Chapter Seventy-Two: Soldiers Arrive at Gyeongju City
On the other side of the white light, holding the dust of the chaotic mirror, he stared in the direction where the white light was emanating.
In the moment of loneliness, he waited peacefully, waiting for Yi Jiuxiao's primordial spirit to become messy.
It's just that the spear kept stabbing and stabbed at the dusty dantian.
And in Feng Chen's expectant eyes, he didn't see a trace of change in Yi Jiuxiao's primordial spirit.
How did he know that Yi Jiuxiao was a mortal body, and he didn't have a primordial god at all.
Until death, Feng Chen had never seen Yi Jiuxiao's changes, but he heard it, and heard the sound of the golden pill in his dantian shattering.
At this moment, he really regretted that he couldn't stay in the camp all the time, and regretted that he didn't escape in time, but it was too late!
At the last moment, when he was dying, he squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "You are not the prince." ”
However, the voice was too faint for only himself and Yi Jiuxiao to hear.
Immediately, the corpse began to fall, but Yi Jiuxiao did not let it fall, but picked it up with a gun and collected his ring.
When he killed the prince just now, he didn't have time to take care of it, so he let the body fall to the ground.
But now, that won't happen again.
"Commanders and sergeants, listen, now the two culprits of the Feng family have been ambushed, if you have no intention of betraying the Wei State, you have no intention of being an enemy of the imperial court, and if you want to return to your hometown, please retreat thirty miles. If you sincerely submit to this king, please squat down in the same place, and wait for the king's dispatch, and the rest will not be spared!"
Yi Jiuxiao's words could only be transmitted a few miles away, but his voice was constantly transmitted in the ranks, and finally everyone knew his orders.
The 100,000-strong army was in an uproar, and some of them kept retreating, hoping to return to their hometowns safely.
More people squatted in place, hoping to be sent by the prince and make contributions.
Only a few thousand people remained in the venue, trying to resist to the end.
"Those who are willing to submit to this king, please kill those who resist, and this king will see your every move. ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the converts who were crouching on the ground suddenly rose up and slew the recalcitrant ones.
Due to the sheer disparity in numbers, there was hardly any suspense in the battle.
In just a quarter of an hour, all the recalcitrant ones were slaughtered, leaving thousands of corpses in the clearing.
And those who were converted were lined up in an orderly line, and there were as many as 60,000 people.
Yi Jiuxiao did not fly in the air again, but floated down and landed at the forefront of the team. Facing the people in front of him, and the team that stretched for more than ten miles.
He said: "My Great Wei State has been inherited for thousands of years, and has never experienced such turmoil, and now the traitors are in charge, causing chaos and colluding with foreign enemies, but fortunately, the sky will not destroy my Wei State, you are willing to return to Gyeongju with this king to kill and destroy the rebels." ”
"Kill back to Gyeongju and destroy the thieves. The voice echoed through the procession for miles.
After the voices gradually subsided, Yi Jiuxiao spoke: "Please ask the commanders of each formation to come out and meet." ”
Yi Jiuxiao's voice was spread and amplified in the ranks, and in about a quarter of an hour, dozens of commanders knelt in front of Yi Jiuxiao and listened to his instructions.
Seeing this situation, Yi Jiuxiao said: "Commanders, please take up, all the past things, from today onwards, you are all the king's people, are you willing to follow this king?"
"We do". Dozens of voices rang out below.
Since the prince said that he was not to blame for the past, how dare these people snub it.
They could see clearly the means of the crown prince in the air just now, and with one against two, the two Jindan were quickly destroyed in the early stage.
"Very good, then please settle your own formation, camp here, protect the grain and grass and baggage, and wait for the arrival of my mother's army. ”
After saying that, Yi Jiuxiao flew into the air, and then used the Pengxiang technique, and quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
In less than an hour, Yi Jiuxiao flew back to the place where Empress Lirong was garrisoned, and after falling from the sky, he walked directly to the central camp.
Not long after, Li Rong and Li Rui both walked into the camp tent, and Li Rong hurriedly asked, "Prince, how is the battle ahead?"
"Queen Mother, the battle ahead has subsided, the two Jin Dan in the Fengjia army have been killed by me, and the 100,000-strong army has returned to 60,000, and now they are camped in place, waiting for our dispatch. ”
Li Rong was overjoyed, he didn't expect Yi Jiuxiao to solve the problem of 100,000 troops in less than three hours, he was really a rare genius.
If he is made the emperor of Wei in the future, he will definitely be able to dominate one side.
"Prince, you have done a good job! We immediately set up camp and went to join the army. ”
At the sound of an order, the 15,000-strong forbidden army marched quickly and headed south.
Six hours later, the two teams met, and the 60,000-strong men and horses were camped in the same place, without the slightest sign of commotion.
Yi Jiuxiao reappeared, and all the commanders in the general were summoned and gathered together to discuss the matter.
The deliberations were presided over by Empress Li Rong, who presided over the government for many years and had a kind of majesty that reigned over the world.
In the face of the commanders present, an order was issued in public: "Commanders, the feudal family confuses the government and colludes with foreign enemies, and the main forces have been wiped out by the imperial army, but the remnants are still entrenched in Gyeongju City. From today, we will return to Gyeongju and reorganize the dynasty. I hope that all of you can work together, and all those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded in the future. ”
After speaking, Li Rong glanced at the people in the field, and then said: "From today onwards, the palace will no longer participate in the affairs of the army, and the prince will be the general and command the whole army, and Li Rui, the head of the household department, will be the deputy general to assist the prince in quelling the rebellion, do you have any objections?"
"Nope. Seventy-eight commanders expressed their positions one after another, and there were no objections.
The crown prince became a general, which was also a matter of course, and it was normal for the commanders to have no objections.
It's just that Yi Jiuxiao, the prince, is a fake prince, and the Feng family's army didn't know whether the prince was true or not.
But many people in the forbidden army saw the prince being killed with their own eyes, and they didn't react for some reason, it seems that Li Rong and Li Rui still used some means.
After this discussion, Yi Jiuxiao's position in the Wei army was completely established and he was pushed to the forefront.
Li Rong himself went behind the scenes to achieve Yi Jiuxiao's exploits.
But Yi Jiuxiao didn't feel happy, on the contrary, he was a little uncomfortable.
Because he didn't want to be this prince in his heart, pretending to be the prince was just an expedient measure, and now he is getting deeper and deeper, and he can only take one step at a time.
There was nothing to do that day, and on the second day, the army officially set off and headed for Gyeongju.
Three days later, the team left Hezhou and entered Xiangzhou in Wei.
Xiangzhou was originally the queen's sphere of influence, and later the Feng family broke through Xiangzhou City.
Shen Yue, the former Xiangzhou Taishou, fled with some of the defenders, and the current Xiangzhou Taishou is named Ding Yan, who is a member of the Feng family.
After the team walked 500 miles in Xiangzhou, Shen Yue, the former Taishou of Xiangzhou, led more than 10,000 people to come to Xiangzhou, and the team grew to more than 100,000 people again.
Shen Yue was a master in the early stage of Jindan, loyal to the Li family, and he was helpless to flee at that time, Li Rong and Li Rui did not blame him, and now his return is also very timely.
The 100,000 army, led by the four Jindan masters, rushed straight to Xiangzhou City.
After arriving at Xiangzhou City, he found that the city gate was wide open, and all the defenders in the city fled without a fight under the leadership of Taishou Ding Yan.
Yi Jiuxiao did not drive the army into the city, and the army of 100,000 people would definitely disturb the people after entering the city.
He carried out a major reorganization of 100,000 horses outside the city of Hezhou, excluding the forbidden army.
In all the formations, all the sergeants below the fifth level of qi refining were singled out, and a total of 50,000 people were selected.
Then fifty commanders were selected and handed over to Shen Yue together, as the city defenders, let them be brought into Xiangzhou City, and continue to serve as the Taishou of Xiangzhou.
Generally, only 20,000 city defenders in each state city are enough, why give Shen Yue 50,000 people.
Because Yi Jiuxiao wants elite soldiers, the team of 100,000 people looks huge, but it has no combat effectiveness.
Moreover, there were too many people, more food, grass and baggage, and the march was also very slow.
Not all of these 50,000 sergeants were given to Xiangzhou City, and Xiangzhou City could not afford to raise so many sergeants.
Just let Shen Yue settle down in Xiangzhou City first, and then divide half of the men and horses to Shizhou.
Chang Yang went to Shizhou to be the Taishou, and only brought 2,000 forbidden troops, and now he uses these city defenders to replace the forbidden army back.
The remaining 50,000 people continued to ban the army to Gyeongju, and 15,000 of these 50,000 people were originally forbidden troops, and the rest were also elite generals.
Yi Jiuxiao reorganized all the personnel to prevent the formation of factions and affect the execution of orders.
After the reorganization, the morale of the formation was obviously much higher, and the speed of the march was also greatly improved.
There was no fighting along the way, and twenty days later, the army led by Yi Jiuxiao appeared outside Gyeongju City.
The gates of Gyeongju City were closed on all sides, and more than 50,000 people of the Feng family led by Feng Qiushui were entrenched in the city.
The battle ahead had already reached Feng Qiushui's ears, including the death of two elder brothers.
As soon as Feng Xishan and Feng Xihai died, the Feng family was gone, but Feng Qiushui was unwilling.
Like Li Rong, she has worked hard for her son for thirty years, how can she give up easily.
Moreover, his two brothers and clansmen died at the hands of the Li family, how could this kind of blood feud be let go, so he was firmly determined to fight to the death with the Li family.
But the situation is stronger than people, Feng Qiushui only has 50,000 horses now, and she herself is only two Jindan masters, how can she be an enemy with Li Rong's army.
The only thing she can rely on now is Gyeongju City, which is the capital, and the walls are twenty zhang high, and if you want to break it, you must pay a huge price.
When the Feng family broke through Gyeongju City, they used more than a dozen Jindan masters, killed and wounded 40,000 soldiers, and Fan Tao as the internal response to break through Gyeongju City.
This is also related to Li Rong's underestimation of the enemy, she relied on the strength of the forbidden army, and took the initiative to send troops out of the city to meet the enemy many times, trying to annihilate the Feng family.
If Li Rong can't hold on, unless the grain and grass are cut off, it will be difficult to break the Feng family.
The team set up camp in the northern suburbs of Gyeongju City, Yi Jiuxiao walked out of the barracks alone, looking at Gyeongju City in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
