Chapter 157: Seven Years of Betrayal, Wu Dynasty Danger Boat (II)
South of the Holy Capital of the Holy Desolate Continent, the garrison of the Zhou Dynasty legions.
A month ago, the Zhou Dynasty's Silver Armor Legion captured the Huya Pass, which was strategically located but had been neglected for a long time, and used the Huya Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as a temporary camp for its own army in the enemy's territory.
The well-planned solid bricks formed a highly defensive wall, which had been repaired by the Silver Armor Army after their siege, and the heroic banner of the Zhou Dynasty fluttered on the high towers. It hunted with the wind, as if it was defying the military flag of the Wu Dynasty ten kilometers below the city tower.
On the tower of the city, a general wearing mighty silver armor held a broad-bladed long sword in his hand, looking at the black dragon army in the distance that had not been rediscovered for a long time, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"General Huang, what are you thinking?" At this time, the deputy general of the Silver Armor Corps walked over from the Chenglou Road and asked with concern.
Huang Qianbing, that is, Lin Jiekun's advent body in the Holy Desolate Continent, turned his head to look at his adjutant, and sighed: "It's nothing, I'm just a little emotional. How long has it been since my Great Zhou Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty west of the Emperor River have been at war? How many promising young men will sleep forever in this war?"
"This ......" The adjutant seemed to understand what Huang Qianbing meant, he half-squinted at the military camp of the Wu Dynasty in the distance, and said, "The balance is not bad, the people of the two dynasties live and work in peace and contentment, and the national strength can flourish day by day." Our Great Zhou Emperor's Son of Heaven is heroic and sage, but the Martial Emperor no longer has the ability to develop the Wu Dynasty. In the final analysis, their family is just a halfway monk with a shallow background. ”
"Really?" Huang Qianbing said thoughtfully, "If you just look at the surface, this is true. Instead of first settling the internal contradictions, they opened up two fronts. With the doubling of labor and money, the only remaining heritage of her Wu Dynasty Emperor will be quickly consumed, and she is not the opponent of our Great Zhou soldiers at all. ”
The adjutant also chimed in: "Yes, as long as the rebels in the Wu Dynasty are called 'Daywalkers', their leaders are smart enough." Both of us have used delaying tactics, and within three or four years, the Wu Dynasty will definitely be empty of national strength and the people's hearts will be in turmoil. ”
"yes. Huang Qianbing replied and did not reply.
It's just that he always had a question in his mind. Why is Emperor Wu so ignorant? Why is a flaw in the instructions that a lieutenant can see through, why would she, an extremely intelligent empress, insist on carrying it out? Why did the wise and martial Empress Mingjun a few years ago suddenly degenerate into a faint monarch before everyone had time to react? The reason behind this is simple or complex, and is there any other kind of scheming in it?
At this time, he couldn't help but sigh that he was really inferior to Chu Juan in this regard, if Xuanyuan Tai and Chu Juan, who were far away in Beijing, could point him out a sentence or two, then he would probably be able to open his mouth. But now he can only tell himself in his heart that he must not despise Martial Emperor and her every move.
Just as Huang Qianbing was immersed in the consciousness of self-blame, the adjutant next to him suddenly raised his voice and reminded him.
"General, the Black Dragon Legion has moved. ”
Huang Qianbing immediately woke up. He stared intently at the black-pressed corps that was dusty and suddenly raised in the distance, fulfilling his duties as a general, and quickly assigning tasks to his subordinates, preparing to meet the enemy.
The war in which the elite legions of the two dynasties collided with all their might began, and this battle was later known as the Battle of Huyaguan.
In this battle, the invincible Black Dragon Legion of the Wu Dynasty was defended by the Silver Wing Legion led by Huang Qianbing, the general of the Zhou Dynasty, and attacked for two days and two nights in a row, but failed to break the city and recover the lost territory, but was cut off by Huang Qianbing's tricky and resolute tactics. In the final confrontation, the leader of the Black Dragon was beheaded by Huang Qianbing in the midst of the ten thousand armies, so the Black Dragon Corps was completely defeated, and had to retreat to the Holy Capital with his tail between his legs.
The Zhou Dynasty army, which ignited morale in the First World War, did not drive straight in, but gradually encroached on the border cities of the Wu Dynasty near the Di River. After the Black Dragon Legion with a broken arm returned to the Holy Capital, Emperor Wu "deserved" to be angry, and mobilized the power of the whole country to build armor, levy war horses, and forcibly organize warriors, and launched counterattacks again and again against the Silver Wing Legion of the Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, Huang Qianbing, who carried out the obscene tactics to the end, continued to maintain the tactics of "when the enemy comes, I retreat, and when the enemy retreats, I advance", and defeated the counterattacks of the Martial Emperor again and again. The people of the entire Wu Dynasty fell into a sense of panic that the war would continue to fail.
On the other hand, Su Yiyun, the leader of the rebel army, did not waste Huang Qianbing's achievements of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", he took a roundabout approach to meet the reorganized emperor's division, and used guerrilla warfare to cooperate with the strange ability of the "Daywalker" in the daytime, and won one war after another with a huge disparity in strength. At the same time, he managed his rear very well, and the replenished troops were all ordinary people who volunteered to join the army, while the rest of the people lived a stable life, as if there was no sense of urgency of war at all.
Over time, rumors began to spread among the people in the city that was still within the palm of Emperor Wu's hand, saying that Su Yiyun was the real son of destiny, he had mysterious power, and he relied on his own strategy and the ability of the army to fight.
......
The outcome of the war is the inevitable result of various factors over the years, one, two, three...... As Su Yiyun and Huang Qianbing expected, the war situation with the Wu Dynasty has been completely reversed!
The soldiers under Emperor Wu repeatedly failed to make meritorious contributions, and the counterinsurgency and resistance to foreign countries could not be accomplished, but instead made the country into a miasma. She herself completely ruined the image of the tall and wise empress she once established in her anxiety, and became a brutal and incompetent female faint monarch. As soon as Emperor Wu was mentioned, the residents of the holy capital complained, and the courtiers sighed again and again.
The first time a common man escaped from the territory of the Wu Dynasty and entered the city of the rebel army; the first time that a righteous man in the holy capital launched an assassination of Emperor Wu; the first time that a relative of the emperor had private contact with the army of the Zhou Dynasty; the first time someone cleared Su Yiyun's name, saying that he was only forced, but he did a better job than Emperor Wu......
However, the result of these people being caught by the army or hidden guards was that Ling Chi was executed, and blood was splashed on the Nine Hidden Platforms!
Heavy taxes oppress the people, law and order are bad, the criminal law is steep and strict, there are successive defeats, and the tyrant is mediocre!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Wu Dynasty is in a vicious circle, and the Wu Emperor is constantly repeating the mistakes of the past. It was not until the fourth year of the war, the seventh year of the appearance of the Daywalkers, that the Wu Dynasty finally fell into an unprecedented crisis.
......
The Gobi with yellow sand, which was originally a green field outside the Beidou City of the Wu Dynasty, has vigorous antelopes, swift lions, and rivers that flow endlessly beside them. But now it has become the land occupied by the Silver Wing Legion, the environment has been destroyed, agriculture and animal husbandry have been completely wiped out, and the people have almost not been left.
And it is such a dead Gobi that no one will set foot on except for a small group of soldiers, but a vague figure is walking step by step in the wind and sand waves that gradually become violent. He was tightly wrapped in linen cloth all over his body, with a hat on his head, and the gauze hanging from the edge of the hat completely covered his appearance, but from the physical point of view, he could see that he was a man of about 1.8 meters.
In the wind and sand, the man's figure flickered, and when the dust returned to the loess next time, he could no longer be seen in the golden glow of the sunset sprinkled on the Gobi Desert through the yellow sky.
......
In September of the same year, the rebels captured three high-level cities surrounding the Holy Capital, and the Silver Wing Corps on the other side also launched an attack on the two high-level cities on the west side of the Wu Dynasty after a strong replenishment, and the result was a victory.
Standing on the highest peak called Zhantian, Su Yiyun looked at the long plain to the northeast with a blank face. A little further on, there is the prosperous holy capital, the holy capital that he once longed for and wanted to take the villagers of Changliu Village to see, and he spent a hundred times more effort to obtain a place in his academy and preach holy virtues here.
It's just that things are people, and no one knows about the time that has passed.
The long-flowing soul has been wandering in this cold and ethereal world for seven years, and his lonely soul of Su Hao has also been floating in this holy desolate continent for a full twelve years. Twelve years is too long, so long that Su Yiyun almost forgot that he was actually the one who came, it was Su Hao, the son of Rahu who came together with Shui Haoyue.
This year, Su Yiyun is twenty years old, which is the same age as the ontology of the present world. He sensed in his mind that it was time to put an end to it.
The Ming monarch fell into a faint monarch, and the dynasty was only a virtual shell. The holy capital is already rotten, and there are no more people to sit on the gilded dragon chair. The king of pressing the sword is he Su Yiyun. The leader of the rebel army is Su Yiyun!
And half of the people's hearts in the territory of the original Wu Dynasty belong to him, Su Yiyun!
Win or lose, before the decisive battle, he has already won!
Su Yiyun clenched his fists, his heart full of generosity to pick the fruits of victory. No one can understand his life in the past seven years, and as his henchmen, the silver fox, the violent bear, and the scholar, it is impossible for anyone to understand it. He's been planning for seven years, and now he's finally waiting for this day!
Emperor Wu had to pay for the atrocities she ordered to kill Changliu Village, and the Zhou Dynasty, which used him, would not have the slightest regret.
After three days, the hand of the sword will draw the sword of the emperor. Overthrow the Wu Dynasty, reign over the world, no one can stop it!
Su Yiyun sneered, took one last look at the plain in the distance, and turned back to the camp.
Countless tents, extinguished fires, and soldiers scattered around, the camp of the rebel vanguard here was surprisingly quiet. Because no one was idle, the soldiers were all concentrating on wiping their blades, their eyes shining on the reflective blades, and they were extremely attentive.
The world of the Holy Desolate Continent will be rewritten in their hands.
Su Yiyun glanced at them with satisfaction, and then walked towards the main tent by himself. The soldiers sitting on the ground did not get up and saluted him, only the soldiers passing by would nod to him in salute - this salute had been excused by Su Yiyun.
Walking into the main tent where there were guards standing guard on each side of the door, Su Yiyun sat on the throne of the platinum engraved wheel of fire with peace of mind, and his brows were soothed.
In peacetime, he was busy with affairs, and he had to dispatch the rebel army that had grown to 800,000 with one brain, and he also had to take care of the people in the rear. No one disturbed him for an hour at noon, and he could squint for a while at this time, or close his eyes with a sip of hot tea.
Raise your hand, take the teapot, and pour the tea. Raise the bowl and drink it all.
"Smack", he put the teacup back on the coffee table, crossed his legs, and was about to recuperate his spirits. Suddenly, a violent stimulus mixed with bitter taste rushed out of his dantian, spreading extremely quickly to all four limbs, along the blood vessels and spine, and even hitting the brain!
Su Yiyun's complexion changed drastically, and he suddenly realized that the tea might have been poisoned, and hurriedly used internal force to protect his heart. But at this time, two iron-colored afterimages flashed outside the tent, and Su Yiyun's eyesight dropped greatly when he was poisoned, and he didn't see anything clearly, and his shoulders were pierced by the afterimage.
"What...... ......He wanted to shout, but his voice was so weak that only he could hear it. He was horrified, but it was too late.
The two steps in unison spread from outside the tent to inside the tent, and Su Yiyun reluctantly separated the upper and lower eyelids that seemed to be positive and negative, and took the blurred scene in front of him into his eyes.
A man and a woman, dressed in the clothes of a guard, each holding a chain that extended to their bodies. One hated, the other looked at himself angrily.
"Su Yiyun, the leader of the rebel army, your rebellious evil deeds...... That's it!"
