After receiving the order, the three kings hurriedly returned to their own territories. The four kings of the dynasty can directly command an army of 500,000. These 500,000 troops represent the highest combat effectiveness of the Qi Dynasty and are the strongest army.
As the four kings' fiefdoms were approaching, the armies under their respective command were not far from the fiefdoms, and the time was not long. In addition, the army of 500,000 people was not moving fast with food and grass, and there were strict guards from various prefectures and counties along the way, so soon the King of Peiping and others The human army overtook him.
Because of the need for a quick victory, the 1.5 million troops were lightly armed and carried no food and grass, so the speed was very fast. As for the supplies, they would be brought by the assisting Tianwei Army.
They are all the army of the dynasty. Some of the soldiers still don't know what's going on, and they don't understand why King Qicheng betrayed the dynasty. But they have been following King Qicheng for a long time, and they have already formed an integrated body, and their military orders are like mountains.
Long Yu led the army as quickly as possible. Before he could change into his battle uniform, he was just wearing an ordinary brocade embroidered dress.
But his generals are all well-equipped. Because the armies led by the four kings represent the foundation of the dynasty, they are undergoing rigorous training at all times and are always in combat mode. Once the order is given, they can immediately display their huge combat effectiveness.
In less than ten hours, a full two million troops were stationed around Yechen Mansion, and King Qicheng's army was also besieged.
Seeing that King Qicheng had been successfully surrounded, Long Yu felt a little calmer.
Sitting in front of the military tent, Long Yu was discussing countermeasures with his generals.
Hao Zhengxuan, who was responsible for inquiring about the military situation, said: "Your Majesty, less than three thousand meters ahead is where King Qicheng's army is stationed. Originally, they were gradually accelerating and even threw away some food and grass. After we caught up, they slowed down. Now He actually stationed himself in the territory of Yechen Mansion."
"I'm afraid I knew I couldn't run away, so I decided to recharge my batteries and rush out."
There were nine people sitting in front of Long Yu. These nine people were the leading generals in Long Yu's army. They each had their own duties and ensured all normal activities in the army. They assisted each other and formed a whole.
Li Cheng said: "Your Majesty has a clever plan. Our three armies caught up in time and finally blocked their way in Yechen Mansion. If they pass here, Ji'an Mansion will be in front of them. The terrain is long and narrow, and there are no rocks blocking the road. In addition, the road ahead is The prefectures and counties do not have enough troops to resist, and when the time comes, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and there will be endless troubles!"
Li Cheng is the chief general among the nine generals. His rank in the army is only lower than Long Yu's, and he can be regarded as a deputy. This compliment is watertight and silent.
Wang Xiao asked: "Master Long, what should we do now?"
The nine generals under Long Yu are also strange. Each of them has a different title for Long Yu, and their personalities are quite different. However, they cooperate very well in the army, which is very difficult.
At this time, the nine generals did not dare to say too much and only waited for Long Yu to issue orders. After all, the enemy was also King Qicheng, one of the four kings. Although his martial arts was not as good as Long Yu's, his ability to lead troops was extraordinary.
Long Yu glanced at Yechen Mansion in the distance, and a chilling aura filled the sky. I can't help but feel a little melancholy. They have been officials in the same palace for more than thirty years, and today they are enemies of life and death. Although the two of them don't have much contact, they have made great contributions to the establishment of the Qi Dynasty. Their basic understanding is still there. of.
On that day, the Three Lords and Four Questions wanted to accuse Long Yu of hiding the man in black. Apart from Chu Wen, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, only King Qicheng and King Nanli did not kneel down. Although they did not help themselves, they did not slander themselves either. He is a person with his own attitude and principles.
Who doesn't know the King of Peking? The entire Qi Dynasty and even the land of Kyushu are full of stories about the King of Peking. It seems that this powerful dynasty was not established by Liu Cheng.
Some people even don't know that Liu Chengnai is the current emperor, the most powerful emperor.
However, he praised the King of Peking greatly. Long Yu's reputation in the world was also not small. When he first entered the world, he was a chivalrous person and helped many people. With your words and my words, his reputation spread like this.
To be honest, in the court, Long Yu briefly asked whether King Qicheng's rebellion was true or whether someone was deliberately framed. However, the emperor said it categorically at the time and did not give him any chance to ask further questions.
It was not easy for Long Yu to argue with the emperor in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
But there is a question in my heart, does King Qicheng really want to rebel, or does he have another hidden agenda?
First of all, King Qicheng is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Did he rebel just to become the emperor? Why wait thirty years? Today is not a good opportunity in any case. Even if it is smuggling grain and grass, it is not a serious crime, let alone the four feudal kings who have such great power.
It's different if you openly lead an army to rebel. Not only will there be no way out, there will only be a dead end. It will even affect the nine tribes and make it difficult for relatives and friends.
King Qicheng must understand this truth, so why do he still do this and take such desperate risks?
To be honest, Long Yu didn’t believe that King Qicheng would rebel
"I'm going to ask if King Qicheng is really rebelling! Keep your defenses tight and don't let the enemy take advantage of him!"
"What? Are you going to ask King Qicheng? How?" The generals asked in shock.
"Tonight, when no one is prepared, I will go to the enemy camp and ask secretly!"
"This? If you make a mistake, we can't bear the responsibility!" Li Cheng said hurriedly.
Wang Xiao also didn't want Long Yu to step forward and take risks, so he stopped him and said, "Sir, in a battle between two armies, is it too childish to sneak into the enemy camp alone without any reason?"
Although he spoke calmly, there was some accusation in his tone.
Hao Zhengxuan said: "The commander-in-chief of the three armies went to the enemy camp lightly. Where will the dynasty, the emperor and the people be put?"
Seeing that everyone wanted to say more, Long Yu smiled and waved his hand and said: "I know everything you want to say, don't worry, I used to be a little taboo, but today there is nothing to be afraid of, they can't hurt me!"
"Can't be hurt? Has the master finally broken through the barrier?" Li Cheng asked carefully from the side.
The gesture also pointed to the sky.
Long Yu shook his head and said: "If you want to go further, you must have all your internal organs. I'm afraid this cannot be changed!"
His face also looked disappointed.
Wang Xiao asked: "Then why can't I hurt you? There is an army of half a million people on the opposite side!"
"I have made some progress in my martial arts recently. If others want to hurt me, they can't. I can't fight against an army of 500,000 people. There is still no problem in running away!"
"Is this...?"
Everyone wanted to say more, but Long Yu stopped them.
"This is the military order. You must guard the army strictly and do not spread the news that I am leaving. In addition, inform King Nanli and the new King Doulan to tell them not to take any action today!"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
Although reluctant, no one in the army dared to disobey Long Yu's orders.
The three armies were reorganized, but they did not attack immediately. This gave King Qicheng a chance to breathe. While rectifying military discipline to avoid being persuaded to surrender before the war started, he also made an evacuation plan.
King Qicheng was a gloomy man. He usually did not like to talk, and he was not very happy. He was somewhat similar to the current emperor Liu Cheng. However, the generals at all levels in the army respected him very much. With an order, everyone left their homes and careers and embarked on this unhappy journey. Return.
It can be seen how high the majesty of King Qicheng is, which is not something that can be achieved by power and mentality.
When Long Yu decided to visit the military camp at night, King Qicheng was also discussing evacuation matters with his cronies.
There are three generals sitting in front of King Qicheng. They are a little shabby compared to Long Yu's nine generals, but they are not weaker than them at all, because these three people have the same skill as King Qicheng, and they are all small master level figures. The relationship between King Qicheng is not like a superior and a subordinate, but more like a friend.
"We have no way out now, so why don't we fight them to the death? We won't let them have an easy time!"
Zhou De, who was at the bottom, said angrily, a rugged man with full beard, his hands clenched into fists and rubbing them constantly.
King Qicheng and Lu Zhijie, who were sitting above, did not speak. Qian Yu between them was like a bridge connecting the two sides of the road. At this time, he took over the topic.
"I'm afraid that's the case. It can't hurt him. Now that we are in this situation, it is his fault after all. If we fight to the death with them, maybe he will be happy!"
When he mentioned him, Zhou De's eyes became even more angry, but he didn't know how to refute Qian Yu, so he held back his temper that was about to explode.
Qian Yu looked at the two people above him and stopped talking. There was nothing he could do now.
Lu Zhijie is the largest general in King Qicheng's army. People call him King Jie in private. Even King Qicheng cannot object to many of the things he decides. He has great power in the army. King Qicheng rarely comes to fiefdoms. Most of them Everything is managed by Lu Zhijie.
At this time, Lu Zhijie looked at the enemy troops in the distance and lamented: "Hey, brother, what do you think our chances of defeating Long Yu are?"
King Qicheng shook his head and said: "Basically zero... no... it's just zero. This God-of-War figure is really irresistible!" Zhou De said unconvinced: "Brother, I don't believe he can be so powerful. Even if we risk our lives, we still have to take him away, so that we can both die together!"
"No!" King Qicheng hurriedly stopped Zhou De and said: "No, we cannot kill this person, and even if we are completely defeated, he is our last glimmer of hope! Even if he kills us!"
Zhou De was puzzled: "Why?"
Qian Yu stood up and suddenly said: "I understand, nothing can happen to Long Yu. The worst we can do is die. As long as he is still there, we don't know who will win or lose!"
Zhou De was ignorant and had no idea what the three brothers were talking about, but he firmly believed that the three brothers would not harm him.
Lu Zhijie said silently: "Long Yu can't move now. This is the last step. We only have three ways to go now!"
Zhou De finally caught the excitement and grabbed Lu Zhijie's arm and said, "Second brother, tell me what we are doing now. I will take the lead and charge into the battle for my eldest brother!"
This situation seemed to have happened too many times. Lu Zhijie did not shake Zhou De's hand away at all, and continued as if he could not see it: "The best way is for us to break out of the siege and reach Ji'an Prefecture. The road ahead is smooth, and the people of various prefectures and counties The troops are not high enough to stop us, and when we finally leave the imperial territory, I believe that no matter which country we are in, we will be welcomed!"
"only…………!"
