Chapter 207: Death in the Night

"Is the privy envoy?" In the barracks of the front division of the palace, Li Sigui asked Xu Yongzhi.

"That's right, he is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and our life may be even more difficult in the future." Xu Yongzhi sighed.

What Li Sigui asked was Zhao Pu's latest position.

The recent military reform was very fast, Xu Yongzhi was appointed as the commander of the front of the palace, and became the person in charge of the training and daily management of the front of the palace, which was a position of the emperor's personal guard, although not high, but extremely important.

Since Zhao Pu released his military power with a glass of wine, he was considered by Zhao Kuangyin to have made great contributions.

In the blink of an eye, in the third year of Jianlong, Zhao Pu was promoted to privy envoy, and all the transfers of soldiers and horses in the world must pass him.

"Actually, it's Da Sima," Li Sigui said, "My lord, you will be under the command of the emperor in Beijing, and when you go out of Beijing, you will be subject to the restrictions of the Privy Council." ”

"The official family told me before that we might deal with the enemy in Lianghu next year, and if I came to command the attack on Nanping and Hunan, Zhao Shumi's envoy should give me some means to make it difficult for me." Xu Yongzhi said.

Xu Yongzhi is really not unfounded, the thorn in the eye of Zhao Pu is Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, for almost a year, the king of Jin has been particularly dissipated, try to be obedient, really like Zhao Kuangyin's own brother.

In this case, the person Zhao Pu minds the most is Xu Yongzhi, if Xu Jin holds the army and defeats the two lakes, then he will be promoted to an official position such as a privy deputy envoy, which will be troublesome.

"My lord can let Old General Murong be the commander and himself the deputy general, Zhao Pu can't eat Old General Murong." Li Sigui said.

"That's right," Xu Yongzhi clapped his fist on the palm of his hand, "Others may care about the positive and secondary, but my priority is revenge, so why care?" ”

Li Sigui looked at Xu Yongzhi with a smile, feeling that this young man was really getting more and more stable.

"Mr. Li, you have been the prefect of Tanzhou (Changsha), and you are very familiar with Hunan, but there is a Nanping (Hubei) in the middle, if Hunan supports Nanping, how long will we fight?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Two months, three months at most." Li Sigui said.

"What? Don't be kidding, the city wall of Tanzhou is strong, there are many people and food, and it took General Shi Shouxin a few months to fight Yangzhou, and in the end, it was the official family who came out to win the victory. Xu Yongzhi said.

"Because he is Shi Shouxin, Shi Shouxin is not effective in fighting." Li Sigui said with a smile.

Only Li Sigui dared to say that.

Mr. Lee...... You ...... "Xu Yongzhi is not easy to answer."

"Shi Shouxin is a general under a strong emperor, and he fights decently, but he is not the kind of genius who uses soldiers." Li Sigui didn't deliberately damage Shi and keep his promises, he had his own reasons.

"Me neither." Xu Yongzhi sighed.

"The official family beat Li Yun and Li Chongjin, and they all went out on their own, why?" Li Sigui asked.

"I know this, the official family can't let the general deal with the colleagues of the year, but use himself to prove his authority." Xu Yongzhi said.

"That's right, but Jingnan and Hunan are not his subordinates, although they are ministers, they are enemy countries, and only by letting a general fight down can it be proved that the Great Song Dynasty is at ease and fierce generals." Li Sigui said.

"It makes sense." Xu Yongzhi nodded.

"My lord, do you think that Emperor Chai, the official family or you, who is more powerful in fighting?" Li Sigui asked.

"Emperor Chai and the official family are stronger than me."

Xu Yongzhi's words are not sycophants.

He really admits this matter, if you want to say how martial arts the martial arts are, Xu Yongzhi will not be modest, but in the war, he can indeed only rank third.

"Who is the best between Emperor Chai and the official family?" Li Sigui then asked.

"Each has its own merits."

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Their styles are different, the official family was born in the military camp, he has not been afraid of war since he was a child, he has won the hearts of the people, but also the hearts of the army, and he is a brave and fearless person; Chai Huangye was born as a businessman since he was a child, and he was much more flexible in using soldiers, and he was very imaginative in fighting. Xu Yongzhi said.

"That's right, imagination," Li Sigui said, "My lord, you are also an imaginative person, and the people around you are full of geniuses, you don't need to use a rush car or a ladder at all, but you may take a city without blood, which is also a strength that you have, but the official family does not have." ”

Xu Yongzhi nodded.

That's right, Xu Yongzhi's team is a team that can assassinate, infiltrate, and rebel, and has various skills.

Li Sigui walked to the map of the two lakes on the table.

"The Gao family in Nanping has always thought about wealth and nobility, so the etiquette is respectful, when your army goes south, they don't have much confidence to resist, we take the holy decree, claiming to attack Hunan through Nanping, asking them to supply military rations and receive orders, you can directly deceive them out to receive orders, and then send a force to take over the city gate, the overall situation has been decided."

Li Sigui said, pressing the paperweight to the location of "Gangneung" on the map.

"Next, reorganize the army of Nanping, use them as the vanguard to attack the Wuping army, and conquer Yuezhou (Yueyang), Tanzhou (Changsha), and Langzhou (Changde). Wu Pingjun's festival made Zhou Xingfeng seriously ill, and it is estimated that he will not survive this year, his son is an eleven or twelve-year-old doll with no combat effectiveness. ”

After Li Sigui finished speaking, he pressed the inkstone to the "Langzhou" position.

"After the army enters the city, your battle will really begin, and the task of besieging the Peach Blossom Land will be a chore." Li Sigui said.

Xu Yongzhi had already pondered about this matter, and the Peach Blossom Land could not accommodate large-scale soldiers.

Climb the cliff again and seep through the cave of my aunt and grandmother.

Then attack the sluices, send in the infantry transported by the navy, and attack the army of wizards' minions.

Finally, use all the wizards to open the portal, and only need to transport fifty equipped cavalry to change the situation on the battlefield.

If all goes well, break into the Sanctuary of the Wizards' Guild, you can smash the walls of the Peach Blossom Fountain (they are all made by spells) from there, and the army can drive in directly through the mountain pass, and the Peach Blossom Fountain will really be lost.

In addition to the army, there are all the wizards who can be used.

It is not easy to convince the sorcerers who have given up on the Peach Blossom Paradise to dig them out of the folk one by one!

For example, Chen Xiaohuan's parents and grandparents, such as uncles and aunts, and even old people like aunts and grandmothers - fortunately, wizards don't fight physically, and powerful wizards will only become stronger when they get old.

Their opponents were seventy or eighty small families attached to Yu Zhirang, probably more than a hundred wizards, and about five thousand servants, if Li Forsythia still had clay soldiers, non-human and divine beasts.

If he is not careful, Yu Zhirang may play the card of racial danger, making everyone feel that this is a war for amateurs to exterminate wizards, and Xu Yongzhi must emphasize the identity of the son's son to the extreme, so that people can admit that this is a civil war for wizards.

Thinking about the contrast of power between the two sides, it makes people feel risky, you know, breaking into the Peach Blossom Land to make a big fuss, and completely conquering it, is a completely different concept.

That night, Xu Yongzhi tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

"What's the matter, Xianggong?" Duan Meimei asked.

"No matter how I calculate, it's still a big gap compared to Yu Zhirang's strength, especially in the first half, I don't know how much it will cost to break into the Holy Hall." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Hey, don't think about it yet, you're not an immortal, can you conjure up soldiers?" Duan Meimei said.

These words immediately reminded Xu Yongzhi.

That's right, and the gods.

Ancestor Chen, who knows the past and the future, if he can get him out of the mountain, it will be powerful.

In addition, it is really impossible to conjure up troops.

But some of the soldiers that existed in the past can be used?

He rolled over and got up.

"Put on your clothes, let's go find Chen Xiaohuan." He said to Duan Meimei.

"This midnight ......" Duan Meimei rubbed her eyes.

"That's why I asked you to go with me, isn't it inappropriate for me to knock on the girl's door in the middle of the night?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Hey, okay." Duan Meimei hurriedly got up.

The two of them opened the small door in the backyard, and there was a small cross-courtyard over there, where Chen Xiaohuan lived.

"Senior sister, have you slept?" Duan Meimei patted the courtyard door.

Chen Xiaohuan opened the door.

"Not yet."

"Your senior brother is looking for you, I don't know what's going on. Okay, I'll go back to sleep. Duan Meimei turned around and was about to leave.

"You're too broad-hearted, aren't you?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"I don't have to worry about you two, nothing bad can be done." Duan Meimei is really gone.

"Or? Come in and talk about it. Chen Xiaohuan looked at Xu Yongzhi.

"Hey." Xu Yongzhi entered the courtyard and entered the house again.

"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Chen Xiaohuan asked.

"Can a wizard summon the dead?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Necromancy, you must know it, although it is a forbidden technique, you must use it, we can use it at risk." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"I know Forsythia Lee will do this, but I don't want to use necromancy, what conditions do necromancy need to use it?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Corpses." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"That's why we need a cemetery, right?"

"That's right."

"What about the kind of people who have no bones left?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"You mean......" Chen Xiaohuan vaguely understood what he was going to do.

Xu Yongzhi nodded.

"Those who have no bones left will perish." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"So in the wizarding world, there is no such thing as reincarnation and resurrection, right?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"My brother, there are no mortals, think about it, if there is a world after death, you can come back, isn't death so terrible?" Chen Xiaohuan said.

"Oh......"

"Illusion can make you see the body of the dead, necromancy can make the body of the dead stench, but obey your command - but there is no spell that can bring the consciousness of the dead back, not at all, what you met in the tunnels of Tokyo City was not the real emperor, but your life experience, a part of your soul that you are talking to yourself." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"Is it possible that there is such a state that this person is not dead, but is no longer alive, somewhere in between?" Xu Yongzhi asked without expectations.

"How do you know this state exists?" Chen Xiaohuan was taken aback.

"Is there really one?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Yes, those are the cursed." Chen Xiaohuan said.
