In the northern frontier army, in Xiao Hong's tent, a green glazed tea cup fell from Xiao Hong's hand and broke into several pieces on the ground.
"How is that possible!"
"You said that when Wei Rui's army arrived, Zhongli City had already fallen for nearly a day, how could Lin Yi still be alive!"
Xiao Hong looked at the general who conveyed the latest military information, with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "When Lin Yi came out of Meishan, he had never heard of any miracles. Even if he got the sword pavilion, let alone He Xiuxian, he was dead.
Why is He Xiuxian still alive and teaching in person? How could he kill Xi Ruyu in such a short period of time!"
The general in front of him bowed, with a wry smile on his face, "Commander, I didn't believe it before, but the news from many sources was the same, and even the news sent back by Wei Rui's troops was the same, so it couldn't be wrong. He was killed in a battle
Xi Ruyu killed several practitioners of the Divine Mind Realm in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Countless practitioners died in the hands of him and Jiange. He also dragged Xi Ruyu's hundreds of thousands of troops and Yang Dian's tens of thousands of bones army to Jiangxinzhou and the North Bank.
The Northern Wei army was unable to deploy defenses in advance. He led thousands of troops, but before Wei Rui's troops arrived, he killed tens of thousands of Northern Wei troops. This is a truly unparalleled feat!"
This general had followed Xiao Hong for many years. Of course, he was very aware of Xiao Hong's mood at this time. As early as when the battle reports came one after another before Zhongli, he knew that Xiao Hong wanted Tie Cejun and Lin Yi to disappear in Zhongli.
But Zhongli's great victory made him feel excited.
But he didn't dare to show this joyful and exciting mood in front of Xiao Hong.
"There is no wonder in the world." Xiao Hong repeated it twice, but he suddenly felt deep regret in his heart.
If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?
In his eyes, Lin Yi had long been a poor man in Jiankang City, and he was also the son of Lin Wangbei. Of course, he could not let Lin Yi have an unclear relationship with Xiao Shufei.
It is precisely because until his daughter is extremely intelligent, in his opinion, no matter which rich family she marries into, she will win enough benefits for the Xiao family, and the Xiao family's position in the Southern Dynasties will be more stable.
It was precisely because he valued it so much that he didn't want any surprises, so he asked Xiao Jin to go to Meishan specifically to let Lin Yi choose.
Who would have thought that Lin Yi would disobey him, and who would have thought that Lin Yi could go to such a step.
His chest was tight, his mind was spinning, and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment. At this moment, people outside the camp were roaring, horses were neighing, and then many footsteps were rushing towards his tent like a shower.
"After Zhongli's great victory, General Wei Rui received another urgent report. The army he led suffered very little damage and has been detached to cover up the attack."
As more than ten border army generals filed in, a veteran general bowed directly to him and said: "Commander Xiao, please order the army to attack. Given the current military situation, if the five frontier armies counterattack at the same time, there will be a great victory."
Xiao Hong took a deep breath, his heart was extremely angry, and his hands were trembling in his sleeves.
This is real forced labor.
But he knew very well that if his opinions were still contrary to these frontier generals today, a mutiny might immediately occur.
When the war is urgent, the general has no time to spare.
Dozens of carriages and 5,000 fine horsemen galloped northward in the moonlit night.
In the carriage of one of the carriages, Rong Yi and Wei Rui were sitting next to each other.
The carriage compartment is not very spacious and a bit cramped.
Rong Yi also looked a little embarrassed and uneasy.
"Chen Jinru begs for mercy and allows you to follow me. You learn from Master Jiugong, and I will teach you what I know. You have a bright future as a formation master in the army, why are you so reluctant to give up?" Wei Rui leaned on the soft cushion.
After resting, seeing that he was restless, he asked calmly.
"I made an oath in Meishan. This has nothing to do with the future." Rong Yi felt a little sad, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "If they really go to the border of Dangxiang, there will be many hardships and dangers, the sword pavilion will be withered, and the military strength will be insufficient."
"With Lin Yi's fighting power at this time, there is no need for you to be his valet. If you are his valet, I think he should always pay attention to your safety during the war." Wei Rui smiled brightly. He looked at Rong Yi, but there was something in his eyes.
He gradually showed some emotion.
What Chen Jinru said is true, this is indeed a very clean young man.
"You really can't imagine the meaning of Chen Jinru asking you to stay with me?" He looked at Rong Yi who looked a little sad and said softly.
Rong Yi was stunned.
He didn't quite understand the meaning of Wei Rui's words. Apart from letting him learn formation runes from Wei Rui, was there any other deeper purpose?
"You are the person next to Lin Yi, the brother who shares life and death with him. You being by my side means that Tie Cejun and our Mingwei Army have a deeper connection. If something happens to Tiece Jun in the future, won't you be able to come out?
With all my strength? If there is a conflict between Tie Ce's army and our border army in the future, I will also show some mercy for your sake. This is not much different from a powerful man marrying a daughter."
Wei Rui smiled faintly, "Chen Jinru is one of the best military strategists in the world after all. You should never think about why he would make a plan and let Tie Cejun try to go to the Dangxiang border."
Rong Yi was completely stunned.
"Whether the Dangxiang army can handle it or not is secondary. As a minister, the most important thing is to consider the emperor's thoughts."
Wei Rui glanced at him and said slowly: "Jian Wenhou and Lin Yi fought side by side and died in Zhongli. He had previously lived in seclusion at the junction of Dangxiang and our Southern Dynasty. Lin Yiruo took the initiative to express some iron strategies.
The emperor and Marquis Jian Wen had an old relationship. Before Marquis Jian Wen lived in seclusion, he himself felt guilty. In addition, Marquis Jian Wen died in battle. Even if Xiao Hong was very dissatisfied with Lin Yi, even if there were many
The remarks against Lin Yi reached the emperor's ears, and because of Marquis Jian Wen, the emperor should have softened his heart."
After a pause, Wei Rui looked at Rong Yi who was completely speechless and said, "What's more, a few years ago, Chen Jinru had already put forward the suggestion of abolishing heavy armor and replacing it with fire poison."
"What does it mean to waste heavy armor and heavy fire poison?" Rong Yi originally had no interest in these, but this matter related to Lin Yi and Tie Cejun, so he wanted to ask clearly.
"The fighting method of using true essence heavy armor and ordinary heavy armor to break the formation, and then charging with heavy cavalry was invincible in the world a hundred years ago. To this day, both the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty still invest a lot of financial and material resources in refining
These heavy armor workshops still rely heavily on these heavy armors during battles. But Chen Jinru feels that today is different from the past. In addition to heavy armor costs, inconvenience of transportation, and inability to fight for a long time, there are countless other things that cannot be compensated for.
Compared with heavy armor, many strange soldiers that have emerged in the past hundred years are very effective if equipped in large quantities and used in battle formations, and can restrain heavy armor. Firearms are one thing, and some poisons can be used, but these two
Xiang certainly aroused the resistance of many frontier generals who were accustomed to using heavy armor tactics, especially firearms, which were triggered by poisons. They were the same to both the enemy and ourselves, and the damage was somewhat difficult to control. What was directly rejected was that in the emperor's view, fire poison was too lethal.
Exceeding it is terrible and harms the harmony of heaven and earth."
Wei Rui thought for a while and said: "Dangxiang is good at firearms, but Dangxiang has insufficient craftsmen and the production is relatively crude. If paired with our excellent craftsmen from the Southern Dynasties, the things produced should be very exquisite and usable."
