On the eastern border of the Xuancang Empire, there are mountains towering into the clouds here, and the mountains form a mountain range from south to north with no end in sight.

This is also the natural dividing line between the Xuancang Empire and the Hidden Dragon Empire, but now this dividing line has been broken by the Xuancang Empire.

On the top of the mountain, a figure in a black robe stood with his hands in his hands, watching the dawn rise on the horizon, and his appearance became clearer and clearer.

This is an extremely handsome middle-aged man, with silkworm-like eyebrows and bright eyes that seem to be able to perceive the opportunities of heaven and earth.

Under the high bridge of the nose, there are lips that do not lose the overall proportion, and his whole face seems to be carved by a knife, looking like a man's toughness but a little feminine.

But the most conspicuous thing about him was the long hair that draped behind him, which was split in two from the center, dark black on the left and pure white like snow on the right.

This handsome middle-aged man is Zhong Ming, the great military master of the Xuancang Empire, and he personally went out with the Qianlong Empire this time, which shows how much attention the Xuancang Empire attaches to the ancient battlefield.

There were two young people beside Zhong Ming, who also stood with their hands in their hands and looked into the distance, but both of them were very consciously standing one step behind Zhong Ming, and their eyes flashed with a little reverence.

"Mo Yang, in your opinion, what is Hong Yan's intention in letting those 10,000 captives go at no cost?" Zhong Ming's voice carried a bit of old vicissitudes, mixed with pleasant magnetism, so that people could know that he must be a handsome person.

The young man on the left said, "In my opinion, there are only two possibilities for him. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"First, for half a month, we ignore Shen Mingyang and them, they must be dissatisfied, Hong Yanzheng can take advantage of this to make a big fuss, if it is me, I will add fuel to this matter, let Shen Mingyang and them go back with emotions, once Ma Yiwu can't explain that there is no reason to rescue, more than 10,000 people may completely break out. ”

"But how can more than 10,000 people stir up any storms?"

"To know that people's hearts are the most elusive, once Shen Mingyang makes trouble, the only means in Ma Yiwu's mind is to suppress it by force, although it can suppress more than 10,000 people, but what will other soldiers think, not only will the friendly soldiers not go to the rescue, but you will kill them when they come back, which will undoubtedly bury a cancer in everyone's heart, if the Ling army attacks at this moment, it will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Zhong Ming nodded, and a touch of appreciation appeared in his eyes, these two are his protégés, he has received countless apprentices in his life, Mo Yang and Sword Evil are the two most brilliant, so as long as there is a big event, he will take these two with him to sharpen them.

"One is said and done, but what about the other?"

"The possibility of this is relatively small, but it is also possible, Hong Yan has completely convinced Shen Mingyang and them by some means, to put it bluntly, more than 10,000 people, including Shen Mingyang, have returned to Qianlong, but just like one of them, in vain concluded that Hong Yan's purpose is to slowly disintegrate Ma Yiwu's army from the inside. ”

Zhong Ming didn't speak, in fact, he had already guessed what Mo Yang said, and he just wanted to hear if there were other insights.

"Hong Yan, this young man, should not be underestimated, but what is more careful is the Su Yu next to him, it is said that this person has studied the Dao of the Xuan Bing, and this method is from the hands of that Su Yu. ”

"To Xuan Bing Dao?"

Mo Yang and Sword Evil both looked at each other with a look of surprise, they were obviously not unfamiliar with these four words.

It is said that those who have learned the way of the Xuan Bing have no battle that they cannot win, and there is no one who cannot be dealt with, but this way of war has long been lost, and how can they not be surprised to hear that the enemy has studied this work.

"The current Ma Yiwu is estimated to have already attacked Shen Mingyang and them, Sword Evil, do you have any remedy?"

The sword evil's appearance is ordinary, but his eyes are revealing a fierceness that ordinary people do not have, this kind of look comes from his perennial sword cultivation, and the long sword wrapped in strips of cloth behind his back is much brighter than his appearance.

Hearing Zhong Ming's question, he said, "Divide the forces under Ma Yiwu to Jiang Yu and Feng Renxiao, and you come forward to explain the reason why there is no rescue." ”

Zhong Ming's words are concise and powerful, but they are undoubtedly the most effective, Zhong Ming's weight in the Xuancang Empire is almost no less than the word emperor, and his appearance is naturally convincing.

But Zhong Ming still didn't understand why the Sword Evil wanted to disperse his forces, and seemed to sense the doubts between him and Mo Yang, and the Sword Evil continued, " Ma Yiwu is stubborn and self-serving, although his cultivation is not bad, but his brain is too rigid and stiff, and his personality is also very impulsive and irritable, with all due respect, he is not suitable for leading troops to fight, these 300,000 troops will have to be buried in his hands sooner or later, it is better to plan early, and the arrival of reinforcements from the Qianlong Empire, if we really concentrate our forces to attack any side, it is possible to make us suffer heavy losses, so dividing Ma Yiwu's forces to Jiang Yu and Feng Renxiao can prevent the enemy from attacking in a big way. ”

Zhong Ming didn't say anything, but he already understood the meaning of the sword evil, and this black cauldron let Ma Yiwu carry it alone, and then in exchange for the concerted efforts of 300,000 soldiers.

Zhong Ming sighed and said, "But he is a master of the Spirit Transformation Realm after all. ”

Sword Evil shook his head and said, "Cultivation can't represent everything after all, unless he can cultivate to the level of surviving the Spirit Sea Tribulation, the Spirit Transformation Realm can kill 10,000 or even 100,000 people, but after all, he can't kill 200,500,000 or even 1 million." ”

Mo Yang, who was on a plate, suddenly spoke, "In this case, you can also let other resourceful soldiers take Ma Yiwu's place?"

"So...... It's good. Sword Demon thought for a moment and said.

"Ma Yiwu's surname is Ma after all, think about this matter for the teacher, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a pigeon flying from the sky, Zhong Ming frowned and stretched out his right hand, and the pigeon stopped on his forearm.

Opened the paper tied to the pigeon's leg, and after a short time, Zhong Ming's expression moved slightly, and then he handed the note to Mo Yang and Sword Demon.

The two of them carefully examined the contents of the note when they were puzzled, and when they finished reading the last word, they couldn't help but gasp.

"What a terrible Su Yu, what a terrible Xuan Bingdao!"

Mo Yang couldn't help but exclaim, the content on the note was not complicated, but he just explained in detail the matter of Yun Feixue and Miao Buren crossing the river into the barracks.

Of course, there is a more important piece of information, Jiang Yu, who was guarding Wancong Mountain, was completely annihilated, Jiang Yu himself and several generals were all captured, and when Ma Yiwu rushed over, Wancong Mountain was already bleeding into a river and was dead silent.

In the end, even Ma Yiwu's 150,000 soldiers were persuaded to rebel, which is really impressive. ”

Zhong Ming's expression remained the same, as if there was nothing in this world that could make him mess around, despite the loss of 150,000 troops plus one Jiang Yu.

Mo Yang sighed and said, "It seems that there is no need for us to find other reasons to remove Ma Yiwu's position." ”

The sword evil said, "I don't understand, is that young man really sure that he can take all the families of these 150,000 soldiers out of the Xuancang Empire, how is this possible?"

Mo Yang's expression became solemn, and he said, "Since these words came out of his mouth, he must be completely sure, otherwise these 150,000 soldiers can't see their relatives, and how can they listen to him, once these 150,000 soldiers really cause chaos inside, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"The Xuancang Empire must have the power of this person, otherwise it is impossible to take away millions of family members in a short period of time, this is simply unrealistic. Zhong Ming's expression sank slightly.

Obviously, this number and this person's arrogant words attracted his attention, and he knew that although he did not move, the Hidden Dragon Empire would definitely not give up.

But the enemy's tricks and methods are so amazing that he is not afraid to attack him head-on, but the opponent does not do it.

"Their military spirit has been shaken, and they are even planning to betray the Xuancang Empire at any time, how should we deal with it?" Mo Yang said thoughtfully.

There was silence on the top of the mountain, the sun was already shining on the earth, but their hearts were at the bottom of the abyss at the moment, and after half a pillar of incense, Zhong Ming suddenly spoke, "Make a list of these 150,000 soldiers, and the list of their relatives and dependents will also be listed." ”

Mo Yang's face was shocked, "Master, ...... are you?"

Zhong Ming said, "Since they have already betrayed their hearts, they naturally have to pay the necessary price, besides...... It is not true that they can take these people's families away from the Xuancang Empire. ”

"You...... Are you going to get ahead of Hong Yan and the rest of these families?"

Zhong Ming nodded, "This must be done, maybe we have been too merciful recently, they seem to have forgotten the iron laws of the Xuancang Empire, whether it is the opponent's means or not, these soldiers have a heart of betrayal, then they should be killed." ”

"Yes...... But now is the time of fighting, and if these soldiers know that we have killed their relatives and family members, the consequences will only be even worse. Sword Demon said from the side.

"Naturally, now is not the time to kill them, first detain them, and when this battle is over, not a single one will be left, including these 150,000 soldiers. ”

Zhong Ming's expression is still flat, but this sentence is enough to show that he is ruthless as a military advisor of a country, and such a thing as treason is absolutely not allowed to happen in his eyes.

But it's a pity that he never seems to have thought about why 150,000 soldiers would be so easily swayed by the enemy, he won't think about it now, and he believes that he won't think about it in the future.

"Actually, the battle with the hidden dragon is secondary, we just need to drag out the time and attract everyone's attention to this war, the ancient battlefield will naturally be ignored, even if someone knows, it is believed that it is impossible to spread it on a large scale, the fewer opponents, the greater our harvest in the ancient battlefield, as long as we can get those things in the ancient battlefield, even if the million army is wiped out?"

Zhong Ming's eyes flashed with bright brilliance, and what he cared about most was the ancient battlefield, as he himself said.

Although the purpose of fighting with the Hidden Dragon is to include the ancient battlefield in his own territory, it is more important to attract the attention of others, and with these two points, the ancient battlefield can be captured by the Xuancang Empire.

"Master is wise!" Mo Yang and Sword Evil said at the same time.

Within the territory of the Xuancang Empire, an invisible storm seems to be brewing and slowly raging everywhere.

Of course, for ordinary people, they naturally can't feel the coming of this kind of storm, they only need to take care of their three meals a day, and doing their own work is the most important thing, how can they have the energy to pay attention to other things.

Bihai City, a medium-sized city, a fairly wealthy family in the city is bustling at the moment, and more than a dozen people are sitting around the round table.

"I heard that after this battle, we can take half a year's vacation, and then we can reunite with Fan'er. ”

It was a woman who looked a little rich, her eyes shining with anticipation, she had been separated from her son for too long, and she had missed her for a long time.

The man sitting next to her sighed and said, "Yes, I haven't seen Fan'er for a long time, and he can't make a name for himself there, so it's better to ask him to retire when he comes back this time." ”

"Hey, this time he fought with the hidden dragon, he couldn't come back to his father's birthday, the laws of the empire are too ......"

"Shh......h

The young man next to him who didn't finish his words was covered by the middle-aged man, and at the same time he looked around cautiously, for fear that some stranger would hear it.

After a short time, nothing unusual came from them, and they breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, let alone talk about this kind of thing in public." ”

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the door of the huge mansion was suddenly slammed open, and then a group of soldiers rudely rushed in and surrounded them while they were eating.
