Luokou City now belongs to the Xia Kingdom, which is a big city, a two-way trade distribution center on the waterfront, and it is very prosperous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is bordered by the Luo River to the west and the Li River to the north, and is cut into a triangle on the south bank of the Li River by the Luo River and the Li River at the mouth of the river.

On the west bank of the upper reaches of the Luo River is Basu City, which is also a very prosperous city.

Now Luokou City is facing the side of Li Jiang, which can be said to be a banner waving thousands of horses galloping, and the same is true on the other side.

On the river, the drums of the Xia State and the navy are shaking the sky, and the flags and sails are waving, shuttling back and forth.

The joint camp on the bank of the Luokou City River for dozens of miles was filled with a murderous aura that rushed to the sky, and this was part of the main force of the Shenwei Army that had not long arrived.

Far away on the north shore are the military horses of the Li Kingdom.

Because Miao Xin arrived in time with his people, the soldiers and horses of the Li State who wanted to cross the river to capture Luokou City could only sigh that their luck was bad and they missed a good opportunity.

In fact, even if the Shenwei army did not arrive, it was not easy for the Li army to cross the river and seize Luokou City.

However, the Qin army pressed the border and restrained most of the water army, so the water army alone could only be regarded as harassing and hindering the Li army from crossing the river.

If the Qin army crossed the Chen River and marched south, the naval army would have to go up the Shuojiang River to meet the Qin army, and it would not care about the downstream Li army, so Zhang Xiancai realized these and sent a main force of the Shenwei Army to Luokou City to shock the Li army.

Now Zhang Xian did not plan to start a war with the Li State, as long as he deterred them from acting rashly, but because of this, he also restrained his nearly two legions.

The Zhenwei army guarded Mochizuki City and the land behind it, and could not be distracted.

A part of the Yangwei Army stayed here to assist the Shenwei Army in garrisoning Luokou City.

This made Zhang Xian very entangled but helpless.

Zhang Xian naturally will not give up the cities of the former Li Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land in the East Li Kingdom is his father's inheritance, and he cannot give it up.

However, Li Guo once again acted as a pawn of Qin State, which is really hateful.

Ling Tao made a comeback, and his strong shot once again controlled Li Duan, the sad king.

Li Hui and the masters of the Li family, as well as the descendants of Baxun, were surrounded by the puppet army of tens of thousands of fearless people who suddenly appeared, and after a bitter battle, they suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to Lingshan for refuge.

However, King Li Duan failed to retreat as he wished, and he was captured by Fuhu.

In addition to the puppet kings of the Li Kingdom, Kanwu City and the surrounding major cities have once again changed power, and the Black Lotus Holy Sect controls most of the Li Kingdom.

Han Yu is now worth twice as much, managing the Black Lotus Holy Sect on behalf of the sect leader, and has been entrusted with the management of Taichang Temple.

Taichang Temple, Zhangling Temple, ritual and music rituals, astronomical number of clothes and crowns, etc.

It can be described as a black and white all-you-can-eat, and it can be said that he is a character who walks sideways in the country of Li.

Although it looks beautiful, the temperament of the master he follows has changed greatly, and he is more gloomy than before, and every day is a day of horror.

Han Yu secretly defected to Zhang Xian, but now he didn't dare to make the slightest move, let alone contact Zhang Xian's people, and put all his thoughts into managing the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but he also did a good job, and Ling Tao appreciated it deeply.

There are also many elites of the Black Lotus Holy Sect in the Li Army, but these people Han Yu can't manage, they are directly under Ling Tao, so Han Yu can't control the Li Army.

The envoys of the Qin State came again, and they wanted to find Li Duan, but they were blocked by Taiwei Ling Tao.

"If there is something to talk to me, Your Majesty is occasionally feeling the wind and cold and is recuperating. ”

"What are you!"

The envoy didn't look down on Ling Tao at all.

Ling Tao's face was gloomy, his eyes showed murderous intent, and his cold murderous aura made the envoy shudder.

He didn't look down on Ling Tao because Ling Tao was too young, in his twenties, he was at most a noble child in the Qin court, and he was a guard who worked hard to get a good errand.

"Come on, beat me to death with a stick, and drag me out to feed the wolves. ”

Ling Tao didn't say anything, just looked at the envoy coldly, but the henchmen around him were angry, beckoning someone to beat the envoy of the Qin State to death.

The envoy is not alone, there are several masters behind him, and the Xuanshi Holy Master is a cultivator, and he is the envoy's servant.

Because he came from the Qin State, he was a special envoy, arrogant and domineering, and he didn't look down on the small Li State at all, so he didn't know about the situation of the Li State when he came, so he offended the people who actually controlled the Li State.

Hulalai poured up a group of black-armored warriors, these people had a horse lance in their hands, revealing an eerie atmosphere, and neatly aimed the horse lance at the key point of the envoy and his subordinates.

At this time, another group of people appeared, these people were normal public guards, they each had an iron rod, the iron rod was dark red, and it exuded a bloody smell, no need to look closely, it must have been soaked in human blood to make it discolor, emitting a disgusting smell.

Although the envoy of the Qin State is very domineering, his cultivation is not low, it can be seen that the evil spirit of these two groups of people is pressing, and they suddenly wilted.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, my lord, I'm just here to convey the will of God. ”

Ling Tao wanted to beat him to death, but his mentality has changed a little now, he is no longer impulsive, and he thinks twice about doing things, after all, he is more mature in his heart.

He wanted to start from the Li Kingdom, but the geographical location of the Li Kingdom was not very ideal, it was semi-surrounded by Zhang Xian's Xia Kingdom, the old enemy Suli State in the west, and a third of the territory in the north was out of control, which was not counting the threat of the Cangyue Kingdom, which was also an old enemy.

It is true that Li is in the land of four wars, and because of the consumption of civil strife during this time, the national strength is unbearable, and the arrival of the envoy of Qin brought Ling Tao an opportunity to break through the siege, but the arrogance of the envoy of Qin made him kill.

The envoy softened, Ling Tao's face was slightly warm, and he waved his hand, and the black-armored warrior and the palace guards put away their weapons and withdrew.

In fact, Emperor Qin's will was for Li to send troops to attack Xia, and the promised benefit was that no matter how many cities Li captured, its territory and materials would belong to Li.

In fact, Emperor Qin painted a big cake for Li Guo, he did not send a single soldier, did not need to consume a little money and materials, let Li Guo contain Xia Guo, in order to facilitate the battle of Wuyue Hou to cross the river, as for whether Emperor Qin really fulfilled his promise after the war, only God knows.

Everyone can see this clearly, and Ling Tao naturally knows it, but now he also wants to use the Qin State to break the chains that bind the Li State, as for whether the Qin State can destroy the Xia State, Ling Tao has an opinion on this matter.

It is absolutely impossible to destroy the Xia Kingdom, but it is possible to hit the Xia Kingdom hard, and it is conservatively estimated that it is difficult to keep the territory outside of Chu.

So what Ling Tao did was to take the opportunity to take back the original territory of the Li Kingdom, that is, the Eastern Li Kingdom and the several cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and even take the opportunity to occupy the eastern part of the South Suri Kingdom as his own, so that the chains would collapse.

So he appointed the general Liu Guozhong to take command of the expedition.

300,000 elites were exhausted, including 10,000 remnants of the navy.

Liu Guozhong has a heavy army, and Ling Tao can only appease and recruit him.

Liu Guozhong also had no choice but to come up with a trick of surrendering to Han and not to Cao, and was loyal to King Li Duan, but he had to obey the dispatch of Taiwei Ling Tao.

Ling Tao's use of Liu Guozhong is actually a helpless move, in addition to the fact that he is in charge of the vast majority of the soldiers and horses of the Li State and does not dare to move him easily, there is also that Ling Tao really does not have outstanding military talents, and he cannot find a good general who can command thousands of troops and horses.

In the Li Kingdom, only he is considered a general, but he does not dare to leave Kyoto Kanwu City easily, and those people of the Li family are trapped in Lingshan, eyeing the opportunity to counterattack, which really annoys him.

Ling Tao absorbed the dark energy that Wu Bogang had precipitated for hundreds of years, obtained the fourth chapter of the Black Lotus Bible, and accepted all of Wu Bogang's ones, which means that the elite disciples of the Black Lotus Holy Sect that Wu Bogang mastered were all attached to him, which gave him the ability to drive away the family elites that Li Duan relied on, including Li Hui Ancestor.

But it is difficult to eliminate these people from the Li family.

Because Lingshan is supported by a rune array, the ancestral tomb of the Li family is there, and there are a lot of grain, grass, weapons and equipment in it, Li Hui led the family elite to retreat here, Ling Tao attacked several times, not to mention the loss of soldiers, but there was no way at all, so he had to send people to besiege Lingshan.

Ling Tao usurped power, although he left a puppet king Li Duan, but the entire military and political power was in his hands.

Although he strongly occupied the Li country, but he knew very well that the vast majority of the Li people still did not recognize him, they had different intentions, but they were not able to resist, if he left Kanwu City, the Li family would take the opportunity to fight back, and the vast majority of the Li people would return to the Li family, and it would be difficult for him to seize power again.

Liu Guozhong led his troops to prepare to take Luokou City as a breakthrough point, and when he occupied Luokou City, he would have a foothold, and he was steadily advancing to seize some cities in the south of the Yangtze River, which was not impossible.

But Liu Guozhong is selfish, he can't really surrender to Ling Tao, cross the river, and get rid of Ling Tao's control, so he is very concerned about capturing Luokou City.

made careful arrangements, waited for the time to come, and took Luokou City in one fell swoop.

However, this opportunity has not appeared, that is, the Xia State Navy is indeed powerful, cruising in the Li River, making him at a loss.

The Li State Navy was disabled, there were not many warships left, and he did not dare to contact the Xia State Navy at all, and his 300,000 horses could compete with Liao Weikai's Zhenwei Army on land, but on the Li River, no matter how many others there were, they could only hope that Jiang Xing sighed.

After dozens of days of looking at Luokou City in this way but helpless, suddenly one day he heard the people on the other side shouting horses and neighing drums and horns, and after standing on the watchtower and taking a look, Liu Guozhong's heart was cold.

"The internal war in the Xia Kingdom has ended, and the most elite Shenwei army has arrived, and a Li River is dangerous, which has bought Zhang Xian time, and he wants to capture Luokou City, hehe, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”

Liu Guozhong was very angry, he was not in a hurry to attack Zhang Xian, but was in a hurry to cross the river, and after he crossed the river with 300,000 horses, he had bargaining chips to negotiate with Zhang Xian.

It is also said that he wanted to defect to Zhang Xian, but he wanted to bring a big gift, trying to give him an ideal position for Zhang Xian, and he had some grudges with Zhang Xian, and it was difficult to resolve without a heavy gift.

But God didn't give him a chance.

The continuous rain and the river swelled, making it difficult for Wu Yuehou to enter the army, and failed to attract the Xia State water army.

When the weather improved and the river fell, Xia reinforcements arrived、、、
