king array

Chapter 119

Yizhou is a good place, rich in natural resources, easy to defend but difficult to attack, Shu road is difficult and famous all over the world.If it weren't for this, Ling Xun would not have traveled from Jingzhou to Yizhou to settle down when he was wanted by the court.Several dynasties have changed in history, the Central Plains has been almost sieved, and the land of Yizhou has not been affected by the war.

"Yizhou has high mountains as barriers, and the terrain is steep. Now the counties and counties are scattered and independent by the formation masters, and they are connected with each other. The personnel relationship is complicated, and it affects the whole body. It is difficult to completely bring it back to the court. , It is bound to consume a lot of manpower and financial resources. This is why the court has always turned a blind eye to Yizhou." Ling Xun said this, and those smart people immediately understood what he meant.

Ling Xun continued: "However, now that Qin Fei is making trouble, no matter who his supporters are, he will put together the scattered sand, and there is no need for us to go in and wade into the muddy water. They rebelled first, We are famous teachers, as long as we attack Jianmen Pass in one fell swoop this time and kill Qin Fei, we can justifiably collect Yizhou's household registration tax revenue, and never have future troubles!"

"Yes, General Ling's words are justified!" As soon as Ling Xun finished speaking, someone echoed.

"If General Ling hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have figured it out."

"In this way, the governor of Guanghan County has made a great contribution to the court!"

Ling Xun thought of Mr. Fuyao again, and thought that he had done a great service to them. In the future when the two armies clash, he must find an opportunity to thank them in person!He automatically ignored the flattery and flattery of the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, bowed his knees, and said to the emperor with a straight face: "I request your majesty to attack Yizhou, and I am willing to lead the army myself. I will definitely die and live up to your majesty's great trust!"

Now that Ling Xun is in control of the military power, he has always sent troops to ask for orders, but it is just a formality, not to mention the underage emperor, even if he is a hundred officials in the court, no one will find him so ignorant of current affairs.

However, this time, the little emperor who was sitting at the top was a little hesitant. He folded his hands hidden under his wide sleeves and wrung them together for a long time. He seemed to have made a lot of determination, and then asked in a low voice, "General Ling, how can this be done?" , I'm afraid the Greedy Wolf Army will take the opportunity to go south..."

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty have long been accustomed to sitting on a dragon chair with a non-speaking porcelain doll, who would have thought that the porcelain doll would one day speak, and when she opened her mouth, she would question the hot and important minister.Even a military officer stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. General Yiling's formation skills are superb. The barrier of the protective formation on the south bank of the Yangtze River has always been impenetrable. How can it be so easily broken?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, besides, Tanlang just fought with me in Daxia, and retreated all the way. He has already mobilized his vitality, and he has no ability to go south in a short time."

The emperor's question was originally aimed at Ling Xun, but before Ling Xun could reply, all the ministers had already refuted it back, the little emperor blushed and could only stammer: "Yes, yes I think too much..."

Ling Xun stood under the main hall, looking at the young emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair as if on pins and needles, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood behind him, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then respectfully replied: "Your Majesty Don't worry, I have written a letter to contact General Yuan, and I will send troops again after he withdraws his troops and returns to the south of the Yangtze River."

On this day when the court retreated, Ling Xun walked out of the court hall. The noon sun hung high on the top, no shadows of people could be reflected, as if everything in the world was baked under the blue sky and white sun to reveal its original appearance.

Ling Xun stood at the entrance of the main hall and looked back, thinking of the scene at the meeting just now, he suddenly felt hesitant.

Now he is to Great Xia like a city wall that protects the people, but who knows whether in the eyes of others, he is also a power minister with evil intentions like Qin Chao and Wei Zhao?

He also thought of the Taizu at the beginning of the Great Xia who had exterminated the most powerful formation masters. He thought of his father being jealous of the Ling Emperor and causing his family to die tragically. But once the wings are full one day, will he not be able to accommodate him at that time?Is he going to follow Qin Wei's example and set up eyeliners to monitor the emperor's words and deeds, and even kill the king and usurp the throne one day?So what is the difference between him and the two who framed his father?

It wasn't until this time that Ling Xun truly understood the deep meaning of Mu Jiu's warning that day. He said that if he brought the little emperor back, he would definitely be a hot potato in the future.Although he didn't want to admit it, he did plant a dilemma for himself.

It can be seen that power is really not a good thing. If you don't dig out the heart and blacken it, I'm afraid it won't last long in your hand, and it will eventually catch fire.

At this moment, Ling Xun seemed to suddenly understand Mu Jiu's calculation of "either you die or I die".

In a high position, with a sword hanging above, if you are not careful, you will die without a place to die.

This day's small turmoil in the court hall stirred up slight ripples in Ling Xun's heart, but the ripples didn't have time to ripple for long before they were disrupted by the intense battle that followed.

After Yuan Xi got the news of Ling Xun, he withdrew back to the south of the Yangtze River to provide protection for Ling Xun's rear. Once the corrupt wolves came south to commit crimes, Yuan Xi could send his army north to attack the corrupt wolves' lair.This allowed Ling Xun to concentrate more on the Yizhou war.

But no one expected that after three months of fighting, the Ling family army under the command of Ling Xun pushed the Yizhou army into Jiannan Pass. It was a big move, but unexpectedly at a critical moment, two of Qin Fei's generals came to surrender, promising to be an internal response, and let Ling Xun go to Shu.

At this juncture, even with the face of a Bodhisattva who can save all living beings, Ling Xun can still smell the smell of conspiracy and tricks, not to mention that the two generals from Yizhou look fierce and have nothing to do with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"The two generals are not low in Yizhou, why did they betray Qin Fei?" Ling Xun summoned them at night and interrogated them himself.

One of them, Zhao Chen, immediately said angrily: "General Chen Ming and I have followed Qin Fei for more than ten years. People from Fuyao came to Yizhou and helped to make plans and won several victories, Qin Fei followed his advice, how could he care about his brothers from the past?"

The other named Chen Ming's eyes were tearing apart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Fei, you beast! Last night when I was having a banquet at my house, he actually gave my 12-year-old daughter to... to... ..." Without further words, Chen Ming grabbed the ground with his head, and smashed the ground with his big fists.

Ling Xun watched coldly, let them express their dissatisfaction with Qin Fei, and then naturally accepted the surrender of the two, and agreed to open the gate of Jiannan Pass at night three days later, and let Ling Xun's army enter.

"General, are these two trustworthy?" After Zhao and Chen left, Liu Shuo asked, doubts written all over his face.

Ling Xun was thinking in his heart, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Regardless of whether they are credible or not, these two people can be used."

As he was speaking, two black shadows flashed in from outside the military tent. Liu Shuo was startled and almost drew his sword to stab them, but he quickly realized that these were the two brothers surnamed Fang beside Ling Xun. He had already seen them before. The two people's lightness skills are almost treacherous, but after such a long time, they still can't get used to it.

Fang Jue bowed to Ling Xun after entering the camp, and then reported the information he had found in a concise and concise manner: "Chen Ming and Zhao Chen have long held grudges against Qin Fei, especially Chen Ming, who was originally from the left army. When Mr. Fuyao appeared, he replaced his position, and he has been squeezed out many times since then. Last night, Chen Ming hosted a banquet at home and invited Qin Fei to the banquet, hoping to ease the relationship between the two with the old friendship. Entered the Chen family's back house by mistake and raped Chen Ming's youngest daughter."

Ling Xun nodded, these are all right.

"Master Feng, this is the defense map of the guard post in Jiannan Pass. It's only on the outside, and the inside is closer to the main army's tent. Because of the formation barrier, Fang Jue and I didn't dare to go there, for fear of scaring the snake." Fang Jue said , and took out a sketched drawing from his arms and handed it to Ling Xun.

"The two of you have done a good job." Ling Xun took the topographic map, glanced at the small triangle representing the military tent that Fang Ke twisted and twisted on it, and suddenly asked: "That man named Fuyao, where is the military tent located?" What direction?"

"I don't know the exact location, but considering Mr. Fuyao's current position in the Yizhou Army, it should be near the main tent. If you want to get to the main tent, it is most convenient to go from the west camp." Fang Ke roughly drew on the map He set a range for Ling Xun.

Seeing Ling Xun's actions, Liu Shuo couldn't bear to ask, "Young General, are we really going to enter Jiannan Pass in three days? Are you afraid this is a trap designed by Qin Fei?"

"I don't want the child to be caught by the wolf. Jiannan Pass is known as the most dangerous pass in the history. If we want to attack by force, I'm afraid tens of thousands of people are not enough to explain it here. Since the other party makes a move, why don't we just go ahead and see the move? "Ling Xun said, squinting those peach blossom eyes, and regained the face of the former profiteer, "But, we enter the customs and return to the customs, but we can't listen to them all."

Three days later, Ling Xun arrived at Jiannan Pass with [-] vanguard troops as promised. As expected, the protective barrier outside the pass had been replaced. The night watchmen saw the Ling family’s army marching far away, but they never issued a notification. Obviously, it has been bought by Zhao and Chen.

"Is General Ling under the city?" Seeing Ling Xun's men and horses approaching, the soldier asked in a low voice.

Ling Xun, who was riding on a high horse, did not answer, but ordered someone to wave the flag of Ling's army. Liu Shuo also stepped forward at the same time. The whole person was exposed to the flames, which made the soldier see his face clearly.

The two armies fought back and forth, and Liu Shuo's face was almost recognized by everyone. The soldier saw him, no doubt that he was there, and immediately ran down the tower to open the city gate, let Ling Xun and others come in, and urged in a low voice: "My general We are waiting for you at Changshou Slope ahead..." However, before he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck, and it turned out that there was something cold on his neck.

"Don't be in a hurry to see your general, you can lead us to the western barracks."

Xiao Bing was too frightened to move, but felt that the speaker's voice was really nice. He glanced away from the corner of his vision, but saw that the person holding him was just dressed as an ordinary soldier, but he had a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be able to talk. Absent.

The author has something to say: Fanwai (about the first meeting)

When the man in blue cloth came in, General Zhennan had just practiced his sword skills, and his white underwear was already wet with sweat.

"Mr. Mu, you are finally back." General Zhennan smiled at the man, took the handkerchief from the guard to wipe his sweat, but his eyes fell on the child who followed the man. "Who is this……"

Mu Yin hurriedly said: "Return to the general, this is the dog."

General Zhennan raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "I've never heard that Mr. Mu has married a wife. It turns out that a person like Mr. will marry a wife!"

Mu Yin shook his head and smiled wryly, "The first wife in my hometown is just a little out of her mind, and never dared to bring it out. Now that his wife has passed away, and the child has no one to take care of him at home, he brought the general's house to bother him, and I hope the general will forgive him."

General Zhennan waved his hand, "What's the matter, I think your son is very good, why don't you play with my newborn fat boy in the future." The newborn son turned his dark face into a flower with a smile, hurriedly called the maidservant over, and asked someone to take Mu Yin's son to the backyard to find his wife and see the infant son.

When Mu Jiu stepped into the small courtyard, he didn't know how his fate would change. Although he was only six years old, he was used to hiding his emotions. He just followed obediently without making a sound, and the drooping eyelashes covered the gloom in his eyes that didn't match his age.

There was a faint fragrance in the air. When the last door was opened, the first thing Mu Jiu saw was the towering jujube tree. Under the tree, a woman was lying on a long couch, with a small ball of swaddling baby in her arms. .

Mu Jiu's heart suddenly beat uncontrollably, at a speed that almost suffocated him.

He felt something changed in his body. With every step he got closer to the swaddle, his collarbone seemed to be burned by a branding iron. thing.

—the thing that made his blood almost boil.

As if an extremely thirsty person finally saw the cool water, Mu Jiu felt an instinct in his body that almost burst his blood vessels and shattered his muscles and bones.He almost couldn't wait to run to the swaddle, and saw the white and tender little person inside, so small, as if it was only the size of a palm, sleeping lazily in his mother's arms.

Mu Jiu stared at the tender little dumpling intently, and tried his best to control his trembling hands. In the sweet fragrance of jujube flowers, he seemed to feel that the dumpling in the swaddling baby also exuded a sweet smell, and an incredible thought in his heart was going crazy Crowd: I want...want to eat him...

It was on this day that the power of the five elements, which was still elusive despite the torture, finally awakened in his body.
