witch chaotic country

Chapter 725
"How could there be so many casualties?! Didn't I tell you to just besiege and not attack, and not to fight with them? How come even the leader was killed!"

Everyone said that Cui Situ was elegant and modest, he had followed the Taoism for many years, and he had a sense of immortality, and he never had disputes when getting along with others.But at this moment, Cui Hao couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

If Kou Qianzhi had agreed to help him in the first place, why would he be so desperate?Now this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise so many heavy cavalry soldiers died at the same time, it would be difficult not to arouse suspicion.

"Prepare the car and enter the palace!"

Cui Hao's carriage galloped all the way, and when he entered the palace gate, he took out his token directly, and the carriage drove into the inner palace almost without stopping.

Speaking of the token for entering and exiting the inner palace by car, Tuoba Tao thought that Cui Hao always walked slowly in clogs, half as a joke, and half to show his reliance on Cui Situ, so he gave it to him.

It's just that although Cui Hao has a token, he has never used it. Today is really the first time he has experienced it.The guards at the palace gate looked at the carriage going away, muttering in a low voice, wondering if something urgent happened.

After the carriage is the sedan chair, Cui Hao seems to have used all his privileges today, just to meet Tuoba Tao sooner.

As expected by Cui Hao, Tuoba Tao got drunk again last night.Ever since the Queen Mother passed away, Tuoba Tao had often "borrowed wine to relieve his sorrows", and no one in the harem dared to persuade him.

When Cui Hao arrived, Zong Ai was coming out of the bedroom holding his forehead.Although Cui Hao didn't like Zong'ai, he knew that he would like Tuoba Tao the most, but no matter what Zong'ai said in the past few days, it would arouse Tuoba Tao's anger.

Zong Ai brushed past Cui Hao, tightly clasped his hands covering the wound, blood seeped out from between his fingers.

It was inconvenient to say much because of her disheveled appearance, Zong Ai bowed slightly to Cui Hao and nodded as a greeting, and then went to treat the wound.

As soon as Cui Hao entered the bedroom, he lifted up the hem of his clothes, straightened up, and knelt down meticulously.

At this time, Tuoba Tao woke up from a hangover and a splitting headache. Seeing his posture, his anger surged up again, "You don't need to do this kind of literary trick, tell me, what bad news do you have for me?" ?”

"Your Majesty, please send troops immediately to attack Qiu Chi."

Tuoba Tao straightened up abruptly, causing his headache to worsen. He patted his temple several times, "Say it again?"

Cui Hao bowed slowly, "Tuyuhun has already found an excuse to send troops. Tan invites rain to offend Vulcan Mountain, causing the mountain god to be angry, and lava overflows! Whether it is the Great Wei or Liu Song, there are rumors that there is a witch in the Tan family. The star caused the harem of each dynasty to be unstable and endangered the world. Both Empress Liu Song and our empress dowager died under his curse. Now that Tan Daoji has left Liu Song, he no longer has military power. It is the right time for Your Majesty to send troops in the name of crusade."

Tuoba Tao, who Zeng Jin couldn't wait to send troops to attack Qiu Chi, seemed unusually calm at this moment.

"Has Cui Situ ever had something that he wanted desperately but couldn't get?"

Cui Hao bowed his head, not knowing why Tuoba Tao asked this question at this time, he said frankly: "How can a person not have obsessions in this life? The reason why people are human is because greed breeds ignorance, delusion breeds thoughts, and thoughts breed delusion. In a busy life, although I will be alone in the end and everything will return to dust, but because of these delusional thoughts, I will not waste my time."

Tuoba Tao smiled wryly, "You're right. But obsession with this thing is only obsession when you can't get it. Once you get it, you feel nothing more than that."

Tuoba Tao picked up a dagger from his side and threw it to Cui Hao's side.Cui Hao glanced at the dagger, but didn't know what it meant.

Tuoba Tao said indifferently: "This is Tan Yaoyu's personal dagger. I gave it to Yingyan before leaving. Because of this dagger, I always regard Yingyan as a part of her. But in fact, Yingyan is just a For my love, I will only cater to my women."

"Tan Yaoyu is different. No one can force her to do what she doesn't want to do, not even me. Even if she wins, she will fight desperately and will never surrender."

Cui Hao raised his head abruptly, and said in a firm voice: "Your Majesty, sending troops to Qiuchi at this time is more than just to welcome back a queen! As long as we take Qiuchi, our army will have no worries about going south. The Southern Song Dynasty without Tan Daoji is not me at all. The opponent of the army! Doesn’t Your Majesty want to unify the Central Plains?!”

"As for how to make the celestial girl submit..." Cui Hao's tone suddenly softened, "I have my own way. Your Majesty, please order to send troops immediately."

Tuoba Tao glanced at Cui Hao, "How sure is Cui Qing in this battle?"

Cui Hao kowtowed and replied: "The craftsmen have imitated a hundred of Qiuchi's crossbows. Even if they are not as powerful, they can suppress their city defense if they are fired together. In terms of soldiers and horses, our army is ten times stronger than Qiuchi's." Chi. In terms of combat power, the great Wei cavalry has not been defeated. In terms of offense and defense, although Qiu Chi has taken in many refugees in the past few years and the population has gradually increased, the number of people who may fight has not increased much. Scattered everywhere, if our army advances from the north and gradually encircles Wudu County, the victory or defeat will be as close as nine to one."

What Cui Hao said hit Tuoba Tao's heart every sentence.It's not that he doesn't want to send troops, he desires this battle more than anyone else.But maybe the more you desire, the more fear you will feel when you are about to get it.

But he is Tuoba Tao after all, the real God of War Emperor.When the short-term fear faded away, Tuoba Tao got up and ordered without Cui Hao's words: "Immediately order troops, follow me!"

Cui Hao bowed deeply and kowtowed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

On the day when Tuoba Tao's edict was issued, pigeons and messengers set off at the same time, all the way west.

The imperial decree ordered the Zhenxi army to pull out their camp immediately, and before the king's army arrived, take Jiuquan as the boundary and take down the four towns north and west of Jiuquan. They can only win but not be defeated!
Just as the iron cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty approached Qiuchi step by step, Tan Yaoyu went further and further in the territory of Tuyuhun.With Yingfeng's foot strength, he could only rely on following the traces, barely following along the way.

Every time he sees the traces of blood on the side of the road, Yingfeng's heart hurts like a knife, he looks in the direction Tan Yaoyu is going, with a puzzled face, "Yu'er, where are you going? What exactly are you going to do?"

Yingfeng didn't believe that Tan Yaoyu had become possessed.Because she is clearly conscious.She can speak and move, and can distinguish friend from foe, so why is she a demon?

But if it is true as what Master said, she no longer cares about the lives of others and becomes an unintentional person, can she really protect Yao Yu forcibly regardless of the safety of others?

While thinking wildly, Yingfeng kept chasing after him.Today is already the third day, and Tan Yaoyu seems to show no sign of stopping at all.The surrounding scenery changed from depression to desolation, and from desolation to valleys.

In the depths of the sand dunes, Yingfeng finally saw the traces of Tan Yaoyu's stay.She seemed to be identifying the direction, and it seemed that her body finally couldn't hold on, and she spit out a big mouthful of blood.

Yingfeng glanced at the blood on the ground, and then at the bright red bloody handprint on the ground. The blood on it was still wet, she must be nearby!
Yingfeng immediately jumped onto a sand dune, his inner strength condensed under his feet, and with the force of the cloak wiping the moon, he directly stepped out of a deep hole in the sand dune under his feet!
Yingfeng flew into the air like an arrow. He thought he would search for a long time under the cover of the dune, but unexpectedly, he saw the end of the dune at a glance, the earth castle in the wind and sand, and the person standing in front of the earth castle, with a slender back But a straight person.
