    The Mang Kingdom and the tribe launched another attack on Qingyun City for some unknown reason. The war outside Qingyun City continued, and Ye Ruoshui, who was far to the south of the Yan Kingdom, had led the armies of the Ning Kingdom and the Lousha Dynasty to attack the southern Yan Kingdom a few days ago.  The city's attack, and the Tianshui Kingdom's army also cooperated with Ye Ruoshui's northward movement and began to gather troops to suppress the Yan Kingdom's eastern army.

    Ye Ruoshui's army had less than 50,000 people left after the previous battle with the Yan army led by Wang Shanhua in Luoxia City. Among them, there were about 10,000 remnants, and nearly 10,000 people fled south to unknown destinations.  In the end, only more than 20,000 people came to Luoxia City. Fortunately, the Lousha Dynasty army led by Qi Jiaxing did not suffer too many losses. The two armies combined added up to nearly 80,000 people - although this small number  Compared with the previous 300,000 troops, the 200,000 troops are not worth mentioning. However, after destroying the Yan Army's 700,000 troops, this number is still something that cannot be ignored. You must know that the Yan Army is now  The national strength of the Yan Kingdom, even if the whole country is considered, can only gather about 300,000 troops. And if these 300,000 troops are gathered together, the remaining twelve cities of the Yan Kingdom, except Lihuo City, will  There is no more soldier left to defend!

    It wouldn't matter if there were only 80,000 people like Ye Ruoshui, but there were nearly 100,000 people led by Qi Luoge, and Mang Guo and the tribe who had always been on good terms with the Yan State had broken with the Yan State in the previous station, Dongzhong.  When will an army be sent to attack from the northwest of Yan State? With enemies on three sides, Yan State's 300,000 troops are obviously a drop in the bucket.

    Just when Ye Ruoshui and Qi Luoge began to attack the Yan Kingdom, Lu Tianxing began to order the capture of young men as young men. As Lu Tianxing ordered other cities to capture young men for military use, there was also a secret edict following the conscription order.  It was passed to the hands of various city lords, and the city lords who received the secret order quickly took action - they sent out the few defenders in the city to start catching the strong men. When there were not many strong men left in the city, the city lords  With his family and the prominent dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in the city, he used the garrison to hold down the strong men and went straight to Lihuo City.

    As a result, the entire Yan Kingdom was in panic. Only the old, weak, women and children were left in the city, and groups of strong men were escorted towards Qingyun City.

    No one knows what happened. If there is a war, why not go south and east, why go north?

    When people knew that there were troops coming from the south and east, everyone who understood it realized that the city lord abandoned the city and left. It turned out that he was not preparing to fight a war at all, but was planning to defend the Fire City to the death.

    Without the defenders and dignitaries in the city, the ordinary people in the city were naturally in chaos. The timid ones started to leave the city with their families, while the bold ones still stayed in the city. In their opinion, the world is now in chaos.  , where can we escape?  Although he was very likely to die if he stayed in the city, even if he died, he wouldn't die violently in the wasteland.

    In fact, what happened was much better than they imagined. Ye Ruoshui came to the city and looked at the open gate of the city and the panicked crowd standing on the wall. He sent someone to ask and found out that there was no one in the city.  After the defenders and the young and middle-aged men were also captured, Ye Ruoshui, who led the troops into the city, did not go on a killing spree. The first thing he did was to appease the people and at the same time issued an edict - the edict mentioned it twenty years ago.  Lu Tianxing seized power and killed his brother, and Lu Zhenyu led his troops only to overthrow Lu Tianxing's tyranny. What use is it for an emperor who only cares about self-preservation when war comes and plunges the people into misery?

    Looking at the edict, although some people couldn't help but say in their hearts that if it weren't for you, our families would be separated and our families would be destroyed, but they were just thinking in their hearts. They knew that if these words were spoken, they would probably cause disaster, and as for what the edict said,  They were just curious about the matter and not too concerned about it. Who became the emperor was not important to them, what was important was whether they could survive.

    Ye Ruoshui understood the worries of the city residents - as the powerful and wealthy businessmen moved north, those huge fields and properties became Ye Ruoshui's means to appease them. In this way, the army led by Ye Ruoshui instantly won the hearts and minds of the city residents.  Even if Ye Ruoshui collected some military rations in the city, in the eyes of the city residents, this was nothing compared to the allocated fields.

    After pacifying the people in the city, Ye Ruoshui and Lu Zhenyu did not stay too long in the city, and then led their army northward without leaving a single soldier in the city.

    Because he encountered no obstruction, Ye Ruoshui successively captured three cities in the south of the Yan Kingdom in just a few days. He issued an edict, changed the city flags, divided the fields, collected military rations, killed wealthy businessmen, and bought young men.  When they arrived at Xiliang City, they had already gathered 100,000 people. As long as Ye Ruoshui was willing, he could lead the army and rush away from the Fire City. However, for some unknown reason, Ye Ruoshui ordered the entire army to retreat in Xiliang City.  Rest.

    Because of Lu Yuxiao, the people of Xiliang City did not have any resistance to Ye Ruoshui's army, and they welcomed him very much. After entering the city, Lu Yuxiao took Lu Zhenyu and Ye Ruoshui to Shame Flower.?, and then began to discuss the next itinerary.

    While Ye Ruoshui continued to move north, the Tianshui Kingdom army led by Qi Luoge was not idle either. Qi Luoge led the Tianshui Kingdom army first to a small town in the southeast of Yan Kingdom - after Qingyun City was defeated,  The citizens of Qingyun City were secretly brought to this unknown town, unguarded and unable to enter and exit freely. They were left to fend for themselves. When they left Qingyun City, there were still more than 200,000 of them, but now they are alive.  There are only about 100,000 people.

    After killing five thousand Yan Kingdom soldiers, looking at the ragged citizens of Qingyun City with frightened expressions, Qiluo Ge turned over and dismounted, slowly took off his helmet, saw Qi Luo Ge's face, and recognized Qi Luo Ge.  The citizens of the city couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes. They called each other "Miss" and ran around telling each other.

    Qi Luoge stayed in the town for one night, and then led the army and the citizens of Qingyun City to attack the city and seize the land. Shortly after Ye Ruoshui captured Xiliang City, Qi Luoge did not encounter any resistance.  He also led his army to capture two cities, and then Qi Luoge led his army towards Xiliang City. After receiving Ye Ruoshui's letter, Qi Luoge decided to join Ye Ruoshui and send their troops northward. Now  Except for Lihuo City, none of the other cities in the Yan Kingdom posed a threat. Instead of doing this, it would be better to lead the troops directly to Lihuo City.

    After temporarily settling the citizens of Qingyun City in Xiliang City, Qi Luoge left behind an army of two thousand people, and then rushed to Lihuo City with Ye Ruoshui. From there, they headed north on a long road, inside Lihuo City.  Now there are at least 500,000 strong men gathered together, as well as the garrison led by various city lords. The current Lihuo City seems to Ye Ruoshui and Qi Luoge to be a hard nut. If they can eat it, then the entire world will be ruined.  It will change, and if it doesn't, it will most likely fail.

    The news came that Ye Ruoshui and Qi Luoge had reunited. As various city lords led the defenders and strong men to Lihuo City, Lihuo City, which was originally very spacious, became crowded. At this moment, Lu Tianxing began to order the evacuation  Those ordinary city gates used this to free up space for the city lords and strong men of other cities to live, and the defenders were taken over by Lu Tianxing after entering Qingyun City. Watching the city residents who kept leaving Lihuo City, driving a carriage  Lu Renjia looked back at the words "Lihuo City" on the city wall, then looked at his wife and children, and finally turned to look at Qian Duoduo aside, "Are we really going northwest to find Su Qin later?  The boxes in the car are full of money."

    "Find a place to bury the money first." Qian Duoduo lowered his head and looked at the abacus in his hand and said. After finishing speaking, he looked back at Lihuo City, "I don't know if we will have a chance to come back in this life."

    Qian Duoduo didn't know if he would ever have the chance to come to Lihuo City again in this life, and those wealthy businessmen who followed various cities to Lihuo City knew their fate as soon as the citizens of Lihuo City left -  - They brought a lot of food, cloth, and even a lot of gold and silver treasures, but when they were gathered together and taken to the imperial city, what they saw was not Lu Tianxing's face, but cold arrows.

    Looking at the dead wealthy businessmen, Lu Tianxing looked outside the imperial city with an indifferent expression, "The enemy is facing us, and the Yan Kingdom needs them to sacrifice their lives for the country."

    "What should we do with those city lords?" After looking at the expression on Lu Tianxing's face, Zhang Duanzhang asked after careful consideration.

    "Keep it." After saying that, Lu Tianxing looked at Zhang Duanzhang, "Where is Shame Flower now?"

    "I asked him to wait for you in the study." Zhang Duanzhang replied softly.

    Hearing Zhang Duanzhang¡¯s words, Lu Tianxing nodded and continued: ¡°I¡¯ll leave the army to you, as well as those strong men. I hope you can enable them to take up arms against Ye Ruoshui and Qi Luoge in a short time.¡±

    "Your Majesty, don't worry. With these 250,000 troops and 500,000 strong men, Lihuo City will now become an iron wall."

    With a soft hum, Lu Tianxing walked forward, "Let's go see Shame."

    Seeing Lu Zhenyu take steps forward, Zhang Duanzhang stepped up to follow him, "I hope your majesty will not blame Wang Shaanhua. After all, this defeat was entirely due to Du Linlou."

    "The main reason is that I trust Du Linlou too much." After hearing Zhang Duanzhang's words, Lu Tianxing froze, and then quickened his pace, "I plan to let Wang Shaanhua and Mu Henyu go to the tribe together."

    "Is it okay, Crown Princess?" Zhang Duanzhang said with a slight frown, as if he knew Lu Tianxing's plan.

    "Mu Henyu will not disappoint me." Lu Tianxing said for a moment, "No one in the tribe is a match for Wang Shanhua, and the Yao tribe has always been one of the six major tribes in the tribe. As long as Mu Henyu can control the tribe,  Then Mangguo won¡¯t make any big moves for the time being.¡±

    "Mangguo is now dealing with Su Qin from Qingyun City, and the winner should be determined soon."

    "It's not necessarily a good thing for Su Qin to support Mo Xiao." Speaking of thisThere, a sneer appeared on Lu Tianxing's lips, "I'll wait for them in Lihuo City to see who wins."
