Chapter 3: The unpredictable battlefield

The saint has clouds, and the way of heaven is constant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The direct manifestations are: the change of day and night day after day, the change of the four seasons year after year, and the phenomenon of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements.

But the way of heaven is also complicated, and the staggered superposition of countless chains of order gods causes people to see a strange and unpredictable world.

In this regard, the sage directly used the combination of yin and yang to derive the eight trigrams, sixty-four trigrams and even the ever-changing as an example, pointing out that no matter what strange phenomena we see, as long as we trace the source, we will find that the occurrence of all situations follows certain laws.

The sages also warned: The way of heaven is constant, and the world is still so changeable, if the way of heaven is not in order, then heaven and earth will be in chaos.

As the saying goes, the way of heaven is brilliant, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. It is against the heavens, and you must not do more.

For example, this year's spring breeze in December in Gangnam Province is actually just a big move made by someone to pick up girls. Just like the faint monarch who played the princes for the sake of the fraternity concubine 10,000 years ago, he will only suffer the curse of heaven for acting against the sky in the end.

However, those wandering merchants and wanderers are grateful to this person. Although the spring breeze did not blow all over Kyushu, for some reason, the snow that had been falling for nearly a month finally stopped. This is undoubtedly good news for those of them who have been living away for many years. After all, at the end of the year, everyone hopes to return home before Chinese New Year's Eve and have a reunion dinner with their families.

As the travelers embark on their return journey, a string song has quietly become popular in the north and south of the river. At the same time, there is also a bombshell news that has spread widely. It has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner.

"It is said that the eldest grandson of King Yan, who has been drinking all the time in Jiangnan Province, has finally returned to China to inherit the title of his father Duke Wu Hui."

"It's a bit unexpected, but it's not surprising, isn't that something that's going to happen sooner or later?"

"Hehe, of course this is not a surprise. You don't know, in the palace of King Yan, the old King Yan ignored the opposition of the minister, and directly named him the hussar general who was only in the general Ji Han, and led 30,000 Yan Ding Iron Cavalry, known as the first elite of the Yan Kingdom, to garrison the Taiyuan Military Mansion. Grant the right to act cheaply, and make it wait for an opportunity to reclaim the land that has been usurped by the demons. ”

"What? Outrageous! Is this old Yan Wang old and confused? ”……

As the news spread, the reaction of the common people was still the same, not to mention the princes and nobles of the Kyushu countries.

They issued articles condemning the decision of the old Yan King, bluntly saying that even if the Yan Ding Iron Cavalry should be in the hands of the royal family, it should not be allowed to let an uneducated and unskilled man be in charge of such an important army when the demon clan is planning to invade on a large scale!

They asked if there was no one in Yan Kingdom? Even questioned that among the 30,000 elites who had cultivated to the Yunyuan realm, would a hundred people listen to Ji Yu's dispatch? For the sake of the overall situation of the human race, they asked Yan Guo to give an explanation.

In this regard, King Yan's direct response was: "What qualifications do you have to point fingers at the widows? Take care of yourself before you talk about others. ”

"Explain? Because what I want to do in the Great Yan Kingdom is not just to resist the invasion, but to completely destroy the demon race. "It is said that this is the response of the man who is on the cusp," it is understandable that the allies of the Qin and Jin countries are dissatisfied. If you are worried about the safety of the Terrans, send your soldiers here. Shut up if you don't come! ”

Naturally, this caused an even more ugly scolding. But no matter what, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no possibility of change.

And in the midst of such noise, the year finally ushered in its last day - Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the night of this day, the snowflakes that had stopped for most of the month fell one after another with the sudden blowing of the north wind.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, so that people do not have the interest of going out to visit relatives and friends after the reunion dinner, but hide in the house to keep warm, and some take a nap, brag, play cards, chess, or continue to drink. Anyway, everyone thinks that this is the same Chinese New Year's Eve as in previous years, and under the strengthened protection of the army, nothing else should happen.

In fact, no one would have thought that in the night, it was not only the heavy snow that invaded the northern three countries with the north wind, but also the hideous and terrifying wolf riders of the same color as the night.

December 30, 209 of the Lingyuan Dynasty, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The wolf riding tribe of the Western Regions of the Demon Clan, led by the commander of ten thousand to cross the frozen three-foot Jiuqu River, bypassed the elite Zuoshun Military Mansion in Yongzhou, Qinxi, and rushed thousands of miles from northwest to southeast, burning and looting all the way in the Eastern Yongzhou of the Jin Kingdom, and suddenly turned to the northeast and retreated after approaching the city of Daxiafu. The elite of the 100,000 Zuo Shun army that came to the aid of the Jin State rushed to the rescue, so they pounced.

In the eastern Yongzhou of the Jin Kingdom, which is known as the south of the Yangtze River, there were countless civilian casualties, and the five thousand horsemen of the Demon Clan actually left safely after wantonly acting in the territory of Jizhou, which had gathered 100,000 allied troops, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the people of Kyushu. This news will once again shock, anger, and hate the Kyushu Terrans in the New Year! Then shame, helplessness, and numbness.

The first day of the first month.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the mainland's most authoritative intelligence platform, Tianyahui, really released a piece of news that shocked the mainland:

10,000 Yan Dingtie rode on the north bank of the Jiuqu River to kill the captain of 10,000 people, and completely annihilated the 5,000 invading wolf riders of the Demon Clan!

The 10,000 Yan Ding army was not only unscathed, but also took advantage of the situation to go north, and the other 20,000 iron cavalry divided the east and west roads, raided the defenseless Datong Mansion demon defenders who were still waiting for the wolf rider to return and drink the celebration wine, killed 40,000 enemies, and finally recovered the Datong Military Mansion of Yan State, which had been lost for many years! What's even more shocking and unbelievable is that there are 30,000 iron horsemen who have no deaths! Tianya will praise this first army to achieve a complete victory over the demons since the Lingyuan era as an immortal heavenly soldier!

So people noticed that the commander of this heavenly army, Ji Yu, who was only twenty-one years old in the Tongtian Realm, was also the youngest Tongtian power in the Lingyuan Era! At the same time, his Tongtian-level wood-based life spirit power is the guarantee of the immortality of the immortal heavenly soldiers. In other words, without him, there would be no immortal soldiers.

At this time, people knew that the gentleman who had always liked to stay in Jiangnan Province to travel in the mountains and play in the water was actually a well-deserved genius!

It turned out that his sentence "What my Dayan Kingdom wants is not to resist the invasion, but to completely exterminate it" was not a false statement, but just a statement of facts.

He didn't let the Relic Demon Clan slap the faces of the people of Kyushu, he personally slapped the faces of those who could only spit. Unfortunately, he really didn't mean to.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, while everyone's discussion about Yan Guo's victory over the demon clan after visiting relatives and friends has not diminished, someone published an article on the demon clan at the Tianya meeting.

"The Demons are not invincible." The most powerful expounder of this sentence, Ji Yu, published an impassioned essay on this topic that made the reader's blood boil.

As soon as the article was issued, countless young people who were carried away by the blood rushed to the north.

In this regard, the magnates of the Central and South African countries did not dare to express anything. Although the loss of population is a big problem, people have sacrificed the righteousness of the human race. Forget it, they're all fools anyway......

Thus, in just a few months, the combined forces of the Northern Three Kingdoms expanded from 400,000 to 700,000. Because of this, the Northern Three Kingdoms have the strength to counterattack the demons.

Jiangnan Road, in the backyard of Baicao Garden in Suzhou and Hangzhou City, the three of them sat around the stone table, and Nangong Sanbian looked at the battle report released by the Tianya Society: "This recruitment advertisement must not have been written by Ji Yu." ”

"I'm busy, don't talk nonsense, okay?" The girl who had returned to her women's clothes was leisurely drinking tea.

"Don't you want where he's going after dinner that day? I bet a bottle of Tianxiang Life Renewal Pill, such a cheap wording is only written by him. ”

"Is that man's life or death my business?"

"Well, it's really not interesting. He is the only one who can make Ji Yu easily obtain so much information, and the one who can make Ji Yu rest assured that he can hand over 20,000 iron horses. ”

"Well, the bastard went. Sister Xian'er can at least rest assured. ”

"Hmm." Nangong Xian complained, "It's a pity that grandpa won't let me go to the north." ”

Nangong San glanced at his niece whitely: "No one will want you to go." ”

"So I have to write letters." Nangong String Road.

"Sending love letters, passing on the wild goose, it's really romantic." Nangong Sanbian first admired, and then said with a smile: "Lilingzi, you should learn from Xian'er." ”

Nangong Xian's face was slightly red.

Lilingzi was dismissive: "Shut up!" Otherwise, get out of here. ”

The lives of the rich families south of the Northern Three Kingdoms are probably as casual as Nangong Sanchang, and the poor are also busy maintaining their livelihoods, and they are still concerned about the problems of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Fortunately, with the expansion of the Triple Alliance to as many as 700,000, the people of the Northern Three Kingdoms finally have hope for a life of peace and contentment. Because the human race seems to have regained its confidence, it has won more and lost less on the frontal battlefield, and finally slowly forced the demons back to the north.

In short, in a rapidly changing battlefield, time can be said to fly by.

The time quickly came to the end of the eleventh. In the past two years, the Terran counterattack against the demons, the most dazzling of them are Ji Han and Ji Yu, the uncles and nephews of the Yan royal family. Not only did they recover the entire territory of Yan in just two years, but they also frequently sent troops to assist the marriage-related Jin and their ally Qin to achieve victory.

Judging from the map, as long as the Qin and Jin countries capture a few more important passes occupied by the Relic Demon Clan, the Northern Three Kingdoms are expected to recover all the lost lands, replicate the great feat accomplished when they first counterattacked the Demon Clan a thousand years ago, and are expected to attack the prairie.

This situation is definitely very exciting, and the people of the Northern Three Kingdoms and even the people of other countries are also looking forward to the day when the human race will destroy the demon clan.

However, some people familiar with history have pointed out that this may not be so easy, and do not forget how the human race was defeated at the last moment thousands of years ago. They suggested that the elites of the three northern countries should first hold talks to reach a new consensus and avoid repeating the mistakes of a millennium ago. Unfortunately, in good times, it is often difficult to take such cautious and rational voices seriously.

The first day of December.

Suddenly, a snowstorm fell in the northern three countries. This undoubtedly gives the demons with strong cold resistance a chance to repeat their old tricks.

This night, in the West Yongzhou Plain of Qin State, a fire dragon with no head and tail in sight was moving rapidly westward, and its neat sound of iron hooves shook the heavens and the earth, and it seemed that even the blizzard was much smaller. This fire dragon is the descendant army under the command of Wang Yu, the general of the Qin State, the 100,000 Zhenguo Yongchang Iron Cavalry.

Wang Yu did not ride on a chariot, but rode his black horse through the Chinese army.

Because just before this, Tu Blade, one of the three major demon generals, led 50,000 wolf horsemen to rush from Yumen Pass in the Western Regions to attack Baili, attacking the defenseless Zuoshun Military Mansion in the western border of Qin, causing tens of thousands of casualties to the soldiers and civilians of the Qin State who were caught off guard. The Zuoshun military government is currently in danger, and it is their march to support them.

Wang Yu's face was expressionless, and he was thinking about a question in his heart: What was the purpose of this surprise attack launched by the demon clan?

Although the strength of the Demon General Slaughter Blade is unfathomable, with 50,000 demon soldiers, he wants to eat the Zuoshun Military Mansion, the first military town in the western border of Great Qin? I believe that as one of the three major demon generals, Slaughter Blade will not be so naïve. So the rest of the possibility is that they are ready for other offensives.

"Report to the General! There's a letter from the nocturnal spirit falcon of the Right Heavenly Army's mansion! A messenger soldier came to Wang Yu and respectfully presented him with the unopened secret letter.

Wang Yu opened the letter and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, as expected...... He made a decision immediately and ordered the deputy commander Bai Luo to lead 40,000 iron cavalry to aid the Right Heaven Military Mansion. At the same time, he sent a letter asking Zhao Qi, the general of the nearby Jin Kingdom, to rush to the Right Heaven Military Mansion as soon as possible, and seize this golden opportunity to kill the demon guards who dared to go out.

Of course, judging by his battlefield experience, it is not easy to kill Black Trace. Such an arrangement is only a dignified way to deal with it, at least to ensure that the side does not suffer losses, and its tactical objectives can be seen from the actions of the other side.

It is a pity that the situation on the battlefield has always changed rapidly, and human calculation is always inferior to heavenly calculation.

What Wang Yu never expected was that his letter was not handed over to Zhao Qi first, but was first seen by Qin Yang, the prime minister of the Jin State who came to Daxia City.

As a result, the Jin army, which was supposed to encircle and annihilate the Black Trace Army, went directly to attack the First Xiongguan of Helan Mountain to seal the Demon Pass.

There are three reasons given by the eloquent Prime Minister: First, when the Jin army attacked the Sealing Demon Pass, if the Black Trace Department returned to help, the crisis of the Right Heavenly Military Mansion would be naturally resolved. Second, wouldn't I have a better chance of winning if I treat the tired and tired army of black traces as a comfortable teacher? Third, if the black trace insists on attacking the Right Heaven Military Mansion, then our army will defeat his sealing demon pass. What if you can win the Demon Sealing Pass with immeasurable strategic value and sacrifice a small military mansion......

General Zhao Qi didn't understand how a character who could use his power and strategy to be so naïve about things on the battlefield.

Of course, he wisely followed the Prime Minister's orders. Because if there is a big trouble, the prime minister will not dare to continue to command blindly in the army in the future.

…………

At the time of the night solstice, when Wang Yu arrived at the Zuoshun Military Mansion, he was surprised to find that Tu Dao's troops had retreated. He couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, and immediately summoned the guards to ask, "When did the demons retreat?" ”

The guard who was born in the Qin State said with a bewildered expression: "After they caused a large number of casualties to our army in a round of raids, they did not attack again, but killed all the scouts of our army in the field. Therefore, the subordinates do not know ......"

Wang Yu immediately glared and scolded: "Confused! Fight a fart! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really blind to let you garrison the Zuoshun Military Mansion! Such a major military situation was not reported? ”

Immediately, he ordered the troops who had not rested to immediately set off again and rush to the Right Heaven Military Mansion......

However, it was already too late.

In the eleventh year of the twentieth era of the Lingyuan Dynasty, on the second day of the twelfth month, the northern war report released by the Tianya Society once again successfully stirred up the tide of public opinion:

"On the first day of December, the demon general Tu Blade led the wolf rider from Yumen Pass and rushed for hundreds of miles to attack the Zuoshun Military Mansion of Qin State, causing a large number of casualties in its camping outside the city, forcing its guards to retreat in the palace and not dare to fight. The wolf rider then quietly marched east after clearing the Qin scouts.

At the time of the Emperor's reign, Tu Dao and Heiji successfully joined forces with the Right Heaven Military Mansion and forcibly captured the frontier military town closest to the Sealed Demon Pass in the Qin State. Wang Yu, the general of the Qin State who did not anticipate the enemy's opportunity, did not even see the butt of the wolf rider after traveling for hundreds of miles, and almost caused the 40,000 iron cavalry that divided the troops to be wiped out. Afterwards, Wang Yu was reduced to two ranks and fined for three years.

At the same time, the 200,000 Jin troops who received the Qin army's request for support did not go to support the Right Heaven Military Mansion, but chose to directly attack the Sealing Demon Pass. intends to take advantage of the absence of the first guard of the demon clan to take down the Demon Sealing Pass. Unexpectedly, Ye Yu, the demon general who was rumored to be at the end of his life, suddenly appeared in the city and withstood the fierce attack of the Jin army.

Immediately, the slaughtering blade and black trace of the Youshun Military Mansion had already been taken to help seal the Demon Pass, and in an instant, the Jin army that was attacking like a tide fell into a dangerous situation of being flanked on the back of the abdomen. Only Zhao Qi was a powerful Jin army that retreated decisively, and after paying the lives of 80,000 soldiers and the Heishui Military Mansion, the frontier military station, the remaining Jin army successfully withdrew to Daxia City.

After two years of passive beating, the demons once again showed their sharp claws, and fiercely bit the Terran coalition army, and in just one night, the Northern Three Kingdoms buried the two important military towns that had taken a year of hard work......

But what is even more worrying is that the relationship between the Qin and Jin countries, which are not very friendly, seems to be moving in a worse direction......"
