Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 329 Walking Dead Siege
The deputy leader showed surprise, "How does Your Majesty know?"

Tang Hong and Shen Wenqing also looked at Feng Jin in surprise.

"Fu Yu once said that more than ten years ago, Xuanyuan Hao wanted Fu Yu's mother to marry Xi Khan in exchange for the support of the Xiongnu, overthrowing the Great Zhou and restoring Dayan. They also have a lot of power. Therefore, Dayantang is the one who has the ability to attack the Xiongnu inside and outside, and hates Zhou so much."

The deputy leader nodded in agreement, "However, not only Dayan Hall, but also other people are involved."

"Who?"

The deputy leader looked at Feng Jin, and said slowly, "The door to death!"

At night, Feng Jin couldn't sleep peacefully, so he left the barracks alone, and boarded the nearby hillside by the moonlight.

She looked at the undulating mountains in the distance, and a bright moon rose from between the mountains, and the moonlight was like silver, covering the earth.

"Wenqing, tell me, is it because of Zhen, the gate of death... that he colluded with Dayantang and the Xiongnu?"

Shen Wenqing has been silently following behind her, watching the mountains in the distance with her.

Hearing Feng Jin's self-reproach, Shen Wenqing comforted softly, "Why is it because of His Majesty? That day when Your Majesty was present, when he came to give His Majesty a gift, the light cavalry had already been attacked, but he did not attack him in front of His Majesty. He didn't reveal anything, so it can be seen that he wholeheartedly wants to hide it from His Majesty, he has his own plans."

Feng Jin was silent for a long time before he said quietly, "Tell me, is he doing it for money or power?"

"It's up to him to ask himself, I don't know."

"Yeah, I have to ask him himself. He saved my life before, so I have spared him time and time again. Now that I think about it, did I do something wrong? If I killed him a little more cruelly, the door to death might You won’t be treasonous with Dayan Tang.”

Feng Jin's voice was a little hoarse, and his mood was extremely depressed.

Shen Wenqing sighed, "Your Majesty also said that it is possible, not sure. If His Majesty kills him, maybe the Death Gate group will stop there, and maybe Death Gate will fight against His Majesty even more in order to avenge him, against Da Zhou. Your Majesty, there are no absolutes in this world."

He walked over and put the cloak in his hand on Feng Jin's body, "There will always be people in this world who do all kinds of incomprehensible things for various reasons, it's not your Majesty's fault, it's them Your Majesty already bears the heavy responsibility of the world, so don't take those responsibilities that you shouldn't shoulder on yourself."

Feng Jin sighed faintly, and gave Shen Wenqing a grateful look, "I also know that I cannot interfere with other people's decisions. The matter has come to this point, and no matter how much I blame myself, it won't help. I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and that's why..."

She smiled, and the smile was a bit forced, "Speaking of which, I am hurting the spring and the autumn. As the emperor, I shouldn't be like this."

"Your Majesty's heart is soft and kind, which is a good thing for all people in the world."

Although Shen Wenqing also felt that the Queen's mood has changed a bit recently, she is not as calm and decisive as in the past, she lacks the traits of an emperor and more of a woman, but he didn't think too much about it, and only thought that the reason why the Queen's mood swings is because No name for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, the army continued to move. Since the light cavalry was ambushed and lost more than half, Feng Jin sent the remaining light cavalry into Fengzhou to guard Fengzhou together with the soldiers of Fengzhou.

Fengzhou is the third line of defense between northern Xinjiang and the imperial capital, and it is also the last line of defense. After passing Fengzhou, the remaining towns have no major defensive towns.

Not only that, Feng Jin asked the previous two generals to lead [-] troops each to rush to Fengzhou together. Counting the days, it should be almost two days.

Ten thousand light cavalry, plus Fengzhou's original [-] troops, [-] troops against the [-] Xiongnu army, with the help of Fengzhou's high and strong city walls, the Xiongnu army could not attack for a long time.

In addition, General Liu, with [-] troops, has been harassing the tail of the Huns army from behind, and the Huns have become impatient.

The commander-in-chief is Prince Mage, the eldest prince of the Eastern Huns. He is brave and good at riding and shooting. He is an eagle on the grassland. Five sons, two came.

At this time, in addition to Prince Mage and Prince Liha, Prince Saya, the only son of West Khan, was in the tent. However, Prince Saya did not appear here as a general, but as an aide.

"I have dealt with the empress of Dazhou. This woman is not only smart and decisive, but also has good martial arts. She also knows a little yin and yang. She can even deal with walking corpses. Her personal conquest will greatly increase the morale of Dazhou's army. She and the [-] troops rushed to Fengzhou, and we can't attack Fengzhou even more, so we must fight quickly."

Prince Saya said in a deep voice, "Now there are only more than 1 defenders in Fengzhou City. According to the secret report of the spies, another 10,000 troops will arrive in Fengzhou in these two days. If we don't take advantage of these two days to capture Fengzhou Zhouzhou, when the [-] reinforcements arrive, they will definitely hold us back so that the Queen's [-] troops can arrive, and then we will be in trouble. There will be [-] troops from Zhong's army blocking the way, and the Queen's [-] troops will be in front. + Great army, we will be attacked from the front and rear."

"No one knows the truth, but the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are too cunning, they have been shrinking behind the city wall, no matter how much we shout and scold, they just don't fight, they rely on the high and strong city wall, so they hold us back like this."

Prince Liha has a quick temper and yelled loudly.

The rest of the generals followed suit.

As the commander in chief, Prince Mag looked around and asked, "Where's Master Mu?"

"I went to drink and play military tricks with Xuanyuan Zhen."

Prince Liha said angrily, he didn't have any affection for that so-called Prince Dayan, he just knew how to talk, drink and play with women all day long, what else could he do?
If Xiongnu hadn't asked Dayan Tang for help, he would have turned his back on that person long ago.

Prince Mag was much calmer than him, and called one of his subordinates, "Please ask Master Mu to come back immediately."

Soon, Master Mu came back, accompanied by the drunk Xuanyuanzhen, "What? Can't conquer Fengzhou, do you want our Dayan Hall to help?"

Xuanyuanzhen opened his mouth, reeking of alcohol.

Prince Liha snorted heavily to show that he was not offended, and Prince Mage cupped his hands imitating Da Zhou's etiquette, "Reinforcements will arrive soon, if we can't attack Fengzhou, this time the invasion of the army will be in vain, please His Royal Highness is helping the Xiongnu."

Xuanyuanzhen mumbled drunkenly, "It's really useless, even a closed city can't be captured", Prince Liha's face changed, and he was about to get angry, and was stopped by Prince Mag.

Xuanyuanzhen was drunk, but Master Mu was not drunk. The agreement between Dayan Hall and the Xiongnu was that, if the Xiongnu invaded Da Zhou, burned, killed, and looted, Day Yan Tang would not care about it, and wait until the royal family of Da Zhou was driven away by the Huns' army. Xuanyuanzhen ascended to the throne of God and will restore Dayan. From then on, he will pay tribute to the Xiongnu every year with food, silver, horses, silk, and slaves, and will allocate the land in northern Xinjiang to the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu are nomadic people, and the land in the northern border is of no use to them, but it is better to have than to have nothing.

Dayan Tang doesn't care how hard the people are, how their wives and children are separated, their families are destroyed, what they want is the throne.

Master Mu looked at the moonlight sneaking in from the outside, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Tonight is the fifteenth, the night of the full moon?"

"Yes."

Prince Saya responded. He has a good understanding of the culture of the Great Zhou. In addition, he had encountered a walking corpse before, which also allowed him to secretly understand the yin and yang art of the Great Zhou. On severe days, he observed Master Mu and asked tentatively, "Did Master think of some way?"

Master Mu's eyes turned cold, "Since the living can't take down Fengzhou City, let's use the dead."

As soon as Master Mu opened his mouth, there was no sound in the handsome tent. Prince Mag and Prince Liha looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Master Mu's gourd. Prince Mag asked, "Everyone is already dead, so how can I use it?"

"I don't need the eldest prince to worry about it. I am a sorcerer. I have my own methods. The eldest prince only needs to prepare a thousand corpses for me. They must have died not long ago and have all hands and feet."

Prince Mag thought for a while and agreed. It happened that many soldiers died during the attack on the city these days.

He asked the lieutenant to take the soldiers to prepare the corpses, and soon, a thousand corpses were prepared, and they were all placed in a neat row at the gate of Fengzhou City.

When General Chen of Fengzhou City heard the news, he took his lieutenant up to the tower and looked at the pile of corpses below in puzzlement, wondering what the Huns were up to.

Behind the corpse, an altar appeared. Master Mu stood behind the altar, holding a string of bells in his hand, and looked up at the sky from time to time.

The full moon rose above the head, and Master Mu rang the bell, "It's time! Get up!"

Suddenly, there was a strong wind, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell, a smell similar to sea breeze mixed with blood.

General Chen twisted a pair of thick black eyebrows, staring intently at what happened below, the lieutenant followed beside him, and said in a low voice, "General, something is wrong, this person seems to be doing some kind of evil magic."

General Chen said nothing, just staring at Master Mu's movements.

After staring at it for a while, he suddenly said, "Bring a bow and arrow!"

The lieutenant general was a little puzzled, but he still gave him the bow and arrow. General Chen pulled the heavy iron bow and aimed at Master Mu who was shaking the bell and muttering words.

"The general is going to shoot him?"

"Just in case, this person is full of evil spirits, it's better to kill him first."

General Chen said in a low voice, and the sharp feathered arrow shot towards Master Mu with the sound of the wind.

Master Mu was still ringing the bell and chanting mantras, as if he didn't see the feathered arrow shooting towards his heart, which was about to take his life.

When Feather Arrow was only a step away from Master Mu, Master Mu suddenly yelled: "Listen to my command, yin and yang are reversed, blood is sacrificed, qi nourishes the corpse, get up!"

The corpse closest to Master Mu suddenly jumped up, and the arrow just hit the corpse's chest, leaving Master Mu unharmed.

A shocking thing happened, the corpse seemed to have no feeling, still standing upright, staring straight ahead with its lightless eyes.

"General, what's going on here? Aren't those people corpses? How did he get up?"

The deputy general's voice trembled, and his right hand was tightly gripping the handle of the knife. General Chen's face was very ugly. He didn't understand what happened, but it was definitely not a good thing.

The soldiers guarding the city were all shocked, and what shocked them even more was yet to come.

Master Mu shook the bell violently, the sound of the bell was heard, the wind was strong, and the originally bright full moon lost its brilliance little by little, and was being blocked and swallowed by dark clouds floating from nowhere.

When the full moon is completely swallowed, the sky and the earth are plunged into boundless, frightening darkness.

Numerous torches were lit, illuminating the open space below.

The soldiers guarding the city were all shocked when they saw the scene in the open space at the gate of Qingcheng.

All the corpses, a total of a thousand corpses, all stood up, all the corpses lost their light, and stared straight ahead with unfocused eyes.

When Master Mu rang the bell, those corpses turned their heads with creaking creaks, and looked towards the soldiers on the tower, their dead white faces were particularly glaring under the light of the torch.

Master Mu shook the bell, commanding the walking corpses to move, "Listen to my orders, attack the city!"
