The Bloody Road to Longevity Chapter 309: Contribution
Suddenly, there was a faint voice in my ears: "Master Hou... Master Hou..."
Although the voice is vague, it doesn't seem like one person is calling, it seems like there are thousands of people calling!
Jiang Xiaobai frowned and said, "Who is calling?"
Liu Zhisheng listened attentively, and said after a while, "It seems like it's coming from the other side of the river!"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "Go and have a look!" He led the crowd to the riverside.
Thousands of people were standing in the valley on the other side, densely packed. The leader was Niu Xuangu, who was leading a group of people who were still shouting, and stopped when they saw Jiang Xiaobai appear.
Jiang Xiaobai said loudly, "What's it called?"
Niu Xuangu put his hands around his mouth and said, "Master Hou, do you think he took us across the river for a late-night snack? Now that it's dawn, it's time for breakfast, and we're so hungry that our mouths are dripping with water. Now, if you don't eat anything, you won't see us! It doesn't matter if we are hungry, we can't starve the emperor!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I think you guys are quite strong!"
Niu Xuan said: "This is the return of the light!"
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and murmured: "I know what to eat!" Turning around and saying, "Build a bridge!"
Everyone responded and began to build the bridge.
Because both sides are now their own people, it is very easy to build the bridge. Besides, the bridge has been built here before, and the stone piles on both sides are still there. From the opposite mountain, a few ropes were shot with bows and arrows, tied to the stone piles, and then paved. On the board, a simple bridge was built, and Niu Xuangu led the remaining tens of millions of soldiers and horses over.
At this moment, a fat carrier pigeon flew from the sky. After circling a few times, it spotted Jiang Xiaobai, swooped down, and landed on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder. This is the "Smell Thousand Miles" carrier pigeon of the Golden Silk Country. It really lives up to its reputation. It smells a thousand miles and the army moves for a few days, but it can also follow the smell and find Jiang Xiaobai accurately among millions of people.
Jiang Xiaobai took the letter from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it, and his solemn face became bright.
Feng Yan stretched his neck and glanced at it, and said, "Master, why are you so happy? No, Bu Xiu will have a son just after he married his wife, right?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Lancang Pass has been broken!"
Although there are only five words, it is like a thunderbolt from the blue, making everyone stunned. Lancang Pass has the reputation of being the number one pass in the world. Now that the two major natural moats in the north and south of the Zhongxia Kingdom have been broken, it seems that breaking the capital is just around the corner.
The rumor said happily: "I can't see that Buxiu is okay! I have always underestimated him."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "He is just playing soy sauce, not because he married a lady who is both civil and military!"
The rumor nodded and said, "This time Buxiu made a lot of money!"
Jiang Xiaobai sighed: "That's right, it's a blessing for Bouxiu to marry such a lady! I hope he can know how to cherish it!"
In the capital of Zhongxia Kingdom, Han Yiba had already learned the news that Lancang Pass had been breached, and at the same time, he also received the head of Feng Qiang. However, the head of Feng Xiangqian was not received directly. After all, it was sent by the enemy. No one dared to send it to the palace. Instead, he appeared in the downtown of the capital for no reason. There was a wooden box on the side of the road. A few people saw it and thought it was a treasure, but unfortunately there were so many people in the downtown area that no one dared to take it for themselves.
The official came, but found a letter in the wooden box, indicating the identity of the head, a few yamen officers were shocked, and did not dare to make decisions without authorization.
Han Yiba had a thousand calculations, but he didn't expect Lancang Pass to be breached. He thought that the Changxiang Kingdom was just bluffing and was not a concern, so he demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall. If it is not repaired, the east wall will collapse, and the shock in my heart can be imagined.
Han Yiba originally wanted to suppress this matter. After all, he was the first to ascend the throne or usurped the throne. His heart was unstable, and he was afraid that the army would be shaken. When they couldn't stop, the civil and military officials heard it, and they were all horrified. They ran to tell them, and they almost stopped crying.
Han Yiba is anxious and angry, but he has nothing to do. Even if he has a thousand hands, he can't cover a million people, so he can only let it be. The most important thing at the moment is to intercept the soldiers and horses of the Changxiang Kingdom. After all, they are 20 million soldiers and horses. Since they can break through Lancang Pass, they must not be underestimated.
But if you want to intercept 20 million soldiers and horses, why do you have to prepare 20 million soldiers and horses? The thousands of soldiers and horses who happened to support the southern line are still on their way, so I quickly ordered to go back to intercept Changxiang Country, and then say goodbye. If the place is crowded, it can always squeeze out another 20 million soldiers and horses, and use 30 million soldiers and horses to block the 20 million soldiers and horses of the Changxiang Kingdom. Besides, it is still a local battle, so it should not be a problem. As long as Li Minchao can block Jiang Xiaobai, the Changxiang Kingdom is not enough.
I didn't expect that he managed to squeeze out 30 million soldiers and horses like milking a milk. Just as he was about to go north, another head was found in the capital, this time it was Li Minchao's. It was the first time that the person who sent the head did this job, but when he came to the capital, he didn't know how to send the head to the palace. If he sent the head to the palace in an open manner, one of the heads that was sent would definitely become two, and the other was his own. . When I was hesitating, I overheard someone chatting when I was eating in a restaurant. The conversation was about the last time I gave someone a head. Suddenly, my heart lit up, and I placed the head in the busy city.
This time the people saw the wooden box again, and no one thought it was a treasure. Before it was opened, someone reported it to the official.
In one day, the news of the beheading of Marshal Li Minchao spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. Even the dusty women in the brothel knew that the follow-up news was still gathering in the capital, and the more and more the news spread, the more In the end, it is said that the Marquis of Qingliang borrowed the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, flew over the Fanlong River, and descended from the sky. Suddenly, the city was full of wind and rain, and the wind and the wind roared. , Under the circumstance of sufficient troops and horses, still relying on dangers to defend, can't defend the two great natural moat, now that the troops and horses are tight, and there is no danger to defend, how to stop the 40 million iron cavalry?
If it hurts the enemy by 10,000, and loses 8,000, the officials won't panic, as long as they consume it slowly, Jiang Xiaobai is a long-distance attack after all, and he will eventually be exhausted. According to the news, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Fanlongjiang were destroyed, and the enemy only died more than 40,000 people. Yes, that is, more than 40,000 people. In Jiang Xiaobai's eyes, soldiers and horses can be broken with a snap of a finger? How is this fight going? Where is the war? Obviously sent soldiers into the slaughterhouse! Well, the analogy of the slaughterhouse is very appropriate. It takes almost 40,000 people to slaughter 10 million pigs.
Han Yiba stayed up all night and went to court in the morning. His hair was half white overnight, and his body and spirit were haggard. The ministers were also like eggplants beaten by frost, unable to lift their spirits, the hall was like a mourning hall, and all of them looked sympathetic. If a coffin was brought over, no matter who was in it, it was estimated that they would be able to cry earth-shatteringly.
Han Yiba was pacing back and forth on the platform in front of the dragon chair. The ministers did not dare to breathe, so they quietly watched him walk. Voice.
For a long time, Han Yiba suddenly stopped, glanced at the ministers, and said: "You must know the battle situation on the front line better than I do, and I don't want to go into details. I ask you, is there any way to defeat the enemy?"
The ministers looked at each other, but no one answered.
Han Yiba said again: "Can anyone dare to confront Jiang Xiaobai?"
The last time Han Yiba asked this question, Li Minchao robbed them of the advantage, which made them regret. Now that the opportunity was presented to them again, they didn't know how to cherish it, and still no one answered.
Han Yiba said angrily, "Are you all scared?"
All the ministers lost their minds and felt embarrassed, and lowered their heads.
At this time, Han Bing stepped forward and said, "My son is willing to lead troops to fight against Jiang Xiaobai!"
Han Yiba snorted coldly and said, "You are not Jiang Xiaobai's opponent!"
Since Jiang Xiaobai's attack, Han Bing has been blaming himself every day and can't sleep at night. Although he doesn't regret it, he also feels shameless to face his father, especially now that he sees his father turning white overnight, it is even more heartbreaking. Thinking that maybe you can only be freed if you die! He said, "Whether it's his opponent~IndoMTL.com~ the disaster is caused by Erchen, Erchen is willing to take it upon himself, if he dies or I die, Erchen is not afraid!"
How could Han Yiba not know what he was thinking, and said angrily: "Do you think you can make up for your sins by dying?" After all, Han Bing is his favorite son. Although he has hatred in his heart, he also Couldn't bear to let him die.
Han Bing bowed his head and said nothing.
Lilu Grand Marshal Fu Bing said at this time: "Your Majesty, calm down, it's not that I dare not fight, but that our front is too long, and we are facing the enemy on both sides. Grasp it, and dispatch troops in a hurry, you will only fall into the abyss of doom, so you can only think about it and make a long-term plan!"
Han Yiba looked at him and said, "I also want to think long-term, but will Jiang Xiaobai wait for you to think long-term?"
Fu Bing said: "I have a plan!"
Han Yiba said with joy: "Speak quickly!"
Fu Bing said: "We can only shrink the front line now, so as not to be defeated by Jiang Xiaobai!"
Han Yi is domineering: "All huddled in this capital?"
Fu Bing said: "This is just an expedient measure. If we shrink the front line now, there are 30 million soldiers and horses available outside, and there are still several million forbidden troops in the capital, about 40 million soldiers and horses, while Jiang Xiaobai and Changxiang The country has only 40 million soldiers and horses, the capital is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Jiang Xiaobai will not be able to attack..."
Han Yiba sneered, interrupted him, and said, "Did you forget that Jiang Licun is a lesson from the past? He thought exactly the same as you at the beginning, but you saw what happened in the end, and the capital will be self-defeating without attack!"
Fu Bing said: "Your Majesty is different from Jiang Licun. Jiang Licun is a heartless person. It is difficult to support alone. There are no troops and horses inside and no reinforcements from outside. >
