After receiving the news from He Jung, since King You is planning to use the capital's defenders to conquer the southern border, shouldn't he send his troops to the west and sneak attack him?
Cut off his escape route, strangle King You at the same time, let him die, and go south with Zhao to destroy the eldest prince of You. The famous clan of You will be gone, and it's time for the artifact to change hands.
Zhuang Xun actively prepared for the Western Expedition. At the same time, he continued to exterminate three rebellious families and distributed the land to the soldiers.
After receiving the news that an army had entered the southern border to fight with Nie Xu, Zhuang Xun and others set out with the army and headed straight for Hengdu.
This time it was Zhuang Xun who was the coach, and Li Rusi was in charge of Jingting Three Roads. It seemed that only this female devil could guard the hearts of the three roads that were about to move and ensure that the rear was stable. The murders were all done by her, even though it was Zhuang Xun gave the order, and the family hated and feared him.
He Heng lived up to expectations and secured his position as the second man in the army to assist Zhuang Xun in planning. At the same time, he was also assisted by Siqin Mi. In this war, the desired method was to capture Hengdu and force King You to death. It is equivalent to dragging down King You's energy, making him ignore everything.
The early offensive went smoothly. After leaving Jingting Sandao, which was surrounded by mountains, it seemed that all the troops had been exhausted. Zhuang Xun marched straight in, occupying many counties and ensuring smooth supply of food and grass for the back road. It seemed as if Hengdu was captured at this moment.
The good news also keeps coming. The first is that Zhao Guo has captured three of the four routes in the western border, and only one is falteringly resisting.
The second is that the army led by King You was preparing for a decisive battle with Nie Xu. Nie Xu consolidated the city and prepared for war, so he planned to fight a protracted war with King You and fell into anxiety.
So Zhuang Xun naturally ordered the army to advance. After all, King You's army and others were all in the southern border. No one raised any objection to this decision.
"Capture Huancheng, Hengdu is right in front of you." At this time, the spies heard that King You Nie Jin was leading the army guarding Hengdu to attack Nie Xu.
So when they encountered the army's attack, Zhuang Xun and his group were confused. Aren't these armies all in the south? How could they teleport here? Zhuang Xun was extremely confused. The mobilization of the army was not just a game. Personnel and logistics cannot be flexible. How could there be an army waiting for them here?
There was no time to speak, it was a head-on confrontation between the elites. Since it was a plain, there was no ambush, but the sudden appearance still made Zhuang Xun panic. After fighting for a while, he was undefeated, leaving thousands of casualties. He could only retreat, set up camp and then make plans. .
Zhuang Xun felt that he had suffered a heavy loss. There were so many casualties and the intelligence was so unreliable. He had to prepare to clean up the intelligence. He had seriously misjudged. Although he did not lose and caused a rout, the soldiers lost were part of his own strength.
On the other side of the southern border, monsters are flying in the sky and swords are shining fiercely. It turns out that the troops that King You called Hengdu are actually monsters. Today's general attack is coming, and no one is pretending anymore.
It turned out that most of the troops brought to the south to conquer Nie Xu were monsters, so the defenders of Hengdu did not leave at all. They only found a place to lurk when they left, to see if Zhao Guo and Zhuang Xun would take advantage of the situation. It was a surprise for Zhuang Xun.
As if they had the protection of King You, the bird monsters rushed up to the tower and bit the soldiers guarding the city. The light of their swords scattered, tearing apart the bodies of the bird monsters.
The spiritual jade flying in the air was killing the demon clan. Her magical skills were invincible, and most of the demon clan were turned into sieves under the light of her sword.
Even so, the bird demons still rushed forward, rushing towards her like a tide, attacking her, and trying to break her into pieces, because this was an obstacle for the demon clan to enter the city.
Lingyu Weiran was not afraid, Cui moved the magic formula, the sword light in the sky was like a rainbow, one person faced thousands of enemies, and there was no trace of fear.
However, she focused on offense but not on defense. A bird's claw penetrated her heart silently, shattering it into pieces. The divine light disappeared from Lingyu's eyes, and then the girl was like a leaf in the wind. Scattered from the air.
"Lingyu!" was the mournful cry of the eldest prince Nie Xu, which greatly satisfied Nie Jin's desire for violence.
"Kill!" Nie Jin ordered with red eyes. A circle of monsters in the sky were like locusts, and they rushed toward the city in a black mass. The city failed in just a moment.
The common people in the city became prey for the monsters. The soldiers tried their best to resist, but how could humans defeat the monsters?
Wandering in the courtyard, he walked up to Nie Xu. Nie Jin was proud that he had won.
"Beast! I'll kill you alone!" He drew his sword and slashed at him. Nie Jin dodged lightly and kicked Nie Xu to the ground.
"Brother, you are really good at causing trouble. You ran away. Wouldn't it be better to stay away from home? Your little lover won't die either." With a grab, Lingyu's body was sucked over and hit Nie Xu heavily.
Nie Xu hugged Lingyu with a relaxed expression on his face. We cannot live together, but we can die together. He cursed with hatred and said: "Nie Jin, you will be punished, you bastard, you will not have a good life." result."
"What is retribution? There are too many people who have said this to me. They are just incompetent and furious. I just like to see you people who are incompetent and furious and can only curse me, haha."
Nie Jin happily taunted that the biggest threat to his throne was death. Naturally, he could show off to Nie Xu like a winner and taunt him.
"Will Zhao Guo, Cheng Guo, and Yu Guoguo let you continue to do this? If you want to die, your death will be a hundred times more miserable than mine." After being kicked by Nie Jin, blood rushed to his throat, and the corners of Nie Xu's mouth were full of blood. , looking ferocious and terrifying.
"Oh, I can obviously finish you off earlier, why do I have to take action now? Apart from fearing that you will escape, the more reason is to ask you to enter the urn. Zhuang Xun of Yu State should have attacked Huancheng, and I want to give him a surprise."
King You said sinisterly, already thinking about how Zhuang Xun and his gang were defeated. It must be a grand occasion of chasing death and chasing the north. I believe that the city guards will take care of Zhuang Xun and his gang.
Because he heard that Zhuang Xun's men were bandits, most of the army was made up of new recruits, and there were very few elites. Moreover, he also contacted the powerful to start a rebellion. He must let Zhuang Xun die in Youguo this time.
"I will take care of you, unite our forces, drive away the Zhao State, and then I can take care of the Cheng State with peace of mind. Don't worry, I will live for a long time, longer than any of you."
King You said proudly, and at the same time he did not forget to show his pride after the victory, as if he was waiting for the news of the destruction of Zhuang Xun's power.
"Unjust is doomed to destruction……"
"How could I have done anything unjust? Look at how I have done no injustice. What I did was the way to unify the world. It was righteousness. You are the ones who violated the righteousness. When I unify the world, your records in the history books will all be forgotten." You're a clown, you shouldn't resist the right man." Nie Jin never felt that he had done anything wrong.
Even if the monsters he commanded were slaughtering the people in the city, he didn't think it was a problem. After all, the city had followed Nie Xu in rebellion, so there was nothing to sympathize with.
Killing them all would shock other places and show them what would happen if they dared to rebel. Human blood and screams were something he had become accustomed to, and even felt comfortable with.
"This is a world with gods and demons. You are just a mortal, trying to fight for the dragon. Well, ugh... no, a bastard. You are just a bastard, but you actually want to be the emperor. It is really ridiculous that you are half-human. Half-demon..."
Verbal attack was Nie Xu's last attack. He had no other moves except that. He vaguely regretted why he had to escape from Zhao country and why he didn't escape when he heard about Nie Jin's arrival. It was clear that Lingyu and Nie Jin had fought before. , he didn't win, but he fantasized about being able to escape like last time, hoping that Li Pingyuan from the north would take action.
Instead of cherishing his life, he felt sorry for the Lingyu in his arms who never left him and helped him escape from the surveillance of Zhao State.
If there were a group of gods and Buddhas from the Zhao Kingdom to protect him, how could Nie Jin be so arrogant and cause such a tragedy? Lingyu would not be killed if he stayed in the Chengguo camp in the north.
"Haha, you regret it, you regret it. It was you who killed your woman. Haha, if you didn't resist, how could this woman die? Brother, you were the one who killed Lingyu." He obviously still had it in his hand. While drinking Lingyu's blood, Nie Jin was accusing Nie Xu of killing Lingyu.
"Obviously it was you who killed Lingyu, bastard! Bird bastard, it was you who killed Lingyu..." Nie Xu yelled in retort, and his spirit collapsed.
"You're crazy. You already know in your heart who the murderer is. I'll give you a break." Seeing Nie Xu's half-crazy look, Nie Jin was filled with joy. He transformed his hand into a bird's claw and stabbed Nie Xu's chest, crushing it to pieces. his heart.
He won, mentally and physically. Nie Jin laughed wildly. This feeling of complete conquest was so good.
Now in Youguo, no one is competing with him for the throne. The brothers who looked down on him before are all dead. He has never felt such a wonderful feeling and is intoxicated with it.
He probably forgot that when he was bullied by other brothers when he was a child, it was this eldest brother who stopped him. He just felt that this eldest brother had never looked down on him, and the reason why he stopped was because he lost his status by bullying him.
Thinking that Zhuang Xun's attack on Huancheng was blocked now, he was even more happy. He had regained the southern and eastern territories, and had dealt with a partial army of Zhao. Li Pingyuan in the north was not a worry.
If Zhuang Xun and others who took advantage of the situation could be captured alive, he would take care of them. This madman couldn't kill Li Pingyuan, so it would be nice if he could kill him to vent his anger.
But what he imagined of Zhuang Xun's rubbish army collapsing when encountering Hengdu's army did not happen.
The resulting outcome was also different. More importantly, the aristocratic family that had been behind Zhuang Xun rebelled, and Li Rusi, who was also born in the aristocratic family, suppressed the rebellion. The rebellion was huge, and Li Rusi had few soldiers, and then this gang The people were scattered by Li Rusi, and this is called a mob.
The ratio between the mobilized troops and the defenders held by Li Rushi was ten to one or fifteen to one. With an absolute advantage, Li Rushi led the soldiers to charge into the formation but fled.
On the contrary, after the separation, the three aristocratic families became difficult to manage and had to be sorted out one by one.
For Zhuang Xun, he already had the intention of retreating to stabilize the basic market, but he stagnated after encountering obstacles.
"My minister Feng Qingshan has an old relationship with the right general Li Zhurong, and he is willing to go and persuade him to surrender." The leader of the One-Eyed Dragon said that they had a strong impulse to destroy Youguo, and Zhuang Xun was hesitant to retreat. They could not bear this.
The idea of Zhuang Xun must be dispelled, so the one-eyed Feng Qingshan stepped forward. This may be his only chance in this life to complete his revenge.
"General Feng has this wish, so I'll leave it to you." Analyzing the rear, it's not very urgent. After all, Li Rushi must have left enough soldiers, at least enough to wait for rescue.
But what Zhuang Xun didn't expect was that Li Rushi did not stand firm but took the initiative to attack and killed Jingting Sandao. At this moment, he was also hesitating. He had thought about the rebellion of the Sandao family.
But he never thought about being blocked by a group of elite troops at the gate of Hengdu, so now he wants to go back and stick to his base. Since Feng Qingshan is willing to persuade him to surrender, he is willing to give him a chance.
So it was the turn of the right general Li Zhurong to hesitate and struggle. The country of You was in such a precarious state that it never saw the light of day, and King You was so rebellious and did not treat people as human beings. There were widespread complaints in the country, and the good reputation accumulated by the previous generation of King You had been ruined. Everything All resistance was suppressed by his sorcery, and the decline was visible to the naked eye in just four or five years.
Except for the proud King You, many people know that You Kingdom is on the road to completion. Only King You himself thinks that he is a peerless wise king and that he does everything right. There is also an evil queen who adds fuel to the flames and refuses to dissuade him.
This country of You is really going to end sooner or later, not today, but also tomorrow. Think about the colleagues in the court. Today they can joke and chat about interesting things, but tomorrow the whole family will disappear. This kind of environment will be created even if you are not sick. Sick.
But thinking about the fate of those who betrayed King You, he shuddered. Death seemed to be the simplest punishment, and it involved family members. All the rumors made people's hair stand on end.
"Let me think about it." Li Zhurong wanted to make a good decision. This was really about his life and fortune, and he wanted to surrender to Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun didn't seem to be as reliable as Cheng Guo in the north or Zhao Guo in the west. He didn't think highly of it. Go to Zhuangxun, although Zhuangxun occupies the three eastern borders of Youguo.
"Do you think you still have a chance to choose? From the moment I enter the camp, Nie Jin will know that I have been here sooner or later. Even if you win the battle, given Nie Jin's character, what will he do to you if he knows that I have been here?" Feng Qingshan's eyes flashed coldly and he said
"You framed me?" Li Zhurong shuddered, and then thought about it following Feng Qingshan's words. Speaking of winning the battle, he seemed to be guilty of not killing Zhuang Xun as planned.
Now he is suspected of colluding with the enemy. Even if Zhuang Xun is eliminated later, with King You's temperament, he knows best what will happen to those who can't handle things well and those who collude with the enemy.
"Okay, I'll make preparations. You go back and tell Duke Xia that I surrender." Li Zhurong immediately announced his decision.
Just when he was sending Feng Qingshan away, he was preparing to summon his generals and prepare to surrender when the time was right.
"Where's the forward Si Qin Yingming?" When he arrived, he counted the number of people incorrectly.
"Report," he told the soldiers guarding the city gate. He rode away on horseback because of an urgent military situation." Sergeant Liang Jiu came to report.
"not good!"
