Chapter 937: The War in Old Chu Begins, the Dragon and the Phoenix Return to Beiliang
On the Guangling River, countless warships were reduced to wreckage, and densely packed figures swam desperately towards the shore. One hundred thousand navy troops were defeated, and eight thousand Beikui troops were all destroyed. From the King of Guangling down, almost all the high-level officials of the palace died in the battle, and Guangling, one of the two powerful vassal states in Liyang, was destroyed.
Xu Xin returned gracefully, and Xu Fengnian, Xu Weixiong and others on the shore looked at him with extremely complicated eyes. Previously in Wudi City, although Xu Xin and Wang Xianzhi had a scene of fighting like gods, there was no army involved as a reference at that time, and the feeling was not so shocking.
But in today's battle, Xu Xin slaughtered five thousand elite cavalry and destroyed one hundred thousand navy troops. Relying on his own strength, he destroyed Guangling, a powerful vassal state in Liyang, head-on. Such a terrifying destructive power of one person destroying an army is scary to say, let alone seeing it with your own eyes.
"Cao Changqing, what do you think of my proposal that day?"
Xu Xin did not go to Xu Fengnian and Xu Weixiong first, but went to Cao Changqing again. He chose to destroy the Beikui Army and Guangling Navy in one battle today, which naturally had deep-seated reasons.
If Xu Xin just wanted to leave and kill the King of Guangling, in fact, there was no need to make such a big scene. Destroying the Guangling Beikui Army and the 100,000 Navy was not only to establish prestige, but also to stir up trouble.
The Guangling vassal covers the territory of the old Chu and part of the Dongyue Kingdom. Because of the high-pressure rule of the King of Guangling, the people were full of resentment. There have always been rebellions by the people who missed the old Chu, and more or less, the old Chu remnants headed by Cao Changqing were causing trouble.
Western Chu was defeated unfairly that year. It inexplicably declined from prosperity to destruction in one battle. In addition to the Beiliang Army fighting with their lives, there was also the influence of luck.
Zhao Huangchao raised an evil dragon in Difei Mountain, and stole the fate of the Western Chu. With the defeat of the Western Chu, the evil dragon had already become powerful, and naturally it would seriously injure the fate of the Western Chu. Therefore, after the defeat of the Western Chu, the military and civilians were affected by the luck, and the absurd thing happened that 180,000 people took off their armor and there was no man in the country.
The evil dragon became powerful, which was against the will of heaven. Li Yang's means of gaining the world were problematic. Under the guilt, he made stupid moves one after another. He did not think about governing the land, but just suppressed it blindly, which made him more unpopular. For so many years, he did not completely digest the land of the old Chu.
In fact, if Li Yang had not had a capable prime minister Zhang Julu, who took over the mess and reformed it to the maximum extent, so that Li Yang could get what it wanted, this would have maintained the rule of Li Yang. This person can be called the first minister of the time, and even Xu Xiao has to respectfully call him Mr. Zhang.
Xu Xin also valued this person a little.
As for the other Liyang officials, Yang Taisui, Yuan Benxi, etc., they are good at plotting and playing "chess games", and they are considered "smart people", but how capable are they to rule the world?
Killing all these guys will not have much impact. In fact, the world will be more peaceful without these idiots who like to play chess, and there will be fewer evil things that should not have happened, such as... the white-clothed case in Beijing.
Liyang is unpopular. Even if Xu Xin did not intervene, Cao Changqing would have made trouble to restore the country later. Now Xu Xin has destroyed the elite soldiers of Guangling, which has given Cao Changqing a better opportunity. It depends on whether he can seize it.
Cao Changqing looked at Xu Xin and said seriously, "What does the young prince want!"
Xu Xin smiled and said, "What the emperor is all empty talk. We have to find a way to collect debts from the Zhao family first. Only when the Zhao family falls can we think about other things."
"You, Cao Changqing, have always wanted to restore the country. Now is the opportunity. After Xi Chu is established and Bei Liang takes care of the beginning and the end, you and I will go to Tai'an together to collect debts from the emperor. I have said this. Now it depends on whether you have the courage."
"Why don't I, Cao Changqing, dare!"
Cao Changqing answered straightforwardly this time. His previous test was to learn about Xu Xin's ambitions for future plans, but Xu Xin simply said that he would take down the Zhao family first, which was indeed the most critical.
If the Zhao family does not fall, neither Xi Chu nor Bei Liang can be considered to be truly established. At most, they will just be divided into one side again.
"Okay, we will go back to Beiliang now. As for Xichu, I will leave it to you."
"Wei Shuyang, you four will stay as envoys."
"Ning Emei, you lead the Fengzi Camp to protect Beiliang Shijie's safety."
Cao Changqing answered straightforwardly, and Xu Xin's arrangement was even more straightforward. He asked Wei Shuyang and other four worshippers and Ning Emei and other Fengzi Camp people to stay as envoys to represent Beiliang and contact Cao Changqing and others.
Cao Changqing and others were actually a little confused about this step. Whether it was Wei Shuyang or Ning Emei, they were not considered high-level officials in Beiliang. It was not right to let them be envoys!
But Xu Xin would not tell them that it was actually his "Wu Ju". It was not good to bring hundreds of people at a time. The consumption was too great. It was better to leave these people behind.
"Your order!"
"I obey your order!"
Wei Shuyang, Ning Emei and others were also confused, but they didn't say much, just obeyed.
"Let's go! Go back to Beiliang!"
Xu Xin then looked at Xu Fengnian, Xu Weixiong and others. He just stretched out his hand and many women were taken to his side, while Xu Fengnian was thrown into the sky.
"Huang Man'er you..."
Xu Fengnian's shouting stopped abruptly, and a beam of light enveloped everyone, and Xu Xin and others disappeared by the Guangling River.
"Tsk tsk... This method is really incomprehensible. If I had known earlier, I would have gone back with him."
Beside Cao Changqing and Jiang Ni, Li Chungang, who broke through 3,000 armors with his sword, was amazed.
Xu Xin had not arranged for him before, nor did he need to arrange for him. Li Chungang was never a member of the Beiliang Palace. He only helped because Xu Xiao promised to protect Xu Fengnian as a favor. Now he stayed in the Western Chu land for Jiang Ni, his disciple.
"Princess, let's go!"
Cao Changqing looked at the direction where Xu Xin and the others disappeared, took a deep breath and sighed.
The Guangling Palace was almost completely destroyed in the battle. It was a good time for him to restore the Western Chu Kingdom. I'm afraid he will be busy in the next few days.
...
The war in the old Chu land started again. The mighty Western Chu restoration movement broke out ahead of schedule. With a beam of light descending on Lingzhou, Xu Xin and Xu Fengnian also returned to the Beiliang Palace.
"Ah!!!"
A scream came from the sky and stopped abruptly. Xu Fengnian was thrown into the sky by Xu Xin, but he did not land on his butt, but he rolled on the ground in a very embarrassed manner.
"Huang Man'er, why did you throw me up there?"
The first thing Xu Fengnian did after landing was, of course, to find trouble with Xu Xin to question him.
"There's no place for you. I can't let you take advantage of my second sister!"
Xu Xin pointed at the group of women around him. Although "No Distance" is powerful, it is a single-target skill after all. It consumes a lot of energy if you want to bring people. It consumes more energy if you bring multiple people at once. The "door" is also small, so it's not easy for Xu Fengnian to squeeze in. Of course, he was thrown over first.
"I...I, Huang Man'er, stop, I'm really angry, stop right there, Xu Xiao, is Xu Xiao back..."
Xu Fengnian wanted to say something, but Xu Xin simply didn't reply and took a group of women back to the Beiliang Palace. Xu Fengnian followed like a tail. As soon as he entered, he shouted that he wanted to find Xu Xiao. If he couldn't deal with his younger brother, could he not deal with his father!
