Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

"Brother Yuanzhou..."

Facing Ning Yuanzhou, Yang Ying's excitement was suddenly strangled as if it were strangled, and she was speechless for a while.

Among the royal family of Yang family, Yang Ying is the most unique member for Ning Yuanzhou, and the same is true for Yang Ying.

Ning Yuanzhou's biological mother was the female tutor who took care of Yang Ying in the cold palace. The two had a close relationship since childhood.

"Is it not possible for me to not go?" After pausing for a few moments, Yang Ying resisted weakly before she could completely suppress her emotions.

Her relatively low birth prevented her from becoming a strong figure like Queen Xiao Yan.

"After going through Tianxing Gorge, you should know that Wu Kingdom will not last long!"

"Being on a diplomatic mission was originally a bad thing, but now it has become an opportunity for you to change your fate!"

"Leaving the capital, we must go!"

Ning Yuanzhou had a firm attitude and a serious tone. He knew in his heart that if Nanli destroyed Wu, it would definitely raise some people to appease the people, just like An Guo did. Yang Ying was now in such a most advantageous position.

With his secret care, Yang Ying's life in the future will only be better than those high-ranking officials in Wu State today.

The bloody reality tells everyone that the destruction of one’s country and family is a catastrophe in which everyone is destined to be involved.

Will she become a helpless princess in distress after her country is destroyed, or will she be a useful hero to Dali?

Ning Yuanzhou has already chosen the path for her at this moment.

"I...I understand!" Yang Ying grew up in the deep palace and has always been ignorant about the outside world.

However, this experience also helped her to improve a little and she can discern some things.

Ning Yuanzhou's firm attitude and serious tone made her calm down completely.

The might of the sword at Tianxing Gorge left an indelible impression on her mind. Facing such an opponent, Wu State no longer had a future.

Although she couldn't understand why she had to go to Lidu due to her current experience, her trust in Ning Yuanzhou seemed innate.

In the courtyard of the diplomatic corps’ residence, Ning Yuanzhou and his four major fighting forces gathered.

"Tou'er Ning, do you really want to betray Dawu?" Qian Zhao, who had been silent after Tianxing Gorge, asked the questions that had been stuck in his heart.

Most of the time, he is taciturn, but in fact he is good at strategy, observant, upright and hates evil.

"This is the general trend of the world!"

"Nothing can stop it!"

Ning Yuanzhou looked at Qian Zhao without any evasive gaze. His dual identities as a member of the Tiandao clan and a captain of the Yulin Army meant that he was destined to be the most likely one to oppose among the four major fighting forces.

Therefore, as a core member of the delegation, he was the last person to know clearly about this matter.

Facing Qian Zhao, at this moment, Yuanlu and the other two suddenly became a little nervous.

"Too!"

"Wu country is rotten to the core!"

"Change it, maybe everyone in the world will be happy!"

The expected scene did not occur. Qian Zhao just smiled sarcastically and did not show any objection at all.

"Qian Zhao, you..." Yu Shisan was extremely surprised, and Ning Yuanzhou and the other three people beside him were also very surprised. Given his birth and position, he should not say such words.

"how?"

"Don't you recognize me?" Qian Zhao suddenly smiled, then his expression became depressed again and he blurted out:

"Chai Ming is my biological brother!"

"What?" Ning Yuanzhou and others were surprised when they heard the news.

Qian Zhao's disappointment with Wu State was formed step by step.

My half brother was adopted by my grandfather's family, so he has a different surname.

Chai Ming and other subordinates of Liudaotang fought desperately on the battlefield to protect Emperor Wu. They should have been martyrs, but when they arrived at the court, their situation changed and they were slandered as traitors.

Those in power have never cared about these loyal and brave people. Instead, they have become tools for them to exploit and fight for power.

In the delegation welcoming the emperor, the King of Danyang, the Queen, and the Prime Minister all had their own concerns.

Being in such a position, Qian Zhao had already seen many problems in the court and royal family of Wu State. His younger brother Chai Ming was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

For Qian Zhao today.

The hostile An State is gone, and it would be great if the foolish and corrupt Wu State could be destroyed by the newly born Nanli.

On Ning Yuanzhou's side, with the four major fighting forces under his command and the core figures united in will, there were fewer possible accidents on the delegation's journey to Lidu.

When they arrived at Xucheng, Jia Ling led his men away and returned to Zhao Xu, and the delegation continued to move forward.

Within the territory of Wu State.

The development of the war was beyond the expectations of all parties in the court. Whether it was the northwest front or the southeast front, the defeat was too quick!

It seemed like Nanli took no time to attack the city.

Yesterday we received a report that a city had fallen, and today we received news that the other side had captured another one.

Sha Xing and Li Tongguang work in perfect harmony.

Sha Xing led the powerful army of the time, which was invincible. They continued to attack, crossing states and counties, and approached Wudu.

Li Tongguang led an army of 30,000 troops following behind, recruiting surrenders and rebellions, suppressing rebellions in various places, promulgating policies, and stabilizing the rear.

as time flows.

Not only did the army catch up in training and integration, it also grew much stronger.

Southeast direction.

With lightning speed, he took over the following states.

Zhao Xu left Chu Ying, Duke of Chu, in charge and left a large army to guard the natural barrier of this place and confront the State of Chu.

Of course, guarding against the State of Chu was only one aspect, and pacifying the conquered territory was also the task assigned to him by Zhao Xu.

After taking Xiazhou and Lingzhou, Zhao Xu did not waste any time. He simply and roughly replaced the surrendered soldiers and officers, and then swept them together and continued to advance towards Wudu.

Thanks to the extensive infiltration into Wu State, the logistical pressure on Nanli's side during this battle was very small.

The joy of taking food from the enemy was fully demonstrated in this battle.

Wu State was already wealthy, with abundant material storage and war reserve reserves.

Although corruption was rampant among officials and many warehouses were empty, accurate intelligence allowed the Nanli army to travel light and have no shortage of supplies.

The tough bones are usually on the outside.

As we reached the interior, the closer we got to Wudu, the less resistance we encountered.

This battle was not only a victory for the intelligence infiltrator, but also a display of the martial arts master's ultimate role on the battlefield.

Not to mention the strong military performance at that time.

As far as Zhao Xu was concerned, the biggest purpose of siege was actually training troops.

The small city did not need to take action, as it could not stop the enemy for long. No matter how tenacious the big and strong cities were, they would still fall under his sword.

At the same time, his invincible prestige will slowly penetrate into the hearts of the soldiers with each sword strike.

The offensive was overwhelming.

Late April, early May.

When Zhao Xu's army arrived at Wudu, the last pass was the Jinsha River, which was a natural barrier formed by a river going up to the sky.

Wu State, which connects the two boundary rivers and sits on the lower reaches of the Jinsha River, owns the territory of the nine countries and has the most powerful navy.

The Jinsha River is densely packed with sailboats, ready for battle.

After passing this place, the road to Wudu is flat and there are no more obstacles.

The Wu Kingdom's court mobilized all of its naval forces for a final fight.

Thousands of ships stand in a row.

Even for Zhao Xu, who had seen a lot of big things, this was the first time he saw so many ships at one time.

"What a pity!" With a light sigh, Zhao Xu soared into the air under the awe-filled gazes of Shentu Chi and others.

With the Jinsha Gang, the overlord of water transportation in the south, it is naturally not a problem for the Nanli army to cross the river and transport ships.

However, with the Wu State navy blocking the way, these transport ships could hardly get close enough to function effectively, so Zhao Xu had to take action at this time.

"All archers, shoot quickly!"

As soon as Zhao Xu appeared on the river, he was immediately attacked by an overwhelming number of arrows.

Zhao Xu had an indifferent expression as he watched everything quietly. The next moment, arrows rained down on him like rain and fell into the river.

"Trebuckle!"

"thump……"

The accuracy of using a catapult on water is much lower than that on land.

Zhao Xu stood motionless on the water surface. Most of the stones deviated far away, and even those that could hit him were broken and separated in the air.

Faced with such an invincible opponent, the naval commander standing at the bow of the flagship gradually began to despair.

"I've seen all the methods!"

A moment passed.

Zhao Xu's voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.
