After waiting for half the night, there was still no news.
Zhang Yi walked out of the study and said, "I've tidied up. I'm going to have a rest."
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait any longer?"
The follower said.
"No need!"
Zhang Yi entered the bedroom, lay down, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Carefree.
In the early morning of the next day, he woke up in high spirits, washed up, had breakfast, and went to the top of the city.
"Last night, a broken army came back and said it was defeated."
He Yin's eyes were bloodshot.
"Didn't sleep all night?"
"yes."
"Actually, if Yin's time is not here, I will know that they are defeated. However, it is impossible to surround them all with Zhou Jian's small force."
"The envoy is saying..."
"Yang Xuan is here."
Puff puff puff!
In the distance, a muffled thunderous sound came.
Then, smoke and dust enveloped the distance.
A black line slowly appeared on the horizon.
The rising sun shines on the black line, and long spears are carried on the wall, making it look like a dense forest.
Puff puff puff!
The footsteps gradually approached, like thunder, and like countless giant beasts walking.
The cavalry is coming.
The cavalry bypassed the infantry and rushed all the way to the city.
Then the infantry arrived.
"Stop!"
Amidst the sharp shouts, footsteps sounded loudly.
boom!
Immediately, the smoke and dust billowed, as if a giant dragon was swimming under the smoke.
The array stopped.
The world has also become quiet.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and the Chinese military flag gradually became clear.
"It's Yang Ziqi!"
The city was dead silent.
Everyone knows the result after this big flag appears.
A general came to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, please block the city gate?"
This is a common practice to avoid being exploited by opponents.
After being blocked, it was also a signal to inform the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight to the death with the enemy.
Zhang Yi shook his head, "No need."
He Yin was surprised, "Your Majesty, if the enemy army crashes the car..."
Once the city gate is knocked open and the Northern Xinjiang Army's cavalry rushes into the city, the battle will be over.
"Every day you wake up and have breakfast. After breakfast, your entourage is waiting outside. When you come to the state house, the officials must be saluting and the disciples are laughing... It is like this every day. I can predict what will happen next with my eyes closed.
.The same goes for an attack. Yang Xuan certainly expected that our army had blocked the city gate, so he went straight to the city."
Zhang Yi pointed to the outside of the city, "Inside the city gate, use some light debris to block the cracks in the door, and hold on first. When the enemy is slack...the whole army will attack."
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Yang Xuan liked to use strange weapons in his early years, so I will give him a surprise this time."
"Take orders."
Yang Xuan of the Chinese Army said: "There are three thousand less defenders, and some of them are focusing on one thing and not the other. Once we capture it, all the cities will be destroyed without attack."
This is the characteristic of Longhua Prefecture...Zhang Yi adopted the method of strengthening the main body and weakening the branches, concentrating the main force in the city, while the rest of the city's troops were loose and vulnerable.
"My lord, our army is powerful. If he disperses his forces, it will be easier for him to be defeated individually." Jiang Cunzhong said.
"You are decisive. You know you are outmatched, but I want to bite you anyway. But this bite is not easy to bite. If you are not careful, you will have a mouth full of teeth."
Yang Xuan looked at the city, "Since Zhang Yi is a proud man, he will not be aggrieved and beg for his life. Reinforcements will arrive in ten days, but last night he failed to attack the baggage train and lost three thousand men. He knows that he
We can't hold it for ten days. In this case, we are hanging on for a breath and resisting...how do you feel, Master?"
I am not your subordinate!
This was the first time Ning Yayun was asked about the war. He wanted to refuse, but then he thought of A Liang.
If I refuse, Zitai can leave A Liang at home next time, that’s all.
Lao Shuai Guo reluctantly thought for a while, "If it were me, I would definitely attack with all my strength. Even if I die, I must die in an honorable manner, instead of cowering and passively being beaten!"
The two competed with each other on their acting skills.
Yang Xuan nodded, "That's it, attack!"
"The Duke's order is to attack the city!"
Amid huge shouts, the flag waved.
The trebuchet shows its power.
Next is the crossbow array.
Before engaging the enemy, the defenders received a blow to the head.
"The scouts went around to check the movement of enemy reinforcements."
Yang Xuan is thinking about the overall situation.
Ning Xing joined forces as he expected. He had to capture Longhua Prefecture before the enemy's vanguard arrived. Otherwise, the army would be exhausted and would collapse if the enemy attacked him.
This is also the reason why he just arrived last night and launched the attack before waiting for the army to repair.
The old thief came over, smelling of blood.
"The three families in Ningxing have joined forces. However, Lin Ya still has a back-up force outside Ningxing City, and the same is true for He Lianchun. As for the eldest princess, she has tens of thousands of troops and has not been mobilized this time."
"You talk about letting go of the old grudges, but you have to be prepared for the other party to stab you in the waist. He Lianchun is too fat, otherwise he can drive and conquer in person."
As for Changling, her power is mainly in the court.
That was He Lianfeng's legacy to her. Those ministers were dissatisfied with the emperor and Lin Ya, so they gathered under her banner and waved the flag and shouted.
boom!
The trebuchets smashed a battlement, but the defenders covered the oncoming opponents with a hail of arrows.
"No matter who is the emperor, Lin Ya's family and the emperor are mortal enemies. Therefore, although they agreed to join forces, they have to keep their troops to contain the other party." Han Ji said: "In this way, Beiliao will not be able to deal with us with all its strength."
This is life!
Yang Xuan knew that this was his best strategic period.
If either Lin Ya or Helian Chun falls and the other party successfully integrates all the forces in Northern Liao, he will be in big trouble.
Before Helian Peak, everyone in Northern Liao was united, but at that time Pei Jiu was guarding the northern frontier, and the attack forced Northern Liao to flee in panic.
Li Mi and his son destroyed Qiancheng, while in Northern Liao, Lin Ya rose up and effectively restrained the emperor.
This is the general trend!
The momentum is booming!
In me!
Yang Xuan's eyes flashed with brilliance.
He even felt that this was destiny.
"Thank you Lin Ya!"
Han Ji smiled and said: "Yes, speaking of it, Lin Ya is our benefactor."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. At this moment, this sentence is particularly powerful and ironic.
"Lin Jun too." Jiang Heer added.
Then, wait for the boss to praise you.
Yang Xuan nodded, "He'er has made a lot of progress."
After following Yang Xuan for so long, all he saw every day were major civil and military events in Northern Xinjiang. Jiang Heer would be spanked if he didn't make progress.
On the first day, the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
Zhang Yi stood on the top of the dilapidated city, looking at the Northern Xinjiang army retreating slowly, and said: "Many people in Ningxing say that Yang Xuan is nothing more than this. Let them come and take a look now, I am afraid that many people will be scared to death."
He Yin sighed, "The three families in Ningxing are fighting. It's either one or the other. The civil and military officials have to go to one side. Officials know how to attack each other all day long. Who remembers the overall situation? Once they encounter a big event, they will only speak out without shame. If
We are in trouble, but we are helpless. If things continue like this, your Majesty, the Liao Dynasty will be in danger."
"Da Liao has been in danger for a long time!" Zhang Yi said unceremoniously: "The deposed prince was so ruthless that the late emperor lost all his heirs. In the end, the taller among the dwarfs was able to pull His Majesty up.
His Majesty has been hiding in Tanzhou to avoid trouble for many years and has few connections. After he succeeded to the throne, he could only pull out the eldest princess as his own banner. However, his majesty could not help but be suspicious, causing the eldest princess to rebound, so that
It has become the third force. If the late emperor knew this, he might as well make the eldest princess the crown prince."
"Empress?"
"So what about the empress? When Emperor Wu ruled the Tang Dynasty, was he worse than a man? Moreover, the eldest princess had been doing nothing for many years, but once she became independent, you see, there was nothing your Majesty could do, and there was nothing Lin Ya could do. Unfortunately, the late emperor refused.
"
"After all, the empress is too shocking."
"I heard that the late emperor was tempted, but it was He Lianhong who dissuaded him."
"What's the reason?" Hearing this secret, He Yin almost forgot about the crisis.
"The eldest princess, Wen Qing, lacks decisiveness."
"This news...can't be a rumor, right?"
"Maybe!"
Zhang Yi looked at the retreating Northern Xinjiang Army with a bleak look in his eyes, "This is the way the world is. One wrong step will lead to another wrong step. The late emperor had many things to consider, and Lin Ya was the first. He was worried that the eldest princess would not be able to stop her from becoming the emperor.
Lin Ya's counterattack. And His Majesty has been in crisis since he was a child, but he can survive until now, which shows his extraordinary skill."
"The envoy is saying that your Majesty was able to obtain the throne because he was able to survive to this day under the oppression of the late emperor during those years?"
"right."
"Damn, this is really life!"
"Who says it isn't!"
The two of them remained silent until the blood-red sunset covered the earth.
“The sunset is magnificent!”
Zhang Yi looked at the horizon greedily.
He knew that the number of times he could see such a magnificent scene was limited.
The Northern Xinjiang Army slowly retreated until they reached the main camp.
Yang Xuan did not enter the camp, but stayed outside the camp.
"Everyone, come in!"
Yang Xuan ordered Lin Feibao and others to enter the camp, "Headmaster, would you like to take a walk with us?"
Lin Feibao glanced at Ning Yayun before going in.
Ning Yayun shook her head and said, "I want to go back and lie down now."
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Yang Xuan asked.
"not bad."
Ning Yayun had been thinking about the scene she saw last night: lightning was like a ferocious silver dragon, winding and roaring above Yang Xuan's head.
To others, this is just a coincidence, but who is Ning Yayun?
He thought about it until early in the morning and couldn't fall asleep or fall asleep. Although a person like him wouldn't be so sleepy if he didn't sleep for three to five days, he still wanted to think about it alone.
The two rode horses to circle outside the camp.
"I see you are a little depressed?"
Ning Yayun said casually, but she was actually lying.
"No, I'm a little excited."
Yang Xuan said: "In Chang'an, the emperor shook hands with Yang Songcheng and others. In Ningxing, He Lianchun, Lin Ya and others put aside their disputes and joined forces to fight against the enemy. All this is because of Northern Xinjiang, because of me. One person is involved.
The world is in turmoil, and I’m a little... feeling cold at high places!"
"If Chang'an and Beiliao join forces, you will be defeated." Ning Yayun sighed: "It's said that high places are too cold. Do those in power have to cultivate their face to be as thick as a city wall?"
Yang Xuan touched his nose and said, "It is impossible for Chang'an to join forces with Beiliao at the moment, otherwise, public opinion will crush them to death."
The Northern Xinjiang Army was dealing with the Northern Liao, the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an actually joined forces with the Northern Liao... Word spread that Li Mi no longer needed to be a man, and everyone shouted for beatings.
"Aren't you afraid that they will join forces secretly?" Ning Yayun shook her head, "Don't think that I am doing nothing in the mountain gate. Since I was tied to Northern Xinjiang by you, I can only abandon Yun Danfengqing and pay attention to the general trend of the world from time to time. Poor old man
How free and easy..."
"Emperors are all face-saving. At present, Chang'an wants to join forces with Beiliao, but there is no great cause. The most they can do is send envoys."
"Where's the containment?"
"Containment is inevitable, for example, strengthening the strength of the garrison in the surrounding states and counties in northern Xinjiang to contain our northern Xinjiang army."
Li Mi was able to do such a thing.
"What if during this expedition, all the armies around Northern Xinjiang move together?" Ning Yayun sighed, "In the eyes of outsiders, today's Qin Guogong is very glorious, but in my eyes, you are suffering every day. Why bother?
?”
"The master wants to persuade me to give up all this?" Yang Xuan asked lightly.
"If you give up all this, the world is so big that there will be no place for you." Ning Yayun shook her head, "I want to say, can't it be slower? You are only in your twenties, you have a great time! What are you in a hurry for?"
"I also want to play it safe, but time is not waiting for me!" Yang Xuan said sincerely: "In Chang'an, the emperor was stupid, but at least he could check and balance Yang Songcheng and other aristocratic family members. After he left, and the Yue King came to power, he became the leader of Yang Songcheng and others.
Puppet. Master, at that time, who will belong to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Belongs to a noble family!" Ning Yayun clasped her hands behind her back, "Belongs to Yang Songcheng."
"Look at the history books. Whenever an emperor declines and his power is deprived of power, the dynasty is not far away from being destroyed. A short period of twenty or thirty years can only last forty or fifty years. Headmaster, I am not worried about myself."
Yang Xuan pointed to the camp, "I'm worried about the world."
"Hey! Why are you so anxious!" Lao Shuaiguo said: "The tide ebbs and flows, and countries rise and fall. This is destiny."
"What is destiny?"
"Destiny is the outcome destined by God."
"In other words, everything in this world has been predestined?"
Ning Yayun was silent.
Yang Xuan said: "In my opinion, before the age of fifty, you should not believe in fate. My fate is determined by me and not by God. After the age of fifty, I should recuperate and obey the fate of God."
"You still want to dance for more than twenty years?" Ning Yayun glanced at him.
"Maybe it will be longer."
"God will slap you to death!"
"Master, people are being born and dying every day."
"I don't have time to compete with you, so tell me! Why are you looking for me?" Ning Yayun shook her head, a little upset.
Then, he suddenly became alert and thought, why is this old man so upset?
Metaphysics emphasizes relaxing the mind and not having distracting thoughts.
Yang Xuan didn't know Lao Shuaiguo's state of mind at the moment, so he said: "Chang'an and Ning Xing are both attacking. I'm excited, but I'm also a little worried. Doesn't the master have some kind of qi-gazing technique? Can you show it to me?"
Ning Yayun pointed at him and laughed angrily, "I have been learning Qi Watching Technique for decades, but I have never used it. Since I got to know you, I have used it many times."
"Isn't it just for practicing secret skills? Otherwise, what's the point of practicing them?" Yang Xuan said sincerely: "At most, I can go back and let A Liang go to the Metaphysics Mountain Gate a few more times."
For the sake of his own great cause, he has to work hard for A Liang.
"This is not non-negotiable!"
The integrity of Lao Shuaiguo is gone in A Liang.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Back off!"
Yang Xuan backed away, "Is that enough?"
"Back off again!" Ning Yayun vented her anger deliberately.
He squinted his eyes and activated his Qi-gazing technique, "Back off again."
Yang Xuan continued to retreat.
"Headmaster, is that enough?"
Yang Xuan asked.
Ning Yayun didn't answer.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Xuan blankly.
In his sight, he saw the familiar dragon.
Jiaolong is the overlord of the party, and Ning Yayun knows this.
Therefore, he always felt that Yang Xuan would separatize Northern Xinjiang in the future, which was seen from this vision.
But at this moment...
He murmured: "Oh my God, what did I see?"
Under the brilliant sunset, the dragon raised its left paw.
Pretend to attack!
And that claw.
It’s actually transforming!
Three-clawed dragon!
But the dragon in front of me gave birth to a fourth claw!
Three-clawed dragon!
Four claws, what are those?
