Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 419: Scout news, unbelievable
December 1332th, [-] in the New Yu Calendar

At the junction of Jiuhua Road and Dongyuan Road, Wanyan Jun and twenty of his subordinates stood at the critical monument. He stood alone at the front, looking deeply in the direction of Jiuhua Road. The 20 people behind him were silent.

Suddenly, a strong wind came rushing from the south.

What came was a young man dressed in plain clothes. His skin was a little rough. At first glance, he looked like a typical person from the three states in the North. His fists were covered with calluses. When he saw Wan Yanjun, he immediately knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, the two hundred Red Flame Army of the Hou family are leading the charge. They have just entered the territory of Jiuhua Road. They are still marching non-stop. The target is Dongyuan Road. According to the information from the rear, the 100 million coalition troops of the three families and The Red Flame Army is five hundred miles apart, so even if the front army doesn't move, it will take at least four days for the rear coalition forces to catch up."

After hearing the news from the spies, it was strange that Wanyan Jun and the other twenty people did not show any signs of surprise. They just looked down at the spies kneeling on the ground, with a trace of scrutiny in their eyes.

The spy didn't know why, and his face was suddenly full of doubts.

"Which town are you from? Who is the governor of your town?"

Hearing Wanyan Jun's sudden question, the spy immediately reacted, with a hint of nervousness on his face, and hurriedly bowed and replied: "The scout camp forest bones of the nine towns under my command are all under Yanbei."

After speaking, he turned his attention to the 20 people behind Wan Yanjun, and soon found Yu Yanbei in the crowd, and quickly cast a look at him for help.

"Your Majesty, Lin Gu is a veteran under my command, there is no problem!"

Wanyan Jun's face showed a look of relief, and he waved to Lin Gu. After seeing him retreat, he turned his head again, showed a smile to the generals, and said: "Twenty scouts, there is only one There is a problem, and the news from the others is the same. It seems that Hou Yuxiao is determined to come to Dongyuan Dao!"

The twenty generals all nodded immediately, looking a little excited.

Speaking of which, examining the identity of the scouts is actually a helpless move.

The Hou family has 200 million Red Flame troops, plus 100 million coalition troops. There is no need for any scouts. Wanyanjun doesn’t even need to get close, he can just look at it from a distance. The reason why scouts are used is because ten days ago , when Wanyanjun went there in person, he was in trouble...

Hou Yuxiao obviously did not want to expose the whereabouts of the army. As soon as Wanyan Jun approached the three coalition forces ten days ago, Hou Yuxiao joined forces with Chu Kuangping and Lu Kangping to deal with him. If he was not far away from the coalition forces and his blood was not suppressed, he almost would have died. Can't come back.

Wan Yanjun was so frightened that he immediately realized that Hou Yuxiao did not want him to know the movements of the coalition forces, so he sent out scout Qiao Zhuang to inquire about the whereabouts of the coalition forces.

Although there is a war at the moment, there are many warriors in Jiuhua Dao. These scouts are no more than Grandmaster level warriors. As long as they do not attack the army directly and snoop around to find out the whereabouts of the coalition forces, no matter how smart Hou Yuxiao is, he will not be able to take over all the warriors in Jiuhua Dao. Warriors, have you found them all and killed them?

Eleven million people were marching at the same time. As long as they were not blind, anyone with a bit of cultivation would know about the counties, prefectures, prefectures and even roads along the way. It was almost impossible for the Hou family to hide it.

The difference is Hou's 200 million Red Flame Army.

Although the target of 200 million Red Flame Army is also very large, it is much smaller than the more than 1000 million coalition forces, and the march speed is faster. If we don't send scouts to keep an eye on it, problems will inevitably occur.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Although Wanyan Jun despised the Hou family's army, he still did not lose the vigilance that a commander should have.

As for screening spies, it was because Hou Yuxiao was also nicknamed the Jade Man with a Thousand Faces. It was rumored that his disguise skills were unpredictable, and it would be bad if he fell into the trap. Moreover, they had also screened out a man who was tricked by Hou before. The scout who instigated rebellion.

That was the third scout who came back. The news he sent back was that the Hou family’s army had not yet left Dongyuan Road. Unlike the previous two, Wanyan Jun could not confirm who was true at first, but as the latter came back There were more and more scouts, and once they checked, they knew that there was something wrong with the third scout who came back.

After some torture, the man also admitted that he was instigated to rebel, and received a large sum of money from Hou. It was because of this that Wan Yanjun was alerted, and he had to be serious about every scout who came back later. Review it.

Hou Yuxiao can disguise himself, but after all, he has never been to Dajin and is not familiar with the twenty town commanders under his command. Even if he can disguise himself and look like a scout, at least he will not recognize his superior.

The first batch of twenty scouts who went out have all returned, and the news they brought back has been confirmed. Then, the next step is their response.

Wanyanjun turned around and asked the people behind him:
"How long will it take for our army to get here?"

"Your Majesty, it only takes half a day."

Wanyan Jun pondered for a moment. After the battle outside Shunchang Mansion City ended ten days ago, he immediately brought his army over. The ten-day march to the border of Jiuhua Road was not too slow.

"This king's military order is passed down. After arriving here, the army will not stop and continue marching south!"

When the generals heard Wanyan Jun's military order, their expressions suddenly froze.

Their mission is to help Emperor Yuliang block the coalition forces in the west. The place where they are now is the junction of Jiuhua and Dongyuan. They can set up an ambush here or build fortifications and then stationed here for defense. is the best.

Taking the initiative to march south, what is going on?
"If my subordinate is right, the king wants to take the initiative, but Jiuhua Dao has already defected to the alliance. If the disciples of Shenjian Villa find out that we are marching to Jiuhua Dao, they will definitely notify the coalition forces to prepare in advance, and even It’s because they are ambushing us. Just relying on our 200 million troops to advance south rashly, I’m afraid..."

"Who said we can only rely on our army of 200 million!"

Wan Yanjun sneered, looked at the people behind him and said: "Although this king doesn't take the three coalition forces seriously, it is related to the great cause of the pilgrimage. How can you be careless? Don't worry, I have already notified the four princes of Gyeonggi Province and asked them to transfer The army is coming, the 200 million troops of the four princes, plus our 200 million, it will be easy to deal with the 200 million Red Flame Army of the Hou family."

After hearing Wan Yanjun's words, everyone's expressions suddenly brightened up. Even the one who had just persuaded Wan Yan Jun looked relaxed.

The 400 million Holy Army can easily deal with all the coalition forces of the three families. What's more, they entered Jiuhua Road in advance and were only the first to deal with the 200 million Red Flame Army of the Hou family.

"The two million Red Flame Army should be used by Hou Yuxiao to set up an ambush for the rear army because he was afraid that we would set up an ambush halfway. The two armies are four days' journey apart. If we can really catch up and destroy the Red Flame Army first, what's left? The 200-strong coalition army under me, under the iron hoof of our Jin Dynasty, is in ruins and vulnerable to a single blow."

Wanyan Jun's confident mood immediately led the generals to agree with him. This was also the case. With 400 million holy troops sitting in charge, even if a saint came, it was unlikely that the three coalition forces would win.

Even if the alliance really sends a saint, the Jin Dynasty will not sit idly by and ignore it.

The twenty commanders all turned around to where the army was. Wanyan Jun recalled that he had been besieged by Hou Yuxiao, Chu Kuangren, and Lu Kangping, and a chill suddenly flashed in his pupils.

He was only a martial arts sub-sage. Faced with the three people joining forces, and also worried about being suppressed by the Red Flame Army's energy and blood, he did suffer. It was precisely because of this that he realized that he could only rely on his own army of 200 million. Unable to deal with the coalition forces of the three families, the four princes of Gyeonggi Province were notified.

The Jin Dynasty occupied the three roads of Gyeonggi, Lincang and Shuofeng. Emperor Liang of Yu notified Youzhou before he went on the expedition. The Jin Emperor sent ten princes each with an army of 50 to guard the three roads. There were six marquises in Gyeonggi and Lincang. There are two marquises and Shuofeng each in charge, and the four marquises bringing in an army of 200 million people will not have much impact on the three roads, but it will be fatal to the three coalition forces led by Hou Yuxiao.

"Think of Dong Yuan Dao and dream!"

Wanyan Jun snorted coldly. He did not follow the twenty commanders to where the army was, but continued to stay at the junction.

Although he was full of confidence, he still had to be cautious when it came to the Jin Dynasty. He didn't dare to approach Hou Yuxiao's army. At least he had to keep a close eye on this junction so that he could know the situation in time if Hou Yuxiao caused other troubles.

Besides, he sent out a total of three batches of scouts, and the ones that just came back were only the first batch. The scouts would report the next movements of Hou's Red Flame Army at any time, so he had to wait here.

.........

Behind the junction, there is a military camp with about a thousand people.

This is Wanyanjun's Guards Camp. As one of the Seven Kings of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyanjun's Guards Camp is not simple. Although there are only more than a thousand people, each one is a master of the third level or above of the Grandmaster Realm, and even the fourth level. There are many heaven-level great masters.

He went to the border in advance to survey the situation, and the Guards Battalion came with him. At the same time, for the needs of the battlefield, he also brought over all the elite scouts from the ten towns.

Lin Gu is one of them.

As soon as he came back, he was surrounded by a group of scouts.

"Lin Gu, have you been questioned too?"

Seeing the fear on the faces of the scouts, Lin Gu nodded first, and then asked puzzledly, "Why is your majesty interrogating me?"

"It's not that boy Yu Ning. He was bribed by the three coalition forces and came back with false news. The king and everyone found out about it. Those of us who came back later were all interrogated."

Hearing this, Lin Gu's expression changed immediately, and he asked in shock, "Yu Ning was bought? He was also arrested, so how will the king deal with him?"

"How else to deal with it!"

The person who answered gestured to his neck with his hand as an answer.

A hint of fear suddenly appeared on Lin Gu's face, and he said thankfully: "Fortunately, I'm fine. When the king was questioning the commanders just now, I was almost scared to death. If I had said the wrong thing, I would probably have died."

Seeing his timid look, everyone burst into laughter.

Lin Gu didn't take it seriously. He looked around the military camp and said casually: "The army should not be far from here. I saw that the twenty commanders seemed to have flown north. They should be going to the military camp?"

"I just heard from the brothers in the Guards Battalion that they will be there in half a day."

"That's almost it. Once the 200 million troops arrive, the king will probably march directly to Jiuhua Road and attack the three coalition forces directly."

"Go directly to Jiuhua Road, right?"

"Hey, of the three coalition forces, only the Hou family's 200 million is enough. They march in tandem. As long as they can deal with the 200 million elites, the more than 1000 million troops behind them are not enough at all."

…………

Lin Gu was silent when he heard everyone's discussion, but when he lowered his head, rays of light would flash in his pupils from time to time.

Everyone chatted for a few more words and then went back to their tents to rest. The Guards Battalion arrived here first with the king, and they had to wait for the 200 million troops to arrive. If they had no mission during this period, they basically had to stay in the military camp. side.

In the dead of night, in the scout tent, Lin Gu suddenly opened his eyes.

He climbed up from the bed quietly and looked back at the people who were still sleeping in the tent. A cold light flashed in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, his expression gradually calmed down. He shook his head and left directly. Got out.

From getting up to leaving, no one in the entire Guards camp, not to mention the military tent, even the night watchers, noticed him.

In the Guards Camp, those with the lowest cultivation level are all Grandmasters, and those with the highest level are even Yin-Yang Realm warriors, but no one found him.

…………

It was late at night on the fifth day of January in the year 1333 of the New Yu Calendar
In Lincang Daocheng, Wanyan Lie raised his wine glass with his brows furrowed.

As Ziquanhou, one of the 28 princes of the Jin Dynasty, Wan Yanliang's status was neither high nor low, but people were like this. The higher they went, the more dissatisfied they felt.

The Jin Dynasty is now fighting on three fronts. The three emperors, six kings and 28 princes in the court are almost in full force. They all have tasks, but tasks also have priorities. With the three emperors and six kings, he does not need to compare. His targets are mainly based on his own status. 27 similar marquises.

The main combat tasks were shared between the three emperors and the six kings. Among the remaining 28 princes, only the stronger and higher-ranked princes could fight.

But he was sent to guard Lincang Road.

Originally, the three roads were guarded by Emperor Yuliang himself. Emperor Yuliang took over the important task of the Eastern Expedition and asked Emperor Jin to send ten princes to guard the three roads. He happened to be among them. At first, he thought he would It's an opportunity. After all, as long as the situation of the war changes, someone like him who is close to the battlefield will be mobilized immediately.

Well, the situation has really changed. Jiuhua, Wangchuan, and Linjiang have defected to the alliance, and the combined forces of the Hou, Jiangbei, and Lu clans have a total of 300 million. Emperor Liang of Yu.

Wanyan Lie, who was keen, immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and he immediately sent someone over to take the initiative to ask for a fight. Unfortunately, his movements were still slower than others.

The Emperor of Yuliang sent King Pingcheng to take charge of the coalition forces of the three families. King Pingcheng Wanyan Jun was from his own family. In order to avoid suspicion, he transferred four lords from Gyeonggi Province to go there, so he missed the battlefield again.

The three coalition forces claimed to be worth 300 million, and only the Hou family's 200 million Red Flame Army could see it. In Wanyan Lie's view, this was just military merit on his lips, which made him even more irritable.

There are six marquises in charge of Gyeonggi Road, and there are two marquises in Lincang and Shuofeng respectively. He is the one who is in charge of Lincang Road. There is another one like him who is in charge of Lincang Road, Qingyanghou and Tuoba Tao.

Thinking of this, Wanyanlie sighed slightly.

From the moment he learned that he was going to guard Lincang Road with Tuoba Tao, he knew the reason. Emperor Yuliang had some objections to him and Tuoba Tao, or in other words, the Jin Dynasty had objections to them. .

The reason is the Battle of Hedong ten years ago.

That year, he and Tuoba Tao went to Xuzhou Hedong with Prince Houjing of Wuwei. As a result, Prince Houjing of Wuwei defected. Although the two of them were clean, they still had some responsibilities. Even if the Emperor of Jin did not say anything, the people below would inevitably have opinions. .

The two of them were inevitably marginalized.

That's why now, he was sent to guard the unimportant Lincang Road.

Wanyan Lie felt distressed in his heart. He raised the wine jar in his hand and took a big sip. The Emperor of Yuliang, Wanyan Cheng, who was in charge of the Eastern Expedition this time, felt that even his ancestors treated him like this. Somewhat emotional.

"Report..."

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from outside the hall. Wanyanlie's expression froze, and then he suddenly woke up with a sudden jolt.

This is the scout voice of his subordinate Hubenwei. The other party is obviously more than ten miles away from the main hall. There is only one possibility to shout at such a distance, and that is that there are tens of thousands of urgent military reports. Would be so eager.

With a certain look on his face, he appeared next to the scout in a flash.

"what's the situation?"

"Hou Yucheng, the second son of the Hou family, led a 200 million Red Flame Army to raid our territory last night. In one day, he attacked two counties, nine counties and eleven cities. He is currently attacking Junyang Mansion in the south of Lincang Road and is stationed at Junyang Mansion. The Qingyang Hou Tuobatao is in danger, please send the army to support him!"

"How is this possible!"

After hearing the scout's news, Wanyan Lie suddenly shouted angrily, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
