Chapter 103: The Remnants of the Old Country and the Present
Seeing the Fenghuo Battalion slowly leaving the battlefield, Yao Ruoyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at the army opposite, and said with a smile: "Wu Xue, Chen Meng!"
"Brother Demon!" Chen Meng smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly walked over, Wu Xue snorted, and raised her little chin very arrogantly, but her feet still sped up, and she came to the front of the literary and artistic army with a smoke, and hugged Jiang Siyu who greeted her with a smile.
Glancing at a bell on Wu Xue's waist, Yao Ruoyu smiled faintly, then retracted his gaze, looked at the powerhouse of the Five Realms in front of the mysterious army, and hugged his fists and said, "Yao Ruoyu, the city lord of Xiahezhou, dare to ask the old gentleman's name?"
The powerhouse of the Five Realms in front of the mysterious army was an old man of about sixty years old, although he was old, his eyes were bright, like stars, and there were faint bursts of heat around him.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu speak, the old man smiled faintly and said, "Old decay Duan Chong." ”
After that, Duan Chong directly introduced Yao Ruoyu to the three four realms on his side, who were named Duan Li, Li Tianyang, and Li Hao.
Among them, Duan Chong and Duan Li are from the Dali relics, and Li Tianyang and Li Hao are from the Western Xia relics. Duan Chong and Li Tianyang are the patriarchs of the Dali relics and the Xixia relics respectively, and Duan Li and Li Hao are the patriarchs of the two clans.
Hezhou is located at the junction of Sichuan and Chongqing, and Yunnan and Guizhou are also not far away, when the Chinese beacon fire, the countries were destroyed, the Liao State, the Western Xia, Dali and other remnants were displaced, some integrated into the Song and Jin countries, some tried to restore the country like the White Wolf Society, and the remnants of Dali and Xixia chose to live in seclusion, then concentrated in a valley not far from Hezhou.
The reason why Hezhou has become more and more chaotic over the years is not only because of Yang Yiming's indiscriminate governance and the frequent attacks of the Jin State, but also because of the chaos of countless remnants from various countries within a radius of thousands of miles.
However, although the border land has always been a three-way zone, and the people of the two countries do not need to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, but so many people gathered together, and the relics of various countries they brought with them naturally attracted the covetousness of the surrounding cities, so in the past few years, they have been constantly harassed by all kinds of people, if it were not for the strong people of the two countries, I am afraid that they would have been exterminated long ago and robbed of those treasures.
These things are not secret, and this valley is not far from Hezhou City, so Yao Ruoyu already knew about it as early as when Chongqing Mansion and Chu Zheng inquired about Hezhou City, and secretly wrote it down in his heart at that time.
And after occupying Hezhou City, considering that the population in the city was not extremely large, and the number of cultivators was too large, Yao Ruoyu hit the idea on these two remnants, and had already asked Wu Liang to send people to secretly spy on the situation of the two remnants.
After Shaxi repelled Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan, Yao Ruoyu discussed with Xu Xuanrong about contacting the two remnants, and planned to use these two relics as hole cards to defeat the attack of the Fenghuo camp.
The reason why the relics of Dali and the remnants of Xixia settled in that valley was to recuperate and live in peace, but they were constantly harassed by the nearby cities, and they had long been unbearable.
After considering this, Yao Ruoyu invited the two clans to settle in Hezhou City, hoping to ally with the two clans.
To be honest, Yao Ruoyu was not too confident in this contact, after all, they didn't really occupy Hezhou City now, but when discussing with Xu Xuanrong, Yao Ruoyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of Wu Xue inexplicably.
When he heard that Yao Ruoyu actually recommended Wu Xue as a candidate to invite him, Rao is a calm person like Xu Xuanrong was also a little uneasy, although it was not polite to call the senior sister like this, but Xu Xuanrong really couldn't see that this senior sister who only knew how to eat snacks all day long had any ability to complete this invitation.
However, I don't know why, Yao Ruoyu's instinct has been strongly telling him that Wu Xue is definitely the best candidate for the people invited this time, so he persevered, and in the end, Xu Xuanrong had no choice but to agree.
However, Xu Xuanrong, who has always had no last resort, looked away for the first time.
Before Wu Xue and Chen Meng left, Xu Xuanrong specially handed her a bell, which was a pair of bells with Xu Xuanrong's own bell, named "Acacia", which was originally invented for long-distance couples.
Whenever a couple misses each other, they can shake the bell, and at the same time, the spiritual magic in the bell will be activated, and the other bell will also shake after sensing it, which is equivalent to transmitting lovesickness.
After handing over the bell to Wu Xue, Xu Xuanrong told her to shake the bell once the plan was successful, and if it failed, shake it twice, and if it was successful, when the reinforcements were not far from Hezhou City, shake the bell again to let herself know.
Therefore, a few days after Wu Xue and Chen Meng left, when Xu Xuanrong's bell shook for the first time, this cute Meng Da was already so surprised that he really became Meng Mengda, a cute cute.
After a few simple polite words with Duan Li and the others, Yao Ruoyu entered Diaoyu City with them, of course, the thousands of remnants naturally stayed outside the city.
When they came to the city, Yao Ruoyu and the others saw that the city gate was full of messes, and there were corpses of soldiers from the Fenghuo Camp and the Luojia Camp everywhere, but fortunately, neither side implicated the people in the war, so the nearby people's residences were not affected.
At this time, Luo Cheng had already brought several cronies to the city gate to welcome Yao Ruoyu and others into the city.
Seeing Luo Jiaying's heavy losses this time, Luo He's face was obviously ugly, especially after seeing the injuries on Luo Cheng's body, he couldn't help but snort angrily, but probably because Duan Li and the others were still there, so he didn't have a seizure.
Yao Ruoyu also glanced at Xu Xuanrong with some reproach, she wanted to force Chu Zheng to attack Diaoyu City, there was no big problem in this, but how should she tell herself and others, if her side had been prepared, how could the Luo family camp not be so miserable, it is no exaggeration to say that of the two thousand Luo family camp soldiers, only about a thousand people survived this time.
After coming to the city lord's mansion, after the maid served tea and snacks, Yao Ruoyu retreated, and only he, Xu Xuanrong, Luo He, Bai Qiuyu, Duan Li, Li Hao, Duan Chong, Li Tianyang and others were left in the council hall, Yang Renjie, Luo Cheng, Wu Xue and others all took soldiers to the city to pacify the people and clean up the battlefield.
After calming down, Yao Ruoyu clasped his fists at Li Huo and Duan Li, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to help." ”
"City Lord Yao is polite," Duan Li smiled faintly and saluted back, "The City Lord Messenger's words are sincere, and the conditions are extremely favorable, since we have decided to form an alliance with Hezhou, we naturally need to pay something." ”
Li Huo looked indifferent, and chuckled: "Just now the city lord said that he would not mention the details of the alliance outside the city, but now that the Song army has retreated, I will wait until I get to the city lord's mansion again, so I must be able to talk about it in detail, right?"
Seeing Li Huo's expression, Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, then resumed his smile and said, "Naturally." ”
When entering the city, Wu Xue had already told Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong the conditions she had promised to the remnants of the two clans, so Yao Ruoyu groaned slightly, and then said: "After the Song Dynasty recognizes my position as the city lord, Yao will form a cabinet of Hezhou City, and there will be six cabinet ministers in it, and then the Dali and Xixia clans will each have one place." ”
Before Duan Li could speak, Li Huo had already sneered, "One is a little less, right?"
Raising his head, Li Huo chuckled and said: "There are many strong generals in my two clans, and the number of troops and strategists is far superior to that of Your Excellency, so only two places are too few, and I think four is slightly more appropriate." ”
Even though he was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Xuanrong's concealment of the layout, Luo He was also Yao Ruoyu's subordinate, and when he saw Li Huo being so rude, he couldn't help but sneer: "Four, Your Excellency is not afraid of eating too much, is it enough?"
Li Tianyang, the elder of the Xixia Relic Clan, who was sitting behind Li Huo, suddenly snorted coldly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Insult the patriarch, slap your mouth!" Before the words fell, a strong spiritual power fluctuation suddenly surged around his body, and immediately saw a flame palm condensed out of thin air and fanned towards Luo He's cheek.
His face sank, Luo He directly swung his fist, and the true qi in his body broke out along the fist, turning into a hammer shape and slamming into the palm of the flame.
However, what made Luo He suddenly change color was that the power of the flame palm was extremely terrifying, and he burned out his true qi in an instant, and then continued to face him.
Just when Luo He wanted to get up to deal with it, a sword light suddenly stabbed in the air, directly slashing in the middle of the palm, and in an instant, the endless destruction sword intent overflowed, directly destroying the fire spirit energy in the palm of the hand.
Slowly retracting the Wind Sweeping Sword, Yao Ruoyu looked at Li Huo with a solemn face, and said coldly: "This is my City Lord's Mansion, not the valley of the Western Xia clan, and I also ask Elder Li to respect himself." ”
Glancing at the sword intent that was still lingering around Yao Ruoyu's body with some fear, Li Tianyang silently put away the spiritual power around him, and said calmly: "Since City Lord Yao said so, then Li will let this person go first." ”
