I’m The King Chapter 433: : A bolt from the blue
The scenery on the top of the mountain is unique!
Now Zhou Yuan feels this way, the place he is now is still far away from Helin, but standing on the top of the mountain at his feet, he can already see Helin's majestic Donghu Royal Court . Watermark advertisement test Watermark advertisement test Unlike Dayan Palace in Jicheng, which is located in the middle of the main city, Donghu’s palace is located at the highest point of Helin City. the top of the mountain. Standing on the royal court, one can overlook the entire Helin City.
"East Hu was originally a nomadic family, living by water and grass. Miranda admired my Central Plains culture, and imitated our Central Plains countries to build cities. Although this Helin is not comparable to my Dayan Jicheng, it is still magnificent. At least it’s not inferior to any state city in Dayan.” Pointing to Helin City, which is still visible in the distance although it’s blurry, Zhou Yuan said with a smile: “But in this way, Miranda can also put himself I have been imprisoned here in Helin City. After decades, this Helin City has become a symbol of the Donghu Royal Court. If Helincheng is lost, the Donghu people will be like dogs whose spines have been whipped, and they will definitely lose their spirit. It saves us a lot of trouble." Pointing to Helin City in the distance, Zhou Yuan calmed down. He Lin is already in front of him, a hundred thousand troops are waiting, and a century-old achievement is just in front of him.
"What the Taiwei said is very true. If Donghu still lives by chasing water and grass, instead of fighting our army head-on, but using the cavalry's mobile advantage to fight my guerrilla, it will be a big trouble, and the battle line will be too long. , It’s a big disadvantage to our army, but now, it’s much easier!” Tao Qigong, the general who accompanied Zhou Yuan, said with a smile. "However, this and Lincheng are considered steep, and I'm afraid it will not be an easy task to attack."
"Building a city is easy, but it takes a few years to learn the art of attacking and defending a city. The Donghu people take advantage of their weaknesses and attack the enemy's strengths. How can they be undefeated!" Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, "As soon as the army arrives, it will be wiped out!"
"The Taiwei is mighty!" Tao Qigong took advantage of the situation and boasted: "Destroy Donghu, complete the unfinished great achievements of Dayan for hundreds of years, a large area of land in Liaodong will be in the hands of Dayan, and the captain will open Dayan to fight for hegemony in the world." The great curtain of the great cause.”
This sentence really touched Zhou Yuan's heart. It is indeed his long-cherished wish to start the prelude to Dayan's fight for world hegemony. In Dayan, he has already become an extremely human minister. Now, the only thing he wants is to be famous in history. Overwhelm all the famous officials of Great Yan in history
And now, everything is about to come true.
"Taiwei, look, those are Kumamoto's troops. Kumamoto has already advanced to Helin City." Tao Qigong suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "General Xiong is really powerful, it looks like he can attack the city soon Already!"
After all, Zhou Yuan was a little older, and his eyesight was weak. Hearing Tao Qigong's words, he was refreshed. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while, finally seeing clearly the ants-sized crowd in the distance.
"Xiang Kumamoto!" Zhou Yuan smiled while twisting his beard. The closer he got to Helin, the stronger the Donghu people's resistance was. What stood in front of Kumamoto was the Duoyan tribe who had previously retreated from the Central Route Army. This is the Donghu people. Most of the clan, together with the Agu clan, are the super powerful clan of Donghu. Zhou Yuan originally thought that it would take some time for Kumamoto to break through the opponent's resistance, but unexpectedly, in less than a week, Kumamoto would Advance to Helin City.
"It seems that the Donghu clan's morale has been low due to internal strife, and they have no intention of resisting. This is God's death for Donghu. Miranda died at this time. .” Zhou Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Captain, it's started!" Tao Qigong yelled again. "General Xiong is attacking!"
Zhou Yuan wiped his eyes and opened them wide, but the more so, the more blurred his vision became, he laughed a few times: "Kumamoto, I'm really too impatient, let's try it and see How about Helin's defense? Forget it, don't look at it, let's go back to the camp, the messenger from Kumamoto is already waiting in the camp."
"I hope that General Xiong can make up for it in one battle!" Tao Qigong laughed.
"It's not such a good thing. The centipede is dead but not stiff. This Donghu has been entrenched in the land of Liaodong for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted. This Helin City has also been built for decades, and the broken ship still has three thousand nails. Well, it’s such an easy thing, if Xiong Ben was able to test the loopholes of Helin Chengfang before the main force arrived, that would be a great achievement.” Zhou Yuan turned around with a smile and walked down the mountain, Tao Qigong hurried up, He supported Zhou Yuan's body.
"Taiwei, Taiwei!" After walking a few steps, on the rugged mountain road below, a member of the general ran madly up the road.
"Look, Kumamoto's messenger must have arrived at the camp, it's really fast enough." Zhou Yuan smiled at Gu Tao Qigong.
"The last general has met the Taiwei and General Tao!" General Pi saw the two people who were going down all the way. An anxious look on his face. Zhou Yuan couldn't help being startled, "General Zhou asked you to come?"
"Yes, Taiwei, General Zhou asked me to come, please go back to the camp immediately!"
"Is the messenger from Kumamoto here? I already have a general understanding!" Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "The scenery on this mountain is quite beautiful, so I can just look at it while walking, so I can relax the fatigue of this period of time!"
"Taiwei is right, these days are indeed too bitter, but everything is worth it." Tao Qigong echoed.
"Taiwei!" General Pi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the anxious look on his face became more intense.
"Huh?" Zhou Yuan noticed something strange, looked at Pi Jiang, "It's something else!"
"Yes!" The general's eyes glanced at the large number of guards behind Zhou Yuan from time to time. Seeing this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but jump in his heart. Is something wrong?"
"General Zhou asked the late general to report to the Taiwei that there are people coming from the Panshan Fortress. General Zhou does not allow the late general to say more about other matters, but just ask the Taiwei to return to the camp immediately." The voice of the general was so low that only Zhou Yuan could hear clearly , even Tao Qigong, who was following behind Zhou Yuan at this time, only heard a few intermittent words.
Zhou Yuan's expression suddenly changed. People from Panshan Fortress came, and Zhou Yu was so serious about the matter, so the general refused to say it here. What Zhou Yu is so careful about is probably a fatal matter.
"Go back quickly!" Zhou Yuandang even quickened his pace.
I finally got down the mountain. Zhou Yuan's forehead was already sweating, the general led the horse, Zhou Yuan got on the horse, and did not wait for the soldiers. Just hit the horse and leave. In a panic, a group of soldiers chased after him.
"What happened?" Tao Qigong caught up with the general. Inquire in a low voice.
"Tao Qijun, you will naturally know when you return to the camp, but the last general dare not speak nonsense at this time!" shook his head. Tao Qigong was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Zhou Yu was not only the lieutenant general of the army, but also Zhou Yuan's confidant, and he couldn't afford to offend him. I just wondered what happened in my heart, and it turned out that the Taiwei's face changed drastically? I almost lost my composure in a hurry.
At this moment, Zhou Yu is also sitting on pins and needles in the big camp. The people from the Panshan Fortress had already arrived at his camp, and the fact that the main guard of the Yan army had been cut off was clear. Of course he knew what it meant. This will not only wipe out Dayan's plan to attack Donghu. It is very likely that the 100,000 troops could hardly go home, and it also affected another major plan. For a while, Zhou Yu only felt distraught and didn't know what to do.
Walking back and forth in circles in the big tent, the anxiety was beyond words.
The big curtain was lifted, and Zhou Yuan stepped into the tent. Behind him, Tao Qigong and the other general also stepped in.
"Zhou Yu, what happened? Why did the people from Panshan Fortress come here?" Zhou Yuan asked anxiously as soon as he entered the big tent.
Zhou Yu didn't answer him right away, but said to the general: "Zhou Kang, you go to guard outside the big tent, no one is allowed to approach the big tent."
"Yes!" Zhou Kang's Bi Jiang stepped out of the tent, and Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Yuan intently, "Taiwei, something serious happened!"
Zhou Yu only said one sentence, which shocked both Zhou Yuan and Tao Qigong.
"Panshan Fortress is lost, tens of thousands of Donghu cavalry appear behind us, Liaoning Wei, I'm afraid we can't defend it!"
"How is it possible?" Tao Qigong shouted, "How could there be tens of thousands of Donghu cavalry behind us? Where did the Donghu people get their soldiers? Are they gods? No, this is impossible , This must be a trick of the Donghu people. We cannot be fooled, if there are Donghu people, how can there be no news from Hu Yanchao of Liaoning Wei?”
Although Zhou Yuan did not lose his composure like Tao Qigong, his face turned white at this moment, "How did the soldiers from the Panshan Fortress come here?"
"The Donghu people raided the Panshan Fortress. We had less than a thousand soldiers in the Panshan Fortress, and almost all of them were wiped out. Only a few scattered people escaped. These people wanted to warn the Liaoning Guards, but the Donghu people were faster. When they arrived at Liaoning Guard, Donghu Iron Cavalry had already surrounded Liaoning Guard to the brim, so they had to rush here desperately. Hu Yanchao couldn’t get any news at all. I don’t know what’s going on with Liaoning Guard now?” Zhou Yu was almost biting Gritting his teeth, he said the above passage, "Our ordnance and equipment in Liaoning Wei are all gone!"
Zhou Yuan swayed, his eyes darkened, and he almost passed out.
"Now we can guess the reason why the Donghu cavalry had almost no resistance in the middle, but desperately attacked Gao Yuan and Zhang Shubao on the two wings. Our assault was too fast, and the gap between the left and right flanks was widened. Those who pass through the space between these two wings are hidden in the winding mountains, this is the Donghu people's strategy to lure the enemy into the depths." Zhou Yu said slowly..
"However, where did their troops come from?" Tao Qigong trembled.
"It's Agu Department, Yuwen Department, and Murong Department!"
"How is this possible? Didn't they have already been defeated and eliminated in the internal strife of Donghu?" Tao Qigong's face was already ashamed at this time, and he also thought of it.
"The whole thing is a conspiracy. There may be internal strife, but it is not what we imagined. The internal strife has been suppressed by Miranda long ago, and all the information we have obtained is false. And the people in Lincheng Yan Lingwei spies, something went wrong. The information they sent out is nine points true and one point false. A Gu Yingxin and other tribal bosses who supported Suoke are indeed dead, but these tribes are not seriously injured. "Zhou Yu was a little desperate, "From the very beginning, this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy that lures us to keep going deeper."
