"I've met the Governor." Ning Yuxi was as calm as ever and bent down to give Wu Gen a salute.
Looking at this woman who had always been unfazed by favors and humiliations, Wu Gen was still slightly embarrassed in his heart, "Please take a seat, why is Mrs. Meng here?"
"I came here to deliver food to the army." Ning Yuxi said calmly, sitting half-length on the chair.
"Hurry and serve tea to Madam." Wu Gen ordered to Ji Chenming beside him. Wouldn't it be a good thing if someone sent food over? No matter who sent it, "I don't know, but it was ordered by Commander Meng."
"It was my husband's wish, but I sent some extra without permission." Zi Yuxi nodded slightly and took a sip of tea.
"Meng Zhuo is on the right side of things, and they don't hate each other. I just don't know whether Madam will blame Madam for sending more food and grass secretly." Wu Gen looked directly at Ning Yuxi who was sitting in his seat with a sneer on his face.
Meng Zhuoding heard that the Fearless Army had reached Zhenni County and was afraid that Wu Gen would pursue him for murdering Meng Ling, so he thought of sending some food and grass to silence Wu Gen. As for him, he would never dare to come here, so he asked his wife to deliver food on his behalf. After all, Ning Yuxi and the Fearless Army had cooperated harmoniously.
"I'm not going back, so I came here to join the governor." Ning Yuxi looked a little tired, stood up and saluted Wu Gen.
For a moment, the room became quiet. Yang Zheng, Hu Jia and others all looked stunned. Baoxiang looked at Wu Gen warily. Even Shui Congyue's expression moved slightly, looking at Ning thoughtfully. Yuxi.
"Ah, defect to me? Madam, what do you mean by this?" Wu Gen didn't expect that the other party would make such harsh words, so he subconsciously retracted his body and folded his arms in front of his chest. The last incident in the bedchamber finally subsided. If this person stayed, Niu Chao wouldn't know what to say.
"The so-called husband and wife are originally like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they will fly apart. The husband is greedy for wealth and honor, and this is the way to die. Now that his death has appeared, I am just a pawn for him to cling to the powerful. I can be discarded at any time. Why should others accompany him to death?" Ning Yuxi's eyes were hazy, as if through a layer of misty clouds, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes.
"This..." Suddenly encountering such a thing, Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
"Master of the Village, I would like to invite my wife to join the Fearless Army. Meng Zhuo is really a deceitful person. My wife has sent more food and grass here on this adventure. I will be blamed by him after she returns. Moreover, Meng Zhuo has been betting on both ends over and over like this. Death is not far away, and we cannot let my wife suffer this fate again.
It just so happens that there are few people on my white water table, so I might as well put it here. Before Wu Gen could say anything, Yang Zheng couldn't wait to jump out and even arranged Ning Yuxi's whereabouts.
Wu Gen was stunned. For Yang Zheng to be so urgent, it showed that he valued Ning Yuxi quite a lot. I didn't have any thoughts about Ning Yuxi, I just felt that it was inappropriate to put him in the army. After all, Meng Shuo and Meng Shun were still in the camp. After thinking for a while, Wu Gen finally nodded, "Okay, let my wife stay in the camp, and please wait for her to be properly settled."
Yang Zheng straightened his clothes a little, turned around and walked to Ning Yuxi, saying politely, "Madam, please move outside the house. There are some rude men here. Madam is Yanshu, a wise and kind-hearted woman. This is a lot of inconvenience.”
Ning Yuxi saluted Wu Gen again, then turned around and followed Yang Zheng out of the house.
Wu Gen rubbed his eyes and looked at Hu Jia and others in disbelief. These people also looked confused.
This Yang Zhengsu has always been evil-minded and ruthless, but today he seems to be a different person. He must be trying to get some tricks on Ning Yuxi, and there's no telling who he's going to target. What a beast to be able to attack such a beautiful and intelligent woman.
Wu Gen saw empathy in everyone's eyes and cursed in a low voice.
"Now that we have food and grass, our army should march west as soon as possible to prevent the opponent's troops from gathering more and more." Wu Gen coughed and drew everyone's attention back, "This battle must be fought to defeat the enemy. We cannot reach a stalemate, otherwise our army will lose. Renjing, you have thought of a way to deal with Ji Chen's notice." ap.
Cang Renjing's eyes were sunken, and it was obvious that he had not slept well these days. He took out a rolled piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Gen, "I just have a rough idea. I'd like to ask the leader of the village to take a look."
Wu Gen stretched out his hand to take it and couldn't help scratching it.
He had always been a little repelled by these twists and turns, so he turned his hand and gave Shui Congyue, "Congyue, take a look."
Shui Congyue unfolded the paper and looked at it carefully for a long time, stretched out his hand, asked someone to get the pen and ink, and began to make changes on it.
After a while, Shui Congyue finished editing, but did not return it to Wu Gen. He raised his hand and handed it to Cang Renjing, "You can write more on this notice, but don't reveal it for now. When you encounter an enemy in person, let Ji Xin come forward. If we let the Rebel Army scatter the notices on the enemy lines, there is no chance that there will be any miraculous effect."
Cang Renjing took it and hurriedly browsed it up and down. When he looked at Shui Congyue again, his face was full of admiration, "The captain is so good at writing and has strategies and theories. I really admire Renjing."
Wu Gen stretched his neck to see what Shui Congyue wrote, but Cang Renjing had already hurried away as if he had found a treasure.
In the early morning, the fearless army walked along the Xiaohe River, which was winding like a silver belt. Along the way, white and light reed flowers swayed in the wind, and cold white frost could be seen on the river bank. From time to time, one or two frightened water birds flew up from the reeds and landed on the other side of the river.
Wu Gen sat in the car and rubbed his nose. It must have gotten colder today.
"Niu Chao, Chen Ming, get some mutton and let's set up a hot pot in the car." Wu Gen shouted to Niu Chao, who had been huddled in a corner of the car.
Niu Chao muttered dissatisfiedly, turned over and prepared to fall asleep again. Ji Chenming slowly climbed up and accidentally stepped on Niu Chao's face. The latter was so frightened that he jumped up suddenly, but his head accidentally hit the roof of the car.
"Gu Jiayi, I'm going to fight you. Ever since you came here, I haven't had a smooth day." Niu Chao fiercely rushed towards Ji Chenming. Wu Gen, who was extremely upset, kicked the two people who were struggling together out of the car.
After looking at the two people outside the car who were still shouting and cursing, Wu Gen couldn't help but miss Gao Jing. Compared with Niu Chao and Ji Chenming, Gao Jing can be said to be a white lotus. As long as he is here, he will take care of the little things like daily life properly, so there is no need to ask for them by yourself and get others to look down at you.
It's just that after secretly rescuing Ji Xin, Wu Gen intentionally or unintentionally arranged for him to be further away. After all, Ji Xin is his enemy who killed his father and his mother. If there is a fight, he can't be too suppressed.
During this expedition, Wu Gen simply left him in Liangzhe Mountain to avoid any further trouble on the road.
In the midst of the commotion, a hawk fell in the distance, and Suoji hurried over, "Fortress leader, enemy troops have been spotted a hundred miles ahead."
Wu Gen was shocked and immediately sat up, "How many people are there."
"You can't see clearly. The enemy is building a stronghold. Judging from the size of the stronghold, there are hundreds of thousands of people." Suoji said hurriedly with a solemn look on his face: "From the flags, it can be seen that the main force is the Southern Army, with members of various families. Soldiers surrounded the north and south. Because the big camp was too big, two smaller camps were set up on the other side of the river."
"You can see who the commander of the Southern Army is." After hearing this, Wu Gen's face darkened. There are hundreds of thousands of people. This is huge bad news for the Fearless Army. How can they survive this?
"From the looks of it, they should be Ji Jing's subordinates. There are also five other clan banners."
"Ji Jing." Wu Gen shrank back, touched his chin, thought for a moment, and quickly ordered: "Send the order, all armies immediately gather their troops, protect the civilians and food and grass among them, and slowly move toward Press forward."
Suo Ji agreed and quickly jumped on the hawk to issue Wu Gen's military orders to the troops. Due to the march along the way, the formations of each army were very long, and it was difficult to quickly convey the general's orders to each army by relying on horse power alone.
After a while, the entire fearless army was on the move, and all the armies quickly formed a battle formation, with Shui Congyue as the forward, Bao Xiang and Xue Xin on the left and right, Wu Gen and Zhang Wuyang in the middle, and slowly headed west.
After traveling for less than half a day, many scouts appeared in front, inquiring about the movements of the Fearless Army from a distance.
"Captain, do you want to set up camp to prevent the enemy from attacking?" Hu Jia asked Wu Gen, who had abandoned his carriage and replaced his horse with a war horse.
"No, let's go ten miles further. Instruct all the armies to be on guard. The Yi Falcon Army will drive away those annoying scouts." Wu Gen waved his hand. Not only did he not stop, but he slightly urged the horse under him. Son.
"Yes." Hu Jia quickly agreed.
After a while
, the Rebel Army, which had been resting dozens of miles away, appeared one after another and ran towards the scouts on the ground.
"What is that?" Wu Gen suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He had good eyesight and found dozens of black dots flying towards him in the distance.
"It turned out to be a hunting bird." Wu Gen couldn't help being surprised. These birds were quite rare in Iron Shou Province. He didn't expect that the other party could still find so many. "Send a message to Suoji immediately. Ignore the scouts for now and concentrate on destroying these guard birds."
Hu Jia didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly sent someone to send a message to Suoji in the air. Soon, the shuttles and birds that had been chasing the scouts quickly gathered together.
A shuttle was surrounded by about a dozen hawks as auxiliaries, and they were so fierce that they pressed towards the opposite side.
Soon, the birds and shuttles from both sides collided. In the sky, long arrows drew bright lines, and they roared one after another.
Bird feathers fell like snow, and from time to time, the corpses of birds and people fell from the sky in a circle, turning into a shapeless pile of flesh and blood under the impact of the hard ground.
The scale of the aerial battle was not large, but it allowed those present to inadvertently witness the beginning of a new war.
This is the first large-scale killing in the air in the history of Kuntianzhou. After this experience, I believe that in the future battlefields, the first ones to launch the charge will no longer be those proud soldiers and hummers, but the warbirds and flying birds that flap their wings and attack the air. shuttle.
The Rebel Army has been in existence for some time, and they are far superior to each other in terms of their control of the birds and their cooperation with each other. In addition, the shuttle can carry far more people than the guard bird, and the shuttle is equipped with far more crossbows and snake eagles than its opponents.
Soon, the opponent's hawks were washed to pieces, and two hawks were killed by the Rebel Army. This made Suoji, who always valued birds as much as his own life, endure it. The Rebel Army in the air was divided into several small teams and chased after these fleeing opponents.
The fighting was going on in the air, but the march on the ground did not stop at all. The fearless soldiers raised their heads and cheered from time to time. The bravery of our own falcon army made these people feel proud.
After a while, the fierce aerial fighting was over. Most of the opponent's birds were killed, and more than twenty others surrendered on the spot and were escorted back.
Wu Gen nodded with satisfaction. The Volunteer Army was still small now. If there were thousands of birds and shuttles, he would be confident to capture any city or province in Kuntian Continent.
The team moved forward for another ten miles, and a line of black could be faintly seen in the distance, which was the camp set up by the Confederate Army and various families. All armies immediately dismounted and set up camp according to their respective organizational structures.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Gen sat on the shuttle and circled far in the air. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned. Sure enough, as Suoji said, the other party had gathered hundreds of thousands of people this time.
On the south bank of the Xiao River, in addition to the Southern Army, there are also people from various families. They have set up large and small camps around the Southern Army. Now they are trying to connect these camps. Obviously, it will not take long for the other party to arrive here. .
Because there were too many people and horses, two more small camps were set up on the north bank of Xiaohe River, with the banner of the Wen family on them.
After landing, someone hurriedly reported that the coach on the opposite side asked Wu Gen to meet in front of the formation, and they were not allowed to bring their own troops.
Wu Gen thought for a while, took Shui Congyue and a few others, and ran towards the military formation on the opposite side.
Just after running a few miles, a dozen people came running towards me. "You're fine, Governor Wu." Ji Jing, the leader, said loudly, followed by several people from the family, including Ji Zhen.
