Dynasty Call: Low-Key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 166 Chu Junxiong

Danzhao Prefecture, the prefecture adjacent to Danzhou and Zhaozhou, is also the last place guarded by the Danzhou Alliance. The rest of the prefectures have been captured by King Xuan, and only three counties are left in Danzhao Prefecture.

Dingshan Castle, this majestic and ancient city has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but is now filled with the remnants of battles. The sky over the city is filled with the smell of blood and anxious air.

The Danzhou Alliance, which originally had an army of 1.8 million, was defeated miserably under the fierce attack prepared by King Xuan within a month. Two of the six top forces were wiped out, and the remaining troops fled in all directions and were harvested by King Xuan's army.

At this moment, the remaining four major forces of the Danzhou Alliance and a group of small and medium-sized forces that followed the resistance were huddled in Dingshan City, with only less than 300,000 troops guarding them.

Outside Dingshan City, King Xuan's 600,000 troops were watching eagerly, approaching Dingshan City, planning to besiege the Danzhou Alliance step by step.

In the center of Dingshan City, there is a luxurious and grand mansion, in the central lobby. At this time, the leaders of the various forces in the Danzhou Alliance are sitting, sitting upright with serious faces.

Their situation at this time was critical, and King Xuan was constantly mobilizing troops from various governments.

The middle-aged man sitting at the top is quite majestic. His name is Yang Hong, the head of the top powerful Yang family. Danzhao Mansion originally belonged to the Yang family.

There are three other people on his left and right sides, who are the masters of the remaining three major forces.

Yunhai Pavilion, Cangyu Sect, Cheng Family!

But their territory of power had been taken away by King Xuan, so they had no choice but to flee here.

On the left and right sides below, a dozen or so leaders of small and medium-sized forces looked worried, their faces were full of sorrow, their eyes were flashing, and all kinds of thoughts were spinning rapidly in their hearts.

They felt extremely regretful in their hearts. They should not have joined the Danzhou Alliance in the first place.

The two top forces in Danzhou that first clamored to resist the Yu Dynasty have now been destroyed by King Xuan!

Moreover, it was destroyed with lightning speed, and other forces were too late to rescue him!

"I would like to ask you all, with the strength of our current alliance, can we still resist King Xuan?"

Yang Hong's expression was serious and his eyes were solemn. With one sentence, the atmosphere in the whole place suddenly solidified. Everyone's hearts seemed to be suddenly pressed down by a mountain, which was extremely heavy.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Yang Hong closely, because they knew that Yang Hong was more anxious than them now.

If your own territory is gone, where can you lose if you lose?

And Danzhao Mansion is the territory of the Yang family, can the Yang family give up easily?

Sure enough, Yang Hong saw everyone's expressions and continued:

"We can't resist King Xuan, but someone can defeat King Xuan!"

Um!

Everyone was shocked and thought of something.

Could it be...

Yang Hong looked around and chuckled:

"You are right, the Zhenguo Government has finally contacted us!"

"Seriously?" A leader of a small force stood up excitedly, his eyes bright and his face showing joy.

Everyone looked at Yang Hong with expressions of surprise. They had previously sent letters to the Zhenguo Mansion and even sent people to Zhaozhou, but Chu Junxiong of the Zhenguo Mansion had always ignored him.

Is he finally going to take action now?

"Of course, and the Zhenguo government is already preparing to send troops!"

Yang Hong's words were like flowers blooming in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and no longer serious.

"Great, we are saved!"

"The Zhenguo Mansion finally took action!"

"This is our chance to turn defeat into victory!"

"revenge!"

"We want revenge!"

Everyone was excited.

On the left side of Yang Hong, the gentle-faced Yunhai Pavilion Master glanced at the excited people below, and especially noticed that a few looked very happy on the surface, but their eyes were calm. When he raised his eyelids, he looked at the Cheng Family Master next to him. , nod slightly, you will understand.

It seems that these people should be the secret agents of Zhenguo Mansion.

At this time, the leader of Cangyu Sect stood up, with a smile on his serious face:

"No matter how much we talk, you still can't make up your mind. This time, General Chu has sent an envoy to reassure us."

As soon as Master Cangyu finished speaking, heavy footsteps sounded outside the lobby, and everyone followed the sound and looked over.

I saw a general wearing black ink scales and a tall body stepping into the lobby. As he arrived, everyone could feel the aura as thick as a mountain exuding from this man's body.

Resolute, courageous, calm and calm!

A convincing momentum!

When everyone saw his face, they were shocked and then overjoyed!

Ge Zhongtong!

One of the Eight Tiger Generals under the command of General Zhenguo!

"General Ge, please take a seat!"

Ge Zhongtong calmly walked to the seat on the right and sat down. He looked around, his eyes were sharp, his temples were bulging, the aura emanating from his body was deep and thick, his tone was calm but rough, and without any unnecessary words, he spoke directly:

"Everyone, everyone should be very clear about the situation in Danzhou now. The general is taking action this time to deal with Prince Xuan!"

"Great, let's just wait for a moment!" After hearing Ge Zhongtong's words, someone immediately said excitedly.

"With the help of the Zhenguo Mansion, we will definitely be able to defeat Prince Xuan!"

“We are full of admiration for the General!”

"The general is wise and powerful, we..."

"Prince Xuan will lose..."

The people below all flattered him, trying to give Ge Zhongtong a good impression.

Yang Hong smiled and said: "Haha, we are grateful for the help from the Zhenguo Government!"

Ge Zhongtong glanced at Yang Hong and the four people above him, and said in a calm tone:

"The general said that we will help you deal with Prince Xuan. We need half of the government in Danzhou, and in the future battles with the imperial court, you will advance and retreat with us."

The sound in the lobby is silent!

The excitement on everyone's faces froze instantly.

There is no problem in advancing and retreating together with the Zhenguo government, but if Danzhou wants half of it, doesn't that mean that his own territory will be reduced by half?

this……

Isn’t that a bit much?

Everyone below looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and looked at Yang Hong and the four above.

Leader Cangyu looked at the reluctant expressions of the people below and snorted coldly:

"snort!"

"What time is it now? If we don't have the help of the Zhenguo government, we will be wiped out by King Xuan sooner or later. By then we will have nothing. The general only wants half of Danzhou's territory, and he has done his best to our Danzhou alliance."

The leaders of all the forces looked at each other in confusion when they saw Leader Cangyu's tone of hatred. They knew the current situation, but there was always bargaining in the sale, right? Do you really plan to not bargain at all?

Seeing the expressions of everyone in the lobby, Ge Zhongtong smiled softly, calmly and calmly. His eyes moved past Master Cangyu and looked at the three Yang Hongs beside him.

Yang Hong, Master Cangyu, Master Yunhai Pavilion, and Master Cheng looked at each other and finally nodded silently.

The head of the Cheng family said: "We are grateful that the general can assist us. We, the Danzhou Alliance, are willing to give up half of our territory!"

When everyone saw that the four top forces agreed, they could only sigh in their hearts.

Just half of it, it's better than nothing at all.

Yang Hong was the most anxious, so he immediately asked:

"I wonder when the general will send troops to support?"

Everyone's eyes immediately changed and they all looked at Ge Zhongtong. This was the most urgent matter.

Ge Zhongtong saw Yang Hong's anxious expression and everyone's worried looks.

"Do you know that King Xuan has cooperated with King Yu, and King Yu has sent a large army to Qingzhou to help Qingzhou resist the Yanzhou Alliance."

"What?"

The leaders were startled and stood up in shock.

"To tell you the truth, King Xuan plans to attack our Zhenguo Mansion, but before attacking our Zhenguo Mansion, he will definitely deal with you first. If nothing happens, King Xuan will launch a general attack in three days at most!"

Ge Zhongtong glanced at everyone. He didn't need to say anything. He simply stated his purpose and the people in the Danzhou Alliance would naturally understand.

Sure enough, after listening to Ge Zhongtong's words, the leaders of these forces stood up one after another, with worried and nervous expressions on their faces.

But everyone did not speak, but looked at Yang Hong and the four people above. Since the Zhenguo Mansion has agreed to help, the Zhenguo Mansion will naturally not sit idly by.

Pavilion Master Yunhai asked in a deep voice, asking the question they wanted to ask the most.

"I wonder how the general can support us?"

"Now the general has secretly sent 300,000 black scale troops to the border of Zhaozhou. Can they support you at any time?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Ge Zhongtong with an extra layer of light. The Zhenguo Mansion Mo Lin Army was famous and had extremely strong combat effectiveness!

"So what do we need to do?"

A leader below said impatiently.

Ge Zhongtong's resolute face smiled slightly, "Fight and retreat at the same time, luring King Xuan's army into our encirclement!"

The head of the Cheng family frowned. Now that the alliance is guarding Dingshan City, even if King Xuan launches a general attack, he won't be able to capture it for a while. According to Ge Zhongtong's intention, let them abandon the city and flee, and use them as bait to lure King Xuan?

It's simple to say, but how can the Alliance army reach King Xuan's army without a city? They will suffer heavy losses!

"Why doesn't the general send all the Black Scale Legion to take action?"

A person below stood up and asked, obviously he also noticed this problem.

Ge Zhongtong came here to unite the Danzhou Alliance, so he naturally answered them one by one:

"Yufuluo is preparing to attack Zhaozhou from Qingzhou. The general has sent 500,000 black scale troops there, intending to defeat Yufuluo in one fell swoop!"

As soon as Humphrey's name came out, everyone's hearts sank.

A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!

None of the ten famous generals of the Dayu Dynasty are simple!

The 300,000 Golden Lion Legion faced the 500,000 Black Scale Legion.

It seems that the general really intends to get rid of Humphrey, who poses the most threat.

At this moment, Yang Hong looked serious and said in vain:

"General Ge, if it is true as the general said, the current situation in Danzhou is serious, of course we will fully cooperate with the general, but how can we trust you?"

Yang Hong glanced at everyone, continued to look at Ge Zhongtong, and said slightly apologetically:

"After all, our Danzhou Alliance can no longer afford to fail."

"That's right!"

"right!"

The leaders below nodded in agreement.

It's too dangerous to leave the city. If the alliance below is defeated, ordinary soldiers may be able to escape and surrender and survive, but high-level officials like them will definitely be targeted by King Xuan, and none of them will be able to escape.

"You will get the news tomorrow. Our eldest lady and second lady attacked Qingzhou and captured the five cities of Qingzhou!"

Ge Zhongtong knew they would ask this. He looked around, but his momentum was extremely strong, his eyes were shining, and his words were loud!

"What, Chu Junyan attacks Qingzhou?"

Everyone was shocked again. While shocked, their hearts finally calmed down. Both ladies took action. The Zhenguo Mansion must be serious.

Otherwise, Prince Xuan would be able to deal with them just by relying on the strength of the two eldest ladies.

"I agree to cooperate with the Zhenguo government." A leader immediately nodded in agreement.

"I agree too!" Another person soon stood up.

"agree!"

"support!"

As a few people took the lead, the leaders below expressed their agreement.

Then Ge Zhongtong and the leaders looked at the four people above.

"Agree!" Yang Hong showed a firm look in his eyes.

"Yes!" Leader Cangyu nodded heavily.

"Deal with Prince Xuan!" Master Cheng and Master Yunhai looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

"good!"

"You guys are waiting for news from the general!"

Ge Zhongtong looked very calm when he saw that the Danzhou Alliance agreed, because now they had no choice but to rely on the Zhenguo government, and they had to agree even if they disagreed.

Ge Zhongtong stood up directly, strode out of the lobby with a domineering momentum!

………………

In Zhaozhou, Zhenguo Mansion, on top of the pavilion, Chu Junxiong stood with his feet separated, his hands behind his back, and an extremely thick iron-blooded momentum enveloped the void.

Behind him, a young general not far away said cautiously:

"General Wen, there may not be internal support from King Xuan in the Danzhou Alliance. If we go to cooperate with them now, we will definitely be exposed!

Why don't we wait until King Xuan solves the Danzhou Alliance before we send troops to solve King Xuan? In this way, Danzhou belongs to us, so why give half to the Danzhou Alliance? "

When Chu Junxiong heard the young general's words, his eyes were indifferent. Next to him was a middle-aged Confucian general who looked like a scribe, with two mustaches hanging from his lips, giving people the impression of a humble gentleman and as gentle as jade. This young general was asking him.

"If we don't take the initiative to contact the Danzhou Alliance, King Xuan may never solve the Danzhou Alliance first?"

"If we don't solve it, wouldn't it be just right? We can solve Hufro first!" the young general asked softly.

"But the eldest young lady and the second young lady are in danger!" the Confucian general chuckled.

"Huh?" The young general's eyes narrowed. How could he forget this?

"Zhi'an, don't underestimate any of the children of the royal family. They are very capable and have many methods. Some things we see are just what they want to see. We must learn to analyze and judge. The purpose is not to solve the enemy, but to It’s about choosing a direction that’s good for us.”

The Confucian general looked at the young general fondly. This young general named Zhi'an was the orphan of a veteran general who had been with the Chu army for many years.

"Oh, then why don't we take action?

Can Uncle Ge and Uncle Hai stop King Xuan? "

The young general asked again, looking at Chu Junxiong not far away, his eyes filled with admiration.

Although the army of the Zhenguo Mansion was dispatched, the general stayed in the mansion and had no intention of dispatching.

Does the general think that Uncle Liang and Uncle Yan, who are both members of the Eight Tigers like Uncle Ge, can deal with Yu Fuluo?

The Confucian general chuckled and said:

"No rush, no rush, don't we still know how many forces in the Danzhou Alliance belong to Prince Xuan?"

"And now many forces are paying attention to us. Let's wait a little longer."

“After all, we still don’t know what the Yanzhou Alliance’s attitude is!”
