Chapter 18—Return to the Plains
ps: In other words, the positioning of the role of Kong Hong is quite complicated, and she is also an important character in the whole plot. In this volume of continental disputes, the specific introduction is that the protagonists help the country to return to unity, and through this part of the country and the royal family's Chen family, there are not complete firearms to counterattack the country together with the Qi State. Of course, there will be a small episode before that, so please stay tuned! The last four volumes will be the climax of the whole book! Meteor would like to thank you for your support, although this book has not been too climactic, and it is not as expected, but I will continue to work hard without being sloppy! Thank you for your support!
In the early morning of the tenth day, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, bid farewell to Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde, and came to the mountains behind Yangcheng from the north gate of the mountain city of Yangcheng. This mountain looks extremely steep from this side, and ordinary people can't organize a battle to attack Yangcheng from this side of the mountain. It was for this reason that the defenders of Yangcheng had almost no troops stationed here, except for five hundred troops stationed outside a recently opened passage in the mountain pass. Elsewhere there were no garrisons because of the steep mountains.
The passage in this mountain is a passage specially opened by the defenders in Zhongyang City in recent years in order to reserve a back road, and this passage is a mountain-like operation. Using some of the fire oil that they traded from the Viku Plains in Yang City, they could be used to blast up the mountain range after they were concentrated and ignited together. Of course, these oils could not be used very well, and naturally caused several casualties among the soldiers. However, the amount of fire oil was very small, so in many cases, it was the soldiers who artificially used their iron hoes and pickaxes to open the way. So, naturally, it becomes very inefficient.
After ten years, the defenders of Yangcheng finally opened a passage, but this passage was very narrow and could not accommodate a large army to enter it for transfer or attack. But it's not a difficult thing to walk with just three people.
Chen Xinyu did not stay here, she left a letter to Kong Hong, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and she had already left Yangcheng last night and returned to Weicheng, the capital of the country. She understood the situation in front of her, and although she had the heart, she could not meddle too much in the situation. And this matter is not something that ordinary people can do, in this case, Chen Xinyu can only choose to believe that the three of them can complete this most critical, and even can determine the fate of leaving the country now. Of course, Chen Xinyu also provided the three of them with the help she could in this letter. Although the old country of Checheng has basically severed its ties with her now, they also planted personal guards in it when they left Checheng, and they have established a large intelligence point. I believe that they can provide some help in their capacity.
Chen Xinyu has now embarked on a path of return, even if this matter is very serious, and it is even close to the point of imminence. But now she knows very well in her heart that the domestic situation is much more serious than this matter, and a big defeat has caused very serious consequences in their country, and many people in the country who are more active have begun to think about the secret contact with the royal Chen family. If at this moment, the news that the royal Chen family is about to develop firearms is transmitted to them when they leave the country, it will inevitably cause a very strong trend, and in this case, she will only become more and more unable to control the situation in front of her.
As a result, Chen Xinyu, who was helpless, could only press the strong desire in his heart to watch these firearms with his own eyes, and could only silently return to Weicheng alone to preside over the overall situation. Moreover, she could only order Wang Yan, who was still stationed in the strategic Songcheng in the north, to lead the army to temporarily abandon the county towns around Songcheng and make every effort to protect Songcheng. Now that she is leaving the country, she really can't stand a defeat anymore. Chen Xinyu knew this, and in the face of the situation in front of her, she could only choose to believe the three of them, and had no other choice.
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, actually didn't care too much about this matter, after all, they didn't have much to do now, and the significance of going south to Beijue County was not very significant. At dinner last night, Chen Xinyu also told them that now the Qi State has begun to counterattack, and through the internal and external cooperation, it is about to carry out operations to counterattack the feudal army that is now divided into troops and has internal strife. In this way, the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, actually have nothing to worry about, they all know Li Fu's military talent and ability to command troops. In the face of such a perfect strategic plan, they will definitely be able to win the final victory, and there is no need to worry about anything else.
However, now the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, are very curious, and take them all the way to the territory of the royal Chen family, who calls himself Kong Hong and seems to have a very large family background. But if she is really a member of the Chen family of the royal family, how can she become a kind of irreversible friend with Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde?
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, were slightly puzzled, they didn't slow down much along the way with this Kong Hong, and after walking out of the mountain passage behind Yangcheng, they naturally appeared on the Weiku Plain. Now there are not many garrisons on the Weiku Plain, because the 50,000 troops led by Zhao Ling have retreated to the territory of the Imperial Chen Family, and now the Imperial Chen Family's army on the Weiku Plain is only more than a thousand people. Therefore, there is no risk for the three of them to blatantly walk on this empty plain now.
Kong Hong's walking speed is also very fast, and even when Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, do not use the fastest light skills, they can't catch up with Kong Hong's seemingly slow steps. The three of them ran at an incredible speed on the plains of Veku, and it was only an hour later. Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, had already seen a county town at the end of the endless plain that stood on the border of the plain.
Kong Hong turned his head and said to Feng Yu and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters: "The county seat in front is Hao County, and that county seat is an important territory in the hands of the royal Chen family. If Liguo can cross the Weiku Plain and occupy this county seat, it can directly threaten the safety of Bincheng, a city controlled by the southern part of the imperial Chen family. Originally, when Her Majesty the Empress sent two armies to the north and south to attack the royal Chen family, the southern army did not cross the Weiku Plain. It is precisely because he has never crossed the Viku Plain that it has directly led to the current situation. ”
Only then did the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, understand that the deep mine where they had gone deep was not far from the Hao County in front of them. If they had been able to directly identify the ambush here, and then further understand the situation, I am afraid that they would not only be able to further grasp the mines on the Weiku Plain, and then take Hao County, but they might even directly enter and occupy Bincheng and the surrounding county seats. By that time, the situation would have been completely different.
The two brothers and sisters couldn't help but sigh secretly, and slowly walked to Kong Hong, who had temporarily stopped his footsteps, and the two brothers and sisters only saw Kong Hong staring at the entrance of the far-reaching and dark oil mine not far away. Feng Shanshan asked curiously, "Sister Kong Hong, what are you looking at?"
After getting to know each other overnight and during the day, the relationship between Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings and Kong Hong, has changed from a somewhat deadlocked relationship to a very good relationship. And Feng Shanshan is a straightforward and optimistic girl, she has established a good relationship with Kong Hong in a short period of time. Kong Hong's main interest in the two siblings was the power in their two siblings' bodies, and she didn't know, or even heard of, the "instrument soul", so Kong Hong was very interested in the content.
Kong Hong smiled slightly, "That is the mine where the oil and ore are mined, and now the royal Chen family has also withdrawn the troops from it, and there is no one here to guard it at all." I don't know, do you two know what's hidden in this?" Kong Hong's eyes glanced at Feng Shanshan beside him, and his eyes were filled with a different kind of smile.
Feng Shanshan's face was slightly red, it was precisely because they were not familiar with this mine that they directly caused them to have no power to fight back when they were accidentally ambushed in the mine, and they were directly caught by the soldiers of the Chen family of the royal family.
"Well, we've probably visited it, but we haven't seen it clearly, and we were ambushed by the army of the royal Chen family. This matter is a very helpless thing, Feng Shanshan can only say two words like this.
At this time, Feng Yuchong also rushed over, and he said with a silent smile: "Sister Kong Hong, do we want to enter this place now to find out, or do we leave directly to Hao County?"
Kong Hong smiled slightly, and a different smile appeared on her face, "You two brothers and sisters, Chen Xinyu has praised you many times, saying that you have clear cognition and keen insight, but it is a pity that at this time, you still don't understand what I mean." Think about it again, what is my intention in saying this?"
"Oh, what does my sister mean by this? Isn't it?" Kong Hongming's clear smile made Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan a little confused, there were so many things that had happened recently, so that they couldn't figure out the situation, and even lost a kind of insight to see higher and farther in the fog. But they are very intelligent and quick-witted, and in a very short time they have already reacted slightly.
