"It's good to have a famous horse, and my friend may need a lot of qualified horses. Now that Shaodian is fighting with several southern countries, it will not be easy to buy war horses in the future, and you can repay me if you can establish trade with him for war horses. Ding Kui keenly saw that there would be a shortage of war horses in the southern countries, not to mention selling them to others, at least enough for the Ding family to use for their own use.

"This is simple, I will give you a token, as long as you come to Zhushan City with this token, the Bai family promises to always sell him the best war horse. Bai Cen took off a piece of mountain-shaped blood jade from his waist and handed it to Ding Kui.

There is a pair of jade pendants, which are the inheritance of the head of the Bai family, and Bai Cen gave a piece to Ding Kui as a promise in the name of the family, representing Bai Cen's greatest sincerity.

There is a large cattle and horse trading market in Zhushan City, and Ding Kui can arrange for the Lu Chamber of Commerce to receive it at the border of Lu State, and the Lu Chamber of Commerce is responsible for transporting the designated place of Shaodian State.

One sunny morning, Ding Kui and Ao Yu left Zhushan City on four horses.

"Why don't you want the money he gave you? "Ao Yu slowly has the concept of money, although there are many treasures in his space ring, there are few gold coins.

"As a high-ranking race, you can't be too greedy, and you need to take a long-term view, and the sale of war horses in the future will be able to be earned sooner or later. Besides, I have gained a lot in Zhushan City, so I shouldn't pay too much attention to things outside my body. Ding Kui taught Ao Yu the truth of being a "human".

"I don't care, I will have a share of the war horse or something in the future. Ao Yu is getting harder and harder, "But you do get a little stronger." ”

"Well, it may seem to you a little," Ding Kui was a little discouraged, "I've mastered the art of flying." ”

"Cut, I was born will. ”

Ding Kui's head was erected with three black lines, and he didn't speak for a while.

Suddenly, a whirlwind with fire rolled up around Ao Yu, causing Ao Yu's mount to run wildly. Ordinary people will definitely fall off their horses when they encounter this situation, probably because of Ao Yu's racial coercion, the horse ran for a while and then stopped controllably.

"It was only when the magic was activated that I realized how your spirit had grown, and how it was so powerful. Ao Yu had expected Ding Kui's prank in his heart, and his expression seemed unhurried.

"Don't you see that this is a second-level compound magic? What are you talking about, that's not the point, you need a powerful soul to learn talent. Ding Kui realized that he had wasted his expression.

"I really believe this, I practiced secretly according to your method, and it didn't work at all. ”

"You learn secretly! Forget it, you can't learn it anyway, but it's okay to learn from me, remember that you must not peek at other people's practice. ”

"Isn't it just that I'm bored by being sealed to try it, what kind of second-level compound magic of yours can't break my defense, it's almost like tickling. ”

"If you have the ability, don't hide. ”

"If this clothes are torn, it will take yuan power to repair them, and it will take a few days to repair them, so why should I waste yuan power in vain. ”

"By the way, we'll change our makeup in the woods in front. ”

"Why?"

"We have made a lot of noise in Zhushan City, I don't know which local powerhouses will be annoyed, be cautious when you go out, and change your outfit to avoid a lot of trouble. ”

There are many more powerhouses in the Gu Yuan Empire than in the Shaodian Kingdom, even if there is Ao Yu, a fifth-level peak thug, it is easy to be suppressed if he is too high-profile, and Ding Kui knows a little bit about the taboo of walking the rivers and lakes.

The movements of the noble war in Zhushan City can only be a small shadow compared to the battle of the million-level legion in Nannuma, and the battle in Nanmarsh not only affects the nerves of the trooping country, but also pays close attention to other countries on the mainland that have not participated in the war.

The government and the opposition of their own country are talking about the war in Nannuma Prefecture every day, arguing endlessly over whether to help Shaodian Country and what conditions to attach to help Shaodian State.

King Jinan ascended the throne for ten years, and with the help of the shrewd and capable queen Shaodian Rong, he gradually took control of the power in the country, and he has not yet expressed his opinion on the Shaodian State War.

"Rong'er," Ji Nan still called his nearly fifty-year-old wife, "Do you really care about the affairs of Shaodian Kingdom?"

"The concubine is now the queen of her own country, she should worry about the affairs of her own country, Shaodian Dan has the ability to sit in the position of the king, and he should face these by himself. Shao Dianrong stroked the small wrinkles at the corners of her eyes in the mirror, she looked only in her thirties when she was three years older than Shao Diandan.

"No matter how you say that Lone is his brother-in-law, his own country and Shaodian Country have always been friendly, and now that the three countries are jointly attacking Shaodian Country, it is a little unreasonable for Lone to ignore it. Ji Nan knows that his talent is not as good as his wife, and he will listen to Shao Dianrong's opinions on important decisions of the country.

"This is easy to do, you send envoys to the three kingdoms of Meng, Cao, and Qi, severely condemn their aggression against the Shaodian Kingdom, urge the three kingdoms to withdraw their troops as soon as possible, and return a peaceful environment to the people of Nannuma Prefecture.

In addition, if your country encounters a good year in a row, you can clear out the old grain in the granary and send it to Nannuma Prefecture, and then the palace will buy a batch of cloth to send it over to help and comfort the people who have fled their homes due to the war. Your brother-in-law is considered to have done his duty. Shaodian Rong took off all the ornaments on her head and asked the maid to put them in the jewelry box, "The concubine took out all the jewelry and put it up for auction, and the proceeds from the auction were used to adopt orphans who lost their parents." ”

"The clan has money, how can you sell jewelry to a queen, and this will not help the war situation, and the number of victims will only increase. ”

Shaodian Rong glanced at Ji Nan and said, "Can the money of the clan house be compared to the jewelry of the concubines?

"Hehe, Lone knows what you mean, but it's useless to just let them think about it, the Commander's Mansion has a plan......"

Before Ji Nan finished speaking, Shaodian Rong pressed his mouth with her finger and said, "The concubine knows what the king is thinking. Meng, Cao, and Qi all want to occupy a piece of land in Jiangxi, and they do not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to attack the Shaodian State;

However, after you help Shaodian Dan repel the Three Kingdoms Alliance, can you stay in Nannuma Prefecture and not leave? Meng Fei, Cao Qi, and Qi Shao can get their hands on the territory of Shaodian Kingdom, but you can't. Not to mention the identity of the monarch and the concubines, let's just say that the two families of the Ji family and the Shaodian family have been in love for many years, and they do not allow their own army to forcibly occupy the land of Shaodian. Unless ......"

Ji Nan's interest was aroused, and he asked anxiously, "Unless what?"

"Unless you don't occupy the land of Shaodian. ”

"Do you mean that when those lands are determined to become the lands of Meng, Cao, and Qi, Gu will send troops to attack them?"

"That's right, we must first let the Shaodian Kingdom admit to losing those lands, and then we will join the Shaodian Kingdom to send troops to attack. After snatching it like this, we have a reason not to leave. ”

"Come on, pass on the decree to the clan and buy a new set of jewelry for the queen's mother. Ji Nan Mao suddenly opened, and he had a plan in his heart.

At the end of February 4872, Cao sent two additional legions to Jinping County, putting great pressure on Jiang Xi, the commander of Shaodian State.

After nearly half a year of fierce fighting, about one-third of Ditanglon's 12th Army Corps remained; the 8th, 11th, 14th, and 20th Army Corps, as well as the 1st, 1st, and 2nd Army Corps of the Middle Ground, the 1st Army Corps, and the 2nd Army Corps all suffered losses of varying degrees; only the 1st Army Corps of Haiti remained at full strength. Half of the 20th Army Corps could not move, and only more than 700,000 troops could fight in the Shaodian Kingdom.

The five legions of the Meng State, the four legions of the Cao State and the two legions of the Qi State, minus the part of the battle losses, had more than a million regular army troops.

The commander of the coalition forces, Helian Yu, suddenly disappeared, and the alliance forces of the three countries on the northern, central, and southern fronts moved one after another. Jiang Zhi judged that Helian Yu had a new strategic move, but he couldn't analyze her specific strategic intentions.

Jiang Xi ordered all theaters to be strictly defended, and at the same time asked the commander's office for help, and repeatedly urged the Haitian First Army Corps, which was staying outside Nanjing, to rush to the front line.

One day in early March, Shao Dianmi hurriedly came to Jiang Xi and said: "I have received information that the people in the occupied area have been forcibly conscripted into labor by the enemy, and their destination is to go to the front-line military camp where the battle is being fought. ”

"Labor?" Jiang Zhi was taken aback, and repeatedly checked the map of the war zone, and there were still words in his mouth.

"What? Wartime labor is nothing more than transportation and construction, could it be that Helian Yu wants to organize the people into an army?" Jiang Xi didn't understand Jiang Zhi's seemingly radical reaction.

"Build, yes, it's to build, it doesn't take many people just to transport, and the people of the Espionage Department are sending out information behind enemy lines, and there should be a lot of people in this forced labor. Jiang Zhi frowned.

Shaodian nodded and said, "That's right, there are many, in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, even women have been requisitioned." ”

Jiang Zhi rushed to a pile of documents and quickly flipped through the recent battle reports sent by various war zones, "Not good, Helian Yu is building a large building, judging from the fact that all war zones are killing scouts, it shouldn't be to build a fortification that connects all war zones, right?!" He was frightened by his own reasoning.

If Helian Yu heard Jiang Zhi's inference, it is estimated that she would also be shocked, Jiang Zhi has simply become a roundworm in her stomach, and the inference is actually not bad.

Cao Guo's increase of two legions was such a big move that could not be concealed from Shaodian State, Helian Yu took advantage of this incident to set up a suspicious formation, launched a feint attack on three fronts, and tried his best to kill the scouts of Shaodian State.

She secretly conscripted labor to build walls close to the battle line, separating the occupied area from the defense line of the Shaodian army, and ensuring that the occupied area became a safe rear.

A city wall stretching from the riverside city of Jinping County in the north, passing through the border of Yanling County and Huashan County, and reaching the swamp side of Nanqiu County in the south, has begun to take shape under the emergency repair of millions of people in ten days.

Jiang Xi listened to Jiang Zhi's inference and immediately ordered: "Order Hu Qin to have his 14th Army launch a tentative attack on the enemy-occupied area along the Tongyuan River; ”

If you really want Helian Yu to build the city wall, more than one million enemy troops will invade Nannuma Prefecture with their backs against the city wall, and Jiang Xi will not be able to stop it with two more legions.
