Chapter 201 Step by step, the temple is a thousand miles
30,000 cavalry were divided into front, rear, and squadrons.
The first one has a broad body, a thick eyebrows and a square face, and a pair of eyes that look very honest and sincere, riding on a big yellow horse, like a hill, and like a smelly and hard stone.
Anyone who sees this young man who is nearly thirty years old will think that he is very credible, the kind of credibility that can give a wife and children.
"Stone, are we really going to take 30,000 horsemen and leave all the heavy battalions behind? If there is a recurrence in the battle, the Cui family ......"
Sima Rou also wore the same helmet and armor, holding a double-edged long knife, she was used to using a sword, and the long weapon in her hand at this time was also used as a sword.
However, compared with her daughter Han Xiaoru, Sima Rou, who is dressed as a military general, is really a little less majestic and evil.
It doesn't seem to be very good at fighting.
Of course, she didn't come to lead the troops to fight, at most, when she met the fighting generals on both sides, she could go into battle for a while.
This trip followed Zhang Gu, the eldest disciple of his own martial arts hall, and his identity was also as a supervising army, relying on his "special identity" to coordinate the relationship between the generals, so that the upper and lower levels could work together to reinforce the battlefield ahead, so that there would be no accidents.
"Master, don't worry."
Zhang Gu smiled out a row of big white teeth, and his black face became even more honest, "This way, Tanma has already found out the twenty miles ahead, and it has been swept by the ninth junior brother along the way, and there are little blue birds in the air secretly watching, and there must be no accidents on the way."
As for the grain and straw, it is not too important. The land of Sanfu was originally all rich cities in the southwest, and there was abundant grain in Changping, but when the Hu people invaded, many wealthy families did not even have time to evacuate, and the massive treasures and grains were all served by the Northern Zhou Pot.
If you don't win this battle, you can't talk about insufficient rations, and if you win this battle, do you still need to worry about food and grass? ”
Zhang Gu's words were bland.
However, the meaning of the words is not bland at all.
Sima Rou had already understood what he meant.
If the whole army is pressed in this battle, or lost, it is naturally a loss of soldiers, under the pursuit of the wolf cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, among the ten stops, it is good to be able to leave one adult horse.
The rest of the population is only a few thousand, and there is still no need to worry about any food, just hunt and kill some horses, and you can run back to Xingqing Mansion.
Otherwise, you can flee to another place, and you can find a place to eat nearby, so you don't have to worry too much.
If this battle is won, these three prefectures and 28 counties, dozens of rich and wealthy families, just find a few households, and everyone can eat a smooth meal.
In a way, the land of Sanfu that was destroyed was actually a natural place of "Longxing", and the old order had all collapsed, including fields, shops, minerals, grain, etc., all of which could be taken over by the government.
Since ancient times, white paper is easy to paint.
What kind of pattern to draw depends on what the ruler thinks.
Even, in Zhang Gu's tendonous head, he would feel that the land of Sanfu was better governed than those places in Xingqing Mansion and Hexi County.
The only worry is that there are too few people.
But does the world need to worry about population?
Not at all.
In the north, there were famines, and the soldiers were in chaos, and in the south, bandits were everywhere, and the people were displaced.
After a while, hundreds of thousands of displaced people will flock to the city.
I heard that there is a His Royal Highness King Ping in the land under the jurisdiction of the southwestern provinces, which can keep the people fed and clothed, and can make people live like people, even if they climb, they have to climb over.
"That's true."
Sima Rou's face was full of relief.
She didn't know why her precious apprentice deliberately wrote a letter to let her senior brother Zhang Gu command 30,000 cavalry, at this time, when she heard Zhang Gu talk about the battle situation, and saw him issue various military orders in an orderly manner, she felt quite smooth, she knew that she was still blind after all.
These disciples are all growing rapidly.
They must not be viewed through the same eyes as before.
Zhang Gu, in the past eight years, has gone from an ignorant and stupid peasant youth to a conscientious and conscientious teaching of martial arts disciples, handling some chores in an orderly manner, and seems to have no opinions at all.
Even if it's a talent for martial arts, I don't really see how good it is.
At the age of twenty-seven, he broke through the silver body realm of the Mixed Yuan Golden Body Method, which can be described as one step at a time, although he walked steadily, but he was not fast at all.
In the hearts of Han Wushu and Sima Rou.
This can be trusted, and he has long been regarded as the eldest disciple of his own family, but he is actually a middle-aged person.
But what?
There's an old saying that says well.
"Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have."
Zhang Gu, how could he not be delayed by some vulgar eyes?
is like Han Xiaoru, the girl in her own house, and Zhang Gu, the big disciple in front of her.
Even, there are those disciples who are completely inconspicuous and look ordinary on weekdays, it is very likely that as long as they are given a chance to experience, they will be reborn as if they were reborn, and they will no longer be the mediocre appearance of the past.
Who would have thought that he could easily lead an army of 30,000 cavalry, and the marching command was like an arm's finger, and his cultivation had reached the innate realm, the middle stage of the golden body. In the past, I am afraid that I never dreamed that this disciple who was as stone-like as a stranger turned out to be a great general. ’
Sima Rou, the newly promoted supervisor, sighed in his heart, and felt like he was re-acquainted with the big disciple of his martial arts hall, only to feel that his three views were subverted little by little.
I couldn't believe my eyes at all.
If Chen Ping was here, he would tell her.
In fact, the gap between people is sometimes very large, and sometimes it is not large.
The difference is nothing more than an experience, a vision and insight, a lifetime of ordinariness, maybe just because they have no chance.
I didn't meet the noble people in my life.
In Chen Ping's last life, in history, a prodigal son who beheaded the White Snake Uprising relied on the help of a few good brothers he knew in his hometown, and finally won the country.
And those old brothers, all of them have become generals, and they have all left their names in history.
Could it be because the "white snake slasher" is really destiny, he goes out casually, and the few friends he knows casually are famous generals and prime ministers, what a coincidence.
The truth of the matter is simple.
The times make heroes, that's all.
Looking at Zhang Gu like this, Sima Rou had mixed feelings for a while, and felt that the most correct thing that his husband and wife had done in their lives might be that day, when they accepted Chen Ping as an apprentice.
No, it was that night, on a whim, I took my daughter to the mountain to rescue.
The cause of the past, the effect of today.
That trip was about to go out, not only did he pick up a precious apprentice, but also made the Mixed Yuan Martial Arts Hall, and even the Mixed Yuan Sect, reborn from the ashes, and climbed to an unimaginable height.
The future is limitless.
There are some things that I really don't understand.
But just follow along.
As the nominal master, although he couldn't teach anything, Sima Rou still held the mentality of an old mother, secretly worried about the apprentices who were fighting to the death of the Hu people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the distance.
She sighed softly: "Along the way, I seem to have heard many military advisors secretly calling Xiao Jiu His Royal Highness King Ping, and I don't know if it's inappropriate......
This is indeed the case.
Zhang Gu also nodded, but he didn't have any worries, and said with a smile: "Senior sister is too worried, ninth junior brother...... Well, His Royal Highness King Ping is actually a last resort.
I guess he was coaxed up by the civil servants and military generals around him...... The people call it spontaneously, where is there so much spontaneity? There are gains and losses in this matter.
If he does not receive the title of prince, it will block the way for many people to be promoted and make a fortune, and it will also make the land of one county and seven prefectures, and the people will be uncertain, and it will inevitably be a little repetitive.
As the territory gets bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people under his command, how can a Xingqing mansion master manage it? ”
It's easy to understand.
If it is still in the name of the lord of Xingqing Mansion or the name of the general, once the will of the imperial court comes, wouldn't it be that the territory of the prefectures is in vain, and in what name will they refuse the reward of the imperial court?
In what name did he follow Chen Ping to resist the Northern Zhou Dynasty?
To put it more selfishly.
Calling back and forth, not for a wife, not for the future high-ranking officials and dragons, where did those people get the heart, follow Chen Ping all the way to the black.
Could it be that everyone really has a very high consciousness and throws their lives lightly, not for themselves, but for the benefit of all sentient beings?
This point, Zhang Gu, who was often hungry when he was a child and was already numb by the oppression of high-ranking officials and nobles, is the clearest.
He knows that human nature can never look at it directly.
Sometimes, there is no good person in this world.
In another scenario, the world is full of good people.
There is a very profound truth in this, and Zhang Gu still can't understand it until now.
But he knew that some people understood, and he just had to follow along.
……
"Third Uncle Ancestor, we really want to set up an ambush in this Tiger Roaring Ridge and trap the 100,000 army of the King of the Jing Sea, you must know that if you take this step, you will never be able to turn back."
Cui Boyu was worried, in the past, he had a white and jade-like appearance, but at this time, he was a little unretouched, not only did his skin become slightly yellow and black, but his eyes were full of unhealthy color.
As a great grandmaster of the Unity Realm, even if it is a great grandmaster of Zaishui, there is no question of yes at all in terms of body, and it is conceivable how much pressure he has endured, and there are many torments in the depths of his soul.
Yes.
Cui Boyu has never been able to figure it out.
The third grandfather of his own family, as a scholar of Shangshu, once led the troops to fight with the Hu people and won a big victory, even if he was a cultivator, he was also a master of the psychic transformation level of the great master of the One Realm, and he actually pressed the entire Cui family under the first battle.
At the beginning, Cui Boyu thought that it was an expedient measure for his third uncle to agree to the gambling contract, and when things changed, he would counterattack, and he couldn't entrust all the thousand-year-old family business and all manpower and material resources to a thief from the rivers and lakes.
For this Xingqing Mansion Lord, it is ten times closer than his own son, and he is almost exhausted.
To what extent?
All the human rights, financial rights, and military rights of Cuijia Hexi County and the 17 counties of the surrounding two provinces were all entrusted to them.
Some of the industries of the Cui family have also been cut, and tens of thousands of people no longer have preferential treatment, so they are treated like ordinary people.
In addition to the fact that the direct family still retains a little thin industry to support their families and meet their daily expenses, it can be said that today's Cui family, let alone the thirteenth family, has to be brighter than their family if they come to a big family in the county.
Even, the name of "King Ping", which is now quietly called by the people, is also secretly instructed and planned by his third grandfather.
Regarding the third uncle ancestor Cui Huchen's "perverse behavior, eating inside and outside", there are even some powerful elders and outstanding juniors in the clan who secretly plot to oppose it, but the third uncle ancestor directly suppressed it with iron and blood, waved the butcher knife with tears, and directly killed him.
Why bother?
Doesn't it mean that as a family, you have to bet on many sides?
With the wealth and force of the Cui family, wait a little longer and pay attention to the changes in the situation, what's wrong with acting so radically and betting on one person?
"Boyu, do you think our Cui family still has a chance to turn back?"
Cui Huchen looked at Cui Boyu beside him, but there was some disappointment in the depths of his eyes.
He once thought that even if his longevity was exhausted, with the support of the two tigers of the Cui family, he would always be able to keep his reputation alive.
As long as you don't make a mistake and pay attention to cultivating family talents, in the past, the Cui family will always be able to last forever and grow stronger.
These days, it seems that this is not the case, and these juniors may not be weaker than others in terms of resources and talents.
However, because of years of peace, there is no crisis and competition within the family, and these juniors have only cultivated to the flesh and skin, but not to the bones.
"There are some things that I can't say clearly, and other people can't understand them, but, Boyu, I hope you can learn to think for yourself, and through appearance, you can see the real crisis of the Cui family, and the crisis is dangerous, which is both dangerous and opportunity. If you can understand, one day, you will be able to take charge of the Cui family, and the old man will have no worries. ”
Cui Huchen said earnestly.
This is the first time he has expressed his intention to let the current Cui family patriarch Cui Lin abdicate the throne and let Cui Boyu serve as the patriarch.
But now it seems that the time is not ripe at all.
Cui Boyu still saw it too shallowly.
"Third Uncle Ancestor!"
Cui Boyu was not only unconvinced on the surface, but also unconvinced in his heart, although he didn't say anything ugly, his eyes betrayed him.
"Ah, you."
Cui Huchen was helpless, looking at the most outstanding one among his grandchildren, he finally couldn't help but analyze it carefully.
"Let's not talk about the heroes of the world, just talk about His Royal Highness King Ping, the blue bird sent a message, I didn't hide it from you, I should know what the battle situation is in front of you, what do you think of this battle?"
Chen ...... His Royal Highness King Ping strongly advocated saving people, and advanced with light soldiers, but the front was quite successful, killing more than 20,000 Hu cavalry, but the back was blocked everywhere, seriously injured and retreated, obviously suffered a big loss, and could not beat the Northern Zhou Hu cavalry, otherwise, there would not be a letter, asking for help. ”
When it comes to battle situation analysis, Cui Boyu is naturally not weaker than others.
He pointed to the avenue down the mountain, the mountains overlapped in the distance, and it seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses, and he shook his head and said: "White Arowana suit, desperate, this person has acted all his life, and he is used to taking risks." You may win 10 games and 100 games, but if you lose once, you'll have nothing. However, in addition to the difficulty of resisting the enemy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there is also an army of 200,000 King Jinghai on his side, and I don't know where he got the confidence that he can level the two-way army.
Even, even he didn't take into account the back road, didn't see the suspicion of the imperial court, and the possible back-to-back raid of the two anti-thieves"
Cui Boyu stretched out his right hand, enclosed the ground with his hand, and drew a big circle from east to west, "This link is linked to one ring, as long as there is a problem in any aspect, there will be no life in this battle, and my Cui family will also have to be buried with him, why bother?" ”
Speaking of this, Cui Boyu's expression began to become depressed again.
He couldn't see the chance of victory at all.
However, everyone in the Cui family got on this big boat again, and it looked like it was about to sink.
"Do you know where the merchants such as the Zhang family in Longchang and the Yuan family in Sihai, as well as the Pei family of the Jiangdong family in the southwest area, have gone now?"
Cui Huchen's face was indifferent, listening to his family's grandson's complaints, and suddenly interjected and asked.
"This ...... I haven't heard of it. ”
Cui Boyu has been following orders to deal with family affairs these days, and he has paid less attention to the outside world, especially some wealthy families and businessmen in the city, basically he has not heard of any movement......
"All are dead, the clan is destroyed, the property is returned to the public, and all are put on the people."
"Think about it, think about it......"
Cui Huchen's tone was cold and quiet, which made people cold to the bone.
"Yes, in the city of Xingqing Mansion, there is not a single rich man, a wealthy family, all of them are gone, but he didn't even hear the rumors.
Even, with the size of the Pei family in Hedong, it stands to reason that its division is also rich and powerful in Xingqing Mansion, and there are many masters...... But he didn't see a single member of the Pei family, and he didn't hear a single person, even if he mentioned a word about the Pei family.
It's like this county and the land of seven mansions, there have never been these people.
"No, Third Uncle Ancestor, you mean ......"
"That's right, that's what you think, King Ping, it's not simple, there are both bodhisattva hearts and thunder means, when you shoot, it's like a spring breeze and rain, silently changing everything, even you and I can't hear a trace of wind, you can imagine how firmly he controls the land under his rule.
Do you still think that the two anti-thieves of the Dongmu Army and the Seven Evil Army can pose a threat to Xingqing Mansion? Do you think that the imperial court and Youjing can regain control of Xingqing Mansion? ”
Cui Huchen finally raised his white eyebrows, looked at Cui Boyu, and mentioned again: "Think about it again, Zhang Gu led 30,000 cavalry to reinforce the battle situation, and Sima Rou was the supervising army...... So, my Cui family led 15,000 cavalry and 60,000 foot soldiers, ambushed in Huroarling Ridge, and calculated the Jing Navy, why didn't I arrange a prison army? Chen Ping is so trustworthy to the old man, is he not afraid of ruining his big things? Have you noticed that Xingqing Mansion can almost be called a whole army, but one of the people is missing. ”
"This ......"
Cui Boyu's forehead was sweating like rain, and he suddenly remembered something: "It's Han Wuxian, yes, it's the strange elders and disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect, some time ago, I heard that all of them are in retreat and cultivation, and more than 30 people have broken through to the Innate Secret Realm, Han Wushu and Sun Yun are already congenital consummation, and they are trying to break through the ...... of the One Realm."
Speaking of this, he slapped his thigh and looked horrified: "Isn't it, this group of people has already arrived in Hexi County?" ”
"What do you think?"
Cui Huchen shook his head, his heart was still too far behind Chen Ping's grandson.
Prime Minister Bai knows that he still presses the sword, and the heart of defense is indispensable.
His Royal Highness King Ping is not only extremely powerful in fighting, but also has a good grasp of people's hearts, and will not give people a chance to make mistakes.
Therefore, from the moment his letter was delivered to him, King Jinghai had to come and be defeated.
The front is still targeting the Northern Zhou wolf cavalry, and the rear has already calculated to the Jing Navy, and one layer deeper, it has also calculated the actions of the Cui family in Hexi, and even, Cui Huchen still suspects that in the huge Xingqing Mansion, he has even dug a big hole for the secret spies of the imperial court, and has begun to lay out the matter of accompanying the capital in Youjing.
As soon as the soldiers and horses move, they bloom on all sides, and if you take one step, you will count ten steps.
Is this something that a young man under the age of eighteen can do?
How many heads do you have to have to be an enemy of such a person before he can cut it off?
