Heaven-defying Skills

At night, in a room in the imperial city, the emperor was pacing back and forth in the hall, still unable to feel at ease. The assassination failed. An urgent report had been sent from the south. The army in Xiaoyao King's territory was ready to move. At this moment, how should he respond.

The emperor is not too worried about King Xiaoyao's millions of troops alone. The conspiratorial King Xiaoyao is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. He believes that as long as he reveals his conspiracy to the world, the number of millions of troops who will follow him in rebellion will never be More than half, rebellion is not a fun thing. After building it, you can go home and rest. If this thing succeeds, you may not be promoted or make a fortune, but if you fail, you will be executed. Facing a powerful empire, who wants to do this? Something!

Even if he rebels out of desperation in the army, as long as he fights a beautiful victory and promises, the rebel army will defeat itself. But what the emperor is really worried about is the Dream Tower. They even dare to assassinate the emperor of the empire. And if they succeed, then if they specifically assassinate the commander who leads the army, the battle will be impossible to fight, and the enemy's morale will definitely be greatly defeated, and those who don't want to rebel will become rebelled.

The five masters of skill are gone and never come back, and there is only one master of skill left by his side. So, who else can be sent to protect the commander leading the army?

After a long time, the emperor stopped and looked at the three people in front of him: Feng Yang, Bingyuan Shan, and Ao Yang, and solemnly said: "I have decided to... drive... and personally... conquer!"

Several people in front of them were startled at the same time, and almost all said in unison: "No!"

"I am willing to lead troops to fight for Your Majesty to share your worries and quell the rebellion!" Bingyuanshan answered first. As the king of the empire with a different surname, Bingyuanshan is good at conquering and fighting. As long as he takes action to fight against the friction and restlessness on the borders of the empire, he will definitely succeed immediately. become.

The emperor shook his head: "No, the people in Dream Tower are not that easy to get along with. If I go on a personal expedition, I can ask Mr. Feng to protect me, and my safety will be guaranteed."

Everyone knew that the emperor was telling the truth, but they really didn't want to let the emperor take this risk, but Feng Yang had to protect the emperor, so if they led troops, Mengmenglou would have a high chance of assassinating them, and success.

Several people tried to dissuade him, and several people in the hall argued with each other, but they couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

"Who?" Feng Yang suddenly spoke loudly, startling the other people. Several daggers flew towards them. Feng Yang stepped forward and clamped the dagger in his hands. When he saw the dagger, There was a note at the handle. He handed it to the emperor, and his body flew out like lightning.

Feng Yang rushed out of the hall and took a look. Except for two rows of soldiers, there were no people around the bright area. He frowned slightly. Feng Yang returned to the hall and saw a smile in the emperor's eyes, and his eyebrows relaxed a lot.

"Mr. Feng, take a look." The emperor saw Feng Yang's confusion and handed the note over. Feng Yang took it and looked at it, only to see that it read: "Meng Meng Lou has decided to withdraw from the battle between His Majesty and King Xiaoyao. !”

"Could it be a scam?" Feng Yang asked suspiciously.

But the emperor smiled and shook his head: "No."

"Why is Your Majesty so confident?" Bingyuanshan was equally doubtful.

"Think about it, since they can appear outside the hall without a trace and then retreat quietly, if they want to take my head, I believe it won't be too difficult."

Several people nodded.

The emperor continued: "Since they don't want my life, they must really want to withdraw from the fight between the two parties. Their conspiracy has already been established and it is impossible to hide behind the scenes. Even if King Xiaoyao succeeds in usurping the throne, we will definitely inform them of the matter. Then At that time, Dream Tower was also unable to gain a foothold in the Blazing Empire. In this case, it was better to sell us a favor, which would be easier for both parties. I didn’t expect that I would be confused. I didn’t expect such a simple truth. But, on the other hand, we I also know how terrifying the Dream Tower is, and how easy it is to get in and out of the Imperial City. I really can’t believe that there are no internal agents of theirs in the Imperial City, so a thorough investigation is necessary at this time.”

Several people looked at the emperor with admiration and nodded with relaxed expressions. Since Mengmenlou has withdrawn, there is no suspense in the battle.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to war again." Bingyuanshan said again.

The emperor nodded and said, "Brother, I'm going to trouble you again this time." After saying that, he smiled slightly and looked at Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing thoughtfully.

The two Aoyang brothers immediately understood and knew that the emperor was giving them the opportunity to test them by fighting, so they both asked for a fight almost at the same time.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "For this rebellion, Yuanshan will be the commander-in-chief. Aoyang, you will be the left vanguard, and Yunxing will be the right vanguard. Tomorrow morning, we will issue an edict when the troops are ordered."

The next day, news came out that King Xiaoyao raised his troops overnight in the southwest to rebel, euphemistically calling the traitor in power. King Xiaoyao was loyal and did everything for the country and the people, but King Xiaoyao's eldest son was killed by the traitor (Ao Xiaoyun is not dead yet), so King Xiaoyao decided to mobilize all the troops in the territory to march to the imperial capital, King Qin. That night, he marched all the way north and conquered five major provinces in one night, shocking the whole country.

Since King Xiaoyao guards the southwest border, many chaotic countries there are constantly fighting, and there are even many armies that often harass the empire's borders. Therefore, King Xiaoyao has millions of troops in his hands, and more than forty surrounding provinces are all under his control. .

Han Fengxue couldn't help but sigh when he learned that the source of everything happened was him. He didn't expect that one Ao Xiaoyun could cause such a big earthquake. At the same time, there was also a trace of heartache in his heart. The one who was hurt the most by the war was undoubtedly For the people of the empire, the disaster caused by such a huge war must be unimaginable.

Outside the imperial capital, there are fertile fields for thousands of miles, and the mighty army is lined up in long lines, and the world is full of killing. On the generals' platform, Bing Yuanshan stood at the front, and Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing stood on his left and right. The three looked solemn, looking at the 1.5 million troops drawn from the imperial capital. Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing, who had never participated in a war, saw such a huge and mighty army, and their blood was surging in their hearts. The imperial blood must have the gene of a war tyrant.

Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing served as the left and right vanguards, respectively, and led 300,000 troops respectively. In order to make up for the shortcomings of their combat experience, their assistants were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

After an impassioned and generous oath, Bing Yuanshan waved his long sword and pointed directly to the southwest.

The army set off in a mighty manner, but the imperial capital was immersed in crying and sorrow. The future of life and death of the soldiers heading to the front line was uncertain, and how could the parents, wives and children left behind not shed tears silently.

In the imperial city, urgent orders of eight hundred miles were sent out one after another. The army had already set out before the food and grass were fully prepared. This was a taboo in the use of troops. However, the war was imminent, so the army could only be ordered to move while messengers were sent along the way to send urgent orders and prepare food and grass for the passing troops. Because the southwest has always been the richest area in the empire, the speed of mobilization must be quite fast.

King Xiaoyao naturally knew the news and sent out 100,000 vanguards, all cavalry, to rush thousands of miles to the west, conquering cities and territories along the way. It was also because the southwest was rich that the local army had never experienced a real battle and was used to a life of luxury. How could they be the opponent of the cavalry under King Xiaoyao's command? Therefore, King Xiaoyao won battle after battle, while the empire lost cities and territories along the way.

Jialan City, the first major barrier to the imperial capital, the most stable city in the southwest, is well connected and is a military stronghold. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for.

Because it was extremely urgent, Bing Yuanshan ordered Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing to split up and rush to Jialan City in two groups. They had to arrive before the Xiaoyao King's army.

Ao Yang ran all the way, and the front line kept sending the latest enemy movements. The enemy's 100,000 vanguard cavalry was getting closer and closer to Jialan. Ao Yang had no choice but to leave 150,000 infantry behind to let them join the rear troops, and he led the cavalry to Jialan overnight.

In Ao Yunxing's tent, Deputy General Gu Pa said: "Your Highness, at this moment, the front line has received news again. The Xiaoyao King's vanguard cavalry is still two days away from Jialan. Prince Ao Yang has led 150,000 cavalry first. I suggest that we can also take the same measure. The cavalry goes first. If we travel overnight, it will take almost two days. In this way, we can meet with the Prince's army and fight together."

Ao Yunxing listened quietly. After listening to Gu Pa's words, he pondered for a moment and said: "Since my brother has gone ahead, he will definitely arrive before the enemy. At that time, we will guard Jialan. , and we will lead 300,000 soldiers to arrive later, surround the enemy, and coordinate with the eldest brother inside and outside, wouldn't it be better. "

Gu Pa raised his eyebrows, somewhat disagreeing with Ao Yunxing's idea. If Ao Yang did not arrive before the enemy, and the enemy occupied Jialan first, and if King Xiaoyao had reinforcements, wouldn't it be necessary to attack Ao Yang from front and back, and put him in danger? If his own troops also rushed there, even if Ao Yang did not have a strong enemy, he could retreat safely. With the intelligence of the third prince, it is impossible for him not to think of this, unless there is a possibility.

Thinking of the ruthlessness of the royal family, His Royal Highness actually used the war to deal with his brothers without considering the overall situation, Gu Pa's heart was cold, and then seeing Ao Yunxing's nonchalant look, as if he didn't understand at all, he was more certain of his guess. How could he, who had been in the battlefield and officialdom for a long time, not understand this, but he didn't dare to talk about such a sensitive topic, otherwise, no matter whether he was right or wrong, he would definitely die if he reported it to the emperor.

Gu Pa said nothing and quietly stepped aside. He watched Ao Yunxing looking at the map with great concern, but his heart was filled with a huge wave, and he could not calm down for a long time.

In the tent of King Xiaoyao's central army, King Xiaoyao said to the messenger: "Order Cai Lun to rush to Jialan and make sure to capture the city before Aoyang arrives. In addition, the other two vanguard cavalry will spare Jialan and capture Hengsha City and Dulang City." After saying this, King Xiaoyao closed his eyes and pondered.
