"Master!"
The door was gently pushed open. Xie Yi, dressed in a loose robe with his hair tied up in a bun, walked in with a folding fan in his hand.
"You came at the right time …"
Xie Xingshan turned around. "Brother Yi, you just came from Wu Zhen. Do you know the situation on both sides? Is Wu Zhen really pregnant? "
This matter was related to the family, the reproduction of future generations, and even a matter of life and death. Naturally, there was nothing that could not be discussed.
"Cough cough … this matter is absolutely true. I have already sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of the family!"
Xie Yi's expression was also very strange. "However … after Wu Zhen accepted the congratulatory gift, he immediately secretly made preparations. A few days ago, he sent troops to Sunan with irresistible force. Now, there is only a lone city left in Sunan County. His methods are fierce and his speed is simply like thunder!"
"It seems that Wu Zhen plans to take down Dingzhou before giving birth …"
Xie Xingshan murmured. "How should my family choose? It really makes me hesitate …"
"Master, I have another matter to report this time!"
Xie Yi said. "The Lin family not only sent their son Lin Xi to assist, but also placed a heavy bet this time. Before I came, Lin Xi had already entered the city to persuade the governor to surrender. There will be a result soon …"
"This is really … hard to predict …"
Xie Xingshan laughed bitterly and sighed. "Even though the Lin family is not a first-class family in the world, in Dingzhou, there is no one who doesn't know about it. Their style of writing is still flourishing. It seems that they have made up their mind to support Wu Zhen!"
"Then what is Big Brother going to choose?"
Xie Yi asked.
"This time … did you bring an offering and see Wu Zhen's fate?"
Xie Xingshan did not answer, but asked quietly. Their Xie family was not only a family of poetry and books, but also a family of Taoist techniques.
"Chi Yan, extraordinary brilliance!"
Xie Yi said softly after a moment of silence.
"Sure enough, it is not Feng Ge?"
"Indeed not!"
Xie Xingshan sighed. "My ancestor left a message that the descendants of the Xie family owe the twin phoenixes. They must live in Dingzhou and receive the protection of the earth's qi …"
"When the twin pearls fell, I had a feeling that it was the backlash …"
Xie Yi pursed his lips tightly.
These were all important matters related to the foundation of a clan. Even with his previous status, it was difficult for him to hear such things.
"I've already secretly ordered someone to check the fate of the Prefecture Overseer and Provincial Governor … Putting aside the Provincial Governor, most of his authority has already been taken over by Zhang Wenzhen. As for the Prefecture Overseer, Xu Chun, his vitality is weak and he's on the brink of death. I'm afraid his time isn't far!"
Xie Xingshan revealed another big secret.
As for the Sili Commandant? The authority of this position was above that of the imperial court. Now that the imperial court was no longer in order, there was no point in saying anything more.
"I didn't expect … the Clan Head actually intends to side with us?"
Xie Yi's eyes flickered.
Needless to say, this was something that really surprised him.
"At this time, the world is in chaos. People are fighting for power in the capital, refugees are rising everywhere, and military towns are standing in great numbers. Looking at the world, there is no power that can interfere with the situation in Dingzhou."
Xie Xingshan said softly, "My Xie Family's foundation is here after all!"
"This …"
Xie Yi was at a loss for words. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead as he recalled his ambiguous reply to Wu Zhen.
When the other party unified Dingzhou in the future, it would immediately be a great disaster for Jing.
"Then what should we do now?"
"The Xie Family has a large business. It is impossible to destroy the family to relieve the crisis. Let's wait!"
Xie Xingshan's eyes shone. "Wait a little longer. Even if Wu Zhen unifies Dingzhou, as long as the aristocratic families sincerely surrender, what can he do to us?"
The Xie Family had operated in Dingzhou for three hundred years. Their roots had spread far and wide. They were the leader of all the aristocratic families in Dingzhou and the vague leader of the alliance. This was where Xie Xingshan's confidence came from.
"Report!"
At this time, another person rushed in, holding a secret letter. "Rinan County is in urgent need of information. Lin Xi said that the Governor has surrendered. Rinan County will fall in three days. "
"So fast?"
Even Xie Xingshan couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
…
Year 6 of Ping 'an, 30th of May.
The Governor of Rinan County surrendered. Wu Zhi immediately promoted him and brought him to the front of the army to listen to orders. The other officials were kept in their original positions, so they were immediately appeased.
The army rested for several days. The soldiers were strong and the horses were strong. Immediately, they headed straight for Dingzhou.
"Dingzhou is the largest city in Dingzhou. Zhang Wenzhen is also a good general. The provincial soldiers are elites. Last time, they suffered a small setback, but their vitality was not damaged."
On the Luo River, a large ship was surrounded by other warships, flowing downstream. Wu Zhi and Wu Ming stood side by side at the bow of the ship, looking at the heavily guarded Dingzhou.
"Therefore, this time, I plan to surround Dingzhou but not attack!"
Wu Zhi's eyes shone. "I will keep watch here. Qi Lin, Wu Tiehu, Chen Jingzong, and the other generals will attack from all sides. We will flatten the last two counties, Zhuwu and Jiude!"
Hearing this, Wu Ming smiled slightly.
If even these last two counties were taken, Dingzhou would not be able to defend itself. If they chose to leave the city to fight, it would be exactly what Wu Zhi wanted.
The Nanfeng Army had been tempered and tempered. They were the new elite. There was no way they would lose to a defeated army.
This was an open and aboveboard plot. The province was weak and had lost their advantage, so they could only passively accept it.
With this order, the various armies and camps immediately set up camps outside Dingzhou. The strongholds were built sturdily and looked like they were going to defend the encirclement.
Zhang Wenzhen watched anxiously and led troops out of the city to launch a sneak attack a few times. However, they were defeated several times by the riders led by Qi Lin, Chen Jingzong, and Wu Tiehu. One time, they almost broke into the city. Finally, he didn't try to be brave anymore. He watched as the trenches and other defensive systems were built outside the city, surrounding the four gates of Dingzhou like a porcupine.
"Commander, Xie Yi and the head of the Xie family, Xie Xingshan, request an audience. They say that the Xie family is willing to work for the army!"
After waiting for a few days, the Xie family, who had been forced into a corner, finally made a choice.
"Perfect … I've long heard that the Xie family's landscape and gardens are impressive. Why don't we go and see?"
Wu Ming's eyes moved. "The Xie family has been noble for many generations. Their enjoyment must be top-notch. Ehuan, you can also go there to nurture your pregnancy!"
As for the original owner's opinion? Naturally, he didn't take it to heart.
It was only a temporary requisition, not a direct seizure. Of course, such a large manor as the Xie family had many secrets inside. There might even be secret passages. Wu Ming didn't plan to leave any hidden dangers. He had to move the entire Xie family out and then send elite soldiers to thoroughly inspect for a few days.
After they arrived, with him holding the fort, it would be absolutely safe.
"That's fine!"
Although Wu Zhi was a bit resistant, he looked at his lower abdomen and felt the growing life aura within. He still couldn't say "no."
After all, she had seen Dingzhou's defenses. Even she had to admit that Zhang Wenzhen was indeed a talent. His defense was watertight.
If they didn't want to lose soldiers, they could only adopt the strategy of a long-term siege.
If this dragged on, they might actually have to give birth in the army.
…
When the Provincial Governor wanted to "requisition," no matter how unwilling Xie Xingshan was, he could only reluctantly lead the entire clan to other courtyards and give up the ancestral manor.
Deep into the night, the stars dotted the sky.
Wu Ming stood on the tall building of the Xie family and looked to both sides. He saw the military aura rising into the sky. Each had a star fate and other powers protecting it. It was very extraordinary.
"Dingzhou's fate is showing signs of weakening. If this stalemate continues, we will lose first!"
Even if he was an earth immortal, he could only give pointers. In a battle of tens of thousands of people, it was hard to say how useful he could be. Furthermore, it was easy to be implicated in killing.
Of course, Wu Ming was not an ordinary earth immortal. If he really wanted to make a move, it wasn't impossible. However, the price was too high. He might even have to use the main divine temple. Why bother?
There was still Yu Wen in the city. He was also a Samsara traveler. He worked in the Provincial Governor's manor and had been secretly marked by Wu Ming. A lot of confidential military information had been unknowingly passed on by him.
…
The incident in Dingzhou meant that a military town that could unify a province was about to appear. Even though all sides were powerless at this time, the information still spread quickly.
Just as the news reached the capital and the court was in chaos, in the North Vanquishing King's manor.
Crown Prince Ji Fu paid no attention to what was happening outside. His eyes were fixed on the handwritten book in front of him. His expression was serious and solemn. He didn't dare to miss a word.
This was not some profound words, nor was it a secret manual. It was a current storytelling. On the title page, the words "Dazhou Western Regions" were very eye-catching.
Although he didn't know if he would transmigrate to the world of "Dazhou Western Regions" in the next world, it was always good to be prepared.
Even though there was only a one in a million chance, out of curiosity, Ji Fu ordered to immediately collect this book and read it carefully.
After reading the first few chapters, his only thought was to beat Zhu Si up.
This person was only a child beggar after all. It was impossible for him to understand everything. Previously, he used words to scare him and missed out a lot of information, even a few key points.
"Sigh …"
After a long time, Ji Fu covered the book and sighed. "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have made so many mistakes and had so many opportunities stolen. I almost died in the mission …"
"Crown Prince!"
At this moment, his guard Ah Da came in. "We've been watching Zhu Si day and night. It's not a big deal!"
"Also … regarding this" Dazhou Western Regions ", we're also investigating it. But the world has been in chaos for a long time. The mastermind is quite cunning. We can't find the source, so we can only target a few big states!"
"Continue, at all costs!"
Ji Fu gritted his teeth. "As for father, I'll talk to him personally!"
A book had actually evolved into a world. It was unusual no matter how one looked at it.
As the crown prince of the North Garrison King, he was familiar with the files and knew some secrets that ordinary people didn't know.
"Could it be a blessed grotto-heaven?"
"No! This is even more amazing than a blessed grotto-heaven … The secret of the main divine hall … "
His eyes were burning. Suddenly, a loud mechanical voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.
"Number C13, Reincarnated Traveler! Your mission will begin in a moment. Please get ready as soon as possible! "
"Damn it!"
Ji Fu's face was distorted. He quickly stood up. "I have to find a reason … I can't faint in public again. I'll just say that I'm going into seclusion …"
This Reincarnation mission came so suddenly that it didn't give him any time to prepare!
