Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 182

Wen Zhengting, who had no idea that he had interrupted His Majesty Qisi, broke out in a cold sweat - His Majesty didn't go out at all, how did he know that there was no one behind him?He lowered his body even lower, and said with shame: "Several people were seized at the west gate. They mixed with the victims and wanted to leave the city, and they were recognized. One of them was the long history of the original governor's yamen who was in charge of the grain depot. Soldiers After they were captured, they were caught off guard for a while, and they all committed suicide by taking poison, and the minister was ineffective, please forgive me."

Qin Changge got up, went out and asked how Wen Zhengting and the others died, came back and smiled at Xiao Jue, and said, "I never thought that the three guesses that day were all hit."

The secret agents of the Northern Wei Dynasty bought the Chang Shi with a lot of money and smuggled all the grain in the disaster relief grain warehouse to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Li Han needed to borrow the power of Min Randao, so he naturally turned a blind eye to this matter. Chang Shi was full of calculations When Li Han entered the capital, the imperial court was overwhelmed, and there was no food in Youzhou, and no one paid attention to it. I didn't want Qin Changge to act vigorously and quell the civil war at a speed that caught people off guard. Relief was needed immediately, and the grain depot was empty and there was no food for relief. Chang Shi was in a hurry, and under the instigation of the Northern Wei spies and the remnants of the Cao family who wanted to make trouble, they set fire to the warehouse. A shocking riot that almost killed Feihuan.

Xiao Jue, who had sorted out the ins and outs, had a gloomy face and looked in the direction of Wei Guo with deep eyes, and after a long while, he sneered.

"Wei Shi, hurry up and count the days to be your king, my bileu horse is waiting to use your royal stables!"

In September of the fourth year of Qianyuan, after experiencing famine, civil war, civil upheaval, and riots, Youzhou City once again ushered in its inescapable destiny as a frontier town. On September 80th, Emperor Xiao Jue of Xiliang led [-] troops Wan, Yujia personally marched, led by Wang Yuzixi of Jing'an as the vanguard, named Zhao Moyan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as General Jianling, raised the horse to Queshang Mountain on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and swore to the Northern Expedition.

It's that day, the plain is in autumn, the green is like washing, and the wind is blowing, 80 men are silent, like a steel dragon, winding endlessly above the plain, the sunlight reflects the cold light of the steel blade, and there is an ocean-like scene. Shen Ning thick black gold color.

80 people stayed silent in the field, 80 pairs of eyes witnessed the emperor of the empire, in the golden wind of late autumn, wearing a black robe and a golden armor, riding a gallop, the field was vast, and the sun was as bright as broken gold. The majestic rosy clouds are the cloak, crowned by the blazing sun, the heroic appearance is fierce, dazzling, like a black sword, thunderbolts pass through the front of the army, everyone holds their breath, and see the young emperor of the empire, heading straight for the border between the two countries , standing on the horse, raised his head, and shook the black long whip wrapped with gold silk in the wind, drawing a flowing arc in the dazzling sunlight. Solid Rock Boundary!
The Xiliang Emperor, who was full of pride and passion, laughed loudly, and the wind was sharp, and he came straight from the ground.

The wind and thunder, accompanied by the sound of the whip and the long laughter, crossed the vast land of Neichuan, stirred up a storm of iron and blood, and weighed heavily on the sky of Kyushu.

Pointing at the point of the snow knife, driving northward, the 80 Xiliang army, with the posture of a raging fire and a sharp sword, cut open the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty that has been quiet for a long time but now has a dark tide. .

In September of the fourth year of Qianyuan, in autumn, frost and snow condensed on the tip of the grass in the north, and thousands of miles of garrisons were united.With hesitation in his heart, he rushed out of the dust cage, and the man with the golden crown on Gaogang waved freely, composing a dream of generosity in his chest.

Since then, the prelude to Xiliang's domination of the world and the conquest of the six kingdoms began.

On September [-]th of the fourth year of Qianyuan, Dingyang Pass.

September is already winter in the north, and the wind blows the cool and refreshing breath of frost flowers. In front of Dingyang Pass, under the scorching sun, Xiao Jue's golden crown and armor are shining like a god, and Qin Changge is beside him with great enthusiasm: "I almost died here back then, but you saved me...do you remember?"

Qin Changge nodded with a smile, his gaze pierced through the clouds, and he saw that at the end of the clouds and smoke, in the scenes of the beacons of blood and fire, the glamorous girl was turning around from memory with a chuckle, and gave her a bright smile.

In the smile, the past unfolds in full swing, rising in the boundless time, and then falling slowly, the gesture of opening and thanking is mature and elegant, just like the road to the next life.

Xiao Jue stared at her deeply, his eyes full of emotions, the ancient life-saving tree back then, is it still there now?Is the blood stain still visible in the blood-stained tree hole?Those tree trunks pierced with countless arrow holes, will the wind sing with emotion when passing through those lonely holes?

He also wanted to draw his sword and sing in the midst of the windy and frosty flowers in this foreign country, turning all these thousands of ambitions and infinite affection into a desolate song, and sharing it with the beloved woman around him.

His singing is written in his eyes, those eyes are as bright as snow, the harsh wind and sand cannot wash away the deep light in the soul, and some burning emotions will never fade away.

He smiled, drew his sword, and the sword glowed like a rainbow, pointing straight to the sky.

"Tonight, let's go to Dingyang!"

The army, shouting like a tide, and raising dust to cover the sun, attacked Dingyang Pass unstoppably with a blatant attitude. The city wall was already resisting the weak, and even large-scale lethal weapons such as catapults were not used. At that time, at the head of Dingyang city, the imperial flag of the golden dragon on the black background of Xiliang was already flying.

Under the banner of the emperor, the heroic man gently stroked the mottled city wall, and said sadly: "There used to be a city wall where you and I leaned together, and under the city wall you pushed me to let that bowl of millet rice... Changge, I have never eaten that bowl of rice in my life..." Such a delicious meal.”

Pressing the city wall with her hands, Qin Changge looked at the distant mountain where the setting sun was like blood, and the mountain was filled with a thin mist, and it became greener and greener. She smiled slightly, and said with nostalgia: "The things that have passed, because you can't Coming back will always be better than what it is now.”

Her eyes fell far below the city tower, in front of an ancient tree, a seductive man in red was smiling and stroking the tree that had lost its canopy long ago.

His posture was gentle, as if he was afraid of breaking an eternal memory frozen in time, one by one, he stroked those arrow holes that seemed to have been solidified into fossils.

Is he still remembering the tragic bloody battle back then?

Under Qin Changge's eyes, he suddenly made a throwing posture, just like many years ago, he bit his black hair between his teeth, raised a long and bright knife, and rushed to kill before a blood moon. Throw the head of the fake king of Wei like a thunderbolt.

Qin Changge's eyes flickered like water waves, and then he saw the alluring man looking back, and suddenly smiled at her on the tower.

His heart was shocked, but his face didn't move at all. Qin Changge also responded with a gentle smile, polite and distanced.

Withdrawing his eyes and leaving the stack, Qin Changge said leisurely: "The road ahead is not over, people's hearts are unpredictable..."

On September 21, the fourth year of Qianyuan, under Yucheng.

On September 23, the fourth year of Qianyuan, under the Acropolis.

On September 27th in the fourth year of Qianyuan, under Liancheng.

In just ten days, the Xiliang army conquered Yucheng, Weicheng, Liancheng, and Changcheng on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty all the way. The generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, trying to preserve their strength, stood still. They seemed to have never heard of the conscription orders issued by the Northern Wei court to resist captives. They watched the young God of War in Xiliang. The long knife slowly walked over the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Wherever it passed, the mountains and rivers changed color, and the vegetation was low.

Until that day, the black-clothed emperor, the red-robed county king, and the graceful young general raised their heads in the bloody wind, only to realize that they had already attacked the largest city between the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the rich hinterland.

The heavy city of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Ducheng.

The city gates, which are taller and wider than ordinary cities, and the black archers on the battlements of the towers, show that the opponent has been preparing for a long time and is ready for battle.

On the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was finally a city like a tiger. With a tough posture, it opened its ferocious mouth to the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang army, which has passed all the way, has no disadvantages, and its long-distance drive has finally come to a halt in Ducheng-Shen Shao, the bravest general under Yu Zixi's command, attacked Ducheng twice in succession, but failed to capture it.

Long before the Xiliang army approached Ducheng, Li Denglong, the guard who stayed behind in Ducheng, implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, abandoning the outer cities, concentrating the surrounding defenders and food, and defending Ducheng with all his strength.

They abandoned all the nearby towns that were not necessary to hold on to, took away all that could be taken away, burned all that could not be taken away, cut off the upper water source, poured a large amount of poison and dirt into all the wells along the way, and threw such things as women's filth and obscenity. Clothes and other sundries, rotten clothes of ambiguous colors floating on the smelly water surface, make people nauseous.

Xiao Jue asked people to choose a new place to dig the well, but this place is the north after all, and the water source is scarce. The water dug out is not only small, but also has a slight smell, and diarrhea will occur after drinking it to animals. Qin Changge is afraid of the impact of a large amount of drugs injected into the well. They had no connection to the groundwater source, so they did not dare to use it.

This brought some difficulties to the Xiliang army—because it gradually penetrated into the hinterland of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the supply line was stretched too long, and the ration of 80 troops was an astonishing number, so Yu Zixi ordered to rob and cut off half of the land every time he went. Xiao Jue and Qin Changge both expressed their opposition. Xiao Jue believed that this would arouse the hatred of the people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which would be detrimental to the march of the army. Qin Changge has always been broad-minded and never The concept of one family and one country, in her opinion, sooner or later the world will belong to Xiliang, so sooner or later the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty will also be our people. If the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty are bullied, it will be troublesome to comfort them in the future, so the two agreed to cut half Leave half.

Now that Ducheng has come to such a hand, the food is somewhat threatened, and the most important thing is the water source. It is terrible that the 80 army has no water.
