In Qiu'an City, the flag at the head of the city has not had time to be replaced with a new one, and the wind is waving to announce that the autumn wind has arrived.

Pei Zhen and his entourage of four slowly ascended to the city tower, and Mei Ziqing was haunted, or deliberately hidden, never appearing in front of people.

In the battle under their feet, the city guards and the private soldiers of the Murong family gradually changed from the complaints at the beginning, and slowly became obedient.

"Yelu Jin is a general. Chi Xuance nodded in approval.

"Why isn't it handsome?" Cui Xian asked with a smile.

"Isn't this a chance to show yet!"

Pei Zhen threw out a sentence, causing everyone to laugh.

"It's going to be soon, and it's going to be a good time soon. Chi Xuance's smile flashed, obviously to echo it.

Pei Zhen was propping up the thick city wall, with a serious expression, "Murong accepts them?"

"You don't think they'll just leave it at that, do you?"

The wind blew on his face, bringing a slight coolness, and also blowing the worry in Chi Xuance's eyes.

Taking off the white clothes that the Sword Sect is used to, Pei Zhen is wearing a black dark gold patterned power suit, and the temperament of the whole person is a little more mature and cold, he straightens his waist and looks into the distance, as if he is talking to himself, and seems to be talking to everyone.

"Judging from the past situation of the grassland, the five subordinate military states in Murong Cheng's hands can support him with a maximum of 50,000 capable soldiers, the most!"

"The other three are smaller than Yue, and if they have a military state under their head, it will be even worse, and it would be good to have five or six thousand soldiers who can fight. ”

"Mr. Chi, Mr. Cui, and Apocalypse, do you think they will come out of the nest and tear their faces to storm Qiu'an City?"

Fu Tianqi, whose image had been getting closer and closer to Fu Lin, was looking intently at the cāo) practice below, and was suddenly hit by his name, and he was still a little flustered for a while, "No, won't you interfere with this Youyun Prefecture Jiedu Envoy?"

Chi Xuance smiled at the corner of his mouth, this Fu brother is still very smart.

"No one will ignore the stability of the rear. Blatantly attacking is not enough, especially after the miracle a few days ago. Cui Xian's inference is also very clear.

Everyone nodded slightly in their hearts, indeed, when that miracle happened, it was also a major key for these city guards and Murong family's private soldiers to become honest now.

"Is there any news from the messenger sent to Jinning Prefecture?" Chi Xuance asked a seemingly unrelated question.

Pei Zhen shook his head helplessly. ... Qi.iqiwx.#... The fastest

Now that they have just arrived in the fiefdom, everything is ready to start, and there is no foundation for reporting channels, even if there is a figure like Cui Xian with the ability to be a big housekeeper, it will be difficult to establish the framework for a while.

Because, most crucially, there is no one available.

Many people think that when an army marches and fights, there are soldiers who charge into battle and break the enemy under swords and guns, and then there are plotters who strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and everything will be fine, but in fact it is far from wrong.

Fighting a war is more about logistics, talents, reporting, and the collision of swords and soldiers, which is just the final concrete display of all the achievements.

The requisition and deployment of grain and grass, the allocation of personnel, and the reporting of secret battles are all major events hidden behind the scenes, and they are major events that determine victory or defeat.

So

, Yang Hao was able to snatch the chair closest to the commander in Ling Qingyun's army, and even be on a par with Qin Ling.

Chi Xuance is like the Qin Mausoleum in the Ling family's army back then, and Cui Xian is like Yang Hao back then.

But these two people, compared to those two, the gap is still not small.

Chi Xuance was not discouraged, he squatted down, took out a charcoal pen that he was carrying with him from the square inch, and drew two squares on the ground.

"We still don't have a complete topographical map of the fiefdom, but that's pretty much it. ”

He circled a black dot on the left side of the left square, "This is Qiu'an City, and in front of us is Youyun Prefecture, which is the size of several Yue, and behind Youyun Prefecture, is Jinning Prefecture, which is the sole power of the Liu family." ”

"There is no problem with our strategy, we will bow our heads to the Liu family for the time being, and concentrate on attacking Youyun. However, Liu's current attitude is unclear, so we must make preparations with both hands. ”

Pei Zhen had already squatted down, looking at the two boxes on the ground with burning eyes.

"If you agree, you can go ahead with the plan, but what if you don't?" asked Pei Zhen.

Chi Xuance was categorical, "The battle of blood and fire, unite all the forces that can be united, and expand strongly at any cost." ”

"That's to kill people. Cui Xian said softly.

"Even including the cowardly Xue Wei, there may not be much left. Chi Xuance had no choice.

Pei Zhen pursed his lips and looked at Chi Xuance, "How likely does Mr. Chi think it is that the Liu family agrees?"

"The tiger wolf will not welcome another tiger wolf, but may agree to be a neighbor with a fox. Chi Xuance had obviously thought about this question for a long time.

Fu Tianqi remembered that he had traveled with his master, and the words that the master had said, "It means that the more powerful we are, the more jealous the Liu clan will be, and if we are weaker, the Liu clan may not take action against us?"

Pei Zhen smiled and gave Fu Tianqi a thumbs up, Fu Tianqi smiled shyly, and wondered: "How weak is that?"

"It's good to be one line higher than Murong Cheng. "Needless to say, everyone has figured out this answer.

Just when everyone thought that the shape had become clear, Chi Xuance and Pei Zhen sighed almost at the same time, "It's a pity, it's unrealistic." ”

Chi Xuance nodded at the small dot that belonged to them on the ground, and the vast Youyun Prefecture, "We don't have so much strength to spend with them, and we can't hide anything, so we can only do our best, what it is like is what it is, it is best to win as crisp as Qiu'an City, and it is like a bamboo." ”

Pei Zhen pouted in the direction of the battle under the city wall, "It's not appropriate to die more than one person with such a few people." ”

"So, let's only strike first! When these recruits are available, we will wave our troops to the east, and before the Liu clan reacts, we can grab as much territory as we can. And then slowly draw it. ”

Cui Xian seemed to disagree with such considerations, "Why don't you use Qiu'an City as the foundation to build a strong army, improve the content of newspapers, grain and grass, and then plan a big plan?"

"My uncle and I used to play a deduction game, assuming that a state produces soldiers and food

Grass and other balances, with the land of two states and the land of five states to confront, can only through continuous war to try to draw the strength of the two sides closer, drag down the pace of their development, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the side with a small territory. Pei Zhen slowly stood up and rubbed his numb legs.

Chi Xuance also said slowly: "Murong Cheng also hopes that our footsteps will stay in Qiu'an City as long as possible. ”

As soon as he said this, Cui Xian instantly understood, looked at the vigorous warriors below, and sighed.

A cowardly Xue Wei scout rushed up the city wall, "Qi Qi, probe the Malay, there are two armies of soldiers and horses totaling more than 3,000 people, and they entered the northern Bull City yesterday. ”

Almost at the same time, another cowardly Xue Wei scout rushed over, "Under Qiqi, there is a team of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, which entered the crescent moon city in the south yesterday. ”

Pei Zhen stepped forward, helped the two of them up one by one, and patted their arms, "It's hard work, tell General Yelu, look at people again, and always pay attention to each other's movements." ”

The two of them excitedly took the order and left.

There was no reporting staff, so I had to let these scouts who barely hooked up with the newspaper do these things.

Several people glanced at each other, but before they could speak, another scout came and knelt on one knee, "Down, the east side of the city is blowing, and five thousand soldiers and horses have arrived this morning." ”

The autumn wind is bleak, except for the retreat, surrounded on three sides.

-

As the name suggests, there is yellow sand everywhere, and the wind and dust are sinister.

But as a former summer bowl, the summer resort of Emperor Yuanhuang will inevitably not be filled with yellow sand rolling everywhere.

The oases are like stars, scattered among this large area of Gobi and desert.

An avenue leads to the largest oasis among them, where it is the center of the Sand Sea of Bedjia, the current base camp of the third prince Xue Rui, Bedjia City.

In the city, Xue Rui, who was wearing a green robe, knocked on Mr. Wu's door.

Mr. Wu was emaciated, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his cheekbones were raised, but when everyone looked at him, they didn't care about those parts, but were firmly attracted by those bright and deep eyes.

He sat down in his chair and didn't greet him, but stretched out his hand to the chair opposite.

Xue Rui was not angry, sat down slowly, picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and handed one cup to Mr. Wu respectfully, "Please teach me, sir." ”

Mr. Wu took the teacup and sighed, "I shouldn't have come back." ”

"Why?"

"Is it for King Jing's business?" asked Mr. Wu.

"Naturally, he suddenly became the king and turned the tables in one fell swoop, and I was afraid of making a mistake in dealing with it, so I rushed back to ask Mr. Xue Rui's face was pale, his lips were thin and bloodless, and he spoke slowly.

"You've already made a mistake when you come back. Looking at Xue Rui's puzzled look, Mr. Wu continued: "It is true that the king is crowned, but there are also differences between this king and the king. King Jing was crowned king this time, which seemed to be beyond everyone's expectations, but if he found that hidden vein, he would not be surprised. ”

Xue Rui couldn't help but lean forward,

His eyes burned, "Sir, but you found it?"

Mr. Wu didn't answer him directly, but picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Dare to ask, what is the most important event in the Beiyuan Dynasty now?"

Looking at Xue Rui's slightly thoughtful watch, Mr. Wu did not sigh in his heart.

"Southern Expedition?" After a moment, Xue Rui replied tentatively.

Mr. Wu put down the teacup heavily, "It is the Southern Expedition! His Majesty Emperor Yuan has endured for more than 20 years, and once it broke out, not to fight for power, but to dominate the world, everything that stands in front of this matter will be destroyed by him, even Xue Junshen is no exception." ”

Xue Rui suddenly realized, but what does this have to do with the old four kings, is it compensation?

Xue Rui didn't speak, unwilling to be too ignorant in front of Mr. Wu.

"Are you thinking that this time the king is Emperor Yuan's compensation to the military god?" Unfortunately, Mr. Wu didn't give him a chance to pretend.

Xue Rui had no choice but to laugh dryly.

"Everyone is dead, what's the use of compensation?" Mr. Wu sighed softly, "Let's continue to push up." Do you think that His Majesty Emperor Yuan's southern expedition will send Wuwei Hou Helian Qingshan, who ranks tenth on the heavenly list, to take command or send Wu Ti, the co-owner of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry, to lead the troops to the expedition?

Xue Rui thought carefully and said slowly: "Wu Weihou is probably the biggest!"

Mr. Wu sighed in his heart again, this third prince is decisive in killing, and his skills are not weak, but for the way of scheming, it is always difficult to enter the door, and he risks being disgusted by him, and guides him from time to time, but with little effect.

If it weren't for the life-saving grace of the year, it would not be a good master!

He had no choice but to say calmly: "Next, don't be bound by the existing conditions, such as the question of Fang Cai, do you think it is possible for Your Majesty to drive the expedition in person?"

Xue Rui was shocked, and immediately thought, yes! With his father's current state of being complacent and full of ambition, it is very likely that he will drive the expedition in person in order to succeed in the first battle!

Mr. Wu's words came again, "If Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition in person, should you take the lead in considering the stability of the rear?"

"This rear is stable, and it is divided into two aspects, one is the government and the other is the imperial power. In terms of government and politics, there is the head of the royal family, King Yong, and there are three dynasties to take care of the fate of Lord Yuantao, so he can have no worries. And what about the imperial power?"

"Now that the battle for the throne of the three inferior princes is in full swing, if anyone takes the opportunity to eat the Immortal City and claim that the emperor is self-reliant, wouldn't it add variables?"

"Now, Your Majesty's canonization of King Jing is first of all to affect people's hearts, if the other three princes want to be emperor, others will think, you are not even a prince, how can this throne be your turn? But if King Jing is called emperor, his strength is still weak, and when His Majesty's class teacher returns to the dynasty, he may not be able to have much strength. ”

"The second is to stir up contradictions, Xia and the other two princes do not want King Jing to stand on his own, and will obstruct it in every possible way, and King Jing will naturally try his best to protect himself or fight back, and the supporters of all parties in the DPRK and China will also stand in line, fight separately, and fight endlessly, where can they still take care of snatching the throne. And the regents who stayed behind would even add fuel to the fire, as long as the situation was maintained

Control the range, call back and forth, they sit firmly on the high platform and watch the play. ”

"Now I know why it was a mistake to rush back immediately. ”

Xue Rui was told in a cold sweat by Mr. Wu's thorough analysis, and his heart was cold.

"Then how should we act? Prepare for war and grab the throne? Or deal with the fourth?" Xue Rui has one good point, that is, the questions he asks often point directly to the solution.

Mr. Wu shook his head, "Next, if you think about it carefully, let me think about it all night." Now it doesn't hurt to stay still for a day. ”

Xue Rui stood up and bowed respectfully, "Okay, Xue Ruiming will come to visit Mr. again." ”

After saying that, he turned away, and Mr. Wu didn't send him off.

In fact, he had already made a plan, but he still hoped that Xue Rui would think more.

He sighed and reached under the chair and pushed it gently, and it turned out to be a wheelchair!

When the chair turned, revealing two knee-length broken legs, he never looked down, and the reason why Xue Ming didn't care was self-evident.

Looking out the window, the leaves had begun to turn yellow.

Autumn is here, and the killing season is here.

The autumn of the grassland is full of war, but the autumn of Daduan is fruitful and full of harvest.

The night was dark, Qi Ziyi sent off the last group of guests and slowly walked back to the inner room.

The wick had been cut off a lot, but Qi Ziyi's face was not tired at all, but had an exuberant flush.

Originally, after he entered Beijing, he lived in seclusion and quietly befriended the descendants of some cultivation sects, and the best relationship was the hidden dragon of Qingyin Pavilion.

It's a pity that in the Fog Hidden Valley, the Hidden Dragon fell, and the rest of the sect's disciples couldn't provide any help.

In their eyes, Taoism is nothing more than another sect of cultivation, and there is nothing special about it.

For a while, Qi Ziyi's courtyard was cold, and he felt that it was difficult to move an inch.

Just when he was slightly disheartened, the great fortune suddenly fell down.

The ten thousand rays of light that day, the sky is auspicious, and the shadow of the bull-riding Taoist priest is deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in this world.

Since that day, Qi Ziyi's simple mansion, known as the heir of Zixiao Palace, has been like a city, and there is an endless stream of powerful people.

He himself didn't expect that he was borrowing the work of his ancestor to break the game, and he was taking the road of powerful and powerful ministers.

Blowing out the oil lamp, Qi Ziyi floated on the roof, looking at the oval moon in the sky, in his mind, a leisurely picture of himself wearing a royal purple coat and holding a dusty hand.

He suddenly felt like drinking.

-

Wherever the horse's hooves go, the grass and trees gradually withered and yellowed.

Jian Qi's eyes were a little blue, and his eyes were very resentful when he looked at Yunluo.

Yunluo forced a smile and pretended not to be seen.

He didn't expect that when Jian Qi really asked that question, Guan Youyou's punch would be so crisp and powerful.

"Miss Guan, you said that day, when I was taken captive

You've met a bunch of horse thieves?"

Guan Youyou still had a good face towards Yunluo, and nodded, "Well, there are still a lot of people." ”

"What about combat power? ”

Guan Youyou pondered: "The bow horse is skilled, and it seems that he is also familiar with martial arts. ”

Jian Qi saw the stitches, "There are a lot of horse thieves on the grassland, gathering crowds to live, whistling back and forth, except that there are no rules, there is no difference from ordinary sergeants, and even a little stronger than ordinary sergeants, after all, the knife edge tiǎn) blood business." ”

Yunluo smiled mysteriously, "Why don't we prepare a gift for Pei Zhen?"
