Chapter 355: The heroes join the game, the Wolf King's plan! (asking for monthly tickets)

Li Guanyi's troops have captured all the cities. Originally, there were only forty-one large and small city-states outside Yemen City. However, because Li Guanyi had released the captives before, people near these cities all knew that Anxi City would not kill captives, and that its mighty power was like a descent from heaven.

It just so happened that the Wolf King occupied the core and was about to become the dominant power.

Just as Po Jun said, Li Guanyi's move was the opposite of the Wolf King's. The more powerful the Wolf King's momentum was, the higher Li Guanyi's reputation was. In addition, the Khans and Chanyu of various tribes sent their top generals, brothers, and even uncles to form an army to compete with Xiao Wuliang. The continuous logistical pressure brought tremendous oppression to the people of the Western Regions.

The situation is tense at the moment, and the Wolf King's momentum is growing stronger.

The neat appearance of Li Guanyi's troops made them stand out even more.

When the army set out, not only did the cities that Duke Li had promised at the time open their gates and surrender, but many other cities also came to submit. Some were surrendered by the generals defending the city, some were caused by the people rebelling, and even worse, there were cases where the city lords came with their entire city.

There are more than fifty cities of various sizes, with millions of dependent people. The territory is vast and the momentum is already established. Even in the most vast and remote areas of the Western Regions, people have heard of the name of Tianger of Anxi City, which is slightly better than the Khans.

The Western Regions cover a thousand miles of land and are home to cities of all sizes.

They all received Li Guanyi's seal.

Anyone who goes there and displays the seal of Anxi City is treated with courtesy and no one dares to disobey. Now, their power and influence have reached such a great height.

Even now, there are still city lords and nobles who send envoys and deliver letters with a very respectful attitude. They all say that if the royal army comes, they will definitely surrender to him and are willing to submit to him and offer gold, silver, treasures and beauties.

The writing style in the Central Plains is very simple.

'If you are willing to accept us, we will come over. If not, please write back to us.'

Li Guanyi put down the letter, and Pojun said, "My lord, several more cities have surrendered."

"There are more than 100,000 civilians, with 3,000 soldiers and horses, armor, and a lot of gold and silver."

"There are thousands of soldiers in the cities, some large and some small. There are thousands of soldiers. Now there are sixty cities. If we mobilize the troops together, we can have a hundred thousand soldiers. If we add the troops that Anxi City already has, the lord can raise an army of two hundred thousand!"

Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses!
If we talk about fighting for the world, it is not enough.

But becoming the overlord of a place is more than enough.

After Po Jun finished talking about the benefits, he said: "However, correspondingly, the nobles of these cities, big and small, plundered their gold and silver. In addition, there are the costs of maintaining the army of more than 100,000, the military pay, the food consumption, the cost of weapon loss, and..."

Po Jun unfolded the file and described in detail the consumption of more than ten kinds of gold and silver.

There is no other reason to say this.

He just told Li Guanyi how all the gold, silver and money in his vast territory disappeared, and finally all the information was combined into a number that was enough to pierce the heart of this hero who was feared by the Western Regions.

"All cities are in a state of loss, and the people have consumed a lot of money. We need about 7 million taels of silver in supplies..."

The veins on Li Guanyi's forehead twitched.

Po Jun said slowly: "In a word."

"The more cities there are, the more money the Anxi Protectorate will need."

"Unless you, my lord, are willing to release your troops and plunder these two million civilians, then it would be enough to plunder a huge amount of gold and silver, but I'm afraid there would be heavy casualties in various places..."

Po Jun paused and said softly:
"This is why, in troubled times, there are often massacres of cities."

"I even heard that they killed civilians and soldiers and used their bodies to make dried meat, which was mixed with pork dried meat in a ratio of 40:60, and used to make military rations and meat porridge as rewards for the soldiers."

"In troubled times, saving lives is a luxury, my lord."

Li Guanyi said: "If we can't save people, what's the point of raising troops?"

Po Jun said softly: "I knew you would say that, lord."

Without such magnanimity, how could dozens of cities surrender like this?

If it was Duke Li who came, they would only sign an alliance with Duke Li and join forces with each other. This is for profit. It is precisely because they come for the pursuit of benefits that when more benefits are placed in front of them, they will choose that side.

And if the Wolf King comes.

I'm afraid that everyone in the city is of one mind at the moment.

If they fall into the hands of the Wolf King, there is a risk of the whole city being massacred.

The people of the Western Regions are also very fierce. No matter where they go, they will die anyway, so it is better to die on the battlefield!

Only because Li Guanyi's troops did not harm anyone and issued extremely strict military orders, the people were willing to surrender. And after surrendering, they could immediately feel the huge gap between the troops under Li Guanyi and the heroic troops of this era who were as smooth as combs.

At the beginning, only a few of the more than 40 cities surrendered.

But when the people around found out what Li Guanyi's troops had done, they almost swarmed over.

It far exceeded the promise made by Duke Li.

Qibili was amazed.

Fan Qing said, "If the mountains and rivers can produce a Qilin Army, and the desert can have a Protectorate, then isn't it reasonable that a city-state would emerge in the oasis that the lord passed by?"

Qibili looked at Fan Qing, and for a moment he didn't know whether this good friend and colleague was serious or joking.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that the Qilin Army’s Tiance Mansion really has such a style?
Soon, as the city-states under Li Guanyi's command gathered together, the rewards received from Duke Li were visibly consumed. This was the case when every time they entered a city, Nangong Wumeng would take a walk around the treasury and find a lot of hidden gold and silver.

Li Guanyi flipped through the battle report and murmured, "The more cities we have, the more soldiers we have. The more soldiers we have, the less food we have. The less food we have, the more cities and land we need. The more cities and land we have, the more soldiers we need. The more soldiers we have, the less food we have, the more cities and land we need."

Sixty cities, two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and more than two million people from the Western Regions.

It is within this vortex of twists, turns and expansion.

Li Guanyi’s fortune of thirty years was crushed to pieces.

Li Guanyi sighed and said to Pojun, "To be able to gather so many people in such a short time shows the power of the Wolf King. Two hundred thousand soldiers are still not enough compared to the Wolf King's army."

"How is the battle line now?"

Po Jun replied, "The Wolf King's power grew stronger and stronger. Xiao Wuliang was fighting outside Hongxia City with the armies of the Western Regions. Almost the entire Western Regions had gathered to attack him, but Xiao Wuliang resisted and did not retreat."

Li Guanyi said: "As expected of [Moko Wuliang]."

Pojun and Li Guanyi both realized that the situation in the Western Region had entered a period of competition between the two sides. Whether the Wolf King would conquer all the enemies or Li Guanyi would rise up completely first, both sides were racing against time.

Po Jun said: "My lord, the Wolf King is very powerful and his military might is invincible, but it is precisely because he has accumulated such a powerful military force that his methods are ruthless and cruel, and he is extremely domineering. The tribes in the Western Regions are very resistant to him."

"The Wolf King's army is huge, numbering 500,000."

"But their logistics, supply, and sustained combat capabilities are far inferior to those of the lord and the various tribes in the Western Regions. It can be said that with an army of 500,000, if one dies, there will be one less. It will be difficult to replenish them. It will take time to stabilize the morale of the army to the point where they will obey the Wolf King who massacred the city."

"My lord, you have a great reputation. If you raise your arm, you will have more than enough troops of 200,000. However, if you need more troops, the people will have to sacrifice their lives."

Po Jun said: "I have seen a good opportunity today."

He said softly, "If the Wolf King and the elite troops of the Western Regions fight to the death outside Hongxia City and both sides suffer heavy losses, the generals of Tiance Mansion will arrive and the lord will lead the army to seize the initiative."

"It's just that the Wolf King is also a famous general in the world. I wonder if there will be any changes."

"No, there must be a change."

Pojun had a complicated expression and a hint of worry in his eyes.

Li Guan nodded. He looked at this place and said, "It's almost November. Speaking of which, Duke Li's battle report has also been sent to Jiang Wanxiang and Jiang Su..."

Pojun nodded.

The Western Regions is one end of the world. When the conflicts in the Western Regions became more and more intense and acute, in the Central Plains, Chen and Ying were fighting, and Ying had the upper hand. When the war report was sent to the capital of Ying.

Jiang Wanxiang looked at the battle record, the ranking of the twenty-seventh on the God General List, and the report from Duke Li, and suddenly smiled and said, "I see, that's how it is. It's really amazing. At such a young age, he's ranked twenty-seventh."

"Whose Qilin child is this?"

"If so."

"How can my son compete with him?!"

The current fifth general, He Ruo Qinhu, said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Tian Geer is Li Guanyi?! In this case, the alliance between Li Shude and Li Guanyi is not helping the enemy?!"

Jiang Wanxiang said: "I am also in alliance with Li Guanyi. Am I also an ally of the enemy?"

He Ruo's murderous words were blocked.

Jiang Wanxiang exclaimed: "He is so young, but he has already gained momentum. Li Guanyi, ah Li Guanyi, he is really good. The Wolf King does not know about the alliance between Li Guanyi and me, and is worried that Li Guanyi's identity will be exposed. I will do whatever it takes to attack him."

He Ruoqinhu said in a deep voice:
"But in my humble opinion, Li Guanyi is more threatening than the Wolf King."

Emperor Yingguo said with a casual smile, "Li Guan is only one year younger. No matter how strong his martial arts are, or how powerful his methods are, he is only ranked 27th. The old wolf king is even stronger with age, and his position on the God General List is even higher than yours."

"Do you think he is stronger than you?"

He Ruoqinhu said: "The Wolf King is stronger than Li Guanyi, but the Wolf King of this age is also stronger than the seventeen-year-old Qilin. However, the Wolf King's martial arts were once abolished. Now he has rebuilt it and used the forbidden method of the Chen Kingdom. He will not live for too long."

"Li Guanyi is younger than him!"

Emperor Ying remained silent for a long time.

He Ruoqinhu said: "This kind of person, who has swallowed up the Western Regions, is comparable to the Wolf King. I think this person can almost be our enemy, but I am already forty-seven years old, and Li Guanyi is half a century younger than me."

"When Qilin grows up and His Majesty passes away, we are old. Who among the young men can stop Li Guanyi's army? Is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

"By that time, the hero will be old, but Li Guanyi will be in his prime!"

"Call yourself king and emperor."

"It's still unknown!"

"My lord, there is a military strategy that says that if you are not halfway across the river, you should attack them in the middle. Li Guanyi is young now, so please allow me to personally lead a cavalry from Duke Li's place, go out of the city and attack him to stop his advance!"

"As for Wolf King Chen Fubi, his battle line is too long and he cannot take care of himself. When he fights with the armies of the thirty-six tribes in Hongxia City, he will be seriously injured. There is no need to worry about him."

Jiang Wanxiang was silent for a long time, struggling slightly.

He held the battle report in his hand for a long time, with murderous intent and silence in his eyes.

Finally he shook his head and said:
"Although we are in a chaotic world, we should still have an upright heart and stand firm between heaven and earth. Since we have already made an alliance, it is known to heaven, earth and me. Although no one blames me, how can I break the contract just because he rises up?"

He Ruo wanted to persuade him again.

Jiang Wanxiang scolded, "Are you trying to make me a Chen Dingye?"

There was no way He Ruo could persuade Qin Hu anymore.

But when he turned back, he met the prime minister and said angrily: Your Majesty was brave and heroic when he was young, which enabled you to accomplish great things and achieve such hegemony. But now, because of the so-called heroism of keeping promises, you are restraining your own hands and feet.

The so-called emperor is neither good nor evil, only the winner is the king!
Seeing this hero is like being in the deep mountains, watching a young tiger roaring in the valley, frightening all the beasts. Your Majesty does not want to kill the young tiger to prevent the disaster from happening, but instead wants to keep his promise and wait for the tiger to rise up in the future.

"Your Majesty should regret not listening to me!"

Prime Minister Wei Yiwen said nothing, but later told Jiang Wanxiang about it.

Jiang Wanxiang laughed heartily, not taking it seriously, and just said, "If you tell the secret to the back, wouldn't you be ashamed of He Ruo's capture of the tiger?"

Wei Yiwen said: "I am loyal to Your Majesty."

Jiang Wanxiang shook his head, smiled approvingly and scolded, saying, "Old fox."

Wei Yiwen said, "If you are not an old fox, how can you deal with His Majesty, the fierce tiger, the heroic Imperial Master, General Yuwen Lie, General He Ruo, these fierce men, and still be able to sit here peacefully for more than ten years?"

"I propose that General He Ruoqinhu should be demoted for making irresponsible remarks about the emperor." Wei Yiwen pretended to be old and confused and said:

"But Duke Li also said this is Tianger?"

"I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and confused."

Jiang Wanxiang smiled and said, "Maybe he was drunk."

"Forget it, let him be!"

This casual conversation raised the matter of Xiyi City to a high level, but then brought it down lightly.

So they called He Ruoqinhu in, scolded him severely, and demoted the great general to guard the connection with Jiangnan. He Ruoqinhu was so angry that he went to Wei Yiwen and scolded him, making Wei Yiwen drool all over his head.

He wished he could pick up his precious sword and chop Wei Yiwen to death.

Wei Yiwen was shocked and walked around the pillar. He Ruoqin chopped him with his sword and almost chopped off the old man's hair. Wei Yiwen was furious and said, "You idiot, I'm helping you, why are you like this?"

"If I hadn't spoken the truth, once your gossips about His Majesty behind his back were discovered, His Majesty would definitely be very unhappy. Now I'm giving you a way out and letting you hide far away, isn't that just right?"

He Ruoqinhu said angrily: "You're going to the Western Regions to be a horse archer?!"

"We can't go and fight with the Wolf King or the Qilin!"

"Does His Majesty allow me to go to the Western Regions and allow me to send troops to Li Guanyi?"

Wei Yiwen said: "His Majesty said that he would not allow it."

He Ruoqinhu said: "You..."

Wei Yiwen asked, "But has the general forgotten the old saying of the military strategists?"

He Ruo paused while catching the tiger, and Wei Yiwen smiled and reminded him:

"I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."

He Ruoqinhu's eyes lit up slightly, as if thinking about something. Wei Yiwen laughed and said:
"This is just something I said. Your Majesty didn't mean it. Your Majesty must keep his promise and is unwilling to take action against Li Guanyi. However, he is worried that his insistence may lead to changes in the world situation."

"After much struggle, we made this decision."

"The general is a famous general. He must be able to see the changes in the situation more clearly on the front line. He will be able to make the decision when the time comes."

"Anyway, the historian only recorded that your majesty was a man of his word, and Wei Yiwen was a treacherous minister who betrayed his friend's trust and informed on others. Your majesty was angry and demoted General He Ruo, who had captured the tiger. General He Ruo had made military achievements and was able to return..."

He Ruoqinhu insisted: "Can we attack Li Guanyi?"

As a famous general, he was extremely wary of the rapidly improving Li Guanyi - this rising momentum was so familiar to him. He originally thought that Qin Wuhou, who was originally ranked 47th on the list of divine generals, was already extremely amazing.

But no one expected that Li Guanyi changed his name and moved to another place.

The speed of rise is even more outrageous!

From spring to winter, he fought hard and earned the name Tianger.

Ranked in the top 30 of the God General List.

Wei Yiwen thought for a moment and said, "Unless he can really threaten the lord."

"Otherwise, no."

"Your Majesty values ​​his promises, but he also cares about the world. The current strategy is to unite with Li Guanyi and fight the Wolf King together. But if..."

"You are a famous general, you will understand."

He Ruoqinhu was thoughtful and realized that he was like a living chess piece.

At this stage, he is a master hand used to cooperate with Li Guanyi, curb the terrifying force and momentum of the Wolf King, and stop the rise of the Wolf King; but secretly, he is also used to restrict Li Guanyi and prevent Li Guanyi from rising completely, replacing the Wolf King and becoming a hidden chess piece with a greater threat.

Jiang Wanxiang is a hero and a overlord.

He Ruoqinhu pondered for a long time, and said to Wei Yiwen in admiration:

"Your Majesty, all the good things are yours, but you have to bear the bad things by yourself. You don't even want a good reputation after your death. Hahaha, you are worthy of being like this, old man. It's rare that you can hold the position of Prime Minister for more than ten years!"

"Tell me, how can I stay in power in this officialdom?"

"But what kind of earth-shattering talent do you need?"

Wei Yiwen replied:

"It depends on your Majesty's mind, and I will bear the bad reputation for your Majesty."

"enough."

He Ruoqinhu seemed to be thinking about something, then he bowed and said, "I will accept your advice."

So he packed up his luggage and rushed to Xiyi City to hand over the emperor Jiang Wanxiang's handwritten letter to Li Shude. After Li Guogong unfolded it, he saw that it said lightly: "Double Li Alliance, you have done a great thing."

Double Lee...

Li Shude's pupils contracted and he felt a slight chill on his back.

Formerly the fourth divine general and now the fifth divine general, He Ruoqinhu is stationed in Xiyi City.

So they organized their troops and waited for the Wolf King Xiao Wuliang to engage in a bloody battle with other tribes in Hongxia City.

The states of Chen and Lu remained silent and quietly strengthened their city defenses.

Chen Dingye formed an alliance with the Great Khan of the Turks to fight against Jiang Su, but he was still no match for him.

Chen Dingye had gradually become indifferent and quiet. Only one day, a general sighed and said, "If Duke Taiping were still alive, it wouldn't be like this." Chen Dingye was originally at a military banquet, but he suddenly changed color and became furious.

Finally, when he looked at the list of generals, he saw that many familiar names had disappeared, including some who were once the pillars of the State of Chen. He felt bitter and aching in his heart, and was filled with regret.

But even though he felt regretful, he remained calm.

Looking at the information from the world, he said: "Tianger..."

"At this age, with this method."

Chen Dingye asked, "Li Guanyi?"

The person standing at the highest point in the world does not see the ups and downs and changes of one individual, but the magnificent changing trend of the entire era. In this era, there are not many people who can have such courage.

Chen Dingye remained silent for a long time before giving the order. Then Lu Youxian, who was stationed at the western border of Chen State, saw the special military order:

[Secretly cooperate with the Wolf King and the Crown Prince to clamp down on Anxi City]

The secret order, which was just one sentence long, seemed to contain too much weight.

Lu Youxian remained silent.

The Wolf King rebelled against Chen.

Chen Dingye was willing to join forces with the Great Khan, but he also wanted to restrain Jiang Su, the world's number one general who was the only one who could defeat the Wolf King head-on.

Chen Wenmian was also called the Crown Prince.

He secretly wanted to clamp down on Anxi City, which had already become the dominant force in the Western Region.

It was clear that the emperor of the Chen Kingdom was ready to entrust the entire Chen Kingdom to him and to use up his last bit of courage to buy time for the rise of the Wolf King and Chen Wenmian.

The internally corrupt Chen State must be reborn with the help of Chen Wenmian.

Reborn as a brave giant with flesh and blood.

Even if it was at the cost of himself, using the world as a weapon, and cutting off the rotten flesh of the giant Chen State, one cannot help but say that there was a tragic heroism of retreating to advance, and to die for survival.

Completely different from the scheming Emperor Chen back then.

Lu Youxian remained silent, but sighed: "If Your Majesty had made this decision earlier, why would your heart and character be in such a state?"

"Wait for now."

"The Wolf King's foundation is unstable. He slaughtered the city. Although the soldiers and horses are fierce, they cannot sustain it and cannot fight for a long time. When the Wolf King's foundation is in trouble, Anxi City will surely take advantage of the situation and press forward. Then we will attack from behind and clamp down on him."

He Ruoqinhu wants to unite with Anxi City to strangle the Wolf King's hegemony, but at the same time he also wants to curb the rise of Li Guanyi; and Chen Dingye tries his best to balance the world's number one general, Lu Youxian is calm and wants to remain motionless until the enemy moves, but he also curbs Anxi City from behind to help the Wolf King rise.

The brave generals from various tribes in the Western Regions formed an allied force, while Xiao Wuliang guarded the pass.

In the area besieged by the Wolf King, the entire Dangxiang State was united in fighting to the death.

Everyone could see that the Wolf King was running out of stamina.

The heroes and famous generals of the world looked down and watched the Wolf King's rise to power. They also watched how his massacre of the city caused the last people in the Dangxiang State to gather and strengthen their hearts, leading to the alliance of various tribes in the Western Regions sending troops.

Heroes of the world, look at the Wolf King’s empire crumbling.

It seemed that they had guessed that famous generals from the great country of Central Plains would also arrive one after another.

The khans and princes of various tribes in the Western Regions kept urging the generals and famous generals at the front line to break through the blockade of Xiao Wuliang and the Wolf King's Iron Army at all costs, regardless of casualties.

Many generals were extremely annoyed and angry, but because it was the Khan's order, they had to obey. Famous generals entered the city, issued orders quickly, and reinforcements were sent from all directions. The Khans of various tribes in the Western Regions continued to exploit the people and invested their troops and generals into the Hongxia City in the Western Regions.

Even if the general disobeyed, he would be ordered to scold him!

The situation in the Western Regions is becoming increasingly turbulent and intense.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Heroes from all over the world flocked to the scene.

The wolf king's empire had just begun, but it seemed to be crumbling and unstable.

But Pojun was still hesitant and uneasy, so he told Li Guanyi not to be anxious.

Everyone knew the Wolf King's predicament, everyone knew the Wolf King's shortcomings, and everyone made their move into the game; this almost meant that the Wolf King's problems were obvious and very real, as even when they arrived in the Western Regions of Chen State, Ying State, and others, no problems were found.

But it was precisely because all the discerning generals in the world knew about it and it was almost a universally acknowledged fact that Po Jun became more suspicious and felt that something was wrong.

The wolf king Chen Fubi sat on the majestic war horse and looked at the world.

His white hair rose slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a cruel arc.

He tightened the reins and turned calmly.

"Everyone, join the game!"

After this day, the news spread throughout the world, completely overturning the increasingly stalemate and intense situation in the Western Region.

Xiao Wuliang stopped the coalition forces from the Western Regions in Hongxia City.

No department is allowed to advance.

The Wolf King came in person, with boundless power, and made a covenant—

"I swear to the Eternal Heaven!"

The Wolf King was calm and composed, pointing his weapon at the sky. He said to the Western Regions coalition forces that were blocked by his army and were anxious but could not make any progress, and to the generals who were oppressed by the orders of the Khans of various tribes:
[Of all the generals, the one who can defeat the Dangxiang Kingdom first will be the king]

The situation is reversed.
