Zhou Kong turned to leave, Bai Liyan shook his head with a smile and said:

"Don't look at this woman as shrewd, but she doesn't know anything about officialdom and political affairs, if she doesn't serve our army, she will suffer sooner or later."

Gongsun Yue nodded in affirmation:

"The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, ordinary people only see its surface, but do not know it, but they don't know that the world is not profitable, no profit, put the common people in fire and water, the benefits of the big disadvantages. Now, the parting of ways between the two factions is a foregone conclusion, and Yongxing Hou has to make plans early. ”

"Well, I know whether to fight or not, and now I'll deal with the thunder first."

Affected by the current lag in information transmission, it has been more than 20 days since Thunder, Shentong, and Shengyan cut off their food, and there is no possibility of turning the tables, but if they are stationed in various places and wait for the summer grain to be harvested, it is still possible to delay it for three and a half months.

At that time, without considering the interests of the foolish faction, the three of them made peace with Changsun Guo on the northern front, took the initiative to withdraw troops from the northern line to the south, and promised to give up the four counties of Ganfu, Shangguan, Wanchuan, and Xiaguan in exchange for the supply and release of water from Changsun State, and then it was a high probability event to press the Xian army in the south.

The only way to avoid such an outcome was to drive the three men to the Western Front before the reconciliation was completed. At the same time, they gained a firm foothold in Shangguan and Ganfu counties, closed the north-south traffic arteries, and formed a trend of closing the door and beating the dogs, so that Thunder, Shengyan, and Shentong lost the biggest bargaining chips for peace with the eldest grandson.

At the same time, Zhao Xun took advantage of the lack of grain and grass in Shengyan on the eastern front to shrink his forces, launched an offensive from Pengyuan and Chunan counties to his back, captured Sangnan County, and used this as a threat to force Changsun Guo to make peace with the rebels, and finally there was only one way to retreat west.

Of course, Changsun Guo may also refuse Xianguo's request in anger, and instead fund or even incorporate Thunder, Shengyan, and Shentong to fight back against the Xian army.

In this way, the original rebellious alliance may turn into an attack between the princes in the blink of an eye, and the Changsun Kingdom will not only have to bear the military, political, and economic pressure brought about by it, but also have to feed the extra hundreds of thousands of mouths and bear the fact that the warlords have been divided over the territory for a long time.

At the same time, the Xian army occupied the land of Sun to take a defensive position, with 200,000 soldiers and horses of Gongsun Yue and troops from all over the country, and the direct and indirect available military strength of the Xian army on the eastern and western fronts was not less than 700,000 people.

The only variable comes from Zhiguo, if Zhiguo stabs Xianguo in the back at this time, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Around the clock, Bai Liyan changed into the head of the Holy Order, and took more than 100 people to ride fast horses to escort Qin Han back to Peicheng under the pretense of returning to Peicheng, and met Lei Ting's cronies around the middle of the afternoon.

As expected, the content of the thunder letter asked Qin Han that if the Yin Heavenly King occupied the grain and grass and refused to be able to reach the river, he would immediately unite with Wang Tianshi to force the Yin Heavenly King to go north to fight with the eldest grandson, and if he did not obey, he would be abolished and seize power. But now that Mo Yunfeng is "crossing the river to help the war", Thunder's "worry" is obviously redundant.

At the same time, two days later, Shen Duchi led the cavalry to Fengqing, the capital of Ganfu County, the gate of Fengqing was closed, and the banner of Mo Yunfeng was already planted at the head of the city, but it was still under the banner of the Black Turban Army.

"General Qiqi Mo, Shen Duchi's cavalry has arrived outside the city and asked to enter the city."

The guard said quickly, Mo Yunfeng stood up, picked up the sword on the table and hung it on his waist:

"Let's go, go with Ben to meet him!"

Mo Yunfeng crossed the river this time, neither installed the military attache of the Xian Army to supervise the army, nor did he send people to monitor, Bailiyan only assigned him a liaison officer to speed up the transmission of news, and the various armies across the river were given full authority by their command, and Bailiyan was not worried about his repetition at all.

First, it is necessary to appoint people without suspicion and to give them a certain degree of trust, which is conducive to future disarmament and appointment.

Second, his grain and grass are still in the hands of the Xian army, and half of his cronies and soldiers and horses are stationed in various parts of Dekang County.

Three to 10,000 inches of silver has been obtained, and the generals under his command have all taken the benefits of the Xianjun, the situation is basically clear, the family is on the territory of the arrogant road, and there is no need for him to repeat it again inside and outside.

After a short while, Mo Yunfeng rode to the south gate and went up to the city wall through the horse road. At this time, Shen Duchi was riding outside the moat and heard shouts from the city.

"Where is General Shen under the city!"

Shen Duchi followed the prestige, urging the horse to step forward and shout:

"This will be Shen Duchi, where is Mo Yunfeng."

"It turns out that Your Excellency is General Shen, and you have admired it for a long time. This general is Mo Yunfeng, who was ordered by the King of Yin Heaven to be stationed here to transport grain, and General Shen didn't know what advice he had here. ”

"General Mo, this general is ordered by the Divine Power Heavenly King to ask the general to go to the penny hill to discuss the military aircraft, and ask General Mo to quickly open the city and let our army enter the city."

"Mo Mou, the kindness of the Divine Power Heavenly King, received it, but Mo was ordered to be stationed here to supervise the grain, and he did not dare to leave his post without the order of the Yin Heavenly King, and asked General Shen to bear with me."

"If General Mo doesn't go to see it, then open the city and let the general enter the city."

"I'm sorry, without the warrant written by King Yintian, I wouldn't dare to open the city, General Shen, please go back."

Shen Duchi was furious when he heard the news:

"How can this be reasonable, Fengqing is under the jurisdiction of the Divine Power Heavenly King, why does the Yin Heavenly King occupy my jurisdiction and refuse to open the city. I have a warrant from the Divine King, you open the city quickly, otherwise you will delay the military plane, can you afford to offend! ”

"Hehe..."Mo Yunfeng sneered: "General Shen Duchi, this general came to garrison on the order of the Yin Heavenly King, without the warrant of the Yin Heavenly King, I can't open the city, General Shen, please go back." ”

Shen Duchi whipped his whip in anger:

"Disobey the will of the Heavenly King, and you must know what the consequences are."

Mo Yunfeng was not afraid of his anger and calmly responded:

"General Shen, it is difficult to transport grain and grass at present, and Dekang grain and grass have not yet arrived, if you don't want to starve, I advise you to go back quickly, even if you enter the city, Fengqing will not have extra food for you General Shen."

"Mo Yunfeng, are you going to rebel!"

"Hehe, don't dare. As long as General Shen shows the warrant written by King Yintian, he will immediately let General Shen enter the city, if not, please go back. ”

"Mo Yunfeng, you villain, the Divine Power Heavenly King will never spare you!"

"Hehaha......" Mo Yunfeng laughed: "This will be under the control of the Heavenly King, don't bother the Heavenly King, hum!" ”

After finishing speaking, Mo Yunfeng turned around and walked down the city to ignore it. Shen Duchi was in a hurry, riding his horse and spinning in place:

"Mo Yunfeng, fatten your dog guts!"

At this time, the general said:

"General Shen, what should we do?"

"Immediately let people report to the king, and we will go to Chaocheng immediately."

"But Chaocheng has been controlled by Mo Yunfeng, and we still can't enter the city."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Shen Duchi, who had eaten a closed door outside Fengqing City, rushed to Chaocheng.

At the same time, Shentong quickly evacuated the pennyhill, retreated to the first line of Shangguan and Xiaguan, established a defensive line, and when he left, a fire burned the indica rice that was about to ripen in the fields along the way, and the fire burned for two whole days.

"This dog thief with magical powers, he still has to do evil before leaving, it's just hateful!" Ye Xin scolded in a hurry, pacing back and forth in place, and his heart was extremely annoyed. Then he said: "Mr. Guan Long, it's better to take advantage of the absence of Shen Duchi's cavalry, our army will simply kill it, what are you waiting for." ”

"No, the deputy marshal has clearly ordered him to go ahead, if the supernatural power escapes, let him go, and don't pursue him. Although Shen Duchi's cavalry was not there, he must have known that our cavalry might pursue him, and there would be an ambush halfway through.

The penny hills are all overgrown hills, where there are few trees, but there are many tall grasses, and now it is about to enter summer, and the grass and trees are dry, if they occupy the high ground halfway, and wait for our army to pursue, they can kill our army with only a fire. The deputy marshal must have his own intention not to let you and me pursue him. It's better to wait for the supernatural powers to retreat, and then do the army. ”

"It's a pity, if you can defeat the supernatural power in one fell swoop at this time, you will avoid a bloody battle in the future. If I flee like this, I am afraid that if I wait until the summer harvest, it will drag on for another three months and a half, and I don't know how many brothers will die. ”

"Not necessarily."

Guan Longxiang denied, and Ye Xin was puzzled and hurriedly asked:

"What does Mr. Guan Long mean by this?"

"Yuke and our army worked hard as early as a few months ago, secretly contacted and bought rebel generals from all over the country, and now most of the cities in Ganfu are owned by our army, the situation has gradually become clear, and most of the Xiaguan County will have a major incident on the way to retreat, once the Zhijun army breaks through the Xiaguan Pass and drives straight in, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Shentong to have a foothold."

"Mr. is saying that the deputy marshal bought off the guards of Xiaguan County, and at the critical moment, he hit him in the back to help Gongliang Chen go north!"

"Yes. But General Ye don't forget, there is not much grain and grass left in the supernatural powers, and there is also not much grain and grass for the rebels in various places, even if it is delayed until the summer harvest, if you can wait for the summer grain, it will also need the people's power to harvest and dry.

Nowadays, the people's livelihood in various places is withering, the people are hungry, and the food rations at home have long been cut off. At that time, Gongliang Chen knocked on the pass very urgently, and the rebels themselves could not be protected, where would they have the spare strength to collect food. ”

The direct consequence of the cut off of grain and grass in Dekang is not only the cutting off of the rations of the three armies of Shentong, Shengyan and Thunder, but also the relief and relief food of the surrounding counties and counties centered on Dekang County, and people are the fundamental resources of production and labor, people starve to death, and the large areas of farmland in various places cannot be harvested by the rebels alone, in order to survive, the rebellion of the guards is the only way out.

At this point, the war is no longer a bloody contest on the battlefield, but a big gamble that costs millions of lives.

At the same time that the supernatural powers abandoned the penny hill, Zhao Anling hurried back to Xuandi's camp by boat. After Gongliangxiu emptied the Taiqin granary, he led the naval army south to return to Miaocheng Port, and his previous promise to help the Xian army transport grain fell through.

Bai Liyan explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and Zhao Anling couldn't help complaining after hearing it:

"With such a major change, how could Master Hou hide it from An Ling, causing me to be counted down by that Gongliang cultivator a few times."

Seeing Zhao Anling's depressed face, Bai Liyan laughed:

"Hehaha...... If Ben Hou had informed Mr. Zhao in advance, he was afraid that Gongliang Xiu would have been able to eat you. ”

"Why is that?"

"As the so-called authorities are clear, bystanders are confused, Mr. Zhao doesn't know that Gongliang Xiu is also a thief, he pulled down his face to get angry for our army to take advantage, but in fact he is making excuses to cover up the interests of the Gongliang army.

If my expectations are good, Chitose and Thunder will soon cease fighting on the southern front, and if Mr. Zhao knew about the Yin Tianwang in advance, Gongliang Xiu would definitely be trying to find out where the bottom line of our army is. If Mr. doesn't know, no matter how much Gongliang Xiu tries it, he can't be sure. ”

"This ...... I don't feel half a point worse than that Gongliang cultivator, if he is tempted, how can I do it. ”

"Mr. Zhao doesn't know about this matter, although Gongliang Xiu is generous, but there is one thing that he is very cautious about."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Face. You have to let him do smart things, if you do it before him, Gongliang Xiu can be anxious with you. ”

"Oh...... I understand, he is not convinced! ”

"Yes, if it's small, it's called cautious, and if it's big, it's not convinced, or it's competitive. He thinks he is smart, he is strategizing thousands of miles away, we are all a particle on his chessboard, but I don't know that in the dark, God helped me, and I took the Gongliang clan one step ahead. How could he not be angry, and when he was angry, he tested Mr. left and right, so that now even the boat has withdrawn to Changyin, which shows that he is really cautious. ”
