"What's going on?

When the knights who galloped into the city were gone, they left behind a chaotic and chaotic street.

Xia Fan, who was on the side of the street, naturally heard the fearful shouts in the crowd.

Wanyang was lost, and the rescue army went south.

These two key words are easily reminiscent of war.

The problem is that Xia Fan doesn't know where Wanyang is, let alone where the Rescue Army is.

But when the people of Nanjun heard the news, they instantly became panicked, as if the sky was going to fall in the next moment.

"Childe, things are not good, I'm afraid we won't be able to go north for the time being. ”

When Lu Shaoyang heard Xia Fan's doubts, he couldn't help but whisper to him with a bitter face.

"Tell me more about what's going on?"

Xia Fan frowned lightly and said.

"Yes, Childe......"

Lu Shaoyang naturally told the story without concealment.

Wanyang.

An important town in the north of Yingzhou.

Since ancient times, it has been the gateway and throat of Yingzhou to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Therefore, Wanyang, located in Kunling, is known as the north gate of Yingzhou, once Wanyang is lost, it means that the entire Yingzhou is not in danger to defend, and it is a flat river.

In the third year of the Great Jin Dynasty, there was a severe drought in many places in the north.

Countless displaced people have been forced to leave their homes and flee to the Central Plains and the south.

However, most of the government and powerful people along the way refused to allow refugees to enter the city, and even refused to open a warehouse for relief, completely treating these displaced people as flood beasts.

As a result, all parts of the Central Plains are starving all over the wilderness, and the human tragedy of changing children and eating is all vying to be staged.

Eventually—

The refugees who could not survive fell into the grass one after another.

Although the imperial court immediately ordered the local government to suppress the unrest caused by refugees in various places, in the following years, disasters occurred frequently in various parts of China, a large number of people were displaced, and at the same time, under the exploitation and bullying of the government, the boiling public resentment exploded like cooking oil.

It was in this environment that the Relief Army came into being.

The Great Jin Dynasty was built for six years.

Su Yuanhong, a hero from Lizhou, saw the hardship of the people and scattered all his family wealth to help, but he later realized that only by overthrowing this dim world and redefining the world could he save all the suffering people in the world.

With the support of many poor people, Su Yuanhong established the Relief Army, which means the army that rescues the people from suffering.

In less than half a year, the Relief Army swept through the entire Lizhou like a spark, and it was naturally impossible for the imperial court to allow the Relief Army to continue to grow.

At first, the imperial court only regarded the relief army as a small traitor, but after the successive suppressions by the local government ended in failure, this attracted the attention of the imperial court.

The Great Jin Dynasty was built for seven years.

The imperial court ordered Wei Guogong to cooperate with Zhen Wusi to lead the army to suppress the bitter army, and in August of the same year, Su Yuanhong was beheaded, and the main force of the bitter army was completely annihilated, and the situation in Lizhou was calmed in one fell swoop.

After Su Yuanhong's death, Su Yuanhong's eldest son Su Yunxiao inherited his father's will and officially became the new commander of the Relief Army.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Su Yunxiao, the long-lasting relief army changed its previous state, no longer focusing on attacking cities and conquering places, but focusing on remote towns and counties.

Over time, the exhausted government army was no longer easily dispatched, which allowed the relief army to recuperate and continue to accumulate strength.

Until the eleventh year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the northern barbarian attack and disturbing the border pass, the Relief Army suddenly launched a thunderous offensive and directly swept half of Lizhou.

However, the Relief Army did not go any further, but instead sent an envoy to the imperial court to ask for peace.

Faced with the threat of the Northern Barbarians entering the Kou, the imperial court, which was already unable to take care of the rescue army, simply agreed to push the boat down the river.

Although they both knew that the imperial court would inevitably turn its guns on the relief army after solving the threat of the Northern Barbarians.

But the Rescue Army didn't seem to care, and was focused on the integration of half of Lizhou.

Twelve years of Jianxing.

That is, this year.

After the imperial court reached a peace agreement with the Northern Barbarians, the Relief Army immediately pointed directly at Wanyang.

Because Lizhou is located in the plain area, there is no danger to defend at all, as long as the imperial court reorganizes the army to attack, the weak relief army will inevitably be defeated, and the fate of Su Yuanhong's defeat and death will be repeated.

Only by conquering Wanyang, relying on Wanyang's geographical advantages, it is possible for the army to resist the suppression of the imperial army.

What's more, Yingzhou has always been rich, as long as Yingzhou can be taken, the strength of the army to save the suffering can go to a higher level.

"I see. ”

After listening to Lu Shaoyang's speech, Xia Fan finally understood.

The loss of Wanyang means that Yingzhou has cut off contact with the imperial court, and in the face of the soldiers of the rescue army, Nanjun can be said to be the first to bear the brunt.

War is terrible.

In particular, it is strange that the people of Nanjun, who have been peaceful for a long time, did not panic after learning that the war was going to befall them.

Moreover, if Wanyang is lost, the imperial court will inevitably be furious, and it is impossible not to send troops to aid Yingzhou, and then the entire north will be in a mess, and it will undoubtedly be difficult for Xia Fan and them to go north.

"But this rescue army is too strong, right? Lu Shaoyang, are you sure this is an army composed of homeless people?"

Xia Fan touched his chin thoughtfully, expressing serious doubts about this.

"Returning to Gongzi, the Relief Army is indeed an army composed of displaced people, but the main force of the Relief Army is not these displaced people. Lu Shaoyang sighed lightly. "If the Relief Army was a group of displaced people, the Relief Army would have been strangled by the government a long time ago. ”

"Oh?" said Charvington with interest.

"Lizhou hero Su Yuanhong traveled extensively during his lifetime, and had a lot of relationships with many gangs and sects in the rivers and lakes, since Su Yuanhong rebelled, these gangs and sects have sent people to help, after all, these gangs and sects have always hated the imperial court...... "Lu Shaoyang explained slowly. "If it weren't for these gang sects, how could Su Yuanhong's rescue army sweep through Lizhou back then?"

"I'll just say, what's the difference between a group of homeless people rebelling and committing suicide, dare to love that Su Yuanhong pulled a vote of foreign aid. ”

Xia Fan said suddenly.

In this world where force is supreme, civilian rebellion is tantamount to self-defeat, and a few good players can stage a unique drama of mowing the grass.

Although it will be tiring to cut people, people can run, and it is scary to think about it when they come back and continue to cut after they have rested.

But if there are also good hands among the rebels, this battle will be interesting.

He was very curious.

How did these people fight?

Could it be like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, each sending someone to pick it up individually? Civilians are waving flags and cheering behind and shouting 666?

In the end, win and wash the floor, lose and run away?

That's child's play.

Xia Fan, who lived in a peaceful country in his previous life, had not personally experienced war, so he naturally could not deeply appreciate the cruelty of war.

He knew that war was happening on the planet he lived on all the time, but it was still so far away from him that he could only follow the news casually and discuss it in the forum group without burden.

Now—

For the first time, however, he felt that war was so close to him.

He didn't have the slightest hint of panic.

Even when he was in front of the two armies, he had no fear.

He was afraid of death.

But he knows better that he has the ability to protect himself from any harm.

Grandmasters can't do it, and war can't do it.

So the war seems to be very close to him, but in fact there is no threat at all.

"Childe, do we still want to go north now?"

After Lu Shaoyang saw that the guards at the north gate showed signs of mobilization, he hurriedly asked Xia Fan for instructions.

"Of course!" Xia Fan said without thinking. "Aren't you scared?"

"Childe, it's not a question of being afraid or not...... Lu Shaoyang said with a wry smile. "The main concern is Brother Wang, after all, Brother Wang is unable to move, in case something happens along the way, what should we do?"

"Simple. Xia Fan snapped his fingers casually. "You just stay in Nanjun with Wang Huan, and I'll go north alone. ”

"The problem is that Brother Wang insists on going north with us, and no matter how much persuasion he tries to do, it will be useless. ”

Lu Shaoyang said helplessly.

Do you think I don't want to stay in South County?

The key is that Wang Huan has committed the temper of a stubborn donkey, can he, as a friend, ignore it?

"You say he doesn't listen, I say he will. ”

Xia Fan said disapprerovitically.

"Childe doesn't need to, let's go north together. ”

Lu Shaoyang sighed and said.

Although he didn't know why Wang Huan insisted on going north with Xia Fan, he must have his own ulterior motives.

Now if he asks Xia Fan to dissuade Wang Huan, maybe Wang Huan will blame himself.

"Don't worry, you're my cover now, and no one can hurt you on the road. ”

Xia Fan smiled, patted Lu Shaoyang's shoulder and strode towards the north gate.

Hehe.

Well said.

I don't know who lay in the carriage to protect you.

Lu Shaoyang gave Xu Ping'er, who was driving the carriage, a look, and the two immediately followed Xia Fan and walked out of the north gate together.

Not long after leaving the north gate.

Lu Shaoyang glanced back with some feeling, and suddenly found that the north gate of Nanjun was slowly closing.

Thankfully, they went one step earlier.

It seems that what the city is suspected of rescuing the army is true.

Wanyang was indeed lost.

But will they really go south to South County next?

Lu Shaoyang didn't think so.

Now that it is approaching early winter, it is not easy to march, and the suffering army is bound to suffer a lot of damage if it can conquer Wanyang, not to mention that before the situation in Wanyang is completely stabilized, he does not believe that Su Yunxiao will rush south.

Unconsciously.

They followed the official road to the ten-mile long pavilion on the outskirts of the city.

"You go first, and I'll follow later. ”

When Xia Fan noticed a strong man sitting in the long pavilion, he suddenly stopped his horse and commanded Lu Shaoyang seemingly casually.

"Childe, do you know anyone in the pavilion?"

Lu Shaoyang's observation was very keen, and he deduced at a glance that Xia Fan's stop might be related to the people in the pavilion.

"I don't know, but I know he's waiting for me. ”

Xia Fan turned over and dismounted, holding the reins and slowly walked towards the long pavilion.

"Childe be careful. ”

Lu Shaoyang reminded him heartily, and then continued to go north along the official road with Xu Ping'er.

Anyway, he didn't have the ability to dissuade him, and since he let them go first, he naturally had a reason.

"Been waiting for me for a long time?"

After tying up the horses outside the long pavilion at will, Xia Fan walked into the long pavilion generously, sat opposite the strong man with his buttocks, and raised Erlang's legs by the way.

"Yes. ”

The strong man was dressed in a well-cut gray robe, and he looked like an eagle and a wolf.

He looked at Xia Fan indifferently, which invisibly gave people a great sense of oppression.

"Is there something wrong?"

Xia Fan shook his legs and said.

"In Xia Xue Ze, dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?"

The strong man said unhurriedly.

"Xia Fan, the leader of Qingping Mountain, is known as the grandmaster killer in the rivers and lakes. Xia Fan looked at the other party with a smile and said. "You're the one who talks about the Yunmeng River in Nanjun, right?"

"......" Xue Ze stared at Xia Fan coldly. "It turns out that you are the mysterious grandmaster who has recently appeared on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Yes, so what are you looking for me for?" Xia Fan said lazily.

"I have no intention of making enemies of you. Xue Ze said indifferently. "It's just that I heard that there was a sudden visit from Nanjun.,As the protagonist, how can I snub the distinguished guest.。 ”

"So you're the rescuer who moved from Ma Zhizhou?" said Xia Fan, raising his eyebrows.

"Your Excellency, do you think Ma Liangmao can be called?" Xue Ze sneered.

"Okay, okay, I'm not here to pretend to be a beep, if you don't get down to business, I'm leaving. Xia Fan said impatiently.

"I just want to know, why did Your Excellency go to Tianxiangyuan, why did you want to see that girl Yingying?"

Xue Ze finally clarified his intention this time.

"Please, go to the Qinglou, of course you want to find the best girl, what's so strange about this?" Xia Fan said lightly. "Don't you go to the Qinglou to find a girl and a duck? Don't worry, I don't discriminate against LGBT!"

"What did you do to the warbler girl?" Xue Ze said with a cold face.

"Of course it's to do what a man should do!" Xia Fan shrugged. "After all, I'm not a eunuch. ”

"As far as I know, the warbler girl disappeared after seeing you. Xue Ze said without a trace of emotion in his tone.

"It's my business, isn't it normal for girls to like to play missing?" Xia Fan pouted. "Anyone who has been in love with a spare tire knows it. ”

"If it weren't for your relationship, do you think the warbler girl would have disappeared for no reason?" Xue Ze said clearly.

"I don't carry this pot. After Xia Fan finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Xue Zedao curiously. "I said, why do you care so much about a woman in a green house? Could it be that you have a crush on her? Tsk, it turns out that the old cow eats tender grass!"

"My son has always had a soft spot for the warbler girl, and now the warbler girl has disappeared inexplicably, and my son is about to return to Nanjun, you say, as a father, I should always give my son an explanation, right?"

Xue Ze's whole body began to exude an aggressive and domineering momentum.

"Do you think it could be that Miss Yingying heard that your son was coming back, so she was so scared that she disappeared directly?"

Xia Fan touched his chin and pretended to think.

"Your Excellency still refuses to say?"

Xue Ze slowly stood up, and the gray robe automatically rose up without wind.

"I felt like I was being put on a pitch. ”

Xia Fan stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, and said in distress.

Damn, it must be the big-breasted woman behind her back.

Does Lao Tzu want to report and expose her?

It's a pity that Xue Ze didn't give him a chance.

The next moment.

Xue Ze's fist suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Xia Fan instantly grabbed the other party's wrist, and then picked up Xue Ze and threw it to the ground.

Bang –

The entire pavilion ground cracked open under the violent impact.

Seeing that Xue Ze was still trying to struggle, Xia Fan hurriedly picked up Xue Ze again and smashed it back and forth a few times, until he confirmed that Xue Ze had no more resistance, he let go of Xue Ze's wrist.

He glanced at Xue Ze, who was rolling his eyes on the ground and foaming at the mouth, patted his chest with a frightened face and walked out of the long pavilion.

"What the hell, scared my dad to death!"
