Chapter 409: Lu Jue's Worries
There is no long road at night, and finally under the starry sky, in the blink of an eye, it is almost the end of the night, and the morning sun is gradually rising.
The southern city of Kyoto is now no longer poked by the figures of the past.
With the disappearance of Wang Jia and others, the Red Lotus Sect was in turmoil, and the refugees and poor people who were already in some hardship were now living even worse.
For the leaderless sect members, after everyone lost the existence of the Holy Maiden and the core, the once huge Red Lotus Sect has now begun to become a huge fat meat divided by various forces.
Many of the forces behind the officialdom have begun to want to completely control this power, but for their own selfish desires, it has not brought huge profits.
But no matter how strong the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court is, in the face of the constantly clear shrimp and small fish, more forces that are hidden deeper and more powerful begin to have more space activities.
The quiet streets of Nanxiang, the road surface is still a little slippery, I don't know whether it is the moonlight or the morning dew, which makes the somewhat dilapidated and dirty streets of Nanxiang in the past look a lot brighter.
"You're here."
As a young figure approached, in the darkness, several mysterious people in cloaks bent down to salute the young man.
And this etiquette is the same as the etiquette of the Sage Academy, with his hands folded in front of his chest and bent down to salute.
In the afterglow of the moonlight, the young man showed a hint of a smile, and it turned out to be a student from the Sage Academy who said goodbye to Kong Mo from the Sage Academy, Shi Hua.
"You've been waiting for a long time."
Shi Hua's eyes are easy-going, his smile is still as natural and comfortable as Mu Shunfeng, looking at the subordinates in front of him who salute him, but he does not have the slightest arrogance, as if he treats his compatriots.
"Ancestor, we have done all the things you requested, and although there are not many remaining Red Lotus Sect forces in this Kyoto at the moment, they should be enough to be used for the development of our Holy Clothes Sect."
One of the mysterious men with a somewhat strong body spoke in a low and rough voice, but he could clearly feel that his words were a little stiff.
And after his words fell, a slightly emaciated person beside him continued: "Ancestor, in fact, we could have completely controlled the remaining power of the Red Lotus Sect, you are too merciful after all, shouldn't we have some means for the infidels?" ”
After hearing this, Shi Hua shook his head slightly, raised his eyes and looked at the sky, Nancheng was originally a place where the poor and refugees intersected, and after raising his head slightly, he could clearly see the distant and vast sky.
The faint dark yellow morning sun is about to rise, and the morning light of the morning sun, which is about to emerge, has been revealed in Shi Hua's eyes.
An Jin's pupils, this secret, even Kong Mo, who had just talked to Shi Hua, did not find out.
"This was once the homeland where I was born, and in the face of people here who have not yet comprehended the holy will, too strict methods will make it easier for people to stay away from us, so let's go back."
Shi Hua's tone was clear and his voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it clearly.
On the battlefield of Northern Xinjiang, with the entry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, most of the officials in the domain of Wei Siyuan, King of Beichang, did not seem to have any intention of resisting.
The success in the early stage surprised Lu Jue and others.
However, the more comfortable it was, the more uneasy it was to Lu Jue.
After all, until they recovered several cities, Lu Jue's Northern Expedition army had never encountered the shadow of the Beichang Army.
"General, you don't seem to be optimistic about the current battle situation?"
Xiao Han and Lu Jue stood on the city wall together, and the two faced the first rising sun, but their moods were different.
"I don't know what happened to Zheng Tianlan's side, the strength of the wolf head should not be underestimated, I just hope that there will not be more fearless sacrifices."
Lu Jue did not directly express his worries, but mentioned another concern in Kyoto.
"Haha, don't worry, General, Your Majesty has ten warriors from the Nanban in Kyoto, and there must be no danger."
In the face of Xiao Han's comfort, Lu Jue didn't seem to be able to laugh, and at this moment, with the arrival of a gentle footstep, Mu Bai also walked onto the city wall.
"The general is worried about Wei Siyuan's tricks, and he is also afraid that there will really be more sacrifices, even if he really wins, he doesn't want to see too many casualties."
As soon as Mu Bai came up, he spoke directly to Lu Jue's heart.
Indeed, Lu Jue would rather encounter the power of resistance from the moment he entered Wei Siyuan's domain, even if it was only a small force, it would be able to make him feel more at ease than now.
If that's the case, at least it shows that Wei Siyuan still takes the overall situation into account and has the dawn people in his heart.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Han was a little puzzled, after all, war is about sacrifice and bloodshed, and it is almost impossible to win without a fight at all.
"If we have resisted along the way, then we may have reduced casualties and sacrificed less for our own compatriots, and now we are driving straight into the land as if we were in a no-man's land, which only shows one point."
Lu Jue sighed, his eyes looked closely at the west, the direction in which the sunset fell on that moonlit night, and he was very helpless.
"Is the major general wrong, shouldn't there be less and more sacrifices now that no one is resisting?"
Xiao Han was a little puzzled, and turned to look at Mu Bai on the side, Mu Bai smiled slightly and opened his mouth to explain.
"Now we have entered Wei Siyuan's domain for nearly half of the time, and if we go deeper into the west, I am afraid that it is Wei Siyuan's hometown, Beichang City, along the way, we have never seen a single soldier of the Beichang Army, that can only mean one thing, Wei Siyuan intends to fight with us."
Hearing Mu Bai say this, Xiao Han couldn't help but gasp.
If it is really as Mu Bai said, then this battle is probably the largest and most brutal civil war in the history of the Ye Dynasty.
At this moment, Xiao Han suddenly felt the meaning of Lu Jue's long sigh.
Yes, in the face of such a tough battle, no matter how many words are in vain, the battle of millions of people is only life and death, and there is no so-called impeachment at all.
Xiao Han, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, suddenly fell into silence at this moment, at this time, under the city wall, the soldiers had already begun to get busy for breakfast, and there was still the sound of laughing with each other in the sparse voice.
"These... Among these people, many of them are new soldiers, son, can they really withstand such a cruel battlefield? ”
Xiao Han turned to look back, looked at the soldiers coming and going below, sighed softly, gritted his teeth, and could obviously feel a little choked in his throat.
