The cold wind was blowing, and the snow particles in the sky fell and fell on their bodies, turning their clothes and armor white, and it took the careful soldiers nearly a quarter of an hour to move little by little to the side of the city wall near Jixiankoku. He looked at it cautiously, then stood up tremblingly, walked with trembling legs, endured the discomfort of freezing stiff because of the long time he had climbed, limped desperately and ran down, dancing his hands and shouting hoarsely as he ran: "The back is also piled up......"

"There's a pile of ...... in the back."

"There's a pile of ...... in the back."

......

Soon, Ji Xianguo and Jiufang Guo, who knew that the back of the city wall was also piled up, immediately changed their strategy, and around the snow slope that had been built, a more dense snowball rain thrown by catapults began to pour down, and eighty percent of them were facing the side of the city wall against Youzhou......

After waves of snowballs were thrown, a large number of soldiers from Jixian Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom began to attack. The king of Zhenbei began to issue orders frequently, and under one order after another, groups of Youzhou soldiers pounced on the section of the city wall where the snow slope was built and killed the soldiers of Jixian Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom. Although there were more soldiers of Jixian Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom who found an opportunity to lean towards the side of the city wall located on this side of Youzhou, due to the large enough construction of the urn city, coupled with the cover of falling snow and the gloomy weather, none of the soldiers of Jixian Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom found that there was a large urn city composed of ice and snow standing quietly around the snow slope road rushing to Youzhou......

In Ji Xianguo's camp, Wen Xinlong looked at the increasingly fierce battle between the snow slope and the above, and sighed: "It's finally over!"

"Young Sect Master, it's not so easy to end!" A voice suddenly came out, and Wen Xinlong turned around, it was Uncle Fang who had been following him.

"Isn't it the end?

"Young Sect Master, there are as many as five such walls, do you say that you can only capture one wall? ”

"Isn't that a little beneficial?"

"How can you call it useless? Young Sect Master, how easy is it to recapture this city wall if it is occupied, and it is also a strategy to occupy the city wall and ask for some compensation, and there are also border people living between these city walls, plus the various materials that Youzhou has hoarded on the border over the years, as well as the minerals on the border have plundering value!" Fang Bo said, but he also knew that it was not the time in history when the five city walls were not conquered, such as the Eastern Crusade of the Demon Dao.

"Minerals? There are minerals between these five walls?"

"Not only the five walls, but also those mountains guarded by the border sects, it is better to say that it is easier to produce mineral deposits in the mountains. ”

"Then, those border guards will also be attacked?"

"Young Sect Master, the place where the Border Guarding Sect is established is often easier to defend and difficult to attack than this city wall, and for thousands of years, the organs and secret passages are impossible to prevent, which is also the reason why our Demon Dao has not attacked the Shangsanpin Sect several times in the past thousand years. ”

"But those border guarding sects have minerals!

"Of course it's not to give up, but as long as the young sect master has a history of more than three hundred years, do you think that is easy to deal with?"

"This?"

"And attacking a border guarding sect is equivalent to attacking all the nearby border guarding sects, and the imperial court must also support. ”

"You can also not support it!"

"Young Sect Master, these sects took the initiative to guard the border, and they also made a compromise with the Yanhua Imperial Court, they gained a lot of autonomy, but they also made such a big sacrifice, this sacrifice Imperial Court must also admit that there are pros and cons to this matter. In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that most of the middle and upper grade and upper three grades are close to the border, and only when they are located at the border and assume responsibility, their autonomy rights will be more acceptable, and it will be easier to attack, retreat and defend. ”

"Can you attack or retreat, but you still haven't answered me why the imperial court must support?" Wen Xinlong asked puzzled, he knew that Uncle Fang was also a Confucian scholar before, although he didn't know why Uncle Fang entered the Demon Dao, but Dad sent Uncle Fang to his side to let him learn more.

"Young Sect Master, don't worry, according to historical records, when the Yanhua Kingdom was first established, the founding king at that time was not very satisfied with the constraints imposed on him by the various major parties, and he also tried in vain to solve the problem with the help of the border battle, but do you know what happened in the end?"

"I really don't know this, but I haven't seen this thing written in the history books of Yanhua Kingdom!?"

"Young Sect Master, most of the history books on the market are not written by historians, they are Confucianism, although Confucianism also relies on writing history books to contain the emperor, but many places will also make compromises to beautify according to the emperor's requirements, what I said you also want to know, in fact, it is the 'Tianfeng Independence Incident' during the founding period of Yanhua Kingdom!"

"Tianfeng is independent? Didn't they take the initiative to commit treason? Were they forced?"

"Of course they were forced, even now the Heavenly Wind Country also thinks that they are a member of Kyushu, but it is not so easy for them to return to Kyushu. Fang Bo paused when he said this, looked at the city wall, and saw that he was still in a state of anxiety, so he continued to Wen Xinlong: "This Tianfeng turned out to be the Shangzhongpin Border Guarding Sect on the border of the sandbar opposite Zezhou, and it also had several subordinate sects of the Middle and Third Grades, and it happened that there was a conflict between the Shazhou side and the Yanhua Kingdom, and the founding monarch of the Yanhua Kingdom thought that this was an opportunity, not only did not support it, but also secretly sent people to plan to come to a river mussel to compete for the fisherman's profit! There is a core disciple of the Zhenguo Sect of the country on the other side of the sandbank who is related to the high-level of the Tianfeng Sect. ”

"Kissed?" Wen Xinlong felt that this matter was somewhat interesting.

There were always some orphans who would be displaced by the border strife, but in the end it brought a chance for peace in the border war. ”

"Didn't work out?"

After that, the border of Shazhou has not been much friction for more than 100 years, thanks to this, but it is a pity that Yanhua was able to accept a vassal country, but in the end it became Tianfeng independence, and then after the death of the founding monarch, it took the initiative to become a vassal state of Yanhua State, and the territory was larger than before independence. ”

"Interesting! This is to attack, retreat, and defend! I won't ask the specifics, I know that it must be a very long story, I know that if you continue to talk about it, Uncle Fang, it will be difficult to stop it!"

"It's still the young sect master who knows the old slave. Uncle Fang said and smiled.

"However, since it can't be taken lightly, then the court of this Yanhua Kingdom didn't think about letting these border guarding sects help attack, seize more territory, give these sects some rewards, or consume these sects in a reasonable attack. ”

"Young Sect Master, don't look at the history there have always been kings who have tried to unify the whole continent, but in fact, Kyushu is a hurdle, once this distance is passed, the strength of the rule will be greatly reduced, and the benefits are not so great, even if there are innate demon beasts to help deliver the news. This is the limitation of distance, and it is also the influence of different geographical locations, customs, etc. And there is no one who is stupid in the sect guarding the border, and it is not so easy to be driven, except for the sect of the Mo family. ”

"Mo family?" Wen Xinlong didn't understand why Uncle Fang would mention the Mo family here.

"Yes, one of the Mohist philosophies is to guard, that is, the great man of chivalry, where the righteousness lies! So with them, the border side is relatively stable. However, thousands of years have passed, although the Mo family is not like some sects riding donkeys to read the record book, but it is also cautious, you look at the losses caused by this smuggling road will definitely cause the contraction of the border guarding sect, and the next battle, in addition to the existing ones, there will be no more disciples of the border guarding sect to join. ”

"I see, Uncle Fang, how long do you think the stalemate on this city wall will last?"

"The old man doesn't know this, but there are still many hole cards on both sides, so the old slave is not easy to guess! But after that, the young sect master will definitely be asked to have some hands. ”

"Let me have some men?"

"Yes, these people from our Flower Picking Sect who are gathered here now will definitely make a move in the future, otherwise the other party will think that we just don't do it, which is not conducive to future cooperation. ”

"Then I'll wait for them to come to me, but at most you can take down this wall?"

"That's it?"

"Young Sect Master, of course it's more than this, the snow hasn't stopped yet, if you can capture this wall faster, then it's possible to take the opportunity to attack one or two more walls. Even if it can't be attacked, and it snows so much, Jixian Country and Shuiyue Country will definitely suffer from disasters, and consuming those refugees and soldiers together is also a way to reduce the pressure. ”

"Stress off?"

"That's right! Jiufang, Jixian, and Shuiyue are all based on grazing, supplemented by planting, and now there must be a lot of cattle and sheep frozen to death under this snow, if the heavy snow collapses the storehouse where the grain is stored, then the grain will also be lost!"

"That's right! There is a shortage of food, just reduce the population! So the three countries will attack this border harder?"

"Not bad, young sect master!"

"Then do we need to rush over?" Wen Xinlong listened to the analysis, and also had a kind of psychology of rushing over to take advantage.

"Young Sect Master, you are here to gather the manpower of our Flower Picking Sect to help them attack the city, but they are the main body of the siege, we just need to show sincerity! After all, our main manpower is not here; ”

"You mean that the king of Zhenbei still has a powerful backhand?"

"Regardless of whether the young sect master has a back hand or not, he generally comes to the battlefield and says that whoever uses the hole cards last will have a chance to win. ”

"Well, do you think I'm going to give this place to someone else and go to the smuggling route?"

"Young Sect Master, this is not good, why are you? Hey, you are a colt! Although Ji Xianguo is helping us like this, we are also helping themselves, but at least on the surface, we still have to show sincerity, and you are the greatest sincerity here!"
