Xiang Xing was silent. He didn't have a close relationship with He Huairen. After all, one of them was in the Navy and the other in the Army. However, he still admired He Huairen's sentiment. However, he never understood why He Huairen himself died on the battlefield.
But he asked his son to go to Hetao. He was also quite disgusted with He Bugui's big call to the old navy. As an orthodox soldier, he didn't like intrigues or thinking too much. He was a soldier, so he
As long as he understands his identity, he does not want to participate in any political struggle.
He Bugui did have a big factor in the decline of Qingfeng Navy. Since the time of Emperor Wu Lie, the He family has been a famous water warfare family in Qingfeng. Almost every commander of the Jiaolong Legion was born in
The He family. Therefore, the navy almost became the private soldier of the He family. He Huairen died in the battle, and He Bugui became the only survivor of the He family. He climbed up and shouted, and the soldiers below naturally followed him like a shadow. Plus
With the support of the Zhang family on the Huaishui River, the Hetao Naval Division was able to develop so rapidly.
Seeing that Xiang Xing was really about to leave, Bao Feng said quickly: "Commander of the Army, let's wait for Mr. Jun. We can't relax without Mr. Jun accompanying us."
After Zhongxing Emperor Jiu killed the minister, Bao Feng and others became more concerned about Xiangxing's safety. Now, it is known to the whole world that An Yongchang is the brother of Dikang Xinzhi, the leader of the Eastern Japan Kingdom Dekang.
The emperor himself was quite aware of it. However, Emperor Zhongxing, who was in a hurry and sought medical treatment, still wanted to drag Dongbo into the water, so he did not reveal An Yongchang's identity and continued to discuss military and state affairs with him. However, Bao Feng and others did not care about An Yongchang.
Yongchang was very worried. They were worried about Xiang Xing's safety. Therefore, every time Xiang Xing went to see Emperor Zhongxing, they asked Jiutian Yushenjian Jun Weiming to accompany him. After all, Jun Weiming is one of the few people in the Holy Capital of Tiandu.
A top master who can compete with An Yongchang. If he is allowed to use his famous skill Nine Heavens Divine Arrow without any scruples, even if the opponent is An Yongchang, he may not die but will be seriously injured.
Xiang Xing smiled freely: "That's not necessary. If Your Majesty wants to kill me, Xiang Xing, there are plenty of opportunities, and there is no need for such means. You should be optimistic, the Loop will not arrive for the time being, but be careful to guard against spies coming in and out."
Seeing Xiang Xing striding away so gracefully, Bao Feng suddenly asked: "Lao Hou, why do you think we stick to the Holy Capital of Tiandu?"
Hou Zhengchun was a little confused when Bao Feng asked him. Yes, why do they insist on guarding the Holy Capital of Tiandu? The imperial court has long been corrupt. The emperor is stupid and treacherous, killing loyal ministers and innocent people indiscriminately. The entire Holy Capital of Tiandu has become
There is no justice and morality to speak of. If they say they are loyal to the royal family, I am afraid no one will believe it.
If it is for pay, this is even more impossible. The soldiers of the Eastern Legion have not received even a penny of pay for three months. If Xiang Xing hadn't been watching here, I'm afraid the entire legion would have mutinied long ago.
If it is for the sake of national justice and the people of the world, then even they themselves feel ashamed to say it. So, what is it for?
Bao Feng threw his sword aside and sat directly on a battlement, looking at the vast sky with confusion in his eyes: "I don't know why we are holding on. In fact, I really don't want to fight with the Loop.
In battle, I would rather we lead the army to attack the Holy Sect of Paradise and then die on the battlefield than I would like to fight with Hetao. They are real men, and we cannot compare with them at all."
Hou Zhengchun also followed his example and sat down, resting his legs on another battlement, and said with emotion: "Yes, when we were fighting on the Yuzhou Road, we and Hetao fought side by side many times. Every time I think of it,
The scene of fighting with them made my blood boil. In fact, there is really no need for us to go to war with Hetao. If possible, I really hope that we can fight with them outside the Great Wall. That is where a soldier truly belongs."
For a moment, the two senior generals of the Eastern Army were all confused. They didn't know what they were fighting for, but they had to resolutely protect the city. They wanted to know what the reason was. The heavy rain soon started pouring.
It came down and completely soaked the two people's clothes. However, the two people remained motionless. They may represent the mentality of most soldiers of the Eastern Legion now.
In a corner of the tower that the two of them couldn't see, there was a lonely woman standing. She just passed by accidentally, but after listening to the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but be stunned. Perhaps the bystanders knew that she
It was very clear what happened between the two of them.
After all, the Eastern Legion is one of the oldest legions of the Qingfeng Imperial Family. Although they have a solid camp and smooth soldiers, they have always been soldiers of the Qingfeng Empire. Loyalty to the empire and the Liu family has become an instinct for them. This has been engraved in their bones.
Their instinct makes them unwilling to betray the empire no matter what the circumstances. The reason why they stick to Tiandu Shengjing is more of a kind of inertia. Since they are stationed here, they must fulfill their responsibilities.
.
In fact, she is quite helpless about the current situation in this country. However, she is different from Bao Feng and others because she is Tianfeng Yu, the contemporary head of Yaochi Jade Palace. Or, you can call her another name, Yu
Princess Liu Yu. She is also the youngest sister of Emperor Shenzong, Liu Yu.
Compared with Bao Feng and others, she can't let go and ignore the situation of Tiandu Shengjing. However, she can't control so much now. Emperor Zhongxing has gone completely crazy. Several of her brothers have died in the battle.
Either she was killed by her nephew Jiu, and she had completely despaired of this family. However, she was a member of the royal family after all, and there was no way she could abandon this place.
Where is the future? In the pouring rain, Tian Fengyu was lost.
It was raining heavily, and it was still noon, and the sky suddenly darkened. On the long official road, a group of elite cavalry was escorting several luxurious-looking carriages. There was the sound of heavy rain hitting the hood, and the shouts of knights on horseback.
, the long neighs inadvertently made by the galloping war horses, mixed into one.
"Sir, Yinfeng Castle has arrived. General Li Xiao, commander of the Red Snake Legion, has come to greet us." A cavalryman shouted outside the carriage.
"It's windy and rainy, so let's avoid these formalities. Hurry up and enter the customs. We can bear it, and the two princes can't bear it either." A slightly older voice often came from inside. Hearing this, the cavalry waved their whips and shouted loudly
He shouted: "Your Majesty has orders, enter the pass immediately. General Li will come to see you later."
The gate of Yinfeng Castle has been opened for a long time, so there is no need for the cavalry to shout. In these days, this gate has not been closed. That day, Haotian's Qingyun passed through Yinfeng Castle. Because the gate was too short, the upper part was specially demolished.
After Li Xiao took over this place, he was too lazy to build it, so the city gate remained open.
The heavy rain was still pouring down, but outside the gate of the castle, two rows of cavalry were lined up neatly. No matter how windy or rain beat, all the soldiers remained motionless. It was not until all the carriages entered the Yinfeng Castle that the two rows of cavalry slowed down.
Close the team.
"This is really a crazy weather. I have never seen such weather in my entire life." Inside the carriage, the old man lowered the curtains and said.
A charming woman next to him gave him an annoyed look: "For most of your life, you have only been in your early fifties, and you are two years younger than me. Why rely on your old age to show off your strength? Xiangcheng, smile a little lower, don't
Noisy two kids!”
Chu Xiangcheng smiled sarcastically. There were few people in the whole Hetao who dared to speak to him like this. However, the person in front of her was definitely one of them. Moreover, she dared to say this not only to herself, but also to all the senior officials in the Hetao.
.
"Sister-in-law, don't you want to liven up the atmosphere? By the way, are the two children awake?" Chu Xiangcheng said quickly.
The only one who can be called sister-in-law by Chu Xiangcheng is Luo Xiang's concubine He Yu. He Yu can also be regarded as a miserable person. Although he has been with Luo Xiang for so many years, he has never had children. A few months ago, his younger brother
He Fu's whole family died for their country in the Battle of Dingzhou, and they were also killed in what they considered to be God's will. If it weren't for the support of the two brothers Hao Jin and Hao An, He Yu really didn't know how he would have survived.
A few days ago, when Chu Xiangcheng heard that Qinchuan had surrendered, he was ready to head south. He knew very well that since Qinchuan had surrendered, there would be no barrier for the Holy Capital of Heaven. Only with the marching Eastern Army, there would be no way
It was impossible to defend Tiandu Shengjing. Therefore, he had to go south immediately, not only to visit Xiang Xing, an old friend, but more importantly, he was afraid that his brother would do something stupid. Now among the senior officials in Hetao, they knew about his relationship with Mingjian Villa
Yes, only Luo Xiang and He Yu, even Haotian didn't know. If one day the two sides meet each other, no matter what the outcome, Chu Xiangcheng himself will not feel good.
He Yu heard that Chu Xiangcheng was planning to go south, so he was a little tempted. In fact, the main reason was to bring Hao Jin and Hao An to look for Haotian.
In the past, in the Hetao, although Haotian and others were all away on an expedition, they were taken care of by God, and Xin Jiao, Fu Ruoshui, Liu Yanyancai and others were all there, so the two children did not feel lonely at all. But now, Xin Jiao and Fu
Ruoshui was in the military, but Tianyi, Liu Yan, and others all died in the battle. No one in the entire Hetao could take care of the two children except himself.
Although Hao Jin and Hao An are sensible, they are still young after all. They often wake up in the middle of the night and cry loudly looking for God's will. He Yu, Chu Xiangcheng and others felt that this was not the same thing. After discussing with Bian Zhongxing for a while, they finally decided
Decided to take the two children south. After all, Haotian's car, the Qingyun, was spacious enough, and Xin Jiao and others were all there. With them by their side, the two children would surely get better soon.
Bian Zhongxing attached great importance to the safety of Chu Xiangcheng and his party. Currently, there were only 50,000 soldiers of the Panshi Corps in the six states of Hetao. In order to ensure their safety, he specifically ordered Lanuo to lead 20,000 infantrymen to go south.
Chu Xiangcheng was safely escorted to Yinfeng Castle. Here, Lano will take over the defense of the Red Snake Legion. The Red Snake Legion, which has returned to its full strength, will immediately set off to move south, escorting Chu Xiangcheng and others to Haotian safely.
.
"Sir, we have arrived at our residence. Please get out of the car with Mrs. Luo." La Nuo's voice sounded outside. Hearing the words, Chu Xiangcheng responded quickly, and then he and He Yu picked up a sleeping child.
Got off the carriage.
When he came to the host specially prepared for him by Li Xiao, Li Xiao and the senior generals of the Red Snake Army were already waiting here. When he saw the two brothers Hao Jin holding in their hands, Li Xiao was overjoyed and stepped out in two steps.
He said with joy: "Sir, I didn't expect that the two princes would also..."
Chu Xiangcheng said quickly: "Keep your voice down, their brothers have just fallen asleep. They haven't had a good rest all the way." Chu Xiangcheng's carriage is specially made, and the official road from Yanzhou to Yinfeng Castle has always been
It was spacious and flat, and there was no problem of bumps at all. However, when the two brothers thought that they would soon be able to see their father and several aunts, they immediately became elated, and they were tormented by Chu Xiangcheng a lot along the way.
Hearing this, Li Xiao quickly shut up, signaled to the surrounding generals, and then asked Chu Xiangcheng to sit down.
Chu Xiangcheng was not polite. He had other affairs to ask Li Xiao. However, He Yu was not interested in these at all. Li Xiao was also quite sensible. When he saw He Yu's expression, he immediately asked his own soldiers to take He Yu to the back to rest.
He Yu was already a little sleepy, so he didn't postpone it, but took Hao Jin away from Chu Xiangcheng's arms, which made Chu Xiangcheng a little disappointed.
"What's the recent situation in Yinfeng Castle and Hankang Prefecture in the south?" Chu Xiangcheng asked after taking a sip of tea.
Li Xiao did not dare to neglect Chu Xiangcheng and said honestly: "After the Li family's regular army was wiped out, because our government system did not immediately take over the situation in Hanzhou and Kangzhou, the military directly
Implement military control. However, your Excellency also understands that the military has many shortcomings in managing the place. Fortunately, Li Xiaomo surrendered quickly, so it did not cause too much trouble."
Chu Xiangcheng said nonchalantly: "As for the ordinary people in Qinchuan, since the Lord has orders, we don't need to embarrass them. In terms of government affairs, I have brought some talents here this time. I believe that with the help of the military, we will be able to
Calm will be restored soon. However, we must not show mercy to those with evil intentions."
Li Xiao naturally understood what the old man meant, so he bent down and said: "The general will understand. Those who are exposed will be eradicated immediately without mercy. As for those who are hidden, they will be closely monitored."
Chu Xiangcheng nodded with satisfaction. Li Xiao had been guarding the Yinfeng Mountains for a long time and was one of the first senior generals in Hetao. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was Yun Wen and Yun Wu. However, Chu Xiangcheng always felt that Li Xiao was too bellicose recently.
There is nothing wrong with being determined to take revenge, but being too eager will inevitably cause some trouble.
"Li Xiao. The Red Snake Army has been resting for so many days, and I think it's almost recovered. You and Llano will take over the defense, and then escort me and the two princes south." Chu Xiangcheng said: "By the way, this is the Soul Eater.
Zhu Tun, please transfer the relevant information to him."
Turning around, Chu Xiangcheng said to Zhu Tun again: "Vice Commander Zhu, you must closely monitor the situation in Qinchuan without leaving any loopholes."
Zhu Tun, the skinny deputy commander of the Southwest District of Soul Eater, nodded quickly and said: "Sir, please rest assured that my subordinates will never let down your expectations."
Zhu Tun was transferred to the Southwest District of Soul Eater as the assistant to the new commander Wan Liangcheng after Ganlamujia was promoted some time ago. Due to his outstanding performance in Huai River, this skinny man was valued by Guanying and was specially promoted by two levels.
.
Chu Xiangcheng said with profound meaning: "Don't forget your mission. There are many rats here, and they are very good at digging holes."
Zhu Tun's heart trembled. He naturally understood what Chu Xiangcheng meant, and he quickly bowed and said, "Sir, I can't guarantee that I will be able to notice the movements of every mouse, but at least I will find every mouse hole."
Chu Xiangcheng smiled with satisfaction, but he also understood in his heart that Zhu Tun could not catch every mouse, but it was good to have such confidence.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiangcheng called to Lanuo again: "Lano, Yizhou and Qinchuan have already been conquered, Yinfeng Castle does not need too many garrison troops at all. Government officials will soon take over the two states of Hankang and Qin in the south.
The local administration of Sizhou, Sichuan. This is already our territory in the Hetao. Since the lord has forgiven the crimes of these people, they are our subjects. It is impossible to continue this chaos. You can allocate appropriate troops to assist
The government maintains social order.”
"Remember, if someone dares to do some tricks in private, it doesn't matter who they are. You can do it yourself. I have been following Bian Shuai for so many years. I think I don't need to teach you this."
The corners of Lano's mouth curved into a ferocious arc: "Sir, please rest assured, I will never let you down."
"It's not to disappoint me, but to disappoint the lord. Also, if you can't even get good ratings for this scene and actually lose the face of Bian Shuai, then you'd better not go back to the Loop, otherwise Bian Shuai will definitely steal you
skin!"
The Song family in Yizhou was exterminated, and the Li family in Qinchuan had no choice but to surrender. It only took a month from the Hetao army's attack on Yinfeng Castle to the annihilation of the Song and Li families. Before that,
Even the Holy Sect of Paradise all agreed that the Song and Li families would be the backbone of the resistance against the southward march of Hetao.
In their assumptions, the Song family may be cunning, but the Li family, who will bear the brunt, will definitely resist desperately. If they can use the natural danger of Yinfeng Castle to exhaust the energy of Hetao, then it will not be difficult to form a coalition. However, people calculate
As luck would have it, in just one month's time, one of the two families was dead and the other was defeated, while the Hetao suffered very little loss.
After gaining Li Xiaomo's allegiance, Hetao easily settled the situation in Qinchuan. In addition to the 50,000 infantrymen of the Mushan Division of the Rock Army and the 20,000 cavalry of the Bloody Plateau who were still maintaining order on Yizhou Road, dozens of people in the Hetao
Thousands of main forces gathered in Ezhou, and their troops were directed towards the Holy Capital, the capital of heaven.
The record of the Hetao army proved the judgment of Luo Xiang and others on the situation. As the Hetao army went south, except for the uncertain factor Ouyang Jingzhong of Dahu Road, only the Holy Sect of Paradise could bring some trouble to the Hetao. In the rest of the places,
It was completely devastated, even for the three major aristocratic families.
