Chapter 703: The new king of the capital ascends the throne, and Zhan Ji is angry and murderous
Chai Shengnan led the whole army into Yuping Pass, everything was much smoother than she expected, although she asked Ruan Yu to be very careful, but everything that should be checked has been checked, the water source is not polluted, and the grain and grass materials have been taken away. There is no ambush around, and as for what fire attacks and floods, there is no high river embankment around, and there is no fire in the pass.
Seeing that Chai Shengnan was a little uneasy, Chang Xiu said: "Then Qi Hou left in a hurry, I don't think it will go far, why don't I and Ruan Yu take light horses and kill for a while?"
Chai Shengnan shook his head: "They are more than capable of advancing and retreating, and they are rashly pursuing for fear of deception, and I still don't understand what the point of them blocking me here." "Years of military service have taught her that any unconventional or unexplained actions of the enemy are worthy of vigilance.
Looking at the direction of the capital again, Chai Shengnan was even more worried: "What's more, our main task now is the capital, and I don't know what the current situation is." ”
In fact, Chai Shengnan was worried in vain, the Shu army did not advance much after breaking the Demon Cloud Sea, but rested in place and changed generals on the spot. Shu Marquis Xi Ze Yaoshi rushed from Rongcheng, and when the Demon Master was there, no matter how arrogant he was, he was just giving orders and waving flags and shouting as a prince. I never had the idea of going to the battlefield myself.
But now that the Optimus Jade Pillar of the Great Zhou has fallen, he also has the ambition and courage to break the capital in person. Sima Hui knew what kind of person Shu Hou was, and he had already expected his thoughts, but he didn't say much, but just arranged for the disciples of Yushan to ambush and kill Eternal Night Guming again.
Ma Lusha and the others used the Peach Blossom Spring Array to kill Eternal Night Guming, and successfully recruited more than 8,000 surrendered troops, all the way to Sima Hui. And Huang Ping, who gathered the rout, received the news of the death of Eternal Night Guming, he knew that there was no way to return to heaven here, so he could only retreat to the capital with all his might, hoping that Chai Shengnan could come as soon as possible, and there were still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the merger of the two roads, and then he would do a roundabout.
And at this time, the capital also underwent great changes, and under the plan and support of the Song Party, the second prince successfully ascended the throne, which also heralded the beginning of this new era.
The second prince Ji Xiong's behavior of taking advantage of the king's paralysis to ascend the throne has indeed been criticized by some people, but this king has not played a good role during his lifetime, and now is the time when the dragons are leaderless after the death of the demon master, and it is a good way for His Royal Highness the prince to stand up resolutely.
Of course, everyone has to fight for power and profit, but the nobles in the capital have experienced four hundred years, and most of them are closely related to the Great Zhou Dynasty and are connected by blood. This dynasty does not exist, and naturally they will not end well. Although there is some conflict between the newly rising Song Party and the old nobles, most of them are still on the sidelines, and they are curious to know what the new king is going to do.
Sure enough, as soon as the second prince ascended the throne, he first moved his eldest brother Ji Wei out of the palace under house arrest, and then put the demon concubine Su Lian into the cold palace. Then the king of Taishang and the original virtuous concubine Hua Bingrong were placed in the harem alone, and the originally powerful eunuch Matt was executed, eliminating the existence of the eunuch party in the court in one fell swoop, and at the same time promoting a large number of members of the Song party.
The so-called second party ban also occurred, the last blow was the virtual West Party, which can also be regarded as a regional black, and this time the eunuch party is different, it is a real fight, the reputation is not very good, and the scope of the impact is relatively small. So as long as it's not really related to the eunuchs, most people are still relatively calm.
These are just basic operations, generally can be expected, and can be understood, and then the new king's edict let the Duke of Jin and the Marquis of Shu enter Beijing to discuss state affairs together, which makes many people incomprehensible, but there are still people with a clear eye to see through the intention, pull other forces in, muddy the crisis in the capital, and then form a balance, this trick can not be said to be clever, but it is also not bad, it seems that the new king also has a hand.
……
Just when the capital was succeeded to the throne by the new king, the sky was rendered with fireworks in the sky. Chai Shengnan, who was in Yuping Pass, also saw the sky-high fire in front of him.
After four days of siege, Chai Shengnan's army was also exhausted, and it was late at this time, and no matter how anxious he was to rush to the capital, it was impossible to march in a hurry overnight. Therefore, the army still stayed at Yuping Pass, preparing to rest for a day tomorrow and set off for King Qin the day after tomorrow.
In the night, she also received a message from the old housekeeper of the Taishi Mansion, although it cannot be regarded as the latest information (the news of the killing of Eternal Night Guming has not yet come), but at least she knows two things, the first is that the new king is on the throne, and the second is that the Shu army has stopped, and it seems that they are waiting for the Marquis of Shu to come in person. This is undoubtedly good news for Chai Shengnan, and it is precisely because of this that she is willing to take a day off tomorrow.
But as soon as she stepped here, the feeling of uneasiness haunted her heart, so she still used the segmentation method, Ruan Yu led a team of people and horses to camp in front of Yuping Pass, she took a team of people and horses in Yuping Pass, Chang Xiu led a large team of people and horses to camp outside the pass, no matter what tricks Ying Rui left, she should be able to deal with it.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, a large number of spiritual fire black crows flew towards Yuping Pass, and each spiritual fire black crow had a skin bag underneath, and there were a large number of other birds behind the spiritual fire black crow, also holding a skin bag under their bodies.
Although it was nighttime, the arrival of a large number of birds in the air still aroused the alarm of the sentry and immediately sounded the alarm. At the same time, all the birds threw down their skins and threw them into the Yuping Pass, and a slightly viscous liquid flowed out of it. The soldiers on guard at the head of the city immediately shouted: "It's fierce fire oil!
As a soldier, I naturally understand the fierce fire oil, this oil is specially refined, and when the demon cloud sea was guarding the northern frontier, he used the fierce fire oil to fight against the demon clan. This oil is flammable and explosive, and it is so powerful that it is not easy to extinguish, whether it is used with sand or water, it is more difficult to deal with than ordinary flames.
The neatly dressed Chai Shengnan looked at the already burning Yuping Guan and said, "I knew it wasn't that easy. ”
This may be the difference between a person who leads a soldier and a person who is a person in the rivers and lakes. In the past few days, Ma Weixian has been using harassment tactics, and he did create some trouble for Chai Shengnan. And after the start of the offensive and defensive battle at Yuping Pass, Ma Weixian was going to play a big game for Chai Shengnan, so he didn't attack again for the time being.
And his plan is nothing more than this, fierce fire oil with fire attack. Encamped in the wilderness, these armies may be able to abandon the camp and leave, but with the city pass, they will definitely be stationed in it, and when the time comes, a fire will trap them inside, even if it can't hurt Chai Shengnan, at least it can burn a large number of her soldiers and horses.
Of course, this is the idea of the characters in the rivers and lakes, but Chai Shengnan doesn't think so, even if there is no Ma Weixian, in order to prevent Qi Hou from counterattacking and killing a horse pistol, she does not plan to replace the main force into the pass, her subordinates are as good at field warfare as they are not good at guarding the city. Outsiders think that Chai Shengnan has been in Taoguan for two years, and then thinks that she is better at defense, which is undoubtedly one-sided.
Since the army has to be sorted out in these two days, this little tail cannot be kept. Although Chai Shengnan did not suffer much loss, his patience with this small group of Ma family's disciples was also to the limit, and he ignored them before, in addition to rushing forward, he also had the meaning of calming the Ma family, after all, the sea of magic clouds was no longer there, and the crisis in the capital was not easy to solve, at this time she didn't want the Ma family to be involved. Now that they have played this hand, they can be regarded as breaking through the bottom line. There are too many buildings that can be burned in the entire Yuping Pass, and once it collapses, it is easy to hurt people, if the general general leads the troops here, the army will already be surrounded in the sea of fire, and the consequences are really unimaginable if they are trampled and collapsed.
While ordering her subordinates to exit the Jade Screen Pass, she sent out a thunderous white tiger to sweep the birds in the air. After a while, he locked on Ma Weixian and his party who were controlling from a distance. It seems that concessions cannot be exchanged for compromise, and only ruthless means can control the situation.
Chai Shengnan jumped up and made a thunderous move in mid-air, and the entire sky above Yuping Pass was illuminated by electric light like daylight, and thousands of demon birds were all shot down in an instant. Chai Shengnan shook the battle axe in his hand and rushed towards several people.
Of course, the few people who were secretly controlling the birds were also aware that Chai Shengnan flew too fast and arrived in front of him in an instant. Several people were also stunned, and the family just said that they would make some trouble for Chai Shengnan and try to slow down her march, but they didn't say that they wanted to bump into her. Even if Chai Shengnan must die this time, he can't die at the hands of the Ma family, and the devil knows if Butterfly Valley will be angry because of this.
A junior whispered to the leader Ma Weixian: "Uncle Weitang, what can I do about this?"
Chai Shengnan looked at a few people and sneered: "You don't need to ask more, you see the beautiful mountains and rivers here, isn't it a good place to bury bones?"
Ma Weixian knew that he had played with fire this time and immediately said: "You can't kill us, if you kill us, you will be the enemy of the Ma family, you know the strength of the Ma family, the Demon Master is dead, and no one can protect you." Everyone who knew each other took a step back, and we turned around and left. ”
Not only Chai Shengnan, but even a few juniors of the Ma family were a little speechless, if it weren't for his means, he would be an elder. In addition, this task is not too difficult, which makes this young and middle-aged talent in the family lead the team, and then look at his performance along the way, first he will never forget the old hatred, and because of his personal relationship, he will ignore the orders of the family, and now he will burn Yuping Pass, after all, this is the territory of Qi Hou, and behind Qi Hou is the Donglai Sun family, okay! Playing so big here, Qi Hou and the Sun family just don't talk about it, they must also remember it in their hearts, and they have offended a powerful neighbor in vain.
It can be said that along the way, in addition to being flawed and stubborn, Ma Weixian only relied on a little calculation, and now he has provoked Chai Shengnan's murderous heart to suddenly think of moving out of the family?
If he said that he wanted to avenge the revenge of the year, he acted without permission, although he was obviously cautious, but he finally took out the Ma family. Looking at his fierce appearance at the moment, not to mention Chai Shengnan, even several young people in the Ma family also looked down on him.
