Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 954 Defending Xijin City

The three major dynasties have signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement. If the Zhou Dynasty sends troops to deal with neighboring countries, the other two dynasties will definitely not join forces.

However, if the Zhou Dynasty sends troops to deal with the Chinese Empire now, the two dynasties will definitely send troops to respond.

Therefore, whether it was the Western Han Dynasty or the Liyang Dynasty, they were all watching the movements of the Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, if the Chinese Empire stopped there after annexing the Yue Kingdom, the Western Han Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty would still be willing to negotiate peace with the Chinese Empire.

What they didn't expect was that Lu Hao didn't stop at all and directly ordered General Ding of Pulu Port to sink all the few warships in Da Zhou along the coastline.

Zhou Likun of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that Lu Hao was going to take action on the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was now at a loss and didn't know what to do?

Fortunately, at this time, the Prime Minister who visited the two countries came back.

"Your Majesty, good news! Good news! The Great Priest of Guangming from the Holy See will come in person to kill Emperor Yongtai!"

Prime Minister Yuan Minglang reported the good news.

It turned out that under the joint pressure of the three dynasties, Ni Guangming of the Guangming Sect finally agreed to take action.

He has been traveling in the Western Region for many years. Although he doesn't know how high Lu Hao's martial arts is, judging from the fact that he can compete with the great priest of injury adjudication, it is estimated that he is at least at the level of Xiaoyao Tian.

Therefore, he also brought three master-level experts with him this time. In addition to the Grand Priest of Judgment, there were also Fu Rengu, the director of the Inquisition, and You Hanshan, the leader of the Holy Knights.

The strength of these two people is at the level of Xiaoyao Tian, ​​at least not much worse than the great priest of Judgment.

"Really? That's great!"

Zhou Likun's hope rekindled.

Although the weapons of the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were very powerful, if a master-level master killed Lu Hao, they would be leaderless and would definitely not dare to attack the Zhou Dynasty again.

Ni Guangming was a god-like existence in the entire Western Region. In Zhou Likun's view, as long as Ni Guangming could take action, Lu Hao would be dead.

Although Lu Hao didn't know when Ni Guangming would arrive, he had already brought Dugu Sword Master and Tantai Wuyan with him and made complete preparations.

It wasn't until he arrived in Fuyang City that he received news from the Judgment Priest that Ni Guangming was coming.

Lu Hao was also very excited when he heard that another peerless master was coming.

In the palace in Fuyang City, Dong Xiaojun and his people were collecting gold, silver and jewelry from the palace and gathering them into the main hall in front.

It has to be said that the Yue State was richer than the Zheng State, and all the concubines, princes, grandsons, maids and eunuchs in the harem were also escorted out.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these people? Should we kill them all?"

Dong Xiaojun asked loudly.

"What? Kill them all?"

When Zheng Xinyue heard this, she was also startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, they are all weak women, why not let them go?"

"I'm not a murderer. Since you said it, let's let them all go. However, before we let them go, tell them not to think about restoring the country. If I find out, I will kill them without mercy!"

Lu Hao didn't worry too much.

"The last general takes orders!"

Dong Xiaojun responded.

"Your Majesty, last time you asked the ladies in the harem to take away their belongings. Can you leave some money for them this time?"

Zheng Xinyue begged.

I think back then, Lu Hao also left living expenses for the Zheng royal family in the Zheng royal palace, so the beauty helped them fight for it.

After all, the relationship between the two countries was very good before, and Zheng Xinyue knew several princes and princesses.

"You are right. Then give each of them 1 taels of silver, and the other eunuchs and maids 1000 taels of silver. Let them take away their personal clothes and gold and silver jewelry."

Lu Hao responded casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zheng Xinyue was overjoyed and quickly thanked her.

Lu Hao walked into the hall and immediately ordered a sand table map to be brought, placed the flags of the Imperial Army, and reviewed the battlefield situation.

After Wu Qingyu arrived here, he immediately contacted the local secret spies to collect some latest intelligence.

When the Xixia Dynasty learned that the Yue Kingdom had been destroyed, a ten-level tsunami set off throughout the court.

King Nalan Shengtian of Xixia also immediately held an emergency meeting like the other three countries.

"Your Majesty, something bad is happening!"

General Helian Chunsheng rushed into the hall in a hurry.

"what happened?"

Nalan Shengtian asked in a deep voice.

"The two armies of the Chinese Empire did not attack our border city at all. Instead, they went deep into the city alone and came towards our city of Xijin. When the 30-strong army deployed on the border heard the news, they immediately returned to help, but they were unexpectedly surprised. ambush……"

Helian Chunsheng responded quickly.

"What? Ambushed?"

Nalan Shengtian was completely confused.

"How could this happen? Didn't the truth tell them that they cannot leave the city no matter what?"

Prime Minister Yu Wensu asked angrily.

"The Chinese Empire's firearms are very powerful. We can only rely on strong city walls to stop the enemy. How can they get out of the city?"

Li Xiande, Minister of War, was also very angry.

"General, where are the two armies of the Chinese Empire now?"

Nalan Shengtian asked coldly.

"The first legion from the Chinese Empire, led by Xuanyuan Lingyu, came from Jindu City and was still 130 miles away from us, while the second legion from the other leg, led by General Liu Ruxu, came from Yingzhou City. It is already approaching less than a hundred miles away from our Xijin City!"

Helian Chunsheng reported loudly.

"What? They came so fast?"

Nalan Shengtian was shocked.

"Yes, they are all cavalry. They are very fast and highly mobile. Our army cannot stop them at all."

Helian Chunsheng explained with a grimace.

"Since we can't stop it, don't stop it. Let all the soldiers withdraw to Xijin City and defend Xijin City."

Nalan Shengtian said calmly.

He looked at the Prime Minister and said: "Prime Minister, please send someone to notify the Liyang Dynasty and ask them to send troops to support us. Otherwise, our Xixia will be destroyed, and their Liyang Dynasty will be next."

"Wei Chen understands and will do it immediately!"

Prime Minister Yu Wensu responded loudly.

"General Helian, withdraw the surrounding troops and set up the first line of defense in two solid cities outside Xijin City..."

"Master Li, Minister of the Ministry of War, mobilize all the war preparation materials around to Xijin City, mainly grain and grass, and ensure that it can be defended for at least three months."

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, settle the people well. If they choose to leave, do not stop them. After letting them leave the city, the pressure on our food and grass will be much less."

Nalan Shengtian calmly assigned the task.

It has to be said that this young-looking monarch is indeed a talented and strategic ruler. If he had not met a monster like Lu Hao, he would have gradually annexed the Jin and Shu kingdoms, and eventually became a king on par with the three great dynasties. A powerful dynasty.
