lonely king

It was a quiet autumn night, but the front of Xizhao City was full of war and smoke. The sound of shouts and fighting filled the front of the city. The flames of war were burning fiercely, and the night seemed to be burned red.Yue Wei killed the Beiyan soldiers in front of him, blood spattered all over his face, but when he looked up, he found that the Qiang Zhu army was much smaller, and there was no 20 army that the spies said at all. Looking forward puzzledly, could it be that Sai Jian was wary of him and only sent out a few soldiers?

His mind was full of doubts, when a handsome young man on a fast horse rushed in front of him, the person who came was none other than Wei Yu, and he came to answer Yue Wei's doubts.

Wei Yu smiled mischievously, "I've seen King Xizhao!"

Yue Min frowned, "Are you from Qiang Zhu?"

Wei Yu laughed heartily and nodded, "Yes, the last general is Qiang Zhuo's deputy general, who is also our king's personal bodyguard. Our king asked me to tell King Xizhao that Qiang Zhuo's army has entered the empty city behind Beiyan at this moment. In less than half an hour, we will reach the front line, King Wang Xizhao must guard the city gate, attack Yu Wenyang with my king on both sides, and defeat the Beiyan army in one fell swoop!"

Wei Yu is full of lofty ambitions. He was sent to the front by Sai Jian and Liu Jing after nightfall. Liu Jing only asked him to bring [-] elite cavalry to attack Yuwen Yang at night. The requirements for him are also very simple. The bluff bluffed Yu Wenyang, making him think that all the Qiang Zhu army came in at night.As long as Yu Wenyang believes it, he will definitely defend the rear completely. In this way, Sai Jian will bring the main force to attack from the rear, and Yu Wenyang will fall into a state of double attack, and losing the rear will be even more of a defeat.

Yue Wei was taken aback for a moment, but before he could digest the news, a spy ran over and said that there was an army behind Yu Wenyang, and Yu Wenyang was already overwhelmed.Yue Ming glanced at the spies, then at Wei Yu, and finally burst out laughing. He patted Wei Yu on the shoulder, "Okay! Okay!"

"This king will definitely not disappoint King Qiangzhu's generosity, and will definitely do his best to defeat Yu Wenyang in one fell swoop!"

Yue Ming's lofty ambition was rekindled, he ordered the lieutenant general to let people beat the drums to stir up the morale of the army, while he himself went to the front line to kill the Beiyan army.Wei Yu's task has been completed, he is very light-hearted, and it is even more appropriate to do this. Although his swordsmanship is not comparable to Yu Wenyang, he can easily escape from his hands. This is why Sai Jian and Liu actually asked him to bring troops here reason.

The armies and horses of the three parties finally fought together, the sky was about to dawn, the east was already pale, and the early morning light shone on the city wall, but the roar of fighting in front of the city was indeed the most exciting time.North Yanxi Zhaoqiang Qiang, the confrontation between the three armies is at the climax|climax moment, Sai Jian is brave, Yue Ming is young but tough enough, the world-shaking Yu Wenyang has met an opponent at this moment, he confronts Sai Jian head-on, But he failed to gain benefits from his subordinates, and was defeated by a few steps instead.

Tactically, Sai Jian has already taken the lead, and he is brave enough to fight head-on. Yu Wenyang's reputation as a victorious general may be lost in Sai Jian's hands.

The three-party battle will eventually have a result.

But at this time, far away on the Baiji River, where the autumn wind swayed gently, there stood a white shadow.Baili Nian raised his eyes and looked to the southwest, the sunlight from the east was shining on the southwest, and he felt a shadow over there.Although he was not in Xizhao, the battle situation of Xizhao has also been heard in his ears, especially Saijian's marching and fighting. The troops were divided into two groups, attacking Yuwenyang at night and destroying the rear camp. Strategy, the bravery of this battle, made Baili Nian gratified and sighed.

Without him by his side, Sai Jian would still be a tyrant in troubled times, and without him making plans, he would still have unparalleled strategies.

Baili Nian lowered his eyes and smiled, but the smile was a bit complicated, and there was no joy in his eyes, but infinite contemplation, Baili Nian murmured, "Qiangzhu is no longer a small country that I can control, Sai Jian is no longer a reckless prairie man."

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Mo Yan came from the river, he rowed a small boat, the boat stopped when it hit the river bank, and he jumped onto the bank.It was cool in late autumn, and winter was coming soon, and the wind by the river was even more bone-piercing. Mo Yan put a fluffy cloak on Baili Nian, which was brought over from Taoyang City.

Baili Nian looked down at the red tassels on the cloak, it was tied by Sai Jian, he didn't like such a dazzling color, but Sai Jian said that the white cloak was too indifferent, and a red tassel would look good, It's like him in white clothes, but with a red jade crown covering his hair.Infinitely pure white and a little red, this is how Sai Jian described him. This kid still doesn't know enough Chinese characters.

"Master, shall we go?" Mo Yan asked.

Baili Nian stuffed the red tassels into his clothes, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the red jade crown on the top of his head. The finger that touched the red jade crown was instantly tinged with coldness, and his eyes darkened a lot, " let's go."

……

The combination of Qiang and Xizhao finally defeated Yu Wenyang. Sai Jian and Yue Wei attacked the Beiyan army on both sides. The 50 Beiyan army had only a few thousand people left. Yu Wenyang led thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat Nanming. Skillfully escaped from Sai Jian's siege, he took his soldiers and horses across the Baiji River and went all the way back to Beiyan.

This time, Yu Wenyang's one-year southward campaign ended in failure, and his mighty army at that time had only less than [-] remnants and defeated generals.Not to mention being able to defend Nanming, it would be good if he could return to his Beiyan safely. The captured Nanming was captured by Qiang Zhuo and Xi Zhao. As for how to divide it up, it was up to Sai Jian and Yue Ming.

Sai Jian didn't want Nanming. Once Tao Yang and Nanming were far away, even if he said he wanted Nanming, there was Xi Zhao in between, so he couldn't manage it properly. However, Sai Jian had a great contribution to defeating Yu Wenyang. Yue Ming relied on Sai Jian to keep Xi Zhao, so naturally he would not argue with Sai Jian, so he let him speak and agreed to everything.

Sai Jian claimed more than a dozen cities near Taoyang, and also marked down an official road leading to the Baiji River, but he gave the whole Nanming to Xizhao. The more he got Nanming, he was very happy, and naturally he had no objection , Immediately sent troops to station in Nanming, and he led his army back to the city of King Xizhao.Sai Jian didn't stop either, he and Yue Ying had no friendship at all, and they sent troops for their own interests.

It's just that after returning home, they each had their own resentment.

Yue Wei returned to King Xizhao City, and saw Yue Zhixin standing at the gate of the city to greet him from a distance, because Yue Zhixin couldn't hold it anymore, after Saijian sent troops to help Xizhao, he returned to King Xizhao City. Although the king's city is full of war, Yue Ji is full of joy when he hears that King Xizhao has returned from a victorious battle, so he immediately goes out of the palace to greet him at the gate of the city.

Yue Zhi was already happy when he won the battle, but now seeing his elder sister waiting at the gate of the city, he dismounted immediately and ran forward, with a rare joy in his brows, he held Yue Zhixin's hand, "Mr. Sister, this time the King's Banner was victorious, not only defending our Xizhao, but also winning Nanming!"

The tone was full of excitement, Yue Zhixin looked at her younger brother, her eyes were kind, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She was equally excited in her heart, but her tone was suppressed, and she said calmly: "It's good that the king comes back safely."

"Elder sister, this king has defeated Yu Wenyang and won Nanming, isn't elder sister happy?" Yue Wei couldn't wait, and repeated it again, like a child eager to ask for credit from his elders, making Yue Zhixin dumbfounded.

"Nanming...Nanming?" Yue Zhixin frowned slightly when she heard this, feeling a little strange in her heart, and while pulling Yueming to the city, she asked, "Sai Jian is willing to give up Nanming to me?" you?"

In the final analysis, it was Sai Jian's soldiers and ingenious tactics that defeated Yu Wenyang. Although Sai Jian was also a hero in troubled times with righteousness, he was also the king of Qiang Zhuo after all. Naturally, he would first consider the situation of interests. He had no reason to be so generous. He actually gave the whole of Nanming to Yue Ji, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something tricky in it, and he couldn't help but worry, after all, Yue Ji didn't have those people's treacherous schemes, and there was no one around him who could remind him, if It is not impossible to be deceived by Sai Jian.

"Sai Jian gave Nanming to you, didn't he have any other requirements?" When he promised to send troops to assist Xi Zhao, Sai Jian sent Zhang You away, and there must be demands for offering Nanming this time.

Yue Ming was still in the joy of winning the battle and won Nanming, and didn't notice the strangeness of Yue Zhixin, so he replied casually: "Sai Jian said that Nanming is close to Xizhao, and it is more appropriate to include Nanming in Xizhao's territory. He did not compete with this king for the fertile land of Nanming. He fell in love with the cities to the southwest of Taoyang City. The king thought that those cities were far away from Xizhao and far from Taoyang. It is far less vast and rich than Nanming, so he should be accepted, after all, Qiang Zhu sent troops in the name of aiding Xizhao."

While talking, Yue Zhixin and Yue Zhixin walked towards the city, but there was no one around him, and Yue Zhixin didn't know what to say, he turned his head and looked at Yue Zhixin standing behind, with a very complicated expression, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if What are you worrying about.

"Elder Sister, what's wrong?" Yue Wei felt a little guilty. It's not that he wasn't smart enough, it's just that he sometimes reacted a little too late, and was tricked by others.

Yue Zhixin was worried, and raised his eyes, "Nanming is a vast land, and it was once a rich place, but after Yu Wenyang's army swept by, the once prosperous city of Nanming became an empty city, and the people fled everywhere. Today's Nanming It is a mess, but what about the dozen or so cities in the south of Taoyang? Although they are not as good as Xizhao King City and the surrounding cities, they are also extremely prosperous and rich cities in Xizhao. The dozen or so cities are not as good as Nanming is vast, but there is no need to spend effort to clean it up! How can it be compared to the mess of Nanming! Your Majesty, you are confused!"

Yue Ming: "..."

Yue Ming stared, obviously he didn't think of this. After beating Yu Wenyang away, he was indeed a little overjoyed. After all, the youthful arrogance is inevitably a bit ill-considered. Now that he heard Yue Zhixin's words, he just realized it. His face became a little ugly, and he clenched his fists, "This king knows that Sai Jian, that prairie brat, is not so kind!"

Yue Zhixin supported his forehead, worry was written all over his face, "Now it seems that Xizhao is indeed the most extensive land, in the southern part of the Central Plains, from the westernmost border of Xizhao and Qiangzhu Grassland, to the easternmost Nanming All the coastal areas have been included in Xizhao's territory, but this is a long strip with thousands of miles between the two ends, how can our soldiers and horses in Xizhao be dispersed and controlled!"

"Looking at Qiang Zhuo again, all the small countries in the north of Taoyang have been taken over by Sai Jian, and these dozens of cities in the south of Taoyang have been acquired. The west of Taoyang City enters Cangyu Mountain, which was originally the territory of Qiang Zhuo. Before attacking Saijian in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he also won the area from Taoyang City to the east to Baijijiang. Now it seems that with Taoyang City as the center, the thousand miles of land and cities in this area are all the boundaries of Qiangzhao, and Qiangzhao is based on Taoyang City With the disc at the center, reinforcements can be dispatched from all directions, and troops can be gathered quickly, how can my Xizhao’s long strip of land be able to match it.”

Yuezhi let out a long sigh, "Beiyan occupies the best territory in the north, but in the south and north, I, Xizhao, can't compare to Qiangzhu."

After listening to Yue Zhixin's analysis, Yue Wei's brows were also tightly frowned, and the young man's brows were filled with worry. He really didn't expect that the shape and layout of the land boundary would also affect the defense of troops. From such an analysis, Xi Zhao did indeed At a disadvantage, and as Yue Zhixin said, Nanming is also a mess that is difficult to deal with. How to take over?How to send troops there?

Yue Ming raised his eyes, full of worry, "Sister, what should I do now?"

Yue Zhixin sighed, she gave Yue Ming a peaceful smile, and asked the little maid to remove Yue Ming's armor, so that he could relax a bit. "Since the king has already granted the city to Sai Jian, there is no reason to go back on his word, but please rest assured, even if Qiang Zhu is getting stronger and stronger, I, Xi Zhao, will be stronger than before. Will Qiang Zhu become a king in the future? Leaving aside the obstacles of Xizhao, after all, there is still Beiyan in the northern border. Even if Yu Wenyang suffered a defeat, it did not shake the foundation of Beiyan. Beiyan is still the most powerful country in the world. As long as there is Beiyan, Qiang Hao It will not turn against us, and the most important thing now is Nanming."

"Nan Ming?" Yue Ming frowned even more melancholy, "How can Nan Ming deal with it?"

Yuezhi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, Nanming must solve it, "Send troops first, send a few reliable people to Nanming, and then gather the original Nanming courtiers, let them manage, first appease the people's hearts Otherwise, if there is a riot and some hero in troubled times emerges, this Nanming will surrender to others."

In the troubled times, there are the most uprising heroes. They are talented and martial arts people. They all want to be the king and hegemony. In this troubled world, if they succeed, they will become the overlord. one game.Today's ruined Nanming is a good place to breed heroes in troubled times. If Xizhao doesn't send troops to garrison earlier, it will be a mess.

Yue Ming naturally understood Yue Zhixin's meaning, he nodded, "This king has already left troops stationed in Nanming, and now the war has just ended, whether Qiangzhu or Beiyan, there should be no more wars in a short time, this king Immediately send people to Nanming, first appease the common people and merchants, and then make plans."

"Then let's do this first." Yue Zhixin agreed, and according to Xi Zhao's current situation, it was difficult to come up with a better idea.Yue Zhixin coughed twice, her health was getting worse and worse, Yue Wei was not in Wangcheng, she not only had to deal with the memorials, but also kept an eye on the battle situation in the front, and also worried about Yue Wei, her mental and physical haggard, and her body getting worse. It is not as good as before.

Yue Wei hastened to support Yue Zhixin, Yue Zhixin has been overworked these years, obviously only in his early twenties, but he is worried all day long, his flowery appearance is filled with endless sorrow, and with the body of a sick and weak woman, he supports the whole Xizhao .Yue Ming knew in his heart that without Yue Zhixin, Xi Zhao would never be what he is today, maybe he would never have been enthroned as king at all, or he would have been oppressed to death by the courtiers long ago, how could he be where he is today.

"Eldest sister, go to rest. I will leave these matters to the king. It is important for elder sister to take care of her health."

Yue Zhixin knew that Yue Ming was worried about herself, she smiled lightly, half joking and half serious, "Okay, don't worry, your majesty, your great cause will not be accomplished, I will not fall down, I still want to see your majesty become this Lord of the world."

Yue Ming also smiled, "Okay, this king will never let elder sister down!"
