Chapter Eighty-Seven: War

In the Xiguancheng Parliamentary Hall, Fang Yu had a general understanding of the current situation.

The new army has already approached Xiguan, and the army is camped fifty miles outside Xiguan.

In the past few days, he has launched several waves of attacks, but they have all been repelled by Nian Junbo. But what worries him is that the new army also has a steady stream of troops, and in the last few sieges, there were even other monks besides Chen Yan.

"Other cultivators?" Fang Yu wondered, "Could it be from the Taihua Immortal Sect?"

Nian Junbo hesitated for a while, "Your Highness the Divine Officer, I feel that nine times out of ten it is from the Taihua Immortal Sect, Chen Yan's fellow sect senior brother is helping her in the army, and even the elders of the sect may not be impossible, but in the several waves of siege so far, I have not seen them make a move, but I can still detect the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations." ”

"Oh. "Senior brothers and elders of the same sect, it seems that this Chen Yan has a very high status in his sect. Fang Yu sneered, this matter is getting more and more interesting, I didn't expect that it also involved the Taihua Immortal Sect, one of the five great immortal sects.

"Back to Your Highness, I didn't have time to know this Chen Yan in the military newspaper before, according to the news I have investigated in the past few days, she is not only an ordinary inner disciple, but also a personal disciple of the three elders of the Taihua Immortal Sect, according to this female eldest Mei Ruoxian, there are countless male monks in her sect, and it is even rumored that she and Xu Shiping, the young sect master of the Taihua Immortal Sect, are about to get engaged, and she is the wife of the young master of the inner sect. Nian Junbo was a little worried.

"The young sect master's wife?" "Good guy, Jing Zhiyao, the young sect master's wife of the Feiheng Immortal Sect, has just left, and there is another Taihua Immortal Sect's young sect master's wife, Chen Yan, it seems that these five immortal sects are not related to their fate, Fang Yu said in his heart.

"Let's go to the city wall together. Fang Yu said in a fixed voice, he wanted to see how powerful this new army was.

Fifty miles away from Xiguan, in the account of the new army camp, Chen Yan propped his hands on the sand table, looking at the towering Xiguan city wall on the sand table, frowning, last night she got the news, the coup d'Γ©tat from Beijing, the crown prince seized the throne, which didn't make her care much, but then the news came to make her worried, this time the coup was actually the rumored sword talisman fellow practitioner of the oracle chief priest, in the news, it was he who united several high-level monks to kill the king.

What surprised her even more was that the prince who had just ascended the throne actually sealed the town to guard Xiguan, blocked himself for several months, and gave her a headache that year, Uncle Jun was Dingxi Hou, and also named his brother Dingjing Hou, recruited soldiers and horses from various counties and counties, and gathered a large army, which was obviously for the new army.

The reason why Chen Yan dared to raise troops was to conclude that the king was incompetent and incompetent and didn't care about political affairs, but now he suddenly changed an emperor, and gathered a large army and rushed straight to Xiguan, which made her a little panicked, although the new army now has an advantage, but as long as she really wants to fight this battle with her heart, she is not sure whether she can win, after all, Xijun is such a large piece of land, so many people, and now the three million soldiers of the Xinli army are almost all the adult males in Xijun, but it is different when leaving the country, there are several counties that are far richer than Xijun, and the population is also several times that of Xijun, and the two are not comparable in size at all。

But this battle still has to be fought, remembering that his father was unjustly killed, and the villagers in Xijun were brutally slaughtered, Chen Yan clenched his hands, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Yan'er. A man with a lofty instrument stood behind Chen Yan and gently covered her hand, "Don't be too tired, I have already returned to my father and asked him to send another batch of supplies to support Xijun, presumably it will arrive in a few days, and the pressure on the army's grain and grass will also be relieved." ”

Xu Shiping looked at her with a worried face, he was also very angry when he learned that Chen Yan's father was killed, and he thought that he would come to Xijun to meet his future father-in-law in a few months, but he didn't think that he would die before he came to Xijun.

So after he learned the news, he immediately accompanied Chen Yan to Xijun, as soon as he entered Xijun, he saw two hungry people, unscrupulous killing and arson of the departing officers and soldiers, and when he arrived at Chen Yan's house, only the wreckage of the broken wall was left all over the ground, and finally learned that the Chen family was slaughtered by the officers and soldiers after Master Chen was killed, leaving only one of Chen Yan's younger brothers, Chen Qiguo.

It is conceivable that Chen Yan's anger and grief at that time, looking at the people of Xijun who were wantonly slaughtered, she began to accept the displaced people everywhere and form an arm, Xu Shiping also followed her side to protect, and finally after more than a month, the team became bigger and bigger, so the new army was established, and it swept the entire Xijun in less than a few months, and the people of Xijun joined one after another.

"Xiguan is really too dangerous to attack, we have been repulsed several times in the past few sieges, and you also know the news of leaving Beijing, I am afraid that in just a few days, there will be a large army to reinforce Xiguan, and then our pressure will be even greater, the only hope I have now is that the great priest will not interfere in the affairs of Xiguan." Chen Yan sighed.

"This oracle chief priest is very mysterious, just like to appear suddenly, in the news from the sect, he only knows that this priest's name is Fang Yu, and he appeared in Hengshan half a month ago, and he is a high-level monk who is a fellow practitioner of the sword rune. Xu Shiping said: "I didn't expect that after a thousand years, there would be a priest, or the oracle of the Wing clan, it is really unpredictable and shocking." ”

"Oracle Grand Priest, Fang Yu's Sword Fu Fellow Practitioner?" Chen Yan whispered, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Why did he kill the Liwang? Liwang is cruel? Could it be that it is the same as in the ancient books, the priest must inherit the oracle and protect the living beings?"

"Not good!" Chen Yan was suddenly shocked and thought of something: "If this is the case, he will definitely come to Xiguan to stop this war from continuing." ”

Xu Shiping also suddenly thought of this.

Immediately afterward, there was an urgent report outside.

"Report, there is an abnormality in Xiguan. ”

A spy entered the tent and reported on his knees.

β€œγ€‚ Xu Shiping frowned.

"According to the news of the spies in the city, there is a large army gathered at the east gate of Xiguan City, at least three million people, and the leaders are Jun Zhong who has left Beijing for the next year, as well as the oracle chief priest, and there are several high-level monks, whose identities are unknown. ”

Sure enough, he came. Chen Yan closed his eyes and sighed heavily, "This war is getting more and more difficult for the new army. ”

"Continue to investigate, and report immediately if there is news. Xu Shiping waved his hand and helped Chen Yan to sit on the chair, "You are too tired, thank you, I will deal with these military reports." ”

"Shihei, thank you. Chen Yan covered his hands and looked at him.

"Yan'er, be polite to me. Xu Shiping chuckled, and Chen Yan laughed too.

On the wall of Xiguan, Fang Yu looked at the dense tents of the Xinli Army military camp in the distance, and even set up a house, it seemed that he was going to die in Xiguan, looking at the scale of this camp, Fang Yu conservatively estimated that there were three million people. This is really a mess left by the king, the slaughter of Xijun at the beginning, it can be regarded as offending the people of Xijun to death, and now he still has such a big hatred for leaving Beijing, if he fights now, he will have three million troops on his side, and it will become a protracted war of attrition.

However, Fang Domain could not afford to wait that long, and the war had to end within three months.

Forget it, let's talk to that Chen Yan, it's a big deal to let the country recognize the independence of Xijun, and if it doesn't work, I will cede the land and pay compensation, anyway, if I can stop the war, let me complete the plot task, and leave the rest alone.

"Spread the word to the other party, I want to make peace with Chen Yan, the one they lead, in front of the army. Fang Yu fixed the channel.
