Chapter 752: Years of bitterness and self-drinking

The battle of Huangyang Mountain has finally come to an end.

A total of 1.3 million troops of the Yuan Dynasty were wiped out, including Kublai Khan, Ali Buge, Atu, Boyan, HΓΌlegΓΌ, Jebe, and Yelu Chucai.

However, Ding Yanzhi, Jin Sansheng, Ji Long, Meng Tuzhi, Yang Lulu, and Wanyan Tiefeng were six of the Seven Realms, and more than a dozen of the Six Realms survived.

Among them, Ding Yanzhi and Jin Sansheng were the first to escape, Yang Lulu also left in time with Luo Weikun, Guo Jiahui and others, and the rest were taken down by Yao Ruoyu.

Although the loss of troops on the Song Dynasty's side was not as good as that of the Yuan Dynasty, it had plummeted from 500,000 at the time of departure to about 130,000 now, and even the five realm generals of the two major armies of Wumu and Yanggu had fallen by nearly 100.

Fortunately, no one in the Seven Realms fell, but Zong Ze, Yue Yun, Wang Yaoda and others were all seriously injured, and it would take at least a few months to recover.

However, what shocked everyone was that Zhang Ziqiang actually killed too many strong people in one breath this time, and realized the existence of the Heavenly Dao, which made his realm climb step by step, and he actually stepped directly into the Eight Realms with half a foot.

But with his current body like a *library surrounded by flames, he will be really angry at every turn, if he breaks through the Eight Realms in this crazy demon state, he will definitely be dead or alive.

Fortunately, Zhuge Zheng's "Mixed Yuan One Qigong" practiced by me was gentle, and after he captured Zhang Ziqiang, he used the Eight Realms Divine Thoughts to help him temporarily ease the vision in his body, and then Zhang Ziqiang himself would repair the crumbling martial arts foundation little by little in the future.

As for the literary and artistic army, it is considered to have the least casualties, with seventy or eighty thousand people surviving, and this is thanks to Xu Xuanrong's constant protection with the Chaos Bell and Taiji Diagram, otherwise I am afraid that the number of casualties will be even greater.

Nearly 1.5 million people died tragically, and almost all of the huge Huangyang Mountain was dyed bright red, and even the sea of clouds at dusk in the sky turned into burning clouds, full of scarlet.

Among the group of people who were captured, Wanyan Tiefeng could be called the second person to enter the palace, and he had just been escorted into the tent, and he had already decisively knelt down and begged for mercy.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a spineless Seven Realms, and they were even more disgusted while laughing, and Chu Madge imprisoned his soul and decided to wait until he returned to Hangdu to discuss the disposal plan.

There were not many survivors of the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to those who escaped, and Wanyan Tiefeng were captured together with Ji Long, Meng Tuzhi, Wei Zhiya, Wanyan Caihong and other seven people, among which Zhenjin and other three members of the royal family were directly beheaded by Chu Yangge, and they had no intention of surrendering at all.

Now, although the Yuan Dynasty has killed 1.5 million people in the battle of Huangyang Mountain, there are still nearly 50,000 Kipchak troops in the national capital Yanjing, but their seven realms are dead, and these 50,000 Kipchak troops alone cannot stop the Song-Wen coalition army.

Because the casualties in this battle were too heavy and the morale was low, after discussion, everyone decided to settle in the nearby city first, recuperate for seven days and then attack Yanjing.

*β€”β€”*β€”β€”*β€”β€”*

As soon as he came back from the Song army camp, Yao Ruoyu saw Song Kai, Xu Xuanrong, and Cai Xudong standing at the gate of the camp, as if waiting for him together.

"What's wrong?" Seeing their solemn expressions, Yao Ruoyu wondered.

For some reason, Xu Xuanrong seemed to relax a little, and Song Kai said in a low voice: "Go back first." ”

Seeing that a few of them were playing tricks, Yao Ruoyu was confused, but he didn't ask much, followed the three of them into the camp and returned to his handsome tent.

As soon as he walked into the handsome tent, Yao Ruoyu looked up and saw Long Cheng standing alone inside, and immediately overjoyed: "Long Cheng!"

"Brother Yao!" Seeing Yao Ruoyu and the others returning, Long Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Brother Ding asked me to tell you that Nanban will attack the Liangzhou fortress in two days at most, and then you can use this as an excuse to return to Sichuan and Chongqing first." ”

To be honest, with the end of the battle of Huangyang Mountain, the relationship between Song and Wen has gradually become delicate.

The 500,000 troops of the Song army went north to attack the Yuan Dynasty only had more than 100,000 people, and Wen Bang although the number was even less than 70,000 or 80,000 people, but in comparison, the combat strength of the two sides was not at a level, it can be said that the Song Dynasty that had not yet recovered its vitality and resolutely sent troops to attack the Yuan Dynasty, after this battle, the national strength was greatly reduced, and under the ups and downs, Wen Bang already had the ability to threaten the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, when discussing matters in the Song army camp today, Yao Ruoyu was always careful, for fear that Chu Yangge and Yue Pengju would find some excuse to leave him there.

Unexpectedly, Ding Yanzhi was ready to even have an excuse for how the literary and artistic army could withdraw smoothly, and Yao Ruoyu felt more and more emotionally that the other party had no last resort.

It's just that the next moment, Yao Ruoyu just frowned and said, "What about Ding Shaoren?"

Shaking his head, Long Cheng smiled bitterly: "I don't know, but I think Brother Ding should want to go into hiding." It was only on the eve of the Battle of Huangyang Mountain that he learned the reason why Ding Yanzhi had clinged to Dayuan over the years.

"Retreat?" Yao Ruoyu's expression was slightly gloomy, and he snorted angrily, "Where is it so easy?"

Long Cheng thought that Yao Ruoyu was still blaming Ding Yanzhi, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Yao, Brother Ding, he ......"

Waving his hand, Yao Ruoyu sneered: "He has been hiding from us for so long, if you want to pat your ass and leave, if you want to be beautiful, I'll take him back." ”

Without waiting for Long Cheng to continue to persuade, Yao Ruoyu had already nodded towards Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, and Cai Xudong, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Although he didn't know that his Zhenxian Sword was originally a Killing Immortal Sword, after several battles with the Zhuxian Sword Array, Yao Ruoyu also knew to some extent that his natal sword could sense the four swords of Zhuxian.

So as soon as he stepped out of the big tent, he had already raised his hand to sacrifice the Zhenxian Sword, and his mind settled and quietly sensed for a moment, and suddenly his figure flashed, turning into thousands of shadows and dissipating in place.

At the same time, in a deserted ancient city four hundred miles north of Huangyang Mountain, Ding Yanzhi, who had changed into a pale yellow cotton suit, walked leisurely in the city, which already belonged to the northern grassland.

Although it was late at night, the city was still brightly lit, so he picked a noodle restaurant that had not yet closed, sat down by the window, ordered a bowl of scallion oil noodles, and then looked at the lively street market outside the window with half-squinted eyes and a smile.

With a snap, the bench opposite Ding Yanzhi was pulled out, and then a person sat down, he subconsciously glanced at it, his eyes were suddenly condensed, and then he showed a little wry smile, and sighed: "I actually forgot." ”

"It's better to forget, or I won't know where to catch you. ”

Yao Ruoyu, who was glaring at him and was dressed in a black brocade robe, raised his hand and called a man, and also ordered a bowl of noodles for himself.

Quietly watching him finish these things, Ding Yanzhi said slowly: "Now that the Yuan Dynasty has fallen, the Song Dynasty has become dominant in China, but due to the serious loss of troops, your Dawen is not completely powerless to resist, so the Song Dynasty will be a little jealous, but you don't have the Eight Realms This is a defect after all, so they can endure for three years at most, and there will definitely be tentative moves, and you will ...... then."

slapped on the table, Yao Ruoyu's eyes were cold: "Do you think Lao Tzu is here to listen to your guidance?"

Ding Yanzhi didn't hear it, pursed his lips, and showed a wry smile: "Do you think it makes sense for me to go back?"

"Why not?" Yao Ruoyu leaned forward slightly, word by word, and said solemnly, "We are a family." ”

His eyes lit up slightly, and then dimmed, Ding Yanzhi sighed: "But I hurt Li Yilin." ”

Taking a deep breath, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice: "This is what I don't understand, if you really want to conform to history, then there is no problem for you to do this, but since you are just trying to deceive that Zhu Chongjiu, why do you want to kill Xunhuan?"

"Soon after I crossed back then, I got the inheritance of the Legalist Han Feizi's lineage, and then I met Zhu Chongjiu by chance, knowing that he was the future Ming Taizu, I did have the idea of following him to help the dragon, but I didn't expect him to find out that my plan was unparalleled, and he imprisoned my soul with a secret method, forced me to obey him, and caused trouble for him. ”

Shaking his head, Ding Yanzhi sneered proudly: "If he didn't draw a snake to add to his feet, I would have followed him sincerely, but this person is so vicious, how can I follow him loyally, but because my soul is controlled by him, I have to temporarily obey him." ”

"You all know about me becoming the national teacher of the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, so I won't go into details, although I have targeted you many times, but every time I will deliberately control the strength, or create some other coincidences, it will always make you seem to rely on luck to get through the difficulties. ”

"Last time, I deliberately let Li Yilin go to report the news, but I actually arranged for Long Cheng to escort him in secret, but I didn't expect that he met a mysterious person halfway through, who was seriously injured and almost died, and he couldn't continue to escort him, so that Li Yilin really died under the pursuit of the Yuan army. ”

When the words fell, Ding Yanzhi's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "By the way, the person who seriously injured Long Cheng has the Holy Emperor Dragon Qi. ”

"What?" Yao Ruoyu's eyes changed slightly, and he said in amazement, "Are you sure you're right? Holy Emperor Dragon Qi? I remember that no one has reached this level since ancient times, right?"

Ding Yanzhi shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "He didn't cultivate by himself, he has an imperial seal on his hand." ”

"Human Emperor Seal, isn't this an artifact that can only be controlled by the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty?" Yao Ruoyu looked confused and quite puzzled.

However, his mind was obviously not on these things at the moment, staring at the past, and said solemnly: "Why didn't you tell me?"

He asked no beginning or end, but Ding Yanzhi seemed to know his thoughts, and chuckled: "This is true enough, so as not to make Zhu Chongjiu suspicious." ”

Yao Ruoyu's eyes were fixed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But in this way, how can everyone accept you?"

"In this troubled world, it's good to be able to do yourself," Ding Yanzhi smiled, his expression was free and easy, "You don't need the understanding and affirmation of others, you just need to be worthy of your heart, that's enough." ”

Seeing the freehand gentleness between his eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu secretly smiled bitterly, perhaps it was this kind of heart that would allow him to be recognized by the inheritance of the Legalists.
