Four years of the Great Chu Jianye, the time into the golden autumn season, the land of Chuzhou, the golden rice waves with the wind ups and downs, experienced the Vermilion Bird War, and the later struggle for power, Chuzhou in addition to Songling, the remaining ten provinces of the two prefectures of Xiyan have gradually restored the hustle and bustle of the past.

Since the founding of the Great Chu, the focus of the development of the Holy Religion has been placed in the eight prefectures of Shuzhou, four years, under the gradual encroachment of the soldiers and horses of the Holy Religion, the Holy Religion occupies the fertile land of the three provinces in central Sichuan, and has laid a foundation here.

Jiuchuan Mansion, the north is secluded from Songling and Xiyan respectively, and the White Tiger Army stationed in Jiuchuan Mansion is like a tiger in the mountains eyeing the Xiyan Plain of Pingchuan, although it is relatively peaceful, but it does not mean that there is no friction.

In the northeast of Jiuchuan Prefecture, Sancha Pass, this pass is stuck on the main passage into the central Sichuan Basin, along the undulating mountains on both sides, on the side of the mountain pass, on a slope with the mountain and water on the back, a camp is rooted here.

In the middle of the slope, under an old banyan, Yan Kunlun is raising a knife to chop, but this knife is obviously not a double knife that he usually slashes, but a heavy Mo knife that has no blade, but just looks at the appearance, you can know that it is full of weight, this is not counted, there is a heavy iron stone wrapped around the tip of the heavy Mo knife.

On the arm, the bulging muscles are not eye-catching, and every time Yan Kunlun slashes, they are not fast and sharp, continuous, on the contrary, Yan Kunlun's every slash is very slow, and very frequent, and obviously such a slow slash is more difficult.

Yan Kunlun was born in the desert of Liangzhou, and he is a famous swordsman, and he is better than a word fast, but when he reached a limit that was difficult to break through, Yan Kunlun began a new understanding, not in the pursuit of blind fast, but began to slow himself down.

Daily slashing practice is a compulsory course for Yan Kunlun, although he has become the highest commander in this camp, before this, although Yan Kunlun joined the army, but only to better hone his sword, so he has always been a small soldier, charging at the forefront, and leading the soldiers, obviously will only bring him countless troubles.

However, with the founding of the Great Chu and the continuous improvement of the military system, Yan Kunlun chose this kind of position that he thought was thankless after repeated hesitation, not because his temperament had changed, but because the army adopted a meritorious reward system.

Of course, he can't look down on meritorious deeds, but only if he has enough meritorious merits, he can get more cultivation pills, and even let Leng Zhuo, who has become His Royal Highness the King of Chu, personally refine the holy soldiers, for Yan Kunlun, whether it is the pill or the holy soldiers, he can't refuse, especially when his strength has broken through repeatedly, and it is difficult to improve again.

Everyone will have their own pursuit and strive for it, and Yan Kunlun has never given up the goal of continuing to become stronger.

"My lord!" Dai Bai stepped forward quickly, as the deputy brigade commander of this brigade, he didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, a brigade and two deputies, and the brigade he was in, the number one one, has always been the shopkeeper, and the military affairs were pushed to him, and the other deputy brigade commander was a violent war maniac, except for causing enough trouble every day and letting him wipe his ass, he didn't seem to have the slightest consciousness and responsibility as a general.

It can be said that these two people are very incompetent, but no one in the whole brigade has doubts about the two of them, in front of this is through the double assessment of the kingdom warrior and psychic master, and won the medal of the unequaled general awarded by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the unequaled general, even if it is more than enough to serve as a division commander, as for the trouble-making bag, although it is not a peerless general, but it is also strong and domineering, with these two people in charge, it can be said that the top combat power of this brigade is the strongest in the division, and it can also be ranked the top in the whole legion.

"What's the matter!" Yan Kunlun didn't turn his head, but continued to slash and slash.

"The military order just sent by the corps commander is that our corps will launch a tiger descent plan on October 10, and our brigade has been appointed as the vanguard to take the lead in entering Xiyan Mansion and capturing Xiongxian!"

When Yan Kunlun heard this, he finally had other reactions, turned his head, and said: "It seems that this is the eighth day, and the attack on the tenth day is in a hurry, you can pass on the order, and start on time on the tenth day!"

"Yes!" Dai Bai knew that this was the case, and he had long been accustomed to turning around to go down, although they were only a brigade, but thousands of soldiers and horses were pulled, and there were a lot of trivial matters, fortunately, this autumn harvest was imminent, and there was no need to prepare too much grain and grass, otherwise it would be enough for him to be busy.

"By the way, what about the Mongolian orcs, it seems that I haven't seen anyone else for two or three days!" Yan Kunlun suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked Dai Bai.

Dai Bai was speechless, and when he mentioned the Meng beast, he was almost in tears: "Back to my lord, the deputy brigade commander of Meng took dozens of personal guards to fight the autumn wind again, and I guess it's almost time to come back today!"

"This guy, I know!"

Xiongxian County, a large county near Jiuchuan in Xiyan Prefecture, is also a rich land with three mountains and six fields in the county.

But this will, this is an out-and-out front-line battlefield, from the mountains and hills, to the county towns and villages, the appearance of the Chu army and the Holy Sect army is almost commonplace, and Xiongxian County before the Holy Religion Rebellion, the recent population statistics, the county has more than 96,000 households, more than 344,000 people.

Now, in Xiongxian County, the population is no more than 100,000, of which the garrison accounts for more than 30 percent, and in the localities, some villages are already ten rooms and nine empty, and some towns are mostly half empty.

More than half of Xiongxian County is a plain area, and grain production has always been abundant, and it can be sold out, but in recent years, 60% of the land in Xiongxian County has been abandoned, and most of the remaining cultivated fields are also due to lack of labor, and most of them are allowed to grow freely.

"General, let's go back, this is a bandit's nest, and the Holy Sect often catches strong men to fill the army!"

Meng Beast waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, let the people you inquire about!"

Lan Tianhao knew that the master in front of him had never been obedient, and it was estimated that the only people who could make him obedient were the corps commander and the chief of staff, and even the division commander was useless, and his little captain of the guard had no weight in his words!

"General Hui, I inquired, but it's ......!"

"Don't be a mother-in-law, don't do it!"

"Yes, yes, that woman's name is Zong Ziyu, her father is a member of the Holy Sect, it is said that her status does not seem to be low, even the garrison banner master in the city has to stammer, this is not all the way with us, general, you have to think twice!"

Lan Tianhao was almost certain that the person in front of him was fascinated by the Holy Sect demon girl, but speaking of which, this Zong Ziyu was indeed a beauty, but it was a delicate beauty, and it was completely incompatible with this master!

But is this Lord a listener of persuasion?

Meng Beast glared at the captain of the guard, then squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Tianhao, I know you are smart, you said that if we rob this chick, how can we get out of the city without alarming the soldiers and horses in the city!"

I knew that Lan Tianhao was almost about to collapse, this lord really hit this idea, and quickly shook his head and said, "No way!"

Meng Beast snorted, slapped the table and said: "You guy, do you think Lord Ben is interested in seeing it, this woman and her father are quite high-status guys in the Holy Sect, if we arrest his daughter, we can take care of this old guy, even if he doesn't want this daughter, but this woman must know a lot of secrets of the Holy Sect ......!"

"My lord, don't you keep quiet, you have to provoke the Holy Sect Army to stop!"

"Stay on the side for me, hurry up and find a way for me, if you can't think of it, I'll just throw you into the Holy Sect camp, I heard that the Holy Sect army is trying to light the sky lantern!"

Lan Tianhao was speechless, looking up at the sky, I don't know if he was crying, and finally sighed, who let him stand up to such a master: "There is a way, sneak directly into the other party's house, and then catch Miss Zong's family, and then take Miss Zong's carriage out of the city, as long as you act fast enough, you should be able to get out of the city smoothly, but after you get out of the city, it will definitely attract a large number of chasing soldiers, and this basket can be stabbed to the sky!"

"Poke it, stab it, Lao Tzu is still afraid of him, just do as you say, go!" Meng Beast stood up directly and was about to go out.

"My lord, it's still noon, let's move better in the morning, and we have to prepare, which way along the way, we have to see, just go, isn't it looking for being caught!"

"You have to wait, then you go to arrange, I'll go to sleep, and I'll recuperate first!"

"Captain, you really want to tie up people!" Several guards guarding the door watched Lan Tianhao come out, and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Do you have a way to dissuade the adults from going?"

Several guards were speechless for a moment, and Lan Tianhao continued with a wry smile: "But it's okay to kidnap people, this woman's father is a cardinal stationed by the Holy Sect in Xiyan Mansion, and his status is not low, and this person only has such a daughter, and he is still an elderly woman, and he loves this woman the most, if he can use this to win over this person, maybe it will be of great help to my Great Chu to take Xiyan Mansion!"

"Recently, there have been rumors in the army, and the upper plans to take down Xiyan and Songling and restore all of Chu, but there is an accident in Yangzhou in the east, so it has been delayed again and again!

"Although there is an order from above, we are not allowed to take the initiative to provoke and fight, but if the Holy Sect takes the initiative to attack, then it will be a different matter, okay, let the spies in the city inquire about the distribution of the courtyard of the sect, the more detailed the better!"
