Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 422

The seventh day of January 1333 in the new Yu calendar

Lincang Daocheng, South Gate Tower

Wanyanlie looked anxious, pacing left and right, looking up to the south from time to time, like an ant on a hot pot. His restless posture made Tuoba Tao, who was standing next to him, anxious.

"Why are you in a hurry? The Hou family's 200 million army will lose more than 190 in attacking twelve cities. No matter how fast the 300 million army is, it will only arrive at night. The two armies of Gyeonggi and Shuofeng are already rushing back. King Pingcheng has also brought an army of 50 million people. As long as our army of [-] people defends until dawn, reinforcements will arrive."

Although Wanyan Lie's footsteps stopped, the anxious look on his face did not disappear. He turned back to look at Tuoba Tao and said solemnly: "You said it easily, the three martial arts sub-sages Hou Yuxiao, Chu Kuangren, and Lu Kangping, The brothers of the Hou family, the Jiangbei League, and the Lu family, these three families combined have quite a lot of Shattered Realm powers. If you swarm them and defend them until dawn, where do you get the confidence?"

Tuoba Tao looked startled, and immediately frowned and said: "No, the three families are trying their best to fight for Lincang Road. For what? Besides, if they are like this, King Pingcheng will not ignore them!"

"The Emperor is being dragged by the alliance army on Dongyuan Road, and there is no way he can get anyone to come over. What will happen if King Pingcheng comes alone? Can he still stop the three martial arts masters Hou, Chu and Lu with one against three?"

After hearing this, Tuoba Tao's expression gradually changed.

Indeed, if the Hou family, Lu family, and Jiangbei League really put all their efforts and use all their masters, it is still unknown whether they can defend until dawn. Although the Daocheng is strong, it cannot withstand so many masters. He and Wanyan Not as strong as the Broken Realm cultivation, not to mention the three martial arts sub-sages Hou Yuxiao, even the more than ten Broken Realm powerful men under the three families, they can't withstand it.

"Why are you saying it now? Then we should notify the Emperor and Youzhou immediately. We will send some manpower over immediately. If Lincang Daocheng is really attacked by Hou Yuxiao, you and I will not be able to escape death!"

Wanyanlie's eyes darkened and he whispered: "Do you think I didn't inform you? I sent people to Dongyuan Road and Jindu. It stands to reason that they had received the news this morning, but now No one has come yet, why do you think this is?”

…………

After hearing the first half, Tuoba Tao's face immediately relaxed, but when he heard the next words, he was stunned again. After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, he suddenly raised his head with a trace of questioning in his eyes.

"You mean, the Emperor and Youzhou deliberately didn't send anyone?"

Wan Yanlie's face was as gloomy as blood, and he said in a very low voice: "Two million Red Flame Army have entered the territory of Lincang Road. It is impossible to send a large army to chase them in a short time. Rather than letting them run around in the three roads, it is better to use Let's hold them back. King Pingcheng's 200 million troops and the two million troops of Shuofeng, Gyeonggi are still on the way. No matter whether Hou Yuxiao takes down Lincang Daocheng or not, as long as the two armies encircle him, he will become a turtle in the urn. Its function is to hold him back, and whether we can hold it or not is entirely up to God."

After Tuoba Tao finished listening, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He has understood clearly that from the perspective of the Emperor Hepingcheng and even Youzhou, if Hou Yuxiao wants to attack Lincang Daocheng, then let them do it. His mission with Wanyan Lie is to take the 200 million at all costs. The Red Flame Army stays here, and everyone is happy if they can defend it. If the city cannot be defended, it will be lost. The two million Red Flame Army are also turtles in the urn and cannot escape.

The emperor and King Pingcheng are most worried about the chaos of the Red Flame Army, which will cause other greater impacts. Therefore, the top priority is to confirm the location of the Red Flame Army and destroy them. As for the safety of themselves and Wanyan Lie, they are not considered by the Jin Dynasty at all. within the range.

Sending Martial Arts Saint to help them defend the city will only make the Red Flame Army retreat. If the Red Flame Army changes its target again, the 500 million Holy Army who are rushing here will also follow suit, and the gain outweighs the loss.

"Before we informed, King Pingcheng didn't know the movements of Hou's 200 million Red Flame Army. This Hou Yuxiao must have some means to cover up the march of the army. The scouts we sent to Junyang Mansion were killed. , or else no information was found. The Hou family came here well prepared. King Pingcheng and the emperor should have known about it. In order not to lose the target again, they will definitely not send anyone here and deliberately keep us. Here, attract Hou Yuxiao to attack!"

The more Wanyan Lie spoke, the uglier his expression became. After all, he was one of the 28 princes of the Jin Dynasty, so he felt uncomfortable being treated like a victim. Tuoba Tao stood aside, lowered his head in thought for a moment, and his expression became much gloomier.

"Then what should we... do?"

Wanyan Lie turned his head and saw the sway on Tuoba Tao's face. His face suddenly darkened and he warned: "What else can we do? As princes of the Jin Dynasty, you and I should serve our lives for the Holy Dynasty. If the Emperor is not here, the Emperor The order with the king is an iron order, otherwise you and I will not respect the Jin law, and the fate of not respecting the Jin law, don't I need to say it?"

As soon as the four words "disrespect Jin Dharma" came out, Tuoba Tao was immediately shocked. It was hard to believe that he was a powerful person in the Broken Realm, but he would have such a reaction just after hearing these four words.

"Don't think about it, what I mean is, let's just wait here for Hou Yuxiao to attack, and do nothing?"

"What do you want to do?"

Tuoba Tao said in a low voice: "What if Hou Yuxiao sees the intention of the Emperor and King Pingcheng and doesn't come to attack Lincang Dao City?"

"This way, isn't it just right..."

After Wanyan Lie was silent for a while, he spoke with a faint expression.

Tuoba Tao was startled when he heard this. After understanding the meaning, his expression suddenly changed.

If they had not attacked Lincang Daocheng, they would have been saved!

Yes, if that's the case, then what else does he have to worry about.

If Hou Yuxiao doesn't come to attack Lincang Daocheng, he can only stay and guard Junyang Mansion.

There are two princes leading a million-strong army in Gyeonggi Province, and there is also a 300 million-strong army under the command of King Pingcheng on Jiuhua Road. Hou Yuxiao will either attack Lincang Daocheng or stay in Junyang Mansion.

According to normal logic, Lincang Daocheng should be captured. After all, there is a difference between defending the city. A Daocheng is much stronger than a Fucheng. His troops are overwhelming his side, so he is very sure of taking it. big.

Even if Hou Yuxiao saw the intentions of Emperor Yuliang and King Pingcheng, he would have no other choice unless...

Tuoba Tao suddenly thought of something and turned his head suddenly to look in the direction of Cangyuan Mountain to the west. Then he turned back and found that Wanyan Lie was staring at him, and both of their pupils flashed with horror.

"He... doesn't have the courage?"

"I have no idea!"

The conversation between the two of them was all conducted through sound transmission.

After they finished speaking, they did not dare to leave. They stayed on the south city gate tower, staring in the direction of Junyang Mansion City. The official roads and wilderness along the way were full of scouts, but even at midnight, there was still no one. A man came back to report that he had seen traces of the army.

"Now, there are only two possibilities left!"

"The two million troops are either still in Junyang Fucheng, or..."

There is still no sign of Hou's 200 million Red Flame Army. Wanyan Lie and Tuoba Tao both realized the seriousness of the problem. After hearing the two possibilities mentioned by Tuoba Tao, Wanyan Lie immediately interrupted him. .

"What about Junyang Fucheng? According to the distance, King Pingcheng's 300 million army should be near Junyang Fucheng now. If there is no news, it proves that they are not here. Their army should be..."

"Hou's 200 million Red Flame Army didn't come to attack the city?"

Suddenly, a voice of questioning came from mid-air. After being interrupted, Wanyan Lie not only did not show anger on his face, but immediately showed a trace of panic. He knelt in the air at the same time as Tuoba Tao next to him.

The one who came was Wanyan Jun, King of Pingcheng. There were two people beside him standing in the same position as him, and behind him were a total of six Broken Realm Great Powers. Their clothes were similar to those of Tuoba Tao Wanyan Lie, who was also the Marquis of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"Meet King Pingcheng, King Yucheng, and King Yongwei!"

Except for King Pingcheng who was sent by Emperor Yuliang from Dongyuan Dao, King Tuoba Kang of Yucheng and King Helian of Yongwei were all the same as the ten princes. Before Emperor Yuliang went on the expedition, the Jin Dynasty sent them to guard the three Dao. However, these The mission of these two people is quite special. They specialize in guarding the capital of Dayu. Even these two people came with King Pingcheng, which shows that the Jin Dynasty attaches great importance to the Hou family's 200 million army.

As soon as the 300 million troops under his command arrived near Junyang Fucheng, he confirmed that Hou's army was not in the city. He thought that Hou Yuxiao had led the army to attack Lincang Daocheng, so he asked the army to continue to Lincang Daocheng, and he was the first to notify King Yucheng and King Yongwei, who were stationed in the divine capital, rushed to Lincang Daocheng together first.

But in front of me, where is the trace of Hou's 200 million Red Flame Army?

"Where's the Red Flame Army? They didn't come to attack the city?"

Wanyanjun asked again, his face gradually turning ugly.

He vaguely realized something, but he didn't want to believe it in his heart.

Wanyan Lie lowered his head, secretly glanced at Tuoba Tao next to him, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands with a hint of doubt, and said:
"Your Majesty, we are also wondering why the Hou family's army did not come. I thought they did not dare to attack and stayed in Junyang Fucheng."

Tuoba Tao also added a sentence at this time: "Since the king is here, the Hou family's army must not be in Junyang Fucheng. Could he have gone to Gyeonggi Road, or is he hiding on Lincang Road?" place?"

Hearing the words of the two, Wan Yanjun's face suddenly sank. Among the six princes following him now, two of them came from Gyeonggi Province with troops. If the 200 million Chiyan Army went to Gyeonggi Province, the two of them It is impossible for people not to know.

"Two million troops, it's impossible to disappear without a trace. I came all the way from Junyang Fucheng, and I didn't see anything, and there was nothing on the side of Gyeonggi Province. To go to Shuofeng Road, you have to go through the vicinity of Lincang Daocheng. You two Are you sure that Hou's army has never appeared?"

Wanyan Lie and Tuoba Tao nodded immediately and said at the same time: "OK!"

…………

After hearing the two men's determined answers, Wanyanjun suddenly turned his head and looked to the west. The expression on his face gradually evolved from confusion to shock, and finally to shock, and he froze on the spot.

"He still dares to go to Cangyuan Mountain and be imprisoned in a tiger prison?"

There are no people on the east, south, and north sides, and only the west side is left.

But to the west is Cangyuan Mountain!

Hulao Pass, the most powerful pass in the world, was controlled by the Jin Dynasty many years ago. It is the only way from Zhongzhou to the Jin Dynasty. It is also the only way to the three northern states except crossing the river from Yongzhou.

"King Pingcheng, the war on the third front of the Jin Dynasty has begun. The defense of Hulao Pass has been relaxed a lot. If I remember correctly, there are only one million knights guarding the pass at present, and the commander is the knight general Zuo Qiuyuan!"

Suddenly, King Yongwei on the side spoke with a solemn tone.

Although there was a look of surprise on Wanyan Jun's face, he thought for a moment and still said in disbelief: "Zuo Qiu Yuan has a martial arts sub-sage cultivation level and can lead a million cavalry troops to defend a Tiger Prison Pass. The problem is Hou Yuxiao. He How dare he attack Hulao Pass? What could he do if he defeated it? Is it possible that he dared to... invade the three states of the North?"

Not to mention Wan Yan Jun, the faces of the other two princes and the eight marquis present were all filled with astonishment at this moment.

Two million Red Flame troops attacked the three northern states.

What a joke!
Even though the Jin Dynasty started the war on three fronts, and the three emperors, six kings and 28 princes almost came out in full force, the Jin Emperor had not moved yet. There were also the strongest Conglong Guards and Shenyu Army under the Jin Emperor's command, which totaled 500 million. This was The top troops of the Jin Dynasty have not moved yet...

To put it ten thousand steps back, even if the Jin Emperor takes action without using a large army, this mere 200 million army, even with all the masters from the Hou family, Lu family, and Jiangbei League, is not enough.

What was Hou Yuxiao thinking about attacking Hulao Pass?

"Have you forgotten that the three coalition forces now represent the alliance. If Hou Yuxiao really captures Hulao Pass, it will be equivalent to the alliance capturing Hulao Pass. Once Hulao Pass falls into the hands of the alliance, you know , does this mean something?”

After King Yucheng finished speaking, he saw that everyone was silent, and continued: "On the third front of the Great Jin Dynasty, the war in Jizhou is the most important. The Yuliang Emperor has not even broken through the Dongyuan Road. Even if it is broken through, the alliance can still pass through Yun The Langu River keeps sending reinforcements to Jizhou, but if Hulao Pass completely falls into the hands of the alliance and we cannot get it back within a short period of time, then I, the Jin Dynasty, will no longer be able to send reinforcements to Emperor Yuliang..."

He paused, his voice became deeper, and continued:

"Moreover, the loss of Hulao Pass means that our Dajin's invincible title has also been lost. Once the Dragon Guards and Shenyu Army are mobilized, then my Dajin will really be mobilized with all members to fight against the world again. It has no deterrent power."

Everyone's expressions changed instantly.

"Hulao Pass, there is no room for failure. Tuoba Tao and Wanyan Lie, you will now go separately to notify the armies of all parties and ask them to speed up their march. First, go to Lincang Daocheng to assemble. King Yucheng, King Yongwei, and the other six princes, Come with me to search in the direction of Hulao Pass. Once it is confirmed that Hou's army is really targeting Hulao Pass, immediately notify everyone and rush that way."

"Subordinates obey!"

King Yucheng and King Yongwei both nodded and followed Wanyanjun without saying anything, turning into three streams of light and galloping towards the west direction of Hulao Pass.

No matter how anxious Wanyan Jun is, he still understands that the first step is to confirm whether the two million Red Flame Army really intends to attack Hulao Pass. An army of millions is no better than him alone. You can go anywhere. Once the army moves, it can take as short as a few hours, as long as several days or even months. If Hou Yuxiao is deliberately tricking himself, he will regret it if he falls into the trap.

However, just after flying more than a hundred miles out of Lincang Daocheng, Wanyanjun's expression changed. In the mid-air above Cangyuan Mountain to the west, a red cloud of vitality and blood that was conspicuous to his eyes even though it seemed thin, was rapidly moving toward the tiger. Move in the locked direction.

"It's so courageous, it's so courageous..."

The angry Wanyan Jun roared lowly in mid-air, but before he could fully vent his emotions, a fierce wind from a stick hit him from above. His brows froze, and he was instantly awakened by the crisis. The momentum soared instantly.
