Chapter 37: The city is white, and the heart is also white
People can act because they wear clothes.
But how long the performance lasts is not determined by the clothes. So what the soldier should look like cannot be changed in two months.
Tantai Ziyi found that all the soldiers under the city were in good spirits. Even after the fortifications were built, they would not be twisted around, but would stand straight.
Half a month ago, those guys were not like this. They were almost as straight as a flagpole, not to mention crooked.
Tantai Ziyi discovered the problem and received a battle report from Jiangxia County.
Twenty thousand men in black armor were twenty miles away from Jiangcheng, and Nangong Yu's fifteen thousand cavalry were defeated in one blow.
That's the Tuoba family's black armor, not a bunch of untrained and ill-equipped bastards.
Even if Nangong Yu's cavalry was a veteran of hundreds of battles, he would not be able to defeat the black armor so easily. To do this, the number of mounted cavalry in King Fu's hands would have to be doubled.
This battle made the world know that Heijia was not invincible. But in Tantai Ziyi's opinion, I'm afraid the reason lies in the 20,000 soldiers under the city.
Staring at the soldiers in the distance, Tantai Ziyi came up with a bold guess. The 20,000 black armors in Jiangxia County were betrayed by someone, and the person who betrayed them was Ye Fangshan who was under the city...
Tantai Ziyi just guessed, but Deng Nanyang, who had conquered Jingling County and Xiangyang County, was sure.
Xiangyang City, the Sheriff's Mansion. Another person has taken the final say, but this one is different from the previous ones. He is an old man who is unsmiling.
In the Sheriff's Mansion, there are two people standing in front of the Daqian topographic map. One of them is tall, with a cold face and a white beard. The other is a scholar with a feather fan and a silk scarf.
"Commander, Silla has been defeated. Nangong's 40,000-strong army is rushing towards Xuanhu City..."
The old general looked at the terrain map and nodded: "Nangong's 40,000 cavalry guards are extraordinary. But I am more concerned about the Qiu Dong who lost to the Silla Sword Princess, and the man who cut off the Silla Sword Princess' arm with a sword from the west."
Le Heshan knew a little about the people in the world, but he didn't think that one person could change anything when facing thousands of troops. So he couldn't help but frown at this moment.
"Why should the commander care so much about two people from the Jianghu world?"
Deng Nanyang turned his head, looked at Lehe Mountain, and suddenly patted his shoulder. He did not mention Jianghu people, but Daqian soldiers.
The tens of thousands of elites in Daxing City can only defend the city. Chen Jian and the Queen can't take care of them, but they will never let them leave the city. King Qi still has 50,000 die-hard supporters in his hands. He has a lot of troops, and he dares to fight if he dares.
, but he was caught between Dongdu and Daxing, so he didn't dare to do anything.
Let's talk about Nangong Shou's 40,000 cavalry. It's hard to say how useful they will be in Xuanhu City. Just by looking at Ye Fangshan fooling us with shrimp soldiers and crab generals, we can know that the black-armored elites of his Tuoba family are outside Xuanhu City.
What do you think the defenses that have been built for two months are for? Are they just for attacking the city? They are waiting for the cavalry to attack.
As he spoke, the old general pointed to the topographic map of Daqian...
Although Changshoumen, Guangling, and Kuaiji are not in our hands, they don't have much ability. Most of the other counties have turned to us. They are now gathering their forces and will join our army as soon as the battle in Xuanhu City is over.
, the army came and great prosperity came.
As for those counties with small thoughts, we can take care of them later. So there are not many things for us to worry about when it comes to military operations.
Le Heshan understood that there was no need to worry about the military, then Jianghu became the one who needed to worry. However, how capable Jianghu people can be, and whether they can control the world.
Deng Nanyang saw the doubts in Le Heshan's heart, so he turned around and said, "Heshan should know that that autumn and winter are the holy bones of Silla."
Seeing Le Heshan nodded, Deng Nanyang said: "Silla Sword Princess is defeated, and the support of the Xi family has fallen. The Holy Bones will take back Silla, and the Jin family will dominate Silla again."
Le Heshan said to himself: "Qiu Dong is the eldest maid of the Li Taiping family, so Silla will fall to King Fu. King Fu will have one more bargaining chip, but the sword comes from the west..."
"Jian Xilai is originally from King Fu, and King Fu doesn't have much, right? Otherwise, the sword that cut off the Silla Sword Princess's arm means that he has reached the sky and reached the clouds, and the King Fu family has a real backer of its own."
Le Heshan said: "Is one person really that important?"
"Isn't it important?"
With that said, Deng Nanyang pointed at Tianxia City. "Why is Chen Cong in Tianxia City?"
"Afraid of assassination."
Deng Nanyang shook his head and said: "Yes or no. If Chen Cong is in the Shu army, there is no need to assassinate him when Jian Xi comes, but he can kill Chen Cong in front of you and me. You and I can only watch."
"But if there is a master like Jian Xilai in our Shu army, what do you think the situation will be like?"
Le Heshan suddenly understood. "I dare not kill him even if I can, unless Jian Xi comes to kill me."
After saying this, Le Heshan suddenly frowned and said, "Commander, you are not afraid that someone will come to kill you."
Leheshan, who had never seen the commander smile before, finally saw the commander smile.
"Kill me, there are still rivers and mountains. Kill rivers and mountains, and there are thousands of Shu troops. No matter if it's one person or two people, can he kill all the Shu troops? They won't do something that is thankless.
of."
Le Heshan is now completely convinced by the old general. In the past, he just thought that Deng Nanyang was just relying on the shadow of his ancestors...
Deng Nanyang seemed to be able to read Le Heshan's thoughts. He turned around and pointed at Nanyang County and said: "I named Nanyang because the Deng family originated from Nanyang. Our ancestors followed the emperor to conquer the world, and were later demoted to Shu for hundreds of years.
, I, Mr. Deng, miss home all the time..."
"The descendants of the Deng family have studied military books and battle formations diligently, and controlled the general trend of the world, just for the day when they can return to their hometown with honor. No one can stop me, Deng Nanyang, and no one can."
Only then did Leheshan understand why the Shu army was determined to follow Tianxiacheng, because the old man wanted to achieve the feat of supporting the dragon and take the Deng family back to Nanyang.
Deng Nanyang didn't know that the road back to Nanyang was blocked not only by Gan people, but also by foreigners. No, the guard of Yanmen Pass saw a cavalry unit appearing on the mountain road with no end in sight.
The foreign cavalry rang the bell to warn, and was about to use the beacon as the signal. But they saw a woman in red, holding a little fat man in her arms, riding her horse to the city gate...
Outside the border, on the grassland, only one woman dared to wear red. That was the most beautiful lake, Kanas.
The guard still remembered that the division letter said that it wouldn't be long before he could see the Pearl of the Grassland. Today he saw it, and he also saw the cavalry as far as the eye could see.
"Mingzhu wants to go home, please let the general go."
The red lady, holding the son of General Nangong as the Pearl Princess, and the mistress of the Nangong family appeared, the guard did not dare not open this door.
The door opened with fear, but fortunately, the guard counted the cavalry one by one and found that there were less than 20,000, and he felt relieved.
What can 20,000 cavalry do? It can protect the safety of mother and child. Besides, the vitality of the alien race is severely damaged. If they want to start a national war again, I am afraid that they will not have the strength for decades or even hundreds of years.
After leaving Jinyang, the 20,000 cavalry split up. Two thousand cavalry escorted the mistress of the Nangong family and the young master to Jinan County, while the remaining cavalry, led by the Red Lady, went straight to Dongdu... …
No one can fully control the major events in the world. The emperor cannot do it, and neither can the saints. Because the world is alive and everything has spirit...
But there are some things that those with great ability can still do. For example, in Tianbao Jiuru Temple, Taishu Wujiang knows a lot of things. After all, hundreds of thousands of believers are not just bragging. Even in a place like Tianxia City, some people want to live longer. several years.
"You said Dalang ran away to Tianxia City."
Mu Pinshan looked very unhappy. It was a more dangerous place than Longtan and Tiger's Den.
Taishu Wujiang nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. My people saw Da Lang falling into the city on flying swords there. Now the city is still full of flying swords."
Mu Pinshan turned to look at Dugu Qingqing, saw him nodding, and then said: "The two senior brothers will be handed over to the sect master."
Taishu Wujiang hurriedly said: "Two fairies, don't worry, as long as my Taishu Wujiang is still breathing, the two senior brothers will definitely be indispensable."
Before the two girls left, Taishu Wujiang hesitated and took out two small porcelain bottles from his arms, and said with great pain: "One inside one can save your life, you two..."
Uncle Wujiang also wanted to say, that thing is very valuable, so don't eat it casually, it will be useless if you eat it. Before he could say this, a demonic wind blew in the palace, and the two women disappeared.
Tianxia City is very high, so high that you can reach the sky with your hand. It is covered with snow all year round and is covered in silver, making it as white and flawless as a fairyland.
The city is white, and so are the hearts of the people. There is no intrigue between people, no life-and-death struggle. There are no policemen here, no officials to judge cases, and no one comes to collect rent. The folk customs are simple, no one picks up things on the road, and no house is closed at night.
This is the biggest feeling that Li Taiping has had in half a month. He has been here before, and the old Taoist priest said that this is an ideal world. Only now does he truly understand the true meaning of this sentence.
It's ridiculous. A city full of evil people is the kindest place in the world. It's like a paradise in the world as mentioned by Mr. Wuliu.
"Why?"
"Man's original nature is good..."
Li Taiping asked, and Shiyou responded slightly. However, Li Taiping was very dissatisfied with this answer.
Seeing Li Taiping shaking his head and saying nothing, Shiyou smiled and said, "Because they are evil people and have seen the evil in this world."
Li Taiping still shook his head.
Shiyou smiled and said, "They are tired."
"They must have done all their evil deeds and had no place in the world to live in, so they came here."
Shiyou shook his head slightly and said: "Everyone is shouting that there are too many evil people to beat. If we go by what Dalang said, this city should be overcrowded."
As he spoke, he pointed at the old man pushing the cart who was coming towards him with a pockmarked face.
"The left-hand knife is full of stars. The most famous thief in Liaodong at that time, he killed many people all his life and showed no humanity..."
Li Taiping looked up and saw an old man with a stooped back, pushing a wheelbarrow with one arm, shouting as he walked.
"Tanghulu, candied haws..."
The old man suddenly stopped beside Shi Youwei and took out two candied haws...
