Chapter 414: Lu Yi Is Stimulated

Emperor Xia did not expect that his eldest son would go to the Northern Kingdom after he disappeared.

Not only did he go to the Northern Kingdom, he also won over Lu Chen, the rebellious son. The two of them actually colluded with each other.

Lu Chen attacked Heyang County, probably not for his own occupation, but to lend troops to the eldest prince, and then use the eldest prince as a pawn, so that the eldest prince and the court would continue to consume, and Lu Chen, the rebellious son, would watch from behind.

Emperor Xia's intuition was very sharp. Just by seeing the intelligence reported by the shadow guard, he basically guessed what the purpose of the Northern Kingdom's troops was.

After the morning court ended, Emperor Xia came directly to the Imperial Garden, where Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou were already waiting.

After hearing about the collusion between Lu Yi and the King of the North, Yu Changqing smiled and said, "It seems that the King of the North will probably lead his troops south soon."

Emperor Xia asked, "Why does Elder Yu think so?"

"He is now supporting the eldest prince and using him as his pawn to consume the power of the court. How could he go south in a short time?"

Yu Changqing said, "With the support of the old master of Xuanyue Palace, the King of the North cannot drag it on. In my opinion, he lent troops to the eldest prince and helped him build power. On the one hand, he was trying to test the strength of the court, and on the other hand, he planned to use this as an excuse to prepare for his southward march in the future."

"If the eldest prince really fights in the capital, I can guarantee that he will go south at the first opportunity under the slogan of serving the king."

After hearing what Yu Changqing said, Emperor Xia thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it.

If this is really the case, then he only needs to wait in the capital, and then let the King of Zhao lead his troops into the capital, and finally let the rebels led by the eldest prince pass. It won't be long before the King of the North will think that the opportunity has come, and then lead his troops to the south.

In this way, he doesn't have to worry about the King of the North staying in the North Country, and he can't do anything to him.

As long as the rebellious son leaves the North Country, he will definitely be able to get rid of him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia said: "I hope that the rebellious son will really do as you said."

Yu Changqing said at this time: "Since the King of the North has taken action, we have to speed up our actions here."

Emperor Xia said lightly: "The speed at which the weapon absorbs blood essence has obviously decreased, and it should not take long to be used again."

Yu Changqing said: "In this way, I am relieved."

Now basically everything is ready, just waiting for the King of the North to go south. As long as the King of the North goes south, the old palace master of Xuanyue Palace will definitely follow south, and then their forces will definitely decide the winner.

Emperor Xia thought that as long as the rebellious son died, he would be able to become a celestial being in a short time. Then he would take action to deal with Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou, and then immediately send troops to attack Xuanyue Palace.

In this way, no one in the entire Great Xia would be able to threaten his throne in the future, and other dynasties would also bow down to him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia couldn't help but slightly raise his mouth.

Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou, these two idiots, certainly didn't think of what the conditions for him to merge with the Dao were.

If they knew the conditions for his merger with the Dao, they would not have come to take the initiative to cooperate with him.

At this time, Emperor Xia felt very happy.

I will eventually become the final winner!

...

At the same time.

Shun'an City, the capital of Heyang County.

In the county governor's mansion, a fat man was drinking wine, watching the dancers twisting gracefully, and there was a beautiful girl on each side of him.

At this moment, a guard suddenly rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"

As soon as these words came out, the dancers in the hall stopped dancing and the music of the piano stopped.

The fat man's face darkened instantly. He threw the wine glass to the ground with a snap, and then said fiercely, "What's the matter? Can't you see that I'm eating!"

The guard was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!"

The man then waved his hand and said to the two beauties beside him, "You go down. I'm not interested at all now."

Hearing this, the two beauties beside him quickly left his side.

After the dancers and the piano player in the hall left, the man asked, "Tell me, what happened!"

The guard hurriedly said, "The eldest prince borrowed 200,000 troops from the Northern Kingdom and prepared to attack Heyang County. They are now only separated from Heyang County by a river."

As soon as these words came out, the man's face changed drastically and became extremely panicked.

"How...how could this happen..."

"I have only enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet, how could someone come to trouble me again..."

The man is the third son of King Huai. King Huai was originally his father. After King Huai was defeated and killed, Lu Yong fled the fiefdom with some of King Huai's men, and then occupied Heyang County without the permission of the court, and proclaimed himself king.

Originally, Lu Yong thought that the court was now too busy and the whole Daxia was in civil strife. The court would not send troops to attack them, and he could enjoy himself in Heyang County.

As a result, not long after that, the prince who failed in the mutiny actually ran to the Northern Kingdom to borrow 200,000 troops to attack him!

Those were soldiers from the Northern Kingdom!

He had also heard that the fighting power of the Northern Kingdom soldiers was so fierce.

Several times when the barbarians went south, they were defeated by the Northern Kingdom. Even the powerful dynasty Dawu went to war with the Northern Kingdom and was defeated in the end.

How could they with these few soldiers resist the Northern soldiers!

Just when Lu Yong was paralyzed on the ground and shivering, the guard asked tentatively: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, how about we surrender?"

"The eldest prince borrowed troops from the Northern Kingdom to attack Heyang County. He must be unwilling to accept the failure of the mutiny and is preparing to start over. If we join the eldest prince, he will not make things difficult for us."

Hearing this, Lu Yong suddenly came back to his senses, and he immediately scolded: "Surrender? Are you kidding! How can I surrender!"

"If I surrender, will I still have the good life now?"

"It doesn't matter how powerful the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom are. There is such a big river across them. As long as we set up defenses by the river, I don't believe they can fight over!"

"Call the generals immediately!"

Soon King Huai's former subordinates came to the hall. When they heard that the eldest prince was borrowing troops to attack, they were all very panicked. However, like Lu Yong, they suddenly thought of Youping County and Heyang. There is a big river between the counties.

If the eldest prince wants to attack Heyang County, he will inevitably cross the river. They only need to set up defenses by the river. No matter how powerful the soldiers from the North are, they will not be able to come over.

If those northern soldiers wanted to forcefully cross the river, they would only end up becoming dead souls in the water.

Thinking of this, King Huai's subordinates instantly became extremely optimistic.

…

By the Quanping River.

On the side of Youping County.

The soldiers in the North were busy building artillery positions. Lu Yi didn't know how the artillery was used. When he saw the big river in front of him, a worried look appeared in his eyes.

If they wanted to fight from Youping County, they had to cross the river, but with such a wide river, once they crossed, they would become a living target on the other side.

At this time, Lu Yi looked at Xuanyuan Chen next to him and asked, "How does General Xuanyuan think this battle should be fought?"

Although Xuanyuan Chen helped Lu Yi to gain territory, the commander of the war was still Xuanyuan Chen. Lu Yi wanted to see how Xuanyuan Chen planned to resolve the problem of crossing the river.

After Xuanyuan Chen glanced at the river in front of him, he was about to speak when a soldier came to Xuanyuan Chen and said, "Your Highness, general, the boat for crossing the river is ready!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen turned to look at Lu Yi and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that we will be able to reach the other side in less than three days."

Xuanyuan Chen did not directly answer Lu Yi's question. Lu Yi asked him how to fight this battle. It was obvious that he did not know the power of Northland's artillery.

They brought a lot of heavy artillery over this time. The range of these heavy artillery far exceeded the width of the river. With the artillery as cover, the Northern soldiers had no problem crossing the river.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Chen didn't answer him directly and looked so confident, Lu Yi frowned, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Xuanyuan Chen was not his.

At this time, Xuanyuan Chen took out a telescope and looked at the situation on the opposite river bank.

The other side seems to have reacted and is building defenses.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chen holding a strange object in his hand and looking into the distance, Lu Yi felt a little curious. He didn't know what Xuanyuan Chen was holding. He was about to ask when he saw Xuanyuan Chen directly hand over the telescope in his hand. Lu Yi said, "Your Highness, this is a telescope. You can clearly see the situation on the other side. Take a look."

Hearing this, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, but after seeing so many weird things in the North, especially after seeing such a huge thing as a train, Lu Yi no longer had the same surprised reaction as before when he saw new things. .

He took the telescope from Xuanyuan Chen and looked into the distance like Xuanyuan Chen did. He found that what was happening on the other side of the river was as if he was right in front of him, and it was extremely clear.

Lu Yi thought to himself that this thing is really useful and very suitable for detecting the enemy's situation.

When he thought of this, Lu Yi's heart was not particularly unbalanced. How could Lu Chen, a recognized waste, come up with so many useful and weird things after arriving in the North Country.

The Northern Kingdom is still a bitter cold land, and these things can be produced in such a poor place. So if his father had entrusted the Northern King to a richer place in the south, wouldn't the Northern King be able to fly by now?

Just when Lu Yi was wondering how the Northern King had these things, Xuanyuan Chen said from the side: "Your Highness, I plan to launch an attack on Heyang County tomorrow. What do you think?"

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's words, Lu Yi moved the telescope in front of him, then turned to look at Xuanyuan Chen and said, "Is General Xuanyuan sure?"

Xuanyuan Chen said: "I still said what I just said, we will be able to occupy the opposite side in less than three days."

Lu Yi said: "Then I will wait for the good news from General Xuanyuan!"

Lu Yi didn't think that Xuanyuan Chen could reach the opposite side in three days. He had just looked through the telescope and found that many soldiers had been stationed on the opposite side, and the fortifications and even catapults were ready. He wanted three days to reach the opposite side. Just take it, how easy it is there.

But now that Xuanyuan Chen has said it, Lu Yi doesn't want to say anything more. Xuanyuan Chen is not his own person anyway.

The more arrogant the Northern King's subordinates are, the better it is for him. If one day he and the Northern King fall out and a war breaks out, these arrogant generals are likely to become a disaster for the Northern Kingdom.

However, Lu Yi soon discovered that Xuanyuan Chen was not arrogant. On the contrary, Xuanyuan Chen's estimated time was somewhat conservative.

at the same time.

Opposite river bank.

A general in armor looked at the military camp where the soldiers from the North were stationed and said confidently: "I have long heard that the soldiers from the North are brave and good at fighting. They are very powerful. I asked this general to learn from him. I want to see what the soldiers from the North are like." How awesome!”

…

Early the next morning.

Lu Yi was still sleeping in the camp, but the deafening sound of drums woke him up. When he woke up, his face was very ugly.

He said to the guards outside the camp: "Chen Lie, what happened?"

The guard immediately entered the camp and said, "Back to Your Highness, General Xuanyuan has launched an attack!"

Hearing this, Lu Yi's face instantly darkened.

Although Xuanyuan Chen and the others were not his subordinates, they were sent by the Northern King to help him occupy Heyang County. As a result, these guys didn't say anything to him before launching an attack, and started beating drums directly, pretending that he didn't know anything about it. Existence is the same.

Feeling unhappy, Lu Yi didn't say anything. He got up and got dressed without eating breakfast, and went directly to the front position. He wanted to see how the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom fought.

As soon as Lu Yi arrived at the front line, the artillery position made a deafening sound. Lu Yi was not far from the artillery position. Every shelling seemed to directly impact his internal organs, making his body involuntarily tremble with the sound of the shelling. .

Soon, Lu Yi discovered that there was a sky full of mud on the other side. Lu Yi quickly asked someone to bring a telescope to observe the situation on the other side.

Lu Yi's legs couldn't help but start to tremble when he saw the iron balls fired by the artillery explode directly, sending King Huai's soldiers flying all over the sky.

Is this the power of these weapons!

very scary!

Lu Yi finally understood why the barbarians and Dawu were no longer opponents of the North Country. The power of these artillery had already caught up with the Grand Master's. The key was that there were enough weapons.

As long as the North Country can keep producing, even if a certain country or force has enough Grand Masters, it may not be the North Country's opponent. The constant consumption of these artillery may be able to drag a Grand Master to death.

Seeing the shells constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers on the other side, Lu Yi's face turned pale. What kind of war was this? It was just a one-sided massacre.

With the power of this artillery, would it take three days to reach the other side?

No, I'm afraid it won't even take an hour!

Lu Yi soon discovered that there were already Northern warships crossing the river.

These warships were temporarily modified, but the night shift on the warships was equipped with some small guns such as mortars. When the warships were approaching the other side of the river, some remaining soldiers of King Huai still wanted to resist, but they were defeated by a few cannons. was sent away.

The bombardment lasted for only about half an hour, and soon the flags of Lu Yi's personal guards were planted on the river bank fortifications on the opposite side.

Xuanyuan Chen and the others only helped Lu Yi occupy Heyang County, so the flag could not be from the Northern Kingdom.

Seeing the waving flag on the flagpole, Lu Yi sat down on the ground.

It stands to reason that he should be happy that the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom successfully crossed the river, and he will be able to capture Heyang County soon, and he will be able to make a comeback soon, but he is not happy at all at this moment.

Lu Yi was filled with fear when he thought that he might have to face the artillery from the North in the future.

If he had led a traditional army to launch a battle across the river, he might not have been able to defeat it within a few months. However, it took the Northern Army less than an hour to destroy the defenders on the other side.

What kind of war is this?

If one day the King of the North leads his troops southward, will it take less than a month to seize the capital and change the dynasty?

Lu Yi's personal guards quickly supported Lu Yi, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Your Highness..."

Lu Yi's eyes were dull at this time, as if he could no longer hear the outside world. He sat on the ground and looked at the smoke of artillery fire on the other side of the river.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yi's ears could gradually hear the voices of the guards. He said feebly: "Help me up."

The guards quickly helped Lu Yi up and helped him back to the camp.

The scene he saw today shocked Lu Yi deeply. He had never thought that the war could be so fast.

When Xuanyuan Chen sent troops to occupy the other side of the river, he came outside Lu Yi's camp. He originally planned to give Lu Yi a symbolic report on the battle situation, but Lu Yi's personal guards stopped Xuanyuan Chen directly and said: "General Xuanyuan, Your Highness If you are not feeling well, he will let you take full responsibility for this war. Just talk to him after you capture Heyang County. You don’t need to report to him in the middle.”

Xuanyuan Chen did not continue to pester, he cupped his hands and said: "I understand, then your highness should have a good rest."

…

after one day.

In Shun'an City.

Lu Yong was enjoying Mei Ji's service. At this moment, a group of generals poured into the hall.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here!"

…

The sudden influx of generals directly made Lu Yong feel stressed. His body became stiff instantly, and his fat body lay on Mei Ji's body, unable to get up.

Lu Yong said in horror: "How is that possible!"

"Impossible. With Quanpinghe resisting, how could the Northern soldiers cross the river so quickly?"

After seeing Lu Yong lying on his stomach, looking panicked and trying to get up but unable to get up, the generals became even more panicked.

They were the remnants of a defeated army. They finally found a safe place and thought they could continue their extravagant life here. However, the eldest prince broke their fantasy so quickly.

At this time, a general suddenly said: "You have seen the weapons used by the Northern Kingdom just now. If we continue like this, we will surely die."

Another general said: "Why not surrender? The eldest prince is in need of people now, and he will definitely not make things difficult for us."

After hearing their words, the fat pig Lu Yong lying on Mei Ji echoed: "Yes, surrender! I surrender!"

However, as soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Yong, and they revealed a fierce murderous intent.

The next moment, a general drew his sword and pierced Lu Yong and Mei Ji with one sword.

Lu Yong couldn't figure it out. It was these guys who supported him to take over his father's position, but they killed him like this. (End of this chapter)
