Chapter 539: Attack and Defense Change Shape (asking for monthly ticket)

"Woof woof woof! Woo-woof!"

The barking of dogs echoed.

It was late autumn, the harvest season, and the farmland was golden. Zhou Laosan whistled, and the little yellow dog he had picked up had grown up and was very strong. It ran back with a fat vole in its mouth and placed the vole at Zhou Laosan's feet.

Then it lay there, wagging its tail vigorously to leave an afterimage, and barked as if offering a treasure. Zhou Laosan smiled and rubbed the dog's head, saying, "You, you, a dog trying to catch a mouse."

Da Huang had no idea what Zhou Lao San was talking about. He just jumped up, put his paws on Zhou Lao San's arms, barked and licked wildly with his tongue. Zhou Lao San laughed, but then cursed: "Fuck."

"What a stinky smell! Did you eat shit secretly again?!"

Zhou Laosan was furious and chased the big yellow dog with the iron knife. In his hand, the big knife with a dog's head carved on the handle that his comrades used, no longer needed to fight with others, but only to cut grass and wheat.

After returning from the battlefield, Dahuang became his good friend.

When Zhou Laosan came back with the big yellow dog, he saw several boys about twelve or thirteen years old huddled together on the ridge of the field. They were digging for something outside and discovered a vole's nest. There had been a good harvest in the past two years and there must be many good things in the vole's nest.

Several fat voles were running around in a panic.

Dahuang gave a powerful shout and pounced on the voles to "play" with them.

Zhou Laosan, who had just washed his face, let his old friend go and play. Suddenly, a vole moved very nimbly and shook off Da Huang, but was chased by a twelve-year-old boy who caught it with his hand.

No matter how hard the field mouse tried, it couldn't escape the young man's palm.

Zhou Laosan couldn't help but say, "Great palm technique, great light skill!"

The young man smiled shyly, but his friend next to him said proudly: "He is one of the top five students in Qinggong in our public school. He is very proficient in the Sky-raising Palm. Even the teachers may not be able to beat him!"

Zhou Laosan smiled and nodded, feeling somewhat sighing and envious.

He was the last member of the charging army under the command of Lieutenant General Guiziying in the third year of Tianhe. He has now retired and is living a very happy life. However, he feels a little envious when he looks at these young children.

They didn't have such systematic teaching back then.

There are no such resources.

Just that step, it is said that it was the superior light skill of chasing the wind from the arsenal of the royal family of Chen State. And that palm power was also the core skill of Motian Sect, which was once the largest sect in the north of Chen State.

Now it has been separated. Children from all over the country, after three to five years of building a solid foundation and their qi, blood and physical fitness have reached a certain level, can choose one of the many martial arts to learn.

This is a man named Yan Daiqing...

Hmm? Or should I say Western Region Yan Daiqing, or Southwestern Yan Daiqing?

Zhou Laosan touched his chin, and for a moment he was not sure which Yan Daiqing it was.

Although the world is so big that it is common for different people from different places to have the same name, but isn't Yan Daiqing a bit too much?

Anyway, it was the plan of a certain Mr. Yan Daiqing.

Martial arts that were more powerful than those of the Jianghu sects were directly taught to everyone in a systematic way. This led to the destruction of one of the two major foundations on which the Jianghu sects relied for their survival. People joined the Jianghu sects either to practice martial arts or to seek protection.

Nowadays, martial arts that are more powerful than most sect martial arts are taught in a systematic way.

There is also a series of elixirs from the famous Hou Zhongyu.

The Jianghu sect has lost all the appeal that made it so popular.

As a result, all the major sects in the martial arts world seemed to have no successors, and they all became quiet, with their resources cut off and their vitality severely damaged. There were far fewer cases of people breaking the law with force in the martial arts world.

The disciples from the martial arts sects nowadays cannot beat the young man from the Qin State who has undergone seven years of systematic training since childhood and whose equipment basically covers superior light skills, superior internal skills, a set of sophisticated external skills, a set of weapons, a set of boxing and kicking skills, and who is proficient in Hou's pharmacology.

He can fight and run, and is also good at poisoning and some medical skills.

Such a martial arts sect gradually declined.

And the world prospers.

It is now the autumn of the second year of Emperor Qin's reign. More than a year has passed since the last war. The territory of the State of Chen has been controlled. This prosperous land in the Central Plains has finally shown its true strength.

There were good harvests everywhere, and there was a peaceful atmosphere under the rule of the Qin Emperor.

Zhou Laosan held the knife, looking at the ugly dog ​​head on the handle, which was rubbed smooth. Thinking of his comrades who died in the battle, he said to himself, "What a pity! I hope you can see this day."

"That would be great."

His eyes were a little sore, but he just didn't care and said loudly:
"That's it!"

"You are unlucky! I am the only one who can show you!"

"Hahaha, you deserve my envy. It's my luck that I didn't die!"

The children looked curiously at the middle-aged man who was talking loudly to himself, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to someone else. Da Huang lay on the ground, wagging his tail, and looked at the field mice who were huddled together and shivering with a lively look.

The second year of Emperor Qin's reign was also the second year of Ying Daye.

Compared with the prosperity of Qin, it should also show stability and development.

After Emperor Ying Jiang Yuan ascended the throne, with the assistance of his ministers, he worked hard to govern the country, reduced taxes and levies, and restored the national strength of Ying to a certain extent. In the years before Jiang Wanxiang's death, he eliminated many aristocratic families within the country and made the administration clean and honest.

On this basis, with veteran ministers like Wei Yiwen still around, there wouldn't be any major disruptions to many political affairs. Gradually, there was a reputation of praising the saints in the court, but Jiang Yuan was not happy.

The sound of breaking through the air was clear. Jiang Yuan held a bow and casually shot arrows at the royal martial arts practice area. Next to him were ministers and eunuchs who bowed their heads to serve him. Seeing that Jiang Yuan's shots all hit the target, they all cooperated and shouted loudly: "Good, good archery!"

"Your Majesty is invincible!"

"Your Majesty's power!"

After a round of flattery, Jiang Yuan threw down the bow in his hand and drank, but he sighed and said, "Although it is refreshing to see the majesty of the king, it is ultimately not possible to be free and at ease."

Guanglu Dafu Guo Yanjun heard the music and understood its meaning, so he pretended to be surprised and said:

"The world is so vast, and the emperor's power is the most important. How can Your Majesty be restrained in the Great Ying Kingdom?!"

"Who is so bold!"

"audacious in the extreme!"

Jiang Yuan smiled but said nothing. After a long while, he finally sighed and said:
"It has been a year since I took the throne, and everything I have done has been in line with the teachings of the saints. Although there are not many wise rulers in ancient times who are better than me, the Grand Tutor is still staying in the capital, and Wei Yiwen is just like the late emperor is still here."

"These two people just rely on their age and look down on my wisdom!"

"Hateful! Hateful!"

Who?
Grand Tutor Jiang Su?

Guo Yanjun smacked his lips when he heard that, but he really didn't dare to say anything.

Grand Tutor Jiang Su is now undoubtedly the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple gold beam that spans the sea in the entire Daying State. However, for Jiang Yuan, after he ascended the throne, he was confined to the court and could not go out, which made him very depressed.

Becoming an emperor, yet being trapped here by such worldly affairs.

He reviewed memorials every day, looked through files, and discussed important matters with civil and military officials.

What's the point of this emperor's status? !

He felt depressed and increasingly unhappy.

Fortunately, he had people like Guo Yanjun to accompany him in fun, which helped him to relieve his anger. One day, Grand Tutor Jiang Su came again, and Jiang Yuan acted very conscientious. The Grand Tutor was wearing a black robe and cloak, with white hair standing upright, and was a head taller than Jiang Yuan.

The emperor was wearing a dragon robe that only reached Jiang Su's shoulders.

Although he was an emperor, he felt that he was being suppressed in front of Jiang Su, which made him quite unhappy, but he did not dare to show it.

Every move should be in accordance with etiquette.

Jiang Su could see through Jiang Yuan's disguise, but he didn't care. After a brief chat, he got straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty, we have had a year to recuperate, and our country has recovered. We entrust our country to you and me. I will go out to fight the enemy soon."

Jiang Yuan was delighted, but with a worried look on his face, he said, "Grandmaster, it has only been a year since I ascended the throne. Although I have worked diligently and with your assistance, I have stabilized the four directions to some extent, but there was a war a year ago. Would it be unwise to start another war now?"

Jiang Su looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan, who was pretending to be humble, felt his heart skip a beat.

Looking at the tall old man in front of him, it was as if he saw mountains and the world. It was as if the old man's body in front of him suddenly became extremely tall, and his eyes were cold, looking at him like a god.

Jiang Yuan's body froze slightly.

He felt his mind go blank, as if even if he was a king, the tall and solemn old man in front of him could just raise his hand and wipe him out with one move. An indescribable fear gripped his heart.

I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe just a moment, or maybe it has been a long time.

Jiang Su retracted his gaze and said, "Li Guanyi is a martial arts master. He is eight years younger than you, Your Majesty, but he has already swallowed the world. Even the former Red Emperor and Overlord cannot compare to him."

"And at his age, he is still far from reaching the limits of a warrior."

"Wait a few more years, until Li Guanyi's martial arts becomes stronger, and his army is strong and powerful, then I will no longer be his opponent. Then, Your Majesty, will you tie your hands and go to surrender the city?"

Jiang Yuanqiang smiled to himself and said, "Grandmaster, you are joking."

Jiang Su said: "I never like to joke around."

He turned around and said, "Your Majesty is in the country, handling state affairs. Wei Yiwen and others are old ministers and should be loyal to me. Your Majesty can listen to their suggestions." Jiang Su left with a sharp determination.

The death of Jiang Wanxiang, the consumption of the two wars, the ascension of the new emperor and many other things, even with Ying State's profound foundation, took more than a year to recover.

After Grand Tutor Jiang Su recovered from his injuries, he took up his sword without much hesitation and went to attack the King of Qin. He knew that he did not have much time left, as life span and the times were chasing him like invincible beasts.

The God of War knew that he didn't have much time left, that his peak was gradually slipping away, and that his divine spear, Jiemie, had not drunk blood for a long time and had become a little dull. He had to continue to gallop forward and defeat the enemy in the remaining time.

Even though we are already unable to do so, we still have to support this half of the world.

However, when he went to find Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang had not directly joined the Ying State. The Ying Emperor at that time went to invite Gao Xiang to meet him and promised him all kinds of gold, silver, beauties, high positions and generous salaries, but Gao Xiang refused them all.

Gold, silver, beauties, and Jiang Yuan's recruitment.

"...Such a person does not deserve to sit here."

"Jiang Wanxiang, is it because you are blind that you chose such a person?"

Divine General Gao Xiang's words were cold, and it was obvious that he looked down upon Jiang Yuan. He turned his mount, held the divine bow, and said, "If that is the case, the fate of Ying State has come to an end. I am not interested in serving under a useless person."

Jiang Yuan could still suppress his anger.

But after returning to the palace, he was particularly unhappy and extremely angry.

Jiang Su knew that he had to go to the battlefield as soon as possible. Taking the initiative on the battlefield would not allow Li Guanyi to continue to recuperate. In fact, although no major war broke out during this year, the fighting on the border between the two countries had never stopped.

When Jiang Su finished dealing with domestic affairs and was about to lead his troops out.

Military intelligence from the front came out——

The Qin Emperor personally led an army of 200,000 to invade the border!

Jiang Su's expression was cold and hard.

He had expected this kind of change, but he did not expect it to come so quickly. The King of Qin was no longer the young boy he used to be. In fact, after Jiang Wanxiang's death and the King of Qin occupied the original territory of the State of Chen, the national strength of both sides had changed.

The King of Qin is already slightly stronger than the State of Ying in terms of national strength.

The so-called overwhelming power is nothing more than this.

Jiang Su knew that according to the principles of military strategy, he absolutely could not follow the Qin Emperor's rhythm to take action now, but should get rid of the Qin Emperor's strategic influence and attack the place where the Qin Emperor must be rescued, only then could he possibly turn the situation around.

But the situation at the moment is.

The world is so vast, and no one except Jiang Su can stop the Qin Emperor's army.

Once Jiang Su went to another direction, the King of Qin would quickly break through the border and invade the country.

Replaying the strategy of the Wolf King Chen Fu-bi back then, the God of War Jiang Su had no choice but to lead an army of 200,000 to intercept Li Guan's troops. Because of the Qin Emperor's determination, a medium-scale conflict broke out between the two sides within the borders of Ying State.

When the armies faced each other, the Emperor of Qin did not retreat.

But Jiang Su had no way to defeat Li Guanyi quickly.

At the same time, there was an open plan to send troops. Yue Pengwu led a large army northward and had arrived at Zhenbei City. The army was guarding the city, and there was a faint sense of sharp military force pointing towards Daying State from the north.

Up and down, this is exactly the way Ying State attacked Qin last year.

Now, the opposite approach has been taken and used against Ying State, which has forced Ying State into great discomfort. It should be noted that with a famous general like Yue Pengwu, there is no need to really send troops. Just lining up the battle line here, about to move but not yet moving, has already forced Ying State to be on guard.

Jiang Yuan was delighted, and ordered the mighty general Yuwen Lie to go to the north to guard against Yue Pengwu.

Yuwen Lie looked at the imperial edict, sneered, and claimed to be ill and refused to go.

He only looked at Yuwen Tianxian and Yuwen Hua, and said, "If I leave, King Zhao will be in danger." The former crown prince Jiang Gao was now named King Zhao. He was just an idle prince without real power, and was not sent out to guard a place. He only wrote some articles in the capital.

Jiang Yuan urged him several times, but Yuwen Lie always claimed to be ill and refused to go.

Jiang Yuan was very unhappy and wanted to send He Ruo to capture the tiger, but then he remembered that his father was attacked by the Wolf King. He still hoped to keep a brave general to protect him, but Qin Yulong was the son-in-law of the Xue family.

He was doubtful whether Qin Yulong would surrender to Ying State, so he was reluctant to send him out. After careful consideration, and because He Ruo captured the tiger as a guarantor, he gave the order to send Qin Yulong out as a general, but left his wife and children in the imperial city.

But he said: "General, go and fight for your country!"

His face remained calm, and he still looked like a wise and virtuous king.

Qin Yulong was also an experienced man, and he knew that he could not refuse for the sake of his country, so he visited Yuwen Lie and entrusted him with the safety of his family. Yuwen Lie said succinctly, "When your majesty passed away, he said that General Qin was a loyal minister and a good general for the country."

"Don't worry, your family, wife and children will be taken care of by Yuwen Lie."

"Absolutely no worries."

Qin Yulong bowed again to express his gratitude before leading his troops out and driving them northward. His army also formed a battle array to confront Yue Pengwu from a distance. The two sides' arrogance clashed, but there was no real battle, just a balance of power.

........................

Li Guanyi was biting a fruit in his mouth.

Qilin was lying on his shoulder with three fruits stuffed in his mouth. On the table in the camp was a large marching map. Li Guanyi held a pen in one hand and calmly sketched out each trace.

It's a cross.

The white-haired girl next to her stood on tiptoe to look with a blank expression on her face.

The Qin Emperor lazily rested his elbow on the girl's head.

Pressed down her tiptoes.

The silver-haired girl stood on tiptoes again.

Li Guanyi pushed her down again.

The silver-haired girl shook her head slightly, expressing slight dissatisfaction, but did not push Li Guanyi's arm away.

If seen by the silver-haired man who was still working overtime with Old Siming to reinforce the city defense formation, he would probably shed two lines of blood and tears on the spot and howl to the sky.

It was precisely because of Yaoguang's magical assistance that Li Guanyi and his brothers were able to play hide-and-seek with the military god Jiang Su in the border of Ying State.

At this moment, the location of the army's confrontation is in the country of Ying, but not far from the south of the Yangtze River. The support from the rear is ready, so it can be said that the retreat is also extremely fast. After a year of recuperation, a large part of the territory and heritage of Chen State was finally digested.

If I were to discuss the many things involved in detail, it would probably take a lot of time and effort, and would take up countless files.

But in short -

His Majesty the Emperor Qin.

I have money again!

While harvesting crops, Li Guanyi judged the situation and launched a surprise attack on Ying State in advance. With General Yue as the spearhead, he remotely pinned down the military power of Ying State and avoided the possibility of Jiang Su leading a large army to attack.

He tinkered with Jiang Wanxiang's tactics for a while and used them against Ying State.

When Li Guanyi led his army to attack Ying State.

The opposing army was shocked at first.

Naturally, they could not be a match for the King of Qin.

Originally, when they found out that the opposing army had 200,000 troops, they could no longer laugh. But when they saw the leader of these 200,000 troops, a young man with white temples, wearing ink-colored heavy armor, a scarlet robe with qilin cloud patterns on the sleeves, holding a halberd, and with his temples covered with white hair.

The generals defending the entire Yingguo city were all confused.

Retreat faster than you went out to fight and close the city gates tightly!

Cast copper and iron.

Locked up to death!

Facing the Qin Emperor, he was one of the most powerful generals in the world.

Are there any other options besides this?
In the past few years, they have studied countless tactics and finally discovered the best option for ordinary generals to deal with this situation. They immediately followed the tactics of Lu Youxian, the former general of the State of Chen, and directly stacked armor to build a city.

Now that things have come to this, let’s defend the city first!
Then they looked at the smile on the face of His Majesty the Qin Emperor.

Then he reached behind his back, and with a click, he pulled out a flashing sword.

sickle.

The general defending the city of Ying State was dumbfounded to see that the Emperor of Qin personally led a group of fierce bandits of the Qilin Army to directly cut up the grain fields in the surrounding cities. According to the tradition of the Qilin Army, they would not harm the civilians, but they chopped up all the wheat planted by the army in the city.

It's like a bunch of poor ghosts were reincarnated.

Then the guy named Fan Qing came out and started talking to the people about something that they couldn't understand.

The general guarding the city sent someone to inquire.

How wonderful.

Fifteen people went out and three came back.

What Fan Qing talked about was very simple.

It mainly revolves around three points.

[Divide the land][Divide the land], and [Divide the land].

The general guarding the city was furious and said, "With the majesty of the Emperor Qin and the might of the Qilin Army, you actually came here to rob my wheat fields and cause chaos to the people! How dare you do this!"

"Left and right! Bring me my weapons!"

The captains brought a Xuanhua axe and the general strode out.

Climbing up the city wall and looking from afar, he saw the Emperor Qin himself discussing something. It seemed that his gaze was too eye-catching and noticeable. The young man over there raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

He also greeted me happily.

The general was silent.

He turned around and went back, and saw that his subordinates were dumbfounded, so he was furious:
"That's Emperor Qin, otherwise you can go fight them!"

He threw down the weapon in his hand, stretched out his hand, and shouted: "Come here, bring the flying eagle. Watch me fly the eagle to send a message to the capital that the God of War Jiang Su is coming. You and I, together with the Grand Tutor, will attack from both sides and we will surely be able to defeat him in one blow!"

The eagle flew out.

Then it was cut off by Caoyuan Xiangrui as a snack.

The Fire Kylin takes a breath of Kylin Fire, which is 70% cooked.

It is the taste that is most suitable for people of good fortune.

So when Jiang Su led his army to arrive, he saw only the harvested wheat fields, which were as bare as the general's hair, and the people who had been indoctrinated with certain ideas. He was secretly angry, so he gave chase and finally had a battle with Li Guanyi.

No one could do anything to anyone else, it was just a battle between two armies.

Jiang Su just thought that the Qilin Army was eating food from Daying.

There is a fire of ignorance burning deep in my heart.

………………

Mr. Pojun looked through the records and said, "There is enough food and grass for us. We will attack in autumn. My lord, are you trying to save food?"

Li Guan remained calm and said, "How is that possible!"

"When I was young, I passed by a stall and an old man named Sun told me about the art of war. He said, 'A wise general must get food from the enemy. One catty of enemy food is equivalent to twenty catties of ours; one stone of enemy stalks is equivalent to twenty stones of ours.'"

"Everything we do now is in line with the essence of military strategy."

"How could it be to save food?!"

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"I am the Emperor of Qin!"

A cricket chirped nearby: "Poor Emperor Qin."

The corner of Po Jun's mouth twitched as he watched the Emperor Qin stretch out his hand and grab. Gu Chen's unique Zhou Youliu energy burst out, and he grabbed a beautiful woman out, clamped her under his elbow, and drilled into her forehead with his protruding fingers, causing her to scream like a weak chicken.

Li Guan remained calm: "Nothing."

"only……"

"We have always been invaded by Jiang Su. The world is so big, how can they come and go as they please in Tiance Mansion? Now, it's just a matter of attack and defense!"

Nangong Wumeng said stubbornly: "Then why don't you fight?!"

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Because I can't beat him."

Nangong Wumeng was stunned: "Huh?"

Li Guanyi said, "With three hundred years of national prosperity and Jiang Wanxiang's decades of hard work, Ying State has too deep and strong a foundation. If we fight fiercely, there will only be one outcome, that is, both sides will fight to the death and use up all their blood."

"The world has fallen into desolation."

"It's better to wait for it to go wrong on its own."

Nangong Wumeng was puzzled: "I made a mistake."

Li Guanyi said, "Yes, a country with a lifespan of three hundred years is just like the Chen Kingdom in the past. Even if the giants are dead, they will not die out so quickly. If you kill them from the outside, you will not be able to kill them all in a short time, and they will only decline from within."

"For example, aristocratic family, for example..."

Po Jun said softly: "Jiang Yuan."

In the Ying State Palace, the emperor sat on the throne.

Jiang Su went to war, Qin Yulong went north, and Yuwen Lie claimed to be ill.

So Emperor Ying shook his body.

Feeling free from constraints.

Of course you can, just go ahead and do it!
