Chapter 1178: A Rain After a Severe Drought, Helping the Needy

On the streets of Liuchen County, merchants and travelers were passing through, and the crowds were bustling, still as prosperous as usual.

However, there were many more people on the road who were ragged and pale. These people came from those small countries and fled here. There were also a few people from the Daji Dynasty in the war zone.

The people of the Daji Dynasty looked at the country bumpkins from these small countries with a smug look. The news sent back by the Celestial Empire army recently was how unstoppable and invincible they were, and how the small countries fled and bowed down.

The war was won, so what if they were smug!

However, at this moment, the county government of Liuchen County was constantly in and out, and their faces were anxious, no longer relaxed at the beginning. Once upon a time, their faces were the same as those of the people outside.

The people are always the last group of people to get the news. Even if they get the news, it is mostly deleted news, just a way to fool the people.

These clerks and subordinates are the ones who are close to the power center. They are not the first to get the news, but they are the channels for the transmission of news. Compared with ordinary people, they know more.

Now, these minor officials are worried. The reason is that the war has taken a turn. To be precise, the army on the front line has been in trouble, or even in a dead end.

Wen Conglong has sent three batches of messengers back to inform the king of Yong and ask him to dispatch troops for assistance. The words in the letters are more urgent than the last one.

The entire Liuchen County government is in a mess. The 50,000 troops led by Wen Conglong were cultivated by the king of Yong over the years. Not to mention elite, at least they are direct descendants. The king of Yong is unwilling and impossible to give up these troops.

But even Wen Conglong's 50,000 troops are trapped on the front line. Who can take on the responsibility and bring the troops back from the front line?

Yes, the king of Yong no longer has the intention to expand the territory. If the 50,000 troops are defeated on the front line, then each family will lose their husbands and sons, and the people will be angry. How could it be possible for the king of Yong to do this?

This is the disadvantage of starting a war. If it really comes to this, the future of King Yong will be ruined. Therefore, no matter how much it costs, they must be rescued.

When asking who can help Jieyou, no one dares to take it on. Not even one person recommends himself. Behind the overwhelming merits, there are also boundless dangers. This is a job that will really cost you your head, and no one is willing to take it on.

In the end, it was a few subordinates who were on good terms with Wu Yi who recommended Wu Yi to King Yong.

It has only been a short time since he was ignored, but he had to recall him again. King Yong was unwilling, but he had no choice but to write a letter to Wu Yi. Now among King Yong's subordinates, only Wu Yi has the prestige to subdue a group of people. For such a major event, King Yong is most interested in Wu Yi. King Yong is not at ease with others.

In the letter to Wu Yi, he was extremely humble in his position as King Yong, saying how he had listened to the words of villains and ignored Wu Yi before, as if he was writing a confession of guilt. Now he sincerely repented and hoped that Wu Yi could come out to help the country in times of crisis.

He was not pretentious. After reading the letter, he immediately led a few followers and drove horses back to the county town from the Chen family's villa in the suburbs.

He deliberately delayed at this time. Even if he really succeeded in the future, he would not be reused in the heart of King Yong. Why bother?

The group galloped and arrived at the twenty-mile journey in just half an hour. When they arrived outside the county government office, the gatekeepers and guards saw Wu Yi and shouted to the inside: "Master Chen is back, Master Chen is back!"

The body occupied by Wu Yi was called Chen Yan, so naturally he was called Master Chen.

This voice was like the joy of a person who had been suffering from drought for a long time seeing the rain. In fact, it was true. Because of the unfavorable battle on the front line, King Yong became a little moody. The people working in the government office were a little nervous, fearing that they would get into trouble.

King Yong, who was still discussing countermeasures with his advisers in the back hall, heard from his servants that Wu Yi had arrived, and he went out to greet him without even getting dressed. After seeing Wu Yi, he sighed: "My arm has come!"

Wu Yi raised his hand and saluted: "Your Highness, you are too kind!"

"Seeing you coming, my heart is at ease!"

King Yong welcomed Wu Yi into the back hall and began to introduce the specific situation to Wu Yi. Although the news transmitted through the inner demon body was equivalent to being on the scene, the human body knew much more and more specific information than King Yong, but seeing how Wen Conglong reported it would also facilitate future decision-making.

More and more people gathered in the back hall, and Prince Yong did not drive them away. Now was the time to work together. After introducing them, he looked at Wu Yi with a worried look on his face and asked, "What are the chances of success on this trip?"

"If Your Highness wants to defeat the enemy, it's only 30%, if you want to repel the enemy, it's 70%!"

"You can repel the enemy. Now that we are in such a predicament, how dare we hope to defeat the enemy!" Everyone nodded.

"In this case, Your Highness, just wait for good news from me!"

"What is the best way to repel the enemy?" Although Wu Yi said it confidently, Wen Conglong's army was deeply trapped in the front line, and Prince Yong was anxious. This was all his property and it also determined his future fate! He had to ask in more detail.

Wu Yi didn't want to tell his plan in front of everyone, but seeing Prince Yong's appearance, he obviously wanted to work together, so he said: "Besiege Wei to save Zhao!"

Although it was only four words, everyone present knew what Wu Yi meant, and the light in their eyes was also different.

"Now the other three armies cannot be mobilized in time, and there are not many soldiers and horses available in the county government. By the time we gather all the troops and horses to besiege Wei, Zhao will have been destroyed long ago!"

It is normal to have a dispute, and it is abnormal not to have a dispute. Wu Yi responded bluntly: "In this case, how about Lord Zhao going straight to the center and breaking the siege?"

Now Wen Conglong is trapped on the narrow beach at Sanchuankou, with a river in front and a mountain behind. The food route is harassed by the rioters, and countless people starve to death every day. It can be said that he is in a desperate situation.

Lord Zhao is usually on good terms with Wen Conglong, and he hopes to rescue Wen Conglong as soon as possible. It is a good idea, but Wu Yi will not choose this path, even if he is on good terms with Wen Conglong, he will not do so, because it is like throwing meat buns at dogs, which will never come back.

Since King Yong had invited Wu Yi to come, he could only trust Wu Yi unconditionally, even though Wu Yi's approach had some implications of using the enemy to eliminate dissidents. "The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, how many troops do you want?"

Wu Yi stretched out his hand, made an eight, and said, "Eight hundred family servants will do!"

King Yong had already prepared for Wu Yi's high demands, but he didn't expect Wu Yi to be so arrogant. The voices around him accusing Wu Yi of being greedy and reckless became louder.

"If Your Highness thinks it's too little, you can also allocate me 8,000 soldiers. I will never think it's too much!"

This sentence choked King Yong and made him speechless.
