In the fourth year of Yongle, on June 15, at night, only a month and a half had passed since the Changning Uprising.

The army of the Wind and Thunder Battalion arrived outside the city of Wudu.

The attack on Wudu City was just Cheng Ying's temptation and provocation of imperial power.

If he can really defeat Wudu City, he can only say that Cheng Ying picked up shit luck.

He also didn't have much confidence in taking Wudu City.

His real strategic goal was to find a suitable base for himself.

Standing in a big city and dividing one side, the court has no choice but to recognize his existence through Zhao'an or other means of peaceful settlement.

He has so many brothers, and many of them are dragged with their families.

As a leader, it is impossible for him to live in the mountains and wilderness with more than 100,000 people all the time.

Along the way, he had already picked a place where he could entrench.

Xiangzhou.

Xiangzhou is located in the southwest of the Central Plains, bordering Huazhou.

As long as Xiangzhou can be taken, it will be more convenient for the Fenglei Battalion to move his family.

But there is also a problem, that is, Xiangzhou is within the radiation range of Wudu City.

If Cheng Ying can't stabilize his position in Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou is very likely to be captured by the imperial army.

But it's not a big problem, it's a big deal to go back to the mountains of Huazhou.

In terms of the current situation in the world, even if Cheng Ying defeated Xiangzhou, all the soldiers and horses did not have time to take care of him.

Therefore, Cheng Ying can rest assured that he can boldly occupy Xiangzhou, and the enemy is only the imperial army.

Palace, Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Bai You received a military report half a day ago, saying that a large army from Huazhou was coming straight to Wudu City.

At first, Bai You guessed that this was Prince Shen's army in Huazhou, but Bai You thought about it, Prince Shen's army had entered the southwest and Shu, and some of them were hoarded on the border of Tongzhou.

Judging from Prince Shen's strategic intentions, he wanted to eat the southwest of Dayan and Shu, and he would not come to attack Wudu City at this time.

Although the current situation in the world is not optimistic, Wudu City is really not so easy to fight.

At present, Prince Shen is one of those who have the ability to attack Wudu City, but he has no strategic intentions.

There is also Su Xuan in the north and the Changning army in the south.

Su Xuan is in the north and is currently facing off against Jizhou.

And this army is coming from the direction of Huazhou, is it the Changning army?

Although the Changning army is attacking Yangzhou, they have a large number of soldiers and a wide range of generals, and they do have the ability to divide troops into Wudu City.

It's just a mere 40,000 troops, so take Wudu City? That's simply not possible.

Unless there is a meteorite falling from the sky and smashing through the Wudu City.

Even if the Beiying Army has left now and the Wudu City is empty, the 100,000 Praetorian Guards are not a joke.

What's more, there are hundreds of bed crossbows in Wudu City, and there are even more divine arm crossbows.

Under this kind of defensive force, Wudu City would never be captured by 40,000 troops.

"Sake-sama."

I saw a young man walk in and bow to Bai You.

"It's you."

Bai You glanced at Liu Rus.

This person and Wen Shizhong are all the way, and Wen Shizhong can have today, because Liu Ru taught him well.

"Lord Samurai's face is displeased, and it seems that he doesn't want to see me?" Liu Ru smiled.

"You are a rebellious minister and thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people, why should I treat you?" Bai You said coldly.

In fact, Liu Ru and Wen Shizhong had calculated Bai You before.

Bai You is a loyal Su Xuan faction, and he is particularly supportive of Su Xuan's set.

They originally wanted to take Bai Yu out.

But this woman who reads a lot doesn't make sense at all.

Do you want to send someone to arrest her? She'll call you straight back.

A top-level powerhouse in the second-grade realm, if he launches a madness, there is only one person in the current Wudu City who can stop it.

That person is the reclusive Jinxuan.

And Jin Xuan has always had a good relationship with Bai You, and he is also a loyal supporter of Su Xuan.

So Liu Ru has always been unable to take this unreasonable woman.

"The army outside the city is here, not the Huazhou army, nor the Changning army." Liu said.

"Who's that?" Bai You asked.

"Camp Stormthunder." Liu replied.

"Wind Thunder Camp? I haven't heard of it." Bai You said.

"It was originally a group of bandits within the boundaries of Huazhou, but now the scale has more than 100,000." Liu said.

"It's just an army of 40,000, and I can't let them get close to Wudu City." Bai You said.

"Lord Sacrificial, the North needs you now." Liu said.

Bai You raised his gaze, looked at Liu Rusi, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I just think that the emperor will use you if he wants to use you, and if he doesn't want to use you, he will throw you aside, he really treats you as a plaything, your talent has nowhere to show, are you willing?" Liu asked.

Bai You's brows furrowed.

She has indeed lived a very aggrieved life in the past two years.

Her ambition had just been realized, but she was slapped by Xiao Jinghan's big hand and held it down.

Now that Xiao Jinghan needs her, and asks her to come out again, she really doesn't have a taste in her heart.

With her lonely and arrogant character, she really shouldn't be handled like this.

"Today's imperial power can't even control the situation in the Central Plains. The white sacrificial wine is a genius who makes a living for the people of the world, and the edifice is about to fall, and the white sacrificial wine should choose another master." Liu said.

"I see, you want to persuade me to give up Wudu City and let the Wind Thunder Camp enter the city." Bai Yu said in a deep voice.

"White sacrificial wine, the reshuffling of the world is already a sure thing. There is no army in the north, and Su Xuan is about to unify the north. There was the Changning Army in the south, and now the Changning Army has formed an alliance with Jiangling Han Yu and Yuezhou Ke Suffering, and the unification of the south is just around the corner.

Then there is King Shen Xiao Hu, who is entrenched in the southwest of Dayan, divides one side and becomes the overlord of one side. The imperial court can no longer control these behemoths. Strong on the outside and strong in the middle, this Wudu City will change hands sooner or later.

The city of Wudu will change hands as soon as possible, and the people of the world will be able to achieve peace as soon as possible. Shouldn't the white sacrificial wine choose another Lord to display the ambitions in his heart?"

Liu said.

Liu Ru wanted to persuade Bai You to abandon the city of Wudu and let Cheng Ying enter the city.

Now that Xiao Jinghan is not in the palace, if Wudu City falls, then Xiao Jinghan will not have this qualification even if he wants to become a Six Kings regime.

All civil and military officials are in the city.

Once Wudu City is lost, the Xiao family's imperial power will come to an end.

"In the eyes of Bai Saijiu, I, Liu Ru, am just a villain, and what I just said is also a villain's slander. But the white sacrificial wine can't be denied, what I say is reasonable, right?" Liu said again.

"What you say does have a point, and I don't deny it." Bai You nodded.

Liu Ruye's slander is indeed the last word now.

The world was in turmoil, resulting in the loss of imperial power.

Several behemoths in the north and south are no longer under the control of Wudu City.

The Great Yan Dynasty has long since fallen apart, and all imperial power can only pass within the boundaries of the Central Plains.

However, Liu Ru has the truth that Liu is so, and Bai You has the truth of Bai You.

At this time, if Bai You opened the gate of Wudu City and let the wind and thunder camp enter the city, she would leave a reputation in history.

Even if Bai You's previous rights were deprived, even if she really didn't want to stay in Wudu City anymore, now was not the time for her to give up Wudu City.

She really wanted to leave, and after Xiao Jinghan returned to the palace, she wrote a resignation letter by herself and handed it to Xiao Jinghan.

"But you want me to be a traitor like you? Even if I promise, the sages I read, they won't say yes." Bai You said.

Liu Ru knew that it was difficult for a woman like Bai You to move.

As long as her sense of conviction is stronger than yours, you can't sway her thoughts with realistic conditions.

"White sacrificial wine, why bother? The world is already a poor livelihood. At this moment, if the Great Yan falls and the country changes hands, the people of the world will have a hope." Liu said.

"How can a person with no conscience like you kidnap others so openly and morally? Why is the world in chaos? Didn't you do it all by yourself? You have the blood of countless people on your hands, and you come to persuade others to become like you?" Bai You said coldly.

It is impossible for Bai You to give up Wudu City, Xiao Jinghan handed over Wudu City to her supervision, she must wait for Xiao Jinghan to return Wudu City to Xiao Jinghan as it is.

As a courtier, one should not be a perfidy.

Although Xiao Jinghan no longer reuses her, the monarch is still the monarch.

If she gives up Wudu City today, it will be tantamount to betraying the whole world.

Treachery to the world today, what will we talk about tomorrow for the livelihood of the world?

"This world should be at peace as soon as possible, I did something wrong, and it has nothing to do with you. But if you do that, you can indeed hasten the unification of the world, right?" Liu continued to persuade.

"When I do this, I'm like you. You can betray your master, you can betray the monarch, you can betray the world. I can't." Bai You said.

"However, if the city of Wudu is not broken, the people of the world will only continue to suffer!" Liu Ru said in a deep voice.

"Expropriation and extortion, and intensified oppression of the common people. People like you will also think about the common people in the world? Can't you?" Bai You sneered.

"The sake priest's lesson is reasonable, but why are you obsessed?" Liu Ru said helplessly.

"Whether it's my obsession or your wolf ambition, this may be up for debate." Bai You said.

"It's ...... come to this"

"The matter has come to this point, and there is no room for recovery. I've told you enough today, and if you don't leave, I'm going to ask you to go." Bai You interrupted Liu's words and issued an eviction order.

Liu sighed and turned to leave.
