Ruan Yu and Chang Xiu took Parida's corpse to the home of the real golden-faced god of war, the veteran Longtis.

Looking at the body of his granddaughter, the old man did not see joy or sorrow. For the people who have dedicated their lives to the Ganman Alliance, Ruan Yu and Chang Xiu also know that it is impossible to let this veteran go out of the mountain to calm people's hearts, not to mention that they also killed his only granddaughter.

Parida begged for mercy, and Heaven once again gave the family the glory of being heroes, and became an existence that both sides of the war sang about. But this kind of glory, Longys didn't want to ask for it. Watch your children and grandchildren achieve prestige and then be carried into their homes. The only remaining granddaughter also ended up, how can this dying old man bear it?

After Ruan Yu and Chang Xiu left, Long Tisi closed the door to thank the guests, and in addition to understanding, Chang Xiu still arranged for someone to secretly monitor, after all, this old man has guarded the Ganman Alliance all his life, and his reputation in this area is great. If you really plan to do something, I'm afraid the second daughter won't be able to parry.

With the surrender of Xiumier City, Ruan Yu sat in the city, and Chang Xiu took over the remaining small cities one by one under the leadership of the guide. Some cities were initially afraid or disgusted with the Zhou people and were reluctant to open their doors. However, when he learned that Dadun Pass had fallen, Xiu Mier surrendered. Many of my own women and children are also cultivating their ears, do you want to ignore them and insist on going their own way?

Although there were small twists and turns, all the rebellious Charlotbeth surrendered in a few days.

Although there would be no severe punishment for the various cities, Burke was forcibly dismissed from office in all the cities as the price of rebellion. Chang Xiu arranged for officials and troops to be stationed separately, so that the Southern Route Army was temporarily dispersed, and there was no way to continue north. However, the surrender of the various cities was concentrated in the city of Xiumier, and there were also three or four thousand men, who would follow them in the future.

After a few days of the arrangement of things, Ji Ya suddenly came to Xiu Mi'er City, and Ruan Yu and Chang Xiu hurriedly came to greet her. After careful inquiry, I learned that Ji Ya got the battle report, it was a few days after the capture of Dadun Pass, and in order to prepare supplies, Ji Ya delayed for some time. She went to Dadun Pass first, and learned what happened from Huang Ping, so she rushed to Xiumier City.

She knew that the armies of the north and south were suffering a lot of losses, so she flew back and prepared some supplies.

The second daughter reported the situation in the south seriously, and Ji Ya also listened carefully: "Thank you for your hard work, don't move these 8,000 men and horses first, rest well, and wait for the middle route army to break through Urqi, you can go north at the right time." ”

Just now, the second daughter reported that the Southern Route Army has been scattered everywhere, and if it is to be mobilized, Xiu Mier can dispatch 2,000, Dadun Pass can dispatch 3,000, plus the surrendered Ganman surrendered 3,000 troops, a total of 8,000 troops. This number is not much, and besides, the Southern Route Army has fought many battles, and it may not be realistic to insist on going north to join the division.

There was nothing else, and Ji Ya took the time to meet the golden-faced god of war Long Tis. For Parida's deeds, Ji Ya is very respectful. I don't know what she talked to people when she came to the door, and after that, Longtis was still closed.

After explaining to Ruan Yu and Chang Xiu a few times, Ji Ya flew to the north with the sword.

......

Taurus Guanzhong Chun Yu Wuji and Huangfu Yan greeted Ji Ya's arrival.

Unlike the south, the Jinniu Pass remains the same. By the time Ji Ya received the war report, the south had already launched an active offensive and had taken over many cities. After the Northern Route Army broke through, it did not rush south.

Ji Ya didn't say much, since she handed over the military power of the North Road to the two, she had to trust the commander she had appointed.

It turned out that when they broke the Golden Bull Pass, the two of them only had more than 10,000 in their hands, and there were nearly 10,000 troops here, almost reaching one to one. Hedara City is the third largest city in the Ganman Alliance, and its scale is not small. Muradin, with 10,000 men, held out, and if he attacked rashly, what would happen to these surrendered troops?

Previously, Geng Chang led thousands of partial divisions to attack westward, and now he has conquered four cities. He's got the news and he's bringing someone back. To be on the safe side, the two decided to wait for Geng Chang to come back and join the division in the south. As long as the city of Hedara is taken, there will be no big cities in the north of Ulantia to organize a rebellion.

Ji Ya also approved of their plan, and left them a large amount of supplies, and then left.

On the second day after Ji Ya left, Geng Chang led his soldiers and horses to Jinniu Pass, and with the surrendered men and horses, the Northern Route Army had exceeded 28,000 people.

After sorting out the supplies, the three of them led 25,000 men south to the city of Hedara. Leaving 3,000 people to guard the Golden Bull Pass, the guard will be a disciple of the Dragon Sword Gate. Longjianmen sent more than 20 people to assist Ji Ya, and they fought the battlefield to gain fame, and some of them had already achieved a small success.

After losing the Golden Bull Pass, Muradin led a force of 10,000 men to deploy in the city of Hedara, preparing to meet the Northern Route Army, which could move south at any time.

But his efforts were seen by the locals as a sin. Hedara City is the third city in the Ganman Alliance, and it is also a city with relatively weak forces, although the military is not strong here, it can sit firmly in the third place in the alliance, in addition to Hedara City is a thousand-year-old ancient city, but also because this is the most famous university city in the northwest, and it is also the literary and artistic capital of the west.

Because of this, the city of Hedara has a wealth of knowledge. Perhaps in a dilapidated house, a poet's chapter is inscribed. Perhaps at the foot of the city wall, there is a calculation formula left behind by the weathered remnants of the sages and scholars. Or in the second-hand bookstore on the street, there is a hidden history and martial arts secrets that have long since disappeared. And Muradin's actions are to pull this literary and artistic capital into the flames of war.

In the market in the shadow of war, a girl was carrying a basket to pick vegetables, when someone recognized her and shouted: "He's the bloodthirsty carpenter's sister!"

"What!"

"His brother brought war to Hedara, and they still have the face to live in the city!"

After saying that, someone threw things at the girl, and the girl ran away from the other way. She was none other than Muradin's sister. Although he was born in the city of Hedara, as a carpenter's family, Muradinhe had no connection with those knowledge and scholars, but only could read the written language.

Originally, his sister was engaged to a young scholar from a low background, but the arrival of the war and Muradin's persistence caused the marriage to fall through. Now the people of Hedala City knew that the Jinniu Pass was defeated and the Zhou army was coming, and Muradin decided to hold on to the city. This undoubtedly put everyone in crisis, so the Muradin family was also excluded from the whole process.

In the mansion of Hedarabok, Muradin once again argued with the scholars of the city.

"General, don't go your own way anymore, ordinary people can't resist the torrent with just one pair of hands and feet, and if Hedara resists the Zhou army, it will also bring disaster. ”

Muradin said: "Senior, please believe me, the Zhou people are not as strong as they imagined, the city of Hedara is strong, the grain storage is abundant, and the Zhou people's artillery is almost consumed in the Golden Bull Pass, we can definitely hold it." ”

"Even if we hold on, we protect the rule of Ulantia, but we risk undoing the glorious legacy of Hedara for thousands of years!"

"Although the war will be risky, but if we persist until victory, Hedala is still our Hedara. After all, the Zhou people are outsiders, seniors, who can guarantee that they are willing to preserve our culture!?"

"Nonsense, the Great Zhou is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and our Hedala dynasties also have the Golden Canonization of the Great Zhou, and there is no shortage of Zhou students in the city, how can it be possible to destroy Hedara City?"

"It's not the same, it turns out that they are only canonized, as a nominal monarch. Now that they are really going to rule here, we really want to rely on the recognition and respect of the Zhou people for the inheritance of Hedara? What if they want to destroy some of the books and change some of the documents?"

......

Hedara Burke looked at the arguing people, and the situation lasted for several days.

Sending off the exasperated scholars again, he asked, "General, are you still ready to fight?" You once said that if you fail, we can choose to surrender. ”

Muradin did say that at that time he did not have confidence in the defense of Jinniu Pass, and the strength of the Zhou army was unimaginable, after all, it was the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire for hundreds of years. If the Jinniu Pass is completely destroyed, he also has the intention of martyrdom. In that case, Hedara is alone, so it is better to surrender early.

Mu Radin said: "Lord Burke, this time I fought with the Zhou army, they did not have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and the combat power of the soldiers was not high-end. We still have 10,000 people in the city, and it is entirely possible to hold on, and there is even hope that we will turn defeat into victory. Like I said, Hedara was no different under the Great Khan, and even the Great Khan studied in Hedara. And those outsiders of Zhou, will they really completely relax the academic atmosphere of Hedara as they do now?"

Hedara Burke had nothing to say, he was closer to an artist than the highest governor of a city. He was afraid of both the massive bloodshed and the Zhou people who would really destroy Hedara.

During this time, in fact, Muradin also had a psychological struggle, unlike the previous robbers or monsters, this time the two armies were fighting, and once the battle started, how much will the historical essence of this thousand-year-old city be destroyed......

But he still has the ability to fight back, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers, if he does nothing to let Hedara fall into the hands of the Zhou army, the other party really has to do something, but he is really powerless to resist. Expecting the compassion of others will never end well.

In the evening, Muradin returned home, and although he was already a four-winged general under the Great Khan, Muradin's home was not magnificent. It can only be regarded as a slightly better civilian home. I still need my sister to go out shopping and my mother to cook.

Ever since Muradin had to defend the city of Hedara, his family had been ostracized in the city. Because this sister lost her engagement and was wronged in the market today, Muradin didn't know how to comfort her, and she didn't want to see her brother now.

Seeing this, their father and mother also persuaded Muradin to surrender, he was a general, and after surrendering, he might also be reused by the Zhou people.

Muradin decisively refused: "Mother, if it weren't for the promotion of the Great Khan, even if I had the ability, how could a carpenter's son become the general I am today?

When he heard his son talk about the carpenter's son, his father's expression faded. His son is very competitive, but because of his background, he always pulls him back. If he could have been born into a powerful family, his future would have been better now.

The parents didn't say anything more, and went about their own business.

Just then, Muradin's younger brother returned, and he had a younger brother in addition to his younger sister. However, my younger brother is still in school. Since Muradin's career improved, his younger brother was no longer learning carpenter's trade from his father, and he could also go to school, and in the future he would have the opportunity to become a scholar of Hedara.

Seeing that his brother was injured on his face, Muradin frowned and asked, "Who hit you in the face?"

The younger brother did not hide it: "Today in the school, someone said that you brought the scourge of war, so I fought with them. ”

Muradin's fists clenched, but slowly let go again: "In the future, they will scold as they go, and don't fight anymore." ”

"But, I ......"

"Don't worry your father and mother, all you have to do now is study hard. ”

"Got it, brother. ”

At a time when all the people in Hedara City were worried about the arrival of the war, the Northern Route Army had already moved south and approached this literary and artistic capital.
