After getting Luo Ze City, Liu Xuan's mood has not been able to calm down, and he is now facing a dilemma.

Carrying a double identity, there are millions of Nine Shadows army waiting quietly outside the city, and there are five million Daluo troops in the city, ready to go.

He couldn't be sure now that after these Daluo generals knew that he was the Emperor of Jiuyou, they would raise their eyes for hatred, and whether they would still be loyal.

Without thinking about it, he also knew that Da Luo and Jiuyou were already incompatible, and if he restored the identity of the Emperor of Jiuyou at this time, the morale of the five million army in Luo Ze City would definitely be high, and resisting to the end would become a major obstacle to his advance.

And when he thought about it, he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to persuade the generals to follow him, but also to merge these elite soldiers of Da Luo.

He could have abandoned the entire Luo Ze City at this time, returned to the Jiuyou Army, and directly razed Luo Ze City to the ground with artillery, but this made Liu Xuan feel that his efforts for more than two years seemed to be in vain.

And this problem, Liu Xuan directly threw Liu Yi and them.

In the camp fifty miles outside the east city, Liu Yi and other generals sat together with excited faces, they didn't expect that their emperor Liu Xuan would not die and become the commander of Da Luo's Eastern Expedition, and now, using Da Luo's tens of millions of military strength, he easily took Luo Ze City, saving the strength of the Jiuyou army.

At this time, Liu Yi looked at the secret letter in his hand, and after a long time, he raised his head to look at everyone, and said, "The emperor has sent a letter, there are still five million elite troops in Luo Ze City, if it is not handled well, it will definitely be a big obstacle to our Jiuyou, what do you think, tell me." ”

"What else can I do, if you don't surrender, just kill it." At this time, Wu Shen on the side said silently.

When everyone heard this, they were slightly shocked, that was an army of five million, not 500,000, let alone 50,000.

Wu Anping was silent for a moment, and then said, "Could it be that the emperor wants to absorb those troops?" ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly, a little noncommittal, the emperor did have the intention of accepting those troops for his use, but he and the emperor both understood that it was almost impossible to make the Da Luo army loyal to Jiuyou, after all, it was the time when the two countries were at war, and the slightly bloody soldiers would not choose their own people to fight their own people.

Even if the emperor has the intention of co-opting, I'm afraid he just has that mind, but he will never really do it.

And Liu Yi understands even more that the emperor sent a secret letter at this time, which is nothing more than the need for a positive answer, the answer that the emperor already has in his heart, now he just needs an affirmation.

Listening to everyone's discussions, Liu Yi said, "Since everyone thinks that the Da Luo Army is unreliable, let's get rid of it." ”

After Liu Yi said this, his eyes swept over everyone present, and the others were silent, they were all generals, when the two countries were at war, it was unrealistic to want to integrate the enemy army, these five million troops could be said to be the core military strength of Da Luo, if it could be absorbed, it would be the best, but if it could not be absorbed, it could only be killed.

If these five million troops are eliminated, the core army of the Daluo Dynasty will only be about five million now, so they will have full confidence in dealing with it.

That night, Liu Xuan received a reply, looking at the content of the letter, Liu Xuan was silent for a long time, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he casually threw the secret letter into the furnace

On the second day, the inspector came to report that the Jiuyou army quietly withdrew last night, and there was no trace at this time, except for Liu Xuan, the other generals looked surprised when they heard it.

It stands to reason that now is the time when their troops are at their weakest, but the Nine Shadows Army has quietly retreated, what do they mean?

Nangong Jin pondered for a long time, and suddenly, his face changed drastically, "Could it be that Jiuyou bypassed Luo Ze City and approached the Imperial City?" Yes, it must be. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, Liu Xuan was also 'stunned' for a moment, but in his heart he had to admire Nangong Jin's resourcefulness, if Liu Xuan was not the Emperor of Jiuyou, he would definitely think like this, Jiuyou is now fighting with Luo Ze City, it will only be thankless, even if he can win, the loss will be mostly half, and the only strategy is to give up Luo Ze City and go straight to the Imperial City, which is the best policy.

Therefore, Nangong Jin, who is a smart one, is afraid that he will be cheated again this time.

"Order the whole army, pursue at full speed, and rush to the imperial city to support." Liu Xuan said with a silent face.

Everyone took the promise and headed towards the barracks, and in a short time, the five million troops of Luoze City rushed towards the imperial city.

Along the way, Liu Xuan's Da Luo army did not pause, rushing for a hundred miles a day, camping and resting at night, and rushing towards the imperial city in an orderly manner, rushing for more than ten consecutive days, and the shadow of the Jiuyou Army was not seen, Nangong Jin became more and more guessing, they were pulling away and wanted to reach the imperial city quickly and extend the time for reinforcements.

Liu Xuan seemed very silent along the way, which made Nangong Jin see it, and he really thought that he was worried about the emperor's blame after killing Nangong Ba, and he didn't take it to heart.

Who would have thought that the dignified Eastern Crusade Commander would be the emperor of the Nine Shadows.

Finally, the Great Luo Army arrived at a land of mountains and cliffs, surrounded by barren and uninhabited, and the air exuded a scorching heat, which made people restless.

"What does General Nangong think?" At this time, Peng Yuan saw Nangong Jin stop his war horse and look ahead, his eyebrows locked deeply.

"General Peng doesn't think what would happen if there was an ambush here?" Nangong Jin came back to her senses and said with some worry.

Peng Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked into the distance, the surroundings were dead and heavy, and there was no sign of any figure in the distance, he said happily, "What can there be any ambush, the Nine Shadows Army is probably about to arrive in the imperial city now, we have to speed up." ”

Nangong Jin took a deep breath, maybe he was too worried.

Liu Xuan looked at the mountains and cliffs in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, letting the coachman lose at full speed forward, and the other generals were not surprised to see it, and they followed one after another.

And at this moment, just as Liu Xuan had just driven out of the canyon, there was suddenly a earth-shattering artillery fire around him, and without warning, countless mountains and rocks collapsed down, smashing frantically towards the troops below.

The army was in chaos, almost instantly, all the five million troops were buried in the canyon, and around the mountain peaks, a large number of Nine Shadow troops poured out, shouting.

Faced with this scene, Liu Xuan stopped, stood on top of the carriage, and looked at the army behind him from afar, his face was silent and terrifying.

"Great Commander, there is an ambush, we are surrounded, now hurry up and escape!" Peng Yuan and other generals hurried to protect them, but the Jiuyou army not far away had already rushed up.

Soon, Liu Xuan and the others were surrounded by the army, and in the entire canyon, under the repeated artillery bombardment, the last remaining remnants of Da Luo were less than one-tenth of twelve, and there were fires on all sides, and the fire oil poured down, and countless screams sounded.

It was a massacre, a one-sided slaughter
