"The exchange is successful, do you want to summon it immediately?"
"yes!"
Ning Fan nodded without hesitation. Now that all the generals of the Three Kingdoms, except Dian Wei, had followed Huo Qubing to the north, the generals around him were somewhat stretched.
Peak generals are too expensive, and there is no urgent need.
The golden light curtain appeared in his mind, and Ning Fan's eyes were filled with light, gradually becoming deeper, and a faint golden light turned into a burly figure.
"tread!"
"tread!"
The sound of heavy footsteps sounded, and a look of anticipation appeared on Ning Fan's face. He saw the burly figure gradually solidifying, with broad arms, steady steps, and a big ax in his hand.
"General Cheng Yaojin pays homage to the lord."
"Haha, I didn't expect it to be General Cheng. It's just the right time for Fu to surrender."
Ning Fan looked at Cheng Yaojin and the Bagua Xuanhua Ax in his hand, and instantly understood that this was the novel version of Cheng Zhijie. In the original work, he was taught the Thirty-Six Axes of Tiangang by an immortal in his dream, but unfortunately he only had Learned three axes.
"Zhijie, you came at the right time. Guzheng wants to expand the territory. You join the world at this time, and the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army is found."
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Yaojin also smiled heartily, looked at Ning Fan and said: "My lord, Uncle Bao is already famous all over the world, and I am just starting out."
"Fortunately, Yuchi Laohei hasn't entered the world yet, otherwise, how would I be able to hold my head up in front of a group of old brothers!"
Ning Fan smiled and silently checked the attribute page of Cheng Yaojin in the romance version. The four-dimensional attributes were all quite satisfactory. The force value barely reached 100 points, but the special attributes were much more interesting.
[Fortunate General]: Turn misfortunes into good fortune, and adversity into good fortune. When you follow the Lord, you can turn danger into disaster and enhance the luck of your force!
Although the attribute of [Fortunate General] did not have any substantial four-dimensional enhancement, this simple sentence made Ning Fan excited.
Enhance luck!
Nowadays, obtaining [luck value] depends entirely on conquering cities and territories, achieving certain achievements, winning foreign wars, etc.
And Cheng Yaojin's attributes directly bless the luck of the force he belongs to. From an overall perspective, it is more meaningful than a peak military general!
"System, continue summoning."
"Summoning, please wait!"
…
Big Li.
Liyang City.
This strategically important place in the northern border of Da Li, after several twists and turns, fell into the hands of Da Yan again. A few months ago, Ning Fan had planned to "swap the civet cat for the prince" here. Not only did he earn Chen Ding's twenty An army of more than ten thousand will also kill Mrs. Xue...
Closer to home, after Guru went south this time, he did not go to the front line personally, but opened the way as a vanguard. He sat at the rear and had an overview of the overall situation. It can be said that he was extremely cautious in using his troops.
Lay up defenses layer by layer, plan them slowly, and encroach on them step by step.
General's Mansion.
The ancient scholar stood in the center of the hall, looking at an exquisite sand table in front of him. This had been his habit for many years. Every time he mapped a place, he would summon craftsmen, generals and local merchants to make a sand table.
"Master Hou!"
"Master Qi is visiting."
"please!"
The ancient scholar's face was solemn, and he gradually showed a smile as he looked at the oncoming silhouette.
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
"Girl Qi, why are you here in person?"
"Dayu's reinforcements have arrived at the Li River. An army of 300,000 has taken over the southern border defense."
"Dayu... finally intervened."
There was a bit of worry in the eyes of the ancient scholar, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Dayu and Dayu have already formed an alliance. Now, Dayu is in danger of subjugating the country. Dayu will never sit idly by and ignore it, which is what I expected. ."
"Master Hou, the person who will be commanded by Yu the Great this time is named Li Jing."
"We, Yanlong Guards, know very little about him. It's just that a few months ago, this person led an army to Donghuai to fight against the Japanese slaves. According to the available intelligence, he looks like a famous general!"
"Um!"
The guru nodded solemnly, looked at the sand table in front of him, and pondered for a long time, "Since the battle three months ago, Dali has re-defended the northern border. As far as I know, the Dali Dynasty is now supervised by Liu Ji. The talents and strategies of people are not inferior to those of our prime minister."
"In just three months, Dali has not only stabilized in the turmoil, but its determination in border defense also impressed me!"
"More than that, rookies such as Zhang Han and Tang He were able to gain the full trust and full support of the Dali court. We were able to retake the northern area of Li with overwhelming force because Dali's defense focus was not here."
"If you want to cross the Li River and continue south, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
The ancient scholar sighed sadly. Although the Nanyan Army under his command was now at its peak, Dayu's 300,000-strong army joined the Dali battlefield, which directly changed Dali's disadvantage of insufficient troops. Coupled with the danger of the Li River, Due to the determination of the court, the situation may be reversed.
"Gu Shuai means..."
"Switch from offense to defense."
There was a gleam of wisdom in Gu Ru's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Over the years, my Da Yan's troops have reached the banks of the Li River more than once, but they have never truly occupied the northern border."
"Several times, I would be counterattacked by Dali, or even end up miserable."
"It is enough to prove that we, Dayan, are strategically wrong. With the strength of our country, without the restraint of Hu Nu and the interference of Dayu, it is not difficult to conquer Dali in one fell swoop."
"But because of these variables, I, Da Yan, am a little unable to do what I want to do in one fell swoop. Especially after the front is stretched, logistical supplies and troop deployment are all under great pressure."
"After much thought, I can only change my strategy and plan it slowly. In three years or even five years, I will encroach step by step. After the northern Li area is completely integrated into our Da Yan, I can then plan for southern Li."
"We even deployed defenses along the north side of the Li River to prevent Da Li's counterattack."
Hearing the words of the guru, Qi Lanyue also showed a look of admiration on her face, and nodded slightly: "Master Hou is worthy of being praised by His Majesty as the 'Ding Guo Pillar'. If you act with such caution, Da Li will overturn under my Da Yan's iron hoof." Down."
The guru shook his head, looked at Qi Lanyue and said, "Girl Qi, with your intelligence, you should be able to guess the pressure behind me!"
"Master Hou refers to...the imperial court?"
"good!"
"Now our Dayan court, from His Majesty to the powerful men of the world, are all keeping a close eye on me, and they all regard Dali as their treasure. Even though I have a lot of patience, the court and Your Majesty cannot afford to wait! "
"this……"
Qi Lanyue remained silent for a while. Although Da Yan suffered several defeats in Li territory, neither His Majesty the Emperor nor the civil and military officials had ever put Da Li in their eyes.
Now, Marquis Dingguo is planning to spend three to five years to encroach on Dali, how can the imperial court agree?
"Girl, I want you to go back to the capital for me."
"Go and see the Prime Minister."
After hearing what the guru said, Qi Lanyue's eyes also shone brightly, and she said with admiration: "Master Hou, are you going to ask the Prime Minister to come forward?"
"good!"
"Now, the only one who can persuade His Majesty and control the court is the Prime Minister."
"Lanyue is willing to go."
"Um!"
The ancient scholar nodded with satisfaction, but then he heard the sound of footsteps and a voice from outside the hall: "Master Marquis, we have come from the north to report that Dayu sent troops to Dongyan City, the entire army of the guard and Rong army was annihilated, and the Marquis of Rong City died for his country!"
"What!"
The guru almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the hall. He said with a shocked look on his face: "The entire guard army was wiped out?"
"yes!"
"hiss!"
The guru took a long breath and didn't speak for a long time.
Qi Lanyue on the side also looked horrified and said in surprise: "How could the entire army be wiped out? Two hundred thousand guards guarding Dongyan City, even if Dayu sent out five hundred thousand troops, it would take less than ten days and a half. It is also impossible to knock on the gate of Dongyan City."
"Besides, even if Yu's army comes in force, the Marquis of Rongcheng will still have enough time to ask the court for help."
"How could the entire army be wiped out suddenly?"
The ancient scholar sighed sadly: "Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
"Call the generals to discuss matters."
"As you command!"
"Girl, I need information about Dayu. The more detailed the better."
"Um!"
Qi Lanyue nodded heavily: "I haven't received any news from the North yet. If there is any information, I will send it to the Marquis as soon as possible."
"good!"
Not long after, figures gathered in the lobby one after another. The generals under Gu Ru also received the news, and there was an uproar in the lobby.
"See you Lord Marquis!"
"No gift!"
The ancient scholar looked solemn, the sand table in the hall had been carried out, and the generals and staff of the Nanyan Army were lined up on both sides, all with solemn expressions.
"Everyone, I believe you all already know about the changes in the northern border and the fall of Dongyan City."
"The entire Guard army was wiped out."
"Even the Marquis of Rongcheng..."
The ancient scholar looked at the generals with some disappointment and said in a deep voice: "The fall of Dongyan City means that our food and grass supply may be cut off at any time, and our backs may be raided by Dayu's cavalry at any time."
"Instruct me to immediately deploy defenses in the north of the Li River to guard against counterattacks from the Li River."
"Deploy 100,000 troops to go north immediately to protect our army's food and grass supply line and set up defenses in the rear of our army."
"promise!"
"Chen Qian, you lead an army of 200,000 and advance toward Dongyan City."
"promise!"
After the generals left, the ancient scholar had a bit of confusion in his eyes and murmured: "Dayu!"
"Is it a moth that flies into a flame, or a dragon that flies out to sea?"
"Has the world really changed?"
…
Time flew by and it was three days.
The spies came to report that Yan's army had arrived in the east, and it was only one day away from Dongyan City.
In the main hall.
Ning Fan sat at the top, and Bai Qi sat beside him.
"Everyone, the Yan army has already attacked. This is a head-on confrontation between Dayu and Dayan. In this battle, we must win but not lose!"
"Everyone in the world says that Dayan's army is unstoppable, but I, the son of Dayu, are no weaker than others."
"come!"
Ning Fan shouted softly outside the hall, and saw two burly figures walking into the hall together. Qin Qiong looked stunned, looked at the burly man, and said in a voiceless voice: "Know your integrity!"
