Chapter 40 - Hiring in the Wind

With the arrival of spring, the Demon Spirit Continent gradually radiated a new vitality, and at the beginning of spring of this year, Zhongcheng, located in the northwest of the Demon Spirit Continent, came out with an earth-shattering edict, and the initiator of this edict was the Saint Emperor of the generation of the feudal country who had changed the name of the year and officially ascended the throne as the emperor. That is, the sect leader of the Feng War Society, the former largest force in the feudal country, issued an edict that he had prepared a long time ago, ordering the feudal state to prepare for war on all fronts, and preparing to immediately launch a military operation against the already overstretched Qi State.

This time the attack of the feudal country should be very well prepared, through the mobilization of more than 200,000 people to transport military rations, plus the feudal country has not experienced war over the years. The Feng Zhan Hui and the Guangwu Jun forces were fighting each other, and they were only secretly confronting each other, and there was no head-on competition, and the people were still normal in production and life, and there were no changes brought about by the "cold war" between the Feng Zhan and the Guangwu Jun forces.

The country of Qi is different, the country of Qi has had frequent internal strife in the past two years, and the situation caused by the civil strife is very terrible. The people of the entire country of Qi were unable to develop and live, and the war caused them to be basically unable to live. The people are miserable, and the domestic food reserves of Qi are not sufficient, and in the face of the heavy burden of mobilizing more than 100,000 troops now, it is somewhat unbearable for Qi to bear. In addition, there are not many people who can be recruited by the Qi State now, and many of the current people have fled to the feudal country. The number of people who can be kept in the Qi State is far less than that of the feudal state. It should be generally said that the current Qi country is weaker than the feudal country in all aspects.

The Fengguo is now three armies, the two armies of Fengchi and Yunpin in the north have been assembled, and the Holy Emperor of Fengguo has successfully requisitioned the most elite army of the two feudal countries through the Guangwujun token that he has already mastered, and the two armies of Fengchi and Yunpin have begun to mobilize on the border, ready to attack Qi from both directions at any time. With the majesty of the two armies of Fengchi and Yunpin, and the monstrous battle, it is not a problem to capture Que Cheng and Donglin Pass.

In the southernmost part of the feudal country, the 50,000 troops of the Feng Zhan Hui also began to mobilize, cooperating with the Guangwu Jun army that was guarding a part of the southern part of the feudal country, and the Holy Emperor also mobilized this part through the Hu Fu token of Guangwu Jun, and the army of more than 20,000 people joined the army sent by the Feng Zhan Society. This army has formed a full 50,000 troops, and the goal of this army now is to break through the city where there are less than 15,000 troops now garrisoned.

The armies mobilized by the three sides of the Qi State were also facing the battle in the direction of the invasion of the three sides. It's just that, even if it is also a three-way attack and counterattack, the number and quality of the army are too far apart. However, this is also the only response that Li Dan, the prime minister who is now in power in Qi State, can make. A part of the army he secretly mobilized had previously thrown some of the dark chess, but now he has not achieved any good results. This also made Li Dan's mood very complicated, and he couldn't tell others, so he could only stare at the distant and deep imperial city beyond the Kowloon steps alone, waiting for the messenger to come back.

However, even though there are not many troops, there are indeed few generals who can lead the troops. In addition to Chen Jie, a general with both civil and military skills, Li Dan of the other two armies could only choose the royal family to lead the troops. In the face of the two armies of Fengchi and Yunpin, the only thing Li Dan can rely on is the team that went to persuade the two Feng brothers, Sun Zhao, and the grandchildren of Xia Yu Wangjue, which is also the last part of Li Dan to rely on.

The troops were divided into three places, and the army left behind in Xuancheng, the capital of Qi State, was less than 10,000, in addition to the 5,000 Zijin Forbidden Army, the other 5,000 troops were forcibly transferred by Li Dan from Que Cheng to guard the royal city. However, even so, the army guarding this glorious Qi King City still seemed to be overstretched, and there was no way out. Only by reducing the number of guards on the royal castle that cannot be attacked for the time being can the three surrounding areas that are about to be attacked be saved. Otherwise, if the two armies of Fengchi and Yunpin attack together, Qi State will really not be able to resist.

Now, more than 40,000 people in the Fengchi Army have changed their leaders, and the original leader Feng Yan and Feng Li, the leader of the Yunpin Army, have been removed from their official positions and become a prominent official, and have left the power center of the two armies. However, the influence of the two Feng brothers did still exist in these two armies, and they always existed as a faint leader of these two armies. Of course, if the two Feng brothers leave the court for too long, they will gradually be forgotten. After all, there is a change of personnel, and no one will always remember the two of them.

Now, Feng Chi's army has gathered near Shengcheng, ready to meet the next opportunity to attack the border of Qi territory at any time. The only possible opportunity for the Qi State is for the two Feng brothers to come forward and temporarily delay the offensive speed of the Feng Chi Army and even the Yun Ping Army through the military power and power of the old general. If this is the case, the pressure on the northern border of Qi will be much less. There is even a small possibility of turning defeat into victory, reversing what is now almost irreversible.

Outside Shengcheng City, a rare commotion in decades, the current leader of the Fengchi army is temporarily the deputy general of the original Feng Yan, and he has always respected Feng Yan the most. It should be said that this is also a relatively wrong decision made by the Holy Emperor. This lieutenant general is now stationed in Shengcheng with the Wind Gallop Army, preparing to respond to the possible cries of the two Feng brothers in this way through a temporary garrison and a certain period of rectification. Of course, this lieutenant general also secretly gathered a part of his troops, ready to remove the hidden line of the Sealing Battle Society that the Holy Emperor had planted in the Wind Chi army. Also ready to respond to the two Feng brothers at any time. However, now the lieutenant general, the commander of the Wind Gallop Army, has stationed his army in Shengcheng on the orders of the Holy Emperor.

As a result, the campaign of the feudal kingdom was not carried out this time, and there was already a part of the possible civil strife within them. However, Qi really doesn't know about such a situation, otherwise Qi would not choose to take the risk of dividing into three lines to resist the invasion of the feudal country, which is also a helpless move.

However, now, on the surface, the three key armies of the feudal state have been carried out in order to the place where they are preparing to attack. However, during this period of time, Qi was still in a passive and even crisis. In this upcoming battle of the Demon Spirit Continent, there is an undercurrent surging in it, and no one knows where it is heading. No one can say who the victory will belong?

Shengcheng, outside the city is now bustling. The people welcomed this army, which had once been the pride of their city. Although the two Feng brothers did not have any prominent families, they were after all the more outstanding people in this slightly lonely city. The people brought the newly brewed spring wine and freshly baked fruits and vegetables to the army. Yuan Yu, who was originally the deputy general of Feng Yan and is now the chief general of the Fengchi Army, welcomed the people with his sergeants and sang and danced together. It seems that he didn't take the matter of attacking Qi to heart at all.

Although Yuan Yu is now the main general of the Wind Gallop Army, he also knows that this Wind Gallop Army is not just listening to his command. Many of the members of the Feng Zhan Guild who were inserted by the Saint Emperor of the Sealed Kingdom seemed to be something that could not be changed. However, Yuan Couch's current step-by-step arrangement, singing and dancing from time to time to delight the people, made some members of the Feng Zhan Society hidden in it secretly worried, and transmitted the news back to Zhongcheng, the capital of the Feng Kingdom, through the unique channels of the Feng War Society. Yuan Yu, the current commander of the Fengchi Army, is just at ease with the people and is not very willing to go to the army. Let the Holy Emperor remove it. And the real purpose is to let them, the members of the Sealing War Society, hold the sovereignty of the Wind Gallop Army. Rather than using it as a possible force to restore the Guangwu Monarch.

Even though Yuan Wa's military and political vision is inferior to that of the two Feng brothers, after all, he has been in the army for more than 20 years, and the military experience and strategic depth he has accumulated are no longer comparable to ordinary people. He is also secretly accumulating his subordinates and troops, and has sent some cronies to control the grain and grass in the Wind Gallop Army, ready to remove the "cancer" at any time.

Feng Chijun has always been loyal to Guangwu Jun and loyal to the existence of the royal family of the feudal country, and the two Feng brothers did not say these words less when they were in office. As Feng Yan's loyal lieutenant general, Yuan Yu naturally couldn't bear the erosion of the forces of the Sealing War Society into their forces, so he deliberately did something that was easy to be caught by others, and then prepared to control the Feng Chi Army as a whole through iron-fisted means. Then he united with the Qi State to launch a wave of counterattacks, but now Yuan Yu knew that it was not the right time, because the Holy Emperor still had 100,000 elite soldiers and dozens of fierce generals in his hands, and once this army learned of his rebellion and sent troops, he would not be able to resist.

Yuan Yu naturally has a back-up move, he and Wei Ben, the general who is now in command of the Yunpin army, are brothers who were born and died, and the two of them are also generals loyal to Guangwujun. Now it is also a last resort to take power, Fengchi and Yunpin, among the two armies. Yuan Yu had secretly sent a few cronies to the Far North to persuade his brother to set things right with him and re-support the enemy of Guangwu Jun, Ling Feng Wang Buqi, as emperor.

Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue, who originally came to persuade the two brothers Feng Yan and Feng Li to help Qi State, are still in Maoling, and they are accompanied by that Lingfeng King Buqi in Maoling to find the royal secret treasure handed down from the feudal country. Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue didn't know that even if they didn't find the two brothers, Feng Yan and Feng Li, there was already a fatal rift in the two armies. Although this rift does not seem very obvious now, and there is no danger, it is all because the Emperor of the Feudal State, the Holy Emperor, now has 100,000 elite soldiers and a Xuanyi women's army in his hands, and the two armies do not dare to act blatantly. Everything is waiting for an opportunity. The same is true of the Qi State, the same is true of the Feng State, and even more so is the two armies.
