The Emperor is Above

Chapter 558 Why don’t you come to support?
"Shangqing Yanglezi is coming with reinforcements?"

Shangqing Huo Yun was overjoyed at first, but then he became very puzzled.
“I remember that Yang Lezi, the Minister of State, accompanied the Emperor of Zhongzhou and the coalition forces of the princes to the north. The coalition forces of the Emperor and the princes alone numbered 40,000.

If Longcheng Yi Yaqing's troops arrived with the coalition forces, there must be at least 50,000 or 60,000 people. How could there be only 15,000 people? Could it be just the vanguard?"

"Uh--"

The captain saw the joy on Lord Huo Yun's face, but he lowered his head with a worried look on his face.
“Reporting to the Lord, the reinforcements brought by Lord Yang Lezi do not include the coalition forces of the emperor and the princes, nor do they include the troops of Lord Longcheng Yi Ya.

The 15,000 reinforcements were composed of 5,000 national militiamen sent by Huolu City, Baiqiu City, and Beilin City respectively, but the 200 chariots came from Longcheng.

In addition, Shangqing Yang Lezi mentioned that Hecheng and Yanhu City were also planning to send troops, but a powerful alliance of wild people had recently appeared in the salt lake adjacent to the two cities.

The city guards who went out to encircle and suppress the enemy were also defeated by this group of barbarians. Foreign civilians in the city were frequently attacked and temporarily unable to go north to provide support. "

"Humph!"

Shangqing Huo Yun's expression quickly changed from great joy to great anger. It was unclear whether he was angry at the northern border cities for not sending troops to support, or at Longcheng Fengtu for not sending reinforcements.

Huo Jun saw his father's expression and immediately rushed to speak: "Father, don't be angry, Hecheng and Yanhu City are probably the truth.

Some time ago, when I was escorting grain and fodder through Yanze, I did hear scouts traveling between cities mention that in the past six months, some kind of NATO alliance has been growing stronger in the Yanze area.

Especially after the Ghost Witch Tribe was completely destroyed two months ago, this NATO alliance has received many refugees, and it must be taken seriously. "

"Alas - the affairs of state are so difficult!"

Huo Yun could only shake his head helplessly and said, "I thought that after the Ghost Witch Tribe was completely destroyed, the northern border would return to peace and tranquility.

However, after wiping out a powerful ghost witch tribe, a NATO alliance has now emerged. It seems that we can only wait until we defeat the Xianyu army before we can wipe out this newly emerged alliance of wild people.

Summon the captains and colonels of all the divisions, leave the soldiers on duty to guard against the enemy, and the rest of the people follow me out of the city ten miles to welcome Yang Lezi Shangqing. "

The northern wilderness is vast and has abundant livestock. Shangqing Huo Yun and many commanders and lieutenants have exotic beasts to ride, and most of them ride fine horses.

When they had gone ten miles, they saw a large army coming towards them in a cloud of dust. The 200 magical chariots in the front alone were enough to make them look terrified.

······
"Shangqing Huo Yun should also know about the situation in Yangwu City and Xuanwei City in the past year."

Yang Lezi and Huo Yun were both high officials. After they met, they exchanged a few simple pleasantries and then went straight to the point.
"These two cities suffered heavy losses from the attacks of the Ghost Witch Tribe this year. The defender of Xuanwei City was killed, the city commander was seriously injured, and the defender of Yangwu City, Tian Bin, was too old to be any more. In fact, both cities were controlled by Longcheng Yi Yaqing."

"What does Longcheng Yi Yaqing mean by this?" Shangqing Huo Yun frowned immediately, "How can a country's city be controlled by a private individual? I heard that he is still building a city in Gaoling, the old nest of the Ghost Witch Tribe?"

Seeing that Shangqing Huo Yun was frowning and about to get angry, Shangqing Yang Lezi looked helpless and quickly advised: "Everyone knows that Shangqing Huo Yun is loyal to the country.

However, Gaoling City was built by Longcheng Yi Yaqing himself after he defeated the Guiwu Tribe. Yangwu City and Xuanwei City were under his control. Even the king and Shimen Sou did not say anything.

You should know that just a few months ago, the king personally went to Longcheng to enfeoff his father. The king's sister Xing Shu and Mr. Shi's favorite granddaughter are both temporarily living in Longcheng. "Alas--"

Shangqing Huo Yun shook his head helplessly, "I know that even Shimen Sou and the new king have no objection, so I certainly won't bother them!
I just didn't expect that a year and a half ago, he was just a junior scholar under the age of fifteen, but a year and a half later, he has become such a powerful minister of a country."

"Mr. Huo Yun, I am not afraid to tell you!"

Yang Lezi Shangqing deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The overall strength of the Dragon City fiefdom today is definitely not inferior to that of the vassal states, and the top combat power is even more terrifying.

Longcheng Yi Yaqing has three first-grade exotic beasts and four first-grade ferocious birds under his command. In addition, after Shimen Sou's eldest grandson was promoted to a first-grade grandmaster, he actually became a guest official under his command.

In addition, there are countless powerful beasts and fierce birds, and the Dragon City Guard has 15,000 soldiers, the weakest of whom are at the ninth level of the warrior realm. "

"hiss--"

Huo Yun Shangqing was horrified. "Doesn't this mean there are eight first-class warriors? The Dragon City Guards are more powerful than the Third Division."

"No, no, I forgot to tell you! There are four dragon claw locust tree spirits in the Dragon City mound, which are also first-class tree spirits. In addition, the Grand Master Xian Yu who was captured by him before has also surrendered."

When Yang Lezi Shangqing said this, even he was shocked, "There are thirteen first-class masters in the Dragon City alone.

There are also countless second-, third-, and fourth-grade exotic beasts and fierce birds. He also has a close relationship with Shi Ling and Qing Hua from Yunling. I don’t know when they became allies.”

After hearing these words, the expressions of Lord Huo Yun, Lord Huo Jun and others changed, but the shock brought to them by Lord Yang Lezi had not yet ended.

“Some time ago, Longcheng Yi Yaqing suddenly left for a while. It was said that he went to the wild mountains and forests. When he came back, there were two Saint Realm experts by his side.

One was a white old ape wielding a long sword, and the other was a giant willow tree that stood tall. When they appeared, a crack appeared in the sky, and they jumped out from the crack. "

"What? Not only are there thirteen first-grade experts, there are also two Saint-level experts?" Now Huo Yunshangqing could no longer hold back the shock in his heart. When did there become so many Saint-level experts?

Originally, when he heard that there were many first-class strong men in Longcheng Fengtu, he thought that there was at least one saint-level strong man, Old Man Shi, in Xingguo, but he did not expect Qing Yi to directly find two saint-level strong men.

After a moment's silence, Huo Yun said, "I know that huge willow tree. It must be the willow totem worshipped by the Willow Tribe on the west side of Yanze.

They submitted to Longcheng Yi Yaqing this spring, and in April they sent thousands of pharmacists to Longcheng Fengtu to cultivate elixirs.

In the past, I only knew that the willow tree of the Jiliu tribe was a very powerful tree spirit, but I never thought that it was actually a powerful saint. What's more, it took the initiative to submit to Longcheng Yi Yaqing. What exactly do they want?"

Yang Lezi Shangqing shook his head and said, "We can't speculate on this, but I heard that this willow tree and Yunling's Qinghua are master and apprentice. No wonder Longcheng Yi Yaqing was able to successfully reclaim the land of Longcheng."

Shangqing Huo Yun was shocked by the strength of Qing Yi's subordinates. After being shocked, he felt angry: "Since Longcheng Yi Yaqing's subordinates are so powerful, why did they sit there and watch the border town without coming to support them?
Even if he was unwilling to fully support the Border Town Fortress, would it be good if he could at least send two first-class strongmen? At least they could hold out for a while longer.

There are also tens of thousands of coalition troops sent by Emperor Diqiu and the princes of Zhongzhou. Didn’t they come to the northern border specifically to fight? Why didn’t they come either?”
