Life Winner Training Guide

Since the allied forces passed Feiyuan Pass, the armies of Nan Zhou and Da Qi were completely separated.

Daqi will go straight to Pingcheng. You Hongyin guessed that their purpose is to go to Pingcheng, cross Baiyang Road, and cross the Tujiang River. Go all the way westward and attack the Golden Palace, the capital of the Western Vatican Kingdom.

Even if Zhou Yongsi was inflated, he would not really compete with Daqi's Xiahou Lie. He chose another route with great awareness of current affairs, attacking Dachang City in the east, via Wangyun Mountain, and after besieging Wangyun City, he passed through Xianze Lake, and then occupy Qingchengtai, one of the Golden Palace Acropolis, victory is in sight, and the general trend has been achieved.As for the small towns and counties along the way, they are no longer in the eyes of Prince Rui.

You Hongyin was noncommittal about this.

Those who always treat others as idiots are really fools, and those who always treat others as idiots are really weak.Even if Xifan's national power is not strong, it is one of the big countries that has dominated the world for so long.

He has recently obtained more and more comprehensive information, unlike at the beginning, where he had to rely on memory and a single sentence in other people's words to guess, but now, he has a very clear analysis of the general trend of the world.

Nanzhou's attack on Xifan this time was already an irreversible mistake, so if he didn't want to face a neighbor who was unparalleled in the future and would not give anyone a way to survive, he couldn't continue to make mistakes.

Of course, this can't go wrong is not to guide Zhou's withdrawal of troops. It's too late to say this now, but it needs that in this war of annihilation, Nan Zhou can also get the same benefits as Da Qi, and can also strengthen his own national strength.

Zhou Yongsi can't.

You Hongyin judged that this person was not completely incompetent, but he was not capable enough in this kind of action of hunting with tigers and sharing the spoils together.

Then how to transfer the truly capable Zhou Shide over?

After You Hongyin thought about it, he left his tent. Uncle Zheng was on duty outside. Seeing this, he asked, "Brother Yun, no, Mr. Yan, where are you going so late?"

You Hongyin said: "Uncle Zheng, go to bed first, I just have something to discuss with Master Li."

"Okay, then you should be careful at night." Uncle Zheng is the oldest and most experienced member of You Hongyin's personal army. He pays great attention to You Hongyin's safety on weekdays. Without a wife or children, she somewhat empathized and took care of Yan Xingyun as her junior.

"Ah."

When he came to Li Rui's tent, he still didn't rest, he had just returned from Zhou Yongsi's place.

"It's Feihong," Li Rui said, "I'm here so late, what's the matter?"

You Hongyin said with a smile: "There are some questions in the military formation, and I want to talk to the general at night by candlelight."

"Naturally welcome. Hey, I'm not young anymore, and I don't know how many years I can last on the battlefield. You are young and promising, work harder." Li Rui said with emotion, as if training You Hongyin to be his successor. people mean.

He did have the intention of cultivating You Hongyin, but the successor is another story, he is not that old yet.

Of course, You Hongyin couldn't take it seriously, he just listened to it as a polite remark.

The candles in Li Rui's big tent stayed on overnight.

At the dawn of the next day, Li Rui sent You Hongyin out of the camp, and said with a complicated expression: "Feihong is unparalleled in intelligence and skill, it seems that my initial thought was not wrong."

"My lord's praise." You Hongyin saluted, turned and left and said, "I'm just doing my best for my country."

Soon, Li Rui finished writing two letters, which were expedited at eight hundred miles, one went straight to Bianliang, and the other went straight to Jingzhou.Bianliang was the capital of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, while Jingzhou was the fiefdom of Prince Duan, and it was also the border between the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Daqi territory.

Daqi and the Southern Zhou Dynasty are now ruled by the river, and Jingzhou is the most important military town along the river, and the main road of transportation. The Ruizi Army has been stationed here for nearly 20 years.

The army of the Southern Zhou Dynasty slowly set off from Flying Ape Pass to Dachang City.

There are not as many cavalry as in the Daqi army, and the marching speed is very fast. Most of the Southern Zhou army is infantry, and most of them use square formations during battles. Each square formation is equipped with different numbers of spearmen, halberd soldiers, and shield soldiers. , Archers, etc., through steady and slow progress, the enemy will be completely shredded and wiped out.Therefore, the marching speed of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was relatively slow, and Zhou Yongsi, as the commander, always felt restless, and walked even slower in recent days.

"Report!" The messenger threw away the frothing horse that was running away, and ran up to Zhou Yongsi.

Zhou Yongsi is drinking in the carriage at the moment, he is not too young, if he does not drink some wine to fall asleep, he will be very tired in the carriage.

"What's the matter?" Hearing a voice at this moment, he signaled the guard to open the curtain of the carriage and said, "What are you doing in a hurry."

But after he received the urgent letter from eight hundred miles away, he sat down on the luxurious and comfortable seat in the carriage.

"Impossible, impossible!" Zhou Yongsi was greatly stimulated, and tore up the letter: "How is it possible! I want to go back to Bianliang, I want to go back to Bianliang! Luner, my Luner!"

You Hongyin was riding on the horse, listening to the cries in the distance, he said expressionlessly: "Today the general must have no intention of going on the road again, everyone is looking for a place to set up camp."

"promise."

Yes, Zhou Jilun died, fell into his own pond and drowned.It is said that he was drinking with friends at night, got drunk, and died.But how is this possible?It's no wonder Zhou Yongsi wants to go back.

With the help of Li Rui's staff in Kyoto, You Hongyin arranged for a few people to enter Bianliang, but did not do much else.But who are these people?They are the survivors of Yingcheng. Although Yingcheng is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the people in the city seem to have no will to resist, but how many people drowned in the flood? !Ordinary short-term brainwashing cannot strip away hatred.

It was this kind of hateful person that You Hongyin secretly helped and sent into Bianliang, and he deliberately arranged for some guidance and help. As expected, before the army arrived in Dachang City, news of Zhou Jilun's death was urgently sent from eight hundred miles away.

"Yan Xingyun, pack up your mood and get ready to meet Prince Duan whom you miss more and more." You Hongyin said leisurely.

The matter of changing generals was delayed for nearly a month and a half. In the end, Prince Duan took three thousand sailors and one thousand cavalry directly on a warship, went upstream along the Yangtze River, and then went ashore for three days and three nights. Zhou destroyed the Vatican army.Of course, correspondingly, the border defense emperor sent another person to take over. It is impossible for the two large armies, with a total strength of more than 60, to be placed in Zhou Shide's hands.

But it doesn't matter. From You Hongyin's point of view, the Ruizi Army of the border guards is almost in Zhou Shide's pocket. As long as the arrangements are made properly, the Sanskrit Army combined with the Forbidden Army and the Xiangjun Army, I'm afraid it won't be the case. Zhou Shide's is also Zhou Shide's.

With military power in hand, other things are easy to discuss.

"Then, let me meet this one first, everyone is full of praise, worship the unparalleled Southern Zhou army god." You Hongyin's mood that was disturbed by those disgusting things before suddenly calmed down, and he began to be very interested. increase.

"You won't be disappointed." Yan Xingyun woke up, just heard this soliloquy, and said very firmly.

"hope so."

Zhou Shide and Xia Houlie are probably a few years younger than Xia Houlie, and they are also in their forties, and they are approaching the fifties, but they seem to be much younger than Xiahoulie.Although he has fought all the year round, he has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and has been well maintained since then. Zhou Shide looks weather-beaten and still does not look old, and he is not as burly and rude as ordinary warriors.What is eye-catching is his pair of eyes, the Danfeng eyes unique to the Southern Zhou royal family, but there is no trace of weakness and chaos, only the sharp and weather-beaten wisdom that never bends.

You Hongyin raised his brows, and sighed in admiration. He hadn't seen such an outstanding person for a long time: "Well, this time, he will probably be more willing to do the work. I just hope that besides his outstanding ability, he won't be too arrogant. Big character flaw."

You Hongyin is ready to support an emperor again, although the lord he chooses is a bit old, even though he is not a former counselor.

Now the emperor dismounted from the horse to protect Zhou Shide's life and help him protect the precarious Southern Zhou Dynasty. When all these conditions are added up, there are not many options left for You Hongyin to choose. It is best to assist Zhou Shide to ascend to the throne. choose.

What?Zhou Shide has no ambition, is dedicated to the country, and is loyal?Don't worry, even if you are not ambitious, You Hongyin will be trained by him.What's more, only Zhou Shide himself knows best whether there is any in this world, and what other people say doesn't count.

When Zhou Shide first arrived, he took over the general affairs, reassigned the low-level generals and military officers to clear responsibilities, and at the same time confiscated some incompetent civilian military officers who were really just here to get credit, and promoted many truly capable ones. come up.

Faced with such a large-scale mobilization, Eunuch Wu, the supervising army, did not dare to utter a word.This Eunuch Wu is a big celebrity around the emperor, and also a royal enshrined. He learned the unique martial arts handed down from the inner palace through the ages, so he has the ability and courage to go to the battlefield as an army supervisor.He and Zhou Shide did not deal with each other once or twice. Even when Zhou Shide was young, Eunuch Wu, who was an ordinary eunuch at that time, served for a short period of time.Of course, he is not on Zhou Shide's side, he just understands that Zhou Shide is a relatively easy-to-talk royal nobleman on weekdays, but when he handles military affairs, he is an unselfish King Yama who does not talk about any personal affairs and will not relax his demands. , Sometimes you can turn your back on you and cut you off.

The supervising army sent by the emperor knew about these things, and they were very tacit and never said a word outside. Hello, me, hello, everyone, I will not interfere with your military operations, and don't make it difficult for me to do this. manner.

After hearing the report from the little eunuch next to him, Eunuch Wu hammered his leg: "I'm getting old too, Xiao Wu, give me a hammer."

The little eunuch was anxious: "Eunuch, why don't you go and have a look?"

Eunuch Wu nodded his head: "Today, Eunuch taught you a good boy. If you want to live longer in this world, you have to learn not to hear what you shouldn't hear, and to see what you shouldn't see, understand?"

Seeing the young eunuch's face full of thoughts and not quite understanding, Eunuch Wu picked up a cup of tea and said, "Just cherish your blessings. When you fought against Daqi, where did you get the carriage on the battlefield, let alone the tea leaves?" There's hot water."

He put down his teacup, and murmured: "I hope that Prince Duan can take over half of Xifan's land smoothly this time, so that I, a person living in the inner court, can enjoy a peaceful old age."

After Zhou Shide's military affairs meeting ended, he signaled his subordinates to disband and go back to rest, but he stopped You Hongyin: "Xingyun, please stay."

Under everyone's strange gazes, You Hongyin stood still, his aura not inferior to Zhou Shide in the slightest.

After the others had left, Zhou Shide signaled You Hongyin to come with him to the big tent, and after they sat down, he poured a cup of tea himself and said, "Although this is the first time we met, the name of Xingyun has long been my king's name." Like thunder."

You Hongyin took the tea calmly, and said with a smile, "My lord is admirable. The lord's ability to see everything in such a short period of time is truly worthy of Feihong's admiration."

"Flooding Yingcheng and surprise attack on Flying Ape Pass, these two battles originally took a lot of time and troops to completely capture, but they have become history in the pile of old papers while talking and laughing, you, you have enough capital to be proud, It must also be a famous general who has been passed down for thousands of generations in history." Zhou Shide smiled, and seemed to appreciate You Hongyin very much.

You Hongyin put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "My lord is pretending to be happy, but actually he is angry. Why?"

"What I don't understand is why you want to kill Lun'er! Why, the battlefield is not enough for you to display your talents, do you want to use your talents on the royal family?!" Zhou Shide slapped the table, with an angry face, and said in a dangerous voice: "You know, this one alone is enough for me to kill you right now."

"Why does the lord value Zhou Shizi so much?" You Hongyin didn't try to defend, but was a little surprised and puzzled. He tried to guess: "Because the lord has no offspring? The blood of the royal family is withered? No, that's not the reason. That's why, sorry It's hard for me to guess, so please ask the prince to explain my doubts."

"Aren't you justifying what you did?" Zhou Shide said.

"There is nothing to justify." You Hongyin played with the teacup on the table, "I am capable of completing the whole plan by myself, but I chose to go through the hands of Mr. Li Rui. The purpose is self-evident, naturally it is Let the prince know."

The anger on Zhou Shide's face gradually dissipated: "You are plotting against the master."

You Hongyin smiled: "Yes."

"So, you chose me? Helping the survivors of Yingcheng kill Lun'er, just so that I can lead this war." Zhou Shide seemed to have finally connected everything together: "Since you proposed flooding Yingcheng, you have It's being laid out." Zhou Shide squinted his eyes: "You don't look like a general in this way."

"Some people are born to think more about things in their hearts, and they always think a few steps more than others. Unfortunately, I am that kind of person. Master Li has also seen my leadership ability, and he is full of praise. Presumably my leadership ability is also Not bad, so how can you not be a military commander? Why don't you allow military commanders to be extra careful." You Hongyin said.

Zhou Shide sighed: "Although Lun'er is naturally dull, he is a rare temperament in the royal family."

You Hongyin raised his eyebrows, a little stunned: "So, smart people like this kind of thing, and the prince has no heirs, so naturally he has a preference for him."

"What's your purpose in bringing me to this battlefield in such a circuitous and complicated way?" Zhou Shide still couldn't figure out one thing: "If you have a talented man with both civil and military skills to assist the second brother, the second brother can also do very well." .”

You Hongyin said calmly: "Because, Nan Zhou is already in dire straits, and even if we do well, we will not be able to relieve Nan Zhou from the crisis of subjugation."

"how do I say this?"

"Even if I have enough means, it is still not enough to compete with Da Qi for the benefit of Da Qi in this battle to destroy the Brahma, and to strengthen Nan Zhou's own strength. The reason why the prince does not have a great sense of crisis is because you must have calculated it. As long as the Southern Zhou was not defeated in this war, it would not be considered a disadvantage if it won a small part of the territory, because the Southern Zhou and the Daqi "drew the river and ruled", and with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the Southern Zhou could be safe. But it didn't See, the situation of 'dividing the river and governing' as you expected is the biggest crisis." You Hongyin spread out the map: "It is true that the Yangtze River is a natural barrier between the two countries, but once Xifan is divided, Wei State will be Qi and Di are sandwiched in the middle, and with Da Qi's character, the next step is to destroy Wei. Di and Wei have been hostile for generations, and I am afraid they will help. In this way, Wei will be destroyed. After the land of Xifan Wei is connected, You Hongyin drew a rough range on the map, pointed to a route, and said, "Da Qi cavalry can bypass the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and attack Bianliang directly."

Zhou Shide was in a cold sweat!

This matter has never been thought of.

"Even if Daqi didn't find this method for a while, they will eventually find it. At that time, how many troops in the Southern Zhou Dynasty can fight Daqi head-on?" You Hongyin said.

"Then what should we do now? Strengthen the checkpoint layout on that route?" Zhou Shide asked.

"Small schemes and tricks will indeed make the battle more convenient, and can turn the tide of the battle, but it can't change the general trend." You Hongyin said: "No matter how many checkpoints are strong, just like Feiyuanguan, there will be a day when it will be broken. Nan Zhou couldn't show enough strength, and would eventually be annexed by Da Qi."

Seeing that Zhou Shide was stunned, You Hongyin began to release bait: "My lord, do you want to destroy your country and your family? Look at the group of silverfish in human skins in Bianliang, the precarious Nan Zhou can no longer bear them." It's a toss."

It took a long time before Zhou Shide came to his senses, and said with a wry smile, "It turns out that you, Feihong, also came to persuade me."

"It seems that I am not the only one in the world who has such a vision. Yes, I really hope that the prince can replace him and completely solve the current internal and external troubles in Southern Zhou Dynasty." You Hongyin said.

Zhou Shide was silent for a long time, then Fang said, "Let me think about it."

You Hongyin raised his brows. It seems that Zhou Shide has been persuaded more than once or twice about this aspect, and he has already been shaken. That saved himself: "Don't worry, my lord has a long time to think about it. Now let's talk about it." The problem at hand is solved."

"In your opinion, how should it be?"

"Swallowing Xifan is nothing. For us, the best result is to let Xia Houlie's 40 troops go and never return." You Hongyin said.

Zhou Shide inevitably had some doubts, Xia Houlie is not a fool, could it be that 40 people are standing there for you to chop?So he signaled You Hongyin to continue talking.

"Join hands with Xi Fan." You Hongyin said, "Xi Fan will eventually agree so that the country will not perish."

"After swallowing these 40 people, I'm afraid we will be left in Shu by Xi Fan." Zhou Shide was a little moved. He and Xia Houlie were old rivals. Not to mention the 40 troops, even if only Xia Houlie was killed , is also earned.

"Of course, Xi Fan can't let it go, otherwise, wouldn't it be a half-death to send troops this time." You Hongyin said, "I think another reason for the prince to replace the present is that he wants to destroy Xi Fan and Da Qi. 40 troops, we don’t have enough troops now.” He made the calculations: “So we need to mobilize at least 30 people for border defense.”

Now there is a general sent by the emperor at the frontier defense. If he is transferred without purpose, everyone will be alarmed. At that time, he will not be able to escape the charge of treason.

After Zhou Shide heard the plan, he was in a bad mood.

He was excited because he knew that if this plan was successful, he would not only be the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but even have the chance to become the lord of the world.He hesitated. As a child of the royal family, he has been loyal to the country for decades, and he is getting old, and he will not be guaranteed at the end of the year. Does he still have the ability and time to do follow-up things?He felt guilty, once the coup d'état started, blood would flow like a river. Is it really worth sacrificing so many people for a position?

"My lord, don't be in a hurry, you still have a lot of time to think about it." You Hongyin comforted him softly: "Just, please ask your lord to think about the Ruizi army who has followed you through life and death for many years, and think about all the comrades who have assisted you and worked hard for many years. Think of the countless people in the world who are living in chaos and fighting non-stop. It is time to end this chaotic world."

You Hongyin didn't want to push people too hard, he left room for Zhou Shide to think.

Waking up early, waiting to see Zhou Shide, Yan Xingyun said in a complex tone: "You are very strong."

You Hongyin said: "Hearing your praise, I feel a little complicated."

"Listen to Na Wuchang, I can't enter reincarnation because of lingering grievances, and you are responsible for eliminating my grievances."

"Yes," You Hongyin said, "Now are you willing to say, what are the sources of your resentment?" Although he confirmed that the death of Prince Duan in the previous life was the source of Yan Xingyun's resentment, he was not sure that it was the only source of resentment. one thing.Only the original owner himself knew the reason for the resentment.

"Besides what is related to the prince, killing Xia Houlie and replacing him with the emperor, there is one more thing." Yan Xingyun said, "Help me get rid of another person."

"who?"

Yan Xingyun's tone was erratic: "A woman, she is Da Qi's spy." He said a little sadly: "I rescued her from the refugees and placed her in Qingchengtai where the army was stationed at that time. When I left with the prince , and brought her by my side, and wanted to marry her." He paused, his anger rising a little: "In the end, when Xia Houlie intercepted me, she stabbed me hard in the back."

"what is her name?"

"At that time she said that her name was Qing Man, she had no surname, and she was an entertainer from the Golden Palace." Yan Xingyun also described the woman's appearance.

You Hongyin sighed: "This kind of spies are all capable of disguise, and their appearance and name are not accurate."

Yan Xingyun seemed to be aware of this situation, and said, "If you can't find it, forget it."

"What else can I do? I can only start with Daqi's spy system." You Hongyin said, "You don't have to worry about debts, take your time."

In the dead of night, when even Yan Xingyun was asleep in his body, You Hongyin looked at the starry sky outside the camp and gritted his teeth: "Bai Shun, you found a good target for me!"
