Outside the palace.
The commander-in-chief of Prince Yan, Prince Yong Yan, and the Cavalry led his troops to surround the place.
The entrance of the palace was full of corpses.
A small part of them are the corpses of the Tang army, and most of them are the corpses of the Yan army. They have also been involved in some grassland cavalry.
The sacred cavalry did not participate in the whole battle.
The only opponent in their eyes was Datang Zhongqi, and now that Zhongqi was resolved, they would paddle and watch the show all the way.
Although the battle at the gate of the palace was not as fierce as the previous roadway battles, and the ordinary arms of Datang were not as difficult to deal with by heavy cavalry, but the soldiers of the State of Yan who had been scared by heavy cavalry were facing far fewer soldiers than their own. At the time, he was still trembling.
It can be said that this battle was extremely ugly!
Prince Yan was already desperate.
More desperately, he failed to save his father, the Emperor of Dayan.
From the perspective of a prince, the death of his father is a great good thing, because it means that he can successfully assume the throne, and the other princes of the Yan Kingdom simply can't snatch him, the prince's ascension to the throne will be feng shui.
However, from the perspective of a country, the death of a monarch in a war is a devastating blow to the confidence of the people.
Originally, I was quite jealous of Datang. Now that even the emperor was killed by Tang Jun, how could he fight Datang
Surrender as soon as possible.
Yong Yan patted Prince Yan on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Although Emperor Yan is dead, his heroic soul will guide the Kingdom of Yan to move forward. Only by completely destroying the Tang Dynasty can we be worthy of the Emperor Yan. In the spirit of heaven!"
Prince Yan nodded: "I care about it."
After that, he motioned to his personal guard to shout at the palace.
However, before the guard could speak, Guo Zhenying walked out under the escort of several soldiers.
Guo Zhenying's steps are extremely steady, and his face is quite determined. It is completely invisible that he is the one being surrounded, and those who don't know think he has a great advantage.
Looking at the corpse of her soldier, Guo Zhenying's expression still remained unchanged. Although there was a slight sadness in her eyes, it quickly disappeared.
The adjutant pulled out the sharp blade at his waist and said to Guo Zhenying: "General, I'll go up first."
Guo Zhenying smiled: "You are one step ahead, and I will come later."
The adjutant laughed loudly, led the last few soldiers, and rushed forward brazenly.
They are brave, they are fierce, but they are human after all.
After killing ten people, the adjutant and the Tang Jun also fell one after another.
At this point, Tang Jun in Jicheng was the only one left with Guo Zhenying.
His face finally changed, and he sighed softly.
Prince Yan looked at this cutting-edge general of Datang, trying to see a trace of panic from him.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any negative emotions in Guo Zhenying's body.
He is like thousands of people in Tang Dynasty, no matter what scene he faces, he is still extremely proud.
Yong Yan's mood is also very complicated.
The whole plan was made by him.
Yong Yan also knew that Datang Zhongqi was great, so he was ready to pay a huge price.
But he never expected that the price would be too great.
The military power of Jicheng was directly consumed by this battle by two-thirds!
The steppe cavalry he brought also lost a third in this battle.
Even if it’s a powerful cavalry, it’s a heavy cavalry.
In the duel, they are also at a disadvantage.
The death of the two hundred god cavalrymen was just a resounding slap on the face of the temple.
It also hit Yong Yan's face.
Yong Yan subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, there was a stab wound here.
If it weren't for the Great Tang Zhongqi who slashed him at the end of the crossbow, this knife might have killed him.
But as long as he thinks of the look in that Tang Zhongqi's eyes when he rushes towards him, Yong Yan will feel a little bit cold.
He thought he had seen the most fierce and ruthless group of people in the world, until he saw this great Tang Zhongqi, Yong Yan realized that he still saw less after all.
Winning this time was a lot of luck.
But having said that, no matter how great the price paid, they will still be the winner, right
Therefore, it should be happy.
This is the biggest loss Datang has encountered since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This battle is a battle to change the pattern of the Great Wilderness, and it is a battle that can be recorded in the annals of history!
Yong Yan quickly cleared up his mind, and once again turned his gaze to Guo Zhenying who was ahead.
Guo Zhenying didn't look at him, but instead focused on Prince Yan's body.
"How do you feel?" Guo Zhenying asked.
It was a bit inexplicable at first to hear this, but the subtext in Guo Zhenying's words, Prince Yan couldn't be more clear.
He wanted to ask himself how it felt to be a betrayer.
Prince Yan also walked out of the grief of losing his father, at least showed that he walked out, and restored the grace that a prince should have: "It feels good."
"It seems that Marshal Meng is right, the Yan people are born with an aversion." Guo Zhenying said.
"Heh." The prince Yan retorted: "This is really a great irony from what you said in the mouth of the Tang people! For hundreds of years, my great country of Yan has struggled to survive under the power of your Tang country, and the Tang army can do whatever it wants. Entering the forbidden land of my Yan Nation, your generals can scream at my father and emperor at will. The king of a country is in your eyes, and even a farmer is inferior. If we say that we have rebellious bones, it is also forced by your Tang army!"
"Really high-sounding rhetoric." Guo Zhenying said contemptuously: "It directly obliterated Datang's help to you, and focused on the trivial details. Datang's goodness to you over the years seems to have been wasted. I knew it earlier. If you are like this, you might as well raise a dog so that you won't bite the owner back."
Prince Yan's face was pale: "We are not slaves of the Tang Dynasty."
"Then you are now going to be King Jin Zuo's slave, or are you going to be the dog of the temple?" Guo Zhenying said: "Datang wants you to be human, you don't want it."
"You..." The prince Yan was furious, but he couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, his face flushed.
At this time, Yong Yan stood up, he took the conversation, and said: "General Guo is indeed a eloquent person as described in the rumors."
Guo Zhenying glanced at Yong Yan, but didn't bother to talk to him.
Yong Yan didn't care, and continued: "But does General Guo think that Yan Ren's will can be destroyed with a few words? Now that victory is held in our hands, no matter how sharp the words are, they seem extremely pale.
After hearing this description, Guo Zhenying sighed again: "You are right, we still lost after all."
There was a smile on Yong Yan's face that a victor would have, "So General Guo is no better than trying to speak."
Guo Zhenying said lightly: "I'm just explaining the facts.
. "
"General Guo, for the sake of you and your soldiers being so brave, I will give you a dignity, you can kill yourself." Yong Yan said.
Prince Yan's eyes widened in an instant. As the culprit who killed his father, Prince Yan could not wait to put Guo Zhenying's skin cramped to death and then hang his head on the wall of Jicheng to show the public for seven or forty-nine days!
Guo Zhenying said: "I will definitely die, but before I die, there are still a few questions. If you can, I might as well answer them? Anyway, I can't send the news back. You have the right to satisfy my personal curiosity, how about? "
Prince Yan hurriedly said: "You don't have to tell him this, give him to me, the people of Yan need his head!"
Yong Yan waved his hand and said to Guo Zhenying, "I don't know what General Guo would like to ask?"
Prince Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
It turned out that whether he was facing Datang or Yong Yan, he couldn't get the respect he deserved.
But I can do nothing if I want to understand, the wheels of war have already started, and they cannot stop unless they collapse.
"Why do you cooperate?" Guo Zhenying asked.
Yong Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Guo Zhenying's first question to be so... stupid.
With Guo Zhenying's wisdom, asking such a question is really staggering.
"Because in your eyes, there has never been another country." Prince Yan helped Yong Yan answer this question, "People who are not from my tribe will have different hearts. Although the academy is said to have no class, although the Imperial College of Tang Dynasty will absorb other countries. Students, although your court will also absorb officials from other countries, you are dissipating the concept of the homeland in these people's minds. All foreigners will become Chinese after a few years in the Tang Dynasty, and have nothing to do with their homeland. Feelings."
"If things go on like this, our talents will become those of Datang, our national power will become weaker and weaker, and we will eventually become puppets of Datang. No country wants to become a vassal of other countries, so we have to resist and we have to overthrow it. Don!"
These words were thrilling and powerful.
But Guo Zhenying saw a guilty conscience on Prince Yan's face.
It shows that he also knows that these words sound high-sounding, but in fact they lack confidence.
Guo Zhenying thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I agree with your logic for the time being, but cooperate with him? Your mind is okay."
After that, Guo Zhenying pointed to Yong Yan: "A dog who lost his family, a domestic slave with three surnames, a garbage that was abandoned by his own homeland, abandoned by the Taoist, and lingering on the grassland, will become your partner. I have to doubt you. What is in my mind, is it all water?"
Yong Yan smiled faintly, and said: "Guo's method is a bit too obscene. This kind of divorce is so funny to me. As for your evaluation of me, I won't make excuses, because you Chinese people I have never looked down on other countries. Thinking about it the other way round, I should feel proud to be able to get such a high'commendation' from General Guo."
Guo Zhenying said: "I still underestimate you after all, Prince Yong Yan."
"Thank you," Yong Yan said.
Guo Zhenying said: "The last question, Prince Yan, you have blocked your own back road completely. Haven't you thought about how crazy my Datang revenge will be if you fail? It's not just revenge for you. There is also revenge against the entire Yan Kingdom. At that time, it wasn't just as simple as dying an emperor, the entire Yan Kingdom would be flattened by my Datang Tieqi!"
