Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140

The two scouts were suddenly overjoyed to see Liu Bian, and hurried into the city to pay their respects.

Liu Bian originally said that he was going to Luoyang to meet Hua Tuo, so Yu Ji was not too worried. After all, there are courtiers like Wang Yun in Luoyang who are always loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they will definitely take good care of Liu Bian, and he is also in Luoyang There are several hidden stakes buried, and information can be obtained immediately if there is any trouble.But Liu Bian didn't play cards according to the common sense. After he left, there was no news. The scouts under Yu Ji were too busy these days.

Originally, there were Yu Ji's secret sentries in Sishui Pass, but because of the martial law at the pass, even if they knew that Liu Bian was in the pass, they couldn't send any news at all, and Yu Ji saw that the spies at Sishui Pass had not returned, so he sent two more people from Xingyang Xiang Xiang went to Sishuiguan to inquire, but didn't want to meet Liu Bian here.

At this time, the two spies from Hongnongcheng were standing in front of Liu Bian, one on the left and the other on the right, telling him what happened in Tianhongnongcheng.

It turned out that on the second day after Liu Bian left, a Huns general Yu Fuluo led an army of 4000 Huns through Hongnong City, but he fought with another person led by Zhang Jiao. Yu Ji took the opportunity to dispatch troops and filled the city The best of the best, and Zhang Jiao back and forth, defeated the Xiongnu, the 300 Hun army did not surrender, and more than [-] people died in the battle, and only [-] people were captured alive by Yu Ji's soldiers, and even the general of the Huns died. Under Ji Tianlei.The [-] cattle, sheep and livestock carried by the Xiongnu army were also seized and raised by Mingjing Lake outside Hongnong City.

This Mingjing Lake is naturally the lake that was formed when the snow mountain collapsed and the magma melted the ice and snow. Because the water quality is as clear as a mirror, the reflection can be seen when standing on the side, so Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao combined and took off the mirror for it. The name of the lake.

One of the 300 captured alive was said to be King Zuoxian of the Huns, who was being held by Yu Ji in Hongnong City at this time, and was said to be waiting for Liu Bian to go back to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, during the days when he was away, Hongnong City had undergone such a big change.Liu Bian was really surprised when he heard that, and quickly asked: "Since the total annihilation of the Xiongnu army has cost a lot compared to Hongnong City, what are the casualties now? How many soldiers are left?"

"Casualties?" The two scouts glanced at each other, a frightened expression suddenly flashed across their faces, and said hesitantly, "Hongnong City only lost one or two hundred people, but"

"But how? Could it be that Yu Ji was injured?" Liu Bian felt a little anxious in his heart.

"General Yu was not injured either. It's just..." One of the scouts had a fearful expression on his face: "It's just that the man named Zhang Jiao is really powerful. The demon joined the battle, and now all the people in Hongnong City privately call him the Demon King."

"Devil King?" Liu Bian frowned, and he already understood in his heart that Zhang Jiao must have used the four loathsome stitch monsters hidden in the corpse farm under the circumstances that he had no other choice. , it is strange not to be afraid.As for the invulnerable subordinates, they should be those surviving undead soldiers.

"And" the scout who spoke suddenly trembled, as if thinking of something terrible: "Not only that, these days, that Jiao has been building a fortress by the Mingjing Lake, which is made of huge blocks of ice. Within a few days, the rudiment of the castle was formed, which was called Icecrown City by Zhang Jiao. And we occasionally saw skeletons wandering around inside!"

"Skeleton?" Liu Bian sat up in shock, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "You mean a skeleton whose flesh and blood have rotted and disappeared, leaving only bones?"

"As His Highness expected, there are skeletons, demons, and some infected people who were expelled from the city by General Yu because of the plague living in the so-called Icecrown City. He seems to be acquainted with General Yu, so there is no conflict with Hongnong City."

Liu Bian smiled wryly, that means there will definitely not be a conflict. He once strictly ordered Zhang Jiao to cooperate with Yu Ji as much as possible. Both of them belong to his subordinates.
But, why did Zhang Jiao suddenly have the ability to summon skeletons?Isn't this the awakening skill of the death knight after recovery?Could it be that Zhang Jiao turned from a living person into a death knight because of the reason he gave him to manipulate undead soldiers?

No matter how you say it, it doesn't make sense.And Zhang Jiao actually used ice blocks to build the city. Isn't he worried that the ice will melt under the sun?

Liu Bian couldn't figure it out. It seemed that he had to go to Hongnong City and the so-called Icecrown City to understand what happened.

Putting these down first, he then asked some other things, such as the current situation of Hongnong City.

After capturing [-] cattle, sheep and livestock from the Huns, the situation in Hongnong City improved greatly.Yu Ji knew the allusion of killing chickens and taking eggs, so he didn't see those cattle and sheep slaughtered, but let the only [-] Huns who survived take care of those livestock.Because of Mingjing Lake, those cattle and sheep survived on some withered grass and new green grass, and had already begun to produce milk for human consumption.In this way, the food problem in Hongnong City was instantly solved.

Seeing that the two scouts had limited knowledge and couldn't ask anything else, Liu Bian asked someone to give them some food to eat, and then set off to report back to Hongnong City, asking Yu Ji to prepare for an ambush against Li and Guo Si.

The two scouts, with enough water and food, obeyed their orders repeatedly, and left the city on their horses.

Such a change in Hongnong City was beyond Liu Bian's expectation. Now that the food was guaranteed, the remaining people in Xingyang City happened to be brought to Hongnong City, and his old base camp gradually grew. .

As for Icecrown City, Liu Bian couldn't help secretly slandering: Could it be that Zhang Jiao is planning to become the Lich King?Actually took such a name.But no matter what, Hongnong City, like Icecrown City, is his territory. According to the two scouts, Icecrown City has been transformed by Zhang Jiao into a residence for undead creatures, and there are humans in it. It is very strange.But that's also good, these undead creatures under him can live in it with peace of mind, without worrying about being seen through at any time.

But in this way, if it is rumored by other people, after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Icecrown City will definitely be at the top of the limelight, and maybe another prince will gather troops and come to fight a battle.It seems that I have to deal with things here quickly and go back as soon as possible.
