Chapter 101: The Coast of the East China Sea
In the hall, Tuoba Yuzhi was full of pride, and a feeling of grasping the overall situation arose.
Lin Xiao looked at Tuoba Yu and didn't speak, Tuoba Yu did have some ability, just the trick against the second prince Tuoba Man was very ingenious, so that Tuoba Man couldn't say anything.
Moreover, Tuoba Yu is not only good at this kind of trick, but also has considerable courage and overall view, just like he does not compete with the eldest prince and the third prince for the throne of the national capital, but waives his army into the north and east to capture the lair of the two princes.
As soon as the king Tuoba Yuanshan died, the eldest prince immediately led a large army into the capital and seized the throne, thinking that whoever sat in that position first would be the king of Hanhai.
The third prince Tuoba Lin is similar to Tuoba Hao, but the excuse is different, in the name of King Qin, the spearhead is Tuoba Hao.
But do these really work?
One seat, one big seal, can it be that these two things can make the princes with millions of troops bow down? No, it is absolutely impossible, the only thing that can deter them is strength, the most powerful strength.
In this regard, Lin Xiao also has to say that Tuoba Yu is shrewd, not to fight for the national capital, but to seize territory, expand strength, and pull out the foundation of the eldest prince and the third prince.
In turn, the north and east are occupied by Tuoba Yu, he can slowly claim the king, slowly accumulate strength, the northeast and south are under his control, even if he is not called the king, he is also the hidden king, and he has the power to dominate the entire Hanhai Kingdom.
After thinking about it, Tuoba Yu had calmed down, sat beside Lin Xiao, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you should have known what this king was thinking for a long time, right?"
"How is it possible, the fourth prince knows, I'm not interested in these things, and the Immortal Dao is my goal. Lin Xiao said with a smile, but he was secretly careful in his heart, Tuoba Yu said this was nothing more than a test, a test of whether he had ambitions for secular power.
Tuoba Yu was very happy to get Lin Xiao's answer, and laughed and ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet.
Tuoba Yu's 800,000 elite soldiers were sent out of 700,000, and only 100,000 were left to garrison the south, but he was not worried that others would take advantage of the situation, in Lin Xiao's opinion, Tuoba Yu's actual strength was definitely more than 800,000, and it was likely that there were hidden chess pieces.
In the next few days, the good news came frequently, the 300,000 troops heading to the east were like bamboos, and the east without Tuoba Hao's elite guards was like a paper tiger, which was shattered with a slight pull, and one city after another was captured, and in the end there was no need to even storm it, and some cities automatically defected, saving a lot of trouble.
Of course, it was not all smooth sailing, and the 400,000 troops heading for the north ran into trouble, and the people of the north were brave and extremely xenophobic, and they were very uninterested in them, the southern soldiers, and there would be conflicts at every turn.
However, these were just minor problems, and after Lin Xiao dispatched a secret stab to solve some of the thorns, everything calmed down and got on the right track. The 400,000 army attacked the city and pulled out the village, so it was not fierce, and there would be a huge harvest almost every day, and half of the north had fallen into the hands of Tuoba Yu.
Three months later, Tuoba Yu's army had completely controlled the north and east, plus his own south, three-quarters of the Hanhai Kingdom had fallen into his hands, and his power was unmatched for a while.
In Lin Xiao's courtyard, white flowers are in full bloom and birds are singing.
Syllable!
The door of the house suddenly opened, Tuoba Yu walked in with a happy face, excitedly pulled Lin Xiao's arm, and said: "Mr. Lin, thanks to your secret stab this time, otherwise the north would not be so easy to stabilize, and now the third and the eldest have realized that something is wrong, but the two of them fought in the national capital, lost a lot of troops, and it was too late to turn back." ”
The more Tuoba Yu spoke, the more excited he became, and said with a smile: "Now the two of them can only defect to the second child, but I don't think it's that easy, although the eldest and the third have lost a lot of troops, but their vitality is not injured, and they still have hundreds of thousands of people, so the second child is not afraid?"
"Not necessarily. Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Fourth Prince, your move of 'collaborating with the enemy and treason' made the second prince lose the opportunity, what do you say he should do now if he wants to take the initiative again?"
Tuoba Yu listened to the cold sweat, and his face turned pale: "Fortunately, Mr. reminded me, otherwise I am afraid I would have been planted." ”
He was just happy to sway the overall situation all of a sudden, and as soon as he heard Lin Xiao say it, he understood that the second prince was bound by a move of 'collaborating with the enemy and treason', and he didn't dare to mobilize the army, and now he can only rely on the eldest prince and the third prince if he wants to take the initiative.
And the eldest prince and the third prince are anxious to get back their own territory, so naturally they also need to rely on the second prince, and the two sides are likely to hit it off, and when the time comes, the three parties will join together and move south, Tuoba Yu's 300,000 army is in the east, and 400,000 troops are in the north, even if he still has a secret chess, how many soldiers and horses can he have? Can he stop the three princes from having more than a million male soldiers?
Lin Xiao smiled indifferently and said a few words modestly, Tuoba Yu didn't dare to stay for long, hurriedly left Lin Xiao's mansion, and gathered his staff to plan countermeasures.
When Tuoba Yu left, Yingxun walked out from behind, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate time and space, and fell into the distance, and said: "The things you explained are ready, and all the hundred Heavenly Expeditions will be transferred back." ”
"Well, how is the Assassination going on over there now?" Lin Xiao nodded and asked.
"The Dark Thorn is already on the right track, in addition to the 100 gold medal killers of the Heavenly Army, there are already 300 silver killers and 1,000 bronze killers in the inner gate, and the number of people in the outer gate is about 3,000, but the loyalty is not enough. Shadow replied.
"That's already good, send an order to the person in charge of the assassination, tell them that they can pass on some cultivation techniques to the silver killer, but you must have an idea, choose a loyal one. Lin Xiao's fingers tapped rhythmically on the sandalwood chair, and said, "Now that the world is in chaos, it doesn't matter if the movement is a little bigger, let the dark thorn speed up the pace." ”
The battle for the throne within the Hanhai Kingdom was fierce, and the surrounding principalities and counties were not willing to be lonely, and the army was quietly assembled, and they knew very well in their hearts that it was impossible to overthrow the Hanhai Kingdom, after all, the gap in strength between the kingdom and the principality was too huge.
However, the chaos in Hanhai Country is the time to fish in troubled waters to take advantage, and it would be a pity to miss it.
A few days later, the principalities around Hanhai began to attack the Hanhai Kingdom, plundering one by one. Land, materials, and even population, everything that can be plundered is taken away, and what cannot be plundered is burned out.
And in this **, no one noticed that Lin Xiao and Ying Xun had quietly left Xiangling City
In the east of the Hanhai Kingdom, fifty young men dressed in black shuttled quickly, moving like a whirlwind, like a black phantom through the mountains and forests.
In the void above the fifty black-clothed men, Lin Xiao flew out of thin air, his speed was unhurried, the corners of his mouth outlined an arc of a smile, and he said to himself: "Tuoba Yu, hum, how can I trust a thick black hero like you, it's just to use your strength as a starting point to build my own power......"
Tuoba Yu has a thick heart, is decisive in killing, and is not trustworthy, and no matter what emperor is, he doesn't want to have a person around him who is strong enough to endanger him at any time.
Lin Xiao realized this from the moment he formed an alliance with Tuoba Yu, and some of the later things were just to muddy the waters of Hanhai Kingdom, and then use the opportunity of this chaos to develop his own power. And his real purpose is not in the Hanhai Kingdom, but in the sea area of Wanli to the east of the Hanhai.
The east of the Hanhai Kingdom is close to the endless sea, among which the waves are turbulent, the demon beasts are rampant, many of them are extremely powerful, and most of the armies in the east of the Hanhai Kingdom are mostly to prevent the demon beasts from making trouble.
And what Lin Xiao needs is this vast coast of the East China Sea, this area is close to the sea, it belongs to the heavens, and it only needs to hold the side close to the land to be impregnable, Lin Xiao must establish his own stronghold if he wants to develop his own power, and this is the most suitable.
Due to the chaos in Hanhai, Lin Xiao quietly came to the coast of the East China Sea with fifty heavenly expeditions, but no one found out. Garrisoned here were Tuoba Yu's men, who had just occupied the east, and their foothold was unstable, and many of the defenses and emergency preparedness were extremely crude and even useless.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed when he saw it, waved his arm, and shouted, "Kill!"
A series of black phantoms crossed the night, rushing to the army station in front like flowing clouds, fifty soldiers of the Heavenly Expeditionary Army trained for two years, and then entered the assassination, after a year of assassination, now it can be said that each one is a human weapon, extremely fierce.
The snow bright sword light lit up in the barracks, the firelight diffused out, and the entire barracks was in chaos, countless soldiers were cut to the ground, and blood flowed.
The Expeditionary Army has all kinds of pills provided by Lin Xiao, the Immortal Dao Recipe "Xuanming Immortal Formula", although it has only been three years, most of the cultivation has already surpassed the innate realm and is stable in the heartbeat realm, and it is really devastating to deal with these ordinary soldiers, and there is no suspense.
In just half an hour, a barracks with 3,000 soldiers collapsed, more than half of the soldiers were killed, and the rest were frightened, throwing off their armor and fleeing in disarray.
"No need to chase. Lin Xiao waved his hand to stop the soldiers of the Conquering Heaven Army who wanted to pursue, and said, "Leave ten people to guard here, and the rest follow me." ”
"It's the general. Forty Heavenly Expeditionary Troops came out of the ranks, followed behind Lin Xiao, and rushed to the next barracks.
At the same time, Shadow Commander appeared in the East China Sea with another fifty other Heavenly Expeditionary Army, and there were islands scattered within thousands of miles of the adjacent land, large and small, with the small ones mostly deserted and the large ones occupied by some pirates.
Pirates are a very disgraceful group, robbing merchant ships, robbing homes and houses, it can be said that they do all kinds of evil, but they are familiar with the nature of the water, and the natural advantages of the sea come and go like the wind, it is a headache, and the Hanhai Kingdom has sent a large army to strangle it several times, but in the end it ended in failure.
However, tonight these pirates who did all kinds of evil were doomed to bad luck, and when they were drinking wine and eating meat in the cave they were surrounding and talking very inelegant jokes, a streamer suddenly appeared in front of them.
Shadow Xun magnified the flying sword to a few feet, and came with fifty soldiers of the Heavenly Expeditionary Army in the air, not talking nonsense with a group of pirates at all, and simply moving it neatly.
"Kill, don't leave a single one. Yingxun ordered indifferently.
The pirates are all outlaws, it is impossible to subdue, and most of the evil deeds have been done, so it is better to kill them together than to stay in trouble, cleanly.
