Chapter 737: Going north to the clouds, Duanmu makes a choice
Seeing that Chang Xiu was very excited, Huang Ping immediately persuaded: "Sister Chang Xiu, don't come hard, this will not benefit you or your brothers." He no longer referred to himself as a regular lieutenant, but called a sister, which brought the relationship closer again.
In fact, Chang Xiu was also angry just now, and he calmed down as soon as he said that, what can these 4,000 remnants do? Now the forces of all parties in the capital are entangled with nearly 400,000 troops, and not all of the 4,000 remnants of the original Beichen Army can enter the battle. When he broke through, Chai Shengnan used Zhan Ji Wushuang twice in succession, and many older people have overdrawn their physical functions, and I'm afraid that they are just surviving to survive.
But Chang Xiu is not an ordinary person, although she is also a general, but when she and Ruan Yu are Chai Shengnan's right and left hands, she always plays a civilian role, which is also recognized by the original Beichen Army. Although it was just a momentary angry talk just now, after thinking about it, Chang Xiu had an idea: "I don't plan to have a hard time with the court, I want to leave with my brothers." ”
"You're going to transfer troops privately?"
"It's not that serious, our army was not in the battle sequence of the capital, and now it doesn't even have a number, and it's useless to stay. ”
"Although this is the case, but where can you go? Could it be that which way of the princes will you go to?" Huang Ping was not optimistic about their future, and the death of Mo Yunhai and Chai Shengnan was because of those princes who were hungry for profit, how could the original Beichen army go to them to be eagle dogs. Moreover, the 'brand' of the Demon Master on their bodies is too deep, and ordinary princes do not dare to use it with confidence, and the end of these 4,000 people is likely to be scattered, reorganized, and cannon fodder.
"No, there's one more place to go, the Yunzhong Military Region. ”
"Huh!?" There is also this trick, Huang Ping didn't expect it, after all, he is a registered disciple of Tan Hua, the second generation of Butterfly Valley, and he has been serving in the Eastern Battalion, and the entire Yunzhong Military Region is the force of the Northern Battalion, although he knew the planned distribution, but he couldn't think of it for a while. Chang Xiu is different, although she joined the Kuizi Banner relatively late, but she still knows more about the Yunzhong Military Region.
The so-called Yunzhong Military Region is the privilege given by the imperial court to the Demon Cloud Sea, because Yunzhong County is the first line to resist the invasion of the demon clan, in order to immediately support the defense of the Great Wall, the Generalissimo's Mansion was specially set up in Yunzhong County to facilitate the unified dispatch of border passes. At the beginning of the invasion of the demon clan, the Demon Cloud Sea launched a border attack order to summon the forces of the world to fight against the demon clan. At that time, many people, including Lin Yue, first gathered in the military region and then set off for the border pass.
Due to the bitter cold of the border defense, it has been inconvenient to rely on other places to transport supplies, so Mo Yunhai organized the original Beida Battalion to open up livestock in the border city, which can barely be self-sufficient in peacetime, and then transported from the capital in wartime.
After the Great War against the Demons in the North, the Beida Battalion was almost crippled, and the military town originally set up to house the army and their families was also a lot empty, not to mention the 4,000 people, even if the 40,000 people were dispersed and arranged.
Due to the strength of the Demon Cloud Sea itself and the uniqueness of the Beida Battalion against the Demon Clan, the Yunzhong Military Region does not seem to have a strong sense of belonging to the imperial court, and in their opinion, the responsibility of the Beida Battalion can rise to protect the entire human race, rather than the world of one family and one surname.
After 70 or 80 years of operation, the Yunzhong Military Region system was formed isolated from the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the elite of the Beida Battalion trained daily to prepare for war, while the miscellaneous work was done by ordinary auxiliary soldiers, strong men and conscripts, prisoners assigned for crimes, and tens of thousands of slaves. In addition, there is also the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau, which is good at building cavalry equipment and siege tower vehicles.
Strictly speaking, the Yunzhong Military Region is like the Youcheng area controlled by the Ma family, forming a circular life circle within it, becoming a country within a state of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Such a place is rarely attacked by any of the princes, because it is too difficult to gnaw and the harvest is too small. Originally, it was barely self-sufficient, and it will definitely turn back into a wasteland after the war, and even if you take it at that time, you won't get anything. Besides, there is the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau, and if you want to attack, you have to prepare for a baptism of fire. Even if it was won with great difficulty, the people finally burned the jade and burned the manufacturing bureau, and in the end there was still nothing, and what was even more tragic was to directly face the demon clan outside the gate, so such a loss could not be done.
And because of the relationship between resisting the demon clan, the soldiers in the military region are not only elite, but also grouped, and they are extremely repulsive to people who are not in the Yunzhong Military Region.
At this point, the Kuizi Banner has an innate advantage, as long as the name of the iron-blooded eight-character banner is displayed in the Yunzhong Military Region, the generals from all walks of life will definitely be entertained with good wine and meat.
Huang Ping knew the key after listening to Chang Xiu's simple explanation, and then asked: "It's also a place, but I don't know what's going on over there now." ”
The last big battle directly destroyed the Beida Battalion, and the remaining soldiers were only twenty or thirty thousand, which looked like a lot, but when they were distributed to the entire military region and the Great Wall, it was really stretched, some passes only had a few hundred people, and some military towns were already empty. It is not comparable to the previous army of hundreds of thousands. The only thing to be thankful for is that the last big war also hit the demon clan hard, and I am afraid that there will be no more large-scale invasion of the demon clan in the next few decades.
With Chai Shengnan's face, it is very easy to carve out a territory in this vast and sparsely populated military region.
Chang Xiu said again: "There is another advantage of the garrison here, that is, to stay away from the political whirlpool and always be undefeated. ”
Huang Ping nodded: "That's right." ”
Political correctness is always a banner to be held high, and although there are disputes between princes, they must always find a great righteousness as a reason. For example, today there are only two forces, the court and the non-court. Even if they encountered betrayal and abandonment, Chang Xiu and others didn't want to be traitors and thieves. Then the problem is, if you don't obey the command of the imperial court, then you will be classified as a non-imperial court force like a prince. If you obey the command and look at the current situation, you will never end well. But they scattered on the spot and went back to their respective homes, and Chang Xiu and others were reluctant. In this case, you can only take the last road, the border.
In the civil war of the country, which is justified by the public and justified by the mother-in-law, we choose to fight against the demon clan on the border, showing the world that we do not participate in politics, do not divide interests, guard the bitter cold land in the north, and fight only for the survival and well-being of the entire human race. This is undoubtedly politically correct in front of any force. Even if the Yunzhong Military Region becomes a country within a country, everyone still has to praise their sacrifice and dedication.
The more the two of them chatted, the hotter they became, and the plan of this momentary atmosphere became more and more perfect. As for the reason for the 4,000 people going north, it was also thought out early, needless to say, the Beida battalion was stationed in the north, but they were only responsible for combat missions, and the auxiliaries who did other affairs were divided into two groups, which were changed every five years before and after, that is, if an ordinary soldier was not in the battle sequence, he would stay in the north for ten years at most, and he would not really be able to consume the white-haired soldiers in the city.
These 4,000 men were the auxiliaries on rotation. Although the reason is far-fetched, it is better than none in the end, and no one will be investigating it at this juncture.
Huang Ping finally said: "In that case, sister, can you count me as one?"
Chang Xiu said curiously: "Brother Huang is willing to give up this glory?" Huang Ping, who now has a title and an official position, naturally cannot be transferred at will, if he applies to go with Chang Xiu, it will undoubtedly expose their plans in advance, and it is difficult to guarantee what will happen, the safest way is for Huang Ping to resign and follow him north as a white body.
Although he gave up the glory and wealth, Huang Ping did not regret it, he was in his youth, just because he was not from the Song Party and the Second Prince Party, I am afraid it will be difficult to be reused in the future. Although he also knows his talents, he also knows that he is not the master who can turn the tide. Under normal circumstances, he can only be idle, but when it comes to the point where he has to be used, it is basically too late, and he may not have any other way than to die and serve the country as a funeral. It's okay to leave with Chang Xiu, even if it's better to be a small chief than to be a general of Fuxian.
After discussing, the two acted separately and agreed to set off north together before dawn the day after tomorrow.
......
In the Xianxia faction, Tang Xinyue took the time to come to Lin Yue to learn the body method in the past two days, and after hearing Lin Yue's name, she could have not intersected with Lin Yue, but for some reason she still came over, maybe she found that Lin Yue could change herself, or maybe she simply felt that Lin Yue was good to her. In an environment full of malice and contempt, the slightest kindness shown by others, Tang Xinyue will be happy from the bottom of his heart.
When she was a child, because she was pushed to work, she did the work of three people by herself, so she missed the meal, and when she was hungry, a young senior brother gave her a piece of cake, and she was even grateful for it. As a result, I found out that there was loess fine sand in the cake, and she saw that she ate a mouthful of soil and kept eating the soil, and the senior brother of the cake laughed, and several people came out of nowhere around and shouted: "The thief girl gnawed the loess, hahaha!"
Duanmu Ling, who was watching the two of them practice from a distance, couldn't help but think of the conversation between the master and him before.
Duanmu Ling's master, Zhang Yunyu, sat in the quiet room, and Duanmu Ling came in to pay respects: "Disciple to meet Master." ”
"Well, Ling'er, have you been hiding anything from me lately?"
"This ......" Duanmu Ling guessed that there must be something wrong when he was called over by the master, and it was probably related to Lin Yue. In fact, since Duanmu Ling led the team alone, the master had rarely asked her about it. When the child grows up, she naturally has her thoughts, and the master leads her into the door to practice by herself, and she doesn't even care about cultivation, not to mention the private life of her daughter's family.
Seeing Duanmu Ling's hesitation, Zhang Yunyu sighed and said, "You really made a good friend." ”
Duanmu Ling's face fell, sure enough, it was Lin Yue's matter, originally Lin Yue came to the Xianxia faction, in order to prevent mistakes, so she only said to the person who received her that it was Lin Shaoxia who was acquainted with the rivers and lakes. Other than that, it doesn't say anything about where it came from. It stands to reason that the person receiving the reception should ask clearly, if it reaches the level of Lin Yue, who is famous all over the world, he must report to the head and elders. Just because Duanmu Ling, the idol sister who was favored by the whole sect, smiled, and the reception of the disciples did not delve into it.
In previous years, there were many rookies in the rivers and lakes who had been acquainted with in the door, and it was not a big deal, after Lin Yue arrived, he either recuperated from his injuries or practiced marksmanship, except for Senior Sister Duanmu Ling's own cooking, there was nothing wrong with it.
As a result, Huang Ziqi sent Tang Xinyue to snoop, I am afraid that it will be known to the whole faction in less than half a day.
It's just that there is the robbery of the Xuanming Sect in the past, and Lin Yue's identity is more sensitive in the world, so as long as Lin Yue is silent, the elders of the Xianxia Sect don't want to have more contact.
Duanmu Ling immediately said: "The disciple knows his mistake, but the disciple didn't mean to hide it, it's just that he has injuries on his body and needs a place to recuperate, so I brought him back." ”
Zhang Yunyu's eyes flashed: "How much do you know about him, dare to bring it back to the mountain gate without permission?"
Duanmu Ling said: "Although I haven't been with him for a long time, I also have a friendship, and he saved my life in Binzhou at the beginning......" She told her and Lin Yue again, although Zhang Yunyu had heard her say it once before.
"Then you know his true identity"
"True identity?" Duanmu Ling shook his head.
"He occupied the capital and directly stabbed Xiangguo to death in front of the king and a group of civil and military personnel. Don't look at how much praise the world has for him, but in fact there are more people who are looking forward to his death, you are really ......"
Duanmu Ling bowed his head and was silent when he heard this, Huang Ziqi also said this, it is not clear who Lin Yue was chased and killed, whether it is the monster in his mouth is still to be discussed, but it really wants to cause trouble? In normal times, I am one of the five major sects of the Xuanmen, and I can't deal with a mortal? Just kidding!
But now everyone doesn't dare to be too arrogant, and the encounters of several other sects make the disciples of the Xianxia Sect feel uneasy, so they are very careful every step.
Duanmu Ling lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Master, I believe in him. ”
Zhang Yunyu sighed: "Do you know that Senior Brother Huang came to talk to me about that incident again, but you ...... now?"
Duanmu Ling's face was entangled, Huang Yunshan wanted her to be his daughter-in-law, and usually took good care of her, for this, Duanmu Ling was very helpless in his heart, and could only try to avoid the kindness and enthusiasm of this elder.
Duanmu Ling knew that the master was worried about himself, Huang Ziqi's qi was not big, and Huang Yunshan was more fond of his son, if he was really with Lin Yue...... I'm afraid there will be conflicts. But in fact, although Duanmu Ling clearly has the intention to refuse the Huang family's father and son, but she is ambiguous about Lin Yue, and now she is willing to accompany Lin Yue, and she is also willing to wash her hands and make soup for him, but she really has feelings for him, and Duanmu Ling herself is not clear, let alone sure.
Seeing her little apprentice's sad face, Zhang Yunyu only said that she was struggling to deal with the Huang family's father and son, so she said: "Ling'er, no matter what choice you make, the teacher can make decisions for you, and you don't need to worry too much." There is only one point, your choice must be notified in advance, so that you can mediate for you, so as not to delay for a longer period of time, the deeper the misunderstanding. ”
Duanmu Ling bowed deeply when he heard this: "The disciple thanked the master." ”
