The March lasted for three hours, and finally arrived at the camp site of Chuzhou army before dusk.
After ten thousand troops arrived, Jiang Luzhong set up camp skillfully. With a group of generals, Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen, Jiang Luzhong entered the military account of Yang Yan, commander of Chuzhou.
Yang Yan and the senior generals of Chuzhou had been waiting for a long time.
Yang Yan looks around at Jiang Luzhong and others, pauses slightly on Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen, and says coldly:
"the war in the north is not optimistic. We are short of guns and crossbows, and we are short of military supplies, so we have been mainly restraining and harassing. There is no way to inflict heavy damage on the Yasukuni army. "
Jiang Lu Zhong nodded slightly. The military supplies in Chuzhou were limited. Most of the guns and crossbows had to stay in the territory to guard the city... It's impossible to transfer out all the troops, otherwise the cavalry of Yasukuni will attack Chuzhou, and the chassis of Dafeng army will be completely scattered.
Jiang Luzhong looked at the deputy general beside him. The latter understood and reported the total amount of grain and grass, military supplies and the proportion of cavalry, infantry and artillery.
After listening, Yang Yan nodded with satisfaction and looked at the deputy general beside him.
Now the adjutant and the commander of the northern army are fighting in full swing.
"Yaoman's individual combat power is stronger than that of Yasukuni, and their arms are richer, but they are still defeated by Yasukuni. In recent days, we have analyzed the reasons and classified them into three points: first, the military literacy of demon man is not as good as that of Yasukuni. Demon man has the blood of gods and demons, and once he is hot blooded, he will lose his mind. In small battles, that's the advantage. But in a large-scale campaign involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, this is a fatal flaw.
"Second, sorcery. The battlefield is the home of the wizard. You are all experienced generals. I don't need to add more details. Most importantly, there is a shaman in the Yasukuni army. It is because of his existence that Zhu Jiu, who has not recovered from his injury, is bound up.
"Third, Xiahou Yushu is a top-level handsome man, and the level of campaign command has reached a perfect level. In the face of such a character, unless he is crushed with absolute strength, it is difficult to defeat him with so-called ingenious tactics. "
After a pause, he continued: "now the army fighting with us at the border of Chuzhou is the left army of Yasukuni, and the leader is tuobaji, sipingwufu. Under his command, there are 3000 armored troops, 5000 light cavalry, and 10000 infantry and artillery. Tuobaji intends to kill us at the border of Chuzhou. "
Ready to die at the border of Chuzhou, that is to say, at the moment, the distance between the two sides is not far.
Sure enough, Jiang said, "so if we want to go north to help the demon man, we must first win the Tuoba sacrifice."
Yang Yan nodded slowly: "only by defeating tuobaji's army can we have no worries. The problem is that as far as cavalry is concerned, we are far from rivals of the Yasukuni cavalry. As for artillery, they were also equipped with a lot of artillery and crossbows. We have an overwhelming advantage in terms of quantity, but not in other aspects. "
One of the generals said with a smile, "so you're here just in time. Now we have enough troops and armaments. Our troops are so expensive and fast that we can go straight to war and make Tuoba sacrifice. We'll be unprepared."
The generals in Chuzhou also smile. They have been waiting for reinforcements for a long time.
Jiang Lvzhong nodded slowly: "do you know their position?"
Yang Yan "well" A: "only know the specific location, there are scouts staring at, an hour back to resume life once, so far, no exception."
Jiang LV looked around the crowd and said, "this battle must be decided quickly. Otherwise, with the ability of a wizard, there will be more and more corpse soldiers fighting for a long time. We may not be able to burn our bodies in time on the battlefield. "
Witches have the ability to manipulate corpses, so the best way is to burn dead corpses on the spot, so as to effectively curb the number of corpse soldiers.
People started a discussion on this topic.
"The magician of the sky warden will give us the location, and then we will have a few rounds of bombardment. Then the archers and the blunderbuss advance... "
" but if the other side withdraws, the other forces can't catch up except the cavalry. If the cavalry pursues, it will be the sheep entering the tiger's mouth. "
"How about taking advantage of the large number of troops to form a encirclement?"
"No, to encircle is to disperse our forces. On the contrary, we lose our advantage. The other side can break through in any direction, or even launch a counterattack."
"We have to be on guard against the divination of witches. If only we had high-quality magicians to cover up our secrets."
"Diviners can only predict their own good or bad fortune. If they are not in danger in this battle, they can't calculate it. Oh, if the other party has a Sanpin Linghui master, then I don't say it. "
In the fierce fight, Xu Erlang takes a look at Chu Yuanzhen, who was once the number one scholar. He shut his eyes and didn't insert the meaning of discussion.
Xu Erlang could only keep silent. A quarter of an hour later, the generals were still discussing, but they had passed the stage of disagreement and began to formulate details and strategies.
Xu Erlang takes another look at Chu Yuanzhen. He still doesn't speak, but he coughs and raises his arm"Listen to me, gentlemen?"
The discussion stopped, and the generals frowned and stared at the only scholar in the army tent.
Xu Xinnian was not qualified to sit here, whether it was his status as a governor or his qualifications. But Jiang Lu and Xu Qi'an are friends who have been to Jiaofang department together and investigated the case in Yunzhou. Naturally, they pay special attention to the younger brother of their whoring friends and comrades in arms.
Yang Yan, not to mention, glanced at the displeased generals and nodded quietly: "it doesn't hurt to say anything about Xu Jin."
With the tacit consent of the commander of Chuzhou, Xu Xinnian was relieved and asked the general on the spot: "what's our goal?"
A general frowned and replied in a deep voice: "it's natural to kill the army of Tuoba sacrifice and go to the north to help the demons."
Xu Erlang nodded: "so our real goal is to rescue the demons, not to fight with tuobaji."
"What's the difference?" Some generals sneered and asked questions.
Xu Erlang took a look at Yang Yan and saw that he was listening attentively without any sign of interrupting, so he said:
"of course, there are. When we march and fight, we attack the city first and attack the heart first. Winning at the lowest cost is what we have to do. If you only know how to act recklessly and fill in a victory with the lives of soldiers, it's rough... "
" cough cough! " Chu Yuanzhen suddenly coughs and interrupts Xu Xinnian's speech.
"Attack the city for the bottom and attack the heart for the top" is the concept in Xu Qi'an's military book, which you may not have read. This book is called the art of war by Sun Tzu, which was recently written by Xu Ning Yan. By the way, I'd like to introduce to you. This is Xu Qi'an's cousin. He's a top two Jinshi of this subject. Well, you can continue with Xu Jin. " Chu Yuan said with a smile.
How can Xu Yinluo know the art of war? It's wonderful to attack the city first and attack the heart first......
it turns out that this white faced scholar is Xu Yinluo's cousin......
the generals are full of ideas. When they know that Xu Xinnian is Xu Yinluo's cousin, they put away their displeasure and adjust their attitude.
Wu Fu, who had just sneered and asked questions, showed a friendly smile and said, "Xu Jin, please continue. Let's listen."
The attitude is quite different.
Xu Qi'an's deeds of redressing the grievances of 380000 people in Chuzhou City and Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, have long been spread all over Chuzhou.
Some of the officers on the scene were Chuzhou natives, who were very grateful to Xu Qian.
Of course, it's not local soldiers or officers who have the same respect for Xu Yinluo. When talking about him, who doesn't brag and give a thumbs up?
This unruly white faced scholar, since he is Xu Yinluo's cousin, is not unruly, but just like his cousin, he is a brave and talented person.
Well, his talent has yet to be confirmed, but it does not prevent the generals from treating him differently.
Xu Ci's old face is still a little thin. There's a cousin with terrible reputation who doesn't know how to use it. If he moves out early, who won't sell you face? I have to help you... Chu Yuanzhen shakes his head.
I don't need elder brother's protection..... Xu Xinnian muttered haughtily, took a deep breath and continued:
"getting rid of Tuoba sacrifice is our goal. The purpose of leaving this army at the border of Chuzhou is to contain us, kill our troops, create time for them to kill demons and reduce the pressure.
"If we really fight, even if we win, it's only a partial victory, and it's not good for the overall situation."
Ginger law frowned: "we know that, what do you think?"
The generals looked at him one after another. They knew the truth, but if they didn't kill the enemy, how could they go north to help?
Xu Xinnian looked around the crowd and said, "our advantage is that we have more people. I think the advantage of seizing this point is not to fight more with less, but to make rational use of the number and deploy the army."
He stopped for a moment and said, "why don't you send a large army to make a detour?"
Hearing this, the generals were extremely disappointed.
Only Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong meditated.
"How? If we don't solve the problem of Tuoba sacrifice, we should make a detour rashly and wait for others to make dumplings? "
"Xu Qian, your method, well, is OK, but it doesn't apply to this time."
The generals said euphemistically.
Compared with his elder brother, this is far worse.
Xu Xinnian propped up his hands on the table and said faintly, "listen to me. Just now I heard you say that the number of Tuoba sacrifice troops is about 18000, right?"
Yang Yan's deputy general nodded: "if logistics and militia are not included, it is true."
Xu new year asked: "18000 people, how about siege?"
One of the generals said with a smile: "delusion. It's impossible to break through a small city of Chuzhou, even if it's only ten thousand people. Besides, there are hundreds of strongholds in the border defense line, which can be rescued at any time. "
Yang Yan's deputy general added: "we have been strong and clear."
Xu Xinnian laughed: "in this case, it's not difficult for us to transfer 10000 troops from Chuzhou."Yang Yan's deputy general pondered: "of the 20000 people you brought, 10000 will stay in Chuzhou City. It's no problem to transfer those people. It won't affect the garrison
Xu new year's smile deepened: "then I venture to ask, in the face of Tuoba sacrifice, not to kill the enemy, but to fight and protect myself. How many troops are enough?"
This time, Yang Yan replied: "twenty thousand troops are more than enough. This place is not far from Chuzhou. If the deployment is good, Chuzhou garrison can help, then fifteen thousand is enough."
Xu new year nodded: "conservative estimate, or leave 20000. At this time, there were more than 40000 soldiers in the barracks. Draw out 20000 to make peace with 10000 troops in Chuzhou City. The 30000 men and horses made a detour to the north and joined the demon man.
"As for tuobaji, there are 20000 people left to fight and confuse each other, so they don't have to worry about making dumplings."
There was a moment's silence in the military account, and the generals stopped talking and measured the feasibility of the plan.
"We also have warlocks. We hope that Qi skill can help us find the enemy. Even if they react and go north to help us, we can hold each other down."
"If the enemy moves, we will move. If the enemy can't move, we'll drag them. In this way, we can not only help the demons, but also hold back the 18000 people of tuobaji. "
"Well, it's not very pleasant, but this strategy is really feasible..."
the generals on the scene are rich in experience. Whether Xu's new year's strategy will work or not, just a little balance, you can have a general idea in your mind.
In the military accounts, the senior generals looked at Xu's new year's eyes and recognized him a little more, or at least his brain.
I think he is a person who can participate in the discussion.
Yang Yan breathed out a smile: "yes, this plan is feasible, details, have to discuss."
In the military accounts, the senior generals looked at Xu's new year's eyes and recognized him a little more, or at least his brain.
I think he is a person who can participate in the discussion.
Xu new year breathes out a breath, he is not so proud, military accounts, come up with a good idea, does not mean that he is really a genius. There must be a time for these generals to come up with ideas.
It is not enough to March and fight by just one stratagem. The knowledge inside is too profound. When it comes to the location of the latrine in the military camp, there are unique considerations.
Cijiu really has a talent in the art of war. What he lacks is the ability to command battles. At present, it's good to be a military strategist.
...
"the national teacher is very observant!"
Xu Qi'an first boasted, and then analyzed: "there is indeed collusion between the head of di Zongdao and Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty. What does this mean? As early as in Chuzhou, I already knew about it. "
Besides, the head of the land clan doesn't recognize his six relatives, and his mind is full of evildoers and women. Isn't it necessary to check his line?
The beautiful national teacher, who was full of city and country, gave him a light glance: "isn't it something you are good at investigating cases? If I know, I need you to investigate?"
It's reasonable. I have nothing to say.
Next, Luo Yuheng asked him about his cultivation and pointed out his practice of heart sword. After learning that Xu Qian was at the "meaning" level, Luo Yuheng pondered for a long time and said:
"moves are moves, meaning is meaning, no meaning. What you need to do now is to understand the meaning, not to merge the tricks. Put the cart before the horse. "
But I don't have "meaning". If white whoring belongs to meaning, I'm at the top of four grades now. My aunt..... Xu Qi'an shrugs her head.
"If you want to be quick, you will not be able to achieve it. It will take others several years or ten years to realize it. You have only been practicing for more than a month." Luo Yuheng warned: "don't worry."
After a pause, she added, "but I hope that you can achieve it in two years."
Huh? Why do you have to pay attention to it in two years?... Xu Qi'an nodded: "I will sink my heart."
Luo Yuheng nodded and said nothing more. He turned into a golden light.
But she did not return to Lingbao temple. She turned around in the air and landed in a small courtyard not far from Xu Fu.
The small yard is full of flowers, and the air is sweet and greasy. A woman of mediocre appearance is lying on a bamboo chair, eating precocious oranges, showing her teeth while she is sour, but she can't bear to eat.
"Why do you come to me again? What if someone finds out?" Mu Nanzhi didn't say well.
"No one can see me but the supervisor." Luo Yuheng said faintly: "if you think that the prison will covet your beauty, then I won't come."
"Then I know myself well." Mu Nanzhi hum twice.
Luo Yuheng ignored her and went straight to the side of the water tank. He took a look at the nine color lotus root, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's been a good time." She looked away at the princess.
"I feel my waist is thick." The princess pinched her waist and complained, "it's all Xu Qi'an's fault that the dog thief always takes me out for a big meal."Luo Yuheng smiles. When she was the imperial concubine of huaiwang, she had all kinds of delicacies, but she always didn't like them. Now she is a mediocre little woman in the market. She has a better appetite than before.
Trapped in the palace for 20 years, she was finally free, and her face was different.
At this time, if she shows her true colors, she must be the most moving woman in the world.
Luo Yu Heng man said, "Xu Qi'an is leaving the capital. Will you follow him?"
The princess quickly shook her head and denied: "of course not. Why should I go with you? I'm not his concubine. I just borrow some money from him to stay outside his house."
Luo Yuheng is very satisfied with this answer, light way: "remember your words, if you rebel, I will sell you to the kiln."
Mu Nanzhi said suspiciously, "what's the matter with you?"
Luo Yuheng ignored him.
The princess threw an orange: "here you are. I bought it at the market this morning. It's very valuable."
Luo Yuheng waved his hand and beat the orange back. He didn't look at it. "I don't eat it."
The princess said, "tut Tut, I really envy a woman like you who doesn't go to the toilet."
Luo Yuheng frowned slightly: "the way you talk now is like a vulgar market woman."
The princess laughed.
On the other hand, Xu Qian thought about how to find a breakthrough here.
"The Taoist priest of Di Zong can't go to check. First of all, I don't know where Di Zong is. If I know, I can't go either. Taoist priest Jinlian will report me and give my head away. But now, the dragon can't go there any more, because it's too dangerous and there's no harvest.
"I've finished reading the daily life record. There's no major clue. How can I find out? No, what am I looking for? "
Xu Qi'an reviewed his clues and ideas. At first, he found out that emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty supported Zhenbei King's slaughtering of the city, and the effort was not proportional to the reward. There was a problem here.
After checking for so long, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty did have a big problem, but Xu Qi'an didn't have a clear answer and direction about what it was.
"What I want to do is to uncover the mystery of emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty. Soul pills, abduction and trafficking in people and dragon veins are all clues, but there is no one line to connect them. In the soul pill, there is the shadow of the land patriarch, and the dragon vein also has the shadow of the land patriarch....
"Luo Yuheng's idea is right, and the land patriarch may be the line connecting everything. But how do I find the entry point?
"I'm also in a wrong way of thinking. To find a breakthrough point, I don't have to start with the local patriarch himself, but also from what he has done. Go to the watchman's Yamen. "
He went straight out of the Yamen on horseback.
At the gate of the watchman's Yamen, as soon as the horse's reins are lost and the robes are shaken, entering the Yamen is like going home.
The guard didn't stop him. He gave him rein to watch the horse.
After entering the yamen, I found song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao in a circle. Maybe I went to listen to the music while patrolling the streets.
Fortunately, Li Yuchun is a dedicated and good silver Gong. Seeing Xu Qian's visit, Li Yuchun is very happy. He pulls him into the room happily and looks back fiercely.
"Don't worry, that slovenly girl didn't follow." Xu Qi'an knows this superior very well.
"No, don't say it, don't say it..."
Li Yuchun waved her hand: "even today, I still feel goose bumps when I think of her."
It seems that Zhong Li has left a heavy psychological shadow on brother chun. It's as big as two rooms and one living room..... Xu Qi'an doesn't talk nonsense. He puts forward the purpose of his visit:
"chief, I want to see the confession of Uncle Pingyuan's peddler."
"I'll do it for you." Li Yuchun didn't ask much. He beckoned for the official and told him to go to the document library to get it.
For the files of such cases, it is not even necessary for the watchman to go in person. It is enough to send an official.
They sat down for tea and chatted. Li Yuchun said, "by the way, Guangxiao will get married at the end of the year. The day has been set."
"That's a good thing!"
Xu Qian showed a sincere smile and said that Zhu Guangxiao could finally get rid of song Tingfeng, a bad friend, and leave on the road of no return.
On his way to Yunzhou to investigate the case last year, Zhu Guangxiao said that when the Yunzhou case was over, he would return to the capital and marry his childhood sweetheart.
has to make complaints about it again... Xu Qian's smile is hidden beneath the smile of his previous life.
Speaking of all, the worst thing in my last life was not getting married. College students, high school students, and childhood friends got married one after another. They gave money and gave it again. Now they have no chance to come back.
Just think about it.
Not long after, the officials returned with the files of the human teeth organization, a thick stack.
After the death of Uncle Pingyuan, most of the leaders and minions of the human teeth organization were captured, and only a few of them were at large. The prisoners had been dragged to the vegetable market for questioning.Only the confession from the trial.
Xu Qi'an directly skips the confession of the minions and focuses on reading the confession of the minions in the organization.
The nominal leader of the organization is a man called "black scorpion".
Black scorpion's identity is mysterious. Before the watchman's Yamen had time to lock him down, Hengyuan killed Pingyuan uncle and disrupted the plan of the watchman.
As for these small leaders, they don't even know that they are working for Pingyuan uncle. They are only responsible for luring and abducting single children, women and even adult men.
Men are sold as slaves and labourers, while women are sold into kilns or left to be played by brothers in the organization.
For Pingyuan uncle secretly to the palace of the transfer of population, even more ignorant.
"As Uncle Pingyuan, I'm sure I won't personally approach the human teeth organization. This black scorpion is an important person. Before the watchman could lock him down, Hengyuan killed him in Pingyuan Bofu.... "
Xu Qi'an took a breath," does the boa constrictor in the story of Fuxiang refer to this black scorpion? He knew that the watchman was checking himself, so he secretly reported to emperor yuan Jingdi. After getting the advice of emperor yuan Jingdi, he disclosed the information to Hengyuan and killed people with Hengyuan's hand? "
The guess flashed through my mind.
It's just a flash, the end of black scorpion, or escape from the capital, or have been killed.
There is no need for this person to check.
Xu Qi'an continued to read the confession. Looking at it, a trivial detail attracted his attention.
There is a confession from a little leader named "Dao Ye". In the confession, Dao Ye mentioned that when he joined the profession, he was with a senior named Lu Ye.
This Master Lu, who calls himself the elder of the human teeth organization, was followed by master Dao when he was young. Master Lu is getting old. He slowly retreats and supports his confidant.
The biggest problem with this message is that Mr. Dao started his career in his early twenties, and now he has three in his forties.
Before Dao ye, there was another deer ye, which means that human dental tissue existed for at least 30 years.
The human tooth organization has existed for at least 30 years, which is a conservative estimate. Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty only practiced Taoism for 21 years..... Xu Qi'an took a deep breath:
"is Master Lu's family still there?"
He handed the confession to Li Yuchun.
Li Yuchun shook his head: "this case is not handled. It's not clear. I'll help you to ask."
He took the confession, got up and left. About a quarter of an hour later, Li Yuchun returned and said, "Master Lu died long ago. According to the law of Dafeng, he sold the population a little, and was sentenced to lingchi, beheading, exile and censure according to the seriousness of the case. When the father dies and the son pays, the crime is reduced to the second grade.
"Lord Lu's crime must be sentenced to lingchi. Because of his illness, his son paid back and his crime was reduced to second class. At that time, he had already been exiled to the border. Lu Ye's hairy wife is still alive. "
Xu Qi'an drank the tea, got up and said, "take me to find her."
In his early years, although he made a lot of money, he knew that his career was "dangerous", so he left behind and bought a house in the inner city, leaving a lot of property.
After his son's exile, Master Lu's first wife took his family to live in the inner courtyard. She could still live a life of luxury.
However, the watchmen are all hob meat, extorting the family members of the traffickers every so often, squeezing all the black money they earn.
So Mr. Lu's family moved back to the outer city. Now they live in a small courtyard in the North City, a grandson, a daughter-in-law and a grandmother.
Li Yuchun and Xu Qian knocked on the door of the courtyard. The one who opened the door was a beautiful and weak looking woman.
She was washing clothes and wearing a coarse cloth skirt, which was very simple.
In the yard, a child was riding a bamboo horse, and an old woman with white hair was feeding chickens.
Seeing Li Yuchun's watchman's bad clothes, the old woman and the little woman's face changed greatly. The latter is submissive and shivering, while the former is very pungent. Once the dustpan is lost, she cries and screams:
"the officers and soldiers bully people, and they bully people again. You can force me to death. Even if I die, I will let the villagers see the faces of you bastards..."
it's not surprising that the old woman was tough when she was young. After all, it was the purpose of human beings A wife.
Li Yuchun kicked a few feet and said, "shut up. If you make any more noise, you'll catch your grandson and sell him."
It seems that she has touched the old lady's scales. She is really quiet. She stares at Li Yuchun and Xu Qian bitterly.
Xu Qi'an closed the door of the courtyard, went around the chicken excrement, stepped in front of the old woman and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you a few questions and answer them honestly."
When the old woman nodded, he asked, "is Master Lu the elder of the human tooth organization?"
The old woman's eyes twinkled and said, "I'm a woman. I don't know anything."
"Oh, I don't know anything."Xu Qi'an suddenly nodded, pulled the little woman into the room, and said with a grim smile, "the little women are very beautiful. I went into the room once."
Embarrassed, the little woman blushed and looked at Xu Qian secretly, but she didn't call.
Xu Qian became angry and said, "sell it to the kiln again."
Then the little woman screamed: "mother, help me..."
"sell the little rabbit, too." He added.
The old woman hugged her grandson and said in a loud voice, "no, no, I say everything."
The old woman told Xu Qi'an that Master Lu was originally a loafer. He had nothing to do all day. He was brave and had made friends with a group of people in the market.
Until one day, someone asked him to "get" a few people. Later, from entrustment to incorporation, the renyazi organization was born. Master Lu and his brothers entered the organization and made a fortune.
"When did this happen?" Xu Qian asked.
The old woman recalled, frowned and said, "if you remember correctly, it's Joan of arc's 26th year."
Her poor life ushered in a turning year, which was of great significance and impressive to her.
In the 26th year of Joan of arc, how could she be a little familiar?... Xu Qi'an muttered for a moment, his body suddenly shocked, and his expression suddenly solidified on his face.
According to the living records of the former Emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of arc, the former Emperor invited di Zongdao to the palace for the first time.
According to the living records of the former Emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of arc, the king of Huai and Yuanjing were hunting in the depth of Nanyuan, and they were attacked by Xiong PI, and their bodyguards were killed and injured.
In the 26th year of Joan of arc, someone asked Lord Lu to secretly plunder the population, and these people were secretly sent to the palace. It can be inferred that the tudun array of Pingyuan Bofu was built in the 26th year of Zhende.
All in the same year.
passed for a long time, Xu Qian murmured herself with all her strength, "Zong Dao, the head of the earth..."

The March lasted for three hours, and finally arrived at the camp site of Chuzhou army before dusk.
After ten thousand troops arrived, Jiang Luzhong set up camp skillfully. With a group of generals, Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen, Jiang Luzhong entered the military account of Yang Yan, commander of Chuzhou.
Yang Yan and the senior generals of Chuzhou had been waiting for a long time.
Yang Yan looks around at Jiang Luzhong and others, pauses slightly on Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen, and says coldly:
"the war in the north is not optimistic. We are short of guns and crossbows, and we are short of military supplies, so we have been mainly restraining and harassing. There is no way to inflict heavy damage on the Yasukuni army. "
Jiang Lu Zhong nodded slightly. The military supplies in Chuzhou were limited. Most of the guns and crossbows had to stay in the territory to guard the city... It's impossible to transfer out all the troops, otherwise the cavalry of Yasukuni will attack Chuzhou, and the chassis of Dafeng army will be completely scattered.
Jiang Luzhong looked at the deputy general beside him. The latter understood and reported the total amount of grain and grass, military supplies and the proportion of cavalry, infantry and artillery.
After listening, Yang Yan nodded with satisfaction and looked at the deputy general beside him.
Now the adjutant and the commander of the northern army are fighting in full swing.
"Yaoman's individual combat power is stronger than that of Yasukuni, and their arms are richer, but they are still defeated by Yasukuni. In recent days, we have analyzed the reasons and classified them into three points: first, the military literacy of demon man is not as good as that of Yasukuni. Demon man has the blood of gods and demons, and once he is hot blooded, he will lose his mind. In small battles, that's the advantage. But in a large-scale campaign involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, this is a fatal flaw.
"Second, sorcery. The battlefield is the home of the wizard. You are all experienced generals. I don't need to add more details. Most importantly, there is a shaman in the Yasukuni army. It is because of his existence that Zhu Jiu, who has not recovered from his injury, is bound up.
"Third, Xiahou Yushu is a top-level handsome man, and the level of campaign command has reached a perfect level. In the face of such a character, unless he is crushed with absolute strength, it is difficult to defeat him with so-called ingenious tactics. "
After a pause, he continued: "now the army fighting with us at the border of Chuzhou is the left army of Yasukuni, and the leader is tuobaji, sipingwufu. Under his command, there are 3000 armored troops, 5000 light cavalry, and 10000 infantry and artillery. Tuobaji intends to kill us at the border of Chuzhou. "
Ready to die at the border of Chuzhou, that is to say, at the moment, the distance between the two sides is not far.
Sure enough, Jiang said, "so if we want to go north to help the demon man, we must first win the Tuoba sacrifice."
Yang Yan nodded slowly: "only by defeating tuobaji's army can we have no worries. The problem is that as far as cavalry is concerned, we are far from rivals of the Yasukuni cavalry. As for artillery, they were also equipped with a lot of artillery and crossbows. We have an overwhelming advantage in terms of quantity, but not in other aspects. "
One of the generals said with a smile, "so you're here just in time. Now we have enough troops and armaments. Our troops are so expensive and fast that we can go straight to war and make Tuoba sacrifice. We'll be unprepared."
The generals in Chuzhou also smile. They have been waiting for reinforcements for a long time.
Jiang Lvzhong nodded slowly: "do you know their position?"
Yang Yan "well" A: "only know the specific location, there are scouts staring at, an hour back to resume life once, so far, no exception."
Jiang LV looked around the crowd and said, "this battle must be decided quickly. Otherwise, with the ability of a wizard, there will be more and more corpse soldiers fighting for a long time. We may not be able to burn our bodies in time on the battlefield. "
Witches have the ability to manipulate corpses, so the best way is to burn dead corpses on the spot, so as to effectively curb the number of corpse soldiers.
People started a discussion on this topic.
"The magician of the sky warden will give us the location, and then we will have a few rounds of bombardment. Then the archers and the blunderbuss advance... "
" but if the other side withdraws, the other forces can't catch up except the cavalry. If the cavalry pursues, it will be the sheep entering the tiger's mouth. "
"How about taking advantage of the large number of troops to form a encirclement?"
"No, to encircle is to disperse our forces. On the contrary, we lose our advantage. The other side can break through in any direction, or even launch a counterattack."
"We have to be on guard against the divination of witches. If only we had high-quality magicians to cover up our secrets."
"Diviners can only predict their own good or bad fortune. If they are not in danger in this battle, they can't calculate it. Oh, if the other party has a Sanpin Linghui master, then I don't say it. "
In the fierce fight, Xu Erlang takes a look at Chu Yuanzhen, who was once the number one scholar. He shut his eyes and didn't insert the meaning of discussion.
Xu Erlang could only keep silent. A quarter of an hour later, the generals were still discussing, but they had passed the stage of disagreement and began to formulate details and strategies.
Xu Erlang takes another look at Chu Yuanzhen. He still doesn't speak, but he coughs and raises his arm"Listen to me, gentlemen?"
The discussion stopped, and the generals frowned and stared at the only scholar in the army tent.
Xu Xinnian was not qualified to sit here, whether it was his status as a governor or his qualifications. But Jiang Lu and Xu Qi'an are friends who have been to Jiaofang department together and investigated the case in Yunzhou. Naturally, they pay special attention to the younger brother of their whoring friends and comrades in arms.
Yang Yan, not to mention, glanced at the displeased generals and nodded quietly: "it doesn't hurt to say anything about Xu Jin."
With the tacit consent of the commander of Chuzhou, Xu Xinnian was relieved and asked the general on the spot: "what's our goal?"
A general frowned and replied in a deep voice: "it's natural to kill the army of Tuoba sacrifice and go to the north to help the demons."
Xu Erlang nodded: "so our real goal is to rescue the demons, not to fight with tuobaji."
"What's the difference?" Some generals sneered and asked questions.
Xu Erlang took a look at Yang Yan and saw that he was listening attentively without any sign of interrupting, so he said:
"of course, there are. When we march and fight, we attack the city first and attack the heart first. Winning at the lowest cost is what we have to do. If you only know how to act recklessly and fill in a victory with the lives of soldiers, it's rough... "
" cough cough! " Chu Yuanzhen suddenly coughs and interrupts Xu Xinnian's speech.
"Attack the city for the bottom and attack the heart for the top" is the concept in Xu Qi'an's military book, which you may not have read. This book is called the art of war by Sun Tzu, which was recently written by Xu Ning Yan. By the way, I'd like to introduce to you. This is Xu Qi'an's cousin. He's a top two Jinshi of this subject. Well, you can continue with Xu Jin. " Chu Yuan said with a smile.
How can Xu Yinluo know the art of war? It's wonderful to attack the city first and attack the heart first......
it turns out that this white faced scholar is Xu Yinluo's cousin......
the generals are full of ideas. When they know that Xu Xinnian is Xu Yinluo's cousin, they put away their displeasure and adjust their attitude.
Wu Fu, who had just sneered and asked questions, showed a friendly smile and said, "Xu Jin, please continue. Let's listen."
The attitude is quite different.
Xu Qi'an's deeds of redressing the grievances of 380000 people in Chuzhou City and Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, have long been spread all over Chuzhou.
Some of the officers on the scene were Chuzhou natives, who were very grateful to Xu Qian.
Of course, it's not local soldiers or officers who have the same respect for Xu Yinluo. When talking about him, who doesn't brag and give a thumbs up?
This unruly white faced scholar, since he is Xu Yinluo's cousin, is not unruly, but just like his cousin, he is a brave and talented person.
Well, his talent has yet to be confirmed, but it does not prevent the generals from treating him differently.
Xu Ci's old face is still a little thin. There's a cousin with terrible reputation who doesn't know how to use it. If he moves out early, who won't sell you face? I have to help you... Chu Yuanzhen shakes his head.
I don't need elder brother's protection..... Xu Xinnian muttered haughtily, took a deep breath and continued:
"getting rid of Tuoba sacrifice is our goal. The purpose of leaving this army at the border of Chuzhou is to contain us, kill our troops, create time for them to kill demons and reduce the pressure.
"If we really fight, even if we win, it's only a partial victory, and it's not good for the overall situation."
Ginger law frowned: "we know that, what do you think?"
The generals looked at him one after another. They knew the truth, but if they didn't kill the enemy, how could they go north to help?
Xu Xinnian looked around the crowd and said, "our advantage is that we have more people. I think the advantage of seizing this point is not to fight more with less, but to make rational use of the number and deploy the army."
He stopped for a moment and said, "why don't you send a large army to make a detour?"
Hearing this, the generals were extremely disappointed.
Only Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong meditated.
"How? If we don't solve the problem of Tuoba sacrifice, we should make a detour rashly and wait for others to make dumplings? "
"Xu Qian, your method, well, is OK, but it doesn't apply to this time."
The generals said euphemistically.
Compared with his elder brother, this is far worse.
Xu Xinnian propped up his hands on the table and said faintly, "listen to me. Just now I heard you say that the number of Tuoba sacrifice troops is about 18000, right?"
Yang Yan's deputy general nodded: "if logistics and militia are not included, it is true."
Xu new year asked: "18000 people, how about siege?"
One of the generals said with a smile: "delusion. It's impossible to break through a small city of Chuzhou, even if it's only ten thousand people. Besides, there are hundreds of strongholds in the border defense line, which can be rescued at any time. "
Yang Yan's deputy general added: "we have been strong and clear."
Xu Xinnian laughed: "in this case, it's not difficult for us to transfer 10000 troops from Chuzhou."Yang Yan's deputy general pondered: "of the 20000 people you brought, 10000 will stay in Chuzhou City. It's no problem to transfer those people. It won't affect the garrison
Xu new year's smile deepened: "then I venture to ask, in the face of Tuoba sacrifice, not to kill the enemy, but to fight and protect myself. How many troops are enough?"
This time, Yang Yan replied: "twenty thousand troops are more than enough. This place is not far from Chuzhou. If the deployment is good, Chuzhou garrison can help, then fifteen thousand is enough."
Xu new year nodded: "conservative estimate, or leave 20000. At this time, there were more than 40000 soldiers in the barracks. Draw out 20000 to make peace with 10000 troops in Chuzhou City. The 30000 men and horses made a detour to the north and joined the demon man.
"As for tuobaji, there are 20000 people left to fight and confuse each other, so they don't have to worry about making dumplings."
There was a moment's silence in the military account, and the generals stopped talking and measured the feasibility of the plan.
"We also have warlocks. We hope that Qi skill can help us find the enemy. Even if they react and go north to help us, we can hold each other down."
"If the enemy moves, we will move. If the enemy can't move, we'll drag them. In this way, we can not only help the demons, but also hold back the 18000 people of tuobaji. "
"Well, it's not very pleasant, but this strategy is really feasible..."
the generals on the scene are rich in experience. Whether Xu's new year's strategy will work or not, just a little balance, you can have a general idea in your mind.
In the military accounts, the senior generals looked at Xu's new year's eyes and recognized him a little more, or at least his brain.
I think he is a person who can participate in the discussion.
Yang Yan breathed out a smile: "yes, this plan is feasible, details, have to discuss."
In the military accounts, the senior generals looked at Xu's new year's eyes and recognized him a little more, or at least his brain.
I think he is a person who can participate in the discussion.
Xu new year breathes out a breath, he is not so proud, military accounts, come up with a good idea, does not mean that he is really a genius. There must be a time for these generals to come up with ideas.
It is not enough to March and fight by just one stratagem. The knowledge inside is too profound. When it comes to the location of the latrine in the military camp, there are unique considerations.
Cijiu really has a talent in the art of war. What he lacks is the ability to command battles. At present, it's good to be a military strategist.
...
"the national teacher is very observant!"
Xu Qi'an first boasted, and then analyzed: "there is indeed collusion between the head of di Zongdao and Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty. What does this mean? As early as in Chuzhou, I already knew about it. "
Besides, the head of the land clan doesn't recognize his six relatives, and his mind is full of evildoers and women. Isn't it necessary to check his line?
The beautiful national teacher, who was full of city and country, gave him a light glance: "isn't it something you are good at investigating cases? If I know, I need you to investigate?"
It's reasonable. I have nothing to say.
Next, Luo Yuheng asked him about his cultivation and pointed out his practice of heart sword. After learning that Xu Qian was at the "meaning" level, Luo Yuheng pondered for a long time and said:
"moves are moves, meaning is meaning, no meaning. What you need to do now is to understand the meaning, not to merge the tricks. Put the cart before the horse. "
But I don't have "meaning". If white whoring belongs to meaning, I'm at the top of four grades now. My aunt..... Xu Qi'an shrugs her head.
"If you want to be quick, you will not be able to achieve it. It will take others several years or ten years to realize it. You have only been practicing for more than a month." Luo Yuheng warned: "don't worry."
After a pause, she added, "but I hope that you can achieve it in two years."
Huh? Why do you have to pay attention to it in two years?... Xu Qi'an nodded: "I will sink my heart."
Luo Yuheng nodded and said nothing more. He turned into a golden light.
But she did not return to Lingbao temple. She turned around in the air and landed in a small courtyard not far from Xu Fu.
The small yard is full of flowers, and the air is sweet and greasy. A woman of mediocre appearance is lying on a bamboo chair, eating precocious oranges, showing her teeth while she is sour, but she can't bear to eat.
"Why do you come to me again? What if someone finds out?" Mu Nanzhi didn't say well.
"No one can see me but the supervisor." Luo Yuheng said faintly: "if you think that the prison will covet your beauty, then I won't come."
"Then I know myself well." Mu Nanzhi hum twice.
Luo Yuheng ignored her and went straight to the side of the water tank. He took a look at the nine color lotus root, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's been a good time." She looked away at the princess.
"I feel my waist is thick." The princess pinched her waist and complained, "it's all Xu Qi'an's fault that the dog thief always takes me out for a big meal."Luo Yuheng smiles. When she was the imperial concubine of huaiwang, she had all kinds of delicacies, but she always didn't like them. Now she is a mediocre little woman in the market. She has a better appetite than before.
Trapped in the palace for 20 years, she was finally free, and her face was different.
At this time, if she shows her true colors, she must be the most moving woman in the world.
Luo Yu Heng man said, "Xu Qi'an is leaving the capital. Will you follow him?"
The princess quickly shook her head and denied: "of course not. Why should I go with you? I'm not his concubine. I just borrow some money from him to stay outside his house."
Luo Yuheng is very satisfied with this answer, light way: "remember your words, if you rebel, I will sell you to the kiln."
Mu Nanzhi said suspiciously, "what's the matter with you?"
Luo Yuheng ignored him.
The princess threw an orange: "here you are. I bought it at the market this morning. It's very valuable."
Luo Yuheng waved his hand and beat the orange back. He didn't look at it. "I don't eat it."
The princess said, "tut Tut, I really envy a woman like you who doesn't go to the toilet."
Luo Yuheng frowned slightly: "the way you talk now is like a vulgar market woman."
The princess laughed.
On the other hand, Xu Qian thought about how to find a breakthrough here.
"The Taoist priest of Di Zong can't go to check. First of all, I don't know where Di Zong is. If I know, I can't go either. Taoist priest Jinlian will report me and give my head away. But now, the dragon can't go there any more, because it's too dangerous and there's no harvest.
"I've finished reading the daily life record. There's no major clue. How can I find out? No, what am I looking for? "
Xu Qi'an reviewed his clues and ideas. At first, he found out that emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty supported Zhenbei King's slaughtering of the city, and the effort was not proportional to the reward. There was a problem here.
After checking for so long, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty did have a big problem, but Xu Qi'an didn't have a clear answer and direction about what it was.
"What I want to do is to uncover the mystery of emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty. Soul pills, abduction and trafficking in people and dragon veins are all clues, but there is no one line to connect them. In the soul pill, there is the shadow of the land patriarch, and the dragon vein also has the shadow of the land patriarch....
"Luo Yuheng's idea is right, and the land patriarch may be the line connecting everything. But how do I find the entry point?
"I'm also in a wrong way of thinking. To find a breakthrough point, I don't have to start with the local patriarch himself, but also from what he has done. Go to the watchman's Yamen. "
He went straight out of the Yamen on horseback.
At the gate of the watchman's Yamen, as soon as the horse's reins are lost and the robes are shaken, entering the Yamen is like going home.
The guard didn't stop him. He gave him rein to watch the horse.
After entering the yamen, I found song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao in a circle. Maybe I went to listen to the music while patrolling the streets.
Fortunately, Li Yuchun is a dedicated and good silver Gong. Seeing Xu Qian's visit, Li Yuchun is very happy. He pulls him into the room happily and looks back fiercely.
"Don't worry, that slovenly girl didn't follow." Xu Qi'an knows this superior very well.
"No, don't say it, don't say it..."
Li Yuchun waved her hand: "even today, I still feel goose bumps when I think of her."
It seems that Zhong Li has left a heavy psychological shadow on brother chun. It's as big as two rooms and one living room..... Xu Qi'an doesn't talk nonsense. He puts forward the purpose of his visit:
"chief, I want to see the confession of Uncle Pingyuan's peddler."
"I'll do it for you." Li Yuchun didn't ask much. He beckoned for the official and told him to go to the document library to get it.
For the files of such cases, it is not even necessary for the watchman to go in person. It is enough to send an official.
They sat down for tea and chatted. Li Yuchun said, "by the way, Guangxiao will get married at the end of the year. The day has been set."
"That's a good thing!"
Xu Qian showed a sincere smile and said that Zhu Guangxiao could finally get rid of song Tingfeng, a bad friend, and leave on the road of no return.
On his way to Yunzhou to investigate the case last year, Zhu Guangxiao said that when the Yunzhou case was over, he would return to the capital and marry his childhood sweetheart.
has to make complaints about it again... Xu Qian's smile is hidden beneath the smile of his previous life.
Speaking of all, the worst thing in my last life was not getting married. College students, high school students, and childhood friends got married one after another. They gave money and gave it again. Now they have no chance to come back.
Just think about it.
Not long after, the officials returned with the files of the human teeth organization, a thick stack.
After the death of Uncle Pingyuan, most of the leaders and minions of the human teeth organization were captured, and only a few of them were at large. The prisoners had been dragged to the vegetable market for questioning.Only the confession from the trial.
Xu Qi'an directly skips the confession of the minions and focuses on reading the confession of the minions in the organization.
The nominal leader of the organization is a man called "black scorpion".
Black scorpion's identity is mysterious. Before the watchman's Yamen had time to lock him down, Hengyuan killed Pingyuan uncle and disrupted the plan of the watchman.
As for these small leaders, they don't even know that they are working for Pingyuan uncle. They are only responsible for luring and abducting single children, women and even adult men.
Men are sold as slaves and labourers, while women are sold into kilns or left to be played by brothers in the organization.
For Pingyuan uncle secretly to the palace of the transfer of population, even more ignorant.
"As Uncle Pingyuan, I'm sure I won't personally approach the human teeth organization. This black scorpion is an important person. Before the watchman could lock him down, Hengyuan killed him in Pingyuan Bofu.... "
Xu Qi'an took a breath," does the boa constrictor in the story of Fuxiang refer to this black scorpion? He knew that the watchman was checking himself, so he secretly reported to emperor yuan Jingdi. After getting the advice of emperor yuan Jingdi, he disclosed the information to Hengyuan and killed people with Hengyuan's hand? "
The guess flashed through my mind.
It's just a flash, the end of black scorpion, or escape from the capital, or have been killed.
There is no need for this person to check.
Xu Qi'an continued to read the confession. Looking at it, a trivial detail attracted his attention.
There is a confession from a little leader named "Dao Ye". In the confession, Dao Ye mentioned that when he joined the profession, he was with a senior named Lu Ye.
This Master Lu, who calls himself the elder of the human teeth organization, was followed by master Dao when he was young. Master Lu is getting old. He slowly retreats and supports his confidant.
The biggest problem with this message is that Mr. Dao started his career in his early twenties, and now he has three in his forties.
Before Dao ye, there was another deer ye, which means that human dental tissue existed for at least 30 years.
The human tooth organization has existed for at least 30 years, which is a conservative estimate. Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty only practiced Taoism for 21 years..... Xu Qi'an took a deep breath:
"is Master Lu's family still there?"
He handed the confession to Li Yuchun.
Li Yuchun shook his head: "this case is not handled. It's not clear. I'll help you to ask."
He took the confession, got up and left. About a quarter of an hour later, Li Yuchun returned and said, "Master Lu died long ago. According to the law of Dafeng, he sold the population a little, and was sentenced to lingchi, beheading, exile and censure according to the seriousness of the case. When the father dies and the son pays, the crime is reduced to the second grade.
"Lord Lu's crime must be sentenced to lingchi. Because of his illness, his son paid back and his crime was reduced to second class. At that time, he had already been exiled to the border. Lu Ye's hairy wife is still alive. "
Xu Qi'an drank the tea, got up and said, "take me to find her."
In his early years, although he made a lot of money, he knew that his career was "dangerous", so he left behind and bought a house in the inner city, leaving a lot of property.
After his son's exile, Master Lu's first wife took his family to live in the inner courtyard. She could still live a life of luxury.
However, the watchmen are all hob meat, extorting the family members of the traffickers every so often, squeezing all the black money they earn.
So Mr. Lu's family moved back to the outer city. Now they live in a small courtyard in the North City, a grandson, a daughter-in-law and a grandmother.
Li Yuchun and Xu Qian knocked on the door of the courtyard. The one who opened the door was a beautiful and weak looking woman.
She was washing clothes and wearing a coarse cloth skirt, which was very simple.
In the yard, a child was riding a bamboo horse, and an old woman with white hair was feeding chickens.
Seeing Li Yuchun's watchman's bad clothes, the old woman and the little woman's face changed greatly. The latter is submissive and shivering, while the former is very pungent. Once the dustpan is lost, she cries and screams:
"the officers and soldiers bully people, and they bully people again. You can force me to death. Even if I die, I will let the villagers see the faces of you bastards..."
it's not surprising that the old woman was tough when she was young. After all, it was the purpose of human beings A wife.
Li Yuchun kicked a few feet and said, "shut up. If you make any more noise, you'll catch your grandson and sell him."
It seems that she has touched the old lady's scales. She is really quiet. She stares at Li Yuchun and Xu Qian bitterly.
Xu Qi'an closed the door of the courtyard, went around the chicken excrement, stepped in front of the old woman and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you a few questions and answer them honestly."
When the old woman nodded, he asked, "is Master Lu the elder of the human tooth organization?"
The old woman's eyes twinkled and said, "I'm a woman. I don't know anything."
"Oh, I don't know anything."Xu Qi'an suddenly nodded, pulled the little woman into the room, and said with a grim smile, "the little women are very beautiful. I went into the room once."
Embarrassed, the little woman blushed and looked at Xu Qian secretly, but she didn't call.
Xu Qian became angry and said, "sell it to the kiln again."
Then the little woman screamed: "mother, help me..."
"sell the little rabbit, too." He added.
The old woman hugged her grandson and said in a loud voice, "no, no, I say everything."
The old woman told Xu Qi'an that Master Lu was originally a loafer. He had nothing to do all day. He was brave and had made friends with a group of people in the market.
Until one day, someone asked him to "get" a few people. Later, from entrustment to incorporation, the renyazi organization was born. Master Lu and his brothers entered the organization and made a fortune.
"When did this happen?" Xu Qian asked.
The old woman recalled, frowned and said, "if you remember correctly, it's Joan of arc's 26th year."
Her poor life ushered in a turning year, which was of great significance and impressive to her.
In the 26th year of Joan of arc, how could she be a little familiar?... Xu Qi'an muttered for a moment, his body suddenly shocked, and his expression suddenly solidified on his face.
According to the living records of the former Emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of arc, the former Emperor invited di Zongdao to the palace for the first time.
According to the living records of the former Emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of arc, the king of Huai and Yuanjing were hunting in the depth of Nanyuan, and they were attacked by Xiong PI, and their bodyguards were killed and injured.
In the 26th year of Joan of arc, someone asked Lord Lu to secretly plunder the population, and these people were secretly sent to the palace. It can be inferred that the tudun array of Pingyuan Bofu was built in the 26th year of Zhende.
All in the same year.
passed for a long time, Xu Qian murmured herself with all her strength, "Zong Dao, the head of the earth..."
.....
PS: the awesome chapter is to make up for the recent update. Ask for subscription and monthly ticket.
The March lasted for three hours, and finally arrived at the camp site of Chuzhou army before dusk. After ten thousand troops arrived, Jiang Luzhong set up camp skillfully. With a group of generals, Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen, Jiang Luzhong entered the military account of Yang Yan, commander of Chuzhou. Yang Yan and the senior generals of Chuzhou had been waiting for a long time. Yang Yan looks around at Jiang Luzhong and others, pauses slightly on Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen, and says coldly: "the war in the north is not optimistic. We are short of guns and crossbows, and we are short of military supplies, so we have been mainly restraining and harassing. There is no way to inflict heavy damage on the Yasukuni army. " Jiang Lu Zhong nodded slightly. The military supplies in Chuzhou were limited. Most of the guns and crossbows had to stay in the territory to guard the city... It's impossible to transfer out all the troops, otherwise the cavalry of Yasukuni will attack Chuzhou, and the chassis of Dafeng army will be completely scattered. Jiang Luzhong looked at the deputy general beside him. The latter understood and reported the total amount of grain and grass, military supplies and the proportion of cavalry, infantry and artillery. After listening, Yang Yan nodded with satisfaction and looked at the deputy general beside him. Now the adjutant and the commander of the northern army are fighting in full swing. "Yaoman's individual combat power is stronger than that of Yasukuni, and their arms are richer, but they are still defeated by Yasukuni. In recent days, we have analyzed the reasons and classified them into three points: first, the military literacy of demon man is not as good as that of Yasukuni. Demon man has the blood of gods and demons, and once he is hot blooded, he will lose his mind. In small battles, that's the advantage. But in a large-scale campaign involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, this is a fatal flaw. "Second, sorcery. The battlefield is the home of the wizard. You are all experienced generals. I don't need to add more details. Most importantly, there is a shaman in the Yasukuni army. It is because of his existence that Zhu Jiu, who has not recovered from his injury, is bound up. "Third, Xiahou Yushu is a top-level handsome man, and the level of campaign command has reached a perfect level. In the face of such a character, unless he is crushed with absolute strength, it is difficult to defeat him with so-called ingenious tactics. " After a pause, he continued: "now the army fighting with us at the border of Chuzhou is the left army of Yasukuni, and the leader is tuobaji, sipingwufu. Under his command, there are 3000 armored troops, 5000 light cavalry, and 10000 infantry and artillery. Tuobaji intends to kill us at the border of Chuzhou. " Ready to die at the border of Chuzhou, that is to say, at the moment, the distance between the two sides is not far. Sure enough, Jiang said, "so if we want to go north to help the demon man, we must first win the Tuoba sacrifice." Yang Yan nodded slowly: "only by defeating tuobaji's army can we have no worries. The problem is that as far as cavalry is concerned, we are far from rivals of the Yasukuni cavalry. As for artillery, they were also equipped with a lot of artillery and crossbows. We have an overwhelming advantage in terms of quantity, but not in other aspects. " One of the generals said with a smile, "so you're here just in time. Now we have enough troops and armaments. Our troops are so expensive and fast that we can go straight to war and make Tuoba sacrifice. We'll be unprepared." The generals in Chuzhou also smile. They have been waiting for reinforcements for a long time. Jiang Lvzhong nodded slowly: "do you know their position?" Yang Yan "well" A: "only know the specific location, there are scouts staring at, an hour back to resume life once, so far, no exception." Jiang LV looked around the crowd and said, "this battle must be decided quickly. Otherwise, with the ability of a wizard, there will be more and more corpse soldiers fighting for a long time. We may not be able to burn our bodies in time on the battlefield. " Witches have the ability to manipulate corpses, so the best way is to burn dead corpses on the spot, so as to effectively curb the number of corpse soldiers. People started a discussion on this topic. "The magician of the sky warden will give us the location, and then we will have a few rounds of bombardment. Then the archers and the blunderbuss advance... "" but if the other side withdraws, the other forces can't catch up except the cavalry. If the cavalry pursues, it will be the sheep entering the tiger's mouth. " "How about taking advantage of the large number of troops to form a encirclement?" "No, to encircle is to disperse our forces. On the contrary, we lose our advantage. The other side can break through in any direction, or even launch a counterattack." "We have to be on guard against the divination of witches. If only we had high-quality magicians to cover up our secrets." "Diviners can only predict their own good or bad fortune. If they are not in danger in this battle, they can't calculate it. Oh, if the other party has a Sanpin Linghui master, then I don't say it. " In the fierce fight, Xu Erlang takes a look at Chu Yuanzhen, who was once the number one scholar. He shut his eyes and didn't insert the meaning of discussion. Xu Erlang could only keep silent. A quarter of an hour later, the generals were still discussing, but they had passed the stage of disagreement and began to formulate details and strategies. Xu Erlang takes another look at Chu Yuanzhen. He still doesn't speak, but he coughs and raises his arm"Listen to me, gentlemen?" The discussion stopped, and the generals frowned and stared at the only scholar in the army tent. Xu Xinnian was not qualified to sit here, whether it was his status as a governor or his qualifications. But Jiang Lu and Xu Qi'an are friends who have been to Jiaofang department together and investigated the case in Yunzhou. Naturally, they pay special attention to the younger brother of their whoring friends and comrades in arms. Yang Yan, not to mention, glanced at the displeased generals and nodded quietly: "it doesn't hurt to say anything about Xu Jin." With the tacit consent of the commander of Chuzhou, Xu Xinnian was relieved and asked the general on the spot: "what's our goal?" A general frowned and replied in a deep voice: "it's natural to kill the army of Tuoba sacrifice and go to the north to help the demons." Xu Erlang nodded: "so our real goal is to rescue the demons, not to fight with tuobaji." "What's the difference?" Some generals sneered and asked questions. Xu Erlang took a look at Yang Yan and saw that he was listening attentively without any sign of interrupting, so he said: "of course, there are. When we march and fight, we attack the city first and attack the heart first. Winning at the lowest cost is what we have to do. If you only know how to act recklessly and fill in a victory with the lives of soldiers, it's rough... "" cough cough! " Chu Yuanzhen suddenly coughs and interrupts Xu Xinnian's speech. "Attack the city for the bottom and attack the heart for the top" is the concept in Xu Qi'an's military book, which you may not have read. This book is called the art of war by Sun Tzu, which was recently written by Xu Ning Yan. By the way, I'd like to introduce to you. This is Xu Qi'an's cousin. He's a top two Jinshi of this subject. Well, you can continue with Xu Jin. " Chu Yuan said with a smile. How can Xu Yinluo know the art of war? It's wonderful to attack the city first and attack the heart first...... it turns out that this white faced scholar is Xu Yinluo's cousin...... the generals are full of ideas. When they know that Xu Xinnian is Xu Yinluo's cousin, they put away their displeasure and adjust their attitude. Wu Fu, who had just sneered and asked questions, showed a friendly smile and said, "Xu Jin, please continue. Let's listen." The attitude is quite different. Xu Qi'an's deeds of redressing the grievances of 380000 people in Chuzhou City and Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, have long been spread all over Chuzhou. Some of the officers on the scene were Chuzhou natives, who were very grateful to Xu Qian. Of course, it's not local soldiers or officers who have the same respect for Xu Yinluo. When talking about him, who doesn't brag and give a thumbs up? This unruly white faced scholar, since he is Xu Yinluo's cousin, is not unruly, but just like his cousin, he is a brave and talented person. Well, his talent has yet to be confirmed, but it does not prevent the generals from treating him differently. Xu Ci's old face is still a little thin. There's a cousin with terrible reputation who doesn't know how to use it. If he moves out early, who won't sell you face? I have to help you... Chu Yuanzhen shakes his head. I don't need elder brother's protection..... Xu Xinnian muttered haughtily, took a deep breath and continued: "getting rid of Tuoba sacrifice is our goal. The purpose of leaving this army at the border of Chuzhou is to contain us, kill our troops, create time for them to kill demons and reduce the pressure. "If we really fight, even if we win, it's only a partial victory, and it's not good for the overall situation." Ginger law frowned: "we know that, what do you think?" The generals looked at him one after another. They knew the truth, but if they didn't kill the enemy, how could they go north to help? Xu Xinnian looked around the crowd and said, "our advantage is that we have more people. I think the advantage of seizing this point is not to fight more with less, but to make rational use of the number and deploy the army." He stopped for a moment and said, "why don't you send a large army to make a detour?" Hearing this, the generals were extremely disappointed. Only Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong meditated. "How? If we don't solve the problem of Tuoba sacrifice, we should make a detour rashly and wait for others to make dumplings? " "Xu Qian, your method, well, is OK, but it doesn't apply to this time." The generals said euphemistically. Compared with his elder brother, this is far worse. Xu Xinnian propped up his hands on the table and said faintly, "listen to me. Just now I heard you say that the number of Tuoba sacrifice troops is about 18000, right?" Yang Yan's deputy general nodded: "if logistics and militia are not included, it is true." Xu new year asked: "18000 people, how about siege?" One of the generals said with a smile: "delusion. It's impossible to break through a small city of Chuzhou, even if it's only ten thousand people. Besides, there are hundreds of strongholds in the border defense line, which can be rescued at any time. " Yang Yan's deputy general added: "we have been strong and clear." Xu Xinnian laughed: "in this case, it's not difficult for us to transfer 10000 troops from Chuzhou."Yang Yan's deputy general pondered: "of the 20000 people you brought, 10000 will stay in Chuzhou City. It's no problem to transfer those people. It won't affect the garrison Xu new year's smile deepened: "then I venture to ask, in the face of Tuoba sacrifice, not to kill the enemy, but to fight and protect myself. How many troops are enough?" This time, Yang Yan replied: "twenty thousand troops are more than enough. This place is not far from Chuzhou. If the deployment is good, Chuzhou garrison can help, then fifteen thousand is enough." Xu new year nodded: "conservative estimate, or leave 20000. At this time, there were more than 40000 soldiers in the barracks. Draw out 20000 to make peace with 10000 troops in Chuzhou City. The 30000 men and horses made a detour to the north and joined the demon man. "As for tuobaji, there are 20000 people left to fight and confuse each other, so they don't have to worry about making dumplings." There was a moment's silence in the military account, and the generals stopped talking and measured the feasibility of the plan. "We also have warlocks. We hope that Qi skill can help us find the enemy. Even if they react and go north to help us, we can hold each other down." "If the enemy moves, we will move. If the enemy can't move, we'll drag them. In this way, we can not only help the demons, but also hold back the 18000 people of tuobaji. " "Well, it's not very pleasant, but this strategy is really feasible..." the generals on the scene are rich in experience. Whether Xu's new year's strategy will work or not, just a little balance, you can have a general idea in your mind. In the military accounts, the senior generals looked at Xu's new year's eyes and recognized him a little more, or at least his brain. I think he is a person who can participate in the discussion. Yang Yan breathed out a smile: "yes, this plan is feasible, details, have to discuss." In the military accounts, the senior generals looked at Xu's new year's eyes and recognized him a little more, or at least his brain. I think he is a person who can participate in the discussion. Xu new year breathes out a breath, he is not so proud, military accounts, come up with a good idea, does not mean that he is really a genius. There must be a time for these generals to come up with ideas. It is not enough to March and fight by just one stratagem. The knowledge inside is too profound. When it comes to the location of the latrine in the military camp, there are unique considerations. Cijiu really has a talent in the art of war. What he lacks is the ability to command battles. At present, it's good to be a military strategist. ... "the national teacher is very observant!" Xu Qi'an first boasted, and then analyzed: "there is indeed collusion between the head of di Zongdao and Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty. What does this mean? As early as in Chuzhou, I already knew about it. " Besides, the head of the land clan doesn't recognize his six relatives, and his mind is full of evildoers and women. Isn't it necessary to check his line? The beautiful national teacher, who was full of city and country, gave him a light glance: "isn't it something you are good at investigating cases? If I know, I need you to investigate?" It's reasonable. I have nothing to say. Next, Luo Yuheng asked him about his cultivation and pointed out his practice of heart sword. After learning that Xu Qian was at the "meaning" level, Luo Yuheng pondered for a long time and said: "moves are moves, meaning is meaning, no meaning. What you need to do now is to understand the meaning, not to merge the tricks. Put the cart before the horse. " But I don't have "meaning". If white whoring belongs to meaning, I'm at the top of four grades now. My aunt..... Xu Qi'an shrugs her head. "If you want to be quick, you will not be able to achieve it. It will take others several years or ten years to realize it. You have only been practicing for more than a month." Luo Yuheng warned: "don't worry." After a pause, she added, "but I hope that you can achieve it in two years." Huh? Why do you have to pay attention to it in two years?... Xu Qi'an nodded: "I will sink my heart." Luo Yuheng nodded and said nothing more. He turned into a golden light. But she did not return to Lingbao temple. She turned around in the air and landed in a small courtyard not far from Xu Fu. The small yard is full of flowers, and the air is sweet and greasy. A woman of mediocre appearance is lying on a bamboo chair, eating precocious oranges, showing her teeth while she is sour, but she can't bear to eat. "Why do you come to me again? What if someone finds out?" Mu Nanzhi didn't say well. "No one can see me but the supervisor." Luo Yuheng said faintly: "if you think that the prison will covet your beauty, then I won't come." "Then I know myself well." Mu Nanzhi hum twice. Luo Yuheng ignored her and went straight to the side of the water tank. He took a look at the nine color lotus root, and nodded with satisfaction. "It's been a good time." She looked away at the princess. "I feel my waist is thick." The princess pinched her waist and complained, "it's all Xu Qi'an's fault that the dog thief always takes me out for a big meal."Luo Yuheng smiles. When she was the imperial concubine of huaiwang, she had all kinds of delicacies, but she always didn't like them. Now she is a mediocre little woman in the market. She has a better appetite than before. Trapped in the palace for 20 years, she was finally free, and her face was different. At this time, if she shows her true colors, she must be the most moving woman in the world. Luo Yu Heng man said, "Xu Qi'an is leaving the capital. Will you follow him?" The princess quickly shook her head and denied: "of course not. Why should I go with you? I'm not his concubine. I just borrow some money from him to stay outside his house." Luo Yuheng is very satisfied with this answer, light way: "remember your words, if you rebel, I will sell you to the kiln." Mu Nanzhi said suspiciously, "what's the matter with you?" Luo Yuheng ignored him. The princess threw an orange: "here you are. I bought it at the market this morning. It's very valuable." Luo Yuheng waved his hand and beat the orange back. He didn't look at it. "I don't eat it." The princess said, "tut Tut, I really envy a woman like you who doesn't go to the toilet." Luo Yuheng frowned slightly: "the way you talk now is like a vulgar market woman." The princess laughed. On the other hand, Xu Qian thought about how to find a breakthrough here. "The Taoist priest of Di Zong can't go to check. First of all, I don't know where Di Zong is. If I know, I can't go either. Taoist priest Jinlian will report me and give my head away. But now, the dragon can't go there any more, because it's too dangerous and there's no harvest. "I've finished reading the daily life record. There's no major clue. How can I find out? No, what am I looking for? " Xu Qi'an reviewed his clues and ideas. At first, he found out that emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty supported Zhenbei King's slaughtering of the city, and the effort was not proportional to the reward. There was a problem here. After checking for so long, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty did have a big problem, but Xu Qi'an didn't have a clear answer and direction about what it was. "What I want to do is to uncover the mystery of emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty. Soul pills, abduction and trafficking in people and dragon veins are all clues, but there is no one line to connect them. In the soul pill, there is the shadow of the land patriarch, and the dragon vein also has the shadow of the land patriarch.... "Luo Yuheng's idea is right, and the land patriarch may be the line connecting everything. But how do I find the entry point? "I'm also in a wrong way of thinking. To find a breakthrough point, I don't have to start with the local patriarch himself, but also from what he has done. Go to the watchman's Yamen. " He went straight out of the Yamen on horseback. At the gate of the watchman's Yamen, as soon as the horse's reins are lost and the robes are shaken, entering the Yamen is like going home. The guard didn't stop him. He gave him rein to watch the horse. After entering the yamen, I found song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao in a circle. Maybe I went to listen to the music while patrolling the streets. Fortunately, Li Yuchun is a dedicated and good silver Gong. Seeing Xu Qian's visit, Li Yuchun is very happy. He pulls him into the room happily and looks back fiercely. "Don't worry, that slovenly girl didn't follow." Xu Qi'an knows this superior very well. "No, don't say it, don't say it..." Li Yuchun waved her hand: "even today, I still feel goose bumps when I think of her." It seems that Zhong Li has left a heavy psychological shadow on brother chun. It's as big as two rooms and one living room..... Xu Qi'an doesn't talk nonsense. He puts forward the purpose of his visit: "chief, I want to see the confession of Uncle Pingyuan's peddler." "I'll do it for you." Li Yuchun didn't ask much. He beckoned for the official and told him to go to the document library to get it. For the files of such cases, it is not even necessary for the watchman to go in person. It is enough to send an official. They sat down for tea and chatted. Li Yuchun said, "by the way, Guangxiao will get married at the end of the year. The day has been set." "That's a good thing!" Xu Qian showed a sincere smile and said that Zhu Guangxiao could finally get rid of song Tingfeng, a bad friend, and leave on the road of no return. On his way to Yunzhou to investigate the case last year, Zhu Guangxiao said that when the Yunzhou case was over, he would return to the capital and marry his childhood sweetheart. has to make complaints about it again... Xu Qian's smile is hidden beneath the smile of his previous life. Speaking of all, the worst thing in my last life was not getting married. College students, high school students, and childhood friends got married one after another. They gave money and gave it again. Now they have no chance to come back. Just think about it. Not long after, the officials returned with the files of the human teeth organization, a thick stack. After the death of Uncle Pingyuan, most of the leaders and minions of the human teeth organization were captured, and only a few of them were at large. The prisoners had been dragged to the vegetable market for questioning.Only the confession from the trial. Xu Qi'an directly skips the confession of the minions and focuses on reading the confession of the minions in the organization. The nominal leader of the organization is a man called "black scorpion". Black scorpion's identity is mysterious. Before the watchman's Yamen had time to lock him down, Hengyuan killed Pingyuan uncle and disrupted the plan of the watchman. As for these small leaders, they don't even know that they are working for Pingyuan uncle. They are only responsible for luring and abducting single children, women and even adult men. Men are sold as slaves and labourers, while women are sold into kilns or left to be played by brothers in the organization. For Pingyuan uncle secretly to the palace of the transfer of population, even more ignorant. "As Uncle Pingyuan, I'm sure I won't personally approach the human teeth organization. This black scorpion is an important person. Before the watchman could lock him down, Hengyuan killed him in Pingyuan Bofu.... "Xu Qi'an took a breath," does the boa constrictor in the story of Fuxiang refer to this black scorpion? He knew that the watchman was checking himself, so he secretly reported to emperor yuan Jingdi. After getting the advice of emperor yuan Jingdi, he disclosed the information to Hengyuan and killed people with Hengyuan's hand? " The guess flashed through my mind. It's just a flash, the end of black scorpion, or escape from the capital, or have been killed. There is no need for this person to check. Xu Qi'an continued to read the confession. Looking at it, a trivial detail attracted his attention. There is a confession from a little leader named "Dao Ye". In the confession, Dao Ye mentioned that when he joined the profession, he was with a senior named Lu Ye. This Master Lu, who calls himself the elder of the human teeth organization, was followed by master Dao when he was young. Master Lu is getting old. He slowly retreats and supports his confidant. The biggest problem with this message is that Mr. Dao started his career in his early twenties, and now he has three in his forties. Before Dao ye, there was another deer ye, which means that human dental tissue existed for at least 30 years. The human tooth organization has existed for at least 30 years, which is a conservative estimate. Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty only practiced Taoism for 21 years..... Xu Qi'an took a deep breath: "is Master Lu's family still there?" He handed the confession to Li Yuchun. Li Yuchun shook his head: "this case is not handled. It's not clear. I'll help you to ask." He took the confession, got up and left. About a quarter of an hour later, Li Yuchun returned and said, "Master Lu died long ago. According to the law of Dafeng, he sold the population a little, and was sentenced to lingchi, beheading, exile and censure according to the seriousness of the case. When the father dies and the son pays, the crime is reduced to the second grade. "Lord Lu's crime must be sentenced to lingchi. Because of his illness, his son paid back and his crime was reduced to second class. At that time, he had already been exiled to the border. Lu Ye's hairy wife is still alive. " Xu Qi'an drank the tea, got up and said, "take me to find her." In his early years, although he made a lot of money, he knew that his career was "dangerous", so he left behind and bought a house in the inner city, leaving a lot of property. After his son's exile, Master Lu's first wife took his family to live in the inner courtyard. She could still live a life of luxury. However, the watchmen are all hob meat, extorting the family members of the traffickers every so often, squeezing all the black money they earn. So Mr. Lu's family moved back to the outer city. Now they live in a small courtyard in the North City, a grandson, a daughter-in-law and a grandmother. Li Yuchun and Xu Qian knocked on the door of the courtyard. The one who opened the door was a beautiful and weak looking woman. She was washing clothes and wearing a coarse cloth skirt, which was very simple. In the yard, a child was riding a bamboo horse, and an old woman with white hair was feeding chickens. Seeing Li Yuchun's watchman's bad clothes, the old woman and the little woman's face changed greatly. The latter is submissive and shivering, while the former is very pungent. Once the dustpan is lost, she cries and screams: "the officers and soldiers bully people, and they bully people again. You can force me to death. Even if I die, I will let the villagers see the faces of you bastards..." it's not surprising that the old woman was tough when she was young. After all, it was the purpose of human beings A wife. Li Yuchun kicked a few feet and said, "shut up. If you make any more noise, you'll catch your grandson and sell him." It seems that she has touched the old lady's scales. She is really quiet. She stares at Li Yuchun and Xu Qian bitterly. Xu Qi'an closed the door of the courtyard, went around the chicken excrement, stepped in front of the old woman and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you a few questions and answer them honestly." When the old woman nodded, he asked, "is Master Lu the elder of the human tooth organization?" The old woman's eyes twinkled and said, "I'm a woman. I don't know anything." "Oh, I don't know anything."Xu Qi'an suddenly nodded, pulled the little woman into the room, and said with a grim smile, "the little women are very beautiful. I went into the room once." Embarrassed, the little woman blushed and looked at Xu Qian secretly, but she didn't call. Xu Qian became angry and said, "sell it to the kiln again." Then the little woman screamed: "mother, help me..." "sell the little rabbit, too." He added. The old woman hugged her grandson and said in a loud voice, "no, no, I say everything." The old woman told Xu Qi'an that Master Lu was originally a loafer. He had nothing to do all day. He was brave and had made friends with a group of people in the market. Until one day, someone asked him to "get" a few people. Later, from entrustment to incorporation, the renyazi organization was born. Master Lu and his brothers entered the organization and made a fortune. "When did this happen?" Xu Qian asked. The old woman recalled, frowned and said, "if you remember correctly, it's Joan of arc's 26th year." Her poor life ushered in a turning year, which was of great significance and impressive to her. In the 26th year of Joan of arc, how could she be a little familiar?... Xu Qi'an muttered for a moment, his body suddenly shocked, and his expression suddenly solidified on his face. According to the living records of the former Emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of arc, the former Emperor invited di Zongdao to the palace for the first time. According to the living records of the former Emperor, in the 26th year of Joan of arc, the king of Huai and Yuanjing were hunting in the depth of Nanyuan, and they were attacked by Xiong PI, and their bodyguards were killed and injured. In the 26th year of Joan of arc, someone asked Lord Lu to secretly plunder the population, and these people were secretly sent to the palace. It can be inferred that the tudun array of Pingyuan Bofu was built in the 26th year of Zhende. All in the same year. passed for a long time, Xu Qian murmured herself with all her strength, "Zong Dao, the head of the earth..." .....PS: the awesome chapter is to make up for the recent update.
