Chapter 43 Please ask Emperor Xia to bathe and purify his head, and we will hunt with me tomorrow!
Xia Kingdom's Gyeonggi Province, Dangtu County, and Caishiji Camp.
The Caishiji in front of us is in the middle of a sudden river, with cliffs and cliffs in the air. It is in the middle of the river, with fast currents and dangerous terrain.
Because it dominates the dangers of the north and south of the Yangtze River and guards the east-west throat, it is an important crossing point for the north and south of the Yangtze River and has been a place fought over by military strategists of all ages. It is known as the "Jinling Barrier".
At this time, in the Caishiji camp.
Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling, who had just resisted Caishiji Camp a few days ago, suddenly got the idea to relive his life in the army, so he ordered his palace servants to fetch his armor from back then and prepared to personally inspect Caishiji Camp.
.
The palace people around him did not dare to disobey, so they quickly sent someone to fetch the armor and put it on for Yu Zhaoling.
However, because he has not been on the battlefield for many years and has been living in the palace to handle government affairs, Yu Zhaoling's originally strong body has actually grown a lot of fat. Therefore, it is not easy to put on the armor he wore when he was King Qi.
Already.
Yu Zhaoling's protruding belly made it impossible to fasten the armor that he wore in those days.
The palace attendant did not dare to tighten it tightly, and did not dare to speak for fear of offending, so he could only stay there, sweating profusely.
Yu Zhaoling caught a glimpse of the palace man's appearance, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the armor that no longer fit him, and suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
After a long silence, he sighed slightly and said:
"Forget it, let's prepare another armor..."
When the palace people heard this, they felt relieved and quickly responded:
"Yes, slave, go and change now!"
The palace man trotted away to prepare new armor.
But at this moment, someone else reported outside the imperial tent, saying:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Feng Chu, Commander of the First Grade Embroidered Clothes, would like to see your Majesty!"
When Yu Zhaoling heard this, he immediately asked someone to spread the word.
Feng Chu walked quickly into the imperial tent, bowed to Yu Zhaoling, and said immediately:
"Your Majesty, Emperor Yun is here!"
Yu Zhaoling heard this,
His eyes suddenly condensed and he said in a deep voice:
"We're already outside Caishiji Camp?"
"Yes, the navy of Yun Kingdom has just arrived. At this time, Emperor Yun's honor guard is disembarking."
Yu Zhaoling pondered for a while, then suddenly waved his robe and said:
"When Emperor Yun comes, go and greet him... Come and change your clothes!"
After putting on his dragon robe again and tidying up, Yu Zhaoling hurried to the high platform surrounded by a group of civil servants and generals.
Climbing to the high platform, everyone looked towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Then, less than twenty miles away from the Caishiji camp, the mighty Yun Kingdom Navy warships escorted the gorgeous, luxurious and honorable dragon boats stationed there.
On both sides of the Yangtze River, most of the Yun army was dispatched in unison, arrayed solemnly on both sides of the river.
With the arrival of the emperor's guard of honor, a group of Yunjun soldiers suddenly burst out with a loud shout that stopped the moving clouds!
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
Thousands of troops and horses shouted in unison. The majestic military force that shook the heaven and earth and swallowed mountains and rivers suddenly burst out.
The army of the Yun State was originally sharp and famous. But at this moment, the solemn appearance of the army, the high morale, and the prosperity of the army made people feel trembling and frightened.
Yu Zhaoling and all the civil and military officials from the Xia Kingdom saw this with their eyelids twitching, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
At this time, in the distance, under the solemn guard of honor of the Emperor, Xiao Cheng stepped off the dragon boat and accepted the roar of the army.
At this time, he suddenly felt something in his heart, raised his head slightly, and looked towards the Caishiji camp in the distance.
The eyes of Xiao Cheng and Yu Zhaoling were nearly twenty miles apart, and they were directly touching each other. In the dark, it was like a million-year-old glacier colliding violently with the turbulent erupting volcanic mud.
But as soon as the two emperors, who are respected by all the countries in the world, met, they were filled with the dragon energy of national destiny, and they were ready to confront each other.
In an instant, heaven and earth
I felt that the wind and clouds were changing colors. The dark clouds were gathering quickly, and the electric light was swimming in them, covering the sky. A solemn and overwhelming momentum filled the space between the sky and the earth, making everyone feel the pressure on them, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
In the line of sight that is difficult for ordinary people to see, the two dragons of national destiny suddenly condensed and circled in the sky. They screamed in the sky, roared in waves, and the momentum of the whole body spread out without any concealment.
The golden dragon, which represents the luck of the Yun Kingdom, is filled with auspicious energy and auspicious light. The momentum of the whole body is high and vigorous, just like the sun rising in the sky, filled with panic.
The dragon of fortune, which represented the Xia Kingdom, was black in color and had a huge body. At this time, it had lost its original aura of old age, and its whole body had deep power, profound foundation, and pressure from all directions.
Xiao Cheng stood there with his hands behind his back, looking quietly at Yu Zhaoling on the high platform, then suddenly chuckled and took the initiative to dissipate his momentum.
In the sky, the golden dragon of luck, representing the national destiny of the Yun Kingdom, immediately took off and disappeared into the sky.
Xiao Cheng stood upright, facing the Caishiji camp in the distance, and shouted loudly:
"Today I meet Emperor Xia from afar, and I have a message for you. Please ask Emperor Xia to take a bath and purify his head, and tomorrow we will hunt in Dangtu!"
The sound of loud cheers blessed by inner strength instantly and clearly reached the ears of everyone on both sides of Yunxia.
Xiao Cheng was so confident and arrogant, and treated the Xia Kingdom like nothing. The Xia Kingdom's monarchs and ministers, who were shocked by the power of the Yun army, suddenly widened their eyes. They felt that they were being humiliated by Emperor Yun in front of him, and their faces turned blue and red.
Yu Zhaoling's face turned pale and he immediately shouted:
"Stand up my guard of honor!"
After a while, a yellow umbrella cover representing the presence of the Emperor of Xia Kingdom suddenly appeared on the high platform. It stood happily and conspicuously.
"I will not let Emperor Yun return in despair!"
On the high platform, all the generals around Emperor Xia shouted in unison in response.
In these words, the fighting spirit was high, showing the arrogance of General Xia Jun.
All the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom in the Caishiji Camp heard this shouting and immediately raised their heads.
Then he saw the Huang Luo Umbrella Guard, which was magnificent and majestic. Under it, a group of high-ranking officials from the DPRK gathered around the emperor and came to the front line in person.
The soldiers of the Xia army, who were originally frightened by the Yun army's military strength, saw that the Xia emperor was personally conducting the expedition, and their morale was boosted. They also shouted:
"I will not let Emperor Yun return in despair!"
"I will not let Emperor Yun return in despair!"
"..."
The hoarse shouts of the soldiers shouted loudly in the Caishiji camp, boosting the morale of the Xia army, gathering a heavy military force, and began to compete with the power of the Yun army in the distance.
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he smiled instead of being angry. He immediately raised his hand and said loudly:
"Go back to camp immediately, and the whole army will be ready for battle. Tomorrow, I will lead the expedition myself!"
The civil and military personnel surrounding Xiao Cheng heard the order, clasped their fists fiercely, and shouted in unison:
"My lord, please obey your order!"
With an order, the Yunjun on both sides of the Taiwan Strait immediately guarded Xiao Cheng's honor guard and dispersed like a tide. The lineup was in order and there was no chaos at all.
On the high platform, Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling looked solemnly at Yun Jun who returned to camp, frowned, and said in a deep voice:
"Let the Huntian Supervisory Authority activate the formation immediately!"
Although relying on the imperial chariot to fight in person, the morale of the Xia army's officers and men was boosted.
But Yu Zhaoling and all the civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom knew very well that the morale boosted in this way would only need a few defeats before it could be lost again.
If you want to truly fight against the Yun army, you can only forcibly extract the national destiny of the Xia Kingdom, bless the army, and increase its combat power. Only in this way can you fight against the elites of the Yun Kingdom!
Since it is forcibly extracting the power of national destiny, it will naturally cause great damage to the foundation of Xia State.
The fate of the country is unstable, there will be backlash in the dark, and the country is in trouble. Natural and man-made disasters are endless!
But if they did not resort to such desperate measures, Xia would not be able to resist in the face of Yun's army.
Rather than sit back and watch being swallowed up by whales and still unable to escape the fate of the ancestral temple being overturned, it is better to forcibly extract the power of national destiny and gain the ability to fight against the Yun army.
.
If this battle is defeated, it will only be the result of facing the destruction of the country in advance.
But if they win, they can completely reverse the decline, swallow and bite the dragon energy of the Yun Kingdom, and thereby restore the prosperity of the country.
To put it simply, it is gambling on the fate of the country!
Recalling that at the beginning, Xiao Chengchu took power. Because of Wang Xiao's incident, the soldiers of the Yongzhou camp of Yun State wanted to rebel. The Xia army took the opportunity to attack the northern border of Yun State, putting the country of Yun State in danger.
It has only been seven or eight years since this happened. But I never expected that the world situation would undergo such a big reversal...
Since this was already a last-ditch battle, the ministers had already prepared themselves, so naturally they had no intention of objecting. They all raised their hands and said:
"My lord, please obey your order!"
...
That night, Xiao Cheng was in the imperial tent in the army, convening civil and military ministers to discuss matters.
At this time, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He raised his hand to ask the ministers to stop. Then he stood up suddenly, walked out of the imperial tent, and looked towards the Caishiji Camp in the distance.
The ministers were stunned for a moment, then quickly followed him, subconsciously looking in the direction where His Majesty was looking.
But at this time, except for Jiang Ziya, Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang and a few others, they seemed to have noticed something. Most of the other civil and military officials saw nothing and looked at Xiao Cheng with some confusion.
Xiao Cheng's deep pupils had turned into dragon pupils at this time, with golden light flickering in them. He looked straight in the direction of Caishiji Camp, and then suddenly said:
"Coming!"
The next moment, a dazzling light suddenly shot straight into the sky from the Caishiji camp.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the Xia Army camp, with thunder and lightning flashing among them. From among the thick clouds, deep and painful dragon roars could be heard from time to time.
There was a sudden movement at this time, and the movement was quite large. The ministers, who had not sensed anything just now, immediately raised their heads and looked towards the Caishiji camp of the Xia army.
Either the aura of moral purity lingers in the eyes; or there are hundreds of miraculous arts that bless one's body; or there is fierce blood energy, like wolf smoke billowing up, perceiving the surroundings of the world.
Hundreds of civil and military officials showed off their magical powers. Within their sight, the world between heaven and earth suddenly changed drastically.
Above the Caishiji camp in the distance, a giant black dragon, symbolizing the national destiny of the Xia Kingdom, hovers in the sky.
Several huge phantoms of chains stretched out from the Xia Army camp, tightly binding the huge figure.
The dazzling light emitted by the magic circle penetrates into the body of the destiny dragon, forcibly extracting the power of national destiny.
The majestic power of national destiny was forcibly extracted and spread directly into the heaven and earth. Then it was scattered and absorbed, and was projected into the bodies of the Xia Kingdom's monarchs and ministers through the Xia Kingdom's national jade seal in the magic circle.
Just like what Xiao Cheng used before, the effect of the purple strategy card [Yaqin Yayong] is average.
No matter where they are, the monarchs and ministers of the Xia Kingdom, under the blessing of the country's destiny, feel that their minds are clear and their spiritual power increases sharply. The blood of the generals is more powerful, their momentum is more solemn, and they are more powerful.
Many people have directly achieved breakthroughs in cultivation.
Even the soldiers at the bottom of the Xia Army, whose perception was least obvious, had gained a bit of cultivation strength for nothing at this time!
Correspondingly, the Xia Kingdom's Luck Dragon, which was still strong and powerful during the day, could rely on its solid foundation to compete with the Yun Kingdom's Luck Golden Dragon. At this time, it was just like when it was seriously injured by Liu Bowen.
The huge dragon head hangs down helplessly, the aura around the body is exhausted, and the body becomes extremely illusory, as if it will completely dissipate in the next moment!
Seeing this, Xiao Cheng and the civil and military officials from the Yun Kingdom became a little solemn.
Break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight with your last resort.
The determination of the Xia Kingdom must not be underestimated!
Xiao Cheng turned his head slightly and glanced at the civil and military ministers around him.
Jiang Ziya, the bachelor of Jixia Academy, Zhuge Liang, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Bowen, the sincerity uncle, Yao Guangxiao, the Changzhou uncle, and Zhang Jiao, the chief seal of the Daolu Department.
Zhao Yun, the general of the Central Guard Army, Yang Zaixing, the Huwei General, and Chen Dao, the partial guard general.
Cabinet Walks |, Chen Qingzhi, Fang Xuanling. Military Aircraft Department
Counselors Wu Qi, Zhao She, Wei Liao...
In addition to these civil and military ministers who came with them, there were also generals from the Jiangzhou City army!
The governor of the right army, the governor of the left, and Wu Zixu, the Marquis of Qujing.
General Jianwei, acting commander-in-chief of the Neihe Navy, Zhou Yu; commander-in-chief of Jiangcheng County, Tongzhi Lu Su; counselor of the Military Aircraft Department, leader of Jinshi Sun Bin, commander-in-chief of Jiangcheng County; General Huang Gai of Yiyang...
Among the civil servants and generals of the Yun Kingdom, most of the famous ministers are gathered here!
Among the large army, in addition to Wu Zixu's 100,000 elite troops and 50,000 inland water divisions, Xiao Cheng also mobilized 80,000 elite soldiers and horses from the country, and 300,000 young and strong county soldiers responsible for logistics, garrison, and city defense.
Come to the front line together.
Among these soldiers and horses, almost all the elite troops of the Yun Kingdom came together at this time!
The army of the Yun Kingdom, uu read a book, the morale is high, the military is in full swing, and the morale of the army is ready!
Let’s look at Yu Zhaoling’s side. Who is he bringing?
On the Xia army's side, only one Wu Zhengping and one Yun Kaige could see the battle. The rest of the army's famous generals, after several major defeats, were either defeated and committed suicide by the Yun State, or were captured by the Yun State and imprisoned in the Gongde Forest.
The rest are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or rotten fish and shrimps. They can't fight at all, they don't have the ability!
There is also Xia Guoqi's plan to turn defeat into victory and reverse the situation of the war. The middle and high-level generals of the Xia army are not aware of it yet. The Yunnan Machinery Department, the Ministry of War, and the frontline troops all know it clearly.
Even if it is more expensive than the national fortune, Yun Guo is not afraid of Xia Guo at all.
At this time, Xiao Cheng, although he was not inflated, he really couldn't imagine how he would lose!
