Chapter 778 Good fortune is coming!
"Exchange successful, do you want to summon immediately?"
"Yes!"
Ning Fan nodded without hesitation. Now, except for Dian Wei, all the generals of the Three Kingdoms followed Huo Qubing to the northern border, and the generals around him were a little stretched.
The top generals were too expensive, and there was no urgent need.
A golden light curtain appeared in his mind, and Ning Fan's eyes were shining, gradually becoming deeper, with a faint golden light, turning into a burly figure.
"Step!"
"Step!"
The heavy footsteps sounded, and Ning Fan's face also showed a hint of expectation. He saw that the burly figure gradually solidified, with broad arms, steady steps, and a big axe in his hand.
"I, Cheng Yaojin, pay my respects to you, my lord."
"Haha, I didn't expect it to be General Cheng. It's just the right time for you to come and join me."
Ning Fan looked at Cheng Yaojin and the Bagua Xuanhua Axe in his hand, and instantly understood that this was Cheng Zhijie from the novel version. In the original work, he was taught the 36 Tiangang Axes by an immortal in a dream, but unfortunately he only learned three axes.
"Zhijie, you came at the right time. I am just about to expand my territory. If you enter the world at this time, the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army will be settled."
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Yaojin also smiled heartily, looked at Ning Fan and said, "My lord, Shubao is now famous all over the world, and I am just a rookie."
"Fortunately, Yuchi Laohei has not entered the world yet, otherwise, how can I raise my head in front of a group of old brothers!"
Ning Fan smiled and silently checked the attribute page of the novel version of Cheng Yaojin. The four-dimensional attributes are all standard, and the force value barely reaches 100 points, while the special attributes are much more interesting.
[Lucky General]: Turn danger into fortune, turn disaster into blessing. When following the master, he can turn danger into safety and enhance the luck of the force he belongs to!
Although the [Lucky General] attribute does not have a substantial four-dimensional enhancement, this simple sentence makes Ning Fan excited.
Enhance luck!
Nowadays, the acquisition of [Luck Value] is all about conquering cities, or achieving certain achievements, winning foreign wars, etc.
And Cheng Yaojin's attribute directly blesses the luck of the force he belongs to. If you look at the overall situation, it is more meaningful than a peak general!
"System, continue to summon."
"Summoning, please wait!"
...
Dali.
Liyang City
This strategic location in the northern border of Dali fell into Dayan's hands after several twists and turns. A few months ago, Ning Fan had used a trick here to "replace the prince with a cat", not only earning Chen Ding's more than 200,000 troops, but also Madam Xue...
Let's get back to the point. After Gu Ru went south this time, he did not go to the front line in person, but led the way as a pioneer. He sat in the rear and took a general view of the overall situation. It can be said that he was extremely cautious in using troops.
Layer by layer, slowly plotting, and nibbling away step by step.
General's Mansion.
Gu Ru stood in the center of the lobby, looking at an exquisite sand table in front of him. This has been his habit for many years. Every time he plots a place, he must summon craftsmen, generals and local merchants to make a sand table.
"My Lord!"
"Lord Qi is visiting."
"Please come in!"
Gu Ru's face became solemn, and he looked at the oncoming figure, and gradually smiled.
"Greetings, Lord!"
"Girl Qi, why did you come here in person?"
"Dayu's reinforcements have arrived at the Li River. The 300,000-strong army has taken over the southern border defense."
"Dayu... finally intervened."
There was some worry in Guru's eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Dayu and Dali have always been allies, and now that Dali is in danger of extinction, Dayu will never sit idly by, which is within my expectations."
"Lord, the man who led Dayu's army this time is named Li Jing."
"We Yanlongwei know very little about him, but a few months ago, this man led his army to Donghuai to fight against the Japanese slaves. According to the existing intelligence, he is quite a famous general!"
"Hmm!"
Guru nodded solemnly, looking at the sand table in front of him, and pondered for a long time, "Since the battle three months ago, Dali has redeployed its defenses in the north. As far as I know, the Dali court is now supervised by Liu Ji, whose talent and strategy are not inferior to that of the Prime Minister of our dynasty. "
"In just three months, Dali has not only stabilized amidst the turmoil, but its determination in border defense has also impressed me!"
"Not only that, newcomers such as Zhang Han and Tang He have been able to gain the trust and full support of the Dali court. We were able to recapture the northern Li area with great momentum because the defense focus of Dali is not here."
"It may not be so easy to cross the Li River and continue to move south."
The ancient scholar sighed with regret. Although the Nanyan Army under his command is now in full swing, the Dali battlefield has the addition of Dayu's 300,000 troops, which directly changes the disadvantage of Dali's insufficient manpower. Coupled with the danger of the Li River and the determination of the court, the situation may be reversed.
"General Gu means..."
"Switch from offense to defense."
Gu Ru's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said solemnly: "Over the years, the troops of Dayan have reached the Li River more than once, but have never really occupied the northern border."
"Many times, they were counterattacked by the Li River, and even ended up in a tragic defeat."
"It is enough to prove that Dayan is strategically wrong. With the national strength of Dayan, if there is no Hu Nu to contain and no Dayu to interfere, it is not difficult to flatten the Li River in one fell swoop."
"But because of these variables, I, Da Yan, am a little unable to do what I want to do in one fell swoop. Especially after the front is stretched, logistical supplies and troop deployment are all under great pressure."
"After much thought, I can only change my strategy and plan it slowly. In three years or even five years, I will encroach step by step. After the northern Li area is completely integrated into our Da Yan, I can then plan for southern Li."
"We even deployed defenses along the north side of the Li River to prevent Da Li's counterattack."
Hearing the words of the guru, Qi Lanyue also showed a look of admiration on her face, and nodded slightly: "Master Hou is worthy of being praised by your majesty as the 'pillar of Dingguo'. If you act with such caution, Dali will overturn under my Da Yan's iron hoof." Down."
The guru shook his head, looked at Qi Lanyue and said, "Girl Qi, with your intelligence, you should be able to guess the pressure behind me!"
"Master Hou refers to...the imperial court?"
"good!"
"Now our Da Yan court, from His Majesty to the powerful men of the world, are all staring at me closely, and they all regard Da Li as their treasure. Even though I have a lot of patience, the court and your Majesty cannot afford to wait! "
"this……"
Qi Lanyue remained silent for a while. Although Da Yan suffered several defeats in Li territory, neither His Majesty the Emperor nor the civil and military officials had ever put Da Li in their eyes.
Now, Marquis Dingguo is planning to spend three to five years encroaching on Dali. How can the imperial court agree?
"Girl, I want you to go back to the capital for me."
"Go and see the Prime Minister."
After hearing what the guru said, Qi Lanyue's eyes also shone brightly, and she said with admiration: "Master Hou, are you going to ask the Prime Minister to come forward?"
"good!"
"Now, the only one who can persuade His Majesty and control the court is the Prime Minister."
"Lanyue is willing to go."
"Um!"
The ancient scholar nodded with satisfaction, but then he heard the sound of footsteps and a voice from outside the hall: "Master Marquis, we have come from the north to report that Dayu sent troops to Dongyan City, the entire army of the guard and Rong army was wiped out, and the Marquis of Rong City died for his country!"
"What!"
The guru almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the hall. He said with a shocked look on his face: "The entire guard army was wiped out?"
"yes!"
"hiss!"
The guru took a long breath and didn't speak for a long time.
Qi Lanyue on the side also looked horrified and said in surprise: "How could the entire army be wiped out? Two hundred thousand guards were guarding Dongyan City. Even if Dayu sent out five hundred thousand troops, it would take less than ten days and a half. It is impossible to knock on the gate of Dongyan City."
"Besides, even if Yu's army comes in force, the Marquis of Rongcheng will still have enough time to ask the court for help."
"How could the entire army be wiped out suddenly?"
The guru sighed sadly: "Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
"Call the generals to discuss matters."
"As you command!"
"Girl, I need information about Dayu. The more detailed the better."
"Um!"
Qi Lanyue nodded heavily: "I haven't received any news from the North yet. If there is any information, I will send it to the Marquis as soon as possible."
"good!"
Not long after, figures gathered in the lobby one after another. The generals under Gu Ru also received the news, and there was an uproar in the lobby.
"See you Lord Marquis!"
"No gift!"
The ancient scholar looked solemn, the sand table in the hall had been carried out, and the generals and staff of the Nanyan Army were lined up on both sides, all with solemn expressions.
"Everyone, I believe you all already know about the changes in the northern border and the fall of Dongyan City."
"The entire Guard army was wiped out."
"Even the Marquis of Rongcheng..."
The ancient scholar looked at the generals with some disappointment and said in a deep voice: "The fall of Dongyan City means that our food and grass supply may be cut off at any time, and our backs may be raided by Dayu's cavalry at any time."
"Pass my order to immediately set up defenses in the north of the Li River to guard against counterattacks from the Li River."
"Deploy 100,000 troops to go north immediately to protect our army's food and grass supply line and set up defenses in the rear of our army."
"promise!"
"Chen Qian, you lead an army of 200,000 and advance toward Dongyan City."
"promise!"
After the generals left, the ancient scholar had a bit of confusion in his eyes and murmured: "Dayu!"
"Is it a moth that flies into a flame, or a dragon that flies out to sea?"
"Has the world really changed?"
…
Time flew by and it was three days.
The spies came to report that Yan's army had arrived in the east, and it was only one day away from Dongyan City.
In the main hall.
Ning Fan sat at the top, and Bai Qi sat beside him.
"Everyone, the Yan army has already attacked. This is a head-on confrontation between Dayu and Dayan. In this battle, we must win but not lose!"
"Everyone in the world says that Dayan's army is unstoppable, but I, the son of Dayu, am not weaker than others."
"come!"
Ning Fan shouted softly to the outside of the hall, and saw two burly figures walking into the hall together. Qin Qiong looked stunned, looked at the burly man, and said in a voiceless voice: "Know your integrity!"
