Chapter 68

"It should not be possible to defect to the Great Chu Dynasty."

Zhou Xin said in a deep voice with calm eyes.

Bai Wudang wondered, "Why is this?"

Zhou Xin glanced at Wudang, and sneered.

"If they really want to fall into the embrace of the Great Chu Dynasty, why should they allege with King Qi?"

Both Zhu Gaoyang and Bai Wudang were taken aback, and soon, Zhu Gaoyang's eyes lit up.

"That's right, with King Qi's background and position, even if he really wants to fight against foreign enemies, it is impossible to choose Da Chu. The Jin Ge Dynasty, which has repeatedly thrown olive branches to him and made great promises, is the best choice."

"What's more, King Qi is ambitious and unwilling to be under others, so the possibility of turning to foreign enemies is very small."

"Since this is the case, there is no reason for King Shahai, who has just entered into an alliance with King Qi, to join the Great Chu Dynasty."

Bai Wudang nodded suddenly, and then asked in doubt: "Then why did they send the envoy team? Could it be that they deliberately created the illusion of surrendering to the enemy and forced the imperial court to send troops?"

"You guessed it, this is their plan."

Zhou Xin smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "It seems that they are not generally cautious. If so, I will satisfy them."

Zhu Gaoyang was startled immediately, and said anxiously: "Could it be that His Majesty is going to send out the Imperial Army?"

Zhou Xin nodded, and said calmly, "What they want is for me to send the Imperial Army out?"

Zhu Gaoyang looked even more anxious, and hurried to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely must not! Although there is that secret person, he may not be trustworthy. If he suddenly betrays the water at a critical moment, the emperor will be in danger!"

"It's okay, even if he betrays the water, those rebels will never want to turn the world upside down!"

Zhou Xin waved his hands and looked up at the moon.

"Actually, this is a dangerous situation, but it is also an opportunity, an opportunity offered by the enemy. As long as it is properly arranged, the four states can be leveled!"

"If the current situation permits, it is not impossible to go one step further, even to cut down the six kings and flatten the six states!"

After the words fell, Zhou Xin's expression became more determined.

"Go, go back to the palace!"

……

Early the next morning, that is, on October 21, Cheng Long, the commander of the forbidden army, personally led [-] forbidden troops to rush out from the west gate of the imperial capital, and went on an expedition to Dingkunzhou.

At the same time, Nanyu Prefecture, the land of King Min.

Min Wangfu.

"Father, did we choose the wrong one?"

After sending away the Governor of Jing'an Division who delivered the oral order, Yan Changhong, the eldest son of Prince Min, looked at Prince Min Yan Feipeng with a rather unpleasant expression on his face.

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Yan Feipeng, who was chubby and looked like a rich man, took a sip of his tea and smiled.

Looking at Yan Feipeng, who was not in a hurry, Yan Changhong couldn't help feeling depressed.

"Father, how can you still laugh? Now the situation is very obvious. His Majesty the Emperor has no soldiers to use except for the remaining [-] imperial guards and the embarrassing patrol soldiers of the imperial capital."

"In this case, if other vassals rebel and send troops to the imperial capital, what can His Majesty do to resist?"

"It seems that His Majesty the emperor will not have much time, do you think we made a wrong choice?"

Yan Feipeng glared suddenly and threw the teacup over.

"Bastard! How dare you disrespect His Majesty?"

Yan Changhong took the teacup and shook his head helplessly.

"Father, I have sent everyone away, there will be no barriers."

"That can't be nonsense!"

Yan Feipeng snorted coldly, and then collapsed in the chair again.

"Remember what your sister sent back this morning?"

"I remember, 'The king's heart is as deep as the sea, and the emperor's power is unfathomable'. But what does this have to do with the current situation?"

Yan Changhong rubbed his head, a little puzzled.

Yan Feipeng shook his head helplessly, "You still don't understand your sister."

"Then tell me about the news that Youwei sent back five days ago."

"It seems to be 'The son is unparalleled in the world, and he is independent in the world'?"

Yan Changhong said after thinking carefully for a while, his expression was still very confused.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Yan Feipeng glared at Yan Changhong with hatred for iron and steel, but seeing that the latter was still stunned, he could only explain aloud.

"Although they are all words of praise, those two sentences five days ago were talking about His Majesty's talent, appearance, and temperament. Although it is praise, it can be used on the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Isn't it strange?"

"Looking back at the two sentences this morning, the meaning of warning is extremely strong."

"This not only shows that her understanding of His Majesty has changed greatly, but also implicitly reminds us that the invisible and unpredictable are the most dangerous."

"A few months ago, who would have thought that His Majesty, who has been confined in the palace and has almost no confidantes, would reverse the situation overnight and directly take charge of the government?"

"Just like right now, on the surface, it seems that His Majesty is indeed at the end of his rope, and he has almost nothing to back him up. But, who can guarantee that His Majesty has no other cards?"

"For example, Tianjilou mentioned before that His Majesty has set up a new elite department in the Jing'an Division. No one outside knows what the method is."

Yan Changhong froze for a moment, pinched his nose and pondered for a while, then nodded thoughtfully.

"Father said the same thing. Although His Majesty the Emperor is still young, his mind and means are extraordinary. It is not impossible to say that he still has some cards in the dark."

Yan Feipeng nodded in satisfaction, and then exhorted: "This is just one of them. Remember, since we have made a choice, we can no longer look forward and backward, and have half-hearted thoughts."

"This is the same as doing business. Indecision will only make us miss good opportunities, and even lose a lot and lose forever!"

Yan Changhong took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"Yes! Father, the child understands!"

Yan Feipeng yawned, then waved his hand.

"Well, it's good to understand. Go ahead, do a good job in the expedition, especially the supply of food, grass, and luggage. We need to bear the expenses of the imperial army."

"After the arrangements are made, troops can be dispatched in the evening."

"Yes!"

Yan Changhong bowed his head and saluted, then left quickly.

Nanyu Prefecture was the granary of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and King Min's vassal land also had the most grain storage among all the vassals, so it was nothing at all to provide for the [-] imperial troops.

……

After noon, Chichuan Beach.

Chichuan Beach is located in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Anfeng Prefecture. It is named because it is a large flat beach like a river where it meets the sea.

On a lookout post, two soldiers were chatting listlessly.

At a certain moment, when one of the soldiers inadvertently glanced at the distant sea, his eyes suddenly fixed, and then the pupils gradually dilated, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Because, at the end of the line of sight, dense black shadows are leaping out, they are ships of different sizes and flying flags!

At a glance, there are at least hundreds of ships.

The soldier's mouth widened rapidly, and just as he was about to roar out, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced through the man's throat from tens of meters away, blocking his voice in the throat.

The hot blood spattered on the other person's cheek. The person was stunned, then quickly grabbed the small hammer, and swung his arm to strike the alarm gong hanging on the wooden post.

However, three consecutive sharp arrows pierced the sea water, hitting the man's right arm, chest and temple respectively, successfully preventing the alarm from ringing.

At the same time, similar scenes were happening on other lookout posts, and figures in water ghost suits slowly poked their heads out of the sea, and quietly touched the shore not far away.

There were about 300 of these people, and they were divided into six arrays and walked a hundred steps apart. They had short crossbows hanging on their backs, bows and arrows in their hands, swords on their left waists, and water thorns on their right waists. They were fully armed, The formation is orderly, obviously the elite of the water ghosts.

As the 300 people gradually entered the inside, their whereabouts were finally revealed.

Although the thousand-man team left behind by the Pingyuan East Guard was in shock, after realizing that the opponent's number was limited, they began to counterattack by relying on defensive equipment and familiarity with the terrain.

The two sides fought for a while, when most of the [-] water ghosts were killed and injured, and only a hundred people were forced to the sea, the guard soldiers who were chasing after them suddenly stopped in unison.

"Russian bitch!!"

Seeing the densely packed ships occupying most of the sea in front of him, a veteran swallowed with a thud, and while murmuring and screaming, his eyes widened.

"It's from Silla!"

A soldier who was still awake shouted, his tone trembling.

The Silla people are not scary, on the contrary, they are always the object of their ridicule, because the fighting power of the Silla people is really not to be flattered.

However, when there are less than 10,000 people on one side, and at least [-]+ on the opponent, even if the opponent is a group of wild boars, it is enough to make people tremble!

"Withdraw! Withdraw!!"

A centurion suddenly hissed, but this voice was quickly suppressed by the shrill and dense sound of piercing through the air.

Many people even forgot to run when they saw the rain of arrows shooting out from dozens of ships in front of them.

At this moment, not only did his legs not obey the command, but even his head seemed to be no longer under his control.

……

On the surface of the sea, on a flagship with a length of more than a hundred feet, watching the soldiers of the Eastern Guard Station being submerged in the rain of arrows, a golden-armored veteran standing on the eighth deck slapped the armrest heavily, his eyes gleaming .

His name is Wei Gaoshuang, he was the general who conquered the North of the Silla Dynasty, and he was also the commander of this expedition to the Great Zhou.

"Pass down the commander-in-chief's order! First, order the Qingqi Battalion to land first, and make sure to leave all the enemy soldiers behind!"

"Secondly, order the engineering battalion to immediately build a pontoon bridge and transport soldiers to land!"

"Thirdly, order the former army to be responsible for vigilance, collecting documents left behind by the enemy camp, etc.!"

"Fourth..."

Time passed quickly, and pontoon bridges stretched from the coast to troop carriers within a hundred feet, continuously transporting soldiers, war horses, and war weapons to the shore.

It's just that there are too many Silla troops. Even if more than two hours have passed, only 10,000+ troops have landed.

When the sun was setting, the landed army finally exceeded 20, and only a little over [-] were still being transported to the shore one by one.

After such a long time, there has been no abnormality, and the vigilant soldiers have relaxed their minds.

At this moment, the sound of shouting and killing all over the sky suddenly sounded from the east and west directions...
