Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 524 Breaking Through Two Cities in One Day

Day two.

The sky is clear.

However, Jing Guo's army really didn't attack Manhuang, but bypassed Manhuang and marched towards Pingshui City.

Deadwood Changju is very high-spirited.

Pingshui City is the city he conquered. Although others have left, the reputation is still there. Although Shen Guo rebuilt Pingshui City, when the army of Jing State arrived, the new Pingshui City, which was half built, was empty again. People ran away overnight.

There is an empty half-new city left.

The army of Jing State entered Pingshui City without bloodshed, and without even catching a fool, they directly entered Pingshui City and occupied Pingshui City in less than an hour.

Pingshui City changed hands.

Shen Guo's peony flower flag was torn down, and Jing Guo's battle flag was inserted.

Skeletons and knives flutter in the wind.

The next city under Pingshui City is Tongtian City.

The city is famous for a high mountain standing at the gate of the city.

This mountain is majestic, and its top is covered in fog all year round, just like the Tianshan Mountains. According to legend, there are immortals on the top of the mountain, but no one has climbed to the top.

In addition to the high mountain, Tongtian City also has fertile soil for thousands of miles, which is the biggest difference from the wilderness. The soil here can be used to grow crops, and the harvest is excellent every year.

The grain produced is not only large in quantity, but also sweet, and is very popular with dignitaries in Shencheng.

The people of Tongtian City can live a very good life by growing grain, after all, it is natural that God rewards food.

But this year, when we were sowing, there were several heavy rains, and the seeds that finally emerged were washed away by the heavy rain, and the seedlings planted again were also uneven. After a while, they did not grow vigorously. Be more careful to protect the surviving grain seedlings.

If the harvest is not good, the price of rice this year will naturally be higher.

Fortunately, their rice is sold to nobles in Shencheng, so it should not worry about selling it if it is expensive.

The people of Tongtian City went out to farm early in the morning as usual, but the officials of Tongtian City did not start their work as usual.

Tongtian City is considered a small city, and the biggest official is the county magistrate.

Thanks to the Tianshan Mountain at the gate of the city, Tongtian City has always been very safe, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But he received a letter from his teacher asking him to open the city gate.

County Magistrate Liu was able to become an official in Tongtian City, all thanks to his teacher's cultivation.

But now, the teacher asked him to open the city gate to meet the enemy.

He looked at the letter, the letter he received last night, the people of Jing country will come today.

The ink on the letter has been dry for a long time, and it is not new, which means that it has been written for a long time, and it also means that his teacher has long known that the army of Jing Guo is coming.

He wrote a letter and put it in his pocket. He wore a new official uniform, which is his official uniform. He usually wears two clothes for changing and washing. When he wears it, it is still like new.

Then he found a rope and put it on the beam. He climbed onto the stool and put his neck in. When the stool kicked, there was a "clang".

One pair of legs wobbling...

……

Shen Guochaotang.

The court today is very serious.

Everyone knew that Jing Jun was coming.

Those people were arguing a lot the day before yesterday, saying that they should take a long-term plan and let the Jing army fight against the barbarian for a period of time. From their point of view, even if all the barbarian people are dead, as long as they can fight for them for a period of time, it is worthwhile. , just fell in the wilderness, that would be great.

But today, Emperor Jing had already bypassed the wilderness and occupied Pingshui City. By the time of Shen Kingdom's early dynasty, Pingshui City had become the city of Jing State.

Jing Jun continued to go south, heading towards Tongtian City.

The hall is very quiet.

But someone has to talk.

But no one wants to come forward at this time.

After all, the officials of the Ministry of War had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Tongtian City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since ancient times, no one has been able to force it into Tongtian Mountain. Even Jing Yujia's personal conquest is wishful thinking. It will take at least several days of Jinghuang's time, maybe We must stop at the gate of Tongtian City."

There is the first beginning, and after that, there are different opinions, and they are clear and logical, analyzing the steepness of Tongtian Mountain in Tongtian City, historical battles, and so on.

Li Pingan looked at the quarrels among the officials, and was in full swing. He didn't understand why these people were arguing at this time. Shouldn't they send troops northward to prepare for the battle?

Just as the officials were arguing, another news came.

The city of Tongtian is broken...

All the officials were shocked.

Shenhuang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.

He was so angry that he forgot about his leg problem.

He just stood up like this.

Stand still.

"Why did Tongtian City break down, and how did Emperor Jing break down the city?" Shen Huangyu asked loudly.

His voice was hoarse because of the shock.

After asking, he realized belatedly that he actually stood up.

He sat on the chair for so long, always afraid that his legs would be crippled, but he didn't expect to stand up like this.

He was surprised and delighted that his legs were fine.

But then I heard the courtier kneeling in the hall say in shame: "Tongtian City, the gate of Tongtian City opened by itself, and Liu Shu, the magistrate of Tongtian City, overflowed to death."

Shenhuang fell back to the dragon chair.

Fortunately, Li Pingan still had a wink, and he knew to support his father.

At that moment just now, Emperor Shen almost fainted again.

The end of morning chaos.

Emperor Shen's legs seemed to be able to walk, but the army of Jing State captured two cities of Shen State within one day without a single soldier...

Emperor Shen simply didn't understand why.

At this rate, the State of Shen will soon be destroyed.

He panicked, and hurriedly sent people to Xiguo to ask for help, and at the same time called Wang Aiqing to give him advice.

Li Pingan was also panicked, he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing after he became the prince.

The state of Jing invaded, and the emperor of Jing personally conquered the state, and the whole country attacked the state of Shen.

And Shen Guo, who has always been proud, is so vulnerable.

Breaking through two cities in one day, if it continues like this in the future, it will soon reach Shencheng.

He was very scared, but after he came down to court, he still followed the rules and went to the Zhaohe Palace of the empress to pay his respects.

Now that the little princess is not here, neither is Luo Fei, so Li Pingan's routine is like this.

He is very low-key and small, and he is very obedient in front of Xiao Zhao.

Even if Empress Xiao Zhao pointed out the concubine's daughter as the side concubine and an ordinary-looking daughter of the censor as the crown prince, he didn't complain at all.

Today when he arrived at Zhaohe Palace, unexpectedly, Empress Xiao Zhao was waiting for him to eat.

Li Pingan had lunch in the Zhaohe Palace tremblingly, and after hearing Xiao Zhao, he asked, "If Emperor Jing breaks through Shencheng, what will you do?"

Li Pingan was startled, how could it be possible.

But this is the problem of the empress.

He thought for a while and said: "I don't know, I dare not think that there will be such a day, if Shencheng is breached, then the imperial city will not be there, and I am afraid that I will have to die. Fortunately, the imperial sister Yiren If you go to Xi Country, there will always be no problem."

Empress Xiao Zhao was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with this answer.

After lunch, she sent Li Pingan to rest.

She herself went to the hot spring house.

In the past, there was a dumb girl Ah Rong who served her, but now there is no one to serve her. The people who served her were all driven outside by Empress Xiao Zhao, and Empress Xiao Zhao was the only one in the house.

She blushed her body, looked at herself in the mirror in front of the misty pool, her figure was still very graceful, she turned around, turned around again, and fell happily in front of the mirror , there is a charming woman in the mirror, who is also circling.

When she came to the front, the woman in the mirror suddenly found that she had white hair on her forehead, and there was a whole piece of white hair.

She took a few steps back in shock, then leaned her head over again.

Really white hair... like frost and snow, she was suddenly frightened, what should I do.

She couldn't remember how many years she had been in the palace, but she only remembered the year she entered the palace, when she had just grown up, and at that time, her black hair on her forehead was like oil.
