Chapter 414

In a twinkling of an eye, three days later, the tide of animals that had occupied Jiguan mountain for ten days finally began to move, and the boundless sea of animals seemed to submerge the whole wasteland.

If someone looks down from Qingmu mainland at this time, they will find that in the south of zhennanguan, the huge animal tide is threatening the sky, and the blood is constantly moving towards zhennanguan. In the southwest, there are two human armies, one in front of the other in the wilderness. At the same time, in Huangyan River, an army that has just crossed the river begins to move northward. To the north of zhennanguan, Fenghuang guards, which were originally gathered near Qingquan City, began to enter strategic positions and construct Qingquan defense line. A large-scale canal fleet is also going south along the North-South canal.

With the tide of beasts coming to the north, Da Qian's troops began to mobilize and gather. The war was imminent, and the whole world was filled with the atmosphere of killing. It seems that the surging blood gathered by the animal tide and the surging military spirit scattered in Qingquan city and zhennanguan have slightly changed the climate of Southern Xinjiang in this winter. The originally sunny sky is now covered with dark clouds, giving people a sense of urgency that mountain rain is coming and dark clouds are pressing down on the city.

The change of blood gas in the direction of Jiguan mountain was felt by yuxiayi and Yunshu in Zhennan pass for the first time. They quickly told the news to Shen Zhang and Gu Huaiyi, who were in charge of zhennanguan military affairs.

"Here we are." After hearing what Yunshu and yuxiayi said, Shen Zhang and Gu Huaiyi looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. It has been nearly ten days since the beast tide forward left, because he knew that most of the beast tide stayed near Jiguanshan, and the whole southern pass was in a sense of pressing.

Before, the vanguard of beast tide attacked zhennanguan under the leadership of mountain shaking bear, which made zhennanguan understand the strength and danger of beast tide. If it wasn't for Yunshu and yuxiayi's joint efforts to stop the mountain shaking bear, then Zhuo bird suddenly came, and the gate of zhennanguan might even be broken by the mountain shaking bear.

But this kind of thing can not be done again, even if the purple Phoenix Zhuo will still help them, but with their current strength, they will not risk the nirvana. According to the news, there are still ten low-level fierce beasts like the mountain shaking giant bear in the animal tide. Under them, there are nearly 100 fierce beasts of xuanjie and huangjie. On top of them, there is golden winged Dapeng, the divine beast that controls the whole animal tide.

Just because everyone knows this, in the past ten days, the whole South Gate of the town was closed to the army commander and commander, which scared the ordinary soldiers into a kind of extreme tension. It was like a tight bow string. Maybe it would break when it reached its limit. However, during the ten days, the animal tide had been sitting in Jiguan mountain, which made Shen Zhang and Gu Huaiyi feel a little anxious at the same time.

They have been in the army for many years, and they know very well in their hearts that if they are in a state of imminent war for a long time and can't get a relaxed army, they may have problems at any time, because once they are in a tight state for a long time in their hearts, the string in their hearts may collapse at any time. Now they are relieved to hear that the animal tide has finally moved. Instead of keeping zhennanguan in a state of tension, they are more willing to fight with the animal tide. No matter what the final result is, it's better than the feeling that the butcher's knife is hanging around his neck.

"Ring the alarm, order the battalions to enter the state of war, check the weapons, and enter the city for defense." Shen Zhang believed in the feelings of Yunshu and yuxiayi, the two most powerful men, and did not send the detective cavalry to confirm them again. He gave the military order directly to the messenger.

"Nuo ~" the messenger saluted and turned to leave. Not long after, the bell representing the enemy's attack in Zhennan pass was rung. The soldiers in the pass were stunned when they heard the bell. They immediately put down their business and assembled on the wall. Countless weapons and arrows were transported to the wall at the same time.

"The tide of animals has finally moved." At the same time, in Qingquan City, a middle-aged man wearing Tenglong battle armor and a blood red cloak is standing on the tallest ancient pagoda in Qingquan City, overlooking the southern sky. This man is Wu'an Hou Bai Yi, who has just arrived, but has taken over the power of Phoenix guard.

With the arrival of Bai Yi, the original treacherous clear spring undercurrent instantly restored calm. You know, Bai Yi is known as Da Qian's murderer. In the battle of zhennanguan in those years, after the defeat of the Allied forces of Tianxing and Nanli, few of them fled back to the country. Whether they surrendered or not, they were executed on the spot by Bai Yi. In the face of this kind of ruthless man, who has a military order of tens of thousands of people landing without blinking an eye, no matter how powerful the southern Xinjiang aristocratic family is, they can only honestly restrain their edge and dare not make any radical moves.

You should know that Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an, is a minister of Qianhuang's hidden residence. This time he went south, besides controlling the top ten Phoenix guards and building a second line of defense in the front line of Qingquan City, he and Lu que had the power of discretion. In other words, as long as Bai Yi feels that the aristocratic family gathered in Qingquan city will do harm to future wars, he can wield a butcher's knife without asking the emperor for an order or reporting to the court.

In the face of such a person, how can we not let the aristocratic families in southern Xinjiang gathered in Qingquan city feel frightened. Since Bai Yi's arrival, many families have honestly followed the arrangement of Asian Prime Minister Liu Buyi and went to the north of Changqing river. In name, they were ordered by the imperial court to avoid the fierce animal tide, but in fact, they were all in order to stay away from Bai Yi.

"Is Bai Shuai worried about the war in zhennanguan?" Hearing Bai Yi's words, Yan Zheng, who is standing behind Bai Yi, asks.

"Worried?" Bai Yi shakes his head strangely and asks, "I've heard that you are Tsai Fu, Wang Zuo Zhicai. Who are you worried about? Shen Zhang and Gu Huaiyi in Zhennan pass, Lu que on the North Bank of Danshui, Gu Huairen and Wei Jiu who stay in Tianxing, or Zhongyang king who has taken the general route with the two armies of wind and Huxiao?"

Yan Zheng doesn't answer Bai Yi's words immediately. Instead, he picks his eyebrows slightly. It's better to meet him than to be famous for his secret ways. This Wu'an Hou Bai Yi is really a madman. Among the people he just mentioned, except Zhongyang king, the others are all directly named.

Among these people, Gu Huairen, the Duke of Ding, is a military prime minister. He is superior to Bai Yi in both official position and title. Shen Zhang and Wei Jiu were among the thirty-six civil and military Marquis with Bai Yi. Lu que was the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang at that time, and Bai Yi was also the commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang at that time. According to the truth, he was also the commander-in-chief of Lu que at that time. However, Bai Yi called these people by their first names, and there was not much respect in his words, just as he called them, It's a matter of course.

At this time, Yan Zheng suddenly thought of Lu Que's comment on Bai Yi, the Marquis of Wu'an, in a chat on his way to the south of the imperial capital: "Marquis of Wu'an is a military strategist. When the two armies fight against each other, it is impossible for the world to be him, but he is not suitable for the court."

At this time, Yan Zheng savored this sentence carefully, and felt that Lu Que's words were really penetrating, while Bai Yizhi's military was the most famous general. But with his character, in the treacherous strife and struggle, even with his Majesty's protection, he could not survive.

However, his personality is just right for his present personality, because Bai Yi is the most afraid of those aristocratic families who have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, because Bai Yi, who has the power of the emperor in his hands, will not talk about rules with these people at all. As long as he touches his bottom line, he will have a sword to reason with these families.

"Bai Shuai is a famous commander who has made great achievements in the war. I'm just a scholar who has just heard about the world. How can I guess Bai Shuai's mind?" Yan Zheng said with a smile.

"It's just like what you say. It's not painful, but you have such a mind when you are young. It seems that the rumors are true." Bai Yi hears speech to turn round to look up and down speech is a few eyes, open mouth to say.

"Bai Shuai praised me falsely." Yan Zheng smiles and ignores the irony in Bai Yi's words.

Although Wu'an Hou Bai Yi's surname is Bai, it has little to do with the Bai family. After all, the Bai family had its foundation in the period of Da Xuan in the former dynasty. In the period of Da Qian's founding, because Bai paojun, one of the four founding heroes, was granted the hereditary Duke of the country, he reached the peak. After thousands of years of division and reproduction, there were many people with the Bai family all over Da Qian, At best, Bai Yi traces back to more than ten generations, which should be the same ancestor as the Bai family.

When Bai Yi was still in Qianhuang's hidden residence, the Bai family of Huguo wanted him to belong to the Bai clan of Huguo, but Bai Yi, who was young and proud at that time, refused. After the battle of zhennanguan, Bai Yi was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an. The Bai family sent people to the military camp to discuss the matter with Bai Yi Shang. However, Bai Yi still didn't give any face to the founding government. Originally, many people thought that Bai Yi was afraid of being taboo by the emperor, so it was a kind of wisdom to protect himself, Bai Yi really doesn't like Xun GUI's family.

Although he was born in a poor family, Bai Yi was quite different from the three heroes of that year. Lu Chun, Duke of Wei, and Bai Lijia, Duke of Zhi, were all good at both military and political affairs, and Ji Zhiheng was good at dancing. Although they didn't like Xun GUI's family, they didn't show it. However, Bai Yi clearly expressed his disgust. Only by looking at his Longxiang army and the generals and captains from top to bottom, all of them were from poor families, we can see how bad his attitude towards xungui and poor families was.

For such a person, no matter what kind of words he says, Yan Zheng is actually ready. However, it is also true that when Lu Chun and Lu Que's father and son were divided into the northern and southern regions, only Wu'an Marquis Bai Yi could frighten the situation in Qingquan, because he was a man who really dared to fight against each other and nip all the dangers in the bud. Perhaps because of this, Lu que wrote to the emperor and transferred Bai Yi here.

Hearing Yan Zheng's reply, Bai Yi turned his lips noncommittally, looked at the southern sky and said, "your three battalions are not affiliated to the top ten Phoenix guards, so they are not controlled by me. What's more, you represent little Marshal Lu here, and you are qualified to discuss with him. Now you can go with me."

"Go? Where are you going? " Yan Zheng hears a Leng, some don't understand Bai Yi's meaning. When Lu que left, he was given the right of discretion, so the Third Battalion of Changqing was not controlled by Prime Minister Liu Buyi and Marquis Bai Yi of Wu'an. He had a lot of autonomy, but even after Bai Yi arrived, he also had the opinion of Bai Yi. If Bai Yi had something to tell him, he didn't have to discuss with him. He didn't know where Bai Yi was going.

"To see Liu Xiang, of course." Bai Yi frowned slightly at Yan Zheng and looked at him in disappointment. He said, "I ask you, yesterday Zuo qingluan Wei was transferred to zhennanguan by Xiaolu Shuai, but you and Liu Xiang deployed the military supplies in the fleet? What's the quantity? "

"There are 500000 tons of military grain in total. Liu Xiang and I have calculated that these military grains will be enough for the officers and soldiers of zhennanguan in one month." Yan Zheng is also frowning, he knows that Wu'an Hou Bai Yi will not mention this for no reason, but for a moment he didn't think of Guan Qiao's answer.

"For January?" White smiled scornfully, and said, "if it hadn't been for the Nanjiang government office, it had been located in the town of Nanguan. There would be grain reserves in the area. If it were not for land shortage, the whole southern warehouse would be moved to the south gate before the war. The four hundred thousand officers and men in Nanguan will die in the hands of you and Liu Xiang, and become the spirit of resentment and grievance.

"How could it be?" Yan Zheng was shocked and said, "there are 400000 soldiers in Zhennan pass. Even if you add Zuo qingluan Wei who just went south, it's only 440000. Even in wartime, the physical consumption is huge, and 500000 loads of military supplies are enough to support one month."

"You only count people. What about the war beasts? Have you forgotten that there are 50000 thunder riders in Zhennan pass?" Bai Yi looks at Yan Zheng and shouts sternly.

Yan Zheng felt his whole body tremble and his face turned white. As Bai Yi said, there is one of the two most powerful heavy cavalry of Daqian in Guanzhong, Zhennan. Compared with the 400000 troops, the 50000 heavy cavalry beasts are the real food consumers. Otherwise, Daqian's national strength will not be divided into the north and south of Daqian. It's really because it's too wasteful to feed the two heavy cavalry beasts, Even with great national strength, it can only support 100000 people.

Before, he and his prime minister Liu no doubt thought that when they approved the grain and grass to go out of the warehouse, they thought that 500000 Dan was more than enough to support one month. Now it seems that one million Dan a month is a little less. At this time, Yan Zheng understood why Lu que had moved almost all the reserves of nanjingcang to zhennanguan before the war. Now there are only half a million Dan of grain and grass in the official ship going south, which has to be said to be a huge mistake made by him and Liu no doubt.
