Chapter 357 Fruitless

At this time, the Great Zhou Emperor was alone, with his hands behind his back, obviously waiting for Murong Xuan here for a long time.

Just when Murong Xuan stepped into the city, the Great Zhou Emperor sensed Murong Xuan's arrival, but he had always known that Murong Xuan was not from this place, and he didn't understand the rules of these places.

Therefore, all the people here were withdrawn and waited for Murong Xuan here alone.

"Marshal Murong, why don't you return to the capital alone, come back, I haven't received a battle report from the battle situation in the north and south for more than a month, why is this, is there something going on in the north."

The Great Zhou Emperor was naturally clear about some news about the northern war situation at this time, but at this time, because of his trust in the old man. simply ignored the battle situation in the north and completely handed over to Murong Xuan's hand Zheng

After all, in the north, the Great Zhou at this time is still holding a vital lifeline, and as long as this lifeline is not lost at this time, there will be no problems in the entire north.

Murong Xuan saw His Majesty the Emperor's appearance, without too much thought, and brought out the situation in his hands: "This time, not only in the north, when I came back, I met a monk from the Spirit Infant Realm, I took that person down, and I learned from his mouth that there were only 500,000 men and horses in the north at this time, and in the east and west, there were still 1.5 million men and horses waiting..."

Murong Xuan, an outsider, said that he had already done his best, as for what he needed to do next, he still had to think of a way for His Majesty the Emperor, Murong Xuan didn't know much about the national strength of Da Zhou, and at this time, he didn't know how much pressure resistance Da Zhou had, but he just told what he knew in his heart.

When Murong Xuan said that at this time, there were still a total of 1.5 million troops in the east and west from the east and west, the face of the Great Zhou Emperor finally changed at this time.

He had a secret agent to report, at this time the east and the west did have traces of the transfer of troops, but he did not expect that there would be so many soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to the sum of all the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou. But for the monarch. Joy and anger are not colorful, except for the moment of distraction just now, the expression on his face has returned to the same as before, and has become so calm.

"Then how is the war in the north at this time?"

"The enemy army in the north is 500,000, which is very different from the 200,000 troops obtained earlier, at this time some cities have been lost, and some people are trapped in Doucheng, and at this time, the people and horses sent by Doucheng to send a letter to the imperial court have not arrived. ”

"When I came this time, I also encountered an ambush of the Spirit Infant Realm monk on the way, which proves that the rear of Doucheng has been blocked at this time, you can see if you can add a few monks to the northern battle situation, otherwise, this northern battle situation is a little difficult to defend."

Murong Xuan's words were worried, not for the sake of the Great Zhou, but for the countless soldiers in front of him.

But after hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor did not express his position, and said: "Then it seems that the situation in the north is a little critical this time, but if you want the imperial court to send troops to reinforce, it will be a few days late." ”

"Why", before His Majesty the Emperor was finished, Murong Xuan took the lead in questioning.

His Majesty the Emperor also gave Murong Xuan enough face at this time, and in the face of Murong Xuan's dissatisfaction with him, he didn't have any anger, this was not for Murong Xuan's sake, but for the old man who looked for him before.

He said, "You come with me."

Murong Xuan followed the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty into the inner hall, only to see that in the inner hall, there was a huge map hanging, and the map was marked: "Under the Great Zhou" four big characters.

At this time, the Great Zhou Emperor pointed to the north and said, "Marshal Murong Xuan, have you ever seen here."

Murong Xuan really couldn't understand what was on this map, so he shook his head.

"This is the topography of the north, in the north, Doucheng is the first barrier in the north, but this barrier is built later, if you want to directly attack from the north to the hinterland of my Great Zhou, you still have to cross this mountain range. ”

"This mountain range is nothing for a cultivator, from mid-air, you can fly directly over it, but if you want to enter the hinterland of my Great Zhou from below, there is only one canyon road except for climbing over these high mountains. ”

"This canyon is extremely dangerous, only allowing about five people to stand side by side, so, with this canyon, our army of 10,000 can resist the enemy's 100,000 This is also the reason why this time, these two dynasties did not put all their troops in the north, but placed them in the east and west, their purpose is to take back the current northern land, and they attacked the hinterland of my Great Zhou, relying on the east and west."

After the emperor finished, he looked at Murong Xuan with bright eyes, but Murong Xuan was unmoved: "Then I hope that Your Majesty the Emperor will send troops to reinforce the north as soon as possible."

After that, Murong Xuan left alone, and His Majesty the Emperor, who stayed behind, muttered to himself: "Murong Xuan, Murong Xuan, are you pretending to be stupid or do you really not understand what I mean."

Murong Xuan is not stupid, he knows His Majesty the Emperor, what he means, that is, His Majesty the Emperor now, wants to give up the land in the north, just wants to hold the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty without losing, and those soldiers who are fighting desperately for His Majesty the Emperor in the north at this time are equivalent to being strategically given up by His Majesty the Emperor at this time.

But His Majesty the Emperor was ruthless with this heart, and Murong Xuan himself couldn't give up with this heart, he couldn't calmly watch these soldiers die, so Murong Xuan still chose to go back to the north, return to Doucheng, and give these soldiers a little hope for life.

didn't stay long, after His Majesty the Emperor asked for help here to no avail, Murong Xuan was also a little big, but he didn't know what to do, if he returned alone at this time, wouldn't it be to let these soldiers know that the emperor had completely given up on them, and he still had to bring a few reinforcements back anyway.

But the emperor was not in tune, so Murong Xuan had no choice but to take back what he had said for the time being, and came to the southern mountains, facing An Mu and the patriarch of the Medicine Spirit clan to understand the situation and let them help him.

But at this time, the southern hundred clans, after hearing that it was to help Da Zhou, were still a little unhappy, but Murong Xuan was moved by this and understood it, and finally took away the three people. At this time, Murong Xuan's heart was that the patriarch of the Juli clan, Lao Anmu, had completely entered the realm of the Spirit Infant after cultivating the Nine Transformations Immortal Body, which really made Murong Xuan happy.

The three people who were taken away were the patriarch of the Juli clan, the patriarch of the medicine spirit clan, and the patriarch of the Flying Eagle clan.

As for the patriarch of the Flying Eagle Clan, his cultivation at this time was only in the realm of spirit pills, and compared to the cultivation of the other Errao Spirit Infant realms, it was indeed a little worse. But it was the Flying Eagle Clan, and the ability to use the Flying Eagle to obtain information was not something that anyone could replace, so Murong Xuan chose to bring the Flying Eagle Clan Patriarch.

As for the others, Murong Xuan didn't bring it, because this time he went, life and death were unknown, although he was the nominal master of the southern hundred tribes, but he also had to consider the southern hundred tribes, and he would not consume too much damage to the vitality of the southern hundred tribes, in case something went wrong in the future, the people of the hundred tribes would have the power to protect themselves.

A group of four people, after about seven o's journey, came to Doucheng Dang Zheng again, but this time, the way back for a few people was exceptionally smooth, and they did not encounter so many problems like when Murong Xuan went.

In the Doucheng, Murong Xuan's body had not yet fallen, and he sensed the situation here with the power of his soul, only to see that the soldiers in it were full of exhaustion in their eyes, and at the same time, there was no fighting spirit on their bodies.

Murong Xuan came and went, and it took a total of more than ten years in the world, and among these more than ten years, more and more people gathered in Doucheng, but more people died under the iron hooves of the other party.

Without saying much, Murong Xuan took the three of them to Chen Ren's residence, only to see Chen Ren's brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Even Murong Xuan's arrival was not perceived until Murong Xuan spoke: "General Chen Ren is okay for a while."

After this sentence, Chen Rencai found out about Murong Xuan's arrival, but after seeing the few people behind Murong Xuan, he suddenly lost his look in his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't send troops to reinforce you?"

"The East, the West, is more important than the North".

"There is a barrier behind the emperor, I don't know if I can go anywhere."

Chen Ren shook his head, "I, and other spiritual cultivators, it is not difficult to find the way, but these ordinary soldiers, if they want to go, it will take about ten years, once the Doucheng is lost, then these soldiers can't even guarantee the minimum life, and the enemy is at this time." I guess we will abandon the city and flee."

"When the time comes, as long as an ambush is set up outside this city, the soldiers of the five sides have no high walls to defend, and in a few moments, under the attack of hundreds of thousands of people and horses of the enemy, there will be no one left, so by now, we have only one way left."

Chen Ren was speechless, but Murong Xuan was curious and said, "What?"

"Defend the city until Your Majesty's reinforcements arrive."

Murong Xuan rolled his eyes, if His Majesty the Emperor would come at this time, even he didn't believe it: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of us here, and if the east and west sides are fighting together." I don't know how many years it will last."

"By the way, what happened after I left?"

After Murong Xuan asked, Chen Ren thought thoughtfully: "But something strange happened, according to my observation, at this time, the enemy's men and horses were already completely in position, but they seemed to be waiting for something, but they did not immediately attack Doucheng. ”

"According to common sense, we should attack vigorously at this time, otherwise the peak of the army will be frustrated, and the monks of our army will have the opportunity to recuperate, in this case, if you want to capture Doucheng, wouldn't it be even more difficult. ”

But Chen Ren thought about it for a while, and he didn't think of any good and possible basis, including Murong Xuan, who didn't know.

But the reason is caused by Murong Xuan, the two dynasties have placed a total of 500,000 troops in the north, but at the same time, they are only equipped with ten strong people in the Spirit Infant Realm, after all, such strong people are all treasures, and that dynasty does not have so many.

And this time, among the ten powerhouses of the Spirit Infant Realm, seven of them died in the hands of Murong Xuan unconsciously, so the Spirit Infant Realm monks of Lin Fang were really a little frightened, and the only three remaining Spirit Infant Realm monks now, and two of them were seriously injured, so if you count it, there is only one intact Spirit Infant Realm monk, but this time because the two dynasties sent troops together. So I added a few more.

Since there is a killing god like Murong Xuan here now, those monks of the Spirit Infant Realm do not dare to act rashly, for fear that they will die in the hands of Murong Xuan, so this is the matter of besieging Doucheng that should have been besieged a long time ago, and stopped.

The army of 500,000 did not take the initiative to attack, so it was in a stalemate with the defenders of Doucheng, but with the increase of the army, the Doucheng was surrounded at this time, and did not take the initiative to attack, so that the people outside could not get in, and at the same time, the people inside could not get out.

These people think simply, Doucheng has become a lonely city, and the food and water sources in it cannot last too long, as long as the siege lasts longer, then these soldiers will be tired by hunger. When the time comes, life and death will not be in their hands.

In this way, both sides need time, Doucheng is waiting for rescue, and the food in the hot Doucheng outside is running out, at this time the two sides have actually formed a rare tacit understanding, and this stalemate is a stalemate for six months.

At the same time, the east and west of the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into the battle at the same time, and in the past six months, the coalition army has been like a bamboo, attacking the city all the way, fighting steadily, but in the middle of the Great Monday, it was pressed and could not turn over.

If it continues to fight like this, if the Great Zhou comes for another six months, it will be a complete ruin, and the people in the capital will be panicked. Military orders were being passed at a rapid pace, but strangely, none of the orders were transmitted to Murong Xuan in the north.

And the emperor of the Great Zhou did not get any news from the north, which is invisible, but it is another balance.

Doucheng is still the place where Chen Ren does things, and when Murong Xuan comes again, he feels that if this continues, sooner or later there will be problems, and he must think of a way to break the situation...
