In the Sumeru Hall of the Yue Imperial Palace, Emperor Chen Haisheng of Dayue was furious again: "What's the situation?"

"Xiongguan Tianmoat, 20 million elite soldiers, plus my imperial uncle, a generation of famous general Chen Siyi personally guarded. How could it be that the www.biquge.info Lonely Mountain, Nanxiu City, and Gongga Pass were all lost overnight?"

"The northern defense line that Yue Guo has painstakingly managed is even more fragile than the tofu scum project?

"East Factory, West Factory, Jinyi Guard, the eyes and ears of the world, how did they become deaf and blind?

The old eunuch Yan Gonggong of the West Factory shook his white eyebrows, and said in a shrill voice:

"Your Majesty, in fact, the little fans of the West Factory had information five days ago, but it was just ......"

"Just what?" Chen Haisheng said angrily: "Okay, you Yan Baimei, you dare to hide such important military information, you want to rebel?

Gonggong Yan hurriedly knelt down and said, "The old slave was wronged, but His Majesty has been in Cailuan Palace for the past five days and has not allowed anyone to enter or leave, so he has delayed the time." ”

"Is this my fault?

Metropolitan Governor Zhou Ziwei dissuaded: "Your Majesty, the Chu army's surprise attack this time is a dereliction of duty on our part, and it is not the responsibility of Yan Changgong alone. ”

"In fact, there has been a stir in the past half month, but I waited for the cabinet to react too slowly, and we are still conducting preliminary strategic discussions, and there is no substantive plan, so we were caught off guard. ”

Prime Minister Lu Chengting also said: "Now that the northern natural danger has been torn open, the troops of the Chu State are directly aimed at the core of our country. The most urgent task at the moment is to quickly reorganize the armed forces for war. When the Chu army is driven out of the territory of Yueguo, it is not too late to investigate the crimes of the ministers. ”

Chen Haisheng's anger did not subside, but it was inconvenient to slap the two giants of the cabinet to death at once, so he just waited to take a breath and said slowly:

"Then, according to the opinion of all Aiqing, how should we deal with it?"

Yu Shi Xiao said: "Your Majesty, although the northern core pass is open, I don't expect the Chu army to dare to go south, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Chen Haisheng asked with his hand resting at the end of his beard and tilting his head.

Xiao Bei replied calmly: "The two mountains of Lonely and Gongga in the north, centered on the Thunder Rain and Dew Battle Fort and the South Embroidery City, the terrain is like the wings of a goose. Although the Chu army occupied the central axis, including the Sangliu Plain, it was unable to deploy too many troops. ”

"The two major armies of our army, the east and west, occupy the lonely and high places of Gongga, such as pincers to restrict the deployment of the Chu army. ”

"The Chu army that has entered the territory of our country is still facing logistical pressure, and it is estimated that it is close to the limit of 500 million troops that can be invested in the short term. ”

"This amount of troops is not enough to threaten my Minyue Plain. Therefore, the Chu army will inevitably focus on defense, rely on natural hazards, slowly accumulate strength, and wait until the difference in strength narrows to a certain extent, and then attack the core area of our country. ”

"Therefore, although the Chu army attacked first, it was on the defensive, and although our army was lagging behind, it had the opportunity to counterattack and drive the Chu army out of the country. ”

Chen Haisheng said curiously: "Xiao Yushi has always been good at writing and impeachment debates, why did he suddenly change his painting style today and become a military master?"

Xiao Bei straightened his chest and said proudly: "Weichen is both civil and military, he can go up to the hall, go down to the kitchen, and be just military, how can it be difficult to stop me?" said and quietly stuffed the cheat sheet in his hand into the sleeve cage.

Metropolitan Governor Zhou Ziwei nodded and said, "Xiao Yushi's strategy is very reasonable and consistent with the art of war. There is a cloud in the art of war: 'If there are few men to guard the bunker, there are many people to ago.' ”

"The plan now is to slowly exert pressure from the east and west, gather the country's military forces from the south, and attack head-on. With an upright teacher, the enemy is in the country... That inside. ”

The Metropolitan Governor spoke, and the ministers echoed him. Chen Haisheng saw that what everyone said was reasonable, and his mood was a little calmer, and he still said with a straight face: "The state of Chu did not declare war, and it did not have the demeanor of a great country at all. Now I have taken a small piece of land in Dayue, but I can't escape the defeat of the invaders. ”

"Pass the order down, the whole country mobilizes. I launched a people's war to defend the country and completely wiped out the bandits of the Chu State. Then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the glory of Qingyun..."

Chen Haisheng was talking about the excitement, when Kang Buqi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, ran into the hall in a panic and shouted: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good! The army of Chu has already divided into two ways and is coming into the Minyue Plain. ”

"What?"

The town of Zhibetsu is in the western part of the Minyue Plain and is under the jurisdiction of Ke Chongcheng. The Li Han River rushes out from the middle of Gongga Mountain, like a bamboo broom, covering the water system all over the Minyue Plain, but only missing the east and west two hilly areas close to Gongga Mountain.

Therefore, the Minyue Plain is everywhere like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is very rich. Only a few mountain cities such as Ke Chong and Bi Chong are strange, rocky, arid and barren.

But the strange thing is that Ke Chong and Bi Chong's several big nobles are very arrogant. Comparatively speaking, the poverty of the poor here is the highest in the whole country.

Therefore, when a group of Chu troops suddenly rushed into the town of Zhibei and killed the town mayor Du Huaishan and his town soldiers, the poor people in the town did not even have a look of surprise and anger. If it weren't for the dirt on his face being too thick, he might be able to see some happy looks.

Guan Dazhuang sat on the white marble steps of the mayor's house, wiping the blood marks on the war knife with a linen cloth. Four years have passed, Guan Dazhuang still hasn't grown taller, but he has a short mustache on his face, which looks more mature.

Since Gu Wen's "death" three years ago, Junhu City University's attitude towards Gu Wen's brothers and classmates has also been cold by hundreds of degrees. In less than two years, Guan Dazhuang graduated from college and became a mercenary.

After more than a year of licking blood from the knife edge, Guan Dazhuang rushed from the elite junior to the elite peak.

Among them, the foundation that Gu Wen left to his brother is on the one hand, and on the other hand, what has a deep influence on him is the "king of escape" Wu Sankne, who led the team when he was trapped in Tiger Mountain.

It is precisely because of the keen sense of smell cultivated by Wu Sanknei that Guan Dazhuang discovered the smell of war. But what made Mr. Wu ashamed was that not only did this half of the apprentices not run away, but gave up the promising profession of mercenary and ran to join the army.

And it's also a digger army.

Because of the complex terrain and steep mountains in South Vietnam, the digging army accounted for nearly a quarter of the southern expedition of Chu. Naturally, these digging armies can't just dig pits and pave roads, but also need to participate in battles.

Guan Dazhuang participated in the battle to sweep the northern legion, and was lucky to break through the bottleneck and became a hero, and was also promoted to the tenth commander of the digging army because of his merits.

The promotion did not bring much change to Guan Dazhuang's life, he still led his ten-person team to dig trenches day and night in front of Nanxiu City, digging all over the plaster, like a groundhog.

But good things once again fell on Guan Dazhuang's head. Overnight, he was suddenly promoted to the rank of centurion of the Plains Column.

Guan Dazhuang was confused: "What kind of formation is this plain column?"

But it doesn't matter, since it's a team, its status is much higher than that of the Diggers.

With the configuration of sophisticated Xuantie armor and crystal steel battle knives, coupled with the ten famous "Gu's Poisonous Dragon Thorns", although most of Guan Dazhuang's team were crooked melons and cracked dates full of gangsterism, they still had the appearance of a strong army.

"Gu's Poisonous Dragon Thorn" and "Shadowless Bridge", Guan Dazhuang naturally knew that this was the handiwork of his unfathomable brother. But he didn't say anything.

Then Guan Dazhuang and a large group of captains who were "promoted from the line of fire" were imprisoned in a military camp with strict anti-counterfeiting and underwent a three-day intensive training in "tunnel warfare" and "guerrilla warfare."

Because of the personal inheritance of the "King of Escape" and the skills of the Diggers, Guan Dazhuang stood out among many captains. By the end of the training camp, Guan Dazhuang's outfit had changed into cold iron and gold armor, and he was honorably promoted to the commander of the plain column.

If you want to talk about the speed of promotion, Guan Dazhuang can also be regarded as a legend.

After the training, Guan Dazhuang took his 1,000-strong team to march to the southwest at night, and together with thousands of troops, he made great strides into the Minyue Plain.

They deliberately avoided the rich central plains and instead entered the barren frontier areas. They even avoided large and small cities and launched attacks on thousands of villages and towns.

Overnight, smoke erupted in the border area of the Minyue Plain.

"Kill the nobles, divide the fields, everyone is Qingyun people" shouted the slogan of Shinto, Guan Dazhuang led the troops to capture the town of Oribetsu.

Look at the dilapidated and old slum houses in the town, and then look at the mayor's mansion in the center of the town, which occupies nearly 1/4 of the area. Guan Dazhuang did not hesitate to cut off the head of the town mayor Du Huaishan with a triple chin.

The Du family was kicked out of town. Guan Dazhuang ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and distributed most of the Du family's gold and silver, as well as all the land, to the poor people in the town.

In the midst of cheers, the pro-soldier Zhang Adin swallowed his saliva and asked, "At the juncture, what are we going to do next?"

Guan Dazhuang stood up, put the war knife into the scabbard, and said lightly: "What are you doing? (To be continued.) )
