"Guo Quan, you-" Ji Qingchen's face was horrified, he never imagined that Guo Quan's would make such a move, and he would end his life in this way, and prove to himself in turn that he betrayed his punishment.

"Your Highness - Brother Jiu - Guo Quan's life is very content to be your brother, but it's a pity - Guo Quan's can't be your forever brother, Guo Quan's is not worthy of being your brother." Guo Quan's breath said weakly, he took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "Guo Quanyou, Your Highness, I am willing to die to thank the world!" ”

As soon as the words fell, his body fell in a pool of blood.

"Commander—"

"General—"

The three hundred "iron clothes" kneeling on the ground shouted loudly, their eyes full of tears.

"Protect Your Highness—quickly—"

At this time, Zhang Rang, Feng Tang, Shi Hu and others shouted loudly, and suddenly guarded Ji Qingchen in the middle. They were afraid that after Guo Quan's death, the three hundred people present would suddenly make a disadvantage against Ji Qingchen.

It's a pity that Ji Qingchen is not conducive to letting them, he strode forward and yelled loudly, "Get out-"

Zhang Rang and Feng Tang, who were blocking in front of Ji Qingchen, were stunned for a moment, and a little helplessly made way for Ji Qingchen, Ji Qingchen calmly walked in front of Guo Quan, who was lying in a pool of blood, stretched out his right hand and slowly closed Guo Quan's open eyes.

Suddenly, at this very moment, three hundred "Iron Clothes" secret guards unsheathed their swords at the same time, shouting loudly, "'Iron Clothes' have a negative Highness, and I am willing to die to thank the world!" ”

"Poof—"

"Pss

As soon as the words fell, he saw three hundred war knives slashed at his throat, and at the same time, blood gushed out, and three hundred people fell in a pool of blood, and the blood stained the small courtyard red at once.

"This-" Zhang Rang was stunned, he didn't expect that the "Iron Suit" secret guard would commit suicide like Guo Quan, in order to atone for his great sin of betraying Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao. Feng Tang, Shi Hu and others around him did not expect that the "iron suit" who had competed with them for several years would disappear in the long river of history in such a way today.

"Zhang Rang, bury them!" Ji Qingchen said lightly, and did not stay in the small courtyard anymore, but left by himself.

"No!" Zhang Rang took the order and handed over the task to Shi Hu, and he followed Ji Qingchen in small steps and left the small courtyard in a hurry.

As soon as the two of them left the small courtyard and returned to the study, they saw Su Jian, Mu Zhan, Li You and Ji Xuanyuan coming to the study to see him. After the four of them finished saluting Ji Qingchen, Su Jian, who had the highest military rank among the four, spoke first, "Your Highness, the army of Sanchez has been annihilated, and the siege of Jinju City has been lifted, please show your Highness!" ”

Sanchez only had 40,000 foot soldiers, and Su Jian and Mu Zhan and their four-way army of 80,000 iron cavalry charged Sanchez in four different directions, and it only took one charge to break the defense line of Sanchez's army, but it took a night to chase and kill Sanchez's army, and this morning completely annihilated the 40,000 army.

"Huh!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, still very satisfied with the results of the four of them, but he didn't speak immediately, but fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked Zhang Rang, "Where are the 100,000 backswords?" ”

"I've passed Yiju and I'm about to set foot on the border of Jinju." Zhang Rang replied immediately.

"As soon as they step into Jinzhou, Mengli will definitely block their retreat, and when the time comes, lead them to Yiyang, and we will fight them to the death in Yiyang!" Ji Qingchen said in a cold tone, "You ordered the heads of Sang Xiong and Sanchez to be hung in the Yiyang City Tower, and this king wants to let the people of Lingnan know what kind of price it will take to invade Dayan." ”

"No!" Zhang Rang bowed down to receive the order. And Su Jian and Mu Zhan on the side and the other four people were shocked, and hung the heads of Sang Xiong and Sanchez on the Yiyang City Tower, which was a provocation to the Lingnan Yi tribe, a contempt and disdain for the eight Lingnan tribes, and an insult to Lingnan!

Because Lingnan people respect warriors, as long as they die on the battlefield, their corpses will be disposed of well, and Ji Qingchen's cooking obviously violates the customs of the Lingnan Yi people.

However, Sang Xiong and Sanchez's army committed heinous evil deeds in Yizhou, and now Ji Qingchen has no opinion on doing this, so they collectively expressed their acquiescence in silence.

"The siege of Jinzhou has been lifted, and now our goal is 100,000 back soldiers, this is the real elite of the Lingnan Eight Clans, we can't be cautious in this battle!" Ji Qingchen sighed and said, he thought about it slightly, just like Su Jian and the four of them ordered, "Su Jian, Mu Zhan, Li You, Ji Xuanyuan!" ”

"The last general!" Su Jian and Mu Zhan led the order.

"Rest for the night tonight, tomorrow it is clear that you will set off for Yiyang immediately, and you must lure 100,000 soldiers to Yiyang City, and you must not let them burn and loot in Jinzhou City again." Ji Qingchen said, "When 100,000 soldiers enter Yiyang City, Meng Li will lead a large army to Yiyang to meet you, and you will have to listen to his command at that time." ”

"No!" Su Jian, Mu Zhan, Li You and Ji Xuanyuan received the order, and seeing that Ji Qingchen did not receive any orders, he bowed down and withdrew from the study.

"Zhang Rang, you prepare, let's go back to King's Landing." Ji Qingchen said to Zhang Rang.

"Your Highness, this is-the matter of the 'Iron Cloak' can be solved, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it anymore!" Zhang Rang said. Now Guo Quanhe and the 300 "iron coat" elite have committed suicide, but Guo Quan has been running the "iron suit" for several years, and if he wants to completely understand the remnants of the "iron coat", Zhang Ranghe's "inner factory" is still very heavy task.

"'Iron Yi' betrayed the king, not only Guo Quan's alone, but also Jiang Rou and the Lingnan Yi clan were involved, so this matter is not as simple as we see, Guo Quan's death is just a cover for the truth, the real inside story is still in King's Landing, so we have to go back to King's Landing." Ji Qingchen said in a solemn tone, "If we can't find out how Guo Quan's collusion with Jiang Rou and the Lingnan people, what can we do if we destroy the 'iron suit'?" Besides, there is no whereabouts of Jiang Rou and Guo Xiang so far, and I don't know if their king is not safe to sleep! ”

"Your Highness, it's the incompetence of the slaves, please punish Your Highness!" Zhang Rang understood and excused himself.

As the leader of the "inner factory", it is his job to arrest Jiang Rou and Guo Xiang, but now there is still no trace of the two, and this crime should naturally be borne by him.

"You can't be blamed for this matter, the strength of the 'Iron Suit' and the 'Inner Factory' are equal, you not only have to deal with Guo Quan, but also be responsible for the intelligence of the army. Ji Qingchen said, "However, now that Guo Quan has cut himself, Jiang Rou and Guo Xiang are the main targets of your 'inner factory', and this king wants to know the news of the two of them after returning to King's Landing." ”

"No!" Zhang Rang received the order and immediately exited the study to instruct Feng Tang and them to go all out to find the whereabouts of Jiang Rou and Guo Xiang.

In the afternoon, the officials and gentry in Jinju City learned that Ji Qingchen, the king of Dayan Parliament, was in Jinju City, so they jointly came to visit Ji Qingchen, the prince who had power in the world.

According to Ji Qingchen's previous style, he would not pay attention to them at all, but the current situation is different, Jinzhou has just been devastated by the Lingnan army, and the Jinzhou gentry need to dedicate their strength to recuperate, and they also need the assistance of the Jinzhou gentry to deal with 100,000 backswain soldiers in Yizhou.

Therefore, he was no longer willing to see everyone, so he could only reluctantly meet everyone, and participated in the dinner party prepared for him by everyone at the kind invitation of everyone, and then returned to his mansion happily.

In the early morning of the next day, 60,000 iron cavalry gathered under the city of Jinzhou, and when Ji Qingchen issued a military order to Su Jian and Mu Zhan, Li You and Ji Xuanyuan, 60,000 iron cavalry killed Yiyang under the leadership of Su Jian.

And not long after the army left Yiyang, Ji Qingchen rode out of Jinzhou City under the escort of the 200 Xiao cavalry battalion and disappeared in the direction of King's Landing.

……

There is a military town on the border between Jinju and Yiju, which is the place where Dayan hoards the grain and grass of the army. Now this place has been occupied by the Lingnan army. This army is what Ji Qingchen said, the 100,000 back soldiers sent by the eight clans of Lingnan to Sang Xiong.

The Carrying Soldier is the elite of the Lingnan elite, and is known as the king of foot soldiers, a kind of military between light infantry and heavy infantry. The population of the eight ethnic groups in Lingnan has reached 1,000, and when the men of the eight ethnic groups in Lingnan are all soldiers, there are only less than 200,000 back-to-back soldiers. It can be seen how high the requirements of the backers are for the non-commissioned soldiers, and how difficult the training of the backers is.

Therefore, this time, the eight clans of Lingnan once again increased their troops to the army, and they were 100,000 back soldiers.

It can be seen that they made such a decision when they saw that Sang Xiong had broken through Yizhou all the way, and then entered Jinzhou, and had the momentum of troops approaching King's Landing City.

It's a pity that now, after they have lost the support of the "iron suit", and because of the purge of the "inner factory", their intelligence is very closed.

Therefore, the main general who commanded this army, the younger brother of the patriarch of the Gaoshan clan, and the general of the Gaoshan clan, Gao Lan, had died in battle against Sang Xiong, and the news that the 300,000 army was completely annihilated by Ji Qingchen was not clear at all.

At this time they were drinking and merry-making themselves in the tent.

In addition to Gao Ran, there were seven or eight generals in the big tent, all of whom were the commanders of the backstabbing soldiers of the eight clans in Lingnan. This is a multi-ethnic elite formed by an army of eight tribes.

"General Gao, our 100,000 soldiers are stronger than Sang Xiong's 300,000 army, why do we have to listen to Sang Xiong's command?" One of the leaders of the Danyang clan in the big tent raised his glass and said drunkly.

The Danyang clan and the Baiyan clan are adjacent to each other, and there have been many struggles between the two clans because of territorial issues, and the relationship between the two clans is not very good, so this general named Shan Hao will say so. And whenever the Baiyan clan and the Danyang clan are fighting, the Gaoshan clan will often come forward to resolve the contradiction between the two clans, so Shan Hao has a good impression of the Gaoshan clan, and this time the Lingnan army's invasion of Dayan is an excellent military achievement, Shan Hao will express his dissatisfaction with his army under the hands of Sang Xiong, and he hopes that this military merit will be obtained by Gao Lan.

"Hmph-Mulberry's 300,000 army is still in Jinju, which shows that his ability is nothing more than that!" Suddenly, another military general said loudly, "This time we stepped into Jinju, naturally we have to act alone, Sang Xiong is not qualified to command us-"

"That's right! It's long overdue—"

Because there were no people from the Baiyan tribe among the 100,000 back soldiers, everyone could speak openly, and there was a situation where they were dissatisfied with Sang Xiong as the commander of the army.

"Newspaper—" Just as everyone was shouting loudly, suddenly the sound of scouts came from outside the tent.

"Come in!" Gao Ran commanded. Seeing that the curtain of the big tent was lifted, a scout walked in, and when everyone saw that the scout was covered in blood and panting, they suddenly fell silent, and all of them turned their eyes to him, wondering how this scout was injured and what information he had to say.

"General, when we were scouting the enemy situation in front, we encountered several deserters from the Baiyan clan, and they said that General Sang Xiong had defeated Jinzhou City and had retreated to Yiyang City." The scout said word for word.

"What?" Gao Ran was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Jinzhou City, Sang Xiong would be defeated, so he asked suspiciously, "What you said is the truth?" Where are these Baiyan deserters, you let them in to see General Ben at once, I have something to ask them. ”

"General, in addition to these deserters, we also met more than a dozen Dayan Iron Cavalry who pursued them, my companions have died in battle to buy me time, and I also fought hard to come back to report to the general!" With that, the scout lowered his head.

All of a sudden, there was silence in the big tent!

Everyone was shocked by this sudden news, and a moment ago they were still arguing about how to attack Jinzhou City and how to break through King's Landing, but now what they heard was that Sang Xiong had fled to Yiyang City in defeat.

It's- that's too much of a contrast, isn't it?

Only Gao Ran still maintained a calm and generous demeanor, and after he asked the scout to leave, he ordered everyone to disperse, and sat alone in the big tent and fell into deep thought.

Now that Sang Xiong has retreated to Yiyang, will he continue to go north to Jinzhou City? It's better to go to Yiyang to rescue Sang Xiong first, and then the two of them will go north to Jinzhou City in one place.

If you go north to Jinju alone, break through Jinju City, and then continue to go north to King's Landing, if you can capture King's Landing City, this great feat will be your own! But if you don't rescue Sang Xiong and let Sang Xiong die in Yiyang, this will affect the morale of the army, and will make you bear the charge of not saving you when you see death, and it will affect your own commander in the future.

Gao Ran suddenly fell into a struggle!
