Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 6 Xu Jing
Seeing the respected and respected General Lian, the refugees under the Hanye city wall seemed to see the hope of life, plopped down on their knees and shouted:

"General Lian, save us!" "Let's go into the city!"...

Even the female general of the iceberg beauty in front of the city gate softened her face at this time, and greeted her and said, "Teacher, you are finally back. There are many refugees outside the city, and it is inconvenient for the father to show up. He has already held a banquet in the palace to clean up the dust for the general." .”

Lian Hongye glanced at the gray refugees on both sides, and then replied to the female general: "General You Shuang came to welcome you personally, and the old man's face is already bright."

As he spoke, he galloped his horse forward and entered the city together with the female general, and the gate of the city was closed afterward.

After entering the city gate, the female general moved closer to Lian Hongye and whispered, "Teacher, if you come back, the refugees outside the city will be saved."

"No." Lian Hongye said.

"Why?" The female general frowned and asked Zhuma.The hundreds of soldiers who followed stopped in shock.

It turned out that the female general had written several letters to Lian Hongye in the past few days, explaining in detail about the refugees outside Hanye City, asking Lian Hongye to ask the Lord Baichenghou for instructions to open the city and accept the people.

Therefore, as soon as she heard that Lian Hongye had returned, she invited herself to welcome her. She wanted to meet her teacher first, and discuss the opening of the city before the banquet with the king.

Unexpectedly, Lian Hongye gave her a "no" as soon as they met, and dismissed her.

"General Shuang, let's go." Lian Hongye said lightly.

The female general glanced at the army behind her before she rode forward again, but there was already a thin layer of frost on her brows.

After a long while, the female general said again: "Teacher, do you think that the city can no longer accommodate people? Hanye City is the hometown of all Ju people, and the first batch of Ju people all grew up on this land.

When my ancestor Baichenghan built this city, he promised to all the people of Ju State who participated in the construction of the city that no matter how many years have passed, the walls of Hanye City will always be for the people of Ju State in future generations, and resist the new wind of Leizhou.

So although my country Ju is small, the city walls of Hanye City are comparable to the capital of the great country Langya.Today, even though there are many refugees, the city can still afford three thousand people! "

"General Shuang, Xue Yi has already told me about the situation in the city," Lian Hongye said.

"Then why-"

"Even if I ask, your father will not agree."

The female general's face changed suddenly: "How come? Teacher, you are—"

"If your father would agree, I shouldn't be in Hanye City now." Lian Hongye sighed, and his stern face unexpectedly showed a bit of old look.

……

Outside the city gate, the refugees were still bustling and crying, because General Lian ignored them and rushed into the city.

But Ye Ziqi's mood is very different, until now, his excitement has not calmed down.

When he saw the two generals riding horses to meet each other, the famous general on the Megatron side and the peerless beauty walking side by side, a kind of fanaticism suddenly surged in his heart, and he said fiercely in his heart——

Be a hero!Beauties should be like this!
"Who is that woman on the white horse? She can walk with General Lian on horseback, why haven't I heard of such a famous person in Ju Country before?" Gu Feng asked the people next to him.

Ye Ziqi hastened to listen attentively, this was also his concern.

But most of the refugees next to them also looked at a loss, Gu Feng asked a few more people, and suddenly a voice said:
"That lord is the commander of the capital of our country Ju, the eldest daughter of the lord Baichenghou, Baichengshuang!"

"What!" Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng exclaimed at the same time, looking for the sound, they both cried out in their hearts: Good man!
I saw that the person who answered them just now was a tall, majestic, strong man between the ages of 25 and [-], walking towards them.

"Brother, is what you said true?" Ye Ziqi asked the man again.

The man smiled and said: "Of course I don't lie to my little brother. Last winter, General Wang Xian died of illness. Later, his position as the commander of the capital was suspended for several months. It was not until this spring that he was assigned to General Baichengshuang." .”

"So it happened this year. We don't know much about the news in our town, so we know that things are always late." Ye Ziqi said.

"But even if she's surnamed Baicheng, it's too—" Ye Ziqi sighed in an unbelievable tone. In fact, he didn't know much about Ju's military system, but every child in Beishan Town at least Everyone knows that the "Commander of the Capital" is the highest position in the Ju State Army.

Ju country's highest military power is actually in the hands of such an ice and snow beauty who looks only in her early twenties. Does this mean that Ju country is deserted?
"Hey, don't underestimate that female general." The burly man seemed to see what Ye Ziqi was thinking, and said with a smile: "She can sit in this seat not only because of her father's shadow. Han Ye There's a lot going on about her in town.

It is said that when she was 15 years old, she single-handedly killed the monster Jufu (Note [-]) on Chongwu Mountain, and joined the army as the head of a hundred households.

, with a good military strategy, he made great contributions to suppressing horse thieves, and he was named the head of a thousand households.

Now he is only 21 years old, but he manages the army well and convinces the soldiers.Her prestige was not even lost to that of her elder brother who was also the commander of the capital and had been in the army for twenty years. "

Ye Ziqi was stunned when he heard the words. Hearing this experience, it was even more exciting than the biographies of the peerless heroes he read in the library.

Gu Feng's eyes were more focused on the man in front of him. Although this man was not handsome and his clothes were plain, he had a straight nose, a broad forehead, and sparkling eyes. He gave people the impression of being steady and resourceful. Unlike ordinary people.

Gu Feng clasped his hands and said: "Chengxiongtai, please explain. My name is Gu Feng, and this is my brother Ye Ziqi."

The man also cupped his hands and said: "My name is Xu Jing, everyone is a perishing person, so you don't have to be polite."

"It turned out to be Brother Xu, nice to meet you." Ye Ziqi hurriedly said: "From what Brother Xu said, it seems that he knows Hanye City quite well. Our brothers are newcomers and are encountering difficulties. I wonder if Brother Xu is free to talk to us more A few words, help us unravel it?"

Xu Jing couldn't understand the meaning of friendship in Ye Zi's words, he laughed and said: "To be honest, I just saw the two little brothers standing in the crowd, full of energy and spirit, and I intend to get along with the two of you." We made friends, so we came here to chat. Since the two think highly of Xu, we might as well find a place and talk slowly."

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng both agreed, so the three of them walked out of the crowd, came under a cedar tree, reported their homes, and talked in detail.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng explained their experiences, emphasizing their desire to join the army.After hearing this, Xu Jing asked: "Is the family of the two of you a military household?"

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng shook their heads together, and said, "Isn't it a military household? We don't know much about Ju's military system, so I ask Brother Xu to clarify."

"It's not impossible, but it's just a little more troublesome." Xu Jing said: "Ju's military system implements the military system of guards. From Hanye City to various counties and towns, guards are set up to manage local households with military registration.

There are more than [-] military households across the country, and soldiers have always been recruited from these fixed military households.Each household sends out a soldier, brother dies brother inherits, father dies son inherits.The recruited soldiers will eventually be commanded by military guards.

Ju State has three major military guards, one guard has 600 people, and the highest-ranking guard chief among them is called "Commander Du", that is, General Baichengyan of the first guard, General Lian Hongye of the second guard, and General Baicheng Shuang of the third guard. .There are commanders of thousands, commanders of centuries and so on. "

"Then we don't come from military households, so we have nowhere to go?" Ye Ziqi said anxiously.

"In normal times, this is indeed a trouble. But—" Xu Jing changed his tone and said, "The current situation is different.

This winter, the calamity of horse thieves is far worse than in previous years, and it has penetrated from the coast to the villages and towns of Beishan and Hanshi.In order to deal with this situation, General Lian Hongye stationed a military camp on Xuelongpo, [-] miles northwest of Hanye City, the day before yesterday, and set up an altar to recruit troops, called 'Wuju'.

Even ordinary people, as long as they possess martial arts skills and have the heart to serve the country, and pass the test of "martial arts", they can make an exception and be included in the army.

I see that although the two little brothers are young, their bodies are quite strong. If they have martial arts skills, they might as well go there and try their skills. "

"Okay!" Ye Ziqi heard about the "martial arts", it was hopeless, there was no way out, there was another village, excitedly pulled Gu Feng's arm, and said: "Gu Feng, we have a way out! Hurry up That Xuelongpo, with your ability, must be fine."

But to Ye Ziqi's surprise, Gu Feng's face at this moment was strangely gloomy, he was silent for a while, frowning, but asked Xu Jing:

"Brother Xu, I heard that General Baichengyan used to guard Hanye City, and just now I saw General Lian Hongye and General Baichengshuang entering the city. According to Brother Xu, the commanders of all three armies are actually gathered in Hanye City. Who is commanding the northern defense line?"

Xu Jing glanced at Gu Feng with some surprise, and then replied: "You... not bad. You are in a difficult situation, but you still care about state affairs. But your question... Well, you have to have soldiers, so you have to use people to command."

Gu Feng frowned.

"What does this mean?" Ye Ziqi also sensed something was wrong.

"Nowadays, there is no northern line of defense anymore!" Xu Jing sighed, and said, "Actually, about half a month ago, a group of barbarian cavalry somehow bypassed many checkpoints and suddenly appeared on the northern second floor of Hanye City. Ten miles of Cold Stone Town.

Although General Baicheng immediately dispatched troops to wipe them out, the lord of the country, the Marquis of Baicheng, then issued an urgent order for General Lian Hongye and General Baichengshuang to lead troops back to defend Hanye Capital. "

Ye Ziqi felt cold, and asked: "Could it be that Ju's army is now guarding this Hanye City regardless of the people killed by horse thieves?"

Xu Jing replied in a deep voice: "It's almost like this. This is also because the thieves and disasters this year have exceeded everyone's expectations. The letter of appeal to the emperor in Tianyue City is already on the way. At this time next year, Emperor Dasong would send troops from the inland vassal states in advance.

But this year, all the princes in the northern border are doing this. They can't catch those horse thieves who are roaming around, and they can't figure out the details of the horse thieves, so they gather all their troops by their side and put them in the capital to defend themselves. "

"That's why the horse thief came to our town suddenly, and we didn't receive any warning!" Ye Ziqi shouted with red eyes.

Xu Jing stared at Ye Ziqi for a while, then sighed, "Brother Ye, since you came from a mountain town, you should know how the people in the mountains put out the fire, right?

When a wildfire is burning, it is impossible to extinguish it directly. The only feasible way is to cut down the grass and trees and clear a isolation zone.

In this way, when the weeds in the isolation zone are all burned, the mountain fire will naturally die out and cannot spread outside the isolation zone.

People are weeds, horse thieves are fire!Do the princes who control the "isolation zone" of the army care about the life and death of weeds?
The princes in Hanye City know that the fire will only burn for one winter, and the material capacity that the horse thieves can really carry is not large. If they plunder enough, they will go back to Qianzhou before the spring; and when the spring breeze wakes up, the weeds will grow again by themselves. Get up and continue to feed them.

The "isolation belt" of the army does not need to enclose the wildfire, it is enough to enclose the princes themselves! "

Xu Jing suddenly stared straight into the eyes of Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng, and said in a deep voice: "This world is a battlefield of raging fire! Two little brothers, have you thought about what you want to do on this battlefield? ?"

Gu Feng remained silent, while Ye Ziqi avoided Xu Jing's gaze, turned his head to look at the closed gate of Hanye City, and the snow sculpture flying away, and said softly:

"Don't dare to think too much. Since I'm just a grassroots citizen, I only hope to avoid the flames and take root in a safe isolation zone. I want to step into that city gate, and that's all I dare to think about now."

This is quite plain.But from Gu Feng's perspective, he happened to notice that when Ye Ziqi said these words softly, a pair of strange fiery golden double pupils lit up in his eyes looking towards the city gate.
