Hu Yue people sang and danced, and the joy was bad.

The old king in the royal court, cup after cup, was sad.

No one knew how auspicious would win, but they saw the mountains of rolling heads in front of the square, and the faces that had frozen in fear.

"It's time for you to spoil people in your life, and now you are proud, and you will laugh again?"

"It turns out that this is a lustful person, he looks so ugly, his body hair is so heavy, and he doesn't look like a good person. ”

"When I saw their frightened faces, I was happy. ”

......

Hu Yue people, both men and women, were not frightened by the bloody scene in front of them, and most of them rushed forward to watch, and by the way, they vented the hatred they had held back in their hearts for a long time.

Jingguan occupies a small area, but it is not short.

Gradually frozen into a pyramid shape under the continuous accumulation and reinforcement of heavy snow.

This is the handiwork of the mascot, originally to show off his military exploits, but it scared Lao Wang into paralysis.

"This is a demonstration, the mascot with the powerful color of the human head built of the Jingguan, to demonstrate to us!" Lao Wang lay on the bed, his tone floating.

The two sons were in front of the bed, but they failed to bring even a trace of warmth to Lao Wang.

The anxiety of the boss and the heartlessness of the second child made Lao Wang feel that this year's climate was much colder than before.

It would be nice if the third child was still here!

Thinking of the third child, Lao Wang's trembling hands trembled even more.

There are many rumors about the auspicious one, and almost all the words of praise have been exhausted, so that he wears the supreme crown.

And his third son also showed his edge at that time, and he was overwhelmed by Daxia.

But now the auspicious one is in his prime, and his reputation is in full swing.

The third child, who was no worse than him, had already died under the butcher's knife of the lustful man, and let him send the white-haired man to the black-haired man.

Every time he thought about it, his heart ached, and he could only use wine to anesthetize himself before he could sleep.

Maybe it's because of his old age and perennial alcoholism, his body is like a levee that has been eaten by ants for a long time, and finally collapsed.

"Close that window, it always smells of blood, and I can't get used to it now. ”

Then the eldest turned and closed the window that was facing the bed, and before he closed it, he saw again the mountain of heads, which was now white like a pine tree covered with snow.

"You, inheriting the throne, must drive the mascot out of Hu Yue as soon as possible and train to protect yourself. The second child is a fool and won't be your enemy, so you have to protect him. ”

Lao Wang has begun to explain the future.

The boss turned his head to look at the second child who was still in a daze, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

"Remember, if there is no room for turnaround, look for your sister, and although her husband's family is no longer favored, she will still be able to keep you safe. ”

The boss nodded, and found that Wang's words were becoming more and more organized.

"I heard that Jixiang occupies a lot of islands in the southern continent, if you really can't bear the burden of reviving Hu Yue, just ask the island and be a carefree island owner. ”

"Father!"

The old king, who has been strict with his three sons since he was a child, changed his style at this time, so that the eldest prince of Lao Cheng couldn't help but shed tears.

"I've never seen you cry since I was a child, even if the leather whip is whipped hard, I only grit my teeth and insist, are you seeing me off now?" Lao Wang smiled.

"You have a long life to live, and you will soon have a grandson, and you don't want to see what he looks like, is he as skinny as I was when I was a child?"

"I thought, but I don't have time, remember my words, if you can't bear it, you can be a free island owner, and you can die well......."

That's how the king left.

The boss opened the ventilation window that had been closed for a short time, and stared at the snowy mountain.

"Father is gone, what should we do?" The second child also came to the window, but his eyes were only on the group of people who were still watching.

"Do what you have to do. ”

In the auspicious military camp in the north of Xingfeng City, Zhang Peiyu was inspecting the recovery of the wounded soldiers, and he was very sad when he left two more yesterday.

The chief of staff was still directing the operation at the front, and he himself brought the wounded soldiers back to the battalion, and the burden was heavy.

Fortunately, most of the brothers survived, and with good food, their condition was stabilized and they gradually recovered.

Unlike auspiciousness, the Semu people used iron bullets instead of lead bullets.

This was a big relief.

If it was lead bullet, it would be fortunate that more than a thousand wounded soldiers could survive.

Now that the peak is turning, buckshot has turned into iron bullet, the survival rate of injuries and diseases has been greatly improved, and there are fewer deaths to be happy about the incident.

Just as he was thinking about how to ask the man in the city for some herbs, he heard nine bells ringing from the south.

"Old Wang?"

It was too sudden.

In Zhang Peiyu's impression, although Lao Wang is old, his spirit is still good, at least he can drink some wine every day, so he can leave anyway.

Soon after, Wang Ting came to inform Lao Wang of the news of his death, but did not explain too much.

The people of Hu Yue, who were still watching the Beijing view, heard the nine bells ringing, and turned their heads to look at the two-story building in the north, and through the open windows, they could clearly see the figures of people standing by the windows.

That's their new king.

According to Hu Yue's customs, the old king passed away, and the new king automatically succeeded to the throne, and there was no need to extravagantly waste any rituals.

Then, Xingfeng City has not diverged much because of the joy brought by Jingguan, and it has been replaced by the sorrow of Lao Wang's death, and now the city is white, and it is impossible to distinguish where is cloth and where is snow.

Zhang Peiyu went to the city to offer condolences on behalf of Wang Yu, who was still heading eastward.

The news of King Hu Yue's death spread quickly, and the people in the city were already wearing linen and filial piety, and there was a snow-white color everywhere, and he frowned.

Entering the two-story building on the north side of the square, Zhang Peiyu saw Lao Wang's shriveled face.

It's very different from a month ago.

If it weren't for the fact that his general appearance hadn't changed, Zhang Peiyu would have thought that someone else was impersonating.

At that time, although the old king was old, he had more than three or five months of life, and his sudden death made him very curious, so he subconsciously looked at the eldest prince on the side.

When the three eyes met, Zhang Peiyu saw the humility that flashed in the other party's eyes.

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "General Zhang, but you have something to ask?"

Zhang Peiyu replied: "Why did Lao Wang change so much from a month ago, could it be caused by a bad disease?"

The eldest prince shook his head, and after a while, he said: "Father has loved your 'Dream Auspicious' in recent years, and he must drink it every day. After the Semu Man came, one drink a day became three drinks a day, and his body was already empty. ”

With just these few sentences, Zhang Peiyu understood the reason, and he made up for the rest.

"My second brother and I have persuaded more than once, but my father didn't listen to him and insisted on ......doing so."

After Zhang Peiyu nodded, he didn't ask any more.

After burning the paper money, bowing a few times, and chatting with the eldest prince in a businesslike manner, he planned to go back to the barracks and stay with the brothers.

The wish was good, but the reality trapped him.

At this time, there were more and more people, some he knew and some he didn't, so he was tired of coping.

The auspicious victory has become the object of competition among the princes and ministers, and at this time I met the big red man and the great hero in front of me, and Hu Yue, who is good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, will easily let go.

So whether you recognize him or not, I will talk to him enthusiastically, and after patting myself enough, I will introduce myself by the way to leave an impression.

Zhang Peiyu spent the whole day on receiving entertainment, and when he returned to the barracks, it was already late.

Hu Yue's princes and nobles, sons and ministers were obviously panicked.

Zhang Peiyu can read the current turmoil in the political situation from their deliberately flattering tone, and see the uneasiness hidden under the glamorous exterior, and they are all looking for a way back.

At the end of March, Wang Xuan received the news of the death of Hu Yue's old king, and he picked up it and prepared to go to mourn.

In order to protect its integrity, the military department allocated another 1,000 troops to accompany it, and even sent ironclad ships that had been greatly renovated.

Wang Xuan went to Hu Yue this time, called to mourn Lao Wang, but in fact, he wanted to investigate the environment of Hu Yue on the spot, so that he knew it well.

This time, I didn't take the Xingyao River, but went north by sea.

Wang Xuan planned to block the back road of the Semu people first, and eat this wave of pioneers before their reinforcements arrived.

Xu Jibao bit the color eye fleet last time and bombarded it for a while, and damaged and destroyed nearly ten warships, and the total number of warships of the color eyes was less than eighty, so Wang Xuan only took thirty Type II warships to the north.

Along the way, there were no sentinel ships with colored eyes, and the speed of the whole fleet increased, and with full sails, it only took more than 20 days to enter the Huyue sea area.

At this time, the fleet can often see the stalking warships.

Due to the long distance, Jixiang did not open fire, let alone divide his troops to chase, and still hurried with his head down.

On 27 April, the auspicious fleet arrived at the mouth of the Beixingyao River, and was immediately shelled by the Semu coastal defense artillery.

"Knowing that the sea is not an opponent, he dismantled the cannon and placed it on the shore, but it was a chicken thief. Wang Xuan put down the binoculars and said with appreciation.

"Your Majesty, are we going to fight back?" Xu Jibao was already itching.

This is not an auspicious bay area, there are reinforced concrete forts for defense, and through the telescope, you can clearly see that the masonry forts are not thick, which is the limit of the Semu people.

"Replace it with a flowering bullet and play ten rounds to see the effect. ”

"Yes. ”

After pulling to a safe distance, the auspicious fleet lined up, the port side guns took off their gun jackets, the gun windows opened, and the barrels with black holes and thick bowl mouths stretched out.

The ironclad jerked back to the right, its hull tilting, and sliding out of the way.

The shore defense position of Semu in the west burst into flames, and in just one round, the strength of the counterattack was weakened by as much as 10%.

Wang Xuan and Xu Jibao witnessed this change, their expressions were relaxed, and the whole person relaxed.

The Semu people's fort protection is not very good, and this is an auspicious opportunity.

After ten rounds of fighting, there were not many gun positions that could still return fire, only a few scattered places remained, so the auspicious battleship began to gather fire and 'roll call'.

Wang Yu, who had already agreed, heard the rumbling cannon, and pressed in a big way, causing the Semu people to fall into a two-front battle.

The remaining dozens of warships of the Semu people were all blocked on the Xingyao River, and they had already launched a confrontation with the auspicious warships advancing eastward.

When Wang Xuan sailed into the North Star Yao River with his fleet, the Semu people surrendered.

When the number of people was finally counted, it was found that there were only more than 1,000 dead and alive, and the other 1,000 were gone, so the prisoners were interrogated.

This is not known for the trial, and the first instance was shocked.

When Wang Yu and the others had annihilated all the 7,000 Semu people, the leader of the Semu went north by boat.

"Do you have to ask where the reinforcements are going?" Wang Xuan asked the interrogating viper.

"Back to Your Majesty, the other party said that it should be these days. ”

Wang Xuan didn't care what the people who went north did, so he joined Wang Yu's department and went to Xingfeng City along the Xingyao River.

At the beginning of May, Wang Xuan arrived in Xingfeng City, and immediately mourned the old king, and delivered a 'sorrow' speech that lasted for half an hour.

Looking at the eldest prince's red eyes, Zhang Peiyu admired his majesty even more.
