It is said that children who can cry have milk to eat. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info this sentence is really the most suitable for the old Qingyuan Hou Ding family. Military towns have been set up in all countries in the world to guard their borders and prevent trouble before it happens. The setting up of military towns in Lizhou to guard against Rong Di is barely reasonable. However, in a place like Tongzhou, which borders the State of Qi and has no relationship with the north at all, it is a bit funny that there are as many as 300,000 troops on it.

The establishment of the military town of Tongzhou was about 700 years ago. In order to be able to get the edict to set up a military town from the imperial court, Lao Qingyuan Hou spent a lot of thought. This kind of thing has always been the top secret within the Ding family. Except for the direct descendants of the Ding family, no one knows about it at all. Even Ding Jianzong and Ding Guangwei were able to enter the library after they became adults, and their father Ding Wei was repeatedly tested for school and passed the family ability test, so that they could enter the library and see those secrets that had been collected for a long time.

Lao Qing Yuanhou once contacted the generals of the border garrison of Qi and asked the other party to take the initiative to attack Chu. This matter, from beginning to end, is a conspiracy set up by Qing Yuanhou. At that time, Lao Qingyuan waited by chance and got a Yuan Qi Pill. This kind of thing is a priceless treasure for ordinary people at any time. Lao Qing Yuanhou did not take it down as people expected, but found another way, completely unexpectedly, through the black market channel, to replace this Yuan Qi Pill with five Yi Rong Dan.

Ejong Dan is also a magical treasure. As for the features, it's literally understood. It is said that the Yi Rong Dan is not used to swallow, but to refer to the target body shape that you want to change, half swallow it, mix it with water, and then wipe it on your face. The Yi Rong Dan recipe was made by the demons in ancient times. Originally, it wasn't used for military purposes, but by some female demons to change their bloodlines. On the premise of not practicing the Dao technique, he transforms himself into a human woman, and then has the best prop for intercourse with a human man.

It sounds a little unbelievable, it's like a sow turns into a beautiful woman and takes the initiative to run to a man's bed to beg for pleasure. But when I think about it, I think it's normal. After all. Among the Three Realms, the identity of human beings is second only to the Immortal Race. Although the demons and demons have great powers, they only belong to the races of low blood. This is no different from some crazy women in another five-star red flag country in the world who rack their brains to get a green card abroad. In their opinion, as long as they can sleep with the green-eyed and red-bearded ghost, and then sprinkle a little coquettishness, others will take the initiative to take them out of the country, and completely throw away the dirty hat of the third world nationals.

It was in this state that the Etronitan was born. With the wisdom of the demons, the Erong Pill refined must have an extraordinary effect, as long as the appearance is changed. It retains its transformed appearance throughout its life. After the end of the Great War of Gods and Demons, many gods and wonderful products from ancient times have been lost, and Yi Rong Dan is no exception. Although this miraculous elixir has left its name in the history books, there are many people who are not afraid to search for the whereabouts of the formula, but still find nothing. In desperation, people can only settle for other methods and find alternatives with similar effects.

Lao Qing was far away from the Yi Rong Dan who was exchanged for the underground channel. It's this kind of substitute. Strictly speaking, this Tranquil Pill can only be regarded as a shortened version. It has a fatal drawback -- the disguise period lasts only five days at most. Nevertheless. The refining methods and materials of this Erong Dan are very expensive, and there are also precious substances such as thousand-year-old ginseng, triplet placenta, and top-grade amethyst powder. If you compare it from the perspective of value alone, it is not much different from the Yuanqi Pill. The difference is that the Yuan Qi Pill can only be refined by a true alchemist. The simplified version of the Yi Rong Dan can be made as long as there are materials, and it does not require any spiritual energy and alchemy experience, and the most basic first-order qi practitioner can make it.

Although this kind of thing is far less magical than it seems. But in any case, it can achieve the purpose of transfiguration. Moreover, the effect of the transfiguration is so obvious that no one can notice it.

Lao Qingyuan waited for these Yi Rong Dan in his hands, so he let go of his hands to implement the plan that had been brewing for a long time. He first sent his henchmen to infiltrate the border garrison of Qi State. Killed the leader of the army, and then disguised himself as this person to take the place of the leader. Then, the entire garrison of Qi left the camp and headed towards Tongzhou.

At that time, the number of Qi troops that invaded the state of Chu was as high as 120,000, that is, all the strength of the border garrison. When the court of Chu learned the news, it was greatly shocked and hurriedly dispatched troops from Lizhou to reinforce Tongzhou. Of course, it is impossible for the Qi army to really fight. Under the leadership of Lao Qingyuan's confidants, the Qi army made many undeserved mistakes in a row. The final result of the war was that the Qi army, which had a full 80,000 men, was annihilated, and the rest fled back to Qi in a hurry.

Although both the state of Chu and the state of Qi sent envoys to negotiate the incident, the contemporary Chu emperor saw a threat from the state of Qi. As a last resort, the Chu Emperor could only set up a military town in the same state, which was also 300,000. First, it can guard against the Qi country, and secondly, it can also echo with Lizhou. If Rong Di moves south, the Tongzhou army can reinforce Lizhou at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that the location of the military town in Tongzhou is a bit incorrect and unreasonable. However, after all, the Qingyuan Hou clan got great benefits from it. With military power in hand, the right to speak in the court is much heavier.

Ding Jianzong always thought that the Qingyuan Hou family belonged to a first-class wealthy family in the Chu State. Especially the forces in their hands, no one dares to provoke. When the news of the eldest brother's death came from the capital, the two brothers Ding Jianzong and Ding Guangwei didn't believe it at all, thinking that this should be a little joke made by the old man Ding Wei and himself. However, the news became more and more wrong -- Qingyuan waited for Ding Wei to be arrested, and all the clansmen of the Ding family in the capital were imprisoned by the inner servants. It was only at this time that the Ding family brothers felt that things had changed completely unexpectedly, and the Ding family could suffer a catastrophe at any time.

Ding Guangwei was the first to put forward the plan of sending people to contact the military generals of Lizhou and get rid of Yang Tianhong together. Ding Jianzong was very much in favor of the times. In their opinion, Yang Tianhong, the Duke of Yiyong, is not worth mentioning at all. This person is so idiotic that he dares to enter Lizhou with only 20,000 people to take office. Didn't he know that there were as many as 300,000 soldiers in Lizhou? Did he think that by killing Cui Yangguang, the whole of Lizhou, he would be able to honestly obey his orders? Don't be kidding, Cui Yangguang has been operating in Lizhou for many years, and his methods and methods are not the same as those on his side. They all fed the people below one by one with silver. It's funny to have a pack of wolves spit out the benefits they've already swallowed. Even if he Yang Tianhong is wise and martial, what can he do in a place like Lizhou?

The best way is to contact the military generals of Lizhou, work together, and kill Yang Tianhong.

However. Things didn't go the way the Ding brothers expected. The henchmen who were sent out sent back their heads, and the situation on the side of Lizhou also changed in a way that was unfavorable to the same state. The silver in Yang Tianhong's hand spilled out like water. The cronies kept bringing back one desperate news after another: The reorganization of the Lizhou Army is continuing, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved compared with before. Now, the whole of Lizhou has completely looked forward to Yang Tianhong, and no one dares to stand up against the rebellion. As for those guys who stood on the opposite side from the beginning, they were either cut off by Yang Tianhong, or the whole clan was arrested and sent to the mine, where they worked endlessly in the dark mines.

Reputedly. Those people don't expect to leave alive in this life. Although Yang Tianhong's treatment of hard labor is not so bad, the food can also be well eaten. However, this is the rhythm that wants to use these people alive to death.

In the face of these increasingly bad news, the Ding brothers turned completely white. There is no better plan.

After being silent for a long time, Ding Guangwei slowly opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Second brother, anyway, things have come to this point, why don't we send someone out again." Continue to contact state officials. No one likes to do things under the pressure of others. You and I are very clear about the temper of those generals in Lizhou. are all money-eyed temperaments. Yang Tianhong could suppress them for a while, but he couldn't suppress them for a lifetime. Perhaps, like us, they all want to kill Yang Tianhong. As long as the method is used well, it is not difficult to ......"

"Stop dreaming!"

Ding Jianzong glared at Ding Guangwei angrily, and said sullenly: "Do you think those guys in Lizhou are good birds? They all want to get others to come out. Yang Tianhong was able to use a few methods, and after a few days of hard work, he rectified Lizhou into another scene. Sending someone over now doesn't do much good. Chang Huhou's strength in the capital is not weak, but even Yang Tianhong's subordinates can't resist it. Before. I also thought that Xu Yuantong was a cadre, and he was also in charge of the army, so he might be able to compete with Yang Tianhong. But who would have thought that Xu Yuantong was not won by Yang Tianhong in one round and ended up in a different place. ”

Ding Guangwei felt very unhappy with Ding Jianzong's words, and his face was a little ugly: "Could it be that just watching Yang Tianhong first swallow Lizhou, and then come over and take away our Tongzhou? This family business was left by our ancestors who fought for their lives, and it can't be handed over to others no matter what." Otherwise, let's pick up all the soldiers and horses and rush over and fight with Yang Tianhongming's sword and spear for a while. ”

Ding Jianzong shook his head slowly, his face full of bitterness: "I can't beat it." Third child, do you think I haven't thought about it like this? Now is the time to really fight hard, take a step back, and you will fall into the endless abyss! But have you thought about it, since he, Yang Tianhong, dared to enter Lizhou with 20,000 Xuanhuo troops, it shows that he has nothing to fear in this regard, and even has a lot of wealth. Cui Yangguang, the old fox, is shrewd and manages Lizhou like an iron bucket. You yourself have read the letters sent from Lizhou, when Yang Tianhong first arrived in Lizhou, which of the officials and generals was willing to take the initiative to cooperate? Even Hu Yingtong, the governor of Zhizhou, also pretended to deal with it. But what happened later? Yang Tianhong straightened things out in just a few days, cut down the disobedient with a knife, and shouted for him to get out of Lizhou, and everyone was exterminated. 300,000 Lizhou! That's a full 300,000 Lizhou army! Third brother, you have been to Lizhou, you should know better than me what the soldiers over there are like. Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of our Tongzhou Army is even weaker than that of the Lizhou Army. When the boss entered Beijing, it was to deal with Yang Tianhong and took away the most elite two thousand iron horsemen in our Lizhou. Yang Tianhong is safe and sound, and now his father is still imprisoned in the capital. Do you think that with these waste soldiers in our hands who can only loot money, they will be the opponents of the 20,000 wolf-like Xuanhuo army in Yang Tianhong's hands?"

Ding Guangwei was no longer silent, but his eyes were still on fire.

In this era, wars are all about relying on the generals and their subordinates. The Tongzhou army claims to be 300,000, but the people who can really fight it are about 5,000 at most. The truth is clear to the Ding brothers. What ordered the 300,000 army to push towards Lizhou can only be a joke in the play. It's just a matter of talking about it and listening to it, and it's about to be done. I'm afraid I don't know how the entire Ding family died in the end.

Ding Guangwei still felt very unwilling, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Is it possible to just sit back and watch Yang Tianhong clean up Lizhou, and then turn his head to deal with our Tongzhou?"

After all, Ding Jianzong is older than Ding Guangwei, and his temperament is more calm. He pondered for a long time, his fingers flicking back and forth on the table. Thoughtfully whispered, "It's not that there is no way. ”

Ding Guangwei's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with joy: "Second brother, what good way have you thought of?"

Ding Jianzong slowly frowned and said, "I don't know for sure, I just think I can give it a try." After all, Yang Tianhong is a monk, and he also has the identity of a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. If you can get help from the Immortal Master...... Perhaps, if you want to deal with Yang Tianhong, it is not too difficult. ”

......

Anju.

On the dam, both the south and north banks are full of people. It looks like it's in full swing. However, the bustle is not due to the market and recreation near the river, but to the work of the local people and displaced people, who are digging mud and dams to build water conservancy.

Although there is a Xuanhuo army guarding the border, Anzhou has a very good year this year, but there are still some homeless people who do not have enough to eat. In the spring, there are still many displaced people. This is mainly because the road conditions in Anju are not very good. The materials cannot be transported for a while. For these displaced people, the Anzhou Jiedu Embassy is trying to provide relief. If you want to eat Anzhou's brown rice, you need to pay a certain amount of labor, cook as much as you eat every day, and the manor farmers with a certain ration can also participate, and they will always save export grain. Save more.

River mud is a good fertilizer for fertile fields, now is a good time to dig and repair ditches, and building an earthen dam as a cofferdam is also one of the purposes, after all, the rivers in Anzhou are vertical and horizontal, and the water network is dense. Flooding is one of the most terrible disasters of our time. It's better to be prepared in advance than to cram.

Excavation of river mud, excavation and repair of ditches, construction of dams and cofferdams, each item represents a huge amount of earthwork and heavy labor, the labor involved in the hard day after a hard day, the evening is exhausted, but everyone's enthusiasm for participation is still very high, because they can eat enough, everyone is in full swing, many people have been very worried in their hearts, for fear that these jobs are over, there is no place to eat but to starve.

This water conservancy project is very large, and it is estimated that it may not be completed before Yang Tianhong returns. Cao Hui is very proficient in civil affairs, and officials at all levels in Anzhou, as well as the foremen in charge, have made promises to the displaced people -- they will work hard here and perform well, and there will be other arrangements when the spring of next year comes. When the time comes, either arrange for everyone to go to the south to open up a village and build a village, or arrange to go to the manor that has been built to farm, and there will always be a place to eat. These promises have made the displaced people worried, excited, and motivated.

Finally, these labors are also to consume the grain that is about to become moldy in the various warehouses, the climate is hot, and a large area of manor cultivation allows the Xuanhuo Army to accumulate a large amount of grain, although the Anzhou warehouse is very suitable for storing grain, but after all, it can't be too long, rather than making the grain moldy, it is better to play a greater role.

Even the most picky people have to admit that the Xuanhuo Army has shown super efficiency in the project of controlling floods. Previously, the Anju government had not organized similar events. But every time, it was a tiger, and it ended up without a problem, and even became a means for the merchants below to take advantage of it and extort the people. For this situation, Cao Hui also felt very helpless. At that time, he did not have much power in his hands, Anzhou was far away from the land of Chu, and the commodities and goods he needed were completely controlled by merchants. Among them, there is also the opportunity to be secretly controlled by them and put their hands on it. But the work of the Xuanhuo Army organization is several times or even ten times more efficient and fruitful than that of the government organization, and it is really jaw-dropping to see countless river mud transported to the nearby manor to fertilize the fields, ditches dug one by one, and the earthen dam and ferry on the side of the big river becoming more and more perfect.

Many people inside and outside Anzhou never even thought they could do this, which made them have a deeper understanding of Yang Tianhong and the complete military and political system of the Xuanhuo Army.

In addition to the more efficient deployment of civil power, many people do not notice the use of a large number of iron tools. If you don't have the tools at your disposal, digging and dredging is not so easy. In addition, a large number of carts of cattle are put into these labors, which further improves efficiency. Moreover, building ditches is not only about digging ditches, but also about knowing how to divide the water and release the sluices, otherwise the ditches will be easily abandoned and will not play their due role. In order to do the best, the Xuanhuo Army specially "invited" water conservancy craftsmen from the land of Chu. These people are used to repair the river. It's also sad to say, in today's Chu State, except for a few craftsmen who know how to deal with water conservancy in the general prison, the rest of the irrigation ditches and so on are only passed down by experience, and they have become extremely rough, and they eat everywhere.
