251. Chapter 251
Xiao Mojue drove the expedition in person and lifted the morale of the army.
Wu Qingyang was beheaded by the Celestial Empire to show the public, and everyone knew that after Wu Qingyang was captured, he still swore allegiance to the Celestial Empire and was not used by Daye, and the queen Niangniang thought of letting him go back in the old days, but she didn't want the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to be narrow-minded and not allow loyal ministers. This statement has intensified and spread throughout the Celestial Empire and several other countries in more than ten days, and the people's will has naturally shifted.
The million male soldiers led by Feng Zhuo did not arrive at the border of Daye as scheduled, and the soldiers suspected that the other party was cheating, Xiao Mojue resolutely ordered the troops to attack the city in two ways, and captured two cities in successive days, among which the Liangcheng defenders surrendered without a fight. And the last powerful protective barrier to the Yan Kingdom, it was Xu Yanze who defended the city.
Xu Yanze once had a relationship with Xiao Mojue, and he was the only person who made him admire the young man's high spirits, but now that the two of them meet each other, I can't help but sigh in my heart.
"I can't imagine that Lord Xu is so stupid and loyal, even so, see you on the battlefield tomorrow! This time, I am no longer merciful! ”
Xiao Mojue raised his eyebrows and spurred his horse back to the camp.
He didn't expect Xu Yanze to be so handsome and clear, just like a high-flying immortal who is free and immortal, which is easier to get close to than Moli's alienated indifference. Thinking that he had been with Yuexi for a few years, he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart, since he brushed off his kindness, he didn't have to have a silhouette heart when he started a war tomorrow. Although Xiao Mojue deliberately didn't think about the poison of love, although his hatred dissipated with Xu Yanchen's death, he subconsciously didn't like the people of the Xu family, especially Xu Yanze, who was somewhat similar to Xu Yanchen.
Xu Yanchen stood on the city wall, watching Daye's elite troops deploy the formation, and for the first time there was worry on his handsome face.
Xiao Mojue used soldiers like a god in his early years, and after the baptism of hatred, his methods will be even more ruthless, and tomorrow is afraid that it will be a tragic battle, I hope Feng Zhuo's army can come in time.
"My lord, it's not good, Daye's army has cut off our only way back."
A lieutenant hurried up to the castle tower, his white cloak blowing in the breeze.
"Make it clear!"
Xu Yanchen's hand behind his back couldn't help but clench.
"The people we sent out lost contact, and when our subordinates arrived at the Yujiang River, they found dozens of large boats entrenched in the river, and the subordinates asked the local fishermen, and they said that these boats were all boats coming in from Beihaikou."
The ship that can sail in from Beihaikou, except for Da Ye, who is advanced in shipbuilding and skilled in water, who else can there be?
Xu Yanchen looked at the Daye military camp in the distance again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Could it be that God wills my Xu family to be treacherous for generations!"
It seems to be a question, and it seems to be an exclamation.
"My lord, the last general will swear allegiance to your lord and defend the Celestial Empire to the death!"
Several generals knelt on the ground in unison to express their attitude. No matter how they worshipped the god of war before, now they are indeed clear between friend and foe, their duty is to guard the frontier, and they would rather die on the battlefield than surrender!
"This official is just afraid that he will anger Emperor Ye and affect innocent people."
Xu Yanchen raised his hand to signal them to get up, still looking into the distance and worried.
"Emperor Ye has always been kind to captives, let alone innocent people."
Hearing this, Xu Yanchen turned around, stared at them with a stern expression and said in a deep voice: "Before, he was recovering people's hearts and making the hearts of the people in the world favor him, but now, he is going to destroy the Celestial Empire with a hateful heart. ”
"This ......"
"General Li, six years ago, Feng Zhuo was the main general during the trip to Baiworm Mountain, and you were the deputy general, he hibernated for five years and defeated the Mo Shangsai forces in one fell swoop to ascend to the throne, do you think he will let you go?"
Li Yannian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Six years ago, it was a nightmare for him.
The elite soldiers of the Regent's Mansion once fought against a hundred, but they didn't even have the power to fight back under their butcher's knives. Feng Zhuo seemed to be red-eyed, and those people died miserably. And he and his soldiers were rewarded and promoted one by one after returning to the court.
The moon disappeared into the clouds, and a black horse took advantage of the night to run towards the north gate.
"General, the last general will not obey his fate."
Captain Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, was a soldier brought out by Li Yannian, and when he heard the reason why he wanted to leave the city, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Do you want to watch hundreds of thousands of innocent people die because of me?"
"If you go, you will really anger Emperor Ye."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him, both of them were stunned, and Captain Yun pulled out his sword and stared vigilantly at the person who slowly walked out of the shadow in the corner.
Dressed in a navy blue cloth robe, with a handsome and elegant face, and a steady demeanor, he seemed to look a little similar to the guards around Xu Yanchen, because the sky was dark, Li Yannian couldn't see it clearly for a while. Captain Yun was just about to scold and question, but the person came and said slowly: "Lord Xu has already guessed the general's thoughts, so he asked his subordinates to stay here, my lord, please." ”
Hearing this, Li Yannian seemed to believe it, put away the scimitar, lowered his head and raised his head again with a determined gaze: "Please go back and tell Lord Xu that if I can use my life to reduce Emperor Ye's anger and protect the safety of the people in the city, I will still be honored even if I die!" ”
"Hehehe, does Master Li think his life is very valuable?" The person who came sneered and said lightly, his tone full of mockery.
"What do you mean?"
Li Yannian was a little annoyed, and his face changed.
The person who came took a step forward and stared at Li Yannian, and his voice suddenly became indifferent: "More than 2,000 royal soldiers, but 20,000 troops on the battlefield, died in your plot for no apparent reason, do you think that Emperor Ye only killed 20,000 people to pay tribute to them?" Lord Li, what he wants is the emperor of the Celestial Empire, if you go, not only will you give your life in vain, but it will also remind Emperor Ye of the tragic and crazy killing back then! If you really think about the people, this life will be kept for the time being! ”
The events of that year are vivid, and Yun Zheng seems to have seen their eyes when they were dying again...... Suddenly, he shuddered.
"General......
"Who the hell are you?"
Li Yannian interrupted Yun Zheng's words and suddenly stared at the person who came, he didn't believe that the person who could say this was just a personal soldier, there was a strange feeling in this person, as if you would never find it again when he walked into the crowd, if he wanted you to find it, he would make you recognize it at a glance.
"It doesn't matter who it is, if you insist on going your own way, you have to go back to your life."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Yannian was stunned for a long time, sighed and followed.
There is a saying: It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come.
The blood debt six years ago was indeed not something he could pay off with one life.
Xu Yanze learned that Li Yannian was going to the north gate alone, so he immediately ordered someone to chase him, but Li Yannian turned back again.
"Didn't that pro-soldier just now be sent by Lord Xu?"
Seeing that Xu Yanze didn't know, Li Yannian blurted out in surprise, and came to Xu Yanze's next question.
"My lord, is that person a spy who came in with Daye?"
If it was really a spy, it was terrible, and they thought that they would not be able to fly in even a sparrow if they were trapped in the city.
Xu Yanze shook his head with a deep sigh and said: "He is a close friend of this official, if it weren't for him, you would really be in trouble, go down!" ”
When everyone went down, Xu Yanze walked into the courtyard alone, and the night wind blew the lantern hanging on the top of the door flickering.
Ling Yuexi, is that you?
