Wu Yue's lobbying work in several towns went relatively smoothly. Within a month, several nobles used their influence to successively make Bianya, Chunliu, Qianpu and other places to submit to the state of Suo. However, when contacting Jiuwang, he was sternly rejected.

At the beginning, the defender of the Central Capital, Di Ke, was defeated, so he led his troops into Jiuwang and merged with the army of Jiuwang's headquarters. After that, they kept watching the movements of the Qing army, thinking that the spread of the plague would cause chaos in the Central Capital. The epidemic was solved under Wu Yue's handling, and the army of Sang gained the respect of all the people in the central capital, which made Di Ke's raid plan a mere fantasy. However, as a loyal general of Youguo, he would never surrender to Souguo.

Jiuwang had no hope of a peaceful merger, and Wu Yue and others began to prepare military forces for a fierce battle.

Murphy suddenly woke up from his sleep. Looking around, he was indeed in the room, but the nightmare just now seemed real. Although he recalled it now, he couldn't remember what dream he had, but his mind was always filled with despair. The wailing, the kind of fear and pain that shocked her.

She had an ominous premonition once again. In the past, she might have only regarded this as a nightmare, but after experiencing the magic of the jade talisman many times, she was sure that this was definitely a warning.

But what is it?

Murphy rubbed his forehead while putting on his clothes and got out of bed. He came to the desk and lit the oil lamp. The sky outside the window was only slightly bluish white, indicating that the genius was just beginning to shine at this time.

At present, the situation in Zhongdu is good, but the weather has been gloomy recently. Soldiers of the state have been helping the people of Zhongdu to harvest food these days, hoping to finish the harvest before the rain. At the same time, the people who were poisoned were slowly recovering under the care of the soldiers, and the reputation of the army in Zhongdu became stronger. Murphy would never believe that there would be civil unrest.

If it is not internal, then it is an external enemy?

In a few days, Wu Yue will lead his troops to attack Jiuwang, while Yu Ya has already sent troops to the southwest to clean up the remnants of You Kingdom there. The latter is not a big problem, so the real danger is Jiuwang who is about to attack?

Thinking of this, Murphy took out the map and spread it out under the light. Jiuwang is located in a plain, with an area nearly one-third smaller than that of Zhongdu. There is no natural danger, and only a clean river passes through the city. The current garrison plus Di Ke's army is about 50,000 people. The strength of the reinforcements should still not be enough to resist Wu Yue's army.

After thinking about it, Murphy never felt that Wu Yue's siege plan was dangerous.

Could it be that Xi Su intervened again and came up with some vicious plan?

This is not impossible. He is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals. He miscalculated the strategy of Zhongdu this time, and made a wedding dress for Huanhan's plan, so he will not give up easily.

Murphy closed his eyes and tried to recall the scene in the dream just now, but he couldn't remember it anyway. After a while, she had no choice but to give up. It seems that she, who didn't need to go together this time, has to take the initiative to ask Ying again.

"What? Do you want to participate in the actions of the future?" Wu Yue felt a little strange, didn't Fu Tu always want to stay away from the killing field?

Murphy nodded: "I hope the lord will agree."

"Why?"

Murphy thought for a while and said, "Fu Tu wants to learn more about leading the army with the lord."

"Heh." Wu Yue laughed, "Could it be that Fu Tu also has the ambition to be a general? In the future, do you want to be a wise general like a fish?"

"My lord is joking, Futu can't be a general, he just wants to be familiar with military affairs so that he can study the strategy of military reform."

"Military reform?"

"My lord, please don't think that Fu Tu is beyond his own power." Fu Tu saluted, "Fu Tu hopes to write a general introduction to the military art of war in the future, including the good and evil of generals, the truth and truth of soldiers, and the way of deploying troops. The careful changes, the ingeniousness of the equipment, the essentials of the terrain, etc., these are naturally not for Futu alone, in addition to gathering the experience of the generals and military strategists, personal experience is also essential. Therefore, Futu asks the master to wait For Futu to participate in this war, although Jiuwang is not as good as the Central Capital, it is also an important place in You Kingdom, and I believe it will not be easy to conquer this place.”

Wu Yue was once again shocked by the idea of ​​Futu. Before that, there had never been a complete theory of the art of war. If this book of Futu could be completed, it would be a military treasure.

The reason for Futu was so splendid, Wu Yue really couldn't think of a reason to refuse. At the same time, he also began to look forward to the day when Futu was written into a book. The temptation of an unprecedented military book to military generals and advisors was obviously huge.

However, the original action was delayed by the sudden heavy rain. The heavy rain continued for four days before it stopped. Wu Yue waited for the weather to clear for a few days before leading 90,000 horses towards Jiuwang, and Mo Fei naturally accompanied him.

It's just strange that she did not receive any warnings along the way, and she couldn't help but doubt her own judgment. Could it be that the warning was not this military operation?

With this doubt, Murphy followed the large army into Jiuwang's territory, and settled down at a place less than half a mile away from the city.

Murphy stood in the camp and looked around. As depicted on the map, this was a plain area, with a wide field of vision and no danger. If he could lead the defenders out, with the power of Wuyue cavalry, Di Ke would definitely not be an opponent. Of course, the other party must also understand this fact, and will inevitably fail to defend. The So army would probably first besiege and harass them, and then cut off their food supply, forcing them to fight decisively.

After resting for two days, Wu Yue sent someone to cut off his food supply, and then tried to attack a few times to observe the opponent's defense and combat strength.

After several trials, Wu Yue felt a little strange, why didn't Jiuwang look like there were 50,000 defenders? When defending the city, it was difficult to dispatch troops, and there was a panic that was exhausted. Is it showing the enemy to be weak?

Ouhan pondered for a while, then said, "If there is a fraud, there must be a fraud."

"What do you think of Ouhan?"

"At present, there are several possibilities. First, Jiuwang is indeed empty of troops, and Di Ke has transferred the large troops to other cities. This place is just a bait used to hold back our army. Second, the You Army is setting up a suspicious formation and trying to lure me. The army invaded the city, and they arranged a huge trap in the city. Third, Di Ke's main force is hiding outside, ready to attack our army. Which kind of speculation does the lord think is more likely?"

Wu Yue pondered: "Di Ke's plan to make a sneak attack is not easy, this king thinks the third type is the most unlikely. As for the second type, what kind of traps will there be in the city to kill our army? Although the street fighting in the city limits the strength of the cavalry , but the combat effectiveness of this king's infantry is also extraordinary, unless the disparity of troops is too great, it is absolutely impossible to trap our army to death. In this way, the first guess is the most likely at present."

Ouhan said: "According to the report from the spies, Jiuwang has indeed moved a few troops recently. It is not known whether Di Ke led troops out of the city, but it is estimated that there are indeed less than 50,000 defenders in the city."

Wu Yue squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he decisively ordered: "We must attack Jiuwang tomorrow!"

Murphy listened silently on the side, agreeing with Ouhan's speculation in his heart, but his temples began to ache, and the sense of crisis appeared again.

She hesitated, but for a long while she didn't think of a reason to stop Wu Yue from attacking the city. After hesitating for a while, he said in his heart: The warning is not yet obvious, and will look at it tomorrow. Murphy didn't believe that any tactics could instantly kill Wu Yue's ar.

However, Wu Yue's siege plan on the second day did not come to fruition, because his camp was attacked that night. Although the damage was not serious, it made Wu Yue and Huan Han have a lot of doubts. Where did the You Army come to attack? They were here to die. With less than a thousand men and horses, they were wiped out by the Soo army in the outer camp without even getting close to the big tent, and there was no survivor. It was not that the Soo army did not want to stay, but that all the captured enemy soldiers committed suicide forget.

Such ruthlessness caused Wu Yue to suspend the storming attack on the second day, but to wait and see again. He and Huan Han kept researching what the conspiracy of the You Army was.

"Are they procrastinating?" The self-proclaimed smart Ouhan couldn't help but be confused.

"If Dike gave up Jiuwang, why would he send dead soldiers to delay time? Isn't this a meaningless sacrifice?" Wu Yue looked puzzled.

Ouhan fell into a confused state again, and said after a while: "They must be delaying time, because their trap needs time to prepare."

"What kind of trap?"

"I don't know." Ouhan said firmly, "But Ouhan is sure that we must capture Jiuwang as soon as possible, and we can't give them any extra time."

Wu Yue nodded and said coldly, "We will conquer it tomorrow, but this king wants to see what traps they have prepared for the king."

When the actual siege of the city was already on the third day of the original plan, Wu Yue sent troops to start a strong attack, using the climbing stairs to rush to the city tower without fear of death.

Murphy and Huohan watched from a distance from the rear, and they found that the opponent's resistance was not strong, and the defenders on the city wall seemed to be less than a few thousand.

Ouhan frowned slightly and murmured, "What conspiracy is hiding behind You Jun? Why do you have an ominous premonition?"

Murphy stood silently on the side, even Ouhan had a bad premonition, and she became more and more uneasy.

But within two hours, Jiuwang's city gate was successfully breached, and the defenders in the city were in chaos, and were soon wiped out by Wu Yue's army. The people in the city closed their doors one after another. After the enemy soldiers were cleaned up, there was a strange silence in the city.

Wu Yue rode on horseback on the streets, and there seemed to be no abnormality wherever he went. Just now, he sent a large number of scouts to walk through the city, but he did not find any remaining enemy soldiers who were resisting. The city guard of Jiuwang was also quickly captured. He was too frightened to speak, and after a long time of torture, he found out that Di Ke's army had only been in the city for half a month and then disappeared.

Ouhan suddenly asked: "A few days ago, you sent the dead to attack our camp?"

"Dead soldiers?" Cheng Shou said blankly, "How dare I send any dead soldiers to attack King Rong Zhen? When Di Ke left, he told me that as long as he couldn't hold on, he would have a way to resolve the crisis for me. Who would have thought that he took away my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the enemy did not appear when they were on the scene."

Wu Yue and Wan Han looked at each other, and a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time: Is Jiu Wang Cheng Shou just Di Ke's victim? The intention is to deceive his men?

However, why send dead soldiers to attack?

This is completely superfluous, isn't it? There are no traps in the city, what is his purpose of delaying time?

Mo Fei didn't know the doubts of Wu Yue and others. She walked to the door and found that it was raining outside. Looking at the hazy sky and the continuous autumn rain, she felt very uncomfortable. From the moment she entered this city, she had a kind of As if to suffocate, now seeing this rain is even more unspeakable. Occasionally, a few people from Jiuwang passed by in a hurry on the street, Murphy's mind was slowly dazed, and there seemed to be screams one after another in his ears.

"Ah!" Murphy suddenly crouched down, clutching his forehead.

Wu Yue, who was talking with Ouhan, was immediately startled, rushed over to support Murphy, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Murphy couldn't speak, and couldn't hear Wu Yue's eager voice. It seemed that there was darkness in front of him, and only the mourning of many people remained in his mind.

What kind of terrifying sound is that, putting it into a monster that wants to devour people...

Wu Yue lifted Murphy's face up and saw that his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he looked like he was dying of pain. His heart shrank suddenly, and he hugged him without even thinking about it, and while walking into the room, he told Ouhan to send someone to find a doctor quickly.

"Fu Tu, Fu Tu, what's the matter with you? Wake up! Tell me what's wrong with this king?" Wu Yue sat on the bed with Murphy in his arms and kept talking in his ear.

"Lord... Lord." Mo Fei murmured.

Wu Yue was pleasantly surprised and said, "How are you? Don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."

"Doctor?" Murphy's consciousness suddenly became much clearer, she shook her head, "I'm fine, I don't need a doctor."

"You're still alright?" Wu Yue was displeased and raised his jaw, "See how ugly your face is?"

Mo Fei felt that this kind of intimacy was a little inappropriate, and slightly left Wu Yue's embrace, and said softly, "It's just a sudden heart palpitation, it's not a big problem."

Wu Yue disbelieved: "This king has never seen you in such pain."

Mo Fei remembered the feeling full of fear just now, she pulled Wu Yue's sleeve and said, "Lord, let's leave this city quickly!"

"Why?" Wu Yue was puzzled.

"Fu Tu doesn't know how to explain it." Murphy said firmly, "Please believe in Fu Tu, Lord, and leave here as soon as possible, not only our army has to leave, but also the people of Jiuwang must leave!"

Wu Yue was even more puzzled. After hesitating for a while, he said, "There are at least two hundred thousand people in Jiuwang. How can this king let them leave?"

Murphy didn't know what would happen, but she was sure that if she continued to stay here, it would inevitably cause great casualties, and she could not forget the mourning of the millions of people no matter what.

After a long silence, Mo Fei suddenly bowed to Wu Yue and asked cautiously, "Please, Lord, trust Futu and quickly bring the people of Jiuwang away from Jiuwang. No matter what the reason is, just leave this place."

Wu Yue frowned, and without waiting for him to answer, Ou Han just brought the doctor in, and when he saw Fu Tu making this great gift, his expression was slightly stunned.

"What happened?" Ouhan asked.

Wu Yue said: "Fu Tu asks this king to leave Jiuwang quickly, and also rush the people of Jiuwang to leave together."

Ouhan looked at Murphy and asked, "Why?"

Murphy said: "Fu Tu feels that a catastrophe is coming."

Wan Han's eyes were a little slack, and the whole person fell into a state of soul wandering. After a while, he suddenly said: "Let's go! My lord, let's go now!"

Wu Yue looked at him suspiciously.

Ouhan said: "I always thought that Di Ke had a conspiracy. It was too easy for our army to capture Jiuwang. If he gave up this place, he should not have sent dead soldiers to delay the time, but he did so, obviously planning something. ."

"What is he planning?"

"Ouhan can't figure it out for the time being, but it's definitely a big conspiracy that can cause heavy casualties for our army!" Ouhan affirmed, "In addition to the warning from Futu, Ouhan feels that no matter what the reason is, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time!"

Wu Yue is also a decisive person. Even two of his cronies said so. He has no reason not to believe it. If a city is lost, it can be recaptured, but if he loses troops due to carelessness, it will not be worth the loss. He got up and said, "Since that's the case, don't hesitate, we'll leave the city immediately."

Murphy hurriedly said, "My lord, where are the people of Jiuwang?"

"Futu," Ouhan said, "how did we drive so many people? Even if we could, it would be very time-consuming. We can't put soldiers in danger for these irrelevant people."

Mo Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Then please let Futu stay in this city and convince others to leave!"

"Nonsense!" Wu Yue said angrily, "What can you do alone? This king will not agree!"

Murphy's attitude was also very firm. The terrifying and sad feeling always grabbed her heart. She didn't know what would happen, but she knew that if she left, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

People sometimes do things and do not. She may not be a person of fraternity, but she is by no means a person who ignores life and death.

"Even if the lord does not agree, Futu has to stay."

Wu Yue snorted coldly, took a step forward, patted Mo Fei on the neck at a very fast speed, picked him up before he was soft to the ground, and then said to Wan Han, "Go!"

Although he didn't want to care about the people of Jiuwang, Wu Yue thought about Futu's final determination, and sent a large number of soldiers to shout in the city for a while, and told these people to leave on the grounds that "natural disasters are coming", and then he said to Jiuwang City: "If you still have a little bit of responsibility, take your city people out of this place as soon as possible." After saying this, he hugged Murphy and led the army to leave the just-constructed city quickly.

After three or four miles, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so Wu Yue decided to find a place to camp first.

At this time, Murphy woke up from a coma and faced the rain to see Wu Yue who was close at hand. She quickly remembered what happened, and then looked around, it was obvious that Jun Jun had left Jiuwang.

She said coldly, "You just leave so many people alone?"

"Are you questioning this king?" Wu Yue said lightly.

Murphy tilted his head and clenched his fists tightly. He was about to say a few harsh words, but his temples started to ache again.

She froze in her heart and asked, "How far have we left Jiuwangcheng?"

"About three or four miles!" Wu Yue replied, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. This king is just looking for a place to camp."

"No." Murphy said immediately, "Continue on the road, speed up!"

Wu Yue looked at him. From the moment he entered Jiuwang, Futu always said something that puzzled him. There was no reason, there was no sign, it seemed to be all based on an inexplicable hunch, and what was even more peculiar was that even Huan Han believed that there was something wrong. Danger.

Mo Fei sighed and said indifferently: "Since it has already come out, the lord may wish to trust Futu again and speed up the journey, the danger is still there."

Wu Yue didn't say much, issued a military order, and ran forward.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were full of doubts. Although they had complaints, they did not dare to declare them. They could only resign and walk in the rain.

After running for a few more miles, there was a sudden boom in the distance. Wu Yue and others couldn't help but stop and looked towards the place where the sound was made. Due to the dim vision, they couldn't see anything, and could only hear the earth-shattering rumblings.

"What happened?" Wu Yue frowned and muttered.

Murphy said urgently, "Don't stop, run!"

The alarm bell rang in her mind, her fingers trembled slightly, and she seemed to hear countless cries in her ears.

No matter what, the army continued to speed up the march under the leadership of Wu Yue, but the sound became louder and louder, as if a huge stone wheel was rolling on the ground, making a roaring sound.

Everyone was horrified. It was really hard to imagine what kind of disaster had such power?

At this time, Wu Yue didn't need to say more, all the soldiers ran ruthlessly.

"Oh my God!" Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look!"

There was a commotion in the group of runners, and they all looked back, and saw a torrent pouring from the sky and covering the sky, mixed with mud, rocks and various debris, pushing and rolling layer by layer.

The soldiers suddenly became confused, shouting and running.

Murphy sat in front of Wu Yue and looked back, only to see that the flood was raging like a beast, unstoppable. Don't think about it, this must be the water of the clean river. Just after the big autumn flood, the river was dug up, and the flood water was allowed to flow down, submerging the entire Jiuwang. But the pure river has such water potential? It can be submerged for dozens of miles.

Who did this trick? Even at the expense of so many innocent people!

Dick? Or Xisu?

Soon, the flood caught up with the soldiers who were running, and rolled a large number of people into the water current. The speed of the black iron cavalry was a little faster. It was only a mile or two beyond the infantry before the flood caught up. At this time, the height of the flood was still several meters. And the momentum was very strong, and many cavalry were scattered.

Wu Yue hugged Murphy tightly, leaned over the horse, surrounded by soldiers floating in the water, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he hated Di Ke and the others deeply in his heart.

At this moment, a piece of wood suddenly rushed from behind and smashed hard on the horse's stock, causing the two on the horse's back to lose their balance and fall into the water together.

"Cough cough." Mo Fei drank several mouthfuls of sewage, but Wu Yue was still hugging tightly around his waist.

Wu Yue pulled the reins of the horse and said coldly, "Don't be afraid, this king will pull you."

Seeing Wu Yue's stiff movements, Mo Fei asked hesitantly, "My lord, do you know how to swim..."

Wu Yue pursed his lips, but did not reply.

The corners of Murphy's mouth twitched, and inappropriately, he said comfortingly, "It's okay, I will."

The Jinghe is rich in water, and it is also in the autumn flood season. In addition, there are many lakes, tributaries and groundwater in the plain where Jiuwang is located, so as to cause such a catastrophe. It is estimated that not only Jiuwang, but also the middle and lower reaches of the Jinghe River will be affected, and Wu Yue's men and horses are just marching in the downstream direction, so they will inevitably be submerged. Fortunately, they have left Jiuwang City for dozens of miles, and the water has eased a lot. believe that most of the soldiers can survive. But the people of Jiuwangcheng don't know how many people can survive.

When the heavy rain stopped, Wu Yue, Murphy and the others finally climbed to a high ground, followed by hundreds of soldiers. Everyone got out of the water, coughing, coughing, vomiting, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.

Murphy looked at the vast ocean in front of him. There were still a few corpses floating in the water, and there seemed to be people struggling in the distance.

She hurriedly said: "There are still people alive, we have to save them."

Wu Yue's face was cold and he didn't speak, while the others around were dreading the ocean and never wanted to go down to drink muddy water.

Murphy was not surprised by the hesitation of these soldiers. They would not hesitate to ask them to go into battle to kill the enemy, because death is just a matter of a knife, but the taste of this flood is a kind of torment that is worse than death.

Mo Fei looked in the direction of Jiuwangcheng, wondering how many people could escape in the end. She couldn't let go of the fact that she was knocked unconscious by Wu Yue at that time. Maybe if she stayed, she wouldn't be able to save many people, and she might even risk her own life, but that was her choice, and she would not regret it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yue helped her make a choice. She could no longer change what had happened, but she had to save the people who were still struggling in front of her.

Thinking of this, Murphy didn't say hello, and jumped into the water, not even Wu Yue who was beside him had time to stop him.

"Damn!" Wu Yue growled.

Murphy swam towards the nearest person, holding the other person up to the shore. When the person was rescued, Wu Yue grabbed his arm. He looked at Mo Fei coldly for a while, and suddenly ordered: "Everyone who understands water, let this king go down to save people."

Hundreds of soldiers on the shore looked at each other in dismay, Wu Yue swept away coldly and said, "Do you want to watch a weak scholar save people alone?"

The soldiers were naturally responsible, and dozens of them jumped into the water in response.

Wu Yue pulled Murphy up and said, "Stay honest! If this king sees you going into the water again, after returning to the city, this king will let you sleep!"

After such a threat, he jumped into the water.

Murphy said in surprise, "Don't you know how to swim?"

Wu Yue answered her with a head that was half exposed in the water...

Can you swim? Then what happened to his ugly face at that time?

Murphy looked at those who were struggling in the water, hesitated for a while, and finally rushed down. After all, there are not enough people at present, one more is counted as one, and Wu Yue's threat of "serving the bed" should be a fart!

I don't know how many innocent lives were drowned in this flood.

And the person who caused this disaster is waiting to bear the wrath of the survivors...
