Chapter 523 Behind the merits (two more)

  "We are currently in the middle of the Qiyun Mountain Range. The entire Qiyun Mountain Range is distributed in a ring belt, dividing the entire northwest into two parts. The source is located outside the country and traverses the three countries. Therefore, throughout the ages, it has also been an important barrier to prevent the Western countries from invading the northwest from here."

In the conference room, Lou Lanzhou stood by the wall with the map hanging on the wall facing the people sitting on the side. "This mountain range not only blocked the countries of the Western Regions from peeping at Anxia from the northwest, but it also divided Dayin and these countries of the Western Regions into two. The world. Until the Dayin people spread westward hundreds of years ago, there was very little exchange between Dayin and the countries in the Western Regions. Until now, it is still difficult for them to communicate through the Qiyun Mountains."

   coldly propped his chin and said, "So we don't have to worry about those small countries in the Western Regions attacking us from the Qiyun Mountains?"

Lou Lanzhou nodded and said, "Yes, if those countries want to participate in the war north of Qiyun Mountain, it is almost impossible to directly climb the Qiyun Mountain. They can only take a detour from the west through the territory of the southern part of Dayin. I am afraid that the Dayin people will not. Will tolerate them appearing on their own territory."

   Jiang Yu said, "Dayin people should also look down on the fighting power of those small countries."

   Lou Lanzhou smiled and said, "There is indeed a possibility. Dayin has a strong army. In their eyes, dealing with the Northwest does not necessarily require these small countries to follow suit. Most of those are brought by Sun Liang."

   Leng Sa asked, "We are still about two hundred miles away from Yinjun. Will they leave us behind and advance toward Yanming Pass?"

   Loulan Zhoudao, "Unless the Yin army has a large number of reinforcements to supplement, it may not be big, and the Yin army has to worry about their own rear. Since we have already arrived here, they will never leave us and run by ourselves unless we are in a hurry."

   "That's good, there will be less hard work in the future." Leng Sa is still self-aware of his abilities.

  Lou Lanzhou smiled, "Thank you, Madam, for your kind words, Lou must do his best."

   Coming out of the meeting room, they are now stationed outside a small town at the foot of the middle section of the Qiyun Mountains. There are not many people in the small town. Most of the people have already migrated to the east. Those who stay at home are old, weak, sick and disabled.

  However, the environment of this place is quite good, with the Qiyun Mountain as its back, even if it is summer, the top of the mountain can still be vaguely seen with white snow. The snow and ice on the top of the mountain melted into water, which flows down from the mountain to form a river meandering on the grassland, and this water also nourishes the grassland below the mountain, making this place more lush than anywhere else.

  Wandering in the small town coldly, compared to the yellow sand flying from time to time even at Yanming Pass in the north, this small town looks very clean. The air is fresh and the grassland is endless. This is what Leng Sa really looks like in the grassland.

  Occasionally, you can see a few old people and children in the small town, but these people are obviously a little afraid of outsiders, and they all hid at home when they saw someone. Only the more courageous children dare to open a little crack in the door and peep out. Leng Sa happened to meet a pair of dark eyes, and Zhan Yan smiled at him as if he was frightened and knocked the door shut.

Jiang Yu walked slowly beside her and smiled, "I didn't expect that there is this good place in the northwest, which is really good. I always thought it was like the north, or it was the desert and the Gobi, even the grassland was a bit desolate. ."

   Leng Sa nodded and said, "It's really good, it's in the south. But it's still too far from Anxia Center, and it's difficult to build a large-scale city with inconvenient transportation."

"Indeed." Jiang Yu said, "I heard that the people on the northwest border have more daily exchanges with the Dayin people than with the east." After all, the range of activities of the common people in a lifetime may not exceed 100 kilometers around their place of residence, which is the northwest. This vast area and few large cities are still concentrated in the east. Even herdsmen rarely travel that far. The people here, except for some businessmen, probably won't come into contact with those people and things in their entire lives.

  "Madam Young, are you planning to go there?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

   said coldly, "Walk around, you don't have to follow me."

   Jiang Yu himself still has things, so he naturally nodded and agreed, "Well, Mrs. Young can be more careful. Didn’t it mean that Da Yin people still secretly look at Mrs. Young?"

   Leng Sa smiled and said, "Thank you Jiang Shao for your concern, I know it in my heart."

   Watching Jiang Yu turn around and leave, Leng Sa said to Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan who were following him, "Let’s go and take a look outside the town."

  The two did not ask the reason, they just nodded and silently followed Leng Sa's pace.

  Not far from the town is a small river formed by the melting of ice and snow on the mountain.

  In the evening, the sunset sinks to the west, and the setting sun also stains the river with bright colors, winding and rushing to the distance like a ribbon on the grassland. Leng Sa squatted by the river and stretched out the water. The river water that just flowed out of the mountain was slightly cooler, and the summer heat made people feel refreshed.

  Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan stood aside watching Leng Sa’s movements. Fu Yucheng was a little confused, "Sister-in-law, is there any problem with this water?"

  Leng Sa looked back at him and stood up and said, "No problem."

  Fu Yucheng became even more puzzled but didn't speak any more, because he saw Leng Sa gesturing towards them.

   said coldly, "There is nothing to see here, go ahead." So the three of them walked all the way to the front, and the river turned a bend along the foot of the mountain before heading in the other direction. The three of them turned along the river, and were soon blocked by the foot of the mountain extending outward.

  The sunset gradually fell, and the last afterglow of the sunset disappeared into the sky.

  The light on the entire grassland seemed to gradually darken, but the three of them never turned away from there.

  A few men appeared by the river, and after a few conversations, they cautiously walked towards the place where the three of them disappeared.

  They are dressed in the costumes of herdsmen in the northwest region. If they don’t look closely at the outline, they look like local residents.

  Lengsa sat behind a protruding rock above the col, and sighed in disgust while observing the surroundings.

  The mountains here are different from other places where there are pine and cypresses or towering trees. A large part of the Qiyun Mountain Range is not to mention big trees, even small saplings are rare. It is the fluttering rocks and the sparse and yellow thatch, which is very inconvenient to hide whereabouts.

  I don’t know how long she waited. After a long time, she wondered if the other party had given up, and finally saw a few figures coming into her sight.

Four men with tall, big eyebrows and outlines that look like an Anxia at first glance, but they are dressed in clothes similar to those of ordinary people in the town, and they are cautiously advancing with guns in their hands, looking around, seemingly Who are you looking for?

  Leng Sa smiled slightly, raised the gun in his hand and aimed at one of them, pulling the trigger.

   A loud bang broke the tranquility of the evening. Faced with the sudden fall of his companions, the other three quickly scattered around looking for a cover to block his body before reaching out and shooting in the direction of Leng Sa.

  They didn't see Leng Sa, they just shot from the direction of the bullet. It can be said that it feels quite accurate. Just as Leng Sa slipped off the rock, seven or eight bullets passed.

  As soon as Leng Sa fell to the ground, a tumble on the spot also hid behind a rock below.

  At this time, Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan also appeared on both sides of the col at the same time, and a burst of fire was directed at the bottom. They were different from Leng Sa who only brought a pistol, and they were fully armed when he came out with Leng Sa.

  The small col was filled with gunshots for a while, and two more people fell under their guns a few minutes later.

  The remaining person immediately wanted to drive off when he saw this, but he had just exited the Col. Before he could turn around, a cold dagger was placed on his waist, "Don't move."

  He does not understand Anxia, ​​but people all over the world have the same perception of danger.

  The man's body became stiff, and slowly raised his hands and threw the gun in his hand to the ground.

  Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan made sure that the other three were indeed dead, and walked over quickly with their guns in their hands. Seeing the two coming over, Leng Sa smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, it's pretty fast."

  Fu Yucheng said, "These people are the soldiers who came to assassinate the sister-in-law? It feels very ordinary."

  Jiang Zhan nodded coldly and agreed with Fu Yucheng's words. Fu Yucheng said, "Just these few people? Wouldn't it... Sister-in-law, be careful!"

  The words were not finished yet, I saw that the person who was held hostage by Leng Sa suddenly took a dagger from his arms and turned around and stabbed towards Leng Sa, regardless of the danger behind him.

  Leng Sa gave a sneer, leaned to the left, and sent the dagger in his hand without hesitation.

  The severe tingling made the man snorted, but the dagger in his hand was still unwilling to give up relying on his height advantage and slashed towards Leng Sa.

   "Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots sounded at the same time, and Jiang Zhan and Fu Yucheng behind them shot at the same time.

  The man was stabbed with a dagger on his waist and still stuck in his waist. After being shot twice in the back, his body trembled. Leng Sa took the opportunity to kick him out.

  "Why is it so difficult to leave a living?" Leng Sa had a headache, and Jiang Zhan said, "Young lady...we didn't hit the key." Both of them shot the man's left and right shoulder blades a little bit out, and should not kill anyone.

  The two glanced at the person who fell on the ground and couldn't get up, then looked at the Leng Sa who was standing aside, and couldn't help covering their waist silently.

  The knife was pierced accurately and hard, and they all felt the pain.

   Leng Sa sighed, waved his hand and said: "Take it home first, you should not be able to die for a while... right?"

   "……" is hard to say.

  Fu Yucheng said, "Why are these four people?"

   Leng Sa lightly kicked the person on the ground, and said casually, "Come and test it."

  The gunshots naturally attracted the attention of the people stationed outside the town. When Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan were carrying the half-dead people back, Lou Lanzhou had already found someone with them.

   Seeing the man in their hands, Lou Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter?"

   said coldly, "Find someone who can talk a lot and ask."

   Lou Lanzhou was clear, nodded and waved to make people hurry to take the person for treatment. If he died like this, he couldn't ask anything.

  What disappointed everyone was that they didn't ask anything, because the man died before he returned to the camp, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss.

Leng Sa is very regretful but helpless, Lou Lanzhou is even more worried, "Madam Young should be more careful these days." It is impossible for Da Yin to send only four people to assassinate Leng Sa. You must know that Leng Sa. Sa is in the army most of the time now, even if she is not around, there are people who protect her. It is not easy to assassinate her.

  Leng Sa nodded and said, "I know, don't worry."

Shao Lou said that he was not at ease, "Madam Shao deliberately led people out, right?"

   Leng Sa sighed, "If you do it in a small town, you will inevitably hurt the innocent." Sometimes there is really no way, for example, the other party just does it without saying a word. But since you can choose the battlefield yourself, you must try your best not to cause any impact.

   Lou Lanzhou shook his head, "No wonder Brother Fu always feels uneasy."

Shao Lou felt that if he married such a lady, he would be uneasy at all times. So no matter how much Lou Lanzhou appreciates Leng Sa, they will only become friends. Because he thinks he doesn't have the strong endurance ability of Young Master Fu, once or twice is nothing more than the number of times he really can't stand it.

  I don’t think so coldly about this. These men always think that women take risks to make them worry, but when they take risks on their own, they only take it for granted and don’t think much about whether women are worried.

  But when Lou Lanzhou mentioned Fu Fengcheng, Lord Leng was still a little embarrassed, "He looked for you?"

  Lou Lanzhou smiled and said, “A telegram every day, if Mrs. Shao has something to do with me, it’s hard for me to explain to Shao Fu.”

  "..." I haven't been so diligent in contacting me. Does Fu Fengcheng don't love me anymore?

  While the two were talking, someone outside the door reported, “There is a Mr. Su who claims to be Adjutant Fu Shao to see him.”

  Leng Sa is a little surprised, is Su Ze so fast? Arriving here from the southwest, it seems that it hasn't been a few days since Fu Fengcheng told her the news.

  Lou Lanzhou smiled meaningfully at Leng Sa, and ordered, "Please come in, Adjutant Su."

  Su Ze did not come alone, and four young men followed him. The four of them knew they were all masters at a glance, and Jiang Zhan's eyes were a little bright when only a few people walked in.

   "Madam Shao." Su Ze respectfully saluted Leng Sa, and then turned to Lou Lanzhou, "Shao Lou."

  Lou Lanzhou said, "Adjutant Su, I have worked hard along the way. Presumably Shao Fu has a lot of things to convey to Adjutant Su, so Lou will leave first."

  Everyone watched Lou Lanzhou leave, and the atmosphere in the tent instantly became much more easy-going. It is true that Lou Lanzhou is an approachable person, but for the people of the Fu family, he is still an outsider after all, and having an outsider present is completely different from not having an outsider present.

  Leng Sa walked over and poured a few glasses of water and pushed it to Su Ze, and said, "Sit down, you have worked hard to get to the northwest so quickly."

   Su Ze smiled helplessly, "The young man is very worried about the safety of Mrs. Young. Just after returning from the battlefield and heard about Mrs. Young's great achievements, let us set off."

  Leng Sa sat on one side, propped his chin, and said, "Fu Fengcheng asked you to look at me? But, can Deputy Officer Su beat me?"

Su Ze smiled and said, "You can't fight, but the young man said that everyone around you listens to you. If you want to take risks, they may not dare to persuade you. So..." So the main task of Adjutant Su's arrival is not to protect Fu Shao. Madam, but watch her not to do something too dangerous. Even if it can't be dissuaded, you can notify Fu Dashao as soon as possible.

   Leng Sa glanced at him, coldly said, "It turns out to be a spy."

  Su Ze is not afraid, he and Leng Sa have known her temperament for a long time, and he smiled and said, "Madam, the subordinates are also eating food."

  "Your eldest and youngest family has time to worry about me, why didn't he say what he did?"

  Su Ze immediately looked at him with a guilty conscience, "This...hey, isn't the young man afraid that Mrs. Shaw is worried? How has Mrs. Shao been in the Northwest recently? Is there anything you are not used to?"

  '..." Leng Sa was speechless, and asked for a while, "Then what... The battle of three thousand wins and twenty thousand, did you go with it? "

  Su Ze shook his head quickly, "No, it was Xu Shaoming who went with him."

   said coldly, "Then you must have heard about the process." No matter how detailed the information the military received, it only contained tactical ideas and the course of the battle, and would not describe in detail what they experienced during the seven days.

  Su Ze frantically shook his head, "I don't know."

  Leng Sa tilted her head slightly and gave him a amiable smile, "If I ask Xu Shaoming, he said he told you..."

   Su Ze suddenly collapsed, "Madam Young, it's all over, no one is injured, really."

  Leng Sa nodded and said, "You know, just because it's over, you should tell me the story, and let us admire the great achievements and majestic appearance of the young and old?"

  "..." Big young, it's not that I want to betray you, but I have to betray you.

  When a person is full of glory, outsiders often see only glory. When everyone is madly praising Fu Fengcheng’s victory this time, few people really care about what it is to play hide-and-seek for seven days and seven nights with only three thousand troops and twenty thousand people in the primitive jungle full of miasma. feel.

  In that big mountain, the biggest enemy is not even the two hostile parties, but the primitive jungle itself.

  Leng Sa has experienced wild survival training in the primitive jungle, but what she said from Su Ze still shocked her. It was true that Fu Fengcheng was not injured, but he didn't close his eyes for several days and nights. After returning home, he went to sleep and passed out after finishing the rest of the arrangement. Later, because of the miasma in the jungle, he suffered from respiratory infections.

  Naturally, the news did not reach the northwest, and when Su Ze contacted Xu Shaoming for the last time on the way to the northwest, Fu Fengcheng's illness only got better and he still hadn't fully recovered.

  And those who were with Fu Shao, including Xu Shaoming himself, said that they would never want to be close to the primitive jungle anymore in this life.

  As for the Nile people who were annihilated there, Suze believes that place will become a nightmare and life forbidden zone for the Nile people from now on.

  After listening to Su Ze's words, Leng Sa was silent for a long time without speaking.

  Su Ze was a little worried, and hesitated, "Madam Young, Young Master is really...nothing big, don't worry."

   Leng Sa waved his hand and said, "I know, when the time is late, you are tired all the way over, go and rest."

  She also knows that no matter how worried about the situation is nowadays, it won’t help. The biggest hope is that this war will end soon, and everyone will be able to live in peace.

  Su Ze and others saw that she was a little depressed, and they couldn't bother any more, they could only get up and quit.

  Two days later, everyone received the news that the Yin Army in the Qiyun Mountain Range suddenly began to try to relocate to the north to join the Yin Army reinforcements who had just entered from Da Yin.

  Getting the news, Lou Lanzhou did not hesitate to place troops and horses to intercept, Leng Sa and his party still accompanied, and the originally peaceful Qiyun Mountain line began to become smoky.

  The war in the north is stalemate, and the Sun's coalition forces in the south of the Qiyun Mountains are also having a difficult time.

  In these days, Sun Liang's whole person is almost ten years old. Since Qu Jing refused to obey the command and rushed to the east and was defeated by the Fu family, Sun Liang felt that everything went wrong.

  The reality is indeed the case. He originally thought that according to the relationship between the people in the capital and the Fu Jialong family, even if they had to reach an agreement to support the Northwest, it would take a long time at least. Unexpectedly, these people would reach an agreement so quickly.

  What’s more terrible is that Fu Fengcheng suddenly appeared to the southwest when he hadn't expected it at all. After several battles, he drove back the Nile people who were already approaching Yue's house in less than a month.

  If this continues, the Nile people will not be able to defend the southwestern territory at all, and they will be driven back to the Nile directly.

  Once the Nile people withdrew, the rear of his grandson's house was completely exposed under Fu Fengcheng's eyelids!

  Whenever he thinks of Fu Fengcheng, Sun Liang feels throbbing in his heart. Just as many people regretted not killing Sun Liang in Beijing, Sun Liang also regretted not killing him when Fu Fengcheng's wings were not yet full.

  With these victories in the Southwest, Fu Fengcheng will be able to make a brilliant mark in the history of war in the future even if he does nothing in his life.

  The soldiers and horses of the Sun family in the southwest and the Nile soldiers and horses are like stepping stones specially prepared for Fu Fengcheng's brilliant achievements.

  On the other hand, Song Ye and Long Yue are not fuel-efficient lamps either.

Sun Liang has never taken advantage of Song Ye's battle with Song Ye. This time he finally found a chance to stab Song Ye with a few stabs. Maybe he would be able to get his blood free. Who knew that a group of nosy people broke out in the middle of the journey. Guy.

  Now Song Ye is guarding the eastern line of defense, making it difficult for Sun Jiajun to move forward. Long Yue is invincible, beating those small western countries in a daze, and many of them even vaguely retreat.

  If Sun Liang hadn't comforted him well and had given back a lot of materials and promises, I am afraid that many people would have already retired.

  Looking at the trembling youth standing in front of him, thinking about Long Yue and Fu Fengcheng, Sun Liang became even more angry and finally couldn't help kicking the coffee table in front of him.

  The young man standing on the side was taken aback, and quickly said: "Father...breath, calm your anger. Being angry is not good for your health..."

  He is Sun Liang’s son, but he is only a concubine whose biological mother is a concubine. He was not favored before. His father almost regarded them as non-existent, and they finally had a chance to get ahead after Sun Rui died, but no one could completely occupy the top.

  So Sun Liang’s sons and even his nephews joined the competition. After all, Sun Liang’s ability to gain a foothold in the family should not be underestimated. Sun Liang's brothers and clan brother cousins ​​have considerable power in the Sun family.

  Sun Liang snorted softly and asked, "What's happening in the southwest?"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly reported, “After the last battle, the Nile people suffered heavy losses and were temporarily unable to fight again. They took the initiative to retreat for dozens of miles and distanced themselves from the Southern Sixth Provincial Army. The Southern Sixth Provincial Army has been quiet in the past few days. , Seems to be taking a break. Dad, is there a loss in the six southern provinces..."

  Sun Liang sneered, and said, “Fu Fengcheng has 3,000 people. Even if the entire army is wiped out, what kind of loss is it?” During the period in the northwest, more than 3,000 people died in one day.

  The young man was a little puzzled, "Why don't the six southern provinces move?"

Sun Liang frowned and was obviously thinking about this question. It took a while before he said: "During this period of time, the Sixth Southern Provincial Army has advanced too fast. I am afraid that Fu Fengcheng will still guard against those surnamed Yue. In this way, you can send someone to the Yue family. , You must meet Yue Zhao himself."

  The young man's eyes shone slightly, "Father, what do you mean..."

  Sun Liang gave him an angry look, "Don't talk nonsense, go!"

"Yes!"
