Chapter 918: The Day of Parting Ways

The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. Li Ling, who has won several major victories on the battlefield since leaving Yumen Pass, did not expect that he would be seriously injured in the Han army camp.

King Guangling was very heavy, and the knife that sneaked up from behind was aimed at the vital point, and it was obvious that he wanted his life. Fortunately, Li Ling reacted in time, and at the last moment, he sensed that something was wrong and dodged it, so as to avoid the misfortune of the blade piercing his heart. However, even so, it was already a spring of blood and extremely injured.

It happened very suddenly, beyond everyone's expectations. Although these generals knew that today's incident might be difficult to be good, they couldn't believe that as a dignified prince of the Han family, King Guangling would personally kill people, and he used despicable sneak attacks.

The camp was in an uproar. After finally understanding what was happening, more than a dozen lieutenant generals and colonels surrounded Li Ling and protected Li Ling in the center. Then they held the hilt of their swords in their hands, and they all glared angrily. Who is right and which is wrong, which is more important, everyone has a scale in their hearts.

Seeing that something was wrong, King Yan hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to rush up and pull King Guangling back. Although he didn't think anyone dared to do anything to the royal prince, this was in the army, and it was better to be cautious just in case.

The military medical officer was nearby, and when he heard that General Li Ling was injured, he hurriedly ran over in a panic. With the help of others, the wound was treated to stop bleeding and bandaged, and it was a hectic meal.

Li Ling's face turned pale. The sword and the general's seal in his hand have always been firmly held in his arms. Passing over the panicked crowd, his eyes fixed on King Guangling, and said word by word.

"Today's knife, I remember. If Ling does not die, he will be rewarded one day! ”

Such a deep hatred, a high-minded and arrogant teenager will never let go. He has never been a casual talker, as long as he says it, it will come true sooner or later.

And after hurting people, King Guangling not only did not have the slightest remorse, but regretted not killing Li Ling. If he had known this, he would have aimed it at it and stabbed it again.

The two sides were tense, and after a moment of stalemate, King Yan and King Guangling discussed a few words in a low voice, looking at the current atmosphere, it was not very favorable to them. In this case, there is no need to dwell on it.

King Yan took one last look at the general seal in Li Ling's arms, and walked side by side with King Guangling. Withdrawing for a while does not mean that they will stop there, but rather move forward and move on to the next step.

A few angry lieutenants stood in the doorway, looking ill-intentioned to block their way. They are all warriors in the army who have fought bloodily with Li Ling, and they really can't swallow this breath. However, when he turned around to ask Li Ling's meaning, he saw him shake his head lightly, signaling that it was not necessary. Everyone had no choice but to retreat with hatred.

King Yan and King Guangling did not do anything, and directly led more than 20,000 people under their command to leave the Han army camp overnight, cross the river full of blood and sorrow, and enter the Persian royal city. Then began to prepare fortifications and defend the city.

The geographical location here is steep, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface, which is the land of kings. This is a move they have been thinking about for a long time. Originally, I wanted to wait until the Western Continent was all calm, and then find an opportunity to discuss with Yuan Zhao in order to win the best land on this side. But now, there is no need for that. They feel that they can achieve it with the power of their own hands

Br.

After the bloodshed and plague, the Persian royal city was actually an empty city. The Persians had already been purged. Most of the Gongsun Rongnu and nearly 30,000 Han soldiers who had been staying here had already borne the threat of the plague, and two or three days before they had gone out to vent their anger and slaughter the remnants of the Persians.

For King Yan and King Guangling, this was naturally the best time. So, they took advantage of this rare opportunity and soon occupied the entire royal city.

The snow has not melted, and the cold wind is biting. Crossing the river overnight to capture the city was naturally very hard. However, these did not affect the fiery mood of these two princes in the slightest. Because, compared to what they're about to get, it's all worth it.

Even after the tension of the day and night, I didn't get any rest at all. But they were in high spirits and in high spirits. After arranging the defenses around the royal city, they immediately led a large number of henchmen to the former royal palace.

The golden dome of the palace glows in the snow, although it is no longer a symbol of royal power. In such a short period of time, there was no sign of dilapidation. From the outside, it is still tall and brilliant.

Of course, the purpose of King Yan and King Guangling coming here was not to see this palace. Although they feel deep down that only such a place is worthy of their identity, there are more important things to do at the moment.

"Brother Yan, are you sure that the treasures in the palace are still in their original place?"

"Of course! The news is unequivocal. ”

King Yan walked forward in the crowd, and at the same time answered the uncertainty in King Guangling's question in an affirmative tone. Before entering the city, he was also very worried that Yuan Zhao had made other arrangements. In that case, it's a bit of a problem. But when he sent someone to summon the Han military captain who stayed behind, under the coercion and temptation, he finally got the definite news, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turned out that since the incident that opened the underground treasure of the palace that day, Yuan Zhao ordered that place to be sealed. Since then, no one has ever been to the palace, let alone touched the treasures, except for a small group of guards led by the captain.

After determining this, the two princes were simply overjoyed. They knew very well in their hearts what it would mean for their kingly hegemony if they got this batch of treasures. And Yuan Zhao didn't make proper arrangements for such an important thing, is this because he didn't take the value of the treasure to heart at all? Or did you forget about it in a hurry? King Yan and King Guangling stroked their foreheads with their hands, secretly rejoicing. Anyway, they finally got what they coveted, and the rest didn't matter.

Soon after, the secret treasure under the palace was opened again. The people who thought they had dominated this royal city looked at these treasures in amazement, the golden light flashed and moved. No one can keep their composure anymore.

"With this great help, you and I will work together to create a great cause on this western continent! His scale surpassed that of the Han Dynasty, and it was as easy as a snap! Hahaha! ”

"What Brother Wang said is exactly what my brother wants...... When the effort! Ha ha! ”

The two men clasped their hands and laughed side by side. The ambitions that had already begun to swell could no longer be restrained. Their goals are already dissatisfied

Enough to occupy a small land, but to annex the entire western continent and create its own independent kingdom here. Never be controlled by the Han Dynasty!

King Yan and King Guangling are both sons of Emperor Wu, and they already have an innate desire for control and possessiveness in their bones. Since there is such a good opportunity, the so-called time, place, and people are all in hand. It's really heaven that doesn't take it, but suffers from it!

After a brief discussion, the two princes and their henchmen quickly formulated the next step. And the most important thing in this is, first of all, to firmly control the more than 20,000 troops in his hands. As long as they can be faithful and obedient, great things can be done!

For this reason, King Yan and King Guangling were not stingy. Although they did not have any outstanding command skills in military affairs, they knew a truth deeply. There will be brave men under the reward! As long as there are enough chips, it is enough to make the warriors serve and do whatever they want.

The treasures in the palace were carried out and placed in the square, and the more than 20,000 Han soldiers and soldiers were all richly rewarded. Holding those heavy gold, no matter what emotions people have in their hearts, some struggles and struggles inevitably happen in their minds.

Seeing that no one shirked the reward, King Yan and King Guangling glanced at each other and were secretly proud. That's exactly what they wanted. The temptation of the title and the reward of wealth naturally make some people willing to be driven by them.

The king of Yan and the king of Guangling rewarded the three armies in the Persian royal city, and they were full of ambition and ready to do a big job. In the Han army camp across the river, morale was very low.

Originally, because of the matter of Yuan Zhao, the hearts of all the soldiers were already full of sadness. Without this person's guidance and leadership, most people feel like they've lost their way. In this strange continent far from my homeland, I am full of confusion in front of me, and I don't know what to do next.

And at this critical time, the sudden attack of King Yan and King Guangling made matters worse. The parting of ways of more than 20,000 officers and men of the Han Army caused the inevitable split of the Western Expeditionary Army. And Li Ling's serious injury has also added more unknown variables to the current situation.

No one wants to turn their blades at their former comrades. No one wants to fight each other with their own people who have the same blood flowing thousands of miles away, killing each other. If things do come this far, it will undoubtedly be a painful thing.

Soon after, Gongsun Rongnu, who rushed back after hearing the news, after seeing Li Ling's injury, he stuck the knife in his hand heavily into the ground, and only said one sentence to show his angry attitude.

"Such an act is tantamount to rebellion...... Punish it! ”

Although he didn't say his name explicitly, everyone knew who he wanted to kill. This sentence is a great rebellion, and it is exactly what other people want to do.

Li Ling lay on his side so as not to affect the wound. He frowned as he watched Gongsun Rongnu and the others eager to try, not wanting to make a big move at this time.

"The Western continent was initially settled, and the remnants of the Persians were not cleared...... If you fight in the same room, I am afraid that chaos will arise again, and the situation will not be replicable. This...... That's not what my master intended! ”
