Chapter 387: The Death of the Law Minister

"Tell the general that the situation in Huaizhou is still not good. ”

"Chen Man, that traitor, is unpredictable, but he has appeared in Huaizhou many times. After General Bai and General Huang suffered a loss, they were cautious and did not dare to attack rashly to avoid being tracked by Chen Man in the field. The two of them can only lead most of them now, stick to Luoyang City, and use Luoyang's fourth-order spiritual veins and mountain protection arrays to defend them. As for clearing out the demons, they can only send a small force to leave the mountain protection array and go to the periphery to do it. ”

"Of course, this can be around the periphery, but for the spread of demonic chaos, the effect of blocking is very poor. The Demon Entrant tried to attack Luo Yang a few times, and Chen Man also sent his Yuan Infant clone to conduct common sense, but after failing a few times, he didn't continue to fight. They surrounded but did not fight, divided their troops to bypass Luoyang, and continued to spread demonic chaos......"

"The problems around Luoyang are not big, but Huaizhou is still inevitably falling......"

"So far, half of Xuzhou has fallen, Xuanwu Marquis is sitting in Xudu, and the north of Xudu is not safe for the time being; there are our secret agents, who entered Zhaizhou, and the news reported that Zhaizhou is completely gone, whether it is the government or some local Xiuzhen families, small sects, and small organizations; even mortals, they can't see it. In other words, there are no living people in Zhaizhou now, and half of Huaizhou has fallen......"

"And the demon entrants led by Chen Man, there is no clear statement yet, but it is estimated that the total should be no less than 200,000 ......"

"And among them, there are hundreds of people who are equivalent to Qiming monks and above, and there may be three or four if the golden pill is over ten, and if the yuan is infant. ”

"Moreover, the army of Yan has crossed the defense line of the Great River, and half of Hezhou on the south bank of the Great River has completely fallen, and the current army of the Yan State should have entered the territory of Yingzhou. From Yingzhou to Caizhou to Xuzhou, we no longer have a structured means of defense in the north of the country. ”

"In the worst-case scenario, it may be that the city will face the attack of demons in the south, and the army of the Yan Kingdom in the north will ......."

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Xia Cang, the general of Wei, was expressionless and did not say a word.

The reporter raised his head and peeked at the general's expression, very entangled in his heart.

After a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart: "Please also ask the general to withdraw his troops, if this continues, even if we win the Qi country, the family and the country will not be guaranteed." ”

After he finished speaking, many Wei officers who were attending the meeting at the same time also stood up and said to Xia Cang: "Please also ask the general to withdraw his troops!"

Xia Cang's eyes swept over the people below, and he saw that there were slight sweat stains on the foreheads of many people.

This is normal. He Xia Cang is the undefeated god of war of the Wei State, and he has a deep prestige, and he is the one who says nothing in the army, and even in the entire Wei State.

These officers, to be honest, are his henchmen, and most of them were picked up by him. If it were normal, no one would have imagined that this kind of situation would happen that is a bit like forcing the palace.

Of course, this is still very different from forcing the palace. This is essentially a suggestion, even if Xia Cang doesn't listen, these people can't do anything, and when it's time to charge for the general, they will still be there.

It's just that, in the eyes of most people, it's really time for survival to be at stake.

They had the upper hand in the war with the Great Qi army. If the fight continues for a long time, almost every monk of the Wei Kingdom believes that it will be the Great Wei who will win in the end.

However, this victory will not be achieved in the short term. The army of Great Qi can be regarded as tenacious, and it is not something that can be defeated in a while; Cui Qing, the minister of law of Great Qi, has a mysterious whereabouts, and if he can't defeat Xia Cang, he won't fight Xia Cang head-on, if you kill me as a monk of the Qi Kingdom, I will kill you as a monk of the Wei Kingdom; if you forcibly come to me, I will lead the team to find a spiritual vein that the Qi State can control, and open a great array to protect the mountain.

Qi also knows the current situation, although they are inferior on the frontal battlefield, as long as they hold on, the first to collapse must be the Wei State. Therefore, they are more resilient to war than ever, after all, the dawn of victory is just around the corner.

On the contrary, those who are more anxious will naturally be Wei people.

This is also why so many people even dare to break through the majesty of the great general Xia Cang and unite with the public.

Seeing so many subordinates in such a posture, Xia Cang sighed slightly.

They may have heard what the previous reporter said, empathized with it, or simply connected it in private, but in short, they have expressed their attitude very clearly.

Xia Cang said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to withdraw, but I can't withdraw." ”

"Before the tenth day, I had already sent an envoy to the Qi army to sue for peace. The conditions have been opened to the extreme, but they are still rejected by Cui Qing. ”

When one of the people below heard this, he couldn't help but let out a resentful voice: "Qi people, I really don't die!"

But no one agreed.

The dispute between Qi and Wei is not an overnight thing, they are enemies for generations! In countless years of war, countless hatreds have been formed, and it is so easy to let go.

Not to mention what their Qi State thinks, this time alone, isn't it their Wei people who provoked the war? In this battle, the Wei people have launched a large army, which means that they want to fight a war to destroy the country.

"If our army retreats, Cui Qing will lead the army of Qi and chase after him. In the process of withdrawing the troops, I don't know how many dead and wounded my Great Wei soldiers were. ”

"Even if they don't chase and kill, but just hang slowly in the back, gradually encroaching from east to west, we may have to face the bad situation of evil demons in front and the army of Qi in the future. ”

I only admit it below, and you and I said it again.

It is not without optimistic people, but as long as they are sober, it is not difficult to see that in this war, which has almost decided the fortunes of the Great Wei Dynasty, they have fallen to an extremely bad point.

Suddenly, a person stood up and bowed his hand to Xia Cang and said, "General, I have a method, or it is feasible." ”

"Come on. The expression on Xia Cang's face did not change, in fact, he already roughly knew what the other party was going to say.

The person who stood up was a monk at the peak of the Great Wei Dynasty, the mighty Marquis Zhang Shichang. His person, in the information of other countries, is believed to be the one hidden by Wei.

Of course, now the world knows that the law minister is Xuanwu Marquis Zheng Yu, not him Zhang Shichang.

But in any case, being considered like this at least proves that he is indeed superior. He is an old Yuanying, and he has stood at the peak level of Yuanying for many years. Even, if the time was stretched out for a longer time in the future, or if he was given some chance, maybe he would really be able to become a true Dharma Cultivator.

"To suppress the demonic rebellion, of course, the army is important, but more importantly, the general himself. ”

"If you can return to China and join forces with Xuanwu Hou, you can go south and solve the demonic chaos. As long as Chen Man is killed, the demonic rebellion can be suppressed. ”

"And I, the acting general, disguised myself as you and tried my best to deceive Cui Qing, which can delay some time. ”

"Before that, we can withdraw the army first, if Cui Qing is cautious and just follows behind without delay, then ignore them, general, you go back first; After suffering this big loss, with Cui Qing's timid and cautious character, he can't be sure that you are not in the army, so he will never dare to chase too closely. ”

"And if we end up finding out here...... That's all there is to it, try to make the army flee back to some people, and as many as they can escape. I only hope that the general can solve the domestic turmoil, and after a hundred years, after my Great Wei recuperates, I will find the country of Qi and avenge us!"

After speaking, Zhang Shichang knelt on the ground, faced the direction of Xu Du, and kowtowed.

After hearing these words, Xia Cang looked at the others below and asked, "You also mean the same thing?"

"For my Great Wei, I will never give up!"

"Then let's do what we say. ”

......

In the northern part of Great Wei, among the Yan army that continued to march south, Weiyun's temper in the past had long since disappeared.

Although he didn't want to admit it, let alone talk to Lu Qing, he had to admit that it was really correct to listen to what Lu Qing said before and lead the army to continue south.

For no other reason, victory came too easily.

After breaking through the defense line of the Great River, the Yuan Ying of Wei who was originally stationed on the defense line, died and fled, and the army of Yan encountered almost no effective resistance in the process of moving south.

Yingzhou fought a battle, and after entering the territory of Caizhou, Wei was organizing a revolt. First of all, the two Wei Yuanying who escaped before tried to resist stubbornly with the help of a fourth-order spiritual vein mountain protection array, but in the end, under the attack of Wei Yun and Lu Qing, and under the indiscriminate bombardment of the array cannon, the mountain protection array was crumbling, forcing these two to choose to continue to escape.

Then, they gradually organized a defensive line in Caizhou, preparing to resist step by step.

But these are in vain after all.

The army of Yan State is still marching forward, pressing them back to Xuzhou step by step, and there is accurate information that they should have given up the idea of gradual resistance and entered Xudu.

And this also means that Dayan will go south and include Hezhou, Yingzhou, and Caizhou.

What does it mean to be in the land of three states? Dayan itself is only seven states, and Selangor can only be regarded as half a state at most, and although the land is vast, it is too barren.

And Hezhou, Yingzhou, Caizhou, and Yanguo can be regarded as big states, whether it is population, land or resource output.

Especially Yingzhou, which is a more fertile place than Jizhou. In the entire territory of Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that only Wuzhou can be compared.

And now, these three states are all under the control of Yan State.

If Yan Guo can completely grasp this land and digest it, then the national strength of Great Yan may be able to skyrocket by more than sixty percent!

It's a very unwieldy interest.

Even, Weiyun was already thinking in his heart whether it was possible for the Yan Kingdom to really occupy this land in his hands after the war.

Lu Qing didn't say anything about this.

Of course he wouldn't mind if he could.

However, just when the high-level leaders of Dayan were dreaming and led the army towards Xuzhou in the south, two pieces of news came almost back and forth.

The first one is quite surprising: the Wei army in Xu Duzhong dispatched to the south. There are not many people, but they are all elite.

Under the hard work of these people, the Wei army took back the fallen area in the south of Xuzhou in a short period of time. Even if there was a demon entrant at the Yuan Infant level among them, there was almost no resistance, and they were quickly eliminated.

And this army did not stop the pace, but broke into the territory of Zhaizhou at a faster speed.

The last news about this force was that they were heading towards Huhan County, and it looked like they were heading towards the Valley of the Ghost-Faced God.

This is going to find Chen Man's trouble.

Although, Lu Qing knew that Chen Man's true body was not there.

If it's just Zheng Yu, then I'm afraid this guy doesn't have the guts. In fact, judging from the information revealed in this piece of information, everyone is more consistent in guessing that Xia Cang is likely to have returned.

This is actually a bit unexpected.

Some time ago, the peace talks between Great Wei and Great Qi did not come to fruition, but despite this, the main force of Wei had already retreated from Qingxu Erzhou. Cui Qing led the army of Qi and chased after him, but was killed by Xia Cang's team, and the losses were quite heavy. Cui Qing himself also fought another battle with Xia Cang, lost again, and was injured.

As a result, I didn't expect that it hadn't been long since Xia Cang had a very good chance of returning to Xudu.

And from then on, it can also be roughly analyzed that Wei's strategy.

They should have planned to find Chen Man quickly, kill him, solve the biggest source of the demonic chaos, and then retreat to the Qi and Yan kingdoms, and finally slowly deal with the huge wounds left by the domestic demonic chaos.

Obviously, even if this matter is like Wei's plan, if it is carried out to the hottest, Wei will be greatly damaged.

Moreover, it is difficult to say whether this can be done or not.

Where is Chen Man so easy to find?

Whether they put an end to this source of demonic chaos first, or whether the army of Yan State attacked Xu Capital first, or whether Qi State fought from the east is still another matter.

And three hours after the news reached the top of the Yan army, a message from the east, like an earthquake, also arrived.

This news makes people feel even more incredible:

Cui Qing is dead.

This news is too explosive.

The first reaction of many high-level officials in Yan Kingdom, including Lu Qing, to this incident was that they felt that the information was wrong, and this was fake news.

That's Cui Qing, a famous person who has been famous for hundreds of years, the pillar of the Great Qi Kingdom, and Xia Cang's identity in the Wei State.

Just dead?

Xia Cangdu has already returned to Xudu from the battlefield on the Eastern Front, who can still threaten Cui Qing? How did he die?
