www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Puli City is a large city in the southeast of Xiye. More than two years ago, it was called Puli Country. In mid-September two years ago, Puli Kingdom was captured by a large army led by the Bawen tribe, one of the twelve tribes in Xiye. It became a city in Xiye territory and was renamed Puli City.
Although Puli City is prosperous, it is located in the dry southeast. After an earth dragon turned over more than 20 years ago, the Puli River, the only water source nearby, was cut off and the lower reaches dried up. Since then, Puli City has Without the water source, every few days, the city would send water teams to the upper reaches of the Puli River to collect water for daily drinking of the people in the city.
Once there is no water source, even if they cannot capture Puli City for a while, the opponent is destined to not be able to hold on for a few days.
But this is just in case.
Mr. Wei Qian, who came to report, and the nearby soldiers stared at Xiao Yi with piercing eyes, showing expectation.
Xiao Yi did not hide these things from Yuan Lingbai, and Yuan Lingbai also understood the reason. His clear eyes were shining with the same expectation as the others.
Xiao Yi directly raised his hand and gave a sonorous and powerful order: "Let's go! Follow me to attack the city!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mr. Wei Qian and the soldiers responded in unison, cupping their fists.
Yuan Lingbai also made the same move, his eyes brightening even more. He knew that hanging out with his big brother would be fun!
When all the soldiers responded, their hearts beat like drums and their blood boiled.
When the earth-shattering military drum beat, the soldiers lurking in the ravine jumped out, trained and quickly formed a team, forming a neat square formation, embroidered with silver "Xiao" The black flag with the word "" fluttered in the wind, making a hunting sound.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yi, who was straddling the dark clouds and snow, gave an order, and tens of thousands of soldiers responded in unison. The shouts were deafening, revealing a power that seemed to open up the world.
The morale of the soldiers is high.
The horses' hooves on the dark clouds and snow were the first to gallop out, followed by the sound of the cavalry's horses' hooves, followed by the rumble of the infantry's footsteps. They all ran forward with their heads high and their chests high, with great pride in their hearts.
The place they were in was only five or six miles away from Puli City, and within just a cup of tea, the army arrived outside Puli City as if they had passed through uninhabited territory.
It was the third watch at this time, the surroundings were dark, and the entire Puli City was sleeping. The attack of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army caught them completely off guard.
The Xiye garrison guarding the city gate blew the horn nervously and sent someone to the garrison mansion to inform the general.
In an instant, the whole city boiled like boiling water.
Thousands of Xiye soldiers guarding the city woke up from their sleep and quickly gathered in the direction of the city gate, but it was already too late.
The sound of the city pillar hitting the city gate resounded throughout the world, "Boom! Boom..."
Every sound was like muffled thunder in the sky, resounding in everyone's ears.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The sound of the collision is getting denser and louder, just like everyone's heartbeat, but the mentality of people inside and outside the city is completely different.
The people outside the city are filled with enthusiasm, as if they have doubled their strength, while the people inside the city are becoming more and more frightened...
"Boom!"
In a crash that sounded like it shot straight into the sky, a chilling scream sounded along with the rumble of the door opening——
"The city gate is open!"
What followed was the fierce fighting sound: "Kill!"
The lights of swords and shadows crisscrossed, shouts of killing and screams came one after another, and the strong smell of blood and death filled the city...
The soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army who poured into Puli City like a long dragon shouted as they entered the city:
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Don't kill the people!"
"Don't kill those who offer the city!"
"..."
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army charged into the battle like a flood, and their overwhelming momentum defeated the Western Night Guards who had not yet assembled...
The sound of weapons falling was endless, first from the hands of corpses, and then from the hands of living people... When the first Xiye guard put down his weapon and knelt on the ground, more and more Xiye soldiers lost their With no intention of killing, he knelt down, just because of the words "Those who surrender will not be killed."
The overall situation has been decided!
As for the people in the city, they were all uneasy and closed their doors. When they found that the attacking enemies had no intention of entering, burning, killing and looting, they turned a deaf ear like dead people.
Anyway, the people who died outside were Xiye people, so what does it have to do with them, the Puli people!
To put it bluntly, instead of Puli City being occupied by these murderous Xiye people, it would be better for the general who led the troops to attack the city today to have a benevolent heart...
This night, both the enemy and ourselves, as well as the people in the city, stayed awake all night.
When the day lit up again, the rising sun in the east was rising slowly, and the city was filled with a strong smell of blood. The people looked out through the crack in the door and saw a black flag flying on the wall above the city gate. So flamboyant, so wanton.
The silver embroidered characters sparkled in the rising sun. The Puli people in the city did not recognize this character, but they knew that it was not the Punu script used by their Puli people, nor was it Xiye script... There seemed to be a kind of character to this character. Like a magical magic, it attracts the attention of everyone in the city.
Not only the common people, but also the Southern Xinjiang army attacking the city, and the Xiye prisoners were all looking up at this banner.
"Bang!"
A man in his forties, with his wrists tied behind his back and a beard, staggered as he was pushed by the person behind him, and then he knelt down on the cold, rough gravel ground in embarrassment.
He forced himself to calmly look at the young man in front of him who was wearing a silver armor and had a beautiful appearance. His heart felt cold, knowing that he would definitely be buried here this time. If not, he might even have no bones left.
"Your Majesty, this person is Wen Xili, the leader of the Bawen tribe. I chased him ten miles from the north city gate before capturing him alive." Behind the bearded Hu, a deputy general of the Southern Xinjiang Army clasped his fists and announced loudly.
This is Dayu’s words. Is this person the prince of Dayu? ! But why would Dayu's eldest son appear in Puli City with his troops? ! Thinking of the war in Dayu's western border, Wen Xili was shocked and confused. However, he was already a prisoner under his command, so what was the point of worrying about it anymore!
Wen Xili gritted his molar teeth and said slowly in blunt Dayu words: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you want to kill or behead, please do as you wish."
He stared gloomily at the beautiful young man in front of him, his cloudy eyes revealed strong unwillingness, and swore almost word by word: "But wait, you dare to offend me Xiye , my king will definitely avenge me!"
The young man who was too handsome to look like a man showed a bright smile and said with a hint of nonchalance in his tone: "It's a pity that I don't intend to kill you."
Wen Xili's heart sank, and he couldn't help but speculate on the deep meaning of the other party's words. Could it be that he didn't want to give himself a break and intended to torture himself to death? !
At this moment, a handsome young man ran over with a smile, holding a red post and proudly said to Xiao Yi: "Brother, the war letter has been drawn up according to your wishes! Take a look!"
Xiao Yi glanced at the war letter casually, took out a small gold seal and stamped it, then looked at Wen Xili who was kneeling on the ground again, with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to give instructions. : "Come here, send this prince's letter of challenge and this 'generous gift' to King Xiye!"
This "rich gift" of course refers to Wen Xili.
"Yes, the Crown Prince." A young soldier responded after receiving the order. The soldiers around him all looked here, all excited and high-spirited, with a common belief burning in their hearts: As long as you follow the Crown Prince, this embroidered man will win. The flag with the word "Xiao" will fly in every corner of the Western Night!
On the other hand, Wen Xili was frightened and his eyes were ashen. He only thought that the other party was going to give his head to the king as a demonstration... but he did not expect that he would leave Puli "alive" under the **** of four soldiers. City, all the way to Zihan City twenty miles away, he was still alive.
In the end, the four people who escorted him left without any hesitation, leaving only him and the letter of war standing alone outside the gate of Zihan City.
Amidst the rumble of the city gate opening, Wen Xili opened the letter of challenge with slightly trembling hands. He still can't believe that he survived.
Is this son-in-law crazy? He let him go so easily? !
Does the other party think that he is insignificant in the Xiye Army and that his presence will not affect the situation of the battle at all? !
Wen Xili stared at the seal stamped under the letter of war, his eyes as dark as bottomless hell.
Prince Zhennan!
These five words are imprinted on Wen Xili’s heart.
He will definitely make this person regret his contempt for him! He will definitely come back for revenge!
Wen Xili swore secretly in his heart.
After entering the city, Wen Xili left from the north gate at the other end with a letter of war, and rushed to the capital city of Xiye day and night, and entered the palace to see the king of Xiye.
In the study room of the palace, King Xiye listened to Wen Xili's report and looked at the letter of challenge in his hand. His pupils shrank and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Yi?!"
Xiao Yi, the eldest son of the Nanwang of Dayu Town, unexpectedly led the Southern Xinjiang Army to attack from the southeastern border of Xiye, catching Xiye off guard.
Wang Xiye never thought that Xiao Yi, whose name he only heard, would appear on his desk in this form. Every word in the letter of challenge shocked him!
Hateful! This Xiao Yi dared to provoke him like this, and also claimed that he would capture Xiye, what a big statement!
The King of Xiye squeezed Zhan Shu's hand and exerted a slight force unconsciously. Two clusters of flames burned in his eyes, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly.
Could it be that Emperor Dayu pretended to have peace talks with Xiye on the surface, but secretly ordered Xiao Yi to bite Xiye behind his back?
No, impossible!
Xiye Wang immediately rejected it in his heart.
After the battle between Dayu and Xiye more than five years ago, he had already seen through the behavior of the current Emperor Dayu. This Emperor Dayu did not have the courage of his father, was weak, useless, and It was only because of good fortune that he took the position of Emperor Dayu.
So it means that the prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi, had evil intentions towards Xiye, so he acted without permission behind Emperor Dayu's back, taking advantage of Xiye to fight against Xijiang, and just wanted to take advantage of it from another direction? !
There is an old saying in Dayu: "Greed is not enough, the snake swallows the elephant." Xiao Yi really dares to think about this!
Thinking about it, a fierce light flashed in Xiye Wang's sharp eyes.
He had long heard that Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan in Dayu, was warlike and militaristic, but he did not expect that this person was so bold.
However, what he couldn't figure out was how Xiao Yi got around to that direction to attack Xiye?
Borrowing the road?
How is that possible? !
From the southern border of Dayu to their southeastern border in Xiye, they have to pass through more than one or two countries. How could Xiao Yi do it?
……
Questions emerged in Xiye Wang's mind one after another, making him grit his teeth and puzzled at the same time.
The more King Xiye thought about it, the more irritated he became. A few days ago, he just received the news from Ta Hai that the plan was successful, and he immediately dispatched troops to Dayu Xijiang to reinforce Ta Hai, but he did not expect that Xi Ye's rear There was a fire...
At this time, Wen Xili clasped his fists eagerly and said: "Your Majesty, that Xiao Yi doesn't know whether to live or die, and invades our Xiye border. Please give the last general a chance to atone for his sins..." This time, he will definitely Xiao Yi and his southern Xinjiang army will be killed without leaving any trace.
Xiye King squinted his eyes and didn't speak for a while.
Following that, a middle-aged general in his forties standing next to Wen Xili said: "Your Majesty, I think Prince Xiao is hateful, but this is also an opportunity for Wu Xiye..."
Seeing King Xiye looking at him with his eyebrows raised, without a hint of anger on his black face, the middle-aged general boldly continued: "Your Majesty, no matter what the purpose of Prince Xiao is, he is just sitting in the right place when he behaves like this. It’s true that Southern Xinjiang does have intentions of rebellion!”
A cold light flashed in King Xiye's shrewd eyes. That's right. The more chaotic Dayu is, the better it is for Xiye. With the rebellion in southern Xinjiang and the crisis in Western Xinjiang, Dayu is on the verge of falling apart. Just like the pillars that were eaten away by termites...
As long as he exerts a little more strength in Xiye, the giant Dayu may collapse...
The eyes of King Xiye flickered for a moment, and soon became firm. He lowered his eyes again to look at the letter of challenge in his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Wen Xili, do you know how many people there are in the Southern Xinjiang Army? ”
Wen Xili hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Back to the king, there are about 30,000 troops."
"Thirty thousand?!" Xiye Wang muttered, with a mocking and cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Yi dared to attack Xiye with only 30,000 Southern Xinjiang troops. He was really short-sighted and did not overestimate his own capabilities. Did he think that a mere 30,000 Southern Xinjiang troops could conquer Xiye? !
But...
The King of Western Night touched the beard on his chin and thought thoughtfully: Given the current situation in southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that I can only send 30,000 troops!
As far as he knows, in the past few years, there have been successive wars in Dayu's southern Xinjiang, first against Baiyue, and then against Nanliang. Although the southern Xinjiang army managed to hold on to southern Xinjiang, their strength must have been severely reduced. This time, under the coercion of Emperor Dayu, the Southern Xinjiang Army supported the 10,000-strong army in Western Xinjiang.
After careful calculation, the 30,000 troops led by Xiao Yi this time are already nearly half of the troops in Southern Xinjiang. If there are more, the tens of thousands of troops left in Southern Xinjiang may not even be able to defend Southern Xinjiang. !
Although Xiao Yi's Southern Xinjiang Army captured Puli City, it is not a cause for concern. He cannot mess up his position and make a mistake. At this critical moment, he must not withdraw the reinforcements sent to Western Xinjiang. Big plan!
Now, what I should do is to conquer Dayu Xijiang with one force!
"Kaller." Xiye Wang suddenly spoke again.
The middle-aged general hurriedly clasped his fists and responded: "The end is here!" These three simple words already revealed his eagerness to try.
Wen Xili sensed something and blurted out: "Your Majesty..."
He still wanted to ask for help, but was rendered speechless by the cold gaze of King Xiye. How could he forget! ? Their king was wise and decisive, but he also hated useless people.
Not only did he lose Puli City, the largest city in the southeast, but he was also captured alive by the Southern Xinjiang Army. For their king, this was an indelible stain!
For a moment, Wen Xili's heart felt extremely cold, and he felt depressed and depressed, but his heart was like a mirror.
So that's why Xiao Yi didn't kill himself, because Xiao Yi knew that although he was still alive, he no longer posed any threat to him, as if he was "dead".
The King of the West Night never looked at Wen Xili again. He gave an order to Kale with all his strength: "Kalle, you immediately lead an army of 10,000 to the southeastern border for support! Be sure to kill Xiao Yi!"
With the help of these 10,000 reinforcements and the local soldiers and horses, even if the lost city cannot be recaptured for a while, it will definitely be enough to stop the progress of the Southern Xinjiang Army. When he takes over Dayu Xijiang in the evening , wait until he goes straight into the Central Plains in the west night, and then come and settle accounts with Xiao Yi, a yellow-haired boy!
The eyes of King Xiye shone with confidence and aura. He is 80%, no, 90% sure that he will be able to capture Western Xinjiang within this year.
Two days ago, he had already sent another 30,000 reinforcements to Xijiang day and night. In total, Xiye had invested 100,000 troops in Xijiang. Xiye was bound to win this battle. !
Although the 30,000 Xiye reinforcements sent by the King of Xiye have not yet arrived in Western Xinjiang, Tahai did not wait. At this moment, he is leading the Xiye army in front in the name of "Dayu is protecting Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang" , launched several fierce attacks on Chu Liang City, Weiyuan Hou worked hard and managed to hold on to the city, and quickly sent a piece of paper to the royal capital...
At this time in the royal capital, the emperor was losing his temper in the imperial study.
"Bang!"
The emperor casually threw a piece of paper and hit it at the feet of the fifth prince Han Lingfan.
"Xiaowu, 20,000 people in Yongzhou moved to Yuzhou?! Do you dare to approve this?! Do you know how much manpower and material resources this will cost? The houses, household registrations, and fields of these people after they move... ...Have you thought about each of these things?! You are just approving a deal in the royal capital, and the implementation of the following things is not a matter of words..."
The emperor continued to criticize, with deep wrinkles appearing between his eyebrows, and he looked at Han Lingfan with displeasure.
Han Lingfan stood with his head bowed and listened to the emperor's rebuke without saying a word.
His silence did not make the emperor feel comfortable, but made him even more disappointed.
"Xiao Wu," the emperor shook his head and sighed, "you have only been in charge of the country for more than a month, but you are so careless and made such a big mistake. How can you shoulder the responsibility of supervising the country! Xiao Wu, you are really too embarrassing for me. Disappointed!"
Han Lingfan fell to his knees with a plop, his cheeks still drooped, and he said in a difficult tone: "Father, my son is useless and I disappoint my father..."
At this moment, the hurried footsteps of the young chamberlain came from outside. He came in almost rashly and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Weiyuan sent someone to express the 800-mile rush. ..."
The emperor frowned and said hurriedly: "Quick! Pass quickly!"
Soon, the messy but powerful footsteps of the soldiers mixed with the clash of armors got closer and closer. A young soldier covered in dust strode into the imperial study. He first saluted the emperor and then raised his hands to the emperor. A twist.
Eunuch Liu personally presented the document to the imperial case.
This is the first announcement issued by Weiyuan Hou on November 24th.
The more the emperor looked down, the uglier his face became. Even if other people in the imperial study did not know the content of Weiyuan Hou's excerpt, they could guess that what was written on it was definitely not good news.
Over in Western Xinjiang... Han Lingfan was worried and asked tentatively: "Father..."
But what happened was that the emperor's hand was thrown out. This time, the fold hit Han Lingfan's face hard, and the sharp edge of the fold scratched the lower left side of Han Lingfan's face. A faint trace of blood was drawn.
The emperor didn't care, and neither did Han Lingfan.
"See for yourself!" The emperor looked at Han Lingfan angrily and said, "You also said that Zhennan Prince's Mansion and Han Huaijun had no objections. Look, now they not only openly resist the decree, but also kill Westerners indiscriminately. The night envoy has a terrible intention for provoking war between the two countries! Humph! I finally understand that King Zhennan wants to arouse Dayu's hatred of the enemy and distract Dayu in Western Xinjiang, so that he can take advantage of it. Come in!"
Han Lingfan picked up the booklet, read it quickly, and lowered his head without saying a word.
The emperor stared at the top of Han Lingfan's black hair, his face uncertain.
Since before he ascended the throne, Zhennan Palace has been like a thorn in his heart that has never been removed over the years.
Originally, he planned to use the excuse of the Zhennan Prince's government to resist the imperial edict and take the opportunity to wipe out Southern Xinjiang and get rid of Dayu's only vassal king. However, at this juncture, a sudden attack occurred in the Western Night, and the war situation in Western Xinjiang was crisis. In addition, because of his Han Lingguan's rebellious son suffered another stroke and was in a coma for more than 20 days, so that the situation was out of control...
Now Zhennan Palace has finally revealed his wolfish ambitions!
