The demon world I designed

"How's it going? Is there any news from the front line?"

Nanming Mansion is located in a remote small county in the corner of Xishan Mountain. A big man rubbed his bloodshot eyes and asked directly as soon as he entered the county hall.

There were many people in the government hall. In addition to a few armored adjutants, there were also several literati wearing long gowns. The leader was none other than the Chief Envoy of Jiangnan.

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

Oh, I should say it was the top military commander a few days ago, because a heavyweight came here a few days ago.

"My lord, are you up so early?" Zhou Hanyang originally had a hint of venom on his face, but after seeing the man, he immediately put away his anger and became extremely respectful.

"You haven't slept all night again?" A middle-aged man next to the desk raised his head and looked at the big man with a gentle face: "It's not good for you to stay up like this. Xishui County is located in a remote area and food is in short supply. You are now a member of the soldiers. The backbone, you have to conserve your strength and be in good condition!”

"This subordinate didn't think carefully." Zhou Hanyang bowed respectfully and then sat next to the middle-aged man.

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

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

Xishui County has a small population. Although the whole city was infected, it was nothing to the Black Dragon Guard elites who retreated. They quickly cleared away all the living corpses in the county and even recovered the surrounding countryside. They barely had any gain a foothold.

But he didn't dare to make any more extreme moves, for fear of attracting the attention of the terrifying zombies in the main city.

It can be said that this year was spent in confusion. They were afraid of being found by those living corpses, but they did not dare to easily send people to investigate the situation, because the scouts sent several times before failed to come back. In order not to expose the place, they finally did not dare to easily go back. spy.

I was trapped in this small county town for a year, surviving on the food stored in the county town.

If Lord Qin Guogong hadn't found them a few days ago, they would have lived in confusion for who knows how long.

The Duke personally found them, which was originally great news. On that day, Zhou Hanyang, who had been confused for a year, thought that the dawn was finally coming, but he did not expect that what he received was even worse news!

The eldest princess rebelled and turned the court's 300,000 Golden Dragon Guards into living corpses. The Black Dragon Guards were almost completely wiped out!

It turned out that on the day of the breakout, the men under his command were not mistaken. The people coming over the river were really the Golden Dragon Guards.

According to the intelligence of Duke Qin, the person who occupied Nanming Mansion during this year was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

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

At least Mu Hongqing's plan was right at the beginning. Their strategic retreat saved the entire city. Although they were deserters, it also played some role.

But now, the eldest princess has withdrawn from the Nanming Mansion, and the person taking over the Nanming Mansion is Chen Qing, the prefect of Liuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

This seemed to be good news at first, but Duke Qin said that Chen Qing had also betrayed the court! !

When they heard the news for the first time, including the chief envoy, they all found it incredible. How could a prefect and a scholar have the courage to rebel?

You said that he wanted to take refuge with the eldest princess, but he didn't, because in the mouth of Qin Guogong, Chen Qing is now a powerful warlord with hundreds of thousands of troops, who can force the eldest princess to surrender. Nanming Mansion retreats!

To be honest, if it hadn't been the Duke of Qin who brought this news, all of them might have thought that the person who said these words was a lunatic!

A Jiangnan prefect, relying on some locally recruited militiamen, separatist rule in Jiangnan, and even forced the eldest princess away?

Isn’t this telling a fairy tale?

But the recent news from the scouts is indeed the case

The terrifying living corpses originally stationed outside Nanming Mansion have disappeared, replaced by a very regular army stationed outside Nanming Mansion!

"Your Excellency." Zhou Hanyang couldn't help but ask not long 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 the Duke of Qin, the imperial court sent troops to exterminate Chen Qing's rebellion. The leader of the team was the youngest Duke of the Jin Dynasty: Yuchi Peng!

After receiving the news, Zhou Hanyang was also a little excited, and planned to cooperate with the court to regain Nanming Mansion first, at least to get back what he had lost and get rid of the grievances of this year.

But the original words of Qin Guogong were: "Chen Qing is no small matter now. We must be cautious when sending troops and cooperating. If we are not careful, we will definitely be taken away. Today's Chen Qing is definitely no better than Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess who holds 300,000 living corpses of the Golden Dragon Guards." Easier to deal with.”

These words made Zhou Hanyang stand still for the past few days, but his heart was like a cat scratching his head.

"There is news." Lu Ming looked at the anxious Zhou Hanyang and sighed: "The Nanming Mansion has dispatched troops to fight the encirclement and suppression troops sent by the imperial court. According to the scouts observing from a distance, there are about 30,000 people."

"Thirty thousand people?" Zhou Hanyang was stunned: "Just send that few?"

He had heard that there were more than 300,000 troops stationed in Nanming Mansion!

Including the newly arrived militiamen, there are almost one million in number.

Send out 30,000 people to fight against the imperial court?

Who are you looking down on?

"That's the truth." Lu Ming sighed: "So we can't act rashly."

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

Lu Ming also frowned slightly.

The original plan was for Chen Qing's newly stationed soldiers to fully respond to the imperial court. However, when the war situation was tense, they raided Chen Qing's rear, recaptured Nanming Mansion, cut off Chen Qing's army's retreat, and then cooperated with the imperial court to severely damage Chen Qing's stationed army. The main force of Nanming!

After taking over Nanming, he guarded Jiangnan like a nail and asked the court for continued support. In this way, Qin Guogong would regain control of the situation in Jiangnan and at least be able to compete with Chen Qing, the eldest princess and others. At least, he would still have a chance to plan the Dragon Palace. inherited!

But he also didn't expect that when facing the imperial army, led by Yuchi Peng, Chen Qing would only send out that few soldiers?

Do you really not take the court seriously?

"Then are we going to watch like this?" Zhou Hanyang was extremely anxious.

He is now eager to take some initiative. This year has been too frustrating, and the food supply in Xishui County has been warned. After all, how can a group of blood children be supported by the food reserves of a county?

Without good meat, the soldiers' spirits atrophied and they lost a lot of weight in this year. Not to mention the soldiers, even he himself was in extremely bad condition this year. Long-term lack of nutrition was very difficult for the blood children. Terrifyingly, this will cause the body to be overloaded and the demon bloodline to be uncontrollable. In this year, he has personally executed dozens of demonized soldiers.

A few days ago, in order to prepare for the war and to give the soldiers sufficient physical strength, he ignored the wails of the villagers farming in the countryside, forcibly captured the cattle and chopped them down to replenish the soldiers' physical strength.

Hundreds of cattle were killed in Xishui County, which gave the soldiers a hard meal. The soldiers' energy and spirit have obviously improved a lot in the past two days, but Zhou Hanyang knew that this was only short-lived. If he couldn't do it as soon as possible, Taking Nanming Mansion back, Xishui County, which had been delayed in farming, could not afford to support them.

In half a year at most, this group of soldiers will turn into monsters, and maybe even I will be demonized in the future.

"We can only watch," Lu Ming said calmly: "The more it is at this time, the less likely we are to move lightly. We only have one chance, so we must hit it with one strike. Now we can only wait for the court to open up 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 Chief Envoy not far away: "Mr. Chief Envoy, how much food is left in Xishui County now?"

"Your Excellency," the chief envoy said quickly: "There are still 20,000 shi of food in the granary, which is enough for the time being."

"It's only temporary." Lu Ming nodded. If he were to feed the ordinary civilians in Xishui County now with porridge, he could even last until the winter. But if he were to raise the tens of thousands of blood children in the county, there would only be one at most. Months of time, it is better to live frugally. During the preparation for war, blood soldiers are most hungry. If they are raised according to the state of preparation for war, I am afraid it will only take half a month.

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

The figure slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Ming, his eyes cold and cold: "Qin Guogong needs information instead of asking the scouts, but asking me? Where did I get the information?"

The speaker was none other than Xuezheng Mu Hongqing.

"You can obtain information." Lu Ming smiled and said, "You should have felt it. Your proud disciple has also come to Nanming Mansion. She is now a celebrity around Chen Qing!"

Mu Hongqing: "."
