Maybe it was Shen Gongbao who successfully persuaded Xi Bohou, or maybe it was Hong Yao's surrender and hugging his thighs that deeply stung Ji Chang.

Throughout the winter, Zhou not only did not enter a dull winter break, but launched an assembly and mobilization order in full swing.

The merchants who came from the west were not ordered to stay in the Zhou State, and still went in and out of Zhoudi, Hexi and Jizhou, selling materials back and forth, but a stormy atmosphere of war permeated Xiqi, and countless merchants who liked to follow the army to open a military market gathered.

In the matter of the war, Ji Chang did not listen to the guidance of Shen Gongbao as a Taoist, but according to his own understanding, combined with the art of war chapter of the "New Book of Mengyu", he secretly changed the conscription order, and threatened that the opportunity for revenge had come, and the great revenge of the Dog Rong Rebellion two years ago would be returned ten times in the spring of next year.

A mighty battle of the Second Dog Rong is about to be staged, and countless Rong merchants pretending to be merchants are frightened and panicked, and go to the north of Qishan to bring the news of the war back to the Rong people.

Ji Chang didn't care either, and let the Rong clan shrink back on defense, just giving him a chance.

A winter snow arrived early, but in just two days, it turned into a heavy snow of swan feathers, sweeping the land from north to south, wrapping the world in a white silver.

Today's wind and rain are even worse, all the way across the Yangtze River, across southern Xinjiang, and towards Lingnan.

In such a danger of heaven and earth, everyone huddled at home, and only when the firewood source was not enough, would they open the locked door and go to the field to pick up some dead branches and leaves.

In such weather, the whole winter crop basically failed, and Donglu and southern Xinjiang, because of the problem of grain reserves, once again turned into purgatory on earth, and countless people were frozen to death and starved to death, and some Yi and Rong tribes began to eat each other.

Countless capable people and princes looked at the sky, looking at the invisible Nine Heavenly Palace, is this kind of weather also what the sky wants to see?

Meng Ji, Chaoge, and Zhou are considered to have surplus food in their families, and for the three forces that have a relatively strong effort to protect the people, the rest of the countries have entered a difficult season of survival.

Braving the heavy snow, Meng Wei once again stepped into the silver-covered heaven and earth, alone with a bird and a bird, flying towards the North Sea, wanting to ask Yu Yi, as the god of winter and the god of water in the north, whether she knew the tragic situation that happened between heaven and earth.

Yu Yi didn't say much, but just told Meng Wei to wait patiently, and after throwing a large piece of faded feathers into the sea, he then fluttered his wings and flew into the distance, leaving Meng Wei alone in the North Sea blowing a cold wind, a little unclear.

The cold winter gradually deepened, and the wind and snow did not weaken, but Yu Yi did not return for a long time, and I don't know who she finally went to, what the result was, and where she went.

It wasn't until the cold had passed that the first rays of sunlight appeared between heaven and earth, and the long-lost warmth shone on the earth again.

Far away in the Xiqi City of the Zhou State, the snow turned earlier than Meng Ji, and at this moment it was ready to go, with complete armor and sharp blades, and the mighty and joyful merchants crossed Qishan and headed towards the north.

It was only when choosing Duyumen or crossing the Qilian Mountains that the army suddenly turned around and moved in from the direction of the Qilian Mountains.

Several big businessmen begged the main general Nangong Shi and the second son of the army Ji Fa with a puzzled attitude, but the reply was: "In previous years, we all went to the Jade Gate to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and the "New Book of Mengyu" said that it was unprepared and unexpected, and this year we took the Qilian Mountain detour, and we will definitely be able to achieve unexpected harvests." ”

There are wise people, looking at the map to the exit of the mountain range in the north of Binzhou, they are immediately alert, and they immediately flee with their goods and slaves, while those who are slow to react, looking at the natural danger and obstruction, and at the same time after detouring the road to open the Rong base camp as much as three times the distance, they also stopped, feeling that the march was too far and had little effect.

There were also some merchants who had been notified in advance and had a good relationship with the Zhou army, but at this moment they poured bitter water, persuaded one peer after another, secretly enjoyed the shortcomings of their competitors, and there was a group less people who divided their interests.

The soldiers were also very puzzled, but the tiger charms were there, and the second son Ji Fa was the deputy marshal in the military formation, so everyone pressed the doubts in their hearts and continued to move forward.

Ji Fa's confidant, Zheng Lun, the general of the army in the army, looked sullen in front of him at the moment, it seemed a little strange, throughout the winter, this little sparrow flying down from the Jade Void Palace did not chirp, and he didn't hate this talented Xiao Kun Dao, every time he looked at this Xiao Kun Dao whose body and face had not fully grown, he always liked to fall into memories.

Zheng Lun handed a bowl of sweet honey water to Meng Yu, and asked kindly, "Little Fairy Gu, why are you so depressed?" ”

I don't know why, every time Meng Yu sees Zheng Lun, no matter what his expression or attitude, Meng Yu has a heartfelt disgust, it's just a good second brother education and teacher education, so that she can put down this unreasonable disgust, and she can still treat everyone who expresses kindness to her normally.

"Ahh I don't know why, I just don't! Open! Heart!! ”

"Hahaha, come on, drink this bowl of honey water, when I was a child, my mother told me that as long as I drink a little sweet when I am not happy, I will become very happy, so I often go to the mountains to dig honeycombs every day when I am unhappy."

Meng Yu pouted, her face was unhappy, she just said the classic quotations of the second brother according to the convention, because this would make her feel cool, but she didn't think about it, as if she had inexplicably beaten the soldiers of the Zhou State with chicken blood? It seems that he has caused a big disaster for his second brother.

Now these people not only have to crusade against Northern Xinjiang, but they also have to pull her together frantically, she can be happy to have a ghost!

Seeing that the villain in front of him didn't buy it, Zheng Lun was not annoyed, and after putting down the pottery bowl, he smiled and talked about the past.

"The little fairy girl began to seek the road of cultivating immortals, seeking to be free, don't be depressed, I think back then, when I was young, I also knew a little girl like you, she was as carefree and carefree as you, but people will grow up, and when they grow up, they will understand a lot of truths that they didn't understand when they were young, and the more they understand, the more unhappy they will become."

"At your age, don't think too much about the things that only adults think about, keep yourself, and insist on being happy, otherwise when you grow up, it will be difficult to be as innocent as you are now!"

Meng Yu was a little disdainful, her second brother didn't know how many times she said this kind of thing, where was it his turn to preach, but Zheng Lun, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, five big and three thick, looked like a reckless man, and didn't think that he had a story when he was young.

"Hey, when you were young, you had a good girl who was carefree, didn't they say that you were always alone? How does it sound, there is a good girl who is a childhood sweetheart. ”

As long as there was gossip to listen to, Meng Yu instantly changed his mood and poked his ears to listen carefully.

"Hahaha, good little fairy girl, I am comforting you, but as a result, you want to listen to the past, this is not good."

With that, Zheng Lun got up and walked behind him, merging into the torrent of marching, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

And Meng Yu, who was in a slightly better mood, also forcibly cheered up, picked up the honey water left by Zheng Lun and finished it in one sip, then patted the dust on the robe, got up and chased in the direction of Yang Jian and the others.

The second brother is so smart, there shouldn't be any big problems...... Let's do it!

The army just passed through the Qilian Mountain, and directly entered the nomadic area of the dog Rong, perhaps a little frightened by Ji Chang's madness, after the winter, the dog Rong, who was still licking the pain, directly avoided the edge, hid in the depths of the grassland and shivered, not daring to go forward and confront the Zhou army.

This also saved Nangong Shi and Ji Fa a lot of trouble.

Walking here, as long as the people who were a little bit concerned found that the speed of the army was wrong, this was obviously not the route to the depths of the grassland to find the decisive battle of the Dog Rong and other tribes, and the soldiers seemed to have expectations in their hearts, but also a little uneasy.

After bypassing a large circle from the beginning of spring, and after paying a painful supply problem, the Zhou army finally descended on the plug north of Binzhou.

Nangong Shi waved his hand, and the army showed a three-way trend to directly attack the northern foot of Binzhou, and the overwhelming red armor army was like a crab, clamping down on the defenders of the plug.

This is also the first time that Nangong Shi ignored the courtesy of the princes' war, fought without declaring war, attacked the city with a surprise attack, and in accordance with the tactics of Meng Ji's siege of Sanque One, captured the important town of Saikou within five days, coerced the defeated army to cover up all the way, broke the city all the way to contain the land, and went straight to Binzhou City, the capital of Binzhou.

The war came too fast, has been pinched as a soft persimmon, never seen this kind of swift offensive, less than ten days, Binzhou troops under the city.

When Ji Fa personally knocked on the gate of this magnificent strategic place in northern Xinjiang, the new Binzhou Wei directly abandoned the capital, and fled with a group of routed troops in the direction of Jizhou, and the Hexi defensive position guarded by Deng Zhizhong.

Until Deng Zhizhong received the defeat of the Binzhou army and a large number of Zhou warriors in red armor covered and charged behind him, he was still in a state of confusion.

When he came to the front-line position and saw that his soldiers were about to open the gate of the camp to accept the rout, a cool air rushed straight at his Tianling Gai, and he was so frightened that he immediately shouted: "Strictly guard against death, and those who open the city gate without permission will be killed!! ”

This Laipi's tactics are more familiar to him than the people of Zhou State, isn't this their Meng Ji's favorite coercion to cover up? If this was to admit the rout, even if there were no pursuers behind, he would not be able to withstand the roar of this group of routed troops who had already lost their hearts in the middle of the night.

"Order, shout to let the defeated army bypass from both sides, let the students of the military academy who study with the army retreat, and pay attention to support at any time after the reorganization of the defeated army."

They don't have to be too distressed when they die, those seedlings in the military courtyard are the hope for the future of Meng Ji's army.

Looking at the red waves like a torrent in front of him, Deng Zhizhong's face was a little embarrassed.

"General, the enemy army is overwhelming, should we temporarily avoid the edge and join forces with General Zhao Bing, who is stationed in the front of the defense line, and then fight?"

"Avoid? Where to avoid? Nai Weng has avoided countless times in his life, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, I never thought I was wrong in the previous things, but this time, no one wants me to avoid it. ”

"Order the three armies, let the merchants in the military market evacuate, send a letter to Zhao Bing, don't rush to help, slowly surround the enemy, I and all the soldiers will die to defend the position, the battalion is here, the battalion is dead, I am dead!" Meng Jijun swore not to retreat!! ”
