"Revenge? That's easy to say. In a school with twenty people, they may not be able to work together, and in that army, there are five generals..." Zhao Ge explained: "All the capable family members of the Zhenbei King died, leaving only a child who is less than ten years old."
"According to the tradition of the Great Zhou, they will make this child their master, but who will this child obey? This will be enough to make them confused for a while."
"Plus, the way the Great Zhou treated its meritorious officials, haha... I guess, from now on, it will no longer be a matter between us and the Great Zhou, but a matter between the Great Zhou, the forces left by the King of Zhenbei, and us. If we don't move, the Northern Territory will be thrown into chaos!"
"Just wait until the fire is not hot enough, then add some more fire."
…………
At the same time, in the army camp of King Zhenbei.
When the incident happened in Muyun City, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers guarding another border, there were another 40,000 soldiers heading towards Muyun City from different directions.
Unfortunately, it is not that easy to mobilize a large army. They had just set out not long ago, and the battle was already over.
The four armies gathered together and stopped outside Yongning City, the largest granary in the north, 400 miles away from Muyun City.
The four generals and four gods have been discussing countermeasures these days, but they can't come to a conclusion.
It can be said that even if Zhao Huaibei was still alive at this time, the situation would not have become so awkward.
In human tradition, as long as there is no backbone, the group will be leaderless and scattered.
Just today, the four generals were still discussing how to...
There is now a solemn and murderous atmosphere around the military camp. Four armies are stationed outside the city, two in each camp, forming a triangle with Yongning City.
Moreover, the direction of the two armies is not only close to Yongning City, but also in the direction closest to Kangcheng. If the grassland army moves south, they will have to be on guard against a surprise attack from the rear, unless they send cavalry all the way and travel light without worrying about baggage.
There were sentinels and spies everywhere around the military camp, as well as horse patrols, to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
There was a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps in the military camp. Every soldier had a blank expression on his face and was filled with murderous intent. They completely followed the general's orders. It was obvious that these were not city defenders or ceremonial guards who had never experienced war, but elite soldiers who had truly fought in the Northern Expedition.
Although not all soldiers are elite, the North has always adopted a model of old soldiers leading new soldiers, with 30% veterans and 70% new soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is also extremely strong.
In the commander's tent in the southern camp, the main seat was empty. Four generals sat on both sides, followed by their personal soldiers and advisers.
Among these four people, two are old and two are middle-aged. Obviously, two of them are veterans of two dynasties, and the other two followed Zhao Qingyang all the way here.
"Huh..." Veteran Zhao Jia let out a long sigh. He looked at the big elbow in front of him and had no appetite at all, even though the elbow had begun to ooze oil, making it look very appetizing.
However, his eyes were always on the elbow, and he didn't care about the other three people at all, as if he was only interested in the elbow: "Ladies and gentlemen, before the old prince left for the Endless Sea, he told us to assist him well."
"Now, the prince's whereabouts are unknown. How can we face the old prince in the future?"
Another veteran, Zhao Ding, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp: "How can anyone who goes to the Endless Sea come out? No one knows what's in there. It is said that it is the tomb of the Heaven Realm..."
"Humph!" Zhao Jia slammed his shriveled hand on the table. "Nonsense! Didn't the founding emperor and the old prince of that generation go into the Endless Sea and come out safe and sound? The current Endless Sea defense line was built by them. Can they really betray their own descendants?"
"Then why are they so taboo about the Endless Sea? They only say that when the Heavenly Man Realm cannot be improved any further, one must go to the Endless Sea defense line. When I asked them why, they didn't say anything?" Zhao Ding looked at Zhao Jia.
"Two old generals, are we studying the Endless Sea or something else? If we are studying the Endless Sea, I'm sorry to bother you. In the barbarian lands outside the Great Zhou, there are some lost documents that may give you two old generals the answers. Two old generals, please pile up the heads of the enemies outside the Leiyun Pass. You can roam freely outside the pass and find as many documents as you want." General Zhao Xuan said.
There was a generation between them, but most of them died in the battle at Leiyun Pass.
In Zhao Jia's generation, everyone was named Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, etc., but in Zhao Xuan's generation, the names were "the dark yellow of heaven and earth, the vastness of the universe."
These people are all descendants of the King of Zhenbei who revived the Northern Land. Their surnames were bestowed by the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is extremely glorious.
"I think you just want to drag everyone to Leiyun Pass to die." Zhao Ding sneered.
"The imperial envoy is in the camp right now, and you don't even want to see him. Are you planning a rebellion? The old prince has been loyal and brave all his life. You are bringing shame to him by doing this!" Zhao Xuan suddenly stood up and pointed at Zhao Ding, shouting, "We are soldiers. We seek victory on the battlefield and die on the battlefield. Do you also deserve to be called soldiers?"
"We are soldiers, not fools." Zhao Huang knocked on the table. "In my opinion, the court is acting so slowly because it wants to take the opportunity to eliminate the prince's direct lineage, so that we and the grassland people will both suffer losses, and then sit back and reap the benefits."
"This northern border was originally granted to the prince by the imperial court. What's wrong with fighting for the imperial court?" Zhao Xuan looked at Zhao Huang and retorted.
"In my opinion, we should send troops, but we should do so with a purpose. Our purpose is to find out the news about the prince. If the prince is captured, we must do everything we can to rescue him." Zhao Jia said, "As for the people from the court, it's better not to meet them..."
"The court promised me that it would give priority to rescuing the prince. Even if it costs a huge price, it will keep the prince safe..." Zhao Xuan explained.
"Trust the court?" Zhao Huang smiled. "The soldiers of Muyun City have all become deserters. The people have been forcibly conscripted into the army and sent to the army. Most of the food in the north has also been controlled. In my opinion, the court wants to use the lives of millions of people in the north to fight against the grassland!"
"Your Highness has worked hard for the people of the North all his life, but now you are making it impossible for them to survive. You can believe in this kind of court, but I don't!"
"There must be a misunderstanding here." Zhao Xuan said.
"If you ask me, we should keep our troops in place and wait for the imperial court and the grassland to fight. Then we will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. This is the way to maximize our benefits." Zhao Ding said.
"What kind of disaster will the people in the northern border suffer by then?" Zhao Huang glared at Zhao Ding. "If it were you, I would first find a way to find the people and protect them, then talk about other things..."
"That will make us lose the best opportunity to save the prince!" said Zhao Jia.
“That will also mean we lose the chance to fight. We have to wait until we’re unstable…” Zhao Xuan also started to argue.
Soon, several people expressed their opinions.
It is obvious that Zhao Jia is the true descendant of King Zhenbei. He only wants to rescue Zhao Qingyang and only obeys Zhao Qingyang's orders.
Zhao Ding, there is no apparent inclination at the moment, and he has always been trying to smooth things over.
Even if there is an idea, it is the best solution to the war, at least the best solution for the North as a whole.
Zhao Xuan is currently inclined to listen to the court.
Zhao Huang has no trust in the imperial court and only wants to protect the people in the north. In his eyes, the people are everything.
It's hard to say who is right here, but if the argument continues, things will obviously develop in the direction Zhao Ding expects...
Just when several people were arguing fiercely, a messenger came outside the tent.
"Report!"
After hearing the messenger's call, several people stopped and sat on the ground one by one.
All the furniture that was used just now has been broken...
"Speak." Zhao Xuan said impatiently.
"Sixteen Red Flame Dragon Riders defected, bringing with them many women and two children..."
Several people looked at each other.
"Please come in!" Zhao Jia said, and quickly stood up: "No, I will go to greet you personally!"
…………
The four gods arrived at the place where they picked up the people, and it was gone in a flash.
Thirty-five Red Flame Dragon Riders guarded the three routes, and one Red Flame Dragon Rider pulled a cart. The cart was not a luxurious horse-drawn carriage, but a two-wheeled cart for transporting goods, with a lot of straw spread on it.
There were five women sitting in the car. One was the wet nurse of Zhao Huaibei and Zhao Huaiyong; one was Zhao Qingyang's niece, the one who had supported Wei Qianluo before; two were the maids of Zhao Qingyang's wife; and the last one was Zhao Qingyang's daughter, Zhao Huairou.
In addition to these five women, there is also a child, Zhao Qingyang's youngest son: Zhao Huaiyong.
When he saw the youngest child, Zhao Jia fell to his knees with a thud, and his armor raised a cloud of dust.
He raised his hands tremblingly, and seemed to have difficulty in making any sound.
Two lines of turbid tears slid down his face: "Third Young Master, you, you are still alive? God have mercy on me, the Zhao family, this is not over!"
thump……
His head hit the ground heavily.
At this moment, he was truly relieved.
What he feared most was the extinction of the Zhao family's bloodline, but as long as there was one person in the Zhao family, the Zhao family would not perish!
The skills of King Zhenbei were directly inherited when he was eight years old.
As long as there are enough resources, Zhao Huaiyong will definitely be a Divine Mysterious Realm in the future.
As for whether one can reach the level of a celestial being, one thing depends on one’s aptitude, and the other depends on whether one can get the Zhao family’s ancestral elixir.
"Sister..." Zhao Huaiyong instinctively hid behind Zhao Huairou.
Zhao Huaiyong, eight years old, Divine Sea Realm...
Well, the same realm as Shen Lang...
His elder sister Zhao Huairou, ten years old, is also in the Divine Sea Realm. Although she is not as good as Zhao Huaibei who entered the Zhoutian Realm at the age of ten, she is not bad either.
However, they were too young and faced a great change, so they did not perform any better than ordinary children.
Their strongest points are still their cultivation and the books they have read.
But education needs a closed loop. They have not yet been hit by the bullet of experience after years of precipitation. They can read books but cannot apply what they have learned.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Huaiyong panicked.
"This general..."
Fortunately, the woman matured early, and Zhao Huairou stood up: "We have encountered a disaster and fled here..."
"Miss, as long as you are still here, the Zhao family will not perish, and the entire northern land will be your home." Zhao Jia raised his head with a relieved smile on his face.
"Huh..." Zhao Huang let out a long sigh: "I'm glad you're all okay, I'm glad you're all okay..."
"Young Master, Young Master is still alive. This northern border now has a backbone!" Zhao Ding immediately took out the military token and handed it to Zhao Huaiyong: "This is my army and my life. From now on, I will obey Young Master's orders!"
"Ah?" Zhao Huaiyong looked at the military token and instinctively wanted to take it.
Snapped!
Zhao Qingyang's niece, Zhao Huaiyue, quickly patted Zhao Huaiyong's little hand and said to Zhao Ding, "Old General, Huaiyong is still young, how can he lead the army? Please take back the military order. The foundation of the Zhao family still depends on a few old generals."
"Let's go back to the camp first. You guys are exhausted. Let's eat first..." Zhao Xuan stood up and said to the dragon rider who was pulling the cart, "Are you the captain?"
"I am the captain of the sixth team of the second battalion of the Scarlet Flame Dragon Cavalry. I am Jiang Tai, from Xiaoyao Realm, honored to meet the four generals!" The dragon rider pulling the cart saluted.
Bang, bang...
Zhao Xuan patted his broken breastplate.
It took more than a dozen Red Flame Dragon Riders so many days to run here. Each of them had their armor torn and suffered a lot of injuries. It was unknown how many bloody battles they had fought to get here.
Such a dragon rider is respectable and admirable.
Chapter 102 A mess
Those who escaped from the Zhao family were all covered in dust and looked no different from the refugees. Both men and women looked like clay dolls.
Fortunately, the women in the Zhao family have seen the world and are not spoiled. They would not do something weird like fall into a well and think the firefighters are dirty and ask them to wash themselves clean before rescuing them.
The Zhao family had a rare meal and washed up.
The four generals sat quietly in the big tent, not saying a word, as if the previous quarrel had never existed.
Zhao Jia was relieved, Zhao Ding had a fake smile, Zhao Xuan was in deep thought, and Zhao Huang was frowning.
The four people had different expressions. It was a completely different matter whether the Zhao family was there or not...
There was absolutely no problem with Zhao Ge's judgment on this side, otherwise he would not have paid a huge price, given up attacking from the weakness, and went directly to Muyun City to gnaw on Zhao Qingyang, the hardest bone.
Decapitation was a completely devastating blow to the ancient times.
Soon, the Zhao family finished their work and headed to the tent together.
They are Zhao Huairou, Zhao Huaiyong, and Zhao Huaiyue.
Others are not qualified to sit at the table.
"Sister, what should we do?" Zhao Huairou asked with some concern: "What should Huaiyong do later?"
Although there had been no ready-made women's clothing here before, it would not be too simple for a cultivator to go to the city to buy a few sets of clothes. Although what Zhao Huairou wore was not as good as the ones in Muyun City, and she did not buy anything in a hurry, she was also wearing a water-colored skirt woven with gold thread.
"Me?" Zhao Huaiyong pointed at himself in confusion: "Aren't we safe?"
Zhao Huaiyong is no longer dressed like a child. Now he is wearing a white knight's outfit, looking a bit like a young knight. The high ponytail makes him look more chivalrous.
"It's not that simple." Zhao Huaiyue rubbed his temples with a headache: "This blow to the Zhao family can be said to be subversive. My father, third uncle, and fourth uncle all died in the battle at Leiyun Pass..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Huaiyue felt a little sad.
Even though so many days have passed and everyone has accepted the fact, they still feel a little sad.
The huge Zhao family in the northern border was finished just like that.
Now Zhao Huaiyue really wants to run to the Endless Sea and invite all the Zhao family’s celestial realm masters out to take charge of the situation.
However, places like the Endless Sea are places where one cannot return once they go. Because of the Endless Sea, there have never been more than five celestial beings active in the world in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
