Plan to cut off the nine states

When the kings divided up the incarnation army that entered the city, Xue Liujia realized how big a mistake he had made. However, he refused to admit his previous cowardice and mistakes. Instead, he complained about the disloyalty of the soldiers who entered the city and the relatives and friends who stayed behind. His incompetence and short-sighted wife Huang Tieniang ruined his career.

"I am the King of the Incarnate World. Instead of coming to me, they went to the kings. They are rebelling. They are rebelling! When I know who is taking the lead, I will never spare him!" Xue Liujia shouted angrily.

"I heard...it was King Wu who allocated the World Army." My wife's brother, Xiao Liuzi, reminded me from the side.

"King Wu, King Wu." Xue Liujia uttered a series of vicious curses, and finally sat down slumped, "I was fooled. I thought Shen Dan and Ning Bao'er were the leaders, but it turned out that I was wrong. Why does he...he He is still a young boy, how capable can he be to make kings obey his orders?"

The messengers sent by Xue Liujia returned one by one, and they all brought the same news: King Wu was too busy and had to wait until the officers and soldiers were defeated before he could come to see King Jingshi.

Xue Liujia knew that King Wu would not come to his door again, and when he did come, it would be a battle between strong and weak.

Xue Liujia scolded the surrounding generals, but still could not forgive his hatred. When he heard that the officers and soldiers had surrounded Dongdu, he suddenly felt relieved and murmured: "Anyway, they are all dead. Xu Chu is by no means the opponent of the officers and soldiers. Everyone It's better to die together in the city. I can't die in vain. I finally lived in the palace. There are still many places I haven't been to, and... the Queen Mother, I must at least take a look at her."

Xue Liujia wanted to lead people to break into the Queen Mother's palace, but he bumped into Huang Tieniang at the door of the hall.

Huang Tieniang knew her husband so well that when she saw the panic on his face, she couldn't help but say, "He is still a king after all. He has been fighting for almost three years. Why are he still so spineless? They are just a group of officers and soldiers. I was able to defeat him last time, and I can do it this time. I think my son-in-law is a good person, so you don’t need to worry about him.”

Xue Liujia paused, pointed at his wife and cursed, "You, you are such a waste. You are jealous and rob gold and silver. You can't do anything else. You are clearly at the gate of the city, why are you looking at Xu? Do you want to distribute my soldiers to the kings? You still say that he is a person, let me tell you..."

Huang Tieniang was stunned by the scolding. When she came to, she reached out and held her husband's finger tightly, and said angrily: "Am I a waste? I gave you children, am I a waste? Without me to help you suppress it, the World Army They have been torn apart a long time ago, why wait until today? I said there is nothing wrong with my son-in-law, but there is nothing wrong with me. What do you dare to do?"

"Oh, oh, princess, be gentler, be gentler." Xue Liujia immediately surrendered, invited his wife to the throne, sat side by side with her, carefully analyzed the pros and cons, and pointed out how serious the current situation was to the Xue and Huang families. unfavorable.

Huang Tieniang's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, still dubious, "My son-in-law is just a pretty boy. Even everything in bed has to be supervised by me. I don't believe he has ambitions."

Xue Liujia smiled bitterly, "My wife, princess, why don't you understand? If Xu Chu had no ambition, how could he marry our daughter?"

"What's wrong with Jin Yao? He has great martial arts skills and a cheerful temper, just like when I was young."

"You are right, but who is Xu Chu? The son of the general and the princess of Wu Kingdom. He assassinated the emperor of all things. Even if he was on the run, he would become the king whenever he wanted. How could a man like him not do it? Ambition? How could he easily agree to marry Jin Yao?"

"No, it's you who insists on marrying Jin Yao to him."

"My original intention was to win over the weakest among the kings first. Who would have thought that I would lead a wolf into the house? Xu Chu is clearly the most insidious one."

Huang Tieniang grabbed her husband's beard and said, "You actually use our precious daughter as a tool. What kind of man are you? I'll beat you to death, you old man!"

The "old man" kept begging for mercy, and the relatives and friends around him also tried to persuade him.

Huang Tieniang let go of her hand and said in confusion: "What should I do? The raw rice has been cooked, and I cooked it myself."

Xue Liujia rubbed his chin gently, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. But now my daughter's problem is still a trivial matter. Xu Chu and the kings took away my subordinates. If they are defeated, I will share the same sin with them. If they are defeated, they will never return the soldiers..."

Huang Tieniang looked at her husband with disdain, "Look at the tone of your words, how can you sound like the disciple of Maitreya, the King of the World? Who are all the kings? King Wu, King of Jin, and King of Liang are all outsiders. The King of Shu joined the World Army halfway, and even Ning Bao'er only came to join us after the World Army rose. Ning Bao'er didn't even have enough to eat at that time, and his wife and children were as hungry as wolves. Now he dares to compete with us for soldiers? It's a joke."

"Where to go?"

"I went out of the palace to patrol the city. I want to return our soldiers and subdue all the kings' subordinates. Then we will see. If my son-in-law really has evil intentions, kill him and find another good one for Jin Yao. If you are wrong, , the son-in-law is still a good son-in-law, it will not be too late to hand over the World Army to him. "

Xue Liujia didn't understand this truth. Deep down, he believed that his remaining power was enough to recall his soldiers, but he did not dare to leave the palace, fearing that the kings had already set a trap and he would lose his life as soon as he went out.

"Don't be anxious yet, think about it in the long term..."

Huang Tieniang was impatient, "You were scared to death just now, but now you want to think about it in the long term? When you muster up the courage, the battle outside will be over. Alas, I, Huang Tieniang, have been famous all my life, why did I marry such a useless guy like you? I I would rather my son-in-law be a little ambitious than a coward like you."

Huang Tieniang stood up and walked out. Xue Liujia caught up with her in surprise, "Where are you going, Princess?"

"Get all the soldiers back for you." Huang Tieniang said angrily, and said to her brother Xiao Liuzi and other relatives and friends: "You let me, a woman, come forward? Have some shame, follow me!"

Six or seven people followed timidly, not so much because they wanted to have shame, but because they were afraid of Huang Tieniang.

"Princess, be careful, I'm waiting for you here. If you can get the magic stick back, things may be easier. If not, don't offend the kings, we can discuss it later..."

Huang Tieniang ignored her husband and went out of the hall to call the female soldiers. She has always been arrogant. No one dared to provoke her in the Advent Army. She knew the wives and children of almost every general. She wanted to get back her own soldiers. She didn't have any strategy, but she felt that no one would dare to refuse.

Outside the palace gate, a large number of soldiers gathered. Huang Tieniang was overjoyed and said to everyone around her: "Who said that no one came to surrender to the King of the World? Isn't this the case? There are quite a lot of people, and the King of the World was scared out of his wits. Alas, I really don't understand. There are countless heroes in the world, why did Maitreya Buddha choose this one thing? Just as blind as me... Buddha forgive me."

The only thing Huang Tieniang was afraid of was the gods and Buddhas.

Xiao Liuzi looked for a while and said worriedly: "Sister, something is wrong. These people are all under the banner of King Liang."

"Well, King Liang is more loyal and sent his soldiers here personally."

"It doesn't seem like it."

"So what? They are all our people. If I go to ask for them, King Liang dares not to give them? If he dares not to give them, our people will not agree."

Huang Tieniang went to meet them first, and the others had to follow, more or less believing that she could get the soldiers back.

Ma Wei was riding on a horse, fully armored, surrounded by many generals and guards. He was thinking about how to break through the gate of the palace, but he saw a group of people opening the door and coming out. He was overjoyed and said to General Pan Kai: "We can attack now."

"Do you want to live or die?" Pan Kai asked.

"The King of the World will be handed over to me, and the lives of others will be decided by the generals." Ma Wei looked at the generals on his left and right, nodded and smiled at them.

Pan Kai understood and ordered the infantry to move forward.

Huang Tie Niang on the opposite side still didn't see the threat, and said to the people around her: "They are all our people. I recognize that guy. What's his name?"

Xiao Liuzi's face suddenly changed, "No, sister, that's Cheng Juling, remember? My brother-in-law had an affair with his wife, and it was very tense. Later, his wife committed suicide. Cheng Juling didn't say anything at the time..."

"Blind Liu has done such a shameless thing? Why did you tell me now?" Huang Tie Niang was very dissatisfied with her brother.

Xiao Liuzi felt something was wrong and grabbed Huang Tieniang's arm. "Sister, it's really wrong. There are several other people who also have grudges against my brother-in-law. Look at their posture. They are going to attack us." Huang Tieniang was a little afraid of the soldiers, but not the army of the world. She shook off her brother and drew her two swords. "Let's fight. Let them know how powerful I am, and they will all be honest." The soldiers on the opposite side quickened their pace and pointed their swords and guns at them. They really wanted to fight. Huang Tieniang was furious and said to Cheng Juling, "Cheng, if you have the guts, come at me!" Cheng Juling held a special long sword in both hands, roared, and stepped out of the crowd and ran straight to Huang Tieniang. Huang Tieniang suddenly felt panic and began to doubt whether her two swords were useful? Was it too late to take out the slingshot? Was the victory in the past due to the other party giving in to her? Cheng Juling was not panicked or doubtful. He chopped down the long sword fiercely, aiming at the old woman he had long disliked. Xiao Liuzi stayed behind and saw his sister being cut in half with his own eyes. He cried "Mom" and turned around and ran.

The Liang soldiers were so angry that hundreds of female soldiers and a small number of male soldiers were no match for them. They were defeated in an instant and their bodies were lying in front of the palace gate.

Xiao Liuzi reacted faster and ran back to the hall first, "No, no, it's not good. Cheng Juling is coming to kill me. My sister is dead. We are all doomed..."

Xue Liujia was puzzled, "Who is Cheng Juling?"

"It's..."

Xue Liujia suddenly came to his senses and grabbed his brother-in-law by the collar, "The princess is dead?"

"Yes, she was killed by Cheng Juling's sword."

Xue Liujia let go, was horrified, and suddenly came to his senses again, "You closed the door?"

"Ah? I was in a hurry to come back to report the news..."

"Go to hell..." Xue Liujia kicked his brother-in-law over and ran out. Just when he reached the door of the hall, he saw the Liang soldiers swarming in, and hurriedly ran back, trying to go out through the back door.

But he was frightened and his legs were weak, so he ran slowly. Just as he reached the throne, he heard a deafening shout behind him, and his legs became weaker. He stumbled and fell to the ground.

A group of soldiers surrounded him, and Xue Liujia vaguely recognized a few of them, "I am the disciple of Maitreya Buddha, the king who governs the world for him, you... you..."

One person said coldly: "If you hand over the magic stick, you are no longer a disciple of Maitreya."

"I gave it the power, without me, it is no longer a magic stick."

The man shook his head, "You have the power, show it to us."

Xue Liujia was speechless. It was he who regarded an ordinary wooden stick as a magic weapon, and he didn't expect that it would become more important than himself in the end, "I, I have never treated you badly..."

Someone came, and the soldiers made way. Liang Wang Ma Wei looked down and said seriously: "You left all the benefits to your relatives and friends, and beat and scolded other soldiers, and even occupied their wives and daughters. You still say that you have never treated them badly?"

"I, I will hand over my wife and daughter, and you can choose."

“No need.” Ma Wei drew his sword, held it high in his hand, and said to the soldiers: “Maitreya Buddha, if he protects Xue Liujia, I, Ma Wei, will be struck by lightning now. If he gives up this man and chooses another king, I will kill him with one blow!”

Xue Liujia was terrified, “Listen to me…”

Ma Wei chopped down with his sword, and the head fell to the ground. The soldiers around him dodged.

Ma Wei’s anger finally dissipated. He turned around and saw Xu Chu, who was stunned. So he came over with a sword and said with a smile: “There are many ways to replace the king. Sorry, I got there first.”
