Chapter 353: Survivor of the Era

Yongzhou is connected with Liangzhou in the west, connected with Bingzhou and Shendu in the east, and the north is mountainous, stretching for more than 800 miles. However, compared with Yizhou, the mountains in the north of Yongzhou are steep and precipitous, but there are also many open and gentle places, where the army passes, and the carriages and horses run without hindrance, unlike Yizhou, where only one person is allowed to pass through the narrowest part of the mountain road.

The northern part of the Great Zhou Empire is a stretch of mountains, which is a natural barrier that stretches for thousands of miles, starting from Liangzhou Yangjue Pass in the west and ending in Youzhou Luoyan Pass in the east.

The land of the river is in the north of Yongzhou, starting from the outermost edge of the 800-mile mountain range, the elevation to the north is in vain, but the terrain is much gentler, and because the river flows, the water and grass are abundant. Further north in the land of the river is the outside of the Saiwai.

The land outside the fortress is very vast, connected to the wasteland in the southwest, and connected to Fengyuan in the east, and the demon domain is in it. Six hundred years ago, before the collapse of the barbarian empire, the place where the current demon domain is located is the largest royal court of the barbarians.

And the other royal court they built was in the land of the river, which is now Huangcheng.

Huangcheng is built on the bank of the Huangshui, where the Huangyuan is the richest area of the river, the water system is abundant, the east and west are two hundred miles deep, the north and south are more than one hundred miles deep, it is like a wedge, wedged into the whole river land.

The land of Hehuang was the place where the battle between the Zhou army and the barbarian army was the fiercest. At the height of the Great Zhou Empire, the barbarians retreated north, and the Zhou army came out of the land of Hehuang and attacked the outside of the fortress in the north, and launched a fierce confrontation with the barbarians in the vast land outside the fortress.

After the Zhou army obtained the land of Hehuang, they established a hub for storing and transporting grain and grass in the former royal court of the barbarians, which was also the predecessor of Huangcheng.

Until the end, 100,000 Imperial Forest troops marched north from Hojing, passed through Huangcheng, and surrounded the current demon domain, giving the barbarians the final blow.

At the time of the Emperor's reign, the city was still under the control of the Zhou army. More than 30 years ago, the world was in turmoil, and the last Zhou army stationed in Huangcheng was destroyed by the demon clan, and the entire land of Hehuang also fell into the hands of the demon clan.

Nowadays, there are a lot of demon recipes scattered in the huge river. Tongueless, giant horn, and green face, these three former big demons are the demon cubes established in the area bordering Yongzhou in the land of Hehuang.

However, the demon cube established by Tongueless, Giant Horn, and Blue Mask is just a small force in the entire Hehuang Land.

"Is this Huangcheng?"

Three young generals in armor stood on the top of the mountain, followed by six hundred soldiers. Different from the barren land in the impression of the journey, the Huangyuan in front of you is full of green fields, abundant Lingqi, and full of vitality.

Huangcheng is not like the general plain city, the city pattern is horizontally spread, but the layout of the mountain city, scattered distribution, cascading. Since the demon clan took control of this Huang City, it is obvious that a large number of additions have been made, and the top layer of the city has been transformed into a palace.

The palace is majestic, but it is not the architectural style of the demon clan, but a typical Zhou Que, and the eagle looks at the entire city.

The one who controls this Huangcheng is the Great Demon Wingtail, one of the thirteen fierce demons of the Demon Clan, and the most powerful demon leader in the entire Hehuang Land.

He has about 30,000 demon soldiers and 20,000 brute soldiers under his command, and his strength is quite strong.

Now in the Huangcheng Palace, the atmosphere is dull. In front of Wing Tail, there is a messenger from the Demon Domain, one of the ministers of the Demon Emperor Wu Hao.

Tu Chuan's face is quite young, almost a teenager, but his actual age is not much different from the previous generation of Demon Emperors, and he was once the most loyal follower of the previous generation of Demon Emperors.

The last generation of the demon emperor of the demon clan was defeated by Yuan Cheng, and his ambition was all in vain. However, Tu Chuan's ambition was not extinguished, and because of his disappointment with the previous demon emperor, he threw himself into Wu Hao.

Most of the ministers around Wu Hao are the younger generation of powerhouses in the demon clan, just like the nine-tailed fox Su Ying. Tuchuan is one of the few old guys.

The reason why Wu Hao sent Tu Chuan, instead of those shoguns of the Shao Zhuang faction, was because Wu Hao knew that it was more suitable to deal with a big demon like Wing Tail, and an old minister like Tu Chuan.

"Wing Tail, you should also feel Liang Jun's movements, right?"

Wingtail has a rather sturdy middle-aged appearance, with blonde hair and beard, and like Tukawa, the traces of the beast on his body have disappeared.

Wingtail had a gloomy face, in fact, as the most powerful demon leader in the Land of the River, he had always kept an eye on Liang Jun's movements.

The Liang army, the army under the command of the most powerful princes of the Great Zhou Empire, was silent for a year after the defeat of the Shu State, and then there was an abnormal movement a few days ago.

The Liang army showed signs of large-scale mobilization of troops, and the scale was only at the time of the original attack on Shu. And Huan Wu has just eased the relationship with Zhu Zi in Liangzhou, so where Liang Jun's target is, it is a little intriguing.

Wing Tail led the demon clan to defeat the Zhou army and occupy Huangcheng, so naturally he would not be a fool. The Liang army had just experienced the defeat of the Battle of Shu, and it was obviously impossible for them to move south again in such a short period of time, so the goal near Yongzhou that was worthy of them to mobilize such a large number of troops was obvious.

"What did Your Majesty say?"

Wing Tail originally wanted to say Wu Hao, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally changed his honorific name. The demon side has always been independent of the demon domain, and the demon convenience in this river land is even more so.

After all, Wing Tail didn't want to have too stiff relations with Wu Hao, especially at this time, under the huge pressure of Liang Jun.

"The dispute between Liang and Shu, Huan Wu and Yang Xian will break out sooner or later. According to our intelligence, this operation of the Liang army was to prepare for that time. The situation is already very clear, Huan Wu wants the land of Hehuang, although Yang Xian's hand can't reach it, he may not want it. And His Majesty the Demon Emperor, I also hope that the demon clan here can return to the rule of the Demon Domain, for our common enemy, and for the future of our clan to gather enough strength to conquer the entire Great Zhou Empire. ”

"Is that what Your Majesty thinks? However, I am no longer young and vigorous. I've been tired of hearing this kind of rhetoric decades ago. Even if the current Zhou people decline, they are far stronger than the power of His Majesty the Demon Emperor. How could he guarantee that he was not the same as the previous generation of demon emperors? Nowadays, I only believe in the soldiers and horses of the city, only in the power in my hands, and I do not fight for a false slogan. ”

Tuchuan laughed, a little sad.

"I understand how you feel, because we are all survivors of that era. Back then, Yang You'an and Yuan Shoucheng joined forces and almost slaughtered the big demons and barbarian witches among the four tribes and nine clans and thirteen fierce men of our demon clan. It's just that the battle between the Zhou people is far more fierce than we imagined. You should also know that after that, Yang You'an and Yuan Shoucheng fought, and the seventeen great masters of the star lineage died at the hands of Yang You'an, including Yuan Shou'an himself. And it is precisely because of the battle between the Zhou people that you were able to attack Huangyuan and capture Huangcheng, aren't you? ”

Tsubashi was silent, and Tukawa continued, "And this time it's the same. It's just that what our clan has gained is no longer a small river land, but the entire Great Zhou. ”

"Me."

Just as Wing Tail was about to say something, a very noisy voice suddenly appeared outside the palace. The heavy gate was opened, and a large number of demon soldiers poured in.

"What's going on? Didn't you tell you not to disturb my counsel with your guests? ”

"Zhou Zhoujun has come in!"

"What!"

Whether it is the wing tail or the Tuchuan, the complexion changes at this time.
