Chapter 647: Taking Zhongzhou
Chapter 647: Taking Zhongzhou
The deep voice asked a simple question, and although his expression was not obvious, his words were full of concern.
Especially his focused gaze, her reflected in his dark pupils.
Such a look could easily make people indulge, and it also made her full of joy.
"My eyes are better now. By the way, my dear, have you had your meal?"
Looking at the not-so-obvious dark circles under his eyes, it was obvious that he had been so busy recently that he had not had much time to rest, otherwise he would not have returned to the tent so late. He probably didn't have a good meal either.
He said: “Not yet.”
Si He looked as if to expect it, and then quickly asked Gao Zi to serve the meal.
She actually didn't have dinner. She just ate some fruits to fill her stomach. She was waiting to have a meal with him, so the food was prepared.
During the meal, she kept picking up food for him and kept nagging him to eat on time in the future, with a serious look on her face.
Yue Fuli obediently said yes, with a slight smile on his lips.
When facing her, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows unconsciously softened their usually cold edges.
After dinner, Si He was about to let him take a bath and rest, but suddenly a guard came to report urgent military information, so he hurried away.
Seeing this, Si He quickly dressed up and got ready. After walking out of the tent, she saw Yue Fuli leading his troops to meet the enemy.
It turned out that the Wei family had sent troops to launch another surprise attack, which was obviously a fight to the death.
Zhongzhou has suffered repeated defeats recently and has lost most of its cities. If it continues like this, it is bound to be annexed, so it has to launch a desperate surprise attack.
Si He also rode a horse and followed the army to the front line of the battle. Unless there was an emergency, she would not take action.
There were a lot of soldiers and horses involved in this surprise attack. It seemed that they were trying to avoid a fight between evil spirits and to avoid being attacked by large-scale evil spirits like before, so they launched this surprise attack.
As long as the two armies were fighting, she naturally could not use her ghost flute as recklessly as before.
However, the Yue army has grown much stronger now, and even without her ghost flute, they can win this battle relatively easily.
Especially, when the generals used the successfully nurtured swords, their momentum was so strong that they could kill everyone in their way!
Si He could feel the strong murderous aura emanating from those precious swords from afar. She had to admit that these twelve precious swords were really good.
In the light of the fire, the precious sword flashed with cold light, and every chopped blow seemed to carry a sharp aura, as if the aura on the sword could hurt people.
The enemy soldiers facing this precious sword felt it most clearly, especially those closest to it. They could clearly sense a creepy murderous aura, which was different from the feeling brought to them by ordinary sword attacks. It seemed to affect people's minds and make people feel terrified.
Soon, several powerful generals of the enemy were killed by these swords.
Si He took a quick glance and then hurriedly looked for Yue Fuli.
At this moment, the waning moon seemed to be obscured by the smoke, and only torches remained in the sky to illuminate the night, casting a dim shadow on the battlefield.
Yue Fuli's figure flickered in the firelight. The long sword in his hand cut through the sky, bringing up streaks of cold light. Wherever the sword went, blood splattered. The surrounding enemy soldiers fell one after another, and his momentum was like a rainbow.
At this moment, he was like a killing god.
In recent years, he has experienced so many battles on the battlefield, and the murderous aura on his body is no weaker than that of a fierce general. He is like a young wolf king, fierce, ruthless, and decisive in killing.
Blood kept splattering on his face and body, and the bloody red color seemed to make him more murderous.
The night wind was howling, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
Si He sat on the horse, staring at his figure, but in the end she resisted the urge to go and help. Growth requires tempering, and this is a necessary process.
And in this situation, there is no need for her to take action.
She looked at his figure quietly, and after a while, the corners of her lips rose slightly.
In this battle, because of the close combat, no evil creatures were released. The fight was quite fierce, but it was basically a one-sided situation. The Wei family army that attacked by surprise was defeated without a single piece of armor left.
So the battle did not last long and was won. Yue Fuli only suffered some minor injuries and was not seriously injured.
But he simply bandaged the wound and led the Yue army to pursue the victory, intending to capture the nearest city in one fell swoop.
Now that they have won this battle, their morale is high, and with the Dark Guard Battalion and the ghost babies cooperating in the siege, it is not difficult.
There was also a plan to attack the city, but it was brought forward because of this war.
Si He followed the army and watched the siege.
Things went more smoothly than she expected. Although there was an exorcism formation set up in the city, Taoist Guye and his men easily broke it. Even if there were Taoists in the enemy army who controlled evil creatures, they could easily deal with them and did not need her help at all.
So, in the following days, she continued to travel with the army. Whenever there was a need, she would give her ghost xun to Taoist Guye and others for use. This was something Yue Fuli had suggested before, and those Taoists were also very interested. Unfortunately, there had never been a suitable opportunity.
After all, once the ghost flute is unsealed, its power is too great, making it unsuitable for attacking a city and likely to harm the people in the city.
Even if we attack the city, we have no intention of accepting a dead city, and the people are innocent.
Half a month later, Yue Fuli's army annexed all the cities in Zhongzhou.
During this period, the situation in the entire Great Yan Kingdom became turbulent.
Because the Yue Family Army is now so powerful, many forces have united to prevent the Yue Family Army from annexing them further.
Only then did Yue Fuli stop the conquest and first consolidate the resources of Zhongzhou and recruit soldiers.
Moreover, the expansion is too fast now, and the power in hand needs to be consolidated. After all, food needs to be eaten bite by bite. If you eat too much at once, you will die of bloating.
……
Guang'an City, the largest and most prosperous provincial capital in Zhongzhou, is also the hometown of Guo Jiaqu's mother.
The Guo family had suffered a series of disasters in the recent period, and most of their assets were sold off. They fell from being the richest family in Zhongzhou to an ordinary small businessman. Later, due to the war, they were almost wiped out.
Because of Si He, the Wei family in Zhongzhou originally planned to use the Guo family as a check and balance, but the threatening letter was useless in Yue Fuli's hands, and it was obvious that he would not care about their life or death.
Later, the Guo family spent a lot of money and gave away a lot of their belongings to save the lives of the whole family.
Therefore, the Wei family did not kill them all. Of course, the most important reason was that the Wei family also found out that Guo Jiaqu had a bad relationship with the Guo family, and they also needed the Guo family to sell their belongings to provide military supplies, so they temporarily spared the lives of the Guo family members. Who would have thought that the Yue family army's offensive was so fierce, and they took over the entire Zhongzhou at a speed like a rotten wood!
On the second day after Si He entered the city, someone from the Guo family came to ask for a meeting.
