Chapter Seventy-One—The Intensification of Contradictions (I)

Bu Luan sighed leisurely, how could she be willing to accept this result? In any case, Gongsun Yu has been doing her best since they were ready to raise troops and now she has made great contributions to the establishment of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden, and she also trusts Gongsun Yu a lot, and regards him as the most relied on confidant in addition to her sister Bu Yuehan, and Bu Yuehan is not skilled enough in managing the army and governing the emperor, so Bu Luan naturally handed over the power of supervision and monitoring to Gongsun Yu.

If there is something that Bu Yuehan doesn't understand very well, after all, she is really not very good at controlling the army, Gongsun Yu took the opportunity to help her quietly and secretly replaced all the officials above the rank of captain, and arranged his henchmen in important positions, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling most of the army of the white-clothed celestial girl's forces. This matter was also secretly told to Bu Luan by the generals who were later expelled from the decision-making circle but were loyal to Bu Luan, but out of a rat trap, Bu Luan did not tell Bu Yuehan about these things, for fear that Bu Yuehan, who knew the truth, would make any drastic moves, after all, now the actual strength of the two sisters in the white-clothed Tiannu force is not as good as Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Yu has mastered most of the army by replacing the generals, and although the prestige of the two sisters is high, Gongsun Yu will always have a way to deal with this matter.

Qi Kou Luan was reluctant to expand the matter, of course, because he was worried about whether he could match it, but the most important thing was that the army in their hands was already insufficient, and it was no longer very realistic to fight against Gongsun Yu without the support of external forces. Instead, Gongsun Yu secretly contacted the Holy Emperor, who twice sent envoys to meet with Bu Luan and told her that he would personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack her and the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden under his command. Desperate, Bu Luan thought of uniting the Qi State, and Li Dan, the prime minister of the Qi State at the time, also felt that this was a rare opportunity to use the internal strife within the feudal state to strive for the greatest interests of the Qi State. Therefore, he agreed to send troops to help Bu Luan fight against the Holy Emperor and the Feng War Society.

Later, with the invasion of the Dark Legion, the Holy Emperor became a general under the command of the Dark Evil God, and the Fengzhan Society and the feudal kingdom under the control of the Holy Emperor became subordinates of the Dark Legion. The original plan also went bankrupt, and most of the army of the Sealed War Society was transferred by the Dark Evil God to attack the Huicheng, unable to help Gongsun Yu. On the contrary, as the 100,000 troops left the country moved south, Kong Hong, the leader of the southern spirit of the country wing, led the 30,000 elite troops who left the country south to reach an alliance with them, and the arrival of this army made the originally delicate balance less balanced.

The army led by Kong Hong is in favor of orthodoxy, that is, it clearly expresses its support for Bu Luan and Bu Yuehan, which has dealt a heavy blow to the plan that he had planned to use the deterrence of the dark army to openly break with the two sisters, and he can only secretly continue to maintain influence over the army.

With the army of the white-clothed celestial maiden cooperating with the departing army to the south to regain the lost territory, Sun Yu, the prince of Shengcheng, finally found a very good opportunity, he contacted Xin Pei, the governor of Shengcheng, and after getting the approval of the Holy Emperor, they began to contact each other to carry out the plan. Originally, the plan he set up should be quite perfect, but he didn't expect that Kong Hong and Bu Luan would see the flaws halfway through, and set up a method and decision to deal with him. And the most important part of this decision is that she must recapture the white-clothed celestial girl belonging to their two sisters, otherwise all this will be variable, and to regain the white-clothed celestial maiden, it is necessary for the two of them to expose Gongsun Yu's conspiracy and regain the support of most of the low-level soldiers in the white-clothed celestial girl's forces, otherwise these will be empty talk. Kong Hong also understood this, so she did not take the initiative to deal with Gongsun Yu, but handed over the final decision to Bu Luan.

Thinking of this, Bu Luan said to his sister earnestly: "Han'er, I know that you don't know much about controlling the army, so you will be used by Gongsun Yu, I actually want to believe him, but in fact he is indeed I looked away, thinking that he is a strong-willed person, I never thought of ......it" It was the first time that Bu Yuehan heard her eldest sister say such solemn words, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, and quietly listened to her eldest sister continue.

"What we are going to do now is extremely dangerous, I can't guarantee that we will be able to get out of it, but Han'er, we can't be tied down no matter what, our own fate must be in our own hands! We must not let others control our fate!" The words had fallen, and a karmic fire ignited around Bu Luan's body, her face became serious and even resolute, and she clenched her fists without any hesitation.

Listening to her eldest sister's words and her firm belief, Bu Yuehan nodded heavily, "What my sister said makes sense, we have worked so hard until now, no matter what, we can't let it end so easily, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we have to fight it!"

Bu Luan smiled with relief, she took away the fire witch secret art on her body, she hoped that her sister could mature as soon as possible, and then be able to take over her to master the power of the white-clothed goddess, she had not much time to come, she had to arrange everything before this, and give her sister the best possible situation. As for all the sins, all the tricks, she will bear them all alone.

"In that case, let's go alone, I want to see what he wants to do!" Bu Luan pulled his sister, and the two left the big tent of the Chinese army, quietly left the station with light skills, and went straight to the bank of the Xuanling River.

Outside Shengcheng City, after receiving Bu Luan's affirmative answer, Kong Hong began to command the army to attack Shengcheng with confidence. Her approach to attack was extremely cautious and steady, with her soldiers holding huge shields forming a phalanx and advancing steadily at the front. Their main task was to fend off the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen on the ramparts, and to cover the advance of the soldiers carrying the ladders in the rear. Due to the slow pace of the attack of the Liguo army, the rolling stones and wood prepared on the city could not play a role for the time being, and these modified cowhide shields successfully blocked almost all the arrows, which made the governor of Shengcheng Xin Pei extremely uncomfortable, and he now gradually realized that the situation seemed to be out of their control. Attacking unhurriedly, if she didn't have any suspicions, how could she be so cautious, and didn't do anything like a feint, obviously preparing to attack the city in a big way.

"General, I feel that things are a little not good, where is this a feint, it is clearly a real siege of the city with great fanfare!" Xin Pei was still hesitating, and a henchman next to him was already clenching his fists and said anxiously.

As soon as these words came out, the other three henchmen also clenched their fists and said: "General Lin is reasonable, general, this is obviously a siege tactic, and there is no idea of feints." Are we going to get in touch with General Gongsun?"

Xin Pei slammed his fist on the battlements and scolded angrily, "Gongsun Pifu, you almost missed me!"

After scolding Gongsun Yu, Xin Pei, who calmed down a little, immediately turned around and said to the four generals behind him: "There are only seven thousand troops outside the city, which is almost the same as our number. Those 3,000 heavy armored cavalry seem to be very powerful, but in fact, if we defend the city, this cavalry will not be able to play its due role, pass on my orders! Mobilize the crossbow of the Xicheng Road and the fire oil of the southern city, and order the trebuchets to prepare! After the enemy has approached 300 paces, concentrate on attacking the large shield phalanx! The crossbowmen continue to suppress, be sure to slow down their siege!"

"Yes!" the four generals behind him ordered to leave, and soon the head of Shengcheng City began to prepare for defense, and soldiers came and went carrying barrels of fire oil in wooden barrels. The 500 soldiers mobilized from Xicheng moved the bed crossbows placed on the city tower to the city tower in a group of 25 soldiers to prepare for the attack, and the trebuchets placed in the farther place also began to pull ropes and place stones in groups of three soldiers, and the strategic deployment was in full swing.

Now that the departing army was gradually advancing in a phalanx, this phalanx with a large cowhide shield had successfully attracted everyone's attention, coupled with the ladder fortifications and the main elite army that had already begun to advance behind him, it was natural for Xin Pei to mobilize the troops on the other walls to assist in the defense. At this time, the six thousand troops secretly led by the two lieutenants had gradually touched the bottom of Shengcheng, and the dozen or so patrol soldiers on the city tower were all shot by a burst of rapid crossbow arrows, and then, these six thousand troops took out the iron flying claws from their personal packages, hooked the hole in the wall of the city wall and began to climb the city wall on foot. This is also the special feature of these 6,000 troops, they are extremely strong in combat, and can use flying claws to climb the city walls, and unknowingly launch an attack on Sheng Cheng.

......

On the other side, on the edge of the embankment of the Xuanling River, a member of the Fengzhan Society, Gongsun Yu's henchman stumbled to Gongsun Yu, who was directing the digging of the embankment and preparing to attack the camp of the country. "General...... Big things are wrong...... Big things are not good......"

This voice directly interrupted Gongsun Yu's train of thought, and he turned his head in great displeasure to look at the source of this voice, but he was surprised and subconsciously took two steps back.

I saw that hundreds of soldiers from the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden forces around them bowed down to give way, and two young women standing side by side suddenly appeared in front of Gongsun Yu. "Her Royal Highness Princess....... Why are you here?"

Although he was suddenly surprised in his heart, he tried his best to hide the uneasiness and weakness in his heart, the two young women who appeared here in front of him were none other than the two princesses of the white-clothed celestial maiden forces, Princess Qingxuan Bu Luan and Princess Liuli Bu Yuehan, one of these two was wearing a red long skirt like a red lotus phoenix, and the other was wearing a black dark lotus skirt with a slender figure and a black night elf. When they suddenly appeared in front of Gongsun Yu and the other soldiers of the white-clothed celestial maiden forces, they were all stunned and did not react for a while, this is also a normal phenomenon, the arrival of these two princesses together is too dazzling, and the soldiers around them can't get out of this admiration for an incident.

Red flames burned around Bu Luan's body again, and she asked coldly, "General Gongsun, what are you doing here?"
