Previous Chapter: Chapter 693 The Boulder Descends from the Sky Next Chapter: Chapter 695 Heavenly Fire Burns the City

It's just a short hour, and the 'gate' of the north city has been smashed beyond recognition, and it's a mess!

The city wall has collapsed and a large 'hole' nearly 100 meters long, and the fire in the city is several miles away from the 'gate' of the city, and the fire takes advantage of the wind to rush into the city!

With the sound of the 'excited' war drums, the stones on the mountain had stopped, and the Xuanjun army became a vanguard in the middle of the road, shouting and rushing towards Tuwan City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info. The update is so fast.

At the top of Baitou Mountain, Xue Taoliang was already sitting on the ground, his face was pale and almost transparent, and all his tears and snot flowed out, looking very embarrassed. I was sweating profusely, and my clothes were all soaked. He looked at the 'gate' of the northern city, which had turned into a mess, and kept saying: "Impossible! Why is this happening? How can it become like this? Tens of thousands of defenders have not fired a single arrow, and the city has been broken?"

Xuan Bao didn't speak, and he didn't even look at the situation of Tuwan at all, he was afraid that he would order an attack because he was soft-hearted! At this time, he must not be soft-hearted, because if he can't take Tuwan by thunderous means, he won't be able to deter Denghua next to him!

To be soft-hearted to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself! Now Xuanbao already knows this truth very well, so it must play a shocking role in order to reduce the casualties of the Xuanjun army!

Tuwan City has been broken! Losing the support of the city wall, it is simply wishful thinking to fight against 200,000 Xuan troops with only tens of thousands!

When the Xuan army entered the city, those who surrendered were not killed, and those who resisted were immediately beheaded! All the people went home, reorganized and surrendered troops, cleaned up the battlefield, posted notices, and re-established the ya'men', and all the work was carried out in an intense and orderly manner.

Xuanbao did not rush down the mountain, but walked from the top of the mountain to the other side, looking at Denghua City under the mountain. It was almost noon, and the sun was like a furnace hanging not far above their heads, baking everyone.

Ya Wubian wiped the sweat on his face and said to Xuanbao: "Emperor, if we take Tuwan, we can evacuate, Denghua City... It's not easy to attack!"

One-third of the ten-day period has passed, and after resting for two more days, it will be time to set off and return to Panda, and there is no time to attack Denghua.

What's more, the geographical location of Denghua City is different from Tuwan, and it is far away from Baitou Mountain, so that an effective offensive means against Tuwan will be useless to Denghua!

Even if you let go of this place for the time being, and wait to take the copper city, you will turn around and come back here, and when the time comes, you will still have to attack, and you will also face the problems you are encountering now!

Ya Wubian sighed and said: "Nanpingbu, Tuwan oil, Denghua wine! This is the Three Treasures of the Central Plains, Tuwan's oil has not come in handy, but Denghua's wine cannot be taken lightly! This kind of wine is a strong wine, and after purification, it is easier to burn than tung oil! I have to guard against it!"

Xuanbao looked at Denghua City in the distance, pondered for a long time, turned to Ya Wubian and said: "Immediately ask the ghost hand to use the power of the beggar gang to draw a map of Denghua, and if you want a long-term map of this mountain, it must be completed before noon tomorrow, and then 'handed' it to the earth kite and send it to the camp of the Xuanjun army in Panda, and ask the military advisor and Baisheng to study the way to break the city!

"Hiss!" Ya Wubian gasped, listening to the emperor's meaning, this is to be determined to defeat Denghua before leaving! But there are still seven short days, is it really worth 'spending' a relatively large price to capture Denghua? After all, taking Tuwan is enough to contain Denghua!

Xuanbao didn't want to stop there, since the flames of war had burned here, there was no reason to stop! It was inevitable to take Denghua, leaving a thorn in his back, and it would only be himself who would suffer in the end!

Another reason is that Xuanbao doesn't want to keep the ghost hand waiting too long. The beggar brother did his best to help, if he turned around and left after beating Tuwan, the ghost hand is likely to have a bad heart, Xiaobao doesn't want to lose this good brother!

So to achieve your own wishes as much as possible within the specified time, this is what Xuanbao wants to do now! No city is truly impregnable, as long as you find its weakness, it is easy to break it, Tuwan is an example!

As soon as Tuwan was captured, just like Nanping, the streets and alleys were full of Xuan soldiers, and the big 'doors' of every household were closed, and no one dared to go to the streets.

Xuanjun wrote his discipline and the system that the people needed to abide by on the red list and posted it on the streets and alleys, explaining the interests and disadvantages, and showing the righteousness.

It can be seen that the people of Tuwan are really rich, and one of the manifestations of wealth is that they are well-informed. Only by 'dealing' with different people can they make money, so they are bolder than the people of Nanping.

And they seem to have heard some things about the Xuan Army, with Nanping City as an example in front, there are not so many scruples, the second day after the Xuan Army occupied the territory bay, there were already bold shops who opened the 'door' to do business, and others saw that the Xuan Army not only did not rob, but also took out the silver to buy things in a proper manner, and they all followed suit, and there were more and more stores that opened the 'door'!

In the Tuwan Mansion, Xue Taoliang sat under the old locust tree behind him, like a stump! Although he returned home, his current appearance has changed even worse than in Xuanying!

The Xuan army has occupied the territory bay for two days and one night, but he has not yet recovered from yesterday's shock! As soon as he closed his eyes, the sound of the big stone roaring down in his ears was in his ears, and in his mind was the miserable scene of the Tuwan defenders being smashed by the big stone!

The Tuwan city wall, which had been painstakingly prepared for several days and had been 'finely' operated for several years, was turned into a ruin in one hour, with more than 20,000 dead and wounded on the spot! The Xuan army occupied Tuwan City without firing a single arrow, and the original "iron bucket-like defense" became a joke!

How could this be? Why is this happening? I, Xue Taoliang, have been eating the monarch for many years, and I have ended up like this, and even affected hundreds of thousands of people in Tuwan City!

Your Majesty, the guilty minister is sorry for you, the crime deserves to die! Xue Taoliang trembled and picked up a dagger on the stone table next to him, which was given to him by his younger brother Xue Taosheng when he was serving as the governor.

However, later Xue Taosheng was almost killed because he offended the officials in the court, and donated all his family property, and it was the old prime minister who saw that he had always been upright and had no 'selfishness' and no 'selfishness', so he came forward to intercede to protect him, which left a life!

The brothers have had a good relationship since childhood, and now the younger brother is completely dependent on him as an elder brother to help him barely survive, and now his younger brother wants to serve the court, take the first step, not only his wife and children are unattended, but even the younger brother's family is likely to become beggars!

Xue Taoliang closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, if he wanted to die, he had to take care of it as soon as possible, and finally took away his wife and children, maybe he would come back later, but he couldn't die if he wanted to, and there was no way to talk about this name of loyalty!

"Huh!" The dagger that sharpened iron like clay was raised, and Xue Taoliang was about to stab it in the 'chest' with a ruthless heart, but he heard a person outside the moon 'door' calling softly: "Is Lord Xue at home?"

Xue Taoliang's hands trembled, and the dagger couldn't be pierced, knowing that he would never be able to let go of his wife and children, he sighed, threw the dagger aside, and responded stupidly: "Who!"

A person came from outside, looked at him with a smile and said, "Lord Xue, it's been a long time!"

Xue Taoliang hurriedly stood up, but he stood aside, and behind him, a person walked in, but it was Xuanbao!

Facing Xuanbao, Xue Taoliang looked embarrassed. He is now the master of Tuwan City, but he, the former prefect, has become a prisoner, but he doesn't live in a prison!

What surprised him even more was that there was still someone behind Xuanbao, and this person turned out to be his own brother Xue Taosheng! How did this kid get together with Xuanbao and them?

Xuan Bao walked in front of Xue Taoliang, his eyes fell on the dagger on the ground next to him, and a smile appeared on his face, but he didn't speak.

Xue Taosheng stepped forward, picked up the dagger from the ground, and said to Xue Taoliang: "Brother, why did you come out with this knife in a good manner?"

Xue Taoliang didn't bother to deal with this younger brother who was getting more and more spineless, he just snorted, frowned and asked him, "What are you doing here?"

Xue Taosheng put the dagger into the sheath, put it aside, looked at Xue Taoliang and said, "Brother, I accompanied Lord Xuanzun to find you, I want to ask you to continue to serve as the prefect of Tuwan!"

"Huh?" Xue Tao's bright eyes were about to pop out, he looked at Xue Taosheng in surprise, and asked him in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

Xue Taosheng smiled slightly, looked at Xue Taoliang and said, "Lord Xuanzun wants to ask you to continue to serve as the prefect of Tuwan, but I am afraid that you will not agree, so please ask me to persuade you!"

Xue Taoliang's heart was pounding, what did Xuan Bao mean? Didn't he know that I, Xue Taoliang, was an official of the Yin Dynasty? He still dared to use me? Could he be entertaining me? But looking at Xuan Bao's precious eyes, he didn't feel like a joke!

Xuan Bao smiled and arched his hand and said, "Lord Xue may wish to think about it, Xuan Bao is sincerely invited." Tuwan has become rich and peaceful under the governance of Lord Xue, this is Lord Xue's ability! Xuan Bao doesn't want to 'waste' talents, so he asked Lord Xue to continue to serve as the prefect of Tuwan!"

Ya Wubian next to him said with a smile: "Emperor Zun also appointed your younger brother as the prefect of Nanping, and your Xue family will be the home of the eunuch again in the future!"

Xue Taoliang's body was shocked, and he looked at Xue Taosheng in surprise, but saw that he had tears in his eyes and nodded at himself. He, the elder brother, of course knows how much his brother has been wronged and suffered over the years, although he doesn't say it, but he is even dreaming of a comeback!

Now that the opportunity has come, my younger brother will not let it go! He has been competitive since he was a child, and he will never let himself become a disgrace to the Xue family, so no matter who he is loyal to, as long as he is given a chance, he will take advantage of it!

Looking at the two brothers' 'excited' appearance, Xuanbao and Ya Wubian also looked at each other and smiled. This matter needs to be discussed by the two brothers themselves, so Xuan Bao also knew that he was in a hurry, and said to Xue Taoliang with a smile: "Lord Xue can think about it slowly, and it will not be too late to tell me when it is thought about clearly!"

A small prefect, but the master of Xuanjun personally came to the 'door' to invite, even if he Xue Taoliang is high, he really can't pretend to be at this moment! Looking at Xuanbao's sincere eyes, Xue Taoliang counted his nose and arched his hand and said: "Does Xuanzun laugh at me, Xue Mou, who is greedy for power and addicted to 'obsessed' officialdom?"

Xuan Bao laughed, shook his head and said, "Lord Xue is serious! Lord Xue just wants to realize the value of this life, watching the people of a city become peaceful and satisfied under his own governance, and he has no 'desire' for power and no heart for great wealth, which will only make me admire, how can he make me laugh?"

Xue Taoliang fell to his knees all of a sudden, tears welling up in his face, he couldn't imagine that his bosom friend was actually his original enemy! Moved, he fell down and shouted: "Minister, swear allegiance to the emperor!"
