Meng Qiuchen's strategy of breaking through to the north was very risky, but it was indeed beyond the expectations of the Ningnan Imperial Court, and once again disrupted the deployment of the various legions of the Ningnan Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters.} -

The various legions that were already in the south did not even rest, and they were going north non-stop, and the soldiers of the various legions were all tired, and this was an opportunity for the Zhenjun army, a good opportunity to break through.

The Zhenjun army ransacked the treasury of Amy City, and even the gold and silver ornaments in the palace of Amy City were scraped by the soldiers with knives. Carrying so much gold and silver, and having to protect it heavily, the speed of the march naturally could not be fast.

Just when Meng Qiuchen was thinking about whether to bury the gold and silver along the road to lighten his burden, something unexpected happened to him.

The occurrence of this incident can be said to be Meng Qiuchen's luck is too good, or it can be said that Shangguan Xiu's preparation for this battle is too sufficient.

In the territory of the Wind Country, the Holy Maiden of Shenchi suddenly issued a proclamation to all counties, calling on the people of the whole country to respond to the westward expedition of the Zhenjun army. In the announcement, Ningnan is simply described as a place full of gold and silver, and the series of victories achieved by the Zhenjun army in Ningnan, as well as the captured booty, have also been infinitely magnified, as if Ningnan has been turned upside down by the Zhenjun army, and is dying, and now as long as the wind people enter Ningnan, they can take advantage of the fire to rob and grab a lot of money.

As soon as the holy woman's letter to the people of the whole country came out, it immediately blew up the wind country, and the squires and landlords, as well as the nobles with a lot of wealth, raised the banner of the Western Expedition, recruited local people, formed a righteous army, and joined the great team of the Western Expedition. om

There are risks associated with the expedition to the west, but the benefits and risks coexist. The people living in poverty want to take advantage of this western expedition to make a fortune, so that they can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing in the future. The squire, landlords, and even local nobles supported the Western Expedition, snatching money was one thing, and more wanted to make meritorious contributions and win fame for themselves.

said that it was in response to the call of the saint, but in fact, everyone was hiding their own selfishness and wanted to fight for their own selfish interests. It's just that the call of the saints gave them a high-sounding and justifiable reason.

Huya Pass is blocked by the Ninth Legion of the Wind Country, and it can block the supplies transported by Zhenjun to the outside world, but it cannot seal a large number of people from the Wind Country. Seeing that Huya Pass could not be passed, the rebel army spontaneously formed by the people of the Feng Kingdom crossed the mountains and mountains and ran to Ningnan with their lives.

And the road leading to Ningnan is not only Huya Pass, but also Huan County, Yujun and Ningjun, all of which border Ningnan, and the pass is sealed, so people take other roads and try every means to go to Ningnan.

If the Zhenjun Army suddenly changed its retreat route and disrupted the deployment of the Ningnan Army, then the influx of the Fengguo Western Expeditionary Army made the Ningnan Imperial Court completely panicked.

No one could have predicted such a sudden situation in advance. The Divine Pond of the Wind Country has always opposed war, who would have thought that the Holy Maiden of the Divine Pond would actually proclaim to the heavens and openly encourage the people of the Wind Country to participate in the western expedition to Ningnan.

This was the conspiracy between Shangguan Xiu and the saint at the beginning. He helped Shenchi destroy the newly discovered spiritual spring in Ningnan, and the holy woman gave him a reward by calling on the people of the whole country to join the western expedition.

In the national war of the Zhenjun Army's expedition to Ningnan, Shangguan Xiu's greatest fear was that the logistics supply would be cut off, and the rear grain, grass, armament and military resources would not be replenished, which would lead to his own side falling into great passivity.

The Holy Maiden called on the people of the whole country to join the Western Expedition, first, the Zhenjun Army could directly absorb these righteous troops from the Wind Country and integrate them into the Zhenjun Army to fill the vacancies caused by casualties in their own legions. Second, the rebel army will not come empty-handed, and will bring a large amount of grain, grass and armaments, which can be requisitioned by the Zhenjun army to replenish supplies for the Zhenjun army.

The quid pro quo between Shangguan Xiu and the Holy Maiden was originally intended to allow their own side to fight longer in Ningnan, but now, the situation has changed, and the large influx of the Fengguo Western Expeditionary Army, and it is not from one place, but from the long national border between the two countries, which further disrupted the deployment of the various legions of the Ningnan Army, on the one hand, they want to resist the invading Fengguo Western Expeditionary Army, and on the other hand, they are eager to encircle and intercept the Zhenjun Army that is breaking through from the north, the situation is chaotic, and the soldiers of the Ningnan Army do not know which side to block first。

The more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it will be to the breakthrough of the Zhenjun army, and the chaotic situation in Ningnan made Meng Qiuchen have the urge to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

In private, he also asked Shangguan Xiu, how did the Wind Country launch a nationwide campaign to march west, and why did Shenchi, who had always opposed war, suddenly change his character and call on the people of the whole country to join the westward expedition?

Shangguan Xiu told him a rough story about what happened. After Meng Qiuchen heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, he felt that he was superior in strategy and intelligence, but compared with Shangguan Xiu, he seemed to be lacking something.

What is lacking is vision? It doesn't seem to be like that, it's luck that is lacking? It doesn't seem to be all, and he himself can't say what exactly is missing.

Sometimes looking at Shangguan Xiu, Meng Qiuchen also feels quite scary, some of the things he does seem to be insignificant, but in fact, he is taking precautions, and he doesn't know when it will be effective.

Yangbuk-gun is located in the northern part of Yangzhong-gun. After more than ten days of rapid marching, the Zhenjun army has penetrated from Chidu County to Yangbei County. In the territory of Yangbei County, there was no central army stationed in Ningnan, only a local army.

Hearing that the main force of the Feng army was attacking, the local army did not dare to fight with it at all, and they all fled. On this day, the Zhenjun army marched to the middle of Yangbei County, Shangguan Xiu looked at the sky, and it was nearly evening, he ordered the whole army to rest and set up camp in the open area.

While the soldiers were camping, Shangguan Xiu found Zhao Chen and asked him to take a map of Ningnan, spread it on the ground, and examine it carefully. According to the battle reports that his side continued to receive, Zhao Chen told Shangguan Xiu about the movements of the various legions in Ningnan.

At present, the regiments of the Ningnan Army closest to the Zhenjun Army are the 3rd and 5th Army Corps, which has been following the ass of the Zhenjun Army and chasing after them, and the 1st and 2nd Army Corps stationed in Tianjing.

Yangbei County and Yangzhong County are adjacent to each other, and the place where the Zhenjun army is now located is not far from Tianjing, if the first and second armies abandon the garrison of Tianjing and march north, they will definitely be able to intercept the Zhenjun army.

Shangguan Xiu lowered his head and listened carefully to Zhao Chen's explanation while looking at the map carefully. After a while, he beckoned to the side and said, "Water." ”

An Rong took the water bladder, stepped forward, and handed it to Shangguan Xiu. The latter's gaze fell on the map, and he slowly pulled off the lid, and without looking, took a sip with a clatter. As soon as the water entered his mouth, he immediately frowned, looked at An Rong, and asked, "What does it smell like?"

"Lord Hui, it is filled with pork claw crucian carp, red dates and red bean soup. An Rong lowered his head and whispered back.

"What the hell is that?" Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, consciously looked down at the water bladder in his hand, and sniffed it again.

Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, looked at An Rong with strange eyes, and said, "Miss An Rong, this soup you made seems to be used for milk, give it to adults, isn't it...... Isn't it a good fit?"

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he almost spit out the soup he had just drunk out of his stomach, and his face was almost green. Milk's ......

An Rong's face was expressionless, and he said seriously: "This soup, I boiled it on the order of the military master. The military advisor said that although this soup has the effect of milk, it also has the effect of replenishing blood and qi, and adults should replenish qi and blood as soon as possible in case of the next war. ”

Hearing this, Meng Qiuchen seemed to regard himself as a blood cow, and now let himself replenish his blood and qi, in order to have enough qi and blood to explode with the blood of the wind demon in a battle.

The corners of the mouths of Zhao Chen, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and others twitched nearby, all of them wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Meng Qiuchen's approach was not wrong, but what he said was too damaging and direct, which was really unacceptable.

Shangguan Xiu looked at the water bladder in his hand, and wanted to wave his hand in disgust to throw it away, he took a deep breath, looked left and right, and asked, "What about the military advisor?"

"My lord, the military advisor is patrolling the camp. Zhao Chen bowed and replied.

Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything more, closed the lid of the water bladder, handed it back to An Rong, and said expressionlessly: "You can drink this soup yourself." ”

"My lord, the military advisor said, this soup must be drunk in its entirety. Our army's supplies are all cut off, and the resources in the army are tight, for the sake of the adult's body, this pot of soup has been boiled, I don't know how many soldiers have been hungry, can the adult really bear to lose it?"

No wonder Meng Qiuchen went to inspect the soldiers and camped, and he didn't dare to stay by his side, if Meng Qiuchen was there at this time, Shangguan Xiu slapped him in the face.

He stared at An Rong for a long time, and asked inscrutablely, "You, when did you become the maid of the military advisor?"

An Rong bowed his body and said in a low voice, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Is there anything you don't dare to do now?" Shangguan Xiu glanced at her, feeling that An Rong, this girl, was becoming more and more lawless, and she was becoming less and less interested in herself.

He took the water bladder, held his breath, and drank all the soup in one go. His brows twisted into a pimple, threw the water bladder back to An Rong, and said to Xiao Jue, "Find the military advisor." ”

"Brother Xiu, the military advisor is also thinking about Brother Xiu......" Xiao Jue persuaded him. Shangguan Xiu swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm looking for a military advisor, not for this. ”

Xiao Jue agreed, got on the horse and left, and went to find Meng Qiuchen. It didn't take long for Meng Qiuchen to be led over by Xiao Jue. Seeing Shangguan Xiu, who had an unkind face, Meng Qiuchen seemed to be fine, slowly adjusted the clothes on his body, and then bowed respectfully and said, "My lord is looking for me?"

Shangguan Xiu glanced at him deeply, his gaze fell back on the map, and said, "Strategist, I plan to leave the camp for a few days." ”

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Meng Qiuchen and everyone present were shocked. At this time, the adults are actually leaving the camp?

Meng Qiuchen didn't know where Shangguan Xiu wanted to go, he asked curiously, "Your Excellency is planning to go......
