I don't know when it began, Huancheng began to spread that the emperor of the first emperor came from the wrong way, but the first emperor used trickery to seize the throne of his own brother.

And the current emperor Zhou Xin's throne is naturally unjustifiable.

Now, the general who was supposed to be the emperor has led troops to attack the imperial city, wanting to support orthodoxy and regain the throne.

And this man who was supposed to be the emperor was Yan Yan, the general who was now stationed outside Huancheng.

Therefore, it should be the destiny of Heaven for Yan Ember to lead the troops to overthrow Zhou Xin's rule, and now the confrontation between Huancheng and Yan Ember's soldiers and horses is to hinder the return of orthodoxy, and it will be tolerated by heaven and earth!

One day, Huancheng will suffer from natural disasters!

……

Similar rumors spread almost throughout Huancheng, and when Zhou Lixuan and Shangguan Yun heard this rumor, almost the entire people in Huancheng already knew about this rumor, and they had no time to stop it from continuing to spread.

You don't have to think about it to know that these rumors, eight to nine times out of ten, are all emanated by Yan Yan, after all, most of the cities that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty completely fell were completely surrendered and captured when they became real orthodox royal family members by virtue of the holy decree he took out.

However, such a method is really useful for the fallen cities, after all, they have no other choice but to surrender to survive.

Compared with being loyal to Zhou Xin and dying generously, I believe that more people are more willing to surrender to Yan Yan, a general who "should have been the emperor".

After all, if you don't surrender, you will die, but if you surrender, when Yan Ember succeeds in ascending the throne, their city lords and generals who surrender may be able to earn a dragon merit.

People always spare their lives.

And while sparing their lives, people still want to be prosperous and rich.

After a road is broken, people always have to go down, and loyalty is sometimes not so important in the face of life.

After all, except for the border city people, most of the so-called city lord guards in these cities have not experienced the baptism of war and blood.

Therefore, their yearning for life is very high, and their fear of death is not punished.

In the final analysis, most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Therefore, it is really not difficult for Yan Yan to lay down half of the country.

Yan Ember used only one move to recruit countless cities.

It's just that this is Huancheng!

The war between Huancheng and Yan Ember has just begun, and Zhou Lixuan has made up his mind to defend Huancheng from the beginning, he Yan Ember has occupied half of the Great Zhou Dynasty enough, and if it continues, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will become a monolithic great power again, he doesn't want to see that happen......

Therefore, for Huancheng, Zhou Lixuan planned to strictly guard against it, and he couldn't let Yan Yan get involved.

But he also knew that with Yan Ash's thoughts, it would definitely be impossible to give up the attack on the imperial city, and what Yan Ember wanted was definitely a complete Great Zhou.

Therefore, in order to defend Huancheng, he arranged countless resources in the city from the beginning, just to prevent Yan Yan from besieging and not attacking, so that the entire Huancheng was exhausted.

It's just that he can't understand the other party's current hand at all, and if he wants to capture Huancheng, it's not just a little gossip......

Zhou Lixuan is the person Zhou Xin values the most, and he is also the only prince who is not a member of the royal family in the dynasty.

In the past five years, although his record is mediocre, and he has lost the border city, and the defense line of the entire Great Zhou has been retreated by thousands of miles, Zhou Xin has always trusted him, and the power to lead the troops is still in his hands.

Zhou Lixuan understands very well, this is the way of employing people in the Great Zhou royal family, employing people without suspicion, and not using suspicious people.

For loyal ministers, it is a blessing to meet such a master. You know, it's definitely a blessing to have a boss who trusts you completely.

Of course, it is also difficult for the people of the Great Zhou royal family to deliver trust, so the suspect does not need this article, and if he wants to become a non-suspect of the surname Zhou, it is definitely a difficult task.

But no matter how difficult it was, as long as he could gain the trust of the people of the Zhou royal family, the previous hardships would definitely be worth it.

Because their trust, once delivered, is almost total.

Think about it, now in the heart of Emperor Zhou Xin, among the people who can be absolutely trusted, I am afraid that there is no more than a palm.

But he, Zhou Lixuan, is one of these rare people.

This qiē was actually bought by him with his life.

On Zhou Xin's data file, Zhou Lixuan used to be just a wandering orphan, he had no name, only the disgusting "sip" sound of countless people growing up with him.

Finally, by chance, he entered the barracks and became a recruit stationed in the border city.

Under the baptism of war, he gradually grew up, but in the end, he practiced martial arts, was invincible on the battlefield, and finally won great military achievements.

When Zhou Lixuan became famous, it was when Zhou Xin ascended the throne and was controlled by his relatives, and he was in turmoil.

Therefore, in order to regain the power that belongs to him, Zhou Xin cultivated him Zhou Lixuan as the sharpest knife, and even tied him to the emperor's line completely in order to calm his heart, and he did not hesitate to tie him up with the throne of the prince.

If he Zhou Lixuan is really a simple wandering orphan, then now he must be loyal to Zhou Xin until death.

It's a pity that his Zhou Lixuan's qiē is not so simple.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was the largest dynasty in the known territory, but it was not the only great power, but there was no conflict between the great powers, and the relationship was not salty or light.

The biggest enemy of the current Great Zhou Dynasty is only the Shanrong people.

The Shanjung people are a nomadic people, they live on the steppe and live a nomadic life, but gradually, the nomadic life cannot guarantee food for the tribesmen.

Therefore, the Shanjung people finally began to loot the border cities.

And that's how the war went on for countless years.

Speaking of which, how could such a big country as the Great Zhou allow the small Shanrong people to burn, kill and loot the border cities, but be indifferent?

It stands to reason that Da Zhou should be able to pinch the Shanjung people to death with just a small fingernail, why do they still leave the Shanjung people to stare at the border city?

In the final analysis, it is still a struggle between the great powers.

Although the great powers seem to be at peace with each other, it is impossible for other great powers to watch the Great Zhou exterminate the Shanrong clan and expand their territory.

And to completely conquer the Shanjung people, it is impossible for Da Zhou to be just a small action, after all, most of the Shanjung people are brave and good at fighting.

Therefore, the Shanjung people can have no scruples in the border city.

However, life is still difficult for the Shanjung people, and when winter comes, women and children of the Shanjung people still die of hunger and cold.

And every man with a bit of blood can't tolerate his women and children dying because of hunger and cold, so the Shanjung people can only breed ambition in this hardship.

They needed a city, at least so that their loved ones could survive the bitter cold of winter.

Therefore, in the Imperial City of the Great Zhou, there is a group of homeless orphans.

And he, Zhou Lixuan, was one of the people who were sent to the Great Zhou by the Shanrong clan in batches, and he was also the best mixed among the children.

When he escorted Yan Yan and them back to the capital, why did the Shanjung people get their route so easily? Or even so well prepared, ambushed in the path they had to pass? Isn't it because he's getting in the way?!

How could he possibly bring Yan Shen back to the capital to increase Zhou Xin's combat power for nothing?

He has been a loyal subordinate to Zhou Xin for so many years, and he can be said to know Zhou Xin the best.

As long as Yan Yan and them fall into Zhou Xin's hands, they will eventually become knives in his hands. Regardless of whether they want it or not.

Originally, his plan was to let Yan Yan and several people be completely wiped out in that attack, then he, Zhou Lixuan, would become the only sharp blade under Zhou Xin, and he would become the only general to deal with the Shanjung.

It's not that there are no other generals in Da Zhou, it's just that Zhou Xin is the only one who can trust the most and has the time and energy to garrison the border city.

It's a pity that Yan Yan's life was too great, and in the end, in such a scuffle, they all fought their way out.

And that bloody road can be killed, in fact, he didn't remind the clansmen in advance that the brother's combat power was bursting, so that the clansmen failed to guard against him, and finally wanted to kidnap people back to the clan.

Most of the women of their Shanjung people were still looted from the border towns, and for the women and brothers on the battlefield, their first reaction was naturally to snatch them back.

Therefore, when the Shanjung people saw the red mark on Rong Yu's forehead, they broke the shackles on his body with a knife and rescued the person.

And the action of releasing tolerance was actually an important reason why Yan Ember and them were able to escape from the battlefield smoothly.

However, Yan Yan and the others will flee, anyway, his goal of guarding the border city alone has been achieved.

And in order to make the play realistic, he still dragged on for a year to let the border city fall.

And Zhou Xin's reaction was just as he expected, a border city, and he finally gave up, after all, it is impossible for great powers to have no friction forever, and he Zhou Lixuan sometimes has no time.

It's a pity that Yan Ember from three years ago is back.

The border city that was finally occupied by the Shanjung people fell again, but it fell into the hands of Yan Ember and became the first dismount when Yan Ember reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

When he got the news, Zhou Lixuan was so angry that his lungs hurt.

It took so much effort, time, and layout for him to finally plan a city for his clansmen, but it was all disrupted by Yan Yan's single action.

But it's okay.

When Yan Yan's territory became more and more occupied, Zhou Lixuan had a more cost-effective plan in his heart.

The current Great Zhou Shanrong can't be provoked, but what if it is the Great Zhou that has been divided?

Only half of the original strength of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou who lives in the war all the time...... What a result that was!

As long as Zhou Xin's soldiers and horses and Yan Yan's soldiers and horses live in a tug-of-war, and let the time of this war be extended indefinitely, then he can make Shan Rong a member of the last fisherman under proper manipulation.

Therefore, this Huan City, he must defend it perfectly.
