Volume 2 Ye Goes with Autumn and Doesn't Know the Cold Chapter 154 Splendid Rivers and Mountains
The territory of the Chen State is not vast, and it is probably only the land of the three states of the Great Zhou, and it is not comparable to the Great Xia in the north.
But Rao is a small place like Linglong Pavilion, and there are also people who fight for their heads and blood, let alone Chen Guo?
Chen Tingzhu is dying.
The king, who was eloquent and strategic in the first half of his life, and indulged in wine in the second half of his life, finally came to the end of his life.
The death of a male lion is naturally a very regrettable thing.
But the lion cubs didn't have the slightest time to grieve for it, they had already planned their own plans, and they were ready to take over the throne, a symbol of supreme power.
As soon as the male lion breathed, the cubs would wait for the sharp claws to gnaw at his body.
Cruelty and desolation are the portrayal of almost every emperor's later years.
Chen Xuanji never thought that he would become one of these lion cubs, but he still came.
As the only son of Empress Mengyu and the seventh prince of Chen State, he took the 100,000 tigers and wolves in the hands of King Pingxi and rode back to Jinling, the capital of Chen State!
The whole Jinling was in turmoil at that time, and the princes who were still thinking of winning over the King of Pingxi were dumbfounded, and the Meng family changed from the fragrant and sweet food that everyone was competing for to their most powerful competitors.
Such a change made everyone panic, and for a while, there was an undercurrent surging in Jinling City.
......
"How about listening?" In the Pingxi Palace, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and sword eyebrows sat in the center of the main hall in a blue brocade robe, and Meng Liang, who lived in a black robe, sat opposite Chen Xuanji, who was dressed in white clothes and white hair.
A man in armor bowed down and bowed his head.
"Except for the crown prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, the other nine princes have no intention of participating in this matter, but behind the crown prince and the third prince are secretly supported by various military candidates, especially the crown prince, who seems to have faintly help from the Great Xia Dynasty. As for the Four Princesβ" The man hesitated slightly, as if he had some concerns.
"What's the matter? There's something you can't tell me?" Munch, who was dressed in a blue brocade robe, raised his eyebrows at that time, and asked very unpleasantly.
"No, the prince misunderstood. Hearing this, the man hurriedly said: "There are only a few courtiers behind the four princes, but the power that can be called upon is indeed the head of many princes. And the biggest supporter behind him seems to be a force in the rivers and lakes..."
"Jianghu forces, the biggest sect of my Dachen is my master Lishan Sword Sect, and I don't dare to say that I can participate in the battle for imperial power, where is there such a capable behemoth?" Meng Liang on the side frowned when he heard this, obviously very suspicious of what this man said.
"It seems that the forces of the rivers and lakes are not from the Chen State, but from the Great Zhou. The man said respectfully.
"Great Zhou?" Meng Liang frowned, his trip to Great Zhou, he can be regarded as having seen the various sects of Great Zhou, just say that there is the first sect Linglong is really magnificent, much stronger than the Lishan Sword Sect, but to say that this Linglong Pavilion can participate in the battle for the succession of Chen Guo, it is too unrealistic.
"Senluo Temple. But just when Meng Liang was secretly puzzled, Chen Xuanji, who was silent on the side, suddenly spit out these three words.
"How does Your Highness know?" The man who was half-kneeling at the door of the mansion was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Chen Xuanji in surprise.
"What kind of place is the Senluo Palace?" Munch on the high platform frowned, not knowing much about the Senluo Hall that suddenly came out.
"A similar intelligence and killer agency in the Great Zhou Dynasty has suddenly grown in recent years, black and white, and it is intertwined in the states and counties of the Zhou Dynasty, and it seems that it has a lot of connections with the Long Night Division. Chen Xuanji said at that time, but he didn't know much about that mysterious organization.
Meng Liang on the side heard this, his heart chuckled, and he suddenly remembered that the purple-eyed girl who followed his cheap master seemed to be someone in power in Senluo Palace. His heart moved, and he was about to say something, but at this time, Munch, who was on the high platform, waved his hand.
"Hmph, whether it's the Long Night Division, or the Senluo Palace, my tiger and wolf ride can break Li Yulin's dream of opening up the territory and expanding the territory in the Spring and Autumn Period, and I can also cut the tricks of the ghosts. At that time, the body of the king of Pingxi, who had been up and down in the Chen Kingdom for many years, was shocked, and a vast domineering momentum poured out, but it made Meng Liang, who still wanted to say more, subconsciously shut up.
There was a sudden silence in the Pingxi Palace, only the white-clothed and white-haired Chen Xuanji glanced at the man on the high platform lightly.
Meng Ke is only middle-aged, and his strength has long surpassed that of ordinary Great Yan Realm martial artists, can this mere King of Pingxi really satisfy his uncle's ambitions?
He thought secretly, his heart sank, but his face was silent.
......
Chengding Town is located behind Dahuangcheng, only 100 miles away from Dahuangcheng.
Here, it is not prosperous, in Liangzhou, which is densely populated with high cities, Chengding Town is only one of the most inconspicuous ones.
But tonight, Chengding Town is particularly lively.
On the flat ground outside the town, the bonfire was in full swing, driving the night away, and the dense military camp seemed to be out of sight, and the sound of the collision of the armor of the soldiers who came and went on patrol was clear, and the cold light of the swords and halberds in their hands was dazzling.
The people of Chengding Town, who had never seen such a scene, couldn't sleep tonight.
Of course, they can't sleep either, and they're not the only ones.
Xu Han, who was dressed in gray, hugged Xuan'er and strolled outside the barracks.
The freshness of the first arrival in a different place passed, and the black cat that had been wild for a long time surged up, lying quietly in Xu Han's arms, squinting his eyes and falling asleep, and his throat couldn't stop making a "purring" sound. Xuan'er seems to like to make such a sound when she is asleep, but Xu Han doesn't know if it's like this for all cats in the world, or if it's just his Xuan'er family.
It has been 17 days since they came out of Chang'an, and in these 17 days, they have walked 17 cities, and the soldiers and horses in their hands have turned from 700 Tiance government troops to 30,000 troops in front of them, and the grain and grass they have obtained are also extremely abundant.
Of course, the 30,000 army is still a drop in the bucket compared to the number of enemy troops that Dahuangcheng is about to face.
What's more...
Thinking of this, Xu Han couldn't help but turn his head to look at the camp.
The 30,000 people who were temporarily gathered on their feet, compared to the Tiance Mansion army that were all at least in the Sanyuan Realm, said that the crooked melons and cracked dates were a little bit of lifting up these 30,000 soldiers who were snatched from various towns.
Most of their cultivation is just the cultivation of the original Aquarius Realm or the Danyang Realm, Xu Han doesn't know whether his vision is too high or ordinary soldiers are cultivating like this, but these 30,000 people are honest, and they really don't satisfy Xu Han.
Although he did not understand the march and fight, he understood that the most important thing in the march was an order and a prohibition.
And these 30,000 people obviously did not have such an awareness, and even escaped in the past few days.
Thinking of this, Xu Han's eyebrows sank, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
This action accidentally alarmed the black cat that was already sleeping in his arms, and the little guy looked straight at Xu Han with wide amber eyes at that time, as if wondering what made him so annoyed, but its little head couldn't understand these things after all, so it could only lightly jump on Xu Han's shoulder, and rubbed Xu Han's neck with his head to comfort him.
"Okay, it's fine. Xu Han was a little tickled by it, and hurriedly smiled and comforted.
"I heard that Mu Ji has come to Dahuangcheng with 300,000 troops, and it seems that we will have to leave for Dahuangcheng tomorrow. At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from my ears.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes to look, but saw that Zhou Zhang, who was dressed in white, was already standing behind him at some point.
"Brother Zhou hasn't slept so late?" Xu Han asked with a smile.
"I can't sleep!" Zhou Zhang walked slowly to Xu Han's side and glanced at the camp where the 30,000 soldiers gathered, "How can you sleep..."
Xu Han heard the heaviness in Zhou Zhang's tone, and he nodded lightly. "I heard that Mu Ji's move was to avenge the Mu family's murder case, and it seems that he has already released his words, as long as I wish the lives of Xian and the emperor..."
When Zhou Zhang heard this, he glanced at Xu Han sideways, as if he had seen something extremely interesting, he blinked, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "Brother Xu, is this testing Zhou?"
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head. "It's not a temptation, it's just curiosity, doesn't Brother Zhou hate Zhu Xian and that one?"
These words seem to have made many things clear.
Zhou Zhang also knew that he couldn't hide it from Xu Han, and he didn't defend much, but he just smiled and said, "How can you not hate the pain of extermination?"
"Then Brother Zhou still wants to go with me to guard the Great Yellow City?" Xu Han was puzzled.
The smile on Zhou Zhang's face was even worse. "Brother Xu thinks that the Xia army outside Dahuang City and the rebel army of the king of Northern Xinjiang are 700,000, why is there only 300,000 troops coming to the pool?"
Hearing this, Xu Han shook his head.
"Everyone in the world knows that once the Great Yellow City is broken, the Great Zhou is in danger, but the vassal kings and state pastors from all walks of life are not leading troops? Zhu Xian is still in Chang'an, not in a hurry?"
Zhou Zhang asked again.
Xu Han naturally could only shake his head again.
"Zhu Xian can be in charge of the government and the opposition for so many years, in addition to intrigues and tricks, there is also the Long Night Division under him. β
"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned, of course he knew that Zhu Xian's Changye Division was a behemoth that now Da Zhou covered the sky with one hand, but he didn't understand what this matter had to do with the danger of Dahuang City?
"The Long Night Division is divided into four parts: Greedy Wolf, Canglong, White Phoenix, and Green Fox. β
"The four departments perform their own duties, and the green fox is the place where the strategists of the Long Night Division gather, among which the green fox is the imperial envoy Xuanluo, who is clever and calculating, and is said to have worshiped under the supreme real person of the Taiyin Palace. β
"The White Phoenix Department is the intelligence agency of the Long Night Division, and the imperial envoy of the White Phoenix Department, Ran Qingyi, although she is a woman, her background is extremely mysterious, and there are few things in the world that can be hidden from her ears and eyes. β
"As for the Greedy Wolf Department, presumably the Gongsun Ming Xu brother at the Dao Conference must be impressed. He is in charge of no more than 1,000 greedy wolf departments, which can be regarded as the least number of the four, but the most feared one in the world. On the surface, it is the investigation and arrest of the Long Night Division, but secretly those who can't see it are all acting in this department, and everyone in the department is one of the best assassins. β
"The last Canglong Division..."Speaking of this, Zhou Zhang paused, and then said again: "Its imperial envoy Xue Qinguan has 250,000 Canglong troops, which can be described as the most elite troops in the Great Zhou, and it is not much better than the Tiance Mansion army. β
When Xu Han heard this, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to have figured it out a little.
"Zhu Xian's thoughts are known to everyone in the world, and Lin Shou of Dahuang City can be described as the last obedient sword in the hands of the royal family. As soon as Lin Shou dies, the vassal kings will inevitably turn away from each other, and at that time, the luck of the Great Zhou will collapse, and Zhu Xian's goal will naturally be achieved, and then he will transfer the Canglong Army to deal with the Mujia Army who fought with Lin Shou, killing three birds with one stone, you said that such a good calculation is placed there, how can he have the slightest panic?"
"As for that Cui Dazhu, he, in his heart, he has a grand plan to dominate the industry, but he is scheming. I didn't dare to touch Lin Shou's stinky and hard stone, thinking that driving the situation to attack Dahuang City was a good calculation to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but I didn't know that these had already fallen into Zhu Xian's hands. β
Zhou Zhang said this, and let out another long sigh. "In the final analysis, in fact, everyone in the world is waiting, waiting for that old General Lin to die..."
Hearing this, Xu Han looked at the faintly visible majestic giant city in the distance, he had never met Lin Shou, but an old general who was nearly eighty years old, with an army of 100,000, stood on the isolated island surrounded by tigers and wolves outside, such a scene, just thinking about it, Xu Han also secretly felt dull in his heart.
"So, what I want to help is not him Zhu Dashou, nor is it the emperor of his Yuwen family. β
"What I want to help is the Great Yellow City, the Lin Shou on the Great Yellow City, the millions of people behind Lin Shou..."
"The splendid rivers and mountains that my herdsman has watched over for generations..."
