When Huangfu Yan returned to Hedara City, it was already the next morning. Seeing that this literary and artistic capital was not affected by too many wars, Huangfu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they are not here to sabotage and make revenge.

However, in addition to this, he also secretly lamented that Muradin did not understand the overall situation, and lost his life for stubbornness for a certain defeat. Such people are respectable, pitiful, annoying, but also very pity.

Chun Yu Wuji and Geng Chang saw that Huangfu Yan did not bring back Muladin's body or head, but only brought back the other party's longbow, and immediately came to ask what was going on.

When he learned what had happened, he felt sorry for Muradin. Although there was no proof of the corpse, both of them believed in Huangfu Yan's judgment, so they also believed that Muradin had been killed.

Huangfu thought for a while and said, "I heard that Muradin is a native of Hedara, and there is also a family here, I want to go and see it." ”

"That's not quite right. Chun Yu Wuji said. After all, Huangfu Yan had just killed Muradin, so he went to see his family, and if there was any conflict, he was afraid that it would not end well.

Originally, Ji Ya's order was to deprive the cities that were enemies of the army of autonomy and to be governed by officials appointed by the princess of Liang. Logically speaking, the same is true of Hedara. But in order to win over the hearts of the people in this literary and artistic capital, this allowed Hedarabok to continue to govern.

The people of Hedala are still in a state of panic, and it will be difficult for them to break out in the event of a conflict.

Of course, Huangfu Yan also understood: "Don't worry, I heard that Muladin was born in a carpenter family, and he is not like those powerful people, so he can't hurt me." ”

Then the emperor took people to Muradin's house, and after a night of chaos, the city of Hedala gradually restored order, and the people saw that the Zhou people really did not offend the common people, so they also dared to go out of the house.

was walking, suddenly saw the crowd in front of him, it seemed to shout something, the emperor led people forward, Hedara City was decided, don't cause any more trouble.

Unexpectedly, the people around are pulling a few people, as if they are still a family. Huangfu Yan immediately called for people to go and bring the crowd.

Huangfu Yance stepped forward immediately, frowning: "What's the matter, why are you making trouble here?"

Although they didn't know the general of the Zhou people right away, the people around them still knew that the person in front of them was a big official, so someone said: "General, we didn't make trouble, we were arresting traitors." If it weren't for them, Hedara would have been under the rule of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she would not have killed and injured so many people because of the war. ”

Although the fighting in Hedara ended early, there were still some casualties. Not only did there be bloodshed and sacrifice, but also all the people were frightened together, and now that they have just turned the corner, they naturally need an outlet for catharsis.

Huang Fu Yan looked at it, there were four people in front of him, an elderly couple, and a pair of children behind him, when the form was chaotic just now, the boy was protecting the girl.

"Why are they traitors, what did they do!?" asked Huangfu Yan.

"They are Muradin's family, if it weren't for Muradin's insistence on fighting, how could so many people have died?"

The boy suddenly said, "My brother is not a traitor, he is fighting for you!" and his father immediately grabbed him.

"Nonsense, Lord Burke had already intended to surrender, if he hadn't stopped him, how could he still fight?"

"That is, this Ganliang is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and now the canonization of the princess is justified, why should Mu Latin make up his mind for us!"

"Yes, if it weren't for him, everyone would have been safe!"

Everyone said a word, and they spewed their anger at Muradin's family. In practical terms, the current situation is favorable for the rule of the Zhou people. As for Muradin, if he is dead, what else does he care?

However, Huangfu Yan was very uncomfortable in his heart, and after several battles, he sincerely admired Muradin's archery skills. He is considered to be a famous teacher, but Muradin, the son of a carpenter in Biansai, has relied on his own exploration to get to where he is today. If the starting point is the same, Muradin may not lose to himself.

However, Muradin's family wanted to argue with reason, but it was difficult to resist the anger of the public, after all, although Muradin, the general, was a Hedara, he was born in a carpenter family, which was very incompatible with the capital of literature and art.

In the past, everyone didn't say anything, but now he insisted on the war, and in the end he lost the war. The harder you step on him, the more you seem to be able to express your enthusiasm for the 'new monarch'.

His family was still arguing with the original neighbors, but the arrival of Huangfu Yan broke the situation.

This group of angry civilians may be able to deal with it, but what if these Zhou officials know about the relationship between their family and Muradin and kill the whole family in a fit of rage? Muladin's father wanted to stop his youngest son from speaking out, but the people around him still broke their identity!

Huangfu Yan can understand the people's venting, but he is not used to such an act. But he wasn't going to reason with everyone either. Because he didn't think it was worth it. Muradin has risked his life, and he is still commenting like this, what's the point of bothering himself to talk more?

Huangfu Yan said, "Come on, take them back with me." ”

Muladin's father thought that General Zhou really wanted to do something to his whole family, so he knelt down and said: "General, my wife and children are innocent, you want to kill me! Don't even kill them, I beg you!"

Huangfu Yan shook his head: "No one wants to kill you, it's just that you are not suitable here, come with me." ”

The Emperor took Muradin's family and looked back at the people, who dispersed with joy, as if they had done something great. Isn't it just a joint effort to bully an old neighborhood, what's there to be happy about?

Having said that, Huangfu Yan didn't pay attention to it, perhaps because he was afraid of being implicated, so their party was different. Obviously he was only the defeated side, but he relied on squeezing out the so-called traitors and felt the posture of the winner.

Just let them be happy, cause less trouble, and help the Northern Route Army to receive this literary and artistic capital. As for Muladin's family, it can be resettled, and Huangfu Yan also wants to take the opportunity to learn about the past of this opponent.

......

Once again, the Central Route Army repelled the enemy's attack.

The war has become more and more convenient so far, and the enemy's offensive sharpness is getting worse and worse. Ji Ya had already sensitively discovered that although her own sweet and righteous courage and White Tiger Wind were still short in the days of becoming an army, they were far less elite than the other party. But in fact, the opposing coalition forces are also newcomers to the road.

In the land of Sweet Coolness, the various families are rampant, and the tribes live separately. Even if there was a dispute, the total number of troops on both sides was only 10,000 or 20,000. In addition to resisting the demon clan outside the pass, there was almost no one place to join forces, and 100,000 troops were gathered to engage in corps combat.

In the final analysis, the 100,000 army is just a rabble of gangs and self-aggrandizement. But as long as Ji Ya stabilized her position, she defeated a few attacks. Then they will hesitate and there will be a rift. Sometimes it is more difficult to protect yourself in front of your own people than in front of your enemies. After all, no one wants to put their net worth and life on the platform for others. Therefore, Ji Ya is less and more refined, and the more the coalition army fights, the more depressed they become.

Before Ji Ya flew north and south, she was not in the Chinese army for a while, and the Ganman coalition army attacked, Jian Tu deliberately bought a flaw, but the other party really took the bait and organized a strong attack again. It just so happened that Ji Ya also came back smoothly. So he took advantage of this attack, which can be regarded as a hard blow to the Ganman Alliance.

In this case, some Burke, who came to help the battle, unconsciously had an idea in their hearts, but before anyone came forward, everyone still waited and watched.

That very night, a special guest came to the camp of a small town in the corner of the coalition army, who was considered to be one of his nephews.

Burke said in surprise, "Is this true?"

The nephew hurriedly responded: "It's true, uncle, when I came out, Hedara was already surrounded, maybe the city has been broken now." ”

The small city of Burke got up and walked a few steps in the tent, his city was not large, and there were less than two thousand full-time soldiers, this time in response to the Great Khan Duchang, he brought a thousand soldiers and horses, leaving less than eight hundred to defend the city.

In fact, his city doesn't have much demand for the Ganman Alliance, and it is more about living together and taking care of each other. Unlike some cities, you can make a lot of money with the help of commerce. It's just that he is within the Ganman Alliance, and the Great Khan can't refuse to summon him.

Now the situation is different, if the Golden Bull Pass is not lost, he may not have an idea. The Golden Bull Pass was occupied, and Hedara was surrounded, so his city was not far from the front of the Northern Route Army.

The nephew of the small town Burke had rushed over from the siege of Hedara, so he did not know that the city had been broken at this moment. Although Hedara is known as the third largest city in the Ganman Alliance, in fact, everyone has little hope for the military level of this literary and artistic capital. Losing the Taurus Pass is equivalent to losing Hedara. There will be no surprises in the end.

"What did your aunt say?" and "his wife was not a simple courtyard lady, but a merchant's daughter.

The nephew replied: "My aunt said, Princess Liang Guo said before that as long as she surrenders, she will not change the internal affairs of the city, so no matter what happens to you here, as long as the Zhou army arrives, she will immediately choose to sacrifice the city." At least keep your cousin's inheritance, and you'd better break away from the coalition as soon as possible. ”

Xiaocheng Burke nodded, he didn't blame his wife, although this choice was tantamount to giving up his son, but at least the family could continue. Otherwise, if only 800 people want to rebel against the Zhou army, then there will only be the end of extermination. Of the 1,000 people he brought out, there were only more than 400 left.

Unlike the initial high spirits, the momentum of the coalition forces has been severely setback, and almost every Burke who came to support began to think about his little ninety-nine. The mighty Ganman coalition can no longer be the help of the Great Khan Duchang, but is more like a constraint.

In fact, long before the start of the war, Hassan, the staff of the Great Khan Duchang, had proposed that the armies of Ulantia and Ulchi should be used as the main force, and the two sides together would have almost 50,000 people, which would be enough to fight Ji Ya from afar, and as for the remaining 60,000 Burke coalition troops, they would just watch from the sidelines. On the one hand, it can show them strength so that it can be controlled in the future. On the other hand, the main forces of these people should be concentrated, so that the Urantian army would not be on an expedition, and they would make some small moves in the rear.

In other words, in Hassan's plan, these coalition forces are not the main force, and they do not even have to go to war.

Great Khan Duchang naturally understood the thoughts of this friend, and it was true that it was easier to unify the command by streamlining the troops in this way. But he also has his own ideas, after all, the number of this coalition army is not small, what if he and Princess Ji Ya are both defeated, and they take the opportunity to make trouble? Not to mention that he also has the heart, take this opportunity to use Ji Ya's army to eliminate some local troops. It not only preserves his own lineage, but also helps to ambush other cities in the future. It's just that if this kind of operation is won, it's better to say that the headwind of the battle situation is easier to attract hatred.

It's a pity that they used strong means to take over the city of Ulchi, and in order to prevent the remaining magnates in the city from rebounding and cutting off the retreat, Hassan has been staying in the city and has not been able to give advice to the Great Khan Duchang at all times, so he has not been able to stop it in time.

Now that the loss of the 100,000 coalition forces has been one-third, the casualties of the Burkes who came to help the war from all walks of life are not small, so in this case, they naturally need to be inspired, so they will attack in a hurry last time, and they have suffered a wave of big losses due to the strategy of Jian Tu.

The small city of Burke thought of a way out, and it was almost a sure thing that his own city would be occupied in the rear, and now it was not so much that the army of the Ganman Alliance had blocked Princess Jiya's attack. It is better to say that Princess Ji Ya used a small number of troops to contain the main force of Ulantia, and another surprise army broke through on the flank. It's hard to say what happened to the south, but as long as Hedara was taken in the north, all the small cities would have no power to stop it all the way to Ulantiya.

Burke, who has at least three or four small towns, including himself, is now faced with a choice. The hundreds of people under his command are like kites with broken strings floating outside. If you still insist on going your own way, you may be affected by the family in the future.

As for saying that Ulantia still has a chance to turn defeat into victory...... It's impossible to look at it.

Thinking of this, the little city Burke finally made up his mind, and he said to his nephew: "Well, I have no choice at this point, I have brought out a thousand men from the city, and now there are less than five hundred, and I cannot take them to death." You immediately help me to go to the Zhou camp, and inform Her Royal Highness of my situation in full about me, and do not exaggerate or conceal it. Presumably, the princess will know that she does not ask for merit, but she can ask for forgiveness. ”

The nephew nodded and said, "I'll go now." "After all, all my wealth is on my uncle, and of course I have to protect my family at this moment.

Xiaocheng Burke nodded and said: "You came in a hurry, and you haven't been noticed yet, this matter needs to be concealed, and it is inconvenient to give you a certificate and letter......"

The nephew immediately said: "I understand, uncle, even if the other party doesn't believe it, I won't complain to you if I don't return to this trip." ”
