Chapter Seventy-Two: Drunk and Lying on the Knee of a Beauty, Awakening to Hold the Power of the World (I)

Yangzhou City has indeed been peaceful for too long, but it does not mean that the army and people of this city have lost their blood! In the past, Yangzhou could not afford to fight, because there was no enemy army coming, Wei Xiaobao, the city lord, was well governed, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but now, the ferocious enemy army is coming, Wu Sangui's 100,000 army, these enemies, want to destroy their own good life, want to occupy this Yangzhou City?

At this point, neither ordinary people nor the soldiers defending the city can bear it, no, we must not let this group of villains destroy their good life, and they must not be allowed to destroy Yangzhou City!

The war began, and for a time, thick smoke billowed from outside the city, and killing was everywhere on the city walls. Wu Sangui, who was standing in the distance and commanding, quickly frowned, his face was ugly, but he saw that above Yangzhou City, the army was neat and orderly, and there was no panic with the outnumbered enemy, and in addition to the soldiers defending the city, hundreds of people spontaneously climbed the city wall, with the hideousness and ferocity in their expressions, to participate in the battle!

"How can this be reasonable? How did Wei Xiaobao do this, Yangzhou is up and down, and the army and the people are united. Wu Sangui's face was ugly, seeing countless arrows raining down, Shenwu cannons roaring, and as the besieging party, he suffered heavy casualties, and he couldn't help but look extremely gloomy, and his brows were furrowed.

"Lord Wang, I can't imagine that the people of Yangzhou have such blood, if you want to capture this city, it is difficult. Moreover, the subordinates have received the report of the horse visit, Wei Xiaobao sent a large army to attack the Geldan tribe, which has won a big victory, and is returning from the class, if they arrive, the two sides in the city will attack, our army will be tight, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of bad things. Wu Sangui was on the side, and a general said.

"How much time do they have to come back?" Wu Sangui's face suddenly sank.

"A month at most, and maybe sooner. The general's expression was solemn, and he immediately spoke.

Wu Sangui frowned slightly, and then his eyes showed ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry, this king has 100,000 elite soldiers, but Yangzhou City only has more than 20,000, even if there are dozens of Shenwu cannons, what can it do? I don't believe it, his cannonballs are endless, no matter the cost, within a month, Yangzhou City will be broken and Wei Xiaobao will be captured alive, hum!" Wu Sangui ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord, the last general will obey. The generals of the Quartet replied with heavy faces.

Of course, they understand what kind of loss it means to capture Yangzhou City at any cost!

"Knock knock. "The sound of war drums is melodious, and the offensive and defensive battles are still ongoing.

Arrows rained down, blood flowed like a river under the city, bursts of screams sounded, it was like hell on earth, at this moment, in the face of the menacing 100,000 troops outside the city, the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou had no fear and did not retreat. The people and soldiers only knew that this group of enemy soldiers was the enemy, the people who destroyed stability and a good life, and they were not only not afraid, but also brewed monstrous hatred in their hearts.

Because you came to attack the city, my brother died on the battlefield, because you attacked the city, the drums of war sounded, my children couldn't sleep, because of your killing, our homeland was full of blood, because of you, all of this, because of you, the enemy army in Yunnan.

For a time, the people and soldiers were extremely hateful to the enemy, desperately resisting.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and there are enemy troops attacking the city every day, more and more soldiers, stained the city wall with blood, with their own blood, guarding their homeland, although they die, but they have no regrets!

Outside Yangzhou City, the sound of artillery fire, smoke and dust billowing into the sky, mixed with the screams of the soldiers, Wu Sangui's face was extremely ugly, wearing armor, standing in the protection of the army, his eyes were gloomy.

"Lord Wang, those who defend the city, so fierce, the last generals feel that we are not facing 20,000 soldiers, but directly against Yangzhou City, hundreds of thousands of people, and their Shenwu cannon shells, as if it is really endless, plus enough food and grass, this Yangzhou City is simply like an iron bucket, how can it be broken? And, Lord Wang, the army attacking Geldan in the rear, as if getting the news, is speeding up, it is estimated that it will take less than five days, you can feel that we will be more passive at that time. A general looked at Wu Sangui with a gloomy face.

"How much food and grass do we have in our army?" Wu Sangui's face was ugly, and he immediately asked.

"About three or four days' worth of food and grass!" said the general, with a worried face.

Wu Sangui frowned, and ordered: "Within three days, attack the city with all your might, if you can't capture it, temporarily withdraw your troops, camp thirty miles away, wait for follow-up grain and grass and reinforcements, and avoid the edge of Yangzhou's reinforcements!"

"Yes, Lord Wang!" the many generals looked solemn, and immediately spoke, saying in a deep voice.

After another hour of offensive and defensive battles, the fighting stopped temporarily, Wu Sangui's army did not break through the city gate, even if a few soldiers climbed the city wall with the help of the ladder to rush to the city, but they were also killed by the soldiers and civilians defending the city in a blink of an eye. All in all, Wu Sangui has suffered heavy losses here.

In the city lord's mansion, Wei Xiaobao was sitting in danger, Shuang'er stood aside, and below were a group of officials and generals, all of whom had heavy faces, but looking at Wei Xiaobao here, they showed awe, and suddenly a general got up with a serious expression and said: "Qiqi City Lord, Zhou Peigong's army still needs five days before the class can return to the city, we only need to hold on for five days, and there will be reinforcements." ”

"Wrong, it's not that there are reinforcements, but it's about to start a counteroffensive!" Wei Xiaobao sneered.

"Oh, my lord, but there are a lot of Wu Sangui's army?" the generals were a little worried.

"Don't forget, under the name of the city lord, not only Yangzhou, Zhou Peigong and Li Guangdi, led the army to send troops, all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, directly pointed at the forces of Geldan and the living Buddha of Tibet, and captured a lot of state capital cities, in fact, these cities have long been under the jurisdiction of my Yangzhou City. But they were afraid that Wu Sangui's army was menacing, and the city lord was afraid of burning himself, so he didn't dare to send troops to help easily, but the people and soldiers couldn't help it. Now that we have held on for so long, Wu Sangui has suffered heavy losses, and Zhou Peigong's army is about to return, and the military orders of the city lords, they will no longer dare to disobey, don't worry, I have already sent a message to the city lords of the cities to raise troops to besiege Wu Sangui!" Wei Xiaobao looked at the civil and military officials present, smiled slightly, and looked calm and calm.

"Haha, the city lord is wise, and his subordinates swear to serve him to the death!" all the officials shouted.

Then they discussed again, how to deal with the enemy army? Wei Xiaobao ordered everyone to retreat, and then he, accompanied by Shuang'er, practiced martial arts in the practice ground for a while, and then went to eat again. Time is like a melancholy, the days pass so quickly, three days pass in a flash, there is no doubt that Wu Sangui's army still did not break through Yangzhou City, he was very helpless, so he had to retreat.

Wu Sangui originally planned to retreat thirty miles and camp, waiting for reinforcements and grain and grass, and then plotting to capture Yangzhou, but the army had just left Yangzhou City for twenty miles, and suddenly the war drums were melodious, and the flags were waved in front.

"It's not good, there is an ambush, the whole army meets the enemy, brothers, kill with me. Wu Sangui's face changed wildly, and he roared violently, and the army behind him did not expect that there was an enemy ambush, and he panicked for a while.

And at this time, the rear suddenly war drums sounded, but it was the Yangzhou defenders, out of the city gate, bombardment and killing, suddenly the war began, a battle for two days and two nights, Wu Sangui was indeed powerful, the command was well-organized, and he was about to lead the army out of the encirclement, but at this time, Zhou Peigong's army arrived, and immediately fought again, the two armies fought against each other for life and death, and the battlefield was full of blood, and there were countless casualties.

"General, only Wu Sangui led a small number of elite soldiers, fought out of the encirclement, and was fleeing towards Yunnan, and the last general had already sent someone to chase after him. "A general, next to Zhou Peigong, reported to him.

"Hmph! The remnants of the army are defeated, and they can't go back to Yunnan, so hurry up and chase them!" Zhou Peigong said in a deep voice.

The generals and soldiers agreed with a bang, some soldiers and horses pursued them, and the rest cleaned up the battlefield, treated the wounded, and under the leadership of Zhou Peigong, continued to return in the direction of Yangzhou City.

Wei Xiaobao's Yangzhou City here, has achieved a never-before-seen victory, this news, spread far and wide, all the forces in the world are shocked, everyone is impressed by Wei Xiaobao, and the people of the Central Plains are yearning for Yangzhou City. They had heard that Yangzhou City was comfortable, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were very envious, and now the victory in the war undoubtedly proved that Yangzhou City here has the qualifications to keep this comfort, and for a time, hundreds of people moved.

In this way, Yangzhou City is becoming more and more prosperous, and Wei Xiaobao is here, and the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness is naturally rising, and it is rapidly increasing.

In this way, more than ten days passed in a flash, on this day, suddenly there was a servant to report, there was a way to ask to see outside the door, Wei Xiaobao's expression moved, and immediately ordered his subordinates to invite in, in the living room of the city lord's mansion, Wei Xiaobao saw a method, since Lu Dingshan said, he saw a method for the first time, neither of them mentioned the unpleasantness of the past, carefully looked at each other, and suddenly Wei Xiaobao's pupils shrank slightly, but he found that the martial arts of a method were stronger.

"Hey, what's going on with this Wei Xiaobao? Could it be that with divine help, my growth is fast enough, but compared to him, it is still like a cloud and mud, this is not just a matter of qi!" Compared to Wei Xiaobao, Yifa Zi was also shocked, looking at Wei Xiaobao here at this moment, feeling that strong and incomparably strong sense of oppression, Yifa Zi's heart rose like a roar.

"One way, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know what to learn here. Wei Xiaobao was the first to come back to his senses, sat down quietly, took a sip of tea, looked at Yifa and asked.

"Brother Wei, you should understand, I am a disciple of the Legalists, I wrote books and said, practice the way of Legalism to govern the country, today you and I meet, I came to Yangzhou, just to take refuge in you. On the Luding Mountain that day, I was humiliated by Chen Taiji, although my skills were not as good as others, but I was ashamed of my life, and I swore not to avenge this and swear not to be a person. But Chen Taiji has a country of momentum to help, such as today's three-legged stand, the Qing court has strong military strength and national strength, but there is no master in charge, if you want to deal with Chen Taiji, you must borrow your momentum and strength, so, today I have a way, to take refuge in you. Looking at Wei Xiaobao here, his face was extremely serious, and he spoke solemnly, extremely sincere.

At the same time, in his heart, he was thinking: "This Wei Xiaobao is strong, I will temporarily join his command, govern the major cities in Yangzhou, implement the rule of law, and implement law changes.

And before my strength grows up, it is enough for Wei Xiaobao to stand up to Chen Taiji, Chen Taiji, you dare to humiliate me, wait, I will settle accounts with you soon, hum. As for Wei Xiaobao, even with my help, what can the major cities do if they become stronger and stronger?

No matter how strong his strength is, he is a person in the Luding realm after all, and he has no understanding of the law of establishing a country in the land of Kyushu, the way of the emperor who undertakes the number of qi and rules over all the people and hundreds of officials, and has no way to learn.

Even if he finally dominates the Luding Realm and ascends to the Great Treasure, it is just a mortal realm. At that time, the Luding Realm will either be destroyed, or it will be completely integrated into the land of Kyushu, in short, this Wei Xiaobao has offended too many people, and he will die sooner or later, I must withdraw after solving Chen Taiji. ”

A method silently calculated in his heart, but he didn't know that Wei Xiaobao was not without the way of the emperor, the method of establishing a country to undertake the number of qi, and the method of inheriting the number of qi here was not ordinary, it was more powerful than Chen Taiji's method, from the purple heart fire of "Casting Heavenly Court", Wei Xiaobao was here to dominate the world, and the original goal was not just a mortal country.

"Hmph, I want to use my momentum to deal with Chen Taiji, and then withdraw, hehe, one way, one way, how can things in this world be so easy?" Wei Xiaobao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, but looked at the method, and solemnly asked: "One way, you come to take refuge, I don't know what the big strategy is, can strengthen me Yangzhou City?"

"Brother Wei, this is the key to my change, you can take a look. Yifa said.

He groped in his arms for a while, and finally took out a thin book and handed it to Wei Xiaobao, his expression was solemn, as if this book was the condensation of his life's work.

"Oh! wait for me to see~~~. Wei Xiaobao's pupils shrank, and he took the book and opened it, and soon his expression became solemn, and it didn't take long to look at a method, and said solemnly: "A method is really a talent, with your help, my Yangzhou City is like a tiger with wings, he is a golden iron horse, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, take it like a bag to take things~~~, you just let it go."

Don't worry about anything else, I'm here to do my best to gather strength for the change!"

Wei Xiaobao has never broken these days, the study of the way of governing the country, the four books and the five classics, and the digestion of the chess way in his mind, so that at this moment, Wei Xiaobao is like a great increase in wisdom, and he immediately saw the essence of this change of the law.

He directly judged that this was the right way to govern the country, and now that he had a way to vote, he would naturally not let the other party go. So without hesitation, he nodded directly and agreed, and ordered him to change the law.
