Chapter 816: Ancient Wilderness Border City
The royal city was recaptured, and the people in the royal city came out of the house one after another, welcoming the arrival of the Liang army, and the people took out the best food in the house to entertain them, however, General Dong Lao had an order, and the soldiers did not take the people's things, even if they wanted to take them, they had to give silver, otherwise they would be punished by General Dong Lao's army, and the people couldn't help but sincerely stretch out their thumbs to praise, and sure enough, their own army was good, and it was still the same as before, disciplined!
About two hours later, the royal city was cleaned up, the traces of the great battle had been almost cleaned up, the bodies of the Wei army were also disposed of, the soldiers who died in the Liang State were well buried, and the final inventory result was that the Liang State lost 13,807 people, seriously wounded 8,065 people, and lightly injured 34,545 people, and the Wei State lost 57,664 people, seriously injured 46,755 people, and lightly injured 36,543 people, a total of 125,861 people were captured, and 780,000 people escaped, the army of Liang Guo did not suffer any casualties, and the strength of Liang Guo is still there.
Two days later, King Liang led a large army to arrive, and General Dong Lao and Liang Xin had already met him at the gate of the city.
"Meet the king!" "Meet my father!" ...... "Don't be polite, get up, you've worked hard!" King Liang got down from the big white horse and personally helped General Dong up. "It's not hard, this is what an old minister should do!" said General Dong.
In addition to General Dong Lao and Liang Xin, who were at the gate of the city, there were many other people standing along both sides to welcome the return of King Liang. Chu Chen hid in the crowd. King Liang entered the city with his guards, and the army was stationed outside the city.
The palace has already been re-cleaned by General Dong Lao, and it has been opened at this time, since King Liang went to the palace of Wei, the palace has been in a closed state, Liang Xin moved out of the palace with his grandmother, and lived in the palace, and now, King Liang is re-king, naturally he is going to return to the palace, on the main hall, King Liang personally rewarded the brave soldiers who showed courage in the war, General Dong Lao was named King Wei, and King Liang opened the mode of calling the emperor, because, there are cultivators in Liang, as long as there is a king who cultivates the truth, you can be called the emperor, and King Liang is naturally okay, which declares that Liang is no longer a small country, but a real country, which can be placed alongside a powerful country like Wei.
"Now that I have been proclaimed emperor, it is time to officially declare war on the Wei State!" Emperor Liang said, and immediately, King Wei came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to act as a vanguard and crusade against the Wei State for Your Majesty!"
"This time, I don't need King Wei as the vanguard, but I will command all the armies of my Liang Kingdom!" Emperor Liang shook his head and smiled: "King Wei obeys the order!"
"The old minister is here!" Hearing this, King Wei immediately knelt on the ground and listened respectfully to Emperor Liang's order. "King Feng Wei is the generalissimo of Wei, commanding the three armies, and three days later he will send troops to attack Wei!"
"Your Majesty, can you suspend the crusade against the Wei State, after all, my Liang State has just recovered and needs to recuperate. An old minister came out and said to Emperor Liang, but Emperor Liang didn't think so, and said: "I have already thought about Aiqing's intentions, but with the current situation of my Liang country, it is impossible to recuperate, and now my Liang country is in ruins, almost all good things have been snatched away by Wei State, and the people even have to use the seeds sown in spring to survive the winter, if I don't go to Wei to get some grain back, how will the people of my Liang country survive the long spring and wait for the autumn harvest next year?" Therefore, we don't have time to wait, for the future of the Liang country, for the sake of the people of the Liang country, we must send troops, only by snatching things from the Wei country, my Liang country can survive this crisis. β
"Your Majesty is right, my Liang country has nothing now, all the good things have been robbed by the Wei people, if you don't crusade against the Wei country, how can my Liang country survive until autumn, not to mention, our people, there is not much food left, whether it can survive autumn or not. A minister came out and said to King Liang.
"It's the old minister who didn't think about it so much, and asked His Majesty to forgive him!" the minister who opposed sending troops asked Emperor Liang for his guilt.
"Aiqing is all for my cool country, there is nothing wrong with it, I will not blame Aiqing. Emperor Liang smiled and said.
The matter of sending troops was so happily decided, three days later, King Wei led the three armies to set off, mighty, 500,000 troops drove to the border of Liang Wei, and Emperor Liang personally sent King Wei and them to the imperial city ten miles away.
This time to crusade against the Wei State, Liang Xin naturally wanted to follow the army, but this time Liang Xin did not fly, but sat on a high-headed horse, right next to King Wei, Dong Nianci also followed Liang Xin's side, now, Dong Nianci is also a deputy general, with 5,000 men under his hands, and the other ten disciples of King Wei have all become deputy generals, each commanding 10,000 people.
Chu Chen pretended to be a soldier today, blending in at the end of the soldier, because he walked at the end, he didn't talk to him, and he didn't have any interest in talking to other people, so he looked very taciturn. No one spoke to him, and Chu Chen was also clean.
The speed of the march is not very fast, but it has to walk dozens of miles every day, although the Liangwang City was recovered, but several cities leading from the royal city to the border of Wei are still in the hands of Wei, however, this is not important, because the city of the Liang army, after the Wei army saw it, there was no intention to resist at all, one by one abandoned the city and fled, and the rescued Liang people, especially those in the prime of life, were willing to join the army, when the king of Wei led the army to the border, the number of the army, impressively exceeded 700,000, all those who came to join the army were to avenge the dead relatives, these Wei soldiers are simply not people, since the king of Liang was framed for rebellion, The Wei soldiers in each city exposed their true nature, either killing or robbing the Liang people in the city, making the heavens angry and resentful, and now the opportunity has come, how can those Liang people who finally survived not want to seek revenge from the Wei army, how can they not avenge their relatives? !
The newly recruited more than 200,000 soldiers were carried by veterans and scattered among the major armies, even if it was Chu Chen, they were divided into two recruits for him, these two recruits were not very old, one was only seventeen years old, and the other was only nineteen years old, and these two people were still two brothers, brothers, the two followed Chu Chen, and they were very respectful to Chu Chen, the left brother and the right brother shouted, when it was time to eat, their brothers took turns to feed Chu Chen, Chu Chen was thirsty, and the two of them found water for Chu Chen to drink, which can be said to be extremely thoughtful, in this regard, Chu Chen did not say much, but these two Chu Chen looked quite pleasing to the eye, when they were marching, casually taught them a set of martial arts, after the two learned, their strength increased a lot, in this army, there are few who can walk under their brothers on twenty moves, most of the soldiers who were challenged by them, almost two moves were defeated by them, the two learned martial arts, and they were more respectful to Chu Chen, and they sincerely regarded Chu Chen as a big brother.
"You two remember, this set of martial arts cannot be passed on to others, and if you want to pass it on, only the descendants of the two are qualified to practice. Chu Chen said to the two with a serious face, and the two immediately swore that this set of martial arts would never be passed on, but would only be passed on to their descendants. "The future of the two of you in the army is limitless, but you should cherish it. β
"Don't worry, big brother, we will definitely cherish it, and we will never let the big brother down!" The two assured in unison, these two people, the eldest brother is called Zhao Minde, the other is called Zhao Mincai, Zhao Min has to be the eldest brother, and Zhao Min is the younger brother.
After almost two months of marching, Chu Chen and they finally came to the border city of Wei, this border city of Wei is not only more majestic than the border city of Liang, but also larger, this city, called Tongliang Pass, the city wall is as high as dozens of zhang, if you want to rely on ordinary siege means to take down this city, it is almost impossible, and it is even more impossible to attack, only outwitting is the king's way, King Wei ordered to camp a few miles outside Tongliang Pass, at this time it was already late, it was time to stop and let the soldiers have a good meal, so that they had the strength to attack the city; , The two followed Chu Chen, and they didn't know where Chu Chen took them, so they didn't dare to ask for a while, so they could only follow honestly.
The two followed Chu Chen, detoured all the way, and came to a place on the edge of Tongliang City, this place was full of cliffs.
"Tonight, you two will climb up from here, and then sneak into the city and open the gates. Chu Chen said to the two.
"Boss, isn't it, it's so high, we're afraid we're going to fall to death!" Zhao Minde saw the cliff hundreds of zhang high, and suddenly felt that his legs were weak, let them kill Wei Bing, let them climb such a high and steep cliff, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare.
"Are the martial arts practiced by the two of you in vain?" Chu Chen glanced at Zhao Minde and said, "I believe you two can do it." β
"Big brother, do you really want to climb?" Zhao Mincai asked Chu Chen with some fear, Chu Chen nodded seriously, and said: "This is a good opportunity for the two of you to make contributions, but don't miss it, there is only one chance, don't blame me for not reminding the two of you, when the time comes, don't envy this and envy that in front of me." β
"Big brother, if we climb up and open the city gate, will we be able to get the favor of the princess?" asked Zhao Minde.
"Absolutely. Chu Chen nodded and said, this Zhao Minde talks about the princess in his ear every day, and when he talks about the princess, they are very energetic, if they don't want to sleep, the two of them can probably talk about a few days and nights. "Did you find it, the granddaughter of King Wei, who is often with the princess, is also good, you can also try to chase after it. β
"King Wei's granddaughter is also very beautiful, but compared to the princess, it is really far behind. Zhao Minde said, in this regard, Chu Chen just smiled, and didn't say much, after all, the princess is a cultivator, once a person cultivates the truth, the acquired impurities in the body will be discharged, whether it is skin and temperament, it is much better than people who have not cultivated the truth, and it is much more outstanding, so naturally the princess looks a lot better.
"I think it's a bit unrealistic for the two of you to pursue the princess, after all, the princess is a cultivator, and she will go to the cultivation realm in the future, but Dong Nianci is different, she is a woman in the mortal world, and King Wei likes young people who have made a difference, as long as you have made military achievements, King Wei will naturally look at you differently, and if you don't say it, one day King Wei will marry his granddaughter to one of you. Chu Chen smiled and said, although this is a bit unpleasant, but what Chu Chen said is indeed the truth.
"A soldier who doesn't want to marry a princess is not a good soldier, our goal is still a princess!" Zhao Minde said, Chu Chen didn't want to listen to this anymore, turned around and left. "Big brother, don't go!" Zhao Mincai shouted from behind, but Chu Chen was too lazy to reply to them.
Back to the barracks, after dinner, in the middle of the night, Chu Chen woke up the Zhao Minde brothers and asked them to climb the cliff, the two did not dare not agree, so they had to obediently follow Chu Chen out of the barracks, and came to the place in the daytime, looking at the high cliff, the Zhao brothers glanced at each other, and then had to start climbing, but, when the two climbed, they suddenly found that their bodies were much lighter, and it didn't seem to be too difficult to climb up.
Zhao Minde and the others suddenly felt a lot lighter, naturally Chu Chen blessed them with a small light body technique, however, even if Chu Chen didn't give them the blessing of this light body technique, with the martial arts of the two, it was okay to climb up, but the time was a little longer, after all, the two of them were just martial arts masters, not cultivators, if they changed to Liang Xin, it would be good to fly in directly.
After Chu Chen saw that the two of them had almost climbed, he flew up directly, but when the Zhao brothers looked down, Chu Chen pretended to climb on the rock wall behind them, making the two think that he had climbed up like this.
"Big brother, you also climbed up, aren't you afraid?" Zhao Min couldn't help but ask Chu Chen, Chu Chen shook his head, asked them not to speak, and continued to climb up, with a bang, climb up directly, the two were very obedient, and immediately stopped talking, and quickly climbed up, at this time, Chu Chen transmitted the message to Liang Xin, so that they were ready to attack the city at any time, Liang Xin didn't know what Chu Chen meant by suddenly speaking, but he didn't dare to disobey Chu Chen's order, and immediately went to King Wei's tent and told him that he could prepare men and horses to attack the city, hearing Liang Xin's words, King Wei just thought about it, so he asked the army to gather and prepare to attack the cityγ
It didn't take long for Chu Chen and the three of them to come to the city wall, and after Chu Chen saw that it was almost there, he asked the two of them to jump onto the city wall, just taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, the Zhao brothers jumped onto the city wall, and then, Chu Chen also 'jumped' over.
"Now, you two open the gates as fast as you can, and the King of Wei should be ready to attack the city by now. Chu Chen said to the Zhao brothers.
