Chapter 257: The Storm Rises

In the 519th year of the Great Xia calendar, the eighth day of the seventh month.

On this day, the barbarians officially attacked Daxia, Pingxi Hou led the Xuantie army, and the barbarians started a big battle on the border, for three consecutive days, they all had the advantage, although the 600,000 Xuantie army was damaged, but it was also a barbarian defeat and retreat.

After the news reached the summer capital, all of a sudden, the whole sky was lit with a burst of firecrackers, and the crowd was excited and cheered.

For the news of the barbarian invasion of Great Xia, the common people of Great Xia naturally knew about it, and now that Pingxi Hou has won the battle, the people are naturally very happy.

Even, even the crown prince in the palace was in a good mood, ready to reward the corresponding reward, and once Pingxi Hou won the battle, he would directly send someone to transport him to the border.

All of a sudden, the name of Pingxi Hou resounded throughout the heavens, and countless ordinary people called Pingxi Hou the god of war in Great Xia, as long as he was in one day, the border of Great Xia would be stable for one day, and the barbarians would never be able to invade the territory of Great Xia.

However, the good times did not last long, just when the people of Tiandu were cheering, five days later, a news of an eight-hundred-mile urgency came to the Tiandu Palace.

Defeat at the border!

The barbarians joined forces with the Liuhe Divine Sect to set a trap on the border, and sent a full eight martial arts masters to besiege Pingxi Hou!

Under the desperate protection of the soldiers under his command and the Xuantie Army, Pingxi Hou seized the 1 in 10,000 probability and escaped death, but he was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread, and he was still lying unconscious on the bed until now.

Nowadays, the border of Yanzhou is in chaos, and the demons are dancing!

After this battle, the Xuantie Army lost more than 300,000, and the 600,000 Xuantie Army is now less than 300,000 left, and all of them are wounded!

Not only that, but even the border coach Pingxihou is hanging by a thread, always in a coma, and he may die immediately.

After the great victory, the barbarian army drove straight into the Great Wilderness Mansion, and the Xuantie Army retreated again and again, and at the same time, a group of demon warriors such as the Holy Netherworld Sect and the Great Black Heaven Sect under the command of the Liuhe God Sect appeared in various prefectures and counties in Yanzhou, and a large number of demons and ghosts appeared, and the entire Yanzhou is now in danger.

In just a few days, nearly 200,000 people died, and there were countless dry bones and rivers of blood in the Great Wilderness Mansion!

This kind of news can't be hidden, and soon, as soon as this news comes out, the world is boiling!

The people of the thirteen prefectures under the jurisdiction of Great Xia, especially the other two large prefectures in Yanzhou, were already panicked to the extreme, and the entire Great Xia fell into an atmosphere of extreme depression in which everyone was in danger.

At this moment, above the early dynasty of Great Xia, the Jinluan Palace has already exploded!

All the ministers were arguing over the situation in Yanzhou.

In the Great Xia Palace, on the Jinluan Palace, the crown prince Ji Yuan sat at the top, and his face was already solemn to the extreme.

Below, the ministers argued, quarreled inextricably, blamed each other, said everything, and in the end, even some civil officials and military generals almost started to move.

The prince opened his mouth several times and tried to dissuade him, but to no avail, and he was angry and a little helpless.

"Silence!"

At this time, King Huai spoke, his face was calm, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, and there was a terrifying terrifying power in this prince who did not know martial arts.

At this moment, all the ministers who were swept by King Huai's eyes trembled, closed their mouths, and did not dare to make the slightest movement.

The entire Jinluan Hall suddenly returned to tranquility again.

Immediately, King Huai glanced at the prince and signaled that he could speak.

The crown prince frowned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation in Yanzhou is urgent now, and the palace is also anxious, but what problem can a quarrel solve?" ”

"At present, the most critical thing is how to break the situation in Yanzhou!"

Everyone in the Jinluan Palace knew that if Yanzhou was lost, the impact on Great Xia would be extremely huge, and this matter was even more serious than the original visit of the Great Yuan Mission.

Nowadays, there is Da Yuan on the eastern front, always observing the situation, if Yanzhou is lost, the national strength of Daxia will be sharply reduced, and at the same time, even the people's hearts will be lost, Dayuan will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, it is very likely that he will directly send troops to attack Daxia.

At that time, the Great Xia, which has lasted for more than 500 years, is very likely to fall apart.

And the crown princes, including the king of Huai, are the ministers of the Jinluan Palace, and they are all sinners, who will be recorded in history and will be remembered for thousands of years.

Especially the crown prince, the record of him in the history books must only have four big words in the end: the king of the dead country!

At this time, Ding Yuanbo and Wu Weibo came out of the ranks, Qi Qi said: "Pingxi Hou is brave and good at fighting, he is the top three handsome talents in Great Xia, the barbarian attack on Great Xia, it was already a situation of defeat and retreat, and he was about to win a big victory, but it was because of the sudden appearance of the Demon Sect that it would cause Pingxi Hou to be seriously injured and dying, and Yanzhou was about to be lost. ”

"According to the minister's understanding, Qin Wu, the deputy commander of the Jingtian Division, sent Gu Shen to support Yanzhou, but such a major event still happened in Yanzhou, what does it mean? It means that it must be Gu Shen's dereliction of duty and connivance with the Demon Sect, so it will be like this, please Your Highness severely punish Gu Shen! ”

When the prince heard this, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and at this time, Liang Guogong came out and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that now is not the time to be held accountable, besides, what is the specific situation in Yanzhou, we have only heard, not the parties involved, and now there should be no more branches, the most important thing is to combine the efforts of everyone to think of a way to break the situation." ”

The prince nodded and said, "Aiqing is reasonable. ”

At this time, Dingyuan Bo said: "Before, the Marquis of Pingxi had the news of an increase in troops, but His Royal Highness did not agree at that time, and the minister thought that he should immediately increase his troops and send a large army to the border!" ”

Wu Weibo also said: "The minister has heard that the barbarians have obtained the relics of the ancient gods and demons in the 100,000 mountains, and it is precisely because of this that they have recovered the vitality lost due to the war twenty-three years ago. ”

At this time, Chen Yuanli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "The minister thinks that what Dingyuan Bo and Wu Weibo said is reasonable. ”

Immediately, a number of ministers echoed their voices.

The crown prince frowned and pondered, thinking about the feasibility of this method, after all, the deputy commander of Jingtiansi was the top great master of the Tongshen Realm, if there was no accident, he should always sit in Tiandu, because the importance of Tiandu was always the first.

But now, Yanzhou is in turmoil, the situation is urgent, and the barbarians seem to have obtained the legacy of the ancient gods and demons, and their strength has recovered, even better than in the past, plus the Liuhe God Sect is also involved, every day the situation drags on, hundreds of people will die, and the national strength of Great Xia will also weaken.

In this case, it is better to directly let Qin Wu, the deputy commander of the Jingtian Division, dispatch to suppress the chaotic situation in Yanzhou with the strongest combat power, and quickly cut through the chaos to solve everything.

The crown prince believed that even if the barbarian tribe had received the legacy of the primeval gods and demons in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains, the top powerhouses within it had almost been killed and injured twenty-three years ago, and it was impossible for them to recover so quickly.

If it recovers, there will be no 500,000 barbarian army attacking the border, and the top powerhouses can directly assassinate Pingxihou, and there is no need to bother so much, and the war will end in an instant.

At this time, the crown prince turned his head and looked at King Huai, asking for his opinion.

King Huai frowned slightly, as if he was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and after a moment, he nodded.

At this time, Chen Yuanli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, how many troops do you want to send to Yanzhou?" ”

The thirteen states of Great Xia, except for Yanzhou, the situation is also very tense, and for so many years, in order to deal with demons and ghosts, the treasury of Great Xia has also consumed a lot, which is also the reason why Pingxi Hou wanted to increase troops at that time, but the prince did not agree.

But now, it is time to increase the number of troops, but how many troops will be increased is a big deal.

At this time, I only heard Chen Yuanli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and said: "There is one more thing, Your Highness, Lord Wang, who is the leader of the troops this time?" ”

At the border now, Pingxi Hou was severely injured and unconscious, even if he increased his troops, but there were no people who led the troops, he would not be able to do the same.

Although Qin Wu, the deputy commander of the Jingtian Division, is strong in cultivation, he is not a handsome talent after all, and his ability to lead troops in battle is not strong, and the battle of dozens of people and hundreds of people is okay, but if tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of troops are handed over to Qin Wu to command, he does not have this ability.

Therefore, this is where Pingxi Hou is precious to Great Xia.

"Let the minister go."

The prince turned his gaze, and the person who spoke was actually Liang Guogong.

Liangguo Highway said: "Before Pingxihou, it was the old man who guarded the border and deterred foreign barbarians, and now, Pingxi Hou is in a coma, and the old man is the most suitable person." ”

"Nope."

Hearing that Duke Liang Guogong was going to the border, the prince immediately refused, and said: "Duke Liangguo, this palace knows that you are worried about the country and the people, but now that you are old, you should live in good age, Yanzhou is in chaos, it is too dangerous, and this palace cannot agree." ”

Mo said that the Duke of Liangguo was old, but also because he fought on the border all the year round, and there were many dark injuries on his body, why did the Liangguo Guild retire from the army and return to Tiandu later, it was because he was seriously injured in the last battle, which caused a big problem in his body, and even his cultivation was regressed a lot.

The Gang Qi Realm may be okay in normal times, but in the current situation in Yanzhou, it has no effect at all, and even Pingxi Hou, as a martial arts master, can be assassinated and seriously injured, let alone Liang Guogong.

Liang Guo said fairly: "Does Your Highness think that in addition to the ministers, there will be other suitable candidates?" ”

Hearing this, the crown prince glanced at the ministers, and he hoped that someone among the ministers would stand up and be willing to go to the border.

But it's a pity that the prince was disappointed, even now, no one is willing to take the initiative to go out, after all, the situation in Yanzhou is too dangerous, and if you go, you will die nine times, and you may even die ten times.

These princes and princes are all old and accustomed to enjoying the blessings and pleasures in the heavenly capital, and it is absolutely impossible for them to come up with ideas and move their mouths, and let them go out on their own expeditions to the desolate frontier with a changeable climate to suffer.

Seeing this, the prince's fists clenched suddenly, and his face became a little ugly.

But even so, the ministers still didn't seem to see the prince's expression and gaze, and they looked at their noses and noses one by one, and stood there with their eyebrows lowered and their eyes lowered, as if the old monk had settled down.

At this time, King Huai opened his mouth and said: "Let Liang Guogong go, among the ministers, he knows the border best, if you let others go, maybe it will take a long time to adapt to the environment, and now there is no time." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Liang Guogong immediately gave a salute.

"But ......" the prince frowned, Liang Guogong was one of the few ministers who supported him, and he was old and loyal to Daxia, he really didn't want Liang Guogong to take this risk.

However, as King Huai said, apart from the Duke of Liangguo, there is indeed no other suitable candidate.

"Let Qin Wu send people, and the command of Yanzhou Jingtian Si will personally protect the Duke of Liangguo." King Huai said in a deep voice.

Obviously, even King Huai didn't want Liang Guogong to go to the border, but now, there was really no better way.

Seeing this, the prince could only nod helplessly.

"Your Highness is complete!" Liang Guogong clenched his fists and said.
