Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

The forward cavalry fell into countless traps in the middle. The central infantry corps of the Dafeng Army fired bows and arrows and ground crossbows at the same time, and the charge of the Tuna cavalry was delayed.

The cavalry on the left and right wings turned around and tried to help.

With a wave of Qian Yueran's hand, two infantry regiments of 5 people joined the formation, moving forward left and right, blocking the front.

The halberd soldiers in the middle had a five-meter long halberd, and eight thousand halberd soldiers charged forward one after another, piercing the rushing cavalry.

"Hey, your soldiers regard death as home!" said the leader of Qinghua.

Shen Luo watched the frontal fight, and the tuna cavalry and halberd soldiers filled the trap with people.

He nodded.

Both Jing Gongyun and Guotai drew their swords at the same time, and the cavalry army all charged towards the front.

"Left army and right army, tear your mouth open." Jing Gongyun shouted.

The cavalry charged forward indomitably.

The cavalry on both sides fought hand to hand.

Old Tongge also took the lead, and the sledgehammer fell, breaking the opponent's cavalry with their sabers and arms.

"Drum!" Shen Luo shouted.

All the big drums sounded at the same time, and the scene of fighting stretched for more than ten miles, and the soldiers of both sides were everywhere across the mountains.

"The central infantry attack." Qian Yueran drew his sword and led the infantry regiment forward.

The sound of neat footsteps was like a heavy hammer, beating on the ground.

The leader of Qinghua was dumbfounded: "It's amazing!"

Brother Tie rushed into the army formation, all the weapons were spinning, and rushed into the sea of ​​people on the opposite side.

The entire battlefield was in chaos.

"Here we come." Nie Xingfeng shouted.

With a wave of Shen Luo's hand and flag, [-] archers shot at the [-] cavalry in the southwest.

Xing Nuo led his men to evade with all their strength, and countless cavalrymen were shot off their horses. He did not expect that the battlefield ahead would be so shocking.

The number of soldiers on both sides is at least five 10,000+.

It's a pity that the cavalry around him are now only fully escorting him to retreat.

As soon as his men reached the flank and were met by the Black Hawk cavalry, Maya blew his horn.

"The whole army retreats." The Tuna exclaimed, and the cavalry faded away like sea water.

"Mingjin retreat!" Shen Luo also waved, and the whole army retreated.

"Aren't you going to pursue?" Qian Yueran rushed back and asked.

"Stop chasing, as long as the goal is achieved." Shen Luo looked at the corpses all over the Luotong Plain, and couldn't bear it in his heart. If he could surrender without fighting, that would be his first choice.

Believe in this, after the uprising in the north of Tuna, things might get better.

"Send down the order to start building a beacon tower at the junction of the Luotong Plain." Shen Luo pointed with his hand: "Our army will not cross the border for the time being, but we will not back down."

"If the trade of sea salt and tea is interrupted, it's impossible not to fight." Brother Lan came over and said, "This may be the reason for the division between us and ordinary people in Tuna."

"I know, I already have arrangements." Shen Luo said.

On the way back to Daying, Old Tong Ge also rushed back: "Why don't you chase after me?"

"Have you enjoyed killing?" Shen Luo asked.

"Generally speaking, if we continue to fight today, we may win a big victory!" Old Tong Ge said.

"Maybe?" Shen Luo sighed after hearing this: "You all think that we may win all, which means we may lose, and I can't afford to lose."

"Xing Nuo has already gone back, and the goal has been achieved. It's a good thing we don't get entangled." Big Brother Lan added.

"It's a pity." Old Tong Ge looked back, "I haven't fought like this in the past 20 years. I really hope that I can defeat the enemy in one battle and go straight to the hinterland of the earth!"

Shen Luo sneered: "Then surrounded by 4000 million of them, crawl back?"

"Haha!" The leader of Qinghua smiled: "With such a cold face, who can still tell cold jokes, he really is an extraordinary person!"

imperial capital.

"Report, Your Majesty, urgent report from the Northwest!" In the early morning, the palace servants ran over urgently, with a nervous expression.

"What's the matter, Tuna took revenge?" Emperor Qianyuan asked leisurely.

"Returning to the emperor, Tuna Guoshi Maya personally led an army of 30 to crusade against our country, demanding that our country return to the west of the Luotong Plain, and open the passage to let Prince Nuo return to the country."

"Maya!" Yun Changkong raised his voice, "Hasn't Tuna Guoshi been in seclusion? Why did he leave the seclusion? He is not an ordinary person!"

"30 cavalry, this is incredible!" A minister echoed.

"Don't worry, how did Northwest respond?" Bailiyu asked.

"Master Taifu personally led an army of 36 against the enemy. The armies of both sides fought a decisive battle in the Luotong Plain, and Tuna retreated." The palace man said.

"That's it?" Emperor Qianyuan put down his tea cup: "Who wins?"

"I didn't say it, and I didn't say it in the report. It was just a fierce battle, and they all retreated."

Yun Changkong frowned: "How did you fight? No result?"

"What do you think?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

Qianping, the commander of the imperial forest army, said: "Such a large-scale decisive battle has not happened in decades. I don't think the commanders of both sides want to fight to the death, so no result is the result."

"How should I say it?" Bailiyu also asked curiously.

"It's like a game of chess between masters. No one has the ability to kill the opponent. If they are so evenly matched, they will not stop dying. Will the more than 60 people who participated in the battle survive?" Qianping asked.

"It makes sense, it is the best policy to force each other back in terms of momentum." Emperor Qianyuan praised.

Back in the small study, Jian Cong and Guowei were already waiting.

"Is there any secret performance for Shen Luo?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"Yes." Guowei took out the memorial: "A Luo said that Maya tried to fight him just to take Xing Nuo back. No matter how the situation in Tuna changes, what we have to do must not be delayed."

"It is right to respond to all changes with the same. After all, it is the enemy and us. I think the cooperation is only short-lived." Jian Cong also said.

"Hmm!" Emperor Qianyuan thought for a while: "I don't know how the second brother's affairs in the north are going. Now the matter in the north has become the key. Once this hole is torn open, there will really be a decisive battle for Shen boy. Expect."

"This time the Northwest has mobilized 36 troops, which is already very amazing. I think it will also be a deterrent to Tuna." Guowei said: "However, this means that both the enemy and us on the border will be full of energy to prepare for the war. If we fight again, it will not be on a normal scale!"

On the other side of Tuna, Xingnuo and the others returned to Mohuala City, a big city in the Luotong Plain.

"See the national teacher." Aquino, the minister sent by the king's capital, saluted Maya.

"What's the matter?" Maya sat on the sacred throne marked by the fire, meditating with her eyes slightly closed, with extraordinary momentum.

"At the orders of the King and the Queen Mother, I came here to inquire why there were no results in this war?" Aquino said.

"The results of the battle?" Maya opened his eyes, the eyes were so bright that people dare not look directly at them, and Aquino knelt even lower.

"Yes!"

Maya asked back: "What result do you want? Why didn't the deity die in battle? Why didn't the whole army die with the enemy? Or did the soldiers in front not swear to kill the enemy?"

All the generals looked at him dissatisfied.

Before Aquino could answer, Maya said, "Yangang, answer him."

"Yes, the national teacher!" Tata Yegang said after saluting respectfully: "In such a decisive battle, the strength of both sides is equal, and our army is insufficient to follow up, so it is difficult to completely fight the opponent. The opponent's formation and geographical advantage are better than ours. If you want to fight to the death, I am afraid that you will die endlessly, and even the entire army will be wiped out."

Aquino looked at Xing Nuo: "Dare to ask the prince, why didn't your cavalry give the enemy a fatal blow in the rear? 40 against three 10,000+, even if it is a fight, our cavalry will not be weaker than the enemy? "

Xing Nuo looked at him and said coldly: "The opponent's [-] archers are facing me. The road they must pass is narrow, and even the cavalry cannot use it. How can I sneak attack on the enemy's back."

"Does that mean that the Dafeng Army knows the prince's movements?" Aquino asked.

"Aquino, what do you mean, the prince's cavalry is weak, not even enough bows and arrows, and it is very difficult to retreat completely. Do you mean that the prince has notified the other party of his whereabouts?" Some generals asked dissatisfied .

"Don't be angry, generals, I'm just." Aquino explained.

"You are just making trouble out of nothing, just like those tongue-twisters in the capital, my army is fighting to the death on the front line, but you are here to pick three and four, what do you mean, just say it!" The generals on the front line in Tuna scolded.

"Okay!" Maya's voice was like a Hong bell, knocking heavily on everyone's hearts.

"Go back and tell the king that he is a bit stupid to ask such a question." Maya said bluntly: "Ten days later, the deity will return to the king's capital and tell him to pick him up!"

"Yes!" Aquino nodded respectfully.

After Aquino left, all the generals looked at Maya, and Maya closed his eyes again: "No need to say anything, just let him go, you all go down!"

"Yes, the national teacher." All the generals retreated together.

"Every mile along the way, there is a beacon tower and a special sentry tower." Qian Yueran returned to Tianfang City to report the matter.

"With such an arrangement, isn't it afraid that people will take all the people in front?" Qing Hua's leader pursed his lips and said.

Qian Yue frowned, why is this weird person still here?

"How about the persuasion of the fortress?" Shen Luo asked.

"It has been agreed that there are 10,000+ border residents in the fortress of Tuna, and they are all willing to surrender to us, because they hope to be able to self-govern in the fortress."

Shen Luo thought for a while: "Yes, we can also provide them with sea salt, tea, and porcelain in exchange for their cattle and sheep."

"My lord, can you feed so many cattle and sheep in exchange?" Qian Yueran asked curiously.

Shen Luo smiled shallowly: "Go and see the pasture behind Tianfang City. The [-] head of cattle and sheep have been raised very well, and they only occupy five hills."

"And it also solved the livelihood of more than 30 people, brother Yueran." Xiao Shitou said with a smile.

"So good?" Qian Yue was surprised.

"Yueran, there are only 300 million people in the northwest. You don't have to worry about food and equipment. I'll give you half a year to expand the army to 40, not including Lan Lingwei." Shen Luo said.

"40 people?" Qian Yue was taken aback for a moment: "This is something I can't even imagine."

"Strong laborers can serve in the military. Those who are injured or retired after serving will be rewarded with cattle, sheep and fields to help them take root in the northwest, so they will no longer recruit troops from outside." Shen Luo said leisurely.

"Isn't that just self-sufficiency, and it has achieved this in terms of military strength." Qian Yue clicked her tongue.

"However, the higher-ups of the army still have to continue to use people from the Imperial Forest Army, and the training is also based on the Imperial Forest Army." Shen Luo stretched out his hand: "I don't want the mountain faction."

"I know, I will mix new recruits and veterans together for intensive training."

"15 cavalry, war horses, I will find a way to deal with it, 25 infantry, plus city defense and construction workers, I want no idlers in the northwest." Shen Luo said confidently.

"Yes!" Qian Yue nodded.

"When you are an official, if everyone is like you, then it will be great!" Qinghua leader looked at Shen Luo who was busy for half a day, and the rest of the time, writing, publishing books, and reviewing memorials, was not even very busy.

Just like now, sitting in the garden, drinking tea, and tuning the strings with one hand, without the slightest busyness of being an official.

"If everyone in the Jianghu was like the leader, then it would be easy, and there would be no more disputes." Shen Luo replied to him, playing the piano leisurely.

Long Qingchen sat on the side and made new clothes for Shi Shi. The kid has grown a little recently, and his pants are a little short.

"The years are quiet, why rush!" Nie Xingfeng on the side shook the wine gourd in his hand, looking leisurely.

The sweetheart in Tsing Yi came back, sat down, and poured a cup of tea.

"The Master is back, did you see any intractable diseases today?" Nie Xingfeng asked curiously.

The man in front of him is the well-known sweetheart with ten hearts, who saves ten people in one day, and is very good at treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

The ten-hearted sweetheart did not return, but said to the Qinghua leader: "I just saw the Yin-Yang Sanren."

"Oh, this guy wants to be the number one in martial arts all day long, and he seems to be addicted." The leader of Qinghua said disdainfully.

"Your name is Master Qinghua, why?" Shen Luo asked a rare question.

The leader of Qinghua was stunned: "You don't know yet?"

Shen Luo shook his head.

"Because before and after we teach, there is a forest of love flowers!"

"Oh, I thought there were love flowers everywhere!" Shen Luo said.

"Less, it's a little bit in the south." The leader of Qinghua said: "The kung fu I practice is called "Qinghua Code", so our teaching is called Qinghuajiao."

"It's a very elegant name." Nie Xingfeng said.

"Would you like to listen to the history of Jianghu? As a grand tutor, there is no harm in knowing." The leader of Qinghua looked at Shen Luo with a smile.

Shen Luo shook his head.

"Why?" The leader of Qinghua asked puzzledly.

"For me, the rivers and lakes are misty and rainy. You can just watch them from a distance, and you don't need to look close." Shen Luo returned.

"You are really a complete weirdo." The leader of Qinghua pursed her lips and said consciously and bored.

"Teacher, just received a secret letter from the emperor, saying that there has been movement in the north, and there will be an uprising on April [-]th at the most." Old Tong Ge said.

"So fast?" Shen Luo frowned: "My lord is very efficient in handling things!"

"It's because of the deep grievances in Jiulu City. There have been several civil strife before. In this case, I have to thank Mrs. Jane for her help." Elder Tongge said excitedly.

"Jane Cong? What did he do?" Shen Luo was curious.

"Didn't he always advocate the use of black stones as fuel? He bought them in a big way and sold them into briquettes. The business in the capital is booming. This matter has reached the ears of officials in the north of Tuna. They have a lot of black stones, but If you want to dig, people will be driven out to mine on a large scale, and sold secretly. There have also been many casualties, so the people’s resentment boiled over, and they couldn’t help but rise up.” Mr. Tong Ge said.

"It's April now, the news has passed, and Tuna will not be able to reflect it until the end of May. We have made arrangements in advance to prevent them from countering the rebellion." Shen Luo estimated.
