Text Chapter 172 Chaos
After everyone else arrived, Chu Jing announced the revocation of the city defense, because of the tragic scene in the northern city, most of the people felt very happy.
Chu Jing took this opportunity to mention a few more words: "The eldest prince will evacuate soon, but it doesn't mean that Renjin City is safe, Juyun City, Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City are still eyeing each other, the three princes may have thoughts about Juyun City, the seventh prince ...... My meeting with the Great Prince this time may have some impact on the relationship between me and the Seventh Prince......"
"The lord means ......," Yu Ban said, "we must be careful to guard against ......"
Chu Jing nodded.
The summoned generals of the Three Kingdoms naturally regarded Chu Jing as the lord and the king, even if they temporarily lived under the Seven Princes, they would not have any loyalty to the Seven Princes.
As for Chu Jing's ambitions regarding the Apocalypse Kingdom, only Zirui and the Black Water Knight are currently known. Chu Jing didn't mean to show it for the time being.
Without a city and a state, it can't be called a country, Chu Jing has plans to build Renjin City into the capital, but not now.
"My lord, give me some troops, and let me take them out for training. Meng was pleaded.
Chu Jingzheng had this intention and said: "After the eldest prince evacuates, I will give you 10,000 soldiers as your main force, and in the next few days, I will go to the local learned people to ask about the situation outside the city, and don't go out with a black eye." ”
Meng was ordered, although this old man was very uninterested in learning, but he didn't dare to disobey Chu Jing's words, which was within the constraints of the rules.
Chu Jing said to Zhou Tai again: "You are brave and good at fighting, I am ready to establish a vanguard battalion, let you select a thousand elite soldiers in the army, and charge forward in every battle, acting as the first formation." ”
Zhou Tai clenched his fists silently: "Yes!"
Of the three generals of the Three Kingdoms, Chu Jing found that the most reliable one was Zhou Tai, who was deep and steady, and had the style of a general.
Finally, Yu Ban, in this battle to defend the city, Yu Ban's performance was unsatisfactory, and he successfully held out for three days, so that the eldest prince also lost tens of thousands of people, and only three or five hundred people were killed, most of whom were wounded.
The medical skills of the Divine Continent are not bad, and they are very experienced in external injuries, and there are very few deaths from tetanus infection.
Chu Jing decided to appoint Yu Ban as the deputy city lord of Renjin City, responsible for matters large and small.
There were originally two deputy city lords in Renjin City, one was killed by Qin Jian, and the other was accidentally injured and recuperating at home, Chu Jing directly deprived the deputy city lord of his position, making Yu Ban the de facto supreme leader of Renjin City in addition to Chu Jing.
Under Chu Jing's consistent high-pressure rule, no one in Renjin City dared to object, not to mention that he was also the hero who successfully defended the city this time and repelled the attack of the Great Prince.
In this regard, the affairs of Ren Jincheng were temporarily assigned, and Chu Jing became an idler.
Only the next day, the camp of the Great Prince was empty, and some of them withdrew to Juyun City and the other two cities, while the Great Prince and Qi Lin led 100,000 troops back to Xinyang City overnight.
If what Chu Jing said is true, then half of the ministers of the imperial court are spies who eat inside and out, and they must all be cleaned up.
With the exploit of expropriating three cities, the eldest prince took this opportunity to consolidate his position in the court and eliminate dissidents.
In short, the eldest prince is busy, very busy.
Cloud City. The three cities of Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City are temporarily under military control, strictly managed by the Blood Wolf Legion, and the city lord will be transferred by the great prince's cronies.
The three city lords are not at a loss, they were promised high-ranking officials Houlu, and they are directly "Beijing officials", although the real power is less, but the status is a real promotion.
The wartime control of Renjincheng has not been canceled, and it is still a continuation of the previous decree, unified management of materials, and illegal implementation of labor reform.
Chu Jing's ideal Renjin City has not yet been built, and the war brought about by the prince's struggle for the throne will not subside soon, and Renjin City still has a long way to go.
During the period when the eldest prince and Chu Jing were at a stalemate, the others were not idle.
With the idea of "abandoning the car to protect the handsome", the Seven Princes built a pass three hundred miles south of Renjin City, and gathered a large number of city lords in the south, which can almost be called Nanxinguo.
Sandwiched between Tiannan Mansion and Renjin City and the Pass, these city lords had almost no choice.
Even Qi Lin's father, the right and left hand of the eldest prince, the city lord of Kering City, all surrendered to the side of the Seven Princes, of course, in return, the Seven Princes did not interfere with Kaiyun City, and also pardoned all Qi Lin's "crimes".
This is a double-insurance investment, the seventh prince can see it clearly, and the eldest prince also understands it, and no one has broken it.
The battle for the throne between brothers is allowed, they don't want to fight to the death, but more importantly, to see the means and charm of both sides.
Now that Renjin City has not been broken, the Seven Princes have won one chip, and the Great Prince has won three cities, and he has not lost.
And in the north the third prince and the second prince.
The second prince is hurrying to hold a wedding, marrying the daughters of one big family after another, they may not be the most progressive, but they are definitely the most united, this is an alliance that is both prosperous and loss-making.
The three princes went to the border of the kingdom of the world, and the alliance of the Xinguo and the thirteen countries gathered millions of people just as the main force, not to mention that there were various auxiliary armies, scouts, escorts, etc., and there were no longer a few who successfully survived from the battlefield.
The defeated Shinkoku army was mixed with soldiers from other countries, and fled to various parts of Shinkoku in a panic, and the three princes were hurrying to collect these people.
Fengluo City, the northernmost city, to the north is a barren desert, north of the desert is the Broken Mountain, and further north is the territory of the world.
The desert and the Broken Mountain are the natural barriers of the Kingdom of Faith, directly resisting the attack of the Kingdom of the World, of course, this is not insurmountable, the army of the Kingdom of Heaven is from here, and it is from here that the army of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Heaven departed.
In the distance, a group of ragged people came out of the desert, and the yellow sand was their background, and a sense of gloom slowly came.
The third prince rushed over when he heard the report on the city tower.
Thirty or fifty people, not much, but those who can survive on the battlefield are veterans except for soldiers, in fact, there is not much difference between the two.
These people can lead recruits, their experience is something that can't be learned from books, and the Three Princes are lacking such people.
However, when the third prince saw the steps of these people, the expression on his face became solemn.
It's not that they don't look like they've gone through long journeys, sleeping in the open, hungry, but their steps, neat, and light, these are not ordinary soldiers, and even the current situation has not changed their habits.
"Masters, they are all masters, and there may be people with status in them. ”
After the third prince finished speaking, he whispered a few words in the ear of a pro-soldier beside him, and the pro-soldier immediately ran away.
The group was closer.
The third prince took a few steps forward and shouted, "Welcome home, my comrades-in-arms, my friends!"
The group of people had already noticed him, and their pace did not change in the slightest, and they walked unhurriedly to the front of the third prince.
The guards of the three princes were waiting for them, and the personal soldier quickly ran back, with an army of nearly a thousand people behind him.
The tallest one in the group lifted his hood to shield him from the wind and sand, and smiled at the third prince: "Is this how you greeted Lao Tzu?"
This man was tall and mighty, with a fleshy face, a full beard, and hideous scars all over his face, and if you look closely, you will find that there are even more scars on his body.
"General Zhenxi?!"
The third prince was a little afraid to admit it, and exclaimed, "You are still alive!"
"Hahaha......"
Gao Song laughed a few times: "In this world, Lao Tzu has not been born yet......! I have to hold my grandson and die. ”
Only then did the third prince notice that the man who was not tall on Gao Song's right hand, after he took off his hood, his handsome and elegant face was not Gao Meng, who was known as the "blood wolf on the battlefield", who else?
"Hehe, the tall general really loves his son. ”
The third prince smiled bitterly, he couldn't tell whether it was a sigh or a sarcasm in his tone, everyone else died, but Gao Song survived in order to protect his son Gou, which has to be said to be really ironic.
Gao Song was not angry, he didn't have so many crooked intestines, he was straightforward and fast-talking, and he lived a disgraceful life, so he admitted it.
"Haha, what's going on with Xinguo now? Qin Yu didn't make a mess of that kid, right?"
The third prince glanced at the others, shook his head and said, "Let's go back and talk about it, I came here this time to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you soldiers who have returned home." ”
"Alas, we deserters ......"
"It's good to survive, faith is exactly what needs you, sometimes it is more courageous to live than to die, even in the face of duty, you have to complete your mission. ”
Gao Song looked at the third prince strangely, he didn't expect him to say such a thing, could it be that something really happened to Xinguo, is it the counterattack of the kingdom of the world?
When the news of the defeat of the coalition came, he was the first to take refuge in the three princes, and instructed the three princes to gather the remnants of the army and compete for the throne with the eldest prince.
The banquet was put on the table, and all the surviving soldiers were invited, most of these people were Gao Song's personal soldiers and guards, and their strength was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and they were the objects that the three princes tried their best to fight for.
At the time of the staggering of plans, the three princes talked about the current situation facing the country.
The eldest brother was in a hurry to ascend the throne after his father's accident, but the civil and military opposition of the Manchu Dynasty directly led to the seventh brother getting the support of the old ministers and going to the south, where he gathered many city lords and prepared to become emperor. ”
"The situation of the second brother is more complicated, his background is too big, he can't control himself at all, he has become a puppet of his relatives, uniting several city lords, and wants to be the emperor in the northwest. ”
"I couldn't bear to see the kingdom of Shin go on in such civil strife, so I accepted the suggestion of the lord of Fengluo Castle, gathered some of the defeated soldiers here and elsewhere, and prepared to settle the dispute between the brothers by force, and then discuss the ownership of the throne together. ”
Gao Song understood the meaning of the third prince no matter how simple he was, he was ready to forcibly ascend the throne by force, as for what to discuss together, under absolute strength, everything is.
However, if there is a strong person who can become the emperor of Xinguo, it is good, in this troubled era, only the strongest one can survive.
At present, there is no idea of a country to fight the country, and that is because their own country has also suffered heavy losses in this war with the kingdom of the world, and there is no spare force to engage in aggression.
And the kingdom of heaven has once again become the focus of the Divine Continent because of this great victory, and all countries, no matter far or near, are staring at it closely, so that it can't move if it wants to.
Gao Song felt that the third prince was a manufacturable material, and perhaps he was more suitable for the throne.
"Thanks to the third prince who doesn't dislike me as a defeated general, then I will accompany you to a great cause. Gao Song promised.
"Haha, the general is too modest, and now the strength and prestige of the entire Xinguo are comparable to the general, I'm afraid there is no one. ”
Chu Feixiong and the other four towns were all buried in the loess, and there was only one general in the entire Xin Kingdom, Gao Song.
Gao Song hesitated for a moment and said, "There are also Shen Yunhe, God Hunter, Great Worship, and the head of the Heavenly Dome Sect......"
"......" The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Who can compare to a general in matters on the battlefield." ”
For a war at the national level, the strength of the individual is equally important, but the strength of the army is the most important thing, otherwise the three princes will not come to collect the remnants of the army first.
At the banquet, Gao Meng, the son of Gao Song, the "blood wolf on the battlefield", kept his head down and was speechless, he always thought that it was a great shame to escape from the battlefield, but his father was for him, and he was still an excuse for his father, but he sat here like a hero...... Every second made him sit on pins and needles.
In other places, many things have also happened, such as Shang Youren, the iron sword hero who has been being pursued by the six gates, and Zhu Tong, the wind hammer, who have also managed to ambush and kill Niu Kui, the god of the six gates, and another god hunter.
At this time, the country of faith was in turmoil, and those of them who had suffered great sins and fallen into the grass began to stir up the situation.
They set up camp five hundred miles west of Jinning City, which was near the Demon Beast Domain, a place where even bandits who didn't dare to come if they didn't want to die, but their leader was not an ordinary person.
The name of the cottage is Sanying Village, three leaders, including Shang Youren and Zhu Tongwai, and one of the most important characters - Yi Qiu, the young owner of the original Divine Beast Mountain Villa.
Of course, there are no mythical beasts in the Divine Beast Villa, and legend has it that there was a giant monster ten miles long in the place where the villa was established to descend from the sky to rest, so it was named the Divine Beast Villa.
However, the Divine Beast Villa is not in vain, the first owner once learned some methods of taming beasts when he was wandering outside, so he established the Divine Beast Villa, and even later started the Colosseum.
Because of this, Yi Qiu's father was recruited by the imperial court to sweep a demon beast domain together.
At that time, it happened to be Shen Yunhe who swept away the Demon Beast Domain alone, bringing inflated confidence to the imperial court's sweeping of the Demon Beasts.
The result can be imagined, Shen Yunhe's strength is not everyone's strength, and the strength of the Demon Beast Domain is not exactly the same, not to mention that Shen Yunhe is a task that only takes a whole month to complete when he is crazy, how can ordinary soldiers do it at will.
Yi Qiu's father died in the Demon Beast Domain, and his mother died soon after due to excessive grief, and the entire Divine Beast Mountain Villa gradually declined.
In an accident, the iron sword hero Shang Youren saved the life of Yi Qiu, who was wandering alone, and when Yi Qiu heard that Shang Youren was being hunted down by Six Doors, he immediately gave up his family property and went to Shang Youren.
He also used the secret method handed down by his ancestors to lead the bandits to hide near the Demon Beast Domain.
On the Juyi Hall in the center of the cottage, Shang Youren sat at the top, Zhu Tong and Yi Qiu were on the left and right, and a large group of small minions stood below.
Shang Youren raised a large bowl of water and wine with both hands, stood up and said loudly: "Shang Mou is a wanted criminal in the imperial court, thanks to all friends who do not dislike it, gather here to support each other and help together." ”
"Today, the country of faith outside is in chaos, the last emperor Lao'er fought a battle that should not be fought, died, and several of his sons began to divide his family property, this whole country of faith. ”
"The Qin family's Xinguo has come to an end under their own practice, and their rule is coming to an end, and now is the time for me to do something great. ”
Shang Youren pointed at Yi Qiu with his hand again, and said: "Brother Yi abandoned the villa and slept with me outside, thanks to his secret method, so that we can walk freely outside the safe zone, if there is no him, there will be no current cottage." ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhu Tong and said, "Brother Zhu and I have the same fate, I won't say anything superfluous, everyone is in the same boat, it's time to dock." ”
The little minions below cheered, especially loud in the quiet mountain forest.
Zhu Tong didn't have the ambition of Shang Youren, but quietly glanced at Yi Qiu with his eyes, and the other party gave him a reassuring look.
Yi Qiu's secret method is very effective, but even when it comes to ordinary demon beasts, if it really encounters a powerful demon beast, it will still cause an attack, otherwise, Yi Qiu's father will not die in the demon beast domain.
At this time, the movement in the cottage was very loud, which made Zhu Tong a little worried, in fact, Yi Qiu had no bottom in his heart, if he wasn't forced too hard by the six doors, who would want to be with the demon beasts.
Shang Youren gestured with both hands, his voice suddenly stopped, and he continued: "I will first send some brothers out to inquire about information, and then when several princes are competing for the throne the fiercest, find a way to stick a knife in their backs, so that they can also know that we are powerful." ”
Don't look at Shang Youren at this time, that is because he was forced to be urgent, six doors and twelve gods to capture, each of which is stronger than him, and after the twelve gods are captured, there is also a god of hunting, which makes Shang Youren worry every day in the days without the help of Yi Qiu, and live like a year.
When the little minions below heard that they were going to leave here, they became even more excited, and the cheers were even louder than before.
"Whew!"
At this moment, a huge roar was heard in the distance, and the sound overshadowed the cheers, startling countless birds.
The little minion suddenly lost his voice, and even held his breath, not daring to make the slightest movement.
Only then did they remember that this was near the Demon Beast Domain.
