Lord of Time!

Chapter 202

The [-] cavalry were divided into the front team, the rear team, and the squadron.

The first general has a broad body, thick eyebrows, square face, and a pair of eyes that look very simple and sincere. Riding on a big yellow horse, he is like a hill or a smelly and hard stone.

No matter who saw this nearly 30-year-old young man, he would feel that he was very credible, the kind of trustworthiness that could be trusted by a wife and child.

"Shitou, are we really going to take [-] cavalry and leave all the heavy camps behind? If there is a reversal in the battle, the Cui family..."

Sima Rou also wears the same armor, and holds a double-edged long knife in her hand. She is used to using swords, and holding the long weapon in her hand at this time is also used as a swordsman.

However, compared to her daughter Han Xiaoru, Sima Rou, who was dressed as a military general, really lacked a bit of prestige and evil spirit.

It doesn't look like it's good at fighting.

Of course, she didn't come to lead the army to fight, at most, she could go to the battle to stand on top when encountering generals from both sides.

On this trip, Zhang Gu, the great disciple of his own martial arts school, also serves as the supervising army. With his "special identity", he coordinates the relationship between the generals, so that the top and bottom can work together to reinforce the front battlefield, so that there will be no unexpected situations.

"Teacher, don't worry."

Zhang Gu smiled with a row of big white teeth, making his black face even more simple and honest, "Tan Ma has already checked out the [-] miles ahead on this road, and he has been swept away by the Ninth Brother along the way, and there are little blue birds in the sky who are secretly watching , there must be no accidents on the way.

As for the food and fodder, it is not too important.The land of the three prefectures was originally a wealthy city in the southwest, and there was ample food in the Changping warehouse. When the barbarians invaded, many rich and wealthy families didn't even have time to evacuate, and the huge wealth and food were all taken away by Bei Zhou.

If this battle is not victorious, there is no need to talk about insufficient rations. If this battle is victorious, is there any need to worry about food and grass? "

Although Zhang Gu's words were flat.

However, the meaning in the words is not plain at all.

Sima Rou understood what he meant.

If the entire army is defeated in this battle, it will naturally be a loss of soldiers and generals. Under the pursuit of the Northern Zhou wolf cavalry, it is not bad if there is only one adult horse left in ten stops.

The remaining population is only a few thousand people, and there is no need to worry about food, just hunt casually, kill some horses, and run back to Xingqing Mansion.

Otherwise, just flee to another place, and you can eat wherever you want, so you don't need to worry too much.

If this battle is won, in the 28 counties of the three prefectures, there are dozens of rich and powerful families, and just a few households can make everyone feel good.

From a certain point of view, the land of the three prefectures that was destroyed is actually a natural "Longxing" place. The old order has all collapsed, including fields, shops, minerals, grain, etc., all can be harvested. Returning to the official.

Since ancient times, white paper is good for painting.

What kind of pattern to draw depends entirely on what the ruler thinks.

Even in Zhang Gu's stubborn mind, he still felt that the land of the three prefectures was better governed than those places in Xingqing Mansion and Hexi County.

The only worry is that there are too few people.

But does the world need to worry about population?
Not at all.

There were famines everywhere in the north, and the army was in chaos. In the south, bandits were everywhere, and the people were displaced.

As long as a period of time passes, hundreds of thousands of refugees will flock here.

I heard that His Royal Highness Ping Wang came out of the areas under the jurisdiction of the various prefectures in the Southwest, who can feed and clothe the people and make them live like humans. Even if they crawl, they have to crawl over.

"Indeed."

Sima Rou's face was full of relief.

She didn't know why her precious apprentice wrote a letter to ask senior brother Zhang Gu to command [-] cavalry. At this time, hearing Zhang Gu talk about the situation of the battle and seeing him issue various military orders in an orderly manner, there is a kind of smooth flow. She felt that she knew that she had been mistaken after all.

Each of these disciples is growing rapidly.

Never look at them with the old eyes of the past.

Zhang Gu, in the past eight years, from an ignorant and stupid peasant youth, to later conscientiously teaching martial arts disciples, handling some chores in an orderly manner, seems to have no idea at all.

Even if it is the talent for practicing martial arts, I haven't actually seen how good it is.

At the age of 27, he only broke through the silver body state of Hunyuan Golden Body Technique, which can be described as one step at a time. Although he walked steadily, he was not fast at all.

In the hearts of Han Wushang and Sima Rou.

This person can be trusted, he has long been regarded as the eldest disciple of his family, but he is actually a middle-aged person.

but?
There is an old saying that goes well.

"A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not often exist."

How could Zhang Gu be delayed by some vulgar eyes?

Just like her own girl Han Xiaoru, and like the big disciple Zhang Gu in front of her.

There are even those disciples who are not very conspicuous at all, who look ordinary on weekdays. It is very possible that as long as they are given a chance to practice, they will be reborn as if they were reborn, and they will no longer be mediocre in the past.

'Who would have thought that he could easily lead an army of [-] cavalry, commanding the army like his arms and fingers, and his body cultivation reached the innate level, the middle stage of the golden body.In the past, I am afraid that I would never have dreamed that this stone-like disciple, who is not surprising, turned out to be the talent of a general. '

Sima Rou, the newly promoted superintendent, sighed inwardly, feeling as if he had reacquainted with the big disciple of his own martial arts school, and felt that his three views had been subverted little by little.

Can't believe my eyes at all.

If Chen Ping was here, he would tell her.

In fact, the gap between people is sometimes very large, and sometimes it is not.

The difference is nothing more than an experience, a vision and insight, and a lifetime of ordinaryness, maybe it's just because they don't have the opportunity.

I have never met the noble person in my life.

In Chen Ping's previous life, in history, a certain prodigal son who killed the White Snake uprising relied on the help of a few good brothers he knew in his hometown, and finally conquered the country.

And those old brothers have all become generals and prime ministers, and all of them have left their names in history.

Could it be because the "White Snake Slayer" was really destined, he went out casually, and the few good friends he met were famous generals and prime ministers, what a coincidence.

The truth of the matter is simple.

Times make heroes, that's all.

Seeing Zhang Gu like this, Sima Rou had mixed feelings for a moment. She only felt that the most correct thing her husband and wife did in their life was probably that day when they accepted Chen Ping as their apprentice.

No, it was that night, on a whim, I took my daughter to Youshan to rescue.

The cause of the past, the fruit of today.

After that trip, he not only picked up a precious apprentice, but also made the Hunyuan Martial Arts School, and even Hunyuanzong, reborn from the ashes, and even climbed to an unimaginable height.

The future is even more limitless.

Some things, I really don't understand.

But, just follow along.

As a master in name, although he can't teach much, Sima Rou still has the mentality of an old mother, secretly worried about the apprentice who is far away and fought with Hu Sheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

She sighed softly: "During this journey, I seem to have heard many military advisers secretly calling Xiao Jiu His Highness Prince Ping. Easy to handle..."

This is indeed the case.

Zhang Gu also nodded, but he didn't have any worries, and said with a smile: "Teacher's wife is worrying too much, Junior Brother Ninth... Uh, His Highness King Ping actually has no other choice.

I guess he was coaxed up by the civil servants and generals around him... The common people spontaneously called him, how could there be so much spontaneousness?There are pros and cons to this matter.

As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. If he does not take the title of prince, he will block many people's road to promotion and fortune, and it will also make the people in one county and seven prefectures uncertain, and there will inevitably be some repetitions. .

As the territory grows bigger and more people are under his command, how can a Xingqing mansion master manage it? "

This is easy to understand.

If it is still in the name of the Xingqing palace lord, or the general, once Dali's imperial court came to order, wouldn't it be that the territory of each prefecture would be for nothing, and in what name would they refuse the imperial court's reward?

In what name did he follow Chen Ping to resist the Northern Zhou Dynasty?
To put it a little more selfishly.

Those who called back and forth were not for the sake of securing their wives or sons, or for future high-ranking officials and high salaries, and the merits of Conglong. Where did those people get the courage to follow Chen Ping all the way to the dark.

Is it possible that everyone really has a very high level of awareness, throwing their lives lightly, not for themselves, but for the blessings of all sentient beings?
Zhang Gu, who was often hungry when he was young and was numb from being bullied by dignitaries, knows this most clearly.

He knows that human nature can never be seen directly.

Sometimes, there is no one good person in this world.

In another scenario, the world is full of good people.

There is a very profound truth in it, and Zhang Gu still can't figure it out until now.

But he knows that someone understands, and he just follows along.

……

"Third Uncle, we really want to set up an ambush here at Hu Pao Ridge to trap King Jinghai's [-] troops. You must know that if you take this step, you will never turn back."

Cui Boyu was full of worries. In the past, his appearance was as white as a crown jade, but now he was not trimmed. Not only did his skin become slightly yellow and black, but his eye circles had an unhealthy color.

As a Grand Master of the Unity Realm, even the best Grand Master, there is no physical problem at all. With this appearance, it is conceivable how much pressure he has endured, and there are multiple tensions deep in his heart. torment.

Yes.

Cui Boyu couldn't figure it out.

The third grandfather of my family was a senior official, and he had led the army to fight against the barbarians and won a big victory. Even his own cultivation was a master of the psychic transformation level of the Grand Master of the Unity Realm. The entire Cui family was suppressed.

At the beginning, Cui Boyu thought that his third uncle's agreement to the bet was an expedient measure, and when things changed, he would counterattack. A traitor who was born as a rogue.

To this Xingqing Palace Master, he is ten times more kissed than to his own son, and it is almost painstaking.

To what extent?

All the human rights, financial rights, and military power of Cuijia Hexi County and the surrounding two prefectures and [-] counties were all entrusted to them.

Some properties of the Cui family's main family were also cut off, and the tens of thousands of clansmen no longer had preferential treatment, and they were treated like ordinary people.

In addition to the fact that the immediate family members still have a little property, which is used to support the family and support daily expenses, it can be said that today's Cui family, let alone a family of the thirteenth generation, any big family in the county should be more glamorous than their family .

Even the name "Ping Wang" that is quietly called by the people today was secretly inspired and planned by his third grandfather.

Regarding the third uncle Cui Huchen's behavior of "reversing the law and eating inside and out", there were even some powerful elders and outstanding juniors in the clan secretly plotting to oppose it, but the third uncle directly suppressed it with iron and blood methods, waved the butcher's knife tearfully, and killed him directly.

Why bother.

Didn't it mean that as an aristocratic family, you have to place multiple bets?

With the Cui family's wealth and military power, what's wrong with waiting a little longer and paying attention to the changes in the situation? Do you need to act so aggressively and bet on one person?
"Boyu, do you think our Cui family has a chance to turn back?"

Cui Huchen looked at Cui Boyu beside him, but there was some disappointment deep in his eyes.

He used to think that even after his lifespan was exhausted, with the support of the two tigers of the Cui family, he would always be able to survive.

As long as you don't make mistakes and pay attention to cultivating family talents, the Cui family will always be able to last forever and grow stronger.

These days, this is not the case. The younger generations of my family may not be weaker than others in terms of resources and talents.

However, due to years of peace, there is no crisis or competition within the family. These younger generations have only cultivated to the flesh, but not to the bone.

"It's hard for me to say something clearly, and others don't understand it, but, Boyu, I hope you can learn to think for yourself, and see the real crisis of the Cui family through appearances. The crisis is both dangerous and difficult. Chance. If you can understand it, one day, you will be able to take charge of the Cui family, and this old man will have no worries."

Cui Huchen said earnestly.

This was the first time he expressed his intention to abdicate the current head of the Cui family, Cui Lin, and let Cui Boyu be the head of the family.

But now it seems that the time is not ripe at all.

Cui Boyu still sees too shallowly.

"Third uncle!"

Cui Boyu was not only dissatisfied on the surface, but actually also dissatisfied in his heart. Although he didn't say any more ugly words, his eyes betrayed him.

"You, you."

Cui Huchen had no choice but to look at the most outstanding grandson in his family, and finally couldn't help but analyze it carefully.

"Let's not talk about the heroes of the world, let's just talk about His Royal Highness Ping Wang, I didn't hide it from you, I should know how the battle is going, what do you think of this battle?"

"Chen...His Royal Highness King Ping tried his best to save people. He rushed forward with light soldiers. He killed more than [-] Huqi in the front, but he was blocked everywhere and retreated with serious injuries. Obviously he suffered a big loss. He couldn't beat the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Hu Qi, otherwise, there will not be a letter, asking for help."

When it comes to analyzing the battle situation, Cui Boyu is naturally no weaker than others.

He pointed to the avenue at the foot of the mountain. The mountains in the distance overlapped, and there seemed to be thousands of troops hidden. He shook his head and said, "White Dragon Fish Clothes, put all your eggs in one basket. This person has been doing things all his life, and he loves taking risks. Maybe he can win ten games or a hundred games. But as long as you lose once, you have nothing. Except that the Northern Zhou Dynasty's enemy is hard to resist, there is also King Jinghai's 20 army by his side. I don't know where he has the confidence to level these two armies.

Even, he didn't even consider the back road, didn't see the suspicion of the court, and the possible rear raid of the two rebels."

Cui Boyu stretched out his right hand, circled the land with his hand, and drew a big circle from east to west, "This is a chain, if there is any problem in any aspect, there will be ten deaths in this battle, and my Cui family will have to follow." Why bother to be buried with him?"

Having said this, Cui Boyu's expression became depressed again.

He couldn't see where the chance of victory was.

Unfortunately, the members of the Cui family boarded this big boat again, and it was about to sink.

"Do you know where the merchants such as the Zhang family in Longchang, the Yuan family in Sihai, and the people in the southwestern area of ​​the Jiangdong family's Pei family have gone?"

Cui Huchen's face was indifferent, he heard his family's grandson complaining, and suddenly interrupted to ask.

"This... I have never heard of it."

Cui Boyu has been handling family affairs according to orders these days, and has paid less attention to the outside world, especially some wealthy households and businessmen in the city, who have basically never heard of any movement. In his impression, Xingqing It seems that the mansion has always been clean with sea, weirs and rivers, large-scale construction, promotion of culture and education, purge of officials, making it very hot...

"They are all dead, the family is destroyed, the property is returned to the public, and it is all given to the people."

"Think about it, think about it..."

Cui Huchen's tone was so cold that it chilled people to the bone.

"That's right, in Xingqing Prefecture, there is not a rich man, a wealthy family, all disappeared, but he didn't even hear the wind.

Even, with the size of the Pei family in Hedong, it is reasonable to say that the branch of the family in Xingqing Mansion is rich and powerful, with many experts... But he did not see a single Pei family, nor did he hear a commoner, Even mentioning the Pei family.

It's like the land of the seven prefectures in this county, there have never been these people.

"No way, third uncle, you mean..."

"That's right, it's exactly what you think, King Ping, it's not that simple. He has both the heart of a bodhisattva and the means of thunder. When he strikes, it's like spring wind turning into rain, changing everything silently. Even you and I can't hear a whiff of the wind, but One can imagine how firm his control over the land under his rule is.

Do you still think that the Dongmu Army and the Qisha Army are two rebels who can pose a threat to Xingqing Mansion?Do you think that the imperial court and Youjing Pei can regain control of Xingqing Mansion? "

Cui Huchen finally raised his white eyebrows, looked at Cui Boyu, and said again: "Think about it again, if Zhang Gu leads [-] cavalry to reinforce the battle, Sima Rou will be the supervisor... Then, my Cui family will lead [-] cavalry Cavalry, [-] infantry, ambushed at Hupao Ridge, plotting against Jing Haijun, why didn't he arrange a supervising army? Chen Ping is so trustworthy to the old man, he is not afraid of ruining his big business? Have you noticed that Xingqing Mansion is almost It can be said that the whole army is dispatched, but one of the troops is missing."

"This……"

Cui Boyu's forehead was sweating profusely, and he suddenly remembered something: "It's Han Wushang, yes, that group of strange elders and disciples of Hunyuanzong. I heard that all of them are in retreat for more than thirty years. Humans have broken through to the Innate Secret Realm, Han Wushang and Sun Yun are already congenitally perfect, and are trying to break through the Unified Realm..."

Speaking of this, he slapped his thigh, his face horrified: "Could it be that this group of people has already arrived in Hexi County?"

"What do you think?"

Cui Huchen shook his head, thinking that the grandson of his family was far behind Chen Ping.

Prime Minister Bai knows that he still presses the sword, and the heart of defense is indispensable.

That His Royal Highness King Ping not only fought extremely well, but also controlled people's hearts in a subtle way, and would not give anyone the slightest chance to make mistakes.

Therefore, since his letter was delivered to him, King Jinghai had no choice but to come and lose.

The front is still targeting the Wolf Riders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the rear has already calculated the Jinghai Navy. Going deeper, it is still accurate for the actions of the Cui family in Hexi. Dakeng has already begun to arrange the affairs of the capital of Youjing.

When the soldiers and horses move, flowers bloom all around, and one step counts as ten steps.

Is this something that a young man can do?

To be an enemy of such a person, how many heads must he have before he can chop it off?
