Lu Yunchuan and Wei Yisu detoured farther, and the army galloped along the Longnan border. Now that there are so many secret sentries on the Northwest Grain Road, they will definitely startle the snake if they go that way. They have to bypass the entire Dingyu City.

Lu Yunchuan's soldiers and horses stopped at a high slope between the two cities, named Yang Xipo, and there was a village of Yangxi at the foot of the slope. Because most of the village's surnames were Yang, it was called this name over time.

The original deer reinforcements would definitely pass through this place. When Lu Yunchuan led people to hide down the slope, the heavy snow buried half of the village, and it was so deserted that no one could be seen.

Lu Yunchuan knew that after the Northern Xinjiang people crossed the border, there would be no one left in this village.

Dead dead, go away.

"Wait here." Lu Yunchuan led Qian Lixue, carrying the very heavy broad-backed heavy knife, "Whenever there is movement, we will fight. This is the toughest battle for us."

Lu Ziyuan mainly defended the city, while You Jin and Wei Yisu took advantage of the fire to loot, only his blocking battle was the most important.

When entering the village, stepping on the snow to open the road, someone accidentally tripped and scolded his mother. When he got up, he realized that the person tripping him under the heavy snow was nothing but a stiff corpse, so he froze immediately.

Lu Yunchuan walked over and took a look, remained silent for a while, and said: "The war is important, let's put the corpses here, remember to collect them after the battle."

The sky and the earth are white and clean, but they are covered with human life.

It was also Jeb's fault.

Everyone has ambitions, and they should pay the price for their own ambitions. In the past, Northern Xinjiang bowed down and became a vassal, and got the protection of Daliang. There were not many deaths in winter, and the tribe became rich, so they thought about how to swallow the land of Daliang.

Lu Yunchuan didn't fight this battle happily, but he didn't regret it either.

After Dingyu City was handed over, You Jin deliberately let the people in the city go to Yuanlu to report the news. Ming Wanzhao's appearance before the battle was completely different from his usual gentle and quiet appearance. Even more fierce than him.

Only Ming Wanzhao knows what he really is.He is also a dead bone buried in the palace, a sharp blade that secures the country. During the 20 years of being suppressed in the palace, the tyranny in his heart grew wildly in the dark and shady.Whether he is gentle and introverted or gentle and courteous, he is the same as the one who pretends to be crazy and foolish, it's just a mask.

This battle was fought much easier than Ming Wanzhao imagined.

Pemba was a warrior, but his son was a coward.Naxi didn't know how to use troops, and he didn't defend a single city, but You Jin and Ming Wanzhao, who went mad, attacked from the city gate.

After entering the city, the streets and markets in the city were also deserted, with no trace of the common people.Ming Wanzhao caught a Northern Xinjiang soldier and asked where Naxi was. He couldn't understand the Northern Xinjiang dialect, but You Jin understood it. One asked and the other translated.

"Naxi seized the mansions of the wealthy households in the city." You Jin said, with teeth gnashing in his expression, "on the day we left, after Chen Yunting, Dingyu's defense history, took the second battalion to the west, there was no news after that. He said that Chen Yunting and the rest of the soldiers died at the city gate, and Naxi piled them and the bodies of the murdered people in the city in the yamen yard."

It is rare for You Jin to show such a vicious look, wishing to skin and dismantle that Northern Xinjiang soldier.

Ming Wanzhao was as calm as before. He looked at the northern Xinjiang soldiers in front of him quietly, and said, "Take a group of people and go with me to capture Naxi. The corpse of the Yamen was sent to collect it. The rest guarded the city gate, and the whole city Search and arrest the Shago tribe, don't let anyone go, shoot and kill."

You Jin was stunned, he didn't expect Ming Wanzhao to be so decisive. He heard that during the war in Shengyuan, Emperor Shengyuan, a benevolent emperor, was extremely generous in releasing the living Northern Xinjiang people back.

However, Ming Wanzhao seemed to know why he was surprised, and said softly: "I am not a benevolent king, but I understand the principle of killing people for life. If no one can judge them and give me justice to the people, then I will come to ask for it myself."

You Jin was silent, sighing silently in his heart.

What kind of man did the master fall in love with?

Before the battle, You Jin was the commander in chief, but when he entered the city, he still had to obey Ming Wanzhao's order, and he was willing to carry out this order, so he immediately called the master, and followed Ming Wanzhao to search for it.

It's just that they went one step too late, the mansion was already empty, and Naxi was so frightened that he took his bedding and slipped away after hearing the news that the Xifu army had entered the city.

"Northern Xinjiang people killed Lu Chensong's father, and killed our generals and people."

"They should understand what blood debts are."

The hilt of the long sword sheathed in Ming Wanzhao's hand was still stained with dried blood, making him seem cruel and indifferent. Standing in front of the empty mansion, the emperor said: "Search, turn Dingyu upside down, and give him to me as well." I'll take it back."

Ming Wanzhao knew from the time he could remember that he was going to be the emperor of Daliang, and he also knew that this position was not limited to wealth and power.For Yu Ming Wanzhao in the past, this is the meaning of his life, and it is also the shackles that hold him. He can only go on this established route, and there is no other possibility.

Lu Yunchuan was the first accident he encountered.

He was moved again when he met the yellow and skinny refugees outside Zichuan City, and he suddenly understood that the emperor of Liang was still shouldering the wealth and lives of thousands of people.

One by one he is the king of Daliang.

So when he saw the tragic situation of the people, he couldn't remain indifferent. No matter how calm his face was, he clearly knew that his reason was close to

Burned with rage.

You Jin was not sure about this Majesty who was not showing any emotions, so he had to test: "Your Majesty, do you want to find a place to rest first?"

"No." Ming Wanzhao shook his head lightly, he wiped the Yunxi with a handkerchief, lowered his eyes and said: "I'm going to the street to have a look."

You Jin didn't dare to disobey, and he didn't feel at ease sending others to protect Ming Wanzhao, so he could only resign himself to his fate as the emperor's personal guard.

Ming Wanzhao was walking on the empty street, and occasionally ran past a few Northern Border soldiers who were fleeing in a hurry, followed by the Xifu army in pursuit, other than that, he didn't see a single commoner.

He let You Jin lead the way, and when he reached the yamen, the gate was dismantled, and standing outside, he could see corpses piled up like hills in the yard. In the cold winter, the corpses had not decayed yet, and they were just stacked one on top of the other. , twisted and intertwined.

The Xifu army was busy separating the frozen corpses, You Jin saw a familiar face among the pair of corpses, only a head was exposed among the stacked corpses, the blood on his face was frozen and was still bright red.

Dingyu Defense History, Chen Yunting.

Ming Wanzhao stood in front of the door and watched for a while, then turned and left without saying a word.

Compared to Dingyu, although Yuanlu was easy to attack and difficult to defend, Wei Yisu fought really hard. Zhebu is not Naxi, he is not that useless, he is a seasoned hunter!

So he fought for a full day and night, Wei Yisu only wanted to win, and the city was exhausted of wood and rolling stones, so he jumped up from the city wall under the rain of arrows.

The situation of Yuanlu was not much better than that of Dingyu, even the corpses of the Xifu army were hung on the tower, Wei Yisu was furious when he saw it, and after the people from Beijiang withdrew Yuanlu in a hurry, he ordered the corpses on the tower to be taken away. Take it down and bury it properly.

The recovery of Yuanlu was four days later than the recovery of Dingyu, but the few people left in the devastated city stayed behind closed doors. All burned out.

Wei Yisu also never heard from Lu Yunchuan.

On the contrary, when Ming Wanzhao was in Dingyu, he heard that the spies had come to report that Bianba had withdrawn his troops and was retreating in the direction of Dingyu.

Since he withdrew his troops, it proved that the trip was fruitless. Unlike the plan, he did not fight Yuchuan to the death, but chose to retreat decisively. Ming Wanzhao pondered for a while after hearing the news, knowing that Bianba was also a battle-tested man. He must have discovered something, so he wanted to retreat and stop losses in time.

If he returns to Dingyu with a large army, I'm afraid it will be a hard battle.

You Jin had already made preparations for the battle of defending the city, and he didn't even kill Naxi who had just been captured, and locked him up as a backup.However, within a day, the spies reported back that Bianba's army had bypassed Dingyu City!

Hearing the sound, Ming Wanzhao's complexion turned pale, and he said repeatedly: "Something's wrong, something's wrong."

Seeing him like this, You Jin also felt that Bianba was behaving strangely, so what was he going to do if he didn't hit Dingyu? !

"You Jin!" Ming Wanzhao said suddenly, "Where's Lu Yunchuan? Is there any news about him?"

"Not yet." You Jin understood Ming Wanzhao's worry in an instant, and his face sank instantly, "Zhebu has led his army back to the Liu'e River, the original Lucheng has been recovered, and Dingyu City has not been attacked, which means that the master Hold off the Shag reinforcements."

The hands in Ming's Zhao sleeve robe were clenched until his knuckles turned white, and the indescribable fear made his mind go blank for a moment. He didn't even know how trembling his voice was at the moment, and said sharply: "Prepare the horse, and take Naxi out of the city together!"

Snow was falling outside Dingyu City, falling like goose feathers, the sun could not be seen, and the clouds were gray and dull.

Ming Wanzhao galloped on his horse, the cold wind blew away the hood of pure white fox fur, his long hair was tied behind his head with a hairband, snow was accumulated on his black hair and robe, and the numerous snowflakes interfered with his movement Out of sight, only the whistling of the wind could be heard.

There are plains outside the city, and it is a vast expanse of whiteness.According to the pre-made plan, Lu Yunchuan should set up an ambush on Yang Xipo, but the fields outside the city are now covered with snow, and soon after Ming Wanzhao arrived in the west of the mausoleum, he got lost in this plain. Which way to go, he reined in his horse and stood there blankly.

You Jin led his men on horseback and chased after him, a Naxi was tied behind his horse, and he was dragged behind like a dead dog.Seeing Ming Wanzhao in the wind and snow, he hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, we are familiar with this place, and we can recognize the way even when it snows, don't worry, let's go one by one."

"Lead the way!" Ming Wanzhao's voice was so hoarse that he didn't realize it, and he didn't hear what You Jin said, only heard a sentence that recognized the way.

Without further ado, You Jin led the way.

In the vast snow, Ming Wanzhao knew what fear was for the first time in his life, even on the night of Ming Rongri's death, the nightmare of pouring rain never made him so afraid.

I'm afraid that everything about that cloud is just a flash of pearls, fleeting.
