Chapter 66: The King of War
"What the hell are you trying to say?" replied the Emperor irritably.
"Do you want to give an order to kill the king of war?" said the father-in-law.
"Killing, killing!?" The emperor gritted his teeth, but the words in his heart were stuck in his throat, and it was difficult for him to speak.
The March period has indeed arrived, but how can the war king be killed at this time? This war king is not dead, so let the vassal countries in the south jointly invade the southern border, and the Chiji Empire in the north and the Qianyue Empire in the west are also gathering heavy troops on the border.
The expression on His Majesty the Emperor's face changed again and again, and finally he finally spoke in a low voice, "King of War." ”
In the prison, regarding the chaos in the outside world, the jailer always reported to the king of war in a timely manner. The expression of the war king did not change and was flat, but Lin Yin and Han Jiangyi were more and more surprised in their hearts, the power of this war king had reached such a point. Just being thrown into the heavenly prison, and before he died, all the hostile forces around the Yunyang Empire had moved. And the enemy army in the south drove straight in, taking the Yunyang Empire by surprise.
If the War King has already been executed, then these hostile forces will probably immediately send troops to attack the Yunyang Empire.
It is unimaginable how much the war king of the year frightened these enemies, so that the other party would feel that the Yunyang Empire was without the war king, and he was the object of bullying at will.
When Lin Yin and Han Jiangyi were shocked by the might of the war king, the emperor's edict came to the heavenly prison, "Declare war on the king's palace." ”
The king of war didn't seem to have any accidents, and took Lin Yin and Han Jiangyi, along with his father-in-law who delivered the decree, left the prison and walked towards the palace.
Above the main hall, now the civil ministers and military generals are all worried, and His Majesty the Emperor has a gloomy face. The war king lightly swept over the generals above the main hall, and there were indeed few familiar faces.
"Shen Zhan, the March period has arrived, what else do you have to say?" His Majesty the Emperor stared at the King of War and spoke.
"Nope. The War King replied indifferently.
The War King's answer made the emperor's face even more gloomy, and he spoke again after half a sound, "Now that the enemy army in the south has exceeded 150,000, and it has connected two counties and sixty-nine cities, what do you think about this matter?"
"I'm already a dying man, what does it matter to me?" replied the War King.
"Shen Zhan!" the emperor suddenly burst into tears, "Don't be too rampant!"
"What do you mean by that?" the War King remained indifferent.
"You ......" the emperor pointed at the war king, his face was red and white, and finally a few words popped out from between his teeth, "I can give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
"Oh. The king of war replied calmly.
The emperor clenched his fists, but he couldn't bear it, he looked at the attitude of the king of war, didn't he have no fear? But now that the emperor really wants to use the king of war, he can only endure it.
"How many people will you need if you put an end to the rebellion in the southern border?" the emperor began.
"How much are you going to give me?" replied the War King.
"One hundred thousand, only one hundred thousand, the Chiji Empire in the north is already gathering heavy troops, and the Qianyue Empire in the west is also moving, I can't transfer garrisons from other places. And in this large camp forty miles outside Cloud Mirror City, there are 100,000 soldiers who can be dispatched by you. The Emperor spoke hatefully. It was only 300,000 elite soldiers, but it became 100,000 in the emperor's mouth.
The War King's expression was flat, and he didn't say anything. However, the emperor did not have the patience to do so, and immediately asked, "100,000 elite soldiers, it can be said that it is easy to quell the rebellion in the southern border, what are you hesitating about, Shen Zhan? Do you know that the rebellion in the southern border is just a miscellaneous army of a few small affiliated countries." ”
"Oh, then, such an easy matter, why doesn't His Majesty the Emperor find someone else?" replied the War King.
"Although the rebellion in the southern realm is not on my mind, it is about the enemies of the other three realms, and I think you know that this battle must end quickly, win beautifully, and win quickly enough. The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the thought in his heart and wanted to twist the head of the war king directly.
"So, what happens after this battle?" replied the War King.
"If you're pretty enough, I'll save you from death. The Emperor said.
"Doesn't seem to be too bad. The War King said.
"You have no right to refuse, either die now, or after this battle, I will spare your life. The Emperor replied.
"There is some truth. "However, I have a few requests. ”
"Shen Zhan, don't go too far. This time it's not for you to lead the world's soldiers and horses to fight any big war, this battle can be won by others, but I want you to come forward to deter. The Emperor said.
"First, among the 100,000 soldiers, generals at all levels need to be personally selected by me. The War King spoke to himself.
"I think you're bent on death, right?" the emperor looked unkind.
"That's the most basic requirement for me to play. The tone of the war king was non-negotiable.
The atmosphere was a little depressing for a while, and finally the emperor spoke again, "The person you want to choose, do you have eyebrows?"
"Former general, Shi Shi. General Zuo, Ding Zheng. Right General, Li Yangde. Pioneer General ......"
"That's enough!" Before the War King could finish speaking, His Majesty the Emperor interrupted angrily, "You have asked for this. ”
The war king stopped, but he had no intention of speaking again, and just looked at the emperor from afar.
It is no wonder that the emperor is so angry, this Shi Shi is now in charge of the re-leaving guard, Ding Zheng is the commander of the re-leaving guard, and this Li Yangde is now in charge of the re-leaving Wei Yan department. These three people are not only the old department of the war king, but also the old department of Mu Chengxiu.
At the same time, two of these three people are martial cultivators of the Martial Venerable Realm, and one is the Nine Heavens of the Martial King Realm. Although those two martial cultivators of the Martial Venerable Realm were only at the beginning of the Martial Venerable Realm. But the entire Yunyang Empire is only a dozen or so Martial Venerable Realm, and every Martial Venerable Realm martial cultivator is extremely important to the Yunyang Empire.
One Martial Venerable Realm cultivator is enough to be worth tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers.
"Boom out!" exclaimed the Emperor. And the war king was still calm, raised his legs and left, leaving the main hall.
Three days after this unpleasant conversation, there was a military situation in Xiangdong County, and the five cities of Xiangdong County had been captured by enemy troops from the south. His Majesty the Emperor looked at this military situation again and again, but it was still hard to believe.
Xiangdong County, this is no longer a county town close to the south. If Xiangdong County is completely captured, then Cloud Mirror City will really be ready to face the enemy in the south.
And His Majesty the Emperor couldn't believe it, how could this enemy in the south seem to be coming towards Cloud Mirror City? From the first military information to now, the enemy army in the south is really advancing too fast. It's not as simple as looting anymore. Even now that it has reached Xiangdong County, this large area south of Xiangdong County, even if it is given to those small affiliated countries, I am afraid it will be difficult to have enough manpower to manage it.
An invasion is nothing more than an invasion of territory and the plundering of money and food. Even the three major empires of that year, after capturing the next city and a pool, would take a short rest to appease the people in the city, leaving some of their own people to manage the city. Otherwise, what's the use of taking down an empty city?
