In the first year of Emperor Xin, Lixia.

"Qi Qi Taishi, the last general arrived in the countryside early yesterday morning,...... The outskirts are barren, and there is no trace of strange beasts...... The last general searched all night and found no trace. ”

In the Taicheng camp, the Taishi of the Great Shang has returned, and he is sitting on the throne of the commander of the Taicheng camp that has just been abandoned.

In the whole cold winter season, the army was trapped for half a year, but fortunately, the army of Chaoge was not in vain, and took advantage of the correction time to deploy a large number of chariots, bows and arrows from other vassal states such as Chaoge and Northern Xinjiang.

After Daizong, and then capture the eleven cities of Beihai, after entering Qingyang Pass, it is the Beihai Plain of Pingchuan.

For this kind of terrain, the tank is the best tool of war at the moment.

Even Wen Zhong specially sent a letter to urgently recruit twelve giant elephants in Chaoge City to attack the city and strive for a quick victory.

Just when Wen Zhong was full of ambition and was ready to lead the army to fight Bi Fang well, Kong Xuan returned empty-handed......

"Xuan Gong, how much do you know about Bi Fang? This kind of arrogant divine beast will also see that the situation is not good and run away? Wen Zhong was puzzled, Bi Fang was a symbol of the fire disaster, and it was also a sacred bird in front of the Yellow Emperor's chariot.

"It's just that Bi Fang can't find it, why are all the strange beasts gone?"

Kong Xuan and Bi Fang are not familiar with each other, but he still knows this naughty firebird very well, it is not bad to say that it is bad, and it is not a good bird to say that it is good, it belongs to the kind of playful bear child character, and he likes to breathe fire and play when he has nothing to do.

There was once a time when she accidentally set fire to the mountain of Zhangguo, and the fire of the mountain angered her good neighbor Hide, who chased the devil from heaven to earth, and had nothing to hide, and several times she almost died in the mouth of the tiger, and finally ran under the plane tree, surrendered to the protection of the phoenix, and escaped the hunt of the hideous.

Therefore, he still has a certain understanding of Bi Fang, this bear child belongs to the character of not admitting mistakes, how can he escape.

"Taishi, I have patrolled the entire suburbs, but there are a lot of bloodstains of ring dogs and carapace people, Bi Fang really has not found it, but in the north of the suburbs, there is a strange place."

"The surrounding vegetation seems to have been struck by lightning, and the central area is half scorched earth and half water, and it seems that there is some more powerful being than Bi Fang who has driven her away."

Wen Zhong pinched the sigil in his arms, and didn't know what to say for a while, this sigil is useless, why did it change again?

This is really strange, to be able to drive away the ancient god bird Bi Fang, and to be good at the power of water, what is the situation? Could it be that the master of the Immortal Mountain came to kill the demons and eliminate the demons?

Unable to think of a specific reason, Wen Zhong motioned for Kong Xuan to take a seat in the first seat on the left hand, and waited for the news of the left and right armies to come back.

The troops are divided into three routes, this is the strategic policy set by Wen Zhong earlier, like a certain young general who does not want to reveal his name, first capture the eleven princely city-states in the Outer North Sea Realm, and then defeat Bi Fang and join Qingyang Pass.

At this moment, the middle road is won without a fight, and only when the left and right roads turn around, they can go straight to Xiongguan, drive straight into the Beihai Plain, and ride their horses and whips.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the camp, which should be the order to return to the camp.

"Report!"

"Returning to the Taishi, the four generals of the Left Route Army Demon Family sent an order, and the left road Qicheng hung the flag of our army."

"Back to the Taishi, General Deng Chanyu of the Right Route Army sent an order, and the flag of our army was hung high in the Dirt City on the right road."

“……”

Wen Zhong and the generals in the tent looked at each other.

In the past, after the rebellion was suppressed and the first evil was killed, it was not uncommon for other rebels to surrender when they heard the news, but it was unheard of for this army to just send out troops, and the enemy changed its flag early.

"Whose flag is it?" Wen Zhong was impatient, and there were twists and turns before he entered the customs to destroy Beihai, he rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tired.

"There are three flags hanging high in the city, Shang, Chong, and Meng."

“……”

The generals were in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

"How is it possible, how long has it been since the snow melted, and the person surnamed Meng can fly into the sky with the troops? As soon as the heavy snow turned into a heavy snowfall, our army reorganized and mobilized materials, and in just a few days, the man surnamed Meng not only did not die, but also pulled out two acropolises in a row. ”

"Say, are you a spy sent by the Yuan thief? Deliberately defrauding us? ”

The most excited person in the camp is Chao Lei, in the past half a year, he has made fun of Meng Wei in the army, comparing him to a rebel general, a cowardly villain.

The report of the present world came too quickly, one of the two city-states was on the left and the other was on the right, both of them were Weijue city-states, even if he and his eldest brother Chao Tian divided their troops to attack, he didn't dare to boast that he could take it in a month, but how much did Meng bring when he tasted it?

A thousand armor rides! Could it be that he is carrying a thousand magic rites? Can both fly and fight?

Wen Zhong was also stunned, when Butterfly Dance mentioned that Meng Wei's bloodline was very special, he didn't take it seriously, how many geniuses have been proud throughout the ages, and there are many people who have become famous at a young age, and they may grow up to the end, and there are very few people who can pass him in heart and character, these so-called young geniuses, there are many in every era, and only a few of them can leave a name in history.

The princes and nobles who have not carried a little ancestral blood, a few thousand years ago, the ancestors of these nobles are not prominent, and the lucky ones who invite the heavens are insignificant.

But the commander has no reason to talk nonsense, if all this is true, this young man is really a piece of jade in Chongcheng.

"Whether it's true or not, you can see it at a glance. Xuan Gong took the headquarters to the right, and I led the army to the left to see how brave this No. 1 warrior in Chongcheng was. ”

Taicheng is not far from the dirt city, a one-day trip.

The army marched to the south gate of the city, Hou Chang and Fenglin had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the Taishi coming, they hurriedly dismounted, and fell to the ground respectfully, and the soldiers and soldiers behind them also put down their swords and bowed their heads to the ground.

"Where is Chongcheng Meng? Where is Deng Chanyu, the general on the left? Wen Zhong saw that the two main generals did not come out to greet him, and asked suspiciously.

"Taishi, General Meng sent good news a day ago, he has taken Qingyang Pass, and he should be stationed on Qingyang Pass at this moment."

"Nonsense, Qingyang Pass is separated from here by three other cities, even if you let your general pass, it will take more than ten days to travel, your general will scatter beans into an army, all the way to the right, all the way to the left, and can even connect four fortified cities?"

Not long after Hou Changcai was promoted to lieutenant, he was still a little timid, and when he heard the reprimand of the master, he was so excited that he didn't know how to reply.

Feng Lin immediately stepped forward and explained: "Taishi, when our army first arrived, Captain Hou informed us that the eleven city-states in the Outer North Sea Territory had been subdued, and General Deng had led the army straight to Qingyang Pass. ”

"Judging from the distance, at least we have arrived in Licheng, and Captain Hou will not tell this big lie."

"Eleven cities, do you know what you're talking about?"

Wen Zhong was furious, and kept muttering 'unheard of' and 'unheard'.

The famous armor and generals of the Chaoge army behind him were also dumbfounded, and their chins couldn't be closed for a long time.

There is no standard answer to who was the first person to carry out the thousand-mile raid, but in the life experience of the generals, they really have never heard of such a thing.

Actually, Feng Lin didn't believe it either, but he who came first, he had already listened to this legendary story completely, and immediately crossed over to Hou Chang in Nene, and explained the reason to the generals and masters.

So the turmoil in the eleven cities was told by the wind forest............

However, it is said that after Meng Wei led the army to break through Qingyang Pass, Deng Zhizhong, the deputy general of Qingyang Pass, led the army to surrender, and then for a period of time, Meng Wei used Deng Zhizhong's Beihai rebel armor cavalry as a reconnaissance cavalry to infiltrate the Beihai Sea inside and outside.

After finding out the reality of the city-states on the right side of the Outer Beihai, Deng Zhizhong was the pioneer and went to the major city-states on the right side to call the door.

Who is Deng Zhizhong? One of the henchmen of Beihai Hou Yuan Futong, and his younger brother Deng Zhixiong are important beings guarding the gates of Beihai inside and outside.

The main forces of the city-states went to the alliance, at this time, the Qingyang guards came to call the door, and the city-state guards did not have any doubts, the gate was opened, and Meng Wei and Zhao Bing, who had changed into rebel armor, led people directly into the city, and attacked the seven cities in the night for seven days.

Since the creation of the Beihai Rebellion, the current greatest feats of the Chaoge army, the unbridled imagination, the bold execution, and the ignorance of the unspoken rules of the war between the princes, made Wen Zhong change his mind a lot about Meng Wei, and his boldness was just like the new king Emperor Xin who followed him on the expedition back then.

The nobles of the seven cities who were subdued, as well as the Bang Bo who stayed behind because of his age, were not convinced, but the soldiers were in the direction, and the Bang Bo of the city who took the initiative to rebel against the merchants and many nobles in the city were escorted to the city to be guarded, and Deng Zhizhong desperately persuaded the other passively coerced Bang Bo and the nobles, and ate the seven fortified cities with a slight twist and turn.

Sun Tzu said: The first army is to fight, the second is to fight, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city.

It's just that this kind of behavior is not good to evaluate, and the lessons of the past and the division of the future will be said by future generations that he has brought a bad atmosphere of war? Meng Wei doesn't care, winning is a good thing, and losing is nothing.

In the eyes of Chao Lei and others, this is not an honor, a shame, a ghost trick, and a villain's behavior.

They are upright teachers, and they still have to do such a sneak attack against weak princes? Even Deng Chanyu, who likes to hurt people with hidden weapons, did not escape Chao Lei's abuse.

But for Wen Zhong, he does not reject this kind of behavior, the two armies are fighting, sticking to the old rules is to win, and the sneak attack is also to win, and if you can achieve your goal, you are the real hero. Well, the premise is that he has to be his own person, otherwise he should be scolded or scolded.

At least Wen Zhong thinks that he can't do this himself, Taishi has always been upright in his use of soldiers, and he can defeat the enemy head-on, why do you need these tricks, decades of traditional war thinking make him appreciate such a young man, but he can't copy it.

Looking around, the blue-green wheat had already tasseled, Wen Zhong looked at Hou Chang gently and asked softly: "Why are there so few vegetables and vegetables, our army marches all the way, and there are some unpalatable wheat seeds?" ”

Hou Chang came back to his senses, turned over his horse after confessing, and ran desperately towards the city.

Wen Zhong was not annoyed, and sat on the ink unicorn and quietly looked at this sparsely populated but vibrant city.

Before, he was surprised that he had not yet noticed the feat of even the eleven cities, but now he opened his eyes and looked at the city carefully, the doors were not closed, the roads were clean and tidy, and the pedestrians and farmers on the road also saluted each other with smiles on their faces.

What is even more surprising is that many of the servants and soldiers above the city are actually slightly thin black-faced prisoners and slaves.

This kid is bold, although there are not many soldiers at the head of the city, only a hundred people, but after all, they are prisoners and slaves, and they are really young people from the mountains and wilderness, and he dares to do things that many people dare not think of.

The spirit and appearance of these slaves are completely different from what Wen Zhong usually sees, and there is still some fear of the military might of the Chaoge army between their expressions, but even so, these people are still straightening their waists, holding their heads high, and not squinting, like terracotta figurines and bronze people.

It's good, it's the Meng style who likes to practice strange military formations in the barracks, and only he cares so much about these "formal" things.

Pointing to the slaves and prisoners, Wen Zhong asked, "This is also General Meng's feat?" ”

Feng Lin replied: "The last general has inquired that these prisoners were originally from good families in the city, and they were sent to prison for disobeying Yuan Futong's rebellion, and they were tortured, what about this slave...... This matter is slightly disgraceful. ”

"Tell me the truth."

"This ...... The slaves have always known only their mothers, not their fathers, so a child has as little as two or three fathers, and as many as four or five fathers, and these hundreds of slaves are all children in the family who were taken in by General Meng for training in the infant camp, so they are half threatening, half grateful for General Meng's kindness, and then join the camp. ”

"Shameless villain, he used a child as a hostage, and even a slave was coerced, Taishi, we are simply ashamed to be with this person!" Chao Lei was furious, as if he felt sorry for this group of poor enslaved people.

Letting Chao Lei be noisy, Wen Zhong was silent, looking at these servants who did not move under the might of the army, he seemed to be thinking about something.

At the south city gate, Hou Chang rode his horse and whipped up, holding a food box in his hand.

"Taishi, this thing is made by steaming after wheat milling, General Meng called it 'steamed bun', but please taste it."

Wen Zhong looked at the 'white ash stone' that Hou Chang offered with both hands, drank back from Chao Lei, who seemed to want to step forward and continue to make noise, solemnly took the 'steamed bun', tore off a petal, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

It's sweet, it's a little dry, but it's a good thing, if the dry 'steamed bun' is on the water, it should be more satisfying.

Wen Zhong's eyes lit up, where is this Puyu, this is simply my big businessman's farmer Yin Liangcai, this is the only one, comparable to the work of eleven cities.

Under the continuous natural disasters of Dashang, there is another artifact to continue the national fortune?
