Chapter 208 Ci Bu Zhou Bing

The sky had already brightened.

The corpses in Big Yellow City piled up layer after layer.

Regardless of whether it was the Mu Clan or the Azure Dragon Army, their losses were extremely serious.

Xue Qinguan frowned.

The Mu Clan Army had no intention of withdrawing their troops, and even if the Azure Dragon Army continued to fight like this, it would still be a tragic victory.

Without his two hundred thousand strong army, his use in Zhu Xian would be reduced to the extreme. He understood Zhu Xian's character too well. He would use everything he had, but abandon everything he had. He was able to climb to the position of the Four Imperial Envoys of the Longevity Division because he knew how to preserve his own value.

However, if he continued to fight like this, his value in Zhu Xian's eyes would drop again and again.

Thinking of this, Xue Qinguan hesitated in his heart. He began to secretly calculate whether he should give up the Mu Clan's military spin and chase after Xu Han and the others.

Such worries also existed in Mu Liang's heart.

"General, continue fighting like this" Mu Liang looked at the man beside him and asked.

This battle was very strange.

Although due to the limited terrain, many strategies were useless, but based on his understanding of Mu Ji, it seemed that they had never fought such a tough battle.

There was a saying that the soldier was also weird.

The march to war was never as simple as competing with each other in terms of strength.

Times and geography are favorable and each is used appropriately enough to defeat the few and the weak to defeat the strong.

Mu Liang believed that even on such a battlefield, Mu Ji would definitely be able to come up with some ways to help the Mu Clan Army.

However, the two sides had fought for nearly two hours. Apart from ordering him to attack the west side of the Azure Dragon Army to obtain some results, Mu Ji remained silent for the rest of the time.

This battle was very difficult, and Mu Ji was also very strange.

This made Mu's conscience feel a little uneasy.

"Ah Liang, 200,000 Mu Clan Army, how much do you think you can control?" However, the Beijiang King did not seem to recognize the worry in Mu Liang's tone. At that time, he turned to look at Mu Liang and asked a question that had nothing to do with this stalemate.

Ah Liang.

Ever since Mu Ji ascended to the throne of the Northern Region King, Mu Liang had rarely heard of this title. However, ever since the start of the Battle of Big Yellow City, Ye Zichen had often called him that.

This made Mu Liang feel somewhat strange.

The deputy commander of the Mu Clan was stunned for a while before he regained his senses. "I'm stupid. Thirty to twenty thousand is fine. More than that. With Hu Liu and Sun Ming here, I can't convince the crowd."

"Yes." Sitting on a wooden chair, the pale-faced Beijiang King turned his head to look at the stalemate and said, "What if we don't have them?"

When he said this, Beijiang King's tone was as calm as ever, but it made Mu Liang's heart beat.

"What did the general say?"

"I think it shouldn't be a problem for you to suppress the 50,000 Mu Clan Army with your ability." Mu Ji's voice sounded again.

"General, what exactly are you" Mu Liang's doubts and uneasiness grew even greater when he heard this. He couldn't help but ask again.

"We can't reach Chang'an, we can't kill Zhu Xian." However, Mu Ji did not seem to have heard Mu Liang's words and said again at that time.

"Why?"

"You can't suppress this 200,000 Mu Clan Army…"

"Isn't there a general here?"

"I won't be able to live long. You know, I know, and Zhu Xian knows."

"Is that the medicine that that bitch gave you to drink?" Mu Liang's eyebrows sank, and killing intent immediately surged in his eyes.

"I have been suffering from a hidden illness since I was young. Whether I have those medicines or not, I deserve this calamity." Mu Ji shook his head, his expression still calm.

He had always come to see through life and death, and this point had never changed for others or himself.

"Then what does the general mean?" At this point, Mu Liang's heart became gloomier. He understood Mu very well. The other party had clearly decided to show his cards to him at this time, and had already completely cut off his path of retreat.

"Ah Liang, although you are not from my father, you have lived with me since childhood. My father treats you like a son, and I also treat you as a brother. And all these years, I have asked myself how much I have treated you. Now, I have something to ask of you, so please accept it." At that time, Mu Ji looked at Mu Liang with a rare solemn expression.

"No matter what, let's win this battle first!" Mu Liang was a little afraid, but even he couldn't tell what he was afraid of, but he instinctively wanted to avoid this topic.

"I can't win this battle." Mu Ji's answer was simple and straightforward, causing Mu Liang's heart to sink to the bottom of the valley at that moment.

'"Why can't we win? If not, we can retreat first, save our strength, and then find a fighter. This is the Mu Clan army left behind by the Mu King! Do you want to watch them die here with your own eyes?" Mu Liang's voice suddenly grew louder.

This was the first time he had ever spoken to Mu Ji.

"Yes, this is the Mu Clan Army left behind by my father." Mu Ji looked at the white armor in his eyes and sighed sadly. "He always loved his people. Back then, he died outside Tianshan Pass in order to save the hundreds of thousands of civilians held hostage by Li Wenjing. Now, how can I use the Mu Clan army he left behind to make Great Zhou's life miserable?"

The sun finally revealed itself from the horizon.

The autumn sun shone with waves of warmth towards the people in Big Yellow City, and the battle continued.

Under the warm sunlight, Mu Liang felt a chill in his heart.

He stared blankly at the white-clothed man in front of him, as if this was the first time he had truly known him.

After the man said those words, he came to his senses.

It turned out that all of the schemes were not only aimed at the 500,000 Xia soldiers in Cui Ting's hands, but also at the 250,000 Azure Dragon Tribe in Zhu Xian's hands.

There was also himself, as well as the Mu Clan Army that had followed him through life and death at the border for many years!

"Why?" After a long silence, Mu Liang finally asked again. His voice was extremely dry, as if it had been squeezed out of his throat.

'"Hu Liu, Sun Ming," he said. "Back then, their hearts were filled with grievances over the Mu King's rebellion. If I were to die, they would most likely surrender to the Xia Dynasty and lead their troops into the seclusion. If that's the case, why don't I bring them to the Death Realm?" Mu Ji's expression was calm as he stated his cruel and even vicious schemes.

As he spoke, several Mu Clan soldiers would die in battle every moment.

However, Mu Ji didn't even blink his eyes, as if those who died in front of him weren't from the old tribe that had followed him for nearly ten years, but were just insignificant dogs and cats.

Du Yan Ci was not in charge of the army. Obviously, Mu Ji had already brought this into full play.

"Are you… Are you crazy?" Mu Liang admitted that he was used to seeing life and death, but after hearing Mu Ji's words, his heart couldn't help but go numb. "General Hu and General Sun are all veteran generals who have followed the Mu Clan for decades. They have made countless contributions to the Mu Clan. You want to bury the entire Mu Clan Army here just for the sake of your own speculation?"

'"The storm of the Great Zhou is swaying like a rotten tree. It looks like it is full of branches and leaves, but in fact, its interior has already decayed. It can't withstand any changes. Therefore, before I die, I have to erase all the unstable factors one by one."

Mu Ji said this. At that time, the morning sun shone on his face. His face became paler and paler, and even carried a slightly gloomy smell. From afar, he looked like a ghost that had crawled out of hell. He had a contempt for life that originated from his soul.

"What's the use of doing this? The Lin Shoumu Clan army is a big problem for Zhu Xian. You're helping Zhu Xian!" Mu Liang said sadly.

"No, I'm helping Great Zhou, or the people of Great Zhou."

"Whether it's the Mu Clan Army, Zhu Xian, or Cui Ting, who is waiting outside the city to collect the benefits of the fishermen, they are all enemies of Great Zhou."

"And today, they will all die here."
