late night song

Chapter 180 Lejia’s country subjugated
Xirong's 30 soldiers and horses entered Shacheng in a mighty manner. After resting for a night, they continued to march towards Qiongzhou without stopping, but the fate left to the Shacheng defenders who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered was extremely tragic.

All [-] He and the soldiers were slaughtered, and no one survived.

Qi Jinjue looked at the piles of corpses without any mercy and murmured to himself: "Send these unworthy people to Lord Ouyang to deal with personally."

In this way, Xirong quietly reached the outskirts of Qiongzhou without spending a single soldier, and with Lejia Pengkang's self-righteous acquiescence.

No one reported the news to Qiongzhou, not because they didn't want to, but because they simply couldn't, because the Xirong soldiers and horses swept across Hehe's country in a fan shape, and every city they passed could not escape the fate of massacre.

Half of Hehe's land was already covered with blood and corpses were lying in the fields. However, Lejia Pengkang, the young king who was still crazy and living under the future he constructed, was unaware that by the time he came to his senses, he was already dead. It's too late.

At the same time, Beiling stood still, while the Western Army of Shiwanzhen on the southwest border of Dongqi was supported by another 20 troops and horses from Xirong, which had already ignited the flames of war in Dongqi. Even if Qiji received a secret message from Ouyang Qunfang, he had no time to analyze it. Allocate troops to rescue Hehe.

Lejia Pengkang was panicked. The original intention of the alliance between the two countries was that Xirong would rely on Hehe's supplies to support the Western Army in Dongqi Town to start the war first, and then join forces with Hehe's army and horses to advance northward. However, now it has become the first to capture Hehe and directly penetrate the eastern border. In the hinterland, cut off the union between Beiling and Dongqi.

This was something he had not expected, and even if he had calculated it, there was no possibility of turning around.

Only at this time did he finally understand Ouyang Qunfang's ravings that night in the Paradise Hall.

He indeed leads the wolf into the house and digs his own grave.

He hated Qi Jinjue for not keeping his word, hated his own naivety and cowardice, and even more hated his father for leaving him such a weak country. He really couldn't bear the heavy burden of founding a country.

Now Hehe country is riddled with holes and is about to collapse. Fortunately, neither Dongqi nor Beiling can escape. This is the only thing that can make him happy.

Lejia Pengkang ordered the Qiongzhou garrison to defend the city to the death, while he fled in a hurry with more than a hundred red-trained pagodas.

He thought that the garrison could resist for at least three days, but what surprised Shi Shi was that the commander of the garrison, Ding Yi, defected to Qi Jinjue early in the morning. Before the Xirong soldiers came to the city and made no noise, he ordered his followers to open the city gate.

Yuquan Palace was captured instantly, Kou Sang and Qi Yijue took over Hehe, and Lejia Pengkang had to hide deep in Cangshan Mountain.

After Xirong entered the city, he had a completely different policy of burning, killing, and looting than before.Qi Jinjue first besieged all the official residences, and then announced to the whole country that the Grand Sima Ouyang Qunfang surrendered and the country's leader Lejia Pengkang abandoned the city and fled. The army officials and officials who surrendered would not be killed. If the people in the market were content with their livelihoods, Xirong would not interfere. Only those who cause chaos and flee will be killed without mercy.

After the people of Hehe, who were at the end of their fight, learned that the king they believed to be their destiny had abandoned the city and fled regardless of the lives of the people, they went from being without a master to being content with the status quo, as fast as a white candle burning out.

The scholar-bureaucrats who cared about their family and country committed suicide in depression, grief and anger, and gave up all hope of reviving their family and country.But there are too few such resolute people. They are like stars and gravel thrown into the rivers and lakes, making ripples in circles and disappearing in an instant.

In addition, Qi Jijue did not change the title of Hehe and fully implemented the temporary state administration in which the army did not disturb the people, so the lives of the people did not change much.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Hehe's country has been overturned day and night. They are used to living on their last breath, and their habitual surrender is just a change from Beiling's army and horses to Xirong, a country with a feud. There is essentially no difference between Hehe and his people.

The slaves who have subjugated their country will still be alive.

In less than half a month, Qiongzhou City was not even massacred and Hehe's territory was not slaughtered. Apart from changing flags and redoubling patrols, there was nothing else.

If Grand Sima Ouyang Qunfang knew that she had tried her best but failed to arouse any patriotism among the people, she would not be willing to step into Hehe again at the time of reincarnation.Qi Yijue still has a bit of humanity. He appreciates Ouyang Qunfang's courage in dying bravely, so he doesn't have any embarrassment for Ouyang's widow.

Ouyang's mansion was deserted. The mistress of the house, Mrs. Hu, had already dismissed most of her servants. She was holding the letter that Ouyang Qunfang left for her before leaving, feeling sad.

When the Xirong invaded, the master asked her to hide in the countryside if she had the chance, protect her grandson's life, and teach him to know books and principles. However, future generations were not allowed to serve as officials. As for the decision of his son who was an official in the court, he would not interfere. When he went to the outer dynasty, he crossed out his name from the genealogy, and there was no connection with him from then on.

In addition, there is another important thing that she needs to do personally.

On this day, Mrs. Hu took two strong old women and two strong servants to the woodshed in the backyard.

Within a stick of incense after Ouyang Qunfang set out for Shacheng, Zhang Mengyi was tied up and imprisoned here by Hu's order.

As early as when Ouyang Qunfang received Beiling's request to release Prince Ling's credentials, he also received a secret letter that contained everything about Zhang Mengyi's past. It was only then that he was willing to believe that he cared for Prince Ling with all his heart. The woman is a liar.

In the past, he also sent someone to Tongcheng to check her life experience. Although the results were consistent with what she said, he still did not completely believe it. After all, this woman had proper manners and extraordinary knowledge. She did not look like a merchant who had fallen into decline. .

When he learned the truth, he did not regret meeting her because she was once the concubine of Emperor Ming's favored harem. However, he could never accept that this woman colluded with Qi Yijue and secretly conveyed news about his court, with the intention of trapping him. He and Yu are vicious and evil.

Zhang Mengyi is not Chang Xinyi after all.

Therefore, Ouyang Qunfang left a suicide note to Hu, asking Hu to finish off this woman for him to prevent future troubles if he came back alive.

Faced with life and death, Zhang Mengyi panicked. Even though she warned herself countless times during the days of imprisonment, she had already died once, so she had nothing to fear.

But when the rough hemp rope strangled her slender neck, she regretted that ten years ago, she had tried so hard to fall into the arms of the man named Qi Jian on the street.

Her life was only 25 years, which was not too short, but she had never been truly loved by anyone.

…………

On Lejia Pengkang's side, although he abandoned his country and gave up power, Qi Jinjue would not let him go easily.As long as the Lejia royal family continues, it is not justified for him to take charge of Hehe.

So he sent several groups of elites to hunt down Lejia Pengkang. In desperation, the young and destitute king crossed the Cangshan Mountain and hid in the Qiyun Mountains.

This is the dojo of Sanxing Academy. If Xirong dares to attack in a big way, Dongqi and Beiling will attack together.

Obviously this is not what Qi Jinjue wants to see. Now he is mainly attacking Dongqi. In order to be safe, he must try his best to avoid conflict with Beiling Wells to avoid being attacked on both sides.

So he withdrew his killers, but ordered the entire mountain to be sealed off, and Lejia Pengkang was not allowed to take even one step.
