"By the way." Gu Xun then suddenly reminded Zhang Liangdao, "Remember to tell the Mo family that if you plan to save people, you can make arrangements early."
"It's good to start early..."
"How do you say it?" Zhang Liang asked curiously.
Gu Xun asked back, "Don't you think the people on the mirage have been particularly quiet these days?"
"This... the whole Songhai has been very quiet recently." Zhang Liang said with a wry smile.
Zhang Liang originally didn't know much about the situation in the mirage, and as the situation in Songhai has slowed down recently, he didn't even notice the unusual calm in the mirage.
Gu Xun grinned and pointed out the situation directly, "The two leaders on the mirage have been practicing recently and have no intention of caring about others. It is a good time to take action."
"Are they all injured?" Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Gu Xun nodded with a bad smile on his face.
With the strength of these two people, they can be injured at the same time - according to Gu Xun's words, the injuries are not serious, and they haven't made much noise yet... Could it be that Brother Gu did it yourself?
After a second thought, Zhang Liang gave up this possibility again.
If it was Gu Xun who did it, he wouldn't be so gloating about his misfortune, but would be much calmer.
After all, for him, hitting anyone is not a shameful thing.
So who else can do this?
"Could it be...that it was caused by Tianming and the others?"
"Hmph... you can say that." Gu Xun nodded again, his smile unchanged, "Fundamentally speaking, it was the two of them who had their own thoughts, but the direct cause was indeed that boy Tianming."
"Both of them have suffered serious internal injuries now, and it is estimated that they will need to recuperate for a long time."
Star Soul and Moon God, one was knocked down by Tian Ming using Long You's Qi with special powers, and his meridians were severely damaged. The other was backfired by the Soul Transfer Technique and then took action forcefully. He almost blew himself up, and they were equally guilty.
Severe internal injuries.
On the day of the injury, both of them probably felt lung pain even when they were breathing. Now they are feeling better, but they are still far from being cured.
Zhang Liang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard this, and said with emotion, "Tianming can always bring surprises to people."
"If he is not good, he is not worthy of being your dignified Confucian third-in-command. You have to make a man and a half of your family owe you a favor." Gu Xun stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and teased Zhang Liang with a smile.
Zhang Liang didn't care, raised his eyebrows and replied, "Be prepared, brother Gu will laugh at you."
Gu Xun smiled at him and said nothing more. He looked up at the sky and waved Zhang Liang away:
"It looks like the day isn't very nice. It's probably going to be windy and rainy, so it's time to go."
Zhang Liang also looked up and saw that the clouds had indeed thickened. He nodded and went down the mountain with Gu Xun.
………………
The northern border of the empire, Shangjun, at dusk.
Fusu's carriage was speeding on the road, and the scene on both sides of the road quickly retreating was a scene of desolation. The frightened birds made unpleasant mocking sounds, and there were many vultures eating carrion among them.
Occasionally, emaciated corpses would flash by on the ground, some intact, and some already mutilated and damaged.
But what's more, they are actually the withered bones of Sen Bai, whose flesh and blood have long been devoured by wild beasts.
As far as the natural world is concerned, humans are just a link in the food chain. If they can’t eat you when they’re alive, they can’t eat you after they die.
In this desolate and savage land, there is no shortage of carnivorous beasts.
Fusu looked through the window at the endless, lifeless land outside, with an indescribable feeling in his eyes.
Over the years, he has been working hard to develop the counties in the North, and there has been considerable progress. However, the results are mainly concentrated in Shangjun, Taiyuan County, and Daijun. Yanmen County is far behind, and Yunzhong Jiuyuan County is far behind.
It's basically staying where we are... but it's not getting any worse.
The manpower is sometimes poor, the natural environment of this place is here, the development is slow, no one can recruit, and Fusu has only been in control of the North for a few years, and the time is not long enough.
You must know that the ruling team under Fusu includes Han Fei, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Cao Shen and other big guys. It can be said that they are a dream team. They can't do anything... that means they really can't do anything.
Even if the time and place are not favorable, even if a person is exhausted, he cannot change his fate against the will of heaven.
Now, the Northland, which has just begun to improve, is once again involved in the war... This desolate scene is actually not unexpected.
Fusu didn't want to start a war rashly, but the wolves themselves were dishonest and kept thinking about the pot while eating from the pot. He only hoped that Meng Tian could end this war as soon as possible.
Ouch...ow...
Ouch...ow...
At this time, in addition to the trampling of horse hooves, a lonely land suddenly heard the howls of wolves one after another. Wild wolves with long beaks and gray fur stared at people from the ruins and dirt slopes on both sides of the road.
A figure emerged from behind the rocks.
The pack of wolves seemed to be eyeing the convoy. They stretched out their four legs and stood far behind the convoy, as if waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack.
At the same time, there were wolves howling continuously, which seemed to be calling for more wolves.
There was an escort team of three hundred people before and after Fusu drove. It stands to reason that the wolves would not target such a large team - generally there are only twenty or thirty wolves in the pack, so how could they select a group with hundreds of targets.
But this group of wolves was eyeing Fusu's team, and their number far exceeded the normal wolf pack - there were at least seventy or eighty following the convoy at this time, and they were still increasing.
Such a quantity is enough to cause the Fusu Guards to be on high alert.
For a well-equipped and well-trained army, wolves are no more difficult to deal with than humans, but their duty is to protect Fusu.
Wolves can break through their defenses far more easily than humans.
Fusu poked his head out and glanced at the huge army of wolves behind him, but didn't pay much attention.
He knew something was wrong, and there must be something wrong behind it, but... it was just a pack of wolves.
………………
On the other side, Yanmen County is one of the three counties in the North.
There are nine fortresses in the world, and Yanmen is the leader!
This sentence was born out of "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" and eventually evolved into this, which demonstrates the importance of Yanmen Fortress to the North.
This time the wolves invaded the south, the first place they attacked was Yanmen County. Relying on its excellent long-distance attack ability, they took Yanmen Pass by surprise.
This is basically equivalent to occupying most of Yanmen County, because the Juzhu Fortress where Yanmen Pass is located, also known as Yanmen Fortress, is located in the south of Yanmen County, which is equivalent to the "starting point" of Yanmen County.
With this dazzling operation, Mao Dun not only occupied Yanmen County, but also caused Jiuyuan and Yunzhong counties to lose control.
The three counties of the Northland would not fall completely due to this, but the empire did lose control of them, and the border troops who were left behind did not dare to act rashly.
This in turn caused the most important area in the north, Henan, to lose its protection. It was completely exposed to the fangs of the wolf clan and became the meat of their mouths.
This is also the real goal of the wolf clan. After all, the three counties in the North are generally poor, and it is meaningless to take money from the poor.
It was precisely because of Mao Dun's operation that the already sensitive Ying Zheng was stimulated, causing him to completely blame the wolf clan for the words "Hu, the one who destroyed Qin".
