The next day, early morning.
The news that King Zhenbei died due to illness has completely spread among the military camps of the Northern Border Army.
When everyone heard the news, there was a look of astonishment on their faces.
None of them expected that Wu Taiyuan's trip to Beiliang not only failed to successfully seize the military power from Xu Xiao, but also died here!
Although many of them were suspicious, thinking that his death was too strange and was most likely related to Xu Xiao.
After all, in this Beiliang city, Xu Xiao is the one who wants him dead the most!
But there was no proof, and Wu Kangping, the second son of Wu Taiyuan, publicly stated that he died of illness, so they could not convict him.
While astonished, everyone also felt an inexplicable excitement in their hearts!
When Wu Taiyuan came to power, he brutally killed almost all the heroes!
They knew very well how ruthless the King of Zhenbei was, and there would be absolutely no good end to working for him.
However, they were afraid of Wu Taiyuan's brutal methods when he came to power and the protection of a huge power like the Liyang royal family behind him. They could only obey his words and did not dare to have any resistance.
That's why.
Wu Taiyuan died in Beiliang. These northern troops did not feel a trace of sadness because of this, but instead felt a sense of excitement in their hearts.
but.
They also know it very well.
Wu Kangping is the second son of Wu Taiyuan, and it is very likely that he will take over as the next King of Zhenbei.
Therefore, even if they were excited, they did not dare to show it in front of the second son of Prince Zhenbei.
Due to the death of King Zhenbei, the Northern Army was forced to return home.
Under the leadership of Wu Kangping, one hundred thousand elite soldiers were arranged in an orderly manner, preparing to leave Beiliang City.
At this time, he was riding an extremely strong war horse and walking in front of the army.
Looking back at the 100,000 Elite Soldiers, he couldn't help but have a proud smile on his lips, and he couldn't help but think to himself.
"So this is what it feels like to be in charge of power! No wonder the old guy wasn't satisfied after becoming the King of Zhenbei and still wanted to continue to occupy Beiliang!"
Power is absolutely alluring. Once you enjoy the feeling brought by power, your ambition will grow accordingly!
After all, human greed is infinite and will never be easily satisfied!
Although Wu Kangping had not yet completely taken over the northern army, he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the 100,000 elite soldiers following behind him.
At the same time, he also became more determined. After becoming the next King of Zhenbei, he must occupy Beiliang and gain more power!
Wu Ningyue, who was walking with him, glanced at him, but her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Because she always felt that Wu Kangping's current appearance was very similar to that of Wu Taiyuan back then!
To be precise, he has written his ambition on his face!
A real person in power will never show his ambitions, not to mention that Wu Kangping has not yet truly taken charge of the military power of the Northern Territory Army!
This also made her a little disappointed with her younger brother, and she had initially judged in her mind that he was not suitable to be the King of Zhenbei.
Think of this.
A flash of determination flashed in Wu Ningyue's eyes.
In fact, she had also thought about whether the Northern Territory would be more prosperous with Wu Kangping as the next King of Zhenbei.
If the North could become better in his hands, he might stay and help him.
But now it seems that there is still too much suspense in this matter.
Therefore, she decided to wander around in the rivers and lakes after leaving Beiliang City and never return to the north.
……
After walking for a while, one hundred thousand elite soldiers were about to arrive at the city gate.
But what surprised Wu Kangping was.
Xu Xiao did not see him off in person, but asked his adopted son Chu Lushan to wait at the city gate.
Not only that, there were nearly 20,000 Beiliang soldiers standing at the city gate.
But Wu Kangping didn't worry too much, he just thought that his cooperation with Xu Xiao was completed in private. Now that the King of Zhenbei is dead, it's hard for him to show up.
Besides, he was followed by 50,000 elite soldiers from the North.
There were only 20,000 Beiliang troops at the city gate, and they were obviously not here to deal with him.
This also made him slowly feel relieved.
Wu Kangping's eyes were focused on Chu Lushan, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he spoke coldly.
"Fat Chu, I slapped you twice in public last time, and you still survived. It seems that I was too gentle."
When Chu Lushan heard this, a flattering smile appeared on his lips.
"Yes...I should be grateful to Mr. Wu for not killing him."
Looking at Chu Lushan, whose face was as fat as a ball, Wu Kangping no longer planned to talk nonsense with him and said coldly.
"What are you still doing? Hurry open the city gate and let me out of the city!"
Hear this.
Chu Lushan nodded, still smiling in a flattering manner, and shouted at the soldiers behind him.
"Open the city gate for the next King of Zhenbei in the north!"
With Chu Lushan giving an order.
The closed city gate slowly opened.
Wu Kangping also nodded with satisfaction at this time, waved his hand slowly and said.
"Out of town!"
However!
Just when he was planning to lead 100,000 elite northern troops out of the city!
However, Chu Lushan pulled his horse and stood in front of everyone. His expression changed from usual, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Master Wu, you personally killed the King of Zhenbei, tried to seek power and usurped the throne, and became a traitor to our Liyang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty has ordered that Wu Kangping, the second son of the Zhenbei King, kills his father and seizes the throne. For the future safety of the Liyang Dynasty, these rebels must be eradicated as soon as possible! Today, Wu Kangping, the Northern Army and others will not leave any one behind. I'll kill it!"
As soon as these words came out!
Wu Kangping was shocked, and his pupils widened!
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you slander me like this with empty words?!"
The Northern Army behind him also froze on the spot, staring with big eyes and small eyes, and his face was full of shock.
They never imagined that Wu Taiyuan did not die of illness, but was killed by Wu Kangping himself!
But they didn't really care about the real cause of King Zhenbei's death. They were just shocked by Wu Kangping's cruel and ruthless behavior.
When Chu Lushan heard this, he just smiled coldly.
"The slander is still the truth, Mr. Wu, you know it very well. However, the prince is not going to give you any chance to explain. Today, you are destined to stay in Beiliang."
Hear this.
Wu Kangping's face suddenly showed overwhelming anger, and he couldn't help but cursed secretly.
"Damn Xu Xiao, how dare you cross the river and burn down the bridge!"
This patricide is a gamble!
What he was betting on was that Xu Xiao would help him become the next King of Zhenbei!
After all, other than getting rid of Wu Taiyuan and cooperating with him, he has no other way out!
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Xiao was more sinister and cunning than he imagined!
After using yourself, you will cross the river and burn the bridge!
This couldn't help but make him extremely angry, and he also exuded a strong murderous aura!
Hearing a group of Northern Army soldiers still discussing behind him, they all had dissatisfying comments about him.
Wu Kangping clenched his fists and said viciously.
"What is the truth about this matter? I will naturally give you an explanation in the future!"
"But now that the Beiliang Army wants to take our lives, we must stand on the same front!"
"All soldiers in the north obey the order and follow this king to fight a bloody path!"
Hear what Wu Kangping said.
The northern soldiers who were still a little hesitant just now also reacted one after another.
After all, no matter what the truth of this matter is, it cannot stop Xu Xiao from killing them in Beiliang City!
Suddenly, everyone raised their weapons and prepared to face the offensive of the Beiliang Army.
At this time.
Wu Kangping glared at Chu Lushan and gritted his teeth.
"Damn fat man, I spared your life last time, but I won't show mercy this time!"
"You only have 20,000 Northern Liang cavalry, but behind me there are 100,000 elite soldiers from the North! Want to stop me from leaving the city? Jian Shu is out of his mind!"
Chu Lushan laughed coldly, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Wu Kangping, you don't really think there are only 20,000 cavalry here, do you?"
"You were the one who asked me to open the city gate just now. If that's the case, then I'll let you see how many people are outside the city!"
As he said that, he waved his hand violently!
In an instant.
A thick cloud of dust swept over the sky.
The sound of rapid horse hooves resounds throughout the world!
I saw countless Beiliang cavalry armed with weapons rushing into the city. The number was so huge and dense that it was impossible to count how many soldiers and horses there were!
Watching more and more Beiliang cavalry charging towards them.
Wu Kangping only felt that his breathing became more and more rapid, and his brain shut down instantly! ! !
