To the east of the Yue Stop, there is a tributary of the Wei River, where some boats were originally parked, and at this time these boats were being burned, and on the other side of the river, the Chu people waved their flags;

On the other side of the river, a group of knights stationed here, looking at the flames on those ships, their expressions were invariably indifferent.

Liang Cheng rode a horse and stood at the front of the military formation, and the armor on his body had been damaged in many places, but fortunately, he was a zombie physique, even if the armor's defense was broken, his own physical defense was also amazing, plus the battlefield fighting, he was coldly stabbed or arrowed, which was also amazing, and basically would not give the other party a second knife or let himself be hit by a second arrow;

In any case, he is not his own master, and he can be hit by trebuchets in the rain all the way on horseback.

Therefore, although Liang Cheng has injuries on his body, there is no big problem.

On the other side of the river, the cavalry of the Imperial Forbidden Army led by Xiong Tingshan was not very numerous, and when they came, they were only six or seven thousand, playing a game of cat and mouse with themselves on both sides of the Wei River for many days.

In the south direction, a huge Chu military village has been erected, and the banner of the Dugu family is accompanied by the fire phoenix flag, fluttering in the wind.

This is an extremely large pressure, but Liang Cheng has no worries about it.

The lord of his own house is not there,

To a certain extent, it is also a kind of unshackling.

Although most of the time, the master of his own family will not interfere with his command and completely delegate power to himself, but when making his own decisions, he still has to take into account the feelings of the master.

For example, will it make the Lord feel aggrieved?

For example, whether it conforms to the Lord's aesthetics.

But the real battlefield, in fact, is the most intolerant of these things, in essence, it is still to preserve yourself as much as possible at the same time, to consume the enemy to the greatest extent.

When the army was divided, Liang Cheng had 4,000 horsemen, and after so many days, there were still 3,000 horsemen left.

The loss, in fact, is really not big, but the effect he has played is extremely considerable.

"General, the ship is gone."

Zhao Qi, who was beside Liang Cheng, spoke.

It was he who got the news from Xianghao who revealed it to Uncle Zheng, and also helped Liang Cheng take down this Chu people's horse farm, and after that, he has been following Liang Cheng.

The owner of this singing class looks like a woman, but he is really good at riding and archery, and at the same time, his luck is also excellent, without receiving special care, he has been able to follow the team closely and has not died in battle, and he has not even been injured in the body.

Liang Cheng thinks,

This kind of luck on the battlefield will definitely be envious to the point of crying.

"If it's gone, it's gone, there's no need for it."

Liang Cheng looked calm.

Zhao Qi asked again, "Then ...... General, what should we do next, what to do, what to ......... Where to go? ”

Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the Chu cavalry on the opposite bank,

Road;

"Well, I should have asked them."

………

On the other side of the river, Xiong Tingshan held a water bladder in his hand, drinking water from time to time, since he was assigned to Wutong County by his father more than ten years ago, he has developed a habit, that is, when drinking water and eating, the amount of the day will be solved at one time.

Eating is not only troublesome, but also careless.

This is the experience he gained from fighting with Shanyue people in the mountains and forests in those years.

He felt that he was already very much like the most orthodox hunter in the mountains and forests, if he took off his armor and the python robe that belonged to the prince, and smeared some mud on his face, he could take his wife and children to enjoy himself freely in the mountains and forests without hindrance;

But since the Yan army on the other side of the river,

To be exact,

is the commander of the Yan army,

Suddenly, he realized,

In this world, there are people who are more experienced than themselves......... Prey.

If the other party is really the prey.

From Yangcheng, he led his troops to gallop over, even if the news came from the rear that Yangcheng was besieged by a Yan army, he did not retreat after receiving the order, and continued to the north.

The purpose is to recover Jingcheng and reopen the grain route.

He succeeded, and Jingcheng was quickly recovered, because the Yan generals on the opposite side had no intention of defending it at all.

And

It's not Jingcheng that you have recovered,

The walls were demolished,

The house was burned down,

The once bustling dock city is now only a black ruin.

Then

began a mental journey that made him angry at first, then calmed down, and then helpless.

Recovering the dock is only the first step, and next, the transfer of grain and grass is the key, but the Yan general on the opposite side has exerted a great effect with a small number of cavalry, and has suppressed the transfer of grain and grass to the greatest extent.

He didn't let you not get a grain out of the north, but he made it very difficult, painful, and inefficient to make you very difficult.

In Xiong Tingshan's view,

A qualified general fights a war with rigidity and dogma;

An excellent general fights a war, just like being a man, showing a kind of tactfulness;

And the real one who is very good at using soldiers is like a carver, and there is such a sense of ingenuity.

The general of the Yan Army in front of him, who has been dealing with him for so long, is the third type.

In the beginning,

Xiong Tingshan thought that the one who was fighting with him on the other side was that Dayan's Uncle Hirano.

Later, after receiving the second decree, he learned that the Hirano Uncle was actually behind him.

so

Who is it that has been playing against yourself for so many days?

It is reasonable to speculate that it should be the part of Uncle Hirano who divided his troops here after taking Jingcheng, and his general should also be a member of Uncle Hirano.

If it is said that a general under the command of Uncle Hirano can have such amazing ability, then how amazing should Uncle Hirano's ability to use troops be?

Fire, still burning.

Xiong Tingshan's mood also calmed down a little, no matter what, after the other party lost the boat, that kind of movement across the two sides of the strait could no longer be done.

And at this time,

The soldiers and horses of the Dugu family have re-established their camp at the old site of Jingcheng.

When the time comes, he will go west, Dugujia will go north, and Zhennanguan will respond again, and under the troops on three sides, this lone army will be surrounded and annihilated, it is only a matter of time.

But it doesn't make much sense to annihilate or not annihilate this Yan army, because in Xiong Tingshan's view, the purpose of leaving this lone army here has actually been achieved.

Inside and outside Zhennan Pass, hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers eat horses and chew a huge number every day, and after so many days, the grain stock over there is obviously about to run out.

The grain road has been broken for so long, and the military heart can still be stable, so it's really a hell.

Of course

There is one of the most terrifying possibilities,

Xiong Tingshan didn't want to think about it,

I don't dare to think about it.

This prince, who has been in Wutong County for more than ten years,

originally thought that he was a man who knew about the army, he could comfort the Shanyue tribes, and he could conclude the emperor's heart, the world was big, and he always had a chair after leaving Wutong County;

But after going north,

Really feel the pressure from that black dragon flag,

He suddenly felt that

In the face of the general trend,

Still so weak and pale.

No matter how difficult the Shanyue tribes are, it is only difficult;

And the empire with the name "Yan",

But it has the terrifying strength to completely overthrow the Great Chu Jiangshan Sheji.

Time

Xiong Tingshan suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart,

The country is in a difficult situation,

I knew that I wouldn't have left Wutong County, so I was messing around in the mountains and forests.

Seems pretty good too?

Shaking his head,

Get rid of these unrealistic thoughts in your head,

Xiong Tingshan stretched out his tongue and licked his lips,

The long knife pointed forward,

Road;

"Crossing the river."

………

"Are you surnamed Xiong or Dugu?"

Dugu Mu, the old head of the Dugu family, looked coldly at his own children standing in front of him.

He is, the pride of the family;

But at this time, Dugu Mu was really helpless.

"Dugu family, or not the courtiers of Da Chu?" The swordsmith asked rhetorically.

Dugu Mu sneered twice,

Road;

"Do you want to learn from Tian Wujing?"

The swordsmith shook his head.

"Actually, even I'm very curious, whether you can kill people or not, right now, you and I are so close, I'm old and weak, as long as you have one of the four great swordsmen, fifty percent, no, thirty percent, even, as long as one percent of the ability, you can draw your sword and kill me."

The swordsmith continued to shake his head and said, "I don't want to be Tian Wujing. ”

"But what are you doing now, what's the difference between what you did back then!"

The swordsmith was silent.

"This battle, the more you fight, the more it doesn't taste, I kind of tasted it, I thought it wouldn't be, it couldn't be, it shouldn't be, but now, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it's true."

Dugu Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, that is, to the south,

Road:

"Tell me, what does he have to rely on to dare to borrow the sword of the Yan people to collect his own imperial power?"

The Swordsmith remained silent.

"He's really not afraid, this big Chu Jiangshan Sheji will be collapsed by him?

said that the sky is broken,

This Da Chu,

It was Xiong's down,

But back then, if there were no ancestors of our family who accompanied the Xiong family to fight together, how could there be today's Da Chu?

It's just that he's sitting in that position.

It is natural to think that

This Da Chu,

Is it his family's?

Why,

Why

Do you want to face it?

It is the family that has given you no worries about food and clothing since childhood, it is the family that has given you inexhaustible materials to make swords, and it is the family that has found you countless precious sword records;

you

If you were born in a poor house, and you could only be busy all day long for a living and a bite of food, where would you have the opportunity to make a sword and do what you wanted?

You eat the family's and use the family's, and enjoy all the good that the family gives you, and now, you actually want to use the family as the sole of your shoes to elevate your own feelings for your family and country? ”

The swordsmith spoke;

"He said that he would give us a decent look, and he would not learn from Ji Runhao."

"The emperor's words, you also believe it, are you making a sword and making your own brain stupid?

There are no soldiers,

There are no fiefdoms,

Just bearing the name of a nobleman,

Then he, the emperor, doesn't he knead us as much as he wants?

Such a nobleman,

Said to be a nobleman,

It's really not as chic as a rich man! ”

No wonder Dugu Mu is angry,

Originally, Dugu Mu wanted to relieve the siege of Yangcheng first.

As a result, the regent's will arrived, and he was sent to the Wei River to set up defenses and reopen the grain route to the north.

This is the purpose of the great righteousness,

Don't hesitate to continue to put yourself in danger, but also think about the big picture.

But what kind of person is Dugu Mu, that is the old Xiangrui who has lived a fine life.

He instinctively guessed the problem here, the regent, that is, the emperor of Great Chu, to put it mildly, Zhennan Pass was lost, and the loss of the regent would be a bigger blow to Great Chu.

"How do you want to do that?" The swordsmith asked, "Like now, delay the main force to cross the river?" ”

"The reason why the main force is not allowed to cross the river is because there is a Yan army behind it, and the rear is unstable, how to cross the river? The old man is here, he must be thinking about how to fight this battle, and he will fight again with his mind, this is the way to die! ”

"Yes." The swordsmith nodded.

silent

Long

Dugu Mu spoke;

"Decent, there will be, right?"

The swordsmith spoke;

"The Yan people are here, we don't have any dignity at all, that's why the families are so desperate, at least, in the face of this, you can still ask:

Right? ”

"Huh............ Hahaha............"

Dugu Mu stretched out his hand, picked up his handsome seal, and put it in front of the swordmaker.

Road:

"Decent or not, it is for people to see, and the calculation of accounts can only be calculated by looking at the market;

You said

Can

Since he Xiong wants to borrow a knife to kill people,

Then I'm Dugu, why don't I 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light'? ”

Dugu Mu coughed dryly,

Continued:

"Take advantage of the fact that we have enough money in our hands, let's discuss and sell ourselves at a good price?

Anyway, it will be sold, horizontally and vertically,

The one with the highest price wins,

Isn't that right?

Although he Ji Runhao stepped on the door valve, the emperor's judgment was extremely fierce, but it was for him Yan Kingdom, and he could not realize his ambition without stepping on the door valve.

Right now

Not to mention his age, nor the current situation of his Yandi Jindi, let's talk about the problem of his body and bones that have been rumored all along.

What's the matter,

Abandon darkness and turn to light,

It's not going to be bad, is it?

Zhuguo didn't think about it,

But the Situ family can be crowned a prince of Cheng, and the remnants of the Jin Kingdom can be crowned a king of Jin, and our Dugu family does not seek to be crowned a king, but a prince of the country, okay?

That's right, that's right, he Yan Guo is stingy with the title, okay, make a marquis?

I am rich and rich, and I will not lose money to help him guard Chu Land, right?

This kind of emperor, his heart can be very small, but in the same way, his heart can also be very large.

Well?

What are you laughing at? ”

The smile on the swordmaker's face grew brighter and brighter,

At last

It was hard to stop,

Road:

"I told him that."

Dugu Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then he, what do you say?" ”

"He said, why did you choose you as the last one of the nobles to lead the army?"

"Why?"

"Because, you love Da Chu."

"........." Dugu Mu.

"You love the rhythm of Da Chu, you love the rhetoric of Da Chu, you love the gorgeous clothes of Da Chu, and you love the elegance and romance of Da Chu.

For these,

You won't be able to descend swallows,

Let the rudeness of the swallow people,

Ruined the 800 years of beauty of my Great Chu!

He also asked me if I would like to be the great Chu Tian Wujing;

I said, I don't want to, I can't do that kind of thing, I can't stand that kind of suffering.

He said

It's okay.

And he said,

If there is one more person in Da Chu who is willing,

That is,

You. ”

Dugu Mu gritted his teeth,

At last

"Poof",

sat down in the handsome seat.

"Heh......"

"Hehe......"

"Hehehe......"

Dugu Mu clenched his fists violently,

The handsome table in front of him collapsed directly,

This weather,

Where is the slightest hint of old age?

Dugu Mu almost roared angrily:

"Lao Tzu, your grandmother's ancestors!!"

………

Inside and outside Zhennan Pass, it was still quiet, as if nothing had happened, as if the Yan army they had blocked was still in their north.

And to the south of Zhennan Pass,

The Yan armies of all walks of life were so arrogant that they ignored the Chu army and wantonly rode their horses.

Several Yan troops stayed in the south of Zhennan Pass, as if they were waiting, waiting for the Chu army in Zhennan Pass to come out by themselves.

They are not hindering, they are just guarding.

But in his demeanor, he looks like a barbarian on the desert grazing and looking at the sheep in circles in front of him.

Thanks to the most elaborate division of labor in advance, each Yan army had its own goal after bypassing Zhennan Pass, and although the army was huge, it did not look bloated at all.

Of course

Shanggu County is just a place where the army is stationed and rectified, because next, the army will inevitably continue to move south.

otherwise

Where did the army's supplies come from?

A hundred years ago, after the first generation of Zhenbei Hou broke the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Qianguo, the horses stepped on the three sides of the Qianguo, and there was an extremely important reason in it.

If you don't have food at home, if you don't want to starve to death, you can only go to your neighbor's house with a bowl to eat.

Under the banner of the king,

Tian Wujing rode Pixiu and looked at Zhennanguan, which was already located to the north of him.

Nian Yao's quietness, he was not surprised, but this too quiet was slightly beyond his expectations.

Because

Nian Yao is not himself,

He can ignore all the pressure from the court in the rear, and of course, there is no pressure to speak of.

Nian Yao is different,

He's a minion,

How dare he keep his head so stuffy that he doesn't even let out a scream?

Tian Wujing's eyes were a little thoughtful, but there was no worry.

The soldiers are strong and strong, on their own side;

As long as you occupy this one,

so

No matter what plans the Chu people have, what plans they have,

It's nothing more than a compromise in the midst of decline.

Ben Wang,

I don't want to guess what you're planning.

Because

And you will not know,

What the hell does this king want to do?

At this time, a group of cavalry passed through the outer defenses and came under the king's banner.

The person who came was Liang Cheng.

Xiong Ting crossed the river in the mountains,

Liang Cheng didn't choose to attack half-crossing,

Because there's no need for that.

The game of peek-a-boo is over, and next, it's time for the child to be naughty and disobedient.

Though the Lord is not there,

But Liang Cheng was still trying his best to save some of his future family foundation for his master, so after contacting Li Fusheng's department, Liang Cheng immediately rushed to the Wang flag in person.

The king of Jingnan knew Liang Cheng,

didn't wait for Liang Cheng to pay homage to himself,

King Jingnan asked directly;

"What about Zheng Fan?"

"Lord Wang, after my uncle took Jingcheng and burned the granary, he left the last general to hold the Chu people's grain road hostage here, and the uncle personally led the army to continue to take the Wei River south by boat to Jinggi in Chu in order to attract the attention of the Chu people."

Tian Wujing heard this,

Bow slightly.

It is undeniable that although he looks very reluctant every time he asks Zheng Fan to do something, once he really does it, he will always surprise you.

Tian Wujing said:

"Order, the rest of the troops will act according to the original strategy, and the headquarters of the Jingnan Army will be one town, two towns, and three towns, and immediately go south with this king out of Shanggu County."

After the military order is delivered,

King Jingnan asked while reaching out and casually grabbing a few handfuls of Pixiu's mane under his crotch:

"What did Zheng Fanke leave for this king?"

Liang Cheng hesitated,

At last

Nodding,

Because, the lord did leave him a sentence, but, Liang Cheng really didn't want to relay it, but since Tian Wujing asked, he could only say;

"Back to the words of the prince, there is."

"Say."

Liang Cheng took a deep breath,

Road:

"The prince save me!"
