Mu Huaicheng nodded, put on his mask, and walked out with a condensed air.
"Miss, there is news from Kyoto that Prince Yu and Prime Minister Shen Qingzhou's people have declared war... Kyoto is in chaos, Xiao Junze's important officials have been wiped out, assassinations... everyone has been silenced..."
As soon as something happened to Xiao Junze, Shen Qingzhou's people couldn't wait to attack Xiao Junze's former important ministers.
Chaoyang had already expected it, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic in Kyoto.
This bloody storm has spread from outside the customs to the entire Fengtian.
Xiao Junze's death had a lot of implications.
Too many people are implicated.
"Miss..." Seeing Chaoyang retreating with a pale face, the shadow guard was a little worried.
"He Gu... If Xiao Junze hadn't died, those old and important ministers who supported him wouldn't have had to die..." Shen Qingzhou changed his blood, and those who died would definitely be strong-willed.
Anyone who is willing to seek refuge with Shen Qingzhou will definitely not be silenced...
It was her fault, she shouldn't have let Xiao Junze die.
"Miss, whether Xiao Junze is dead or alive, there will be bloodshed in Kyoto." When Shen Qingzhou gains power, it is Xiao Junze's people who die, and when Xiao Junze gains power, it is Shen Qingzhou's people who die.
"But those old ministers are all loyal and loyal..." Chaoyang breathed tremblingly, tears gathering in his eyes.
"Young lady, there is no need to feel sad. What is a loyal minister? It's just a matter of different positions. Since they have recognized their master, they will die without regrets." He Gu wanted to comfort Chaoyang, but this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Different positions..." The situation in the court is changing rapidly, and everyone is working hard to survive.
As a minister, as a general, they live and die for the king, and they can sacrifice everything for the faith in their hearts.
…
Outside the customs, the inn.
"Poof!" Xiao Junze vomited blood and was unconscious all night.
"The old man in the middle pavilion was killed..."
As soon as the secret guard finished speaking, Xiao Junze vomited blood again.
Zhongge Lao is a veteran official of the court who supported Empress Changsun back then.
He was entrusted by Empress Changsun and had always taken good care of Xiao Junze.
The new emperor Xiao Junze came to the throne, and the elder Ge has been working for him in the court.
"You...didn't bring the words to you?" Xiao Junze's eyes were extremely red and swollen, and his body was trembling because of the forbearance.
My hands were clenched so tightly that they were numb, and the veins on the backs of my hands and face were abnormally bulging.
Xiao Junze's heart is also made of flesh, and he will also feel pain.
"I have told the elder that your majesty is still alive, and asked him to bow his head to Shen Qingzhou for the time being. As long as he can survive...wait for your return." The secret guard knelt on the ground, his body also trembling.
He was also mourning for Elder Ge. "Your Majesty... Elder Ge asked his subordinates to pass a message. He said... The Fan family is full of loyal people, and no one is greedy for life or afraid of death. Shen Qingzhou is now killing chickens to scare monkeys. It may be useful for them to bow their heads, but they
No. The loyal loyalists of the Fan family...Only when they are dead, Your Majesty, can you...be determined to return. Only then can the courtiers remember your benevolent government and see Shen Qingzhou's true face."
Mr. Ge is... using their family's lives to win over the court officials for Xiao Junze. He is also forcing Xiao Junze to go back and take back everything that belongs to them.
"Elder Ge also said that he wants you to avenge the Fan family... they will support you under the spring and protect you forever." The secret guard kowtowed heavily, he knew what it meant to confront Xiao Junze.
He has a burden on his shoulders, and he has to do everything he can to complete it.
Xiao Junze took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, his whole body still shaking violently.
As a king, you have too many compulsions.
"Shen Qingzhou..." Xiao Junze's voice was full of trembling and hatred.
He and Shen Qingzhou were at odds with each other.
"Your Majesty! You must take good care of your health. During this period of time, you must stay in bed and rest. Only then can you escape from death. You must not...collapse. Everyone is waiting for you." The secret guard spoke worriedly, not wanting Xiao Junze to let him go again.
hurt oneself.
Xiao Junze didn't speak, just lay quietly.
The secret guard lowered his eyes, stood up and slowly planned to leave.
"How's the battle going?"
Xiao Junze can't let go of Chaoyang.
"Looking at the current situation, the enemy has closed the city gate and cannot leave. Our army will attack hard without fighting for the advantage." The secret guard shook his head.
Xiao Junze propped up his body and sat up. Even though his vision was dark, he still wanted to help Chaoyang.
Chaoyang has no actual combat experience. She has never really seen a battlefield. The ground is full of corpses and blood... Will she be scared or sad?
…
Border Pass, battlefield outside Huayang City.
"General, the enemy is refusing to fight and won't open the city gates. The opponent's defense is tight. The ladder cannot be climbed up and the gate cannot be opened by hitting it. What should we do?"
Muji sat on the horse and looked nervously at the masked Mu Huaicheng beside him.
Mu Huaicheng frowned and raised his hand to realize that the soldiers on the ladder had withdrawn.
"Put up a shield formation and use heavy wood to storm the city gate." Mu Huaicheng knew the gate of Dongyang City quite well. It was not that strong if the opponent had no time to repair it.
As soon as the shields were raised, the archers defending the city were helpless. The sound of collisions made the people in the city panic.
"Princess!" Xie Yulan watched the battle in Dongyang City, frowning slightly as he looked at Mu Ji and Mu Huaicheng sitting on horses not far away.
Is there an expert on the other side?
This storming was actually very orderly, with stability amidst the chaos...
Completely different from the previous offensive.
"Throw a stone." Xie Yulan spoke coldly, no longer taking it lightly.
Huge stones were thrown from the city gate, and the shield array could block the bows and arrows, but could not block the heavy objects from falling.
Mu Huaicheng's face darkened, Xie Yulan...
On Huayang City, Chaoyang was facing Xie Yulan in the distance. Although the two were far apart, Chaoyang could still see the strong aura of the other person.
He is a general with a talent that is rare to see in a century.
It's actually a woman.
"Send a message to General Muji, use ropes, ladders, impact, and attack simultaneously." Chaoyang lowered her voice. She wanted to attack by force, disrupting Xie Yulan's formation. "The Mu family's soldiers broke out and went to the city."
The cover expert goes to town.
He forced Xie Yulan to open the city gate and fight.
Xie Yulan was not prepared for a battle. If he was forced to open the city gate, he would definitely be at a disadvantage compared to a well-planned attack.
"Attack!" Muji ordered, and everyone attacked.
Mu Huaicheng looked back at Chaoyang standing above the city gate, and firmly grasped the sword in his hand.
Chaoer is willing to go down the mountain for him, this feeling...
At the city gate, Xie Yulan asked his men to deal with it, but the opponent's attack was too fierce. The ladder fell down with ropes, the ropes were cut off with ladders, and the main entrance continued to attack.
"Damn it." Xie Yulan could basically conclude that the other party definitely had guidance from an expert.
"Fire oil!" Xie Yulan had no intention of opening the door to fight. She could see that the other party was forcing her to leave the city. This unprepared fight would inevitably lead to disadvantages.
Clenching his hands hard, Xie Yulan raised his hand and gave an order.
The pouring kerosene was ignited, and the soldiers on the ladders and ropes screamed and fell.
Huayang City, above the city gate.
Chaoyang took a deep breath and clenched his hands hard.
There was a slight sweat on the forehead, the opponent was really... too difficult to deal with.
Chaoyang is very aware of her shortcomings. She has read military books, but she has no actual combat experience.
No matter how naturally you use the art of war, you will still be a little confused when something unexpected happens on the battlefield.
"Princess..." He Gu was a little worried and could only withdraw if this continued.
But it was not easy for the soldiers to regain their strength and could no longer decline.
"Tie Xie Yunnan out..." Chaoyang's fingers rattled, and she could only use the military method she...had disdained the most.
The Art of War Guigu has two chapters, Yang Bing and Yin Method.
Yang Bing talks about how to transport troops, while Yin Principle is about tricks.
The hostages are in front of the city. Let's see how Xie Yulan... responds.
