Chapter 20 Falling Clouds

When Yun Feiyu was in the Blue City as the battalion officer of the city gate guard, and lived a sweet little life with Chu Rou, the situation in the north was silently changing!

The head of the Kuer tribe is thirty years old, known as a great ambition, since he succeeded to the throne, reused the Central Plains Duan Fang Mu, relying on the Ku Er tribe 70,000 elite soldiers to start, at the beginning of the pursuit of the Duan Fang Mu proposed the strategy of distant and close attack, and constantly encroach on the surrounding tribes, with the continuous expansion of the power of the Kuer tribe, the Ku Er tribe has become the strongest emerging force on the grassland, and the old three major clans on the grassland, Tiele, Nu Lin, In order to expand their own power, the three major clans also began to encroach on the surrounding small clans and tribes, echoing with the Helan clan in the far northwest to deal with the rise of the Huer tribe, so the grassland continued to fight all day long, and the large and small tribes were not at peace, and at this time, the horse thieves who had been extinct on the grassland for a long time suddenly appeared, and the horse thieves burned and looted everywhere on the grassland, doing all kinds of evil!

Respect for force on the grassland, respect for the strong, Heavenly Master Zhe Rui as the current master, has a supreme position on the grassland, seeing the civil strife in the grassland, the various ethnic groups continue to invade each other, Heavenly Master Zhe Ruishe went to many years of retreat, personally came forward, for the three clans and the Kuer tribe to mediate, let the four clans unite to exterminate the grassland of the large number of horse thieves, and in the joint bandit battle, the Kuer tribe found out that the three major clans in recent years have secretly received a lot of support from the west wind, Ku Er was furious, in the name of suppressing bandits, sent 50,000 troops to block the passage between the west wind and the grassland, Gale City Yunluo also knew that this was the Kuer tribe intended to cut off the connection between the west wind and the three major clans, but there were 50,000 fine horsemen in the hundred miles outside the city, the west wind did not dare to act rashly, so he had to guard the city of Gale Wind.

At the secret meeting, Ku Erlie asked the strategist Duan Fang Mu to explain to the three major clans that the West Wind was only supplying food and iron to the three major clans, but it was actually killing people with a knife, and the grassland was fighting endlessly, and what was consumed was only the overall strength of the grassland! The Kuer tribe demanded that the three major clans stop secretly interacting with the west wind, and that the four clans re-plan their ruling forces without borrowing external forces.

The three major clans naturally also know that the west wind will not fund the enemy for a hundred years for no reason, but the Kuer clan is too strong, and now the strength can almost dominate the grassland, in order to preserve the independence of their clan from enslavement, the three major clans have to unite with the west wind to resist the Kuer clan, and now the Kuer clan has made such a request, the three major clans naturally do not agree, and the Heavenly Master Zherui also participated in the secret meeting, seeing that the four clans could not reach an agreement, the Heavenly Master Zherui suggested to speak:" Compared with the Central Plains, the whole grassland is just a barren and narrow land, and the four tribes might as well work together to go south and take the west wind, and then divide the west wind into four parts, wouldn't it be better?"

Although the early intention to invade the Central Plains, but for many years, the forces on the grassland can not be twisted into a unit, even if the big clan tribes send troops to invade the south, they must stay behind a large number of troops, in case the rear foundation is invaded by other tribes, although the grassland is not unified now, the big forces are only four tribes, if the four tribes join forces, but there is no worries, under the urging of the heavenly master Ochre, the four clans agreed to jointly send troops to invade the south, and at this time, Yunluo in Gale City did not know anything about the secret discussions on the grassland!

In March 570, 50,000 Kuer elite horsemen outside Gale City suddenly retreated, opening the passage between the west wind and the grassland, and the Tiele clan sent an envoy into the west wind Kyoto, asking to see the west wind emperor Zhu Long, the Tiele envoy howled and cried in the court, and said that the Kuer tribe has been fierce and domineering in recent years, and has continuously sent troops to occupy the territory and pastures of the three major tribes, plundering the livestock and population of the three tribes, Tiele and Nulin, and hundreds of thousands of people of the three tribes have been forced into a desperate situation, and the three tribes intend to surrender to the west wind, please send troops to enter the Kuer grassland, and the three tribes will fight the Kuer tribe!

The main reason is that the great threat of the grassland in the north is that the grassland is in turmoil, how can the west wind not take advantage of the opportunity!

Zhu Long said to comfort the envoy of Tiele, saying that if the three tribes really return to the west wind, then the three tribes are all the people of the west wind, and the west wind will naturally send troops to protect each other, and wait until the messenger retreats, and the excitement of the ministers is not the same, Zhu Long's face is serious, Zhu Long has doubts in his heart, he doesn't know what the grassland is really about, and he ordered the army to continue to submit the grassland exploration report, and soon the grassland spies reported that the three tribes alliance army and the Kuer tribe were defeated in the battle, and the three tribes contracted their defense, and almost one-third of the territory of the three tribes was lost!

Putting aside his doubts, Zhu Long was overjoyed, and ordered the elite soldiers in the north of the west wind to assemble in Gale City, ordered Yunluo to be the commander, led 100,000 troops into the Kuer grassland, advanced to the northwest of the grassland, and attacked the Kuer tribe with Tiele, Nulin, and the three clans!

With 100,000 elite soldiers, Yunluo was cautious all the way, constantly sending horses and rangers, but the news was that the three tribes were defeated, the situation was precarious, in order to avoid the defeat of the three tribes by the Kuer tribe, Yunluo led 100,000 elite soldiers to hurry for two days and nights, on March 10, 570, Yunluo 100,000 troops arrived at the Luoyun Lake on the Huer grassland, and took the map, Yunluo knew that the big lake next to it was called Luoyun Lake, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong there"You have to be cautious about long-distance marches", and ignore the envoys of the three tribes.

But in the middle of the night on March 10, in the southeast of Luoyun Lake, ten miles behind the Yunluo army, 50,000 elite cavalry of the Kuer tribe suddenly appeared, and in the north of Luoyun Lake, 100,000 elite cavalry of the three clans attacked the Xifeng military camp at the same time!

In the battle of Luoyun Lake, the Yunluo army was attacked late at night, and it was the enemy on the back of the abdomen, the 100,000 army was scattered by the grassland elite cavalry, and was slaughtered overnight, Yunluo only gathered 10,000 remnants, and formed a formation with his back against Luoyun Lake, and when he saw the banner of the three clans in the morning, Yunluo knew that the west wind was fooled! The three clans actually united with the Kuer tribe to design the west wind, looking at the 10,000 remnants of the soldiers around him, Yunluo looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking of Wen Lanxiu in Beijing, as well as Yun Feiyu who was far away in the Blue City, and his daughter-in-law Chu Rou, since Yun Feiyu got married, Yunluo has been guarding Gale City for more than three years.

Hu Yilie had long heard of the prestige of Xifeng Fengluo, and intended to recruit Yunluo, and sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender in front of the battle.

Although the 10,000 Zephyr troops were tired and untidy, they pulled their necks and shouted in unison: "No!" The shouts of the 10,000 bloody men were deafening and resounded in the sky!

With a wave of his hand, the steppe cavalry shouted in unison, holding a scimitar in his hand, galloping towards the Zephyr army, and the two sides began to fight each other in flesh and blood! Yunluo led 10,000 remnants of the Zephyr army from dawn to sunset, and none of the 10,000 surrendered and all of them were killed! Yunluo was deeply encircled, carrying dozens of knives, and died of exhaustion!

On the evening of March 11, a big meteor crossed the northwest sky, Wen Lanxiu, who was in Kyoto, couldn't sleep at night, saw the meteor, couldn't help but put his palms together and made a wish, and said silently in his heart: "I hope that my husband will fall into the clouds, my son Feiyu, my daughter-in-law Chu Rou will be safe and sound, and the family can be reunited as soon as possible!"

At the same moment, Yun Feiyu of the West Wind Blue City took Chu Rou to admire the stars in the small courtyard, and when she saw the meteor, Chu Rou said happily: "Look at the meteor! Make a wish!" Yun Feiyu smiled faintly, learning Chu Rou's palms together, closing his eyes and making a wish on the meteor, Chu Rou finished making a wish, opened his pretty eyes, and asked softly: "What wish did you make?"

Yun Feiyu grinned, and whispered in Chu Rou's ear: "I, I hope my mother will hug her grandson soon!" This sentence made Chu Rou's face red, and she couldn't help but clench her fists and beat Yun Feiyu again and again, but her fists became weaker and weaker, and finally Yun Feiyu smiled and took her arms, thinking that one day in the future she would have children, Chu Rou couldn't help but be ashamed, and her heart was pounding!

On the morning of 12 March, the Xifeng Heavenly Supervisor reported to Zhu Long: "There is a falling star in the northwest, and it seems to be an ominous omen!" Zhu Long was suspicious in his heart, worried about Yunluo's army, and ordered people to pay attention to the military situation in the north at all times, and three days later, the military report came, Yunluo's 100,000 troops were attacked at Luoyun Lake, the whole army was annihilated, and the handsome Yunluo was killed in battle! The allied army of the four tribes of the grassland, led by Ku Erlie, took advantage of the situation to storm Gale City, and a total of 250,000 elite horsemen in the grassland had invaded the border of the west wind!

After listening to the military report, Zhu Long raised his head and shouted: "Yun Qing, I have harmed you!" Then he opened his mouth to spurt blood, and fainted in the dragon case! The ministers of the West Wind Dynasty were even more frightened, and they didn't know what was wrong!

When the news of Yunluo's death reached Yunfu, Wen Lanxiu fainted on the spot, and there was a cry in the mansion, and Yunfu was shrouded in a gloomy mist for a while!

The battle of Luoyun Lake, the west wind lost 1 elite soldier 100,000, the city of Gale was also taken by Hu Erlie to take advantage of the situation, the west wind emperor Zhu Long vomited blood and fell into a coma after getting the military report, and then fell ill, the political affairs of the court were handled by the crown prince Zhu Gan, Zhu Qian is the eldest son of the concubine Mei Fei, that is, the brother of Zhu Xing, the ninth emperor son, different from Zhu Xing's straw bag, Zhu Qian has been well-behaved and smart since childhood, and he has been a famous teacher, both civil and military, and is deeply loved by Zhu Long.

Late at night, the palace of providence called Zhu Qian to the bed, Zhu Long coughed and confessed: "Qian'er, all the tribes in the grassland are untrustworthy and cunning, this invasion of the west wind has been premeditated for a long time, if the west wind is invincible, you can turn to Zhou and Zongyuan, if not, you will cut Lancheng, Gancheng, and Ningcheng to Zhouguo, Jingcheng, Cangcheng, Huaicheng was ceded to Zongyuan, as long as the west wind is not extinguished, the loss of some land is nothing, the generals in the DPRK and the central government only have the Yun family can be reused, but unfortunately Yun Luo died, Yun Feiyu is still young, and his prestige is not enough to command the three armies, all the armies in the south will go north to resist the grassland coalition army, Zhu Lian can be the commander, as for the government affairs of the DPRK and China, you can ask Chu Tianxing if you don't know what to do, Qian'er, there is only so much I can think of for you, the defeat of Luoyun Lake is really caused by my greed, I will take the blame in this Heavenly Palace to recuperate in the future, from today on, you are the lord of the West Wind country!"

On March 20, the west wind in Beijing spread the edict to the world, the old emperor Zhu Long was seriously ill, the Zen prince Zhu Qian, the new emperor was called Shengwu. Then Emperor Shengwu Zhu Gan issued an edict and ordered Zhu Lian, the king of Chang, to be the commander, reorganize the southern armies, and wave his army north to resist the grassland coalition army!

Also on the same day, Yun Feiyu of the Blue City knew the news of his father Yunluo's death, it turned out that the Shengwu Emperor Zhu Gan in order to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, and did not spread the defeat of Luoyun Lake to the country, it was Yunfu housekeeper Yun An who hurried for days, from Kyoto to the Blue City to report the funeral, when Yun Feiyu was standing on the wall of the Blue City and looked at the river, Yun An came to the city wall under the leadership of Liang Wu, saw Yun Feiyu, Yun An cried and worshiped on the ground, "Young Master, the master died in the battle and fell to the Cloud Lake!"

Yun Feiyu didn't seem to believe it, and shouted angrily: "What did you say! Say it again!" Yun An cried and led Yun Luo out of the pass, and told the story of the defeat and death in Luoyun Lake, Yun Feiyu listened, only to feel that the five were burning, and a sense of indignation and sadness in his chest was difficult to suppress, he screamed, opened his mouth and vomited blood, his body shook, and he fell backwards on his back, if it weren't for Liang Wu's fast hands, Yun Feiyu would have fallen from the city wall!
