Facing the resolute defense of the enemy army on the castle tower, Zuo Lan had already frowned, if he calculated carefully, it had been nearly half a month since he attacked Koike County

Zuo Lan's way, except for being put on a position by Pan Min and others, is really smooth, attacking the Yangqiao in front of the south road, Huaining and other counties can basically say that it can be effortless.

Although 200,000 stone grain and grass were looted, which once put Zuolan's 50,000 imperial forest army in a predicament, after capturing several cities in a row, under its iron-fisted means of requisitioning grain, the crisis of grain and grass has been lifted early.

But right now, Zuo Lan has encountered one of the core cities of the Taibai Sect, Koike County!

Not to mention that a young man dressed as a Confucian general can lay out a wonderful formation, so that the rain in the sky can be transformed into a brave and warlike water man, it is another flag-carrying figure of the Taibai Sect that really makes Zuo Lan understand what it means to be frightened.

I have seen the momentum of Ling Fen, I have experienced Bai Wei's killing intent, and even Pan Min's cold arrow has been suffered by myself, but the general called Niu Fen has not let him have the courage to face it.

The ferocity of his killing methods is simply unheard of, this seemingly unattractive person, his hands and feet are like iron and copper, and he can beat a person apart with a single move.

That's all big living people, Zuo Lan saw that there were no deputy generals available around him, and sighed in his heart, he suddenly found that it would be difficult to search for the corpses of these deputy generals, because they had already been eaten alive against Niu Fen.

Zuo Lan was distressed here, and the atmosphere in the Taibai Sect camp was also silent.

Since the expedition of Jiangnan Zuolan, the eight counties in the north of Anzhou occupied by Taibai County have been forcibly pulled out of five, except for Xiaochi, which is now reduced to the first front, there is only one logistics county town, and Jiujiang County, where Huangquan's old nest is located.

Liu Shaokun looked bitter, he had already cast the Eight Desolation Formation seven times in half a month, if it weren't for the time limit of this kind of formation, I'm afraid he would have already dried up his blood.

But even if Zuo Lan now adopts the strategy of besieging but not attacking, Liu Shaokun can face it calmly, but what really distresses him is the change in Huang Quan.

Huang Quan was a village middle school at the earliest, relying on teaching and educating people to make a living, and he resolutely rose up in the unkind situation of the Liu Dynasty, which naturally made Liu Shaokun willing to live and die.

But it is also because Huang Quan used to be a commoner at the lowest level, and once he ascended to a high position, earth-shaking changes occurred.

The image of the righteous man who once favored Liu Shaokun has collapsed, and after occupying the eight counties of Anzhou, Huang Quan only thinks of enjoyment.

At first, Huang Quan's behavior was deliberately to avoid Liu Shaokun and others, but later this Jishi general had begun to live a drunken life of dreams and death.

The traitorous villains around him are naturally one of the reasons, and after Liu Shaokun resolutely killed a few people, Huang Quan was already dissatisfied with Liu Shaokun, so he transferred him to Xiaochi to be a taishou, out of sight and out of mind.

No, Liu Shaokun's did not get his wish, but the villains around Huang Quan have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, so that even if there is not much left of Taibaijiao's family business, this leader is still so comfortable and carefree, and he doesn't care.

Liu Shaokun, the first literati of the Taibai Sect, was very troubled, and Niu Fen, who was known as the first warrior of the Taibai Sect, was not much better.

But unlike Liu Shaokun's disappointment with Huang Quan, Niu Fen's troubles can only stay in Xiaochi County.

When he heard for the first time that Jiangnan was also going to the north, Niu Fen had indescribable joy in his heart, what was the high position taught by Taibai, and in the eyes of this man, the brotherhood with Jiangnan in his previous life was the most important.

He took the initiative to ask Huang Quan to come to guard Xiaochi County, because he felt that Jiangnan would appear in the journey anyway, and when the time came, he would take Xiao Tian directly to Jiangnan, and take care of his Taibai Sect, and General Jishi, who would care about him.

However, Niu Fen was disappointed, ten days ago he already knew that it was another general Zuo Lan who attacked Xiaochi, and Jiangnan chose the northern route of the campaign.

Now it is definitely not possible to go to Jiangnan, looking at Zuo Lan's neat and uniform 50,000 elite troops, he knows that even if he can break through, Xiao Tian will not be able to survive in this thousands of troops.

It is important to find Jiangnan, but Xiao Tian, who was finally together, really can't give up.

The horn of war sounded again, Niu Fen had already killed seven in and seven out of Zuolan's army, and he seemed to want to vent all his sulkness on these soldiers.

Liu Shaokun stood in the city tower, continuing to manipulate the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, without the cooperation of Huang Quan Tiandao, his formation had been weakened a lot.

Zuo Lan is very smart and has always used the soldiers he has collected all the way to take the lead, and the 50,000 royal forest army of the trump card he will not send out on top of this kind of attrition campaign at all.

On the other hand, on the side of the Taibai Sect, except for Niu Fen's courage and Liu Shaokun's water man, there are not many resources left available.

…

Just when the South Road was surging, Jiangnan on the North Road was also implementing its own strategy of borrowing troops.

After a night of delicious food and drink, Jiangnan Lingzhu also recuperated his spirits, and in the morning, he had already visited the cavalry of the Diqiang tribe under the leadership of Saiqi and Yan Shibai.

The tribe of the Diqiang tribe occupies a large area, so their army training place is naturally not small, when Jiangnan arrived here, he only felt that all the five thousand cavalry of Diqiang could ride their horses and gallop in this training place.

Most of the cavalry of the Qiang nationality are rangers, and their weapons and equipment are not as single as the cavalry of the Han nationality, and the general Qiang cavalry will be equipped with a spear made of fine iron, and a unique scimitar of the Qiang nationality will be hung on the waist.

The Diqiang people have their own horse farms, and like the three major horse farms in Zhiguo, nearly a thousand foals can be born here in a year.

In a backward era like Kyushu, this kind of production efficiency was good, but only one-third of the horses could be used in battle.

Let's not talk about some of the deaths in the growth of poor care, even if the remaining horses that grow up smoothly must be carefully selected, the strong ones can be called real war horses, and the eliminated ones can only be used as some tool horses for handling.

The horses under the crotch of Saiqi's rangers were all white, and they ran so fast that even if Jiang Nan looked at it, he only felt that a large number of white lightning bolts were intertwined in the training ground.

"Anan, how are Uncle's Rangers?" At this time, Saiqi had a proud look on his face, and after a day of getting along, he had already changed Jiangnan's name to Qiang and affectionately called him Anan.

Although Jiang Nan was a little unaccustomed to this kind of title, he was only stunned for a while and said:

"Looking at my uncle's cavalry, I know how big the world is!"

Saiqi nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard under his cheeks, and asked Jiang Nan

"How does it compare to Anan's cavalry?"

"Shengnan's cavalry is a hundred times!" Jiang Nan has replied affirmatively, after all, the facts are there, and he can only tell the truth.

"Hahahaha!" Saiqi laughed happily and said: "The Han people are a hundred times superior to our Qiang people in terms of strategy and equipment, but if we talk about the quality of this cavalry, I am afraid that even Hu Lu can only sigh at us!"

Most of our Qiang tribes are nomadic tribes, so the horses are all good breeds that can travel thousands of miles, even my eldest brother Ling Zhen was full of praise for this! ”

As soon as Saiqi said Ling Zhen, there was obviously a flash in Ling Zhen's eyes, and under the blowing nose and glare of Yan Shibai, this straightforward leader of the Diqiang clan also knew that he had mentioned the sadness of his future son-in-law.

"We're old!" Sage said suddenly.

"This world will naturally belong to you young people in the future." After saying that, Saiqi suddenly stretched out two hands, one hand patted Jiang Nan's shoulder, and the other hand did the same to Ling Press.

"You two, don't let me fail to see that nominally you are called the lord and your subordinates, but in fact you are more like brothers!

One of you is my eldest brother's son, and you will be my son-in-law in the future. One is my daughter's brother-in-law, so even if it's half of my child!

I think I've been fighting horses for more than 60 years, and I think the sun is also going down in the west, and what if I hand over the 5,000 family wealth to you today? ”

The power on his shoulders shocked Jiang Nan, he knew that these Qiang rangers were like the escort of this famous clan, and the heavier the power in Lao Saiqi's hands at this moment, it also represented his trust in himself.

Saiqi laughed heartily again, looking at Jiangnan and Ling Jian who were leaping and trying in front of him, and the feeling of emotion kept rushing to his heart.

He has always believed in his choice, twenty years ago, he could believe in Baizhan Hou Ling Zhen without hesitation, so what can he not trust his two children in the next generation after twenty years.

"You're a lot like my big brother when he was younger!" Saiqi praised Jiang Nan without reservation, and after speaking, he put his hands in his mouth and whistled the unique Diqiang people.

The whistle sounded, and a general with a feather on his head was already half-kneeling in front of Sage.

I saw Saiqi wave his hand and said: "Sang Jun, I know that you have always liked the culture of the Han people, and from today onwards, he will be your new supreme leader!" ”

When the man named Sang Jun heard this, his body was shocked, and he couldn't help but look up at the young man in front of him who was younger than him, and said after hesitating for a while

"Sang Jun obeys the king's will!"

Saiqi nodded lightly, and said to Jiang Nan again: "All the family background of our Qiang tribe has been handed over to you, from today on, our Qiang tribe can be said to be under the command of your general, then Anan, I also have one condition!"

After you have completed your mission, please be sure to wipe out the surrounding Hulu threat for the Diqiang clan! ”

Looking at the old leader's serious face, Jiang Nan agreed directly, he knew in his heart that Saiqi had given all of Di Qiang's combat power to himself, so it was only natural for him to protect the Di Qiang clan.

"Hey!" Saiqi sighed, and turned his back straight away, looking at the back of this old man who was getting farther and farther away, the four people present all had different thoughts in their hearts.

Sage's decision must have been to try his best to overcome a strong ideological struggle, and it was definitely impossible for him to say that he was reluctant at this time, but he also knew that sometimes some things must be learned to let go!

Yes, people will always get old, so instead of letting it disappear with the years, why not let it be passed on more intact?
