Chapter 340 Failed Negotiation

On the sixth day of August in the new Yuli calendar 1331, night

The 30-strong army in Chengkang County walked for six hours, from daytime to late at night. It took six hours and covered about a thousand miles. Hou Yucheng's army behind them finally arrived at midnight.

There is no official road between Hexi and Southern Xinjiang. Whether it is the army on Hou Yuxiao's side or Hou Yucheng's side, they can only choose to march in the wilderness. The wilderness at Zishi was originally pitch black, but at this time there were hundreds of thousands of them. The torches were shining, and it was not dark at all.

Hou Yuxiao stood high in the sky and looked down from a distance. The lights stretched for at least dozens of miles, like a fire dragon traveling through the dark night, which gave people a sense of grandeur.

But soon, after taking a general glance at the number of people in the army below, his face suddenly became a little confused. He turned to look at Hou Yucheng and asked:
"Didn't I just ask you to bring over 20 Red Flame Army and [-] Zhaoyang Army? How many troops did you bring over?"

Hou Yucheng, who had just traveled more than 1000 miles, could not find any trace of fatigue on his face. Instead, he was full of excitement about the current war. When he heard Hou Yuxiao's inquiry, he hurriedly explained: "Brother, there is something new!"

"what's the situation?"

"Currently the majority of the clan's armies are in Longxiang and Jiuxian counties. Longxiang in the east has 20 Red Flame troops and Hexi army 20. Jiuxian County in the west has 20 Red Yan troops and [-] Zhaoyang troops. , In addition, there are [-] Hexi Army.

I planned to transfer the 20 Red Flame Army from Longxiang according to what you said, and transfer the remaining [-] Zhaoyang Army from Jiuying County, but after I went to Jiuying County, my subordinates told me Lei Yinsi transferred a lot of their garrison from Yinkang County. I personally sneaked over to investigate and found that this was indeed the case.

Leiyin Temple previously released 20 Disha monk soldiers and 30 Huang Chan troops in Yinkang County. After I went there yesterday, I found that they only had [-] Huang Chan troops left! "

Of the 50-strong army, only [-] were left, and the ones left behind were not the Disha monk soldiers, but ordinary Huang Chan soldiers...

"Last month, when Junior Sister Qing Ning came to visit me in Fucheng, she told me that Master, together with Xun Mu, Meng Qu, and Jing Yuanxiu of the Wanjian Holy Sect, the four of them went to Jianye Mansion to find Shi Tian , I don’t know why, and I haven’t gone back until now.”

Hou Yuxiao suddenly recalled the message she told Zhao Qingxue when she said goodbye to her in Fucheng, and her expression immediately brightened.

"Leiyin Temple, something happened?"

"Yes, something happened to Leiyin Temple. There is currently no news coming out of Jianye Fucheng. The third sister's people in the Hou family used to get news every ten days, but now there has been no news for more than a month. When we come back, there is only one explanation for this situation, which is that Leiyin Temple has blocked the city, and the garrison of Yinkang County must have been transferred back by them."

Only then did Hou Yuxiao understand why Hou Yucheng had brought so many people here. The army stationed in Jiuxun County in Hexi was to guard against Leiyin Temple's army in Yinkang County. Since Leiyin Temple had all the Yinkang County army If they withdraw, then they naturally don't need to keep too many troops in Jiu Falcon.

"So, I brought all the 20 Red Flame Army and 20 Zhaoyang Army from Jiufong County. It should be enough to leave only 40 Hexi Army for garrison. In addition, I brought the 30 Red Flame Army from Longxiang County. There are [-] troops coming, plus the [-] troops from Big Brother’s side. This time, with all the elites of our Hou family, we can defeat the Five Miaos in one fell swoop and take over Southern Xinjiang!”

Hou Yuxiao nodded, his expression gradually calming down.

"Let the army continue to advance south, and I will call the three brothers of the Gao family."

"yes, Sir."

The 70 troops below seemed to be slowly marching south, but that was because he was in the sky. In fact, their marching speed was very fast. Even just now, when the army led by Hou Yucheng converged, it didn't take too long.

Hou Yuxiao didn't wait long. Hou Yucheng, together with the three Gao family members, flew behind him from below.

"Our army is heading south. Southern Xinjiang probably doesn't know yet. Second brother, you and Gao Changlong will lead the 20 Red Flame Army first. How long will it take at the earliest to march from here to the nearest Heimiao City?"

Hou Yucheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he knew that Hou Yuxiao was deploying tactics. He made some rough calculations and reported back: "This place is still more than 20 miles away from Heimiao City. If we only bring [-] Red Flame troops, we will I can guarantee that I’ll be there in six hours!”

The Zhaoyang Army was equipped with high-quality war horses, and their marching speed was slightly slower. The 30-strong army just marched at the Zhaoyang Army's speed, covering about a thousand miles in six hours, which is about 160 miles per hour.

The Red Flame Army can march very fast alone. It can march nearly three hundred miles per hour at the fastest, or one thousand seven hundred miles, which indeed takes less than six hours.

Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment, looked at Hou Yucheng and ordered: "Then you and Gao Changlong will lead the 20 Red Flame Army to the south of Heimiao City before fighting. Remember, you can't reveal your whereabouts without my order. It is even more forbidden to attack the city without authorization."

"yes, Sir!"

"Gao Changhu, you will follow Yucheng with a hundred thousand Red Flame Army. When you arrive at Heimiao City, you will go directly to the southwest to garrison. Set up scout posts along the way. If there is any change, please notify us as soon as possible."

"Subordinates obey!"

"Gaochang Bao, you will lead the remaining 40 Zhaoyang troops. Continue marching south. We will arrive in ten hours at normal speed. I will give you another hour to repair on the way. When we get to Heimiao City, I will order you to attack as soon as possible. ,Understand?"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Hou Yuxiao's three arrangements are not complicated.

Gaochang Leopard's 40 Zhaoyang Army went south to attack Heimiao City head-on.

Hou Yucheng and Gao Changlong led their troops to take a detour. The main reason was to take them by surprise. They could cooperate with Gao Changbao's 40 Zhaoyang army in front of them to attack the Black Miao city together. Secondly, they were to prevent the Black Miao army from escaping southward after the battle, or the White Miao reinforcements. , go north to support;

Gao Changhu's [-]-strong army went to garrison southwest of Heimiao City, and what they were defending was Qingmiao City, which was ninety miles southwest of Heimiao City.

Hou Yuxiao had basically finalized the plan to attack the Black Miao City in mid-air. The three brothers Hou Yucheng and Gao had already seen the map of the Five Miao in Southern Xinjiang. They had been leading the army for nearly ten years, and their arrangements for Hou Yuxiao had not been known since. After a little thought, you can understand that none of the four people raised any objections. It was obvious that they all agreed with Hou Yuxiao's plan.

"Brother, where are you going?"

Hou Yuxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked to the south, and said softly: "I will go to Heimiao City first and talk to them to see if we can win without fighting!"

………………

Less than a day has passed since Heigu, the leader of the Black Miao tribe, was beheaded by Qingxuan. Hou Yuxiao was not sure whether the news had reached Heimiao City, but it seems that if the news was known to the people of the Black Miao tribe, Under normal circumstances, the Black Miao people would definitely break with the Qingmiao people. Of course, it is unrealistic to expect them to raise troops to attack the Qingmiao people!

Although Hou Yuxiao hoped so, he still understood in his heart.

There are only five martial arts sub-sages in the southern Xinjiang Five Miao, who are also the clan leaders of the five Miao. The Black Miao are missing one martial arts sub-sage. It would be good if they are not afraid of the Qingmiao coming over. Raising troops to attack the Qingmiao is impossible.

Although he had deployed an siege, it would be more cost-effective if he could capture Heimiao City without any bloodshed. The breakup of Wu Miao had become a reality, and he would have had a chance. If he could successfully persuade Heimiao to surrender, he would then attack the other four Miao. The war will become smoother.

This was accomplished in one fell swoop, and he would naturally try his best to facilitate it.

He rushed to Heimiao City by himself, which was much faster than the marching speed. In less than half an hour, he was already standing in the sky above Heimiao City.

In the dark night sky, seeing that everything in the city was normal, no personnel moved, and most people were still immersed in their sleep, Hou Yuxiao knew immediately that the news of Heigu's murder had not reached Heimiao City yet.

"Lao Wu said that when Heigu went to Qingmiao City, he brought two Broken Realm great masters with him. Unexpectedly, there were still two Broken Realm masters left in the city. For just one Black Miao, there was a martial arts sub-sage and four Broken Realm masters. Yes, there are more than 20 Shattered Realm experts in the entire southern Xinjiang Five Miao..."

Hou Yuxiao released his breath and felt a little frightened after sensing the situation in the city. There were more than twenty powerful masters in the Broken Realm, which was more than some holy places in China. No wonder it was said that 400 years ago, Southern Xinjiang was comparable to a holy land, even if Wu Miao is now Together, the difference from the Holy Land is only that of a martial arts saint. I really don't know what the situation in southern Xinjiang was like 400 years ago.

"Who are you, and why did you break into our Heimiao City without permission?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out from in front of him. Hou Yuxiao looked up and looked ahead. Two old men dressed in black clothes from southern Xinjiang with animal tooth ornaments hanging around their necks had flown into the air from the city at some point. They were staring at him warily. .

Hou Yuxiao's expression was extremely kind, he cupped his hands and said softly: "I, Hou Yuxiao from Yongzhou and Hexi, dare I ask the two elders of the Black Miao ethnic group, what are their surnames?"

Hexi Hou Yuxiao......

The two old men looked at each other, and their expressions instantly became wary.

The reputation of Hexi in China has long spread to southern Xinjiang. The two of them remembered that when the Hexi Alliance was established five years ago, Wu Miao had specially discussed countermeasures for this matter and even sent Qing Wu of the Qing Miao ethnic group to Xingnan Fucheng. Hou Yuxiao, the Thousand-Faced Jade Man, is not an unknown person, and his reputation in Wanglongshan's battle with Fahai is even more impressive.

Thinking of this, the two of them not only looked more alert, but also put their hands behind their backs, obviously making some preparations.

"I'm Hei Yan."

"I'm at Black Court."

Hou Yuxiao frowned. The preparations of the two people with their hands behind their hands could not escape his eyes. Until now, he had not shown any hostility at all. The two of them were actually ready to take action. He came here just for this reason. He surrendered to avoid a fight between the two sides. He took a deep breath, pretended not to see it, and hurriedly said:

"Two clan elders, don't you know the news about Qingmiao City?"

"Qingmiao City, what's the news?"

The two frowned slightly and asked in unison.

Hou Yuxiao immediately feigned surprise and said: "To tell you the truth, Hou just came from Qingmiao City. Last night, Qingxuan, the patriarch of the Qingmiao tribe and the lord of the temple, together with Duanmu Hong, the left protector of the Raksha Holy Cult, beheaded you. Heigu, the leader of the Black Miao tribe, Hou thought that the news had been conveyed, but he didn’t expect..."

When the two of them heard Hou Yuxiao's words, their expressions obviously changed. Hei Yan on the left looked horrified and said, "Qing Xuan, how is it possible to kill the leader of my clan?"

"This is absolutely true. Mr. Hou can guarantee it with his life. If you two don't believe it, you can sneak into Qingmiao City on your own and find out."

The two were silent for a while, and Hei Ting on the right frowned slightly, looked at Hou Yuxiao and raised his hand and asked, "Dare to ask, Master Hou came here to tell us this news, what is he asking for?"

Upon hearing this question, Hou Yuxiao's heart suddenly sank.

It's not certain whether the two of them believed what he said, but Heiting deliberately asked such a question, which was obviously a sign that he was wary of himself, which was not a good sign.

"Hou happened to be going back to Hexi, so he stopped by, but you two are too worried!"

Talking about cooperation or even surrendering at this time would be tantamount to exposing one's ambitions towards southern Xinjiang. Once it arouses deeper suspicion between the two of them, the entire Heimiao City will be in turmoil, which will create unnecessary trouble for the Hexi army that will arrive in Heimiao City tomorrow morning. Trouble.

"Then I, Hei Miao, have to thank the Hou family master for his enthusiastic gesture. Why don't you, the Hou family master, follow me down and talk more about the details of Qing Miao City with me? You can also take the opportunity to let me and the two of you learn about the landlord's affairs." Friendship, how about it?"

Hou Yuxiao raised his head and stared at Hei Yan, who had a kind face and invited him. After more than ten breaths, he finally shook his head and chuckled: "You two are welcome, Hou has to rush back to Hexi, no need!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the animal tooth ornaments hanging on the necks of the two people in front of him erupted with a burst of intense light, and a fierce demonic energy surged out from them, instantly forming a black singularity behind them.

The momentum of the two Shattered Realm mighty men instantly spread over dozens of miles around, covering Hou Yuxiao. Two Bing long knives suddenly flew out from the top of their heads. After the two held it in their hands, they directly faced each other without any hesitation. Lifting Hou Yuxiao's head and slashing it suddenly, the two of them attacked directly, not giving him a chance to escape.

Clang………………

A terrifying sound of gold and stone interlacing instantly resounded in the sky above Heimiao City. Seeing Hou Yuxiao holding a long golden stick in his hand to block his own knife, the expressions of Hei Yan and Heiting sank at the same time.

"Aren't you two tempered a bit too much?"

Compared with the two of them, Hou Yuxiao's expression was more gloomy. When Hei Ting just sent out the invitation, he was basically sure that there was nothing to talk about, so he said that he would rush back to Hexi, and declined the two of them.

But he never thought that these two people would actually do it directly.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense to him, kill him first and then talk!"

The two of them did not talk to him at all. Hei Ting gave a fierce shout, and the long knife in his hand suddenly filled with black energy. After retracting it, it circled around his head and jumped into the air. Along with his slashing, three black knives of dozens of miles were fired. Anger suddenly hit Hou Yuxiao's face.

The sword energy directly brought out three space cracks in mid-air, revealing the three galaxies behind them. Although they were beautiful, they also had endless murderous potential.

"Galaxy Divine Sword, Heimiao's unique skill!"

Hou Yuxiao's eyes darkened, and he wanted to withdraw his Canglong stick to resist, but a huge force came from his hand. When he looked up, he found that it was Hei Yan who had not yet withdrawn, and he used a knife to hold his long stick, obviously deliberately giving Hei Yan Ting creates opportunities.

"Master Hou, don't leave in a hurry. Try my second brother's sword first."

Hou Yuxiao took a deep breath and furrowed his brows. Looking at the sneer on Hei Yan's face and Hei Ting who was about to chop him, a dark color flashed through his pupils, and he said in a low voice: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished with a drink. I kindly inform Hei Gu that he is being attacked." Kill, instead of looking for trouble with Qingxuan, you attacked me first, seeking death!"

As soon as the word "seeking death" came out, Hou Yuxiao's body shook violently, and a shattered singularity suddenly appeared behind him. The mysterious aura instantly enveloped his whole body, and his aura quickly climbed upwards. In an instant, Hei Yan and Heiting were killed. The momentum was completely suppressed.

"Just because of you two trash, you want to kill me?"

Before the battle, Hou Yuxiao didn't understand what Lao Wu said before, that the martial arts in southern Xinjiang were blocked and there was a gap between martial arts cultivators at the same level in China. But as soon as he felt the momentum of Hei Yan and Hei Ting, he understood instantly.

The great power of the Shattered Realm of China, his momentum covers an area of ​​more than a hundred miles at least.

But the momentum of these two people was only tens of miles away.

Hou Yuxiao suddenly pulled back the long stick in his hand. Hei Yan stumbled and was almost brought over by him. After taking back the long stick, Hou Yuxiao did not rush to take action, but focused on the beasts hanging around the necks of Hei Yan and Hei Ting. On tooth jewelry.

The cultivation of the two people seemed to have a lot to do with the ornament. If he remembered correctly, the southern Xinjiang warriors he met before seemed to have such an animal tooth ornament hanging around their necks.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

A rustling sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from the city below.

Hou Yuxiao looked down and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"Foreign enemies are invading, and the entire black Miao army in the city is preparing for war!"

The three of them fought for only a few breaths, and the Black Miao army below could not react so quickly.

"He is so arrogant if he wants to cause trouble in Heimiao City alone!"

Heiyan and Heiting stood together again, with sneers on their faces. They also knew the gap between themselves and the Shenzhou warriors. They also knew that Hou Yuxiao had a record of fighting Fahai alone, so from the beginning, the two understood that They would definitely not be able to fight, so before they took action, they secretly informed the army in the city.

No matter how strong Hou Yuxiao is, it is useless to suppress the 50 black Miao army with blood and blood!
Hou Yuxiao stared at the two of them with an ugly face, and his breathing became rapid. Outsiders could tell at a glance that he was obviously very angry.

After a long time, Hou Yuxiao showed a compromising expression and said in a gloomy tone: "The two clan elders are really good at it. If Hou is taught today, he will be rewarded in the future, hum!"
