“…… It's really, how to put it, why do we always encounter such and such strange things. ”

"Maybe someone's desperate struggle has caused the current situation~"

"I always feel like you know something."

"Uh-huh~ Even if it's a concubine, you can only know what the concubine knows, but you can't know what the concubine doesn't know."

"Hmph~ This kind of words can't fool me anymore, so you know about Yuzi-chan, or you don't know."

"I don't know."

"Wow! Well answered, crisply. ”

"Because, so, I just don't know."

Still lying on the beautiful beach, feeling the cool sea breeze with the salty smell blowing by, listening to the gentle sound of the waves crashing on the beach, and taking a comfortable nap in the warm but not hot sun.

I always feel as if I really don't live in troubled times, but in the modern city that has become more and more blurred.

Of course, judging from Li Shushi's current leisure method - private beach, high-end BMW, countless Smith bodyguards, and a bunch of big beauties around him - this must be a treatment that can only be enjoyed by super local tyrants, anyway, even the average rich and handsome people have to follow the ordinary people to feel the happy feeling of "dumplings", maybe the attraction on the beach is not as good as those sports young people who have not yet entered the society, after all, no matter how mature the charm is, it will lose to the eight-pack abs here.

In particular, the place occupied by Li Shushi is still another dimension in the Jinshitan area, which is quite famous in the north, and it is very interesting to think that the place that will be developed into various high-end residential areas and tourist resorts in the future is now completely owned by himself.

Although the appearance of the place seems to be unsightly except for the beach, at least for the girls who are used to city life, it is really not very attractive.

However, Li Shushi's good mood ended here, or his current leisure life could only be stopped, not because the battle of Yuan Cao in the south had already been decided. In fact, the gap between the two sides now seems to be much smaller than the history of the other plane, I have to say that the appearance of Liu Xie has indeed changed the battle situation extremely dramatically, and the young emperor with the natural legal advantage only needs to walk in front of the formation to make many soldiers of Yuan Shaojun's army on the opposite side shake.

In fact, how can those old courtiers who can follow Yuan Shao to fight until now really have much awe for the emperor who was erected by Dong Zhuo and is now enshrined by Cao Cao. It's just that after all, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty has gone through nearly four hundred years, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty cannot be removed overnight, after all, if Liu Xie is really injured, even if he is not blamed at the time, he will definitely be poked to death by later generations.

This is the power of imperial power, or more accurately, the power of the legal system.

What really worried Li Shushi was naturally the group of troublesome guys who suddenly came out of nowhere in the Guanzhong area.

There are two pieces of information in his hand, one from Huangfu Song in Chang'an City. The other is from Huang Zhong, who is moving towards Guanzhong, and all of them sent information at the beginning of the mutation, and in this era when there is no electronic communication, there is obviously a very huge lag - even if the birds used to transmit the news have worked hard enough, the geographical distance from Xi'an to Dalian is still not a small number of more than 2,000 kilometers in a straight line.

Of course, if there is no big distraction, the message delivery time of less than a week is also a leading technology in this era.

Fortunately, although the enemy army is also an inhuman force that came out of nowhere, there is no need to worry about logistical supply pressure, and at the same time, there is no habit of hunting. Let the birds that deliver the news be able to reach Li Shushi, or more accurately, Su Xiaololi. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to deliver the message in this way.

And compared with the way of delivering the news, Li Shushi was naturally more worried about the battle report that was delivered-

Although it was only one night, it could only be regarded as a tentative attack at most, but it caused the defenders of Chang'an to suffer extremely astonishing battle losses - after rough statistics afterwards, the total battle losses of the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City exceeded 30,000!

Although the soldiers suffered no more than a tenth of the battle losses, even in a brief briefing. Huangfu Song also emphasized that the enemy's "crossbow arrows are strong and penetrating, rare in the world", and ordinary plates cannot stop the arrows fired by the enemy's crossbows, even if they are covered with skin shields. It is impossible to stop the stout giant crossbow arrows fired by the bed crossbow, and only the skin shield wrapped in copper and iron has a relatively good defensive ability.

As for the common people, the houses close to the fighting area were basically affected, many feather arrows shot through the roof tiles, and the window panes and other places were even more difficult to stop the invasion of crossbow arrows, and the unexpected coverage exacerbated the appearance of casualties.

"Even if today's Chang'an City is obviously not as strong as the defense of the former Han Dynasty, but after several repairs by the Spirit Emperor to the present, it has also reached the leading level in the country, and in this case, the enemy's crossbow arrows can still achieve such lethality, and the continuous rate of fire and coverage like a torrential rain are probably the most troublesome place."

This is the conclusion reached by the military generals led by Xiao Qiang and the strategists led by Cheng Yu, and they believe that another important reason why the enemy army has achieved such a huge result in this tentative engagement is that-

"Black clothes and black armor, standing in a place where the black light is blinding, this is not possible to organize a counterattack at all, even if the soldiers are organized to fight back, I don't know what the effect is, if the enemy's offensive is not weakened because of this, the blow to morale will probably be even greater."

Because of the limited information they have, and of course because the amount of information that the birds can convey is not much, Li Shushi and the others, who are thousands of miles away, cannot have a good grasp of the entire war.

The only thing that can be known is that the other party's strength is very strong, and it must not be taken lightly.

As a result, the vacation can no longer be continued, and even the construction of the military port will be greatly affected, but compared to the military port, which will not see any benefits in the short term. Obviously, Guanzhong, as the strategic rear of the future of the Merge State Army, is an extremely important strategic core area in both the short and long term, and once it is lost, the impact on the Merge State Army will be absolutely unprecedentedly huge.

Originally, Li Shushi did not plan to return to the Central Plains so early, but unfortunately the plan was not as fast as the change, which was really elusive.

And just when Li Shushi was about to start the matter of returning. Huang Zhong, the commander of the "Mobile Legion" who stayed in Bingzhou, had already taken the lead in responding - Zhang Liao, as the vanguard team, with 5,000 people and deputy generals Hua Xiong and Fang Yue, had crossed the Yellow River, crossed Tongguan, and arrived at the area of Zheng County in Jingzhao, which is now in Huaxian County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, about 1780 miles away from Chang'an, and there are official roads to borrow for the next journey. In this case, with the luxurious configuration of Zhang Liao's department now, it only takes one day to reach Chang'an.

The reason why Zhang Liao was able to enter the Guanzhong region so quickly was because of the two sides of Yuan Cao who were fighting. The Bingzhou army adopted an attitude of waiting and seeing, which also gave Huang Zhong, who stayed in Jinyang, more leeway for the dispatch of troops and horses in his hands.

Compared with Li Shushi, a guy with a modern soul, Huang Zhong obviously cares more about things like those celestial phenomena, so when several masters, including Sima Yi, reminded him that there was something wrong with the celestial phenomena, he naturally dealt with it with the attitude of "I'd rather believe it than not", and after discussing with Zhang Liao, who was also staying behind, Zhang Liao led the leading troops to go first, and stationed the troops in Taolinsai, which was the gateway to Guanzhong. Monitor any contingencies that may occur in the customs at any time.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liao can react at the first time when the mutation occurs.

He didn't even need Huang Zhong's orders. started the operation at the first time of the investigation, and at this time, it was not more than two days before the incident in Chang'an, Jinyang had just received the news, and Li Shushi was still on vacation.

However, Zhang Liao, who arrived in Zheng County, found that his behavior seemed to be a little reckless......

"What?! You repeat!! ”

"Yes. As you can see below, the company camp is probably more than 800 miles, from Xinfeng to the northern foot of Lishan, from the southern foot of Lishan along the Qinling Mountains to Shangxian, along the way you can see the enemy camp tent that cannot be seen at a glance. Although there was no smoke in sight, it seemed to be dead silent, but I could see the soldiers patrolling back and forth, which looked a little clumsy, but it did not give people a sense of weakness. ”

"General, Gaoling and other places on the north bank of Weishui have also found large-scale enemy camps, and they are also out of sight."

“…… So, in your experience, can you estimate the number of enemy troops? ”

"Because there is no cooking smoke as a reference, I can't be completely sure, but conservative estimates, I'm afraid there are 100,000 people!"

"One hundred thousand...... Where the hell are these enemies coming from?! ”

Zhang Liao really gasped at this time, 100,000, that's 100,000, as long as you think about it, you will feel a feeling of numbness in your scalp. Although it was not that he had never seen an enemy army of this size, or that such an unsightly number was beyond the imagination of human beings, the biggest problem now was not the number of enemy troops, but the fact that the number of troops he had now was only 5,000 men.

Perhaps these 5,000 men can play a considerable role in most battles, but when the number of enemies on the opposite side has reached the scale of 100,000, the 5,000 men will only be completely annihilated with a single plop like a splash in the sea.

What made Zhang Liao even more helpless was that in addition to Chang'an City, the enemy army could not see whether it had fallen for the time being, and the rest of Xinfeng, Baling, Duling, Lantian, Gaoling in the eastern part of Chang'an, and even Xiatai County on the north bank of Weishui, not far from Zheng County, had fallen to the enemy-those scouts obviously couldn't really get close to those cities to investigate, in fact, the endless camps outside the city had already discouraged them, not to mention the inhuman people who didn't need to eat were enough to make the living feel afraid and panic.

So as long as you see the smoke rising from a few cities, you can basically be sure of the result.

In other words, for ordinary people, under the attack of this boundless army, it is too difficult for a small city to be preserved, and even Zhang Liao, who heard the scout's return, did not think that those cities could support it.

Even if it hasn't fallen yet, as long as the enemy forces use more force, it will be a matter of time.

Not to mention that their opponent is a group of non-humans who came out of nowhere, even if it is an army composed of ordinary people, 100,000 people. There is a large group of black pressure all over the mountains, even if they stand still and let Zhang Liao's troops kill, they don't know if they can solve the problem when they are exhausted.

Zhang Liao was depressed, Hua Xiong and Fang Yue, who were traveling together, were also not much better, the three of them sat together for a long time but couldn't come up with an idea, it stands to reason that the three of them are not generals without decisive ability. But the current situation is really overwhelming for them.

"No, we can't go on like this!"

The impatient Hua Xiong slammed the helmet in his hand to the ground, and his figure had already turned around in the camp tent for an unknown number of times. They had been wandering here for a day and a half, and although they had not yet received the order from Jinyang, they could still hear the sound of the enemy mobilizing troops at night, and naturally they could feel the tremors coming from the earth.

Every sound seemed to hit their hearts, causing them to toss and turn.

Chang'an City needs reinforcements now, at least let them feel the possibility of reinforcements coming to the rescue. Strengthen their determination to defend the city, otherwise the lonely city cannot be defended for a long time is definitely not an outdated teaching left by the old man, but the most accurate grasp of people's hearts.

"But what can we do, we can't cause much trouble to the enemy at all, but we may bury our people here, and hit the morale of the troops even more."

In fact, Fang Yue also knew that this would not work, but when there was no way, he would rather seek stability, or since he was defeated by the Xiliang Army. The Hanoi-born general became a cautious general.

Naturally, you might be overthinking that he's scared out of the coward. But he never showed radical feelings when he was out of the state army.

"I don't know if you've noticed any ......"

Although Zhang Liao's tone was very hesitant when he spoke, he looked like he couldn't bear it, but when he noticed that the attention of the two people had been attracted by him, and he made the appearance of listening attentively, his eyes suddenly burst with the light of "plan".

"These enemies who don't know where they come from seem to have a habit."

"General Zhang, what do you mean...... They don't send troops during the day, they only make a big show at night. Take the initiative? ”

Before Zhang Liao finished speaking, Hua Xiong frowned, but judging from Zhang Liao's upturned brows, Hua Xiong's thoughts coincided with Zhang Liao's.

"But if the enemy does not attack, it does not mean that the enemy does not have the ability to attack......

Fang Yue instinctively wanted to question it, but in the end, his voice became inaudible.

"But this is our only chance. Otherwise, such a huge gap, several old generals in Chang'an are afraid that it will be very difficult to handle. Therefore, it is necessary to send troops to fight, to fight hard, to break its sharpness, in order to appease Chang'an, and even the people of Guanzhong, then Chang'an can be defended.

Moreover, it is necessary to know that this Guanzhong area is the most important strategic rear of our army in the future, and the lord has always been reluctant to face the two armies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time because it is difficult to start a long-term tug-of-war with the enemy army with the strength of the two states, which makes the lord determined to restore and consolidate Guanzhong, hoping to reach the rich Guanzhong of the former Han morale. In addition, the strategy of the lord's westward expansion on the surface was only for the sake of local interests, but in fact it was also to detonate the problem of the Qiang people outside the country and prevent them from going deeper into Xiliang. The destruction of such a huge strategic plan by an unknown enemy at a time when it was just beginning to gain momentum is not only the greatest provocation to us, but also an obstacle to our accomplishment of the great cause of dominating the world. Do we really want to watch so many years of hard work go to waste, do you want us to miss such a great opportunity as Yuan Cao's rivalry and then miss the whole world! ”

"General Zhang......"

"General Hua, will you be willing?"

"How is it possible, Lao Tzu still wants to let his children and grandchildren live a good life, the Lao Ye family has suffered enough in the north in the past few decades, I don't want my children and grandchildren to go to such a dangerous place to graze for others!"

"What about you, General Fang? Do you think this is really satisfying for you? ”

"This ...... Actually, it's not bad now, it's better than I used to be. ”

"But if there is no lord, can your general be able to have today!"

"I ......"

"Of course, I didn't force General Fang to agree with what I just said, this kind of nine-death thing is completely voluntary, if you are involuntarily coerced to go to the battlefield, I'm afraid that even one percent of your strength will not be able to exert one's strength."

"It's just that there are many thieves and I am outnumbered, General Zhang's method is too risky, it is better to hold on for a few days, and wait until the reinforcements from all sides gather, and then it is not too late to make plans."

"You have selfish thoughts, but you don't care about the lord's affairs. No matter what, I must personally fight today to let the enemy know that there is another person named Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan in My Prefecture! ”

After speaking, no matter what kind of expression Fang Yue had on his face, he beckoned his guards to prepare war horses and armor for himself.

"Okay, you Zhang Wenyuan, you can't be authentic, are you planning to put me Huaxiong in a place of disloyalty and injustice. Even if Xiong really has any selfish intentions, it is impossible to admit it at such a time, let alone talk about courage, I, Huaxiong, admit that I will not lose to others! ”

"Haha, since Bo Ying is willing to help, I have a little more confidence in victory!"

"It doesn't matter where he comes from, as long as he dares to stand in front of the lord, let you and I drive them away!"

Pan Sen: "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", maybe as a well-known person on Bilibili said, such a film will definitely not cause tearing - because the protagonist is China, and the plot rhythm of the whole film is not coherent and full enough, and even if you put aside the ED part, even if it is not very good among instant noodles. But......

But why the sand in the house is full of sky, and why the paper towels around me are decreasing, probably because of how small and simple the difficulties I have experienced and the various difficulties I am experiencing now are compared to that scene. The rabbit deserves to be the protagonist of this drama, and he is the protagonist who has the opening artifact, but since those difficulties can be overcome and come to this day, what reason do you have to be frustrated.

So, at worst, this is also the most determined instant noodle fan, he can tell you, even if it is a rabbit, as long as there is a strong dream in your heart, you are willing to pay for it, you at least have a chance to fall on the way to realize your dream, instead of sighing your powerlessness on the side......

Finally, I recommend ED, "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" sung by the Gala band, which is really a perfect match for those stories and makes the whole story sublimated. (To be continued......)
