The sun will set, and the selfless and lasting light will come to an end. Night is coming, and life that has been dormant in the day is beginning to move.

Ordinary is the happiest, because ordinary people can only see the beautiful sunset at dusk, and can't see the dazzling blood red.

On this day, the industrious people of the Divine Revelation Continent went out early at sunrise and started another busy day. And those who have been waiting for a long time smell a hint of change in the warm breeze.

In the small bamboo forest of the castle lord's mansion of Shengzhou City, Wen Ren Chu looked at the bamboo leaves flying in the warm breeze, and his face had the long-suppressed ease and happiness that had finally been released, and the excitement and frenzy when facing challenges. Two completely different emotions appeared on Wen Ren Chucai's face, but there was not the slightest sense of incongruity.

Wenren Hanfeng stood a few steps behind Wenren Chucai, looking at his father's back, as if looking up at a towering and majestic mountain.

Since childhood, his father has been synonymous with unfathomable and high mountains in his eyes. He tried hard to make himself stronger, to be a little closer to his father.

Therefore, when the "Tianshu" was established, Wenren Hanfeng did not hesitate to take the initiative to apply to become one of the two "human pillars" of the "Tianshu". With the power of "Tianshu", Wenren Hanfeng can have the strongest strength to reach the peak of the Heavenly Rank, and become the strongest combat power in Shengzhou City.

But when Wenren Hanfeng opened the "Tianshu" and stood in front of his father, he found that his father was still the peak that he could never see the top, and he was still hiding behind the dense fog, so that he could never see it really.

"Kaede ......"

"Father. Hearing his father call himself, Wen Ren Hanfeng had a different emotion in his heart, his father had not called himself "Feng'er" for many years.

"Feng'er, the day is about to change...... I've been planning for a long time, and I'm finally going to start in earnest......"

"Shuozhou was accidentally destroyed half of the city, didn't it affect your father's plan?" Wenren Hanfeng asked, he knew that Shuozhou was a very important part of his father's plan, and suddenly something changed, he once thought that his father would postpone the plan for a while.

"Feng'er, you have to remember. Some things may seem bad, but if they can be used well, they may not become new opportunities. ”

Feng'er remembered. ”

Hearing this, Chu stopped talking, and looked at the sky in a daze, the blue sky gradually became obscure, as if a rainstorm was coming......

Half of Shuozhou City was destroyed, and more than half of Shuozhou's senior generals and important officials were killed or wounded, making Xue Huai, the eldest son of Xue Zhao, who had just taken over Shuozhou, busy every day. Calming the emotions of the people is what Xue Huai does the most every day. Xue Huai knew very well that if the people lost their sense of security in Shuozhou and left their hometowns, then Shuozhou would never be able to regain its former prosperity.

To make matters worse, the destroyed half of the city is home to the city's main granaries and food workshops, and now the people of Shuozhou are not guaranteed three meals a day. Xue Huai took out all the wealth from the ghost in the city lord's mansion, and asked his henchmen to go to the neighboring Song, Hua, and Wei prefectures day and night to buy food, which barely ensured the survival needs of the people.

What Xue Huai never expected was that when he was trying his best to rebuild Shuozhou, the iron cavalry of Weizhou came to the city!

The word "war" has been far away from the Divine Apocalypse Continent for many years, and there has been no real war in the twenty-four states of the Apocalypse for a hundred years. Minor armed frictions are frequent, but they are merely an adjunct to politicians' games.

A hundred years of peace is really too long, so long that too many people have lost their vigilance and sharpness, and too many people have become accustomed to the peaceful days of singing and dancing and taking it for granted.

Among them, including Xue Huai, who has been growing up surrounded by tens of thousands of people.

When he saw the sand and dust raised by the Weizhou Iron Horse, Xue Huai stood on the city wall helplessly. Although Shuozhou's army was assembled at the first time, the Shuozhou army, which had lost most of its high-ranking generals, was scattered outside the city! Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these demoralized rabble in Shuozhou would be as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of the high-morale Weizhou army!

The city wall of Shuozhou City was also destroyed by Zhuo Qing's last blow that day, and if the Weizhou army attacked the city from the destroyed place, it would be a flat river in front of them! However, the Weizhou army did not forcibly attack the city, nor did it collide with the Shuozhou army outside the city, but surrounded the Weizhou regiments and blocked the passage to deliver food to Shuozhou from the outside.

The Weizhou army surrounded Shuozhou for three days, and the people of Shuozhou spent three days in fear and despair......

On the third day, in the lobby of the Shuozhou City Lord's Mansion, Xue Huai sat on the main seat with a sad face, listening to the fierce quarrels of his subordinates in the hall.

"The surplus food in the city has been exhausted, and some of the people are already hungry today. If this continues, the common people will rebel first before the Weizhou army comes in......! Let's go down......"

"Impossible! My good boy in Shuozhou would rather die in battle than surrender. ”

"Dare to ask the general, can you repel the Weizhou army outside?"

"No, you can't. But as a soldier, I'd rather shroud me in horse leather than steal my life. ”

"Is it all your thoughts in the Shuozhou army?"

"Of course!"

"I don't think so. ”

"What did you say!"

Seeing that his subordinates were about to use force, Xue Huaicai weakly raised his hand to stop their argument: "Everyone...... Accompany me to the walls one more time......"

Standing on the city wall, Xue Huai looked at the well-groomed Weizhou Army, and a thousand emotions swept through his eyes. Xue Huai looked back at Shuozhou City, where his Xue family had been sitting for generations, sighed, gently brushed the dust on the city wall with his right hand, and said, "In the name of the city lord of Shuozhou City, I order all the soldiers, officials and people of Shuozhou to open the door and surrender!"

After speaking, Xue Huai jumped and jumped off the city wall, shattering his bones and splattering blood in five steps!

Since then, Shuozhou has officially become part of Weizhou. This simple act of annexation, in the eyes of those who care about the twenty-four states of divine enlightenment, is not pure.

If Shuozhou is annexed by Songzhou or Huazhou, it is normal, but it is Weizhou that annexes Shuozhou!

Weizhou is located in the northeast of Xuanzhou, due to the barren land, the city lord is easy to work, and disregards the people's livelihood, Weizhou can almost be regarded as one of the poorest states on the Divine Enlightenment Continent.

The reason why Weizhou can maintain a good standard of living is because of Xuanzhou's strong material support every year, and in the eyes of other states, Weizhou is just a subordinate of Xuanzhou. This time, Shuozhou was in trouble, and Xuanzhou had not yet expressed anything, but Weizhou took it upon himself to occupy Shuozhou, which was simply a slap in the face of Xuanzhou. What's more, the tactic of besieging but not attacking is definitely not something that the city lord of Acropolis City can think of with only wine in his head.

On the day of Shuozhou's surrender, in the Xuanzhou City Lord's Mansion, Xuanzhou City Lord Han Fengfeng was discussing Weizhou's abnormal performance this time with his first strategist Yue Zifan.

Han Fengfeng was only of medium stature, and although his clothes were exquisite, they were not luxurious. Han Fengfeng's eyes were extremely focused, and his gaze was like a sharp sword piercing his heart, making it impossible for people to tell a lie in front of his eyes.

Han Fengfeng motioned for his subordinates to serve refreshments before asking, "Strategist, what do you think of Weizhou's actions this time?"

That Yue Zifan's face was very young, making it impossible to figure out his real age. Yue Zifan was wearing a simple cyan cloth robe, tasted the fragrant tea offered by his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Actually, the lord has already made up his mind on this matter, but he wants to ask Zifan's opinion. Is this a test for Zifan?"

"Where is the military advisor!" Han Fengfeng said with a smile when he heard this, "Although I have my own ideas, I want to hear the military advisor's high opinions. ”

"It's actually very simple. In a word, we have long been targeted! In recent years, the lord entrusted General Qi to train military horses, and secretly cultivated two elite armies, the 'Bloody Clothes Battalion' and the 'Fierce Curse Battalion', in order to unify the royal power of these 24 states. Unexpectedly, other states were not willing to be lonely, and even Weizhou was affected by them. ”

"Is Weizhou going to turn his back on us?"

"Definitely. In the shallow view of his subordinates, Weizhou was just said to be ambitious. Wait for the future war together, if my Xuanzhou is unstoppable, Weizhou will wave the flag and shout on the side, but it will not be the vanguard, if my Xuanzhou is defeated, Weizhou will be the first to attack Xuanzhou!"

"In this case, Weizhou can't be stayed?" Han Fengfeng's gaze turned cold.

"Exactly. Yue Zifan's expression was a little regretful, "This kind of Weizhou can no longer be stayed, and it will be harmful if you stay." And this is precisely the purpose of the person who provoked the incident, no matter which state he said was the one who moved Weizhou's ambitions, his purpose was to make a move against Weizhou! Unfortunately, even if we knew about it, we had to drill into their good trap. ”

Han Fengfeng rubbed his forehead and asked with some confusion: "Why do they want us to attack Weizhou? If we take Weizhou, we will sit on the land of the three states, which is not a bad thing for us." What good can they do?"

"First, since Weizhou was sheltered by our Xuanzhou before, this time they attacked Weizhou, and they only needed a little rendering to crucify us on the mainland. Second, we have obtained the land of the three states and immediately become the largest force on the mainland, but we have not yet gained a firm foothold in the newly acquired two states, and if they provoke the slightest, there will be red-eyed people who will pounce on us and bite us fiercely; third, once we make a move with other states, the strength we have been secretly cultivating will be exposed one after another, so that they will have a guard and have an advantage in the future contest. ”

"Oh, so ...... This person who is secretly targeting my Xuanzhou also has the intention of dominating the 24 states? But among the 24 states, how many states can have such strength?"

"Although the three central states are strong, they have always been closed off and can be ruled out for the time being. In the remaining 21 states, those who can have this strength, in addition to my Xuanzhou, there are Qizhou in the west, Jianzhou in the southwest, Haizhou in the east, and Shengzhou, which is the most easily ignored. Yue Zifan listed the possible manipulators behind the scenes.

"It seems that the Bloody Camp has to do more in this matter. It's up to you to explain this...... As for what to do, I think you should know it. ”

"Yes. I understand that the subordinates retired. Yue Zi bowed and withdrew......

The heavens of the twenty-four states of divine revelation have changed!
