"My lord, the spies sent to the border of Huanzhou have come to report that now the local troops in Huanzhou are constantly rushing to Cangyuan City, and there is no movement of troops."

In the capital of Lianhuan, a messenger in the government reported to several adults.

"Very good, now the army of the King of Chu should still be in the convergence stage, we have enough time!"

"You must keep an eye on the situation in Cangyuan City at all times, and report any movement immediately."

He Qingfeng, the prefect of Lianhuan Mansion, showed joy and continued to command:

"Immediately notify the remaining seven county guards, each county will send 20,000 troops, at least three grandmasters, and rush to Linhuan County 30 miles overnight, and follow my army to take back Linhuan County tomorrow morning to eliminate the vanguard army of King Chu!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the messenger quickly went down to send a message.

"My lord, how many troops are we going to send?"

A young general in armor in the palace asked, he was the governor of Lianhuan Mansion, He Shibin.

"Of the 50,000 troops, only 10,000 guards are left to defend it." He Qingfeng glanced at He Shibin and said, "You go and inform the various families in the capital now, our army will set off in an hour, and they can send as many soldiers and horses as they can to follow now, and if they can't send it, they will continue to send it tomorrow!" ”

"After we eliminate the vanguard army of Linhuan County, we will gather all our forces in Linhuan City to resist the arrival of the army of King Chu in Linhuan City, and in three days later, the Venerables of other great forces will descend on Linhuan City first, and our landlord will also arrive."

Hearing He Qingfeng's words, He Shibin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Father, this time the commander of the Lianhuan Mansion army will be handed over to me to command." ”

"There is no distinction between father and son in the government, call me an adult, and I will not change my teaching!" He Qingfeng looked at He Shibin angrily.

"Yes, sir, I forgot again." He Shibin smiled embarrassedly, "Then I'm ......"

He Qingfeng looked at He Shibin's appearance, his face shook, and he said coldly:

"You have the highest position in the entire Lianhuan Mansion army, who will you send if Lord Ben doesn't send you?"

"Yes, my lord, I will go down and prepare immediately, and make sure that the army will be ready in an hour!"

He Shibin suddenly showed joy, and immediately went down to prepare after clasping his fists and saluting.

"Haha, the nephew has to seize the opportunity this time, if the landlord takes a fancy to it, when the war is about to start, it will soar into the sky!"

There were a few people in the mansion, all of them were martial artists wearing the costumes of the Wind Blood Building, and the one who spoke was the elder who was guarding the Lianhuan Capital City, Zheng Zhaoyan, the peak elder of the Heavenly Martial Realm, he looked at He Qingfeng and said with a smile.

He has known He Qingfeng for many years and can be regarded as friends in the world.

However, He Qingfeng showed a sense of worry, looked at Zheng Zhaoyan and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zheng, can you give me a bottom, according to the reports of the cities of Linhuan County, the troops sent by the King of Chu are about 100,000, and the vanguard general is the famous Zhong Liyi, and the army under his command is an elite division,"

"Although we can draw 200,000 troops, these are a group of rabble, if we fight them head-on, I am afraid that they will be defeated in one battle, how can we defeat Zhong Liyi."

He Qingfeng, as the prefect of Lianhuan Mansion, naturally knows the situation of the guards in each county, although the counties say that there are 30,000 guards guarding the town, but these 30,000 guards are very watery, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled, some generals are controlled by various families, and their ability to collect money is very strong.

The guards of ordinary cities are rotten from top to bottom.

Zheng Zhaoyan smiled and said: "Brother He, don't worry, you will know when you arrive at Linhuan County, and their troops are scattered in various cities, Linhuan County only has 10,000 troops to defend it, and when we solve Zhong Liyi, the army has no main general, and the 200,000 army is swarming up, and they can be killed by the number of people." ”

"Then how do we solve Zhong Liyi?" He Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he naturally knew the benefits of solving the general, so he hurriedly reminded:

"When Zhong Liyi was in the battle in Huanzhou, he slashed the head of the Zhou family in the Fazun realm with one shot, although he was the peak martial general of the Tianwu Realm, he could be regarded as having the combat power of the Fazun Realm."

"Hehe, Brother He, you can rest assured, Zhong Liyi had a lot of luck in assassinating the Zhou family master with one shot, and he borrowed the increase of the army, he only has 10,000 troops now, that is, he can increase it, where can the increase go!" Zheng Zhaoyan disagreed, and his tone was full of disdain.

Seeing Zheng Zhaoyan's confident appearance, He Qingfeng probably thought of some hole cards, and a smile appeared on his face.

That's a big credit for nothing.

……………………

Cangyuan City is the border city of Huanzhou, and seventy miles out of the city is the territory of Lianzhou.

At this moment, one army after another arrived in Cangyuan City from all over Huanzhou.

"General Meng, now that Cangyuan City has gathered 400,000 troops, can we enter Lianzhou first now?"

On the city wall, Xu Chu, who was wearing armor and burly, couldn't wait to ask Meng Tian next to him, his eyes revealing a fierce fighting intent.

If you don't fight anymore, your body will be rusty.

Meng Tian, who was tall, was dressed in dark gold scale armor, his thick eyebrows revealed calmness, his eyes were staring at the direction of Lianzhou, the cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, and in the face of Xu Chu's question, he didn't look back, and said lightly:

"When will General Ma Chao and General Guan Sheng arrive?"

"Report to the general, General Ma Chao and General Guan Sheng will arrive tomorrow." Chen Wei next to him said respectfully.

"Tomorrow?"

Meng Tian's bright eyes turned slightly, and he nodded: "Is there any change in the Lianhuan Capital City?" ”

"In this ......, the people who have collected the net have not heard from them!" Chen Wei lowered his head and said.

At this moment, a figure as fast as a ghost moved to the city wall, half-kneeling on the ground and respectfully said to Meng Tian:

"Report to General Meng, Lianhuan Capital City issued an order to the remaining five counties two hours ago, each sent 20,000 escort soldiers to Linhuan County overnight, and attack Linhuan County tomorrow, according to Luo Wang's investigation of the situation in Lianhuan Mansion, this time the troops sent to each county plus the forces of the county government, Lianhuan Mansion may send troops to 200,000."

Meng Tian's eyes did not fluctuate at all, and he said calmly: "Well, inform General Zhong Liyi to continue as planned!" ”

Xu Chu's eyes widened: "They are moving so fast, General Meng, don't we leave early!" ”

"No, there are a lot of eyes staring at this place now, as soon as we move, the people of Lianhuan Mansion will know that if the army they have gathered retreats again, we will be in a lot of trouble." Meng Tian's face remained unchanged.

"Uh......"

Xu Chu heard Meng Tian's words, and the words were understood, but he couldn't understand them when they were connected.

Isn't it a good thing that the army has retreated?

Meng Tian looked at Xu Chuhan scratching the back of his head, his sharp gaze softened, and explained:

"Lianhuan Mansion has a total of eight counties, after we take Linhuan County, Lianhuan Mansion will definitely react, if our army descends on Linhuan County, the Lianzhou Alliance will be more urgent, their support will be faster, and Lianhuan Mansion will turn from offensive to defensive."

"Oh...... That's right. Xu Chuhan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Meng Tian watched Xu Chu scratch the back of his head faster, turned his gaze into the distance, and continued:

"The seven counties of Lianhuan Mansion are scattered, if our army attacks, in their defensive state, it is easy to waste unnecessary time, and as one of the two counties controlled by Fengxue Building, it is likely that there are hidden means in it, which is easy to add trouble to us, so our best way is to force the power of Lianhuan Mansion out, let Fengxue Mansion take the initiative to reveal its hidden strength, and then solve them in a battle, and then the army will set off again, drive straight in, and take Lianhuan Mansion faster."

"Oh! So, I see! Xu Chu nodded quickly, "Then when can we leave?" ”

"After Zhong Liyi solves them tomorrow, you can go to Lianhuan Mansion with Ma Chao and Guan Sheng."

"Okay!"

……………………………………

On the second day, the sky was hazy, fifty miles away from Linhuan County, the originally very quiet mountains and forests were extremely lively today, all kinds of armies with different colors of clothing and armor gathered here, many bright generals greeted each other when they talked about it, and those ordinary soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, leaning on the trees, lying on the ground and seizing the time to rest.

They didn't know what was going on, so they knew that they had been rushing to Linhuan County under the scorching sun since noon yesterday, and they couldn't stop for a moment.

In the very center, Zheng Zhaoyan, He Shibin, the lieutenants of the six counties, some family leaders and other high-level people gathered.

"Elder Zheng, we have all arrived on time now, so you can tell us how to fight."

A middle-aged man who exuded the aura of the peak of the Grandmaster Realm spoke, he was a member of the Liu family, the top big family of Lianhuan Mansion, Liu He.

"Well, that's right, we all listen to Elder Zheng's orders."

Other representatives of the various families who followed him also spoke.

Zheng Zhaoyan swept over everyone and said with a smile:

"Everyone should know the purpose of our arrival, and we will prepare to set off after a quarter of an hour's rest to attack Linhuan County."

"As for how to attack, this time the commander of our army is He Shibin, General He, let him explain it to us."

He Shibin, who was next to Zheng Zhaoyan, had a straight face, and his heart was surging when he looked at everyone, he knew that his fame was today.

And the opponent's enemy general is still the famous Zhong Liyi!

He Shibin cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Everyone, the king of Chu has been planning for our Linhuan County for a long time, and the sudden attack last night made us unable to guard against it, causing Linhuan County to lose its head overnight, this time we are bound to solve the vanguard army of the king of Chu and wipe them all out, since they can take Linhuan County overnight, we can also recapture Linhuan County in one day." ”

"But the enemy will be Zhong Liyi, the top general under the command of the King of Chu, how can we defeat him?" Liu He asked.

Everyone else nodded.

"Haha, I've already discussed this with Elder Zheng, so when we get to Linhuan County, the first step is to solve Zhong Liyi first!" He Shibin smiled confidently.

"How to fix it?" Captain Yang of Qingyu County asked.

"That's the fighter!"

"Fighter?"

Looking at He Shibin's smug expression, everyone was stunned for a while.

Fighting with Zhongliyi?

Crazy!

Many people had this idea in their hearts, but looking at Zheng Zhaoyan's calm expression next to him, everyone swallowed back the words that they were about to question.

He Shibin enjoyed everyone's astonishment and said excitedly: "That's right, Zhong Liyi is a famous general under the command of King Chu, powerful and confident, if we choose to fight, he will definitely accept it!" ”

"But who are we going to send to fight?" A general asked, and his gaze unconsciously looked at Zheng Zhaoyan.

Not only him, but almost everyone's eyes were on Zheng Zhaoyan, because he was the only one at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

But can Elder Zheng really defeat Zhong Liyi?

At this moment, some people had the heart to retreat, not because they didn't believe in Elder Zheng, but who didn't know that Zhong Liyi was a top martial general who could kill the Fazun Realm.

"The old man doesn't make a move, and there are other people who take action against Zhong Liyi." Zheng Zhaoyan smiled and looked at He Shibin with a hint of appreciation.

He originally planned to let the Venerable Refining go directly to Linhuan County City to attack Zhong Liwu and kill him directly.

But when confessing to He Shibin, He Shibin thought of a good way to prevent the Refining Venerable from going to Linhuan County City to sneak attack, after all, the Refining Venerable went to Linhuan County City alone in case one accidentally let Zhong Liyi escape.

Therefore, He Shibin's method was to wait for them to arrive at Linhuan County, send a peak powerhouse of the Tianwu Realm to lure Zhong Liyi out of the city to fight, and then let the Refining Venerable sneak attack, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong!

Hearing Elder Zheng's words, everyone wondered again, who was it if it wasn't Elder Zheng?

"It's another Heavenly Martial Realm peak elder from our Wind Blood Building, Elder Huang!"

He Shibin waved and pointed in the other direction, his face was excited, and he made an inviting gesture.

Everyone looked in his direction, only to see seven imposing warriors walking out of the crowd of Fengxue Building.

Liu He, Yang Xiaowei and other grandmaster-level powerhouses had sudden eyes, because they sensed that the aura emitted by these seven people was very powerful!

Could it be that they are all Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses!

Zheng Zhaoyan saw everyone's expressions and said with a smile:

"So far, we won't hide it from you, in fact, in addition to sending the old man and the elder Dye to Lianhuan Capital City and Linhuan County, our Fengxue Building also has a Tianwu Realm powerhouse hidden in other counties."

The faces of the people were shocked, and then they were happy and excited.

So there are eight Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses in their army, so what are you afraid of Zhong Liyi doing?

"Meet Elder Huang, Elders!"

As the seven Elder Huang of the Wind Blood Building came over, everyone saluted one after another.

Among them, the person in the middle is the most imposing, and it is the Elder Huang mentioned by He Shibin.

"Well, don't worry, Zhong Liyi will be handed over to me!"

Elder Huang, who had frost on his temples, stood with his hands behind his back, showing a very confident expression to everyone.

"With Elder Huang here, we can rest assured!"

"That's right, no matter how strong Zhong Liyi is, how can he be Elder Huang's opponent!"

Everyone boasted one after another, they didn't know if Elder Huang could do it, but there were already eight Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses on their side, and they would definitely be able to do it!

They are confident at the moment.

"Elder Zheng, General He, there are two disciples of the Wind and Blood Building who have escaped from Linhuan County."

Just as everyone was touting, a small leader with two ragged and scarred disciples of the Wind Blood Building quickly walked over from the middle of the team.

As soon as these two exhausted Fengxue Mansion disciples saw Elder Zheng and the elders of Fengxue Building, their faces were extremely excited, as if they had no strength, they took a few steps, quickly knelt in front of Zheng Zhaoyan, and cried:

"Elder Zheng, Elder Zheng, you must avenge us, our disciples in Linhuan County died so miserably, only the two of us escaped."

"Pan Yunqiu, Wang Hongxing, you two escaped?"

Zheng Zhaoyan saw these two familiar faces, and his eyes were also quite excited: "What about Elder Dye, how is Elder Dye?" ”

Pan Yunqiu and Wang Hongxing's expressions of crying and sobbing eased, and the two glanced at each other invisibly, and the crying became louder:

"Elder Zheng, you must avenge Elder Ran, in order for our disciples to escape, Elder Ran dealt with Zhong Liyi alone, and finally ...... Finally...... "Pan Yunqiu couldn't cry.

"In the end, we were the only ones who escaped!" Wang Hongxing said with great grief.

"Damn, don't worry, the old man will definitely avenge Elder Ran!"

When Zheng Zhaoyan heard these two simple descriptions, he could imagine the dark night, the surrounding fires burning, dyeing the faces of the elders who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and the majestic body facing the terrifying Zhong Liyi alone for the lives of the disciples.

Everyone saw the two of them crying bitterly, and they sighed one by one, and they could also imagine the tragedy of Elder Ran's heroic righteousness.

"Don't worry, Zhong Liyi will die in our hands, and our Fengxue Building must let Zhong Liyi's blood debt be repaid!" Elder Huang revealed an unprecedented fierce light.

He knew that he couldn't kill Zhong Liyi, but the hidden Refining Venerable would definitely be able to, as long as he tricked Zhong Liyi out of the city and fought with him, and the Refining Venerable attacked from behind, Zhong Liyi would be dead!

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, everyone led the army to Linhuan County with great momentum.
