Chapter 141 Protecting the Crown Prince
In the north of Annan Plain, at the foot of Fulu Mountain.

More than 1000 years ago, the overlord of the north expanded the territory to Guangxin County, and the Southern Feng immediately became a minister and paid tribute.

The emperor then recognized the status of King Nanfeng, and rewarded a lot of gold and silver treasures as gifts, including two rare fairy deer.

At that time, the king of Nanfeng was grateful and led his subjects to welcome him for more than five hundred miles.

This Fulu Mountain is the place where King Nanfeng received the mission of the northern Central Plains overlord.

Zhang Fu waved his hand distractedly, trying to get rid of the thick white mist in front of his eyes.

Unfortunately, it came back in vain.

Raising his head, he reluctantly looked north.

Three days ago Zhang Fu was ordered to lead 3 people from Hushou Pass back to aid the capital, but only halfway there, the Cloud Piercing Arrow rose from behind.

After repeated confirmation, he dared to confirm that it was the message from Hushou Pass.

Zhang Fu knew the importance of Huchouguan to Nanfeng.

Without hesitation, he ordered the team to turn around and head north again.

Hurry up, hurry up, and then return to the foot of Fulu Mountain.However, looking at the blurry mountains in front of him, he hesitated.

Ren Ning was afraid of an ambush on the mountain, but Zhang Fu was not afraid.

"Report! Secret letter from the capital."

The dense fog suddenly broke through, and two wet soldiers came rushing forward.

"General," the two of them wiped away the mist on their faces at the same time, "There are rumors in the capital that Wang Shizi left the capital overnight to go to the south to check the fish tax."

Zhang Fu took the secret letter and was checking the wax paint, when he heard this, his heart sank.

What kind of shit fish tax is being checked at this time?
It is clear that the king and the ministers are not confident that they can hold the capital, so they had to let the prince take refuge in the south first, lest the blood of the royal family be taken away by Yun Chui.

"Confused!" He gritted his teeth and glanced south.

"Those idiot ministers who are greedy for life and afraid of death! It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than failure."

Apart from his 3 horses on the Annan Plain under his feet, there are still more than [-] people chasing the main force of the Starfall Army.

No matter how you look at it, it's because you have a large number of people, and the son left the capital first.

Once the news spread, what would the people in the capital think, and what would the hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city think? Wouldn't their morale be lost?

How can we fight this battle!
"Is the capital still safe?" He asked while opening the letter.

The two nodded quickly: "Return to the general, the Starfall Legion is only wandering around the capital, and has never attacked the capital. The capital is safe and sound."

Zhang Fu was furious, "What about the [-] soldiers near the capital, are they all dead? Why don't you attack Xingluoren and drive them away?"

cough!
The two looked at each other and coughed in embarrassment, "I don't know the specific situation. It is said that the generals are closing the encirclement, but..."

It's just that no one dared to stand in front of the Starfall Legion.

Ugh!
Zhang Fuchang sighed, didn't ask any more questions, and read the letter directly.

The more you look at him, the uglier his face becomes.

The content of the letter is not long.

The king of Nanfeng ordered him to immediately lead his troops across the capital and go south to protect the son of the fish tax.

what?
Zhang Fu re-read the contents of the secret letter in disbelief, fixedly staring at the seal inside, discerning again and again.

The secret letter is true, it was indeed written by King Nanfeng.

"General, in the letter..." The three nearby commanders couldn't help coming over.

"Look for yourselves." Zhang Fu put the letter into their hands with a dark face.

Several people looked down, and soon their expressions changed.

"General, what should we do?" Someone said.

How to do?
Zhang Fu paced anxiously back and forth.

He knew Nanfeng Wang Shizi.

Eight years ago, Prince Nanfeng's son went to Yunchui Guozijian to study, and Zhang Fu was the chief guard at that time.

During the three years of studying, the two can be said to be both monarchs and ministers, and they love each other like father and son.

Having been by his side for many years, Zhang Fu has seen all the actions of this son, so it can be said that he knows everything about him.

This is a child who studies hard and thinks hard, and has fully accepted Yun Chui's cultural thinking.Maybe he is not as aggressive as his ancestors, but he is definitely a person who values ​​affection and righteousness.

It is precisely because of this experience that it can be said that as long as the son is alive and eventually becomes the king of Nanfeng, Zhang Fu's status will only increase.

As for Yunchui's Changxing Emperor, Zhang Fu also thought about it carefully during those three years.

This emperor has the usual faults of Yunchui emperors.

As long as the neighboring countries pay lip service to the Kingdom of Heaven, they call themselves courtiers.

He would wave his hand and talk about a bunch of kind-hearted truths.

The friction at the border will eventually be reduced to a minor one.

Sometimes even turn around and reward a lot of property, the value of which is far more valuable than the tribute presented.

only this time...

The Starfall Legion approached the city, and Hushou Pass was directly broken.

Zhang Fu pulled out a beard, feeling a little uncertain in his heart.

Is Yun Chui going to stop as usual, or is he really going to destroy Nan Feng?

If it's the end, and I resist the king's order to attack the Xingluo Army, let alone whether I can beat it, I'm afraid it will not please both sides in the end.

If Yun Chui was going to make a real move, even if he accompanied his 3 horses, it would probably be a drop in the bucket...

Thinking of this, Zhang Fu couldn't help but look at the secret letter.

Report!
Just thinking about it, another report sounded.

"General, urgent news from the north. All the horses and horses in Zhennan Pass are dispatched, and the supplies and supplies are boarding the ship. Fifty thousand infantry have passed Hushou Pass and are coming south along the post road."

"Board the ship with supplies and supplies..." Zhang Fu's heart skipped a beat, "It seems this time it's for real."

He looked up at Fulu Mountain next to him.

The mountain pass is narrow and misty, so this is a good place to ambush.In addition to waiting for work with ease, it is possible to eat up the 5 people in Zhennanguan in one go.

With the same number of 3 people, he is not very sure about the famous Starfall Legion.

But against the old opponent of Shangzhen Nanguan, even if the opponent has 5 people, Zhang Fu is not at all awkward.

He hurriedly asked: "Are there only 5 people in Zhennanguan? Where are the other people?"

Zhang Fu was in a hurry to return to the capital three days ago, and Zhang Fu didn't know how the Hushou Pass was broken.

But the fortifications inside and outside the Hushou Pass also had his share of painstaking efforts, and Zhang Fu knew how powerful he was.It is absolutely impossible to break through Hushou Pass in one day and one night only with the troops of Zhennan Pass.

"Back to the general, there is not enough time, and the situation is unknown."

Zhang Fu nodded in understanding.

Seeing the cloud-piercing arrow in the sky, and knowing that Hushouguan was in danger, he immediately ordered the soldiers to turn around and come back for help.

However, the fog was too heavy, and it was difficult for the large troops to move. They had just reached the foot of Fulu Mountain.

The spies probably only went to Hushou Pass or Zhennan Pass. It was really not easy to figure out what happened in such a short time.

"However, about [-] Yunchui soldiers in strange clothes have already gone south first. It is less than [-] miles away from the Nanguan troops in the [-] town behind." Xiaobing added.

He described what it looked like under a raincoat.

"It's just the pioneers to find the way." Zhang Fu disagreed.

Several ten thousand heads also nodded in agreement.

In this way, it is impossible to ambush or even eat the 5 horses behind.

Zhang Fu no longer hesitated, "pass on the order, the front army will become the rear army, and the rear army will become the front army. Let's go south!"

Across the capital to protect the prince who checked the fish tax.
