The early spring sunshine is sprinkled on the majestic Taihang where everything is recovering, the fragrance of fresh grass leaves is everywhere, and the melodious birdsong comes from time to time in the mountains and forests, everything is so stable and peaceful, as if it indicates a good start.

Nanying's heart is also full of joy and relaxation, this expedition into the primeval forest, not only thrilling, eye-opening, but also unimaginable harvest.

First of all, he subdued Sun Binshuo, mastered the source of oil, and cleared the layers of fog of the sexagenary branch, which not only effectively weakened its potential threat, but also got rid of the long-term situation of blindly being beaten passively. In addition, the unexpected harvest of the three demon beast cubs also made Yang Kun, who arrived in a hurry, look like a treasure, and his complaints about Nanying forcing him to fight fires everywhere in the past year immediately disappeared.

Nanying took the opportunity to puff up his tongue and strongly persuaded Yang Kun to lead half of the soldiers of the Beast Battalion to garrison the forest, subdue the beasts, hoard oil, and at the same time monitor the Sun family nearby. Yang Kun agreed without hesitation, and only proposed to ask Fang Hu to assist. The elephant taming plan in the Yingchuan Mountains has been taken over by Luo Sanshan, and he happens to have nothing to do, so he can hunt for treasures in this mysterious forest, and fulfill his wish to collect all the strange beasts in the world.

When Zhang Yan, Bai Que and others heard that the killer group sent by the Tiangandi tribe had been forced into the Taihang Mountain Jedi and annihilated, they were even more grateful to Nanying and spared no effort to personally lobby all parties to steal the head. The forces of all parties were not only intimidated by the pressure of the court and the undefeated prestige of Nanying, but also Zhang Yan and several people appeared to say that they went out of the mountain to accept Zhao'an in person. In just more than ten days, there were thirteen leaders such as Zhang Baiqi, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, and Bai Huan who accepted the imperial court, and the price they paid was just that each family recommended dozens of skilled mountain warriors to the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General!

Soon, a large number of people from Taihang Mountain walked out of the mountains and returned to their hometowns. Their former leader had been transformed into a magistrate appointed by the court or a garrison general, and this means of stabilizing people's hearts and minds had indeed greatly dispelled the concerns of the people. At the same time, the steady stream of food sent out in the camp of the Han army outside the mountains dispelled the last trace of dark clouds in their hearts. The court has allocated a lot of food, this is to let us live well! It seems that there will never be a settlement after the fall!

For those leaders who are still fantasizing or waiting, Nanying only handed over one sentence: Don't accept Zhao'an for the time being, you can! But as long as you dare to take a step out of Taihang Mountain, you will bear the consequences!

He personally summoned the sixteen factions that had already accepted the edict and issued a clear order, as long as the remaining nine families showed a little disobedience, the various ministries would be exterminated, not only in terms of meritorious deeds, but also in the distribution of money, food, and materials according to the amount of effort, and the court would not take a penny.

As soon as these words came out, the Zhao'an generals who were eager to make meritorious contributions were certainly gearing up and eager to try, but they were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and the nine thieves were even more frightened, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they could not live in fear.

There was only one thing that made Nanying a little unhappy. Huang Zhong tactfully told him that although his son had just recovered from a serious illness, he was still at an immature age, and it was inconvenient for him to join the army with his son. He pleaded with Nanying that when his son was mature in three years, he would join him under Nanying's command.

Nanying heard it, but he knew it well, what serious illness was just recovering and still at an immature age? It's all a pretext! Although the people of this era value promise, they value filial piety even more. Huang Zhong is not unwilling to contribute to him, but he is just delaying time and unwilling to openly meet with the old people of the Heavenly Stem Branch. If Nanying can make this dark battle settle as soon as possible, Huang Zhong is afraid that he will take the initiative to vote.

In this regard, in addition to being stunned, Nanying did not blame Huang Zhong for breaking his promise. If it were him, he was afraid that he would not be able to make such a ruthless decision. Three years is three years, as long as the contemporary arrow god will eventually become his minion, it is a blessing! It's better for him to be an enemy and make it difficult for him to sleep.

Is it a sexagenary branch? A sneer appeared on his lips, he was really stupid! In such a special period, it seems that only that person can control such a huge and terrifying organization! It's ridiculous that he had a relationship with him in vain before, but he didn't suspect him at all. However, no matter how he can turn the rain and clouds, he is destined to only become a supporting role in this era.

As long as they can return to the imperial capital again, except for the mysterious and unpredictable Jiayi and Cyi, all the important members of the sexagenary branch will be placed under close surveillance by themselves, and they will not be able to escape the end of the doom in the end, and may even end in the cruel internal strife ahead of schedule. The so-called sexagenary branches, they are not recorded in any historical records, and they are also destined to be silently annihilated in the long river of history!

During this relatively quiet day, Nanying always likes to stand alone on a high place, staring into the distance, quietly waiting for the moment when Zhang Jiao arrives.

Time passed bit by bit, nine points full of hope, one point of anxiety, in the bitter waiting, the pointer of time finally pointed to April of the second year of Zhongping.

On this day, a shocking news came from afar, and Nanying's heart lake, which was gradually calming down, was stirred up in an instant.

With the urgent battle report and the Lingdi urgently recalling Beijing, he couldn't help but be at a loss, and his heart was full of mixed feelings! In the counterinsurgency war, the Han army was still like the development of history, it was defeated, and the Han River was in danger! It seems that when I return to Beijing this time, it is still inevitable that I will wear a robe again! But...... What should I do with my agreement with Zhang Jiao?

Since the left cavalry general Huangfu Song was dismissed from his post due to ineffective combat, and nearly 200,000 Han troops were all under the command of the cavalry general Zhang Wen, the Han army launched a full-scale offensive, defeating the rebel generals Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and attracting the rebel leaders Bian Zhang and Han Sui to lead the army to help. Nearly 300,000 men and horses of the two armies conducted a large-scale main battle in the area of Meiyang. In the battle, the rebels were defeated, and the loss of soldiers reached 20,000. Zhonglang made meritorious contributions to Dong Zhuo in this battle and was reappointed as the general of the captives.

Zhang Wen finally forgot Nanying's advice, he took advantage of the momentum of the great victory to press forward step by step, and ordered Dong Zhuo, who was reinstated, to lead an army of 30,000 to pursue Huangzhong Yiconghu led by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and ordered Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Yuzhong, and directly take Bian Zhang and Han Sui. Zhou Shenzhi was very talented, ignoring Sun Jian's suggestion to cut off the enemy's food route, and insisted on going deep alone, but was cut off from transportation and supplies by Han Sui, resulting in a great defeat, and the 30,000-strong army was almost wiped out. Although Dong Zhuo marched cautiously, he was surrounded by the enemy in two directions, and if it were not for the forced crossing of the Wei River, he would have been almost wiped out by the rebels.

All of a sudden, the Han army's armies were either defeated or blocked, and the offensive was wiped out. The rebels were also wounded, temporarily entrenched in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, forming a tug-of-war with the Han army in the upper valley of the Wei River.

On the surface, it seems that both sides have won and lost, and have fallen into a situation of confrontation. But only a few people of insight have been terrified and know that the situation has reached a critical moment.

The Han army lost nearly 50,000 horses in several major battles, although it still maintained a numerical advantage, but people with a discerning eye know that almost all the elite of the Han army has been lost, and most of the remaining 140,000 troops are new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is low, and it is rare to barely hold the defense line for hundreds of miles, let alone turn defense into attack.

On the other hand, the rebels in Liangzhou, after several major battles, still have an elite main force of 100,000 people, and even most of them are brave and good light cavalry. And the most terrifying thing is that their backup is still coming to the front line, and most of their soldiers are Qianghu soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, and their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Han troops.

The only weakness of the rebels is logistics! The reason why they deliberately showed weakness and stalemate with the Han army was precisely when they were waiting for the military supplies to be completed! At that time, they will use the offensive of sweeping the fallen leaves with a strong wind, and drive straight into Sanfu, first take Chang'an, and then attack Luoyang.

The above is the latest battle report sent by the Spirit Emperor's 100,000 people in a hurry.

Nan Ying carefully savored the analysis of the battle situation in his hand, but there was an uneasy premonition in his heart. There have been too many irregularities in this campaign. The first is Dong Zhuo's successful withdrawal of troops. The Han army from all walks of life was a hundred miles away, and the beginning and the end could not be taken into account, but he was the only one who performed a moving story of "forcibly crossing the Dadu River" in a legendary way, and a miraculous person was not damaged! If there is no element of internal and external collusion in this, I won't believe it if I kill Nanying!

Secondly, judging from the battle report, the main force of the rebels has a relative advantage, although it may be delayed because of logistics, but in any case, we should not give up this best opportunity to attack! They could take advantage of the fact that the Han army's foothold was not stable, and choose an important front-line town to make a key breakthrough, so that they could solve some of the logistical and military problems in battle. However, they actually stopped uncharacteristically, is it really because of military supplies? No, it doesn't make sense!

Finally, and what disturbed Nanying the most, the situation of the enemy and us was clear at a glance in the battle report, especially the actions of several major generals of the enemy army. However, Nanying did not find the figure of the unknown female general, let alone the name of Yan Xing, the first fierce general in Liangzhou. Nan Ying's heart once again appeared that peerless shadow, this strange whereabouts, his swift as the wind of the mysterious opponent, is she secretly brewing a deadly war game?

Nanying rode up a mound and watched the large group of soldiers and horses below rush by, and a sense of uncertainty arose in his heart. Emperor Ling's secret book vaguely revealed his willingness to go on the expedition again, but the imperial capital had no troops to send, and there were only more than 3,000 people under his command, plus the temporarily recruited Taihang Mountain homeless soldiers, there were less than 5,000 people.

Nanying suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, Emperor Ling really had a foresight, if he hadn't sent himself in time to appease the Hebei bandits, then today, the two capitals would be surrounded at the same time, like two isolated reefs hanging in the ocean, which could be completely submerged at any time. At that time, it will be a catastrophe!

The piercing sound of the eagle whistle sounded, and the southern eagle looked up in amazement, but saw a harrier eagle falling from the sky and flying towards the army.

Is there any news of the battle? The sense of foreboding in Nanying's heart became stronger and stronger, and he looked straight into the army, waiting for the Tianyan warrior to present the news.

After a while, a horse galloped out of the army and rushed straight towards the hill.

"General, something is wrong!" Gao Feng jumped off the horse with a pale face, grabbed Nanying's horse's head, and said in a trembling voice: "Imperial Capital, their target is the Imperial Capital!" ”

"What nonsense?" Nan Ying's heart shook violently, and he shouted: "The main force of the rebels is on the front line, how can it be possible to fly to the imperial capital with wings, this news is not right!" ”

"According to the biography of the wind-listening warrior Feiying lurking in Hongnong, Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi, and the Haoqiang Kingdom of Hanyang rebelled together, and they passed through the line of Longxi and Hanyang, went straight through Anding and entered Sanfu, and joined Han Sui's army to enter Zuo Fengyi, ignoring Chang'an, which was close at hand, but rushed all the way to the imperial capital!" Gao Feng hissed: "All the way through, all the Han troops that tried to stop the attack were defeated, and according to their marching speed, their vanguard should be no more than a hundred miles away from the imperial capital!" ”

"What?" Nanying almost fell off his horse, and he suddenly shouted with all his might: "The whole army obeys the order, even if it runs to death, it must reach the imperial capital before the enemy army!"

PS: I was very tired from work today, and I had another afternoon meeting, and I almost had a lazy mind.

But soon, Bai Xue saw the message of giving up NO= admitting defeat, I admit, brother, your simple and sincere words, I was deeply moved! Can you find a single reason for being lazy?

For the prospect of this book, I throw in the towel! But admit defeat NO = give up! Because of your friends who have been silently supporting me and encouraging me wholeheartedly, Bai Xue will never give up easily!
