Autumn dusk always seems shorter than summer, and before the last ray of sunlight disappears behind the clouds, the earth will be gray.

The sky was still very gloomy around noon, but now two or three hours have passed, and the sky in the evening is full of sunshine.

Seeing that it was already Youshi, Zhu Yin, who lived on top of the building, thought that today would pass without any disturbance. What he didn't expect was that at this time, he dared to get the news that a fine cavalry was attacking quickly.

The tower boat under his feet is high enough to be used as a watchtower. He has not stepped down from the tower boat so far, just in case there is a war, and he is here to issue orders. The advantage of height allows his semaphore to be easily seen by the generals and schools, and military orders can be implemented quickly and effectively.

Now that the Xuanwu Army has removed the sailors and cavalry, the main force of the remaining 40,000 cavalry has been assembled on the shore. Even if the baggage has not been unloaded, the speed is extremely fast.

Being able to achieve this effect, it can be seen that Zhu Yin's scheduling and arrangements are extremely reasonable, and the soldiers' movements are agile, showing a well-trained elite style.

For Zhu Yin and his army, this is the proper military quality.

It is this excellent quality that allows him to stay calm even when facing the attack of Spikes.

Not being flustered doesn't mean that Zhu Yin doesn't feel strange.

Looking at the direction of Yuanju County under the golden glow of the setting sun, Zhu Yin lowered his eyes. There was a flat land beside the Baigou River, and he could vaguely see the city wall of Yuanju County more than ten miles away when he looked across the battle formation of the army that was several miles away, like a sea of iron armor.

The city is as small as a chessboard.

On the east side of the chessboard, the billowing smoke and dust broke through the curtain of sunlight, spreading across the land like a dragon and snake going out to sea, and the galloping torrent of black iron armor was like the claws of a dragon.

The military order to face Zhu Yin has been issued.

He is now staring at the black torrent on the horizon without moving, watching the opponent's formation change into a rushing formation while galloping. The black torrent soon turned into a black tide, and it came quickly amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, which was much more breathtaking than the sound of the Qiantang River tide.

The earth trembled because of this, and even the river water in front of the Baigou bank had ripples in circles, spreading into the river non-stop.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the city wall of Yuanju County has disappeared, it is hidden in the huge waves of smoke and dust rising behind the black tide.

Zhu Yin looked up at the sky again with repeated confirmation eyes.

It's time.

This means that it is less than an hour before it gets dark.

He has forty thousand soldiers ready for battle.

This is the real elite of 40,000 fighting in the bloody battlefield.

How many soldiers would it take to defeat such an army

As long as Shangguan Qingcheng is not crazy to the limit, he will not only dispatch eight thousand wolf teeth and fine riders.

In other words, there will be a battle of tens of thousands of people next.

In such a battle, even if all the soldiers are fighting bravely and fighting to the death, how long will it take to decide the winner

No matter how confident Zhu Yin was, he didn't think that an hour would be too late.

Far from it.

And after the night falls completely, the two armies will inevitably cease fighting - the conditions for night battles are harsh, and it is not easy to fight in this era. However, the current situation obviously does not meet the conditions required for night combat.

Small-scale night battles with hundreds or thousands of people are fine, large-scale night battles with more than 10,000 people are rare.

Since the night battle cannot be launched rashly, and there is no time to tell the winner, why did Shangguan Qingcheng start this battle brazenly

What is she thinking

Zhu Yin had no way of knowing.

The deputy general beside him sneered: "Everyone says that Shangguan Qingcheng is a rare and good general in this world, but now it seems that it is just a waste of fame. It is less than an hour before dark, but she is wearing a wolf tooth They all took the initiative to attack. This is to give us a head-on blow while our foothold is not stable? But under the command of the general, we are already ready to deal with the attack! We have 40,000 soldiers, how can Shangguan Qingcheng win against us?"

Zhu Yin didn't speak.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, which made his eyes become serious and dignified in an instant.

He said slowly: "Just now I was wondering why Shangguan Qingcheng launched an attack at this time. After you said that, I suddenly thought of a possibility."

The lieutenant smiled easily: "What else is possible? Does she really think that she can win us within an hour?"

Zhu Yin didn't speak, but the movement of pressing the knife became tight unconsciously.

At first the lieutenant had a look of sarcasm about Shangguan Qingcheng, but after waiting for a long time to see Zhu Yin's reaction, he felt strange in his heart. After noticing the awe-inspiring attitude of the other party, he was stunned, "General...couldn't you think that Shangguan Qingcheng really planned it this way? Isn't that whimsical!"

Zhu Yin let out a long breath and said almost word for word: "Do you still remember the Battle of Bozhou?"

Without waiting for the lieutenant to answer, Zhu Yin turned his head and said in a word: "Three thousand Spikes, and ten thousand Wei Bo cavalry head-on, with only one charge, the opponent fled in embarrassment!"

Seeing Zhu Yin's gloomy eyes, the lieutenant couldn't help taking a step back with a shocked expression.

Zhu Yin withdrew his gaze and looked at the battlefield again.

At this time, a black cloud flew from the sky, it was the Yaozu monks.

So Zhu Yin ordered the Taoist soldiers to fly into the air to meet them.

The deputy general calmed down, and said to Zhu Yin: "Shangguan Qingcheng wants to reproduce the battle of Bozhou, but how can Cao Xijin compare with the general? According to the general, Shangguan Qingcheng will not be so stupid. Today's battle, she is the best At most, it is to test the combat power of our army..."

Zhu Yin raised his hand and interrupted the lieutenant general.

He said in a deep voice: "Others are stupid to do this, but Shangguan Qingcheng is not."

The lieutenant was speechless.

On the occasion of the battle, is it really appropriate to grow other people's ambitions so much

Zhu Yin would not be ignorant of this truth. Unless, he already had some bad premonition in his heart.

There were bursts of thunder in the air.

That is, the monster monks and Taoist soldiers have already handed over.

Zhu Yin suddenly jumped up from the deck, flew over the side of the ship and went straight to the battle formation.

He left a sentence: "You come to command the war!"

The lieutenant looked shocked.

Let him command the battle, of course Zhu Yin himself will lead the battle formation himself.

He wants to block Shangguan Qingcheng.

Block the military general who brought eight thousand elite cavalry and planned to defeat the vanguard of the Xuanwu Army in an hour!

...

When Zhu Yin came to the front of the formation, the Spike Army was less than a mile away from them.

The ground under his feet was shaking wildly, and the sand and sand shook violently until it left the ground.

Zhu Yin drew out the horizontal knife, exhaled and said, "Mountain!"

His cavalry had already gone to deal with Caozhou's soldiers and horses. At this moment, in his battle formation, except for a small number of cavalry guarding the two wings, there was no cavalry to go up to confront the Spike Army.

It was precisely because of realizing this that Zhu Yin decided that Shangguan Qingcheng really had the heart to defeat him.

As a vanguard general, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the contest between the two had already begun before they met each other. And in that obscure contest, Zhu Yin had already lost first.

But Zhu Yin was not discouraged, because at this moment he had made up his mind to strictly guard against death. Defense can be done without cavalry. So as soon as he came up, he brazenly launched the unique ability of the military general - the mountain.

He even gave up his plan to order the soldiers to shoot the opponent's cavalry with bows and arrows, because that would only hinder him from exerting the power of "Mountain" to the extreme.

As Zhu Yin activated the power of "Mountain", a layer of white mask like a bowl turned upside down immediately rose in the battle formation behind him. The color of this mask is bright and thick, like a wall of iron and steel.

Zhu Yin's eyes are like swords.

see.

He saw the front of the Spike Army's front line, the general in silver armor and white robe, holding Zhang Ba Po Yun Shuo in his hand, and a magnificent white horse on his waist and hips.

She has a beautiful and stern face, her eyes are as hard as iron, and she has a spirit of breaking mountains and breaking rivers.

Zhu Yin knew that it was Shangguan Qingcheng.

The world-renowned military general Shangguan Qingcheng!

Then he noticed that the other party made a strange movement.

She stretched out her finger and put it in front of her mouth to bite, then wiped it between her lips.

The originally bright red lips were even more coquettish at this moment.

Zhu Yin couldn't understand the meaning of this action for a moment.

He didn't have time to think about it.

Running to the front of the Spike Army battle formation, the light of the soldiers' battle formation suddenly rose, and the faint light gathered eight thousand soldiers into a whole. And the light of the battle array, which was as thick as iron, formed a huge front arrow, and there were hidden waves of tidal energy hidden in it.

It is conceivable that when the two battles come into contact, how those waves of fighting spirit will impact Zhu Yin's iron wall.

The power of a general in military strategist - tidal wave!

Zhu Yin's expression was terrified, and he gritted his teeth vigorously.

Before the two armies joined forces, he already felt overwhelming pressure.

...

on the hill.

Zhao Bingkun couldn't help applauding: "What two military generals, they really deserve their names! The power of this 'mountain' is so heavy that it can be said to be truly as stable as Mount Tai; 'Mountain' is the enemy of fate!"

In his line of sight, the eight thousand wolf teeth are no longer eight thousand soldiers, but a huge and ferocious spirit beast running on the ground, a complete whole. Its posture of sweeping away the dust has the potential to swallow up mountains and rivers, making people have no doubt that it can break through mountains and smooth out cities!

And in the battle formation of Zhu Yin in front of the Spike Capital, the condensed and simple mask is as strong as a barrier, with a heavy aura that does not move under the hurricane and does not fall under the impact of the waves.

As he said that, Zhao Bingkun turned his head and said solemnly to the disciples: "It's good to observe, good to understand! I'm also a general of the military family. I should know whether your power of 'tide' and 'mountain' is so strong!"

All the disciples looked ashamed. Only Zhao Nianci sneered, looking at the battlefield ahead with disapproval: "It's flattering to say that Shangguan has a false reputation. Now it seems that she doesn't know how to fight at all! It will be dark in another hour. What will she use to win Zhu Yin?" ? Attacking rashly, the result is nothing more than trapping the army in a dangerous situation. What qualifications does this kind of person have to lead the army! One of the soldiers is stupid, and everyone will be stupid. She... "

Zhao Nianci's voice stopped abruptly.

Her movement was so sudden that she didn't have time to close her open mouth.

She was in no mood to pay attention to these.

Because she was too shocked.

...

On the battlefield, the giant front arrow hit the iron wall.

boom!

The first roar.

The domains of the two military generals collided directly, and a deafening explosion sounded instantly at the intersection of the battle formations. The bursting and scattered spiritual energy rose into the sky like fireworks and fell like a river of stars.

Zhu Yin's face turned pale.

Shangguan Qingcheng's expression did not change. Her face was so pale that even if it had changed, it would not be noticeable.

boom!

The second roar.

The cavalry formation of the Wolf Fang Army collided with the infantry formation of the Xuanwu Army, and countless large shields were immediately broken and turned into pieces flying across the sky. Before the countless spears could hit the horses, they were broken by the spiritual energy of the monks in the fine cavalry, bending like Broken chopsticks.

Zhu Yin's chest felt tight, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood, staining his teeth and lips red.

Shangguan Qingcheng stretched out his hand to wipe his lips, but his red lips did not show any change. It has already been stained with blood, I don't know if there is blood overflowing at this moment.

She didn't wear a visor, because when a military general is in the battle formation, his sharp eyes and face as firm as iron can be a great deterrent to the enemy soldiers.

boom!

The third roar.

The Spike Army rushed into the infantry formation of the Xuanwu Army, and the soldiers flew upside down, the weapons they dropped were scattered like cotton wool, and the blood spurted out bloomed in the air.

There are three waves, and the mountains are broken.

Jingqi is indomitable in the army.

Zhu Yin fell to his knees, extremely weak, but he still raised his head and stared at Shangguan Qingcheng.

The tide was sharp and the mountain was thick, originally there was no distinction between upper and lower, but at this moment, Shangguan Qingcheng's mighty power of the tide, with an arrogant and unreasonable posture, smashed his mountain power without leaving any room.

He didn't believe that Shangguan Qingcheng would feel better than him.

Shangguan Qingcheng's white horse passed by his eyes.

The expression of the person on the horse did not change.

The face as white as ice and snow was still fair, and the lips as red as blood were still bright red.

Only those eyes full of murderous spirit flowed with an almost devout deep affection.

Seeing this deep affection, Zhu Yin froze all over.

So he knew, he lost.

He now understands why Shangguan Qingcheng bit his own finger and painted his already scarlet lips red with blood before taking the battle.

She won't let people see her true condition. She would try her best to swallow the blood gushing out of her chest, and if she couldn't swallow it back, she would quickly wipe it away, even if the blood stained her lips red, others would not be able to see it.

The reason why she is like this is because she has the determination that as long as she does not die, she will not fall.

She has the will.

Under the circumstances of equal strength, Zhu Yin couldn't defeat such an alluring Shangguan.

He didn't know why Shangguan Qingcheng had this will.

He originally thought that he would be the first in every battle, fighting for his status, power and glory, and he was already risking his life. If it is an opponent of comparable strength, few people can defeat him.

But now he knows that Shangguan Qingcheng is not hesitating to die!

He who does not hesitate to die is not as good as one who does not hesitate to die.

What made Shangguan Qingcheng to win every battle without hesitating to die

Zhu Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't know what kind of story was in it, but he knew that it must be something more precious than status, power, and vanity.

Status, power, and vanity, these are the acme of human interests.

What could outweigh such interests

In this world, interests are the most practical and true feelings are the most precious.

Most people in the world are chasing fame and fortune, even at the cost of their lives, but there are always some people who are willing to die for the truth.

Shangguan Qingcheng was already amazingly talented, and she would not hesitate to die every time she went into battle. As long as the enemy didn't have the ability to crush her, how could she not be omnipotent

Zhu Yin fell to the ground.

At this moment, he was convinced in defeat.

——

——

Although Zhu Yin was seriously injured and fell down, he didn't even have the strength to stand up again for a while, but there were many high-ranking monks in his left and right guards, who quickly helped him up and led him away, lest he be caught by a horse's hoof in the chaos. Stamped into a meat paste.

"Take Ben to the rear!"

After Zhu Yin calmed down a little, he immediately ordered his own soldiers in a deep voice.

His eyes never left his line of battle.

In the head-to-head confrontation with Shangguan Qingcheng, his "mountain" domain was broken, and the Spike Army has now rushed into his battle formation to kill the Quartet. However, the failure of the military battle formation does not mean that he is completely lost.

Thanks to the strong fighting power of the personal soldiers, he finally protected Zhu Yin and came to the rear of the army. After taking a few pills, he managed to stabilize his injuries, and with the help of the personal soldiers, he was able to take command of the battle in the air.

Instead of going back to the boat, he asked his own soldiers to take the command flag and hand it over to him, and personally issued the military order with the flag language in mid-air, so that all the ministries could continue to resist the attack of the Spike Army.

He has forty thousand soldiers.

The Spike Army is only 8,000 people.

Although Shangguan Qingcheng's "Qingchao" domain defeated his "Mountain" domain, it was not a crushing victory. Even if the Spike Army is advancing indomitably now, Zhu Yin can accurately estimate that the Spike Army will break through his battle formation of 5,000 people at most, and the power of the "tide" will be exhausted.

At that time, without the blessing of the military's battle formation, it will be time to compare the ordinary combat power of the soldiers of the two armies. With 35,000 against 8,000, Zhu Yin is confident that with his own deployment of troops, the Spike Army will fall into a quagmire and eventually lose the battle.

In this way, the victory of today's battle still belongs to him.

Zhu Yin gritted his teeth. Even if he lost to Shangguan Qingcheng in the battle of the military forces, he could not lose this battle.

Shangguan Qingcheng has her story and persistence, and Zhu Yin also has it. Even if he doesn't have the pure heart of Shangguan Qingcheng, he is equally persistent in winning.

Through the semaphore, Zhu Yin issued several military orders in a very short period of time, ordering the left army and the right army to adjust their deployment, dispatch elites to gather for the central army, and divide them into two divisions, one to help the central army's rear to intercept In the charge of the Spike Army, one part detoured behind the Spike Army, adopting the strategy of encircling, gathering and annihilating.

Zhu Yin's arrangements are sophisticated and steady.

Even if he was besieging the Spike Army, he did not use all the strength of the Left Army and the Right Army, allowing them to still maintain the strength to deal with accidents.

This arrangement was originally meticulous.

But accidents come and go.

A soldier pointed to the front of the left wing of the army and warned loudly: "General, there are a large number of enemy troops in front of the left army!"

Zhu Yin watched intently, her hands trembling.

When the Spike Army rushed from the direction of Yuanju County, the smoke behind them was like a huge wave, covering Yuanju County. But now, when the smoke and dust that was several feet high dissipated, they saw that behind the Spike Army, there was still a black wave sweeping in!

The defenders of Yuanju County rushed out of the city gate at some point, and launched an attack on the left army under Zhu Yin's command with a clear goal!

They appeared very suddenly, and when the smoke cleared, they were already very close to the left army, so it was too late for Zhu Yin to dispatch troops to deal with it comprehensively!

Thinking about Zhu Yin with his toes, he knew that when the black tide rushed to the left army's battle formation, the elite left army was scattered because of the division of troops to encircle the Spike army, and they would definitely suffer a blow!

But now, Zhu Yin couldn't even order the elite left army to return to the formation.

That's too late.

Before they returned to their original positions, the defenders of Yuanju County would engage the left army.

Thousands of soldiers running around in the formation would have affected the stability of the battle formation. If Zhu Yin had arranged it like that when facing the attack of the Yuanju County defenders, it would be tantamount to chaos!

Besides, let the left army's elite return to aid, who will intercept the Spike Army

But if they don't return to aid, the Zuo Army will be attacked by the defenders of Yuanju County, and it is likely to be defeated, which will affect the entire battle situation!

As expected of a veteran on the battlefield, Zhu Yin realized in no time that when the Spike Army rushed in, the smoke and dust raised after the battle was actually too much and too high!

Thinking about it now, it must be that Shangguan Qingcheng ordered the monks in the formation to do something covert. Its purpose is to cover up the movement of the defenders of Yuanju County, so that the attack of the defenders of Yuanju County can be taken by surprise.

It may even be in Shangguan Qingcheng's plan for the Spike Army to take the lead in attacking the formation of the Central Army and mobilize elite soldiers from the left and right armies to intercept it!

Realizing this, Zhu Yin felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and rushing straight to his forehead.

He couldn't help shivering.

"Shangguan Qingcheng... is so terrifying?" Zhu Yin's teeth turned cold.

At this moment, he looked at the elite cavalry of the Spike Army who were constantly rushing to kill in the large formation of the Central Army, and at the general in silver armor and white robe in front of the formation of the Spike Army, he felt that the opponent was simply unfathomable.

Under that face that seemed to never change in expression, there seemed to be a spirit beast that could devour a hundred thousand troops!

Zhu Yin couldn't help feeling flustered.

But he soon calmed down.

After all, he is a military general, and he is the most famous warrior under Zhu Wen's command. Whether it is military talent or battlefield temperament, he is not comparable to ordinary generals.

Even in such a difficult and dangerous situation, Zhu Yin can still think rationally.

Zhu Yin glanced at the battle formation of the Zuo army, and thought to himself: "The garrison of Yuanju is the Tianping Army, and its combat power is very different from mine. Disaster."

With this in mind, Zhu Yin refocused his attention on the battle of the Spike Army, "The left army is still stable, and the right army is even more so. As long as we can hold back the Spike Army... this battle will be considered invincible." , It can also be delayed until dark. At that time, if the Spike Army fails to break through our Chinese army's battle formation, it will not win and can only retreat!"

"Once the Spike Army retreats, the battle will start again tomorrow..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yin felt much more at ease.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Shangguan Qingcheng's soldiers defeated him in battle, the fighting power of Yuanju defenders is still too weak. Shangguan Qingcheng only has 8,000 soldiers, and it is still impossible to win him.

But Zhu Yin didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

He always felt that Shangguan Qingcheng would not have anticipated this problem he could see in advance.

After a fight, Zhu Yin's evaluation of Shangguan Qingcheng has been rising, and now there is a tendency to deify the other party.

It is not wrong to deify the other party, at least it can make people cautious.

You can't go wrong with enough caution.

However, the facts have proved that in battle on the battlefield, when both sides are good generals, it is not impossible to be undefeated without making mistakes.

At this moment, the exclamation of the soldiers sounded: "Look, general! The right wing... a large number of enemy troops have appeared on the right wing!"

Zhu Yin was taken aback leisurely, and quickly cast her gaze over.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at Zhu Yin, you feel as if you have fallen into an ice cave, and your whole body is icy cold.

It was an army of about 20,000 infantry and cavalry.

Their banners are so dazzling.

Pinglu Army!

Seeing this army clearly, Zhu Yin swayed and almost fell from mid-air.

There was nothing else in his heart but despair.

With this Pinglu army joining, for an hour...he no longer has enough confidence to persevere.

No, it's only been half an hour since the night of the battle.

But with the appearance of the 20,000 Pinglu army infantry, the outcome has already been decided.

...

The south bank of Baigou.

"fear."

Guo Pu stared at the fierce battle on the opposite bank, chewing on these two words with a solemn expression, feeling more and more that Zhang Zhongsheng's judgment was really appropriate.

At the end, Guo Pu put away the shaking folding fan, slapped it heavily in his hand, and sighed: "With eight thousand cavalry, you dare to attack the heavily guarded formation of 40,000 people, and you can break through the formation with a thunderous force. Such a unparalleled fierce general is really rare in the world. Shangguan Qingcheng's name is worthy of the name, and Langya is even more worthy of the title of the world's sharpest!"

Speaking of this, Guo Pu smiled bitterly, "I thought to myself that I saw Huang Chao and the Fanzhen army fighting with my own eyes, and I also witnessed the speed of the Huainan army's conquest in all directions over the years. I think that there is no elite army in the world that can beat the current Huainan army. Now It seems that I am short-sighted. It turns out that in the north of the Huaihe River, in the vast Central Plains and the north, there are such tiger and wolf divisions."

After he said these words, everyone including Zhang Zhongsheng was silent for a while.

As a scholar of Confucianism, he believes that literature and Taoism are the foundation of the world, and to educate the people to be kind, filial, loyal, and willing to die bravely for the king and country is the magic weapon that will never fail. They have never had a high opinion of the military formation that relies on strength.

However, they have now seen very clearly that after the Spike Army rushed into the Xuanwu Army's central formation, there was not much power left in the battle formation. Afterwards, they were able to continue to sweep the Xuanwu Army's momentum, relying on the courage of the soldiers, the sharpness of the armor, and the clouds of monks.

It is precisely because these hard forces are obviously superior to the Xuanwu Army that Zhu Yin mobilized the elite left and right armies to chase and intercept them, so he was completely unable to block the attack of the Spike Army, and suffered heavy losses on his own.

Both Guo Pu and Zhang Zhongsheng knew that an army like Langyadu, even without the leadership of a military general, was still an elite army capable of destroying cities and villages.

In other words, if another person commands this army—as long as it is not a mediocre general, this army can still win every battle.

As soon as this idea came up, Guo Pu was extremely jealous of the Spike Army.

If Confucians want to compete for the world, in addition to scholars governing the region, educating the people, and pooling the power of the people into national power, don't they need such an army to fight against the enemy on the battlefield

At this moment, Guo Pu regards the Spike Army as a treasure mountain, wishing to take it for himself.

But he can't.

So he is having a hard time.

After a while, Zhang Zhongsheng said seriously: "When the younger generation left Qingzhou, Langya was already elite, but looking at it today, Langya is now elite, it can still be said that it is not what it used to be...they are enough Tough, but still getting tougher!"

After a pause, Zhang Zhongsheng secretly revealed a strong awe, "This junior can't even imagine how strong this army will be in the end. ? If you meet such an army on the battlefield, how can you defeat them?"

Guo Pu's expression was awe-inspiring and silent.

How to defeat this army

He has no answer. Especially when the current Huainan army is used as a reference.

Guo Pu turned his head to look at Zhang Zhongsheng, and said in a serious tone that he had never seen before: "The Pinglu Army is so elite, it is absolutely difficult to defeat them in normal times. Now they are fighting against the Xuanwu Army in the Central Plains, and they are restrained by each other. The best chance is to immediately report to the Lian envoy, and let the Huainan army rush to the Central Plains without stopping at all costs! If we lose this opportunity to intervene in the Central Plains, I am afraid that Huainan soldiers will never have the possibility to go north to the Central Plains in the future!"

Zhang Zhongsheng deeply agrees.

Watching the battle this time made their fear of the Pinglu army rise to an unprecedented height, and they really felt a sense of urgency like burning eyebrows.

After a long time, Guo Pu looked at the battlefield again, and sighed: "I heard that the feudal towns under King An's command are well-organized, people are harmonious, and the soldiers are strong. Seeing them today, I will know that the world will not deceive me."

Zhang Zhongsheng said: "Pinglu's strength, hearing it already makes people heartbroken, and seeing it makes people awe-inspiring."

Guo Pu suddenly said loudly: "Then there is a very important question now."

"What's the problem?" Zhang Zhongsheng asked.

"Huainan prospered because of Confucianism, Zhongyuan was strong because of Taoism, Guanzhong was strong because of military strategists...Why did Pinglu become so terrible?"

"The four great masters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Pinglu does not occupy any of them."

"For thousands of years, without the assistance of the four families, the princes cannot be strong."

"Keep Pinglu is stronger, and he's still the strongest."

"So what's the answer?"

"Except for one answer, this junior can't think of anything else."

Guo Pu's eyes were sharp, "I also have an answer in my heart."

Zhang Zhongsheng looked at Guo Pu, "I just don't know whether the answer in my mind is the same as that of my husband."

Guo Pu said, "The answer is only two words."

Zhang Zhongsheng nodded solemnly, and slowly said: "King An!"

Guo Pu smiled awkwardly, "Besides this, there is really no other answer."

"King An... the junior has never seen it before."

"I don't see him, but I've heard his name."

Zhang Zhongsheng sighed: "Fame is far from enough for us to truly understand King An."

A look of wisdom flashed across Guo Pu's eyes: "And I know him a little bit now."

Zhang Zhongsheng took a look at the battlefield and nodded solemnly: "This junior also learned a lot today."

Guo Pu said: "See the people to know the country, and see the ministers to know the emperor. Shangguan Qingcheng and Langya are both wise and brave. It is not difficult to imagine King An's bravery."

Zhang Zhongsheng recalled the scene of meeting Cui Keli twice, "It's not only about being brave, but also about grand plans."

"But it's not enough."

Zhang Zhong let out a long breath: "The more I understand, the more I feel that it is not enough."

"To defeat your opponent, you must first know your opponent well enough."

"This is the most obvious truth."

Guo Pu took a deep breath: "So I have decided."

Zhang Zhongsheng pondered for a moment, "Sir, I'm going to see King An, this junior must be worried."

Guo Pu laughed, "Are you afraid that if I go, I won't be able to come back?"

Zhang Zhongsheng nodded and said, "This worry is not superfluous."

"I don't believe King An will kill me."

"King An has always had the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Guo Pu smiled comfortably: "Then you don't have to worry."

Zhang Zhongsheng said seriously: "No, this junior is even more worried."

Guo Pu looked at Zhang Zhongsheng with a sullen face: "Do you think I will betray you?"

Zhang Zhongsheng did not avoid the other party's gaze: "Many times, betrayal is not due to his own misconduct."

Guo Pu laughed: "It seems that Wang An has the charm that people are willing to follow."

Zhang Zhongsheng's eyebrows were serious: "As far as I know, all those who were captured by King An eventually became his minions."

Guo Pu said: "Do you think I am the same as those ordinary people?"

Zhang Zhongsheng confronted him tit for tat: "Sir, you should know about Cui Keli."

Guo Pu fell silent.

At the end, he said: "Since this is the case, King An must see him!"

He turned and left.

Zhang Zhongsheng did not follow.

Guo Pu stopped, turned around and asked, "You don't want to see King An?"

Zhang Zhongsheng said: "The junior has been to Qingzhou twice, so he thinks more than anyone else."

Guo Pu nodded: "It seems that you dare not."

Zhang Zhongsheng admitted frankly: "The younger generation is indeed afraid of leaving forever."

Guo Pu said no more, turned around and walked down the hill.

He left a sentence: "I will prove to you that King An is not that scary."

His figure disappeared into the forest.
