The capital of Dachen State, Hanyang, Shangshu Province, the emperor's shogunate, the current top decision-making group of seven people are all Qi, left and right servants, left and right ministers, left and right prime ministers and prime ministers, and yesterday's military intelligence report is placed on the bookcase.

"Sure enough, the Great Yan Kingdom sent troops, but it was only a few days earlier than the intelligence expected, and this Murong Jun finally couldn't hold it back!" Song Yixiu, the first slaughter, looked at several colleagues and said, not much surprised by Dayan's declaration of war this time.

As the head of Shangshu Province, he does not have great power, no military power, no administrative power, and no right to appoint and dismiss and promote officials, but whenever there is a major problem in the empire and when it is faced with a major choice, he is responsible for convening all the heavyweights in Shangshu Province to discuss together and make major decisions for the empire!

"Da Chen has stopped expanding for more than 20 years and precipitated the fortunes of the country, which is to let the surrounding Xiaoxiao people jump out, Da Liang Xiao's family jumped out, and Dayan Murong also killed himself this time. "The right servant shoots Pang Nansongdao, and the left and right servants are responsible for the internal and external military deployment of the empire, and leads the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Indeed, Da Chen has endured too much in the past 20 years or so, and now His Majesty the Emperor has made up his mind to use thunderous means to eliminate the spies hidden in the court by various forces, and the internal troubles have been basically eliminated! "Zuo Cheng Shangguan Mingda Dao, Zuo Cheng is responsible for the assessment and appointment of civil and military officials, Just a few days ago, more than 40 officials who colluded with Daliang and Dai Zongmen were imprisoned, and more than 10 officials who had affairs with other forces were found out by the way.

"The Great Yan Army is now under the city of Neiqiu, it doesn't matter whether Neiqiu can hold it, we didn't deliberately increase the defense of Neiqiu at that time, first, Neiqiu is not dangerous to defend, and second, the supply line of the grain road is too long, and the Great Yan cavalry has obvious advantages, so it is not appropriate for us to fight with Dayan in Neiqiu. We focused on Anyang a few years ago, and this time we started a decisive battle with Dayan near Anyang. The left servant shot Lu Yuanlongdao, and then added: "Dayan withdraws 100,000 troops from the border of Daliang, and will definitely attack Puyang from the east, and then cut off our Kuaiqiu Post Road, and our army will shrink and deploy in the area from Anyang to Puyang." ”

Song Yixiu, the first commander, frowned and said: "In the Yellow Flood Area in the east of Xinzhou, the team cannot pass, and the eastern front military horses of the Great Yan Army still have to pass through Neiqiu, and it is a pity that a fulcrum that can guard the troops on both lines is lost." Since Dayan has declared war, it is justified for us to attack Dayan, the people of Xinzhou are too bitter, and they really can't bear to let them be plundered by Dayan anymore!"

Zuo servant shot Lu Yuanlong and said helplessly: "Originally, if the grain and grass in Yuzhou could be transported to Neiqiu, it might be able to support the garrison and buy some time for the army, but it is a pity that it was blocked out of the city by the Dayan army, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck, I hope that this grain transportation team can burn the grain and grass before it is annihilated, and not fall into the hands of the enemy! This is also a reason why we decided to give up Neiqiu." ”

Everyone was silent, and there was basically a consensus on abandoning Neiqiu and moving the strategic focus to Anyang.

"Okay, let's send the commanders back to the governor's mansion, and tomorrow we will meet the saint together and discuss the military situation! The dynasty has just started this morning, let's go to the court together and present the resolution to the emperor." Song Yixiu, the first slaughter, said while sorting out the submission.

Everyone stood up and bowed and replied, "Yes!"

Yuzhou Marshal's Mansion, Guanqiu paced in the lobby, his face was peaceful, but the generals on both sides were worried, the young marshal and Liu Xijiu were trapped outside Neiqiu City, facing the 100,000 military horses of Dayan, the fierce and auspicious!

"Haha, worthy of being a descendant of the Guan family, one person kills eight hundred, much stronger than Lao Tzu and me, even if he dies on the battlefield, he is also a good son of the Guan family! As a soldier, it is also fortunate to be able to catch up with such a war!" Guan Shuai was heroic and free, and then said: "With Mr. Liu here, what else is there to worry about! Don't be like this, you will summon me to Beijing today, what do you think about the war, hurry up and talk about it!"

"Dashuai, I ask for an order to go to Neiqiu, although the young marshal has good qualifications and combat power, and the willow sacrificial wine is a last resort, I may not be able to help much, at least I can do a response." "Liu Huan, who had just returned from the Eastern Theater and didn't have much time to do, stepped forward to ask for help.

"It's okay, General Liu, because it's a war zone in Xinzhou, it's not good for us to send people to go clearly, you just take two servants with you, remember, Shuo'er can't come back, that's where the duty lies, you, you must come back for me!" Guan Shuai said with a serious face.

Liu Huan and the generals were all warm in their hearts, "Yes, the last general will obey the order!"

Anyang, the county soldiers and horses are all lieutenants' mansions, far beyond other governors' mansions, is the Xinzhou soldiers and horses marshal's mansion of the courtyard, a busy scene, Xinzhou soldiers and horses are set up here with independent offices, early in the morning, the county generals, senators, all walks of life to explore the horses have gathered here, military intelligence espionage reports around the country are sent like snowflakes, the lobby is on the case.

Just after the hour, Xinzhou except Neiqiu other eight counties of soldiers and horses, senators and generals of the state all came to the lobby, Xinzhou marshal Sun Pengze was already sitting in front of the handsome case, looking at the spy reports everywhere, seeing that everyone was here, bowed slightly, and motioned for everyone to sit down. Sun Pengze is the youngest of the five marshals of Da Chen, with the most gentle personality, and is known as a handsome man.

"Yesterday, the 100,000 army of Dayan blatantly invaded my Dachen, and last night it had surrounded Neiqiu, and the front of the army was only five hundred miles away from us, which was a one-day journey of light cavalry, and a five-day journey of the infantry army, we endured it for twenty years, and this time they killed themselves. "Everyone is from the military and has some understanding of the situation, but the military situation is so grim that everyone still gasps. War is a storm, and no one present can avoid it.

"Tell the generals that our army has engaged in battle with it, and in the field, 3,000 soldiers carrying grain meet the opponent's 5,000 iron cavalry, and the result? Just now, 300 of our army were martyred, 2,000 and 5,000 were seriously wounded, and the Great Yan Thief Army also took five foundation building monks and three shamans. The pioneer general Murong Chenfeng was also seriously injured and almost died. When Marshal Sun Pengze said this, everyone was shocked, how could this be!

"There will be no mistake in the information, this is the report of our spies, this is the military report of the grain transportation team, this is the intelligence of the spies in the enemy army. This military horse is not our Xinzhou military horse, but the grain transportation team of the Yuzhou army. As the commander of the Xinzhou Army, I am disgraced, shameless! This team is the pride of our Da Chen, and now that they are besieged by tens of thousands of enemy troops, can we turn a blind eye?" Although from the perspective of strategic deployment, we should avoid its edge at this time and try to do it slowly, but Sun Pengze knows that this is also a good time to stimulate the fighting spirit.

"You may still have one thing you can't think of, this grain transportation team, there are the three sons of the Yuzhou marshal, and the Yuzhou army marshal even sent his son to fight for Xinzhou, we can't retreat, even if there is only one soldier left, we also want to rescue the son, we Xinzhou people have not yet reached the time to let the son die!"

"Let's make a plan for the march, you will circulate the battle report to all the generals! Then send troops!" Sun Pengze changed his previous Wensheng temperament, Xinzhou was invaded, as the marshal of Xinzhou, he could make a deployment to meet the battle without asking for instructions, but he needed to inform the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the deployment.

In Nanhua Palace, with the permission of the elders of the sect, hundreds of low-level disciples gathered in the square, and their youthful and immature faces could not hide their excited expressions. Yesterday, Dayan began to attack Chen, and there was no way to rebel, and the news that the war had begun spread throughout the Nanhua Palace this morning, as the noble children of the Dayan Empire, they inherited the aristocratic atmosphere of their fathers, and the hostility of their fathers to the Han people. So the whole square was indignant, and one by one it was filled with righteous indignation.

"The Han people of Dachen are low-class untouchables, but they occupy a land with fertile land and a mild climate, while Dayan inherits the bloodline of the ancestral gods, we have the bravest warriors and the best war horses, but they live in the bitter cold land of the north, why?"

"Confucianism is even more abusive, what kind of ruler despises the people, perverse behavior, what is taught without class, can those untouchables enter the immortal gate, joke! Confucianism is simply a flood of beasts. ”

"Da Chen favors Confucianism, this is not against us! Only by pacifying Da Chen can Confucianism be eradicated. ”

"Many of our senior brothers in the army participated in this southern expedition, and I don't know if Master will let us go down the mountain. ”

"Hey, when can we go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"

... ...

Qinxin Pavilion of Nanhua Palace, located on the shore of the Luoshui Lake in the back mountain, is the core area of Nanhua Palace, prohibiting low-level disciples from entering, compared with the square, it seems to be very quiet, Murong brothers and sisters have come here to talk since they came back from Kuaiqiu Post Road.

"Brother, what's the matter, you also want to participate in the Southern Expedition?"

"Yesterday the eldest brother was injured, and it was quite serious, I just went to see the eldest brother!"

"Brother, don't go, I'm afraid..."

"Xue'er, who let us be born in the Shangyong Palace, the eldest brother has been criticized this time, my father has summoned the arraignment, let the murderer who hurt the eldest brother be arrested, in order to wash away the shame of the eldest brother's defeat this time, rest assured, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

Suddenly, Murong Qiushi's message Jade Jane sounded again, Murong Qiushi picked up the Jade Jane, and after reading it, he changed color.

"What's the matter, is the big brother okay?" Murong Dongxue asked anxiously.

"Last night, the eldest brother was injured again, this time it is more serious, and he will not be able to recover in a short time, and he will miss this southern expedition, so that our Shangyong Palace's merits will be greatly reduced in this southern expedition! Murong Qiushi's expression was very complicated.

"How can this be? Isn't it just a grain transportation team? How can there be such a powerful character in it, it can't be him, right?" Murong Dongxue was very sensitive, and said anxiously: "Brother, I want to go too, I don't know what happened to him?"

"That's not good, you are not allowed to leave Nanhua Palace, if he is here, you can't go!" Murong Qiushi said without doubt.

"Brother, why, why did you say you couldn't see him as soon as you came back, why, what's wrong with him?" Murong Dongxue clearly felt that the wisp of love was still there. But in countless dreams, she dreamed that she and the Flower Sea Fairy were escaping from a demon, that is, he defeated the demon and saved himself at a critical time, but in the end he didn't even look at himself, like a stranger. This dream has been haunting her, it is obviously a dream, but it is so real!

"Anyway, I can't see it, I just can't see it, I'll tell you later! Not now, that kid should be fine, fuck, this kid is so fucking strong!" Murong Qiushi's obvious logical error was quickly noticed by Murong Dongxue, but she didn't ask again, there was always something indescribable about that dream. The monks of the Jindan realm are far more sensitive to heaven and earth than the monks of Zhuji, and since ancient times, it has been said that all the following are mortals in the Jindan realm, and after stepping into the Jindan realm, people's bodies, cultivation, and thoughts have undergone qualitative changes.

Another thing that made Murong Dongxue very mad was that Shizun went to the Shangyong Palace, was negotiating with the family for her marriage, and seemed to be reaching a consensus with the Shangyong Palace, one was a marriage considered from the interests of the family, and the other was a marriage considered from the Shicheng sect, which was related to her future cultivation. Although this is not what she wants, once it comes, it is something she can't resist. This is also the reason why Murong Qiushi once said to Li Tianxu, 'You have to prepare to elope with my sister'.

One is to give birth to his own family, the other is to cultivate his own teacher, and the other is a Confucian disciple whose whereabouts are still unknown. At present, only Murong Qiushi is more supportive of himself, at least not against it, but he has something to hide from him. Murong Dongxue was really at a loss in her heart, and she didn't know how to face everything that was coming.

"Brother, tell me the truth, he is a disciple of Confucianism, is he really okay?" Murong Dongxue thought about it and asked?

"Xue'er, whether he is a Confucian disciple or not, he is my friend. If something happens to him, I will do my best to help, okay, don't worry, I'll come when I go, and I won't get too entangled in the world. I really don't understand, what will happen to this southern expedition? It's best not to provoke those Da Chen's invisible strengths. Murong Qiushi said this, and said in his heart:

The two unfathomable figures beside the young man are not something that his own sect can provoke, but they are the existence of the Transformation Divine Realm Cultivation and Taiyi Scattered Immortals. Since the young man is a subordinate of Confucianism, how powerful is Da Chen's Confucianism, how powerful was the ancestor of Confucianism, everyone on the road of cultivation knows, where can Confucianism be weak, is it a big mistake that the Dayan Dynasty, Shimen and Confucianism are enemies, if it is not a mistake, then where is the confidence?

"Okay, Xue'er, I'm going to Neiqiu, don't worry, I'll be fine!" After speaking, Murong Qiushi turned around and left, leaving only Murong Dongxue sitting in the pavilion, looking at the waterfall by the lake, stunned...
