For Yunzhou, which is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, August is the season of high and crisp autumn.

Whether it is a dignitary or a small family, after being stuffy in the house for several months in the hot summer, they will choose to go out to the suburbs at this time to feel the cool and pleasant autumn.

However, Xue Wei was obviously different from ordinary people, even if he was standing on the towering city tower at this moment, his clothes were blown up by the cool breeze on his face, and his forehead was still covered with dense beads of sweat.

Xue Wei was followed by a group of civilian and military generals, all of whom were his confidants, and there was no shortage of Confucian protégés in the realm of literary teachers, and the military generals were also good fighters in the Tianping Army, including two new military generals.

There are fifty-three feudal towns in the world, if such a lineup was placed a year ago, it would definitely be able to make Xue Wei look down on all directions in the feudal town festival.

But this is no longer the case.

The general trend of the world has changed too rapidly in the past six months, with the continuous beacon fire and wolf smoke, soldiers and wars have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and after the princes in various places have tried every possible way to expand their territory, the number of Confucian scribes has gradually increased.

In today's world, it seems that military generals are not military generals, and when they confront the enemy on the battlefield, they dare not raise their heads and announce their names loudly; if civil officials are not Confucian scribes and scholars, they are embarrassed to serve as state and county officials.

These generals and scholars behind Xue Wei can make him full of confidence and hold his head high when facing ordinary feudal towns, such as the feudal towns in Lingnan, Hunan. It's a pity that he is now sandwiched between the Pinglu Army and the Xuanwu Army, facing the best princes in the world.

A few literary generals didn't give him a little confidence in his heart.

Xue Wei's eyes had been staring at the south, and there were many pedestrians on the official road, but the people he was waiting for had not appeared for a long time, which made him sigh heavily.

He said: "Ben Shuai heard that Zhu Wen has come out of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm for many days, and his cultivation has risen greatly to the Immortal Realm. Yunzhou is only 300 miles away from Bianzhou, if he suddenly rushes over to assassinate Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai's head on the neck, I don't know if he can keep it. ”

When these words came out, the civilian, military and military generals behind him all changed their expressions.

One of the elderly civil servants hurriedly said: "There is no need to worry so much. Although Zhu Wen is powerful, he is no match for His Royal Highness King An, how can he dare to come to Yunzhou alone to assassinate the Lian Envoy under the nose of His Royal Highness King An? If he is caught by His Royal Highness King An, it will be more than worth the loss!"

Hearing this, Xue Wei's face looked a little better, but the look of worry still did not disappear.

He said uneasily: "Zhu Wen is naturally not comparable to King An. It's just that King An sits on the seven towns of Hebei and the land of Pinglu, and he may not be able to take care of me...... I hope, I hope that King An still has my little life in his eyes......"

When Xue Wei said this, his expression was humble, and his voice fell in the hearts of the civil officials and military generals, making people feel that Xue Wei was like a small grass under a storm, and life and death could not be left to him, he could only pray for the protection of the gods.

And the gods are busy.

This scene is really unspeakably tragic.

Sensing everyone's mentality, Xue Wei also had to be too pessimistic, he smiled bitterly: "Thinking of me Xue Wei, I am also a town festival envoy with an army of 100,000 ......."

His voice stopped abruptly, and the rest of the words came back to his stomach.

The person he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared on the official road.

The two horses galloped forward, frightening the pedestrians all the way, and hurriedly dodged to the sides.

It was a scout sent by Xue Wei in the direction of Caozhou and Huazhou.

Soon, the two scouts rushed up to the city tower and bowed down in front of Xue Wei.

"Tell me quickly, how is the military situation ahead?" Xue Wei turned around and asked urgently.

"Report to the commander, the Xuanwu army is descending along the white ditch, and the vanguard army is already approaching Caozhou County!" The slightly older scout was the first to speak out in a hurry. He himself was a monk in the middle of Qi training, and he was specially appointed by Xue Wei to go to Caozhou to investigate the military situation, so he was able to bring back the most timely enemy intelligence.

Baigou is a river that connects Bianzhou and Caozhou, which were ruled by the Xuanwu Army, and finally flows into Juyeze, and Yunzhou is on the bank of Juyeze.

In other words, the Xuanwu army went down the river, and if it captured Caozhou, it would be able to reach the city of Yunzhou from the waterway!

Caozhou Sentence County is the only bridgehead for Caozhou to defend the Xuanwu Army, if the Sentence is captured by the Xuanwu Army, Caozhou will have to face the Xuanwu Army, and it is difficult to defend.

Hearing the news, Xue Wei's face turned pale instantly, and his voice trembled and asked, "Xuan...... The vanguard of the Xuanwu Army, there are ...... How many terracotta friars are there?"

The scout replied, "There are no less than 50,000 cavalry, and 800 soldiers with you!"

"Fifty thousand steps to ride...... Eight hundred soldiers...... This is just a pioneer ......" Xue Wei couldn't help but take two steps back, his steps were staggering, he almost couldn't stand steadily, and he felt that the sky had fallen.

He knew very well in his heart that the more than 10,000 guards who only relied on the grievances could not defeat this army, and it was very likely to collapse at the first touch. And Caozhou ...... Most likely, even rescue will not be able to do anything.

And once the Xuanwu army is allowed to fight under the city of Caozhou, its main army will inevitably catch up, and even if Caozhou has more soldiers and horses, it will be useless.

Xue Wei smiled miserably after gaining a firm foothold, "Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen still made the first move after all......!" He really didn't want to sit still, he was really ambitious, he really ...... He wants to pull out the nail of Caozhou first! No, he is not pulling out the nail of Caozhou, he wants to capture the entire three states of my Tianping! In this way, he can cooperate with the direction of Gunzhou and use troops from both sides to Pinglu at the same time!"

Baigou flows through Juyeze and then to the northeast, communicates with Jeju in Pinglu, changes its name to Jishui, and finally joins the Bohai Sea.

When the civil officials and generals heard Xue Wei's words, their hearts were also cold, they knew that what Xue Wei said was the truth, and they were all flustered.

Even Xue Wei, the protagonist, is so desperate, where can he still be stable?

However, the scouts have not yet returned with an emergency military report.

The other scout was a little younger, and he had returned from the direction of Huazhou.

He said in a trembling voice: "The Huazhou Yicheng Army is divided into two divisions, and it has recently completed the assembly in Weinan and Weicheng counties, which are close to the borders of Caozhou and Puzhou. ”

"According to the investigation, the Yicheng Army in Weinan County in the north has signs of marching towards Puzhou, while the Yicheng Army in Weicheng County in the south is mostly elite cavalry, and the rangers have invaded the border of Huazhou!"

Xue Wei opened his mouth and was speechless.

Tianping three states, Caozhou, Puzhou, Yunzhou, of which Puzhou is adjacent to the Yellow River, and the feudal town of Weibo on the opposite bank faces each other across the river.

If reinforcements from the direction of Weibo come to support the Tianping Army, Puzhou is a must-pass place, and the Yicheng Army will deploy heavy troops in Weinan County, with the intention of capturing Puzhou and cutting off the reinforcements from Hebei!

At the same time, the elite cavalry of the Yicheng Army assembled in the direction of Weicheng was to quickly insert into the rear of Caozhou when necessary to block Yunzhou's reinforcements of Caozhou's army!

The old man's staff who had spoken before couldn't keep calm at the moment, and said with trembling teeth, "It seems that Zhu Wen is determined to win the Tianping Army......

Xue Wei's mind was not belonging, and his eyes were empty: "The Tianping Army is coming to an end...... Before the army of the Pinglu Army came, the three states of Tianping were about to fall into the hands of the enemy......."

He suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, and said sadly: "God, what did I Xue Wei do wrong, and I want to fall into this situation today?!"

The Xuanwu Army has already moved, and with the strength of the Tianping Army alone, it will perish in the tenth day.

In all fairness, in the face of troubled times, the Tianping Army has never taken the initiative to provoke a war, and it is extremely rare to abide by the duty of a feudal town.

However, in troubled times and great contention in the world, it is not possible to protect oneself without taking the initiative to provoke wars.

The wheel of history will not stop advancing, and the black clouds of the general trend will crush over sooner or later, and if you can't become a tide maker in the rolling torrent, you can only watch yourself fall.

Just like Liu Biao, who sat in Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, he has always done his duty to protect the territory and the people, but in the end he was wiped out by Cao Cao's army in the south without much effort.

The old man's staff suddenly asked, "Envoy Lian, Didn't His Royal Highness King An already promise to send elite soldiers to help us defend Caozhou? Why haven't they arrived yet? When will they arrive?"

At this critical juncture of life and death, the only person they could think of that could save them from fire and water was King An.

That's all they have hoped.

Xue Wei said abruptly: "It's too late, King An's soldiers and horses are too late, there are still seven days before the deadline we agreed!"

"His Royal Highness wants to mobilize nearly a million troops from the seven towns of Hebei, it will take a long time, where can it compare to Zhu Wen's earlier battle in the Central Plains, and the soldiers and horses have not yet returned to their towns to assemble quickly......? If we had waited another seven days, maybe the Pinglu army would have come, but now ......"

Xue Wei didn't continue, he had already said the consequences just now.

The civilians and generals behind him all looked pale, and finally understood that the disaster of destruction was inevitable, which made them lose their souls and almost collapse to the ground.

Just like Liu Biao heard that Cao Cao's army was coming, he died within two days of being ill - that may have been scared to death.

But at this moment, a voice full of ridicule sounded: "How about now? Does Xue Shuai feel that everything is going to be finished now? Don't panic, now the Pinglu army has come." ”

"Who?"

When the civilian, military officials and generals heard this clear voice, they were all shocked.

The sound was close to their ears, indicating that the other party was very close to them, but they had not noticed it before.

To what extent has this person cultivated?

If the other party is a great monk sent by Zhu Wen, if he wants to assassinate Xue Wei, wouldn't it be easy?

Unlike the panicked officials, Xue Wei's heart trembled when he heard this voice, and he almost cried with joy, he hurriedly looked left and right: "His Royal Highness King An, His Royal Highness King An...... Your Highness, are you here?!"

He didn't see anyone in the tower, so he hurriedly leaned in front of the window and looked out, and was immediately dumbfounded.

The sky was darkened by dark clouds, and it was speeding through.

It wasn't a dark cloud, it was a great monk flying by!

To have such a big battle, to say the least, there must be more than two or three thousand masters in the real human realm!

And beside these great monks flying by, a young man in a black robe with a dashing bearing and a handsome spirit was floating in the air in front of the city tower, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at him with a playful gaze.

"Meet His Royal Highness King An!" Xue Wei was like a dying man grasping a life-saving straw, trembling with excitement, and hurriedly bowed.

The civilian and military generals behind him were shocked by the monk group flying through the air, it was so powerful and rare.

At this moment, in their eyes, King An floating outside the window was like a god, which made them lose their minds for a while. It wasn't until he heard Xue Wei's voice that he reacted, and he hurriedly bowed down, "Meet His Royal Highness King An!"

"Get up, Xue Wei came out to speak. Li Ye smiled.

Xue Wei was also a True Human Realm cultivator, and when he heard this, he hurriedly got up and flew out of the city tower to Li Ye.

His face turned red with excitement, "Your Highness, why did you come here so soon?"

Li Ye chuckled: "The Lonely King doesn't want to collect the corpse for you, of course he can only come over earlier." ”

In fact, Li Ye's scouts had already been sent to the direction of Bianzhou, and his scouts were in the realm of immortals, and the military information that could be detected was much more detailed and in-depth than Xue Wei's scouts, so he could come in time.

As soon as he saw Li Ye, Xue Wei had already regained his confidence, and at this moment, he couldn't help laughing out loud when he was infected by the smile of the other party's Zhizhu, as if he had unloaded the 10,000-pound boulder on his shoulder, and said with ease: "With His Royal Highness here, Zhu Wen won't want to fight Yunzhou!"

Speaking of this, Xue Wei suddenly hesitated and glanced at Li Ye tentatively.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it, you don't have to hide it. Li Ye didn't put on a show.

Xue Wei was embarrassed to disturb his head, and then said with a straight face: "Your Highness, the lower official has just received an emergency military report, and the 50,000 foot cavalry of the Xuanwu Army has reached the point of injustice!"

The meaning of his words is obvious, Li Ye came with the monk regiment, and Yunzhou was naturally able to hold out until the Pinglu reinforcements arrived, but the grievances on the front line and Caozhou may not be able to be saved.

After all, Zhu Wen also has a lot of great monks, and he has three thousand eight Dao soldiers - this is still the first two batches of Nether Dao soldiers, and no one knows if the third batch of Dao soldiers is now in the Nether Realm.

Therefore, when the strength of the monks is roughly equal, the decisive victory on the battlefield still depends on the infantry army.

Li Ye glanced at Xue Wei and said indifferently: "General Shangguan personally led the wolf tooth and rode with 20,000 steps, and he has already rushed to Caozhou first. Now, do you still think Caozhou's injustices will be lost?"

Xue Wei was overjoyed, and immediately slapped his thigh, "With General Shangguan here, the injustice is solid! No, it's not that the injustice is solid, but the defeat of the vanguard of the Xuanwu Army is imminent!"
