Huangfu Jingde immediately showed a teaching-worthy smile.

"But since my son has pleaded with me, the death penalty is avoided, and the crime of living cannot be escaped. In addition to the culprit, half of the property is seized and the right to be a warning."

"Your Majesty is kind."

Knowing that this was Huangfu Jingde's biggest concession, and it was also the plan he had already made in his heart. Huangfu Taiming sighed secretly and bowed to thank him.

At this time, the 100,000 army of the imperial court had already pressed forward, only five miles away from the damaged city wall. The 200,000 army further moved slowly, preparing to open the city gate after the army ahead occupied the city gate and capture Luodu City in one fell swoop.

And at this moment, the west, farther away, suddenly shouted and killed the sky.

Huangfu Jingde was shocked and shook his head and looked at it. He didn't know which army would dare to rebel openly at this time and directly attack Zhongzhou.

You should know that the army that can be dispatched in Zhongzhou has basically been within Huangfu Jingde's calculations. Huangfu Jingde asked himself for his own plans. There would never be a second army of more than 10,000 people in the entire Zhongzhou area. This is why he is confident that he can still regain his losses after losing Luodu.

The imperial court besieged Luodu was 400,000 people, and another 100,000 were stationed at the north gate and west gate of Luodu City. He attacked from the east gate and surrounded three and one, leaving a way to escape for Fengyi Pavilion, so as not to be anxious and fight with him to the end.

But at this moment, the sudden sound of chaos came from the West, which surprised Huangfu Jingde. It was unknown why there would be a battle in that direction.

No matter how stupid Fengyi Pavilion is, it will not give up on the south gate and rush out from the west gate, right?

Not long after this question began, there was also a shocking shout of killing from the north gate. Within the visible range, the army on the other side actually evacuated the defense zone without authorization and gradually moved towards the east.

"This, this... good thing about him, Zhongli Shangxian, dared to disobey my order, give up the camp, and voluntarily shake the army. Could it be that he wants to rebel?"

The one who commanded the 100,000 troops of the North Gate and the West Gate was the "General Zhenbei" of the past and the current "Horse of Anle" Zhongli Shangxian.

Zhongli Shangxian's 100,000 troops moved. The army that originally planned to attack the city gate was unable to continue to advance immediately, so they changed their formation and made a defensive posture. With the sound of the horn, they gradually retreated and gave up their attack on Luodu City.

When the situation is not clear, it is indeed extremely safe to do so. It can be seen that the commander in front of the battle is indeed a general who knows the troops and deals with it properly.

"Come here. Go and ask what's going on?" Before Huangfu Jingde's order could be passed down, a figure came quickly not far away. Everyone's eyes shrank, and it was obvious that it was An Zhongxin, the eunuch who was in charge of the military supervision beside Zhongli Shangxian.

The old eunuch looked panicked and angry again. After approaching quickly, he shouted without having time to take care of Quanli, "Your Majesty is not good. It was the cavalry of Beidi who attacked. The sudden attack broke through Ximen's 50,000 troops. General Zhongli led the remaining 50,000 troops to resist, and asked the old slave to come and ask Your Majesty to retreat and fight again at a date."

"What Beidi Cavalry?"

Huangfu Jingde was shocked and asked in surprise: "How many people are there, and who are the people who lead the troops?"

An Zhongxin breathed quickly and said, "There were at least 100,000 cavalry that appeared at this time, and all 30,000 Golden Wolf Guards appeared. The flag of the Wolf Lord of the Beidi, the left and right wise kings, and the left and right generals were all present... General Zhongli said that if the army of these Beidi troops went south, there would be at least 300,000 iron cavalry. If there were 100,000 iron cavalry here, there would inevitably be other iron cavalry besieged from other directions. General Zhongli asked His Majesty to retreat quickly to avoid being surrounded by the city."

"Oh, it's annoying!"

Huangfu Jingde roared, extremely sad and angry, and roared: "The bitch from Fengyi Pavilion stolen the country and colluded with foreign enemies to invade China, a trash, a trash!"

Huangfu Jingde was so angry that he felt dark in front of him, and he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down on his back.

"Father!?"

Huangfu Taiming came forward in panic and hugged Huangfu Jingde's body. An Zhongxin was even more frightened and hurried forward and pinched the person and rubbed his chest.

"Oh, what should I do? What should I do?"

An Zhongxin was also panicked when he was anxious, but the enemy was in the face but didn't know what to do.

At this critical moment, Huangfu Taiming felt ruthless in his heart, and suddenly stood up and ordered: "Come, send orders, the rear army will become the front army, and retreat with the central army to the south, and send 100,000 front troops under the city, cooperate with the left army, and break the rear, fight and retreat, and cover the main force to cross the Luoshui south..."

An Zhongxin was shocked when he heard this and asked anxiously: "Thirteenth Master, aren't you going back to Zhengzhou City?"

Zhengzhou City is in the southeast of Luodu, which is the old nest for the Huangfu family to raise an army. Zhengzhou City is also under the control of King Xiaoyao. If the troops withdraw there, they will undoubtedly return to the root and have the opportunity to counterattack.

But Huangfu Taiming shook his head and said, "From here to Zhengzhou, the Qianli Plain is suitable for cavalry attacks. Our main force is heavy infantry. Wouldn't we wait for cavalry to massacre on the plain? Besides, I believe General Zhongli's judgment that the Beidi cavalry is definitely not just the 100,000 troops in front of us. The most likely situation is that the remaining 200,000 cavalry are waiting on our way to retreat to Zhengzhou City, trying to encircle and annihilate us in one fell swoop. And our only way to live now is to Duluo River to the south and enter Jingbei, where the waterways are crisscrossing and not suitable for large-scale combat of northern cavalry, which is enough to get rid of their pursuit and temporarily form a situation of river confrontation."

Although An Zhongxin was loyal, he was just a powerful minister. He replied: "Slaves do not understand military affairs. Since Shisanlang understands these principles, he will make the decision..."

Huangfu Taiming nodded firmly.

I looked up at the still majestic wall of Luodu City, and sighed helplessly, Luodu City, a capital that has not been destroyed for a thousand years, it seems that your name will continue to be preserved.

"Come, call the gold, and send orders to withdraw the troops!"

Dangdang, sharp voices spread throughout the battlefield, the sound of the ox horns and the drums, and in conjunction with various flag orders, hundreds of thousands of troops began to slowly change formations in an orderly manner.

The 100,000 troops under the city leaned towards Zhongli Shangxian in neat steps, with long spears and strict temperament. The Beidi cavalry in the distance who were about to eat all the 50,000 remaining troops in Zhongli Shangxian finally gave up the attack. They allowed Zhongli Shangxian's defeated general to retreat back to the square formation. The armies of both sides confronted each other and slowly retreated.

Although the Beidi cavalry has absolute maneuverability, they will never be so stupid that they will rush forward against the dense gun array.

Zhongli Shangxian is worthy of being the "General Zhenbei" who has been fighting against Beidi for decades. He commanded the army properly and did not give the Beidi cavalry any chance. He kept escorting the army to the north bank of Luoshui, behind him was the intersection of the vast Luoshui and the river.

"Thirteenth Master, what should I do now?" An Zhongxin looked at the endless river. His heart was cold. Could it be that this Thirteenth Master was going to have a scene of fighting on the back?

Huangfu Taiming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Eunuch An, don't be nervous, we... are fine."

"Ah?" An Zhongxin was inexplicably surprised. Huangfu Taiming pointed to the river again. When the old eunuch looked at it again, countless sails emerged from the river in the sky, with thousands of large and small sizes. There were both ordinary fishing boats and slightly larger merchant ships. There were also four or five-story tall warships.

The appearance of the military and civilians united is really amazing.

On the head of a large ship, the river water was cold and looked at the army by the river. The three people came forward next to them, the ghost tiger, the Explosive Bear and the Cang Gou among the "Seven Beasts of the Sky".

At this time, a man came running and bowed his hand and said, "Young Master, the last fleet has arrived as you told me. The fleet of Jingzhou Waterway Eighty-First Village, including our Dajiang League, has been in place."

Jiang Shuihan sighed slightly and said calmly: "According to the original plan, welcome the army to cross the river..."

************

As the sky was shaking, Huangfu Jingde frowned and finally slowly came back under the treatment of Mr. Huanye. However, although his breathing became smooth, he still did not wake up.

Around Huangfu Jingde's bed, Xue Gongwang and An Zhongxin, the two followers, Huangfu Yanzhao, were right in front of him, while Wei Wujian, Duan Juncheng, Zhu Shengbei and other court ministers were on the second floor. As for Lin Nanxuan, Sikong Jianchou, Chu Lingxu and other martial arts masters were farther away.

Mr. Huanye diagnosed Huangfu Jingde's pulse and gently put his hand back into the bedding.

"King Xiaoyao" Huangfu Yanzhao stepped forward and whispered, "How is your Majesty's situation?"

Mr. Huanye sighed and said, "The situation is damaging. Your Majesty has lost his body. This time he is anxious to attack his heart and his heart and brain meridians. Although he temporarily used the spiritual pill to stabilize the injury, his body's loss is too great. He has reached the stage of exhaustion and drying out of oil. I'm afraid..."

An Zhongxin said anxiously: "Is there really no other way?"

Huanye shook his head helplessly.

Xue Gongwang gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Since that's the case, I hope Your Majesty can pass on the decree and see which prince you pass on this broken country to..."

An Zhongxin and Xiaoyao King sighed at the same time, silently silent.

The major event of passing the throne is really not something that people like them can participate in. There are too many taboos here to avoid being left with a scheming message and in vainly arousing the dissatisfaction of the new emperor.

Although the closest Emperor Jing'an was the thirteenth son Huang Fu Taiming, the other seven sons, fifteenth sons, etc., returned to their fiefdom early in order to avoid disaster, and each of them held heavy troops. If they were not handled properly, the world would inevitably be in chaos.

"Uncle Huang..."

A faint voice suddenly came, and as everyone exclaimed, Emperor Jing'an suddenly woke up.

"Jingde? Are you awake? Uncle Huang is here..."

"King of Xiaoyao" Huangfu Yanzhao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Huangfu Jingde's hand.

Huangfu Jingde's eyes began to dissipate, and the exhausted energy actually made him not even look back. He just held Huangfu Yanzhao's hand firmly and said, "Jade, jade seal, priest, national jade seal..."

"It's here, it's here..."

Huangfu Yanzhao took out a tightly wrapped letter seal from his arms and handed it to Huangfu Jingde.

No wonder he couldn't find the jade seal of the kingdom. It turned out that the old emperor handed it over to the oldest and least ambitious "King Xiaoyao" in this family. He was the one who had the strength to protect the jade seal without being moved by power and doing things that would ruin the court.

Huangfu Jingde kept flipping his hands and lifted up all the cloth on the jade seal. Finally, a brilliant light flashed, and the jade seal showed its true body. Below a jade tripod coiled in the nine dragons was a square platform with handwriting engraved.

Huangfu Jingde looked excited and slowly stroked the big words on the jade seal with his hands:

"The martial arts world is orthodox. Become the command from heaven"!

In the end, the word "Tian" was cut off. There was a clear sword mark...

Huangfu Jingde murmured to himself. He repeatedly muttered the eight words "The martial arts world is orthodox, and he is ordered by heaven" until tears filled his eyes and it was difficult to support it.

Everyone was deeply saddened to see that the old emperor who had been dominating the world for the rest of his life finally had such a miserable scene.

When An Zhongxin saw that the old emperor's emotions turned into excitement, he was worried that he would faint again, so he hurried forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad. Your body is important. The world is still waiting for Your Majesty to calm down..."

As soon as he heard the word "world", Huangfu Jingde's body was indeed shocked, and he woke up and suddenly said, "Xiao Anzi..."

An Zhongxin's body shook, he held back his tears, and said tremblingly: "The slave is here."

"Call Shisanlang here, and also ask Zhongli's beloved minister..."

When everyone heard this, they knew that there was something important to convey, and it was even very likely that it would be something that was entrusted to the throne of the Thirteen Lang Huangfu Taiming.

A young eunuch ran out immediately and summoned the Thirteenth Prince who was still commanding the retreat of the army.

Not long after, Huangfu Taiming, who was covered in armor, and Zhongli Shangxian, who was covered in blood and had a very murderous aura, came together.

"Son-member joins the father!"

"The last general will pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"At up, get up..."

Huangfu Jingde held the two of them firmly in their right hands and said, "Love son, I am not able to do it anymore. In the future, my country will be passed on to Thirteen Sons. In terms of internal affairs, there is An Zhongxin, Xue Aiqing in the martial arts world, and in terms of internal affairs, the family, Thirteen Lang can consult the Huang Taishu... But the world is in chaos, and what I can most worry about is strategy. Pacifying the world is an important matter. In this regard, Zhongli's love is a capable person, but remember to help me Thirteen Lang pacify the world!"

Zhongli Shangxian was in tears, "The old minister remembers His Majesty's instructions."

Huangfu Taiming cried: "The father is healthy and can lead the ministers to pacify the world, but the sons will not accept the throne..."

"Nothing!" Huangfu Jingde was angry, but he coughed repeatedly. Everyone hurriedly helped him. After a while, he returned to his anger and continued: "For my father, I know my physical condition. I have already exhausted my energy. I don't have much to say. Listen to my orders..."

Huangfu Taiming nodded in fear and did not dare to say anything more.
To be continued...
