Text Chapter 2178 The Emperor Leads the Army in Person
Just now he was talking about the Guards attacking Niu Youde, but in the blink of an eye the Guards were attacking here again. Kou Lingxu said with a sullen face: "Has the situation been confirmed?"
Tang Henian: "There should be no mistake. There were more than one places attacked, so there can't be mistakes everywhere, right?"
Kou Lingxu gritted his teeth and said, "What does Master Qing want to do?"
This was not over yet. Tang Henian made another contact with the star bell in his hand, and then reported urgently: "Your Majesty, the 500 million monk soldiers in the Paradise of Paradise have left seclusion and appeared in the territory of our Northern Army."
Kou Lingxu's face was gloomy. At first, he thought that the group of troops prepared by Paradise was used to deter the Eastern Army from mishaps. Who would have thought that now the Guards are attacking his territory. The matter with the Eastern Army has been resolved. The men and horses still ran out. What did they want to do?
His first thought was that Master Qing wanted to attack him or something, and he said in a deep voice: "Notify the troops to urgently seal off the star field where the troops from Paradise appear, order troops from all over the place to assemble for self-defense, prevent the Guards from gathering in a proper manner, and attack All our Guards will be annihilated!"
"Yes!" Tang Henian immediately conveyed the order.
Kou Lingxu urgently took out the star bell to contact Miao Yi and others, wanting to confirm what was going on on their side. If a war really started, his family would be in trouble and would have to seek support from other families...
In the courtyard of a deep house in a prosperous city, Cao Man stood silently under a tree.
Qi Jue arrived and reported: "Master, the execution is already underway. Those family members should be transferred soon."
Cao Man looked hesitant and said: "Who are these family members of the Guards, and they are worthy of the old man's greetings and emphasis on their safe transfer?"
Qi Jue said: "I just checked by the way, and found out a common point from the resumes of those people. When Niu Youde was in the Guards, these people all served under Niu Youde. They are all The half of the Tiger Banner troops who survived the bloody battle with Niu Youde in Youding Territory!"
"It's them?" Cao Man was surprised. He didn't expect that the old man would even scrap the men lurking in the Guards for these people...
In the Palace of Heaven and the Palace of Stars, Master Qing was sitting quietly behind the case, closing his eyes and recuperating. The war had begun. He was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was hoping for victory.
However, Wu Qu, who put down the star bell in his hand, changed his expression greatly and said urgently: "Your Majesty, something bad happened. When Qu Changtian's troops were approaching the target location to attack, they were besieged by 1.5 billion troops of the Southern Army. Niu Youde seems to have been prepared, and Qu Changtian’s men seem to have fallen into the trap set by Niu Youde!”
Shangguan Qing suddenly raised his head, and Sima Wentian's eyes were full of shock.
Gao Guan frowned. After the attack started, there was no need to hide things from him anymore, so he recruited him to follow the order together.
Qingzhu, who suddenly opened his eyes, stood up slowly and said angrily: "Let Hua Yitian's troops rush to help immediately!"
The star bell in Wu Qu's hand moved again, and after a brief contact, Wu Qu said bitterly: "General Qu Changtian led an army of 50 million to block the star gate exit of the destination. As a result, he encountered 500 million soldiers led by Marshal Silu Heng Wudao. The army is besieging us and we are in danger! Your Majesty, Niu Youde has deployed an army of two billion to wait for us. It seems that he has already understood our attack plan!"
"Have Hua Yitian's troops rush to rescue at full speed immediately!" Qingzhu shouted angrily.
However, just as Wu Qu mentioned the Star Bell, another news came. This time Wu Qu's face turned really ugly. He slowly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, as soon as the 300 million army led by Hua Yitian made a move, they immediately Encountered a siege by an army of 1.5 billion!"
Qingzhu was furious, pointed at him and yelled: "Where did another 1.5 billion army appear?"
Wu Qu shook his head with difficulty and said: "They are Cheng Taize's troops, Cheng Taize's 1.5 billion army, Hua Yitian and the others are in danger!"
"Cheng Taize! Don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will cut you to death with a thousand knives!" Master Qing punched the case with a ferocious look on his face. He had previously expressed his displeasure at the disappearance of Cheng Taize's men. He had doubts, so he sacrificed the spies stationed in Niuwang Mansion to test the left side of the supervision. The results of the tests dispelled his doubts, and he was able to send troops with confidence. Now it seems that it was a joke. The other party clearly judged his intentions. , when a general comes, he will take advantage of it.
At first, he thought that Niu Youde knew about his plan because someone here leaked the secret. Now it seems that this is not the case at all, because he did not confide in anyone when he first hatched the plan, and Niu Youde What De has done is to unite several companies to force him to give up his support for Cheng Taize under the guise of Huanggu ambush. Niu Youde has been plotting to capture Cheng Taize's men for a long time. This is Cheng Taize was forced to a dead end and had to take refuge in Niu Youde.
As soon as he understood this, Qingzhu said bitterly, "What a shame, you are a bull thief. It was because I was blind back then that I was in danger of raising tigers!"
After another contact with the star bell in Wu Qu's hand, he said in grief and anger: "Your Majesty, the 400 million stragglers in the Southern Army were following orders, but unexpectedly the Netherworld rebels suddenly reconciled with the Southern Army's counter-rebellion troops and turned their guns. Head, defeating our tens of millions of troops in one fell swoop! Niu Youde's army of one billion began to gather to guard the main road, while the rebels were chasing our scattered troops! If this continues, our scattered troops will be everywhere at the pass! If they are blocked, the rebels are allowed to go all the way, and they will hunt down our troops wantonly!"
Master Qing's face was livid. He could imagine the consequences. The troops he mobilized for Qing Yuan Zun were already the elite of the Guards. After becoming the Netherworld Army, they have truly improved their strength for so many years with peace of mind. This If tens of millions of people gathered together to cause trouble, his tens of millions of Guardsmen and horses dispersed throughout the Confederate Army probably would not be able to be stopped.
He had originally prepared to raise this elite force as a sharp knife to stab Niu Youde, but now Niu Youde used it to stab him.
At this moment, he was so angry that he wanted to capture Xiahou Chengyu and his son and cut them into pieces.
Because the Nether Rebels suddenly turned to Niu Youde, he suspected something. Why didn't they support Cheng Taize when several parties joined forces to support Tengfei to occupy the East Army's territory? Niu Youde's steps to force Cheng Taize to surrender were already very clear. When he thought about Tengfei's troubles in the harem, he now had every reason to suspect that Tengfei's picking out the cold palace was not related to Niu Youde, and Tengfei was most likely used by Niu Youde.
The cold palace incident caused Xiahou Chengyu and his son to launch a mutiny in the Nether Rebels. Now the Nether Rebels easily turned to Niu Youde. When Niu Youde decided to quell the rebellion, he easily killed his son Qing Yuanzun. It would be strange if there was no trick.
From this reasoning, it is entirely possible to believe that Niu Youde was behind the incident in the cold palace. He deliberately wanted to make the father and son turn against each other so that he could take down the Netherworld Army, and then use a series of means to operate the Eastern Army to take down Cheng Taize's troops, until he fell into the trap.
The course of events instantly became clear in his mind. When he thought of the scene of his son's head in the box, Qingzhu's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He also had to admit that such a series of means were really brilliant, so brilliant that it made people feel terrified!
When Niu Youde overthrew Hao Defang, he was eager to get rid of him. In fact, it was because he felt that Niu Youde's means of dealing with Hao Defang were too brilliant, and he had already felt terrified in his heart. It was not entirely because of the Xiahou family. Now the thing that made him terrified finally happened to him.
He really couldn't figure out what the Xiahou family was thinking. Is it safe to cooperate with someone who has such a means of turning the tide? Why did they help him get rid of Bai Lao San back then? Isn't it because your Xiahou family is also afraid of Bai Lao San?
He also admitted that he was inferior to Bai Lao San in all aspects!
He once again lamented that Xiahou Tuo died too early. Cao Man was so confused that he was dancing with wolves. There will always be a day when your Xiahou family will regret it!
Of course, he also suspected that it was because he angered Niu Youde in the ancient ambush, so that Niu Youde was willing to perish with him.
Thinking of this, he regretted it a little. This is the consequence of arbitrarily moving the powerful officials below.
Listening to Wu Qu's report, Shangguan Qing and Sima Wentian were shocked. They all said that Niu Youde was good at fighting. Today, he had a hard lesson. He turned the passive into the active. It was like pinching the seven inches of the Tiangong and stabbing it hard!
"Your Majesty, please order the 400 million troops to withdraw immediately and gather the troops first. Otherwise, they will be defeated one by one if they go to help in this scattered way, and suffer unnecessary losses!" Wu Qu asked loudly.
"Approved!" Qingzhu just shouted, and then took out the Star Bell to contact the Buddha, informing him of the unfavorable battle situation and asking him to be prepared. After collecting the Star Bell, Lord Qing became murderous and said in a deep voice: "Gather all the troops in the Heavenly Palace, I will lead the army in person!"
Several people looked up at him suddenly, Shangguan Qing said: "Your Majesty, if everyone withdraws, the Heavenly Palace will be easily ravaged!"
Lord Qing stared at him coldly and said: "If we lose the world, the Heavenly Palace will be left as a wedding dress for others."
Shangguan Qing was silent for a moment, and thought about it, and asked again: "What about the nobles in the harem?"
Lord Qing snorted coldly, "Are those bitches loyal to me? They have masters behind them, isn't giving them freedom what they want? They can leave if they want to, and stay if they want to. I won't stop them. Except for the Heavenly Concubine, you don't need to care about others!"
Shangguan Qing reminded, "They are all stunning beauties. If they fall into the hands of others, if they are used to threaten and play with, it will affect your majesty's reputation."
Lord Qing snorted again, "Then kill them all, don't leave a single one!" After that, he strode out of the hall...
In the Niuwang Mansion, Miao Yi returned to the meeting hall.
Yang Zhaoqing, who followed in, held the Xingling Bell and reported: "Your Majesty, Yan Xiu said that the Xiahou family said that there is no problem in evacuating those families, and it will be done soon."
"Okay!" Miao Yi nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Those old guards, this time, it is estimated that many people will not be able to be saved, but he can't abandon their families. Over the years, many of those old members have families, and most of the families of the guards are concentrated in the Tiangong area for care. No matter how many of those old members can survive, at least he must try his best to preserve the families of all of them, to give an explanation to the dead, and also to give an explanation to his future subordinates.
But he couldn't get people away from the heavily defended Tiangong, so he could only ask the Xiahou family for help. The Xiahou family may not be able to fight on the battlefield, but they have many ways to do such shady things, and the result did not disappoint him. (~^~)
