In mid-February, Qinglong City, the camp in the south of the city.

Since Li Yuntian's "assassination", the door of the small courtyard where he lived was closed, surrounded by the elite Xiaowu Legion, prohibiting anyone from approaching, and everyone's face showed a solemn look, meticulously guarding Li Yuntian.

Although there was a dull posture outside the courtyard as if facing a great enemy, the atmosphere in the courtyard was very relaxed, Li Yuntian leisurely practiced his sword in the courtyard, and watched the daily events in Qinglong City with cold eyes.

Li Yuntian has gained a lot these days, because Chaman thought that he had been assassinated, so he fully activated the intelligence network of the Northern Yuan in Qinglong City, so that all the strongholds and personnel of the Northern Yuan in Qinglong City were all exposed and mastered by Li Yuntian one by one.

"Lord Wang, the latest battle report has been sent from the Grandpa Guo, and the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have begun to force the surrendered servant army to storm the east pass of Jiayu Pass." Lin Xin walked over with a small note in his hand, stood aside and waited for Li Yuntian to finish practicing his sword, and handed over the small note in his hand.

"Those guys are just crazy!" Li Yuntian took the small note and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, crumpled the small note into a ball and threw it to Lin Xin on the side, "Burn it!" ”

In Li Yuntian's view, the chief general of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Jiayuguan was definitely an out-and-out madman, and after capturing the "Zhongguan" of Jiayuguan, regardless of the severe cold weather, he frantically urged the captured people of the Western Regions to attack the only remaining Dongguan of Jiayuguan.

However, Zhou Zheng had already prepared and dug three deep and long trenches in front of Dongguan to block the approach of the people who were acting as cannon fodder.

What is particularly important is that Zhou Zheng used the killer weapon of artillery and muskets, which had not been used before, when defending Dongguan, so that the people who were coerced into attacking were killed under artillery fire and projectiles without even touching the edge of the Dongguan city wall.

The reason why Zhou Zheng had not used artillery and muskets before was because the people of the Western Regions were besieging the city, and they could not kill or injure the enemy army.

Now, there is only one last checkpoint left in Jiayuguan to defend, so Zhou Zheng took out all his strength, and Jiayuguan has enough ammunition to make him free of his hands and feet.

In the face of the powerful firearms of the Ming army, the people of the Western Regions who were forced to attack Dongguan were already dead and wounded when they marched to the second trench in front of Dongguan, so the task of attacking the city fell to those unlucky servant troops, who continued to attack the city under the coercion of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army.

"Lord Wang, when will the net be closed?" From Li Yuntian's relaxed expression, Lin Xin knew that the battle situation in Jiayuguan was still under Zhou Zheng's control, so he stuffed the small paper ball into his pocket and asked with a smile, Recently, the activities of the Northern Yuan spies have become more and more rampant, and it is time to teach them a lesson.

"How's the situation with the Kansai Army?" Hearing this, Li Yuntian stretched lazily, put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and walked to the study.

"It has been determined that the nail planted by Chaman in the Kwantan Army is the Shazhou Wei Commander Tahar, who has recently had close contacts with Chaman and Yang Xing, and has tried his best to win over the generals of the Kwantan Army, as if many people have been pulled by him and acquiesced to the Northern Yuan."

Lin Xin quickly followed, and said to Li Yuntian as she walked, "Now within the Kwantan Army, only King Zhongyi and King Zhongyi's Hamiwei are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they have been squeezed out by Tahar, who is now vaguely the leader of the Kwantan Army. ”

"Catch the thieves and get dirty, for the sake of the overall situation in Kansai in the future, we must wait for them to be caught red-handed when they are ready to rebel." Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, this is exactly what he wants to see, the more Tahar tosses, the more conducive it will be to his rectification of the Kansai region in the future, so that it can truly integrate into the Ming Dynasty.

"Lord Wang, now there are rumors in the city, the people are panicking, and even the military spirit of the Xiaowu army has begun to fluctuate, and the subordinates feel that if the chaos continues, the situation in the city is likely to get out of control." Lin Xin hesitated for a moment and said worriedly.

Li Yuntian has been staying in the small courtyard since his "assassination", and has never gone out to see anyone else, which makes the atmosphere in Qinglong City more and more depressing, and the people are looking forward to Li Yuntian's public activities every day to prove that he has recovered, but the facts make them more and more disappointed, and a pessimistic atmosphere has permeated the city.

"Looks like we're going to have to help them." Li Yuntian also knew that the situation in Qinglong City was not optimistic, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Inform me to let the commanders of the Seven Guards of Guanxi see this king in three days, and this king will take them to retreat and pray for the blessings of the people of Guanxi!" ”

"Retreat and prayer?" Lin Xin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then couldn't help but smile.

I have to say that Li Yuntian's excuse is really "rotten" to be honest, and others can see at a glance that he wants to put the commander of the Kansai Seven Guards under house arrest, but this is exactly what Li Yuntian expected, in order to inspire Tahar and others to rebel in advance.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, Qinglong City has been chaotic enough for a while, and it is time to put an end to this situation.

In the evening, the grocery store.

"Boss, there's a distinguished guest here!" Chaman was in the room planning his next steps in Blue Dragon City, when a fellow knocked on the door and spoke to him in a deep voice.

"Guest?" Chaman's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, looking a little surprised, he didn't arrange anyone to meet.

"He said he was the lord of the city." The guy explained.

"Please!" Chaman's expression couldn't help but be startled, and he quickly got up and said to the guy, "City Lord" is the code name of Tahar, and he was surprised that Tahar came to him at this time.

"What's going on?" Soon, the hooded Tahar was ushered in by the man, and Chaman asked suspiciously after waving the man away.

"King Chungmu sent an order that in three days, the leader of our Kansai Seven Guards should go to bathe and fast with him and pray for the blessings of the people of Kansai!" Tahar took off his hood and said with a blank face, "This is definitely a trap, the people of the Ming want to put us under house arrest." ”

"It seems that the Ming army in the city has panicked!" Tahar was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "I was still thinking about when to make a move, but now it seems that I have saved this trouble!" ”

"You're ready to start moving?" Tahar's eyes couldn't help but light up, he had long been a little impatient to lead the Kansai army to open the city gate to welcome the enemy troops outside the city into the city, so that he would become a great hero in the capture of Qinglong City, and Qinglong City would also belong to him, so that he would become the real city lord.

"Those fools of the Ming army can be said to have played a bad trick and forced the generals of Kansai to our side." A smug smile appeared on the corner of Chaman's mouth, and he said to Tahar in a high-spirited manner, "Tomorrow night, gather the generals of Kansai and concentrate the forces of the Kansai Army to seize the west gate of Qinglong City, and then the entire Qinglong City will be ours." ”

"Can someone from outside the city pick it up in time?" Tahar's face also showed a look of excitement, he had waited for so long, and finally waited for this moment of decisive battle with the Ming army in the city, and then asked with some concern.

After all, the Ming army in Qinglong City has the advantage, and the four city gates are heavily guarded, if the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army outside the city can not respond in time, as soon as the reinforcements of the Ming army arrive, the Kwantan army is likely to lose the captured city gate under the fierce counterattack, and the Kwantong army will fall into an isolated and bitter battle.

In the final analysis, Takhar was quite jealous of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Qinglong City, believing that the Kwantan army could not stop the Ming army's counterattack at the city gate, so the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army outside the city must enter the city as soon as possible.

"After taking the city gate, light three fires on the city gate tower, so that the army outside the city will come to reinforcements immediately." Knowing Tahar's concern, Chaman smiled and said, this is the way to communicate with the enemy forces outside the city, and outside the west city are the Northern Yuan soldiers waiting for the signal.

"That's great!" Hearing this, Takhar breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the soldiers of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan entered the city, then even the combat effectiveness of the Ming army would be gradually wiped out.

"By the way, King Zhongyi and King Zhongyi are very close to Daming, and I am afraid that they will not agree to do anything at that time." Then, Takhar remembered something, frowned and said, this is a tricky matter, Hamiwei's army in Qinglong City exceeded 20,000, and it was the strongest force in the Kwantai Army.

"If they are stubborn, then kill them, and then order Hamiwei to go to war with us against the Ming army under their pretenses." A fierce light flashed in Chaman's eyes, and he said to Takhar with a cruel smile, "From now on, you will be the prince of Kansai!" ”

"I'll have to rely on adults a lot in the future." Hearing this, Takhar couldn't help but laugh, and after bowing his hand to Chaman, he said that although he was a little reluctant to kill King Zhongyi and King Zhongyi, he could only dream of possessing the whole of Kansai, so the only way to kill the two who didn't know what to do.

At the same time, the residence of King Chungshun.

"The Ming army is too reckless to do this, and it will definitely force all the generals in the relationship to rebel!" Timur, the king of loyalty, replied to the king of Zhongshun, who was sitting at the top of the place, with an expressionless face, "Takhar will definitely take advantage of this opportunity, and we must deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"Uncle, it's been so long, why hasn't King Zhongwu woken up yet." Hearing this, Bu Dali groaned for a while, and looked at Timur with a serious expression, if Li Yuntian couldn't wake up, Qinglong City would face a scuffle, and this big battle between the Kwantan Army and the Ming Army would be inevitable.

"Will he never wake up?" As he spoke, Bu Tali's face became extremely solemn, and he asked worriedly.

"I've asked the doctor, and the doctor doesn't know if King Zhongmu will wake up." Timur's face showed a look of depression, and he replied with a wry smile.

He had visited Li Yuntian several times, Li Yuntian had been in a coma, and those doctors could not do anything about this matter, and they could only wake up by relying on Li Yuntian's own perseverance.

"Uncle, what should we do if the Kwansai Army and the Ming Army go to war?" Bu Ta Li hesitated for a moment, and looked at Timur with a gloomy expression, this was definitely not the scene he wanted to see.

"Watch the fire from the other side!" Timur's mood was also very complicated, and after a deep groan, he said, "Let's preserve our strength first, as long as we have strength, we can protect ourselves after we have strength." ”

Bu Ta Li nodded, this is indeed a good idea, he neither wants to start a war with the Kansai army, nor does he want to fight with the Ming army, so it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
