Chaotic times Shura way

-

In fact, looking at this situation, everyone knows that before fighting to kill the handsome rider in Anahuan, he has already been crushed to powder by thousands of soldiers.

"His Royal Highness!"

"No—Your Highness, come back!"

Until now, every soldier understands the courage of the phrase "I would rather die than surrender"-that is, even if the heart is pierced, the courage will still shine; even if the bones are broken, the jade will be burnt together!

"Here is my head, take your majesty's head in exchange!"

He knew that the whole army was calling for him to return to his horse, but he had no intention of returning to his horse from the beginning.

The crown prince laughed loudly and mercilessly struck, and in an instant he defeated a group of soldiers led by the centurion!

Since he was going to die, he had to make his death worthwhile—if Ana Huange was killed here, even if Nan Chu was about to be defeated, Jiangnan could be kept stable for a few more years.A few years later, even if he rots into a rotten corpse, there will always be someone who will inherit this legacy and block Mobei's cavalry.

Clothes are the tomb, and the sky and the earth are the tomb. He has looked up at the loess for generations, until the day when later generations regain the Northern Territory, he is willing to rest in peace.

Anahuan's icy eyes moved slightly, as if singing an ancient aria.

——Finally here... my blood descendant after a hundred years.

"If there have been monarchs like you in 400 years, why should I destroy my own efforts?"

This low-pitched dreamlike babble, no one else could hear it except himself.And the next moment, he had already issued an order to the fierce general beside him:

To destroy the Southern Chu Army in Shaochun Gorge, especially Crown Prince Jingyan must be killed!

The setting sun was in the sky, and the sky was full of floating gold. In the distance of the sky, a burst of clear light suddenly passed by.

Ana Huan was thoughtful, and then his expression changed; the crown prince, who was in the sea of ​​blood, didn't realize it, and just continued to attack the enemy.

On the battlefield, everyone felt that a sharp blade was being stabbed in the air, containing a cold and terrifying killing intent.There was some turmoil in the gorge, and the air current in mid-air was violently churning, cutting off every strand of air in Shaochun gorge, turning this place into a vacuum desert in an instant!

It is like the power of the prehistoric world, omnipotent and omnipotent, making people feel like facing a tornado in the grassland, just want to flee in front of it!

——Where does the power come from, it is so powerful that it is on the same level as gods and demons!

The white glow was like lightning, and it suddenly cut into the middle of the crown prince and the soldiers trapped like ants.

The sword energy that crushed everything exploded like a torrent, and the people who faced the sword felt their whole bodies freeze into frost, and then they collapsed.

——This is no longer mortal martial arts... How can martial arts alone be able to destroy all living beings in an instant!

At this moment, blood gushed from the wounds on Jing Yan's body, and his heart throbbed violently.He pinched his chest, only to see that there was no one alive within a meter away——

Except himself, and the man standing in front of his horse.

Just in the breath, the man's moon white robe has been dyed red flames, shining like flowers, severely burning his eyes.

"Lingfei..."

When the man heard the sound and looked back, the red lotus and red fire in his eyes disappeared, and at the same time, he also stopped his continuous bleeding.

He was stunned and couldn't believe it—that pair of pupils had been in love again after two years, and it was so intense that it was suffocating.

"You said that everyone should be evacuated from Huai City safely...but the 10 people don't include me?" the man said softly.

The crown prince felt sad, but he couldn't speak.

Their farewell kiss seemed to be on their lips, carrying the warmth of being close to each other.

Originally thought that they would never see each other again in this life, but no matter how much they cut off, the bond between them should still be broken——

With such stubbornness, what reason in the world is there for them to push each other away?

"Phoenix, it's you who came..." Anahuan shook his head in amazement, looking at the Fire Phoenix who had landed on the battlefield in front of him, "You are finally here."

Just now, this move of "Wu Yun" has an unprecedented astonishing power - even a hundred years ago, when Jiu Xuan was under the control of Bi Yang, the power had never burst out!That level is already close to the level called "God" among warlocks, and it is a height that ordinary people can't hope for in a lifetime!

This body chosen by Biyang was originally just a herdsman child of mixed Gaochang and Han blood, how could it have such terrifying spiritual power?Could it be that the seal that Biyang imposed on his own soul, the magic technique that he could not break repeatedly in Luoyang City, really broke open! ?

"Yes, I am here."

The man turned to Anahuan, his expression changed at that moment, he became indifferent and unapproachable, as if under this body, there was another noble and aloof soul, staring at the pool of blood and the beacon fire all over the ground together.

The soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty were still guarding the lord, but they were afraid of Jiuxuan, who was like a ghost, and did not dare to act rashly against the crown prince.

The coalition forces took a closer look, and when they saw the blue spear that could be a nightmare for the entire army, they all knew that the person who came was the person they feared the most; and the shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northern Expedition reverberating through the canyon instantly made the coalition troops palpitate and frightened ——

"Major General Lingfei—!"

It is not only due to the significance of the Nine Profound Sword to the people of Southern Chu, but also because Bai Lingfei is already a legend in the army. look up to.

The troops in the rear, even the soldiers who did not belong to him, felt great ecstasy and encouragement, and as the main force of the rear army, the eyes of the front wolf soldiers suddenly shone with fanaticism when they saw the commander:

The major general has never abandoned them, even if the city is destroyed, he still wants to live and die with them!

"Did you go to Yang'an Pass for help?" He and the crown prince rode back to back and asked in a low voice.

Still panting slightly, Jing Yan glanced around at the surrounding soldiers: "Yes, did you see the reinforcements?"

"I see, it's Jing Huankang's handsome flag. Xiaohong's footsteps are fast, so I'll get rid of them and rush over." He glanced at Jing Yan, smiled and raised his eyebrows, "He should be here soon, you have to continue Be an assassin, or go back to meet our little prince?"

Having not heard his banter for a long time, the Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, and then he was warmly moved.

Surrounded by thousands of troops, Jing Yan smiled at him, "You fight better than me, so it's up to you to decide."

Bai Lingfei answered him quickly: "Then I will be in charge of the fight, and if I can't fight, I will run away. What do you think, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Jing Yan nodded happily, Jiuxuan and Hengji both drew out their swords, the bright sword lights intertwined, like the core of a whirlwind sweeping across the front.

Ana looked at the pair of double jade in front of him, and recalled the time when he and Biyang peacefully ruled the world and ruled the world in his previous life.The picture that was sung by Qingshi belonged to him and Fenghuang—but at this moment, Fenghuang had already turned his heart towards his descendants, and instead pointed the sword at himself!

Jiuxuan had already stabbed, and his own soldiers shouted to stop him, Bai Lingfei "cut off the water", cutting through the sea of ​​people like a huge wave, and the lightning directly hit the Ana ring!

——That is his phoenix, which soars into the sky when it encounters fire, blooms in full bloom under the blood, and its wings fold out a peerless light in the setting sun.

"Clang!"

The Xiudao went to Jiuxuan, and felt that the sword energy of "Hong Chen" was removed by a strange technique, leaving his meridians empty and nowhere to use force. Bai Lingfei was startled, and immediately changed into the softest of the seven moves. The "asking love" gracefully draws an arc, attacking the vital point of Anahuan from the side.

"Why didn't you sacrifice the 'Wuyun' just now?" Anahuan smiled slightly, "In fact, you can't bear to kill me in your heart, right?"

——It’s not that he doesn’t have a way to put Anahuan to death, it’s just that when he drove back the soldiers just now, he relied on the power he drew from the evil spirit. If he does it again now, it doesn’t matter whether he can control the evil spirit With the power of the spirit, Jing Yan behind will die first due to backlash!

Jiuxuan was blocked again by the seal, this time the strength exerted by Anahuan was even more strange, it actually firmly sucked the ridge of his long sword, making him unable to escape for a while.

——You know, even Fu Guang couldn't hold Jiuxuan so easily, he knew that Emperor Huaiyang had already seen the essence of Yujianmen's martial arts back then, so he could deal with his every move and move well So perfectly ingenious!

"Why are you always refusing to come back to me?" Anahuan looked at him with a sigh.

Two years ago, in the snowy land in the northern region, I tried every means to keep him back, but he finally used the Nine Profound Sword to forcefully break out, and returned to the Central Plains alone, but he was willing to be a cavalry major general who was about to perish.

The Emperor has never understood why the grassland is his real hometown, but why he only misses Jiangnan, the place that has been tossed into a mess by the royal family of Chu State?

"Phoenix... the country we created back then has become rotten a hundred years later; now looking at the Central Plains, who can have half the demeanor of our opponents in that era?" Anahuan still clings to Jiuxuan, and only sincerely invites him:

"Only me is enough to reunify the Central Plains. With you as my companion, we will share the world together. You and I are both immortal souls. We can stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars, be the same age as the heaven and the earth, and enjoy the country forever—— "

Bai Lingfei secretly urged his energy, but suddenly heard a sigh in his soul.

"Fenghuang, only that kind of honor is worthy of you." Anahuan said in a calm voice, with irresistible majesty: "He can't give it to the crown prince, only I can do it."

Bai Lingfei knew that the sigh was not his, but belonged to Marshal Zhaoguo sealed in his body.

With the name of being handsome and the merits of establishing an emperor, there are countless heroes in the Central Plains from ancient to modern times, the only one standing on the top of the stars, glorious and proud of the sun and the moon-such an aura that is almost on par with the gods, who would have thought that there is such a deep sadness hidden?

"I don't need these." He raised his eyes decisively.

"Phoenix!" Ana said coldly, "I let you choose two years ago, and now I'm giving you another chance. Do you still want to defy me?"

"To Master Bi, you are not a real Mingjun, but to me, Bai Lingfei—" He paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, he was decisive:

"There has always been only one person worthy of my service and pursuit. No matter how much fame and fortune I have, I am only willing to sacrifice my life for him. I will not change this life!"

The zhenqi stored to the peak was exhausted, Jiuxuan missed a single blow, and no longer wanted to fight, he immediately turned around and retreated.Jing Yan, who was covering outside, connected with him, and broke out at the same time.

The shouts were loud, and on the cliffs above the gorge, countless Southern Chu troops with bows and arrows suddenly appeared. Jing Huankang and Xie Zhengfeng led the main force and ordered the coalition forces to attack the exit of the gorge:

"Rescue friendly soldiers! Enemy soldiers are all shot to death!"

This front-wolf army came at the right time, and now they were being attacked head to tail, but turned into a coalition army planning to besiege Nanchu!

Jing Huankang was ordered by Bai Lingfei to keep a low profile at Yang'an Pass, so before receiving Jing Yan's call for help, Jing Huankang had already made preparations. The cavalry who came to help were not only equipped with the latest armored weapons, but also had been lurking at the pass for a long time. , Turning the situation around in an instant.

The crown prince and Bai Lingfei were silent for a while, and finally met each other's eyes.

The coalition forces were thrown into disarray by Jing Huankang's troops, and the two swords of Jiuxuan and Hengji were so sharp that no one dared to grab them directly.For a moment, they looked at each other on the battlefield, and they were so quiet that they would not be disturbed by the fighting.

"Lingfei, the spell on your body...is mine—"

"I know everything, don't say sorry again." Bai Lingfei said softly, "Don't worry, I don't blame you, I'm still the Bai Lingfei you know."

He glanced at the Southern Chu army flag in the distance, "Jing Huankang is here, and Yang'an Pass is guarded by me, so I can stay here for two more months. Take the Northern Expeditionary Army and withdraw back to Jiangnan as planned. Qingyuan is—"

The crown prince's eyes were red, and he immediately hugged him with his arms.

Bai Lingfei sighed lightly, and with infinite heaviness, he accompanied Jing Yan as he looked at this land where life was devastated.

——Only he can understand what kind of emotion Jing Yan is venting in the hug that was too hard.

Huai City, which was burned by the coalition forces, has become scorched earth.In the middle of June Pass, ashes drifted across Qinchuan at night, witnessing an extremely tragic war in the history of later generations.

As expected, most of the bargaining chips of their Northern Expedition were overturned in Huai City. Soon, tens of millions of innocent people in the south of the Yangtze River will become the next victims of the war.

When will the world of blood and fire end?

"Jing Yan..." He called out in a low voice, as if he wanted to heal the crown prince's pain with gentleness.However, after yelling, he couldn't think of what to say—no matter how gentle his words were, he couldn't whitewash this cruelty.When the consolation seemed too pale, what could he do for this man?

He knew that the crown prince's arm locked him was twitching, and it was only because he was in front of his own army that Jing Yan managed to control himself from collapsing.

They used to have the deepest love and the most unforgivable hatred.But when he knew what price Jing Yan paid to get him back, when he saw the peace talisman he prayed for, and when he was licking each other's wounds, he finally forgave.

He finally chose to let Jing Yan go, and he finally chose to let go of himself - if he didn't even let Jing Yan go, then in this man's life, what else could he hold on to?

His eyes became hot, and he kissed the crown prince slowly in the bloody sky.

At first the kiss was gentle, but within a few breaths, the intertwined lips and tongues had already hooked each other fiercely, dedicating everything to each other, until the heart was filled with love, the two pairs of lips refused to stop Shirdi parted.

"We'll be back."

"One day, I will conquer the Land of Nether Clouds for you, and unify the Central Plains and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the northern border—" He turned his eyes to the northern sky, then retracted them, looking deeply at Jing Yan:

"That new era of peace and prosperity is the pearl I gave you to crown you when you ascended the throne."

The crown prince didn't speak, but his eyes were enough to convey all his meanings.

——At that time, no one would have imagined that Bai Lingfei's promise would come true in such a difficult situation.

At this moment when later generations gilded it brightly, what they remembered each other was only their unbroken gaze and their gradually loosening hands.

Finally, the crown prince reined in the horse's head, and Bai Lingfei and Bai Lingfei each ran towards the opposite direction of the battlefield.

"All generals obey orders—" "Front Wolf Army obey orders—"

"Follow me to break through!" "Help the Crown Prince break out!"

The author has something to say: I still can't bear to abuse the two of them for too long, His Highness and Xiao Fei are also destined to agree with each other, let them be warm for this moment~

☆、Jiangnan Death Knell

When the Chunrilou fleet arrived at Jinyan Port, the news of Jing Yan's withdrawal from the north had already caused a sensation in the entire Central Plains.Along with it, it spread like a plague, and there was also the evil of the coalition army's million lions storming Yang'an Pass.

When Yiya and Xiaoxia were on the boat, it was the first time they saw Jiangnan like this——

In the trading houses, apart from the straightforward caravans of Chunrilou, few merchants are willing to do business going north to Chang'an and Luoyang; the bustling scene of ships at Jinyan Port is hard to reproduce, and even the daily port market transactions have been lost. The exuberance of the past.Even though Tianluo Street is still singing and dancing in the evening, it is unavoidably just a forced smile before the flames of war.

Everyone knows that Jiangnan is about to usher in bad luck, and every military newspaper sent back from the battlefield ahead can ring the death knell at any time.

On June [-], the allied forces laid siege to Yang'an Pass.

The Fenglang guarding the pass was equipped with the latest firearms of Southern Chu, the Red Gate Cannon, when it first appeared in the world, gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky above the pass, and thousands of enemies were reduced to ashes in the billowing clouds of fire. A moment ago, it was too late to remind the friendly troops who were charging behind—this cruel but poignant feast shocked Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, and made the coalition forces feel terrible in front of the Southern Chu army for the first time.

But at this time, Bai Lingfei and Jing Huankang led light cavalry each, and used the "two-wing battle formation" to severely damage the soldiers and horses of the Nake, Hagan, and Jie tribes among the 28 tribes in the grassland.With the astonishingly powerful cannon, Nan Chu was able to gain the upper hand in the first battle.

On July 50th, the 16 infantry troops of the Northern Expedition retreated to Bashu. At the same time, the [-] Yinglong troops in Bimo Port also withstood An Ruoran's pursuit and came to Jiujiang by breaking the waves.Because Zheng Jun's naval forces were difficult to deal with, Qingyuan made a prompt decision and bravely faced the enemy on the Jiujiang River. The battle lasted for five days and five nights. In the end, both sides suffered losses. The two sides continued to stand in a stalemate, but the main force of King Anqing withdrew from Bashu safely and returned successfully. Fangtian Yinshan.

Everything was just as if the crown prince started the Northern Expedition two years ago. In these two months, Southern Chu returned to the half of the Central Plains that Jing Yan had conquered.

Beginning in July, the battle situation at Yang'an Pass also reversed.The offensive of a million-strong army is not easy, and firepower alone cannot fight for a long time. Bai Lingfei tried his best, but was finally defeated by the retreating troops.The Red Gate Cannon was the first to withdraw, and three days later, the whole team of front-wolf troops Mingjin returned to the division. On August [-]th, Bai Lingfei joined Qingyuan, who was staying in Bashu, to fight against An Ruoran's water in the low-lying valley of Chengdu. Army, and Changsun Sheng's Ke Tianqi, originally the four troops fought inextricably. Yun Jing temporarily took the post of commander, was defeated from Jiujiang, and retreated to Shuishi City along the Han River.

On the eighth day of September in the 29th year of Ming Qi, when Bailu came into autumn, the last troop of the Northern Expeditionary Army finally left the northern territory. An amazing place.

A few years later, they returned to the place where glory began, but they wanted to serve as the last barrier for Jiangnan.

Zhang Lizhen was worried, and he and Bai Lingfei rode together outside the city gate, watching the front wolf army gradually marching into Xiya.

"If one day leads the mountain to fall, can Nanchu survive this test?"

Bai Lingfei looked at the soldiers under his command with unspeakably heavy eyes.

"The future of Nanchu depends on whether His Highness can accomplish those two things."

"Major General, Your Highness really decided to establish a concubine? Didn't he think about you—" Zhang Lizhen suddenly stopped, knowing that Bai Lingfei was always unwilling to confuse public and private matters, so he changed the subject in time: "Even if you don't need to marry, Your Highness can Decree to raise taxes, or confiscate the property of the rich Jia in Nanchu and fill it into the treasury, why do you need to do such a trick?"

Hearing this, Bai Lingfei retorted: "That is the real plan." He explained in a low voice: "If taxes are raised, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the people, and the achievements of his reforms within a few years will be destroyed; if the government is forcibly confiscated The family property of the wealthy family made Jin Yan’s group of merchants feel insecure first, which forced them to move to Luoyang and Chang’an with their business in disguise.”

"At present, the military expenditure is almost exhausted. If we don't expand the national treasury, Nanchu will not be able to support the war next year. It is for the sake of the overall situation that he will go back to Pingjing to get married at this critical juncture."

——This is the difference between running an army and running a country.Military generals only need to consider how to win the current battle, but what politicians have to consider is how to preserve the entire society.

Zhang Lizhen knew that only the Commander and Major General Qingyuan could understand the Crown Prince's thoughts, so he asked again:

"Then what is the second thing Your Highness wants to do?"

"It's a trade-off." Bai Lingfei sighed slightly, "He has to overcome his inner struggle and make a decision before Tianyin Mountain falls."

Zhang Lizhen was very puzzled, "What decision?"

The horn blew low, and the whole team of soldiers and horses had already entered the city.Bai Lingfei looked back at the Taowo Plain outside the city, and then asked slowly:

"If you were him, which one would you choose when faced with the victory of your own people and country?"

Zhang Lizhen was thoughtful, but he couldn't give an answer for a long time. He could only say frankly: "Since you can't have both, I don't know how to choose."

Bai Lingfei shook his head slightly, with a pitiful and complicated expression on his face.

"That's not fish and bear's paw, but the difference between the right and the wrong—"

"But war is a game with the cart before the horse. No one in this game can escape this rule."

On the Danjiang River, thousands of warships were chained and lined up. The lights on the ships were brightly lit, like a towering iron wall, completely cutting off the connection between Shuishi City and the upper reaches of the Han River.

"Now is the time when autumn is high and things are cool. An Shuai guards the river with chained boats. Isn't he afraid that Southern Chu will attack with fire?"

The woman's face was covered with a heavy veil, her phoenix eyebrows were indifferent, and the long hem of the golden silk robe slowly dragged, and finally came to the man standing in the handsome cabin hall.

"The weather is turning to autumn, and the wind is blowing south. Until the snow melts, our army is at the top of the wind. It is the Southern Chu army who are afraid of fire attack."

The guards in the cabin have been screened back, rows of wind candles were lit in the hall, except for An Ruoran, only Yan Lan stood silently by.

"Anshuai's martial arts and military tactics are all unique in the world, and he is also proficient in both cavalry and naval warfare. I am deeply impressed."

"These two are the methods that my teacher must learn, and it is only natural to be proficient in them."

An Ruoran frowned, paused, and continued in a low voice: "Besides, in the battle of Jiujiang, if you hadn't boarded the boat and attacked, the Yinglong army might not have retreated to Shuishi City."

Yan Lan lowered her eyes, just to hide the sharpness in her eyes, and replied calmly:

"Earlier, I knew that Qingyuan's martial arts was second only to Bai Lingfei in the Southern Chu Army, but I didn't expect him to be such a skilled swordsman. There was a mistake in chess, and there were personal guards on board, so he couldn't be caught on the spot. Killed." She recalled the fierce battle that day, suddenly thought of something, and asked An Ruoran: "That day there was a man with strong swordsmanship, his military uniform was at least the rank of Captain, and he was highly valued by the commander, who is he?"

An Ruoran thought for a moment, the reflection of the dancing candlelight in his eyes.

"His name is Yun Jing. The tactics used in the several battles he has become famous in the past two years have won the attention of military strategists. Although many important generals in the Yinglong Army now have higher ranks than him, Qing Yuan seems to be interested in cultivating him. , given time, he may become the second in command of the Southern Chu Navy."

"It turned out to be him." Yan Lan stood in the clear shadow, suddenly smiled: "Does An Shuai need to take action?"

An Ruoran shook his head upon hearing this.

"Now that the owner of Chunri is in Shuishi City, the plan to assassinate the general of the Yinglong army will no longer work."

"Since this is the case, what is An Shuai's good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

His face suddenly became cold, and his eyes were like lightning, staring straight at the unfathomable woman in front of him.

"Besides delivering me the antidote, does the envoy of the Ming Cult have other things to do?"

Yan Lan stood indifferently beside the candlestick, her eyes were examining An Ruoran, as if she wanted to see through everything he was thinking.

"An Shuai misunderstood." After a while, she shrugged and said in a low voice, "I'm just concerned about the war, not trying to influence your marching method."

"Really?" An Ruoran sneered, "The antidote to the poison of 'San Duan Jin' on Huai Yu is now on its way to Luoyang, why are you still here?"

The current god general who ruled the land of Yiluo and cut down the princes in Zhengjing had an aura that even the envoys of the Ming religion could hardly resist, but this woman also had the aura of looking down on the world in her eyes. The glacier made her calm in front of An Ruoran.

"Although the 'San Duan Jin' on Zheng Huang's body can stabilize An Shuai, but Bai Lingfei is your fellow apprentice after all, and Jiao Wang is worried about changes in this situation, so he will inevitably stay by your side for a long time."

An Ruoran suddenly heard the familiar name, his expression changed, and he said coldly:

"You have a special status, how can I keep you in the army?"

Yan Lan nodded slightly, "If there is no solution for these things, how can An Shuai command the army?" She made a slight suggestion and said lightly: "For example, An Shuai is at the age of youth, and he is in the army. After many years of fighting, it is unavoidable to feel lonely, the king of the church is sympathetic to this point, and specially asked me to come and serve—"

"Shut up!" An Ruoran scolded angrily.

——If it wasn't for Yan Lan who was in charge of the Three Ways and Five Departments in Mingjiao, including the magic medicine palace for medicine and poison refining, he would have killed her long ago!

"I'm just making a suggestion, anyway, An Shuai will have his own way, won't he?" Yan Lan smiled sweetly.

An Ruoran flicked her sleeves coldly, and when she calmed down, knowing that Yanlan would be watching her day and night from now on, it would never be wise to make the relationship too tense, so she showed kindness to her and told her about the situation that she was very interested in :

"The primary goal of the coalition forces is to take Waterstone City by all means."

"Although there are four more red-door cannons in Xiya, they can only be used for defending the city, not for field battles on the plains. As long as we limit the battle to the junction of the Han River and the Bai River, we can avoid the threat of cannons and make the most of the water. Army and cavalry, Yinglong army has this navy to deal with, Ketian, Heixuan, and the fine cavalry army of the 28 grassland tribes are also enough to restrain the Southern Chu cavalry, the coalition army has at least a [-]% chance of winning."

Yan Lan knew very well that An Ruoran had no strategy left, if there was a [-]% chance of winning, then it was a sure win.

"Of course I believe in Anshuai." She asked lightly, "But should this battle be fought early, or should it be delayed?"

"This battle must be resolved quickly."

Yan Lan looked at him deeply.

"The current wind direction is favorable to our army, and this advantage can only be maintained for a few months. Jing Yan returns to Pingjing, and will marry the princess within this year; although Qingyuan is seriously injured, he will be fully recovered before spring with Ouyang Shaoming taking care of him. This winter, Xiao Fei and King Anqing are the only ones who are afraid of the defense line of Tianyin Mountain, but after the snow melts, Jing Yan and Qing Yuan return to the battlefield, it will be even more difficult to capture this line of defense."

"If you cross Tianyin Mountain, how long will it take for the coalition forces to win the Civil War?"

"That depends on how cruel Jing Yan is—" An Ruoran said decisively: "He has a way to win, it depends on whether he can give up most of Jiangnan for this."

The author has something to say: PS1. Our Highness needs to work hard for a while

PS2. Our Xiaofei will also be offline for a while, but he will appear again in a very cool way

PS3. In the next few chapters, there will be people you haven’t seen for a long time~ It’s really been a long time~

☆, sow dissension

"If you cross Tianyin Mountain, how long will it take for the coalition forces to win the Civil War?"

"That depends on how cruel Jing Yan is—" An Ruoran said decisively: "He has a way to win, it depends on whether he can give up most of Jiangnan for this."

Yan Lan immediately showed a pensive expression.

"After capturing Xiya, Chihan, and Modong, the next step for the coalition forces is to capture Pingjing. However, a large-scale siege is not good for our army. With Jing Yan's intelligence, he must know that fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness is the best tactic. As long as he frees up all the troops in the area around Pingjing and withdraws all the food and supplies, the coalition forces can easily capture Guizhou and the entire territory of the two lakes, and completely encircle Pingjing. However, at the periphery of tens of miles, he has already Wait with heavy troops, and wait until our backup fails, then he can fight back with all his might, and drive the allied forces all the way back to Tianyin Mountain, chasing, killing, encircling and annihilating them along the way, until the entire army is overthrown in the south of the Yangtze River."

"A plan to fortify the wall and clear the country!" Yan Lan couldn't help whispering: "But that is equivalent to allowing Pingjing to be surrounded by the coalition forces. Even though Crown Prince Jing Yan always wins by surprise, how dare he be so bold?"

An Ruoran smiled coldly, "Those who achieve great things, how can they not have the courage and courage? Jing Yan should be as clear as I am about this."

"Originally, this strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness is not guaranteed to succeed. As long as the entire Tianyin Mountain line of defense is taken down, our army's backup route will be stable. With the support of the three countries, compared with the isolated and weak Southern Chu, whose army has not yet been exhausted. We know." An Ruoran sighed: "But Jing Yan returned to Beijing this time, and the princess and concubine he married came from two great Jinyan families, which is equivalent to holding the largest treasury in the south of the Yangtze River in his hands. After getting married, Pingjing's reserves will be enough to support the whole city for several years, and the coalition forces may return without success."

Yan Lan chuckled suddenly.

"Crown Prince Jing Yan is indeed far-sighted, but he is one foot taller and I am one foot taller. An Shuai need not worry about this matter."

An Ruoran was suspicious, but she knew that this woman had always been in the city, and she refused to reveal the inside story, and it would be futile to ask more questions.

"You seem to have an extraordinary concern for the situation in the world and the war between the North and the South." He squinted at Yan Lan with a cautious look in his eyes, "If the Southern Chu falls and the balance of power in the world suddenly changes, Mingjiao will Are you planning to compete in the Central Plains? Or—"

"You yourself want to climb to the position of the king of the church, and then participate in the world's struggle?" He asked her coldly.

Yan Lan's eyes flashed, and the face under the veil suddenly changed.

"You and I are the same kind of people who are unwilling to submit to others."

An Ruoran scoffed at this sentence, and resolutely turned her face away, but she saw the extremely rare panic in the commander's eyes——

"Your martial arts can rival Bai Lingfei, and your strategy is not inferior to Crown Prince Jing Yan. Are you only willing to be an important minister under Emperor Zheng's command?"

"The meaning of Huaiyu to me cannot be understood by fame and wealth." He categorically retorted.

"You are very affectionate, but who can understand your painstaking efforts? Over the years, Zheng Huang has been criticized by many people, saying that he used sex to win over his subjects for his conquest, so how are you in the hearts of the world? What is it like? an existence of

"—One day you can't rule the world, you can only be a warrior who is obsessed with the emperor's appearance."

An Ruoran turned around like thunder, and smiled coldly at her: "Do you think you can separate Huaiyu and me with just a few words?"

"This is not to alienate, but to let you face your true desire—"

"Didn't you never ask why General Tuoba, the benefactor you have always regarded as your own father, didn't pass on the Nine Profound Sword to you, but instead gave it to your beloved little brother?"

Yan Lan's eyes were like mist and electricity, as if she wanted to see him thoroughly from the inside out.

An Ruoran clenched his fists tightly to conceal the trembling of his hands, "Xiao Fei is born with a strong understanding, and his aptitude for learning martial arts is higher than mine. He is the only one who can practice 'Wu Yun' after Master Bi, master. If you don’t pass on Jiuxuan to him, who can you pass it on to?”

"Do you really think so? Maybe you didn't mind, but when the whole country of Southern Chu regards your junior brother as the god of war and sword master, when the whole world respects him as the master of Yujianmen—" Yan Lan pressed forward step by step, but unexpectedly Didn't leave him any leeway, "When he holds the Jiuxuan Sword that originally belonged to you, and then becomes the person closest to Marshal Zhao Guo in the world today, can you really think so in your heart?"

"No!" An Ruoran sternly shouted, panting slightly, "I grew up with Xiaofei, we love brothers, how could I be jealous of him!?"

Yan Lan snorted coldly with disdain, "Brothers can also fight in the same room, not to mention brothers who are not related by blood. You have already betrayed him two years ago and made a private alliance with the coalition forces. Isn't it ridiculous to want to build an archway now?"

An Ruoran seemed to have been struck by lightning, his face turned pale instantly, but he tried to remain calm, squinting at Yan Lan:

"You mentioned Huaiyu first, and then you used Master and Xiao Fei as spears. What is your plan?"

Yan Lan lightly smiled and said, "Didn't An Shuai explain my plan?"

"I'm sure that An Shuai is my ideal ally to accomplish this great event."

An Ruoran's heart was shocked, but she heard her speak slowly:

"My holy religion is based in Kunlun, but its influence spreads throughout the northern border. Even King Changming dare not underestimate it. Since you have spent half your life on the battlefield, you must understand the pleasure of controlling thousands of miles of rivers—if you are willing to form an alliance with me, help me ascend The throne in the church, such a territory, will be in your hands one day. At that time, who will say that you are not as good as Bai Lingfei, and who will talk more about your relationship with Emperor Zheng?"

What a shocking speech this time, even a character like An Ruoran couldn't speak for a while——

No... His lifelong ambition is to recover Youyun and bring the Central Plains back into unity. If Southern Chu is destroyed and Jing Yan is no longer his opponent, he can fight for Ming Huaiyu in Xia Kingdom and fulfill his long-cherished wish.And the foreign iron cavalry in Mobei was originally the enemy who ruined his family. Whoever controls the ups and downs of the territory in the northern border has nothing to do with him?

"However, this matter has a long future. If An Shuai has any hesitation, he can wait until after the fall of Pingjing before thinking about it. The night is already deep, so I won't disturb An Shuai's rest."

This flirtatious woman smiled meaningfully at him, bowed her head and saluted after she finished speaking, and left gracefully.

An Ruoran clutched the sword at her waist, and fell into silent meditation——

It was too obvious to sow dissension like that, but it caused a shocking shock in his heart.
