In the middle of autumn in August, Yinshan Langya Peak.
The roar that resounded through the valley ceased, and the ice picks, which were as sharp as arrows and dense as rain, were no longer flying in the sky.
The hard rock was scraped three fingers thick by the innate true qi and gang, and it was completely covered with ice crystals like glass.
Dressed in a green shirt, black hair flying in the wind, Zhu Biao's figure stood on the top of the Wolf's Tooth Peak. Beneath, in the thick ice crystals, a figure is clearly visible.
The figure was completely covered and wrapped in ice crystals, as if it were in an ice coffin. But there was no trace of hideousness and ferocity on his face, as if he was asleep, as if the blood hole the size of a copper coin in his chest did not exist.
"Sixth brother, let's just leave like this? Didn't you say that you should sacrifice the head of the dog to your uncle, your grandfather, and the dead people......"
Zhu Biao didn't say anything, and walked silently down the mountain.
Kill the King of the Law of the Kingdom, the system prompt of 1000 gold can't make him 'wake up', and the system prompt sound of the first S-class mission completion can't make him 'wake up'. His whole person is in a kind of self-enclosed emptiness, and he doesn't listen, hear, see, or feel to the outside world!
Zhu Biao's heart was immersed in the duel just now, immersed in the final blow of the duel......
A decisive battle that has long been doomed, how sad it must be for the king who came to the appointment. He came to fight with Zhu Biao, settled the grievances with Zhu Biao, and also understood the centuries-old grievances between Shan Yu's royal court and the Northern Han Dynasty, who changed his name to Wei.
Can the Dharma King win under pressure? Dare to win?
I wish Biao victory in this battle!
If it was a duel that really let go of his hands and feet, Zhu Biao would not just spit out a mouthful of blood and only break those two ribs.
Put yourself in your shoes, in other words, if you are in the position of the king of the country, the Northern Han Dynasty has reached the point of life and death, and the other party will accompany him to death, and he will be like the king of the country. Obediently die?
An opponent who holds the law of the country and looks like a king, and then goes to cut off his head and sacrifice, it is too tasteless!
August 15, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Northern Han Dynasty, the Zhao State, and the Hu people, the war that lasted for nearly twenty years came to an end. The thick prologue fell, and the Hu people were divided into two, the former Zuoxian King Wuda, based on his own strength and the King of Zuogu Li, and established himself as Rouran Shan Yu. The former Longcheng royal court, which was far away from the extreme northern grassland, was renamed Wei Room. Wuji's son, Wu Han, succeeded Shan to the throne.
The two tribes submitted to the Northern Han Dynasty, and the border line between Zhao and Han moved thousands of miles north.
Wuda's heart is bleeding, this ceded thousands of miles of land has a good climate, good water and grass, and it is the most fertile pasture on the grassland.
But the shape shì is not by people. If it weren't for a letter from Wu Hengfei that was delivered at the right time, saying that with Wuda's army to attack Di Lu in the east, Zhu Biao's army might have killed the Zuogu Liwang Department that he had never set foot in.
The Northern Han Dynasty is marked by Yin Mountain. Just draw a horizontal line horizontally. With Yinshan as an innate barrier, the operation of Yanzhou and Luozhou Beidi may be more difficult, but the north of Hezhou will definitely become a new state of Dahan.
The geographical conditions there are very superior, and in the previous war, Hexi and Hedong have operated this thousands of miles of land. As long as you fill in the people, open up the cultivated land, and build villages and cities, at most a hundred years, it will be the same as the ten states of the Northern Han Dynasty today.
And Zhao Guo is difficult to say. There is no geographical advantage. They are north of the current border, and even if they build some cities, the security problem will not be solved. The land of thousands of miles is always under the hooves of the steppe cavalry. Unless the Zhao people are determined to build a new Great Wall in the north......
September. Zhu Biao led 150,000 cavalry south to the Central Plains. However, the route of the march this time was not the same as before: the Northern Han > Zhongshan > the northern frontier, but directly crossed the border to Chen Di in the east of the river, and Chen underneath the defense of the country and directly attacked the eastern part of the northern frontier.
At the same time, the Hedong Army in China should also prepare to merge with the large forces of the Han Army, and the Zhao Army, the Zhongshan Army, and the Hu Cavalry, that is, the Rouran Army of Wuda, will go to the eastern battlefield of the grassland in April next year at the latest, and attack the Di people who are still strong. As for whether it will sweep the east corner of Dongyi in the end, that will be a matter for later.
"You can't be at home again for the Chinese New Year this year......"
Snuggled in Zhu Biao's arms, Shan Yuping was a little lonely. In the past few years, Zhu Biao has been fighting every time, and the more he fights, the farther away from Hedong......
Zhu Biao has nothing to say, he was not there for the Chinese New Year last year, and this year is the same.
"There are too many masters in the Central Plains, you must be careful when you get there. Me and the child, waiting for you at home. ”
His arms were tightly wrapped, wishing he could rub people into his bones.
"Ahh......h
The warmth is warm, so that people can melt the whole thing. But the days can be separated, and it will not be delayed by half a minute, and on the fifth day of the ninth month, the army will go east.
Cangzhou, Qingchi.
The destination of the Biao army. The light of the September sun was still reflected on the plains of thousands of miles, and five hundred elite horses were galloping wantonly on the fields.
Overhead, an eagle hovers in the sky, flying fast, high and low, and at an astonishing speed.
The vigorous posture is really like the king of the air, the majestic wind is terrifying, and it looks so uncomfortable! White clouds fluttered around it, bursts of eagle chirping, loud, crisp, and even more arrogant.
At the head of the war horse, a tall man in his fifties, his legs controlled the horse, and his free hands held up a large bow decorated with shining gems.
The whole body is inky and crystalline, decorated with gemstones, gold and silver, and the big bow looks luxurious and eye-catching. But this is actually really a good bow, and it can't be pulled away without five hundred pounds of arm strength.
But the five-stone strong bow was effortless in Chen Kui's hands, and he tore it open lightly.
Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, aim!
shout
With a sharp sound, the flying falcon in the sky fell directly, plopped down, and fell to the ground.
And some of the soldiers ran and lifted the eagle up, and they saw that an arrow was piercing the eagle's neck.
"Great handsome marksman!" Immediately there were attendants applauding.
A civil official who rode a horse and ran beside Chen Kui also stroked his short beard and nodded with a smile of admiration.
Chen Kui laughed, threw the bow to the attendant, and looked at the eagle with an arrow piercing the throat, extremely satisfied. "Erer is also an eagle, not enough to worry about. In the coming day, Ben Shuai pierced Tang Sheng's throat with an arrow, and that was the great joy! ”
"The handsome man can afford Tang Sheng. This rat is a man at both ends. The incorruptible and shameless people are all scolded by the world, and the lower officials regard them as inferior to the wild eagles. ”
The service of the close ministers made Chen Kui, who had a haughty temperament and looked down on Tang Sheng, the assassin of Haizhou, very happy. has been back to the Zhaofu Mansion, and Chen Kui is also very interested.
But when the housekeeper ran to his ear and whispered a word, Chen Kui, who was smiling, immediately looked terrified.
"Wu Xiyuan?" This person is Chen Kui's confidant, and a few days ago, he was just sent out to run errands. I guess I'm back in order.
Chen Kui only thought for a moment, and then said, "In the Little Flower Hall, bring him to see Ben Shuai." ”
"Yes, sir." The butler retreated.
A moment later, Wu Xiyuan met Chen Kui.
"Humble Wu Xiyuan, I've seen a big handsome." As soon as he entered the Little Flower Hall, Wu Xiyuan immediately saluted Chen Kui.
is different from the weakness of civil officials and the bravery of military generals, this person's temperament tends to be capable.
If Zhu Biao sees it, he will think of Zhu Minglai as soon as possible.
Chen Kui sat on the main seat, holding a blue and white tea cup in his hand. Seeing Wu Xiyuan coming in, he immediately asked, "Has the matter come to an end?" ”
"Dashuai, the lowly position has been ascertained, and I have come to report to Dashuai." Wu Xiyuan straightened up. Whispered. Although it is impossible for a third person to appear in this vicinity.
"The lowly official found an opportunity to contact the imperial envoy and bribed one of the attendants, and from his mouth, the lowly official learned about it. The imperial court sent an envoy to Haizhou this time, in order to canonize Tang Sheng, the assassin of Haizhou, as the Qing Chi Bo, and rewarded me with the full map of Cangzhou. ”
"What?" Chen Kui stood up violently when he heard this. But in an instant, he knew that he had lost his temper, raised his face, smiled to himself, and asked, "What about below?" Tang Sheng's little boy can take the order? ”
"Pick it up. Tang Sheng rewarded the envoy and served them comfortably. ”
Early on the morning of the third day, a light rain suddenly fell.
On the streets, there are fewer passers-by, and so are vehicles.
In front of the Cangzhou Recruiting Mansion, several guards stood in the courtyard looking at the rain outside, chatting softly.
At this moment, a carriage came from a distance.
The doorman instantly became energetic, and his posture stood upright.
The coachman got out of the car, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and Wu Xiyuan's figure appeared in front of the Recruiting Mansion.
"Lord Wu?"
The celebrity in front of the handsome, Wu Xiyuan, and the guards all knew each other.
Until Chen Kui's study.
Wu Xiyuan asked to see Chen Kui this time, and he brought information that had just been transferred from Haizhou.
Naturally, this information is not too direct, Tang Sheng, a state assassin, a veteran of officialdom, such a person, it is impossible for ordinary people to plant spies around them.
At least Cangzhou Zhaofu didn't have the forward-looking vision, ability, and time to go to Tang Sheng's side to install spies.
Wu Xiyuan can only extract useful content from cumbersome and trivial information and report it to Chen Kui, which is his real responsibility.
"Something with a mouse's eye, I really thought that King Tang was going to be defeated. Just look at the battle situation in Bozhou, and don't look at the changes in the north corner. ”
Chen Kui's current position is still neutral, but it feels like he has been biased towards Tang Wang.
Because he had always paid attention to the situation outside the Seychelles, he knew that King Tang was about to free one hand.
"Xi Yuan, according to you, this is really the case, what is the purpose of the imperial court?" What Chen Kui doesn't understand now is why the imperial court suddenly gave up on wooing himself and gave Tang Sheng the title of Earl Qingchi, which is the state of Cangzhou. It was clear that he wanted Tang Sheng to fight with him. And as soon as this matter is made public, there is no room for relaxation between himself and the court. "Because Tang Sheng is in his sixties, the handsome man has just known the destiny of heaven. Because of Tang Sheng's three sons, none of them became talents. And the handsome five sons, everyone is heroic. ”
"Huh! Hugh said this. Chen Kui was born as a Zhou minister and died as a Zhou ghost, and he had no heart to be a minister. ”
"But it's only the fourth year." Wu Xiyuan smiled slightly, "Dashuai, if it's fourteen years, what if it's twenty-four years?" Would you still think so?
If the Tang king and the imperial court are in a stalemate in the northeast, the marshal will sit firmly in Cangzhou. Ten or twenty years from now, or even a hundred years from now, will you still think so? Don't you want to pass on this inheritance to one of the five sons? ”
"The princes of the court are not eating dry rice. Like Dashuai, he was loyal in the early stage, selfishness was breeding in the middle stage, and ambition was general in the later stage.
Not only the imperial court, but also the Tang King will be on guard. ”
Chen Kui, who had never thought about this, listened to Wu Xiyuan's words. Stupid on the spot.
In October of the fourth year of Yuanwu, when the snow fell.
Haizhou assassin Shi Tang Sheng sent his eldest son to envoy to the court, and at the same time gathered troops to spread the word, officially stood in the court queue, and fired the 'first shot' towards Cangzhou.
It's just that the timing of this 'first shot' is really wonderful, the heavy snow closes the road, and the troops are inconvenient to march and transfer materials, although Tang Sheng has gathered 300,000 troops in Lianyun, he is just sitting in the barracks and riding the main team. None of them took a step to the west.
At this time, Zhu Biao's army continued to brave the snow without care, two or three hundred miles a day, and the speed did not slow down much.
At the same time, the main force of the Tang Army and the main force of the Zhou Army on the Daizhou battlefield, the battle did not weaken because of the arrival of this heavy snow, but became more intense. Both sides knew that October was the last day of their four-year battle in Yuanwu. As the time enters November, the biting cold winds and icy snow will make a war of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars impractical.
Midair. The cold sound of breaking wind swept by, and a huge black shadow flew over the ground, hitting the heavy city wall, and suddenly dust and stones were everywhere.
"Boom!" Loud bangs. From the place where the boulder collided with the city wall, the sound of the impact was so loud that it was almost eardrum-shaking.
The air, which was still clean, suddenly became cloudy.
The defenders of the city first felt a shock to their bodies. A large amount of masonry dust poured into the noses of some of the nearby defenders, and they choked and coughed.
Even their eyes could not see their surroundings clearly for a while.
The falling boulder fell heavily on the ground below the castle with a "bang". Leave a deep kiln nest in the hard ground.
"It seems that the so-called strong walls are nothing more than that." Zhu Biao looked at the rumored Changping city wall, which the Tang army had failed to defeat three times in two years, and was not afraid of the bombardment of large thunderbolts, and whispered.
Of course, his eyesight could see that there was already a pothole at the landing point on the wall that had been smashed by the boulder, and the cracks were even "crackling" and falling downward.
The blow just now obviously caused damage to the city wall, and in the dust and stone splashes, there were also some Zhou soldiers defending the city retreating.
Is it because they found that the thick city wall that protected Changping City from falling before was not as they thought, was it really undamaged?
Hurry up and hurry, and finally arrived at the Daizhou battlefield in late October.
Zhu Biao's 150,000 cavalry did not immediately join the battlefield that was already at the end, and his first order was to revise the whole army for five days.
And to be able to see the impregnable Changping City, it is precisely because of the leisure of five days.
Zhu Biao spent three days systematically understanding the situation between the enemy and us in Daizhou, and then in these two days, he had to take a quick look at the operations on the front line and understand the real combat strength of the Zhou army and the Tang army.
The answer is very good.
It is two notches stronger than Zhou Jun's first impression of Zhu Biao.
This is not difficult to understand, Zhu Biao knows that whether it is the Zhou army or the Tang army, their current main combat forces are the county soldiers and border troops who have been trained for many years in the past. The reason why they were bad at the beginning was because they hadn't really experienced war, and now they are familiar with it. It is natural for combat power to jump two notches.
But Zhu Biao is not afraid. He has 150,000 cavalry in hand, and more importantly, the Tang army is in the capital of Daizhou, and he can't control Zhu Biao's head at all. Zhu Biao, who was holding Tang Wangqin's command card, belonged to absolute independent combat. At most, it is to cooperate with Xing Zuochang occasionally!
Five days later.
The system shows that the morale, endurance, body, and horsepower of Zhu Biao's army have recovered to a state of seventy or eighty.
This state can already be pulled out to fight. If he pursues perfection, Zhu Biao will have to wait at least another five days, but by that time it will be the middle of November.
"We don't fight cities, we don't fight camps. All you need to do is take this, this, this...... Seven points are completely cut off. ”
For this reason, Zhu Biao sent seven 70,000 cavalry, and he held the rest of the army in his hands, and only waited for the Zhou army to come out.
"Then what if Zhou Jun doesn't come out?"
Zhu Wu asked.
It was already freezing and snowy outside, and the Zhou army could completely ignore it and just stay in the city and guard.
"Then let's go down. Spend it until next year, and when spring begins next year, how will you see them? ”
As soon as the seven points were pinched, the entire material transfer system of the Zhou army in Daizhou would die. Perhaps the cities on the front line of the Zhou army, such as Changping City, were stored with a huge amount of grain. A winter could not starve Zhou Jun to death.
However, when the army fights and the people live, they need more than just food. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, since ancient times, there are seven things that have opened the door, and grain is only one of them.
Besides, there are iron tools.
There must be iron in the city, but with the processing power of the Zhou army in Daizhou, can it take care of all the soldiers and civilians attached to them?
Even if they can take care of it, the Zhou army with the transportation line pinched will use up a little less reserves. When next spring comes, on one side is the fully prepared Tang army, and on the other side is a Zhou army that has been eating its old books all winter, and it will continue to fight and fight, continue to consume and stalemate, and the tilt of the overall situation will definitely be tilted in favor of the Tang army.
Everyone understood Zhu Biao's intentions, and the atmosphere in the military tent fell silent.
After the meeting ended, Zhu Zhong and Zhu Tong stayed.
"Sixth brother. Daizhou, we are new to the state, if we don't fight a beautiful battle, bright and bright, outsiders will not be convinced of us?
You have the Qin order card of the King of Tang in your hand, and Xing Zuochang can't control your head. Those Tang soldiers were angry. Can ...... now If you really squat at seven points for a few months, you won't have any results, and it will not only be your people who will be lost, but King Tang will not have a good time. The brethren can't hold their heads up......"
"Can't hold your head up after saying a few words? Do they say a few words to say that our past exploits are gone, or can they say that the dead enemy is alive?
Say a few words, and what you say can only drum up the strength of our fighters one by one. When the time comes, I will scatter it out and see that one is like a howling little tiger.
You can't rush forward with all your strength to lead the troops in battle, and you have to hang your appetite when the time is right.
Our arrow is bright and sharp enough in the grassland. However, when victory becomes a norm, the passion for victory, the desire for victory, is consumed.
Let's shine well in Daizhou, then hope that Zhou Jun will not come out! ”
