Chapter 1511 Chapter 816 Chaos

There were screams, howls, and the sound of landing... The thick smell of blood filled the air at once, and even the mountain wind seemed to suddenly become gloomy and cold, and the valley changed in the blink of an eye. Become a gate of hell!

Seeing the death of hundreds of soldiers of the Dayu Army beside him in the blink of an eye, Li Duzhong's pupils shrank slightly, and he was in a state of uncertainty and anxiety. He didn't know how many crossbowmen and southern border soldiers were lurking around, so he could only grit his teeth and shout loudly: "Stop! Xiao Shizi, this general has an imperial edict! This general will read the imperial edict immediately!"

Xiao Yiman made a gesture inadvertently, and the next moment, the iron arrows like a meteor shower stopped, and the surroundings regained tranquility again.

However, the thick smell of blood in the air and the dead soldiers around him all reminded Li Duzhong, the prince of Zhennan, to be brutal, brutal and bloodthirsty.

Li Duzhong calmed down and advised himself to stay calm. When he read the imperial decree, Xiao Yi would no longer be the prince of Zhennan, so would these southern soldiers under his command still obey his orders? !

The official family and the official family army were like this in the past, and now the Zhennan Palace is just repeating the same mistakes!

Li Du Zhong's eyes were even colder, he stretched out his arms, unfolded the imperial decree in his hand, cleared his throat, and began to read aloud.

He didn't know how many times he had read this imperial decree along the way, even with his eyes closed, he could recite it back and forth:

"Fengtian, the emperor decreed: Xiao Shen, the king of Zhennan, has been guarding the southern border since his father's generation, and he has announced that he has been working for a long time, and relieved Dayu's worries. However, now Xiao Shen and his son are self-defeating, using military force, and rebelling against the will of the Holy Spirit. He is an unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous generation, humiliating his ancestors! The crime is unforgivable, and his father and son Zhennan Wang and the vassal are removed from their titles, and they are turned over to the Zhennan Great Seal and escorted into the dynasty!"

Following the words "Qin this", Li Du Zhong's icy cold eyes like sharp arrows shot at Xiao Yi relentlessly, "Xiao Yi, don't you kneel down to accept the order!"

Xiao Yi was still sitting astride his dark clouds and stepping on the snow, with a bright smile on his face as usual, he turned to look at Pei Yuanchen beside him, and sighed with a smile: "Another false edict!"

Li Duzhong's arrogant face changed instantly, his heart was flustered, but he pointed at Xiao Yi's nose and said: "Xiao Yi! You dare to resist!"

Xiao Yi looked straight at Li Duzhong, his face straightened, his smiling voice suddenly turned cold, and he raised his voice and said word by word, "Those who falsely preach the imperial edict will be killed without mercy!"

His voice was not loud, but it resounded through the entire valley, causing Dayu Jun, who was already in a state of dismay, to feel even more uneasy.

Li Duzhong's pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Shield soldiers come forward!"

Hundreds of shield soldiers behind Li Duzhong hurriedly held their shields and tried to line up, but only two or three steps were taken, the "dark cloud" had arrived, and the continuous iron arrows poured down like a hurricane. Under the attack of countless iron arrows like a violent storm, the shield soldiers of the shield were unable to move at all, like a few weeds swaying in the wind and rain, and they would be uprooted at some point.

In the sound of the air breaking, the horses and the people were in a mess, and the neighs of the horses and the hooves of the horses sounded alternately...

The formation of the 10,000-strong army has been completely chaotic, and what is even more chaotic is the people's hearts.

The situation is out of control!

Under the escort of several personal soldiers, Li Du Zhong retreated back step by step in embarrassment. Only then did he realize that Xiao Yi and the two or three hundred Southern Border Army had disappeared in front.

Oops! Li Duzhong's heart skipped a beat, and the alarm bell rang loudly. Now that the army's heart is in chaos, it is impossible to gather together again in a short time.

10,000 Great Yu troops crowded into this narrow valley, and it was easier said than done to retreat, but at the click of a finger, the entire valley was completely chaotic, and tens of thousands of iron arrows shot on shields, armor, horses... A cold and cruel voice that lasted for a long time...

At this moment, Xiao Yi and the three hundred new battalions had already withdrawn from the valley. He stopped his horses outside the valley, and ordered the three hundred soldiers to stand at the entrance of the valley and wait for the rabbits.

"Brother-in-law," Xiao Yi once again looked at Pei Yuanchen, who had a complicated expression, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think of Da Yujun?"

The scene just now was deeply imprinted in Pei Yuanchen's heart, which made his mind unable to calm down for a long time. Xiao Yi's boldness exceeded his expectations, and Da Yujun...

Pei Yuanchen's expression became a bit bitter, and he said slowly and almost with difficulty: "Da Yu has been too slack these years..."

It is no wonder that before Han Huaijun and the Nanjiang Army hurried to the Western Xinjiang, the Western Xinjiang Army was beaten by Xiye and lost in a row, and it was not until now that he saw it with his own eyes that he finally realized it.

The entire 10,000 Dayu army in front of him was completely suppressed by 3,000 people in the Southern Border Military Region. Even if Xiao Yi had the advantage of the terrain and the first opportunity, the more reason was Dayu himself. Yu Jun was too lax and lacked actual combat.

When the two armies are fighting, they will not wait for you to set up a battle as in the opera before starting the war!

But……

Pei Yuanchen looked at Xiao Yi with deep eyes. Xiao Yi had just fought against Dayu's army directly. Could it be that the Zhennan Palace was going to rebel against it openly? !

Xiao Yi naturally saw Pei Yuanchen's thoughts, smiled slightly, but did not say a word.

Almost in the next instant, there were bursts of loud voices from the valley:

"The descendants do not kill!"

"The descendants do not kill!"

"..."

The sound is louder than the sound, rushing straight into the sky like a dragon's roar, and hitting people's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Pei Yuanchen's eyes looked in the direction of the valley.

In the valley, the sound of abandoning weapons and kneeling came one after another, and the surviving seven or eight thousand soldiers of the Dayu Army knelt on the ground one by one, and then the sound of arrows breaking through the air stopped. Seeing this, there were more Dayu soldiers kneeling, just like dumplings, all of them put their heads in their hands, disarmed and begged to surrender.

These kneeling soldiers looked down at the ground covered with gravel and corpses, no longer murderous.

This is no longer a charging army, but a cowardly descending soldier.

Seeing the general trend, Li Du Zhong rolled over from his horse in embarrassment, and knelt down with a plop...

The big picture is set!

Pei Yuanchen stood there in a daze, and the scene in front of him was more deeply engraved in Pei Yuanchen's heart than the chaos just now. Instead of heaving a sigh of relief, his heart became heavier...

Dayu soldiers are so weak and will decline so far, on the contrary, Southern Border is showing its edge!

Moreover, I am afraid that before he went to Luoyue City, Xiao Yi should have received the news that Wang was about to withdraw from his vassal, right? Otherwise, how could Xiao Yi bring himself here to join in the fun in such a timely manner! The Zhennan Prince's Mansion may have sent people to the capital for a long time, but the emperor knew nothing about the southern border, and even the southern border's attack on Xiye was also heard from the mouth of the envoy of Xiye...

The emperor is weak, the vassal king is strong.

In Pei Yuanchen's complicated eyes, more than an hour later, the battlefield was initially cleaned up. After that, the 3,000 cutting-edge battalions took 8,000 rich prisoners and headed south, all the way to Yanding City and Yongjia City. , Dengli City area.

These three cities have been recuperating since the war with Nanliang two years ago. The city walls still bear the traces left by the war. The population of the city and nearby villages has nearly halved, with fewer people and more land, so that the countryside is deserted. , the economy stagnated.

Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai had also intentionally taken some measures for a long time, but they were suffering from insufficient manpower.

Now it's good, the emperor sent him a manpower "kindly", then they won't waste the emperor's heart!

Xiao Yi immediately ordered more than 3,000 prisoners to be dispersed into several small teams to help reclaim wasteland for dozens of miles around;

Once this level is completed, it is like the southern border of the southern border has a solid gate. Once there is another enemy attack, this level can earn enough time for the southern border, so as not to repeat the same mistakes!

Two days later, they embarked on the return journey back to Luoyue City, and Pei Yuanchen had been living like a dream for the past few days.

Although Pei Yuanchen knew before coming to Southern Xinjiang that even if there are not many troops stationed in Southern Xinjiang, Dayu alone could not do anything to Southern Xinjiang, but he did not expect to lose so easily, so embarrassedly, and so indignant... Mingming Dayu is also a country that has been conquered immediately. Has it been reduced to such a point in just a few decades? !

Since when did Da Yu start to decline?

Whether it was from the collapse of the official family nine years ago, or more than five years ago, when Dayu begged for Xiye, even at the expense of a princess and kissing Xiye, or this time Xiye strikes again...

Thinking of the capital, the court, and what I have seen and heard in Yanding City, Yongjia City and Dengli City in the past two days, the scars left by Nanliang's invasion of the territory are still vivid in the past. It is conceivable that How brutal the war was.

However, under the leadership of the Zhennan Palace, the Southern Border Army expelled Nanliang and Baiyue one by one. This is the style of a great country. Those who violate our country will be punished even if they are far away!

Pei Yuanchen's heart was agitated for a while, and then gradually calmed down. There were thousands of thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. Or, he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to think deeply...

In this tangled state of mind, the group of them returned to Luoyue City in a mighty way.

"Eldest brother-in-law, this journey has been hard work, and you should rest well in the mansion... Other things will be discussed in two days."

Xiao Yi patted Pei Yuanchen on the shoulder with a smile, looking like he was heartless, just like when Pei Yuanchen arrived in Luoyue City last time, it seemed that what happened in the past few days had no effect on him.

The two broke up outside Dongyi's door, and Xiao Yi couldn't wait to return to his yard, walking briskly.

This time, probably because he hasn't been out long enough, as soon as the little guy saw him, he enthusiastically raised his hands and called Daddy.

When Xiao Yi saw the virtue of this stinky boy, he knew that he was going to play Feifei, and he let him fly twice as he wished.

The successful little guy was so happy that he stuck with Xiao Yi. Even if Xiao Yi went to the clean room, he followed behind his father like a small tail.

When Xiao Yi thought about it, he simply "kindly" took the little guy to soak in the hot water of the bathtub.

"Crash..."

There was a splash of water, and the little guy let out a "wow", and then heard a "meow" sound. Xiaoju didn't know when he hid in the clean room, and was now squatting on the desk with a sympathetic face. Look at Xiao Xiaoyu.

"Meow!" The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw the chubby little orange. With the good intentions that good things should be shared with his good friends, he stretched out his arms like lotus roots to Xiaoju.

As if frightened by something, Xiaoju nimbly jumped off the table, ran outside, stopped at the door curtain and looked at Xiao Xiaoyu with sympathy and helplessness, his eyes seemed to be sighing, Hey, it doesn't know why these people like to wash the cat in the water so much, sorry, it can't help much either! Bless yourself!

The little orange ran away like a fly, and the little guy called "meow" twice, and was quickly attracted by the sound of water provoked by his father.

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

The sound of water seemed to have a magical power to the little guy. He shouted excitedly and slapped the water in the tub.

The fate of father and son playing with water in the tub is to make a mess in the clean room. Nangong Yue, who didn't want to get wet clothes, ran away for a long time, leaving Xiao Yi to serve their little guy...

Half an hour later, the father and son, whose cheeks were smoked like peach blossoms, finally came out of the clean room. The nurse and a few maids immediately took over the sleepy grandson and left the inner room, leaving this space for The Prince and the Concubine.

It was warm in the inner room, and a pot of silver frost charcoal was burning in the corner.

Nangong Yue had already prepared a clean white towel and stood in front of the dressing table waiting for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi immediately couldn't wait to sit on the stool in front of the dressing table, feeling complacent, he finally didn't play with that stinky boy in vain just now...

He smiled and looked at Nangong Yue, who was reflected in the bronze mirror, and let her help him dry his long hair, squinting his beautiful peach eyes as comfortably as a big cat being served just right.

Seeing the faint tiredness in Xiao Yi's eyes, Nangong Yue felt a little distressed in her heart, and her voice subconsciously softened: "Is everything resolved?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes seemed to say, there is nothing that this prince can't solve!

After that, he explained the events of the past few days in general, and gradually, a trace of sharpness appeared between his lazy eyebrows.

"... This time, I should give the emperor a shock, lest they always deceive me when there is no one in the southern border, and send imperial envoys to deliver orders at any time!"

The movements of Nangong Yue's subordinates stopped for a while, seemingly thoughtful, and then continued to run the comb through his hair for him, again and again, impatiently...

After a moment of silence, Nangong Yue asked hesitantly, "Ayi, is there a shortage of troops in the southern border now?" Xiao Yi was actually a bit risky with 3,000 new battalions against the 10,000 Da Yu army, so why did he do this? Woolen cloth? ! This is the only reason Nangong Yue can think of.

Xiao Yi turned around and waved to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue bowed her head in doubt, Xiao Yi quickly kissed her on the corner of the mouth, and then smiled sly and contentedly like a stingy cat.

"My Ah Yue is so smart!"

He took Nangong Yue's hand, played with her slender fingers with great interest, and continued:

"The Southern Xinjiang Army has suffered a lot from the wars in the past few years. In addition, the recruits recruited in the past few years are worth 220,000. Now, the 130,000 army is in Xiye. Yao Lianghang is leading 10,000 people in the Western Xinjiang. There are 10,000 people in Baiyue and Nanliang, and 20,000 people scattered in various borders and cities in the southern border..."

Xiao Yi calmly and Nangong Yue analyzed the current military situation in the southern border.

Nangong Yue listened attentively, even if she didn't know the art of war, she would still be able to learn. This plus and minus, it is clear that there are really not many soldiers left behind in the Luoyue City camp now!

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, and she probably understood that Xiao Yi's capture of the 8,000 Great Yujun this time was like killing two birds with one stone:

As a result, these manpower can be used to build levels and reclaim wasteland;

Second, and the most important point, is to first shock the emperor with the momentum of thunder.

If the emperor really recklessly mobilizes the power of the whole country to the south, then the now empty southern border will usher in a hard battle. !

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue clasped their fingers together and said, "Now, the recruits are not available for the time being, and they have to train for a year and a half. We can only wait until the Western Night is generally settled, and then transfer the army back to the southern border. The situation in Xinjiang can only be stabilized.”

In fact, long before he and Guan Yubai set off on the West Night, Guan Yubai had told him that their expedition to the West Night was actually very risky...

However, Xiao Yi felt that the opportunity could not be missed!

The opportunity this time is based on the premise that Xiye has sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the western border. If the two sides face off head-to-head, then Xiye probably won’t be able to defeat them in a few months this time!

With their knowledge of the emperor, this risk is worth the challenge!

The time will never come, this time is the best time to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Guan Yubai for many years!

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi's eyes were shining like an eagle aiming at its prey, and he continued: "Anyway, the capital of Xiye has been conquered, and Xiye is nothing to be afraid of. It's just because the King of Xiye is dead, there is no backbone. The twelve tribes of Xiye are now broken up and govern themselves. Although they can't raise any major storms, they will not be completely convinced by the Southern Border Army. Next, Xiye is expected to be in chaos for a while. Now, Xiaohezi is in charge for the time being. , but I guess it can't be held back..."

That's why Guan Yubai rushed back to Xiye in such a hurry. Nangong Yue thought with understanding.

Xiao Yi touched his chin and continued: "The twelve Xiye clans are still a trivial matter, the trouble is that Xiye's army of 100,000 people is trapped in Feixia Mountain and Yunzhong County. After breaking the news of Wang's death, they are desperately counterattacking, trying to rush back to Xiye to turn things around..."

such a pity! How can it be so easy!

How can they spit out the fish that has already been eaten in their mouths!

As early as when he took the capital of Xiye, Guan Yubai immediately sent 30,000 Southern Border troops to the junction of Xiye and Yunzhong County. Soon, there will be a desperate battle there!

However, the Xiye King is dead, the Xiye army is distraught, and it is already at the end of the force. There are Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun in the western border, and Guan Yubai has already rushed to preside over the overall situation. In this battle, they will win!

"Half a year. At most half a year, and the overall situation can be determined!"

Xiao Yi showed an inevitable smile, and Zhang Li's face became brighter in the dim candlelight.

"With Xiaobai here, we'll be waiting for the good news in Southern Border!" Xiao Yi said with a smile on his lips.

Nangong Yue resisted the urge to shake her head and sigh, almost sympathizing with Guan Yubai.

It's not easy to be a "good friend" like A Yi in the past and present!

Xiao Yi seemed to see Nangong Yue's thoughts and pouted in grievance.

He and Xiaobai are doing their jobs, okay? !

His immediate priority is to sit in the southern border and shock Dayu!

Nangong Yue hurriedly graciously smoothed his hair.

Xiao Yi gave her a look of encouragement, showing her face again. He raised his eyebrows, touched his nose and said, "Speaking of which, the emperor should have received the military report from Feixia Mountain."

Nangong Yue was stunned, her eyes half drooping, and there seemed to be a sigh in the room, and then it became quiet again...

As Xiao Yi expected, the emperor once again received a military report from Feixia Mountain on February 19th.

Since a month ago, the envoy of Xiye came to the capital, angered Xiao Yi for leading the army to launch a sneak attack on Xiye, and threatened to send the 80,000 Xiye troops from Feixia Mountain to march eastward at any time. The emperor has been unable to sleep and eat for the past month. install……

I thought this was already the worst situation, but I didn't expect that the situation in Western Xinjiang was still going from bad to worse!

According to this military newspaper, the Southern Xinjiang Army has occupied several cities in the Western Xinjiang together with Han Huaijun, cutting off the 80,000 army under Tahai and the 30,000 Xiye army in Yunzhong County. This move completely annoyed Xiye. people, causing Tahai to order a frantic counter-offensive against the Southern Border Army...
