The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 340: Everyone Leaves a Way to Retreat, Song Que's Knife
Late at night, a nimble figure avoided the sentry post and turned into a residual image, leaving only a faint fragrance.

As the uninvited guests entered the camp, Su Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, opened his eyes. His spiritual perception made him aware of something strange, but he did not go forward to check it out. He just released his spiritual power.

In his spiritual mind, an evil aura was gradually approaching. This aura was very familiar. It was Zhu Yuyan, with whom he had dealt before.

What on earth was this woman trying to do by sneaking into the Wu army camp late at night?
Su Ming was a little confused, but did not show up. This was the Wu army camp, and someone would come forward. If she could easily sneak into the depths of the central army camp, then why would they fight? They might as well return to the south as soon as possible.

After a few breaths, a noise was heard in the night.

"You sneaked into our camp late at night. What are you trying to do?"

Torches were everywhere, and teams of soldiers surrounded the camp. Kou Zhong had a cold face and exuded a fierce aura. Among them, Zhu Yuyan, who was wearing a night suit, was standing there leisurely. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes could still be seen through the half-covered mask.

Being in the crowd, she was not at all panicked, but was secretly shocked. She thought she could rely on her martial arts to sneak into the camp and meet Song Que, but she didn't expect to be discovered not long after she stepped into the central military camp. The Wu Kingdom indeed had many masters.

Zhu Yuyan ignored his question, stared at Kou Zhong for a few seconds, and asked, "Are you Kou Zhong? Xu Ziling's brother?"

It was rare to hear news about Xu Ziling, and Kou Zhong's heart moved, "Do you know Xiaoling? Where is he?"

Zhu Yuyan looked away and looked around the camp. "Let's talk about this later. I have something important to discuss with your King Wu. This is not the place to talk."

Seeing that he was looked down upon, Kou Zhong became furious. "You are a man who hides his head and shows his tail. You are not a good person. Wait until I catch you first." As he said this, he was about to take action.

The next moment, Song Que's voice sounded, "Bring her in."

Kou Zhong glared at her and walked up to Zhu Yuyan, "Please."

Zhu Yuyan smiled and found it funny, and obediently followed him to the tent where Song Que was.

At this time, in the tent in the distance, Shi Zhixuan, dressed in Confucian robes, was looking at Zhu Yuyan's back with a long gaze. The grievances between him and Zhu Yuyan lasted for decades. For him, he felt guilty towards Zhu Yuyan, otherwise, with his ability, he would have dealt with her long ago.

It was really unexpected for him that Zhu Yuyan came here, but he didn't want to intervene. It would be bad if his whereabouts were revealed and trouble arose. Then he shook his head lightly, flicked his sleeves, and disappeared behind the scenes.

……

Soon, Zhu Yuyan arrived at a tent.

Song Que sat upright in the upper seat, his brows showing majesty without anger, his dark and deep eyes like a cold pond that was unfathomable, his sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, his gaze as sharp as a blade, the candlelight cast a shadow on his angular jaw, the python pattern on the chest of his black robe glowed coldly with his movements, making his already sharp outline look even more like it was cut by a knife.

"Zhu Yuyan, now that you are here, you don't have to hide your head and show your tail."

Zhu Yuyan said softly, lifted the mask, revealing her delicate and beautiful face, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from your eyes."

Kou Zhong on the side took a breath of cold air. Is this woman the famous Queen of Yin Zhu Yuyan from the Demon Sect?
At the same time, doubts arose in her mind again: how did Xiaoling know her?
Song Que invited her to sit down, and Kou Zhong served her tea. As the tea went down his throat, Song Que began to look her over, "The Wu Kingdom has no connection with your Demon Sect. What are you doing here so late at night?"

Zhu Yuyan picked up the teacup without saying a word, but just glanced at Kou Zhong lightly, with a look of condescension in her eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this look, Kou Zhong's suppressed anger rose again. He hated it most when others looked down on him!

"Xiao Zhong, you step back first."

"As ordered."

After Kou Zhong left, Zhu Yuyan drank her tea slowly, her eyes moving, "I haven't seen you for decades. I didn't expect that the former Heavenly Sword would become the King of Wu today. Things change so fast."

"Speaking of which, King Wu helped me eliminate the enemy of Cihang Jingzhai in Hanzhong. I should thank you."

"No need. Everything just happened by chance. Cihang Jingzhai was an enemy of our Wu Kingdom and went against the trend. This was the inevitable outcome." Song Que spoke in a calm voice and did not take any credit for it.

Zhu Yuyan smiled softly, her beauty beyond words. "No matter what, my Yinkui Sect will always owe you a favor. Cihang Jingzhai is our old enemy, and they died before the current generation of descendants even fought. My Yinkui Sect can be considered to have picked up an advantage."

"Although I am a woman, I am also very clear about gratitude and resentment. I came here late tonight because I have something important to tell King Wu."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Song Que said in a deep voice, "Please tell me clearly, Sect Master."

"A few months ago, Jingnian Zen Temple refused to give up and came to Luoyang to seek cooperation with me, hoping to fight against your country of Wu together." Zhu Yuyan paused for a moment, and when she saw that Song Que's expression did not change, she felt bored and continued, "I rejected this matter, but they mentioned that they had cooperated with Wang Shichong, Li Mi and others to fight against Wu together."

"Song Que will remember the lord's kindness. Even if they attack together, our Wu Kingdom will not be afraid."

Seeing the other party's confidence, Zhu Yuyan showed a playful smile on her face, "If that's all, why would I make this trip? Wu State has two great masters in charge, and they are invincible. A mere coalition force is just a small matter for you."

"But if the Guanlong Alliance invites the Turks to enter the pass, does the King of Wu have any countermeasures?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Que's expression suddenly changed. Of course, he was not afraid of the coalition forces, but that did not mean he was not afraid of the Turks. The great wars in the Central Plains were mostly fought mainly by infantry, supplemented by cavalry. Especially since the Song clan was far away in the south, their cavalry was even more insufficient.

The best way to deal with the foreign tribes on the grassland is to use cavalry to counter cavalry. Wu controls the entire south and has the Pegasus Ranch. As long as he is given time, he can build a cavalry with the herdsmen of the Pegasus Ranch as the core.

But Zhu Yuyan's words made him feel very difficult. There was no need to explain the impact brought by the Turks' entry into the Pass. It would have been fine if it was just a foreign invasion, but there was also an internal traitor working together from inside and outside, which really made him angry and gave rise to the intention to kill.

Li clan and Yuwen clan, damn it!
He took it as his mission to restore the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. He was about to unify the south and compete for the Central Plains. However, at this moment, the northern princes invited the Turks to enter the pass, which would definitely have a great impact on the future situation.

By then, the loss of lives would be the least of his worries. He was more worried that the north would be reduced to ruins and the Central Plains would be weakened. Even if he unified the world by then, it would be difficult for him to chase down the enemy and eliminate the alien troubles in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, his heart inevitably grew heavy. He stood up and bowed to Zhu Yuyan, "Thank you, Sect Master, for telling me. I, Song Que, will definitely reward you handsomely!"

If Zhu Yuyan had not come to inform them, the Wu Kingdom would still be kept in the dark. If they were fighting a fierce battle with Wang Shichong and others, the sudden appearance of a Turkic cavalry would be enough to turn the tide of the battle, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing the change in Song Que's expression, Zhu Yuyan was very satisfied. Her trip was not in vain. In fact, if what the old monk Liangran said was true, the Wu Kingdom would most likely suffer. By then, if the situation in the world changed again, it might not be without benefits to the Yinkui Sect.

But there is a problem, the Turks are too powerful. Even if they split, their strength is not something that the current princes in the Central Plains can contend with. The national master of DTZ is Zhao Deyan of the Demon Sect. As a member of the Demon Sect, she knows how brutal the fighting within the Demon Sect is.

By then, the Demon Sect will be powerful and will definitely impact the status of the Yin Kui Sect. As for the Demon Sect and the Buddhist Sect being of the same blood, it will be even more impossible to cooperate wholeheartedly to deal with the Buddhist Sect. She not only wants to destroy the Demon Sect's opportunity to grow, but also to leave a way out for herself and the Yin Kui Sect.

Zhu Yuyan's smile faded, and she said righteously, "King Wu, you are too serious. Although I, Zhu Yuyan, am a woman, I am also a Han Chinese. Our attacks on each other are internal disputes, but this beautiful land should not fall into the hands of foreigners."

Song Que nodded in agreement and his impression of Zhu Yuyan improved a lot.

The two talked for a while, and Zhu Yuyan stood up to say goodbye, "King Wu, please keep today's matter a secret for me. I have to go now."

Song Que nodded slightly, "Master Zhu, rest assured, you and I know this matter, I will send you out of the camp."

"it is good."

Then, Zhu Yuyan put on her mask and Song Que personally sent her out of the camp.

After she left, Song Que immediately summoned important civil and military officials of the Wu State to discuss matters.

The animal-shaped incense burner in the center of the tent was burning with a pleasant fragrance, but the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere. Song Que told everyone what Zhu Yuyan had said, and everyone fell into deep thought.

The Turkic cavalry was unrivaled in the world. It was not that the Song clan could not deal with them, but the Turkic cavalry's entry into the pass was too destructive to the north. It was very easy to make them retreat. Su Ming and Song Que personally took action and easily took the general's head among millions of soldiers.

But after the killing, the enemy might not retreat, because the Long Alliance was an internal accomplice. Once they split up and scattered in the Central Plains, it was unknown how much killing would be caused. More importantly, the Wu State was about to face a major war, and it didn't know when the enemy's cavalry would arrive.

Song Que looked at Kou Zhong and asked in a deep voice, "How many cavalry are there in the army now?"

"Your Majesty, there are currently more than 13,000 cavalrymen in the army, and they are still in the process of being reorganized. Their combat effectiveness is not strong and they still need a lot of time to get used to it. Only 5,000 of them can go into battle."

The south mainly relies on boats and ships, and there are few cavalry. Song Que has been accumulating strength in Shu and constantly purchasing war horses, but cavalry cannot be formed overnight. After obtaining the Pegasus Ranch, the Song clan has no shortage of war horses, but there is still a shortage of cavalry that can exert combat effectiveness.

Song Que thought about it and made a prompt decision, "Well, let's attack the city tomorrow and defeat Jin Yong first. I will do it myself."

Originally, the Song clan wanted to fish, but they didn't expect the enemy to actually bring in foreign races. It was true that the Wu Kingdom had two grandmasters, but the grandmasters were not omnipotent. If they lost a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, even the grandmasters could not save the situation.

……

The next day, the Wu army came out in full force. Hundreds of meters away from the city wall, there were dense sounds. Looking around, there was a sea of ​​people, flags waving, and strong weapons.

Song Que rode on his warhorse and walked out of the battle line. Today, he had nothing else beside him except a sword. The name of the sword was Junlin. In the battle of Hanzhong, he killed four great monks. And soon, it will be unsheathed again.

He closed his eyes, and his jade-white hands grasped the black hilt. The aura on his body gradually increased, and he leaped high into the sky with a light tap of his feet. Few people in Jinyong City noticed this scene, but on the high platform in the distance, Su Ming and other high-ranking officials of the Wu State were watching him.

The next moment, the sky seemed to darken in an instant, and then, a dazzling blade light flashed across the sky. The blade was silent and Shi Zhixuan was stunned for the first moment. In this blade, he saw all things in the world, and it seemed as if he saw the fireworks of the world, and even the great road.

At this moment, Song Que seemed to have become an almighty king, dominating the world, holding imperial power, and overlooking the world.

This sword surpassed his former heavenly sword, entering a mysterious realm, beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Everything in the heaven and earth is his sword, but it is not only the heaven and earth, but also the Wu army behind him is integrated into this sword.

He is the king of Wu, the general of Wu's army, and the man who founded Wu. He has long been closely united with the people of Wu. With the help of the great master's powerful mental power, he controls this military force with the way of heaven.

"Boom!"

The wind and clouds were howling, the thunder was roaring, and Song Que's sword power was still rising. His tiny figure seemed to become huge at this moment, and every change in the energy of all things in the world was integrated into his sword.

The cold blade light expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a hundred-meter-long blade light that slashed towards Jinyong City.

This sword is so strong!
When the masters of Wu State saw Song Que's sword, they all showed horror in their eyes. They couldn't think of anyone in the world who could block this move. Is Song Que so powerful?

Su Ming's eyes also lit up. Sure enough, he was not wrong. Song Que had improved again. He was in line with the general trend and made rapid progress. With today's sword strike, he was already on the same level as himself.

However, this blow was not without cost. After this battle, Song Que would probably need some time to recuperate before he could recover. The military power accumulated by the Wu army since the great victory was also consumed by him. In a short period of time, he would not be able to strike such a devastating blow again.

On the city wall, Pei Renji and others felt the threat of death and were so frightened that they were trembling and unable to move.

"Boom!"

There was only a loud explosion, followed by an earthquake.

"Click."

Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, a huge knife mark crack appeared on the solid Jinyong city wall, from top to bottom, almost splitting the entire wall in half. As the sound rang out, the cracks around the knife mark spread and then exploded, and the city wall actually collapsed.

On the top of the city wall, the Wagang Army soldiers who were unable to escape had no chance to resist and died under the sword light. The remaining soldiers had no time to rejoice, they only felt the city wall shaking, their feet were empty, and they fell down.

"Help!"

"what!"

The screams came one after another and stopped abruptly after the rubble fell.

This scene deeply shocked the soldiers inside and outside the city. Is this something that can be done by human power?
"King Wu!"

"King Wu!"

The morale of the Wu army was high again. They waved their weapons and shouted with such loud voices that shocked the whole area within a hundred miles. The spies watching the battle from afar were so scared that they fled back to Luoyang without even thinking about it, and dared not look at it any more.

At this time, Song Que issued a military order, "Send out the troops!"

The Wu army surged out like a tide, pressing forward with the power of a great victory.
