Chapter 551: Abandon and return to the city

The city was abandoned again, something that had not happened in hundreds of years, twice in six years.

This time, no one raised any objections to the abandonment of the city of rejection.

There is no other reason, the army of Beiyi has come, there are a lot of them this time, there are 800,000, if you count the auxiliaries, people, etc., I am afraid that there are more than millions...

What a swoop!

Zhou Ziru sat in the carriage and swayed all the way south. Behind his carriage, there was also a carriage, on which were the unconscious Yi Xiaodao and He Yue'er, who took care of him.

"Lowe, how long will it take for them to come back?" Zhou Ziru sighed softly and asked Luo Wei, who was following the carriage.

Before Luo Wei could answer, several figures came to him, and it was the "Yin and Yang Eight Sons" in addition to Luo Wei.

"Young master, I'll wait to come back and return to life!" The elder Zhu Sanqiu whispered outside the carriage.

Zhou Ziru lifted the curtain and replied in a low voice: "Things are doing well, but why is it so long?" ”

Zhu Sangqiu came closer, and the rest of the people consciously retreated from the soldiers around them.

"We... Failed to kill King Ansi. ”

"What? But how did I get the news that King Anthy is dead? Zhou Ziru was puzzled.

"King Anxi is indeed dead, and it was killed by Duan Tong of Beiyi."

Zhou Ziru was taken aback: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I didn't know about it, but when we arrived in Fengcheng, King Anxi had already been assassinated, and the gossip in the city was that Duan Tong from Beiyi assassinated King Anxi."

"I was about to come back to restore my life, but I happened to meet the prince of Beidi who led an army of 50,000 to attack Fengcheng, and Hu Yanlan of Beiyi also led an army of 40,000 to take over Fengcheng..."

"The result?" Zhou Ziru couldn't help but lean out of the window.

Zhu Sangqiu continued: "As a result, the Beidi Army and the Anxi Army somehow joined forces and defeated 40,000 Beiyi soldiers. ”

Zhou Ziru was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahahahaha!" Good! Good! What a surprise! ”

Zhu Sanqiu was happy to see Zhou Ziru, and smiled lightly: "Young master, there are still good things!" ”

"And? Come on! ”

Half of Zhou Ziru's body was about to poke out of the car window, and Zhu Sangqiu gently pressed Zhou Ziru back.

"King Anxi of Fengcheng has already sent his wife and children to the Central Plains, but now his whereabouts are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. The dragons of Fengcheng were leaderless, and finally the civil and military generals in the city discussed and voluntarily included the entire territory of Anxi into the imperial court! ”

"Good! Good! Good! In addition to the word "good", Zhou Ziru didn't know what to say.

"Also, Nahu Yanlan led hundreds of remnants of the army, fled north in a hurry, and was stopped by us. I wanted to be captured, but I couldn't... The first level is here, please take a look! ”

Zhu Sanqiu said, beckoning to the spear behind him, who picked up the gun and took off a white cloth package hanging in front of the horse's head and threw it at Zhu Sangqiu.

opened the package, and Hu Yanlan's head was impressively in it.

"You seven great achievements! All right! Beiyi's 'brain' was knocked out by us, so it's easy to do now! Zhou Ziru rubbed his hands and was excited.

Originally, he came up with several strategies and plans, but each of them had shortcomings and drawbacks, and if he could hide it from others, he would definitely not be able to hide it from this "wise dog". Now that Hu Yanlan is dead, it can be regarded as a solution to a big problem.

"What else does the young master command?"

"Rest, for not a while. I have an idea now, but I'll have to wait until I get back to the city. ”

The army of more than 200,000 in the Central Plains, after Zhou Ziru received a series of good news, the army seemed to be a little more powerful, and the march was brisk.

……

Returning to the city, it was overcrowded.

Zhou Ziru led more than 200,000 troops to return to the city safely, and the 500,000 troops promised to him by Zhao Yi had all arrived with the arrival of the last Yulin army, and all of them were stationed south of the city.

Soldiers and horses can also be seen everywhere in the city, but in this way, many people spontaneously left the land of right and wrong in the city.

After all, many people are returning to the city, and they have never seen so many soldiers and horses in their lives, even fools know that a big war is about to begin. If you don't leave now, when will you stay?

"King of Beidi, I heard that the prince sent the prince to Fengcheng to assist Fengcheng in defeating Beiyi's 40,000 army, congratulations!"

Jin Mu, the king of Beidi, sat in the conference hall, and when he heard Zhou Ziru's congratulations, he knew that he was not sarcastic, but he still sighed: "Alas, since Zhou Xiang has already known about it, he doesn't need to put gold on it anymore. Lao Zhang, he's confused! ”

Zhou Ziru smiled lightly: "King Anxi... Maybe it's also for the sake of the people of Limin, after all, among the eight feudatories, Anxi has been fighting for years... But Beiyi is an unfed jackal, if it really falls... It's going to be ruined..."

"Of course I know, why is this old Zhang confused!" The King of the Northland was furious.

Zhou Ziru comforted: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, the past is over, let's discuss it... How to deal with the next thing. ”

"You mean Beiyi..."

The King of the Northland is like a deflated ball, and his eyes are full of tiredness.

"An army of millions... How can this be fought? Even if there are a million arrows in my northland, there may not be a million! A sense of powerlessness welled up in the heart of the King of the Northland.

Zhou Ziru said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, there is a way to do this, but... It's hard to say. ”

"Can you retreat?" The King of the Northland asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" Zhou Ziru nodded heavily.

"Speak! As long as you can retreat from the enemy, this king will depend on you for everything! Wait a minute... You won't want this king's head... Go and surrender, right? ”

The king of the Northland just showed some pride, and suddenly became a little timid. It's not that he's afraid of death, it's just that he's not ready...

Zhou Ziru was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, what did the prince say?" Even if our hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are exhausted, we must also protect the prince! ”

The King of the Northland was just a little relieved, and Zhou Ziru continued: "But... Actually, it's pretty much the same. We are not trying to deceive, but to deceive. ”

"Fraud?"

"Yes, abandon this and return to the city, and lure the enemy deeper. Now that the Beiyi soldiers are outside the fortress, we are fighting with them in the field, and we are very at a loss. But if you want to lead him into the Central Plains..."

The King of the Northland slammed the table: "Zhou family boy! I asked myself if I was a loyal general, but I would never let the Beiyi soldiers enter the customs with my own hands! This king doesn't care if your plan is sincere, just test me, I only have one word, and I will never leave the city half a step! ”

"The elite of the entire Great Apocalypse is here, and we are staying here, and sooner or later we will be consumed alive by Beiyi! The prince is guarding the return to the city, is it to let the elite of the Great Apocalypse come to the funeral for one of the prince's beliefs? ”

"If the soldiers and horses are lost, the whole Great Apocalypse will be destroyed! The whole Central Plains! What should the people do? ”

The king of the north was speechless by Zhou Ziru's argument, and clenched his fists...

He also knew that Zhou Ziru's method was right, and he even guessed the way to defeat Beiyi after abandoning and returning to the city. That's a lack of food!

In the Beiyi grassland, cattle and sheep can be grazed everywhere, and they can also be slaughtered at any time to serve as military food.

But once they enter the customs, the cattle and sheep are not so easy to carry at any time. As long as the grain route is cut off at that time, Beiyi's advantage will immediately turn into a disadvantage.

Without food and grass, it is only a matter of time before the army is defeated.

Zhou Ziru looked at the king of Beidi who bowed his head, and then said: "Lord Wang, as long as Beiyi is finally defeated, no one will remember that the prince let the Beiyi people enter the customs, and the people will be too late to thank the prince!" ”

"Your Zhou family's method... Absolutely risky, but the final result is good. Now that you've thought about it, you don't have to ask me..."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Zhou Ziru was also a little embarrassed at this time, Guicheng was the capital of the King of the Northland for 600 years, and it was also the home of the King of the Northland, and now he persuaded the other party to give up the ancestral business that he had survived for 600 years, and it was normal to have some resistance.

But fortunately, the king of the Northland understands the righteousness and knows how to make trade-offs. If you change to other princes, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out of the gate of the palace.

"Did Zhou Xiang discuss this matter with those two grandfathers?"

Zhou Ziru was silent for a while, and said: "Duke Wuding is unconscious, and it is difficult to discuss. As for the Loyal Father..."

Li Dingxing has a grudge against Zhou Ziru in his heart, how can Zhou Ziru not be the same?

When someone's father and brother were newly mourned, they fell into the well with a roar. What surprised him even more was that in the end, Li Dingxing took the initiative to apply to the imperial court for the withdrawal of the domain, and even in the many major battles in various domains later, Li Dingxing led the Southern Huai Army to actively participate in the war...

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziru was quite ashamed in his heart, but he didn't show a little bit on weekdays.

"Over there, the two grandfathers... There won't be any problems. ”

One sentence passed by vaguely, Zhou Ziru could only do so.

The king of the North Land is also a smart man, and when he saw Zhou Ziru like this, he no longer asked, but negotiated a detailed plan with him.

"We can't just abandon the city and leave, there is no shortage of capable people in Beiyi, such as that Huyanlan, who will definitely be able to see through our strategy!"

Zhou Ziru shook his head: "Hu Yanlan is dead, don't worry." However, it is true that we can't abandon the city directly, if Beiyi sees through this plan again, and occupies the city and does not come out, it is we who are passive. ”

"So what to do?"

"We need to lose a game first, and then leave some men to defend this city... We need some important people..."

"Then this king, there is no one more suitable than this king." After a conversation between the king of the north and Zhou Ziru, he seemed to be mentally prepared, and his words often revealed the intention of death.

"Now the soldiers and horses of all walks of life in the city are intricate, although I can command these 500,000 soldiers and horses, it is not good to do too much... Let's discuss the bait again..."

The two finalized some other details, such as how to defeat, where to set up an ambush to introduce Beiyi into the Central Plains, and talked about the bright moon hanging high.

Although Guicheng is a big city, only the Northland Royal Mansion is the safest in the city. Yi Xiaodao, Li Dingxing, Zhou Ziru and others all lived in the Northland Palace.

In Yi Xiaodao's room, He Yue'er took a warm towel and carefully wiped his face.

"It's still like this, it's like falling asleep." He Yue'er muttered to herself.

She had imagined this scene countless times, the tired Yi Xiaodao was pillowed on her lap, and she carefully wiped the dust for him to soothe the tiredness. But who knows that it was only realized in this case, and the unconscious Yi Xiaodao was like a living dead...

A figure quietly opened the door and crept into the room.

"Did you hear that?" He Yue'er didn't look back, but asked directly.

"Master, I overheard something, they are going to abandon and return to the city..."
