Chapter 165: The Situation of Later Construction (Part II)
The Tiger Battalion was slightly damaged in the previous Northeast and Northwest Wars, and after the war, Xiao Yu re-dispatched elite armor soldiers to make up for the number of 3,000. Unlike Xiao Jin's bizarre Eagle Guard, the Tiger Battalion is better at frontal combat, and under the premise of the same strength, no one in the Northwest Army can leave the Tiger Battalion alone.
This time, Xiao Yu went to Julu City, and he had no intention of wearing a white dragon fish suit, but went to Julu in a dignified manner under the escort of the three thousand tiger battalion guards, and at the same time accompanied by Zishuiyang, Mingchen, Hu, Linggui, Tang Chunyu and others, Qu Cang had already gone to Julu City to play the front station, it can be said that the secret guards and the Northwest Daomen were in addition to the necessary left-behind personnel, and the elite were exhausted.
At this time, Julu City was already a sudden storm, due to a huge change on the side of Houjian, after the establishment of the eight-person council, the Houjian court, which should have been calm for a period of time, made waves again because of an inconspicuous trivial matter. What is the cause of this matter, it is still unknown, when the news reached Xiao Yu's ears, there was only a few words: "The emperor was jealous of Yan De and other five kings, and wanted to secretly edict Murong Yan, so that the dead soldiers would be punished, but before it was reached, the incident was leaked, and the five kings then raised troops, and Murong Yan fled in embarrassment, and the emperor was punished by Wan Yan De." ”
Xiao Yu was shocked after getting the news, he didn't expect that the little emperor of Houjian would be so uncontrollable, the front foot sent Wan Yan Beiyue to lobby him, and the back foot wanted to launch a palace coup to kill the five kings, the key is that it failed, the secret edict that should have been handed over to Murong Yan was intercepted by Wan Yan De, Murong Yan was naturally caught off guard in the face of the five kings without knowing it, and the army belonging to Murong Yan was completely defeated under the offensive of the Five Kings Alliance, and Murong Yan could only lead the remnants to withdraw from Daliang City, and then retreat to Julu City. As for the little emperor of Hou Jian, Murong Yan didn't kill him with his own hands, he was already restrained and forbearing, let alone saving him, and if this kind of thing happened, someone would have to come out and take responsibility.
When Xiao Yu put this information in front of Wanyan Beiyue, Wanyan Beiyue's face suddenly turned like ashes.
At that time, Xiao Yu said with an expressionless face, "This is the Ming Lord you want to support? You just want to persuade this king to ally with such a person? That little emperor, to put it nicely, is eager for quick success, and if it is ugly, it is not enough to succeed and more than to lose! If Mr. Wanyan and this king are transposed, how do you feel?"
Wanyan Beiyue didn't speak, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she was speechless.
Neither he nor Xiao Yu are stupid, and saying those vain words is not only meaningless, but also adds to the joke.
What's more, the little emperor has been poured a cup of poisoned wine by Wanyande, and he can't die anymore. What capital does Wanyan Beiyue have now to talk about the word union with Xiao Yu, the powerful king of the northwest?
After all, this involves the rise and fall of a country and a place.
It will even affect the ownership of the entire world in the future.
It is by no means a businessless business that can empty the gloves of the white wolf with a touch of the upper and lower lips.
If you want to participate in it, your heart, your wrist, and the most important real power are all indispensable.
Emperor Hou Jianxiao has the mind to do so, but there is too much difference between his wrist and real power, and in the current situation, there is not much time for him to grow slowly.
So he had to die.
Wanyan Beiyue was also among Xiao Yu's entourage this time, no matter what, he, the uncle of the Hou Jian Emperor, always had to meet Murong Yan and ask what was going on, why the little emperor acted so impulsively and recklessly, so that the good situation that had just arrived was completely destroyed.
――
Julu City was originally a place where all kinds of scattered cultivators gathered, but after Murong Yan's army was stationed, the scattered cultivators in the city had already dispersed seven or eight out of ten.
This was built in the Xiongcheng of the Great Chu Taizu period, which was built to resist foreign captives, and Xiao Zheng repaired it after entering the city.
There are watchtowers not far from the square city gates, and there are already several people dressed in gorgeous clothes in the watchtowers near the west city gate at this time.
The leader is a thin old man with fairy wind bones, but if he changes into a black python robe, he may be the old king of Houjian with a deep gas. There is also a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, who is almost mistaken for a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, and next to this middle-aged man, he is a warrior with a brocade robe and a jade belt and a sword at his waist. Except for these three people, although the rest of the people are of different ages, they can only be regarded as junior subordinates, which is not enough to be equal to these three people.
The three of them sat and drank tea and chatted, talking mostly about the development of the post-construction situation in the past few years and the next few years, but most of the time the old man and the warrior were listening, and the middle-aged were talking, until the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard outside, and the middle-aged man was silent.
A young general standing behind the warrior heard the sound and walked outside, and after a few moments, he quickly returned to the house and whispered a few words in the warrior's ear.
The martial artist whispered to the two people sitting opposite him, "The Northwest King has arrived. ”
The old man got up from his seat and said, "I wonder if the two of you are willing to face the old man to greet the king of the northwest in person?"
The martial artist said with a smile: "What kind of shameless and shameless are these two dogs in my door, naturally they will go with Xiao Lao." ”
The three of them went downstairs together, followed by the rest of their entourage.
At this time, the west gate of Julu City was wide open, and three thousand tigers and fish penetrated inside, the sound of horses' hooves was heavy but not chaotic, and even the ups and downs of three thousand armor soldiers on horseback were the same, but the most conspicuous thing was the prince's chariot with six horses pulling together, and the carriage was like a hill moving slowly on the bluestone paved street, until the three of them appeared at the end of the street, and then slowly stopped.
The three of them are Xiao Zheng, the city lord of Julu City, Murong Yan, the general, and Xiao Shu, the contemporary head of the Hou Jian Xiao clan, who is one of the eight people.
In the face of these three people, Xiao Yu didn't mean to be clever, walked out slowly along the carriage, and arched his hand: "Everyone, Xiao is polite." ”
Although Murong Yan is now in an embarrassing situation, he has been promoted to the fifth person in the world, second only to Shangguan Xianchen, Mu Guan, Diao Yin, and Qingchen, which is why the little emperor died in Daliang City, but Murong Yan was able to escape from Daliang City intact with Xiao Shu, and he was also able to gather the remnants to retreat to Julu City.
In terms of age, Murong Yan is almost the same as Xiao Lie, and he can be regarded as Xiao Yu's father, but now he still has a little bit of cynicism when he was young, and said with a smile: "My nephew, Uncle Shi, I was kicked out of Daliang City, just waiting for my nephew to support me." ”
Xiao Zheng and Xiao Shu didn't have the confidence of Murong Yan, but he was an old man of the Xiao family, and he couldn't flatter a junior Xiao Yu, so he just called him a public in a proper manner, and then said no more.
After Xiao Yu stepped out of the carriage, Qu Cang and other entourages had already come behind him, Xiao Yu smiled, pointed to the people behind him, and said, "Three, Xiao Mou came this time, but he met honestly." ”
Murong Yan smiled: "Since this is the case, then let's talk in detail in another place." ”
Xiao Shu, who had never spoken, smiled and said, "Please move." ”
Murong Yan pointed at this extraordinary Hou Jian Xiao family head and said with a smile: "Duke Ming, if I hadn't saved him desperately, your distant uncle would have died in the chaos." ”
Xiao Yu laughed.
Xiao Shu is Xiao Zheng's nephew, after Xiao Zheng lost power and fled to Julu City, Xiao Shu officially took over the power of the Hou Jian Xiao family, and at the same time continued to stay in the Hou Jian Temple. However, at this time, the Hou Jian Xiao family has lost its most important military power and has been reduced to the ranks of pure civil servants, and this place is very similar to the northwest under Xiao Yu's control, that is, the volume of the voice is closely related to the amount of military power in your hands. Under the noses of the five Wanyan princes, Xiao Shu could not regain control of the army, so he had to retreat to the second best thing and befriend Murong Yan, who had already risen in the Houjian military, and the two were dominated by Murong Yan and supplemented by Xiao Shu, somewhat similar to the relationship between Xiao Yu and Lan Yu. After so many years, one article and one martial arts complement each other.
This time the Five Kings were in turmoil, Xiao Shu was almost about to be affected by the pond fish, fortunately, Murong Yan had not forgotten this old friend, and brought Xiao Shu out when he went out of the city, as for the Yeluna River, the end was much worse than Xiao Shu, a family of more than 100 people, old and young, was first killed by Wan Yan De in front of more than 60 people, and then forced to be the prime minister of the court established by Yan De, otherwise the remaining 40 or so people will be trampled into blood by the horses' hooves.
The Jeruna River is now unable to even survive or die.
Compared with the Yelu family, the situation of the Xiao family is much better, since the five kings and Qingjun side rebellion of the year, most of the Xiao clan people have already withdrawn from Houjian, except for Xiao Shu, there are not many Xiao family children in Daliang City, so this time there are few casualties.
