The next day, Queen Xixi ordered all officials to go to court to participate in the coronation ceremony. Zhang Xiaowu personally led the troops to invite all officials to the palace.
When the officials saw Princess Xixi sitting on the throne wearing a royal robe, her face was full of confidence and glory. She had been repaired by Zhang Xiaowu when she came, so everyone did not dare to whisper at this time and carefully looked at the one named Yi Guang.
The tall Han general.
"Awahishi should accept the king's trust and serve as the queen. Among you, who is against it?" Zhang Xiaowu yelled. How could anyone dare to object? He asked again: "Who supports it?"
Everyone looked at each other and said, "We all support it."
"Very good." Zhang Xiaowu smiled like a professional mage named Liu Haizhu, which was extremely ugly. The ministers responded with even more ugly smiles.
The enthronement ceremony was simple, but a traditional banquet was indispensable. Everyone had no intention of eating or drinking. They just sat on their seats and held the food as if chewing wax. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say, perhaps because they were worried about the future of this country.
, perhaps because she was worried about it, Queen Xixi suddenly said: "Prince Abrado sent people to kill Prince Aljavin last night, and the father ordered me to eradicate the evil obstacles. Now is the time for the kingdom to be rebuilt, and I still need you, sir."
support, especially since Abrador previously controlled half of the country's business and suppressed his peers. He saw that profitable industries must get a share of the pie. This move not only made everyone's lives difficult, but also put the country into trouble. Now Abrador
He is dead and all his followers have been killed. Who will inherit his business? Who can help me restore the country's economy? Who can do business?"
When the ministers heard this, they immediately became excited. All other lies were false, and only the benefits were real. Previously, Abrado's monopoly operation of buying and selling by force had made many people dissatisfied, but because of his relationship with the royal family, everyone was offended.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak. Queen Xixi killed Abrador, and now she openly informed everyone about it. She must have wanted to share the business with them, so everyone naturally supported her.
"Long live the Queen, long live Queen Xixi, long live, long live!" Only now did everyone truly support Queen Xixi.
Queen Xixi looked at everyone with satisfaction and said: "Okay, in that case, let's discuss it together. I hope everyone will do their best to make suggestions, so that the Kingdom of Shaka can be prosperous!"
At this point, Queen Xixi temporarily took charge of the royal power of the Kingdom of Sharif, but at this time she suddenly heard a terrible news. Sharif's army arrived at Ivory Pass - Sharif had indeed rebelled.
When they heard that Sharif's troops were approaching Ivory Pass, many ministers finally couldn't sit still. The Kingdom of Sharif had a total of 70,000 troops, and 50,000 troops were stationed in the south. Ivory Pass originally had 2,000 defenders, including Colero's two
With 1,500 reinforcements, 50,000 against 5,000, the kingdom's defenders were unable to resist at all.
"It's over, the Kingdom of Shaka is over." Everyone lowered their heads and said in frustration.
Zhang Xiaowu snorted coldly and said: "What are you afraid of? They are just traitors. Your Majesty the Queen, I am willing to lead the entire army to Xiangya Pass! Force Sharif to negotiate for peace."
Princess Xixi placed all her hopes on him and said: "General Yi, if you can force him to negotiate peace, from now on you will be the moon general of the Shaka Kingdom." There are two major positions in the Shaka Kingdom that have been vacant, the day general and the
Moon General is an extremely high honor in the Kingdom of Sharjah. No one has held this title for nearly a hundred years. Sharif had always wanted to be the Sun General, but the old king may have hoped that his son would use the title of Sun General to win over him after he became king.
Sharif didn't expect his son to change his ways and want to go against Sharif.
Zhang Xiaowu ordered 15,000 red-coated troops in the city to attack Xiangya Pass.
After arriving at the Ivory Pass, Colero and the Ivory Pass guard hurriedly came forward and asked how to deal with it. Zhang Xiaowu saw that Sharif's army was stationed in front of the pass and did not attack. He understood that Sharif was probably hesitant, perhaps because he saw the large army.
After seeing the corpses of the prince and the second prince, the anger in his heart was much less. But Zhang Xiaowu believed that since Shali
If the husband is preparing for a crusade, he will definitely carry out the rebellion to the end. He immediately took over the Xiangya Pass and carefully surveyed the terrain. He found that there was a river upstream of the Xiangya Pass, which the locals called the Qimi River. This river was the source of the Shajia River.
There is one branch on the river. Although the water volume is not large, the rainy season has recently begun, and the river water is expected to surge.
Zhang Xiaowu then found Kelailuo. On the one hand, he ordered to build a dam to contain the water in the upper reaches of the river. On the other hand, he asked Kelailuo to write a letter to Sharif, asking him to return to the south and not cause civil strife in the Kingdom of Sharif. Soon, Sharif
When the reply came, he instead asked Colello to help him and work together with the Qing Emperor to welcome the Ming Emperor. Collero smiled bitterly and said that Sharif had made up his mind. We are afraid that the 20,000 people will not be able to hold the ivory barrier.
Sharif has 50,000 of the most elite troops in the Kingdom of Sharif, while Ivory Pass only has 20,000 troops, of which only 7,000 are veterans. How can they withstand the opponent's attack? I'm afraid that the battlefield will last for several days, and the defenders of Ivory Pass will
Will collapse first. Even before the war started, some new soldiers and red-coated soldiers in Ivory Pass began to escape.
"You made a false promise to him, pretended to agree to him, and told Sharif that the Sharif Kingdom is now ruled by Queen Awahishi." Zhang Xiaowu said, "If he insists on attacking, you will make demands on him and you will take control of it in the future.
Half the kingdom's army and wealth."
Collero smiled bitterly and said, "Will he accept it?"
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "He is seizing the kingship with arms. He will definitely kill everyone who may threaten him, including you of course. However, before he succeeds, he will definitely make various promises to you. Let's delay him for a few days.
, when the rainy season comes, they will naturally recede."
The rainy season arrived earlier than expected. That night, a violent storm hit, and the entire Sharif continent was shrouded in heavy rain. In this kind of weather, Sharif naturally hoped to capture the Ivory Pass without any blood. So Sharif communicated with Collero.
A few days later, Sharif was finally annoyed by Collero's "greedy" conditions.
He got angry, so he began to try to send troops to attack Ivory Pass. Zhang Xiaowu asked two veterans to lead a new soldier to guard the pass and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. He himself stood at the juncture holding a long bow, fired fifty bows in a row, and took one away with arrows.
The Southern Army, so much so that Sharif's Southern Army was so frightened by his momentum that they had to retreat for repairs.
Thunderous cheers came from Ivory Pass. Kelailuo was surprised by Zhang Xiaowu's martial arts and couldn't help but admired: "Your archery skills are the most powerful I have ever seen. You can proudly call yourself the number one in the Kingdom of Shaka."
Sharpshooter."
Zhang Xiaowu dismissed this. Who wants to be the marksman of the small island nation of Saga.
After two days of repairs, the sky suddenly cleared up. Sharif sent three sons-in-law with eight thousand elites to start the siege again. Zhang Xiaowu was already standing at the critical moment, aiming at the officers of the Southern Army for sniping. Soon, they tasted the pain again.
Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaowu's sharp shooting, the morale of the defenders was high, and the Southern Army was forced to retreat again after leaving nearly a thousand corpses.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaowu led eight hundred red-coated troops to kill them, followed behind the southern army and killed a lot of people. Although he didn't kill many people, he chased him to the enemy camp, which shocked Sharif. Who would have thought?
Such a brave young general appeared under Colleiro. Sharif immediately sent people to inquire, and everyone said they did not know this person, but some people said that this person was not a member of the Shaka tribe, but a Han who fled to Shaka.
Sharif came up with a plan and immediately sent a message to Zhang Xiaowu, telling him that as long as he was willing to surrender to him, he would marry his youngest and most beautiful daughter to him.
Zhang Xiaowu, who was recruited, couldn't laugh or cry. It seems that the old Sharif really likes to use his daughter to gain connections, but he disagrees with the aesthetics of the Sharjah people. On the occasion of a life-and-death struggle, using his daughter as a bargaining chip, it seems that the two Sharifs are really incompetent.
Already.
Kelailuo laughed and said that it would be better to follow the plan. You pretended to agree, but in fact you led the army to attack. Zhang Xiaowu went to the dam to see that the water level was sufficient, so he accepted the plan, and then sent someone to say that he had 800 men and horses that needed to be reused. Sha Li
My husband was overjoyed when he received the letter.
That night, Zhang Xiaowu led eight hundred archers, armed with oil cans and bows and arrows, quietly lurking out of the customs. When they arrived at the Southern Army camp, they used an open fire as a signal. Sharif's eldest son-in-law came with some people to express condolences. Zhang Xiaowu immediately shouted: "Arrow!"
He first killed Sharif's eldest son-in-law with an arrow, and then eight hundred soldiers shot flaming arrows into the southern army camp, causing the camp to catch fire. The fire lasted all night, and the fire was extinguished by the arrival of heavy rain the next day.
Sharif was deceived by Zhang Xiaowu and lost his eldest son-in-law and three thousand troops. He was immediately furious and personally led the rest of the southern army to attack Xiangya Pass.
Zhang Xiaowu once again stood guard at the critical moment and led his troops to fight against Sharif's fierce attack. The two sides fought so hard that rivers of blood flowed, and corpses almost covered the Ivory Pass. After fighting for a day and night, Zhang Xiaowu immediately sent Kelai Luo to personally open the Qimi River.
Dam, but the exhausted Confederate Army only heard the rumbling roar. It was too late, and the monstrous flood instantly rushed into the Confederate Army's formation and camp.
Sharif looked at the monstrous flood and was so angry that he drew his sword and shouted: "God is also helping her! Damn it! Damn Awahishi, damn Han boy!" After saying this, he committed suicide.
Zhang Xiaowu waited for the flood to recede, and immediately led 8,000 red-coated troops out of the border. There was no need to fight, but just to take over prisoners of war everywhere. Only 6,000 of the 50,000 Southern troops survived, and the rest were either drowned or died in battle.
At the pass, most of Sharif's sons-in-law died, and the rest were killed by Zhang Xiaowu.
Collero had been a general for thirty years and had never seen this kind of fighting method. He never expected that he could defeat 50,000 elite troops with 7,000 city defense troops and 13,000 temporarily recruited civilians. He felt that
All my life's combat experience has been transferred to the dog.
The army returned victoriously and was immediately warmly received by the city of Liazha.
The first thing Queen Xixi did when she became king was to quell the civil strife in Sharif. Although the rebellion of the southern army was suppressed, the south needed a general to guard it, so as not to give the empire an opportunity. Zhang Xiaowu recommended Colero as the new minister.
As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, Collero was naturally not willing to stay in Liazha City, a place of disputes, so he took the re-recruited 20,000 troops to the south to garrison.
After the storm subsided, Queen Xixi took Zhang Xiaowu's hand and said excitedly: "How can I thank you, my hero, you gave me everything, whatever you want."
Zhang Xiaowu was a bachelor, so he picked up Queen Xixi and went into the bedroom. He had hardly touched a woman during the month of fighting abroad, but he did let him touch her enough that night. After all, Queen Xixi was unable to resist alone, so she had to temporarily
I found a few palace maids. Zhang Xiaowu refused to accept anyone who came. Although this Shaka woman was dark and short and difficult to detect, she was so coquettish...
After two days of rest, Queen Xixi was about to award a large reward, but suddenly she received a report that General Yi Guang was missing. Queen Xixi ran to the princess mansion and saw that Zhang Xiaowu had left him a letter, telling her that his real name was Zhang Xiaowu.
He is a general of the Holy Han Empire. He must return home this time. His family and army need him. He is also very grateful to her for her favor. We hope to see him again in the future.
"You liar!" Queen Xixi stood on the beach and shouted loudly, looking into the invisible distance.
