She Is Not a Witch Chapter 31: The first battle in the south
Hedaizhou, on the Liuyun River.
It was night, the river was full of red lights and boats, the sound of silk and bamboo lingered on the beams, both sides of the bank were also full of lights, and there were crowds of people, and many Linjiang restaurants were full of vermilion carriages parked, and the sound of drinking and confrontation was noisy, Occasionally, the sound of a woman's coquettish laughter can be heard.
Although the world has undergone great changes, it still does not damage the prosperity of this place. Furthermore, King Huainan is now sitting here, guarded by a large army, and the land of the three continents is extremely stable.
In a tall and five-storey painting boat, hundreds of girls from the music workshop are dancing gracefully. In the sleeves, the lamps and shadows are flickering, the wine glasses are touching, and the dignitaries and nobles present are drinking and drinking. It is lively and joyful.
After a long period of singing, dancing and drinking, the dancers gradually dispersed, and only then did the few people present talk about the current situation.
"Master Bian, are you satisfied with today's banquet?" An old man in Tsing Yi raised his glass in the painting boat, facing the young man sitting at the head.
"Hahaha, I'm satisfied, you old man, I don't want to be so discerning." The young man in a silver embroidered costume tapped his knees with a folding fan and responded with a big smile. Good dancer.
After that, the few people present echoed and praised again, which made the young man feel elated.
Most of the people present today are from the local aristocratic families in Hedaizhou, and they entertained this young man on this boat to please him.
Why do these powerful local families do this? Of course, it is related to his identity. This Wang Bian son, from the Dongshan Wang family, is a famous family of the dynasty. Now the Wang family's daughter is Huainan Wang. The main wife, this Prince Wang Bian is also the brother-in-law of the current King Huainan, so he will be so flattered.
After a burst of compliments and compliments, everyone saw the young master get up in a high spirits, and finally asked some questions that had been prepared.
"Recently, the villain heard that the Beifu Mountain army was going south, and it was so powerful that people were panicked, and the next friend is now also in the north, so he is very worried..." He shook his head and made a sigh.
"Haha, don't worry about this matter." Wang Bian was a little drunk at the moment, blushing, shaking his wine glass.
"I asked my sister a long time ago, that Zhuo Muye, hmph, even though he is a general, he is really stupid. He didn't respect the king's order, and even gave a false edict. It really makes people laugh."
"Now the Holy One (King Huainan) has dispatched Yiyi, and the Qinghuan Second Army will be defeated in the wild."
"Beifu Mountain Frontier Army is the most important dynasty, and I am worried about it."
Although Mr. Bian said that King Huainan had sent an army to set off, everyone present still had no idea. After all, Zhuo Muye had been in Beifu Mountain for many years and had a great prestige that no one dared to underestimate. The number of troops on several continents is at least 300,000, and this does not include the local garrisons that were conquered and dispatched later. In the end, they may exceed one million, and the momentum is powerful. This is what makes everyone uneasy.
If it wasn't for the purpose of inquiring about the current situation and how confident King Huainan would be in dealing with the Beifu Mountain army, they would not have specially set up a banquet to please Mr. Wang Bian.
At this time, I saw the young man sitting at the top shaking his folding fan, his face showing color, and he answered after a long while.
"You guys, I'm afraid you don't know the power of the Holy One. There are already several big factions coming to vote. Although the Beifushan army is strong, it offends all factions. No big faction is willing to support it. Only the Dynasty Dragon Cavalry, He must be alone, I think his life is not long."
"Forget it, these things will get out sooner or later, and it won't matter if I say so." He belched. A little sober, then fuzzy again.
"Now the three sects of 'Red Dust Magic Workshop', 'Five Blades and Seven Soldiers', and Wildfire Mingyue Sect have made friends with their sages and sent many disciples to support them. With these three sects in charge, I think Zhuo Muye's death is approaching, haha Haha." He laughed a few times, then snored drowsily, apparently drunk.
When the few people present met, they nodded slightly, and then asked someone to help the young man to rest, and then slowly walked out of the boat.
When they came to the deck, three of them stood by the railing and looked at the river view on the other side, and then they started talking.
"In other words, there are now four big sects coming to support King Huainan."
"The general trend has come, even if King Dai can find him as an ally, it will be difficult to suppress King Huainan."
"We have to bet too."
"The river is surging and surging, and I don't know who will have the last laugh. Let's take a step at a time."
After talking for a few words, they fell silent again. Although the current situation is okay and the Hedaizhou where they are located is extremely stable, the few people present are still not sure what the future situation will be. After all, the world has been stable for hundreds of years. It's been a year, and even their descended families don't have much experience in fighting and surviving in troubled times. Now they can only follow the trend and get close to King Huainan, hoping that this lord can rule the world and go to the end.

In March, the peach blossoms first bloom, and the dots are like stars.
The army of Beifu Mountain went south all the way, subdued the state capitals along the road, and mobilized the garrisons of each state to accompany it. Its army continued to expand like a snowball, until it approached 600,000 troops, and was finally blocked by King Huainan.
On He Xingzhou, a continuous line of warships entered from the Yellow Sea and went upstream. The powerful frontier troops originally stationed in the east also went north with the boats. The states under his command supported 120,000 coalition troops, and a total of 370,000 troops were stationed along the river, blocking the southward route of the Beifushan army.
In the beginning, there were sporadic dragonriders fighting in the air~IndoMTL.com~ Then the army slowly advanced, and the first contact and large-scale decisive battle began in early April.
During the battle, the army of Beifu Mountain was advancing like an iron curtain, the sky was covered by dragon flags, and the brave iron cavalry made a surprise attack from the side, and dispersed the army commanded by King Huainan. In the chaotic battle, Zhuo Feng, the son of Zhuo Muye, killed About 100 meters in front of King Huainan, he was repelled by the true disciples of the 'Five Blades and Seven Soldiers School'.
After this battle, King Huainan's prestige plummeted, and the states in the rear were not stable, and the black army of Xuanfeng who had mowed down the Seven Continents continued to attack, and gradually occupied the fertile lands of Muqing, Qingfang, and Huansha. , Liu Leng four continents, and these four continents are the prefectures and counties run by the Wang family, a prominent family in Dongshan.
As the in-laws of King Huainan and his important supporters, the Wang family also had to ask for help from King Huainan at this time. With the help of the big boat and the boatman, they rushed to Muqingzhou quickly.
Since then, about 500,000 Beifushan troops rolled like boulders and slowly crushed them, repelling the troops commanded by King Huainan until the fire broke out in the rear. , and then stopped at Moshangzhou, facing the remaining 200,000 troops of King Huainan.
