Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 546 Bad news

Riding on the war horse, Ye Hongxue was worried and couldn't help looking back, looking at the tall city of Xuzhou City.

Xu Ning's last words revealed too much information.

The protector of Jingguo didn't even think that in this battle with Xiao Feiyu, Jingguo would win in the end.

In fact, Xu Ning was prepared early to pull Xiao Feiyu's army to die together.

In the end, letting Zhao Kang come to end everything was the best Xu Ning could do.

When he received the battle report from Yizhou, Xu Ning understood in his heart.

Even if Zhao Kang finally captured Yizhou and attacked Xiao Feiyu with him, the gap in numbers was still too big.

In addition, Xiao Feiyu did not care about damage during this period, choosing to use a strategy of destruction, constantly consuming Jingguo's troops.

Xu Ning guessed what the other party was thinking, and when Zhao Kang regained Yizhou, he came to the battlefield with an army of 10,000+.

So how many troops can Jingguo save? 20 or [-]?

or less!
Xu Ning thought in his mind, and felt helpless in the end. Xiao Feiyu was completely willing to sacrifice his life in exchange for the destruction of Jingguo.

As for why he did this, Xu Ning was a little confused at first, but he figured it out later.

Because really speaking, there were only two people who caused Xiao Feiyu to leave his hometown and shatter his dream.

One is Zhao Kang and the other is Emperor Jing Wu Rulong.

The latter is even more important than the former.

Without Wu Rulong's action, Zhao Kang would have led his men to kill Xiao Feiyu, who was already at the lower level of the second rank.

Those people are still toys that Xiao Feiyu can handle at will.

But Xiao Feiyu never expected that Zhao Kang could actually invite Wu Rulong to Qian Country.

In that battle, if Wu Rulong had not been the emperor of Jingguo, it would not have been easy for him to trade his injuries for his life with Xiao Feiyu.

He had already fallen into hell by now.

Because of this, Xiao Feiyu hates Wu Rulong no less than Zhao Kang!

He wanted Zhao Kang to taste the feeling of having nothing like him, and for Wu Rulong, the emperor of Jingguo, what could be more humiliating than the subjugation of the country?
It was precisely because he figured this out that Xu Ning understood that in Xiao Feiyu's heart, Jingguo must be destroyed.

It doesn't matter whose hands it is destroyed by.

Anyway, it was Xiao Feiyu who caused it, and Zhao Kang also thought of this.

But just as Xu Ning said, Zhao Kang valued Ye Hongxue too much after all, so he chose the safest way.

No matter what, it is best to ensure Ye Hongxue's safety first. Even in this case, Xu Ning's thoughts were more sinister.

The demise of Jingguo may not be a bad thing for Qianguo, who has already shown his ambition!
So Xu Ning decided to take another gamble.

Just like when he bet that Zhao Kang could turn Jinlin Pass into a puddle of mud, making Qi State and Zhou State deeply trapped in it.

In the end, it was Gao Yuan, the general of Jing State, who came out to turn the tide of the battle.

This time he bet that wherever Ye Hongxue is, Zhao Kang will lead his army to attack!At that time, as long as Qi General Long Han approaches the Jingguo Imperial Capital, Zhao Kang's cannon muzzle will get closer to him!
Standing on top of the city, looking at the ruined mountains and rivers, the gray-haired Xu Ning calmly closed his eyes.

"As long as I win the bet this time, I will win everyone."

He defeated Xiao Feiyu who wanted to destroy Jing State, defeated Qi State, and also defeated Qian State or Zhao Kang who showed his ambition?
Thinking about it, Xu Ning smiled: "Master, don't blame me for judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Suddenly, a face appeared in the sky, it was Xu Jie who died because of Zhao Kang.

Xu Ning turned his back and slowly walked towards Zhang Shuai'an.

I still remember that my wife died early, and she asked him to take good care of his son before she died, but I couldn't do it after all.Lord Protector Xu Ning, in this life, he is unworthy of his wife and children, but he is unworthy of the great scenery!
……

May nineteenth.

Zhao Kang and Gao Yuan once again led an army to attack Yizhou City. Originally, the two sides combined a total of 12 troops.

After nearly a month of fighting, the damage was less than [-], which is really scary.

Speech: Two-thirds of the large and small cities in Yizhou have been recovered.

The number of Jin soldiers and horses in Yizhou dropped sharply from the original [-] to less than [-], and they could only continue to retreat towards Xuzhou Guzhou.

The enemy troops fled wherever the Zhao-character battle flag of Qian State passed.

But Zhao Kang has already issued a death order, paying blood debts with blood, and does not accept surrender or prisoners.

Therefore, all the captured enemy soldiers in the captured city were beheaded, and one temple after another was built to frighten the enemy invaders.

Now among the enemy soldiers, they all call Zhao Kang Zhao Evil Ghost.

Gao Yuan excitedly came to Zhao Evil Ghost in the eyes of the Jin people, and was extremely excited: "National Master! I'm afraid we can turn around and go north now to join the old commander!"

Zhao Kang smiled and nodded: "It's almost done. The old commander has been guarding for so many days, we have to let him rest."

Gao Yuan Yile patted the hot barrel next to him: "You have something, I have to let that grandson of Xiao Feiyu have a good drink!"

Just as the two were planning, a Jing Jun man ran over quickly: "Shuai Zhao, General Gao! Come from Cangzhou in a hurry!"

Both Zhao Kang and Zhao Kang were stunned. They quickly took it and opened it. Gao Yuan was shocked: "The Qi army defeated Yanzhou and marched to Bingzhou. They conquered fifteen cities in three days! How is this possible?"

Zhao Kang's eyes were downcast. He saw the content of the second half and laughed inwardly.

This Wu Xiong, you really gave me a big fucking surprise.

The second half of the letter said that more than [-] Zhou troops joined the Qi army, and together with the Qi army, they defeated Yanzhou with a thunderous force.

There is no need to think about this week's army, it must be the defeated army led by Wu Xiong.

I'm afraid he is thinking that if he returns to Zhou Kingdom now, he will inevitably be dealt with by Li Muyi.

Then it would be better to turn around and follow the Qi army to attack Jingguo.

Damn it, Zhao Kang has a cannon!If I can’t do it, why can’t I do it to you, Jingguo?
With Wu Xiong's 10,000+ people joining in, the two armies practiced their skills, and they even pushed Jizhou and Yanzhou.

Fifteen cities of Bingzhou were also captured. According to this progress, they will reach Huajing City in ten days at most.

"National Master!" Gao Yuan was worried.

If it was just the Qi army, he wouldn't be too worried, but now there are more than [-] more people.

They can all surround Huajing City.

If the imperial capital is breached, then it's time to stop.

Zhao Kang began to struggle in his heart, whether to go north and join Xu Ning to attack Xiao Feiyu, or to turn around and rush to aid Huajing City.

Reason told him that joining forces with Xu Ning now would not destroy Xiao Feiyu in a short time.

But there was still an irrational voice telling him that Xiao Feiyu should be beaten. Only by killing him could he sit back and relax, and Her Majesty the Empress and others would not be threatened in the future!
"You make me think about it."

Zhao Kang took a deep breath and walked away.

Zhou Long and others also learned the battle report and dismissed the others. As deputy commander, Zhou Long came to Zhao Kang.

"National Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
