Chapter 325, The Decisive Battle
Yun Ranyang used the Qiankun Mirror to provoke the relationship between Fan Wenzhong and Wei Dazhao, and then, he methodically waited for Fan Wenzhong to come to ransom people with the Qiankun Mirror. It's only been a few days, and Fan Wenzhong still hasn't made any moves.
Yun Ranyang decided to add another handful of firewood to make this fire in Rongcheng burn completely.
So, Yun Ranyang personally escorted Fan Shishu to Rongcheng.
After the defeat of Long Cheng and the death of Jiang Chongwu, Fan Wenzhong completely turned into a frightened bird.
Now, he has learned that Wei Dazhao has different intentions and intends to swallow the Qiankun Mirror privately, how can he tolerate it?
Although Fan Wenzhong still has 100,000 horses stationed in Rongcheng, Wei Dazhao's private soldiers also have tens of thousands, and it is not beneficial for him to turn against him at this time.
However, his son can't help but save him, what should he do?
In the end, Fan Wenzhong secretly sent Fu Hu back to the imperial city to transfer 200,000 troops. He himself stayed in Rongcheng to sit in the town, on the one hand, in order to stabilize Wei Dazhao, and on the other hand, he planned to kill Li Ling, the king of Jin, in one fell swoop.
Li Ling, the king of Jin, is now the only obstacle on his way to the throne.
The fall of Longcheng was a pain in Fan Wenzhong's bones. Now, he can't afford to lose Rongcheng anymore.
It's just that time waits for no one, and Fu Hu hasn't waited for his troops to come back! Yun Ranyang took his son Fan Shishu and came to the outside of Rongcheng City.
Do only 5,000 people want to attack the city? It's a big joke!
Although Master Fan had never really fought with Yun Ranyang, he didn't dare to take Yun Ranyang's statement lightly.
When Fan Taishi stood on the tower of Rongcheng City and looked down, he saw that the thousands of people and horses brought by Yun Ranyang were busy setting up camp and repairing the fortress! It looks like it's going to be here for a long time.
What does he mean by that? Master Fan was completely stunned.
A few days later, a huge platform was erected in the open space outside Rongcheng City, and the height was close to the tower of Rongcheng.
Just when Fan Wenzhong was puzzled, one day, there was movement on the high platform.
A group of soldiers came up and tied a man in the middle of the platform.
"Ahh Shishu. Seeing clearly that the person who was tied up was his beloved son, Fan Wenzhong was shocked and sweated coldly.
At this time, on both sides of the high platform, there are flag bearers waving flags, which read: Three days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, stand and behead.
"What? Do you still want to tear up the ticket in person? It's so deceitful! Master Fan scolded angrily, so angry that he clenched his fists.
Since Jiang Chongwu's martyrdom, Yun Moxuan and Fu Yuanzheng have been promoted to left and right generals.
At this time, Yun Moxuan opened his mouth and proposed: "Master Taishi, it is better to send troops to attack and snatch the big marshal back." ”
Fan Wenzhong nodded, at this time, he also had this idea.
Since he can't tear his face with Wei Dazhao yet, he is also thinking about a trade-off.
"Depending on the general, it is better to sacrifice Wei Dazhao, regardless of whether he has a Qiankun Mirror or not, and let him explain it to Yun Ranyang himself. The key is to get the son back safely. Fu Yuanzheng disagreed with Yun Moxuan's opinion.
That's the way to do it!
Capture the thief and capture the king first, if Wei Dazhao is finished, he will have Tibetan soldiers, and he will also have no leader in the dragons, and he will be scattered.
Now, Wei Dazhao is no longer of much use to Fan Taishi, but has become a threat to him.
Therefore, he must also be eradicated.
"Master Taishi, don't mess up at this time, Yun Ranyang obviously wants to split the relationship between Master Taishi and City Lord Wei, Master Taishi can't fall for his tricks." For Yun Ranyang, Yun Moxuan still knows a lot about this person. Very precisely, he said his purpose.
The people on the tower are arguing! On the high platform came another group of soldiers armed with bows and arrows.
The group calmly set up their arrows on the high platform, as if they were going to practice archery. It's just that the position of the arrow is only a few steps away from the position where Fan Shishu was tied.
Subsequently, this group of people practiced shooting on the high platform.
At this moment, it really scared Fan Wenzhong so much that he was about to scatter.
He saw that several arrows were speeding past Fan Shishu's head.
Another one was nailed to Fan Shishu's clothes, which frightened Fan Shishu and screamed.
"Daddy, Daddy, come and save me! Daddy, I can't live! Wei Dazhao, if you don't hand over the Qiankun Mirror, Ben Shuai will definitely kill your dog! Whining...... Dad, I can't stand it anymore...... Come and save me......"
Those cold arrows, with the breath of death, whistled past Fan Shishu's side, and this time they passed by death, which was more terrifying and torturous than death itself.
It's like you're constantly experiencing the fear of dying.
It's devastating.
The son's desperate cry made Fan Wenzhong's heart continue to bleed. He is over half a hundred years old, and all the honor and glory in this life will be his son's. If you don't have a son, what's the point of your life's efforts?
Who will be handed over to the inheritance of thousands of generations?
Although Master Fan has other sons, he can't compare with this son in terms of age or the hard work he has put in.
Shishu is the best choice, his most beloved son, and his chosen heir.
"Master Taishi, if you don't save people, I'm afraid my son won't be able to hold on......" Yun Moxuan said eagerly.
Master Fan waved his hand to stop him from continuing, turned around, and did not look at the scene opposite.
How easy is it to save people? I'm afraid that as soon as he makes a move, his son's head will be lost.
Fan Taishi ignored Yun Moxuan's suggestion to rob people, and ruthlessly did not listen to Fan Shishu's plea, and walked down from the city tower with his men and horses.
Although he was distressed, Fan Wenzhong knew that Yun Ranyang had given him three days, and in these three days, he would not be able to do anything to Shishu.
It's just that in these three days, the world is afraid that it will suffer a lot!
Not long after Fan Taishi came down from the city tower, the conversation between the few of them had already reached Wei Dazhao's ears.
Especially the proposal of the rich expedition, Fan Taishi did not veto. And Yun Moxuan's proposal seems to have been opposed. This matter spread like a poisonous vine in Wei Dazhao's heart.
No, you have to make a move before Master Fan does it to himself.
So, that night, Wei Dazhao used the Qiankun Mirror as Erbium to lure Fan Taishi to Shengyu Tower. The group of brave and invincible soul killers under Wei Dazhao killed Fan Taishi and the guards he brought with him. Since then, the control of Rongcheng has completely fallen into the hands of Wei Dazhao.
"Ran Yang, Fan Taishi was killed by Wei Dazhao!" After learning the news, Tuoba Zhi went out of the city overnight and informed Yun Ranyang of everything that happened in Rongcheng.
Yun Ranyang raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "Where are Fu Hu's reinforcements?" "Rongcheng's mutiny was all expected by Yun Ranyang, but he didn't expect that Wei Dazhao would win in the end.
And the 200,000 troops mobilized by Fu Hu from the capital were what Yun Ranyang was really worried about.
It was also for this reason that Yun Ranyang asked Qiao Xu to lead 100,000 horses to set up an ambush on the road that Fu Hu's reinforcements must pass, waiting for an opportunity to kill.
Therefore, Rongcheng can only rely on the people of Xiaoyun Camp and King Jin.
"I've entered Taihang Mountain!" Yun Ranyang's subordinates reported.
Qiao Xu's men and horses were ambushed in Taihang Mountain, and it seemed that the decisive battle had begun.
"With the left arm of the red woman, act tonight, kill Wei Dazhao, and take Rongcheng in one fell swoop." Yun Ranyang's order suddenly made the army that had been waiting for many days excited.
Because of the Xiaoyun camp and the people of the King of Jin, they responded from the city of Rongcheng. Yun Ranyang's 5,000 men and horses stationed outside Rongcheng attacked Rongcheng without much effort.
After entering the city, the two sides engaged in fierce street fighting.
That night, Yun Ranyang's men and horses had already occupied the mansion of the Marshal and Wei Dazhao, and searched around for traces of the Qiankun Mirror.
Finally, in the hands of Wei Dazhao's daughter Wei Zhenzhen, the last piece of Qiankun mirror was found.
After getting the Qiankun Mirror, Yun Ranyang kept finding King Jin and handed over all the Qiankun Mirrors to him. The King of Jin did not dare to delay, and made an appointment with Qin Ziyu to find the holy palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Wei Dazhao, who had lost the Qiankun Mirror and the base area, opened the embankment of the Tuohe River in a fit of rage, and in an instant, the boiling river water poured into Rongcheng.
Overnight, a famous city was destroyed. Not only that, this flood also inundated more than 100 cities, including Zhongshan Kingdom, Changling Kingdom, and Xihua Kingdom, and the fertile land pastures stretched for hundreds of miles.
Floating corpses, mourning all over the field, full of devastation.
Wei Dazhao took advantage of the chaos to break through and fled towards the extremely cold snow-capped mountains in the north.
A year later, Qiao Xu still remembers the tragic scene. That night, Yun Ranyang came to find him, and handed over the token of the Yun family army and the golden seal of the great general Wang to him.
He said: "The future of the Yun family army depends on you. ”
"Ran Yang, where are you going?" Qiao Xu asked puzzled.
"Wei Dazhao must die, I will go to the snow mountain to hunt him down." This is his answer, short, resolute, and decisive.
Wei Dazhao diverted water to irrigate the city, ruined the lives of the people, and he died innocently. Yun Ranyang's decision is beyond doubt.
"Alright! I'll keep them for you first, and when you come back, I'll give them back in full. With that, Qiao Xu put away the big seal.
Yun Ranyang hooked his lips slightly and said nothing.
"If the emperor wants you to marry Rulan, you can marry it! That's a good girl. Also, the Yun family's army is the army of Xihua after all, and it does not belong to the Yun family. Before leaving, Yun Ranyang left Qiao Xu with such a sentence.
It wasn't until it had been a year since Yun Ranyang said this that Qiao Xu understood his true intentions.
A year after Yun Ranyang's disappearance, the emperor canonized Qiao Xu as a hussar general, with full responsibility for the drills of the Yun family's army.
Since then, there is no more Yun King in the world, and soon after, the Yun Family Army was renamed: Zhendong Army.
Since then, there has been no king of Xihua again.
It turned out that Ran Yang had expected that the emperor would revoke his vassal king after he left, and he was willing to hand over his military power.
On the wedding day of Qiao Xu and Princess Rulan, Qiao Xu saw Feng Ruche, who had been under house arrest by the emperor for many years. Unexpectedly, he also came to congratulate him.
Along with him, there was also Yun Rongjie.
The Yun family was implicated by Yun Moxuan, and all of them were demoted to concubines, and Yun Moxuan himself was beheaded by the emperor for treason a year ago.
It's just that Feng Ruche doesn't seem to mind this, and he is already satisfied with being able to walk with Rong Jie.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, as if a distinguished guest came to the door, and Qiao Xu immediately came out to greet him.
"General Joe, congratulations!" The person who came to congratulate was Murong Yu, another great general of Xihua Kingdom.
Qiao Xu immediately greeted him with a smile: "General Murong came in person, it really makes the humble house shine!" Inside please! ”
Murong Yu smiled mysteriously, pulled Qiao Xu's arm, pointed to the carriage behind him, and whispered, "Guess who is here?" ”
Could it be......
Qiao Xu was excited for a while, and was about to speak, when he saw the curtain of the car lifted, and Lan Xue'er got out of the car.
"Hey! Qiao Xu, I heard that you married a daughter-in-law, why didn't you invite me? Don't treat me as a friend, do you? As soon as she got out of the car, Lan Xue'er complained angrily.
Suddenly, Qiao Xu was indescribably disappointed.
"What? Don't want me to come? "Lan Xue'er is still aggressive.
Qiao Xu was helpless, so he could only pile up smiling faces and answer: "Where can it!" Warmly welcome the Lord of the Blue Snow County to the Humble House. ”
"Xue'er, don't make trouble, hurry up and help me hold the baby."
At this time, a beautiful woman stepped out of the car, holding a fat boy in her arms.
"Weiyang!" Qiao Xu was overjoyed and called out.
Now, she is already the crown princess of Changling Kingdom, but I didn't expect her to come in person.
Because, Fang Yinghui, the crown prince of Changling Kingdom, once assassinated the emperor of Xihua at night when he was still King Xiao a few years ago. Since then, the emperor has been haunted, and the relationship between the two countries has not been good. Therefore, Qiao Xu didn't expect Shangguan Weiyang to come in person.
And the son in her arms was named: Fang Yixian, although he was only full of life, he had already been canonized as the emperor's grandson.
Unexpectedly, today, they all appeared at his doorstep.
"What? Don't you welcome me? Seeing him hesitating, Weiyang asked softly.
Qiao Xu smiled slightly, it was joy from the heart, and hurriedly replied: "How come, I am so happy to see you." ”
Ran Yang, she and her children are very healthy and happy. I guess that's your greatest wish in this life!
You'll only be happy if she's happy, right?
Thinking of that night, Yun Ranyang's lonely back was drowned in the dark twilight, and since then, he has never returned.
