Since the defeat of the Iron Army, a large area of eastern Anyun has fallen into Wei Zeng's hands. Zhang Ling knew that his strength was not strong enough, and he had been secretly developing for several years, and he didn't have any intention of getting involved in the eastern part of Anyun.

But since defeating Du Feng and taking the southern part of Anyun into his hands, Zhang Ling's self-confidence began to swell, constantly creating friction in the eastern part of Anyun, testing Wei Zeng's reaction.

Wei Zeng originally planned to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Ling after destroying the Demon Sect and open the road to Kansai. However, the army of Yaodong invaded Guanbei; The Mobei Zhantu people united and invaded the border of Yanbei, plunging Wei Zeng into the quagmire of war. So the plan to attack Anyun to the west has been shelved.

Now that Wei Zeng led a large army to the north to sweep away the Zhan Tu people, the defense of the western border naturally seemed empty. Zhang Ling saw that there was an opportunity, so he gathered his army at the border, intending to enter Kouyanbei. The news of Jiang Luqing's death in battle made Zhang Ling very excited, and strengthened his determination to attack Yanbei.

The enthronement ceremony was soon held, and then Zhang Ling took the elders of the Power Sect and the army that had been assembled to attack Yanbei in a big way.

"Our goal this time is to take advantage of the fact that Wei Da's army has not returned to defend and capture as much land as possible. With land, with population, we will be stronger. When our strength reaches the point where no one can compare, the world will naturally be ours. However, we still have to send a force to attack in the direction of Stone Wind City, and it would be good if we could capture Stone Wind City. If you can't conquer Shifeng City, you can also contain Wei Zeng's army and buy us more time to capture the land. Who wants to lead someone to attack Stone Wind City? Zhang Ling came to the eastern part of Anyun and said to the elders of the Power Sect.

"Lord, Wuzhuang is willing to lead people to attack Shifeng City. At the beginning, the Lord asked me to start an uprising in Shifeng City, and it was because of my negligence that Wei Zeng took the opportunity to rise. Now I want to dedicate Stone Wind City to the Lord with my own hands. to make up for the mistake in the beginning. Wu Zhuang immediately asked.

"I don't have to worry about you. I'll give you 20,000 foot soldiers, plus 6,000 iron horsemen, don't worry about anything else, just go straight to the direction of Stone Wind City. Now Wei Zeng's main force is still in Mobei, and no one can stop you. Be quick, be surprised. in order to defeat the enemy. Zhang Ling was very satisfied when he saw that Wuzhuang personally asked for his life, so he handed over 20,000 elites to him and asked him to send troops to Shifeng City.

After Wuzhuang led the people away, Zhang Ling personally led the army of the Strength Sect to attack the eastern part of Anyun and the land of Yanbei.

The soldiers on the western border of Yanbei saw the power sect attacking in a big way, and immediately lit up wolf smoke and reported to Shifeng City. Request support. The wolf smoke billowed into the sky, burning from the border to Stonewind City. All the merchants and peasants, seeing the smoke of the wolves, knew that the war was coming, or sold their goods and fled far away; Or shut the door and hide from the passing soldiers.

"A good Zhang Ling really took the opportunity to sneak attack. However, the Zhantu people have been defeated, and the virtuous brother will return soon, when the time comes. Naturally, Zhang Ling was able to repel him. Order the soldiers on the front line to abandon those small cities. Gather the main forces in the west of the river and the big city east of the river, and then hold on and wait for the support of the virtuous brothers. As long as the big city is not lost, when Zhang Ling is defeated, all the land can naturally be recovered. After receiving the news of the attack on the border, Qi Weilun organized men and horses to support the front line. On the one hand, he gave the order to hold on.

"Our men also found out that one of the enemy's troops did not capture any land, and rushed straight to Shifeng City. We don't have enough people to stop them. Do you want to withdraw Miss Sa's troops and strengthen the defenses of Stone Wind City? A civilian official told the movement of the troops led by Takezhuang.

"The Ding brothers are eyeing each other. If Miss Sa is to withdraw, Kanbei will definitely be attacked. When the time comes, we will be in great danger if we fight on both sides. Therefore, Miss Sa's troops could not move. The enemy's army did not capture any land, and rushed straight to Shifeng City, just to take advantage of the emptiness in our rear and make a profit. But how could Stone Wind City be so easily captured?

"Ordered people to recruit strong men to the surrounding areas and send additional men to defend Shifeng City. I will send a message to Brother Xian and ask Brother Xian to send Brother Gu's cavalry team over. As for the main army of the virtuous brothers, it is natural that they must be properly arranged in order to completely defeat the enemy. After Qi Weilun finished speaking, he wrote a secret letter with his own hands and sent someone to send it to Wei Zeng, who was still in Mobei.

Wei Zeng was very sad because of Jiang Luqing's death, and after ordering someone to clean up the Mobei grassland, he slowly rushed back with his men and horses. When the news of Zhang Ling's army attacking came, Wei Zeng was not too surprised.

When he decided to gather more than 100,000 horses to attack the north, he had already expected that Zhang Ling and the Ding brothers would inevitably make some moves. Just in order to break the situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and forced to defend, Wei Zeng decided to eliminate the weaker Zhan Tu people first.

Because whether it is Anyun or Yaodong, there are a large number of cities that need to be attacked. Once you get caught up in a protracted siege, it's hard to get out. It is much easier to deal with the Zhantu people in Mobei, there is no need to occupy their land, only need to defeat their army.

"Originally, I was worried about where to send troops after defeating the Zhan Tu people, but now I don't have this trouble. The careerists of the Power Sect have wanted to destroy you for a long time, and it has dragged on for three years, and it is not too late now. Wei Zeng said secretly in his heart.

"This is a secret message from the eldest brother from Stone Wind City. The eldest brother meant that let Cha Yi lead the cavalry to support Shifeng Castle and resist the enemy forces who tried to attack Shifeng Castle. Our large army, on the other hand, was divided into two routes, all the way from Mobei to Hedong in the south, and directly fought with Zhang Ling's main force. Attack the land of Lao Qin all the way, threaten the enemy's rear, and force Zhang Ling to withdraw. After Wei Tian received Qi Weilun's secret letter, he summoned the generals and said.

"Mr. Qi's plan is very good, one can ensure that Shifeng City is worry-free, and the other can quickly repel Zhang Ling's attack. And then our losses will be small. Yu Chaogui agreed.

"But I don't want to just knock Zhang Ling back. I want to defeat Zhang Ling completely. At the beginning, I cooperated with these careerists in order to defeat the Iron Army, but I didn't find a chance in the past few years, so I have been letting them grow bigger. This time, since they provoked the incident first, it is natural to make them pay the price. Wei Zeng said resolutely.

"What does the general mean? Is there a better plan than Mr. Qi? Yu Chaogui asked.

"I decided to lead the 80,000-strong army south to Hedong and fight Zhang Ling's main force, which is no different from what the eldest brother said. But the matter of supporting Stone Wind City, I have decided to leave it to you. Wei Zeng pointed at Yu Chaogui and said.

"Me? But my hands are full of infantry, and if I go late, I'm afraid something will happen to Stone Wind City. The general's family. The main officials of Yanbei are in Shifeng City. Stone Wind City is not to be missed. Yu Chaogui wondered.

"I naturally know this, so I will also ask Cha Yi's 10,000 cavalry to go to support Shifeng City, and I should be able to arrive in time. As for your troops, cut off the retreat of the enemy forces that have penetrated deep into them, and since they have come, do not want to leave again. Wei Zeng said.

"Then you mean. We won't send people to attack the land of Lao Qin. After annihilating the enemy who went deep into Yanbei, he directly fought a decisive battle with Zhang Ling. That's actually okay. Gu Cha nodded and said after hearing Wei Zeng's words.

"No, we will send people to attack, but the people who will attack will be those who have joined the Zhantu." Wei Zengyi gritted his teeth and said.

Gu Chayi and Yu Chaogui both showed very surprised expressions when they heard Wei Zeng say that they would let the Zhantu people attack the land of Lao Qin.

"I don't think it's appropriate, they won't listen to us, let them go to war, I guess they will all run out before they reach the battlefield." Gu Cha shook his head.

"But wouldn't that be too risky, are the Janturians really reliable? We have slain their king. and burned their steppes, in case they betrayed us, it would be dangerous. Yu Chaogui was also suspicious.

"You don't need to trust them, you just need them to fight. Tens of thousands of people were selected and their families were taken into custody. Then let them attack the land of Lao Qin. They did not go to storm cities, but to harass the enemy's rear. As long as the enemy's rear is unstable, we have a better chance of victory at the front. If they dare to rebel, I will kill all the Janturs. Wei Zeng said.

"Wei Zeng, do you really hate the Power Sect so much? Hate that you can't wait even a day longer? We don't have to take that risk. Step by step, you will be able to defeat the enemy in a few years. In case Mobei is in turmoil again. Our months of hard work have been in vain. As soon as Gu Cha felt that it was very inappropriate, he persuaded him.

"I've been waiting for so many years, so naturally I can't wait. To be able to defeat Zhang Ling as soon as possible, the power that can naturally be used must be used. Didn't we recruit 6,000 Zhantu people to resist the Predators? Now you can do the same. Wei Zeng insisted.

"But that's different. At that time, Beihu hated them, and they had nothing to do but follow us. Now, after all these years, they have long recognized with us. Those newly annexed Zhantu people are different, they don't agree with us, let them get tens of thousands of people together, it will really be chaotic. Gu Chayi said a little anxiously.

"I know what the general means. But it really can't be like that. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and the general must be calm. Zhang Ling is not our last enemy, and we can't gamble to defeat Zhang Ling. The Death Sect in Kansai has an army of 100,000 troops, and if we lose this time, there really won't be any chance to set foot in Kansai. Yu Chaogui persuaded.

"Don't you all agree? Is that really not going to work? Hey, if only Jiang Luqing were better, he would definitely be able to think of the best of both worlds. Since you don't agree, then the Zhan Tu people don't need to do it for now. Wei Zeng sighed and said.

"Kansai is mountainous, and if you want to defeat the Death Cultists, you will have to invest a lot of troops, and it's really not worth the risk now. The general doesn't need to be in a hurry, good flowers are not afraid of late blooming, and sooner or later the general will be able to get his wish. Yu Chaogui said.

"I know, let's go according to the plan just now, Shifeng City can't be lost, and Zhang Ling must also be defeated. I'm a little tired, so I'm all gone. Wei Zeng didn't want to say anything more, so he asked the generals to prepare for battle, and he came outside the camp alone.

Since Jiang Luqing died, Wei Zeng was in a bad mood, and it has been seven years since Yushan got Jiang Luqing's refuge. In the past seven years, there are naturally feelings.

When a strategist who had followed him for seven years died, Wei Zeng's heart was a little empty, not sad that he was missing a help in the fight for domination. Just a little remembrance as a person.

Wei Zeng remembered that since seven years ago, he learned that Feng Liansheng was still alive from his senior brother Chi Xuewen, and he was determined to save her. But now seven years have passed, and there is not even a shadow of everything.

Wei Zeng was scared, if one day he really defeated the Death Sect and really occupied Kansai, but his beloved was no longer there, how would he face it?

"I didn't want to pursue anything, I just wanted to spend my life with the people closest to me. If I had a choice, I would rather give up everything I have now, marry a wife, take care of my mother, and live my life in peace. But everything can't, then I can only choose to wait for the person I should wait, and then live my life frankly. But can I really do that now? If the people I'm waiting for are gone, what's the point of me living? Is it just to fight and kill people, and then continue to fight and continue to kill? ”

Wei Zeng's heart was unwilling, the autumn nights were very cold, but Wei Zeng's heart was even cooler.

"Wei Zeng, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this before, you've always been calm, and even I can see that it's inappropriate to use the Zhan Tu people. Why are you so insistent? I've never seen you sigh like you've ever seen before. Gu Cha came to Wei Zeng's side and said.

"Good brother, let's not talk about the military. I didn't think it through it just now, but now I've figured it out. I'll just ask you one thing, what kind of life do you think is happiness? Wei Zeng asked.

"What is happiness? I really hadn't thought about it. It's really hard for me to answer your question. Gu Chayi was asked by Wei Zengyi at a loss.

"And when will you be happy? Do you think it's really fun to fight all the time? Wei Zeng continued to ask.

"Fighting is really painful sometimes, especially when you beat a strong enemy. But if there are too many battles, it will be a little boring. But I'm very happy when I see Xiuxiu, no matter how many times I see it. Xiuxiu gave birth to a son for me, and although it was annoying to cry, I couldn't help but want to laugh when I saw it. I said Wei Zeng, you should also have a child, and when you have a child, let a few little guys play in it, it's also fun to think about it. Gu Chayi said with a smile.

"I've been fighting outside for the past few years, and I don't have time. However, before coming to Mobei this time, Zhen'er kept vomiting and had other pregnancy reactions, so she should be pregnant. Wei Zeng said.

"Congratulations. But you're a lot behind me, and I'm finally going to be able to overtake you. Gu Cha said with a smile.

"Actually, you still haven't been able to surpass me." Wei Zeng said with a smile.

"Where is it not more than you, your child is born now, and it is a full year later than my child. Of course I surpassed you. Gu Cha argued.

"Don't talk about this, tomorrow I will go south to fight Zhang Ling, let's take a good rest. We still have children, and for the sake of children, for the sake of the future, we also want to win. Wei Zeng was in a good mood, patted Gu Cha, and said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
