Chapter 329 The Battle of Zhongzhou Comes to an End
A wonderful night was spent surrounded by two groups of warm fragrance.
What makes Nan Yanxi curious is that Ling Yihan didn't show much surprise regarding the matter between him and Xiang Ning'er.
It seemed as if she had already noticed it a long time ago.
This performance made Nan Yanxi confused.
After questioning, Ling Yihan told the truth.
Just because she knows Nan Yanxi so well, Xiang Ning'er is a beautiful and capable woman.
Nan Yanxi went to great lengths to save her, first raising her in the Qinglian Sword Sect, and then taking her down the mountain to serve in Yuzhou.
Of course Ling Yihan knew that Nan Yanxi was both lustful and talented, so it would be strange to let her go.
Therefore, Bingxue, being smart, had already been mentally prepared for what happened between the two of them.
After careful calculation, after all, Xiang Ning'er has some abilities that will be of great help to the future battle situation.
With a gentle personality like Ling Yihan, he naturally doesn't say anything.
Holding the two beauties in her arms, Nan Yanxi felt indescribably comfortable all over her body.
He was supposed to go to the meeting hall to arrange future matters, but he didn't want to get up.
I thought to myself, no wonder this gentle village is the Tomb of Heroes, it really makes sense.
I wanted to be lazy, but I was pulled away by the two virtuous housewives without any explanation.
Helpless, Nan Yanxi had no choice but to drag her tired body to get up.
Dragging my aching legs, I strolled to the meeting hall.
At this time, Gu Wenzhao, Ye Wanqiu, and other mid- to high-level officers from Yuzhou were almost all present in the pavilion.
Nan Yanxi collected her thoughts, then entered the hall and greeted everyone one by one.
Especially for his nominally senior and second senior brother, Nan Yanxi was naturally extra polite.
After everyone chatted for a short time, Xiang Ning'er and Ling Yihan, both dressed in military uniforms, also walked in side by side.
Nan Yanxi turned around and looked around, unable to help but be stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, these two dead girls, shouldn't they be allowed to rest all morning?
After looking at the two of them carefully, there was nothing unusual about the two women except that their faces were a little flushed and they walked a little slowly.
Seeing Nan Yanxi looking at them in surprise, the two women looked at each other, smiled, and came to his side with blushing faces.
He whispered: "Don't look down on others, we are both soldiers! Humph!"
"Uh..." Nan Yanxi couldn't help but have a dark look on her face when she heard this.
Having no choice but to clear his throat, he turned around and discussed the follow-up matters with the generals.
In order to ensure the absolute secrecy of the operation and strictly prevent the enemy from spying, none of the three mentioned the secret road in the Qinglian Mountains.
They only announced the future battle plan to attack Shangyun County and Pingyang County.
The generals fought in high spirits, and after explaining their tasks in detail, they all turned around and prepared to go.
...
Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the battle for Zhongzhou, the winner was finally decided.
The last elite of Daxia, combined with reinforcements from Dayan and Xichu, finally couldn't hold on anymore after nearly two months of bloody battle with Xiang's army.
Two-thirds of the troops were surrounded and annihilated, and the remaining troops retreated to Yunzhou City.
The remaining more than 100,000 elite troops of the Xiang Jiajun are chasing after them, and they have great momentum to capture Yunzhou in one go.
At the same time, bad news came from Xichu...
The Beiyuan army that destroyed the Eagle Khanate did not stop, leaving only the crown prince Surel to lead some garrison troops to maintain public order.
The Great Khan personally led one hundred thousand cavalry on behalf of Qin, and headed straight towards Western Chu.
Almost at the same time, Li Qi, the king of Zhenxi who was stationed in Southern Zhao, also led an army of 100,000 elite firearms and attacked from the south.
For a time, the Kingdom of Western Chu, known as the little overlord of the Western Regions, was caught in a dangerous situation of being attacked from the north and the south.
The whole country of Western Chu had less than 300,000 troops, and Daxia had borrowed 80,000 troops.
Now, being attacked from the north and south by tiger and wolf divisions, our troops are stretched thin.
The two neighboring countries in the north and south faced these two groups of enemies, and they only lasted for a month before being destroyed.
And since he was attacked from both sides, he was afraid that sooner or later he would follow in their footsteps.
In panic, the Emperor of Western Chu hurriedly summoned the remnant soldiers of Western Chu who were still in Yunzhou and immediately returned to the country to rescue him.
In the current situation, I really can't control whether Daxia dies or not.
Although Xi Chu's 80,000 elite troops had been defeated by Xiang's army, only less than 30,000 were left.
But in times of crisis like this, no matter how small a fly is, it is still flesh.
As for what happened to Daxia, they couldn't care less about it now.
On the other hand, envoys were sent to contact the generals of the two parties to see if they could seek peace.
After all, the two countries, Nanhai and Beiyuan, have always been on the same page.
Why did he offend these two great gods? He had to kill himself before he could stop.
How did the Emperor of Western Chu know that the actions of these two countries were all under the command of one person.
It only takes an instant to destroy them, Xi Chu.
As for the war situation in the west, Nan Yanxi, the instigator, was not too worried.
Now, he is walking on the road in the Qinglian Mountains with an elite army of 30,000 soldiers transferred from the South China Sea and equipped with the latest firearms.
After such a long period of construction, the roads in the Qinglian Mountains have become very smooth.
Especially the section from the Qinglian Sword Sect to the hinterland of the Qinglian Mountains, which is the former site of the Hulan Kingdom, is already quite spacious.
Every fifteen miles, a large transfer station was built, and a large town was built directly at the former site of Tianyun Pavilion.
Stationed inside are the old service battalions and support battalions established that year. Currently, there are Nangong Wenjian and General Manager Hua Luoli.
As the tasks became increasingly heavy, the two battalions of troops had grown from 3,000 men per battalion to 20,000 men per battalion.
The two battalions have been expanded into brigades, which have been expanded into the 1st and 2nd Qinglian Service Brigade and the 1st and 2nd Qinglian Support Brigade.
This time, Nan Yanxi led 30,000 elite troops to cross the Qinglian Mountains to launch a surprise attack on Yanzhou. They were responsible for logistics and support.
When the troops arrived at the central town, Nangong Wenjian had already greeted them early.
As soon as she saw her mentor coming out to greet her, Nan Yanxi quickly got off her horse and hurried forward to greet him.
"Hahaha...Master, why did you come here in person?"
As Nan Yanxi said this, she walked towards him and took a closer look. She couldn't help being surprised.
I haven't seen this old man for only three to five months, but why has he become so different?
In the past, although the old man was in good health, his eyes had no charm and his complexion was not very good.
But it was different now. The old man's eyes were shining, his face was rosy, and he looked as if he had suddenly become more than ten years younger.
The most important thing is that this old man's originally thin body has gained a lot of weight.
I estimate that I have gained more than twenty pounds.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
Did this old man stay in these deep mountains and old forests? The air is nice and quiet, so why is his mental state so good?
Just as he was thinking in his mind, the voices of Nangong Ruoxue and Lu Yingying came from behind him.
"Daddy..."
"Uncle Nangong..."
"Oh... Hahaha..." Nangong Wenjian's face glowed red, and his voice became louder: "Are you two girls coming too?"
"Could it be that I'm following you to cause trouble for you, Brother Nan?"
"Oh...what did you say..." When the two women heard this, they immediately became unhappy.
Nangong Ruoxue took two steps forward, took Nangong Wenjian's arm, and said, "Daddy is talking nonsense."
"My daughter is now senior brother's right-hand man." After saying that, she didn't forget to ask Xiang Nan Yanxi: "Really? Senior brother?"
"Uh...hahaha...right." Nan Yanxi was deliberately vague.
This made the two women even more reluctant to rely on each other.
Nangong Wenjian chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go into the city quickly, your Uncle Lu is still waiting inside."
"Oh? Uncle Lu is here too?"
"Yes." Nangong Wenjian nodded, walking side by side with Nan Yanxi towards the city.
"Old Lu originally went to Nanhai to look for me as his teacher. He heard from Qing Yan that I secretly came to Qinglian Mountain, so he came to find me."
"I heard that his two precious daughters are here, and they are cooking for you personally."
"Ah...? Real or fake?" Lu Yingying suddenly looked helpless when she heard this.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "My father's cooking... the taste is really... hard to describe in words."
"It doesn't matter..." Nangong Wenjian stroked his beard confidently: "With Luo Li's help, it won't taste bad."
As soon as he said this, Nan Yanxi raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized.
No wonder this old man's face is so red. It seems that it is mostly due to Hua Luoli.
As the saying goes, a man chases a woman across the mountain, and a woman chases a man through the veil.
Judging from the old man's tone and expression when he mentioned Hua Luoli, the matter between the two of them must have been settled.
Judging from this, Hua Luoli's cooking skills should be quite impressive.
Just thinking about it, if he wasn't powerful, he could have fed Mr. Nangong Wenjian to be so fat in just a few months.
