Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1941: The Dongcang Kingdom was destroyed and Emperor Cang died

When the army was going to war, not to mention other people, even the old emperor at that time had other celestial masters around him to protect him on one side.

After all, even tigers take naps!

Even the commander-in-chief of an army is like this, let alone the emperor leading the army himself!
They will naturally be protected by celestial-level power!

Especially since Xuanyuan Huang had already experienced an assassination attempt, he paid more attention to protecting himself.

There are only a few celestial beings in the Tianshi Dao. Cangjie had already gone to Henan at this time, and Xuanyuan Huang was accompanied by two celestial-level masters. No matter how they were distributed, one of Tethys and Coeus must be among them.

Moreover, whenever Xuanyuan Huang went on an expedition in the past, it was basically these two who were with him, or Cangjie who provided defense.

The two Titans, Thetis and Coeus, like Crius, were more inclined towards the physical system. After all, they were better than Rong Cheng, who was not good at fighting.

In this way, after boarding the warship, Thetis naturally knew about the power that Xuanyuan Huang had been hiding, and even knew about Xuanyuan Huang's plan at sea.

It's just that at first, when she was at sea, she didn't have the chance to pass on the message.

Precisely because her identity was top secret, even Zhao Gao was not aware of her identity, so it was impossible for her to contact Han Xin on her own, but she had to secretly assign Luo Wang.

This time was one of only two times that the two people had passed on messages so far.

The last time was when Xuanyuan Huang was poisoned, Huangfu Guyuan launched a massive attack, and Fenghou was defeated repeatedly, making the enemy arrogant and wanting to carry out a risky plan.

"Your Majesty the Flame Emperor!"

"The troops of Dayan are coming soon. We can make a concerted effort and join forces to march into Qingbei and defeat Han Xin!" said a Dongcang general.

After all, their Majesty is still surrounded by Meng Tian.

As for the words of the Dongcang general, Xuanyuan Huang simply glanced at Yang Su.

Doesn't he want to lead his troops into Qingbei and defeat Han Xin?

The problem is that when the Zhushan defense line was still there, if he entered Qingbei at that time, he could first cooperate with Huangfu Guhan in Lin'an to defeat Meng Tian, ​​and then join forces with Yang Su to fight against Han Xin. This was the strategy with the greatest chance of winning.

However, you all abandoned your Majesty and handed over the Zhushan front line to others. At this time, Han Xin's troops had already crossed Zhushan and entered the plains.

What's the point of him leading his troops to attack at this time?
"Ahem..." Yang Su cleared his throat without blushing, and then said, "I guess the main force of the Great Yan army has not arrived yet. If we enter Qingbei at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Han Xin!"

Although Yang Su did not know in advance that there was such a naval force and did not expect the other party to arrive so soon, he also knew that the main force of Dayan would not be here!
Xuanyuan Huang must have wanted to catch Han Xin off guard, so he needed a large force to attract the attention of all parties.

Therefore, in the absence of the Zhushan defense line, before the main force of Dayan arrived, even if the two armies joined together and fought back to Qingbei, they would not be a match for Han Xin.

"His Majesty!"

"Han Xin's grasp of time is so exquisite, so exquisite that it is unbelievable!" Feng Hou on the side said meaningfully.

It can be said that Han Xin was walking on time. If he was a little slower, he might have been blocked by them!

And when it comes to this, Fenghou can't help but think more!
"The Han army has many eyes and ears. I guess our army was discovered by someone while sailing at sea!" Xuanyuan Huang knew what Feng Hou wanted to express, but he shook his head.

He also had doubts about the same issue.

However, if there really is such a person, he must be a senior figure in Dayan. Anyone who has the opportunity to do this is a core figure in Dayan.

Now, with the war imminent, if this matter gets out, it will only cause suspicion, hinder unity, and be detrimental to the upcoming war.

Therefore, it is better to investigate secretly and look for clues about this person. He believes that as long as they continue to investigate secretly, no matter how deep this person hides, it is impossible for him to reveal no clues.

After all, there are only a few suspects in this matter!
On the other hand, Han Xin, who should have fled in panic, did not run all the way as imagined. Instead, after running for dozens of miles, he let his soldiers begin to recuperate.

He was also waiting for Xuanyuan Huang to catch up. Not only did he know from Luo Wang that Xuanyuan Huang was hiding in the dark, he also knew the other side's troop deployment. He also knew that the only ones who could catch up with them were the Black Spear Dragon Horse Army, who were also cavalry.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the heavily armored heavy cavalry that Da Yan had spent all his money to build.

Of course, in fact, even he himself knew that the chances were slim. He knew something about Xuanyuan Huang. This person was definitely not easy to deal with. He would not be so confused as to reveal such a flaw.

Sure enough, the final result was one that disappointed Han Xin.

Knowing that Xuanyuan Huang was unlikely to send troops to pursue, Han Xin officially withdrew his troops back to the camp, and ordered Qin Qiong to lead the main force to cross the Zhushan defense line and enter Zhushan County.

He himself only brought 5,000 cavalrymen and headed straight for Lin'an, the capital of Dongcang. Han Xin would not let go of the merit of destroying the enemy's capital and destroying the country.

However, when he was only halfway there, he received news that Lin'an had been captured and the Dongcang Kingdom had been destroyed.

At that time, the news about Yang Su abandoning the Zhushan defense line had just arrived, but Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao also keenly realized that this was an opportunity.

Under the day and night attacks of their 50,000 Kwantung Army, the defense forces in the city suffered heavy losses, especially those new recruits who were temporarily recruited. These peasant soldiers suffered a large number of casualties in this offensive and defensive battle.

Logically speaking, in a siege battle, especially against such a strong city, the two sides would have a casualty ratio of one to three. For Meng Tian, ​​the damage was within an acceptable range.

However, during the siege, the Kwantung Army lost nearly 10,000 people, not to mention a 1:3 ratio of casualties. On the other hand, the enemy's defenders suffered slightly more casualties than them, with 10,000 slightly more. The reason why the siege resulted in such an outrageous level of casualties was naturally because the quality gap between the soldiers on both sides was too serious.

Moreover, there were not enough strong generals in the city, and Huangfu Song alone could not handle the situation. It was impossible for him to guard the four city walls at the same time.

At the beginning of the siege, those new recruits who were temporarily recruited, because they had no combat experience, actually dragged down the old soldiers in the subsequent fighting, which also affected the casualty ratio of both sides.

The soldiers and horses in the city suffered heavy casualties, and most importantly, the food and grass in the city were about to run out. Even if this matter could be barely concealed from those below, it could not be concealed from those above.

Originally, under Meng Tian's design, because Huang Chao killed several noble families indiscriminately, some gaps arose between Huangfu Guhan and some of the noble families that originally stood behind him.

However, after all, it is just some gaps, which can't make the two sides as close as before. However, looking at Yueyue is not enough to make these families completely turn to the Han Dynasty.

After all, compared to Dongcang, which implemented the Nine-Rank System, the Han Dynasty could not give such preferential treatment to the noble families. These noble families were still waiting for Yang Su's reinforcements.

However, as the situation in the city continued to deteriorate, this original crack began to show signs of erupting!

Of course, there is still a little bit of east wind before a real outbreak, or in other words, the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

The news that Yang Su abandoned the Zhushan front and led his troops to flee to southern Qinghai was the tailwind, the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened."

Huangfu Song, who was supposed to be commanding the defense on the city wall, walked directly into the palace with a gloomy face. At this time, he even ignored the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. He directly walked past the eunuch and handed several sheets of thick paper in his hand to Huangfu Guhan's throne.

"Your Majesty, the Han army used bows and arrows, as well as catapults, to drop a large number of these letters into the city."

"Now, the scattered rats are everywhere in the city, and there are even more rats in the city, which are causing chaos in people's hearts. Although our army and several friends from the Demon Sect have brought people to capture a batch, I'm afraid they are just some harmless little rats!"

"At this moment, the news is spreading from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. If it is not stopped, I'm afraid everyone in the city will know about it." Huangfu Song said with a serious expression.

Huangfu Guhan frowned, and after taking the paper and looking at it, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The content on the paper was exactly about Yang Su. Although the city was now heavily besieged by the Kwantung Army, he was always paying attention to the front line and still received the news from a special channel.

These days, he has greeted Yang Su countless times, even including other generals on the front line.

However, in the end, it was just impotent rage and did not change the situation at all.

“Bang…”

Slamming the letter heavily on the desk, Huangfu Guhan shouted angrily: "A scheme to attack the heart, a scheme to attack the heart, you traitor, you are so vicious."

When the east wind came, under the instruction of Meng Tian, ​​the Luowang in the city took action immediately. In addition, Meng Tian and Yang Yantian outside the city also used bows and arrows to shoot a large number of arrows into the city. For a time, news about Yang Su swept to all parts of Lin'an City like a wave.

However, in Meng Tian's description, Yang Su abandoned the Zhushan front and led his troops to flee to Qingnan. It suddenly became that Yang Su had his own troops and betrayed Dongcang, and was about to become independent.

"Pass the order down. All documents shall be confiscated immediately. Citizens are not allowed to keep them privately, circulate them, or read them. Anyone who violates the order... will be killed without mercy." In a state of excitement, Huangfu Guhan was so angry that he spoke murderously without even thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ti, the Minister of Personnel, immediately stood up to object, saying, "No, Your Majesty, it is more difficult to prevent the people from speaking than to prevent the river from flowing. If you do this, you will completely push the people to the opposite side! Not only will it not solve the problem, but it will make the city more chaotic!"

Although, ever since the news from Yang Su came over, Huangfu Guhan was implicated by Yang Su, his attitude towards Yang Ti has become noticeably colder in the past few days.

However, at this time, Yang Ti was still conscientious and fulfilled his obligations as a subject.

Yang Ti is a typical child of aristocratic family.

As one of the two major representatives of the Qingbei Yang family in Dongcang, he must fully fulfill his obligations as a subject. Especially after dealing with the matter of Yang Su, he must play a more exemplary role. Even if he has to sacrifice his life in the end, he must protect the Yang family's reputation.

In troubled times, whether it was Blue Star or Apocalypse, there were countless cases of children from aristocratic families representing several forces at the same time.

However, those princes might be unhappy, but did they say anything? Or did they do anything?

Firstly, the children of noble families who can be pushed forward are naturally talented. These princes not only need these talents, but also need the power of the noble families behind them.

Secondly, it is because these children of noble families, even if they serve in several powerful parties at the same time, will still fulfill their duties as subjects.

After all, if these children of noble families, if other forces come to attack, they will directly stab them in the back, and even directly occupy high positions because their ancestors and brothers also have brothers in the other forces. In this way, will anyone in the world still believe in these children of noble families? Can these children of noble families still enter the core of various princes?
But in fact, even if the children of aristocratic families serve multiple forces at the same time, they can still enter the core of various princes. The most typical example is Xun Yu and Xun You, uncle and nephew of Cao Wei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty on Blue Star, and Zhuge Liang of Shu Han.

Xun Yu may have had conflicts with Cao Cao's line in the later period, but you can never deny how much help he has given Cao Cao in his life! Moreover, except for that one thing, Xun Yu has always stood behind Cao Cao in other things.

Even though he had a conflict with Cao Cao over that matter, it never violated his image of supporting the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the noble families have the confidence to let their children serve in the government, and this is also the reason why various forces feel comfortable to use these private children. Perhaps there will be a few exceptions in this process, but it cannot change the reputation that most of the children of the noble families have established for the noble families.

And now, just because of the incident of Yang Su, as another signboard of Qingbei Yang family, Yang Ti has to be even more loyal at this time to protect the good reputation of Yang family.

There is a reason why those big families can grow stronger and stronger step by step and even prosper!
"fart!"

"There is chaos in the city now. If we don't suppress it with iron blood, it will be a catastrophe for Dongcang!" Huang Chao directly objected.

Compared with the gentle Yang Ti, Huang Chao's approach has always been more ruthless, using the most direct and cruel means to solve problems.
