Chapter 48: East-West Night Meeting Phoenix Ridge to discuss a plan to get rid of the ghost town
Chapter Forty-Eight: The East-West Night Meeting Phoenix Ridge Discuss the plan to get rid of the ghost town
Under an ancient pine, there was a vague old man in a purple robe standing with his hands in his hands, his clothes swaying in the wind, and beside the old man lay a swarthy leopard, the leopard's eyes were half-narrowed, and its two black ears would shake twice from time to time, as if to tell its owner that he was not asleep.
The old man stood with his hands in his hands, looked up at the sky, and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky through the lush shadows of the trees, not knowing what he was thinking.
He stood here for nearly two hours, and the mountain breeze at night was still a little cool, but looking at the old man's appearance, he didn't seem to feel the coolness, just quietly looking at the sky.
At ten o'clock in the night, the wind gradually decreased, and the mountain seemed extraordinarily quiet, and there was a terrible smell in the tranquility.
At this moment, the black leopard lying on the ground suddenly stood up and whispered in the direction of the old man's sideways.
"General Yelu came very early!" A hearty voice full of vitality sounded, and after that voice sounded, a middle-aged man in a black brocade robe appeared on a mountain rock dozens of meters behind the old man.
When the panther who stood up saw the man, he was about to jump out and tear the man apart, but at this moment, the old man's voice sounded faintly: "It's not as calm and relaxed as General Huang, and now the pot is about to explode under our military tent." ”
The black panther seemed to understand human nature, and did not jump out, but fell to the ground again, looking at the middle-aged man intently.
"General Yelu doesn't want to make fun of Huang, Huang's situation is not much better!" the middle-aged man said with a wry smile.
The old man turned around faintly, still standing with his hands in his hands, and quietly looked at the middle-aged man opposite: "I don't know what happened when General Huang was about to come here late at night?"
Since the old general has this question, Huang will not hide it. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"Regarding the union of Dongyue and Xichu, Huang has a lot of things he doesn't understand, and he also asked the old general to solve my doubts. Huang Dingbang's tone was very sincere, and his eyes looked at Ye Luxiong without blinking.
Yeluxiong shook his head: "You and I have not clashed once or twice, you and I have been fighting against each other for several months, and the sons under our hands have suffered countless casualties, do you think our two armies may join forces?"
"Don't talk about this, although there has been no big war between Dongyue and Xichu over the years, but the small friction has always been constant, Dongyue has a layout in Xichu, and Xichu has done a lot of things in Dongyue, guarding against each other, wishing that the other party would play early, this time they actually joined hands to fight the enemy, not to mention you, even the old man can't figure it out!"
"Old general, the ghost city is very important to both you and me, if the ghost city is captured, then how should the ownership of the ghost city be calculated?" Huang Dingbang asked.
"This point is not mentioned in the secret decree given to me by His Majesty, what did General Huang say?"
Huang Dingbang shook his head: "Mine too, the above did not mention it, but it just said that from now on, the two families of Xichu and Dongyue will be each other's liver and gall, and all wars will be eliminated." ”
"After capturing the ghost city, Ben will lead his men and horses back to Western Chu. ”
"The gold, silver and jewelry in the ghost city are half of each of you and me, and then I will lead the army back to Dongyue. ”
"As long as the ghost town is broken, the trade route between Dongyue and Xichu will be opened, and then the two countries will have frequent exchanges, and it doesn't matter whether the ghost town exists at that time. ”
"How long does the old general think it will take for the ghost town to be broken?"
"You and I are besieging the city, cutting off the supply of the ghost city, the ghost city can be broken within half a month, if you and I attack the city at the same time, the ghost city can be broken in three days. When Ye Luxiong said this, he had a convincing momentum, as one of the few generals in the Western Chu Empire, he had this strength and this confidence.
"If the ghost city fights to the death, I'm afraid that even if you and I can win, we will lose a lot of people. ”
"Yes, now that the ghost city is under the care of Mrs. Liu, the combat power is several times greater than before, that is, you and I will attack at the same time, and if you want to win, you have to pay at least 200,000 horses. ”
"200,000?
"Ask how do you think about the combat power of Tianfu You know better than me, the six battalions of A, B, C, Ghost Brake, Hades, and Wushuang, plus Xing Manlou's berserk army, add up to nearly 100,000 troops, most of these people are selected through the ghost city competition, plus the training of blood and fire during this time, today's combat power is no less than the strong generals under you and me, do you think it will take three days to capture the ghost city, these 200,000 horses?"
Huang Dingbang nodded: "That's the truth, especially Mo Qinghua, although this woman's combat power is strong, it is not surprising, but the two swords in her hands are too demonic, I don't know if the old general has the means to restrain it?"
"After talking for a long time, this is your purpose!"
"The old general is wise, but Huang racked his brains and didn't find a suitable way. Huang Dingbang was not embarrassed at all, and spoke very naturally.
"There's no good way to deal with her, I'm afraid only long-range attacks will work. ”
"With the arm strength of the archers under you and me, if you want to break through the body protection qi of a master of her level, I'm afraid I can't catch it!" Huang Dingbang didn't think about this method, but in the end he denied it.
Let's not talk about whether the arrow feather can shoot Mo Qinghua, that is, if she shoots Mo Qinghua, whether she has the spare strength to hurt her is the key to the problem.
Yeluxiong smiled, "So, in fact, I don't have a good solution. ”
"Since the assault can't be forced, let her surrender voluntarily. ”
"How long is the siege?"
"Siege to Wentianfu to surrender, siege to the ghost city to fight. ”
"Okay, that's it. Ye Luxiong nodded, the current method was the best way they could find, not only to trap and kill Mo Qinghua, but also to minimize their own losses.
"Old general, Huang still has a question, I don't know if to say it or not. ”
General Huang said it was okay. ”
"If the ghost town is broken, what will Mo Qinghua do?"
"That's your Dongyue's business, what does it have to do with my Xichu!" Ye Luxiong said with an unkind expression, although the two families temporarily joined forces, it did not mean that Xichu wanted to wipe his ass for Dongyue.
Mo Qinghua is the daughter of Xuanshan Confucian, with the reputation of Xuanshan Confucian, this woman is not easy to deal with, even the Dongyue Imperial Court will have a headache, if Xi Chu takes Mo Qinghua away, then Mo Xuanshan will find trouble in the future, will this pot be carried by Xi Chu?
This is obviously impossible.
"If I am willing to pay for the property of the ghost town, is the old general willing to help with this?" asked Huang Dingbang.
"It's not about money or money, it's that I really can't help. Jeruchon shook his head.
Huang Dingbang wanted to say anything more, Ye Luxiong had already stepped on the black panther, waved his hand at Huang Dingbang, and said: "It's late at night, the general should go back!"
As his words fell, the black panther disappeared into the night like a ghost, leaving only Huang Dingbang sighing there.
、、、、、、
It has been two days since the armies of the ghost city, Dongyue and Xichu were pressing, and the hearts of everyone in the ghost city were like pressing a big stone.
In a restaurant, several burly men were scolding while drinking.
"Damn, I really let Wentianfu say it, the bastards of Xichu and Dongyue are really not good-hearted. ”
"Dog's day, it's a big deal to fight to the death, and eighteen years later, he is a good man again. ”
"Besiege but not attack, this is to consume my ghost town alive!"
"I don't know if there is a solution to it in Tianfu. ”
"Brother, don't dream, the whole army of 400,000 is pressing the border, and even if Tianfu is powerful, it is impossible to kill a bloody road. ”
"The most important thing is that we don't really have a place to go except a ghost town. ”
"If there's really no way, then there's only way to go up the mountain!"
"With the style of asking Tianfu, maybe he will really fight to the end. "61 Library
"Then should I fight or stay?"
"Needless to say, naturally follow Wentianfu, only when the ghost city is twisted into a rope, we can have a glimmer of life. ”
"Yes, my ghost town boy has never lacked blood. ”
"Wang Mazi, just say this to you, today's wine lady invites you. The proprietress carried a whole jar of wine and placed it on the table of several men.
"Erniang is righteous, just rush today's jar of wine, and my brothers will inevitably fight to the end. ”
"Okay, fight to the death. ”
There are such voices coming from all over the ghost city, but there is an endless quarrel in the Tianfu at the moment, and their high-level people have not seen the problem of fighting and leaving as thoroughly as those men outside.
Mo Qinghua, who was sitting on the main seat, never spoke, quietly looking at the noisy ghost city leaders in the hall, this time the meeting was so wide that it far exceeded any meeting since the opening of the Tianfu Mansion, almost all the strong people and forces in the ghost city gathered here, and the entire Wentianfu Conference Hall could be said to be full, and there were many people who did not have seats, standing aside and listening.
The armies of Dongyue and Western Chu pressed the border, and they couldn't afford not to pay attention to it.
At this moment, the people arguing in the hall are mainly discussing the issue of war and staying, don't look at the two countries' armies pressing the border, but no one proposed to surrender, this is the temperament of the people in the ghost city, and it is also their heart.
They are used to wandering freely in ghost towns, where can they stand the domination of others!
"Mrs. Liu, you should come up with a charter when you gather us here! What do you mean by not talking?"
"Yes, Mrs. Liu, whether you fight or go, you give me a happy word, and we have nothing to say!"
"Yes, as long as Mrs. Liu gives an order, I will wait for the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and there will be no two words!"
"No words!"
"Follow Mrs. Liu, follow Tianfu!"
Everyone is not afraid of the characters, especially during this period of time constantly fighting with the army of Dongyue and Xichu, a bloody character has been stimulated to the extreme, at this time someone took the lead, one by one is naturally not to be left behind, so, there was a strange scene in the overcrowded hall, a high-level on the main seat looked at the excited and inexplicable people shouting below, and everyone below all looked at the woman on the main seat without saying a word and quietly looking at the woman below.
Xia Lingxiao saw that Mo Qinghua didn't mean to speak, so he immediately stood up, pressed down with both hands, and everyone's excited expressions eased, even if the ghost city is now respected by Mo Qinghua, Xia Lingxiao's power has not decreased in the slightest.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Xia Lingxiao cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, it is not easy for the ghost city to have today, when the development momentum of my ghost city is strong, more than 400,000 troops from Dongyue and Xichu are pressing the border, why?"
No one spoke, everyone just looked at Xia Lingxiao quietly, and the needles in the hall could be heard.
"Because, the development of the ghost city has threatened the two countries of Dongyue and Xichu, if the ghost city is allowed to develop, then my ghost city will be a third-party force dominating the east-west artery, cutting off the trade between Dongyue and Xichu in one fell swoop. ”
"So, they're not going to allow us to be big. ”
"But can we appoint?"
"No, you can't. ”
"No, you can't. ”
"No, you can't. ”
The roar of the mountain and the tsunami came from the throats of the people, and the hall trembled.
Xia Lingxiao's hands pressed down again, signaling everyone to be quiet.
As he pressed down with his hands, everyone's voices gradually became quieter, and without waiting for Xia Lingxiao to speak, Shui Mengchan on the side said: "It is not a wise move to fight to the death, judging from the situation in the ghost city today, I think it is better to retreat to the Zijin Mountain Range, preserve your strength, and slowly try to do it in the future." ”
"Lord Shui, with the current momentum of Dongyue and Xichu, they will never let us retreat to the Zijin Mountain Range, the old man thinks that if he fights against the water, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
"It's not easy to fight against the water, but if you're not careful, you will bury ninety percent of the strength of the ghost town. The head of the Kong family spoke.
"Even if you retreat to the Purple Gold Mountain Range, you will lose at least fifty percent of your strength. ”
"His grandmother's, Dongyue and Xichu didn't let us have a good time, and fought with them. ”
"That is, one death on the left and right, killing one is enough, and killing two is still profitable. ”
"Yes, fuck it. ”
Ghost city people, regardless of age, are not blood-ischic, live in ghost towns all the year round, the geographical location is remote, and they are rejected by Dongyue and Xichu, and over time, they have developed this kind of temperament of ghost town people.
Not to mention, most of the people in the ghost town have fled to the ghost town for refuge, and now Dongyue and Xichu are attacking together, which is equivalent to blocking their last retreat, where are they willing.
"Mrs. Liu, please give the order to fight?"
"Mrs. Liu, give the order!"
"Mrs. Liu, we are not afraid of fighting to the death, and we should live and die with the ghost city. ”
"Madam, the ghost town is united, and there is no shortage of courage to fight to the death, I think it can be a battle. ”
Everyone persuaded one after another, that is, even Xing Manlou Ye Feixue and others couldn't sit still, most of the people in the ghost city came here to flee, how could their Liu family not be like this, now Dongyue and Xichu have joined forces to suppress the ghost city, saying that it is good to say that it is worried that the development momentum of the ghost city is too fast, and to say that it is difficult to hear, in fact, it is just worried about asking Tianfu to become bigger.
Mo Qinghua raised her head slowly, her beautiful face was full of calm, and the pressure of more than 400,000 troops in Dongyue and Xichu did not move her in the slightest, maybe this is the great calmness of Mount Tai in front of the collapse, maybe this woman who abandoned her husband and children and left her hometown was ready to fight to the death.
As Mo Qinghua raised his head, everyone in the hall felt that the air was stagnant, and no one spoke anymore, and everyone who was arguing at the beginning fell silent, looking at this middle-aged woman with a beautiful face with a pair of eyes full of expectation, as if she could solve all difficulties.
After one battle after another, Mo Qinghua took the lead as a woman, and what was condensed was not only the blood of these gangsters, but also the hearts of the people.
Up to now, it has been three full days since the armies of Dongyue and Western Chu pressed the border, but there has not been a single phenomenon of fleeing without a fight in the ghost city, which is not only the reason why the people in the ghost city are worshipping the blood, but also their blind trust in Mo Qinghua.
From asking Tianfu to take root in the ghost city, to the ghost city competition, to the ghost city taking the initiative to attack the Dongyue and Western Chu armies, until this moment, the armies of Dongyue and Western Chu are pressing, Mo Qinghua led everyone to complete one seemingly impossible thing after another, this is her charm, and this is also the reason why everyone is willing to follow her.
"First of all, thank you for your trust in Wentianfu, and thank you for your trust in my Mo Qinghua, but Wentianfu has failed the trust of the monarchs, although the ghost city has developed rapidly during this time, but there have been heavy casualties, here, Tsinghua apologizes to the monarchs. After finishing speaking, Mo Qinghua actually stood up and slowly bowed to everyone.
In the hall, whether they were sitting on the main seat or sitting under the hall, or those who were already standing, they were all shocked, and immediately got up one after another, avoiding the front of Mo Qinghua.
The originally crowded hall unexpectedly opened a passage about two people wide under Mo Qinghua's bow, and there was no one in the middle of the passage.
"Mrs. Liu, you are tormenting me!"
"Mrs. Liu, no, I'm ashamed!"
"Mrs. Liu's words are serious, if the people of the ghost town have a little conscience, they will never blame Mrs. for the slightest, from asking Tianfu to enter the ghost city to now, how is the development of the ghost town in a short period of time, we are not blind. ”
"Yes, if you say that the casualties in the ghost town are large, the casualties in the ghost city are not less, and the sacrifice of the ghost city in the ghost city is in the eyes of us, we old guys came to the Tianfu for the first time to hold a meeting, not to force Mrs. Liu to fight to the death, but to say that we old guys live and die with you, as long as you give an order, we will fight or go. ”
Mo Qinghua slowly stood up, smiled at everyone, and said: "Although Mo Qinghua is a woman, he is never ischemic. ”
The hall was quiet again, and after everyone heard Mo Qinghua's words, their faces immediately turned rosy, and even some men had red eyes.
"The kings of the ghost city, there is also no shortage of blood, now that the armies of Dongyue and Western Chu are pressing, it is the best choice to leave this place and go to the Zijin Mountain Range, but I ask what is the original intention of Tianfu to settle down in the ghost city?"
No one spoke, everyone already knew the answer, when the Tianfu was opened, it had already been said that it would be a three-legged stand with Dongyue and Xichu, this matter As the Wentianfu controlled the ghost city, the entire ghost city can be said to be a household name, no one did not know about this matter, and they were very much looking forward to the future development and direction of the Tianfu.
This is also the reason why they still did not choose to leave after the armies of Dongyue and Xichu pressed the border, if the ghost city escaped this catastrophe, then the ghost city can really stand with Dongyue and Xichu in the future.
Those of them who originally wandered the world really have a home!
