Tiannan 242, Yunzhou...

To the west of Yunzhou is Qingqing Grassland. Since the founding of Tiannan, the relationship between Tiannan and the grassland has not been harmonious. There have been frequent military encounters all year round. Before Feng Jueyu left Tiannan, there was the Mu family's iron army west of Yunzhou.

The purpose of stationing in Western Xinjiang for 800 miles is to prevent the invasion of the Huerbei tribe in the grassland.

The Mu family started with the old general Mu Hongtu, one of the seven kings of Tiannan, who protected the important officials of the Tiannan country. The descendants of the Mu family for three generations were like gods in military warfare. The Mu Zhonghun of the Mu family was even called the commander of the divine army.

Under the protection of the Mu family, Tiannan has maintained peace for decades. Even though the war in western Xinjiang continues for years, the hinterland of Tiannan is prosperous and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

With the protection of the Mu family, Tiannan has not launched a war for many years.

However, in Tiannan 241, one year after Feng Jueyu left Tiannan, the border in western Xinjiang suddenly became tight. The Huerbei royal family in the grassland ordered their ministers to lead an army of 800,000 to invade the border. At that time, because of the Tiannan Empire,

During the civil strife, Tianjian Mountain and Tiannan Emperor Zhou Renguang launched an army to attack the rebellion, driving the Shangguanfu, Xiangjia, and Dao families to the border of Yunzhou and Yuezhou, causing all the Mu family to resign and return to their fields, directly causing the loss of the gods of Western Xinjiang.

handsome.

There have been frequent emergencies in Western Xinjiang, and the entire hinterland of Tiannan has been affected, making the people sleepless and frightened every night, fearing that some time the barbarians on the grassland will invade Tiannan and become slaves...

At this time, when Zhou Renguang, who was under national power, was suffering terribly, Shangguan Ruo, who had broken with the empire, raised the flag of righteousness at the border of Yuyun and Yue Prefectures bordering Tiannan. This flag was

They guarded the border areas for Tiannan in the name of protecting the people. However, the prairie barbarians were naturally brave and could not be easily repelled. In addition, for some reason, the Blood Sea Sect in the prairie suddenly violated the interaction between martial arts and the secular world.

The agreement not to interfere in political affairs made the soldiers on the Tiannan border miserable.

At that time, it will be the time for Feng Jueyu and his people to set off from Zhongtian City and return to Tiannan after traveling thousands of miles.

Yunzhou realm, Yunzhou ancient city...

At present, Yunzhou City has no swords and is divided into two families. Since the 800,000 grassland army broke through the defenses of Western Xinjiang two months ago, it took the road north and aimed directly at the land of Yunzhou. Xiang Bohou,

Daozhong sent troops and horses to garrison, preparing to give the enemy a head-on blow. At that time, Mu Hongtu also led hundreds of generals to cheer in front of the battle. Shangguan Lingyun also transferred heroes from the East and West Green Forest League to join the army defending Tiannan.

among.

At this moment, the ancient city of Yunzhou is filled with brightly-armored troops, the city gates are closed, and there are many sentries. A depressing atmosphere envelopes the already barren and not rich land.

In the Yunzhou City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere was extremely depressing. In front of the hall, Xiang Bohou, Dao Zhong, Shangguan Lingyun, Mu Hongtu, Shangguan Tengfeng, Shangguan Liuyun, Shangguan Jinglei, Mu Zhonghun, and Mu Qianjun were all among them.

The young Houye Dao Xingkong, Xiang Taorong, the current head of the Xiang family, is also sitting on both sides, and below are the heroes of the Green Forest League.

The hall was as quiet as a pindrop. This was the moment when the two countries were at war for a whole year. The grassland army took some strong medicine and marched straight forward without encountering any obstruction. They reached 800 miles outside Yunzhou City.

They were stationed everywhere. As a result, the people of Yunzhou and the subjects of the Xiang and Dao families were waiting for war, could not sleep at night, and were in fear.

The faint lights were beating feebly, as if they could feel the depressed mood of many soldiers in the palace, and they were about to go out...

Mu Hongtu frowned, thinking hard on a sand table, and did not speak for a long time. This old but wise old man was at a loss at this moment.

"Zhonghun, when will Tiannan's army arrive for reinforcements?" Mu Hongtu suddenly asked, and a group of people in front of the hall looked at him.

Mu Zhonghun, who has been leading the army for many years, has developed the ability to remain calm even when the troops are approaching the city. He did not waver at all. He said: "According to the distance, it will take ten days."

"Ten days?" Mu Hongtu sighed: "It only takes five days for Huerbei's army to lead 800,000 troops to the city. And now there are 20,000 old and weak soldiers in the city. In ten days, they are ready to come.

Will you collect the body for us?"

Mu Zhonghun didn't say anything, Dao Zhong slammed the table angrily and said: "Damn it, we risked our lives for Tiannan, but Zhou Renguang, an old dog, actually didn't stand still for a long time. I think he resented the time when Xiao Yu used the devil to control Yun and Yue Erzhou.

Take it away, this time I plan to kill with a borrowed knife."

Xiang Nanhou squinted his eyes and said shamelessly: "Zhou Renguang, did you understand him just now? In my opinion, it is better for everyone to pack up and go as far as possible. With such an emperor, Tiannan will be destroyed sooner or later.

"

"You can't say that." Shangguan Lingyun interjected: "The grassland army's invasion this time is nothing more than relying on the power of the Blood Sea Sect. Although Zhou Renguang is fatuous, the world is still his. How can he not be worried about Xu Guoshi?

Didn’t I say that Commander Xu Ziyang has already sent people to his sect to ask for help? If we can rely on the power of Tianjian Mountain and his sect, we still have a certain chance of winning."

"Dad..." Shangguan Lingyun finished his words, and Shangguan Tengfeng said quickly: "Why do you still believe him? Tianjian Mountain and Xu Ziyang's sect is true in dealing with the Blood Sea Sect, but that is something for later. If you want me to say it, it is still

What Uncle Xiang said makes sense, they are planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Everyone looked at the father and son of the Shangguan family. Shangguan Lingyun first glared at Shangguan Tengfeng, then closed his eyes and sighed: "So what? Are we just going to watch the people of Tiannan suffer in agony?"

Shangguan Tengfeng clenched his fist angrily: "Benevolence, loyalty, father, three uncles, Zhou Renguang didn't take Yun and Yue Erzhou seriously at all. Everyone was present at what happened back then. If Xiaoyu hadn't used the devil to kill the two

Zhou Renguang did not dare to easily move Yunzhou. Yuezhou finally had a chance. He knew that we could not leave the people alone, so he delayed sending troops. This

There are many people in the world who can see this. With such a foolish king, why should we protect them? In my opinion, it is not better to open the city gate and let the grassland army come in to destroy this foolish king."

Shangguan Tengfeng was also furious. What happened was just as he said. Ever since the prairie army invaded, Zhou Renguang, Xu Liefeng, and Xu Ziyang had been delaying time, saying they were mobilizing troops, but in fact they were

After half a month, there is still no news. In order to let Feng Jueyu take him to Zhongtian City, Xing Kun threatened Zhou Renguang not to touch Yun, Yue Erzhou could only point his finger at him, but Zhou Renguang always held a grudge in his heart. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not take advantage of it?

principle.

Although everyone here understands Zhou Renguang's thoughts, for the sake of the people of the world, the four Shangguan Lingyuns, who are the Seven Kings of Tiannan, still formed a large army. However, even the city defenders were not enough to make up a fraction of the grassland army. This battle basically did not take place.

Any chance of winning.

Everyone was silent, and their opinions were not unanimous. But what they couldn't do was that Xiang Nanhou, Dao Zhong, Shangguan Lingyun and Mu Hongtu were the decision-makers. According to their views, even if they stood to the last soldier, they had to save their lives.

This is the last Tiannan barrier.

"Tengfeng, you don't have to say it. A scholar dies for a confidant. Although we don't know ourselves, we must do this for the sake of the world."

Mu Zhonghun took the words at the right time and interrupted the quarrel between father and son: "I will write a letter of divorce now and urge you again. I think the emperor will consider the common people in the world and put aside the past grievances for the time being."

Regarding Mu Zhonghun's words, not a majority of the people present believed it, nor did they have much hope. But now, all they can do is wait.

Just as Mu Zhonghun was picking up his pen and polishing it, Dao Zhong suddenly asked: "It's strange. Martial arts and secular life have never interfered with each other. Why did the Blood Sea Sect break the agreement between the families this time and come to violate it?

?Without the Blood Sea Sect, we may not lose."

If it were a unified army fighting, many people here would be fully confident that even if there were fewer people, they could still stop the steppe army. After all, Mu Zhonghun was known as the divine master.

But as soon as the Blood Sea Sect joined in, the situation became completely different.

Mu Hongtu said: "I heard that the Blood Sea Boxing King Hai Batian is also a figure, and he should not violate the rules of martial arts. Could it be that Hu Erbei convinced him?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say..."

…

At the same time, completely opposite to the depressing atmosphere outside Yunzhou City as soldiers approached the city, the Tiannan Imperial Palace was in full swing of singing and dancing.

In the main hall, Zhou Renguang sat on the dragon chair and enjoyed the beautiful singing and dancing in front of the hall. On both sides were the national masters Xu Liefeng and Xu Ziyang. Next to them were Tianjian Mountain Mu Wenxin and Sui Kongren, on the right side of the seat.

, and a row of people dressed as warriors.

The first old man is particularly eye-catching. This man has a strong aura and a faint green light around him, but he is a master who has stepped into the realm of divine martial arts.

After enjoying the singing and dancing for a while, Zhou Ren Guangping withdrew the singing girl and then asked: "Xu Ziyang, where is my Tiannan army now?"

Xu Ziyang stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, a million troops have entered the territory of Dongzhou and are waiting for further instructions."

"Very good." Zhou Renguang smiled broadly: "Let the Blood Sea Sect and the Huerbei people set off when they arrive in Yunzhou."

Xu Liefeng smiled and continued: "Haha, your Majesty is so wise. Shangguan Lingyun and Mu Hongtu must have never thought that the Yunzhou City they defended with blood would be taken over by us."

Zhou Renguang waved his hand and said: "This matter all depends on Ziyang. If he hadn't proposed two years ago that I wait until the Blood Sea Gate to assassinate Hai Batian, which caused disputes between the two countries, Huerbei would not have raised his troops in anger.

It’s a pity that Hai Batian really tolerated the invasion, and he actually endured it for a year before he raised an army to kill us.”

Xu Ziyang smiled and said: "No matter what, the Blood Sea Sect is here after all. As long as they capture Yunzhou, they will definitely kill the four families of Xiang, Dao, Mu, and Shangguan. By then our army will be suppressed from the rear, and Master and the Emperor will take action to destroy them."

Not only can I use the Blood Sea Gate to eliminate the serious troubles of the four families, but I can also control all the grasslands in my hands. By then, another huge area will be added to the Tiannan territory..."
