Chapter 393 There will be a ghost in the river 1
Duke Hui Yi was as gentle as ever and asked with a smile: "What brought the three most powerful figures in the capital to come together in front of me?"
The Queen Mother and Huang Yuanhe looked at Song Zheng together, with dissatisfaction in their voices: "I don't know, I have to ask Commander Song."
Song Zheng paid his respects again and explained: "If there is no sufficient reason, naturally we cannot easily disturb Your Excellency's Qing Xiu."
"More than ten days ago, I found out that Zhu Bingran, the adopted son of the Zhu family of Neixiang Hou, was Hua Xu's spy. I was shocked at that time.
Zhu Bingran almost inherited the title of Marquis of Neixiang back then. I was very uneasy because all the important ministers in our court were spies, so I followed this clue and tracked down many of Hua Xu's spies in our court.
Down."
As he spoke, he took out a list and showed it to everyone.
The Queen Mother and Huang Yuanhe were slightly moved after seeing it, because among the more than ten people on the list, there were their subordinates. And these people had very important positions in the court.
"Is it true?" Huang Yuanhe asked calmly. It is not uncommon for Long Yiwei to frame ministers for their own interests.
Song Zheng promised: "In front of Your Excellency Hui Yi Gong, I dare not make false claims."
Hui Yigong had his own magical power and confirmed that what Song Zheng said was unnecessary, so he nodded to express his approval.
Huang Yuanhe and the Queen Mother stopped talking and signaled Song Zheng to continue.
Song Zheng added: "The person who leads these spies is Duan Xuanhe, the commander-in-chief of Dunlong City in the ancient country of Huaxu."
Huang Yuanhe frowned: "This old man knows that Duan Xuanhe is a royal family of the ancient country of Huaxu. After the war between the two countries, Huaxu was very dissatisfied with the original commander of Dunlong City. When the situation was good, the frontal army he commanded
However, he was still unable to break through our army's defense, so he was dismissed from his post and investigated.
Duan Xuanhe took this opportunity to take charge of Dunlong City and command Hua Xu's defense against the Seven Kills Division and our Hongwu Celestial Dynasty. He has great authority and is also one of the royal family's moves to further take back military power."
The Hongwu Celestial Dynasty is not the only one in turmoil. Among the seven human clans on the east bank of the Ling River, life is not easy for several families. It goes without saying that Chuxiong has always been at the bottom. The situation inside Huaxu is actually not much better than that of Hongwu during the previous war between the two countries.
, Youyun Chijing's shocking plan broke through Liequan Pass on the spot, but Hua Xu failed to take advantage in the end, allowing the world to see clearly the weakness and chaos within Hua Xu.
The Huaxu royal family learned from the pain and decided to strengthen the centralization of the royal family. The first step was to take back military power step by step and purposefully, so as to take Huaxu's truly powerful army into its own hands.
The Queen Mother also knew these things very well. After all, her Huang Tianli Holy Cult had made a deal with Hua Xu and trapped the four slaves.
These are actually explained to Hui Yi Gong.
The position of the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom is not good. Their biggest enemy is the Demon Clan Tianchi Tribe. But they are also bordered by the Seven Kills Tribe and the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty.
Because the main enemy of the Seven Kills Department is the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty, they are in a state of mutual defense with the Ancient Kingdom of Huaxu.
Of course, this situation has not always been like this. The Seven Kills Division has strong strength and has always been ambitious. In history, it has continuously harassed the borders of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom.
It wasn't until 6,700 years ago that a heroic leader "Emperor Jingwu" emerged from the ancient country of Huaxu. He discovered an "evil dragon vein" on the border between Huaxu and Shenjin Mountain. If this evil dragon vein was allowed to develop,
, in a few thousand years, it will be possible to stir up the storm and condense the great fortune on a rebel thief, causing cholera to spread throughout Huaxu.
If future generations are unworthy, I'm afraid Huaxu's royal family will no longer have the surname Duan.
However, the climate of evil dragon veins was already established, and the backlash of forced execution was huge. Even Emperor Jingwu had already conquered the country at that time, and he could not bear it even if he asked himself.
In this dilemma, he handled it extremely skillfully. He recruited formation masters from all over the world and built a huge military city at the "leading" position of the Nielong Vein, which is now the "Dunlong City".
Contain the evil dragon veins with a huge spiritual formation that stretches for three thousand miles and pour its power into Dunlong City.
Dunlong City possesses the power of the evil dragon veins, heading towards the Shenjin Mountain. Since then, the Demon Emperor of the Seven Kills Department no longer dares to easily set foot in the territory of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom, because the power of the evil dragon veins connected to the spiritual formation of Dunlong City is very important to the emperor.
It has terrible lethality.
Because the Nielong Vein has to continuously export the powerful and precious emperors of the Seven Kills Tribe, it is difficult to achieve success and is no longer a threat to the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom. The border between the Seven Kills Tribe and the Huaxu Ancient Country has also been peaceful for thousands of years.
The Seven Kills Department and the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom can deal with the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty together without any distractions.
After Song Zheng learned about this period of history, he also secretly sighed. The entire history of the east bank of the Ling River is a chronicle of heroes. There are influential figures in every generation, and their deeds are leisurely and fascinating, even for opponents and enemies.
It can also make you feel admired.
Song Zheng followed Huang Yuanhe's words and said: "After Duan Xuanhe took charge of Dunlong City, he wanted to make great achievements to fight against the evil spirit Yun Chijing. So the Huaxu royal family handed over all their secret spies in Hongwu to me.
Duan Xuanhe.
The person who contacted Zhu Bingran was Duan Xuanhe.
After my subordinates hunted down all their secret spies, they interrogated them rigorously, and also investigated from the side and confirmed some facts."
As he spoke, he wiped his hand in front of his face, and a spiritual map opened in the void. It was the terrain in the north of Hongwu, the part where it meets Shenjin Mountain and Huaxu.
This part of the map is centered on Liequan Pass, and to the north is the "Hundred Battles Fortress" where Shenjin Mountain, Hongwu Celestial Dynasty, and Huaxu Ancient Kingdom meet.
Although the Hundred Battles Fortress is in the hands of the Hongwu Celestial Empire, it is really a place of hundreds of battles. It is just a small mountain col and cannot be defended. It will be broken through as soon as the battle starts.
The actual function of the Baizhan Fortress is similar to a "beacon tower", which can only serve as an early warning: the Huaxu people are coming.
To the west of the Baizhan Fortress is the God's Ash Mountain. This area of the God's Ash Mountain is extremely dangerous. The wild beasts and insects are powerful, and the monsters are not willing to set foot in it easily. The Tiansha Yun Chi Jing passed through this area unexpectedly last time.
Only then suddenly appeared in the hinterland of Hongwu.
But this kind of risky march plan cannot be repeated, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated. Yun Chijing only dared to take risks because he explored the Shenjin Mountain many times.
He actually wasn't sure if it happened again.
Further to the west of this area is the defense area of Saibei Jiuzhen. This army is currently the strongest of Hongwu's frontier armies. Although its attack power is insufficient, it is still sufficient to defend against the invasion of the Seven Kills.
To the east of Baizhan Fortress is a large river: Guanghan River.
This big river is the boundary line between Huaxu and Hongwu. Along both sides of the river, the two countries have heavy troops. On the Hongwu side, there are seven border towns outside Guanwai, second only to Saibei border town.
On the Huaxu side, there is their "Southwestern Army", which is deployed along the Guanghan River. The total strength is about 500,000, which is the same as that of the Hongwu Dynasty. The generals in the army are living on empty wages. Only God knows how many soldiers there are.
Both countries have huge water formations on both sides of the Guanghan River. The spiritual formations maintained by the abundant water spiritual energy of the Guanghan River form a solid barrier, making it difficult for ancestors and descendants to fly across.
In the area of Baizhan Fortress on Dunlong City Road, the "Huaxu Heavenly Army" of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom is stationed. The official number is 300,000.
The Grand Commander of Dunlong City is in charge of all military affairs from Dunlong City to Guanghan River. He is one of the most powerful military generals in the ancient Huaxu Kingdom.
Song Zheng pointed to the Lingguang map and said: "We, Long Yiwei, have determined that Duan Xuanhe has a battle plan, but it is not targeting Liequan Pass, but Guanghan River."
In the past, Huaxu's attacks had always been through Baizhan Fortress. After all, it was much easier to break into Liequan Pass than the Guanghan River defense line, and it was easier to build troops on land and carry out operations.
He pointed to a person on the list: "Fei Tonghai, the chief of the naval force of the Ministry of War, and his fourth brother Fei Tonghe is the commander of the Guanghan River Navy of the border army outside the Pass. There are sixteen large ships on the Guanghan River, 260 ships of various types.
The small ships are all under the control of Feitonghe."
"Duan Xuanhe's plan is to lead the Hua-Xu army at Fei Tonghe, cross the Guanghan River, first defeat our frontier troops outside Chaoguan Pass, and cut off the support on the Liequan Pass line, and then go south, bypass the Liequan Pass line, and kill in a roundabout way.
To the capital."
He used his finger to draw the offensive line of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom on the map with a red aura.
Huang Yuanhe looked at him with a stern face. If he hadn't been a Wenxiu Zhenguo and was naturally calm, he would have been dripping with cold sweat at this time.
This plan of the Ancient Huaxu Kingdom has a high chance of success. The naval forces are very few in the north of Hongwu. If all the naval forces in the border army outside the Pass rebelled, they would really be able to cross the Guanghan River easily.
Fei Tonghe not only controls the navy, but in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the navy, he also controls the key to the Guanghan River Water Formation. When the time comes, Hua Xu makes a surprise attack, and the possibility of success is extremely high.
The border troops outside the Pass will be cut off in half, and the panic will surely lead to a great rout.
"Duan Xuanhe is very confident in this plan. He wants to use his military exploits to capture our capital to fight against Yun Chijing."
At this point, everyone already knew the plan of the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom. The Queen Mother asked doubtfully: "Do you want to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation to capture Dunlong City?"
Only in this way can we achieve what Song Zheng said was the "three hundred years of longevity" for the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty.
Song Zheng nodded: "When I captured these spies, I did it in secret. The whole process was very confidential. I will never leak the information to let the ancient country of Huaxu notice it."
"Moreover, the interrogation was very fast, and Fei Tonghai has been surrendered, ensuring that they will cooperate with our actions."
He didn't say it clearly, but it was actually him who took action himself, using Baolan as a distraction to control Fei Tonghai. The investigation he asked Long Yiwei secret agents to do confirmed the entire plan from the side.
Duke Hui Yi was also moved. He was deeply entangled with the fate of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty. If he could live for another three hundred years, at least during these three hundred years, he would be safe and sound.
So he leaned forward and asked, "Tell me about your plan."
"Lure the enemy to go deeper." Song Zheng just said this, and Huang Yuanhe shook his head: "This strategy is not possible. Bring in Hua Xu's army. Their soldiers are numerous and strong. Even if there is an ambush, they want to annihilate them all.
We are also afraid that we will suffer heavy losses."
Song Zheng smiled faintly and said, "When did I say that I would introduce them into our territory?"
He pointed to the Guanghan River: "I will lead them to the Guanghan River and sink them all to the bottom of the river!"
