The two major military camps entrenched in the Cochin Plain are like two fierce tigers, after experiencing a number of mutual temptations, they finally put their minions on the bright side, the two sides did not start the war in a hurry, and the soldiers and bandits who had been prepared for a long time immediately formed an elite team to fight, even if the number of opponents was not equal, but the victory or defeat in this magnificent war was not yet known.

Half an hour before Jiang Ming stood in the military camp of Wohua Mountain, Lin Han and Liang Jin went to the battlefield with the elite, so Jiang Ming and Mu Ya did not have the opportunity to meet him. Jiang Ming had no complaints, this kind of form was quite common on the battlefield, so it can be seen that the war situation was already very serious.

Jiang Ming and the two sergeants who came out of Wohua Mountain stepped forward and checked in front of the officers at the entrance of the barracks, the officers of this management battalion had bronzed skin and were very burly, and standing in front of Jiang Ming and the three of them gave people an invisible sense of oppression. The two sergeants smiled and said, "General Du, we were ordered by the Sixth Commander to take the Hundred Brothers to the Jiaozhi Mountains to deal with the problem of invading the enemy army, and now we have completed the mission and asked to return to the camp, this is Jiang Minggongzi, a friend of the Sixth Commander." ”

The officer known as General Du was named Du Henghe, a general under Liang Jin, although he knew that his own commander and the six commanders had a deep friendship, but he was extremely disgusted with the style of several lieutenant generals under Lin Han who had no one in their eyes, because he had been fortified outside for a long time, and he didn't know about Wohua Mountain's Gou Chentai, so he thought that this Jiang Ming was also playing a score by relying on his relationship, so he only glanced at him contemptuously and said to the two sergeants. The general doesn't know when you will leave the camp, not to mention that the two commanders have strictly ordered that no one should come and go at will, you can lay down your arms and repair outside the camp, and I will naturally not treat you as an enemy. ”

The sergeant was angry, even if he was only a petty official, but when he heard Du Henghe's embarrassment, he didn't want to seek justice: "General Du, our group went to the Jiaozhi Mountains to suppress the enemy, not to go to the kiln in violation of military discipline, why did you stop us outside the camp? The two commanders have orders, and the generals have to obey it, naturally no one dares to object, but this is the head of the army, the brothers have been running around for most of the day to get here, Jiang Ming Gongzi is the same as us, he has not drunk half a mouthful, if you let the six commanders know, can you afford the consequences?"

Du Henghe sneered, "What consequences do I have to bear? I am ordered by the army to guard the barracks, and during the special war preparation period, selectively decide whether outsiders can enter, this is my duty, even if the second commander comes back, there is no reason to picket my crimes, please take your people back, so as not to hinder the entry of the outposts into the camp." ”

"You ......" The two sergeants didn't expect to be embarrassed by their own generals, and their faces were angry, but Du Heng and the burly posture stood there, giving people a direct oppression, and the minimum strength of the deputy general was a seven-stage person, and they were just ordinary sergeants.

Jiang Ming's face was a little heavy, but he still didn't have a seizure, he dragged the two sergeants back, and said to Du Henghe, "Don't bother, general, please retreat, you know the proportions, but if Liang Jin returns to the camp and knows about this matter and has grievances, the general must not be angry with us." ”

He spoke without a trace of arrogance, but also without a trace of humility, people are in power, with enough pride, Jiang Ming can't provoke, wait until Liang Jin and Lin Han return to make up their minds.

It's just that Du Henghe doesn't think so, his righteousness lies in the justice he has always upheld, even if the mountain master is here, he dares to stop these people, especially this person who has nothing to do with a certain commander. Du Heng said, "I think I still have the right to expel him, and the two commanders will not punish him, but it has nothing to do with Your Excellency." ”

Jiang Ming heard the target in his words, and it didn't seem to be aimed at anyone else, but obviously towards himself. He didn't remember when he had provoked the tall and stout general. Jiang Ming led more than a hundred people with two sergeants in the opposite direction of the barracks.

"Jiang Gongzi, this Du Heng and the general are in trouble for no reason, Pingli is very good at talking about everything, if it weren't for when we offended him?" asked a sergeant with a look of shame.

"I've never seen him since I came to Wohua Mountain, where can I get acquainted?" Jiang Ming shook his head, he looked a little melancholy, turned his head and asked Mu Ya, "Mu Ya, do you have anything you can do?"

Jiang Ming and Mu Ya have not known each other for a long time, but they have a sense of familiarity with Mu Ya, just like meeting Lin Han in a restaurant, this is life, this is the road. Mu Ya and Lin Han are completely different, Mu Ya is a traveler who lives with him, knows people with knowledge, and is a gentleman's friend; Lin Han is a chaser who lives with him, and it is a friend who promises people to believe. Jiang Ming is lucky.

Mu Ya said with a bitter face: "What can you do if the general is embarrassed? You don't succumb to him if you don't kill him?" You know this, but you still want to ask me, you should want to take these brothers to the battlefield, right?"

Jiang Ming smiled, took the brothers away from the barracks, and said loudly, "Brothers, which of you are the people who command your subordinates?"

More than a hundred people replied noisily, some belonged to the fifth battalion, some belonged to the eighth battalion, and some belonged to the second battalion, but the vast majority of them were from the sixth battalion, which belonged to Lin Han's subordinates.

Jiang Ming cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, everyone should know about me, I have an idea that needs to be asked for your opinions, if you are willing to follow me temporarily, I will take you to the battlefield there and win merit in front of your commanders."

。 ”

These people can be regarded as the elite of the Wohua Mountain team, even if they are busy all night, they are still in good spirits, and an older sergeant said, "My lord, son, or just call you a little brother, when Commander Lin Han sent us to support you, he instructed that everything is under the command of the little brother, if we are in the camp today, the commander will definitely take us to battle, how can the men of Wohua Mountain be afraid of death!"

The others responded one after another, and after half a day of getting along with Jiang Ming, they found that this person did not have the serious face of other generals, and it seemed that because he did not have a position, he was extremely stiff about giving orders, so there was not much restraint between his words.

Jiang Ming said with a smile: "The battlefield over there seems to be a lot of fighting now, if you kill the enemy and get merit, I will ask Lin Han and Liang Jin for rewarding you." ”

"I'll listen to orders!"

As the saying goes, dragons fight in the wild, and their blood is yellow.

In the warlock hexagram, heaven and earth are the greatest yang, the kun hexagram is the yao, and the dragon is yang, and the yang intersects but does not blend, which means that the country and the nation will fall into a huge disaster, so the war of the rise and fall of the dynasty is often called "dragon war".

This battle, which symbolized the first full-scale attack of the Qin Dynasty to suppress civil strife, has lasted for more than half a month, and both some knowledgeable people and learned officials have realized that there will be countless waves when the situation arises on all sides, so they have thrown themselves into the powerful protection to protect themselves. However, although some people have been tortured by the generals and ministers who are truly loyal to the country for spreading rumors of "Apocalypse Dragon War, Hundred Generations Change", so as to deter those who are restless, the factors that really brought the entire dynasty to the point of falling apart are far from being removed.

On the Jiaozhi Plain, Pang Lu sat on a high chariot and looked at the magnificent glaive array, tore the letter silk presented by the letter agent in his hand and threw it to the ground, and said angrily, "These silverfish on the pillars and beams really spend their minds on how to destroy the organs of the dynasty, but they are just some small bandits, and they have been passed on by these bastards to be some kind of 'Apocalypse Dragon War', how can this be reasonable! Disturb the people of the entire dynasty, these people are really a great disaster for the country, if they are caught by this governor, they will definitely eat the blood of these thieves!"

Lu Xingyang and Deng Zhun stood on both sides, both knowing that their anger was extremely strong, Deng Zhun naturally didn't dare to speak, but Lu Xingyang tiptoed over and said with a smile. Don't be angry, why be angry about some rumors, wait for the governor to take us to exterminate the Wohua mountain bandits, some rumors are of course self-defeating, I know that Lord Shangshu and the governor have always been at odds, this time the rumors spread by most of the Confucian students, even the leader heard that they are all students of Lord Shangshu, it is estimated that this matter is inseparable from the support of Lord Shangshu, after all, to increase the pressure of public opinion in this war with this rumor, it is tantamount to creating a psychological barrier to the governor, I think there will definitely be people who are happy to see the governor defeated, and suffer more punishment than before。 ”

Pang Lu's eyes froze, and he reprimanded, "Lu Xingyang, do you know what you just said, your words are clearly to provoke the relationship between the courtiers of the dynasty, don't say that this crime is you, even people at the prince level can't afford it." ”

Lu Xingyang knew that the official level crushed people to death, but even if Pang Lu scolded him like this, his face did not change at all, but deliberately cleared his throat and said, "Actually, the governor also knows very well in his heart, I don't know how many merits he has saved in the past, except for his own strength has not reached the ninth rank of the person, none of them is worse than the three major marshals of soldiers and horses, if you want to say that there is any general in the military department who can serve as the last vacancy of the northern generalissimo, who is still qualified if you don't go, Pang Dudu?" But Lord Shangshu is going to suppress you, the governor, because you are not a supporter of the Great Prince Qiuling, so he has repeatedly admonished you against taking this position, and the governor should know about it!"

Pang Lu bowed his head and was silent, obviously there was a change, Lu Xingyang snorted lightly and said, "Originally, this crackdown on bandits was just to eliminate the mountain bandits and continue to endanger the people, even if it takes more time, even if it suffers some losses in the mountains and forests, it is completely common for the generals who lead the troops to fight, but once this battle is named 'Dragon War', it means that the governor represents the future of the entire dynasty, once the consequences of defeat can be known, this plan will not bear the governor to fall into the head of the people, but bluntly tell him, please punish the governor." ”

After Lu Xingyang finished speaking, he unloaded his sword and knelt aside, Deng Zhun was very panicked when he saw this, and he also knelt down.

Pang Lu sighed lightly, it seemed that he felt a lot older for a moment, he had fought countless battles in his life, often won and lost, but also made countless meritorious contributions, and the fame and fortune he was chasing could not wait in this twilight year, Lu Xingyang said in his heart, the vacant position of generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses should be his position, but some people just didn't let him get his wish.

Pang Lu is now a supporter of the eleventh prince Qiuzeng, but in fact, he has no real power to support him, he has already made up his mind to dismiss his armor and return to the field, but the blood red agate case in the middle of the year once again singled out his name from the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. The chief of the inner prison held the holy book in front of the Pang Mansion and asked him if he could still fight for the general. Pang Lu replied at that time, "Nian Huajia, rice bucket rice, ten catties, although Pang Lu is old, he can fight!"

Pang Lu embarked on the road of suppressing bandits with the desire to die and survive, but he still couldn't avoid some battles, the undercurrent of the struggle between the princes and the whirlpool of power between the courtiers once made it difficult for him to hold on, even if he was far away in the remote land of the dynasty, he couldn't hide, if he was defeated, everything in the past might be overthrown, the cruelty of this ending, even if it was described as "rabbit dead dog cooking", it was not an exaggeration, so he sighed.

Lu Xingyang said again, "Governor, His Majesty the Emperor has not left us much time, the two generals of Jin Lin and Zhu Gai have less than 30,000 people, and it is difficult to break through the mountain bandits in a short time, so if you want to open the gateway of Wohua Mountain, you must start from the area of Jiaozhi City and Jiaozhi Mountain Range, and the governor is under great pressure." ”

Pang Lu heard what he said, but it was vague, so he said, "What do you want to say?" Now that Bendu has laid out the Glaive Array, and introduced Liang Jin and Lin Han led by the mountain bandits into the formation with the plan of inviting you into the urn, even if they don't die today, their men will suffer heavy casualties, and our strong attack will save a lot of effort, otherwise we will be able to break through the bandit camp. ”

Lu Xingyang said, "The governor is underestimating the last general, although I am only a martial artist, but I also know the book of soldiers, if it is so easy to attack the camp, at this time, the governor will send a cavalry to attack the camp early, wouldn't it be easier to win?" The governor knew the strength of those two people, they must first consolidate the military camp when they went to war, and the famous plain combat force in the Wohua Mountain was the 3,000 heavy cavalry of the second commander Liang Jin, although the number was only 3,000, but once the defense in the plain area was advanced, even the 30,000 infantry could not help it, this was their biggest reliance, and it was also our biggest threat. ”

Pang Lu said, "You are right, but the governor is afraid of heavy cavalry. If you have anything to say, don't be blunt, Deng Zhun is my person, don't doubt it. ”

Lu Xingyang nodded and said, "Governor, although the generals have not brought out the power of the Glaive Array today, even if they can't kill either of Liang Jin and Lin Han, it is understandable, but after this fiasco, they will definitely not dare to attack easily, this is our opportunity." ”

Pang Lu pondered for a while, "Although their military camp is backed by mountains, it is not bordered by forests, and there are no rivers or waves, according to the art of war, the law of water and fire cannot be invaded, and their military camp is as strong as a tortoiseshell. ”

Lu Xingyang said, "Ordinary methods are naturally not feasible, but I have three introductions to try." ”

"What introduction?" asked Pang Lu.

"Two art of war, one hell. Lu Xingyang looked at Pang Lu and said with a ruthless smile: "First, General Li Zhengxing has two thousand elite greedy wolf cavalry, and the cavalry disturbs the enemy camp, and the heavy cavalry of Liangjin will inevitably be dispatched to crush the invaders, and when the greedy wolf cavalry leads the heavy cavalry out of the enemy camp, our army can attack to the side on a dangerous road, and the odds of victory can be seven or three points." ”

Pang Lu nodded, and said, "This method is too cruel, the greedy wolf rider who is sent out will definitely die, even if it can greatly reduce the casualties of the overall army, but I am afraid that General Li Zhengxing will not agree." ”

Lu Xingyang did not persuade again, and said, "Second, the overall combat quality of our army's armored soldiers is not as good as the bandits in Wohua Mountain, which is closely related to the perennial deserted military, but I know that there is a hero named Xu Cong in this Jiaozhi City, who has the ability to raise soldiers and raise soldiers. But the difficulty is that although Xu Cong is extremely good in armor, he can't be as flexible as the light cavalry, and it is quite difficult to lead them out of the camp, and in the face of the crushing of the heavy cavalry, there must be death or life, and the odds of victory can be four or six points. ”

Pang Lu nodded again and said, "This method is feasible, but the restriction is also very obvious, if you can't attract their heavy cavalry, the method will be useless." But this Xu Cong can use it, but he is a talent. Let's talk about the last one. ”

Lu Xingyang smiled faintly, as if he had already guessed Pang Lu's reaction, so he pretended to hesitate and said slowly, "The reason why this last one is called Hell Yin is definitely different from the first two, the difference is that it will not be accepted, even if it is a governor, I am afraid it can't." ”

Pang Lu frowned angrily and reprimanded, "If it is available, even if it is not acceptable, I can use it, say it quickly." ”

Lu Xingyang leaned over and whispered a few words in Pang Lu's ear: "Sulfur fire bomb." ”

This name may be unfamiliar to some new generals, but it is as clear as yesterday for Pang Lu, who has experienced more than 30 years of war, that firearm used by the entire Zhu Tianye because of its too strong lethality was once used by the rebel bandits, causing unpredictable damage to countless dynasties and countries, if it is not used in time, maybe the number of the entire Zhu Tianye will be greatly reduced.

Pang Lu shouted angrily, "Bold Lu Xingyang, you actually said such things that don't know the seriousness, do you know ......?"

Lu Xingyang hurriedly knelt on the ground, pressed his head very low, but his expression was still calm, "The governor is angry, and the last general will know his mistake." ”

Seeing that Lu Xingyang admitted his mistake so quickly, Pang Lu immediately sorted out his thoughts, and he couldn't blame anything for such an attitude, after all, he just said a word. But as soon as this thought was channeled, he retreated like a honeyed bee butterfly, and this series of words seemed to be arranged, leading him step by step to the final topic, and he couldn't help but have a deeper fear.

Who is so speculative about people's hearts as if they are precise? Who is in control of the chess game and is so clear? If it is the strategy of the enemy country, wouldn't the Qin Dynasty be weakened step by step by this? Pang Lu was exhausted, and he was mentally tired because of old age, he glanced at Lu Xingyang who was kneeling on the ground, and he didn't bother to ask him who he was, so he only said softly, "You are not allowed to mention it in the future, as for other schemes, this governor has his own considerations." ”

"Governor Xie!" An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xingyang's mouth, he knew that Pang Lu was starting to move, no matter which plan he chose, his mission would be considered a success.
