August 11 of the twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing

Tangzhou, Chunfu City.

Great Xia is within a radius of Kyushu, east and west, north and south are thousands of miles, there are countless famous cities and counties, and Chunfu is just one of the most inconspicuous third-rate cities, although it is also a county guard, but the city is only a few miles, and the household registration can reach 10,000, although it is equipped with nearly 2,000 defenders, but it directly belongs to He Lingbing's "Shi Cheng Army", just a charge, and it was simply taken down.

The so-called "Shi Cheng Jun", but it is the name given by the Yuqing Zhenren: although Gai He Lingbing is a daughter, but he is extremely proud of his character, he refuses to lose in everything, especially the difference between men and women, and often writes "current affairs are man-made, multiply and only know himself" poem to encourage himself, after raising the army, Yuqing simply named his self-leading army as "Shi Cheng Jun" to encourage him, which is to take the meaning of "Shi Cheng Six Dragons", and secretly strong to "can control the sky". Under the command of He Lingbing, this army must conquer and win the battle, and it is a first-class strong soldier in the Taiping army.

"Finally managed to grab a few days......"

After entering the city, there was no time to rest, He Lingbing instructed his subordinates to control the warehouse, city defense, and ferry, while leaning over the plate and carefully checking the surrounding geography.

Although the spring fu is not a big city, but it is a pass, the water in the four major water systems rolls through from the north of the city, the west of the city has the Qingjiang River flowing through, the water flows to the east, the spring seal ferry outside the city is the largest ferry port within a radius of 100 miles, only because the soil here is barren and barren, and there is no tea silk production, so it has not been able to transform such a terrain into the benefit of commercial taxes.

"However, we don't have a navy at all, and even if we control this crossing, it is impossible to stop them from crossing the river?"

Looking at He Lingbing, who was engrossed, the deputy general hesitated again and again, and finally asked questions.

"Of course we can't stop it."

Holding his arms and pinching his chin, He Lingbing said, "What we have to do is just limit their choice of landing location." ”

His gaze quickly swept over the map, and He Lingbing suddenly stretched out his hand and stabbed in the southeast direction of the Spring Fu.

"Aconitum Mountain...... This is where the battle will be! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tangzhou, the north of Jishui, the imperial army camp.

"The spring charm has actually been lost."

Looking at the military report he had just received, Ao Bixi pondered slightly, and then passed the word, inviting the generals of the battalions to come over to discuss, and for a while, he heard the report: "The four generals of Gao Fu and Yang Xue are all talking in General Ji's camp, and they will come in a while." Unconsciously the general closed the report, with a wry smile, Ao Tao on his side had already said angrily: "What is this, that kid from the Ji family is getting more and more unpopular...... but seeing Ao Bixi raise his hand slightly, he said: "Have a smooth journey, invincible, what else do you want?" There was nothing to do, only a sullen sigh.

This time, the emperor raised the world's military horses and conquered the south, but from the very beginning it was caught in endless personnel struggles, so that when the final results came out, many people's first feeling was "How is this possible?!" ”。

The imperial army is known as "simultaneous land and water, seven routes of march", blocking the road and covering the sky, but in fact, nearly half of them are just bluffs to show that "there is such an army", and the real attackers are only three armies and four roads. Emperor Mufeng is the generalissimo, commanding the Chinese army, step by step, the style is extremely stable, and there is no great achievement so far. Yingzheng personally led the vanguard as the Xia official Sima, determined to fight, and pressed forward, but faced with a muddy battlefield arranged by Yuqing in the morning, although he did not encounter defeat, but he also had no success.

The middle route army is difficult to enter, the west route army is even more unsightly, by an old prince who is a generation higher than the emperor Shaojing, the position of commander, from the Qingzhong, known as to "float down the river, the heart of the thief", but so far there has never been a piece of armor into the water, but the foot soldiers who entered the river are still considered to have done some effort, although they have not left Qingzhou, but after all, they have pulled out the camp and set up the village, and did not sit on the food and salary.

"In summary, it is our Eastern Route Army that has the most prosperous military fronts and the most ...... combat achievements" As soon as he said this, even Ao Tao wanted to smile bitterly, and it was really difficult to say what it tasted like.

From the very beginning, the Eastern Route Army was considered a "rabble", and the hope that it was pinned on was that "at least such a large group of people pushed over, Taiping Dao can't be invisible, right?" This is all because, rather than saying that the Eastern Route Army is a "one" army, it is better to say that it is a "group" of troops, which will be more appropriate.

This time, Emperor Shaojing actually made a decision that was rarely seen in history: "Quasi-ministers copy their own righteous soldiers and fight the Taoist thieves together!" ”。 This certainly caused an uproar in the world, and even caused some people to shout angrily, "This is a sign of national destruction!" But it also makes the world's families, especially those second-tier and third-tier families, shine with the brilliance that has been silent for many years.

Yanmen Yang family, Wuwu Gao family, Tianshan Xue family, Shengyue Fu family, Zhoujun Chai family, Yingfeng Chen family...... Eight Winds Battalion, Dark Cloud Capital, Xuanjia Heavenly Cavalry, Dead Truce Army, No General Divine Soldier...... One after another ancient surnames have emerged, and one after another once strong soldiers have reappeared in the world, despite the "Can you still eat?" However, there are still many people who are worried in their hearts, is it really correct to completely release the vitality of the family that has been on the throne for tens or even hundreds of years?

Such worries reached the climax after the high-profile comeback of the "Qili Ji family": Ji Chongguang, a young strong man who has been carefully cultivated by the family for many years, was shocked when he first entered the imperial capital.

And, these are based on various families and the children of each surname as the core, and they are basically like private soldiers, and almost all of them are placed in the Eastern Route Army.

Like the Western Route Army, the Eastern Route Army was led by Emperor Mu Fengxu, and the old prince surnamed the emperor led the troops, the problem is that this old prince was even more irresponsible than the cousin who commanded the Western Route Army.

It stands to reason that this is also a relatively best way: Ao Bixi is more than half a hundred years old, has fought all his life in the Great Xia Army, has been fighting for a lifetime in the Great Xia Army, and has made countless meritorious contributions, and is a serious General Anton, with him, Ao Taotao, Ao Jianwei and the two thousand dragon riders of the Ao family, plus the influence of the Ao family behind him, and the transcendent status of the emperor for four thousand years, it is not difficult to restrain the surnames, but who would have thought that a Ji Chongguang would be killed in the flat!

I don't know if it was planned in advance, or the accumulated military exploits along the way, or relying on the unique aura of the "first family", Ji Chongguang was able to subdue all the surnames and families, and faintly became a figure like the "alliance leader".

…… Just like at this moment, there is no need for Ao Bixi to sneer, and Ao Bixi's heart is like a mirror, so come to such a coincidence? It's just that the children of the surnames have to think about it first, and then come to their own "in front of the Chinese army's tent" to discuss the matter.

After a while, Guo listened to the laughter and staggered, headed by Ji Chongguang, all the generals came: the first person on the right is only in his early twenties, with a calm face and short phoenix eyes, it is the young master of the Ji family, Ji Chongguang, one of the most famous young and handsome people today, he is extremely thoughtful in etiquette, only his eyes flicker, but he shows his grandeur, Rao is Ao Tao is quite dissatisfied with him, but he can only scold in his stomach: "This kid is ...... I only hate to be happy and lazy, and Xiao Ba is a woman again! ”

Ji Chongguang's side of the four generals, all over 30 years old, among which the Yang family "Yang Jizhao" is the longest, he is nearly fifty years old, he was in the martial arts when he was a teenager, although he did not come out, but the training of the regiment for more than 20 years - including the magistrates, everyone knows that this "regiment brave" is the Yang family's private soldiers, and it is now the so-called "recruiting the people to become brave" of the Eight Winds Battalion, but no one has said that it has seen many scenes, and the Yuntai soldiers and horses, and the Nanlai Xiang army have seen real swords and guns. He relied on his qualifications and went all the way south, and played against Ao Bixi the most, but somehow, he admired that Ji Chongguang very much.

Ao Bixi didn't bother to ask them about their late arrival, so he just turned a blind eye, briefly explained the general situation, and pointed to the large map hanging in the tent and said: "The thief army has no water army, so dangerous to fly to seize the ferry, forgive it is not for the ...... of fighting in the water" Before he finished speaking, he heard Yang Jizhao say roughly: "If they dare to fight on the water, it is the best, although we are the northern generals, we may not lose on the water!" ”

I heard a thirty-six-seven-year-old man beside him laugh and said: "That's natural, the thieves are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, and they are plotting to sneak attack or succeed, but how can they fight in a dignified formation?" ”

This is Xue Zhongwei, who is known as the "No. 1 swordsmanship" in the long branch of the "Tianshan Xue Family", and he is also the first person in the Xue family to practice the "Overlord Jue" to the end of the three generations. Although he is in the army, he is only wearing a green coat, like a Confucian non-Confucian, like a Taoist non-Taoist, the sword intent is overflowing between talking and laughing, and it is the kind of temperament that makes people want to smash a few dishes and chopsticks on their faces as soon as they see it, Ao Bixi has long known it all the way here, only nodded slightly, and looked at Gao Changning next to him and said: "What does General Gao think?" But he didn't answer Xue Zhongwei's words at all.

Gao Changning is the leader of the people in the army of the "Wu Wu Worry Gao Family", he is also dressed as a scribe, but he is significantly modest. ”

Ao Bixi knew that he must be like this, so he smiled and arched his hand: "It's just a Qiu Ba who has fought an old battle, and there is a little experience on it, so I have to throw a few bricks first......" As he spoke, he pointed to the map and said with his hand, and the situation was already divided into two parts.

"The other army occupies the ferry, but it is to force our army to cross the river in another place, the two rivers exchange here, the three mountains are horizontal, if you give up the spring to close the ferry, then there is an autumn cold ferry to accommodate the troops, and the Wushan Beach is slow and easy to climb......"

After a brief analysis, Ao Bixi came to a conclusion and pointed to another ferry port northwest of Chunfu City.

"If an army swims upstream, lands from Qiulengdu, and attacks Chunjun, the thieves will be chaotic, and our army will take advantage of the situation to cover the ferry and storm the Chunfeng ferry, then the war can be determined."

"But, General Ao."

With a humble attitude but a different opinion, Ji Chongguang pointed to the map and thought that Wushan Beach seemed to be a better choice.

"Divide the troops before the battle, or there will be a loss, not to mention that if you take the autumn crossing, you will have to wade into the Qingjiang River again after Yueji, why not go to Wushan with the whole army...... The beach there is dozens of miles long, and the current is gentle, even if the thief army is intentional, it is difficult to blockade it. ”

"Of course, Wushan Beach is better than Qiu Lengdu, but."

Comparing the path, Ao Bixi explained that there are at least five lines to choose from in the direction of Qiu Lengdu, and if you climb Wushan Beach, you must pass through Wutou Mountain, which is likely to be the decisive place chosen by the other party.

"Crossing the water to fight thieves, if the battle is unfavorable and the sharp spirit is frustrated, the most difficult thing to clean up is to ......"

"Is that so?"

I wanted to explain more, but I was choked by Ji Chongguang's smiling words, and Ao Bixi almost coughed out.

"Then if we win the battle, we will directly defeat the thief army at the foot of Aconitum Mountain, won't there be no problem?"

"General Ji Xiao."

Ao Tao on the side couldn't look past it, and said angrily: "The soldiers are in danger, don't play with children!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a sneer, it was the leader of the Sheng Yue Fu family faction in the army, "Fu Wusi", this person was only in his early thirties, described as thin, eyebrows and eyes, seemed to have three points of yin wind when walking, and spoke the most yin and yang, and he had to bring out a few percent of ridicule if he had nothing to do.

He sneered here, Ao Bixi was still calm, Ao Gluttony and Ao Jian all sank their faces, and Ji Chongguang's face was quite uncertain, but he heard Fu Wusi snort: "Rank, why worry?" Maybe there will be good news when you get up tomorrow morning, and the big leader of the thief army is dead in the army, and the thieves have broken up! ”

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone was moved, and Ao Bi said with a straight face: "General Fu, don't joke in the army!" Fu Wusi still just smiled and said, "What are you joking?" What did I say? ”

Suddenly, he said: "General Ao, it's really not a secret, my uncle came to visit the army a few days ago, and talked about the route of the march in the middle, and he also said that this spring charm is where the throat is, so he selected thirty people from my 'dead rest army' to come out, and the starry night is the same, first check the spring charm, if you count the time, you should enter the city the day before yesterday." ”

"Uncle Ling?" Ao Bixi raised his eyebrows, and he didn't bother to worry about "leaking military planes" with him, he was thinking that there was a master in the Fu family who had recently come to the army, but he heard Ji Chongguang's "ah" and said: "Could it be that the criminal department is under investigation...... Fu Twenty-seven, Master Fu?! ”
