Yan Empire, outside Suncheon City, at the foot of the mountain.

The leaves on the mountain had already fallen when the cold winter first came, and at this moment I could only see the bare trees on the mountain, and I could not see a little emerald green color.

In the twilight of the sky, there is a faint sense of desolation and decline.

Just like this country, as far as the eye can see, it is wilderness.

Emperor Murong Dan rode on a horse, and finally looked back at the royal palace built by the emperors for decades in Shuntian City.

When it was time to leave here, Murong Dan's eyes narrowed slightly, he took a deep breath, and clenched his fists.

The hope of Yan is in the south, he wants to step on the bloody country, push the world, and never look back!

Thinking of this, he turned his head, waved his hands forward, and galloped forward.

Behind him, secretly gathered for a long time, a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life, all of them set off with whips and horses.

Looking down from a high place, you can see that above the vast earth, the rushing crowd is like black ants, surging southward, covering the earth, and you can't see the beginning and the end, as if endless.

Like a long dragon, it rushed out from the open city gate and headed for Zhongliang, an important southern town not far away.

All the soldiers have the ambition to fight to the death, for the emperor, for the country, for their own families, forward!

Murong Dan took the lead and led the army forward, the reins trembled, the war horse under his crotch neighed, and the wind rushed from the south, with an inexplicable killing intent that filled his chest!

He couldn't help but draw his sword and raise it high, shouting: "Kill!" ”

The soldiers behind him responded in unison!

For a time, the sound shook the world, as if the earth and mountains were shaken.

In the army, Prime Minister Murong Feng couldn't help the long journey on horseback because of his weak body, so he could only sit in the carriage, behind the emperor, and follow the army south, but despite this, the road was far away and bumpy and difficult to walk, and the vehicle kept shaking, which still made him suffer, so he could only pull the curtain from time to time and look out the window to try to relieve the discomfort on his body.

Since then, he has moved farther and farther away from the emperor, gradually falling behind to the middle of the army.

The curtain was opened, watching the army move forward, Murong Feng felt a little unreal in a trance, from the assembly to the expedition, this qiē was all done by the high-spirited young man in front, even if he was the prime minister of a country, before that, he had only heard a little bit of news.

He is alone, and he wants to manipulate the world!

Murong Feng took a deep breath, this time he went south, and the emperor ordered the ministers of the court to go south in batches, and meet in Zhongliang City, and the violators were dealt with by military law.

Pouring the country south, leaving no way back, it seems that the emperor is determined to win!

However, in case the Great Army is defeated and the muscles and bones are broken, will Yan Guo still have a chance to survive?

Murong Feng shook his head, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, looked up at the window, and saw the endless soldiers marching forward with high morale.

Just like the last time the emperor led the army to the battle, he was so high-spirited.

Last time, it was to loot grain to survive, and this time, it was for the southern country to dominate the world!

But soldiers, what are they thinking at the moment?

Once they encounter resistance, will they fight as hard as they do now?

He sighed secretly, and as he withdrew his gaze, he suddenly noticed the eyes of a soldier looking at the emperor in front of him, full of awe.

It's like looking at a god who leads them to a prosperous life, gets rid of the "abandoned son of God", and lives a life without worrying about food and clothing!

Murong Feng took a breath lightly and withdrew his gaze.

The army rushed forward like a tide, driving a qiē, unstoppable!

Not far ahead, there is the military town of Yan Kingdom, Zhongliang City! ——

Outside the Dingbian City, Wanyan Shuo's army is in the army.

The 150,000-strong army lined up in front of the city, standing in the wind under the gaze of the people in the city.

Looking forward, the sword froze, like a stone statue, and did not move.

In front of the army, Wan Yanshuo was dressed in bright armor, looked at the south solemnly, looked at all the soldiers standing in front of him, and the hand holding the reins trembled slightly because of excitement.

He took a deep breath and was about to speak, when a horse galloped towards him outside the crowd.

Wan Yanshuo frowned slightly, looked intently, and saw that the person who came was the "wizard" of the imperial marching army-Murong He.

The horse was in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, Murong He came to the front of the army, finished Yan Shuo, and then turned over and dismounted, and saluted Yan Shuo:

"Old minister Murong He has seen General Wanyan!"

When the soldiers saw Murong He coming, their bodies were shocked, and their faces showed anticipation and nervousness.

Seeing this, Wan Yan Shuo's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, helped Murong He up in front of the army, and said, "Mr. Murong has come from a long journey, and he is tired from the journey, so he doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

Murong He answered, stood up, and thanked Wan Yan Shuo:

"The old minister thanked the general!"

Wan Yan Shuo nodded, facing the 150,000 army, he asked Murong He in a loud voice: "Mr. Murong divides the hexagram in the quiet place of the 'Dragon Altar' outside Dingbian City, I don't know what the hexagram is?" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they all looked up in unison.

Murong He said in a respectful voice: "Congratulations to the general, it is the hexagram of Shangji." ”

After hearing this, Yan Shuo nodded, his eyes flashed, and he paused and said: "The weather is getting colder, the wind and sand are bigger, dare to ask Mr. Murong, if you go north, I don't know if there will be heavy rain to wash the yellow sand?" ”

Murong He did not hesitate after hearing this, and immediately gave up his hand and said:

"General Qiyu, the old minister has been divining for many days in the 'Dragon Altar', and finally got a hexagram, which shows on the hexagram that in a few days, there will be the last heavy rain in this winter in the territory of Yan Kingdom, clarify the vision, and help me march," Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the 150,000 army, raised his voice, and said: "This is God bless the Han, in the cold winter rain to drive the sand, there is God's help, we dare not to work together, go north, step on the bloody rivers and mountains, and smash the leaves, so as to live up to the grace of heaven!" ”

After hearing this, the soldiers raised their swords together and shouted: "Pound the leaves and live up to the grace of heaven!" ”

After Yan Shuo's eyes were fixed, after the soldiers put down their weapons and fell silent, they nodded, turned over and got on their horses, and then raised their swords and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The soldiers behind him shouted in unison!

The sound of killing shook the sky, and let everyone fall asleep from now on.

Dream of dominating the world, and never want to wake up again.

The 150,000 army of the Patriotic Army, not long after leaving Dingbian, was divided into two routes, one was commanded by Wan Yan Shuo, killing Zhongliang, and the other was led by Liang Jian, and went straight to Yaonan.

And in the Northern Yan Kingdom, an army of 300,000 also set out from Suncheon and marched south.

In the wind and sand, I don't know if the mood of the soldiers on both sides of the road is different? ——

After a few days of galloping.

In the middle of the road, inside the barracks of the Wanyan Shuo army.

Wan Yanshuo stood in front of the camp tent and looked up at the sky outside the camp, only to see that although there was yellow sand in the sky, it was obviously much smaller than before.

It's just that the cold wind is better than before, I don't know when it started, and when I woke up in the morning, the coolness had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, which was unbearable.

He wrapped himself up, and a hint of uneasiness suddenly flashed in his heart, and a thought came to him.

The use of soldiers in the cold winter is a taboo for soldiers.

What is Liu Xiu's intention in letting the army choose to go north to break the enemy in the cold winter?

Will this Northern Expedition have a big victory as the hexagram says?

Thinking of this, he shook his head suddenly, as if to shake the chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and only after a while did he take a deep breath, shake his head, and clench his fists.

Even if the front is full of thorns, I will step on it into a flat land, become famous all over the world, leave it in the annals of history forever, be admired by all people, and be praised by future generations!

The wind and sand are getting smaller and smaller.

Wan Yan Shuo slowly let go of his fist, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, his eyes flashed, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Zhang Kui striding over.

As soon as he saw Yan Shuo, Zhang Kui bowed his hand and said, "I've seen my lord!" ”

Wan Yan Shuo nodded, turned around again, looked at the outside of the camp, and smiled at Zhang Kui: "You said that the national fortune of Yan Guo can survive until the wind and sand stop, and when spring begins next year?" ”

Zhang Kui smiled slightly and replied: "As long as our army works together under the leadership of the Lord, the Yan Kingdom will definitely perish before the end of the cold winter." ”

After hearing this, Yan Shuo smiled, but did not continue to take Zhang Kui's words, but changed his words and asked, "What did you come to me this time?" ”

Zhang Kui smiled, walked to Wan Yanshuo's side, and arched his hand: "The army has been traveling north for a few days, although the speed of our army has not slowed down, but after all, we are not very familiar with the terrain, once the future encounters an ambush, our army will be caught off guard, and I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses, so my subordinates want to ask for my lord's life, in addition to the people and horses of this village, and then allocate thousands of soldiers and horses from the army, gather the number of 10,000 people, and be led by my subordinates to be the pioneer!" ”

After speaking, he bowed his head and saluted, and said loudly: "My subordinates have traveled back and forth between Dingbian and Zhongliang many times, and they are quite familiar with the terrain, and they will definitely complete their mission and live up to the trust of adults, please give me your permission!" ”

Wan Yan Shuo glanced at him, and after pondering for a while, he said: "I have already had a pioneer candidate, but because he is not familiar with the terrain, he has not let him order the troops for a long time, since you are familiar with the terrain, then you should be the vanguard, but," Speaking of this, he paused, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Kui knew what Wan Yan Shuo was worried about, and before Wan Yan Shuo could speak, he arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, although my subordinates have not led the troops to the battle, but the village army, under the guidance of the patriarch Tuoba Hong for decades, is already comparable to the regular army of Yan State, even if the two armies meet, the subordinates are able to protect the army and retreat!" Speaking of this, his heart suddenly froze, but his face did not change color, and he continued with a smile:

"Because of the Yan soldiers' attack on the village, the villagers have a deep hatred for the Yan country, and now the villagers' families are in Dingbian City, although the subordinates are alone, but they are more important than their lives in the matter of fame, and now they have the opportunity to reach the peak, and their subordinates will never let it slip away in their hands and ruin their good future, I hope you can understand."

After hearing this, Yan Shuo nodded and said with a smile: "Since you said it so clearly, I won't be verbose, I don't doubt it, I hope you don't let me down." ”

Zhang Kui didn't seem to expect Yan Shuo to agree so quickly, and after being slightly stunned, he took a breath and replied: "My subordinates will definitely not let the adults down!" ”

Wan Yan Shuo nodded and said, "That's good," and then relaxed his face and said slowly: "Patriarch Tuoba Hong strongly recommended you to join our army and be a general, in fact, I refused at first, and many people in the army were not convinced, so"

Before the words fell, I saw Zhang Kui give a military salute, and responded loudly: "My subordinates understand!" ”

Wan Yanshuo smiled slightly and nodded. R1058
