Chapter 154 Linjiang City, fishing alone in the cold river snow

For those really big shots, such as the war between the Bilong Clan and the Jiandai Clan, this level of events is a major event that can attract their attention.

Big shots have so many big things to pay attention to every day, who has time to pay attention to a "little guy" at his level?

Therefore, as long as he does not expose the heroic spirit he has accumulated in the past half a year to the public at once, no big shot will pay attention to him.

But the news brought by Su Yuan still aroused Shen Guanye's vigilance.

War has always been the most terrifying thing, and he was very likely to be involved in it.

"What word is this?"

While Shen Guanye was thinking, Su Yuan suddenly spoke, pointing to a certain word on "Mo Mei Tie" and asked.

"Mei Mei Tie" writes about the scene when the plum blossoms bloom in winter. It is an article that expresses one's ambitions. It begins with the four words "Tian Tong Three Years".

"Tiantong" is the year name, "Tiantong three years" refers to the third year of Tiantong, and the word Su Yuan refers to is the word "Tong".

Shen Guanye glanced at Su Yuan in surprise, wondering why she didn't know such a basic and commonly used word.

Su Yuan caught this hint of surprise, so she smiled and said frankly:
"I had never read before. I started reading and writing after joining the National Salvation Association. But I am stupid and not very good at reading."

"When I was young, my family was poor. I have been learning to make fires to cook, pull pig grass and herd cattle as long as I can remember. I had no money and no time to study. When I grew up, I had time, but I was stupid and learned very slowly."

Having said this, Su Yuan paused and sighed:
"It's a good thing I didn't go to school when I was a kid, otherwise it would be such a waste with my brain."

As she spoke, she looked at the rows of books on the bookshelf with an expression of envy and yearning, as if she was looking at something lofty and sacred.

There was surprise on Shen Guanye's face that could not be concealed, but his surprise was not looking down upon others.

He really didn't expect that Su Yuan had never studied and could not even read a few Chinese characters.

Because Su Yuan's conversation, temperament, and impression all seemed to come from a scholarly family. Not to mention reading poetry and books, at least he was infiltrated by the scholarly family.

When they met several times before, Su Yuan always stood in front of the bookshelf while waiting in the study, looking at the books on the shelf.

His interest in books is obvious to the naked eye, and he really doesn't look like someone who is illiterate.

Even because she was an important member of the National Salvation Association, Shen Guanye felt that she might have studied abroad and received modern ideas.

It’s hard to imagine such a woman who is as quiet and white as the gardenias in the hot summer evening but exudes the rich and full fragrance of flowers, and is filled with surging vitality...

He went so far as to pull out pigweed. After pulling out the pigweed, he had to go to the dirty pig pen to feed the pigs.

This completely subverted his understanding of Su Yuan.

"Don't waste it. No one is born to read, and no one is born not to read. If you don't mind, I can teach you how to read and write in the future."

After being surprised, Shen Guanye said seriously.

Su Yuan was startled, then smiled.

"it is good."

Then she picked up the wooden box containing mung bean cake on the table and said:
"I'll go first, be careful yourself."

The chubby Five Lucky Rat appeared and used his magical power. The next second, Su Yuan disappeared into the study.

After the people left, Shen Guanye picked up the wood elf tree house on the table and took it into the Kingdom of God. Then he opened the glass box and planted the tree house.

The planted tree house began to grow vigorously, and in the blink of an eye it grew into a towering tree. The branches and leaves in the canopy were entangled to form a tree house, and then vines hung down until they were close to the ground.

In the tree house, one wood elf after another walked out and landed on the ground along the vines.

A total of four wood elves lined up and appeared in front of Shen Guanye.

These four wood elves are very similar to the image of elves in Shen Guanye's mind.

Tall, slender, with pointed ears and handsome appearance, both men and women are represented.

The men are taller, and the women are not short either. They wear dark green vine armor, a crown made of branches and flowers on their head, a scimitar at their waist, and an emerald green long bow on their back.

Several yellow scarf warriors came carrying the gold mine and placed it under the tree house.

Soon, four wood elves were recruited.

Although the other series of heroic spirits are definitely not as cost-effective as the god-type heroic spirits, Shen Guanye is still quite happy to get a wood elf tree house.

Including the Liugui, Yinzai, etc. that were obtained before, these heroic spirits may not be as good as the god-type heroic spirits, but they still have their own strengths and can still be used in the event of a war.

After all, different heroic spirits have different application scenarios. Besides, he is in urgent need of accumulating strength now, so how can he be picky?
Soon, Shen Guanye withdrew his spiritual thoughts and focused on the news brought by Su Yuan.

The only thing to worry about now is the risk of war.

I don't know if he and his Hongdong battalion will need to go to the battlefield, but there is a high probability that they will.

Once the war starts, it is unknown when it will stop and how it will stop.

Hongdong Camp is so close to the Tiger Cave that is the focus of the dispute between the two sides, and it is impossible to stay away from it.

However, Shen Guanye was not too worried.

His real strength is much stronger than what he appears on the surface. Even if something unexpected happens on the battlefield, he can still protect himself and his men from being wiped out.

Sure enough, a few days later, Shen Guanye received a notice: He was asked to lead the Hongdong Battalion to garrison Linjiang City.

Linjiang City is a city in the upper reaches of Zhenlongjiang River. It is adjacent to Zhenlongjiang River and built on the mountains. The terrain is dangerous and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Once Linjiang City is lost, the enemy can go down the Zhenlong River, go straight to Huanglong, and attack Canglang City.

In ancient times, several separatist forces established their capitals in Canglang City, and the capitals were captured in this way several times.

Therefore, the geographical location of Linjiang City is crucial.

For the safety of Linjiang City, Marshal Hong directly deployed three divisions of troops there, totaling 3 people, plus additional defense forces that could be temporarily recruited - like Hongdong Camp, the number even reached 5 people.

You must know that the entire Bilong Clan only has 50 soldiers.

One-tenth of the total force was directly deployed, which cannot be said to be ignored.

……

In the county government and the governor's office, Shen Guanye was drinking tea and asking for news from Governor Chen.

The one who ordered him to stand up and go to Linjiang City to assist in the defense was his superiors in the army, but he had no connections in the army, and even because of Gong Ziqiang, he inevitably offended many people.

For the sake of yourself and the safety of your subordinates, there are some things you must find out clearly.

Governor Chen naturally knew about his difficulties and had inquired about it early in the morning.

"Don't worry, Major General Yang, who is in charge of Linjiang City, has nothing to do with Gong Ziqiang's faction. He won't do anything to you because of Gong Ziqiang's affairs."

"In fact, even if Major General Yang is really from that faction, he won't do anything to you. Gong Ziqiang's level is too far away from him. Of course, the same cannot be said for his subordinates."

It is not a trivial matter for Gong Ziqiang to raise the self-respect of the bandits, but to say that it can affect people at the level of major general is a joke.

Affected by Gong Ziqiang's incident, the one with the highest position among those who were abducted was the brigade commander, with the rank of colonel, which was far from the rank of major general.

"The superiors ordered the troops stationed near Linjiang City to rush to Linjiang City to assist in the defense. We are also afraid that the Jiandai clan will make a surprise attack on Linjiang City."

"If Linjiang City is lost, the Jiandai clan will still make money even if they fail to get the tiger's lair."

"You and your people are in Linjiang City. As long as you follow the orders, there will be no problems."

With Governor Chen's words, Shen Guanye felt reassured.

After all, this is not just the analysis of Governor Chen, but also the analysis of Governor Bai's faction behind him.

After talking to his family, Shen Guanye quickly set off with his men.

Two days later, Shen Guanye braved the snow and led people to Linjiang City.

Linjiang City is built on a mountain. There is a huge flat surface on the cliff. I don’t know how this flat surface was formed. It is simply an ingenious workmanship.

Linjiang City is built on this plane. Going down from Linjiang City, there are steep cliffs on three sides. Only the terrain near Zhenlong River is slightly gentle.

But it is only a slight delay. If you want to attack from below, let alone ordinary people, even heroic spirits will have a hard time.

At least this is the case for low-level flightless heroic spirits.

Such a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack determines that any enemy who wants to capture Linjiang City will have to pay a huge price - unless they have an absolute advantage in strength, such as the 14th-level Apocalypse who directly overwhelms them.

And if you choose not to attack Linjiang City and go directly down the Zhenlong River, then wait for the defenders to kill them like mercury leaking from the ground.

It can be said that every inch of this fortified city is soaked in blood.

That's what soldiers from past generations left behind.

The soldiers of Hongdong Camp immediately realized how difficult it was to attack Linjiang City.Even without the enemy blocking the enemy, climbing to Linjiang City with guns and cannons would have cost half the lives of ordinary soldiers. You can imagine how difficult it would be to enter Linjiang City in wartime.

They don't even have enough people to fill the gap between their teeth.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the first and second level Apocalypse were a little out of breath after climbing the mountain.

Everyone's feet were wet and covered in mud.

Soon, Shen Guanye met his immediate superior for this operation.

He is a brigade commander named Lin.

Although his position and military rank are higher than those of Shen Guanye, Brigadier Lin is very polite to Shen Guanye.

During the conversation, he did not put himself in a leadership position, at least not in a leadership posture.

Shen Guanye had a good impression of him.

Later, due to his special status, Shen Guanye also met the person in charge of this place, Major General Yang.

There are a total of three divisions guarding Linjiang City, and the other two division commanders are both brigadier generals.Only Major General Yang holds the rank of major general, so he is the highest officer in Linjiang City.

Major General Yang himself is also an Apocalypse Lord, and he has a seventh-level heroic spirit lair under his command.

You know, every warlord leader is deeply defensive against his subordinates, for fear that his subordinates will rebel.And if you have both soldiers and a seventh-level heroic spirit lair, you can become a small warlord.

It is not possible to separate a province, but it is still possible to separate several cities.

Under such circumstances, Marshal Hong also allowed Major General Yang to have a seventh-level lair, which shows his trust in him.

It is said that Major General Yang has a serious temperament and runs the army very strictly. The soldiers below him respect and fear him.

Judging from the appearance, the other party does have a serious character, but perhaps because Shen Guanye is also the Lord of Tianqi, Major General Yang does not look very cold, and occasionally shows a smile when speaking.

However, the other party only took the time to meet him once and did not chat for a few words.

Soon, Shen Guanye was taken by Brigadier Lin to understand the situation.

On the city wall, Shen Guanye and Brigadier Lin stood side by side, looking at the river and sky not far away.

Both sides are covered with white snow.

Looking from a distance, it really fits the saying "birds will fly away from thousands of mountains, and people will disappear from thousands of paths."

If it weren't for the fact that there was an old man fishing in a lone boat missing on the river.

Then even the last sentence, "A lone man in a boat and a coir raincoat fishing alone in the snow on the cold river" should be included.

Leaving aside the military town, Linjiang City is actually a very good place to enjoy the view of Zhenlongjiang River.

Next to Brigadier Lin stood a slender and tall figure.

This figure is not unfamiliar to Shen Guanye. He has seen a similar one before, it is the egret spirit.

Egret Actuarial is Brigadier Lin's personal bodyguard.

Shen Guanye is accompanied by Gu Qingyu. When it comes to leading troops in war, he is the professional. Brigadier Lin is not so much responsible for explaining to Shen Guanye as he is explaining to Gu Qingyu.

Soldiers and heroic spirits standing guard can also be seen not far away.

Brigadier Lin's eyes swept over Shen Guanye's shadow, even though he had an egret spirit as his guard, and he could command more than one seventh-level heroic spirit.

But in terms of protection ability, the egret spirit is still far less exciting than the frost warrior.

Unfortunately, the frost warriors have always been exclusive to the Apocalypse lords. Very few non-Apocalypse lords can get the frost warriors.

Brigadier Lin took the chalk in his hand and scribbled on the ground, and soon he drew a simple topographic map.

From this point of view, Brigadier Lin has the demeanor of a professional soldier. He knows the terrain well and has good painting skills.

"This is Linjiang City, and this is Yongjia City. The defenders of the Jiandai Clan are stationed here. Because the geographical location is much worse than that of Linjiang City, Yongjia City has many more defenders than Linjiang City. , there are 5 people resident there.”

Brigadier Lin pointed at the two city signs and said.

Then he pointed at the fortifications scattered in various important roads, and then drew a line with chalk.

"These are important areas, and together they form Linjiang City's defense line."

Brigadier Lin drew in one of the places, then threw away the chalk and stood up.

"At that time, Battalion Commander Shen, you will go to this place. There is already a battalion stationed there. Battalion Commander Shen, you can just go over and help defend."

Brigadier Lin smiled.

"I guess nothing will happen. This place is not a key location, and the people of the Jiandai Clan will not spend a lot of effort to attack. Even if there is an accident, people around will be able to support it quickly."

"Don't worry, as long as the Jiandai Clan doesn't attack with all its strength, Linjiang City will be impregnable."

Shen Guanye nodded slightly.

The Bilong Clan is far stronger than the Jiandai Clan. The reason why it only occupies three provinces and not more is not because it cannot do so in terms of strength, but because Marshal Hong is backed by the Star Kingdom and has " If they are suspected of being "traitors" and occupy more territory, it will trigger a chain reaction.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Jiandai Clan is only one province less than the Bilong Clan, its actual strength is far behind.

In the usual battles, several warlords adjacent to the Bilong Clan had to rely on their joint ability to compete with the Bilong Clan on a par and exchange courtesy with each other.

"Thank you, Brigadier Lin."

Gu Qingyu on the side cupped his hands and said.

Shen Guanye was not professional in military matters, but looking at Gu Qingyu's performance, Shen Guanye knew that Brigadier Lin's arrangement must have taken care of them.

So he also smiled and said:
"Thank you, Brigadier Lin."

"Normal arrangements, what can I thank you for?"

Brigadier Lin waved his hand and said with a smile.

The Hongdong camp rested for one night in Linjiang City. The next day, Shen Guanye led his people to the garrison location.

This place is a fortification built in the mountains, and a battalion is stationed here all year round.

Compared with the teams stationed in places like Hongdong Camp, which usually only suppress bandits and clear out wild heroes, the team stationed at the front line in front of them is obviously much more elite.

This eliteness is not only reflected in the combat experience and willpower of the soldiers, but also in the weapons and heroic equipment.

You must know that because of Gong Ziqiang, the heroic equipment of Hongdong Camp is much higher than that of ordinary battalions, but the heroic equipment of this battalion in front of me is actually better than that of Hongdong Camp.

However, the attitude of the battalion commander here is not as good as that of Brigadier Lin.

The battalion commander's name is Wang Long. He is very young, about 27 or eight years old. Compared to Gong Ziqiang, he is much younger. His strength is not weak. He should be a level 6 Apocalypse.

This is already a genius. You must know that Gong Ziqiang's apparent strength was only a level 6 Apocalypse, and the leader of the Hongshan bandits, Na Lu Junxiong, was also a level 6 Apocalypse.

But how old is Wang Lung?

How old are Gong Ziqiang and Lu Junxiong?
But the character of Battalion Commander Wang was probably a bit unruly and serious. I think Major General Yang showed a smile or two when he saw Shen Guanye.

But after Wang Lung chatted with him for a few words and found out that he knew nothing about military affairs, he treated him coldly without even the slightest cover-up.

On the contrary, I got along well with Gu Qingyu.

Shen Guanye was not angry at all. He was indeed a capable person. What's wrong with his temper?
He doesn't feel that his status is extraordinary now. Whenever others disrespect him or scorn him, he has to teach them a lesson.

how?

When you have a certain status, you feel that you are not a member of the people, and you can't bear even the slightest anger?
Shen Guanye was also happy and relaxed.

He is not the kind of leader who likes to point fingers. Professional people do professional things. Since he has no experience in leading troops to fight, he will leave full authority to Gu Qingyu.

For him, as long as "rewards and punishments are clearly defined and treatment is guaranteed," it will be enough.

After doing this, will the people below "only know the deputy battalion commander and not the chief battalion commander"?

This is impossible. In fact, the people below support him very much.

……

There is no war in Linjiang. At least for the time being, it seems that the Jiandai Clan has no intention of attacking Linjiang City.

The mountain moon was bright and clear, and Shen Guanye suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

He walked out of the room, flew up to a high place silently, and then saw a person practicing boxing on the hillside in the distance.

　Thank you God for making me cry, 20170813190546289, I am Li Jiayu, 202206231949444333, a ray of light at dawn, 20220612225656367, wild civet cat’s monthly ticket~
