The Dragon City was completely destroyed by Avril, not only the city gates, but even the city walls were destroyed in large sections, although after Rijkaard took over the Dragon City, a lot of repair work has been carried out, but firstly, the repair work is timely, and secondly, Rijkaard does not have so much money and food to hire enough workers for a while, so so far, there are still many city walls that have not been repaired, which has brought great convenience to Sophia's troops to enter the city.

Sophia's men and horses didn't have to face any obstacles if they wanted to enter Dragon City, the people couldn't control it, and Rijkaard's exterminator army didn't react so quickly for a while, so Sophia's troops surrounded the horse mansion very lightly, and the people in the mansion didn't even know about it at all.

In fact, Sophia is just suspicious of Hu Wei, and she is not very sure that the person who is now in the Taiping Empire is Hu Wei. Her actions this time can be said to be a temptation or a vent, and judging from the current situation, those are no longer important.

Sophia has seen Hu Wei when she was young, and she can naturally recognize at a glance that the person in the courtyard is Hu Wei. Not to mention Hu Wei, Sophia's appearance has hardly changed much from twenty years ago, and he has seen Sophia a few times before, and it is not so impossible to recognize it or not.

The torches in the soldiers' hands snapped, Hu Wei and Sophia looked at each other, the man and woman had never been a couple, but there were many things hidden in their eyes at this time.

"Queen, we meet again. Hu Wei took a few steps forward and came to the front of the crowd. Before coming to Ma's house, he really didn't expect to see Sophia here. He came to Ma's house to interrogate Aunt Qi, originally to find out Sophia's whereabouts, if he knew early on that this would be the result, he wouldn't need to do so much.

"Indeed, we meet again. "Sophia's feelings at this time are very complicated. In the past 20 years, her attitude towards Hu Wei has changed several times. At first, someone told her that Hu Wei was a very talented person, but she didn't take Hu Wei to heart. At that time, she was in power. Almost all of the huge mandala empire is decided by her alone, and she will not take it into account if she is worried about it.

There is always a price to pay for underestimating one's opponents. Sophia soon knew that she was underestimating Hu Wei. Hu You's ability to come out was indeed very surprising to her, but she still had no intention of recruiting Hu Wei to her banner. In her opinion, a little cleverness is not enough to succeed, Hu Wei is just a clown, a clown who has some ability but sells around.

Sophia's real heart for Hu Wei was when Hu Wei came to Dragon City for the second time. At that time, Hu Wei had already proven himself in the battle of Huanglongdao. Sophia felt that Hu Wei should be able to bring her something valuable, so she extended an olive branch to Hu Wei. It's a pity that Hu Wei at that time was no longer willing to be a pawn, and after analyzing the shape of the mandala, he judged that Sophia was not a good tree, and he couldn't sit still as an immortal bird, so he didn't accept Sophia's solicitation. Instead, he became Sophia's opponent.

Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and when Sophia recalls the past, Hu Wei is also recalling what she has experienced in those years.

Hu Wei, who first arrived in the Tianfeng Continent, really didn't want anything, how to survive, how to survive in this world, he really didn't have any foundation. Then all kinds of opportunities, all kinds of experiences, and even every enemy he met taught him how to survive in this world and make himself better.

Sophia was Hu Wei's first real enemy. The reason why Hu Wei was able to have so many achievements after that was completely because he defeated Sophia and put a lot of things that should have been Sophia in his pocket. It can be said politely that Hu Wei's success comes from Sophia's failure. If Sophia had been the victor back then, there would have been nothing to worry about.

"I didn't expect to see each other here. A faint smile hung on the corner of Hu Wei's mouth. From Rijkaard to Sophia, from Gattuso to Avril, he always seemed to be close to the people of the Mandala Empire. Whether it's true fate or evil fate, this is really impossible to say. In short, it seems that every time Hu Wei comes into contact with the master of the mandala, those poor masters seem to be unlucky.

Sophia glanced at Hu Wei. "I thought I might meet you here." You really have the ability, the Han and Tang Empires have just fallen, and in a blink of an eye, a Taiping Empire has been created. ”

Until now, Sophia still doesn't believe that Rijkaard is the real founder of the Taiping Empire, and this is more likely than the Hu Wei in front of her.

Hu Wei smiled, but did not explain anything about the issue. From that point of view, he and Sophia are hostile relations, and there is no need to explain the enemy so clearly. Only a fool would tell his opponent about his hole cards. The more the opponent does not understand his own situation, the more he will be able to seize the initiative.

Sophia looked at Hu Wei and didn't answer, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Why, when old friends meet, don't you have anything to say to me." I remember you probably started out with a mouthful. You can speak of the dead as alive and the living as dead. ”

"Even if I say something, will you listen?" asked Hu Wei. He really knows Sophia's temper too well, this woman is more thoughtful than most men in the Heavenly Wind Continent, and if you talk about it, it is nothing to her. Hu Wei is very good at speaking, but his words should be said to those who are willing to listen, like Sophia, who listen in vain, there is no difference between saying it and not saying it.

Qin Ming's and Sophia's subordinates all turned their eyes to Hu Wei and Sophia in the field. At this time, Sophia's soldiers had already completed the encirclement of Hu Wei and his party, and thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at a few of them, even if they had wings on their backs, they couldn't fly out.

Qin Ming and the others had all seen Sophia's soldiers, and any one of them had been in charge of many more soldiers than this. They can guess how much energy these soldiers have combined, but they don't take it to heart, because these people alone are not enough to kill them, if they are so easy to die, they are not already dead, how can they live now.

Sophia suddenly finds herself wasting her time. Is there any point in talking about some of the things that are not there with Hu Wei here? She won't listen to what Hu Wei says, and what she says, Hu Wei won't take it seriously, there is really no difference between saying it and not saying it.

Thinking of this, Sophia quickly realized that Hu Wei was stalling for time. No matter how you say it, it is the territory of the Taiping Empire, and the movement of her brigade is impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of others, will people not take corresponding actions?

Sophia, why are you so stupid. It was like that back then, and it is still like this now. Do you want to lose again!

scolded himself hatefully in his heart. Sophia decided to put an end to this boring conversation. It can almost be said that it was very sudden, and with a wave of her hand, Sophia gave the order to advance. But anyone in this room, she didn't want to see anyone alive.

"Damn, the procrastination plan failed. Hou Sanwei screamed, and he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy, but in short, the expression on his face was more excited.

Qin Ming, Hu Tu, and Renata reacted calmly. They didn't have much hope for Hu's delaying plan. It would be best if Rijkaard's troops could be dragged to arrive, and it would not be a matter for them not to be able to hold on. After so many years of battlefield life, what else have they not experienced. Those who are afraid have long been afraid, and such scenes are really normal for them.

The small Ma family does not occupy a large area, but there are many people who squeeze in. The cold-glowing knife slashed through the air from time to time. Sometimes it brings out a little red, and more often it doesn't hit anything.

"Hou San, how are you?" Hu Wei kicked the enemy in front of Hou San, pulling Hou San behind him. For some of them. What he was most worried about was Hou San. After two serious injuries, Hou San's body was already much worse than before, and the situation in front of him was really too exciting for him.

"I'm fine. Hou San wiped the blood from his face. The blood was not his. The owner of the blood fell a minute ago under Hou San's knife. Hou San didn't know him, and he didn't know Hou San either, but they were fighting to the death here, this is war.

"It's okay, you go to Qin Ming's side and pay attention to protecting yourself. Hu Wei looked at Hou San and didn't seem to have anything wrong, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Hou San almost being stabbed just now, his heart was about to jump out. He didn't want to wait for the third to become the second Chen Dali, there were fewer and fewer old friends around him, and he would be very heartbroken if he lost anyone.

Hou San glanced at Qin Ming's side and nodded in understanding. In the twenty years of war, many people died in battle, but Hou San has survived until now, but it cannot be said that it is all because of good luck, and judging the situation is also a key factor.

His body is clear to himself, and Hou San knows that he no longer has the capital to fight hard, so let's honestly save his life.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and heroes can't stand up to many people. It's good to worry about a few things, but Sophia has a lot of people. One dies and the other goes up again, and if you kill one or two, you can kill a thousand thousands?

As the consumption of the body became more and more, Hu Wei slowly felt a little strained. They are human beings, not machines, they will be tired, and they cannot always be so powerful, with a steady stream of power without rest.

Yes, in the past, whether it was Hu Wei or Qin Ming, they could command operations all day long, just like a machine that would never get tired, and they would always be so energetic.

But that was when they were young. Hu Wei came to the Tianfeng Continent at the age of twenty and fought here for twenty years, even if he didn't count the years in the real world and the days when he returned to the more period, Hu Wei was still forty years old. Qin Ming and Hu Weiguan are not very old, and they are now middle-aged.

When people reach middle age, everything worries, and the first worry is physical weakness. After the age of 30, the body that is no longer young slowly begins to decline. Both the body and the spirit are declining, maybe some are faster, some are slower, but no one can escape this realization.

Hu Wei and Qin Ming can't be called old, but their bodies really can't be compared with when they were young. After a little more than twenty minutes of fierce fighting, they were already sweating one by one, and Sophia's side seemed to have soldiers who would never die, falling one after another. Don't give them a chance to rest.

"Why hasn't Lao Li come yet, if he doesn't come again, I'll really have to die to show him. Hou San gasped. He hadn't experienced such a fierce scene for a long time, and if it weren't for today's fierce fight, he wouldn't have known that his body had lost so much. It looks like he's getting old.

"It should be almost. We retreated to the other side of the house. It's narrower, so you can face fewer enemies at the same time. Hu Wei also felt that his body was a little weak. He is in a better mood than Hou San, but if he continues to fight like this, he will not be able to withstand it.

"Is it that easy to run?" Sophia smiled coldly. At this time, there was no expression on her face, she had suffered so much and suffered so many sins. This was the time she had found them all at once. Didn't Hu Wei say that if you pay hard, you will definitely reap something. She's here to get the harvest now.

The order continued to be given, and it was really even more crazy to pounce on Hu Wei and his party. One fell and the other went up, and this was the soldier's retraction.

Hu Wei and a few people have been forced to the backyard, this is where the Ma family lives, the environment is relatively complicated, suitable for a few people's activities, not conducive to large-scale battles. Here they are more or less relaxed.

"Young marshal, will we die?" Ma Decai didn't believe Hu Wei. But the current situation is really unfavorable for them. After all, this matter really has nothing to do with him, and he shouldn't have died here.

"Don't worry, no one will die. Hu Wei said with great certainty.

By the time Rijkaard arrived, Sophia's men had all evacuated first. This made him jump to his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Rijkaard snorted, "I really didn't expect Sophia to learn so many things in just a few years. I remember when I first saw her, she was just a little girl. ”

Hu Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard Rijkaard's words. If Rijkaard is talking about Sophia or the appearance of a little girl. Then time is not just a few dozen years in the past, but decades.

"What are you laughing at, your life is almost lost. You still have the heart to laugh. Rijkaard was very unhappy with Hu's reaction. They were having a good time, but he didn't catch anything, Baba rushed to save people, and made people see jokes, which he could bear.

"Yes, yes, no laugh, no laugh. Thank you for the life-saving grace of the hero, if you hadn't been in a hurry, I'm afraid that no one would have survived now. ”

"Come on, I know you're talking the other way. You're angry that you're late, aren't you?" Rijkaard also knew that he was not in such a hurry this time. But can he be blamed for this, his soldiers are not strong, what can he do?

"So you know, I thought you didn't. "Hou San doesn't have such a good temper. He had accidentally eaten a knife just now, and now his stomach was full of gas and there was nowhere to come out, and Rijkaard crashed into his gun, which was his bad luck.

"Okay, let's not say a word. Now everyone is fine, which is a good thing for us. Isn't it?" Hu Tu doesn't like to talk much, but when he speaks, he is focused, unlike Hou San who often likes to say useless things.

In Hu Tu's opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing that they suffered a small loss against Sophia this time. The situation is changing, people are changing, and the tactics of the past were effective in the past, but they are not necessarily so effective now.

Just like that, Sophia is much better than they are. From the initial ambush to the retreat when she discovered the arrival of Rijkaard's army, Sophia did a very good job. Not only did he not let himself suffer unnecessary losses, but he also retained his ability to maneuver. If she wanted to, she could move on to the next step of the plan right away, and Hu Wei and the others were just following Sophia to clean up the mess.

Hu Wei glanced at Hu Tu deeply, nodded and said, "Hu Tu is not wrong, it seems that it is time for us to sit down and analyze the current situation." The problems we encounter today are much more complex than before, and we can no longer look at the current situation in the same way we used to look at things. It's a good thing to suffer a small loss, but what I'm afraid of is a big loss. ”

Rijkaard also said: "I agree with Hu Wei's words. Don't say anything now, go back to a safe place and sit down to discuss the issue at hand. ”

Hou San saw that Hu Wei and Rijkaard both said this, and he didn't complain anymore. Things that don't happen have already happened, and talking about those that don't work will only make things more complicated, and it won't help the thing itself.

Zhu Daneng was lucky along the way. So far, at least, he hasn't had any trouble. From Longcheng to Qingzhou, it is not only a road of thousands of miles, but also the people and things encountered along the way. Not to mention anything to plant the grain that Rijkaard hid in Qingzhou and send it back to Dragon City.

Qingzhou, where Zhu Daneng enlisted in the army. At that time, he ran away from home in order to show that he was angry, and when he came to Qingzhou, he was recruited just in time for the Mandala Blizzard Army at that time, so he went to try, and then he changed from a family member to a junior soldier very smoothly.

At that time, Zhu Daneng never thought that the decision to enlist in the army would change his life so much. With his appearance, almost at the moment of birth, he was already destined to take the road he would take for the rest of his life. But his rebellion changed the trajectory of his life.

"Actually, it's because of the young marshal. Zhu Daneng recalled the situation in the army with Hu Wei back then, and couldn't help but become more and more fascinated the more he thought about it. The year I first enlisted. It can be said that he was the happiest time of his life.

At that time, Zhu Daneng was still a small soldier, and Hu Wei's officials were not big, and they had a lot of dreams. But I know that there will not be much that can really be realized, and I will not report so much hope.

It is precisely because the expectations are not high that all they can easily get satisfied, a bowl of wine. A dish, or even a good-looking woman who passes by chance, can bring them a lot of joy.

Zhu Daneng attributed these happiness to Hu Wei. Because there is a constant atmosphere of worry. So their happiness at that time came very easily. And now, when they turn all the things they dreamed of back then into reality, their happiness is slowly decreasing. This change seems to be due to Hu Wei.

Thinking as you go, this road will be less boring. It's actually a very boring thing to hurry, a long road, walking during the day and at night, as if there is always no end to it. If you don't find some pastime for yourself to pass the time, you will go thousands of miles down this way, and I don't know how many people will go crazy.

"Report, the front is already the boundary of Qingzhou. The soldier's report interrupted Zhu Daneng's recollection. Memories are always good, but unfortunately those are already memories that can never be returned.

"Well, order the whole army to enter the first level of combat preparation!" Zhu Daneng ordered. On the way here, he had already inquired about the news that he might need on the road. In fact, without analyzing the news, Zhu Daneng can also know that the situation in Qingzhou is very unstable.

Qingzhou was the first place where war broke out under the rule of the original mandala. When the war started, Zhu Daneng was still in the Blizzard Army in Qingzhou, and he really knew too well about the past.

The chaos in Qingzhou is inseparable from Hu Wei. The reason why the Mandala Empire set up the Northern Storm Legion in Qingzhou is precisely because the environment here is complex, and emergencies including wars may occur at any time. Past facts have also proved that there is indeed a need for garrisons in Qingzhou.

It can be said that the stability of Qingzhou is very large, and it is because of the army stationed here that the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods dare not make things lightly. However, since the Buran Army was transferred westward for more than ten years, Qingzhou has never had a garrison. The Blizzard Legion was organized into the Immortal Bird Legion by the Hu Wei Group in the northwest, and then incorporated into the Han and Tang Dynasties. No matter what name it recalled, it never returned to where it was founded. Since then, Qingzhou has changed from a strategic location to nothing.

Without the suppression of the army, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods jumped out one after another, and Qingzhou was not chaotic, so there was really no heavenly reason.

"General, something doesn't seem right. "It's the first time that Zhu Daneng's herald has gone out on a mission. He was a soldier trained by Rijkaard, and with Rijkaard's level, he wouldn't be too bad. But in Zhu Daneng's eyes, these soldiers are far from good enough, because he once had an absolutely powerful army, and every soldier in the team, Zhu Daneng, knew the preferences of most of the soldiers. Zhu Daneng can say it casually. That's his real soldier.

It's a pity that 20 years of war and many unexpected natural and man-made disasters caused Zhu Daneng to lose his soldiers. After the dissolution of the Han and Tang Empires, he even became a bare-bones general, and above him there was an old boss Hu Wei, and below him, he was not a soldier.

This time, Zhu Daneng brought Rijkaard's soldiers. Rijkaard's soldiers can't be said to be bad, but Zhu Daneng always feels that this is not right, that is not right, in short, it is not happy. When the soldier says something doesn't feel right. Zhu Daneng almost blurted out: I have always felt wrong.

Those nonsense words are naturally not allowed to be said nonsense, and Zhu Daneng has no intention of saying it. After leading soldiers for so many years, Zhu Daneng knows that soldiers also have self-esteem, and hitting their self-esteem too much will make them become unconfident, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and those who are stricter will not even be able to fight.

"Did you find anything?" asked Zhu Daneng with encouragement. In fact, the moment the soldier said something was wrong, he already knew what the soldier meant by the mistake.

The soldier replied, "There are so many woods here, but you can't hear a bird's call." I remember mentioning it in the book of war. This is a red flag. ”

Zhu Daneng smiled and said: "You are right, this is indeed not a good thing. But you don't have to worry, in my opinion, they are in a short period of time. It's not going to do anything to us. ”

The soldier asked, "General, do you mean that we are surrounded by the enemy?"

"It's still impossible to say. They are just watching our every move. Thinking about it, they have already guessed that we came to Qingzhou for a purpose, and we don't have anything for them to grab now, so they naturally won't move so quickly. ”

Zhu Daneng thought of saying one sentence after another. He had roughly guessed the reason for attracting the enemy, and he had already established a preliminary outline in his mind, and naturally knew what he was talking about. And that soldier. He didn't experience as many things as Zhu Daneng, and the situation in front of him was too complicated for him, and he really didn't understand a few words of what Zhu Daneng said.

Seeing that the more the soldiers listened, the more they didn't understand, Zhu Daneng put away his words and said: "To put it bluntly, our purpose is to transport grain, and before we have shipped this batch of grain, those who are secretly staring at us will not act rashly." And when we get the food out and get it, that's the time for them to wait. I believe that if they don't rob us of our food, they won't be so light-hearted. ”

"Then aren't we dangerous?" The soldier understood Zhu Daneng's words, and became nervous.

Zhu Daneng smiled and said: "Danger is everywhere, isn't it a process of life to face danger and solve danger." ”

"Alright, let's get started. ”

In the backyard, Hu Wei, Rijkaard, Qin Ming and others are all doing it. It was Renata who spoke just now, and she was in charge of presiding over today's meeting.

Since last night's fight with Sophia, everyone here is not in such a good mood. Sophia has never been a famous general, or even a general, but last night, these people who ranked number one in the Tianfeng Continent suffered from Sophia.

Sophia came and went as soon as she wanted, although she didn't succeed in killing them, but what Sophia said really made them all feel blush.

Hu Wei glanced around at everyone and said, "I'll talk about it first." Everyone should be aware of what happened last night, but I suggest that before we think about how to deal with Sophia, we should once again analyze the situation at that time. Do you have any comments?"

Hou San glanced at Rijkaard, but didn't say anything. Yesterday he was so angry that he said to Rijkaard very unceremoniously those complaining words. In fact, he also knows that Rijkaard has done his best, and even if he is replaced, he may not be able to do better than Rijkaard.

Qin Ming and Renata sat together, and they listened to Hu Wei's words, and they had no intention of speaking. Renata is only in charge of presiding over the meeting, not organizing the analysis, and she will still speak when she should speak. But that's not now.

Hu Tu cleared his throat and said, "I agree with the young marshal's suggestion, but I think we should analyze it from the back to the front and discuss it one by one, so that we can gain more." ”

"What do you mean by coming from back to front?" asked Renata on behalf of the group. This is what she needs to do as a host, she knows that not only did she not understand Hu Tu's words, but there were also people who couldn't guess what Hu Tu said for a while.

Hu Tu explained: "From the back to the front, it starts from Sophia's retreat, so the whole incident is replayed. As for the strips, I believe everyone should know what I'm talking about. ”

Rijkaard frowned, "That's a good idea. It's just that it takes a lot of time to analyze, do we have that time now?"

Hu Tu said: "Time is squeezed out, if you want to have it, you must have it, if you don't want to have it, then there will be nothing." In my opinion, since you want to do it, then do your best, and if you don't do something, it's a lie to others!"

Hu Wei nodded and said, "I agree with this statement. If no one has any problems, let's do it. ”

Seeing that everyone, including Rijkaard, had no opinion, Hu Wei motioned for Hu Tu to continue.

Hu Tu nodded and said, "First, let's first analyze why Sophia is seeing that our reinforcements are about to arrive. Just leave immediately?"

Why Sophia did not confront Rijkaard head-on, but gave up the attack on Hu Wei and the others and retreated as quickly as possible, this is a question that many people are considering. Because according to the situation at the time. Even if Sophia goes to war with reinforcements, she may not necessarily suffer, but she chooses to go instead of fighting. There should be some kind of saying in this.

"I think she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to defeat our reinforcements, so she left in a hurry. Hou San's words broke the silence in the backyard. He didn't like the way everyone sat there and didn't speak, and if he was right or not, he would make a little noise first.

"I can't beat it. Hu Tu took a pen and recorded the content of Hou San's speech on a piece of paper and asked, "Who else has other opinions?" ”

"I agree with Hou San's judgment, but I would like to add that this is our territory, and it is normal that Sophia can't beat us, because our reinforcements can continue to send ......."

Hu Wei couldn't help but interrupt Rijkaard's words and said, "Lao Li, what do you want to say, can you be more focused." "Now Rijkaard doesn't know who to learn from, he talks around and doesn't have a center, and it makes people feel tired to listen to him.

Rijkaard glared at Hu Wei and said, "Didn't I just get to the point, you interrupted me." I mean, Sophia isn't necessarily afraid of our reinforcements, but she's afraid of more and more men behind us, which will be very bad for her. ”

"Well, that's one aspect too. Hu Tu wrote down one more piece of paper on the paper. Although there is not much difference between what Rijkaard said and Hou San, Hou San said a batch of reinforcements, while Rijkaard said several batches of reinforcements, and there is still a difference.

Qin Ming frowned and said, "I think Sophia didn't intend to kill us from the beginning. ”

"Isn't it, isn't this even wanting our lives?" Hou San exaggeratedly pointed to his injuries and said, "If she doesn't want our lives, then how did my injuries come about." If I hadn't flashed fast, it wouldn't have been more than that. ”

Qin Ming glanced at Hou San and asked, "Do you remember the environment at that time?" ”

"Hmm. Hou San didn't understand what Qin Ming wanted to say, so he could only reply. He's an intelligence worker, and his observation is okay, and he still remembers the environment quite clearly.

Qin Ming continued: "We found out that Sophia's troops were because of torches, and I think everyone still remembers this. And the room behind us is all wooden, and I don't think you will remember it either......"

Renata excitedly said, "I see what you mean. You're saying that Sophia could have set fire to the first place if she wanted our lives. It's really hard for us to resist that way!"

Hu Wei frowned and said, "Although the environment at that time was indeed like this, it was not enough to explain any problems, is there anything else?" For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
