The official road leading to Suiyang outside Ningling City has long been potholed and in disrepair because of the long-term war. Kong Sheng stood in front of the horse, raised his hand and pointed to the two forks in the road in front of him and said lightly: "Second brother, follow the road on the left for dozens of miles to the east, and it will be Suiyang City." But I have an agreement with my Hu Cheng in advance to meet in Yucheng, so I can't go to Suiyang with you for the time being. You and my brother might as well break up temporarily and get together in Suiyang in the future. ”

Lei Tingjin was a little surprised, he had just lost his mother and was in deep pain, and he was crying hoarsely, so his voice was very hoarse and low: "Third brother, you are the commander of Songcheng County, and the governance office is in Suiyang, what are you going to do if you don't go to Suiyang to Yucheng?" As far as I know, the situation in Nayu City is not much stronger than Ningling, and most of it is also deserted. ”

Kong Sheng smiled and arched his hand: "Second brother, I have a servant in Yucheng, we have an agreement, I can't break the contract." Don't worry, after I join Hu Cong, I will go to Suiyang immediately. ”

Lei Ting let out a long breath, since Kong Sheng said so, he couldn't be reluctant anymore, so he hugged his fists and said: "Okay, since that's the case, eldest brother and third brother, you and my brother will be separated for the time being, and we will reunite in Suiyang in the future!" I'm in Suiyang, waiting! ”

After saying that, Lei Tingjin didn't talk nonsense, and galloped to the lane on the left.

Mu Changfeng waved his hand to Lei Tingjin, and then turned his head to look at Kong Sheng with some suspicion, he didn't understand why Kong Sheng insisted on going to Yucheng first instead of going to Suiyang directly. Although there was an agreement with Wuxian Wujie and Li Hu and Li Biao's more than 100 military men, after arriving in Suiyang, send someone to spread the news and let Wuxian and the two bring people over to meet, why do you need to go this trip in person?

He didn't know that Kong Sheng had his own plans.

Although the three of them are named sworn brothers. But Mu Changfeng understood that Kong Sheng was arbitrary. His thoughts are not for him to speculate. Anyway, he believed Kong Sheng. Everything is based on Kong Sheng, as long as Kong Sheng does not betray his brother's righteousness, why should he bother himself?

Kong Sheng didn't explain anything to Mu Changfeng and Nie Chuchen. He took the lead in beating the horse and galloping, Nie Chuchen Ge Gejiao smiled and chased after the horse, Mu Changfeng knew that the relationship between the two was complicated and embarrassing, so he deliberately fell behind and let the two gallop side by side.

In fact, in Mu Changfeng's opinion, this matter was as simple as drinking water and sleeping, and he didn't think much of Kong Sheng's entanglement. Nie Chuchen's archery skills are outstanding. is as beautiful as a flower, since she took the initiative to send it to the door, what are you hesitating about as a manly husband? Accept it! In these days, it is common for a man of Kong Sheng's status to have three wives and four concubines, don't you want to put this kind of beautiful family like a flower, isn't it stupid?

In Mu Changfeng's opinion, don't look at Nie Chuchen's temperament like fire, like an untamable horse, but as long as she is on her, everything will be done, and she will be obedient if she sleeps twice. Sleeping with a woman can also sleep a strong martial arts right-hand man. Where do you find such a great thing?

Kong Sheng's logic to Mu Changfeng could only be reciprocated with a wry smile and speechless.

Where is Nie Chuchen's judgment so simple as Mu Changfeng, she is definitely a difficult woman to control. Beauty is beauty, but once you don't control it well, you will get burned and embarrassed.

Ningling and Yucheng are the counties under the jurisdiction of Suiyang, from Ningling to Suiyang Fucheng and to Yucheng County, the distance is equal, the same distance of more than 60 miles, with the speed of Kong Sheng and others in half a day.

At dusk, Kong Sheng and the three arrived outside Yucheng. Sure enough, just as Lei Tingjin said, the county seat of Yucheng has long been deserted, full of dilapidated city walls and ruined walls, around the county seat, there is no figure, only whistling wind and desolate birdsong.

There are traces of fire in the city, Kong Sheng and Nie Chuchen walked around the ruins of the county seat, and the desolation and gloom that touched the eyes made Kong Sheng feel a lot of emotion.

Standing on this ruin, he seemed to see the scene of the rebels attacking the city, and the defenders and the city lived and died together, fighting to the last soldier, and finally all of them were martyred. After the murderous rebels entered the city, they plundered the whole city, and after slaughtering all the people, they burned the entire city to ashes.

Nie Chuchen didn't have a deep or intuitive impression of this war, but the battle between the valley and the remnants of Yang Chaozong, the ruins of the two cities of Ningling and the Yucheng in front of her when she passed by, and the tragic scene of dead bones on the ten rooms and nine empty roads in the villages along the way, she was embarrassed.

She is a very emotional woman who will not hide her feelings in her heart, she can't help but stomp her feet and say angrily: "Although I think that there are few good things in the official mansion, these rebels are even more hateful and hateful!" It's just a matter of conquering cities and plundering property, so why do you want to kill people and set fires everywhere? ”

Kong Sheng glanced at her and said with a slight smile: "So, they are rebels, not bandits." ”

Nie Chuchen's eyes widened: "What's wrong with the bandit?" The thieves do the right thing for heaven and never hurt innocent people! Don't keep talking about the length of the rebels, don't think that the old lady doesn't know, most of these rebels in Henan Province have surrendered to the past! ”

Kong Sheng was choked for a moment, and he couldn't answer for a while, because what Nie Chuchen said was the truth. The so-called rebel rebels in Henan Province are only a few descendants of An Lushan, and most of them are rebellious Tang troops.

The reason why the rebels attacked the city and set fire everywhere was that Kong Sheng had an indescribable judgment in his heart, and he guessed that the main purpose of the rebels to carry out the massacre was to save grain and grass. Since the war in Henan, agriculture has been almost completely abolished, and the limited supply of grain and grass to the army is very reluctant.

"Let's go, Senior Sister Nie." Kong Sheng turned his horse's head, passed through the black and deformed city gate, and galloped out of the city. Nie Chuchen's eyes flashed with a trace of unbearability, just now her gaze was resting on the two white bones holding each other, one large and one small, she guessed that it was a mother and daughter, hugging each other in the fire and being burned to death.

On the wilderness outside the city, the Wuxian Wujie brothers, Li Hu and Li Biao took the lead, and behind the four of them were more than 100 cavalry of the Guardian Army, which were neatly arrayed and murderous. This is the henchman of Li Xuan, the lord of Fengyang County, although she nominally gifted herself as a protector, but these people cannot completely surrender to Kong Sheng for the time being, but it is just that the military life is difficult to follow, Kong Sheng knows this.

Kong Sheng galloped over, crossed Fang Tian's halberd on his horse, and greeted everyone with his fists in a loud voice: "Brothers, Peng Cheng is farewell, are you okay?" ”

Led by Li Biao and Li Hu, more than 100 fierce Mo knife cavalry raised Mo knives on their horses and made a deafening sound: "I've seen Kong County's order!" ”

All the military men looked eagerly at Kong Sheng and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and the crotch chasing wind BMW, although these people could not really be transformed into Kong Sheng's descendant power for the time being, but they had seen Kong Sheng's invincibility on the school field outside Pengcheng, and they were happy and convinced to follow Kong Sheng to Suiyang to resist the enemy.

In the eyes of the two lieutenants, Li Biao and Li Hu, the county lord of Fengyang, who is his master, probably has a deep and unusual affection for this young county commander who can be called a hero in the world, otherwise how could she not hesitate to risk the anger of King Yu and even the suspicion of violating the rules of the imperial court, and let the more than 100 guards around her act as Kong Sheng's protectors?

Fortunately, there is a protective cloak of going to the country to resist the enemy, and there will be no problem.

Kong Sheng's expression was solemn, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand danced vividly: "The national disaster is at the head, the rebels are entrenched in Henan, most of the cities have fallen into the hands of thieves, and now there is only a lonely city left in Suiyang in Henan, your brothers are not afraid of life and death and follow me to Suiyang, Kong is here to thank you for your high righteousness!" ”

Kong Sheng saluted with a halberd on his horse and bowed.

"Fight to the death with the rebels, I am willing to listen to the orders of Kong County, and go to the soup to fight the fire!"

More than 100 Mo knife cavalry in front of him burst into thunderous cheers, the Mo knife in his hand was like a forest, reflecting the cold light of Sen Sen in the sun, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth.

In this case, he can only rely on the blood-boiling words of national disaster and righteousness to boost morale and unite people's hearts.

His expression was solemn, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was also raised high, and he said in a loud voice: "How can you say that you have no clothes?" with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”

"How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son!"

"Master Wang Yuxing, repair my spear!"

"Enmity with the Son!!!"

Under the leadership of Li Biao and Li Hu, more than 100 fierce Mo sword soldiers followed the chant word by word and roared, turning this ancient style poem into a battle slogan, and every time they shouted, the Mo knife in their hands would be raised high at the same time and collided with each other, emitting an iron-blooded rhythm that was enough to make people's blood boil.

At this time, even if this group of enthusiastic soldiers was immediately ordered to go into battle to kill the enemy and die generously, it is estimated that no one will back down. In a way, this is actually an art of leaders and superiors, and Kong Sheng naturally has such qualities.

Mu Changfeng watched from the sidelines and nodded secretly. For his third brother, he admired it to the bone. Both civil and military are actually nothing, there are more people in both civil and military affairs these years, but it is really rare in the world to be able to use various means like Kong Sheng, and various methods to unite people's hearts.

Although Nie Chuchen is as hot as fire and has a reckless background, he is also quite scheming. She saw that Kong Sheng had only relied on a few words of understatement to resolve the fatigue of these escorts' long-distance raids and a certain military instability in the face of the crisis in Henan, and said secretly in her heart: This little thief is really a natural genius, he is definitely not as good as many people in terms of leading the army to fight and arranging troops, but if it is said that controlling people's hearts and minds is left and right, I am afraid that few people will be his opponents.

Kong Sheng looked at the more than 100 Mo sword cavalry who were waiting for the emotional battle, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious. He attaches great importance to these more than 100 people, this will be his capital to start a family and settle down in Suiyang, with the assistance of these more than 100 people, with the assistance of Mu Changfeng, Nie Chuchen and Lei Tingjin, he can do a lot of things.

Since entering Henan Province, especially after a battle and collision with the remnants of the rebel Yang Dynasty's sect, Kong Sheng has secretly adjusted his plan and made corresponding fine-tuning for the future plan along the way, checking and listening to the news of all parties on the spot.

This was the key factor for him to come to Yucheng first and not to Suiyang. (To be continued.) )
