Chapter 23: The Fall of Wu Anjun
In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Qianshun, Xia Chi returned to the dynasty.
As the most prestigious military general in the government and the opposition, Xia Chi lost his expectations and wiped out many tribes in the north with one body. After this war, the border can be peaceful for at least ten years.
Xia Chi received the warmest welcome in the Shendu, and even the emperor left the Shendu to welcome Xia Chi's arrival ten miles outside the city.
At that time, Xia Chi could be described as infinitely beautiful. He is capable, and he has excelled. Sure enough, after he returned, the emperor awarded him the title of Wu Anjun on the spot.
This is a special title, and only an invincible general who can stabilize the country and defeat the enemy army can obtain such a glorious title.
Xia Chi's prestige at this time is unmatched in this world, and even vaguely overshadows the emperor.
This also made the emperor feel uneasy in his heart, coupled with the fact that some people in the court were jealous of Wu Anjun's exploits and kept slandering the emperor, and the emperor's suspicion became more and more solemn.
Finally, in what happened in that incident, the emperor's suspicions reached the extreme.
Finally, in the last year of Qianshun, the emperor asked Xia Chi to do something. It completely changed Xia Chi and also changed the fate of the entire empire.
The emperor ordered Xia Chi to go to the east to exterminate the monsters.
At this time, monsters were already rampant, and there were monsters raging all over the world.
At that time, a local official in Henan Province reported that there were already groups of monsters in the local area, and the local government was worried about the lack of troops, and hoped that the imperial court would send a member of the imperial court to deal with it.
Because the monster was extremely powerful, several reinforcements sent by the imperial court returned in vain, and the emperor finally sent Wu Anjun to exterminate the demon of chaos.
Everyone thought that this was just an easy matter, and even the sergeants around Xia Chi at that time thought so.
But they were all wrong.
Xia Chi only led 20,000 people to the expedition at that time, because it was not people who were exterminated, but monsters, and bringing too many people would require a lot of baggage, which would affect the speed.
After investigating in Haizhou City, Xia Chi and the demon clan hidden in the city played with each other, and finally determined the location of the decisive battle in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
The army led by Xia Chi, together with the garrison of Haizhou Mansion, smashed into the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
Even the nearby villagers didn't know that in such a canyon, there was a place called Wanhua Valley.
From a distance, it looks like a splendid sea of flowers, purple and red, dazzling.
And in the sea of flowers, there is actually a hidden village. The people inside are like ordinary villagers, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Even if someone breaks in by mistake, they won't notice anything unusual.
But when the army arrived, they were surprised to find that the originally kind villagers had all turned into vicious monsters.
They are flower demons.
In the midst of thousands of flowers, a spiritual creature was born.
This Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers is where they were born.
And this is also a trap for Xia Chi alone.
I have to say that Xia Chi's light at that time was too dazzling, so that above the court, even those who opposed him rarely saw it.
The emperor is good at the art of checks and balances, not letting one family dominate. After careful consideration, the emperor decided to transfer Xia Chi outside, and then find a way to kill him.
The traps are the flower demons in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
This group of flower demons, they have been living in the valley without a fight. It wasn't them who caused trouble everywhere in Haizhou City.
And it was someone else who created this incident.
Xia Chi and the Flower Demon finally went to war, Xia Chi deserved to be a generation of famous generals, and he wisely chose to attack with fire. Taking advantage of the fire, it swept through the valley in an instant.
