The devil is coming

Chapter 862 The Imperial Capital falls!
day,
blacken.
Li Xundao was patrolling the camp. The Forbidden Army was personally organized and trained by him. Although it absorbed many generals and disciples from the old Forbidden Army system, they were basically marginalized. At present, this army is still under the control of Li Xianggong. .
Yao Zizhan, who was dressed in a green robe, walked over slowly. Li Xundao waved his hand, indicating to the generals around him to continue patrolling the camp, and he took the initiative to walk towards Yao Zizhan.
"Master Yao, haven't you rested yet?"
"Not only me, but also the officials probably haven't taken a break either."
Li Xundao nodded. After all, this was the first personal expedition by an official official, and it was also the first personal expedition by the emperor in the past hundred years. The last time had to be traced back to the period of Emperor Taizong.
It is impossible to say that the officials are not nervous. After all, the opponent they face is not the rebel bandits of the religious people, but the Yan army, and it is still the Yan army flying the king's flag.
"Xundao, will the Yan people attack at night?"
"If I were the commander-in-chief of the Yan people, I should choose a night attack tonight at the latest. In fact, the Yan people should have responded last night, because last night, except for the North Army where Xianggong Han was located, the rest of the All three groups have already come into contact with the Yan people.
But the Yan people just chose to shrink and did not take the initiative to do anything.
If it were during the day, it could also explain that the Yan people wanted to wait until night. There would probably be a night attack tonight. If they didn't take action, the iron cage would really be cast. "
"I have been in contact with King Pingxi several times. This person is not an indecisive person."
"Master Yao is joking, since he dares to leave the elite of our army in Liangdi alone and lead a lone army deep into our army, how can he be indecisive?
The person's good deeds and dangerous moves may be the most taboo, which means hesitation.
in fact,
Xundao hopes that the Yan army can launch a night attack tonight. If the Yan people still do nothing, then..."
"what are you worried about?"
Master Yao asked curiously.
Li Xundao sat down, and Master Yao also sat cross-legged.
"Xiangong Han and Zu Xinyue would receive several messages every day. Originally, Xundao thought that the Yan people would unceremoniously defeat Han Xianggong's side, but the Yan people did not choose to do so. "
"It's raining, and the Yan people's horse hooves can't run?"
"Two years ago, when the Yan people attacked Chu State, it was King Pingxi who led an army to attack a stronghold of the Chu State's vine-armored soldiers, and dug up the Chu people's stronghold by filling in the soil.
Besides, the Yan people relied on the power of the cavalry to run rampant, but it does not mean that the Yan army will not fight if they dismount.
The north is the road behind the Yan people. Han Xianggong's army is stuck on the Yan people's retreat road, because all of us know it, and the Pingxi King must also know it. He wants to use this lone army to overthrow our army. This is simply impossible for Jiangshan.
When he comes in, he must be thinking about how to get out. "
"Are we surrounding the area for reinforcements? Or maybe the Yan people didn't expect that we would hire so many soldiers and horses this time, and even the officials would go on a personal expedition to boost their morale."
"It is possible. The battlefield situation is changeable and everyone has their own thoughts. No one can completely guess it.
Moreover, according to the military newspaper sent by Zu Xinyue, the King of Pingxi is really there. This is what I feel most at ease about. With him here, everything will be easy to talk about. "
"Yes, everything is easy to say when he is there. It is said that he brought nearly [-] soldiers and horses this time, but in my opinion, these [-] soldiers and horses are not even comparable to him.
Once the Optimus Prime of the Yan Kingdom collapses, eastern Shanxi will inevitably be in chaos, the Yan people will lose the land of Jin, and everything will almost return to the way it was before. "
The two have different perspectives, one is from a military perspective and the other is from a political perspective.
"It's just that facing such an opponent, Xun Dao really doesn't dare to take it lightly. Xun Dao has been uneasy since he couldn't keep him in the back mountain."
At that time, Prince Pingxi was assassinated on the ice of Wangjiang River. He relied on the power of magic pills to resolve the crisis with the help of Qi Practitioners. However, Li Xundao found an opportunity and used the white lotus left by Master Zangfuzi as a guide to "detain" Zheng Fan. Arriving at the back mountain;
I thought I could solve this serious problem, but I never imagined that Zheng Fan went up the mountain and then down the mountain. In the end, he not only gave up his master Bai Lian, but also lost most of his Qi Refiner cultivation.
Yao Zizhan consoled him, "Some people are destined to die on the battlefield."
Li Xundao nodded.
At this time,
Yao Zizhan said in a low voice: "If it were your idea, what should I do? That would be to put you in the position of Prince Pingxi."
"I will not wait until now. Since ancient times, the reason why we have used the encirclement method to defend against the enemy. It seems that multiple armies are advancing vigorously, but in fact it is because a single army cannot be stable when it comes out.
Therefore, the biggest flaw for the encircling party is that once the other party knows it in advance, when you encircle you, no matter which way you come, I will only go all the way, and I will take advantage of my superior strength to eat all your branches.
Even if you can't win consecutive battles in the end, at least after eating one or two of your lanes, the so-called encirclement will be out of the question.
But that person clearly deployed so many sentry horses. Judging from the news from the past two days, when my three-pronged army pressed in, the Yan people's sentry horses responded immediately.
Its ability to use troops cannot just sit and wait for us to fix the cage.
This is also the most unreasonable point of Xun Dao. Facing such an opponent, I really don't dare to expect that others will make such a big mistake so that I can take advantage of it. "
"If the Yan people plan to break out, which way does Xun Tao think the Yan people will go?"
"What do you think, Master Yao?"
"North, right?"
To the north is where Han Gen is.
Li Xundao shook his head and said: "If the Yan people plan to withdraw from the north, they won't wait until now and not launch an offensive against the north."
"That's the west side? The west side has the fewest troops, and the majority are still Northern Qiang cavalry."
"The last thing the cavalry likes to encounter is the cavalry, because the cavalry can hang on each other. The officials also issued an order early, telling the Mingya Governor that once the Yan people come to him, he does not have to fight with the Yan people, but only You just need to avoid its sharp edge and then look for opportunities to entangle it. Then, my other three armies will immediately tighten their pockets and suffocate the Yan people to death."
"Then if you are a Yan person, choose..."
Yao Zizhan gritted his teeth.
continued:
"What if King Pingxi, after discovering our official Jinwu Dragon Ban, directly chooses to attack us?
According to the character of Yan people, according to his character,
I think,
It's very possible that he will do this! "
Li Xundao wanted to say, is he seeking death?
Of the four armies, the most difficult one to fight is the Forbidden Army where Your Majesty is.
Whether it is training, quality, ordnance, or the morale bonus brought by the officials themselves, this road is definitely the most difficult to fight, and it is definitely the most tolerable.
But Li Xundao couldn't say this to Yao Zizhan, because he knew the reason why Yao Zizhan thought this way.
Li Xundao stretched out his hand and gently scraped a few stones on the ground;
The Gan people were afraid of the Yan people. Even though this fear was alleviated a lot after the great victory in Liang, everyone was still very nervous when the Pingxi King led his army.
Literary men are sentimental and capable officials, and they also like to study laws. Although they have never been truly down-to-earth, they always think that they have understood the secrets of heaven. Sometimes, they are even better than Qi practitioners.
In Yao Zizhan’s view,
The most unlikely choice is often the most likely choice, because that's what Yanren and Prince Pingxi have always done in the past.
but,
How is it possible?
After thinking about it, Li Xundao felt that maybe the officials were a little worried now.
"Master Yao, don't panic, there is a path to seek along the way."
"Good, good, good."
"Master Yao should go and accompany the officials and talk to them."
"Okay, I'll go now, old man."
Yao Zizhan stood up and left. As he walked over, the soles of his boots stepped on the pile of pebbles that Li Xundao had scraped earlier.
Li Xundao also stood up. He didn't notice it at first, but after taking two steps, he turned around and lowered his head to see,
Found the original pile of pebbles,
Only one was left in place.
Li Xundao frowned slightly.
His gaze looked towards the direction of the Yanren army stronghold.
"The second-guessing formation in the formation of suspicion?"
Li Xundao habitually held his left wrist with his right hand and tapped his fingertips back and forth.
"Go deeper alone and then go deeper alone?"
Li Xundao closed his eyes, and a map immediately appeared in his mind.
immediately,
He slowly opened his eyes again,
"Death and then life."
Li Xundao turned his head and looked at the place where Jinwu Longzhu was. There was the palace of the official family.
He was hesitant and hesitant;
Because although he was the husband-in-law at this time, as a husband-in-law who basically spent the first half of his life practicing in the back mountains, his wings and influence in the court of the Qian Kingdom could not compare with Yao Zizhan.
the most important is,
That King of Pingxi can speak for himself in the army.
he can't
He is Li Xundao, not an official.
and,
He just thought of a possibility, a possibility based on his own flash of insight, a possibility that he felt that it was impossible for the other party to think and act like this.
This is possible,
It is far crazier than what Yao Zizhan said before, charging directly at the army where Jinwu Longhui is!
Between the teeth, it pierced the lip, and blood began to overflow.
Li Xundao felt that everything was in chaos in his mind, but amidst the chaos and complexity, he still decisively chose to go to the official residence.
But when he got there, he couldn't help but stop again.
Because he realized a problem, that is, no matter whether his previous flash of inspiration was true or not, he had now lost the ability to stop and change it.
"Ms. Li, do you need a servant to inform the officials? The officials are currently playing chess with Master Yao."
"No need, I just came to see how the official family is resting."
"Yes."
Li Xundao walked out of the cabin and returned to his handsome tent.
From time to time, generals came in to report military information to him, and he responded with approval one by one.
Wait until daybreak,
Master Yao walked in.
"I'm tired, I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap."
"The officials are also asleep?" Li Xundao asked.
"The officials have also rested. Haha, the officials said that they thought that the Yan people would attack the camp tonight, and they also wanted to play chess with me while listening to the shouts of killing from the other side, so as to inject more flavor into the game. It can be passed down as a good story.
It's a pity that the Yan people failed to give this face. "
Li Xundao smiled and nodded.
"Xundao, you still have to pay attention to rest. The safety of the troops and officials along the way depends mostly on you."
"hold on."
"It's almost dawn, why don't you wait?"
"Waiting for the Yan people."
"If the Yan people don't come to fight at night, do you want Bai Tiantang to attack in an upright manner?"
"No, let's wait for the Yan people's request to surrender."
"Please surrender? Who asked for surrender? Could it be that person?"
Yao Zizhan was shocked by these words and immediately continued;
"The Yan people didn't even fight the trapped beasts, but just asked for surrender?"
"I don't know if I will really ask for surrender, but to be honest, I don't want the Yan people to send a letter asking for surrender later, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise, it means that we have been plotting for a long time, but in the end, we were plotted against."
"How can he calculate the current situation? Whether it is the three sides or the Liang area, a large number of soldiers and horses of the Yan people are involved. Other soldiers and horses of the Yan people have no time to appear in Xishan County at this time. He Even if King Pingxi knows how to fight again, is it possible that he can still summon soldiers and horses?"
"No, Master Yao, I just looked through the excerpts sent by Mr. Han a few days ago, from their meeting to other interactions between them.
After reading it again, I suddenly realized that what was written in this military letter was neither words nor matters.
Instead,
Full of deliberateness.
That King Pingxi was like a clown, jumping up and down on the stage,
Shouting over and over again,
He's here,
Others are here,
Here he is,
But, haha, this may be a coincidence. The more he shouted out in such a big way, the more we laughed at him. "
at this time,
There was a burst of cheers from outside the handsome tent,
Then,
It was the messenger shouting:
"Report!!!!!! King Yanlu Pingxi sent a letter asking for surrender!"
"boom!"
Li Xundao's fist landed on the handsome table,
With a wry smile:
"It's over..."
...
"Your Majesty, the letter of surrender has been sent."
Reported by Chen Xianba.
Zheng Fan nodded and checked the armor on his body to see if there were any problems. At the same time, he touched the position of the heart mirror, where the magic pill was.
"Big Tiger."
"exist!"
"Check the silver armor on my king Pixiu again."
"Here!"
"Didn't the letter of surrender just come over? Why did you become so panicked all of a sudden?" the sword master asked curiously.
Zheng Fan shook his head,
road;
"Originally, I didn't plan to send this letter of surrender, because I was worried that it would be superfluous. But then I thought about it, it's not bad anyway, so I might as well send it, in case it can be delayed for a while, right?
However, we have to be prepared here. We cannot treat Gan Ren as a fool. Maybe there is someone among Gan Ren who has become suspicious. Please read the letter and I will be almost certain.
The stoves were increased, the flags were set up, the horses pulled the dust, and all the remaining main forces in the military camp were sent out as sentries;
These kinds of illusions will be very deceptive before being poked, but after being poked, the true colors will be revealed immediately. "
"so……"
"So I'm scared. I was just pretending to be calm before. Now, I'm starting to panic."
"You didn't panic before you made this decision?"
"Only when a disaster is imminent can you really feel the fear. Everything before was all fake. I only have 20 soldiers and horses around me, and there are more than 50 soldiers. Even if the first generation of Zhenbei Hou fought [-] soldiers a hundred years ago, The record has exceeded [-], but our current disparity in military strength is even more exaggerated than that of the original Zhenbei Marquis.
Immortal tyrant, please pass on the message, and the entire army will be ready and await my king’s military orders! "
"Here!"
...
"Uncle, is there any news from the north?"
"Not yet, not yet."
"It's so worrying."
"You kid, what are you worrying about? Just mend your fishing nets."
"I'm afraid the swallow dog will attack again!"
"How is it possible? How is it possible? Yangou is not the same Yangou as before. Haven't you heard that Yangou's two most capable princes are no longer here?
Now, it is only supported by a junior. "
"Uncle, that junior is not simple either."
"We are no longer the big cadres we used to be. Did you ever think in the past that the officials would actually lead the expedition in person? The officials have all gone north, and those Qiu Ba are all excited and fighting for their lives.
Yan people, what's wrong with the Yan people? Don't they all have a pair of shoulders supporting a head?
Didn't we just win a battle in Liangdi? It was said that there was a big lake in Liangdi, and the whole lake was filled up with the corpses of Yangou. "
"Uncle, last time the government transferred civilian husbands, why didn't you let me go too? My parents were killed by Yan Gou. In my dreams, I wanted to kill Yan Gou to avenge my parents."
At that time, Li Fusheng's troops attacked the city of Shangjing. Facing the nearly impossible city to break, Li Fusheng ordered his men to capture the people in the capital and forced them to attack the city, resulting in heavy casualties among the people.
"Live well, only when you are alive can you have a future. Your parents are gone, and it is not easy for your uncle to raise you. For your sake, your uncle did not marry your mother-in-law. You can't let anything happen to you. You have to provide for your uncle in his old age." It’s the end.”
"Uncle, you said you could win, but you also said that the official family also went there, why..."
"Why are you talking so much? Come and unload the fish. When the news of the great victory comes back, the price of fish and meat in this city will inevitably increase."
The uncle and nephew unloaded the freshly caught fish from the boat together.
We have just come down from the south bank of Bianhe River.
Immediately, he felt a terrifying tremor coming from the ground.
Both uncle and nephew looked to the west in confusion. From there, a sea of ​​black clouds rolled in with majestic force!
soldiers,
So many soldiers,
So many cavalry!
"Ha...haha...ha...the straight bitch...it should be a great victory for us...the official master has returned to the court...ha...haha..."
"No, uncle, black armor, black armored cavalry, they are Yan people, they are Yan people, the Yan people are coming, the Yan people are coming again!!!"
...
This is a dusty army. The knights are very tired and the horses are also very tired.
They took advantage of the heavy rain in the past few days to march and hide in the mud. They walked from the west and made a large detour before the Northern Qiang cavalry arrived.
At this time, many soldiers' lips were cracked and crusted, and the horses began to foam while running;
It was an all-out gallop, and no one knew how many war horses. After this time, they had to be thrown to the rear to be used as pack horses, and could no longer bear the responsibility of war horses.
but,
It was all worth it because they succeeded.
in front of them,
Standing there is the richest, most magnificent and most populous city in Zhuxia... Shangjing City!
Chen Yang let out a hoarse roar,
He shouted to Fan Li, who was running with all his legs in front of him:
"General Fan, we are here, we are here, take out the bag of tips that the prince gave you, quickly take it out and see what the prince has ordered!"
The prince used himself as bait to trap Han Gen's troops, and at the same time, he attracted Qian's army to move closer and surround him.
The purpose is to create enough opportunities and possibilities for the main force led by Chen Yang.
Before leaving,
In front of Chen Yang, Prince Pingxi delivered a brocade bag to Fan Li and told them to open the brocade bag when they saw the city wall of Shangjing City.
"That's right!"
Fan Li seemed to have completely forgotten about the kit. After all, unlike others who had unlimited respect for Prince Pingxi, Fan Li was the one with the least sense of "awe" of the Lord even among the group of demon kings.
What kind of tricks are you playing? Things are getting serious!
But Chen Yang’s eyes were burning,
Fan Li could only touch it, and finally took out the kit.
Open,
Inside is a piece of paper,
Fan Li pursed his lips and kept pulling at the paper while continuing to run. Finally, he could clearly see the words on it, just two words, two words that he was very familiar with.
Hey!
Fan Li smiled,
He raised his double axe,
shouted:
"Ula!"
