Chapter 308: Twelve vassals
The Snake King stood up and walked to the east to see the smoke and dust in the sky. It was not because of his distrust of the guard who came to report the news, but because of his own desire to see who else could take so many soldiers and horses to speed up on this land that was about to belong to him.
The throne of the King of Xijiang Kingdom was already in his bag in the eyes of the Snake King. No matter what happens, the Snake King would not allow him to fly the duck meat that had already eaten to his mouth. Last night, the Snake King followed the army up the mountain and hid in the dark to show Yun Zangfeng's every move. In the eyes of the Snake King, it was a useless act that only reckless men like the Lion King and the Wolf King would do, and the Snake King would only give the enemy a last blow.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened to Yun Zangfeng. The blood-red light shocked the Snake King, and even made the Snake King give up the idea of using Yun Zangfeng as a stepping stone for his ascending the throne. If such an unparalleled warrior is included in his Snake King's command, not only the barren land of the Western Xinjiang Kingdom, but also the land of China, the Snake King's flag will be filled with the Snake King's flag.
However, after some negotiations, the Snake King also knew that Yun Zangfeng could not be absorbed by him. Such a person could not be used by him, and he would not be allowed to let him go back to the mountain. At this time, the Snake King's mentality was like a petty resentful woman. Even if it was destroyed, it would not be allowed to others to get what I could not get.
Fortunately, there is still the original plan, otherwise we would not get people and achieve achievements. The Snake King's move to kill the wolf king and destroy the eagle king should have lost all his money.
No matter where it is, the new king should basically be a big deal. Whether it is the inheritance system of father's death, brother's death, brother's death, or the yellow robe, the first thing the thief does after ascending to the throne is often to eliminate dissidents, eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty, and cultivate their own power.
Since the Snake King is determined to seek the greatest victory among the courts and oppositions in the Western Xinjiang country, it is inevitable that he will appoint new people and get a group of confidants for himself, otherwise many things will be very difficult to deal with. In this case, the Snake King has cut off the Wolf King, the Lion King also died in the Dragon Stoop, and the Eagle King is unwilling to be taken under his command. The remaining people in the entire Western Xinjiang dynasty are either civil officials who only talk about war on paper or eunuchs who do not have any grass on their mouths. There is really no one available. This is not because the Snake King has a desire to cherish talent and must bring Yun Zangfeng into his own.
Unfortunately, truly talented people are always arrogant in their hearts. Yun Zangfeng is unwilling to do such things and cannot force others to do it. However, even the Snake King who wants to implement the original plan has many obstacles. The army of unknown origins makes the Snake King uneasy, and always feels that all his plans will be in vain.
The sound of horse hooves over there was like thunder, resounding throughout the world. There were dozens of different banners in the team, and I don’t know where they came from. Just by the sound of horse hooves and the smoke and dust in the sky, the experienced Snake King roughly judged that the army attacked from the east had no less than 50,000 troops.
"Send the order to order all the soldiers besieging Tulongpo to withdraw to the camp, build fortifications, and prepare to face the enemy. Yun Zangfeng on the mountain is not allowed to run away, just leave a thousand people to watch, don't do it, just surround it." The Snake King said to a more trustworthy minister beside him.
When the close ministers got the order, they ran out, and ordered one after another through the mouths and legs of different people. Almost a moment, more than 10,000 elite troops from the Western Xinjiang who surrounded the three people on the mountain retreated to the camp.
Yun Zangfeng and the other two also set off to prepare for the enemy.
I never thought that everyone would withdraw for a moment, but some soldiers from Xijiang still set up ambushes on the hillside. If you want to take the opportunity to escape, you must go through the Xijiang camp. This is not a wise move for Yun Zangfeng, whose body has not yet recovered, and Hu Li and Xiaohu who have experienced a great battle.
"Zangfeng, what should we do now? Should we break through or rest and wait for an opportunity?" Xiaohu slowly jumped to Yun Zangfeng's side, and his eyes were still staring at the army of the Western Xinjiang country slowly retreating behind.
Yun Zangfeng was also very confused about the enemy's sudden retreat, but it was always a good thing to avoid a bloody battle. The three of them were surrounded by the enemy and had to fight to trap beasts. So Yun Zangfeng said to Xiaohu: "Brother Xiaohu, there are only three of us left. We should make a decision and then move more steadily. Since the enemy does not attack, we should not act rashly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, let's clean up the corpses of our brothers."
There are too many corpses on the ground. It is really difficult to find the part that once belonged to the soldiers of the Han and Tang dynasties from the vast sea of corpses. However, this did not become a reason for Yun Zangfeng and the other two to be lazy. None of the three of them spoke, but they just kept picking up pieces of bodies from the sticky blood and the almost connected corpses.
Many soldiers were cut off and still insisted on fighting, so their arms were always in this place, but they fell far away from their arms. There were too many broken hands and legs behind them, and they couldn't tell which one was from which one.
However, with the unremitting efforts of Yun Zangfeng and the other two, they finally separated the bodies of soldiers from the soldiers of the Han and Tang dynasties from those of soldiers of the Western Xinjiang. It has to be said that the corpses of thousands of people were piled together, and the scene was too terrifying. It was as high as a small hill. Even Yun Zangfeng, who was extremely physically strong, was so tired that he sat on the mountain of soldiers of the Western Xinjiang to rest.
The army from the east had already come very close. The Snake King was very curious about the origin of this army, so he kept standing at the gate of the camp. He saw it clearly that a general in the lead was wearing a white robe, with a feminine face, and looked like a young man with a warm and cheerful body, but weak body, not like a general leading troops to fight, but more like a scholar.
There were dozens of handsome flags, scorpions, white wolves, red snakes, etc., which were very poorly made and the fabric was inferior. I don’t know where I temporarily pieced together a miscellaneous army. The only one who could be attracted by the Snake King should be the four-clawed dragon-like flag of the central army, with a black background and gold thread, vivid.
The Snake King led his troops to meet him. The two teams met more than 30 meters away from the camp and stopped. The Snake King first made a fuss and stood up immediately. He performed a manner that only when the Western Xinjiang Kingdom was entertaining the guests, and said, "I am one of the four beast kings of the Western Xinjiang Kingdom, the Snake King. I don't know who is the army led by the visitor and which country it belongs to, can I have an ultimatum?"
The young man who looked more like a scholar than a military general and walked up to him, but he did not comply with the etiquette of the Western Xinjiang, but he looked like a general of the Han and Tang dynasties. He clasped his fists and bowed and said, "I heard about the great name of the Snake King for a long time. When I saw him today, it was indeed extraordinary. Here is the legitimate son of the Han and Tang dynasties, Ji refused to let go."
The five words "the legitimate son of the great emperor" are like a bombshell in the Snake King's mind. After it exploded, it was difficult to stop. Countless thoughts turned to my mind, but I just couldn't figure out how this so-called eldest prince would appear here at this time?
According to the Western Xinjiang
In intelligence, Ji Bushe took a detour to the Loulan Kingdom, further west of the Western Xinjiang Kingdom for help for the war between the Han and Tang dynasties and the Western Xinjiang Kingdom, hoping that the Loulan Kingdom could attack the Han and Tang dynasties on both sides and defeat the Western Xinjiang Kingdom.
After learning about this news, the Xijiang Kingdom also sent many domestic experts to chase and kill the great princes of the Han and Tang dynasties for help, but unfortunately, this horse team has not been blocked. You must know that you must pass through the boundary of the Northern Territory. After Kochaerqin conquered the Northern Territory, the top ten tribes in the Northern Territory were in the same spirit as the Western Territory. It is impossible for the Han and Tang dynasties to let the Han and Tang dynasties pass by the Northern Territory.
So from beginning to end, Xijiang Kingdom didn't know how Ji Bushe came there and how he arrived in Loulan Kingdom. However, when the people from Xijiang Kingdom received the news from Ji Bushe for the last time, Ji Bushe was ambushed by an unknown team on the border of Xijiang Kingdom, but no one knew where this team came from.
After that, Ji Bushe disappeared and heard that he was dead. However, in order to fight against the Western Xinjiang Kingdom, Ji Xiu, the emperor of the Han and Tang dynasties, did not die in secret. Why did this mysterious prince appear here again today?
"I don't know if the eldest prince came and was in a bad mood. I don't know if the eldest prince came and was in a hurry and traveled thousands of miles. What kind of thing is there to do? Can I help?" Although the Snake King was surprised, he was silent on the surface and asked Ji Bushe indirectly.
Ji Bushe looked like a nerd who was stupid in his reading. In fact, he had a very clear mind. If not, how could he live so long in a place like the least affectionate place like the royal family? He smiled shyly and said, "I heard from my father that an uncle who once led his army deep into the Western Xinjiang Kingdom and finally died here. I have been fascinated by this uncle's courage for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't see him at first."
"Some time ago, Ji traveled to the north and made some friends in the Twelve Vocational Kingdoms. I also told these stories to my friends in the Twelve Vocational Kingdoms. Everyone was excited and immediately said that they must come to the Western Xinjiang to pay tribute. So, did I come with my friends I made these days?"
The Twelve Vocational Kingdoms are located at the junction of the Northern Territory and the Han and Tang dynasties. They are an independent area. They were originally just bandits or prisoners who fled from various countries gathered a group of refugees of unknown origin. Unexpectedly, they gradually became a climate, and kept separating themselves in a small place, becoming the Twelve Vocational Kingdoms today.
The place was remote and had few resources, but it was very dangerous. Gradually, no one managed it. Later, it turned into a deserted land until the first commanders of the Twelve Vocational Kingdoms began to enter. Few people could still come out after entering the territory of the Twelve Vocational Kingdoms. It was rumored that the miasma there would never be dispersed all year round and swamps were everywhere. Ordinary people would inevitably die in the inside and became fresh meat that wild dogs rush to eat.
The Twelve Vocational Kingdoms are different from Baiyue. There are many miasma and poisons in Baiyue. However, Baiyue is a huge ethnic group composed of different tribes. They are constantly fighting internally but are very united to the outside world. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to interfere in Baiyue. However, the Twelve Vocational Kingdoms are both in the same shape, both internally and externally, and there is no advantage in terms of position that they must get, so they have become a three-doubt area.
It is precisely the unique landform, climate and geographical location there that makes it very difficult for people from the Twelve Vocational States to deal with. No one knows what unexpected abilities these people have. Poison is just the most common thing among people from the Twelve Vocational States.
