Chapter 62: The Divine Decree
In the polar purgatory, it took Luo Cheng half a day to reunite with his parents, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune, and another half a year passed on the land of Shenzhou, and during this half a year, the turbulent undercurrent finally broke through the obstacles and brought the disaster to the world.

On the Yanzhou side, the war between the Chen family and the Yang family is in full swing, this is a turf battle that cannot be lost, the losing side will be swept into the dust of history forever, so both sides have invested all their belongings, Luojing's siege war is quite cruel, Chen Zhiyuan has lasted for half a year with his own means, and now the surplus food in the city has been exhausted, snakes, insects, rats and ants have become a delicacy for the soldiers, and more people eat the bark directly, gnaw the roots, there are countless dead bodies in the city every day to clean up, fortunately, the weather is relatively cold, and there will be no plague, but unfortunately food is still a fatal problem, and now Chen Zhiyuan has secretly regretted it, should not have lent food to each other in the first place.
And Yang Lian outside the city is not much better, his army has nearly doubled, plus the early attack on the city, the consumption of military food is even greater, now although Yang Zhe has transported some of the food snatched from the people, but it is still a drop in the bucket, and now both sides are fighting to the limit, some are only supported by the will of the main generals on both sides, and no one can guarantee that they will continue to fight tomorrow.
However, there are always some advantages on the defending side, after all, there is a strong city as a barrier, under the strong lethality, Yang Lian's army has suffered extremely heavy casualties, but Luojing has to be taken down as the capital, otherwise if it goes on like this, Yanzhou will inevitably be coveted by other forces, which is also due to the consideration of the pattern of Shenzhou, and Yang Zhe has been in Songfeng Mountain in a hurry and can't stay, and he sent 3,000 people to help, intending to take Luojing in one fell swoop.
In the past six months, Yang Xuerao has lived in a simple place in Bailing City, almost forgotten by the world, and the main eyes around her are focused on a corner of Luojing, and Yan Yan even sent someone to ask if she needed help, but Yang Lian decisively refused, if you rely on other forces to quell the rebellion in Yanzhou, it can be said that it is easy to ask God to send God, but Yanzhou is facing the embarrassment of being annexed by Huizhou, how can he take such a risk.
Yang Muchen, who was doing a good job in Huizhou, gave the support of grain, grass and armor, otherwise Yang Lian would have been unable to hold on, but when the border army gathered and wanted to go out of the camp to try to attack the city again, Ji Jingwen, who had not seen her for a long time, suddenly appeared at the gate of the camp with two entourages, and read out the holy decree in public: "Recently, the construction of the Water Spirit Pagoda has been completed, and I will recruit Yang Lian to return to Bailing City to celebrate, and the matter of recapturing Luojing will be put aside for the time being, Qin this!"
The holy decree was few words, but the wording was quite harsh, after Ji Jingwen read it, the scene was silent, and the eyes of all the soldiers suddenly focused on Yang Lian, only to see him smile slightly and said: "Lord Ji has worked hard, why don't you enter the camp and drink a glass of water and wine before making a decision?"
Ji Jingwen's face was as cold as ice, and she shouted coquettishly: "The Holy Purpose is this, does Lord Yang want to resist the decree?"
"This ......"
Yang Lian didn't know how to be flexible for a while, although he promised to help Yang Zhe take the position, but after capturing Luojing, he also used as peaceful means as possible to force Yang Xuerao to abdicate, and now that his name is undecided, how different is his blatant resistance to the decree and rebellion, which is inconsistent with his long-standing standards, maybe Yang Xuerao saw this in mind, so she dared to let Ji Jingwen take the risk to come, but unfortunately they still missed Yang Zhe.
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected!"
At this time, Yang Zhe came out in front of the crowd: "Lord Ji, farewell in Luojing City, it's been almost half a year now, Jingwen, your demeanor is still the same, and the palace is relieved, but Luojing can be captured in a blink of an eye, and now our army can't retreat, otherwise the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of soldiers will not be in vain, you can ask these soldiers if they agree!"
"Don't agree, don't say ......"
Ji Jingwen was about to ridicule each other, but she was drowned out by the sound of the soldiers, she raised her eyebrows in anger, and her jade hand also touched the hilt of the sword, and Yang Lian waved his hand to stop everyone's noise when he saw this, and stepped forward and said to the mud: "Why don't Lord Ji stay in the camp for a few days, then after the army captures Luojing, Yang and His Royal Highness will follow the adults back to Bailing City together, and they can also surprise Your Majesty, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"After taking Luojing?"
Ji Jingwen sneered: "I'm afraid that the two of you are going to show off your might in front of Your Majesty with a large army, right?
As soon as the words fell, she didn't pay attention to the two of them anymore, and left with a horse, Yang Zhe immediately stepped forward to chase after her with an innocent smile, after all, the current quarrel will shake the minds of the soldiers, and the morale will be very hit.
At this moment, a sudden change protruded, and an entourage following Ji Jingwen suddenly attacked, jumped reflexively and fell from the horse's back, and pounced directly at Yang Zhe with one claw.
Fortunately, Yang Zhe is now under the guidance of Yang Lian, and his martial arts have risen, and at the critical moment, he threw the folding fan in his hand as a hidden weapon, and at the same time took out a piece of black wood from his arms, and aimed it at the sneak attacker with the front end.
And Yang Lian, who was a few steps behind, reacted extremely quickly under his full attention, and the giant sword suddenly came out of the sheath, he did not choose to protect Yang Zhe, but went straight to the place where the sneak attacker's neck must be saved, and the strategy was quite clever.
'Huh!'
The sneak attacker seemed to be stunned for a moment, and directly smashed the folding fan with one claw, and at the same time turned over and leaned back, dodging hundreds of steel needles, and picking up a small life.
Yang Zhe escaped death, he was afraid of this sneak attacker for more than three points, he hurriedly flew back, and immediately hid in the crowd, seeing that His Royal Highness was fine, Yang Lian's anger rose spontaneously, and he competed with the other party for dozens of moves, and was secretly surprised in his heart, and at this time, the soldiers had already surrounded Ji Jingwen and others, and it seemed that it was difficult to be good today.
The sneak attacker suddenly shook Yang Lian away with a palm, and after flying back to the horse, he shouted: "Yang Lian boy, your kung fu is good, but in the eyes of the old body, you are not qualified enough, don't let these people get out of the way, the old body will go back!"
Yang Lian could tell from his voice that this sneak attacker was the former ancestor Wan Hongyao, if it wasn't for Yang Zhe's cunning just now, the life-killing shuttle on his body was also vicious, maybe he would lose all the games today, and now the old ancestor has given the steps, if he doesn't do it, it is very likely that he will end up fighting to the death, and Chen Zhiyuan in the city will laugh off his big teeth!
Thinking of this, Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Let them go!"
Looking at the distant figures of Ji Jingwen and the others, Yang Zhe came out to Yang Lian's side and said: "It seems that the martial arts of the old ancestor can't help but recover, and the skill is even better than before, otherwise how can you hide from the deadly shuttle at such a close distance, this time it is really dangerous, it seems that the aunt's hands are indeed stretched, this time even the old ancestor has been summoned, as long as I wait to capture Luojing, I am not afraid that my aunt will not give in! General Yang Lian, according to your estimates, how many days will our army be able to take Luojing?"
Yang Lian pulled the other party aside and whispered: "If the grain and grass are sufficient, and the soldiers use their lives, according to my estimates, it will take at least three days or so, you see that the corner fort on the right side of the city head has cracks, and these **** deliberately did not send people to attack here to give Chen Zhiyuan an illusion, now relying on the artillery that Mu Chen sent us, as long as the salvo is fired at the crack, maybe a large part of the city wall will be collapsed, anyway, the moat has been filled, our army can drive straight in, and Luojing City will be just around the corner." ”
"Good!"
Yang Zhe said excitedly when he heard this: "General Yang Lian is really the mainstay of Yanzhou, this time it all depends on the general!" (To be continued.) )
