There was no expression on Su Yuchi's marble-hard face, even though his heart was bleeding. He clenched the hilt of his sword and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
The bursts of screams outside the city cast a heavy shadow over Yunyang City. The rain stopped, but the wind became unprecedentedly fierce. The wind brought the smell of blood. The soldiers and civilians in Yunyang City were in extreme depression.
Down.
In the Deyang Building in the south of Yunyang City, four men were sitting in a private room drinking. One of them was none other than the King of Zhenhai, Hu Xiaotian. He had not left that day, and had gone and returned with Xia Changming, Xiong Tianba, and Zongtang.
, quietly sneaking into Yunyang City. Although the west gate of Yunyang City is tightly guarded, the other three gates still maintain normal access, so it is not difficult to enter Yunyang. In fact, even if the blockade is tight, it cannot stop Xia Changming, who is good at controlling flying birds.
.
Hu Xiaotian was not just trying to save the victims in Xichuan this time. Ever since Su Yuchi moved in, Yunyang had actually become a roadblock to his westward march, and the Xichuan earthquake gave him a golden opportunity.
Xia Changming whispered: "My lord, I just received news that Dakang is gathering troops on the southwest border. It seems that he intends to take the opportunity to regain Xichuan."
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "Although Li Tianheng has had a bad year, he has not lost all his resistance. Dakang's gathering of troops is not for attack, but to prevent refugees from entering the hinterland."
Zongtang nodded with deep sympathy and said: "Yes, Yunyang is an example. They want to keep the trouble inside Xichuan and let Xichuan start chaos from within."
Hu Xiaotian said: "In most dynasties in this world, the reason why the country was destroyed was not because of external forces, but internal reasons."
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door outside, and it was Liang Yinghao who came to inquire about the news and walked in.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and gestured for him to sit down. Liang Yinghao didn't bother to sit down and whispered: "Everything was just as the master expected. Su Yuchi refused to let the refugees into the city. In order to survive, the refugees built a pontoon bridge and forced their way through the moat, intending to break through the city.
Gate, Su Yuchi ordered to shoot, and there were numerous casualties outside the west gate."
Xiong Tianba cursed angrily: "Why is this old turtle so stubborn? Is it possible that he really wants to watch all those people die in front of the door?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "What do the people in the city think?"
Liang Yinghao said: "From what my brothers and I have learned, there is great resentment. I heard that even Su Yuchi's most capable subordinate Yuan Qingshan was arrested for disobedience."
Hu Xiaotian nodded slowly and said, "Su Yuchi did not do a very good job in this matter."
Liang Yinghao said: "I was in contact with An Zhai from the Beggar Clan just now. He has already found out where the turtle-shell chariot and the Sky-shattering Crossbow are."
Xiong Tianba said: "Okay, as long as their chariots and sky-shattering crossbows are destroyed, there will be nothing to worry about. Third uncle, why don't you send me there."
Hu Xiaotian glanced at him and said, "Why destroy it?"
Xiong Tianba said: "Destroy the turtle shell chariot and the sky-shattering crossbow, and we can send a large army to attack the city."
Hu Xiaotian slowly shook his head and said: "Don't forget, I am now the King of Zhenhai of Dakang, and you are all generals of Dakang. Wouldn't it be tantamount to rebellion?"
Xiong Tianba didn't know what was going on, but the others all heard that there was something in Hu Xiaotian's words.
Xia Changming asked: "Master, has he got an idea?"
Xiong Tianba shouted: "Fuck General Dakang, I don't want to be controlled by this bastard court. Third uncle, why should we follow Dakang and suffer? I think you can be the emperor yourself."
Zongtang said: "You naughty kid, don't yell. Listen to what the lord has to say."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The fundamental reason why the imperial court refused to let the refugees enter is because of the civil strife in Xichuan. This natural disaster will accelerate the collapse of Xichuan. Even if troops are not sent to attack Xichuan, Xichuan will not be able to withstand the huge pressure."
The attack will defeat itself." He paused and said: "The imperial court is waiting for the opportunity. Once the opportunity comes, they will march into Xichuan. The current gathering of troops is to prepare for the attack on Xichuan."
Xia Changming said: "But why did they only gather troops in the south and not send troops to Yunyang?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The two most important cities in Xichuan are Xiezhou and Xizhou. As long as you control these two cities, you control the lifeblood of Xichuan. Xiezhou is located in the south of Xichuan, closer to the border of Dakang.
Xizhou is relatively close to Yunyang. Originally, using troops against Xichuan, a two-pronged approach could achieve twice the result with half the effort, but now the road from Yunyang to Xizhou has been interrupted due to earthquakes and mudslides, and it is no longer possible to use troops from the north. Therefore.
They will gather their forces in the south, and when the time comes, they will complete a breakthrough from the southern front."
Zongtang said: "Don't they care whether the refugees live or die?"
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "If we are compassionate and allow refugees to enter the country, it will inevitably increase the burden on Dakang, and Xichuan will also get some breathing space. That's why Dakang will strictly control the border. As for Yunyang, it is not the focus at the moment.
, as long as we don't leave and don't allow any refugees to enter, we can keep the trouble in Xichuan."
Xiong Tianba also understood after hearing this, and said angrily: "The imperial court is really vicious. In order to regain Xichuan, it actually ignored the lives of hundreds of thousands of people."
Xia Changming was puzzled: "But the master has already asked them to let the refugees enter the customs and let us accept these refugees. So why doesn't Su Yuchi agree?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. In fact, his motives were not simple, but no matter what the motives were, it was still good for the refugees after all. He was not just talking in vain. As long as Su Yuchi was willing to let the refugees enter, he would definitely be responsible to the end. But Su Yuchi
People's principles are too strong, and he has absolutely no room for maneuver on things that are not allowed by the court. Moreover, Su Yuchi must be suspicious of his own motives and worried that he will take the opportunity to infiltrate his power into Yunyang.
Hu Xiaotian had long wanted to capture Yunyang. He had also thought of several plans, but he soon discovered that Su Yuchi was extremely vigilant and would be difficult to achieve. He also thought about assassinating Su Yuchi. With his and Xiong Tianba's martial arts,
It is not difficult to do this, but it is easy to kill Su Yuchi, but it is too difficult to win over the people of Yunyang City. However, Su Yuchi's excessive persistence has caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers and civilians in the city. Although today's massacre of refugees has temporarily
The effect of shock was to let his subordinates see his cruel and cold-blooded side, which made people's hearts turn away.
Hu Xiaotian turned to Zongtang and said, "Are things ready?"
Zong Tang nodded, and the others were all confused and didn't know what Hu Xiaotian asked Zong Tang to prepare.
The past two days have not been very good. That’s all for today. Take a rest early and try to adjust to the state as soon as possible. Please pay attention to the octopus public signal stonesquid.
