The first battle of Yanzhou, slaughtering the bloody army that has been famous in the south for many years, can be regarded as stepping on the name of the former immortal god general Chang Dingfang, although it is not considered to have really fought with this peerless general, but the patriots, or the main battle faction within the definite country, now what they need is such a good news that can continue to raise morale, appease the people, and cover up casualties, where will they care about such a little flaw, the entire patriotic country, including the most reserved literary circle for the praise of martial arts, for the youngest little general Xie Houyin, who spared no effort to tout and elevate, and even praised it to the status of the first general in the south, if it weren't for the descendants of the founding general Wei Chilin, who were still there, they would almost have stepped on this one together.

Of course, the thousand-mile rush that used the mobility of the cavalry to the extreme, he did perform it extremely brilliantly, and it can be said that it was flawless.

But the Yanzhou army is not a group of useless straw bales after all, on the contrary, although it seems that the Weijin coalition army is marching all the way, and there are almost no rivals on the way south, but in fact, every battle they encounter on the way is an absolute tough battle, and they are fought like this one after another, and no matter how brave they are, they can't bear it.

Encirclement and suppression of the bloody army and the sniper retreating Xiong Zhen army, these two are even more difficult to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, these Yanzhou soldiers, as long as they feel that they can't leave, they will never turn around and flee, one by one is to die to drag a cushion back, Yanzhou men's bravery and belligerence, so that the patriots have to be deeply admired.

Xie Houyin was seriously injured because he had been the leader and had never rested because he had been running continuously, but after cultivating for these days, his body was almost better, although he still left some hidden diseases, but there was no way to do it.

Where will there be those who march and fight without being wounded?

After the most important siege battle, he was only in command, and he would never go into battle in person, so just such a small injury would not affect too much, at least, it would not affect too much when he was young.

These days, he seldom stayed in his own tent to recuperate, preferring to run outside alone, either standing at a safe distance looking at the enemy walls waiting on the opposite side, or looking at the cloudy sky overhead.

He was silently missing someone.

To be precise, it was the girl who was still in Qiliancheng.

I don't know what she is doing now, do you ever know what she is doing in Yanzhou?

You should know, right?

After the end of this war, with his military exploits, he should be able to take the initiative to propose to the emperor.

Although he knew that His Majesty the Emperor had always had high hopes and favor him, and now if he took the initiative to propose, it would actually be even more impossible to refuse, and it would also boost morale, but he still wanted to wait until he became famous, and then go to her, he wanted to prove that he was worthy of her, and he wanted to prove that he must be stronger than that person!

------------------

Jiangzhou, Yongzhou, Haizhou, the three wealthy families, rarely abandoned the previous suspicions, in the face of common interests, choose to join hands in advance and retreat, the same spirit, joint cooperation and chaos.

The wealthy lords of the family, it is really not that they boast about themselves, they are indeed the real mainstay of supporting a country.

Although the number of people is large, it is a plate of scattered sand, and their strength cannot be condensed in one place, and it will not produce a threat that is enough to shake the country's capital, but the wealthy lords of the family are all based on the clan, unite with each other, and become in-laws, and as long as the leader and the patriarch decide a direction, all the people will work in that direction in unison, they put their own interests first everywhere, plus the accumulation of hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, the power that can be used at a critical time is far from what ordinary people can imagine.

There is a good saying, there are a lot of thousand-year-old families, but the thousand-year-old empire can be counted on one hand, and now the Great Zhou Dynasty in the atrium, the national fortune has extended to this day, and it will only be a thousand years.

The rulers of all dynasties, for the wealthy lords in the territory, are not based on the policy of dividing and suppressing and appeasing the friendships, once there are those who want to move the interests of the entire family class, at least the reformers will withdraw from the field and the career will be cut off, and the worst will be a dynasty has been overthrown because of this, cholera for decades, and there is no such precedent in history.

Even the current generation of Emperor Liang stood out from many princes and was able to inherit the unification, and even Taizu Gu Qiguang established a country in the south as an outsider and laid down this huge family business, in fact, there is a shadow of the support of the local family behind it, not to mention that the four imperial concubines in one dynasty, except for a lowest-status Concubine Liniang, where are there civilians?

This wave of waves set off by the joint efforts of all the families in the three places, not to mention the government, even the local garrison, can not be properly solved, not to mention that they each have a private army of domestic servants in their respective families, behind the entire army, there must be a big family to contribute money and efforts, otherwise with the national strength of Da Liang, no matter how rich he is, he will not be able to support such a huge number of troops, in other words, once he offends all the big families, the court will not even be able to pay the soldiers silver.

How many officials in the army of a place are related to the family, and how many people in the government of a place are related to the family?

Although in order to avoid this kind of collusion between officials and businessmen, generally speaking, locals cannot be local officials, but don't forget, this time it is a chaos in the alliance of the three families, and how many of the hidden forces in the shadows are intertwined, which is simply a network that ordinary people can't imagine.

In short, now all the soldiers and horses in the entire three places have been restrained by the wealthy lords of the family who took the lead in the rebellion, not to mention galloping to help Liangzhou, their own situation is precarious and crumbling, and the three places can temporarily stabilize without major incidents, and then involve the energy of Liangzhou, I am afraid that the imperial court will burn high incense.

--------------------

Daliang Beijing, at this moment, is even more gloomy, and people's hearts are panicked.

Many people now want to escape and don't know where to go, because according to the news from all sides, the entire Daliang is now full of wolf smoke, and there is no way to hide anywhere, many people have already accepted their fate, if one day in the future, the enemy army, or the rest of the rebels from all over the country really enter the capital, even if it is just to leave an intact city, it will not be too much, after all, it is just a change of masters, and they will not be killed.

Even if there are really crazy people who don't care about their reputation and just want to loot money from the capital, it shouldn't be something that the common people should worry about, and the officials and wealthy businessmen in the city should be the most worried.

Anyway, the people don't have the ability to leave, so they just have to get by, thinking that one more day is a day.

This has led to the fact that the people of the entire capital, who were the most proud, proud, and looked down on outsiders in the past, and the people of the capital, who regarded themselves as the top people, have become the most fearful and demoralized places because of a series of defeats in the front of them, and many people are now drunk all day long.

Most of the cellars in the restaurant have been unsalable.

The wine sold by Lao Huo Restaurant, because the wine taste is the strongest and the stamina is the most intoxicating, ordinary people can faint all day after drinking a glass, and now it has become the most popular bestseller.

The people of the whole capital are impetuous, the hustle and bustle of the past, and everyone's face is full of longing for the future and self-confidence on the street, but now it is difficult to see people anymore.

Even the "market supervisors" set up by Jing Zhaoyin himself have now lost their role, because the hawkers will not be out of stalls at all.

The people on the street, all of them are in a hurry, with their heads down, wrapped in clothes, walking forward quickly, occasionally a few people who walk slowly, are also drunk, drunk in the daytime, staggering, not in shape, muttering vaguely "The patriots are coming", "Everyone run" After shouting, he laughed, laughed for a while, and began to cry again, and after crying, he pointed to the sky and began to scold the court for inaction, and then he leaned against the edge of the wall and began to vomit, and after spitting up, he fell directly to the ground and began to sleep.

Prices are now rising three times a day, and most of the most basic rice and noodle shops have closed.

At this time, in fact, there are many people who want to make a fortune in the country, hoard grain and accumulate things, and then sell them slowly to earn a huge amount of real money, but in the capital under the emperor's nose, in the only capital that is still legally bound, there are no such bold people for the time being, and even the wealthy merchant families in the imperial city, most of them have been ordered by the imperial court to "borrow grain" and distribute it to the people.

The short old man, with a thick beard that was more than his hair, sat quietly on the edge of the restaurant, holding nothing in his hand, this old man of the local clan who usually likes to drink the most, but this time he didn't want to drink anymore at all, he just put his calloused hands on his knees, looking at the slightly dim sky in the distance.

Maybe it was boredom, or maybe there was some underlying reason, and he suddenly remembered someone.

That's his old Huo, one of his best friends in this foreign imperial capital, well, it's second only to that high-spirited young man many years ago, think about it, they should be regarded as grandparents and grandchildren?

------------------------

In Qilian City, people go to the empty building, because this is no longer an outpost of the defense line, but the starting point of the entire defense supply line, a large number of supplies are sent from here, and the street can no longer see the small merchants and vendors of various countries in the past, and she can no longer find anyone to sit down and chat.

Those ordinary people, their lives have been forced to change in this way, and under the general trend, the fate of individuals seems so humble.

Duanmu Nanli has been bored here for a long, long time.

didn't want to get out of the mansion, not only because of a tragedy caused by her willfulness at the beginning, but also because she already knew that her brother had finally ascended to the throne he dreamed of, and she knew that he had already gone south.

The war between the two countries finally began.

She didn't understand anything about the war, but she did have an uncomfortable feeling from the bottom of her heart.

Because she remembered that the person who saved herself was from Liangguo.

Born in two countries, and now they are enemies, it's not anyone's fault, maybe it's just fate.

The only thing that can be regarded as half good news is that after Duanmu Shuofeng ascended to the throne in the imperial capital, he soon launched a stormy purge with the help of his previous plan and mayflies, from top to bottom, without letting go of a little horn.

Now even if there is still the idea of beating her Duanmu Nanli, she has lost that ability and courage, so she can come and go freely for the time being, and even only need to bring one or two trusted servants, anyway, everyone knows that there will be no fewer people who are ambushed in the shadows to protect her.

But she was still not happy, she actually wanted to go to the place called "Huangsha County", judging from the map, it was not too far, just a few days away.

But she can't, because she also understands that she is her brother's weakness, and she must not fall into the hands of the Liangguo people and become the other party's means to threaten her eldest brother, even if she trusts that person from the bottom of her heart, but she can't take this risk.

If it weren't for the tragedy at the beginning, she might have gone by temperament, but many things don't have so many ifs, aren't they.

She crouched by the window, her eyes empty, looking at the clear sky in the distance, her beautiful face suddenly wrinkled, and there was a hint of melancholy.

She lowered her head, her fingers running over her white skin, and muttered.

In the vast sea of people, you and I meet, but you and I are separated.
