Horse on the World

Chapter 501 Prey and Hunter (1)

The wind is still so fierce, tightening and loosening, and the snowflakes all over the sky are sometimes fluttering, and sometimes a group of demons dance wildly. Once it falls on the ground, no matter how unrestrained it is in the air, whether it is three petals, five petals or more. All of them flowed into the balls of snow-white, obscuring everyone.Become a member of Cangshan Heluo covering the earth.

This is a small village that is not well-known. The two warring parties have used this place as a battlefield many times, and they have fought back and forth, turning the dozen or so houses in this small village into broken walls. The scorched black wall is mottled, and occasionally a smear of purple black can be seen, as if someone had a large brush brushed from top to bottom, drawing a heavy exclamation mark.

The heavy snow buried almost all the scars of the war, but on the edge of a broken wall, in the thick snow, there was a black hand stretched out from the snow, with five fingers stretched out, reaching towards the sky, as if to come out of the snow. Grab something in the air.A group of patrolling soldiers passed by, seeing this tenacious arm, the leading officer frowned, and strode forward, the knife flashed, the arm fell to the ground, but there was no trace of blood flowing out, only the pale flesh and blood And the bones made people feel palpitations, the officer cursed a few times in a low voice, and his boots kicked up the snow to cover his arm, so the ground was clean and white.

In the center of the village, there is a small courtyard standing miraculously. Except for the dilapidated wall, only a vague outline can be seen, the small house in the middle is intact, which is amazing. In a corner of the yard, close to the house, a wintersweet branch spread out, and the blossoming pink plum blossoms were holding their own fragrant pistils. There were almost no trees in the village, and they were all chopped down. The thicker ones were used to make some simple ordnance. The thinner ones have naturally become fuel for heating. The war has continued until now, even the roots of the tree have been dug away, but this plum blossom has survived. It is a miracle, maybe her pink flowers are responsible for this dead land White adds a touch of vitality, so that even the fellers with axes and knives can't bear to do it!

Outside the hut, two groups of soldiers stood facing each other, one group was blue and the other group was gray. The faces of the two groups of soldiers were very strange. The famous school captain also looked embarrassed, holding his waist knife, not squinting, only sneaking a glance at each other occasionally, and once their eyes collided, they moved away like lightning.

These two groups of soldiers belonged to the Northern Army and the Liaozhou Army. The blue one belonged to the Liaozhou Army, and the gray one belonged to the Northern Army. The two armies that were supposed to fight to the death were now separated by less than one meter. Perhaps at their feet, In the thick snow lay their former comrades-in-arms, maybe in the other party's queue, there was the existence of killing their relatives and friends, but now, they can only stare at each other like this, with a knife in their hands , but the knife could not be pulled out.

Because they are just ordinary soldiers, they are not the ones who decide whether to fight or not, they are just the sharp knives in the hands of those noble people who are staying in the room at this time. Stay obediently in the scabbard, they don't need to have ideas.

Not only is the atmosphere outside the room weird, but the atmosphere inside that house is equally unusual.

The house was cleaned very clean, the tables, chairs and benches were polished very brightly, and thick cushions were spread on them. In several braziers, the high-quality white charcoal was emitting a faint blue light, making the room as warm as spring. The three sides of the Eight Immortals table sat The one in the middle was smiling, looking with interest at the two armored generals on the left and right.

He is Yuan Fang, the planner and executor of the Shenzhou hunting plan this time.On the left and right of him, sat the leaders of the two armies who were fighting desperately a month ago and vowed not to be at odds, Zeng Yifan of Liaozhou and Lu Fengchun of Weizhou.

Zeng Yifan felt very uncomfortable. It was the man opposite him who, with his [-] tigers and wolves, swept across the two prefectures of Shun and Shenyang, almost destroying the Zeng family, and tens of thousands of people were displaced by his invasion. , the economy in Zeng's territory suffered a fatal blow. If it wasn't for him, Li Qing of Dingzhou would have no excuse to intervene in Eastern affairs, thus causing Zeng's dilemma of being rejected by wolves at the front door and tigers coming at the back door.

But now, at the last moment when he was about to completely kill his opponent, he had to face him and negotiate with him to deal with the tiger from the back door. This made Zeng Yifan very annoyed, the wolf provoked the tiger, and finally But he needs to wipe his ass by himself. It is his own person who died, and his own lifeline was injured. This tone is really hard to swallow.

Although he felt dissatisfied, Zeng Yifan was not only a general, but also a mature politician. He knew what to do at the right time. Even if they were allowed to return to Weizhou, they would probably have to go through a hard battle before they could be snatched back from the Dingzhou army, and whether they would be able to snatch them back was another matter.

Of course, if the hunting plan is successful and Li Qing dies, Lu Fengchun still has a big plan to take back Weizhou. Zeng Yifan is also happy to see this kind of result. An insurance was added in between. If the Dingzhou forces that have recovered from their strength in the future want to take revenge, they must first defeat Lu Fengchun. At that time, facing the mighty Dingzhou, Lu Fengchun has other things besides asking for help from himself. That road is easy to go, don't look at Yuan Fang's good words now, at that time, I'm afraid the Luoyang side he is wearing will ignore Lu Fengchun, and only himself, standing on the same boat with Lu Fengchun, even if this The boat was already leaking, and he could only support it with his own strength, so let him try his best to survive in Weizhou.I am afraid that this is the last result Yuan Fang wants to see.

Even if Dingzhou does not have Li Qing, it will only lose a powerful commander, but the Dingzhou forces have formed their own complete operating mechanism. After Li Qing is dead, they can support Li Qing's son as the leader. Under the banner of this little master, another powerful attack was launched. Li Qing had already laid down regulations for Dingzhou, and as long as the civil and military ministers of Dingzhou followed these regulations, they would be able to unite again for one goal. .

Zeng Yifan didn't think that Qingcheng was capable of controlling Dingzhou, and Yuan Fang set up this game just to take Li Qing's life. As for whether Qingcheng could succeed in Dingzhou, whether it was life or death, I'm afraid it was not in Yuan Fang's consideration at all. Inside.After Li Qing dies, Qingcheng in Dingzhou will not escape the fate of extinction. The angry Dingzhou army will inevitably return to Dingzhou and smash Qingcheng and her hidden forces in Dingzhou into pieces. Wang Qinian, Bingzhou Lu Dalin, the three main divisions have a total of [-] troops, and Dingzhou's powerful navy, only Qingcheng naively thought that without Li Qing, she could successfully control the land as the mistress of Dingzhou. Dingzhou.

The core of Yuan Fang's strategy is to let Qingcheng cause civil strife in Dingzhou, which will cause uneasiness in Li Qing's troops deployed everywhere. After passing the mountain wind, Lu Dalin is not an idle person, and they will never let Qingcheng ascend to the top of Dingzhou. On the stage, if Qingcheng came to the stage, their interests would definitely be damaged. They just eliminated Qingcheng and supported a young master, so what other methods would the youngster who came to power have to rely on these powerful generals.

Lu Fengchun is not a fool, of course he can think of what Zeng Yifan can think of, but he who is on the verge of extinction is like a drowning man catching a straw, even if he knows that the straw is not enough to support his weight, he will hold on tight Grasp it firmly, as long as you get through this crisis, you will have a chance to make a comeback, and you will have the possibility to once again become famous. Even if it is for this reason that the Lu family will be stunned for decades because of this battle, it is worth it .So he had no choice, when Yuan Fang came to visit, the two hit it off.

Yuan Fang was laughing in his heart, the hunting plan was 90.00% successful, as long as Li Qing was killed in the end, then the hunting plan would come to a perfect conclusion.This plan was formulated by Tianqi himself, he helped to perfect it, and implemented it himself. To be honest, he was shocked when he heard Tianqi's hunting plan for the first time. One time, Emperor Tianqi even tricked his own sister into it. He took advantage of Qingcheng's deep affection and strong sense of responsibility for the family and the royal family, and firmly trapped Qingcheng, just like marrying Qingcheng to Li Qing back then. no choice.Moreover, it is also difficult for Qingcheng to see the core of this plan.

What Tianqi wants is not for Qingcheng to control Dingzhou, and it is impossible for Qingcheng to control Dingzhou. What he wants is Li Qing's life and the civil strife in Dingzhou. Dingzhou without Li Qing must go through a brutal cleansing and integration. It is difficult for Dingzhou to pose a threat to the Central Plains in a short period of time, and the first object of revenge after the integration of Dingzhou will not be Luoyang, but Lu Fengchun and Zeng. The battle between the Zeng family and the Zeng family.

It is conceivable that the joint efforts of the two places will not be the opponents of the Dingzhou faction that is going all out. You must know that this time, Li Qing only dispatched a main combat division to beat Weizhou to the point of no defense. If several major divisions gather together, at that time, what other options do these two places have besides bowing their heads like Tian Qi?

Emperor Apocalypse needs time, he uses the north and the east to hold Dingzhou, as long as he takes down King Ning in the south, the Lu family and the Zeng family must have been beaten by Dingzhou helplessly. The time is ripe for the North Land. The once great clans Lu and Zeng have been beaten to pieces by Dingzhou. After returning to Luoyang, even if they are unwilling, they can only live in peace and comfort.

Ruthless is the emperor's family!

Yuan Fang lamented in his heart, even if the two brothers and sisters Qingcheng and Tianqi have always had a deep relationship, Qingcheng can be said to have given up everything for Tianqi, but once faced with huge interests, the safety of the royal family, and the abolition of Great Chu, Tianqi will not hesitate. Hesitantly gave up on his sister, Yuan Fang knew that no matter whether the hunting plan was successful or not, it was impossible for Qingcheng to have a good end.

Looking at the two people on the left and right, Yuan Fangfang seemed to be looking at two delicious roast chickens, waiting for himself to take a bite. He knocked on the table lightly, and said with a smile: "Both of you, when we meet, let's smile and let go of our grievances. I think it's time we got down to business!"
