Chapter 198: King Yan's expedition
Chapter 198: The King of Yan personally fought
In Hexi Canyon, Li Yu is in the big tent.
Shi Miyuan had been taken to rest by Li Ju, but the black spear in Li Yu's tent, Changfeng and Yue Meng, had not yet come back from the huge shock, because the news brought by Shi Miyuan was too surprising and too unbelievable. It would take time for them to digest the news.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yu looked around the Black Spear and asked, "Three Generals, do you think what Mr. Miyuan said is credible?"
"What's wrong with this?"
Heiji frowned and said unhappily, "Mr. Miyuan is the second highman and a famous scholar with the emperor. Does Duke Li think he will lie?"
"Well……"
Li Yu uh, and quickly shook his hand and said, "I don't mean this. I just think these things are too incredible and can't believe them, so I asked this question."
Changfeng next to him suddenly said, "Hei Spear, don't rush to draw conclusions first. I think Li Du's suspicion is not unreasonable. Although Mr. Miyuan is the second highman and a scholar who is famous for the emperor, there are many things he said today. How many of them are true is worth pondering."
"What do you mean by Changfeng?"
Black Spear opened his eyes wide and asked in a muffled voice, "Do you think Mr. Miyuan is lying?"
Changfeng waved his hand and said very seriously: "I don't want to doubt Mr. Miyuan for no reason, but what he said tonight is too much involved, especially Meng Hu secretly colluded with the Mingyue Empire Army. Before there is no definite evidence, I think it is absolutely impossible to doubt a senior commander who is commanding the army at will."
Li Yu turned his eyes to Yue Meng, who had no opinion, and asked, "Yue Meng, what about your opinion?"
Black Spear and Changfeng also turned their eyes to Yue Meng. Black Spear and Changfeng are famous generals in the Imperial Guard Corps, known as Black and White Impermanence. With the sharp eyes of the two, few people can remain calm, but Yue Meng seems calm and calm.
After bowing to Li Yu, Yue Meng said in a humble manner: "Young and innocent young people know each other. You must never comment on Mr. Miyuan and the major events he said tonight. You also ask the Governor and the two generals to forgive me."
Heijiu, who was straightforward, frowned and muttered softly: "What a slippery head."
In fact, Black Raid has wronged Yue Meng. Yue Meng is not deliberately making tricks. He just doesn't want to get involved in political disputes. Because Yue Meng is calm, fundamentally speaking, he just wants to be a pure soldier, or a pure military commander, rather than a scheming politician, so he doesn't want to express any opinions on this matter.
Li Yu was also whispered in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being the illegitimate son of the King of Yan. The younger ones had the style of the King of Yan, but he did not dare to say it out loud, and turned to Heiji and Changfeng and said: "Two generals, no matter whether what Mr. Miyuan said tonight is true or false, we should all react, right?"
Changfeng and Hei Spear exchanged glances, and at the same time clasped their fists and said, "Only the leader of the Duke Li is the leader."
"this……"
It is of great importance, and Li Yu certainly did not dare to take it alone, so he said to Yue Meng with a kind look, "Yue Meng, I know that you are very smart, which can be seen from the battle of Hulu Valley. You have told me that you should believe Mr. Miyuan? If you don't believe it, how should you explain it to him?"
Yue Meng said calmly: "The Governor has been too much. There is really nothing to say about what Mr. Miyuan said."
The expression on Li Yu's face froze, thinking that even if you are the illegitimate son of King Yan, you are still the captain of my subordinate Li Yu now. Don't be shameless. When Li Yu was about to break out, Li Chun, the second brother in charge of patrol, hurried into the big tent and whispered a few words with Li Yu's ear attached to it.
"What!?"
Li Yu suddenly changed his face when he heard this and said anxiously, "Hurry up, summon all the generals of the army's corps commanders and above, and follow our governor to greet the gate..."
“No need.”
As Li Yu finished speaking, a low male voice suddenly rang out of the tent.
Immediately someone lifted the curtain, and two strong men flashed in first, then flashed left and right like two door gods guarding the entrance to the big tent. Then two middle-aged men entered the big tent. The man in front was majestic and was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe. It was just because he was stained with too much dust, so he looked a little dim under the light.
When they saw the middle-aged man in yellow robe, Li Yu, Black Spear, Changfeng and Yue Meng, they all bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "I'm going to kowtow to the prince."
Prince!?
Yes, the visitor is really the prince of the Glorious Empire, and the famous regent - King Mengke of Yan!
In fact, it was almost half a month after the Tiger Legion first captured Xijing, Meng Ke had already learned about this amazing news. However, given that the source of the news was very suspicious, Meng Ke did not easily believe it, nor did he publicize it. Only the imperial prime minister Cao Mo and the Minister of War Ye Haotian knew about this.
Why is the source of this news suspicious? Because this news was spyed by the detailed works of the Glorious Empire lurking in Xijing. In fact, long before the Glorious Empire army launched a large-scale western expedition, Qiu Yutang used thunder to clean up spies from various countries in major cities in China. The Glorious Empire's intelligence system in Xijing and even the entire Mingyue Empire was almost uprooted.
Therefore, Meng Ke could not confirm the "great achievements" of the Tiger Legion's two consecutive conquering Xijing through the intelligence system of the Glorious Empire.
So how did this amazing news come to Meng Ke?
Meng Ke didn't know, but one thing is certain, that is, this news definitely comes from the Mingyue Empire. In other words, there is a traitor hidden in the Mingyue Empire. It was this traitor who took the initiative to reveal this shocking news to Meng Ke. Of course, there is another possibility of this matter, that is, fake news and smoke bombs.
Therefore, Meng Ke did not easily believe it. After urgent discussions with Cao Mo and Ye Haotian, he made a decision. The imperial prime minister Cao Mo was in charge of the imperial capital and presided over the government. Meng Ke and Ye Haotian rushed to the 6th Division of the Imperial Guard Corps to advance lightly and rush to Qingzhou. Meng Ke believed that no matter whether the news was true or not, he should go to Qingzhou to inspect the frontline situation on the spot.
After all, Meng Ke had not received any reports from the Western Expedition Army for a long time. In fact, after the Qiuyutang water flooded Qingzhou, Mengyan's Western Expedition Army cut off all ties with the country.
After nearly a month of rapid march, Meng Ke finally led the 6th Division to catch up with Li Yu's army.
The Tiger Legion moved to Zhongzhou. Mengyan's army was defeated in attacking Huxiao Pass. First, they retreated and then were flooded. Meng Ke first sent Li Yu's army to help Qingzhou, and then personally led the Sixth Division to help Qingzhou. Many things were actually staged together. Therefore, when the Tiger Army successfully attacked the Fenglingang Naval Village and was able to break through the siege on a naval warship, Meng Yan's more than 20,000 remaining soldiers also fled to Heyuan, and Meng Ke also led the Sixth Division of the Imperial Guard to the Hexi Canyon.
Kawayuan, Mengyan Headquarters.
While Meng Yan was sighing in front of the night sky outside the window, Lu Chengwu and Pu Sanzhi came together.
As soon as he entered the door, Park Sanzhi asked anxiously: "Your Highness, I just heard that Shi Miyuan had ordered the four gates to be confined, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, and people outside the city were not allowed to enter. What is he doing? Ah, what is he doing!?"
"What's the point?" Meng Yan groaned and frowned and shouted, "This is what I mean."
"Ah?" Park Sanzhi said in surprise when he heard this, "Your Highness, why do you... want to order the four gates to be confined?"
"yes."
Lu Chengwu also asked in confusion, "The imperial reinforcements have arrived eighty miles west of Kawabara. Why doesn't Your Highness send people to contact them actively? The most important thing now is to welcome the reinforcements to enrich Kawabara's city defense, so that our army can be invincible whether it is counterattacking Qingzhou in the future or defending the Hawabara border."
"What do you know?" Meng Yan's brows became more and more frowning, and he shouted unhappily, "I will naturally have my considerations in doing this. I warn you to keep Kawahara Castle tight. If anyone dares to disobey the military order and have contact with the outside world without authorization, don't blame me for turning against others, hum!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Although Pu Sanzhi and Lu Chengwu were puzzled, since Meng Yan had already given the order, they would not say anything more.
The two of them are also considered Meng Yan's hardcore confidants, and their trust in Meng Yan is unconditional. At this time, they still have no idea that Meng Yan and Shi Miyuan are ready to betray them.
Tongtian River, Bharat Bay.
The remnants of the Navy Legion of the Mingyue Empire and the Tiger Legion are in full swing.
Seeing the bright moon water ghost covered in water and holding an axe in his hand, he walked into the river like dumplings, Meng Hu's nerves immediately became nervous. The Tiger Legion was a tiger on the land, but the navy was a dragon in the water. If these water ghosts really sank the warships, the Tiger Legion would be completely destroyed.
"Leopard!" Meng Hu turned around and shouted sternly, "Where is the Leopard?"
A strong figure quickly came behind Meng Hu and responded with a loud bang: "General, I am here."
"Go." Meng Hu pointed to the more than a hundred warships winding on the river behind him and shouted loudly, "I'll order all ships to gather archers on the deck immediately to block the water around each warship. Once a water ghost is found to float out of the water to breathe, shoot it immediately, and then concentrate the spearmen to the bottom cabin. If the cabin is scattered by the water ghost, tell them not to rush to block the leak first. First use the spear to stab the water ghost who is digging to death, and then try to block the leak. Go quickly!"
"yes!"
The mountain leopard responded, and then snatched an extra-long bamboo pole from a soldier beside him. He first helped the deck with the bamboo pole, and then gently supported the deck with the bamboo pole. The whole person and the bamboo pole had already bounced high, and then it was like a light and agile leopard drawing a trajectory in the air. When it fell down, it was already standing steadily on the deck of another warship.
"Look at General!" Zhang Xingba next to him suddenly pointed to the river and shouted, "The water ghost is coming up!"
Meng Hu lowered his head when he heard the sound and looked in the direction of Zhang Xingba's finger. Sure enough, a string of bubbles was rising from the bottom of the water. In an instant, a hideous murderous intent floated up from Meng Hu's eyes and reached out to the guard behind him and shouted: "Get the bow and arrow!"
The guards had long been handed a long bow of infantry to Meng Hu, and the guards handed over heavy arrows.
Meng Hu reached out to take the bow and arrow, shouted lightly and the arrow was already full. The sharp cluster of arrows aimed at the slightly forward position where the bubbles were raised at the bottom of the water. With a "whoosh", the heavy armor-breaking arrow had already broken out and plunged into the bottom of the water with a faint black track. A tiny wave splashed on the river surface, and then there was no movement.
About a few seconds later, a large bubble suddenly churned up from the bottom of the water. The sharp-eyed Zhang Xingba soon found that the rolled up river water was actually covered with blood. He shouted excitedly: "I shot, the general shot, blood, the river water is mixed with blood, hahaha..."
As Zhang Xingba finished speaking, a black shadow floated up from the bottom of the river.
Meng Hu and the soldiers of the Tiger Army who were close to the side saw it clearly. He was suddenly the water ghost of Mingyue Water Master. The heavy arrow that Meng Hu had just shot through his chest. The red blood was constantly overflowing from the wound where he was shot. It soon dyed the river water around him red. The water ghost had not yet died, and his limbs were still twitching.
"General, another water ghost is coming up."
Zhang Xingba suddenly screamed again. Meng Hu looked up quickly and couldn't help feeling shocked. He saw strings of tiny bubbles rising up from the bottom of the water, and the direction of the bubbles rising was approaching Meng Hu's boat. Obviously, more water ghosts were quickly approaching Meng Hu's boat from the bottom of the water.
"Brothers, aim for me!" Meng Hu put his bow and arrows again, aimed at the direction where one of the bubbles came out, and shouted with a grim voice, "Be careful to save arrows, don't shoot randomly, remember, don't shoot directly where the bubbles came out, and move forward by about two or three steps. Have you heard it clearly?"
"I heard it clearly!"
The archers crowded on the side of the side agreed, and they were already full of bows and arrows.
"Shoot the arrow!" Meng Hu relaxed his hand, and the heavy arrow on the string shot out again, and roared fiercely, "Shoot these dogs to death."
The archers who were holding the bow and placing the arrows all undone, and dozens of sharp armor-breaking arrows shot through the river in an instant. After a while, large bubbles of bubbles continued to surge up from the bottom of the water, which meant that some water ghosts were unfortunately shot. Once these injured water ghosts were forced to float to the surface, they would undoubtedly die. The tiger archers on the boat would not be merciful.
Chapter completed!
