After a while, Zhan Liu woke up slowly, his eyes were empty, and he couldn't bear the pain of losing his son in his heart, and muttered: "My son, my son...... Avenge your father and you!" As he spoke, he slowly stood up, pushed away the guards who were supporting him, turned to Murong Ling and bowed, and said, "Young General Murong, thank you father and son for their kindness over the years. After that, without waiting for Murong Ling to speak, Tengteng strode down the high platform and shouted to the soldiers who came with him: "Take my mount and weapon." ”

The relatives and soldiers hurriedly took the Zhanliu mount and the Xuanhua big plate axe.

Zhan Liu turned over his horse, held a Xuanhua axe, and led several personal soldiers into the encirclement. The generals in the military formation, who have always been good friends with Zhan Wolf, are all angry in their hearts, and four of them shouted in unison, holding their swords in their hands, following behind Zhan Liu's horse, and rushed forward, shouting: "Old General Zhan, wait for me to go first, and avenge my brother!"

Fan Xiang slashed the Optimus Halberd in the air and shouted, "Kill!" and urged the Earth Mole Divine Horse to rush towards these enemy generals and kill them with a halberd.

At this time, everyone in the encirclement had a strong leader, all of them were excited, and the momentum was great, and they couldn't wait to kill the devils immediately, and when they saw that Fan Xiang had already killed in the enemy formation, they shouted one by one, and followed Fan Xiang into the formation.

Fan Xiang wielded the Heavenly Halberd, and his moves were extremely powerful, and none of the Beigong servant sergeants could block his move, but seeing him riding a divine horse through the huge encirclement, cutting in the east and splitting in the west, in an instant, these enemy generals died under his halberd. Everyone followed behind him and took advantage of the situation to attack, and the sergeant formation in the enemy's stacked formation gradually became scattered.

The infantry on the left and right flanks saw that the situation was not good, so they divided their forces and killed them. Yong Yisheng and Su Xinyan saw the situation, and each led the sharp warrior team and the iron armor and the wall-breaking army to attack the enemy's two wings, and moved closer to the middle lane while fighting, and followed Fan Xiang to Zhan Liu.

Zhan Liu saw that the situation was not right, and grabbed the Xuanhua axe to meet the enemy and blocked Fanxiang.

After three moves, Fan Xiang waved the halberd, unfolded Nian Nujiao's marksmanship, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and the halberd attacked.

Na Zhan Liu was originally the commander of ten thousand masters under the account of Murong Ke, the general of the North Palace, and was one of the eight court pillars under Murong Ke's account, and he was very good at martial arts. The one who was sent to assist Murong Ling today and lead this team of East Gate servants was considered by Murong Ke.

There were more than 20,000 devil cavalry and infantry in total, and there was no pressure to completely annihilate this righteous army of only more than 3,000 people, but because of Fanxiang's half-way killing, they actually fought for a while. At this time, everyone in the rebel army let go of the killing, everyone was high-spirited, there was no psychological barrier when facing the enemy, and the shots were all killing moves, and the devil sergeant suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Fanxiang and Zhan Liu fought several times, and captured the commander of the army Zhan Liu. Then, swing your troops straight to the high platform.

Murong Ling was on the high platform, and when he saw it, he was shocked, and he was about to flee, but he didn't want Fanxiang to be fast, and his four hooves were like flying, and he had already arrived under the stage, and rushed up across the steps.

Fan Xiang greeted Murong Ling, swept away with a halberd, and the Longquan Sword in Murong Ling's hand flew with a halberd.

Murong Ling was about to pull the horse and flee, but Fan Xiang followed closely behind, slapped a halberd on Murong Ling's shoulder, slapped him off the horse, and the guards followed, tied Murong Ling, and escorted him back to Jingzhuo City.

This battle lasted from early morning to late at night, with heavy casualties on both sides, the elite army occupied the geographical advantage, but the encirclement and suppression army relied on a large number of people, and in the end, the elite army won more with less.

In this face-to-face battle at the east gate of the city, the strength of the 18,000-man beggar army (including more than 9,000 troops collected by Yelujing) faced more than 50,000 enemies, sacrificed more than 4,600 people, and also achieved the result of killing more than 40,000 enemies; more than 4,000 soldiers led by Xin Ziqi, Chunyu Tiying, and Ayiguli cooperated with Yin Yan to pursue tens of thousands of devils in the water outside the west gate and the north gate, and killed more than 60,000 enemies; the elite beggar army finally captured more than 20,000 enemy soldiers, and the rest of the encirclement and suppression army burned to death and drowned countless people.

The 300,000 encirclement and suppression army led by Murong Ling was wiped out at this point, and this battle played the national and military prestige of the exquisite city!

Fan Xiang ordered the Meiling Sanzhang brothers to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield, and then led the generals to return to the big tent of the Chinese army at the east gate, and sat in the tent.

The group of swordsmen escorted Murong Ling, Zhan Liu, and Ouyang Xun to come.

Ouyang Xun fell to the ground, begging for mercy.

Fan Xiang looked at Ouyang Xun and said, "As a human being from another world, how dare you act as a tiger for the Beigong Heavenly Realm?"

Ouyang Xun said: "The family is Xiaowei Beigong Murong Ke is detained in the servant army, and he can't help himself. I hope that the general will have mercy, and if he does not kill, he will swear to repay this great favor with death. ”

Fan Xiang smiled slightly and said, "If I kill you, it will be like killing a pig and dog, and I will dirty my knife!" He also ordered Zhan Liu to be escorted.

Zhan Liu raised his eyebrows angrily, resolutely stood upright and did not kneel, Fan Xiang said coldly: "I see that you are also a strong man, and you are also a gentleman of the important name, why don't you lower our elite beggar army, and also be a general in our army, and fight against Beigong." How?"

Zhan Liu was furious and said loudly: "I didn't have any hope of living, in order to repay General Murong's kindness, I would rather die under the knife, how could I surrender to a yellow-mouthed child like you who is wanted and hunted for Beigong!"

Fan Xiang was furious, and ordered the knife and axe hand to push Zhan Liu out and behead him. Zhan Liu stood up with his head held high and was tortured.

Fanxiang respects Zhan Liu's loyal service to the master, pities his life at the wrong time, and buries Zhan Liu with the gift of a general in the place where Hou Jingjun was annihilated outside the West Gate City.

In the end, Fan Xiang asked someone to escort Murong Ling, and seeing that Murong Ling was very arrogant, he smiled and didn't ask much, and asked someone to be put in prison first, so that he could be taken into custody as a hostage to confront Beigong Murong Ke. Since then, the Beigong servant army has not sent troops to invade in the following months, but has only sent several groups of peace negotiators to refine the peace, and on the condition of releasing Murong Ling, they have made a move to negotiate peace, forming a temporary confrontation and balance with the elite rebel army.

Chun Yuyi counted the seized ordnance and artifacts one by one. Annihilated nearly 280,000 encirclement and suppression troops, and the elite beggar army won a complete victory. The whole army was rewarded, the sacrifices were posthumously regarded as martyrs, and the whole army (including the soldiers of the uprising before the battle) was rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and a total of dozens of soldiers were awarded first-class military merits.

The military and civilians of the whole city are elated, and all the neighborhoods in the city are full of lanterns, dancing dragon lanterns, singing social operas, and enjoying infinite joy.

The Exquisite Ancient City has gained temporary peace.

Mei Lingfeng has been sitting on a high throne every day since he established himself as the king of the Peerless Kingdom, and he enjoys this feeling of being on top. However, he didn't know how to be this king, or rather, the king Mei Lingfeng wanted to be was different from all the kings in ancient history, and of course, it was not the same as the king that Chun Yuyi said. Perhaps Mei Lingfeng has always had a clear goal, from the east to the west, from the ancient city to the struggle against the Beigong, it shows that he has a clear goal - that is, to establish an autocratic and centralized ruling body to rule the people in the city, not the ancient history of Yao Shun, nor the republic of the Shang Tang period, let alone the great leader in the world of democracy and Datong in the hearts of Fanxiang and Chun Yuyi,—— what he wants to do is to win the government, but he may not have thought about how to be such a king. His thoughts are very hidden, and the occasional expression is enough to make Chun Yuyi and others question, because the appearance of the king in the hearts of Fanxiang and Chun Yuyi and others is not Yingzheng, nor Shang Tang in the republican period,—— the essence of this king, the key point is that they know that the king is uncertain, not Qin Shi Huang, nor any other king, but the king they created together with the people of the city - the great spirit and thought of a unified and strong country.

After the defeat of the Beigong encirclement and suppression army of the Elite Kingdom, during this seemingly short period of peace, everything in the Elite City began to change, and the speed of change continued to accelerate.

With the development of sophisticated agriculture, that is, from simple agricultural communities, to city-states, to kingdoms, social life and social forms were gradually replaced by new ways of life. As people were liberated from the tension of wartime, everything began to change, whether it was their diet, their thoughts, their way of communicating, their social life, or their relationship with the land on which they depended. The comfort of peace is like a softener, unconsciously and finally changing the development trajectory of the exquisite society, and also changing the development trajectory of the exquisite governance system, and this development trajectory inevitably makes a very small number of sober and insightful people gradually sober up and worried.

No matter how united an organization is and how consistent its program is, to a certain extent, new forces and new ideas will be alienated, whether the members of the organization have their own thinking ability or not, will be swallowed up by a powerful torrent and eventually become part of it. And while the collision of ideas can spark truth, most of the time, only the fireworks of death beckon.

As a result, idealists and conservatives have been alienated from the political system of the elite country. The two factions are torn against each other, taking the country to an unknown trajectory. And this problem is very troublesome to Fan Xiang and Chun Yuyi, or Mei Lingfeng.

In the short-lived atmosphere of peace deliberately created by Beigong, Jingjuguo embarked on a model of kingdom social governance with strict paternalistic morality and conservative politics, but this conservatism had a strange feature that confused later political observers - this is the disgust of the leadership of Jingjuguo, almost to the point of hatred. But conservatives do not hate the state; on the contrary, they regard patriotism as their highest creed; conservatives are explicitly democratic but not explicitly opposed to the monarchy, and they maintain a shadowy distance from the elite king. Nor do they hate the army; This has puzzled the political elite of the Elite Country. Conservatives are patriotic, loyal to the founder of the army, and do not oppose the elite king, but at the same time they dislike and even hate the leadership that governs the country. But this overlaps and contradicts idealism. Idealists want to build a society in which there is no universal royal power in a republican state. It's like a family level: loving their family and their ancestors, but at the same time hating and hating their father's mode of discipline.

The people who fled here did not like this form of disciplined governance. They feel that all this is distant, that it does not know at what level what is best, that it should not interfere or get in the way, and that if it does, it will be disgusted. They believe that the leadership is like a tyrannical father, perhaps inherently angry, negligent, ignorant, dangerous, and with the potential to get out of control. This means that citizens must protect themselves from the harm that the leadership, or the highest leadership, can do at any time. This creates an anti-leadership paranoia. These people love the country and they love their families. They trust their military as much as they trust in family institutions.
