Disarming Allure

Only a week or so after arriving at the border, the imperial court declared war on Nangan in the name of killing ministers and border conflicts.

Huangfu originally wanted to stay at the border and arrange the hidden guards and defense lines around Ling quietly, but the court urged him several times, and the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so he had to pay close attention to the surrounding movements and ordered to raise troops.

Beifeng adopts the policy of preparing first and fighting later. The war started suddenly, and most of the ministers on the border of Nangan were virtuous and incompetent. Killed by surprise.

Since the first battle, the battle has been won, and the morale of the Beifeng Army has been high.

All the way south, he captured several cities. In the name of Beifeng, Huangfu revised the original strict military service system and taxation system in Nangan. He took refuge in Huangfu and joined the ranks of the Southern Expedition.

Continuing to travel south, we will soon reach the front line of the southern drought-stricken area, and the number of refugees migrating to the new capital along the way has gradually increased.

Refugees are mostly in groups, all of them are in ragged clothes and have gray faces. Young and middle-aged men guard the head and tail of the team. Most of the people walking in the middle are old people, women and children. There is not much food on the road, and you can buy it anywhere. Seeing people digging grass roots by the side of the road, children with plastered faces, crying and clamoring for hunger, but no one paid attention to them, all of them were ashen-faced, and their eyes had no luster.

Most of the refugees kept silent when they passed by Huangfu's army. They all hid away like snakes and scorpions, for fear of being involved with the enemy's army and causing trouble. Corrupt officials in the hardest-hit areas piled up food for disaster relief to drive up food prices. All he could do was to open warehouses to release food after securing military food every time he captured a town.

When Ling stayed at the Nangan border to guard the border, although he knew that there was a drought in the country, but he was busy with military affairs, so he didn't realize that the harm caused by the disaster was so serious. In the past, it was okay to have the suppression of the Yu family, but now the Yu family Facing the threat of chaos in the country and the country, the corrupt officials intensified their efforts to search for the people. They saw the devastated Nangan River and Mountains along the way, and saw enough of those who died of starvation and disease. The people in Nangan are gray, and the whole Nangan is shrouded in gloomy gray. There are dazzling scenes in Ling's eyes, and he feels blackness in front of his eyes, and anger and sorrow flow through his limbs. It is the emperor he so called allegiance to... This is the country he tried his best to protect since he was a child...

What a terrible obsession, blinded his eyes, and burned everything without realizing it.

After marching for half a day, the army rested in place in a small forest.

The seventh brigade lined up at the back of the line. Several soldiers from Wuhuo sat around and gnawed corn bread. The desolate scene along the way made everyone feel deeply. Can't help but be full of indignation.

Da Xiong mouthed rough noodles, cursing with excitement on his face: "Damn!! Is that a human life!?!? I also heard that Lou Shimin, that stupid king, drank and ate meat in the palace all day long. I think if we Once they have entered the city, they will capture him and hang him for a hundred or eighty days, so that he can understand what it means to be hungry!"

Er Gou didn't take Da Xiong's "big words" seriously, and curled his lips: "You don't care about him so much, let me tell you, at our marching speed, we can reach Luocheng in less than half a year."

"Yeah! It's only been a few months, and we've already come here! The Nangan Army is nothing! A group of soft rubber shrimps with paint and powder!"

Everyone echoed the words, only Shen Xun, who was sitting next to the big bear and nibbling dry food, said weakly: "Don't take it lightly, although Nangan lost General Yu, there are still a few people left Some are amazing..."

The bald-headed brother spat disapprovingly: "Bah! Why bother raising other people's aspirations and destroying your prestige! Even if Yu Hengqing came in person! I also beat him to the ground!"

Ling Wenyan raised her eyebrows, she didn't even shake her hand holding the water, but when Da Xiong saw someone choking with Shen Xun, he crossed his hips like an old hen and said angrily, "Don't talk about dead people! Xun is doing it for your own good too! One by one, after winning a few battles, your buttocks are so high!?"

Brother Liang dared to choke on anyone, but Big Bear didn't dare, he gnawed on the cornbread embarrassingly, and muttered: "Then you're saying, who else in Nangan can't be taken by our general?"

Ergou said: "Don't tell me. When I mentioned this, I thought of He Yaoxi, the ever-victorious general of Xiaoling Iron Cavalry. He was also a character. I heard that he was Yu Hengqing's sworn brother. Brother, if Yu Hengqing died Now, Xiaoling Iron Cavalry should be led by him, wouldn't that be difficult to deal with?"

Ling Ben stayed behind the crowd to drink water, but when he heard the name of his old friend, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he shook his head silently, asking He Yaoxi to lead the army, the sky would be turned upside down, besides, if he wasn't here, what could He Yaoxi do? Will he honestly become Lou Shimin's tool?

Ergou is known as a know-it-all on weekdays. He knows everything, and he received it mysteriously: "Also, aren't we going to attack Yangcheng in the future? I heard that Ji Yang, the general guarding the city there, is also a formidable man." guy!

"You idiot! Are you scared?" The bald head disagreed, "If you talk about Ji Yang, General Huangfu crushed him without even one little finger!"

Hearing this, Ling secretly guessed in her heart that although Ji Yang had a lot of insidious tricks, he might not be Huangfu's opponent. He fought with his army for the past few days, and found that this person is really better than what he knew before. He is more strategic.

He had a unique vision for decisive battles along the way, and he always hit the enemy's vital points. He first used the cavalry to break in to disperse the enemy's forces, and then used the swift foot army as the vanguard to defeat them one by one. He is well versed in the way of attacking the false with the real, and using the false to lure the real. The phalanx is attacking and the circle is defending, and the center breaks into the two wings to outflank.

Moreover, Huangfu is wilder than himself in fighting battles, and any weird tactics make him feel like a fish in water, just like attacking a city, it is trivial to smash doors, climb ladders and pile up mountains of earth, dig tunnels, drill earth mountains, block the water flow of the moat, and make the enemy The army ran out of water and food, lured wolves into the enemy's camp to attack, and even picked up the honeycomb on the tip of the sword and shot it into the enemy's formation...

Huangfu does not pursue a rigid method in fighting, but pays attention to efficiency. It is better to say it is casual, like playing while fighting, but it is definitely not sloppy. He will make the best use of various factors in every battle. However, he was able to grasp the local layout and situation, and even the character and psychology of the enemy generals before the battle, so as to quickly defeat them.

Although he and him are mortal enemies, and both of them are familiar with each other's combat methods, but now it seems that he finds that his understanding of Huangfu Lanxiao is not deep enough.

In every battle, watching Nangan's army being thrown away by Huangfu, he couldn't help thinking in his heart, if at this time, he led the army and faced Huangfu, what kind of tactics would he use? , how would Huangfu respond... If he saw that the general in front of the formation was himself, what expression would he have...?

The army rested for half an hour, when an order came from the front to continue to move forward, Ling Youyou stood up and patted the dust on his clothes, watching a group of soldiers jumping up and down shouting to take Yangcheng in one go, I don't know if it was for Beifeng I am happy with the high morale, but I still lament the corruption and incompetence of Nangan.

The first battle close to Nangan... Although Ji Yang is not as good as Huangfu, he has a lot of vicious tricks.

Huangfu, you won't let me down, will you?
