But no matter how much Sikong Han thought about it, as soon as noon came, the little monarch really went out of the palace to follow the northwest army to camp.
In front of such a golden opportunity, Sikong Han didn't want to think too much at all, any second of thinking would be a waste!
At the time of the expedition, the people of Zhuolu City lined the road to see each other off. Looking at the young man in black and strong clothes in front of the team, the whole city knelt down and shouted that the king will surely return victorious, but under the drooping heads were excited thieves. happiness.
There is no outsider in the world who can understand the joy that the people of Zhuolu City felt when they saw the tyrant leave.
Nie Jia walked ahead on horseback, surrounded by Xuanjia Twenty-one, let alone an assassin, even a fly could hardly get close to him.
Then came the generals of the Northwest Army and the Nanyi Cavalry, marching against the scorching sun.
Nie Jia was riding on horseback, slightly squinting his eyes and looking up like a scorching sun. This sweltering weather is really perfect for spreading the plague.
"Would you like to take a rest in the carriage?" Shi Chen threw the reins of his horse to Xuan Jia next to him, and then flipped onto Nie Jia's horse to cover him with a fan.
Nie Jia was not too hot, leaned back into his arms, closed his eyes and answered irrelevantly, "There is a plague in Danyang County right now. Although it hasn't spread, it will be almost there when we arrive."
Danyang County is the reason why Sikong Han and General Yunhui came back with great victory. They captured Danyang County, a small border town of Qi State. After the Great General of Zhenbei, Qi State was as fierce as a cloud, but he never cut a gap in the northwest line. However, even though Sikong Han defended the northwest and was never invaded by Qi State, he did not beat Qi State. The two sides competed for several years, so it was rare to attack. Going down to Danyang County of Qi State, this small victory turned into a big victory.
In fact, this is just a conspiracy by the prince of Qi.
Before Sikong Han captured Danyang County, there were already a few people who died of the epidemic in Danyang County. The military doctor was helpless against the epidemic and predicted a serious disaster, so he advised the prince of Qi to withdraw his troops and return to Lutai to isolate Danyang County. Unexpectedly, the prince of Qi State directly gave up the people of a city in Danyang County, pretending to be defeated and fled, and introduced the soldiers of Yan State into Danyang County.
In the original world, the plague severely damaged the country of Yan. The soldiers and people were killed and injured, and the city was almost destroyed. At the most critical moment, Jun Changyue developed a cure for the plague, and quickly controlled the spread of the disease. The surviving soldiers and civilians survived Jun Zhangyue's treatment one after another. After recovering, they almost regarded Jun Changyue as a god.
At this time, the plague was spreading quietly in Danyang County. The soldiers fell one by one. The military doctor still couldn't detect it. He just thought that the soldiers were not afraid of the heat. Soon the plague would spread into the northwest as the soldiers came and went. In Triumph City, almost half of the city was slaughtered.
Nie Jia always believed what Shi Chen said, and never asked too much. He frowned and said after hearing him sigh like this: "After Danyang County was captured, Song Yuwei stationed a lot of troops there."
"Everyone who should be killed must be killed, otherwise more people will die." Nie Jia said.
He discussed with Shi Chen all the way, shared a horse in front of the army, and even rested in the same carriage at night. I don't know who said that the king's female Fuxuanjia was able to protect the throne under the leadership. This is unsightly. Rumors quickly spread among the soldiers. The Northwest Army had been dissatisfied with the hatred of the king for a long time, and after hearing such words, there was a trace of contempt in the hatred.
Nie Jia was aware of the situation in Danyang County, let alone under his nose, but instead of taking any measures, he got up with Shi Chen even more openly. The hearts of all the Northwest Army were cast aside, but no one dared to speak out.
The person who was really contemptuous was Nie Jia.
A few days later, the army camped and rested at night when it was close to Triumph City. That night, the Nanyi iron cavalry and the Northwest Army clashed somehow, and beat up dozens of Northwest Army guarding the camp. No arms or legs were broken. , with a bruised nose, a swollen face, and a dislocated jaw, with his mouth open and drooling, howling in pain. No one knew how to press it, and the accompanying military doctor was only Jun Changyue, so he could only wrong His Royal Highness King Jing to help the Northwest Army with medical consultations one by one under the sun.
And the iron cavalry who hit people were just reprimanded "severely", and it was over.
After that, at least among the 10,000 Northwest Army, the gossip about the king was completely silent and no one dared to mention it.
Shi Chen guarded the sleeping Nie Jia with his knife in his hand, and the hostility in his heart dissipated quite a bit.
When they arrived in Triumph City, Northwest Wang Ji Zhengyu led an army to meet him. Kneeling behind Ji Zhengyu, all the generals in Triumph City felt a tremor in their hearts when they saw the young man riding his horse from afar. In the wind and sand, the black-clothed young man's eyes were like knives, and his black hair fluttered in the wind, flowing like a A gentleman swordsman in the rivers and lakes, but the majesty in that aura is undoubtedly an emperor.
The lord of the Yan Kingdom, Changsheng, was tyrannical and innocent, his legs were disabled, and his body was weak. How could there be such a majestic and transcendent kamikaze in front of him
"Where is Ji Zhengyu!" The young emperor reined in the reins, and the horse hissed and stopped in front of the generals who were kneeling to receive them.
"Chen Ji Zhengyu, pay homage to Your Majesty!" The Northwest King hurriedly responded, "I have prepared meals and hot water for Your Majesty, please deign to rest in this humble house to relieve the fatigue of the long journey."
The horseshoes of the war horse kept pacing back and forth in front of the crowd. Nie Jia's face was full of sullenness. He got off the horse and asked angrily, "How is the epidemic situation in Danyang County at this time? What can be done to control it?"
Ji Zhengyu choked and couldn't answer a word. He didn't even know what kind of disease spread in Danyang County.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the lack of water in Danyang County has caused the soldiers and the people to be impatient with the heat, and they have fallen ill a lot. They have been transporting clean water from Triumph City to Danyang County for the past few days, but there has been no obvious improvement." Ji Zhengyu was speechless. It was a warlord who replied, after a pause, he asked again: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Jing came with the King?"
Nie Jia didn't even look at him, and directly slapped Ji Zhengyu's face with a horsewhip, and scolded: "What do you do, the Northwest King, you don't know anything about such important matters!"
This whip directly slapped Ji Zhengyu's face, and then the burning pain made Ji Zhengyu cry out in pain, and also surprised and annoyed the leading generals in the Northwest. The little monarch didn't even enter Triumph City, so he whipped the Northwest King indiscriminately. Did he come to provoke!
There is no monarch in the northwest, only Sikong Han, the generals who have long ignored the little monarch, after this whip, some people even secretly touched the saber around their waists.
However, without waiting for anyone to do anything, Xuanjia Twenty-one standing behind the little monarch suddenly drew his knife, and the bloody aura instantly permeated the entire city of Triumph, making the hearts of those who touched the knife jump.
Sikong Han and Jun Zhangyue, who were still far behind, couldn't hear the conversation in front of them at all. They only saw the little king whipping Ji Zhengyu, and then Xuanjia Twenty-one drew his sword. The conflict was imminent!
General Yun Hui was terribly frightened, and hurried forward.
Sikong Han kept sneering in his heart, he thought he was in the palace when he got to the northwest? Being so arrogant, he probably never thought about going back to Zhuolu.
"Is there anyone in Triumph City who has the same fever and illness as Danyang County?" Nie Jia whipped his palms with a horsewhip, looking menacingly at the warlord who had just replied.
"Returning to Your Majesty, some soldiers who delivered water to and from Danyang County are indeed sick." The warlord said with cold sweat against the cold light of the Xuanjia's blades.
Nie Jia frowned, and immediately ordered without any delay: "Lockdown Danyang County, and kill all people with symptoms on the spot, regardless of their status or age, including those in Triumph City. The corpses will be piled up outside the city and burned. mistaken!"
As soon as the words fell, General Yun Hui, who had just caught up, was stunned, and the generals who were kneeling on the ground to receive him were also stunned, and then there was a monstrous fire in their eyes!
However, under the suppression of Xuanjia's blade, everyone was indignant for a moment, but they really didn't dare to say anything in front of the cruel little monarch. They hadn't forgotten that the god of war, Sikong Han, was sent to him with his limbs broken by one of these people. Go to the guillotine!
Hate and fear.
"Hurry up and do things according to the king's orders!" At this time, General Yunhui stepped forward and shouted an order.
Ji Zhengyu, the king of the Northwest, is a mascot. He has a reputation. The power of the vassal king has long been emptied by Sikong Han. Once Sikong Han and the vanguard general Qi Feng died, General Yunhui had the most say in the Northwest. For him is the left forward Du Yuxian.
At this time, General Yunhui gave the order, and the generals had no choice but to obey no matter how angry they were. They got up and went back to the city to order their subordinates to count the sick soldiers in Triumph City.
When the two armies entered the city, the king came to the city of Triumph in person, and the army in the northwest was overjoyed that His Royal Highness King Jing returned to the city. It was spread throughout the army that the left vanguard had returned. No one regarded the fact that the king came to the city of triumph in person as anything worth mentioning. Soon, the news that the sick soldiers in the city were taken away and that Danyang County was also blocked spread like wildfire in the Northwest Army.
I heard that the king is going to kill the sick soldiers in the city
Who is the king? Why come to the Northwest to kill people!
For a while, the crowd was excited and the sergeant was dissatisfied.
But at this time Nie Jia and Shi Chen had already rushed to Danyang County on horseback, and he wanted to see how damaged the troops were.
Under the supervision of General Yunhui, all the sick soldiers in Triumph City gathered together quickly, but the generals did not obey the king's order to kill the plague-infected soldiers on the spot, but invited His Royal Highness King Jing.
Jun Zhangyue frowned and checked the veins of the three people, then exited the concentration camp with a pale face and ordered to General Yunhui: "It's a plague! You can't let these people stay in the city, didn't Brother Wang order you to kill them on the spot? What are you waiting for!"
