The east wind began in March, when the agricultural season was officially busy, but the east wind also provided convenience for the Yaodong people to start war. After a quiet winter, the Yaodong troop transport ship and the grain ship arrived in the Central Plains by the east wind, and the personnel and grain and grass were replenished, and Ding Zhuqing prepared to attack Shifeng City in a big way.

Wei Zeng had been defeated, and the Windrush Regiment's oath not to fight Wei Zeng no longer existed. The Yaodong army, under the leadership of the Wind Regiment, passed through the Yushan Mountain Road and pressed in the direction of Shifeng City.

Han He found Ding Zhuqing, said that he did not support the war, and persuaded Ding Zhuqing to stop the war. Ding Zhuqing already had the ambition to annex the Eight Desolations, how could he change his mind because of Han He's words. It's just that it is still necessary to use Han He's school to consolidate his rule, Ding Zhuqing didn't have a seizure, just a little perfunctory, and then avoided Han He's disappearance.

In the face of the attack of the Yaodong army, the Anyun Iron Blood Army could only temporarily give up tracking down the disappeared Wei Zeng. Several veterans of the Iron Blood Army also personally led the main force to resist Ding Zhuqing's attack.

The strength of the Iron Blood Army has long been inferior to before, and Anyun itself has also been war-torn for several years. Compared with Yaodong, which is stable all the year round and now has enough soldiers, the iron-blooded army does not seem to have any advantages, but after a battle, the first problem to arise is the Yaodong army with "enough soldiers".

"Although I have been fighting a war last year, my Yaodong is also considered to be in good weather, and now your sect master says that he can't get food, what is the reason? Forget about your Tangmen family, the other ones are all under this pretext, could it be that our Yaodong didn't harvest anything last year? Ding Zhuqing looked at the letters sent by the four gangs, his anger burned from the bottom of his heart, and he immediately got up and pointed to a few snow fox warriors and said.

"Why should Lord Ding be angry, this is indeed the truth. Several of our families are small households, but the land is not as vast as that of Dejiawei. Food is abundant. If you ask us to give us more food, then we have to give us more land. The eight-tailed warrior of the Tang Gate said.

"Okay, that's what you mean. I tell you, the newly occupied land that we have now destroyed is not the slightest bit destroyed. It takes a lot of money to restore agriculture in these areas. How many of you are in such a difficult situation. How can I bear to be a burden to you? Go back and tell the sect masters of your families, as long as you can obtain the entire Central Plains, their benefits will naturally be indispensable at that time. In case we fail because of a lack of food, it feels like being hit at the doorstep, but it is not comfortable at all. Ding Zhuqing heard the words of several Snow Fox warriors, held back the anger in his heart, and reluctantly said in a soft tone.

"Empty words. What is better than real gold and silver. Please also ask Lord Ding, if you can prescribe some conditions, we can go back and help the master to return to life. The Snow Fox Warrior of the Green Gang replied.

Ding Zhuqing was speechless when he heard this, it was too rude to ask for benefits so blatantly.

Ding Zhuhuang just listened from the sidelines, and there was no word in the whole conversation, when he saw Ding Zhuqing, he was about to have a seizure. He put down the teacup and said with a smile: "What several warriors said is that this battle will kill people. And to spend money, without some compensation, how can you do your best? My eldest brother and I discussed that as long as Shifeng City is captured, the main force of our Dejia Guard will also be transferred, and the land of Xu Huai will also lack a cadre to guard it. Let's just give it to a few warriors. ”

Ding Zhuqing was also surprised when he heard Ding Zhuhuang's words, but when he saw Ding Zhuhuang glaring at him again and again, he expressed his willingness to let Xu Huai out of the land.

Several Snow Fox warriors saw that the Ding family brothers gave in, and their goals were achieved. He received Ding Zhuqing's handwritten letter and went back to his life.

"Second brother, what do you mean? Those gangs are already troublesome enough now, and if they occupy more land, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future. Now they get the benefits and will cooperate with us, but it won't be long before they will make some small moves. Ding Zhuqing asked after a few people left.

"The eldest brother killed all the people who surrendered to Suicheng, and the four gangs were stimulated and united against us. Although we are very strong now, Yaodong is fundamental after all, and if Yaodong is in turmoil, we will also lose everything we have now. The four of them are not monolithic, and if they want to deal with them, they must be allowed to fight on their own.

"We promised to let Xu Huai out, but how to let it, but we didn't say specifically. On the territory of the Green Gang, leave a piece of land for the Tang Sect; Where the Luofeng Society is stationed, let the Red Cloud Society go to collect taxes. With competing interests, I don't believe they can still be so consistent. Throwing a piece of meat and watching four dogs bite you to death is also a very cost-effective thing. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"It's still the second brother who thinks thoughtfully, as long as they don't join forces, we can break them one by one. By the time they woke up, it was too late. Just like that, without the constraints of the four of them, the future will be quieter. Ding Zhuqing said with a smile.

"But now we are short of food and grass, and we are powerless to follow. Relying on the support of the Windrush alone will not last long, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to win this war. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"It's a pity that we can't capture Stone Wind City this time, but there will be a chance in the future. Although the wind of the wind group was far away, although it was forced to submit to us, but the conditions that were promised not to fight against Wei Zeng at the beginning seemed to be righteous. Now that we don't hide things and do things for us, it seems that it can also be of great use. Ding Zhuqing mentioned that the wind was far away, and he couldn't help but praise.

"The Windrush is very special, they have no ambition to compete for the world, and they can be considered safe in their work. We can give them some power, but Wei Zeng is not dead, and Gu Chayi is still entrenched in Yushan. We can't fully trust them either. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"What the second brother said is that I will arrange it well. But second brother, you're also very strange. You obviously like that woman named Weizhen very much, but you want to send her back to Wei Zeng's side. You were clearly opposed to me sending troops to Yanbei at the beginning, but now you are planning for fear that I will fail. Second brother, I don't understand you. Ding Zhuqing said with a smile.

"We're brothers. Persuade when you should persuade, and try to help your eldest brother when you shouldn't. As for Weizhen, if she can be happy, I will be at ease. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"That's right, we are brothers, and with you as a good brother, I can rest assured of anything. As long as we brothers work together, we will stand on the highest peak in the world in the future and look down on the glory of the small group, it will be ours. Ding Zhuqing laughed.

Ding Zhuhuang just smiled slightly. And there was no response.

After several months of fighting, the Yaodong army failed to conquer Shifeng City due to internal discord, and finally chose to retreat.

The generals of An Yun said that the strong enemy retreated, and they all settled down, and they were extremely relaxed for a while.

Ken Gu Zhong stood on top of Stone Wind Castle. The joy of seeing the enemy retreat filled his heart with a sense of joy of victory, as if he had infinite power to wipe out all the enemies in the world.

"Now that the enemy has retreated, and there is no fighting here, I will order someone to send the young master back." Asked, came to Ken Guzhong's side and said.

"Hello sir. My father asked me to come to Yanbei this time, on the one hand, because he hoped that I could learn from a few old generals to arrange troops. On the other hand, it is to let me learn how to govern the people from Mr. Wendao. In such a troubled world, you can't ignore military affairs, but you must also understand the great principles of governing the country and securing the country. Seeing the arrival of the question, Xian Guzhong put away his pride and ambition, and said very respectfully.

"It's also the Xian Shuai who looks up to the old man. The old man naturally didn't dare to hide his secrets, and he would definitely teach the young master everything he had learned all his life. However, the young master's status is noble. The old man didn't dare to treat the young master like a disciple. It's better for the young master to go to the old man's house to live for a few days, and talk about some humanistic things when he has nothing to do, which is also very good. He replied with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Wendao, it is really a blessing to have Mr. Wendao personally advise." Kentanaka said humbly.

So after the Yaodong people retreated, Xian Guzhong did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the mansion where he asked to learn the principles of governing the people.

A month has passed, and Ken Gu Zhong originally wanted to stay a few more days, but the news of Ken Jinfei's serious illness came. In order to avoid Xian Jinfei's serious illness, An Yun would have a mess, and Xian Guzhong returned to Beijing day and night.

The dynasty has been dead for many years. Except for Zhang Ling, no one has ever been called an emperor. The Iron Blood Army is not as strong as before, and it doesn't want to become the target of public criticism, so Xian Jinfei restored the ancient name of the Jingshi: Heluo City.

The news of Xian Jinfei's serious illness was blocked, and only a few high-ranking members of the Iron Blood Army knew the true situation, and when Xian Guzhong returned to Heluo City, everything was safe.

Since the fall of the dynasty, Heluo City has been occupied by the Power Sect and Wei Zeng, especially Wei Zeng's fire to the palace, so that the prosperity of Heluo City has become a passing cloud.

After the iron-blooded army occupied Heluo City, Xian Jinfei saw that the population of the city was not as good as before, and it was very inconvenient to defend a huge city, so nearly half of the city was abandoned, and another city wall was built in the city, forming the scale of today's Heluo City. The Imperial Palace, which used to be in the middle of the city, is now in ruins and has been isolated from the city walls.

Xian Guzhong rushed all the way to the city, and his feelings were very complicated. His father was seriously ill, and he was also very worried. As the youngest son of Xian Jinfei and his only living son, there is no lack of fatherly love in Xiao Xian Valley, but the chicks who have been cared for also have the desire to spread their wings and fly high. When he comes back this time, he still has an expectation, maybe his father is seriously ill and cannot be a director, and he will have the opportunity to take power and become a person in power. This kind of temptation and worry are mixed together, and it is not a good taste for the center of the Xiangu Center.

Looking at the abandoned houses on both sides of the road, Kentanaka recalled the prosperous scene of the former Jingshi and seemed to have some understanding. But at that time, he was just an ignorant child, and he only remembered buying some delicious and fun things. Finally, his gaze moved back from the ruins on both sides, and looked at the newly built city gate in front of him, and a sense of pride and ambition filled his heart.

"After this experience, I have learned a lot, whether it is fighting a war with soldiers or governing the country, I can definitely do a good job. I had to convince my father to give me a chance to perform. "There is a secret passage in the center of the Ring Valley.

Under the protection of the guards, Xian Guzhong entered Xian Jinfei's room, only to see Xian Jinfei sitting in the room. There were a group of Anyun veterans and veterans standing on both sides, all of them looked solemn, and no one spoke.

"Young master." A group of Anyun veterans and veterans, when they saw Xian Guzhong, they all bowed and saluted. This was unimaginable before, and in the past, in the face of these "elders", he could only be the one who bent down and saluted.

Ken Gu was a little uncomfortable, and he wanted to return the salute, but he was stopped by Ken Guzhong.

"From now on, except for the Heaven and Earth Teacher, no one can let you lower your head, you must have the integrity of being a man, and you must have the majesty of being a commander." Xian Jinfei has gray hair, his face is also haggard, his complexion is blue and black, and his body is obviously not very good, but these words have an indescribable majesty.

"The child remembers." The atmosphere at the scene was a little solemn, and Xian Guzhong was infected, raised his head, and his face was solemn.

"Mr. Wendao is a great loyal servant who shares weal and woe with us, and if you don't know how to ask him for advice in the future. Mr. Wen is reluctant to leave Stone Wind City, you also have to visit often, and you really can't leave your body, and you have to send letters often. General Bai and General Wu are here, they are veterans of the battlefield, and when they send troops to fight in the future, they must ask the two of them. You must treat these three people as teachers in the future, and you must not slack off. Xian Jinfei said.

Xian Gu Zhong should bear, to Bai Zheng and Wu Deli, made a big gift.

"All of you present are meritorious heroes, and I, An Yun, have been able to recover thanks to their efforts. You must be kind in the future, and you must not let a loyal good person suffer any grievances. Xian Jinfei said.

"The child remembers." As he spoke, he bowed to the others, and the others bowed down one after another.

"Bring the order of the three armies and the great seal of the slaughter." Xian Jinfei said, and in front of everyone, he announced that Xian Guzhong had become the supreme commander of An Yun and the supreme commander of the Iron Army.

After some salutation, everyone retreated. After only the father and son were left, Xian Jinfei finally couldn't hold on. Xian Guzhong hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Father is in such bad health, why don't you talk about it later, you see what you have become now." Kentanaka said with concern.

"I'm afraid it's too late, and there will be chaos. You are still young and have little qualifications, and as a father, this is helping you to establish your authority! Xian Jinfei said.

"I understand my father's thoughts. You might as well rest now. Ken Guzhong carried Ken Jin Fei to the bed.

"You remember, when you become one party in power in the future, you must have your own cronies. After all, the courtiers of the father are for the father, and they can help you for a while, but they can't help you for a lifetime. Corporal Lixian, with your identity, you can always recruit talents......" Xian Jinfei still said, but his face was already very soft.

Xian Jinfei lay on the hospital bed, kept telling big and small things, lost his majesty, and the whole thing was a sign of loving fatherhood. Ken Gu Zhong served by Xian Jinfei's side, and he was also in a bad mood when he saw Ken Jinfei's health deteriorate day by day.

Just as Xian was about to die, he suddenly grabbed Xian Guzhong's hand and said solemnly: "I know you have some ideas, but you remember, before defeating Fan Yuyi in Jiangnan, don't be the emperor." After that, he passed away. (To be continued.) )
