Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 287 Prince Governance (2 in 1 Chapter!)

Chapter 287 Prince Governance (two chapters in one!)

Following Zheng Guo's response, the nearly [-] Wei Guo army led by Wei Guo Da Sima Wu Shou also came in mighty force.

Seen from a high altitude, wearing red uniforms, covered with iron armor and imperial guards, riding a tall horse, holding a red flag, on the entire flat official road, like red flames, they are coming towards Li County layer by layer.

The messengers carrying the order flags rode maroon horses, galloped back and forth, uploaded and issued orders, and set off the grass and dirt beside the road.

Weiguo belongs to the virtue of fire, so red is used in the color of clothing.

"Da Sima, Duan County is just ahead." At this time, the former Li County Sheriff beside a chariot said to Wu Shou who was looking at the railing on the chariot.

In the war situation of this era, although the cavalry has been widely used, the chariot soldiers have not completely withdrawn from the stage of history. On the contrary, because of the decline of the art of refining treasures in the immortal way, it has affected the car-making process.

Therefore, the country of the overlord still has the reputation of the country of ten thousand chariots and the country of a thousand chariots.

Wu Shou said in a deep voice: "Duan County, that's where the Soviet Army's forward is located."

Hua Liang's face was solemn, and he introduced in a deep voice: "The Soviet army stationed [-] troops in Duan County, and the leader of the army will be Cai Kuang. This person was originally in command of the Imperial Army of the Soviet Union, and he is a general who will fight, so there is nothing to worry about. However, Previously, Shentu Fan sent people to plunder food and fodder, and drove the people of our country to strengthen and increase the height of Duan County, if they can't hold on, it will not be easy for our army to break through the city."

Wu Shou said with emotion: "The commander-in-chief has led [-] fine cavalry to cruise around the side of Duan County. Afterwards, we will attack Duan County with a large army. Unfortunately, the commander of the enemy country uses troops very aggressively."

Now Wu Shou also finds it very difficult for the Soviet army to be unable to retreat, and he sighs in his heart, "If it wasn't for the constant internal strife in Diqiu some time ago, which caused the military plan to be delayed, otherwise why did Shentu Fan search for food and fodder and gain a firm foothold calmly."

It has to be said that the change of the old and new monarchs of the Wei State actually freed up time for the Su State to adjust the deployment, search for supplies, and strengthen the defense line.

The military strategists in the cold weapon era have long been deeply aware of the importance of logistics and supplies, and try their best to fight against the enemy with food.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Combat Chapter" once said: "Those who make good use of soldiers are not in service, and their food is not for three years. They are used for the country. Because the food is used by the enemy, the army can have enough food."

At the same time, in Lijun City at this moment, Su Zhao also immediately received the military situation of Duan County, the outpost of the army of the defending country arriving at the Soviet defense line.

On a screen with a map of mountains and rivers hanging on it, Su Zhao and several generals looked at the red and blue maps on the map and discussed countermeasures.

On the map, the defensive circle of the Soviet Army, with Li County as the base point, extends forward to three counties, with Duan County, Suihua, and Sinan counties as the corners.

"Shen Tuqing, Cai Kuang is in Duan County. Eight thousand soldiers can stop Wu Shou's [-] troops. Is it insufficient?" Su Zhao asked.

Judging from the situation of Cai Kuang's tenure in Linyang County some time ago, it can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. Cai Kuang is more like a fighting general, not a general like Feng Kuang who is on the horse to manage the army and who is off the horse to manage the people.

However, in front of other generals, he could only be tactful.

Shentu Fan naturally understood Su Zhao's implication, and said: "Cai Junwei is cautious, and the chief secretary, Cen Xiu, is the deputy general. He is resourceful and decisive. It should be fine for him to accompany the army as a counselor."

Su Zhao nodded, feeling relieved for now.

He had heard of Cen Xiu, and Feng Kuang had recommended him in the past, saying that he was resourceful and good at military strategy.

At that time, he still wanted to meet up and have a chat.

Shentu Fan said: "Your Majesty, Wu Shou is coming very aggressively. If Wu Shou is not allowed to face off with our army in Duan County for a period of time, and hastily lead troops to a decisive battle with him, he will hesitate to move forward. If he wants to gather and annihilate them, he must It's much more difficult. Now our army is on the defensive, temporarily holding Wu Shou in Duan County, and then we will fight him decisively."

Apparently the veteran saw Su Zhao's eagerness to defeat the enemy, so he spoke in relief.

Su Zhaodao: "Victory or defeat is not a matter of a day, so I am so alone."

There is still a word whispered in my heart, "Yes, at least not to surprise the people of the world."

Although he has demon soldiers as his backing, but if he uses them to defeat the guards with too much fanfare, the leader of Xuanzong, the Sanzhen Dajiao, will inevitably be suspicious and question him.

This is actually a matter of the difference between human beings and monsters, and the concept of racial dichotomy, because the immortal forces of Tianyuan Kyushu have long been confronted by the righteous and the demons. It can't even form a party.

It can be said that the entire Tianyuan Kyushu is the base camp of the human race.

If Su State suddenly got a large number of demon soldiers to intervene in the struggle for humanity, and defeated Wei State like the autumn wind swept away fallen leaves, what would the Three True Masters think of this scene?

This is the same as when one side suddenly uses biological and chemical weapons on a conventional battlefield in later generations, it will definitely cause an uproar all over the world.

Su Zhao's power is not yet strong and his wings are flimsy, so he won't gamble with the attitude of the Sanzhen Great Sect, so he has always been cautious in using the demon soldiers.

"Your Majesty, you need to pay attention to Yangping Pass. Zheng Guo will come here with troops at this moment, and he will not be without any support." Shentu Fan reminded.

Su Zhao nodded and said, "If the layout is done properly, Gu will go to Yangping Pass."

Although Yangping Pass is guarded by the kind Yang Fu, who knows what tricks Zheng Guohui will use.

As a matter of fact, Cao Pian, who was already the commander-in-chief of the Zheng State camp in the south of Yangping Pass, was in a school yard, looking at the fairy boats with surprise.

On the side, a handsome young man with a fair complexion, dressed in fine embroidered clothes, smiled and groaned.

Hanging around his waist was a sword inlaid with pearls and a sharkskin sheath, with an indescribable aura.

From time to time, he would talk to a few old men with white hair and bright heads in the plain silver robes of the Haoyang School. This person was none other than Zheng Jun's son——Gong Zizhi.

Zheng Jun has been in power for many years, and he can be called the overlord among the monarchs of Yuzhou.

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has not only worked hard to expand the territory, but also the country has been thriving.In terms of reproduction, it is also... thriving.

His fertility is comparable to his ability to be a king, and he has twelve sons and nine daughters under his knees.

Because of the rich spring and autumn, the position of the crown prince has not been determined for many years. All the sons have grown up, each with talent, and the girls are also competing for beauty when they are old.

The fourth son, Gongzi Sheng, is the most talented in commanding the army. He leads the army in the south of Zheng State and has been competing with Chu State for a long time.

And Gong Zizhi ranked tenth. He was 24 years old. He was good at reading and knew etiquette.

He is also a popular candidate for Zheng Guo to inherit the throne, but he has never had a deep foundation in the army. At the moment when the military governor came, he still begged his mother and concubine Zhuang Concubine to blow the pillow wind to Zheng Jun, so that he had to be the military commander.

Of course, it's hard to say whether Zheng Jun was trying to balance the power of the growing son Sheng.

Cao Pian looked at the radiant fairy boats, his quiet eyes sparkled with splendor, and he said happily: "Can this mere wooden boat really carry troops in batches and fly across the city pass?"

If these gray-haired old men in front of him had not been recommended by Haoyangzong, Princess Zhaoyang's teacher, he could hardly believe that there is such a mysterious magic technique in the world that can transport troops from the air.

"General Cao, there is no need to be surprised. This is the Tengyun Xianzhou built by us under the order of the head teacher, gathering the power of a group of elders, choosing spiritual materials and hooking talismans, but partly ignores the impact of human luck on the art through the army's evil spirit. Disturbance, only this one fairy boat can carry five hundred soldiers, and we will bring a total of six on this trip, when the time comes, three thousand soldiers will descend from the sky and plan to seize the pass city in one fell swoop. Twirling the white beard under his jaw with his hand, he said with a smile, and there was an imperceptible arrogance in his tone.

At the beginning, Li Heyuan, the head teacher of the Haoyang Sect, had promised Su Zhao that when there was a conflict between Su and Zheng, he would not send someone above the gods to intervene.

In the beginning, the Haoyang sect didn't send a god, let alone a god, even Jindan Daoist didn't send one.

However, with Su State attacking Zheng State's one-and-a-half-county territory, the trend of rising has become apparent, coupled with the changing times.

Although the Dao Deed is still binding, and the Haoyang School cannot send Master Shenzhao to intervene directly, they still found other ways to circumvent the restrictions of the Dao Deed.

However, the current Li Heyuan did not support Zheng Guo in a big way, but first sent some sect forces, and at the same time, he came to test the reaction of humanity and luck, and secondly, he also wanted to negotiate terms with Zheng Guo.

Yes, at this moment, the Haoyang School has begun to seek the status of state religion in Zheng State, but some details have not been discussed yet. Zheng Jun is the lord of a country, and this person bears almost one-third of Yuzhou's human destiny. What a temperament Domineering and strong?How can the people of Xianzong be allowed to be domineering?

It can be said that he rebelled from the bottom of his heart against many requirements of the Haoyang School's head teacher.

The cooperation between the two parties is currently only at the superficial level.

Cao Pian took a deep breath, looked aggressively, and said: "If there is this thing, destroy the Soviet army, regain the lost ground, and turn the palm of your hand!"

However, the old man poured cold water on his face and said with embarrassment: "The fairy boat is driven by fairy crystals, and several elders jointly draw the runes. This battle can only be used. The follow-up battle between the two countries will have to be done." Rely on General Cao to advance with troops."

Cao Pian was silent for a moment when he heard the words, although he felt a little strange, he still said: "It is a great fortune to have this fairy boat and be able to use it once, how dare Cao ask for anything else."

The white-haired old man smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

This is of course the Zongmen's confession before leaving. It is true that this fairy boat is only used once. The power of human luck to repel the immortal way has always been there, but the problem is that you can still go back to the Zongmen to re-bless the runes.

"It's just something that is too easy, how can Zheng Guo cherish it?" The white-haired old man sneered in his heart.

Recently, the unpleasant matter discussed by the Zongmen's head teacher and Zheng Jun has been circulated in a small area within the Zongmen.

"I waited for the immortal to ask about longevity, and what I was looking for was a clear idea. For you, the minister of Zheng Guo, what's the matter? And that Zheng Jun, since he heard that the human dragon energy can live forever and see for a long time, he has become more and more dissatisfied. Put me, Hao Yangzong, in your eyes."

On the other side, seeing that the two had agreed on military affairs, Young Master Zhi had a gentle smile on his handsome face, and said, "General Cao, with this sharp weapon, our army can recover the lost land with certainty."

This person has a handsome face, inherited the temperament of Concubine Zhuang, and treats others like a spring breeze.

Cao Pian looked in the direction of Yangping Pass, his face was serious, and he said, "Young master, it's not that simple. Recently, the general has been thinking about the defeat of Yingyin that day, and the [-] returnees were all flooded. Now that I think about it, it must be There is also the intervention of immortal forces behind the Su Kingdom, Pang Gong also said before his death that this was not done by human beings, and it was not a crime of war!"

When mentioning Pang Guan, Cao Pian's tone was a bit low, and Shen Yi's brows showed a bit of mourning.

After Pang Guan retreated to Ningping County City, he was out of breath, his old injuries relapsed, and he was dying not long after. He held Cao Pian's hand in front of the couch, shouted three times to kill Su, and died suddenly.

At that time, the generals were mourning, and there were soldiers who had been favored by him, and the crying spread throughout the entire Ningping County.

After Zheng Gong knew that Pang Guan had passed away, he stopped court for three days, bestowed the posthumous title of Wujing, and ordered Yousi to build the Martyr's Shrine to enjoy the ancestral temple.

At this moment, the smile on Gong Zizhi's face also disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "General Cao is right, with Pang Gong's ability, if he hadn't joined them with the power of immortality, how could Yingyin be defeated."

Cao Pian nodded, and said: "This time, the last general will be ashamed to use the Soviet army to sacrifice the spirit of Duke Pang!"

At this time, Gong Zizhi was about to say something, when suddenly a guard rushed over and whispered something in his ear.

"Nonsense! It's an important matter for the military and the country, how can you allow her wife to come here!" Young Master Zhi frowned and said angrily.

But she is the wife of Gong Zizhi.

Gongzizhi's wife, Zhuang Shi, named Shining, is the niece of Concubine Zhuang and also the wife of Gongzizhi. The young couple have been married for three years.

Young Master Zhi followed the army outside, Zhuang didn't know what to worry about, so he came with a sewn autumn clothes.

Seeing this, Cao Pian was puzzled and asked, "My lord?"

Young Master Zhi said with a bitter face: "The wife at home is worried, so she brought her servants to the army and said she would send some autumn clothes."

When Cao Pian heard the words, he smiled and said, "Young Master, Madam came all the way here with good intentions after all. By the way, the weather is indeed cold, one autumn rain and one cold."

Hearing what Cao Pian said, Young Master Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was worried that Cao Pian would have some opinions on him.

Before he came, he consulted a few people who were knowledgeable about military matters, and he knew that the most taboo thing for a general in the army is to bring his female relatives.

Young Master Zhi turned and walked towards his own tent. It has to be said that the tent that this Young Master Zheng lived in was second only to the coach Cao Pian. It was bright inside and a woolen blanket was spread on the floor.

Picking up the curtain and entering the tent, one can see a young woman with a green bun, peach cheeks and apricot eyes, and a demure demeanor.

The young woman is wearing a black fox fur cloak and a light red smoked skirt inside. She is of medium height, with shaved shoulders and a plain waist.

Not far away, there was a burst of laughter, with a bit of clarity and cheerfulness, and said: "Siblings and sisters, let me just tell you, the tenth brother will definitely come over as soon as he hears that you are coming."

"Fifth Sister, why are you here?" Young Master Zhi was startled, and looked up at his sister who was sitting drinking tea not far away - Princess Zheng Guoyongqing.

"Yo, I just found out about your sister and me." Princess Zheng Guoyongqing snorted softly, rubbed Koudan's hand, and tapped Gongzi Zhi.

This woman is dressed in a man's warrior costume, dressed as a bodyguard, but she has red lips and white teeth, which is as gorgeous as a flower, and she can't hide her light and familiar charm in her gestures.

Young Master Zhi smiled wryly and said: "Fifth Sister, there are no eyes for swords and guns ahead, how can you come here, brother-in-law is not worried at home?"

"Don't mention that sick ghost in front of me." Princess Yongqing said softly,

The wry smile on Gong Zizhi's face was even stronger. His elder sister had an unfortunate marriage. She was also a talented woman who was able to write poems and was well-known in Xinzheng, but she became unhappy because of a political marriage.

Princess Yongqing smiled and said: "How is it on the front line recently? Gold and iron horses, can you write poems?"

Young Master Zhi shook his head, and said: "The soldiers are fighting with awe-inspiring murderous aura, how can there be any poetry, Shi Ning, do you have any poems?"

On the other side, Zhuang Shining looked at the siblings chatting and laughing sweetly, this girl is not that beautiful, there is even a beauty mole on the corner of her mouth, a jasper hairpin is inserted between her temples, she has a gentle temperament, Xiaojiabiyu.

It is often said that this woman is very similar to Zhuang Concubine Zhuang Mingyue, who has a good personality and a good personality.

Gong Zizhi's concubine Zhuang Mingyue was a female official who served pen and ink, and was favored by Zheng Jun, so she became the concubine of a country.

Zhuang Shining shook her head lightly, and said softly: "From what I've seen along the way, Mrs. Ding is driven by tigers and wolves to serve military affairs, and my concubine doesn't have much poetic interest."

Gong Zizhi sighed, and seemed to feel the same way.

"Okay, let's not delay your young couple's lovesickness." Princess Yongqing showed a look of envy, smiled, turned and walked outside the military tent.
