The 557th year of the Emperor Kingdom passed in a war "chaos", the 558th year of the Emperor was also the first day of the first month of the first year of the new Emperor Zhengshuo, and the old years became the history of the past, and on this day, in the southeast of Chuzhou in the Kyushu of the Emperor Kingdom, a new life was born on this day.

With a cry, the loud cry echoed in the weeping blood castle, Wei Zhilan gave birth to a son for Leng Zhuo Ping'an, the birth of this little guy can be described as twists and turns, it seems that it feels unlucky to be born at the end of the year, and he actually stayed in Wei Zhilan's stomach for two days, but he refused to come out, and also formed a spiritual power vortex, constantly emptying the spiritual power in Wei Zhilan's body.

And in order to ensure the safety of the mother, Leng Zhuo had to use spiritual power to restore Wei Zhilan's vitality for the little demon in the stomach to absorb, this little guy is destined to be different, when he was born, his whole body actually flashed with seven "colors" of light, and there was a layer of light around his body, after leaving the mother's body, the little guy was covered in it. [

And this layer of light film seems to be as transparent as a soap bubble, glowing with a faint light, but it can't be broken, and judging from the intensity of the light of the seven "colors" streamer around this little guy's body, it is the body of the innate seven spirits, and above the navel, there is a pattern of a green wood spirit seed, which obviously has something to do with Wei Zhilan's thousands of willows.

The seven spirits are complete, with wood as the respect, just born, a powerful life force is emanating, the pale green "color" aura is rippling out in a circle, and the person who touches this halo is said to be eliminated, the young are refreshed, and they add a little more energy.

In the case that few people know about the eldest son, the child born by Wei Zhilan is Leng Zhuo's sister-in-law, coupled with his mother's background, this kid is destined to be extraordinary as soon as he is born, and Leng Wuving, the great-grandfather, is the heir of this son on the spot.

The most troublesome thing is to choose a name, Leng Zhuo thought about it and thought about it for a long time, as soon as the child was born, he made such a big move, and he was destined to be extraordinary for a lifetime in the future, Leng Zhuo "groaned" for a long time, and finally named the child Fan, mortal Fan, ordinary Fan.

Leng Fan, Leng Zhuo hopes that he can grow up ordinary and healthy, and at the same time, he also hopes that he is not standing in the clouds, but like a mortal, he will recognize himself, he will not be arrogant, ordinary, but destined to be extraordinary.

Leng Fan's birth, the Leng family was overjoyed, and the territory celebrated for three days, whether it was a front-line soldier or a recruit in the training school, they all added food and meat to celebrate, of course, it was indispensable to feast in the main castle to invite many businessmen and nobles who came to congratulate the gift.

Crying blood collar, raising the collar to celebrate, but on the first day of the first year of Zhengshuo, it was not all good, at least in the territory of Chuzhou, it was a lot of broken things.

At the end of the month, the Holy Sect army sent troops in a big way, and the three counties east of Xiyan Province, Xiangshan, Dongping, and Wushan fell one after another within two days, and most of the defenders were "annihilated", and the rest were defeated and retreated into the territory of Jialin Province, and the Holy Religion army completely occupied Xiyan Province.

In Nanhu County, southwest of Xiaoxiang Prefecture, the old Panshi Department headed by Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tian Dan, and Pang Juan also retreated in the offensive of the Holy Sect army at the end of the month, losing troops and losing generals, the Boyang Shui Army moved to the base, Nanhu County fell, and the four prefectures in the west of Chuzhou, except for a few cities, all fell, and the Holy Sect army put on a posture of crossing the river, and the people of Suzaku Mansion were moved.

And the changes in the situation in western Chu did not attract too much attention from Leng Zhuo, because most of the scenes here were a scene, after Guo Jia's negotiation with the Holy Sect, it was a logical play, part of the main force in Xiyan Mansion changed its appearance, entered Xilin Mansion, and some escaped into Jialin Mansion, and finally entered Panlong City in Jiuchuan Mansion and rushed to help Liang Hongyu along the way.

In the north of Chuzhou, Poyang Mansion, Guangling Mansion, Dongchang Mansion is in an emergency across the board, in the face of several months of renovation, the Li Tang army, which has been recuperating for several months, this time it can be said that it is menacing, and the army of the Emperor has been fighting for nearly a year.

The two divisions of the python stationed in the place, plus the local county guards faced Li Tang's elite, they were repeatedly defeated, and in no half a month, most of the land of Sanfu fell, although the main force retreated one after another, preserving its vitality, but the resistance of these two veteran divisions and regiments triggered the surrender of the three northern provinces.

After the defeat of the king of Xiangyang in Chuzhou, Chen Ping reorganized all the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, and the soldiers and horses in the whole state reorganized 33 divisions, with a total strength of more than 700,000, and a number of private armies of the Gui tribe, and the total number of soldiers and horses in the whole state was as many as one million, but with the collapse of the situation in Chuzhou, the soldiers and horses that could be used were less and less.

Although there are still some remnants of the five divisions of Panshi, they are actually in name only, and the three brigades of the 13th Division where Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are located, plus one and a half brigades of Chen Qingzhi's 14th Division, have clearly been incorporated into the newly formed Suzaku Regiment.

Chuxi Four Mansions, Songling, Xiyan, Jiuchuan, Jialin Four, Songling, Xiyan Mansions, most of Jiuchuan is occupied by the Holy Religion, Jialin Mansion is occupied by the Gui rebels, and Emperor ** only occupies Panlong City and some remote places, barely supporting.

And the "chaos" of the Holy Sect in Chuxi, the Rock Army was completely finished, the local divisions of the four prefectures, the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, and twenty-second five local divisions were wiped out, or they were absorbed, and among the rebels of the Guinan tribe, there were nearly ten brigades and regiments to rebel, and between one plus and one subtraction, the million-strong army in Chuzhou suddenly lost more than 200,000.

In the battle against the Holy Sect, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and the main force of the three major legions was lost by more than 60%, and then the Donglin Gui tribe rebelled against the "chaos", and the Emperor lost 100,000 local soldiers and horses, and at the same time, Nanxing Mansion, Dawan Mansion, and Suzaku Mansion had at least 100,000 local divisions and regiments that could not move "chaos", and the number of troops was less than 200,000.

Li Tang's army suddenly went south, the three prefectures in the north of Chuzhou, successively lost the ground and the troops were defeated, in just half a month, successively, three local divisions were wiped out, and most of the remaining troops were also lost in the rout, and the troops that could be used in the emperor ** were all gathered, and there were only more than 200,000, and among them, the local guards and recruits accounted for most of them.

It can be said that this year is not a good year for the nobles of the Emperor Kingdom in the Vermilion Bird City, and this situation is very fast for Leng Zhuo, an idler.

Three days after Leng Fan was born, Leng Zhuo retreated again, because according to the current situation, it is a question whether the emperor can support him for half a year, so when stepping up the training of soldiers and horses and training soldiers, Leng Zhuo also has to strive to get a set of clothes, weapons, and enough elixir for his hundreds of generals during this period of time to help his generals and soldiers improve their strength.

The big sparrow dragon flame that was snatched last time was handed over to Li Cunxiao by Leng Zhuo, although there were not many fire spirit generals under Leng Zhuo's command, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still gave the big sparrow dragon flame to Li Cunxiao, the first fierce general in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The weapon Leng Zhuo created this time was created for Dian Wei, and Dian Wei's crescent iron halberd was cut off in two in the last battle, plus Dian Wei is one of the few generals under Leng Zhuo's command who has been promoted to the Heavenly Spirit, so it is natural to give priority to equipping it, so as to maximize the combat power.

Not to mention that Leng Zhuo's retreat began to build holy soldiers, on an official road in Qishui County, south of Guangling Mansion in the north, a group of soldiers and horses marched from the official road in a hurry, and the morale of the entire army of soldiers and horses was very low.

On a hillside, more than a dozen horsemen stood on the top of the hillside, looking at the soldiers and horses marching like snakes, but one of them had a worried face, looking at the two sides of the official road, the hundred surnames who fled, and the chariots and horses of the wealthy merchants' families who followed behind the team, and couldn't help sighing, and said: "Another soldier has not moved, and he retreated without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, and if he retreats further, it is estimated that he will enter the territory of the Suzaku Mansion! The huge Guangling Mansion has actually been handed over like this!"

"If you lose it, you will lose it, anyway, the food along the way, everything that can be taken away has been taken away, and what can be burned has also burned a lot, and what is left is just a mess, and the food that Li Tang's soldiers and horses can obtain on the spot will not be too much, as they continue to go south, sooner or later they will 'dew' flaws! Moreover, if the decisive battle in the Vermilion Bird Mansion is held, the time and place are favorable, and all three are occupied, and there may be a few chances of winning in a battle!" Meng Tian's eyes were still resolute and optimistic.

"The odds of victory? Our soldiers and horses are not bad, haven't you seen the two soldiers and horses that have been in Qi County before, they are still regular soldiers and horses, a brigade of 5,000 soldiers and horses, I think the remaining 3,000 are too much, and the military discipline is corrupt, looting in all directions, and completely losing the control system, such soldiers and horses can be of great use, even if the number is more, it is the same result!"

"Hehe, this is not something we can manage, as long as we keep this army of soldiers and horses under our command, we will complete the task, this mess is smashed, and it will be easier to clean up in the future, otherwise in the place, those deep-rooted gate valves will make people tired to deal with!"

"Retreat to the Suzaku Mansion and fight in the Suzaku Castle, how long do you think you can stalemate?"

Meng Tian groaned for a while, and said: "Vermilion Bird City is the largest city in Chuzhou, after hundreds of years of continuous repair, it can be said that it is impregnable, it should not be so easy to capture the Vermilion Bird City, after all, our soldiers and horses have been recalled, not to mention there are two or three hundred thousand people, we should be able to hold it for a year and a half!"

"A year and a half? You are really optimistic, if you are determined to defend, a year and a half is not a problem, the key question is, can those people work together? And if it takes too long, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken, according to me, it is a miracle to be able to hold it for three months!"

"No matter how long you can hold it, the final victory belongs to the young master, even if it is not for anything else, we have to defend this Vermilion Bird City, the longer it drags on in the Vermilion Bird City, the longer the time, the more fully prepared the young master will be!

"You're going to fight here?"

"Well, you also know that the brigade I took over was itself heavily damaged, and after that, after I was transferred here, many people were transferred, and there was not much foundation left, most of them were recruits, although they had strict 'drills' these days, and they also participated in a battle to pursue Li Tang's rout, but they basically didn't fight much, and then they only suppressed the bandits twice, and they were just young and strong in the grass!"

"The soldiers are not grinding, and I think now is a good opportunity, there are many hills near Qishui, and there are mountains and forests to hide soldiers, the most important thing is that the enemy's forward is matched all the way, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, and it will definitely be arrogant and careless, this is our opportunity, not to mention that there are elite beasts in your hands to ride, you should be able to eat!"

"Heh, you're going to eat all the strikers in one bite, you're a little choking on these soldiers!"

"As long as you can hold on, there should be no problem, eating this battle, not to mention taking off the fetal and replacing the bones, it is enough to make their bones harder, knowing that the enemy is not invincible!"
