Chapter 32: Pre-Alliance

With more than 20,000 young and strong slaves escorted from Kells to Shinojo, the construction of the western defense line will also speed up the construction speed. Although Wang Ping's kid killed nearly 40,000 old and weak women and children, and was also attacked by many civilian officials, Xiao Chen still insisted on protecting Wang Ping.

It's not just because Wang Ping vented his anger for himself and recovered a small amount of blood debt for the Han people. What's more, he currently has two famous generals supporting the power of Nuoda, if he punishes a general like this, relying on that group of tabula rasa and good generals, he estimates that it won't be long before he will be directly wiped out.

The matter of cutting off his arm, Xiao Chen is still unwilling to do it in his heart. In this way, Wang Ping slaughtered tens of thousands of people for fun, not only did he not receive any punishment, but he was also rewarded with 10,000 copper coins. Luo Cheng was even more dumbfounded, he could still play like this, he knew that I would also go to slaughter a city.

With the acquisition of Kells City, Xiao Chen's power has expanded a lot again. At the same time, it also formed a strategic encirclement of the old wolf of the Licheng forces in the east, achieved the previously predetermined strategic goals, and paved the way for the next action plan.

A few days later, Xiao Chen personally led three hundred cavalry to Kells City. After this city was captured, Xiao Chen didn't change its name, alas, it was too troublesome to name it, it was too much of a waste of brain cells, and he had already known that he would have spoken better before. However, it seems that the master's language has always been the best in each subject.

Entering the city, the walls were intact, and not even the houses had collapsed. However, there is not a single common person in sight, which makes this city full of strange atmosphere. The dim sky was mixed with gray-yellow sand particles, and there was not a single ray of sunlight in sight. As the wind blew, a few thatches that rose with the wind wandered around on the empty road. A house had its doors open, but there was not a single creature inside, and the doors creaked in the wind, and everything was so quiet. Except for the sound of the hooves of their own cavalry, no other sound could be heard.

It is unimaginable that a bustling city with a population of 50,000 or 60,000 can become such a ghost town in one day. The lifeless city is remarkably darkened, and the bustling city no longer exists, leaving only a dilapidated and eerie place of terror.

Xiao Chen finally understood why the army led by Wang Ping did not live in the city, so he had to go to the outside of the east city to set up camp. Nima, in such a city, there are a few people who dare to live, and the timid people are estimated to be unable to sleep all night. Besides, the 2,000 soldiers on the mission slaughtered so many people in one go, and a few of them dared to continue to live in the city, so it's not bad if they weren't stupid.

Continuing to walk on this gloomy avenue, Xiao Chen was also a little frightened in his heart, which felt really uncomfortable. "Wang Ping, your kid is really big enough, and the labor and management feel panicked when they walk on this road." Xiao Chen turned his head and said to Wang Ping beside him.

"Uh, ahem. Your Majesty, those old and weak women and children are a waste of food and nothing to do. The effort is completely disproportionate to the gain, and it is not worth catching them, but I can't figure out how to place them, so I can simply kill them. Wang Ping's heart was not beating and his face was not red.

Oh, I just found out, Wang Ping, this kid is quite bold, and his spirit is also great. He personally ordered the killing of so many people, and he lived in the city for two days, and he was stunned that nothing happened. This is also a fork.

Could it be that famous generals have special effects that are incomparable? However, why does Luo Cheng's kid look so ruthless. Since entering the city, the little face has always been a pale white, as if he was about to die, which is a world of difference compared to Wang Ping.

"Zijun, you kid stayed in the city for two nights, what did it feel like?" Xiao Chen asked the brave Wang Ping with curiosity. "Ahem, Your Majesty, seriously, if it weren't for those young men in the army, they would have to move out. I'd love to stay in the city for another two or three days. ”

When Xiao Chen heard this, why did he feel so wrong? Although the guy's army is all soldiers, it will not be so bad as to disobey military orders. Without the order of Wang Ping, the main general, that group of soldiers dared to ask the commander to move? Go hang it, you stupid hat Wang Ping.

"Ghost, Zijun, look behind you" Xiao Chen's face suddenly changed, his finger pointed behind Wang Ping, and he screamed loudly. Who knows, Wang Ping was unmoved at all, his eyes were closed, the reins of the horse were held in his hands, and he was still sitting on the back of the horse peacefully. On the contrary, it was Luo Cheng, who was so frightened that he fell directly from the horse, and then hurriedly rolled a carp and pulled out his sword by the way. The rest of the guards were also startled, and they pulled out their ring knives one after another, looking around nervously.

"What about the ghost? Where's the ghost? Luo Cheng was holding the sword in his hand, and he didn't know where the helmet had fallen.

Xiao Chen roared and laughed, a group of stupid people, scared by the master, hahaha. However, Wang Zijun is so calm, even the ghost can't scare him! This is too silky!

Well, when the guards saw Xiao Chen's smile as if he was about to ascend to heaven, they all reacted one by one. Hairy ghosts, will there be ghosts in broad daylight? Besides, there are so many people who are afraid that they will not be able to become ghosts, so Luo Cheng threw a few big eyes at Xiao Chen, and then he didn't know where to run, and found out that his helmet was neatly dressed, as if he was a handsome guy again.

It's time to continue the tour. Xiao Chen rode to Wang Ping's side and patted Wang Ping's shoulder with both hands: "Zijun." Looking at Wang Ping, who fell directly from the horse to the ground in a daze, Xiao Chen said the last word "ah" with a suffocation. Then, the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched fiercely, Nima, this is the leading general appointed by the master himself? Don't bring such a playful person, Wang Zijun, you are too cheating daddy, you were scared directly, I'll wipe it!

God always likes to play with human life when he has nothing to do, Xiao Chen's tour guide was frightened and fainted by a small accident, there is no commander in the army, and the morale is very bad. Xiao Chen had no choice but to order a few soldiers to carry Wang Ping and run to the camp.

When they came to the camp outside the East City Gate, the nearly 4,000 troops in the camp were still doing what they had to do. The keeper of the gate, the sweeper of the floor, the chef is also washing the leaves, preparing to cook a delicious meal for the big guy at noon. More than 2,000 soldiers were still lined up, training hard under the harsh light of Uncle Sun. A group of veteran ruffians gathered together again and opened the gambling board, playing the bet big and small.

The soldiers of the entire barracks did not seem to be affected by the massacre of the previous day, how the big guys should play or how to play. It's just that, in comparison, why are these two generals so unproductive? One has a dead face every day, and the other is not only a bully, but also directly stunned by a small joke. What kind of rhythm is this, shouldn't the master pick one of these soldiers to be the main general?

Looking at the thriving scene in the barracks, Xiao Chen immediately joined the battle of the group of veterans after sending away the group of followers, and fell into the abyss of gambling. However, when I was playing, it was as if the time had suddenly sped up several times, and it passed in a blink of an eye. I haven't had enough fun here, and I'm being called to do business again.

In the joint efforts of a group of veteran ruffians, Xiao Chen lost all the copper plates on his body, and finally found a few more guards, made an IOU, and borrowed hundreds of copper plates. continued to start losing until, when Wang Ping and Luo Cheng came to call Xiao Chen to eat, Xiao Chen was still very reluctant to leave. In the end, due to the protest of the little belly, Xiao Chen had no choice but to put down a cruel sentence: "You bastards wait for me, when I come back to Donglin City, we will fight again, I still don't believe in the uncle, I won't be able to win." After the cruel words were put down, Xiao Chen left the gambling market fortunately.

It's time to eat, so let's not bother with those bastards. Today, the master saw that the group of Qiu Ba was poor, so he let them, and he will definitely not let them next time. The food was presented, and Xiao Chen saw that there were fish, meat and vegetables. The fish are all small hairy fish, and if you look at the size, you know which bastard touched it by the way while taking a bath. The meat is not bad, but it has always been a whole chicken. Let's not mention the greens, although it is also a little green, but no matter how you look at it, it looks a little like grass, is this to feed this king as a sheep?

Still, I thought about it. When many of the big men who crossed over raised the big soldiers, they trained with the soldiers and ate together. Now, although training together has been ruthlessly wiped out, it is still feasible to have a meal together. Just think that the barracks is a big dining table, and I sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, that is, eat on the upper seat, and the younger brothers are eating next to it, which can be regarded as eating the same pot of rice.

Holding back the feeling of tumbling in his stomach, he finally swallowed what was in front of him. In order to share weal and woe with the soldiers, in order to become a Ming Jun, the master endured it. A little unpalatable meal is nothing, it's a big deal to go back at night and let your little daughter-in-law make up for herself.

After eating, Xiao Chen arranged for Wang Ping to lead an army of 2,000 and garrison it in Kells City to guard against the threat of more than ten cities in the south. And Luo Cheng was the commander of the rest of the army, and returned to Donglin City with Xiao Chen.

Just returned to Donglin City, Xiao Chen also planned to go to the fun places in the city to go around. Who knew that Li Ming, the bastard, actually stayed at the gate of the city and waited for him, as soon as they met, without waiting for Xiao Chen to say a word, he was dragged back to the palace by this guy.

As soon as he entered the consultation hall, Xiao Chen was stunned by the crowd in front of him. Why are so many people, can it be said that so many people come to join him after he leaves for most of the day? In the end, after secretly questioning, Li Ming learned that the original dozens of people did not come to take refuge in him, but officials sent by the Licheng forces in the east to form an alliance.

As soon as he inquired, Xiao Chen immediately became serious, and at the same time glared at Old Man Li fiercely with squinted eyes. Nima, a diplomat from a foreign power, you still ran back with your labor-management clothes. It's good to look at it now, what kind of clothes have been torn by you, wrinkled like that Wushan, which greatly damaged the majesty of this king.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, his eyes shot straight ahead, and he strode towards the direction of the dragon chair, and by the way, he sorted out the clothes on his body. Walking to the dragon chair, Xiao Chen felt a big loss of face. Alas, a group of ignorant guys, they don't know how to repair the dragon chair for the king first, if it squeaks for a while, it will be ugly on the face.

Forget it, let's just do it. Sitting on the dilapidated dragon chair, sure enough, as the king expected, it was really a faceless creak. Xiao Chen had no choice but to cough lightly twice and said, "I don't know what happened when your envoy came?" ”

A Li Cheng envoy below immediately stood up, and it was estimated that he was a first-class figure. "The foreign minister greets the king on behalf of the king of my family. On the orders of the king of my family, the foreign ministers have come to discuss the formation of an alliance with your forces. ”

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, this alliance, he must be the boss on his side, otherwise it would be inappropriate. Since this is the case, then you have to directly overwhelm the other party with momentum, "Hehe, your envoy laughed." My Donglin City now has more than 10,000 soldiers in armor and 300,000 people, and we don't seem to need allies much at the moment. Besides, your forces are in the east of my Donglin City, blocking the way of our army's advance, if this alliance is formed, then won't my Donglin City be trapped in the land of these four cities? Hehe, in this way, the alliance is not good for us. ”

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the face of the big leader of Li Cheng's envoy suddenly turned ugly. It seems that what their own king said is right, Donglin City captured Kells City a few days ago, so the closest to them is their own sphere of influence. If you don't form an alliance, the army of Donglin City may come over at any time.

Moreover, a few days ago, in order to capture the Tengcheng (the system city near Licheng), they lost a lot of troops, and the army is currently recuperating. If you start a war with Donglin City, the odds of victory are too low, and you can only end up with the destruction of the city. Therefore, when I came this time, I must form an alliance with Donglin City, otherwise my own forces will only be wiped out.

"The king's words are not right, and there are still many forces to the south of our two forces. Among them, there are many people with three or four thousand soldiers, and there are many with five thousand armor. Moreover, many of the forces in the south have formed alliances. If you and I do not form an alliance, we will definitely be broken by the enemy in the south one by one, and everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, so if we form an alliance, we will get the greatest benefits. ”

Damn, this old man has good debating skills, and he knows how to take advantage of the situation. However, hehe, you have a good plan, and the master has also crossed the wall ladder.

"Your envoy, don't scare the king, haha. Seriously, even if he doesn't form an alliance, this king regards the southern forces like chickens and dogs. As long as we don't form an alliance, our Donglin City army will come from day to night, and it will only take a few days to destroy your Li City. When the time comes, this king will gather the power of the six cities and sit and watch the southern princes fight. As soon as the time came, the troops went out of the southeast and swept through the eight wildernesses. ”

Xiao Chen stood up as he spoke, waving his hands as if he were pointing at the country. "I wonder what your envoy thinks of this king's strategic intentions?"

Standing on the high platform, Xiao Chen looked at the Li Cheng envoy below, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Hehe, boy, fight with Uncle Ben, you can't play it, strength represents everything at the negotiation table
