At the beginning of Mao's time, the sky just revealed the white belly of the fish, and everything appeared so comfortable and quiet. The soldiers standing guard on the city wall became sleepy and couldn't help but hit Hatch.
Seeing the black and black area slowly approaching in the distance, the soldier rubbed his eyes, then coughed loudly and shouted: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming."
The tranquility of the city wall was suddenly broken, and soon many soldiers rushed up under the city wall.
After noon, the Northwest Army broke through the gate and planted its flag on the city wall of Xingzhou.
In the evening, Zaozao stood in front of Yun Qing and Qi Hao covered in blood and said, "These people in the court are really useless. They raise their hands and surrender before they fight." Yun Qing killed the captives in his last life because he was right. The North Abductees have a deep hatred. Under Yuxi's influence in this life, Yun Qing never killed any prisoner. This is also good, that is, the soldiers and horses of the court know that the Northwest Army will not kill the prisoners, and will not resist when confronted with them, and surrender very neatly.
Yun Qing said: "This is not a good thing? They surrendered, there is no harm." If these people resist to the end, they will definitely cause some casualties.
Qi Hao said: "Sister, you should go and wash first. If you have any words, I will talk later." The smell of blood made him feel uncomfortable.
Zaozao smiled and said, "Ahao, how are you so particular about how to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future?"
Qi Hao said lightly: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." In his capacity, even if he wanted to fight against the enemy like Zao Zao, his parents would not allow it.
Zaozao smiled and said, "I can't tell you. Okay, I'm going to change my clothes now."
When he captured Xingzhou, Yun Qing did not stop, but led his army to attack Shimen. It was Zhou Chuang, the Hebei General Soldier who guarded Shimen.
News of Xingzhou's defeat soon spread to Shimen, and Zhou Chuang's expression was ugly. He also knew that Xingzhou couldn't keep it, but he expected to keep it for ten and a half days. As a result, Xingzhou was captured in only half a day.
The dozen or so generals present didn't say a word, and none of these people was stunned when they mentioned Yun Qing. The fierce Northern Captives are not King Ming’s opponents. They were beaten by King Ming to hide in the depths of the grassland. Nowhere are they opponents of King Ming. It's just a well-known thing, but no one dared to bring it up. Otherwise, Zhou Chuang could not spare them.
Seeing that none of the people present said anything, Zhou Chuang said, "Xingzhou is captured, and Yun Qing's next target must be Shimen. Do you have any good ideas?"
No matter how good the idea is, it is useless against Ming Wang who is known as the god of war.
Zhou Chuang was on fire, but the Fa didn't blame the others, could it be possible to scold everyone. In addition, we have to rely on the people present to fight the war. If you want to scold fiercely, these people are all picking their children, so there is no need to fight this battle, and they directly hand over Shimen.
After saying a few words, Zhou Chuang let everyone go back. Sitting on the chair, Zhou Huan's expression was a little gray and defeated, and said, "This battle is already lost without having to fight."
Zhou Ang said: "The King of Ming uses soldiers like a god, and it is normal for the generals to feel a little timid."
Zhou Chuang smiled bitterly: "In fact, everyone knows that Shimen can't be defended. But if you do not fight, you will be ashamed of this armor." The emperor knew this too, otherwise Zhou Ang would not be allowed to lie to him.
Zhou Ang knew that Zhou Chuang felt uncomfortable: "General, the general trend cannot be reversed by an individual." King Ming won the hearts of the people, and the emperor could not win him.
When Zhou Fan heard this, he sighed: "The emperor is ready to withdraw to Liaodong. Now he can withdraw to Liaodong, but where can he withdraw to in the future?" One day, King Ming will lead his troops to attack Liaodong.
Zhou Ang did not answer.
Zhou Chuang also knew that it was meaningless: "You said that the emperor asked you to pretend to take refuge in King Ming, what is the intention?"
Zhou Ang shook his head and said, "I don't know." Yan Wushuang only asked Zhou Ang to seek refuge with King Ming. As for what he wanted him to do, he didn't understand now.
Zhou Chuang knew that Yan Wushuang had always wanted Yun Qing to die, so he thought about it and said to Zhou Ang, "Zhou Ang, if the emperor wants you to do something that hurts the world, you must not agree to it."
Zhou Ang was taken aback.
At this juncture, Zhou Fan didn't have any scruples: "The emperor suffered a tragic family change in his childhood, and then he went through a lot of things, which made his behavior somewhat extreme." This is a relatively tactful statement. Yan Wushuang would rather me take the world, not the world.
Zhou Ang said: "I guess the emperor wants me to find an opportunity to assassinate King Ming."
Zhou Chuang said, "If the emperor asks you to assassinate King Ming, do it. If you do something that hurts the world, you must never agree to it. Zhou Ang, there are some things you can do, and some things you can't do. You must do that. remember."
Hearing this was not quite right, Zhou Ang said: "General, you..." How did it sound like an explanation of his last words
Zhou Chuang held the sword at his waist and whispered: "The city is here, and the city is dead." He is going to guard Shimen to the death. Unable to hold back, he would rather commit suicide than retreat to the capital.
Zhou Ang was shocked: "Great General, absolutely can't, I'm not afraid that I won't have firewood to stay in the green hills."
Zhou Chuang shook his head and said, "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I'm determined." He would rather stand to die than retreat. This is his life creed.
The good news from Xingzhou soon reached Gaocheng, and Yuxi was used to Yun Qing's victory. After receiving the news, he smiled and put the good news aside to continue to deal with the matter.
After Yuxi finished handling the matter, Meilan said with a smile: "Wang Hao, the prince won a battle, how about celebrating it too."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "It won't be too late to celebrate after taking the capital." She hopes that Yun Qing can make a quick battle, knowing that if this battle is delayed for a day, it will cost an extra day of money. Every day's expenses are a large sum of money.
Seeing this, Meilan didn't speak any more.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Let Mama Bai cook two more dishes, and I will have dinner with Liuer in the evening." Yun Qing and the others are not at home, and the triplets are in the military camp. Mama Bai has a lot of free time during this time. But she was not idle either, she had been making all kinds of pickles.
Within two days, the news of Yun Qing's victory reached Qianweiying. When Brother Xuan and Brother You were going to Xu Zhen's place for dinner, they heard the soldiers saying things like "Our army is like a broken bamboo" and "The enemy can't become an army" on the road.
Brother Xuan said to Brother You: "Ayou, did Dad win the battle? That's why General Xu asked us to eat." Brother Xuan and Brother You are separated into two teams, but they still have the same board and lodging. .
No way, Brother You is really not used to Datongpu. Then bit his scalp and stayed for three days, but didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, and then fainted on the training ground.
Brother You nodded and said, "It should be!" Apart from this reason, Brother You couldn't find any other reason.
When Xu Zhen lived, the two brothers saw Brother Rui. After spending a year in the army, Brother Rui has grown stronger and darker than before.
Brother Rui bared his white teeth and said with a smile: "Axuan, Ayou, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Brother Xuan was eager to go home on vacation, but Xu Zhen didn't give it away. Brother Rui didn't want to go back because he had a fake. He wanted to stay in the barracks twelve hours a day.
While eating, Xu Zhen said with a smile on his face: "The prince has taken Xingzhou, do you know the news?" Yun Qing won the battle and everyone was happy.
Brother Rui said with a gloomy look: "I heard, but unfortunately I can't go with Dad." Brother Rui was very resentful about this. The eldest sister can be on the battlefield at the age of twelve, but he can't.
Xu Zhen laughed and said: "Your Majesty, as long as you learn your skills, you won't have the chance to do meritorious service in the future."
Although they have a high status, they eat two more eggs for three meals in the army than others. The chickens, ducks, and fish were all on the table. The triplets were not polite, and they ate with their stomachs open, but they were overwhelmed.
Xu Zhen laughed straightly: "When I'm training, just run two more laps."
On the way back, Xuan Ge'er said: "Die, my mother must be very happy after Dad won the battle. You said that if I ask to go back now, will my mother agree?"
Brother You gave a blank look at Brother Xuan, and said, "When did you see your mother betray your father? The result of your letter will only make us stay in the army longer."
After that, Brother You added another sentence: "I'm telling you that I will stay with you until the end of the year at most. If you haven't let Dad let go, I will go home." He didn't want to stay in the army either. Not afraid of hardship, but the food here is terrible. He missed the food at home and the various snacks on the market.
Brother Xuan was very depressed.
Yan Wushuang knew that Xingzhou had fallen in the shortest time, so he buckled the Zhezi heavily on the royal table: "I lost Xingzhou in only half a day. Lin Fang is innocent to die." Lin Fangtian was Xingzhou's guard.
Hearing these words, Meng Nian warned carefully: "The emperor, Lin Fangtian has been killed in battle." Lin Fangtian was Zhou Chuang's subordinate and had been with Zhou Chuang for more than ten years. Lin Fangtian did not abandon the city and fled after losing Xingzhou this time, nor did he surrender. Instead, he died in the hands of the Northwest Army.
Yan Wushuang picked up the Zhezi, read it carefully, but didn't see Lin Fangtian's death in battle.
Upon seeing this, Meng Nian said hurriedly: "The emperor, the minister is just getting the news." If Lin Fangtian abandons the city and fled, then he really deserves to die. But now that the man has died in the battle, he must not be held accountable anymore.
Yan Wushuang didn't speak any more.
Meng Nian said: "The emperor, the news must be blocked. If this news is leaked out, it will make people panic." In fact, Meng Nian also knows that this news will not be blocked for long, and Falcon is not a vegetarian.
Yan Wushuang held the Zhezi tightly with his right hand and said, "It seems that he will be able to occupy Hebei in less than two months."
When Meng Nian heard this, his expression was not good: "Our soldiers are very afraid of Yun Qing. He didn't want to fight when he heard that he brought the troops to fight, but just wanted to escape." In this case, how could a victory be possible? !
Before Yun Qing extinguished the title of God of War by the North Captives, Yan Wushuang was worried that when they confronted the Northwest Army, their people would show their timidity. Unexpectedly, the situation was much more serious than he thought.
Yan Wushuang is not willing to talk nonsense: "It seems that our plan has to be implemented in advance."
Meng Nian nodded heavily.
Looking outside through the window, Yan Wushuang said, "If we fail, we will proceed to retreat to Liaodong."
"The emperor will not fail. As long as Yun Qing is dead, this battle will not go on." He was confident about this.
Yan Wushuang shook his head lightly and said, "Look at what God meant!" He had succeeded in dealing with Han Yuxi several times, but Han Yuxi was alive. If Han Yuxi died, Yun Qing would be a Northwest King at best.
Feeling a little irritable, Yan Wushuang handled the emergency, and then went to the harem.
Yuchen was dealing with official duties, and when he saw that Yan Wushuang's expression was not right, he sent out the person who reported the matter.
"The emperor, what's the matter?" There was a little caution in the words. No way, if Yan Wushuang vented his anger on her, that would really be wronged.
Yan Wushuang was in a bad mood, and said, "Play two more cheerful songs for me." Need to change his mood.
Although the final duel has not yet arrived, the situation is clear now that he has fallen into a disadvantage. Being pressed down by someone who I don't like, this kind of feeling is really too awkward.
Yuchen didn't dare to object, and went to the piano room to get the piano by himself. Yan Wushuang's expression improved a lot after playing two contemplative songs.
"Xingzhou has fallen." After saying that, Yan Wushuang laughed at himself: "It only took a long time before Xingzhou fell."
Yuchen's heart shuddered: "We broke Xingzhou in only half a day? Is the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army so strong?" If so, it would be useless for them to retreat to Liaodong.
Yan Wushuang shook his head lightly and said: "The Northwest Army is very powerful, but it lost Xingzhou so quickly because the soldiers who defended the city were all scared to hear that Yun Qing led the troops."
Yuchen's expression changed: "Then Hebei will soon fall into Yun Qing's hands?" Once Hebei is lost, Yun Qing's next target will be Beijing.
Yan Wushuang said: "Shimen has a week, so there should be no problem guarding for a month." Before, Yan Wushuang thought that Shimen would be able to guard at least two or three months. But after the Xingzhou incident, he knew it was impossible.
Yuchen panicked: "The emperor, once Shimen falls, wouldn't it be dangerous for the capital." Shimen was only more than eight hundred miles away from the capital. Once Shimen is lost, they are not safe.
Yan Wushuang said, "Don't be afraid, I will send you to Shengjing in a few days."
"But Yun Qing is so powerful, is it safe for us to go to Shengjing?" The words were unsatisfactory. In normal times, she would definitely not dare to say this. But the fear of the future now defeated her fear of Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang smiled, with a three-pointed sarcasm on his face: "If you don't go to Shengjing, do you want to stay?"
Yuchen's face turned pale with fright.
Yan Wushuang got up and said to Yuchen, "Don't worry, you won't be left in the capital. But if you don't want to go now, you will go with me then." This is also considered to give Yuchen a choice.
Yuchen gritted his teeth and said, "I will go with the emperor." It is not safe to follow the concubine and the prince princess. Following Yan Wushuang, safety is guaranteed.
Hearing these words, Yan Wushuang said, "Get ready!" After saying this, he went out.
