Chapter 252: The Burial of Yue State
The sky was dark, and the smell of blood drifted across dozens of miles to the tip of Shen Sinian's nose. The young man whispered: "The main force of the Ze Army has not returned yet. It seems that they are trapped by my brother."
Lin Junhuai was commanding his troops to gradually reduce the encirclement. His cute face was incompatible with his serious expression. "Emperor Ze should have noticed the bad situation of the main force. I wonder if he will send troops to support us."
Shen Sinian shook his head slowly: "Sending troops now will only increase casualties, not to mention that Emperor Ze has not made any move yet. He must have abandoned the main force, or he is waiting for reinforcements from the imperial city."
Although they are called the main force, they are only the main force of the army going out on this expedition. Compared with the entire huge army of Emperor Ze, they may not be of great importance.
Lin Junhuai seemed to be thinking about something, and then said: "The grain and grass transported by the Ze Army..."
"The left prime minister has already sent troops to intercept them."
"Then our food and fodder supplies..."
"It shouldn't be a problem if the Imperial Concubine personally escorts it."
Hearing this, Lin Junhuai suppressed a low laugh and said, "It looks like this battle will be a quick one."
She sent troops immediately after the peace treaty was signed, catching Ze State off guard. Facing the powerful Jun Lin's unexpected quick attack strategy, a prolonged battle line would only be disadvantageous to Jing State, so she had to fight quickly and decisively.
"Report——"
The signalman breathlessly handed over the Emperor Jing's token and whispered, "Your Majesty has ordered us to encircle and destroy the main camp!"
Shen Sinian took the token carefully, turned around and looked at Lin Junhuai, then smiled.
It finally begins.
The darkness was broken, and a huge mechanical bird spread its wings above the main camp of the Ze army. Soldiers stood on it and shot flaming arrows downwards.
The flames shot up into the sky.
"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"
The tent was reduced to ashes. Zejun rushed out with his weapons raised and shouted angrily: "Shameless little thief!"
A lean and tall figure gradually emerged in the night. The boy had his ponytail tied high and his sleeves fluttering. He came against the light with a sword in one hand. Shen Sinian's eyebrows were extremely cold and indifferent: "The battlefield is treacherous, and soldiers are not tired of deception. How can you say you are a thief if you are not as skilled as others?"
Zejun said with a loud "Puh" viciously: "Kill!!!"
Lin Junhuai fired an arrow into the air, and with a "swoosh" sound, a large army armed with Mohist improved weapons swept over.
There was heaviness and determination between his brows: "Take down the main camp!"
The night was so dark that it seemed as if we would never see the dawn again.
…
Compared with the rapid military advance of Jing State, the situation in Southern Xinjiang and Yue State seemed to be in a stalemate.
When the situation in Southern Xinjiang was almost lost, the army of the King of Southern Xinjiang officially launched the attack.
Gongqing held the Buddhist beads behind his back with one hand and laughed lightly: "I have finally waited for this."
Li Nian asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to take over Southern Xinjiang this time?"
Upon hearing this, the minister looked at him in surprise, and said something meaningful: "The King of Southern Xinjiang is just a pawn to weaken our army. The real mastermind will not watch Southern Xinjiang fall, or -"
Li Nian hurriedly asked: "Or?"
The man curled his lips in a rather amused tone: "Or maybe because of the negative behavior of the Southern Xinjiang King Yu Di this time, that person will use this opportunity to pull him down, and thus truly take over the control of Southern Xinjiang."
Li Nian suddenly realized and murmured in a low voice: "The King of Southern Xinjiang has already caused dissatisfaction by sending troops now. If he cannot defeat our army, the mastermind will take action, repel us and replace him as the new king. The people will praise this hero who saved them from the water and fire, and dependence and admiration that is more terrible than faith in the King of Southern Xinjiang will be attached to that person. At that time, Southern Xinjiang will be really difficult."
The night was dark, like thick ink splashing all over the nobles.
The man's eyes were calm and peaceful, as if the mountains, rivers and the starry sky were reflected in his eyes. His skin was as white as warm jade and seemed to be melted by moonlight, and his soft brows were dotted with a touch of elegance.
He sighed: "This man is really giving me a difficult problem. Should I defeat the King of Southern Xinjiang's army and send him to the throne? Or should I withdraw my troops and make the people of Yue unhappy, and I won't be able to avenge the children who were tortured."
It is really difficult for Gongqing to be the new king.
Li Nian was surprised: "There are so many reasons? Then, Your Majesty...what should we do?"
What should I do?
The minister waved his sleeves with his eyes bright and clear.
"I am the King of Yue, so I naturally put the interests of Yue first. However, since the other party has calculated this far, it would seem that I have no manners if I don't return the gift to him."
He threw half of the tiger talisman to Li Nian and turned to leave.
"If he dares, he can try to take over the devastated southern border."
Li Nian's heart was greatly shocked. He combined the tiger talisman in his hand with the other half in his sleeve, and his eyes contracted and tightened.
Your Majesty's intention is to seek justice for the people and at the same time swallow up half of southern Xinjiang.
The new King of Yue was not recognized by everyone in the court, and the power in the hands of the ministers was restricted, but this was enough for now.
It was enough for him to hit Le Zhou on the head with a stick.
There is always someone better than you, and there is always someone better than you. Le Zhou just happened to offend Guigu and the other guy.
No one will have an easy time.
Gongqing and Junlin are of that kind. If you tear off a piece of their flesh, they will retaliate fiercely and wish to tear your bones into your stomach.
I will wear out my golden armor through a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I will never return until I have conquered Loulan.
On the second day, charge horns blew long and long. Dead bodies were half-hung on the city walls, tattered clothes were stained with blood, flames of war were raging, thick smoke was rolling, the smell of iron and fishy smell invaded the air and surged into the nose. The King of Southern Xinjiang glared at the ministers with sinister eyes.
The Yue army's formation was difficult to break, and with the presence of nobles, it was even more powerful, with no blind spots left. His troops were almost gone.
Under the city, the dukes and ministers were riding on their horses and looking up at him.
He waved his hand, and the Yue army understood and rushed their chariots to ram the city gate.
One sound after another made the King of Southern Xinjiang feel heavy-hearted.
Seeing that the door was about to be knocked open, Gongqing slowly turned his horse around and was about to leave.
“Kill!!!”
The city gate was broken open, and the King of Southern Xinjiang, wearing armor and holding a sword high, led his troops to fight back, with his skin torn and blood gushing out.
Win.
The minister rode his horse and slowly closed his eyes.
"The Queen—"
The sudden roar was like someone tearing out his heart and bones, so piercingly painful that it made his heart twitch unbearably.
The ministers suddenly turned around to look back.
The King of Southern Xinjiang cried bitterly while holding the rotten and smelly corpse.
The officials frowned, what had happened?
The queen who was originally protected by the guards ordered by the King of Southern Xinjiang, the queen who should have stayed in the palace instead of appearing on the battlefield, the queen who was maliciously pushed to her death in the battle between the two armies, and the queen who was accidentally pierced through the body by the Vietnamese army.
The corpse gradually broke into pieces, countless insects crawled out of it, and then the corpse melted, and the foul stench spread throughout the place. Both armies were stunned and their scalps numbed by this horrifying scene.
The energy in Wang Hun of Southern Xinjiang completely dissipated, causing his high-bound black hair to fly apart.
"Prince——"
"I want you and Yue Guo to be buried with the queen—"
He made a long hoarse cry and vomited blood every day.
"I am willing to feed the snakes with my own body, and use everything I have to destroy the Kingdom of Yue!!!"
