readx;? In the blink of an eye, March has passed like a shuttle, and the late autumn has passed and the cold winter is approaching, in addition to the cold weather that makes people shudder, there is also a shocking disaster that seems to be worse in the holy area. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

That is, the war in the north is raging, and the people of the holy region are miserable, and the people are not able to make a living. As we all know, the 200,000 Sacred Domain army led by Yan Lie personally has been fighting with Lan Shixun's 250,000 army for more than four months in the North County as the center and radiating within a radius of 500 miles, and more than 100 large and small battles have broken out between the men and horses of the two sides in the North County area. But the largest of them were the three head-to-head battles with more than 200,000 direct participants, and these three head-to-head confrontations naturally determined the final success or failure of the two sides.

Although some people in the Holy Domain have already predicted in advance that there may be a slight gap between the two sides in terms of the strength of soldiers and horses, but after all, what Yan Lie led is a royal division under the banner of the Holy Domain Emperor, and everywhere he passes can not get the support of the people, at least in the march food and grass will not be scarce, and it is fighting in the territory of the Holy Domain, it stands to reason that it should have taken advantage of the right time, place and people, even if there is a gap of 50,000 horses with Lan Shixun's rebels, but through these conditions, it can be made up to some extent. In fact, not only the people of the Holy Domain thought so, but even the Holy North King Yanlie himself was convinced of this, so he dared to personally lead the royal division north to face Lan Shixun, bent on fighting Lan Shixun in the area of Beijun, so that he could become famous in one battle and completely establish his immortal fame.

However, the truth is not as good as Yan Lie thinks, although Yan Lie is full of confidence, but he has 200,000 elite soldiers in his hands, but he has not been able to find a real good general, Yan Lie himself is a nobody, arrogant to the point of being a prince and noble, even if there are some strategists around him who know how to use soldiers to give him some advice, Yan Lie also turned a deaf ear, and always insisted on going his own way according to his own ideas, in fact, as the commander of the army, Yan Lie's obstinate behavior is not the most terrible, and the most fearful is that the self-righteous Yan Lie does not know how to use soldiers at all, and even does not know how to run soldiers at all, and is the wisdom that a general should haveBenevolence, faithfulness, courage, and strictness, none of them can achieve it.

Not only that, but all the commanders and generals in the barracks have all been replaced by Yan Lie's own clan confidants, these powerful sons have no other skills, but the ability to manipulate right and wrong to eradicate dissidents is very clever, and for a while the people in the army are panicked, and everyone in the camp is in danger, where can anyone practice seriously? The atmosphere in the barracks is like that in the palace, the soldiers are falling apart, and there is even more intrigue between the big and small commanders, plus a person who does not know astronomy, geography, Qimen, Yin and Yang, The general who does not watch the formation diagram and does not control the strength of the army is fierce, and the result is naturally that the soldiers are not brave, the generals are bad, the hearts are not aligned, and the strategy is not wise!

Although Yan Lie has been the King of the Holy North for decades, he has not even really held a sword and spear a few times, let alone led an army of 200,000 to fight. It's okay for him to talk about it, but once hundreds of thousands of horses really fight bloodily, Yan Lie's heart will already be empty. And those generals who were replaced by him are all masters of eating, drinking, and having fun on weekdays, how many of them have really seen this kind of formation? One by one, they were all supported by the soldiers on the horse, and the legs of the horses on the horse could not help but be weak, and the horses were directly frightened by the formation of hundreds of thousands of people on the opposite side in front of the two armies, and they were directly frightened and couldn't even speak, sometimes they were shouted by the fierce generals of the other side, and these powerful sons would even be scared to pee their pants, and then their faces turned white, and they rolled their eyes and fell directly from the horse, and the war had not yet started but the generals had been directly frightened, which was by no means a half-star blow to morale.

In the sound of complete fighting and wailing in the earth-shattering sky, without the command of the general, the 200,000 army is a plate of scattered sand, throwing away their armor and fleeing in all directions, only to let the other party slaughter, and Yan Lie was even more frightened to retreat again and again, and he did not dare to take the lead in charging into battle, the so-called defeat is like a mountain, and it is really suitable to describe Yan Lie's army!

According to Chu Lingtian's words, at the beginning, they may have fought with the Yanlie army, but in the next few months, it became a one-sided massacre, and Lan Shixun would even often arrange some second- and third-rate generals in the army to lead the army to meet Yanlie, because in Lan Shixun's view, the Yanlie army was the best opportunity to practice the courage of the soldiers. This is also enough to see how disdainful Lan Shixun is for Yan Lie in his heart.

In the three head-to-head battles between Yan Lie and Lan Shixun, Yan Lie's 200,000 army ended in a crushing defeat without any surprise. In the first game, Chu Lingtian personally led an army to kill and capture 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses. Two months later, he encountered the black armor army of the beast clan, and was directly killed by Wei Li in the second large-scale battle, killing forty or fifty thousand people. In the last decisive battle, Yan Lie directly faced Lan Shixun, and after three days and two nights of fighting, the remaining * 10,000 remnants of Yan Lie's army were also harvested by Lan Shixun.

After three major battles, the remaining personal soldiers in the hands of Yan Lie, who retreated in a hurry, were less than a thousand, and the 200,000 army was captured by Lan Shixun. On the other hand, after Lan Shixun's army experienced three battles, his army only had 50,000 casualties, but not only that, but he also succeeded in persuading nearly 100,000 prisoners in the end, so that Lan Shixun's soldiers and horses After a bloody battle, the 250,000 army was not reduced, but also expanded to nearly 300,000 because of the surrender of prisoners, which was also an outcome that everyone never expected.

In the end, Yan Lie and his hundreds of personal soldiers were besieged by Lan Shixun like a cat and mouse in the Shengbei Palace, and after trying to break through a few times, there were only a dozen soldiers left around Yan Lie, and they were all wounded. In the end, Yan Lie, who knew that he had no power to return to the sky, actually killed the men, women and children in the house with his own hands, and after he killed all his family members, he took the remaining dozen cronies out of the palace gate with a sword, looking at the thousands of enemy troops outside the palace gate, Yan Lie was not timid for the first time, it is undeniable that he really did a man who stood up to the sky this time, under the contemptuous eyes of Lan Shixun and others, Yan Lie thought that he had no face to face the emperor Yan Chong, and he had no face to face the ancestors of the royal family, and finally drew his sword to kill himself, and died to thank the world!

And on this day, the first snow in the Beijun area drifted, and the scorching corpses fell in a holy snow, allowing the red blood to stain the white snow, rendering the most bewitching and gorgeous scene in the holy area!

The news soon spread to the Jinling Imperial City, the cold winter season made the entire Jinling City have fallen into a piece of ice and snow, the outside of the palace is covered with snow, and the hall is full of blazing copper furnaces, the huge Golden Palace set off the warmth.

Early in the morning, the emperor Yan Chong, who was wearing a mink velvet, finally helped the sick to go to court, he sat on the throne with a pale face, although the hall was very warm by the copper furnace, and he himself was wearing a lot of thick robes, but Yan Chong, who was sitting there, still looked a little trembling, and his body was really a little weak. He listened to the spies' report word by word with trembling eyes, and when he learned that Yan Lie had died in Beijun to apologize, two lines of hot tears couldn't help but roll down his slightly cloudy old eyes.

At this moment, Yan Chong's heart was indescribable, both with contempt for Yan Lie's self-righteousness, and with grief for the death of his brother, of course, more because Yan Lie had lost his 200,000 Sanctuary army in vain.

After the spies reported the battle in Beijun, the Golden Palace fell into a strange silence, the Holy West King Yan Zheng, the Holy South King Yan Hao, and many Sacred Domain ministers stood in the hall without saying a word, everyone's eyes were focused on the body of the Emperor Yan Chong, and no one dared to speak easily. Looking at Yan Chong again, his eyes were blank and slightly hollow looking at the ground, and he didn't notice it at all when he let two lines of hot tears wet his fur collar.

Seeing this, Yan Zheng's eyes couldn't help but flash a strange light, and then he first waved his hand casually at the spies kneeling in the hall, signaling him to retreat. Then he stepped forward and said to Yan Chong: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Holy North King suffered this defeat is also something that everyone expected, and I hope that Your Majesty will take care of your body and don't ......."

"No need to say more!" Without waiting for Yan Zheng's words to finish, Yan Chong slowly shook his head, and said lightly, "A few months ago, this emperor was sick in bed, and the power of the court was handed over to the hands of your three holy kings, Yan Lie, as your brother, is naturally the sole power, what he wants to do, no one can stop him except this emperor, it is the emperor's mistake, and the emperor's mistake is that he shouldn't be sick at this time......

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Yan Chong's words came out, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty fell to the ground one after another, and their tones were full of grief.

"Your Majesty must not blame yourself, in the final analysis, this matter is because of that Lan Shixun's trickery, so Yan Lie regretted to lose to him!" Seeing this, Yan Hao hurriedly opened his mouth and comforted.

Hearing Yan Hao's words, Yan Chong couldn't help but raise his eyelids slightly, and then said with a smile: "Lan Shixun is scheming......? In terms of strategy, in terms of city government, and in terms of commanding soldiers, Lan Shixun is much stronger than us people! If he is the emperor and I am a minister, then I will never have a chance to oppose him in my life!"

"Hiss!" Yan Chong's high evaluation of Lan Shixun made the ministers in the palace gasp, you must know that now Lan Shixun is not a courtier, but a traitor, and the emperor can give such a high affirmation to a traitor, which shows how jealous Yan Chong is of Lan Shixun in his heart.

"Your Majesty, after Lan Shixun's army defeated Yan Lie, it went all the way south, and now it has swept nearly half of the Holy Domain with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, if Your Majesty doesn't make a decision, I'm afraid it won't be long before Lan Shixun's army will enter the ...... Entered Jinling City......" An old minister over eighty years old knelt tremblingly in front of Yan Chong, and pleaded bitterly with tears.

"How can the emperor not know what you say?" Yan Chong smiled bitterly with a pale face, "It's just that you told the emperor how many soldiers and horses are left under the emperor's command now?"

"This ......" As soon as Yan Chong's words came out, there was another anxious sigh in the Golden Palace.

"Back to Your Majesty, the remaining Jinling garrison is only a few thousand...... Yan Zheng said bluntly, "The army has been taken away by Yan Lie before, and now we have no more soldiers and horses in our hands......"

"How is that good?" Yan Hao's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to ask Yan Zheng, he knew that his third brother was not alarmed when he was in trouble, and he could always make some strange plans at critical moments, so compared to Yan Chong, who was seriously ill and dying, Yan Hao now believed in Yan Zheng more, "It is said that Lan Shixun's army is nearly 300,000, and we only have a few thousand people, if we fight, aren't we hitting stones with eggs?"

"That's right!" Yan Zheng nodded solemnly, "If it is a head-to-head confrontation, it is hitting a stone with an egg, and all the ministers in the temple today will definitely die!"

"This ......" Yan Zheng's words were by no means alarmist, and it also caused extreme panic among the courtiers for a while.

"I've long heard that there is a black-armored army from the beast clan in Lan Shixun's army, and this black-armored army has always burned and looted, raped and plundered, and now the people in the northern part of the Sanctuary have suffered a lot!" said a courtier tremblingly, "and Lan Shixun seems to have promised the orcs not to ask about what the black-armored army does, and let them run rampant in the Sanctuary." Jinling City is the most prosperous place in the Holy Domain, if the Black Armor Army is allowed to enter Jinling City, then the consequences of the old ministers can't be imagined......" Saying this, he actually hid his face and cried bitterly with several old ministers around him, acting as if he was about to die.

"Your Majesty! We fought with the traitors!" Of course, there are also some ministers who would rather die than be equally resolute, "It's better to die than to live with grievances!"

"That's it!

"There are millions of people in Jinling City, everyone unites to fight the same enemy, presumably it will not be easy for Lan Shixun's 300,000 army to kill it!"

"By no means, there are the most women, children, old and young among the people, but there are very few who can really be sent to the battlefield, and ordinary people have never fought at all, and even if they go to the battlefield, they will only be slaughtered, and they will not work at all......"

......

All of a sudden, there was a dispute in the Golden Palace, and the ministers had different opinions, each of which was impassionedly expressing their own opinions and opinions.

"Your Majesty, now not only is Lan Shixun's army pressing, but even Dongfang Su has taken the opportunity to connive at the sect's rebellion, the fact that he and Lan Shixun are the same is already known to everyone, and now the internal and external troubles, the holy realm is in danger!" Yan Hao said with an anxious face, "Your Majesty, what should we do about this matter?" I hope Your Majesty can ......make a decision as soon as possible."

"Ahem......" Before Yan Hao's words could be finished, Yan Chong suddenly burst into a burst of fire, and then a violent cough interrupted Yan Hao's words.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, the ministers all looked worried. It is not so much that they are worried about Yan Chong's stability, but that they are worried that they are more accurate, after all, if Yan Chong really has three longs and two shorts, then these courtiers will definitely not have a good end.

"That'...... In your opinion, how should the emperor decide?" Yan Chongqiang endured his cough and raised his eyes to ask Yan Hao.

"I ......" Yan Hao couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw this, "My brother has a plan that may be saved, but I don't know if I should ......talk about it."

"If you have something to say, say it!" ahem, ahem......" Yan Chong urged rather impatiently.

"Your Majesty...... Now that the overall situation has been decided, there are 300,000 troops of Lan Shixun coming to the city in the front, and then Dongfang Su has called on the Holy Domain Sect to take the opportunity to make trouble, with our current strength, it is obvious that we are powerless to return to the sky......" Yan Hao said tremblingly, his eyes were still turning left and right when he spoke, and he never dared to look at Yan Chong, obviously a little weak-hearted, "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, we should ...... It's better to ......"

Yan Hao even said several 'Mo Hao', and even raised the hearts of the courtiers to his throat, and at this moment, everyone in the Golden Palace stared at him intently, and no one knew what kind of solution he would say next.

"What's the matter?" Yan Chong seemed to have realized something, and at this moment his face had become gloomy, and his tone was a little stiffer.

Yan Hao's eyes suddenly became fierce under the gaze of everyone, and then he said quickly without doing anything: "It's better to surrender to Lan Shixun, so that at least you can survive!" Lan Shixun will definitely buy people's hearts at the beginning, and he will not kill us, but it should not be a problem to ensure the prosperity and wealth of our royal family for a lifetime, I don't know ......."

"Smack!"

Before Yan Hao's words could be finished, Yan Zheng, who was standing on the side, had a sudden change in his eyes, and then slapped Yan Hao in the face without warning, causing Yan Hao to stumble and fall to the ground after turning around in place.

"What kind of bastard are you talking about?" Yan Zheng glared angrily and scolded sharply, "As the King of Shengnan, you actually have a reluctant heart, you ...... You are really a person from my royal family in vain!" Yan Zheng pointed at Yan Hao angrily, his face turned blue with anger.

"I have a reluctant heart, the so-called good death is better than living, and now being able to live is more important than anything else......," Yan Hao replied unwillingly.

"Do you still dare to say that?" Yan Zheng said, then raised his foot and kicked Yan Hao fiercely, which frightened Yan Hao and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Enough!"

Finally, this farce in the Golden Palace aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Yan Chong, who saw him glaring at everyone in the palace with an iron face, and said in an unhappy tone: "This is the Golden Palace of the Imperial City, what kind of system are you making such nonsense?"

"Your Majesty, Yan Hao, he's too much!" Yan Zheng said angrily, "I actually want to abandon the dignity of the royal family for my own life......"

"Okay, okay, don't say it anymore......"

"Report!"

Just when Emperor Yan Chong was extremely impatient, an anxious voice suddenly sounded from outside the Golden Palace, and then I saw an internal official stumbling in the direction of Yan Chong.

"Your Majesty, there is someone outside the imperial city who asks to see him, and he says it is your old friend......"

"Haha...... The old man has said a long time ago that you don't have to go in and pass through, for decades, the old man has been coming and going freely in and out of this imperial palace, and this is something that His Majesty has already given special favors!"

Before the official could finish speaking, he heard an old laugh suddenly resounding in the Golden Palace, as if it was coming from all directions at the same time, and people couldn't even figure out where this person was.

However, before the ministers of the Golden Palace could react from their surprise, a pale-haired old man in a moon-white robe appeared strangely in the middle of the Golden Palace. And immediately after that, there were four extremely strong men who were equally powerful and terrifying. As soon as the old man's smiling face appeared in the Golden Palace, the originally sad face of the Emperor Yan Chong shook suddenly, and then a knowing smile slowly bloomed on his face.

"Brother Qiu Ming, the emperor has finally looked forward to you!"

......
