Li Xiaofeng raised his hand to stop the advance of the troops and looked out of the valley, however, to his surprise, Gehei did not arrange any hidden formations, bunkers or anything like that, but the 300,000 elite Western Regions army and the miscellaneous army of hundreds of thousands of sect allies were arrayed on the endless plain, quietly waiting for their arrival.

"Generalissimo, how can this approach become more and more incomprehensible in the end, it stands to reason that he should not take advantage of the terrain here to set up a super-large and super-complex large array, and then rely on the large array to hold the valley mouth, so as to deal with us!" The adjutant couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiaofeng nodded and said: "According to normal logical thinking, it should indeed be what you say, but don't forget, Gehei is not an ordinary general, and his actions are often unexpected." ”

"Could it be that he has some other plots!?" The adjutant general was shocked.

Li Xiaofeng didn't answer, but said lightly: "Master Situ, it's up to you next!" ”

Master Situ walked out slowly, still with that cold look, took out a compass-like thing and began to explore carefully, including the surrounding mountain walls, the exit of the valley, and the large area of plains outside, and after about an hour, he walked back slowly, shook his head slightly at Li Xiaofeng and walked straight back to the team.

Li Xiaofeng didn't care about this Master Situ's rudeness, and laughed: "Haha, Gehei knows that in front of Ben Shuai, any conspiracy is useless, this is a posture of wanting to fight to the death with Ben." ”

The adjutant general still couldn't figure it out when he heard this, but at this moment, Gehei's voice came: "Li Xiaofeng, are you so cowardly as a mouse, hmph, now this general only has such a million people, but my Western Regions warriors are not comparable to your imperial military captains, now that you have explored, this general has not arranged any big array, let's rely on our real strength to fight to the death!" ”

"Hmph, Gehei, Ben Shuai doesn't know where you got so much courage, although my Emperor Wuwei has suffered losses before, but now there are still 16.7 million people, as for your elite in the Western Regions, hehe, I'm afraid it's a lot worse than my Huang Wuwei, it's okay, Ben Shuai will let you know the gap between us now, destroy you, Ben Shuai should go and solve that Tianxuanling as soon as possible!" Li Xiaofeng did not hesitate after speaking, and with a wave of his long sword, he gave the order to attack with all his strength.

Like a speeding train, the Imperial Captain rushed towards the enemy army three miles away with a bang, full of momentum; At the same time, Geerhei also gave the order to charge, and a group of heavy cavalry held up their spears and whipped the demon horses under their crotches, increasing their speed to the maximum in an instant.

Boom, soon the two armies collided together, this is a pure hedge of power, just in an instant, countless soldiers on both sides were knocked into the air, the neighing of the war horse filled the entire battlefield in an instant, the stumps flew around, blood was splashed, and life was rapidly disappearing in tens of thousands at this time.

Whoosh, the strong men on both sides also flew into the sky one after another, and began to catch and fight, Li Xiaofeng didn't seem to have the intention of hiding his strength, and sent ten strong people in the realm of life and death at once, one of them was particularly powerful, and it should be the sixth one!

Gehei's side was also not to be outdone, although the number of powerhouses in the Life and Death Realm was one less, but there were two powerful beings among them, and they were the ones ranked seventh and eighth.

The battle of the strong is not something that can be divided into victory and defeat in a moment, but a large army on the ground is fighting, and the imperial military captain gradually stabilized his position after the initial disadvantage, and then gradually pulled the disadvantage back, until now he slowly gained the upper hand, after all, the combat effectiveness of the miscellaneous armies of those sect allies is really unsatisfactory, but Gehei is indifferent to this.

Li Xiaofeng couldn't help frowning when he saw this, as if he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, after all, according to the calculation, plus the troops who died in the Tianlei Pass before, Gehei really had no other troops to mobilize, he thought about it, and said lightly: "Master Situ, is it possible for them to arrange some big killing arrays that require a lot of blood to guide this underground, such as the Blood Demon Luo Heavenly Array and the like." ”

"This is impossible, you must know that these large arrays require a large amount of blood, although the blood of the people here is enough, but at least half of them must die, and if there is a large array to absorb blood, then the blood flow should be very regular, but you see, the blood on the battlefield is simply chaotic, and there is no sign of flowing, so there is no such terrifying killing array here, so don't worry about it." Master Situ's cold and old voice sounded, but no one else was seen.

Li Xiaofeng was not only not angry when he heard this, but the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc, and he muttered: "That's good, let's solve Gehei here today, so that there will be one less general who can fight in the Western Regions, which is also a good thing for my empire." ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at the battlefield and had a feeling of hesitation, now the number of imperial military captains has exceeded twice that of the enemy, and with the blessing of the battle array, the combat effectiveness of the opponent is several times that of the opponent, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the opponent will be completely wiped out in two hours.

However, at this moment, the roar of the catapult suddenly came from the back row of the opponent, and then the overwhelming, black rune stones smashed mercilessly towards the battlefield, and a huge mushroom cloud rose on the battle line dozens of miles wide in an instant, and the terrifying explosion made the battlefield a wail, and a large number of soldiers died instantly, regardless of friend or foe.

"Gehei, this bastard, what is he going to do, doesn't he even care about the life and death of his own soldiers, those trash of the sect allies don't know what they think, they don't even resist, they just know how to rush and kill!" Seeing such a large number of deaths of the Imperial Commander, the adjutant general was furious, and shouted frantically.

"Hmph, the soldiers of those sect allies should have eaten pills that can make people lose their minds such as the Ecstasy Pill, so now they are no longer human, but puppets, as for Gehei, hehe, he is just dying, although he is dying, although he is taking advantage of his life, but such a trick can only be used once, therefore, the loss of hundreds of thousands is still within our range." Li Xiaofeng said.

"Generalissimo, are we going to take revenge by raiding their rear rows with large catapults?" The lieutenant asked through gritted teeth.

"There's no chance, they've all rushed up, including Gelhei himself, they're going to be completely desperate, order the troops, press on all fronts, and try to eat them in the shortest possible time!" Li Xiaofeng shouted.

••••••

On the Jinluan Palace of Nanyue, General Shang wore a dragon robe, sat on the throne, and now he has usurped the throne and become the emperor of Nanyue, and used a series of means to completely bury the royal family that was already in danger, although the current country is still called Nanyue, but it is no longer the original Nanyue.

The squire of the military department came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, the latest news from the front line, the battle of Tianlei Pass, the Zong Alliance was defeated and retreated, the checkpoint was breached, the army of the Zong Alliance was almost killed and wounded, and the Imperial Captain only lost less than 200,000!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, and everyone was extremely surprised by the combat effectiveness of the imperial military captain, if their South Vietnamese army attacked, I am afraid that it would be good to die a million.

The Emperor of Nanyue was also shocked when he heard this, but on the surface, he still asked lightly: "Is the Zong Alliance completely defeated now?" ”

"Not yet, but I don't know what Gehei thinks, and he actually fought a final decisive battle with the Imperial Commander on the Great Plains behind the valley with very inferior troops, instead of relying on the terrain and setting up a large array to deal with the Imperial Captain as we expected before!" The soldier said.

Everyone was amazed again when they heard this, but the Nanyue Emperor was a sigh in his heart, he himself was born with a soldier, so he naturally knew what it meant, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this Gehei is already poor in donkey skills, but it shouldn't be, he is a famous general in the Western Regions, how can he be so vulnerable!" ”

At this time, he also lost interest in what the ministers said next, and when the court meeting was over, he immediately ordered the six ministers and nine secretaries to go to the imperial study to discuss matters.

"Everyone, what do you think of the Battle of Tianlei Pass?" The Emperor of Nanyue asked straight to the point.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but then they reacted, and the prime minister said: "Why is Your Majesty so concerned about this battle, Weichen thinks that they should have little to do with us regardless of victory or defeat." ”

"What the prime minister said is not true." The lieutenant said, "This battle is also very important to us, because it is related to the future direction of our country. ”

Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard this, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Taiwei seems to be making a bit of a fuss, how can other people's wars be related to the direction of our country, not to mention that with our current national strength, I'm afraid we don't even have the qualifications to participate!" ”

Taiwei glanced at the lord of the book, and said: "We are still nominally a vassal state of the Yeyue Empire now, then Li Xiaofeng must obey any order, if this Emperor Wuwei wins, then the alliance of the sect will definitely be exterminated, maybe the chickens and dogs will not be left, then when the time comes, will he Li Xiaofeng personally manage the large vacant rivers and mountains over there?" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up suddenly, there was no doubt that those lands would definitely be handed over to them to manage, and at this moment, the Taiwei said, "However, this is not necessarily a good thing for us. Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "First, we don't have the extra strength to control the territory of the Zong Alliance now, and second, we can't afford to resist the impact of opposition forces in its territory at all, but if Li Xiaofeng hands it over to us, we can only accept it, and then hand over more resources to the Yeyue Empire every year, and we may not be able to get any actual benefits from the Zong Alliance, at least not in the short term." ”

"However, if we get that piece of land, as long as it goes through more than ten or twenty years of development, I am afraid that the benefits for our country will definitely be huge, and ten or twenty years will only be a moment for our martial artists!" At this time, Dazai spoke.

Hubu Shangshu immediately said: "It's not that simple, don't forget, that land doesn't belong to us, for the taxes there, I am afraid that there are very few that can fall into our hands, and we still have to pay a lot of resources at the beginning, I am afraid that these ten or twenty years are enough to drag down our weak treasury." ”

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, everyone knew that if a country's treasury was empty, it would inevitably be difficult to move an inch, and after a while, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu tentatively said: "So, can we raise some taxes?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Hubu Shangshu said almost without hesitation: "You don't know our current situation, it's too late to appease the people, if the tax is increased, there will be a great possibility of provoking the people's uprising, and when the time comes, not only will we not be able to resume production, but we will also make the situation that we have managed to stabilize out of control again, and then the gains will outweigh the losses!" ”

The Emperor of Nanyue also nodded when he heard this, and said, "So what if Li Xiaofeng fails?" ”

The military department Shangshu said: "Li Xiaofeng will not fail, it is just a matter of casualties; But if he fails, it will be an even greater disaster for us! ”

"How?" The Nanyue Emperor asked.

The military department Shangshu said: "Li Xiaofeng will never admit his defeat, then the only thing he can do is to rectify the soldiers and horses and attack again, and in this way, he will need more death squads, then, we will be really forced to a dead end." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shudder, and the Ministry of Rites murmured: "This is trouble, no matter whether it wins or loses, it's not good news for us, hehe, we can't please it anyway, this Yeyue Empire, I don't know what the emperor of the previous dynasty thought, so I attached to it." ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and at this moment, the Nanyue Emperor stood up violently, and the cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Since we have no way to live anyway, then we can only carve out a way to survive by ourselves!" ”

••••••

On the Great Plains, the battle between the two armies is nearing the end, although Gehei used a lot of means of self-harm in exchange for a large number of killing and wounding enemy troops, but under the suppression of absolute strength, the armies of the Zong Alliance and the Western Regions have also suffered casualties, and at present, there are only more than 1,000 people still surrounding Gehei, forming a defensive formation, looking nervously at those imperial military captains who are eyeing them.

Suddenly, the army separated, Li Xiaofeng walked out of it, looked at Gehei, and said with a faint smile: "Gehei, what's the matter, in the face of absolute strength, any calculation is useless, now this marshal gives you a chance to surrender to the empire, you are also a real general, the general of the empire!" ”

"Hehe, Li Xiaofeng, you want to use the fame of this general to hit the morale of my Western Regions, that's wishful thinking, kill so many of your troops and strong men, I have long thought of today's consequences, and I have long been prepared, you don't want to waste your lips and tongues, hehe, by the way, you are not much better than me, Jiji." Geerhei let out a strange laugh when he finished speaking.

Li Xiaofeng frowned, instinctively felt that something was wrong, and muttered for a moment, but suddenly shouted: "The whole army retreats!" ”

When the army heard this, they didn't react for a while, but at this time, Li Xiaofeng and the others had already retreated dozens of zhang, and Gehei opened his big mouth full of blood and said with a strange smile: "Have you finally thought of it, but it's too late, it's too late, it's too late!" ”

Suddenly, a dazzling red light erupted from Gehei's body, flashing and flashing, and the frequency became faster and faster, followed by the same flashing red light on the more than a thousand people around him, as if echoing him, and then, the blood on the battlefield, whether it had dried up or just flowed out, all followed the riot, making the entire battlefield tremble.

"It's not good, it's the Blood Explosion Technique, this bastard, he has prepared the Blood Demon Luo Heavenly Array here, I'm afraid the entire Heavenly Thunder Pass will also be included, everyone, evacuate as soon as possible!" For the first time, Master Situ lost his cold and arrogant expression and yelled hysterically.

"What, Gehei, this bastard, actually lost all his lives, using the Blood Explosion Technique and the blood of millions of people to trigger the Blood Demon Heavenly Array, what a madman, a madman!" Li Xiaofeng's face was almost distorted.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the sky, and then, both of them fell down with blood spurting from their mouths, and Gehei laughed loudly with the last of his strength: "Haha, you can't run out, now there is the blood of two more powerhouses in the life and death realm, this great array that has been laid out for hundreds of years has been activated, everyone here will stay for me!" Haha~~~"

Bang bang, huge pillars of blood rose from the ground to the sky, completely enveloping this area, and anyone who was touched by the blood pillar would be reduced to ashes in an instant, and Gehei was the first to bear the brunt.

On the ground, those well-equipped imperial lieutenants were also as fragile as babies at the moment, and there were bursts of angry roars in the sky, and one by one the figures fell down from them, falling to the ground in embarrassment, and they had to dodge the pillars of blood that would emerge at any time.

"Li Xiaofeng, you idiot, you have put us all in such a dangerous situation!" A middle-aged man in a green robe yelled angrily after rolling around on the ground.

"Haha, Zou Yao, although you are a little higher ranked than me, but now you are going to die here with me, haha, it's really good." A shrill voice suddenly came, and then a thin old man pounced on him, and the two fought together.

Mohak also scolded while fighting with a similar opponent: "Geerhei, you bastard, you want to bury all of us here, you are simply crazy, don't you know, we are all elites of the Western Regions, if we all die, how much impact will it have on the three major powers, do you know!" ”

However, his roar was destined to go unanswered, and soon, the entire battlefield was wrapped in a pillar of blood, but from time to time, he could still see all kinds of brilliance flickering and exploding in it, and occasionally some figures would burst out of it, but the aura was already extremely sluggish.

The Bloody Heavenly Array lasted for about an hour, and when the blood dissipated, there was nothing inside, only the broken earth told people about the tragic scene that had been experienced here, and outside the Heavenly Thunder Pass, a group of embarrassed people sat on the ground without any image, gasping for breath, and from time to time they cast frightened glances at the pass.

"Generalissimo, we only have these tens of thousands of people left!" The lieutenant swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said bitterly.

Li Xiaofeng didn't say anything when he heard this, just muttered: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, everything has been calculated, but I didn't count the big array left by the previous Yu Guo here, and I didn't expect that Gehei would actually use millions of people as a medium to start this big array, hehe, hehehehe, a lifetime of fame, it's so ruined!" ”

"Generalissimo, what do we do next?" The adjutant asked.

"Hey, now, we can only go to Nanyue to repair for a while, and I don't know what the situation is on the Yanfeng Festival, I haven't heard from him in the past few days, is there something wrong!" Li Xiaofeng said.

Everyone was silent, but at this moment, a scout in the distance frantically whipped his war horse and rushed over, shouting: "Generalissimo, hurry up, the people from Tianxuanling are here, the distance is no more than fifty miles!" ”

"What!" Li Xiaofeng was shocked when he heard this, and instantly knew that the Yanfeng Festival was over, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered to retreat at full speed, and the imperial military captains also heard the news, and they all moved very fast, but in the time of a stick of incense, the team was reorganized, and they rushed towards Nanyue Country at the fastest speed, and even used the wind talisman.

More than an hour later, a group of more than ten people appeared outside the Tianlei Pass, this is Dongfang Yingqin and the others, Luo Zhengming looked at the direction of the emperor's departure, sighed and said: "Hey, we are still late, if we arrive early, maybe we can get something." ”

Dongfang Yingqin shook his head and said, "We didn't expect that Gehei would actually fight like this, it was simply the end of the plan a long time ago, this madman!" ”

Pi Yanchuan said: "So what should we do next, are we still chasing?" ”

Dongfang Yingqin shook his head and said: "No need, we can't catch up, even if we try our best to chase down, I'm afraid it will take several hours, at that time, they have all adjusted back, just with a dozen of us, I'm afraid it's not enough for tens of thousands of emperors and military captains to stuff their teeth, hehe, forget it." ”

Everyone nodded approvingly when they heard this, and let out a sigh...

A day later, Li Xiaofeng led the remaining imperial military captains back to the capital of Nanyue, and the Nanyue Emperor led all the officials to organize a grand welcoming ceremony at the gate of the city.

"Haha, Generalissimo, please take a seat, the widow has prepared the best banquet for the Generalissimo and the generals, please!" The Nanyue Emperor laughed and laughed.

Looking at this palace banquet, the high-ranking officials of the imperial military captains, who had been hungry for nearly half a month and had been hungry for more than a day, suddenly couldn't help but swallow their saliva, Li Xiaofeng's eyes showed a slight look of satisfaction, but they quickly disappeared, and just hummed lightly.

For his attitude, the Nanyue Emperor did not care, and the rest of the Nanyue ministers did not dare to say much, everyone entered the table, singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was quickly set off.

The Emperor of Nanyue picked up a glass of wine and said: "Generalissimo, the widow will toast you first, and may the empire be long and prosperous!" ”

Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but take a look at the new Nanyue Emperor when he heard this, and most people would say something flattering at this time to congratulate the generalissimo on his return from a great victory, or to flatter him to the fullest, but no matter how he said it now, it seemed to be pouring salt on Li Xiaofeng's wounds, but this Nanyue Emperor avoided this problem and directly said things with the empire, so this would not cause Li Xiaofeng's disgust in any case.

The two laughed and drank a cup, and everyone followed suit, Li Xiaofeng picked up a piece of meat in front of him and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked: "Emperor Nanyue, what kind of demon beast are you, the meat is so delicious!" ”

Emperor Nanyue said with a smile: "This is called the Fire Spirit Deer, which is a kind of demon beast unique to the Huanhua Wetland, but the number is extremely rare, and its size is also very petite. ”

When Li Xiaofeng heard this, he glanced at the table of the Nanyue Emperor, and then looked at the table of the rest of the people, and found that what he said was true, so he nodded with satisfaction, and then ate the remaining two pieces of meat, and at the same time was full of praise.

Immediately afterwards, after everyone ate and drank again, Li Xiaofeng sighed and said: "Hey, I didn't expect that Ben Shuai would fall for Gehei's trick this time, resulting in heavy losses for our army, I'm afraid that this time I will return to China and be severely punished by His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

The Emperor of Nanyue also immediately followed his topic and said: "Hey, who said no, Nagelhei is so insidious, it is really innocent, the generalissimo can rest for a period of time in the country, and then go back when His Majesty the Emperor is angry, then everything is easy to say, after all, you are still victorious." ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Now it can only be like this, not to mention, my troops don't have enough supplies to return to China now." After saying that, he stared at the Nanyue Emperor so directly.

"Hehe, since the imperial army is stationed in our country, then all military supplies should naturally be honored by the contempt country, and the generalissimo doesn't have to worry about this!" The Emperor of Nanyue said without hesitation.

Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with the attitude of the Nanyue Emperor, and took another bite of the dish and said: "I'm afraid that the land of the Zong Alliance has no strength to resist, you can send someone to receive it as soon as possible, well, you only need to pay the empire's taxes in the future." ”

When the Emperor of Nanyue heard this, he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Generalissimo!" ”

Li Xiaofeng waved his hand and said: "This time, our army has suffered heavy casualties and needs some supplements, you will recruit 200,000 troops for us in the country or in the Zong Alliance, and it will be completed within a month." Is there a problem? ”

Although these words were in a tone of discussion, but the tone was unquestionable, the Nanyue Emperor agreed without hesitation, which was somewhat unexpected by Li Xiaofeng, but he didn't care, and he was even more satisfied with this Nanyue Emperor.

Li Xiaofeng picked up a fiery red, fist-sized fruit on the table and put it into his mouth, chatting with the Nanyue Emperor while eating, and laughing from time to time, however, no one paid attention to it, this fruit was only available on Li Xiaofeng's table!

The meal made everyone quite satisfied, Li Xiaofeng patted the Nanyue Emperor on the shoulder a little drunkenly and said: "Hehe, you are very good, if you have any problems in the future, you can find me, there is this handsome, no one dares to do anything to you!" ”

The Emperor of Nanyue was overjoyed, and said a bunch of flattering words to send Li Xiaofeng and the others away, but his eyes were dancing with excitement; Ten days later, a piece of news came from the military camp of the Emperor Wuwei that was enough to cause an earthquake in the entire South Vietnam country - Li Xiaofeng suffered heavy losses to the army because of his mistakes, and he lamented all night, coupled with the serious injuries he had suffered before, which led to a collapse, and finally became ill and died!

However, no one who knew the inside story dared to say that he was poisoned to death!
