Chapter 17. Expedition.

As soon as it dawned the next day, Feng Xiaotian was already dressed neatly, and entered the palace to meet him, and pedestrians avoided him along the way, and even the second generation of officials who were usually high-flying and domineering were a lot more honest, because according to reliable news, the prince's mansion was slaughtered last night, and there was not a single person alive in nearly a thousand people in the whole mansion. And even the king himself went and didn't give the murderer anything.

So along the way, everyone was discussing, who was this ruthless man who dared to kill the prince in front of the king? And why did he do this? Hearing these people's discussions, Feng Xiaotian didn't think so, and walked directly towards the gate of the palace. When I arrived, I saw a group of officials who were preparing for the funeral.

Feng Xiaotian just glanced at it lightly and ignored it, and the guards at the door immediately stepped forward to salute respectfully when they saw that it was the King of Chang'an, and one of them said:

"His Royal Highness the King of Chang'an, Your Majesty has an order, saying that if you come, go directly to the Council Palace, where is there a special person responsible for the reception. ”

Feng Xiaotian nodded and walked towards the council hall with the guards inside, His Majesty obviously didn't want to publicize the cause of the prince's death, after all, cannibalism is not a glorious thing after all, and the cause of death is also planning to find a good excuse to settle this matter.

When he arrived at the main hall, he found that King Jin was already waiting for him there, at this time King Jin no longer had the calmness of the past, I saw that his face was nervous, his eyes were dark, and his clothes were still the same as last night, it can be seen that he spent all night here, it seems that the prince's affairs scared him enough, this kid didn't dare to go back to the house all night, let alone sleep. Seeing Feng Xiaotian coming, he was directly frightened and shivered, and then smiled a little embarrassedly:

"The king of Chang'an is early, he was confused before, and there were many offends, and I also asked the king of Chang'an to be magnanimous, and in the future, I will definitely take the king of Chang'an. ”

After speaking, he also gave a deep salute, Feng Xiaotian only smiled faintly at this, and then casually found a seat and sat down to taste tea, King Jin's already embarrassed face when he saw this became even more ugly. Fortunately, someone came to report at this time, saying:

"His Majesty the King has arrived!"

Only then did the two of them stand up and look out the door. I saw that His Majesty the King walked in generously, but his face was a little dark, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously sleepless all night, and when he saw that the king and the two began to salute, and the king just nodded casually and sat on the throne. At the same time, he looked at the two people below with a complicated look.

Naturally, King Jin is embarrassed, because he also has a part in framing King Chang'an, so the punishment is being discussed. As for Feng Xiaotian, what should he do to him? Yu Qing killed the prince, embarrassed himself, and should be punished heavily. But it stands to reason that he is the victim who fought back and retaliated, and after thinking about it, he said to Feng Xiaotian:

"King Chang'an, you have been wronged this time, what wishes you can put forward. ”

Feng Xiaotian was not polite when he saw this, and directly replied:

"Father, I have only two wishes. ”

The king was relieved to see that he had only two wishes, and at the same time asked curiously:

"Which two wishes?"

"First, about the murderer Xu Ling, I don't plan to pursue it anymore, and I asked my father to let her go. Feng Xiaotian said indifferently.

The king breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself that I thought this boy was going to kill again. I didn't expect it to be this request, and said generously: "What about the second one?"

This time, Feng Xiaotian said with a firm look in his eyes:

"I want military power!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and even King Jin, who was a little absent-minded just now, grew his mouth in surprise.

The king didn't expect that this was what he wanted, so he asked again with some uncertainty: "What do you want?"

"Military power," Feng Xiaotian replied more firmly.

When the king heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said in his heart: "You kid is going to rebel? What kind of military power do you want? Now you dare to kill the prince in front of me, if you have military power, I'm afraid you won't even take me seriously." ”

The king thought like this but didn't dare to say it, so he could only give King Jin a look and let him speak. Of course, the king of Jin saw it, but he had just offended others, and now he had to help the king offend again, which made him a little embarrassed, I was really afraid that this guy would be angry and clean himself up, but the king couldn't help but listen, so he had to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said: "King Chang'an doesn't know what is the use of military power?"

"I want to dominate the world!" Feng Xiaotian said in a flat tone.

At this time, the king and the king of Jin were really a little confused by his words, and their first reaction was that this kid should not be stupid because his head was broken, although the strength of his Chu State is not weak, but if he wants to dominate the world, it is really a bit of a fool's dream, and then the king asked dryly:

"Does it mean to unify the entire continent?"

Feng Xiaotian nodded, but the king was half angry by his attitude, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Is there something wrong with your kid? My Chu State has only been in today's situation after several generations of operation, and at present, the soldiers and horses only need 800,000 cities, twenty-five and the three major empires, Qin, Tang, and Han, are not a star and a half, and even the Song Kingdom next to it is about the same strength as ours, why do you want to dominate the world? Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?"

Feng Xiaotian also knew that it would be unconvincing to talk about this rashly, and then said confidently: "Father doesn't believe that I have this ability, okay, then let's do it, give me 100,000 soldiers and horses first, and within two months, I will destroy the Song Kingdom and send the King of the Song Kingdom to you?"

When the king heard this, he fell into deep thought. Looking at Feng Xiaotian's appearance, it doesn't look like he has lost his mind. Secretly said: "Could it be that this kid is really so sure? If it is true, then the day of the great prosperity of my Chu country is not far off." ”

Now that I think about it, I am still a little excited, but I calmed down and said: "This is a major military and political matter, and it is not easy for me to make decisions directly, so let's discuss it with all the courtiers today and give you an answer tomorrow." ”

Feng Xiaotian didn't have any expression in this regard, just nodded, and then retreated, he didn't even want to stay for a moment, the king was full of Feng Xiaotian's words just now, and immediately ordered his subordinates to call the generals and ministers to enter the palace to discuss politics, as for the king of Jin, the king didn't care about him, and casually ordered him to go to another city to be the city lord for a few years, and then make arrangements after this matter was dull.

Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly after walking out of the palace gate. After all, he still embarked on the path of power. It wasn't that he was ambitious and had to be an eternal emperor, but what he had to do? The original three energies, he had a very hard time dealing with, but now it was three golden pills, and once it exploded, the entire palace would be razed to the ground for thousands of miles. Of course, as the center of the explosion, he was naturally dead, and he couldn't die anymore. Therefore, he now had to stop his cultivation and apply all his energy to the power of the divine soul in order to suppress the three golden pills. With the improvement of his strength, the power of the divine soul is already somewhat dwarfed. Therefore, he had to develop a power war next, so that there would be more believers to strengthen his divine soul and lay the foundation for his future development.

A group of people on the king's side are discussing in full swing, with the main battle and the main peace and the two factions. The main battle is naturally those generals, they have persuaded the king to believe in the king of Chang'an, besides, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses, if they win, the state of Chu will prosper, if they are defeated, they can also secretly respond, in short, there will be no big trouble.

However, that group of civilian officials advocated peaceful development, because in recent years, for unknown reasons, elites from various countries have flocked to the Chu State, making the Chu State cultural, economic, political, military, and so on...... There has been great development, and I believe that in a few years, the state of Chu will be able to surrender without a fight and become the fourth empire.

The king listened. He sneered and asked, "Then do you know why there are so many talents in our country?"

The group of civil officials were stunned for a moment, and then bowed their heads and remained silent, because they really hadn't investigated this matter.

At this time, the king took out a copy of the copy from the table and threw it on the table, and then said proudly: "This is all the credit of King Chang'an." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and puzzled, and then saw that the king was a little lonely and said: "This is from the prince's mansion." Then the king's face changed, and he continued: The prince is jealous of the talent of the king of Chang'an, so he has concealed what the king of Chang'an has done in the years, the reason why our country can have such progress is inseparable from the efforts of the king of Chang'an, and the king of Chang'an is also outstanding in military talent, in Linguan City in recent years he has made great contributions to the defense of the city, but the prince is afraid that the king of Chang'an will threaten himself, so he has been concealing until now, today these copywriters have finally seen the light of day, so I am determined to support the decision of the king of Chang'an, it is time for my Chu country to develop to the empire。 ”

The king couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic when he said this, and now that the king has made an order, the people below are naturally a bunch of sycophants.

The next step is to discuss some details, such as food, funds, and so on.

The next day. Just when all the people thought that they were going to arrange the prince's funeral, a military report caught everyone off guard, that is, the king of Chang'an was appointed as the general of Zhenwei, leading 100,000 soldiers and horses to go to the Song Kingdom, and the prince just ordered people to be buried hastily and there was no follow-up, and sure enough, the prince would be given up if he was useless, and the king of Jin also had a sense of crisis, but at the moment he had no choice but to hide behind the scenes like a poisonous snake.

After more than ten days, the army of 100,000 was ready. Just wait for the end of the pledge meeting to start the battle. There is a way that soldiers are fast and fast, and this side is just ready. Feng Xiaotian couldn't wait to set off.

On the other side, the Song State has also received the news, and has also gathered 100,000 troops to stand by, and there are 50,000 troops in ambush in the mountains and forests next to it. Both sides began to prepare for this big battle.

It would take at least five days for the army to march. During this time, Feng Xiaotian found out the chief general of the Song State this time. This time, the Song general is named Li Zhenyuan, and he is an old man with very rich combat experience. He has been engaged in military politics for many years, and he has always won more and lost less. When he inquired on others, they inquired on him.

When Li Zhenyuan learned that the person who was fighting against him was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little doll, he laughed happily on the spot, and mocked the Chu State in front of the public, and even sent out a teenage child. Then he sent people to secretly prepare for a night attack on Linguan Castle five days later. His move is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, which is a common move in the military. Five days later, it happened to be the day when Feng Xiaotian and the others arrived in Linguan City. He planned to take advantage of the fact that the Chu army had just arrived and had not rested, to catch them by surprise, and then lure them out of the city to kill them in an ambush. With that, the battle was over.

5 days later, it was the autumn harvest season, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, everyone was very careful about the fire, especially the food of the Song army that was ambushed in the depths of the woods was sent from the city, but the distance was far away, and the food was already cold when they arrived, and the soldiers were complaining, if it wasn't for the military order, they had to go down to ask for an explanation. But now they have to endure it. Eating dry and hard dry food, one by one they scattered without any intention of fighting.

In this way, when the military order was delivered, the 50,000 troops were ordered to prepare. When preparing for an ambush at night. They barely managed to get their spirits up.

It was dark that night. Even the moon is just a crescent moon, and it's not that bright at all. Seeing this sky, Li Zhenyuan said secretly with joy in his heart: "This is God helping me, such a sky is suitable for a sneak attack." Then he ordered the horse's hooves to be wrapped in cotton cloth, and the horse's mouth was stuffed with a stick, and even the men closed their mouths, and quietly marched towards the castle. When he had already seen the tall walls of Linguan City, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. When I secretly thought that I would be the first hero to expand the territory, I was a little excited. But just as he was about to give the order for the siege of the city, a change suddenly occurred.
