Strong winds were blowing, gunpowder smoke was filling the air, corpses were everywhere, and the wails were shocking.
Ping An City was destroyed.
When the Chu army entered, they saw Da Xi Changru and Mai Tiezhang leading his troops to escape. Sun Jian, Su Lie, and Yuwen Chengdu wanted to ride their horses to pursue them, but were stopped by Zi Langtian.
"Generals, please do not pursue the enemy. Your Majesty has ordered that after we capture Ping'an City, we will be responsible for guarding the city to prevent the arrival of the Suiyang Empire's army."
The voice sounded.
The generals reined in their horses and stood up. Li Yuanba returned with his hammers and said, "What a great opportunity to kill the enemy. It's a pity to miss it like this!"
"General Li is unparalleled in the world, so why worry about not having a chance to kill the enemy? At present, the battle between Wu and Chu stretches for thousands of miles, the army is scattered all over the place, and the three armies have been devastated by the war one after another. The three armies are already exhausted."
"His Majesty's decree is to recuperate our strength for the time being and not to provoke the Suiyang Empire. When the armies of all countries withdraw, if the Suiyang enemy soldiers dare to show off their power again, we will definitely step into their imperial city together."
Zi Langtian spoke, and Sun Jian glanced sideways at the four generals behind him, Sun Ce, Gan Xingba, Zhou Tai, and Taishi Ci, and shouted out orders.
"The four of you will lead troops to guard the four city gates to guard against sneak attacks by enemy soldiers from other countries. Also, count how many people there are in the city."
"This Ping'an City was originally the imperial capital of the Yuanfeng Empire. I don't know whether Emperor Yuanfeng is dead or alive, or whether the treasury treasures have been secretly taken away by the Suiyang Empire."
Sun Jian spoke, and the other generals raised their heads and looked towards the palace directly in front of them, and Zhang Xiu's rich voice spread.
"Master Sun, if you want to get the answer, just enter the palace and you will know!"
"Da da da~"
"Da da da~"
Zhang Xiu took the lead and rushed out, followed closely behind by the Xiliang cavalry. The horses' hooves clanked on the long street. It had to be admitted that the Xiliang people had a bold and fiery personality.
Sun Jian, Su Lie, Zi Langtian, and Yuwen Chengdu all chuckled lightly, raised their reins and chased after him until dusk, when the generals came out of the palace.
"Damn the enemy soldiers of Sui Yang, they are all fucking robbers, and they didn't leave anything behind. It's so abominable."
"Thieves are all robbers, but Wu Chu soldiers are more humane!"
As soon as Zhang Xiu finished speaking, a Xiliang soldier from behind stepped forward, raised his fist and saluted: "General, all the women and servants in the palace have gathered together. Let the general decide how to deal with it."
"We are an army of benevolence and righteousness. Of course we cannot harm them. It is said that I will order everyone to be imprisoned until I report to His Majesty."
"As you command!"
The setting sun was setting in the west, and the rays were shining brightly. The generals stood on the high platform of Yuanfeng Palace, looking at the towering city, their expressions solemn, and the iron-blooded fighting spirit lingering around them.
Ping'an City is in the hands of the Chu army. The four cities are heavily guarded. Crossbows, trebuchets, and oil rolling machines are neatly placed. Under the night wind, flags are flying, and soldiers are flashing. The whole city exudes an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Three days later.
Inside the Beast Imperial City.
Emperor Chu led Yao Yue, Dugu Jian, and Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry back. As soon as they arrived at the palace, news came from Luo Shixin.
Zhang Liang, Bai Qi, Li Jing, Ran Min, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Cunxiao returned with an army of 100,000.
Shengtian City was guarded by the four generals Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei, Zhou Yu, and Qi Jiguang to prevent the invasion of powerful troops from other countries.
The Five Tiger Generals Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong returned from Fukushima Castle with their 100,000 troops.
King Beimeng and Xiong Yiwu sent back military reports that they had successfully conquered the Xixia Empire. The Emperor of Xixia led more than a thousand remnants and fled to the Dali Empire for refuge.
Sun Jian, Zhang Xiu, and Zi Langtian jointly reported a great victory in Ping'an City, defeated the enemy troops in Suiyang, and captured Yuanfeng Empire's concubines and more than 2,000 servants.
The Chu army was victorious at the front. The Emperor of Chu was delighted and ordered Luo Shixin, Zhang Liang, Bai Qi and Li Jing to come to the imperial study.
In addition, a message was sent to the Feixian Restaurant in the city to search for Queen Nangong Xi. The three of them were secretly carrying out the search. The Jinyi Guards, the Assassin Alliance, and the Shadow Guards continued to spread out to collect intelligence from various countries.
Luo Shixin took the order and left. An hour later, the generals entered the palace and came to the imperial study. Emperor Chu sat at the head of the palace, his eyes passing over everyone, and the sound of approval rang out.
"The generals went to the battlefield to make great contributions to the country. I am very pleased that you played an indispensable role in the battle of Japan."
"Now the wars in Japan, Yuanfeng, and Xixia have settled. Although other countries are ready to take action, our army is already exhausted. From today on, the entire country's troops will rest for half a year to recuperate."
"During this period, the generals continue to supervise the training of the three armies and quickly improve their cultivation strength. In the upcoming war, Wu Chu's opponents will be stronger and the war will be more cruel. If you want to survive the devastation of the war, strict training must not
There is no slack at all.”
"Bai Qi and Li Jing continue to expand the Shen Marching Army, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing expand the Thunder Tiger Qingqi, and the legion soldiers under other generals increase their training intensity."
"Tomorrow, you will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect your military pay. I will reward the three armies, both soldiers and generals, with three times the military pay."
"In addition, there are fifty holy dragon spirit stones here, which are extra rewards I give to the generals to improve their cultivation."
"A soldier is raging, and a general is raging in a nest. You are all the strongest generals in Chu. I hope that within the next six months, your cultivation will change dramatically. If necessary, you can directly face the saint. I will spare no effort to improve you.
Cultivation."
"We sincerely obey His Majesty's edict. Long live our Emperor!"
The generals raised their fists and shouted loudly, and the Chu Emperor stood domineering. In these six months, he would change the Chu army and fight again, which would surely shock the world.
Emperor Chu raised his hand and handed the Dragon Spirit Stone to Bai Qi, waving his hand to signal the generals to step back. The Beast Imperial City was now the seat of imperial power, so he decided to select a site in the Beast Imperial City and set up a branch of the Academy of Sciences, allowing Shen Kuo, Hua Tuo, Zhang Heng,
Ou Yezi, Gan Jiang, Mo Xie and others came to the Beast Imperial City.
Everyone is the representative of the wisdom of the country and must not make any mistakes. After thinking for a long time, the Emperor of Chu decided to let the Five Tiger Generals personally lead the Iron Eagle Warriors and his army to return to Luoyang, the sacred capital, to protect everyone.
At dusk, the sky is filled with rays of light, and the Beast Imperial City is enveloped in it, as if it is bathed in holy light.
Luo Shixin returned to the palace to resume his duties, and Emperor Chu once again asked him to deliver an order for all officials from the former Orc Empire's Household Department to come to the palace.
In order to reward the three armies, this matter was an internal matter. The Emperor of Chu displayed all the gold, silver notes and silver collected in the dragon ring in the imperial study room, and prepared to add the silver in the Beast Emperor's national inventory for military pay.
When night fell over the sky and earth, officials from the Ministry of Revenue arrived in a hurry. This was the first time Emperor Chu summoned them after the Orc Empire surrendered to Chu.
Everyone was flattered and frightened. Although they were not officials in the court of Chu State, they were very familiar with Chu Emperor's methods. They were suddenly summoned to the palace. Everyone was in a state of excitement, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Under the leadership of Luo Shixin, ten officials from the Ministry of Revenue came to wait outside the imperial study. After a while, the powerful voice of Emperor Chu sounded, and they bowed and saluted before moving into the palace.
"Ning Yunkui, my humble minister, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Ning Yunkui was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He accompanied his concubine Yin all the year round. He was a rough man but also a fine man, and he devoted himself to his duties. Now when he met the Emperor of Chu, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice sounded loud and clear.
"My lords, there is no need to be too polite, please get down quickly!"
Emperor Chu raised his hand to support them, motioning for everyone to level up. His eyes quickly passed over the ten people in front of him, and his expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely gloomy. (To be continued)
