Chapter Twenty-Four: The Return of the Wanderer (20)
The second is the Lianghui Legion of Huidong and Huixi, which is extremely powerful in combat under the leadership of Chen Zaiji. If Li Zhuyin has three opponents in the Celestial Empire, then these three are Queen Ling, Wu Gang and Chen Zaiji, there is no doubt that the Lianghui Army is the strongest, if Li Zhuyin chooses Chen Zaiji first with the method of first difficult and then easy, it is not without reason, because after eating Chen Zaiji, it will be relatively easy to attack the other two.
The last one is Xijing Baodu, the lord doesn't need to say much, no matter what, Li Zhiyin will launch a general attack on Xijing, which is his ultimate goal.
Based on these three reasons, the trio discussed:
It is meaningless to take the two states of Magua and Traptan, in case Li Zhiyin sings an empty city plan first, and waits until the troops of Xiezhou are dispersed to the two states of Magua and Traptan, and then they will break each other, then they will not be able to take care of each other, and they will inevitably be defeated. It is still the best choice to concentrate the troops closer to Xijing, take Xijing as the center, gather the troops together, and respond to all changes without change.
So he summoned all the commanders to the general army's mansion.
Empress Ling said: "Now that we are going to Xijing, is the military capital sufficient?"
The head of the logistics army said: "The original inventory plus the proceeds from this seizure, there is no shortage of weapons and horses, but the long weapons are still insufficient, and they are thinking about manufacturing." ”
Queen Ling asked how to do it, and the zhangtou was silent, obviously unable to think of a good way.
Ben Hu said: "There are more than 20,000 pieces of weapons, spears and knives that were originally made by demons in the Fangren tribe, but the ancestors were angry and all of them were burned. I just don't know if enough is enough?"
There was a gleam of joy in the eyes of the man. Can't help but be overjoyed. It's a bit of a dance, and he said continuously: "Enough is enough, this is really good, you can come whatever you want, thank you to the brothers of the Fangren tribe, this is really a send-off." ”
After three days, a qiē was ready, and the army was assembled. The head of the head in front shouted, "Keep in formation, go!"
The sergeants went out of the city of Xizhou like flowing water, standing at the head of the city and looking at it, the army like a flood went straight to the long pavilion, and met the 30,000 horses and horses of the fangs who came from the dark sun ditch in the long pavilion, and the two torrents merged into one place, turning into a larger flood peak, taking the road to Liping, and going straight to Yizhou.
The queen was dressed in military uniform and rode a horse in the middle of the army. There was a cheer from the surrounding sergeants, under the heavy haze. The queen came to join the company in person, and they were all in good spirits.
The cold wind of midwinter blew, and the leaves of the withered yellow trees flew away, and one piece brushed the corners of Ling Qiuhong's eyebrows, and suddenly floated high in the direction of the west.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and she watched as the leaf swirled high and low in the air, gradually flying high and far.
She looked at the far west, the air was faintly filled with the smell of killing, she didn't know whether this march was right or wrong, and she really had no bottom in her heart.
She is the queen, but at the same time she is also a woman, although the heavens will be on her shoulders to win the weak, but she does not feel hopeless, the position of her husband and son in her heart is irreplaceable, it is natural to protect her family, the meaning of war is just that, she thought, the soldiers think the same, otherwise, how can you run thousands of miles and resist the enemy thousands of miles away?
"The soldiers must have felt the killing aura in the western sky, and smelled the smell of desolation and death in the air, otherwise why would the army be so quiet, and not even the horses neighed. The empress's mind was sensitive and she sensed this qiē.
She asked Ben Hu, "Are there any of our people on the Haihe River?"
Ben Hu said: "No, if there is, unless it is the Raozhou Navy of Zhongzhou Kingdom, the Raozhou Navy can only defend on the west bank, and it is impossible to come to the east bank, could it be that Li Zhiyin sent his water army to take the initiative to attack the west bank?"
"This is impossible, Li Zhiyin doesn't have that much strength to attack everywhere, and his attention is still the Celestial Empire. The queen shook her head in denial.
"But the navy of Tianyang Kingdom is in Smile Harbor, and its strength is very small, so it should not attack Li Zhiyin. Ben Hu continued to speculate.
"Yes, it stands to reason that there will be no war on the Haihe River, but there is indeed a murderous aura in the direction of the Haihe River, but I don't know why?" the queen was puzzled.
As he spoke, the sergeant in front of him was in an uproar, raising his weapons high, especially the long ones, like a forest of steel.
The queen was about to ask Yan Dangtian to ask what was going on, the army stopped advancing, everyone was beaming with joy, and some of the sergeants bowed to the queen, and suddenly lifted the queen and threw it into the sky, and when it fell, he caught it and threw it.
These people suddenly turned from gloomy to elated, and they don't know where the joy comes from.
After throwing more than a dozen times, he put the queen on the ground, and there was a ruler to report: "I am glad to hear that the prince led the combined fleet to level Haihe Xia Island, and the prince is back, and the whole country celebrates and greets the queen!"
When Ling Qiu Hongfu heard the news, he was stunned in place, and for half a minute he had an expression of disbelief, and then he hid his face and cried, and then showed the happiest smile in a long time.
This killing breath is indeed due to the Haihe River, and the news is even more true, the shocking waves with the breath of killing start from Xia Island,
Located in the south of Inyue Island, Xia Island is a picturesque peninsula with the most beautiful rocks and the most beautiful clear water, which was later changed to a prison for Li Zhuyin's opponents.
When Wugang and them first landed on the coast of the Celestial Empire, King Dong of Zhou had already commanded his combined fleet to sweep the west coast, and Li Zhiyin's giant fleet was on an equal footing on the Haihe River.
The two sides repeatedly tentatively retreated at the touch of a button, and neither dared to attack first. In these few contacts, the news that Zhou You did not die had already spread, first in Yinyue Island, and then in the hinterland of the Celestial Empire.
The "Summer Island Conference" of the "Water Beard Clan" is about to begin, and the Water Beard Giants will reunite on the waterside of that beautiful island after a hundred years, and enjoy the peace and relaxation of the place while holding the meeting.
On this day, Lu Xiao took the fishman and made a detour to the west coast, avoiding Yinyue Island and heading to Xia Island. On the way, he met the fish-man plaice, and the plaice told the king and the prince of the east of the news of the passage of the river, and Zhou You and the king of the east of Zhou came to greet him, and discussed with him that he would attack Moon Island on the second day of the "Summer Island Conference". In order to eliminate the demon soldiers on the island and destroy Li Zhuyin's base camp. The loss of the merfolk is a lesson, and the ordinary people on the shore are as innocent as the fishmen.
Lu Xiao and Zhou You were already old friends, and to this day he no longer doubted Zhou You's identity, and promised to convey the request of the crown prince and the East King to the Xia Island Conference, and thank them for their kindness.
The plaice also went away. (To be continued......)
