lonely king

On the hot night of Meng Xia, Xizhao led an army of 50 to attack Taoyang City, but fell into Sai Jian's plan, and more than half of the 50 army lost. Those who absconded fled, those who abandoned the battle, and less than 20 remnants fled back to Xizhao. Ten thousand.As soon as the remnant soldiers fled back to Xizhao, they were attacked by Jiang's army and horses. Jiang's army and horses came from Jiangyuan Pass, crossed Baiji River and directly killed Xizhao King City.

Princess Xizhao Yue Zhixin sits in Xizhao, commanding 20 remnant troops to fight against each other. The situation is fierce.

Xizhao and Dajiang are actually equal in strength, Xizhao has Yue Zhixin in charge, and Baili Nian has also rushed to the front, a tit-for-tat fight against Maimang is inevitable.However, Qiang Zhuo went from a pincer attack between the two countries to a situation where the two countries were fighting each other. It was really ups and downs.

Taoyang City, Gaoming Terrace.

The east was already pale, and Sai Jian listened to the battle report without any expression on his face, as if he heard something unimportant, only when someone handed a letter to Sai Jian, his brows tightened.

It was written on the envelope: From Nian'er, from Sai Jian.

"Huh." Sai Jian's lips let out a cold snort, especially the word "Nian'er", which burned Sai Jian's eyes like a flame. He really wanted to tear up the letter directly, and he didn't want to hear a single word from this person. , but after a long silence, he still opened the letter.

The letter is extremely simple, with only one sentence:

"I will lead the army to the south and cross the river to attack the king's city of Xizhao. Wang Jun will send troops to the west to attack Xizhao."

"Oh," Sai Jian sneered, and slammed the letter on the ground, "How do you know that the king will listen to you, instead of taking advantage of the war between your two countries, and the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind!"

As far as Qiang Zhu is concerned, it is best to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait until both Xizhao and Dajiang are injured, and then send troops to destroy the two countries in one fell swoop and dominate the Central Plains.

Is it just that Sai Jian would do this?

His face was gloomy, and he was still wearing heavy armor for combat. Since he received this letter, he has not said a word.Wei Yu, Liu Jing, Xu Jiang and others stood by, and they also saw the content of the letter. Xu Jiang wanted to persuade Sai Jian not to make trouble, but when he spoke, Liu Jing stopped him.Liu Jing shook his head at him, motioning him not to say much.

Among the pros and cons, I believe Sai Jian understands that Sai Jian has never been a confused person.Liu Jing knows that Sai Jian has a steelyard in his heart. If it is something he doesn't care about, he will analyze the pros and cons and listen to dissuasion. But if it is something Sai Jian cares about and insists on doing something, no amount of persuasion will help.

Now is the time for Sai Jian to make a decision.

Sai Jian's expression was extremely complicated and overly gloomy. He has always been a free and easy person, but the entanglement at this moment does not need anyone to be less.Baili Nian gave him the decision-making power. Baili Nian was always a person who was 100% sure of doing things, but this time he handed over his life and death to Sai Jian. After he designed Sai Jian, he Give him the power of life and death.

This person is really too much!

After being silent for a long time, Sai Jian finally stood up. He looked up to the southwest, with a complicated expression, and said, "Reorganize the troops immediately, and send troops to Xizhao!"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jiang frowned, and the word "objection" was written on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, how can you..."

Liu Jing grabbed Xu Jiang and interrupted him. He looked at Sai Jian and asked after a while: "Your Majesty has decided?"

"It's decided." Sai Jian murmured, his voice very soft.

Liu Jing nodded, "The old minister understands, let someone rectify the army and horses immediately." He looked at Wei Yu, "General Wei, go forward, and immediately lead a hundred thousand light soldiers to Xizhao to help Jiang. The rest of the soldiers and horses , After cleaning the battlefield, go to Xizhao."

"I..." Wei Yu opened his mouth, his eyes fell on Liu Jing, and then turned to Sai Jian, he sighed, "I understand, I will send troops immediately."

After saying the word "send troops", Sai Jian kept silent, waiting for Wei Yu, Liu Jing and Xu Jiang to leave before he raised his head. A fierce light suddenly appeared on his originally calm face, and then he kicked the person in front of him. The table is extremely irritable.

Qiang Zhu still sent out his troops, and he couldn't wait to send out his troops at dawn.It's just that Sai Jian didn't personally lead the army. It was Wei Yu who led a hundred thousand light soldiers to attack from the west side, directly attacking Xizhao King's City, without even giving Xizhao a chance to breathe, so he went in.

At this time, on the east side of Xizhao King City, Dajiang's 20 troops faced the battle, and the situation was tragic; to the west of Xizhao King City, there was a surprise attack by Qiang Zhuo's [-] troops from the Qiang Zha Grassland, marching swiftly.Xizhao was attacked by the two countries and was on the verge of collapse.

King Xizhao City, above the city tower.

Yue Zhixin was wearing a red cloak, standing against the wind on the gate tower, her expression was light, her eyes were looking in the direction of Taoyang City, her eyes were desolate.

General Xue next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and stood in front to shield Yue Zhixin from the wind.General Xue was the only general who was stationed in Xizhao, and unexpectedly he became the last one.He said: "Princess, take a break. You have not closed your eyes since you sent troops to Tao Yang from the king. It has been a day and a night. You must take care of your health."

Yue Zhixin didn't take it seriously, as if she didn't hear it, she still looked in the direction of Tao Yangcheng and asked, "Is there no news from your majesty?"

General Xue shook his head, "There is no news, it is said that he fled back to Xizhao, but the last general sent so many people there, but there is no trace."

Yue Zhixin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she bit the corner of her lips. "Don't look for it, tell someone to find a way to sneak into Taoyang City, the king must still be in Taoyang City, in the hands of Sai Jian."

General Xue frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he said: "Today's Taoyang City is heavily guarded, and there is a big war again, our people... can't get in."

"If you can't get in, you have to get in!" Yuezhi's heart broke out suddenly, his eyes flashed coldly, "Even if you dig a tunnel to get in, you have to stuff people into Taoyang City for me, and you have to find the king back for me." !"

Yue Zhixin's body couldn't help trembling, trembling all over, "If something happens to the king, Xi Zhaoke is really finished, and there is no room for retaliation." Then he said coldly, "But as long as the king is alive, there will be someone in the Yue clan." , even if it is controlled by other countries like nine years ago, so what if it becomes a vassal state, it can still make a comeback!"

"As long as you are alive, as long as the king is still alive..."

Yue Zhixin's body trembled uncontrollably, with tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she would shed tears at once, but she didn't shed a tear from the beginning to the end, she gritted her teeth, listened to the battle reports that came at any time, and commanded calmly.

General Xue also gritted his teeth, he said resolutely: "Princess, don't worry, the general will definitely rescue the king!"

General Xue was about to leave when a spies hurried over and shouted "report".

"What's wrong?" General Xue was a little nervous, and Yue Zhixin beside him also had a cold face.

The spies didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "Go back to the princess, go back to the general, Qiang Zhuo's army suddenly rushed into the king's city from the west, and now they have broken through two small cities and are coming straight to the king's city."

"Qiang Hao!" Yue Zhixin stared, "Is the leader Sai Jian?"

"No," the spy quickly replied, "The leader is the young general Xie Yuwenyang who besieged Xizhao last time. What is his name, General Wei?"

The spy is also a spirit-stimulating person. He had spied on Wei Yu before, so he took note of this person.

Yue Zhixin sneered, "No matter who it is, Sai Jian is going to help Da Jiang and destroy me, Xi Zhao!"

Yue Zhixin understood in his heart that his mistake was thinking that Sai Jian and Baili Nian would not get along and would go their separate ways, but would kill each other.Her strategy of plotting the two countries to kill each other and gain the benefits of the fisherman ended up falling apart.

"General Xue, you bring the imperial guards to meet the Qiang Zhu army. Remember to fight quickly. Taoyang City has just been besieged, and it is too late for Sai Jian to deal with the battlefield, so he can't wait to help Jiang. Not many, at most [-], you take the imperial guards there, and you must wipe them out before Qiang Zhu comes to reinforce the army again!"

General Xue frowned, "Send the imperial guards over, and there will be no one to protect the princess in the royal city..."

"It's useless to worry about these things now, Xizhao's life and death are at stake, so we can only fight!" Yue Zhi gritted his teeth.

Xizhao's current situation is really too difficult. I thought that Jiang's 20 soldiers were the old Beiyan army, and they could handle it, but they have been dragged until now, and they still can't win.Now there are Qiang Zhu reinforcements, it is really difficult and precarious.

"The last general will go now!" General Xue didn't say anything else, turned around and left, Xi Zhao really couldn't delay now.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yuezhi coughed uncontrollably, the blood was all over the veil, but she pretended not to see it, and threw it aside casually, it was the westerly wind blowing, her thin body shook several times, and the servant girl rushed to help her, so she didn't fall down down.Yue Zhixin was almost unable to hold on anymore.

But can Xi Zhao be saved?Yuezhi couldn't imagine it.

After a day and a night of chaotic warfare, the battle between General Xue and Wei Yu in the west of Xizhao King City still did not end.General Xue wanted to make a quick decision, but Wei Yu was not easy to deal with, and Wei Yu held back Xizhao's [-] imperial guards.General Xue was the last general of Xizhao, he was dragged back, and the battle in the east of the king's city was getting worse and worse, and he was about to break through the king's city.

Sui Yi had already reached the edge of the king's city, and he joined hands with Mo Yan, and he was about to enter the king's city of Xizhao.Baili Nian was in the rear, sitting on the horse, still wearing his veiled hat, directing the battle from the rear.There was a breeze blowing, or raised the veiled cap and light gauze, or raised the black cloak on his body, he looked at the city of King Xizhao with a calm expression.

Mo Ying was beside him, she followed Sui Yi from the northern border, and she is now guarding the rear.

She rushed to Baili Nian and said: "My lord, Qiang Zhuo has restrained Xi Zhao, within a day, we will be able to capture Xi Zhao!"

There was fire in Mo Ying's eyes, and she said to herself, "In less than a day, I will be able to avenge His Royal Highness Shuo Wang!"

Mo Ying was an orphan since she was a child, and like Mo Yan, she entered the Shuo Palace since she was a child. Mo Yan and Jiang Huan are related by blood, but Mo Ying, Mo Ying and others are purely favored by Jiang Huan.Jiang Huan once raised a group of hidden guards, Mo Ying, Mo Ying and others, who were raised by Baili Nian, and in the end they all followed Baili Nian until today.Jiang Huan treats people extremely kindly, even if he was an orphan raised by a dark guard, he was never treated as a servant, but just like Mo Yan, he was related by blood.

Jiang Huan was killed by Yue Jian, the old King of Xizhao, Mo Ying and others were even more determined to destroy Xizhao.

Baili Nian was much calmer. He looked at the Xizhao King City and asked casually, "Was Sai Jian leading Qiang Zhu's reinforcements?"

"No, it was led by a young general named Wei Yu, but that General Wei was also a strong general, and dragged the Xizhao Imperial Guards to death before our troops could enter."

Mo Ying didn't think much, and answered casually, but Baili Nian closed her eyes and murmured, "He didn't come."

When Qiang Hao sent troops, Sai Jian always came in person, and Wei Yu was still a novice, so it was not appropriate. Sai Jian rarely let him take on important tasks, but this time he asked Wei Yu to lead the troops, but he did not come.Does he not want to see himself?Still haven't figured out how to face it, facing the self who has been counted on Qiang Zhu's head by the authorities?

Just as Baili Nian thought, Sai Jian really didn't think about how to face Baili Nian. He could send troops to help Jiang, but he couldn't face Baili Nian himself.

Baili Nian lowered his eyes, suddenly disgusted in his heart, deep disgust.What he hates is not others, but himself.Since Baili Nian was born, this disgust has been pressed in his heart, and it has never stopped. Whether he killed Yue Jian, Gongsunzhi, Zhang You, Zhongyan, Yu Wenyang, he killed everyone without hesitation. However, the loathing of himself has also increased step by step, until today it has completely exploded, and he loathes himself endlessly.

Xindao: I am a sinner, no different from Gongsun Zhiyue and others.

"My lord! Let's break into the royal city!" Mo Ying said suddenly, she was a little overjoyed, and even tugged on Baili Nian's sleeve more politely.But Baili Nian raised his head belatedly, with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.When Mo Ying took the lead to drive the horse forward, Baili Nian still stopped in place.

The city of King Xizhao was broken, and the three kingdoms that once besieged Dajiang were all destroyed, all destroyed...

Baili Nian suddenly felt powerless and stared blankly ahead.
