The wind rises for a thousand years

Don't come back.But now I didn't expect that not only did you come back, but you also came back in this capacity.But have you ever thought that the us you knew before is already different from us now. "

"Brother Ling, I know what you mean. Actually, you don't have to worry about me." Chu Changhuai looked at him with calm eyes: "I'm not stupid, I don't have that ability, so even if I hate me in my heart, I won't take revenge Yes." Chu Changhuai pointed to his chest: "I won't let this kind of hatred influence my behavior. Lesson, one meal is enough." To this day, the way Wanyanxi stands in front of him , the fear when the flood came, and the screams of the youths of the Yeyue clan before they died were still very clear.

Hearing this, Ling Ruifang looked at him for a while, but finally just patted Chu Changhuai's head and turned to leave.No matter how many years have passed and what the other party has become, this person is still his favorite child back then.

The next day, the army advanced as usual, even at a much faster marching speed.So within a day, they arrived at the entrance of Wolong Mountain.During the first half day of entering the plank road, they did not encounter any abnormalities.It was not until the sound of noon, when people were tired and horses were exhausted, that the ambush army suddenly appeared on the high ground next to the plank road.For a moment, huge rocks rolled down from a high place, followed by burning wooden piles.

"The formation remains the same, the shield soldiers are covering, and the archers are ready!" Ling Ruifang rode his horse at the front of the line and shouted: "Shoot!!"

Bows and arrows played a certain role, and the number of rocks and wooden piles decreased, but the army gradually dispersed.Seeing this, Ling Ruifang gritted his teeth, abandoned his horse and performed lightness kung fu and jumped towards the high ground beside him.Although there were several hardships and dangers on the way, he was almost hit by a boulder, but in the end he managed to climb to the high ground and slashed and killed.Seeing that the attack on one side weakened, Sun Nanxing, who was also in front of the formation, said loudly: "A team of people will immediately support the right general, and a team of people will follow me to attack the other side!" But as soon as he finished speaking, something was thrown from the high ground , a closer look, it turned out to be oil!As if to prove his conjecture, a fire dragon sprang out from the high ground in an instant!

The opponent actually has a psychic with fire attributes!Before he had time to think about it, Sun Nanxing waved it out.Everyone saw a dark blue thunder beast jumping towards the high ground, engulfing the fire dragon.After a loud noise, there was nothing but scorched black on the high ground.

"What are you doing in a daze?! Quickly attack the high ground!!"

With the general's roar, the soldiers' military sentiment suddenly rose.After a melee, there was no enemy.

After half a day, the army regrouped.But after the victory in the first battle, the army was heavy.Just because General Zuo used his spiritual power privately, he should be punished.At the beginning, some people complained about Sun Nanxing, saying that General Zuo had no choice but to save everyone, but they were blocked by Chu Changhuai's words.

"Have you ever thought that thunder, which belongs to wood and auxiliary fire, can also ignite diesel oil. And the sound of thunder is more likely to shatter rocks! In such a narrow space above the plank road, if everyone uses spiritual power, and your spiritual power Strength is also a different attribute. Let alone whether you can attack the enemy, are you not afraid of attacking your own people first?!" Standing in front of the troops, Chu Changhuai stared back those dissatisfied eyes without any timidity: "Manpower It cannot be easily controlled, let alone spiritual power. A general leads an army, not an individual. If the entire army is in unnecessary danger because of this palm, if everyone in the army is in danger because of a good result, Listen to the order so that you can stand out and be a hero, then there is no need to fight this battle!"

When Chu Changhuai said this, he held a military stick in one hand and put the other on his hips, with the momentum of "who dares to object and add another thirty sticks".In the end, Sun Nanxing took the thirty army sticks, and Chu Changhuai beat them himself.However, after finishing these thirty sticks, Chu Changhuai collapsed from exhaustion as soon as he returned the bill.

"Since you're so tired, why don't you let others do it for you?" Wanyanxi wiped his sweat with a cotton cloth.

"First, if I don't stand up, they will take my words as fart. Second, you ask them who can make a miserable appearance but have nothing wrong with them, and I will let him do it for them."

"Heh~, no wonder you told General Sun to wear an extra pair of trousers earlier. Is it easy for an acquaintance to operate or what?"

"Brother Ling is a non-spiritual person, so he won't make such a mistake. If someone else made a mistake, I don't have to spend so much thought on punishing it directly. Everyone's eyes are always on the two main generals on the left and right, so there are only two generals left. Sun Nanxing." Chu Changhuai sighed and sat up: "And I did it for his own good. King Yifeng is his senior brother, how many eyes are staring at him. It is necessary to express sympathy and loyalty as early as possible. But ..." Chu Changhuai pondered for a while, and said seriously: "I still underestimate him. Thunder, combined with the sharpness of metal, the violence of fire, the endlessness of water, the vitality and toughness of wood, and the strength of earth. It does not burn a single spark. This kind of person's talent is not in the pure spirituality, but in the combination of multiple attributes. The spiritual rank is not high, but the power is not small." Finally, he patted his chest and sighed: "Fortunately, I I have established a good relationship with Senior Xiang." To be able to teach such a person, what a master must be.

dead end

Once this incident was over, the attack on Qiongcang Pass went much smoother.After all, it was a checkpoint set up by myself, and I sent someone first, so it passed without bloodshed.

At the same time, chaos began within Fengguo.Conscription notices were everywhere, and some officers and soldiers even began to forcibly arrest people to join the army.The national treasury is empty, food and grass are delayed, and soldiers are not enough.There was chaos in the court, but no solution was discussed.It was heard from the front line that Qiongcang Pass was lost and a psychic general was lost. Xiao Fengnan almost fainted.

Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Xiao Fengyi frowned, stepped into the hall, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your brother, dare to beg the emperor to collect the money from the merchants to fill the food and grass!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.Everyone looked at Yifeng King who was kneeling in the hall.Facing everyone's eyes, the man said again: "As a businessman, you should put the country first. Now that the country is in trouble, you should give it your all. If your majesty does not want to subjugate the country, please order to purchase the assets of the merchants and use them for armaments." , my brother is willing to lead the army to fight against the enemy!"

After finishing speaking, the hall was silent for a while, and an old minister stepped forward and said, "My lord, have you ever thought that Fengguo relies on merchants. If this is the case, the hearts of merchants will be chilled, and the country will be unstable!"

"If the country is not here, how can we talk about stability?!" Xiao Fengyi glared at him, causing the old official to back away again and again.He turned his head to Xiao Fengnan who was on the high seat and said: "The foundation of a country is the people. For a long time, people's taxes have been heavy, and business taxes have not been strict. There are not a few merchants who seek the people's fat. Why doesn't the emperor investigate the leaks of business taxes? That's all. It is enough to make up for the shortage of the treasury!"

Business tax omissions, government and business collusion.No one has ever dared to mention it in the Fengguo court.It's not that there are no upright officials in Fengguo, it's just that the upright ones were engulfed by darkness long ago.And Fengguo's officialdom has been slowly emptied, and has become a prisoner of gold and silver interests.The apprentices taught by Xiang Yue can lead troops to fight and judge current affairs, but they can't govern the country and participate in politics, and they can't intrigue.Putting this up at this time is just because Xiao Fengyi understands in his heart that the person above the high position can't kill him at this time, and he just wants to fight.

Sure enough, Xiao Fengnan looked at Xiao Fengyi with a sullen face for a long time, and said: "You must go to lead the army to fight. Let's not mention the matter of collecting merchant money for now."

"If His Majesty does not issue an order to collect the merchant's money, I will forgive you for leading the army!"

"You!" Xiao Fengnan was so angry that he stood up directly, pointed at Xiao Fengyi and cursed: "Bastard, you want to resist the order?!"

"I dare not."

"Okay, okay, the decree is to accept the merchant's money. King Yifeng will go to war immediately!" Xiao Fengnan took a booklet and threw it on Xiao Fengyi's face: "Now, are you satisfied?"

After being hit hard, a red mark appeared on Xiao Fengyi's forehead.And he just knelt down expressionlessly and said: "Master, thank you Lord Long En."

After passing the Qiongcang Pass, all you can see is a plain.In the open land, in autumn and winter, there is only desolation left.

"If we talk about war, it is only at this time that the food and grass are the most abundant. The vegetation is barren and the vision is unobstructed. It is the best time to attack the city." Chu Changhuai said a little jokingly at the place where the Kaiyuan Kingdom's iron cavalry was stationed: "It's just that the Feng Kingdom Business is the main focus, farming is not active, and such a large piece of fertile land was wasted. So if they want food and grass, they must import it from Fengzhou. To buy it, they need money. Unfortunately, the treasury is empty, and the only way is to collect commercial silver. "

"But Emperor Fengguo probably won't agree." Wanyanxi next to him said.

"He really won't agree, but with Xiao Fengyi here, he can't help but disagree. If he really collects enough commercial silver, Cangzhou is backed by Nanhong Ximo, and he can buy as many mercenaries, food, grass and horses as possible. If it is true , this battle will be difficult to fight." Chu Changhuai touched his chin, and said meaningfully: "Unfortunately, before this war started, someone first predicted this, and secretly transferred most of the merchants in Fengguo in advance. They go to collect commercial money, and they can't collect much. But there are exceptions to everything, and this battle must be resolved quickly."

"Since it is always going to be annexed, why not do it when Fengguo was first established?"

"You don't understand this, do you?" Chu Changhuai blinked: "The location of Cangzhou is suitable for business, but it is too far away from the royal city of the original country, so it is not easy to develop. Let others fatten up this land first. It’s not right to eat directly. That’s what it means to make wedding dresses for others.”

"It actually contains so many things, it seems that the high-level leaders of Kaiyuan Kingdom should not be underestimated." Wanyanxi sighed.

Chu Changhuai shrugged and didn't answer. From the very beginning, he knew that the person who laid the net was not easy.One day he will meet that person.
