When everyone in the tent heard Bai Mengyang's words, they were all stunned, and then they reflected it, and they were all excited about the good news.

"Great, he really deserves to be the king of Changsha."

In the camp tent, Yan Wangqiu listened to Bai Mengyang's news, and after digesting it, he immediately smiled and said: "The king of Changsha has already achieved great martial arts when he returned to Lianyun in the previous battle. Now in Fangling Mansion City, such military prestige is indeed a famous general in the world.

This time, there is it, conquering Xiangyang City, or not far away. ”

For his ally, Yan Wangqiu naturally praised him without hesitation.

Listening to his compliment, everyone in the tent, although they also showed smiles on their faces, their eyes flashed with different colors.

Since a few days ago, with Lu Yuan in front of the army, the news of the innate battle came.

Regarding the attitude of this king of Changsha, many people on the side of the coalition army have a strange attitude.

Among them, there are those who are happy, there are those who are afraid, and there are those who are worried......

But no matter what kind of attitude it is, there is one thing that is invariable, that is, everyone's attention to Lu Yuan has risen to a higher level.

If everyone's previous opinion of Lu Yuan was just an ordinary newcomer, at most he could fight, and he had some strong soldiers under him, so there was not much surprising about it.

Then at this time, Lu Yuan, in the eyes of everyone, has become a terrifying grandmaster with strong strength, outstanding combat power, and good fighting.

Well, based on the above views, do you feel familiar?

Yes, at this time, in the eyes of everyone, Lu Yuan has become the second in Wu'anhou.

The reason why it is the second is only because Lu Yuan is still young, and his strength is not comparable to Bai Mengyang, and at the same time, he killed a congenital, which is not comparable to Bai Mengyang's achievements over the years.

But judging from the strength and potential he is showing now, I am afraid that in thirty years, he will be able to reach Bai Mengyang's achievements today.

Such a powerful and potential seed is also the king of a country, and he has also trained a strong army under his command.

Just ask, who can not be afraid of such characters?

Who can not be afraid?

Anyway, the people in the imperial court camp were deeply worried about Lu Yuan's sudden display of strong combat power.

Even Lu Yuan's camp, such as Su Xuange, began to worry about his ally who had performed well.

Just as Lu Yuan never thought in his heart how long the Triple Alliance could last.

In the heart of this Ninghai Lord, he didn't think that the Triple Alliance would last long.

At this time, the external pressure is strong, and the three countries can still huddle together for the time being.

But if the external pressure was relieved, at this time, the invasion of the Zhou State was repulsed, and then the Yue State ceased its troops.

Then without the strong external oppression, the crisis of the three countries has been greatly reduced, and it is a question whether this close alliance can continue to be maintained.

What the other two allies think, Su Xuange didn't know.

But in his heart, he has the ambition to wait for Yan Wangqiu's death, take the opportunity to annex the South China Sea, and then unify Lingnan.

Su Xuange is only over eighty years old, even if he survives for a few more years, after Yan Wangqiu's death, he will only be in his early nineties at most.

At this age, for an innate grandmaster, it can be said that he is in the prime of life.

Thinking that there are still more than 60 years to live in the future, for such a long time, if you don't do something to make a career, you will be the founder of the country in vain.

Su Xuange's ambition is not limited to a Ninghai country.

Now the Yue room is declining, the world is in turmoil, the people are displaced, and the recklessness rises.

These are the times when heroes use force.

Su Xuange asked himself, he is also a little accomplished, not only a congenital grandmaster, but also the founder of the country, how can he be regarded as a hero?

Since he is a hero, how can he be confined to the small land of Ninghai.

The land of Lingnan, and even the entire country of Jiangnan, that is where you really show your strength.

It is precisely because of the above ambitions that Su Xuange has doubts about this Northern Expedition.

I am even more worried about Lu Yuan's sudden rise and extraordinary performance this time.

Treating others with himself, Su Xuange believes that since he has such conditions, he has the ambition to annex Lingnan.

Then Lu Yuan is younger than him, has more achievements than him, and is stronger than him.

Such a heroic boy-like figure. Could it be that he would be so willing, just want to be trapped in Changsha, guarding a place that is worse than Ninghai Kingdom, and just be lonely for the rest of his life?

If you are any normal person, you are afraid that you don't want to, right?

Therefore, this time Lu Yuan made a surprise attack, and he put forward the demand that all the territories attacked all the way belong to him.

This proposal already exposes the ambition of the other party.

This is not a person who is content with his duty and can keep his loneliness.

At this time, Lu Yuan asked for the land of Xiangyang County of Zhou, so if there is a chance one day, how do you know that the other party will not plot the land of Lingnan?

And if at that time, with the strength of the other side and the strength of the other party, what should be done to stop the current situation of the two countries in Lingnan?

It seems that I should have prepared for the future. ’

Su Xuange thought like this in his heart, he had indeed made up his mind, and after he went back, he would immediately prepare and train a male soldier worthy of a war in the country.

It is best to reach 100,000 people, so that they can compete with Changsha. At the same time, it is also to accumulate strength for the common South China Sea country in the future.

But it's not a small cost to raise troops. Based on Lu Yuan's expenses for raising soldiers, raising 100,000 soldiers and horses will cost 6 million taels of silver a year just for military salaries.

Counting some other miscellaneous items of grain, grass, baggage, ordnance and utensils, the cost is probably more than 8 million. Thinking of this, Su Xuange couldn't help but have a headache.

With the national strength of Ninghai State, it is not impossible to raise these money and grain.

But now, he has to allocate two million taels of silver to Lu Yuan every year for military expenses and one million stone of grain as protection money.

At the same time, the bureaucrats at all levels in the country also get three or four million taels of silver a year, as well as local administrative expenses, and the salaries of local government and county soldiers.

Together, Ning Haiguo's annual expenses are almost six million taels of silver, which is almost half of his total annual income.

Even if there is still some surplus left, it is only more than a million taels of silver, and raising one or two thousand soldiers is the limit, where can I get the salary of 100,000 troops?

'Hateful, if my fiefdom is Nanhai County, why worry about this? An army of 100,000 can be raised at any time. ’

Su Xuange glanced at Yan Wangqiu with a vague gaze, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

The South China Sea is rich, both in terms of fiscal revenue and local household registration, which is almost twice that of Ninghai.

It is a waste to hand over such a rich territory to a dying old man.

If it had been handed over to him, he would have already worked hard to accumulate grain and grass, and prepared for the great cause of hegemony.

Hateful, hateful, the sky has no eyes!

Su Xuange's heart was full of resentment at this time.

This is not only for Yan Wangqiu's treasures and tyrannical seizures.

is even more because the other party is weak, blindly compromising with the court and Lu Yuan, and even taking him with him has to pay with him, which makes the already not rich family wealth further consumed.

Together, Su Xuange's resentment against Yan Wangqiu is already extremely deep.

In just half a year, two friends who were originally very good friends, but at this time, one of them was already resentful.

This really has to be sighed, power, really maddening.

This is just a county country, which has already made Su Xuange like this, if the territory is larger, it is difficult to imagine what this person will become.

However, the thoughts in the heart of this Ninghai lord have always been buried deep in his heart and have not been revealed, and outsiders naturally do not know about it.

Yan Wangqiu, however, noticed that Su Xuange seemed to be staring at him, and moved his gaze a little strangely.

The latter hurriedly showed a smile and nodded kindly, as always.

Seeing this, maybe it was because he was getting old, Yan Wangqiu only thought that the other party was happy for Lu Yuan's victory, and he didn't think much about it.

Just looked at it, nodded back with the same smile, and then turned his gaze to Bai Mengyang.

At this time, this Marquis of Wu An, as if he didn't notice some subtle atmosphere in the tent, said sonorously: "My army is coming to Xiangyang, the Zhou people have lost their way back, and when the news arrives, the thieves must be terrified."

At this time, the king of Changsha was in the heart of the enemy, and in order to prevent the thieves from escaping, he returned to attack the king of Changsha.

I decided that from now on, the army will attack the Zhou camp day after day.

This battle must not allow the Zhou people to escape, I want to leave all the 80,000 Zhou people in Dangyang. ”

Bai Mengyang looked around at everyone and said categorically.

For such a strong attack, in the current situation, everyone in the tent naturally has no objection to this, and they all nodded in agreement.

After seeing the hope of ending the war quickly, Yan Wangqiu said: "This king will reorganize the army later, send people to attack the city, and come to the aid of the king of Changsha." ”

Although these days, there have been repeated strong attacks, and the 100,000 people brought by the South China Sea Kingdom have died more than 30,000 at this time.

But for the sake of victory, Yan Wangqiu felt that his men and horses could endure a little longer and sacrifice for victory.

He was so enlightened, and Su Xuange, who didn't want to be enlightened next to him, was watched by everyone in the camp at this time, and he could only stubbornly say: "This king will also count the soldiers and horses, and personally lead the troops to attack the city." ”

Ninghai's family background is far less thick than that of Nanhai Guo.

Therefore, Yan Wangqiu can ignore the lives of his subordinates and force those people to die.

But Su Xuange is not as generous as him, and in order to reduce some losses, he can only bring people by himself at this time.

With an innate grandmaster under his leadership, he can more or less die and retain more vitality.

"Okay, with the help of the two kings, the Zhou people will definitely be unable to escape!"

Bai Mengyang looked at this morale-ready appearance, and his heart was also very happy, and he praised the two lords repeatedly.

In this way, the three parties in the Dangyang camp can be regarded as reaching a consensus.

The next day, under Yan Wangqiu's initiative, the two countries of Ninghai in the South China Sea quickly reorganized 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Then these people, under the supervision of the two lords, rushed to the walled city of Dangyang, which was tightly defended by the Zhou people, and embarked on the road of death.

A bloody and cruel offensive and defensive battle kicked off again.

At the same time, a hand-picked messenger also left the coalition camp and headed north.

He will pass through Jingmen Mansion, go to Xiangyang Mansion in the north, and pass Bai Mengyang's military orders to Lu Yuan under the Zhengdun Soldier City.

……

And just when the coalition forces were making another big move.

In Dangyang City, on the side of the Zhou people, the gloomy atmosphere gradually dispersed.

"Report, General, those Yue people sent a large army again, and won the storming outside the city."

In the city government, the heralds from outside the city hurriedly came in, and then saw the two generals in the yamen, and hurriedly reported the emergency military situation outside.

However, after saying that, the herald waited left and right, and did not wait for the orders of the two generals.

The military situation was like fire, and he couldn't help but cautiously raise his head and glance at the two generals in front of him.

Then I saw that the faces of these two people were completely devoid of the majesty and resoluteness of the past, but replaced with an ugly and solemn expression.

Looking at this appearance, this herald couldn't help but be confused?

Although the Yue people outside the city attacked urgently, they had not experienced it before, and they had not seen the looks of the two generals at that time.

Thinking like this in his heart, the two generals in front of him seemed to notice his gaze, and Li Yanjing, the general of the Left Pillar Kingdom, turned around, waved his hand with a cold face and said, "Okay." I already know the situation, so that the outside of the city is not as usual, and it is necessary to guard it strictly.

Unless the innate grandmaster of the Yue people makes a move, there is no need to come to us to report it specifically. ”

The small action in private was discovered, and the herald was startled in his heart, and when he heard the order, he was like being amnestied, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, the villain will go to pass the order." ”

After saying that, the man hurried away.

And after he left, only Li Yanjing was left in the room, and there was another former pillar general, Zhang Chanyi.

After a long silence.

Zhang Chanyi finally said: "The Yue people have launched an attack. ”

Li Yanjing's expression was still cold, but his tone was said with a hint of hatred: "They attacked Guining and Fangling, and now they are in Xiangyang City, and they are about to conquer the county seat, so they naturally refuse to let us go at this time." ”

Zhang Chanyi said with a little pain: "No one could have thought that Gui Lianyun would die at the hands of the Yue people. His death suddenly opened the door to the western part of Xiangyang County, and the Yue people were able to drive in, putting us in the current difficult situation. ”

Oh, yes.

Originally, an innate grandmaster led 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard a palace city, no matter how you look at it, it should be impregnable.

But the results were unexpected.

Gui Lianyun not only failed to defend Guining Mansion City, but even lost his own life there.

His death not only broke the connection between Xiangyang County and Xichuan County, but also caused a huge flaw in the defense of Xiangyang County.

Now the Yue people have been driving straight in, rampant in the hinterland of the country, and at this time they are even more soldiers in Xiangyang, cutting off their back road to the front line of Dangyang.

At this moment, it is simply a slight carelessness, which is a crisis of losing the division and losing the land, and the whole line is defeated.

This lot of pressure pressed on the two of them together, not to mention how uncomfortable Zhang Chanyi and Li Yanjing felt in their hearts.

This is also a grievance. No one expected that the Yue people would directly have four more innate grandmasters and 200,000 soldiers and horses this time.

And after these additional supports, they directly sent three grandmasters and 100,000 elite soldiers to raid Guining Mansion City.

In the face of such an enemy, it is normal for Gui Lianyun to not be able to hold Guining Mansion City. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yanjing paused, and then said with a hint of disbelief and trembling in his voice: "It's just that what I didn't expect is that even if I face the three innate grandmasters, with the strength of Gui Lianyun, even if I am defeated and retreat, there should not be much of a problem."

But this time, he couldn't even escape, and he was directly beheaded in front of the army.

Could this person be the general of the Yue Kingdom? ”

Because of the difficulty in disseminating information, the Dangyang front line, although it also received the news of the battle in Guilianyun.

But they only learned from the fleeing rout that before Gui Lianyun died in battle, he had fought with three innate grandmasters, and finally died in the north of the city.

But how did he die, and what were the details of the fight?

But it's not so clear.

So at this moment, Li Yanjing can only make inferences that are in line with his own cognition according to his own common sense.

That was the one who made the shot, it was the general of the Yue Kingdom.

Only the masters of the Innate Second Realm, combined with the two Innate Grandmasters, can make an Innate Grandmaster unable to even escape for his life and be killed before the Ten Thousand Armies.

And the innate second realm masters of the Yue Kingdom, there are only two known at present.

One is the general Shen Qiu, and the other is Bai Mengyang, the Marquis of Wu'an.

But Bai Mengyang has been on the front line, and even fought with him a few days ago, so he naturally knew that it was impossible for this person to run to attack Gui Lianyun.

Then the only explanation left is Shenqiu.

What, Lu Yuan?

Don't be kidding, a guy who has broken through the genius for more than a year, you said that he can kill a person who has achieved innate achievements for more than ten years among the ten thousand armies.

Are you crazy, or am I crazy?

From beginning to end, the possibility of Lu Yuan killing Gui Lianyun did not appear in Zhou Ren's mind.

Even at this time, there was clear news from Xiangyang, and the Yue people who were in the city at this time were Lu Yuan, the king of Changsha, and Yang Jing, the Marquis of Wuxuan.

"Regardless of whether it is Shenqiu or not, our top priority now is to withdraw our troops as soon as possible and lead the army back to Xiangyang City."

Zhang Chanyi couldn't figure out how Gui Lianyun could die, but at this time, things had already happened, and it was useless for them to lament again, what to do was how to make up for it.

Therefore, at this time, he said: "At this time, there are only 50,000 defenders in Xiangyang City, of which the real soldiers are less than 10,000, and the rest are people.

If it weren't for the urgent arrival of the general of Dongzhu Kingdom, the county town would have fallen long ago.

But even so, in the face of the strong soldiers of the Yue people, Xiangyang City is still dangerous.

And at this time, we waited for the backup to be cut off, so we didn't return to Xiangyang as soon as possible to get in touch.

I am afraid that the army on the front line here will be shaken by the general's heart, and it will be difficult to fight again.

Therefore, leading the troops to retreat has become a top priority. ”

Regarding the current situation, Li Yanjing is naturally very clear, frowning and saying: "I want to retreat, but the Yue people refuse to let us go." Now Meng's attack on the camp is like this.

There are tens of thousands of troops on the front line, and if they want to retreat all, I am afraid it is impossible.

In the end, he said that he had to give up part of it and cut off his tail to survive, so that there was a glimmer of life. ”

Zhang Chanyi said categorically: "At this moment, even if you make some sacrifices, it is better than the annihilation of the whole army." You go and arrange which people will stay behind and which ones will be bait, and which ones will be taken away. It's all in order. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Chanyi stared at Li Yanjing and said word by word: "Time is running out, we must prepare within these two days, pay attention to concealment, and don't leak the news in the army." ”

Hearing this, a trace of pain flashed in Li Yanjing's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "I know, I'll arrange it later." ”

Zhang Chanyi nodded, then took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Go ahead." ”

Li Yanjing got up, and then walked out of the room with heavy steps.

Under the rising sun, the golden sun is shining, which is a time of vitality, but the back of the general of the Left Pillar Kingdom looks particularly lonely.
