178. Peace of mind

The army of the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty was like a bamboo, and the army of Northern Zheng was defeated and retreated. With the assistance of the Mo Nan Iron Cavalry, soon, the forward troops of the Wang army connected several cities, and a good news flew to Yu Wenrui's Chinese army.

Yu Wenrui was naturally happy, on the one hand, she encouraged the whole army to take Zhengdu in one go, and on the other hand, she secretly warned herself to guard against arrogance and rashness.

Diametrically opposed to the high morale on the side of the Great Zhou, the Beizheng army was simply about to collapse.

In the past, Yang Can rebelled out of the Great Zhou, and when the dynasty was first established, there were still some die-hard cadres around him, which could be regarded as a martial arts concentric. But the older Yang Can gets, the same stubbornness that he often has as an emperor commits it. Later, Yang Lie forced the palace, Yang Lie was extremely self-righteous, he became the emperor or the emperor by bloody means, and his self-righteousness was even worse than his father. Until Yang Lie died, Zhan Teng abused power, and the political situation of the Northern Zheng court was rotten to the roots. Don't say that the government and the opposition hate the Zhan clan and dare to be angry and dare not speak out, that is, the guards of various cities, and the vast majority of them also have the idea of "saving their lives is far better than martyrdom".

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Great Zhou and Mo Nan arrived, sixty percent of the ten guards abandoned the city and fled, and the remaining more than three percent simply surrendered to the pool, and only less than one percent still had the courage to fight, or died in the fight, or was unwilling to be humiliated by the enemy, and committed suicide by wiping his neck.

In this way, the only force that can barely support it is Zhan Yu, but it also fights and retreats, until there is no way to retreat.

In the Beizheng Forbidden Palace, the little emperor Yang You was reading the battle report in front of him, and there was no good news in the thick stack of battle reports.

"Whoaβ€”"

In a fit of rage, he tore over the books, along with the stack of war reports. Because of the small strength of the person, coupled with the anger in his belly, he gasped and gritted his teeth, and his little face turned red.

"Idiot! It's all stupid! His childish voice echoed through the hall.

The attendants and maids on duty in the hall all knelt down and did not dare to make a sound. No matter how small and weak the emperor is, he is still the emperor after all, even if all they think about now is how to escape when the Zhou army breaks the city, but under the low eaves, no one will hesitate to come out with a low posture to protect their lives.

"Tokuko! What about my aunt? Why haven't you been invited yet? Yang You asked with a childish face, extremely impatient.

The named little waiter had the courage to say resignedly: "Your Majesty, someone has already invited you, but ......"

"But what?!" Yang You listened to him and lost his patience.

"The eldest princess...... Sick ......"

"Sick? I saw that she was okay the day before yesterday. ”

"The person sent replied that the eldest princess had a high fever and did not go away, and the water and rice did not enter for a day and a night." The little chamberlain said truthfully.

"It's all to blame...... If I hadn't dragged my aunt day and night to discuss military affairs, my aunt wouldn't have been so sick! It's useless...... Yang You paused weakly, his eyes glazed over.

"Has the Imperial Doctor gone to see it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has already gone to the eldest princess's mansion." The little chamberlain replied respectfully.

Yang You sighed, stood up, and shook his robe, "Swing!" I'm going to the eldest princess's mansion to see my aunt. ”

The word "yes" of the inner attendant had not yet been turned out, and suddenly a noise was heard outside the hall.

"Who's making a fuss?" Yang You's face was displeased.

Before anyone could answer him, screams, the crashing of soldiers, and the sound of boots scurrying on the ground followed.

"Your Majesty...... ι™›xiΓ ! Big things are wrong! King of Jin, King of Jin, he ......"

A chamberlain ran in with fresh blood on his shirt. But before he could finish his sentence, he was nailed to the back of the heart by an arrow shot from nowhere, and he didn't snort anymore and died.

Large expanses of blood leaked from under the corpses and seeped into the cracks of the floor tiles......

"Ahh Yang You was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground, trembling and shaking.

King Jin?

What happened to King Jin?

Could it be the other way around?

"Such good things have been abandoned by you? Your Yang family is really a loser. The red-robed ink armor slowly paced to the side of the little emperor's bookcase, leaned over to pick up the jade seal that had been swept to the ground before, and held it in his palm to look at it carefully.

Yang You's face was as earthy as the color of the earth, staring at the saber at his waist, for fear that he would draw his sword and slash at him in the next moment.

Zhan Teng raised his eyelids and said, "Are you afraid of me?" ”

Yang You shuddered, and subconsciously rubbed back: "You...... What are you doing? ”

There was an evil smile on the corner of Zhan Teng's mouth: "Can't you see this?" Naturally, I'm here to kill you! ”

Yang You's whole body was cold, "You, you're going to rebel!" ”

"Rebellion?" Zhan Teng seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and looked up to the sky to laugh.

"I want to rebel! I didn't expect your Yang family's country to be so uncompetitive, if you don't wait for me to rebel against you, you will be finished first! ”

"You...... You ......" Yang You was terrified when he saw the fierce look on his face.

"If I knew this was the case, Lao Tzu should have killed you earlier!" The warrior roared, "staggering" and drawing his sword.

"But it's not too late!"

"I am the Great Zheng Tianzi! You dare to kill the king! Yang You didn't know where to get the courage, and shouted hoarsely.

Zhan Teng laughed: "Da Zheng Tianzi? Sort of a fart! It's only your head that has some use now......"

Inside and outside the main hall, dead bodies lay on the ground, like blood.

Zhan Teng shook off the blood stains on the blade of the sword, and said coldly: "There is one in the harem, and there is not half of it alive!" ”

Chang Xiao, who was dressed in black, nodded yes, and said uneasily: "Where is the eldest prince......"

Zhan Teng snorted coldly: "I don't know what to do, let him go!" ”

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "You personally take people back to the palace, no matter what happens, you must protect the princess and Zhan Ying." Lone entrusts the safety of their mother and son to you! ”

Chang Xiao was stunned, "Don't worry, the prince!" ”

He said: "The eldest princess, the prince should be careful!" ”

Zhan Teng said disdainfully: "She is so sick that she is dying, even if she is not sick, what can a weak woman who has no power to restrain her hands do?" ”

Beizheng, the eldest princess's mansion.

"Hanqiu, is there any news from the palace?" Yang Xi's face was haggard, and he forced his weak body to ask the personal maid.

"Your Royal Highness......" Hanqiu wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong? Did His Majesty come to ask the palace to discuss important matters? Yang Xi asked urgently.

"Your Majesty...... He ...... "Hanqiu bit her lip, not knowing whether to tell the bad news to the eldest princess who was seriously ill.

"What the hell is going on? Are you going to die in a hurry? ”

Han Qiu's heart is horizontal, "Your Majesty xiΓ  he ......"

"Boomβ€”"

"Boomβ€”"

Several cannon shots rang out one after another, which was deafening, and Han Qiu's words were also drowned out in the sound of cannons. Immediately afterward, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

"What a sound!" Yang Xi got out of the bed in a panic, "Could it be Zhou Jun......"

"Your Highness!" Hanqiu rushed forward to support her, "You're still sick!" ”

"Don't stop Hongu!" Yang Xi waved her arm away suddenly, "This must be the Zhou army attacking the city!" This palace has to hurry into the palace to see the driver......"

"Your Highness! Han Qiu mourned, "Your Majesty...... It's, it's gone! ”

"You say...... What the? Yang Xi's eyes were bloodshot in disbelief.

"It's King Jin! King Jin led his troops into the inner palace and gave all the people in the palace ......" Hanqiu couldn't say any more.

Yang Xi only felt a strong dizziness coming, and her eyes were dark, and she fell to the ground.

The capital of Northern Zheng was breached by Wu Bin's vanguard troops. This siege battle was not very strenuous, and the difficulties that Wu Bin had expected did not appear. The Zhou army and the Monans lost some military horses, but they were far less tragic than those on the Beizheng side.

The walls of the city were crumbling, a hole had been torn apart, the smoke had not yet dissipated, and the smell of blood was still in the air. Wu Bin took the lead in rushing across the moat and stepping into the capital of Beizheng.

Once the Zheng capital was broken, the imperial power of Northern Zheng became history, and the unification of the Great Zhou Dynasty was close at hand. Wu Bin couldn't wait for the twist and turn, and as soon as he captured the city, he ordered someone to quickly whip Yu Wenrui to report the good news. He himself was patiently excited, and led his troops into the cityβ€”

Emperor Yang is still in the palace of Zhengdu, and the people in the city need to be pacified, and the messy battlefield endgame needs to be cleaned up...... There were so many things to do, and he had to hurry up and get them as sorted out as possible before Yu Wenrui's arrival arrived.

However, in front of the Beizheng Palace, what was waiting for him was not the surrendered Yang royal family, but a burly middle-aged man dressed as a military general, followed by a group of entourage, all of whom obediently abandoned their blades and were silent.

The scene in front of him was not expected by Wu Bin. He was stunned for a moment, led his horse forward, and said loudly: "This general is the vanguard officer of the Great Zhou Tianzi, who is in front of him?" ”

Unexpectedly, the red-robed man held a brocade box in front of his forehead, and said in a high voice: "After the Great Zhou Dynasty Wu Chenglie Wang Zhenyue, the grandson of the late Prime Minister Wang Zhenyi, Yu Wenqing, has been lying on his salary and tasting courage, enduring humiliation and burdening foreign countries for 20 years, and finally living up to the courage of my Great Zhou ancestors to raise Jinyang as the world's proposition, and living up to the hardships of Emperor Taizu to create the imperial industry, Qing has killed the Yang Emperor, and together with the jade seal, he will present my Great Zhou Emperor in front of the emperor!" ”

As he spoke, his eyes were red and he almost choked.

His words, not to mention Wu Bin, including the generals and soldiers behind him, as well as the former Northern Zheng soldiers present, were stunned.

Most of the people in Beizheng don't know the history of Zhou, and those generals of the Great Zhou, especially the children of the family, all know it-

Emperor Taizu's younger brother Yuwenyue, who helped Emperor Taizu raise troops in Jinyang, was heroic and brave, but unfortunately died young. Yuwenyue's two sons, the eldest son Yuwenxin rebelled during the Gaozu period, and was killed by his own brother Yuwenyi, helping Gaozu quell the rebellion.

Besides, Yuwen Qing, isn't that Yuwen Chengji's only son? Didn't he go out with the army in the early years and die in battle? The one that came out now, he claimed to be Yu Wenqing......

An older Zhou general had seen Yuwen Chengji, and he couldn't help but look at this red-robed man-

Oops! Not to mention, between the facial features and eyebrows, there is really a faint shadow of Yuwen Chengji.

Wu Bin sat on the saddle and looked at the brocade box held up by the red-robed man, which was undoubtedly the Yuxi of Beizheng; He lowered his eyes and looked at the bloody package on the ground, perhaps the head of Yang You, the little emperor of Northern Zheng. Wu Bin was worried.

"Is the old thief unwise!" Yu Wenrui shouted angrily and threw the letter to the ground.

Wei Shun was stunned, and said in his heart: Wasn't your majesty okay before? He also praised General Wu for his good fight. What's going on?

Isn't it General Wu's military report of the good news?

He glanced at the letter on the floor and hesitated to pick it up.

"Who messed with you again?" A gentle voice sounded, and someone had already leaned over to pick up the letter paper and pat it off the dust.

"Meet the Queen Mother!" Wei Shun's face flushed, it was originally his own work, but he actually let this master pick it up, rude, rude!

"Sister-in-law!" Yu Wenrui stood up from the chair and greeted Jing Yan, his face still flushed with anger.

Jing Yan sat down with her pulling, read a few lines of letters, and said: "Zheng Du has been broken, the overall situation is decided, this is a good thing!" ”

Yu Wenrui hummed unhappily: "Yan'er hasn't looked at the back yet!" The talent in the back! ”

She inadvertently called out the title that only the two of them had when they were alone, Jing Yan's cheeks turned red, and even Bingbi and Shimo hung their heads in embarrassment. is still Shen Quan, who left with his eyes, leaving only Jing Yan and Yu Wenrui.

Jing Yan's cheeks were still a little hot, she glanced at Yu Wenrui with disgust, looked at the content of the letter carefully, and was silent.

Yu Wenrui still hated himself: "Zhanteng old thief, it's really treacherous!" I haven't killed him yet, but he's done it first! ”

As he spoke, Fu gritted his teeth and said: "Wu Bin is a good hand at fighting, and there are too many differences in handling emergencies!" If I were him, I would cut off the old thief's head with a knife first, and let him confuse the people! ”

"In a hurry?" Jing Yanqin's cool palm covered Yu Wenrui's, and said solemnly: "Is it too little to suffer before?" ”

Yu Wenrui pursed her lips, and the shallow scar on her cheek jumped twice because of Jing Yan's sentence, which made her remember the days when she was in a desperate situation and almost died, and then she was seriously injured and in pain, and the corners of her mouth drooped.

"Not in a hurry. In order to stay with you for a long time, I am no longer in a hurry! Yu Wenrui swore an oath.

Jing Yanfang's face felt slightly hot when the heat faded, but such words made her feel sweet in her heart, and she couldn't help but pull Yu Wenrui to stand in front of her, tilting her face, looking at her more and more tall and straight figure, and the onion fingers stroked the ornaments on her clothes, which were all sewn by Jing Yan with a needle. She sewed the clothes, didn't she sew them into her own heart?

"Don't worry, you have to remember that no matter where you are, I will always worry about you......"

It was rare for Jing Yan to say such emotionally exposed words, which was a little uncomfortable. After a pause, she said again: "So, as long as you are safe, my heart is at peace." ”

Yu Wenrui hung his head slightly, staring at her affectionately, his eyes were almost soft into two puddles of water-

She really, can't wait to have this wonderful woman in front of her.
