Chapter 41: The Southern Army
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a few days have passed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Book Library] [].. []
In the past few days, Nian Qiang has taken Wang Qiang to go out early and return late, visited many nobles in Dragon City, participated in several unique banquets, and came into contact with many upper-class people. In just a few days, it can be said that Wang Qiang has gained a lot of knowledge, he has lived a lifetime, and all the social life added up is not as much as these days.
Slowly, the time of the original Dragon City joint meeting quietly approached.
Early in the morning of this day, flags were fluttering inside and outside the Dragon City. The city's dirty roads were washed with clean water overnight, and some prominent buildings were covered with colorful silk on the eaves. On the street near the lake, a large number of young and old people lined the curd, and these conscripted city dwellers held small buntings in their hands, yawned, and looked numb for a moment, as if they were convulsing.
Dragon City is located in the plains and hills, the city is afraid of only a little higher than the surrounding area, but in this Ma Pingchuan land, a little higher is also very conspicuous, the first moment of the sun's birth, after the sun crosses the horizon, shining on, is the endless artificial lake of Dragon City.
The waves are sparkling and flowing, without a hint of dazzle. With the first rays of sunshine came a huge convoy.
This convoy came from the south, and there were as many as twenty vehicles! At first, a giant ironclad locomotive was huge, the front of the locomotive inlaid with welded steel horns was as hideous as a ghost, and the navy blue paint was covered with black and red blood stains.
The wheelbase of the giant ironclad locomotive is extremely wide, almost occupying two-thirds of the road surface, which is enough to show domineering and arrogance, it is conceivable that such a locomotive will take the lead, drive along the way, but anything that is not long-sighted, will be ruthlessly knocked into pulp, even mutated zombies will not be an exception, think to paint those blood stains is an example.
On this beast-headed ironclad locomotive, a flag is waving in the wind, and on the flag, the word "Li" of an ancient seal of the big one catches people's attention.
The other vehicles that followed the beast's head and iron armor were much smaller in size, but the angular loading guards all revealed a faint killing atmosphere. If someone from the military system is present, they will immediately recognize that all the vehicles in this convoy are vehicles belonging to the combat sequence!
Dragon City is the military and political center of the alliance, the core of the Long family, and the forbidden place of the military.
No one can make a mistake in the core strength of the Long family, except for the Long family itself, of course.
But now, someone drove the convoy of chariots into Dragon City and went straight to Tianma Manor, with a momentum and domineering.
However, the troops stationed in Dragon City did not react in the slightest, as if this act was taken for granted. The people on the edge of the street are a little excited, the murderous convoy, the roar of the locomotive like a beast, all make the people who love to watch the excitement of the people.
"Hehe, feelings make Lao Tzu get up early, and it is this convoy that greets him? Which uncle is so pompous? A middle-aged man asked with a yawn.
"Don't you know how to read? That character is the word Li! Except for the one in the south, who would dare to put such a score in Dragon City? A well-informed guy said.
The middle-aged man who was yawning instantly came to his senses, grabbed the arm of the person who spoke, and asked, "You mean the god of war is here?" ”
"Then you still need to ask, isn't this the banner of Li Zhanshen? If you look at the navy blue turtle pattern on the chariot, it must be the Southern Legion. ”
"Ahh The gods of war have actually come to Dragon City, and the specifications of this meeting are so high! ”
"How do you know it's high? Do you know the inside story? ”
"I said, why are you so stupid, Li Zhanshen has come all the way from the South China Sea, how low will the standard of this Dragon City joint meeting be?"
On the Tianma Manor of Longcheng Lake, Zao Wou-Ki was looking across the lake, and when he saw the convoy of the Southern Army unscrupulously heading towards the lake, Zao Wou-Ki let out an inexplicable strange laugh: "I have heard people talk about this Li Runzhi before, and they all say that he is arrogant and arrogant, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, I don't know whether it is true or false, but when I see it today, I believe that the rumors are true, I don't know why Long Gong can indulge him so much?" ”
Standing beside Zao Wou-Ki was a middle-aged man in civilian clothes, with a thin face and a pair of eyes between his black beard that seemed to be enough to understand everything in the world, and he had a little bit of wisdom and shrewdness.
The middle-aged man sighed and said slowly: "This is also because the situation is stronger than people." Since Fanxi City was captured by the tide of zombies migrating from Shu three years ago, the supply of coal, iron and oil within the alliance has to rely on the south, especially refined petroleum energy, and has to rely on the export of sea. ”
The middle-aged man who spoke was the second son of Long Xiaoyuan, the head of the Long family, named Long Yuanyang. Long Xiaoyuan has three sons, the eldest Long Yuanqing is currently in charge of the entire central region, and holds the command of the Central Army, and is actually the master of the alliance of the next generation. The second is this Long Yuanyang. Long Xiaoyuan originally had three sons named Long Yuanshan, who was the most outstanding one in the second generation of the Long family, but he died in the war to open up the territory in his early years.
Counting up, Long Xiaoyuan also has a deceased eldest brother, although Long Xiaoqian has been dead for many years, he has also left a room of people. Therefore, the Long family is prosperous, and there are as many as fifteen people in three generations in Long Xiaoyuan's room alone.
It seems that the entire military power has been captured by Long Yuanqing, but in fact, Long Yuanyang's power is also very great.
In the eyes of outsiders, Long Yuanyang usually does not show mountains and waters, and often lives in Tianma Manor to serve his father, but in fact, he is really in charge of Longcheng and dispatches all directions, and Long Yuanqing is just the implementer of many decisions.
The two brothers have cooperated internally and externally for many years, and have not heard any rumors of discord. According to a series of measures formulated by Long Yuanyang, the Central Army has achieved various set goals in an orderly manner, and the factions of the Central Army have also grown year by year, gradually climbing to the top spot of the five major power groups in the past 10 years or so.
At this time, Long Yuanyang was talking eloquently: "If Brother Wuji can let the Northern Army take the southern part of N Province and occupy the oil fields and mines there, our alliance will not be so dependent on the South China Sea, and there will be no energy crisis like the one now." ”
Zhao Wuji replied with a cold face and pondering: "Actually, I don't hide it from Brother Long, I have always had this intention, but there are too many objections within the family, and my nephew is a very assertive person, if he doesn't nod, I'm afraid Demon Spine City will not move a single soldier after all." ”
Long Yuanqing smiled: "Speaking of which, your Zhao family is really different, Zhao Wuxian has been killed in battle for ten years, and I can't imagine that his residual power is enough to deter the northern forces, until Zhao Junhou sits firmly in the position of the lord of Zhao." In this case, if you change to another house, I am afraid that you will get up early. However, in my opinion, Zhao Junhou Jun's military strategy is still acceptable, but his heart seems to lack ambition. ”
This seemed to be a bit sarcastic, and Zao Wou-Ki was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he also said with great restraint: "Mr. Yuanyang doesn't know, I watched my nephew grow up, and I know his temperament better than you." Although the military marquis is a little arbitrary, he is also generous, and he thinks that I am in harmony with Zhao Lord, and all the elders and uncles can also enjoy their old age in Demon Spine City, which is an extraordinary blessing in this troubled era. No matter what the military marquis does, he will never be like some families, for the sake of power, they will squeeze out all their uncles, ah, haha, look at my mouth, don't talk about this. As for the military marquis, he has never been able to make up his mind to go on the Northern Expedition, it is also because the northern land is bitter and the population is insufficient, and a war related to the entire northern pattern will affect the rule of the Zhao lord if it does not achieve the expected results. ”
Zao Wou-Ki brought a knife in his words, who didn't know that when Long Xiaoyuan was young, he ran around his eldest brother Long Xiaoqian, and was always taught by Long Xiaoqian.
When Long Xiaoqian was in charge of the Long family, he did his best to take good care of his younger brother, from reading and reading to marching and fighting, Long Xiaoqian taught him by himself, and finally cultivated Long Xiaoyuan into an excellent military politician.
However, after Long Xiaoyuan died in his own room, he was completely squeezed out of the power center of the alliance by Long Xiaoyuan, and several nephews who had some ability also died on the battlefield in vain, and people with a little bit of the alliance's historical concept could guess that this was not an accident.
