A year later.

The soldiers are fast, the king of Dongyang gathers the soldiers and horses of the king of the town and water, merges one place, the momentum is like a bamboo, and the soldiers conquer Yingnan County in just one year, and the soldiers point directly to Pingshan County and Zhaoming County, and peep into Xitai County.

After the king of Dongyang raised an army to defeat the puppet emperor, the puppet emperor's court was forced to transfer troops to the south, unable to suppress it, and the four counties in the north, which had signs of stability, became a pot of porridge.

If the king of Dongyang successfully took the three counties of Pingshan, Xitai and Zhaoming, he would be able to encircle the three counties of the imperial capital.

The puppet emperor's court has no way to retreat, and it can basically be declared destroyed.

Pingshan County, Jiangzhou, and Ning County.

A large part of the victims who fled south from the north stayed in Jiangzhou, but they did not expect that just after the last period of peace, Jiangzhou would also be affected by the military disaster, and they would have to flee to the north.

Not only the victims, but also most of the locals in Jiangzhou have chosen to leave their homes.

Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.

For ordinary people, in addition to escaping, how can they survive when natural and man-made disasters come?

A long dragon winds along the avenue.

Qin Sang was holding a straw stalk in his mouth, sitting on a stone by the roadside, with broken straw sandals under his feet, wearing a coarse cloth coat full of patches, his face and hands were black, his eyes were dull, and his hair hadn't been washed for a long time.

The water monkey Zhou Ning and another person leaned against the stone, dressed almost like Qin Sang, and lived like three refugees with the same disease.

This person's name is Zheng Kun, who has been studying martial arts with Bai Jianglan for many years, and he is also one of the people Qin Sang saw on the boat back then, and now he has joined the Blood Clothes Building like a water monkey and has become Qin Sang's subordinate.

This year, Qin Sang adhered to his principles and did not make much contributions, but he couldn't stand up to his accurate intelligence, and several key intelligence helped the army break through, and his name was also registered with the prince.

In addition, there is a county lord on it, and he has climbed to a high position in the Bloody Clothes Building in just one year, and now he is one of the deputy hall masters of the military altar, and the position of the hall master has been undecided, which is reserved for Qin Sang.

Qin Sang looked up at the sun, silently calculating the hour, his seemingly dull gaze was actually always paying attention to the city gate of Hening County.

This road has been connected to Duling County in the south, and groups of refugees on the road are not only from Hening County, but also from Duling County to escape from the road.

The army of the king of Dongyang is divided into two roads, and the army of the west road is led by the king of Dongyang himself, and the main force of the king of Zhenshui and the soldiers and horses recruited in Yingnan County have won a lot of results in Zhaoyang County.

However, the army of the East Road was stopped under the city of Duling County, and had been confronted by the defenders of the puppet emperor for two months, and they were not allowed to advance an inch.

Duling County has a dangerous terrain and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and is known as the throat of Pingshan County and Jiangzhou.

As the largest and richest state among the three states of Pingshan County, once Jiangzhou changes hands, it means that Pingshan County is not far from falling.

The puppet emperor went crazy and mobilized troops and horses, and the troops of the entire Pingshan County were pressed to Duling County, and the army attacked dozens of times, all of which were in vain, with countless casualties, so he thought of a strategy to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang.

The military tent under the city is not reduced, the momentum of the siege is not stopped, and in the middle of the night, it quietly withdraws away from the two partial divisions, scatters into the mountains and forests, sneaks from the mountain paths, intersperses into the hinterland of Jiangzhou, and raids Hening County, and looks at Jiangzhou City.

Hening County is in the hinterland of Jiangzhou, and now the entire Jiangzhou army is gathered in Duling County, which leads to the emptiness of Duling County, once Hening County is broken, the defenders in Duling County will be in a dilemma.

There are many mountains and forests in the south of Jiangzhou, and the route has long been explored by the Bloody Clothes Building, and there is a great possibility that the surprise attack strategy will succeed.

The strength of the two partial divisions is already very considerable, if the army of Duling County insists on not returning to help, and simply continues to replenish the troops, defend Hening County, and loot supplies, it can also make them uncomfortable.

Qin Sang took Zhou Ning and Zheng Kun to blend into the ranks of the displaced people, and his task was to rush to Hening County as quickly as possible, control the situation in Hening County, and strive to unite with the outside when the two strange soldiers arrived, open the gate of Hening County, and take Hening County in one fell swoop, so as to avoid chaos.

Hening County is obviously also on guard, the people in front of the city gate are strong, the government is like a great enemy, the sword does not leave the hand, once the unknown homeless people approach, they will be shouted and driven away, let alone enter the city.

"It's almost time, why hasn't that kid Liu Ji come yet?"

Qin Sang heard the water monkey complaining, and looked down, the water monkey was thin and small, and he also had a broken arm, coupled with this dress, it was so miserable that it couldn't be more miserable, more like a homeless than a homeless.

Since the broken arm, the water monkey has a much more stable temperament, so Qin Sang agreed to accept him to work under his command, but after all, his nature is difficult to change, and he still likes to talk a few words when he has nothing to do.

The water monkey knew the measure, and Qin Sang didn't reprimand him, so he said: "Wait another hour, Lao Zheng, you go and keep an eye on those rich farmers who give porridge, and you must enter the city before dark." ”

Liu Ji is a person from the Bloody Clothes Building, his ancestors are from Hening County, and when he went out to do business, he was separated from the Liu family's own sect, and after joining the Bloody Clothes Building, he arranged for him to go back to Hening County to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and took some people to lurk in Hening County.

After Qin Sang arrived in Hening County this morning, he immediately released a secret signal to ask Liu Ji to take them into the city, and the latest time agreed was in the future.

"Okay!"

Zheng Kun grinned, rolled on the ground and got up, bent his waist, limped into the line of homeless people, and waited in line for the soup kitchen.

Qin Sang felt that sitting on the stone was a little conspicuous, so he jumped down and sat on the ground, letting the water monkey keep an eye on the city gate, while he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Mixed into the ranks of the homeless people, rushing day and night, seriously delaying cultivation.

Qin Sang knew which was more important, and although the affairs were complicated after joining the Blood Cloak Building, he had never stopped practicing and had hardly slept for a whole year.

This year, Qin Sang has been wandering around the battlefield, hiding in the outermost, letting Yama collect the souls of the undead.

However, Qin Sang didn't know the depth of the Jade Buddha, so he didn't dare to let the king of Hades go, and every time he received a certain number of souls, he would take it back.

With a steady supply of soul pills, Qin Sang has made rapid progress, and now he has reached the peak of the second layer, and it won't take long to break through to the third layer of the Nether Sutra.

As for "Ming Wang Gong", Qin Sang tried several times, but failed to refine the true qi, which confirmed Qin Sang's guess that the 'qi' produced by the "Netherworld Sutra" is not the same thing as the true qi and internal force.

Since the cultivation of internal strength wanted to encroach on the time of the Netherworld Sutra, Qin Sang could only give up.

"Soul Snatcher Gun" and "Shadowless Step" are tempered from time to time, and now his attainments are not low, plus he has also selected a few martial arts himself, and he can be regarded as a first-class master without Yan Luowan.

At this time, Qin Sang suddenly heard a sound of heavy footsteps approaching him, and opened his eyes vigilantly to see a person who was also disguised as a homeless person.

When the man walked to his side, Qin Sang frowned and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Wenkui, didn't you follow General Wang closely, why did you leave without permission?"
