The demon world I designed

Chapter 231 The Plan in the Corner!

"How is it? Is there any news from the front line?"

The location of Nanming Mansion is in a small remote county near the corner of the western mountain. A big man rubbed his bloodshot eyes and asked directly as soon as he entered the hall of the county mansion.

There were quite a lot of people in the hall of the government office, besides a few adjutants in armor, there were also a few literati in long gowns, and the leader was the chief minister of Jiangnan.

And the big man who just started is now the highest military officer in name here: General Zhou Hanyang.

Oh, it should be said that it was the highest military officer a few days ago, because a heavyweight came here a few days ago.

"My lord, you also got up so early?" Zhou Hanyang originally had a trace of hostility on his face, but after seeing that person, he immediately put away his anger and became extremely respectful.

"You haven't slept all night?" A middle-aged man next to the case raised his head and looked at the big man with a gentle expression: "It's not good for you to stay up like this. Xishui County is located in a remote place and food is scarce. You are now the soldier's The backbone, you have to preserve your strength and be in good condition!"

"It's because the subordinate didn't think carefully." Zhou Hanyang saluted respectfully, and then sat down beside the middle-aged man.

He didn't want to stay up all night without rest, he really couldn't sleep.

When the living corpses attacked the city, a group of soldiers directly abandoned the people in the city, retreated from the west gate, and retreated all the way to Xishui County, a remote county, like a lost dog.

Xishui County has a small population. Although the entire city was infected, it was nothing to the retreating Black Dragon Guard elite. They quickly cleaned up all the living corpses in the county, and even recovered the surrounding countryside. gain a foothold.

But he didn't dare to make more excessive moves, for fear of attracting the attention of those terrifying living corpses in the main city.

This year can be described as muddled. I was afraid of being found by those living corpses, and I didn't dare to send people to investigate the situation easily, because the scouts I sent a few times before failed to come back. In order not to expose the place, they finally didn't dare to easily. spy.

Just like this, he was trapped in this small county for a year, relying on the food stored in the county to survive.

If Lord Qin hadn't found them a few days ago, they don't know how long their muddled days will last.

It was great news that the Duke personally found them. Zhou Hanyang, who had been in a daze for a year that day, thought that the dawn was finally ushered in, but he didn't expect that it was even worse news!

The eldest princess rebelled and turned the court's 30 Golden Dragon Guards into living corpses. The Black Dragon Guards were almost wiped out!

It turned out that on the day when the siege broke out, the subordinates were not mistaken, the one who came over the river was really Jin Longwei.
According to Lord Qin's information, the person occupying the Nanming Mansion during this year is His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

The only good news is that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess did not massacre the people in the Nanming Mansion, which gave Zhou Hanyang a little comfort in his heart when he abandoned the people in the whole city.

At least Mu Hongqing's strategy was correct at the beginning. Their strategic retreat saved the entire city. Even though they were deserters, it also played a role.
But now, the eldest princess withdrew from the Nanming Mansion, and Chen Qing, the magistrate of Liuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, took over the Nanming Mansion.

This seemed to be good news at first, but Qin Guogong said that Chen Qing also betrayed the court! !
When I heard the news for the first time, including the chief envoy, I felt incredible. How could a magistrate and a literati have the guts to rebel?
You said that he took refuge in the eldest princess and thought about it, but he didn't, because in Qin Guogong's mouth, Chen Qing is now a powerful warlord with hundreds of thousands of troops, who can force the eldest princess Nanming Mansion retreats!

To be honest, if it wasn't for Lord Qin who brought these news, all of them might think that the person who said these words was a lunatic!

A magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River, relying on some militia recruited locally, separated the south of the Yangtze River, and forced the eldest princess away?

Isn't this telling a fairy tale?
But the latest news from the scouts is true
The terrifying living corpses that were originally stationed outside Nanming Mansion disappeared, replaced by a very regular army stationed outside Nanming Mansion!

"My lord." Zhou Hanyang couldn't help but asked shortly after he sat down: "Is there any new news from the front line? How long do we have to wait?"

According to the information brought by Qin Guogong, the imperial court sent troops to suppress Chen Qing's rebellion, led by the youngest Duke of Jin: Yu Chipeng!
After receiving the news, Zhou Hanyang was also a little bit excited, and planned to cooperate with the court to recover Nanming Mansion first, at least take back what was lost, and get rid of the grievances of this year.

But Qin Guogong's original words are: "Chen Qing is no small matter now, and we must be cautious when dispatching troops. If we are not careful, we will definitely be taken away in one pot. Today's Chen Qing is definitely no better than His Royal Highness the eldest princess who holds 30 Jinlongwei living corpses." Easy to deal with."

These words made Zhou Hanyang stand still for the past few days, but his heart was like a cat scratching.
"There is news." Lu Ming looked at the anxious Zhou Hanyang and sighed: "The Nanming Mansion dispatched troops to fight against the encirclement and suppression troops sent by the imperial court. According to the scouts' observation from a distance, there are about 3 people."

"3 people?" Zhou Hanyang was stunned: "Just send that?"

He heard that the Nanming Mansion now has more than 30 troops stationed there!

Including the newly relocated militia, the scale is almost one million.
Send out [-] to fight against the imperial court?
Look down on who is this?
"That's the truth." Lu Ming sighed: "So don't act rashly."

"Damn it!" Zhou Hanyang couldn't help but hammered the table.

Lu Ming also frowned slightly.

In the original plan, Chen Qing's newly stationed soldiers would deal with the imperial court in an all-round way, and they would raid Chen Qing's rear area when the war situation was tense, recapture Nanming Mansion, cut off the rear route of Chen Qing's army, and then cooperate with the imperial court to severely damage Chen Qing's stationed area. The main force of Nanming!
After taking down Nanming, guard the gate of Jiangnan like a nail, and ask the court to continue to support it. In this way, Qin Guogong will regain control of the situation in Jiangnan, and at least he can fight against Chen Qing and the eldest princess. At least he still has a chance to plan the Dragon Palace inherited!

But he also didn't expect that, facing the imperial army, Yu Chipeng led the team, and Chen Qing only dispatched that few soldiers?
Do you really not take the court seriously?
"Then shall we just watch like this?" Zhou Hanyang was extremely anxious.

He is eager to take the initiative now. This year has been too suffocating, and the food supply in Xishui County has been alarmed. After all, how can a group of bloodline children survive with the food in a county?

Without good meat, the spirits of the soldiers shrank, and they lost a lot of weight this year. Not to mention the soldiers, even himself, this year's condition was also extremely bad. Long-term lack of nutrition was very serious for the children of blood. It's terrible, this will lead to an increase in the load on the body, and the blood of the demon can't be controlled. In this year, he has personally executed dozens of soldiers who have been demonized.

But a few days ago, in order to prepare for the war and to give the soldiers sufficient physical strength, he ignored the wailing of the villagers who were farming in the countryside, forcibly confiscated the cattle and killed them to replenish the soldiers' strength.

Hundreds of farm cattle in Xishui County were killed, and the soldiers were given a hard meal. The soldiers' spirits and spirits have obviously improved a lot in the past two days, but Zhou Hanyang knows that this is only short-lived. Taking it back to Nanming Mansion, Xishui County, which has been delayed in farming, can't afford to support them at all.

After half a year at most, my group of soldiers will become demonic beasts, even myself. Maybe they will be demonized in the future
"I can only watch." Lu Ming calmly said: "The more you can't move lightly at this time, we only have one chance, we must hit it with one blow, now we can only wait for the court to open the situation first, otherwise we will not have the slightest chance .”

Zhou Hanyang nodded helplessly. Although he was anxious, he also knew that the current situation could only be like this.

Lu Ming nodded, and then looked at the political envoy not far away: "Master Chief Executive, how much food is left in Xishui County?"

"My lord," the chief envoy hurriedly said, "There are still [-] shi of grain left in the granary, which is enough for the time being."

"It's only for the time being." Lu Ming nodded. If you are raising the ordinary civilians in Xishui County, you can feed them porridge and even survive the winter, but if you are raising the tens of thousands of blood children in the county, there is only one at most. For a month, it is better to save money on food and expenses. During the preparation period, bloodline soldiers are the most hungry. If they are raised according to the state of preparation for war, it may only take half a month.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming looked at a figure not far away, who had been sitting silently: "We need information."

The figure slowly raised its head and looked at Lu Ming with cold eyes: "Mr. Qin doesn't ask the scouts for information, but me? Where do I get the information from?"

It was Xuezheng Mu Hongqing who spoke.

"You can get information." Lu Ming smiled and said: "You should feel it, your proud disciple has also come to Nanming Mansion, she is now... the celebrity beside Chen Qing!"

Mu Hongqing: "."
