The center of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River - Kuizhou.

This is now the capital of the King of Liao, at this moment the battle flags are standing on the city of Kuizhou, and the King of Liao, who has ascended the throne as the emperor, stands at the head of the city and looks at the south from afar.

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, and the wind is blowing in the city, so beware of catching a cold."

Tang Huaixin put on a big coat for the King of Liao and said quietly.

The King of Liao came back to his senses and asked, "Have the envoys of the King of Wuling already returned?" ”

Tang Huaixin nodded and said, "This group of envoys has gone back, but I heard that the next batch of envoys is already on the way." ”

"Humph!"

King Liao snorted coldly and said: "Tell them that they don't have to work in vain, I am the son of the first emperor, the emperor of the Great Wei, I can die on the battlefield, but I will never give the inheritance of my ancestors to others!" ”

Tang Huaixin said: "The envoy said that King Wuling is the elite of the whole country this time, vowing to unify the world in one fell swoop, there are more than 500,000 troops in this East Route Army alone, and the soldiers have reached the foot of Liuqing Mountain, and several important passes of ours have been taken down because of the emptiness of troops."

King Wuling threatened to give us only ten days, these ten days he will send three waves of envoys to persuade His Majesty to surrender, when the time comes, if Your Majesty still does not agree to surrender to the Southern Dynasty, he will wave his army to the north and come to fetch it in person! ”

"Don't be ashamed!"

King Liao sneered: "I still have 250,000 troops in my hands, and 135 fortified cities in the six southeastern provinces, how can he take it when King Wuling says to take it?" ”

"But ......"

Tang Huaixin wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

King Liao frowned: "What do the people in the north say?" ”

Tang Huaixin said: "The commander sent by the puppet emperor to conquer us this time is Sima Shang, the former commander of the forbidden army, who was originally a tiger general cultivated by Prince Bao, and his strength was not below Yang Weiyuan and Liu Yi back then.

After the ministers learned of the dispatch of troops by King Wuling, they immediately contacted him, but before he could reply to us, he received a holy decree from the puppet emperor, urging him three times a day to force him to start a decisive battle with us. ”

"So there is no way to transfer the troops of the northern front back as soon as possible?"

King Liao asked with a frown.

Tang Huaixin nodded bitterly: "I'm afraid yes, this time we not only have to face the 500,000 army of King Wuling alone, but also resist the puppet emperor's army in the north at the same time, let's ...... Alas......"

"Bastard!"

When the King of Liao heard this, he was immediately furious, smashed his fist on the city wall, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if the fourth child is not afraid of forcing me to surrender, isn't he afraid to put the main force in the southeast, so that the old nine in the southwest can take advantage of it?" He doesn't take the inheritance of his ancestors seriously?! ”

Tang Huaixin was silent.

King Liao took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "I finally realized my father's original state of mind.

But now it seems that the country is in danger, as if a mountain is overwhelming, how calm and majestic my father was at the beginning. ”

Listening to the emotion of the King of Liao, Tang Huaixin hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today, I want to hurry up and urge Du Ge Lao, who is far away in the northwest, so that he can ask for Xu Rui's rescue as soon as possible. ”

King Liao shook his head: "With my understanding of Xu Rui, he will never sit idly by and watch this matter, but we can't pin all our hopes on others."

That is the King of Wuling, even if Xu Rui ignores his past suspicions, regardless of the situation, and leads the army to pour out, he may not necessarily be able to defeat the opponent.

What's more, it's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God, if you are defeated, there will naturally be nothing, but if you win, I, the emperor, am afraid that I will face the threat of Xu Rui again, and both sides are in crisis. ”

"But that's our only hope!"

Tang Huaixin persuaded.

King Liao sighed and said: "Aiqing, don't worry, I am not the kind of stubborn person, as long as I can keep the ancestral inheritance, even if I really want to cede the northwest to Xu Rui, I will not blink an eye."

But again, we can't pin all our hopes on others.

I went to give an order to Long Yun, who was fighting on the northern front, telling him that the first emperor had Xu Rui and I had him, and I would now hand over all the military power to him, let him fully preside over all the battles, and be sure to defeat the puppet emperor's army within fifteen days, and then wave his army to fight a decisive battle with King Wuling.

Until then, I will personally ascend to the top of the city to supervise the battle, try to keep the capital intact, and buy him enough time and space to fight the King of Wuling! ”

"Your Majesty, no!"

Tang Huaixin's face changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "Our main forces are on the northern front, the capital is really empty, and the city is too dangerous, you can't go!" ”

King Liao shook his head: "I don't have a soft-boned emperor in Great Wei, since I am the Son of Heaven, then this first gate of the country will be guarded by me!" ”

As he spoke, King Liao pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed in the direction of Liuqing Mountain.

Four hundred miles away, a large army was rushing south, and the commander of the Chinese army was the young general Long Yun.

"Dashuai, you are really clever, you will play Sima Shang's army in a single move, they still think that we are waiting for an opportunity to fight with it, but they don't know that we have already quietly returned to the division and killed to the south!"

Beside Long Yun, a henchman laughed and praised Long Yun excitedly.

Long Yun shook his head expressionlessly and said: "Sima Shang is a character, he hasn't let us take advantage of it for so long, this time it's not that he fell for Ben Shuai's plan, but because of the existence of King Wuling, he has a tacit understanding with Ben Shuai." ”

"Tacit understanding?"

The henchman was stunned.

Long Yun said again: "Sima Shang deliberately fell into the trick and led the army to rotate on the spot, he did it for the puppet emperor to see, in order to let us go south to resist the army of King Wuling." ”

"Huh?"

The henchman wondered: "Isn't he doing this to resist the decree?" What's in it for him? ”

Long Yun sneered: "Outside, the monarch's order is not affected, he Sima Shang has a family and a country in his eyes, and he will not watch King Wuling go north in a big way." ”

The henchman scratched his scalp, as if he still didn't understand.

Long Yun didn't have the heart to explain, and said lightly: "Tell the army to continue to speed up, let's spend the night in Lu'an tonight, we must enter the Liuqing Mountain Pass within ten days, blocking the enemy army on the line of Liuqing Mountain is the only chance of our army's victory, if you miss it, then Dawei will die!" ”

"Yes!"

When the henchman heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly whipped his horsewhip and gave the order.

On the other side of Liuqingshan, Zhong Qingyuan was leading the army to say goodbye to Lu Dongqing.

"Brother Xian is good, Brother Fool is waiting for Brother Xian to triumph in the army!"

Lu Dongqing hugged his fist at Zhong Qingyuan.

Zhong Qingyuan also hugged Lu Dongqing and said: "Brother, don't worry, with Tong Shuai's assistance in this battle, there will be no reason to fail, let's see you in Kuizhou City in ten days!" ”

Lu Dongqing remembered the extra sharp weapons in Tong Yang's Silent Annihilation Army recently, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is natural, ten days later, the foolish brother will follow the prince to Kuizhou to join the virtuous brother."

This time, the prince personally went out, and he would not leave the Northern Dynasty a chance to do so, maybe in three months, we would be able to drink and celebrate in the Northern Dynasty Palace. ”

"By the words of my brother, my younger brother is one step ahead!"

Zhong Qingyuan arched his hand towards Lu Dongqing again, and then pulled the reins of the horse, and the mighty Black Flag Army suddenly rushed forward like a torrent of steel.

Lu Dongqing rode on his horse, quietly watched the army disappear from his eyes, and said to himself: "The unification of the world, the prosperity that has never been seen since the Han Dynasty, is this historic moment finally coming?" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly shook his head and muttered to himself: "Hmph, Lord Wang, what you could have done ten years ago, why do you have to put it off until today?" ”
