When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 118
Hua Jingrong burst into tears: "I have neglected my duties, and now I know that the emperor has such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Now that I think about it, Zhao Zhongxiao, Hu Minde and those nobles really deserve to die. They have caused harm to the country and the people and delayed national affairs. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Capital City In this situation, I must handle the affairs of the DPRK and the Central Government well."

The three people knew the seriousness of the matter and expressed their determination to work with Li Shun to revitalize Dayin and resist the invasion.

In the next two days, Li Shun and the concubines in the harem held a "farewell ceremony" one by one, and spent the last night resting in Concubine Yang's palace. The young couple had been together for three years and had never been separated for a long time.Concubine Yang burst into tears, and Li Shun was reluctant to part with her, but the state affairs were important, and he had to figure out what Dalong was doing in the northwest, otherwise he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

Li Shun promised: "Pei'er, when I eliminate all threats, I will take you on a tour around the world." Concubine Yang is not an ignorant woman. Although she is unwilling to do so in her heart, she also knows that she cannot stop her and can only let Li Shun do it. be careful.

It was the fifth day of September in the sixth year of Shengtong, the day when the market opened, and it was auspicious.

Li Shun disguised himself as a knight-errant, carried the Immortal Slayer Sword on his back, mounted a fast horse, and headed west.From what I have seen and heard, the official roads are full of potholes, and the weeds have been burned away by the flames of war, leaving only broken walls and ruins, which echoes the phrase "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." Occasionally, several people are all the same. His face was numb, like a walking zombie, so he walked in the opposite direction, seeking a way to survive in the prefectural capital of Kinki.

"This war is almost over!"

On the September slope, the new army was divided into two parts. One part camped on the road, and the other part climbed up the slope, occupying a condescending position and occupying favorable terrain.The terrain of Jiuyuepo is unique. One side is steep and the other side is relatively gentle.Down the slope is a plain terrain.Thirty thousand cavalrymen from the north were waiting behind the slope.

Yan Dahu ordered the entire army to resist resolutely in Fancheng for a day, and then abandoned the defense without any cover. The rebels did not dare to pursue for fear of being deceived. As a result, except that the people were evacuated, nothing happened.

In the second city, Yan Dahu put up a symbolic resistance and abandoned the defense again. The rebels were confused by his actions and tentatively pursued him. Only the imperial officers and soldiers were seen fleeing in embarrassment with their flags lowered.

In the third city, Yan Dahu seemed to have shown firm determination and resisted the rebels' attack for three days and nights.The rebels thought that this was where Yan Dahu wanted to defend, but on the fourth day, early in the morning, the rebels launched an attack, but encountered no resistance and found another empty city.

The rebels' front line was pushed deeper and deeper, and logistical supplies became more and more difficult. They thought of fighting to support the war, but every time they only got an empty city, not even a chicken feather was left.

In the rebel camp, Zhong Zhenshan of the Zhong family was appointed as the former army general. He rushed in angrily: "Food! We need food! This is a trick! Yan Dahu wants to bring us down!"

Li Zhao and other distinguished leaders of the Long family were having a banquet. When they saw Zhong Zhenshan, they were stunned for a moment, and then warmly invited him to sit down and have a drink.

Seeing how extravagant they were, Zhong Zhenshan snorted: "The army rations are in short supply at the front! You are still eating and drinking!"

Li Zhao and others laughed.

Zhong Zhenshan became even more angry and cursed: "Why are you laughing!"

Li Zhao raised his hand to signal Zhong Zhenshan to calm down, pretending to be mysterious and said: "The lonely king laughed at Yan Dahu's miscalculation. General Zhong, please come to the rear and take a look."

When Zhong Zhenshan arrived at the rear and took a look, he saw carts of grain and grass being transported into the barn by practitioners.He calmed down, returned to the tent, found a seat and sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and apologized to Li Zhao: "King Cheng, please forgive me. I'm rude, veteran general."

Long Biao, the head of the Long Family, laughed and said: "That Yan Dahu was so smart that he thought he could use this method to bring us down. He didn't know that we had the help of the Immortal Family, so he gave us three cities for nothing."

"Hahaha!" The nobles laughed again.Li Zhaodao: "General Zhong, in the next city, we might as well try our best to pretend that we don't have enough food and grass and are unable to fight again. Let Yan Dahu think that our army is exhausted. According to his nature, he will definitely go out of the city to attack. When the time comes, we will attack again. Surround him and annihilate him in one fell swoop! Li Shun will never be able to raise a decent army again."

Zhong Zhenshan nodded, he could give it a try.

In the fourth city, Yan Dahu escaped before the rebels attacked, leaving no opportunity for the rebels to test it.

Zhong Zhenshan and other nobles were stunned!Yan Dahu, what's going on?Still dragging it back?If we retreat again, will we enter the realm of Heyang?
Long Biao said: "It seems that he wants to drag us to Heyang. There is a fortress that Li Shun worked hard to build. There are many victims, and the food and military forces can be replenished at any time. We must continue to eat outside Heyang." Yan Dahu’s army! Doesn’t he like to retreat very much? Let’s ambush him on the way back!”

In the fifth city, Yan Dahu unexpectedly resisted for five days.On the third day, the residents of the city began to be evacuated. When the rebels on the retreat saw the residents leaving, they knew that they were going to run away again.

The nobles are all ready to pursue.

On the night of the fifth day, after the people in the city had evacuated, Yan Dahu also led the army out of the city. On the road, he encountered a rebel ambush and suffered "heavy losses." The rebels pursued him all the way.

On this day, the morning fog on Jiuyue Slope was very foggy. Zheng Tong, the artillery general of the New Army's Third Army, stood on the slope and saw the signal coming from the front, knowing that the enemy had entered the urn.Yan Dahu ran all the way, and before he had time to rest, he quickly organized his army on the other side of the slope.

20 rebels entered the plain. When the nobles saw Yan Dahu's flag flying in front, they shouted excitedly: "He can't run away anymore! Capture Yan Dahu! Reward ten thousand taels of silver!"

Hu Minyi sat on the horse with a weird posture. His injury was almost healed.However, the blow from the old thief Fang Ji left a psychological shadow on him. These days, he often felt itchy on the soles of his feet.

He vowed to kill Fang Ji at all costs!However, in these days of fighting, Fang Ji never hesitated to fight and never gave him a chance to take revenge.This time he must take revenge.

With their keen sense of smell, the cat demon clan around Hu Minyi noticed a strange smell in the air.

The leader of the cat demon who came out this time said: "Hu Minyi, something is wrong! There is a strong smell of human smell mixed with rust."

Hu Minyi asked: "Isn't it normal that there are people in the army and the smell of rust?"

The leader shook his head and said: "No! This smell is several times stronger than before!"

Hu Minyi looked at the fog around him, twisted a spell, and a strong wind blew away the fog.His wind is like a signal!After the fog dissipated, on the hillside below and to their right, ten thousand cannons roared in unison!

"Ambush in the middle!"

No one could hear his cry, and the rebels were frightened by the deafening sound of artillery!
