Lizhou, under the city.
Dou Changsheng was wearing armor, and a fiery red cape on his back, like blood, was fluttering in the wind.
Holding one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, he stood on the high platform that had been built. His expression was solemn and majestic, which could be called majestic.
Since returning to the ruins that night, Dou Changsheng has never thought of avoiding a fight, choosing a confrontation in a deep ditch and a high barrier. Instead, he wanted to fight quickly.
So he drove straight in and defeated several cities in a row.
They were invincible along the way and came directly to the city of Lizhou.
This journey was so smooth, naturally because of the help of the brothers. They did not go to Guanzhou because they were dormant in Lizhou. Wang Shihu, Yan Beilai, Lin Feiyang and others all returned.
Dou Changsheng had no intention of letting them continue to hide and then suddenly attack.
The rest of the war involves so many people that it doesn't take just one or two people to change the battle.
The armies fought in a dignified manner.
With his trump card in hand, Dou Changsheng is not afraid of challenges.
Now that he had broken through several cities and arrived at Lizhou City, Dou Changsheng looked at a city wall about five feet high in front of him.
This is not a fortified city, and the height of the city walls is only so-so. There is no extraordinary world. Five feet is naturally awe-inspiring, but in this world there are foundation-building monks who can fly. Of course, five feet is too high.
This is also a normal thing. Lizhou is the granary of the world, with smooth terrain and no danger to defend.
It has been a place of four battles since ancient times, and it is also a battleground for military strategists. A true dragon cannot be born in this place because there is no danger to defend and there are enemies on all sides. They are all making wedding clothes for others.
Soldiers may not necessarily be good, but they must be eye-catching.
Therefore, the tens of thousands of troops cultivated by all the efforts of a state are not satisfactory in actual combat, but they are definitely the brightest cubs.
Every soldier is dressed in red.
Those with armor wear armor, and those without armor sit back.
So what appears in front of everyone now is a fiery red ocean.
Dou Changsheng was heartbroken in order to touch the porcelain fire virtue.
Red, all red.
Unless you have to use another color, it's red.
Together with Lao Jiu, he was wearing a low-grade magic weapon. Because the color was not red, Dou Changsheng specifically asked him to cover the armor with Qi and blood, so that it would appear red outside.
Dou Changsheng stared at Lizhou City with sharp eyes. If he went to the city now, Lizhou had already acquired most of it.
But it doesn't make much sense now. There is no danger in Lizhou to defend, and this is not a fortified city. Dou Changsheng has no intention of defending the city. He completely wants to fight the decisive battle with Emperor Chen in the plain area.
The effect of defending the city is not that great. If it weren't for the many state soldiers here, Dou Changsheng would not even plan to attack the city of Lizhou.
While Dou Changsheng was watching, Lizhou Prefect was also on the city wall, looking down at Guanzhou Rebellious outside the city.
Lizhou Zhoumu is very old. His hair is as white as snow. His face is full of wrinkles, like ravines, and there are many age spots. His tall figure in his youth is now stooped, and his figure is relatively skinny, as if He was dying, with one foot in the coffin.
With the breeze blowing in front of him, Lizhou Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the enemy with a sharp light.
A look of surprise appeared on his old face, and he said in disbelief: "Dou Ni has only occupied Guanzhou for a long time, and the newly recruited soldiers are already so powerful."
Biejia on the side said: "Although this is a new soldier, a spy came from the news. After Dou Ni occupied Guanzhou, he did not enjoy it for a day. All the money he gained was sent to the army for training."
"The spiritual rice, spiritual fruits, etc. confiscated from the aristocratic families have also been sent to the army. Any soldier can taste the crescent rice."
"In addition, Dou Ni has won consecutive battles since he raised his army, so his morale is high and he is powerful."
The prefect of Lizhou sighed and said, "Dou Ni is using our Lizhou to train troops."
"Now I have made Dou Ni perfect."
"My lords, do you know of any strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Biejia said without hesitation: "Now your Majesty has raised an army. The army of 200,000 has already entered Lizhou. It only takes three more days to reach the city."
"So we only need to block Dou Ni for three days."
Biejia stared at the army outside the city and continued in a deep voice: "Dou Ni has a strong army, but so what?"
"We, Lizhou, have been recruiting troops recently. Your Excellency has organized the state's troops. Now there are ten thousand troops. The strength of both sides is equal. We only need to resist Dou Ni for three days, and we will win a complete victory."
As soon as the words left his mouth, there was silence above the city wall.
These words can be said to be an expression of daring loyalty and a heart to serve the country. Any ordinary person who hears this will be moved.
I praise you, Your Excellency, you are an unparalleled scholar.
But it is very obvious that those who can stand on the city wall and begin to observe the enemy's situation are not ordinary people.
Their official positions are not low, otherwise how could they stand next to the governor of a state.
So after Bie Jia's words fell, he was immediately left in the cold.
Because they all know the situation, not to mention that Lizhou City has resisted for three days, I am afraid it will be enough for today.
If an ordinary large army conquers, let alone ten thousand enemies, even if there are two or three times as many, they will not be afraid. The walls of Lizhou City are not high, but it is still a city. Attacking the city cannot be accomplished in a day.
But if you can't stand the enemy, you don't have martial ethics.
They can fly.
Even if all the archers are mobilized, it will be of no avail, because the enemy can fly high and break in under the cover of night, so no one can determine the specific location.
After all, archers are human beings, and mobilizing them is troublesome and takes a certain amount of time. This is enough for the enemy to rush into the city.
Besides, there aren’t many archers, so it’s impossible to defend against them.
Biejia looked at the quiet scene and suddenly felt that the atmosphere became strange. He immediately looked at Lizhou Zhoumu and said, "What are you going to do, Master Zhoumu?"
"His Majesty's two hundred thousand troops will arrive soon."
The last sentence has no beginning and no end, and is very abrupt, especially in the context of 200,000 words.
It was obvious that this was a threat.
Reminding everyone that they cannot surrender to the enemy now. Even if they survive now, they will not be able to escape death when His Majesty's army arrives. It is better to fight now and the chance of survival is not small.
Biejia looked at the scene where no one spoke, and couldn't help but look around, but he was shocked at this sight, and blurted out: "Where is Wang Zhizhong?"
"And where is Chief Chen?"
Just now, Biejia was paying attention to Dou Ni, so he didn't pay much attention to the officials from all directions. Now, looking at it, he suddenly discovered that the most prominent officials in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, such as Zhizhong, Chief Registrar, etc., were all absent.
Nowadays, although there are many officials from all over the world, all of them are relatively unfamiliar and it is rare to see them in the state pastoral office.
The Lizhou Prefect, who had been silent all this time, spoke: "Wang Zhizhong and Master Chen are both sick, so I asked them to rest first."
Biejia didn't wait for Lizhou Zhoumu to finish his words, and directly denounced him: "Master Zhoumu is a feudal official."
"Now that Dou Ni is so close, Mr. Zhou Mu actually wants to surrender to the enemy. It is in vain to express his kindness to the emperor. This is so stupid."
"His Majesty's 200,000-strong army will arrive soon. If Dou Ni mantis blocks the carriage with his arms, he will definitely die."
"Even if Lord Zhou Mu wants to go to the upper world, he does not need to choose Dou Ni. He can wait until the situation evolves in the future. If Da Chen dies, he can choose Da Yan Zhengshuo."
"I don't know how many of the great families in the world have defected to Dayan. How can Dou Ni be so virtuous and talented as to be able to convince Lord Zhou Mu to join him?"
Don't mention Dayan Zhengshuo, his tone became complicated, it was not because he wanted to take refuge, but because he wanted to stabilize Lizhou Prefecture. As long as His Majesty's army arrived, Lizhou Prefecture Mu could be defeated with a snap of his fingers.
Lizhou Prefect shook his head and said, "Don't drive the wrong way."
"It is precisely because too many people in the world choose Dayan that I cannot choose."
"Although my family background is not bad, there are several families who are better than mine. In terms of talent, although I am a high-ranking official and prominent in the world, I am not as good as the general or the right prime minister. There are also several people who are worse than me. .”
"If I choose Dayan, then if there is someone with a better family background and better ability than me, I will be lost in the crowd and will never have a chance to stand out."
"After all, Dayan is too big and has too many talents. If I can't even dominate this small world, how can I have the confidence to succeed in Dayan?"
"On the other hand, King Xia is different. King Xia is now alone. It is the time when he is thirsty for talents. If I go to King Xia, I will definitely receive courtesy and be reused by King Xia."
"After going to Dayan like this, I am also an important minister under the command of King Xia."
"Dayan is very good and powerful, but the person who represents Dayan now is just a county magistrate."
"And King Xia is the son-in-law of the Yin family, and the Yin family is the most top-notch family."
Fang Biejia suddenly said: "You old thief is quite smart."
The governor of Lizhou said calmly: "It's just that Dayan is too powerful, so I won't choose him. Such a powerful court has its own laws, and officials must abide by the rules when they are promoted."
"How can Zhou Xiancheng have the ability to let me enter the official career again?"
"Here I am a high-ranking official in the border area. I am afraid I won't even be able to be a small official when I get to Yanhou."
"On the other hand, the Yin family is different. Good or bad is all a matter of the above sentence."
"Although Dayan is strong, he is just a county magistrate. There are not as many resources as the Yin family."
Fang Biejia sneered and said: "A guy like you who is opportunistic and likes to work hard has no future at all."
"It is because Dayan has the rules that he can be promoted step by step. In the future, he can be promoted to generals. The honor and disgrace of one's body are all determined by the good or bad above. This is treating others like a dog. Now I appreciate you and you have benefited. , I will hate you in the future, and everything I have gained now will be taken back."
Lizhou Prefect waved his hand and said goodbye to a fat man without even looking at him, "I would also like to ask the Immortal Master to go there himself."
"We, Lizhou, have surrendered."
"I am willing to follow the King of Xia, ride the horse in front and behind the horse, and help King Xia rule the world."
The fat white man shook his fly whisk and spoke gently: "Master Zhou Mu turned from darkness to light and cut off the evil. It is a righteous act."
“The future is promising.”
