At the beginning of the day, the sky just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and everything was so comfortable and quiet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The soldier standing guard on the city wall was sleepy, and he couldn't help but fight.

Seeing the black pressure in the distance slowly approaching, the soldier rubbed his eyes, and 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 poured up from under the city wall.

After noon, the Northwest Army broke through the gate and planted its banner on the wall of Xingzhou.

In the evening, Zao Zao stood in front of Yunqing and Qihao covered in blood and said, "These people in the imperial court are really useless, they raised their hands and surrendered before they could fight. "Yun Qing killed the captives in his last life, and that was because he had a deep hatred for the northern captives. In this life, under the influence of Yuxi, Yunqing has never killed a captive again. This also has the advantage of knowing that the Northwest Army will not kill prisoners and will not resist when it comes to it, so they surrender very neatly.

Yunqing said: "Isn't this a good thing? When they surrendered, there was no damage. "If these people resist to the end, there will definitely be some casualties.

Qi Hao said: "Eldest sister, you better go wash up first." If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later. The smell of blood made him uncomfortable.

Zao Zao said with a smile: "Ah Hao, how can you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future when you are so particular now?" ”

Qi Hao said lightly: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. "With his identity, even if he wants to go into battle to kill the enemy like a jujube, his father and mother will not allow it.

Zao Zao smiled and said, "I can't mean you." Okay, I'm going to change my clothes now. ”

After capturing Xingzhou, Yunqing did not stop, but led a large army to prepare to attack Shimen. And the one who guarded the stone gate was Zhou Fei, the chief soldier of Hebei.

The news of the defeat of the Xingzhou army soon spread to Shimen, and Zhou Fei's face was ugly. He also knew that the criminal state could not be defended, but he could expect to be able to hold it for ten days and a half months. As a result, it took only half a day for the state to be captured.

The more than ten generals present were silent, and none of these people were unworried when they mentioned Yunqing. The fierce northern captives were not the opponents of the Ming King, they were beaten by the Ming King and hid in the depths of the grassland, where were they the opponents of the Ming King. It's just a well-known thing, but no one dares to bring it up. Otherwise, Zhou Fei would not be able to spare them.

Seeing that none of the people present said a word, Zhou Fei said: "Xingzhou has been captured, and Yunqing's next target must be Shimen." Do you have any good ideas? ”

No matter how good the idea is, it is useless to the Ming King who has the name of the god of war.

Zhou Fei is on fire in his heart, but the law does not blame the public, can he still scold everyone. Moreover, it is up to those present to fight. If you want to scold fiercely, these people are all picky, then there is no need to fight this battle, and the stone gate will be handed over directly.

After saying a few words, Zhou Fei let everyone go back. Sitting on the chair, Zhou Fei's face was a little defeated, and he said, "This battle has already been lost without fighting." ”

Zhou Ang said: "King Ming is like a god with soldiers, and it is normal for the generals to be a little timid in their hearts. ”

Zhou Fei smiled bitterly: "Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that the stone gate can't be guarded. But if you don't fight, you will be ashamed of this armor. The emperor also knows this, otherwise he would not let Zhou Ang pretend to take refuge.

Zhou Ang knew that Zhou Fei felt uncomfortable: "General, the trend of the times is not something that can be reversed by one person." "King Ming has won the hearts of the people, and the emperor can't win him.

When Zhou Fei heard this, he sighed and said, "The emperor is already preparing to withdraw to Liaodong. It can be withdrawn to Liaodong now, but where can it be withdrawn in the future? "One day, King Ming will lead his troops to attack Liaodong.

Zhou Ang did not answer.

Zhou Fei also knew that it was meaningless to say this: "You said that the emperor asked you to pretend to join King Ming, what is your intention?" ”

Zhou Ang shook his head and said, "I don't know either." Yan Wushuang just asked Zhou Ang to take refuge in King Ming, as for what he wanted him to do, he couldn't understand it now.

Zhou Fei 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 heaven and reason, you must not agree." ”

Zhou Ang was stunned.

At this juncture, Zhou Fei had no scruples: "The emperor suffered a family change when he was young, and later went through a lot of things, which led to some extreme behavior. "That's a tactful way of putting it. Yan Wushuang would rather be responsible for the world than for the people of the world to bear me.

Zhou Ang said: "I guess the emperor wants me to find an opportunity to assassinate King Ming. ”

Zhou Fei said: "If the emperor asks you to assassinate King Ming, you will do it." If you are allowed to do something that is unreasonable, you must not agree to it. Zhou Ang, there are some things that can be done, and some things that cannot be done. You must remember this. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ang said: "General, you ......" How did it sound like confessing his last words.

Zhou Fei held the sword at his waist and whispered: "The city is here, and the city is dead." "He's going to defend the stone gate to the death. Unable to hold on, he would rather commit suicide than retreat to the capital.

Zhou Ang was shocked: "General, you can't, you can't stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood." ”

Zhou Fei shook his head and said, "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind." "I'd rather die standing than retreat from life, this is his life creed.

The good news of Xingzhou soon spread to Ho City, and Yuxi was used to Yunqing winning the battle, so when he got the news, he smiled and put the good news aside and continued to deal with things.

After Yuxi finished dealing with things, Meilan said with a smile: "Princess, the prince has won a battle, so how can I celebrate." ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's not too late to celebrate when we take the capital." She hoped that Yunqing could be resolved quickly, knowing that every day that this battle dragged on would cost one more day of silver. Each day's expenses add up to a lot of money.

Seeing this, Meilan didn't speak anymore.

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Let Mother Bai cook two more dishes, and I'll eat with Liu Er in the evening." "Yunqing and they are not at home, and the triplets are in the barracks again, and Mother Bai has a lot of free time during this time. But she is not idle, and has been making all kinds of pickles.

Within two days, the news of Yunqing's victory reached the Qianwei Battalion. When Brother Xuan and Brother You were about to go to Xu Zhen's place for dinner, they heard soldiers saying things like 'our army is like a broken bamboo' and "the enemy army is defeated" from time to time on the road.

Brother Xuan said to Brother You'er: "Ayou, is it that my father won the battle, so General Xu asked us to eat." "Brother Xuan and Brother You are separated in two teams, but they still eat and live together.

There's no way, Brother You really can't get used to living in the Chase Shop. Then he stubbornly lived for three days, but he didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, and then fainted on the school training ground.

Brother You nodded and said, "It should be!" "Apart from this reason, Brother You'er can't find any other reason.

When they arrived at the place where Xu Zhen lived, the two brothers saw Brother Rui. After a year in the army, Brother Rui is taller and darker than before.

Brother Rui showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "Ah Xuan, Ah You, I've been waiting for you for a long time." "Brother Xuan is eager to go home on vacation, but unfortunately Xu Zhen doesn't give him leave. Brother Rui was reluctant to go back, and he couldn't wait to stay in the barracks twelve hours a day.

During the meal, Xu Zhen said with a smile on his face: "The prince has taken the criminal state, do you know the news?" "Yunqing won the battle, and everyone was happy.

Brother Rui said with a depressed face: "I heard about it, but it's a pity that I can't go with my father." In this regard, Brother Rui is very resentful. The eldest sister can go to war at the age of twelve, but he can't.

Xu Zhen said with a smile: "Second Highness, as long as you learn your skills well, you will not have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future." ”

Although they have a high status, they can eat two more eggs than others for three meals in the army. There were all kinds of chickens, ducks, and fish on the table, and none of the triplets were polite, and they ate with an open stomach, and they ended up eating.

Xu Zhen laughed: "When I can train, just run two more laps." ”

On the way back, Brother Xuan said: "Brother, my father must be very happy if he wins the battle." You said that now I propose to go back, will my mother agree? ”

Brother You glanced at Brother Xuan and said, "Have you seen when your mother went against your father's meaning?" The result of your letter will only keep us in the army longer. ”

After speaking, Brother You added: "Let me tell you, I will accompany you until the end of the year at most." If you haven't relented, I'll be going home. "He didn't want to stay in the army anymore, not because he was afraid of hardship, but because the food here was too poor. He misses the food at home and the snacks in the market.

Brother Xuan was very frustrated.

Yan Wushuang knew about the fall of Xingzhou in the fastest time, and slammed the fold on the royal table: "I lost Xingzhou in only half a day, Lin Fang is really damned." "Lin Fangtian is the guard of the criminal state.

Hearing this, Meng Nian carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, Lin Fangtian has already died in battle. "Lin Fangtian is Zhou Fei's subordinate and has followed Zhou Fei for more than ten years. This time, Lin Fangtian did not abandon the city and flee, nor did he surrender, but died at the hands of the Northwest Army.

Yan Wushuang picked up the fold and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see Lin Fangtian's words of death.

Seeing this, Meng Nian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just got the news. "If Lin Fangtian abandoned the city and fled, then he really deserved to die. But now that the man has died in battle, he must no longer be held accountable for his fault.

Yan Wushuang didn't speak anymore.

Meng Nian said: "Your Majesty, you must block the news. If this news leaks out, it will cause panic. In fact, Meng Nian also knew that this news would not be blocked for long, and the falcon was not a vegetarian.

Yan Wushuang grabbed the fold 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-looking: "Our soldiers are all afraid of Yunqing. Hearing that he was leading the troops to fight, he didn't want to fight, he just wanted to run for his life. "In this case, how can you win the battle!

Before, Yun Qing destroyed the Northern Captivity and was given the name of the God of War, 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 was not willing to talk nonsense: "It seems that our plan is going to be implemented in advance." ”

Meng Nian nodded heavily.

Looking out through the window, Yan Wushuang said, "If it fails, we will start withdrawing to Liaodong." ”

"Your Majesty, you won't fail. As long as Yunqing is dead, this battle will not be able to continue. "He is confident in that.

Yan Wushuang shook his head lightly and said, "Look at what God means!" "He succeeded in dealing with Han Yuxi several times, but Han Yuxi was alive. If Han Yuxi dies, Yunqing will be the king of the northwest at most.

Feeling a little irritable, Yan Wushuang dealt with the emergency and then went to the harem.

Yuchen was dealing with official business, and when he saw that Yan Wushuang's expression was not quite right, he sent the person who was in charge of the matter out.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" There was a little caution in the words. There is no way, if Yan Wushuang vents his anger on her, it will really be wronged.

Yan Wushuang was in a very bad mood and said, "Play two cheerful tunes for me." "A change of mood is needed.

Although it is not yet the final showdown, it is clear that he has fallen into the upper hand. It's so embarrassing to be pressed down by someone you don't like.

Yuchen didn't dare to object, so he went to the piano room to get the piano himself. After playing two contemplative tunes, Yan Wushuang's expression was much better.

"Penal states have fallen." After speaking, Yan Wushuang laughed at himself: "It only took half a day for Xingzhou to fall." ”

Yuchen's heart sank: "It only took half a day to break through the criminal state? 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 combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is very strong, but the reason why the Northwest Army lost Xingzhou so quickly was because the soldiers defending the city were all afraid when they heard that it was Yunqing leading the troops. ”

Yuchen's face changed: "Then isn't Hebei going to fall into Yunqing's hands soon?" "Once Hebei is lost, Yunqing's next target will be the capital.

Yan Wushuang said: "There is Zhou Fei in Shimen, and there should be no problem in guarding it for a month." "Before, Yan Wushuang thought that Shimen could hold on for at least two or three months. But after the incident in the criminal state, he knew that it was impossible.

Yuchen was a little panicked: "Your Majesty, once Shimen falls, won't the capital be in danger." "Shimen is more than 800 miles away from the capital. Once the stone gate is lost, they are not safe.

Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I will send you to Shengjing in a few days." ”

"But Yunqing is so powerful, is it safe for us to go to Shengjing?" It's hard to say anything. In normal times, she would definitely not dare to say this. But now her fear of the future overcame her fear of Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang smiled, and that smile was full of sarcasm: "If you don't go to Shengjing, then you want to stay?" ”

Yuchen's face turned white with fright.

Yan Wushuang got up and said to Yuchen: "Don't worry, I won't leave you in the capital." But if you don't want to go now, come with me then. This can be regarded as giving Yuchen the right to choose.

Yuchen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with the emperor." "Follow the concubines and princesses, there are too many people and it's not safe. Following Yan Wushuang, safety is guaranteed.

Hearing this, Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "Get ready!" And when he had said this, he went out.
