The wind and rain are shaking, and the raindrops are as thin as cow's hair.

Dense raindrops fell with the wind, making the entire valley, whether it was rising on both sides, the mountains that stretched for more than ten miles, or inside and outside the valley, all over the mud and damp.

The muddy water is like a stream, constantly gurgling from the mountain, and the originally steep mountain road is even more difficult to walk because of the mud.

The garrison of the Nine Shadows Kingdom here took local materials from the mountains, found some sturdy trees, cut them down and quickly made them into wooden planks, spread them out on top of a part of the trenches, and made them horizontally above their heads to keep out the rain.

The five senses and six senses are different from ordinary people, as well as the ghosts with night eyes that can see secretly, scattered all over the mountains, serving as the main force of the sentry post of the Nine Shadows Country at night.

With their presence, most of the garrisons in the mountains can sleep peacefully and rest in the caves and fortifications carved out of the cliffs, by the lit bonfires.

There is no quiet in a rainy night. Under the cold wind and ice rain of this night rain, the mountains and fields are full of slaughter and tension.

Moreover, even the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, were ready to go into battle as soon as they woke up.

Inside and outside the valley, a tense atmosphere and the heavy smell of gunpowder were enveloped within a radius of several dozen miles.

The Nine Shadows Army on the mountain, I don't know if the enemy army under the mountain will rush up? When will they kill it?

The same is true of the enemy army under the mountain.

Both sides are tense until the war is completely over.

In the mountains, the temporary command post of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The generals of the various divisions came out of the middle of the night in the second half of the night, and then strode away in all directions, returning to their posts, and soon they disappeared into the wind and rain of the night.

Chunhan's strategic council has also been opened, and there is a general direction for how to deal with the enemy next.

In the command room in the command post, after the other generals left, only Chunhan and her lieutenant were left.

Chunhan, who finally sat down, also signaled his lieutenant to sit down, and then took the lead in speaking, saying: "Yuyan, I see that the intelligence says that our opponent this time is a general named Xuanmu. You've been with my mother for years, do you know anything about it?"

Her lieutenant picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and thought about it in thought.

didn't urge her to spring cold, and also picked up his teacup and drank tea.

The hot tea entered her throat, bringing a warm current that flowed through the spring cold and dispelled the chill on her body under her armor.

The lieutenant sitting next to her was still pondering.

This ghost used to be by Chunhan's mother Chunyun's side, and he has been a personal guard for many years, and he has heard a lot about famous generals from all over the world. But she listened too much, and she didn't want to think about it, and she couldn't give Chunhan an accurate answer.

And Chun Han asked, just to better understand his opponent.

After thinking about it for a long time, the deputy general named Yuyan slowly spoke, and said thoughtfully: "I don't know too much about this ghost, it is said that this ghost is the general of the Lao Republic of Dongyingzhou, and the Lao Republic of Dongyingzhou is just a small country, and before that, it was the place where the Beiyin Dynasty placed ghost slaves and sign ghost slaves, and it has never had complete sovereignty, and has been secretly controlled by the Beiyin Dynasty for many years. Therefore, there have not been many ghosts in the country, and Xuanmu is excellent in this country. However, if he compares with the ghost talents of other ghost countries in the whole territory, he is slightly inferior to most of the ghost talents in other ghost countries in terms of wisdom and battlefield experience. And he has always been conservative and never radical. That's all I know. ”。

After listening to her, Chunhan thought back to the battle during the day.

Indeed, this Xuanmu is a little conservative, so that the attack is menacing, but the accumulation is insufficient, a typical way of preserving strength. However, this kind of conservatism is not necessarily a bad thing on the battlefield.

Just like now, Xuanmu's encirclement and confrontation made Chun Han unable to withdraw.

She also wanted to transfer the air cavalry to give the main force of the coalition army heading towards Dushuo Mountain a night raid and bombardment.

Well, now that she didn't know when the mountain would attack, and the spring cold with few troops, she categorically didn't dare to draw troops to fight guerrillas.

The only thing that made Chunhan a little happier was the soldiers and horses commanded by Xuanmu, also from the coalition forces.

As long as she can hold back this coalition army, it will be equivalent to weakening the strength of the coalition army attacking Dushuo Mountain.

"However, the more conservative the ghost, the easier it is to play steadily. Deputy General Yu Yan looked around, and after seeing that there were no outsiders and ghosts, he said to Chun Han: "Miss, this Xuanmu can also guard our way down the mountain and the opportunity to prevent death." ”。

"yes, that's what I thought about too. After a sigh, Chun Han's eyes became full of confidence, and she had already thought of the way and direction to deal with Xuanmu: "But the best way to deal with such an opponent is to beat him to the point of fear, and if he is really afraid, he will be timid." ”。

In a word, it accurately points to the shortcomings of Xuanmu......

Outside the city of Yuque, on the cloud cliff in the hunting ground.

Xiao Shizhu asked his subordinates to bring a felt cloth screen and surround the open space on the top of the cliff.

And he spread ivory mats on the ground, and set up a table.

He was on this cloud cliff and met with the heroes who came from the dust.

Midnight is early, the moon has slanted to the west, the wind is blowing on the cloud cliff, and the pine waves are gusting.

The mountain breeze blew over the top of the cliff and was blocked by the felt screen.

Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother sat side by side on the ivory mat between the screens, and by the still bright moonlight, they looked at the opposite side, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Yingzhao, who came from Yuque City in a hurry, ran for more than ten miles without stopping, and his throat was a little smoking, and it was not until he drank a few sips of tea that his smoking throat eased up.

"Did you just return from the front-line inspection?" When Ying Zhao put down the teacup and smashed it, Xiao Shizhu, who had never urged Ying Zhao, slowly asked.

He saw the Ying Zhao on the opposite side, and he was still wearing battle armor, so he asked.

"yes. Ying Zhao smiled and nodded: "I just didn't think about it, and I was known by the eldest brother before I entered the city." ”。

"When the defenders see your waist card, they know who you are, and they just report according to the rules and regulations, and they are just doing a routine job. Xiao Shizhu smiled disapprerovingly and asked, "Who is taking care of Shuoyue Island for you now?"

"It's Ji Kang, this little ghost is doing a good job. Ying Zhao grinned and praised: "The ability is also good, I managed Shuoyue Island in an orderly manner, and the recovery after the previous war, thanks to his help, I was able to dispatch the military and civilians in all cities and towns on the island in a proper manner, so that Shuoyue Island could recover as soon as possible." Nowadays, the island's agriculture and commerce are also under his control, and the major ports and cultivated land in various places have resumed commercial exchanges and production, and they are as prosperous and lively as before. ”。

Xiao Shizhu already knew what he said, but he still pretended to hear it for the first time, and after pondering for a while, he said leisurely: "In this way, the Beiyin Dynasty made a stinky move and gave up a talent in vain." ”。

From this point of view, Poria thought that keeping Ji Kang could also be useful, and she was not mistaken. The ghost mother said casually and accosted her.

"My daughter. I never thought that when Xiao Shizhu heard this, his face was immediately full of pride and pride, and he said triumphantly: "You must have a vision, this can still be wrong." ”。

After that, he laughed a few times with his head held high, and the laughter was also full of pride and pride.

But after a while, Xiao Shizhu put away his laughter and got back to business: "By the way, Yingzhao, how is the front-line construction going now?"

The thing he asked was also the thing that Ying Zhao came here to report to him.

Yingzhao traveled thousands of miles, and the dust and dust came to this matter.

"Everything is working and it's going according to plan. Several sub-bureaus of the Ordnance Supervision have also secretly gone to the front line and entered the frontline islands to be stationed and build an arsenal workshop. Yingzhao, who was kneeling, straightened his waist and replied: "The soldiers stationed in the station, according to your orders of the eldest brother, one bright and one dark, the water and the water at the same time transport troops to the front line." I observed that the enemy on the shore still only discovered our troop transport at sea, and did not pay attention to the troop transport under the sea, which was undoubtedly beneficial to us. Moreover, the Shark and Boat Ghost Clan, which has organized 100,000 underwater elite soldiers, have also entered the underwater reef in the southern coastal area of Liutianzhou. Our army has completed the complete blockade of the entire Liutian Continent and the south. ”。

Xiao Shizhu, who was listening quietly, was satisfied when he heard this.

This is exactly the strategic significance of what he wants, to curb the path of the Beiyin Dynasty to the south, and to change the advantage of the Beiyin Dynasty's naval division army in the past, which can directly lead to the hinterland of his Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Once the Northern Yin Dynasty fights against the Nine Shadows Kingdom again, it will definitely only be able to fight at sea.

And the Iron Dragon Ship and Xuanwu Ship of the Nine Shadows Country, the Iron Armored Sea Falcon and the Wave Boat, have now begun to be mass-produced like dumplings, and more than a dozen warships of all kinds can be produced in a year. If there is another war between the two countries, Xiao Shizhu is confident that he will wipe out the Beiyin Water Division of the Northern Yin Dynasty in one fell swoop, and completely wipe out the sea power of the Northern Yin Dynasty!

After more than ten years of forbearance, I finally saw the results.

Whether it is Xiao Shizhu or the ghost mother, they all know that from today onwards, the days when the Beiyin Dynasty will drift with the wind, and a large number of naval warships will go all the way south, easily approaching the border and hinterland of the Nine Shadows Country, and they will never return.

The couple was only smiling on the surface, but their hearts were full of joy.

Jiuyouguo raised his eyebrows again, and with the whole sea, his waist pole was even harder, and he could stand up straight.

Over there, Ying Zhao paused and continued: "Heilong Island is also developing well, and the expansion and reconstruction of the Sailor Port have been completed. General Xingtian, the training of troops on the island has also achieved initial results, all the people are soldiers, and the soldiers and civilians on the island are farmers in leisure time and soldiers in wartime. It can make Black Dragon Island the second Shuoyue Island. ”。

"Last time, when the Beiyin Dynasty invaded in a big way, Gong Mingyi also divided his troops to attack Black Dragon Island. The defense of the island, all under the command of General Xingtian, fought very beautifully, and almost completely annihilated the invading enemy. At the end, Ying Zhao added another sentence and praised Xingtian: "I also used a plan to capture several Dafu ships of the Northern Yin Dynasty." ”。

"Well, I also saw this in the war report, and I also talked about the reward for meritorious deeds, Xingtian is a piece of material for war. Xiao Shizhu nodded, and his satisfied expression was still on his face: "As long as he is used to govern the army and command the army, it is to use good steel on the blade." ”。

Ying Zhao nodded silently, agreeing with Xiao Shizhu's words.

But after a while, Ying Zhao asked again: "By the way, big brother, do you know who the Northern Yin Dynasty arranged in the south of Liutianzhou to preside over military affairs?"

"Shangqing boy. Xiao Shizhu replied casually, his tone a little disapproving.

"Yes, this new opponent that the Northern Yin Dynasty has given us is not a good man and a woman. Picking up his teacup, Ying Zhao took a sip of tea, and said, "This guy is really not in vain." As soon as he arrived, he vigorously built fortifications in the coastal areas, built along the coast, defended according to the danger, and could echo and support each other as horns. ”。

A hint of admiration appeared in Yingzhao's eyes, but it soon disappeared in a flash.

He sincerely admired this opponent who was also the commander of the northern territory of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

After inspecting the front line, Ying Zhao saw not only that the defense construction of the Nine Shadows Country was progressing smoothly, but also that he saw the ability of the Shangqing boy.

"This little devil can still establish a port on the coast, at the mouth and exit of those rivers, and take advantage of our control of the whole sea. Immediately afterwards, Ying Zhao said to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother: "Even the dock workshop has been built. This allowed the Northern Yin Dynasty to still have the power of the sailor in the southern region of the Six Heavens Continent. Coupled with the forts on the coast, we can make it impossible for the Beiyin Dynasty to go south, and the Beiyin Dynasty can also make it impossible for us to go north. ”。

After a pause, Ying Zhao continued: "Before I returned, I heard from the local scouts of our army that this Shangqing boy had recently moved people, and the intelligence also mentioned that he wanted to complete the clearing and cultivation of the inland land only thirty miles away from the coast. And build towns and cities so that these places also form a line of defense. ”。

"Build a city and defend the land?" Xiao Shizhu frowned when he heard this, and he also felt that this Shangqing boy was a good ghost.

Don't underestimate this city and defend the land, there are ghost towns and ghost towns, and you can place a large number of lonely ghosts and a large number of ghost people.

When there is no war, open up wasteland nearby, increase the income and treasury of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and fill the warehouse. When a war starts, these ghosts can be formed into a group of ghost soldiers.

It is exactly the same as Xiao Shizhu's strategic national policy of getting on the horse as a soldier, getting off the horse for the people, and all the people are soldiers.

What will be the effect of this kind of national policy in the future, Xiao Shizhu is very clear.

When Ying Zhao nodded, Xiao Shizhu said again: "This Shangqing boy's little white face is not the kind that is useless." ”。

When Ying Zhao heard this, he wanted to laugh a little, but he hurriedly bit his lower lip and held back.

At this time, the moonlight was shining on Xiao Shizhu's face opposite, and Xiao Shizhu had been in the palace recently, and his fair skin was also more delicate, and it looked like Xiao Shizhu was more like a little white face.

After fixing on the heroic move, he finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Big brother, I think it's interesting to deal with an opponent like Shangqing Tongzi." The opponent is too weak, but it's not interesting, just because there is an opponent like Shangqing Tongzi, so you won't get bored. However, because of this, we cannot underestimate this opponent. ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu bowed his head slightly, humbly accepted Yingzhao's suggestion, and then asked: "Look, do you have any suggestions for dealing with the impregnable defense of the Shangqing boy?"

"Not yet. Ying Zhao was very honest, shook his head and said bluntly.

Yingzhao is not only brave and strategic, but also honest and realistic, which is what Xiao Shizhu likes the most.

Today, Yingzhao is still like this.

He didn't expect Ying Zhao to give him any perfect advice right away, of course there was a suggestion that was the best, if he didn't, don't fool him Xiao Shizhu.

Yingzhao did it, he knew it as well as he did in the past, and he didn't know it and didn't believe it, which made Xiao Shizhu very satisfied.

"Well, then first keep an eye on every move of this Shangqing boy, know yourself and know your opponent, so that you can not be defeated in a hundred battles. Xiao Shizhu, who had been frowning and pondering for a long time, slowly stretched his brows.

He thought of a way to deal with the Shangqing boy, so he told Ying Zhao: "I have to let the boy of Shangqing move first, but I'm curious, what new tricks can he play next?"
