A month ago, the fleeing army of Zhao State, which was repulsed by Ye Yun, finally decided to station itself at Shuangfengguan Fortress under the command of General Zhao State.
After all, they failed to attack Xia Kingdom. If they went back in despair, they would definitely be punished by Xuanyin Pavilion.
It would be better to hold on to the Shuangfengguan Fortress, which would at least be a bit of a credit.
In fact, with Ye Yun's strength, a month ago, even though Qingzhou's army had not withdrawn, the royal city's defenders only had tens of thousands of defeated soldiers left.
Ye Yun alone is enough to take back Shuangfengguan Fortress.
However, he did not do so at that time, firstly because after the Royal City Defense War, Xia Kingdom's post-war reconstruction work still needed his leadership.
The second reason is that after Zhao's army retreated to Shuangfengguan Fortress, in order to prevent Xia's counterattack.
There will certainly be extensive reconstruction and restorative work for the fortress.
What Ye Yun wanted was to give Zhao Guo time to rest and rebuild the fortress, so that he could directly take over a renovated fortress.
This is not a small project, it requires a lot of resources, and even in the state of Zhao, it may require a lot of blood.
Not to mention that the Xia Kingdom was in dire straits at this time. If the Shuangfengguan Fortress was directly recaptured at that time, Xia Kingdom would probably have to break its muscles and bones if it wanted to repair it in its current state.
………
Shuangfengguan Fortress.
From the day the Zhao army retreated to the fortress, they were always prepared for Xia's counterattack.
For this reason, they built a large number of fortifications in the direction of the fortress facing Xia Kingdom. At the same time, they sent out more than ten rounds of scouts every day to detect Xia Kingdom's movements.
Xia Guo's mighty army of 200,000 marched out, and the traces of their march were quickly discovered by spies sent by Zhao Guo.
"Your Majesty, a reconnaissance scout sent by the State of Zhao has been spotted ahead!"
Among the army, Ye Yun was riding a golden lion and was following the army.
At this moment, Nangong Wudi, who was originally opening the way for the front army, suddenly arrived here.
"Should we get rid of these Zhao Guo's eyes and ears?"
Nangong Wudi said respectfully at this time.
Hearing this, Ye Yun, who closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and looked at Nangong Wudi with a calm expression.
"It doesn't matter!"
"Don't worry about them, just let them send the news back."
After hearing Ye Yun's words, Nangong Wudi stepped back respectfully.
Directly in front of Xia's former army, there was a distance of about three miles.
A fast horse was running very fast, and on the horse was a scout wearing Zhao Guo's clothes.
At this time, he had a look of panic on his face. Even though the speed of the war horse under his crotch had been increased to the limit, he kept swinging his riding whip and hitting the horse's body.
Ye Yun's terrifying performance in the Xia King's City had already spread throughout the entire Zhao army, and he was one of the soldiers who escaped from the battlefield in the King's City.
So when he saw the mighty troops of Xia State, especially the honor guard representing the King of Xia in the central army, he was so frightened that he ran back.
"Da da da!"
The horse's hoofs beat rapidly on the ground, and soon the Zhao State sentry stationed at Shuangfeng Pass Fortress saw the figure of the Zhao State scout.
"It's urgent! The Xia army is coming,"
"Open the door quickly, I want to meet the commander!"
As soon as he approached the gate of the fortress, the Zhao scout shouted at the top of his lungs. In an instant, his words caused chaos among the entire Zhao defenders in Shuangfengguan Fortress.
………
After the Zhao State captured the Shuangfengguan Fortress, the Generalissimo of the Zhao State left one hundred thousand troops to garrison, and the remaining troops went with him to attack the Xia King's City.
Unexpectedly, the Xia Kingdom was about to be wiped out. In the end, a monster like Ye Yun appeared. Not only was the general marshal of the Zhao Kingdom killed, but the generals and senior generals of the Zhao Kingdom who were accompanying the army were also killed.
In the end, only about 200,000 remnant troops were left and fled back to Shuangfengguan Fortress.
Including the defenders of Zhao State who were left behind to guard the fortress, the number of Zhao State troops stationed in Shuangfengguan Fortress at this time was 300,000.
Moreover, because of dissatisfaction with the failure of Zhao Guo's mission and other matters, Xuanyin Pavilion did not send strong men to Shuangfengguan Fortress.
At this time, the commanders in the fortress were the only three generals left in the Zhao Kingdom.
They are Shangdan, Zhongshan and Xiafu.
These three people are second only to Li Teng among the generals in Zhao State, and their respective families have considerable power in Zhao State.
Moreover, although Xuanyin Pavilion did not send anyone here, it still provided some help to Zhao Guo.
For example, the strength of Shang Dan, Zhong Shan, and Xia Fu were raised to the ninth level of martial arts using elixirs.
However, even so, they were extremely reluctant to come to garrison Shuangfengguan Fortress.
The ninth-level martial arts masters were usually considered strong, but facing the new king of Xia who was not even a match for the Zhao State Marshal at the second-level martial arts king, what a splash they could make with this little strength.
But for the safety of their respective families, they simply couldn't refuse.
So after arriving at Shuangfengguan Fortress, they could be said to live in fear every day, fearing that Xia's army would come to kill them when they suddenly opened their eyes.
For a month, they frantically repaired the buildings in the fortress and continued to build fortifications outside the fortress.
We did this not to defend the Shuangfeng Pass Fortress, but to buy them time to escape.
On this day, the three of them were in the meeting hall as usual, discussing so-called defense matters.
"Two brothers."
Sitting around the fortress map, Shang Dan looked at Zhong Shan and Xia Fu and suddenly said:
"I don't know if you have heard that the other six countries have formed an alliance to fight Xuanyin Pavilion together."
Hearing Shang Dan's words, Zhong Shan and Xia Fu couldn't help but tremble, and they both laughed bitterly.
"This matter has been widely spread, how could we not know about it,"
"However, in my opinion, the Six Nations are overestimating their capabilities. The strength of Xuanyin Pavilion is beyond their imagination."
Zhong Shan said in a casual tone at this time, obviously not optimistic about the Six Nations Alliance.
"Xuanyin Pavilion will handle matters related to the Six Nations Alliance."
"However, now that Xia Kingdom has joined the alliance, I am afraid that they will soon take action against Shuangfengguan Fortress."
Xia Fu's tone was heavy. After Zhong Shan finished speaking, he stood up with a solemn face and said:
"I think it's better for us to make plans in advance!"
After hearing his words, the two people present couldn't help but change their expressions.
Xia Fu was right, Xuanyin Pavilion was very powerful, and the Six Nations Alliance was destined to be a mantis trying to control the chariot, but this had nothing to do with them.
Xuanyin Pavilion will not help them tide over the difficulties.
Thinking of the information about the new king of Xia Kingdom that they got from the soldiers who retreated, they couldn't help but feel pain in their heads.
The King of Xia is so powerful that even the people sent by Xuanyin Pavilion cannot resist it, so what can they do to resist it?
Just as the three of them were thinking hard about countermeasures, suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded.
