There are nine states in Dayan, and Fengzhou is one of them.
Fengzhou is the fiefdom of King Feng. In terms of official rank, King Feng, like Shen Wanjun, is a king with a different surname from the Great Yan Dynasty.
It's just that during the war, Shen Wanjun made the most meritorious service and showed the most glory. Therefore, the late emperor added an extra sentence on the day he was crowned king - the King of Jin should be the head of the kings with different surnames.
But until the late emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, no one in the hundreds of kingdoms and dynasties who were frightened by Shen Wanjun dared to have a bad idea about Dayan anymore. As a result, the peaceful days passed for a long time, and many people forgot about the battlefield. The Shenwu General is so domineering and terrifying.
…
In the early years, Shen Wanjun followed the late emperor's order and divided the Sixiang Camp's 200,000 elite soldiers into four.
Jinzhou is located in the extreme south, leaving General Qinglong and his 50,000 Qinglong soldiers to guard it in case foreign countries outside the southern border dare to invade.
Fengzhou and Shuzhou are located in the far west. White Tiger General Zhu Mo and his 50,000 White Tiger soldiers were sent to take charge. Each of them was divided into 25,000 elite troops to cooperate with the soldiers of King Feng and King Shu to guard the western border.
Liangzhou and Tongzhou are in the far north. General Xuanwu General You Qiuxin and his 50,000 Xuan warriors were sent to take charge. They were divided into two parts like the 50,000 White Tiger warriors. Each left 25,000 elite troops to guard the north together with King Liang and King Tong. territory.
The remaining extreme eastern position is guarded by the only all-female lineup among the Four Elephant Generals - General Suzaku Qin Yue and fifty thousand Suzaku soldiers, together with King Lan and King You.
As a result, Zhu Mo, You Qiuxin, and Qin Yue were unable to take root in just one state like Xu Longyi. Instead, they had to travel between two states. They had to travel across states every year. Compared with It's even more laborious.
However, when making this arrangement, Shen Wanjun also considered that the three of them might not care about the head but the tail, so he assigned three second-grade generals - Po Jun, Qisha, and Greedy Wolf to Bai Hu and Suzaku respectively. , Xuanwu as deputy general.
If the three generals are not in the camp for a certain period of time, and some events happen in the camp that require a family leader to make decisions, the deputy general can quickly convey the news to the general and make decisions for him first. , so as not to delay the military situation and damage the country.
The conversation changed.
It has been more than a month since Lao Qian left Jin Prince's Mansion.
Jinzhou is not close to the border with Fengzhou, but Lao Qian, who was focused on Shen Liang, did not waste a moment and arrived at the Chifeng Mountains as quickly as possible.
And this incident happened less than half a month ago.
In the past half month, it only took Lao Qian half a day to clear away the dust on the road.
His martial arts status has hardly improved since he entered the "retirement" in Prince Jin's Mansion, but he has not regressed even half a point.
Therefore, he didn't need to make any preparations. He had the ice gourd and ice ladle made of thousands of years of ice. If the matter was within his ability, he only needed to put out the true energy barrier and walk to the center of the magma to take out the phoenix marrow.
But if this matter is not within his ability, then even if he lives in the Chifeng Mountains for ten or eight more years, there is a high probability that the outcome will not change.
After all, when one has reached his level in martial arts, it is already difficult to improve one's level by just breathing in and condensing Qi.
Unless you encounter some great opportunity, or you have been returning to your original nature for too long, and suddenly a light of inspiration flashes through you, you can hope to touch the real land of fairyland.
As for now...
Even if he is only halfway to the land fairyland, no one knows how difficult it is to take the remaining half step than he who has stayed in this realm for nearly twenty years.
So Lao Qian, who is ready for everything, has been at his destination for almost half a month, why hasn't he set off to get the phoenix marrow yet?
The reason is that three days before he arrived here, Zhu Mo had just changed defenses and left Fengzhou for Shuzhou. Zhu Mo's departure, coupled with the permanent soldiers assigned to this volcano, often caused friction with the people under King Feng. The long-standing grievances made it difficult for Lao Qian to take action without using force.
The volcano where Fengxui is located is the tallest in the entire Chifeng Mountains. It is a thousand feet high and is barren of grass. Especially on the side of the mountain next to the border of the Xisha Dynasty. If a strong wind blows, the Chifeng Mountains will be shrouded in the sky. The environment in the flying sand is extremely harsh and unbearable for people.
fortunately.
The mountains in the Chifeng Mountains are "strong enough in the lower body" and the mountain roads are gentle, making it easier for the state to transport supplies to the mountains.
This mountain range, this natural danger, is the western border of the Dayan Dynasty and the Xisha Dynasty. In other words, if the Xisha Dynasty wants to raise troops to invade, they must cross the mountain from the Chifeng Mountains. In the same way, if the Dayan Dynasty wants to invade If you want to defend the western border from foreign enemies, you need to station troops on every mountain all year round. Otherwise, if you open a hole and allow foreign enemies to sneak into Dayan smoothly, it will be a disadvantage to defend the border and put Dayan in the danger of national disaster. The crime of the Nine Clans!
As a result, the 50,000 White Tiger soldiers stationed in Fengzhou and Shuzhou were further broken into pieces by Zhu Mo. According to the number of mountains and forests in the entire Chifeng Mountain Range, they were evenly distributed to each mountain to help defend with the generals of the state.
The highest mountain where Fengxui is located is the base camp of Baihu Camp in Fengzhou.
On weekdays, even if Zhu Mo is not around, Vice General Po Jun will never leave this place.
The secondary reason is to facilitate the overall strategic planning of Baihu Camp in Fengzhou.
The main reason is to guard the phoenix marrow to prevent others from taking advantage of it and steal the phoenix marrow, which is a rare and rare divine object.
"General Xiahou, food and grass are already in short supply on the mountain. Now our brothers can only rely on plain porridge to satisfy their hunger every day. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't have the strength to defend the Western Territory anymore!"
In a tent fifty feet away from the crater, a third-level general with a black face and white armor spoke anxiously.
Opposite him, the young man sitting firmly at the desk looked like a powerful figure. Although he was smaller than the mute slave, but compared with ordinary people, he could be said to stand out from the crowd. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and seems to have the physical characteristics of well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but he is definitely a man of roughness and finesse, otherwise he would not be dubbed the general of the broken army by Shen Wanjun.
Xia Hougong, the general of the Po Army, could not help but have his face smeared by the flying ash from the volcano. This is not to say that all the soldiers on the mountain are slovenly. The main reason is that the supplies have not been delivered for many days, and the water on the mountain is not enough to drink. , who dares to secretly separate a tub to wash the body?
However, the leader is the leader after all. Xia Hougong did not show any panic on his face, and he was still practicing calligraphy and cultivating his mind on the rice paper made in his hometown.
"How much food, grass and water are left on the mountain?"
The general answered truthfully.
"There are more than 2,000 soldiers of our White Tiger Camp on the mountain. We have less than ten shi of rice left, and there are still three and a half tanks of water. No matter how frugal we are, we can only last for five days at most. The main reason is that there is too little water. This crater It’s been very hot recently, and in the past few days, more than a hundred brothers have had chapped lips, fire blisters in their mouths, and are on the verge of fainting.”
After Xia Hougong finished writing the last word, he stood up on his knees.
"Send my order and all the troops must assemble."
