Suddenly there were a few short screams from outside the tent, like a chicken stuck in the neck of the owner, and soon there was no sound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć King Jing immediately stood up vigilantly, grasped the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, and shouted, "What's going on outside?"
No one answered, only the sound of the boots on the ground, and the tent was getting closer and closer.
"Who is it? King Jing pulled out his long sword suddenly, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he stared coldly in the direction of the tent. On days like this, anything can happen, and he has to be vigilant.
"Hahahaha, King Jing, don't be nervous, it's me. With a hearty and rough laugh, a burly and armored general lifted the curtain and walked in, with a halberd and a smile, who is not King Zhanlong of Jingnan?
"Who am I, it turned out to be the king of Jingnan. King Jing took the long sword, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "The prince is not stationed outside the city, why do you have time to come to me to wander around?"
Seeing King Jing's long sword in the sheath and relaxing his vigilance, King Jingnan's face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "This king is here, naturally he wants your life." ā
There was a loud wind at the mouth of the tent, and a group of soldiers with short stalks quickly got in, each with their fingers clasped in the bracket, and pointed the arrow at King Jing.
King Jing Song Xingguang was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "King Jingnan, you are making a big joke." ā
"Stupid stuff. Do you think I'm joking with you?" War Dragon reprimanded: "I advise you to obediently tie your hands and arrest it, don't think that there is still a chance to turn the tables, the entire camp has been controlled by my people, and those who tried to resist were all beheaded." ā
The cold sweat behind King Jing came out at once, and his whole back was cold. His heart also instantly sank to the bottom of the abdominal cavity. King Jing knew that what Zhan Long said was true, and since he was able to quietly approach the central commander's tent with his own people, it proved that all the guards on the periphery had been wiped out. Otherwise, there will not even be a chance to warn.
"You do this...... There are only two possibilities......" King Jing tried to calm himself down, and said in a calm tone: "Either you want to take advantage of the fire to rob and compete with Prince Zhong for the throne, or your cooperation with us is a bait...... You're still ...... Or the Holy Emperor's man. ā
"Hahaha. Zhan Long looked up to the sky and laughed, nodded and said, "This king has said a long time ago that I am not interested in the throne. Even a man has ambitions, but a smart man should judge the situation and put a shackle on ambition. I was not born into a royal family, and I don't have the blood of a human king in my veins, and if I barely want to become a holy emperor, I will only bring disaster to myself. So, I don't want to reverse at all. ā
"I see. King Jing nodded dejectedly, and said with a sad smile: "Your cooperation with us is fake, but in fact you are an undercover agent of the Holy Emperor, isn't it?"
"You've guessed it, what else do you want this king to say?" Zhan Long spread his hands, looking innocent.
"Hahaha......" King Jing laughed wildly, laughing so much that even tears flowed out: "Song Xingtian, this old fox." Unexpectedly, he calculated it. ā
Thinking that he was infinitely close to success, King Jing's hand seemed to touch the prince's throne, but in the end, he found out that it was just an obsession of his.
Prince Zhong has never been an opponent of the Holy Emperor, he has already lost once in the last time he competed for the position of crown prince, and this time, he is likely to lose even more completely.
They were all fooled, and they fell for the Holy Emperor.
King Jingnan's 200,000 army was under the city, and the city guards in the outer city also knew that King Jingnan's army was an ally, so he could enter the outer city without any defense, and then enter his command camp in the same way, quickly control his forces, and enter his tent.
Being pointed at by dozens of short horses at such a close distance, and there is a strong opponent such as a war dragon standing in front of him, what else can he do except surrender?
Fighting hard is just a dead end. To live, there is still a glimmer of hope. King Jing could only hope that Prince Zhong could break through the city in the fastest time, get rid of the Holy Emperor, and ascend to the throne. When the time comes, King Jingnan will definitely not embarrass him. For this greedy old fellow, it didn't matter who became the Holy Emperor, as long as he could protect his interests in the three southern counties.
King Jing was sure of this. So he didn't try to resist either, and watched King Jingnan's subordinates tie him up.
"It's not enough to just clean me up. King Jing shook his head: "There are still guards in the inner city, they are not so familiar with you." If you want to quietly solve the command battalion of the Guards, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ā
"It's not me, it's not me who solves the Guards. War Dragon shook his head and said lightly: "I'm only responsible for solving you, that's enough." ā
"Who is that?" King Jing frowned, in the imperial capital, in addition to the Central Army and the Southern Army of Zhanlong, there was a third army?
"Northern Storm Field Legion. War Dragon said in a deep voice.
"What?" King Jing was really surprised this time, the Storm Field Army guarding the northern frontier? They were thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, even if the cavalry attacked at full speed, it would take two or three days to arrive, right?
"You still don't understand? The Holy Emperor has already set it up, do you think the Storm Legion is really still on the frontier? They have arrived in the mountain col north of the imperial capital two days ago, ready to stand by at any time. War Dragon shook his head helplessly, sighing that this guy hadn't turned a corner yet.
"Who led the troops? Who led the Storm Legion?" King Jing couldn't help but ask.
"Naturally, he is the supreme commander of the Storm Field Army, General Wei Qianliwei. When Zhan Long said this name, he couldn't help but change his tone slightly.
"General Wei. Wei Qianli. King Jing gasped.
said that Zhan Long was the first fierce general in the military, and that was ten years ago. In the past ten years, Zhan Long has lived a luxurious and comfortable life in Jiuchi Meat Forest in the three southern counties, and the battlefield is already a scene in his memory. With his retirement, a group of outstanding military generals emerged in the empire, among which General Wei, who fought with foreign races in the northern grasslands all the year round, was the most eye-catching.
General Wei's name was Wei Qianli, at the age of twenty-eight, he was born as a poor hunter in the Cangling Mountains in the north of the empire, joined the army at the age of sixteen, and soon rose to prominence.
Because of his courage in battle, his level-headedness, and his strong sense of the overall situation, he was soon promoted to the rank of centurion. He passed on the magic archery skills he had practiced since childhood to his soldiers, and his team of 100 soon became the "Killing God Arrow Team" that made the grassland people fearful, the grassland people were famous for being good at riding and shooting, Wei Qianli's magic arrow team had a longer range than them, and the accuracy was more than them, every time the two sides shot at each other, Wei Qianli's cavalry team was always far away from them, and the arrows of the grassland people could not fly in front of them, but Wei Qianli's arrow team could always penetrate the opponent's neck.
Twelve years later, he had risen from a lowest-ranking soldier to the supreme commander of the Empire's Northern Field Legion, during which he had fought one hundred and twenty-seven battles with the steppe aliens, all of which were defeated.
At first glance, General Wei does not look like the kind of powerful general, on the contrary, he has a slender figure and a handsome face, more like a weak scholar than a fierce general galloping on the battlefield. However, he was born with divine powers, and he could draw a strong bow of 400 stones, with a range of 500 meters. The commonly used weapon is not a spear, but an eight-edged purple gold hammer weighing more than 500 catties.
Legend has it that in a grassland war, General Wei chased 3,000 enemy troops and fled for more than 400 miles, annihilating 357 enemies. The entire grassland tribes, more than a million people, heard the name of "White Horse God Hammer Guard", and they were all terrified.
The common name used by women on the steppe to scare their children is not the vicious jackal, tiger and leopard, but "General Wei". "No matter how naughty you are, General Wei will come to arrest you......" and so on, which can usually scare the naughty boy into submission. It is enough to see how strong General Wei's deterrent effect is on the steppe people.
Originally, the northern army was dominated by infantry, and cavalry accounted for only forty percent. But since General Wei took the helm, the cavalry has been vigorously developed. In the war with the steppe people, he harvested a large number of war horses, these booty gave him enough capital to form cavalry, and at the same time he had the foresight to open the northern border and the steppe people to trade, with food, textiles and other necessary materials for the steppe people and the steppe people to exchange horses, over time, his number of war horses reached a terrifying number. It can not only meet the cavalry formation needs of the Northern Legion, but also bear the needs of other cavalry teams in the Empire.
At present, the 200,000 troops in the Northern Field Army have all been converted into cavalry. Under the iron cavalry of General Wei, the alien races in the northern steppes rarely had the courage to attack.
General Youwei guarded the northern border, and the people of the steppe basically did not dare to set off any big storms, and in recent years, there have only been a few small battles, and major battles have basically disappeared.
With such a legendary general, suddenly attacking the imperial capital, it is no wonder that King Jing felt a little frightened.
"It can't be...... There are our people in the military department, and it is impossible for Prince Zhong not to know about such a large-scale military transfer......" King Jing's eyes were glazed, and he kept talking to himself.
"Hey...... Military Department ...... Do you think your people are monolithic?" the war dragon laughed mockingly.
King Jing instantly understood that since Prince Zhong could infiltrate the Holy Emperor, the Holy Emperor could also infiltrate Prince Zhong's side. The important ministers of the military department that Prince Zhong relied on may actually be the people of the Holy Emperor.
That's it, that's it, it seems that every move of Prince Zhong is in the calculation of the Holy Emperor.
King Jing looked at Zhan Long for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "The Holy Emperor still doesn't trust you, otherwise why would he need to transfer General Wei's Northern Army back? Your 200,000 troops, with deliberate calculations or unintentional, are enough to contain the City Guards and the Guards." The Holy Emperor just doesn't want you to enter the inner city. ā
"I know. War Dragon smiled, "I know this better than you. ā
"Then why do you want to cooperate with him, if you completely fall in favor of us, you may get more. King Jing did not give up his last effort.
"That's because I don't think you can win. Zhan Long's smile did not change: "In this incident, everyone is a gambler, and I am no exception. For gamblers, it is always necessary to bet on the side that seems to want more. In my judgment, the Holy Emperor will win the final victory. ā
King Jing glared fiercely at the war dragon, and after a full quarter of an hour, he bowed his head and sighed. Previously, he had always believed that Prince Zhong would win, but at this moment, he had the same opinion as Zhan Long, Prince Zhong had never been the opponent of the Holy Emperor, not before, not now, and even less in the future.
The war dragon didn't say anything more, and ordered his men to escort him down.
