Chapter 366: A Straw
The late autumn of the eleventh year of Da Chen Yuping.
The world is no longer that world.
Of course, if you are on the side of the Dachen royal family, the world is about to return to that world.
Because it's only been less than a year.
The Gu Family Army, which was once the biggest threat to Da Chen, is now nothing to fear.
So much has happened in the course of a year.
In the first two months, Gu Yue'an's departure did not seem to bring much change to the entire world pattern.
Emperor Chen Mock Feng did not do anything to the Gujia army, even because he wanted to occupy Yizhou, the Gujia army had to send half of its troops to station, which led to the shortage of troops in both Yongzhou and Yizhou, and Da Chen's army only stood still and did not make any moves across the line.
But as Gu Yue'an was away for longer and longer, changes still happened.
On the one hand, Da Chenjun's side has finally healed the wounds caused by the vampire demon rebellion, and on the other hand, Gu Yue'an has been away for too long.
The first step of the temptation began in the fourth month of Gu Yue'an's departure, Chen Weifeng did not use the sword soldiers, of course he would not use the sword soldiers, the sword soldiers were not his style, as a person who has always liked to salute first and then soldiers, he first sent a generous gift to the Gu family army.
Because of the acceptance of a large number of refugees from Yizhou, the Gu Jiajun, who was barely self-sufficient, has long been unable to make ends meet, and even if it reduces various expenses, it is already a little difficult to support.
At this time, Emperor Yuping sent a large amount of grain, which was undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow.
It's just that the condition is that trade is required.
Li Xiaoran is still a little tender in the end, even if he is assisted by the Seven Masters of the Ancient Mansion, he can't stop the offensive of Chen Xiaofeng, the old fox.
Or, you can't blame Li Xiaoran completely, the situation is like this, after suddenly losing Gu Yue'an, the pillar of reaching the sky, the Gu family army has no advantage over the Da Chen army.
In addition, the vampire demon has been completely extinct, and the biggest external force involving the Great Chen Army is gone.
Da Chen is the orthodoxy of the world, and it is really difficult for the Gu family army to do it.
Li Xiaoran has done well enough, and in the months since Gu Yue'an left, he has tried his best to carry out various new methods, trying to stabilize the situation, and waiting for Gu Yue'an's return.
As a result, it still doesn't work.
When Chen Weifeng proposed to give gifts and ask for trade, Li Xiaoran knew that it was a plan, and it was already difficult to resist the hungry people below, as well as the hearts of all kinds of businessmen who were eager to make money.
Eventually, the collapse began.
Trade means the flow of people, and no matter how strict the control is, it cannot withstand the change of people's minds, and all kinds of infiltration and fugitive incidents have emerged one after another.
Li Xiaoran was in a mess, not only the situation in Yizhou was out of control, but even Yongzhou, which was originally impregnable, was in an emergency.
In the end, when the hearts of the people in Yongyi and Yiyi were turned to Chen, Chen mocked the wind and just moved the army, and almost everyone fell in the wind.
Chen Weifeng almost did not waste a single soldier, and recaptured Yongzhou and Yizhou.
And Li Xiaoran, in the end, had to take less than 30,000 die-hard loyalists and fled to most of Jiaozhou, which was shrouded in fog, so that he barely kept the last fire of the Gu family army.
But the world has finally returned to the arms of Da Chen.
Except for most of Jiaozhou, which has been almost abandoned.
But this is harmless, and the recovery of Jiaozhou is a matter of time.
Because Jiaozhou is barren and surrounded by fog, although the people outside can't get in, the people inside can't get out, even if there is enough food hoarded inside, there will always be a day when everything is over.
At this time, there was only one thing left for Chen Weifeng to worry about, and that was Gu Yue'an.
Then, at the end of the autumn of this year, even Gu Yue'an's problem was solved.
Gu Yue'an, she won't come back.
This news has spread all over the world, even the most remote Jiaozhou, has also gotten the news.
In Jiaozhou, most places have completely lost their vitality because of the invasion of vampire demons and the effect of the fog formed by the condensation of people's souls, and they are no longer suitable for human survival.
The last spark of the Gu Jiajun is hidden here.
After Li Xiaoran retreated to Guanhai City, he waited day and night for news from Gu Yuean.
At this point, only when Gu Yue'an returns can the situation be completely reversed.
If Gu Yue'an can't come back, then everything will be over.
So when the spies passed the news of Cangping Port back as soon as possible and sent it to Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran was stunned.
At that time, Li Xiaoran was standing on the sea viewing platform and watching the sea, which was where Gu Yuean once stood.
What's more, she hopes that one day, she can see Gu Yue'an returning on the distant sea, and she can see it for the first time.
However, it was here that she heard someone tell her that Gu Yuean would never come back.
"Do you know that if I throw you down from here, you'll never get up again. Li Xiaoran said word by word to the person who came to report the letter.
"So, you'd better rethink what to say. ”
The person who came to report the news was obviously stunned, and finally paused, or said: "The latest news, Chen Xiaoju has returned to the shore, and the Lord is ...... Didn't come back, supposedly, has been ......"
He couldn't go on with what he said later, because the sharp sword intent had already shot out from Li Xiaoran's body, forcing him to take a step back, and behind him was the vast sea.
"My brother, it's impossible to die. Li Xiaoran said a word, still calm, but his expression was already sharp to the extreme.
"Yes......" The one who reported the news also panicked.
"I'll say it again, my brother, no, dead. Li Xiaoran's eyes finally turned red.
"Pray that the young lord will calm his anger. At last the man fell to his knees, and his whole body trembled.
"Young master. At this time, someone spoke, but it was Xu Che who walked over from behind step by step.
"Let's go down. She said to the informant, who had been frightened.
The messenger was pardoned, and he crawled away.
"Young master, maybe it's just the other party's trick to confuse the enemy, and I also believe that the master can't die like that. Xu Che continued.
Li Xiaoran stopped talking.
After a long time, she sighed and said, "Actually...... These days, I am always restless, I always feel that something is going to happen, and it is wrong for me to be angry with my subordinates, and Uncle Xu will send him some food for me later, which can be regarded as an apology. ”
"I'll go see Sister Gu. After speaking, Li Xiaoran turned around and left.
And Xu Che looked at the ebb and flow of the sea, silent.
