Chapter 174, Emperor Liu
Tianshui River.
The big river is surging, rushing and surging, and the waves are surging, among which there are countless fish and turtles, and all kinds of frost compete for freedom.
In the past, the Tianshui River, which was quiet and peaceful, raised countless fishermen on both sides of the river, but now, there is no trace of a fishing boat.
On the north and south sides of it, the three kings' army and the water army camp are stationed, the warships are lined up, the war clouds are shrouded, and naturally the fishermen on the banks of the Tianshui River are no longer seen.
"Three thousand miles of Tianshui River, the width of this section of the water area can be dozens of miles wide, and there are more than ten miles in the narrow, which is enough to be used as a water war platform."
Fang Rui looked down and sighed.
"Do you have a chance to succeed in this battle?" Yu Yunlan asked.
"Bamboo in the chest!"
"Bamboo in the chest?"
Yu Yunlan was stunned for a moment, but with her ice and snow intelligence, she quickly understood the meaning of the word.
Speaking of which, she is also used to getting along with Fang Rui, Fang Rui can always pop out of his mouth with some strange words, and can tell some wonderful little stories based on this.
"Hahaha, speaking of which, the word 'confident' also involves a little story."
Fang Rui said with a smile: "Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was good at painting bamboo ......."
In order to help him realize Hongchen and achieve a clean body, he can be regarded as doing his best, and often solicits and quotes from the sidelines, hoping to bring her more spiritual touch.
β¦β¦
Return to the camp of the Three Kings Army.
Fang Rui went to find Guan Zhi.
"Lord!"
Guan Zhi stood up and bowed.
Under Fang Rui's secret promotion, at this time, he had become the commander of the 1.2 million army.
"No need to be polite."
Between Fang Rui's sleeves, an invisible force surged, helping Guan Zhi to his feet.
'My lord is still so unfathomable, even if I am now at the top of the grade, it is difficult to match it!' β
Guan Zhi sighed secretly and asked respectfully: "I don't know if the lord is here, do you have any orders?" β
"I didn't have any orders, I just wanted to ask, General Guan, look, what are the chances of our side winning this battle?"
"This ......"
"It's okay, just tell the truth."
"It's only one or two."
"Oh?!"
Fang Rui was slightly surprised.
There are many people on the side of the Three Kings Army, and the soldiers on the side of the Dayu Army are elite, and the outside world thinks that the two sides are half a catty, but who would have thought that Guan Zhi is so lacking in confidence.
"Lordship."
Guan Zhi said: "Our army seems to be fighting more and more, but the quality of the soldiers has actually dropped extremely much, saying that it is 1.2 million, but less than half of them are elite, and they are not good at water warfare. β
"Besides, I have heard of Yan Jixiang, the commander of the Yu Army, that he is heavy with soldiers, especially good at water warfare, and I am far from it."
He did not hide his shortcomings: "My original intention was not to be good at water warfare, so I would delay it and turn water warfare into land warfare; But if the stalemate continues, give Dayu time, and the opponent's forces will gather more and more; On the other hand, on our side, the soldiers are gradually becoming comfortable, and they are afraid that they will fall......"
In the final analysis, it is still the foundation of the Three Kings' forces, which is far less than Dayu.
Even if the strength of the three kings now occupies the land of the six states of Yuan, Rao, Liang, Wu, Yi, and Kang, compared with occupying the thirteen states, Dayu, who has more fertile land, a larger area, and a more stable basic plate, is still at a disadvantage.
In addition, Da Yu has accumulated a lot of power for thousands of years - even now, within the Three Kings forces, they generally do not think that they can overthrow Da Yu, and now every victory is a profit in their eyes, and after occupying the six states, many people are even more satisfied, with a similar 'small wealth is peace', and want to stop and enjoy.
Don't you know: this is a war of life and death, and if you don't win, you will die?
"These disadvantages are objective, but I have a clever plan."
"My lord, could it be...... Fire attack?! β
"The use of soldiers is ruthless, and there is no fire and water. If the plan of fire attack can be achieved, it will not be difficult to destroy the million-strong army of Da Yu, even if the Da Yu Wuji True Monarch cannot interfere.
Can ......"
Fang Rui shook his head: "As you said, Yan Jixiang is cautious in his use of soldiers, and he will take extra precautions against this plan, and playing with those old foxes is tantamount to asking for his own death." β
"If you want to win this battle, in my opinion, you have to find external forces......"
"Report!"
At this time, suddenly an order came to report: "General Guan, there is an envoy from the Yu army outside the camp who is visiting!"
"Please come in! I want to see what tricks Yan Dashuai, known as the 'Dragon of the Water Master', can come up with. Fang Rui said, his figure was already hidden.
"I've seen General Guan!"
The envoy of the Yu army was invited in and presented a gift box: "Yan Shuai of our army, I have specially ordered me to come here to give a gift to General Guan." β
"Oh?"
Guan Zhi stood with his beard stroking, and his green face did not see joy or anger, but he had an awe-inspiring majesty.
The two pro-soldiers immediately stepped forward and opened the gift box, only to find that it was a women's dress.
Humiliate!
This is naked humiliation!
"Bold!" The two pro-soldiers scolded angrily, as if as long as Guan Zhi gave an order, he would pull the envoy down and cut it down.
This envoy of the Yu army is also a person, and at this time he said calmly: "Yan Shuai has a word, why did the three kings avoid the rebellion?" Are you afraid of me, an old horseman, afraid of defeat, and become a fish and turtle? β
Guan Zhixin, he will not wear this women's dress to show his old turtle-like mentality, but he will not be provoked and lose his mind.
- He came from a humble background in his early years, and he was often blinded, and he had already tempered his mentality.
But at this time, he suddenly received a message from Fang Rui: "General Guan might as well plan and agree to fight in ten days." β
Guan Zhi's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he pulled out his sword with a pretended 'click', and broke the table case with a sword: "Old horseman, why do you underestimate me Guan Zhi?" β
"The two armies are at war, and they don't come to fight. You go back and tell Old Pifu Yan that in ten days, I will fight him to the death on the Tianshui River!" β
Wait for the envoys of the Yu army to leave.
"Lord, you have invited to fight this time, but you already have a plan to break the enemy?"
"Yes, in ten days, our army will win this battle."
"Dare to ask ......"
"Heaven must not be divulged."
Fang Rui shook his head.
If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; If the minister is not secret, he will lose his body; If the machine is not secret, it will be harmed. Even to Guan Zhi, the commander of the Three Kings Army, he will not reveal his plans.
β¦β¦
The envoys of the Yu army not only visited Guan Zhi, the commander of the Three Kings Army, but also the three kings of Cao Wei, Li Tang, and Liu Han, all of whom asked to see him.
β¦β¦
"Envoy of the Yu Army? Missing! Missing! β
Cao Min, the king of Wei, was only a thirteen-year-old child, and at this time, he was practicing calligraphy hard.
Yes, he thought that going to the front line in person was just to play the role of a mascot and boost morale, but he didn't want to...... I still have to learn.
Learn? Learn a fart!
Of course, no one knows that Cao Min, a bear child, also has his own scheming.
'I, the king of Wei, deserve to be worse than my father, and those ministers deceive me when I am young and hold great power...... I also know that behind them, there is that man......
Cao Min thought of the unfathomable figure like a ghost, and his body trembled subconsciously.
'Patience! Endure! Endure! I'm going to endure it! β
He roared in his heart, sketched with the tip of his pen, and actually wrote the word 'forbearance'.
At this time, it suddenly happened.
"Ahh
Cao Min exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly took the ink and blackened the word 'forbearance'.
β¦β¦
When the envoys of the Yu army asked to see him, Li Yu, the king of Tang, was embracing Queen Zhou and watching the Tianshui River in Yunshuitai.
"Envoy of the Yu Army? It doesn't have to be seen. β
Li Yu could guess what the envoy of the Yu army would say, which was nothing more than provocative words.
But he understands one thing: he is doing well now, it is definitely much better than being defeated and captured, as long as he knows this, it is enough.
"King, we may win this battle?" Queen Zhou asked.
"Definitely."
Having said that, Li Yu actually didn't have any confidence in his heart.
Like Guan Zhi, he still has a point on what the Three Kings Army now claims to be the '1.2 million army'.
If you can win this battle, you will win in Lord Demon Ancestor, and I hope that Lord will be able to save the sky this time. β
Li Yu secretly prayed in his heart.
β¦β¦
"Today, everyone knows that there is a great sage behind the three kings, this person has the strength of the sky, the wisdom is unparalleled, and the three kings are actually their puppets...... In the future, even if the Three Kings Army sweeps the world, whose world is this world? Please also ask the king to think about it carefully, and don't marry others! β
After the departure of the envoy of Dayu.
Liu Yun was alone in the palace, pacing for a long time.
Just as Fang Rui said at the beginning, if it was of great use to him, this person could endure humiliation, even if he cooked his own father, he could taste salty.
But the premise of all forbearance and humiliation is for his own hegemony, if it is for other people's wedding dresses, then it can't.
"How deep is that influence on me Liu Han?"
Liu Yun suddenly remembered that when he decided to cooperate with Cao Wei and Li Tang and go out to the southwest, it seemed that he was affected by some kind of influence and suddenly changed his mind.
It made him horrified.
For a king, it is absolutely intolerable for his own will to be manipulated and influenced.
"It is true that the Three Kings forces are in a good situation now. But if this great inheritance does not belong to me, is there still a need for it to exist? β
Liu Yun muttered, his eyes deep.
Day.
Liu Yun summoned his subordinates and tentatively proposed whether he could fight for the position of commander of the battle against Dayu, but the opposition was overwhelming, so he gave up.
This temptation allowed him to witness with his own eyes that a large number of 'loyal ministers' under his command regarded the interests of the three kings' forces as exceeding the interests of Liu Han, which can be described as shockingly infiltrated.
Night.
Liu Yun convened two or three henchmen to discuss countermeasures.
However, what he did not expect was that the meeting ended on the front foot, and on the back foot, the so-called henchmen sold him.
β¦β¦
"Tsk, what kind of goods did I choose here! A lying salary tastes gall; One knows only pleasure; One was even backstabbing me to get rid of the influence and try to stand on my own. β
Fang Rui smiled playfully, and there were three things in front of him.
One is the transcript of the secret meeting between Liu Yun, the king of Han, and his henchmen.
"The battle of Tianshui River cannot be lost. To put it mildly, this is an important step to win all the way and overturn Dayu; To put it mildly, the robbery points I invested in before also need to be recovered by war. β
Fang Rui shook his robe and stood up: "Therefore, all those who hinder the victory of this battle are enemies of our Rui."
Tang King Li Yu, this person is still interesting, you want to have fun, I will satisfy you, you will not live up to me, I will not live up to you;
Cao Min, the king of Wei, if you want to bear it, let you endure it first, wait for this battle, and then settle accounts after the autumn;
Liu Yun, the king of Han, this unstable factor must be dealt with immediately......"
β¦β¦
Han King's Palace.
Fang Rui suddenly came to him.
"Sir?" A flash of panic flashed in Liu Yun's eyes, but there was nothing on his face.
"I've heard that King Han is sick."
"Huh?"
Liu Yun was surprised: "The lonely king is not sick, which villain said this?" The gentleman told me that tomorrow I would kill him. β
"Oh, probably a rumor."
Fang Rui didn't answer, but said again: "I heard that King Han convened a secret meeting of his henchmen tonight, this is also a rumor?" β
"This ...... Listen to my explanation, sir......"
Liu Yun's face changed drastically, and he suddenly turned pale.
He secretly decided that today, if he could escape this catastrophe, the two or three henchmen would never be able to ask for it, and they would kill him.
"Why does the King of Han have to explain to me? Let's talk about the 'Han King has a disease'! β
Fang Rui said, and suddenly stepped forward, as if shrinking into inches, ignoring Liu Yun's dragon qi manifestation, ignoring Liu Yun's martial arts cultivation, and grabbed the other party's neck.
ββThis person was funded by him at the beginning, and half of the martial arts under his command came from him, and the dragon luck and civil and military luck manifested, which naturally had a limited effect on him. And the Martial Dao Martial Saint cultivator, facing him, the True Monarch of the Xuan Domain, is even more like a joke.
"The lonely king is not sick...... No disease...... Yes! β
"No, if I say you're sick, you're sick."
Fang Rui's spiritual power condensed a gray qi needle and pierced Liu Yun's chest, causing the person to fall on his back.
β¦β¦
Next.
There is news that Liu Yun, the king of Han, was bedridden with a stroke and couldn't speak.
β¦β¦
Tianshui Hebei, Yu army camp.
"Han King Liu Yun, waste! It didn't even make a splash, and it was suppressed. β
Yan Zhaonian scolded angrily.
When he was in the three southwestern states, he broke through the blockade of Guanzhi and broke out with Cao Meng, the king of Wei, and he was the only bright color of the defeat in the three southwestern states, and he was not held accountable on the surface.
"That's it, there is not much hope, for the commander, all the conspiracies and tricks will eventually return to the battlefield."
This time, the commander of the Yu army, Yan Jixiang, known as the 'Dragon of the Water Division', heard the news, just waved his hand, and immediately continued to bury his head and study the map painstakingly.
"Dad, pay attention to your body! Haven't we already analyzed that this water war can be described as nine out of ten? β
"Confused...... Ahem, ahem! β
Yan Jixiang patted his chest, and after a cough, he said, "Didn't I teach you?" Soldiers, sinister things, no matter how cautious they are. β
"Look at me, Guan Zhi, the commander of the Three Kings Army, gave women's clothes again, and said wildly, 'Let it become a fish and turtle', but in reality, how can there be the slightest neglect?"
"It's not like walking on thin ice, cautiously, repeatedly consulting various materials and studying maps......
"Daddy, the child has been taught."
Yan Zhaonian naturally understands this, but he just cares about his father's body.
"It's the child's incompetence that implicates the father."
He hid his face in shame.
Don't look at the battle in the three southwestern states, Yan Zhaonian brought back Cao Meng, the king of Wei, but that battle also damaged the three princes Ying Yan, and was hated by Emperor Yongding, if not, why did Yan Jixiang gamble on his fame before and after?
After all, if this battle is won, it will only be the icing on the cake for Yan Jixiang; But if it is defeated, it will be a lifetime of fame.
"Ready to fly, don't say that kind of thing."
Yan Jixiang sighed, and suddenly clutched his chest: "I don't know why, I suddenly felt uneasy? No, we can't delay until ten days later, and tomorrow we will take the whole army on board. β
He is a true natural general, and in many immersive trials in the realm of too illusory, he has sharpened his keen battlefield intuition, and the crisis of this battlefield intuitive feedback is unprecedented, which is simply terrifying.
"This ...... Dad, didn't we make an agreement in ten days? Wouldn't such a lack of faith damage to the prestige of our great country? β
"Soldiers, treacherous, what do you say without faith?"
Yan Jixiang snorted: "As for it, what kind of great power is majestic? β
"Ten thousand years ago, I was a new country, and there were still countless small countries in the south, and there was one of them, called Black Sero, whose people were dark-skinned...... At that time, I, Emperor Yu, showed benevolence and gave the Hecyro people super-standard treatment in my Dayu, the law was lenient, and there were more subsidies, but guess what? This countryman has an arrogant attitude and lewds my country's female ......"
"The descendant Emperor Yu, ordered my ancestor of the Yan family to send troops to destroy this country, capture the Black Sero people as slaves, whip them, and shackle them, and the Black Sero people have become more obedient than sheep and more obedient than animals."
"Well, how do you feel about this history?"
"My father wanted to tell me that this country is like a man, and his head can be broken and blood can be shed, even his knees...... Can't be soft! β
"Nope."
Yan Jixiang kicked his son: "What are you talking about to me?" β
"Lao Tzu wants to tell you that the prestige and face of a great country are all false; Only fists and strength are practical! β
β¦β¦
The moon is bright in the sky, and the moon is bright.
Fang Rui was dressed in a green shirt, standing in the air, observing with the supernatural power 'Son of Heaven'.
On the north bank of the Tianshui River, Dayu has a million-strong army, and the military spirit is ironclad, strict and measured, and the anger is soaring; On the other hand, the Three Kings Army on the south bank is also full of military spirit and fierce spirit, but it gives people a feeling of being big and inappropriate.
"Yan Jixiang is worthy of being the 'Dragon of the Water Division', he has a good way of governing the army, at least, in the water war, Guan Zhi is far behind."
"If we meet the enemy on this, we will surely be defeated. Fortunately, I never thought of relying on this 1.2 million army to achieve victory. β
Fang Rui turned around and walked all the way to the upper reaches of the Tianshui River.
"Go!"
He swept through the millions of catastrophe points accumulated in the three states of Wu, Yi, and Kang with the army of the Three Kings, activated the supernatural power of 'gathering beasts and birds', derived a massive amount of demon yuan power, and sprinkled it into the water in the bright moonlight.
Whoa!
In the middle of the river, there was a sudden riot.
Water snakes, crucian carp, large turtles...... Countless water beasts surged, tracing the stream, coaxing and fighting, as if they were jumping over the dragon gate.
They are scrambling to be the first to meet this grand metamorphosis.
Yes! No one has ever stipulated that the supernatural power of 'gathering beasts and mixing birds' can only ignite birds, and all kinds of other beasts can naturally do it!
Fang Rui kept this hand just to use it as a hole card, and he finally used it at this time.
β¦β¦
In the summer of the thirty-third year of Yongding, in June, there was a demon road in the Tianshui River, spreading the emperor's slurry, and creating a water demon was not counted...... Its harm is evil, and it will be remembered by future generations.
