Haotian founded the country, and the country was mourned in March. The news spread throughout the entire Chinese continent as if it had wings. Contrary to everyone's imagination, Haotian, who had a deep love for Tianyi and his wife, did not lose his mind and immediately raised troops for revenge.
He didn't scream wild words such as genocide and annihilation of the country. He just chose to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor and then mourn the country for three months.
Regarding the founding of the Hetao, although everyone looked at this huge and extremely dangerous regime with complicated eyes, especially the Uma dynasty, which was the weakest and closest to the Hetao, they were even worried that the Hetao would vent its anger in order to worship the heaven.
In anger, hundreds of thousands of troops once again marched out of the fortress, killing Uma as a sacrifice. So these days, Uma from Tupuchidan down, are all trembling with fear and fear all day long. But Hetao has been unable to even fart for such a long time.
No one was spared. Even the Canglang Legion at Yumen Pass did not leave the Yumen Gate with their filial piety, which finally made Tupuchidan breathe a sigh of relief.
However, no one thinks that the Hetao will cease to exist. The Hetao descends from Haotian. To put it nicely, it means that the grievances are clear and unyielding. To put it worse, it means that the enemy will repay the debt with blood. I think back then, Haotian followed him for millions of dollars.
People he never knew were able to cross the river eastward at great risk. Now millions of people in Dingzhou have died innocently in the battle. Even the most respected Qin Tianyi in Hetao has perished with the city. It can be imagined that the whole Hetao is full of people.
What sadness and indignation. The calmer it is before the storm, the crazier it will be when the heavy rain comes.
Moreover, Hetao has never suffered such humiliation since it was established in Dingzhou. Three legions were completely wiped out. I am afraid no one in Hetao can swallow this breath.
When the Hetao Kingdom was established, the most angry one was naturally the Qingfeng royal family. In the past, although the three major families did not take the imperial court seriously, even the most arrogant Yizhou Song family did not dare to openly quarrel with the imperial court. And here in Hetao
Although he had parted ways with the imperial court before, he was the most deferential to the imperial court among the four princes. But now, even if he thinks about it with his big toe, he should understand the attitude of Hetao.
The establishment of a country in Hetao means that the Qingfeng Empire is no longer able to control the situation in the entire China in name, and the dignity of the royal family has disappeared. The most important thing is that since Hetao dared to establish a country, the imperial court was unable to make a strong counterattack.
This will inevitably stimulate other princes in the country, especially the Song family in Yizhou. Once such a chain reaction occurs, Qingfeng will really be doomed.
However, the power of the Qingfeng royal family has now fallen to its lowest point since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Suzaku Army and the Imperial Guard Army were completely wiped out, causing the Tiandu Shengjing's defense power to drop unprecedentedly. Except for the Eastern Army, Emperor Zhongxing did not have any troops at all.
Available troops. There are still 150,000 soldiers in the Southern Military Region, but Ouyang Jingzhong has to defend the thousand-mile defense line of Xijiang and ensure the safety of the Great Lakes and even the south of the Yangtze River. The troops are already stretched thin and cannot take care of Tiandu Shengjing.
Fortunately, the Holy Sect of Paradise and the Zhang family of Huaishui have also been seriously injured, and the Li family of Qinchuan is now trying their best to guard against the Hetao going south, and is temporarily unable to take care of the Holy Capital of Heaven. Even so, the advancing Eastern Army will still greatly expand the defense line.
shrink, otherwise the security of the capital cannot be guaranteed at all.
Although he had no strength, in order to express his position and condemnation of Hetao, Emperor Zhongxing specially found a favorite among his cousins, immediately named him King of Fubei, and asked him to lead a delegation to Hetao.
He reprimanded Haotian and asked him to give up the idea of establishing a country and proclaiming himself emperor. As a result, before the mission set off, King Fubei Liu Jiu, who was appointed as the envoy, was so frightened that he became incontinent and fell ill on the bed. Emperor Zhongxing had no choice but to do so.
, had to replace people. However, every meritorious nobleman who was appointed as an envoy had a pale face. Either he had an old illness and was close to death the next day, or he lost his arms and legs due to various accidents, so this
This was the only way the matter was delayed.
In fact, Emperor Zhongxing also understood that the envoys sent by the empire would definitely be beaten by meat buns and dogs when they arrived at Haotian. If they were lucky, Haotian might pull them down and kill them with just one sentence, and they would be dead. But if they were unlucky, who would
Do you know if Haotian will order the envoy to be eaten alive and killed by Lingchi in front of the mourning hall of God's will?
However, Sui Han sees the queen withered, and the upright minister knows the loyal minister. At this time, someone is finally willing to take the lead and recommend himself as the envoy of the mission. And these two people will at least give three points of respect to Hetao.
Three days later, the envoys of the Qingfeng royal family and the envoys of the Qinchuan Li family stepped out of the gate of Yinfeng Castle, and then slowly stepped onto the territory of Hetao under the gaze of Li Xiaoran.
"I didn't expect that I would come to Hetao in this way this time. It's time and fate." One of the handsome young men sighed loudly.
Another young man nodded: "Who would have thought that something like this would happen before. Xiao Mo, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more. What we can do now is to resolve the conflict between the two parties as much as possible."
Li Xiaomo sighed deeply in his heart. He had always had a good relationship with Haotian and others. Especially during the battle in the southeast, the two sides were close comrades who could commit life and death. Therefore, he also knew better about Haotian and the people below, and their trust.
What kind of virtue does Ke and others have? Dragons have reverse scales, and they will be killed if they touch them. For Haotian and others, God's will is their reverse scales. Not to mention peeling off the reverse scales, just touching them a little, Haotian will do it
furious.
Hetao is a group of lunatics, and Qin Tianyi is the only scabbard. Now that the scabbard is gone, who else in the world can control this sharp sword?
Originally, when the coalition forces attacked Yanzhou that day, Li Xiaomo was planning to go to see Haotian, but when he walked out of the sight of Li Tieming and Li Xiaoran, he suddenly felt at a loss. He knew very well about the fall of Dingzhou and Qin Tianyi's plan.
What does dying in battle mean to Hetao? Going to see Haotian now can reduce his responsibilities, but it is also equivalent to drawing a clear line with the family. After all, he is the young master of the Li family in Qinchuan.
While carrying this honor, he was also responsible for the hopes of nearly tens of millions of people in Qinchuan. Therefore, he finally returned to Qinchuan. He was waiting for an opportunity. This opportunity may be slim, but for the sake of the Li family in Qinchuan
He must work hard for the future.
"Lan Xin, what are you thinking about?" Li Xiaomo couldn't help but asked curiously when he found that Sheng Lan Xin was a little absent-minded.
Shenglan said in her heart: "I didn't think anything of it. It's just that when we came to Hetao before, both the King of Jingbei and the Princess of Jingbei treated each other with courtesy. Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has passed away, the King of Jingbei and the soldiers of Hetao are also
In the midst of grief and anger, Lan Xin really doesn’t know how they will treat us.”
The people who took the initiative to ask Emperor Zhongxing to be emperor were naturally Sheng Lanxin and Chu Lianfeng. They had formed a very deep friendship with Hetao since the Battle of Hukou. Haotian missed the old friendship very much, and the two of them had a close relationship with each other.
It doesn't matter what happened this time, Haotian will not embarrass them.
Chu Lianfeng laughed: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. Why do you two think too much? Now that we are here, how to accept the move is what King Jingbei should consider.
.Well, the Hetao cavalry has arrived, let’s see how they deal with it.”
At the moment when the three of them were talking, a guard of Hetao cavalry had appeared in the sight of the three. For some unknown reason, after Haotian returned to Hetao, the inspection range of the Hetao cavalry still did not go beyond the Red Snake.
The military demarcation line agreed between the legion and Li Xiaoran.
"Li Xiaomo of Qinchuan, Chu Lianfeng of Mingjian Villa, and Shenglan Xin of Yaochi Jade Palace are here to express their condolences to their old friend. Which general in Hetao are you?" After all, Li Xiaomo is the young master of the Li family in Qinchuan, with a distinguished temperament and demeanor.
No one could reach him. Although he was about two miles away, his voice still came out far away, and every word was clear.
"It turns out that it's General Li, the young master of the village and the Holy Fairy who are here. Our Hetao is really in full bloom. This general is Heng Hui, the general of the Falcon Legion, and I'm here to welcome these three great leaders." Heng Hui.
Although his voice was not as clear and distant as Li Xiaomo's, it was so powerful that it broke through the sky, and the heroic demeanor was clearly visible.
"General Li?" Li Xiaomo frowned, and a look of worry appeared on the faces of Chu Lianfeng and Sheng Lanxin. Henghui is a well-known general in Hetao, and his words also represent Hetao to a large extent.
Meaning. Obviously, Hetao still has feelings for the three of them, but he treats Li Xiaomo and the Qinchuan Li family separately, which is not a good thing for Li Xiaomo.
The distance of two miles was reached in an instant. Before Henghui's voice had completely dissipated, a thousand Hetao cavalrymen had already rushed in front of the three of them. They saw Henghui's whip drawing a beautiful circle in the air, and a thousand cavalrymen had already strangled them.
Ma stood and looked at the three people in front of him quietly.
Although they came at a high speed, there was no sound of exhaustion or rapid breathing among the Hetao cavalry. They stopped suddenly, but the whole team did not panic at all. Everyone was in an orderly manner. Everyone had a band on their foreheads.
Xiaobu has a hemp rope around his waist and a black gauze on his left arm. Everyone's expression is solemn and solemn, and everyone's eyes are equally sharp and firm. That implicit domineering,
Even Li Xiaomo and others were suffocated for a moment.
"Is this the elite of Hetao's elite soldiers?" Li Xiaomo took a breath. Although he had a close relationship with Hetao, he didn't spend much time in contact with the elite soldiers of Hetao. Among the nearly one million soldiers in Hetao,
The most elite are naturally the six main legions in Hetao. He originally thought that Qinchuan's cavalry was already a rare elite division in the world, but compared with the cavalry in front of him, they were still a little too young. This momentum, this
Murderous aura can only be possessed by those who have experienced the critical moment of life and death on the battlefield of iron and blood.
"Has the general already heard about our arrival?" Sheng Lanxin asked. She did not believe that Henghui was patrolling here. After all, Henghui was a senior general at the level of the Hetao Legion. Even if he was patrolling the territory, he would not
Maybe with only this few cavalry.
Henghui did not dismount, but just sat on the horse and clasped his fists and said: "The Holy Fairy is right. My lord has already learned the news of the three coming. The three are our distinguished guests in the Hetao and our friends, so my lord
I specially asked the marshal to come to greet you. Three of you please, my marshal will be in front to greet you."
Chu Lianfeng had a different relationship with Hetao, so he spoke a little casually. He smiled and asked: "My lord? Didn't you say that the prince is preparing to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor? Why do you still call me lord?"
"My lord has an order. Until there is revenge, everything is just a cloud. The commander-in-chief, sir, and others all take it for granted." Henghui said nonchalantly.
Li Xiaomo had something on his mind, and Sheng Lanxin had an inconvenient identity, so it was Chu Lianfeng who was always talking to Henghui. Chu Lianfeng was originally good at both civil and military skills, while Henghui had been influenced by worship for a long time, and he also had a bit of bravery.
Elegant, and since neither of them is a quarrelsome person, they don't have too many scruples, so the two sides talked quite well with each other.
Unknowingly, the three of them had arrived at the remaining city of Qingyun under the escort of Henghui. After Zhu Zhao, Li Bicheng and others bloodbathed Qingyun that day, a fire burned the place into ruins. After the Hetao army returned, due to the incident
There are so many, so they just collect the remains of the people one by one. As for the ruins of the county, there is no time to clean up. However, where Li Xiaomo and others can see, many Falcon Legion soldiers are working hard, but they are not
Know what the other person is doing.
"Lan Gaoping welcomes you three. My commander-in-chief is paying homage to his ancestors in the mansion. If you don't mind, I can take the three of you there." The one who came to greet the three of them was Lan, who was in Fengjing's left and right arms.
Gao Ping.
Li Xiaomo nodded, got off his horse, and followed Lan Gaoping together with Chu Lianfeng. Looking at the smoky Qingyun ruins in front of them that could no longer identify the appearance of the county town, the three of them were filled with emotion.
A year ago, they stayed here for nearly a month. At that time, there was a mass wedding of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Hetao. The scene was so magnificent. In just one year, this place turned into a hell on earth.
In the back garden of Hao Mansion, Li Xiaomo and others finally saw Fengjing. The reason why they could still tell that this was the back garden of Hao Mansion was because Fengjing was kneeling in front of him dressed in filial piety. There was a new tomb there.
There were two slightly raised earthen mounds next to it. Li Xiaomo recalled it with some difficulty, and then he remembered that this should be the tomb of Hao Feifei and his wife. I still remember that there used to be a large green banana forest here, but now
There is nothing left.
Hearing the footsteps of the three people, Fengjing stood up calmly and patted the soil above his knees. Fengjing turned around and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I made a bet with my husband, saying that it would be three days at most."
You will come soon. Haha, as expected, I finally defeated Mr.
Li Xiaomo raised his eyebrows: "Shuai Feng is so sure? So he came here to greet us in person?"
"Because you are our friends in the Loop." Feng Jing shook his head and said, "But in fact, I came here mainly to pay homage to my ancestors. I have been alone since I was a child, but fortunately my lord and eldest sister took me in. I don't care about my commander.
He comes from a humble background and is treated equally with the lord and eldest sister. Uncle Quan watched me grow up. Now that Uncle Quan has passed away, I naturally want to come to pay my respects. I was planning to come after returning to Hetao.
It’s just that I just wandered around the Bloody Plateau a few days ago, and I’ve just returned.”
Li Xiaomo and the other three looked at each other and noticed the coldness in each other's eyes. They took a deep breath. Although they felt that now was not the time to talk, Li Xiaomo still opened his mouth and said: "Feng Shuai, Qingyun and Dingzhou's
I, Li Xiaomo, cannot absolve myself of the blame for this matter, especially Her Royal Highness..."
"My eldest sister has been on a three-month safari and is resting now. She doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders." Feng Jing suddenly cut off Li Xiaomo's words.
Li Xiaomo and others broke out in cold sweat this time. Qin Tianyi died on the battlefield. They all knew that it would definitely stimulate the sensitive nerves of the military, government and civilians in Hetao. But they never expected that Lian Fengjing would be so calm.
The top and most cautious generals will become like this.
Suddenly, Li Xiaomo felt that something was wrong. Feng Jing had just returned from Bloody Gaoyuan. Logically speaking, it was God's will to mourn a great loss. As his younger brother, he should have stayed in front of the mourning hall for a few days before leaving. However, he did not care about his fatigue.
Is there any purpose in coming to Qingyun? Besides, among the senior officials in Hetao, the most sensible and calm one is Fengjing. How could he be insane?
Looking at Fengjing's eyes that were full of meaning and vaguely expectant, Li Xiaomo suddenly realized that Fengjing had indeed come specially to wait for them. And what he wanted to convey was that Hetao had gone crazy now, so
After arriving at the Hetao, I and others must pay attention to their words.
"Fengjing is indeed a trustworthy friend." Under Li Xiaomo's hint, Chu Lianfeng and Chu Lianfeng also understood what Fengjing meant, and then let out a heartfelt sigh.
However, looking at Feng Jing's still uneasy brows, several people's hearts were still heavy. Feng Jing's status in the Loop was extremely high. If it weren't for the fact that she knew that she was powerless, she would definitely not adopt such a method to hint to herself.
Three people. It seems that the situation in the Loop is indeed crazy and serious.
