Chapter 198 Sudden mutation in southern Xinjiang

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Regarding Fang Xuanling's words, Zhou Chen also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Beidi are knocking on Yanmen Pass. If such a problem also occurs in Xiliang, then the pressure on the surrounding gates will be great.

What worries Zhou Chen the most is if such a problem occurs in Xiliang, will it affect the plan to capture the Marquis of Xiliang?

If it affects the plan to capture the Marquis of Xiliang and cannot take over the Xiliang army, then the next situation in Xiliang will be much more serious.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight."

"Now Beidi has defeated Jiuyuan and Mayi, and the Zhenbei Army has just been purged. Only two generals, Gao Shun and Hezhou, are in charge. The morale of the army is unstable and its combat effectiveness will decline."

"The last general is willing to lead his army to Northern Xinjiang and join Gao Shun and others to resist Beidi."

Marquis Wei Wu stood up and asked for help.

After all, he, the Weiwu Marquis, can be considered a veteran. Although his qualifications are not as good as those of veterans of the three dynasties like King Guanshan, he is still older than those of the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang.

Having him, a powerful military commander, lead troops to northern Xinjiang, which played a big role in stabilizing the morale of the army to suppress the north.

"Your Majesty, the Zhenbei Army has 300,000 soldiers and horses. The number of troops is sufficient."

"Therefore, I believe that the imperial court does not need to send more troops to northern Xinjiang. The more than 300,000 troops of the Northern Suppression Army can stop Beidi from moving south."

The Minister of War said thoughtfully.

Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard the words of the Minister of War and said in a deep voice: "What I want is not to block them, what I want is to kill these aliens."

"Anyone who dares to offend my enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be punished by me."

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Zhou Chen's face.

A mere foreign race dared to knock the pass and go south to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty. As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could Zhou Chen only need to block the alien race?

When Du Ruhui heard this, his eyes flickered, and he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to kill the foreign tribes in Beidi, you must find a way to restrain Beidi's cavalry and mobilize enough troops."

"But now, it has reached a critical moment to capture the Marquis of Xiliang and take over the power of the Xiliang Army."

"I think we should wait until we capture the Marquis of Xiliang and take over the power of the Xiliang Army before we plan to kill the foreigners."

If you want to kill aliens, you need a large army.

Although the Zhenbei Army has been successfully taken over by the imperial court, the Xiliang Army has not yet.

If in order to kill the foreign tribes, things in Xiliang are delayed and the Marquis of Xiliang is aware of something, then the gain outweighs the loss.

…

Just when the emperor Zhou Chen summoned the Six Ministers and the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian late at night because of the Beidi knocking off the pass.

Southern Xinjiang is also experiencing dramatic changes.

Nanmen Pass, a great pass to defend against the Southern Barbarians, was in raging war at this moment.

On the wall, the sound of fighting and fighting broke through the night sky in southern Xinjiang.

Corpses fell to the ground one after another.

The bright red blood is so dazzling even in the dark night.

"General, please leave quickly. We can no longer defend this place. Someone has opened the door and the Nanman have already entered."

"If the general doesn't leave, it will be too late."

A lieutenant covered in blood ran up to a general in armor and said urgently.

The armor-clad general's body was stained red with blood, and there were no fewer than four or five wounds hanging on his body.

Walk?

"If the South Gate is thrown away, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"When my adoptive father left, I asked my general to garrison Nanmen Pass. But now that tens of thousands of soldiers have died in battle and Nanmen Pass has been breached, how can I have the face to face my adoptive father?"

"Today I will live and die with Nanmen Pass."

This armor-clad general is the chief general of Nanmen Pass and one of the adopted sons of patron king Zhou Zhan.

When the patron king Zhou Zhan left southern Xinjiang, he specifically asked Zhou Zhou to guard Nanmen Pass to prevent the Southern Barbarians.

But tonight, Nanmen Pass was captured by the Nanman. If the leader of Nanmen Pass did not recapture Nanmen Pass on Thursday, how could he have the face to meet his adoptive father and patron king?

Therefore, Thursday has already made up his mind to die and live or die with Nanmen Pass.

To be honest, I still feel a little baffled until Thursday. I don’t know why the Nanman suddenly attacked Nanmen Pass without any warning beforehand.

The most important thing is that tonight there is chaos in the pass. Some of the Zhennan Army stationed at Nanmen Pass also fell ill for no apparent reason, and some people actually opened the gate.

What does this mean?

Thursday is something you know without even thinking about it.

However, now is not the time to think about this, but to hold off the Nanman attack and hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Once the reinforcements arrive, they will be able to drive back the southern barbarians.

"kill……."

After finishing speaking, without saying a word, Zhou Zhou once again swung his sword to kill the Nanman soldiers who kept rushing up the wall.

The lieutenant originally wanted to persuade Thursday, but when he saw Thursday killing the Nanman soldiers again, he followed closely and started fighting with the Nanman soldiers again.

The entire south gate was shut in the dark night and submerged by the flames of war.

There were piles of corpses inside and outside the pass wall, whether they were from the Nanbarbarians or the defenders of the Zhennan Army, they were all piled up like mountains.

I don't know how much time passed.

The sound of fighting on the wall suddenly stopped.

The sound of fighting that was shaking the world gradually came to an end.

A figure covered with scars and bloodshot lips stood upright on the wall, looking at the Nanman soldiers coming up from all around, with a trace of unwillingness and solemnity on his face.

"Fourth brother, put down your weapons and surrender!"

"The South Gate is already broken, so why are you seeking death like this?"

A figure came out, and under the light of the torch, Thursday could see the other person's face clearly.

"Second brother?"

"It's you."

"It turns out that it was all your fault. You betrayed your adoptive father, betrayed the Zhennan Army, and colluded with the Southern Barbarians to break the Southern Gate."

"Why?"

"Tell me why?"

"Second brother, do you know what you are doing?"

"Look at it, tens of thousands of soldiers are covered in blood."

"Are you worthy of them? Are you worthy of the founding father? Are you worthy of the Zhennan Army?"

The moment he saw Tuesday's face, Thursday understood everything in an instant.

Thursday screamed at the top of his lungs.

The corners of my mouth were constantly bleeding, but it was never as painful as the bleeding in my heart.

Zhou Zhou really didn't expect that his second brother, the second adopted son of the patron king, would actually collude with the Nanman and betray the Zhennan Army.

Moreover, on Tuesday, he also secretly helped the Nanmen break through the Nanmen Pass, causing tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhennan Army to be bloodied throughout the Nanmen Pass.

This was really hard to accept on Thursday.

No wonder Thursday always felt that something was wrong with this Nanman sneak attack on Nanmen Pass, and many things were a bit inexplicable.

It turns out that it was the insider Tuesday who was behind this.

"Fourth, I also have a hard time talking about it."

"Some things are beyond my control."

"Now that this is the case, you should put down your weapons and surrender!"

"We have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, haven't you understood the truth yet?"

"We are all knives in the hands of others, the knives in the hands of Da Zhou, and the knives in the hands of our adoptive father. Just like Lao Qi, when it is useful, he is the sharpest knife; when it is useless, he is discarded

An abandoned son of."

"Even if you die in battle now, it doesn't mean anything, and no one will remember you."

"So, you don't really have to work so hard, it's not worth it."

"We have lived and died for Da Zhou for so many years, and we should have paid back what we should have long ago."

"With me here, if you put down your weapons and surrender, they won't make things difficult for you."

Tuesday persuaded Thursday with earnest words.

"Shut up."

"Tuesday, now I can really see you clearly. You are an ungrateful villain."

"If your adoptive father hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death in that corner."

"You are still shamelessly saying these things. Let me tell you, you were ungrateful and greedy for life on Tuesday, but I am not afraid of death on Thursday."

"Today, I will clean up the house for my adoptive father and kill you, a villain who colluded with the Southern Barbarians and betrayed the Zhenbei Army."

After Thursday finished speaking, he used up the last strength of his body and rushed towards Tuesday with a knife.

Swish, brush, brush...

Just when Thursday took a step forward, a dense rain of arrows shot towards Thursday.

"Puch."

In the blink of an eye, Thursday was like a hedgehog, full of sharp arrows.

Bright red blood kept flowing from Thursday's mouth.

The knife raised in Thursday's hand also stopped in mid-air, he glared at Tuesday fiercely, staggered back a few steps, turned over and fell off the wall.

"Fourth..."

Tuesday shouted, watching Thursday being pierced by thousands of arrows and falling off the wall, he closed his eyes helplessly.

They are both adopted sons of the patron king and have some affection for each other.

After all, they all grew up together under the patron king.

It would be a lie to say that they have no feelings for each other at all.

…

"Sons."

"The South Gate Pass has been broken, and nothing in the Great Zhou Dynasty can stop our Southern Barbarian warriors."

"The women and money of Dazhou are all waiting for my Nanman warriors to get them."

"We enter the customs, first raid the southern Xinjiang, and then join the other three parties to hunt the Central Plains."

The Nanman commander said loudly.

"First raid the southern border, and then hunt the central plains."

The Nanman army shouted loudly and entered the Nanmen Pass.

Nanmen Pass, this great pass in southern Xinjiang that had resisted the Southern Barbarians for many years, was just broken by the Southern Barbarians.

…

Zhennancheng.

The palace of the patron king.

At this moment, more than ten generals gathered together.

Zhou Yi glanced at the dozen generals with an ugly expression and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened tonight?"

"Why are so many soldiers in various military camps suffering from diarrhea, and why is there chaos in the city?"

"Who are they who are causing trouble in the city, setting fires everywhere and causing riots?"

Monday's voice contained suppressed anger.

When the patron king Zhou Zhan left, he left Zhou Yi fully responsible for all matters in southern Xinjiang.

But within a few days, chaos broke out in the city. Someone set fires everywhere, causing the entire Zhennan City to become unstable.

Especially in the military camp, many soldiers had diarrhea for no apparent reason tonight.

This made Zhou feel that things were not simple.

"General Monday, I'm afraid someone is deliberately trying to create chaos. The soldiers may have been drugged."

A general said cautiously.

"That's right, looking at the situation tonight, there is someone behind it, and the purpose should not be simple."

"Also, to be able to drug the soldiers quietly, the identity of the person behind this is not ordinary."

Another general said with twinkling eyes.

Many soldiers in the army suffered from diarrhea, which was obviously because they had been drugged.

Needless to say, being able to drug soldiers quietly in the army is not something that ordinary people can do.

As soon as the general's words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

No one is a fool.

Such an obvious answer must be that there is a traitor in the army.

Listening to the words of the two generals on Monday, he said with a gloomy face, "I don't want to listen to these speculations. These are just lice on the bald head. It's obvious, why do you need to say it?"

"What I want is results."

"You should put the whole city under martial law immediately and investigate this matter thoroughly. Anyone with problems should be arrested first."

"The military camp must also be under strict martial law. The army must be prepared for war. The armor must never leave the body, the sword must never leave the hand, and the army must be ready for war at any time."

I issued several orders in succession on Monday.

What happened tonight made Zhou Zhou feel uneasy. He always felt that something big might happen tonight.

"besides."

"Immediately send out detective cavalry to explore the situation at Nanmen Pass and within a hundred miles outside the city."

Monday added another sentence.

As soon as Monday finished speaking, there was a burst of noise outside.

Before Monday could ask what was going on, a figure forcibly broke into the meeting hall.

"Li stall head?"

Seeing the figure that broke in, Zhou Zhou frowned.

The man who broke in, whom I met on Monday, was Li Taotou, the leader of Dongchang in southern Xinjiang.

It's just that Li Dongtou's whole body is now covered in scars, and his flying eagle uniform is in tatters.

Obviously, this was a state of fighting.

"Li Stall, what's going on with you?"

"Even if you are from Dongchang and have privileges, you cannot just break into the palace of the patron king without notification."

Zhou Yi looked at Li Stall and said dissatisfied.

"General Monday, I have important news, so I have to break into the palace."

Li Dutou was breathing heavily, no longer hesitating, and said directly: "On Tuesday, we colluded with the Nanman and cooperated internally and externally to break through the Nanmen Pass, and the entire Nanmen Pass defenders were wiped out."

"Moreover, the chaos in the city tonight was also caused secretly by people on Tuesday."

"On Tuesday, they also sent people to attack our Dongchang stronghold. Except for me, all the factory guards in our Dongchang stronghold were killed."

"Please also ask General Zhou to make preparations early. The Nanman army has already entered the pass."

As soon as Li Baotou said these words.

The expressions of everyone sitting in the meeting hall changed greatly.

"What did you say?"

"The southern barbarian army has entered the pass?"

"The whole army at Nanmen Pass was wiped out? Did the second brother collude with the Nanman?"

Zhou Yi thought he had heard wrongly, so he stood up and looked at Mr. Li in disbelief.

Not only Monday, but also the other generals present stood up in shock.

This news was really shocking, so shocking that everyone present could not believe it.

"Yes, if General Zhou doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate immediately."

"However, I advise General Zhou to arrange the army first and set up the defense line, so as not to catch the Southern Barbarian army by surprise."

"I have said everything that needs to be said. General Monday, I will take my leave now."

After Li Baotou finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Something big happened in Southern Xinjiang. As the person in charge of Dongchang in Southern Xinjiang, he had to send the news back to Luoyang immediately.

After Li Tantou left, they still had not recovered from the shock on Monday.

On Tuesday, they actually colluded with the Nanman and broke through the Nanmen Pass. This is simply unbelievable.

Who is Tuesday? This is the adopted son of the patron king.

How could such a person do such a betrayal?

However, people like them on Monday also understood that it was impossible for people in Dongchang to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, let alone make fun of it.

This thing is probably true.
