This set of things and the armor on his body have been passed down in their family for several generations, and they are the treasures that their family relies on for survival. Whenever war comes, he will pick up this set of tools and follow the general to the battlefield to kill the enemy. In his more than 20 years, he had countless fights with others. He even went to the battlefield to fight with the Qiang people. He had been there at least three times. He had rich combat experience.
Although the speed of the opponent's spear struck him by surprise, his body reacted instinctively after a long struggle. Just watch his left arm suddenly swing to the right, which is his usual action, using the shield on his left arm to deflect the opponent's attacking weapon. If the opponent was cutting, he would lift it diagonally upward. If the opponent stabbed him, he would block it to the right. If it were in the past, after he made this action, he would step forward and stab the opponent with a short spear in his right hand.
But today, the opponent’s spear is too long.
"What a strong force!" In the blink of an eye, the round shield on his left arm had hit the opponent's spear tip from the side, and before the opponent stabbed him, he knocked the opponent's spear into the air. The spear missed. But before he could instinctively make the next move, a sharp pain came from his left rib. Immediately afterwards, he felt a huge cold spear inserted into his ribs like lightning, and then like lightning. quit.
He subconsciously looked at the injured part, and saw that a big hole had already appeared there, and his own blood and some broken internal organs continued to flow out of the horrible blood hole. He opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something angrily, but the spear that had been deflected earlier retracted first, and then advanced. This time, he did not resist, and he just watched helplessly as the opponent's spear penetrated him. The leather armor on his abdomen was pierced into his own belly, and then it retreated out of his belly with a pile of flesh and blood. His seemingly endless strength seemed to be drained of energy in an instant, and his consciousness began to blur. His legs weakened and he fell to the ground. His eyes were open aimlessly, and his mouth was trying hard to say something, but with his efforts, blood just kept spilling out of his mouth, and his body limbs twitched from time to time. Finally, he tilted his head and reluctantly said goodbye to the world he had lived in for more than twenty years.
Huo Yan did not look at the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides behind him. He stared at Gongsun Shu intently. Gongsun Shu under the banner did not move, but a young man on the other side saw him coming, immediately got on his horse, held a long spear in his hand, and rushed towards him.
Huo Yan did not know that this young man was Zhou Xing. He controlled the horse with one hand and held his spear tightly with the other, charging towards the opponent.
No fear at all. Years of experience made him instinctively excited at this time. Only when excited can he react faster and move faster.
He is a veteran. He has knocked down his opponents countless times on the battlefield.
Hedge immediately, just like a flash of lightning. The competition is courage, reaction speed and timing of action.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
Ten meters.
His eyes narrowed, and he watched the other party's movements with concentration.
Just as the opponent was about to raise his hand, he almost simultaneously raised his right hand holding the spear.
"Kill!" He shouted violently, leaned forward, and stabbed forward with all his strength. At this moment, he noticed that the other party's expression was still that casual.
"Bang!" His spear had just stabbed halfway when an unpredictable force came from the barrel of his spear. The force was so great that before he could react, the spear in his hand had already gone away, and his right hand and arm were numb.
He passed by the opponent in astonishment, and subconsciously continued to draw his long sword. At this moment, the other party's gun barrel hit him hard on the back.
At this moment, the other person rolled off the horse and fell heavily to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth at the same time.
Although he was hit so hard and fell to pieces, he still tried hard to get up and continue fighting. Just as he struggled to get up, there was a sound of horse hooves, and the deadly spear tip came to him in an instant.
"Are you going to die like this?" Such a sentence suddenly appeared in Huo Yan's mind.
"...A total of 236 people were beheaded and 357 prisoners captured in this battle. After this battle, the bandits who went south to Guanghan to invade Deyang had to huddle in Guanghan City... ”
cd, in the Yizhou Governor’s Mansion, Jordan was reading the report from Deyang with excitement.
"Master Shijun, what a great victory, what a great victory!"
"Humph, we only beheaded more than two hundred people." Lu Qiang, who was not tall, said sourly, " The number of refugees is in the tens of thousands, so this small gain does not damage their roots."
"Lu Zheng's remarks were wrong." Jordan immediately retorted: "Gaoting Hou also said in the letter that although the refugees are brave, But there is no production, just like duckweeds without roots. As long as they are left without food and can't fight, the refugees will naturally perish after eating the remaining food."
In his letter, Zhou Xing praised Luo Shang's construction along the river. The Chang Wai issue surprised Jordan and made Luo Shang very happy.
Luoshang was originally just a passive defense to prevent refugees from crossing the river. But in Zhou Xing's letter, he described his move as the best way to surround and kill the refugees. Now that Zhou Xing has occupied Deyang, as long as he holds the front line of Deyang and has every village build fortifications to protect themselves, this achievement will be effective within half a year.
"It is said that this son relied on his own merits in killing Shen Xiu to become domineering and unparalleled. But I didn't expect that he turned out to be such a wonderful person." Luo Shang thought as he read the contents of the letter.
Successive defeats against the refugees put Luo Shang under great pressure. Although news from the court said that King Qi Huangfu still trusted him and supported him, he also knew that he could never be defeated again.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel glad that he was thereWhen he learned that Zhou Xing was training troops privately, he did not immediately send someone to stop him. With such a modest victory and the strategies described in Zhou Xing's letters, the situation turned out to be great.
I guard the CD front line, Zhou Xing guards the Deyang front line, and Yabo guards the Jiange Jiameng front line. As long as these three lines are strong, the refugees will only be within the two counties of Zitong Xindu. As Zhou Xing said, as long as the villages in Jiangdong build fortifications to protect themselves so that the refugees have nothing to plunder, one day the refugees will run out of food. At that time, this group of thieves may cause chaos within themselves.
Gu Tao
As soon as he thought of this, Luo Shang decided to acquiesce that this was the plan he had built along the river.
"The Bodaoting Marquis attacked Deyang this time to carry out my secret order." Since Zhou Xingyan implicitly and implicitly wanted to give this credit to himself, Luo Shang accepted it without ceremony. , "Originally I was worried that this son would not be able to shoulder such a big responsibility, but I didn't expect that he would achieve such a great victory. Since this son has made such great contributions, it is the court's custom to reward him for his merits. Here, I solemnly announce that I will appoint you. Daotinghou Zhouxing, the captain of Jiangyang County, can have less than a thousand subordinates..."
Two days later, the capital of the Jin Dynasty was Shangluo, in the palace of Prince Qi.
Qi Wang Huangfu, who was in charge of the government alone, sat on the main seat. Sitting on both sides were Sikong Donghai Wang Huangfu Yue, Taiwei Wang Yan, Shangshu Ling Ge Tai, Shizhong Dong Ai and others.
"My lord, what do you think of Luo Shang's strategy?" Although Huangfu Yan is a senior commander, he still maintains a respectful attitude towards Wang Yan, a senior lieutenant whose reputation is not as good as before. present.
Since the Yizhou refugee rebellion, Qi Wang Huangfu has been under tremendous pressure for just a short time after taking the auxiliary position. After successive defeats, Zitong fell, Xindu fell, and Guanghan fell. Looking at the territories marked in red on the map of Yizhou and Liangzhou in the "Yugong Territory Map", Huangfu Yan felt extremely anxious.
Luo Shang was appointed by himself and shouldered the important task of reforming Lingtian. After the successive defeats, there were endless calls from inside and outside the court to replace the governor of Yizhou, but Qi Wang Huangfujun temporarily suppressed these voices.
Compared with these voices, he cared more about the opinions of General Huangfu Ying who was in charge of Yecheng and Situ Huangfu Yong who was in charge of Chang'an.
Huangfu Ying has not spoken out on this matter yet, but Huangfu Yong has proposed to appoint his general Ya Bo to replace Liangzhou Governor hd Shang as the new Liangzhou Governor.
He was unwilling to agree to Huangfu Yong's proposal from the bottom of his heart. He even wanted to replace Huangfu Yong's military position in the three states of Qinliang and Yong.
He could not forget that the first person Huangfu Yong supported was Zhao Wang Huangfulun, not Qi Wang Huangfu Yan.
After receiving the good news from Luoshang Babaili, King Qi Huangfujiang finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Although the results of Deyang's victory were not so dazzling, Luo Shang's strategy for defeating the thieves was completely acceptable.OK.
As long as Luo Shang can solve the problem of refugees, it means that Qi Wang Huangfujiang knows people well and appoints them well, rather than being nepotistic.
To pacify the refugees, promote mine fields, and realize the grand blueprint that his father never realized, this is what Huangfu Juan has always pursued.
"My father has always aimed to rival Yin Gong. He failed to achieve this goal. I will help him achieve it!"
"Luo Shang's strategy is a prudent one." Wang Before Huangfu asked him awkwardly, Yan had already read the memorial sent by Luo Shang. At this time, he slowly said: "In the past, Meng offered his camp to the military prison and the Zheng people were afraid. Yan weakened the city of Dongyang and Laizi subdued it. Jiange Jia Meng Needless to say, there are natural dangers, and there is no need to say much about the western route of Luoshang along the Pi River. The key is the southern and eastern route. How to ensure that refugees do not move south or east on a large scale in the future, in addition to Deyang, it should also be in Pi. The county, Zizhong and Nanchong have strengthened their defenses."
"The Taiwei's words make sense." Sikong Donghai Wang Huangfu nodded and said, "However, Li County and Deyang are under the jurisdiction of Guanghan County in Liangzhou, and Zizhong is under the jurisdiction of Yizhou Qianwei. County, Nanchong belongs to Liangzhou Basi County. These places belong to two states, so it is really difficult to unified command."
"It's not like going out for encirclement and suppression," Shangshu Ling Ge Tai said coldly. The prefect and county magistrate only need to guard their territory. Anyone who abandons the city and flees will be punished according to law." As soon as Ge Tai spoke up, everyone in the room fell silent. Wang Yan originally wanted to say that the county's military equipment had been neglected for a long time and was no longer able to withstand a battle, but when the words came to his lips and looking at Ge Tai's arrogant expression, he finally did not say it.
"Hd Shang has been defeated repeatedly, so it is not appropriate to serve as the governor of Liangzhou again. Xu Xiong of Runan has both civil and military skills, so he should succeed Hd Shang..." Seeing that everyone stopped speaking, Ge Tai started the next one. issue.
In Chang'an, the newly appointed Situ, the Prince of Hejian, Huangfu Yong, sat on the brocade couch in the Jing Pavilion with a sad look on his face.
When he earlier sent Yabo to lead 10,000 elite troops to conquer the refugees in Liangzhou and Yizhou, he promised Yabo that he would serve as the governor of Liangzhou.
Huangfu Yong has always been a person who keeps his promises and always does what he says.
Huangfu Yong's father is called Huangfu Gui, and his grandfather is Huangfu Fu. He was the third brother of Emperor Xuan of Jin Dynasty Huangfu Yi, and he was also another first-grade black-robed grandmaster among the eight Huangfu dragons. Huangfu Fu had several sons in total, and Huangfu Gui was the sixth in his family.
As Huangfu Yong, he is not considered a close relative in the clan. According to the stone letter system of Huangfuyan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, non-clan relatives who were in charge of Chang'an were not allowed to do so. The first person to take charge of Chang'an was Fufeng Prince Huangfu Jun. He was Huangfu Yi's seventh son and a dignified second-grade purple-robed monk. After King Fufeng, there were King Zhao Huangfulun, King Qin Huangfujian, and King Liang Huangfutong, all of whom were close relatives of the clan. After Liang Wang Huangfutong was called to Shangluo by Zhao Wang Huangfulun to assist the government, Zhao Wang Huangfulun specially recommended Hejian Wang Huangfu Yong to Empress Jia. He said that after the vassals from all over the Huangfu family came to Beijing, Jin Wu Emperor Huangfu Yan saw After visiting Huangfu Yong and talking with him, he praised Huangfu Yong as a model for the clan.
EmperorFu Yong always cared about money and loved monks, and he never acted like a vassal king in front of the monks. Therefore, since he took charge of Chang'an, he has won the hearts of scholars in Yongzhou. Because it was Zhao Wang Huangfulun who recommended him in the first place, and in his heart, he indeed hated Empress Jia for killing the prince Huangfu Yu. When Qi King Huangfu Juan spread the word to the world and called on everyone to conquer Zhao Wang Huangfulun, instead of responding to Huangfu Juan, he kidnapped Huangfu Juan's envoy and sent him to Shangluo. When King Zhao Huangfulun asked him for help, he did not hesitate and sent his confidant General Zhang Fang to lead the 70,000 elite Western Army to assist Huangfulun. It was only when Zhang Fang arrived at Tongguan that he received news that the central army had suffered repeated defeats, so he hurriedly sent people to Tongguan overnight and changed the flag of aiding Huangfulun to attacking Huangfulun.
Although to this day, Qi Wang Huangfujiang has never brought this matter up, Huangfu Yong knows in his heart that one day the other party will reveal this matter and settle accounts with him. I won’t say it now, it’s just that Huangfu Yan feels that the time has not come yet.
Early this morning, he received news that King Qi Huangfu had appointed Xu Xiong as the new governor of Liangzhou, which made him angry and scared.
What makes me angry is that I took the overall situation into account and took the initiative to send Ya Bo to lead 10,000 elite troops to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. When Ya Bo set out, he personally promised Ya Bo that he would get the governor of Liangzhou for him. But Qi Wanghuangfujiang obviously rejected his suggestion, which made him angry.
What is scary is that, let alone Liangzhou, even the governor of Qinzhou has been replaced by someone appointed by Huangfu. If Huangfu囧 had a showdown with him one day, he would be surrounded from all sides.
Just when he was shocked, angry and at a loss, a person walked in from outside the Jing Pavilion. I saw that this person was five feet long, had big ears, and a black beard under his chin that reached to his chest. He was really extraordinary in appearance.
