Chapter Twenty-Five: Worship and Rong

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, chickens fly and dogs jump on the streets and alleys, Taikang City is like the center of the whirlpool, pulling and attracting all the people and things in the Shenguang Dynasty.

On the streets of the market, you can see the Yulin army patrolling and arresting people everywhere, wearing sharp armor and bows and crossbows, and drawing swords at every turn.

The words of the saint taking the human head sacrifice flag have already been spoken, and Chrysostom said that Kun Baichuan clearly opened the bow and did not turn back.

During the current Northern Expedition preparations, if Taikang City is not cleaned up, I am afraid that the saint will not be at ease, and the fire in the backyard will be a big trouble.

"Arrest, arrest them all, but if there is a suspicious person, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go." Kun Baichuan passed the bloody killing order in the camp of Jin Yuwei.

However, he said that Jiang Yunlang, the right attendant of the military department, knelt down and returned home at the second watch, and saw the old and young people gathered in the lobby to wait for him.

didn't care about changing clothes, so he took the wat board and went to chase and beat his brother Jiang Yunchang.

"I let you mess around all day long, fool around, follow a few of them to fool around, what's the end up with now?" For a while, the people in the Jiangfu hall turned their backs.

Jiang Yunchang shouted while hiding:

"What happened five years ago, who knew that Jin Yuwei's gang would be able to find out? Besides, it was a Dawan pure-blooded BMW that was brought in at the beginning, but it was just a transaction made in the Beihu border horse market, and when I returned to Taikang, it was not all raised in those families. ”

"If Kun Baichuan has a kind, go to the suburb of Beijing to investigate, and go to Bai Yanqiu's garden to search."

Jiang Yunchang really couldn't hide, so he could only run behind Mrs. Jiang and seek refuge.

Jiang Yunlang was not lightly angry, and pointed to his younger brother who was hiding behind Mrs. Jiang and scolded:

"Is there a kind of Kun Baichuan, it's not for you to point fingers with a yellow mouth.

He can pull your family's Jiang family firm out to confess, do you still think that following King Pingkang and them to fool around, you can be lawless? ”

"Grandmother, if you spoil Yun Chang like this, you will hurt him." Jiang Yunlang threw away the wat board in his hand and said helplessly to Mrs. Jiang.

"Since something goes wrong, solve the problem, and it won't help you to beat him like this. Yun Chang, this time grandma can't protect you, she doesn't do things well, and she goes to the board by herself. ”

Although Mrs. Jiang is in her old age, she is in good spirits and has a youthful face. usually lives in a simple place, but it is this old lady who secretly helms the Jiang family.

It was originally a hairpin family, but the poor two generations of Jiangfu helmsmen died mysteriously in Nanling Siam.

Seeing that the building is about to collapse, a group of opponents are surrounded by tigers and wolves. The old lady led her daughters-in-law to support the huge family business and raised the two grandchildren.

The eldest grandson Jiang Yunlang is even more outstanding, all the way to the top of the military department, and now he is the third person in the military department, and there are many praises in Taikang City, "Jiang family Yunlang, Yushu Linlang".

The youngest grandson Jiang Yunchang is under the protection of the big tree of the Jiang family firm and the eldest brother Jiang Yunlang, and has taken over most of the clan industries in recent years.

"Punish you to go to the ancestral hall and kneel and think, and you are not allowed to come out without my permission." Jiang Yunlang said to him with a pale face, Jiang Yunchang looked at his grandmother and was not sheltering him, so he had to reluctantly follow the housekeeper to the ancestral hall.

"Grandmother, the situation is dangerous, and the Holy Lord reprimanded Kun Baichuan in the court, 'Take him to sacrifice the flag.' After Jiang Yunlang chased after him for a while, he was tired and panting, sat down to drink a cup of tea, and said to Mrs. Jiang.

"I'm afraid this is for our Jiang family, and it is also for the officials. It depends on who hits the knife this time, and the sacrificial flag must be sacrificed. Old Lady Jiang squinted her eyes at the stove next to her, and the flames in the stove were swaying rapidly.

Yun Chang didn't know the severity, and followed King Pingkang and them to mess around, and in the end, they couldn't figure out the situation when they were sold. The saint gave his grandson five days to find out the facts of the case and was grounded for another month. Jiang Yunchang said to his grandmother with a solemn expression.

"Five days is enough, it doesn't matter if there is some blood this time, but if you are grounded for a month, won't it delay the preparation of the Northern Expedition by the Ministry of War. Old Lady Rong, I think about it..... "Although Old Lady Jiang is old, she has a clear mind and has grasped the key to the matter at once. The hopes of the Jiang family can be said to be betting on Jiang Yunlang, he must not have an accident, let alone be blocked from ascending.

The major affairs of the country are only worship and Rong.

The eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were focused on the people of the military department, and the transportation of grain and grass was naturally the top priority of the military department.

Lang'er, as the right attendant of the military department, if he is confined to his home at this time, he will gradually be isolated from the Northern Expedition, which is probably the most terrible political signal.

Mrs. Jiang didn't sleep all night, and at the end of the day, while the sky was not yet dawning, she arranged for her to enter the palace with a few boxes of gifts.

In the court of Guanghua Palace, all the ministers were busy cooperating with the saint to make a show. After getting out of the court, I went back to the house in twos and threes to prepare for the next scene.

It is said that Cui Hanzhang is puzzled by his own seal. After going down, he immediately arranged for Cui Xuan to send him to Cui Shangshu Mansion in Liyu Lane, and went back to tell his wife that he didn't have to wait for him to eat.

After Cui Hanzhang came to Cui's mansion, Cui Shangshu never returned. had to wait in the lobby, and then Cui Yun came over and called him to have dinner together,

"I heard you're going to the military department to order something?"

"Well, the Holy Lord has just given us the title of three people, Dong Baozhen returned to Hejian Mansion to serve as Tongzhi, Gu Dingchen entered the Taiyuan as a repairer, and I was sent to the military department to select the foreign lang." Cui Hanzhang was thinking about things in his heart and didn't care about Cui Yun's tone.

"There are many kings in the military department, and there are a lot of unruly people. You, a martial arts selector, say that it is not big, and it is not small when you say that it is not small. Although it is only a shame that it is bigger than the seventh-grade sesame official, it is also a sixth-grade in Taikang City, and it is not comparable to the two or five eyes of the prime minister's concierge. Cui Hanzhang thought that Cui Yun was laughing at him, and he didn't know how to answer her words.

"By the way, Jiang Yunchang and his eldest brother are the right attendants in the military department, and he is the guy who is known as "Jiang Family Yunlang, Yushu Linlang". I don't know how many times stronger than his brother. If you see him at the military headquarters, say hello to me. Cui Yun said it lightly, but Cui Hanzhang always felt that she seemed to have something to say.

"Hanzhang is here, don't get up, sit down" The two were chatting with each other, and Cui Shangshu walked into Pucaotang from outside.

Cui Hanzhang had already eaten almost enough, so he stood up directly, clasped his fists and saluted: "Shibo, Hanzhang is quite confused, so I came here to ask for advice." ”

"It's for the sake of your first three people, do you remember what I said last time?" Cui Shangshu sat on the Taishi chair and sipped a cup of tea.

"You said that the first three people are not unable to be released, Dong Baozhen returned to Hejian Mansion to Ren Tongzhi, but he is the place of household registration of the student, isn't the saint afraid that his Hejian Mansion will be run into a monolith, and the water outside can't be splashed in, and the needles can't be pierced?"

"What if this iron plate can be used by the court? Don't forget the history of Hejian Mansion, the people of Hejian Mansion are fierce, and there are many rangers and heroes. The most important thing is that it is located behind Jiatong Pass, and it is only separated from Beihu by a Kuiyin Mountain. Cui Shangshu simply explained its importance to Hanzhang again.

Listening to Cui Shangshu's words, he couldn't help but think a lot, but after all, when he first entered the officialdom, he couldn't understand it thoroughly for a while.

"Gu Dingchen's admission to the Taiyuan is the best operation of their Jiahu people, and this step is stable, there is nothing to say. The effect of the hind hand should also be seen after three years. Cui Shangshu didn't wait for him to think clearly, and then continued.

"As for your entry into the military department as a military selection officer, just now I went to the old man's house in the Ministry of Officials Ru to have a meal, and Ru Yu said mysteriously, maybe you are the immortal hand of the saint on the chessboard." Cui Shangshu also told the whereabouts of the next dynasty just now, and rubbed a meal with Ru Yu from the Ministry of Officials.

"If you come, you will be safe. You should especially pay attention to the fact that in the future, Shulanxuan will walk, and the holy Shulanxuan, and our ministers can only listen to the summons. Cui Hanzhang heard it in a fog, but since Cui Shangshu had said this, he could only keep it in his heart first, and then slowly understand it.

Then Cui Shangshu patiently explained to him some traditions of the Ministry of War, Liu Zhilun of the Ministry of War has always been iron-faced and ruthless, after you go, you can not ask for merit but for no fault. If there's anything else you want to know, just ask Cui Yun, she knows a lot about the military department.

"People don't care about the affairs of the military department, dad, don't laugh at your daughter." Cui Yun's face was shy, and he shook his arm coquettishly.

....................................

It was already a watch when he returned to Doumi Lane, and Cui Hanzhang said that he had eaten with Cui Yun in Cui Shangshu's Mansion.

Tomorrow, I will go to the military department to report on the military selection.

After the Northern Expedition Sacrifice Ceremony, the Ministry of War was in full swing to dispatch the grain and grass of soldiers and horses in various parts of Shenguang, and I heard that it was very busy, and I am afraid that there will be less time to go home for dinner in the future.

As he spoke, Cui Hanzhang thought that he would be regarded as a military attache of the Ministry of War in the future, so he called Cui Xuan and other small servants, and ran to the courtyard to see the layout of the martial arts arena.

In the future, you have to put away the set of scholars and literati and practice more, otherwise you will be embarrassed when you go to the military department and be laughed at and embroider pillows.

I saw that the open space on the left side of the house had been leveled, there were two pairs of stone locks and stone piers, and there was a huge stone mill, and it seemed that there were still some knives, guns and sticks.

"Oh, Cui Lang, you are a first-class tanhualang from the imperial examination, do you really have to practice like a big-headed soldier? It's not a martial artist. Mingwei laughed and teased him,

"You can't let the world laugh at you Cui Tanhua in the future, don't write good poems and articles, you have to dance with knives and guns."

"Sister Mingwei, you don't understand. Now that the saint is determined to go on the Northern Expedition, and I am a military elector of the military department, I can't lift my hands and shoulders and can't carry them when the time comes, wouldn't it make my colleagues laugh. Even if you don't need to charge into battle, if you practice well, you will always have the power to protect yourself when you go to the battlefield one day. Cui Hanzhang put down the stone lock and turned back to Mingwei to explain.

"Besides, which ancestor stipulated that the literati of the imperial examination could not wield a knife and a gun, and it was a real man's temperament to carry a knife and leap on a horse. The poets of the Northern Tang Dynasty are not also famous masters of the rivers and lakes. "The wine enters the bowels of Hao, seven points are brewed into moonlight, and the remaining three points are roared into sword qi, and half of the Tang Dynasty is spit out in the embroidered mouth" is not just praising his old man. ”

"Uncle's 'horses and dust, sword aura overflowing the three armies' are not inferior at all." The big girl next to Mingwei, Yun'er, couldn't help but clap her hands and praise.

"Wen can put pen to peace in the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world. My uncle will definitely be able to be a big hero with both civil and military skills in the future. ”

Mingwei smiled and said, "No matter what you guys are messing around, just don't hurt yourself, just take it easy", turned around and walked back to the hall.

Cui Hanzhang took Cui Xuan and other small servants to practice for an hour, and the tired sweat soaked through his clothes. Letting everyone disperse to rest, he continued to practice the kiln handle style long strength.

In the early morning of the next day, Han Zhang got up quite early, chose a capable and energetic suit, and went out early to report to the yamen of the military department.

Maybe he got up too early, Cui Hanzhang got out of the carriage and saw that the streets of the armory workshop were deserted, and the pedestrians were in twos and threes, which did not look like the location of the Great Yamen.

As soon as he walked to the yamen of the military department, he was stopped by the guards standing guard, seeing that he was not dressed like a martial artist, and he didn't even have an official uniform, so he stopped to ask and check.

Cui Hanzhang greeted him with a smile: "The two guard brothers, the newly appointed martial arts officer Wailang, this is a post, please be accommodating." ”

"Martial arts selector Wailang, what did you say earlier, which one?" The guards saw that he was quite young and well-dressed, and thought that he was the son and brother of some family in Taikang City, who came to the Yamen of the Military Department to make a living.

But the two have been talking to him for so long, why are they so unreasonable.

"Martial arts officer Wailang, right? The identity is no problem, just stand there and wait, this will be the time before the yamen arrives. ”

One of the guards pointed to the right of the stone lion at the gate, and the two ignored him.

"The janitor is a tough little ghost." Cui Hanzhang thought for a while, and then stepped forward again and took out two taels of silver, and stuffed them into the sleeves of the two guards without a trace.

"I'm tired of the two big brothers going in and reporting it." Touching the silver taels in his sleeves, the smiling guards nodded, and one of them turned around and walked into the yamen.

"Oh, how can you let Cui Tanhua, the new science and technology jinshi, wait at the entrance of the yamen? You two bastards, you're blind, aren't you? I saw the head of the military selection of the military department walking out of it quickly to meet him, and scolded the two guards standing guard as he walked.

I saw that the guard who was still standing at the head of the gate heard this, and immediately his face changed, and he said to him with a smile:

"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me." As he spoke, he wanted to return the silver.

"Those who don't know are not to blame" Cui Hanzhang also met the main man who came quickly while clasping his fists, dodging the guard's hand to return the silver, and said to the two guards.

The two greeted each other all the way and walked into the yamen hall of the military department. At this time, I saw Liu Zhilun, the secretary of the military department, Dai Runan, the left attendant, and the officials of the military election, the staff, the chariot, and the officials of the arsenal to discuss the major affairs of the Northern Expedition military aircraft in the lobby.

What gave Liu Zhilun a headache was that the Ministry of War couldn't help but be busy dispatching soldiers, horses, food and grass, as well as the errand of arresting the assassins of the Beihu Lushui Camp appointed by the Holy Lord.

He stroked his temples with his hands, frowning as he listened to the report of the Qing Officials, while his mind was thinking about the assassination of the water saucer. didn't notice that Cui Hanzhang came in with the head of Wu Xuan, and the two didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so they had to find a place to sit down first.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. There is no problem with the supply of grain and grass on the third road and the second road, and the Chinese army and the left road each have one million stones have been transported away to Jiatong Pass, and the follow-up grain transportation line has also been opened.

At present, only the grain and grass of the army on the right has only opened up the grain transportation line, but it is seriously in short supply, and there is still a gap of 700,000 stones.

My lord, I'm afraid that the military department will not be able to deal with this situation for a while, and the household department is still discussing countermeasures.

After all, the perennial tax collection rate in Yunlin, Hejian and other places is less than fifty percent, and now suddenly there is no way to take out so much ready-made grain and grass.

"Oh, this can be slowed down." Liu Zhilun was interrupted from his thoughts and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, Cui Hanzhang, the new science and technology jinshi, is here to report on the martial arts selection outsider." When the king saw the vacancy, he hurriedly reported.

"Xiaguan Cui Hanzhang came to report", Cui Hanzhang stood up and quickly walked in front of Liu Zhilun, clasped his fists and saluted.

At this time, everyone in the hall stared at him, and muttered in their hearts: "I am young enough, I can't help but think that at my age, I am still fighting in the barracks for my qualifications, and this is still relying on the ancestral shadow of the family." β€œ

Cui Tanhua is already in the sixth official residence at such a young age, and she is in the same office as me. I can't help but feel that the afterlife is terrifying, people are more angry than people. But more of it is still indifferent, the offspring has never been beaten in the barracks, and he has come to the military department to mess around, and some of them have suffered hardship.

"Since Cui Tanhua has come to the military department, we are all colleagues and study the terrain of Beihu together. Later, let Wu Xuan Langzhong Cao Ren take you to familiarize yourself with the situation of the Yamen. Liu Shangshu did not talk to him too politely, briefly explained a few things, and then organized everyone to analyze the situation again.

Everyone saw that Master Shangshu was not interested in this new science and technology exploration flower, and they were all thinking about how to deal with the newcomer later.

Cui Hanzhang feels very normal, at the moment of the military aircraft, where does the chief officer of the dignified department have the heart to deal with him.

He walked back to his seat with his fists clenched and looked at the situation map of Beihu on the table, only to listen to the audience constantly discussing the plan for sending troops to fight. When I first arrived, it was quite interesting to listen to, after all, it was a bookish businessman, and he scolded Fang Xuan, and he finally felt shallow on paper. Now the autumn soldiers on the battlefield have really happened.

Most of the military departments were military attachΓ©s, and they were all trained in the military camp. Some are from the border garrison battalion, some are from the Longyuan River Water Division battalion, and some are from the city defense Yulin army battalion. In Dong Baqian's words, there are not so many mothers-in-law and mothers' affairs, life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you will do it.

This will be because of the endless debate on the plan to send troops, the martial artists are strong-blooded, and they don't fight to the death with real swords and guns on the battlefield, but they are not drunk at the wine table. Therefore, they fought with each other, and no one was convinced.

As for the soldiers, is it better to go out of Hejian Mansion and cross Kuiyin Mountain and go straight to the Beihu Palace? Or is it slowly advancing from outside Jiatong Pass? Or a feint, in fact, they sent sailors to the north along the Longyuan River to sneak attack glazes, red clams, clouds and other places. Cui Hanzhang sounded quite reasonable, but listening to the words of several factions attacking each other, he felt funny.

"If Kuiyin Mountain is so easy to turn, Hejian Mansion has already been trampled by the Beihu Iron Cavalry, and it is estimated that it is a question whether our new champion Lang has the life to participate in the imperial examination." I saw a strong man with a beard sneering.

"There is also the Longyuan River sailor who went north, please go and pick up the history books, there is no one in the past dynasties who can go up the river to lock the dragon ditch. You haven't arrived at Youyun, Chiyan and other places, can we withstand several waves of cavalry charges in Jiatong Pass? Even if you go through a lot of hardships and cross the Suolong Ditch and go directly to the Gabu Lake Horse Farm in the most upstream, I'm afraid the cucumber vegetables will be cold. ”

"Then according to your Dong Baqian's words, there is no other method of warfare except for Jiatong Pass? Fifty miles outside Jiatong Pass is all grassland flatland, you also said that the Beihu Iron Cavalry is brave, and it is most suitable for charging in the open area, and I am afraid that the Chinese army camp will be gone after several chiselings. This caused the crowd to burst into laughter.

"Okay, I'll sort out all the things I just discussed into a file and send it to my desk, and I'll discuss it the day after tomorrow. Runan and Cao Ren took Cui Tanhua away, and we are familiar with the military department, and we will go to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the new foreigners. Shangshu Liu Zhilun made the final decision.

Zuo Shilang Dai Runan was much kinder than Liu Zhilun, who came forward to enthusiastically introduce everyone to Cui Hanzhang, and took him around the entire courtyard of the military department, and his rich voice made people feel close. But he never saw Jiang Yunlang, the No. 3 person, since others didn't mention it, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

The scale of the Yamen of the Military Department was far smaller than he imagined, with only three four-story buildings in total, surrounded by a courtyard of ten acres square, which did not match the prestige of the Shenguang Dynasty as a military aircraft center, and it could even be said that the contrast was a bit large.

There is more than one iron workshop larger than it on the street of the armory workshop, Cao Ren observed the words and looks, saw Cui Hanzhang's confusion, and explained: "Lord Cui doesn't know, the firearms bureau, the magic arrow bureau, and the war horse bureau in our yamen are not here. This is only a gathering place for the chief officials of the yamen and the officials of the Qing Dynasty, and then it gradually evolved into a topic place, which is also convenient for everyone to hand over to the palace. ”

In the end, Dai Shilang took him to the Wuxuan Division to meet with his colleagues, and explained that Wuxuan Langzhong settled Cui Hanzhang, and then rested for a while, and after a while, everyone went directly to Zuihonglou to pick up the wind for the staff.

Although the two chief officers only drank a glass of wine, they left. But how could He De need to alarm Shangshu and Lord Shilang to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, which made the people present that day quite incomprehensible.

However, the words of the two chief officers before leaving were full of meaning, and they must accompany the foreign officer and let him have an in-depth understanding of the traditional style of the military department.

All the Qing officials, veterans were born in oil, and they figured out the experts. Everyone gave full play to the style of the military department that dared to fight and fought and never died on the wine table.

Cui Hanzhang looked at the glass of wine that came over, the rough and vicissitudes of black faces, and the men who raised his arms at every turn, and he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. It's just that I feel that these people drink wine as water, and all of them have a lot of it.

He only had one thought before he lost consciousness, Bai Yanqiu and Qin Siyang were really just a little fight. He drank until the first watch of the lamp, he was drunk and unconscious, and was carried out horizontally by several people.

I was drunk and fell asleep for two days, and I got up in the middle and played a round of drunken boxing, and finally I was lying on the martial arts field with a stone mill, and Harazi flowed all over the ground.

Afterwards, Cui Hanzhang concluded that the cattle of the Ministry of War, that is not drinking, it is playing with life.

But further on, when he arrived at the battlefield and fought with a knife, he realized that these men should drink like this. So much so that it was rumored in later generations that Cui Da poet was really an alcoholic.

Of course, he didn't expect that everyone in the military department intended to give him a dismount.

Seeing the hairy boy who has not dried up, he is naturally unhappy when he sits on an equal footing with these old men who have worked hard.

In comparison, they have been intriguing all the way, and it is indeed quite difficult, and the martial artists are more direct, either standing or lying on their stomachs.

Although the dismount was given, the martial arts officer Wai Lang did not admit the character of not slipping away, and won the respect of these men. At least like a gentleman, who hasn't been carried out lying down, not ashamed.

Cui Hanzhang was drunk at the wrong time, delayed things, and caused a lot of trouble.

The Holy Lord decreed that Shu Lanxuan walked to meet him, but his father-in-law couldn't wake him up after inviting him twice, so he had to go back and tell the truth.

provoked the anger of the saint Longyan, who was so profligate at a young age, directly sent the imperial doctor to give him acupuncture and sobering up, and after waking up the next day, he was punished to kneel and wash Lanxuan for half a day.

Pity him for being drunk and kneeling hungry after waking up, if it weren't for Princess Yunlan secretly taking pastries to satisfy his hunger, I'm afraid that with his body and bones, he would have to faint from hunger.

During the punishment and kneeling, he also had to record the strategic deployment of the saint: Emperor Jialong drove his own expedition to command the army on the middle road, starting from Taikang and passing through Hejian Mansion along the way, and after joining Yao Yu's army at Jiatong Pass, he went straight to Youyun City. The army on the left was led by Lingwu Hou Bai Juque and Pingkang Wang as the second marshal, starting from Taikang along Qigou and Tunzhou north to Shuofang, and sneaking up on Gabu Lake Racecourse. The army on the right was commanded by Liu Zhilun, the secretary of the military department, and the second marshal of Zekang Wang, starting from Taikang, along the way, crossing the Zhutuo River and bypassing Kuiyin Mountain and continuing north.

The army in the middle advanced as a sharp knife, and the left and right flanks each blocked reinforcements and defended the central army, and the three-way army formed an arrow offensive.

The core of this strategy lies in encircling the point to send reinforcements and encroach on consumption. The terrain of Beihu is deep and vast from east to west, and the tribal settlements are scattered in dots, and their ability to ride and shoot makes them confident that they can quickly support each other and assemble. Emperor Jialong finally finalized the strategic plan after convening countless sand table deductions from various military ministers. It is precisely with the superiority and self-confidence of the Beihu cavalry and shooting nation as a blind spot that it eats away at consumption.

In terms of tactics, the sharp knife of the middle army attacked the important town of Youyun in Beihu, advancing along the way, remembering that it was not a decisive battle with the Beihu cavalry, so it was necessary to contain the main force of the cavalry on the left and right, and the combination of virtual and real made Beihu unable to distinguish the main movement of the main force of Shenguang.

While pinning down the main force of cavalry on the left and right, it is important to intercept the Beihu reinforcements along the way, so as to ensure that when the army in the middle lane besieges Youyun City head-on, the two flanks will not be attacked by cavalry.

Youyun City is an important town leading to the royal court of Beihu, once it is taken, it can attack and sweep the surrounding strongholds, and then it will form an inverted fan attack phalanx, suppressing the front of Beihu, and the condescending terrain and abundant water and grass resources are the most suitable for long-term garrison.

Even if the two parties confront each other in the future, Youyun City is like a sharp knife inserted into the territory of Beihu by divine light, and Emperor Jialong will adopt a plan to gradually encroach on Beihu in the future.

Cui Hanzhang looked at Emperor Jialong standing in front of the huge topographic map of Beihu, and listened to him constantly deduce the changes in the situation, as well as the scale of battles that might be encountered along the way, blocking the tribes, and he knew in his heart that this was the grand strategic deployment that the Holy Lord had planned for a long time.

Last winter, Beihu was hit by a rare snowstorm disaster, and many tribes had no choice but to raid everywhere when they could not continue.

Now that spring has begun, the resumption of production should be the first priority, and there must be no large-scale cavalry build-up. And if you wait until the autumn fat and horse fattening, the divine light will inevitably be passive.

On the contrary, Shenguang has had a bumper grain harvest for three consecutive years, the soldiers are well trained, and the court is full of fierce soldiers.

At least for the first time he heard it, the Divine Light Dynasty fully activated the cattle and horse pen plates lurking in Beihu's territory, and at the same time cut off the transmission of information between Beihu and the ghost side.

And King Pingkang and King Zekang, who were present that day, obviously heard the cattle and horses for the first time, at least they all thought that the intelligence information of the inner court Jin Yuwei was in control of the divine light, and now it seems that there is a more mysterious cattle and horse pen plate. Thinking of what each other did on weekdays, the father may have seen it in his eyes, and both of them couldn't help sweating on their foreheads.

What surprised everyone even more was that the first piece of information about the current life of the Niumalan Saucer was the hiding place of the leader of the Beihu Green Water Camp. The military department, Jin Yuwei and the Yulin army have been tracking for many days without a trace, and the assassin, the leader of the water saucer, is hiding in the Jinming Pond.

is really well versed in the essence of the art of war, put it to death and come back to life, the leader of the water saucer actually sneaked back to the scene of the assassination Jin Mingchi, no wonder Jin Yuwei and the Yulin Army searched door to house, but found nothing. He actually played with the lights and ran to the most dangerous crime scene to hide.

Kun Baichuan immediately led the Jin Yuwei regiment to surround Jin Mingchi, and even brought in a machine crossbow to hunt, if nothing else, it should have been captured.

The leader of the water saucer was indeed hidden in the Jin Ming Pool, and after being discovered, he broke through fiercely, but fortunately, the crossbow was present to control the high altitude, and he was still injured, and finally lost more than 20 Jin Yuwei in the case of capturing this person alive.

The appearance of the cattle and horse pen surprised and delighted several bigwigs present, and they were glad that Shenguang had such a mysterious spy organization, and the victory of the Northern Expedition was greatly increased. What frightened them was that there should also be cattle and horses in Taikang City, and whether the ministers were also in their surveillance range?

The human heart is the only thing that cannot be seen directly except the sun.
