Chapter 1172: Desperate Situation and Despair
As if he had been hit hard, King Zhennan's body was unsteady on his feet, and he almost fell, and his face was even pale.
An army of 250,000 people, that's his family's background! He took out all his family's resources, originally to capture Yongcheng in one fell swoop and completely defeat the king of Pingxi, who would have thought that his 250,000 army would be completely finished before he even reached Weicheng!
"What the hell is going on?" asked Black Bone.
The sergeant said: "My lord, the army is still two hundred miles away from Weicheng, and takes water from the Heihe River for cooking, who knows that the water has been poisoned." All 250,000 troops were poisoned. After nightfall, many soldiers suddenly appeared out of the black river, they rushed into the barracks, and killed anyone they encountered, and the army of 250,000 people, poisoned to death, killed to death, and the last one was left. ”
"Ji Chang!"
King Zhennan suddenly let out a terrible cry, "Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky!"
Such a change came so suddenly, and the 250,000 troops died at the hands of the king of Pingxi before they even went to the battlefield.
"How is it possible? The water of the Heihe River flows very fast, even if it is poisoned, what poison can pollute the entire Heihe?" Jiang Xiaobai said puzzled.
Black Bone said: "It must have been done by Jia Luo, only he has the ability." King Pingxi did not act for a long time, just waiting for the king of Zhennan to transfer the army. The king of Zhennan blew up his camp north of the city, and he returned a big gift to the king of Zhennan. ”
King Zhennan has completely lost his former composure, the 250,000 army is all dead, and he has no cards to play. Even if he sent people to Yecheng to transfer troops, he could only transfer tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, and if all the old, weak, sick and disabled were mobilized, what should the guards of Yecheng do?
King Zhennan, who originally had the upper hand, fell into such a situation overnight, extremely passive. Now, if he stubbornly defends Wei City, with the existing soldiers and horses in Wei City, how can he resist the King of Heping Xi, and does he really have to rely on those people to defend the city? If he gives up Wei City, then he will be declared a complete defeat in this battle, and he will no longer have the capital to compete for the throne of Heping Xiwang, and he will be completely out of the race for the throne.
King Zhennan looked at Black Bone, and now he couldn't care about anything, so he rushed to Black Bone and grabbed Black Bone's arm.
"Black Bone Shaman, now this king can only rely on you. You hurry up and write to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to send troops to help. ”
At this time, King Zhennan could only think of using the power of the Ghost Emperor to fight against King Pingxi.
"Lord Wang, don't do it!"
At this time, Wu Xun walked in from outside, and he had just learned the news of the annihilation of the 250,000 army. Even if he was as clever as him, he didn't expect King Pingxi to make such a trick.
"Wu Junshi, how should this king be?"
At this moment, King Zhennan is like a drowning child, and he wants to use anyone he catches as a life-saving straw.
Wu Xun said: "Lord Wang, you should think about it calmly! Once the Ghost Emperor's army comes, and he finishes cleaning up King Pingxi, the next person to clean up will be you! The tiger drove away the jackals, will it be merciful to the sheep?"
Hei Gu said coldly: "Wu military division, Your Majesty's army is the army of the king, is it as unbearable as you say? Wei City is a fief given by His Majesty to the prince. We were also sent by His Majesty to assist the prince. His Majesty has high hopes for the prince. His Majesty often said that among the royal family, the one who most resembled him when he was young was King Zhennan. ”
King Zhennan said: "Yes, Your Majesty is the uncle of this king, and my father is the brother of the same mother, and he will definitely not harm this king." ”
Wu Xun said: "King Pingxi's father and prince, your father is also a brother, you and King Pingxi are cousins, has King Pingxi ever read the love of flesh and blood?
"King Pingxi is like a jackal by nature, he eats people and does not spit out bones, and the Ukrainian military division compares him with His Majesty, which is simply a great insult to His Majesty!"
Wu Xun looked at King Zhennan and said, "Lord Wang, please hold back and think about what I said." ”
"Go down, all of you, for this king needs to be quiet. King Zhennan seemed to be drained of his spirit, looking languishing like a deflated ball, waving his hands weakly.
Jiang Xiaobai and Hei Gu left the hall.
"King Pingxi is really powerful, this time he can be regarded as pulling the tendons of King Zhennan. ”
Black Bone said: "It's not just cramps, it's also skinning! That's an army of 250,000 people! King Zhennan transferred all his elites, and he originally thought that ending his battle with the King of Pingxi here, but he didn't expect it to be such a result." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "This result is very good." King Zhennan was greatly injured, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover. King Pingxi was no better. The more than 200,000 soldiers and horses he brought to Wei City were also buried here. The strength of these two feudal kings has now been greatly weakened, and it is the most beneficial to the old emperor. ”
After going back, Hei Gu immediately wrote a letter to the Ghost Emperor, explaining the situation here. If the King of Zhennan really agreed to borrow troops from the Ghost Emperor, all of this would be much easier. Even if the King of Zhennan disagrees, the Ghost Emperor can also send troops.
If you want to win a battle on the battlefield, there is no morality to talk about, and only by seizing the fighter plane can you win a decisive victory. The Ghost Emperor finally waited for the situation that was most beneficial to him, and the vitality of the two major vassal kings was greatly damaged, and this was the most favorable time to send troops to exterminate the two vassal kings.
Hei Gu had already asked the Ghost Emperor to send troops immediately in the letter, and the situation of the vassal king, who had affected the situation of the Ghost Kingdom for many years, was about to come to an end. Once these two feudal lords were defeated, the remaining feudal lords who had divided their positions would naturally declare their allegiance. They didn't have the strength of the two feudal kings, so they originally wanted to fish in troubled waters in this troubled world to see if they could fight for a little profit. Once the two vassal kings are finished, they will naturally break off the idea of separating the throne and obediently pay taxes to the ghost emperor.
That night, the king of Zhennan sent someone to invite Jiang Xiaobai and Heigu over. The two of them still saw King Zhennan in the hall in the morning, and just a few hours passed, and King Zhennan's green hair turned into a head full of frost and snow.
"Lord, you ......"
King Zhennan raised his hand and said, "This king is very good. ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Lord Wang, let's open it, the situation of King Pingxi may not be much better than yours." ”
King Zhennan said: "This king has thought about it for a day, and now I am afraid that only His Majesty can save this king." Black bones, you present this to your majesty for this king. ”
King Zhennan's close attendant sent a scroll, and the black bone unfolded it and glanced at it, the content inside was very simple, that is, King Zhennan was willing to submit to the Ghost Emperor, but asked to retain his title of prince.
