But even the solid city of Lu Zhenla was difficult to resist the sweeping of tens of thousands of troops. When Gaoliang Kingdom learned that Emperor Dayan personally led tens of thousands of troops to conquer Lu Zhenla, he immediately sent a secret whistle to the Gao family in Dali.
At this time, the imperial concubine of Dayan Emperor Murong Wan'er encountered a high-level attack in Dali Kingdom but failed. She was rescued by Xiaonan, the princess of the Kunsai family in Wencheng, and this led to the conquest of Emperor Dayan personally.
The half-true and half-false rumors made the Gao family members of Xuecheng panic.
Lu Zhenla's Xuecheng was originally the way out for the Gao family.
A last resort.
But who would have thought that Emperor Dayan would temporarily give up the Gao family in Dali and fight against Lu Zhenla with tens of thousands of troops... Could this mean that he wanted to cut off the Gao family's retreat?
Like Wei Chu's Gao family, Xue Cheng's Gao family descendants also had a lot of internal strife.
There is no doubt that most Gao family members think it is too unwise to let the family be buried with Gao Liangming's sins and bear the revenge of Emperor Dayan.
However, Gao Quancheng has a high prestige in the Gao family, and is almost no one dares to easily shake it.
He protected his younger brother Gao Liangming, and the rest of the Gao family were not willing to do so.
A high-volume country is a high-volume country that has become a confidant in Lu Zhenla.
Of course, if you were not a confidant, Gao Liangcheng would not be assured to hand Xue Cheng over to Gao Liangguo's hands.
Openly and secretly, the Gao family's power in Lu Zhenla is mostly concentrated in Xuecheng.
There are five thousand soldiers in the family, including eight hundred elephant cavalry.
Such military power is a position that no one dares to shake among the various city-states of Lu Zhenla.
If the Yan army had not come to this point, the Gaoliang Kingdom had originally planned to take down the adjacent Wencheng, Shancheng and Gulaocheng in the second half of the year and turn it into a territory ruled by the Gao family.
The high-volume country climbed the city tower. Because of the Gao family's operation, Xuecheng's city defense facilities are much more advanced than Wencheng, and the city walls are much stronger.
The scorching sun was scorching. Seeing the Yan army rushing over the mountains and fields like tides, Gaoliong was shocked, but his face was cold.
A loud military horn sounded, Xuecheng gate opened, and the eight hundred elephant cavalry and three thousand auxiliary soldiers left the city to fight.
The leader was Gao Minghui, a descendant of the Gao family.
Gao Minghui ordered the elephant cavalry to be lined up in a row, forming a long snake formation, trying to rely on the elephant heavy armor to defend against the Yan army.
Gao Minghui even had the idea of letting the elephant cavalry attack the Yan army formation, but it was finally dispelled.
These Eight Hundred Elephant Cavalry are the backbone of the Gao family's many years of operation.
Once the defeat and casualties are caused, the Gao family's foundation for establishing a foothold in Lu Zhenla Kingdom will be gone.
Eight hundred giant elephants roared one after another in the wilderness.
Yang Yizhong waved his hand, and the imperial guards under his command immediately formed a formation and prepared to attack the formation of the elephant cavalry.
Yang Yizhong stared at the elephant cavalry formation not far away, and he was not afraid or afraid, but he was still a little solemn.
For such a beast cavalry team, recklessness and strong attack are not advisable, only wisdom can be used.
Yang Yizhong remembered the emperor's instructions.
He was silent for a moment, waving the spear in his hand: "Star the rocket!"
Ten thousand cavalry and imperial guards fired ten thousand arrows at the same time, and the whistling rockets swept across the sky like locusts, falling into the formation of cavalry like a cavalry.
The elephant has strong ability to resist strikes, but it is only afraid of fire.
Moreover, the equipment of cavalry is mostly made of dry vines and is caught when it sees fire.
The fire spread out in the elephant cavalry formation, and more and more giant elephants roared constantly, turning around and running towards their own formation.
The Gao family's army in Xuecheng suddenly became in chaos and was defeated.
The Eight Hundred Elephant Cavalry were chaotic in the wilderness, and some of them fell directly under the dense rain of arrows of the Yan army.
Gao Liangguo was so distressed that he almost vomited blood when he saw it on the city tower, but in a hurry, he could not collect the frightened giant elephant, and could only order people to lead the retreating riots back to the city.
...
Shancheng and Gulaocheng were recovered by Yan army.
The Yan army was attacking the Gao family in Xuecheng, and the news spread became increasingly fierce. In the past two days, there were more and more powerful people in Lu Zhenla, who came to Wencheng to worship and surrender to Dayan.
The powerful and wealthy people from all cities brought gifts of various wealth and gifts, just elephants, spices, gems, gold and beautiful women, gradually arrived outside Wencheng.
Wencheng is now under the control of the Jinyi Iron Cavalry.
The emperor still lives in the manor of Kunsai's family.
For several days, Kunsai tried to present the beauties carefully selected by the family to the emperor, for fear that the furious emperor would slaughter Wencheng again on a whim.
Murong Wan'er's condition improved greatly under the careful diagnosis and treatment of the military doctor.
Although I can't move freely like a normal person, at least I have hope of recovery.
Murong Wan'er snuggled in the emperor's arms. Seeing Xiao Nan tiptoe into the bamboo building with fear and fear, she smiled and called out, "Sister Xiao Nan!"
Xiao Nan knelt on the ground.
Today, Xiaonan wore Lu Zhenla's traditional colorful shirt and a dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry on her head.
Murong Wan'er is such a smart person. She doesn't understand what she saw. Xiaonan is following the order of the family and is going to serve the emperor in person.
Murong Wan'er smiled and turned her head to look at Wang Lin.
But he pretended not to know and said slowly: "Sister Xiaonan, why are you?"
Xiaonan took a deep breath and said softly: "Sister Wan'er, my father said that our Kunsai family is guilty. I am willing to serve Your Majesty and my sister to forgive the family!"
Murong Wan'er smiled but said nothing.
If the emperor was interested in Xiaonan, she would naturally not say a word.
Wang Lin's mouth twitched. He had no good impression of the Kunsai family, but the Lu Zhenla woman in front of him was very kind to save Murong Wan'er. For Murong Wan'er's sake, he actually did not intend to pursue Kunsai again.
family.
Wang Lin was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Miss Xiaonan, if you are willing to guide me and send Wan'er back to Dali Imperial City safely, I will not blame the Kunsai family for the past."
Xiaonan agreed in a panic.
Murong Wan'er was shocked: "Your Majesty, do you want me to return to Dali alone?"
Wang Lin nodded: "Wan'er, I will stay in Lu Zhenla for a while. Since I have come, I can't come in vain. The leaders of the countries around me will always meet me and praise me.
The Yan army is dominant in the country.
Besides, I want to completely eradicate the Gao family's power in Lu Zhenla without leaving any future troubles.
Your serious injury has not healed, and the climate here is stuffy, hot and humid, which is not conducive to your health.
The Duan family of Dali has surrendered to me, and the destruction of the Gao family is just around the corner. You go back to Dali first, and I will come later."
Although Murong Wan'er was reluctant to leave the emperor, she felt that what the emperor said was very reasonable. She is in poor health now, and staying with the emperor is also a burden. It is better to return to Dali to recuperate.
But before Murong Wan'er nodded in agreement, a crisp and gentle female voice suddenly came from outside the bamboo building: "Your Majesty, Empress, I think it's inappropriate."
Duan Wanqing, who had a graceful figure and beautiful appearance, walked in.
She bowed to Wang Lin and Murong Wan'er and said, "Your Majesty, the mountains and forests between Lu Zhenla and Dali are spreading across the country. There are many barbarians in it. The Gao family also has a considerable force in the mountains and forests. If you let the lady do it, it will be a big deal.
If you return to Dali alone, without the protection of the army, you may have something unexpected."
Although Duan Wanqing calls herself a minister, Murong Wan'er has long seen her hidden love for the emperor. In addition, her identity is there, and she was named Princess Jinhua by the emperor and followed her side. Obviously
He will also be one of the girls in the harem in the future.
Therefore, Murong Wan'er's attitude towards Duan Wanqing in the past two days has been very close.
Wang Lin pondered.
Murong Wan'er stood up with Xiao Nan's support, grabbed Duan Wanqing's hand and smiled: "Sister Wanqing, as you said, the Gao family has a lot of power in Lu Zhenla Country?"
Duan Wanqing's face turned slightly red and nodded, "Yes, Empress, the Gao family has been operating in Lu Zhenla for hundreds of years, nominally occupying only one Xuecheng, but in fact the power spreads throughout Lu Zhenla."
"Since that's the case..." Murong Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed and she turned her head to Wang Lin and said, "Your Majesty, I should stay in Wencheng. After this incident, I have survived several times. Now I think about it and feel a little scared.
, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I cannot continue to serve Your Majesty..."
Murong Wan'er's eyes turned red as she spoke.
Wang Lin felt a little sad when he heard this. He hugged Murong Wan'er and sighed: "Wan'er, I am also very afraid. From now on, I will never let you out of the palace again. I will still leave my internal affairs.
Let me do it for you.
Well, what Wanqing said makes sense. Since that's the case, you will be able to raise your family in Wencheng and work together with me and the army in the future."
At this time, Yan Qing reported from outside the bamboo building: "Your Majesty, there are many envoys from various cities who come to visit His Majesty. In addition, there are also people from the Queen's Kingdom. It is said that their queen has arrived in person to ask for your Majesty.
”
"Queen Kingdom?" Wang Lin asked in surprise.
Xiao Nan interrupted and explained: "Your Majesty, this queen country is also called Harry Benchai Country. It is located north of Siam, next to Lu Zhenla. This country has been ruled by women throughout the ages, so it is called the queen country."
...
Wencheng City Gate is open.
Under the solemn gaze of two rows of iron cavalry in brocade, the king of the Queen Kingdom, Nalan, rode on a black elephant and slowly came into the city with her five hundred female troops.
Wang Lin stood on the city tower and stared at this female army with a somewhat wild wind.
In her early twenties, Nalan's skin was slightly dark, her eye sockets were deep, and her long hair was tied with a golden crown. She was wearing half-body leather armor and a leather skirt that was tightly attached to her hips, which undoubtedly highlighted her graceful figure.
She had a calm smile on her face, but her slender hands held the scimitar on her waist.
She looked around her back and looked around her biography and iron cavalry inside her view, and her smile became stronger on her face.
Wang Lin met Nalan, the lord of the Queen Kingdom who came from afar in Kunsai Manor.
Nalan had finished paying homage to the people of Lu Zhenla, but her beautiful eyes were so hot that she stared at Wang Lin without blinking.
Murong Wan'er and Duan Wanqing, who were sitting cross-legged on the soft couch to accompany the emperor to meet Nalan, were also secretly scrutinizing Nalan. Murong Wan'er suddenly fell in Wang Lin's ear and laughed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why do I think of this Queen's Kingdom
When the king saw Your Majesty, it was like a wolf meeting a sheep... If it weren't for my concubine and Sister Wanqing here, she would have rushed over and threw herself to His Majesty on the spot?"
Murong Wan'er is of course a joke.
Wang Lin coughed twice, but his eyes looked back at Nalan calmly and said indifferently: "Please sit down by Lord Nalan."
