After talking about the wind and snow, Yan Wangqiu pulled Lu Yuan and began to talk about business.

"When the lone king was in the South China Sea, he repeatedly heard that the king was in the north of the river, broke the Zhou people, conquered several cities, and had recovered Tianmen Mansion. It's amazing. ”

Yan Wangqiu first said some flattering words, and then changed his words and asked: "The king has won a lot of battles, and I think I should know a lot about the battle in Tianmen Mansion.

You and I have an alliance between the two countries, and I ask the king to tell me the truth, what is the situation over there?

Now that the handsome soldiers are going north, is it possible to fight? ”

When he was in the South China Sea, in order to urge Yan Wangqiu, the imperial envoy could be said to be a good news in a few days, and it was never broken.

But things in the world can never only be superficial.

Although the imperial court said that it was a success, Yan Wangqiu was still suspicious of the war in Tianmen Mansion.

He still remembered that when he left Dongting County half a year ago, the Zhou people in Jiangbei had hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were overwhelmed by Mount Tai and were about to cross the river at any time.

At that time, how prestigious was the Beiyu?

Why is it that only a few months have passed, and the Zhou people are not good?

This is clearly unreasonable.

Therefore, under Yan Wangqiu's thoughts, he naturally felt worried. When I finally saw Lu Yuan this time, I wanted to learn the truth of the matter from my ally.

Lu Yuan listened to Yan Wangqiu's question, groaned in his heart, and finally said: "Now that the handsome soldiers are going north, they can naturally fight." It's just that this fight is not as easy as outsiders think. ”

Yan Wangqiu frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Yuan sighed and said: "This time to recover Tianmen Mansion, although in the eyes of outsiders, it was the imperial court that broke the Zhou people and defeated them. But in reality, this is not the case. ”

Looking at his ally, he told the truth: "In this Northern Expedition, although our coalition forces fought hard, they had the courage to be the first. It did win several battles and forced the Zhou people to retreat.

But these victories were all miserable victories.

The battle of Jiangbei was seven large and small, and more than 100,000 troops were mobilized. After repeated times, although he won every game, he also captured more than 70,000 Zhou people.

But our losses are no less than 50,000.

Moreover, after interrogating the prisoners, the soldiers and horses lost by the Zhou people this time were all the original Yue soldiers and Qiang people, and the elite soldiers of the Zhou State did not suffer much loss.

Therefore, although the Zhou people were defeated in successive battles, the main force of the Zhou people was not damaged, and there were still 240,000 soldiers.

Even at this time, they had retreated to the rear, shortened the logistical supply, and held the fortified city, and it was not as easy as before to break it.

Therefore, this time I can go north, and I can fight. But if you want to make a result, if you don't kill more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, I'm afraid you won't see results. ”

Just as Lu Yuan wanted to consume the Miao people in China to surrender troops through this Northern Expedition, the Zhou people also had the idea of consuming a wave of miscellaneous soldiers through the Northern Expedition of the Yue people this time.

So after a series of battles, the coalition forces looked like they were gaining momentum, but in fact, they didn't take much advantage.

Even if the Zhou people retreated at this time, they were not afraid of the coalition army.

After all, at this time, the Zhou people still had 2340,000 soldiers and horses, and the coalition army only had about 200,000 left.

The other side has more soldiers and horses, how can he be afraid of you.

When Yan Wangqiu heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath: "If that's the case, my 100,000 Lingnan disciples, I don't know how many of them will be able to return this time." ”

Next to him, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Hugh said Lingnan children." Let's just say that I, Dongting Erlang, have lost nearly 20,000 soldiers since the Northern Expedition. When the war is over, I don't know how many people will survive, and if half of the people will be able to come back. ”

Although most of the 20,000 people killed in the war were Miao people.

But with Lu Yuan's current life, even if he is a Miao person, it is heart-wrenching to lose so much.

With so many centaurs, isn't it good to use them elsewhere?

Now they are all dead in Jiangbei.

When Yan Wangqiu heard this, he didn't expect Lu Yuan to lose so much, so he finally had to sigh: "The war is dangerous, I just hope that this Northern Expedition can end as soon as possible." Then I waited for the nations to stop the army and rest in peace, and from then on I was peaceful and happy. ”

The king of the South China Sea is getting older and older, and now he hates this kind of fighting and killing more and more, and only wants to spend his old age in peace.

Being able to watch the smooth and excessive inheritance of the South China Sea has become an obsession in the other party's heart.

Lu Yuan looked at this heroic twilight and old ally, and sighed in his heart, but said, "I hope so." ”

That being said, I do know it in my heart.

What the other party wants, it is simply impossible to achieve.

Because he doesn't want to, the court doesn't want to, and even the Zhou State and the Liang State will not see the peace in the world.

There is only one way for countries to be peaceful, and that is to have a strong country eliminate other countries, so as to unify the world and integrate the four seas.

In this way, if the world is returned to one country, it will naturally be peaceful and war-free.

But is it possible?

Or how many wars and how many deaths do you have to go through if you want to achieve it?

Until this goal is achieved, the war will never stop.

The topic between the two came to an end in this melancholy.

……

Three days later, with the arrival of Yan Wangqiu, Su Xuange finally led the soldiers and horses and arrived in Changsha City.

Lu Yuan led Yan Wangqiu to greet the other party, and took the time to look at the army under the other party's command, and finally couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Like the army of the South China Sea Kingdom, these northern conscription horses of the Ninghai Kingdom are also made up by some people.

These two countries are still short, and as they guessed before, they can't pull out any elite soldiers and horses at all, so they can only force some strong men to deal with things.

Fortunately, when Lu Yuan was in the beginning, he didn't expect the two countries to do anything in this regard.

What he really values is Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange, the two innate grandmasters.

As long as these two arrive, counting him and Lan Cai'er, the coalition army will be able to form an absolute advantage over the Zhou people in terms of top-level combat power, and there will be four more innate grandmasters.

Four Innate Grandmasters, this is not a small force.

According to one innate grandmaster, it can be calculated as a single person who can break ten thousand troops. The four innate grandmasters, when they get together, are equivalent to 40,000 elite soldiers and horses, and they are on a small range of battlefields.

These are just simple numerical conversions.

In fact, on the real battlefield, on a small scale, the effectiveness that the four grandmasters could play was far greater than that of the 40,000 army.

Just the simplest example.

A fortified city, at most 350,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in the city, and these soldiers and horses are divided into a certain section of the city wall, a certain city gate, and there are only a few hundred or thousands of people.

And in the face of these hundreds or thousands of people, let alone the four innate grandmasters working together. Even if there is only one person, these defenders can be dealt with within a dozen breaths.

In this way, as long as a congenital grandmaster takes the lead, he can quickly clear the defenders in a section of the city wall area and capture a city.

The four of them work together, and without the same number of top-notch combat power interceptions, let's ask which city in the world can hold it?

This is the deterrent power that belongs to the Innate Grandmaster.

It is precisely because of this deterrent effect that even though the Nanhai faction and the Jiuchuan Sword faction did not actually have any elite soldiers and horses, the imperial court still made concessions and compromises in the face of the coercion of the two factions.

Because the court knows that it will not agree to these two factions, even if these people can only pull up some rabble.

But with the cooperation of the Innate Grandmaster, they are really able to conquer the city and be invincible.

At this time, as Lu Yuan and others were bought by the imperial court to recruit An, this pressure was transferred from the imperial court to the Zhou State.

It's just that I don't know, Zhou Guo is tough enough this time, can he carry it?

……

On November 27, the seventh year of Hongdao, the army of Ninghai State rested for a day in the camp outside the city, and then merged with the army of Nanhai State, and the armies of the two countries continued to march towards Jiangbei.

On the third day of December, 200,000 troops from the two countries arrived at Baling City. After resting for two days, he crossed the river and headed north under the help of the Yue National Navy.

On the seventh day of the first month, the army arrived at the Dangyang battlefield in Jingmen Mansion of the Zhou State.

Hearing the news, Wu'an Hou Bai Mengyang personally led the lieutenant general of the army to go out of the camp to pick him up.

At this point, Lu Yuan finally met the famous Wu'an Hou.

"I've seen the King of Changsha, the King of the South China Sea, and the King of Ninghai."

Although they are both innate grandmasters, and even the strength of Wu'an Hou is stronger, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister.

Therefore, when facing Lu Yuan and others, Bai Mengyang still performed the courtesy of a foreign minister.

"Wu Anhou."

Lu Yuan also had a lot of respect for this veteran with great achievements, and after receiving the gift from the other party's courtiers, he immediately returned the salute.

However, Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange are much worse than his performance.

In the face of Bai Mengyang's salute, he didn't dare to bear it and avoided it. Later, he performed the same courtesy, and he didn't have the temperament of a king.

Compared with Lu Yuan, the two of them are obviously much more afraid of this Marquis of Wu An.

Lu Yuan next to him couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this.

I don't understand why my two allies are acting like this, and they have lost their momentum in vain.

Sensing the eyes of their allies, Su Xuange and Yan Wangqiu were also bitter in their hearts.

The two of them also wanted to be tough on this Wu'an Hou, but in their hearts, they really couldn't be tough.

The reason is also very simple, since the outbreak of the Taiping Road Rebellion in Jian'an County, it was this Wu'an Hou who personally led the troops and suppressed it with all his might.

And the Jiuchuan Sword Sect was originally the head snake of Jian'an County, and at that time, it was naturally indispensable to deal with this Wu'an Hou.

During this contact, Su Xuange naturally saw how powerful this Wu Anhou, who was feared as the god of war, was.

It was to this day, and when I look back on the past, I still have a lot of time in my heart.

The same thing.

The previous rebellion in Jinghai Kingdom affected Lingnan with great momentum.

In the end, it was also this Marquis of Wu'an who personally pacified it, and even directly destroyed the Jinghai Kingdom, and classified this place as the Nine True Counties of the Imperial Court.

At the beginning, the two counties of Yulin and Nanhai were not lightly harmed by Jinghai State.

The Nanhai Sect, as the local head snake, had many disciples in the sect who died in this turmoil.

I still remember that at that time, because I couldn't get angry, my disciples were killed, and my hometown was ruined.

Yan Wangqiu even changed the image of a turtle with a shrunken head in the past, took the initiative to take action, found the innate grandmaster of the South China Sea Kingdom, and fought with the other party.

But what about the result......

It becomes clear from a look at the subsequent developments.

Yan Wangqiu was not an opponent, he was directly beaten and fled in embarrassment, and since then he has not dared to get involved in this mess.

Therefore, for the strength of the Jinghai Kingdom, this king of the South China Sea can be said to be quite understanding.

That's a real armor soldier who is sharp and strong, and he can't be taken seriously.

But such a powerful enemy, after the arrival of the Marquis of Wu'an with an army of 100,000, the two counties were originally chaotic, and the Jinghai Kingdom was invincible.

In a short period of time, he was expelled from Nanhai County.

Then in several battles, he was defeated by Bai Mengyang and took tens of thousands of prisoners.

However, after more than a year, he was expelled from the territory of the Yue Kingdom.

After that, Bai Mengyang drove straight in, led the troops into Jinghai Kingdom, and after more than a year, he defeated this southern barbarian hegemon in a row, and surrounded the capital of the other country.

In the back, even among the ten thousand armies, he personally killed the innate grandmaster of the Jinghai Kingdom.

This is the Formation Slash Grandmaster!

Especially the one who is killed, it is not the kind of novice who has just entered the innate for a long time, but the veteran grandmaster who has been famous for decades and has strong combat power.

Not to mention that after this news came out, how much shock did it have in the hearts of other innate grandmasters?

Especially for people like Yan Wangqiu, who once lost to the Grandmaster of Jinghai Kingdom.

Because he knows it well.

The Marquis of Wu Anhou in front of him was able to slash the Grandmaster of the Jinghai Kingdom in the midst of the ten thousand armies, so now he can naturally take his own head among the ten thousand armies.

Such a character is placed in front of his eyes, and he doesn't need to do much, which is a very strong deterrent.

At this time, these two new kings of Lingnan were intimidated.

Regarding the change in the expressions of the two, Bai Mengyang, as a grandmaster, was naturally keenly aware of it.

After smiling in his heart, he didn't deliberately target these two former "old people", but said enthusiastically: "The three kings brought troops here this time, which really solved my urgent need. A banquet has been prepared in the camp, and the three kings are invited to come in quickly. ”

As he spoke, Bai Mengyang glanced at Lu Yuan emphatically, and a different color flashed in his eyes.

This king of Changsha, who has been in the limelight in recent years, is really extraordinary.

In other aspects, he has not yet understood deeply, and he is not good at saying much about Wu Anhou. But it's the courage and bearing, compared to the two next to him, it's much more comfortable.

At least in the face of his god of war, there is no gaffe.

You know, since he became famous, how many people in the world dare to say that they are not afraid in the face of Wu Anhou?

Anyway, in Bai Mengyang's impression, he can still look at ease in the face of himself, and among the people he has seen, there are no more than two hands.

The Lu Yuan in front of him, whether he was young and frivolous, or pretending to be strong, it was enough to see that he was extraordinary if he could show this strength.

This son is really a big trouble for the court, and he needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. Bai Mengyang thought so in his heart.

Lu Yuan didn't know what this Wu Anhou thought, and even if he knew, he would probably laugh it off.

If you want to get rid of him, I'm afraid that Bai Mengyang won't be able to see this scene before he dies.

And this Marquis of Wu'an died, the strength of the imperial court further declined, and it became more and more difficult to get rid of himself, and it was even almost impossible.

That's exactly the case, so Lu Yuan had no scruples in his heart, and when he heard Bai Mengyang's invitation at this time, he smiled and said: "Wu'an Hou Wei is deep in the world, and this king has long been yearning for it. It's a blessing to have a moment today!

I have also been studying military affairs for a long time, and I have a little experience, and in the future, I hope that Wu Anhou can give advice. ”

Between these words, it was quite atmospheric, and he actually planned to discuss military affairs with Wu Anhou.

This is because Lu Yuan saw that his allies were collapsing, and he planned to forcibly prop up this field.
