It was noon, the golden sun was shining in the sky, and some of the original dense fog on the river surface had completely dissipated.

Busy soldiers walked back and forth on their horses, and auxiliaries dragged corpses aside, sorting them for stacking.

The bodies of the Zhou people will be burned intensively, and the remains will eventually be buried in the pit.

The corpses belonging to the Chu people will be burned separately according to the identity tag, and the ashes and bereavements will finally be sent back to his hometown.

Buckets of clean water were beaten out of the river by the soldiers, and then poured on the dock splints, washed and washed with improvised cleaning.

More soldiers began to line up neatly, and then divided into battalions of soldiers and horses, led by their respective generals, along the official road behind the docks, quickly slaughtered the towns.

Some of them also stayed behind and began to collect the captured Zhou soldiers and people, and told them to take care of them.

Of course.

More people still gathered on the boat, and at this time, they followed the flagship and continued to go up the Han River, quickly moving deep into Hanzhong County.

"Chief, the harvest losses of this battle have been counted."

On the cold river, a flagship, a man dressed in a green robe and dressed as a civil official hurriedly walked over, saluted Qingyunzi, and then reported: "After counting, there are about 120,000 thieves this time, including 12,000 Zhou people and about 110,000 people.

Our army killed about 2,000 Zhou soldiers and captured 8,000 people, and more than 2,000 Zhou soldiers fled. More than 5,000 people were killed, more than 70,000 were captured, and more than 30,000 escaped.

The captives had been taken into custody, and the fleeing enemy had arranged for them to be pursued along the road, and when they had captured the nearby towns, they could be easily annihilated.

In addition, our army suffered about 700 casualties in this battle, including more than 300 dead, more than 200 seriously wounded, and more than 200 lightly wounded.

The deceased have been resettled, and the wounded have been treated by military doctors, all in accordance with the regulations.

In addition, the one million taels of silver brought by the Zhou people for the first transaction were also confiscated on the wharf, and someone has sealed the warehouse for storage. ”

With the continuous growth of the Chu army, after more than 20 years of war, many norms and regulations have already been summarized and established in the army.

At this time, it was only an hour after the war, but the basic amount of harvest and other battle losses had been quickly counted by the officials in the army, which could be described as full of efficiency.

"Hmm."

After listening to the official's report, Qing Yunzi responded, and then waved his hand: "Since there is no problem, then let's deal with it as usual." ”

"Yes."

The green-robed petty officer behind him nodded, and then bowed and retreated.

Qingyunzi was still standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the mountains and rivers in front of him.

A raid in the early morning of this morning, and nothing unexpected happened.

The Zhou people were completely defenseless, the Chu State had been deliberate for a long time, coupled with the absolute superiority in the number of soldiers and horses, under a wave of surprise attacks, the defense on the dock was broken in an instant.

Those Zhou people didn't have time to organize defense, let alone react, and they were defeated and captured.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many Zhou people, the total number of soldiers and civilians exceeded 100,000, making it impossible to catch all of them in a hurry, and it would be impossible to even rout the army at this time.

Of course.

Even if tens of thousands of people escaped, it was nothing.

This time he sent troops to Hanzhong County, and Qingyunzi brought a lot of soldiers and horses along the way, with 90,000 people on land and water.

With a wave of his hand, he divided 20,000 men and horses, and ordered them to pursue them along the road and capture the towns along the way.

Now the main force of soldiers and horses in the west of Hanzhong County of the Zhou people has been defeated, and in Nanjiang Prefecture, Hanzhong, which is adjacent to Xicheng County, there is no garrison force except for those deserters.

With 20,000 soldiers and horses, it will not be long before they can successfully take this county, and even further north and south, and capture the other two prefectures of Baishi and Xixiang in the western part of Hanzhong.

"No, over there in Baishi Mansion, it's close to Jianmen Pass. Now that my side has launched a surprise attack, Huang Xuan's side should have also launched an attack.

He also had 50,000 soldiers and horses there, as well as himself, another doppelganger equivalent to the Innate Second Realm.

Maybe before the partial division I detached moves, Baishi Mansion will be taken by another line of soldiers and horses from Xichuan. ”

Qing Yunzi thought like this in his heart, and couldn't help but feel secretly pity.

It's not that he didn't get more credit for not getting more credit for himself, and I think there's something to regret.

As a doppelganger, Qingyunzi is essentially one with Lu Yuan, and they are both equivalent to the masters of the Chu State.

Since he is the master, it naturally doesn't matter if he is meritorious.

What he felt a pity was that in this transaction, Dongfang Wuyun, the general of the Southern Pillar State of Zhou, did not come forward in person.

As originally planned.

If that Dongfang Wuyun came forward in this first transaction between the two countries, then Qingyunzi needed to personally attack at the time of the transaction and directly get rid of this general of Zhou Guozhen guarding Hanzhong.

But I didn't expect the plan to be as good as the change.

The first trade between the two countries, the transaction of millions of taels of silver, whether it is meaning or value, is an extremely important event, and that Dongfang Wuyun did not come forward?

Is it precautionary?

Or do you not pay attention to it?

Qing Yunzi thought for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

Although he inherited some of the memories and wisdom of the body, his limited divine thoughts could not support him to think about more things.

This kind of consideration that requires deep digging and using his brain is not suitable for a doppelganger like him.

Fortunately, no matter whether you can figure this matter out or not, it doesn't matter the overall situation.

No matter what that Dongfang Wuyun thought, he had already led people to Hanzhong County at this time.

At that time, the soldiers came to the south of Zheng City, surrounded the guy in the city, so that he could not escape, and then shot and killed him.

Killing a mere innate first realm grandmaster was not a very difficult thing for Qing Yunzi.

He was confident that he would do this well and fulfill the instructions of the ontology.

"But before that, I have to hurry up, and before the news spreads, before Nan Zheng's side reacts, I will come to the city with troops, so as to cut off the other party's retreat."

Thinking of this, Qingyunzi sighed lightly.

This raid is a quick word.

It's so fast that the other party is not prepared, so fast that the other party doesn't have time to react.

Now the first step has been successfully completed.

But this second step ......

Looking at the fleet under him that was already moving forward desperately, but because it was the Shuojiang River, sailing against the current, the speed was still not too much, he couldn't help but shake his head.

At this speed, even if you sail all the way, day and night, when you arrive at Nanzheng City, the fastest will be two days later.

And two days.

If Zhou Ren is clever, it will be enough to transmit what happened on the dock back to Nanzheng City.

Although even if the other party knows, it will be difficult to organize effective defense in just one or two days.

But this is a hidden danger after all.

"You have to think about it in advance to ......"

Qingyunzi frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned around, recruited a personal soldier, and after the others arrived in front of him, he ordered: "Order General Luo Cheng, after arriving at Taibai Mansion later, he will land at Yunpu Wharf."

Then let him lead his headquarters of 20,000 soldiers and horses to capture the city of Baishifu.

After occupying the capital city, he led another army and horse to the north, captured Xiegu Pass, and completely cut off the connection between Hanzhong County and Zhouren Guannei County in the north. ”

Hanzhong County is surrounded by mountains and can be described as a small basin surrounded by mountains.

Among them, to the east of Hanzhong County, there is Hanshui connecting Xiangyang County. To the south, at the place where it communicates with Xichuan County, there is a Jianmen Pass that separates the north and the south.

To the west, at the junction with Longxi County, there is a Yangping Pass blocking the main road. To the north and Kannai County, there is the Seiya Pass.

These three passes and one water are all dangerous, and if they can be fully relied upon, they are enough to block the Quartet and keep the enemy out.

Since there was no way to completely block the news from reaching Nanzheng City, Qingyunzi simply didn't bother to stop it.

His purpose was only to completely annihilate the Zhou soldiers in Hanzhong County, and by the way, capture and kill the general of the Southern Pillar Kingdom, Dongfang Wuyun.

At this time, Qingyunzi can't predict what the other party wants to do, what will he do?

But he can guarantee that the other party can't do anything.

For example, he sent troops to capture Xiegu Pass first, blocking the way for the Zhou people to flee north.

Then let Huang Xuan of the Southern Route Army lead light troops to seize Yangping Pass in the west from the south.

In this way, the three passes and one water in Hanzhong County are all in the hands of the Chu State, so the Zhou people in this county will naturally become the turtle in the urn, and they will no longer be able to escape.

"This matter needs to be notified to Huang Xuan, in order to ensure time, it is better to contact the ontology and let him go and talk to the other party."

Qing Yunzi thought about it, then closed his eyes slightly, concentrated his thoughts, and began to contact the main body thousands of miles away.

Although the body and the doppelganger can be connected by tens of millions of miles.

But this communication channel is limited to ontology and doppelgangers. There is no such ability between the doppelgangers outside the body.

So at this time, even if Qingyunzi wanted Huang Xuan to cooperate, on the premise of not wasting time, he could only tell the body his plan first, and then let the body inform Huang Xuan.

It's a bit troublesome to do, but compared to sending a messenger to Huang Xuan's side on his side, it takes a day and a half, and it's already much faster.

……

In the Huaguang Palace, Lu Yuan was summoning the envoys of the Fan people and telling them about the fact that he had sent troops to Hanzhong today.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pause when he felt the resonance and connection outside, and his eyes were slightly condensed.

"Hmm...... Do you need Huang Xuan's cooperation? ”

After receiving the news, he whispered inaudibly, and then his eyes were also slightly closed, and the information received from Qingyunzi was transmitted to Huang Xuan through the connection between the body and the clone.

This came and went, and when the news was finished, it was only five or six breaths.

The envoy of the Fan people below who was so fast thought that the King of Chu in his eyes was only slightly stunned, and then quickly came back to his senses, and did not notice anything unusual at all.

"Your Majesty, you said that the State of Chu had begun to attack the State of Zhou at this time, but with all due respect to the foreign ministers, the foreign ministers have not heard any news of the State of Chu's troops these days, nor have they seen any signs of moving troops.

Whether this news is true or not, it is difficult for the foreign minister to judge. ”

One of the five envoys of the Tibetan people below was a burly strong man with a look of embarrassment and said: "With such a one-sided statement, the foreign minister can't send a message back to the snow field at all, and there is no way for the spirit girl to leave for Chu now." ”

Although instinctively from the heart, the five envoys believed in their hearts that the king of Chu would not deceive himself.

After all, this deception has no meaning and can be easily exposed.

But the same.

As this envoy said, Chu State's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea this time was really well implemented.

Before launching, not only did he hide it from himself, but also from outsiders.

Before the news from Hanzhong came back, no one dared to believe that the state of Chu had begun to declare war on the state of Zhou.

Because at this time, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu and Zhou are still the semi-allies who are preparing to trade grain and are in the honeymoon period.

Under this kind of appearance, who would dare to believe that the Chu State would not agree with each other, and even premeditated the action against the Zhou State?

You must know that the state of Chu has just died, a congenital and a prime minister, and there is some turmoil inside and outside the court.

On the border, hundreds of thousands of troops in Ningguo are still staring at Jiangdong?

Under the internal and external troubles, how dare the Chu State, how could it have the courage to attack the Zhou State?

Even the Fan people, who had already reached an alliance with the Chu State, did not dare to believe that the Chu State had really made a move without any signs.

As a matter of fact.

Since the trip of the covenant, as time passed, seeing that there was still no movement on the side of the Chu State, these Tibetan people were a little anxious in their hearts, and began to wonder if the Chu State wanted to cheat a sum of money from them, but in fact, they did not plan to deal with the Zhou State.

Based on this suspicion, they were all a little impatient, and wanted to urge lobbying to let Chu fulfill the covenant quickly.

Unexpectedly, before they had time to act, the king of Chu summoned them and told him that he had already done it.

"There is no doubt about it."

Looking at the few envoys below who were a little surprised, Lu Yuan didn't care about their suspicions, and just said: "Gu has just received the news, and this time I have appointed the two soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and they have already begun to act.

In particular, the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang, where the main force is located, have already broken through the Zhou people's western garrison in Hanzhong, and are heading towards the county town of Hanzhong at this time.

If you hurry up, you may be able to take Nanzheng City in less than three or five days. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile confidently.

As for whether the two-way army of Qingyunzi and Huang Xuan could take Hanzhong County, Lu Yuan did not have the slightest doubt.

The two soldiers and horses are combined, there are 140,000 troops, and there are two masters of the second realm who are quite congenital, and the lineup is commonly known as luxury.

In contrast, the people of Zhou on the opposite side, plus the soldiers of the county government, were only 50,000 people.

At this time, more than 10,000 of these 50,000 soldiers and horses have been annihilated by Qingyunzi, and more than 30,000 people are left, which are also distributed in various prefectures and county passes in Hanzhong County, which is actually only enough to maintain law and order.

The remaining innate grandmasters are the only ones who have a first-realm existence, Dongfang Wuyun.

With such a little strength, how can he stop the thunderous offensive of the Chu State?

The only variable in this plan is actually that Dongfang Wuyun sensed that something was wrong, and then learned from Li Xiong at the beginning, directly abandoned the army, and escaped thousands of miles.

In the face of an innate grandmaster who is not facing you at all and wants to escape, even if Huang Xuan and Qingyunzi join forces, you can only watch the other party's back leave, in vain.

However, considering the extremely low death rate of the innate grandmaster in this world, before Huang Xuan and Qing Yunzi broke through the prestige of an innate killer like Lu Yuan, they should not be worried that Dongfang would flee without a cloud.

It is likely that the other party will still stay in Nanzheng City after hearing the news, and then try to gather troops and horses and wait for reinforcements from the Zhou State.

If this is really the case, then when Qingyunzi and Huang Xuan lead the army to arrive at the foot of Nanzheng City, and the two of them join hands, they can definitely kill this person.

Of course.

Regardless of whether Dongfang Wuyun is fighting or fleeing, it will not hinder the overall situation at all.

Being able to kill such an innate grandmaster and further weaken the Zhou State, Lu Yuan was naturally happy.

If you can't kill it, it's nothing.

Anyway, Huang Xuan was going to stay in Hanzhong County to guard afterwards.

With this doppelganger, as long as the Zhou State does not come to attack the country, there are usually three or four innate grandmasters, and the Chu State is not afraid of it at all.

With Huang Xuan's strength, it is enough to deal with it easily.

and mobilized six or seven congenitals, more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, and poured the country into attack......

Lu Yuan was very skeptical, can the current Zhou State still gather so much strength?

Besides, even if the other party can really mobilize.

If you want to dispatch so many soldiers and horses, the movement will definitely not be small, and before the other party has sent troops, the spies of the Chu State have already sent the news back.

At that time, the state of Chu can naturally mobilize and go north to compete with the state of Zhou.

Therefore, the small-scale soldiers and horses can't help Huang Xuan.

With large-scale soldiers and horses, the Chu State can also prepare in advance.

The sum of the two is already about equal to Hanzhong County, and it is completely safe and sound.

It's just that Lu Yuan is so confident in his heart, and others don't know his confidence and hole cards, but they are indispensable to doubt it.

Here are the five messengers.

"The state of Chu has already won the first battle?"

They listened to Lu Yuan's words, and a sense of absurdity arose in their hearts.

The king of Chu in front of him has always been with them, never left, and no outsiders have ever come in.

Now the king of Chu said that he had received news from the battlefield thousands of miles away, which naturally aroused everyone's suspicions, thinking that this was a trick by the king of Chu to deceive them.

However, the messenger of the Great Mo Sect did not directly identify it as a lie like the other four companions.

Instead, he remembered the somewhat strange and unreasonable momentary stunned behavior of the King of Chu just now, and then thought that in the hands of the King of Chu, it was likely that he had some kind of means of teleportation for thousands of miles in an instant.

In this world where immortal laws exist, this kind of method is actually not unusual.

In the past, when the aura was abundant, let alone thousands of miles of transmission, even if it was thousands of miles of transmission, it was actually just waiting for leisure.

In essence, their Da Mo Sect is actually a sect of cultivating immortals, but because of the influence of the decline of aura, they have slowly changed from cultivating immortals to practicing martial arts.

But no matter how much it changes, the foundation still can't change.

In the Da Mo Sect, there is a similar secret technique of transmitting sound for thousands of miles.

That is, now that the immortal qi of heaven and earth is exhausted, all kinds of immortal methods are gradually hidden, and this kind of method is slowly unknown to ordinary people.

Therefore, it is normal for the other four tribal envoys to be suspicious because they are not aware of this method.

But this messenger of the Great Mo Sect can come on behalf of the First Sect, and his status is naturally extraordinary, and of course he knows some immortal secret techniques.

At this time, the slightest reminder immediately comes to mind of this verse.

"Since the King of Chu said so, he didn't think about it to deceive us."

After gradually having some speculations in his heart, without waiting for the envoys of the four tribes next to him to speak, the envoy of the Da Mo Sect took the first step and said: "Since the Chu State has fulfilled the covenant, the foreign envoy will teleport to the Islam later to inform him of this matter."

It's just that the spirit girl is my goddess of the snow field, with a noble status, and she is worshiped by the name of thousands of snow fields.

The marriage of the spirit girl is something that has not happened in the snow field for thousands of years.

It is to invite the Chu State to give corresponding etiquette and send people to greet them in advance to soothe people's hearts. ”

Lu Yuan looked at the envoy of the Great Mo Sect who opened his mouth, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his heart.

The reason why he took the initiative to expose that he could communicate thousands of miles was not only to get married as soon as possible, but also to test these snowy people and deter them by the way.

Now it seems.

The other four tribal envoys don't talk about it, just ordinary people.

But this messenger of the Great Mo Sect did have some skills, saw the hidden meaning behind his words, and made a statement.

Not bad.

If an envoy can have such ability, then as one of the two spirits, the spirit girl of the Great Mo Sect should be able to bring more surprises to herself.

Maybe what he married was not a self-proclaimed goddess, but a real goddess.

The inheritance of the god Damo may not be completely severed.

Thinking like this in his heart, looking at the solemn envoy of the Great Mo Sect, Lu Yuan said kindly: "The envoy can rest assured, the status of the spirit girl is noble, and the lonely heart is also extremely respectful.

This time to welcome the spirit girl to Chu, my Chu country is willing to use the queen's gift to never make the spirit girl wronged. ”

Well, it's just that the greeting etiquette is the queen's courtesy.

But after the spirit girl got married, her identity could only be a concubine.

For Lan Caier, the original partner, Lu Yuan still has a lot of feelings in his heart, and he can't do things that are ruthless and ruthless.
