Li Xuan stood on the tower of the city gate, holding the hilt of his sword, his face indifferent.

The corners of the clothes blown by the wind were sunburning.

Beneath the city were piles of broken corpses.

The rock walls on both sides of the mountain road have long been smoked black.

The blood flowed down the mountain path and gradually converged into a small river!

It was very windy.

The strong wind had already blown the firewood and dead grass to ashes, and the smoke had long since been blown away.

Also blown away, there is the endless blood brought about by the slaughter.

The catapult didn't cause much killing, it caused more panic, and it was ordered to stop by Li Xuan soon after.

However, before the Tianyin Sect disciples under the city could rejoice, countless crossbow arrows on the city wall had already taken their lives.

All the Tianyin Cultists within the range of the crossbow arrows were ruthlessly slaughtered by Yan Tao and his men.

When Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen led the people down, there was only a pile of corpses left on the ground, and they could only kill farther away.

On the battlefield, no one will leave their hands behind.

This was an occasion for wanton killing.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked into the dense forest a few miles away, the sound of the wind came faintly, and he could hear the fighting momentum.

"Qiu Beishen and Captain Zhou, this time for the establishment of Qiu Shan, the court will definitely reward you." Feng Hua's voice sounded behind Li Xuan, and his voice was full of envy.

"A quarter of an hour to go, a quarter of an hour later, beat the drum and withdraw the troops." Li Xuan replied lightly.

Feng Hua was slightly stunned, and then looked at Li Xuan with a slightly wry smile: "Lord Wang, that's not what you mean." ”

"That's what this king means, killing too much will hurt Tianhe!" Li Xuan waved his hand lightly.

Feng Hua was slightly stunned, King Nanchang's words were inconsistent with his actions!

Immediately, Feng Hua reacted: "The prince is worried about the central ......"

"The mouth grows on other people's faces, and this king is helpless!" Li Xuan's voice was calm, but his face was very cautious.

"But also, before and after, the prince has defeated at least thousands of Heavenly Yin Sect bandits, if this is noticed, I'm afraid many people will be afraid." Feng Hua arched his hand at Li Xuan, and he clearly felt Li Xuan's caution.

As the king of the dynasty, Li Xuan needs to take care of not only the emperor, the prince and the queen of heaven, but also a group of important ministers in the court.

Confucianism has always been very wary of clan interference in political power.

From the two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, I don't know how many powerful clans finally sat on the throne of the emperor.

What Confucianism wants to see is a son of heaven who rules vertically and is at the mercy of Confucian ministers, rather than a county king with excellent ability to command troops and fight.

Once there is a threat, when the time comes, slander and slander, and all kinds of means of framing and framing will come immediately.

Even if it kills you, I have to add a sentence for your own good.

"The credit of this king is enough, no matter how much, someone in the court should come to Wuzhou to pick up the stubble of this king." Li Xuan's eyes crossed the mountains and looked in the direction of Shendu, his eyes were full of caution: "Maybe at this time, someone has already said bad things about this king in front of the crown prince and His Majesty." ”

This is almost inevitable, and the rise of any clan vassal king will greatly affect the interests of the courtiers.

If Li Xuan hadn't taken advantage of these things of the Tianyin Sect, it would have been impossible for him to have so many troops in his hands.

Perhaps the emperor sent him to be a mascot himself.

But alas, he is too capable of jumping.

"The prince is too worried, Your Majesty is holy and bright, and he can see thousands of miles, and the prince's talent is comparable to Fang Du Erxiang, enough to assist the Son of Heaven and govern the world, even if there is a villain instigating, he will definitely be reprimanded by His Majesty." Feng Hua arched his hand, looked in the direction of Shendu, and bowed his hand slightly.

Comparable to Fang Du, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, he had never thought of it like this.

The horse was a bit overshot.

At this time, I saw Feng Hua turn around, no longer continue the topic, looked at the place of the fight in the distance, and said softly: "To be honest, my subordinates are really a little envious of Brother Yan, and this time it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”

The infiltration of Wuzhou Bing Cao led to the assassination of Wang Fanglan, which was a crime that Yan Tao could not get rid of.

But after these few battles, Yan Tao's military exploits are really not small, and this time he not only cleared his responsibility, but was even expected to go further.

"Joining the army this time is also a great meritorious service, if the king's guess is right, when all this subsides, the army should be transferred elsewhere." After a pause, Li Xuan followed and said: "I don't know what the intention of joining the army is next, this king still has some relationship with the general as a supervisor in the Ministry of Industry, if he intends to join the army, this king can still move one or two, as for other states and counties, this king is powerless." ”

"Then it's troublesome for the prince!" Feng Hua did not hesitate at all, and immediately made a choice.

In any case, it is impossible for him to continue to stay in Wuzhou.

If you continue to be in the state and county, it is nothing more than Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Suzhou and Yangzhou, but there is a center in front, who cares about other places.

Suddenly, Feng Hua looked at Li Xuan as if he realized something: "Why, listening to the meaning of the prince, it seems that there is no longer a chance for me to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"In these battles of Meiling Pass, before and after, there are at least 3,000 Tianyin Sect disciples who have lost in our hands, but the Tianyin Sect is in the place where the incident started, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers who can be recruited in the end, and there are 3,000 less here, so we have to adjust it to other places, and make up for it here, so there will be less, and unconsciously, there will be a big hole in other places, and only Hangzhou and Yuezhou will seize the ......opportunity at that time."

"A battle is decided!" Feng Hua immediately realized the subtext in Li Xuan's words, and said with some surprise: "What the prince means is that Hangzhou and Yuezhou will not let us interfere anymore......"

"Maybe I'll be responsible for some small things, but the real big war, this king doesn't want to." Li Xuan smiled and said, "People are valued in contentment. ”

"That's fine." Feng Hua nodded approvingly, many things are not what they want.

Less is less, at least safer.

Li Xuan smiled faintly and didn't say more, but his eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Sanheguan.

The fact that the Tianyin Sect has a water army, I'm afraid the outside world doesn't know much.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows fiercely, glanced at the gloomy sky, felt the moisture in the air, and said to Li Zhu on the side: "It's time, beat the drum and collect the troops!" ”

……

In the endless dense forest, Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen led their soldiers to drive the panicked Tianyin Sect Guards in front of them to their garrison like a sheep.

The bow and arrow in his hand kept harvesting the lives of the last pawns, and he had no intention of leaving him alive.

From the time they left the city to the present, the number of Tianyin Sect guards who died directly under their hands has exceeded three hundred.

And more are the deaths and injuries of the Tianyin Sect Guards who ran and trampled in a panic under the fear of death.

At this time, Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen had already set their sights on the place where the Tianyin Sect was stationed.

Now there was already chaos there, tents, fences, etc., everything was kicked over in the chaos.

Qiu Zhenmu subconsciously looked back, behind them, Qi Guangzheng led his Wuzhou servants to quickly replenish the knife, and at the same time avoid being counterattacked from both wings.

Qiu Zhenmu nodded with satisfaction, Qi Guang is the kind of rare helper who does not rob the merit, but is very useful.

Turning his head, Qiu Zhenmu immediately walked towards Zhou Shen quickly, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, do I want to kill it directly or ...... next?"

"Let's set fire to it first, kill them on the perimeter, and let them trample on each other." Zhou Shen looked at the camp in the dense forest, frowned, and said: "That camp looks simple, but it is built according to the right way of the art of war. ”

"Yes!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately stood up.

The military order of the king of Nanchang is in front, once the three drums are over, the people can't go back, and the credit they have made must be gone.

Nanchang Wang absolutely does what he says in this regard.

Qiu Zhenmu immediately turned around, beckoned Qi Guang, and then gathered all the rockets under his command.

The camp of the Tianyin Sect was built in a valley, surrounded by only one main road, and the hills on both sides were not high, but full of trees.

There was a creek next to the camp, and it was the only place where the fire could be extinguished.

But now no one notices this at all.

"Release the arrows......" Qiu Zhenmu gave an order, and countless rockets had already shot directly into the valley.

In the blink of an eye, a thick flame immediately ignited in the valley, and countless figures inside scattered and fled, and there was chaos.

At this time, whoever stands up should not try to stop this chaos.

Because of this kind of thing, there is a proper name, called Yingxiao!

Qiu Zhenmu stood outside the flames, looking at the heat, because as long as he waited for a while, then he would immediately be able to lead the crowd to rush in and kill the essence.

However, he did not want to, and did not dare to disobey Li Xuan's military orders.

Li Xuan himself treats these people quite well, but the key is that up to now, the king of Nanchang has kept a letter for three days and sent it to Shendu.

He only needs to complain a little about one or two sentences, and a person's future will be completely over.

The sound of "dong dong dong ......" huge gongs and drums came from the south, and the sound resounded throughout this canyon.

Qiu Zhenmu's face was suddenly solemn, and he grabbed the hemp rope, although he was very reluctant to glance at the burning valley, Qiu Zhenmu still turned around immediately, and led a large group of people to converge with Zhou Shen, Qi Guang and others, and quickly walked in the direction of Meiling Pass.

Three-way drums, this time is not long.

It didn't take long for Meilingguan to appear in front of everyone.

I saw eight ladders lined up above the city gate, and eight hanging baskets were placed next to them.

Everyone hurriedly threw the inconvenient weapons into the hanging basket, and then quickly climbed the ladder to the city wall.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and many soldiers quickly descended the city wall from the other side and came to the urn city below.

In the back rows of rooms, there was already a strong smell of rice.

Suddenly, the hunger that had been fighting for a long time suddenly surged into my heart.

"Lord Wang, why don't you open the city gate, at this time, those people of the Tianyin Sect have no power to fight back, as long as I wait to kill them, I can kill them all immediately...... It's time now. Qiu Zhenmu looked at Li Xuan very eagerly.

"First of all, why don't you open the gates?" Li Xuan suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother Qiu, what do you think is the real reason why I can win today?" ”

"It's the prince's strategy and decisive decision-making...... Qiu Zhenmu said halfway, suddenly paused slightly, looked at Li Xuan, and said in astonishment: "Is it that gust of wind?" ”

"That's right, it's the gust of wind?" Li Xuan turned his head, looked in the southeast direction, and said softly, "Brother Qiu, haven't you noticed the difference in the sky?" ”

Qiu Zhenmu followed Li Xuan's gaze to the sky, and suddenly saw that in the gloomy sky, there were already black clouds rolling.

"It's going to rain......" Before Qiu Zhenmu's words fell, a drop of rain suddenly slammed into his face.

The rain slid down the nasal groove and fell between her lips, and Qiu Zhenmu licked it subconsciously.

It was at this moment that more raindrops fell rapidly from the air and smashed directly on the entire city gate.

It smashed between the whole heaven and the earth.

With a "bang", the three-way drum stopped.

Heavy rain is like a note.
