When he went to the Golden State, Zhirong left Shen Yuanshan, who had been experienced and had been dealing with the king of the Northern Regions for many years, to lead the army, and together with Jin Zixuan's people, he was responsible for the security of the city and the enemy. And explain that if there is an envoy from the Northern Regions Palace, he will delay as much as possible, and do not fight lightly.

The Golden State is not located due east but in the southeast of the north, so it is one of the states with a relatively good environment in the north. It is also the largest state capital in the North, an area the size of two smaller state capitals.

This is also the place where cool officials are most popular, and a small number of people flee to the Northland with gold every year, but the connection between the state capitals is very close, and very few survive if they escape.

However, since Jin Zixuan slowly infiltrated the north, the northland has become his territory, and all fugitives who want to survive in the state capitals have fled to the northland to join the king of the north. Therefore, although the northern border is now divided into various state capitals and general state capitals on the surface, there are only three that are really under the control of the imperial court.

The Golden State is one of the toughest bones to gnaw on, and the state capital Cao Zhen is a notoriously spicy state capital in the north, even more powerful than the previous general state capital. Moreover, this person colluded with the king of the Northern Regions, I don't know how much gold he has been greedy for over the years, and how many innocent people he has killed, the key is that he has his own army in his hands, which is capital.

According to Jin Zixuan, after all, this place in the north is far away from the emperor and has been closed for many years, although it still transports products for the imperial court, but it has formed its own set of rules, and the rules of each state capital are different, among which the Golden State is the most severe. To the east of the Golden State is the Dongyue Prairie, and Cao Zhen also colluded with some neighboring tribal leaders in the Prairie. It's like hegemon.

Such a place is not something that can be attacked casually, Jin Zixuan gave instructions before leaving. If he can't take the Golden State, he will hurry back to the Evil Spirit City and wait for him.

The two state capitals in the west are also very difficult to handle, and Jin Zixuan will have to fight several tough battles here. At the time, he said he could put aside his plans to the west for a while and help her fight the Golden State. However, Zhirong refused. It's not that he's afraid that the Shen family's treasures will be known to him, but he doesn't want to affect his overall plan.

He has already given too much for himself. Now that he can speak, his eyes and his right arm are gradually regaining consciousness, there is no longer any reason to drag him down, his soldiers need the king of the north, he is the support of those people and not just his own.

"Commander, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to sneak in this time, but even if we win a frontal attack, we will lose half of our soldiers." Jiang Cheng is now temporarily serving as the general of the Shen family's army, and his tolerance, strategy, and loyalty are what Zhirong appreciates, and at this time he is saying what Zhirong thinks in his heart.

Zhirong nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice: "Order to camp and rest in place." Tonight, we have come up with a solution. "After a day of walking, the soldiers were tired, it was already dark, and they would be frozen if they did not set up camp.

After settling all the soldiers and soldiers, Zhirong sat in the camp tent, and below sat Shen Heng, Shen Qing, Jiang Cheng, Sheng Hongyu, the Great Elder, Jin Shi, and two newly promoted generals of the Shen Family's army.

"We are bound to win the Golden State, but Cao Zhen has led troops to fight in the southeast of Jingtang in the past, and he has rich experience and is not easy to deal with. So I want to hear what the listeners think. Zhirong looked at the map, and then swept his gaze over everyone one by one.

Sheng Hongyu was the first to stand up and arch his hand: "Commander, my Shen family army is also famous. Although it is separated by an evil spirit city, there is no one in the north who does not know the fate of the Shen family's army, and Cao Zhen knows even more, and his subordinates think that they attacked the Golden State to capture Cao Zhen and cut off his head. It shows the prestige of my Shen family's army. ”

Zhirong sighed secretly in his heart, Sheng Hongyu had some small calculations, but she was not a general after all. There is no bearing either.

Jiang Cheng immediately objected: "No, my Shen Jiajun finally returned to his heart." Moreover, we have limited food and grass, and if we attack head-on, we cannot capture the state capital within a limited time. Then we will be in danger. Commander, I build a frontal feint attack, flanking on both sides. ”

"Does the general mean that the Shen family army does not have the strength to take the Golden State Capital head-on?" Sheng Hongyu snorted coldly: "You are too timid and afraid of things at night." ”

"I just don't want to take the Golden State and lose most of the Shen family's army, so what's the point of us taking the Golden State? As a general of the Shen family's army, he is responsible for the lives of 30,000 soldiers. Their families are still waiting in the City of Evil Spirits. Jiang Wei couldn't get used to Sheng Hongyu's consistent eldest lady posture, so he didn't let her at all this time.

Sheng Hongyu was about to speak, but Shen Heng took the lead, so she immediately stopped her mouth and sat down quietly.

"The subordinates think that the general's method is feasible, but the feint attack must also have a time limit, after all, we have few men, and if the flank attack does not last for a long time, we are still in a disadvantageous position. I think we need to send secret guards in to find out the news, and see the time before acting. ”

Zhirong nodded: "That is, the time and place are favorable, but we have never fought with Cao Zhen, we must not underestimate the enemy, let alone gamble with the lives of Brother Shen Jiajun." Shen Heng, the task of infiltrating the interior of the Golden State will be entrusted to you, and you must give me an accurate answer after a day of entry. If the city is complicated, we will give up the Golden State for the time being. ”

There were still too few men and horses, and Zhirong was not sure that he would be able to attack the city smoothly. Between treasure and human life, she chooses the latter. At this time, the outside suddenly remembered the wolf's roar, and the sound was extremely terrifying.

"Icewolf." Three words suddenly came out of Shen Qing's mouth, she stood up and lifted the curtain of the camp tent and stared out faintly, then turned to Zhirong with a weird smile and said, "Master, we don't necessarily need a feint strategy. I've heard that the beast with the most in the north is the Icewolf. I went out for a walk while we were eating, and I noticed wolfhounds coming from the Golden State Capital, and their prey was a few scrawny men. ”

Sheng Hongyu sneered: "So what, are you sympathizing with those people, or are you showing off that you ran fast without being discovered by the wolves?" ”

"No, I was discovered, the Icewolf's sense of smell is one of the best among all beasts, and I also have the smell of snowdrops, and they soon spotted me, but strangely they did not besiege me, but approached me and sat in a circle. It seems to have a sense of worship.,I used the art of beast control.,I didn't expect it to be even better than before.。 ”

There are many old and weak people exiled in this northern land, and Cao Zhen ran out to feed the wolves in order to prevent the infestation of the ice wolves. Other state capitals must have done the same.

And Shen Qing grew up in the beast group since he was a child. Learning the art of beast control is also very easy for her to deal with a group of ice wolves.

"You're showing off your beast mastery? We're talking now about how to breach the Golden State capital. Sheng Hongyu rolled her eyes nonchalantly, what she hated most was that this girl was still so heroic in neat men's clothes. There is no real material at all when talking and pretending.

"Shen Qing, you mean that we can form an army of ice wolves. To help attack the Golden State capital? Zhirong knew that Shen Qing would not say these words for no reason, she was not someone who liked to show off.

When the Great Elder heard this, he felt ridiculous and waved his hand repeatedly: "Commander, that wolf is a beast and not a human, how can he attack the Golden State, this is simply impossible." Besides, how many wolves can Deputy Commander Shen control alone? ”

Shen Qing smiled evilly: "I can control thousands or even tens of thousands of beasts alone, and the wolves also have leaders, as long as the leaders of each wolf pack are controlled, then all the wolves will obey my command." And it's not just the Icewolf, there are many beasts in the North. You can all call for help. However, I can't do it alone. ”

Sheng Hongyu pursed her lips and said angrily: "If you say it, you don't say it." ”

Zhirong looked at the map deeply and fell into deep thought, she looked up at Shen Qing's smiling face and immediately smiled: "You said that the beasts in the northern realm are very obsessed with the smell of snow lotus, and even worship it?" ”

"Yes. The subordinates only ate the snow lotus the size of half a baby's palm to attract them. Shen Qing tilted his head to look at Zhirong. As far as I know, the snow lotus that the master eats is enough to have the face of an adult man. The ice wolves outside here are not recruited by subordinates, but masters, and there seem to be more and more of them. ”

"Report!" A soldier hurriedly came in and bowed to Zhirong, "Tell the commander that there are many white wolves gathered outside, and there are more and more of them, do you want to shoot them?" ”

"How many?" Zhirong asked hurriedly.

"Probably thousands. Maybe more. And there seem to be other beasts. ”

"On my orders, as long as they don't attack, they are not to shoot any beast at will." Zhirong wore a big hat and took everyone out to check. Everyone froze in place.

There are so many beasts that it's always a bloody battle for them to shoot. Before attacking the Golden State, some of the soldiers became food for the beasts.

What everyone didn't expect was that as soon as Zhirong came out, all the beasts roared into the sky. As if to indicate some kind of emotion, the roar shook the sky, and several young soldiers who had not experienced war were so frightened that they even dropped their knives to the ground.

Zhirong slowly stepped forward. The beasts took a few steps back. She suppressed the panic in her heart and continued to move on, and the beasts continued to retreat. But all eyes were glued to her. These beasts had no intention of harming her.

Shen Qing pulled out his sword and pointed it to the sky, there were already some beasts crawling on the ground. A majestic silver ice wolf in the ice wolf pack roared into the sky, and those creeping beasts immediately got up and looked at Zhirong.

"Master, draw your sword and point it to the sky!" Shen Qing's voice came, and Zhirong immediately understood. These beasts only recognized the scent emanating from her body, not Shen Qing's.

She drew her silver, chilling sword and pointed it at the sky, her eyes glowing with commands to meet the Icewolf leader. The scene that happened after that shocked all the Shen Jiajun, and many years later, they all talked about it with remorse, and they will never forget it.

The silver ice wolf was the first to lie on the ground, lowering its head, and then all the beasts also lay down, the same posture, the same eyes. Shen Qing excitedly stepped forward and looked around: "Master, they are willing to surrender!" ”

Zhirong didn't understand the art of the beast, so it was Shen Qing who taught her to make gestures while teaching her, and finally dismissed these beasts, and the appearance of these northern beasts also added confidence to the Shen family's army to attack the Golden State.

"Jiang Cheng, you lead 10,000 Shen family troops to attack on the left, Hongyu leads 10,000 soldiers to attack from the left, and Shen Qing and I lead 10,000 soldiers plus the beast army to attack from the front. Tomorrow we will definitely take the Golden State. Shen Heng, you also need to sneak into the Golden State with a group of secret guards, in case Cao Zhengou jumps off the wall at that time. ”

"My subordinates understand!" After Shen Heng received the order, he immediately prepared and hurried to the Golden State overnight.

Late at night, Zhirong looked at the map, her eyes fixed on the Golden State, and then looked at the Dongyue Steppe behind the Golden State, which was an area comparable to several Golden State capitals.

It was a much more chaotic area. Zhirong drew a line on the edge of the Dongyue grassland, if this grassland can become the territory of the north, then the overall area of the north is not inferior to Jingtang.

She was taken aback by the idea in her mind, and when did she start to have ambitions for herself. She stopped writing, and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, tomorrow to attack the city, will there be tribes in the Dongyue grassland to help Cao Zhen, or even if Cao Zhen is defeated, he can also lead troops into the Dongyue grassland, it will be difficult to do at that time.

Zhirong summoned Shen Qing in overnight, told her what he thought, and sent her to take 5,000 people to the edge of the Dongyue grassland in the rear of the Golden State to block Cao Zhen's retreat.

Shen Qing slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of it!" But master, although it is not a problem for me to control the steppe wolf, what should I do on your side? ”

"Didn't Jin Shi and Ling'er also learn the art of beast control from you? Rest assured, these beasts won't hurt me at least, and I think I can command them. Zhirong took out the sword: "Not to mention this." ”

This sword was made by Shen Qing with the spikes on the tongue of the ice toad, and it was carefully forged by Jin Zixuan to become a rare sword. Zhirong didn't want it, she felt that it was enough for her to have an embroidery needle, but at this time, this sword had become a sign of command, and those beasts seemed to worship this sword as well.

"Master, Shen Qing will not fail in his mission!" Shen Qing bowed and then said solemnly: "You must be careful!" ”

On the second day, Zhirong's team attacked the Golden State, Cao Zhen deserved to have been on the battlefield, and the defense was very well done, and the five thousand people led by Zhirong could not get close to the city wall at all.

He didn't take this grimace commander in his eyes originally, his eyes were full of disdain, but when he heard his subordinates report that there were pinching attacks on the left and right sides, he really looked at Zhirong.

However, Zhirong didn't give him too much time, she had already started to get lucky, and the beasts gathered more and more, Cao Zhen laughed disdainfully when he saw this: "The surname is white, you can't protect yourself!" "After all, she was born as an embroidery girl, and this battlefield is a man's world.

However, he soon stopped laughing, because the beasts did not attack Zhirong's team at all, but were very respectful to Zhirong. In particular, the silver ice wolf, the king of all beasts in the north, whose body as tall as a wild horse actually bowed his head to Zhirong.

Zhirong pulled out the Han Toad Sword and pointed it at the sky, and then pointed at Cao Zhen: "Attack!" With this order, the ice wolf roared first, followed by the roar of ten thousand beasts, and then rushed towards the Golden State Capital.

"Shoot the arrows! Kill these brutes! "Although some of the beasts died by the arrows, there were so many that the beasts that died in front became ladders, and the beasts behind jumped up the tower in anger.

Cao Zhen was in a hurry to fire three arrows at once, one of the arrows was shooting at Zhirong's horse, Zhirong fell off the horse at once, Jin Shi and Ling'er were shocked, and suddenly saw a dazzling silver light flashing, and then everyone saw Zhirong sitting on the ice wolf.
