Stepping through the camp outside the city, Wang Shi's infantry did not stop for a moment. In addition to guarding the two stone bridges that the E-army did not think of demolishing at all, the Zhou army's countless trench cars were paved into the river in rows to connect them, and three wide and sturdy pontoon bridges were erected in Eshui in one hour. All kinds of large-scale siege equipment rumbled over, and it could be spread out under the city walls of Echeng, and the infantry and horse teams roared in, which was terrifying.

In such a situation, it would be in vain to kill people to fight again, and E Kun issued an order to retreat eastward, and countless men and horses bypassed the east of Echeng.

Wei Wu Gongji and immediately decided: Qiang Xing, the former army general, led 30,000 iron cavalry to chase and kill Eshi Zikun, and the main force immediately occupied Echeng to stabilize the people. Previously, the officials sent by Rongyi had arrived in the army, and immediately began to purge the Edu after entering the city. And what Wei He is concerned about is the progress of Qiangxing's pursuit.

The route was originally surveyed: bypassing Echeng and entering the Yellow Mountain to the east, and then going south to cross the river and run to Meili. At first, tens of thousands of people followed, but as the news spread that the Zhou army would not kill innocent people, the common people gradually dispersed. After ten days, there were only more than 10,000 people who followed the Kun. The Qiangxing Department was in hot pursuit, and the Okun Department had no respite at all, but was reluctant to flee to the southeast day and night.

In this way, the two military ranks galloped for more than 1,000 miles in a month, crossed the Yellow Mountain and entered the land of Wuyue. After galloping for more than a month, the men and horses of Ekun were all thin and tired, and they could no longer compete with the Zhou army.

The day entered a valley, and the knights fell on the grass and could not get up again. He wanted to cry without tears, sighed, and pulled out his long sword and put it on his neck. Just as he was about to pull his hand sideways, a slender arm grabbed his hand and snatched the long sword.

"Uncle? It's you!" Although he was at the end of his rope and didn't even have the strength to kill himself, he was still pleasantly surprised.

"Shizi, how can you be so vulnerable?" The concubine angrily threw the sword to the ground, pulled up the Kun and said, "You still have a way to survive in front of you. In the Yushui River Valley, which is more than ten miles ahead, there is a secret camp that can be hidden, and it is impossible for the Zhou army to find it. This secret camp was originally opened by the Yue people in case of emergency, and there is a large amount of grain, grass, dried meat, which is suitable for the prince to lead the army."

"Since it is a place of Yue people, how can you allow me to go?" E Kun is very puzzled, the secret camp is no better than others, it can save lives in critical moments, even if Yue Jun has a relationship with himself, he will never be generous to this?

"Without the permission of Yue Jun, how can I come here to find you? The prince can go and ask nothing else."

"No, if you don't make it clear, I won't move a step." The Kun also came up stubbornly.

"You ......" Uncle Concubine understood Ekun's stubborn nature, so she could only tell the truth: "Then good son, I will tell the truth." Yue Jun actually intended to recruit the prince as his son-in-law, so he ......."

"No more!" E Kun had understood what she meant, stood up and said categorically, "You and I are husband and wife, even if I am at the end of the road, I can't stop remarrying."

"Shizi, you can't be so willful." The concubine pointed to the knights lying on the grass and said angrily, "Look at them! If you don't get the protection of the Yue people, so many people have to die, can you bear it? As the son of the Hubei country, what is the value of a little personal affection? You can't be so selfish! As for me, the son of the world does not need to worry too much, I have the hands and feet to support myself, the son of the world......

She took out a sharp blade from her waist and pointed it at her neck: "If the prince refuses to go to the Yueren camp, then the concubine will die on the spot to cut off the son's attachment!"

"Don't ...... No...... Uncle, I'll just listen to you." E Kun knew his wife's temperament to say the same, and this was by no means to scare him.

"Please give the Shizi an order!" Uncle Fei's short knife still refused to be lowered from her neck.

He barely bounced himself together and immediately ordered the horse team to enter the secret camp.

"Hooray—"

As soon as E Kun's voice fell, the dying horse team suddenly became active. Supporting the prince was originally the hope of this team of dead soldiers and horses who died in nine lives, and now that Shizikun's move, everyone understands his intentions, how can he not let out a desperate cheer? By the time they entered the secret camp and stationed in the tent, the people and horses of the Okun had magically turned into a fierce force.

In this way, the fugitive horse team of the Eshizi Kun suddenly became in Zhou

The army is missing in front of his eyes.

After receiving Qiang Xing's fast horse army report, Wei He frowned again. Shi Zikun was able to suddenly disappear under the close pursuit of the Zhou army, which confirmed the rumors that the Yue people vaguely intervened to help the Hubei country. But to what extent are the Vietnamese involved? In the southeast corner of Wuyue, how many secret camps are there that are too eager to be discovered? And if the remnants of the Hubei state cannot be eradicated in the short term, will the Hubei forces resurge?

After thinking about it for a long time, Wei He found Gongsun Yu and Rong Yi to explain the situation and discuss the plan.

"Wuyue is remote and vast, and eradicating the country of Hubei requires a long-term plan." Gongsun Yu is as steady as ever.

"Eyu Fang, slow the picture can also. However, the flag of the Shizi Kunnai people is also, and it cannot be removed!" Rongyi's attitude is very clear.

"Does the prince have a plan?" Wei He knew that Rong Yi was probably confident when he said this.

"Without him, I ordered Chongli to lead the navy army into the sea through the big river, straight into the mouth of the big river, surprise attack Meili, and force the Hou Yufang to hand over the prince Kun!"

"Hmm. It's doable." Wei He thought about it for a while.

It was immediately agreed that the land and water routes would be divided into two routes, and they would march towards Meili. Led by Chongli by Shuilu, and led by Wei and by Lu by Lu, they all killed Meili, and they were determined to carry out the strategy of "destroying his country" by Zhou Li Wang Jihu to the end.

At the beginning of February, Chongli boarded the largest building ship and led more than 300 warships and more than 1,000 grain and grass heavy ships down the river into the sea. The narrow and turbulent river is like a forest, and the fleet stretches for hundreds of miles, which is really unprecedented magnificence.

When the news of the fall of Echeng came, Meili was already in a mess.

The young generals represented by Emao heard that they had fallen, and the prince was missing, and they were all so sad that they beat their chests and feet, and the blood books were hung all over the palace gate carriage and horse farm. The steady civil officials represented by Eyun were all worried, and they were even more frightened when they heard that Qiang Xing, the former general of the Zhou army, had chased him to the north bank of the river. Now it has moved to Meili, which is the southeasternmost corner of the country, and it is the big river moat that is taken in the fancy, and there is no way to retreat. If you retreat, you will completely lose the country.

Since the Hou Yufang entered Meili, he has been annoyed day after day.

Since the fall of Echeng and the disappearance of the prince, Merry's morale has gradually dissipated, and there is a lingering atmosphere of frustration among the ministers and soldiers. Among the old subordinates of the Kun, several captains and many soldiers have fled back to their hometowns. The ministers who followed him also closed their doors, and Eyu wanted to talk to the court meeting for a meeting, but gradually no one was called.

What's more, compared with Echeng, Meili is very deserted, and the exiled people gathered in many ways are fluctuating, and Eyu wants to hunt and play, but he does not dare to go out of the city easily. I was trapped in this simple and narrow courtyard "Miyagi" for a long time, and I was really depressed and panicked. If you want to talk to no one, there are a few concubines and a dozen servants, and they are annoying to watch; wanted to toss those plump concubines, but E Yufang lost his spirit again; wanted to plan a big plan for the future, but no one was called to come to the court.

On this day, he was really bored and panicked, and wanted to go out of the city for a walk, but as soon as he got out of the "palace", he was frightened by the crowds of people and traffic on the streets and the dust flying in the sky.

"Is Zhou Jun calling? Why is it so messy?" Eyu Fang is like in a dream.

The old chamberlain who inquired about the news came back with a panicked look and reported: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the city that Wei He personally led an army of 100,000 to leave Echeng and come in the direction of Meili. The people in the city who have a little wealth are preparing to flee!"

E Yufang was angry, returned to the palace and issued three edicts in a row, and finally held the court meeting.

Only six people came to the court, three people surnamed Yao, and three city defense generals. The chief of the messenger came back and reported that the rest of the ministers and generals did not come, but all took their tribesmen to hunt. After moving the capital to Meili, the Eyu side reorganized the power of the temple, and all the power was held by the princes. Eyu Fang was convinced that only nobles with the same surname who were connected by blood could abide by the right path of the monarch and ministers in difficult times.

At present, the three ministers of the princes, one is the minister of the country, one is the secretary of the country, the other is the secretary Eyun, who is in charge of land and goods, and the other is Emao, who is in charge of the affairs of the royal city. As long as these three people arrive, plus three generals, the important state affairs will be generally clear.

So, Eyu Fang didn't bother to ask more, and immediately started the court meeting.

Eyu said that the court meeting only decided two things: first, chasing

Why is there a shortage of military rations, and why is the city defense army weak? Why are there so many fugitives? Second, the Weihe army is swept down in the dust, do you want to retreat to Yuedi?

The words fell, and the three noble ministers were silent for a while. However, the three city defense generals were in great spirits, and immediately shouted loudly, saying that they came to the court meeting today for the sake of military rations, and the soldiers now only have one meal a day, and if they can't get three full meals, they will eventually be scattered!

E Yufang stared at Xiangguo with a dark face and spoke. The bearded man who was temporarily living in the phase with his advanced seniority shook his head bitterly, and repeatedly listed the great loss of wealth caused by the relocation of the capital to Meili, as well as the various expenses for the resettlement of the exiled princes and common people, and finally sighed with tears: "The goods and goods of the public office can only last for half a year at most, and if the soldiers want to eat three meals a day, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support them for three months!"

Hearing this, Eyu Fang was shocked, and asked Eyun, who was in charge of the treasury's goods, "Where did the five ships of rich goods from Echeng go? It's only been half a year!"

Eyun was frightened and angry, and reminded his cousin with a dark face: "Since moving the capital to Meili, half of the goods and goods given to the Weiyi tribe and the Yue Jun have been used, and then they have built the Meili Gonggong, bought horses from the Yi people to form an army, and built and repaired warships, etc., and there is not much left of the five major ships."
