Chapter 2: Red Dust Bitterness (Part II)
Ren Yi pressed the sword on his waist in his left hand and walked into the post station wearing heavy armor.
After Yi Cheng came out, his head was as big as a fight: "This general, I am here as a post station, but I can't accommodate so many of you." ”
Kill Sheng came out from behind and shouted: "I didn't let you arrange housing for all of us! You have to see clearly, this is Langzhong of the Zhengwupin Army, and the left vanguard of the Demon Punishment Army, General Ren Yiren, you can quickly prepare a room for General Ren!"
Ren Yi waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll camp outside with everyone." ”
"Yicheng, you just need to prepare some grain and grass for us. ”
Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is still some grain and grass, but not much!"
"We'll be here for one night and we'll leave. ”
Killing: "No housing?"
Yi Cheng said: "Even if you want to live, you can't live, the post station is full today." ”
"It's full? Now that the army is in chaos, there are still people living in the post station?"
Yi Cheng pointed to the back and whispered: "In the evening, a newly replenished De'an Mansion magistrate came, good guy, there are two hundred people. ”
"The little seven-rank pusher has such a big pomp and circumstance?
Ren Yi stepped in and said: "Kill, don't forget your current identity, you are an official military attache of the imperial court, you can't be as unruly as before." ”
She said to Yi Cheng again: "The room is not needed, you can arrange food and grass for us as much as possible!"
"Killing, you take everyone to start camping, time is limited, after we repair for a short time, we have to go to meet the right vanguard!"
It was not until the second half of the night that calm was restored outside the post station, and the officers and soldiers were camped on both sides of the official road.
In the dead of night, Abato knocked on Gu Changqing's door.
"Your Excellency, I have found it clear, they are the headquarters of General Ren Yi, the left vanguard of the Imperial Court Demon Destroying Army, who has just retreated from the battlefield of Wuchang Mansion and the Sun Moon Sect. ”
"They will go to De'an Mansion tomorrow to meet with the Right Pioneer Wan Tenure Department. ”
I don't know when, Zhao Situ leaned against the door and said with a strange expression: "These two are your old acquaintances, why don't you see them?"
Gu Changqing said: "How is the situation in Huguang now?"
Zhao Situ said: "What can it do? The 300,000 army has been fighting in Huguang for more than a year, and has just pacified a prefecture, and as soon as the front foot goes, the back foot is reversed, and it has been transferred to seven prefectures, and there are still five prefectures that have not been recovered. ”
"I heard that Yu Qian, the general of the Demon Punishment, is well versed in the art of war, and he is a famous general, how can he fight for so long?"
"Not to mention, Yu Qian has some skills, but this time it is not like the orthodox four-year Sichuan Dafu Heavenly King who made a mess, Yu Qian is facing the cult Sun and Moon Sect that has been circulating for thousands of years, and there are 70,000 demons, and it is understandable that this battle is difficult to fight. ”
Gu Changqing thought for a moment and asked, "What is the current situation in De'an Mansion?"
Yabato said: "A few days ago, I asked a brother to go to investigate the situation in advance, and I only came back today, saying that the De'an Mansion has been surrounded by the Sun and Moon Sect, and it will fall sooner or later. ”
"They are supposed to join up with the vanguard on the right to relieve the siege of De'an. ”
"How's the deployment of troops?"
"There are still 5,000 soldiers in De'an Mansion, but they are all nine-rank Dao spirit soldiers, and the main seal officer and deputy seal officer of the Dao Urn Division were assassinated before the Sun Moon Sect besieged the city, and there are 30,000 Sun Moon Sect besieging the city, most of them are seven-grade ones, and there are also 5,000 five-grade demon beasts to help. ”
"What about the Demon Army?"
"The left vanguard army originally had 50,000 spiritual soldiers, but in the first battle of Wuchang, more than half of the losses were left, and only more than 20,000 remained, as for the right vanguard troops, it is unknown. ”
Zhao Situ sneered: "Even if the left and right armies are combined, it is enough to choke! The Sun Moon Sect is not so easy to deal with, and the army is all seventh-grade, and the nine-rank Dao spirit pawn will be sent to death if he goes." ”
Gu Changqing said: "Since they are all going to De'an Mansion, we will follow them tomorrow, and Yabato will arrange it." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
After Abato left, Zhao Situ walked into the house and said, "I advise you not to wade into the troubled waters this time." ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Situ asked rhetorically, "Can't you see it yet?"
Gu Changqing shook his head.
"You don't want to think about it, why are the demon slaying army all the Nine Rank Dao Spirit Pawns? The Sun Moon Sect has made a big mess this time, the momentum is huge, and the entire Huguang has almost fallen, although the imperial court has sent 300,000 troops, but the ones who can be requisitioned are all Nine Rank Dao Spirit Pawns, and they are not even equipped with a divine machine cannon, how can such a combat power fight with the Sun Moon Sect?"
Gu Changqing said: "You mean that someone in the imperial court did it on purpose?"
Zhao Situ sighed: "Sanyang is old, the emperor is about to become an adult, and Yu Qianping has made great contributions in the four years of orthodoxy, and when Sanyang has retired, it is estimated that he will enter the cabinet, but how can some people in the court easily let Yu Qian take the throne?"
"Who are some of the people you're referring to?"
Zhao Situ said with a smile: "The water in the court is deep! Not to mention the far, let's just say the near, although we left Nanjing City after a lot of hardships, but in the end there is no major obstacle, Kunlun Ruins as a chaotic party, if the court is united, where can we have the fate to go to Kunlun Ruins alive?"
"Seems you are well aware of the affairs of the court?"
"That's," Zhao Situ said, "Today's imperial court seems to be peaceful, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, let's just put it this way, with the Dao Gong Division, it is impossible for the imperial court to be united." ”
Gu Changqing caught a trace of information from Zhao Situ's words.
He thought for a moment and asked, "You mean that there are people in the court who are dissatisfied with Dao Gongsi?"
"Is it just someone?"
Zhao Situ yawned and said, "Don't say it, you'll know it slowly in the future." ”
The next day, just after dawn, Ren Yi led the army and marched all the way to De'an Mansion.
After walking for a while, Ren Yi said to Killing: "There is a team of people behind us who have been following. ”
Killing: "It's the newly added De'an Mansion magistrate, right?"
Ren Yi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"The De'an Mansion is now surrounded by the Sun and Moon Sect, and they can only follow us, and if we don't solve the siege of De'an, he won't be able to take office. ”
Ren Yi shook his head and said, "No, that's not what I want to say. ”
"And what do you want to say?"
Ren Yi groaned: "I always think that seven-rank pusher is very weird. ”
Killing Sheng looked back, behind the army, a horse team of more than a hundred people followed closely, and the person in front was wearing a seven-grade official uniform, with a beard on his face, and he didn't seem to be very old.
Killing Sheng looked at it for a long time and said, "Do you think he is a little young? This is not surprising, three years ago, there was turmoil in the Black and White Prison, and the armillary sphere of the southern prison rotated, and countless luck fell, maybe he just got one of the lucks, isn't that the case with Wan Term? If there is no luck from the armillary sphere, even if you cultivate for another three years, it is impossible to be promoted to the fifth rank so quickly." ”
Ren Yi shook his head and said, "No, I always feel that he is a little familiar." ”
"Familiar?" said disapprovingly, "I guess it's a noble kid from Nanjing, right?"
Ren Yidao: "I have basically met the children of noble relatives in Nanjing, but this one is the first time I have seen them. ”
Killing Sheng said with a big grin: "Don't think about it so much, General Zuo Xianxian, there is a fierce battle in front of us, and we don't have so much energy to think about the identity of a seven-rank pusher." ”
