This year's snow in Jibei came later than in previous years, but it fell heavier than in previous years. During the period, it stopped and stopped, and stopped and stopped. For those Mexicans who have lived in the south for many years, this is nothing short of a nightmare.

In contrast, the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country, which came from afar, was not very happy about this snow. Lei Che believes that all this is a godsend. Therefore, after breaking through the stone wall of Juelong Mountain, he took those Mexican people as his primary prey.

Before the Ji Dynasty was divided into the east and west due to the "Chiyan Rebellion", the "Jibei" in a broad sense included the Tianwu Kingdom, the Qianlei Kingdom, the Shu Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom, the four most powerful vassal states of the Ji Dynasty.

After that, the "Chiyan Rebellion" occurred, and the east and west were divided.

As a result, the "Jibei" in the Dongji population includes the Shu Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom and some small vassal states around it. And the "Jibei" in the population of Xiji has become the territory guarded by the Tianwu Kingdom and the Thousand Thunder Kingdom.

The "Jibei" of the two dynasties had the same climate.

Both autumn and winter are long, and spring and summer are short.

And autumn and winter are colder than elsewhere.

So in the winter of Jibei against the Mexicans, Lei Che was very confident that he would catch them all. This is the same as the northerners are not familiar with the nature of the water, so they are not good at fighting in the water, while the southerners are difficult to endure the cold, so it is difficult to resist the sword in the snow.

Right now, the news of Lei Yi's capture has reached the ears of this Thousand Thunder Country Lord. This overlord in the eyes of everyone, after contrivedly showing the extreme grief and anger that a loving father should have, forgave Qingyan, who was defeated by the rescue soldiers and returned alone, and took all the reasons for the failure on himself.

Those old ministers of the Thousand Thunder Country were very appreciative of Lei Che's set, and they burst into tears, swearing that even if they died, they would help Lei Che set foot north of Dongji and rescue the prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom who was captured by the Shu Kingdom.

Gu Yu saw all this in his eyes and didn't say anything.

All these things that are happening so far seem to be expected by her. So there are no surprises. After all, he is also a "fallen feather" who has lived for almost a thousand years, and what should have been seen through has already been seen through, and what should have been guessed will not deviate much.

There are always some similarities in history, and there should be logic to be found in the sophistication of human feelings. The only thing that is unpredictable is the "change" itself. It's like an accident, fascinating and daunting. "Change" can turn bad news into good news, and at the same time, good news into bad news.

At this moment, Gu Yu didn't know whether the returning "Qingyan" was good news or bad news for her. Because, she felt that the child in front of her was still what she knew, but in fact it didn't seem to be like this.

When the scarlet eyes touched the black and bloody pupils.

The world of nothingness shrouded Gu Yu in an instant.

There is no light or shadow, only the sound of the wind.

As she sniffed, she could smell the dust.

For her doubts, Qing Yan smiled slightly.

Then, a blue flame illuminates the place.

As a result, the originally empty world suddenly had light.

"Dare to ask Allah what kind of place this is. Looking at the man in front of him, Gu Yu asked curiously, his tone was full of respect, and his eyes were solemn.

"This is what the real world will look like after it dies. Between the words, Qingyan said with some regret, "Where do you think this is?"

"The servant thought it was just a dream. Gu Yu said cautiously, "A dream of yours." ”

"Hahahahaha," Qingyan listened and looked up to the sky and laughed. Gu Yu thought that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't dare to say more. When the laughter settled, Qing Yan reached out and gently lifted her chin, and then said slowly, "If this is really my dream, I'm afraid it will be a nightmare." ”

"A servant must follow Allah to the death!"

Gu Yu said in a panic, not daring to look directly at "Shuo" who had a green face at the moment. "Shuo" did not make it difficult for Gu Yu. He slowly withdrew the index and middle fingers that lifted Gu Yu's chin, and did not forget to remind her: "I don't want to stay in this empty world forever. ”

"Shuo" stood in front of Gu Yu with his hands in his hands, and said lightly:

"Our time has come. ”

Before Gu Yu could react, the blue flames centered on her and Shuo, igniting this void world in an instant. Then, in an instant, the whole world was reborn from the ashes, and the two of them were unscathed.

"This is?!"

When the blue flame ignited again, an ancient palace appeared in Gu Yu's eyes. The giant sacred tree stretched the heavens and the earth, and the eternal song echoed in the ears. When he raised his eyes, twelve depraved people with outstretched black wings surrounded the sky dome, and a golden glass lamp swirled.

"This is here?!"

Gu Yu couldn't help but lose his voice.

"Dark Star City?"

"Shuo" smiled slightly.

......

On October 27, at the junction of Yaoguang City and Mingyue City,

The Julong Mountains are along the edge of the Reverse Scale Valley, at night.

The snow kept falling and it didn't stop.

Along the way, the army of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom has been advancing along the border of the Juelong Mountain Range. In order not to get lost in this heavy snowfall. According to the location marked on the map, Yaoguang City was close to Jingwei Pass and had its back to the Juelong Mountain Range, so they only had to go south along the Juelong Mountain Range.

However, when the army of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom was halfway through, Lei Che suddenly ordered the whole army to camp on the spot. Before everyone guessed Lei Che's true intentions, many veterans of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom gathered Lei Che in the Chinese army camp and began to discuss the next strategic layout around a war sand table.

Such a sudden move made everyone a little dazed.

But smart people will find that all the people who participated in this meeting were high-ranking generals of the Thousand Thunder Country. No one from the Heavenly Martial Kingdom was present. It can be said that this was an internal strategy meeting held by Lei Che. The official in charge of the military rations and baggage reported the situation of the baggage to Lei Che in detail, which allowed Lei Che to determine how long he would be stationed here.

Then the baggage officer retreated, and only Lei Che and the veterans who had followed him on the battlefield for a long time were left in the Chinese army camp. Between the flickering candles, Lei Che's gaze swirled around the bodies of these veterans, and finally fell back to the sand table of war.

"The fact that you have gathered here so suddenly tonight is actually to say two things. Between the words, Lei Che's gaze once again shifted from the war sand table to the generals present, "The matter about Lei Yi has already been said before, so I won't mention it today, and now I will focus on the overall situation." ”

The generals looked at each other, and in confusion, they all set their eyes on Lei Che at this moment. But I heard a general with an eye patch in his left eye take the lead in breaking the silence that should not exist: "If there is any use for the old minister, the lord of the country can just say it." ”

Lei Che looked at the one-eyed general in front of him with a smile.

His name is Wei Chi Polu.

In the battle of Jingwei Pass, if it weren't for Wei Chi Po's sacrifice of his life to block the cloud-piercing arrow shot by Mo Guoxuan Mo Wufeng for Lei Che, Lei Che would have died under Jingwei Pass at that time.

In fact, Xuan Mo Wufeng's cloud-piercing arrow did not shoot Lieutenant Chi Poyu's eyes, but directly pierced his left shoulder. The extremely strong wind accompanied by the cloud-piercing arrow made Wei Chi Poyu's entire left shoulder bone almost shattered.

Later, although his left shoulder was healed by the mystics of the Celestial Warrior Kingdom, his left eye was permanently blinded. It can be said that Wei Chi Poyu used one of his eyes to exchange for Lei Che's life.

"It's not a big deal. Lei Che paused and continued, "Now that Yi'er has been captured, I believe that the Dongji Nations will soon know that the widow has entered the country. At present, the supplies are still abundant, and the widow wants to stay here for a few days to see what happens to the Dongji Congress in the future, and then make a decision. ”

"Then are we still aiming for Yaoguang City?" asked Wei Chi Poyu, and Lei Che didn't answer his question right away, but waited for a moment. During this period, Lei Che's gaze wandered over the other generals who did not speak, "Basically, it will not change, after all, Yaoguang City is close to Jingwei Pass, and its strategic significance cannot be ignored." What do other people think about this?"

"The minister seconded the proposal!" the four generals present looked at each other and said in unison. Wei Chi Poyu did not speak, and the remaining three generals also fell into hesitation. At this time, Lei Che looked at the remaining three generals curiously: "What, how many of you have something to say?"

Among the three generals who hesitated, one of the generals with a long scar on his left cheek asked, "With our current strength, we can completely divide our troops into two routes, all the way to Yaoguang City, and all the way to Liuyun City. At present, Dianxing City is still in the midst of a fire, and the entire Jibei is sealed by wind and snow. Even if the Mexican country wants to send troops to support, and the Dongji countries want to intervene, there is no way. ”

Lei Che didn't speak, he glanced at the general who spoke, it was Wei Chi Poyu's younger brother, Wei Chi Dingbang. At this time, another young general standing beside Wei Chi Dingbang said solemnly: "The minister thinks that what General Wei Chi Dingbang said is reasonable, and the top priority is to quickly take the two cities of Yaoguang and Liuyun, so that we can have a heavier voice to negotiate with the state and force them to return the son." ”

Lei Che raised his eyes and glanced at it, and it was Zhan Teng, the second son of the Qianlei Guozhan clan who grew up with Lei Yi since he was a child, and he was also the first general to ask for help after learning that Lei Yi was in danger that night. Between the words, the silent general didn't say anything, just said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

As a result, the discussion entered a divergent phase.

Lei Che's gaze fell on the last general to speak. This person's name is Chu Liang, and he was born as a scout. It stands to reason that he should give Lei Che a lot of advice at tonight's meeting, but unfortunately, the current situation has made Lei Che a little disappointed.

It stands to reason that the last speaker should be well thought out. Right now, Lei Che was a little dissatisfied with Chu Liang's reaction: "Chu Liang, you have been silent for a long time, just waiting to shout this sentence after you?"

After hearing Lei Che's angry tone, the witty Chu Liang not only did not feel panicked, but responded to Lei Che without humility or arrogance: "Actually, rescuing the prince is not a top priority. Before the lord stepped into the military tent, he had already made a decision in his heart, and no matter how much we said, it didn't make much sense. ”

Chu Liang's words made Lei Che, who was already a little displeased, on the verge of anger. In fact, what Chu Liang said was not wrong, and it was precisely because of this that Lei Che convened this temporary meeting. Lei Che wanted to see if anyone could convince him to change his decision, and if there were any shortcomings in his next strategy.

After all, the capture of the eldest son, Lei Yi, made Lei Che soberly realize that those Black Heaven Sectists who had incarnated as secret magicians of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom were not worthy of his trust. Therefore, in tonight's meeting, Lei Che did not call for the participation of people from the Tianwu Kingdom.

At this time, among the four generals who supported Lei Che's decision at the beginning, a young general stood up to refute Wei Chi Dingbang's idea of dividing the troops into two ways. Lei Che glanced at the young general who spoke, it turned out to be Nangong Jinyan of the Nangong family of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom.

"General Dingbang also mentioned just now, now that the snow in the north of Jibei is sealed, and the fire of the burning city of Dianxing City has not been extinguished, the support of the Mexican country is weak, and the countries of Dongji want to intervene in the problem, with our current strength, we can indeed divide the troops into two ways, but," between the words, Nangong paused cautiously, as if he was checking everyone's attitude, "I don't know if General Dingbang knows that not long ago, the prince of the Shuguo Kingdom, Jun Yunfan, led a wave of men and horses to slaughter the city of Dianxingcheng." ”

Yu Chi Dingbang and Yu Chi Poyu glanced at each other, and then turned to Nangong and said, "If I remember correctly, this Yun Fan slaughtered the city first, and then lit the fire?"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Liang, who was listening, coughed and said: "What happened at that time was like this, Yun Fan used a night plan to attack Dian Xing City, and finally succeeded in capturing the generals and people of Dian Xing City at that time. Then Yun Fan did one thing, slaughtering the city. ”

Wei Chi Dingbang looked at Chu Liang beside him suspiciously: "These things should have happened before we entered the country, right? How did you know so much about it?"

"These important fighters, I won't ask the spies who were stuffed into the Dongji countries a few years ago? You just know that Dianxing City is on fire, what happened before it caught fire?" Chu Liang sighed, and then took Wei Chi Dingbang's words and Nangong Jinyan continued, "General Nangong actually wants to say that now the entire Mo Kingdom knows about Yunfan's slaughter of the city, right?"

Nangong smiled cautiously: "Exactly." ”

Chu Liang frowned: "And then?"

"Now the country of Mo is both angry and afraid of Yun Fan's slaughter of the city. Nangong said carefully, paused, and continued, "General Chu is a smart person, he should be able to think of what I am going to say next. ”

Everyone's eyes converged on Chu Liang at this moment. But seeing Chu Liang hesitate for a moment, he then turned to say: "If there is no problem with the information provided by our secret agents, Liuyun City is not an urn city, and our war bear will be broken with a casual collision." ”

Nangong said: "After the capture, will this city be defended?"

Chu Liang didn't answer, and Wei Chi Dingbang preemptively said: "Of course you have to guard, this is not nonsense!"

Nangong said carefully: "Then hit Yaoguang City or Liuyun City first?"

Chu Liang: "Of course it's Yaoguang City!"

Wei Chi was puzzled: "Why can't you do both?"

Between the words, Chu Liang gave Wei Chi Poyu a look and motioned him to shut up. As a result, Po Yu didn't comprehend, Nangong smiled cautiously, and his eyes turned to Lei Che, who was listening carefully to their argument at the moment.

Lei Che didn't speak, motioning for them to continue.

In fact, among the generals present, except for Wei Chi Polu and Wei Chi Dingbang, everyone else knew why. As the so-called generals are outside, the king's order is not subject to it. Lei Che trusts everyone on the surface, but in fact, he always guards against it. Everyone understands this, and the two brothers of the Wei Chi family stupidly thought that Lei Che would be in the relationship between kings and ministers for many years, and they made an exception.

Nangong Jinyan ignored Wei Chi Po's question, but continued Chu Liang's words: "So why do you have to divide the troops into two ways?"

At this time, Nangong Jinyan put aside the Wei Chi brothers again, and as a result, Zhan Teng, who supported the Wei Chi brothers, knew that these brothers were the stupidest, so he hurriedly replied for them: "Is General Nangong playing sophistry?"

Nangong was puzzled: "What did General Zhan say?"

Zhan Teng: "Just now, General Nangong asked, whether to attack Liuyun City or Yaoguang City first, and General Chu's previous question, General Nangong did not answer, the debater's words are not the same as strategic opportunities. ”

Chu Liang, who was originally surrounded by Nangong Jinyan, continued: "Exactly, what I just asked is that Liuyun City was obviously broken as soon as it was attacked, why did General Nangong insist on why he had to divide his troops into two ways?"

Zhan Teng continued: "Yes, it is precisely because Liuyun City will be broken as soon as it is attacked, so I and the others will divide the troops into two ways, intending to seize the opportunity. ”

Lei Che on the side smiled slightly when he heard this. His eyes fell on the sand table of the war, and among the generals who had originally supported Lei Che's main attack on Yaoguang City from the beginning, one of them was keeping an eye on Lei Che's every move at this time, not knowing what to do.

But seeing Nangong Jinyan smiled indifferently: "At present, it seems that the most important thing for us to be afraid of when we take Jibei is the Shu Kingdom, followed by the Xia Kingdom. Xia Guo has not made any moves at present, just talking about the country. The two cities we are about to capture are actually the territory of the original Shu Kingdom, and Liuyun City is indeed easy to fight, but in view of Yun Fan's current deterrence of the people of the Mexican Kingdom, once the Shu Guo soldiers send out the light or Liuyun, they will inevitably encounter stubborn resistance, which is an opportunity for us. ”

Between the words, Chu Liang seemed to understand the meaning of Nangong Jinyan's words: "So, you mean to quickly take Yaoguang City, and then persuade Liuyun City to surrender?!"

When Zhan Teng and Wei Chi brothers heard this, they were shocked, and they all thought that Chu Liang was joking or that he had misinterpreted the meaning of Nangong Jinyan, until Nangong said carefully: "If you can take a city without blood, why do you have to face each other with swords?

Between the words, the four generals who advocated dividing their troops to take Yaoguang and Liuyun City turned their eyes to Lei Che, who was looking at the war sand table without speaking. At this time, he saw Lei Che slowly raise his eyes and look at Chu Liang, who had just made him a little displeased: "What do you think the remaining people of the Mo Kingdom will think after the widow takes Yaoguang City?"

Chu Liang pondered: "The army will definitely be in turmoil!"

"The lone army went deep and lived in Jibei for a long time. Asking for help without help, homesick. There is no chance of victory, so why bother fighting?" Lei Che smiled and continued, "When the time comes, the widows only need to surround Liuyun City, and they will only have to wait for death. ”

At this time, Nangong added solemnly: "But if the lord of the country is willing to let them live, then these Mexican people will definitely be grateful and open the city gate to greet them!"

"If Yun Fan goes to Liuyun City in front of us, he will only encounter desperate resistance, and there has been no movement on the Xia Kingdom's side until now, and it is estimated that there will be no movement, at least until we take Liuyun and Yaoguang City. "Among the four generals who previously supported Lei Che to take Yaoguang City, another supported Lei Chedao.

Lei Che raised his eyes and looked, and it was Ji Bo, the general of the broken camp, who spoke. Then, Qi Sijun, who was standing beside Ji Bo, asked Chu Liang and the others rhetorically: "So, do the four generals still plan to take Yaoguang and Liuyun City in two ways?"

At the moment, there was only one general left who only seconded the proposal from beginning to end, without expressing his opinion, and kept an eye on Lei Che's every move, not knowing what to do. After thinking about it for a while, Chu Liang, Brother Wei Chi and Zhan Teng hurriedly waved their hands: "The lord of the country is wise!"

Lei Che waved his sleeves, signaled everyone to be exempt, and then said lightly: "Previously, if it wasn't for General Wei Chi Po's sacrifice of his life, the Xuanmo Wufeng of the Mo Kingdom would probably take the life of a widow with one arrow." Therefore, this time I went to conquer the Mexican country, and the widow had to end this hatred for the broken general. ”

Wei Chi Poyu listened to it and was grateful.

Lei Che: "Actually, I'm right. After taking Yaoguang City, as long as they show the way to the Mo people stationed in Liuyun City, they naturally know what to do. The widow does not believe that among these people who do not pay attention to faith and righteousness, there will be so many loyal and honest people. When the time comes, they will sacrifice the city, and the widow will surely avenge the capture of the general!"

Wei Chi Poyu: "Thank you Lord of the Kingdom!"

"Okay, if you have no objections to the matter of Yaoguang and Liuyun City, then let's move on to the second thing. As he spoke, Lei Che's gaze fell on the general who had not spoken, and the general was also looking at him at this time.
