The war in the east was unexpected, and the news that came came boosted the confidence of everyone in Xijing Baodu.

But for the people of Xiezhou, it is very painful, many people have lost relatives and friends, and are in grief.

Especially for Empress Ling, this battle only kicked off the prelude to the war with Li Zhuyin, Changya disappeared, Ben Zhong's father was killed in battle, and Ben Baolin was hidden, which can be described as a heavy loss. However, the enemy army only lost some ordinary sergeants, but the right-hand man was well preserved.

In contrast, although the victory is like defeat.

On this day, Meizhou reported that the state army of Magua Prefecture in the southeast abandoned the state city last night, and its whereabouts were unknown, as if it had evaporated from the world.

The messenger of the letter said: "Lord Liu could not come to participate in the battle of Xizhou in person, and he was uneasy, and said to us: 'The queen's sassy and heroic posture and refusal to let her eyebrows be shaved greatly encouraged the morale of Meizhou. ’

The generals unanimously agreed to take the state of Margua in response to the queen's call.

Yesterday we launched a general attack on Magua Prefecture, a large city, that is, should not fight, we felt strange, so the main attack on the city gate, did not expect that there was no one to defend, the army drove straight in, it turned out that there were less than a thousand soldiers, the thousand soldiers saw us attacking, all fled from the south gate on horseback, Lord Liu felt strange, but did not know the point, so that his subordinates came to report. ”

Empress Ling asked, "Didn't you catch one and ask?"

The messenger said: "Yes, yes, I caught one, and the man didn't say anything about the killing, and the more he beat him, the more he said that it was enjoyable and comfortable, and he was beaten until he ran out of gas, and finally said: 'It's so cool.'" Then he died, and he was a man of the deepest evil. ”

It's really strange that there should be such a sergeant. It can't be measured by common sense. The messenger's hairs stood on end as he spoke. Fear on the face. It's as if I've seen something weird.

"None of the people in the city know?" made the queen feel a little creepy.

"Yes, the people all over the city said that they slept very soundly that night, and they didn't hear any movement, which is even more strange, the queen's mother, Lord Liu felt that this matter might not be so simple, and he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he came to ask the queen for instructions. Let the queen decide. ”

The messenger recovered a little, and then he began to talk again, and he was born with a mouth that spoke sharply, and after recovering his words, he spoke clearly.

"The thousand men have fled, and you have not pursued the fleeing enemy, and fled to the south of the city, is there any state city in the south?" asked the queen.

"Back to the queen mother, we were afraid of the enemy's tricks, so we sent a few good men to follow them, and reported that the thousand men had scattered after leaving the city, and each went his own way. It didn't go to the state town to the south, so it can't be tracked. ”

The messenger said. "There is only one state in the south, called Traptan Prefecture, which is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and it is also Li Zhiyin's sphere of influence. Our people infiltrated the trap state, where the situation was the same as that of Magua state, and the soldiers defending the city were also missing, alive, and dead. ”

The queen ordered him to go down and rest, and the messenger said, "Niangniang, don't we take these two cities with our own hands? ”

The queen waved her hand and did not answer, and the messenger went down and waited for news.

The queen was already worried, but as soon as she heard the news, she became even more uneasy, pacing around the general army's mansion, Yan Dangtian stood on her side, not daring to move, but she did not dare to relax her vigilance for a moment.

He was very familiar with the queen's temperament, and whenever she was anxious, he could not be disturbed.

It's been a long time.

"Guard Yan, I suddenly fell back like an arrow, what do you say?" the queen stopped and said to Yan Dangtian.

"Since Niangniang is homesick, His Majesty escorted Niangniang back to Xijing Baodu. "Yan Dang Tiandao still stands respectfully.

The queen sighed, she just said what was on her mind, in front of the loyal Yan Dangtian, she could say whatever she wanted, and she didn't have to worry that he would betray herself, but this Yan Dangtian was just a martial artist, and he didn't know anything about fighting and scheming, and in his heart, there was nothing bigger than the queen's safety.

"Lord Benhu has arrived!"

The sergeant's announcement from outside came in.

Queen Ling showed a gesture to Yan Dangtian, and Yan Dangtian said: "Please 'Fangren King'!"

The tower-like Benhu walked in, wearing filial piety. He saluted Queen Ling and said, "Forgive Benhu for his filial piety, and he dare not fulfill his full courtesy." ”

Although he is only the head of a family, his status cannot be compared with the mother of a country, but during the period of filial piety, he cannot pay full salutes to others, and the queen is no exception.

The queen said: "I'm ashamed, the middle father is gone, you have to mourn by the way." During the military emergency, I couldn't go to mourn in person, and I was helpless. ”

"Queen Xie, the queen's heart has arrived, so why do you have to stick to the form. Ben Hu said.

It turned out that the queen had already sent someone to offer condolences.

"I think that the middle father finally came to his senses and lived and died with us, and he is my friend, and I will definitely go to his grave to greet him once in my lifetime. The queen said sadly, and then her tone changed, and she said, "Lord Ben, I received a letter that the two states of Magua and Trap have become empty cities, what do you think?"

"These two states are Li Zhuyin's territory, that trapping the pond Taishou Li Qi is Li Zhuyin's cousin, when I was in the Dongxiang Holy Pavilion, once followed Li Rui to pursue the remnants of the king of Zhou Dong there, I heard him talk about the way of the Taiwei to govern the army, and the general army of Magua was also there at that time. ”

Ben Hu paused and continued:

"What is your Dao Li Zhiyin's way of governing the army? It turns out that he has learned a set of tactics from his cultivation, the cultivators are dueling, and he pays attention to the 'loose paper knife', which means that the true power is scattered, and one piece is knocked down, and the fallen piece is just a beginner or an ordinary person, for a powerful opponent, it is necessary to condense the true power into a line to strike at the vital point. ”

The queen was surprised: "Critical?"

"Yes. Ben Hu said.

"But where is the point, where is our point?" the queen could not grasp.

Ben Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

For a while, the hall fell silent, and the three of them were guessing where Li Zhuyin was going to start, constantly analyzing, and finally came to a result:

If Li Zhiyin wields his rebel army, there are three points that can be attacked in the Celestial Empire,

The first one is Crab State, because Li's corrupted Tri-State Coalition Army was not only defeated here, but also did not bring back a single soldier, which can be described as a heavy loss, and more importantly, he didn't expect Ben Hu to betray him, which is the main reason why he was in Crab State.

Li Zhuyin is a treacherous tyrant who must be revenged, he must hate Benhu and the Fangren tribe to the core, and Queen Ling is also in Crab State, this is a big cake, what reason is there for Li Zhuyin not to make the queen of this piece of fat flock to it? (To be continued......)
