For Yunzhou, Tianping Junzhi Prefecture, located on the south bank of the Yellow River, August is the time for clear and refreshing autumn.

Whether it is a high-ranking official or a wealthy family, after being bored in the house for several months in the hot summer, they will choose to go out to the countryside to enjoy the coolness and pleasantness of autumn.

However, Xue Wei, the governor of the Tianping Army, was obviously different from ordinary people. Even though he was standing on the towering city tower at this moment, his clothes were blown away by the cool breeze on his face, and his forehead was still covered with dense beads of sweat.

Xue Wei was followed by a group of civil servants and generals. The civil servants were his confidant aides, and there were many Confucian disciples at the level of literary masters. The military generals were also good at fighting in the Tianping Army, including two new military generals.

There are fifty-three vassal states in the world. If such a lineup was placed a year ago, it would definitely make Xue Wei look down on all sides among the governors of the vassal states.

However, today is different from the past.

The general trend of the world has changed too quickly in the past six months. With the continuous wars and smoke, military and warriors have emerged like mushrooms after a rain. After the princes from all over the country tried every means to expand their territory, the number of Confucian scholars gradually increased.

In the world today, it seems that military generals are not military generals. When they come to the battlefield, they dare not look up and report their names loudly. If civil officials are not Confucian scholars and literary masters, they will be embarrassed to serve as prefectures and county chiefs.

These war generals Wen Shi behind Xue Wei can make him confident when facing ordinary vassal states, such as the vassal states in Lingnan, Hunan. It’s a pity that he is now sandwiched between the Pinglu Army and the Xuanwu Army, facing the top princes in the world.

Several literary generals did not make him feel a little confident.

Xue Wei's eyes were always staring at the south. There were many pedestrians on the official road, but the people he was waiting for had not appeared for a long time, which made him sigh heavily.

He said: "I heard that Zhu Wen has come out of the secret realm of Heaven and Dao for many days, and his cultivation level has increased greatly and promoted to the Immortal Realm. Yunzhou is only three hundred miles away from Bianzhou. If he suddenly rushed over to assassinate me, I don't know if this head of the head on my neck can be kept."

After saying this, the civil servants and generals behind him all changed their expressions.

One of the elderly civil servants hurriedly said, "Enter Lian doesn't have to worry so much. Although Zhu Wen is powerful, he can't beat His Highness An. How dare he come to Yunzhou alone to assassinate Envoy Lian in Yunzhou? If he is caught by His Highness An, it will be more than worth the loss!"

Hearing this sentence, Xue Wei's face looked a little better, but his worry still did not disappear.

He said uneasy: "Zhu Wen naturally cannot compare with King An. But King An owns seven towns in Hebei and Pinglu, and he has a lot of things to do every day, so he may not be able to care about me... I hope, I hope King An still has my life in his eyes..."

When Xue Wei said this, his expression was humble and his voice fell into the hearts of civil servants and military generals. It made people feel that Xue Wei was like a grass under a storm. Life and death cannot be left to him, and he can only pray for the blessing of the gods.

And the gods are very busy.

This scene is really indescribable.

Seeing everyone's mentality, Xue Wei had to be too pessimistic. He smiled bitterly: "I miss me, Xue Wei, at least I am the governor of a town with a hundred thousand troops..."

His voice came to an abrupt end, and the words he said were swallowed back to his stomach.

The person he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared on the official road.

The two riders rushed over, and the pedestrians were so scared that they screamed in shock and hurriedly dodged to both sides.

That was the scout sent by Xue Wei to Caozhou and Huazhou.

Soon, the two scouts rushed up the city tower and bowed in front of Xue Wei.

"Tell me quickly, what is the military situation ahead?" Xue Wei turned around and asked anxiously.

"Reporting to the army commander, Xuanwu's army went down Baigou, and the vanguard army was approaching Caozhou's Ancient Ju County!" The older scout was the first to speak out in a panic. He was a monk in the middle of Qi training. He was specially assigned by Xue Wei to go to Caozhou to inquire about military information, so he was able to bring back the most timely enemy intelligence.

Baigou is a river connecting the Xuanwu army's prefecture, Bianzhou and Caozhou, and finally merge into Juyeze, and Yunzhou is on the shore of Juyeze.

In other words, if the Xuanwu army descended along the river, if it captured Caozhou, it would be able to reach the city of Yunzhou by water!

Caozhou Anju County is the only bridgehead for Caozhou to defend against the Xuanwu army. If the Anju is captured by the Xuanwu army, Caozhou will have to face the Xuanwu army's military front and it will be difficult to defend.

Hearing this news, Xue Wei's face turned pale and his voice trembled, "Xuan... the vanguard of Xuanwu Army, how many soldiers and horse monks are there?"

The scout replied: "There are no less than 50,000 infantry and cavalry, and there are still 800 soldiers accompanying you!"

"Fifty thousand infantry and cavalry...800 soldiers...This is just a vanguard..." Xue Wei couldn't help but take two steps back, staggering, almost unsteady in his standing, feeling that the sky had collapsed.

He knew very well that the more than 10,000 guards who had just made unjust words could not defeat this army, and they were likely to collapse at once. And Caozhou... was likely to be powerless to rescue him.

Once the Xuanwu army is allowed to attack Caozhou City, its main army will inevitably catch up. Even if Caozhou has more troops, it will be useless.

Xue Wei smiled miserably after gaining a foothold, "Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen will take action first after all! He... he is really unwilling to sit and wait for death, he is indeed ambitious, he really... he wants to remove the nail in Caozhou first! No, it is not to remove the nail in Caozhou, he wants to capture my entire three states of Tianping! In this way, it is possible to cooperate with the direction of Gunzhou and use troops from both sides to Pinglu at the same time!"

Baigou flows through Juyeze and then goes northeast, communicating with Pinglu and Jeju, renamed Jishui, and finally merges into the Bohai Sea.

When the civil servants and generals heard Xue Wei's words, they felt cold. They knew that what Xue Wei was saying was the truth, and they were all panicked.

Even the master Xue Wei is so desperate, how can he be stable?

However, the emergency military information brought back by the scout has not been reported yet.

Another scout was a little younger, he came back from Huazhou.

He said tremblingly: "The Yicheng Army of Huazhou is divided into two parts. Recently, the two counties of Weinan and Weicheng near the border of Caozhou and Puzhou have completed the assembly."

"According to the probe, the Yicheng army in Weinan County in the north showed signs of advancing towards Puzhou; while the Yicheng army in Weicheng County in the south was mostly elite cavalry, and the cavalry had already invaded the border of Huazhou!"

Xue Wei opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

The three states of Tianping, Caozhou, Puzhou and Yunzhou, among which Puzhou is located near the Yellow River and is across the river from the vassal state Weibo on the other side.

If reinforcements from Wei Bo come to support the Tianping Army, Puzhou is a must-pass place, and Yicheng's army deployed heavy troops in Weinan County, with the intention of of course to capture Puzhou and cut off reinforcements from Hebei!

At the same time, the Yicheng army elite cavalry gathered in Weicheng to quickly insert into the rear of Caozhou when necessary and block Yunzhou's army to reinforce Caozhou!

The old aide who had spoken before could not keep calm at this moment, and said tremblingly, "It seems that Zhu Wen is determined to win the Tianping Army..."

Xue Wei was not in a state of mind, and his eyes were empty and murmured: "The Tianping Army is about to be finished... Before the Pinglu Army's army came, the three states of Tianping were about to fall into the enemy..."

He suddenly sighed to the sky and said in a grief: "Oh my God, what did I do wrong? I am Xue Wei, are you going to fall into this situation today?!"

The Xuanwu Army has taken action, and it will perish in ten days with the power of the Tianping Army alone.

To be fair, in the face of troubled times, the Tianping Army had never taken the initiative to provoke a war and had a rare adherence to the duties of a vassal state.

However, in the turbulent times, the world is in a great struggle, and it is not possible to protect yourself without taking the initiative to provoke the battle.

The wheel of history will not stop moving forward, and the black clouds of general trend will sooner or later be crushed. If you cannot become a trendsetter in the torrent, you can only watch yourself lose.

Just like Liu Biao, who was guarding Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, always kept his loyalty to protect the country and the people, but was finally destroyed by Cao Cao's army in the south without any effort.

The old aide suddenly asked, "Envoy Lian! Hasn't Your Highness King An agreed to send elite troops to help us defend Caozhou? Why haven't they arrived yet? When will they arrive?!"

At this critical moment of life and death, the only thing they could think of could save them from water and fire was King An.

That's their entire hope.

Xue Wei said sadly: "It's too late, it's too late for King An's troops to be too late. There are still seven days left before the agreed deadline!"

"Your Highness wants to mobilize nearly one million troops in seven towns in Hebei. It took a long time. How could it be faster than Zhu Wen's battle in the Central Plains before the troops had not returned to their own towns to gather? If... if you wait for another seven days, the Pinglu army might have arrived, but now..."

Xue Wei did not continue to talk about the consequences, he had just mentioned them.

The civil servants and generals behind him all looked pale and finally realized that the disaster of destruction was inevitable, which made them lose their souls and almost collapsed to the ground.

Just like when Liu Biao heard that Cao Cao's army was coming, he died in less than two days after he could not afford to get sick - that might have been scared to death.

But at this moment, a voice full of teasing sounded: "What's the matter now? Does Xue Shuai feel that everything is about to be finished now? Don't panic, Pinglu Army is here now."

"who?"

When the civil servants and generals heard this clear voice, they were all shocked.

The voice was close to my ears, indicating that the other party was very close to them, but they didn't notice it at all before.

How high is this person's cultivation level?

If the other party is a great monk sent by Zhu Wen, if he wants to assassinate Xue Wei, wouldn’t it be easy?

Unlike the panicked officials, Xue Wei's heart trembled when he heard this voice, and almost cried with joy. He quickly looked around and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness...You are here?"

He didn't see anyone in the city tower, so he hurriedly lay down in front of the window and looked out, and was stunned when he saw it.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and is passing through rapidly.

It was not a dark cloud, but a great monk flying by in large numbers!

To have such a large formation, at least two or three thousand masters above the real person realm!

Next to these great monks who were flying by, a handsome young man with a handsome and handsome black robe was floating in the air in front of the city tower, with a smile on his lips and looking at him with a playful look.

"Greetings to Your Highness, Prince An!" Xue Wei was as if the dying man had grabbed the life-saving straw. He was so excited that he trembled all over and quickly bowed.

The civil servants and generals behind him were shocked by the order of monks flying through the air, which was so powerful and rare.

At this moment, in their eyes, King An who was floating outside the window was like a god, which made them lose their minds. It was not until they heard Xue Wei's voice that they reacted and hurriedly bowed underground, "Greetings to His Highness King An!"

"Everyone get up, Xue Wei comes out to speak." Li Ye said with a smile.

Xue Wei was also a cultivator in the realm of the realm. Hearing this, he quickly got up, flew out of the city tower and came to Li Ye.

His face turned red with excitement, "Your Highness, why did you come here so soon?"

Li Ye chuckled and said, "The Lone King doesn't want to collect your body, so of course he can only come here earlier."

In fact, Li Ye's scout had long been sent to Bianzhou, and his scout was in the Immortal Realm. The military information that could be explored was much more detailed and deeper than Xue Wei's scout, so he could arrive in time.

As soon as he saw Li Ye, Xue Wei had recovered his confidence. At this moment, he was infected by the smile that the other party was holding, and he couldn't help laughing, as if he had removed the 10,000-pound stone from his shoulder, and said with ease: "With Your Highness here, Zhu Wen can't even attack Yunzhou!"

Speaking of this, Xue Wei suddenly hesitated and looked at Li Ye tentatively.

"If you have anything, just say it if you want to, don't hide it." Li Ye did not put on airs.

Xue Wei was embarrassed to disturb his head, and then said seriously: "Your Highness, the emperor has just received an emergency military report. The 50,000 infantry and cavalry of the vanguard of Xuanwu Army have already reached an unjust sentence!"

His meaning was very obvious. Li Ye and the monks came, so Yunzhou could naturally persist in the Pinglu reinforcements, but the wrong words on the front line and Caozhou might not be able to be preserved.

After all, Zhu Wen also has many great monks, and his Taoist soldiers are 3,008 - this is still the first two batches of Taoist soldiers in the lower realm. No one knows whether the third batch of Taoist soldiers are now in the lower realm.

Therefore, when the power of monks is generally equal, the decisive victory on the battlefield still depends on the army of infantry and cavalry.

Li Ye glanced at Xue Wei and said calmly: "General Shangguan personally led the wolf's teeth and 20,000 infantry and cavalry to Caozhou. Now, do you still think that Caozhou's injustice will be lost?"
Chapter completed!
