Chapter 688: War of Founding

Chapter 688: The Battle of Founding the Country

The Beijing troops who were unhappy because they "went south to fight in Langya on a snowy day" a few days ago actually went south to the Cui family's territory, and then entertained them with good wine and meat for two days, and then went around comfortably one by one. Went west.

As long as they are not sent to siege the city in heavy snow, and it is just a field battle, the army still has basic literacy, and it is not like everyone has never fought in winter battles. And it's not a fight, it's an ambush, so there's no problem with that.

Lu Jianzhang and others imagine that mutiny does not exist at all.

It only took half a day before Huangfu Shaozong led his troops to the ambush site. Everyone was still resting at night, and Yeletu's forward Qingqi appeared on the mountain road below.

Huangfu Shaozong stopped his men's movements and whispered: "This is not our goal. Don't disturb everyone. We can continue to sleep for a few more hours to recharge our spirits."

A group of soldiers looked on with strange expressions as they watched Yeletu's cavalry galloping past.

Yelitu attacked the city at night. Of course, it was not just a light cavalry that thought it could succeed. There was also a large force of the Li family behind them. It's just that the large army marches slowly, and they arrive first as the vanguard. The reason why we didn't wait for the large forces to move in slowly... It had to do with Zhao Changhe's shocking arrow earlier.

The march of the large army was too slow and the movement was very loud, so it was impossible to hide the response from the capital. Once the capital is prepared, it may fall into a very troublesome siege. Everyone knows that it is difficult to siege a city in snow. Even if the capital has no soldiers, it can be defended for a while just by recruiting strong men. Suzaku Tang Wanzhuang supervises the battle. Under such circumstances, it may not be so easy for the inner ghost to open the city gate.

And Zhao Changhe's arrow announced that the Yellow River moat was in vain, and the Cui family's cauldron troops pointed at Langya. The Beijing army that Huangfu Shaozong went south to support may no longer be used. Once the capital besieged the city, Huangfu Shaozong would definitely return to defend and engage in After a bad move, he was rescued and missed a great opportunity.

This prompted Yeletu's light cavalry to attack at night, planning to rely on the private soldiers of Lu Jianzhang and others to cooperate with the hidden gods and demons inside and outside to break into the capital with lightning speed. If the new dynasty is completely unprepared and falls into chaos, it can be a direct outcome. The worst-case scenario can plunge the capital into chaotic street fighting, making it impossible to organize an effective defense of the city.

By then, the Li family's troops and horses will arrive, and the matter will be settled. Huangfu Shaozong's troops will not be able to come back in time.

The battle is about this time difference. Although it is dangerous, huge risks mean huge benefits. This is the case with Ziwu Valley's plan and Deng Ai's crossing of Yinping. It only depends on the choice of the general.

It wasn't until Yeletu that a long time passed and it was dawn. Zhao Changhe's battle with Feng Yin on the sea was completed and the whole server was notified. Huangfu Shaozong's soldiers all woke up and ate noodles, and then they faintly appeared in the distance. The Li family's army and horses had been trekking all night, and they seemed to be preparing to find a place nearby to cook.

Huangfu Shaozong grinned and his white teeth flashed: "They are still looking for stones to build a stove. It is really difficult in the snowy weather... Send them some rolling stones first, and the archers are ready!"

“Boom!” Countless rolling stones fell left and right.

This is not a war, this is a naked massacre.

When Huangfu Shaozong raised his gun and led the crowd to rush down the mountain, he even had the idea of attacking the key point in his mind. He soon realized that this idea was too far-fetched, so he pressed it down forcefully.

In fact, the new dynasty was very weak and did not have the conditions for a multi-faceted war.

This battle could never have been that simple. It can only be said that the time was stuck just right, and the opponent's choice was just right, as if he was here to give it away.

The powerful intelligence capability of Tang Wanzhuang's Demon Suppression Division is the basis. All the opponent's movements are like bright cards in our own eyes; and Zhao Changhe's every step seems to be promoting this result, using the notifications from the Book of Troubled Times to guide various The choice of people's hearts really amazed Huangfu Shaozong, who had studied military art since he was a child.

Using this chess-playing method reported in the Book of Troubled Times has basically never been thought of by people in this world. It is like jumping out of the perspective of this world, standing on a high cloud, overlooking the chessboard.

"This guy is a little younger than me, and he ended up being my brother-in-law... I thought my sister was just looking for a strong little puppy, but I didn't expect that she was looking for a true god. It's a bit strange to be true. When they got together, this brother-in-law was just the entrance, right? How do you know he is so powerful?"

“Go back.” Cui Wenjing and Yang Jingxiu were strolling by the Yellow River: “You can’t fight this battle.”

Yang Jingxiu walked with him in silence for a long time, and then said: "Are you sure that when you attack the Wang family, the Hu people will go south, the Li family will come east, and my Yang family will go north... The whole world will rebel, be attacked on all sides, and gods and demons will appear. Such a shaky country The new dynasty...will we not be able to fight this war in the end?"

Cui Wenjing looked up and thought for a long time, looking a little weird.

Why was he hesitant before and ready to go to war with Beijing?

Because from the comparison of strength, no matter how you look at it, this new dynasty is crumbling with enemies on all sides, and there is almost no hope. The mess Xia Longyuan left was such that no one was willing to listen to orders anymore. Even the officials in the capital were against him, and truly the whole world was against him.

Even if Xia Longyuan is alive, he can't change the current situation of the broken mountains and rivers. He must conquer the world again... This is really not something that can be done by one person's force alone.

But when Xia Longyuan was replaced by Zhao Changhe, the situation suddenly changed, as if a dead end had been revived.

Not only the Caobang, Jiangnan, and Cui families, but also the Yang family at the moment are not so determined to become negotiable objects.

Especially when Zhao Changhe was defeated and retreated to the wind, it was obvious that Yang Jingxiu had been shaken after being notified by the Book of Troubled Times. It's not entirely a matter of Zhao Changhe's strength, but that Yang Jingxiu is also sensitive to the feeling that the "general trend" is changing. When the two ancient gods and demons were driven away by Zhao Changhe in the wheel battle, Yang Jingxiu could almost foresee that the fall of Langya was just around the corner.

If Langya can't hold on any longer, what's the point of his stalemate with Cui Wenjing?

"This is the battle for the founding of a country. The establishment of a new dynasty is not done by sitting on a dragon throne and claiming the throne. It has to be tempered by blood and fire. As long as you can withstand it, you will be secure. If you can't withstand it, that is It is not uncommon for short-lived dynasties to make people laugh for thousands of years." Cui Wenjing said slowly: "I am not sure what the situation in the northern war will be like... I will not participate, and you will not move. Wait and see what the outcome will be? Anyway, I am here, Even if you don’t have a few soldiers, you won’t be able to cross the river in a short while.”

Yang Jingxiu sighed: "What can we do if we wait for the result?"

Cui Wenjing said: "Xia Chi...well, Your Majesty will not pursue the battle to siege the late emperor. After all, her own master was the main force in that battle, and she herself was a rebel. There is nothing to say." Yang Jingxiu said: "I do believe this. I won’t be held accountable, but you know what I care about.”

Cui Wenjing was silent for a moment and said slowly: "According to that brat's words, surrender or annihilate the clan. The loser has no choice, unless you rely on some powerful gods and demons... But even if another Luangshang Fengyin comes, it won't do much. .Do you have someone from the second level of imperial realm to rely on?"

Yang Jingxiu shook his head and did not answer.

"There are not that many powerful gods and demons, and even if there are, there are not many who are interested in the pattern of the human world." Cui Wenjing turned to look at him: "If there is no room for choice, there is some benefit in making a decision early. The more troops are approaching the city, the more No right to speak."

Yang Jingxiu couldn't help but laugh: "Why do I feel like you are trying to trick me?"

Cui Wenjing also laughed: "I'm just a lobbyist for my son-in-law, don't think too much about it."

Yang Jingxiu looked at the rolling Yellow River and sighed in a low voice: "You are a lobbyist who carries too much weight... To say where Zhao Changhe's situation is, your relationship probably accounts for 30% of it."

Cui Wenjing said: "Your relationship is not bad either."

Yang Jingxiu stopped talking and seemed to be thinking.

The sky flashed with golden light, and Langya fell.

Yang Jingxiu smiled bitterly: "It's faster than I thought... The inside of this Langya is probably like a sieve, otherwise how could it be so easy to beat?"

Cui Wenjing asked: "The Wang family is finished. Do you want to bet on the Li family, or do you want to bet on the Hu people?"

Yang Jingxiu sighed: "I don't want to have anything to do with the Hu people. I don't agree with the Li family's actions, but what can I do?"

"Of course, cut the mat quickly. You shouldn't be such a slimy person. Stop now. For the sake of joining forces to defeat Maitreya, you still have the hereditary title. You won't lose a local wealthy family. I really wait for them. After destroying the Li family, I can use my hands to deal with you, but even if you want to become a rich man, you can't do it."

Yang Jingxiu was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "After this battle, I resigned and went into seclusion to study behind closed doors. Hongnong Yang will no longer participate in the power of the world. If the children in the family want to be officials or join the army, they must rely on their own abilities and have nothing to do with the family. .”

Cui Wenjing looked at his old friend with sadness in his heart. Yang Jingxiu has a feeling of being in trouble, which he can understand because he has also experienced this kind of emotion.

Times have changed, the future is unclear, and I can’t seem to find my own direction when looking at the world, so hiding from the world is not a bad choice.

He sighed and responded in a low voice: "Okay, maybe we can harvest the mulberry trees. A hundred years later, it is unknown whether Tian Wenzong will come from Hongnong."

Yang Jingxiu suddenly smiled with relief: "Would you like to drink?"

Cui Wenjing made a "please" gesture, and the two of them opened wine bottles on the bank of the Yellow River in front of the two armies.

Yang Jingxiu said: "Shall I have someone bring some food and drinks?"

Cui Wenjing smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a drink with the good news?"

Yang Jingxiu laughed: "You are too confident in your son-in-law..."

Before he finished speaking, golden light appeared in the sky again.

"Zhao Changhe attacked Langya and made a plan with Emperor Xia to show the enemy's weakness. Huangfu Shaozong led his army out of the capital with the name of going south. Prime Minister Lu Jianzhang and more than 20 high-ranking officials and nobles took advantage of the situation to rebel, colluded with Guanzhong and Beihu, and conspired Capital City.”

"The protector of the Temple of Immortality, Nineteen Yeletu of Dibang, led his cavalry around Guanzhong and attacked on a snowy night. Jianzhang and others should open the city gates to welcome the enemy in, which was exactly what Emperor Xia planned. Xia Chichi personally led the attack The imperial army blocked Ye Letu in the palace city, and Suzaku defeated the ancient demon **** and was destroyed on the top of the imperial city... Tang Wanzhuang killed Lu Jianzhang, Lu Shouyi, Pei Yushi and other places with his own hands, killing 14 people, killing them all, and the capital was filled with blood. "

“Huangfu Shaozong ambushed Taihang and destroyed hundreds of thousands of Li family members, beheading thousands of them. Their corpses filled the mountains and fields. Taihang’s color changed.”

“In this battle, sixty-seven people in heaven and earth have withered away, the high gates have collapsed, the elites have been lost, and the true martial arts has suffered, but also the establishment of a new dynasty.”

The blind man couldn't hold back the poem, and his pretty face turned red from holding it in where Zhao Changhe couldn't see.

But after Yang Jingxiu read the battle report for a long time, he suddenly said to Cui Wenjing: "I remembered the criticism of Zhao Changhe in the Book of Troubled Times long ago."

“Which sentence?”

“The long river flows unstoppably.”
