Zhao Yong thinks that he is a good general, in the past 20 years of military career, although he has not fought any earth-shattering battles, but he has also led the army to fight in the east and west, and has exterminated some bandits and bandits, among which he is most proud, is to quell the rebellion in Xichun nine years ago, he led 30,000 cavalry, first set foot on the three monks who made a rebellion, and then stormed Xichun City, beheaded the rebellious city lord on the spot, and hung his head on the head of the city for a whole month.

At that time, he was still young, eager to fight the world, and in that counterinsurgency campaign, he did play his own style, so that the subjects of Dayue remembered the name Zhao Yong.

However, it seems to be the end of his battlefield career, he was promoted three levels in a row because of his military exploits, transferred to Nanjiang, became the commander of Nanjiang City, in charge of 100,000 Nanjiang troops, with his age, he is the most outstanding general in Dayue for decades, if nothing else, he will stay here for ten years, and then rely on the recommendation of the Zhao family and the king of Nanjiang to successfully enter the military department, open the general's mansion, and become one of the youngest generals in Dayue.

After being transferred to Nanjiang, the days became dull, he no longer lived in the barracks, but had a huge and luxurious mansion, he rarely led the troops anymore, and even the training on weekdays was handed over to the three henchmen under his hands, and his little heart was also unconsciously consumed, in fact, for him, such a day seems to be not bad, every day to inspect the soldiers and horses who inspect and practice, after noon, go to have a drink with the king of Nanjiang, in the afternoon or listen to music and watch plays, or lead a team of men and horses out of the city to hunt, Nanling is blessed, the prey is many and fierce, it is the best place for hunting。

And he already has two sons, both of whom are clever and intelligent, the eldest inherits his temperament, likes to dance and play with swords, and the younger one is more like his wife, elegant and studious, only seven years old can memorize ten scriptures, very popular with the old master in the city, he himself is also very satisfied, occasionally and his wife will discuss privately, his two sons may be able to become a general in the future, a minister.

So he gradually saw it, for him, it was what he should do step by step, seal the generals and marquis, and lay a solid foundation for his descendants.

Only when there was no one around, he would think of the days when he was a horse, dressed in battle armor, an iron horse jingo, the sword in his hand stained with the blood of the enemy, and his ears were full of rumbling drums and whistling winds.

Sometimes when he dreams back to the past, he can't help but sigh.

I thought that such days would continue, and the time was almost ripe for him to be promoted to the military department, and the king of Nanjiang had already hinted at him several times, just waiting for the old Shangshu in the capital to abdicate and vacate his position, and his appointment would come down immediately.

But at this time, the war between the two clans broke out, and his heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped.

He had an indescribable expectation, he began to pay attention to the war reports in the north and the eastern wilderness, with the expansion of the war, Dayue finally ended, and the army marched north one by one, and it was from then that he resumed the habit of letting go of nine years, and he got up and practiced as soon as it was dawn, and began to personally lead the training of the Nanjiang army.

Sure enough, half a month ago, the news that the Nanjiang Army was going north spread out, and both he and the 100,000 Nanjiang Army were actually ready.

But I never expected that this first battle was not fought with the demon clan, and the opponent turned out to be the three counties.

It made him have mixed feelings.

Nine years ago, he ended his career as a horse fighter with a counterinsurgency war, and nine years later, he returned to his armor with a new counterinsurgency war.

Is it a reincarnation?

He shook his head, no longer sighed, carefully looked at the surrounding environment, Nanling is mountainous, ridged and swampy, although Dayue has built a lot of official roads, but the three counties are the most remote places in Dayue, this official road is not as good as other prosperous state capitals, slightly dilapidated, Nanjiang Army 100,000 people, half cavalry, half infantry, whether it is a person or a mount, are pasted with Shenxing rune paper, like a rapid rushing river, mightily southward, where it passes, even the earth trembled slightly.

They had no intention of hiding their whereabouts.

Along the way, Zhao Yong was very nervous, and when he went deep into the hinterland of Nanling, he was always in danger of being attacked by traditional monks, so before leaving, he almost emptied the inventory of the Nanjiang army, and each soldier had at least twenty spirit runes on his body, and each archer's quiver was also inserted with at least ten spirit arrows specially used to deal with the monks.

Although they can't compare to real monks in terms of cultivation, if it comes to large-scale battles on the battlefield, these 100,000 well-equipped Nanjiang troops are really not comparable to ordinary sects.

However, having said that, Zhao Yong, who had not led the troops for a long time, was still a little nervous, and ordered his soldiers to keep an eye on the surroundings and strictly prevent the enemy's sneak attacks and ambushes.

"General, you're almost in Sunan. The guard whispered in his ear.

He was slightly startled and tensed his strings.

Sunan is one of the three major cities in the three counties, located in the northernmost part of the three counties, has always been rich, the city lord is Ruan Feng, born in the three counties of the Ruan family, as early as a thousand years ago, the Ruan family became the head of the three counties, the locals called the Ruan family the emperor of the soil, even if the three counties were subordinated to the Da Yue, in order to stabilize the situation in the three counties, the Da Yue royal family also had to pinch their noses to appoint the Ruan family as the city lord of Sunan, although the court inserted a lot of nails into the Ruan family to control the Ruan family, but they have been operating in Sunan for a long time, still powerful.

And the Ruan family is also a supporter of the traditional faction, and the Soul Refining Sect, There are a lot of contacts in the Worm Ridge secretly, and the Dayue Imperial Court also knows that the Ruan family has a private army of tens of thousands of people, although they have the intention to pull out this thorn in the eye, but after all, this is a difficult bone to gnaw, and a hair will move the whole body, and if it is not done well, it will evolve into a big war between the new monks and the traditional faction in Nanling, Da Yue has to act cautiously, and although the Ruan family does not stop making small moves, they do a very good job on the surface, and the taxes are handed over in full every year, and if they do not give the court any excuse, Da Yue has no choice but to acquiesce in this stalemate situation.

Today, however, there will be changes.

100,000 Nanjiang troops rushed out of the mountains, on the small plain in the distance, a city with brilliant lights stood quietly, the city was burning with a blazing beacon fire, the two big characters of 'Nanjiang' were shining, Sunan was one of the thirty-six main cities of Dayue, and Nanjiang's request for help also reached here, but judging from the appearance of the soldiers guarding the city, they did not have the slightest intention of waving the army to the north to support, and they were already on guard against the Nanjiang army.

Zhao Yong narrowed his eyes, "Pass the order, this battle is only against the Ruan family and the traditional faction, and it is strictly forbidden for the monks in the army to attack the ordinary people!"

"Yes. The pro-soldier shouted.

Zhao Yong took off the longbow behind his back, pulled the bow and arrows, the spirit armor on his arm flowed with beautiful light, and gradually merged into the spirit arrow, he snorted softly, his legs were forced, and he stood up slightly on the back of the wild beast, and his right hand was slightly loosened, and a spirit arrow pierced the sky in the early morning, and the arrow gradually ignited, turning into a flying fire phoenix in the air, roaring and pounced on Sunan City.

The Nanjiang Army blew the horn of siege.
