The members of the Zhou royal family began to adopt the measure of rotational retreat, and some stopped cultivating and went to war. Only stay in the part of the people who have great hopes of advancing to the rank in the short term, and hurry up to cultivate.

The war machine of the Zhou State, all the links began to operate, because the time agreed with the Chen State was almost up, and because of the battle between Tianfeng and Yuanwu, it actually hit the territory of the Zhou State, and it was no longer just a straggler.

The king of Zhou was still in retreat, and Zhou Cang was temporarily in charge of the country and ruled everything. Warm Assist.

Ling Shanhe and Long Yunyi were in charge of logistics and dispatched grain and grass equipment for the various armies.

Huangfu Ying and Sun Shuyang were in charge of military operations and arranged troops.

According to the agreed plan, the Eastern Army and the Zhendong Army will unite with Chen Guo and attack Tianfeng. Huangfu Ying transferred the western army of Zhenzhen to return to the Qi realm, making a reserve in advance and beware of Chen Guo's fraud.

He ordered the southern army and the Zhennan army to expel and invade the Zhou realm (the area of Bajun Mountain, where the Bajun Society was located in the southwest of Qidi), and strictly guard against the movement of Yuanwu and prepare for the next military action.

Chen Kun's plan did not end here, but hoped to destroy Tianfeng first, and then Chen and Zhou would take advantage of Yuanwu's unpreparedness to destroy him.

Zhou Cangyi strongly agreed with these secret discussions.

What Zhou Cang thinks, it does not affect the caution of the old foxes such as Huangfu Ying and Ling Shanhe, and there are not a lot of precautions at all. In addition to the south, the western army also strictly defended and paid attention to every move of the Wuyuan Empire. Because Yuanwu does not belong to Lifeng, but a subordinate country of Wuyuan.

The Zhenbei Army and the Zhengbei Army were also reminded to be vigilant. To the north is the territory directly under Lifeng, and there is no external enemy, but the Zhou royal family has always been worried about whether Lifeng will withdraw the domain or directly destroy the domain. This is the reason why Huangfu Ying is reluctant to talk to Guo Libin in detail, she is worried that she will fall into it and be in a dilemma between the dynasty and the royal court.

Xia Guanfu, a heavily guarded secret room, Huang Fuying and Sun Shuyang personally gave face-to-face lectures to the senior generals of the Zhenxi Army. There are not only the newly promoted Gao Yuanfeng, Huangfu Ji, Lu Tai, and the veteran Niu Di of Zhenxi, but also Zhou Feiyan, who has just come out of the customs.

Sun Shuyang said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, this is the Xia Guanfu's plan of action for your army, please take a look." After all, Zhou Feiyan is a direct member of the royal family, the nominal master, Sun Shuyang does not dare to be disrespectful.

Zhou Feiyan took the plan, read it carefully, didn't speak, and then handed it to Gao Yuanfeng.

Gao Yuanfeng glanced at her reproachfully, got up and handed the plan to Niu Di, "General Niu, you look at it first." ”

Niu Di hurriedly excused himself, "This won't work." General Gao is the deputy general of the county lord, so naturally you will see it first. ”

Gao Yuanfeng insisted: "You know me, I don't dare to say that I don't know anything about the military, but my experience is far less than yours. My lieutenant general, that is, the king's love, is just a name. Hehe, you really want me to call the shots, and I won't mess up. ”

Zhou Feiyan also reacted and said loudly: "General Niu, I didn't think it through for a while, you can watch it first." ”

The county lord spoke, and Niu Di stepped down. From the subtle expression on his face, it could be seen that he was in a happier mood. When the army was expanded, Gao Yuanfeng said that he would not mix and operate, which did not show how much Gao Yuanfeng really respected him, just because there was Huangfu Ying, Huangfu succeeded him, and Gao Yuanfeng was not worried about losing power. Now on this occasion, Gao Yuanfeng gave in front of Huangfu Ying and Sun Shuyang, and the meaning was very different.

Huangfu Ying nodded slightly, expressing approval.

Sun Shuyang's eyes condensed into a line, and his heart was high and far-reaching, but the wind would buy people's hearts.

Lu Tai was a little puzzled, could it be that Gao Yuanfeng was really different from other noble children? He turned his head and glanced at Sun Shuyang, seeking an answer. Sun Shuyang made a very hidden look. Lu Tai understands, this is to let him guard against a little high wind.

Gao Yuanfeng's skills at this time far surpassed Sun Shuyang and Lu Tai, and he knew their small movements well. Smiled faintly, and didn't care. He didn't want to fight for anything, and his heart was only in his own brigade.

After reading it, Lu Tai thought for a while, and then handed it to Gao Yuanfeng, "General Gao, you can talk about it after you finish reading." ”

In fact, Gao Yuanfeng is really too lazy to watch, he has his own news channels, and he also has his own judgment, how to act, he will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, how can he plan it one by one in advance. can be used as the No. 2 person in the Zhenxi Army, and it is not good not to look at it.

Gao Yuanfeng quickly swept it over and handed it to Lu Tai instead of Huangfu Ji.

Lu Tai hesitated a little, but still took it. He and Huangfu are at the same level, and they are both positive five lives. This first looks at it and then looks at it, and basically determines the ranking in the army in the future.

After everyone finished reading it, Huang Fu said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

At this time, it should be reversed, and the bottom of the ranking will be said first, and Zhou Feiyan finally concluded, whether he completely agrees with it, or has some different meanings.

Huangfu Ji only said briefly, "I have no opinion." "The plan formulated by his grandmother, he will not mention it even if he has an opinion, not to mention that his military knowledge is all taught by Huangfu Ying, and it is true that he can't put forward new insights.

Ruthai, too, fully agrees.

Niu Di didn't wait for Gao Yuanfeng to speak, and preemptively expressed his approval. If he had to wait for Gao Yuanfeng to speak before speaking, he would be a little ignorant. Gao Yuanfeng respects his qualifications, he can't admit that his status is above Gao Yuanfeng.

Gao Yuanfeng surprised everyone, frowning and silent.

Zhou Feiyan pushed him, "Yuanfeng, this is a military discussion, you must express your opinion." ”

Gao Yuanfeng arched his hand to Emperor Fu Ying and Sun Shuyang, "The last general feels that there is something that needs to be considered." ”

According to the plan, due to the southern expedition of the Zhendong Army and the Zhengdong Army, the brigade will not be able to continue to serve as the county guard, and Zhou Feiyan will take over from Tang Cizhong as the Luodu county guard. Wen Chao moved one step south and took over from Zhou Hui as the county guard of Pyeongchang County. Lu Tai served as the county guard of Yanhu County. Huangfu succeeded him as the county guard of Hexi. Gao Yuanfeng served as the county guard of Bohai. Niu Di served as the county guard of Luobei.

The removal of the local official positions concurrently held by the generals of the Zhendong and Zhengdong armies was to reassure Chen Guo's heart and make Chen Guo believe that Zhou Guo was very firm in the matter of the coalition army and devoted himself to it.

Sun Shuyang's face turned cold, "Oh, General Gao has other opinions, let's listen to it." He thought that Gao Yuanfeng was against the distribution of the county guards. Yanhu County is the second largest county in Qi after Luodu. If it is distributed according to the status of the Zhenxi Army, it should be Gao Yuanfeng who should be the guard of Yanhu County.

However, Sun Shuyang, with the support of Ling Shanhe, insisted that Lu Tai serve as the county guard of Yanhu. Because Yanhu County was directly behind the Zhou army's southern expedition to Tianfeng, a supply route, Ling Shanhe was worried that Gao Yuanfeng would create logistical obstacles for the Eastern Army. Wen Chao's southward move is also for this reason. Wen Chao is heavy-handed, and the Wen family does not need to stand in line between Zhou Cang and Zhou Feiyan. With Wen Chao and Lu Tai guarding the grain route of the Southern Expedition, Ling Shanhe was truly at ease.

Gao Yuanfeng said calmly: "The reorganization of the Zhenxi Army is vigorous, and it is impossible for Chen Guo not to know about it. Then the town west will be. Led the army to the east on a large scale, what does Chen Guoguo think?"

Because of the amount of information, Huangfu's family, Lu Tai, Niu Di, including Zhou Feiyan, didn't know why Gao Yuanfeng cared about Chen Guo's thoughts. However, Huangfu Ying and Sun Shuyang understood that they were both in the Xuanzheng Hall that day.

Seeing that Gao Yuanfeng was not fighting for power, Sun Shuyang's face was good, and he turned his head to look at Huang Fuying, which meant that he said to Gao Yuanfeng, can he say it on this occasion, and Huang Fuying is in charge.

Huang Fuying thought for a while and replied vaguely: "Our move is precisely to deter Chen Guo. ”

"Oh. Gao Yuanfeng neither agreed nor opposed.

He understood what Huangfu Ying meant, that is, Zhou Guo was actually unwilling to turn his face with Chen Guo. Zhou Guo's strength, compared to Chen Guo, does not have an overwhelming advantage, if Chen Guo and Tianfeng work together to dig a pit for Zhou Guo, Zhou Guo may not be sure to win.

At the same time, the true intentions of the Zhou State leadership to Chen Guo are not completely certain. It may be true that Chen Guo rebelled against Lifeng and defected to the Danxia Gang, but he did not necessarily have the courage to annex Zhou. After careful consideration, King Zhou, Wen Ze, Huangfu Ying, Ling Shanhe and others decided to agree to the alliance with Chen Guo on the one hand, and to strengthen their momentum to deter them, so as to achieve the goal of making Chen Guo make a wise choice, and solemnly consider whether it was cost-effective to unite with Tianfeng to destroy Zhou, or to unite with Zhou to destroy Tianfeng.

Gao Yuanfeng did not approve of Zhou Guo's decision, because he had his own (Niyun Tower) news channel, and he learned that the disciples of the Danxia Gang were also haunted in Tianfeng, so he knew that this kind of deterrence actually had no effect. However, although he no longer uses Zhou Feiyan and Huangfu to restore the country, it does not mean that he must return to the Zhou State.

It can be seen from his lectures to the soldiers that not only himself, but also his subordinates do not approve of his soldiers working hard for the interests of the powerful. Other armies of this era may not know what they are fighting for, and they only know how to obey orders, but Gao Yuanfeng's brigade has a clear goal, that is, to fight for protection. The connotation and extension of this guardianship are not in the interests of the powerful.

Therefore, Gao Yuanfeng didn't care much about Zhou Guo's victory or defeat. Reminder, that's interesting enough.

Huangfu Ying and Gao Yuanfeng only said half of it, making Zhou Feiyan and the others cloudy and foggy, inexplicable.

Huang Fuying's refusal to speak too clearly was for the sake of secrecy, so as not to cause a sense of panic or overreaction within the army, which would backfire the shock. That is, Gao Yuanfeng was present on that day, otherwise Gao Yuanfeng would not be qualified to hear it.

Sun Shuyang was satisfied with this situation at this time, and if he asked him to explain, it could only end there. But sometime in the future, today's dialogue between Huang Fuying and Gao Yuanfeng has become evidence of Sun Shuyang's attack on Huang Fuying.

Since everyone has no opinion, let's do it according to the plan. Huangfu Ying said: "The other armies are stationed, and the Xia Guanfu can only pass on military orders through fast horses or flying eagles. The generals who were replenished to the various armies were also brought back to their respective armies by the adjutant generals of each army. Therefore, this major war related to the rise and fall of the country, the starting mark is that your Zhenxi Army has embarked on a journey. Early tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison Kingdom will personally be in the school field in the western suburbs to perform for you. ”

It was almost noon, and the time was very tight, Gao Yuanfeng and Huangfu Ji had to rush back to the Nanhe Courtyard and pull the team to the western suburbs. Zhou Feiyan's direct brigade and Lu Tai's and Niu Di's brigades were already in the camp in the western suburbs, but there was still a lot of preparatory work.

The five of them broke up directly in front of the Xia Guanfu, three went to the camp in the western suburbs, and one went to the Nanhe Courtyard. To everyone's surprise, Gao Yuanfeng was not in a hurry, saying that he still had some personal matters to deal with in Changshan, and he would not go with Huangfuji.

Niu Di and the others didn't care what Gao Yuanfeng wanted to do, and they weren't worried that he would dare to disobey the military order and delay the expedition, but Zhou Feiyan had a little pimple in his psychology, what private matter can't he tell me?

Because of the tight time, Gao Yuanfeng didn't have time to worry about Zhou Feiyan's feelings, so he waved his hand and left.

In the evening, I heard that where Gao Yuanfeng went in the afternoon, Lele scolded him, and Zhou Feiyan was sad.

The next day, Gao Yuanfeng and his brigade did not appear in the western suburbs of the school, which was not only Zhou Feiyan unhappy, but also the prince Zhou Cang, who rushed to the school field first, also had a gloomy face.

Fortunately, Huangfu Ying, who arrived later, handed Zhou Cang a secret letter, and Zhou Cang's face softened a little.

When the time comes, the military flag hunts, and the war drums rumble. After sacrificing to the sky, sacrificing flags, burning incense, worshipping, vows, and a complete set of expedition procedures, Zhou Cang delivered an enthusiastic speech, encouraging the whole army to fight bravely to kill the enemy and build a hard-won feat. In the end, Zhou Cang drew his sword and pointed to the east in high spirits, "Go on the expedition!" At this moment, he began to taste the pleasure of being a king.

The Zhenxi army rumbled out. But Zhou Feiyan and the generals couldn't get excited, and they always thought about where Gao Yuanfeng went.
