Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

As soon as Zhang Yi said this, King Chu Lie's heart jumped twice and he subconsciously looked at Hai Chaosheng.

In his opinion, the Chu State could gain [-] miles of territory without spending a single soldier, just by standing by and watching. There is nothing better than this.

If it weren't for the power of Chihe Palace, he would have been eager to agree.

In fact, not only King Chu Lie, but also Hai Chaosheng was a little moved by Zhang Yi's proposal.

In his eyes, South Korea is already the weakest country among the six countries. Even if Wei does not attack, Chu will have ideas sooner or later.

Now Wei is afraid of Chihe Palace and his cultivation, so he is willing to give up South Korea's interests.

He was happy to see this happen.

Their Chihe Palace can also use this to increase some of their strength.

Hai Chaosheng looked Zhang Yi up and down, and when he saw his frightened look, he couldn't help but raise his head and said after a while: "The king will take care of this matter."

He waved his sleeves, and balls of flames burst out from his whole body, surrounding him.

After the flame went out, it disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Hai Chaosheng, the master of Chihe Palace, had no objection, King Chu Lie knew that the matter was settled and immediately agreed to Zhang Yi's proposal.

King Chu Lie said: "If you can let our Chu country get [-] miles of South Korea, you will be our Chu country's hero. I once heard people from the Wei State say that your ambition is to be the prime minister, and I can realize it." That’s my wish.”

Zhang Yi said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Subsequently, King Chu Lie announced that he had severed relations with South Korea, and all envoys seeking help from South Korea disappeared.

Seeing that King Chu Lie had fulfilled his promise, Zhang Yi took the initiative to resign and planned to return to Wei.

Before leaving, King Chu Lie granted Zhang Yi the Prime Minister's Seal of Chu State and also presented a large amount of property.

In order to prevent Zhang Yi from going back on his word, he sent another general and an envoy to follow Zhang Yi back to Wei State, waiting to receive the [-] miles of land that Wei State had conquered in South Korea.

It was already a month later when Zhang Yi returned to Wei.

At this time, the [-]-strong army led by Wu Qi had arrived in South Korea and began to have confrontations and contacts with the South Korean army.

But Zhao Hongming was a little dissatisfied with the battle report sent back by Wu Qi.

So far, Wu Qi has only captured one city in South Korea, which is much slower than he expected.

Wu Qi mentioned in the battle report that they encountered many Korean assassins on their way to South Korea. Many people in the army were attacked, which slowed down their advance.

Now when attacking the city, those assassins are even more elusive, which greatly affects morale.

The attack on South Korea did not go as smoothly as they initially expected.

In addition, South Korea is well-equipped.

It has no impact on Wei Wuzu, but it is also troublesome for other recruiting armies.

So Wu Qi planned to spend some time and adopt a siege strategy to encroach on South Korea.

Zhao Hongming put down the battle report sent by Wu Qi, remained silent, and began to think deeply about Wu Qi's proposal.

Gao Yanshi walked in quickly from outside the palace, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lang Zhongling has returned from the Kingdom of Chu."

"What's the result?" Zhao Hongming asked softly.

Gao Yanshi said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Lang Zhongling has lived up to expectations. Chu State has now severed relations with South Korea and expelled South Korea's envoys."

"Okay." Zhao Hongming slapped the table and said happily: "If this is the case, then South Korea will definitely perish this time, and no one can save them."

After saying that, he walked out of the case and ordered: "Gao Yinjian, now that the politics in the court are clear, I plan to go to General Zonghan. Please prepare."

"Ah?" Gao Yanshi, who has become the eunuch of the palm seal, said in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you really want to conquer it yourself?"

"The advance of the front line is a bit slow. I can't just sit down in the high hall. When I am not in the palace for a period of time, it is not a big deal to let the left and right prime ministers preside over political affairs."

After saying that, Zhao Hongming strode out of the hall.

Royal South Garden.

The two horses strolled leisurely on the pasture, lowering their heads to nibble on the tender green grass from time to time, and then raised their heads happily.

If you look closely, you will see that these two horses are different from ordinary horses.

One of the horses was huge, covered with black scales, like a giant beast. It was the dragon colt that Zhao Hongming snatched from the main gate.

Another female foal, similar in size to the dragon colt, with shiny hair, faint oozing of blood and sweat, and a special fragrance, is a sacred horse presented by the Yan Kingdom.

A breeze blew by, causing their hair to flutter slightly.

Longju raised his head and shook his ears.

Suddenly, it cautiously approached the head of another horse and rubbed it gently with its ears. The Yanma responded by rubbing it gently with its ears as well.

The two horses were rubbing each other's ears, enjoying the close contact with each other.

Their eyes met and their tails flicked, as if they were communicating silently.

This silent communication seemed to be filled with love and trust.

"Roar!"

For some reason, Longju suddenly roared.

The mare next to her lowered her head as if she understood.

The dragon colt opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue around the female foal, ran around in a circle with excitement, and then lay on the female colt's back in broad daylight, talking about it deeply and easily.

Suddenly the grass and trees were flying, and the ground was filled with sand and rocks.

After less than a moment of tossing, the dragon colt got off the mare's back and kept snoring, as if his mood suddenly improved a lot.

At this moment, Zhao Hongming, who had changed into light armor, had already walked to Nanyuan.

Longju sensed Zhao Hongming's call and ran out with a puff of smoke towards Zhao Hongming's place with his mouth open like a street kid without any nostalgia.

Zhao Hongming grabbed its dragon whiskers, stepped on it, turned over and sat on it.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?"

Through Longju's two dragon whiskers, Zhao Hongming sensed Longju's emotions.

He was a little puzzled.

"Hoho, Xilulu!"

The spiritual dragon horse turned its head and looked at Zhao Hongming proudly, which made Zhao Hongming a little confused.

Zhao Hongming simply drove his horse towards the outside of the city without thinking any more.

Now he has kept his word in Wei State, and no one dares to disobey him.

A team of [-] people had already been formed and was waiting for him outside the city.

Zhao Hongming hung a sword on his waist and rushed towards South Korea's position.

……

The chill of early spring in Korea has not completely gone away.

Located in Xinzheng County on the border of Wei and South Korea, the figures of Wei soldiers gradually emerged.

Although South Korea sent many assassins, they still did not stop the Wei army.

The Korean army, which had already understood the movements of the Wei army, began to gather outside the city.

In front of them, there were heads hanging on seven flags.

These are the heads of some officers captured by Korean assassins in the Wei army camp.

The leader raised the heads of the Wei army high, which raised the morale of the Korean army outside the city.

The leader shouted: "The so-called Wei army is nothing more than this. Brothers, please remember to kill the enemy with me on the battlefield."

"kill!"

Their equipment is well-equipped, and you can tell at a glance that they are not Korean ragtag troops.

However, they did not know that what they were facing was the powerful Wei Wu soldiers of Wei State, an army that was like a scourge.

It didn't take long for these Korean troops to see that Wei's troops had arrived in Xinzheng.

The latter noticed the Korean army and immediately spread out their lineup in the vast wasteland outside the city.    Huge quantity.

These Wei troops had been well-trained and arranged in neat formations in less than a month after Wu Qi took over.

On the vast plain, from a distance, the figures of these Wei soldiers looked particularly tall and mighty in the wilderness, like stars, densely scattered everywhere, and the weapons in their hands shone coldly in the sun.

The commanding soldiers of the Wei army rode horses and shuttled back and forth between the arrays.

There were not too many words, and there was no intention of calling a formation.

After Wei declared war on South Korea, the two sides had entered a state of war.

At this time, the two armies met and could only fight to the death.

The cavalry commander of Wei State waved the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Forward!!"

His voice echoed over the battlefield.

Following the commander's order, the soldiers of the Wei State put down their Changge one after another and entered a fighting state.

The formation of Wei Wu soldiers behind them also drew their sabers from their waists and pressed forward behind them.

The sound of war drums echoed across the wasteland like thunder, shocking the soul.

The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but shout in unison, with great momentum.

The entire wasteland was shrouded in this chilling atmosphere.

Jiang Yuguang, the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, stood in front of the formation, his eyes firm and decisive.

He looked at the Wei army that was about to rush over, raised the sharp sword in his hand, and shouted: "Slaughter the Wei thieves, kill them!"

Rumble!
  The two armies collided in the wasteland outside Xinzheng City, like two huge forces colliding with each other.

Arrows rained down, and deafening drumbeats and shouts echoed across the battlefield.

This time to attack Xinzheng, Wu Qi sent an army of [-], including [-] Wei soldiers.

This number is almost twice that of the Korean army.

The army of Wei State came like a tide.

They used spears and steel knives to kill the Korean troops.

Especially later, Wei soldiers were not afraid of death, and with their high level of cultivation, they killed particularly ruthlessly.

In the eyes of Wei Wuzu, every Korean soldier has the merit of walking.

Gradually, as the fighting continued on the battlefield, the Korean soldiers discovered that the Wei soldiers were too fast and fierce, so they couldn't help but start to retreat.

Their defense line was broken through by Wei Wuzu, and many Korean soldiers began to flee, and were then ruthlessly killed by Wei Wuzu who caught up.

In this battle, many assassins from South Korea's three major martial arts forces participated.

On the battlefield, they continued to harvest the lives of Wei soldiers.

But compared with the huge number of Wei troops, their results seemed insignificant.

Even some assassins were no match for Wei Wuzu and were killed in the chaos.

In just one round of confrontation, Han Jun was beaten to despair by Wei Jun.

Jiang Yuguang, the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield and couldn't believe it: "How can Wei's army be so powerful?"

At this moment, a Korean ambush suddenly rushed out from the side.

They suddenly appeared on the battlefield with their sharp swords and sharp body skills, slashing at the Wei soldiers.

Although their numbers are small, their cultivation and combat effectiveness are obviously more than one level higher than those of the Korean troops on the battlefield.

The soldiers of Wei State were disrupted by this sudden attack.

If it were just Wei Wu soldiers, they could reorganize the offensive.

Unfortunately, many of the Wei soldiers were recruited from other armies or from civilians, and their quality was also uneven.

It is extremely difficult to reach the point where we can stop advancing and retreating.

It is obviously not enough to achieve the level of Wei Wuzu.

With the sudden appearance of this Korean army, the Wei army became confused.

They tried to reorganize their formation.

At this critical moment, Jiang Yuguang led the remaining soldiers to launch a final charge.

In the fierce battle, the blood donations of the two soldiers dyed the wilderness red.

The Korean army's desperate charge prevented Wei's soldiers from achieving their expected goals.

The Wei soldiers who lost their rhythm were unable to capture the last Korean army.

In the end, Wu Qi chose to call Jin and withdraw his troops.

After leaving countless corpses on the battlefield, Wei Wuzu began to retreat with some confusion.

In this first confrontation, South Korea lost nearly half of its troops.

In contrast, Wei State also lost nearly [-] soldiers, and the battle losses were only slightly better than those of South Korea.

Fortunately, most of the losses were from the troops mobilized by Wei State, and Wei soldiers did not suffer much loss.

After this battle, Wu Qi also made a judgment on the defenders of Xinzheng.

In the evening, there was silence outside Xinzheng City.

Only the remaining fireworks and corpses on the battlefield bear witness to this fierce battle.

South Korean commander-in-chief Jiang Yuguang silently looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield, his heart filled with sorrow and despair.

Today's first confrontation, I saw how terrifying the Wei army was.

However, this was still the result of Wei's failure to do its best.

Wei Jun's [-] troops have not yet pressed them all.

Once Wei's [-]-strong army advances together, they have no chance of winning.

We can only try our best to buy time and wait for South Korea's main force to come to support after it is formed.

That night, in Xinzheng County.

Jiang Yuguang summoned his subordinates to discuss today's war.

"Everyone, what do you think of this battle?" Jiang Yuguang asked, sitting in the main seat.

One of his subordinates replied: "General, the Wei army is at its peak, and our small force cannot resist it. Today's battle may be just a test by the Wei army. They just captured Lu County, so they may have learned their lesson and fought very cautiously. According to reports As far as I know, their main force of Wei soldiers have not been fully used yet."

"Yes, if Yangzhai doesn't send reinforcements quickly, we Xinzheng will not be able to defend it at all. It will be a matter of time before we are attacked. Once Xinzheng is defeated, the seven or eight cities behind will not be able to defend it. If this continues, they will If you can divide your troops into several groups, occupy Shangdang, and point your troops at Kyoto."

Jiang Yuguang remained silent after listening.

Today, South Korea is surrounded by the Wei State in the east and north, and the Chu State in the south. Basically, all the land that can be occupied has been occupied.

Apart from snatching the territory of Wei and Chu, there is not much room for development.

If we want to survive this crisis, other than letting Chu take action, there is little chance of victory.

Right now, he had no direction as to what to do.

"What nonsense!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout in the room.

A man's voice suddenly appeared in the room.

"Who?"

Jiang Yuguang stood up suddenly and drew his sword. Other subordinates also drew their swords and became nervously on guard.

From a dark place in the room, the figure of a masked man slowly emerged.

Jiang Yuguang recognized this person's identity at a glance and said unexpectedly: "Headmaster Min Zong!!" (End of this chapter)
