Bai Zheng led his troops back to Shifeng City, and everyone on the hill cheered loudly when they saw the enemy retreating. Wei Zeng did not hesitate, and after the retreat of the iron-blooded army, he led people back to the stockade and transferred the people in the stockade to the north of Yushan.

Originally, the Iron Blood Army had already surrounded the stockade. However, as soon as Gu Cha broke through the encirclement of the Iron Blood Army and reached the Mobei Grassland, Wei Zeng successively raided several squads of the Iron Blood Army. The Predator's attention was drawn to the two of them, so the stockade was not attacked for a while.

Wei Zeng has already understood that he can't fight with the Iron Blood Army no matter what. For the safety of these soldiers and their families, Wei Zeng could only choose to retreat. As long as the Predators don't know where these people are, their safety is assured. No matter how strong the stockade is, in the face of a strong enemy, it will eventually be conquered one day; Without the enemy, without war, there is no chance of peace.

Gu Chayi circled around Shifeng City, and when he learned that Wei Zeng had escaped, he didn't stop, and immediately took three thousand cavalry and ran to the vast grassland of Mobei, so that Bai Zheng couldn't catch up.

When the threat of Shifeng City was eliminated and Bai Zheng led people to re-enter Yushan, all traces of Wei Zeng disappeared. With a fire, the empty stockade turned into ruins, and the southern foot of Yushan was completely free of all kinds of fighting, and everything seemed quieter.

"General Bai don't have to be annoyed, we didn't gain nothing from this battle. We have recaptured the lost land of Yanbei from the hands of the Yaodong people, and the traitors of Gu Chayi have also been expelled to the north of Yushan. Now that Shifeng City is a hundred miles away, there is no trace of any enemy, and when General Bai attacks outward in the future, there will be no worries. Asked to see that Bai Zheng was a little unwilling, so he spoke out to persuade him.

"The threat around Stone Wind City has been cleared, and it is naturally worth rejoicing. But this time, he was only close to capturing Wei Zeng, but in the end, he still let him run, which is really a pity. Bai Zheng replied.

"Wei Zeng is very cunning, and it is not easy to catch him. But now he has no land, and he can't make any big waves. If you want to kill him in the future, there are still many opportunities, and General Bai doesn't have to rush for a while. The great cause of the young master is what we should be worried about now. This is a secret letter from Heluo City, General Bai, please take a look. As he asked, he handed over the secret letter sent by Xian Gu to Bai Zheng's hands.

Lieutenant General Ken Gu read through the secret letter, and his face was full of excitement at the end of the reading, where is the slightest bit of the loss just now.

"The young master plans to take advantage of the civil strife in Yaodong to send troops to Xu Huai, and order me to be the main general, lead the three armies and preside over the entire war, which is great." Bai Zheng said.

"General Bai is a famous general of Anyun, and this expedition against Xu Huai naturally requires General Bai to take command. However, General Bai is not too young, and the young master is also very worried about your physical condition, and specially asked me to take good care of the general. If the general is unwell, please tell me as soon as possible, and the young master will also understand the general. He asked.

"The Xianshuai was very kind to me back then, but now the young master has nothing to say to me. Even if I fight this old bone, I will bring victory to the young master. I don't have any problems with my body now, do you see me and Wei Zeng in the mountains these days, like a person who is a little sick? Bai Zheng got up and patted his chest and said.

"General Bai is old and strong, and I don't think there is any problem. I will write back to the young master, saying that the commander of the three armies, General Bai, has already responded. General Wu has also returned from the northern attack on the Turks, and he will soon be able to join General Bai, and when the two generals work together, the Yaodong people will definitely be no problem. He replied with a smile.

"Will General Wu also come? Haha, this is really good, back then we fought side by side, and the traitors in Jiangnan were all terrified. Now that we can fight side by side, let the Yaodong people cry wolf. Bai Zheng said with a laugh.

Asked and talked to Bai Zheng for a few more words, and was infected by Bai Zheng's emotions, and his mood was also very good, but he suddenly remembered some words from Heluo City, so he wanted to take advantage of Bai Zheng's mood to inquire.

"In the past few years, the young master has taken many measures to vigorously restore An Yun, and the effect has been remarkable in a few years. I've heard that these measures were all suggested by a person named Lan Qi, so what kind of person is this Lan Qi? General Bai came from Heluo City, so he must know something. He asked.

"Lan Qi was invited by the young master from a small town, and although his status is not noble, he seems to be talented. The young master can be assisted by more virtuous people, which is also the blessing of the young master. And this Lan Qi is still a duty, he doesn't care about this or that, in addition to going in and out of the public mansion on weekdays, he reads and writes at home, and he never participates in those messy things. Bai Zheng replied.

"Then it seems that this Lan Qi still knows how to behave. However, I have heard that he once suggested that the young lord should leave the old ministers and take power alone, is this true? He asked.

"There is such a thing, and because of this, many people have written to impeach him. But I'll be honest with you, Lan Qi is actually right. Many old ministers don't know how to behave, and they don't take the young master in their eyes because they have followed the commander for many years, and I have scolded them a few times, if it weren't for my high status, I'm afraid they would have impeached me together. Bai Zheng said.

"A lot of things in the past are rotten, and it's time to change them. However, General Bai thinks that it is feasible to revoke those extremely powerful official positions and form a cabinet that obeys the orders of the young lord as Lan Qi said? He asked.

"I will only fight with soldiers, and Mr. Q should know these things better than I do! But no matter what the young master does, I will support him. Bai Zheng said.

After listening to Bai Zheng's words, he fell into a deep silence, and only pondered on the side: "I am in Shifeng City, and I have never been involved in An Yun's affairs, and this restructuring will not affect me." General Bai and General Wu are both veterans in the army and people who are also the commanders of the army, but the two of them have never been enthusiastic about political affairs, and they have always supported the young master, and they will not arouse the suspicion of the young master. As for the others, well, what does the other people have to do with me! ”

"What is Mr. Ask about? You are so quiet, I can't hear you. Bai Zheng's eyes rolled when he asked, and his expression was uncertain, thinking that something was wrong, so he asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that General Bai is going on the expedition, I'll think about it carefully and see if there are any omissions. Now it seems that everything is fine. Asked, Zhanyan replied with a smile.

The two talked a few more words, and then returned to the study under the pretext of an excuse, put the two letters on the table, and thought about how to reply to the Xian Yuan.

The first letter was read to Bai Zheng, and it was about how to use troops abroad; The second letter asked that it was not shown to anyone, and it was about the restructuring of Anyun.

"General Bai can still fight, and it is imperative for Anyun to reform the system, so let the young master play well. However, the person named Lan Qi, I am still a little worried, but as long as the young master is careful, there will be no major problems. After asking and thinking about it, he returned to Shuxian Valley, saying that Bai Zheng was very reliable, and the timing of Anyun's restructuring was also good.

With a messenger bringing the reply to the questioning to Heluo City, a war against the Yaodong people was going on on the surface, and a war against the powerful ministers within Anyun was also started in secret. Will Ken Gu be able to achieve the final victory? It is not yet known. However, with the shift in the direction of the Iron Army's attack, Anyun's northern border finally quieted down again.

A few months later, when the last green leaves of autumn turned yellow, Wei Zeng's figure appeared on the quiet Mobei grassland.

After leading everyone to flee to the northern part of Yushan that day, Wei Zeng has been trying to keep everyone alive for several months. After a few fierce battles with the bandits entrenched in the northern part of Yushan, he settled down on a flat ground in the mountains.

Although this mountain flat land is not large, but fortunately, there are small streams flowing in it, the soil is relatively loose, and it is just right for cultivation, and it is surrounded by mountains, and there are many steep terrain that can be used as a defense support, even in the face of enemy attacks, it can be well defended.

In the past few months, Wei Zeng has not slackened for a moment, in addition to organizing the affairs of the camp, he has also taken many risks to take people to Mobei to buy cattle and sheep, and to Guanbei to buy daily necessities, so as to provide convenience for the life of the soldiers.

Now that a few months have passed, everything has been arranged, and as long as the soldiers manage themselves well in the future, self-sufficiency will not be any problem in the future. Letting go of one concern in his heart, Wei Zeng finally had the opportunity to pick up another concern.

"Yanbei is a place of enemies, there are soldiers of the Iron Blood Army everywhere, and we may encounter danger in the past. What's more, you're just a person, and you can't do anything when you get there, so I think we'd better not go. Wendy said.

"I also know I can't do anything about it right now, but I still want to go back and see. I have seen a lot of tragic scenes in this troubled world, and I can guess a thing or two about what Yanbei looks like now, but I just can't put my mind at ease and want to go over and take a look. Wei Zeng said.

"You're still like this, you already know the result, why do you have to move forward without hesitation? Wouldn't it be great if we just went back to Yishan and continued to create our paradise? Watching the people in your hometown suffer, but you can't do anything about it, aren't you looking for your own guilt? Wendy grumbled.

"There are some things that you can't escape, rather than worrying about them and enduring long-term torture. It's better to face everything head-on and endure the pain for a while. I am originally from Yanbei, and I should go back to see my hometown. Even though there is a limit to what I can do right now, I still have something to do. If you don't want to go, take Xinyu back to Yishan first. Even if it's just me, I can still walk on a road. Wei Zeng seemed to struggle in his heart, but in the end, it was all replaced by a firmness.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go with you, we came out together, so naturally we should go back together. Either way, you don't want to leave me alone. If you get lost, I don't want to go around and find it again. Wendy said.

"Wendi, you're laughing again, how could a person as big as me get lost? But with you, this journey is not lonely. Wei Zeng said.

"You have always been so stubborn, I can't persuade you no matter how much I persuade you, so I can only choose to accompany you to face everything. Don't talk about this, Xinyu went there, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye? Wen Di shook his head and said, looking up to find that Liu Xinyu's trace was completely gone.

"She ran to the front while we were talking. However, there are many dangers along the way, and it is not safe for her to run too far alone. Let's catch up and call her back. Wei Zeng said.

Both of them were worried that Liu Xinyu would be in danger, so they stopped talking and accelerated and galloped forward. Not long after walking, the sound of a fight came from the front. Wei Zeng and Wen Di hurriedly rushed over, only to see the Iron Blood Army fighting with a group of hungry people.

I saw that in the middle of the battle, a man in yellow ran in front of the person, raised his arms and shouted:

"I have a heavenly armor to protect me, and I am invulnerable. Listen to my commands, and you will be protected by my heavenly armor. Rush them all. ”

When the others heard the words of the man in yellow, they slapped them twice on the chest, and then shouted "Heavenly armor protection, invulnerability"

He was not afraid of death and rushed towards the army formation of the Iron Army.

In the midst of the melee, the Predators are about to win. But after listening to the words of the man in yellow, all the hungry people rushed towards the Iron Blood Army without hesitation, and there was no fear in their faces, as if as long as they moved forward bravely, they would not be harmed at all.

The iron-blooded army saw that the hungry people rushed over without fear of death, and the crossbowmen fired a few shots, and the hungry people who rushed forward were shot down. It was only in the midst of the scuffle that the three men in yellow rushed towards the leading officer of the Iron Blood Army.

The leading officer immediately found the three yellow-clothed men, but he didn't pay much attention to them, thinking that these people were just the same characters as the hungry people, and shouted "Demon Dao is dead" and took a few infantrymen and stepped forward to kill these three people.

It's just that these three yellow-clothed men are very strong in martial arts, and they killed the officers of the Iron Blood Army in just one round.

When the hungry people saw the officers of the Iron and Blood Army being killed, their morale was greatly boosted for a while, and they shouted, "Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Will Show Might!" "Rush to the remaining Predator soldiers. Morale was robbed, and the Predator was quickly defeated.

Wei Zeng searched carefully on the side, and found that Xinyu was not among them, and he was also relieved in his heart, but he recognized an old acquaintance in the crowd.

"Wan Tianquan, after so many years, you still haven't given up? With your help, these people can achieve a temporary victory, but after the arrival of the large army of the Predators, it will only be a dead end. After the battle, Wei Zeng stepped forward and said.

"It's you! I didn't go to you for revenge, but you came to the door. Wei Zeng took it. Wan Tianquan was a little surprised when he saw Wei Zeng at first, but he immediately became angry and was about to kill Wei Zeng. (To be continued.) )
