Chapter 1737 Prepare for an ambush!

But thinking that Xu Xiao was now the head of the country, Gu Jiantang hated himself for not giving birth to a good daughter, otherwise, he could be so arrogant.

The most important thing is that he feels that his martial arts skills are very high, but he is no match for Wang Xianzhi. And Wang Yue killed Wang Xianzhi, so he was obviously the best in the world, so he didn't dare to fight Wang Yue at all.

Now that the situation was stronger than his own, he could only bravely walk to the top of the city, looked at Xu Xiao and said, "It turns out to be Xu Guozhan. I wonder if your majesty is here?"

Xu Xiao knew what Gu Jiantang wanted to do, so he smiled and said, "You come down and surrender first, and together we will lead an army of 700,000 people and go to Beimang for a stroll. As for Your Majesty, I will definitely come to see you when needed."

Gu Jiantang understood what Xu Xiao meant, which was to attack Beimang first and cut off his own escape route, so as to give him a way to survive. Otherwise, he could only start the war now and see if he could win.

He hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "In that case, I will make arrangements right away to fight Beimang with Xu Guozhan."

Xu Xiao shook his head and said simply, "Why bother? Open the city gate and let me in. As for how to arrange the team, we can discuss it slowly."

Gu Jiantang was very angry when he saw Xu Xiao being so aggressive, but he felt that Xu Xiao was deliberately irritating him and making him make wrong choices. He looked at the army outside the city and suddenly thought of the emperor of Tai'an City.

He couldn't help but trembled, and before he had time to think about it, he said to his men, "Open the city gate!"

…

Beimang, Wang Ting

The empress stood up suddenly and asked excitedly, "What did you say?"

The centurion knelt on the ground and said very excitedly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Xia led 700,000 troops and marched out of the two Liaos to sweep across Juzizhou. Master Murong has died in the battle under the orders of the emperor!"

The empress frowned and said with some disbelief, "Then Xia Guo didn't just take Tai'an City less than a month ago, how could he sweep across Orange Island?"

The Taiping Order frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Gu Jiantang has defected to the Xia Kingdom, and the two armies have joined forces to start a war against me in Beimang."

The empress frowned and said immediately, "That can't be so fast. We don't have many cities in Orange Island. The army camps can be moved at any time. How did Xia Guo find it?"

Taiping Ling sighed and said helplessly, "If Emperor Xia takes action himself, it will only take a moment to find the right direction."

The empress panicked a little. She didn't expect Emperor Xia to be so bold, so she asked anxiously, "Taiping Order, I wonder what we should do? Emperor Xia is so elusive that it would be very easy to kill him."

Taiping Ling nodded and said solemnly, "In my opinion, I have mobilized the Rouran Iron Cavalry and the elites of various ministries to gather at Tibing Mountain. I have summoned Dong Zhuo to lead all the ministries of the Southern Dynasties out of Longyao Prefecture to attack. We will have a decisive battle with the Xia Kingdom. As for Your Majesty , it is better to summon the masters from Beimang to cooperate with Mop Bodhisattva to guard His Majesty."

After hearing this, the empress said with some reluctance, "But what about the generals in the army? Without protection, they may be the fish in Emperor Xia's hands and can be killed at any time."

Seeing what the empress said, the Taiping Order solemnly said, "If your majesty is considerate of the generals, your majesty can talk to Emperor Xia. The world is so big that Emperor Xia can't control it. Someone must call the shots on the grassland."

After listening to Wang Yue's words, the empress said with some uncertainty, "I'm afraid, this empress also needs to be changed!"

Taiping Ling sighed and said helplessly, "Judging from the news coming from Tai'an City, Wang Yue did not kill all the Liyang royal family, so the same is true for His Majesty."

The empress frowned and said helplessly, "So, I still lost."

The Taiping Order was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion, "Your Majesty, Wang Yue is extremely powerful. He will ascend sooner or later. Therefore, we don't have to worry about how much influence he will have on us. As long as he leaves, Our grassland can stand up again at any time."

The empress shook her head and said helplessly, "I mean I lost to that woman. She was originally the queen, but unfortunately she was pushed out by me. If Wang Yue wants to manage the grassland alone, I'm afraid it's that woman. My niece will be the master of the grassland, and it will definitely not be me."

Only then did the Taiping Order understand what the empress was saying. He was silent for a while and then said, "Your Majesty, in that case, why don't we make preparations and wait for Emperor Xia at Tibing Mountain.

After this battle, if we lose, we will have nothing to say. Emperor Xia came in a hurry, thinking that he didn't have time to mobilize the masters from the Central Plains. We have Tuoba Bodhisattva, and our Chess, Sword and Yuefu are not without backup, and we are not without power to fight. "

The empress was actually not willing to give in. Seeing that the Taiping Order was still willing to fight, she nodded and said, "In that case, let's give it a try!"

…

Dunhuang City, outside the gate of the city lord's palace

Wang Yue went back to Xiangyang and brought Hongshu. Originally he just wanted to reunite Hongshu with her aunt, but he didn't expect to meet a Taoist priest at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

Wang Yue saw that this Taoist priest had good cultivation, so he asked curiously, "I wonder how you broke through my formation?"

The Taoist priest looked at Wang Yue for a long time, then bowed to Wang Yue, and then said with a smile, "Poverty Taoist Yuan Qingshan, Taoist name Qilin Zhenren, is the Beimang Imperial Master, and came here to see Emperor Xia."

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, he was a master of Daode Sect, so he asked curiously, "I don't know if you are looking for me on behalf of your Daode Sect or Beimang!"

Yuan Qingshan shook his head and said solemnly, "I represent Beimang Daomen!"

Wang Yue understood that Yuan Qingshan just wanted to have a good relationship with him, so he felt a little funny and said, "Our two countries are at war, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Qingshan saw that Wang Yue didn't seem to care much about him. He was a little worried in his heart, so he quickly said sincerely, "Whether it is the Taoist sect in Beimang or the Taoist sect in Central Plains, we are all one family. Your Majesty is also the elder of Wudang Mountain. Can't you give me some help?" Is there a way to survive in Beimang's Daomen?"

Wang Yue looked at Yuan Qingshan and said solemnly, "Whether you survive or not depends on your performance. In recent years, you, the masters of Tao De Sect, have helped Beimang a lot. You just want to expose the truth easily." In the past, I’m afraid it wasn’t that easy.”

Yuan Qingshan also knew that it was very difficult for Wang Yue to let go of their Taoist sect. He actually didn't particularly care. It was just because of Nalan Youci. Nalan Youci made a wrong bet, so he had to come here.

He hesitated for a moment and then said solemnly, "I can pass on everything I have learned in my life to Your Majesty, and at the same time, let me, a disciple of the Daode Sect, come to serve in Dunhuang City. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Wang Yue saw that Yuan Qingshan had chosen to side with him, and was unwilling to embarrass the old man any more, so he nodded and said, "Forget it, as long as your Tao De Sect works hard in the future, I won't make it more difficult. It's just what you have learned in your life. , what’s so special about it?”

Yuan Qingshan took out three books from his sleeve pocket and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you will know after you try them."

Wang Yue glanced at the top book and saw the words "One Qi Transforms Three Purities". He couldn't help but think of Taishang Laojun.

Thinking of Yuan Qingshan's Tao Te Sect, which seemed to be taught by someone, he felt less murderous intent in his heart. He casually took three books and then said, "I know you didn't just come here to say that you want to surrender to us. She must have been entrusted by Empress Beimang to come over and delay.

I can also help you and give you time to transfer your disciples, but each of these three secrets can only delay one day. You can go back and inform the empress to see how many secrets he can delay. "

Yuan Qingshan didn't expect that Wang Yue would see through one of the reasons for his coming, which shocked him.

Fortunately, the murderous intention in Wang Yue's heart subsided a little for some reason, and he said awkwardly, "After all, our Daode Sect has enjoyed the protection of Beimang Sanjiazi. The empress asked me for help, and I had to help.

But our Taoist sect's desire to be loyal to His Majesty is very sincere and not false. "

Wang Yue smiled and nodded, and said casually, "I don't care what you say, I just want to see what you do in the future."

Yuan Qingshan bowed respectfully to Wang Yue, then nodded and said, "In that case, I will take my leave."

After watching Yuan Qingshan leave, Hongshu asked with some worry, "Your Majesty, the daily consumption of an army of 700,000 is not a small amount. Isn't it better to wait like this?"

Seeing Hongshu's worry, Wang Yue smiled and explained, "There are only a few cities in the entire Orange Island. Our army happens to be here, so let the soldiers be here and take advantage of this time to build a few more cities.

As for the construction materials, they have been waiting at Beiliang for a long time, and they will definitely be transported during this time.

Once the city is built, we will be able to control this place in the future. Otherwise, after we retreat, there will probably be a lot of horse thieves making trouble in Orange Island, and it will be difficult to control it. "

Hongshu understood that Wang Yue did this for her, and she said with some emotion, "Your Majesty, I am your woman, there is no need to make such arrangements for me."

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head and said, "You were born in the grassland, so I must have a plan for our children in the future, just like if Weixiong has a child, his future fiefdom will definitely be in Beiliang."

Hongshu was very happy after hearing what Wang Yue said, so he stopped worrying about this issue and asked worriedly, "What should I do with the food for the army? I think the food and grass in the army can't last for a few days."

After listening to Wang Yue and Hongshu's words, the Lord of Dunhuang said with a smile, "Don't worry, His Majesty asked me to store grain in Dunhuang City three years ago, and he also arranged several formations, that is In order to preserve food and grass well.

These grains are enough to feed an army of 700,000 people for a month, so this war will not take long. "
