Chapter 248: Wait and see
Three days have passed, and the Yanlong King of the Yunmeng clan has gathered all the soldiers and horses, and everything has been prepared.
Before leaving, in order to boost morale and enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the Yanlong King stood majestically on the platform of the generals, and said loudly to the soldiers under the stage: "Soldiers, this king has gathered everyone here today to save the future of Jiuli, and also to rescue our benefactor.
Today, our life-saving benefactor, His Royal Highness Chiyou, not only eradicated the evil demon dragon for our Yunmeng clan, but also earned a place for our Yunmeng clan to live and work in peace and contentment from the hands of the demon dragon, not only that, but His Royal Highness Chiyou in order to prevent everyone from being killed by hungry beasts. He ignored the law of Jiuli and brought food and grass to his family from Yinshan Pass, but it was for this act of benevolence and righteousness that the incompetent old man of Jiuli on the throne of Jiuli City wanted to put our benefactor to death. They said, "Shall we say yes?"
When all the soldiers in the audience heard this, they all raised their weapons in their hands with indignation and shouted loudly: "I don't agree... Disagree..."
The Yanlong King continued: "Since everyone is like me and is unwilling to be an ungrateful person, then okay, I will now lead everyone to Jiuli City, rescue our benefactor, and drive that mediocre and incompetent Jiuli old man from the throne, and help His Royal Highness Chiyou to the throne, are you willing?"
All the generals raised their weapons and shouted, "Kill Jiuli City... Kill to Jiuli City..."
The Yanlong King looked at the soldiers under the general's stage, his enthusiasm for fighting was high, he confidently rode on the war horse, and said heroically: "Okay, go, destination, Jiuli City." ”
Under the leadership of the Yanlong King, the Yunmeng army rushed to the front, and under the bright sunshine, this marching team was like a long snake and giant Jiao shuttling between the mountains and mountains, and it was extremely fierce and marched towards the border pass of Jiuli City.
As soon as the news of the Yunmeng clan sending troops to Jiuli City to rescue Chiyou came out, the Yao clan moved one after another, and the Hades and dozens of tribes, large and small, also sent troops to Lishan Pass.
The spies of Lishanguan hurriedly came to the camp of Lishanguan with a nervous expression, reported to the general of Zhenguan, Houqing, and said: "General, it's not good, dozens of tribes such as Yunmeng, Hades, and Yao have sent troops to Jiuli City together, and now hundreds of thousands of troops are coming to Lishanguan." ”
When Hou Qing heard this, he was shocked and said, "Is the information accurate?"
"It's true, it's what my subordinates have seen with their own eyes, and many forces, like a stormy nuclear wave, are rushing towards Lishan Pass. ”
"Do you know how many troops they have sent?"
"The subordinates don't know, I only see a piece of black oppression, a sea of people, countless, it seems to be pouring out of the nest, and the subordinates estimate that there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops. ”
"What is it that has touched the nerves of these tribes? It can make them unite like never before and attack my Lishan Pass with one heart?"
"What the subordinates heard on the way, they seemed to be coming for Chiyou, they heard that the king was going to execute Chiyou, so they united and rushed to the rescue, wanting to kill Jiuli City and save His Royal Highness Chiyou. ”
Hou Qing said: "I really didn't expect that Prince Chiyou would have such a great energy to make the major clans that have been fighting for a hundred years unite and fight for him, hey, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." ”
"General, what shall we do now?"
"The major tribes are pouring out, although we have the Li Mountain Pass to defend it, but this is not a long-term solution, and in the end we will lose the pass because we are outnumbered, so we have to plan for the worst.
I'll write a letter now, you quickly report back to the king, please make a decision, I rely on the natural barrier advantage of this Lishan Pass, I will definitely wait for your arrival, and you will go back quickly. ”
The 100 miles of Li Shan Pass was delivered to the hands of the Jiuli Ancestor in Jiuli City as scheduled, and the Jiuli Ancestor opened the 100 miles in his hand, not only did not show any surprise, nervousness, worry and eagerness, but seemed more calm, as if all this was in his expectations.
He summoned Yu Zhi, Elder Chifeng, Elder Mida and Elder Naran to the imperial study overnight, because Elder Haoran was not in the mansion, so he was absent from the future, Jiuli Ancestor knew that he must have gone for the matter of "Seven Evil Blood Refining Divine Skills", so he did not study it further.
When Yuzhi asked about Elder Haoran, Jiuli Ancestor said perfunctorily for him: "This king has something to arrange for him to do, and he will not participate in this matter today." ”
Jiuli Ancestor hurriedly handed the Baili envelope in his hand to Elder Chifeng's hand, and said, "You guys pass it on first, and naturally you know what this king is calling you urgently today?"
After several adults saw it, they were all shocked by this.
Yuzhi took the Baili in his hand and said disdainfully: "Hmph! A few weak tribes want to subvert the rule of my Jiuli City, but they are simply beyond their strength and delusional. ”
Hearing this, Elder Chifeng said, "Lord Yu, that is not just a few tribes, but dozens of tribes, an alliance army with hundreds of thousands of troops. ”
Elder Chifeng's words really poured cold water on the invincible foolishness, and he stood aside silently.
Elder Naran didn't forget to take the opportunity to make up for him again, wanting to take the opportunity to trample Yuzhi to death at his feet, and then insult him well.
"Foolish, I think you're old and confused, just a few tribes? Thanks to what you said, if all the people in Jiuli City are as invincible and arrogant as you, Jiuli City doesn't know how many times it has been destroyed, foolish adults, when you are old, you should know the difficulties and retreat, stop talking nonsense here and harming others and yourself. ”
Elder Naran's words, the foolishness of anger is the seven tricks of smoke, blowing his beard and glaring, and he can't speak, "You... You... You..."
Seeing this, Jiuli Ancestor said angrily: "Okay, every time you meet, you always quarrel like this, do you take me as a king in your eyes? ”
Several people saw that Jiuli Ancestor was furious, so they had to accept it when they saw it, and everyone quickly confessed to Jiuli Ancestor: "The ministers know their mistakes, please forgive the king." ”
"Remember, this king has not summoned you here to listen to your chatter and nonsense here, but now that the enemy is present, you do not think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but are in the mood to quarrel here, is this what you Jiuli ministers should do? ”
"Please calm the king's anger, the ministers know that they are wrong. ”
Jiuli Ancestor said: "In the face of the attack of these hundreds of thousands of foreign armies in front of us, what should we do now? In order to avoid this war, after all, once the war happens, I don't know how many lives will be miserable, how many people will suffer, and the best policy is to surrender the soldiers without a fight." ”
Elder Chifeng said: "It's not difficult to say that this matter is difficult, and it's not easy to say, it depends on whether the king can open the net?"
Jiuli Ancestor said: "Elder of the net, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush here." ”
Elder Chifeng said: "According to the urgent report, these dozens of tribes suddenly gathered their troops and jointly sent troops to Jiuli City, all because of the matter of His Royal Highness Chiyou, if the king is willing to open the net, pardon His Highness Chiyou's crimes, let him make meritorious contributions to the crime, and persuade these tribes to withdraw from the army, I think this should not be a difficult thing for His Highness Chiyou." ”
As soon as Yuzhi heard that he wanted to pardon Chi You, this was contrary to Mi Tu's wishes, if Jiuli Lao Zu really pardoned Chi You, then Mi Tu would not tear him up, he would never let this happen.
Yu Zhi hurriedly said: "King, at this time, you must not, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if the king does this, he is undoubtedly not supporting those who commit adultery, where is the dignity of Jiuli's law?"
Elder Naran said: "Helping countless hungry and cold people with grain and grass is called a traitor? I agree with Elder Chifeng's words, this matter is because of His Royal Highness Chiyou, as the so-called, the bell must be tied to the bell, if you want to calm this sword disaster, you have to be Your Royal Highness Chiyou, and please ask the king to save the people of the Nine Dawns from the suffering of war, and forgive the sins of His Royal Highness Chiyou. ”
Jiuli Ancestor avoided Elder Chifeng and Elder Naran's words, and he asked Mi Tuo, who was silent on the side, and said, "Mi Tuo, what do you think about this matter?"
In Mida's heart, of course, he hoped that the swords would rise everywhere, so that he would have an endless source of evil qi, which would be extremely helpful for him to cultivate the Seven Evil Spirits and practice the Blood Divine Skill, but he couldn't say it explicitly.
Mida said: "Of course, I hope that the king can pardon the guilt of His Royal Highness Chiyou, after all, Prince Chiyou is also for the people of the Yunmeng clan, so he has to use the military rations of Yinshan Pass, but now it seems that it is probably too late, because even if the king pardons the sins of Prince Chiyou, but Prince Chiyou is now highly poisoned, life and death are unpredictable, if Prince Chiyou dies, these tribes will still attack Jiuli City, because this is the knot between Jiuli City and them that will never be untied, and it will never die." ”
Jiuli Old Ancestor said: "You mean that the war between Jiuli City and their dozens of tribes is inevitable?"
Mida said: "Of course, it's good to be able to avoid it, but just in case, please ask the king to plan early, as the saying goes, it's good to be prepared." ”
Synthesizing the words of several people, Jiuli Ancestor said: "I want to know what to do, okay, you can go back." ”
Several people present wanted to know what Jiuli Ancestor's decision was, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only take this unknown question and return to the house to wait and see how the situation developed.
