Chapter 355 Famous Generals
Tianyuan Shuangtou Ridge is high in mountains and dense forests and steep in the terrain. It used to be a habitat that bandits loved very much. However, at the request of Fei Zhenyi, the Imperial Guards of the Eagle Dynasty retreated more than a hundred miles from the border and set up camp near Shuangtou Ridge. Several small bandits on the mountain were already frightened by Fei Xiaobai's recent bloody methods. After seeing so many Imperial Guards stationed here, they had to give up their home overnight and sneak away elsewhere.
Luo Cheng and Zhou Chengsi sat by a stream, waiting quietly. For a moment, Zheng Bao jumped out of the forest, hurriedly ran to Luo Cheng and Zhou Chengsi, and said anxiously: "Master, I found it!"
"Take us here." Luo Chengdao.
Zhou Chengsi winked, and the seven or eight warriors standing by the stream immediately dispersed, formed a line, and touched in the direction Zheng Bao pointed.
"More than 20 years ago, Fidaqing, Ran Yixiong, Wen Dao, and Ming Wanqi were very good friends. They were called the Gang of Four in the imperial capital of the First Empire." Zhou Chengsi whispered as he walked: "They often gathered together, talked loudly and guided the country. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, people would change things and retreat, and those who died, only Fidaqing was left in the Gang of Four." Zhou Chengsi sighed, as if he was sighing at the energy contained in time.
"Human hearts are always changing." Luo Cheng said lightly.
"In fact, among the four-person gang, I was the most optimistic about Ming Wanqi. In terms of wisdom, he surpassed Wen Dao. In terms of courage, he surpassed Fidaqing and Ran Yixiong. He was supposed to be a bad general in the First Empire, but because of a bad fate, they turned against each other and became enemies." Zhou Chengsi shook his head: "Wen Dao's corruption is big or small, and it has nothing to do with him. It was his subordinates who acted recklessly. As a result, Feidaqing grabbed the matter and even put Wen Dao in prison. In the end, Ming Wanqi resigned angrily. Wen Dao suffered a great humiliation and became depressed. He died of serious illness three years later. After all,... it was Feidaqing's mind that was too narrow-minded."
"Are you pleading for that name Wanqi?" Luo Cheng smiled.
"I don't dare." Zhou Chengsi said: "But... three years ago, the Eagle Dynasty launched a massive invasion of the First Empire, and Ming Wanqi had no trace at all. Obviously, he had decided to get rid of this mortal world. Now, just because of Wen Yan's letter, he would come out... This is somewhat unlikely..."
"If you look at it from the perspective of conspiracy, you will find some interesting places." Luo Cheng smiled.
"Conspiracy?" Zhou Chengsi was stunned: "I hope the master will give me some advice."
"When I was in Tianji Camp, I was idle and talked to Wenxiu and the others about the details of the decisive battle. I also made some deductions on paper. Haha... Xu Shan helped me a lot. There are some things you only look at one side. You can't find any clues at all. You can only see the information from both sides." Luo Chengdao, in fact, his deductions were completed by the intelligent brain: "From the imperial capital to Huifeng City, there were 460 miles. The army walked eleven days, in name, to gather reinforcements from all over the world, but in my opinion, some people deliberately wanted to see the jokes of Feidaqing. The Fei family's generations were small, especially the Feidaqing generation, with only one son and one daughter. Fei Haotian was trapped in the accompanying capital Shuoyuan. If he was killed, then the position of the first citizen could only be given up."
Zhou Chengsi frowned and thought carefully.
"Zhen Yi led his army into Zhulangyuan, and it was 330 miles from Huifeng City to Zhulangyuan. The army arrived in just two days and joined the battle in time."
"That's because the Fei camp leader has launched an attack. The reinforcements from the imperial capital must cooperate with the Fei camp leader to completely wipe out the elite army of the Eagle Dynasty." Zhou Chengsi said.
"Maybe there are other reasons." Luo Cheng said lightly: "Fe Zhenyi broke into twenty-two camps in a row. After releasing the siege of the capital, the morale of the army was greatly improved and reached a peak. But the situation of the Eagle Dynasty was exactly the opposite, and the rear was cut off by Fei Zhenyi. There were reinforcements mobilized by the First Empire from all sides in front of him, and they went deep into the hinterland of the First Empire. Xu Shan told me that many soldiers at that time had lost their fighting spirit and their morale was unstable, otherwise they would not have been defeated so badly. Therefore, some smart people saw that Fei Zhenyi would win. In order not to let Fei Zhenyi achieve full results, the reinforcements of the imperial capital increased their speed to the battlefield."
Zhou Chengsi stayed for a long time, Luo Cheng's speculation was too strange and the argument was insufficient: "Master, do you say that those people deliberately delay the speed of reinforcements just to see Fidaqing's jokes? Isn't this treating state affairs as a joke?! Also, they are not afraid of playing with fire and putting the entire empire into a state of overturning?!"
"Do you know what Xu Shan said?" Luo Cheng smiled: "After the decisive battle, Xu Shan learned from his mistakes and finally understood that they had already lost when they decided to jump over Shuohe natural danger and attacked Du Shuoyuan."
"Why?"
"They fought so smoothly, galloped thousands of miles, destroyed cities and villages all the way, and had no opponents. Many generals believed that the First Empire was just a paper tiger that was strong outside and fought at the middle, including Leng Tianrang and Xu Shan, who all made the mistake of underestimating the enemy." Luo Cheng said: "Crossing the Shuo River is equivalent to falling into a desperate situation. In fact, after the decisive battle, spies from the Eagle Dynasty discovered that there were many large warships in the upper reaches of the Shuo River. In other words, without Fei Zhenyi, they would be defeated, but they would be defeated by another person."
"And, the reason why Leng Tianrang and Xu Shan decided to launch an offensive suddenly was because they received a top-secret news." Luo Chengxu said: "Fedaqing transferred 50,000 elite soldiers from the border army, and also drew 70,000 to 80,000 defenders from various cities south of Shuohe to suppress the rebellion in the extreme north. At that time, they thought this was an excellent opportunity. Now...hehe, it's just a trap."
"There is also Fidaqing, the number one master of the empire, when he was completely defeated on the front line, he vomited blood and fainted when he heard the news. He could no longer control military and political affairs. His health was so poor?" Luo Cheng said: "For example, there is a kind of insect called Gou Xuanzhu in the deep mountains, which has a strange fragrance and a strange poison. Xu Shan said that collecting a pound of insect powder and throwing it into a well can poison people in a village. It doesn't take a pound, only one liang, put it in a water tank, and then drop half of the drop in one person's meal every day. A half drop is fine. The silver needle cannot be detected, and the people who taste it will not get sick. But what if they eat poisonous food for several consecutive years?"
"The master thinks... all this is controlled by Ming Wanqi behind the scenes?" With Zhou Chengsi's experience, he couldn't help but breathe: "But Ming Wanqi has always been upright and strong, and it is impossible for him to do such a sinister act."
"I don't know if it's him." Luo Cheng smiled and said, "But I know two things. First, Wen Yan has an army, but he lacks a commander with enough status, prestige and ability. The name Wanqi is just right. Second... I need to eliminate the roots when I cut the grass!"
After hearing these two reasons, Zhou Chengsi was speechless. After a long time, he sighed: "The master is so good to the Master of Fei... I hope she will not let down the master's painstaking efforts!"
While speaking, the dense forest around him suddenly became wide open. A very elegant courtyard appeared in front of him. There was a clear stream in front of the door, a quiet courtyard behind the room, and a few vegetable fields were opened around him. There was a small pavilion on the south side of the yard. Luo Cheng sneered. His current strength was definitely the best in the world. But throwing him alone into the wilderness, at most, he built a cottage with branches and soil to make a living. It was impossible to live so well. It had nothing to do with courage and wisdom. This required construction craftsmanship and many people to help him.
Zhou Chengsi's eyes emitted his brilliance and reached out to slash quickly in the air. Then someone in the yard said loudly: "You can set up such a magnificent array map in the blink of an eye. There are only three or five people in this world. I wonder which master came to the humble house?"
Zhou Chengsi smiled and waved his sleeves lightly. The wind in the courtyard opened. Then Zhou Chengsi let him go aside, and Luo Chengdang walked into the courtyard first.
The yard is large, with woodshed on the east side and stables on the west side, and there is a snow-white horse in the stables. While eating grass leisurely, there is an entrance to the underground side of the stables, which seems to be a cellar.
There was a bamboo chair in the middle of the yard. A man in his forties and a burly figure stood at the door of the room, his eyes were bright and he looked directly at Luo Cheng and others.
Luo Cheng walked to the bamboo chair and sat down naturally. Then he glanced around. Since there was only one chair, he had to sit there. It was useless to be humble. Zhou Chengsi was a very traditional and stubborn old man. He would not do anything beyond his limits.
The one who followed into the yard was Zheng Bao and the warriors from Yinmen. They completely regarded the big man as air and searched everywhere.
A stranger broke into his home and searched for it. As the master, he should be very angry, but the man was very calm and kept watching Luo Cheng and Zhou Chengsi quietly.
Zheng Bao was very active, running around in front of and behind the house. With his strength, he was not qualified to participate in such a high-standard operation, but Luo Cheng asked him to come, which was a rare trust, so he must make some achievements.
After a moment, Wang Anhe walked out of the room with a stack of letters in his hand, and walked by the man who was nowhere to beside him. He had witnessed Luo Cheng's battle with the parasitic monster with his own eyes, and believed in Luo Cheng's strength. Even if he was not on guard, the man would not be able to hurt people in the master's sight.
Luo Cheng took the letter and opened it one by one. At this time, Zheng Bao was holding a jar of wine and carrying two roast chickens out of the cellar. He first put the wine jar on the ground, gently stroked the red cloth on the jar with his fingertips, and shook the red cloth a few times in the wind. Finally, he took a bite on a roast chicken and chewed it thoughtfully.
"Master, this roast chicken is a specialty of Yanling Guanpu Restaurant. The meat is quite delicious and it is placed in the cellar... It should be less than two days after it is released. The wine is from Tianyuanhe Town. There is very little dust on the wine jar, and it will not be moved here for more than five days." Zheng Bao said: "There are six jars of wine in the cellar. Each jar of wine weighs about twenty kilograms, and there are no ruts around. If you want to deliver the six jars of wine here, you need at least three people and three horses. But you can only find one person's clothes, shoes and socks in the room. There are definitely no one living in it. The owner here should have contact with the bandits near Shuangtouling, or... he can drive the bandits to do some trivial things for him."
The big man was still motionless, and his eyelids only twitched when Zheng Bao called Luo Luo a master.
"The wine from Tianyuanhe Town? Is it my home?" Wang Anhe walked over curiously, sniffed a little by the wine jar, turned around and said to Luo Cheng: "Master, it's my home. This is sake, it tastes sweet and the wine tastes very light. Most women like to drink it."
"Save? It seems that the famous general is ready to entertain distinguished guests." Luo Cheng said lightly as he looked through the letter: "However, the famous general's distinguished guests will never come."
