The two bears are closed, and Yu Shan is watching from the tower.
In the Tunu camp, carriages and horses came in and out without interruption all day long. Yu Shan frowned and said, "What kind of things are you transporting? You won't be idle for a moment?"
Bai Zihe said: "Of course it is necessary to transport ordnance. A hundred thousand troops are extremely expensive. One arrow per person will cost one hundred thousand. The war is imminent, so we must speed up the transportation."
Yu Shan shook his head and said: "Since ordinary carriages can be used to transport ordnance, why are so many vans used?"
A carriage is a carriage with a carriage. This kind of carriage is generally used to transport people.
Bai Zihe said: "I think Tunu must have sent a lot of reinforcements."
Yu Shan frowned and said, "A hundred thousand troops are not enough?"
Bai Zihe sighed: "Tu Nu has invested a lot of money, I'm afraid this battle will be quite tragic."
"How many troops do they have?" Yu Shan stretched his neck, wanting to stick his head into the Tunu camp.
"What's going on? You're scared!" Bai Zihe smiled, "When the war starts, just follow me closely. I will take care of you."
Yu Shan sneered and said: "What's the air? It's your first time to go on an expedition, but you just fought a few more battles with the cavalry general."
Bai Zihe snorted: "After all, I have more knowledge than you."
"It would be great if Xu Zhiqiong was here. This guy is smart and can sneak into the enemy camp to see what's going on."
"Xu Zhiqiong is not here, let's go find his wife. That woman covered in peach blossoms is quite capable."
Yu Shan smiled and said, "That person may not be his wife."
"Isn't it true that the lady is still sticky?" Bai Zihe asked in surprise, "That day on Xuzhuan Mountain, I saw them kissing me. There was no place on the peach girl's body that Xu Zhiqiong had not touched."
"There are many women who are clingy to Xu Zhiqiong. That guy is not a good person. You must stay away from him in the future."
There was a hint of jealousy in these words, and Bai Zihe smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid that I will run away with him?"
Yu Shan said sternly: "I advise you with good intentions, but he is really not a good person!"
Bai Zihe sneered and said: "Are you a good person? I have heard that when you were in the capital, you married a wife. It is said that that woman had the appearance of conquering the country."
Yu Shan said angrily: "This is a rumor. I just made an engagement and broke off the engagement before we got married."
Bai Zihe smiled playfully and said, "Does this count as chaos at first and abandonment at the end?"
"There was no chaos in the beginning. How can I give up if there is no chaos? That's all. Don't mention that woman again. When I mention her, I feel filled with resentment!"
Bai Zihe curled his lips and said, "To hate her is to miss her. After all, you still have her in your heart."
Yu Shan looked at Bai Zihe with a serious face: "I will make an oath in front of you. If I have her in my heart, call me..."
Bai Zihe gently blocked Yu Shan's mouth: "What are you doing? This is a battlefield, you don't dare to talk nonsense!"
As he spoke, a group of carriages and horses left the Tunu camp, and Yu Shan's expression became more solemn.
Bai Zihe said: "Don't panic, I heard that Elder Shengwei has mobilized 30,000 troops from Pingzhou, and His Royal Highness has also gone to Yuanzhou to mobilize troops."
“I always feel like something is wrong!” Yu Shan shook his head repeatedly, “But I can’t tell what’s wrong!”
…
Before Liang Jixiong led the army out of Pingzhou, a snowstorm blocked their journey.
This was the first snowfall in Pingzhou. The snow came hard, and the fine snowflakes mixed with water droplets instantly soaked through the clothes, forcing the army to camp halfway.
When more than 5,000 people were marching, an Onmyoji set up a magic circle, and they were able to carry the camp for seventy or eighty miles overnight.
There are still more than a hundred Onmyoji in the army, but this is an army of 30,000, and the magic circle is operating at full strength, and it only traveled twenty miles overnight.
The next day, when the wind and snow had not stopped, Liang Jixiong ordered the march. Fang Shichen said: "Elder, if we march in this weather, we are afraid that the sergeants will catch the wind and cold. If the wind and cold spread in the military camp, the gains will outweigh the losses."
Liang Jixiong was extremely anxious. In the afternoon, the wind and snow subsided, and Liang Jixiong ordered the march again. After walking for a day, the ground was icy and slippery, and the march was slow, but the sergeant was exhausted.
…
The prince talked for two days and two nights in Yuanzhou, using reason and emotion, and finally persuaded Chen Yunrui, the prefect of Yuanzhou, and asked for 10,000 troops and set off immediately at dawn.
Chen Yunrui went out of the city to see him off: "Your Highness, don't blame me for being stingy. I am stationed at the border and have my own unspeakable difficulties."
The prince smiled and said: "Who can blame you? I know your difficulties. It is not easy to spare ten thousand troops."
Chen Yunrui nodded and said: "His Highness sympathized with Wei Chen's suffering, and Wei Chen burst into tears of gratitude, so Wei Chen's eldest son Chen Beixuan was entrusted to Your Highness!"
It's not that Magistrate Chen didn't want to send troops, and the border troops couldn't be easily mobilized. However, seeing that the prince personally took command and fought to the death with Tunu, Magistrate Chen didn't want to include the lake, and ordered his eldest son Chen Beixuan to go with the army.
Chen Beixuan, dressed in military uniform, bid farewell to his father: "Father, wait until the child returns home in triumph!"
Chen Yunrui nodded and said: "As long as there is a soldier in the army, you must not retreat even half a step in front of Tunu. Don't insult the name of Yuanzhou and live up to the power of Daxuan!"
After leaving Yuanzhou, the prince first asked Chen Beixuan to lead troops to Luzhou. He then went from the magic formation to Xianzhou to borrow troops.
With Chen Yunrui as an example, the prefect of Xianzhou immediately sent 10,000 troops, led by the famous general Ji Qi himself.
Ji Qi's identity is not simple. He has a fourth-grade military strategist and is very famous in the Western Regions.
The prince stayed in Xianzhou for two days, waiting for Ji Qi to prepare food, grass and weapons, and the army immediately set off.
With an army of 50,000, according to Chu Xin's analysis, Tunu could be severely damaged and would not dare to invade Daxuan within ten years.
Although I feel a little unwilling to be unable to reach the mainland of Tunu, at the time of overturning, being able to fight this battle to the point of despair can be considered a great victory that can turn the tide!
During the march, the prince told Ji Qi Chu Xin's analysis of the battle situation. He thought it would arouse the fighting spirit of the famous general, but he did not expect that Ji Qi was very cautious in what he said.
"Your Highness, the last general has been in the Western Region for a long time. He has been dealing with the monsters all day long. The monsters use their troops treacherously. The last general has suffered losses and has become more cautious.
General Chariot and Cavalry has experienced hundreds of battles, and I dare not point fingers. I have heard that General Chariot and Cavalry has repeatedly defeated many with less in Yongzhou, and I only hope that General Chariot and Cavalry will not underestimate Tunu because of this."
The prince was stunned. Is it possible that Chu Xin made the mistake of underestimating the enemy?
Probably not, that is a famous cavalry general!
But Chu Xin really looked down on Tu Nu.
…
A rain of peach blossoms fell, and Tao Huayuan appeared in Jasmine Village.
Liu Jiaqi stepped forward with a face of joy: "Sister, you are finally here!"
Tao Huayuan pinched Liu Jiaqi's cheek: "Who wants to come and occupy your cottage?"
Liu Jiaqi said: "One is named Zangdao Juzi Zhang Shen, and the other is named Xiaochibafang Yuan Weiji. I heard that they are both famous mountain kings in Yongzhou!"
"Hidden Sword Juzi?" Tao Huayuan frowned and asked, "Is this person named Zhang Shen a Confucian practitioner?"
Liu Jiaqi thought for a moment and said: "It looks like the person who speaks in a formal manner must be a Confucian!"
"Who is that Yuan Weiji?"
"I don't know where he came from, but I know that this man loves to laugh. He is always smiling, and he especially loves to eat chicken. When he came to my village, he always held a roast chicken in his hand."
"Are they two going to join forces to occupy your cottage?"
Liu Jiaqi thought for a moment and said, "They came on the same day, so I don't know if they want to join forces."
"That's it?" Tao Huayuan frowned.
Liu Jiaqi nodded and said, "I just met them once, so that's all I know."
Tao Huayuan said: "Bring me a board and let me beat you until your peach blossoms bloom!"
Liu Jiaqi asked in surprise: "Why did you hit me?"
"Two strong men are trying to rob your cottage. You know nothing about them, but what's the difference between them and being killed at your neck?"
Liu Jiaqi said unconvinced: "I have planned it. It is easy to defend here but difficult to attack. I also set up a Gonglou sentry base as my sister said. Anyway, I have many people, so I just have to fight them."
"How to beat them? Let these old and weak women and children bring rolling pins to beat them? You can figure it out!"
"If you can't beat me, let's discuss it with them. I'll invite them to come to the village to meet me tomorrow. I'm afraid that I don't understand the rules of the road and said the wrong thing, so I asked my sister to come over and give me some advice."
"Are they two coming together?"
Liu Jiaqi nodded and said: "We agreed that we will come at night!"
"It's true that there was collusion beforehand, so let me meet these two village masters."
…
At night the next day, Zhang Shen, the Tibetan Swordsman, and Yuan Weiji, who was laughing and eating all directions, arrived as promised.
Zhang Shen wore a Confucian crown and Confucian robe. He was about thirty people and was well-mannered. He didn't look like a rough and tumble man.
Smiling in all directions, Yuan Weiji is just like his nickname. He always has a smile on his face, but he can't tell whether the smile is real or fake.
Tao Huayuan used medicinal powder to hide the yin and yang aura on her body, and together with Liu Jiaqi, she invited Zhang Shen and Yuan Weiji into the cottage.
The two of them each brought more than a dozen followers into the village. The fact that they dared to come in proved that they did not take Jasmine Village seriously at all.
Liu Jiaqi chose a fairly spacious wooden house to entertain the two of them. The guests and hosts exchanged greetings and took their seats. Zhang Shen saw Tao Huayuan sitting next to Liu Jiaqi and asked, "I wonder what I call this girl?"
Liu Jiaqi said: "This is my sister! The famous hero in the world is the real head of our Moli Village!"
Tao Huayuan shook her head and said: "Don't listen to her teasing. My name is Tao Qiongqi, and the leader of Liu village is my adopted sister. The war in Yongzhou continues, and I, a weak woman, have nowhere to make a living. I heard that my adopted sister has fallen into the grass, so I came to join her.
"
Yuan Weiji smiled and said: "Sister-in-law or sister-in-law, who of you two is in charge?"
Tao Huayuan said: "Of course it is my sister who is in charge."
"Let's assume that she is in charge. We came all night and didn't even eat, so we won't talk to you anymore. We have taken a fancy to your place. If we agree today, let's settle the matter. From now on, this place belongs to me, Yuan.
Someone has divided a stronghold, and if we can't agree, we will start a battle tomorrow!"
Tao Huayuan looked at Zhang Shen and asked, "Is this what Zhang Zhai Master also means?"
It was freezing cold, so Zhang Shen opened the folding fan and fanned twice.
This is not heat, this is the demeanor of a Confucian scholar.
"Zhao Liu, Miss Tao, Zhang came here not to occupy your village, but for the people in Moli Village.
With all due respect, Leader Liu does not understand military matters, and Moli Village is extremely fragile. If it falls into the hands of thieves, the people here will be in dire straits."
Tao Huayuan said: "If Jasmine Village falls into the hands of Zhang Juren, can the lives of the people be saved?"
"A gentleman's words, a whip of his horse, and since Zhang has agreed, the people here should live in peace and worry-free under Zhang's name!"
Yuan Weiji sneered when he heard this: "What do you mean by a gentleman? Could it be that you are not a thief?"
Zhang Shen said coldly: "After all, I am somewhat different from you and other grass bandits!"
Tao Huayuan said: "This puts us sisters in a dilemma. Which village leader should our Jasmine village follow?"
Yuan Weiji smiled and said: "Little Pump Girl, don't use this stratagem to alienate me! We have a clear understanding between Village Leader Zhang and me. Today I only ask you, are you willing to defect to us? If not, we will start a war tomorrow. I will still do it."
We have an empty stomach, so let’s not waste our time here!”
Tao Huayuan smiled and said: "It's my fault that our sisters didn't greet us well. Sister, didn't we prepare the food and wine?"
Liu Jiaqi ordered the dishes to be served. There were not many ingredients in the village, so they simply prepared a few dishes. Tao Huayuan raised her glass and said, "Little sister, I would like to propose a toast to the two village owners!"
Zhang Shen picked up the wine glass, smelled it, and drank it all in one gulp. He had been in the world for a long time, and ordinary poisons could not fool his nose.
Yuan Weiji was more cautious and ordered his men to bring the wine bag: "I'm bringing the wine, so I won't take advantage of you!"
After drinking a glass of wine, Yuan Weiji asked someone to bring another chicken, held it in his arms, and ate it. He couldn't move a bite of the food and wine prepared by Liu Jiaqi.
This is a true charlatan.
He really loved eating chicken. Every time he pulled off a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, he chewed it happily. After finishing a piece, he didn't forget to suck his fingers, as if he had endless enjoyment.
Tao Huayuan was fascinated by what she saw. Yuan Weiji smiled and said, "Little girl, why are you so greedy? If you don't mind, I'll give you some."
After speaking, he handed the roast chicken to Tao Huayuan.
Tao Huayuan smiled: "My little sister is really a little greedy."
After speaking, she pulled off a chicken leg, took a bite, and exclaimed: "The taste is really unusual!"
Yuan Weiji smiled and said: "I have eaten meat and drank wine. If you two girls want to understand, please give me a reply!"
Tao Huayuan sighed: "Moli Village is a family property that my adopted sister saved with her own hands. Naturally, I don't want to give it to others."
Zhang Shen frowned and said, "Girl, think twice!"
"Why are you thinking twice?" Yuan Weiji swallowed a mouthful of chicken, wiped his mouth and said, "Since you don't agree, let's wait for the fight tomorrow!"
After saying that, Yuan Weiji stood up to leave.
Tao Huayuan said: "Two village masters, please stay a little longer. My sworn sister's foundation here is not stable, and she lacks major generals. If we fight with the two village masters, the chance of victory is slim."
Yuan Weiji smiled and nodded; "If you know you are not good enough, don't pretend to be a hero. How can you say it is slim? How do you have half a chance of winning?"
Zhang Shen put away the folding fan and said: "Zhang doesn't want to rely on the strong to bully the weak. The two girls will choose a strong general from the village. Zhang will fight alone with him to see the difference. I don't know what the two girls want."
How about next?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of awe-inspiring righteousness came over him.
This is Zhang Shen demonstrating his strength. He is indeed a Confucian cultivator with a sixth-level cultivation. He is warning Tao Huayuan that even if he fights alone, no one in Moli Village can be his opponent.
Tao Huayuan sighed: "Zhang Juren is so kind. Moli Village is willing to listen to Zhang Juren's orders from now on!"
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Weiji frowned, "You can fight, is it possible that Mr. Yuan is a vegetarian?"
A burst of murderous aura came over, Yuan Weiji had the cultivation of killing, and looking at the aura, he seemed to be on par with Zhang Shen.
Zhang Shen nodded and said: "Forget it, let's fight it out here tonight to avoid further chaos in the future."
Yuan Weiji shook his head and said: "Brother Zhang, it's okay to decide the outcome, but it's not here. Let's find another time and another place. If we can discuss it, let's not do anything, lest others reap the benefits."
This is really a man of the green forest, but he acts much more cautiously than Zhang Shen.
Zhang Shen nodded and said: "That's fine, now that the matter of Moli Village has been settled, the rest is between you and me. Master Yuan Village, let's talk in another place, please!"
"Master Zhang, please go first!" Yuan Weiji was worried that Zhang Shen would attack from behind.
Zhang Shen smiled and led his subordinates to take the first step to the door. Suddenly, his feet sank and a few peach petals fell slowly from in front of his eyes.
There is a yin and yang array!
Tao Huayuan had already prepared the yin and yang magic circle, and she went through so much trouble just to test the two people's cultivation.
Zhang Shen was careless and stepped on the magic circle, but he didn't panic. He was a Confucian of the same class who could overcome yin and yang, and he also had innocent skills.
But he didn't expect that his innocent skills could not resolve Tao Huayuan's magic circle. They were not of the same type.
Tao Huayuan's cultivation level is above him, and she is specialized in magic formations.
It doesn't make sense. With such a high level of cultivation, how could this woman appear in a place like Moli Village?
The petals flew towards his mouth and nose. Zhang Shen rolled his eyes and fainted.
More than a dozen of his followers came forward to rescue him, but they all fell into the peach blossom formation and fell together with Zhang Shen.
Yuan Weiji watched clearly from the side and sneered: "You are a vicious woman, judging by your methods, your cultivation level is not low!"
He waved his hand, and his men drew their swords and prepared for battle.
Tao Huayuan sighed: "Master Yuan, save your strength, you are poisoned."
Yuan Weiji smiled and said: "Little Pumpkin, I have been very careful. I didn't eat a bite of the food and wine you prepared."
"It doesn't matter if you eat it. There is no poison in the food and wine. I put poison on the chicken when I pulled the chicken leg."
Yuan Weiji put the roast chicken aside: "Little girl, do you think you can deceive me with just two lies?"
Tao Huayuan smiled and said: "Just think that I lied to you, Master Yuan, please!"
Yuan Weiji put away his smile and shouted: "I'm leaving now, let's see who of you can stop me."
He walked towards the door, and Tao Huayuan didn't stop him.
Two steps away from the door, Yuan Weiji's body softened and he fell to the ground.
Tao Huayuan raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Come to my village and leave if you want? Tie me up!"
