Chapter 112: The Opposite Direction

>,!

The Condor Pill can not only permanently improve the physical fitness of the person who eats it, but also has the effect of instantly replenishing energy. ≥,

A few minutes after drinking the Divine Eagle Pill, Wu Xin basically got rid of the weakness caused by eating mud and sewage for a few days, and he could now bear it even if he ate a big bowl of mud, of course he didn't plan to do it............

Wu Xin arched his hand to the old offering: "I have written down the friendship of the old offering, do you still have family in the city?" ”

"Wu Qianhu has a heart, after the destruction of the Yehe tribe, the old man thought that his life was sold to the emperor and sold to Ning Yuanbo, and if he wanted to die, he would die in Liaodong, but his family couldn't stay in Liaodong, his wife died early, and a daughter had already married to Jiangnan, this time, I let my sons move to the mainland. The latest letter was sent from Luoyang three months ago, and now it should have been to my hometown of Changsha, I read history books, even if the country is in trouble in the future, there will always be one or two hundred years of peace in the south of the Yangtze River, but the old man feels that Changsha and Nanjing are not safe after all, and may also suffer from military disasters. I asked them to continue to go south and go to Liangguang to buy some land, and in the past few decades, they still have some belongings for the Li family, and they have bought 180 acres of land for their sons, and they will cultivate and read heirlooms in the future. After the old worshipper said this, he bowed to Wu Xin with some embarrassment. Old and timid. Wu Qianhu was selfless and smiled. ”

Although the old worshipper has never been a jinshi, he is also a serious person, and the more he reads and the more people see, the more convinced he can be that the life span of the Bright Empire has come to an end.

If he said this heart-to-heart, if it was in the past, he wouldn't dare to say it to Jin Yiwei, but in the current situation, life and death have been put aside, and Wu Xin and him are indeed no longer ordinary relationships, so naturally there is nothing to say.

"Nations rise and fall. It is true that everyone is responsible, but if we have fought hard, we will be worthy of the emperor and conscience, and it is also the right thing to let our children and grandchildren go first. Wu Xin nodded in understanding about his arrangement. He knew that after the collapse of the Bright Empire, a situation of partial peace was not formed, and Liangguang also experienced more than ten years of war.

He didn't agree with letting his family escape, he just understood, and he had no position to blame the old worshippers who had given him the treasure and were fighting.

He also intends to show the way for the old worship.

By this time, the Portuguese had already established a stronghold in Macao, and until the time before Wu Xin's crossing, the city had not experienced any major disasters except for a few limited invasions by the Dutch. And because of a certain national policy of "entering the house with a knife and sending money" in later generations, it has become the most prosperous and wealthy city in the entire human civilization.

However, Wu Xin didn't open his mouth in the end, and if he wanted to say it, he couldn't say it in front of so many people, the old worship should not be so transparent anyway, this topic will greatly affect morale.

Wu Xin turned to ask: "Since the old worship has no worries, and the Li family has also withdrawn, then we have nothing to worry about, and ask the old Qianhu to tell us what the situation is in Shenyang City now." ”

Although Li Chengliang's hometown is in Tieling. However, most of the family property was placed in Liaoyang and Shenyang, and this time Shenyang fell. The Li family's network has basically been eradicated, but there is still some intelligence.

The information provided by Alpha is very general and may even be misleading, so the first thing Wu Xin has to do is to collect and filter the information.

"Oh, it's miserable." The old worshipper sighed before he began to speak. "There are already more than 10,000 residents in the city of Shenyang. Recently, there were many refugees from Kaiyuan Tieling, and when the city was broken, there were more than 20,000 people in the city, as well as five or six thousand soldiers and horses, and there was plenty of food and cloth. It is said that if you organize all the strong men and women, even if you can't keep it for too long, you can always hold on to it for three or five days, right? ”

"If you survive three or five days, then you can hold on for at least three months." Wu Xin knew that the most dangerous thing about defending the city was the first few days, "Three months is enough time for the emperor to mobilize elite soldiers from the northwest and southwest again." ”

Shenyang was not the capital of Liaodong at this time, it was a military stronghold to defend Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong, in fact, because of the high density of troops, it was even more difficult to conquer than Liaoyang.

The old worshipper sighed again, and Delia felt that she had inquired about the rest of the matter, so she took the initiative to speak and help the old worshipper avoid a little pain: "But the Shenyang chief soldier He Shixian probably asked the current Liaodong strategy Yuan Yingtai for soldiers and horses to support him in order to strengthen the city defense, and Yuan Yingtai had no troops to give him, so he was allowed to recruit outlaws on his own." He Shixian doesn't look down on the locals, he likes brave orcs, and in the recent past, he has collected thousands of orcs from Mongolia. ”

The old worshipper shook his head in a congested manner, unable to speak.

The next words, Wu Xin said: "It was this group of orcs who opened the city gate and sold Shenyang!" ”

"That's it, but He Shixian is stupid enough, not only did he recruit orcs, but he also carried out a hasty field battle in the face of the army of wild boar skins, and buried all the elites of the human army, and he himself died outside the city, making the city completely undefensible." Delia nodded and continued. "In the process of conquering Shenyang, the wild boar skin eliminated a large number of reinforcements sent by Yuan Yingtai from Liaoyang, so after he conquered Shenyang, he immediately attacked Liaoyang, and only let his youngest son Azig and a small number of elites with a large number of orcs and human traitors arrange a phantom array in Shenyang, relying on the phantom array to slaughter the residents and a small number of remnants of the Bright Empire troops."

There was a purple-black mist in the air, and it was clear that the phantom array was still in motion.

"After breaking the illusion array, it will take at least a day to be fascinated again, but as long as the sober person pours more cold water, he can wake up. And Delia's perception is enough, she has not been fascinated again, after all, the elf army is limited, not only to guard the four gates, but also to hold on to a few phantom array nodes, and the search in the city is not strict. "Villefort thinks it's good to stick to this vault.

Joel and Colmona didn't speak, but Mullan expressed his support for Villefort: "The six Phantom Array nodes, each of the big ones are guarded by nearly a hundred people, and the small ones have more than twenty people, and there are patrols that will support us at any time, so we can only hold on to the vault." ”

Two Shengjing hot pot restaurants and four temples are spewing poisonous gas.............

"It's not just a few people, we still have a shop and more than a dozen veterans as buddies, all of whom were saved by Di Qianhu, even if we don't attack the Phantom Array node, we can't stay here and wait for death." The old worshippers don't know why these young brocade guards are so conservative. "The main force of the wild boar skin is besieging Liaoyang. I'm not optimistic that Yuan Yingtai can defend Liaoyang, it's okay for this guy to build a river embankment and a sluice gate in the mainland, and suddenly throw him to Liaodong, it's just ........."

He called Liaodong Jinglu by the name, and was actually extremely dissatisfied with the Emperor of Light, but the Emperor of the Bright Empire was the incarnation of the Dragon of Yan and Huang. He has a very high status in the eyes of the people, and in the Eastern culture, he is everyone's father, even if he is dissatisfied to the extreme, the old worshippers will not scold their fathers.

"When the army of wild boar skins after the city is broken, none of the men in the city will survive. Even if Liaoyang is held for a while, at most it will be a stick to the city, even if there are three thousand elf troops, we will only have a dead end, so it is better to escape from the city as soon as possible. "Of course, the old worshippers just want to escape." The city gate is difficult to break through, but Shenyang City is not high, there are some relatively high houses by the city wall, and wait for the night to set up a ladder or use a hook and rope, there is a chance to turn out, of course, we have to find Gang Qianhu first, and wait for it to get dark to do. ”

Naturally, the reincarnators could not escape from Shenyang. But if you look for Gonzalez first, they don't object.

Even Villefort didn't want Gonzalez to be poisoned alive by his companion's flesh, but everyone was not optimistic.

…………….

Meanwhile. Liaoyang City.

This largest city in the Empire of Light outside the Shanhai Pass is now surrounded by tens of thousands of elven armies inside and out.

The wild boar skin, which was rumored to be out of breath at any time, commanded the troops vigorously under the city, and also displayed the heads of the Shenyang prefect back and forth.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city were terrified.

In order to inspire people, Yuan Yingtai no longer lived in the official residence, but in the city tower called Zhenyuan Tower.

It has only been four days since the fall of Shenyang. But Yuan Yingtai seems to have aged for more than ten years.

The area that the dignified Bright Empire's Liaodong Jingluo can rule now is only Liaoyang.

Even if the soldiers were next to him, Yuan Yingtai couldn't hide his worries, he looked at the direction of Shenyang with a sad face, and asked his brother-in-law Yao Juxiu beside him: "Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghua still have no news at all?" ”

Yao Juxiu shook his head: "Brother-in-law." Don't think about them, the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers can't come back. Even if it is different from the defeated soldiers, the two generals are still alive and cannot enter the city now. But the elven army is here, and it is always possible for them to escape back to Quang Ninh and Shanhaiguan on their own. ”

"Hey, since the Taizu of the Dynasty, Liaodong has been operating dismally for more than 200 years, millions of Han people have lived and multiplied, and now they have lost half of Thailand, I have a negative grace and a negative people, and when the enemy retreats, I will only be imprisoned." Although worried, Yuan Yingtai still did not realize the criticality of the situation. "He Shixian misunderstood me, those orcs are the source of trouble."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, keep Liaoyang, the saint will thank you for your credit in repelling the wild boar skin, fortunately, there are not a few orcs in Liaoyang City, and they can't do it." Yao Juxiu is different from other officials' brothers-in-law, everyone follows his brother-in-law to get rich, and he follows his brother-in-law to suffer. "When my brother-in-law came to Liaodong, the situation was almost defeated by Yang Hao, and it was not my brother-in-law's fault."

"It's my fault, Shenyang is different from the second city of Kaitie. Without the orc's internal response, it is impossible to fall in one go. "Yuan Yingtai really regrets it at this time." I am a sinner who killed millions of Han people in Liaodong. ”

"Brother-in-law, don't say that, wild boar skin is the sinner." Yao Juxiu looked at her brother-in-law like the walking dead, and her tears were about to stay.

"Don't worry, I won't kill myself. As a sinner, I must let the emperor judge and die by punishment, this is the last thing I can do for the Empire of Light. Yuan Yingtai patted Yao Juxiu's shoulder. After I die, you don't have to do business anymore, let the children study well. ”

Yao Juxiu shook his head vigorously, but he couldn't speak.

His brother-in-law from Linzhang County to Henan right to participate in politics, all the way to control the water, he followed the quarrying all the way to deliver food, from Zhangshui to the Yellow River, all the way to follow his brother-in-law to work diligently for the Emperor of Light.

Although he also made a small fortune, compared with others, he and his brother-in-law are real loyal ministers of the emperor and servants of the people.

Several pro-soldiers looked at Yuan Yingtai and Yao Juxiu's sad faces, and they all felt complicated.

Most of them were Liao, and they were extremely resentful that Yuan Yingtai allowed He Shixian to recruit orcs, which led to the fall of Shenyang, but Yuan Yingtai took over the crisis after the defeat in Salhu and the fall of Kaiyuan Tieling. He did work hard and worked day and night.

Yuan Yingtai's official reputation before serving as the Liaodong Economic Strategy was very good, and he was a rare bureaucrat in the entire Bright Empire who was willing to do things and could do things.

His exploits in controlling the water in Henan and Hebei received the attention of the Wanli Emperor, who transferred him to Beijing, and took charge of the management of the Lugou River and the Haihe River. Outstanding political achievements.

And then the disaster began.

Faced with the situation after the defeat of Salhu, Emperor Wanli sent his subordinates, whom he considered the most talented, to deal with the mess left by Yang Hao.

In the view of Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Ningxia, this decision of the Wanli Emperor greatly accelerated the collapse of the situation in Liaodong.

Although Yang Hao's talent is limited, he has been in charge since he resisted the Japanese and aided the DPRK, has experienced countless victories and defeats, and has seen many mediocre and stupid people, even if he is only a middle-aged talent, he has already experienced a few sharp teeth.

Although Salhu was defeated, it was the second city of Liaoshen. He still has great hope of holding on, after all, attacking and defending are completely different jobs.

Yang Ho will not do anything to recruit orcs with ill intentions after the defeat.

'It's so stupid that even the orcs don't understand it. Hou Shilu looked at Yuan Yingtai with a sad face, and did not sympathize with him at all.

Yang Hao, who had been fighting in Liaodong for so many years, was also beaten in front of the wild boar skin, and Yuan Yingtai, who had enthusiasm and no military experience, made a series of more ridiculous decisions based on the experience of water control.

Put the already precarious situation in Liaodong. Corrupted to the point of no return.

In such a situation, no matter how hard he worked, he could not make up for his guilt. Going to prison was his proper fate.

"Chief Soldier, what do you want to see?" Hou Shilu walked to the city wall and didn't speak for a long time, so Yao Juxiu took the initiative to ask.

Yuan Yingtai didn't have any dissatisfied expression, this kind of thing can be regarded as rude on weekdays, but he also understands this general who came from afar.

Not only because Hou Shilu's performance in the past few days is very good, he personally led the team out for a fierce battle yesterday. The fight was not beautiful, but it also played a certain role, also because all the local elite soldiers in Liaoyang had been lost in the battle to rescue Liaoyang.

The Ganxi border soldiers from the northwest led by Hou Shilu are now the last fighting force in Liaoyang City.

"I sent troops to hunt down the orcs in the city, and I have already captured more than two dozen orcs, several of whom are children. Please give us a brief indication of this. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, and Yuan Yingtai was politically finished, Hou Shilu still didn't dare to transgress it, this is the rule of the Bright Empire.

And this matter is also a cauldron, and he doesn't want to carry it.

"Men and women, young and old, all put to death!" Yuan Yingtai's words surprised Yao Juxiu.

"Brother-in-law, it's already a big crime to lose Shenyang, and then the women and children will be executed, I'm afraid that the Holy Mother will never let go of the brother-in-law." Our Lady of Speech is a characteristic official position in the Empire of Light, and this position is responsible for pointing out problems without doing anything practical.

Originally, the original purpose of this official position was to make it easier for the emperor to control his ministers, and it was also a structure to supervise the conduct of officials.

However, after more than 200 years, this official position, due to its own characteristics, has completely lost its original intention of supervising officials, and has completely become a tool of political struggle, and even worse, it has also implemented a set of absurd moral standards.

As long as political correctness conforms to the teachings of the saints, they will spray whoever dares to oppose it, completely ignoring the practical difficulties.

"I don't care so much, I want to save 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Liaoyang first." But no matter how taboo it is on weekdays, Yuan Yingtai can't control the official of the Holy Lady.

After receiving the order, Hou Shilu asked another question: "The elves of Liaodong have lived together with the subjects of the empire for many years, and most of them are of mixed blood, is it to trace the ancestral home and arrest the elves who only have thin human blood." ”

Yuan Yingtai hesitated, and Yao Juxiu knelt down suddenly: "Brother-in-law, no, in such a situation, there must be many manslaughters, and now that the two emperors have just died of illness, the Holy Mother will besiege the brother-in-law in a group and be cruel and unkind, not to accumulate blessings for the ancestors." Brother-in-law, you can just be loyal to the emperor, you can't ignore my sister and niece, right? ”

Killing orcs, women and children is at most just Yuan Yingtai's own change from being an army to being beheaded, and if you want to trace the elf hybrids, then the Yuan family is in great trouble.

Yuan Yingtai also shook his head helplessly at Hou Shilu: "This matter has to be mentioned again, the nature of orcs and beasts is difficult to domesticate, although the blood of the half-elf is close to the Jianzhou elf, but after naturalization for many years, he is also the emperor's child, so you can't be suspicious." Do not forget that we are the kingdom of heaven, and we must not do the deeds of wild beasts. (To be continued......)
