On Xingshan Mountain, Wu Gen, with a dark face, took Ji Yan around to choose a house. In the end, Ji Yan fell in love with Wu Gen's Wangbei Tower and moved in without any ceremony with a group of maids.
After Ji Chen's banquet that day, Ji Yan found Wu Gen early in the morning and insisted on following him to Xingshan, not wanting to stay in Hanlu City even if he was killed.
No matter how Ji Ye and Wu Gen tried to persuade her, Ji Yan was just a bastard who bit her fingers and refused to let go. In desperation, Wu Gen had to agree to take her back to Xingshan.
Before leaving, Wu Gen asked Ji Ye for some passes. Yang Zheng, Hu Jia and the others planned not to return to Xingshan for the time being, but to wander around Iron Shou Province, surveying the terrain, customs and customs, and feeling out the current situation of several families.
When the three of them travel, Yang Zhenghui acquires the art of disguise and can disguise himself as a shepherd. But if you have a waist card, you can still save a lot of trouble.
After coming out of Hanlu City, Wu Gen separated from the three people and accompanied Ji Yan back to Xingshan. Ji Yan pestered Wu Gen this time, obviously to avoid her brother's proposed marriage, but in reality she was not interested in drinking, but she was eyeing Shui Congyue.
Unlike the human race, shepherd women dare to love and hate, and it often happens that women chase men, so Ji Ye stopped talking after a few words of persuasion.
Now Wu Gen was in trouble. He was afraid that this aunt would be too enthusiastic and offend Shui Congyue.
Fortunately, Ji Yan became much quieter after arriving in Xingshan. She changed into plain white clothes and spent the whole day reading by the window in the building.
Looking from a distance, among the white walls and black tiles, there are several rugged plum trees. There is a beautiful woman holding a soft hair, holding her chin with one hand, looking at the snowy mountains in the distance.
Such a charm reminds people of the plain pear blossoms in the faint sunlight, and it naturally attracts the attention of many people.
It's a pity that every time the water passes by the moon, it never raises its head to take a look. It feels like there are only skeletons in the world.
Looking at Ji Yan who remained the same every day, Wu Gen couldn't help but sigh. This little girl was using her strength in the wrong direction.
Thinking about the Shui family, they are both a master of spiritual practice and a family of poets and writers. I don’t know how many beautiful and smart ladies like this I have seen since I was a child.
Ji Yan abandons the toughness of a shepherd girl and instead learns the softness and femininity of a herdsman girl. This is really taking advantage of one's shortcomings and discarding one's strengths. Finally, before the Fearless Army was ready to go on an expedition, Wu Gen couldn't bear it anymore and secretly found Ji Yan.
One side is your own brother, and the other side is your own brother and sister. You should always mention one or two things. If you can succeed, you can succeed. If you can't, it will be bad for anyone.
"Ji Yan, I already know your thoughts, but with your current state, this is not an option." In Wangbei Tower, Wu Gen looked at Ji Yan sincerely.
After staying in the building for many days, Ji Yan's face became paler, her long eyelashes drooped, she pouted and said aggrievedly: "But what can I do? I heard that your human race is so gentle and graceful, so I forced myself to do it." He is studying and painting here, but he ignores me. Am I really that ugly? Wu Gen." Wu Gen has never seen Ji Yan act so pretentiously as his little daughter, and quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no. , you are extremely beautiful. Ji Ye repeatedly told me that you have a stubborn temper, and I am afraid that you will not be able to think about it. I am very familiar with Cong Yue, and he is naturally an ambitious person. It is not good for this kind of romance, with the music and the music. After two years On the day, the fearless army will go out to suppress the rebellion. It is better to show your strengths and follow him to fight before the war. Maybe he will look at you differently and I don’t know what you want. Of course, you are not asked to go into battle in person, as long as you sit in the battle. That's it." In fact, the reason why Wu Gen persuaded Ji Yan to go there was that on the one hand he really wanted to give the two people a chance to get closer. On the other hand, with the three young masters of the Ji family sitting in the battle, some families would be more restrained and would not be afraid of the fearless military. Have evil thoughts.
After all, there are still many newcomers in the Fearless Army at this time, and their combat capabilities are uneven. When encountering these big families, Wu Gen can bear even a secret poke.
Ji Yan's eyes lit up and she stood up.
"This is very good, it is exactly what I am good at. Wait, I will bring my men and horses with me."
"Okay, that's it. You need to prepare and recover in the next two days." Wu Gen looked at the other party's pale face and couldn't help but sigh. When a woman is infatuated, she won't care about anything.
Three days later, the Fearless Army reorganized their troops at the foot of Xingshan Mountain, preparing to travel to quell the rebellion. This time the Fearless Army planned to dispatch 1,500 people, plus Ji Ye's 1,500 people, the number would be 3,000.
The two armies marched together. The nominal commander was Ji Yan, but the actual coordinators were Wu Gen and Xue Xin. The real leader of the Fearless Army this time is Shui Congyue, and this is also the first time he has led the Fearless Army into battle.
In order to counter the rebellion this time and to fit in with the fearless army's fighting style, Shui Congyue even carved an inscription into her body against her will.
You must know that he is an extremely proud person, a person who disdains to ask for any help. Even after entering the fifth realm, he suppressed his own potential field and only used his own body to deal with the enemy.
What they are going to exterminate this time is a group of horse thieves. They are said to be horse thieves. After many years of plundering, in fact, they have already broken away from the days of wandering and robbing everywhere and established their own camp.
This group of horse thieves, including their family members, has a total of five or six thousand people. Such a large force, according to the rules of the shepherds, will not be able to become a family in another two years, turn from black to white, and become one of the many in the Iron Hand Province. One of the dominant forces.
At the beginning, various families would still encircle and suppress the horse thieves. However, with the restructuring turmoil in recent years, families of all sizes have intentionally or unintentionally allowed the growth of the horse thieves, which allowed them to grow to such an extent, thus giving rise to The Ji family's rule caused chaos.
Because there are many rebellions, large and small, it is impossible for the Ji family to send out their precious guards to kill such small but extremely vital gangsters. Most of them have to rely on nearby families.
Now the major families are passive and slow in their work, deliberately forcing the horse thieves to move to the territory directly under the Ji family, and finally settled in a place called Cuisong Mountain.
Now the various families are even more reluctant to send troops and just sit back and watch the Ji family's jokes. The great cause of counterinsurgency that Wu Gen often talks about refers to such people.
As for those families recognized by the Ji family, they cannot be touched. Touching them may cause a series of reactions, causing the entire Iron Hand Province to fall into chaos.
This situation cannot be allowed to happen without the Ji family being prepared. According to Yang Zheng's intelligence, there are three leaders of the horse thieves, named Chetu, Niu Ye and Bukai.
There are two camps, one large and one small, on Cuisong Mountain. The small camp is located right at the intersection into the mountain. It and the big camp are horns of each other and support each other.
If you want to invade the big camp, you must first capture the small village at the mountain pass to prevent the opponent from cutting off the retreat. For the first battle of the Fearless Army's entry into the Iron Hand Province, Wu Gen took out all the wealth he had accumulated recently, including the fifteen hawks that Suoji could fight, and the two ships built by the bridge team. Shuttle.
Sitting on a pure black one-horned horse, looking at the flags fluttering in front of him and the tenacious soldiers and horses, Wu Gen nodded with satisfaction.
Turning to look at Ji Yan beside her, she said softly: "Third Young Master, let's set off." Ji Yan looked at the dark soldiers and horses in front of her in a daze, and was a little distracted. It turned out that three thousand people and horses spread out with such momentum.
Hearing Wu Gen's voice, Ji Yan woke up with a start.
"Oh, it all depends on Wu Qianhu. The war is serious, so you don't need to ask me again." He turned to look at a general beside him.
"Zu Yuantong, Wu Qianhu is taking the lead in this battle. We must obey his orders in everything and make sure there are no mistakes." Zu Yuantong was Ji Yan's Qianhu with two thousand troops. Hearing this, he clasped his fists.
"Follow the orders of the young master." Wu Gen glanced at the other party, Bu Biao was amused in his heart. The two armies had been fighting for such a long time, and this time Ji Yan forced him to become the deputy general. He must have been holding back his anger.
With a wave of his hand, Zhuo Ke behind him waved a small flag, a passionate horn sounded, and the three thousand cavalry slowly started. Where the iron hoofs were clanking, dust was flying, like a rolling dragon, winding away to the west.
Horses, such heroic and powerful animals, if combined with humans, form a complete means of killing.
There is no doubt that the cavalry is the most powerful unit on the battlefield and can best demonstrate the bravery of soldiers. Even now that there are more and more practitioners, the cavalry is still strongly supported by all countries and continents.
Three thousand cavalry galloped across the wilderness, like a black torrent, drowning everything along the way. The iron-shod horse's hooves hit the ground, like a continuous muffled thunder.
Among the three thousand horses, there were thirty carriages pulled by eight horses, with huge crossbows glowing on them.
These giant crossbows were built by the bridge team according to Wu Gen's intention, and were specially used for attacking cities. Each giant crossbow was loaded with eight spiritual jades, and together with the reconfiguration of the Sky-shattering Bow for the soldiers, Wu Gen's spiritual jades were all consumed at once.
With no other choice, Ji Yan had to temporarily transfer part of her private money to meet the needs of this battle.
What we fight for is resources. Now Wu Gen is deeply impressed by this truth, and now he only thinks that the gains from counterinsurgency can make up for the consumption of this trip.
If that doesn't work, Wu Gen will be ready to take action on those small families. In the sky, holly birds kept circling over the team, scouting for movement ahead.
As for those who served as hawks and shuttles, they remained in Xingshan and were on standby. They would not be dispatched until the cavalry was approaching Cuisong Mountain.
The team traveled in a hurry and slept in the open air. After traveling for four days, they were less than seventy miles away from Cuisong Mountain. After finding a wide area near the river, the team stopped, preparing to rest here for the night and recover their strength.
In the military tent, Wu Gen and Ji Yan sat side by side on the main seat. Shui Congyue sat with her arms folded and her eyes closed to rest, avoiding Ji Yan's arrow-like eyes.
The other generals were gathered in front of the sand table in the center of the tent, discussing the terrain of the horse thief camp. Wu Gen habitually touched his waist, but did not find the wine bottle.
Only then did he remember that according to his own instructions, the army was not allowed to drink alcohol during wartime, and as a commander, he was proud to take the lead in complying with it.
Taking a sip of the milk tea in front of him, Wu Gen stood up and walked to the sand table.
Seeing Wu Gen's arrival, everyone stopped talking. Shui Congyue also came to Wu Gen, leaving his broad back to Ji Yan.
"Ahem." Wu Gen coughed twice and pointed at a map the size of a table with a long copper pole.
"The horse thieves we are going to attack this time are said to have 6,000 men, but in fact they can only fight with about 3,000 people. The others are just servants and family members. So we do not suffer in terms of strength. We have rehearsed this battle many times. The most urgent task is to capture the small village at the mountain pass and remove the obstacles to our progress. The time to attack the small village is set at Yin o'clock tomorrow night. Shui Congyuehui Suoji will lead the Yifu soldiers to attack from the air first. Xue Xin abandons his horse and leads 500 elite soldiers. Ambush in front of the small village, wait for the Yi Falcon soldiers to break open the gate of the small village, and then take the opportunity to rush in. In this battle, you need to be quick, use thunderous strikes, and capture the small village without waiting for the enemy's main stronghold to rush to help. According to detailed intelligence, the small village There are about a thousand men and horses in it, and they also raise some ferocious beasts, but the horses are not used. In addition, Baoxiang leads 300 men and horses of the fearless army and 300 men and horses of Zu Qianhu's men, and detours behind the main stronghold from the mountain path. The stronghold was broken, so we took the opportunity to rush into the main stronghold. Once inside, no matter how many people were killed, set fire everywhere to confuse the enemy's troops. Ask Zu Qianhu to lead 500 people to wander outside to prevent the horse thieves outside from returning to aid. As for I took the giant crossbow and five hundred men to guard the road from the main village to the small village to block enemy reinforcements. The remaining troops serve as a reserve team and obey the command of the third young master. But everyone understands." This battle plan has been Hu Jia and others had deduced it many times, and everyone present knew it clearly. After Wu Gen gave the order, they all raised their hands and said yes. Even Zu Yuantong also responded in a low voice at Ji Yan's signal.
