Chapter 44—The Battle of Ruocheng (I)

"Is that what you said true?" Listening to the two messengers' silent descriptions and unfazed faces, the expression on He Yu's face finally changed slightly, and he tightened the black cloak on his shoulder. For He Yu, now he seems to have a little more trust in what the two messengers in front of him said, and the distrust that originally surged in his heart was gradually replaced by the major ** that captured Ruocheng. He Yu's face gradually became filled with a strong desire, and it was too big for him to capture Ruocheng. Capturing Ruocheng means that their Mingyue Heavenly Kingdom really has its own base, and it will be much easier to develop in this way.

There was a strong sense of joy in the hearts of the two messengers who were still kneeling in front of them, but the expressions on their faces did not change in the slightest. "Yes, please rest assured, general, we have a token that can prove our identity, we are indeed a member of the Mingyue Heavenly Kingdom, and now we are one step away from capturing Ruocheng, our general asked us to come back for reinforcements, and the soldiers gave us this token," said the two soldiers wearing messenger clothes, took out a token made of white jade from the cloth bag in their arms, and handed it to He Yu, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair. A red rope was tied to it, and in the middle of the token made of white jade was a black jade with the words "Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom" written on it.

He Yu took this token and looked at it to see that it was indeed the token used by the herald between their Ming clansmen, so He Yu's suspicions were gone, and his face showed a long-lost look of joy, and he was even a little too excited. "Okay, you go back immediately to report to your general, and I will immediately bring the rear army to support!

"By the way, General, General Wen Rui went to attack Huicheng with his own headquarters, I don't know if you mean?" Seeing that He Yu was now smiling, a guard behind him holding a spear and wearing gold armor asked in a low voice.

"What!" He Yu just became happy, and was drenched in cold water by this basin of cold water. "He really dares to disobey my orders, it's too late to think about it so much now, it's important to take Ruocheng! Pass my order, the whole army is ready to set off Ruocheng!" He Yu's face was solemn, and He Yu didn't care about Wen Rui's army so much. There are still about 2,000 troops he can command now, and it should not be a problem to capture Ruocheng.

He Yu assigned 300 people to garrison Donglinguan, and first sent 1,500 troops to support the army attacking Ruocheng through the avenue, and He Yu himself took the last 300 people to go to Fengguo to seek support. Now He Yu himself feels that the number of troops in their Mingyue Heavenly Kingdom is really small, and the number of troops that can be commanded in their hands is really not much, and He Yu also went to find the support of the feudal country out of helpless considerations.

Talking about the possibility of asking for help from the feudal country, the two elders under He Yu's subordinates, who were originally elders of the Ming clan, gave He Yu two different opinions. An elder dressed in white recommended that He Yu take his men to find the Fengzhan Society in Dream City, the southernmost part of the Feudal Kingdom, to help them, while another old man in a green shirt asked He Yu to go to Zhongcheng, the capital of the Feudal Kingdom, which was closer to the eastern border pass, to find the support of Guangwujun, the monarch of Feng Guo.

Among the feudal countries, it is true that the strength of the feudal war will be the strongest, whether it is from the power of the feudal war society or the influence on the entire feudal country, it is the first place in the entire feudal country. And the power of Guangwujun, the monarch of the feudal country, is not as strong as that of the feudal war, but at least in the feudal country, Guangwujun's words still have a certain prestige. However, in terms of foreign policy, the power of the feudal monarch Guangwujun is far less tough than that of the feudal war society and the sect leader of the feudal war society. At that time, Guangwujun's father, Weiyangjun, formed the Fengzhan Society, with the original intention of using the power of the Fengzhan Society to resist the Qi State that was in full swing. However, Weiyangjun probably wouldn't have thought that Qi did sign a truce contract with them, but the sealing of the war would gradually not be decided by his son. The prestige of the Sect Leader of the Feudal War Society among the feudal people is even higher than that of the feudal monarch, which is a very terrifying thing.

After years of hard work and a variety of savings talents, Guangwujun has finally accumulated a certain amount of capital to secretly fight against the Feng Zhan Society. In order to deal with the feudal war society that his father established in the first place to fight against the Qi State, and now he can't control the feudal war society that is bigger than his monarch, Guangwu Jun really invested almost all his energy in this matter. But in the final analysis, Guangwu Jun was still afraid of the unfathomable strength of the Sect Master of the Sealing War Society, and he had not yet taken real action. It also means that the feudal kingdom looks very harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there are huge hidden dangers hidden under the peaceful appearance. And the head of the Zheng family, the third largest force in the feudal country, is Guangwujun's brother-in-law, and Guangwujun has roped in the Zheng family to deal with the feudal war together.

Now Guangwujun has found such an opportunity, there is a rebellion in the Qi country, Guangwujun's spies found out that the Ming people who were originally in the territory of the Qi country gathered to revolt against the Qi country, and have occupied the border between the Qi country and the feudal country. The Sealing War Society privately sent assassins to aid Donglin Pass, and now that the power of the Sealing War Society has decreased slightly, Guangwu Jun is ready to find an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the sect leader of the Sealing War Society is not in the Loyal City of the Sealing Kingdom at this moment. So in fact, the state of Qi was attacked by a rebel army in the open land, and the feudal state that seemed to be very harmonious and stable on the surface was actually surging. Therefore, the agreement between the Feng State and the Qi State still maintained the agreement of the Xuanling River, and there was not too much frontal contact.

He Yu carefully considered the advice that these two elders of the Ming clan recommended to him, and he still felt that it was more practical to find the help of the feudal monarch. If he was asked to find the help of the Sealing War Society again, it would really make him shudder, and he was deeply afraid of facing the unfathomable strength of the Sealing War Society Sect Leader head-on.

So, He Yu took his own soldiers to set off with Donglinguan under the banner of "Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom", and was not hindered by the soldiers and checkpoints along the way. After two days of travel, Zhongcheng appeared in the sight of more than 300 of them.

Zhongcheng is indeed worthy of being the largest city in the feudal country, the distance between the city is less than seven hundred miles from the east Linguan and the Xuanling River, the mother river of the Demon Spirit Continent, the clear moat water flows around the Zhongcheng, and the four gates of the Zhongcheng are wide open to all directions, and the people who trade in the feudal country enter the largest city and bazaar of the feudal country through these four huge wooden gates to trade. The whole Zhongcheng covers an area of about 30 acres of land, which is very wide and luxurious. On the right side of Chungseong is Luansan, which is about 20 zhang high and about 10 zhang long. The whole city is divided into eighty-one markets and workshops by three small rivers that flow through each other. The Imperial Palace, which is located on the mountain range closest to Luansan Mountain in Chungseong, is surrounded by glass-like railings and archways, and the vermilion tiles and dusty cinnabar gates gradually open the most luxurious imperial city of the feudal country.

He Yu and more than 300 of his own soldiers, known as the envoys of the "Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom", rode a gorgeous royal boat from the gate of Zhongcheng all the way up the Jishui flowing horizontally in Zhongcheng to the imperial city in Zhongcheng to meet the Emperor Guangwujun of Feng Guoguo. This royal boat on which He Yu and his more than 300 people were riding was carved with nine golden dragon heads, the carving process was very perfect, the golden dragon was lifelike, and the boat as a whole was flowing water. The speed of the boat is very fast. In the blink of an eye, He Yu and his more than 300 personal soldiers had already seen the closed golden gate outside the imperial city.

"I really didn't expect this city to be as prosperous as Xuancheng" Among the more than 300 personal soldiers under He Yu, there were several people who had been to the capital of Qi, and when they took the royal Nine Dragons boat against the current, those soldiers couldn't help but sigh.

He Yu closed his eyes slightly, but his heart had already flown to Xuancheng in the north of the Qi State with the sighs of these soldiers. Only when they really captured it and captured the emperor of Qi and showed him to the public can they really avenge their Ming people for blood revenge, and it can be regarded as the real establishment of the Mingyue Heavenly Kingdom. So in He Yu's conception, Xuancheng, which is so similar to this loyal city, is the place he has always really wanted to set foot in.

At the end of Jishui is the gate of the palace of Zhongcheng, at this moment, for He Yu and they grew up in the mountains and forests and lived in the east of Linguan since they were children, the prosperity of the city is really a little unexpected for them. A few soldiers couldn't even help but shout, beckoning the people on the side of the road to point fingers at them and say these things.

Not long after, more than 300 of them appeared at the gate of the Imperial City of Zhongcheng, and for them, this Imperial City brought them a completely different feeling. After they got off the boat, they were led by two royal guards with golden swords, wearing gold armor and golden helmets, to the gate of the palace in Chungseong, where three royal soldiers who were also wearing gold armor opened the huge palace gate made of rosewood for them, and after entering the palace, they could have a panoramic view of the prosperous scene in the palace.

After passing through the gate, guarded by three heavily armed guards, He Yu and his own soldiers were ushered into the palace by a eunuch dressed as a eunuch. Along the way, because of the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, the palace maids who carried lanterns to lead the way and the eunuchs who waved their sleeves to pass the edict were all respectful to them.

He Yu and the others were introduced by a eunuch to the largest palace in the imperial city, and the top of this palace was hung on this splendid palace with cinnabar handwriting and gold plaques, and three big characters were written on it: "Liuyun Palace".
