Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 341 The palace gate is closed
Xiangzhou County, Chongde County.

In front of me, this small county town located in the borderlands, which is still relatively prosperous, is now a dilapidated scene.

There were traces of the flames of war, the not tall city gate had already been blasted open, and half of the city gate had fallen on the ground beside it, with dried blood all over it.Through the city gate, you can also see the corpses of common people lying on the ground in the streets of the city.

The carrion vultures that came from the plateau with the Tibetans had landed on the city wall at this time, looking greedily at the city.

In the whole city, there is now a dead silence.Apart from the hoarse chirping of the vultures, there are only occasional voices of people in the city talking loudly and laughing in Tubo language.

At this time, the Tubo people who were captured this time were being counted in the city, but they did not notice that in the southeast direction, on the official road extending to the hinterland of Xiangzhou County, a forest of flags suddenly appeared, fluttering in the wind, from Far and near, more and more clear.

Afterwards, the soldiers of Yun Kingdom in silver armor came into sight.

The lineup of the army was cleaned up, the spears were like forests, and the swords were like snow.Even though it was tens of miles away, he could still feel the awe-inspiring killing spirit on his body.

Among the Yunguo army, the leader Shi Chengwen looked at the county town in the distance, his expression sank.

A purple light flashed in his eyes, and in his line of sight, he could see above the Chongde County in front of him, there was almost a black mist lingering that had almost turned into substance, showing dead silence.

Shi Chengwen's hand holding the rein couldn't help but tighten at this moment, and the look in his eyes became sharper.

Although it was known before that the Tubo soldiers entered the country to burn, kill and loot, but without seeing it with their own eyes, it is always impossible to deeply feel the suffering suffered by the people.

Although he has not yet entered Chongde County, he saw with his own eyes the killings committed by the Tubo soldiers.But only using the method of watching Qi, I already know that Chongde County has now turned into a dead city!
Such a crime, Rao Shi Chengwen's calm temperament, at this time, he couldn't help being angry, and gritted his teeth:

"Boyo!"

Seeing his expression, Jiang Wei at the side immediately understood, and said in response:
"The scouts in the army have just reported that there is no ambush in Chongde County. The Tubo soldiers and horses are all looting in the city."

Shi Chengwen immediately drew out his saber from his waist, took a deep breath to subdue his anger, and shouted:
"Lead the [-] cavalry under your command and go around to block the other gates. Be sure not to let a Tubo person leave!"

Jiang Wei was refreshed when he heard the words, and immediately shouted:

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly took down the long spear hanging on the horse, summoned all the cavalry under his command, pointed the long spear obliquely, shouted violently, and said:
"I was ordered to quickly block the gates of the city and not let the enemy escape even a single person!"

"Yes!" All the cavalry under his command yelled immediately, followed Jiang Wei, and rushed towards the front of Chongde County.

The sound of rushing horseshoes, like thunder that washes away the world, suddenly resounded all around.

The smoke of blood and energy billowed straight into the sky, and suddenly there was a sense of heaven and earth, and there was a vision condensed.

The kylin vision appeared, and when it jumped, Ang Tian roared, and the sound shook the world, showing the power of the beast.

In addition, as a soldier of General Anbei who did not know Cheng Cheng, among the soldiers of Yunguo, the elite of the [-] cavalry led by Jiang Wei was second only to the elite of the special arms.

The sharp and indomitable vision of feathered arrows, with the bloody light swaying behind him, is constantly entwining and circling around Jiang Wei's unicorn vision, making this unicorn, which is originally an auspicious beast, add a touch of murderous intent.

Under the blessing of the vision, the speed of the eight hundred cavalry increased again, and it really shot towards Chongde County like the arrow that left the string.

Such movement, no matter how dull the Tubo soldiers in Chongde County were, they had already heard the movement at this time.

In the city, the Tubo general wearing half a pair of light armor turned his head to look at the vision of the army that suddenly appeared above the sky, his eyes widened, and he said in a daze:

"Dragon God is on top..."

Some Tubo soldiers ran up to the Tubo general in embarrassment, knelt down in panic, pointed at the vision in the sky, and shouted in horror with a hint of crying:
"It's not good! General Wangdui, it's not good, Xia, the people of Xia are here! The people of Xia, with the blessing of the gods, have come..."

Wangdui suddenly came back to his senses, and exclaimed:

"Impossible! Xia Guo and Yun Guo are at war, so it's impossible to take care of this place... You can see clearly, is it from Xia Guo or Yun Guo?"

At this time, the soldiers under him were already a little speechless, and stammered back:

"Well, that may be because the subordinates didn't see it clearly, or it may be from Yunguo..."

Speaking of this, the Tubo soldier suddenly slumped down on the ground in fear, crying:

"General Wangdui, we came to Xia Kingdom and committed too many murders, so now, the people of Youyun Kingdom come to punish us with the gift of the gods!"

Although the Three Kingdoms of Yun, Xia, and Li were all on the battlefield before, the vision of the army condensing has been revealed.But the rest of the countries in the world have only just received some news that they don't know whether it is true or not.Not to mention the Tubo Kingdom, which is stuck on the plateau and has always been closed!

Facing the vision of a large army that they had never encountered before, this group of Tubo people from the highlands who believed in gods performed worse than the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom back then.

The Tubo people are well aware of the crimes they have committed since entering Xiangzhou County, and only at this time will they say "the punishment of the gods".

It's just that before, because the benefits obtained from the looting were too great, even the prosperity of a small border town in the Central Plains could hardly make these Tubo people who had suffered for many years resist the temptation and annihilated their humanity.

Listening to the cries of his subordinates, Wangdui couldn't help feeling flustered and irritable.

Seeing the soldiers around him also showing fear and regret at this time, Wangdui reacted immediately, kicked the crying soldiers away, and scolded:
"Shut up, the Dragon God will only protect us and other high-atom people!"

Having said that, he pointed to the vision of the army attacking from the sky, and shouted:
"That is the power of the evil god! It is the evil god who peeped at our plateau and drove the people of Yunguo to invade. Take your swords and resist the enemy. We have the protection of the dragon god!"

A group of Tubo soldiers, under Wangdui's scolding, picked up their swords tremblingly, mounted their horses, and reluctantly gathered together.

And when they gathered in front of the Tubo soldiers, they heard the sound of killing, and the cloud army had already arrived!
The elite soldiers of the cloud army rushed into the city brazenly.

Looking at the withered and miserable scene in the city, all the soldiers of the Yun army were tearful, looking at the gathered Tubo soldiers, their eyes were even more murderous.

Shi Chengwen personally led the soldiers and horses into the city, pointed to the front, and shouted:

"kill!"

"kill!"

Almost condensed into a real killing intent, overwhelming, rushing towards the Tubo soldiers.

But in an instant, the Yun army had rushed before the Tubo soldiers.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

Under the attack of Yunguo's elite soldiers and horses, the Tubo soldiers who were recruited temporarily, but after a short time, they scattered like birds and beasts and fled in defeat.

But at this time, the four gates of Chongde County were already blocked by Jiang Wei's troops, and the Tubo soldiers were trapped in the city, and it was impossible to escape, and they began to be separated and surrounded by the cloud army, annihilating them one by one.

And because the armor and attire were much more conspicuous than ordinary soldiers, Wangdui was quickly brought before Shi Chengwen by the generals of the Yun Army.

Shi Cheng tattooed himself on a horse, looked down at Wangdui with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"The tribe you belong to, the name of the tribe leader, where they are, and the deployment of troops... Tell me everything you know!"

Next to Shi Chengwen was a soldier who had been specially recruited earlier and knew the Tubo language, and was about to translate his words.

Wangdui's face was pale, feeling the sharp edge across his neck, he swallowed, struggling and hesitating for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said:

"My name is Wangdui, and I am from the Lang family. The leader of the tribe is Lord Duoji... This time we sent troops to capture the land of the Xia Kingdom to fill the gap among the tribe. Now Lord Duoji is bringing his [-] Hundreds of personal soldiers are stationed in Jinchuan County, and they want to make it a tribal territory... I also know who is driving Master Dorji, as long as the general spares my life, I will tell you all about it!"

The soldiers around him who knew the Tubo language translated all these words to Shi Chengwen.

When Shi Chengwen heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The person behind this scene is naturally a member of the Xia Kingdom!Your Majesty has already explained this matter, and you still need to inform me?
Shi Chengwen immediately turned his horse's head, without even looking at Wangdui.

And just when Wangdui thought that he was pardoned because of this secret, he heard Shi Chengwen say again:

"Xiangzhou is already our country of Dayun. Its crime of looting and massacring the people of Dayun is unforgivable!"

Wangdui didn't understand the Mandarin of the Central Plains, so for a while, he didn't understand what it meant.

When the soldiers of the Yun army who were guarding Wangdui heard the words, they immediately showed a sinister smile, and responded excitedly:
"Yes!"

After saying that, someone raised the long knife that was shining with cold light in his hand, and slashed down fiercely.

There was only a "puchi" sound, and blood splashed out suddenly.

Wangdui's head rolled to the ground, with a look of bewilderment on his face...
-
But at the time of the fighting in Xiangzhou County, in Jinling City of Xia Kingdom, a way that was not the same as on the battlefield, but no less dangerous than fighting on the battlefield, stirred up the treacherous situation and stirred up the undercurrent.

In front of Danfeng Gate, the main entrance of the Xia Kingdom's Palace, there were already many civil and military officials, nobles from clans gathered here, all of them looked dignified, discussing in twos and threes.

Now above Xia Guochaotang, the reserve position is pending.

King Qi, who was originally the most valued by Emperor Xia, is still in Jiangcheng Mansion, presiding over the southwestern defense line.Among the princes in Beijing, King Jin seemed to be valued by Emperor Xia again.

If Emperor Xia didn't make it through and passed away, then who the next Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom would be would be a matter of their wealth, power and status, and they couldn't help but pay attention to it!

So after receiving the news that the current Emperor Xia was seriously ill, these people hurried here, wanting to take the opportunity to see the Emperor Xia and find out how the current Emperor Xia is doing.

It's just that even though they had been waiting for several hours, none of the many princes, clan princes, ministers of military affairs, honorable officials gathered outside the Danfeng Gate was summoned by the palace.

At this time, especially the princes who are interested in the throne, they are most impatient.

Even King Chu and King Jin, who were the oldest and most prudent on weekdays, clasped their hands in their sleeves nervously.

And just when everyone was impatient, the closed Danfeng Gate suddenly opened with a creaking sound.

Wearing eunuch costumes and bowing humbly, Xia Huang's close eunuch, the old eunuch Sixi, walked out slowly.

Facing the tense and eager gazes of the princes, courtiers, and nobles of the clan, the old eunuch bowed first, then said with a sullen face:

"Your Majesty feels a little unwell. After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, it has been greatly relieved. Now I have rested. I can only ask Your Highnesses and adults to go back first. When Your Majesty recovers, I will naturally summon you!"

Although the old eunuch is Emperor Xia's personal eunuch, but at this time, it is by no means that he can send everyone away by saying such a sentence.

King Qing, who was the youngest and most aggressive, stood up immediately, and said very rudely to the old eunuch:
"Since the father is seriously ill, then the king will enter the palace and serve the father personally in front of the bed, to show filial piety! This is a matter of nature, and the big companion should not stop it!"

Having said that, King Qing immediately snorted coldly, and was about to rush into the palace.

Seeing this, the princes' eyes moved immediately, and they froze in place, no one stood up to stop them.

The old eunuch frowned, his eyes sank, he picked up the fly whisk he was holding in his arms with his right hand, and waved it casually.

In an instant, there was an invisible, qualityless, extremely soft force, which waved out from the dust whisk and turned into countless tiny forces, forming an invisible barrier, directly blocking Qing's body. In front of the king.

King Qing walked in quickly with his head sullen, just wanting to take advantage of this moment to rush into the palace in one breath.

But before he passed the old eunuch, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

At this moment, he felt as if his body had been plunged into the mud all of a sudden, his whole body was restrained by invisible energy, and his movements were extremely stagnant.For a moment, he froze in place, unable to move at all.

The princes headed by King Chu and King Jin were all shocked when they saw this.

Like the Yun Kingdom, the Emperor Taizu of the Xia Kingdom was also a peerless master. Naturally, the Xia Kingdom's royal family also had martial arts inheritance.After these princes become kings as adults, there are countless masters in the world who devote themselves to serving under their command.Under the influence of ears and eyes, even though these princes' martial arts are not high, their eyesight is not low.

At this moment, all the princes' eyelids twitched at the sight of the old eunuch Sixi's demeanor.

At the very least, he is also a ninth-level master...

Originally, they only wanted to take advantage of King Qing's reckless temper to test it out.

But he didn't want to, this time, he actually tried out the eunuch who was next to the old man, who was hiding a lot.

With the presence of this expert of at least the ninth rank in front of him, blocking in front of the palace gate, what everyone was secretly thinking before was to take advantage of King Qing's intrusion into the palace gate, and entangle the courtiers Xungui to take advantage of the chaos and rush into the palace together. It is completely unworkable!

The old eunuch Sixi looked at King Qing who was at the side, frowned, bowed and said:
"Your Highness King Qing, don't cause trouble for Zhao Zhaoyi in the palace anymore, go back!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand casually, and the invisible energy that was intertwined with countless threads dissipated in an instant.

King Qing staggered, and stood firm in front of him.

He looked at the old eunuch fearfully, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, he snorted and did not speak.

Even King Qing, the youngest and most energetic, knew at this moment that if he continued to make trouble, he would be suspected of violating the palace ban, and it would be difficult to explain if someone took the opportunity to attack him.

In desperation, the people in front of the Danfeng Gate could only disperse unwillingly, and make plans after returning...
