May of the fourth year of Xianping.

The Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom suddenly led 35,000 people to attack the border of the Chiyang Kingdom without warning, and even during the war period, it still caused quite a stir.

The sudden attack of the Feng Ming Kingdom caught the Chiyang Kingdom, which was preoccupied with the war with the Cangqiu Kingdom, off guard.

On the Lianshan Pass bordering the Chiyang Kingdom and the Fengming Kingdom, the border army guarding the border is the biggest opponent in this war, because as long as the Lianshan Pass is crossed, all the way to the Wenshan Ridge to the east of Licheng, there are some small border towns that are rich but far worse than the central area, and the former Nanyue State was called an independent country but was actually a subsidiary of the Chiyang State, because it was not able to resist the Chiyang State, the Chiyang State was not defended, and the defense of this area was much looser than other borders.

After Chenguang occupied South Vietnam, although he was not liked by Emperor Chiyang, he never offended the territory of Chiyang Kingdom, Fengming Kingdom was poor and white, and the person in power was a woman, Emperor Chiyang had always despised it, so he did not spend energy to increase troops to the west of Wenshan Ridge.

That is to say, except for the defenders of Lianshan Pass, all the way to Wenshanling, there is no big garrison, except for the soldiers who defend the city, only ordinary people who usually farm at home and occasionally go to drill and enter the army when the war starts.

The defenders of Lianshan Pass were even more slack off than usual because the army of the Feng Ming Kingdom was fighting with the Long Xi Kingdom, and they were sure that the Feng Ming Kingdom would not cause trouble at this time. When Si Chen led 35,000 people to attack overnight, the people in the entire barracks were eating, drinking, gambling, and playing with women, and the general took the lead in opening a gambling game, and the barracks were full of loopholes.

When Zhang Zhe put the knife on the neck of the guard of Lianshan Pass, the guard woke up from drinking, and he was already drunk before, so he just waved the big knife around.

The guard general felt the coldness of the blade on his neck, and when he saw Si Chen, who was striding into the camp tent in a pure black dress and not even wearing armor, his face changed in shock, his eyes widened, and he shouted:

"Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Immortal Country! You, you, you are so bold that you dare to attack Lianshan Pass at night! What do you want to do, do you still want to attack the Chiyang Kingdom? It's like eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, you ......."

Before he could say anything, Chenguang had already taken the big knife from the thunder leopard beside him, and cut the guard in half with one sword.

"So much nonsense when death is on the verge of death!" Si Chen said unhappily, and ordered in a cold voice: "All the generals will be killed, and the remaining soldiers will all be taken prisoner, and let them transport food back to China." ”

"Yes!" Lei Leopard responded excitedly, and went outside to greet loudly, "Brothers, all the officials have been killed, and the rest of the prisoners have been locked up and let them help us transport food, and all the good things will be snatched and brought back!" ”

Among them, 20,000 people were horse bandits from Flame City, and after a long time, they had returned to their old jobs, and everyone was in high spirits, and said while grabbing back:

"I really didn't expect that one day His Highness would be a thief and take us out to rob it, which is much more exciting than when we were horse bandits!"

After the army of Fengying destroyed the border army of Lianshanguan, it went all the way to the east with lightning speed, killing the city guards and guards everywhere they went, robbing the official grain depots and official silver depots and all the official residences in various places, and did not commit any crimes against the people.

This is not to say that Si Chen has a conscience, but it has moved the people, once the public resentment is aroused, Emperor Chiyang is very likely to send troops to the Fengying Kingdom in order to quell the public resentment. But robbing the government has nothing to do with ordinary people, and the government and the people are in conflict, and the people may secretly applaud. The government is from the Chiyang Kingdom, to put it bluntly, it is the Chiyang Emperor's, as long as the Chiyang Emperor is willing to suffer this dumb loss, he will not pursue it. The Holy City is far away on the other side, and those ministers who have nothing to do with themselves will also persuade him to settle the war with Cangqiu Kingdom.

In just a month and a half, the horse bandit army of the Feng Ming Kingdom robbed all the west of Wenshan Ridge, and quickly retreated after that.

Because all the officials in charge of governing the local area were killed, and the people below were captured by the army of Feng Yingguo, and became the transport soldiers of Feng Yingguo, the official mansions of each city were in chaos, and it took a long time to quell these chaos, and it took a long time to calm down these chaos, and it was almost at the end of the year that someone reported the military report to the Holy City that was robbed by Feng Yingguo west of Wenshan Ridge.

Chiyang Emperor Long Yan was furious, he was a face-saving man, and he was about to send troops to attack the Feng Ming Kingdom, but he was dissuaded by the ministers. It was also Chenguang's luck, at that time, the Cangqiu Kingdom just beat the army of the Chiyang Kingdom out of the Yanyun Kingdom and approached the gate of the Chiyang Kingdom, at this time, it was indeed not suitable to settle accounts with the Fengming Kingdom, and it would have to wait until after the war with the Cangqiu Kingdom.

Emperor Chiyang held back the fire in his belly, this dumb man had to eat if he didn't eat, and when he returned to the harem, he happened to see Si Xuerou stroking the qin.

Emperor Chiyang hasn't been here for a long time, Si Xuerou was happy in her heart, stepped forward with a smile, and asked for peace delicately, but was slapped on the ground by Emperor Chiyang, pointing at her nose and scolding:

"So do you! Neither you nor your sister are good goods! A pair of sluts! ”

Si Xuerou covered her purple swollen cheeks, full of grievances and didn't dare to speak, thinking in her heart how could she be like "that slut", inexplicable, and felt that she was extremely pitiful, so tears rippled.

Lingwang Mansion.

When Dou Xuan received the news that the army of the Feng Ming Kingdom had robbed the border pass, he was spending all day drinking in the palace, looking for fun, and laughed for a long time when he heard the news, and suddenly sat up from the pile of warm fragrant nephrite, the smile on the corner of his lips did not fade, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness and a hint of madness:

"It's time."

……

Si Chen returned to Fengming Kingdom with the official grain, official silver, and horses that he had snatched back from the territory of Chiyang Kingdom, and immediately ordered the official silver with the mark of Chiyang Kingdom to be melted down and recast into silver, and the 15,000 defenders of Hanjing, the 20,000 troops who returned from Liangcheng, and the 10,000 people captured from the territory of Chiyang Kingdom were gathered into an army of 45,000 people, and ordered these people to rush to the front line with grain and grass.

Zhang Zhe vigorously opposed her decision: "It's okay for Your Highness to ask 10,000 people from Chiyang Country to be the vanguard for us, but it's absolutely impossible to send the Hanjing defenders out, the 15,000 people are to protect Your Highness's safety, send out this last Imperial City Army, in case of a change, Your Highness is in danger......"

Si Chen glanced at him lightly: "I still use people to protect me?" If they are in danger, I will not die if they die. ”

One sentence choked Zhang Zhe speechless.

The next day, 45,000 men set out from Hanjing and rushed to the front.

At this time, the defenders of the Feng Ming Kingdom have been defending Liangcheng for three months, and they are embarrassed, as soon as the reinforcements and grain and grass arrive, the whole city cheers, and when they hear that the Feng Lord personally led people to the territory of the Chiyang Kingdom to rob the grain and grass and capture a group of people, they were surprised and shocked, this matter was regarded as a legendary story in the army for many years, and the morale of the Feng Ying Kingdom army was greatly boosted.

There was plenty of food and grass, weapons were complete, and there were more people, and the army was reinvigorated and full of energy.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Xianping, the army of the Fengying Kingdom finally broke out of the Huiqingling area, and attacked Lucheng with the power of thunder, and after occupying it, it approached Shipu Peak, the first fortress of the Longxi Kingdom!
