supreme heaven

After saying this passage, all the people who scolded Duan Jiuxiao for being unfaithful and unrighteous just wanted to slap themselves hard, especially those Confucian officials who scolded the most vigorously, their faces were as red as pig livers, After holding back for a long time, I couldn't utter a word.

Duan Jiuxiao wanted to be loyal to the country, but his star-level wife stopped him and died in his place. After death, she couldn't even wrap a horse leather body, and was hung on a flagpole for public display.

If you continue to criticize Duan Jiuxiao and his wife for not guarding Jiamen Pass like this, it is tantamount to being critical, people's hearts are fleshy, even His Majesty Yongming is no exception.

After a sigh, His Majesty Yongming spoke slowly: "I will make an imperial edict to posthumously confer the title of Mrs. Duan Jiuxiao. Duan Mojun will be the Marquis of Yijie. I will give you 500 taels of gold and [-] pieces of white silk to condolence Duan Jiuxiao. The crime of losing his teacher and humiliating the country made him make meritorious deeds and defeat the enemy as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is so benevolent and righteous that he will definitely bring the world back." Gao Changgong, the Duke of Yue who was standing opposite Qin Guyue, leaned forward slightly and said some compliments.

Facing Yue Guogong's words, His Majesty Yongming just smiled wryly and said: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality are the highest in my Tianzhou, but what's the use if the barbarians scoff at them?" Qin Guyue said: "Marquis Sunyue, I heard that you had a very close relationship with Duan Jiuxiao and Duan Mojun in the early years. Don't you want to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Yunzhong to help Duan Jiuxiao?"

When Qin Guyue heard His Majesty Yongming's words, she thought inwardly: "The show is coming." But she still replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I am waiting for your arrangement."

"Hehe, wait for my arrangement?" His Majesty Yongming thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the country is facing a crisis, Marquis of the Sun and Moon, I want to send you to the northwest front to resist the invasion of Xiyi. I hope you don't refuse!"

Qin Guyue nodded, and was about to speak, but His Majesty Yongming added: "The Qin family's army is the most powerful in the world. After the first battle in Yunjing City, it has been known to all the world. This time, we will send more teams. You're not used to commanding, and secondly, it's not as easy as your Qin's army, why don't you let the Qin's army go to Jiamen Pass and let you dispatch them to fight?"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Guyue immediately smelled His Majesty Yongming's sinister and malicious intentions. There are millions of soldiers in Yunzhong, even if all of them are counted, there are only 5 thousand soldiers. Wan Dajun was also seriously injured. If he couldn't defeat Yun Zhongguo's army, at least he had bought time, which would also consume the opponent's strength.

This is a trick to drive away tigers and wolves, and it is very vicious.

It can be said that it was derived from Duan Jiuxiao's trick of recommending Qin Guyue.

However, Qin Guyue's strategy and wisdom are not inferior to the king of Tianzhou in the slightest. With Qin Zhantian who is scheming, Qin Aofeng who is clever and talented, father, son and brother together, how can His Majesty Yongming plot against him?

Immediately, Qin Guyue cupped her hands and replied: "Your Majesty, this matter is really hard for me to obey!"

"Huh?" As if he didn't expect Qin Guyue to refuse, His Majesty Yongming's face suddenly pulled down, and he said to Qin Guyue: "Marquis Sunyue, what do you mean? The original intention of the Qin Family Army was to Isn't it just to protect the eternal kingdom of the Holy Heaven, and the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment? How can you be so selfish, afraid of the loss of the Qin family army..."

Just when those Confucian ministers with good deeds raised their lips slightly, and were about to sarcastically sarcastically Qin Guyue, Qin Guyue seemed to be very sincere and bowed to His Majesty Yongming and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's not the lonely Yue is stingy with the casualties of the Qin family army, and it is definitely not because she is greedy for life and fear of death, but because...the Qin family army has another urgent mission to do now!"

"What else is there for your Qin family, more urgent mission than protecting the country of the Holy Heaven Dynasty and the people of the world?" A Confucian official who had a good relationship with Yue Guogong heard Qin Guyue's words and immediately opened his mouth. insulted.

But Qin Guyue was not angry, but smiled lightly, and said to His Majesty Yongming: "Now the Qin family army has formed an army in Luoshui in the southeast."

Standing in Luoshui?

Almost everyone was stunned for a moment. Many people didn't know where Luoshui was. Then Qin Guyue said that the Qin family army's formation in Luoshui is more urgent than going to the northwest to fight against the invasion of Xiyi. What is this? Condition?

Only Yue Guogong, who is familiar with the geography of the southeast, frowned, and finally said: "I don't know who is the commander of the Qin family army in Luoshui?"

Qin Guyue replied without hesitation: "Father Qin Zhantian is the commander-in-chief of the Qin family army, and only he can stop Yan Wujun, the former God of the Great Chu Army."

The Qin family army wants to fight against the Chu rebels?Qin Zhantian wants to fight Yan Wujun?

Everyone could smell the gunpowder behind the news that Luoshui was standing up.

"Can the Qin family's army stop the rebels?" His Majesty Yongming pondered for a moment, and his eyes on Qin Guyue were no longer so aggressive.

"Maybe not." Qin Guyue said modestly: "But at least it can delay the rebels for a month..."

Even Qin Zhantian's army, which is the most powerful in the world, can only be delayed for a month?The disappointment of the ministers was beyond words.

"The rebel army is really so powerful? Isn't even the Qin family's army, which is number one in the world, sure of victory?" Immediately, some people began to discuss softly. The rogue cultivators incorporated the monks into the army, so their combat power doubled, and their combat power should not be inferior to the elite troops of the evil soul sect..."

"How is this possible?" His Majesty Yongming frowned, but Qin Guyue was already speaking with facts: "After the Battle of Yuechuan, in just seven days, the rebels had already conquered ten cities, approaching the Nandu City on the bank of the Luoshui River, and fell to the front line of the city. , Your Majesty, do you think their fighting power is inferior to that of the Evil Soul Cult?"

The faces of the officials suddenly changed. Decades ago, an evil soul sect almost destroyed the Shengtian Dynasty. If Da Chu, who has always been not strong in combat power, has the same combat power as the evil soul sect, wouldn't it be possible to perish too? Holy Heaven Dynasty?

This is not counting the Nanman with a barbarian king Tuobaye and the unbelievably powerful Xiyiyun China. It is really like what His Majesty Yongming said, the Shengtian Dynasty is in a national crisis and is at stake.

His Majesty Yongming's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was calculating the gains and losses of the overall situation, and finally he looked at the ministers in the Qiankun Palace and said: "When the country is in crisis, I think I can't sit still, otherwise I will be ashamed of the previous emperors under the nine springs. So I decided to imitate my father..."

As soon as the voice fell, someone in the crowd immediately reacted, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you...do you want to follow His Majesty Wu Lie's example and march in person?"

"That's right." His Majesty Yongming nodded with firm eyes and said, "I intend to imitate my father and conquer Zhennan Pass to stop the barbarian army." Before everyone could react, he raised his hand and pointed at Yue Guogong and said: "The war in the north is entrusted to you, Duke Yue."

Yue Guogong Gao Changgong listened to His Majesty Yongming's words, his eyes moved, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, nodded his head and said: "Your Majesty entrusted me with such a heart-to-heart, I will never hesitate to die!"

As soon as the words fell, His Majesty Yongming opened his mouth and issued an order; "Mr. Yue Guo respectfully listened to the order, and ordered you to lead one hundred thousand Qin Tianjun to the north to help Haishan Pass and resist the evil spirits. Waiting for your triumphant return!"

"Obey!" Yue Guogong responded, but His Majesty Yongming said: "Imperial Dao Tianji Sword, you take it to Haishan Pass together, and you must not let the remnants of the evil soul sect cross Haishan Pass half a step, lest the people of Tianzhou be ruined, I don't want to Be the sinner of all ages."

"People are in the gate... Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Yue Guogong Gao Changgong knocked solemnly and said: "I invite father and son to go to guard Haishan Pass together."

"Well, it's a good story for father and son to guard Haishan Pass together." His Majesty Yongming nodded in agreement: "Give Lanling Hou Gaohu the second-rank General Polu, and go to Haishan Pass with Yue Guogong to guard the pass."

Who knew Yue Guogong paused his head when he heard His Majesty Yongming's words, and then said: "If the gate is broken, my father and son will both be honored by the emperor, and I hope that they will all die to die for the country!"

After the words fell, the officials who had just breathed a sigh of relief looked solemn again.Yue Guogong's meaning was obvious, he went with the determination to die.

Just when everyone was sighing at Yue Guogong's loyalty, His Majesty Yongming turned his head and set his eyes on Qin Guyue: "Marquis of the Sun and Moon, you were my son before I ascended the throne. Right arm and right arm, now that the country is in crisis, I still hope that you will lead troops to the front line of Jiamenguan to supervise the battle, please don't refuse."

When Qin Guyue heard His Majesty Yongming's words, she also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin family's army is already stretched to fight against the Chu rebels. If they are transferred to the northwest front, it will be tantamount to losing both ends. To tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, minister, It’s really more than enough.”

When Qin Guyue said this, not to mention His Majesty Yongming, even Duke Yue who was kneeling next to him knew it very well. In short, in short, what Qin Guyue wanted was the word "give someone"!

If you give it to me, I will do it. If you don't give it to me, don't talk about it. Sorry, I can't do anything!

This is Chi Guoguo's robbery!Threatening His Majesty Yongming to submit.

His Majesty Yongming's eyes also changed slightly, and his lips opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he seemed to be suppressed by him, but it was Qin Guyue who spoke first: "Your Majesty, although Qin Aofeng is only thirteen years old, he has He is in the realm of Wuzong, he is influenced by his father and his subordinates, and he hopes to be used by the country. The so-called gathering talents and not avoiding relatives, I also hope that your majesty can let him listen to and use him in the court."

"Oh?" His Majesty Yongming didn't seem to have figured out why Qin Guyue's younger brother, Qin Aofeng, would take the initiative to ask for an official when his relationship with the Qin family was so stiff now. Out of curiosity, he still asked: "Then why?" According to Marquis Riyue's opinion, which position is more suitable for Lingdi Qin Aofeng? After all, there are no vacancies in the major fortresses in today's state, and there are also positions in the army..."

Qin Guyue heard His Majesty Yongming's words, and said directly: "Although Shedi's strength has reached Wuzong's, his mind is still immature, and he is still in Yunjing City. It is more appropriate for the court to listen to him."

Qin Guyue didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity to release her younger brother to make more military exploits?Instead, let him stay in Yunjing City directly, isn't it the same as coming to court every day and being watched by His Majesty Yongming?

Many people don't understand, but His Majesty Yongming obviously understands.

What Qin Guyue's intention was, he understood.Although, Qin Aofeng doesn't mean much to the entire Qin family, but after all, he is also Qin Zhantian's son and Qin Guyue's younger brother, so having a hostage is much better than nothing.

At least this tells His Majesty Yongming that you have at least so many people from the Qin family in Yunjing City, what are you afraid of?If you really want to save the country from the crisis, you can give me soldiers without hesitation!

"Okay, then Qin Aofeng will be promoted to be the third-rank bodyguard chief of Yuqian Zheng and serve in the Ministry of War." His Majesty Yongming nodded, issued an imperial decree, then turned his head and said to Qin Guyue: "I have already dealt with Aiqing's difficulties. Understood. The so-called 'the rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility', it is time for those passionate youths who are loyal to our dynasty to fight on the battlefield... Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Household Department!"

Behind Qin Guyue, two older Confucian officials lined up and clasped their hands. "The minister is waiting."

"Start conscription! Restrict the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Within ten days, [-] soldiers will be recruited from all over the country and sent to the front line of Jiamenguan!" As soon as His Majesty Yongming finished speaking, the expressions of three people changed immediately.

The first one, and the second one, of course, are the old faces of the Minister of the Household and the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Your Majesty, recruiting [-] soldiers within ten days... this may cause public resentment!"

"Your Majesty, the matter of conscription cannot be rushed!"

Facing these two somewhat pedantic Confucian ministers, His Majesty Yongming's methods are also very iron-fisted, "The current dynasty is surrounded by enemies, and the frontline soldiers are bleeding to protect an inch of land. Shouldn't these passionate men go up and do their best for the country? Is it a force? I don’t believe it. Tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Tianzhou have recruited less than [-] men to serve as soldiers? If anyone obstructs them, they will be punished as treason and killed directly!”

"What!" After the voice fell, all the officials were shocked, iron fist, no, this is already iron-blooded, if someone obstructs, it will be punished as treason!

"Your Majesty..." The Confucian officials were shocked immediately: "Your Majesty, this matter..."

"If you continue to obstruct it, you will be punished as treason!" His Majesty Yongming's voice suddenly increased: "If the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War can't do this, all of you, up and down, don't do it. Level one, waiting to go home and find a job!"

"This..." Faced with the panic of the officials and the rare fortitude and iron fist of the young His Majesty Yongming, all the people were walking on eggshells, fearful and sincere.Only one person wanted to scold her, and he was also one of the three people whose expressions changed just now——Qin Guyue.

What Qin Guyue wants is soldiers, well-trained soldiers, not recruits. Qin Guyue really can't imagine that if a farmer who was holding a hoe ten days ago, would he not be able to face the army of Yunzhong? Will pee my pants.

Give him [-] recruits who were peasants ten days ago, apart from scrapping the hundreds of knights' broadswords and sabers of the Knights Templar in Yunzhong, is there any use for you?

But he can't blatantly swear in this Qiankun Temple, and he can't just say directly, I don't want peasants for the soldiers you trained for me?Looking at His Majesty Yongming again, he looks like, I did my best for you, you see, there are no soldiers, and I took the risk of a civil uprising to recruit a hundred thousand recruits for you, it is not easy for me... You don’t want it, you don’t want it I won't give it up!

With such an attitude of not wanting to fight, Qin Guyue felt very helpless for him, so she could only kneel down, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, I will definitely train my army in the northwest and recover Jiamen Pass as soon as possible. "

Qin Guyue and Yue Guogong, one is in the northeast, the other is in the northwest, and the other is determined to die. Once Haishanguan is lost, both father and son will die for the country immediately. Qin Guyue is fine, just say a word Saying: "I will train my army well and take back Jiamen Pass as soon as possible." To put it bluntly, Jiamen Pass has been lost, and I will try my best. Anyway, as long as the battle situation does not become corrupted to the point where it cannot be seen at all, Qin Guyue does not need to worry at all. own wealth and life.

When some Confucian officials privately criticized Qin Guyue for not being loyal enough, our Qin Guyue wanted to spray them all in the face with saliva. Look at what kind of soldiers Yue Guogong is leading, where is the Hundred Thousand Yingtian Army?What about me, I take one hundred thousand peasant soldiers to Jiamen Pass, is it easy for me? "

But no matter whether Qin Guyue accepts it or not, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War have started to move crazily since the morning of that day. Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Qin Guyue. Then he set off, and followed Yue Guogong Gao Changgong and Lanling Hou Gaohu all the way to the northeast, Qin Guyue also came back to pack up, gave Qin Aofeng a few instructions, and then set off for the northwest.

His Majesty Yongming then led the Habayashi Guards towards Zhennan Pass.

At the same time, on the banks of the Luoshui River, the mighty Qin family's army, dressed in black and armor, flew flying with the sea of ​​clouds and golden bow battle flags. One by one camps are already under construction. There are also a few battle flags with the word "Qian" in seal script. This is the team brought by Qianjia and Qianxunxue.

On the other side of Luoshui, you can already see the barbaric lion flag with the word "Chu" erected by the Great Chu Army, and the blood-red "Yan" flag, which was Yan Wujun's trump card when he conquered Baiyue: Yan's army, and Known as the Fudo Mountain Army, its status is equivalent to the Qin Family Army of the Shengtian Dynasty.Now that Yan Wujun has usurped the throne and became the emperor of the Great Chu, the status of this Fudoshan Army has also risen, and it has firmly sat on the throne of the number one ace army of the Great Chu.I don't know whether Yan Wujun did it on purpose, or whether the Fudo Mountain Army was fighting in the front line, so they came to the bank of Luoshui.

The two branches of the two imperial courts are known as the number one ace divisions, and they are lined up on both sides of Luoshui, like two savage beasts ready to attack, facing each other.

Almost at the same time, a dynasty was engaged in a arduous war in four directions at the same time. Almost every war could determine the future of the Shengtian Dynasty.

Of course, this may also be the future of Qin Guyue and the entire Qin family.
