Chapter 364: The Beginning of the War (Part II)
() The Seventh Princess was in the study at this time and several important ministers and military generals were studying the current situation. Although the war on the Thirty-six Islands was temporarily suppressed during this period of time, the alliance between the eldest prince and King Jialanjia still made her very angry and uneasy.
Once King Wen and King Ming can't hold on, the possibility of the great prince ascending to the throne is very high. You must know that the ambition of the seventh princess is not just a single Rong King, she is also waiting for the opportunity to seize the throne!
"He's selling his country! Shameless thing, for the sake of the throne, he actually gave two prefectures to King Sao? And part of the fiefdom of King Ming? And those ironstone mines in the Ming King's fiefdom? The seventh princess pointed to the map on the table and scolded angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes! We have sent a letter to the Bright Khan according to Chitose's intentions, condemning this behavior of King Zuo, but the Bright Khan is powerless, he is already terminally ill, and I am afraid that he will not last a few days! Now the Western Turkic Kingdom is the most powerful with King Zuo and King You, and both of them are interested in competing for the throne! One of his subordinates hurriedly whispered.
"Alas! It's really eventful, and the matter of the Bright Khan has nothing to do with us, but now the matter of King Ming has a huge impact! The seventh princess sat down a little helplessly, even if she wanted to help King Ming, she couldn't help, although she also received a letter from King Ming, asking her to enter Xiyuan City, but that was either help, or death! And you won't get any benefits!
"Chitose, in fact, there is no need to worry, although the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Sixth have joined forces, but if we want to protect ourselves, it is more than enough! Could it be that the eldest prince and the sixth highness will be able to get along well after taking the fief of King Ming and the fief of King Wen? I can't see it! At this time, Wu Shuangcai shook his head and said, after all, he is the most trusted strategist of the Seventh Princess now, and Wu Shuangcai has seen it relatively thoroughly.
"Hmmm! Well, now we can only wait and see how the war develops! Ji Zhichen, how is Yu Li doing now? I don't have time to ask these days, are they still honest there? The seventh princess was a little unwilling, and then turned back and asked.
"Hehe, Yu Li is very loyal now, not only does she manage Nanyi Island very well, but several surrounding islands are also shocked by these female warriors, and they have all settled down! But many of the island's personnel still have to be replaced in order to ensure real peace! Ji Zhihan smiled slightly, he was the most casual one among these civil and military officials. At this time, it was sitting next to the seventh princess, and the other officials were standing.
"Well, yes, Yu Li's combat effectiveness is still very strong! You bothered to keep her under control! "The Seventh Princess has to admit that Yu Li still has some value!
"Yes! Xiao Ji will definitely do her best! Ji Zhihui said proudly, he has now completely subdued Yu Li, and he has gone to bed, and now those female warriors are also playing with him. So Ji Zhihui is now proud of the spring breeze. However, he still thought about the nineteenth princess in his heart, so he asked again: "I heard that the king also sent a letter to the nineteenth princess?" Even promised her to be the king of Xiyuan? Do you really look up to her? ”
"Humph! That's to look up to all the little treasures! King Ming first sent a letter to Zhu Xiaobao, Zhu Xiaobao was unwilling to go to Xiyuan City, why did the nineteenth sister become the king of Xiyuan? Just with her 200,000 horses? It's not enough for people to stuff their teeth! The Seventh Princess was disdainful
hummed.
"Huh! That's right! But don't take it lightly, her strength is constantly increasing! Ji Zhihui said a little worriedly.
"Well, when the war on King Ming's side is clear, I will decide how to clean up this restless nineteenth sister!" The seventh princess said a little depressed.
And here in the nineteenth princess, she is also closely watching the situation of King Ming. As the seventh princess said, Zhu Xiaobao disdained to enter Xiyuan City, and the nineteenth princess did not have the confidence to enter Xiyuan City. In the end, she gave up this vain 'Xiyuan King' and quietly developed her strength.
Of course, the most disappointed is Wu Yue, she originally thought that she could settle in Xiyuan City again, and she could also help the nineteenth princess realize her wish to be crowned a fief, but then she really failed to do so. She also sent a letter to Zhu Xiaobao at the beginning, complaining that Zhu Xiaobao refused to help the nineteenth princess, but she was warned by Zhu Xiaobao in reply, so Wu Yue was not very happy these days.
Fortunately, Wu Yue didn't have time to worry about other things now, because she was being carefully trained and instructed by the Great Venerable of Ice and Fire, and her martial arts had greatly improved. And the Ice and Fire Venerable can only do this, she will not directly interfere in the grand ambition of the Nineteenth Princess's hegemony!
……
And here in Zhu Xiaobao, I was a little bored, but I didn't expect King Zuo to actually retire, when will this have to wait?
"Hehe, what's the hurry, there are wars, there are blitzkriegs, there are tug-of-wars, and some battles can last for months, or even years. The most taboo thing in war is to be impetuous! Duanmuqi was not in a hurry at all, he was still writing and drawing on the map, and he was still analyzing the situation in the future.
"I just want to see the large-scale fighting scenes, I've seen the others, I'm not interested!" Zhu Xiaobao was lying there bored and hummed, and suddenly asked: "I said, Lian Lian, you have been writing and painting there all day, what results have you analyzed?" Isn't it that King Ming and King Wen were finally destroyed by the eldest prince and raised their hands to surrender! ”
"Huh?" Duanmuqi looked at this little fat man who had no image, shook his head a little helplessly and said, "That's not right! I analyzed that King Ming would not be destroyed, and the river in his fief was enough for him to hold on. However, you will lose more than half of your fiefdom, and most of the ironstone mines! It's King Wen here, if His Royal Highness the Sixth really cooperates with the eldest prince, it will be in jeopardy! ”
"Whew! It's useless for you to analyze it now, won't you know when they're done? I'm not the Seventh Princess, I'm waiting for an opportunity! I'm sitting on a mountain watching the tiger fight! Zhu Xiaobao rebuked very bluntly.
"Eh, eldest brother-in-law, it seems that this is really the case!" Yu Shuang and Yu Xue next to her also nodded to agree with Zhu Xiaobao's point of view.
"You two, get out of here! If you don't learn, you can't do it! Duanmu Qi suddenly scolded angrily, don't look at Yu Shuang Yu Xue's martial arts cultivation has broken through to the realm of a great martial artist, but he is still very in awe of this eldest brother-in-law, so he quickly stuck out his tongue and escaped!
Since these two sisters were promoted to the Great Martial Artist, they thought that the sisters would be invincible if they joined forces! Because when the two of them were first-level martial artists, they were able to join forces to defeat Yu Li, which was the realm of a great martial artist, and they were also the strongest existence under Wuzun.
So this
Once the sisters were promoted to the Great Martial Artist, they were a little fluttering, thinking that they could be invincible in the world. Later, I was taught a lesson by the old apprentice, and then I knew that my martial arts were still far behind!
At this moment, Tong Wuxin hurried back, and she inquired about the latest news: the second group of people who became kings had arrived, and there were 20,000 strong ballistas with them, which were improved and specially used to launch missiles!
"Good! I guess there will be a large-scale battle tomorrow! Duanmuqi immediately said in good spirits.
"Haha! It's still good to be careless, sister is good, it has brought us very exciting news, go, I invite you to eat air-dried chicken! Let the old man analyze it here! Zhu Xiaobao immediately jumped up, holding Tong Wuxin's arm and said very affectionately.
"Hey! What do you mean? I don't have anything to eat for my hard work? Duanmu Qi suddenly shouted angrily in the back.
"Hehe, I'll send you two chicken legs later!" Zhu Xiaobao said without looking back.
"Hey! Feed! Feed! Someone! …… Why are they all gone? Duanmuqi looked at it a little annoyed, isn't it, the people around him have followed Zhu Xiaobao!
"Oh? Then I'll go too! Mr. Duanmu, why don't you study it for a while? Mu Chunyi raised his head at this time, and after seeing it, he said to Duan Muqi apologetically.
“……”
Although the time for this air-dried chicken is still a little insufficient, it has already made everyone eat and praise, and the old apprentice regrets it a little, as if he has done too little! You see, Jumei alone can eat two! Yu Shuang Yu Xue is not a fuel-efficient lamp! But fortunately, there are various other delicacies, and the northwest wind is blowing right now, so it won't blow the flavor in the direction of the opponent's battlefield.
"Hey, hey! Brother-in-law, when do you think King Sao will launch an offensive? That's right, a jar of superb burning knives! Zhu Xiaobao was still thinking about Duanmu Qi during the banquet.
"Well, it should be early tomorrow morning, as soon as five watches!" Duanmuqi thought for a moment before saying.
As soon as the words fell, there was already a faint firelight in the distance, and even a faint shout of killing.
The crowd quickly stood up, climbed to the top, and observed with binoculars. It turned out that King Sa's men and horses had already begun to attack, and the first thing to start was the mutual attack between long-range catapults. The catapults that were held were all boulders wrapped in flammable materials, and the places where they were hit were suddenly bursting into flames, and the lethality should not be underestimated! And this time the catapult is huge, judging from the scene, there are at least 5,000 of them.
And King Ming is not to be outdone here, and responds with the same catapult, don't look far away, both sides have begun to have casualties!
"Huh? Didn't you say you wouldn't attack until tomorrow? Zhu Xiaobao looked at it excitedly for a while, then turned his head and asked.
"Humph! Surprise, that's the way to win! If you can calculate it accurately, what else will you fight? Duanmu Qi glanced at Zhu Xiaobao, not frustrated by his inference mistakes, but a little appreciative of this Zuowang Jialanga. I didn't expect to do things so vigorously!
At the same time, the Great Prince's side also launched the most powerful offensive since it was launched!
