The wind blows the flagpole, and the flag hunts and flies.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, fluttering in the wind, falling on a large tent, covering up other colors, and between heaven and earth, only a white expanse remained.

This camp that stretches for more than ten miles is where the main camp of the Jingbian Army is located, located on the north bank of the Ji River.

The Ji River meanders out from the Taihang Mountains in the northwest, several rivers converge along the way, from a clear stream to a river with a width of about ten zhang, this is still the dry period, if it is the rising water period at the turn of spring and summer, the river will rush to the southeast like a big dragon, pass through Handan and other places and then rush into the big river, merge into the big river Hao Hao Tang Tang to the east, a hundred rivers return to the sea.

The moat of Handan City is a tributary of the Ji River, and after going around in a big circle, it flows into the Ji River again after going around and around.

The camp of the Jingbian army is in the upper reaches of Handan City, on the north bank of the Hebei River, and Handan City has a distance of hundreds of miles, and then hundreds of miles to the north is the boundary of Julu Town, Handan Town and Julu Town plus Zhongshan in the north, thousands of years ago, it was the territory of the ancient Zhao State, in the Great Qi Dynasty, Handan Town and Julu Town are connected, called Zhao County, after the establishment of the Tang Empire, in order to suppress Zhao County Li, this was divided into Handan County and Julu County.

Although the ancestral hall of Zhao County Li is located in Handan Town, the Li family also has a strong influence in Julu Town, which has not changed because Julu Town belongs to the Yan Zhao Fan Town Group.

Hundreds of miles to the north of the Jingbian military camp is where the military camp of Julu Town is located, and the area between the hundreds of miles is basically without the existence of villages and forts, and there are few people, but it is a no-man's land formed under the influence of the war.

On the surface, Julu Town still belongs to the Tang Empire, and has not openly raised an anti-flag, in fact, the tentacles of the Chang'an Imperial Court have basically been cut off, and only a very small number of officials are stationed in Julu Town by the Chang'an Imperial Court.

These officials are either from a poor family, or they are from a super-first-class gatekeeper, the former is just an outcast, but the latter is not, serving in Hebei is a qualification, and after three years, when he returns to the imperial court, he will be promoted three levels in a row.

Of course, even the court officials who were born in the family of the gate lord have no real power in Yanzhao Domain, and they are more like liaison messengers, communicating between the court and the domain, once the two sides have dirty and caused friction, these court officials are scapegoats, and those who are born in poor families often lose their heads, and those who are born in wealthy families generally do not touch him, but it is not completely safe.

After all, there are still many crazy people in this world.

Perverts like Nangong are not only unique to the Jingbian Army, once they initiate their temperament, the face of the Heavenly King Laozi will not be sold.

Feng Li led the Jingbian army to attack Handan Town, stationed here for ten years, he is a dagger inserted into Hebei by the central court, Yan Zhao Fan Town will naturally not ignore it, a few years ago, Yan Zhao Fan Town to Julu Town as the vanguard, secretly provoked several frictions, want to expel the Jingbian Army from Handan Town, rushed to the south of the river, not allowed to garrison in Hebei.

However, these conflicts have not achieved their goals.

In recent years, the border has calmed down, but there is no big war between tens of thousands of people, but there are continuous skirmishes, such as the bloody battalion rushing into the boundary of Julu Town to fight the grass valley, or the feudal army disguised as a white skeleton horse bandit to break into the boundary of Handan Town, and other things emerge in endlessly, a year ago, because of a trivial matter, the Jingbian Army and Julu Town also clashed at the border.

At that time, Feng Li was still alive, but in the fallen state, there was not much longevity.

Therefore, Julu Town gathered more than 10,000 troops to march south, using a small incident as an excuse to provoke the Jingbian Army, just to test whether the rumors are true or false, that time, it was Liang Fengzhi who led the Jingbian Army to meet the enemy.

In that battle, Liang Fengzhi showed the combat effectiveness of a grandmaster-level martial artist.

Julu Town was repelled by the Jingbian Army, and it stopped provoking, this year, the wind and waves have been calm, of course, everything is just calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging under the water surface.

The camp of the Jingbian Army stretched for more than ten miles, and there were some gaps in the middle, which divided the major camps.

The Tie Yu Battalion led by Guo Hui is located in the northwest corner, on a small hillside, the slope of the Ji River meanders through, next to the camp, there is a simple wharf, docked more than a dozen Fu boats and dozens of assault boats.

Guo Hui's Tieyu battalion has a water army, which is extremely simple compared to the water camp stationed in the north and south of the Jiangnan River, which has hundreds of large ships at every turn, but in the land of Yan Zhao, such a water camp can be regarded as huge.

At this moment, he was standing on the sentry tower in the corner of the big camp next to the wharf, condescendingly looking at the water of the Ji River in front of him.

Snowflakes fall on the river, covering the line of sight, there is a bridge on the river surface more than ten miles downstream, at this time, it also vaguely appears in Guo Hui's sight, the pontoon bridge connects the north and south of the Ji River, the north bank is Liang Fengzhi's camp, and the south bank leads to Handan Town.

"Commander, His Royal Highness King Zhao has arrived in Handan, and the commander really doesn't go to greet him?"

Guo Hui turned his head and looked at the person who spoke.

Standing beside him is a middle-aged man wearing talisman armor, surnamed Yang Changlin, Yang Changlin has a red face, three strands of long hair on his chin, his forehead is high and raised, his nose is wide, this person is his lieutenant, although he is not surnamed Guo, his hometown is Fengxiang, and he is also married to a woman of the Guo family, speaking of which, he is also Guo Hui's brother-in-law, an old congenital strongman.

Guo Hui smiled, disdainful.

"The surname Liang is from a small family, even if he is already a grandmaster martial artist, but he does not have a grandmaster mentality, in this life, that's it, there is absolutely no possibility of being promoted to a great grandmaster!"

"Don't talk too much!"

Yang Changlin said with a smile.

He and Guo Hui are both congenital warriors, although Guo Hui is the commander of the Iron Feather Battalion, in fact, he doesn't care about everything, and the one who is really responsible for marching and fighting and various chores is actually Yang Changlin, who is the deputy. Whether it is in the court or in the locality, the Yang family is the only one in the Guo family, both of them are prosperous and the other is lost, Yang Changlin is the pillar of the Yang family, and he is a relative of the Guo family.

Therefore, even if he is the actual commander of the Iron Feather Battalion, his ability to march and fight is far above Guo Hui, and Guo Hui is still the boss.

Of course, because of the kinship, and the fact that he has to rely on Yang Changlin for everything, Guo Hui's attitude towards him will not be as arrogant as that of outsiders, and the communication between the two in private is relatively natural, even if there is anything that is not listened to, he does not care too much.

The two have different attitudes towards Liang Fengzhi.

Yang Changlin actually admires Liang Fengzhi, a warrior from a small family, who fought with the army at a young age, although the army has a supply of resources, it is far inferior to the family of gate lords and some super sects, even if you have more military merits, the resources you get and the cost you pay are not proportional, basically, it is to take your life in exchange, in the battle array, it is inevitable that there will be damage, if the vitality is too damaged, the foundation is not solid, no matter how talented you are, it is difficult to go to the next level.

Therefore, although the military heirs who practice in the military formation have strong combat effectiveness, the proportion of innate martial artists is not as good as that of the martial artists who practice in the sect or the sect, after all, the base of the army is so large, and there are very few who can really stand out.

Talent is important, but luck is even more important!

Relying solely on the resources of the army and not relying on external forces, there are very few warriors who can achieve great grandmasters for thousands of years, and most of the martial artists who have been promoted to great grandmasters in the army have other backgrounds.

Liang Fengzhi was promoted to Grandmaster powerhouse about a year ago, and at that time, Yang Changlin was startled.

Although the promotion of the innate martial artist to the grandmaster martial artist is not as difficult as the promotion of the grandmaster to the great grandmaster, it can be regarded as a life and death level, and the degree of difficulty far exceeds the level of promotion to the innate martial artist.

"What you don't know......"

Guo Hui stared at Yang Changlin, smiled, and shook his head.

"What do I not know?"

Yang Changlin also said with a smile.

"Where is the Ancient Venerable?"

Guo Hui changed the subject.

The Gu Venerable in his words is the worship of the Guo family, from the Northwest Gate Sect Yuquanmen Grandmaster-level powerhouse Gu Haoyang, half a year ago, this Gu Haoyang Gu Venerable came to Jingbian, taking over another grandmaster-level worship of the Guo family, he will stay in the Jingbian Army Tie Yu Camp for three years, responsible for protecting Guo Hui, and also representing the Guo family to sit in the Jingbian Army, so as not to be annexed by others.

"The Ancient Venerable ...... in Retreat"

Yang Changlin didn't understand why Guo Hui mentioned Venerable Gu, but he still answered Guo Hui's question.

After all, all martial artists at the level of a grandmaster have a dream of a great grandmaster in their hearts, and they have come to this point, only one step away from the gate of heaven, no one will give up, no one will think that it is impossible, if it is really so easy to give up, they will not be able to go this far.

Those who are really obsessed with power or can't let go of their responsibilities are very few after all.

"Three months ago, Venerable Gu and Liang Fengzhi had a face-to-face, although our Great Commander Liang is a Grandmaster Martial Artist, it's just that the foundation of his Grandmaster Martial Artist is not solid at all......"

Guo Hui chuckled and continued.

"His Grandmaster realm was formed by someone helping him!"

"You're talking about Feng Shuai?"

Yang Changlin was a little taken aback and said in a lost voice.

"Not bad!"

Guo Hui said categorically.

"If it weren't for Feng Shuai's loss of Shou Yuan to Liang Fengzhi, it would be impossible for the surname Liang to break through to the Grandmaster realm so quickly, it's just that he, the Grandmaster, relies on outsiders and has an unstable foundation, and his own Shou Yuan will also have consumption, and there is no comparison with a master like Gu Venerable, so this is the reason why he kneels and licks Du Rui's kid like this!"

Speaking of this, Guo Hui snorted coldly.

"King Zhao, bullshit King Zhao, if it weren't for my eldest sister, this kid would ......"

Guo Hui didn't continue, just snorted a few more times.
