Xiangzhou, Yishui County, April 15

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the prosperous Taiping County in the past was tense, the military spirit was soaring, and the aura of the Yellow Dragon Array was very eye-catching during the day.

A barracuda-type giant ship spans ten miles outside the county city, lingering with thunder, the hull is a thunderbolt sign, in addition to tens of thousands of terracotta warriors blockading the county, the location of this Hongwu ship landing is very good, this distance just allows its main gun to directly attack the county defense array.

The battle is that the Tude Huanglong Great Array is good at defending and not attacking - at least not good at attacking from afar, and there will be no way to take the enemy ten miles away.

When the comrades in other counties were tired of dealing with the encirclement and suppression of the state army and the princes' army, the Xuanting Dao people were very calm, and they were ready to take root here, in addition to sending 20,000 terracotta warriors to plunder the Quartet, the limited resources were prioritized for repairing the main artillery, and the mothership was here to bombard the county town every day - two random shells from time to time.

As far as the immortal ships are concerned, they are unwilling to use precious resources to fight with the reserves in the county town, but only harass and attack, so that the county town does not dare to send troops out to intercept and kill the terracotta warriors.

But two times a day, the fairy thunder falls, facing almost across two layers of crushing, but not everyone has the will to support it, the pessimistic and restless atmosphere in the city gradually spreads, some big families who don't want to die fled with their families overnight, and were intercepted and killed by the terracotta warriors parading in the wild, and the heads were sent back to hang on a string of flags outside the city, which is conducive to stabilizing people's hearts.

Everyone knows that to go out is to die.

Of course, there are also some people who secretly wonder if they can lead the way, but they don't have a chance for a while.

"County guard, the spirit stone is very consumed, and there are not many remnants...... "Several generals reported in a cold sweat.

Li Minglu wandered on the gatehouse, looked at the dark shadow of the ship outside several times, squeezed his hands and said: "I have sent five urgent messages to the king of Qingjun, and I send one every three days, all of them saying that the reinforcements will arrive, and they will support them on the spot, and they have been supporting them for half a month, why haven't you seen the shadow of the reinforcements?"

The generals glanced at each other, some kind of affection was exchanged, and finally a partial general spoke: "My lord, why don't we ask Xianghou for help?"

Li Minglu immediately changed color: "This is the Yishui County of the imperial court, not the Yishui County of the Marquis of Xiang!"

The scene was cold and silent, everyone was silent, this was the boss's accumulation of power for many years, but at this moment the atmosphere seemed to be changing.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little wrong, Li Minglu looked at them and met Zhang Duwei's eyes, and sighed in his heart, and it was a little cold when he brushed it......

It's a mutiny!

The corners of Zhang Duwei's mouth pulled an ugly smile, staring at him, and then his waist straightened slightly, as if he was about to stand up.

"Oops!"

How can you forget, these warriors have fought the world with Zhang Wei Village in Xiatu, and the hero group is the most prone to break the connection, even if it is the periphery, it is difficult to say that there is no private contact!

And now the whole city is like a drowning person, and if there is a straw, they will pounce on it and hold it...... Li Minglu was a spirit, and only then did he truly realize that danger was approaching him.

There was a "buzz" in his head, and the blood immediately rushed up, his heart was beating wildly, and his legs trembled slightly, but at this time, it was between life and death, and suddenly he was embodied in decades of qi cultivation and calming kung fu, suppressing his feelings, barely reddening, and not losing his temper.

Instantly remembered the countless tragic county guards in the history books, when the catastrophe of life and death was overwhelming, the residual prestige of the imperial court became insignificant, and any official authority was empty, he came to his senses and realized that his strength was shrinking rapidly, and he could no longer suppress the situation alone.

is blocking everyone's way of life, even if he is too guarded, he has no way out...... Your Royal Highness, you can forgive me.

In such an instant, Li Minglu took the first step, and said to everyone in a soothing tone: "I know that Fengliang County, where the king of Qingjun is located, is far away, but the Marquis of Xiangxiang is even farther away, he is in Xiangyin County in the south, even if there is Xiangshui connecting the north and the south, which of you can ensure that there are no enemy ships on the water to intercept it?"

"If we take the risk to surrender to Xianghou and ask for reinforcements, but Xianghou's reinforcements do not arrive, and the royal reinforcements stop when they hear the news not far away, then who can save us?"

While speaking, he secretly gestured behind his back, and suddenly a lieutenant in the Taishou Mansion saw this situation, left without saying a word, and went out, so he immediately ordered: "The situation inside is not good, on the orders of the adults, immediately transfer a pro-army army!"

"Yes!

The lieutenant's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "Once there is an order to be obeyed, you will take whoever I tell you to take, and don't hesitate at all, otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you and sacrifice the flag." ”

"Yes!" Immediately, the people below responded, and in a moment, an army of thousands had rushed into the Taishou Mansion, and they were listed at the key points.

Almost at the same time, in the hall, Tai Shou's words made everyone calm down and feel reasonable, and Zhang Duwei's ass moved away from the chair and sat down again, the risk of mutiny seemed to be eliminated, but the atmosphere on this occasion became more depressed, and everyone was a little flustered - what should I do?

The meeting ended hastily quickly, and Li Jun kept a few partial generals, as if he wanted to win them over...... In troubled times, it is safe to have soldiers in hand.

The rest of the people came out, only to find that a thousand pro-soldiers, murderous concentrated in the key points of the Taishou Mansion, everyone's faces changed,

Thinking of the argument just now, everyone was a little afraid, and they almost tore their faces today.

Xiao Juncheng, who had been silent just now, walked a few more steps, got into Zhang Duwei's carriage, didn't say anything at first, just said some gossip, and then said: "My lord, in fact, there is still a way to ask for help, and it is closer......

Zhang Duwei was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked to the north, he shrank after being pricked by a needle, his face was calm, and then he swept away with a cold and stern gaze.

"I don't care what you mean by this, Lord Juncheng, this sentence, I haven't heard of it, it's late, please go back!"

"Duwei, you are a martial artist, or you are inclined to Xianghou, but Xianghou is too far away, and Hanhou is too close, please consider it. Although Xiao Juncheng is a literati and looks handsome, when he heard this, he didn't drag his feet, and as soon as he arched his hands, he took his leave.

As soon as the second-in-command of the civil official of the county government left, several cronies and generals followed into the carriage, this carriage was very large, and it was not narrow for a few people to sit, and they all looked around at Zhang Duwei: "It's urgent, I almost tore my face with Taishou today, even if I didn't tear it today, Taishou has a knot in my heart, and it is difficult to avoid settling accounts after the autumn, my lord, it's better to make a decision as soon as possible, what do you mean?"

Zhang Duwei was silent......

Speaking of reality, when I saw the pro-soldiers who entered the mansion just now, I was scared into a cold sweat, and when I first heard that I had taken refuge in Hanhou, I was furious, but now that I have calmed down, I am a little moved, but this is not a simple question of who to choose for help, and if I choose, I will be labeled as this force.

Xianghou is a native of his own state, and he has an old relationship with the soil, which is undoubtedly the best choice, but unfortunately it is slightly weaker now, and he is afraid that it is difficult to save the fire from far away.

Qingjun Wangmu family was born close to Xiaozhou, but Xiaoxiang was a country in ancient times, because the strength was too strong, after the transformation into Neizhou, it was split into two, Xiangzhou population and economy are more, but the customs of the two states are similar, and they can barely be regarded as their own people.

Hanhou is a pure outsider, Yingzhou is a border state, it is a poor place, for the old Xiaoxiang, it can be said that there is no economy, no culture, I heard that some of the poor in the mountainous areas can't even afford to marry a daughter-in-law, and it has always made Xiangzhou people look down on it.

Although in recent years, the economy has heard that it is booming, but the general impression in my mind has not changed, and it is really the worst choice to welcome Yingzhou people in, and it is easy to be abused by Xiangzhou's fathers and elders poking their backbones.

Full of melancholy, he suddenly remembered that when he went to the land to fight, he galloped and hunted with His Majesty one day, and His Majesty asked: "If you and I are hostile on the ground, what should you do?"

At that time, he replied: "Whip in front of the horse for the Marquis of Xiang." ”

"Haha, good...... I should lead you to conquer Xiaozhou in the east, merge the two states into one, restore the ancient country, and even control the sailors to cross the long river, and control and contain the ten states in the north......"

The monarch and the ministers will meet, the wind and clouds will obey each other, and all of them are destined to be the same, and their oaths are still in their ears, how can they come back to the ground, and they will be shocked to hear that the king of the Qing county will be a vassal domain, and they will split a state into two at once, what kind of taste and future will immediately change?

Just as Zhang Duwei fell into melancholy, the car was silent, and the chassis shook violently, which was a shock from the depths of the earth's leylines.

Then, a thunderclap of "boom" rolled, drowning out the hearing, and a partial general sitting near the window stabilized his figure, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to see out, originally to guard against assassins, so he only opened a gap, but this gap was dazzling, shining on the snow in the carriage, reflecting everyone's faces pale.

Dazzling thunder was erupting on the large protective array, and the electric snake meandered all over the entire semicircle of orange-yellow light, and a yellow dragon phantom appeared in the air, and quickly annihilated.

The whole big array was crumbling, but it was still steady.

As a world-famous earth vein array, as long as you don't break the defense, you can quickly recover with the support of spirit stones, and even after breaking the defense, it is also a tunneling effect of digging a well in the thick soil, only a partial collapse, which does not affect most of it, and can be refilled as long as it is repaired urgently...... This is also one of the reasons why the residents of the city can still persist without going crazy.

Zhang Duwei's heart fluctuated, and he suddenly thought of what he heard in the teahouse say the day before yesterday, "Fortunately, it coincides with the earth vein of this dynasty, and if it is replaced by the Red Vein Dynasty, it will not be able to hold it for a long time, so it can be seen that the destiny of heaven is still in Lao Cai's family."

Who is the destiny of Xiangzhou?

"It depends...... he sighed and shook his head: "Let's see if reinforcements can arrive...... Now that the spirit stones are not exhausted, we can hold out for another ten days. ”

"Ten days later, whoever can rush to rescue us, we will take refuge in whomever we want!"

"No matter how rich or promising you are, you have to have a life to enjoy it!"

The thunder light subsided, and at the same time, the mind of this lieutenant also dissipated with the thunder light, and the instinct of the soldier made him make a decision.

No matter who it is, there is no real monarch and minister, even if it is the Marquis of Xiang, there are only monarchs and ministers who go to the land - this does not count on the ground.

"Ten days, I'm afraid people's hearts will fluctuate, and it will take time to get in touch. "Even so, there are lieutenants who have raised objections.

"Then ...... Five days. ”
