Chapter 2o4 Streamside Night Thoughts

Just after noon, when the sunlight of Langtian was slightly less poisonous, the north gate of Langtian City used five or six carriages without any signs. Where is the fastest update of the novel? Please look for the biquge.info carriage of Aishang Novel Network on the main road, and I went all the way north, in a hurry, as if there was something important.

The convoy hurried all the way until it was dark, and then stopped by a stream. On one of the carriages, four beautiful girls descended first, followed by a young boy. Childe's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he seemed to have a lot on his mind.

At this time, Zhu Daneng, who had already jumped from another carriage, strode in front of the young man and asked, "Young master, the mountain road in Tianhou is not easy to walk, are we camping here?"

The young boy is the newly crowned King of the Waves, the master of the Immortal Bird Legion, and the young marshal is worried. He looked around at the terrain here, nodded and said, "Okay, you can take someone to arrange it." Rest at this time tonight, and continue on your way early tomorrow morning. ”

Zhu Daneng took the order and left.

Na Yue saw that the stream here was very clear, took a wooden bucket from the car, shook it lightly, went to the stream to get half a bucket of stream water, returned to Hu Wei's side and said: "Young master, you are tired all the way, wash your face, cool and cool." ”

"Hmm" Hu Wei, who was frowning and thinking about things, took the wet towel handed by Na Yue, put it on his face, and suddenly felt a coolness, and the fatigue of the rush was eliminated a lot.

After having dinner cooked by Fuchen, Hu Wei summoned Ximen Xue, Xuanri, Hou San, and Zhu Daneng to the campfire and continued to discuss the military situation.

In fact, Hu Wei and his party hurried to the place where they were going was Baoning City. Baoning City is the gateway to the north of Yanzhou, and after Qingzhou was ceded out, Baoning City became the last town in Qingzhou in the north.

This morning, Hu Wei suddenly received a letter asking for help from Du Changwei, the lord of Baoning City, saying that the allied forces of Anrong, Chihe, and Lingui in the Qingzhou region have been moving frequently recently, and it is likely to be unfavorable to Baoning City in the near future.

Baoning City is the northernmost town in Yanzhou, once it is occupied by the Three Kingdoms Alliance, then the soldiers of Qingzhou will be able to enter Yanzhou in a steady stream, the so-called lips and teeth are cold, Baoning City is lost, and Langtian City, the largest city in Yanzhou, will not have a good life. Besides, the Immortal Bird Legion also has the name of governing Yanzhou, so Hu Wei has to take care of this matter. Even if the imperial capital didn't ask about this matter, Hu Wei's Immortal Bird Legion couldn't watch the Three Kingdoms Alliance enter the land of Yanzhou. Because Hu Wei has already regarded Yanzhou as his back garden, on the edge of the couch, how can he allow others to snore.

"What is Sima Shou, the guard of Le Tong City, doing, how can he let the people of the Three Kingdoms Alliance cross Le Tong City. At the meeting, Zhu Daneng first had questions. Due to the urgency of the military situation, after receiving the news of the danger in Baoning City, Hu Wei immediately ordered preparations and immediately set out on the road. There was no rush to convene a military conference to discuss this issue.

Hu Wei frowned and said: "If the situation reported by Du Changwei is really true, then Sima Shou is likely to have taken refuge in the Three Kingdoms Alliance." ”

Xuan Ri was taken aback and said, "What does the young marshal mean that Le Tongcheng is now in the hands of the Three Kingdoms Alliance?" For Xuan Ri from the Ningnan Empire, this was a very incredible thing.

Because the Ningnan Empire was very wealthy and the military strength was not very strong, the Ningnan Empire was not invaded by other countries in history. However, the people of Ningnan have never betrayed whether they are facing Osmar, the immortal general of the Bauhinia Dynasty, or Rijkaard, who is in the sky, and every city is broken, it must be accompanied by the news that the city defenders have died in battle.

This is also the reason why Ningnan Dili ranks at the end of the eight empires, but has never lost an inch of land. The people of the Ningnan Empire are weak, but they must not be humiliated. In order to defend their homeland, even if it is only a twelve- or three-year-old doll, people can pick up their own steel knives. Because the people of the Ningnan Empire have love for the empire.

Here, a little mention of the military history of the Ningnan Empire. The Ningnan Empire also split from the Bauhinia Dynasty. Due to the declining national strength of the Bauhinia Dynasty, the control power of the areas far away from the Central Plains was becoming less and less, so the peripheral areas took the opportunity to become independent, and the same was true of the Nanning Empire.

The predecessor of the Ningnan Empire, it was actually a commercial alliance. It's a country founded by merchants, so commerce is very good. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the population of the Ningnan Empire was only a few million people, much smaller than the population controlled by Rijkaard, who had not yet established a state. Therefore, although the Ningnan Empire was commercially advanced, its military strength was very poor. Whenever there is a war, the whole country has to raise troops to fight, and child soldiers who have not yet grown up in their teens abound. It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of the Ningnan Empire often give people the impression that they are very weak.

This situation was alleviated after Ouyang Putin, the father of Ouyang Hanbing, came to power, due to the slightly better external environment. Ouyang Putin deeply knew that a small population was the pain of the Ningnan Empire, and a lack of population led to a lack of military strength, so after he came to power, he vigorously encouraged the people to have more children internally, and launched a series of policies to reward families with many children. Make the population unfold very fast.

Externally, he uses diplomatic means, as far as possible not to have conflicts with any neighboring countries, sometimes knowing that he is justified, even if he suffers a little Ouyang Putin, he endures it, just hoping to get a relatively peaceful time, so that the new forces of the empire can grow up.

Ouyang Putin's approach has been under great pressure in the country, and some people call him the most spineless emperor in the history of the Nanning Empire, but he has silently endured this qiē and swallowed all the grievances into his stomach. Write down all the people who have bullied the Ningnan Empire, and he knows that one day, he will definitely be able to raise his eyebrows.

Ouyang Putin's approach, even the smartest person who was called Tianfeng Da 6 at that time, Rijkaard, did not appear. He saw that Ouyang Putin was a bully, so he simply took him as the wronged leader, and if he had nothing to do, he tried every means to knock people off. At the craziest time, Ouyang Putin's throne was moved away by Rijkaard.

These things are not recorded in the history books of the Mandala Empire, and no one has talked about them with Hu Wei, so Hu Wei has not known these histories until now, let alone that the Ningnan Empire and the Mandala Empire also have enmity.

All in all, when Rijkaard was in power, he relied on the strong military power in his hands, and he caught whoever was bullying whom, and the country that he had not been bullied by the wind was really rare. That's mainly because those countries are so weak and poor that they can't even wear underwear, and there are no good things for him to grab, so he let them go.

Hu Wei nodded heavily: "Only in this way can we explain the origin of the danger of Baoning City." ”

When Valencia ceded Qingzhou to Anrong, Guilin, and Chihe, because half of Letong City belonged to the territory of Yanzhou, Letong City was not completely ceded to the Three Kingdoms, but was divided into two and each kept half.

Letongcheng is the only passage for Qingzhou to enter Yanzhou, the southern half of Tonglecheng guarded by Sima Shou, the geographical location is very important, as long as the southern half of the city is not lost, then the Three Kingdoms alliance army and Ben can not enter the land of Yanzhou.

Now I haven't heard of the war in Letong City, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army has appeared near Baoning City, which means that Sima Shou has basically taken refuge in the side of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, opened Le Tong City, and let the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army drive straight into the territory of Yanzhou.

Hu Wei's analysis made the four of Xuanri unable to refute it. They are all people who are familiar with military intelligence, and they know that what Hu Wei said is likely to be the truth. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel powerless for a while, could it be said that Yanzhou would be ceded or occupied after Qingzhou?

"Slap" Hou San slapped the stone next to him fiercely, and scolded: "Sima Shou, that old thing, is really spineless." actually took refuge in the enemy country, he was judging the country. Young marshal, we might as well do our best to get up the Immortal Bird Legion and drive out the Three Kingdoms Alliance, that great Tongle City, Sima Shou doesn't want it, we want the Immortal Bird Legion. ”

Don't look at Hou San who looks like a monkey, there are not a few taels of meat on his body, and when he shouts this, he does have a little backbone.

"You know a fart" Zhu Daneng's heart became angry, and he turned his head and scolded Hou San: "Do you think that fighting a war is like eating, just fight." If that really happens, then we won't be going to Baoning City now, but thousands of troops and horses. ”

Zhu Daneng's shouting made Hou San lose his temper suddenly. This Langtian City is in the middle of Yanzhou, and there are several towns separated from the northernmost Baoning City. These towns are now under the control of the major families. At present, the battle in Baoning City has not started, and it is not so easy for the Immortal Bird Legion to drive to Baoning City.

Now who doesn't guard against Hu Wei after taking the waves, and then expand to the periphery. How could those families open the city and let the Legion of the Immortal Birds pass guò. Aren't they afraid that Hu Wei will directly eat their city with a backhand?

The model of Baohuai City is still there, and they all have eyes to see. When the Immortal Bird Legion marched into Langtian, if it weren't for Valencia's order and Hu Wei to play the banner of recovering Langtian, then the local garrisons along the way would definitely carry the Immortal Bird Legion, and if it wasn't good, the Immortal Bird Legion hadn't reached Langtian City until now.

This is also the reason why when the situation was so urgent, Hu Wei only took Zhu Daneng and Hou San and a dozen other people to Baoning City. Soldiers, national affairs, affect the whole body, and you can't move lightly.

Hu Wei waved his hand and stopped Zhu Daneng's words. This guy has a fiery temper, and if he continues to scold, I don't know what he will scold. Now everyone's mood is not very good, it's better to be quiet.

After some discussion with everyone about the itinerary, Hu Wei finally concluded: "Now the situation in Baoning City is unknown, and we know very little about the movements of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. ”

After letting Zhu Daneng and the others disperse, Hu Wei sat alone by the stream, looking at the reflection of the moon in the water, and repeatedly calculated in his heart. He's trying to put together some things that he thinks are unreasonable.

The first unreasonable is that Valencia ceded Qingzhou too hastily. Yes, in recent years, the Mandala Empire has encountered a lot of troubles, with continuous natural disasters, wars outside, and civil unrest inside. Due to the 38 years of singing and dancing, the military strength of the empire is also much worse than before. Officers at all levels had no real combat experience, and soldiers were afraid of war.

But even so, the Mandala Empire did not reach the point of ceding land and suing for peace. Although the empire lost nearly 300,000 troops in the First Battle of Anrong, the five major army corps were still established, and the local garrisons in various towns were basically not lost. The empire is fully capable of mobilizing more than one million troops in a short period of time to fight a decisive battle with the alliance of the three kingdoms.

But Valencia didn't do that, he was like cutting meat, and he sent Qingzhou out very lightly, like he was afraid that others wouldn't want it.

Then there is why Valencia wants to suppress the five major legions, even if the Blizzard Legion has suffered a lot of losses and lost its Qingzhou station, but after all, the Blizzard Legion has been beaten by several wars, and it already has combat strength, and new recruits are also being replenished. Valencia gave an order to put the Blizzard Legion in Dongwang City, where no birds, and cut off all the supplies, obviously not wanting to ask for the Blizzard Legion anymore. This self-destruction of the city wall is simply unimaginable for a country that has just experienced war.

If Valencia abandoned the Blizzard Legion because it was disappointed in the Blizzard Legion, then what about Simon Yufeng's Red Fen Legion. Although Ximen Yufeng was in the battle of Anrong, he also suffered defeat. But that is not entirely Ximen Yufeng's fault, and the technical combat level of the Red Fen Legion is also recognized as the most powerful among the five major legions. However, Valencia forced Ximen Yufeng to cut 100,000 troops by himself. The fact that the Red Fen Legion is now only half of its previous strength is even more incredible.

Next, it's time for a trip to the imperial capital. With the Immortal Bird Legion now holding 300,000 troops, sitting on the strength of the three cities of Langtian City, Dongwang City, and Baohuai City, with a population of nearly three million, Hu Wei thought that Valencia should at least have a long talk with him, not to mention that he was respectful of him.

But Valencia only met with him in a hurry, and without saying a few words, he drove Hu Wei out, as if he was afraid of meeting Hu Wei, and why was this.

Hu Wei rubbed his temples that were a little swollen because of overuse of his brain, and then turned his thoughts to Princess Sophia. Hu Wei is ninety percent sure that the assassination of the eldest prince and the third prince was done by this god queen concubine born in the Qinglou.

But why was Sophia so anxious to kill Gattuso and Casilla? Did she think that by killing these two men, she would be able to put her son Asime on the throne? Valencia was not dead yet

Wait a minute

Hu Wei's mind suddenly flashed, what if it was assumed that Valencia's existence could not stop Sophia's plan? What if it was more daring, what if Valencia was dead, or had been completely controlled by Sophia? Or maybe Sophia simply wanted to destroy the Mandala Empire?

Thinking of this, the sweat on Hu Wei's back came down.

If it is the last hypothesis, then all the things that can't be figured out and unreasonable before have answers. Princess Sophia has already accused Valencia, and her purpose is to destroy the Mandala Empire In order to achieve this goal, Sophia ** the forces of other countries, or she herself is the forces of other countries, and she is a chess piece carefully arranged to Valencia's side, and the act of ceding Qingzhou was not done by Valencia, but promoted by Sophia

Hu Wei suddenly appeared, and only this explanation can explain all the unreasonable events before. The Red Turban Army of Langtian before was also likely to be part of their gang. As for the announcement and the act of calling for the people to recover Langtian City, it was either infighting between them because of interests, or Sophia suddenly appeared and controlled the Mandala Empire, which was more beneficial to her than destroying the Mandala Empire

Sophia's assassination on the way back to the Water Palace was the revenge of the collaborators for her calling for the people to recover Langtian, causing Langtian City to fall into the hands of the Immortal Bird Legion.

Faintly, Hu Wei's mind flashed the long white dress, purple belt, and embroidered shoes. Chu Zhu, this woman, is likely to be one of the key points, what role does she play in it?

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Hu Wei and his party set out of camp and continued on the road.

Xuan Ri looked at Hu Wei and asked, "Young Master, you seem to be in a good mood today." ”

Because Hu Wei decided to keep this trip secret and hide it for the first time, Hu Wei asked everyone to change their names to call him young master, and Zhu Daneng became Zhu's housekeeper again, and Jebe was a scholar's maid so that he didn't need to change it, or be their maid. Hou San's life is more bitter and he becomes a coachman. The four shadows of the night don't need to be changed, no one can see them anyway. Huang Jinfeng and Ximen Xue, Hu Wei used some bad intentions to let them play the role of young grandmother, which is the corner of his wife.

Huang Jinfeng was very opposed to this at first, she was not against pretending to be Hu Wei's wife, but against Hu Wei letting Ximen Xue also play his wife. Hu Wei was so good at talking that he reluctantly made Huang Jinfeng nod.

Fuchen also nodded in agreement and said, "That's it, I'm here too, and the young master has drunk an extra bowl of porridge today." ”

Hu Wei secretly grabbed Huang Jinfeng's hand, and smiled, but he didn't answer. Can he be unhappy, although he is just pretending, but he successfully let Huang Jinfeng experience a audition of two daughters and one husband, so that she can adapt to the situation of polygamy, and it will be much easier to accept this vinegar altar in the future.

Huang Jinfeng secretly pinched Hu Wei and wanted to withdraw his hand, but was grabbed by Hu Wei grinning, and he couldn't get out, so Huang Jinfeng followed him, but her face turned out of the window to show that she was very angry.

I don't care if I don't care about it. Then he stretched out his other hand to Simon Snow. Ximen Xue's whole body was shocked, but she didn't resist, and let Hu Wei hold her hand in her big hand.

The beauty in Hu Wei's heart, does this count as a dragon and two phoenixes?
