Chapter 112: Revival, Destruction
Next to the open space where Meng Shouxin was stationed, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared, and under the leadership of Meng Shouyi, they launched a death charge towards the seemingly endless Xiongnu army, followed by the infantry team.
There were more than a thousand people in this team, and it seemed that the team that had long since left in batches reunited and came back again.
"Something that is an eyesore...", Meng Shouxin cursed, and in the last moments of his life, he wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but he had already burst into tears.
But it was the people in his mouth who were eyesore, facing the thousands of troops and horses of the enemy, with more than a thousand people going up the current without hesitation, and those familiar faces who had already fled, passed by one after another in front of Meng Shouxin.
When we met again, unlike when we parted, no one remained silent anymore, everyone roared hoarsely, cursed or sang war songs, and again, no one left this time.
In just one face, Meng Shouxin's team was ruthlessly trampled by the Xiongnu cavalry, and Meng Shouyi's cavalry was also scattered, and after struggling to kill several Hu people, he was stabbed off his horse, and then his body was trampled into flesh.
"Idiot, haven't you always wanted to leave since you were a child? Why do you want to come back when you're already gone? ”
"Brother, you and I came to this world together, since we want to leave, let's go together. In this life, I will fulfill your faith, if there is an afterlife, stay away from me, don't be a brother anymore, so that I can scold happily, I will be your mother's dog offal! ”
.......................
The moon stars are scarce, and the bright moonlight shines on the ground of the palace, and the thin snow reflects a hazy color. In the imperial study, several rows of candles and braziers dispelled the darkness in the empty room, and Xuanyuan Haoyang stared at the secret fold in his hand, his eyes full of fanaticism.
"The day has finally come." He muttered to himself. Then he burst out laughing.
The shadow guard standing behind Xuanyuan Haoyang saw that the emperor was a little out of shape, moved half a step forward, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty?" ”
Xuanyuan Haoyang came back to his senses when he heard the sound, suppressed his excitement, slowly regained his composure, turned his head to look at the shadow guard, and said: "Shadow, the secret compromise said, as the weather gets colder and colder, even if it enters spring, there is still no sign of relief, and the Hu people in the north are short of food, and they can't help but launch an attack on our border." ”
The shadow guard pondered for a while, and asked incomprehensibly, "Your Majesty, why did you go to war instead... Do you think this is a good opportunity to expand your territory? ”
"Nope." Xuanyuan Haoyang's eyes gradually turned cold, and he sighed and said: "It's just that our Xia Dynasty needs a war too much now, and it can't be a civil war, it must be a foreign invasion." ”
"Why is that?"
"If the people revolt and rebel, it will be difficult to set off any storms, and those old things will not only not make contributions, but may even raise their own dignity. But foreign invasion is different, it is a collision between races and cultures, and they must do their best to deal with it. At that time, we can use this war to reclaim the power in their hands little by little, consume the power in their hands, and even exterminate the forces they have cultivated in secret. ”
"Your Majesty, as long as there is the Great Wall, no matter how many people the Hu people dispatch, they may not be able to set off any storms, the pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Hu people are nomads, they are not good at siege warfare, and they do not have siege weapons, so they may not be able to fight down. If you don't enter through the pass and want to forcibly cross the Great Wall, you have to abandon all the horses, but once you abandon the horses and turn from cavalry to infantry, they lose their mobility, in front of the defenders of our Xia Dynasty, they are simply closed doors and dogs. The Shadow Guard replied disapprovingly.
"Hahaha, of course I know, so we need to use our secret power to find a way to let the Hu people in!"
"What!" The shadow guard looked stunned, as if he had just had auditory hallucinations. Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be joking, he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the Hu people are cruel, if you let them in, I am afraid that the people in the north will not be able to make a living, and they will be mourned all over the wilderness." What's more, the first emperor was..."
"Of course, what the first emperor said is right." Xuanyuan Haoyang interrupted the words of the shadow guard, and said, "But after all, hundreds of years have passed, and the words of the first emperor are applicable to the past, not necessarily to the present. You must know that the weapons and equipment developed by the Ordnance Bureau, the Tang Sect and the Perak Hall are not the same as in the past, and after I have achieved my goal, wouldn't it be easy to drive them out? I hope that they will hit me right under my nose, so that those powerful ministers will have a sense of crisis and will completely hand over the authority in their hands. ”
"But the people..."
"Shadow, what do you think the people are? For me, the people of the north are like a string of numbers that cannot be seen or touched, and since they are numbers, what does it matter if they die more? Those who can escape must be young adults. When the time comes, there will be no children's concern and the elderly's bonds, and these young people who have escaped will not be able to make a difference? When the war begins, we can further weaken the power of the armies who have fallen to the faction of the powerful ministers by making them all die on the battlefield, otherwise in a few years, my descendants may become puppets. ”
Xuanyuan Haoyang thought for a while and continued: "As the war spreads, the people in the north are in trouble, will they stop those Jianghu people who usually claim to be righteous? If you make a move, you will inevitably suffer countless casualties, and if you don't make a move, you will lose your former prestige among the people. And some people with ulterior motives will also take this opportunity to jump out, I wait for them to jump out, and then get rid of them one by one. As the saying goes, first break and then stand, reform has pains, and not reform is a long pain! ”
"Ei, you took this secret order to contact our people, and you secretly took them to carry out this plan, the name of the plan... Let's call it revival. ”
Xuanyuan Haoyang picked up the secret letter he had just written when he communicated with the shadow guard and handed it to him, the shadow guard hesitated about the emperor's order for the first time in his life, he pursed his lips, and finally didn't say anything, just respectfully said that he had taken the secret order.
When he was about to leave the imperial study, Xuanyuan Haoyang suddenly stopped him, and as soon as his steps stopped, the emperor's voice sounded behind him.
"Shadow, I'm waiting for you to come back soon."
"Your Majesty, take care."

"It's not the best time, but can't you wait?" The Pavilion Master of the Shadow Pavilion comfortably touched the top of his bare head, and looked at the tightly wrapped mysterious person in front of him and smiled.
However, the mysterious man in front of him did not answer him, looked at him comfortably and stunned for a while, his eyes gradually dimmed, and said, "I understand, Crazy Iron Sending Guests." ”
After hearing the eviction order, the mysterious man did not hesitate or speak, turned around and walked out of the council chamber of the Shadow Pavilion, and Crazy Iron followed behind him, not so much sending off as surveillance.
After the two of them went out, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of An Yi's mouth, and he said loudly: "Wushuang, Shi Tongtian, Shen Lang, the three of you go and inform the people below that the plan to destroy the world has begun." ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Shen Lang and Shi Tongtian replied in unison, but Ji Wushuang bowed his head deeply and said nothing.
"What, Wushuang, do you have any ideas?" Comfortably lowered his head, looked at Ji Wushuang who was kneeling below, and asked.
"Nope." Ji Wushuang shook her head, then raised her head sharply to look at An Yi, tears flowed down her face, her eyes revealed madness, and she choked up and said: "Wushuang is just too happy, Wushuang is waiting for this day... It's been too long..."
...........................
In Feipeng Castle, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and after Wang Chongzhi and Li Fuping turned around in it, they did not find a trace of a living person.
"It seems that the rumors on the road are true, Feipeng Fort has been exterminated." Li Duckweed whispered with a gloomy face.
Wang Chongzhi's face was also gloomy, since they learned the news that their disciples had been killed on the way back to the Sword Sect, they began to investigate along the road, and finally found the place where the battle took place.
The bodies of several disciples have been burned, but their identities can still be guessed, the murderer has no traces of the battle that can be destroyed, and it can be seen from the scene that the enemy's martial arts schools are not the same, the most obvious of which is the Kyushu sword technique used by someone.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Kyushu knife technique is the Su family's mastery, and after someone wiped out the Su family, they took away the Su family's knife spectrum. Because the news that there were no survivors in the Su family, everyone didn't pay too much attention.
There are only a few forces that know that Duan Feipeng knows the Kyushu Sword Technique, and he should have been the one who participated in that battle back then, but it doesn't matter to him, and few people mention and care about this matter. Among these forces, there is the Huashan Sword Sect.
Seeing that their beloved disciples were killed, Wang Chongzhi and Li Fuping's eyes could almost drip blood, could it be that the disciples had a conflict with the people of Feipeng Fort outside? They rushed to Feipeng Fort as soon as possible, wanting to find Duan Feipeng for an explanation.
However, after arriving, what I saw was this scene, the clue was cut off when it arrived here, Feipeng Fort was destroyed, and Duan Feipeng's whereabouts were unknown.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that Li Fuping was silent for a while and turned to leave, Wang Chongzhi turned his head and stopped her and asked.
Li Fuping didn't turn his head, but just stopped and replied lightly: "Back to the Sword Sect, now it seems that it is difficult to find out the truth in a short period of time, I still have a few disciples of Yin Susu and Lingsha who need to be taught, I can't spend all my time here, each has its own destiny, each has its own destiny, this is probably Wu Xue's life." ”
"Only one of your disciples was killed, no wonder you are so free and calm." Wang Chongzhi sneered, "But the old man can't do it, all the carefully cultivated disciples of the old man have been killed, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end, no matter who the murderer is, I must break him into pieces!" ”
"Okay, then Senior Brother Wang, you stay, if there is any news and progress, you can send a letter to me."
