Chu Xizhao was defeated, and the coalition forces took this opportunity to march towards Youping City. But perhaps the Forbidden Army generals also knew that with their remaining forces and their demoralized morale after a major defeat, they could no longer survive in the hands of hundreds of thousands of coalition forces.
Defend Youping City.
Therefore, when the coalition forces arrived, Youping City had completely become an empty city.
At this point, the coalition forces did not rush to take action again, but took a short rest and recuperation. They killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. It was a great victory. In fact, the casualties of several coalition forces were not small.
Wang Yu alone had already suffered 12,000 casualties. Adding in the losses from the previous siege, nearly one-fifth of the 100,000 troops were lost.
Moreover, Wang Yu suffered less losses. Others were even worse than Wang Yu, especially Xuanyuan Huang. Although most of his losses were those second-rate men, at least on the surface, Xuanyuan Huang had the highest number of casualties.
The worst one is almost as much as the other four combined.
However, the others, like Wang Yu, in addition to letting the soldiers take a short rest and adjust their condition, also need to sort out the harvest and take their part of the prisoners to the rear.
Although everything is peaceful here among the coalition forces, there is almost an explosion in Da Cang, and the whole world is in turmoil because of this.
Zhenxi Mansion!
Zhao Changfeng, the general of Zhenxi, let out a long laugh. After receiving the news of Chu Xizhao's death in battle, the old Huangfu was finally forced to retreat.
Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangwu, Zhao Kuangde, Zhao Kuangwei and Zhao Kuangkai are the sixth sons of Xifu.
The four great counselors were Chu Zhaoye, Han Chongming, Xie Guanying and Zhao Pu.
As well as Zhao Wuji, Li Yuan, Ming Wei, Zhao Changling, Gao Huaide, Shi Shouxin, Jian Shang, Yin Qiangu, Duan Hou, Yan Shan and many other generals gathered together.
"Old monster Huangfu is gone!" After everyone heard the news, they had to breathe a sigh of relief!
The ability of the old prince to command troops is unparalleled in the world, and his own strength is even more unparalleled by few in the world. This kind of person, when placed on the battlefield, is a pressure for many people.
Zhao Changfeng was never a match for the old prince, but those people who split from his Zhenxi Mansion were still trying to make trouble for him. During these days, he was living a miserable life!
And the old prince relied on his strength to be strong enough. He really used himself as a commander, and sometimes he also worked part-time as a fierce general. Although he was affected by the evil aura on the battlefield, his strength could not be used 100%.
, but their base is high enough, even if it is weakened, others cannot resist it.
Zhao Changling, the most powerful general in the Zhenxi Army and the only god-level general in the Zhenxi Army, had no chance of winning against the old emperor who was weakened by the evil spirit.
Finally, the god-level general Zhao Changling, together with Zhao Huangyan, the master of the Zhao family, and the newly arrived counselor Xie Guanying, invited Zhao Huangchao who had been hiding on Longhu Mountain. The three heavenly beings cooperated with Zhao Changling, and there was still an arrow in the dark.
, Yin Qiangu, Duan Hou, the three commanders of the Shen Gong Battalion assisted each other, and with the combined strength of the seven of them, they were able to stop the old monster Huangfu.
"Father! Since the old monster Huangfu has withdrawn, we might as well take this opportunity to teach those people who forget their ancestors a lesson!" Zhao Kuangwu said with a cold expression.
Among the six young masters of Zhenxi Mansion, Zhao Kuangwu does not have as much thought as the other five, nor is he as smooth as the other five. He is even somewhat straight-tempered, but he is the one with the highest martial arts talent among this generation, and can be regarded as one of the most talented.
I am worthy of the word "武" in my name.
In Zhao Kuangwu's view, it was the other party's ability that Old Monster Huangfu was able to suppress them and fight. But on the other hand, those Zhao clan members who held them back and even helped Old Monster Huangfu deal with them were the outright betrayers.
"Master Wu, what you said is wrong! Zhao Changshan and others were just deceived by traitors, why bother killing them all!" Xie Guanying glanced at Zhao Kuangwu, then Shi Shiran said.
When Chu Zhaoye, Han Chongming, and Zhao Pu heard that Xie Guanying had spoken, they also tacitly stopped and prepared to stand up.
Among the four great counselors of Zhenxi Mansion, Chu Zhaoye and Han Chongming are the two oldest ones. Their status is like Kuai Liang and Zhao Anling beside Wang Chang. Zhao Pu is still young at this time and is a little more immature than the first two.
, but precisely because of his youth, his future is bright.
And Xie Guanying not only ranks among the four great counselors, but he is also a heavenly and human-level warrior, and is a famous Confucian in Shangyin Academy.
This Xie Guanying is said to be related by marriage to the Nangong family, one of the four businessmen. His wife is a legitimate daughter of the previous generation of the Nangong family. However, the relationship between Xie Guanying and the Nangong family is not good, especially after his wife left
After that, there was basically no contact.
When Xie Guanying was traveling this time, he unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Kuangyin had a protective body of dragon energy. He determined that this man would be able to accomplish great things in these troubled times, and finally became one of the four great counselors of Zhenxi Mansion.
one.
"My lord, Chu Xizhao was defeated, and the situation in Da Cang has changed drastically. At this time, we should quickly send lobbyists to win over Zhao Changhe and others. Although Zhao Changshan was deceived by traitors and opposed the lord, he must be able to see the situation clearly sooner or later!" Xie Guanying said
There is some guidance.
After Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Kuangyin and his son Huang Pao joined, although Zhenxi Mansion split into three factions, as the situation in Da Cang changed, Zhao Changhe, as a neutral faction, could definitely win over at this time. To put it bluntly, this faction is the kind of thief with a thief heart.
Those who are not brave will naturally become bolder as Huangfu Mingzhao's court becomes weak.
Zhao Changshan is the royalist faction who is in tit-for-tat confrontation with Zhao Changfeng and other rebels. The fundamental purpose of this faction is also to inherit the Zhao family. They do not want the Zhao family to go on that dangerous road full of dangers and thorns. That road, except for
Except for the only winner, all others are foils, and they are foils for the losers.
And even if it succeeds, apart from the one who becomes the emperor and that line, what benefit will it bring to the rest of the Zhao clan?
Royal clan members? Even if the status of the current Zhao clan is not as good as that of the royal clan members, how much worse can it be?
If there is no benefit, why should they take risks with Zhao Kuangyin and his son? Or take the whole family to take risks!
Although Xie Guanying believes that these opposing factions should kill chickens and respect monkeys at the appropriate time, this is clearly not the time to deal with them! Rather, it is the time to seize as many benefits as possible while the Huangfu court is about to perish.
!
Therefore, in Xie Guanying's opinion, it is better to absorb Zhao Changhe's neutral faction first. Even if the royalists cannot win over them, they must still stabilize them. Wait until they seize the land in this feast of dividing the world.
After gaining enough benefits, turn around and deal with them!
