which should be enough to garrison a county.

The recent weather is very good, the sun shines brightly every day, but at night, there are stars and no moon, the vast wilderness, and darkness.

Nie Zheng led the crowd out of Linjiang City and headed straight for Yangzhou.

Above the vast wilderness, a trail of smoke and dust was raised in an instant, billowing away.

From returning to the city yesterday until tonight, for a whole day and night, the people led by Nie Zheng have not closed their eyes, so they looked a little tired.

But fortunately, everyone's martial arts foundation is good, so this bit of credit is nothing.

Originally, Nie Zheng could rest in Linjiang County for one night before returning to Yangzhou, but since he received the urgent letter from Zhoucheng, he couldn't stay there anymore. He wished he could go back to Zhoucheng as soon as possible. .

The urgent letter tonight was written by Yi Zixuan.

Since the letter was only a few words, apart from telling Nie Zheng that King Sangkang of Dayue was about to lead his army to kill him, Yi Zixuan didn't write in detail about the specific situation.

After all, the letter paper is only so big, it is impossible to present all the information on it completely.

So, what exactly is going on, we still have to wait until Nie Zheng returns to the city before he can report in person and discuss it in detail.

However, Yi Zixuan specifically mentioned in the letter that the information this time was sent back by Chen Shou, which made Nie Zheng quite gratified.

When Yangzhou was captured last time, Nie Zheng was actually quite disappointed with Chen Shou in his heart, thinking that he was not a qualified sniper captain at all, so he was sent to spy outside the city to be responsible for collecting intelligence.

But what surprised Nie Zheng was that Chen Shou not only possessed a super talent for shooting, but also seemed to have a strong talent for espionage and intelligence gathering.

It is said that he went deep into the enemy's rear this time and collected a lot of valuable intelligence.

It seems that even if he is not allowed to be the leader of the snipers in the future, it would be a good choice to arrange him to be a scout captain.

In this way, under the leadership of Nie Zheng, hundreds of fine riders, after a day and a night of fast driving, finally arrived at Yangzhou City smoothly on the second night.

………………

It was late at night again.

County mansion, Jinlin Court.

After Nie Zheng returned to the city, he immediately rushed back to the Siya Factory without stopping.

As soon as he entered Jinlin Garden, Nie Zheng went straight to the study, ignoring Shen Hongyu and the others.

Inside the study, Yi Zixuan was already waiting inside.

After entering the study, Nie Zheng saw Yi Zixuan sitting beside the coffee table, just making tea.

"Master, you are back."

After saying that, Yi Zixuan got up to salute.

Seeing this, Nie Zheng waved his hands hastily and said, "Uncle Yi, you're welcome, it's just the two of us, there is no need for too much courtesy."

The two sat facing each other. This time, Yi Zixuan poured hot tea for Nie Zheng, handed it over, and said, "Young Eagle, what's the result of going to Linjiang this time?"

"Su Dongshan is gone!"

Nie Zheng picked up the teacup and said calmly: "He left with a group of elite confidants under his command, but there are still a large number of people in Wuyangzhai who did not leave with him. It must be some family members."

Yi Zixuan nodded, and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. This person is short-sighted and can't accomplish anything. It's better to leave."

"By the way, Uncle Yi, Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie don't have any ideas, do they?"

"Whatever ideas they have, they are all smart people. Besides, they are all people with clear senses. Whether it is their heart or vision, they are much better than Su Dongshan from Wuyang Peak."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and said: "In this way, I feel relieved. By the way, Uncle Yi, you sent an urgent letter to Linjiang last night, saying that King Sangkang of Dayue is about to lead his troops. What exactly is going on?"

Seeing that he got to the point, Yi Zixuan brushed his long beard and said slowly: "Yesterday afternoon, Chen Shou, who went deep into the enemy's rear to spy on the news, suddenly sent back a secret letter. According to the information he detected, he said that this During a period of time, the group of Da Yue people frequently dispatched troops and generals in the western region of Annan, gathering troops and horses, and in the past half a month, there have been several waves of Da Yue troops, and they drove to Zengzhou in an endless stream."

"Zengzhou?"

Nie Zheng frowned, and said, "Zengzhou is less than three hundred miles away from Yangzhou. From the looks of it, these Da Yue people are really planning to counterattack this time."

Yi Zixuan nodded, and said with a dignified expression: "This time, the people of Dayue are probably going to make a serious move. According to Chen Shou's letter, Sangkang seems to have won a series of victories in Burma and occupied Burma. Most of the territory of the country, and now, Sang Kang is leading [-] tribal elites and giant elephant cavalry to return in triumph."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's expression darkened, and he said, "If the information is true, it may not be long before Sang Kang will lead an elite army to Yangzhou to kill us."

Yi Zixuan nodded, and said: "As I thought, I have been thinking about it today. With the elite troops led by Sang Kang, if they attack in one go, the entire Myanmar will fall sooner or later. After the victory, he suddenly led the elite troops to retreat. It can be seen from this that he seems to be extremely afraid of our occupation of Yangzhou, and in his eyes, our tens of thousands of dragon and tiger rebels composed of mobs are even more powerful than Burma. Let him be vigilant with the remaining troops, it seems that this Sangkang is by no means an idler."

Nie Zheng took a sip of his tea, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's probably our firearms that made Sang Kang wary. Therefore, he feels that our threat is far greater than other people."

Yi Zixuan also deeply agrees with Nie Zheng's words.

Although he has only come to Annan not long ago, before Nie Zheng led an army of five thousand dragons and tigers, he had fought against the Dayue people several times.

Every time, it was Nie Zheng and the others who relied on the advantage of firearms to win more with less, and even annihilated and defeated the Dai Viet army several times without many casualties.

Even in Yangzhou City, which was guarded by [-] Da Yue troops, it took only one night for Nie Zheng to completely break through the city defenses, and then occupied the entire city like a broken bamboo.

Such a ferocious combat power is rare in the world.

Therefore, after Sang Kang learned of this, he must have been extremely shocked.

It is estimated that from now on, Sang Kang has listed Nie Zheng as his number one enemy. If Nie Zheng is not wiped out as soon as possible, Sang Kang will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.

Thinking of this, Yi Zixuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Young Eagle, I heard that you were assassinated by the Snake God Sect last time at the foot of Wufeng Mountain?"

Nie Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, the Snake God Cult sent gold and silver envoys from the Snake God Cult to lead the two most elite forces in the Snake God Cult: Ghost Batrider and Silver Snake Dark Armor to ambush and assassinate me. , Except for the gold and silver envoys who were wounded and escaped, the rest of the elite of the Snake God Sect were all killed by me with firearms."

Hearing this, Yi Zixuan took a deep breath, frowned, and said: "Even the Snake God Cult has taken action, it seems that this time the people of Dayue really wanted to kill you, in the future you must Guards must be strengthened to avoid being plotted by the Dai Viet people."

Nie Zheng raised his brows and said, "Why, Uncle Yi, do you think the Da Yue people will come to assassinate me?"

Yi Zixuan shook his head, and said with a solemn expression: "If it is an ordinary Da Yue assassin, we can handle it, but we are afraid that the blood slaughter city will come in person. At that time, there will be no one in the entire Dragon and Tiger Army who is his opponent. .”

Nie Zheng was shocked, and said, "The leader of the snake god Xue Tucheng, is he really that powerful?"

Yi Zixuan nodded, and sighed: "Xue Tucheng is known as the number one master in Nanyang. This person is not only unfathomable in cultivation, but also good at various evil techniques. Even Sun Shangen, the master of the Song Dynasty, could hardly compete with him." The winner will be determined. Xue Tucheng has a strange personality and does not act according to common sense, but he is very defensive. The Golden Snake Holy Envoy you seriously injured with a firearm this time is one of his most beloved apprentices. It is estimated that it will not be long. He will definitely will come to seek revenge."
