Chen Zisu said: "The reason why I proposed that Gao Han and Jiao Xin attack South Korea at the same time is to consider Dakang and try to reduce the losses to the lowest point.
On the other hand, it is also to let all the soldiers know that Dakang is not just Only Jiao Xin is good at using troops."
"If Jiao Xin attacks Handu first, Mr.
Chen's plans will all be in vain."
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy if Jiao Xin wants to attack Handu first."
"How to see" Chen Zisu said: "The Korean army has no fighting spirit.
I am afraid that once the war starts, they will flee.
Judging from the terrain of South Korea, there are many mountains in the south, and a flat plain in the north.
The two sides have not yet sent troops, and Gao Han has already occupied the advantageous location.
What's more, He has Gao Guangyuan’s unwavering support behind him, which is what people call If Jiao Xin wants to win, he will use some extraordinary methods.
With his style of doing things, it is very likely that he will use strong methods to suppress the Koreans and make them surrender, thereby speeding up the march.
If Jiao Xin becomes too competitive, it will only make his soldiers complain. " I sighed and said, "It seems like we are deliberately plotting against him."
Chen Zisu said: "Your Majesty, you must not think like this.
Jiao Xin's prestige in the army is at its peak now.
In addition, he commanded the garrison in Yannan and single-handedly destroyed the Jin Kingdom.
If he is allowed to make great contributions to destroying Han again, There's no guarantee he won't give birth Feeling of pride and complacency.
With the current situation in South Korea, anyone can easily destroy him.
Through this incident, we can take the opportunity to support Gao Han, which is our real goal.
Where the destination is.”
I whispered: "With Jiao Xin's shrewdness, he may not be able to see that I am wary of him."
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "If he was really smart, when His Majesty hesitated today, he should have taken the initiative to give up the attack on South Korea."
I nodded.
The reason why I insisted on killing Jin Wang Fang Xuanyuan today was to give Jiao Xin a hint.
Maybe he would understand what I meant.
Chen Zisu said meaningfully: "It is a good thing for young people to suffer some setbacks.
It is time for Jiao Xin's sharp edge to be thwarted."
"I'm just a little worried whether he will be chilled by what happened to us."
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "If he is loyal, he will never have such thoughts.
If he has other thoughts, some clues may be seen in this battle against South Korea.
I also hope that he can withstand this battle." test."
Qifeng, the king of Jingshan, did not lie.
As expected, Lian Yue was imprisoned in the dungeon of his house.
I had someone rescue Lian Yue and bring him to me.
I almost couldn't tell that the dying man in front of me was Lian Yue.
Lian Yue's originally fat and tall body has become so thin that only his skeleton is left.
Not seeing the sun for a long time has turned his skin into a pale and sickly color, and his hair has also turned gray.
His throat is choked but he can't speak.
It turned out that Qi Feng was afraid that he would tell others about Miao's treasure, so he poisoned him to silence him with medicine.
Both legs were also broken.
The whole person looked miserable.
I sighed, never expecting that this famous tomb robber would end up like this.
After Lianyue recognized me, he couldn't help crying and stretched out his hand to gesture to me.
I understood what he meant and asked Chen Zisu to get pen and paper.
Lian Yue wrote with tears in his eyes: "Master, Lian Yue has been waiting for you."
I nodded slowly and whispered: "Don't worry, I will help you pay back all the hardships you have suffered today."

Lian Yue wrote: "Leng Guxuan forced me to take her to find Miao's treasure.
This witch knew where to get the detailed map of Miao's treasure.
She confirmed that Miao's treasure was in Foye Mountain in South Korea.
I followed her.
She came to Qiqiao Peak of Foye Mountain and found the ruins of an ancient building in the valley.
After half a month of exploration, we found a passage among the ruins. " I watched Lian Yue's writing with all my concentration.
Lian Yue wrote: "As I walked into the passage, I discovered that this place was completely different from the tombs I had previously excavated.
Both the architectural layout and the location of the tombs were unprecedented, and the design of the mechanisms was unprecedented. , I was actually extremely excited.”
I understand why Lian Yue is excited.
Facing this novel tomb, he feels like a good warrior encountering peerless martial arts.
Even if Leng Guxuan doesn't let him dig, I'm afraid he will dig it.
Lian Yue wrote: "I deduced that this was probably the legendary Miao treasure.
After observing for a long time, I determined the location of the excavation.
However, after the excavation actually started, I discovered that the complexity of the mechanism here was far beyond my imagination.
It is impossible for me to enter the core of the tomb alone."
A look of pain appeared on Lian Yue's face: "Leng Guxuan found twenty Koreans for me to help me dig.
However, as the digging deepened, I found that her behavior became more and more weird.
She seemed to be in a hurry.
After finding the core of the tomb, we were not given any chance to breathe.
We were asked to dig day and night.
Those Koreans couldn't bear it at first. , two people wanted to escape, but were killed by Leng Guxuan in front of everyone.
Death did have a certain shocking effect on other people.
In order to survive, those Koreans had to continue the work at hand, but when they were digging in the middle Unfortunately, it happened again, and the collapsed soil buried six Koreans, and all our efforts for half a month were in vain."
I whispered: "Leng Guxuan will not give up easily."
Lian Yue nodded, and then wrote: "After re-calculating, I found that there were no mistakes in the direction of our excavation, and every time I dug, I Carefully designing the direction of the cave should prevent collapse.
However, after this incident, I had to choose another place to dig.
When we approached the core of the tomb again, something strange happened.
The Koreans under our command began to suffer from strange diseases one by one.
No one was willing to dig anymore, and they also lost the ability to dig.
In the end, except me and Leng Guxuan, , everyone else actually died."
Lian Yue closed his eyes in pain, obviously the memory caused him great pain.
After a long time.
Lian Yue just slowly calmed down and continued to write: "The two of us continued to dig downwards, and finally succeeded in approaching the core of the tomb.
After entering the underground palace.
I just discovered that after all our hard work, we dug into the burial pit. , that is, the side room of the tomb.
It seems that God is deliberately playing tricks on us.
The door of the side room is made of fine steel and is locked from the outside, making it impossible to pass through. " I suddenly thought of Leng Guxuan.
She went through all kinds of hardships to find Miao's treasure.
Just when she was about to succeed, everything came to nothing again.
How depressed she must be.
Lian Yue wrote: "Leng Guxuan was instantly devastated.
The whole person was so silent that it was scary.
I was worried that she would go crazy under such stimulation.
She would do something to my benefit.
I would quietly escape while she was prepared.

Unexpectedly, Leng Guxuan actually looked back at me and didn't chase me.
I didn't dare to stay in Miao's treasure anymore."
I nodded, knowing everything that happened next.
He patted Lian Yue's shoulder lightly and said, "You can rest assured and everything will get better after you recover."
Lianyue nodded excitedly.
Miao's Treasure has become as important to me as before.
The reason why I care about it is not because of the wealth and treasures in it, but because of Caixue, Youyou and Xuanying who are closely related to my life.
Miao's treasure has become my only possibility to find them.
I don't know if God will give me this opportunity.
I stood quietly in the night wind, staring at the bright moon in the sky.
The moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows, and when I approach the peak of power step by step.
But I feel more and more that the position of power and country in my heart is no longer as important as it was at the beginning.
The war against South Korea has finally begun.
This battle, which is destined to be one-sided, looks more like a slaughter to outsiders.
However, while Gao Han is making great progress in the north of South Korea, Jiao Xin is caught in an extremely difficult and fierce battle.
In the battle, compared with the generals in the north who fled one after another, the soldiers and people in the south of South Korea appeared to be much tougher.
They fought and fought against each other based on the complex terrain and Jiao Xin's army, which created a lot of trouble for us. .
During this period of time, I have been staying in the Jin capital.
I have personally handled many internal affairs to establish my position in the hearts of the people of Jin.
The military memorial on the table was still there intact.
I didn't look at it.
Gao Han's memorial was nothing more than a report on the success of his war.
The entire article was a report on the results of victory.
Chu'er came in with the midnight snack, put it in front of my desk, and said with a smile: "I thought you were really reviewing the memorial, but I didn't expect you to be hiding here and being lost in thought.
What are you thinking in your heart?"
I smiled and said, "What the Queen taught you, I will start reviewing it now."
I looked at the table and casually put Gao Han's memorial aside.
Chu'er asked curiously: "Why did you throw this military memorial aside without even looking at it?"
I smiled calmly and said: "Gao Han's memorials are always reports on battle results, so what's so special about it?"
Chu'er unfolded the memorial and after reading it, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
It seemed that I was right.
"In your opinion, who among Jiao Xin and Gao Han can capture Handu first?"
I sat back on the chair and said, "Gao Han's advance from the north was much smoother than Jiao Xin's.
He must have reached Handu City first."
I paused and then said: "However, Handu is the most defensive place in South Korea.
Gao Han may not be able to attack the city in a short time.
If Jiao Xin arrives at Handu before Gao Han breaks the city, then the final winner will be I'm afraid it's still Jiao Xin.
"I have a clear understanding of the two men's ability to lead troops.
Under the same conditions, Gao Han will definitely be Jiao Xin's opponent.
Chu'er said: "One is singing triumphantly, while the other is stuck in the mud.
It seems that Jiao Xin will suffer a small setback this time."
I was about to speak when I heard the guard outside the door announcing: "Your Majesty, Mr.
Chen is here."
"Invite him in quickly" Chen Zisu walked in with a solemn expression, holding an urgent document in his hand.
Without bothering to salute me, he whispered: "Jiao Xin has captured Weicheng."

I smiled and said, "This is a good thing.
Why is Mr.
Chen frowning?"
Chen Zisu smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't know that Jiao Xin has ordered the massacre of the city for three days, and the whole area of Weicheng has become a river of blood."
I was startled, and suddenly I stood up and said angrily: "How dare you, who gave him such courage to order the massacre of the city?"
Chen Zisu said: "This secret letter must be the explanation Jiao Xin wants to give you."
I reached out and took it, suppressed my anger and read it, then threw the secret letter to the ground: "What a good letter."
Chen Zisu said: "Your Majesty, it says that he wants to massacre the city to frighten the soldiers and people of South Korea so that they give up resistance."
I nodded, that was indeed what it said.
Chen Zisu said: "I once guessed that Jiao Xin would use some tough measures, but I didn't expect that he would be so extreme.
It seems that winning this war is of great significance to him."
I sighed and said, "The real purpose of Jiao Xin's massacre was not to intimidate the Korean people, he was testing my reaction."
Chu'er and Chen Zisu looked at me at the same time.
I thought for a moment and then said: "Mr.
Chen, please help me draft a congratulatory message immediately to praise Jiao Xin's achievements and promote his official position."
Chen Zisu whispered: "Your Majesty wants to encourage his arrogance."
I asked, "Do I have any reason to punish him?"
After Chen Zisu left, Chu'er couldn't help but ask: "Why do you still praise Jiao Xin for doing such a thing?"
I did not answer her question directly, but smiled calmly and said: "Looking at the generals in the whole dynasty, no one has the ability of Jiao Xin.
I will rely on him to attack Qi and Han for me."
Chu'er sighed: "I hope Jiao Xin's massacre of the city was just because of his competitiveness.
If he is really testing your reaction, I will definitely not stay here for a long time."
I gently touched Chu'er's back and said with a smile: "It's better not to think about such annoying things.
At least for now, there is no sign of Jiao Xin's rebellion.
Maybe I'm just worrying too much."
Chu'er nodded, frowning slightly and said: "It's a good thing to be prepared for a rainy day.
Mr.
Zhuge, Mr.
Chen, Xu Xiangguo and others all mentioned this matter to you one by one, which shows that this matter cannot be ignored.
Even if Jiao Xin is Jingwei You have to figure out a way to restrain yourself as soon as possible."
I walked slowly to the map in front of me, found the location of Weicheng, stretched out my fingers and clicked on it, and then found Foye Mountain to the south of Weicheng.
Jiao Xin's capture of Weicheng meant that Foye Mountain had been included in the In my Dakang territory, Miao's treasure has fallen into my control.
I said softly: "Lian Yue's injury should be almost recovered.
Tomorrow we will set off to visit Foye Mountain."
Chu'er smiled and said: "Do you really believe that there will be some Miao treasure in this world?"
I smiled calmly and said: "Miao's treasure has no special significance to me at all.
Regardless of whether it exists or not, it is now in Dakang's territory and has become part of my land.
Let it continue to be buried underground.
There is no difference to me from digging it out.”
"Then you still want to go," Chu'er said softly.
My eyes became confused and sad: "There is always a knot in my heart that is difficult to untie.
I am looking for Miao's treasure, not for some treasure, but for an answer."
"an answer" I turned to Chu'er and nodded heavily.
"Master, Lianyue is willing to ask you not to take risks."
After listening to my words, Lianyue hurriedly knelt down and begged in a hissing voice.

Under the careful treatment of the imperial doctor, his body has recovered.
Although it is not as strong as before, his actions and speech have returned to normal.
I believe that given time, he will be able to return to his former appearance.
I said slightly reproachfully: "Lian Yue, you have become almost unrecognizable to me."
I turned around and sat down on the chair.
Lian Yue was still prostrate on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Master clearly understands that it is not that Lian Yue is timid, but that the place is too mysterious.
Why should Master take risks himself?
If anything goes wrong, Lian Yue is afraid of death."
"It's his fault" I smiled and said: "I have made up my mind.
No matter who tries to persuade me, I will not change my decision.
Lian Yue, I have always known your temperament.
The more strange things happen to you, the more curious you are.
The bigger you are, even if I don't let you go, you will definitely try your best to uncover the true secret of Miao's treasure if you find the opportunity in the future."
Lian Yue laughed sheepishly when I told him the central issue.
I came to his presence.
He lifted him up with his own hands: "Now Foye Mountain is within my Da Kang territory.
As long as we arrange it properly, there should be no risks.
Aren't you willing to lead the way for me?"
Lian Yue said in fear: "Master must say this.
Lian Yue's life has long been his.
Let alone leading the way, even if Lian Yue died immediately, Lian Yue would not frown."
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words.
We will set off to Foye Mountain early tomorrow morning."
The next morning, Lianyue and I embarked on a journey to Foye Mountain.
In order to ensure that our trip was foolproof, we brought a total of 5,000 elite warriors with us.
These warriors were carefully selected by Tang Mei, Che Hao and others and personally trained.
Needless to say, they are highly skilled in martial arts, and each of them is equipped with powerful weapons.
Crossbow weapons are extremely lethal.
The reason why I brought so many warriors with me.
On the surface, I was on guard against encountering refugees and bandits on the way, but secretly I had another thought.
If I really encountered Caixue and the others at Miao's Treasure, I would snatch them back at all costs.
Our group arrived at the Crystal Valley at the northern foot of Qiqiao Peak in Foye Mountain.
It was not yet completely bright.
We were deep in the jungle and the large group of people continued to trek carefully in the dense forest.
According to Lian Yue, Miao Qi was the richest man in the world.
The location of the treasureless place is buried here.
It was still dark in the woods.
This situation can't help but give us some illusions.
We heard strange cries in our ears: or the terrifying roar of a tiger.
In an instant, the roar overwhelmed all the sounds in the forest and came towards us, testing our will.
It grates on our nerves.
I turned around and scanned the faces of my warriors one by one.
What I saw were faces full of perseverance and confidence.
A knowing smile appeared on my lips.
Lian Yue observed the surrounding environment and whispered to me: "Master, we are close to Death Valley."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I frowned, this name seemed a bit unlucky.
Lian Yue explained: "There are very few living things in Death Valley, and even birds don't fly here."
He ordered ten warriors to open the road ahead, and we followed them about thirty feet behind.
The mountain road was extremely narrow, and the road became more rugged as we went forward.
Many places had been cut off by flash floods, so we had to dismount collectively.
The horses were left on an empty hillside, and a hundred warriors were left to guard the horses.
After walking for about two miles, Lian Yue suddenly stretched out his hand to signal the entire team to stop.
He walked slowly forward and came to a large tree lying in the middle of the mountain road.
He bent down and observed it carefully for a moment, then turned to me and said: "Master, this is Soon after the tree was cut down."
I couldn't help but frown, so someone should touch this area.
I said coldly: "Get your weapons ready and pay attention to whether there are any enemies around you."
Before I finished speaking, an arrow shot towards my face with a whoosh of cold wind.
The two warriors in front of me reacted quickly.
They raised their spears into the air at the same time and blocked the arrow in mid-air.
At the same time, the warriors under his command aimed their crossbows in the direction of the incoming arrows, and the crossbow arrows shot towards the trees like locusts. ,when Suddenly there was a scream from deep in the woods, and a man was shot like a porcupine and fell from the branches of the big tree.
"Fight these Kangou!"
Angry roars suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests on both sides.
About a hundred refugees in ragged clothes rushed out of the woods.
It seemed that we had encountered fleeing Korean people.
I made a decisive gesture, and my warriors raised their weapons and faced them.
This battle of disparity in strength did not last long at all.
In the blink of an eye, all the hundreds of refugees were killed by the warriors.
I shook my head with some regret.
These difficulties were indeed overestimated.
If they chose to escape, I would never force them into a dead end.
Lian Yue whispered: "Maybe they escaped from Weicheng."
I fell silent.
These people had no escape route in their hearts.
When they saw us, they thought it was Jiao Xin who had sent troops to chase them, so they rushed out desperately.
I waved my hand distractedly and said, "Get out of this place as soon as possible."
After walking through this dense forest, my eyes suddenly opened up.
The valley ahead was a completely flat and wide land.
The soil was as red as flames.
Under the cover of the morning sun, the red color was slightly dim, and the ground looked more like it was stained with blood.
Lian Yue's eyes became excited and he whispered: "This is Death Valley."
I have an indescribable disgust with the colors in front of me.
There is no vegetation on the red soil, and no living beings can be seen in the field of vision.
Death Valley is indeed worthy of its name.
The team slowly moved forward into Death Valley, but after about a mile we could no longer see the road.
I looked at Lian Yue in confusion.
Lian Yue smiled and said: "Master, please take me a moment.
The road will appear in front of you soon."
The golden sunshine broke through the morning light and fell on this bright red land.
An incredible scene appeared in front of my eyes.
A straight and wide road appeared out of thin air in the middle of the red soil, extending to the north.

At the end of the road There are vaguely visible buildings.
Lian Yue said loudly: "In front of you is the entrance to Miao's treasure."
After experiencing what happened in Qingshu Mountain, no strange sight could shock me.
I shouted loudly: "Let's go", raised my whip and mounted my horse, and took the lead in rushing along the straight avenue towards the building in front.
Although we could see the outline of the building in the distance, it took us half an hour to really get close to it.
When we arrived at the entrance of Miao's Treasure, the sun had fully risen and the temperature on the ground had increased a lot.
I stared at the high wall not far away.
This high wall was about fifty feet tall.
It was covered with unknown vines.
The vines were as red as the soil.
I didn’t know what was hidden behind the high wall. secret.
Lianyue and I walked side by side at the front of the team.
The road under our feet was about ten feet wide and was entirely paved with large pieces of marble.
Because no one had visited it for a long time, it was covered with vines and moss.
There is only a crack about ten feet wide in the high wall.
This is the entrance to the mysterious tomb.
After passing through the crack and walking about half a mile further, a giant stone arch bridge appears in front of us.
The arch bridge spans like a rainbow.
In the air, I slowly arrived at the highest point of the arch bridge, only to find that there was a crack of about five feet in the middle of the arch bridge.
Looking down, a deep stream with rapid water flows at least three hundred feet below.
If you fall from above, you will definitely escape the fate of being shattered to pieces.
The warrior under his command took out the crossbow arrow, tied a rope to the tail of the arrow, aimed at the opposite city wall, and shot the tip of the crossbow arrow deeply into the wall.
They checked the rope vigorously to make sure it could bear the weight of the human body, and then the two pioneers took the lead in swinging over.
After the two successfully crossed the gap, they shot several more ropes over and used the ropes to temporarily form a bridge.
I laughed.
In the eyes of these warriors, I was a pampered king.
I couldn't help but feel competitive.
I wanted to show them my skills.
I did not choose to walk on the rope bridge they built.
I grabbed the long rope, took a few steps back, and then quickly rushed forward.
My body rose into the air about a foot away from the crack.
When I reached the highest point, I boldly let go of my hands and jumped in the air. , accurately landed on the bridge on the opposite side.
Cheers and applause sounded behind me.
I nodded proudly and turned to look at my warriors: "Why don't you jump over here quickly?"
Encouraged by me, the group of warriors showed off their special skills and used their best skills to cross the gap and reach the other side of the bridge.
After a short period of repair, we walked along the slippery road towards the city gate.
The wooden structure of the city gate has long since rotted, which is enough to show that the history here is quite long.
The writing on the city gate was blurred, and I finally made out with great difficulty the three characters "Wuji City" engraved on it
.
