Chapter 301: The Impact of the Battle of Qingyan City
【King Zheng's capital?Jingyang Palace】
Jingyang Hall is Zheng Luan's dormitory, and it is also the place where he usually deals with government affairs, different from the palace in the general impression of ninja, Jingyang Hall is not magnificent, nor luxurious, it looks like a house for ordinary citizens, but it is larger. The palace stands quietly in the deepest part of the palace, in a royal garden full of thorn flowers all year round. If no one explained, absolutely no one would have thought that this inconspicuous little palace was the highest power center of the entire Zheng Kingdom.
On this day, the sky was overcast, dark clouds were hovering over the royal capital, and thunder was pouring in the air, and it looked as if it was about to rain. A palace envoy walked briskly through the imperial garden covered with thorn flowers, and walked towards Jingyang Palace, which was deep in the garden.
This palace envoy is different from ordinary envoys, but a military envoy of the Military Aircraft Department. The Military Aircraft Department was a secret special department established by Zheng Luan, independent of Zheng Guo's imperial court and under the direct command of Zheng Luan. According to rumors, although the members of this organization are very few, they are all top masters above the Xiaoyuan Realm, and they all swear allegiance to King Zheng to the death, and they are the most powerful and mysterious monk force in Zheng State, and nearly half of the divisional and regimental generals in the Wolf Head Army are from the Military Aircraft Department, including Zheng Yuan, who is defending the country.
The military envoy walked quickly, obviously there was something very important to tell, he walked quickly to the closed palace gate of Jingyang Palace, stretched out his hand to the palace gate and slapped it three times, after a few breaths, Zheng Luan's voice came from the palace gate.
"Enter. ”
Hearing King Zheng's voice, the military envoy carefully opened the palace door. Walked into the Jingyang Palace.
The Jingyang Hall was very dark, all the windows were closed, and there were a few candlesticks lit here and there on the main hall, exuding a faint yellow light. Zheng Luan sat in the depths of the main hall, where the light was the darkest, and he couldn't even see Zheng Luan's appearance clearly when he stood at the palace gate.
The military envoy entered the Jingyang Palace, only took two or three steps forward, and did not dare to go forward, and immediately knelt on one knee on the ground and said, "Great King." The minister has something important to say. ”
"What's the matter?" Zheng Luan's voice sounded a little lazy. It's like just waking up.
"General Zheng Yuan just sent an urgent report, Qingyan City has been lost, Zheng Xiu's 30,000 cavalry has been wiped out, and Zheng Xiu himself ...... Life and death unknown. The military envoy said.
"Huh?!" Zheng Luan's voice changed immediately. He could tell he was surprised. And then. He was silent for a few moments. He asked slowly. "Who took Qingyan City?"
Military aircraft envoy: "Tongming City, Xia family, Xia Yu." ”
"Xia Yu! this Xia Yu again?" Zheng Luan's tone was very strange. It seems that he has known Xia Yu for a long time. Then he was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly slowly rose from his throne. In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes suddenly shot on the body of the military envoy, and the military envoy immediately trembled, and his face showed a look of horror.
In the end, Zheng Luan said slowly: "Tell Zheng Yuan to stay still for the time being, and I will personally go to meet this summer rain." ”
........................
Soon after the battle of Qingyan Castle ended, the news of the victory spread all over the country.
This news was like a bombshell, which set off an uproar in the Central Plains, and the two countries of Wei Guo and Zheng Guo shook the whole country. Everyone knew that Wei Du had abandoned the north, and the strength of the whole country was not Zheng Guo's opponent, let alone a small Tongming city? It can be said that everyone thought that it was only a matter of time before the Wolf Head Army annexed the northern part of Wei Guo, and even Wei Du thought so. However, Xia Yu gave the whole world a resounding slap with practical actions, and no one expected that the small Tongming City not only stopped the invasion of the wolf-headed army, but also annihilated the 30,000 elite cavalry of the wolf-headed army.
The Battle of Qingyan Castle was not just a victory in a siege battle, it had a very far-reaching impact. First of all, the fundamental reversal of the shape of the two sides of the war took place. The wolf-headed army changed from an offensive to a defensive position, while the Xia Yu group turned a defensive position into an offensive position.
At the end of the Battle of Qingyan City, Zheng Yuan's army of 70,000 was gathering in the direction of Qingyan City, and had already come to the middle of Qingyan City and Wind Helmet City. However, after receiving the news of the loss of Qingyan City, Zheng Yuan immediately ordered to abandon the assembly to Qingyan City, and the whole army withdrew to Wind Helmet City, changing from attack to defense.
The wolf's head army has become weaker, but the Xia Yu group has become stronger. After recovering Qingyan City, Xia Yu's army swelled from 20,000 to 50,000 at once! and formed a cavalry force of 10,000 people, all of which were captured from the wolf's head army. Moreover, Xia Yujun has just won a big victory, and it is when the army's morale is excited and unstoppable, and its combat effectiveness has also increased sharply. From this point of view, Zheng Yuan's choice to withdraw to Wind Helmet City was a very wise decision.
In addition, after Xia Yu obtained Qingyan City, plus the original Tongming City and the Green Pine City that supported him, Xia Yu Group already owned three cities, and the entire north had won three-quarters. The rapid growth of the Xia Yu Group has forced other forces to start paying attention to it and paying attention to its every move. Weidu even began to panic about the Xia Yu Group, and some wise people had already seen that a new behemoth was beginning to rise.
After the battle, Xia Yu immediately became famous. As the planner and executor of this battle, his name also resounded all over the world along with the news of the victory, and became known to everyone, and some people in the north even compiled him into nursery rhymes, which were spread by children all over the streets and alleys.
Xia Jialang, a good son, led the people to kill Zheng Wolf.
Head to the sky, feet on the ground, subjugate demons and sacrifice to heaven and earth!
Although these two nursery rhymes are short, it can be seen that Xia Yu is very popular in the north, and the people have begun to sing praises of his exploits in this way.
However, fame is not always a good thing. While Xia Yu is famous, he is also targeted by countless eyes all over the world, and people from all walks of life begin to investigate Xia Yu, and Xia Yu has become the focus of major forces. Among them, it naturally includes the two super empires of the Snow Empire and the Sea Empire.
However, although the outside world talked about Xia Yu in an uproar, Xia Yu himself did not have the feeling of becoming a celebrity, taking Qingyan City was not the end of the war, but the beginning of the war, and Xia Yu still had a lot of work waiting for him to do.
Xia Yu first made a big adjustment within his group, he transferred Li Chunfeng and Li Yu to Qingyan City, and let them both be in charge of the defense and government affairs of Qingyan City; appointed Bai Pengfei as the general, and all the existing armies were under Bai Pengfei's command, including infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, and three-dimensional mobile troops; Lu Yue was still in charge of the secret troops; Xia Xue and Wang Jin stayed in Tongming City, and Xia Xue was in charge of the affairs of Tongming City. Tongming City is the base camp of Xia Yu Group, and it is the foundation of Yiqiē, and only when it is handed over to Xia Xue, Xia Yu can be the most assured.
In addition, Xia Yu also gave Xia Xue a very special right, in Xia Yu's absence, Xia Xue had the right to make decisions on the important military and political affairs of Tongming City and Qingyan City. No one objected to this decision, because Xia Xue really deserved it. In the days when Xia Yu was away, she was the one who had been leading Tongming City, and if Xia Yu was not there, Xia Xue would be the most suitable leader.
The reason why Xia Yu made this decision was to leave a way back for the Xia Yu group, the situation in the north is volatile, and if he is not there one day, he needs to ensure that the group can still operate normally. After all, the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in the North is at stake.
After making this arrangement, Xia Yu suddenly became idle, and all military and government affairs were handed over, and Xia Yu suddenly became the most relaxed leader. After being free, Xia Yu devoted himself to cultivation. Because he knew very well in his heart that sometimes, a strong monk could make or break the outcome of a war.
King Zheng is the Great Yuan Realm, and he is the Little Yuan Realm, although King Zheng has not shown up until now, but every time he thinks of King Zheng and the gap between himself and him, Xia Yu feels that a boulder is pressing on his chest, pressing him out of breath. If King Zheng wanted to kill himself, Xia Yu could run even if he couldn't beat him, but what if King Zheng wanted to kill Wan'er and Xia Xue? What should be done at that time? With the power of Xiao Yuan Realm, Xia Yu didn't dare to guarantee that he could protect everyone. Therefore, Xia Yu desperately wants to become stronger.
However, how easy is it to go from the small Yuan realm to the Great Yuan realm? The Great Yuan Realm is the only one in the group of monks, so how can they go up if they want to? Xia Yu has taken the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls twice, and has impacted the Great Yuan Realm no less than ten times, but he has never been able to break through this last pass. After a few days, Xia Yu was a little tired, he felt that he had encountered a bottleneck, he had entered the twenty-ninth layer of the Xiao Yuan Realm for a long time, but he didn't feel the existence of the Great Yuan Realm at all. It can even be said that he hasn't even touched the threshold of the Great Yuan Realm now.
No matter how hard he cultivated, he couldn't feel the slightest sign of a breakthrough, which made Xia Yu's mood gradually start to become irritable, and after cultivating for less than an hour this day, Xia Yu couldn't calm down and cultivate anymore. In desperation, Xia Yu had no choice but to decide to go out for a casual stroll, and maybe she could find some inspiration for her thoughts.
Xia Yu is now a celebrity in Qingyan City, he doesn't like others to pay too much attention to him, and he walks on the street and is stared at by others as if he is a rare species, which is not very pleasant. So, Xia Yu simply disguised himself and put a hat covered in black gauze on his head before he dared to walk out of the commander's mansion.
After a period of rest, although Qingyan City cannot be said to have completely regained its former vigor, it is also much better than the period of the Wolf Head Army's rule, there are obviously more pedestrians on the streets, and many shops on both sides of the road have reopened, and Yiqiē looks so prosperous. Watching the days of Qingyan City getting better day by day, Xia Yu's mood couldn't help but improve a lot. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a very discordant voice. (To be continued......)
