The important town of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qiyi, is also the Xiqi of Zhou Wen and Wu Erwang, and later because of the establishment of the country on behalf of Shang, King Wu moved the capital to Chaoge and changed its name to Haojing, and Xiqi was also replaced by Qiyi, becoming the central head of the northern part of the western border.

In Qiyi, a horse is galloping on the bluestone paved street, from the west gate to the city office, and finally stop in front of a very magnificent palace gate, the house is deep and wide, the high and powerful courtyard, there are four negative armor people on both sides of the door, the horizontal plaque above the gate is eye-catching, the red characters on a black background, the word 'Huangfu' is written, and the inscription is written by King Wu himself.

Immediately the messenger at the door to hand over the inspection, passing, from the corner door inside, soon came to the main hall of the house, this time after the delivery of the inspection of the pass did not go again, but the back of the bamboo tube handed over to the chief on duty, a moment later, the bamboo tube letter appeared in the study on several cases.

A middle-aged man finished reading the bamboo letter and handed it to the old man beside him, when he read it, the middle-aged man's brows had been deeply stacked, perhaps it was often difficult to express the relationship, and a deep figure-eight fold had appeared on his forehead, which was difficult to fill in even in ordinary times.

The old man babbled, read the letter from the beginning carefully, and said, "General, this war report is a little strange. ”

"What Mr. Zhumo said is that the attack of the demon clan seems to be similar to previous years, but the few places provided are the places where my western realm is produced, Pingfu, Luoshuiguan, and Xiling City...... Bows, crossbows, blades, machine beasts, and Dan furnaces have all lost their supplies, so much so that they seem to have some schemes. ”

The Great Zhou military system, above the division generals, uniformly, the person who leads an army can be called a marshal, commonly known as a general, also known as a general, but those who can be called a general must be above the marshal, the lord of the three armies, and the only one person in the entire western territory who is qualified for this is the grandson of the former Marshal of the Flying Tiger, and now the general Huang Shenyuan who controls the western border.

Next to him is the staff of the Huang family and an old friend of General Huang, Mr. Zhumo.

Zhumo is known as the second general of the Western Realm, not only because he is deeply trusted by Huang Shenyuan, but also far beyond ordinary people, and he is quite popular in the army, with his help, Huang Shenyuan has been like a rock in the Western Territory for decades, and the entire Western Territory has been expanding towards the territory of the demon clan, and the area has gradually approached Xiniu Hezhou.

The White Horse Army is stationed in Yangguan, in the middle of the western border, which is still far away from Qiyi, but Huang Shenyuan chose to live in the former residence of the former Flying Tiger General, but it is closer to the north, but the two generals in the White Horse Army are the nephews of the Huang family, and the combat power of the whole army is quite strong, and the middle line is safe.

Naturally, although Huang Shenyuan's wisdom is not as good as Zhumo, he is also a person who has lived in the battle array for a long time, and he quickly saw the focus of this demon clan's attack from the battle report.

"What is the general's explanation?" Zhumo thought for a moment and asked.

Huang Shenyuan snorted and said: "The demon clan's actions seem to have suffered enough from our army, and they want to destroy the output of combat readiness and fight with me, this is a yang scheme, so I will also use the yang plot to oppose it, mobilize the tiger to change the defense, and the eagle will go out to fight back, regain the lost territory, and recast its momentum." ”

"The six armies in the west, the second army is in the northern line, the white horse is in the middle line, and the third army is in the southern line, the reason why this is the case is actually to deal with the size of the demon clan's military strength," Zhumo thought for a while and said: "Such a demon clan is coming, it seems that there is not much movement, but I am afraid that there will be movement in the future, and even a big war." ”

"It's just a small fight, how can there be a big fight?" Huang Shenyuan smiled: "Although there is news from the state spy that the demon clan is recruiting troops on a large scale, even if these demon clans are full of conscription and can go into battle, I don't know when they will go, so they won't be used for it, right?"

Mr. Zhumo sighed and said: "Brother Shen Yuan, don't underestimate the demon clan of this generation, although the demon clan brute force fights, and the strategy assisted by demon magic suffers in front of us, but now, the consumption of machine beasts and ordnance has increased, and last year's several battles were only narrowly won, indicating that the demon clan has found a suitable way to deal with it, and now the new type of machine armor has not yet been fully formed, so jointed, the demon clan launched an offensive, it may not be so simple." ”

"Are you saying that the demon clan has already found out the news of our clan's machine armor?" Huang Shenyuan's face turned a little cold, and said: "It's so secret, even few people in our army know about it, how does the demon clan know about it?"

"So, I let you not underestimate the newborn demon clan," Zhumo said: "One of the reasons why we recruited some demon clans in the army for my use is to cultivate some state spies and infiltrate the land of the demon clan to find out the news. ”

Huang Shenyuan nodded, and said with a little deep concern: "It is not unreasonable to say this, if the demon clan's behavior is related to the matter of our human race's organ armor, then their next target must be related to our machine armor, and now that the machine armor that goes out is placed in the hot spring pass, then do we mobilize the tiger army to strengthen its defense?"

"I don't think so. Mr. Zhumo picked up the battle report again as he spoke, handed it to Huang Shenyuan, and said, "If nothing else, I think this matter is a strategy to attack the west, and the hot spring pass is just a cover." ”

Huang Shenyuan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Brother Zhumo, then what do you think is ......?"

"Xiyi!" Zhumo said resolutely: "Xiyi is an important town for the production of machine armor, and I think the demon clan's goal must be here. ”

Huang Shenyuan's eyebrows suddenly raised, and then re-unfolded the battle report, looked at both sides carefully, walked quickly to the map, stretched out his hand to make a few gestures on it, and suddenly slapped the table and said: "Yes, all places are important places within a hundred miles of the Hot Spring Pass, but there is no movement in the south, which is unreasonable, especially the fire oil in the black fire city, which has caused a lot of trouble to the demon clan, and there has been no movement, which is completely unreasonable." ”

Speaking of this, Huang Shenyuan showed a faint smile on his face, and said: "The demon clan has really grown, so it seems that his obvious move is to attack north, wanting to lure me to go north, and divide the army, but secretly occupy the Black Fire City, cross the Black Fire Lake, and travel quickly to Xiyi...... Although there are a few joints in the middle of this move, it must have found a solution. ”

"Yes, although I can't guess how to act, but I think there must be a solution," Zhumo nodded: "The cities that pass through this route are only one Black Fire City, if there is a way to force the Black Fire Lake, although there are mountains to block it, there are no towns along the way, no one can notice, you can go directly to Xiyi, it is really a good trick." ”

"Ground march, gallop forcibly, trek hundreds of miles, as long as you don't use Yunzhou to transport soldiers, I can't find out......" Huang Shenyuan's face finally eased, and he said happily: "Fortunately, although you were not here a few days ago, I have already dispatched a brigade of the Eagle Yang Army to garrison, it is estimated that it is almost there, and I also sent a message to Tianshan Escape before, and temporarily sent people to assist in the defense, and the news that came back said that it had gone to Yizheng three times and six waits, a total of ten generals, plus the guards in the city, it was enough to resist the two divisions. ”

"It should be fine," Mr. Zhumo smiled, and seemed to be extremely happy with the news, and said slowly: "Tianshan is a multi-capable general, defend the city and defend it, and the first or two divisions of the demon clan will not be too threatening...... It's just that I don't know who the Tianshan Escape is sending out?"

"It seems to be called truncating. ”

Mr. Zhumo shook his head: "The identity of the person in the Tianshan Mountains is secret, and the birth date and old news are all hidden, and there is no way to find out.

Tianshan Dun cooperates with other armies, or sends people to assist, because Zhengci's identity is kept secret and cannot be revealed, so he often returns the records of his generals, the purpose is to deter, so that he does not dare to underestimate and act sluggishly, and at the same time to publicize his own merits, so Zhumo will have this question.

Sure enough, Huang Shenyuan looked in the cabinet, took out a roll of sheepskin and handed it to the bamboo ink.

Zhumo unfolded it and looked at it carefully, Huang Shenyuan waited beside him, but saw that Zhumo's face was gradually solemn, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Is there a problem?"

Mr. Zhumo's face was a little unsightly, he took a deep breath, as if he was stabilizing his mood, and then said: "Judging from this person's record, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate......

"Why?" Huang Shenyuan snatched the parchment scroll from his hand, although he had already seen it, but he still read it again, the interception record written on the parchment scroll was impressive, extremely brave, and he was a fierce general, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he looked up at Zhumo and waited for him to explain.

"This person is good at fighting, brave, and there is no problem, but there is one thing that makes me a little worried," Zhumo's eyes were full of worry, and said: "This person is warlike, I am afraid that he may not be able to defend the city safely, but will find another way and act cheaply!"

"You're saying he's going to take the initiative?"

"I'm afraid that's going to happen!, but maybe there's another possibility," Zhumo said, "After arriving in Black Fire City, he'll be bored, or he will go to find the bad luck of the demon clan, I don't know!"

Huang Shenyuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands.

Immediately outside the door, a guard responded: "Please give the general an order." ”

"Send someone to summon Tianshan Escape, ask him to contact Interception, ask about the current situation of Black Fire City and his location, and come to me quickly!"

"Wow. ”

Half an hour later, a report was sent to Huang Shenyuan, after seeing this report, the hearts of the two began to fall, as expected by Zhumo, now the interception is not to stay in the Black Fire City, but because of the pursuit of a demon clan, the distance from the Black Fire City has been shortened, after receiving the news of Tianshan Escape, this gave up the pursuit and began to return.

"I'm afraid that Black Fire City has been lost, and the Eagle Yang Army that rushed there is also a lot of luck," Huang Shenyuan said with a wry smile: "I never thought that there would be such a reckless person in Tianshan Escape, but this matter is somewhat interesting......" Speaking of this, his eyes began to narrow slightly, and there was a rather strange look in his eyes, as if he was thinking, and at the same time, Na Zhumo's face also changed from worrying just now, and suddenly became a little resolute.

“...... Don't leave if you come, stay!" Huang Shenyuan's mouth suddenly pulled up, and he said categorically: "Eagle Yang three armies, transfer one army to hunt, and two armies go north to subdue the lost land, what is it?"

"It's so good, it's just ......" Zhumo thought for a while, and said: "It's enough to defend the city and fight, if you want to hunt, I'm afraid it's a little insufficient." ”

"I also know, it's a pity that there are only two armies on the northern front, Tiger Ben and Eagle Yang, if the Tiger Ben moves, the hot springs are unstable, unless ......" Huang Shenyuan pondered for a moment, suddenly showed a mysterious smile, and said: "How can you change the guard of the White Horse Army?"

Zhumo's face moved, and he said, "Xiao Shan?"

Huang Shenyuan stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "If I really can't hide anything from you, it's Xiaoshan!"

"So very good, there are more than a dozen Yunzhou ships stationed in Xiaoshan, and the exchanges are like electricity, which is enough to help the central and northern roads, but it is an old strategy!" Zhumo nodded and said: "In this way, the troops are enough, just a place for hunting, and the general has a certain number?"

Huang Shenyuan looked at Zhu Mo, Zhu Mo looked at him, a mysterious smile appeared in the eyes of the two at the same time, and suddenly said together:

"Yunzhan Villa. ”

After speaking, the two laughed together......

One by one, the military orders were quickly conveyed and sent to various places, and the army of the entire western border of the Great Zhou began to mobilize unconsciously, and the entire state apparatus exploded with great energy at this moment, and in an instant, the entire situation with the demon clan was pushed to another unknowable future.
